Willits man, 61, dies at county jail
MCSO investigation under way;
medical issues thought to be cause
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office is
investigating the death of a 61-year-old county
jail inmate who was discovered unresponsive
in a medical isolation unit at the jail Thursday
evening and later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Sheriff’s Capt. Kurt Smallcomb said the
death does not appear suspicious but is being
investigated as is standard procedure for any
death at the jail.
“He was in medical isolation for a reason,”
Smallcomb said.
The inmate, who is only being identified as
a 61-year-old man from Willits because his
family had not been notified, was found on the
floor of the Medical Isolation Observation
room by a nurse at around 5 p.m. Thursday.
Smallcomb said the man was in the isolation
room because he had allegedly been involved
in a drunken driving accident days before,
which led to his arrest.
Smallcomb said the man also had other
medical issues. “He had some heart ailments,”
Smallcomb said.
Jail staff, from both the corrections and
medical units, attempted to revive the man by
performing CPR but were unsuccessful. He
was taken by ambulance to Ukiah Valley
Medical Center, where additional attempts to
revive him were also unsuccessful.
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE OBSERVED LOCALLY
The man was pronounced dead at 6:30 p.m.
Thursday.
Smallcomb said the man was booked into
the jail Sunday and had spent his entire stay in
medical isolation because of his medical
issues. He was around no other inmates.
An autopsy was performed Friday, but
results are not expected until a toxicology
report has been completed and returned to the
Mendocino County Coroner’s Office.

Two arrested
in counterfeit
scam at casino

Second-graders at Instilling Goodness elementary school are dressed as doves during a peace parade
Friday at the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Two men who are accused of using fake $100 bills to
defraud casinos out of more than $100,000 were arrested Thursday at the Hopland Sho-Ka-Wah Casino.
Jake Daniels Ewing, 21, of Las Vegas, and Mikael
Inturbe, 27, of Hercules, were arrested on robbery and
fraud charges Thursday following an investigation by
the California State Division of Gambling Control.
The two are accused of theft from slot machines at
more than 20 casinos in Northern California and
Nevada. The four-month investigation revealed the two
men were allegedly bleaching $1 bills and using a home
printer to make the fake $100 bills.
They then allegedly took the bills to casinos and fed
them into slot-machines, receiving credit slips they
exchanged for cash.
According to reports from state Gambling Control,
the two men have been identified on surveillance tapes
passing off the counterfeit bills and were caught feeding the bills into slot machines at Sho-Ka-Wah.
The two suspects also reportedly showed familiarity
with the machines and appeared to know ways to get
around built-in bill validators to avoid detection.
A raid of a room at the Extended Stay Hotel in the
3100 block of Garrity Way in Richmond, where the suspects had been staying, turned up two printers, a scanner, rubber gloves, chemical bleaches, a stack of
bleached bills and several baseball caps the men used to
conceal their identities, according to reports from state
Gambling Control.
Ewing was booked into the Mendocino County Jail
on suspicion of second-degree burglary, conspiracy to
commit a felony, forgery, possession of a bad check and
a warrant for failure to appear.
Inturbe was booked into jail on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance, second-degree burglary,
possession of a forged check, forgery, conspiracy to
commit a felony and a parole violation.
Both men are being held at the jail on a $300,000
bond each.

WEST COAST GREEN CONFERENCE
How green
is my valley
City of 10,000 hosts celebration
By ROB BURGESS
The Daily Journal
“Om mani padme om, om mani padme
om, om mani padme om,” said a group of
children, repeating the mantra as they
walked.
As they repeated the six-syllable invocation of the multi-armed Buddhist deity
Avalokiteshvara, the procession carried
red, green, purple and blue balloons
inscribed with the word “Peace” and
paper and cloth doves of all sizes.
The march was part of the City of Ten
Thousand Buddhas’ celebration of
International Peace Day Friday afternoon.
The ceremony began with the march,
which started at the entrance gates and
snaked across the campus.
The crowd, which also included parents and other guests, then made their way
across the property, through the Hall of
Ten Thousand Buddhas and across to
Confucius Hall.
After students and onlookers were seated, Dharma Master Heng Lyu said being
peaceful toward others began by being
peaceful with oneself.
“Confucius told us we should be
patient and put ourselves in others’shoes,”
he said. “The Buddha emphasized we
should be gentle with each other and ourselves. Then we can create inner peace.”
Lyu’s speech was followed by crystal
bowl ringing, courtesy of Judy Clark, and
the vocal stylings of several groups of students.
In the evening, a meditation for peace
was held from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the
University Building, and featured additional crystal bowl ringing and music provided by the group Voices 3.
The celebration was not limited to the
school, but was recognized worldwide.
According to InternationalDayOfPeace.org, more than 3,500 Peace Day
events took place in 200 countries last
year, including all 192 member nations of
the United Nations.
According to the World Peace Prayer
Society, in 1981 the United Nations
General Assembly passed resolution
36/67 declaring an International Day of
Peace.
In 2001, the United Nations General
Assembly adopted a new resolution,
55/282, declaring Sept. 21 of each year as
the International Day of Peace.

I am attending the West Coast Green Conference at
the Billy Graham Auditorium in San Francisco because
I am designing a house for myself and my family.
Though the floor show bears strong resemblance to the
weekend home and garden shows we all have spent
weekends at, sidestepping the hard selling salespeople,
the list of guest speakers and teachers is as remarkable a
group of forward thinkers as you could find anywhere in
the world.
It is the second year for the conference, and there is
no doubt this year is every bit as successful as last year’s
event. For the record, last year did not meet expectations; it exceeded them in every conceivable way,
attracting more than 9,000 attendees from the building
industry. This year 12,000 to 14,000 have and will be
registering over the next few days. Why has it become
such a watershed event?
Event inventor and organizer Christi Graham has
arranged for the rock stars of what has become “the”
global movement to cast blessings on the church of the
newly converted. It is hard not to notice that these
authors, architects and entrepreneurs are more than
enjoying the spotlight and their elevation to demigod
status. During the opening plenary, featured speaker

