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

For the past 25 years, John Bogner has

Uncle Sam for the Fourth of July in

Who is
Uncle Sam?
Some may associate him with the
Army ... others with the Fourth of July,
but just who was the real Uncle Sam?
“The exact origins of Uncle Sam as a
symbol for the United States are
unknown. But the most widely accepted
theory is that Uncle Sam was named
after Samuel Wilson,” states an article
on bensguide.gpo.gov.
“During the War of 1812, Samuel
Wilson was a businessman from Troy,
N.Y. that supplied the U.S. Army with
beef in barrels. The barrels were
labeled ‘U.S.’ When asked what the initials
stood for, one of Wilson’s workers

said it stood for Uncle Sam Wilson. The
suggestion that the meat shipments
came from ‘Uncle Sam’ led to the idea
that Uncle Sam symbolized the federal
government and the association stuck.
In 1961, Congress passed a resolution
that recognized Samuel Wilson as the
inspiration for the symbol Uncle Sam,”
states the article, which notes that the
real Sam Wilson looked nothing like
Uncle Sam’s traditional appearance.
The white goatee and star-spangled
suit is an invention of artists and political
cartoonists, according to the article.
“The most famous picture of Uncle
Sam appeared on an Army recruiting
poster. The poster was designed in
World War I, and was used in World
War II. The caption reads, ‘I Want You
for the U.S. Army,’” states the article at

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

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

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

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

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

under investigation.

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

an essential stretch after you’ve

comfortable and not painful.
2. Step back a few feet so that
your hips are directly over your

Bend at the hips, not at the waist.

Free eye-care from
Redwood Empire
Lions Club
As a member of the Lions Eye
Foundation of California-Nevada,
Inc., the Redwood Empire Lions
Club is able to provide assistance
for those in need of surgical eye
care but who lack insurance or have
limited finances. Qualifying patients
can receive free surgical eye care at
the California Pacific Medical
Center in San Francisco. This
includes all surgical care, laser treatments,
appointments, MRIs, blood
draws, diagnostics, EKGs, and
numerous other procedures. The
foundation will also pay for medications
and motel rooms for patients
having surgery. The mission of the
Lions and the Foundation is “to pre-
serve and restore the gift of sight by
providing free ophthalmic examinations,
operations and medications to
the less fortunate members of our
community.”
Since its organization in 1917,
Lions Clubs International has had a
service commitment to the community
as the primary goal. In 1925,
Helen Keller addressed the Lions at
the international convention and
challenged the Lions to become the
“knights of the blind in the crusade
against darkness.” The Lions took
up that challenge and since then has
been providing service and care to
those in darkness.
The Redwood Empire Lions Club
has provided free eyeglasses and
exams to those without insurance
and with limited finances since its
charter more than 35 years ago. In
addition as members of the “Ear of
the Lion” Hearing Foundation, the
Redwood Empire Lions Club can
assist those hearing impaired citizens.
The Hearing Foundation is
dedicated to assist qualified low
income hearing impaired people
unable to afford the care they need
to hear better and issues hearing
aids from its hearing aid bank at a
nominal fee.

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

related information, I am

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

merit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

leaving Pat Hurst behind on the fairways
and on the scorecard, Sorenstam
turned the 18-hole playoff into a
snoozer at Newport Country Club with
a 1-under 70 for a four-shot victory.
It was the largest margin of victory
in a playoff at the major since Kathy
Cornelius won by seven shots 50 years
ago.
Sorenstam led by five shots at the
turn, but she didn’t celebrate until tapping

