Uncle Sam a local tradition<br />
By LAURA MCCUTCHEON<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> Fourth of July in <strong>Ukiah</strong> without John<br />
Bogner would be like Christmas without Santa<br />
Claus.<br />
In fact, over the course of some 25 years<br />
playing the patriotic figure Uncle Sam, children<br />
have mistaken Bogner’s white wig and<br />
fake beard <strong>for</strong> that of Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick.<br />
Others simply seek his reassurance year after<br />
year by asking him, “You are going to be<br />
Uncle Sam aren’t you?”<br />
Every Independence Day, Bogner - a local<br />
Realtor the other 364 days of the year - puts<br />
on his flashy red, white and blue getup -which<br />
includes a blue sequined jacket, candy<br />
cane pants and an American flag top hat -- and<br />
greets spectators at the local fireworks show,<br />
giving away 2,000 to 3,000 decorative flags in<br />
the process.<br />
“When you go into the stands and see<br />
everybody waving them, it just tugs at your<br />
heart,” he said, noting some people even bring<br />
their old flags with them to the event.<br />
“I get into the character aspect of being<br />
Uncle Sam to the people,” the charismatic<br />
Bogner said. “<strong>The</strong>y are there to have a really<br />
good time and play along with it. People like<br />
the idea; it’s like seeing Mickey at Disneyland.<br />
At least a couple times over the years young<br />
kids have asked me if I am Santa Claus. ... <strong>The</strong><br />
men, especially the more mature ones, they<br />
would come in with a more serious attitude.<br />
I’d ask them things like, ‘Did you pay your<br />
taxes?’ or tell them, ‘Your taxes weren’t<br />
enough and I need more’ and then I’d get a big<br />
smile,” Bogner said.<br />
Others, he said, young, old, men, women,<br />
put on something red, white and blue. ... such<br />
as earrings or face paint. “Husbands and wives<br />
wear matching T-shirts. .. People get into it and<br />
they really enjoy it. I always leave there feel-<br />

Isaac Eckel/<strong>The</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong>---<br />
For the past 25 years, John Bogner has<br />
trans<strong>for</strong>med himself into the iconic<br />
Uncle Sam <strong>for</strong> the Fourth of July in<br />
<strong>Ukiah</strong>.<br />
On the one hand, Willits’<br />
share of state growth<br />
assigned to Mendocino<br />
County is 436 new housing<br />
units between 2001 and<br />
2008. Failure to meet the<br />
goal could mean <strong>for</strong>feit of<br />
Who is<br />
Uncle Sam?<br />
Some may associate him with the<br />
Army ... others with the Fourth of July,<br />
but just who was the real Uncle Sam?<br />
“<strong>The</strong> exact origins of Uncle Sam as a<br />
symbol <strong>for</strong> the United States are<br />
unknown. But the most widely accepted<br />
theory is that Uncle Sam was named<br />
after Samuel Wilson,” states an article<br />
on bensguide.gpo.gov.<br />
“During the War of 1812, Samuel<br />
Wilson was a businessman from Troy,<br />
N.Y. that supplied the U.S. Army with<br />
beef in barrels. <strong>The</strong> barrels were<br />
labeled ‘U.S.’ When asked what the initials<br />
stood <strong>for</strong>, one of Wilson’s workers<br />
crucial state funding.<br />
Although there has been<br />
no official count, the city is<br />
probably about a third of the<br />
way to the required target.<br />
Projects approved since<br />
2001 include a 20-unit sub-<br />
said it stood <strong>for</strong> Uncle Sam Wilson. <strong>The</strong><br />
suggestion that the meat shipments<br />
came from ‘Uncle Sam’ led to the idea<br />
that Uncle Sam symbolized the federal<br />
government and the association stuck.<br />
In 1961, Congress passed a resolution<br />
that recognized Samuel Wilson as the<br />
inspiration <strong>for</strong> the symbol Uncle Sam,”<br />
states the article, which notes that the<br />
real Sam Wilson looked nothing like<br />
Uncle Sam’s traditional appearance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> white goatee and star-spangled<br />
suit is an invention of artists and political<br />
cartoonists, according to the article.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> most famous picture of Uncle<br />
Sam appeared on an Army recruiting<br />
poster. <strong>The</strong> poster was designed in<br />
World War I, and was used in World<br />
War II. <strong>The</strong> caption reads, ‘I Want You<br />
<strong>for</strong> the U.S. Army,’” states the article at<br />

Vets to get<br />
job training<br />
New program aimed at<br />
homeless veterans too<br />
By KATIE MINTZ<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong><br />
Veterans who have served their<br />
country are now getting some help in<br />
return.<br />
North Bay Veterans Resource<br />
Centers, a division of Vietnam Veterans<br />
of Cali<strong>for</strong>nia, has received a $200,000<br />
grant to provide veterans from all eras<br />
in Mendocino, Lake and Sonoma counties<br />
with job training and career placement<br />
services.<br />
<strong>The</strong> grant comes as part of the $26<br />
million awarded nationwide -- $1.4<br />
million of which went to Northern<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia organizations -- by the<br />
Department of Labor’s Veterans'<br />
Work<strong>for</strong>ce Investment Program and<br />
Homeless Veterans Reintegration<br />
Program in late June.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se $26 million in grants are to<br />
help nearly 17,000 veterans build<br />
careers and a bright future <strong>for</strong> themselves<br />
and their families,” U.S.<br />
Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chow<br />
said.<br />
“This is our second tri-county grant<br />
and I’m proud to say that I helped write<br />
it,” Marcy Orosco, work<strong>for</strong>ce development<br />
program manager <strong>for</strong> North Bay<br />
Veterans Resource Centers, said. She<br />
oversees the tri-county division which<br />
is comprised of Mendocino, Lake and<br />
Sonoma counties. <strong>The</strong> grant, she<br />
explained, amounts to $600,000 in all,<br />
which will be spread equally over three<br />
years.<br />

Season’s first<br />
snakebite<br />
a reminder<br />
By JAMES ARENS<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong><br />
<strong>Ukiah</strong> Valley’s first rattlesnake bite<br />
victim was at <strong>Ukiah</strong> Valley Medical<br />
Center over the weekend.<br />
It’s a reminder that rattlesnake season<br />
is upon us.<br />
Walkers, hikers and climbers especially<br />
should be aware of their surroundings<br />
but anyone enjoying the<br />
summer outdoors should be cautious of<br />
rattlesnakes, which are Cali<strong>for</strong>nia’s<br />
only native venomous snake and can be<br />
found all over the state.<br />
“This past weekend we had a gentleman<br />
come in <strong>for</strong> a rattlesnake bite and<br />
treated him with anti-venom,” said<br />
Susan Reed, pharmacy director at<br />
<strong>Ukiah</strong> Valley Medical Center. “We<br />
keep about 12 vials of anti-venom on<br />
hand and it usually takes about four<br />
vials per bite.” <strong>The</strong> victim arrived at<br />
UVMC on Saturday and was the first<br />
person of the year to be treated. “He<br />
was the first patient to be treated <strong>for</strong> a<br />
rattlesnake bite and we average about<br />
one to two bites a year. <strong>The</strong> anti-venom<br />
costs thousands of dollars per vial but<br />
has a long shelf life with our vials good<br />
until Jan. 2009.”<br />
Rattlesnakes are found in many different<br />
varieties of habitats ranging from<br />
deserts, prairies, mountains and can<br />
even be found at sea level. <strong>The</strong>ir ideal<br />
habitat is where they have a constant<br />
and abundant supply of food from<br />
rodents to birds to frogs or even other<br />
snakes.<br />
“We don’t keep numbers on rattlesnakes<br />
but some years they are down<br />

Ex-soldier charged with rape<br />
of Iraqi woman, killing of family<br />
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A <strong>for</strong>mer soldier discharged<br />
because of a “personality disorder” was accused in federal court<br />
Monday of executing an Iraqi family so he and other troops<br />
could rape and murder a young woman they had been eyeing at<br />
a traffic checkpoint.<br />
Steven D. Green, a skinny, 21-year-old <strong>for</strong>mer private, was<br />
led into court wearing baggy shorts, flip-flops and a Johnny<br />
Cash T-shirt. He spoke only to confirm his identity and stared<br />
as a federal magistrate ordered him held without bond on murder<br />
and rape charges that carry a possible death penalty.<br />
Green became the first person identified in the latest case of<br />
alleged killings of Iraqi civilians by U.S. troops, horrific deaths<br />
discovered in a burning house near Mahmoudiya in March that<br />
military officials initially blamed on insurgents.<br />
Green, who was arrested Friday in the town of Marion northwest<br />
of Charlotte, is being prosecuted in federal, rather than<br />
military court because he is no longer in the Army. According<br />
to the affidavit, his 11-month-stint ended “be<strong>for</strong>e this incident<br />
came to light” when he was given an honorable discharge “due<br />
to a personality disorder.”<br />
Inconclusive presidential race<br />
tests Mexico’s young democracy<br />
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s young democracy faced<br />
its greatest test yet Monday as the pro-business Felipe Calderon<br />
declared himself president-elect with a 380,000-vote advantage<br />
and his leftist rival vowed to scrutinize every last ballot against<br />
the possibility of fraud while signaling to his followers to<br />
remain calm.<br />

