Big flag and pole in the Western Hills before council this week 

By KATIE MINTZ 

The Daily Journal 

Tomorrow evening, the Ukiah 

City Council will hear Dave Hull and 

Ric Piffero’s after-the-fact request 

for a major use permit allowing the 

45-foot flag pole erected on Hull’s 

western hills property. 

City to 

get new 

traffic 

cop 

By BEN BROWN 


The budget for the Ukiah 

Police Department, which 

was approved last month by 

the City Council, includes 

funding for an additional traffic 

officer. 

“The traffic officer position 

is something the office 

has needed for a long time,” 

said UPD Capt. Chris Dewey. 

UPD approached the City 

Council about hiring an additional 

traffic officer two years 

ago but Dewey said a budget 

crunch forced the council to 

turn down their request. 

Money for the new officer 

is being provided by Measure 

S funds, which are expected 

to bring an additional $1.8 

million into the city budget 

this year. 

While the officer’s first 

priority will be traffic 

enforcement, Dewey said

arrested 

in rape 

case 


John Francis Scarberry, 26, 

of Ukiah, was arrested on suspicion 

of rape, rape of a 

drugged victim, committing 

lewd acts with a child and 

penetration with a foreign 

object in the 2300 block of 

South State Street at 12:01 

a.m. Sunday. 

According to reports from 

the Mendocino County 

Sheriff’s Office, deputies 

began the investigation of a 

reported rape after they were 

contacted by a 15-year-old 

girl. The girl, a runaway, told 

deputies that she was taken to 

an apartment at the south end 

of State Street. There she was 

offered and smoked marijuana 

and was then raped by the 

suspect, she said. 

During their investigation, 

Sheriff’s deputies contacted 

Scarberry at his residence. 

According to the report, 

during questioning Scarberry 

admitted to some of the allegations 

and was arrested on 

suspicion of the above listed 

charges. 

Scarberry is being held at 

the county jail on a $100,000 

bond. 

Public hearing on the issue will 

begin at approximately 6:15 p.m. in 

the Council Chambers at the Ukiah 

Civic Center, 300 Seminary Ave. 

Hull and Piffero were reportedly 

unaware that such a permit was 

needed to place the flag pole on the 

property located at 335 Janix Drive, 

and after learning so, applied for the 

permit with the City of Ukiah 

Planning Commission. 

After hearing mixed sentiments 

from the public, the Planning 

Commission deadlocked on the issue 

at its May 24 meeting, leaving the 

decision to the council. The council 

will need to decide whether the pole 

is compatible with surrounding land 

uses and not detrimental to the public’s 

health, safety and general welfare, 

and that it is consistent with the 

goals and policies of the General 

Plan. 

If council members agree that the

As temperatures continue to soar 

into three digits, the city of Ukiah is 

offering a cool place to hang out. 

According to AccuWeather.com, 

every day this week is going to be over 

100 degrees and every day the rest of 

the month is forecasted to be over 90 

degrees in Ukiah. 

To beat the heat, the city-owned 

Ukiah Valley Conference Center at 

200 S. School Street will be open all 

week from noon to 5 p.m. when temperatures 

tend to be at their peak. 

“The center is going to be open the 

rest of this week,” said Gail Petersen, 

executive assistant to the city manager. 

“We will have iced tea, water and a 

cool place to sit in the air conditioning 

for the people who don’t have a place 

to get out of this heat.” 

July and August are forecasted to be 

the hottest months in Ukiah this summer 

so here are some tips to help beat 

the heat from AccuWeather.com. 

You should try to limit your outdoor 

activity on hot days to the morning and 

evening hours because the temperatures 

and intensity of the sunlight tend 

to be lower during these times. Cut 

down on exercising in the heat but if 

you must, drink two to four glasses of 

cool, nonalcoholic fluids each hour 

and drinking a sports beverage can 

help replace the salt and minerals you 

lose in sweat. Be careful though, if you 

are on a low-salt diet, speak with your 

doctor before drinking a sports beverage. 

Try to rest often in shady areas to 

help your body cool down while outside 

in the sun. Protect yourself from 

the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed 

hat that will help you stay cool and 

sunglasses that will help keep the sun 

out of your eyes. Using sunscreen of 

SPF 15 or higher is also recommended 

to help prevent skin damage and sunburn. 

Also be very aware of the humidity 

when temperatures rise. The way our 

bodies cool off is to sweat and when 

the humidity is high it makes it much 

more difficult for our bodies to perspire 

and cool down. The amount of 

humidity also makes it feel like it’s 

hotter outside much like the wind 

makes the air feel colder during the 

pole, 25 feet taller than the allowable 

height in Ukiah Municipal Code, is 

acceptable by these standards and 

grant the permit, Hull and Piffero 

will be required to pay for both a 

building and use permit and penalty

Suspects 

sought in 

armed 

robbery 

Willits store 

employee OK; 

police seek 

maroon car 


WILLITS - The Willits 

Police Department is seeking 

two unidentified men in connection 

with robbery of a convenience 

store early Monday 

morning. 

According to police 

reports, two unidentified 

black men entered the Circle 

K convenience store at 1579 

S. Main St. at 1 a.m. Monday. 

Both suspects approached the 

counter, which was being 

watched by store employee 

Kenneth Fortune, at which 

point one of the subjects 

pulled out a semi-automatic 

handgun. 

The suspects took an 

undisclosed amount of money 

from the store’s cash drawer 

and fled on foot. They were 

last seen running north 

through the store’s parking 

lot. 

WPD officers attempted to 

locate the suspects with the 

help of deputies from the 

Mendocino County Sheriff’s 

Office. One witness told officers 

he saw a maroon vehicle 

that may have been a 

Chevrolet Camero leave the 

Little Lake Auto Parts parking 

lot near the time of the 

robbery. 

Police have designated this 

car a vehicle of interest and 

anyone with information is 

encouraged to contact the 

Willits Police Department. 

No shots were fired during 

this incident and Fortune, the 

only employee present at the 

time, was not hurt. 

City offers cool hangout during hot weather 

winter. For example when it’s 100 

degrees outside and there is 50 percent 

humidity, it can feel like 120 degrees. 

For additional weather information 

visit www.accuweather.com and also 

feel free to call the pool office for 

swim times at 467-2831 or the 

Community Services Department at 

463-6237 for information about when 

the Ukiah Valley Conference Center is 

open because of the heat. 

Also note that the electric substation 

repair work was completed and 

power is now restored to normal levels. 

Over the weekend citizens were 

asked not to run air conditioners and 

to conserve energy during the repairs.

Westerners flee Lebanon as 

Israel briefly sends troops 

into embattled country 

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Westerners fled 

by land, sea and air Monday as Israel sent 

ground troops into Lebanon briefly and 

Hezbollah rockets knocked down a three-story 

house in northern Israel. However, there were 

signs of movement on the diplomatic front to 

end the worst fighting in 24 years. 

