Potter Valley superintendent/elementary principal hired
Barr
By LAURA CLARK
The Daily Journal
There will be a new man on
the Potter Valley Elementary
School campus come May 15.
That is, when Gary Barr is not
working at the district office
about an eighth of a mile down
the road.
Barr, formerly of Sonoma
County, has been hired as the
new Potter Valley Community
Unified School District superin-

The phrase “to protect and serve” will
take on a new meaning at The Broiler in
Redwood Valley Saturday, where members
of county law enforcement will raise money
for athletes participating in the Mendocino
County Inland Special Olympics as part of
the Tip-a-Cop fund-raiser.
Between 5 and 8 p.m., eight to 10 officers
from the Ukiah Police Department, the
Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office and the
parole office will serve drinks, deliver food
and fill water glasses for restaurant customers.
“We do a little bit of everything,” said
tendent and the elementary
school principal.
Lucky thing he likes children.
“I like working with kids,
family and teachers ... the whole
education community,” Barr said
Tuesday, when asked why he
chose a career in education more
than 30 years ago.
Barr worked in the public
school system in Sonoma
County for about 25 years as,
among other things, a superin-
Tip-a-Cop
tendent, teacher, principal and
special projects director. Then he
moved to Romania, where he
spent nine years as the principal/director
of an elementary
section of an international baccalaureate
private school.
These days, Barr says Potter
Valley sounds like a good fit.
“I came back from Romania
to take care of my mother, who is
not well, then I went out looking
for a job. I was looking for a
small, rural district, and Potter
Valley came up and it looked like
a nice fit with me, so here I am,”
he said.
“I am excited to get started; I
have been away from kids for
almost a year and I am excited to
get back to school with kids and
families,” Barr said.
Asked his plans once he gets
there, he said: “I need to get to
know the community and work
with them ... and just take the

Mendocino County’s “miracle March” continued into April,
according to the latest snow depth reports, which put snow
depth and water content at almost twice the average measurements.
Surveys taken April 28 at the Plaskett Meadows snow course
in the Mendocino County National Forest by Fred Burrows and
Jordan Saylor of the Covelo Ranger District measured the snow
pack at 94 inches with a water content of 40 inches.
“This year the storms were colder, which made for a more

Smallcomb.
Those who eat at The Broiler on Saturday
can leave tips for the police who serve their
tables. Often restaurant staff will offer to
split their night’s tips with police or simply
donate the whole amount, Smallcomb said.
This is the seventh year county law
enforcement has been involved with the program
and the fifth year officers have worked
with The Broiler. Previously the event was
held at the Crushed Grape in Hopland.
Smallcomb said the event usually draws
as many as 200 people, and police generally
make between $2,500 and $3,000 for charity
during their three-hour shift.
“It gets bigger and bigger for them every
year,” said Shirley Dietrick, general manager
at The Broiler
“People here are really giving,”
Smallcomb said.
The money stays within the county and
goes to support athletes in the Special
Olympics in bowling and softball.
Smallcomb said at one time the department
supported seven different sports, but has
scaled back in recent years.
There are between 100 and 150 participants
in the Special Olympics in the inland

Robert Faust.
The average snow depth for April is 54 inches with a water
content of 23 inches. Last year at this time snow depth was 80
inches.
“Usually snow depth and water content decreases during
April; but during the last two years we have had bountiful precipitation,”

Officers at UPD objected to his placement
in the city because Parmely’s victims
and some of the witnesses from his
trial still reside in or visit Ukiah.
Police investigators were advised that a
ranking supervisor at the Department of
Youth Authority directed that Parmely be
located in Ukiah despite the objections of
local authorities, according to a UPD
press release.
Officials at UPD note that, despite the
fact that extensive treatment and rehabilitation
programs are available in
Sacramento, the decision was made to
release Parmely in Ukiah.
As a condition of his parole, Parmely is

County snow pack nearly twice average measurement
Snow depth and water content have been steadily climbing
since the first measurements were taken in January that recorded
snow depth at 36 inches and water content at 12 inches, both
significantly below average.
At the time, Faust said measurements taken in April would
be a better indicator of how the county’s water-table would fare
this summer.
Measurements taken in February were also below average, but
on March 2 the snow started to fall in the mountains and continued
almost daily, increasing 50 inches in a month, Faust said.

Man completes cross-country hike
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Steve Vaught didn’t count
each mile he walked or weigh himself every
day along the way. And as he completed the
final leg of his trek across America, he said
making it to New York City from California on
foot was only part of his story.
“I’m glad that I’m here, but for me it’s never
been about the destination,” he said as he
crossed the George Washington Bridge from
New Jersey to Manhattan more than a year
after he began the trip to lose weight and find
happiness. “It’s been about the journey.”
Vaught, 40, began the roughly 3,000-mile
trek from his Oceanside, Calif., home to
Manhattan on April 10, 2005, when he was 410
pounds and suffering from severe depression
after he accidentally killed two elderly pedestrians
while driving 15 years ago.
He ended the journey Tuesday about 100
pounds lighter.
Along the way, Vaught slept in tents and
motels and went through 15 pairs of shoes,
more than 30 pairs of socks and six backpacks.
But he didn’t travel with a pedometer or mea-

sure the food he ate, and he said he aimed to
change his behavior — not just his weight.
“This is not about obsessing about numbers,
or times, or dates, or miles,” he said. “It’s just
about going on a walk and sort of having time
to get things straight.”
Vaught’s path wasn’t a straight one. He
spent a week at a Texas hotel, where he went
off antidepressants, and he returned to
California for Christmas and then to work out
with a personal trainer.
Vaught chronicled his progress on a Web
site, thefatmanwalking.com, which lists the
names of dozens of supporters in 26 states. He
has a book deal, and his trip attracted the attention
of documentary filmmakers.
As Vaught began walking the span from
New Jersey to Manhattan on Tuesday evening
with a flock of cameras and reporters, a passing
bicyclist yelled, “Hey, that’s the walking
dude! Congratulations! Good job!”

Iranians: U.S. hasty
in brushoff of Iran
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice’s abrupt dismissal of a letter
from Iran’s president might only strengthen
hardline attitudes and mistrust of America,
some Iranians warned Tuesday.
As President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
began a high-profile visit to a key Muslim
country, Indonesia, a former top Iranian official
said Rice’s response will give new justification
to those who oppose ties with the
U.S.
Iran’s former ambassador to France, Sadeq
Kharrazi, said the letter — the first from an
Iranian head of state to an American president
in 27 years — “could have been a turning
point in relations.” But he said Rice squandered
the opportunity with what he called a
“hasty reaction.”
“This gives a pretext to those in Iran who
oppose re-establishment of ties with
America,” he said.
Ahmadinejad’s 18-page letter to President
Bush touched only indirectly on the hottest
dispute between the two countries — Iran’s
nuclear program. Instead, it focuses on a long
list of grievances against the United States
and seeks to build on a shared faith in God to
resolve them.
Suicide truck bomber
kills 17 in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — A suicide truck
bomber attacked a crowded market in Tal
Afar late Tuesday, killing at least 17 people
and wounding 35 in a city cited by President
Bush as a success story in battling insurgents.
The bombing occurred after incoming
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said he had
almost finished assembling a Cabinet, the
final step in establishing a national unity government.
U.S. officials had predicted insurgents
would step up attacks to try to block the
new administration.
U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said
al-Maliki would soon launch a four-part plan
to restore order by securing Baghdad, Basra
and eight other cities, promoting reconciliation,
building public confidence in the police
and army and disbanding sectarian militias.
The truck bomber struck about 8:30 p.m.
as shoppers in Tal Afar were scurrying to finish
their purchases before closing, according
to police Col. Abdul-Karim Mohammed, who
gave the casualty figures.
The director of the city hospital, Saleh
Qado, said 20 people were killed and 70
wounded, and that U.S. Army medics provided
emergency treatment at the scene before
loading the injured into ambulances.
Rumsfeld defends choice
of Hayden for CIA
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense
Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday
that in light of prewar intelligence failures in
Iraq, U.S. officials must be extra careful in
evaluating intelligence about Iran’s nuclear
program.
At a Pentagon news conference, Rumsfeld
was asked how confident the American people
should be in the reliability of the intelli-

