Youth Impact Program uses
excersise, positive thinking
By ZACK CINEK
The Daily Journal
For one month, eight
young adults wake up before
5 a.m. to run and practice
positive thinking at
Mendocino College as participants
in the first
Mendocino County Youth
Impact Program.
The eight that completed
the county’s first Impact
Program were honored at 11
a.m. this Saturday, Nov. 8, at
Mendocino College.
A pilot version of the
Youth Impact Program was a
joint effort between the
Mendocino County District
Attorney’s Office and the
Mendocino County
Probation Department.
Mendocino County
District Attorney Meredith
Lintott said the program is
very dependent on probation
officers finding the time to
do it.
Deputy probation officer
Jack Wann Jr. is one of two
officers who rise early and
work with the participants,
who range in age from 14 to
18 years old. One of the
goals of the program is to
give them the tools to get off
probation and to stay off
probation, Wann said.
“When one is down, it is
our job to pick them up,”
Wann said. “We don’t dwell
on any of the negative
stuff.” Wann said that during
talks and exercise in the
early morning himself, his
sidekick parole officer Jorge
Leon and the eight young
adults have seen shooting
stars and a hawk in the early
hours.
About one year ago, Greg
Sager, a Mendocino County
Jack Wann Jr, left, and Jorge Leon, juvenile probation officers and impact instructors,
talk about the success the program has had and read portions of essays the
boys wrote for the program during Saturdays awards ceremony. “Our definition of
character is what you do when no one is looking,” Wann recounted as one of the
program mottos.
deputy district attorney, was
at a national district attorney’s
conference when he
realized that Napa’s program
could work here.
The idea of something
like Napa’s Impact program
was appealing to him.
“That looked like something
I could steal and
copy,” Sager said.
Impact program partici-
pants are paired with good
role models, he said. “Young
people feel good when they
succeed physically.”
The chief probation officer
at the probation department
is Wes Forman. Last
week when it was raining,
Forman said he came out to
run with the youth who are
supervised by probation officers.

Forman said that despite
the rain, the group was not
deterred from running three
miles. “They were just as
excited as any day.”
For the eight that have
passed the program, it has
not all been about getting a
good work out.

I have been working on a
theory for a while that everyone,
no matter how together
or in control they seem, suffers
from some form at least
low-grade mental illness.
What else would one call
the superstition that keeps us
from picking up pennies off
the ground that show a profile
of our 16th president and not
the reverse side which depicts
the memorial built in this
honor? (I know it’s just a
penny, but I’m never touching
any tails-up copper coins. It’s
just not worth it -- it’s bad
luck.)
Why else would we occasionally
talk to ourselves,
scream at inanimate objects
like computers when they fail
to comply with our demands
or tell our children that a giant
rabbit hides eggs around their
house to commemorate Jesus’
death?
On Tuesday, Californians
demanded that veal, egg-laying
hens and pregnant pigs be
confined only in ways that
allow these animals to lie
down, stand up, fully extend
their limbs and turn around
freely, but told its gay population
to kindly get the heck
back in the closet already.
(Never mind if they can’t
extend their arms or turn
around freely in there.)
Why? I’ll tell you why:
because we’re all insane.
This brings me to my love
for the 1998 movie “The Big
Lebowski.”
As anyone who has
engaged in a conversation
with me lasting more than six
minutes will attest, I relate to
the world through film.
I list anyone with whom
I’ve spoken as witnesses to
this fact because, whether
they realize it or not, I’m usually
looking for a way to
insert a quote from a movie in
our conversation, and more

often than not, it’s
“Lebowski” in origin. (I think
if I were labeled as autistic
this would be listed as just
another one of my “symptoms.”)
This is the part of the column
where I would usually
try to explain the plot of the
movie so you could get a better
idea of what I’m talking
about. I’m sorry for those of
who have seen it, but there’s
just no way for me to fully
describe the plot to you. It
involves two guys named
Lebowski, one of which has
his rug “micturated upon”
when thugs mistake one for
the other, inciting hilarity for
the next 117 minutes.
The story is so hard to
describe because it takes its
format from such Raymond
Chandler detective novels as
“The Big Sleep,” another plot
so filled with twists that
screenwriters William
Faulkner and Leigh Brackett
were forced to call the author
during scripting because they
couldn’t figure out from the
book who the murderer was.

