shooting
case delayed
GARDENING BEHIND BARS
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
The sentencing of Kenneth
Allen Rogers for his part in
the June 2005 attack on
Westport resident Alan Simon
was delayed almost a month
because Mendocino Superior
Court Judge Ron Brown was
in trial and unable to hear the
case Friday.
Rogers pleaded guilty to
charges of being an accessory
after the fact for harboring
Richard Peacock, who was
convicted of attempted firstdegree murder, with the special allegation that the crime
was committed with a
firearm, being a felon in possession of a firearm and firing
a gun at an inhabited dwelling
and sentenced to 71-years to
life
imprisonment
in
September of 2006.
Peacock fired nine rounds
from a .22 caliber handgun
into Simon’s home on June
17, 2005. Simon suffered
wounds to his wrist and head
in the attack but they were not
serious.
It was alleged during
Peacock’s trial that Rogers
paid Peacock to attack Simon
because Simon beat Rogers in
an August 2004 recall election
for Westport Water Board
Commissioner.
Several Westport residents
were in court on Friday,
including Simon.
According to reports from
Mendocino County District’s
Attorney’s Office, Rogers is
expected to receive a suspended state prison sentence of
three years, to be on supervised felony probation and
submit to police search at any
time.
Rogers will also be barred
from owning firearms or holding any state office for the rest
of his life.
Rogers is expected to be
back in court for sentencing
on Oct. 26 at 1:30 p.m. in
department B.

Inmates Cindy Harrington, right, and Brenda Gallegos transplant salad green starts in a shade house
located at the Mendocino County Jail. When the greens are ready, inmates will transplant them to the
organic garden on the facility’s grounds.
Sunshine and healthy work
By K.C. MEADOWS
The Daily Journal
Women in the county jail are getting an opportunity to grow.
Vegetables, that is.
Teams of four women at a time
are assigned to the jail garden, supervised by local horticulturist Terri
McCartney, well-known for her
numerous garden projects in public
spaces.
In its first year with McCartney’s
care, the garden produced some 200
pounds of vegetables in a week at
the height of summer.
Dug into scrub land well inside
the jail fences, the organic garden
was created with lots of donations
and hard work.
“This first year was about learning
the land,” McCartney explained. “It
takes longer to get where you want
to be.”
With donated manure, organic
compost and fill, the soil was vastly
improved and produced summer and
winter squash, pumpkins, tomatoes,
cucumbers, broccoli, spinach lettuces
and more. Inmates on the women’s
side of the jail enjoyed better salads
and vegetarian meals as a result.
Much of the produce is being harvested strictly for seeds this year,
McCartney said. The teams are separating and drying seeds, and saving
them into jars for next year’s garden.
One of the first things planted early
in the year were sunflowers, the
roots of which helped break up the
soil for the summer garden and
whose thick stalks make handy
fences and tomato cages.
In a jail yard greenhouse, tiny lettuces, greens and other winter crops
are sprouting, and will take the garden through the winter.
On Friday, inmates Cindy
Harrington and Brenda Gallegos
spent some time transplanting
seedlings into pots for the next phase
of growth. Both women said they
enjoyed their gardening jobs since it
gave them an opportunity to be outdoors and to work with growing
things.
In the greenhouse are stacked
The jail’s organic garden has many productive tomato plants.

dozens of No. 10 cans, and milk
jugs, recycled from the jail kitchen
for use as planters, as well as milk
crates of compost starter made of
manure, leaves from trees around the
jail and grape pomace.
Sheriff Tom Allman
is enthusiastic about
the garden program
which he credits
Sheriff’s Capt. Kevin
Broin with starting.
He points to a pile
of bright orange
pumpkins which he
says will be used to
decorate at the Ukiah
Pumpkinfest and then
donated to the Ukiah
Boys & Girls Club.
Women at the jail
have a limited number
of things they are
allowed to do as jobs.
While the men do
most of the cooking
and laundry, Gallegos
explained that the
women have the garden, food distribution,
classroom help and
some limited cleaning

Discussions over a contract
dispute between Mendocino
County and the Foundation
for Medical Care (which represents local doctors treating
county workers) are nearing a
resolution, according to
spokespersons for both organizations. The groups appear
to be in accord on the key
issues and have asked lawyers
on both sides to help finalize
the wording of the agreement.
The county has agreed to
raise the doctors’ fee to match
prevailing rates and to remedy
issues associated with assigning patients in Lake County to
another organization, according to Robert Faulk, the
Foundation executive director. The Foundation cancelled
the agreement with the county
on August 6, but deferred tak-
ing action affecting county
workers during discussions
with the county.
With no contract, county
workers could have been
forced to pay their own medical bills and then ask the
county for reimbursements.
“Our goal is to maintain
our relationship with the
Foundation,” says Linda
Clouser, human resources
director for the county. “We
want to update the contract
language to reflect the standard language used by the
county as well as to clarify the
language to avoid a future
misunderstanding with some
standardization for annual
review of rates.”
The two parties expect to
meet again by October 2 to
review the revised contract
language.

Kanani will provide music ranging from ‘60s to contemporary
rock. Various speakers throughout the day will offer inspiration
and hope.
“Rushing Wind” a Native American musical team from

6 Catholic nuns in Ark.
excommunicated for heresy
First time in diocese’s 165-year history
By ANDREW DeMILLO
The Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -Six Catholic nuns have been
excommunicated for heresy
after refusing to give up
membership in a Canadian
sect whose founder claims to
be possessed by the Virgin
Mary, the Diocese of Little
Rock
announced
Wednesday.
The Rev. J. Gaston
Hebert, the diocese administrator, said he notified the
nuns of the decision Tuesday
night after they refused to
recant the teachings of the
Community of the Lady of
All Nations, also known as
the Army of Mary.
The Vatican has declared
all members of the Army of
Mary
excommunicated.
Hebert said the excommunication was the first in the
diocese’s 165-year history.
“It is a painfully historic
moment for this church,”
Hebert said.
The six nuns are associated with the Good Shepherd
Monastery of Our Lady of
Charity and Refuge in Hot
Springs.
Sister
Mary
Theresa Dionne, one of the
nuns excommunicated, said
the nuns will still live at the
convent property, which
they own.
“We are at peace and we
know that for us we are
doing the right thing,” the
82-year-old nun said. “We
pray that the church will
open their eyes before it is
too late. This is God’s work
through Mary, the blessed
mother, and we’re doing
what we’re asked to do.”
At a news conference,
Hebert said the nuns
“became entranced and
deluded with a doctrine that
is heretical.” He said church
officials
removed
the
Eucharist -- which Catholics
revere as the body of Christ
-- from the monastery on
Tuesday night.
Hebert said the sect’s
members believe that its 86year-old founder, Marie
Paule Giguere, is the rein-
carnation of the Virgin Mary
and that God speaks directly
through her.
Excommunication bars
the nuns from participating
in the church liturgy and
receiving communion or
other sacraments.
The diocese said the
action was taken after the
Congregation
for
the
Doctrine of the Faith issued
a declaration dated July 11
that the Army of Mary’s
teachings were heretical and
automatically excommunicated any who embraced the
doctrine.
Hebert said the diocese
had known for years that the
nuns were following the sect
and said church officials in
the past had encouraged
them to come back into the
fold.
According to the Catholic
News Service, the Army of
Mary was founded in
Quebec in 1971 by Giguere,
who said she was receiving
visions from God.
Dionne said she does not
know if Giguere is the reincarnation of the Virgin
Mary, but said she believes
God communicates through
the sect’s founder.
“She is doing only what
God and Mary tells her to
do,” Dionne said.
A spokesman for the
Army of Mary called the
excommunication of the
nuns and the other members
of the sect an injustice.
Father Eric Roy said
Giguere has not claimed to
be the reincarnation of the
Virgin Mary, and said the
86-year-old Quebec woman
“receives graces” from the
Virgin Mary and God.
“The Virgin Mary took
possession of her soul. I
would rather say it that
way,” said Roy, superior
general of the Sons of Mary,
an associated group.