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

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

TOUR DE FRANCE
Hushovd regains yellow jersey
By JAMEY KEATEN
The Associated Press
ESCH-SUR-ALZETTE,
Luxembourg — Norway’s
Thor Hushovd reclaimed the
overall Tour de France lead
from George Hincapie on
Monday during a sweltering
ride in which Australia’s
Robbie McEwen captured the
second stage in a sprint finish.
Hincapie, the fourth
American to wear the leader’s
yellow jersey in the 103-year
history of the Tour, dropped to
fourth overall. Belgium’s Tom
Boonen is second and
McEwen third.
McEwen, a sprinter from
the Davitamon-Lotto team,
was followed by Boonen in
the 137-mile stage. Hushovd
was third after his left shoe
popped out of its pedal in the
final stretch.
This was the ninth stage
victory in nine Tours for
McEwen. He is trying to win
the green jersey as the three-
Grier
Continued from Page 6
The deal will pay Grier
$1,775,000 a year, a boost
over the $1.36 million he
made with Buffalo last season
before becoming an unrestricted
free agent Saturday
for the first time in his career.
A message left with the
Sharks was not immediately
returned.
A 10-year NHL veteran,
Grier was a valuable defensive
specialist and behind-thescenes
leader in helping a
young Sabres team win a fran-
Open
Continued from Page 6
But this wasn’t just another
major.
The U.S. Women’s Open is
by far the biggest event on the
LPGA Tour, and Sorenstam
figured she would pile up several
titles after winning in
1995 and 1996, so dominant
in her second victory that she
missed only five fairways all
week at Pine Needles and won
by six.
But it has been nothing but
frustration since then.
Juli Inkster overcame a
two-shot deficit to beat her in
2002 at Prairie Dunes. Meg
Mallon outplayed her at The
Orchards two years later.
Sorenstam sometimes beat
herself, making bogey on the
par-5 18th at Pumpkin Ridge
to miss a playoff by one shot
in 2003.
Sorenstam had won 63
times and seven majors since
her last Open victory, establishing
herself as the best in
the game, missing only another
U.S. Open title for validation.
And when her 30-foot
birdie putt on the 18th hole
Sunday evening rippled over
the right edge of the cup, she
might have wondered whether

Hurst holed a 5-foot par
putt to force the 10th playoff
in the 61-year history of this
championship. Both finished
at even-par 284, a testament to
the demanding conditions at
Newport.
But it was a different story
Monday.
Both players had a sand
wedge into the par-5 first hole,
and Hurst showed some tattered
nerves by hitting it
heavy. The ball landed by the

week race’s best sprinter, a
title he captured in 2002 and
2004.
The route from Obernai in
eastern France was the second-longest
stage in this
year’s race. Riders had to
withstand intense sunshine,
with road temperatures climbing
to nearly 122 degrees.
“It makes a long hard day.

McEwen said.
Hushovd rebounded from
an accident Sunday in which
his right arm was sliced open
by a large cardboard hand that
a fan was holding over the
safety barriers. He needed
stitches and said Monday it
was hard to move his arm.
But in the final sprint “you
forget the pain,” he said. “I’ve
got the yellow jersey. I can’t
complain.”

2001.
He finished with 23 points
(seven goals, 16 assists) in 81
games last season — his lowest
point total since registering
15 in 1997-98 with
Edmonton. But he scored a
career-high four game-winning
goals while usually playing
against an opposing
team’s top line.
Grier added three goals and
five assists in 18 playoff
games.
His addition bolsters the
Sharks’ depth at forward after
the team lost two players in

fired through the ball, and it
spun off the back of the green
to 6 feet away. Hurst left her
birdie putt 10 feet short, and
her par putt didn’t even reach
the hole.
Sorenstam poured her putt
into the middle of the cup,
quickly building a two-shot
lead.
On the next hole, Hurst hit
another wedge that stopped 4
feet below the hole, and it
looked as though she might
get both strokes back when
Sorenstam hit her approach 40
feet above the hole, trickling it
down to 4 feet. Hurst pulled
her birdie putt, Sorenstam
made her par, and the rout was
on. “I didn’t make any putts.
That was what probably kept
me back,” Hurst said. “If I
could have made some putts,
it would have been closer, I

Sorenstam added an 8-foot

Hushovd, the green jersey
winner of the last Tour, took
the race lead Saturday, beating
Hincapie by fractions of a second
in the opening prologue
time trial. But shrewd riding
by Hincapie on Sunday
helped the former teammate
of Lance Armstrong take the
yellow jersey from Hushovd
— if only for a day.
Hushovd got it back
Monday by collecting bonus
seconds in sprints along the
route and for his third-place
finish. He now hoped to keep
it at least until the first long
time trial of this Tour on
Saturday.
“I wanted to get it back,” he
said.
Hincapie said he wasn’t
disappointed that he lost the
yellow jersey.
“It was great, a really special
feeling, something I’ve
always wanted to do,”
Hincapie said. “To have it for
a day is a big accomplishment
for me.”

