Medical marijuana law revision considered
Board of Supervisors
takes no action Tuesday
Act of 1996, was a proposition on the
Nov. 5, 1996 ballot which passed
with 55 percent voter support. The
proposition allows those with a valid
doctor’s recommendation to possess
and cultivate marijuana for personal
medical use.
Passed by the California
Legislature and signed into law in
2003, California Senate Bill 420 set

A proposed change to the county’s
medical marijuana cultivation laws
from the current limit of 25 plants
and two pounds per patient to the
same amount per parcel of land has
been delayed to a future Board of
Supervisors meeting, with no action
taken at Tuesday’s meeting.
California Proposition 215, also
known as the Compassionate Use
See MARIJUANA, Page 16
A short history of the debate
Nov. 5, 1996 -- California Proposition 215, also
known as the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, passed
with 55 percent voter support. The proposition allows
those with a valid doctor’s recommendation to possess
and cultivate marijuana for personal medical use.
Nov. 8, 2000 -- Mendocino County voters approved
Measure G, a resolution calling for the decriminalization of personal use and cultivation of marijuana, by a
vote of 58 percent.
Oct. 12, 2003 -- After being passed by the
California Legislature and signed into law by the gov-
ernor, California Senate Bill 420 set into place the volunteer identification card system currently in use by
patients.
Aug. 7 -- The Mendocino County Board of
Supervisors set a limit of 25 plants and two processed
pounds per person of marijuana for medical use.
Aug. 15 -- By a vote of 3-2, the board refused to
reconsider the limits it set at the previous board meeting.
Tuesday -- The board took no action on a proposed
change from 25 plants and two pounds per person to
the same amount per parcel of land.
Water district goes solar
Redwood Valley
will be state’s first
green water district
The Daily Journal
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
With the installation of
two 100-yard long solar
arrays, Redwood Valley
County Water District will
soon become the first green
water district in California.
“This will run everything,” said Redwood Valley
Water District Chairman
Don Butow.
Power from the solar panels will provide the district’s
ponds, pumps and purification tanks in Redwood
Valley.
Bill Koehler, general
manager for RVCWD, said
between one-quarter and
one-half of all the power in
California is used to move
water.
“Water is heavy,” he said.
The board has been working on getting some kind of
green power generation system in place for two years,
Butow said. Changing rules
at PG&E governing solar
installations lengthened the

Redwood Valley Water District General Manager Bill Koehler, board member Hal Voege and
Chairman Don Butow walk between two rows of 120-foot long infrastructure, which will eventually house an array of solar panels. The water district has had limited out-of-pocket expense
for the project.
If the solar panels can effectively provide energy savings at the pumps in Redwood Valley, a similar system
could be installed at the district’s pumps at Lake Mendocino.

Arrest made
in stabbing
Renovation at college gets under way
By ZACK SAMPSEL

The Daily Journal
On Tuesday, the Mendocino County
Sheriff’s
Office
arrested
Pete
Kavanaugh, the 21-year-old Point Arena
man wanted on suspicion of attempted
murder in the Monday night stabbing of
Point Arena resident Uriah Rios.
According to sheriff’s reports, Rios
was walking in the area of Maime Leiwa
Drive at around 8:30 p.m. Monday when
he was allegedly confronted by
Kavanaugh and one other man. A fight
ensued and Rios was stabbed twice in
the back.
Rios fled his attackers and was found
by two people who took him to the Point
Arena Health Center from where he was
flown to Ukiah Valley Medical Center
for treatment.
Investigation led deputies to center on
Kavanaugh as their suspect. He was
arrested at around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday on
suspicion of attempted murder and
booked into the Mendocino County Jail
on a $250,000 bond.
The United States Bureau of Land
Management is offering a $500
reward for anyone who can provide
information that leads to the conviction of the person who dumped 1,000
gallons of petroleum product in a
drainage culvert on south Cow
Mountain last month.
“During the week of October 29,
someone dumped at least 1,000 gallons of fluid into a culvert,” said Rich
Burns, field manager for the BLM’s
Ukiah field office. “It’s going to cost
more than $6,000 to clean up the
mess and dispose of the contaminated
soil.”
The fluid was dumped just east of
the Cow Mountain staging area off
Mill Creek Road.
Burns said the material is probably
transmission fluid but said chemical
analysis is pending.
The drainage ditch the fluid was
dumped into drains into Scott’s Creek
which eventually drains in Clear
Lake.
So far, silt buildup in the culvert
has stopped the fluid from spreading
too far, but Burns said BLM needs to
remove the contaminated soil before
it begins to rain.
Burns said anyone with information on the illegal dumping should
contact the BLM Ukiah field office at
468-4000.

David Williams, of Ukiah Construction,
reframes the doors to what will become
the new Financial Aid Office at the
Mendocino College Campus. The construction, a Measure W project, began
Wednesday.
With a motto for its
Measure W program being
“Opening doors to student
success,” Mendocino College
did exactly that Wednesday,
as workers from Ukiah
Construction began tearing
down doors inside MacMillan
Hall as part of the reconstruction to the Student Services
Offices -- scheduled to open
in January.
“We’re excited about the
renovation as it will allow
these programs to be more
visible, and offer one-stop
accessibility for multiple student services,” said Donald
Moore, dean of Student
Services. “We are trying to
open up these offices to make
them more inviting. We are
really excited about creating a
single location for our work
experience, career and transfer programs to better serve
students.”
The MacMillan Hall con-
What’s next?
▲Construction
inside
MacMillan Hall is
expected to continue
throughout the rest of
the semester and
through
Christmas
break. Following construction, the offices
are expected to open in
January.
struction is budgeted for
$300,000, and comes as one
of the more than 30 construction projects included in the
now-$95 million Measure W
bond program, which was
passed in the November 2006
election.
Just as the sound of hammers and nails from the reroofing project had begun to
cease, the heavy-duty sounds
of hammers, nails and drill
guns are filling the halls of
MacMillan Hall -- where most
of the construction is taking
place. The hall is home to the
registrar’s office, among others, but, with the idea of consolidating services in mind,
some new offices will be calling MacMillan Hall home in
January.
The
Financial
Aid,
Extended
Opportunities
Programs and Services and
CalWORKs programs are
located in the Lowery Library
building, but will be relocating to remodeled offices this
winter. The Career Center,
Transfer Center and Native
American Outreach, located
in Room 1000, along with
Work Experience in Room
1010 will relocate into the
remodeled Room 1200.

The world briefly
Bush tells Musharraf to hold free
elections and drop his military title
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush, personally intervening in the political crisis in Pakistan, told President Pervez
Musharaff on Wednesday he must hold parliamentary elections
soon and step down as army leader.
“You can’t be the president and the head of the military at the
same time,” Bush said, describing a 20-minute telephone call
with Musharraf. “I had a very frank discussion with him.”
It was Bush’s first contact with Musharraf since he declared
emergency rule on Saturday and granted sweeping powers to
authorities to crush political dissent.
Bush revealed the call to Musharraf during an appearance
with the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, at George
Washington’s home in Mount Vernon, Va.
For several days, the White House has faced questions about
why Bush was taking a relatively soft line on the crackdown
and had not spoken directly to Musharraf, whom Bush has
called a friend he trusts.