ACCIDENT -- Only minor<br />
injuries were suffered when a<br />
car carrying a driver with one<br />
officials said a preliminary count gave the conservative<br />
Calderon an edge of 1 percentage point over Mexico City’s <strong>for</strong>mer<br />
mayor, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, but refused to<br />
declare a winner until an official count begins Wednesday.<br />
Sunday night’s quick count, which election officials had<br />
hoped would show the winner, proved too close to call, setting<br />
off days of uncertainty and cries of fraud by fervent Lopez<br />
Obrador backers, still bitter over the many manipulations of the<br />
vote that kept the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, in<br />
power <strong>for</strong> seven decades until 2000.<br />
Many had predicted violent street protests if the vote was too<br />
close to call, but Lopez Obrador’s supporters — many of them<br />
poor — were apparently waiting <strong>for</strong> orders from the leader they<br />
revere with a messianic devotion. He was holed up in his apartment<br />
with top aides to figure out his next move.<br />
NASA weighs July 4 shuttle launch<br />
after finding chunk of foam insulation<br />
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA wrestled Monday<br />
with whether to try a Fourth of July space shuttle liftoff after the<br />
startling discovery of a small chunk of foam insulation that<br />
broke off Discovery’s fuel tank as it sat on the launch pad.<br />
<strong>The</strong> troubling find came after inspectors discovered a 5-inchlong<br />
crack in the foam — a problem that continues to vex<br />
NASA ever since a big piece of foam brought down Columbia<br />
and killed seven astronauts in 2003.<br />
NASA managers were meeting Monday evening to decide<br />
how to tackle the problem and whether a Tuesday launch was<br />
possible.<br />
At least one member of the panel of experts that investigated<br />
the Columbia accident said he was nervous about the decision.<br />
“If those guys aren’t more nervous than I am, they’ve<br />
become jaded and should resign their positions,” said Nobel<br />
Prize-winning physicist Douglas Osheroff. But two of<br />
Osheroff’s accident board colleagues said they were com<strong>for</strong>table,<br />
with board chairman Harold Gehman Jr. saying, “It looks<br />
to me like they are following the right decision processes.”<br />

Militants holding soldier give<br />
Israel 24 hours to start<br />
releasing Palestinian prisoners<br />
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Militants gave Israel 24<br />
hours starting Monday to begin releasing hundreds of<br />
Palestinian prisoners, implying they would kill an abducted<br />
Israeli soldier if their demands were not met.<br />
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert rejected any negotiations<br />
with the militants, and the army pressed ahead with its Gaza<br />
offensive. Privately, though, some Israeli officials said the government<br />
had not ruled out any options to win Cpl. Gilad Shalit’s<br />
freedom.<br />
Israel has pounded Gaza with airstrikes and artillery shells<br />
<strong>for</strong> nearly a week in an unsuccessful ef<strong>for</strong>t to <strong>for</strong>ce the militants<br />
to release Shalit. It has been building up troops across from<br />
northern Gaza, preparing <strong>for</strong> an invasion.<br />
After Shalit was seized in a June 25 raid on an army post that<br />
left two comrades dead, his captors demanded Israel free all<br />
imprisoned Palestinian women and minors in exchange <strong>for</strong><br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation about him. <strong>The</strong>y later increased their demand to<br />
include the release of a further 1,000 prisoners.<br />
Early Monday, Hamas’ military wing — one of the three<br />
groups holding him — issued a statement giving Israel until 6<br />
a.m. Tuesday (11 p.m. EDT Monday) to “start” freeing the prisoners.<br />
Rising rates, higher gas prices make it<br />
harder <strong>for</strong> consumers to handle debt<br />
NEW YORK (AP) — Rising interest rates and higher gasoline<br />
prices are putting the squeeze on consumers’ budgets, and<br />
many are finding it harder to keep up with their bills.<br />
Credit counseling agencies say that consumers are coming in<br />
droves seeking help.<br />
“My phones are going crazy,” said Howard Dvorkin, president<br />
of the nonprofit Consolidated Credit Counseling Services<br />
Inc. in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “Consumers are carrying an exorbitant<br />
amount of debt — and they don’t have any savings to fall<br />
back on if things don’t go right.”<br />
An important measure of consumer financial distress, late<br />
payments on credit cards, ticked up in the first quarter, according<br />
to figures from the American Bankers Association. <strong>The</strong><br />
Washington, D.C., based trade group said the percentage of<br />
bank cards 30 or more days past due increased to 4.40 percent<br />
in the January-March quarter from 4.27 percent in the final<br />
quarter of 2005.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Federal Reserve’s decision last week to raise short-term<br />
interest rates <strong>for</strong> the 17th consecutive time will boost yet again<br />
borrowing costs <strong>for</strong> consumers, likely prompting more delinquencies<br />
on credit card bills — as well as on auto loans and<br />
mortgages.<br />
to the collision.<br />
Following the collision, the<br />
driver of the yellow and black<br />
motorcycle uprighted his<br />
vehicle and fled the scene<br />
traveling southbound on U.S.<br />
101 at a high rate of speed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> yellow and black<br />
motorcycly probably suffered<br />
some damage, and its driver<br />
also was likely injured in the<br />
collision.<br />
<strong>The</strong> collision remains<br />
under investigation.<br />

6. Repeat, rest, continue with<br />
other yoga poses, or move on the<br />
next part of your full day!<br />
el, your neck and shoulders are<br />
likely to be tight. Sleeping in a<br />
strange bed or handling the frustrations<br />
of long check-in lines is<br />
not the best <strong>for</strong> relaxation! A little<br />
on-the-spot yoga is a small gift<br />
you can give to yourself.<br />
Many yoga poses are great <strong>for</strong><br />
reducing cramps or aches,<br />
increasing circulation and<br />
decreasing swelling in the feet.<br />
Some airlines now even offer an<br />
illustrated yoga routine you can<br />
do right in your seat. I’ve been on<br />
a flight that even offered a short<br />
yoga film. If you only try one or<br />
two of the poses, you’ll see it can<br />
shift your mood quickly, helping<br />
you feel more energized and<br />
relaxed. You can even practice<br />
invisible yoga by focusing on<br />
your breath and simply exhaling<br />
slowly! “Sigh” your breath out<br />
occasionally and intentionally roll<br />
your shoulders back and down as<br />
you exhale. Simply bringing your<br />
attention to your breathing, taking<br />
a moment to feel your body<br />
release each breath can be delightfully<br />
calming while you stand in<br />
line, sit in traffic, or wait <strong>for</strong> sleep<br />
to in a strange bed.<br />
Of course, as a yoga teacher, I<br />
believe it’s ideal to practice a<br />
series of yoga poses that addresses<br />
every area of the body.<br />
However, the world of travel is<br />
less than ideal, so when you only<br />
have a few minutes or are in a<br />
public place there are a number of<br />
yoga stretches that can work wonders<br />
quickly. Below is one that is<br />
a gem <strong>for</strong> your travel kit.<br />

On-the-Go Back Relief:<br />
Half Forward Bend<br />
(Ardha Uttanasana)<br />
<strong>The</strong> pose that yoga student<br />
Ginny Waters is enjoying in the<br />
photo above is one of my all time<br />
best <strong>for</strong> releasing pain and stiffness<br />
in the back of the body. It’s<br />
an essential stretch after you’ve<br />
spent a long time seated. Use a<br />
window ledge, table, wall, chair<br />
back, kitchen counter or a tree as<br />
a support <strong>for</strong> the pose.<br />
1. Place your hands on your<br />
support. Depending on your flexibility<br />
(and what’s available), they<br />
hands can be head, shoulder, or<br />
chest height. <strong>The</strong>y should be<br />
spread apart just a little wider<br />
than your shoulders. If your hamstring<br />
muscles (the back of the<br />
thighs) are tight, you may want to<br />
have your hands higher so that the<br />
stretch in your legs and back is<br />
com<strong>for</strong>table and not painful.<br />
2. Step back a few feet so that<br />
your hips are directly over your<br />
heels. <strong>The</strong> crucial point is this:<br />
Bend at the hips, not at the waist.<br />

Free eye-care from<br />
Redwood Empire<br />
Lions Club<br />
As a member of the Lions Eye<br />
Foundation of Cali<strong>for</strong>nia-Nevada,<br />
Inc., the Redwood Empire Lions<br />
Club is able to provide assistance<br />
<strong>for</strong> those in need of surgical eye<br />
care but who lack insurance or have<br />
limited finances. Qualifying patients<br />
can receive free surgical eye care at<br />
the Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Pacific Medical<br />
Center in San Francisco. This<br />
includes all surgical care, laser treatments,<br />
appointments, MRIs, blood<br />
draws, diagnostics, EKGs, and<br />
numerous other procedures. <strong>The</strong><br />
foundation will also pay <strong>for</strong> medications<br />
and motel rooms <strong>for</strong> patients<br />
having surgery. <strong>The</strong> mission of the<br />
Lions and the Foundation is “to pre-<br />
serve and restore the gift of sight by<br />
providing free ophthalmic examinations,<br />
operations and medications to<br />

Since its organization in 1917,<br />
Lions Clubs International has had a<br />
service commitment to the community<br />
as the primary goal. In 1925,<br />
Helen Keller addressed the Lions at<br />
the international convention and<br />
challenged the Lions to become the<br />
“knights of the blind in the crusade<br />
against darkness.” <strong>The</strong> Lions took<br />
up that challenge and since then has<br />
been providing service and care to<br />
those in darkness.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Redwood Empire Lions Club<br />
has provided free eyeglasses and<br />
exams to those without insurance<br />
and with limited finances since its<br />
charter more than 35 years ago. In<br />