Group: Importer, state were
warned about lead in lunch boxes
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO — State
officials and a Los Angeles
company were alerted last
year that lunch boxes imported by the firm from China
contained high amounts of
lead, an environmental group
said Friday.
The state Department of
Public Health warned consumers on Thursday not to use
about 56,000 lunch boxes that
were imported by the company, T-A Creations, and distributed through a state program
to encourage healthy eating
and exercise.
The Center for Environmental Health, an organization based in Oakland, said it
found high amounts of lead in
a lunch box from T-A Creations that was given out at a
summer camp sponsored by a
Hillsborough school.
The center said it notified
T-A Creations in April 2006
and filed a lawsuit the following August that sought to
force the company to stop
importing lead-tainted products. The lawsuit is still pending, and T-A Creations has
refused to discuss a settlement, center officials said.
udj@pacific.net
The Ukiah Daily Journal
“It is outrageous for a company that has long known
about this problem to be so
cavalier about exposing children to lead,” said Michael
Green, the center’s executive
director, in a statement. “We
hope that the state will take
swift action to hold this company accountable for putting
profits ahead of children’s
health.”
An employee at T-A Creations, Stan Cipriano, said all
information about the lawsuit
had been forwarded to the
company’s attorney, who did
not immediately respond to a
request for comment from
The Associated Press.
In filing the suit under
Proposition 65 — a 1986 ballot measure that attempts to
reduce public exposure to
dangerous chemicals — the
center had to notify the attorney general’s office, said
Charles Margulis, a spokesman for the center.
That requirement gives the
attorney general the option of
taking over the case, joining it
as a co-plaintiff or standing
back and letting the private
organization proceed with the
lawsuit, Margulis added.
Giuliani tries to reassure NRA members
of his support for the right to bear arms
The world briefly
Judge denies request to release Jena
teenager, one day after civil rights protest
JENA, La. (AP) — A judge on Friday denied a request to
release a teenager whose arrest in the beating of a white classmate sparked this week’s civil rights protest in Louisiana.
Mychal Bell’s request to be freed while an appeal is being
reviewed was rejected at a juvenile court hearing, effectively
denying him any chance at immediate bail, a person familiar
with the case told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because juvenile court proceedings are closed. Earlier, Bell’s mother
emerged from the hearing in tears, refusing to comment.
Bell, 17, was convicted of aggravated second-degree battery,
which could have led to 15 years in prison. But his conviction
was thrown out by a state appeals court that said he could not
be tried on the charge as an adult because he was 16 at the time
of the beating.
On Thursday, the case drew thousands of protesters to this
tiny central Louisiana town to rally against what they see as a
double standard of justice for blacks and whites. The march was
one of the biggest civil rights demonstrations in years.
The case dates to August 2006, when a black Jena High
School student asked the principal whether blacks could sit
under a shade tree that was a frequent gathering place for
whites. He was told yes. But nooses appeared in the tree the
next day.
Condoleezza Rice orders review of security
practices for U.S. diplomats in Iraq
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice said Friday she had ordered a “full and complete review”
of security practices for U.S. diplomats in Iraq following a
deadly weekend incident involving private guards protecting an
embassy convoy.
Rice’s announcement came as the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad
resumed limited diplomatic convoys under the protection of
Blackwater USA outside the heavily fortified Green Zone after
a two-day suspension because of the weekend incident in that
city.
Rice said she had directed the State Department to examine
“how we are providing security to our diplomats.”
The review will include all aspects of protection, including
the rules of engagement for security guards and under what jurisidiction they should be covered, department spokesman Sean
McCormack said.
While on a plane returning from the Middle East to
Washington, Rice ordered the review on Thursday in a phone
call to the veteran diplomat who will lead it, Patrick Kennedy,
a senior management official, according to McCormack. He
said the review would be conducted as quickly as possible and
might bring in outside experts.
Louisiana, Mississippi prepare for first
brush with tropical weather since 2005
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Coastal Louisiana and Mississippi
prepared Friday for what could be their first brush with tropical
weather since hurricanes Katrina and Rita laid waste to the area
and killed more than 1,600 people more than two years ago. A
tropical depression lurking off the Florida Gulf Coast was
expected to grow into a weak tropical storm before coming
ashore Saturday afternoon, probably in Mississippi.
Tropical storm warnings stretched from Apalachicola, Fla.,
to the mouth of the Mississippi River. Forecasts showed the
system possibly moving as far east as Mobile, Ala., or as far
west as New Orleans.
No evacuations were ordered, but authorities were monitoring the storm closely.
People living in some flood-prone areas of Mississippi were
urged to seek substantial shelter. Officials in the New Orleansarea weighed whether to open shelters or evacuate trailer parks.
Decisions were expected by late afternoon.
Showers were expected to begin Friday evening in New
Orleans. Forecasters said the area could receive 2 to 4 inches by
the end of the day Saturday. Wind gusts of up to 55 mph were
also possible, raising concerns for the thousands of residents
still living in FEMA trailers in the region.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rudy Giuliani sought
to reassure the National Rifle Association of his support for a
constitutional right to bear arms as rivals Fred Thompson, John
McCain and Mike Huckabee contended the former New York
mayor is no friend of gun owners. In a direct appeal Friday to
the powerful lobbying group, Thompson, McCain and
Huckabee stressed their backing for gun rights and record of
siding with the NRA. Giuliani, who once referred to the NRA
as “extremists,” tried to explain his shifting views on the issue.
The NRA’s support is prized as the group blankets its 4 million members with ads, mailings and phone calls. Before the
2008 election, it hopes to increase its numbers.
“I’d like us to respect each other; I think we have very, very
legitimate and mostly similar views,” Giuliani told NRA members, who clapped politely a dozen times during his 20-minute
speech. Giuliani also tried to explain why, as mayor, he joined
a lawsuit by several cities against the gun industry, arguing that
manufacturers and distributors made it too easy for criminals to
get guns.
MIT student wearing fake bomb
arrested at gunpoint at Logan Airport
BOSTON (AP) — Troopers arrested an MIT student at gunpoint Friday after she walked into Logan International Airport
wearing a computer circuit board and wiring on her sweatshirt.
Authorities call it a fake bomb; she called it art.
Star Simpson’s attorney said the charges against her were an
overreaction, but authorities expressed amazement that someone would wear such a device eight months after a similar scare
in Boston, and six years after two of the jets hijacked in the
Sept. 11 attacks took off from Logan.
“I’m shocked and appalled that somebody would wear this
type of device to an airport,” said State Police Maj. Scott Pare,
the airport’s commanding officer. The terminal was not evacuated and flights were not affected, airport officials said.
Simpson, 19, of Hawaii, has expertise in electronics and even
received a Congressional citation for her work in robotics,
according to her lawyer.
Half of the wild bison on Santa Catalina
Island have a little bit of cow in them
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Long thought to be purebred, the
wild bison of Santa Catalina Island in fact have a little bit of
cow in them, the first DNA analysis of the animals found.
Nearly half of the 98 American bison shipped off the island
in 2004 have cattle genes that were passed on through the mother. Catalina bison were believed to be purer than those on the
mainland because they lived in isolation on the island since the
1920s. “We were surprised because there’s nothing cattle about
them. They look like bison,” said biologist Dennis Hedgecock
of the University of Southern California, who co-authored the
study. The research done at USC and Texas A&M University
appears in the latest issue of the journal Animal Genetics.
Scientists believe the crossbreeding occurred long before the
bison were brought to Catalina Island. Hedgecock said the
Catalina herd likely descended from animals on the famous
Goodnight Ranch in Texas where cattle ranchers mated bison,
also called buffalo, with cows to create a better beef animal.
The ranch called the offspring of the union “cataloes.”
Bison have roamed Catalina since 1924 when 14 head were
brought in as extras for the silent film “The Vanishing
American,” though the movie did not include footage of the
bison. The animals became a mainstay on the island and grew
to a herd of 600 at one point.
Chris Crocker hopes to find TV stardom
after ‘Leave Britney Alone’ video
(AP) Chris Crocker has been called “queer,” “a human train
wreck,” the “Britney guy,” an androgynous “it” and much,
much worse. But how does this 19-year-old Internet phenomenon, known worldwide for his tearful YouTube defense of
Britney Spears, define himself? “I’m the key to world peace,”
says Crocker, sporting a sleeveless black T-shirt with a hot pink
silhouette of Marilyn Monroe. His blond bob is swept behind an
ear and the eye liner is, as always, flawless.
World peace aside, the teenager has captured millions of
viewers on MySpace and YouTube with his passionate, campy
and sometimes furious monologues about life.