Police were analyzing YouTube postings that appeared to
anticipate the massacre, including clips in which a young man
calls for revolution and apparently prepares for the attack by
test firing a semiautomatic handgun.
Investigators said the gunman, who was not identified, shot
himself in the head after the shooting spree at Jokela High
School in Tuusula, some 30 miles north of the capital, Helsinki.
He died later at Toolo Hospital in Helsinki.
The teen killed five boys, two girls and the female principal
with a .22-caliber pistol, police said, adding that about a dozen
more people were injured while fleeing the school. Officials
said more than 400 students ages 12 through 18 were enrolled.
Witnesses described a scene of mayhem at the school in this
leafy lakeside community, saying the shooter prowled the building looking for victims while shouting slogans for “revolution.”
Bush and French president voice unified
opposition to a nuclear-armed Iran
MOUNT VERNON, Va. (AP) — President Bush and French
President Nicolas Sarkozy stood shoulder-to-shoulder against a
nuclear-armed Iran on Wednesday, demonstrating the cozier
relationship between the two countries under France’s new conservative leader.
Bush said agreement on Iran was a hallmark of their talks
here at the Virginia home of George Washington. He said they
expressed “the desire to work jointly to convince the Iranian
regime to give up their nuclear weapons ambitions for the sake
of peace.”
“It is unacceptable for Iran at any point to have a nuclear
weapon,” said Sarkozy. He said, “I believe even in the need to
toughen” United Nations sanctions now leveled against Tehran
for continuing to enrich uranium.
Although some suspect Bush of leading a march toward war
to stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, the U.S. president
Credit concerns grow;
financial stocks drop
By TIM PARADIS
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK — Wall
Street suffered its second big
drop in a week Wednesday,
with investors worried about
spreading fallout from the
credit crisis at banks and
about a dollar that just keeps
getting weaker. The Dow
Jones industrial average fell
more than 360 points — just
about matching its pullback of
last Thursday.
A passel of worries tormented investors, including
comments by New York
Attorney General Andrew
Cuomo about conflicts of
interest in the mortgage industry that exacerbated declines
among bank stocks.
Meanwhile, the dollar
swooned amid speculation
that China will seek to diversify some of its foreign currency stockpiles beyond the
greenback
and
General
Motors Corp. further dampened sentiment by posting a
record loss tied to an accounting adjustment.
Oil hit a record, rising
above $98 per barrel before
retreating, and gold pushed
higher, moves exacerbated by
an anemic dollar.
The fear with a huge drop
like Wednesday’s is whether it
is part not just of a correction,
which is a 10 percent pullback
in stock prices, but that it
could be the beginning of a
bear market. With the huge
volatility that has swept Wall
Street since the summer, and
triple-digit moves in the Dow
becoming commonplace, no
one can be sure.
Still, the concern on the
Street is that the extent of the
fallout from the credit market
crisis that has led to billions of
dollars in losses for major
banks and investment firms is
not yet known. With
Citigroup Inc. announcing
Sunday it needed to take an
additional $8 billion to $11
billion
in
writedowns,
investors are very uneasy not
just about stocks, but the
economy as a whole.
“The financials are the
bodyguards of the market and
when the bodyguards are taking shots then the market
can’t do well,” said David
Darst, chief investment strategist for Morgan Stanley’s
global wealth management
group.
“A lot of the bad stuff is
known; what the markets are
worrying about is the
unknown,” Darst said.
The Dow fell 360.92, or
2.64 percent, to 13,300.02.
The Dow, which had gained
117 points on Tuesday, had
fallen 362.14 last Thursday,
reflecting the extreme fractiousness on Wall Street these
days. It was the third time in a
month the blue chip index has
dropped by more than 350
points, and leaves the Dow up
6.71 percent for the year.
Broader stock indicators
also pulled back Wednesday.
The Standard & Poor’s 500
index fell 44.65, or 2.94 percent, to 1,475.62 — moving
below the 1,500 benchmark.
The Nasdaq composite index
fell 76.42, or 2.70 percent, to
2,748.76. For the year, the
S&P 500 is up 4.04 percent,
while the Nasdaq is up 13.81
percent.
The Russell 2000 index of
smaller companies fell 25.81,
or 3.22 percent, to 775.96.
A drop in the NYSE composite index proved steep
enough to trigger trading
curbs, which puts restrictions
on certain kinds of sell orders
and are meant to help stabilize
the market.
Government bonds jumped
as investors transferred
money from stocks to fixedincome investments. The
yield on the 10-year Treasury
note, which moves opposite
its price, fell to 4.34 percent
from 4.37 percent late
Tuesday. It was down to 4.30
percent in after-hours trading.
said the diplomatic course is his preferred choice.
“The idea of Iran having a nuclear weapon is dangerous, and
therefore now is the time for us to work together to diplomatically solve this problem,” Bush said.
Pat Robertson backs Rudy Giuliani’s
bid for the GOP presidential nomination
WASHINGTON (AP) — Televangelist Pat Robertson,
founder of the Christian Coalition, endorsed Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday.
“It is my pleasure to announce my support for America’s
Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, a proven leader who is not afraid of what
lies ahead and who will cast a hopeful vision for all
Americans,” Robertson said during a news conference with
Giuliani in Washington.
The former New York mayor backs abortion rights and gay
rights, positions that put him in conflict with conservative GOP
orthodoxy, and has been trying to persuade evangelical conservatives like Robertson to overlook their differences on those
issues.

Fun and fantastic
family photographs
This photog will be heading
back East for turkey day in a
couple of weeks.
When I think of a visit to our
10-acre farm near Buffalo, NY,
I think of the flock of Canada
geese in the back fields picking
at leftover corn, the deer that
come up the path each morning
and the towering silo I used to
climb up to get a view of the
land. I also think about the
many family photos we have
taken on the farm over the
years.
Each year, we would choose
a spot that we all agreed was
one of our favorites. Our last
family pic was snapped more
than four years ago. Being the
youngest, I got hoisted up sideways with each family member
holding me from head to toe.
We all giggled about the pose
and that showed in our photo. It
was more than a family photo,
it was a family moment.
Thanksgiving is a pefect
holiday for family reunions and
family poses. Here are some
tips on making the most of this
family photo opportunity:

Roaring 20th - 20 years on the move
By CAROLE HESTER
Special for the Journal
“Roaring 20th - 20 Years on the
Move” is the 20th anniversary of the
Mendocino College Repertory Dance
Company and performances are Friday,
Nov. 16 and Saturday, Nov. 17 at 8 p.m.,
and Sunday, Nov. 18 at 2 p.m. at
Mendocino College Center Theatre,
1000 Hensley Creek Road, Ukiah.
This diverse group of dancers hails
from Willits, Lake County and
Mendocino County. Leslie Saxon West
first founded the Mendocino College
Repertory Dance Company in 1987.
Since that time the company has grown
in numbers and support. It has become a
community treasure and is one of
Mendocino College’s most noteworthy
programs.
The history of the Company and its’
initial dozen or so dancers has been varied. Some of the dancers from the early
years are returning for this production,
dancing parts from favorite numbers.
“We are presenting our strongest and
most memorable dances from the past
20 years,” explained Saxon West.
Two productions of which Saxon
West is most proud are “Behind the
Masks,” performed in fall 2003, an
evening-length piece that celebrated the
art and culture of the Native peoples of
the Pacific Northwest Coast; and
“Metamorphoses,” performed in the fall
of 2006. This production was Mary
Zimmerman’s contemporary adaptation
of Ovid’s ancient myths that was done in
and around a large pool of water built on
the Mendocino College stage. The production was written as a play, but
Mendocino College added dance -- the
first Company to do so.
Strong in the memory of avid dance
enthusiasts were other memorable
moments: Vivaldi’s “Gloria” in the Fall
of 2000, a collaboration with Ukiah
Symphony and the Mendocino College
Masterworks Chorale, and Leonard
Bernstein’s “MASS” in the Spring of
1998.
The Company will be doing excerpts
from “Behind the Masks,”
Metamorphoses” and “Gloria,” as well
as many other dances.
“Veteran and current company members will dance together in the finale of
the show, symbolizing a passing of the
torch. Many of the dances presented in
this production are introspective, some
silly, and others are just visually stunning,” added Saxon West.
Advance ticket sales: Mendocino

General tickets are $12 and $10 for
seniors, ASB cardholders and children

Company make up for this year’s performance of 26 dancers is unique.
Veteran dancers who will be dancing:
From Willits, Janet Orth; from the Ukiah
Valley, are Leslie Saxon West, Susan
Era, Pat Meek, Theresa Hanson, Serena
Miller and Lynda Coursey. Past company members who will be traveling to
perform in this show are: Nori Dolan --
Santa Cruz; Suzette Stiles Slaughter -San Francisco; Lila Buckley -- Beijing,
China; Wendy Peterman, Corvallis,
Oregon.
Current company members are: Ivory
Reid, Kirsten Turner, Katie Hardy, Gilly
Platt, Miriam McNamara, Jason Briseno,
Sam Fulk, Tamara Frey, Maria Frei,
Amanda Rosenberg, Stephanie Paige,
Maya Segal, Yvonne Seibel, Jessica
Flynn and Sarah Furnish.
In the past 20 years the dance company has built a repertoire of dances and
dance events, the strongest and most
memorable of which will be highlighted
in this years show. In addition to including excerpts from “Behind the Masks”
and “Metamorphoses,” one memorable
dance is “Cocoon,” choreographed by
Jenna Byrne.
“Cocoon” is a stunning dance done
with six women dancing among long
pieces of silk that hang from above. It is
certainly one of our most visually memorable pieces and we are looking forward to it gracing our stage one more
time,” said Saxon West. Another memorable dance being performed is
“Picatso,” a dance about Saxon West’s
cat! This cartoon like dance, which consists of a huge cat with moving parts,
was designed and painted by noted artist
and college art instructor, Paula Gray.
Children, old and young, love this
dance!
Tickets will also be for sale at the
door if they are available. For more

