The
U.S.
Senate
Appropriations Committee on
Friday approved $60.4 million in funding for salmon
fishermen, tribes and businesses in California and
Oregon impacted by last
year’s fishery failure on the
Klamath River.
The funding, which is part
of the federal emergency supplemental package and is also
contained in legislation
passed by the House of
Representatives Friday, must
still pass the full Senate and
be signed by President
George W. Bush.
The companion bills were
introduced in the first two
days of the new legislative
session, which began in
January, by California Sen.
Barbara Boxer and North
Coast Rep. Mike Thompson.
Thompson has estimated
that the commercial fishing
season was cut by more than
90 percent in 2006, costing
fishing families and associated fishing businesses more
than $60 million.
Gov.
Arnold
Schwarzenegger said his
administration will continue
to work with federal representatives and the executive
branch for the ultimate
approval of the funding.
“The restricted salmon
fishing season along the West
Coast has created a substantial economic hardship to our
communities along the coast,”
Schwarzenegger said.
“I am pleased that our
efforts, including those by
Senators Feinstein and Boxer,
Congressman
Mike
Thompson and the entire delegations from California and
Oregon, have resulted in a
critical step toward final
approval of $60.4 million in
long overdue relief for the
salmon fishermen and the
businesses that depend on a
plentiful fishing season,”
Schwarzenegger said.
In July, the federal government declared a commercial
fishery failure along the West
Coast. That declaration made
fishermen and businesses eligible for Small Business
Administration Economic
Injury Disaster Loans, however, many in the industry
were wary about borrowing

Her enterprise is folding Estates

Louise Yale folds origami paper in her home on Monday. For the last several years Yale has been creating origami pieces that are used as trophies for the annual ukiaHaiku festival. Contestants from
around the world have been sending in haiku poems which will be judged and the winners read aloud
on April 29 at the Ukiah Conference Center.
And that’s a good thing
By KATIE MINTZ
The Daily Journal
Squares of tan cigar paper and
pieces with metallic sheen, cuts from
the inside of security envelopes and
sparkling floral patterns -- some
glossy and others textured -- are
stacked in neat piles.
They come from as far away as
Taiwan, Japan, Italy and the United
Kingdom, and as near as the local
Staples, and sit on Louise Yale’s dining room table in Redwood Valley.
Yale, a retired woman who volunteers at the Grace Hudson Museum
and Sun House, uses the varied paper
products to create origami designs,
and in recent years has put her craft
to use making trophies for winners in
the annual ukiaHaiku Festival.
Yale said the idea came from
Sherri Smith-Ferri, a member of the
organizing committee for the competition and festival and director of the
museum, which also sponsors the
festival.
Like haiku, short poems traditionally about nature, origami is said to
have its origin in Japan -- origami is
a Japanese word translated to mean
‘to fold paper’ -- and was so picked
by Smith-Ferri for the haiku reward.
However, Yale, who grew up in
Berkeley at a time when many
Japanese-Americans were returning
to the area from internment camps,
said the true history of origami is a
controversial topic.
“As cultures evolved and devel-
oped, or realized that paper existed,
people started playing with it. I think
it evolved in every culture,” she said.
Today, there are origami associations in countries around the world.

Jeriko Estates Owner
Daniel Fetzer said Monday he
had reached a tentative agreement to sell Jeriko to San
Francisco based Brunton
Vineyards.
Brunton Vineyards has
signed a letter of intent to purchase Jeriko Vineyards near
Hopland for an estimated
$16.5 million.
“Jeriko Vineyards is well
known for its organic wines
and this acquisition allows us
to compete more effectively
as a well rounded producer of
different types of wine,” said
Brunton Vineyards President
Brian McGonigle.
Brunton said Jeriko is one
of a several wineries and
vineyards it is intent on purchasing. Earlier this month,
Brunton signed a letter of
intent to buy the 150-acre
Bellisimo Vineyard in Napa
County for $16 million.
Jeriko is one of Mendocino
County’s premier organic
vineyards that sits on 160
acres of land just north of
Hopland on Highway 101.
Jeriko is known for its production of Pinot Noir,
Chardonnay, Syrah, Merlot,
Sauvignon
Blanc
and
Sangiovese grapes.
Fetzer said he was
approached by Brunton
Vineyards about the sale. He
said the organic aspect of the
winery has taken off in the
last few years and that
Brunton saw an opportunity
there.
“Brunton has the capacity
to take Jeriko where it
deserves to go,” Fetzer said.
Jeriko currently produces
25,000 cases of wine per year,
more than half of which,
about 13,000 cases, are sold
the Jeriko label. Brunton
Vineyards has said they plan
to increase production at
Jeriko from it’s current
25,000 case per year production to 100,000 cases per year.

Governor gives hefty raises to top state officials
By MIKE ZAPLER
AND KATE FOLMAR

Sacramento Bureau
SACRAMENTO - Gov.
Arnold
Schwarzenegger’s
administration is expected to
announce today pay raises up
to 27 percent for more than 50
top officials, saying the state
must boost salaries to remain
competitive against local governments that pay more.
The new salaries taking
effect April 1 won’t cost taxpayers more, at least initially,
but they will force state
departments to make cuts or
otherwise absorb the raises
within existing personnel budgets. The hefty raises - 10
agency heads, for example,
would see their annual salaries
grow to $175,000, a 23 percent increase - come as
Schwarzenegger is preaching
the need for fiscal restraint to
end chronic budget shortfalls.
“Because these raises are
purely discretionary,” said
Roger Niello of Sacramento,
the ranking Republican on the
Capitol report
from the
Sacramento Bureau
Equipment Financing.
Quick and Easy.
Assembly budget committee,
“it does make it difficult from
a public perception standpoint.”
At the same time, Niello
and others said, California
needs to pay competitively to
attract skilled managers to run
large, complex bureaucracies.
“It’s important for the folks
running these agencies to be
compensated fairly, and right
now that’s not the case,” said
Aaron McLear, a spokesman
for the governor. He emphasized that the raises are “bud-
get-neutral” and said they
would help “recruit and retain
the best and the brightest.”
To justify the raises, officials compared salaries for top
state agency jobs with similar
positions in local government.
For example, the California
Highway
Patrol
Commissioner oversees more
than 10,000 employees and
currently makes $142,584; the
San Jose police chief, by contrast, supervises 1,789 workers and earns $207,418,
according to the survey. Ten
other county sheriffs and city
police chiefs make more than
the CHP head, and three of
them earn at least $100,000
more, the survey found.
In at least one case, the
salary survey appears to lowball comparative wages.
In comparing health services directors, the survey
uses a maximum salary of
$172,152 for Santa Clara
County.

