<strong>The</strong> world briefly<br />
Palin blames ‘Obama-Biden Democrats’<br />
<strong>for</strong> spreading ‘flat-out lies’ about her<br />
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate<br />
Sarah Palin on Thursday blamed supporters of the<br />
Democratic presidential ticket <strong>for</strong> spreading “misin<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
and flat-out lies” about her and her family.<br />
But her spokeswoman said Obama’s campaign was not<br />
responsible, even though a Palin fundraising letter named the<br />
Democratic ticket with the words: “the Obama-Biden<br />
Democrats have been vicious in their attacks directed toward<br />
me, my family and John McCain.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Obama campaign has raised questions about Palin’s<br />
qualifications based on her six years as mayor of Wasilla,<br />
Alaska, and less than two years as governor, but Obama himself<br />
has said her family should be off-limits. He also said he<br />
would fire any staffer who talks about it.<br />
Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella said: “We appreciate the<br />
fact that he came out and condemned this kind of personal<br />
attack.” Asked whether Palin thought Obama or his running<br />
mate, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, were personally responsible <strong>for</strong><br />
the attacks mentioned in the letter, Comella said, “No.”<br />
McCain to accept GOP nomination in<br />
convention finale on ‘town hall’ stage<br />
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — John McCain, a Vietnam POW<br />
turned political rebel, launched his fall campaign <strong>for</strong> the White<br />
House on Thursday in the final act of a Republican National<br />
Convention marked by extraordinary attention on running mate<br />
Sarah Palin.<br />
McCain, 72 and hoping to become the oldest first-term president<br />
in history, faced a delicate assignment: presenting his credentials<br />
as a re<strong>for</strong>mer willing to take on his own party and<br />
stressing his independence from an unpopular President Bush<br />
— all without breaking faith with his Republican base.<br />
Aides suggested he also would trace his career in public service<br />
— including more than five years as a Vietnam prisoner of<br />
war — while drawing stark differences with Democratic candidate<br />
Barack Obama. Among the conflicts: McCain deems the<br />
Iraq war essential to American interests, while Obama has<br />
called <strong>for</strong> a troop withdrawal. McCain and Palin arranged to<br />
depart their convention city immediately after the Arizona senator’s<br />
acceptance speech to fly to Wisconsin <strong>for</strong> an early start<br />
on the final weeks of the White House campaign.<br />
Southeastern states brace <strong>for</strong> Hanna as<br />
planners cast wary eye to Hurricane Ike<br />
WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — Some Southeastern states<br />
declared emergencies and officials urged residents to head<br />
inland Thursday as Tropical Storm Hanna headed toward the<br />
Atlantic coast, where it could bring high winds and rain from<br />
South Carolina all the way to Maine.<br />
Meanwhile, disaster planners cast a wary eye to a suddenly<br />
ferocious-looking Hurricane Ike strengthening in the Atlantic.<br />
And with power outages and other problems from Hurricane<br />
Gustav still lingering in Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi,<br />
the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other relief<br />
groups found themselves juggling responses to three storms.<br />
Rain and wind from Hanna could start as early as <strong>Friday</strong><br />
night in the South, where some residents shuttered houses and<br />
stocked up on food and sandbags, coastal parks closed and<br />
schools canceled events and changed sports schedules. Watches<br />
and warnings were issued from Georgia to near Atlantic City,<br />
N.J. Officials did not order people from their homes in advance<br />
of the storm, which was expected to make landfall early<br />
Saturday. Forecasters said it was expected to strengthen only<br />
slightly, though it still could become a hurricane.<br />
<strong>The</strong> governors of Virginia and North Carolina declared states<br />
of emergency, freeing up state resources <strong>for</strong> storm response.<br />
South Carolina opened several emergency shelters and restricted<br />
port hours and Gov. Mark San<strong>for</strong>d urged people to leave<br />
flood-prone areas and mobile homes in two northern counties<br />
by <strong>Friday</strong> afternoon.<br />

Employment<br />
assistance especially<br />
relevant today<br />
Reading the newspaper<br />
every day, I regularly come<br />
across some new piece of<br />
troubling economic news. It<br />
has made me wonder how the<br />
national trends are reflected in<br />
our local economy. For some<br />
insights I spoke with Yolanda<br />
Lopez, a case manager at the<br />
Mendocino Private Industry<br />
Council. Yolanda and her coworkers<br />
occasionally use the<br />
Community Foundation’s<br />
Angel Fund to assist their<br />
clients, and I know they are<br />
seeing first-hand how the<br />
economy is affecting people<br />
in our county.<br />
Yolanda comes to MPIC<br />
from the private sector where<br />
she worked <strong>for</strong> AT&T <strong>for</strong> thirty-two<br />
years. Her “retirement”<br />
was short lived. “I<br />
made an ef<strong>for</strong>t to stay retired,”<br />
she told me. “I took an<br />
accounting class, adopted<br />
Chihuahua puppies, and made<br />
Christmas tamales with my<br />
mother. But when all was said<br />
and done, I missed the routine<br />
of work.”<br />
Yolanda explained how<br />
MPIC operates. It is federally<br />
funded through the Work<strong>for</strong>ce<br />
Investment Act, with the purpose<br />
of helping people to find<br />
jobs. MPIC employees work<br />
closely with the career technical<br />
education programs, such<br />
as ROP, and with the local<br />
community colleges. Some of<br />
the more common<br />
training/educational programs<br />
include medical and dental<br />
assistant, phlebotomist, nurse<br />
(RN and LVN) and truck dri-<br />

ver. “One of the biggest obstacles,<br />
especially <strong>for</strong> our older<br />
clients, is keeping up with<br />
advances in technology,” she<br />
told me. “We often help them<br />
upgrade their computer skills.<br />
Once the client has completed<br />
the training, MPIC also assists<br />
with the job search process.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> changes in the economy<br />
have had an impact on<br />
MPIC and its clients. Yolanda<br />
told me the resource room<br />
where the job search computers<br />
are located have been very<br />
full lately. “Sometimes there<br />
is standing room only with<br />
people waiting <strong>for</strong> computers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> emergency extension of<br />
unemployment benefits has<br />
helped. It used to be it would<br />
take people four to six months<br />
to find a job. Lately, that has<br />
increased to eight or ten<br />
months.”<br />

