‘CIRCLES OF LIFE’ EXHIBIT OPENS SATURDAY
Isaac Eckel/The Daily Journal
A new exhibit at the Grace Hudson Museum spotlights the culture and history of the Hopi
people through ceramics, textiles, historic photographs, and most centrally, their basketry
plaques. The exhibit opens Saturday and runs through June 25.
Hopi art, basketry featured
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
Art and basketry are central to the social and spiritual
life of the Hopi Indian tribe of Northeast Arizona.
It is in that spirit that the Grace Hudson Museum will
be presenting this artwork in its show “Circles of
Life,” which opens Saturday.

One suspect arrested
fleeing from scene,
another still sought
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
One suspect is in custody and
another is still at large in a gang-related
home invasion and assault that
occurred early Saturday morning in
which two people were hurt.
According to a police report,
SHAG Salon & Supply
Joseph Littlemoon, 20, of Ukiah, and
an accomplice broke into a residence
in the 100 block of Laws Avenue and
attacked the occupants, a woman and
her boyfriend, with a knife and baseball
bat.
Littlemoon was arrested at 4 a.m.
Saturday, on suspicion of assault with
a deadly weapon, participation in a
criminal street gang and violating his
parole.
“The suspect himself was a known
gang participant, a Norteño,” said
The Hopi people make three kinds of baskets based
on where they live, said Grace Hudson Director
Sherri Ferri. Women of the first mesa make plate-like
baskets called plaques, women of the second mesa
make coiled baskets and women of the third mesa

Rulings will be
legally binding
By SETH FREEDLAND
The Daily Journal
Goodbye skateboards and
gloves, hello speeches and gavels:
A handful of Mendocino County
high schoolers will become the
area’s youngest lawyers thanks to
a program approved Tuesday by
the Board of Supervisors.
Six students will orate and
investigate juvenile cases as both
prosecution and defense attorneys
starting in April, with teenagers
also serving on the jury. Nine
local volunteer adult lawyers will
train the young barristers and
rotate as presiding judge, but the
cases will be conducted by the
youth themselves.
Judge Cindee Mayfield heard
of a teen peer court program in
Placer County and pitched the
concept to Tricia Guntly, of the
county’s Probation Department in
March 2005.
The county’s juvenile defenders,
and their legal guardians, will
have the option of using the existing
juvenile court system or taking
part in Peer Court. The majority
of expected Peer Court cases
will be from first-time, low-risk
offenders for crimes like petty
theft and school violations,
Guntly said. The rulings will be
fully legally binding.
The attorneys and jurors are
given specific criteria for sentencings,
with community service to
police ride-alongs as available
punishments. Juvenile Hall will
not play a role unless offenders
fail to complete their assigned
sentence.
As a condition of referral to
Peer Court the juvenile and parent
must admit to committing the
crime and waive the confidentiality
normally associated with all
juvenile proceedings. The names
of co-participants in the crime
who are not referred to Peer Court
will be deleted from the reports.
The Mendocino County
Superior Court will provide
courtrooms and Mendocino
County Office of Education will
provide in-service training for
teachers and students, as well as
office space for the to-be-selected
program coordinator.
Training is ongoing, with Peer
Court’s first session set for April
6. Mayfield will be the first judge.
No budget currently exists for
the program, but the District
Attorney’s Office offered to provide
startup funding, Guntly said.
Once the budget is finalized,
those funds are expected to be
allotted.
Currently, only MCOE and the
Ukiah Unified School District
will provide the legally inclined
student participants and there are
no limitations on who can sign
up. Officials hope to expand the
project in the next few years.
Students will receive civic
government credit for school as
well as a greater “feeling of

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Youth to try
their peers
in new court
No debate
on building
moratorium
angers Smith
By SETH FREEDLAND
The Daily Journal
A week after the Board
of Supervisors opted not to
discuss requested staff
reports on a building moratorium,
Supervisor Kendall
Smith scolded her colleagues
by calling the lack
of debate “irresponsible.”
Toward the close of
Tuesday’s meeting, Smith -who
was the only supervisor
to express any interest in the
agenda items on a countyor
valleywide building timeout,
which could allow the
Ukiah Valley Area Plan to
be completed before making
planning decisions -- worried
over wasted county
staff time. Smith estimated a
week ago that staff spent
more than 100 hours on the
legal proposals.
“My main concern is
there was quite a bit of staff
time and this body did not
take the time to look at the
details,” said Smith, of the
supervisors. “There was
zero time on discussion
points on what could be
included as part of the resolution
(in) what could have
been a proactive or positive
piece.”
The supervisors voted in
January by a 4-1 vote, with
Mike Delbar dissenting, to
ask staff to look at proposals
for a moratorium. The public
became galvanized on
both sides of the debate and
the supervisors’ chambers
were more crowded for last
week’s discussion than at
any other point in recent
memory. After 40-odd residents
spoke on matters both
professional and personal,
the supervisors promptly
dismissed the items.
On Tuesday, Smith
requested that county coun-

accomplishment and accountability,”
Guntly said.
During supervisoral approval
establishing Peer Court,
Supervisor Jim Wattenburger
foresaw an “exciting new era” for
the juvenile criminal justice system.
He praised the notion of
allowing youth to become
involved in “their own decisionmaking
processes” and reasoning
out what is appropriate for their
peers.

Bush says troops will still be
in Iraq when he leaves office
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush said Tuesday that
American forces will remain in Iraq for years and it will be up
to a future president to decide when to bring them all home. But
defying critics and plunging polls, he declared, “I’m optimistic
we’ll succeed. If not, I’d pull our troops out.”
The president rejected calls for the resignation of Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, chief architect of wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. “Listen, every war plan looks good on paper until
you meet the enemy,” Bush said, acknowledging mistakes as
the United States was forced to switch tactics and change a
reconstruction strategy that offered targets for insurgents.
He also rejected assertions by Iraq’s former interim prime
minister that the country had fallen into civil war amid sectarian
violence that has left more than 1,000 Iraqis dead since the
bombing last month of a Shiite Muslim shrine.
100 gunmen storm Iraqi jail,
kill police and free fellow insurgents
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — About 100 masked gunmen
stormed a prison near the Iranian border Tuesday, cutting phone
wires, freeing all the inmates and leaving behind a scene of devastation
and carnage — 20 dead policemen, burned-out cars and
a smoldering jailhouse.
At least 10 attackers were killed in the dawn assault on the
Muqdadiyah lockup on the eastern fringe of the Sunni Triangle,
police said. The raid showed the mostly Sunni militants can still
assemble a large force, capable of operating in the region virtually
at will — even though U.S. and Iraqi military officials said
last year that the area was no longer an insurgent stronghold.
The insurgency’s strength, spiraling sectarian violence and
the stalemate over forming a government in Iraq have led
politicians and foreign policy experts to say Iraq is on the brink
or perhaps in the midst of civil war.
In all, 33 prisoners were freed, including 18 insurgents who
were detained Sunday during raids by security forces in the
nearby villages of Sansal and Arab, police said.
Spring snow storm closes schools,
Plains still digging out
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The spring snow storm that buried
parts of Nebraska under more than 2 feet of snow swept through
the Ohio Valley on Tuesday, shutting down schools and making
travel tough for voters headed for the polls for the Illinois’ primary
election.
As much as two inches of snow an hour fell in some areas of
Illinois and Indiana, and wind gusted to 40 mph, weather officials
said.
“Our weather’s terrible. The highways are terrible. It’s not
the highway department’s fault, they just can’t keep up with it,”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court made it harder
Tuesday for investors to join forces to file high-stakes fraud
lawsuits against companies.
The 8-0 decision blocks state class-action lawsuits by stockholders
who contend they were tricked into holding onto declining
shares.
Justice John Paul Stevens, writing for the court, said that to
rule otherwise would allow “wasteful, duplicative litigation.”
The decision does not shut the door to lawsuits filed by individual
stockholders, but rather to suits brought on behalf of
large groups.
“There had been some upswing in these after the Enron and
WorldCom scandals,” said Columbia Law School professor
John Coffee, who believes it will be too expensive for individual
stock owners to pursue such suits.
It was a major victory for Merrill Lynch & Co., which faced
a spate of lawsuits prompted in part by New York Attorney
General Eliot Spitzer’s 2002 probe into the investment banking
firm’s practices.
U.S. makes low-key appeal on behalf
of Christian on trial in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Bush administration issued a
subdued appeal Tuesday to Afghanistan to permit a Christian
convert on trial for his life to practice his faith in the predominantly
Muslim country.
The State Department, however, did not urge the U.S. ally in
the war against terrorism to terminate the trial. Officials said the
Bush administration did not want to interfere with
Afghanistan’s sovereignty.
The case involves an Afghan man who converted from Islam
and was arrested last month after his family accused him of
becoming a Christian. The conversion is a crime under
Afghanistan’s Islamic laws.
Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns and department
spokesman Sean McCormack asked Afghanistan to conduct the
trial “in a transparent way.” Burns said he told Afghan Foreign
Minister Abdullah Abdullah, with whom he held talks at the
department, that “we would follow the case closely.”

