Firefighters from the Ukiah Fire Department rush Virginia Larkin, 64, to the ambulance
after she was shot early Monday morning. Larkin was transferred to Santa Rosa
Memorial Hospital for treatment and later flown to UC Davis medical center.
Local law office the scene
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
A secretary at the Hugh L. Preston law firm on
South School Street was shot in the head by a
man who fled the scene at 9:39 a.m. Monday.
Larkin was first taken to Ukiah Valley Medical
Center, transferred to Santa Rosa Memorial
Hospital then flown to UC Davis Medical Center
Monday afternoon, and remained in critical condition there Monday night, according to a hospital spokesman.
The woman, identified by Preston as his secretary Virginia Larkin, 64, was shot by a man who
she apparently knew.
At the courthouse, police arrested Howard
Eugene Raff, 55, of Beaver Dam, Ariz, said
Ukiah Police Detective Sgt. John McCutcheon.
Police also have in their possession a semi-automatic handgun which is believed to have been
used in this attack.
McCutcheon said Raff ran from Preston’s
office to the Mendocino County Courthouse
where he was detained by courthouse security.
Raff made statements to courthouse security
after he was detained but McCutcheon would not
say what those statements were except to say that
Raff and the shooting victim may have been
linked both personally and through her work at
Preston’s law office.
Larkin had been represented by the Preston
law office in a child support case against Raff in
1985.
Raff was identified as the suspect by several
witnesses who were in the area at the time of the
The suspect in the shooting is Howard
Eugene Raff of Arizona.
shooting, McCutcheon said.
It is not known if anyone else was in the office
at the time of the shooting. Preston said no one
else should have been.
Preston said Larkin has been working for him
for 20 years.
“She’s like my right hand,” he said.
Preston’s law office deals mostly with probate
and family law. He said he has been threatened
previously over cases he has handled.
“In the law business we get threats, not that
often, every six-months or so,” Preston said.

U.S.
Congressman
Mike
Thompson, California’s District 1 representative since 1998, is running for
one of 435 House
of Representatives
seats that will be
decided today.
A Democrat, he
has high hopes his
party will win the
majority that has
been held by
Republicans since
Thompson
1994, and also high
hopes for what a
Democratic majority in the House can do.
“I think most important is what it’ll
mean for the country,” Thompson told
The Daily Journal on Friday.
According to a final pre-election
USA Today/Gallup poll released
Monday, voting intentions for
Congress showed Democrats with a 51
percent to 44 percent lead over
Republicans.
“I think we have not been well
served with a one-party rule in
Washington, D.C. There’s been no
checks and balances,” Thompson said
of the GOP’s years-long reign of both
the House and Senate. “It’s whatever
the White House wants, the White
House gets.”
With a majority win for Democrats
in the House today, he believes
advances in health care issues and fiscal areas can be made. As a member of
the House Committee on Ways and
Means, which he said deals primarily
with health care, Social Security, and
trade and tax policy, he said a win
would mean more influence.

Hopland school library filling up again
Recent donation of
1,000 books helps
repair flood damage
By LAURA MCCUTCHEON
The Daily Journal
Books -- over a thousand of them
--- have been flowing into the
Hopland Elementary School library
to replace reading materials lost in
the damaging New Year’s Eve
weekend flood.
Floodwaters created well over a
million dollars in damage to the little country school.
Project Inkslinger, one of
American Mensas Community
Service programs, just completed a
donation of over a thousand books
to the library, to replace the thousands lost in the storm.
“With the help of groups like
Reader to Reader, Inc. and the
Junior League-Palo Alto MidPeninsular, we were able to donate
over 100 boxes of books to the
school,” said Michael Beetham,
coordinator for Project Inkslinger.
“In the aftermath of the storm last
January, children joined in wearing
rubber gloves and gumboots and
carted the ruined books out to the
dumpster in Radio Flyer wagons.
It’s well worth our time, energy and
effort to help give a library full of
books back to those kids,” Beetham
said.
“All summer, they kept sending
them to us,” Hopland School
Principal Jeanne Yttreness said
gratefully. “They came in 30-pound
increments.”
School
librarian,
Becki
Sankovich, noted many schools,
businesses, and individuals, too,
have donated to the library which
should “hopefully” be open sometime next month. Likely the largest
local donation -- $14,500 -- came

A 20-year-old Ukiah man was
reportedly in stable condition Monday
at Ukiah Valley Medical Center after
being stabbed early Sunday morning.
The victim, whose name is being
withheld by the Mendocino County
Sheriff’s Office, was at a party in the
3800 block of Highway 175 in
Hopland when he was stabbed in the
chest, causing major injuries, according to MCSO Capt. Kurt Smallcomb.
Deputies and officers from the
California Highway Patrol responded
to the incident at around 1:30 a.m.
after someone at the party called 911.
Apparently, the suspect -- 26 yearold Hopland resident Marco Gonzalez
-- and his brothers, took offense at the
victim’s activities at the party and a
confrontation took place. A large fight
erupted, at which time the victim was
allegedly stabbed by Gonzalez.
Smallcomb said he does not think
the fight was gang related.
The victim was transported by
ambulance to the hospital.
Gonzalez was arrested on suspicion
of attempted murder and booked into
the Mendocino County Jail. His bail is
set at $500,000.

POLICE REPORTS
The world briefly
Democrats assail
status quo
WASHINGTON (AP) —
On the eve of midterm elections, Democrats criticized
Republicans as stewards of a
stale status quo while
President Bush campaigned
into the evening in a drive to
preserve GOP control in
Congress.
“They can’t run anything
right,” said former President
Clinton, taunting Republicans
about the war in Iraq, the
aftermath
of
Hurricane
Katrina and even the scandal
involving the House page program that complicated GOP
efforts to win two more years
in power.
Bush campaigned on
Monday from Florida to
Arkansas and Texas. But the
day brought one more
reminder of his poor standing
in the polls when Republican
gubernatorial
candidate
Charlie Crist skipped the presidential rally in Pensacola,
Fla., to make a speech of his
own hundreds of miles away.
Bush made no mention of
the evident snub in public, but
not so his aides. “Let’s see
how many people show up in
Palm Beach on 24 hours
notice, versus 8,000 or 9,000
people” expected for the president’s speech, said Karl
Rove, the White House’s top
political strategist.
Some late polls suggested
momentum was swinging the
Republicans’ way, and Ken
Mehlman, the party chairman,
told allies the surveys summoned memories of 1998,
when the GOP lost seats but
held power.
Iraq drafts law to
reinstate Saddam
supporters
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) —
A day after Saddam Hussein
was sentenced to hang, the
country’s Shiite-dominated
government offered a major
concession Monday to his
Sunni backers that could see
thousands of purged Baath
party members reinstated in
their jobs.
With a tight curfew holding
down violence after Saddam’s
guilty verdict and death sentence,
the
government
reached out to disaffected
Sunnis in hopes of enticing
them away from the insurgency, which has killed tens
of thousands of Iraqis and is
responsible for the vast majority of U.S. casualties.
The
U.S.
military
announced the deaths of five
more American troops, two in
a helicopter crash north of
Baghdad and three in fighting
west of the capital. The deaths
raised to 18 the number of
U.S. forces killed in the first
six days of November.
Relentless
sectarian
killings also persisted despite
the extraordinary security precautions, which eased late
Monday. Fifty-nine bodies
were discovered Sunday and
Monday across Iraq, police
officials said.
Nevertheless,
Sunday’s
verdict and Monday’s opening
to the Sunnis were seen as a
welcome break for the United
States, which had recently
called for the Iraqi govern-

ment to stop purging members
of Saddam’s Baath party from
their jobs. Prime Minister
Nouri al-Maliki, however, has
balked at U.S. requests to set
up an amnesty for insurgents.
Cuba’s foreign
minister backs off
HAVANA (AP) — Cuba’s
foreign minister stepped back
Monday from an earlier assertion that Fidel Castro would
return to power in December
and declined to say whether
the ailing Cuban leader would
be well enough to attend next
month’s celebration of his
80th birthday.
Less than two months after
telling The Associated Press
he expected Castro to be fully
back at the helm in early
December, Felipe Perez
Roque said he could not discuss when Castro will return.
“It’s a subject on which I
don’t want to speculate,” the
minister told the AP in an
interview. Castro’s return
“will come when it’s the right
moment.”
Perez Roque said he meets
with Castro frequently and the
Cuban leader is steadily
recovering from his intestinal
surgery.
“He looks good. I see that
his recovery is advancing,” he
said. “We are optimistic, and
happy. The only ones who are
sad are our enemies, who
were all prepared to celebrate
(his death).”
Up until his illness, Castro
was known for micromanaging projects, leading massive
marches along the Malecon
coastal highway and giving
hours-long speeches. Perez
Roque declined to speculate
on whether the Cuban icon
would ever be such an active
leader again.
Fire hits Orlando’s
Gatorland
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) —
A fire early Monday
destroyed a section of
Gatorland, one of Florida’s
oldest tourist attractions, and
killed as many as four pythons
and crocodiles.
The blaze badly damaged
the gift shop, entrance and
ticket booth. The giant concrete gator head that serves as
the main entrance was
charred, its white teeth blackened with soot, its mouth full
of debris.
The park’s alligators were
apparently safe in a lake, but
the fire claimed two 8-foot
pythons kept in a pen near the
gift shop, said Michelle
Harris, a park spokeswoman.
And two 5-foot crocodiles
held in the same pen were
missing and feared dead.
The 110-acre park opened
in 1949 and attracts about
400,000 tourists each year.
The following were
compiled from reports
prepared by the Ukiah
Police Department. To