Reflections of a Barefoot Artist<br />
Bringing healing, self-empowerment<br />
and social change through the arts<br />
By DAVID SMITH-FERRI<br />
Special <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Journal</strong><br />
Too often, news coverage of world<br />
events fails to portray the possibilities<br />
<strong>for</strong> creative solutions to pressing problems,<br />
especially problems of poverty<br />
and violence.<br />
We long <strong>for</strong> opportunities to hear<br />
from people who are involved in effective,<br />
hands-on projects within communities<br />
that seek such solutions.<br />
Here in the <strong>Ukiah</strong> Valley, we have<br />
this opportunity when Dr. Lily Yeh<br />
speaks at 7:30 p.m. this Saturday, at the<br />
Buddha Hall at the City of Ten<br />
Thousand Buddhas (2001 Talmage<br />
Road, Talmage).<br />
Yeh is an artist. Twenty years of<br />
experience working with people to revitalize<br />
dilapidated communities in northern<br />
Philadelphia and other U.S. cities<br />
taught her that creativity and beauty are<br />
powerful tools to bring on healing and<br />
change.<br />
Now, through Barefoot Artists, Inc.<br />

Foster parents sought<br />
<strong>for</strong> Multidimensional<br />
Treatment Foster Care Program<br />
Redwood Children’s Services is seeking foster parents <strong>for</strong><br />
the new Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care program<br />
which provides intensive treatment and close supervision <strong>for</strong><br />
troubled teens 12 to 18 years of age who have emotional and<br />
behavioral challenges. In the context of loving and stable<br />
homes children learn new ways of behavior that are acceptable<br />
in school and the community. <strong>The</strong>y learn what it feels like to<br />
succeed.<br />
Foster parents will receive training in a structured behavioral<br />
management system that can teach youth how to make better<br />
choices when dealing with the challenges of growing up today.<br />
<strong>The</strong> program goals are to provide close supervision, clear consistent<br />
limits to behavior and fair consequences using a points<br />
and level system of earning privileges.<br />
<strong>The</strong> foster parents will attend weekly support meetings and<br />
have the support of staff 24/7 to insure that the youth is making<br />
progress toward family unification. This is a short term commitment<br />
to one youth <strong>for</strong> 7 to 9 months and requires one parent<br />
be available <strong>for</strong> transportation, meetings and other program<br />
requirements during the day.<br />
This program provides a tax exempt stipend of $2,500 per<br />
month due to the level of training and supervision required.<br />
This new program offers caring adults the opportunity to<br />
become part of a professional team making a difference it the<br />
life of a teen from the community. Call Foster Parent Recruiter,<br />
Susan Boling, at 467-2000 <strong>for</strong> more specific program in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

projects fosters a sense community pride<br />

Circus not fun <strong>for</strong> animals<br />
To the Editor:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Carson & Barnes circus travels to<br />
180 to 200 towns each year. <strong>The</strong> animals<br />
who travel with them spend their lives in<br />
cages or on chains, and are taught to per<strong>for</strong>m<br />
by using bullhooks and electric cattle<br />
prods. For intelligent, emotionally complex<br />
animals with highly developed social<br />
natures, it’s a life of great hardship<br />
endured <strong>for</strong> the purpose of an hour’s entertainment<br />
<strong>for</strong> people who have no idea<br />
what really happens behind the scenes.<br />
Carson & Barnes have failed repeatedly<br />
to meet minimal federal standards <strong>for</strong> the<br />
care of animals used in exhibition as<br />
established in the Animal Welfare Act. <strong>The</strong><br />
USDA has cited them <strong>for</strong> failure to provide<br />
veterinary care and minimum space,<br />
<strong>for</strong> failure to provide shelter from the elements,<br />
<strong>for</strong> failure to provide transport<br />
trailers, <strong>for</strong> inadequate ventilation, <strong>for</strong><br />
unsound fences and rusty animal cages,<br />
<strong>for</strong> giving their animals unclean water and<br />
<strong>for</strong> failure to keep animal care records.<br />
Please do not support these events.<br />

To the Editor:<br />
I am a licensed animal health technician.<br />
I am a <strong>for</strong>mer chairman <strong>for</strong> the<br />
Animal Commission <strong>for</strong> San Francisco. I<br />
am a <strong>for</strong>mer inspector <strong>for</strong> the United<br />
States Department of Agriculture <strong>for</strong><br />
Animal Welfare. I did inspect circuses and<br />
zoos. What was the last inspection of this<br />
circus on their home base and of the animals<br />
at least three different traveling sites?<br />
Has a veterinarian who is not part of the<br />
staff completed an inspection be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
allowing the circus to stop in our County<br />
of Mendocino? In the year 2008, we need<br />
to expect nothing less. <strong>The</strong> numbers of<br />
exotic animals left in the wild has been in<br />
rapid reduction <strong>for</strong> years. <strong>The</strong> quality of<br />
care of these exotic animals in captivity<br />
has not been up to the standards expected,<br />
with <strong>The</strong> San Francisco Zoo’s serious incident<br />
of last December showing how careless<br />
the care and safety with dangerous<br />
and rare animals has been. No circus with<br />
live animals anymore.<br />