The exodus of tourists left downtown Beirut 

eerily silent, with the shutters down on fancy 

stores and restaurants in a stark reminder of the 

country’s civil war. Israeli military officials 

said an airstrike in Lebanon destroyed at least 

one long-range Iranian missile capable of hitting 

Tel Aviv, where sunbathers, swimmers and 

paddleball players filled the beaches, determined 

to defy the guerrilla attacks. 

By nightfall Monday, 209 Lebanese had 

been reported killed in the six days of fighting. 

The latest victims — nine civilians, including 

two children — died in an afternoon airstrike 

on a bridge near the southern port city of 

Sidon, Lebanese officials said. At least 24 

Israelis have been killed. 

A cruise ship, the Orient Queen, escorted by 

a U.S. destroyer was to begin evacuating some 

of the 25,000 Americans in Lebanon on 

Tuesday, joining U.S. military helicopters that 

have ferried about a score of U.S. citizens to a 

British base on the Mediterranean island of 

Cyprus. More helicopter transfers were 

planned Tuesday, a U.S. official said. 

On the sixth day of its major offensive in 

Lebanon, Israel was allowing evacuation ships 

through its blockade of the country. France and 

Italy moved hundreds of nationals and other 

Europeans out Monday on a Greek cruise liner. 

An Italian ship left earlier with 350 people, and 

other governments were organizing pullouts by 

land to Syria. 

Space shuttle Discovery lands 

safely despite overcast skies 

after 13-day mission 

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The 

shuttle Discovery and its crew of six returned 

safely home Monday, rejuvenating a space 

program that until now had been vexed by the 

same chronic foam problem that brought down 

Columbia three years ago. 

Within hours of the smooth touchdown, 

NASA was already looking ahead to the next 

shuttle launch in just six weeks and, with it, the 

long-awaited return to construction work on 

the half-finished space station. 

“It’s a good day,” NASA Administrator 

Michael Griffin said. “It’s an awfully good 

day.” 

Discovery’s commander, Steven Lindsey, 

who took a walk around the shuttle after landing, 

said he had never seen one look so clean 

and undamaged after a spaceflight. It was a 

striking achievement for a launch that was 

challenged by some within NASA who wanted 

more improvements to protect the spacecraft 

from flyaway foam insulation. 

Lindsey noted that both of the mission’s 

major objectives were accomplished: completing 

tests of the shuttle and its redesigned fuel 

tank, which now carries less foam, and readying 

NASA to resume space station construction, 

left hanging after the Columbia tragedy 

which killed seven astronauts. 

Mass. Gov. Romney says tests 

show more than 1,100 Big 

Dig bolts are unreliable 

BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Mitt Romney said 

Monday that tests show more than 1,100 bolt 

assemblies that used epoxy and more than 300 

other areas in a Big Dig connector tunnel 

where the ceiling collapsed are unreliable. 

Romney, speaking at a Statehouse news 

conference where he drew charts and diagrams 

of the trouble spots, said all will have to be 

reinforced. 

“In grabbing ahold of these bolts and 

pulling on them with excess force, they’re letting 

go ... at lower pressures than they were 

designed to handle,” Romney said. 

“That suggests that this epoxy system is not 

working ... and for that reason we can’t count 

on it,” he said.

Heat wave broils much of 

nation; Temps soar amid 

calls for energy conservation 

NEW YORK (AP) — Broiling temperatures 

in the 90s and beyond gripped large swaths of 

the country Monday, sending people scrambling 

for the shade and prompting officials to 

open air-conditioned buildings and take to the 

streets to rescue the homeless and elderly. 

On the streets of New York, a spot in the 

shade competed with a parking space as a valuable 

commodity. Men and women made their 

way under narrow awnings, lounged under 

trees and took breaks beneath the umbrellas of 

hot dog stands. 

“Any walking around today and you are just 

burning up,” said Elia Escuerdo, 37, from the 

Bronx. “I’m giving up. I had a doctor’s 

appointment, but I’m just going home to sit 

near my air conditioner.” 

The temperature reached 94 in the city, with 

a heat index — meaning the combined effects 

of heat and humidity — of 99. 

The heat may have caused a New York subway 

train to lose power, stranding commuters 

for about 2 1/2 hours. About 70 people had to 

be evacuated. Transit spokesman Charles 

Seaton said the power loss may have been 

caused when the “third rail” — which powers 

the train — buckled. 

Tsunami kills at least 86 on 

Java island after 7.7-magnitude 

earthquake off coast 

PANGANDARAN, Indonesia (AP) — A 

tsunami crashed into beach resorts and fishing 

villages on Java island Monday, killing at least 

86 people and leaving scores missing after bulletins 

failed to reach the region because no 

warning system was in place. 

The coastal area was spared by the devastating 

Asian tsunami of 2004, but many residents 

recognized the danger when they saw the sea 

recede. 

Frantic tourists and villagers shouted 

“Tsunami! Tsunami!” as the more than 6-foothigh 

wave approached, some climbing trees or 

fleeing to higher ground to escape. Others 

crowded into inland mosques to pray. 

Regional agencies had warned that a 7.7- 

magnitude earthquake that struck 150 miles off 

Indonesia’s southern coast was strong enough 

to create a tsunami on Java. But there was no 

warning system for those on the southern 

coast. 

The hardest-hit area appeared to be 

Pangandaran, an idyllic beach resort popular 

with local and foreign tourists. 

Bush curses Hezbollah’s 

actions in unscripted comments 

on live microphone 

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — It wasn’t 

meant to be overheard. Private luncheon 

conversations among world leaders, picked up 

by a microphone, provided a rare window into 

both banter and substance — including 

President Bush cursing Hezbollah’s attacks 

against Israel. 

Bush expressed his frustration with the 

United Nations and his disgust with the militant 

Islamic group and its backers in Syria as 

he talked to British Prime Minister Tony Blair 

during the closing lunch at the Group of Eight 

summit. 

“See the irony is that what they need to do 

is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this 

s--- and it’s over,” Bush told Blair as he 

chewed on a buttered roll. 

He told Blair he felt like telling U.N. 

Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who visited the 

gathered leaders, to get on the phone with 

Syrian President Bashar Assad to “make something 

happen.” He suggested Secretary of State 

Condoleezza Rice might visit the region soon. 

The unscripted comments came during a 

photo opportunity at the lunch. The leaders 

clearly did not realize that a live microphone 

was picking up their discussion.

AP: Caucuses offer 

lawmakers private 

way to schmooze 

GLENN DALE, Md. (AP) 

— On a sunny Tuesday, 

House members who belong 

to the Congressional 

Sportsmen’s Caucus left suits 

and ties behind, grabbed shotguns 

and headed for the firing 

range. 