Ask Dr. Gott<br />
By Dr. Peter H. Gott, M.D.<br />
Treatment<br />
available <strong>for</strong><br />
facial pain<br />
DEAR DR. GOTT: My<br />
wife suffers from trigeminal<br />
neuralgia (facial pain), <strong>for</strong><br />
which I am told there is no<br />
cure, and there is no guarantee<br />
she can be cured if she<br />
has an operation <strong>for</strong> this<br />
problem.<br />
She was prescribed<br />
Tegretol when she first got<br />
this problem approximately<br />
six years ago, and she had to<br />
be taken off it, as it created<br />
liver problems. She is<br />
presently taking gabapentin,<br />
400 milligrams.<br />
I would like to get your<br />
view and opinion about what<br />
medication can ease the pain.<br />
I'd also like the opinion of<br />
your readers who have neuralgia<br />
and keep it under control.<br />
DEAR READER:<br />
Trigeminal neuralgia is a<br />
painful ailment caused by<br />
inflammation of a facial<br />
nerve. Ordinarily, the therapy<br />
you mentioned controls the<br />
pain. However, if it fails to<br />
do so, your wife should be<br />
examined by a neurologist,<br />
who may suggest more<br />
involved treatment, such as<br />
gamma knife therapy, which<br />
uses radiation to reduce<br />
inflammation.<br />
To give you and your wife<br />
related in<strong>for</strong>mation, I am<br />
sending you a copy of my<br />

Chronic Pain." Other readers<br />

DEAR DR. GOTT: I had<br />
to write to you to let you<br />
know that I am a faithful user<br />
of castor oil <strong>for</strong> the arthritis<br />
in my legs and knees. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
were once unbearable, they<br />
hurt so badly. I've come a<br />
long way since then. I have<br />
very little pain, but I will not<br />
give up. I continue using it<br />
every morning and evening<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e retiring <strong>for</strong> bed. I get<br />
around much better now<br />
without all that pain.<br />
Just to in<strong>for</strong>m you, I also<br />
have arthritis in my left arm<br />
and hand, as I crochet a lot.<br />
I'm using the castor oil on<br />
my arm also, and it is doing<br />
wonders <strong>for</strong> me. I had to<br />
share this with you, as it may<br />
help others, too. Just never<br />
give up, as sometimes it<br />
takes awhile to do any good.<br />
I found that out. I have a<br />
large bottle of it and will<br />
never give up using it as long<br />
as I see any progress. Please<br />
share this with your readers.<br />
DEAR READER: Thanks<br />
<strong>for</strong> writing. I continue to<br />
receive readers' testimonials<br />
about the castor-oil cure and,<br />
indeed, it seems to have<br />
merit.<br />

Letters from our readers<br />
A marked difference<br />
To the Editor:<br />
Just a comment on the Redwood<br />
Academy. I don’t know the politics on the<br />
petition refusal in the June 22 article in the<br />
<strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong>, however I do know that no<br />
one likes to support their own competition<br />
especially when the competition is doing a<br />
better job than you are.<br />
I went to the Redwood Academy’s graduation<br />
and saw a bond between school<br />
teachers and students, a realization that<br />
each had excelled in what they were there<br />
<strong>for</strong>. <strong>The</strong> young adults knew where they had<br />
been and more important what they were<br />
going to do and where they were going to<br />
go. Both students and teachers experienced<br />
a deep bond. That’s teaching!<br />
I also went to the <strong>Ukiah</strong> High School<br />
ceremony where I experienced a 180. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
accomplished none of the things they wanted<br />
to. <strong>The</strong> main plus <strong>for</strong> the year was<br />
Disney Land and Lake Mendocino. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
weren’t the voices of young adults prepared<br />
to go <strong>for</strong>th, but of children caught in their<br />
playpen.<br />
If the people would have seen both as I<br />
did, they would not have clapped their<br />
hands, they would have booed! Why would<br />
anyone want to send their kids to a school<br />
that by the speakers words “Didn’t accomplish<br />
any thing we started except<br />
Disneyland and Lake Mendocino?”<br />

Court view<br />
To the Editor:<br />
If it has been a while since you visited<br />
the Mendocino County Court House, you<br />
will notice some changes.<br />
Finding a parking space has not changed<br />
and requires guessing how long your court<br />
visit will take. That can be a real challenge<br />
since the time frames are related to the<br />
schedules of the many people involved in<br />
court business not your own plans.<br />
If one and a half hours will suffice, you<br />
can park on the streets around the court<br />
house. For more time than that, you will<br />
need to walk a bit farther. Keep in mind<br />
that you can no longer enter this centrally<br />
located building from School Street or<br />
Standley Street. <strong>The</strong> entrances are only<br />
from State Street and Perkins Street. <strong>The</strong><br />
State Street entrance is an opportunity <strong>for</strong> a<br />
cardio experience, walking up the 25 steps<br />
may save you a work out on the stepmaster.<br />
<strong>The</strong> entrance on Perkins Street is the<br />
Court’s answer to the requirement <strong>for</strong> a<br />
handicapped accessible entrance.<br />
Having parked on Perkins Street I used<br />
this entrance. You will find that Mendocino<br />
County has entered the world that is trying<br />
to be “safe” in a world that is seen as being<br />
unsafe. We now have to go through metal<br />
detectors and have an xray search of anything<br />
that you are carrying. It is much like<br />
the airports experience.<br />
If you have a short nail file that is usually<br />
in your purse, leave it at home.<br />
Otherwise it will join mine. I had to<br />
remove my short nail file from my purse<br />
and place it on the little white tray. I do not<br />
remember when I last used that nail file, it<br />
just gets moved from purse to purse in case<br />
it is ever needed. It always seemed like a<br />
good idea to be prepared. I think I will miss<br />
it, but not replace it, since I plan to go to<br />
the court house again. When you leave the<br />
building you will find that it has vanished<br />
from site, never to be seen by you again.<br />
Leaving my nail file behind, it was up<br />
the stairs to the first floor. One might think<br />
that you enter on the first floor and when<br />
you go up a flight of steps you are then on<br />
the second floor. You would be wrong. At<br />
the court house what might seem to be the<br />
first floor from the Perkins Street entrance<br />
is called the ground floor. <strong>The</strong> next floor,<br />
where you enter the court house from State<br />
Street, is the first floor. I guess that is what<br />
happens when several decades later a three<br />

editor. All letters must include a clear name,<br />
signature, return address and phone number.<br />
Letters are generally published in the order<br />
they are received, but shorter, concise letters<br />
are given preference. Because of the volume<br />
of letters coming in, letters of more than 400<br />
words in length may take longer to be printed.<br />
Names will not be withheld <strong>for</strong> any reason.<br />

to a local organization or are an elected official<br />
writing about the organization or body<br />
on which you serve, that will be included in<br />
your signature. If you want to make it clear<br />
you are not speaking <strong>for</strong> that organization,<br />
you should do so in your letter.All letters<br />
are subject to editing without notice. Editing<br />
is generally limited to removing statements<br />
that are potentially libelous or are not suitable<br />

<strong>The</strong> 4th by the numbers<br />
As you wave the Stars and Stripes today<br />
on this 230th anniversary of the signing of<br />
the Declaration of Independence, here’s<br />
some food <strong>for</strong> thought:<br />
• In 1776 there were 2.5 million people<br />
living in the colonies. Today we are fast<br />
approaching the 300 million mark (expected<br />
some time in October, according to the<br />
Census Bureau).<br />
• $5.5 million is the 2005 dollar value of<br />
U.S. imports of American flags; the vast<br />
majority of this amount ($5 million) was <strong>for</strong><br />
U.S. flags made in China.<br />
• $993,000 is the dollar value of U.S.<br />
flags exported in 2005. Mexico was the<br />
leading customer, purchasing $529,000<br />
worth.<br />
• $349 million is the annual dollar value<br />
of shipments of fabricated flags, banners and<br />
similar emblems by the nation’s manufacturers.<br />
• 34 million is the 2004 number of <strong>for</strong>eign-born<br />
residents in the United States;<br />
they accounted <strong>for</strong> 12 percent of the nation’s<br />
total population. Another 30 million<br />
Americans were “second-generation,”<br />
meaning that at least one of their parents was<br />
born abroad. As of 2004, 53 percent of the<br />
nation’s <strong>for</strong>eign-born population was born in<br />
Latin America.<br />
• 946,000 is the number of immigrants<br />
granted legal permanent residence in the<br />
United States during fiscal year 2004. More<br />
than 1-in-4 settled in Cali<strong>for</strong>nia.<br />
• 537,000 is the number of people who<br />
became naturalized U.S. citizens during fiscal<br />
2004 (Oct. 1, 2003 to Sept. 30, 2004).<br />
Mexico contributed the highest number of<br />
naturalized citizens in 2004 (63,800), followed<br />
by India (38,000), the Philippines<br />
(31,400), Vietnam (27,500) and China<br />
story addition is added to the <strong>for</strong>mer twostory<br />
court house.<br />
In the first floor lobby there is a menu<br />
board telling who is located in the building<br />
and where they are located. It is most helpful<br />
<strong>for</strong> new and infrequent visitors. Down<br />
the hall, next to the pay phone, is a list of<br />
the cases that are to be heard and in what<br />
court room.<br />
I decided to observe in Courtroom H. It<br />
had the longest list of citizens appearing<br />
that morning. You can take an elevator up<br />
to court room H which is listed as being on<br />
the fifth floor. Looking at the Court House<br />
from State Street it looks to me as if there<br />
are 3 floors. However the elevator buttons<br />