gence that is being produced on Iran and its
nuclear intentions, given what happened with
Iraq.
He responded by noting the failure on Iraq,
whose alleged weapons of mass destruction
were the chief public justification given by
President Bush for invading in March 2003 to
overthrow the regime of Saddam Hussein.
“It turns out it was wrong, that intelligence.
Fair enough,” he said. “It’s a tough
business. It’s a difficult thing to be right all
the time. And the information was not correct.
Does that give one pause? You bet.”
When publicly discussing the reliability of
U.S. foreign intelligence, Rumsfeld often
notes the risk of mistakes and gaps, particularly
regarding information on countries like
Iran and North Korea that the Bush administration
considers rogue nations. But he had
not previously indicated that the Iraq failures
give him pause on Iran.
GOP forges deal
on investor tax cuts
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans in
Congress reached agreement Tuesday on a
$70 billion measure to extend tax breaks for
investors and prevent more middle-income
families from being hit by a tax aimed at the
wealthy.
The bill would hand President Bush one of
his top tax priorities, a two-year extension of
the reduced 15 percent tax rate for capital
gains and dividends, currently set to expire at
the end of 2008. Republicans credit the tax
cuts, enacted in 2003, with boosting economic
growth and creating many jobs.
The measure also would keep 15 million
families from being hit this year with the
alternative minimum tax, which was
designed to make sure the wealthy paid taxes
but is ensnaring more and more middleincome
families because it is not indexed for
inflation.
The accord paves the way for House
approval of the measure as early as
Wednesday. The Senate could clear the bill
for Bush’s desk by week’s end.
“This is a responsible bill that protects
families and small business owners from tax
increases, while also providing investors with
a bigger window of certainty — critical to
continued economic growth,” said Ways and
Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas, R-
Calif.
U.S., allies agree
to Palestinian aid
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United
States bowed to pressure from its allies on
Tuesday and agreed to support a new program
to temporarily funnel additional humanitarian
aid directly to the Palestinian people.
A statement by Mideast peacemakers,
issued after a day of closed-door diplomatic
meetings, did not suggest precisely how
much or what kind of aid they would provide.
But the agreement seemed to underscore a
concern that months of withholding most aid
from the Palestinians, part of an effort to
pressure the new Hamas-led government
toward a more accommodating stance with
Israel, was harming the Palestinian people.

Once-flat beer sales are
beginning to bubble back
By LIBBY QUAID
AP Food and Farm Writer
CHICAGO -- Beer sales had
gone flat, while wine was flying
off the shelves.
So beer makers decided to
steal a page from wine’s marketing
manual and create new
packaging, flavors and drinks.
Now beer is coming back.
The major brewers “blended,
became the same,” says Nick
Lake, beer expert at
ACNielsen, the marketing
information company.
“If they didn’t have the
brand in some ads -- a
Budweiser ad, a Miller Lite ad,
a Coors ad -- if they didn’t
have the can in it, it could be
any one of the three,” said
Lake, the company’s vice president
of new business development.
Now, brewers are pitching
their beer as cooler, classier
and healthier, trying to do for
their beverage what Starbucks
has done for coffee.
The result is that people are
finally buying more beer.
From fruity malt drinks to
organic pale ale and lager, new
beer products are on display
this week in Chicago at the
Food Marketing Institute Show,
the supermarket industry’s
annual trade show.
Beer is still the drink of
choice for at least half the people
who drink alcohol in the
United States, but wine and
spirits have been enticing
drinkers in ever-growing numbers.
A Gallup survey last year
found that as many Americans
pick wine as their drink of
choice as pick beer. The wine
industry has jockeyed for attention
with cute critters on the
label, easy-open screwcaps and
cans and party-friendly boxes.
Basically, wine seemed to
have gotten more fun. So beer
companies started thinking
about how to do more with
their brews. And, in some
instances, they joined forces.
“We can all compete, but
then we can all be friends when
it comes to beer versus a
cosmo or a merlot,” said Bill
Laufer, spokesman for
Anheuser-Bush Cos. Inc.
For beer, new packaging
includes Heineken’s keg can
for the fridge, which gives peo-
BUSINESS BY THE BLOCK
ple draft beer at home. Coors
sells a cooler box with 18ounce
plastic bottles that is
ready to be filled with ice and
taken to the beach or a barbecue.
And Budweiser comes in
new sturdy aluminum bottles
that are like a cross between a
can and a glass bottle.
Beyond packaging is flavor.
For Anheuser-Busch, maker of
Budweiser, that means Bud
Select, a light beer with a more
robust taste. Bud Select has
been the best-selling new beer
brand, Lake said.
The biggest sales potential is
in so-called “craft” beers and
imports, ACNielsen says.
Anheuser-Busch recently
signed a deal to distribute
imports including Grolsch and
Harbin. Miller’s parent,
SABMiller PLC, also sells
Pilsener Urquell.
Recently, the St. Louis-based
beer giant has rolled out several
new products, including two
micro-brew styles, Stone Mill
Pale Ale and Wild Hop Lager,
that are certified organic.
They’ve also created a new
malt beverage, Peels, made
with all-natural fruit. That’s on
top of Anheuser-Busch’s B-tothe-E
and Tilt, which have
sweet flavors, caffeine, ginseng
and guarana, a Brazilian stimulant.
Healthy products are important
to consumers, which is
another aspect of wine’s
appeal, Lake said.
“The wine category, in particular
red wine, has done a
masterful job of selling the
health benefits of red wine,”
Lake said. “Who hasn’t heard
that story? And the reality of it
is, you get the same health benefits
from beer as you do from
red wine.”
Riding into the sunset: Transportation of the future
What will the transportation
of the future look like? Will it
consist of Jetsons style flying
cars that fold into briefcases,
will it be essentially the same as
it is today, or will it hearken
back to a simpler time? While
there is no crystal ball that can
show exactly what lies ahead,
recognition of current trends
provides clues. With fuel prices
at record highs and showing no
signs of ever decreasing it’s
time to start looking at truly
efficient personal transportation.
While hybrids and efficient
diesels are better than the
traditional American gas-guzzlers,
they pale in comparison
to the most efficient form of
personal transportation, the reliable
bicycle.
In an internal combustion
vehicle very little of the energy
consumed actually goes to
move the occupant. Some is lost
as heat from the engine and
more from the engine to the
transmission. Not to mention
the fact that enough power is
required to move a vehicle that
weighs several thousand
pounds. All of this energy is
expended to move a passenger,
weighing at the most a couple
of hundred pounds. A bicycle
transfers almost all of the energy
supplied by the rider into
forward momentum, and the
GULP Focus on . . .
By Clifford Paulin
weight of the vehicle pales in
comparison to that of the passenger.
In addition, drag created
by air turbulence increases
exponentially with speed, thus
the slower speed of a bike has
much less drag to overcome,
further increasing efficiency.
Bicycles are a primary form
of transportation for a majority
of the human population. Many
environmentalists correctly
point out the environmental disaster
that would ensue if a
majority of the Chinese who
currently rely upon bicycle
transport were to switch to
automobiles. What is often
overlooked is the massive benefit
that would result if the
majority of Americans currently
addicted to their automobiles
were to make the switch to
bicycles. In areas that have
already experienced major
reductions in available energy,
such as Cuba, the bicycle has
once again become a critical
element in the transport of
goods and people.
The Ukiah Valley is particularly
well suited to bicycle commuting.
As noted in the City of
Ukiah Bicycle and Pedestrian
Master Plan of 1999, 36 percent
of all Ukiah Employees live
within a ten-minute ride of their
workplaces. The relatively
small size and flat topography
of the city make mass commuting
by bike a viable prospect.
In addition to the energy saving
benefits of bicycle transportation,
increased ridership
also provides health benefits for
riders and quality of life
enhancements for all. Riding is
one of the best aerobic activities
one can undertake and has none
of the impact on joints and
bones associated with running,
as long as you don’t fall that is!
The general community benefits
from increased bicycle commuting
through a reduction in
vehicle noise, reduced air pollution,
and a decrease in traffic,
which reduces the need for
more roads, leaving that space
available for open and agricultural
uses.
In an effort to increase
awareness of the value of
cycling the Greater Ukiah
Localization Project (GULP)
has undertaken several efforts.
GULP along with the City of
Ukiah will be promoting Peddle
to the Park, an event designed
to encourage people to ride
their bikes to the Concert in the
Park events. The hope is to provide
“Valet” parking for bicycles
at the events and have a
bike parade wind from Alex
Thomas Plaza to Todd Grove
Park. In addition, GULP is
actively engaged with the 2006
update of the Mendocino
County Regional Bikeway Plan.