The Associated Press
SAPULOU, Taiwan -Sixty years after Roman
Catholic and Presbyterian
missionaries first converted
large numbers of Taiwanese
aboriginals in their leafy
mountain
villages,
Christianity here is entering a
new phase. Adherents are
leaving the faith.
Faced with a declining
agricultural economy in their
hard pressed rural communities, more and more upcountry
Christians are moving to
Taiwan’s bustling cities,
where worldly temptations
and a bewildering social
framework are challenging
their beliefs.
At a recent Sunday morning service in the nearby community
of
Laolauran,
American Presbyterian missionary John McCall tried to
rally the faithful, as local hill
tribe pastor Sakulu translated
his Mandarin Chinese sermon
into the aboriginal language of
Paiwanese.
“God loves you and he is
your father,” McCall said.
“You’re all the children of
God.”
But the church was mostly
empty, and the worshippers
included few if any young
adults.
“I used to go to church,”
said Dzwo Ying-gung, who
recently returned to the area to
work at the Dawu Mountain
National Education Center.
“But now I don’t. My faith has
fallen away.”
The attitude of Dzwo and
thousands of hill tribe
Taiwanese like him represents
a fundamental challenge to
McCall and the legion of local
pastors he and his predecessors have helped train at three
Presbyterian
seminaries
around the island.
Ever
since
Canadian
George Mackay came to
Taiwan in 1871, the center of
the missionary enterprise on
the island has always been its
hill tribe people, whose ancestors migrated here from south
Pacific islets about 6,000
years ago.
The Paiwan and others
once proved much more
receptive to Christianity than
their lowland neighbors, who
followed
Buddhism,
Confucianism and Taoism.
Today, some 65 percent of
the hill tribe population of
460,000 is Christian, about
equally divided between
Presbyterians and Catholics,
according to government statistics. That compares with
about 2 percent of Taiwan’s
22.5 million Han Chinese,
who originated on the Chinese
mainland, where they constitute a large majority.
Sociologist Jonathan Unger
of Canberra’s Australian
National University said the
hill tribes were more open to
the Christian message largely
because of the prejudice they
felt from the Han. Other Asian
minority peoples, in places
like southwest China, Laos,
and upland Thailand, also
were more willing to embrace
Christianity, he said.
“It’s a common phenomenon that a minority people
considered inferior in many
respects by the dominant culture will protect itself by turning to a world religion,”
Unger said.
Rangalu, a 45-year-old primary school teacher in the hill
tribe village of Sapulou, said
the discrimination he experienced played a key role in
forming his own Paiwan identity.
“When I was in school in
Taipei the (Han) teacher
would say, ’Look at this
Paiwan kid, he’s so dark, he’s
dirty, don’t play with him,”’
he said. “It really made an
impression.”
His wife Muni, 39, cited
another
reason
for
Christianity’s popularity: the
health care and other social
services provided by foreign
missionaries.
“They were all very poor,
they had very few clothes,”
said Muni, who spent seven
years studying theology at the
Yusan Presbyterian Seminary
in the eastern Taiwanese city
of Hualien. “But the missionaries came and cured them,
they gave them clothes and
they taught them to love
God.”
But now, she said more
local young people are going
to Taiwanese cities in search
of work.
“They are discriminated
against, they lose their connection to the church, they
start to drink, their lives
become unstable,” she said.
Placed near the base of a
steeply rising mountain covered with coconut palms,
stands of bamboo, and verdant
rows of acacia trees, many of
the homes in Sapulou village
are decorated with handsome
wood carvings depicting traditional Paiwan symbols: serpents, warriors holding spears,
and hunting scenes featuring
wild mountain pigs.
Sapulou lies near the southern extreme of the 240-mile
mountainous spine that runs
down the center of Taiwan and
hosts its 13 government-recognized aboriginal tribes.