Letters from our readers
Opposed to proposed mall
To the Editor:
I do appreciate your covering the current
controversial efforts by developers to
rezone the Masonite property. I only wish
that you would stick to the facts, not
rumors and innuendo.
One fact I know after attending almost
all the County’s workshops on the UVAP is
that the majority of the residents of Ukiah
want to retain our small town atmosphere.
The consensus was also that a “Big Box”
retail development at Masonite would ruin
any chance of that happening.
Another fact that I know is that three of
our supervisors chose to ignore what residents of Ukiah wanted and begin the
process that could lead to the rezoning of
the Masonite property.
Finally although not a fact yet, I am confident that the voters in Mendocino County
will not stand for this next year.

Thank you
To the Editor:
I would like to say thank you to everyone. To those who brought flowers, food,
helped with the serving of food, setting up
and taking down of the tables at DFM, the
set up of all the televisions so that we could
run the DVDs of Brian’s life, and those
who made the DVDs. You are all so appreciated, my words are not enough to express
how I feel.
I would like to express an additional
thanks to Bob Reed from dfm, my sister
Carol, Victoria from the Ukiah Daily
Journal and to Jason Howard also from
DFM for putting together the very special
memories of Brian for us all and especially
for me Lori. To the Ukiah Daily Journal:
also thanks so much for the help putting
together my husband’s obituary.
Many of you offered words of comfort
and hugs to my family and to me. Your
words of condolence, your offers of help,
all meant so much to me. I have discovered
so many friends that I didn’t even know I
had. You were there for us and I really
appreciate each and every one of you.
Brian would have been so appreciative of
all the help and comfort you gave me. We
will all miss him!
As I continue to go through this period
of mourning, it is wonderful to know that
you are there for us. Thank you so much
for your thoughtfulness.

GOFFSTOWN, N. H. -- The strangest thing about
John McCain's campaign for president is that it's supposed to be dead, but it isn't. This is a real nuisance for
his competitors.
The comeback is not showy or dramatic. And it's
true that while McCain is better off than he was in July
when his campaign imploded in a dazzling display of
financial mismanagement and staff recriminations, he
still faces a more difficult route to nomination than his
well-financed rivals, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney.
McCain himself, the overwhelming favorite a year
ago, is cheerfully humble in characterizing his standing. "We've got a long way to go, but we are in the
mix," he said Sunday on CNN's "Late Edition." In the
mix is a big improvement over being out.
Nationally, McCain got a boost last weekend when
a new Washington Post-ABC News Poll showed him
in second place to Giuliani. The former New York
City mayor had 33 percent; McCain, 19 percent; and
the stalled Fred Thompson, 16 percent. Romney, who
leads in both Iowa and New Hampshire, came in at 11
percent and Mike Huckabee had 9 percent.
The most interesting numbers are those of
Huckabee and McCain. The former is finally being
taken seriously not only by the press, but also by
Republican voters. McCain rose from just 12 percent
a month ago.
Thompson's sluggishness has been a form of lifesupport for McCain.
Nowhere more so than in New Hampshire, which
McCain took by storm seven years ago against George
W. Bush. This state's Jan. 8 primary only recently
looked to be Romney's launching pad to national stardom -- or Giuliani's opportunity to finish off Romney.
Now Romney and Giuliani have to calculate how
McCain might figure in their plans.
The mood of McCain's loyalists here combines
relief with that certain restrained glee that comes from
walking away in one piece from a car wreck.
Jim Barnett, the candidate's New Hampshire state
director, traces McCain's local comeback to his strong
debate performance in early September and his
renewed emphasis on the freewheeling town meeting
formats that made him so many friends in this state.
Barnett points to a moment during a mid-October
gathering in Hopkinton where McCain confronted a
questioner who spoke of the "anger the average
European Christian, native-born American feels when
they see their country turning into a multicultural
chaos Tower of Babel."
McCain has tried to appease conservative critics of
his support for a path to citizenship for undocumented
immigrants by stressing the need to secure the nation's
borders first. His new stance, he says, reflects "a lesson learned about what the American people's priorities are."
But at the Hopkinton meeting, McCain was his old,
combative self. He condemned his interlocutor's language and declared he was "grateful to live in a nation
that has been enriched by people coming to our nation
from around the world." The applause, Barnett recalls
with pride, "went on for a long time."
Yet there is also cold calculation on the part of
Republicans who are giving McCain a second look.
Their challenge is to find a candidate who can broaden the party's currently anemic appeal while still holding it together.
Giuliani says he is that man, and he has stepped up
his campaigning in a state whose libertarian streak
makes his support for abortion rights less toxic. At a
news conference following a speech at the New
Hampshire Institute of Politics, Giuliani stressed his
ability to turn the GOP into "a 50-state party" and
argued that voters who didn't like his abortion views
would definitely like the judges he would appoint.
McCain, on the other hand, has always been an
abortion foe. His campaign argues that he can appeal
outside Republican ranks without alienating pro-life
voters, as Giuliani would. Conservative voters are
paying attention.
Still, both McCain and Giuliani need to overcome
Romney's lead here, built by intensive television
advertising and extensive, New Hampshire-style personal campaigning. Tom Rath, a key local adviser to
Romney, thinks McCain "has done a great job" in
rebuilding his standing, but sees a ceiling on the
Arizona senator's support. "It's difficult for McCain to
give voters new information about himself," Rath
said, "since they already know him so well." McCain's
strong endorsement of the Iraq War is also hurting
him among independent voters, the backbone of his
2000 movement.
That McCain is still standing is a credit to his persistence. But it is also a symptom of the anxieties and
misgivings among Republican voters over the choices
they confront in this dark time for their party.

MCT’s to run
‘Quartet’ through Dec. 2
Ronald Harwood’s comedy “Quartet,”
directed by Betty Abramson and sponsored by
Rossi’s Building Materials, fills the final slot
in the Mendocino Theatre Company’s season,
opening Nov. 1 and running for 20 performances through Dec. 2.
Quartet tells the story of four retired opera
singers, played by MTC veteran actors Dan
Kozloff, Ann Woodhead, Ruby Bell Sherpa
and David Woolis, who find themselves at a
retirement home for musicians.
When they’re asked to reprise their roles as
the “Quartet” in the famous opera Rigoletto for
the home’s annual celebration of Guiseppe
Verdi’s birthday, the play becomes a celebration of friendship, love, music, opera, aging
and Guiseppe Verdi.
Quartet will run Thursdays through Sundays

Los Angeles Angels admit they’d
love Alex Rodriguez
By RONALD BLUM
AP Baseball Writer
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Los
Angeles Angels are baseball’s exception: They openly admit they’d love to
sign Alex Rodriguez.
The Angels had a meet-and-greet
with A-Rod’s agent, Scott Boras, at
the general managers’ meetings. The
New York Mets also spoke with Boras
but won’t say whether they’re in or
out of the competition.
Tony Reagins, who just took over
as the Angels’ GM, had glowing
words for A-Rod.
“We had an initial conversation
with Scott, and it was introductory,”
he said Wednesday. “He probably
makes any team that he’s a part of better.”
Reagins said if talks progressed, the
Angels would welcome a chance to
speak with Rodriguez. Reagins
acknowledged marketing, as well as
baseball skills, would play a role in a
decision to sign A-Rod.
“In this day and age, I think that is
a part of it,” he said.
While the Mets have the cash to
sign Rodriguez, they haven’t committed to making an offer. Likely to win
his third AL MVP award, Rodriguez is
expected to sign a deal topping the
record $252 million, 10-year contract
“He probably makes any
team that he’s a part of
better.”
the Texas Rangers gave him before the
2001 season. Before A-Rod opted out
of that agreement, Boras told the New
York Yankees they had to offer $350
million just to get a meeting with the
third baseman.
Other possible destinations are
thought to include the Boston Red