involved with any of these projects,
or any of GULP’s other
projects, check the website at

Paulin at 463-2921. GULP

sunset with you.

It has been brought to my attention that the

Kelli Kennedy wrote an interesting piece
about development for the Associated Press
recently. Here are some of the ideas she found in
Central Florida.
“ORLANDO, Fla. -- Leaders in burgeoning
central Florida are crossing municipal lines to
prevent what they see down the road: sprawl,
overcrowded schools, traffic congestion, a shortage
of affordable housing and few recreational
areas.
Their answer, still in the works, is a growth
blueprint for the next 50 years, with the hope
that the area’s seven counties and 86 cities will
follow its pattern.
It is the nation’s latest metropolitan area to
bring together a host of different governments -each
with their own concerns -- to work toward
one goal: manageable growth.
If central Florida continues to grow without
regional planning, residents can expect more air
pollution, a dwindling water supply, more
bumper-to-bumper traffic and less access to natural
recreation areas, according to a University
of Pennsylvania study on the region. Its population
is expected to double to 7 million by 2050.
Community leaders for the $850,000, statefunded
project -- “How Shall We Grow?” -haven’t
decided how to implement the plan,
expected to be ready in May 2007. They could
rely on enforced legislation, like Portland, Ore.,
or voluntary implementation, like Salt Lake
City.
Several other regions have replicated Utah’s
model, including Baltimore; Austin, Texas; and
Sacramento, Calif.
Like the other regions, central Florida will
have to find a way to balance urban and rural
needs.”
Can you imagine trying to get Sonoma,
Mendocino, Lake, Humboldt and say Del Norte
and/or Marin counties to agree to a development
plan?
The California Association of Employers, a
statewide organization specializing in human
resources and employer/employee relations
issues, sent out a press release following the
May 1 demonstrations by and for illegal immigrants
that 96 percent of businesses reported it
was ‘business as usual” regarding the impact of
the “A Day Without an Immigrant” boycotts in
California. The organization distributed a survey
to its nearly 500 member-businesses (small and
medium-sized) throughout the state and asked
them to offer insight into the ways they were
affected (or not affected) by the boycott and how
they handled employees participating in the
events.
According to them, although immigrants and
their supporters were encouraged by protest
organizers to take to the streets en masse, boycotting
work and school and avoiding shopping
to show support for immigrants and their contributions
to the state, 97 percent of businesses that
responded to CAE said they do not believe that
the immigration boycott caused a hardship to
their business. Ninety-four percent of businesses
reported that less than 10 percent of their
employees did not report to work due to the boycotts,
according to CAE's survey results.

Editor’s note: When you’re driving, biking or walking around in downtown Ukiah do you often look over at a storefront and say to yourself “Gee, I didn’t know that was there.” Well, so do we. So we thought we’d
start a kind of business census by photographing and identifying downtown businesses block by block, week to week, here on the Commerce Page. It's nothing fancy, just a quick look at what’s there. Of course it will
take us some time to go through State, School and Main streets and then up and down Perkins, Gobbi and other streets. And that's just within the city limits. But we figure, like painting the Golden Gate Bridge, when
we’re done, we’ll just have to start over. We hope you’ll enjoy discovering what’s out there.

Golden Gate Transit the
answer for local economy
To the Editor:
Millions of young people ride commuter
trains everyday in America. The
Bay area has one of the best commuter
train systems in the world and thousands
of young people use it on a daily basis.
Having commuter trains link Ukiah to
San Francisco would be one of the greatest
public works projects in Mendocino
County history.
Today we are stuck with a bus system
that is confusing to utilize. The routes
don’t make much sense and it is difficult
to tell which bus is going in which direction.
The route to Santa Rosa is not convenient
for those of us that have medical
appointments, or simply want to do some
shopping. Forget it if you are trying to
attend Santa Rosa Junior College or
Sonoma State University. Once you get
to Santa Rosa, you have a window of
four hours before the bus leaves to come
back. If what you are doing takes longer,
you have to spend the night. A one way
trip on the CC Rider costs as much a it
does to drive to Santa Rosa and back.
Seeing that Ukiah is a member of The
Golden Gate Bridge Highway and
Transit District, wouldn’t it make sense
to have Golden Gate Transit buses
extend their run to Ukiah?
Having an early morning bus that
leaves here and that gets to San
Francisco before 9 a.m. would be a great
help, and would lighten traffic congestion.
Extending the length of an already
existing run that leaves San Francisco
after 5 p.m. would also lessen traffic.
Golden Gate Transit currently ends their
runs in Santa Rosa. Extending their services
to Ukiah would finally allow us to
be an active member of a District we
helped found almost 70 years ago. We
have a publicly appointed (by the Board
of Supervisors) official on the District
Board, Jim Eddie. When was the last
time you heard about what our representative
is doing for us? And exactly what
benefits have we received for being apart
of the District?
If a bus route to and from San
Francisco were available, people that
live here and work in the Bay area would
be able to take the bus instead of driving.
This would help save commuters money,
and keep cars off 101, which would
lower the need for road repairs and help
lessen air pollution.
I would love to be able to go shopping
for things available locally. I would also
love to go to museums, theatrical productions,
and even attend a university,
while being able to live in the community
where I was born. We are forever
linked to the Bay area and we can greatly
benefit because of it. This type of bus
service would open up a whole new
world to the people of Ukiah. And no,
we would not have to lose our small
town identity.
Such a route would also allow people
from the Bay area to visit here on day
trips, just as people did 100 years ago
when passenger trains were running. We
could increase the number of people that
visit Ukiah. Having a bus, and eventually
trains, that link us to the Bay area
would also expand our ability to advertise
local events, such as plays and sporting
events. We would be able to regain
something that we lost when the trains
stopped running in the 1940s. People
from the Bay area would be able to get a
taste of country life without having to
move here. We would also increase our
tax base, which would help pay for public
safety.
It is true that Greyhound goes to San
Francisco, but their buses only leave
here twice a day, one of which is in the
middle of the night. It also costs around
$20 one way, and we could negotiate a
much lower fare with Golden Gate
Transit.
And forget about Amtrak. Their buses
only connect costumers to Amtrak trains,
not to other transit systems. On the East
Coast, Amtrak is one of the largest commuter
systems, but here in the West,
Amtrak is mainly used by people traveling
to the Center Valley and Southern
California. Amtrak is not a public transit
system.
It is time to get serious about how our
public transit serves us and make sure
that it is working at its best. We deserve
a public transit system that meets our
needs, is not confusing, and that links us
to our neighboring counties and San
Francisco. Our transit system has a long
way in meeting the needs of the people
of Ukiah. A Transit Center would go a
long way in helping us join the 21 st
Century and rejoin our neighbors to the
south. Having better service to San
Francisco would be an even greater
improvement.

