Some officers 

patrol by pedal 



For Ukiah Police Department officer 

Tim Marsolan, his hobby is now a 

part of his job. 

“I bike all the time,” he said, standing 

next to one of the department’s 

blue mountain bikes. “This is the first 

time I’ve done this for work though.” 

Besides Marsolan, UPD officers 

Dan Lockart, Chris Long and Dave 

McQueary have saddled up on the 

department’s bicycles for appearances 

Friday evenings at the bimonthly 

Moonlight Movie Madness 

in Alex Thomas Plaza. 

“We’ve been paired up before,” he 

said. “(Dan Lockart) did it last 

Friday.” 

Marsolan said that while the bike 

patrol makes him more available to 

the Ukiahans he deals with on a daily 

basis, it also limits his mobility 

should other officers in the area need 

backup elsewhere. 

“As far as challenges it’s hard to 

get somewhere fast,” he said. “You’re 

focused downtown. It’s doable to try 

to ride around town, but you definitely 

get a workout. The bike is more 

about being exposed to the public. It 

makes for a better relationship. It’s 

more personal. That’s the most fun 

about this assignment: being accessi- 

UKIAH PLANNING COMMISSION 

UPD BIKE PATROL AT COMMUNITY EVENTS 

Sarah Baldik/The Daily Journal 

Ukiah Police Officer Tim Marsolan and other UPD officers have been using bicycles to patrol Ukiah 

events such as Midnight Movie Madness and Taste of Downtown. 

Marsolan pulls out Jr. Officer 

stickers he keeps in his bike 

bag to hand out to children 

when working on bicycle patrol. 

His bike bag also carries first 

aid gear and a spare pair of 

handcuffs. 

ble to the community.” 

Marsolan said the department was 

in the process of deciding how to continue 

the patrol full-time should funding 

from the city allow. 

“It will come down to staffing, 

whether or not we get to keep this 

position,” he said. “Tagging and bur- 

glary are ongoing problems. Taggers 

know if you roll up in a police car. 

They can hear you from a mile away.” 

While an average patrol car has an 

entire trunk to hold the gear associated 

with the day-to-day duties of law 

enforcement officers, a single black 

pouch behind the seat with a black 

“POLICE” patch stitched to it is all 

the room for the extras for those on 

bike patrol. 

“I’ve got a ticket book, gloves, 

rubber gloves, pens, extra handcuffs,” 

said Marsolan, digging through the 

zippered bag. “We’ve got these Ukiah 

Junior Officer stickers. Kids are 

always coming up to you so it’s 

important to have these.” 

Ukiah Police Chief Chris Dewey 

said the appearance of officers like 

Marsolan at downtown events like 

Taste of Downtown, Pumpkinfest and 

Sundays in the Park makes for an 

important link to the community. 

“One of our big goals is to try to be 

more involved in community events,” 

he said. “We’ve staggered shifts so 

we can get Tim and some of the other 

officers on bikes. We haven’t experienced 

an increase in crime downtown, 

but the added police presence is 

helpful.” 

Marsolan said that should the 

patrol come up for a full-time position 

he would be interested in applying. 

“It’s a different kind of patrol,” he 

said.

Voters will elect 5 in November 



With the final day for submitting 

paperwork having come and gone, seven 

candidates have signed up to be considered 

for the Ukiah Valley Sanitation 

District board. 

Theresa McNerlin, analyst and information 

officer; Jason Hooper, business 

consultant; James-John Ronco, land and 

title consultant; Jimmy Rickel, counselor 

and TV producer; David Malarich, sheet 

metal engineer; Clifford Paulin, attorney 

and community activist; and Michael 

Pallesen, project assessment manager 

have all added their names to the list. 

Though seven heeded the call to serve 

in the unpaid position, only the five top 

vote-getters will serve. 

The November election represents the 

first time in its 54-year history that the 

board has been elected instead of 

appointed.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS 

Marijuana law 

changes sought 

By BEN BROWN 


In the wake of a victory at 

the ballot box, the Yes on B 

Coalition petitioned the 

Mendocino County Board of 

Supervisors Tuesday to 

amend an existing ordinance 

to make nuisance charges 

against marijuana growers 

criminal matters rather than 

civil ones. 

The existing ordinance 

declares anyone growing 

more than 25 marijuana plants 

a public nuisance, as well as 

any cultivation within 1,000 

feet of a school. Prosecution is 

handled through civil action, 

either by neighbors or a code 

enforcement officer. 

Speaking for the coalition, 

Ukiah resident Larry 

Puterbaugh asked the board to 

amend the ordinance to classify 

any marijuana that can be 

seen or scented from properties 

adjoining the grow a nuisance 

and make violations of 

the ordinance punishable as 

criminal misdemeanors. 

“Public health and safety 

requires that marijuana should 

be grown only where others 

can’t see it and can’t smell it,” 

he said. 

The coalition was also asking 

the board to adopt an ordinance 

that would make it illegal 

to dispense diesel fuel into 

unsafe tanks. Puterbaugh said 

the diesel necessary to run 

generators at marijuana grows 

is leaking out of unsafe tanks 

and damaging the environment. 

To pay for the enforcement 

of these new ordinances, the 

coalition proposed a Medical 

Marijuana Impact Fee, which 

would be levied against legitimate 

growers of medical marijuana 

on a per-plant basis and 

would require that all medical 

marijuana plants be tagged 

with a numbered zip-tie. 

Failure to purchase zip-ties 

would be treated as a violation 

under the ordinance. 

Jeanette Bouge said making 

the visibility of legitimate 

medical marijuana a crime is 

absurd because it doesn’t take 


Two Ukiah residents were 

arrested on drug possession 

charges early Tuesday morning 

on Lake Mendocino Drive 

after methamphetamine was 

found in their car. 

According to reports from 

the Mendocino County 

Sheriff’s Office, Dorlas 

Heath, 46, and Wayne Pankey, 

50, both of Ukiah, were sitting 

in a car in the 1500 block of 

Lake Mendocino Drive when 

they were approached by 

Potter Valley 

Cemetery 

Dist. board 

expanded 



Due to a unanimous vote 

of the Mendocino County 

Board of Supervisors, the 

Potter Valley Cemetery 

District board has been 

expanded from three to five 

members. 

The vote was taken during 

Tuesday’s regular 

board meeting in the 

board’s chambers at the 

County Administration 

Center, 501 Low Gap 

Road. 

After the item was introduced 

by Board Chairman 

and 2nd District Supervisor 

Jim Wattenburger, 1st 

District Supervisor 

Michael Delbar said a 

smaller board had its own 

set of constraints. 

“You and I both know 

how difficult a three-member 

board is,” said Delbar, 

referring to their current 

membership on the similarly 

expanded Ukiah Valley 

Sanitation District Board. 

“I would move for adoption 

of the resolution 

before us.” 

After the 5-0 vote was 

taken, Delbar moved to, 

and was given approval to, 

appoint Sue Matthews to 

the board, almost immediately 

filling one of the 

newly created positions. 

Kristi Furman, clerk of 

the board, said the other 

position could be filled at a 

later date.

Heath and Pankey were

to sheriff’s reports, and 

deputies asked permission to

search, deputies found a small 

clear-plastic bag which contained 

methamphetamine, 

according to sheriff’s reports. 

Heath and Pankey were 

both arrested on suspicion of 

possession of a controlled 

substance and booked into the

Russian president orders end 

to five-day invasion of Georgia 

TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — Declaring “the aggressor has 

been punished,” the Kremlin ordered a halt Tuesday to Russia’s 

devastating assault on Georgia — five days of air and ground 

attacks that left homes in smoldering ruins and uprooted 

100,000 people. 

Georgia said the bombs and shells were still coming hours 

after the cease-fire was declared, and its President Mikhail 

Saakashvili said Russia’s aim all along was not to gain control 

of two disputed provinces but to “destroy” the smaller nation, a 

former Soviet state and current U.S. ally. 

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, speaking in Moscow, 

said Georgia had paid enough for its attack on South Ossetia, a 

separatist region along the Russian border with close ties to 

Russia. 

“The aggressor has been punished and suffered very significant 

losses. Its military has been disorganized,” Medvedev said. 

Still, the president ordered his defense minister at a televised 

Kremlin meeting: “If there are any emerging hotbeds of resistance 

or any aggressive actions, you should take steps to 

destroy them.” 

Hours later, Saakashvili told reporters that he accepted the 

cease-fire plan negotiated by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. 

US, allies scramble to find ways 

to punish Russia for Georgia invasion 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Scrambling to find ways to punish 

Russia for its invasion of pro-Western Georgia, the United 

States and its allies are considering expelling Moscow from an 

exclusive club of wealthy nations and canceling an upcoming 

joint NATO-Russia military exercise, Bush administration officials 

said Tuesday. 

But with scant leverage in the face of an emboldened 

Moscow, Washington and its friends have been forced to face 

the uncomfortable reality that their options are limited to mainly 

symbolic measures, such as boycotting Russian-hosted meetings 

and events, that may have little or no long-term impact on 

Russia’s behavior, the officials said. 