LOS ANGELES — After
more than three-quarters of a
century working for public
transit agencies, a bus maintenance
worker will retire
Wednesday on his 100th
birthday.
For decades, Arthur
Winston reported to work at a
bus yard at the crack of dawn.
By 6 a.m. he would be supervising
a crew of workers as
they cleaned and refueled the
region’s bus fleet.
But on Tuesday, Winston
abandoned his routine and put
on a suit, tie and black fedora
and headed downtown to meet
the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors. There,
he was lauded for his nearly
perfect work record and
decades of service with what
is currently called the
Metropolitan Transportation
Authority.
“I’m kind of nervous about
leaving the job, I’ve been
doing it for so long,” Winston
told The Associated Press.
“I’m going to miss my crew.
But I’ll find plenty of things
to do with my free time.”
Winston has missed only
one day of work in his entire
career, transit officials say.
That was in 1988, when his
wife of 65 years died.

McClatchy likely to sell Knight-
Ridder papers to several buyers
By DEBORAH YAO
AP Business Writer
PHILADELPHIA -- The
bloc of 12 newspapers being
sold by the McClatchy Co. as
part of its acquisition of
Knight Ridder Inc. will likely
be broken up and bought by
several buyers, McClatchy
said Tuesday.
Elaine Lintecum, a spokeswoman
for McClatchy, said
there has been strong interest
in the papers by several parties,
although she declined to
name them.
“It’s not likely to be one
transaction,” she said. “It’s not
likely to be 12 transactions.
It’s somewhere in between.”
Last week, McClatchy
agreed to pay $4.5 billion in
cash and stock to acquire San
Jose, Calif.-based Knight
Ridder, the parent of The
Philadelphia Inquirer and the
Philadelphia Daily News.
The deal gives Sacramento,
Calif.-based McClatchy 32
newspapers. Of those, 12 will
be sold, including the two
Philadelphia dailies and the
Times Leader in Wilkes-
Barre.
The papers are being jettisoned
because they’re in
slower growing markets.
Analysts have cited industry
leader Gannett Co. in
McLean, Va., as a possible
buyer, as well as MediaNews
Group Inc., a privately held
newspaper company based in
Denver and run by William
Dean Singleton. The
Newspaper Guild, backed by
financier Ron Burkle, also
announced its interest.
John Morton, president of
Morton Research Inc., a
media consulting firm in
Silver Spring, Md., said the
logical buyers for most of the
dailies would be publishing
companies in nearby areas.
That’s because a publisher
that owns several newspapers
becomes more attractive to
advertisers, who only need to
deal with one company and
get exposure to several cities.
“Most newspapers like to
cluster ownership,” said
Morton, who also writes a column
about the newspaper
industry for the American
Journalism Review.
By buying nearby papers,
Morton said, a publisher can
boosts ad revenue and can cut
costs by consolidating administration
and publishing functions.
Antitrust issues shouldn’t
be a problem if the two
publications aren’t in the same
city or adjacent communities.
Morton said it makes sense
for MediaNews to buy the San
BUSINESS BY THE BLOCK
Jose Mercury News and The
Monterey County Herald,
both in Northern California,
since it owns a slew of newspapers
in the East Bay.
Singleton also recently visited
the Inquirer, fueling speculation
that he might buy the
paper.
The owner of The Plain
Dealer in Cleveland, Advance
Publications in New York,
could be interested in the
Akron Beacon Journal.
Gannett could take a look
at The News-Sentinel in Fort
Wayne, Ind., since it owns
The Indianapolis Star and a
paper in Muncie, Ind. Gannett
also might be a bidder for the
Philadelphia papers, since it’s
shown interest in entering big
markets in recent years.
As for the Newspaper
Guild and Burkle’s Yucaipa
Cos. in Los Angeles, Morton
said unions that have talked
about buying papers on the
block often couldn’t get
financing.
The Guild is different
because the union has
Burkle’s backing. But Morton
notes that it’s unusual for outside
equity investors to get
into the newspaper industry.
One scenario is that the
investor will flip the property
after about five years, once it
gets a good return.
But it might be tough to
find a buyer for the Times
Leader in Wilkes-Barre,
because it has competition in
the same community -- The
Citizens’ Voice.
“A competitive newspaper
always has lower profit margins
and always will, as long
as there’s another newspaper
in the market,” Morton said.
Oracle profit surges 42 percent, tops analyst expectations
y MICHAEL LIEDTKE
AP Business Writer
SAN FRANCISCO -- After pouring
nearly $20 billion into a recent takeover
spree, Oracle Corp. is having trouble
convincing investors the money has been
well spent.
Oracle’s stock remained in a funk even
after the company reported its biggest
quarterly profit increase since embarking
on its high-priced expansion more than a
year ago.
In a report released after the stock
market closed Monday, the Redwood
Shores-based company said it earned
$765 million, or 14 cents per share, for
the three months ending in February.
That compared with net income of $540
million, or 10 cents per share, at the same
time last year.
Revenue for Oracle’s third quarter
totaled $3.47 billion, an 18 percent
increase from $2.95 billion a year ago. If
the value of the dollar hadn’t increased
substantially over the past year, Oracle
estimated its revenue would have
climbed 22 percent.
After subtracting acquisition costs and
other charges unrelated to its ongoing
operations, Oracle said it earned 19 cents
per share. That figure was penny above
the average estimate of analysts surveyed
by Thomson Financial.
Oracle’s management reiterated its
previous earnings guidance for the current
quarter ending in May -- traditionally
the period when the company posts its
biggest profit.
Excluding acquisition costs, the average
analyst estimate for the fourth quarter
stands at 27 cents per share, according to
Thomson Financial.
Oracle’s shares climbed 12 cents to
close Monday at $13.72 on the Nasdaq
Stock Market, then dropped 53 cents, or
4 percent, in extended trading.
The past quarter represented Oracle’s
most robust earnings growth since it
devoured longtime rival PeopleSoft Inc.
in an $11.1 billion acquisition completed
in January 2005.
Since then, Oracle has taken over
Siebel Systems Inc., Retek Inc. and several
other small software makers, raising
the total price of its recent buying binge
to nearly $20 billion.
Oracle mounted the aggressive expansion
to bolster its stock price and pose a
stiffer challenge to Germany-based SAP
AG, the longtime leader in business
applications software -- the computer
coding that automates a wide range of
administrative tasks.
The strategy hasn’t panned out yet as
Oracle’s market value has remained
largely unchanged since it began spending
all that money. SAP, meanwhile, says
it is picking more sales from corporate
customers worried about how Oracle’s
wave of takeovers might affect the quality
of future products.
SAP ended 2005 with a 21 percent
share of the business applications software
market followed by Oracle at 10
percent, according to AMR Research.
Safra Catz, Oracle’s co-president and
chief financial officer, said the latest
quarter showed the company is getting
stronger.
“We don’t feel like we are losing customers
at all,” she said in a conference
call Monday with reporters. “Our renewal
rates remain extremely high. If anyone
is taking (market share), I would say it is
us.”
Oracle’s sales of new software licens-
es totaled $1.1 billion in the quarter, a 16
percent increase from a year ago. New
licenses are viewed as a good way to
gauge a software maker’s health because
those sales produce a lucrative stream of
service and support revenue in future
years.
Sales of business applications software,
particularly on SAP’s home turf in
Europe, accounted for a large chunk of
Oracle’s growth in the last quarter.
Oracle’s business applications totaled
$269 million, a 77 percent increase from
$152 million a year ago. The growth rate
was unusually high, largely because
Oracle only owned PeopleSoft for twothirds
of last year’s quarter and its sales
of PeopleSoft products right after the
takeover were unusually weak, totaling
about $30 million.
If not for a slight lift from the Siebel
acquisition in February, Oracle’s business
applications licenses would have been
$247 million in the fourth quarter.
By another measure used by some
industry analysts, Oracle’s business
applications growth isn’t as impressive
the year-over-year increase makes it
appear. While they were still rivals,
Oracle and PeopleSoft combined to sell
$270 million in business applications
software during the comparable period
two years ago.
Oracle’s sales of database software -the
company’s foundation -- didn’t generate
as much growth as some analysts had
hoped. The company licensed $827 million
in database software during quarter,
up by just 4 percent last year. Catz
blamed the lackluster growth largely on
currency exchange rates that worked
against the company.
Q: I am 82 and in fairly
good health. At my daughter’s
suggestion, I began living
with her and her husband
shortly after my wife died 10
years ago. Since they offered
to add a small apartment onto
their home to make me comfortable,
I made a gift to my
daughter of $85,000 to cover
the construction and expense
of furniture and appliances.
My accountant told me that
because of the size of the gift,
I would have to file a gift tax
return, which I did. Since
then, I have paid my daughter
and son-in-law $750 each
month for my share of the
food and utilities, etc.
Otherwise, I pay my other
expenses. I have a son who
lives with his wife and two
children about 800 miles
away, and he visits and calls
only occasionally.
I thought things were
going OK until my son-inlaw
told me last week that he
and my daughter were planning
to sell the house and
move to a smaller place, and
that I would have to go to
assisted living or live with my
son. To make things worse, he
told me that I had put a strain
on their marriage, something
I tried very hard not to do.
When I gave my daughter
the money, I thought I would
be able to stay with her until I
got so bad that I needed to be
cared for in a nursing home.
Since I still drive, take no
medicine and exercise every
day, I am far from needing a
nursing home. My Social
Security and retirement
income is $2,500 monthly,
and I have better than
$225,000 in certificates of
deposit. My son (who says he
can’t take me in because he
has no room) says that I
should get my $85,000 back
from my daughter. I have no
close friends in the area and
feel that I have nowhere to
turn. I am afraid that if I go
into assisted living, I will lose
my abilities before my time. I
know I will have to sign a
new will and power of attorney.
I never expected to be
homeless at my age.
A: Based on your good
health and independence, we
see no need for you to even
consider an assisted-living
facility today. Instead, you
should check out independent
senior living facilities and
communities in your area,
where you can probably find
a suitable apartment, condominium
or even a patio home,
depending on the layout of
the community. There, you
will be able to mix with folks
your own age who, like you,
are still very independent and
have their abilities, as you put
it. Choosing a senior community
that best fits your needs
and pocketbook is a task that
requires a lot of planning.
You will probably want to
take tours of the various campuses
in your locale and even
spend the weekend to acclimate
yourself. If you feel lost
and would like some help, we
suggest you contact a professional
geriatric care manager
by visiting the National
Association of Professional
Geriatric Care Managers’
Web site at www.caremanag-
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.