Lies do not<br />
promote democracy<br />
To the Editor:<br />
It is an incredible blow to our democracy<br />
when people like Jerome Robert Corsi,<br />
a controversial conservative author who<br />
wrote “<strong>The</strong> Obama Nation”can affect the<br />
outcome of elections with open lies and<br />
fabrications. Free speech is one thing; I<br />
understand that. But why there are no<br />
legal repercussions <strong>for</strong> deliberate outright<br />
lies is beyond me. That this man gets<br />
away with this is infuriating. I personally<br />
will do everything in my power to punish<br />
the publisher and anyone else associated<br />
with or contributing to this purely open<br />
attack against our democracy.<br />

To the Editor:<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was a gentleman a few weeks<br />
ago questioning why the <strong>Ukiah</strong> City<br />
Police use cell phones while driving, yet it<br />
is illegal. I went on another ride-along<br />
with the <strong>Ukiah</strong> Police Department last<br />
week. While they are driving, they are<br />
watching <strong>for</strong> people breaking the law,<br />
looking <strong>for</strong> wanted people, monitoring the<br />
Sheriff’s Department, the Police<br />
Department, the CHP and at the same<br />
time, talking to another officer about<br />
something that they may not want to put<br />
over the radio. I would suggest that that<br />
gentleman go on a ride along with the<br />
Police Department and he would find out<br />
what really goes on during a shift. We<br />
have a pretty darn good Police Department<br />
and are lucky we have them.<br />

Prop. 11<br />
looking good<br />
<strong>The</strong> Monterey<br />
County Herald<br />
If you are following the<br />
current train wreck of a budget<br />
process in Sacramento,<br />
you may be looking <strong>for</strong>ward<br />
to November and your<br />
opportunity to toss the bums<br />
out of office.<br />
Sorry to be the spoilsport,<br />
but you can <strong>for</strong>get about it.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re may be plenty of<br />
bums ripe <strong>for</strong> tossing, but<br />
they're either not on the<br />
November ballot or they're<br />
such lopsided favorites that<br />
they stand almost no chance<br />
of actually being tossed.<br />
Though it is a big, general<br />
election, there are a only<br />
handful of open legislative<br />
seats up <strong>for</strong> grabs in<br />
November and none of the<br />
incumbents on the ballot<br />
faces any more than token<br />
opposition.<br />
For an example of how it<br />
works, look no further than<br />
the 27th Assembly District,<br />
which includes the liberal<br />
west sides of Monterey and<br />
Santa Cruz counties.<br />
When Democrat Bill<br />
Monning won his party's<br />
nomination in the 27th in<br />
June, his victory in<br />
November was all but guaranteed.<br />
To assess how safe<br />
the district is <strong>for</strong> a<br />
Democrat, here's a little<br />
quiz. Can you name his<br />
Republican opponent?<br />

dominant party, remain in<br />
office as long as possible.<br />
So what does this have to<br />
do with the budget mess?<br />
Simply this. <strong>The</strong> Democrats<br />
and Republicans who have<br />
shown themselves incapable<br />
of making any of the tough<br />
decisions to craft a budget<br />
this year are in virtually no<br />
danger of being held<br />
accountable because they<br />
have a lock on re-election,<br />
no matter how severely they<br />
mangle state finances.<br />
At times like this, the<br />
governor and others give<br />
heavy lip service to the need<br />
<strong>for</strong> budget re<strong>for</strong>m, and they<br />
are partly right. Cali<strong>for</strong>nia's<br />
budgeting process is almost<br />
entirely political, not at all<br />
professional.<br />
<strong>The</strong> requirement that a<br />
budget receive approval<br />
from two-thirds of the legislators<br />
almost guarantees<br />
budgetary paralysis whenever<br />
deficits loom.<br />
Combine all the factors<br />
and Republican legislators<br />
can get away with irresponsible<br />
grandstanding, signing<br />
pledges not to support any<br />
tax increases even though<br />
they have been unable to<br />
make any practical suggestions<br />
on where to cut spending<br />
instead.<br />
But the need <strong>for</strong> re<strong>for</strong>m is<br />
almost as obvious in the<br />
arena of redistricting. Which<br />
is why Proposition 11 on the<br />

November ballot is looking<br />
like a better and better idea.<br />
Proposition 11 is the work of<br />
groups such as the League<br />
of Women Voters and<br />
AARP. It would take boundary-drawing<br />
power away<br />
from the politicos and give it<br />
to an independent citizens<br />
commission.<br />
It is, most likely, an<br />
imperfect alternative. But, at<br />
first blush, at least, it seems<br />
preferable to the system that<br />
is threatening to make legislative<br />
elections, and perhaps<br />
even the Legislature,<br />
irrelevant.<br />
Gov. Arnold<br />
Schwarzenegger is supporting<br />
Proposition 11 because<br />
he understands the role gerrymandering<br />
has played in<br />
the budget mess. Just as significantly,<br />
the opposition is<br />
being led by Sen. Don<br />
Perata, the termed-out<br />
Oakland Democrat.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sacramento Bee<br />
reported this week that the<br />
correctional officers union<br />
has donated $577,000 to a<br />
Perata fund that will be used<br />
to combat Proposition 11.<br />
<strong>The</strong> union, of course, has<br />
spent years and millions<br />
helping to build a<br />
Legislature to its liking. It<br />
has much to fear from a<br />
more logical approach.<br />
Is this an endorsement <strong>for</strong><br />
Proposition 11? Not quite.<br />
<strong>The</strong> measure's weaknesses<br />
have not yet been fully balanced<br />
against its strengths.<br />
But it is a call <strong>for</strong> those who<br />
want professional governance<br />
in Cali<strong>for</strong>nia to keep<br />
an eye out <strong>for</strong> connections<br />
and motives that may not be<br />
obvious when Perata and the<br />
other pols start attacking it.<br />