The world briefly
ing a way out of the standoff.
The two countries continued to disagree about where the military personnel were seized Friday, with Britain insisting they
were in Iraqi waters after searching a civilian cargo vessel and
the Tehran regime saying it had proof they were in Iranian territory.
Britain’s Defense Ministry said they were seized in the Shatt
al-Arab, a waterway flowing into the Persian Gulf that marks
the border between Iran and Iraq. But the dividing line in the
waterway, known in Iran as the Arvand river, has long been disputed.
The Iranian emphasis Monday on the detainees’ intent was a
noticeable pullback from the certainty expressed Saturday by
Iran’s military chief, Gen. Ali Reza Afshar. Afshar said then that
the 15 confessed to “aggression into the Islamic Republic of
Iran’s waters.”
Other Iranian officials suggested afterward that the Britons
might be charged with a crime — presumably espionage or trespassing — for knowingly entering Iran’s territorial waters.
Military finds no criminal wrongdoing
in Tillman’s death, but admits errors
WASHINGTON (AP) — High-ranking Army officers made
critical errors in reporting the friendly fire death of Army
Ranger Pat Tillman in Afghanistan, but there was no criminal
wrongdoing in the shooting of the former NFL star by fellow
soldiers, the military concluded Monday.
Army and Defense Department investigators said that officers looking into the incident passed along misleading and inaccurate information and delayed reporting their belief that
Tillman was killed by fellow Rangers. The investigators recommended the Army take action against the officers.
Among those blamed were the three-star general in charge of
Army special operations as well as Tillman’s regimental commander.
The investigation also recommended that the Army review
its award of the Silver Star to Tillman, but the acting secretary
of the Army said the award would stand. Defense Department
Acting Inspector General Thomas F. Gimble said some information provided to justify the citation was inaccurate.
The highest current ranking officer blamed in the incident is
Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of the Joint Special
Operations Command. Investigators said he was “accountable
for the inaccurate and misleading assertions” contained in the
papers recommending that Tillman get the Silver Star.
Gonzales aide to invoke Fifth
Amendment at Senate hearing
WASHINGTON (AP) — Monica Goodling, a senior Justice
Department official involved in the firings of federal prosecutors, will refuse to answer questions at upcoming Senate hearings, citing Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination, her lawyer said Monday.
“The potential for legal jeopardy for Ms. Goodling from
even her most truthful and accurate testimony under these circumstances is very real,” said the lawyer, John Dowd.
“One need look no further than the recent circumstances and
proceedings involving Lewis Libby,” he said, a reference to the
recent conviction of Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief
of staff in the CIA leak case.
The White House, meanwhile, continued to stand by
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales despite new calls over the
weekend for his resignation and documents that indicate he may
have been more involved in the dismissals than he has previously acknowledged.
Democrats have accused the Justice Department and the
White House of purging the prosecutors for political reasons.
The Bush administration maintains the firings were not improper because U.S. attorneys are political appointees.
Israelis, Palestinians will resume
open-ended, face-to-face talks
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
agreed Monday to resume open-ended, face-to-face talks with
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in a possible step toward
restarting substantive peace talks, a U.S. official said.
Olmert and Abbas will initially hold low-key “confidencebuilding” sessions, the official said. Israel has refused substantive talks since Abbas, a moderate leader whom Israel has called
a partner for peace, joined Hamas militants in a coalition government this month.
The talks between the Palestinian and Israeli leaders will be
open to all issues, said the U.S. official, speaking on condition
of anonymity ahead of a planned address by Rice on Tuesday.
Israel, the United States and the European Union consider
Hamas a terrorist group.
Iran questioning seized British sailors as
it apparently softens stance on standoff
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran said Monday it was questioning
15 British sailors and marines to determine if their alleged entry
into Iranian waters was “intentional or unintentional” before
deciding what to do with them — the first sign it could be seek-
European Union, Iranian negotiators
try to find common ground
VIENNA, Austria (AP) — A top European envoy on
Monday renewed an offer from six world powers to talk with
Tehran over its nuclear ambitions, and a senior Iranian negotiator agreed to stay in contact in an effort to find common ground.
European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana’s telephone conversation with Ali Larijani, Tehran’s top nuclear
negotiator, was the first exchange between the representatives
of Iran and the international community since the U.N. Security
Council toughened its anti-Iran sanctions because of the Islamic
republic’s refusal to freeze uranium enrichment.
Solana spokeswoman Cristina Gallach emphasized it was not
a negotiating session but more a message to the Iranian side that
the international community was interested in “renewing ...
talks and solving in a negotiated matter” differences separating
the sides.
The conversation, which Gallach said lasted nearly an hour,
came amid signs of impatience from Russia and China, Iran’s
traditional allies among the five permanent Security Council
members.
The presidents of the two countries, whose resistance to
tough penalties against Iran have forced the United States,
France and Britain to accept watered down U.N. sanctions,
jointly urged Tehran to fulfill council demands.

most common practices in heart care.
The stunning results found that angioplasty did not save lives
or prevent heart attacks in non-emergency heart patients.
An even bigger surprise: Angioplasty gave only slight and
temporary relief from chest pain, the main reason it is done.
“By five years, there was really no significant difference” in
symptoms, said Dr. William Boden of Buffalo General Hospital
in New York. “Few would have expected such results.”

DANIA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Anna Nicole Smith accidentally overdosed on at least nine prescription drugs — including
a powerful sleep syrup she was known to swig right out of the
bottle — after a miserable last few days in which she endured
stomach flu, a 105-degree fever, pungent sweating and a pusfilled infection on her buttocks from repeated injections.
In a detailed autopsy report released Monday, a medical
examiner noted the former Playboy playmate refused to go to a
hospital three days before her Feb. 8 death and chose to ride out
her illness in a hotel suite littered with pill bottles, soda cans,
SlimFast, nicotine gum and an open box of Tamiflu tablets.
Broward County Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper found
that in the days leading up to her death, the 39-year-old Smith
had been taking large amounts of the seldom-prescribed sedative chloral hydrate, which also contributed to the 1962 overdose death of Smith’s idol Marilyn Monroe.
Police found no apparent signs of foul play, and the medical
examiner also ruled Smith’s death probably was not a suicide
because people who take their own lives typically use much
more lethal drugs than chloral hydrate.

ASK DR. GOTT
By Peter H. Gott, MD
Experimental heart failure drug helps
symptoms but not survival, study finds
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
AP Medical Writer
Vitamin E
cures boil
DEAR DR. GOTT: Many years ago, I had a boil,
and my doctor said to put compresses on “as hot as I
could stand “ to draw the core out. After several days of
this, only to be in much pain without any results, I resorted to researching another remedy. I had heard vitamin E
was good for skin care and decided to purchase a vitamin
E capsule. I put it directly on the boil, then covered it
with a bandage. I repeated this procedure three times a
day. Within 24 hours, the boil had decreased in size by
one half. After three days, it was gone, and there was no
scar or sign there ever was a boil. The vitamin E also
brought me pain relief. I have had three boils since, one
recently, and have treated each of them this way. I’m disappointed in the fact that doctors aren’t more informed of
cures like this so they can pass the information on to their
patients. Maybe there are others who would like to know
there is an easy and inexpensive way to get rid of a boil.
DEAR READER: Many superficial skin infections
do not respond to topical vitamin E. Surgical drainage
and/or antibiotics may be necessary. However, if this
therapy has worked for you, keep it up as needed.
To give you related information, I am sending you a
copy of my Health Report “Vitamin E: Myths and
Facts.” Other readers who would like a copy should send
a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope and $2 to
Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be
sure to mention the title.
DEAR DR. GOTT: I read your column about having
what is called hot flashes. I have had a battle with what
you are describing; however, mine were frequent but
lasted only for a short time. I noticed mine occurring
especially when there was any amount of stress present
in my life, large or small. I had an episode one day while
shopping. Big sweat beads popped up, and I was literally dripping. A very nice lady noticed and asked me if I
experienced hot flashes often. Of course, I told her I did.
She suggested I take over-the-counter garlic-and-parsley
gel caps. The secret is, the product must have parsley, not
plain garlic. Gelatin capsules are preferred. The capsules
should be taken at night and do not cause burping or
belching. The results were obvious in two to three weeks.
I had stopped having hot flashes completely and forgot to buy the capsules recently. Well, one day I noticed
I was feeling the old familiar heat. Of course, I quickly
went back on the capsule, and it worked.
DEAR READER: This could be a huge breakthrough if it works for other readers. I personally have
had no experience with the garlic-and-parsley mix, so I’ll
wait for reports from readers concerning its effectiveness. Stay tuned.