In a Washington equivalent 

of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” 

more than a dozen lawmakers 

took advantage of a light 

schedule at the Capitol to play 

hooky. 

The lawmakers got expert 

shooting advice from 

Olympic double trap champion 

Kim Rhode while they 

mingled with representatives 

of the outdoor-sports industry 

who footed the bill for the 

“Great Congressional Shoot- 

Out” and barbecue. 

There was no public 

accounting for the special 

interest money. No talk about 

votes or hearings back at the 

Capitol. Just the hollers of 

“pull” and the pop, pop, pop 

of shotguns aiming for clay 

targets flying through the sunfilled 

sky.

ASK DR. GOTT 

By Peter H. Gott, MD 

UVMC employees return 

from outreach trip Africa 

Carpal tunnel causes 

nocturnal tingling 

DEAR DR. GOTT: I have some symptoms that I 

have never seen addressed in your column. 

Several times during the night, I wake up with 

numb, tingling arms and hands. When I rise in the 

morning, these symptoms cease. About six months 

ago, this occurred with my one hand nightly, then it 

stopped completely until just recently. Do you have 

any idea why this is happening? 

DEAR READER: I’m sorry that you have 

missed one of my many columns about carpal tunnel 

syndrome, a condition in which the nerves at the 

wrists become compressed, especially at night, leading 

to tingling and pain in the hands. 

The diagnosis is made using a nerve-conduction 

study. Treatment includes splinting, physiotherapy, 

acupuncture and other modalities. Surgery, used as a 

last resort, is almost always curative. I know 

because I had one wrist done, and what a difference. 

DEAR DR. GOTT: What are the symptoms of 

pancreatic cancer? Can this form of cancer be genetic, 

and is it terminal, or can it be cured? 

DEAR READER: Pancreatic cancer is, in its initial 

stages, difficult to diagnose. It can cause abdominal 

pain, digestive disturbances, weight loss, 

malaise and other symptoms. To my knowledge, it is 

not inherited. Although not always successful, 

surgery and chemotherapy are helpful in treating -- 

but not curing -- this affliction. 

To give you related information, I am sending 

you a copy of my Health Report “Viruses and 

Cancer.” Other readers who would like a copy 

should send a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope 

and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, 

OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title. 

DEAR DR. GOTT: I am a 55-year-old female in 

good health. I had pelvic-floor reconstruction with a 

rectocele repair. I had the surgery in April 2004. 

After my post-operative visits and a check-up a year 

later, the surgeon told me that everything had healed 

well. I still have some discomfort. I have followed 

all of his instructions carefully, but he has assured 

me that this area takes a great deal of time to heal 

fully. I have also spoken to my niece, who is a nurse 

for a gynecologist. She has also reassured me that in 

her experience with patients who have had the same 

surgery as mine, they often have complaints for up 

to two years, and some even longer than two years. 

I would appreciate any input or answers that you 

may have regarding this matter. 

DEAR READER: You had major gynecological 

surgery. I agree with your doctor that recovery is 

painfully slow. Be patient and check with your surgeon 

periodically.

Director of Marketing &

McNaughton and 

Medical/Surgical Charge Nurse, 

Brad Morrison, RN, just 

returned from Nigeria, Africa. 

The two were part of an 11- 

member team that journeyed to 

the country on May 27, 2006. 

This is McNaughton’s seventh 

visit to the country as a project 

coordinator and Morrison’s first 

visit for medical outreach to the 

tribes and villages of Nigeria. 

This year’s group included 

11 people from around the 

U.S., with members from 

Louisiana, Alaska, Idaho, and 

California. 

The team visited four cities 

in Nigeria: Abuja-the capital 

city of the country, Kaduna-a 

heavily Muslim populated 

region, Benin City-the oldest 

city in Nigeria, and Lagos-the 

largest city of the country. 

McNaughton and Morrison 

meet with the King of Kaduna 

and the king of a tribe near 

Benin City. “We’re trying our 

best to improve relations with 

tribal officials in Nigeria to 

make it even easier for us to 

continue our medical outreaches 

that will end up serving 

thousands of Nigerians,” said 

McNaughton. 

Nigeria is the largest country 

in Africa with more than 120 

million people in an area slightly 

twice the size of California. 

Over 250 tribal languages are 

spoken in the country. More 

than 3.6 million Nigerians have 

acquired HIV/AIDS according 

to the Centers for Disease 

Control. 

“We want to touch as many 

lives as possible to help educate 

and treat the people of 

Nigeria,” said McNaughton.

Father absence is a national 

social crisis. Some twenty two 

million children live apart from 

their fathers. That is one out of 

every three children. Perhaps 

like me you find it hard to wrap 

your mind around what you 

just read, let alone think about 

what you could do about this 

crisis. However, there is something 

you, as a dad can do 

about it consider becoming a 

foster dad or a foster/adopt dad. 

Foster dads for children of all 

races are needed. 

Foster dads are a special 

kind of dad. No they don’t have 

to have “Super Dad” across 

their chest. They are dads who 

care about children, someone 

else’s children. Are you a dad 

who may want to be a part of 

the solution for foster children 

who have no dad in their life? 

(Not all children who come 

into to foster care are fatherless. 

Some do have dads who 

really want to work to have 

their children reunified with 

their wives/partners after separation 

due to neglect or abuse. 

These dads and moms work 

hard to correct their problems 

and have their children 

returned to them). 

In my work as a foster care 

social worker with True to Life 

Children's Services, a foster 

family and adoption agency, 

I’ve sadly found many children 

who come into foster care don’t 

have a dad in their lives. Their 

father may be absent due to 

abandonment, incarceration, 

operating in California, 

Hawaii, Oregon and 

Washington. 

Founded on the Seventh-day 

Adventist legacy of Christian 

health care, Adventist Health is 

comprised of 20 hospitals with 

more than 3,100 beds, 18,300 

employees, numerous clinics 

and outpatient facilities, 16 

home care agencies and three 

joint-venture retirement centers.

death, drug use, mental health 

problems, or alienation from 

the child. It is in these cases 

where the child is fatherless 

that foster dads become a very 

special dad. 

Though they aren’t replacing 

the child’s father even if he 

is an absent dad, foster dads 

can become a very important 

person in the foster child’s life. 

Foster dads take an interest in 

the foster child’s well being, 

helping them in practical ways 

such as homework or fixing 

their bike. Dealing with their 

problems is also part of the 

work. Taking the foster child 

with you when you are out on

dads can is also part of being a

Letters from our readers 

Keep Little River 

airport small 

To the Editor: 

Concerning the Little River Airport’s 

growth, apparently some pilots are surprised 

to hear that locals don’t want more 

air traffic. To learn why, spend some 

weekend time in your lawn or garden, or 

hiking or boating. While kayaking one of 

our beautiful rivers with guests this past 

weekend, we were constantly assaulted by 

the annoying drone of planes overhead. 