The Watertown (N.Y.) Daily Times
On student aid and drug convictions
Federal education policy
has denied nearly 200,000 college-bound
students federal
financial aid because they had
prior drug convictions.
The Clinton-era law that
went unenforced until
President Bush took office
requires students to acknowledge
whether they have ever
been convicted of possession
or selling illegal drugs.
Students are asked on their
college-aid application about
drug convictions. They can be
declared ineligible for at least
a year for a single count of
possession with penalties
increasing to indefinite disqualification
for more than
one conviction.
Students for a Sensible
Drug Policy analyzed U.S.
Education Department data to
find that 189,000 applicants
had been refused federal aid
since the question was added
to application forms in the
2000-01 school year. The
numbers are a very small percentage
of the millions of students
who have applied and
obtained federal aid over the
years.
But release of the report
renews questions about the
wisdom of a policy that can
prevent men and women from
LETTER POLICY
obtaining a college education
for a single mistake made in
their youth.
Federal aid to pay for soaring
college expenses can
decide whether some applicants,
especially the poor, will
attend college - an avenue to
better their lives and maybe
those of their families.
The policy imposes a civil
penalty on top of the criminal
fines or even prison sentences
already served for their crime
without evidence that it is a
deterrent. Although a student
can regain eligibility by completing
a rehabilitation program
with random drug tests,
that is an unnecessary cost for
what can be a minor offense.
College officials and many
organizations want the provision
repealed. It is time for
Congress to do that.

Electronic tax returns
Filing taxes ahead of the

easier and cheaper for people
if the Internal Revenue
Service could accept individual

Congress, which wants four-

fifths of the nation's tax returns
to arrive electronically by next
year, ought to prod the IRS to
make arrangements.
The 80 percent target
makes sense. Just as with other
transactions, from paying bills
to payroll deposits, electronic
channels would make filing
returns faster and more efficient.
Americans have already
shown a strong preference for
electronic tax returns. Private
companies offer software
packages that accomplish the
task, and U.S. taxpayers have
been snapping them up like
prized toys in the holiday season.
Using tax software can get
pricey, however. Once you
complete your return, there
may be another fee to file it.
And perhaps another charge to
handle a refund.
Some in Congress and the
Bush administration resist
efforts to modernize the IRS
so it can accept individuals'
electronic filings. They don't
want the federal government
competing with the private
sector. ...
Tax returns are the domain
of the federal government, and
it's the government's responsibility
to streamline its operations
so they are as efficient as
possible. ...

American press
accused of espionage
The CIA’s firing of senior career officer Mary
McCarthy is a prelude to a much bigger story -- the
White House’s intensifying war on those parts of the
American press it accuses of aiding the enemy.
Testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee in
February, CIA Director Porter Goss expressed his
ardent hope that “we will witness a grand-jury investigation
-- with reporters present being asked to reveal
who is leaking” information about CIA’s classified
material.
The charge against McCarthy, which she denies, is
that she was a source of highly classified information
for Dana Priest’s Washington Post report on CIA secret
prisons in Eastern Europe. Priest, a 2006 winner of a
Pulitzer award for the story, has been writing about the
CIA’s “black sites” since late 2002; and Pat Roberts,
chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, continually
refuses to authorize an investigation of the
CIA’s violations of American and international laws in
its prisons wholly hidden from our rule of law.
Priest is already subject to a Justice Department
investigation, as are New York Times reporters James
Risen and Eric Lichtblau for their disclosure of the
president’s secret approval of the National Security
Agency’s warrantless surveillance of Americans.
(Those reporters have also received Pulitzers this year,
despite the president’s characterization of their reporting
as “shameful.”)
The administration’s position has been clearly stated
by FBI spokesman Bill Carter (Washington Post,
April 19): “Under the law, no private person (including
journalists) may possess classified documents that
were illegally provided to them. These documents
remain the property of the government.”
The law Carter cited is this administration’s expansion
of the Espionage Act of 1917, which is now
before the courts in a case that can greatly diminish the
First Amendment rights of the press -- and the right of
Americans to receive information about such lawless
government practices as the CIA’s secret interrogation
centers and the president’s violation of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act in unleashing the
National Security Agency.
This espionage case -- United States of America v.
Lawrence Anthony Franklin, Steven J. Rosen, Keith
Weissman -- is the first in which the federal government
is charging violations of the Espionage Act by
American citizens -- who are not government officials
-- for being involved in what until now have been
regarded as First Amendment-protected activities
engaged in by hundreds of American journalists.
Rosen and Weissman, former staff members of the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) -who
have since been fired -- are accused of receiving
classified information from Defense Department analyst
Franklin regarding U.S. government Middle East
and terrorism strategy. Rosen and Weissman are
charged with then providing that classified information
to an Israeli diplomat -- and a journalist.
Government official Franklin has pleaded guilty
and been sentenced to prison. But defense attorneys
for Rosen and Weissman declare: “Never (until now)
has a lobbyist, reporter or any other nongovernment
employee been charged ... for receiving oral information
the government alleges to be national-defense
material as part of that (accused) person’s normal First
Amendment-protected activities.”
In an amicus brief to the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia, the Reporters Committee
for the Freedom of the Press (with which I am affiliated)
says:
“These charges potentially eviscerate the primary
function of journalism -- to gather and publicize information
of public concern -- particularly where the
most valuable information to the public is information
that the government wants to conceal” so that the public
cannot “participate in and serve as a check on the
government.” (That’s why the First Amendment’s
freedom of the press was added to the Constitution in
1792.)
But the judge now hearing this espionage case, T.S.
Ellis III, already said in March: “Persons who come
into unauthorized possession of classified information
must abide by the law. That applies to academics,
lawyers, journalists, professors, whatever.” Recently,
the judge appears to be backing off.
However he decides, and it’s uncertain, as Steven
Aftergood -- head of the Project on Government
Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists says
-- “To make a crime of the kind of conversations
Rosen and Weissman had with Franklin over lunch
would not be surprising in the People’s Republic of
China. But it’s utterly foreign to the American political
system.” (This censorship of the press was cut out of
the Espionage Act of 1917.)
If the Supreme Court agrees with the Bush administration
on this case, we will, as Aftergood says, have
to build many more jails -- and disarm the First
Amendment.