With the situation on the ground still unclear after Russian 

President Dmitri Medvedev on Tuesday ordered a halt to military 

action in Georgia, U.S. officials were focused primarily on 

confirming a cease-fire and attending to Georgia’s urgent 

humanitarian needs following five days of fierce fighting, 

including Russian attacks on civilian targets. 

“It is very important now that all parties cease fire,” 

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said. “The Georgians have 

agreed to a cease-fire, the Russians need to stop their military 

operations as they have apparently said that they will, but those 

military operations really do now need to stop because calm 

needs to be restored.” 

At the same time, however, President Bush and his top aides 

were engaged in frantic consultations with European and other 

nations over how best to demonstrate their fierce condemnations 

of the Russian operation that began in Georgia’s separatist 

region of South Ossetia, expanded to another disputed area, 

Abkhazia, and ended up on purely Georgian soil. 

Report: Price tag for military 

contractors in Iraq is $85 billion 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Military contracts in the Iraq theater 

have cost taxpayers at least $85 billion, and when it comes 

to providing security, they might not be any cheaper than using 

military personnel, according to a report released Tuesday. 

The Congressional Budget Office report comes on the heels 

of increased scrutiny of contractors in the last year, some of 

whom have been investigated in connection with shooting 

deaths of Iraqis and the accidental electrocutions of U.S. troops. 

The United States has relied more heavily on contractors in 

Iraq than in any other war to provide services ranging from

Business Profile 

School Street Bakery 

Hi I’m Fred Harsh, owner and baker 

of the School Street Bakery at the intersection 

of East Road and School way, in 

Redwood Valley. You may have seen me 

before at Millers Donuts in Ukiah when 

I was the head baker for over 20 years. 

As best I can remember I started 

working there in the summer of 1979 

and was trained by Bill Miller, the original 

Founder of “Millers Donuts.” 

I miss Dave and Gladys Miller. They 

were two of the best friends I’ve ever 

known and I miss talking to my regular 

customers at Millers. 

In early 2004 I took the opportunity 

to buy the School Street Bakery when 

the owner Bernice Thomas was retiring 

Redwood Valley is a great place. The 

folks here are warm and honest. Being a 

baker is hard work; it requires a lot of 

work to prepare the products. 

Of course it takes working all night 

so that when people show up at 7 a.m. 

we have trays of delicious donuts, 

muffins, a variety of croissants and all 

sorts of tasty treats ready. 

Rebecca McCarthy my partner and 

friend, helps me make it all possible 

So if any of you are ever in the 

Redwood Valley area come check us 

out. We have a lot of new products, 

many made to please children and made 

with the same dedication to quality and 

service that I’ve always given. 

For more information, call 485-5120 

Those interested in writing a short, 

first-person account of how they started 

their business can email the information

Mom left in the 

cold when daughter 

changes her mind 

Q: I am 81 and in OK 

health. Shortly after my husband 

died five years ago, at 

my daughter’s insistence, I 

moved in with her and my 

son-in-law. In order to make 

room for me, they added a 

small apartment to their 

home, so I paid them $85,000 

to cover the expense. My 

accountant told me that 

because of the size of the 

check, I had to file a gift tax 

return, which I did. In addition, 

I have paid my daughter 

and son-in-law $850 each 

month for my share of the 

food and utilities. I pay my 

own way otherwise, drive my 

own car, etc. My son, who 

lives more than 1,000 miles 

away, visits and calls only 

occasionally. 

Last week, my daughter 

told me that she and her husband 

were going to sell the 

house and move to the coast, 

and that I would have to go 

into assisted living or move in 

with my son. She told me for 

the first time that my presence 

had put a strain on their marriage. 

I had understood that 

when I gave the money, the 

agreement was that I would 

stay with her until I became so 

ill that I needed a nursing 

home. My income from 

Social Security and retirement 

is $1,600 per month, and I 

have just over $150,000 left in 

certificates of deposit. My son 

says that I should get my 

$85,000 back. He and his 

family don’t have room for 

me. I have lost all of my 

friends and have nowhere to 

turn. I am embarrassed to call 

the local community aging 

office. What can I do, and 

what should I do about my 

will and power of attorney, 

which name my daughter? 

A: While your daughter 

may voluntarily decide to 

return all or part of the “gift” 

you made (which will require 

her to file a gift-tax return if 

she reimburses you more than 

$12,000 in any one year), 

your son’s suggestion that 

your daughter reimburse you 

the $85,000 is probably without 

legal basis, given the gift 

tax return you signed. Your 

CPA should have delved more 

into the purpose of the payment, 

and you should have 

seen a lawyer to prepare 

papers to protect your interests. 

Instead, it appears that 

you made an absolute gift to 

your daughter with no strings 

attached. 

The “agreement” you felt 

you had with your daughter 

was not a written condition of 

the transfer of funds. You filed 

a federal gift-tax return under 

penalty of perjury. Because of 

situations like this, if there is 

an agreement, it should be in 

COMING UP 


Next steps 

By Jan Warner and Jan Collins 

writing and signed by all 

interested parties -- even 

though you are dealing with 

family members and even if 

you don’t think agreements 

should be put in writing. 

With your income and 

remaining assets, you should 

have no problem affording a 

comfortable independent- or 

assisted-living environment 

for a time, but if you live long 

enough and don’t get sick, 

you could well run out of 

money. Since your daughter 

showed she couldn’t be trusted, 

change you power of attorney 

and your will if you don’t 

want her to get an equal share. 

But be careful whom you 

replace her with, since your 

son lives far away and has little 

contact with you, and you 

have no friends in the area. 

Consider making your power 

of attorney effective only if 

you are incapacitated (called a 

springing durable power of 

attorney) and, 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. 

Whom to call? There is certainly 

no stigma attached to 

calling your local aging 

resources; they are there to 

assist elderly people. In fact, 

we believe that this should be 

one of the first calls you 

make. You may want to contact 

independent living and 

assisted living facilities in 

your area and begin taking 

tours to see which one you 

like. It may be a good idea for 

you to spend the weekend in 

one of the facilities to acclimate 

yourself. And maybe a 

lawyer’s letter will dislodge 

some funds from your daughter 

if you are so inclined.

Letters from our readers 

Thank you 

To the Editor: 

An Open Letter to Sheriff Tom 

Allman: 

On Feb. 5, of this year, my husband, 

John P. Champeon, decided to end his life. 

I will never know why, nor will I ever 

understand what makes a person feel so 

helpless and desperate as to take their own 

life. 

I loved my husband so much, and I felt 

so guilty because I didn’t pick up on some 

of his actions that were out of character -of 

course, I see them now. 

The reason for this letter is I want to tell 

you what a very exceptional man Sgt. 

Shannon Barney is. I don’t quite remember 

all the details of that day -- my sister, 

Ginny McGinley was with me and she was 

and still is, very impressed by Sgt. Barney. 

He was very professional, but at the 

same time, very soft spoken and treated me 

like a friend. I felt that he understood my 

grief. You have a very nice, compassionate 

young man on your team, and I just wanted 

to let you know how much my sister and I 

appreciate his kindness. 

Ukiah is fortunate to have Sgt. Shannon 

Barney.

No diversity for him 


The recent letter by Mike Peterson let 

me know others feel as I do. 

Our country peopled by Northern 

Europe folks had the most highest standard 

of living in the world. We are proud of 

who we are. 

Our own government using the 

Constitution toward getting solid voting 

blocks in the schools and on television 

brainwashes each younger age group to 

accept the term diversity as the way to go. 

Every commercial on television and in 

the paper ads show a token mix of races 

and cultures, which is not normal in real 

life. In reality, natural preference of one’s 

own kind is inborn. 

Emily Post said speaking another language 

in mixed company is bad manners. 

As an 84-year-old senior, I have much 

time to observe our town and what is and 

has happened. 

Our preference for people who look and 

act like us is not a dirty word tied to prejudice 

as the media and government new 

rules seem to dictate. 

At 84 years I am noting the privacy and 

rights already gone. My 500-foot driveway 

has “no trespass” posted and even the religious 

groups will get the rock salt or buckshot 

in the windshield. 

I will not let a teenager tell me, when I 

come to the movies, when to come, which 

theater to go in to find a good plot, or 

insult me asking $5 for 10 cents worth of 

popcorn. I bring my own and stay over 

twice to enjoy the movie I choose. 

When the overweight girls at the 

Saturday Senior Dance stop asking me to 

dance, I’ll stay home, counting my pills 

and watch Lawrence Welk. Ugh.

Found new life 

at the animal shelter 


I moved to California from 

Massachusetts on August 10, 2007. I 

missed Massachusetts and wanted to go 

back so badly. I really wanted to help out 

with something to make me used to 

California because I knew this change 

meant a lot to someone who has always 

been there for me, my mother. 

As long as I could remember, I have 

loved animals and felt a bond with them. 

So volunteering was hard to resist... so I 

didn’t resist! 

I have been a teen volunteer at the 

Ukiah shelter for about 5 or 6 months. 