living the antidote

Next steps

From what you describe,
your son’s idea about getting
reimbursement from your
daughter has no legal foundation.
This means that if your
daughter and her husband
voluntarily give you one
nickel, it will be a gift. And if
it is gift, to the extent you
receive more than $12,000 in
any one year from either of
them, or more than $24,000
from both of them, they will
be required to file a gift tax
return.
Here, you made an
absolute gift to your daughter
of $85,000 with no strings
attached. The “agreement”
you felt you had with your
daughter was not a written
condition of the transfer of
your funds. Plus, you filed a
federal gift tax return.
Even if you are dealing
with family, don’t think you
won’t need that written agreement.
Because of situations
like this -- which are becoming
more and more prevalent -
- a written agreement setting
out what each person
involved expects and will
receive should be signed by
all interested persons.
With your income and
remaining assets, you should
have no problem affording a
comfortable independent living
environment. If you and
your daughter are still getting
along otherwise, there would
be no real reason to change
your powers of attorney;
however, if you are not, you
should consider the replacement
carefully. Since your
son lives far away and has little
contact with you, your
daughter may still be the best
choice. However, make sure
your power of attorney does
not become effective unless
and until you are incapacitated
(called a springing durable
power of attorney) and, under
these circumstances, since
you want to make sure all the
rest of your money is available
for your care, we suggest
that there be no gifting
authority granted to your
agent. And one last thing:
Had you contacted an elder
law attorney before forking
over $85,000, we can think of
at least two ways in which
you -- and your money -would
have been protected.

Remember Denim Day
To the Editor:
As part of National Sexual Assault
Awareness Month this April, we are asking
people to break their workplace dress
codes on Wednesday, April 19, and wear
denim to work.
Sponsored locally by Project Sanctuary,
Denim Day was created as part of an
international protest of an Italian Supreme
Court decision to overturn a rape conviction
because the victim was wearing jeans.
The Court stated in its decision that “it is
common knowledge that jeans cannot
even be partly removed without the effective
help of the person wearing them, and,
it is impossible if the victim is struggling
with all her might.”
The judgment sparked a worldwide outcry
from those who understand that coercion,
threats and violence often go hand in
hand with the act of rape. The unpopular
“blame the victim” verdict of the Court
became an international symbol of mythbased
injustice for sexual assault victims.
Denim Day is just an outward example
of how a community can help change people’s
perceptions about violence against
women, men, and children.
Anyone interested in participating in
Denim Day can call our office at 462-
9196 for more information. We are available
to visit your organization to present a
quick five minute talk, and to distribute
buttons and posters to you and/or your
employees. Join us in the fight for a safer
community for all people by wearing
denim to work, and a “why denim” button
on April 19.

Thank you
To the Editor:
I would like to extend a very hearty
thanks to the many, many people who
assisted with the Ukiahi 14th Annual
Renaissance Dinner choir fundraiser on
March 11. I am absolutely blown away by
the amount of support and time that community
members and families gave to make
the dinner a success. This huge dinner that
served to a sold out crowd of 250 attendees
would not at all have been possible without
the hours that head chef Jeremy Mann put
in with the help of Dr. Phil Gary, Marty
Lombardi, and Dennis Huey. We are also
very fortunate to have the use of the high
school kitchen and support from head
cook, Les Ridgeway. From the performance
end, thanks to Randy Moore and
Valerie Warda for their acting and thanks to
Susan Wilcox for her choreography
instruction. Thanks to Peg Kingman and
her wonderful playing of the Scottish bagpipes.
Lucia Parmenter who is incredibly
organized, creative and a delight to work
with spearheaded the decorations committee.
Marcella Chandler and Liz Ohleyer
spent many hours collecting and displaying
the fifty auction items, which resulted in a
very good profit for the choir program. The
carpenters, Will Boults, Ben Aguilar, Bryan
Laughlin, Don Dunham, Ron Selim, Randy
Moore, Ross Beck and Joe Corley, worked
wonders creating a fine set. The magic of
this Renaissance event was further
enhanced by John Beatty, sound reinforcement,
and Steve Wilson, lighting. Roger
Franklin volunteered several hours with
setting up the canopy and helping with sets.
Carole Hester finely penned a series of articles
and other publicity enabled us to sell
out the tickets a full week ahead. We are
also extremely grateful to Carol Lorenz,
choir accompanist, for her unending assistance
with ticket sales and a myriad of
other tasks. Thanks to Kitty Britton for selling
tickets and Marcia Sandler for taking
tickets at the door. Two of the largest tasks
involved in the dinner were the serving and
clean up. We are very grateful to Francine
Selim for coordinating the serving and
dishwashing and the crew of administrators
and parents who stayed well past 12:30
a.m. to wash the dishes and box them all
up. Thank you to the all the parents who
helped with food prep, decorations and
clean-up: Beth Roesler, Tanya Rodriquez,
Henry and Mindy Castorena, Judy
Emerson, Jill Donocan, Loretta Davis,
Debbie Flowers, Rick Gilmore, Robert
Gitlin, Russ Hardy, Joan MacDowell, Pat

Lang, Anna Russell, Shelley Mack, Bill
and Lori Platt, Sheilah Prax, Clara Prosser,
Brian and Terry Weis, the Richeys, Lucinda
and Tom Segar, Kim Stark, Millie Johnson,
Lisa Triguerio, and Clara Lamus. And a
special thanks to Marty Lombardi for providing
the pizzas for lunch and Heidi and
Don for providing supper for the students
and workers. The profits from the event far
exceeded my expectations thanks to our
attendees’ support of the choir program.
And finally I would like to acknowledge
the choir students, many of whom have
never done anything like this before, for
their fine musical and dramatic work, trust
in the process, and their extraordinary team
work which makes this event remain a
wonderful memory forever.

On the other hand
Another voice
It is interesting to note
that in the Sunday, March
19 edition of the Ukiah
Daily Journal we read at
least two sides of
Government and Journalism
roles.
In the Viewpoints column
Peter Sheer’s article on
“Sunshine” week in
California states:
“Government and the Press
are natural antagonists.
Government wants to keep
secrets, while the Press
wants to expose them.”
While reading this we
need to keep in mind that it
was the California government
that enacted the
Brown Act requiring government
decisions be made
in public. Personally, I am
grateful that we have this
citizen-friendly Brown Act
requirement for government.
I want our elected
officials to make their decisions
in our presence after
relevant input.
On the same day we read
in “Matter of Fact,” that
Seth Freedland is seeking
“efficient government” and
objecting to “government
waste.” He referred to the
discussion of the change in
the Emergency Services
panel as “it was an hour of
our time in all of our lives
that we could not get back.”
Well, that is a new idea for
me because I am not aware
of any hour that passes that
we can get back.
My observation was that
the identified members of
the new Panel put in clear
perspective the change of
roles for the Supervisors. It
was the consequence of
their previously choosing to
have a CEO rather than a
CAO. I thought it was the
impact of the new county
structure and the implication
for the role of the
Supervisors that led to the
postponement. This new
role of Supervisors was
uncomfortable enough that

it was felt that the two
absent Supervisors needed
have an opportunity to
respond to the issue.Taking
time to process information
is a good thing and necessary
for the representatives
that we elect in a democracy.
Although Mr. Freedland
refers to this as two hours
of wasted government time,
I saw it as a necessary part
off the process.
He then contrasts this
time spent with the UVAP
agenda items at a later
Board of Supervisors meeting.
The objection seems to
be that the Supervisors did
not have a lengthy discussion
on this issue. He
described this as if the staff
work on the issues was dismissed
- like “throwing
everything into the shredder.”
I thought the Planning
Department did a great service
for the community by
preparing the ordinances
and lengthy descriptions of
the three options for a “time
out” on building.
When the Ryder Homes
project became known to
the public there was a
strong reaction against it by
many.
Groups met, films were
shown, new interest in what
goes on at Planning
Commission and Board
meetings occurred. At the
City level too, interest in
planning decisions
increased. There was a lot
of support to take “time
out” so that building permit
decisions would be based
on agreed upon plans.
When the Planning
Department described the
options for “time out,” a
new part of the picture
became apparent. Without