NEW ORLEANS -- An
experimental drug is the first to
substantially and safely improve
shortness of breath and other
symptoms in people hospitalized
with severe heart failure, an epidemic that is growing as baby
boomers age, doctors reported
Sunday.
However, many were disappointed that the drug also did not
help people live longer or stay
out of the hospital.
“What we really need are
therapies that are going to
improve the outcome,” said Dr.
Gregg Fonarow, an American
Heart Association spokesman
from
the
University
of
California at Los Angeles.
He had no role in the study,
which was led by Dr. Marvin
Konstam of Tufts-New England
Medical Center and presented at
an American College of
Cardiology conference. Results
also were published online by
the Journal of the American
Medical Association and will be
in its March 28 issue.
Heart failure occurs when the
heart muscle weakens over time
and can no longer pump effectively. Fluid can back up into the
lungs and leave people panicked
and gasping for breath.
About 5 million Americans
have the condition. It kills more
than 300,000 and accounts for a
million hospitalizations each
year.
Severely ill heart failure
patients need to shed buckets of
water, but current treatments
either do not cause this fast
enough or lead to kidney damage or loss of essential body
salts called electrolytes.
A drug that does this better is
drastically needed, said Dr.
Mariell Jessup, head of the heart
failure center at the University
of Pennsylvania, who was not
involved in the study.
“What we’re doing now is not
working. These patients come
back over and over,” she said.
The new drug, tolvaptan, is a
first-of-its-kind medication that
blocks a hormone responsible
for fluid retention.
It was tested on 4,133 severely ill patients throughout North
and South America and Europe.
They were randomly assigned to
receive either the new drug or
fake medication in addition to
other standard heart failure treatments like diuretics within 48
hours of hospitalization.
Ten months later, the drug
made no difference in the rate of
death or rehospitalization -- a
big disappointment. But it significantly improved breathing
and reduced swelling and weight
because it promoted so much
fluid loss.
Side effects mostly involved
nuisances like dry mouth and
thirst, and no extra risk of death
or kidney problems was seen -the main things doctors were
worried about.
“This is the first drug that’s
ever been documented to reduce
symptoms and be safe,”
Konstam said. “As early as one
day, taking just one pill, there
was an improvement in shortness of breath, which is the No.
1 symptom patients complain
about that drives them to the
hospital.”
Tolvaptan’s maker, Otsuka
Pharmaceutical Co. of Japan,
paid for the study and Konstam
is one of its consultants. The

New crop of heart stents pass key tests,
but long-term safety questions still linger
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
AP Medical Writer
NEW ORLEANS -- A new crop of
experimental heart stents have passed
some key safety and effectiveness tests
and may one day offer alternatives to the
controversial stents currently used to
keep unclogged arteries open, doctors
reported Saturday.
One is designed to dissolve after doing
its job, leaving nothing behind to trigger
blood clots -- a worry with the most popular stents sold now. Another attracts
special cells to help the artery heal. A
third is super-thin and uses a novel drug
to keep scar tissue from reblocking the
vessel.
All are seeking a slice of the $6 billion
market for these tiny mesh scaffolds,
each month. This program pairs women
with licensed cosmetologists to eliminate
the appearance related side effects of cancert treatment. This is a free class offered by

us if it’s safer,” and no one knows
whether the federal Food and Drug

I was “row monitor” in second grade; sitting in the last
seat, making sure all students
in row #4 behaved. If not,
their name was recorded in
my official “monitor’s notebook,” which at day’s end,
was delivered to the teacher.
Right now, during daily quiet
time, everyone was behaving
appropriately. No one messed
with the law when I was on
duty.
If all was calm, and we had
no pending assignments, we
were given permission to
color. Each of us had a coloring book in our desk for just
such occasion. Eagerly, I
pulled my precious book from
inside my desk and began
flipping through the pages,
looking for just the right picture. I always colored the
“way cool” pictures first, usually images with robots or ray
guns. Alas, they were all completed. Slightly disappointed,
but undaunted, I dropped to
the next level, the boring pictures - the ones with horses or
girls in them.
“Make a mental note,” I
told myself, “get a new coloring book -- no girl pictures.”
But since that was all that
remained, I began flipping
pages. Nothing. The entire
coloring book was full.
Sadly, I slid my book into
its home, folded my hands on
my desk, looked up at the
clock, sighed, and waited; I
had absolutely nothing to do.
I believe that was the last
time I remember that happening.

My life today is poles apart

Letters from our readers In our opinion
Thank you
To the Editor:
Dear Friends, Colleagues & Community:
As time continues to pass so swiftly I
want to take the time to let you know how
deeply grateful I am to all of you for the
encouragement and support you have
shown and given to me during the years
that I have called the Greater Ukiah Valley
my home. Last year I was given the
“Lifetime Achievement” award, and I hold
this honor close to my heart with gratitude
and love. When I first moved to Ukiah
(1982) from Sonoma County I became
involved with the Ukiah Players, the Ukiah
Coop, the Saturday Afternoon Club, the
Ukiah Symphony, the Mendocino College
Big Band and of course the Ukiah Civic
Light Opera. I am most fortunate to have
met so many fine community spirited people. Getting into plays, playing the Palace
Hotel. watching many young talented people venture out into the world seeking their
place, their dreams are but a small portion
of the great memories I have of “Home.” I
thought I came here to retire and now I’m
hitting the road again singing my songs and
sharing stories about where I live and the
people in my community. The audiences
are very curious about Ukiah. Last year,
Just after receiving the Award at the
Concerts m the Park, I performed at a special function in Beverly Hills. people were
asking me “where are you from?”... So ... I
proudly went on ... and on ... about our
wonderful Northern California community.
I took some Mendocino County wines and
shared it with some very special people, I
am about to get out on the road again and
as always I take you with me. I want to say
thank you to all the wonderful people who
make our beautiful world a better place to
live and grow and make friends.

A process that normally attracts only policy wonks and economic interests, appears
to have brought out a significant number of
local residents interested in seeing that their
vision of the future of the Ukiah Valley is
not - depending on your point of view marred or barred.
The process we’re discussing is the Ukiah
Valley Area Plan, which will serve to map
out the next 20 years or so of development in
the Ukiah Valley, a plan which county and
city residents alike have a stake in.
What’s getting attention right now is the
idea that something big will happen at the
old Masonite property. But there appears to
be little agreement on what that should be.
A property developer has bought the old
factory site in hopes of building a 700,000square-foot regional retail center complete
with at least two major big box anchors.
The sticking point is that the county
Board of Supervisors must rezone the land
in order for the project to proceed and that
has to be done as part of the UVAP process.
We know there are lots of people out there
who would love to see a big new mall at the
north end of town. We are told that more
than $100 million a year in retail sales travels to Santa Rosa each year from local and
area residents. We’d like to see that spending
here.
There are also lots of people who want to
put an end to any more large retail development in the area. We’re told that rezoning
that last substantial piece of industrial land
in our valley will put a final end to any hope
of attracting clean industry with high paying
jobs to our area.
Mixed into the problem from both ends is
a debate over the real need for more housing
- are we stagnating without it, or will we just
attract more population and no economic
benefit with more of it?
Whatever direction we take, we believe
that this valley will begin to crumble economically without growth soon. If no one is
moving in, housing prices remain high and
visa versa. We have waited years upon years
for that “clean industry” to come to town.
We suspect it isn’t coming. Why? There’s no
worker housing. There’s limited transportation. And there’s a low-skill worker pool.
On the other hand, a load of new retail
simply adds more low wage jobs to our
economy, and more people without worker
benefits and nowhere affordable to live.
If the UVAP becomes just a referendum
about more big box retail in the valley, it will
be an opportunity lost.
We believe a middle ground is there
somewhere with more retail, even big box
retail, plus affordable and innovative housing, not just a bunch of small single family
homes or unattractive apartment complexes.
Add to that restaurant and hospitality businesses and even space for microenterprise
start-ups and there may be a shape to something interesting.
Most of all, we have to be clear to developers what we will demand - not just accept
vague promises of what’s possible “down
the road” - but also make sure that no one is
moving forward with the idea that anything
is either a “done deal” or “dead on arrival.”
To the Editor:
I speak well and in praise of Lynette
Woolfolk who is an anchor to many who
would otherwise sink in their situations.
Lynette is a hard worker, daily checking
her mail box at Mental Health for news
from clients. Lynette is prompt in returning
grievance reports and patients are grateful.
Lynette goes to hospital sites in different
parts of California. I vouch for her patience
and understanding. She has assisted me
with successful results. Lynette Woolfolk
deserves her position to continue. She drives her own vehicle to and from appointments and unbelievably Lynette does not
have an office at Mental Health. She works
at home on her own computer.
My intention is to represent the true
Lynette Woolfolk. I ask that Lynette be permitted to retain/maintain her current job.