Transition chief: Barack Obama
to use executive orders to make
immediate stamp on presidency
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President-elect Obama plans to use
his executive powers to make an immediate impact when he
takes office, perhaps reversing Bush administration policies on
stem cell research and domestic drilling for oil and natural gas.
John Podesta, Obama’s transition chief, said Sunday Obama
is reviewing President Bush’s executive orders on those issues
and others as he works to undo policies enacted during eight
years of Republican rule. He said the president can use such
orders to move quickly on his own.
“There’s a lot that the president can do using his executive
authority without waiting for congressional action, and I think
we’ll see the president do that,” Podesta said. “I think that he
feels like he has a real mandate for change. We need to get off
the course that the Bush administration has set.”
Podesta also said Obama is working to build a diverse
Cabinet. That includes reaching out to Republicans and independents
-- part of the broad coalition that supported Obama
during the race against Republican John McCain. Defense
Secretary Robert Gates has been mentioned as a possible
holdover.
“He’s not even a Republican,” Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid of Nevada said. “Why wouldn’t we want to keep him?
He’s never been a registered Republican.”
Russian nuclear submarine
accident suffocates 20 people
and sends 21 others to hospital
MOSCOW (AP) -- The fire safety system on a brand-new
Russian nuclear submarine accidentally turned on as the sub
was being tested in the Sea of Japan, spewing a gas that suffocated
20 people and sent 21 others to the hospital, officials said
Sunday.
The Russian Navy said the submarine itself was not damaged
in Saturday’s accident and returned to its base on Russia’s
Pacific coast under its own power Sunday. The accident also did
not pose any radiation danger, the navy said.
Yet it was Russia’s worst naval accident since torpedo explosions
sank another nuclear-powered submarine, the Kursk, in
the Barents Sea in 2000, killing all 118 seamen aboard.
Overcrowding may have been a significant factor on
Saturday.
The submarine being tested had 208 people aboard, including
81 seamen, according to Russian navy spokesman Capt.
Igor Dygalo. Yet Russian news agencies said a sub of this type
normally carries only a crew of 73.
Scattered suicide, roadside
bombings across Iraq kill
at least 8 people, wound dozens more
BAGHDAD (AP) -- Bombs killed at least eight people
Sunday across Iraq and wounded dozens of others, officials
said. Syria’s president blamed the U.S. military presence for
Iraq’s instability and called on U.S. troops to leave.
In the northern city of Mosul, a roadside bomb ripped
through an Iraqi army patrol soon after sundown, killing three
soldiers and wounding four others, police said.
U.S. and Iraqi troops have been fighting for months to clear
al-Qaida in Iraq and about a dozen other Sunni insurgent groups
from Mosul, Iraq’s third largest city.
To the south, a bomb attached to a bike wrapped in a trash
bag exploded outside a cafe in Khalis, 50 miles (80 kilometers)
north of Baghdad, killing at least two people and wounding 13,
including the city mayor, police said.
The cafe is located in a market area that includes a public
health clinic and the precise target was unclear. Khalis is a
mostly Shiite town surrounded by Sunni communities and was
a hotbed of Sunni-Shiite fighting in 2006 and 2007.
Tight-knit Ariz. community
rallies around family of
8-year-old boy accused of killing father
ST. JOHNS, Ariz. (AP) -- People in this small, tight-knit
community are reeling from the killing of a well-liked man
police say was shot by his own 8-year-old son, and they will
likely turn out in droves for his funeral.
“I don’t think this church is big enough to handle it all,” said
the Very Rev. John Paul Sauter of St. John the Baptist Catholic
Church.
Vincent Romero, 29, and Timothy Romans, 39, a co-worker
who also rented a room from him, were found dead inside
Romero’s home -- one at the entrance and one in an upstairs
room. Police charged Romero’s son with two counts of premeditated
murder.
“The recent tragedy in our community has been very sad, an
incident that makes us ask ’Why?’ yet pulls our citizens together
with love and support,” said Ross Overson, mayor of the

Daughters’ transition, plight
of working moms seem certain
to keep Michelle Obama busy
WASHINGTON (AP) -- She’s been compared to Jacqueline
Kennedy, is every bit as high-powered as Hillary Rodham
Clinton was and has praised Laura Bush’s calm and rational
approach to issues.
So what kind of first lady will Michelle Obama be?
It may be too soon to know -- she’s probably still trying to
figure it all out herself. This much is certain: She will be the
kind of first lady this country hasn’t seen in decades: the mother
of young children.
But Barack Obama has portrayed his wife as one of his top
advisers and it’s a safe bet she will continue in that role at the
White House, as first ladies before her have done. He has
described her as the family’s “rock” and told Newsweek magazine
she had “veto power” over his decision to run for president.
Aides say publicly she is not interested in shaping policy or
reserving a seat for herself at her husband’s decision-making
table. She prefers, at least for now, to focus on easing the transition
for Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7 -- getting them in new
schools, settled and comfortable with a new way of life.
Stars in the sea: Census of marine life
delights scientists with new wonders
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A city of brittle stars off the coast of
New Zealand, an Antarctic expressway where octopuses ride
along in a flow of extra salty water and a carpet of tiny crustaceans
on the Gulf of Mexico sea floor are among the wonders
discovered by researchers compiling a massive census of
marine life.
“We are still making discoveries,” but researchers also are
busy assembling data already collected into the big picture of
life in the oceans, senior scientist Ron O’Dor said.
The fourth update of the census was released Sunday ahead
of a meeting of hundreds of researchers that begins Tuesday in
Valencia, Spain. More than 2,000 scientists from 82 nations are
taking part in the project, which is to be completed in 2010.
A discovery that delights O’Dor is that many deep-ocean
octopuses share an Antarctic origin. As the Antarctic got colder,
ice increased and octopuses were forced into deeper water, he
said in a telephone interview.
Salt and oxygen are concentrated in the deeper waters, he
said. This dense water then flows out, carrying along the octopuses
that have adapted to the new conditions, enabling them to
spread to deep waters around the world.
Investors await earnings
from Wal-Mart, retail sales
reports for insight into economy
NEW YORK (AP) -- Wall Street heads into another turbulent
week with investors set to pore over a government report on
retail sales and earnings from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to get a better
reading on the consumer.
There are growing signs that the deepening economic slowdown
has caused Americans to tighten their purse strings. There
was fresh evidence of this past week when retailers posted the
worst October same-store sales in 35 years -- and analysts
believe the upcoming holiday shopping season could be among
the slowest in decades.
With consumer spending driving more than two-thirds of the
U.S. economy, investors will be paying close attention to earnings
outlooks for some of the nation’s biggest retailers. Wal-
Mart, the nation’s biggest retail chain, will post results on
Thursday. Kohl’s Corp., JCPenney Co., Macy’s Inc., and
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. are scheduled to release reports as
well.
Investors will get an overall picture of consumer spending on
Friday when the Commerce Department releases its October
retail sales index. The closely watched gauge is expected to
show sales dropping 1.2 percent for the month after falling 1.2
percent in September. Excluding the battered automobile industry,
sales are expected to have fallen 0.9 percent.
The market, still trying to recover from October’s devastat-