Planning Department to
present the details and the
effect on the community as
a whole of each decision,
we would not have had all
the information needed for
the a Board’s decision. I
experienced it as the
Precautionary Principle.
Action was taken by
CEO Ball by reorganising
the Planning Department to
separate future planning
from current processing of
building permits. At the
first Board workshop planning
was identified by the
Board as a top priority. At
the meetings that I have
attended I think Mr. Ball
has been very clear about
who has what responsibility
in the county process.
It is true that democracy
is a messy process, time
consuming. Government of
the people, for the people,
by the people in open session
is very demanding of
everyone. The listeners and
the decision makers. There
are times when I am unhappy
with the outcome, but I
do not know of any better
process.
I appreciate hearing the
opinions and questions of
our elected officials and
the answers that are provided
by staff. I want to know
what is happening in our
community at the level
where the decisions are
made. I also want it to happen
in open sessions so that
the press can tell us what is
going on.
If you are not already, come
join us as audience at these
meetings so that when you
vote at the next election you
will have an informed, personal
awareness of whom
you are voting for.

NAT HENTOFF
The genocide minuet
at the United Nations
While The New York Times insists it remains the
standard for American daily journalism, that selfabsorbed
institution often misses pivotally illuminating
stories. A case in point is a multilayered Feb. 28
report by the New York Sun's United Nations correspondent,
Benny Avni, on the cynical realpolitik of
U.N. principals -- in contrast to the refreshing, insistent
forthrightness of our U.N. ambassador, John
Bolton.
Among Bolton's goals is sending a U.N. force, with
possible NATO components, into Darfur to bolster the
present small, beleaguered African Union contingent.
He is also proposing targeted U.N. sanctions against
some of the chief organizers of the genocide in the
Sudanese government. (Britain is also working on a
resolution that could lead to warrants from the
International Criminal Court against the architects of
the genocide.)
The three members of the U.N. Security Council
blocking Bolton's proposed measures are Russia,
China and Qatar. Qatar -- home of the Al-Jazeera TV
network but also with strong military ties to the United
States -- represents the Arab states in the decisionmaking
U.N. Security Council.
As Avni reports, although U.N. Secretary General
Kofi Annan recently spent a weekend in Qatar, he did
not even discuss Sudan during his visit. Nor did he discuss
the need for targeted sanctions against Sudanese
officials and their Janjaweed militia involved in the
atrocities that have slaughtered so many thousands and
devastated the villages of black Africans in Darfur, and
who are now also killing and raping refugees in neighboring
Chad.
Qatar, resisting these sanctions, was supported by
the United States in becoming part of the powerful
U.N. Security Council. But like the other Arab states at
the United Nations, Qatar appears indifferent to the
genocide in Darfur, even though both the killers and
the victims are Muslims.
Annan, remembering his deadly silence during the
genocide in Rwanda, is not indifferent to the new
genocide. Last year, as the New York Sun reports, he
appointed a U.N. panel of experts who wrote "a confidential
report that identified 17 Sudanese officials as
having impeded peace and committed crimes against
humanity in Darfur."
Bolton, the Sun adds, has been urging the Security
Council to impose sanctions on "the eight most obvious
names" in that report commissioned by Annan.
The Financial Times, much concerned with these
crimes against humanity, has published some of the
names allegedly included in the report by the U.N.
panel of experts.
Among them is Sudan's director of intelligence,
Salah Abdalla Gosh, who has been working with the
CIA to corral terrorists in Sudan and other countries;
the interior minister (Elzubier Bashir Taha); and the
defense minister (Abdel Rahim Mohammed Hussein).
According to American Prospect magazine, a possible
future list may include, as it certainly should,
Sudan's ruthless president, Omar Hassan Ahmad al-
Bashir. But what about the leaders of Bashir's auxiliary
murderers and gang-rapers, the Janjaweed?
Meanwhile, the government of Sudan is taking a
very hard line against any possibility of a U.N. peacekeeping
force being deployed in Darfur, saying it will
withdraw from the African Union if it happens.
According to Jan Pronk, the U.N.'s special representative
for Sudan, the Khartoum government "has sent
delegations to many countries in the world in order to
plead its case: Let the African Union stay and let the
U.N. not come" (New York Times, Warren Hoge,
March 1).
Pronk is himself warning that a too-hasty involvement
of U.N. forces could lead to "retaliation" by Al
Qaeda elements that he says are already embedded in
Khartoum. Really? But the Sudanese government
claims that its intelligence operatives are expert in
finding these Al Qaeda terrorists. So why doesn't
Sudan arrest those terrorists purportedly under its very
nose?
In this country, among groups deeply concerned
with this genocide is a Pennsylvania coalition of the
Community Relations Council of the Jewish
Federation of Lehigh Valley; the Institute for Jewish
Christian Understanding at Muhlenberg College; and
representatives of Amnesty International and the
Allentown Roman Catholic Diocese, along with a student
organization.
Their message: "In Darfur's suffering, we see the
same kind of genocidal design that terrorized Jews and
non-Jews in Nazi Germany."
But at the United Nations, a minuet of resolutions
are proposed and obstructed and proposed again. If the
United Nations cannot end this horrifying mass suffering,
what is its reason for being?

Stocks drop as inflation
concerns continue to linger
By MICHAEL J. MARTINEZ
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK -- Stocks finished
an erratic session lower
Tuesday, with a conflicting
report on wholesale inflation
and questions about the Federal
Reserve’s interest rate policy
creating uncertainty for
investors.
The Labor Department’s producer
price index fell 1.4 percent,
the sharpest decline in
three years. However, so-called
core PPI, with volatile food and
fuel prices removed, rose 0.3
percent, slightly higher than
Wall Street expected.
Investors are worried that
higher core inflation could
mean more interest rate hikes
from the Fed. A speech from
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke
Monday night did little to calm
those fears, as the new Fed
chairman gave no sign whether
monetary policy makers would
continue raising rates.
“To me, you have the PPI
number showing some slippage
in the core rate, which raises
some questions on inflation,”
said Joseph Battipaglia, chief
investment officer at Ryan Beck
& Co. “There was nothing in
Bernanke’s comments that were
unsettling, but no real signals,
either.”
Stocks had rallied into positive
territory around midday, but
fell sharply after the major
indexes touched upon new fiveyear
highs -- apparently prompting
investors to take profits,
especially with the Fed meeting
still to come next week.
According to preliminary
calculations, the Dow Jones
industrial average fell 39.06, or
0.35 percent, to 11,235.47.
Broader stock indicators also
fell. The Standard & Poor’s 500
index lost 7.85, or 0.6 percent,
to 1,297.23, and the techfocused
Nasdaq composite
index dropped 19.88, or 0.86
percent, to 2,294.23.
Bonds moved sharply lower,

y JEREMIAH MARQUEZ
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES -- Henry
C. Yuen, the former CEO of
Gemstar-TV Guide, was found
liable for securities fraud in a
federal lawsuit that claimed he
inflated the company’s revenue
by $248 million to boost its
stock.
Yuen also misrepresented
facts to Gemstar’s auditors and
falsified its books, according to
a ruling issued last week and
unsealed Monday.
The Securities and
Exchange Commission will
now submit a proposed penalty.
The findings by U.S.
District Judge Mariana R.
Pfaelzer came nearly three
years after the SEC sued Yuen
and Elsie Leung, Gemstar’s
ex-finance chief, over an
alleged scheme to inflate company
revenue to meet certain
financial targets.
Regulators contend that
Yuen’s actions contributed to a
windfall between 2000 and
2002 -- at least $18.8 million in
salary and bonuses, $14.6 million
in exercised stock options,
and more than $63.6 million in
Gemstar stock sales.
Yuen’s attorney, Stanley
Arkin, said an appeal was
being considered.
“I don’t see eye to eye with
her decision, but she’s a
judge,” Arkin said. “The game
isn’t over.”
Since November 2002,
Gemstar has restated or
reversed certain license and ad
revenues by $357 million, with
more than $230 million stemming
from transactions in the
case, according to the ruling.
Yuen knew but didn’t disclose
that a good portion of
licensing revenue for 2000 and
2001 came from expired and
disputed licensing agreements,
the judge said. What’s more,
he misled investors when
Gemstar recorded non-monetary
payments as ad revenue,
and booked revenue from socalled
round trip transactions
in which Gemstar paid money
to a third party only to receive
Treasury note rising to 4.72 percent
from 4.66 percent late
Monday. The dollar rose against
most major currencies, while
gold prices fell.
Crude prices rose modestly
after dropping $2.35 per barrel
in the previous session. A barrel
of light crude settled at $60.57,
up 15 cents, on the New York
Mercantile Exchange.
The tech sector was particularly
volatile as investors reacted
to a tepid earnings report
from Oracle Corp. late Monday.
While the company’s quarterly
earnings were a penny better
than Wall Street forecasts,
investors were concerned about
slipping licensing revenue.
Oracle started lower, then led
the midday rally in tech before
fininshing 10 cents lower at
$13.62.
“I think the market bounced
off of Oracle’s turnaround,
which triggered some institutional

momentum buying that lifted
tech, but the rest of the market
kind of faded off.”