Sorenstam went from the
rough to a muddy bunker 40
yards from the hole, chunked
her shot and had 65 feet for
par. They both lagged nicely,
but Hurst jabbed her 3-foot
putt and it lipped out, giving
her a double bogey.
That put her four shots
behind through seven holes,
and Hurst dropped another
shot on the ninth by missing a
6-foot par putt. She went out
in 4-over 39, trailing
Sorenstam by five shots.
It was such a blowout that
Hurst did not have honors on
the tee until No. 14, following
Sorenstam’s bogey on the par-
3 13th. Sorenstam was at her
best, piping it down the middle
of the fairway and staying
away from trouble. She
missed only four greens in the
playoff, putting enormous
pressure on her opponent.
Hurst had made 16 birdies
through four rounds of regulation,
by far the most at
Newport, but only made one
in the playoff. Sorenstam won
for the 68th time in her career,
leaving her 20 short of Kathy
Whitworth’s all-time record
of 88.

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

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

greater than the sum of the
parts. Yet Ballack has been
given license to roam the
entire pitch, to launch attacks
or blunt them he sees fit, to
take risks none of his teammates
would dare consider.
That freedom is part reward
for his sublime skills and part
recognition by Klinsmann, a
free spirit and former national
team star himself, that it represents
Germany’s best
chance to win it all. But in a
larger sense, Ballack’s leadership
role, with its emphasis on
individual creativity, has
become a test case on how a
unified Germany might proceed.
When Klinsmann agreed to
take over the team, he came
under criticism for a few
things: living most of the year
in sunny, laid-back California
and scrapping Germany’s traditionally
dull, overwhelmingly
defensive 3-5-2 formation
in favor of an aggressive,
wide-open 4-4-2 scheme.
Most of all, though, critics
jumped on Klinsmann for

still four years away ready to
win the World Cup now. After
three weeks of games and one
nervy win after another, with
Ballack pulling most of the

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

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

Dear Annie: My mom and I go to church
every Sunday. Last week, as I was getting out
of the van, I grabbed a bottle of water to take
inside with me. My mom refused to let me
bring the water in, saying it’s not right to eat or
drink in church.
I know the service is only 45 minutes, and I
agree that it’s disrespectful to eat in church, but
what’s wrong with drinking water? -- Thirsty
Dear Thirsty: It depends on the church. In
many churches, there is no objection to congregants
bringing in water or candy, although it
is never appropriate to, say, pull out a chicken
sandwich. There are some people who
absolutely need to keep their mouths from
becoming too dry, but that doesn’t seem to be
the case with you. Since your mother disapproves
so strongly, try to go without.

(under $10) umbrella baby stroller, put
two bricks in the seat and tied a stuffed Cookie
Monster in it. It works great.
I now walk without the fear of falling, and it
takes enough pressure off my leg that it doesn’t
hurt. I am back to enjoying my walks, and
the Cookie Monster has made many friends.
When I go to Texas to visit my son, I plan to
take it along and use it in the airport for my
carry-on baggage and to make my walking easier.
Hope this idea helps someone. -- E.R.F. in
Lodi, Calif.
Dear E.R.F.: Very cute. We also hope you
will call your airline carrier and explain the
problem. The airlines provide “meet-andassist”
help for those who cannot walk long
distances.

Hi!
I’m Annie!
I am an 18 month
old Akita cross
and have spent
most of my life in
shelters. When I
was only 6 months
old I was left at
Mendocino Animal
Control. I was
transferred to SF
SPCA in hopes of
finding a home.
Sadly I just didn’t
like city life. I was
returned to Mendocino
County. I
like other dogs
and I do need
room to run and
play. SF SPCA
has taught me
good doggie manners,
but I still like
to chew. If you
have room in your
heart and home
for me, please call
Animal Rescue
895-3785.