Bush adds to
China's glory
More broken
promises
In September 2004, the president was the
first world leader to accuse the government of
Sudan of the genocide of black Africans in
Darfur. Despite all the U.N. Security Council
resolutions and the earnest but naive negotiations by U.N. Secretary-General Ban KiMoon, the killings and rapes continue amid
the spreading chaos, which now encompasses
Chad. It is all the more startling that George
W. Bush has now accepted an invitation by
Chinese President Hu Jintao to grace next
summer's Olympics in Beijing.
Bush must know that China is making elaborate, expensive preparations -- including
reducing air pollution in Beijing -- for this
legendary international event. There is an
intense expectation among China's leaders
that hosting (and sharing in) the glories of the
quest for the gold medals will change China's
image in the world, from a merciless dictatorship to the embodiment of the Olympic spirit
of harmonious relations among nations.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Dana
Perino says that, although Bush spoke to the
Jintao "in a forceful way" during a recent private meeting in Australia about China's disdain for human rights and religious freedom,
Bush was not going to attend the Olympics to
make a political statement.
Michael Green, former Asia director at the
National Security Council in the Bush administration, told the New York Times (Sept. 7),
"The bottom line is (the president) just loves
sports, and I'm sure he wants to go, like any
other guy, because it's going to be exciting. I
think he's going to watch."
It would be even more exciting if, during
what I and others are calling the Genocide
Olympics, officials held an event to test the
synchronizing skills of Sudan's camel-riding
Janjaweed militias as they burn villages, kill
the men, rape the women, carry away the livestock and sometimes throw children into the
fires. Sudan's Khartoum government has
pledged to disarm the Janjaweed but has
shown no inclination to so, let alone punish
the leaders.
President Bush is certainly aware that
Sudan's chief investor in Sudan -- and leading
arms supplier -- is the host of next summer's
Olympics. China's leaders are nervous about
plans for a worldwide campaign to shame
China into exerting its enormous influence to
compel the Sudanese government to join civilization.
By hobnobbing with the leaders of the
People's Republic of China at the Summer
Olympics, the sports-loving president will -as Sophie Richardson, an Asia expert at
Human Rights Watch, puts it, be giving "an
enormous propaganda opportunity" as China
strives to erase the image of the young prodemocracy protestor standing in front of the
army tanks at Tiananmen Square.
Some years ago, it was George W. Bush, on
learning more of the details of the Rwanda
genocide, who wrote on what he was reading:
"Not on my watch." How can he not realize
that in going to watch the exciting games in
Beijing, the hosts with whom he consorts will,
in time, be responsible for more corpses than
the executors of the genocide in Rwanda?
Amid all the current talk by Ban Ki-Moon
about constructive efforts by the government
of Sudan to engage in peace negotiations with
the rebels and tribes, also warring with one
another, Reeves -- the pre-eminent historian
of this genocide -- wrote in the Sept. 6 Boston
Globe that "though violence in Darfur has
mutated ... ethnically targeted violence,
orchestrated by (the Khartoum government),
continues to be chronicled by human rights
investigators. ... The regime continues its
indiscriminate aerial bombardment of African
villages."
Under increasing danger are the extraordinarily brave humanitarian workers who are
also the victims of the violence. Some have
been forced to leave; and Eric Reeves quotes
Jan Egeland, former head of the U.N. humanitarian operations, that "hundreds of thousands would die in the event of humanitarian
collapse."
Maybe Mr. Bush, sitting in his box seat at
the games, will be moved to make "a political
statement" to Hu Jintao, urging him to tell the
government of Sudan that China is considering disinvesting from Sudan if it continues the
genocide. The president of China may listen
politely, but it continues to be China's unwavering insistence that it will continue, at the
U.N. Security Council, to protect Sudan from
forceful punishment of its crimes against its
own people.
Bush should reconsider and not let his presence at the Genocide Olympics in Beijing be
recorded as having been on his watch.
I also hope that, on reflection, a growing
number of the athletes winning a place at the
Summer Olympics will decide that receiving
a gold medal at an event hosted by a partner in
genocide will not be worth the trip.
Nat Hentoff is a nationally renowned
authority on the First Amendment and the
Bill of Rights.
So, ho hum, here we are again, facing yet another
bill signing period. By the hundreds, putative new
laws are now and will be piled upon the desk of Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who must decide whether to
sign them, exercise a veto or let them become law
without his signature.
It's a heady, if hectic, time for any governor, one
made more crowded by the fact that there are fundraisers to attend and campaign donors to glad-hand.
Nothing different there from any previous governor.
Except this governor promised not to do it. While
campaigning in the 2003 recall election, he observed
that "There is no question these contributions have
some influence. Any of these kinds of real, big special
interests, if you take money from them, you owe them
something."
Since then, of course, he has maintained nothing
can influence his decisions, that he is his own man
pure and simple, beyond influencing. But the facts
argue otherwise. Schwarzenegger, who campaigned
on the promise of eliminating contributions to both
governors and legislators during the budget-making
period and pledged to end contributions to governors
while their desks are loaded with passed bills, continually sets records for fund-raising in both periods.
And yet, his 2003 analysis remains as correct today
as it was then. All you need to do is look at his past
actions:
Twice he has vetoed a bill that would mandate a
comprehensive study of whether California has any
immediate need for liquefied natural gas. Sempra
Energy, which will soon begin bringing LNG into the
state from its under-construction gas receiving facility
in Baja California, Mexico, has kicked more than
$400,000 into his various political committees.
ChevronTexaco is another contributor, the big company and its executives having kicked in $665,000 as
of the June 15 reporting date. If it reaches him, what
will Schwarzenegger do with AB 118, the bill by
Democratic Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez aiming
to tax oil companies that drill in California to the tune
of about $137 million per year to fund research on
alternative energy?
ChevronTexaco was one of several oil companies
that kicked in tens of millions of dollars last year,
when a similar proposal made the November ballot as
an initiative and was overwhelmed by the tide of petro
dollars thrown against it.
Schwarzenegger hit on the problem when he first
sought office: Unless he signs the Núñez bill, his
motives will be open to question, no matter what his
real, underlying beliefs about it may be.
Even before the bill-signing period began, the governor ran afoul of the more than $15 million contributed to his committees by developers like the
Spanos Companies of Stockton ($2.7 million),
statewide homebuilder KB Home and its top executives Eli Broad and Bruce Karatz ($429,000) and Los
Angeles developer Rick Caruso ($653,000). When
Schwarzenegger's chief of staff and cabinet secretary
lobbied the Air Resources Board to go slow with rules
regulating particulate smog from old diesel construction equipment, critics immediately noted the amounts
contributed by developers and the fact that Chief of
Staff Susan Kennedy and Cabinet Secretary Dan
Dunmoyer
actually
are
paid
more
by
Schwarzenegger's campaign committees than by the
state.
This, of course, came at the very time
Schwarzenegger was traveling the world posing as a
leading opponent of greenhouse gases and other harmful emissions. "A tarnished green giant," some critics
said. Others began calling him "the pollutinator."
The question raised by these facts is simple: Who
do he and they really work for, the people or the
donors who pay those salaries and for
Schwarzenegger's private jet and the klieg lights at his
every public appearance?
Similar questions have arisen in previous bill-signing periods, when Schwarzenegger vetoed consumerist bills like one that would have guaranteed cell
phone users the right to cancel contracts within 30
days if unsatisfied with service (ATT and affiliates
have contributed $235,000) and another toughening
the state's automotive lemon laws (car dealers have
tossed in more than $2.8 million).
The bottom line: If Schwarzenegger wants to be
taken seriously as both an impartial decision maker
acting on his own convictions and as the world leader
in the fight against climate change, he will first have
to clean up the foul image created by the very existence of his vast corps of big-money business contributors.