Box office goes wild for ’Madagascar’
as animated sequel roars
with $63.5 million weekend
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Families herded into movie theaters
for another trek with stranded zoo animals as the animated
sequel “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa” led the weekend with a
$63.5 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The haul for the DreamWorks Animation comedy far surpassed
the $47.2 million debut for “Madagascar” over
Memorial Day weekend in 2005. Its three-day total also beat the
$61 million gross the first movie took in over that full four-day
holiday weekend.
“It just shows people seem happy to escape to the movies and
have a good laugh,” said Anne Globe, head of marketing for
DreamWorks Animation.
While parents with children were the bulk of the audience,
“Madagascar” also drew teens and adults on their own, who
made up half the audience on Friday and one-third on Saturday,
Globe said.
Premiering in second place with $19.3 million was the
Universal Pictures comedy “Role Models,” starring Seann
William Scott and Paul Rudd as immature adults sentenced to
community service as mentors for two misfit youths.
With perfect ’Bama and Tech up top,
Texas, Florida and Oklahoma lurking
NEW YORK (AP) -- Alabama and Texas Tech and their perfect
records were on top of the BCS standings Sunday. Texas,
Florida and Oklahoma, all with one loss, are lurking and ready
to take advantage if the front-runners fall.
Penn State’s loss to Iowa on Saturday left the Crimson Tide
and Red Raiders as the only unbeaten teams in the BCS conferences.
So sorting out the all-important first two places in the
BCS standings was easy this week.
First-place Alabama (.981) was No. 1 in both the Harris and
USA Today coaches’ polls. Second-place Texas Tech (.972) was
a solid second in both polls and first in the computer rankings.
The computers have Alabama No. 2.
Texas (.879) was third, followed closely by Florida (.864)
and Oklahoma (.844).
Patriots beat Bills 20-10
as Green-Ellis rushes for
career-high 105 yards and a touchdown
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Little-known BenJarvus
Green-Ellis gave the Patriots a boost in the tight AFC East race.
And he helped hand the free-falling Buffalo Bills a costly
loss.
The undrafted rookie from Mississippi rushed for a careerhigh
105 yards and scored a touchdown for the fourth straight
game and New England’s defense dominated in the second half
for a 20-10 win on Sunday.
Green-Ellis began the season on the practice squad but is the
Patriots’ top runner with Laurence Maroney on injured reserve
and Sammy Morris missing the last three games and LaMont
Jordan out for the last five.
“Wherever we are on the field, I just try to get it to the end
zone,” Green-Ellis said. “That’s my job every play.”
He capped a 19-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown with
1:57 left long after Matt Cassel rushed for a 13-yard touchdown
on the Patriots’ first series. Cassel, the steadily improving
replacement for Tom Brady, directed the offense with poise and
completed 23 of 34 passes for 234 yards.

Letters from our readers
Fairness Doctrine not fair
To the Editor:
May I offer some thoughts on the subject
of freedom to disagree via radio, TV,
Internet, newspapers, magazines, etc.,
without complicating the issue with discussion
of Constitutional freedoms....
Conservative free speech is under
attack. It’s that simple.....
The so-called “Fairness Doctrine” is
nothing more than high-sounding legislation
that would require radio and TV stations
to provide “equal time” to opposing
views every time a talk show host,
station guest, manager, et al, open their
mouths to speak the “truth” about what’s
going on in our nation’s capital, colleges,
business, immigration, religion, etc.
In other words, instead of allowing
privately financed stations to provide its
point of view, it would be required to
provide equal time to the other side. If
I’m listening to a station that I trust to
provide reliable news (and there aren’t
many these days) I will not appreciate a
opponent’s “questionable” presentation.
Particularly when the time is paid for by
the station.
The question is: Is the so-called
“Fairness Doctrine” really fair? The
Center for Individual Freedom has stated,
“Until the Federal Communications
Commission under President Ronald
Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine
in the late-1980s, liberals in government
deceptively used it for more than 35
years to harass and suppress conservative
voices in the media.”
In fact, Bill Ruder, President
Kennedy’s Assistant Secretary of
Commerce, was forthcoming and honest
when he said.... “Our massive strategy
was to use the Fairness Doctrine to challenge
and harass right-wing broadcasters
and hope the challenges would be so
costly to them that they would be inhibited
and decide it was too expensive to
continue. “
When Fox News’ Chris Wallace asked
Senator Dianne Feinstein: “So would
you revive the fairness doctrine?” she
replied: “Well, I’m looking at it, as a
matter of fact, Chris, because I think
there ought to be an opportunity to present
the other side. (Like under
Kennedy?) And unfortunately, talk radio
is overwhelmingly one way.“
A comment attributed to Senator
Norm Coleman, author of the
Broadcaster Freedom Act of 2007, “We
live in an age of satellite radio, of broadband,
of blogs, of Internet, of cable TV,
of broadcast TV. There is no limitation
on the ability of anyone from any political
persuasion to get their ideas set forth.
The public in the end will choose what
to listen to.“
Remember Air America, the Left’s
answer to conservative talk radio? After
a spell it declared bankruptcy; and Al
Franken, the Left’s answer to Rush
Limbaugh, jumped ship. Unable to succeed
in the free marketplace of ideas, the
non-conservatives want to force their
viewpoints on the American People.
In summer of ’07 the House of
Representatives voted 309-115 to pass an
amendment, sponsored by Rep. Mike
Pence (R-IN), the would prohibit the
Federal Communications Commission
from spending money to reinstitute the
so-called “Fairness Doctrine.”
But the issue is not dead. What do you
think will be early on the docket if both
houses and White House are of the same
party? My feeling is, that will be when
we will really need the talk show hosts
to rally the people to contact their legislators.
But then, why wait? When did our
major medias cover President Bush’s
proposed “sell out” of our independence
as a sovereign nation in favor of the
NAU (North American Union), Super
Highway from Mexico into Canada, toll
highways owned by foreign companies,
or judges using International Law in
U.S. courtrooms, to name a few?