And I’ve learned so much.Things I

wouldn’t trade for a thousand worlds filled 

with gold. 

Because the moments I’ve had are worth 

more than gold. 

During my time at the shelter, I learned 

about heart. 

The whole shelter to me reminds me of 

heart. 

Broken hearts for those sad stories I 

wished I never heard. 

Yet a happy heart for every time a dog 

smiles when they go to a place they can 

finally call home. 

Some of the nicest people I’ve met are 

in the shelter. 

It’s as if the ties of my life have been 

broken. 

Broken to be re-tied into something better. 

And for me, this new shelter family, is 

better. 

On August 10 I marked one year here in 

Ukiah. The longest and best year of my 

life. And the way I celebrated was walking 

into the Ukiah shelter with the biggest 

smile and a cake saying “Thank You.” 

Because I am so thankful.

Plenty for kids to do 


Recently a working mother wrote that 

she could not find activities for her 3-yearold 

son due to her work schedule. As a 

mother of three sons, I would like to say 

that there are plenty of activities for your 

son in Ukiah. After work, take him to a 

playground; Ukiah has nine (four parks, 

five elementary schools.) Bring along a 

Frisbee, soccer ball, plastic bat and whiffle 

ball, and play sports together. Put him on 

his tricycle and take a brisk walk across the 

dam or around the neighborhood. Take 

slow walks to enjoy Ukiah’s fall leaves and 

spring flowers. Be sure to stop by the 

library on Tuesday, Wednesday, or 

Thursday evenings; they have hundreds of 

wonderful children’s books you can borrow 

for free. When winter comes, splash in 

puddles, play basketball with rolled up 

socks and a laundry basket, or turn on 

some music and dance (be sure he has 

maracas, a tambourine, and bongo drums!) 

In the spring, hunt for tadpoles and newts 

in Low Gap Creek. 

There is so much to do in Ukiah on the 

weekends. Free bounce houses, games, and 

snacks are available at Family Fun Days

ROBERT SAMUELSON 

THE WASHINGON POST 

The great 

energy confusion 

Forget about a candid national conversation on 

energy. As John McCain and Barack Obama campaigned 

last week, that much seemed clear. To lower 

oil prices (which were already dropping), Obama proposed 

releasing 10 percent of the Strategic Petroleum 

Reserve. This is an atrocious idea. The SPR was 

intended as insurance against a catastrophic loss of oil 

from wars, embargoes, terrorism or natural disasters. It 

should not be manipulated cynically for political 

advantage. Earlier, McCain suggested suspending the 

18.4-cent-a-gallon federal gasoline tax; that was 

another bad and expedient idea. 

No doubt Obama and McCain want to relieve 

Americans’ discomfort at the pump. The trouble is that 

Americans should feel discomforted. We want a return 

to cheap, secure oil; we want painless pathways to 

lower greenhouse-gas emissions. These are fantasies; 

they should not be indulged. 

In 2006, coal, oil and natural gas provided 85 percent 

of U.S. energy. In 2025, regardless of what we do, 

they will almost certainly remain the leading energy 

sources. We will still import huge volumes of oil and 

face global disruptions. And any serious effort to curb 

oil use and greenhouse gases will require high energy 

prices -- whether imposed by the market or taxes -- to 

induce conservation and conversion to nonfossil fuels. 

Judged by their rhetoric, you might conclude that 

McCain and Obama differ dramatically on energy. 

Actually, their agendas overlap substantially. Both 

advocate a “cap and trade” system to reduce greenhouse 

gases; that’s essentially a tax on fossil fuels, 

though neither describes it that way (candor grade for 

both: D). Both hold out, in similar language, the vision 

of resurgent American technology riding to the rescue. 

To be sure, some contrasts are glaring. McCain and 

most Republicans support more offshore oil and natural-gas 

drilling; most Democrats don’t (Obama has said 

he might consider more offshore drilling). The 

Democrats are deservedly getting pounded on this. Of 

course, “we can’t drill our way out of this problem.” 

But if we don’t increase drilling, import dependence 

will worsen, as production from mature fields ebbs. 

Since 1990, U.S. oil production has dropped 23 percent, 

while imports have gone from 42 percent to 58 

percent of consumption. Greater exploration is common 

sense, as more Americans recognize (Democrats’ 

candor grade: F). 

McCain proposes achieving “strategic independence” 

by 2025 -- a seductive but empty phrase. In 

2025, oil would still represent a third or more of total 

energy use (it was two-fifths in 2006), with more than 

half imported, projects the U.S. Energy Information 

Administration. Although these figures could change, 

dependence on foreign oil is unavoidable. The projection 

already assumes big gains in fuel efficiency (the 

average for new vehicles goes from 25 miles per gallon 

now to almost 37 mpg). But the gains are diminished 

by a 25 percent increase in cars and light trucks, 

mainly reflecting population growth. Even if oil 

imports came mostly from Canada and Mexico, flows 

could still be affected by global disruptions (McCain’s 

candor grade: D). 

It’s easy to exaggerate how quickly new technologies 

can improve our situation. Obama says that we 

can have a million plug-in hybrids averaging 150 

miles a gallon on the road within six years (plug-in 

hybrids run on electricity and gasoline). Sounds 

impressive. But that would be less than one-half of 1 

percent of all vehicles, and the forecast is probably a 

stretch. The battery technology required for plug-in 

hybrids is still not competitive, adding $7,000 to 

$10,000 per vehicle, says Brett Smith of the independent 

Center for Automotive Research. Obama would 

address this problem by providing a $7,000 tax credit 

(in effect: a rebate) on plug-in hybrids. These subsidies 

might go mainly to upper-middle-class buyers, permitting 

them to flaunt their “green” credentials (Obama’s 

candor grade: C). 

We are not powerless, and some policies would help 

more than others. A straight carbon tax, for instance, 

would be better than a complex cap-and-trade program. 

But with a growing population and the existing 

stock of vehicles and buildings, even good policies 

and technological breakthroughs will only gradually 

shift our energy consumption. In the government’s 

projection, renewable energy (wind, solar, some biomass) 

grows seven times faster than average energy 

use; still, it’s only 7 percent of total consumption by 

2030. 

All this can be seen as the messy process by which 

democracies reach consensus. “Crises are the only 

times when we are capable of making difficult decisions,” 

says former Democratic Rep. Phil Sharp, who 

heads the think tank Resources for the Future. High 

pump prices, he says, “are drawing both parties toward 

the center”: Republicans will be more open to regulation, 

Democrats to offshore drilling. The next president 

will find it easier to act. Maybe. But the preamble 

has involved so many exaggerations and simplicities 

that it’s uncertain whether the ultimate response would 

make us better off -- or worse.

Young women are the focus of 

the CW Network’s TV programs 

By TIM RILEY 

Special for the Journal 

Reading the tabloids is no longer necessary 

for knowing about former presidential 

candidate John Edwards’ recent 

visit with his former mistress at a Beverly 

Hills hotel. The only reason to bring this 

up is that this meeting took place in the 

wee hours at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, on 

the penultimate day of the national TV 

critics press tour at the same location. 

Apparently, not one TV journalist caught 

wind of this rendezvous, thereby missing 

the biggest story to emerge from the 

scene of the summer TV press tour. 

Instead, we had to endure the drone of 

TV executives talking incessantly about 

their wonderful slate of new shows for 

the fall season. One of the networks presenting 

its wares at the Beverly Hilton 

was the CW Network, which is known 

affectionately in some circles as the “love 

child” of two former networks, UPN and 

the WB. I know this union has nothing to 

do with a former North Carolina senator, 

but it seems too ironic to ignore altogether. 

Before I digress any further, let’s look 

at where we are now with the CW 

Network, which having dropped “WWE 

Smackdown,” seems more firmly in the 

grip of its target demographic audience, 

namely younger adult women. Dawn 

Ostroff, President of Entertainment at the 

CW, told the gathering of TV critics that 

in assessing the appeal of its shows, the 

network doesn’t look at households, but 

flatly stated that “what we go after is the 

18 to 34 year-old woman.” You can’t 

argue with that point, when it’s obvious 

that the biggest show on the CW is 

“Gossip Girl,” one that I would not watch 

under gunpoint, which is about privileged 

teenage girls at an elite private school in 

the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Even 

the advertising for this show looks a little 

risqué, focusing on steamy sex scenes. 

Adhering to its target demographic, 

COMMUNITY BRIEFS 

USC to present speaker 

from Erle Baum Center on Aug. 29 

Scott Kies, a certified orientation and mobility specialist, and 

vision rehabilitation therapist, will speak at the Ukiah Senior 

Center on Aug. 29, from 1 to 2 p.m. 

The Earle Baum Center is a non-profit that serves the blind 

and visually impaired in areas including daily living skills, orientation 

and mobility, and adaptive technology. Kies will focus 

his presentation on low vision, and what he calls his ‘Trinity:’ 

glare, lighting and contrast. 

There is currently a low vision support group that meets at 

Henny Penny on the fourth Monday of each month, at 10 a.m., 

which covers topics including updates on new research and 

technology that may affect those with vision loss, and tips and 

tricks from the group’s participants on how they cope with day 

to day issues. 