Golden State Warriors's Andris Biedrins, center, struggles against Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James, left, and Aleksandar
Pavlovic as they wait for the the rebound during the first half at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., on Tuesday Nov. 6, 2007.
By GREG BEACHAM
Associated Press
OAKLAND — The water-saturated stat sheet
floated between LeBron James’ shins as he
soaked his feet in the ice bath. Lifting one
swollen eyelid, he could just make out his numbers: 24 points, 14 rebounds, nine assists and
three big blocked shots.
Yet the most eye-popping parts of James’ allout effort in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 108-104
victory over the Golden State Warriors on
Tuesday night weren’t reflected in that soggy box
score.
For starters, James took an
accidental blow to the face in
the first quarter, but barely
missed 90 seconds before
returning. He barked orders at
his teammates with authority,
and he demanded a fourthquarter defensive assignment
on Baron Davis.
And when the Warriors
triple-teamed him with the
game on the line, James got
what coach Mike Brown
termed “the big hockey
assist,” making the pass that
led to the pass that set up the
shot that won it for Cleveland.
James already has a place among the NBA’s
elite, yet he’s still growing — and his latest sublime performance was a sight for a sore eye.
“It bothered me some, and it’s bothering me
now, but I had to be there for my teammates,”
said James, who fell just shy of his 11th career
triple-double. “If I could barely see, I still had to
be out there.”
Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 22 points and 13
rebounds for the short-handed Eastern
Conference champions, who kept the Warriors
winless with a calm finish on their third victory in
their last four trips to Golden State.
Cleveland went up 103-98 with 1:03 left after

Time to start blaming coaches and
teams, too, for steroid use in sports
By TIM DAHLBERG
AP Sports Columnist
A few days before the
official word came out, the
reports
were
that
Jacksonville
lineman
Marcus Stroud would be
suspended for steroids.
Coach Jack Del Rio wasn’t
going to talk about that, but
he did allow that Stroud had
been good for the team.
“There aren’t many guys
that are 310 pounds and can
run the way he can run and
make plays sideline to sideline,” Del Rio said.
No there aren’t, and
there aren’t many guys who
can steal 30 bases and hit
450-foot home runs off
curveballs that are down
and away. And there aren’t
many women who can run
the 100 meters under 11
seconds and long jump 24
feet.
There’s a reason for that.
Not everyone is juiced.
It may seem like that at
times, but my guess is that
there must be some clean
players in sports. I can only
offer anecdotal evidence,
such as David Wells or John
Daly, but it seems the cock-
But if coaches and teams
had their way there wouldn’t be any center fielders
who can’t throw the ball
back to the mound. There
wouldn’t be any pitchers
who couldn’t hit at least 90

wouldn’t be any linebackers who couldn’t run the 40
under 4.5 seconds and then
tackle someone with just
one arm.
Because they’re all
enablers for the most part.
And that’s the big reason
why baseball and football
can’t rid their sports of
cheats no matter how hard
the leagues might try.
Marion Jones lies about
using steroids, her gold
medals are stripped and a
prison cell looms. Sprinter
Kelli White is caught using
steroids and never runs
competitively again.
Floyd Landis is stripped
of his Tour de France title
and will limit his bike riding to going to the store.
Contrast that to what
happened when Paul Byrd
admitted before Game 7 of
the AL championship series
that he had used HGH — an
admission that came only
after the San Francisco
Chronicle reported he spent
nearly $25,000 on the drug
and syringes over a period
See DAHLBERG, Page 7
A-Rod seeking $30
million + per year
After opting out of his New
York Yankees’ contract on the eve
of the Red Sox sweeping away the
Rockies in the World Series, Alex
Rodriguez and his agent Scott
Boras will be seeking a free agent
deal potentially surpassing $300
million in total.
The ridiculous thing is they
believe that they will get that, not
so much the astronomical figure
itself.
Boras, citing A-Rod’s “market
value” as he put it (simply that ARod’s net worth to a franchise in
bringing in fans and media deals
over a potential 10 year period
would be worth in excess of a billion dollars), believes that A-Rod
can get a 10-year deal at $35 million per year.
The problem with that logic is
simple economics, the law of supply and demand. Yes, the supply is
low on A-Rod’s and not necessarily much higher in free agent third
basemen, but what is the demand?
Here, is where I think Boras is
overestimating the market.
The demand for A-Rod at 20-25
million a year is far different than
what it will be at 30-35 million.
On top of that, they have cut out
the team that would’ve driven up
the asking price -- the Yankees.
You have to keep in mind that at
that level of money per season, a
team is going to have to have a
payroll at least three times what
they will be offering Rodriguez
and only ten or so teams fill that
requirement.
The early word on his potential
suitors are Angels, Dodgers,
Orioles, Cubs, Tigers, Red Sox,
and Marlins (which is almost
laughable).
To be honest, I don’t see him
getting more than his previous $25
million a year for 6-8 years equating to a $200 million contract at
maximum.
Looks like Rodriguez and
Boras could’ve made a very bad
miscalculation but it’ll be interested to find out at the very least, so
stay tuned.
Cabrera being
shopped by Marlins
Twenty-four year old third
baseman, Miguel Cabrera, of the
Florida Marlins is on the trading
block according to sources at the
GM meetings.
The fiscally tight Marlins have
long been known to deal star players as they approach free agency
(Cabrera’s deal expires at the end
of the 2009 season) rather than
spend the big bucks that it would
most likely take to keep them.
They faced a similar situation
with P Josh Beckett two years ago
and sought SS Hanley Ramirez
and acquired him from the Red
Sox. Ramirez, in two short seasons
has already blossomed into one of
the game’s premier young stars. It
has been reported that the asking
price for Cabrera will be similarly
steep as well as it should be for a
player that has career numbers that
rival A-Rod’s thru the same point
in time -- three blue chip
prospects, one being a pitcher.