From the desk of ...<br />
John McCain, who is in what Macbeth called “the<br />
sear, the yellow leaf” of life, has revived an oldie from<br />
seven elections ago with a campaign commercial<br />
asserting: “We’re worse off than we were four years<br />
ago.” This, of course, derives from Ronald Reagan’s<br />
question, addressed to the nation with devastating<br />
effect on his opponent, during Reagan’s debate with<br />
President Jimmy Carter in 1980.<br />
<strong>The</strong> nation considered the answer obvious. Reeling<br />
from oil shocks worse than today’s, with 52 U.S.<br />
hostages in Tehran and with the Soviet Union rampant<br />
in Afghanistan, voters resoundingly said “no.” Today<br />
we know that the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan hastened<br />
the collapse of the Evil Empire, so some things<br />
that seem to make us worse off are not unmixed curses.<br />
Imitation is the sincerest <strong>for</strong>m of politics and in<br />
1996 President Bill Clinton, seeking re-election, urged<br />
voters to ask themselves whether they were better off<br />
than they were four years earlier. Today we know that<br />
the nation’s affirmative answer reflected the beguiling<br />
beginning of what turned out to be the tech stock bubble,<br />
so some things that seem to make us better off are<br />
not unmixed blessings.<br />
McCain recasts Reagan’s question as an assertion in<br />
order to pander to the public’s dyspepsia and distance<br />
himself from George Bush. Enough.<br />
In contemporary politics, nothing succeeds like<br />
excess, so permutations of Reagan’s trope are going to<br />
recur. <strong>The</strong>re<strong>for</strong>e, it is time to consider its deficiencies,<br />
which are symptomatic of a desiccated mentality.<br />
Un<strong>for</strong>tunately, the phrase “better off” is generally<br />
understood as a reference to your salary, your bank<br />
balance, your IRA and the like. But wait. Are you better<br />
off being four years older? That depends.<br />
If you are young, since 2004 you might have found<br />
romance, had children, learned to fly-fish and become<br />
a Tampa Bay Rays fan. In which case you emphatically<br />
are better off, even if since 2004 there has been only<br />
a 0.6 percent increase -- yes, increase -- in the median<br />
value of single-family homes.<br />
If you are near “the sear, the yellow leaf” of life, in<br />
the last four years your expected remaining years of<br />
life have declined. But that does not mean you cannot<br />
be better off.<br />
Suppose in those years you read “Middlemarch,”<br />
rediscovered Fred Astaire’s movies, took up fly-fishing,<br />
saw Chartres and acquired grandchildren. Even if<br />
the value of your stock portfolio is down since 2004<br />
(the Dow actually is up), are you not decidedly better<br />
off?<br />
<strong>The</strong> late Herb Stein, one of Washington’s wisest<br />
practitioners in the field of applied philosophy, aka<br />
economics, criticized the “are you better off” question<br />
by noting that “everyone has a certain asset, which is<br />
the present value of his expected future life.” But “all<br />
years are not alike.” <strong>The</strong> years that come later in life<br />
can have special richness because one has learned<br />
things that enable one to appreciate each year more.<br />
Stein noted that the question about being “better<br />
off” is thought to be about facts rather than feelings.<br />
But feelings are facts. Facts such as delight, serenity<br />
and gratitude have values not easily priced in cash.<br />
<strong>The</strong> people asking and those answering the “better<br />
off” question seem to assume that the only facts that<br />
matter are those that can be expressed as economic statistics.<br />
Statistics are fine as far as they go, but they do<br />
not go very far in measuring life as actually lived.<br />
We do, un<strong>for</strong>tunately, live, as Edmund Burke<br />
lamented, in an age of “economists and calculators”<br />
who are eager to reduce all things to the dust of numeracy,<br />
neglecting what Burke called “the decent drapery<br />
of life.” In this supposedly rational and scientific age,<br />
the thirst <strong>for</strong> simple metrics seduces people into a preoccupation<br />
with things that lend themselves to quantification.<br />
Self-consciously “modern” people have an urge to<br />
reduce assessments of their lives to things that can be<br />
presented in tables, charts and graphs -- personal and<br />
national economic statistics. This sharpens their minds<br />
by narrowing them. Such people might as well measure<br />
out their lives in coffee spoons.<br />
In 1934, long be<strong>for</strong>e mankind strode jauntily into<br />
what it contentedly calls “the in<strong>for</strong>mation age,” T.S.<br />
Eliot asked:<br />
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?<br />
Where is the knowledge we have lost in in<strong>for</strong>mation?<br />
So, are you better off than you were four years ago?<br />
That depends. On what? That, too, depends.<br />

used by MPIC Case Workers<br />
<strong>for</strong> clients who need a little<br />
assistance to help them with<br />
their new employment.<br />
Recently a woman had just<br />
graduated from an LVN program<br />
and was waiting <strong>for</strong> her<br />
license in order to begin work.<br />
Due to bureaucratic problems<br />
beyond her control, she had to<br />
wait eight weeks to get her the<br />
license that would allow her to<br />
begin her new job. <strong>The</strong> Angel<br />
Fund helped to bridge the<br />
financial gap during this period.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Angel Fund has also<br />
helped MPIC clients who<br />
needed to buy work clothes or<br />
to get their automobiles<br />
repaired in order to participate<br />
in training programs out of the<br />
area.<br />
“I like my work,” Yolanda<br />
told me. “It’s rewarding<br />
because you are able to help<br />
people. Sometimes you see<br />
people who have had everything<br />
go wrong <strong>for</strong> them. I am<br />
a good listener and can sense<br />
when one of my clients is<br />
close to breaking down. I<br />
know that psychologically<br />
they can’t take one more setback.<br />