November, in two versions
aimed at keeping the company’s
dominance in gaming.
The PS3 will launch Nov.

Europe, Sony officials said
Monday night at a news conference.
There will be two versions:
one sporting a 20 gigabyte

“We’re really trying to
push what this machine is
capable of,” said Phil
Harrison, president of Sony

Dell cuts quarterly
sales, income outlook
due to lower prices
By MAY WONG
AP Technology Writer
SAN JOSE -- Amid stiffening
competition, computer
maker Dell Inc. said Monday
its fiscal first-quarter results
will miss earnings targets,
blaming the shortfall on “pricing
decisions.”
The news sent Dell shares
falling nearly 6 percent to a
52-week low.
The Round Rock, Texasbased
company said it expects
to earn 33 cents per share on
revenue of about $14.2 billion,
compared with analysts’
average estimate of 38 cents
per share on revenue of
$14.52 billion.
Dell, which sells computers
directly to consumers and is
the world’s largest PC maker,
previously forecast a profit
ranging from 36 cents to 38
cents per share, including
stock-option costs of 3 cents,
on revenue of $14.2 billion to
$14.6 billion.
Dell said the shortfall from
the previous guidance stems
primarily from pricing decisions
in the second half of the
quarter that the company
expects will accelerate revenue
growth in the future.
During the quarter, Dell
Commerce

aggressively discounted some
of its products as it lost
ground to rivals.
In a statement, Dell CEO
Kevin Rollins said the company
had been “making investments
in our support infrastructure
and product quality”
and slashing prices.
Company officials declined
to comment further. Dell will
report first-quarter earnings
on May 18.
Stamford, Conn.-based
market researcher Gartner
Inc. said Dell saw its share of
industry computer shipments
decline to 16.5 percent in the
first quarter of 2006 from 16.9
percent a year ago. Though
Dell shipped 10.2 percent
more PCs than it did in last
year’s first quarter, Gartner
said the growth rate was
Dell’s slowest since the third
quarter of 2001.
“We’re experiencing a slow
down in the growth of the PC
market, and prices are coming
down,” said Samir Bhavnani,
a PC industry analyst with
market researcher Current
Analysis. “And PC makers,
with Dell especially as the
biggest one, are paying for
pricing decisions they made
months ago.”

This year’s E3 conference
comes with the industry in
financial turmoil as it transitions
from older systems to
the new consoles. Much of it
has been blamed on consumers’
desire to hold out for
the PS3 and Wii.
The period has been especially
brutal for key game
makers like Electronic Arts
Inc., which recently lost $16
million in its fiscal fourth
quarter. EA predicts video
game sales industrywide
would be flat to down 5 percent
in 2006.
According to market
research firm NPD Group,
overall video game sales

dropped 5 percent to $7 billion
in the United States last
year.
During last year’s E3, Sony
executives proudly showed
pretty video clips of supposed
PS3 games but very little in
the way of actual game play.
The same was true for the
Nintendo Wii and the Xbox
360.
Expect a more hands-on
approach this year, with attendees
finally getting a chance
to play games on the new systems,

president of the
Entertainment Software
Association, which organizes
E3. “You’ll be able to kick the

about specs. This is about performance,

Adelman out
Kings coach fired
after eight seasons
By GREG BEACHAM
The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO — Rick
Adelman made eight straight playoff
appearances in eight consecutive
winning seasons coaching the
Sacramento Kings. His teams won
two division titles while crafting
an exciting new image for one of
the NBA’s least lovable franchises.
And it wasn’t nearly enough to
save his job when the Kings’ owners
and executives looked at their
empty trophy case.
The Kings dismissed the most
successful coach in franchise history
Tuesday in a firing mostly
motivated by the club’s desire for
something better than the aboveaverage
results delivered by
Adelman, 14th on the NBA’s
career list with 752 coaching victories.
Geoff Petrie, the Kings’ president
of basketball operations,
wouldn’t give any clear-cut reasons
for the decision not to extend
Adelman’s contract, which expires
in September. But owners Joe and
Gavin Maloof, apparently dissatisfied
with Adelman for years, are
widely thought to be behind the
move.
Sacramento was eliminated
from the playoffs Friday by the
San Antonio Spurs, and the club
wasted no time removing the final
on-court link to the franchise’s
revitalization in 1999, when the
run of consecutive playoff appearances
began.
“I came to the conclusion that
continuing this way just wasn’t
feasible,” said Petrie, who also

Wildcats Dominate
Isaac Eckel/The Daily Journal
The Ukiah Wildcats congratulate the Elsie Allen Lobos following a 14-0 victory Tuesday afternoon.
The Wildcats looked dominant from the opening pitch, coasting to an easy win.
By RYAN GARNER
The Daily Journal
It was short, efficient, and difficult
to watch at times.
The Elsie Allen Lobos couldn’t
advance a runner past first base,
while the Ukiah Wildcats scored in
droves, coasting to a 14-0 victory
in five innings Tuesday afternoon.
“We had to grab a lead,” said
Ukiah coach Gary Venturi. “We
were able to get some hits after the
first inning and it turned out pretty
well for us.”
Lindsay Kiely pitched three
strong inning, striking out six of
the 11 batters she faced. Junior
Sarah Neustel entered the game in
the fourth, collecting four strikeouts
of her own in two innings of
work.
“We’ve got four seniors who
have played a lot and it was nice to
get them some rest,” said Venturi.
“We let Sarah throw a little and it
was good to see her get some work
in.” The Wildcats connected for
three consecutive infield singles in
the first inning, but nearly wasted
the golden opportunity, grounding
out and smoking a line drive to the
first baseman.
Mikaela Hyler stepped to the
plate with two outs and drove a fly
ball into center field. Elsie Allen
couldn’t come up with the catch,
allowing Kiely and Cristina
Gomez to score and giving the
Wildcats a 2-0 lead.
Katie Ott crushed a pitch to left
field in the second inning, driving
hired Adelman — his former
roommate from their playing days
— when both worked in Portland.
“The dynamic that needed to be
there to help it move forward just
wasn’t there.”
The Kings also declined to
renew the contracts of Adelman’s
four assistants: Elston Turner, T.R.
Dunn, Bubba Burrage and Pete
Carril, the Hall of Fame former
Princeton coach who spent nine of
the last 10 years as a Sacramento
in Allie Ortega. Nicki Taylor hit a
single two batters later and
Chelsea Meeker scored from second
base, building the lead to four
runs.
The Wildcats erupted for ten
runs in the third inning, nearly
going through the entire lineup
twice. Both Hyler and Sarah
Laughlin finished with two runs
scored and two RBIs in the winning
effort.
Ukiah takes to the field again
Thursday against Piner before a
doubleheader at home Saturday
against Piner and Healdsburg.
“Our home schedule wraps up
on Saturday and we have to win all
our games this week,” said
Venturi. “That will put us in really
good shape going into next week.”