Sox, Chicago Cubs and
Detroit Tigers. All those
teams say that they’re not
interested at this point.
Other big names in the
news on the next-to-last day
of the four-day gathering
included Miguel Cabrera,
Roger Clemens, Tom Glavine
and Kenny Rogers.
The final day of the annual
meetings, GMs were to discuss whether first- and thirdbase coaches should wear helmets. Mike Coolbaugh, a
first-base coach for the
Colorado Rockies’ minor
league team in Tulsa, was
killed in July when he was
struck on the head by a line
drive during a game.
On Tuesday, each general
manager stood up during their
meeting and stated what their
offseason goals were. Many
mentioned specific players
they were making available.
The idea was suggested by
Boston’s Theo Epstein and
Florida’s Larry Beinfest, cochairs of this year’s meeting.
“Usually it takes a while to
be able to reach all 29 other
teams and hear what they’re
trying to do. This increased
our efficiency tremendously.
It saves us all a lot of time,”
Epstein said. “Some teams
were specific. Some were
more guarded.”
Cabrera is the first big
name being dangled. He’ll
make more than $10 million
next season, too expensive for
the Marlins to retain. Having
lost A-Rod, the Yankees need
a third baseman but team
executive Hank Steinbrenner
was clear on what New York
won’t do.
“It’s pretty obvious which
players we’re not going to
trade,” he said, before rattling
off the team’s most-prized
young
pitchers.
“Chamberlain, Hughes and
even Kennedy. Not for a position player.”
For now, when other teams
inquire, Joba Chamberlain,
Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy
aren’t available.
Hughes, just 21, showed
poise and overpowering pitches, even while slowed by
hamstring and ankle injuries
that sidelined him for much of
the season. Chamberlain, 22,
was instant electricity and on
many nights unhittable as
Mariano Rivera’s setup man
Dahlberg
of years.
Byrd’s punishment came
Tuesday when the Cleveland
Indians agreed to pay him
$7.5 million to pitch for them
next year.
“It was a decision we are
very comfortable with,” said
Indians general manger Mark
Shapiro, who made sure to
note Byrd’s contribution as a
club leader and his involvement in the community.
The message from that,
apparently, is that if your
teammates like you and you
visit a children’s hospital a
few times you can take anything you want and still be
generously rewarded for it.
Too bad that doesn’t work
anymore in track and field
because Jones could have
saved herself years of lying
and a stretch in the pen.
Byrd, who claimed the
HGH was properly prescribed
and used to treat “very low”
hormone readings, promised
to tell all after the LCS was
over. He hasn’t yet, maybe
because it’s kind of hard to
explain why a dentist would
write one of the prescriptions,
as the Chronicle reported.
The Indians aren’t alone in
their largesse to tainted players. At one point this spring I
thought owner Arte Moreno
was going to do the right thing
and tell Gary Matthews Jr. he
couldn’t play for the Los
Angeles Angels until he
fessed up to what he did with
his HGH.
I was wrong.
Moreno postured a bit, then
allowed Matthews to earn the
first $10 million of his $50
million contract while still
hiding behind a belated —
and not very believable —
statement that he never took
the drugs he ordered.
Not sure what the message
down the stretch. Kennedy,
who turns 23 next month, was
polished and resembled a
young Mike Mussina in three
September starts.
“I’ve been tested on those
guys this week, and obviously
the summer during the (trade)
deadline, and I’ll continue to
be tested on it,” general manager Brian Cashman said. “I
know that all three of those
guys, the 29 other clubs would
have no problems pitching at
least one of them if not all of
them in their rotations.”
Atlanta said it would like to
bring back Tom Glavine after
a five-year absence. New general manager Frank Wren
spoke with the two-time Cy
Young Award winner and his
agent, Gregg Clifton, and
Wren intends to call again
next week, after teams can
start making offers to free
agents.
Glavine, a left-hander who
turns 42 in March, spent his
first 16 major league seasons
with Atlanta, then pitched for
the New York Mets for five
years. He lives in suburban
Atlanta and was hoping to get
an offer from the Braves after
the 2006 season. Atlanta
never made an offer, and he
agreed Dec. 1 to re-sign with
the Mets.
“It wasn’t that we weren’t
interested. It was just the timing of when Tom had to make
a decision and when we could
make a decision based on our
roster and our payroll and
where we were at the time,”
Wren said. “We have flexibility this year to be more active
in both the trade market and
the free-agent market.”
Rogers, a left-hander who
turns 43 on Saturday, wants to
return to Detroit for a third
season.
“Kenny will pitch in 2008,
and we are currently in negotiations with the Tigers,”
Boras said.
Clemens, who is 45, is
ready to join the Houston
Astros — as a consultant. In a
sign Clemens’ pitching career
could be over, his agent sent
an e-mail to Drayton McLane
informing the owner the
seven-time Cy Young Award
winner is set to start his personal-services contract with
the team on Jan. 1.
“He’s moving toward
retirement and leaving open
the possibility of playing,”
agent Randy Hendricks said.
“As Roger has stated several
times, he’s failed at retirement
repeatedly.”
there was, other than the
Angels needed a center fielder.
Likewise, little has been
heard from the St. Louis
Cardinals over Rick Ankiel’s
involvement with HGH, and
the Toronto Blue Jays haven’t
said anything negative about
Troy Glaus. Matt Williams is
just a broadcaster for the
Arizona Diamondbacks now,
but that didn’t stop the team’s
president from saying nice
things about him despite his
reported purchase of HGH.
And Seattle Mariners president Chuck Armstrong said
he continues to “admire and
respect” Jose Guillen even
though the Chronicle reported
he bought a veritable smorgasbord of performanceenhancing drugs over the
years.
Four games from now Del
Rio and the Jaguars will welcome Stroud back as if nothing ever happened. The rest
might even be good for his
surgically repaired ankle as
Jacksonville makes a bid for
the playoffs.
And you can never have
too many 310-pounders who
make plays sideline to sideline.
Rodney Harrison, meanwhile, returned to cheers from
Bill Belichick and Shawne
Merriman remains the big
man on campus in San Diego.
Four-game suspensions
mean nothing in the NFL.
Baseball’s testing is filled
with holes, and HGH use
appears to be rampant in both
sports.
You can’t simply blame the
players since they know they
don’t have all that much to
lose.
They know their coaches
and teams will always have
their backs.

Kiffin vows to kick to dangerous Bears returner Hester
By JOSH DUBOW
Associated Press
ALAMEDA — After
watching most teams kick the
ball away from Devin Hester
all season, Chicago Bears
linebacker Brian Urlacher was
a little surprised to hear that
Oakland Raiders coach Lane
Kiffin planned to challenge
the NFL’s best returner.
“Serious? Punts and kickoffs? It will be fun then,”
Urlacher said Wednesday on a
conference call with Bay Area
reporters. “I can’t wait to
watch. The last few games he
hasn’t gotten many opportunities but when he does, he definitely takes advantage of
them. So, I’m excited to hear
that,
it
should
give us a
little boost
there.”

they can

Radio: 560 AM
Hester,
who has
nine returns for touchdowns
in less than two full seasons in
the NFL. Hester is so dangerous at returning kicks and
punts that teams often prefer
to kick the ball out of bounds
just to keep him from having a
chance at pulling off another
highlight-reel return.
Kiffin said “it’s no fun to
kick out of bounds,” and he
wanted to test his special
teams on Sunday against a
player he called perhaps the
best punt returner ever to play
the game.
Whether
that’s
just
pregame bluster or his actual
strategy won’t be known until
Sunday.
“We would definitely welcome
that
philosophy,”
Chicago coach Lovie Smith
said. “Does he mean it? Most
teams haven’t kicked to him. I
can understand why you’ll get
a guy that would say, ’Hey, he
puts on his shoes just like
everyone else. We’re going to
kick the ball to him. We don’t
like what’s happened so far.
We need to change the
tempo.’ If I was on the other
side of the field, I would kick
the ball to Devin Hester.”
That’s easy for Smith to
say. He doesn’t have to defend
Hester.
Oakland struggled early
stopping returns, but has
improved in recent weeks
now that Isaiah Ekejiuba is
healthy and Jarrod Cooper is
back from a suspension. Now
they get their stiffest test yet
and they’re happy about the
confidence their coach is
showing in the coverage units.
“I’m glad because I would
have been mad at him if he
would have said, ’Hey, I don’t
think you guys could do it.
I’m not kicking it to him,”’
Cooper said. “We respect
Devin Hester just like everyone else does but you don’t
turn your whole game plan
upside down. You don’t play
somebody scared. You respect
them but you don’t play them
scared.”
Hester’s nine special teams
return touchdowns are already
tied for fourth most in NFL
history,
trailing
Brian
Mitchell (13), Dante Hall and
Eric Metcalf (12 each). That
doesn’t even count his kickoff
return to open the Super Bowl
against Indianapolis last season.
His 19.6-yard punt return
average this season would be
the highest in the NFL since
Jack Christiansen averaged
21.5 yards per return in 1952
for Detroit.
One thing that makes
Hester so successful, according to Cooper, is that opposing teams are so worried
“We respect Devin
Hester just like everyone else does but
you don’t turn your
whole game plan
upside down. You
don’t play somebody
scared. You respect
them but you don’t
play them scared.
”
-- Raiders LB Jarrod
Cooper
WEEK 10:
about avoiding the big play
that they sometimes are too
tentative on their coverage.
With a player with the speed
and vision like Hester’s, that
makes him almost impossible
to stop.
“I watched tape after tape
and people were breaking
down, not taking shots,”
Cooper said. “All you’re
doing is helping him out. Like
I said, I have mad respect for
him as a player but we have to
attack him like anybody else.
... If you hesitate for a minute,
you’re going to be watching
him and getting his autograph
after the game.”
Hester impacts the game
whether teams kick to him or
not. The Bears’ average start
after kickoffs is the 32-yard
line, third best in the NFL.
The Raiders are in the middle
of the pack on kick coverage,
ranking 13th in the league by
allowing teams to start at the
26.
One thing the Raiders do
have is a kicker who can reach
the end zone easily. Sebastian
Janikowski has sent 23 of his
35 kickoffs into the end zone,
with a league-leading 18
being downed for touchbacks.
The Bears have received only
five kicks all season in the end
zone, with just one going for a
touchback.
“If he’s going to bring it
out, he’s going to bring it
out,” Janikowski said. “We’ll
see what happens. We’ve got
a good coverage team.”
The impact on punts is
even more dramatic.
Opponents are averaging a
league-low 30.5 net yards per
punt against Chicago even
though Hester has only gotten
the chance to return 22 of 46
punts. There have been four
touchbacks and four fair
catches, while 15 punts have
either gone out of bounds or
been so far away from Hester
that the opposing team has
downed them before he could
get to them.
“They either kick it to him,
kick it out of bounds, they
kick it to one of the up backs,
or the punter kicks it out of
bounds,” Urlacher said.
“When they kick it to him, he
usually gets a good return, so
it’s kind of like pick your poison with him. He’s just amazing, He’s explosive. He catches the ball good. It kind of
makes you mad sometimes,
he doesn’t start out very fast,
he kinds of weaves his way
through, but when he turns it
on, he goes.”