Did you want the berry sauce<br />
on that pizza? or tomato day<br />
We are passing the midway<br />
point in the local tomato<br />
season.<br />
If you were not aware that<br />
tomato season is zooming<br />
past your doorstep, you need<br />
to get to your local farmers’<br />
market more often. At tomorrow’s<br />
market we celebrate the<br />
healthy, tasty and, some<br />
might even say, sexy tomato<br />
with a tasting.<br />
Tomatoes are indeed<br />
loaded with healthy things. A<br />
single, fresh medium red<br />
tomato provides about 32<br />
percent of the recommended<br />
daily value of vitamin C, plus<br />
25 percent of vitamin A, 15<br />
percent of vitamin K, 10 percent<br />
of potassium, 7 percent<br />
of fiber and 6 percent of vitamin<br />
B6.<br />
Tomatoes are also particularly<br />
rich in the phytonutrient<br />
lycopene, which studies suggest<br />
may help protect us from<br />
a wide range of cancers and<br />
reduce the risk of heart<br />
attack. You get more<br />
lycopene from your tomatoes<br />
when they are cooked, which<br />
provides a nice cover story<br />
<strong>for</strong> that occasional slice of<br />
pizza.<br />
Botanically the tomato is a<br />
fruit. Indeed, it is a berry.<br />
However, in resolving litigation<br />
about the Tariff Act of<br />
1883, which imposed a fee<br />
on vegetables but not fruits,<br />
the U.S. Supreme Court<br />
decreed that legislative intent<br />
and common usage justified<br />
declaring the tomato a vegetable<br />
<strong>for</strong> the purpose of<br />
imposing fees under the tariff.<br />
In Arkansas, the tomato is<br />
both the state fruit and the<br />
state vegetable. See how<br />
accommodating the tomato<br />
can be? It is also the weapon<br />
of choice in the world’s<br />
largest food fight, La<br />
Tomatina.<br />
It is reported that there are<br />
around 7,500 varieties of<br />
tomato. We don’t have all of<br />
them at the <strong>Ukiah</strong> farmer’s<br />
market. But, we have quite a<br />
few.<br />
Tomorrow, you should find<br />
the following twelve local<br />
farms offering fresh local<br />
tomatoes: Calderas Farmers,<br />

We don’t have a prize if<br />
you collect them all, but you<br />
might just have fun anyway<br />
seeing how many you can<br />
find. Join us under the pavilion<br />
to try a few. Have I mentioned<br />
that there is no beating<br />
the variety at the farmer’s<br />
market?<br />
<strong>The</strong> more you support our<br />
local small farmers, the<br />
greater that variety will<br />
become over time and the<br />
easier it will become to preserve<br />
our agricultural land.<br />
That is why I am particularly<br />
pleased to be able to report<br />
yet another opportunity <strong>for</strong><br />
you to support local yearround<br />
farmers markets.<br />
I previously noted that the<br />
<strong>Ukiah</strong> Saturday and Willits<br />
Thursday markets are planning<br />
to stay open year-round.<br />
I now understand that<br />
Anderson Valley will also<br />
have a year-round market.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Grange Mart will be<br />
located at the Philo Grange<br />
on Sundays from noon to 2<br />
p.m. It will be run as a<br />
fundraiser <strong>for</strong> the Grange.<br />
Once you have tried the<br />
tomatoes, there are some<br />
other great events to check<br />
out at tomorrow’s market.<br />
• For the first time back<br />
this season we will have<br />
award winning fiddle and<br />
violinist Laura Smith per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />
in the pavilion.<br />
• A County of Mendocino<br />
water resource specialist will<br />
provide conservation and<br />
other water wise in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> Discovery World<br />
Preschool teachers are back<br />
with another 10 a.m. story<br />
time session <strong>for</strong> children (it<br />
was great to see all the kids<br />
at last Saturday’s A Child, A<br />
Dog & A Good Book reading!).<br />
• Our sponsor, the <strong>Ukiah</strong><br />
Natural Foods Co-op will<br />
have a table at the market<br />
with lots of great in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