Most of us choose to live here because 

of its rural peace and quiet. But it’s getting 

ruined by weekend sky tourists having 

fun at our expense. Their noise is 

louder and lasts longer than a car’s, and 

penetrates everywhere, even up our wild 

rivers and trails. These sky cruisers also 

annoy the millions of tourists who come 

for the peace and quiet, and that hurts our 

tourist-dependent economy. 

Should we continue to allow our most 

attractive feature to be degraded by the 1 

percent of people who fly? Giving this 1 

percent -- pilots -- 50 percent of the seats 

on the Airport Committee is a gross perversion 

of democracy; it needs to be 

changed. This tiny minority should not be 

allowed to wreck the peace and quiet for 

the rest of us. 

They’ve promoted the desecration of 

the pygmy forest at the east end of the 

runway; plans to double hanger and tiedown 

capacity; plans for instrument landings, 

which will allow traffic all times of 

day and night; and plans for jet fuel sales, 

just as the Heritage House converts into a 

luxury spa destination catering to the 

international jet set. Helicopter tours, anyone? 

If you value our peace and quiet and 

want to preserve it, please convey your 

concerns to Supervisors Colfax, Smith and 

Wagonet. The airport’s future is being 

decided now; your input is needed.

How does a rabbit 

cross the street? 

To the Editor: 

A couple days ago a wise-looking jack 

rabbit waited to cross at a stop sign near 

the Friedman Bros./Mendocino Animal 

Hospital Area. He stared me in the eyes as 

I drove by and I wondered just how much 

longer he would survive on the busy 

streets. There are many jack rabbits that 

have for years resided in these empty 

fields near the airports. With all the new 

businesses building fast, their homes are 

quickly turning to pavements and buildings. 

They have no way to escape into the 

nearby hills with a freeway (Highway 

101) on one side and State Street on the 

other. Perhaps we can’t stop businesses 

from growing, but at least we can have the 

decency to capture them and release them 

into the wild where they will have a 

chance for survival. Let’s do something 

about this. If anyone has any ideas on 

whom to contact for this type of service, 

please inform us before it’s too late. Is 

there anyone else out there concerned 

about the jack rabbits?

words in length may take longer to be printed. 

Names will not be withheld for any reason. 

If we are aware that you are connected 

to a local organization or are an elected official 

writing about the organization or body 

on which you serve, that will be included in 

your signature. If you want to make it clear 

you are not speaking for that organization, 

you should do so in your letter.All letters 

are subject to editing without notice. Editing

for a family newspaper. Form letters 

that are clearly part of a write-in campaign 

will not be published. You may drop letters 

off at our office at 590 S. School St., or fax

The FBI should be

sum for his knowledge and

the agency really lost. Colon

THOMAS D. ELIAS 

Arnold and 

Antonio doing duet 

Times have changed considerably since the early 

July day in 2005 when Republican Gov. Arnold 

Schwarzenegger heard loud boos from a crowd of 

about 6,000 when introduced on the south steps of Los 

Angeles City Hall during the mayoral inauguration of 

longtime Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa. 

At the time, Schwarzenegger was pushing a series 

of anti-union, anti-abortion ballot initiatives for the 

special election he staged last November while 

Villaraigosa, a former speaker of the state Assembly 

and onetime labor union organizer, vigorously 

opposed him and his measures. 

But these two have long since made peace. Now 

they are staging a long-running duet that some have 

called a waltz. In reality, their arrangement looks more 

like classic you-scratch-my-back, I'll-scratch-yours. If 

all works out for these two, Schwarzenegger would be 

reelected this fall, with Villaraigosa in position to take 

his place him in 2010. 

Schwarzenegger made the first solid overture in this 

dance. In April, he named Villaraigosa's sister, Mary 

Lou Villar, a $149,000-per-year judge on the Los 

Angeles Superior Court. Not to say she wasn't qualified: 

The mayor's sister spent many years as both a 

legal aid attorney and an administrative law judge on 

the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. 

But how many similarly-qualified poverty lawyers 

and administrative law judges has Schwarzenegger 

elevated to full judgeships? Not many. 

Next, Villaraigosa delightedly supported the governor's 

package of construction and repair bonds, due to 

appear on the November ballot as a series of propositions. 

He appeared with the governor in several places 

to extol their virtues because they promise billions of 

dollars for his city. 

Then Schwarzenegger quietly backed Villaraigosa's 

scheme to take control of the huge Los Angeles 

Unified School District. This, the mayor insists, will be 

good for children. Never mind the fact that similar 

mayoral power grabs have proven not very successful 

in Chicago and New York. 

It's still uncertain whether state legislators will 

endorse the deal worked out by the charismatic 

Villaraigosa, the equally flashy Schwarzenegger, 

teachers union leaders and mayors of small cities like 

San Fernando, Huntington Park and Bell Gardens 

which are subsumed by the gigantic Los Angeles 

school district. 

The deal would give Villaraigosa and succeeding 

mayors direct control of dozens of schools, veto power 

over selection of top school district officials and allow 

local principals and teachers far greater say about curriculum 

than they have today. 

It's a huge increase in sheer power for the both 

mayor and the teachers union for which he once 

worked. 

And what has he done in exchange all this familial 

and political support from Schwarzenegger? Merely 

keep his mouth shut. Unlike most other Democrats, 

Villaraigosa - America's most visible and most influential 

Latino officeholder - has not lifted a finger to 

help Phil Angelides, his party's candidate against 

Schwarzenegger this fall. 

When prominent Democrats - including Angelides' 

bitter primary election opponent Steve Westly - met in 

Los Angeles the morning after the June vote to stress 

party unity, Villaraigosa was pointedly absent. 

In short, the Villaraigosa/Schwarzenegger duet has 

essentially deprived Democrat Angelides of the support 

of this state's most prominent Latino politician. 

The reason plainly is power. Schwarzenegger used 

his to hand the mayor's sister a high-value judicial 

sinecure. If passed, his bond package would give 

Villaraigosa billions in transit funds for the mayor's 

pipe dream of a subway from downtown Los Angeles 

to the beach. Similarly, Schwarzenegger will not stand 

in the way of Villaraigosa's school district power grab. 

In fact, standing idle while Angelides runs against 

Schwarznegger could work out well for Villaraigosa. 

Arnold will be termed out in 2010, when Antonio (if 

reelected in 2009) would also be looking at term limits. 

It's no secret Villaraigosa thirsts to be governor. 

If Angelides should win this year, he would likely 

run for reelection in 2010, forcing Villaraigosa either 

to wait his turn or challenge a sitting governor in a 

divisive primary fight. But if Angelides loses, as he 

surely will if he doesn't get large-scale Latino backing, 

the path might be clear for Villaraigosa. 