PACKAGE: Big games —
L’ville-WVU, USC-Cal —
aren’t as big as planned
By RALPH D. RUSSO
AP College Football Writer
Often games that get circled on the schedule at the
beginning of the season aren’t
quite as big as expected when
kickoff comes.
There’s a few of those this
weekend. All are still important, but they’re not quite the
marquee showdowns that
were expected.
Louisville at West Virginia
was penciled in as a rematch
of last year’s huge Thursday
night Big East matchup. The
Cardinals and Mountaineers
again meet on a Thursday
night, but it’s been a disappointing season for Louisville
(5-4, 2-2). Still, West Virginia
is hanging around the fringe
of the national title race and
very much in the hunt for a
conference title.
The Southern CaliforniaCal game has played a major
role in deciding the Pac-10 in
recent seasons, but the
Trojans and Bears have
already combined to lose five
games. USC still has hopes
for a conference title. The
Trojans will need to win out
and get help.
Wisconsin and Michigan
were top-10 teams to start the
regular season, but they, too,
will meet Saturday with a
combined five losses. The
Wolverines have come back
strong from an awful start.
They’re perfect in the Big Ten
and can still win the conference title and Rose Bowl bid.
The picks:

the Seahawks (4-4) before
they host San Francisco (2-6)

Niko Koutouvides and Will
Herring, a rookie, are also
hurt. They have sore hamstrings, though Koutouvides
practiced
a
little
on
Wednesday.
“But some of them will
come back. We’ll practice
them, hopefully, on Friday,”
coach Mike Holmgren said. “I
think we’re going to have half
of them for the game.
“Now which half? I don’t
know,” he said, chuckling.
“Herring I would say is
doubtful, and all the rest of
them have a shot. And I don’t
say that with a lot of conviction, but they have a shot.”
Alexander hurt the knee
and ankle while rushing for 32
yards on 14 carries Sunday.
“The swelling has gone
down. It was not a structural
injury,” Holmgren said. “It’s
just now the swelling has to
go down, his range of motion
has to come back. The inflammation is limiting his ability
to bend his knee.
“Friday or Saturday he has
to show me he can do what he
does, otherwise we’ll proba-

bly rest him.”
Branch kept saying he was
“day to day” but it seems likely he will miss a third consecutive game.
Holmgren said again on
Wednesday that he intends to
replace many usual running
calls with more passes from
Matt Hasselbeck, the one consistent performer on an
offense that has been
mediocre all season. Then the
coach showed that intention
during drills.
“If today at practice was
any indication or (has) meaning, we’ve got a lot more
shots downfield, a lot more
things that are sort of wideopen,” Hasselbeck said. “A
very aggressive offense.”
Yet an offense that still is in
flux. Wednesday brought
another tweak in the starting
offensive line, part of
Holmgren’s promise last week
to mix and match in search of
better run-blocking. Veteran
backup
Floyd
Womack
worked in place of first-team
right tackle Sean Locklear for
much of practice. Locklear
missed practice last week with
a sore ankle, but was not listed by the team as injured
Wednesday.
Last week, Womack practiced ahead of starting right
guard Chris Gray and starting
left guard Rob Sims, but Gray
and Sims started against
Cleveland.

SCOREBOARD
NHL
Twins organization in the past
year.
The Twins, like the
Marlins, are a low-budget
franchise that is stocked with
talented minor league players
and Santana would likely be
seeking a multi-year deal
somewhere around the $2025 million range.
With a rotation that already
includes talented arms in
Francisco Liriano (returning
from Tommy John surgery),
Matt Garza and Carlos Silva
(a free agent this year); trading Santana could be a viable
option for the Twins and it
seems that they are thinking
the same thing.
According to sources, the
Twins will continue to try to
sign their Cy Young award
winning pitcher to a multiyear deal this winter but if
attempts fail, Santana will be
on the block with Minnesota
looking for multiple, blue
chip prospects in return.
Clemens to work
for Astros, likely
done playing
It looks like Roger
Clemens’ career will finally
be hitting the showers as has
been long past due for the 45year old.
Clemens has accepted a job
with the Astros front office as
a “consultant” and will begin
working for the team in an
advisory role per his agent.
This has long been over
due for “the Rocket” and
hopefully he can finally hang
up the cleats and put away the
glove for good.
Warriors
Damon Jones’ 3-pointer and
Ilgauskas’ free throws, but
Golden State trimmed the
lead to one point on Davis’
free throws and Andris
Biedrins’ hook shot.
James drew three defenders on the Cavs’ next possession. He passed to Ilgauskas,
who quickly rotated the ball
to Daniel Gibson — and the
playoff hero’s 3-pointer with
19 seconds left sealed
Cleveland’s second win of the
season. Gibson finished with
22 points.
“That’s the way I envision
our team eventually playing
every day,” Brown said. “Our
guys did a great job driving
and kicking the basketball. ...
I take my hat off to our guys.
It was absolutely fun basketball down the stretch.”
Davis, who sat out both of
the Cavaliers’ last two visits
to Oakland because of suspensions, had 29 points and
10 assists. Monta Ellis scored
22 points and Al Harrington
added 19 for the Warriors,
who fell to 0-4 in their tough
early season schedule without
suspended swingman Stephen

“I felt we were playing
good basketball, and at one
point we had the game under
control,” Davis said. “Then
we had a couple of bad breaks
defensively. It’s a tough loss,
but it was a great NBA game.
We’re young, and we keep

said. “We’re not as deep as
they are, but we’re experienced, and we know how to
play basketball.”
James left the court after
Biedrins accidentally hit him
in the face while reaching for
a rebound. James walked gingerly to the locker room with
a towel over his left eye, but
returned moments later.
This wasn’t James’ first
big night in Oakland. He got
the second triple-double of
his career against the
Warriors nearly three years
ago — a feat that occurred
just three nights after he
became the youngest player
in NBA history with a tripledouble.

14th annual Winter Concert BILLBOARD
set for Saturday, Dec. 8
‘Seussical, The Musical’ to open
at the Ukiah Playhouse on Nov. 15
The Daily Journal
Near and Arnold’s School of
Performing Arts and Cultural
Education, along with Ukiah Brewing
Company, Hoyman Browe Studio, Ahl
Motors, Tropo Records, Dripworks,
Mendocino Water Works, and Hot
Yoga Ukiah, in cooperation with
Mendocino College Community
Extension present the 14th annual
Winter Concert -- a celebration of
Middle Eastern fusion music. The performance will be on Saturday, Dec. 8,
at 8 p.m., at the Mendocino College
Center Theater, 1000 Hensley Creek
Road, Ukiah.
A great way to kick off the holiday
season and support the SPACE program, this year’s show brings together
guitarist extraordinaire Alex de Grassi
and world-renowned oboist Paul
McCandless with their very special
guests, the Georges Lammam
Ensemble and vocalist Diala Aboud,
performing original pan-Arabic
melodies fusing Eastern and Western
musical sensibilities.
Widely acclaimed as a leading
innovator and virtuoso of the acoustic
guitar, Alex de Grassi fuses a variety
of guitar traditions into a highly
orchestrated sound.
From Gershwin to Hendrix, and
from folk and jazz standards to original compositions, Alex’s performances
and many recordings reveal a unique
and powerful voice.
He has performed at concert halls
and festivals around the world, and, in
2006, was commissioned to compose
and perform an original piece for guitar and strings.
Alex has received numerous
awards, including a Grammy nomination for his recording, The Water
Garden.
During a distinguished career spanning three decades, Paul McCandless
has brought a soaring lyricism to his
playing and composing that has been
integral to the ensemble sound of two
seminal world music bands, the original Paul Winter Consort and the
relentlessly innovative quartet,
Oregon.
A gifted multi-instrumentalist and
composer, Paul has specialized in an
unusually broad palette of both single
and double reed instruments that
reflect his grounding in both classical
and jazz disciplines.
McCandless recorded three albums
and toured with Bela Fleck, with
whom he won a Grammy in 1996.
Paul McCandless, above, Georges Lammam, bottom left, and Alex de
Grassi will perform at the 14th annual Winter Concert.
The Georges Lammam Ensemble is
noted for its awe-inspiring presentations of the classical Arabic musical
repertoire. Skillfully blending artful
Eastern improvisation with Western
harmonic and melodic styling, the
ensemble’s original music sings to
people of all cultures -- songs for
love, songs for dance, and songs to
heal.
Violinist/vocalist Georges
Lammam, who has been performing
since he was 15, is joined by his two
brothers -- accordionist Elias
Lammam and percussionist Tony
Lammam.
Together, they are devoted to bringing the rich diversity and passion of
Arabic music to audiences around the
world. Of Palestinian descent, the
three brothers were born in Beirut,