Thoroughbred rescue<br />
operation to benefit<br />
from tour of the<br />
home of Seabiscuit <strong>The</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong><br />
Friends, fans and supporters<br />
of Seabiscuit are invited to<br />
tour Ridgewood Ranch, home<br />
and final resting place of the<br />
horse racing legend on Oct. 11<br />
and to show their support <strong>for</strong><br />
Glen Ellen Vocational<br />
Academy, an equine retirement<br />
foundation operated by<br />
Pam Berg in nearby Sonoma<br />
County. <strong>The</strong> second annual<br />
event is sponsored by the<br />
Seabiscuit Heritage<br />
Foundation and Willits<br />
Chamber of Commerce.<br />
Berg and a handful of volunteers<br />
are rescuing and providing<br />
care <strong>for</strong> injured and<br />
retired thoroughbreds so that<br />
they may recover and return<br />
to riding soundness, just as<br />
Seabiscuit once did under his<br />
trainer Tom Smith. Tom<br />
Smith’s nephew James<br />
Watkins along with his wife<br />
Lucy are both avid supporters<br />
of GEVA and help provide<br />
sponsorships <strong>for</strong> individual<br />
retired horses. GEVA was<br />
founded to provide homes <strong>for</strong><br />
injured, retired, and abused<br />
horses, or horses just in need<br />
of a home.<br />
Representing the<br />
Seabiscuit Heritage<br />
Foundation will be Jacqueline<br />
Cooper, owner and breeder of<br />
American Legend Horse Farm<br />
which is working to preserve<br />
the Seabiscuit bloodline at<br />
Ridgewood and the President<br />
of the foundation Tracy<br />
Livingston. Seabiscuit<br />
Heritage Foundation is a 501<br />
(c) (3) nonprofit organization<br />
<strong>for</strong>med to promote the cultural<br />
legacy of the Ridgewood<br />
Ranch through historic preservation,<br />
environmental conservation<br />
and public education.<br />
Nestled in the oak and redwood-studded<br />
ranchlands and<br />
mountains of northern<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia, Ridgewood Ranch<br />
was where Seabiscuit recovered<br />
after sustaining a suspensory<br />
ligament injury. His recuperation<br />
set the stage <strong>for</strong> an<br />
electrifying blaze-of-glory<br />
career finish at Santa Anita<br />
Park that captivated<br />
Depression-era America.<br />
Owner Charles Howard was<br />
also one of the original<br />
investors of Santa Anita Park.<br />
Washoe Valley Sal, a<br />
Seabiscuit descendant, will<br />
also be making an appearance<br />
at Ridgewood. “We are very<br />
happy to support Pam Berg in<br />
her rescue ef<strong>for</strong>ts.” said<br />
Cooper who purchased a stallion<br />
season <strong>for</strong> Sea of Secrets<br />
donated by Ballena Vista<br />
Farm to benefit Glen Ellen<br />
Vocational Academy earlier<br />
this year. Ballena Vista Farm<br />
is a full service Thoroughbred<br />
breeding operation located in<br />
Ramona. Washoe Valley Sal<br />
was bred to Sea of Secrets and<br />
recently returned home to<br />
Ridgewood where her famous<br />
ancestor once trod. <strong>The</strong> resulting<br />
foal due in April will be<br />
the first of the Biscuit line<br />
born at the historic Howard<br />
mare barn once part of the<br />
Howard’s first class<br />
Thoroughbred breeding operation<br />
in over 50 years.<br />
“Sally is very special to us.<br />
We lost our other Tb broodmare<br />
descending from<br />
Seabiscuit last fall. She along<br />
with our yearling filly Bronze<br />
Sea are continuing an important<br />
line. Col. Michael<br />
Howard USMC (Ret), the<br />
Great Grandson of Charles<br />
Howard, along with his mother<br />
Barbara were most pleased<br />
at their last visit of<br />
Ridgewood Ranch. Barbara<br />
mentioned Marcela Howard<br />
would have been thrilled with<br />
our preservation ef<strong>for</strong>ts.” said<br />
Cooper. “We anxiously await<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Ukiah</strong><br />
the arrival of our newest next<br />
Spring. Eventually we hope to<br />
have one of our Lil’Biscuit’s<br />
racing in support of the<br />
[Seabiscuit Heritage] foundation.”<br />
“I think you will be very<br />
happy with the baby Sea of<br />
Secrets and Sally produce.”<br />
said Vicki Rasmussen, Office<br />
Manager at Ballena Vista<br />
Farm. Sea of Secrets (Storm<br />
Cat-Love From Mom, by Mr.<br />
Prospector) is ranked Top-5<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Sire by winners &<br />
SWs. 2007 Earnings of $2.7<br />
Million 5 SWs, 10 Stakes<br />
Horses in 2007, including Del<br />
Mar SW Seaside Affair.<br />
Cooper commented she is<br />
very pleased with the quality<br />
horse breeding practices and<br />
appreciates the conscientious<br />
and thorough broodmare care<br />
given to Washoe Valley Sal<br />
during her short stay at<br />
Ballena Vista Farm. “I believe<br />
it is important <strong>for</strong> mares to be<br />
contented, stress-free and be<br />
able to enjoy lazy days during<br />
the breeding season. Ballena<br />
Vista Farm is very peaceful<br />
and quiet, with a lot of sunshine<br />
and fresh air. Our equine<br />
campers are very happy here.”<br />
“I know that in this day and<br />
age it is hard to believe, especially<br />
at a farm having over<br />
200 horses at any given time,”<br />
adds Rasmussen, “but Farm<br />
Manager Manuel Ochoa provides<br />
care to each horse literally<br />

partners, volunteers<br />
and friends convened at the<br />
Hawthorne Timber picnic<br />
grounds to review Foundation<br />
progress on <strong>for</strong>est management<br />
principles and the working<br />
community <strong>for</strong>est model.<br />
Former CEO of Harwood<br />
Products, Art Harwood, was<br />
named executive director of<br />
RFFI. As past President of<br />
Harwood Products, Harwood<br />
is uniquely qualified to help<br />
oversee the management of<br />
the 50,000 acre Usal<br />
Redwood Forest and lead the<br />
“community outreach” ef<strong>for</strong>ts<br />
that are central to RFFI’s mission<br />
of creating “working<br />
community <strong>for</strong>ests” <strong>for</strong> the<br />
long-term benefit of the communities<br />
located in the<br />
Redwood Region. Harwood<br />
was an original founder of<br />
RFFI twelve years ago and<br />
has led the organization as<br />
President <strong>for</strong> the past eight<br />
years until stepping down to<br />
take the ED post this year.<br />