So it's all about power. In exchange for that, former 

union organizer Villaraigosa can forgive 

Schwarzenegger even his attempt last year to emasculate 

unions' political power. Meanwhile, in exchange 

for four more years in power, Schwarzenegger will 

give Villaraigosa almost anything he wants. 

You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

HEALTH 

Healthy feet are happy feet 

By VIKKI CONWELL 

Cox News Service 

ATLANTA -- Contrary to 

what many of us think, our 

feet shouldn’t hurt. If they 

do, they’re probably trying to 

tell us something. 

Perry Julien, a podiatrist 

who specializes in sportsrelated 

injuries says foot pain 

can sometimes even warn us 

of a more major problem. 

For instance, prolonged toe 

pain can indicate a circulation 

problem, and significant 

ankle swelling can signal 

congestive heart problems, 

he said. 

The foot is the microcosm 

of the body, said Carole 

Addlestone, a reflexologist, 

referring to the 72,000 nerve 

endings, reflex areas and 

points of the foot that correspond 

to various organs and 

glands of the body. 

Bunions, hammertoes and 

arch problems can lead to 

arthritis, and favoring one 

foot more than the other 

causes stress on the joints 

that can lead to hip, knee and 

back problems. 

“Take better care of your 

feet, and you take better care 

of your entire body,” 

Addlestone said. “It’s a catalyst 

for self healing.” 

Basic foot care includes 

washing your feet and using 

lotions and ointments to 

soothe and moisturize. If you

give them a break and prop 

them up. 

“In order to be happy, the 

feet need attention,” said 

Gudrun Noonan, a registered 

nurse at Piedmont Hospital 

who specializes in foot care. 

“Just like brushing your 

teeth, you need to take care 

of your feet daily.” 

Noonan also recommended 

foot exercises such as 

picking up pencils and marbles 

with your toes, using a 

foot roller and walking on 

the beach barefoot to help 

strengthen your foot muscles. 

The best way to prevent 

foot problems is to wear 

proper-fitting shoes made 

with rubber soles and with 

good arch support that provides 

plenty of room for the

toes, Julien said. But that’s 

not an easy task for most 

women. 

“When you look at the 

shape of the foot and the 

shape of most shoes, it’s not 

a match,” he said, adding 

that high heels tighten calves, 

push feet forward, cramp 

toes and lead to arch and 

Achilles tendon pain. 

“Everyday shoes are 

designed for fashion and not 

function. I’d rather compromise 

looks for function.” 

Noonan agreed. 

“Vanity dictates fashion,” 

Noonan said. “Life is too 

short to wear uncomfortable 

shoes.”

Study says sleep boosts ability 

to remember recent events 

By CAROLYN SUSMAN 

Cox News Service 

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Researchers 

from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, 

Harvard Medical School and the University of 

Pennsylvania found that sleep benefits an 

individual’s ability to recall recently learned 

memories. This finding is particularly important 

for individuals with mentally demanding 

lifestyles, such as doctors, medical residents 

and college students, who often do not get 

adequate amounts of sleep. The study appears 

in Current Biology. 

Sixty participants (33 women and 27 men) 

between the ages of 18 and 39, who did not 

use prescription or illicit drugs and did not 

have known sleep disorders or abnormal sleep 

patterns, were chosen for the study. Fortyeight 

individuals were assigned to one of four 

groups: sleep before testing, wake before testing, 

sleep before testing with interference, or 

wake before testing with interference. 

All groups learned 20 paired words, which 

had no obvious semantic relationships. 

Twelve hours later, everyone was tested for 

recall by completing a cued-recall task; however, 

individuals within the interference 

groups learned a second list of 20 word pairs 

before testing. Participants were prevented 

from rehearsing the new words after learning 

the list. 

The researchers found that in the non-interference 

groups mean recall was slightly higher 

in the sleep group compared with the wake 

group; however, participants in the interference 

condition who were able to sleep did 

significantly better on the recall task. 

“The results show that the sleep benefit for 

memory persists across the subsequent waking 

day, even when challenged by new information,” 

said Dr. Jeffrey Ellenbogen, an associate 

neurologist at Brigham and Women’s 

Hospital.

Some ‘senior moments’ could 

be Alzheimer’s, study suggests 

By LINDSEY TANNER 

AP Medical Writer 

CHICAGO -- A study found that in a disturbing 

number of cases, embarrassing 

“senior moments” such as forgetting a 

recent conversation or drawing a blank on 

someone’s name may really be a sign of 

Alzheimer’s after all. 

Chicago scientists reached that conclusion 

after autopsies on the brains of 134 

older people who had appeared to be mentally 

normal, apart from some subtle forgetfulness. 

Occasional forgetfulness is often written 

off as a normal part of growing old and 

nothing to get alarmed about. And in most 

cases, that is probably true. 

But the scientists found to their surprise 

that the brains of more than one-third of the 

participants were riddled with waxy protein 

clumps and other signs of degeneration that 

are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. 

The study “questions the acceptability of 

minor episodic memory loss in older adults 

as normal,” said Dr. Carol Lippa, director of 

the memory disorders program at Drexel 

University College of Medicine in 

Philadelphia. She had no part in the study. 

The study appears in Tuesday’s issue of 

Neurology, the American Academy of 

Neurology’s scientific journal. 

Dallas Anderson, an Alzheimer’s scientist 

at the National Institute on Aging, which 

funded the research, called the results “very 

plausible and hopeful.” Anderson noted that 

scientists are trying to pinpoint the earliest 

point in the Alzheimer’s disease process, 

which could lead to earlier treatments. 

Participants in the study had amounts of 

brain deterioration similar to those found in 

Alzheimer’s patients who were severely 

debilitated by the mind-robbing disease 

before their deaths. The researchers said 

that raises the question of why some afflicted 

people but not others can function normally. 

“There’s something about these people 

that allows them to have large amounts of 

pathology without obvious memory problems,” 

said lead author Dr. David Bennett, 

an Alzheimer’s researcher at Rush 

University Medical Center. “We need to 

understand why that is.” 

His theory, supported by earlier research, 

is that high levels of education and feelings 

of social connectedness can help preserve 

brain function. Bennett said he believes that 

helps create a “neural reserve” that enables 

people to tolerate Alzheimer’s-induced 

brain deterioration without showing signs of 

dementia. 

Some researchers believe that mentally 

stimulating tasks such as doing crossword

puzzles, taking classes or reading can help 

prevent Alzheimer’s. But Bennett said his 

new findings suggest that in some people, 

these tasks might also enable the brain to 

compensate for the disease. 

Study participants were mostly white and 

in their early 80s on average when they 

died. While 36 percent of them had brain 

degeneration consistent with Alzheimer’s 

disease, none had been diagnosed with 

either Alzheimer’s or mild cognitive impairment, 

a less severe condition that can lead to 

Alzheimer’s. 