No done deals on UVAP
Wants worker kept on
To the Editor:
The headline in the March 24 edition of
the Ukiah Daily Journal reads, “Physicians
try to save Surgery Center.” In the story we
learn that the reason for the Center’s closing is “really bad reimbursements.”
Reading further, we learn that California
has the lowest reimbursement of all 50
states and that Mendocino and Sonoma
counties have the lowest reimbursement
within the state. Reimbursements from the
federal government, that is.
In a letter appearing in the March 23
edition, the writer asks, “What’s holding up
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers?” She
lists her concerns: the docks have not been
reinstalled and there is “almost zero activity going on about and around the picnic
grounds and surrounding public areas
preparing it for public use.”
Indeed, why is so little being done local-

ly with federal money?
Because the federal money that could be
used for reimbursements to keep the
Surgery Center in business and to pay
employees to maintain Lake Mendocino is
instead going to pay for the misbegotten
war in Iraq.
Those examples are just two of many
thousands that are happening in communities such as ours.
So, when we need a surgical procedure,
want to launch a boat, or picnic at Lake
Mendocino, we’ll just have to think about
what Bush and Cheney’s war is costing.

Ideas for
improvement
From the moment state legislators and Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger began talking about moving up next
year's California primary to Feb. 5, it's been clear linkage was involved. It wasn't enough for Sacramento's
present rulers just to switch the primary and give
California a significant place in presidential politics
for the first time in 36 years.
Nope, leaders of the Legislature suddenly saw a
way to extend their tenure in high office beyond what
today's rules allow. They would make no brazen
attempt to add years to the total of 14 they're now
allowed as lawmakers. Rather, they would ask voters
to approve a plan letting legislators give up two of
those years in exchange for staying 12 years in one
house, rather than the six now allowed in the Assembly
and eight in the state Senate.
Key to all this, of course, is that if voters passed
such a proposition Democrats Fabian Nunez of East
Los Angeles and Don Perata of Oakland could stay in
their leadership roles another six and four years,
respectively. Unspoken is the reality that having tasted
significant power, neither Nunez nor Perata wants to
move to the other house and become just an ordinary
member.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger quickly signaled that
he would go along with this plan, easing the idea's way
onto the ballot, but only if the Legislature at the same
time agrees to let voters decide whether to take away
much of its power to draw new congressional and legislative district lines every 10 years. The most common
notions of redistricting reform involve some kind of
citizen commission, with at least a token effort at nonpartisanship.
This, however, makes the California congressional
delegation, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, very
uneasy. They fear that districts drawn to reflect city
limits or other logical boundaries might change today's
reality in which virtually no seats ever change from
one party to the other. At the very least, they know that
new, less partisan boundaries would likely produce
more competitive races like those that were common
in the 1990s, when a court-appointed master drew up
many boundaries after a 1991 stalemate between
Democratic legislators and then-Gov. Pete Wilson, a
Republican.
And then Schwarzenegger tossed in another wild
card, suggesting the Feb. 5 ballot also include a ban on
political fund-raising during the time the state budget
is up for negotiation.
Schwarzenegger plumped for this idea during the
2003 recall campaign in which he was elected, but
seemingly forgot about it so long as it was important
for him to raise money to run for a second term. He
actually set new records for fund-raising during the
budget period. Now that it no longer can affect him,
he's suddenly revived the idea.
Schwarzenegger's timing on this may be suspect,
but he's right when he says fund-raising during budget
season contributes to a corrupt climate.
Here, then, are three pretty decent ideas: 1) Don't
give lawmakers more time in office, but let them concentrate the time they have in one place where they
might actually learn some of the issues before being
termed out. This is an idea whose time should have
come a long time ago, and the fact that two often-venal
politicians want to use it for personal benefit still
leaves it a good plan. 2) Take at least some redistricting responsibility away from politicians who would
rather choose their voters than allow voters an honest
choice about them. 3) Ban fund-raising during the
most important time period on the legislative calendar.
Every one of these changes deserves serious consideration. But Schwarzenegger, always known for his
far-reaching agendas, wants them all on the ballot at
once, implying that if any one is left off, he might fight
the others as incomplete, insufficient reform.
"If we put these three together, all of a sudden, it
looks like we can clean house and we can create political reform that is real," he told a reporter. "But if it's
just term limits, it smells and it looks self-serving."
The problem with an all-or-nothing approach like
this is that you often end up with nothing.
Getting legislators to limit themselves to as few as
12 years instead of today's 14 might actually strengthen term limits. Getting those same legislators at least
part-way out of redistricting might allow for at least a
few interesting runoff races each year. And taking
campaign dollars out of the budget season might not
solve all corruption problems in California government, but it would surely help.
If only one of these measures appeared on the Feb.
5 ballot along with the presidential choices, it would
deserve support.
Surely, most realists who know that politics usually involves compromise would be delighted to see voters get a crack at two of these measures. But demanding three, and linking them all, might just result in no
changes for the better at all. And what a wasted opportunity that would be.

Food
and
Drug
Administration to approve the
drug sometime this year.
If it gets approved, “we
will have another option for
patients that will relieve the
primary symptom bringing
them to the hospital,” said Dr.
Clyde Yancy of Baylor
University Medical Center in
Dallas.
He led a study also reported
on Sunday of the only drug

designed to hold arteries
open for about six months
and then completely dissolve over the next two
years or so.
No deaths, blood clots or
repeat artery-opening procedures occurred among the
first 30 patients to get it,
and only one mild heart
attack occurred in the first
six months of use, said
study leader Dr. Patrick
Serruys of Erasmus
University Medical Center
in Rotterdam, the
Netherlands.
Much more study is
needed, but doctors say it
would be a welcome alternative to current stents,
which are permanent, foreign metal objects that can

drug -- Natrecor -- looked to
be a blockbuster, but many
doctors avoid it because of
worries that it might raise the
risk of death.
The drug’s packaging was
changed to include more
information about the risk of
death in 2005.
The new study tested
whether regular infusions of
the drug on an outpatient basis
could prevent death and hospitalizations in about 900
severely ill heart failure
patients.
It did not. However, no
extra risk of death or kidney
problems were seen with the
drug.
“I would say those concerns can be lessened,” said
Yancy, who consults for the
drug’s maker, Scios Inc., a
division of Johnson &
Johnson. The company plans
to start a very large study of
Natrecor later this year. The
drug’s label says there is not
enough information yet to
know if the drug brings an
increased risk of death.

“The concept is extremely enticing,” said Dr.
Deepak Bhatt, a Cleveland
Clinic cardiologist who had
no role in the study.
On Sunday, Dr. Marcel
Beijk of the University of
Amsterdam will report what
he termed “early encouraging early results” in 152
patients who received a
stent called Genous, which
is coated with a substance
designed to attract stem
cell-like cells from the
bloodstream to help the
artery heal.
In May, results are due
on Cordis’ experimental
stent, CoStar. Its anti-clotting drug is contained in
tiny wells designed to dissolve over time so that after
about six months, the
device turns into a plain
metal stent.
Medtronic Inc. also is
seeking FDA approval for
its Endeavor stent, which it
claims is less likely to
cause artery inflammation
problems.
“Technologies never
stand still -- they’re constantly improving,” said Dr.
Elizabeth Nabel, director of
the National Heart, Lung
and Blood Institute.
Yet key questions remain
about the safety of all of
these devices. An expert
panel led by Harvard cardiologist Dr. Eugene
Braunwald is finalizing a
report on what the federal
agency’s role should be in
resolving the safety issues,
Nabel said.
The group will recommend whether a new clinical trial, a registry to track
patients or some other solution is needed, Nabel said.