• 150 million is the number of hot dogs<br />
(all varieties) expected to be consumed by<br />
Americans on this holiday. That’s one frankfurter<br />
<strong>for</strong> every two people.<br />
• 7.3 billion pounds is the total production<br />
of cattle and calves in Texas in 2005.<br />
Chances are good that the beef hot dogs,<br />
steaks and burgers on your backyard grill<br />
came from the Lone Star State, which<br />
accounted <strong>for</strong> over one-sixth of the nation’s<br />
total production. And if they did not come<br />
from Texas, they very well may have come<br />
from Nebraska (4.5 billion pounds) or<br />
Kansas (4 billion pounds).<br />
• 6 is the number of states in which the<br />
revenue from broiler chickens was $1 billion<br />
or greater between December 2004 and<br />
November 2005. <strong>The</strong>re is a good chance that<br />
one of these states — Georgia, Arkansas,<br />
Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi or<br />
Texas — is the source of your barbecued<br />
chicken.<br />
• More than 68 million is the number of<br />
Americans who said they have taken part in<br />
a barbecue during the previous year. It’s<br />
probably safe to assume a lot of these events<br />
took place on Independence Day.<br />
• $201.9 million is the value of fireworks<br />
imported from China in 2005, representing<br />
the bulk of all U.S. fireworks imported<br />
($211 million). U.S. exports of fireworks, by<br />
comparison, came to just $14.9 million in<br />
2005, with Australia purchasing more than<br />
any other country ($4.4 million).<br />
• $17.3 million is the value of U.S. manufacturers’<br />
shipments of fireworks in 2002.<br />

It was an interesting morning, seeing<br />
how many different people and departments<br />
are needed <strong>for</strong> ”the protection of the<br />

Observing the court process gives a brief<br />
insight into who does what to keep the citizens<br />
safe. Knowing how our system works<br />
helps us to be in<strong>for</strong>med citizens. Give it a<br />

VIEWPOINTS<br />
Lawmakers<br />
still in the dark<br />
THOMAS D. ELIAS<br />
News reports in the late 1990s were full of stories<br />
about late-year conferences state legislators attended<br />
each year at an expensive resort on the Hawaiian<br />
island of Maui - meetings staged by the state prison<br />
guards union.<br />
<strong>The</strong> meetings, with some "sessions" apparently held<br />
in the surf, drew fire from editorialists and were part of<br />
the climate of seeming corruption that eventually produced<br />
the recall election of 2003 as a backlash.<br />
One year, 42 lawmakers attended, most saying they<br />
were paying their expenses out of campaign funds,<br />
some of which had been contributed by the prison<br />
guards. <strong>The</strong> next year, three of the four top legislative<br />
leaders attended, with two saying they'd gone only to<br />
"hear what these people have to say."<br />
Public disgust led to an end of these sessions after<br />
the 1999 version.<br />
But a similar meeting conducted late this spring<br />
with primary election campaigns in full swing now<br />
raises the suspicion that legislators still don't understand<br />
the concept of conflict of interest.<br />
Let's spell it out <strong>for</strong> them here: If you take money<br />
from a corporation, individual or organization and then<br />
vote <strong>for</strong> something that would put far more money into<br />
the contributor's pocket, that's at least the appearance<br />
of a conflict. Generally, it's impossible to prove when<br />
a vote has been flat-out bought. But it can be very easy<br />
to see public policy following after campaign contributions.<br />
If you are the insurance commissioner, <strong>for</strong> instance,<br />
you had better not take money from insurance companies<br />
or their agents and then give them large rate<br />
increases. If you are the governor, it may not be wise<br />
to take money from car dealers and then soften or suspend<br />
state lemon laws. Similarly, it's not cool to take a<br />
sizeable donation from a software company and then<br />
hand it a no-bid contract to serve state computers.<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia has seen all these things in the last few<br />
years. Ousted Insurance Commissioner Chuck<br />
Quackenbush followed the precise agenda of the companies<br />
that funded his campaigns. Car dealers are<br />
among the biggest contributors to current Gov. Arnold<br />
Schwarzenegger, who has softened lemon laws and<br />
other consumer protections. He or his appointees have<br />
done the same kinds of things <strong>for</strong> telephone and natural<br />
gas companies on his big-buck donor list. Ex-Gov.<br />
Gray Davis often seemed to do the bidding of labor<br />
unions and companies that funded him.<br />
Now comes Democratic Assembly Speaker Fabian<br />
Nunez of East Los Angeles, carrying a bill that would<br />
radically change the rules of cable television to benefit<br />
AT&T and other big phone companies. Rather than<br />
compel cable providers to seek franchises from cities<br />
and counties and work out contracts with them, Nunez<br />
would give AT&T, Verizon and other phone giants the<br />
right to sell video along with their current telephone<br />
and Internet offerings.<br />
It may be that this change would save consumers $1<br />
billion or more, as a UC Berkeley study paid <strong>for</strong> by<br />
AT&T concluded. (A separate report on drug trials last<br />
year found that studies paid <strong>for</strong> by pharmaceutical<br />
companies were five times more likely to produce<br />
favorable results <strong>for</strong> the drug than trials paid <strong>for</strong> by<br />
others. Could the same bought-conclusions phenomenon<br />
have been at work in the Berkeley cable TV<br />
study?)<br />
Whether the study is accurate or not, Nunez provided<br />
cynics with plenty of ammunition during the primary<br />
season when he allowed AT&T to honor him at a<br />
Pebble Beach fundraiser <strong>for</strong> the state Democratic<br />
Party. <strong>The</strong> event reportedly raised several million dollars<br />
<strong>for</strong> the party, which can use it to back candidates<br />
whose own fundraising is severely limited by the 2000<br />
Proposition 34.<br />
Dozens of corporations, unions and casino Indian<br />
tribes also <strong>for</strong>ked over to hobnob with the speaker and<br />
other lawmakers at the Speaker's Cup gathering.<br />
Nunez, of course, insisted that he would have sponsored<br />
the cable bill, which figures to benefit AT&T<br />
more than any other company, even if it had not sponsored<br />
the Monterey County event.<br />
As with the contributions to Quackenbush,<br />
Schwarzenegger and Davis, no one can prove a direct<br />
quid pro quo arrangement between Nunez and AT&T.<br />
But the appearance is certainly there.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact this raises eyebrows at all shows that a lot<br />
has changed over the last 40 years. "Money is the<br />
mother's milk of politics," is the aphorism <strong>for</strong> which<br />
that era's Assembly Speaker Jesse Unruh is best<br />
remembered. But Unruh also liked to say that "If you<br />
can't eat their (donors') food, drink their booze, (see)<br />
their women and still vote against them the next day,<br />
you don't belong here."<br />
Maybe politicians then were strong enough to live<br />
up to that dictum. But few would trust today's versions<br />
so far. That's why it's imperative they at last begin to<br />
understand what makes something a conflict of interest<br />
and how it creates the perception of corruption.<br />

Third annual<br />
‘Legends’ Run<br />
coming<br />
On Friday, July 28 and<br />
Saturday, July 29, <strong>Ukiah</strong><br />
commemorates and celebrates<br />
two Native American foot<br />
races. <strong>The</strong> ultra-marathons<br />
were run from San Francisco<br />
to Grants Pass, Oregon, in<br />
1927 and 1928. <strong>The</strong> Grace<br />
Hudson Museum holds a<br />
reception on Friday afternoon,<br />
July 28, and hosts a<br />
run/walk on Saturday morning<br />
the 29th. <strong>The</strong> run/walk<br />
finish line is in the Sun<br />
House Park adjacent to the<br />
Museum.<br />
<strong>The</strong> July 28th Reception<br />
will include presentations<br />
about the Redwoods<br />
Marathon. Activities on July<br />
29th begin at 8:30am with the<br />
North Coast Striders’ 6-mile<br />
run and 3-mile walk/run, on a<br />
course that follows level<br />
paved roads. <strong>The</strong> awards ceremony<br />
<strong>for</strong> the run will be at<br />
10:15am.<br />
U.S. Highway 101 and<br />
U.S. Highway 199 connected<br />
San Francisco to Grants Pass,<br />
Oregon, in the 1920s. Eager<br />
to promote travel and tourism<br />
along this route, <strong>The</strong><br />
Redwood Empire Association<br />
in San Francisco and <strong>The</strong><br />
Caveman Association of<br />
Grants Pass promoted the<br />
“Redwood Highway” by<br />
staging a marathon from San<br />
Francisco to Grants Pass, 480<br />
miles, the “longest race of its<br />
kind in history.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> first Redwoods<br />
Marathon was held in 1927,<br />
the second (and last) in 1928.<br />
Given the length and difficulty<br />
of the event the participants<br />
were all Native<br />
Americans, a people that historically<br />
had integrated running<br />
into their culture. <strong>The</strong><br />
1927 event was won by a 23year-old<br />
Karuk named Mad<br />
Bull with a winning time of 7<br />
days, 12 hours and 34 minutes.<br />
In the 1928 event the<br />
second place finisher was a<br />
62 year old Zuni who had run<br />
from northern New Mexico to<br />
San Francisco just to enter<br />
the race.<br />
Proceeds from the Grace<br />
Hudson Museum’s Legends<br />
celebration and reception will<br />
be used to help establish the<br />
museum’s new native plant<br />
garden. <strong>The</strong> garden will feature<br />
plants utilized in daily<br />
life by Native Americans and<br />
will be part of the museum’s<br />
regular tour.<br />