SHERIFF’S REPORTS
The following were
prepared
by
the
Mendocino
County
Sheriff’s Office:
ARREST -- Zachary
James Raby, 19, of Redwood
Valley, was arrested on suspicion of transportation of marijuana, driving under the influence of alcohol, driving on a
suspended license and violation of probation in the 6000
block of North Highway 101
in Calpella at 11 p.m., Sunday.
According to reports, Raby
was stopped by a Sheriff’s
deputy for speeding and a
records check through the
Department of Motor Vehicles
revealed Raby’s license status
was suspended for a prior DUI
and Raby was on probation
for the DUI.
He was arrested for driving
on a suspended license and for
violation of probation. A
search of his vehicle revealed
just under one pound of suspected processed marijuana.
He was then transported to
the Sheriff’s Office where a
subsequent blood alcohol test
revealed Raby was in violation of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Raby was booked into the
Mendocino County Jail and is
being held without bail due to
the probation violation.

ASK DR. GOTT
By Peter H. Gott, MD
Bowel gangrene
a serious medical
condition
DEAR DR. GOTT: You mentioned gangrene of the
bowel in your column. I had never heard of this until
recently. A friend of mine had a colonoscopy last
September and had no problems detected. However, in
November, she had a severe pain on a Sunday night,
was sent to the emergency room of the hospital and had
her colon removed the next day. Gangrene had started
to occur. Up to this point, she had never had any bowel
problems, so it has been hard to understand why this
problem happened so suddenly. My question is, could
something have happened during the colonoscopy that
she wasn’t told about that might have caused this to
happen?
DEAR READER: One of the most serious consequences -- fortunately rare -- of colonoscopy is bowel
perforation. During the procedure, the instrument
sometimes pokes a hole in the colon that can lead to
serious infection, terminating in gangrene if not treated.
Symptoms ordinarily appear in a matter of hours but
may be masked for several days. A two-month wait
would be virtually impossible. Therefore, I doubt that
the colonoscopy caused the gangrene your friend experienced.
Bowel gangrene is more often the consequence of
colon ischemia, arterial blockage of colonic segments
leading to death of intestinal tissue. In the elderly, sudden or recurring abdominal discomfort must include
bowel gangrene as a possible cause. For this reason,
emergency scanning studies are necessary for diagnosis
and to define the extent of the problem before surgery,
the only life-saving cure.
Abdominal pain in children is commonly caused by
appendicitis. However, in adults, there are many other
causes, ranging from gallbladder disease and peptic
ulcer to bowel ischemia and cancer.
I believe that your friend had appropriate treatment
for her colonic problem, which was not related to her
colon study two months before.
DEAR DR. GOTT: I am in serious need of your
help! I am a 24-year-old female and I am having trouble with my right ear. Every time there is a moderately
loud noise, my ear starts buzzing. The buzzing is getting worse each day, and now, whenever I laugh or even
talk loudly, I have to plug my ear. Even the water hitting my cheek in the shower makes it buzz. I have seen
two ear specialists and have had several hearing tests
only to reveal that I have perfect hearing. One doctor
told me it could possibly be a tumor but not likely. The
buzzing seems to be getting worse and more frequent,
and I am worried about permanent damage. Any suggestions?
DEAR READER: You are suffering from an unusual form of tinnitus (ear noise).
I recommend that you be examined by another earnose-and-throat specialist to discover the cause of your
tinnitus. Additional opinions in situations such as these
are generally extremely valuable.
To give you related information, I am sending you a
copy of my Health Report “Ear Infections and
Disorders.” Other readers who would like a copy
should send a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope

FIRST 5 Mendocino awards $200,000
locally in effort to help overcome
California’s childhood obesity epidemic
26 local organizations to
receive grants for fitness
and nutrition programs
reaching families with
children ages 0 to 5
The Daily Journal
Over the past few years these
fear-filled words have flooded
our ears and eyes warning us
about what is happening to the
health of our children. With a
decrease in physical activity and
an increase in poor eating habits
to blame in the rise of childhood
obesity, parents and caregivers
have the power to turn this
unhealthy trend around. That’s
what FIRST 5 Mendocino had
in mind when it awarded
$200,000 in Nutrition and
Fitness Small Grants funds to
various organizations throughout
Mendocino
County.
According to the North Coast
Nutrition
and
Fitness
Collaborative, 35 percent of
low-income young children in
Mendocino County are overweight.
“By awarding grant money
specifically toward improving
children’s nutrition and physical
fitness, the importance of
addressing these issues is
emphasized,” said Jeremy
Mann, MD, and Commission
Chair. “FIRST 5 Mendocino has
awarded funds to expand local
programs that share the goal of
teaching and encouraging children to learn healthy habits.”
A grant awarded to Safe
Passage Family Resource
Center’s
Breastfeeding
Awareness program in Fort
Bragg will provide breastfeeding support to new mothers.
“Mothers who breastfeed are
paving the way for a healthier
life for themselves and are providing their infants with good
health through nutrition,” said
Richard
Schanler,
M.D.,
researcher at the USDA/ARS
Children’s Nutrition Research
Center. “Breastfeeding should
be portrayed as a natural part of
everyday life.”
Other nutrition programs
focus on eating fresh and
healthy
foods,
such
as
Discovery World Preschool’s
Fit to Grow program, which will
install early learning demonstration gardens in the preschool.
Kids who participate in gardening programs generally develop
a greater interest in science as
well as an interest in the nutrients in fruits and vegetables
grown in the garden, according
to educators responding to a
recent
study
by
Texas
Cooperative Extension.

Letters from our readers In our opinion
Who have we become?
To the Editor:
For the last few years I have been worrying incessantly about the state of our
nation. Whenever I turn on my radio or
read the paper I start to fume with disbelief
at what is going on around us. And lately I
have been seething over the United States
involvement in world affairs and the current administration’s reckless disregard of
the Constitution.
It fills me with boundless anger that we
are going in debt, trillion after trillion,
fighting a war on terror that we cannot win.
Terrorism is a tactic not a nation, person or
thing. You cannot battle it with guns and
bombs because it is not a physical object or
entity. It is an idea. Trying to fight an idea
with violence is like throwing water on a
chemical fire - you just spread it around.
And that is what we are doing in the
Middle East. Through our arrogant violent
actions we are making the case for everything Al Qaeda and other ‘terrorist groups’
say about us. Our government, through its
lies, manipulation and immoral acts exposes to the world the hypocrites that we have
become.
If our government had stayed focused on
the search for Osama Bin Laden after 9/11
and maintained the support of the world
instead of lying to everyone about weapons
of mass destruction and marching into
Baghdad after Sadam, perhaps we could
focus on global warming, the real threat to
the whole world. If we were intent on stopping the genocide in Darfur with all our
might right now, instead of wasting the
lives of our service men and women as
well as innocent civilians by occupying
Iraq, people might take us seriously. If we
were a model for upholding the Geneva
conventions and the rights of prisoners of
war instead of torturing and humiliating
them perhaps the rest of the world wouldn’t think we were a bunch of double-talking, fork tongued, lying, mercenary thieves.
Why don’t we get it that the only way to
stop terrorism is to prove to the world community that we uphold the beliefs we say
we stand for.
For the latest example of hypocrisy, and
no not the Mark Foley story, let us remember the fateful day of October 22, 2006. On
that Tuesday, our Constitution we claim to
hold so dear was torn to pieces when the
president signed the Military Commissions
Act of 2006 (that Congress passed of
course). For those who don’t know what I
am talking about here are Senator
Feingold’s words on the subject according
to CNN.
“It allows the government to seize individuals on American soil and detain them
indefinitely with no opportunity to challenge their detention in court”And the new
law would permit an individual to be convicted on the basis of coerced testimony
and even allow someone convicted under
these rules to be put to death. Do you
understand what that means? Any of us,
any one of us, citizen and non-citizen alike
who is “suspected” of being a terrorist or
conspiring to be or help terrorists could be
swept away and held in a military prison
indefinitely and coerced into testifying
against ourselves. What happened to the
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments? What
happened to the right to a speedy trial with
a jury of my peers? What happened to the
right not to incriminate myself? What happened to the right to privacy and personal
property and innocent until proven guilty?
Has everything that America stands for
been thrown away in order to bring it to
other countries? What kind of free democracy are we offering? What have we done?
Did we just hand G.W. a dictatorship? In
Germany they gave Hitler very similar
powers with the “Enabling Act” that our
Congress has just given to Bush with the
Military Commission Act. How can we
fight terrorism if we are becoming the ones
who terrorize their own people? How could
we convince people to stop attacking us