All had performed well on memory 

exams, although those whose autopsies 

showed Alzheimer’s evidence had slightly 

lower scores on measures of episodic memory, 

which tested how well they recalled a 

story that had been recently read to them. 

Episodic memory loss also includes 

things such as forgetting the name of a new 

acquaintance, a recent conversation, or an 

upcoming appointment. 

People commonly undergo an age-related 

slowing of the ability to retrieve information. 

They might forget where they put their 

keys, but they usually remember eventually, 

Bennett said. 

But when Alzheimer’s is involved, new 

information is never properly stored, meaning 

the affected person never learned it well 

enough to be able to retrieve it, he said. 

Lippa said the study bolsters the use-itor-lose-it 

theory that says “if you don’t keep 

yourself mentally challenged, your brain 

cells may die off,” or be more subject to disease.

Seventh inning stunner 

Baltimore wins 

third straight, 

shutting down 

Oakland 5-3 

By DAVID GINSBURG 

The Associated Press 

BALTIMORE — Melvin 

Mora and Miguel Tejada hit runscoring 

singles in the seventh 

inning to carry the Baltimore 

Orioles to their season-high tying 

third straight victory, 5-3 over 

the Oakland Athletics on 

Monday night. 

Brian Roberts went 2-for-2 

with two walks for the Orioles, 

who blew a 3-0 lead, then went 

ahead for good against Kirk 

Saarloos (3-6) in the seventh. 

Nick Markakis and Roberts hit 

one-out singles before Brandon 

Fahey hit into a force play at second. 

Mora then lined a single to 

center and Tejada grounded a 

single up the middle. 

Kurt Birkins (5-1) worked the 

seventh, Todd Williams gave up 

a hit in the eighth and Chris Ray 

got three outs to earn his 23rd 

save in 24 chances. 

Oakland starter Jason Windsor 

allowed three runs and five hits 

in his major league debut. 

He walked three, struck out 

three and yielded two unearned 

runs — by virtue of his own 

throwing error. 

The right-hander was matched 

against rookie Adam Loewen, 

whose lack of control proved 

costly in his sixth big league 

start. 

Recalled from Triple-A 

Ottawa on Friday for a second 

stint with the Orioles, Loewen 

gave up one hit and struck out 

five in five innings. 

But the left-hander walked 

six, hit two batters with pitches 

and committed a balk that provided 

Oakland with its second 

run. 

He threw 92 pitches, 44 of 

which were ruled outside the 

strike zone by plate umpire Tim 

Tschida. 

Loewen left with a 3-2 lead, 

Tainted Tour rolls along 

Even after expulsions, 

suspicions of doping at 

Tour de France remain 

By JAMEY KEATEN 


GAP, France — Through the picturesque 

countryside and the strenuous 

mountain climbs, suspicion rides 

along with the cyclists at the Tour de 

France. 

Despite the largest anti-doping 

sweep in years on the eve of the 

fabled race’s start, there are those who 

still believe the sport is tainted and at 

least some of its athletes are cheaters. 

“It’s not because there was a big 

kick to their ant hill that we can let 

ourselves think it’s finished, and that 

everything has been solved,” said 

Jerome Pineau, a French rider with 

the Bouygues Telecom team. 

The house-cleaning right before 

the July 1 start removed some of the 

top favorites from the first Tour of the 

post-Lance Armstrong era. But some 

experts don’t believe the recent doping 

expulsions will remedy the sport’s 

doping culture revolving around suspect 

doctors, unscrupulous team 

coaches and riders hoping for an extra 

edge. 

And if there’s any time when riders 

may be tempted to rely on blood doping 

to boost performance, some 

experts say, it’s now — as the Tour 

heads into the final mountain stages 

with several cyclists still in contention 

for the famed yellow jersey. 

The practice of blood doping consists 

of an athlete having blood drawn 

weeks or months before a competition 

and then passed through a centrifuge 

to separate the oxygen-transporting 

red cells. The red-cell-rich blood, put 

back in through transfusion, can aid 

tired muscles, providing an extra 

boost to riders. 

The question is how to step up the 

fight against doping. 

Scottish rider David Millar, back at 

but the Oakland tied it in the 

sixth against Chris Britton. Jay 

Payton and Milton Bradley hit 

singles, and Payton tagged and 

took third after Markakis made a 

leaping grab of a liner to right by 

Bobby Crosby. 

Payton then scored on the 

front end of a double steal, 

breaking for home after Bradley 

got caught in a rundown. 

Prior to Britton’s appearance, 

the Baltimore bullpen had retired 

16 straight batters. 

Windsor got his major league 

career started by walking the first 

batter he faced, Roberts, who 

scored on a single by Tejada 

before Jeff Conine hit into a double 

play. 

Windsor benefited from a double 

play in the second inning, 

too, but yielded two unearned 

runs in the third. 

With two outs and a runner on 

third, the rookie fielded a 

grounder by Tejada and threw the 

ball far over the head of first 

baseman Nick Swisher. Conine 

followed with an RBI single for a 

3-0 lead. 

Oakland scored twice in the 

fourth without a hit, ending the 

Orioles’ run of 26 straight 

innings without allowing an 

earned run. 

Loewen walked the bases 

loaded and then walked Mark 

Ellis to force in a run before 

committing a balk. 

Notes: Actor Tom Hanks led 

the crowd in spelling out O-R-I- 

O-L-E-S from his suite during 

the seventh-inning stretch. 

Director Ron Howard and comedian 

Dennis Miller were also in 

attendance. ... The Orioles played 

without DH Javy Lopez (sore 

back) ... Oakland was without CF 

Mark Kotsay (knee). ... 

Baltimore LHP Tim Byrdak, 

who’s been on the disabled list 

since spring training after elbow 

surgery, allowed one run and two 

hits Monday in his first rehab 

assignment, for Single-A 

Aberdeen against Jamestown. ... 

The last Oakland starter to win in 

his debut was Aaron Harang, on 

May 25, 2002. ... Eric Chavez 

played his 50th straight errorless 

game at 3B, nine short of the 

Oakland team record.

the Tour this year following a twoyear 

doping ban, favors an amnesty 

for cyclists who come clean. The 

German T-Mobile team, after the 

scandal broke, told its riders to avoid 

seeing trainers or doctors whose reputations 

have been called into question. 

Armstrong used to boast that he 

was the world’s most tested athlete. 

And cycling’s rulebook is already 

among the strictest in pro sports when 

it comes to drugs. 

All cyclists are subject to unannounced 

drug tests throughout the 

year, and must tell the sport’s authorities 

where they are at all times — 

often by fax or via the Internet. 

“It’s definitely a pain, because 

sometimes I can’t tell my mother or 

my wife where I’m going to be in a 

week,” said George Hincapie, an 

American on the Discovery Channel 

team. “I mean, right now I don’t really 

know where I’m going to go after 

the Tour. 