Mendocino County Board of<br />
Supervisors Chairman Jim<br />
Wattenburger to “make this<br />
year’s Carson and Barnes visit<br />
the last time the elephants will<br />
have to endure the bite of a<br />
bullhook in <strong>Ukiah</strong>.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> bullhook, or ankus, is a<br />
tool used in the handling and<br />
training of elephants. It consists<br />
of a hook, usually bronze<br />
or steel, which is attached to a<br />
two- or three-foot handle. <strong>The</strong><br />
hook is inserted into the elephant’s<br />
skin, either slightly or<br />
more deeply, to cause pain<br />
and induce the elephant to<br />
behave in a certain manner.<br />
Munsell said devices like<br />
the bullhook were used far<br />
more often in Asian countries.<br />
Also included in the package<br />
sent to local legislators is<br />
a DVD purportedly containing<br />
undercover footage from<br />
1999 of Tim Frisco, Carson<br />
and Barnes’ animal care director,<br />
“viciously attacking terrified<br />
elephants with sharp<br />
metal bullhooks and electric<br />
prods.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> video clip, which is<br />
also available on the PETAowned<br />
Web site circuses.com,<br />
.38 caliber revolver <strong>for</strong> protection<br />
in case he were to<br />
encounter a mountain lion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> friend reportedly told<br />
deputies he and Gage were<br />
taking a break from the heat<br />
purportedly shows elephants<br />
being prodded and beaten<br />
while apparently practicing<br />
routines in a large warehouse.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> video that they have,<br />
the USDA ruled that it was so<br />
spliced and shaky they couldn’t<br />
figure out what was going<br />
on,” Munsell said. “We had to<br />
pay a $400 fee to have (the<br />
USDA) look at it.”<br />
Munsell said the claims<br />
PETA made in the notices sent<br />
out ahead of the circus’ arrival<br />
were untrue.<br />
“We don’t use electric<br />
prods on any of our animals,”<br />
he said. “<strong>The</strong> bullhook is a<br />
guiding tool. A lot of times<br />
they can’t see where they are<br />
going. Usually, elephants<br />
respond to verbal commands.<br />
We have a little elephant<br />
named Val and if they want to<br />
take them to tub, they take<br />
them by the trunk and lead<br />
them. If anyone has any<br />
doubts they can come on<br />
down. Besides, who is going<br />
to abuse your livelihood?”<br />
Jennifer Seward, CEO of<br />
the fairgrounds, said she had<br />
full faith in the practices the<br />
circus employs with both its<br />
animals and the public.<br />
“We try to provide the<br />
community with interesting<br />
events,” she said. “<strong>The</strong> board<br />
believes we are an integral<br />
part of the community. This is<br />
the type of thing that builds<br />
community.”<br />
Munsell said the circus was<br />
inspected so often and by so<br />
about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday<br />
when <strong>for</strong> unknown reasons<br />
Gage started to play “Russian<br />
Roulette” with the loaded .38<br />
revolver. He was unresponsive<br />
when emergency personnel<br />
arrived.<br />
Gage’s friend used a cellular<br />
phone to summon help and<br />
provided first aid until medical<br />
personnel arrived, the<br />
many different agencies,<br />
including Mendocino County<br />
Animal Care and Control, that<br />
there should be no doubt as to<br />
the proper treatment of the<br />
animals.<br />
“Our animals are inspected<br />
almost every day by local,<br />
state and federal governments,”<br />
he said. “We have to<br />
carry their health records with<br />
us everywhere we go.”<br />
William Morris, a fourthgeneration<br />
elephant caretaker,<br />
said his charges are given<br />
ample time to rest between<br />
shows.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y are like people, they<br />
don’t mind working, but they<br />
do want to be taken care of,”<br />
he said. “<strong>The</strong>y are smart like<br />
people. <strong>The</strong> elephants -- every<br />
three months they get a vacation.<br />
Everyone gets a vacation<br />
except the humans.”<br />
Morris said he doesn’t<br />
completely disagree with<br />
PETA’s stance on animal<br />
rights, but would like to see it<br />
take a different approach.<br />
“Un<strong>for</strong>tunately, there are<br />
bad people in every business,”<br />
he said. “We are on display<br />
24/7. We can’t hide. You can<br />
come out and watch us. I’m<br />
<strong>for</strong> a lot of things (PETA<br />
does.) Instead of trying to shut<br />
us down they should be more<br />
proactive and help us make<br />
sure there are no bad people.<br />
Nobody wants to see the animals<br />
get hurt or mistreated.”<br />

A 72-year-old Citrus Heights man died<br />
Tuesday in a single-vehicle collision on<br />
Highway 101 near Myer’s Flat in Southern<br />
Humboldt County, according to a Cali<strong>for</strong>nia<br />
Highway Patrol report.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Humboldt County Coroner’s Office<br />
said the man has been identified as James<br />
Aiello of Citrus Heights, who was driving a<br />
1998 Ford pickup.<br />
<strong>The</strong> CHP responded to an accident call at<br />
11:27 a.m. on Tuesday. Aiello is said to have<br />
the “Redwood Springs,”<br />
“Turner,” “Caspar,” and<br />
“Ocean” precincts who used<br />
to vote at the Caspar<br />
Community Center will now<br />
vote at the gardens.<br />
• Mendocino - Because<br />
voter registration has<br />
increased in the “Surfwood”<br />
precinct, those voters will<br />
now cast their ballots at Saint<br />
Anthony’s Parish Hall.<br />
• Covelo - A ballot drop-off<br />
station has been planned <strong>for</strong><br />
the American Legion Hall,<br />
23900 Howard St. Those voters<br />
who wish to drop off their<br />
voted ballots in Covelo on<br />
Election Day from 7 a.m. to 8<br />
p.m. may do so at that location.<br />
Vote-by-mail envelopes<br />
will be available to voters who<br />
have misplaced their return<br />
envelopes. Blank ballots will<br />
not be available at this location<br />
because it is <strong>for</strong> drop-offs<br />
only. Voter registration cards<br />
will be available at this location.<br />
“Voter registration is still<br />
down in Covelo,” stated<br />
Ranochak. “Our largest<br />
precincts in the Covelo area<br />
are the ‘Nomlacki’ precinct<br />
with 208 registered voters and<br />