Water will be key
The recent City Council meeting to discuss use of city water by outlying water districts once again shows the need for a unified look at water in the Valley.
While the current discussion is only about
making emergency water available to
Millview and Willow water districts when
necessary, such an agreement could lead to
city water being used out of the city limits in
the future.
The city would certainly need to be careful about that, but we would not like to see
the city cut off the possibility. There may be
a future city annexation of property or city
support for a development that benefits city
residents in which water may be a positive
bargaining chip for the city.
when we give them every reason to do so?
I challenge us all to take a hard look at the
consequences of our actions. If we do not
cease in our current direction and return to
being real Americans and real patriots who
defend the document that defines who we
are, the constitution, we will become the
evil we are now intending to eliminate.
Look in the mirror America, who have we
become?

also investigating claims that Vroman was
growing marijuana ... Since all of this is
unsubstantiated innuendo and no law
enforcement agency involved admits it
happening, how can the Daily Journal
make these statements? I would ask the
Daily Journal where Ben Brown came by
“facts” for this story? And why is it a headline story?
The only value this story may have is it
may draw a few voters to Ms. Lintott’s
camp. Is it possible that the fear of having
a dead man elected to D.A. in Mendocino
County is so great, our “own” local newspaper has to stoop to yellow journalism in
another attempt to discredit Mr. Vroman? Is
it also possible that, even deceased, Mr.
Vroman would make a better D.A. than
Ms. Lintott?
Robert Kiggins
Ukiah
Editor’s reply: Since we endorsed Mr.
Vroman in this election our purpose would
not be to discredit him now. However, we
wanted to give local law enforcement an
opportunity to respond to allegations being
made in other media and indeed the acting
DA did dispute some of them.
Time for change
To the Editor:
It’s time for the Democrats to stand up
and defend the Constitution and the universal enfranchisement of citizens that ensures
it’s survival. An immediate injunction to
stop the illegal purges, caging lists and other
Republican dirty tricks that are not tricks,
but federal crimes, is crucial. They have
stolen three straight election cycles. If not
now, when? This imperial executive is out
of control, and it’s minions are without scruples.

Water is going to be key to the smart and

Why is this news?

Why is it that a story of innuendo

Attorney, Norm Vroman a front page headline news item? There is no value to this
story. It is based on allegations (by whom?)
that are unsubstantiated by any of the federal agencies purportedly involved, the
DA’s office or Mr. Vroman’s wife. The supposed investigation by federal authorities
was to have taken place shortly before Mr.
Vroman’s death, and the Daily Journal

VIEWPOINTS
THOMAS D. ELIAS
Vote self-interest
Almost no one in California disagrees with the idea
that smaller classes help public school students learn
better. No one thinks it's a good thing that pencils,
notebooks and rulers are in such short supply at many
schools that teachers often reach into their own pockets to get school supplies for students.
Proposition 88 on the ballot today promises to fix
that by raising about $450 million each year in new
money for the schools, allocating $100 million for
instructional materials and $85 million for grants to
help teachers who buy needed items for pupils.
The problem is where the money comes from. For
Proposition 88 seeks to inflict a parcel tax on all of
California, calling for the most regressive type of levy
that's legal in America, one plainly favoring the rich
over everyone else, landlords and businesses over
homeowners.
To raise its money, Proposition 88 would tax every
piece of real estate in California an identical $50 per
year. No matter how noble the cause that money would
fund, nothing changes the fact that a dirt-poor homeowner living in west Oakland or South Central Los
Angeles or rural Trona would pay the same tax each
year as the owners of shopping malls and oil refineries
and gigantic mega-mansions.
Far more cash has been spent backing this proposition than fighting it, and polls show it has a decent
chance of passing. But if voters look out for their self
interest today this plan should go down in flames, a
fate it richly deserves despite the fact that state Schools
Supt. Jack O'Connell calls it "the next step in improving our education system."
Not that voters always look out for their own selfinterest. Often they are bamboozled by big money
campaigns into voting trouble for themselves. One
example was the defeat of Proposition 98, a 1998 ballot initiative aimed at cancelling the electric deregulation scheme passed two years earlier by state legislators and okayed by then-Gov. Pete Wilson.
Big utilities and electricity generators spent about
$89 million to blast this proposition, while supporters
could muster only about $100,000. That was approximately a 1,000-1 spending edge for the no side. The
proposition lost by a wide margin. Voters opposed their
own self-interest, with energy chaos and enduring high
prices the result.
It was the same a few years earlier, when big corporations spent more than $30 million fighting off a
proposition to allow stockholder lawsuits for fraud
when companies made false claims in order to boost
their stock prices and sales.
Now a new election is upon the state and voters
again have the choice of backing their own self-interest or not.
There is Proposition 87, opposed by big oil companies who don't want California to join other states that
charge royalties for oil pumped from beneath their soil.
Example: Every Alaskan gets a yearly stipend, often
amounting to as much as $10,000, from royalties
charged for oil drilling there. Taxes are low in Texas
and Oklahoma because of oil royalties. California gets
not a nickel in similar revenue.
Oil companies say a royalty would increase gasoline prices. Maybe it would, despite a Proposition 87
provision banning any pass-through of the new levy.
But even if the charge were passed through, gasoline
prices are usually based on overall world-wide costs of
oil, not by local charges. Any California levy would be
divided among gasoline users the world over, meaning
that even if prices rose here, it would be only a fraction
of a penny per gallon.
Would it be worth this to fund research aiming to
reduce oil use and make alternative energy vehicles
cheaper and more available to all drivers? If so, this
measure is in the self-interest of most voters, no matter what its opponents say.
Then there's Proposition 90, which would prevent
local and state government from condemning or taking
private property with the intention of eventually turning it over for private uses or projects. But it also
demands compensation when proposed developments
are reduced or eliminated by government action.
One example mentioned in the ballot argument
against this measure notes that when a developer can
prove he planned to build 2,000 homes on a piece of
land, but city or county or state action allowed only
500, that developer must be compensated for the loss
of profit on the 1,500 cancelled homes. This could cost
billions of dollars each year.
Voters here need to balance their fear that their
homes might be taken without adequate compensation
against the likelihood that predatory companies would
buy up California land, announce big plans and then
seek gigantic settlements when their plans inevitably
are scaled back. In most cases, taxpayers would have
to fund those settlements.
In short, it pays to take a close look at every proposition on the ballot and decide the answer to one simple question before casting a vote: Would this help or
hurt me and my family and friends?

HEALTH
Too much choice in health care?
By H.J. CUMMINS
Minneapolis Star Tribune
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -Ah, those simpler days -when folks had only one
“consumer driven health
plan” in their insurance
enrollment packages. Then
there were two: health reimbursement arrangements
(HRAs) and health savings
accounts (HSAs).
Then they started mutating.
Now, as U.S. workers
make their 2007 coverage
choices, some of their packets
offer three, four or more variations just on those new
designs.
Some see it as offering
Americans health plans that
are increasingly fine-tuned to
their needs.
“For people who are new
to this, they’re having some
real opportunities for choice,
and to think about what’s the
right thing for them,” said
Barbara Flitsch, a specialist
in consumer-driven health
plans for the consulting firm
Watson Wyatt.
But it’s a development that
worries some health care
advocates.
“These things are extraordinarily complex, and if
there’s variation within an
employer that only adds to
the intimidation factor,” said
Kip Sullivan, a member of
the steering committee of the
Minnesota Universal Health
Care Coalition.
HRAs and HSAs
There continues to be wide
disagreement on how common these new plans are;
estimates range from 7 to 29
percent of U.S. companies.
There’s even wider disagreement on whether their basic
concept -- that Americans
need to become careful consumers of health care -- will
cut fast-rising health care
costs or just shift more of
them to the workers. HRAs
and HSAs are highdeductible health plans that
start each year with a pot of
money -- something like an
up-front bank account -- that
pays at least part of that
deductible. After the
deductible, health insurance
kicks in, with plans typically
paying 80, 90 or 100 percent
of the rest of the costs that
year. All the plans also set a
cap on how much any
employee could pay out of
pocket in a year.
The two types have some
basic differences.
In HRAs, all the money in
that up-front account comes
from the employer and stays
behind if an employee quits.
In HSAs, both employer
and employee can fund the
account -- but then all the
money belongs to the
employee. Employees take it
with them if they quit.
Allianz Life Insurance
Company of North America,
based in Golden Valley,
Minn., has had an HRA for
three years and added an
HSA for 2006, according to
Heidi Lundgren, director of
compensation and benefits. It
also offers a traditional health
plan called a preferred
provider organization, a PPO,
which charges policyholders
only a small fee when they
get care within a prescribed
network of doctors and other
services.
The HRA is now its most
popular plan, with more than
half of about 1,800 employees enrolled, Lundgren said.
Darryl Chouinard, a vice
president of operations,
moved to the HRA when it
first was offered.
“The money they were
giving me (in the account)
intrigued me,” Chouinard
said. “That was all the carrot
I needed.”
Besides, he was 37, single,
and healthy, so it made sense
to pick a plan that cut his
monthly premiums, even
though it could cost him more
if he became seriously ill.
Chouinard went for the
HSA this year, largely
because he likes the option to
put in extra money of his own
-- pretax, even -- and roll
over any leftovers through the
years to an account he can
use into retirement. The
money also earns interest
along the way.
HRAs can have pharmacy
coverage inside or outside the
plan, and sometime employers let employees choose
between them, she said. If the
pharmacy coverage is outside, it can be set up with a
fixed co-pay throughout the
year, like many traditional
health plans. If it’s inside,
Flitsch said, prescriptions get
paid just like every other
medical bill -- building
toward the deductible until
the insurance kicks in.
Regulations require HSAs
to keep their pharmacy coverage inside the plan, she said.
A plan’s price tag is the
other major variation, said
Stephen Parente, a health care
economist at the University
of Minnesota’s Carlson
School of Management.
Parente’s employer learned
that the hard way. Enrollment
in the new-style plans
dropped from about 1,000 to
300 employees between 2005
Drugs and money
Some of the biggest differences are among drug plans,