Sorenstam back on top, with<br />
convincing playoff victory<br />
By DOUG FERGUSON<br />
<strong>The</strong> Associated Press<br />
NEWPORT, R.I. — Annika<br />
Sorenstam seized control from the<br />
start Monday, eager to prove her point.<br />
She won the U.S. Women’s Open after<br />
10 years of frustration, and delivered a<br />
defiant answer about her place in the<br />
game and her so-called slump.<br />

Annika Sorenstam holds the<br />
2006 U.S. Women’s Open trophy<br />
Monday, her first in 10 tries.<br />
leaving Pat Hurst behind on the fairways<br />
and on the scorecard, Sorenstam<br />
turned the 18-hole playoff into a<br />
snoozer at Newport Country Club with<br />
a 1-under 70 <strong>for</strong> a four-shot victory.<br />
It was the largest margin of victory<br />
in a playoff at the major since Kathy<br />
Cornelius won by seven shots 50 years<br />
ago.<br />
Sorenstam led by five shots at the<br />
turn, but she didn’t celebrate until tapping<br />
in <strong>for</strong> par on the final hole, placing<br />
the putter behind her neck and<br />
raising her head in utter relief.<br />

BERLIN — Three weeks of sparkling soccer has<br />
done what six decades of soul-searching could not:<br />
It’s made Germans proud to be German again, and<br />
prouder still of national team captain Michael<br />
Ballack, the communist sports prodigy who left the<br />
East to become a capitalist star in the West.<br />
Trace the arc of Ballack’s career and it reads like<br />
a founding legend that modern Germany would<br />
write <strong>for</strong> itself.<br />
Born in 1976 in the eastern half of a still-divided<br />
nation, his parents sent their 7-year-old son to play<br />
<strong>for</strong> the local club in Chemnitz, a city known as Karl-<br />
Marx-Stadt at the time. Even then, the deftness of<br />
Ballack’s touch and his skill with both feet marked<br />
him as something special.<br />
By his third season, Ballack was delivering goals<br />
JOE D. BASEBALL | MENDO 3, VACAVILLE 2<br />
“It’s fantastic,” she said. “It’s been<br />
a long wait. On the way, I learned a<br />
lot. <strong>The</strong> way the season has gone, to<br />
win the Open is pretty ironic.”<br />
Sorenstam won her 10th major<br />
championship, tied with Babe<br />
Zaharias <strong>for</strong> fourth all-time and only<br />
five majors behind Patty Berg in<br />
LPGA Tour history. She has won a<br />
major in each of the last six years, the<br />
second-longest streak in LPGA history.<br />

Scaturro comes through <strong>for</strong> Mendo<br />
All-Empire standout pitches<br />
complete game and hits sixth<br />
inning double <strong>for</strong> go-ahead run<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong><br />
YOUNTVILLE – <strong>Ukiah</strong> High School<br />
All-Empire standout Tyler Scaturro<br />
pitched the Mendo Joe Dimaggio League<br />
team to a 3-2 victory and came through<br />
with the game-winning RBI as Mendo<br />
closed out its play at the Keith Connelly<br />
Fourth of July Invitational with a 3-2 win<br />
over Vacaville Monday.<br />
Mendo finished 2-1, second in Pool 2<br />
play to San Bruno. By virtue of a 9-6,<br />
opening day to San Bruno, Mendo did<br />
not advance to the medal round.<br />
“It’s un<strong>for</strong>tunate, but head-to-head<br />
matchups are the initial tie-breaker,” said<br />
Mendo head coach Mario Scaturro. “That<br />
was a tough loss.”<br />
Even with the loss, Mendo improved<br />
to 17-3 as it gears up <strong>for</strong> the postseason.<br />
Mario Scaturro also said that Mendo will<br />
have Jason Chapman back <strong>for</strong> its end of<br />
season run.<br />
“We’ll get Jason back this Friday, and<br />
I’m trying to schedule a couple of scrimmages<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e the postseason,” Scaturro<br />
said. “We’re going to get some batting<br />
practice in this week and we’ll be ready<br />
to go. It’ll be nice to have Jason back <strong>for</strong><br />
our last leg.”<br />
After Vacaville jumped out to a 1-0<br />
first inning lead Monday, Mendo<br />
answered back in the third inning as<br />
Avery Cooper scored on a wild pitch to<br />
tie the score.<br />
Vacaville got back in front again in the<br />
fourth inning, 2-1, but after a Mark<br />
Pedersen single scored Cooper to tie the<br />
score at 2-2, Tyler Scaturro delivered<br />
with a double that scored Aaron Bauman<br />
<strong>for</strong> a 3-2 lead.<br />
Scaturro gave up five hits in the victory<br />
and struck out five, and got some key<br />
defensive help from left-handed second<br />
base fill-in Devin Jackson and shortstop<br />
Joaquin Lopez, who came through with a<br />
clutch double play in the sixth inning<br />
with Vacaville runners in scoring position.<br />
“We were kind of a motley crew out<br />
there today, and I think when Vacaville<br />
looked at us I saw it in their eyes they<br />
were going to pounce,” Mario Scaturro<br />
said. “We were kind of tired, and dirty,<br />
but we were ready to play. When we got<br />
on the field, we were sharp.”<br />
Mendo heads into its postseason starting<br />
July 14-16 at the Joe Dimaggio<br />
League Regionals in Yountville.<br />
By virtue of its regular season record,<br />
Mendo will not have to play in the North<br />
Bay playoffs July 11-12.<br />
<strong>for</strong> the town’s youth team with the precocity of a<br />
young Wayne Gretzky — 57 in only 16 games —<br />
and so began his climb up the ladder of the statecontrolled<br />
sports system.<br />
It might have plateaued right there, leaving<br />
Ballack, like hundreds of topflight East German athletes,<br />
with little more to show <strong>for</strong> it than a decent<br />
apartment and a car. But then the wall came down in<br />
1989, and suddenly he was staring at a wide world<br />
of possibilities.<br />
In the years that followed, Ballack rounded out<br />
his game and became a fixture at bigger and wealthier<br />
German club teams in the Bundesliga and, finally,<br />
the field general <strong>for</strong> fabled Bayern Munich.<br />
Now, two months shy of his 30th birthday and<br />
acclaimed as one of the finest midfielders in the<br />

TOUR DE FRANCE<br />
Hushovd regains yellow jersey<br />
By JAMEY KEATEN<br />
<strong>The</strong> Associated Press<br />
ESCH-SUR-ALZETTE,<br />
Luxembourg — Norway’s<br />
Thor Hushovd reclaimed the<br />
overall Tour de France lead<br />
from George Hincapie on<br />
Monday during a sweltering<br />
ride in which Australia’s<br />
Robbie McEwen captured the<br />
second stage in a sprint finish.<br />
Hincapie, the fourth<br />
American to wear the leader’s<br />
yellow jersey in the 103-year<br />
history of the Tour, dropped to<br />
fourth overall. Belgium’s Tom<br />
Boonen is second and<br />
McEwen third.<br />
McEwen, a sprinter from<br />
the Davitamon-Lotto team,<br />
was followed by Boonen in<br />
the 137-mile stage. Hushovd<br />
was third after his left shoe<br />
popped out of its pedal in the<br />
final stretch.<br />
This was the ninth stage<br />
victory in nine Tours <strong>for</strong><br />
McEwen. He is trying to win<br />
the green jersey as the three-<br />

Continued from Page 6<br />
<strong>The</strong> deal will pay Grier<br />
$1,775,000 a year, a boost<br />
over the $1.36 million he<br />
made with Buffalo last season<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e becoming an unrestricted<br />
free agent Saturday<br />
<strong>for</strong> the first time in his career.<br />
A message left with the<br />
Sharks was not immediately<br />
returned.<br />
A 10-year NHL veteran,<br />
Grier was a valuable defensive<br />
specialist and behind-thescenes<br />
leader in helping a<br />
young Sabres team win a fran-<br />
Open<br />
Continued from Page 6<br />
But this wasn’t just another<br />
major.<br />
<strong>The</strong> U.S. Women’s Open is<br />
by far the biggest event on the<br />
LPGA Tour, and Sorenstam<br />
figured she would pile up several<br />
titles after winning in<br />
1995 and 1996, so dominant<br />
in her second victory that she<br />
missed only five fairways all<br />
week at Pine Needles and won<br />
by six.<br />
But it has been nothing but<br />
frustration since then.<br />
Juli Inkster overcame a<br />
two-shot deficit to beat her in<br />
2002 at Prairie Dunes. Meg<br />
Mallon outplayed her at <strong>The</strong><br />
Orchards two years later.<br />
Sorenstam sometimes beat<br />
herself, making bogey on the<br />
par-5 18th at Pumpkin Ridge<br />
to miss a playoff by one shot<br />
in 2003.<br />
Sorenstam had won 63<br />
times and seven majors since<br />
her last Open victory, establishing<br />
herself as the best in<br />
the game, missing only another<br />
U.S. Open title <strong>for</strong> validation.<br />
And when her 30-foot<br />
birdie putt on the 18th hole<br />
Sunday evening rippled over<br />
the right edge of the cup, she<br />
might have wondered whether<br />
she was being teased again.<br />
Hurst holed a 5-foot par<br />
putt to <strong>for</strong>ce the 10th playoff<br />
in the 61-year history of this<br />
championship. Both finished<br />
at even-par 284, a testament to<br />
the demanding conditions at<br />
Newport.<br />
But it was a different story<br />
Monday.<br />
Both players had a sand<br />
wedge into the par-5 first hole,<br />
and Hurst showed some tattered<br />
nerves by hitting it<br />
heavy. <strong>The</strong> ball landed by the<br />
cup, then spun down a ridge<br />