For more information about the Earle Baum Center, either 

call the Center at 523-3222, or visit their Web site at http://earlebaum.org.

public. Drawings will be held for a $5 cash prize, and for a ticket 

to the Ice Cream Social at the Center, for those who attend 

this talk. For more information, call Betty McGlade, coordinator, 

at 467-0960. 

Free tire recycling

It’s time to clean out those old tires, for free. 

Mendocino Solid Waste Management Authority will accept 

old tires for free recycling on Sept. 2 through 14. Households 

can recycle up to 9 passenger or light truck tires per day, without 

charge, at four transfer stations throughout Mendocino 

County. 

There is a 17 inch diameter size limit. No rims are allowed, 

and no tire dealers may participate. 

Locations and dates are:

Call Mon-Thur 8am-5pm Fri 8am - Noon 

one of the CW’s new fall series is 

“Privileged,” the story of one young 

woman navigating the treacherous waters 

of high society in Palm Beach. Twentythree-year-old 

Megan Smith (JoAnna 

Garcia) has a Yale education in journalism 

she’s putting to good use slaving 

away at a tabloid rag. Then, in one whirlwind 

day, she gets fired, meets cosmetics 

mogul Laurel Limoges (Anne Archer), 

and becomes the live-in tutor for Laurel’s 

twin teen granddaughters in the swank 

Florida town. 

“Privileged” has the CW Network 

written all over it, as our young heroine 

gets caught up in the heady world of 

wealth and power. The girls under her 

tutelage aren’t too thrilled, but Megan 

enjoys the perks of a private suite, nice 

car and live-in chef. She catches the eye 

of Will Davis (Brian Hallisay), the superrich 

dilettante who lives on the estate 

next door and just happens to be dating 

Megan’s estranged sister Lily (Kristina 

Apgar). The plot is bound to thicken, and 

if you’re an 18 to 34 year-old female, you 

may want to tune in to “Privileged.” 

Another new series to begin in early 

September is the edgy, contemporary 

spin-off of the iconic drama “Beverly 

Hills, 90210.” The new show is titled 

simply “90210,” because everyone who 

is hip knows this zip code belongs to that 

exclusive Southern California city with 

its pedigree of wealth and prestige. The 

new “90210” looks at life through the 

eyes of Annie Wilson (Shenae Grimes) 

and her brother Dixon (Tristan Wilds), 

whose first day at West Beverly Hills 

High School leaves no doubt they’re not 

in Kansas anymore. 

The Wilson family, including dad 

Harry (Rob Estes) and mom Debbie (Lori 

Loughlin), has relocated to this nice zip 

code to keep an eye on Harry’s mother 

Tabitha (Jessica Walter), a feisty but 

faded former television star and a charter 

member of the Betty Ford Clinic. It’s 


awkward for the new kids at school when 

their dad has taken the job of high school 

principal. Jennie Garth, an original student 

on “Beverly Hills, 90210,” is now 

the beautiful guidance counselor Kelly 

Taylor. Kelly’s former classmate, Donna 

Martin (Tori Spelling, another original 

student), owns a local clothing boutique. 

At the TV critics press tour, it was 

announced that Shannen Doherty’s 

Brenda Walsh will guest star in multiple 

episodes as a successful theater actress 

returning to her alma mater as a guest 

director for the school’s musical production. 

Coming to the schedule at the end of 

October is a new reality show called 

“Stylista.” Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts 

vie for a much-coveted editorial 

job with “Elle” magazine. The contestants 

work as assistants to the magazine’s 

Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey, a 

demanding but well-respected fashion 

icon. The competitors carry out an assistant 

task and a fashion editorial assignment 

in each episode. Each week, Anne 

fires one person, until the last assistant 

standing gets “promoted” to the coveted 

real-life job opportunity. The grand prize 

includes a paid editorial position at 

“Elle,” a paid lease on a great apartment 

in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance, 

all for one year, valued at $100,000. “The 

Devil Wears Prada” should be considered 

required viewing for any prospective 

contestant. 

During her remarks to TV critics, 

Dawn Ostroff announced a reality show 

called “13 – Fear is Real,” which is 

described as “The Blair Witch Project” 

turned into a competition show. The participants 

get bumped off and are never 

seen again, at least on the show. To create 

a spooky climate, the filming takes place 

in the remote bayous of Louisiana. I 

believe the contest winner will get to live 

in a FEMA trailer in Plaquemines Parish. 

South Coast Transfer Station, Fish Rock Road, Gualala, 

closed Monday, Thursday and Friday. 

The program is sponsored by the Mendocino Solid Waste 

Management Authority in cooperation with the transfer station 

operators. 

A grant from the California Integrated Waste Management 

Board supports the program. The free tire amnesty program will 

help households clean up accumulations of used tires, and 

lessen the illegal dumping of tires along roadsides. 

The usual tire recycling fee is waived. Last year, 7,000 tires 

were collected, saving the public more than $21,000 in fees. 

Clean up of old tires is especially important now that West 

Nile Virus has come to Mendocino County. Water collected in 

old tires is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which carry the 

virus.

Recycling Hotline at 468-9704.

ASTROS 12 | GIANTS 4 

Painful night: Giants lose game, Lincecum 

By CHRIS DUNCAN 

Associated Press 

HOUSTON — Lance Berkman 

hit a grand slam in an eight-run seventh 

inning after San Francisco ace 

Tim Lincecum left the game with an 

injured knee and the Houston Astros 

won their sixth straight game, beating 

the Giants 12-4 on Tuesday 

night. 

Lincecum allowed one hit and 

struck out seven before he was hit in 

the right knee by Brad Ausmus’ line 

drive in the fifth. The Giants’ ace 

limped off the field and went for Xrays. 

The Astros hammered four San 

Francisco relievers to blow open 

what had been a tight pitching duel 

between Lincecum and Astros ace 

INSIDE: 

Roy Oswalt (10-8). 

The Giants led 3-2 with one out in 

the seventh when Alex Hinshaw 

walked Ausmus to spark the rally. 

Giants manager Bruce Bochy 

brought in Tyler Walker (4-7) to 

relieve, but pinch-hitter Hunter 

Pence singled and Mark Loretta 

walked to load the bases. 

Left-hander Jack Taschner 

replaced Walker and Darin Erstad 

blooped a two-run single to left and 

Pence scored right on Ausmus’ heels. 

It was a less violent version of the 

end of the Astros’ 5-4 win over the 

New York Mets on Aug. 2, when 

Pence followed Loretta across the 

plate in a three-way collision with 

Mets catcher Ramon Castro. 

Miguel Tejada singled to load the 

Raiders’ TE Miller 

looking to breakout 

................Page 7 

bases again for Berkman, whom 

Lincecum had struck out twice. 

This time, Berkman drove a 3-1 

pitch off the brick facade in left field, 

his 24th homer this season and his 

fourth career regular-season grand 

slam. Berkman has homered in two 

of his last three games after going 33 

games without one. 

Geoff Blum doubled, Geno 

Espelli relieved Taschner and Ty 

Wigginton added a two-run homer to 

right. Wigginton had three RBIs in 

Monday’s 3-1 win, including a solo 

homer. 

Pence added a solo homer and 

Tejada had an RBI double off Espelli 

in the eighth. 

Randy Winn drove in two runs 

and Aaron Rowand hit a solo homer 

Beijing games lacking 

significant buzz 

.....................Page 7 

in the ninth for the Giants. 

Erstad had an RBI double in the 

third and scored on an error by second 

baseman Emmanuel Burriss to 

give Houston a 2-1 lead. 

Lincecum, a .163 hitter, singled 

up the middle in the fourth and 

scored on Winn’s double to right 

center. Lincecum struck out the side 

in the fourth and had all the Astros 

baffled. 

Fred Lewis and Molina started the 

fifth with singles. One out later, 

Oswalt walked John Bowker to load 

the bases and Lewis scored on Rich 

Aurilia’s fly to right to put the Giants 

up 3-2. 

Ausmus led off the Houston fifth 

and drove a 3-1 pitch back to the 

mound. Lincecum tried to dodge it, 

Packers’ QB Rodgers 

gets off to good start 

....................Page 8 

but the ball nailed him on the side of 

his knee. Ausmus was out on the 

play, but Lincecum hit the ground 

and later limped to the dugout. He 

was replaced by Keiichi Yabu, who 

got the last two outs. 

Yabu and Hinshaw held Houston 

scoreless in the sixth, but the Astros 

put together their highest-scoring 

inning of the season in the seventh. 

The Astros have won 10 of their 

last 12 games and have their first sixgame 

winning streak since April 20- 

25. They improved to 60-59, their 

first time over .500 since June 10. 

Notes: Astros 2B Kazuo Matsui 

left after two innings with a sore 

back and was replaced by Loretta. ... 

The Giants have committed 30 errors 

in their last 36 games.

BEIJING — Cancer-stricken Eric 

Shanteau made his Olympic debut 

Tuesday night, easily advancing out of 

the 200-meter breaststroke preliminaries 

just a couple weeks before he will 

undergo surgery. 