Protecting
the source
SF Chronicle writers could
face more prison time than
BALCO dealers
By DAVID KRAVETS
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Five people linked
to the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative
were convicted of doling out steroids to elite
athletes. But in an ironic twist, two San
Francisco Chronicle writers who reported on
the probe could end up serving more jail
time than any of them.
Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada
are the latest reporters to become entangled
in the federal government’s ramped-up
efforts to investigate leaks. They have been
subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury
investigating who leaked them the secret testimony
of Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and
others.
The Chronicle, which published the testimony
in a series of stories beginning in late
2004, is challenging the subpoena, arguing
that the First Amendment protects the
reporters and their sources.
Both reporters say they aren’t going to
talk — which means they could be fined and
jailed until they divulge their sources, or
sentenced to a fixed term for contempt.
“Of course, we are going to stand up for
our sources and we would never betray
them,” Fainaru-Wada said.
A day in jail would be longer than the probation
sentences for BALCO vice president
James Valente and track coach Remi
Korchemny, who both pleaded guilty to distribution
charges.
BALCO president Victor Conte and Greg
Anderson — Bonds’ personal trainer — each
got four months in prison, while BALCO
supplier Patrick Arnold faces three months.
On the question of whether reporters are
shielded from revealing their sources, courts
have gone both ways.
In the 1972 case Branzburg v. Hayes, U.S.
Supreme Court Justice Byron White ruled
that reporters, like everyone else, must
“respond to relevant questions put to them in
the course of a valid grand jury investigation
or criminal trial.”
Over the years, though, Branzburg was
largely ignored. Judges more often sided
with Justice Lewis Powell, who wrote separately
in the same case. He urged the judiciary,
before ordering reporters to testify, to
balance the First Amendment rights of journalists
against the public’s right to know.
That changed in 2003, when the Chicago
Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune lost a bid to
protect their reporters from divulging
recordings of interviews of a witness in a ter-

Jays, 6-5
TORONTO (AP) — Bobby Crosby and
Adam Melhuse homered and Toronto starter
Josh Towers fell to 0-7 as the Oakland
Athletics beat the Blue Jays 6-5 on Tuesday
night.
Crosby and Melhuse homered in the
fourth off Towers, who has lost all seven of
his starts this season.
Towers’ ERA fell from 10.59 to 10.09
despite allowing three runs in four innings.
The right-hander won 13 games last season
and signed a two-year contract in the offseason,
but he has lost a career-worst seven
straight decisions.
He did rebound last season after losing six
straight decisions.
Oakland starter Dan Haren (2-3) looked
sharp, allowing three runs and six hits in 7 1-
3 innings. He struck out seven and walked
two.
Toronto put two runners on in the eighth,
but Kiko Calero struck out Shea Hillenbrand
on three pitches for the second out of the
inning.
Huston Street came on and got four outs
for his fifth save in six chances despite
allowing RBIs doubles to Reed Johnson and
Vernon Wells in the ninth. Troy Glaus
popped out to second base to end the game.
Towers looked sharp in the first three
innings before Crosby led off the fourth by
crushing a ball over the center field wall for
Oakland’s first run.
Towers later walked Jay Payton with two
outs in the inning before Melhuse hit a towering
homer to right center to give Oakland
a 3-0 lead.
Oakland added two unearned runs in the
sixth after Toronto third baseman Glaus’
fielding error allowed Oakland to load the
bases and Mark Kotsay followed with a two-

Kings’ bench from their courtside

poorly on the court.
When pressed on the reasons
for Adelman’s departure,
Petrie replied: “I’ve answered

Petrie plans to meet with

Kendall rips MLB after dropping suspension appeal
TORONTO (AP) — Oakland
Athletics catcher Jason Kendall ripped
Major League Baseball after dropping his
appeal of his four-game suspension on
Tuesday.
Kendall was suspended and fined for
charging Los Angeles Angels pitcher
John Lackey in a game on May 2.
“Major League Baseball has turned
into a badminton league. They told me I
didn’t have any shot of getting my suspension
knocked out,” Kendall said.
Kendall said his agent, general manager
Billy Beane and the players union told
him he probably wouldn’t have his suspension
reduced.
“The fact that they won’t knock anything
off is embarrassing to the game
because the game has changed. Now you
can’t really defend yourself. I understand
I have to be suspended, but it’s not like I
went out and picked a fight. Nothing
would have happened if he wouldn’t have

said anything to me, if he wouldn’t have
taken three steps hard at me,” Kendall
said.
Lackey threw a pitch to Kendall that
started out high and inside, then sharply
broke back toward the plate in the sixth
inning of Oakland’s 10-3 win. Kendall
backed out of the batter’s box, then suddenly
charged the mound after Lackey
said something about his elbow pad.
Kendall charged the mound and wrestled
Lackey to the ground, emptying both
dugouts and bullpens.
“I get called out by Lackey. He calls
me out and disrespects me and I’m supposed
to sit here and have him yell at me?
So basically what Major League Baseball
is saying is that any big league pitcher out
there can yell at somebody and get fined
$2,000. That’s what the fine was.”
Kendall said.
MLB’s latest disciplinary action
against Kendall comes after he received a

four-game suspension in August 2004
while with Pittsburgh for a similar scuffle
when he charged the mound in a game
against Colorado after being hit by nowteammate
Joe Kennedy.
The pitcher received a five-game suspension
for the incident.
“I think the big thing was this was my
fourth time, and all four of the fights I’ve
been into has been about sticking up for
myself or sticking up for my pitcher. I
guess they don’t look at that,” Kendall
said. “People that are making decisions
have never been in a situation like that.
They wait for situations like this to happen
so they can have this big power. And
that’s what they did. They have the power
right now.”
The 31-year-old Kendall, who played
150 games last year in his first season
with the A’s, entered Friday’s game batting
.244 with no home runs and seven
RBIs.

THIS MOTHER'S DAY, LET'S NOT DO BRUNCH
BY REBEKAH DENN
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Wondering where to take
your mom for a lovely
Mother's Day brunch?
Here's my dream place:
• A vase of fresh tulips
rests on the freshly
laundered tablecloth.
• The coffee is hot and
fresh, with cream and sugar
served in matching china.
• The oven timer rings,
signaling that the scones are
golden-brown.
• And Mom herself is
slipping on her bathrobe,
walking from the bedroom
to the kitchen so she can
open her cards after sleeping
in.
• That's my sincere and
professional advice. Stay
home for Mother's Day.
• Not that anyone listens.
It's the most popular day of
the year for dining out,
according to the National
Restaurant Association.

Which is why I avoid it.
Restaurants are jammed and
kitchens are slammed.
Servers are rushed. Those
nearly-four-out-of-10
Americans descending on
restaurants are expecting the
perfect experience, not
realizing that even perfect
restaurants tend to fall short
of their best on the busiest
day of the year.
• As well, some families
aren't at their best when
crowded together in a noisy
room, waiting for 10 orders
of eggs Benedict to arrive
simultaneously. It's like
expecting to have a great
time shopping together on
Christmas Eve.
"Tolstoy might have
revised his opinion about all
unhappy families being
unique had he ever worked
Mother's Day in a
restaurant," wrote former
server Debra Ginsberg in her
memoir, "Waiting: The True
Confessions of a Waitress."
Ginsberg called it "a day
feared, reviled and hated by
servers everywhere."
Brunch food is particularly
delicate and easy to ruin,
Ginsberg wrote, with few
kitchens able to handle
hundreds of egg orders at a
time. Tips tend to be bad.
Family dynamics take over
the tables, with grown kids
reverting to old behavior
patterns, taking their
irritations out on the servers
because they can't abuse
Mom on her special day.
We like the way Cooper
Mills, general manager at
Ivar's Acres of Clams, neatly
handles the celebration in
his own family:
"My mom finally
understands now that when
we go out for Mother's Day,
we don't do it on Mother's
Day. We do it a couple days
before or a couple days
after," Mills said.
15% OFF with this ad • Expires May 15, 06
If celebrating on the
official date, he added, "you
run into that half-hour, 45minute
wait. That's the
worst."
Need more disincentive?
Restaurants overbook on
Mother's Day.
Lobbies, which never are
big enough anyway, are
packed.
And kids aren't generally
at their best confined to a
hallway for extended
periods.
When Ivar's began offering
its own Mother's Day brunch
last year, Mills and his
colleagues took particular
care to avoid, or at least
minimize, those snares.
Ivar's banks on longer-thannormal
turnaround times,
allowing Mom to open gifts
or bask in the conversation,
he said, so the restaurant
provides a sizable cushion
for bookings rather than
counting on no-shows to