Los Angeles Times
On President-elect
Barack Obama
... With victories in
Democratic strongholds and
historic Republican redoubts
-- Virginia, of all places --
Barack Obama can rightfully
assert a national mandate,
one he will need to confront
the difficulties ahead. As our
president, he must re-energize
a troubled nation,
reviled in much of the world,
unsteady and anxious at
home. The range of issues
that demand the next administration’s
attention is almost
limitless; the yearning of the
country for thoughtful, conscientious
leadership is nearly
palpable.
Before the election gives
way to the complexity of
governing, however, we
deserve to savor this
moment. The same nation
that within many of our lifetimes
sanctioned Jim Crow
has elected a black man to
the presidency of the United
States -- this, just 61 years
after Jackie Robinson lifted a
bat for the Brooklyn
Dodgers, 54 years after
Brown vs. Board of
Education integrated the
nation’s schools, 45 years
after the Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr. spoke to the country’s
conscience from
Washington’s National Mall.
Our history of racism is real
and painful, and it is far from
resolved. But our progress is
equally undeniable. ... The
satisfaction of Obama’s victory
resonates around the
world, stirring emotions in
Europe and Africa, in rich
nations and poor, just as it
stirs our national soul.
Obama will serve as president
not of a race or a region
but of a nation. He has
demonstrated admirable gifts
for leadership in his young
life and in this long campaign.
And as he assumes the
office that the electorate has
granted him, he has the
opportunity to be the leader
that our current president,
too often, has not been. ...

That, by itself, is stunning.
But the election ... of Obama
-- 47-year-old son of a
Kenyan father and a white
mother -- almost certainly
marks a transformation in
this country. His victory over
Sen. John McCain of
Arizona may well mark a
time when, at last, the festering
wounds of the 1960s and
the Vietnam War finally are
left in the past.
The so-called culture war
that President Nixon
launched the idea that conservatives
were “true”
Americans and liberals were
a gaggle of snobbish, socialist-leaning
eggheads was
used repeatedly to cudgel
Democrats and city-dwellers
and nonwhite or non-
Christian Americans.
This year, the Republican
Party tried again to divide us
into “real Americans” and
“Democrats.”
In Greensboro, McCain’s
running mate Sarah Palin
praised the “hard-working,
very patriotic, very pro-
America areas of this great
nation.” Republican U.S.
Rep. Robin Hayes told a
rally in Concord, “Liberals
hate real Americans that
work and accomplish and
achieve and believe in God.”

Hayes lost his seat in
Congress ... to Democrat
Larry Kissell. And McCain-
Palin lost, too.
Obama’s victory has -- we
fervently hope -- buried that
old division. Patriotism is not
the sole possession of the
Republican Party. Americans
come in all colors, hometowns
and political beliefs.
Obama won, not with a divisive
campaign, but by
appealing to the voters’ better
instincts: For unity, for an
end to partisanship, for
change. ...

Chronicle
On governor,
legislators need
to go for big reform
California, by itself, has
the world’s fifth largest
economy. Yet it’s also
dynamic and ever-changing.
Once-dominant factories and
assembly lines are giving
way to the likes of Google,
Facebook and stem cell labs,
which have risen from
nowhere in less than a
decade.
But an artifact of the past
remains: tax laws that are
choking state government.
Over the years, Sacramento
has cobbled together a feastor-famine
cash-collection
system - and right now, it’s
decidedly in its famine
phase. The present year’s
budget could be short $10
billion and counting.
What’s needed is a more
reliable and predictable system,
one that allows multiyear
planning instead the
11th hour budgets the state
now produces. New rules
should also reflect the reality
of a changed economy built
on research and technology,
not just manufacturing.

Greenhouse gas
plan might green
state economy
Vocal skeptics were out in force from the moment
California’s Air Resources Board released the newest
version of its plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by
15 percent before 2020.
“This plan closes California to business,” said Steve
Frank, former president of the California Republican
Assembly and a longtime doubter of global warming,
also often called climate change. “Costs and regulations
would make this a non-profit state -- operate here
and the state takes your profit. Freedom was nice,
while we had it.”
If Frank’s rhetoric sounds a little exaggerated, it is.
For one thing, at the same time Frank and fellow
skeptics were griping, some business interests were
calling the state’s plan, still being fine-tuned, a job producer
that might create hundreds of thousands of new
positions here for highly skilled workers.
It also could produce big profits for companies that
clean up their operations beyond the minimum requirements.
That’s because under a so-called “cap-andtrade”
system -- details not yet released -- companies
that put less carbon monoxide and other warming
emissions than permitted into the air could sell off their
surplus cleanliness to other firms with emissions above
the maximum pollution levels. Those maximum levels
would be reduced gradually each year, so that net pollution
should always be coming down.
One tricky item not yet fully resolved will be to prevent
operations that have never polluted much from
getting rich by selling pollution credits that don’t actually
produce any net cleanup.
At the same time, enthusiasts insist, jobs will be created
in solar and wind energy, other renewable energy
projects and numerous innovations designed to make
homes and buildings run more efficiently, from energysaving
appliances to new and better insulation.
“This is the breakout growth sector of the next generation,”
said David Roland-Holst, a UC Berkeley
agriculture professor and author of a study funded by
Next 10, a non-profit organization promoting “green”
business. Roland-Holst didn’t mention it, but today’s
scene in some ways resembles the recession of the late
1960s and early ‘70s, when California lost tens of
thousands of aerospace jobs as Douglas Aircraft and
other companies were bought up by out-of-state
defense contractors, only to see those jobs replaced -and
much more -- within a few years by hundreds of
thousands of jobs in the high technology sector.
Today’s recession sees many construction and related
jobs disappearing because home prices have
dropped and even property owners unaffected by the
ongoing financial crisis are delaying remodels, new
carpeting and appliances and other upgrades to their
houses and condominiums.
But housing demand in this state and the consumer
confidence that usually accompanies it must resume
sometime fairly soon, if only because population continues
to increase, even if the increase is slower than in
some past boom times. Much of the increase is due to
immigration, and if they’re anything like those who
arrived before them, today’s newcomers will only live
in crowded conditions for a limited time before they
begin trying to get into “starter” homes of their own. If
history means anything, that will restart the chain reaction
creating fresh demand on each rung of the housing
price ladder. The new homes to come will contain
more efficient heaters and air conditioners, more solar
electricity panels, more efficient water heaters and
myriad other new devices to help meet the standards
being set by the Air Resources Board under terms of
the 2006 law known as AB32.
So unlike those who lived through the recession,
today’s laid-off workers at least have some idea what
their new jobs might be and which kinds of skills they
might need to be successful.
The Next 10 report predicts the greening push will
produce at least 400,000 new jobs in the next decade,
boosting the state’s economy by as much as $76 billion.
Naysayers like Frank, of course, don’t believe this.
The California Manufacturers and Technology Assn.
and state Chamber of Commerce insist the coming
changes will drive business away rather than being an
economic stimulus plan, as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
called it in one of his rare disagreements with business
groups that fund most of his political operations.
Schwarzenegger has been wrong about a lot of
things, from his tactics in budget negotiations to his
fund-raising methods, but he’s probably correct this
time. For every California recession of the last century
has been followed by an economic boom, with new
industries taking the place of those that disappeared or
were reduced. This time, there’s at least a degree of
certainty about where some of those new jobs will
come.