Carrying the hopes of cancer survivors 

he’s heard from since going 

public with his diagnosis last month, 

Shanteau smoothly stroked his way 

through the four-lap race and qualified 

seventh in 2 minutes, 10.29 seconds. 

“This was the longest day of my 

life,” he said. “That’s why I’m glad 

finals are in the morning because you 

wake up, you race and you’re not sitting 

around thinking about it all day.” 

Defying conventional medical wisdom, 

Shanteau decided to put off 

surgery to compete in the Olympics, 

but only after being checked repeatedly 

to make sure the cancer wasn’t 

spreading and threatening his chances 

of a full recovery. 

He found out he had testicular cancer 

just weeks before last month’s U.S.

Special to The Daily Journal 

Lakeport -– The penultimate 

points race was held last Saturday at 

the Lakeport Speedway. All four of 

our local classes, the Modifieds, 

Mini-Stocks, Street Stocks, and 

Bombers raced to position themselves 

for the end-of-the-season dash 

for the championship trophies. 

Fans and racers alike got to participate 

in a “who's really got the horsepower” 

Burn-Out contest. Cars were 

stopped against a rail to hold them in 

place, and the drivers had 60 seconds 

to translate raw power into the 

biggest exhibition of noise, exhaust 

flame, and towering columns of 

smoke. 

As always, it was the cheering and 

hollering of the fans that decided the 

outcome. “Cadillac” Pat Sperling 

from Lakeport, in that monster speedway 

Cadillac, came back from defeat 

to win for a second time this season. 

Andy “The Grinch” Norton from 

Lakeport came in second with his No. 

69 Boat Racer, and Robert Taylor 

from Lakeport was third with a Trans- 

Am. 

The Modified fast time of 12.507s 

was set by Bob “Mighty Mouse” 

Strauss from Lucerne. A mid-race 

yellow allowed David Furia from 

Kelseyville to close back up, take the 

lead from Rick Tommila, and carry it 

all the way to the finish of the main 

event. 

The Mini-Stocks fast time of 

13.990s was set by Robert Schmidt 

from Lucerne. The main event was 

led for the first half by Jay Strugnell, 

and then by Robert Schmidt. A laterace 

yellow allowed Don Presler to

Cancer-stricken Shanteau 

makes Olympic debut 

trials, where he upset Brendan Hansen 

to earn a trip to China. 

“It was weird walking on deck,” 

Shanteau said. “I was totally clear — 

not too many nerves, excited, but pretty 

calm. It almost didn’t feel like the 

Olympic Games. That was probably 

good in a sense.” 

He moves on to the semifinals on 

Wednesday morning. The finals are 

Thursday morning. 

Shanteau and the rest of the world’s 

top swimmers got the spotlight to 

themselves on a Michael Phelps-less 

night at the pool. 

With Phelps off snoozing at the athletes’ 

village ahead of two finals

NFL | RAIDERS 

Oakland tight end not 

concerned about catches 

NAPA, Calif. (AP) — If 

JaMarcus Russell was the 

crown jewel of the Oakland 

Raiders’ 2007 draft then tight 

end Zach Miller was their diamond 

in the rough. 

The second-round pick out 

of Arizona State not only 

proved to be a steady downfield 

threat, setting a franchise 

record for rookie tight ends, 

but Miller also developed into 

Oakland’s best blocking tight 

end. 

That he didn’t put up better 

numbers was a result of the 

Raiders needing to capitalize 

on his blocking, a predicament 

Miller finds himself in 

once again as Oakland transitions 

to the Russell era. 

“I take it as whatever is 

going to help the team,” 

Miller said. “Obviously as an 

offense we need to put more 

points on the board than we 

did last year, but teams are 

going to blitz us. There’s 

always a tendency to blitz 

young quarterbacks.” 

Miller caught 44 passes for 

444 yards and three touchdowns 

in 2007, tops among all 

NFL rookie tight ends including 

Greg Olson, the firstround 

pick (31st overall) of 

the Chicago Bears who had 39 

receptions, 391 yards and two 

TDs. 

Yet coach Lane Kiffin 

believes Miller could have 

been an even bigger factor in 

Oakland’s passing game had 

he not been needed to help 

block. 

“If we had been a different 

team last year with the ability 

to pass protect better I think 

he would have had 60, 65 

catches,” Kiffin said. “But we 

kept him in so many times in 

pass protection to help protect 

with our tackles that he wasn’t 

able to get out as much as 

we’d like him to.” 

Oakland’s offensive line 

surrendered 41 sacks last season 

while quarterbacks Josh 

McCown and Daunte 

Culpepper combined for 20 

Shanteau 

Continued from Page 6 

Their effort guaranteed 

lane 4 for Phelps and the rest 

of the relay team, which goes 

for its second consecutive 

Olympic title in an event the 

U.S. has dominated. 

Standing behind the starting 

block for the 200 breast, 

looking down the length of 

the pool, Shanteau had a realization. 

“You hype it up so much in 

your head and then you get 

out there and you’re like, 

’Wow, this is just another 

meet, I’m here to do the same 

thing. It’s no different,”’ he 

said. “But at the same time 

that was still a dream come 

true for me just to be able to 

race in the games.” 

Daniel Gyurta of Hungary 

qualified quickest in 2:08.68, 

erasing Kosuke Kitajima’s 

Olympic record from four 

years ago in Athens. Paolo 

Bossini of Italy was second at 

2:08.98 and teammate Loris 

Facci was third. 

Kitajima, the defending 

champion seeking a sweep of 

the breaststroke events in 

Beijing, qualified sixth-fastest 

in 2:08.89. American Scott 

Spann also moved on in 10th. 

Shanteau was encouraged 

by his time, which was just off 

his personal best. 

“The first one is always the 

worst one to get under your 

belt. I’m just glad that one is 

over with,” he said. “I’m right 

where I need to be. It was 

tough race, but I know there’s 

a little bit more in there.” 

Fresh off his stunning 

anchor leg in the victorious 

400-meter freestyle relay, 

American Jason Lezak 

advanced in the 100 free preliminaries. 

Lezak has some work to 

do, though, if the 32-year-old 

Californian is going to make 

the 100 free final. He moved 

into the semifinals as 11thfastest, 

with a time of 48.33 

seconds. 

That was considerably 

slower than the amazing 

46.06 anchor leg he swam to 

lead the U.S. to a world record 

and gold medal in Monday’s 

relay. He outtouched former 

world record-holder Alain 

Bernard of France at the wall, 

fumbles. Several of the fumbles 

came after the quarterbacks 

were hit in the backfield 

by opposing defensive players 

who easily broke through the 

Raiders’ pass protection. 

The team tried to upgrade 

in the offseason, adding left 

tackle Kwame Harris and resigning 

right tackle Cornell 

Green. Jake Grove, who 

missed half of last season with 

a knee injury, replaces Jeremy 

Newberry at center. 

So far, though, the new 

combination of offensive linemen 

haven’t made much of a 

difference in the pass protection. 

Russell has been pressured 

heavily by Oakland’s 

defense throughout training 

camp and spent a good portion 

of his brief appearance 

against San Francisco last 

week on the run. 

Miller also played sparingly 

and did not catch a pass, 

instead spending much of his 

night blocking. 

“I take great pride in my 

blocking,” Miller said. “I’m a 

lot better than last year. In college 

you don’t play against 

that type of talent every day. 

Here you’re against guys like 

(two-time Pro Bowl defensive 

end) Derrick Burgess all the 

time.” 

Meanwhile Oakland’s 

other tight ends continue to 

jockey for playing time 

behind Miller. Tony Stewart 

has been bothered by a toe 

injury and appears to have 

fallen behind John Madsen for 

the No. 2 tight end spot, while 

Chris Wagner and Darrell 

Strong are longshots to make 

the 53-man roster. 

None of the four compare 

to Miller, though. 

The thing about Zach is we 

do so many things with him,” 

Kiffin said. “I think Zach is 

going to continue to improve 

and will play in this league for 

a long, long time. He does so 

many things that you don’t 

even see.” 

barely preserving Phelps’ run 

at Mark Spitz’s record of 

seven gold medals in a single 

Olympics. 

“It was definitely difficult 

because last night was a finals 

situation,” Lezak said. “I really 

didn’t have the focus I did 

yesterday. I was just looking 

to get out of my heat. I’ve got 

more races ahead of me that 

are more important.” 

Four years ago in Athens, 

Lezak surprisingly failed to 

get out of the 100 free prelims. 

“I just wanted to get to the 

semifinals and not make the 

same mistakes as Athens, so I 

went out hard,” he said. 

Eamon Sullivan of 

Australia, who broke the 

world record on the relay’s 

leadoff leg Monday, was 

fastest of all, at 47.80. 

“I think emotionally it 

probably did take a little bit 

out of me, but I’ve been very 

careful about what I’ve been 

doing and reacting to that,” he 

said. “Just play it down and 

enjoy the moment and focus 

on the days ahead. That’s why 

I was trying to hold back a little 

bit, so I didn’t blow my 

tank and I can swim fast 

tomorrow morning.” 