Sweet land of liberty
NAT HENTOFF

First Amendment
triumphs over Bush
Widening economic
inequalities
On July 4, 2004, President George W. Bush
was in Charleston, W.Va., to help celebrate
Independence Day. In the audience were two
dissenters from some of his policies. On the
front of their T-shirts, Jeff and Nicole Rank
had the word "Bush" crossed out. On the back
of Nicole's T-shirt was "Love America, Hate
Bush."
White House advance-team staff members
ordered the young couple to remove or cover
their shirts or leave the event. Since they were
on public property and were not being disruptive, the Ranks refused, pointing out that they
were within their First Amendment rights of
free speech.
Then there was a disruption. The advance
team instructed the local police to arrest the
Ranks for trespassing and to forcibly remove
them in handcuffs. They were jailed briefly,
and criminal charges were filed against them.
"We couldn't believe what was happening
to us," said American citizen Nicole Rank.
"We tried to tell them we had a right to
express our opinions in a peaceful way, but
they wouldn't listen to us."
They wouldn't listen because they were
obeying the Presidential Advance Manual that
details the ways in which protesters at presidential appearances must be "deterred" and, if
possible, kept out of the sight of the president
and the press.
I am able to tell you about the Presidential
Advance Manual because the American Civil
Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in federal court
on behalf of the Ranks and the First
Amendment. In the course of this legal action,
the White House's instructions on how to
safeguard the president of the United States
from peaceful protest -- even on the Fourth of
July -- were obtained.
The president, I know, reads history,
including American history, and I suggest he
also read carefully the Presidential Advance
Manual, from the Office of Presidential
Advice, released in October 2002 and still in
effect. I believe he will be embarrassed by it,
and I hope he takes appropriate action.
Because of the ACLU lawsuit, appropriate
action in accord with the Bill of Rights has
been taken. Last month, the U.S. government
settled the lawsuit, paying the Ranks $80,000
plus mediation costs, but admits no wrongdoing. Criminal charges against them have been
dismissed, and the temporary suspension of
Nicole Rank from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), where she
works, was lifted.
In this case -- there are others pending
around the country about the First
Amendment's having been clubbed by the
Presidential Advance Manual -- the First
Amendment is no longer imperiled in
Charleston, W.Va.
There is a welcome addition to this partial
redemption of the First Amendment, from
which all our liberties flow, that merits further
attention.
On July 19, 2004, the City Council of
Charleston (not a defendant in this case)
unanimously passed a commendable, patriotic resolution apologizing to Jeff and Nicole
Rank. In what civics classes are left in the
nation's public school system, I suggest this
resolution be obtained and discussed. It
begins:
"Whereas, the founders of this nation
declared that principles of law, enumerated in
a Constitution and its Amendments, would
govern them and those who followed, as
opposed to the arbitrary will and rules of the
King of England (as detailed in the
Declaration of Independence) ...
"That first Independence Day 228 years
ago preserved the right of every citizen to
express himself or herself peacefully (in a
non-obscene manner) ... regardless of whether
that expression is popular, or unpopular ... a
view of the majority or the minority...
"Knowing what we know now, with the
advantage of having information that was not
available to the (Charleston) officers when
they acted ... Nicole and Jeff Rank should not
have been arrested ...
"If Nicole and Jeff Rank did nothing more
than wear T-shirts which expressed their personal views and political opinions, and if that
was the real reason that event officials (following the Presidential Advance Manual)
directed our officers to arrest them, then
Nicole and Jeff Rank deserve an apology ...
and the City does hereby apologize to Nicole
and Jeff Rank."
As of this writing, there has been no apology from President George W. Bush.
Mr. President, there should be.
As Samuel Adams, a principal igniter of
the American Revolution, said, "Driven from
every other corner of the earth, freedom of
thought and the right of private judgment in
matters of conscience direct their course to
this happy country as their last asylum."
Nat Hentoff is a nationally renowned
authority on the First Amendment and the
Bill of Rights.
California is rapidly become a classic example of a
place where the rich get richer and the poor continually get poorer.
That's been true for a decade or more when it comes
to employment, where pay for high-end jobs requiring
college degrees or higher has grown rapidly, while
wages for unskilled labor in fields, carwashes, restaurants and hotels have risen only slightly.
Now the real estate market is creating even more
severe inequalities. Example: In one ZIP code area of
southern Santa Monica, there were two foreclosures
on houses during the second quarter of last year and
two again for the same time period this year.
Meanwhile, in another ZIP code almost 100 miles east
in the Riverside County city of Moreno Valley, there
were 23 foreclosures during the second quarter of last
year and 296 this year. Guess where prices are still
about three times higher. Statewide, foreclosures were
up from about 20,000 during that time period last year
to 53,000 this year.
Strikingly, property values in most neighborhoods
are down this year, but they are actually up in high-end
areas where home prices average more than $1 million.
So the rich are still getting richer, and the poor even the not-so-poor and the middle class - are getting
much poorer, seeing whatever equity they've built up
over years of making house payments disappear in a
price slump and then often having to abandon their
homes when monthly payments on some sub-prime
mortgages rise after three or five years of requiring
only interest.
But that kind of inequality occurs every time there's
a real estate recession like the one in which the entire
nation is mired today.
Even more serious and permanent is the widening
difference between economic classes in this state
spawned by the ongoing wave of immigration from
Latin America, both legal and illegal.
"By slow degrees, California has changed from a
state where opportunities abounded and prosperity
was more broadly shared to one with an increasing
divide between the rich and the poor," reports Jean
Ross, executive director of the Sacramento-based
California Budget Project, a non-partisan analysis
agency. "It makes it harder for working families to
succeed and to give their children a decent start in
life."
A new report from the Budget Project finds the gap
between low-wage and high-wage workers has
widened more in California than other parts of
America.
One reason for this, the study found, is that job
growth in this state has come mostly at the high end
and the low end of the wage scale, while the middle
ground remains largely stagnant.
What the report does not say is that these conditions
are largely the result of buildups in the high technology sector and the steady stream of immigration, both
legal and illegal.
High-technology jobs require education and skills,
unless they are simple assembly line posts. Companies
like Intel, Google, Yahoo, Qualcomm, Cisco Systems
and Oracle, which employ many thousands of workers, offer higher pay and better working conditions
than normal. Fortune Magazine lists all of them
among the 50 best employers in America to work for.
That's partly because their highly-skilled workers are
in constant demand, with headhunters calling many of
them almost daily. The high pay and free gourmet
meals some of these firms routinely provide are ways
of hanging onto their best employees.
But no one would rank any car wash, restaurant
kitchen or vineyard in that category. Jobs there pay
exponentially less than those in high-tech. No free
meals here, either. Not even a taco is gratis.
The low-end jobs stay in that category for two reasons: There is little or no competition for workers
because these positions require few skills. The immigrants who fill most of them are among the least educated to arrive in America in the last century.
Especially the illegals, who undergo no screening for
education, disease, criminal record or anything else, as
legal immigrants must.
As a result, the Budget Project reports about 2 million California families with incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level of $13,690 per year.
These families can offer their children few resources,
often need children to join them and help at their jobs
and they produce a large number of high school
dropouts. One result: school achievement tests show a
continuing gap between Latino children and whites.
All those factors mitigate against future success for the
children. The danger in all this is that extreme distance
between economic classes has often been a harbinger
of social unrest. It was one of the underlying causes of
riots like those in Watts and other parts of Los Angeles
in 1965 and 1992.
This state's government appears utterly oblivious to
the problem, but continuing to ignore it can only lead
to future trouble as rage builds gradually among many
millions of have-nots.
Letters from our readers
Great music
abounds locally
To the Editor:
There was a letter to the editor reminding us how good it is that the Ukiah
School of Music will be able to continue
in its present location, and listing many
local musicians. To that list, we could add
the singers in the Ukiah Valley Madrigal
group and Hesperia. These groups include
professional voice teachers and performers as well as those who are musicians in
their hearts but have day jobs in other professions.
We were able to attend the concert of
the Ukiah Valley Madrigal group last
Sunday in Mendocino, where they presented a great program of English vocal
music, mostly from the time of Queen
Elizabeth I when there was a tremendous
surge of creativity on several other fronts
as well.
In addition, they presented one British
folk song set by Ralph Vaughn Williams,
and the premier of “Nature Never Did
Betray the Heart that Loved Her,” a setting of poetry by William Wordsworth
composed by local musician, radio host,
and writer David Rounds who also sings
in the group.
I think we are lucky to be able to attend
live music events, and this has been a
great summer for various series of music
events. There is the camaraderie of those
who love to hear music and to perform it,
not to mention the moments when everything goes right and the performance
“catches fire.”

Wait for the whole story
To the Editor:
Recently in an article titled, “Students
left of the side of the road,” it is reported
that a local school bus driver requested
that a number of students leave the bus for
being disruptive.
I’m sure all the parents of these kids
only heard one side of the story. I think
that the parents, school board and reading
community should hold their opinions
until they have had a chance to hear both
sides of the story.
I know how all the parents in the area
would like to believe that their children
are little angels, but sometimes youthful
energy gets the better of self control and
little angels become something less.
All parents need to remind their kids
that the driver of the bus is in charge and
the driver’s instruction is to be obeyed.
Unnecessary distraction on the bus places
every person on the bus in harms ways
and can result in a serious accident.
We need the while story!