Time for mushrooms
Bon Vivant
By Marilyn Campbell
If the mere mention of
portabella and porcini gets
you salivating, you’re in luck.
It is time for the Mendocino
County Wine and Mushroom
Festival.
Forests in Mendocino
County are home to more than
3,000 mushroom varieties,
and from October through
January, a plethora of wild
mushrooms can be found,
ranging from the more commonly
known black, white
and golden chanterelles to
meaty porcinis and earthy
morels.
Packed full of B vitamins
and essential minerals, mushrooms
are known for their delicate
taste and incredible versatility.
They are low in fat and
sodium and high in water and
fiber, making them a filling
and satisfying ingredient or
meal in their own right.
A handful of white button
mushrooms contain more useful
antioxidants than green
beans, tomatoes and carrots.

Sautéed mixed
mushrooms
with sage, butter
and parsley
3 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup polenta
3 teaspoons salt
1 stick butter
2 tablespoons roughly
chopped fresh sage leaves
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms,
quartered
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms,
stemmed and caps
quartered
1/4 pound chanterelle
mushrooms, wiped clean and
cut in 1/2
2 ounces porcini mushrooms,
stems trimmed and
sliced into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 teaspoon freshly
ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh
parsley leaves
In a 1-quart saucepan set
over high heat, add the water
and one tablespoon of oil and
bring to a boil.
While whisking, slowly
add the polenta to the boiling
water. Season the polenta with
two teaspoons of the salt and
lower the heat to a simmer.
Continue to cook the polenta,
partially covered and stirring
often, until creamy and tender,
about 20 to 25 minutes.
Add two tablespoons of the
butter to the polenta, stir to
combine, and cover.
Keep warm over very low
heat while you prepare the
mushrooms.
Set a large, 12-inch saute
pan over medium-high heat.
Add the remaining six tablespoons
of butter and the
remaining two tablespoons
olive oil to the pan.
Once the butter is melted,
add the sage and mushrooms
to the pan and cook until the
mushrooms are wilted and
most of the moisture has evaporated,
about 10 minutes.
Season with the remaining 1
teaspoon of salt and the pepper
and garnish with the parsley.

“What a great game!”
That was the final postgame
comment by
Mendocino Head Coach
Tom Gang, after his team
had defeated Feather River
College, Saturday afternoon,
at home, 30-27. He
could not have summed up
the game better. His team
had just won an incredibly
entertaining game that had
everything a football fan
could ask for, and more.
The game began under a
partially cloudy sky with a
threat of rain in the forecast.
A stiff breeze was blowing,
with potential to affect play.
The Golden Eagles came in
highly ranked in California
Community College football
polls, as high as No. 13
in one poll. However,
games are not won in polls,
but rather on the field of
play.
From the opening kickoff,
Mendocino gave an
indication that, at the very
least, they would not be easy
prey for the visiting Golden
Eagles. Eagle returner
David Bonotto (Gold
Beach, OR) brought the ball
all the way up field to the
Feather River 25-yard line
with a 58-yard return. Two
running plays by quarterback
Jacob Laudenslayer
(Modesto) advanced the ball
to the Golden Eagle 10-yard
line with a first down. After
an incomplete pass,
Laudenslayer connected
with running back Marcus
Cooley (Modesto) for a
touchdown. The PAT kick
by Mark Pederson (Ukiah)
was good, making the score
7-0 with only a minute and a
half off the clock in the first
quarter.
The ensuing kickoff by
Pederson was a short, onside
style kick to the Feather
River 47-yard line. The ball
was touched, but fumbled
by the receiving team, and
recovered by the Eagles.
Five consecutive running
plays, three by
Laudenslayer, and one each
by Cooley and RB Sterling
Jackson (Stone Mountain,
CA) advanced the ball down
to the Feather River 27-yard
line. On a third-and-2,
Laudenslayer passed to WR
Harry Desile (Miami, FL)
for 23-yards to the 4-yard
line. Three running plays
later, a third a 1-yard carry
by RB Joseph Ramos
(Windsor) into the end zone
produced Mendocino's second
touchdown of the game.
With 9:24 left in the first
quarter, Pederson’s kick
made the score 14-0.
The Golden Eagles hung
on to Pederson’s second
kickoff of the day, taking
over the ball at their 36-yard
line. They advanced the ball
to the Eagles 41-yard line,
where, on a third-and-seven,
a pass by quarterback Mike
Crumbaker was intercepted
by Eagle DB Daniel
Dieudonne (N. Miami, FL)
at the Mendocino 10-yard
line and returned to the 15.
The interception would be
only the first of three by
Dieudonne on the day.
Despite three penalties in
the drive totaling 25 yards,
the Eagles moved the ball
out to their own 30 after
seven plays. On the eighth
play, Laudenslayer found
Desile along the sideline.
He lofted a perfectly-thrown
pass, hitting Desile in stride,
resulting in a 70 yards
touchdown pass. Pederson’s
kick was again good, upping
the score to 21-0 in
Mendocino’s favor with
3:06 left in the first quarter.
The Eagle defense produced
a three-and-out on
Feather River’s next series
after the kickoff. The
Golden Eagle punt was
downed at the Mendocino
19-yard line with 58 seconds
left in the quarter.
Once again, mixing runs
and passes, the Eagles
moved the ball up field.
With the ball resting at the
Feather River 39-yard line,
Laudenslayer lofted another