Judge finds ex-Gemstar-TV Guide
CEO liable for securities fraud
Appeals court tosses
Quattrone conviction,
assigns case to new judge
By LARRY NEUMEISTER
The Associated Press
NEW YORK --Frank Quattrone, the king
dealmaker of the Internet stock boom who
once made $120 million in a single year,
may face a third obstruction-of-justice trial
after an appeals court tossed out his conviction.
If so, he and his lawyer say they are
ready after the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Manhattan granted a new trial
Monday and ordered a change in the judge
and rules governing a retrial. The government
is weighing whether to retry the case
against the former Silicon Valley banking
star.
“For over three years during this difficult
ordeal, I have held my head high knowing I
was innocent and never intended to
obstruct justice,” Quattrone, 50, said in a
statement.
His lawyer, Mark Pomerantz, predicted a
changed climate and said a new judge
would ensure that “everything about a next
trial if there is a next trial would be different,
including the result.”
He added: “This case was tried, as you’ll
recall, at the height of the fallout from the
collapse of the stock market in 2000.”
The appeals court rejected the May 2004
verdict after concluding the jury was
improperly instructed on how to interpret
the law.
The appeals court hinted it was skeptical
of the conviction in October 2004 when it
permitted Quattrone to remain free pending
appeal just nine days before he was to
report to prison.
Quattrone faced 18 months in prison
after he was convicted of obstruction-ofjustice
charges related to a federal investigation
of initial public offerings of stock.
An earlier trial of Quattrone ended in a
mistrial when a jury deadlocked.
The appellate decision represents a setback
for federal prosecutors in New York,
who had successfully convicted several
other high-profile defendants in the past
few years. Martha Stewart was found guilty
of lying about a stock sale, while cable
company founder John Rigas was convicted
of looting Adelphia Communications Corp.
A year ago, former WorldCom CEO
Bernard Ebbers was found guilty of charges
related to the $11 billion fraud at the former
telecommunications company. Ebbers
received a 25-year prison term, which he is
appealing.
Quattrone, who helped prominent companies
like Amazon.com and Netscape
Communications Corp. go public during
the Internet stock craze, was the highestprofile
Wall Street figure since junk-bond
pioneer Michael Milken to be convicted.
In the late 1990s, he supervised 400
technology investment bankers from the
Palo Alto, Calif., offices of Credit Suisse
First Boston Corp.
His trial focused on his actions after the
National Association of Securities Dealers
in May 2000 began probing CSFB’s under-

writing of initial public offerings. The
NASD has since barred Quattrone from the
securities industry for life.
The NASD probe was followed by investigations
by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and a federal grand jury into
how the company handled initial public
offerings.
The company was never criminally
charged but Quattrone was accused of hindering
the federal probe. Prosecutors cited
a December 2000 e-mail in which
Quattrone endorsed a colleague’s suggestion
that bankers “clean up” their files.
Quattrone testified he was following
bank policy when he issued the e-mail and
that he knew almost nothing about a grand
jury subpoena seeking documents involving
hundreds of initial public offerings of stock
during the late-1990s Internet boom.
Quattrone’s lawyers had argued that the
jury instructions during the trial were
deeply flawed. At issue was whether
Quattrone actually knew that investigators
were seeking the documents he sought to
destroy. Quattrone said he did not.
In its ruling, the appeals court said the
trial judge, Richard Owen, incorrectly told
jurors they did not need to find a nexus
between Quattrone’s actions and pending
investigations of his company.
It said Owen’s instruction conflicted
with last year’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling
throwing out the conviction of the Arthur
Andersen accounting firm for destroying
Enron Corp.-related documents.
The Supreme Court in that case ruled
that the jury instructions were too broad.
In its ruling, the 2nd Circuit said: “The
Supreme Court has made clear that the conduct
to be punished, then, must not only be
made with wrongful intent but also with a
consciousness that the conduct in question
is wrongful.”
It added: “We cannot confidently say
that if a rational jury was properly instructed,
it is clear to us beyond a reasonable
doubt that they would have convicted
Quattrone.”
The appeals court ordered several
changes at any future trial favorable to
Quattrone, including the elimination of one
line of government questioning that it said
went too far and the inclusion of some
Quattrone evidence that was kept out.
The appeals court called Owen a dedicated
judge but ordered the case reassigned,
saying portions of the trial transcript “raise
the concern that certain comments could be
viewed as rising beyond mere impatience
or annoyance.”
Defense lawyers had complained that
Owen limited portions of Quattrone’s testimony
to “yes” and “no” answers. The
appeals court said trial judges “should
allow for complete answers by a defendant,”
particularly when a defendant is testifying
in a criminal trial.
In a statement, prosecutors said they’re
reviewing the ruling and considering their
options.

It’s illogical to think that after missing
almost an entire month of games to start the
season, that either Maria Carrillo or Ukiah
would be in the sort of game-ready shape that
they should be at this time of the year.
If either team has any more three hour, 41
minute marathons like the two battled through
Tuesday in Ukiah, game-ready shape will be
here soon enough.

marred by the cold, wet weather but featuring
spurts of run scoring by each team.

Parker never attempted a dunk like
the two she pulled off in her historymaking

to get the crowd roaring.
George Washington (23-9) trailed
by double digits almost the whole way

the lead to 8-0.
Ukiah got a run on the board in the bottom

PITTSBURG – Brandi McRae hit her second game-winning
RBI in three games as Mendocino College improved to
5-1 in Bay Valley Conference play Tuesday, sweeping a
road doubleheader against Los Medanos College.
The Eagles won the first game, 4-3, in nine innings.
Mendocino won the second game in blowout fashion, 11-0.
“We went out and it was a great battle in that first game,”
said Mendocino head coach Kelvin Chapman. “We were a
little sluggish at the start but we managed to pick it up.”
Mendocino jumped ahead 3-0 in the first game before
Los Medanos battled back to tie the score in the fifth, but a
McRae single to left field in the top of the ninth inning
scored Jenn Carroll for what turned out to be the game winner.
McRae hit a three-run homerun in extra innings of the
Eagles 7-4 win over Cuesta College Sunday.
In the second game, the Eagles dotted 13 hits over five
innings as Los Medanos dropped to 2-3 in BVC play.
Freshman Shylo Rege was the winning pitcher for
Mendocino in both games, and went 4-for-7 at the plate.
Meghan Raddiffe was the losing pitcher in both games for
Los Medanos.
“Shylo is really playing great right now,” Chapman said.
“We’ll ride her as far as she can take us. She’s on the mound
for us at every opportunity.”
Lindsay Ruddick continued her hot hitting with four base
hits in the doubleheader. Ruddick went 8-for-15 at the
Fresno City College Tournament last weekend and is batting
almost .400 on the season.
Sadie Poehlmann and Katy Luetke each banged out two
hits in the second game against Los Medanos.

Artest sparkles
in Kings win
over Seattle
The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO — Ron Artest scored a season-high 34
points and the Sacramento Kings beat the Seattle
SuperSonics 105-96 Tuesday night for their 14th straight
home win.
The Kings’ home-winning streak is tied for the fourth
longest in franchise history. Since Artest joined the team in
late January, the Kings are 11-0 at home with him in the
lineup and 16-9 overall.
Artest made 10 of 18 shots, hit 11 of 15 free throws and
added eight rebounds and six assists.
After going the first 5 1/2 minutes without a point to open
the fourth quarter and seeing its lead dwindle to one point,
Artest made a jumper at the foul line to ignite an 11-4 run
that put Sacramento ahead 99-91 with 3:24 left.
Mike Bibby made the last of his five 3-pointers to give
the Kings a 105-94 lead with 1:38 remaining. Bibby had 30
points and eight assists.
Kenny Thomas had 11 points and 11 rebounds, while
Bonzi Wells added 10 points and Brad Miller finished with
14 rebounds for the Kings, who had lost two straight games.
Ray Allen had 23 points for Seattle, which had won three
of its previous four games. Chris Wilcox had 16 points and
19 rebounds, Rashard Lewis scored 15 and Robert Swift
added 13 points.
The Kings were coming off a pair of road losses and
needed the victory to solidify their hold on the eighth and
final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Sacramento used the inside play of Thomas and a 3pointer
at the buzzer by Artest to finish the third quarter
with an 88-82 lead. The Kings trailed 60-58 at halftime.
Notes: Sacramento made 19 of 20 free throws in the first
half and finished 23-of-29. ... Seattle guard Earl Watson has
a neck injury and did not make the trip. ... Allen and Lewis