The ensemble is now based in San
Francisco. Their guest vocalist, Diala
Aboud, started singing at an early age

unique talent, she made her television
debut at age 8.
Diala has studied music and piano
for many years, and is currently working on her first recording.

a co-production of Ukiah Players Theatre and Mendocino

“Seussical” is based on the works of the beloved children’s
author Theodore Geisel, known to the world as Dr. Seuss. One
would think it impossible to condense the major characters and
stories of Seuss into a cohesive evening, but “Seussical” does
it, combining bits and pieces of at least 14 Seuss classics
(including “The Cat In The Hat,” of course). The main story
involves Horton the Elephant’s efforts to save his friend Jojo
and the other inhabitants on Who. In the end, Seussical is really about believing in yourself, keeping promises and the
rewards of being an independent “thinker.” The eclectic, upbeat
score will keep feet tapping throughout the show.
This production is directed by Rick Allan, with musical
direction by Les Pfutzenreuter and choreography by Maria
Monti. The music was composed by Stephen Flaherty, with
yrics by Lynn Ahrens. The script/book was written by Lynn
Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, and the musical was conceived
by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty and Eric Idle.
Tickets are available at Mendocino Book Company on
School Street in Ukiah, and through the Ukiah Players Theatre
box office at 462-9226. Group rates and season tickets are
available.
‘Trending to the Wild: Restoring
Wildlands Biodiversity’ slideshow
and lecture set for Nov. 15
At the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center (OAEC), heavily logged woodlands are on their way to becoming stately and
fire-resilient forests. Water that once roared through gullies and
carried sediment into streams now flows across the surface and
soaks into the land, recharging the water table. Tree frogs,
snakes, and dragonflies are now populating the edges of rainwater ponds. Using the OAEC as a case study, Brock Dolman,
co-director of the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center’s
Wildlands Biodiversity Program, will deliver a slide lecture
entitled “Trending to the Wild: Promoting Wildlands
Biodiversity” on Thursday, Nov. 15, at the Ukiah Civic Center,
7 p.m. This Peregrine Audubon Society program is free to the
public, though donations will be gratefully accepted.
The Ukiah Civic Center is at 300 Seminary Avenue. From
101 take Perkins west to State Street (3rd light). Go left on
State Street and turn right on Seminary Ave. Take Seminary to
the end. To join Peregrine Audubon Society and receive a
newsletter with regular announcements about programs and
field trips, please send $15 to PAS, P.O. Box 311, Ukiah, CA

and find out when the light is in
your favor. You’ll want the
light on you, in most cases, not
lighting you up from behind.
Backlighting can throw off
your meter readings and
require a flash to fill in the
shadows. Morning offers a
light from the rising sun that is
not directly shining on the subject. It brightens the sky with
sun beams that can cause
squinting once they reach noon
and afternoon. Observe the
light around 9 and 10 a.m..
Before 8 a.m., the shadows will
be deep blue and reflect that on
the faces and clothing. If the
day for your shoot offers
clouds, you can choose any
backdrop. The diffused light is
even and easy on your eyes.

Ruby Bell Sherpa as Cissy and Dan Kozloff as Reggie
star in MCT’s production of “Quartet.”
MCT’s to run ‘Quartet’
through Sunday, Dec. 2
The Daily Journal
Ronald Harwood’s comedy “Quartet,” directed by Betty
Abramson and sponsored by Rossi’s Building Materials, fills
the final slot in the Mendocino Theatre Company’s season,
opening Nov. 1 and running for 20 performances through Dec.
2.
Quartet tells the story of four retired opera singers, played by
MTC veteran actors Dan Kozloff, Ann Woodhead, Ruby Bell
Sherpa and David Woolis, who find themselves at a retirement
home for musicians. When they’re asked to reprise their roles
as the “Quartet” in the famous opera Rigoletto for the home’s
annual celebration of Guiseppe Verdi’s birthday, the play
becomes a celebration of friendship, love, music, opera, aging
and Guiseppe Verdi.
Quartet will run Thursdays through Sundays until Dec. 2.
All performances are at 8 p.m. except for 2 p.m. Sunday
matinees on Nov. 25 and Dec. 2 (no night performances on
these dates).
Tickets are $15 on Thursday, Friday and Sunday; $20 on
Saturday. Call for reservations 937-4477 or visit www.mendocinotheatre.org.
BILLBOARD
Mendocino Stories and Music
Series set for Nov. 16
On Friday, Nov. 16, the Mendocino Stories and Music series
features four singer/songwriters in the Round in the Garden
Room of the Mendocino Hotel.
Four locals, Louisa Morris, Jamie Gilliam, Holly Tannen,
and Danny Barca, will share the stage in presenting their original songs and stories.
Doors open at 6 p.m.; the program starts at 7 p.m. Donations
are requested. For more information, contact Pattie at 937-1732
or www.mendocinostories.com/events.
If your family is all about
sports, take a family photo that
reveals this common thread. A
themed family photo is a great
way to show off why your family gets along so well. Each
subject can hold the ball or
equipment from their favorite
sport. Any theme can work if
you plan out the props and get
everyone on board.
Pick your clothes
Wardrobe can be a headache
for one photo subject let alone a
bunch who will be appearing
together. Choose outfits that
share tones and take it easy on
patterns that might clash. As a
general rule, wear an outfit that
feels comfortable and flatters
your skin tone and figure. Stay
away from white clothes for
outdoor shoots as they tend to
absorb other colors. Don’t go
out and buy clothes just for the
shoot, and don’t wear dress up
clothes that you haven’t worn
since that last family wedding.
Casual dress family portraits
are often more realistic and
more enjoyable to pose for.
Pose with purpose
You can move in your family photo. Who says everyone
has to sit on a bench and smile.
Take a walk hand and hand
through the family vines. Let
the dogs run along side, they’re
family to. If you decide to sit
for the photo, try to connect
with your co-posers. Have the
kids wrap their arms around the
parents, or try sitting in a
“Brady Bunch” line on a short
wall or log.
Growing up
You can re-create the same
family pose year after year if
you really want to see how
your family grows together. If
you walked hand and hand
through the vineyards for a
family photo two or three years
ago, try it again and then measure how much your family has
grown up and hopefully grown
together.