MENDOCINO COLLEGE | FOOTBALL
Eagles defeat Feather River College 30-27
Sarah Baldik/ The Daily Journal
A Mendocino Eagle returner/ball carrier looks to gain yardage against the Feather River College Golden
Eagles, Saturday, at Mendocino College.The Eagles battled the Golden Eagles and the weather to come
away with an exciting 30-27 win.
perfectly-thrown pass down
to the Golden Eagle 10-yard
line. It looked like
Mendocino’s fourth score of
the day. But the ball went in
an out of the receivers hands
for an incompletion. The
drive stalled with another
incomplete pass. On fourthand-seven,
Laudenslayer, in
a deep set, mishandled the
snap, resulting in partially
blocked punt, recovered by
Feather River at their 44yard
line.
Finally getting their
vaunted running game
going, the Golden Eagles
drove down to the
Mendocino 20. But on a second-an-15,
the ball carrier
fumbled, recovered by
Eagle Brian Walters at the
Eagle 24-yard line, with
10:32 left in the second
quarter.
The Eagles’ subsequent
drive, aided by a rough-thepasser
penalty, saw them
move the ball to their 43,
where, on third-and-two, a
fumble by Sterling Jackson
was recovered by Feather
River at the Mendocino 41.
With 8:07 left in the second
quarter, the Golden
Eagles finally put together a
sustained drive of eight
plays, mostly runs, which
was capped by a 3-yard
touchdown run by RB Bryce
Neville. The PAT by Aaron
Byers was good, making the
score 21-7 with 4:45
remaining in the half.
Perhaps energized by
their offense finally producing
a score, the Golden
Eagle defense held the
Mendocino on their next
possession, forcing a punt
on fourth-and-four from the
Eagle 30. The punt was
downed on the Feather
River 41, where they started
their drive with 3:34 left in
the half.
On the first play from
scrimmage, Golden Eagle
running back, O’Brya
McFadden broke a 47-yard
run down to the Eagle 12.
Two plays later, Pendergrass
ran 11-yards for the score.
The point-after kick was
good by Byers, making the
score 21-14, Mendocino,
with 2:21 still left on the
clock.
Again the Feather River
defense forced an Eagle
three-and-out after the kick.
The punt by Jacob Newton
(Moses Lake, WA) was
downed at the Feather River
28, with 49 seconds left in
the half. A subsequent long
pass on second down was
intercepted by Dieudonne,
his second of the day, and
returned to the Mendocino
Eagle DB Danial Dieudonne had three interceptions
Saturday in the Eagles 30-27 win.
40. There, after three plays
netting seven yards, the half
ended, with the score still
21-14, Mendocino.
Feather River took the
second half kickoff and
began a drive at their own
46. They moved the ball to
the Mendocino 30, where,
on a first-and-ten, a
Crumbaker pass to the end
zone was intercepted, once
again, by Eagle DB
Dieudonne, his third of the
day. He returned the ball to
the Mendocino 20.
The Eagles reignited their
offense moving down the
field, mixing runs and passes.
With a second-and-two
at the Feather River 36-yard
line, Laudenslayer, threw a
strike to Ricky Roberts, Jr.
(Sacramento) on the sideline,
inside the 20, Roberts
taking the ball the rest of the
way for the score.
Pederson’s kick made the
score 28-14 with 9:31 left in
the third quarter.
After a short kick, giving
them possession at their
own 48-yard line, the
Golden Eagles responded
with an eight-play drive,
going almost exclusively
with the run. The drive was
capped by a two-yard run by
Crumbaker. The PAT was
good, making the score 28-
21 with 5:38 left in the third
quarter.
It was about this point in
the game that the sky began
to darken as a heavy bank of
storm clouds settled over the
area.
With day virtually turning
into night, the rain began
to fall--serious rain. With
no stadium lights and the
rain beginning to impact
playing conditions, both
teams began relying more
on their running games.
Battling the weather as
much as their opponents,
each team attempted two
drives in the late third quarter
and the first eleven minutes
of the fourth quarter.
The drives ended with punts
or the ball being turned over
on downs as was the case
with Feather River’s drive
ending with an unsuccessful
fourth-and-three run at their
45-yard with 4:18 remaining
in the game. It must be
noted that the last series of
that drive was stopped as
much, or more so, by the
determined play of the
Eagle defense, as it was by
the playing conditions.
Taking over on the 42yard
line, Laudenslayer
complete a 12-yard pass to
WR Rafael Valencia
(Ceres,CA) at the 30 for a
first down. Unable to
advance the ball on the first
three downs, Mendocino
called time out with 2:12
left in the game. When play
resumed, the offense set up
with Laudenslayer back in a
deep set, where he could
pass, run, or punt. An
attempted punt flew almost
directly toward the right
sideline. Before it went out
of bounds, Golden Eagle
player Frankie Causey
picked it up along the sideline,
at the Feather River 34yard
line, and took off running,
unbelievably, all the
way down the sideline for a
touchdown, making the
score 28-27 with 1:58 left
in the game.
Feather River called time
out, trying to decide
whether to go for the onepoint
conversion to tie the
game or the two-point conversion
to take the lead, and
perhaps win the game.
They decided to kick.
The ball was snapped,
placed down, and kicked. It
traveled only a foot or so,
because it was blocked by
Eagle Randy Fesser
(Vancouver, WA). Fesser
picked the ball up and ran it
all the way back for a 2point
defensive PAT, giving
the Eagles a 30-27 lead with
the game clock still at 1:58
left in the game.
Forced to kickoff,
Feather River had little
choice but to attempt an onside
kick, which they did,
successfully, recovering the
ball at their 48-yard line.
With 1:30 on the clock and
timeouts remaining, Feather
River called three running
plays which gave them a
third-and-two at the Eagle
31. Another run was good
for only one yard, leaving a
fourth-and-one with 41 seconds
on the clock. Feather
River called a time out. The
Eagle defense was rising to
the occasion. The game
would probably come down
to the next play.
The Golden Eagles lined
up in their running set. The
ball was given to RB Bryce
Neville (his fifth consecutive
carry). He drove into
the pile of struggling players
at the line of scrimmage,
needing only one yard for
the first down. It appeared
that was all he got, if that.
The ball was placed by the
referee. The chains were
brought out. It was either
going to be a first down by
an inch or two, or, shot by
the same distance. It was
short. The Eagle defense
had held. The ball turned
over to Mendocino on
downs. Feather River had
no timeouts left. The Eagle
offense needed only to
kneel down to run out the
remaining seconds off the
clock and claim a most
rewarding 30-27 victory.
Like Coach Gang said, it
was, indeed, a great game.