Durant,
Oden on
AP’s team
By JIM O’CONNELL
AP Basketball Writer
If Kevin Durant and Greg
Oden play only one season of
college basketball, it will
have been as All-Americans.
The freshmen were voted
to The Associated Press’ AllAmerica team Monday, the
first members of their class so
honored since 1989.
The 6-foot-9 Durant, who
led Texas to the Big 12 title
game, was the only unanimous choice of the 72-member national media panel that
selects the weekly Top 25.
Oden, the 7-footer who
helped Ohio State to its first
No. 1 ranking in 45 years, was
joined on the team by seniors
Alando Tucker of Wisconsin
and Acie Law IV of Texas
A&M and junior Arron
Afflalo of UCLA. The voting
was conducted before the
NCAA tournament.
Since freshmen became
eligible to play in 1972, the
only ones selected to the first
team had been Wayman
Tisdale of Oklahoma in 1983
and Chris Jackson of LSU in
1989.
Durant, the first Texas AllAmerican since T.J. Ford in
2003, averaged 25.6 points
and 11.3 rebounds, but it was
his all-around game and penchant for big shots in the
clutch that had people ranking
him as one of the best freshmen ever.
“There’s no question
Kevin deserves every individual accolade that he will
receive,” Texas coach Rick
Barnes said, “but the one
thing I respect most about
Kevin is that he is the ultimate
team player. He really doesn’t
care about the individual
numbers and awards. All he
cares about is the success of
his team. When you’re around
a guy like that, it makes
coaching him a joy.”
Durant, the Big 12 player
of the year, backed up his
coach’s sentiments.
“I am not very big on individual honors, but I am very
humbled to be included on the
Associated Press All-America
team,” he said. “When you
look at the other four guys
who are on the team, I am
honored to be mentioned with
them. I have so much respect
for how each one of them has
led their respective teams and
handled themselves, both on
and off the court. I look up to
each one of them.”
Oden, the first Ohio State
All-American since Jim
Jackson in 1992, missed the
first seven games as he recovered from offseason surgery
on his right wrist. As he rehabilitated from the injury he
learned to shoot free throws
left-handed and didn’t miss a
beat when he returned to the

NFL conduct policy still not set
By BARRY WILNER
AP Football Writer
PHOENIX — On the day Las
Vegas police said they will seek felony
and misdemeanor charges against
Tennessee’s Adam “Pacman” Jones,
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell
said a stronger player conduct policy
will not be completed at these league
meetings.
By next month, however, Goodell
expects to have in place the stricter
plan and hopes to make some disciplinary decisions before the April 28-29
draft.
“It’s a complicated issue and there
are no simple answers,” Goodell said
Monday, adding he planned to meet
with coaches and owners in a day or so
to discuss player conduct. “We want to
find out what is working well with the
clubs and what is not working, get a
set of best practices so they can implement them on a local basis.”
“We’re expecting discipline will be
stepped up,” he added.
NFL Players Association executive
director Gene Upshaw has expressed
his support of a tougher disciplinary
policy.
Goodell listed educational programs as a key step, and wants players
to become more familiar with local
laws. In the past year, such players as

Mike Piazza hit an

Eric Chavez homered to

Knights headed to the Final Four Cubs 8, Angels 7
By The Associated Press
GREENSBORO, N.C. —
Good Knight, Rutgers! C. Vivian
Stringer and her scrappy Scarlet
Knights are headed to the Final
Four.
Kia Vaughn had 17 points and
10 rebounds while dominating
the paint to power Rutgers to a
64-45 victory over Arizona State
on Monday night in the
Greensboro Regional final,
clinching the Scarlet Knights’
second trip to the national semifinals.
Matee Ajavon had 20 points,
Essence Carson added 11 and
Epiphanny Prince had 10 points
and 10 rebounds for the Scarlet
Knights (26-8), who led by 24
and held a 48-26 rebounding
advantage in winning their seventh straight.
Now it’s on to Cleveland,
where they will face LSU from
the Fresno Regional on Sunday
in the Final Four.
The fourth-seeded Scarlet
Knights (26-8) almost saw their
season end Saturday when topseeded Duke had a chance to win
it in the final second. But ACC
player of the year Lindsey
Harding missed two free throws
with 0.1 second left and Rutgers
escaped with a stunning 53-52
upset.
The youthful Knights — who
have five freshmen and no
seniors on the roster — had no
trouble dodging a letdown, thoroughly dominating third-seeded
Arizona State and pulling another upset to reach the Final Four
for the second time and first since
2000.
The players hammed it up at
midcourt, dancing as they
donned championship caps and
T-shirts while thanking the several hundred fans who made the
trip to Tobacco Road.
Stringer, the first coach to lead
three programs to the Final Four,
is headed to college basketball’s
biggest stage for the fourth time.

LSU 73, Connecticut 50
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — The
talk coming into the NCAA tournament was about the coach LSU
was missing. It’s the center who
is still dominating the middle that
lifted the Lady Tigers to their
fourth straight Final Four.
Sylvia Fowles overpowered
Connecticut with 23 points, 15
rebounds and an intimidating
defensive performance that led
third-seeded LSU over the topseeded Huskies.
A team in turmoil heading into
the tournament after head coach
Pokey
Chatman
abruptly
resigned March 7 amid allegations of improper conduct with a
former player, LSU (30-7) shook
off any distractions and won four
straight games under acting
coach Bob Starkey.
The longtime assistant for
both the men’s and women’s programs at LSU has an undefeated
record as a head coach and looks
to end his career that way with
two more wins next week in
Cleveland. Starkey said he has no
aspirations to become the fulltime coach.
Connecticut (32-4) will be left
watching the Final Four for the
third straight year after making it
that far the previous five seasons.
This matches UConn’s longest
Final Four drought since making
its first in 1991.
It was the Huskies’ most lopsided tournament loss since losing 75-47 to Vanderbilt in the
second round in 1992.
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Cubs sluggers Derek Lee
and Aramis Ramirez each had three hits and two
RBIs, leading Chicago to an 8-7 victory over the Los
Angeles Angels on Monday.
Angels left-hander Joe Saunders allowed eight
hits and seven runs, six earned, in six innings. With
Bartolo Colon and Jered Weaver opening the season
on the disabled list, Saunders will fill a vacant spot
in Los Angeles’ rotation.
“There were a few bleeders and a few bad pitches,” Saunders said. It was his first ineffective outing
of the spring. “He threw a lot better than his
linescore,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
“Some of the hits were seeing-eye hits and I think
there were four broken-bat hits.”
Lee had two doubles and a single, and Ramirez
had two singles and a double. Cliff Floyd, Henry
Blanco and Ryan Theriot had two hits each for the
Cubs. While the Cubs were getting to Saunders, the
Angels were roughing up Jason Marquis, who gave
up seven hits and four runs in 4 1-3 innings.
Vladimir Guerrero hit a solo homer and Garret
Anderson added a two-run shot off Marquis, a freeagent acquisition for Chicago.
Guerrero, Gary Matthews Jr. and Shea
Hillenbrand each had two hits for the Angels.
“I thought Marquis was OK,” Cubs manager Lou
Piniella said. “I thought he was throwing the ball
OK. What I see with Marquis at times, he starts getting hit a little bit and he wants to throw the ball
harder instead of softening up the game.”
Bob Howry and Scott Eyre closed out the game
with hitless innings for the Cubs.