“It’s hard to keep up, but it’s 

important.” 

Patrick McQuaid, the head of 

cycling’s governing body UCI, says 

no other sport ousts competitors from 

its events when their names turn up in 

doping investigations — even before 

their guilt is proven. 

That’s just what happened to nine 

riders — including 1997 Tour winner 

Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso, who won 

the Giro d’Italia in May — after their 

names emerged in a doping probe 

centering on a Spanish doctor. 

The doctor, Eufemiano Fuentes, 

was arrested in May after Spanish 

police seized drugs and frozen blood 

at a Madrid clinic — samples thought 

to have been readied for blood dop-

DUKE LACROSSE 

Every team 

member a 

potential 

witness 

By AARON BEARD 


DURHAM, N.C. — Every member 

of Duke University’s lacrosse 

team is a potential witness in the case 

against three players charged with 

rape, a prosecutor said Monday in 

arguing for access to their student ID 

card records. 

“We want to be able to confirm 

what they tell us about where they 

went afterward,” District Attorney 

Mike Nifong said of the uncharged 

players. 

The cards can be used to buy 

things and gain access to campus 

buildings. Attorneys for the 

uncharged players argued Monday 

that the information is protected by 

federal privacy laws and that 

Nifong’s May 31 subpoenas for the 

records were flawed. 

The subpoenas also sought a list of 

the uncharged players’ home addresses, 

which Nifong said he needed to 

ensure he could call the players to testify 

at trial. A trial is unlikely to be 

held before next spring. 

“We’re not trying to investigate 

them,” Nifong said. “We are not trying 

to say there are crimes that we 

want to prove they are guilty of. We 

want to be put in a position to call 

them to tell the jury in Durham what 

they observed go on that night when 

this took place.” 

Judge Kenneth C. Titus said he 

would probably decide the issue on 

Friday. 

The three players charged with 

raping a stripper at an off-campus 

party in March — Reade Seligmann, 

Collin Finnerty and David Evans — 

did not attend the hearing.

inconsistency 

Kentucky Derby 

champion remains 

in stable condition 

By DAN GELSTON 


KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. — Barbaro’s 

vital signs, appetite and heart rate remained 

normal Monday, though there was no indication 

the Kentucky Derby winner’s condition 

has improved since a grim prognosis by his 

veterinarian last week. 

The colt, who had 80 percent of his left rear 

hoof wall removed last week, still faces the 

same tough odds to survive a severe case of 

laminitis and a reconstructed right hind leg. 

For the fourth straight day, Dr. Dean 

Richardson said Barbaro’s condition remained 

stable. 

“He had a restful night last night,” 

Richardson said Monday on “Good Morning 

America.” 

“That’s really how we’re assessing him each 

night as whether or not he gets up and down 

and sleeps well and then when he gets up that 

he eats normally. His vital signs are all good. 

He had a very good night last night. His heart 

rate is absolutely normal. He’s eating well. If 

you were to see him, you’d think he’s a fairly 

comfortable, happy horse. But his pain is being 

intensively managed.” 

Richardson, who has treated Barbaro since 

the colt shattered his right hind leg a few yards 

after the start of the Preakness Stakes on May 

20, said the best case scenario is still “many 

months of very extensive medical care and 

rehabilitation.” 

Assistant trainer Peter Brette emerged after 

a Sunday morning visit to the intensive care 

unit and said the colt “is in a good frame of 

mind.” 

“He was bright,” Brette added. “He sort of 

at least had a bit of sparkle in his eye.” 

Brette, who exercised the colt daily for 

trainer Michael Matz, has been visiting 

Barbaro almost every day since Barbaro was 

injured. 

“We’re still very worried,” Brette added,

“I’m sure there are still 

other Dr. Fuentes’ in the 

world,” Pineau said. “One 

store has been closed, but others 

have been opened. ... I 

think there are still riders trying 

to slip through the net.” 

The allegations were the 

biggest to rock the Tour since 

a scandal involving the 

Festina team nearly derailed 

the race in 1998.

Giants outfield Jason Ellison was demoted to the minors last 

week after a mediocre stint with the major league club. 

By CARL STEWARD 

ANG Newspapers 

Sunday’s demotion of first 

baseman Lance Niekro to Triple- 

A, coming on the heels of Jason 

Ellison being sent down last week, 

was yet another black eye for an 

easy critical punching bag - the 

San Francisco Giants' perennially 

mystifying farm system. 

Niekro is 27 years old and 

Ellison is 28, well past the point 

they could be considered 

prospects on the rise. 

The same could be said for outfielder 

Todd Linden, a great-looking 

minor-league player who just 

can't seem to break through in the 

bigs. 

In his latest callup this weekend, 

Linden roped a single to left 

but was promptly thrown out at 

second trying to stretch the hit into 

a double. 

Everybody agrees the Giants 

need to get younger - and soon - 

but is this pattern of inconsistency 

and outright failure ever going to 

change, particularly among the 

club's prospective position players? 

If it doesn't, the Giants' fortunes 

could turn bleak for the foreseeable 

future regardless of how this 

season turns out. 

We know this: With 10 free 

agents at year's end, including 

Barry Bonds, Steve Finley, Moises 

Alou, Ray Durham, Jason 

Schmidt and Pedro Feliz, a massive 

overhaul could be in the offing. 

That list doesn't include catcher 

Mike Matheny, either, whose 

career may be in jeopardy due to 

post-concussive symptoms that 

have landed him on the 60-day 

disabled list. 

Unfortunately, the younger 

players the Giants have added to 

the veteran mix haven't really 

offered a bright vision of the 

He’s urging others to join him. 

“In the next few years, the 

big guys in cycling have to 

say they are doing it clean. 

They have to actually say it,” 

he said, adding that many are 

afraid to do so because “they 

have skeletons in their closet.” 

Riders cover more than 

1,800 miles in the three-week 

Tour. Every stage strains muscles, 

burns huge amounts of 

energy and drains massive 

amounts of water from the 

body through sweat. 

“So there’s more drive to 

do that (doping) when ... you 

know it only takes small steps 

to get to the highest level,” T- 

Mobile team doctor Lothar 

Heinrich said. 

future when given the chance. 

Niekro was hitting .249 with 

four homers when he was 

optioned to Fresno and even his 

defense has been suspect of late. 

He has battled injuries, but he 

hasn't exactly wowed anyone even 

when healthy, which is why the 

Giants are scouring for replacements 

like Sean Casey and Craig 

Wilson in trade. 

Of course, the Giants are used 

“but it’s very good for me to go in and see him 

like this.” 

Barbaro has casts on both rear limbs. The 

cast on the colt’s right hind has been changed 

at least four times in the last two weeks at the 

George D. Widener Hospital for Large 

Animals. 