week race’s best sprinter, a<br />
title he captured in 2002 and<br />
2004.<br />
<strong>The</strong> route from Obernai in<br />
eastern France was the second-longest<br />
stage in this<br />
year’s race. Riders had to<br />
withstand intense sunshine,<br />
with road temperatures climbing<br />
to nearly 122 degrees.<br />
“It makes a long hard day.<br />
You have to drink a lot,”<br />
McEwen said.<br />
Hushovd rebounded from<br />
an accident Sunday in which<br />
his right arm was sliced open<br />
by a large cardboard hand that<br />
a fan was holding over the<br />
safety barriers. He needed<br />
stitches and said Monday it<br />
was hard to move his arm.<br />
But in the final sprint “you<br />
<strong>for</strong>get the pain,” he said. “I’ve<br />
got the yellow jersey. I can’t<br />
complain.”<br />
Race officials began<br />
restricting giveaways near the<br />
finish line of the large green<br />
hands, which are given to<br />
spectators as a promotion.<br />
chise-record 52 regular-season<br />
games and clinch the<br />
team’s first playoff berth since<br />
2001.<br />
He finished with 23 points<br />
(seven goals, 16 assists) in 81<br />
games last season — his lowest<br />
point total since registering<br />
15 in 1997-98 with<br />
Edmonton. But he scored a<br />
career-high four game-winning<br />
goals while usually playing<br />
against an opposing<br />
team’s top line.<br />
Grier added three goals and<br />
five assists in 18 playoff<br />
games.<br />
His addition bolsters the<br />
Sharks’ depth at <strong>for</strong>ward after<br />
the team lost two players in<br />
and off the green. Sorenstam<br />
fired through the ball, and it<br />
spun off the back of the green<br />
to 6 feet away. Hurst left her<br />
birdie putt 10 feet short, and<br />
her par putt didn’t even reach<br />
the hole.<br />
Sorenstam poured her putt<br />
into the middle of the cup,<br />
quickly building a two-shot<br />
lead.<br />
On the next hole, Hurst hit<br />
another wedge that stopped 4<br />
feet below the hole, and it<br />
looked as though she might<br />
get both strokes back when<br />
Sorenstam hit her approach 40<br />
feet above the hole, trickling it<br />
down to 4 feet. Hurst pulled<br />
her birdie putt, Sorenstam<br />
made her par, and the rout was<br />
on. “I didn’t make any putts.<br />
That was what probably kept<br />
me back,” Hurst said. “If I<br />
could have made some putts,<br />
it would have been closer, I<br />
could have put pressure on<br />
her.”<br />
Sorenstam added an 8-foot<br />
birdie putt on the third hole to<br />
lead by three, and Hurst was<br />
at her worst at No. 6. Hurst<br />
drove into the face of a<br />
bunker, laid up in the left<br />
rough and hit wedge to about<br />

Hushovd, the green jersey<br />

the Sabres have lost to free<br />

Buffalo acquired Grier in<br />
March 2004 in a deal with<br />

Edmonton, where he enjoyed<br />
his best season, scoring 20<br />
goals and 24 assists in 1998-<br />

In 693 career games, Grier<br />
has 112 goals and 155 assists<br />

Sorenstam went from the<br />
rough to a muddy bunker 40<br />
yards from the hole, chunked<br />
her shot and had 65 feet <strong>for</strong><br />
par. <strong>The</strong>y both lagged nicely,<br />
but Hurst jabbed her 3-foot<br />
putt and it lipped out, giving<br />
her a double bogey.<br />
That put her four shots<br />
behind through seven holes,<br />
and Hurst dropped another<br />
shot on the ninth by missing a<br />
6-foot par putt. She went out<br />
in 4-over 39, trailing<br />
Sorenstam by five shots.<br />
It was such a blowout that<br />
Hurst did not have honors on<br />
the tee until No. 14, following<br />
Sorenstam’s bogey on the par-<br />
3 13th. Sorenstam was at her<br />
best, piping it down the middle<br />
of the fairway and staying<br />
away from trouble. She<br />
missed only four greens in the<br />
playoff, putting enormous<br />
pressure on her opponent.<br />
Hurst had made 16 birdies<br />
through four rounds of regulation,<br />
by far the most at<br />
Newport, but only made one<br />
in the playoff. Sorenstam won<br />
<strong>for</strong> the 68th time in her career,<br />

Oilers trade <strong>for</strong>mer<br />
NHL MVP Pronger<br />
<strong>The</strong> Associated Press<br />
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Star defenseman Chris Pronger was<br />
traded by the Edmonton Oilers to the Anaheim Ducks on<br />
Monday <strong>for</strong> right wing Joffrey Lupul, defenseman Ladislav<br />
Smid and three future draft picks.<br />
Pronger, the 2000 NHL MVP with St. Louis, led the Oilers<br />
to the Stanley Cup finals last month. <strong>The</strong>y fell just short of a<br />
championship, losing Game 7 to the Carolina Hurricanes.<br />
After Edmonton’s surprising run was over, Pronger asked the<br />
team <strong>for</strong> a trade — citing personal reasons.<br />
Anaheim jumped at the opportunity, sending its first-round<br />
pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, a 2008 second-round pick<br />
and a conditional draft pick to the Oilers along with Lupul and<br />
Smid.<br />
“We believe having Chris Pronger join Scott Niedermayer<br />
on our blue line gives us two of the top defensemen in the NHL<br />
today,” Ducks general manager Brian Burke said in a statement.<br />
“Players of this caliber don’t become available very<br />
often, especially when they are still in the prime of their<br />
career.”<br />
Anaheim lost to eighth-seeded Edmonton in the Western<br />
Conference finals, in five games.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 31-year-old Pronger had 16 assists in the playoffs and<br />
scored five goals. During the 2005-06 regular season, he scored<br />
12 goals and had 44 assists in 80 games.<br />

game, Ballack is about to<br />
leave Germany <strong>for</strong> England’s<br />
Premier League. But first he is<br />
being asked to recreate the<br />
success of that personal journey<br />
while carrying the hopes<br />
of a nation on his broad shoulders.<br />
“His role is hugely important<br />
<strong>for</strong> us,” coach Juergen<br />
Klinsmann said on the eve of<br />
Germany’s semifinal Tuesday<br />
against Portugal. “He leads<br />
the way.”<br />
That comes as little surprise.<br />
How Ballack won that<br />
role, though, is a different<br />
story.<br />
Even today, German soccer<br />
remains so regimented that the<br />
only nickname ever applied to<br />
the national team is still “Der<br />
Mannschaft,” which translates<br />
as “<strong>The</strong> Team.” Each player<br />
has specific responsibilities to<br />

greater than the sum of the<br />
parts. Yet Ballack has been<br />
given license to roam the<br />
entire pitch, to launch attacks<br />
or blunt them he sees fit, to<br />
take risks none of his teammates<br />
would dare consider.<br />
That freedom is part reward<br />
<strong>for</strong> his sublime skills and part<br />
recognition by Klinsmann, a<br />
free spirit and <strong>for</strong>mer national<br />
team star himself, that it represents<br />
Germany’s best<br />
chance to win it all. But in a<br />
larger sense, Ballack’s leadership<br />
role, with its emphasis on<br />
individual creativity, has<br />
become a test case on how a<br />
unified Germany might proceed.<br />
When Klinsmann agreed to<br />
take over the team, he came<br />
under criticism <strong>for</strong> a few<br />
things: living most of the year<br />
in sunny, laid-back Cali<strong>for</strong>nia<br />
and scrapping Germany’s traditionally<br />
dull, overwhelmingly<br />
defensive 3-5-2 <strong>for</strong>mation<br />
in favor of an aggressive,<br />

three weeks of games and one<br />
nervy win after another, with<br />
Ballack pulling most of the<br />

red and gold flags flutter in<br />

“It’s nice to see that we<br />
have a common dream,”<br />
Klinsmann said the other day.<br />
“I’m familiar with this from<br />
the United States. On<br />
Independence Day, July 4th,<br />
everyone displays flags.”<br />
But it’s come with some<br />
personal cost, too. Ballack<br />
will be transferring to Chelsea<br />
<strong>for</strong> the upcoming season, and<br />
while the negotiations were<br />
going on, he was ripped <strong>for</strong><br />
being selfish and lazy, two of<br />
the worst traits to a German.<br />
And his rise to stardom,<br />
along with the implications it<br />
carries <strong>for</strong> the still-struggling<br />
East, has been analyzed so<br />
often and layered with so<br />
much meaning that he won’t<br />
talk about it anymore. But<br />
something he said recently<br />
could be the template <strong>for</strong> a<br />
nation trying to decide how to<br />
put its best foot <strong>for</strong>ward.<br />
“If I had wanted to be a<br />
local hero,” Ballack said, “I<br />
would have had to stay in<br />