Letters from our readers
GIs grateful for gifts
To the Editor:
This is a wonderful letter I just
received from one of our 239 recipients of
our August 26, 2007 mailing for the
troops. It would be wonderful to share this
with everyone in our community, as it
says so much for our continued effort as a
whole.
Dear Tamara and GI Moms:
I would like to thank you for your support of the troops. I’m the Platoon
Sergeant for about 50 soldiers. My soldiers do many different missions on this
deployment. I’m also in charge of the
DHA, which is a jail. I wish I could tell
you more about it, but due to legal stuff, I
cannot. The other half run missions when
we are not full in the jail. My platoon has
been together for two years now, and they
are my second family. We are very close
to one another, and we want to thank you
all.
We are located out in the desert, and
live in tents and dust. We may not have
what everyone else has, but we do our
best out here. We all love the cards that
Anthony, Michaela, Julio, Mira and
Miguel sent us. It made me really think of
my 3-year-old daughter, and my four
other children. I know that all of the married soldiers in my platoon thought about
their kids, too.
I would just like to thank all of you at
GI Moms for your support of troops
around the world. It takes a loving and
caring person to do what you all do. Once
again, thank you.

Don’t take more,
make more
of attempting to take more water from
where it falls and flows, Australians have
chosen to make more water where it is
needed, using the energy of ocean swells
to produce fresh water from the sea. The
pilot project was reported by Reuters earlier this year and more details can be
found at www.oceanlinx.com/desalinated.asp. Before California embarks on a
multi-billion dollar project to store and
ship water, wouldn’t it be prudent to
spend perhaps .0001 percent of that
amount over the next six months to have
the Department of Water Resources evaluate the reality, potential, and cost of wave
energy conversion (WEC)--based offshore
desalination?
The Department’s plan for increased
storage and transportation of water is
totally dependent upon the amount of
snow falling on California’s mountains
and the amount of rain falling in
California’s watersheds: additional storage
and transport capacity are totally ineffective if the total precipitation is insufficient
to recharge groundwater, maintain sufficient river and stream flows, and meet the
needs of people and businesses over a
protracted period. On the other hand, so
long as there is sea water in the Pacific
Ocean and waves to generate power,
WEC-based offshore desalination can
increase fresh water supply 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year, regardless of annual
rainfall, in Southern California where it is
most needed.
I believe California’s new water policy
should be: “Don’t take more water: make
more water!”

As your Working Group on Water

different from -- and in my opinion far
superior to -- that proposed by
Department of Water Resources. Instead

Episcopalians promise ‘restraint’ in confirming
gay bishops trying to avert Anglican split
By RACHEL ZOLL
AP Religion Writer
NEW ORLEANS -- Even the fiercest
critics of the Episcopal Church’s liberal
drift say it’s too soon to know whether the
bishops’ latest pledge to “exercise
restraint” in approving another gay bishop
will go far enough to help prevent an
Anglican schism.
“It will take months and years to really
see,” said Bishop Martyn Minns, who
leads a conservative network of breakaway
Episcopal parishes.
Overseas, people on both sides of the
debate registered their unhappiness
Wednesday. Some supporters of gay clergy
accused Episcopal leaders of caving in to
conservatives led by African archbishops,
while traditionalists criticized what they
saw as a cleverly worded declaration of
defiance. The 77-million-member fellowship has been splintering since 2003, when
Episcopalians consecrated the first openly
gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New
Hampshire. The Episcopal Church is the
Anglican body in the U.S.
Episcopal bishops released their pledge
to “exercise restraint” Tuesday in the final
moments of a six-day meeting -- and as the
decades-long debate over interpreting the
Bible threatens to shatter the world
Anglican Communion.
Anglican leaders had set a Sunday deadline for the Americans to pledge unequivocally not to consecrate another gay bishop
or approve an official prayer service for
same-sex couples. On Wednesday, the Rev.
Colin Coward, director of Changing
Attitude England, said he believed the
bishops had met the Anglican request.
“If conservatives continue to press for
the exclusion of the Episcopal Church,
transgress provincial boundaries and
decide not to attend the Lambeth
Conference in 2008, they will take responsibility for provoking a tear in the Anglican
Communion and will have withdrawn
from the our fellowship,” Coward said.
Martyn Minns, a former Episcopal
priest who was consecrated as a bishop in
the Church of Nigeria to serve
Episcopalians alienated from their own
bishops, said on Tuesday that the American
bishops’ statement was “the totally wrong
response.”
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan
Williams, the Anglican spiritual leader,
took the unusual step of attending the
meeting for the first two days, pushing
bishops to make concessions for the sake
of unity. Anglican lay and clergy representatives from overseas also participated,
chastising Episcopal leaders for the turmoil
they’ve caused. Episcopal bishops
responded by affirming a resolution passed
last year by the Episcopal General
Convention that urged bishops to “exercise
restraint” by not consenting to a candidate
for bishop “whose manner of life presents
a challenge” to Anglicans and the church.
The promise falls short of an outright ban.
Episcopal leaders also promised they
wouldn’t approve official prayers to bless
same-gender couples and insisted that
most Episcopal bishops do not authorize
the ceremonies. However, it is widely
acknowledged that many individual priests
offer blessings informally in their own
parishes and will continue to do so despite
Tuesday’s pledge.
Williams and other Anglican leaders
will evaluate the bishops’ statement in the
coming weeks. But before he left New
Orleans, the archbishop of Canterbury
played down the significance of the
Anglican demands, saying “there is no ultimatum involved.”
Canon Jim Naughton, a spokesman for
the Diocese of Washington, said the statement “reassures our partners in the
Anglican Communion that we have taken
their concerns seriously.” However, Minns
said the bishops’ statement was “the totally
wrong response,” and said many
Episcopalians are already “voting with
their feet.”
Four of the 110 Episcopal dioceses -Fort Worth, Texas; Pittsburgh; Quincy, Ill.;
and San Joaquin, Calif. -- are taking steps
to split off from the national church and
align with an overseas Anglican church.
And about 60 of the more than 7,000
Episcopal parishes have left or have lost a
significant number of clergy and members,
according to the national church.
Anglican leaders from Nigeria,
Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and elsewhere
have violated Anglican tradition that they
minister only within their own provinces
and have consecrated bishops to oversee
breakaway Episcopal congregations in the
United States. In their statement Tuesday,
bishops said they “deplore” the incursions
and “call for them to end.”
Conservative Bishop John Howe of the
Diocese of Central Florida said the statement wouldn’t satisfy all Anglican leaders,
but predicted “most will find it acceptable.” Howe is staying in the Episcopal
Church, even though his diocese, based in
Orlando, has rejected Episcopal Presiding
Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori as a
leader because she is liberal.
The next crucial event for the communion will be the Lambeth Conference, in
July in England. The once-a-decade meeting brings together all the bishops in the
Anglican world. Whether Williams can
persuade bishops to attend will be a measure of the strength of the communion.
Williams did not invite Robinson or
Minns. But some Anglican prelates don’t
even want to be at the same table as
Episcopalians who consecrated Robinson.
Still, Robinson has been in private talks
with Williams to find a way he can attend,
possibly as an observer.