"We do good numbers as it
is," Mills said. "We could do
more, but you start getting
into 'At what cost?' People
waiting in the lobby a halfhour
after their
reservations?" Mills asked.
"We all have mothers."
Still on the fence about
whether to go? The decision
may be out of your hands.
"You have to be a planner,"
said Mary Davis, operations
manager at Salty's in
Seattle's Alki area, where the
phone lines lit up solid at 8
a.m. April 1 when the
restaurant began accepting
reservations for the holiday.
As of last week, the
restaurant was sold out for
large parties, though smaller
families can still give it a
try.

the usual Sunday feast -- and
Davis said it's down to a
science. The head chef
checks out the reservation
numbers in advance and
does the planning with the
rest of the cooking staff.
"On Easter we went
through 700 pounds of
Dungeness crab," said
Davis. "It's nuts."
Davis said it's actually
exciting to see all the
families coming in for such
a special day. But she knows
it's not for everyone.
"I think another option for
folks is to pick another day,"
she said. "Maybe pick the
following or preceding
Saturday or Sunday, and
honor their mother on a day
that's not traditionally
Mother's Day, but they can
make it their own."
And here's a final tip from
me: Should you pick an
alternate date, avoid Feb. 14.
It's taken.

Don’t walk into a
care contract blind
Last week, we wrote about
the adult daughter (of a
Parkinson’s stricken father
and elderly mother) who
wanted to know what we
thought about personal-care
contracts. These are agreements
between an elderly person
and one or more individuals
who, in return for a lumpsum
payment, promise to
deliver enumerated services to
the elderly person for the rest
of the senior’s life.
As noted last week
(www.nextsteps.net), there
are downsides to both the
elderly person -- for example,
the caregiver could take the
money and fail to perform the
services -- and the caregiver,
who will be assessed significant
income taxes because the
lump payment is for services.
Probably the greatest
potential benefit to the elderly
person is that, with a higher
level of privately paid care,
the chances of being able to
remain at home for longer
periods of time improve. And
the longer the senior can
remain outside the nursing
home, the better. But if circumstances
require that the
senior enter a facility, the
caregiver should be able to
provide personalized care on a
regular basis that may well
improve the resident’s quality
of life.
After studying the pros and
cons, we believe these contracts
should be entered into
only after the senior is fully
informed and understands all
the risks. If entered, personal
care contracts should be prepared
by experienced attorneys
and should include provisions
calling for specific
services to be made available
on an "as-needed" basis.
These services can include,
but are certainly not limited
to, (1) supervising the senior’s
state of health and safety,
which includes dealing with
the health care providers; (2)
providing for the senior’s
physical, social and related
maintenance; (3) assuring that
necessary equipment is purchased,
operable and repaired
when necessary; (4) planning
for and providing socialization
with others whom the
senior enjoys; (5) arranging
for or cooking meals; and
even (6) paying bills based on
the trust relationship between
senior and care provider.
Using governmental lifeexpectancy
tables based on
Next steps
By Jan Warner and Jan Collins
the age of the contracting
senior, knowledgeable attorneys
and certified public
accountants can compute the
fair market value of the services
to be provided over the
senior’s lifetime to arrive at
the amount the senior will
pay. Properly prepared, this
contract should be considered
to be a payment by the senior
for the value of services, and,
therefore, shouldn’t be considered
a gift or gratuitous
transfer for less than fair market
value, which would cause
a period of disqualification for
Medicaid purposes. But
explanation of the concept to
state regulators can be difficult.
Because these types of contracts
are far-reaching and
important, a trust relationship
must exist between the senior
and caregiver(s). Additionally,
as many safety precautions as
possible should be built into
the contract due to the likelihood
of potential financial or
other harm to the senior.
Remember: in return for a
promise to provide care for
the rest of the senior’s life, the
senior is contributing a rather
significant amount of money
that may all be lost.
While personal-care contracts
may be useful to some,
due to the risk of loss of
assets, tax consequences that
may crop up if the senior sells
appreciated assets in order to
pay the caregiver, and other
downsides, we believe that
these arrangements should be
used sparingly, if at all.

Dear Annie: I am a 21-year-old mother-tobe,
and my husband and I are currently separated
by our duty stations in the military, and
will be until July.
With the impending childbirth this fall, my
husband has been acting out of his box, so to
speak. He says he’s been thinking a lot, and
he’s not sure of our marriage or if he can honestly
say “I love you” to me. He also says he
misses me, but at the same time he’s loving the
fact that he has time to party and be free.
Most people tell me that he’s just trying to
squeeze all of this “single life” in before he
comes home, and that things will change once
he is with me again. But I’m worried, and I’m
also emotional. I do not want to become a
divorcee at the age of 21.
Do you think my husband’s “deep thinking”
is being triggered by the anxiety and distance?
Or do you think there is an underlying problem
he isn’t telling me? I worry about him being
with other women and doing things he should
not be doing. -- Mama Wears Combat Boots
Dear Mama: We think it’s the separation
that is causing your husband to question his
marriage. Long-distance relationships are difficult
under any circumstances. This doesn’t
mean things will fall into place when he returns
home. You will have plenty of work to do to
reestablish your commitment. The military
provides counseling services. Even if your husband
will not take advantage of them, you
should. Also, look into support networks, such
as militaryspousesupport.net. Good luck.
Dear Annie: I have never written you
before, but I’m really worried about my daughter
and her family. She and my son-in-law have

Yesterday’s
a beautiful home and three lovely children, but
their house is a fire hazard. I used to go over
there and clean like crazy, thinking they would
keep it up after I left, but it didn’t happen.
I’m not talking about minor cleanliness. My
husband refuses to step inside, let alone spend
the night, and other family members feel the
same. There is stuff stacked nearly to the ceiling
in all the rooms and the garage. Half the
time the kids can’t even sleep in their own beds
because of all the junk.
Both parents work, even though our daughter
doesn’t have to. I think it’s her way of
avoiding cleaning. I’ve tried talking to her, but
she gets mad and screams at me, and then the
grandchildren get upset. We’ve told her we
won’t visit if she doesn’t get some cleaning
help. We are so worried the house is going to
catch fire and they will all burn up. -- Help Us

learn how to control her need to collect and

Compulsive Foundation (ocfoundation.org),

Dear Annie: This is in response to
“Working Mom in Wisconsin,” who often
comes home to find her neighbor and the
neighbor’s children using her backyard play
equipment.
I work in the insurance industry, and it’s
possible “Wisconsin” would be liable for any
accident that occurs on this equipment when
she is not there. Perhaps she and her neighbor
could work together to establish a community
playground that all the children can use safely.

neighbor not to occupy the backyard when the
owner is absent.