Good voting bill needed
To the Editor:
AB1294 can bring much-needed
election reform to Mendocino County.
This bill gives California local
governments the option of switching to
instant runoff voting, also known as
ranked voting. Local governments save
money on elections, winning candidates
must earn the support of a majority of
voters, and voters can vote for candidates
they really support without worrying
about “wasting” a vote on a candidate not
considered a “front-runner”. You can learn
more at www.mendovote.org.
Remember the “think globally, act
locally” thing? This is it. Voting systems
and support at the local level creates a
solid foundation for statewide and
nationwide election reform.
AB1294 was approved by the State
Assembly and Senate, but still needs the
governor’s signature. So far, votes have
been mostly along party lines with the
democratic majority prevailing. We don’t
know what our republican governor will
do. You can help by asking Governor
Schwarzenegger to sign AB1294. This bill
doesn’t mandate anything, but gives local
governments control over their own
elections.

Both of these activities happen in the youth room.
A men’s bible study occurs every Thursday night at 7
p.m. in the church library classroom. Visitors are welcome
to check it out. The new series continues focusing on

Free medical services offered
on Sunday
The Tzu (compassion) Chi (relief)
Foundation is offering free services for anyone
with no medical insurance and low income,
including blood pressure tests, blood sugar
testing, dental and chiropractic. The services
are proved by volunteers at the Ukiah Senior
Center. They can only provide certain services
and treatments, and reserve the right to refuse
services to unqualified people.
Because the Hebrew calendar is based on the moon, not
the sun, these holidays do not fall on the same dates each
year. Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year, began this year
with an evening service on Wednesday, Sept. 12, and continued the following day. The Kol HaEmek service is a combination of traditional and contemporary prayers, songs, and
readings, as well as the extraordinary sound produced by the
blowing of the shofar, or ram’s horn.
The High Holiday cycle concludes with Yom Kippur, the
Day of Atonement. The first Yom Kippur service, which
includes performance of the beautiful music called Kol
Nidre, was held on the evening of Friday, Sept. 21.
Celebration of Yom Kippur continues this morning,
Saturday, Sept. 22, and concludes on that day with an afternoon service at which time deceased loved ones are remembered by the reading of their names (known in Hebrew as
“yizkor”). Many observant Jews maintain a fast during this
holiday; traditionally, Yom Kippur ends when three stars are
visible in the night sky, and the fasting ends then, too.
Kol HaEmek is located at 8591 West Road in Redwood
Valley, next to Eagle Peak Middle School. For more information, call 468-4536.
All people of good faith are invited to attend, in particular those of Jewish background who are not presently members of Kol HaEmek. The congregation, formerly known as
the Mendocino County Inland Jewish Community, is led by
Rabbi Shoshanah Devorah and includes Jews of widely
diverse experience and belief.
Pastor Dennis Beatty will continue his series of messages
from the Book of Ephesians this Sunday morning with a sermon titled “God At Work,” from Ephesians 1:6-14.
A highlight of the 10:50 a.m. monring service will be a
solo by Melissa Chaty, recently crowned Miss California.
She is in Ukiah for several appearances related to her platform of “Alzheimer’s Advocacy and Awareness,” including
the recent Alzheimer’s benefit concert on Sept. 8.
“The Joyful Noise,” led by Glenn Hinoki playing his guitar, will visit local care homes on Sunday afternoon, brining
words of encouragement and scripture, favorite songs and
hymns, and greeting and socializing with the residents.
Awana meetings for children three years old through 6th
grade begin on Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 6:20 p.m. the
Worship Practice Team will participate in the upcoming
“Let Your Praises Ring” on Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Ukiah
fairgrounds, along with several other Christian groups. The
event is sponsored by “Celebrate Recovery,” from 10 a.m.
to 8 p.m. All are welcome at no charge.
The Ukiah Valley Friends of the Library will
be holding their annual book sale on Sept. 21
to 23, at the Veterans’ Memorial Building, 239
Seminary Ave., on the corner of Oak and
Seminary.
The Friday hours, 4 to 7 p.m., are for members only, and those interested may join at the
door.
The sale is open to the public on Saturday
and Sunday. The Saturday hours are 10 a.m. to
4 p.m., and the Sunday hours are 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. On Sunday, buyers have the opportunity
to fill a large paper grocery bag and pay only
$3.
A large selection of books will be available,
including collectible and unusual books. Books
for this upcoming sale may be donated at the
Ukiah Branch Library up to Sept. 1.
Books for the 2008 sales will be accepted
after Nov. 1. Proceeds from the sale help to pay
for new books and materials for the Ukiah
Library.
Christian
not nearly as isolated as some
other aboriginal villages in the
high mountain country.
In one of the village’s more
solid looking homes, Kanpi
and his wife Lumiya, both 70,
welcomed a group of foreign
and local visitors with a traditional Paiwan melody embellished with modern Christian
lyrics.
“We welcome our guests to
the house,” they sang. “We
thank the Lord we have all
come together in our home.”
The walls of the simple
structure were covered with
the spoils of Kanpi’s hunting
career -- assorted pig skulls,
eagle feathers, and deer skins.
They served as poignant
reminders of the recent past,
when hunting and subsistence
farming were the core of the
Paiwan existence.
One of the visitors was
McCall, who first came to
Taiwan in 1996 after being
inspired by stories from
retired missionaries near his
home in Black Mountain,
N.C.
A tall, youthful-looking 49,
with a thick shock of salt-andpepper colored hair, McCall
said that after almost 12 years
in Taiwan he remained committed to his mission of helping to prepare young hill
tribes people for ordination
into the Presbyterian ministry.
But mindful of Muni’s earlier remarks, he acknowledged the challenge of keeping faith alive for a new generation of hill tribe Christians.
“In the first generation and
even the second the fire is still
very high,” he said. “But now
the struggle is harder. The fire
is starting to fade.”

Bonds posts farewell message to Giants fans, team letting him go
By JOSH DUBOW
AP Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO —
Barry Bonds was told by the
San Francisco Giants that he
won’t play for them in 2008,
he said on his Web site on
Friday.
But baseball’s all-time
home leader said he planned
on playing somewhere next
season.
In a statement, Bonds said:
“This journal will be one of
my last entries as a San
Francisco Giant. Yesterday, I
was told by the Giants that
they will not be bringing me
back for the 2008 season.”
Giants
owner
Peter
Magowan told Bonds of the
decision in person Thursday
night, said Bonds’ agent, Jeff
Borris.
The Giants planned a news
conference for 5 p.m. PDT
Friday.
The 43-year-old Bonds
broke Hank Aaron’s record
with his 756th home run on
Aug. 7.
Bonds has spent the past 15
seasons of his 22-year big
league career with the Giants,
and signed a $15.8 million,
one-year contract for this season.
Shadowed by steroid speculation for the past few years,
Bonds has hit 28 homers this
season, raising his career total
to 762. The seven-time NL
MVP is batting .279 with 66
RBIs.
Bonds has been mostly
healthy, playing 125 games
going into this weekend. The
left fielder had 2,935 career
hits before Friday night’s
game against Cincinnati.
Despite Bonds’ personal
achievements, the season has
been a disappointing one for
the Giants, who are mired
deep in last place in the NL
West.
“We’ve heard for a long
time that the Giants are an old
team and want to get younger,
so we’re not surprised,”
Borris said. “Barry is their
oldest player, but qualitatively, he’s their best player.”
“He’s still planning on
playing next year, irrespective
of whether it’s an AL or NL
team,” he said.
Bonds has long denied
using performance-enhancing
drugs, but fans across the
country have greeted him with
placards inscribed with asterisks — baseball-fan shorthand
for the belief that his record is
hopelessly tainted by allegations of steroid abuse.
Even the person who paid
$752,467 for Bonds’ historic
756th home run has threatened to stamp it with an asterisk.
In his statement, Bonds
said he believes the Giants