the Oregon wildfires and
Galveston Island floods, to
name just a few.
The first amateur was
Guglielmo Marconi, who successfully
spanned the Atlantic
Ocean in 1901 with Morse
Code messages. Code, the
first digital mode, is still alive
and well today, although no
longer required in testing by
the Federal Communications
Commission, which issues
licenses for the Amateur
Radio Service. Morse Code
cuts through wireless interference
when voice circuits are
unreadable. Digital radio is
changing that, as Amateurs
help develop new digital
mode communications.
The Food Bank will begin their annual Thanksgiving signups
on Monday, Nov. 10 during regular distribution hours, 9
a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sign ups will continue during each distribution
day, which are Mondays and Fridays, 9 a.m. until 2:30
p.m., and Wednesdays from 1 to 6:30 p.m. Those interested can
also sign up anytime Ukiah Community Center is open. Hours
for UCC are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to noon, and 1 to 5
p.m. The last day for sign-ups will be Wednesday, Nov. 26 at 5
p.m. Late sign-ups will not be accepted.
Low income individuals and families who are eligible may
sign up for one holiday food basket, for either Thanksgiving or
Christmas. When signing up, applicants must bring a photo I.D.
The maximum family size permitted is 8. The UCC asks that
applicants consider immediate family only.
The Food Bank will be handing out approximately 320
Thanksgiving baskets this year so space will be limited. They
recommend that applicants sign up early.
The food bank is putting out a special plea for help this year:
the state of the economy is such that they will especially need
the help of the community.
They will be asking for donations of the following items:
yams, cranberry sauce, canned fruit, stuffing or stuffing mix,
potatoes, celery, canned vegetables, pumpkin pie or other pie
filling and, this year, they want to add any type of boxed potato
mix. Those who wish to donate a frozen turkey, are asked to
bring it directly to the Food Bank. There will be barrels placed

Situations that have
already generated some good
returns will continue to do so
in the year ahead; in fact, they
could grow considerably larger.
Tend your garden, and
your harvest will be monumental.
ASTROGRAPH
By Bernice Bede Osol
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Although you get along
quite well with people from
all walks of life, you’ll really
shine in one-on-one relationships
with work-related associations,
especially with the
big shots.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- You always make
a good impression with
everyone, but you could make
an especially big impression
on members of the opposite
sex. If you are looking for
someone, get out and meet
new people.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- This could be an
interesting day because the
good you’ve done for others
may come back tenfold -- and
not necessarily through
friends and acquaintances but
through strangers, instead.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 19) -- Once you are fired
up, there will be no stopping
you. So focus on those efforts
or endeavors that could
arouse your enthusiasm and
bring great acclaim if you are
successful.

your material goals will be
the recipient of your efforts.
Nothing will be more dynamic
than this combination.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Because you’re a confidant(e)
in whom friends can
trust, they are likely to single
you out as the person to tell
things they wouldn’t want to
talk about with others. Be a
good listener.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- This could be one of
those days when you are
blessed with the ability to see
a little clearer and a bit further
than your peers. Use it to benefit
not only you but your
friends, too.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Circumstances that
have made you feel as if
you’ve lost control of important
matters will disappear;
you will be able to guard your
interests.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- It’ll behoove you to
spend time with friends
whose minds and ideas parallel
yours, because it will help
put disturbing factors in their
place and set things straight
again.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Know that congeniality is an
essential ingredient for victory.
With the right frame of
mind, it’ll be easy for you to
get along with everyone and

Grandmother-to-be worries for her daughter’s future safety
Dear Annie: My daughter, “Alicia,” is
married and pregnant. The problem is, her
husband is very abusive and I fear for her
life. She is young and he is her first love, and
she will not leave him even though she could
be in danger. Alicia will not have anything to
do with the family because we will not accept
her husband.
I will be away for several months. My
hope is that after the baby is born, her motherly
instincts will kick in and she will leave
to protect her child. Alicia has sent me an
invitation to her baby shower. Should I give
in and try to tolerate him for the sake of my
daughter and my unborn grandchild? I
thought she would come spend time with me,
even though her husband isn’t welcome, but I
can see that is not working. I believe he has
complete control of her and that she is a prisoner.
What should I do? -- Distraught Mother
Dear Distraught: Because you refuse to
accept Alicia’s husband, she feels she must
defend him. That makes her avoid you, which
in turn makes her more vulnerable to his
abuse since there is no one watching out for
her. You aren’t expected to like this man, but
shunning him means you won’t see your
daughter. She needs you. Please go to the
baby shower. Be polite to him and loving to
her. Let her know she can come to you, with
the baby, whenever she needs to. In the
meantime, call the National Domestic
Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-
799-7233) and ask what you can do.
Dear Annie: I am a middle-aged woman.