In the year ahead, you
are likely to do far better in
ventures or undertakings
where you can express your
individualism than you will
in arrangements that must
be shared with partners. Try
to be your own person.
TAURUS (April 20-May
ASTROGRAPH
By Bernice Bede Osol
20) — If you and someone
important to you have a
major disagreement, do all
you can to resolve it.
Anything that goes unresolved
at this time could be
a thorn in your side forever
more.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) — Do not lock yourself
into any promises, especially
if you don’t know
whether you have the ability
to fulfill them. You’ll be
held accountable for another
person’s responsibility.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) — If you expect someone
you recently helped to
return the favor, you may be
severely disappointed.
You’re not likely to handle
his/her excuses; lower your
expectations.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
— Be on guard concerning
your work or career. Don’t
be drawn into a competitive
situation where the odds are
stacked against you going
in. You can’t win.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) — Be very careful to
think before you speak, so
as not to come off as cocksure.
If it turns out you’re
wrong, and it’s likely it
will, you’ll be in an embarrassing
position.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) — Make certain you
have all the facts and know
exactly what you’re getting
into before making any
financial investments. It’s
the overlooked details
that’ll get you in big trouble.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) — What’s not in your
head, you better have in
your feet. If you don’t think
things through, lots of
retraced steps will have to
be taken before you rush off
in haste.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) — You’re apt
to be careless because you
think the little things are
beneath your concerns. The
whole may be more than the
parts, but, nevertheless, the
parts determine the whole.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) — We are judged
by the impression we make
on others. So if you aren’t
flexible enough to adjust
your opinions to accommodate
the views of others,
you’ll come off as smug
and self-righteous.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 19) — Guard against
being too cynical or too
critical of the world around
you, which could lead to
taking things out on innocent
bystanders. If something

Briefly
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the European
Union would take the lead in the new effort. The United Nations
and Russia, the other partners in the Quartet peacemaking group
along with the U.S., also endorsed the program.
“The thrust of this is the international community is still trying
to respond to the needs of the Palestinian people,” Rice said.
The U.S. and European Union have cut off much of the aid
that had flowed in the past to Palestinian programs to prevent
any of it from helping Hamas, the militant Islamic group that
has conducted numerous terrorist attacks.
Rising number of schools face penalties
WASHINGTON (AP) — Falling short of requirements under
President Bush’s education law, about 1,750 U.S. schools have
been ordered into radical “restructuring,” subject to mass firings,
closure, state takeover or other moves aimed at wiping
their slates clean.
Many are finding resolutions short of such drastic measures.
But there is growing concern that the number of schools in serious
trouble under the No Child Left Behind law is rising sharply
— up 44 percent over the past year alone — and is expected to
swell by thousands in the next few years.
Schools make the list by falling short in math or reading for
at least five straight years.
In perspective, the total amounts to 3 percent of roughly
53,000 schools that get federal poverty aid and face penalties
under the No Child Left Behind law.
“It’s just a matter of time before we see upwards of 10,000
schools in restructuring,” said Michael Petrilli, a former
enforcement official at the Education Department.

Kirkpatrick said.
Later that same year, Mike
Distefano was hired to do the
job. However, when he left
the county in January to take
another position, the school
board asked Kirkpatrick and
Paulin to come back until a
permanent replacement could
be found.
Referring to himself and
Paulin as “two retired old
guys,” Kirkpatrick said of the
job: “It’s been fun; it’s been a
challenge ... It’s a good district;
it has a lot going for it. It
has great potential. I think it
will become a small pilot district.”
Barr and his wife recently
moved to Ukiah. They have

Most with fungus used Bausch & Lomb
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Nearly two-thirds of contactlens
wearers who contracted a potentially blinding fungal eye
infection reported using Bausch & Lomb Inc.’s newest lens
cleaner, health authorities said Tuesday.
The eye-care products maker halted U.S. sales of its ReNu
with MoistureLoc solution on April 10 after the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention said it was investigating an outbreak
of Fusarium keratitis infections in Americans using the
product.
The number of confirmed cases of the rare fungal infection
has edged up to 106 in recent days, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention said, but it reiterated that the origin
remains a mystery. “It’s still too early to say what’s causing” the
outbreak, CDC spokeswoman Christine Pearson said.
The CDC has verified that 93 out of 98 confirmed cases for
which it has complete data involved contact lens users. Of
those, 59 patients, or 63 percent, reported using MoistureLoc
and 19 others, or 20 percent, said they used an older and more
widely used Bausch & Lomb solution called ReNu MultiPlus.
Nine patients reported using an unspecified ReNu product,
and seven said they used cleaners made by Alcon Inc. and
Advanced Medical Optics Inc., the CDC said. In some cases,
patients reported using more than one type of lens cleaner.
Trainer says Blaine had convulsions
NEW YORK (AP) — David Blaine was unconscious and
having convulsions when he was rescued from his 8-foot aquarium
during a breath-holding stunt, his trainer said Tuesday.
“I wasn’t focused on records; I was thinking of a rescue,”
said trainer Kirk Krack, a free-diving expert. Blaine was convulsing
and “unconscious when we brought him to the surface.
If we hadn’t intervened, he would still be at the bottom of the
sphere doing a breath-hold.”
The 33-year-old illusionist had been submerged in the aquarium
with an oxygen mask for a week. Rescue divers jumped
co-director for Mendocino
County Inland Special
Olympics.
Tip-a-Cop is one of the
three big fund-raisers held by
the Special Olympics; the others
are a dance organized by
the Senior Center and a soup
cook-off.
Welch said the program is
always looking for more volunteers
and more athletes.

into the 2,000-gallon saltwater tank Monday night and hauled
him up.
He was rescued as he struggled to break a breath-holding
record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds. Blaine, who had spent some
177 hours underwater, went without air for 7 minutes, 8 seconds
as a finale to his endurance stunt at Lincoln Center, which was
televised live on ABC.
Blaine checked himself out of Roosevelt Hospital on
Tuesday. Friends took him out of the hospital in a wheelchair
and then helped him walk to a waiting car.
Dow closes up 55, Nasdaq down 7
NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street ended Tuesday mixed,
with an analyst’s upgrade of General Motors Corp. carrying the
Dow Jones industrials to a fresh six-year high and within reach
of its best-ever close. Dell Inc.’s profit warning put a dent in the
tech sector.
The Dow pressed toward its all-time closing high although
investors anxiously awaited the Federal Reserve’s next move on
interest rates when policymakers meet Wednesday. Many on
Wall Street are hoping the Fed will signal that an end to its rate
tightening is near.
But analysts say the Dow is poised to break its record and
could push higher. Ken Tower, chief market strategist for
Schwab’s CyberTrader, said investors appeared increasingly
optimistic about the market, especially after stocks held onto
their sharp gains from the end of last week.
“People became much more bullish on Friday morning, and
the fact they didn’t sober up over the weekend is a very positive
sign for the market,” Tower said. “Of course, everything
depends on the Fed. But at least for the moment, you have to
look at the market in a positive light.”
Dell said its first-quarter sales and profit will miss prior estimates,
hurt by discounting as it fought to keep pace with competitors.
Meanwhile, solid April sales at McDonald’s Corp.
were helping the Dow’s advance and countering a rise in oil
prices.