Angels can clinch AL West with win over Mariners
By KEN PETERS
AP Sports Writer
ANAHEIM — One more
win over the Seattle Mariners
and the Los Angeles Angels
are AL West champions again.
Los Angeles beat Seattle 95 Thursday night to increase
its lead over the second-place
Mariners to 9 1/2 games.
The Angels will try to
clinch their third division title
in four years and become
baseball’s first team to lock up
a playoff berth when they face
Seattle on Friday night in the
second game of a four-game
series.
Los Angeles’ Joe Saunders
will take the mound against
former
Angel
Jarrod
Washburn.
In other AL games,
Baltimore beat Texas 6-3 in 10
innings and Kansas City
blanked the Chicago White
Sox 3-0.
The West rivalry turned
heated and led to a scrum at
the mound on Thursday, when
Vladimir Guerrero had to
duck two fastballs by Seattle
reliever Jorge Campillo.
After Angels starter Jered
Weaver hit Kenji Johjima in
the back as he tried to twist
away from the ball in the
fourth inning, Campillo came
in high and tight against Jeff
Mathis in the bottom half,
then threw close to Guerrero’s
head.
Guerrero got back in the
batter’s box, dug in and hit a
two-run homer, his 26th, pausing at home to watch as the
ball cleared the fence.
After Campillo’s fastball
whizzed past Guerrero’s head
in the sixth, the slugger got up
off the ground, pointed and
started toward the mound
before he was restrained by
Seattle first baseman Ben
Broussard and Angels manager Mike Scioscia.
Although both benches —
and bullpens — emptied and
gathered around the mound,
there apparently were no
punches thrown. Campillo
and Seattle manager John
McLaren were ejected.
Scioscia, who notched his
700th victory since becoming
the Angels manager in 2000,
had harsh words for Campillo.
“I don’t know where that
guy came off throwing at
Mathis and Guerrero. If it
came from the bench, it’s
more disturbing,” Scioscia
said. “If that guy’s not suspended for a month, something’s wrong because those
two were as flagrant as they
get.
“Our philosophy’s not to
retaliate. The league’s got to
take some action and I’m sure
they will.”
The usually stoic Guerrero
said he started toward the
mound because he was angry
at the pitch.
Guerrero, relegated to DH
recently because of a sore
right triceps, stood alone next
to the plate while players from
both teams mobbed the
mound, shouting and shoving
before the umpires broke it up.
“If I’m going to get hit,
that’s fine. You can hit me, but
stay away from my head.
When they do it twice, that’s
too much,” Guerrero said
through a translator. “And
what they did to our catcher,
too.”
Asked if he was making a
statement when he paused to
watch his homer, Guerrero
said, “I’m not going to lie
about it, yes. As a hitter, the
way you want to answer is to
take a good swing. I’m glad it
went out of the ballpark.
“But I don’t want to get
caught up in that. It was right
for that situation, but I hope it
doesn’t happen again.”
Weaver said he had no
intention of hitting Johjima.
“That was just one of the
ones of the year that got away
from me,” said Weaver, who
has hit only one other batter
this year. “They proved their
point one time, and there was
no need for it to get that bad.
“Especially going after

Vlade. He’s our superstar, he’s
our guy who’s going to carry
us in the playoffs. For them to
go after him once, then go
after him again is completely
unnecessary. I don’t know if it
was frustrating for them
because we were up five runs
and their season’s kind of slipping.”
McLaren
defended
Campillo, who was pitching
in just his fifth major league
game.
“Guerrero’s hitting .600
against us. We throw the ball
in the dirt and he hits it. The
guy hitting behind him (Garret
Anderson) is their hottest hitter since the All-Star break, so
you pick your poison,” he
said.
“Campillo threw it up and
in and he overthrew it.”
Anderson doubled in a pair
of runs and Howie Kendrick
singled home two more during
a five-run third inning against
Ryan Feierabend (1-5) as Los
Angeles erased a 2-0 deficit.
Weaver (13-7) left with a 74 lead after five innings and
won for the fifth time in his
past six starts.
He gave up nine hits,
including Raul Ibanez’s 20th
homer, a two-run shot in the
fifth.
Cal looks for revenge after Arizona ruined last season’s hopes
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
BERKELEY — If DeSean
Jackson had just kept his toes
inbounds on that final catch
against Arizona last season,
the California star knows he
could have run all the way to
the Rose Bowl.
Cal’s current season has
been all about settling yearold scores so far. The No. 6
Golden Bears (3-0) can get a
measure of payback for last
season’s 24-20 loss in Tucson
— a defeat that cost Cal the
outright Pac-10 title — when
the Wildcats (1-2) visit
Memorial
Stadium
on
Saturday for both clubs’ conference opener.
Despite several mistakes in
last season’s meeting — and
at least three head-scratching
officiating decisions that all
went against the Bears — Cal
could have won on a 63-yard
TD catch by Jackson with
2:18 left. But video review
revealed that the Cal speedster
had stepped inches out of
bounds.
“They played us to the
wire. It was a great game,”
said Jackson, who had 285 allpurpose yards against the
Wildcats. “I honestly feel the
outcome should have been
different. ... We definitely
think we owe Arizona (for)
last year. We could have been
at the Rose Bowl if we hadn’t
lost to them, but we were at
their house, and they got a lot
of good calls.”
While the Bears’ seasonopening
victory
over
Tennessee was about redemption, this meeting with the
inconsistent Wildcats is more
about proving Cal’s Pac-10
predominance.
Except for a Nov. 10 visit
from USC, Cal’s most dangerous conference games are on
the road this season — at
Oregon, Washington, UCLA
and Arizona State. Staying
unbeaten at home, where Cal
has won nine straight, is crucial to the Bears’ hopes of
finally cracking the Bowl
Championship Series.
Cal went 10-3 last year,
earning a share of the conference title and winning the
Holiday Bowl, but losses to
Tennessee and Arizona haunted the Bears into this season.
“It’s not something we’re
going to talk about every day,”
Tedford said — though he
acknowledged mentioning the
loss to Arizona in a team
meeting just hours after last
week’s 42-12 win over
Louisiana Tech.
“I addressed it ... just to
remember that feeling of last
year,” Tedford said. “We did
some things in that game to
beat ourselves, and we can’t
allow ourselves to do that. ...
You have to take advantage of
big plays against these guys,
because you’re not going to