The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A winning
record wasn’t enough for
Andy Murray to keep his job
as coach of the Los Angeles
Kings.
General manager Dave
Taylor fired Murray on
Tuesday night, saying the
team wasn’t playing with the
same urgency and passion that
marked the first half of the
season.
Murray sensed it, too, after
the Kings were beaten 5-0 by
Colorado at home Monday
night.
“It’s totally disappointing
that we would be lacking the
sense of urgency that we
needed — to be falling down,
mishandling pucks, having
scoring opportunities but not
being able to get the shot
away, losing too many puck
battles and not getting saves
when we needed them,” he
said.
The loss was the Kings’
fifth defeat in seven games.
“We’ve been outscored
pretty badly and just in general
our play, particularly in
home games, was the biggest
concern for me,” Taylor said
in a conference call.
John Torchetti will become
interim coach Wednesday.
“With John coming aboard,
the players will hear a different
voice and the players will
hear a different perspective,”
Taylor said.
Assistant John Van
Boxmeer was also fired as a
result of the Kings’ weak
power play. He was the other
finalist for the top job when
Murray was hired in June
1999.
Assistants Mark Hardy and
Ray Bennett kept their jobs.
“This is a drastic step, but
we’re looking to turn things
around,” Taylor said. “If we
did nothing, I felt we were
going to continue in this
downward direction.”
The Kings (37-28-5)
entered Tuesday tied with
Edmonton for seventh in the
Western Conference playoff
race, but the Oilers have two
more games remaining than
Los Angeles — including a
home matchup with ninthplace
Vancouver on Tuesday
night. The Canucks started
Tuesday just one point behind
the Kings and Oilers.
“It’s a little odd that we’re
nine games over .500 and
we’re making a coaching
change, but we do have high
expectations for our team,”
Taylor said. “We know we
have to play better down the
stretch.”
After Monday night’s loss,
Murray was asked about the
toll the team’s poor play was
taking on him.
“I’m excited about my job
and I love doing it,” he said.
“I’ll be fired up tomorrow
because if I expect my team to
be energized and ready to go
to work, I’d better make sure
I’m energized myself. I’ve got
some friends who are in the
car business here, and I’m not
ready to get back into that
business yet, so I want to keep
coaching.”
Taylor said he had been
thinking about firing Murray
and Van Boxmeer over the last
20-25 games.
“Our team had competed at
an outstanding level in the
first half of year,” he said.
“Coming out of the Olympic
break, I was hoping with rest
that we might be able to turn
things around. We’ve played
at a .500 rate since then,
which is not good enough.”

SAN ANTONIO — San
Antonio coach Gregg
Popovich’s ejection lit a spark
for the Spurs.
Tony Parker scored 29
points and San Antonio rallied
to beat Golden State 107-96
on Tuesday night.
“We played with more
energy in the second half,”
said reserve guard Beno
Udrih, who scored 13 points.
“(Popovich) got the technicals
and that’s when we said ’Let’s
go, guys. Let’s pick it up,’ and
we got the win.”
The Spurs outscored the
Warriors 49-33 during the
final 17:59 of the game for
their fifth straight win.
Parker added seven assists
for the Spurs (53-14), who
stayed a half-game ahead of
Dallas for the lead in the
Southwest Division and the
best record in the Western
Conference. The Mavericks
defeated Houston on Tuesday.
Tim Duncan had 21 points
and 13 rebounds for the Spurs.

Warriors with 5:59 left in the

The Spurs regained the lead
when Michael Finley’s free
throw made it 67-66 with 3:01

“Coach Popovich is a very
intelligent coach,” said
Warriors guard Derek Fisher,
who scored 27. “He must have
felt that his team needed to get
some emotion while playing
the game.”
Udrih helped San Antonio
pull away early in the fourth
quarter. He gave the Spurs a
79-72 lead with a spinning
layup past Monta Ellis on a
fast-break pass from Manu
Ginobili.
Following Mike
Dunleavy’s layup, Udrih got

Despite getting 21 points

Sherill Baker scored 26 points

Humphrey had 17

Georgia (23-8), which
reached the round of 16 for
the 16th time in 23 NCAA

The inside-outside combination

Baker and Humphrey combined
to shoot 67 percent (22for-33),
but it was the
Bulldogs defense that orchestrated
the 15-0 run that left
Wildcats loss.
“We told them after the
game that we needed to stay
positive, that we can take
something from it,” said
Ukiah head coach Dennis
Busse. “Today we lost the
game in the first two innings,
it was that simple. It also hurts
us that we haven’t been on the

we’ll bounce back. We’ve got

“It just feels good to get

The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Steve Bernier scored two goals and Vesa
Toskala made 33 saves for his first shutout of the season in the
San Jose Sharks’ 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Blues on
Tuesday night.
The Sharks have 78 points, just off the pace for the final
playoff spot in the Western Conference.
San Jose took a 1-0 lead when Jonathan Cheechoo scored
just 4:53 into the game. It was Cheechoo’s 43rd of the season
and moved him within one of the club record set by Owen
Nolan in the 1999-2000 season.
Steve Bernier knocked in a loose rebound off of Patrick
Marleau’s shot just 1:09 into the second period to give the
Sharks a 2-0 lead.
Bernier scored his second of the game at 6:17. Right after
coming out of the penalty box, Bernier took a long pass from
Alyn McCauley and skated in on goalie Reinhard Divis, who
dropped to 0-4.
McCauley gave the Sharks a 4-0 lead when he scored a
short-handed goal with just 8:26 remaining in the game.
Mark Smith scored his eighth goal with 6:27 remaining, and
Nils Ekman closed the scoring with 2:25 left.
Divis made 23 saves in the Blues’ fourth straight loss. It was
his first start since he dropped a 6-3 decision at Anaheim on
Dec. 21.

Bradley, Peoria reveling in return to spotlight
By NANCY ARMOUR
AP National Writer
PEORIA, Ill. — Vaudeville acts.
Politicians. Consumer products. Concert
tours. And now the Bradley Braves.
With their first trip to the NCAA’s
regional semifinals in 50 years, the
Braves are proving yet again that if something
can play in Peoria, it’ll be a hit all
over the country.
“There were a lot of people writing us
off, who didn’t think we should be here,”
said Marcellus Sommerville, Bradley’s
leading scorer and one of four Peoriaarea
natives on the team. “But we’re still
standing.”
The 13th-seeded Braves (22-10)
weren’t given much of a chance in the
NCAA tournament, dissed and dismissed
along with the rest of their Missouri
Valley Conference brethren. (Don’t get
folks here started on Billy Packer.) They
were the middle of the mid-majors at
best, the so-called experts sniffed, not
likely to give power-conference teams
much of a challenge.
Tell that to Kansas and Pitt.
Combining stingy defense with a wellrounded
offense, Bradley upset the
fourth-seeded Jayhawks in the first
round, then easily handled fifth-seeded
Pitt to become the lowest seed since
Oklahoma in 1999 to reach the regional
semifinals. It’s also the Braves’ first trip
to the round of 16 since 1955.
Bradley plays top-seeded Memphis on
Thursday night in Oakland.
“A lot of people were criticizing us,
saying our games were low-scoring, we’d
never be able to score with the big guys.
Well, I think that’s because we play
defense,” said 7-foot center Patrick
O’Bryant. “We pride ourselves on stopping
you, not just plain outscoring you.
“We’re a really good team, and we can
play with anybody out there.”
Basketball has a rich history in this
industrial city in the heart of the
Midwest, best known as the home of
Caterpillar. Bradley has played in two

NCAA championship games, losing to
City College of New York (1950) and La
Salle (1954). It also has four NIT titles,
the most recent in 1982. Peoria High
School won the very first Illinois prep
title, and Central and Manual continue to
be powerhouses. The state playoffs have
been held at Peoria’s Carver Arena since
1996.
But much like the city itself, Bradley’s
squad fell on hard times in the 1970s. A
team accustomed to piling up 20-win seasons
in bunches had its first losing season
since 1954-55 — yes, the same year the
Braves advanced to the NCAA’s regional
semifinals — in 1972-73, and there
would be two more before the decade
was out.
The 1985-86 squad that featured
Hersey Hawkins and now coach Jim Les
went 32-3 and is the last to go undefeated
in the MVC’s regular season, and
Hawkins led Bradley to another MVC
title as a senior in 1988. But the Braves
would follow with five straight losing
seasons.
“I was never familiar with Bradley
basketball until I got here for the state
championship,” said senior Tony
Bennett, who led Chicago Westinghouse
to the Class AA title in 2002. “When a
person said Peoria, the first thing that
came to mind was Central and Manual.”
Peoria is in the midst of a renaissance,
though. The spruced-up riverfront now
boasts restaurants, parks, shops and
O’Brien Field, home of the Cubs’ Single-
A affiliate.
Caterpillar had record profits and revenues
last year. And construction recently
began on a $12 million center to help
entrepreneurs turn ideas into businesses.
When Bob Eid and Duane Greer
opened One World, a coffee shop and
restaurant, across the street from campus
13 years ago, they were about the only
store on the block. Now they’re part of a
bustling neighborhood that will soon
include a Starbucks, the ultimate economic
sign of approval.