Ukiah High Girls
volleyball team
adds third victory
The Daily Journal
Ukiah’s varsity girl’s volleyball team defeated Santa
Rosa, at Santa Rosa, in five
hard-fought games Thursday.
Ukiah came out strong in
the first game scoring 14 kills
and three aces to win the game
25-12, in dominating fashion.
The top scorers were
Megan Metcalf with two aces
and three kills and Melissa
Berndt with four kills.
Assisting with the kills was
Caroline Eggertsen with six
set assists, great back row
defensive work was provided
udjsports@pacific.net
by Melissa Reyes.
The tides changed for
Ukiah in the second game.
Santa Rosa stepped up its
defense and Ukiah could only
generate seven kills and two
aces, going down 14-25.
Berndt was the top scorer with
three kills and was helped out
by Nicole White with two
more kills. The aces went to
Ashley Lower and Eggertsen
and defensive work by Lauren
Wallace and Shelby Hale
made Santa Rosa work hard
for each point.
During the third game both
teams were matching up their
offense and defense well, but
Ukiah, with 12 kills and an
ace, was able to earn the win
at 25-18. Katie Dhooghe led
Ukiah with four kills while
Berndt added three kills and
Brooke Ingram had two kills
and an ace.
The fourth game became a
defense dual with only eight
kills and one ace for Ukiah.
Each point was hard earned
after long, tension filled rallies. The two teams were tied
throughout the game with the
win finally going to Santa
Rosa with 26 points over
Ukiah’s 24. White, with three
kills was the high scorer.
Keeping Ukiah in the game
was strong defensive work by
Emily Houghton and Gaby
Kong.
Ukiah was on offensively
in the tie breaking fifth game
earning eight of its 15 points
from kills and an ace. Santa
Rosa, only able to earn nine
points, gave Ukiah the win,
15-9. Metcalf was back as top
scorer with three kills, backed
up by Ingram with two kills,
Berndt with an ace and one
kill and Dhooghe with one
kill.
“The girls pulled off another five game win by keeping
up their energy and playing as
a team” said Coach Valerie
Psara.
Ukiah’s league record
stands at 3-0. They next face
Maria Carrillo at home on
Tuesday, Oct. 2, and then face

Washington hopes to pull an upset against NO. 1 USC
By GREGG BELL
AP Sports Writer
SEATTLE — Jordan
Reffett is, like many, in awe of
the Southern California
Trojans.
As the Huskies senior
defensive end was explaining
this week how the talent of the
top-ranked Trojans was
“ridiculous,” his eight-monthold daughter crawled across a
nearby couch. Little Kendall,
wearing a purple Washington
T-shirt and her blonde hair in
pigtails with two purple ties,
started turning the pages of a
book: The Little Engine That
Could.
The Huskies (2-2, 0-1 Pac10) would love to be that
entering Saturday night’s
meeting with the Trojans (3-0,
1-0), who have won 59 of
their
last
63
games.
Washington is a three-touchdown underdog at home.
“It’s ridiculous the amount
of talent they have,” Reffett
said. “It’s almost scary. They
have guys who can hurt you.”
Washington, which has lost
consecutively to Ohio State
and UCLA since opening 2-0,
has beaten a No. 1 team just
once in 10 tries.
That includes going 0-6
and getting outscored 169-51
against USC while the Trojans
have been top-ranked, dating
to 1939.
On Jan. 2, 1961, the
Huskies beat No. 1 Minnesota
in the Rose Bowl.
These Huskies will be
wearing the plain gold helmets and dark blue jerseys of
that 1960 UW team Saturday,
in an attempt to absorb some
of that magic.
They’ll need it.
File Photo
USC is favored over Washington by three-touchdowns.
“Obviously the best team in
the country,” coach Tyrone
Willingham said of USC,
which he has beaten just four
times in 12 tries while at
Washington (0-2), Notre
Dame (0-3) and Stanford (43).
The Trojans are coming off
a 47-14 victory over
Washington
State
that
answered concerns about the
offense being out-of-balance
during a rushing rampage past
Nebraska.
Second-year starting quarterback John David Booty
completed a career-best 28
passes in 35 attempts for 279
yards and four touchdowns
against the Cougars.
The offense already had
emerging wide receivers such
as Patrick Turner and so many
talented running backs coach
Pete Carroll can’t explain how
he decides who plays. Then
last week, tight end Fred
Davis caught nine passes for
124 yards and two touchdowns — all career highs for
the senior.
“It helped us feel good
about what we’re doing,”
Carroll said of pounding
WSU, as if he needed a pickme-up.
Carroll is nitpicking about
not creating enough turnovers,
giving the ball away too much
and committing too many
penalties.
Yet USC has won its first
three games by a combined
134-55.
“I think our offense is really ready to roll and be consistent,” he said. “And John
David has been perfect in the
position of leading this
offense.”
The Trojans may be missing cornerback Cary Harris
and linebacker Brian Cushing,
who are both injured, when
they face Washington quarterback Jake Locker.
Locker was excellent in a
42-12 rout at Syracuse and
then a 24-10 upset of Boise
State. But UCLA and Ohio
State each used linebackers to
spy Locker on most downs
and that led to two consecutive losses and some spotty
play from the redshirt fresh-
man.
The strong, speedy Locker
knows another opponent is
about to crowd his runs from
the shotgun, spread offense
and dare him to throw it.
“Oh, definitely ... Come up
with some sort of scheme with
a spy to take that running
away from me,” Locker said.
“There’s no excuse. I’ve got to
make those throws.”
Carroll gushed about
Locker as if he’d rather have
him at USC. He tried, recruiting him three years ago out of
Ferndale, Wash., High School.
It became obvious early
Locker was going to stay
close to home, spurn a lucrative chance at professional
baseball and play football for
Washington.
“I’m having trouble seeing
anything else when I’m looking at them,” Carroll said of
Locker and the Huskies. “So
we’re going to have to do
everything we can to slow him
down and keep him from
being the factor that controls
the football game. I think he’s
that good.
“It’s a lot to put on a kid,
but this is a very, very, very
unique kid.”
Carroll said he’s glad this is
just Week 5 of Locker’s
career.
“In the years to come he’s
going to be just a remarkable
player,”
Carroll
said.
“Fortunately we’re getting
him in his first year.
“Get him in years two and
three, he’s going to be ridiculous.”