quarter of their game on Sept. 1.
march the ball on them. It’s
not going to happen. They’re
just too solid.”
Arizona coach Mike Stoops
doesn’t share Tedford’s optimistic assessment of the
Wildcats’ defense. His job
security is a hot topic of discussion in Tucson after opening the season with losses to
BYU and New Mexico,
including last weekend’s 2927 defeat in which the Lobos
chewed up Arizona’s vaunted
secondary.
“I just don’t think we’ve
played very good up to this
point,” Stoops said. “I thought
we played better last year than
we have up to this point, for
whatever reason. You really
can’t put your finger on anything. We’re just not playing a
team defensive game. The
pass coverage has been suspect, and obviously that will
have to improve going into
this game.”
The top matchup will feature Jackson going against
Arizona cornerback Antoine
Cason. The two were friends
growing up in Long Beach,
Calif., and they threw playful
trash talk at each other before
last season’s game — and
again at Pac-10 media day this
summer.
“We know each other real
well,” Jackson said. “He’s a
great corner, and I respect him
a lot. He’s a great friend of
mine, but when game time
comes, there’s no friends.”
The Wildcats installed a
spread offense this season, but
it won’t bother the Golden
Bears, who already have seen
two spreads this season — and
go against three of the nation’s
top receivers in practice every
day. Cal’s biggest defensive
concerns are injuries, since
starting linemen Matt Malele
and Rulon Davis and linebacker Zack Follett all seem
unlikely to play.
Tedford is hoping for four
consistent quarters from his
offense after tailback Justin
Forsett carried an inconsistent
passing game last week —
and with a visit to No. 13
Oregon looming next week,
the Bears have only one more
game to get it right.
“A lot of guys are going to
go out there and play hard,
because last year was embarrassing,” said receiver Lavelle
Hawkins, who block-in-theback penalty in last year’s
game nullified Marshawn
Lynch’s 79-yard TD run.
“That messed up our Rose
Bowl out there.”

China blames Taiwan for scuttling Bonds
Olympic torch relay through Taipei
By CHARLES HUTZLER
Associated Press Writer
BEIJING — Bickering
between rivals China and
Taiwan forced Olympic officials to scuttle plans to include
Taiwan in the torch relay for
next year’s Beijing Olympics,
with both sides accusing each
other Friday of trying to play
politics with the event.
After 10 months of squabbling during which Beijing
announced Taiwan’s participation in the relay only to
have Taipei deny it, the
International
Olympic
Committee notified both sides
Thursday that their talks had
reached a dead end. It said
that the Taipei leg would be
dropped.
Recriminations burst into
the open Friday. “China was
not acting in good faith,”
Taiwanese President Chen
Shui-bian said.
The Beijing Olympic organizing committee accused
Taiwan of setting a “vile
precedent” by refusing to participate and injecting politics
into an event that symbolizes
Olympic ideals.
“Responsibility for the
torch relay not going to Taipei
totally lies with the Taiwan
authorities for creating political hurdles, trying to politicize
sports and not heeding the
wishes of the people of
Taiwan,” Jiang Xiaoyu, vice
president of the Beijing organizing
committee,
told
reporters in Beijing.
Disagreements over the
route recurred throughout the
negotiations. But in the end
Jiang and Chen suggested the
talks foundered over Taiwan’s
desire to fly its national flag
during the relay — and
Beijing’s insistence that doing
so violated long-standing IOC
rules governing Taipei’s participation in Olympic events.
Failure to compromise on
the torch relay underscores the
deep mistrust between Beijing
and Taipei, which split 58
years ago amid a still unresolved civil war.
China’s communist government has since sought to
bolster its claims to the island
by getting other countries to
drop diplomatic relations and
force Taipei out of the United
Nations and other international organizations. In a sign of
Beijing’s influence, Taiwan is
allowed to take part in the
Olympics on condition it not
use its national flag, seal or
anthem at Olympic events,
competing
as
“Chinese
Taipei.”
Meanwhile, the democratically governed island under
an assertive President Chen
has fought back, trying to fortify Taiwan’s independent status and resist Beijing’s claims
of sovereignty.
The collapse of the torch
relay talks dealt a blow to the
IOC, which has tried to portray the Olympics as a way to
overcome political differences
between even the most
intractable of foes.
Jiang, the Beijing Olympic
committee official, said
Taiwan was still invited to
compete in the Aug. 8-24
games, but with Taipei ruled
out, the torch would not stop
elsewhere in Taiwan. It has
yet to be decided, he said,
whether the torch will now
travel directly from Ho Chi
Minh City in Vietnam to Hong
Kong, with the originally
planned Taipei stop in the
middle removed.
Throughout the negotiations, Chen’s government disliked Taipei being sandwiched
between
Vietnam
and
Chinese-controlled
Hong
Kong, fearing that Beijing
was using it as a way to blur
Taiwan’s separate status. In
April, Beijing announced its
grandiose plans for the relay,
including stops on Mount
Everest as well as Taipei, only
to have Taiwan immediately
deny an agreement.
Jiang said the Beijing
Olympic committee made it
clear that Taipei was among
22 cities on the route outside
the mainland in the plan that
was approved by the IOC and
that Taipei Olympic officials
agreed to. Jiang suggested that
Taiwan Olympic officials ran
into interference from political leaders who overrode the
agreements
made
with
Beijing.
Steve Flesch takes lead at Turning Stone
By JOHN KEKIS
AP Sports Writer
VERONA, N.Y. — Steve
Flesch shot an 7-under 65
Friday to take sole possession
of the lead after two rounds of
the inaugural Turning Stone
Resort Championship.
Flesch, who began the day
one shot off the lead, was at
13-under 131, one stroke
ahead of first-round co-leader
Jeff Gove (67) and Brendon
de Jonge, who carded his second straight 66. Charles
Warren (65) was alone in
fourth at 11 under.
Rookie Matt Hendrix, a
former star at Clemson, had
his second straight 67 and was
tied for fifth at 10 under with
Chris Stroud (65) and Charley
Hoffman.
Jeff Maggert (64) was
another shot back, tied at 135
with Jeff Overton (65),
Mathew Goggin (69), Briny
Baird (66), Bill Haas (66) and
three others.
Joey Sindelar, from nearby
Horseheads and a two-time
winner of the B.C. Open, and
Robert Gamez each shot a
second straight 68 and were
tied at 8 under with John
Senden (70), Tag Ridings
(69), Johnson Wagner (67),
John Rollins (69), and four
others.
Chad Campbell, who had a
share of the first-round lead,
had an even-par 72 to remain
at 7 under.
With conditions again ideal
on a hazy, humid day with
temperatures in the 80s and a
slight breeze, Flesch started at
No. 10 and quickly built on
his opening 66, making four
birdies and an eagle for a
record 30 on the back side of
the forgiving 7,482-yard
Atunyote Gold Club course,
with its wide fairways and
soft, smooth-rolling greens.
Flesch hit a 3-wood to
within 14 feet at the 562-yard,
par-5 12th hole and made
eagle to reach 9 under, birdied
the next two holes and sank a
15-foot birdie putt at No. 18 to
tie de Jonge for the lead at 12
under.
“If I get that putting going,
that’s my strength,” said
Flesch, who has hit 34 of 36
greens in regulation. “It really
makes the game a lot easier.”
The lone blemish was a
three-putt bogey from 35 feet
on his final hole, which nullified a birdie putt at No. 8.
If not for No. 9, Flesch
would have had a bigger lead.
He made double bogey there
on Thursday.
“I’ve just played it poorly,”
he said. “My putter let me
down. It’s all right. I made so
many putts today.”
De Jonge, a 27-year-old
native of Zimbabwe and a former star at Virginia Tech,
began to move up the leaderboard with an eagle at the
548-yard, par-5 fifth hole, hitting 3-wood to the right fringe
and sinking a 26-foot putt.
That made up for a bogey at
No. 4, and he made four
birdies on the back side to
take the lead until Flesch
came through a couple of
hours later.
“The position that I’ve put
myself in coming into these
last seven events, I have to
play well,” said de Jonge, who
has made only seven cuts in
20 events and is far down the
money list. “You know, I’ve
pretty much got nothing to
lose. It’s almost, in essence, a
seven-week tour school for
me, so I have to play well.”
Gove, who started at the
10th hole, finished with five
birdies on a bogey-free round,
tying de Jonge with a 3-foot
birdie putt at the par-4 eighth
hole.
“Most of my play today I
was staying in the moment,
playing well, staying positive
and trying to stay aggressive
because the scores are low,”
said Gove, who birdied two of
his first three holes and then
reeled off eight straight pars.
“You’ve got to stay patient.
You have to just wait for your
next little run.”