beyond your reach last year<br />
— may turn around and<br />
become well within range.<br />
You’ll have the potential to<br />
succeed in a big way, so go<br />
<strong>for</strong> it.<br />
ASTROGRAPH<br />
By Bernice Bede Osol<br />
CANCER (June 21-July<br />
22) — Do not be overly<br />
resistant to social changes<br />
that take place, even if they<br />
don’t please you one bit. As<br />
long as you don’t make a<br />
big deal of them, everything<br />
will work out to your<br />
liking.<br />
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)<br />
— Although one of your<br />
co-workers may attempt to<br />
lead you to believe otherwise,<br />
know that persons<br />
who have authority over<br />
you at work hold you in<br />
high esteem.<br />
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.<br />
22) — No matter how much<br />
you can make a case <strong>for</strong><br />
criticizing others, if you are<br />
non-judgmental of them,<br />
you will outpoll all others<br />
in a popularity contest. Try<br />
it and see.<br />
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.<br />
23) — <strong>The</strong> choice is yours<br />
as to whether your deeds or<br />
actions either promote<br />
favorable conditions or<br />
cause discussion. Keep<br />
self-serving needs at bay<br />
and be nice to all.<br />
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-<br />
Nov. 22) — You may have<br />
ample reasons to view life<br />
negatively, but it’ll do nothing<br />
to promote happy times<br />

watch life turn around <strong>for</strong><br />
you in favorable ways.<br />
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.<br />
23-Dec. 21) — If you center<br />
your attention and<br />
ef<strong>for</strong>ts on ways to make<br />
money <strong>for</strong> yourself, as well<br />
as <strong>for</strong> others, you should do<br />
rather well. Be self-seeking,<br />
and the opposite is likely.<br />
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-<br />
Jan. 19) — <strong>The</strong> most<br />
important thing to keep<br />
<strong>for</strong>emost in your mind is to<br />

manage anything in<br />
which you become<br />
involved, and you’ll realize<br />
good results.<br />
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-<br />
Feb. 19) — This is one of<br />
those days where it is likely<br />
to be darkest be<strong>for</strong>e the<br />

lose faith in yourself and<br />
your abilities, all will work<br />
out splendidly in the end.<br />
PISCES (Feb. 20-March<br />
20) - Something that didn’t<br />
hold much promise has an<br />
excellent chance of being<br />
fulfilled — all because you<br />
never totally gave up on it.<br />
ARIES (March 21-April<br />
19) — Conditions, as well<br />
as people, are likely to provide<br />
a mix of both good and<br />
bad situations concerning<br />
your affairs. However, concentrate<br />
on the positive and<br />
you’ll negate the negative.<br />

Dear Readers: Happy Fourth of July!<br />
Please celebrate safely. Here’s our snippet <strong>for</strong><br />
the day, credit Albert Einstein: “Everything<br />
that is really great and inspiring is created by<br />
the individual who can labor in freedom.”<br />
Dear Annie: I am a 66-year-old retired<br />
grandmother of three boys, ages 11, 15 and 20.<br />
<strong>The</strong> oldest is in the service and not living at<br />
home. Due to financial difficulties, I live with<br />
my daughter-in-law, “Kim,” and my two<br />
grandsons. Kim has been separated from my<br />
son <strong>for</strong> nearly five years, although it has not<br />
been legalized.<br />
<strong>The</strong> problem is my son. With Kim’s consent,<br />
we invite him to every holiday dinner and<br />
birthday celebration. He has declined all the<br />
invitations. His excuse is that he doesn’t want<br />
the boys to get the mistaken impression that<br />
their parents might get back together if they<br />
share a family event.<br />
Of course, my son has no qualms whatsoever<br />
when it comes to parading his girlfriends in<br />
front of Kim, his boys or me, or bringing my<br />
grandsons to his apartment <strong>for</strong> the weekend<br />
where they witness sleepovers with the various<br />
women he happens to be dating.<br />
I would think any false impressions the boys<br />
might have had were erased years ago. My son<br />
says it makes him uncom<strong>for</strong>table when we<br />
invite him to these functions. Annie, I am<br />
angry and frustrated at his behavior. What can<br />
I do to make him understand? -- Bothered<br />
Mom Dear Mom: It is good <strong>for</strong> the kids to see that<br />
Mom and Dad can get along and be civil to<br />
each other, in spite of their differences. Your<br />
son seems to prefer avoiding issues that threaten<br />
his com<strong>for</strong>t level -- this includes the undefined<br />
status of his marriage as well as joint<br />

diagonals each ADD to numbers inside<br />
thick lined cells.<br />
B. Some correct numbers with their letters<br />

herself and her children.<br />
Dear Annie: My mom and I go to church<br />
every Sunday. Last week, as I was getting out<br />
of the van, I grabbed a bottle of water to take<br />
inside with me. My mom refused to let me<br />
bring the water in, saying it’s not right to eat or<br />
drink in church.<br />
I know the service is only 45 minutes, and I<br />
agree that it’s disrespectful to eat in church, but<br />
what’s wrong with drinking water? -- Thirsty<br />
Dear Thirsty: It depends on the church. In<br />
many churches, there is no objection to congregants<br />
bringing in water or candy, although it<br />
is never appropriate to, say, pull out a chicken<br />
sandwich. <strong>The</strong>re are some people who<br />
absolutely need to keep their mouths from<br />
becoming too dry, but that doesn’t seem to be<br />
the case with you. Since your mother disapproves<br />
so strongly, try to go without.<br />
Dear Annie: I am 84 years old, and one leg<br />
is giving me trouble and hurts a lot. Because of<br />
this, when I take my mile walk, I am likely to<br />
fall easily and bruise. I decided I needed to deal<br />

suggested by the above cartoon.<br />
(Answers tomorrow)<br />
Jumbles: DERBY CRAZE BROOCH GRATIS<br />
Answer: What they faced when they were arrested <strong>for</strong><br />
battery — “CHARGES”<br />
with this, but a cane does not keep me from<br />
falling, and a walker is too clumsy. I came up<br />
with the perfect solution. I bought an inexpensive<br />
(under $10) umbrella baby stroller, put<br />
two bricks in the seat and tied a stuffed Cookie<br />
Monster in it. It works great.<br />
I now walk without the fear of falling, and it<br />
takes enough pressure off my leg that it doesn’t<br />
hurt. I am back to enjoying my walks, and<br />
the Cookie Monster has made many friends.<br />
When I go to Texas to visit my son, I plan to<br />
take it along and use it in the airport <strong>for</strong> my<br />
carry-on baggage and to make my walking easier.<br />
Hope this idea helps someone. -- E.R.F. in<br />
Lodi, Calif.<br />
Dear E.R.F.: Very cute. We also hope you<br />
will call your airline carrier and explain the<br />
problem. <strong>The</strong> airlines provide “meet-andassist”<br />
help <strong>for</strong> those who cannot walk long<br />
distances.<br />

Hi!<br />
I’m Annie!<br />
I am an 18 month<br />
old Akita cross<br />
and have spent<br />
most of my life in<br />
shelters. When I<br />
was only 6 months<br />
old I was left at<br />
Mendocino Animal<br />
Control. I was<br />
transferred to SF<br />
SPCA in hopes of<br />
finding a home.<br />
Sadly I just didn’t<br />
like city life. I was<br />
returned to Mendocino<br />
County. I<br />
like other dogs<br />
and I do need<br />
room to run and<br />
play. SF SPCA<br />
has taught me<br />
good doggie manners,<br />
but I still like<br />
to chew. If you<br />
have room in your<br />
heart and home<br />
<strong>for</strong> me, please call<br />

ing like I just got a big dose<br />
of how good it is to live in<br />
<strong>Ukiah</strong>; how good it is to live<br />
in America.<br />
“It really does feel that<br />
way and it’s (playing Uncle<br />
Sam) all about the good parts.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s nothing negative. It’s<br />
just a fun, fun time,” he said.<br />
Watching teens be teens is<br />
also a source of amusement<br />
<strong>for</strong> Bogner.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> teenage girls ... they<br />
hang out in twos and threes,<br />
walking down the midway<br />
looking <strong>for</strong> guys ... I try to<br />
give them flags and tell them<br />
it’s patriotic, but it’s not cool<br />
at 15 to carry an American<br />
flag. ... <strong>The</strong>y aren’t into it,”<br />
he said, noting, however,<br />
when he tells them the flags<br />
will attract boys, the girls<br />
generally smile and take<br />
them.<br />
While some of the<br />
teenagers he encounters<br />
might be reluctant to show<br />
their patriotic side, Uncle<br />
Sam appears to be growing in<br />
popularity with others.<br />
“Every year there seems to<br />
be more people who want me<br />