Kobe Bryant expected to begin training camp with Lakers
By JOHN NADEL
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES — The
time has come for Kobe
Bryant to end months of
silence regarding the Los
Angeles Lakers.
That’s assuming he joins
his teammates Monday at
media day in suburban El
Segundo and then on the flight
to Hawaii for the start of training camp Tuesday.
Although Bryant is expected,
his
spokesperson
Catherine Sebring declined
comment when asked about
his plans, lending a bit of
intrigue.
Still, the Lakers are counting on him.
“Without mentioning specific names, appropriate people in our organization have
been in contact with Kobe,
and we have no reason to
believe he won’t be in Hawaii
for training camp,” team
spokesman John Black said.
A posting Friday on
Bryant’s Web site indicated
the 29-year-old will be at
camp.
“The countdown to tipoff is
on,” it began. “Summer is
gone, fall is upon us and that
can mean only one thing:
NBA training camps are just
around the corner. While some
teams are holding their media
days today, the Lakers will
invite the media to their practice facility on Monday and
will depart shortly after for
training camp in Hawaii.

yet another local show, then
Bryant hasn’t said much reiterated his desire to play
about the Lakers since those elsewhere.
bizarre couple of days four
The two-time defending
months ago when he called NBA scoring champion
the team’s front office a mess pushed for an upgraded roster
on a local sports talk radio after the Lakers were elimishow, asked to be traded on a nated by Phoenix in the first
national show, backed off dur- round of the playoffs for the
second straight year last
spring.
It hasn’t happened.
Unrestricted free agents
Luke Walton and Chris Mihm
were re-signed, and Derek
Fisher, a former Laker was
added, which should improve
the backcourt. But an attempt
to land Kevin Garnett from
Minnesota was unsuccessful,
and nothing developed regarding
Indiana’s
Jermaine
O’Neal.
Bryant did apologize to
general
manager
Mitch
Kupchak for criticizing him
and bemoaning the fact that
Andrew Bynum wasn’t traded
in a video recorded by three
fans last spring and sold on
the Internet.
But Bryant declined to discuss his situation with the
Lakers while playing for the
United States earlier this summer in the FIBA Americas
tournament. He was a key factor in the USA’s triumph,
landing the Americans a berth
in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The Lakers repeatedly have
said they won’t trade Bryant,
who has played his entire 10year NBA career with them.
He has four years remaining
on the seven-year, $136.4 million contract he signed following the 2003-04 season —
immediately after Shaquille
O’Neal was traded to Miami.
Bryant can terminate the deal
in two years.
The Lakers won three
championships and reached
the NBA finals for a fourth
time in O’Neal’s last five
years with them, but the bad
blood between O’Neal and
Bryant was well-chronicled.
Right before he asked to be
traded, Bryant became infuriated when a Los Angeles
Times columnist quoted a
Lakers “insider” as saying it
was Bryant’s insistence on
getting away from O’Neal that
prompted his trade to Miami.
The Lakers haven’t won a
playoff series since O’Neal
left. They won 26 of their first
39 games last season, but due
at least in part to several
injuries, lost 27 of their final
43 to finish 42-40.
Bryant said he feels team
owner Jerry Buss misled him
right before he re-signed by
telling him one thing and
coach Phil Jackson something
else about the team’s goals.
Bryant said he was told the
Lakers would immediately try
to rejoin the NBA’s elite. But
he said Jackson told him
shortly before his request to
be traded that Buss was not
bringing him back as coach
following the 2003-04 season
because the team was committed to reducing payroll and
rebuilding long term.
Jackson returned after sitting out one season and is
about to begin the final year of
a three-year, $30 million contract.
He has been offered an
extension but hasn’t made a
decision regarding his future
beyond this season.
Jackson said earlier this
month that he agreed with
Bryant — the Lakers still
needed more talent to compete
for a championship.
SPORTS
Simpson case exposes the shady side of memorabilia collecting
By NANCY ARMOUR
AP National Writer
Think of sports memorabilia, and those baseball cards
from childhood immediately
spring to mind. It’s simple,
nostalgic, a way to hold on to
a much simpler time.
Then O.J. Simpson got
involved.
Simpson’s arrest almost
two weeks ago in an armed
holdup of sports memorabilia
collectors was a reminder of
just how big a business collecting is.
And like every business,
memorabilia collecting has its
shady characters.
“There’s an unsavory side
to any business, no matter
what it is. It’s the nature of
business,” said Josh Evans,
chairman and founder of
Lelands, an auction house in
Seaford, N.Y. “Unfortunately,
usually they kind of slip in
between the shadows and
behind closed doors. When
something like this happens, it
brings them into the light.
“They’re a very small percentage, only a few.”
According
to
police
reports, Simpson and several
other men went to a hotel
room at the Palace Station
casino in Las Vegas on Sept.
13 on the pretext of brokering
a deal with two longtime collectors. But once in the room,
the collectors were ordered at
gunpoint to hand over items
including game balls signed
by Simpson, framed awards
and plaques and Joe Montana
lithographs.
Some of the items were valued at as much as $100,000.
Simpson insists the items
were really his and had been
stolen from him earlier. But
he’s facing multiple charges,
including kidnapping and
armed robbery.
One of the collectors has a
criminal record, as does the
man who arranged the meeting with Simpson.
“When you’re not with the
flagships of the industry, I’m
not real sure who you’re doing
business with,” said FBI
Special
Agent
Tim
Fitzsimmons, the case agent
for Operation Bullpen, which
broke up a nationwide network of forgers, authentica-
tors and sellers of sports and
celebrity memorabilia.
“It’s kind of like the old
axiom, you get what you pay
for.”
Although the Simpson case
might make the memorabilia
industry seem less than legit,
Fitzsimmons and others say
nothing could be further from
the truth. Most memorabilia is
bought and sold through
agents or auction houses —
companies whose multimillion dollar earnings are dependent on doing honest business.
They employ authenticators to make sure that ball
really was once hit by Babe
Ruth, and the signature on that
trading card really is Tony
Gwynn’s. If someone brings
them something to sell, they
require a provenance, a paper
trail that traces the item’s
owners and history.
“You won’t last long in this
business unless you’re being
fair with people,” said Dan
Imler, managing director of
SCP Auctions, which recently
auctioned off Barry Bonds
756th home run ball.
“It’s all about earning peo-
ple’s trust and earning your
future business. Generally,
those people that are
unscrupulous don’t stick
around long.”
A problem the industry
does have is with forgeries or
fake memorabilia. Before
Operation Bullpen, the FBI
estimated that much of the
“vintage” memorabilia — pictures, autographs, bats, balls
— were fake.
Athletes would come
across autographed pictures of
themselves and have no idea
whose signature was on it.
Jerseys passed off as authentic
were no more unique than the
ones on sale at the mall.
“There were one of two of
them that were just people
running a criminal business
out of their bedroom, more or
less,” Fitzsimmons said of
those arrested in Operation
Bullpen. “If you’ve got a computer and a pen and a bunch of
items to forge, you’re in business.”
But as the FBI was conducting its investigation in the
late 1990s, athletes, sports
leagues and collectibles deal-
ers began taking action of
their own.
Items were marked with
unique, tamperproof markings
to ensure their authenticity.
When Barry Bonds was chasing Hank Aaron for the alltime home run record this
summer,
Major
League
Baseball used specially
marked balls for Bonds’ atbats. Thirty years from now,
there will be no question
about whether a ball really
was No. 756 — and not
because the guy who bought it
has decided to stick an asterisk on it.
Auction houses and dealers
employed authenticators to
make sure pieces were legit
and signatures were real.
Athletes signed with companies so there would be only
one source for their memorabilia. Want an autographed
picture of Tiger Woods winning the 2006 British Open?
Unless he gave you one himself, you’ll have to get it from
Upper Deck.
“I would say the majority
of stuff out there being sold
directly to the public, the
majority is authentic,” said
Doug Allen, president of
Mastro Auctions in Burr
Ridge, Ill.
“It’s not bad auction houses
out there,” he added. “What
there are is bad people trying
to get things past auction
houses and authenticators. Do
you have any idea of how
many Babe Ruth baseballs we
turn down? A lot more than
we sell.”
Fitzsimmons agreed, saying counterfeits and forgeries
in sports collectibles have
dropped significantly in recent
years.
Now the problem is with
Hollywood and celebrity
memorabilia, Fitzsimmons
said.
One ugly incident like
Simpson’s, though, and the
whole sports memorabilia
industry is suspect again.
“This has really nothing to
do with validation of sports
memorabilia. This was about
somebody taking the law into
their own hands,” Evans said.
“Not great guys want to deal
with not great guys. That’s the
problem.”
Cal hopes to get in Dennis Dixon’s head when they play Oregon
By ANNE M. PETERSON
AP Sports Writer
EUGENE,
Ore.
—
California’s strategy for stopping Oregon quarterback
Dennis Dixon? Rattle him.
It worked last year when
the Golden Bears intercepted
Dixon’s first pass in Berkeley
and went on to a 45-24 victory.
Perhaps the same will succeed Saturday when the No.
11 Ducks host sixth-ranked
Cal (4-0, 1-0 Pac-10).
“I feel like we’re already in
his head before we even started. Any quarterback, you can
always get into his head if you
try,” said Bears safety
Brandon Hampton, who intercepted that first pass.
Cal picked off Dixon three
times in the game a season
ago. Oregon (4-0, 1-0) went
on to lose five of its next eight
games, and Dixon was
benched in favor of Brady
Leaf in the final regular season game against Oregon
State.
Then Dixon took off to play
baseball with the Atlanta
Braves organization during
the summer, leaving some to
question his commitment to
the team.
But the talented senior
rejoined the Ducks this fall
and embraced new offensive
coordinator Chip Kelly’s
speedy, no-huddle, spreadoption schemes.
Now four victories into the
season, Dixon has thrown for
11 touchdowns and no interceptions. He’s run for four
more scores, including a faked
Statue of Liberty play against
Michigan at the Big House.
He ranks fourth in the
nation in passing efficiency
and leads the league in total
offense, with an average of
nearly 306 yards.
“His running and his confidence is impressive. He gives
them a chance to win every
game, even more so than last
year, I think. They spread the
offense, and then Dixon gets
his rushes,” Hampton said.
“It’s kind of sneaky.”
That said, California’s
defense will turn up the pressure on Dixon.
“You put enough hits on a
guy, he’ll get rattled, no matter who he is. That’s not to say
he’s soft, because he gets up