AP Sports Writer
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. —
Matt Cain went six innings,
catcher
Bengie
Molina
worked nine and closer
Armando Benitez got an
impressive four-out save.
For the San Francisco
Giants, Monday’s 3-2 victory
over the Chicago White Sox
was about as close to a real
game as they’ve played all
spring.
They ended a six-game
skid, too — the club’s longest
in exhibition play since losing
seven straight in March 2001.
Benitez, booed almost
every time he pitched during
an injury-shortened 2006 season, pumped his fist in celebration and received a hug
and a handshake from Molina
after Tadahito Iguchi struck
out on a slider to end it.
Iguchi already had homered,
tripled and singled in the
game.
Benitez, who earned his
first save, also got Gustavo
Molina to fly out to left with
the bases loaded in the eighth.
“It’s good. People can see I
can save the game,” Benitez
said afterward, an ice bag on
each knee and his right elbow.
“You get excited. I like to
come into that situation. You
have to make a quality pitch.
If you make a mistake it can
cost you the game.”
Bengie Molina, the Giants’
new catcher, has been pleased
with Benitez’s performance
this spring.
“He’s ready to go. He’s
ready to pitch. He’s ready to
show everybody that he’s
ready,” he said. “He’s a true
closer. He’s not a joke. ... The
guy can pitch, man.”
The White Sox, meanwhile, are not optimistic
about the health of backup
catcher Toby Hall, who hurt
his right shoulder. He was
injured in the ninth inning of
Chicago’s 10-2 loss to the
Texas Rangers on Sunday and
is expected to miss significant
time with what is thought to
be a torn labrum.
Hall, who was playing first
base and got hurt when he
dove for a groundball, underwent an MRI exam Monday
and the White Sox were
working to schedule an
appointment for him with
Angels orthopedist Dr. Lewis
Yocum for further testing.
General manager Kenny
Williams said the club would
fill the position internally,
with either Gustavo Molina or
Wiki Gonzalez.
“We’ve got to be patient,”
said manager Ozzie Guillen,
who will poll his pitching
staff about the comfort level
with both. “We can’t make
Kenny go out and make deals
if we don’t need it.”
Cain, slated as San
Francisco’s No. 2 starter
behind Barry Zito, had strong
performances in his final two
Cactus League starts and
keeps getting better each outing. He was done with the
first inning on four pitches.
Cain, coming off a great
rookie season, allowed one
run and four hits, struck out
four and walked two in six
innings.
“The biggest thing is just
trying to throw a lot of strikes
and get guys out early,” he
said. “My goal this offseason
was not to walk a lot of guys.”
Barry Bonds went 0-for-3
with two more strikeouts, giving him four Ks in his last two
games.

“It’s just younger guys

age or anything,” he said.
Both played in college in
large part because of the new
rule that prohibits the NBA
from drafting players until
they turn 19 and are out of
high school for one year.

“I think that’s why there’s so
much parity nowadays in college basketball.”
Tucker and Law were
Wisconsin’s
and
Texas
A&M’s first All-America
selections, while Afflalo was
UCLA’s first since Ed
O’Bannon in 1995.
The 6-6 Tucker, the Big
Ten player of the year who
helped the Badgers to their
first No. 1 ranking, averaged
19.9 points and 5.4 rebounds.
Law led the Aggies’ resurgence from an 0-16 Big 12
record in 2003-04 to this season, when they ranked as high
as sixth in the country. The 63 guard averaged 17.9 points
and 5.3 assists while shooting
51 percent from the field.
“It doesn’t get any bigger
than that as far as individual
accolades,” he said. “Your
team can do more, but firstteam AP All-American?
That’s unbelievable. I’m very
excited and happy.”
Afflalo submitted his name
to the NBA draft last season
after leading the Bruins to the
national championship game,
but returned and averaged
16.7 points and was selected
Pac-10 player of the year.
“First and foremost team
goals are always most important, but when it comes to the
All-America team it’s a positive thing,” Afflalo said. “It
shows that other people who
know the game of basketball
understand my contributions
and importance to my team.”
Durant’s 72 first-team
votes gave him 360 points.
Tucker received 64 first-team
votes and 344 points, followed by Law (59, 320
points), Afflalo (52, 304), and
Oden (34, 263).
The second team consists
of seniors Nick Fazekas of
Nevada and Jared Dudley of
Boston College, juniors Chris
Lofton of Tennessee and
Joakim Noah of Florida and
sophomore Tyler Hansbrough
of North Carolina.
The third team has seniors
Aaron Brooks of Oregon, Al
Thornton of Florida State and
Aaron Gray of Pittsburgh and
juniors Jeff Green of
Georgetown and Al Horford
of Florida.
The preseason All-America
team was Hansbrough, Noah,
Ronald Steele of Alabama,
Glen Davis of LSU and
Brandon Rush of Kansas.
Last year’s first team was
J.J. Redick of Duke and Adam
Morrison of Gonzaga, both
unanimous
selections,
Shelden Williams of Duke,
Randy Foye of Villanova and
Brandon Roy of Washington.

Titans cornerback Jones, with
10 separate encounters with
the police, and DT Tank
Johnson of Chicago, sentenced last week to four
months in jail on weapons
charges, have drawn headlines
for their misconduct. So did
nine Cincinnati Bengals who
got in trouble off the field.
On Monday, Las Vegas
police said they will seek
charges against Jones and two
others in a February shooting
at a strip club. The league said
it had no comment on those
latest developments.
But the Titans released a
statement:
“The club is deeply disturbed that the alleged conduct of one of its players has
resulted in felony charges in
one state and accusations of
felony conduct in another
state.
“Since the NFL is preparing to introduce a new player
conduct policy, and since
criminal charges and investigations are in progress, comment or speculation would be
inappropriate. The club is currently reviewing its options
with respect to the player.”

“I’ve spoken to over 50
players on this issue, and they
all believe leadership in mentoring younger players is
important,” Goodell said.
“That’s one of the things we’ll
be encouraging. I’m supportive of creating a player advisory council that would give
me some input, maybe even
into individual cases.”
The NFL did get some
business done, adopting an
expanded program of revenue
sharing designed to help
lower-revenue clubs. The
complex arrangement requires
that a team must be spending
65 percent or more of its revenues on player costs before it
qualifies for the separate pool
of $430 million being made
available, retroactive to 2006.
A franchise also must have
gate revenues equal to at least
90 percent of the league average. Then, the franchise could
not have been sold in the
2006-09 period, and if it has a
new or renovated stadium
with an expenditure of at least
$150 million, it doesn’t qualify for the extra funds.
This plan does not apply to
the $3.7 billion annually in
TV money from Fox, NBC,
CBS and ESPN, or the $700
million from DirecTV, all of
which the 32 teams split
equally.
Qualifying teams share the
extra funds: $100 million for
2006, then $110 million for
each of the next three years.
Once the added funds bring
the team back to 65 percent of