Full Service
and 2006 when, among other
things, the university’s contribution to its HRA plans
dropped, he said.
Here’s what happened to
HRA family plans: In 2005,
the university put $1,200 in
the up-front account toward a
$3,000 deductible. In 2006,
the university put $1,000 in
the up-front account toward a
$4,000 deductible. That
means families have to pay
$1,200 more in medical costs
before insurance kicks in.
Also, the insurance coverage
dropped from 100 to 90 percent.
“Clearly there was a price
issue,” Parente said. “I think
the university didn’t expect
the negative response.”
In the details
Some of the terms that
vary in the new plans:
• “Preventive” medications. Recent regulation clarifications by the federal government allow HSAs to cover
medications deemed as preventive care at 100 percent -like other wellness features,
commonly not subject to any
deductible, Flitsch said.
Various plans are starting to
choose which pharmaceuticals they’ll consider preventive -- including possibly
insulin, asthma inhalers and
medication for high blood
pressure -- choices that could
be important to an employee.
• Two kinds of deductibles.
With a simple family
deductible of, say, $4,000,
insurance kicks in when the
family’s total bills top that.
However, some plans add
individual deductibles, which
means insurance doesn’t kick
in for any one family member
until he or she has spent, say,
$1,000 -- even if the family
total is already well over
$4,000.
• Coverage. Especially
with HRAs, it’s important to
check exactly where the upfront money can be spent.
Consultants say some
employers’ plans are broad
enough to cover such things
as dental, orthodontia and
vision -- so employees can
spend according to their particular needs.
• Fees. HSA accounts can
have investment options.
About half of employers pay
the fees associated with that,
according to a Buck
Consultants survey. Vesting
HRAs. The money in these
up-front accounts is not
portable, as it is in HSAs. But
some employers are “vesting”
their employees after, say,
five or 10 years -- keeping
that money in an account for
their use in retirement.
HRAs and HSAs. Firms
with a group of owners -- law
and accounting firms and
medical clinics, for example -
- give the owners HSAs but
give their clerical and other
staff HRAs, finding them
more suitable to high
turnover jobs. Up-front
money. One third of employers put no money in their
employees’ HSA accounts. Of
those that do, the average is
$988 for individuals and
$1,632 for families, according to the Kaiser Family
Foundation, which follows
employer health benefit
trends. Bonuses. Look for
incentives such as an extra
$50 in the up-front account
for taking annual health
assessments, or completing
smoking cessation or weightloss programs. Help in choosing care. In these new plans,
employees are supposed to
become careful health-care
consumers, but some insurers
offer better research resources
than others. Private industry
also is stepping in. For example, the new WebCare
Compare in Minneapolis
charges employers $25 per
year per employee for access
to the cost and quality comparisons on its website,
according to company president Mark Fisher. “That has
been the biggest frustrations
for employees: They don’t
know what their costs will
be,” said James Fries, a benefits consultant in the
Plymouth office of the
Stanton Group. The variety
can be daunting, several consultants said. “Generally
speaking, simple is better in
my view,” Flitsch said. “It’s
all still so new, and people
need a new kind of understanding.” But employers are
open to suggestions, she said.
“We see employers really
tuned into feedback because
there is so much variation,”
Flitsch said. “Some have
even put up blogs, and actually do use any constructive
information the next time
around.”

Warriors 107, Mavericks 104
By JAIME ARON
AP Sports Writer
DALLAS — Don Nelson
made a triumphant return to
Dallas — barely, and in one of
the wild finishes that remind
him how stressful coaching
can be.
Baron Davis scored 26
points and Jason Richardson
added 22, just enough for the
Golden State Warriors to hold
off the Mavericks 107-104 on
Monday night in their new
coach’s return to his old
stomping grounds.
The Warriors led 107-97
with 2:26 left, but didn’t score
again. A 3-pointer and a layup
by Devin Harris, and a jumper
by Dirk Nowitzki got the
Mavericks
close.
Jerry
Stackhouse missed a 3 that
would have tied it with about
5 seconds left and Anthony
Johnson got the rebound. He
passed to Harris, but Harris
passed back to Johnson as
time expired.
Not only did Dallas fail to
get off the final shot, fill-in
coach Del Harris was screaming for a timeout. Official Dan
Crawford apologized afterward, saying he couldn’t hear
it. Nelson smiled, laughed and
gave Harris, one of his best
friends, a pat on the back.
Dallas fell to 0-3 for the
first time since 1993-94 and is
in jeopardy of the first 0-4
start in franchise history, not
exactly the start the club
expected coming off its first
trip to the NBA finals.
The Mavs lost forward Josh
Howard to a sprained left
ankle midway through the
second quarter, then coach
Avery Johnson joined him in
the locker room a few minutes
later after getting ejected for
arguing a non-call. With 3:05
left in the game, Jason Terry
was ejected for a hard takedown of Golden State’s Monta
Ellis.
Nowitzki led Dallas with
26 points. Harris scored 17 in
his first start this season and
Terry had 15 after scoring
only one the previous game.
Troy Murphy scored 20
points for Golden State, which
has beaten the Mavericks four
straight overall and four in a
row in Dallas. The Warriors
were the only team that beat
the Mavs three times last season.
Before the game, Nelson
received a loud cheer from the
crowd and even polite
applause from Mavericks

Fading UCLA hopes
to salvage a bowl bid
By KEN PETERS
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES — The UCLA
Bruins’ goals for this season have
been diminishing by the week. Now
they hope they can regroup and finish
strongly enough to salvage a bowl
bid.
The Bruins are mired in a fourgame losing streak and they face
more tough tests in their final three
games — against Oregon State this
weekend, then Arizona State and No.
7 USC after that.
“We know the position we’re in, or
lack thereof, in terms of the conference race,” UCLA coach Karl Dorrell
said Monday. “But I’m optimistic
because of how their (the Bruins’)
attitude is getting better.”
Asked if it would be considered a
disaster if the Bruins don’t become
eligible for a bowl, Dorrell said it
would be a tremendous disappointment.
“That’s really our focus right now
as a team, getting ourselves in that
position,” he said. “That starts with
this week.”
The Bruins (4-5, 2-4 Pac-10) need
to win two of their final three to
become bowl-eligible.
In the meantime, Dorrell said, “I’m
just so focused on a win this week.”
Coming off a 38-24 loss to No. 8
California, things don’t necessarily
get any easier for the Bruins on
Saturday. Oregon State (6-3, 4-2) has
won four straight, including a 33-31
upset of USC on Oct. 28.
The Bruins’ offense was productive, at least in rolling up yards,
against the Golden Bears, with
Patrick Cowan passing for 329 yards
and running for a touchdown. UCLA
outgained Cal 516-433, but mistakes
— and the inability to score a couple
of times in the red zone — cost the
Bruins.
Defensively, the Bruins weren’t
effective, and the coach mentioned,
among other things, missed tackles.
He also pointed to blown coverage
that allowed the Bears to score on a
long touchdown pass, and a special
teams breakdown that resulted in a
Cal punt return for a score that essentially put the game out of reach.
“We did play hard. We did not play
smart at times, which seems to be an
issue that’s plaguing us this season,”
Dorrell said. “We need to be more
disciplined and we need more consistency.
Redshirt sophomore quarterback
Ben Olson, who began this season as
the starter then went out in the fifth
game with a knee injury, was cleared
to ease back into practice this week.
Dorrell noted that Olson hasn’t practiced for a long time and that he doesn’t expect him to play this weekend.
Having lost to Oregon, Notre
Dame and California in recent weeks,
Dorrell was asked which of the three
he thought was the toughest. The
Bruins’ crosstown rival, USC, faces
the same three teams before meeting
UCLA in Pasadena on Dec. 2.
“I think Cal,” Dorrell said. “No
disrespect to the other two schools.
Cal is playing as a great team right
now, really good defense, their quarterback is not making any mistakes,
they’ve got good runners, good
receivers.”
SEATTLE — Craig Terrill
and the Seattle Seahawks
delivered the kind of defensive performance they needed
with Shaun Alexander and
Matt Hasselbeck on the sideline with injuries.
Facing
the
Oakland
Raiders on a stormy night
sure helped the cause.
Terrill had three of
Seattle’s nine sacks and
Seneca Wallace threw a
touchdown pass to get his
first win as an NFL starter, a
16-0 victory over the Raiders
on Monday night.
The Seahawks (5-3) had
lost three of four games since
Alexander, last year’s league
MVP, was sidelined with a
broken foot. Hasselbeck, a
Pro Bowl quarterback last
year, has missed two straight
games with a sprained knee
ligament, limiting Seattle’s
big-strike ability.
But backups Wallace and
Maurice Morris did enough to
make up for those losses on
this night. Wallace went 18of-30 for 176 yards, including
a 22-yard TD pass to Deion
Branch in the first quarter,
against the Raiders (2-6).
Morris ran for a careerhigh 138 yards on 30 carries
as the Seahawks had a season-high 207 yards on the
ground.
While the backups stepped
up to help give the defending
NFC champion Seahawks a
one-game lead over St. Louis
in the NFC West, it was the
improvement on defense that
was most notable.
Seattle had allowed at least
28 points in five successive
games for the first time since
its first five games in existence in 1976, and held the
opposition scoreless in only
one of the previous 17 quarters.
But the Seahawks had little
trouble
shutting
down
Oakland’s last-ranked offense
on a wet and windy night that
made it difficult for the
offenses. The Raiders gained
only 185 yards and failed to
score an offensive touchdown
for the fifth time in eight
games this season.
Andrew Walter was 16-of35 for 166 yards and couldn’t
get the ball deep to Randy
Moss against a defense that
had been susceptible to the
long pass.
Seattle sacked Walter five
times in the first quarter,
including on three successive