Oregon will have their hands full trying to stop Cal’s DeSean Jackson.
from every hit I’ve seen, but
you can rattle any guy,” linebacker Worrell Williams said.
The Golden Bears are
ranked fourth in the Pac-10 in
total defense (361 yards), with
the linebackers leading the
way.
They’ve combined for 132
tackles, 5.5 sacks, four forced
fumbles and an interception.
However, they will be without
Zack Follett, who has a neck
stinger.
Cal’s defense has scored
twice on fumble recoveries.
Dixon is well aware of
Cal’s defense — it did sting
him last year, after all.
“They’re a great team and
you can never underestimate a
defense, to tell you the truth.
You never know what they’re
going to throw at you,” he
said. “You have to anticipate
the hard and react to the easy.”
The Ducks have a sevengame winning streak against
Cal at Autzen Stadium. Cal
coach Jeff Tedford, former
offensive coordinator for
Oregon, has yet to win in
Eugene with the Bears.
The last Cal road win
against the Ducks came in
1987.
“This will be definitely the
toughest game we’ve played
so far,” Hampton said. “I feel
that every week is a tough
game, but this game is more
important because we have
that rivalry with Oregon. They
have a great team, and I’m
sure they will be in the running for the Pac-10 towards
the end of the season.”
London calling: Ducks, Kings promise rough opener across the pond
By MATTIAS KAREN
AP Sports Writer
LONDON — If the
Anaheim Ducks and Los
Angeles Kings needed another
reason to get physical, playing
each other in London may be
the perfect excuse.
With the NHL making its
regular-season debut Saturday
and Sunday in the British capital, fans await a firsthand
look of one of the league’s
Organics
&
Hydroponics
Hopland
trademarks — rink-rattling
hits and at least a couple of
fights.
The Ducks and Kings are
more than happy to oblige.
“We’re crosstown rivals,
and we really don’t like each
other,” Kings coach Marc
Crawford said. “Our games
are spirited, and I think that’s
what fans like. ... And our
players, you never have to
worry about if they’re ready
for these games.”
Ducks winger George
Parros, who has never been
afraid to drop his gloves on
the ice, said he wouldn’t be
surprised to see a brawl at the
sold-out O2 Arena.
“Some guys might get
excited, and I’m sure they’re
looking forward to get a rise
out of the crowd,” said Parros,
who racked up 102 penalty
minutes in 34 games last sea-
son. “I think, it being the first
game of the season. There’s
going to be some high energy,
big hits, and things could get
interesting.”
The NHL is taking its season opener to Europe as part
of an effort to expand its overseas market. So instead of
opening its Stanley Cup
defense at home at The Pond,
Anaheim had to travel across
the pond for the home-and-
home series against Los
Angeles.
“It’s a little bit hard, but
we’re trying to make the most
of it,” Ducks captain Chris
Pronger said. “Initially we
were all kind of upset to come
here, we didn’t really want to.
... But it’s certainly an honor
for us to be over here trying to
market the game to a new
group of fans who hopefully
will become die-hard NHL
There’s an easier way to recycle your old fridge. And
fans.”
There’s more at stake,
though, than just being goodwill ambassadors.
Anaheim is looking to
remain a force in the Western
Conference while also adjusting to playing without top
defenseman Scott Niedermeyer, last season’s playoff
MVP, and Teemu Selanne.
Both have yet to decide
whether to return or retire.

No. 23 Arizona State visits Stanford
By JOSH DUBOW
AP Sports Writer
STANFORD
—
Jim
Harbaugh has coached two
games in the Pac-10 for
Stanford and has already
learned a lesson about how the
game is played in the highscoring conference.
“You’re really seeing it
from
our
conference,”
Harbaugh said. “It’s a very
potent conference offensively.
It’s a great challenge for our
defense.”
It’s one Stanford (1-2, 0-2)
has not been up to so far, having allowed 50 points and
more than 600 yards per game
in losses to UCLA and
Oregon.
Things don’t figure to get
much easier for the Cardinal
on Saturday when they host
No. 23 Arizona State (4-0, 10). New coach Dennis
Erickson has the Sun Devils
back in the Top 25 after four
games. Arizona State is the
fourth school Erickson has
guided into the rankings,
along with Washington State,
Miami and Oregon State.
But he knows he has plenty
more work to do to build a
consistent winner, starting
with winning the team’s first
road game of the year.”
“We can’t afford to overlook anybody,” Erickson said.
“We’re not to that level by any
means. You can take eight or
nine teams in our league and
they’re all pretty close.
Anybody could beat anybody.
Our team knows that. We
haven’t accomplished anything here in a long time.
We’ve won four football
games. We’re 1-0 in the Pac10. That’s it.”
Arizona State is averaging
39 points and has shown the
ability to bounce back from
slow starts on the way to its
third 4-0 start since 1982.
The Sun Devils trailed
Oregon State 19-0 in the first
quarter last week before coming back to win 44-32. They
also rallied from an early 14point deficit to Colorado on