Stefan Nystrand of Sweden 

was second-quickest in 47.83, 

followed by Canadian Brent 

Hayden (47.84) and Bernard 

(47.85). 

“I’m fourth, knowing that 

at the end I slowed down a bit, 

so everything’s cool,” 

Bernard said. “It was hard 

after losing the race yesterday. 

But afterwards, I realized I am 

happy with the silver medal.” 

Two-time defending champion 

Pieter van den 

Hoogenband of the 

Netherlands moved on in fifth 

with a time of 47.97. 

Like Lezak, Garrett Weber- 

Gale was trying to come down 

from the emotional high of the 

relay that had the Water Cube 

still buzzing a day later. 

Weber-Gale held the eighth 

spot at 48.19 in an event that 

no American has won since 

Matt Biondi in 1988. 

“I was so excited the whole 

day. It was just truly spectacular,” 

he said. “Now we need to 

move on and swim fast. I 

know I’m capable of doing a 

lot, and that’s what I plan on 

doing.”

BEIJING BEAT: Empty seats, 

lack of buzz 

By STEPHEN WILSON 


BEIJING — After the first 

few days of the Beijing 

Games, some cracks have 

appeared in China’s perfect 

party — empty seats at the 

venues, disappointing crowds 

at the Olympic grounds, ticket 

scalping, a lack of buzz 

around the city and even official 

acknowledgment of trickery 

during the opening ceremony. 

International Olympic 

Committee officials urged 

Beijing organizers Tuesday to 

let more people into the 

Olympic Green — the centerpiece 

zone of the games where 

most of the main venues are 

located — and find ways to 

fill up the arenas. 

“We’ve been saying, 

‘You’re missing a great 

opportunity to get more of 

your people in here to celebrate 

your games,”’ said 

Kevan Gosper, vice chairman 

of the IOC’s coordination 

commission for Beijing. “I 

would want to stress how 

important it is for the host city 

that the venues are seen to be 

full and everybody has the 

opportunity to enjoy the festivities.” 

Wang Wei, spokesman for 

the Beijing organizing committee, 

acknowledged there 

were not enough people in the 

green and organizers were 

encouraging more to come. 

Wang said about 40,000 

people passed through the 

area on Monday. The IOC 

suggested the figure should be 

increased to up to 200,000 

daily and that organizers issue 

more passes to allow visitors 

into the green, which covers 

2,856 acres (1,156 hectares) 

in northern Beijing. 

“We have taken this up 

with organizers and the politicians,” 

IOC marketing commission 

chairman and executive 

board member Gerhard 

Heiberg told The Associated 

Press. “They have promised 

an improvement today and 

further improvement tomorrow. 

We hope this is going to 

take place. We need more people 

to have a higher atmosphere.” 

Among those affected were 

the Olympics’ global sponsors, 

who are each paying tens 

of millions of dollars to be 

associated with the games but 

have complained that few vis-

itors have been let through to 

see their pavilions. 

“When I went out, there 

was a small trickle of people 

walking through,” U.S. IOC 

member Bob Ctvrtlik said. 

“Access is difficult and security 

is incredibly tight. At 

some venues it’s surprising 

when there have been sellouts 

and you see quite a few empty 

seats. At the stadiums you 

need warm enthusiastic 

crowds to help create an 

atmosphere for athletes to perform 

at their best.” 

The situation seemed to 

improve throughout the day 

Tuesday. 

“I just went to volleyball 

and it was absolutely rocking,” 

Ctvrtlik said after watching 

the U.S.-Italy and Brazil- 

Serbia men’s games. “It was 

filled. It was a great atmosphere.” 

Chinese organizers have 

boasted for months that all 6.8 

million tickets had been sold. 

Wang admitted that some 

empty seats were being filled 

by volunteers in yellow shirts 

serving as official cheerleaders. 

“The responsibility lies 

with the local venue managers,” 

he said. “If they find 

that there are not enough people, 

or if they find too many 

empty seats, they will organize 

some cheerleaders who 

are volunteers.” 

IOC officials said attendance 

is a regular problem 

during the first week of the 

Olympics and that crowds are 

expected to build up, especially 

when the track and field 

competition begins Friday at 

the 91,000-seat National 

Stadium. 

Wang cited several factors 

for the empty seats — hot, 

humid weather and rain; noshows 

among ticket-holding 

Olympic sponsors and officials; 

fans skipping preliminary-round 

competitions or 

not staying for the entire program 

when events last a full 

day. 

At the same time, there 

have also been reports of illegal 

ticket scalping outside 

venues. 

“We will look into this,” 

Wang said. “We have been 

implementing strict measures 

to prevent the scalping of tickets.” 

Meanwhile, it emerged that 

fake fireworks and lip-synch- 

ing were part of Friday’s spectacular 

opening ceremony — 

an extravaganza watched by a 

global television audience that 

likely surpassed 2 billion 

viewers. 

Fireworks bursting into the 

shape of 29 gigantic footprints 

were shown trudging above 

the Beijing skyline to the 

National Stadium near the 

start of the ceremony. 

Officials confirmed that some 

of the footage shown to TV 

viewers around the world and 

on giant screens inside the stadium 

featured a computergenerated, 

three-dimensional 

image. 

“It was confirmed that previously 

recorded footage was 

provided to the broadcasters 

for convenience and theatrical 

effects — as in many other big 

events,” Wang said. “On the 

day of the ceremony there 

were actual footprints of fireworks 

from the south to the 

north of the city. However, 

because of the poor visibility 

of the night, some previously 

recorded footage may have 

been used.” 

In addition, the tiny, pigtailed 

9-year-old girl in the red 

dress who sang “Ode to the 

Motherland” was lip-synching. 

The real voice belonged 

to a 7-year-old girl who was 

replaced because she was 

deemed not cute enough by a 

member of China’s Politburo. 

“The national interest 

requires that the girl should 

have good looks and a good 

grasp of the song and look 

good on screen,” the ceremony’s 

chief music director, 

Chen Qigang, told Beijing 

Radio. 

China’s Communist Party 

has been eager to present a 

flawless Olympics to the 

world. The buildup to the 

games was embroiled in controversy 

over China’s human 

rights record and air pollution 

in Beijing. 

Since the games started, 

other outside factors have 

undercut some of the hopedfor 

feel-good factor, including 

Saturday’s fatal stabbing at a 

tourist site of a relative of the 

U.S. men’s volleyball coach 

and the outbreak of hostilities 

between Russia and Georgia 

in South Ossettia. The fighting 

undermined the IOC’s traditional 

call for observance of 

an “Olympic Truce” during 

the games.

NFL | PACKERS 

Pack players backing 

By CHRIS JENKINS 


GREEN BAY, Wis. — It 

was the kind of situation that 

made a Pro Bowl player out of 

former seventh-round draft 

pick Donald Driver: a scalding 

pass in heavy traffic 

between the hashmarks, with 

a first down on the line. 

But Driver bobbled it — 

and immediately found Aaron 

Rodgers to apologize. 

“I let a big third-down play 

go early on, I dropped one,” 

Driver said. “After that, I 

went to the sideline and told 

him it was my fault and I told 

him it won’t happen again. He 

knows that, he trusts me, and 

as you see, he kept throwing 

the ball to me.” 

It was a subtle sign of 

respect from Driver, a veteran 

who often called Brett Favre 

his “brother from another 

mother” over the years. But 

Favre is gone now, leaving 

Rodgers to replace one of the 

most popular and productive 

players in franchise history. 

By turning a cold shoulder 

to Favre’s sudden desire to 

unretire and instead send him 

packing in a trade to the New 

York Jets last week, the 

Packers’ front office and 

coach Mike McCarthy put 

their reputations on the line to 

show confidence in Rodgers. 

And Rodgers’ solid showing 

in his preseason debut as 

Favre’s replacement Monday 

night was a first step toward 

winning over skeptical fans, 

even though the Packers went 

on to lose 20-17 to the 

Cincinnati Bengals. 

But Rodgers is most concerned 

about winning the 

respect of his teammates, and 

it was their reaction that 

meant the most to him. 

“After I came out, a lot of 

guys were really positive 

about how I played, which 

feels good,” Rodgers said. “It 

feels good to know that I have 

the support of not only the 

management, which I think 

has been proven in the public 

eye, but the guys as well — 

which is very important to 

me.” 

Rodgers and the Packers’ 

No. 1 offense got off to a 

shaky start. The Packers had 

to punt after a false start, a 

sack and Driver’s drop on 

their first possession. 

Rodgers then drove the 

Packers into Bengals territory 

on their second possession, 

only to throw an interception 

off a deflection when his pass 

hit backup wide receiver 

Chris Francies square in the 

“83” on his chest. 

But Rodgers warmed up 

after that, making several 

impressive plays in leading 

the Packers to a pair of scores: 

A 37-yard field goal by 

Mason Crosby and a 30-yard 

touchdown pass to wide 

receiver James Jones, who 

shook off a hard hit that jarred 

his helmet loose to run to the 

end zone. 