Texas Rangers hire Washington as manager
By STEPHEN HAWKINS
AP Sports Writer
ARLINGTON, Texas —
Ron Washington has always
been a popular coach with
players, stressing communication and letting them be themselves.
Now he will get his chance
as a manager with the Texas
Rangers, who wanted and
needed somebody with those
characteristics.
“I’m going to be a players’
manager. My job is solely to
make sure that every player on
the Texas Rangers feels like
they are part of everything
going on here,” Washington
said Monday night, when he
was introduced at a news con-
ference. “As a manager, I’m
no good if the players don’t
get it done. If the players get it
done, I’m great.”
When Buck Showalter was
fired after an 80-82 season
with three years left on his
contract, general manager Jon
Daniels said the Rangers
needed a “different perspective.”
That’s exactly what they
get with Washington, a coach
for the Oakland Athletics the
past 11 seasons. His two-year
contract with Texas includes
two additional option years.
“Keep it simple stupid,
that’s my motto,” he said.
“The way you do that, you
make sure you’re prepared in
the fundamental areas of baseball and let the talents take
over.”
Chosen over four other
candidates
to
replace
Showalter, the 54-year-old
Washington inherits a team
that has had only one winning
season since last making the
playoffs in 1999. He is the
Rangers’ 17th full-time manager and first black manager.
Daniels wanted to hire a
winner, an optimist and a
communicator.
“Work ethic, professionalism, respect of the game,”
Daniels said. “I didn’t think
we were going to find all of
those characteristics in one
person. (Washington) proved
me wrong.”
Showalter was known for
his hands-on approach that led
to some discord in the clubhouse between some players
and the manager. He was 319329 in four seasons, and the
Rangers never finished higher
than third in the AL West
under him.
The New York Yankees and
Arizona Diamondbacks both
won the World Series the year
after Showalter left them.
Washington also was a candidate in Oakland to replace
fired A’s manager Ken Macha.
Washington first interviewed
with Texas last month and met
with Hicks, Daniels and other
Rangers officials during
another interview Sunday.
“Good baseball people, you
know when you are around
one,” Washington said. “I just
know I’m a good baseball
man.”
Instead of waiting until late
Monday to meet and pick their
new manager, Hicks and
Daniels realized after their
three-hour session Sunday
with Washington that he was
their mutual top choice.
“I kind of grabbed J.D. to
the side, this guy is fantastic,”
Hicks said.
Washington takes over a

49ers keeping it simple

SANTA CLARA —
Coach Mike Nolan gave
the day off to the San
Francisco 49ers on
Monday — which meant a
nice three-day weekend
for an offense that managed just 133 yards and
no touchdowns Sunday.
Yet the 49ers still could
relax on their vacation
because the defense

carrying the Niners (3-5)
to a 9-3 victory on three
field goals by Joe Nedney.
The result contradicted

Washington played in 564
major league games over parts
of 10 seasons for five teams
(the Los Angeles Dodgers,
Minnesota,
Baltimore,
Cleveland and Houston).
But his only managerial
experience was two years in
Class-A in the New York Mets
organization before his 11 seasons as Oakland’s infield
instructor and third-base
coach.
“He’s been through it as a
player, he’s been through it as
Warriors
owner Mark Cuban, whom
Nelson is taking legal action
against to collect $6 million
he says he was promised by
the team’s previous owners.
Nelson returned on the perfect night as the club unveiled
a banner honoring its 2005-06
Western Conference championship, a feat set in motion
when he took over the club as
general manager in the late
1990s. He wasn’t part of the
brief ceremony, but felt like it,
saying before the game it was
the best years of his career
a coach. He knows how to
win,” Teixeira said after
attending Washington’s news
conference. “He said everything that a player wants to
hear. He said everything that
an owner and a GM wants to
hear. He’s all about winning.
He’s a baseball guy that wants
to win.”
Washington was popular
with Oakland players, many
of whom wanted him to be
their new manager. He was
instrumental in the development of six-time Gold Glove
third baseman Eric Chavez
and making the A’s consistently one of the AL’s top fielding
teams.
Two years ago, Chavez
gave Washington one of his
Gold Glove trophies with the
inscription, “Wash, not without you.”
“Ron is a good baseball
man who has been an integral
part of our success,” A’s GM
Billy Beane said. “We’ll miss
him, but this opportunity is
very well deserved.”
The other finalists for the
Texas managerial job were
Rangers bench coach Don
Wakamatsu and Japan Serieswinning
manager
Trey
Hillman, an Arlington native
and the Rangers’ former director of player development.
Both interviewed with Daniels
and Hicks last week.
Wakamatsu has been with
the Rangers four seasons and
still has a year left on his contract. Daniels has spoken with
him about remaining on staff,
though it might be in a different role.
Washington plans to interview Philadelphia third-base
coach Art Howe, one of his
former major league managers, about being his bench
coach.
“because we went from the
worst to the best.”
Nowitzki gave Nelson a big
hug before tipoff, then before
halftime Nelson found himself coaching against one of
his best friends, Harris. It was
their first time matching wits
since February 1999.
Johnson was tossed with
about four minutes left in the
second quarter following a
non-call when Terry missed a
layup and wound up sprawled
on the floor. He got one technical for saying, “That’s bull,”
then another — and an automatic ejection — for griping
about getting a technical. His
harshest words followed as he
made his way to the locker
room.
Notes: Nelson and Harris
last coached against each
other when Nelson was with
the Mavs and Harris was running the Lakers. Los Angeles
won 101-88. ... Nelson had his
fourth different starting lineup
in as many games. In this one,
Mike Dunleavy Jr. didn’t start
for the first time. ... Harris
replaced Greg Buckner in
Dallas’ starting lineup, but
Buckner started the second
half in Howard’s place. ... The
curtain covering the Western
Conference champion banner
got stuck about halfway up. A
worker had to walk across a
catwalk and give it a stiff tug
to free the snag.
Wakamatsu is a candidate
for the A’s job, and the
Rangers had given Oakland
permission to speak with
Wakamatsu if he wasn’t their
choice as manager.
New York Mets third base
coach Manny Acta and
Phillies minor league manager
John Russell, a former
Rangers catcher who caught
one of Nolan Ryan’s seven nohitters, also interviewed but
didn’t meet with Hicks.

four more in the game, raising
Oakland’s NFL worst total to
44 on the season.
The Raiders had won two
straight after dropping the
first five games of the season
but once again proved not to
be ready for prime time. They
became the first team to be
shut out twice in a season on
Monday night football, following a 27-0 season-opening

been outscored 53-3 in three

The frustration showed at
the end when defensive lineman Tyler Brayton was ejected in the final minutes for
kneeing Seattle tight end
Jerramy Stevens in the groin.
Oakland’s offensive line
was once again overmatched