Approval of the 55-unit<br />
development proposed <strong>for</strong> the<br />
101 Redwood mill site would<br />
bring the total to 157 not<br />
counting about a dozen single<br />
family homes permitted and<br />
constructed.<br />
According to City<br />
Councilwoman Karen Oslund,<br />
the city grew by only 33<br />
homes between 1990 and<br />
2000.<br />
Snake<br />

and some years they are up,”<br />
said Dr. Robert M. Timm,<br />
superintendent and wildlife<br />
specialist at the Hopland<br />
Research and Extension<br />
Center. “One thing we have<br />
noticed this year is the lush<br />
growth of vegetation which<br />
leads to the growth of the<br />
rodent population. But it<br />
would take sometime be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
that would directly affect the<br />
snake population locally.”<br />
But some local residents<br />
say they have experienced<br />
quite a bit of snake activity<br />
close to home.<br />
“We’ve just been killing a<br />
lot of rattlesnakes around here<br />
between the landlady, other<br />
tenants and myself, we have<br />
killed about 10 of them,” said<br />
Robert Ashurst. Ashurst lives<br />
near Highway 101 between<br />
Hopland and <strong>Ukiah</strong>.<br />
“I’ve killed five of them<br />
Though he doesn’t<br />
quite remember<br />
why he started<br />
playing the part ...<br />
he does know that<br />
somewhere along the<br />
line he really began<br />
to enjoy it.<br />
to stand with them and get<br />
pictures,” he said, recalling<br />
some tourists from Sweden<br />
and South America who were<br />
happy about being able to<br />
have their pictures taken with<br />
him because it was a “very<br />
American thing.”<br />
Playing Uncle Sam<br />
involves “all the good things<br />
about America: the fireworks,<br />
the barbecues, the fun, and<br />
being proud to be American,”<br />
Bogner said.<br />
Though he doesn’t quite<br />
remember why he started<br />
playing the part -- other than<br />
he wanted to add something<br />
to the annual fireworks event<br />
and he was a board member<br />
of the Chamber of Commerce<br />
which sponsored the show<br />
then -- he does know that<br />
somewhere along the line he<br />
really began to enjoy it.<br />
“When I first started doing<br />
Council members are in<br />
general agreement with the<br />
state about the need <strong>for</strong> new<br />
housing. Those who lose<br />
houses or apartments in<br />
Willits particularly the rented<br />
variety - often have to leave<br />
the city in order to find new<br />
ones.<br />
On the other hand, the<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Safe Drinking<br />
Water Act prohibits approving<br />
new water connections if a<br />
jurisdiction would then be<br />
unable to meet the needs of all<br />
water users “under maximum<br />
demand conditions.”<br />
myself probably within 200<br />
feet from each other. Thursday<br />
or Friday night I killed two of<br />
them down near the creek. It<br />
just must be that time of year<br />
but we have never had snakes<br />
around here be<strong>for</strong>e like this.”<br />
In May and June temperatures<br />
tend to warm and snakes<br />
that have been hibernating<br />
venture out of their dens in<br />
search of food and warmth<br />
from the sun. And when<br />
snakes venture out they tend<br />
to meet their neighbors. “One<br />
day we were walking ... with<br />
my dachshund and he started<br />
barking up a ruckus and there<br />
one was about 5 feet from<br />
me,” Ashurst said. “I don’t<br />
know, my dachshund must be<br />
a snake dog or something. It<br />
definitely scared the heck out<br />
of me.”<br />
But rattlesnakes are generally<br />
not aggressive and will<br />
retreat if given room, although<br />
they will shake their rattle to<br />
alert passersby and strike<br />
when threatened.<br />
“This is the first time I’ve<br />
As Uncle Sam, John Bogner hands out flags during<br />
the Senior Center 4th of July Picnic on Monday.<br />
this I thought it’d be neat to<br />
make it a tradition. I had no<br />
idea what I was getting<br />
myself into. ... But now, if I<br />
decided to quit, I’d feel obligated<br />
to find a replacement,”<br />
Violation of the act could<br />
leave the city open to lawsuits<br />
and punitive action on the part<br />
of the state.<br />
At last count, the City of<br />
Willits was about 650<br />
acre/feet of water short of<br />
what it takes to meet the annual<br />
average demand of existing<br />
water customers in a drought<br />
year. <strong>The</strong> city is in the process<br />
of increasing its water supply<br />
through the installation of<br />
wells, but development applications<br />
continue to pour in.<br />
City Manager Ross Walker<br />
said growth has been antici-<br />
ever killed five snakes in a<br />
month and be<strong>for</strong>e this I never<br />
killed five snakes in my life,”<br />
Ashurst said.<br />
To avoid conflicts with rattlesnakes<br />
stick to well-used or<br />
open trails and try to avoid<br />
walking through thick brush.<br />
Also do not put your hands<br />
where you cannot see and try<br />
to wear footwear that comes<br />
to the ankle or higher and<br />
wear loose fitting long pants.<br />
If you are bitten by a snake<br />
or know someone who has,<br />
have a plan in place to<br />
respond to the situation.<br />
According to the Cali<strong>for</strong>nia<br />
Poison Control Center the first<br />
action should to stay calm.<br />
You should wash the bite gently<br />
with soap and water to<br />
reduce further infection.<br />
Remove watches, rings or<br />
other things that might constrict<br />
your body if it starts to<br />
swell. Immobilize the affected<br />
area and find some sort of<br />
transportation to the nearest<br />
medical facility <strong>for</strong> treatment.<br />

pated, but not at the magnitude<br />
and rapidity experienced<br />
in the last few years. Real<br />
estate agents say skyrocketing<br />
housing prices in the Bay Area<br />
and Santa Rosa have been<br />
increasing the demand in markets<br />
to the north.<br />
Apparently, many who<br />
have purchased homes in<br />
<strong>Ukiah</strong> and Willits now commute<br />
to jobs in their original<br />
locations. In short, the high<br />
cost of housing trumps the<br />
high cost of gasoline when<br />
Northern Cali<strong>for</strong>nians decide<br />
where to live.<br />
venom on hand,” said Tim<br />
Rohan, director of emergency<br />
services at <strong>Ukiah</strong> Valley<br />
Medical Center. “We didn’t<br />
run out last year and we don’t<br />
anticipate running out this<br />
year.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are about 15 species<br />
of rattlesnakes in the United<br />
States with some living up to<br />
25 years old. Rattlesnakes are<br />
heavy-bodied blunt tailed<br />
snakes and come with that distinct<br />
rattle at the end of their<br />
tail. It has a triangular shaped<br />
head with the back being<br />
much broader than the front.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y usually grow to an average<br />
of three to four feet but<br />
some species can reach a<br />
length of eight feet. <strong>The</strong>y can<br />
vary in color and design but<br />
similar characteristics include<br />
a series of dark and light<br />
bands near the end of the tail<br />
and come in shades of brown,<br />
tan, yellow, gray, black,<br />
chalky white, dull red and<br />
olive green.<br />

Veterans<br />
Continued from Page 1<br />
reported that nearly 63,000<br />
veterans live in Mendocino,<br />
Lake and Sonoma counties.<br />
<strong>The</strong> North Bay Veterans<br />
Resource Center estimates<br />
that approximately 350 veterans<br />
are discharged to this tricounty<br />
area each month.<br />
While some successfully<br />
find gainful employment or<br />
use their GI Bill to go to<br />
school upon return, others are<br />
left with low-paying jobs or<br />
<strong>for</strong>ced to apply <strong>for</strong> unemployment.<br />
Because of this, and<br />
other factors, a number of veterans<br />
end up homeless.<br />
<strong>The</strong> grant, which specifically<br />
focuses on reintegrating<br />
homeless veterans, will be<br />
applied in two phases according<br />
to Orosco.<br />
“If they’re homeless, the<br />
first thing they need is stabilization,”<br />
Orosco said.<br />
Veterans will be supplied<br />
with housing through partnerships<br />
with other agencies,<br />
then any additional issues<br />
such as mental health, legal<br />
and substance abuse problems<br />
will be addressed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second phase is work<strong>for</strong>ce<br />
development driven.<br />
Vets partake in a two-week<br />
“Winning the Employment<br />
Game” course, which, according<br />
to the Vietnam Veterans of<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia’s Web site, has a 90<br />
percent success rate <strong>for</strong> gradu-<br />

ates attaining jobs they want<br />
or pursuing higher education.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y are workshops more<br />
than classrooms, and people<br />
are really involved in it,”<br />
Orosco said. “It’s extremely<br />
motivating.”<br />
Orosco said the program is<br />
mostly self-directed.<br />
Following the training session,<br />
if a participant wants<br />
further job training, the<br />
Center will do labor research<br />
to ensure that there is a market<br />
<strong>for</strong> the type of training.<br />
“If there is a market, we<br />
will pay <strong>for</strong> whatever training<br />
they want,” Orosco said.<br />
She said that businesses in<br />
the community want to hire<br />
veterans. Often, skills<br />
obtained while in the military<br />
make veterans qualified <strong>for</strong><br />
many fields. According to<br />
North Bay Veterans Resource<br />
Centers, employers who have<br />
hired veterans find that their<br />
job skills and work ethic make<br />
them dependable, reliable and<br />
loyal employees.<br />
“We have people that want<br />
to hire veterans,” Orosco said.<br />
Comcast, North Bay Builders<br />
Exchange and SBC have<br />
taken advantage of these<br />
skilled workers by hiring veterans.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> great thing about this<br />
grant is many homeless vets<br />
will be housed, stabilized and<br />
will have employment and<br />
training leading to self-sufficiency,”<br />
Orosco said.<br />