optimistic, the outlook for his recovery is
bleak.
The only family members I have are some
first cousins and a few distant relatives. I
want to become closer to them, but I would
hate to call and say, “My husband is most
likely dying and I am scared of being lonely.”
Do you have any suggestions on how I can
approach those family members without
sounding selfish? -- Need Some Support
Dear Need: This must be a terribly difficult
time for you. It’s perfectly OK to contact
relatives to let them know what is going on in
your life. Please consider sending holiday
cards this season. Include a personal, handwritten
note telling your relatives about your
child and your husband, and add that you
have gained an appreciation for the importance
of family and hope to be closer to them
in the future. Follow that up with a phone call
or e-mail to ask how they are doing. You also
can benefit from contacting The

children have died, at 1-877-969-0010.
Dear Annie: I read the responses to
“DPN” about why men cheat. The replies
made me curious about how I was treating
my own husband. They made me ask: “Do I
appreciate him enough?” “Do I show him
enough affection?” and “What have I done
for my marriage lately?”
Then I discover my husband is too tired for
sex, prefers time at the office to time with his
family, doesn’t want to go out to dinner or see
a movie, runs odd errands and is shady about
earning extra money. This behavior causes
stress and has even made me wonder whether
I’d be a better wife if I let another man take
care of my needs for a while. To cheat may
seem like a great idea to keep you sexually
satisfied while preserving your marriage, but
it really destroys it. Those aren’t the vows I
took the day I married my best friend. --
Pessimistic Optimist in Casper, Wyo.

I was doing the "male
bonding" thing with
my dad on 11/4. We
were taking a walk on
Monroe St. I am a
baby Chihuahua and
my dad looks like a
teenage father. Now
we are safe at the
Ukiah Shelter at 298
Plant Rd. If our human
does not find us
by 11/10 we will be
looking for new
homes. Call Sage if
you know us 467-
6453.
We are two handsome
male Labs.
One of us is yellow
and one black. We
thought a stroll in RV
in the cool fall evening
air on 11/4
would be a great
idea. Not a good
move, we almost got
hit by a passing car!
Luckily for us, a CHP
officer took us in her
patrol car to the safety
of the Ukiah Shelter.
If you know us
please call Sage 467-
6453. If not found we
will be looking for a
new home.

At left, District Attorney Marideth Lintott shares a
personal story about her trials as a teenager and
advice on success with the attendee’s of Saturdays
ceremony. At right, Cindee Mayfield, Presiding Judge
at Superior Court, recounts her early morning visit
to the Youth Impact Program and congratulates the
graduates on their success, Saturday.
Impact members worked on
cognitive improvement with
Deborah L. Tannenbaum, a
Ukiah-based marriage and
family therapist and
Mendocino College professor.
Tannenbaum said that it
allowed them to connect
with other guys who are trying
to make their lives better.
“In four weeks it was
really remarkable,”
Tannenbaum said.
Tannenbaum added that
some expressed concern, for
example, that people may
still perceive them as a car
thief.
The ending test for the
eight members and the probation
officers is a three and

Leading up to the end,

without hesitating, something
positive they had done
the day before.
“Do something nice
today, for no reason at all,”
Wann would tell the eight,
he said.
Participating in the program
is difficult for its
members, Wann said.
He added they had to
make adjustments in their
lives so that they can get up
early, get to bed early and
do their home work.
Doing something positive
is also another thing that is
asked of participants. They
heard a motivational story
from officers Wann or Leon
each day.
“We don’t try,” Wann
said, “we do.”

“The Big Lebowski” easily
over 100 times in my life and
it never gets old. I know every
word, even if it was a misstep.
(Like when Phillip Seymour
Hoffman’s character says the
first four words of the phrase
“necessary means for a higher
education” twice in a row.)
My college roommate and I
watched it every night for
something like a month
straight the first time after my
maiden voyage.
I’ve inflicted “The Big
Lebowski” on more hapless
party guests than I count, but
there’s good reason for this: If
you hate “The Big Lebowski,”
there’s a good chance I feel
the same way about you.
(What better way of testing a
person’s character than their
taste in the arts?)
I can’t even begin to pinpoint
why I love the movie so
much. Sure it’s funny and
clever, but so are a lot of
movies and I don’t use those
as a philosophy on life or
some sort of merit test for
being my friend. There’s just
some intangible element in the
tale of the hapless main character
portrayed by Jeff
Bridges that drew me in.
And as I found out in
September, I’m definitely not
the only one.
Lebowski Fest is an annual
festival begun in 2002 in
Louisville, Ky. and when I
found out the celebration was
heading to San Francisco I
immediately enlisted my girlfriend
Ash and our two recent-

was when the film began roll
on the giant projector that the
true reason for the gathering
took shape.
It was when the first frames
of the reel began to flicker that
dozens of us “Achievers,” as
we like to call ourselves,
began experiencing together
what we thought we had
found alone together. We
cheered at the arrival of our
favorite actors on screen like
conquering heroes marching
back from victorious conquest.
We knew every joke,

Jeff “The Dude” Dowd, second left, was the inspiration for Jeff Bridges character
in the movie “The Big Lebowski.” Ryan Spicer, smiling, asked him to take a picture
with her. Dowd said “yes” and then walked away, making this the best picture she
had with both of them in it. The author’s right eye is visilble on the far right.
(Author’s note: He was being very un-Dude.)
but that didn’t stop us from
barking out the lines in unison
or laughing like hyenas at the
punchlines.
We’re all crazy, but it’s so
much easier when you know
you’re not the only one.