World War II aircraft carrier gets stuck in the mud
By PAT MILTON
Associated Press
NEW YORK — The USS
Intrepid, the aircraft carrier that survived World War II bomb and
kamikaze attacks, got stuck in the
mud in the Hudson River on Monday
as tugboats tried to pull it from its
berth.
The ship — a huge floating military museum that draws hundreds of
thousands of tourists a year — was
supposed to be towed across the river
to a dry dock in Bayonne, N.J., for a
$60 million renovation.
Six tugs pulled with a combined
30,000 horsepower but moved the
Intrepid only about 15 feet. Not even
an unusually high tide could free the
27,000-ton, 872-foot-long ship from
the ooze.
“We had the sun, the moon and the
stars in alignment, and it was just a
very disappointing day for us,” said
Bill White, president of the Intrepid
Sea, Air & Space Museum.
White said he was unsure whether
officials would try again to move the
ship, or refurbish the carrier where it
sits. The ship was not blocking the
Hudson’s busy shipping lanes.
The next high tide is Dec. 6, but
that will be about a foot lower than
Monday’s, White said.
“We were able to move her 15
feet, and then she came to a halt. We
tried to add more power with another tugboat but we couldn’t wiggle
her free,” said Jeffrey McAllister, the
ELECTION 2006
Political parties
spend $225 million
on targeted races
By JIM KUHNHENN
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON
—
National committees for the
Republicans and Democrats
have spent about $225 million
for or against candidates, concentrating their resources in
10 Senate races and 66 House
contests that could determine
who controls Congress.
The data is based on a
review of independent spending reports filed with the
Federal Election Commission
as of Monday. Republicans
spent about $81 million in 53
congressional districts, mostly
on television advertising
opposing Democratic challengers. Democrats spent $64
million in 56 congressional
districts, most of them represented by a Republican.
In Senate contests, the
Democratic
Senatorial
Campaign Committee has
trained its sights on seats currently held by Republicans in
Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee,
Virginia, Rhode Island,
Montana
and
Arizona.
Republicans are aiming for
three Democratic-held seats in
New Jersey, Maryland and
Michigan.
The parties have spent little
or no money in Pennsylvania,
where Republican Sen. Rick
Santorum
has
trailed
Democrat Bob Casey Jr., for
months.
The spending data illustrates the difficulties facing
Republicans in this elections,
where they have been forced
to defend seats instead of
aggressively seeking to defeat
incumbent
Democrats.
Midterm elections in secondterm presidencies are notoriously harsh on the ruling
party. For Republicans, growing public antipathy toward
the war in Iraq has made their
hold on Congress even more
tenuous.
Democrats need a net gain
of 15 seats in the House and
six seats in the Senate to capture control of Congress. The
last time Democrats had
majorities in both chambers
was 1994.
The spending for House
seats has been mostly concentrated in the Ohio Valley. Ten
Republicans are vulnerable in
Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky.
Another 10 are fending off
strong
challenges
in
Pennsylvania and New York.
Many independent groups,
including labor, business and
ideological organizations, are
spending in some of the same
contests that have attracted
party money. The Missouri
Senate race between incumbent Sen. Jim Talent and
Democrat Claire McCaskill
has attracted the most money,
with parties and independent
groups spending more than
$20 million in the state.
The House race that has
seen the most spending is a
rematch
between
Pennsylvania
Republican
incumbent Jim Gerlach and
Democrat Lois Murphy. Their
district sits in southeastern
Pennsylvania, nestled in the
hills that run from the outer
Philadelphia suburbs to the
old industrial city of Reading.
The National Republican
Congressional Committee has
spent $3.9 million, mostly in
ads against Murphy, and the
Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee has
spent $3 million against
Gerlach.
chief pilot of the tugboat operation.
The Intrepid has been moored at a
pier on Manhattan’s West Side for 24
years, during which time silt accumulated as deep as 17 feet around its
keel. The decommissioned ship no
longer has engines, but it does still
have its four propellers, each about
15 feet across, and they got stuck in
the mud.
Crews had removed 600 tons of
water from the Intrepid’s ballast
tanks to give the ship added buoyancy, and dredges removed 15,000
cubic yards of mud to create a channel from dockside to deeper water.
Elected officials, veterans who
served on the Intrepid and others had
waited on the flight deck for the
beginning of the five-mile journey
down the river. Helicopters flew
overhead; New York Police
Department blue-and-white power
boats, Fire Department boats and a
Coast Guard cutter were on hand to
accompany the aircraft carrier.
The final mooring lines were cast
off at the order of 80-year-old retired
Rear Adm. J. Lloyd “Doc” Abbot Jr.,
who served two years as the
Intrepid’s skipper in 1960-62 and
was named honorary commander for
the day.
“It was the best job I ever had,”
Abbot said, standing once again on
the ship’s deck. “Intrepid had a soul
of her own. How can a hunk of iron
have a soul, you may ask. But I loved
her. She kept me safe and at times I
kept her safe.”
The Intrepid, launched in 1943,
helped bring about the naval defeat
of Japan. It suffered seven bomb
attacks, five kamikaze strikes and
one torpedo hit, losing 270 crewmen.
It also served during the Korean
and Vietnam wars and was used to
recover Mercury and Gemini astronauts after their space capsules
splashed down at sea. The FBI used
it as an operation center after the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Supreme Court considers if man
jailed 8 years can sue for false arrest
By MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Andre
Wallace faces the distinct possibility that the legal system
that wrongly kept him in jail
for a third of his life will now
tell him he waited too long to
seek compensation.
Several Supreme Court justices indicated Monday they
are inclined to agree with
lower court rulings that
Wallace missed a deadline by
waiting until 2003 to sue the
Chicago police officers who
arrested him illegally in 1994.
Wallace was freed from
prison in 2002, after Illinois
courts ruled his arrest was illegal, reversed his murder conviction and caused prosecutors to drop charges against
him. He had been in custody
since shortly after John Handy
was shot to death in 1994,
when Wallace was 15.
He had two years in which
to file his civil rights lawsuit.
The question before the justices is whether the two-year
clock began running when
Wallace was arrested in 1994,
when he was released from
custody in 2002, or at some
point in between.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals said Wallace
should have taken some action
in the two years following his
arrest. In similar cases in other
parts of the country, appeals
courts have said false arrest
claims can’t be filed until convictions are nullified.
Kenneth
Flaxman,
Wallace’s lawyer, said the
court would compound his
client’s injury by telling him
the deadline, or statute of limitations, had expired. “It’s just
tough. You’re seized for 8 1/2
years and you can’t go to state
court and you can’t go to federal court,” Flaxman said.
The Supreme Court is a
stickler for deadlines and several justices said the claim
should have been filed closer
to the arrest.
The deadline serves several
interests, including peace of
mind of the police officers
who otherwise would not
know for years if they would
be sued, Chief Justice John
Roberts said.
Chicago police officers
Kristen Kato and Eugene Roy
brought Wallace in for questioning in Handy’s death in
January 1994. In the course of
an interrogation that went
through the night, Wallace
said he was subjected to a
“good cop/bad cop” routine
that included being slapped
and kicked. In the officers’
account, Wallace was free to

Eventually, Wallace confessed. He tried and failed to
have his statements thrown
out on the grounds that he was
arrested without probable
cause and that his confession
was coerced.
He was convicted of first
degree-murder in 1996 after a
trial in which Wallace claimed
he shot Handy in self defense
or, alternatively, in mutual
combat, attorneys for the officers argued in court papers.
Wallace appealed the conviction. The Illinois Appellate
Court eventually threw out the
confession because it was the
product of an arrest made
without probable cause.
Prosecutors at that point
decided not to try Wallace
again, but would reinstate the
murder
charge
against
Wallace if they get additional
evidence, the officers’ lawyers
said.
A ruling is expected before
July.

Don’t let headaches take over Trials will test
By FAITH DAWSON
Cox News Service
See a doctor if you have
ATLANTA -- Traffic, mortgages, inlaws -- there’s an opportunity for a
headache almost every hour. You can’t
get away from them. So when headaches
strike, you should reach for a bottle of
pain reliever, right?
Not so fast. Aspirin or other drugs can
help many headaches, but if you’re not
getting relief, you could have more than
just stress- or tension-causing elements in
your life. You might have a sinus problem
or a food allergy. Your headache could
even be hereditary.
Kim Carothers, 40, suffered from
headaches so bad that she had to be hospitalized several times a year. Doctors
suspected they might be menstrual side
effects, but Carothers’ high-stress, dailytravel, tech-sales job kept her so busy that
she says she couldn’t find the time to take
doctors’ advice. Besides, she didn’t want
to rely on drugs. “I was always scared I’d
get immune to the medication or I’d
become addicted,” she says.
Carothers began seeing a neurologist,
who helped her find the right kind of prescription medication, and she quit her
tech job in 2002. She hasn’t been hospitalized for headaches in almost a year.
If you have an unusual headache, you
should consult a doctor. If the headaches
are frequent or severe, you should consider keeping a journal of when they
strike and how they feel.
“It’s worthwhile documenting their
headaches with a diary so that they can
see if there’s some consistent pattern that
brings on a headache,” says Dr. Leslie
Kelman, a neurologist and director of the
Headache Center of Atlanta. “This can be
helpful not only to them ? [but also] for
the doctor.”
• frequent or severe headaches
• a new type of headache that you’ve
never felt before
• a headache that keeps getting worse
• the worst headache you have ever
experienced
• a headache that develops suddenly
• headaches brought on by coughing,
sneezing or exertion
Doctors also should know about
headaches that . . .
• accompany a history of head or neck
injuries
• are accompanied by other unexplained symptoms, such as fever or
weight loss
• are one-sided
• wake you up
• change when you stand up or sit