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

Approval of the 55-unit
development proposed for the

bring the total to 157 not
counting about a dozen single

the city grew by only 33

and some years they are up,”
said Dr. Robert M. Timm,
superintendent and wildlife
specialist at the Hopland
Research and Extension
Center. “One thing we have
noticed this year is the lush
growth of vegetation which
leads to the growth of the
rodent population. But it
would take sometime before
that would directly affect the
snake population locally.”
But some local residents
say they have experienced
quite a bit of snake activity
close to home.
“We’ve just been killing a
lot of rattlesnakes around here
between the landlady, other
tenants and myself, we have
killed about 10 of them,” said
Robert Ashurst. Ashurst lives
near Highway 101 between
Hopland and Ukiah.
“I’ve killed five of them

to stand with them and get
pictures,” he said, recalling
some tourists from Sweden
and South America who were
happy about being able to
have their pictures taken with
him because it was a “very
American thing.”
Playing Uncle Sam
involves “all the good things
about America: the fireworks,
the barbecues, the fun, and
being proud to be American,”
Bogner said.
Though he doesn’t quite
remember why he started
playing the part -- other than
he wanted to add something
to the annual fireworks event
and he was a board member
of the Chamber of Commerce
which sponsored the show
then -- he does know that
somewhere along the line he
really began to enjoy it.

Council members are in
general agreement with the
state about the need for new
housing. Those who lose
houses or apartments in
Willits particularly the rented
variety - often have to leave
the city in order to find new
ones.
On the other hand, the
California Safe Drinking
Water Act prohibits approving
new water connections if a
jurisdiction would then be
unable to meet the needs of all
water users “under maximum
demand conditions.”
myself probably within 200
feet from each other. Thursday
or Friday night I killed two of
them down near the creek. It
just must be that time of year
but we have never had snakes
around here before like this.”
In May and June temperatures
tend to warm and snakes
that have been hibernating
venture out of their dens in
search of food and warmth
from the sun. And when
snakes venture out they tend
to meet their neighbors. “One
day we were walking ... with
my dachshund and he started
barking up a ruckus and there
one was about 5 feet from
me,” Ashurst said. “I don’t
know, my dachshund must be
a snake dog or something. It
definitely scared the heck out
of me.”
But rattlesnakes are generally
not aggressive and will
retreat if given room, although
they will shake their rattle to
alert passersby and strike
when threatened.
“This is the first time I’ve

this I thought it’d be neat to
make it a tradition. I had no
idea what I was getting
myself into. ... But now, if I
decided to quit, I’d feel obligated
to find a replacement,”
Violation of the act could
leave the city open to lawsuits
and punitive action on the part
of the state.
At last count, the City of
Willits was about 650
acre/feet of water short of
what it takes to meet the annual
average demand of existing
water customers in a drought
year. The city is in the process
of increasing its water supply
through the installation of
wells, but development applications
continue to pour in.
City Manager Ross Walker
said growth has been antici-

month and before this I never
killed five snakes in my life,”
Ashurst said.
To avoid conflicts with rattlesnakes
stick to well-used or
open trails and try to avoid
walking through thick brush.
Also do not put your hands
where you cannot see and try
to wear footwear that comes
to the ankle or higher and
wear loose fitting long pants.
If you are bitten by a snake
or know someone who has,
have a plan in place to
respond to the situation.
According to the California
Poison Control Center the first
action should to stay calm.
You should wash the bite gently
with soap and water to
reduce further infection.
Remove watches, rings or
other things that might constrict
your body if it starts to
swell. Immobilize the affected
area and find some sort of
transportation to the nearest
medical facility for treatment.

pated, but not at the magnitude
and rapidity experienced
in the last few years. Real
estate agents say skyrocketing
housing prices in the Bay Area
and Santa Rosa have been
increasing the demand in markets
to the north.
Apparently, many who

Rohan, director of emergency
services at Ukiah Valley
Medical Center. “We didn’t

anticipate running out this
year.”
There are about 15 species
of rattlesnakes in the United
States with some living up to
25 years old. Rattlesnakes are
heavy-bodied blunt tailed
snakes and come with that distinct
rattle at the end of their
tail. It has a triangular shaped
head with the back being
much broader than the front.
They usually grow to an average
of three to four feet but
some species can reach a
length of eight feet. They can
vary in color and design but
similar characteristics include
a series of dark and light
bands near the end of the tail
and come in shades of brown,
tan, yellow, gray, black,
chalky white, dull red and
olive green.

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

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