East Division

y-New York
Toronto
Baltimore
Tampa Bay
NEW YORK — Mets manager Willie Randolph steadfastly proclaimed his belief in
his team’s heart as its lead
evaporated in the NL East.
Now its mettle is really
going to be tested.
The spiraling Mets managed just three hits in a 3-0
loss to the St. Louis Cardinals
on Thursday night that
dropped them into a firstplace tie with Philadelphia in
the division.
“We’re tied now, so now
we’ve got three games to get it
done,” Randolph said. “That’s
the way baseball goes and we
kind of made our own bed
here so we’ve got to fight
through this.”
Not even Pedro Martinez
could save New York, which
had led the division alone
every day since May 16.
Randolph quickly tried to lift
the players’ spirits after the
game, delivering what he
called a positive message during a brief team meeting.
“I have got a lot of confidence in my guys and they’ve
shown me before they can
step up,” Randolph said.
The Mets (87-72) were
ahead by seven games with 17
remaining but have lost 10 of
14 overall and seven straight
at home, a monumental tailspin for a team that counted
on being in the playoffs.
“I think we’re due to have
something special happen to
us because in the time I’ve
been here I don’t think we’ve
had a little stretch playing
games like that and kind of
getting away from us that
easy,” Martinez said. “So I’m
expecting something good to
happen.”
No major league team has
failed to finish first after having at least a seven-game lead
with 17 to play. But with three

feel like this is our division.”
The latest loss was inflicted
by the Cardinals, who beat the

final 33 points of the game.
The Cardinal have been
shredded defensively by
UCLA and Oregon, but shut
out San Jose State in their
only nonconference game.
Stanford played UCLA
close for almost three quarters
and used a 28-point second
quarter to take a 31-24 halftime lead last week against
No. 11 Oregon. But the
Cardinal are still seeking their
first conference win under
their new coach.
“He has them going in the
right direction,” Erickson
said. “They had a chance
against Oregon and played
well against UCLA. You can
just see a marked difference
from last year.”
Finishing games has been
the problem, as Stanford has
been outscored 62-10 in the
second half of its two conference losses. Last year,
Stanford was rarely even competitive in games, getting
blown out repeatedly.

In the year ahead, you
might be required to bear a
heavier load than that to
which you’re accustomed, but
it won’t be without rewards.
Greater returns for work well
done will also be much more
substantial.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Be mindful of situations or
conditions that could cause
you complications, but don’t
get carried away to the point
of being negative about things
that will never happen.
Remain upbeat.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Try to make it a point
not to buy things on a whim or
something that you’ll never
use. If your need isn’t urgent,
forgo shopping so you won’t
be tempted to splurge.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- A friend who has a
habit of taking it upon
him/herself to think for others
might try to do so for you. It’s
best you put a stop to it immediately, or you’ll be overrun
by this person’s interference.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Now and then, you
have a tendency to see problems as big as mountains,
when, in reality, they are
merely molehills. Chances are
you’ll be tempted to use that
magnifying glass once again.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- When in social
involvements, don’t take the
activity or yourself too seriously, especially if there is
competition involved. You’ll

TODAY’S SPORTS: In 1954, during the
World Series, the New York Giants’ Willie
Mays caught Cleveland Indian Vic Wertz’s
near-home run in what is regarded as one of the
greatest catches in baseball history.
TODAY’S QUOTE: “He who puts out his
hand to stop the wheel of history will have his
have a much better time if
you’re laid-back and easygoing.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Neither you nor your
mate is likely to achieve your
intentions if each is striving
for an opposing objective. A
successful day will be denied
you unless you find a way to
agree on things.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- All that time you waste
procrastinating over what you
should be doing will be taken
from your hours of productivity tomorrow. Get over it now,
so tomorrow won’t be so hectic.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- It’s best not to volunteer
handling the funds for a group
endeavor, because, no matter
fingers crushed.” -- Lech Walesa
TODAY’S FACT: Enrico Fermi proposed

how you spend the dollars,
someone is apt to say you
should have done it differently. You can’t win.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Don’t be too intent on
having your own way.
Chances are things will turn
out in ways where the ideas of
fellow companions would
have worked out better. Go
along with another’s idea.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Sadly, any restrictive
conditions you may experience will be the byproduct of
your own negative thinking.
For good or ill, your mode of
operation will be determined
by your attitude.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Being short on funds should-
n’t stop you from engaging in
the great variety of fun things
that you can do. In fact, many
activities that are free can provide the greatest pleasure.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- If an associate who seldom gives you a nod of hello
makes a big fuss over you, be
on guard. This generous greeting is apt to be a mask for covering up something devious or
tricky.

DIRECTIONS:
A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its
letter one time, arrange the numbers with
their letters for the "Order Grid" so each
vertical column, horizontal row, and two
diagonals each ADD to numbers inside
thick lined cells.
B. Some correct numbers with their letters
have been put into the "Order Grid" to
get you started. Also, above the "Order
Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue.
C. After you have solved the "Order Grid"

Answer: What the dieter looked for when he got on
the scale — A BETTER “WEIGH”
Prior infidelities continue to haunt an emperiled marriage
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I just discovered my husband
has a son by an old flame who was “the love of
his life.” The baby was born shortly after we
married 36 years ago.
My husband wants me to stop living in the
past (he has had at least three affairs) and let it
go. The thing is, I can’t. It consumes me and I
can’t think of anything else. I have left him a
couple of times but always came back. I’m not
sure I’m going to get over this one. I have been
in counseling, but it may not be enough. What
can I do? -- Knoxville, Tenn.
Dear Knoxville: We know this betrayal
seems brand new to you and that it means your
husband has a child with a woman you still feel
threatened by. But he cannot undo the past, no
matter how painful, so think carefully about
what you expect from him. After you have had
time to absorb the shock of this revelation and
discuss it with a counselor, you will have a better idea of what decisions you need to make.
Dear Annie: When my family gets together,
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
we like to go to a restaurant so no one has to
cook. The problem is, my brother, “Vic,” and
his wife, “Vera,” can never take care of their
own bill. They are hurt if we don’t tell them we
went out, but when we do tell them, they say
they “won’t be eating” because they don’t have
the money. Or worse, they show up, eat and
expect someone to treat them.
This puts us in an awkward position. Once,
my sister generously gave them a pre-determined amount to cover their meals. Vera used
the money to order a lot of appetizers and then
complained how everyone else was eating and
she only had salad and breadsticks. Even when
we have meals at someone’s house, Vera likes

to take all the leftovers, often without asking. I
have a family of five and could use those leftovers, too.
Vic and Vera are not poor, just living beyond
their means. We see them going on trips, but
when it is time to pay their share of a restaurant
bill, they are suddenly broke, waiting for someone to rescue them.
We have offered to make plans after dinner
that don’t involve money, but should we continue to tell them about our restaurant outings?
-- Against Chronic Mooching in Illinois
Dear Illinois: The next time the family
plans to go out for dinner, tell Vic about it, but
make it clear that no one can afford to keep
treating the two of them, and if they don’t think
they can pay their own bill, they might prefer
to join you after dinner. If Vic and Vera come
to the restaurant anyway, none of you should
feel obligated to cover their tab. In fact, we
suggest you discuss this with the other family
members in advance so you can present a united front. Vic and Vera will stop mooching
when you stop allowing it.
Dear Annie: I was interested in the letter
from “Happy in New York.” He’s very understanding for a cross-dresser in that he listened
to his wife and reserves this behavior for when
she is not at home.

I, too, am married to a cross-dresser, and
since he came out to me, our sex life has been
zilch. I have asked him to save his cross-dressing for when I’m not home, but he ignores me.
Worse, he says he doesn’t feel romantic unless
he’s in women’s clothing -- which is a big turnoff to me.
Don’t suggest counseling. He won’t go and
I’ve gone alone. I just wish he were as understanding as “Happy in New York.” -Disappointed Wife
Dear Disappointed: Not all women can
deal with a cross-dressing husband, and yours
sounds particularly inconsiderate. Counseling
really can help if you give it time, although it’s
possible the counselor you originally saw was
not a good match for you. Please try again. You
need ongoing help.