Peer support
for mental health
recovery to be
discussed
Wednesday
How can mental health
clients and others recovering
from severe emotional distress
help each other recover? How
can systems best help support
mental health recovery? What
is the role of client-operated
programs providing mutual
support for mental health
recovery? What are the learning curves facing state and
local public agencies as they
shift toward a recovery orientation in mental health services?
These and other topics will
frame an informal discussion
this Wednesday evening, in
Ukiah with Dave Hosseini,
the former director of the nonprofit,
Sacramento-based,
Consumer Self-Help where he
supervised the local Patient
Rights program for 9 years.
Mr. Hosseini also served as
Public Policy Advocate for the
California Association of
Social
Rehabilitation
Agencies, where he advocated
with state legislative leaders
for reforms in oversight and
services for people disabled
with mental illness.
The discussion will be held

For many people, an over-the-counter
cure is the fastest and easiest way to
relieve a headache. If you plan to take a
medicine such as aspirin or ibuprofen,
take the recommended dosage as quickly
as possible so that your headache doesn’t
linger. Over-the-counter medicines are
generally useful for most everyday
headaches, says J.D. Bartleson, an associate professor of neurology at the Mayo
Clinic College of Medicine, so experiment until you find one that works for
you. Otherwise, try one of these cures
beyond the bottle:
• Rest or sleep in a quiet, darkened
room.
• Place a cold compress on your forehead.

Common causes of headaches include:
• Stress

• Dab peppermint oil on your temples.
It’s said to relieve tension headaches.
• Drink a caffeinated beverage.
Caffeine reduces swelling of the blood
vessels in the head. But it can also keep
you awake at night, so use caution.
Many foods contain compounds that
cause headaches. Some people may be
sensitive or allergic to these. Some
known headache offenders:
• Ripened cheeses such as cheddar,
Stilton, Brie and Camembert
• Chocolate
• Fermented or pickled foods
• Sour cream
• Nuts and peanut butter
• Broad beans, lima beans, fava beans
and snow peas
• Foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG) such as soy sauce, meat tenderizers and seasoned salt
• Excessive amounts of tea, coffee or

WEST PALM BEACH,
Fla. -- The Alzheimer’s
Disease Cooperative Study
(ADCS), a federally established consortium conducting clinical trials on
Alzheimer’s disease, will
receive $52 million over six
years to conduct several new
trials, the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) announced.
The award is a cooperative
agreement between the
NIH’s National Institute on
Aging (NIA) and the
University of California,
San Diego (UCSD), which
coordinates the consortium
of nearly 70 sites in the
United States and Canada.
The purpose of the award
is to test drugs for effectiveness in slowing down the
progression or treating the
symptoms of AD, as well as
to investigate new methods
for conducting dementia
research. Researchers will
focus on possible therapies
aimed at affecting the beta
amyloid peptide and the tau
protein, both involved in the
development of AD.
These projects join ongoing ADCS trials testing
whether statins and highdose folate/B6/B12 supplements can slow the clinical
signs of AD, as well as a
study of valproate to determine whether this drug can
either slow decline or help
delay the agitation and psychosis that often emerge in
AD patients.
Alzheimer’s
disease
affects an estimated 4.5 million people in the U.S. It
increases dramatically with
age, affecting approximately
40-50 percent of people age
85 and older.
NIA

class props such as blankets,

are used to bring you into a
sequence of supported poses
that are held for several minutes at a time. Most of us have
very busy lives and may experience some level of chronic
stress. Learning the relaxing
techniques of restorative yoga
is beneficial for many reasons
including relieving chronic
stress. When the body is supported in a pose, the muscles
begin to lengthen and expand,
and the mind and the breath
become quiet, all responses
that are known to help allevi-
ate stress. These gentle, therapeutic restorative classes can
be deeply rejuvenating and

Web the best place for
credited to cosmetic surgery exploring medical options
These are lips done for
women 35-64 who have the
procedure to “restore, not to
over-fill” aging lips. Truth be
told, lips thin with age and can
make you look older, hence
the interest among some
women.
Among men? Statistics for
2005 show the top five cosmetic surgical procedures for
men declined from 2000.
Those operations dropping in
popularity included liposuction, breast reduction, and hair
restoration.
Among women, only three
of the top five procedures
declined, but breast augmentations and tummy tucks took
off. Way off. Tummy tucks
were up 113 percent.
Botox, however -- which
temporarily freezes facial
muscles and removes lines -was wildly popular among
both sexes, increasing triple
digits for both men and
women over the past five
years.
Ditto, for laser hair
removal, which -- to be fair -saw a much more modest
increase among men. Still, the
guys were going for it.

sidered the acceptable solution if someone is looking better with age, and that women
are particularly vulnerable to
those assumptions. Did anyone ever accuse Bill Clinton
of having a face-lift while he
was running for office, or
John McCain of having a little
work done after being a POW
in Vietnam? (That could shoot
your looks down, certainly.)
Both men, while looking
their age during their last runs
for office, were considered
appealing to women voters, as
is. Maybe one of them did
have a little Botox here or
there to soften those masculine facial lines, but no one
even considered that possibility. Or dared to ask.
Why are these assumptions
made so freely with women?
Statistics may play a part here,
particularly the popularity of
certain facial procedures
among females.
The American Society of
Plastic Surgeons recently
released data showing that lip
augmentation
procedures
have increased over the years
and are up nearly 40 percent
since 2000.
And, say the surgeons,
these are not just procedures
done for women who want the

WEST PALM BEACH,
Fla. -- Why do people believe
that women who age gracefully must have had plastic
surgery?
If her eyelids aren't drooping, and her lips are still kissable, and she looks good for
her age, the assumption is the
woman must have gone under
the knife.
That's certainly the nicest
thing that can be said about
the scurrilous remarks attributed to John Spencer, the
Republican who is challenging Sen. Hillary Rodham
Clinton (D-N.Y.) for her seat.
The Daily News reported
recently that Spencer claimed
that Clinton had undergone
extensive plastic surgery to
make her look pretty.
The follow-up was that
Spencer called the accusations
that he spoke that way a
“complete fabrication” and
said he merely was pointing
out how different she looked
from her high school photo, or
something.
OK. Who among us hasn't
changed a hairdo or glasses or
gained or lost pounds since
high school or college?

The Internet can provide information on
almost any topic imaginable. According to
AARP, the Web is “recognized as the central
tool in today's information age.”
A recent study by the Kaiser Foundation,
however, indicated that today's seniors are
resisting this technology. It found that fewer
than 31 percent of people older than 65 had
ventured out on the Web. This is disconcerting
because as people are being called upon to take
more control over their health care decisions
and become more knowledgeable about medical options, the Internet is a critical tool.
Part of the problem is that some Web sites
are not easily accessible. The trick is to find
sites that are easy to navigate, which will lead
to collecting useful information. Just as it was
challenging to learn to drive or to take up a
new sport, becoming computer literate should
merely be considered a new skill to master.
It is never too late, and the rewards can be
great. As you surf the Web you will soon be
able to distinguish between a user- friendly site
and one that makes you work too hard to
obtain the desired information.
The home page should contain a link entitled “about us.” Go there for an overview of
the site, including the sources and credentials
of those who own or sponsor it. User- friendly
sites will have bold headings in the navigation
bar that help guide you to the material you are
looking for. It should also have pages that contain bright and contrasting colors, recognizable
symbols, simple graphics and bullet points to
break up long pieces of text into bite-sized
pieces.
Here are some user-friendly Web sites for
your perusal.
If you are unfamiliar with computers, go to
http://www.aarp.org and type in “understanding computer basics” in the search box for
lessons on understanding common terms, navigating sites and finding topics.
Try http://www.nihseniorhealth.gov, an
excellent site developed by the National
Institute on Aging and the National Library of
Medicine. It offers an easily navigated presentation on various diseases and health related
issues.
The user may choose different text sizes and
types of contrast.
One site, http://www.Generationsonline.org,
provides specially programmed software to
senior centers, libraries, and various locations
where older people congregate. Its mission is
to promote Internet literacy to enhance the
quality of life for seniors.