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.<br />

the catalyst <strong>for</strong> some kind of<br />
pleasurable event with your<br />
friends. Get in touch with<br />
them early, so everyone has<br />
time to get work out of the<br />
way.<br />
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)<br />
-- Having mobility and independence<br />
could be more<br />
important than usual, mostly<br />
because you sense that, if you<br />
are free to do your own thing,<br />
something good can happen.<br />
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.<br />
22) -- Conditions look particularly<br />
good with regard to<br />
your finances. Chances are<br />
you’ll make a great buy with<br />
either a purchase or an<br />
investment that will prove to<br />
be quite successful.<br />
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.<br />
23-Dec. 21) -- You shouldn’t<br />
have any trouble favorably<br />
impressing others, because<br />
warmth and charm will be<br />
your best assets at this time.<br />
You won’t have to put on any<br />
airs; just be yourself.<br />
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-<br />

activated in response to the<br />
needs of others. When asked<br />
to help, you’ll gladly pitch in<br />

Dear Annie: Please help me understand<br />
my 15-year-old child. We’ve always had a<br />
great mother-son relationship, and my husband<br />
and I did everything possible to give him<br />
a good education, spend time with him, read<br />
to him, play with him and love him to no end.<br />
Now he hardly speaks to us. He’s still a<br />
good boy, pleasant, fun, incredibly smart and<br />
dedicated to all his activities and school. But<br />
I feel terribly sad suddenly knowing nothing<br />
about his life. I know he is having problems<br />
with his girlfriend. I could really help him<br />
understand women, but he wants nothing<br />
from us.<br />
I know this is normal at his age, but will he<br />
ever again feel his parents have something to<br />
offer other than feeding him and putting him<br />
through college? I know things will never be<br />
the same, but is this something I just have to<br />
live with? Is there something I can do so he<br />
will value my opinions and listen to what I<br />
have to say? -- Sad Mom in Kansas<br />
Dear Kansas: Don’t panic. Your son is<br />
going through a perfectly natural and healthy<br />
stage of separating from his parents so he can<br />
become independent. As much as it hurts you,<br />
this is a good sign. Will he ever value your<br />
opinions again? You bet.<br />
Don’t lecture or badger him with questions,<br />
but make sure he knows you’re always available<br />
to listen. Just be<strong>for</strong>e bed is often a good<br />
time. Your comments should be matter-offact,<br />
honest and not overly emotional. (“I<br />
miss that you don’t confide in me anymore,<br />
but if you ever want to, I’ll listen.”) Use your<br />
sense of humor a lot. (“Blow up anything in<br />
chemistry today?”) Don’t be afraid to discipline<br />
him. He needs to know you care enough<br />

thick lined cells.<br />
B. Some correct numbers with their letters<br />
have been put into the "Order Grid" to<br />
get you started. Also, above the "Order<br />
Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue.<br />
C. After you have solved the "Order Grid"<br />
doing as direction "A" says, put the letters<br />

Dear Annie: When is the right time to give<br />
my granddaughter a piece of jewelry that I<br />
had made <strong>for</strong> her? I took precious stones that<br />
belonged to her great-grandmother, her greatgreat-grandmother<br />
and me, and put them into<br />
a special piece as a remembrance.<br />
She is now 16 years old, and I am hesitant<br />
to give it to her. When do you think she’ll be<br />
responsible enough? -- Grandma Kate<br />
Dear Kate: Some 16-year-old girls would<br />
take good care of such a piece. Others would<br />
lose it in a day. If you don’t think your granddaughter<br />
is responsible yet, you can present it<br />
to her <strong>for</strong> her 18th birthday or as a graduation<br />
gift, or if you think that’s too soon, save it <strong>for</strong><br />
when she is 21 or finishes college. You could<br />
leave it to her in your will, but if she’s going<br />
to get the piece sooner or later, it would be<br />
nice <strong>for</strong> you to enjoy her reaction.<br />

years and he didn’t know why.<br />
Here’s a possibility: Men and women<br />
mature differently. In their 20s, women don’t<br />
have a lot of self-confidence and are conditioned<br />
to crave security. Young men are at<br />
their most “risk-taking,” and that makes them<br />
appear confident and exciting.<br />
By our mid-30s, we have flipped positions.<br />
Women have developed the self-confidence<br />
that comes with raising children and handling<br />
emergencies. When the kids are teens, we<br />
want to explore what we’ve missed out on.<br />
We want to travel, take dance lessons, go back<br />
to school or start a new career. Men, however,<br />
have had a drop in testosterone and settled<br />
into a com<strong>for</strong>table routine. A husband often<br />
resists ef<strong>for</strong>ts to do anything new or different.<br />
He may be a good man, but he doesn’t want to<br />
get out of the recliner.<br />
Couples that don’t grow together simply<br />
die together. -- Armchair Psychologist in<br />
Orlando, Fla.<br />

a communication problem, but you’ve<br />
made some excellent points. Thanks <strong>for</strong><br />