School hostages safe; 17-year-old in custody
By The Chico
Enterpirse-Record
and The Associated Press
OROVILLE - A gunman
who had held hostages at Las
Plumas High School for two
hours Friday surrendered to
authorities. Apparently no one
was injured in the incident.
At about 10:40 a.m. Butte
County sheriff’s officials
announced the student suspect
had been taken into custody.
Immediately prior to his
surrender,
the
gunman
released two female students
from the campus bandroom,
where he had held hostages
since about 8:30 a.m.
At about that time the suspect fired a revolver twice
inside the bandroom.
Initially, he had more than
two dozen hostages, including
at least one teacher.
As the drama unfolded,
Nazarene Church, situated
across a field from Las
Plumas, was used as a gathering place for parents to reunite
with their kids, as well as an
incident command center for
media, law enforcement and
crisis volunteers.
As scores of parents scurried about, one parent, Robert
Roberts, was extremely close
to the situation.
The alleged gunman, 17year-old Greg Wright, is
Roberts' stepson, the tearful
parent said.
Wright’s involvement had
not been confirmed by law
enforcement by 1:30 p.m., but
he had also been identified by
parents of students who were
in the bandroom.
“The school called me,”
Roberts said, as he milled
about in front of the church
along with scores of other parents at about 10:30 a.m. “They
told me to come down in case
there was anything I could do
to help. I heard he had a gun.”
Roberts had yet to speak to
Wright at the time, but
believed his wife and stepdaughter were called in to
help the negotiation team. The
stepdaughter, Tasha Wright, is
a year younger than Greg, and
also goes to Las Plumas,
Roberts said.
“I know he had been in a
little trouble in school, but
I’ve never seen anything like
this,” Roberts said.
Roberts said the boy spent a
few years in Oklahoma before
returning to this area last year.
He said it was his understanding Wright broke up with his
girlfriend a few days ago and
that he was upset about it,
though he couldn’t speculate
that this incident was connected to the breakup.
After hearing news that
Wright was in custody,
Roberts said, “Well, they got
him. Everybody’s safe and
he’s safe.”
Before the gunman was
taken into custody, sheriff’s
officials began negotiating
with the student by telephone.
LP was immediately put into
lockdown and the sheriff’s
SWAT unit deployed.
Over the intervening hours,
the suspect released students
from the bandroom.
A reporter from the
Enterprise-Record reported a
cheer went up from the parents at the Nazarene Church
when word was passed to
them the crisis had ended.
Sheriff’s officials reported
all of the hostages had been
accounted for and there were
no injuries.
Besides LP, both the
Oroville Elementary School
District and the Palermo
School District were also in
lockdown, even though there
were no specific threats in
those locations.
In the classroom
Turbo Her, an 18-year-old
senior who was in the drama
class where the incident took
place, said other students in
the class initially thought it
was a joke. “I said, ’Oh no,
this is a real gun,”’ Her said.
He said the student fired
one shot into the ceiling.
Authorities said at least two
shots were fired from the .22caliber handgun the boy was
carrying.
“The girls were crying and
hysterical,” Her said. “He
wanted to scare them, to let
them know it’s real. The girls
were freaking out.”
Eventually, the student told
his classmates that “anyone
who’s scared can leave,” and
about 26 students left.
Smith said during a press
briefing that three girls were
kept behind in the class, but
authorities did not know why
they were chosen.
Sheriff’s deputies took the
boy for questioning after he
gave up and placed him in
custody at Butte County juvenile hall, where he would
remain at least until his first
court appearance, authorities
said.
He said the boy told students he did not want to hurt
them and just needed to hide
out for a bit. At least two students talked with family members by cell phone while they
were being held hostage, Lt.
Al Smith said.
Candace Carey, 18, said she
was in algebra class next door
to the classroom where students were taken hostage. She
said she and her classmates
crawled out a window to flee.
“My teacher, he could see
the guy with the gun,” she
said.
Kathy Lix, a 16-year-old
senior, said she was in an
English class when she heard
a terse announcement.
“It was just, ’It’s a lockdown; everyone get in your
class,”’ she said. “We had no
idea what was going on.”
She said the substitute
drama teacher came into the
room and told the students
that he had been in the classroom where the hostages were
being held.
“He said the kid pulled out
a gun and then let some of
them leave,” Lix said.
Amanda Saelee, a 15-yearold junior, said her American
history teacher locked the
classroom doors after an
announcement came over the
school loudspeaker warning
students to stay in their classrooms.
“It wasn’t too scary
because there were so many
police” on campus in response
to the incident, she said.
Parents were directed to an
Oroville church to be reunited
with their children, and cars
were backed up for half a mile
leading to the church.
Friday night’s high school
football game was canceled.
Consumer spending up while inflation slows

Inmate Brenda Gallegos holds a jar containing marigold seeds that were harvested from the jail’s organic garden.

they’re allowed to do to pass
the time.
McCartney’s 8-hour-perweek salary is paid for from
the inmate’s welfare fund
which is collected from the
snack foods they buy inside
the jail.
She also teaches nutrition
classes and Sheriff Allman
said he hopes to be able to
expand her hours overall.
Beyond an annual garden,
McCartney has planted citrus
trees that will, it is hoped,
provide oranges, lemons and
limes at the jail.
And, she hopes to make
the jail garden and its greenhouse a propagating center to
provide plants for other community gardens.
Gardening with inmates is
different from other community groups McCartney has
interacted with, in that the
women come and go - and
come and go. Harrington, for
instance, has been working in
the garden for a month, and
has 24 days left in her sentence, while Gallegos has
only worked in the garden a
few days and is due to transfer to a program in Eureka.
For McCartney then, the
process is one of simply
teaching these women what
they need to know to work in
the garden the days they are
there.
And, she notes, while
many women never get to see
the fruits - or, ahem, vegetables - of their labors, sadly
some are back in jail in time
for harvest.
McCartney said many
local people donated to the
garden including Dripworks
in Willits, Beehman’s Blooms
in Boonville, North American
Organics, Frey Vineyards and
the Mendocino Organic
Network.

WASHINGTON
—
Consumers shrugged off sagging home prices and financial market turmoil in August
to push up spending by a better-than-expected amount.
In other good news, a key
inflation gauge showed price
pressures outside of food and
energy eased further last
month and construction activity rose, thanks to continued
strength outside of housing.
The batch of new reports
Friday offered some reassurance that the current economic expansion will not be
derailed by the continued
troubles in housing and the
severe credit crunch that
roiled financial markets last
month. Consumer spending,
which accounts for two-thirds
of total economic activity, is
considered the key to whether
the country avoids a recession.
The
Commerce
Department reported that consumer spending rose by 0.6
percent in August, the best
showing in four months and
better than the 0.4 percent
increase that had been expected. Inflation-adjusted spending was also up 0.6 percent,
the best showing for this measure in 10 months.
“So far, the housing and
credit problems have not dented the consumer’s armor,”
said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic
Advisors. “This was a good
report as household spending
stayed up while inflation
came down.”
An inflation gauge tied to
consumer purchases showed
prices excluding food and
energy rose by just 1.8 percent
in August, compared to a year
ago. That was the slowest
year-over-year price increase
since February 2004. It
marked the third straight
month that core inflation has
been inside the Fed’s comfort
zone of 1 percent to 2 percent
increases.
The Fed last week cut a key
interest rate by a bolder-thanexpected half point in an
effort to ward off a recession,
a reversal from the stance they
took at their previous meeting
in August when they had continued to insist that inflation,
not economic weakness,
remained the economy’s
biggest threat.
While many economists
believe the Fed will cut rates
again in October, some analysts said that reduction may
be a smaller quarter-point
move because the spending
report had shown unexpected
strength.