“A couple of balls got away 

from us,” said Jones, who narrowly 

missed hooking up with 

Rodgers for another long 

touchdown earlier in the 

game. “(The) interception, we 

could’ve caught the ball. A 

couple of dropped passes. 

Overall, he played great. He 

led the offense, and that’s all 

we can ask for.” 

Rodgers was relieved by 

rookie Brian Brohm after the 

first quarter, with the Packers 

holding a 10-0 lead. Rodgers 

finished 9-for-15 for 117 

yards — a decent showing, 

especially considering the 

tough spot Rodgers has been 

in for the past month. 

“He was probably more 

excited than anyone else to 

get in front of the home crowd 

and just show ’em what he 

can do,” Driver said. “He 

went out there and played 

well.” 

After quietly waiting for 

his turn during three seasons 

spent mostly on the bench, 

Rodgers spent the offseason 

preparing to take over as the 

starter. But when Favre apparently 

got the “itch” to play 

again in late June, Rodgers 

was sucked into the middle of 

one of the more bizarre and 

bitter splits between a team 

and its star player in recent 

memory. 

Until it became obvious 

early last week that the rift 

between Favre and the 

Packers was beyond repair, 

Rodgers was put under 

intense pressure and began 

playing inconsistently in practice. 

He struggled in the team’s 

“Family Night” scrimmage 

Aug. 3, drawing boos from 

the crowd as Favre — who 

had flown into town that afternoon, 

apparently intent on 

forcing a trade or competing 

with Rodgers for the starting 

job — loomed in a suite overlooking 

the field. 

But Rodgers and the team 

got closure when McCarthy 

said last Tuesday that he wasn’t 

convinced Favre was committed 

to the Packers. Favre 

was traded the next day. 

“I’m very proud of him,” 

Driver said of Rodgers. “I told 

him, ’You’re a better man 

than most people because 

most people wouldn’t be able 

to handle the situation the way 

he handled it.’ He handled it 

just like a grown man and said 

the right things. It seems to 

have worked out for him.” 

After watching Rodgers in 

action, outspoken Bengals 

receiver Chad Johnson said 

moving on might not be so 

bad for the Packers. 

“Favre was very, very 

good,” Johnson said. “He did 

some wonderful things for 

Green Bay. Some wonderful 

things. It was that time. I’m 

not sure, I don’t know the 

entire situation of what really 

went on, but he’s gone. It’s 

Aaron’s time now, and they 

need to give him a chance. 

Don’t compare Aaron 

Rodgers to Brett Favre. He 

has to make his own shoes, 

make his own set of footprints 

and make his own success, but 

I think he’ll be all right. He 

looked pretty good tonight.”

winner, Mike Rose from 

Lakeport. 

The Bomber fast time of 

14.452s was set by Terry 

Pittman. Richie Schwarm Jr. 

held the lead in the main event 

for the first half doggedly pursued 

by Roman Rose and 

George Abella. Rose was outside 

Schwarm in lap 17 when 

they split three-wide around 

the lapped car of Brad Laird 

on the backstretch. This put 

both in bad position and speed 

for turn three, and both broke 

loose and spun creating a big 

pile-up. This left Abella from 

Lakeport in the lead to fend 

off the pursuit of Jon Waner 

and Jimmy Sorrels, to claim

Although your financial 

prospects look particularly 

good in the year ahead, a new

You may have to guard 

against becoming too extravagant 

or wasteful, which 

could dilute your earnings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - 

- It’s your industrious frame 

of mind that helps you earn 

money at this time and wins 

you the respect of your contemporaries. 

You’ll realize 

that if you hope to gain, you 

must work hard. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 

22) -- There are indications 

that companions have muddled 

things a bit, leaving a 

mess for you to clean up. 

However, because challenges 

are a welcome exer- 

cise to you right now, you’ll 

rather enjoy it. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 

23) -- Operate in an atmosphere 

free from outside 

influences and you’ll get far 

more accomplished than you 

had imagined. Now is the 

time to work on whatever is 

important to you. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 

22) -- If you want to make 

your efforts count for something, 

associate with doers. 

Without realizing it, you’ll 

find yourself caught up in 

their enthusiasm and get 

more done than you had 

hoped. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 

23-Dec. 21) -- Ambitious 

aspirations that can lead to 

large gains will inspire you 

to do whatever it takes to 

realize your goals. This will

skillful in getting your facts 

across. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-

changes authored by others 

or outside influences won’t 

upset you at all. You’ll view 

them as positive alterations, 

not disruptive or disturbing 

events. 

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 

20) -- A social function 

could turn out to be far more 

significant than a mere gettogether, 

because someone 

new may enter the scene 

who will turn out to be an 

important person in your 

life. ARIES (March 21-April

Since you are amply 

equipped energetically, 

physically and mentally, you 

will easily accomplish your 

aims.

Dear Annie: I have the sinking feeling that 

my parents, who have been married for 20 

years, don’t love each other anymore. Mom 

and Dad are always insulting each other. They 

never give compliments or even say I love you, 

except on special occasions. Sometimes I think 

the only reason they are together is my brother 

and I. 

I am only 11 years old and can already pick 

up on their disconnection. The main thing I’m 

worried about is divorce and making me pick 

sides. They are very nice to my brother and me, 

but not to each other. Last week, Dad called my 

mom and my brother some not-very-nice 

names, and they stormed out of the house and 

didn’t come home until really late. 

When my parents fight, I feel terrible. I just 

want to jump out the window. Don’t even suggest 

counseling. I already did and they laughed 

and said they don’t need it. I showed them an 

entry in my journal about my feelings and they 

said I’m too young to feel this way. I’m so confused. 

I just want to relax for the rest of the summer, 

but I feel like I have an elephant on my 

shoulders. -- Confused and Frustrated 

Dear Confused: Not all arguing leads to 

divorce, but even so, it’s obvious your parents 

don’t realize how upsetting this is for you. You 

need an advocate. Discuss your concerns with 

a grandparent, favorite relative, your clergyperson 

or a school counselor, and ask one of 

them to talk to your folks about what’s going 

on. We hope it will help. 

Dear Annie: Thousands of motorists risk 

their lives every year trying to outrun trains at 

highway-rail grade crossings. There are more 

than 145 million miles of rail track and over 

153,000 public grade crossings in the United 

States, leaving too many opportunities for

vertical column, horizontal row, and two 

diagonals each ADD to numbers inside 

thick lined cells. 

B. Some correct numbers with their letters

Yesterday’s 

risky behavior. 

Now that kids are out of school for summer 

and younger, less-experienced drivers are 

spending more time behind the wheel, it is an 

ideal time to share safety tips from the 

Association of American Railroads: 

1. Never drive around lowered gates or race 

a train to a crossing. 

2. Always expect a train. 

3. Cross tracks only at designated crossings. 

4. If you suspect a signal is malfunctioning, 

call the 800-number posted near the crossing 

signal. 

5. If your vehicle stalls on a crossing, immediately 

vacate everyone and quickly move 

away from the track in the direction the train is 

coming from. -- Susan Molinari, Mother and 

Former Chair of the House Transportation and 

Infrastructure Committee’s Railroad 

Subcommittee 

Dear Susan Molinari: Thank you for this 

excellent information. Too many tragedies 

have happened around train tracks. We hope 

our readers pay attention to your sound advice.

will eventually grow up and be self-sufficient. 

I have a son with a disability and I believe this 

is also the case with her. 

So many people think a person needs only to 

“grow up,” when in reality, their disability prevents 

them from functioning fully. Many times 

this translates into behavior that is escapism -sleeping 

too much, showing up late, being irresponsible 

in taking charge of their life such as 

paying bills, managing a bank account, etc. 

C.M. should have her son go through an 

assessment. It would help her husband understand 

that what his son needs is guidance. It is 

overwhelmingly detrimental for someone with 

a disability to feel inadequate, stupid or irresponsible 

when, in fact, they are trying to cope 

with something they might not understand 

about themselves. It takes a lot of patience, but 

it is extremely rewarding when a person with a 

disability stabilizes and accepts themselves for 

who they are instead of feeling like a failure. -

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 

TO RECEIVE PROTEST AGAINST MENDOCINO COAST RECREATION AND PARKS 

DISTRICT (MCRPD) ANNEXATION--2008 

8-13/08 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Local Agency Formation Commission of Mendocino County will hold a public 

hearing to receive protest against the LAFCO approved annexation to MCRPD. LAFCO approved the annexation proposal 

on August 4, 2008, subject to the terms and conditions stated in LAFCO Resolution 2008-03, which is available 

for review at the LAFCO Office. The annexation territory encompasses approximately 240 square miles that is within 

the current boundaries of the Fort Bragg Unified School District but that is not now within the boundaries of MCRPD. 

The current northern boundary of MCRPD encompasses approximately the area of the City of Fort Bragg; the territory 

to be annexed is the balance of the area within the School District. A map of the District and the proposed annexation 

territory can be viewed at the LAFCO Office located at 200 S. School St. Ukiah, CA. 