ASTROGRAPH
By Bernice Bede Osol
Friday, Nov. 9, 2007
Because your desire to
accumulate material things
may be stronger than usual in
the year ahead, you can use
this for motivation to acquire
bigger and better things.
When utilized productively, it
can be a great contributor to
success.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- It’s a fun day to go
shopping, and you’re apt to
find all kinds of unexpected
items to purchase. But if you
are buying on credit in hopes
of having the funds to pay at a
later date, hold back a bit.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- You’re likely to
have good ambitions and
expectations, but if you don’t
think well about your abilities
to accomplish these aims, it
won’t matter. You’ll let down
the people on the job.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- There’s a chance
you could be forced to operate
in close conjunction with
someone of whom you may be
a bit jealous. Don’t let envy
cause you to act in an unbecoming manner.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- At a social gathering, a joke could unintentionally go wrong and come out in
an unkind way to another
friend who isn’t present.
Don’t let it go unexplained;
set the facts straight.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- When it comes to your
work or career, strive to be as

actress, is 39; Tara Reid (1975-), actress, is 32.
TODAY’S SPORTS: In 1966, Frank
Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles became the
first person to be named MVP of both baseball
leagues.
TODAY’S QUOTE: “Without the United
things as possible, even if it is
painful at times. To do otherwise could damage your
image down the line.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Your comrades won’t
support your new ideas if you
aren’t enthusiastic about presenting them. They’ll think
you don’t believe in them
yourself or that you have little
use for them at this point.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- If you get involved in
something that includes others, it will be imperative that
all participants protect the
interests of everybody else.
Without this shield, the union
could collapse.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- You might be better off

TODAY’S FACT: In 1994, the synthetic

at work. When given too
much time to think about it,
you’ll imagine all kinds of
phobias involved.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Should you say something impulsively that you
wish to take back, tell a selfdeprecating joke. Attempting
to explain the thoughtless
remark might only make
things worse.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -If friends should suggest playing a game of chance, don’t let
money or betting of any kind
be introduced into the event; it
could take all the fun out of
the activity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Success in your endeavor is indicated, especially
when you don’t have too
much time to think about what
you’re doing. If you envision
it as laborious, your interest
will quickly wane.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Speak well of friends, even
if someone should indicate
that one of your pals hasn’t
been generous with his or her
praise of you. Responding
poorly would justify his or her
complaints.

Married woman feels potential for a new relationship
Dear Annie: My heart is breaking. I am a
40-year-old married mother of three, and I
have lost the spark in my marriage. The real
problem is that I am in love with a co-worker - a female co-worker. I have never had a lesbian relationship, but I care about “Nina” in a
way I’ve never felt before. We are good friends
and spend a lot of time together -- shopping,
dining out, going to the movies -- and I’m fantasizing about having more, but I have no idea
if Nina is interested in a gay relationship.
When I look into her eyes, I see my soul
mate and am filled with such a longing, I can
hardly stand it. Is it crazy for me to feel this
way? Can someone suddenly become gay?
And what should I tell my husband? I still love
him, but I don’t feel the same passion I feel for
Nina. Please help. -- Brokenhearted in the
Midwest
Dear Brokenhearted: Your marriage has
become stale and that has left you open to other
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
possibilities. It is unlikely that you are “suddenly” gay. Either you have been repressing
that side of yourself for years, or your attraction to Nina is not so much sexual as it is an
infatuation with her personality. This happens
more often than you might think and has little
to do with your basic sexual orientation.
You have an obligation to your husband and
children to work on your marriage first.
Passion is wonderful, but it’s not everything.
Please get counseling and sort this out.
Dear Annie: My husband was in a car accident three years ago and has had back pain ever
since.
THURSDAY EVENING
6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00
The problem is, we just had a baby four
months ago. I understand my husband doesn’t
sleep well because of his back, but that leaves
me to get up with the baby every night. I also
am up with all three of our children on weekends while he sleeps until 10 a.m. Is this fair? I
can’t help but be a little resentful, but then I
feel bad if I bother him at night. How can we
compromise? -- Sleep Deprived in Oregon
Dear Sleep Deprived: Your husband may
not sleep well because of his back, but you
don’t sleep well because of the baby, so when
the weekend comes, you’re even. Here’s your
compromise: You get to sleep more on
Saturday, and he gets extra rest on Sunday.
Whether that means sleeping late in the morning or taking a nap in the afternoon is up to
you. P.S.: If your husband hasn’t asked his doctor about pain management, please suggest it.
Dear Annie: You’ve printed many letters
from men who want more sex in their marriages. If a woman were starving her husband - feeding him once a week and keeping the
food locked up -- I’m sure you’d consider that
abuse. A strong sex drive feels exactly like that
-- you’re hungry all the time. Telling your
spouse he has to do without because you don’t
need it as often is cruel.
Why should the partner with the minimal
sex drive determine the type and frequency of
intimacy? Never feeling satisfied is a terrible
way to live. If you love your spouse, you won’t
want him to be hungry.
By the way, I’m a woman who knows what
it’s like to be treated as if there’s something
wrong with me for wanting sex, and to have a
spouse who uses sex as a reward and withholds
it for punishment. I am now remarried. It is
heaven to be with someone who enjoys making
sure I’m taken care of in every way. And it
makes me want to do everything I can to see
that he’s happy in return. -- O.
Dear O.: Thanks for the excellent analogy.
We agree that husbands and wives should do
everything possible to make sure their partners
are not starving from lack of intimacy.

Solar
process.
Koehler said the equipment
is being installed by Advance:
Solar, Hydro, Wind Power of
Calpella through a Purchase
Powers Agreement at little
out-of pocket expense to the
district.
“Even the legal fees were
low,” Butow said.
Advance is leasing the land
the solar panels are on from
the district for no money.
Advance takes the power they
generate and sells it to PG&E.
Redwood Valley then gets to
buy power at an 18-percent
reduced rate.
Until recently, Purchase
Power Agreements have been
largely restricted to bigger
installations.
“It’s just now filtering
down to under a megawatt,”
Koehler said.
He said that within 15
years, the district will be able
to buy power from PG&E at a
30 percent reduced rate.
Koehler said the district
also has a maintenance agreement with Advance, meaning
that if the system breaks,
Advance will fix it at no cost.
Advance also built a fence
around the property to protect
its solar array, a significant
value that Koehler said the
district got for free.
The district also retains
rights to the carbon credits
produced by the solar array.
The system offsets 150,000
pounds of carbon dioxide
annually.
Another advantage of
installing the solar array on a
purchase power agreement is
that it is flexible. Advance’s
lease lasts for 15 years, at
which point the district can
buy the system outright, renegotiate the contract or simply
have the entire system
removed, depending on the
circumstances.
The Redwood Valley
installation is also serving as a
trial run to test the effectiveness of the project, Koehler
said. If the solar panels can
effectively provide energy
savings at the pumps in
Redwood Valley, Koehler said
a similar system could be
installed at the district’s
pumps at Lake Mendocino.
The district spends $25,000
a year on electricity for its
Redwood Valley purification
plant and an additional
$200,000 per year to run its
pumps at Lake Mendocino.
Butow said it will take
roughly two weeks to complete the installation and then
up to three weeks before
PG&E inspects the system
and it can be turned on.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
— Discovery and its crew
returned to Earth Wednesday
and concluded a 15-day space
station build and repair mission that was among the most
challenging — and heroic —
in shuttle history. The space
shuttle touched down on a
crisp and bright fall afternoon
after safely crossing the continent in the first coast-to-coast
re-entry since the Columbia
disaster almost five years ago.
The seven shuttle astronauts and three residents of
the international space station
teamed up during the docked
mission to save a mangled
solar wing. It was one of the
most difficult and dangerous
repairs ever attempted in
orbit, but the future of the
space station was riding on it
and Scott Parazynski pulled it
off in a single spacewalk.
“It was an extraordinary
feat,” shuttle program manager Wayne Hale said after shaking the astronauts’ hands.
Discovery’s commander,
Pamela Melroy, was quick to
thank everyone who helped
pull off the mission.
“It really was a beautiful
moment for NASA,” she said.
Added Parazynski, a mountaineer: “It certainly was a
summit push and I think we
attained the summit and then
some.” On its way home,
Discovery crossed over
Canada’s British Columbia
and made a diagonal descent
over Montana, Wyoming, the
Great Plains, the Deep South
and, finally, down into
Florida. NASA opted for the
more populous route to avoid
a riskier landing in darkness,
and to give the crew some
extra rest.
misuse of the will of the electorate.
“This law was issued with
the best intentions, but now
we have criminal activity running rampant,” Dennis Smart
said. “It’s blatant.”
On
Nov.
8,
2000,
Mendocino County voters
approved Measure G, a resolution calling for the decriminalization of personal use and
cultivation of marijuana, by a
vote of 58 percent.
Marshall Sayegh said the
proposed change to the resolution was a direct subversion of
the will of the voters who
made Measure G a reality.
“I can assure you the people of the South Coast and
around Mendocino County are
unaware of the tinkering this
board is attempting in order to
reduce their rights under
Measure G, and I am appalled
that the direct initiative is
being abused,” he said.
“Shame on you all.”

“There is nothing in this
ordinance that limits the use
by legitimate patients,” he
said. “I keep hearing these
people saying they are fighting for patient rights. If they
actually cared they would be
trying to crack down on those
who abuse the system.”
During the public comment
portion of the discussion, several county residents took to
the podium to express their