Folding
Continued from Page 1
winner in each of nine categories at the festival in April,
came from a design by Yuval
Atlas, a 16-year-old boy from
Israel.
Yale’s introduction to the
artform, however, did come
from young JapaneseAmerican classmates with the
simple construction of fourpronged fortune-tellers, or as
she called them, “cootie
catchers.”
Later, at age 15, she travelled to Japan for a month,
and said that is where her
interest in the origami and
Japan’s culture was solidified. But architecture and
engineering, as well as a
regard for color, design and
texture, keep her creating the
intricate shapes now.
“About 15 or 20 years ago,
I became aware that there
was a whole ‘nother area
besides frogs and birds,” she
said of the traditional
Japanese shapes.
Yale’s primary interest is
in modular origami design,
which forms small structures
by locking together multiple
origami units in the folding
process.
The trophies this year are
flat, disklike objects made
each from eight pieces of
paper.
The largest design she’s
created used 90 pieces of
Japanese paper and tissue
paper and took a few hours to
complete. While origami, for
Yale, is mostly a hobby done
in spare time, she is inspired
by the work of others who
have made a living off the
art.
Her favorite origami
author, despite not reading
Japanese, is Japanese mathematician Tomoko Fuse.
“The language of origami
is pretty universal,” Yale said
of the diagrams with dashed
and dotted lines used in the
book to demonstrate how to
fold the paper.
She’s looking forward to
the release of a book by
Meenakshi Mukerji, a woman
who was born and raised in
India, but now lives in
California, and mentioned
another Californian, Bay
Area physicist Robert J.
Lang, who puts origami to
practical use.
Lang, she said, has done
consulting work for space
projects and the automobile
industry, particularly, applying folding techniques to airbag design.
But Yale’s work is suited
to the haiku.
“Haikus are very brief and
short, and I wouldn’t want to
do an elaborate design for the
trophies. These are direct,
simple-type designs,” Yale
said. “I think it works.”
Smith-Ferri said the trophies are well-received by the
winners of the haiku competition and noted that Yale will
be on hand to demonstrate
the art of origami at the festival, which is being held April
29 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the
Ukiah Valley Conference
Center.
According to Ukiah Poet
Laureate David Smith-Ferri,
Sherrie’s husband, judging of
the approximate 1,000 entries
in the competition this year,
including one from Romania
and another from New
Zealand, began Monday.

THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL
PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY’S (PG&E)
NOTIFICATION OF FILING OF APPLICATION REQUESTING APPROVAL OF GAS
ACCORD IV SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Background of this filing:
Since 1998, the “Gas Accord” market structure, approved by the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC), has set the rates, terms and conditions of service for PG&E’s natural gas transmission and
storage services. PG&E is scheduled to file a new rate case to reset its gas transportation and storage rates
effective January 1, 2008. The rates currently in effect were approved by the CPUC in December 2004, for
a three-year term (2005-2007), under a previous all-party settlement known as “Gas Accord III.”
On March 1, 2007, PG&E and interested parties representing all segments of the natural gas industry in
California (including the CPUC’s independent Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA)) reached an all-party
settlement to be known as “Gas Accord IV.” This new settlement, if approved by the CPUC, will extend the
Gas Accord III rates, with some modifications, for an additional three-year term from 2008-2010. Some rates
will decline slightly, some will stay the same, and some will increase slightly. The impact of these changes
on retail gas bills will be minimal, and is discussed further below. If approved by the CPUC, Gas Accord IV
will continue to provide rate certainty and stability for PG&E’s gas transmission and storage system.
On March 15, 2007 PG&E filed an Application requesting approval of the “Gas Accord IV” Settlement
Agreement with the CPUC in PG&E’s 2008 Gas Transmission and Storage Rate Case.
Does this mean gas rates will increase?
If approved, the impacts to rates and bills will be minimal—rates for bundled residential gas customers,
(customers who receive gas distribution and procurement services from PG&E), will increase by only 0.5
percent, and bundled small and large commercial gas rates will increase by only 0.6 percent.
A typical residential customer using 45 therms per month would see an average monthly gas bill increase of
$0.33, from $61.89 to $62.22. For the largest industrial and electric generation customers, the Gas Accord
IV rate changes are less than one cent per decatherm, reflecting less than a one-tenth of one percent change
in their total gas cost.
THE CPUC PROCESS
The CPUC’s independent Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA) will review this application filing, analyze
the proposal, and present an independent analysis and recommendations for the CPUC’s consideration.
Other parties may also participate.
The CPUC may hold evidentiary hearings where the parties of record present their proposals in testimony
and are subject to cross-examination before an Administrative Law Judge. These hearings are open to the
public, but only those who are parties of record can present evidence or cross-examine witnesses during
evidentiary hearings.

After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the hearing process, the CPUC will issue a
draft decision. When the CPUC acts on this application, it may adopt all or part of PG&E’s request, amend
or modify it, or deny the application. The CPUC’s final decision may be different from PG&E's proposed
application filing.

There are indications that
you could do very well for
yourself in some kind of side
venture, which is well and
good. However, don’t give
up on your major source
unless your ancillary one
earns far more.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Someone you love and
respect and can usually
depend on may not live up to
your expectations, mostly
because you’re likely to be
too demanding.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- If you really don’t
know what you want or how

GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Usually you’re the
kind of person who sees
value in everything, but a
negative attitude may keep
you from having little to
admire in your ideas or those
of others.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Make an effort to live
within your means, because
if you fail to do so, something you’re later going to
want will be unattainable.
Think more about your
future.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Although you may act and
behave in a manner that
brings you the respect of
your colleagues, you’ll not
deal with your family with
the same considerations,
winning you little praise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

quite difficult to convince
you of this. If you put too
much emphasis in negative

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.

Girl wants to know how to stop sucking her fingers
Dear Annie: I am a 13-year-old girl and a
good student. I love my life except for one
thing. I still suck my fingers.
When I was a baby, I never used a pacifier. I
used my fingers. I have tried everything to quit.
I did manage to give it up for about a year when
my grandmother and I had a contest (if I
stopped sucking my fingers, she would quit
smoking). But when she died of breast cancer, I
took it really hard and started sucking my fingers more than ever.
I realize that I put them in my mouth unconsciously, and when I do, I feel better. All my
problems go away. Now I can’t sleep unless
two fingers are in my mouth. I know it’s
unhealthy and I want to stop, but I don’t know
how. Please give me some tips. -- Sick of
Sucking
Dear Sick: You’d be surprised how many
adults still suck their thumbs or fingers in private because it relieves stress. It’s a carryover
from childhood that has become an ingrained
ANNIE’S MAILBOX

habit. Most experts say children should stop
doing this because of the potential damage to
their teeth, so if you are having orthodontic
problems, you really should stop. Common
cures include covering your fingers with something unpleasant, such as vinegar or bandages.
You also can try substituting something else
when you are under stress, like painting, playing a videogame, drinking a cup of hot tea, or
calling a friend (text-messaging is ideal, since it
would occupy your fingers). If you truly want
to stop, we are confident you can find a way.
Dear Annie: My husband and I are both in
our late 50s. We live in a neighborhood with a
lot of young couples who have children. My

husband is friends with all the guys, and I enjoy
over-the-fence chit-chat with the females, but
that is really all we have in common.
The problem is these neighbors think nothing of asking me to baby-sit, do mending, etc. I
have offered to teach them to sew, but they
don’t see the necessity. Without being rude,
how can I extract myself from this without
affecting the friendships? I don’t mind helping
out in an emergency, but . . . -Underappreciated
Dear Underappreciated: This could be
how those young neighbors find some common
ground with you, but if you feel imposed upon,
there’s a simple way to end the cycle. Say, “I’d
love to help, but I’m just too busy today. Sorry.”
Repeat as needed.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from
“Nameless Wife,” whose husband wanted separate bedrooms. Wow! Now you’re talking! My
husband (of 33 years) and I decided many years
ago to sleep in separate bedrooms. It actually
saved our marriage.
We have completely different sleeping patterns -- he needs eight hours, I need five. He

wants complete quiet. I put the TV on a 15minute sleep timer. He snores like a train locomotive and spreads out all over the king bed
and routinely pushes me into a corner. I’m up
each day at 4 a.m., and he sleeps until 7 a.m.
There was a fight every single night. I said,
“That’s it! Separate bedrooms or separate
lives.”
We remodeled, and he has his own bedroom
and bath and I’ve got mine -- each decorated to
our own style. We greet each other in the morning with “Hey, Doll” and “Morning, Sweetie”
instead of grumbling and blaming each other
for the lousy sleep we had. And when we sneak
into each other’s room -- WOW! and WOW!
What fun!
“Nameless” should take heart. Separate bedrooms have nothing to do with love and everything to do with self-confidence and security.
Who gives a rip what anybody else thinks? The
two of you are all that matters. -- Nightee Night
Dear Nightee Night: Your letter is enough
to make everyone get separate bedrooms.
Thanks for giving us the positive side.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that:
ROSALIE M. MINSHALL be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
X THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and
codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and
any codicils are available for examination in the file
kept by the court.
X THE PETITION requests authority to administer the
estate under the Independent Administration of
Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal
representative to take many actions without obtaining
court approval. Before taking certain very important
actions, however, the personal representative will be
required to give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to the proposed
action). The independent administration authority will
be granted unless an interested person files an objection
to the petition and shows good cause why the court
should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held on APRIL 13,