The District has the ability to serve the proposed annexation territory and has historically been de facto serving these 

areas. Historically and presently, residents of the proposed annexation territory have access to and use MCRPD facilities. 

The reason for the proposed annexation is to formally acknowledge this provision of services by including this territory 

within the District. The annexation will not increase the amount of property tax paid by property owners in the 

area. MCRPD will receive a share of future increases in total property tax collections from the area; other agencies that 

receive property tax revenue from the area will not receive less tax funding as a result of this annexation. 

The hearing will be held on September 2, 2008 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. in the City of Ukiah Conference Center, 

Chardonnay Room, 200 S. School St., Ukiah, CA. 

Written protests against this annexation may be filed by owners of land within the annexation area or by registered voters 

residing in the annexation area. Protests may either be mailed to LAFCO of Mendocino County, 200 S.School St. 

Ukiah, CA 95482 or delivered to the Executive Officer of the Local Agency Formation Com-mission at the protest hearing. 

Each protest must state whether it is made by a landowner or a registered voter. If landowner protest it must include 

all the names (if more than one owner) and addresses of the landowners/protestor and street address (if any) 

and Assessor Parcel number identifying the location of the land. A registered voter’s protest must show the name and 

address exactly as it appears on the affidavit of voter registration. Landowners can also protest as registered voters if 

they reside within the annexation territory and are registered to vote. Each written protest must be filed no later than 

the conclusion of the hearing to be considered valid. A form that may be used for protest is provided below. 

PROTEST OF PROPERTY OWNER* PROTEST OF REGISTERED VOTER 

Name of Property Owner, as shown on latest Name and Address of Registered Voter, as shown on 

assessment roll: the affidavit of registration: 

Address or Parcel Number of the Property: 

I hereby protest against the proposal titled: I hereby protest against the proposal titled: 

Mendocino Coast RPD Annexation 2008 Mendocino Coast RPD Annexation 2008 

Print Name: Print Name: 

*Signature: *Signature: 

Date: Date: 

*Protests made on behalf of a property owner by an agent must be accompanied by the owners written authorization of 

the agent with respect to that land. If title is held by more than one person jointly, the protest should bear all their signatures. 

The effect of protests received will be determined within 30 days following the hearing in accordance with Government 

Code Section 57075 and 57078. For more information, please call (707) 463-4470.

Previously, two members 

of the Mendocino County 

Board of Supervisors and one 

member of the Ukiah City 

Council made up the board. 

Board chairman and 2nd 

District Supervisor Jim 

Wattenburger, 1st District 

Supervisor Michael Delbar 

and Ukiah Mayor Doug Crane 

represent the current make-up 

of the board. 

The current members have 

previously expressed their 

frustration at not being able to 

form committees or meet as a 

whole outside meetings due to 

California’s Brown Act. 

The Brown Act was enacted 

in 1953 by the California 

State Legislature in an effort 

to safeguard the public's ability 

to obtain access to and participate 

in local government 

meetings and deliberations. 

The Brown Act solely applies 

to California city and county 

government agencies, boards 

and councils. 

The Ukiah Valley 

Sanitation District was established 

in 1954 by action of the 

Mendocino County Board of 

Supervisors. The district was 

formed to provide public 

sewer service to the urbanized 

fringe outside the Ukiah city

Planning 


Planners. 

According to the meeting’s 

agenda, the project involves 

the redevelopment of the site 

into a larger shopping facility. 

“The Garden Café would 

remain and three additional 

buildings would be constructed,” 

stated the agenda item. 

“The intent of the project is to 

create a small retail center on 

this underutilized property.” 

The project also calls for 

the demolition of an existing 

apartment building on the 

northwest corner of the site, a 

small office building and shed 

on the southern portion of the 

site and the existing “Farm 

Johns” building located on the 

State Street frontage. 

The project would also 

include the development of a 

full parking lot to serve the 

buildings and the addition of 

landscaping throughout. 

In an interoffice memo 

issued on July 15 by Ben 

Kageyama, senior civil engineer, 

the Department of 

Public Works stated it had 

concerns about increased traffic 

danger springing from the 

redevelopment. 

“The proposed project

a greenhouse behind a fence 

but noted that both of her 

neighbors have two-story 

houses and would be able to 

see over her fence from the 

second floor of their homes 

regardless of where the garden 

is planted. 

“They want to make me a 

criminal,” she said. 

Bouge said the proposal 

would force medical marijuana 

patients to participate in 

the medical marijuana identification 

card and zip-tie programs, 

both of which are currently 

voluntary. 

“They want to punish the 

patients, and that’s not right,” 

Bouge said. 

Bouge also said the civil 

procedure ordinance has only 

been in effect for a short time, 


food service to guarding diplomats. About 20 percent of funding 

for operations in Iraq has gone to contractors, the report 

said. Currently, there are at least 190,000 contractors in Iraq, a 

ratio of about one contractor per U.S. service member, the 

report says. The study does not include monetary figures for 

2008, so the total paid to contractors for work in the Iraq theater 

since the invasion of Iraq in 2003 is probably much higher. If 

spending for contractors continues at about the same rate, by the 

end of the year, an estimated $100 billion will have been paid 

to military contractors for operations in Iraq. 

Nancy Pelosi, Michelle Obama, 

Kennedy tribute to kick off convention 

DENVER (AP) — Michelle Obama and House Speaker 

Nancy Pelosi will be the featured first-night speakers at the 

Democratic National Convention, which also will include a 

videotaped message from Massachusetts Sen. Edward 

….has major effects to the 

operation of the Talmage 

Road/South State Street intersection,” 

stated a portion of 

the memo. “The existing driveway 

locations, north and 

south of the Talmage Road 

intersection are in close proximity 

to the intersection. 

Vehicles entering and leaving 

these driveways often conflict 

with queued vehicles at the 

intersection. Any increase in 

traffic to these driveways will 

exacerbate the current situation 

and create a higher potential 

for accidents. We recommend 

a traffic study be prepared 

to evaluate the proposed 

access and make appropriate 

recommendations to mitigate 

impacts due to the project.” 

The memo went on to suggest 

a four-way intersection at 

the intersection of Talmage 

Road and South State Street 

as a possible solution. 

“This would be accomplished 

through modifying the 

existing signalized intersection, 

or creating a new roundabout 

at the intersection,” 

stated a portion of the memo. 

When called by the Ukiah 

Daily Journal, Robert Axt was 

said to be on vacation for the 

remainder of the week.

and it is not known how many 

people have been cited under 

the existing ordinance or how 

many voluntarily complied 

after being spoken to. 

Following public comment, 

the board discussed 

what direction to take with the 

information. Third District 

Supervisor John Pinches said 

he was discouraged to see the 

county focusing on gardens 

between six and 25 plants 

when there are 10,000 plant 

gardens in the county. 

Fifth District Supervisor 

David Colfax agreed and said 

the measure was representative 

of a “proto-vigilante attitude.” 

Board Chairman Jim 

Wattenburger said he would 

bring up the issue on a later 

agenda for further discussion 

and the possible creation of a 

citizens advisory board.

Kennedy. Michelle Obama will be introduced by her brother, 

Craig Robinson, a former basketball star at Princeton and now 

coach at Oregon State, on the first night on Aug. 25. Barack 

Obama’s half sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, also will have a role at 

the convention. Other opening night speakers include Denver 

Mayor John Hickenlooper and Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, 

an early Obama supporter, organizers said Tuesday. 

Pelosi will be recognized for helping lead the Democratic 

Party back to power in Congress, said organizer Jenny Backus. 

“She was in the vanguard of the movement. She recruited a generation 

of young leaders,” Backus said. 

Opening night will also feature a tribute to Kennedy, who has 

taped a five-minute video to air during the party gathering. 

Kennedy suffered a seizure at his Hyannisport, Mass., house on 

May 17 and was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. He 

underwent surgery and recently completed a six-week course of 

chemotherapy and radiation.

in the Cold War — that need to be inspected for leaks of hazardous 

substances that could be making local water undrinkable. 

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has known 

since at least the 1990s that tanks under its supervision around 

the country could be leaking fuel into soil and groundwater, 

according to Associated Press interviews and research. 

The agency knows of at least 150 underground tanks that 

need to be inspected for leaks, according to spokeswoman 

Debbie Wing. FEMA also is trying to determine by September 

whether an additional 124 tanks are underground or above 

ground and whether they are leaking. 

There has been no documentation of reported leaks or harm 

to communities from the FEMA tanks, Wing said, although former 

agency officials and congressional testimony suggest that 

the federal tanks have long been seen as a problem. 

Many of these tanks were built to store 5,000 gallons of 

diesel fuel and placed around the country at the height of the 

Cold War back in the 1960s to fuel electric generators that could 

sustain emergency broadcasts by radio stations in case of a 

nuclear attack or other catastrophe. Made of steel, the tanks 

inevitably rust over time and allow fuel to escape. 

Steel tanks left in the ground for decades rot like Swiss 

cheese, said Pat Coyne, director of business development for 

Environmental Data Resources Inc.