“Peoria really embodies the spirit of
the entire country,” Greer said. “Like the
basketball team, we took it hard back in
the 1980s. We’re coming back now.”
Now it’s the Braves’ turn.
When Les returned to his alma mater
four years ago, he envisioned Bradley as
the Midwest version of Gonzaga. A
warm-and-fuzzy story when they made
their spectacular run to the regional finals
in 1999, the small-school ’Zags are now
among the nation’s elite.
“If they can do it, and their school is
eerily similar to ours, sure it can be done
here,” Les said.
It took awhile, though. The Braves
were 40-49 in Les’ first three seasons,
and they started the MVC season 2-4 this
year.
“It’s crazy but all along, I knew we
were a good basketball team,” Les said.
The Braves weren’t lacking for talent.
NBA scouts have been watching
Sommerville (15.6 points and 6.8
rebounds) and O’Bryant (13.6, eight) all
year. The relentless defense limits opponents
to less than 65 points a game, and
40 percent shooting.
Bradley wound up winning nine of its
last 11 regular-season games, and
advanced to the MVC tournament championship,
where it lost to Southern
Illinois.
The Braves were confident they
belonged in the NCAA Tournament field,
although not everyone felt that way.
“No matter where you looked, you
always saw them saying, ‘They’re not
going to make it,”’ O’Bryant said. “I
think we proved a lot of people wrong
this weekend.”
And made a lot of new fans.
One of the feel-good moments of the
tournament so far is the scene of the
Bradley players wading into the stands to
celebrate with their red-clad supporters
Sunday afternoon.
When they returned home later that
day, more than 1,000 people were waiting
for them at the airport.

Pixar’s sale to Disney
animates collectors
of stock certificates
By MICHAEL LIEDTKE
AP Business Writer
SAN FRANCISCO -- Pixar
Animation Studios Inc.’s
upcoming sale to Walt Disney
Co. has inspired an audience
of investors more interested in
buying a piece of paper than a
piece of the $7.4 billion deal.
All these people really
want is one of Pixar’s stock
certificates, the commemorative
scrolls given to shareholders
of the computer animation
pioneer behind hit
movies like “Toy Story” and
“The Incredibles.”
Once Disney absorbs the
company later this spring,
Pixar will stop issuing the colorful
certificates decorated
with “Toy Story” stars Woody
and Buzz Lightyear -- just one
of the reasons why this particular
piece of paper is so treasured.
“It’s like a piece of art,”
said Brian Giboney, who
recently added Pixar to his
collection of stock certificates
from about 100 different companies.
“And it’s not something
that you are going to be
able to buy down the road.”
Giboney, 35, keeps his
Pixar certificate in a safe
place, just like the rest of his
collection, because he
believes the documents will
become more valuable as
computer databases increasingly
replace paper records of
stock ownership. He prizes his
collection so much that he
asked The Associated Press to
withhold his home city to
thwart potential thieves.
Other people like San
Francisco resident Lily Chang
want a Pixar certificate purely
for emotional reasons. She
bought five Pixar shares
shortly after the Jan. 24
announcement of the Disney
sale just so she could get a
stock certificate, which she
tucked into one of her old college
textbooks in hopes of getting
the wrinkles out.
“I feel like a dork because
it feels a bit obsessive,” said
Chang, 36, who once dreamed
of working for Pixar. “I am
never going to be selling this
(certificate) on eBay though.
You can’t put a price on sentiment.”
With the Disney deal looming,
many people are buying
just one share of Pixar stock
because that’s the least expensive
way to get certificates
before they become obsolete.
Pixar’s stock price recently
has been hovering around
$65, but getting a certificate

costs another $35 to $40 in
additional fees at places like
OneShare.com and Frame A
Stock Inc., which specialize in
the service. Throw in the
frame that many people have
been buying to memorialize
the Pixar certificates and the
total cost is closer to $150.
That price hasn’t scared off
buyers at San Francisco-based
OneShare, where orders for
Pixar stock certificates are
running 35 times higher than
the same time last year.
“It’s been like Christmas all
over again for us,” said Byron
Beach, OneShare’s vice president
of marketing.
Pixar sales have tripled at
Frame A Stock, and the Fort
Myers, Fla.-based company
expects demand to accelerate
even more as it steps up its
promotional efforts during the
next month, said President
Tim Stockton.
Stock certificates used to
be the standard way of denoting
ownership in a publicly
held company, but that has
changed dramatically during
the past decade as the securities
industry has shifted to
electronic record-keeping to
reduce costs.
The Depository Trust &
Clearing Corp., which settles
most U.S. stock trades, now
has just 3.4 million stock certificates
in its vaults, down
from roughly 30 million in
1990.
Certificates are expected to
become even more rare with
the passage of a new law last
year in Delaware, where more
than half of the nation’s publicly
traded companies are
incorporated because of the
state’s favorable business
rules. Delaware has dropped a
requirement forcing all companies
to issue stock certificates,
making the choice
optional.
The rise of paperless record
keeping is helping to popularize
scripophily -- the collection
of old stock and bond certificates.
Some of these collectors
are strictly in it for the money,
hoping to come across something
as valuable as vintage
Standard Oil Co. stock certificates
issued in the 19th century.
Some of Standard Oil’s
1873 certificates, signed by
John D. Rockefeller, have
fetched anywhere from
$8,500 to $130,000 apiece,
said Bob Kerstein, who runs
Scripophily.com, which has
become a magnet for collec-

Other collectors are just
looking for a memento that
sums up a particular era.
That’s one reason why the
stock certificates of Enron
Corp. -- an emblem of corporate
scandal -- were recently
listed on Scripophily for
prices ranging from $49.95 to
$375. Enron’s stock disintegrated
in late 2001 when the
company went bankrupt.
It also helps to have a
flashy certificate. That factor
seems to be driving demand
for eToys Inc., a relic of the
dot-com boom that went
bankrupt in 2001. Its ornate
certificate, featuring toys
alongside its red-and-blue
logo, demands $125 to $250.
Even before the Disney
sale, Pixar was among a handful
of companies whose stock
certificates have been a perennial
favorite.
Other high-demand stock
certificates include Harley-
Davidson Inc., Ford Motor
Co., Dreamworks Animation
SKG Inc., Tiffany & Co.,
Coca-Cola Co., Starbucks
Inc., Microsoft Inc. and Apple
Computer Inc.
Except for a few brief periods,
Disney’s stock certificate
has been the top seller at
OneShare since former bond
trader Lance Lee started the
company a decade ago. Since
then, OneShare has sold more
than $20 million in stock, Lee
said.
Disney’s stock certificates
are adorned with drawings of
Mickey Mouse, Tinkerbell
and several other pop culture
icons, making the documents
popular gift items for parents
and grandparents shopping for
children’s gifts with an investment
twist. Because Disney is
buying Pixar with its own
stock, Pixar shareholders will
be eligible to receive a Disney
certificate after the deal is
completed.
Pixar supplanted Disney as
OneShare’s most popular certificate
as soon as the sale was
announced, Beach said. It’s
the longest stretch that any
company besides Disney has
topped OneShare’s sales
charts, which didn’t surprise
Lee.
“If you are a Pixar fan,”
Lee said, “there’s something a
lot more substantial about
buying the company’s stock
certificate instead of getting
some figurine of a character in
one of Pixar’s movies.”

Mickey Mouse gets ready for
Disney’s European cruise vacation
By KELLI KENNEDY
The Associated Press
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Mickey
Mouse is going on a European vacation in the
summer of 2007.
The Disney Cruise Line will sail to Italy,
France and Spain from May to August 2007 as
part of a larger strategy to “chart new waters,”
company officials announced Tuesday.
The Disney Magic will offer eight alternating
10-night and 11-night Mediterranean cruises,
departing from Barcelona, Spain, and stopping
in eight European cities.
Traveling through Europe can be daunting,
especially with small children, company
President Tom McAlpin said. A Disney cruise
takes the guesswork out of what cities to hit,
where to eat and what shows to see, he said.
“The cruise takes care of all of that and people
trust Disney. At the end of the day you
know you’re coming back to the ship and having
five-star dining, great entertainment and
you know your kids are going to have a good
time,” he said.
Disney is considering expanding beyond its
two ships, which have been successful since
they began operating Caribbean voyages in
1998. But “it’s not the right time now,”
McAlpin said.
But the European expansion will have little
impact on the cruise industry overall, an analyst
said. Major players such as Carnival Corp.
and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. already
operate in Europe with cruise lines that cater
specifically to European vacationers.
Even if the unit of The Walt Disney Co.
decided to add a few new ships, it would pale