HIS HEIGHT
Husband is confused over wife’s utter neglect
Dear Annie: My wife, “Lena,” and I recently separated after almost 15 years of marriage
and two wonderful sons. Like any marriage,
we have had our ups and downs. I love her with
all my heart and soul. Needless to say, I was
floored when Lena told me she could no longer
live with me.
I put aside any ego and feelings of anger,
and we came to amicable terms for a separation
agreement. Since Lena had been a stay-athome mom since our children were born, I told
her I was willing to take custody of our boys
while she got her new business off the ground.
Three days after we separated, Lena started
seeing the father of a boy on my sons’ soccer
team. Everyone, including my sons, could see
what was happening. It made the whole situation very awkward. A month later, she moved
into the boyfriend’s home. She has seen our
boys only four times, and each time has been
met with some type of drama. She did not call
or write either child on his birthday. In fact, she

treats her boyfriend’s son better than her own.
This is smashing my broken heart to pieces.
I still love Lena and know there is a good person inside her, but I can’t understand how she
could do this to her own children. Per the separation agreement, Lena has the boys one
weekend a month, but they don’t want to see
her or spend time with her. I would never keep
them from her, but I also don’t want to force
them to go.
Lena used to be Mom of the Century. Now,
it’s like she died. Am I obligated to make the
boys spend one weekend a month with her,
knowing they will be at “his” house? -- Three
Broken Hearts in Virginia

Dear Virginia: Probably, so your best bet is
to make this a less negative experience for your
sons. They are angry with their mother, and she
is so wrapped up in herself and her new
boyfriend that she is neglectful. Still, it’s best
for them if Lena stays involved in their lives,
even a little. Get some counseling for your
boys and for yourself so all of you can deal
with this mess in the healthiest way possible.
Dear Annie: My parents married in 1969,
had three kids, and divorced in 1991. They
later remarried in 1994 and have been happy
ever since.
My question is, which anniversary should
we celebrate? Can we celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in 2009? I’m a huge fan of
parties and would love to throw them a surprise
40th. -- Don’t Have a Clue What To Do
Dear Don’t Have a Clue: This is entirely
between you and your parents. Which anniversary do they consider themselves to be celebrating? That’s the number you should follow,
even if it means celebrating their 15th instead.
Dear Annie: Please print this to remind
people to be kind to others. My sister passed
away three months ago at age 50. She suffered
from Crohn’s disease for 27 years without
complaint. What did bother her were people
who made her the target of thoughtlessness.
Yes, my sister was thin from illness, not
from anorexia. For the lady who suggested she
add a few more items to her grocery cart, she
would have loved to do so had her body
allowed a diet without boundaries. A hospital
staff member said, “My you are a little one!”
Do you think that made her feel better?
The next time you feel like asking a stranger
to turn sideways to see if she’ll disappear,
please think first. My sister would never have
gone up to a stranger and said, “My, it looks
like you’ve put on a few pounds.” -- Grieving
in Appleton, Wis.
Dear Grieving: We are so sorry for your
loss. People don’t mean to be cruel, and we
hope you can forgive them for their thoughtlessness. Please consider some short-term grief
counseling to help you let go of your anger.

Hello I am J.J.
I am a 9 week old
female pit-bull mix
puppy.
My
low
adoption fee includes: my vaccinations are up to date.
I am spayed and I
have a microchip.
What a deal! One
you can only find at
our local shelter,
298 Plant Road,
Ukiah. Come on by
or call 467-6453
HI!
I’m your basic very
sweet female brown
dog.
I was bebopping on
Low Gap Rd. 2 miles
west of the high
school, styling in my
pur ple puppie harness on Sat. 10/28 at
8 a.m. and was taken
to the shelter. I weigh
in at 37 lbs.
Do you belong to
me? If so come get

am surrounded by
other lost dog friends.
You can also call the

to separate homes as
well. Our home for
now is at the Ukiah
shelter. Low adoption

Yosemite makeover put on hold over concerns for scenic river
By GARANCE BURKE
Associated Press Writer
FRESNO — Ambitious
plans to remodel lodging,
move a road and expand
campsites
in
Yosemite
National Park are on hold
until officials prepare a better
plan to protect the Merced
River, which runs through the
heart of the park, a judge
ruled.
Two conservation groups
celebrated Friday’s ruling,
which effectively halts about
$60 million in construction
projects for at least two years,
as a major environmental victory.
Yosemite officials, still
reeling from the decision, said
it could have “huge negative
impacts” on the park’s efforts
to accommodate the 3 million
visitors who travel there each
year.
“The fact that now we can’t
House
“It’s going to allow me to
do more on that committee,”
Thompson said. “I’ve been
very, very active in the area of
health care, especially as it
pertains to rural areas. I’ll be
able to do more and have
greater success in getting
improvements to rural health
care.”
According to Thompson,
doctors are scheduled to take a
reduction in Medicare reimbursement rates that are
already low, something he is
planning to fight.
“It’s hurting us everywhere, but even more so in
rural areas. We’ll be able to
address that issue,” Thompson
said.
Fiscally, the nation’s $300
billion deficit and national
debt of $8.5 trillion can be
addressed by imposing a payas-you-go rule that would
require Congress to fund the
bills it passes rather than leave
them for future generations,
Thompson said.
“This Congress has been
spending money like the
proverbial drunken sailor,” he
said of the current leadership.
To
take
majority,
Democrats need to gain at
repave a road, with winter
coming on, is just devastating,” said Scott Gediman, a
park spokesman. “Sure you
can argue about campgrounds
or building the lodge, but what
about when you’ve got paving
on a road that’s literally
falling apart?”
The order, issued in a U.S.
District Court in Fresno,
directs the park service to
immediately stop nine projects included in the Yosemite
Valley Plan, a grand scheme to
develop the park’s amenities
that has been the subject of a
lengthy legal battle.
While the case likely will
be appealed, legal scholars
said it was not surprising that
part of the park’s $442 million
remodeling effort now figured
in a lawsuit.
“Anything that’s done in a
national parks system, particularly those that are beloved
and heavily visited, is likely to
be challenged by some group
of stakeholders,” said Richard
Frank, an environmental law
professor at the University of
California, Berkeley’s Boalt
Hall School of Law. “We’re
seeing more litigation of this
kind than ever before.”
Under the Wild and Scenic
River Act, the park is required
to have a plan to regulate
development near the banks of
the Merced, whose tributaries
course through many of the
Valley’s cherished sites. A
creek borne of the river, for
instance,
rushes
over
Yosemite Falls, the tallest
waterfall in North America.
The river became central to
debates over Yosemite’s
future in 1997, when it wiped
out campgrounds, lodging and
parking
in
a
flood.
Environmental groups said the
park’s plans to replace those
features did not adequately
protect the Merced, and filed
least 15 seats, and Thompson
hopes that even more are won.
“If there’s a small margin
and the Republican’s minority
prevents us from governing,
that’s going to be very, very
difficult going into the next
election,” Thompson said.
“The only thing worse than
not winning the House would
be winning the House and
holding it for only two years.”
As for the U.S. Senate, he
was “cautiously optimistic”
that there might also be a
change in majority, but said it
was too close to call.
The
final
USA
Today/Gallup pre-election
poll for Senate said races in
some key states were too tight
to speculate, noting that of the
33 seats up for election,
Democrats need to take away
seats held by Republicans in
six states as well as keep all of
the seats they currently hold .
If the House changes
majority and the Senate
remains under GOP control,
Thompson believes the two
will be able to work together.
“The Senate’s been much
more moderate than the
House. The House has been
downright Draconian on the
policies that they’ve pushed
forward,” Thompson said.
“One thing’s for sure, even if
it stays in Republican control,
there’s going to be more
Democrats next time.”

suit.
By 2004, the case had made
its way to the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeal, which
ordered officials to revise
their management plan for the
river.
But park officials have
failed to write a management
plan that adequately protects
the river, U.S. District Judge
Anthony Ishii ruled Friday.
The judge sided with the
plaintiffs, who argued some of
the construction projects lie
directly in the Merced’s flood
plains and as such, could harm
the river’s “outstandingly
remarkable values.”
“What the court is saying
is, it’s in the public’s interest
to stop the park from doing
what it wants to do, immediately,” said Greg Adair, executive director of Friends of
Yosemite Valley, which filed
the
suit
along
with
Mariposans
for
Environmentally Responsible
Growth.
“Yosemite is an ecological
treasury of the Sierra Nevada
and as we see the population
growing and global changes
happening, its resources
become more and more precious,” Adair added.
Park officials now must
devise a legally valid plan to
protect the Merced River
before going ahead with projects to upgrade the Valley’s
sewer system, redevelop
Yosemite Lodge and repave
roads.
In Friday’s order, Ishii
agreed with a previous ruling
that park officials did not
properly assess the impact of
an increased number of visitors — an issue also raised by
environmental groups.

through each book and put it

everything on the shelves,”
Sankovich said.
Asked if there would be
enough books to fill the
library, she said: “Right now
it’s stacked full of books, but I
think we are probably going to
have a full library once we get
them out,” she said.
Hopland
Elementary
School will hold a book fair
on Dec. 12 to raise additional
funds for the library to pay for
supplies, more books, and so
forth.
Project Inkslinger(r) was
founded in 1993 to restore a
single library that was
destroyed
when
the
Mississippi River flooded
parts of the Midwest and
South. The program was
planned and implemented
totally within Mensa from
idea conception to book collection to database preparation to the final delivery, with
members using their own
backs and hands to put books
on the shelves. Thirteen years
later, volunteers are still helping to restore libraries in the
US that have been destroyed
by tragedy and lack the financial means to rebuild.
from Fetzer Vineyards.
“We’ve had tons and tons
of donations from all over the
country, even from Mexico,”
Sankovich said Monday.
“What I am doing right now is
sorting through the books we
have that survived (the flood).
... I am starting with our existing books and haven’t even
gotten into looking yet at the
donated books,” she said, noting, every book needs to be
shelved and cataloged.