COURTHOUSE, 100 N. State Street, Ukiah, CA 95482
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state your objections
or file written objections with the court before the hearing.
Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor
of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court
and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed
by the court within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in section 9100 of the
California Probate Code. The time for filing claims will
not expire before four months from the hearing date
noticed above.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you
are a person interested in the estate, you may file with
the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154)
of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets
or of any petition or account as provided in Probate
Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form
is available from the court clerk.

east of the High School

was taking with my

run over!! Instead a
sweet family stopped
and picked me up and
brought me to the
Ukiah Shelter in hopes
that my human would
come looking for me. I
am lucky they have
found a quiet place for
me to hang out, so I am
not surrounded by any

Legislature ponders global warming law
By SAMANTHA YOUNG
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO
—
California
lawmakers
expressed skepticism Monday
about
how
the
Schwarzenegger administration plans to reduce greenhouse gases, illustrating the
difficulty in implementing the
state’s much publicized global
warming law.
Democrats questioned why
the state planned to spend millions of dollars on mechanisms that have yet be evaluated or clearly defined.
“A lot of the language
we’re using here is very
fuzzy,” said Assemblywoman
Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley,
chair of the Assembly Natural
Resources Committee. “I
think we really need to develop something that all of the
public understands.”
The committee held the
Legislature’s first public hearing on how to implement the

money with the future of the
industry in question.
The NOAA said the

opportunity for him as well.
“I have interests in other
things in the wine industry,”
he said.
Fetzer still owns vineyards
in Redwood Valley and said
he intends to stay in the wine
business
in
Mendocino
County.
“I have some other brand
greenhouse gas reductions
called for in the law, which
was signed with great fanfare
last year by Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger.
It imposes the country’s
first statewide cap on emissions of the heat-trapping
gases that are blamed for
global warming. The law
requires California to reduce
emissions by an estimated 25
percent by 2020 — an estimated 174 million metric
tons.
The
California
Air
Resources Board, which was
charged with implementing
the law, has begun hearings
and workshops to sort out how
much the state must reduce its
emissions and what industries
will be asked to do.
The board is considering a
variety of strategies, including
creating new regulations for
fuels and creating a market
that would allow companies
to buy and sell credits to meet
their obligations under the
law, commonly referred to as
Assembly Bill 32.
“This is a critical moment,”
said Ira Ruskin, D-Redwood
City. “Implementing AB32 is
probably a task equally
important as passing AB32.
We have to set the right tone
for the coming years.”
The law is one of the key
ways California lawmakers
are seeking to limit global climate change. Scientists and
experts in various state agencies predict climate change
could diminish California’s
water supply, stress farm land
and forests, and alter the coast
line as sea levels rise.
Debating how to implement the law is expected to be
technically complex and at
times political. While the air
board is preparing its regulations, lawmakers from both
parties have introduced
dozens of bills aimed at reducing greenhouse gases.
River fall Chinook salmon.
Some say the low population
culminated from major fish
kills in the river in 2002 due to
poor federal management
allowing for too much irrigation and leading to drought
conditions.
In December, the House
and Senate passed a bill setting a six-month deadline for a
finalized
comprehensive
recovery plan for salmon on
the Klamath River.
The provision was included
in the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and
Management Act at the
request of Thompson and
Boxer.
It is the first time Congress
has ever required the implementation of a recovery plan.
ideas I’m going to pursue,” he
said.
According to its web site,
Brunton Vineyards “produces
varietals from its Californiabased operations in partnership with wineries worldwide.
The company blends wines
that are prepped for market
entry by sourcing the best of
the fruit produced from partner wineries and vineyards.”
This will be the first
Mendocino County winery to
be folded into the Brunton
label. The company has wine
facilities or vineyards also in
France, Italy, Germany,
Australia, South America and
South Africa.
Its
divisions
include
Vinovenue, a San Francisco
wine bar and Swig, a new
drink for the “hip” young
drinker to be introduced this
summer. The company also
sponsors a NASCAR team.
The sale is expected to be
finalized in late May of 2007.
Raises
Continued from Page 1
Clara Valley Health and
Hospital
System,
earns
$285,744. She oversees the
$1.5 billion, 6,000-employee
system that encompasses the
county hospital, public clinics, department of public
health and other health services.
Kim Belshe, the state
health and human services
secretary, will soon earn
$175,000. She has purview
over a $74 billion budget, 11
departments and 33,000 staff
statewide.
The raises, ranging from 7
percent to 27 percent, and
costing up to $1 million total,
would cover 52 cabinet secretaries and department directors - senior administrators
who manage agencies such as
health and human services,
food and agriculture, and the
California Highway Patrol.
By contrast, most rank-andfile state workers are slated to
receive a 3.3 percent raise in
the next fiscal year.
Schwarzenegger’s cabinet
secretaries (apart from the
corrections chief) actually just
got a raise - an 8.5 percent
bump on Dec. 1, which
brought their salaries up to
$142,582. That money was
supposed to make up for several lean budget years when
there were no raises.
Before that, the last time a
cabinet secretary raise came in
August 2000, when salaries
were boosted 4 percent.
The Legislature last year
granted the governor unilateral power to award raises to
senior administrators, a last-
O N
minute provision tucked into
legislation granting a new
contract to CHP workers. The
salaries could reach up to
$258,125, 125 percent of the
governor’s 206,500 salary
(which he declines), though
that’s not being recommended. To avoid retirement “spiking,” only a portion of the
raises will count toward
retirement each year.
Last
summer,
a
Schwarzenegger aide said he
only planned to use the newfound authority to raise the
pay of Corrections and
Rehabilitation Secretary Jim
Tilton and possibly one other
official. At that time, Tilton’s
salary was boosted from
$129,000 to $225,000.
McLear said the administration hadn’t done enough
research at that point to propose raises for other agency
secretaries and directors.
Lawmakers
reached
Monday refrained from criticizing the governor’s move,
which they ceded the ability to
block. Niello, the Republican
Assemblyman, said he wanted
more details on the comparisons used to justify the pay
hikes before saying whether
he thought they were just.
Several
legislative
Democrats did not return calls
for comment.
Former Contra Costa
County Supervisor Sunne
Wright McPeak said she took
a 50 percent pay cut when she
left the presidency of the Bay
Area Council to work as
Schwarzenegger’s business,
transportation and housing
secretary earning $131,000.
During her three-year tenure,
McPeakoversaw the transformation of customer service at
the Department of Motor
Vehicles to drastically shorten
wait times for customers.
Last year, she took a
$200,000 post as the first
president and chief executive
of the California Emerging
Technology Fund, a San
Francisco-based non-profit
charged with expanding highspeed Internet service to
under-served communities.
The new venture was a
thrilling opportunity, McPeak
said. It also allowed her to
stop wracking up debt to make
mortgage payments and assist
her aging mother.
“I loved doing the job I was
doing,” she said. “I just couldn’t afford to do it any more.”
But the sizable raises could
foster dissension among rankand-file state workers, most of
whom are expected to get a
3.3 percent salary bump starting in July.
“One thing we don’t do is
throw rocks at other state
employees when they get a
raise,” said Tim Behrens,
president of the Association of
California State Supervisors,
which represents 5,000 supervisors and managers who lack
bargaining rights. But “it
would be nice if they’d consider passing along the same
raises to managers as they’re
giving to the Legislature and
agency secretaries.”