in comparison to the 16 ships industry leader
Carnival will add in the next four years on top
of its 80 ship fleet, said Craig Parmelee, a credit
analyst for Standard & Poor’s.
Disney’s announcement does come at a time
when the industry is flourishing. Despite
media reports focusing on crime and safety
problems on vessels, bookings are up, according
to the Cruise Lines International
Association. Ticket prices are also returning to
highs set before the recession and Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks.
The association projects the number of
cruise travelers to increase by about 500,000
people from last year, to about 11.7 million.
Trips have become more attractive values
because of larger ships, diverse entertainment
options and onboard innovations with luxury
amenities -- supper clubs, bowling alleys,
afternoon tea, movie theaters.
Disney is a relative latecomer to the industry.
It started with the Magic in 1998. It added
the Disney Wonder later that year and now
offers cruises to the Caribbean, the Bahamas
and its own island, Castaway Cay. The cruise
line caters to a niche family market -- there’s
no gambling, entertainment is family oriented
and Mickey and Minnie mingle with young
guests throughout the voyage.
Disney guests like visiting new places,
McAlpin said. The Magic’s trip last year
through the Mexican Riviera out of Los
Angeles was successful, he said.
Next summer, Disney will also offer two 14night
trans-Atlantic sailings to bookend the
Mediterranean voyages. Rates for the 10- and
11-night cruises start at $2,399 per person.
Google introduces finance
section to catch up with rivals
The Associated Press
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -
- Online search engine leader
Google Inc. is devoting a section
of its Web site to information
about the stock market and
corporate America, filling a
gaping product hole as it continues
to battle for Internet traffic
with rivals Yahoo Inc., MSN
and America Online.
The Mountain View, Calif.based
company plans to unveil
its newest channel Tuesday at
http://finance.google.com.
Many of the Google features,
including stock market quotes
and charts, mirror Yahoo’s
finance section, which has been
available for the past decade.
Yahoo operates the Web’s
most visited finance site with
31.4 million unique visitors
worldwide, according to
comScore Media Metrix.
MSN’s Money section ranked
second with 21.9 million worldwide
visitors followed by AOL’s
finance section with 14.3 million
visitors worldwide,
comScore said.
Web surfers spent on average
of 54 minutes per visit at
Yahoo’s finance section, giving
the company more opportunity
to serve up ads.
Although it’s just trying to
catch up now, Google believes
its finance section eventually
will outshine its rivals.

“We feel this is going to
change the face of finance
sites,” said Marissa Mayer,
Google’s vice president of
search products and user experience.Google
users have long
asked for a finance section, but
the company took its time
developing the service to make
sure it offered something
unique, Mayer said.
The company’s twists
include more interactive stock
charts, quicker access to stories
about events affecting a company’s
stock price and photos of
top corporate executives.
Google also is providing links to
corporate commentary by the

Dear Annie: My boyfriend, “Ned,” and I are
both divorced, in our early 50s, and have been
dating for over six years. Ned lives and works 75
miles from my home but doesn’t mind driving,
so he stays with me every weekend.
Ned has a very small, sparse condo, while my
home is much larger and in a beautiful neighborhood.
Our incomes are just as disproportionate.
He makes a good six figures while I make about
half that. Ned treats me to an occasional dinner
(we usually split them), and he does have the
expense of driving to my house, but other than
that, I buy all the food and household supplies,
pay for the utilities, etc. We even drive my car
while he’s here.
I think Ned should contribute a small amount
toward my expenses. He disagrees, saying that
my costs wouldn’t change that much if he
weren’t here. But I feel as if I am paying to have
a companion.
We’ve talked about moving in together, and
we would probably split the expenses, but he
says, “The time isn’t right.” I think he’s reluctant
because, well, why should he buy the cow when
he gets the milk for free? What do you think? --
Mooing in Pennsylvania
Dear Mooing: Anyone who eats meals and
uses your shower every weekend should help
defray the costs. An occasional dinner would be
OK if he stayed once a month, but otherwise,
that doesn’t really cover it. He may spend $30 on
gas, but what do you spend on groceries, utilities
and the use of your car all weekend?
By the way, if Ned makes twice your salary,
lives in a “small, sparse condo,” and recoils at
the thought of contributing a dime to the expense
of housing him eight days a month, we wonder if

Dear Annie: You recently printed a letter
from “Sober by Choice in Montana,” who
attended many cocktail parties as part of her husband’s
business. She was constantly being asked
why she didn’t drink and if she had “a bun in the
oven.” You told her to hold a drink that looked
like alcohol, which would stop the questions, or
tell people she was the designated driver.
Why must she pretend? If rude questions are
asked, she ought to say, “I’m avoiding alcohol
because I choose to do so. I’m surprised you
would ask.” -- Arizona Reader
Dear Arizona: The problem with being so
forthright is that it could be considered rude to
her husband’s business associates, and it doesn’t
solve the problem of people assuming she is
pregnant. Holding a nonalcoholic drink is the
easiest way to avoid being asked any questions at
all, and most of our readers agreed with that
advice. Here are some who had other suggestions:

planned a major bombing
ahead of national elections.
Israel’s parliamentary election

Palestinian attacks have altered

After chasing down the bomber
halfway from Jerusalem to Tel

extended a closure on the West
Bank and Gaza through election
day.
AP Television News video

removed from the van at gunpoint,
stripped to their underwear,
and forced to lie face
down in a field next to the highway,
arms extended. Sappers
took away a 15-pound bomb,

Poor still pay for
water — to Coke,
Pepsi and other
private companies
MEXICO CITY (AP) —
Violent protests have driven
away corporate investment in
desperately needed municipal
water systems in developing
nations. So the world’s poor
buy bottled water from Coke,
Pepsi and other multinational
companies.
“Water is not for sale,”
demonstrators chanted at the
World Water Forum this
week. But they couldn’t be
more wrong — private companies
make much more
money selling bottled water
than they ever did developing
public water systems.
Companies also stand to benefit
from a renewed push for
big dams in the Third World.
So even though just about
everybody, from CEOs to aid
workers, spoke out against the
privatization of water, the
apparent victory for anti-cor-

sel come back to the board
with an estimate of the number
of hours, and thus wages,
devoted to the abortive
debate.
“I want this body to realize
we’re accountable,” Smith
said. “I think (the staff) took it
seriously. … We have an
obligation to review (the
staff’s work) and we didn’t do
that. (It was) a very irresponsible
action by this body.”
But Delbar said he would
not approve of more staffhours
being spent on a discussion
he never wanted in the
first place. The information
was requested and provided,
and the supervisors made a
decision, he said.
“If Supervisor Smith would
like to bring forward a moratorium
for the coast, I’d be
happy to second that,” he said,
alluding to Smith’s district.
“But I made a decision for my
district.”
County Executive Officer
John Ball later noted that such

make wicker baskets.
“We want people to see the
range of baskets that Hopi
people make,” Ferri said.
The exhibit is exclusive to
Grace Hudson. The bulk of
the pieces are on loan from
other museums, and the
exhibit is being augmented by
pieces from private collectors
in Cleveland and Pasadena. In
all, 200 pieces will be on display.
“By our standards it’s a big
exhibit,” Ferri said.
In addition to baskets, the
show will also include a
woven Hopi marriage robe
and small statues representing
supernatural figures known as
Katsinas.
Baskets and other gifts play
an important role in the Hopi
marriage ceremony, which
can take between five and six
years to complete. Many gifts
are exchanged between the
families of the bride and
groom over this time period.
“It’s a way of involving all
family and friends in the relationship,”
Ferri said.
In Hopi culture, men are
weavers and will weave a
marriage robe for their bride.
The bride keeps this robe for
life and is buried in it.
tice and without a majority
requesting the analysis, Ball
said he was not inclined to do
so in this instance.
The other three supervisors
avowed diligence on their
part, largely saying they had
questions answered previously
and thus did not need the
staff reports.
Supervisor Hal Wagenet
said he thought the executive
office “should have framed
the time costs” to the board,
even though such scrutiny is
not routine. Wagenet added he
hoped the resource breakdown
could be part of future
discussions.
It appears Smith will not
allow the other supervisors to
forget the topic. She vowed to
discuss successful building
moratoriums in rural
California counties at future
meetings. But after reading a
newspaper report from Sutter
County on its building timeout,
Wagenet suggested county
comparisons can be dicey.
Nevertheless, Smith
assured the other supervisors
the moratorium series would
continue.
Seth Freedland can be
reached at udjsf@pacific.net.
In return, the bride and her
family make baskets and other
gifts for the groom and his
family. One of these baskets is
made in a “holding together
pattern” and symbolizes the
binding together of two families.
This basket is supposed
to commend the groom’s soul
to the afterlife when he dies.
In addition to marriage ceremonies,
baskets are also integral
to a ritual known as the
basket dance, which Ferri said
the Hopi believe is important
to the well-being of the world.
At the end of the dance, gifts
are thrown to the crowd; the
baskets are considered the
most valuable and desirable of
these gifts.
The exhibit will also
include photographs of Hopi
people still living in Arizona,
and on April 1, the museum
will host a screening of
“Hopi: Songs of the Fourth
World” by filmmaker Pat
Ferrero, who will be present
to discuss the film. The
screening will be from 1 to 3
p.m. at the Ukiah Civic Center
with a reception to follow at
the museum. Admission to
both events will be free.
The exhibit opens Saturday
and runs until June 25.
Suggested donations are $2
per person and $5 per family.