Boyfriend will not make relationship exclusive
Dear Annie: Jerry and I were co-workers
for several years while we were both married
to others. I divorced my husband, and Jerry’s
been separated for three years. At some point,
we decided to start dating and have had an onand- off relationship ever since. We always
have a great time together, talk almost every
day on the phone and see each other once or
twice a week.
Jerry said from the start that he didn’t want
our relationship to be exclusive. He thought he
owed it to himself to “see what else is out
there,” as he’d been married to the same
woman for 20 years. I begrudgingly accepted
his terms.
Periodically, Jerry will think we are talking
and seeing each other too much. Of course, this
breaks my heart because I am in love with him.
We’ll stop seeing each other but are usually
calling again within the week. He tells me he

we end up in this on-again-off-again cycle,

until he steps back.
The last time, I made an effort to date other
men. I’m doing the Internet thing, but without

has let you know he’s not as “in love” as he
thinks he ought to be. So when he eventually
figures out what he wants, it might not be you.
It is foolish to put all your eggs in his wobbly
basket. Let Jerry know you are interested in
seeing him, but you are both free to date others.
Keep looking.
Dear Annie: There is a morbidly obese man
in his mid-60s in my neighborhood who is constantly outside working in his yard with no
shirt on. He’s sweaty and wears mid-length
shorts so low that his “plumber’s crack” shows.
He certainly could wear a bigger bra than I do.
How do I go about letting this man know how
gross he looks? Evidently his wife is oblivious.
-- Arizona
Dear Arizona: Sorry. Unless he’s working
in your yard, you have no say in how he looks,
how he dresses and what size bra he ought to
wear. He may not be pretty, but this is one of
those things neighbors put up with. If you don’t
want to see him, close your blinds.
Dear Annie: This is in response to
“Desperate in Texas,” whose husband spends
his paycheck on booze while she ends up paying all the bills, including putting aside gas
money for his car. I could have written that letter 23 years ago.
I have been in the same situation, and

believe me, things will not get better. There
will be no Christmas, birthday or Mother’s Day
cards because he “has no money” to buy these
things. When both of you go out for a meal,
you will be the one paying. If we had done better with our finances, we could have owned our
own home by now, but because he drank up
most of our assets, our credit is ruined.
Please tell her to take some positive action.
If he has no money for gas, let him find another mode of transportation. If she doesn’t pay
his personal bills, he just might smarten up. He
has to take responsibility for his own actions. I
did not make him do this, and now I find
myself -- Heading for Divorce Court in
Montreal
Dear Montreal: Thanks for your words of
experience. Of course, for “Texas,” there is
more going on than money mismanagement,
and we hope she will get some help soon.

ADVERTISING
gets read. gets remembered.
gets results!
With so many advertising
mediums dividing the attention of
potential customers, newspapers
remain the most effective source
for reaching consumers. Why?
Simply put, newspapers reach
more people, more often. Highly
portable and highly visible,
newspaper ads go with people
and stay with them.
That means your business is more
likely to be on their minds when
they’re in the market for related
products or services. When it
comes to spending your
advertising dollars, make the
choice that’s tried and true:
Newspaper advertising works
harder for you.

Susan Susanka, author of
“The Not So Big House,”
seems to be more cheerleader
than architectural designer. It
is hard to say at this point
whether the producers of the
conference are visionaries or
bandwagon jumpers, but it is a
bandwagon and they are now
driving it.
In all honesty I have come
to listen to the old rock stars,
the ones who have been working with the same motivations
for the last 35 years and are
famous now only because a
global movement has sauntered up behind them to offer
carrying the torch.
Dan Smith, for instance, is
an architect out of Berkeley,
who has spearheaded the
design and code authoring of
straw-bale building in the
state. Some of his original
designs were located in
Anderson Valley at the
Shenoa community in Philo.
This project has been the germination for several other
homes, including valley
dwellers Mike and Maureen
Bowman’s house on the eastern slopes of the valley.
When I first saw the heart
of their house, an entry, living,
dining, kitchen area, I was
amazed at the amount of glazing overlooking the western
view of the valley. “The tradeoff with the highly insulative,
straw-bale more than compensates for any loss of temperature to highly efficient glazing,” Mike Bowman assures
me.
Smith, in his talk, allayed
my two fears concerning
straw-bale: moisture invasion
and structural integrity.
Working with scientific testing labs he and his associates
have determined exceptional
load-bearing abilities in a
plaster covered straw-bale
configuration. Still, California
code requires a minimal postand-beam structural component to mollify the seismic
code requirements in our
earthquake-prone area of the
world. Minimal post-andbeam greatly reduces framing
material. As for moisture infiltration, having the wall functioning as the skin to a conditioned interior space more
than adequately dispels any
buildup of moisture.
Steve Wood, an associate at
Ron Verdier Architects, of
Boonville, was one of the
builders of the Bowman house
and recommended the Smith
lecture. Acknowledging my
cynicism, Steve recalls a
quote from a forgotten
philosopher who advocated
having a pessimism of the
mind while maintaining an
optimism of the will.
Ron Verdier concurs, “It
starts with modesty. Saying
you want to build green and
then ask for a 6,000 sq. ft.
house. That’s irresponsible.
Can you imagine the
resources it would take if
everyone had a house that
size?” Verdier likewise takes
umbrage with magazines that
hand out “green” awards to
houses approaching these outlandish proportions.
Cynicism aside, however, it
is clear there is no longer an
inkling of a viable debate concerning the human cost to the
ozone and that a failure to
change our current manners of
construction cannot be sustained much past our generation. The conference is at the
very least a confluence of
bright, energized people who
understand what is at stake.

the planning stages of building a
new home in the Anderson Valley,
where he resides with his wife
and son.