A smaller cast is on the left rear hoof, and 

the bandages protecting it were changed 

Saturday, and are likely to be changed again in 

the coming days. 

On Wednesday, veterinarians performed a 

procedure to remove most of the hoof wall in 

Barbaro’s left rear leg to combat the laminitis, 

a painful, often-fatal foot disease usually 

caused by uneven weight distribution in the 

limbs. 

The disease could appear in another limb at 

any time, and if it does, it would likely result in 

the horse being humanely destroyed. 

Barbaro has been listed in stable condition 

since Friday, the day after Richardson said the 

colt had laminitis “as bad as it gets” and termed 

his chance of survival poor. 

While Barbaro’s condition is being constantly 

monitored, it was a relatively quiet 

weekend around the New Bolton Center. 

Residents and interns tended to their rounds, 

checking on the many other animals in their 

care. 

One resident said he’s treating two goats in 

the stall next to Barbaro’s. 

Homemade signs that implored the colt to 

keep fighting and that they would keep believing 

continued to be posted on the fence near 

the hospital’s entrance. 

Other signs thanked Dr. Richardson and his 

staff while one read “God Bless Barbaro. Hang 

in There!” with a single red rose taped next to 

the message. 

A couple from Hershey, Pa., made a side trip 

to the hospital and left a get-well card at the 

front desk before heading to the races at nearby 

Delaware Park. 

“So many people are rooting for Barbaro to 

make it — he was going to be our Triple 

Crown winner,” Dawn Templin said a few 

minutes after admiring the get-well cards, 

flowers and fruit baskets on display in the 

lobby. “We came here to leave a card, and just 

see the place where they’re trying to save his 

life.” 

The best-known riders 

often face the most scrutiny. 

Ullrich had 10 anti-doping 

controls by various agencies 

while training for the Tour — 

including three straight surprise 

tests on three consecutive 

days after the Giro, 

Heinrich said. 

But even with such controls, 

the cat-and-mouse game 

is likely to go on. 

“It’s human nature to try to 

cheat the system. It happens in 

cycling, it happens in business,” 

said Australian Michael 

Rogers of T-Mobile. “You 

can’t control everyone — 

unless they want to have a 

chaperone that sleeps with the 

person every night.” 

Dragons,

to having their farm system lambasted 

and have long pointed to 

their record of success in spite of 

it. Since Brian Sabean assumed 

the role of general manager the 

Giants have the third-best record 

in baseball building primarily 

through the free agent/trade route. 

No one is quite sure how the 

post-Bonds era will take shape. 

Yes, the Giants will have plenty of 

money to spend on free agents, but 

they aren't going to be able to fill 

all the holes with established 

major-leaguers. 

They could be looking at filling 

two outfield spots, three of the 

four infield spots and catcher. 

They'd love to re-sign Schmidt, 

too, but a lot of clubs could be 

after him.In the end, the club finally 

may be forced into a youth 

movement from within. But is it 

there? Good question. 

Surprisingly, only the Detroit 

Tigers had a better organizational 

record than the Giants among their 

combined minor league teams last 

year, even with the Triple-A 

Fresno club turning in its usual 

sub-.500 season. 

But much of that success was at 

the Class A level or below, success 

that's being repeated this season. 

So there does appear to be some 

hope down on the farm for the 

Giants. But it may involve a wait, 

and possibly a long, painful one at 

the major-league level unless 

players like Niekro, Ellison and 

others can alter their current career 

arcs.

L.A. student becomes 

youngest to win World 

Series of Poker event 

By RYAN NAKASHIMA 


LAS VEGAS — A 21-year-old film student 

from Los Angeles who dipped into a 

college fund and his parents’ wallets for 

his entry stakes has become the youngest 

player to win a World Series of Poker 

event. 

Jeff Madsen, at 21 years, one month and 

nine days old, outlasted 1,578 players over 

a three-day, $2,000 buy-in no-limit 

hold’em event, to earn $660,948 and his 

first World Series of Poker bracelet late 

Sunday night. 

“I convinced them that I was going to 

play well,” Madsen said of his parents, 

who put up $3,500 to help him buy into 

several events. He took $6,000 more out of 

a fund his grandfather started to help pay 

for college to buy into other events. 

Madsen’s successful run began early in 

the world’s biggest poker marathon, which 

began June 25 and wraps up Aug. 10. Two 

weeks ago, he placed third in an Omaha 

high-low tournament to win $97,552. 

In his final hand Sunday, Madsen held a 

jack and seven against an ace and seven of 

Taiwanese-born software executive Paul 

Sheng. After the turn card showed a board 

of 10, nine, eight and six, all of Sheng’s 

chips went in the pot. Madsen called with 

a higher straight and won. 

The previous youngest player to win a 

World Series of Poker bracelet was Eric 

Froehlich, who won a $1,500 limit 

hold’em event last year at 21 years, three 

months and three days old. 

Garon

qualifying 

offer 


LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles goalie 

Mathieu Garon accepted his qualifying 

offer on Monday and signed a one-year 

deal worth $1.216 million to stay with the 

Kings. 

The 28-year-old Garon went 31-26-3 

record with a 3.22 goals-against average 

and .894 save percentage last season, his 

first in Los Angeles. He was chosen as the 

NHL defensive player of the month in 

December when he was 9-3 and allowed 

three goals or fewer in 11 of 12 starts. 

In 106 NHL games with the Kings and 

Montreal Canadiens, Garon is 47-46-3. 

The Kings also announced Monday that 

they signed forward Tim Jackman to a 

one-year contract.

Changes coming at Candlestick 

49ers announce new 

stadium design 

By MARCUS WOHLSEN 


SAN FRANCISCO — The 

San Francisco 49ers on 

Monday unveiled an updated 

design plan for a new stadium 

at Candlestick Point that 

would add enough seats to 

host a major event such as the 

Olympics. 

The team hopes to finance 

the building of the new stadium 

that is estimated to cost 

between $600 million and 

$800 million entirely through 

private funding. 

The planned 68,000-seat, 

open-air venue could be 

$5 

Suggested 

Donation 

expanded up to 80,000 seats 

for larger events. The new stadium 

would offer expansive 

views of the city skyline and 

San Francisco Bay. 

The extra seating was 

included to give San 

Francisco a single location 

with enough seats to host the 

opening and closing ceremonies 

of an Olympic Games. 

The new design has been 

included as part of San 

Francisco’s bid for the 2016 

Summer Olympics, said Lisa 

Lang, vice president of communications 

for the 49ers. 

The additional seats could 

also improve San Francisco’s 

chances for hosting a Super 

Bowl or World Cup soccer 

events. 

Plans to replace the 46- 

year-old stadium at 

Candlestick Point have been 

under consideration since 

1997, when city voters authorized 

a $100 million bond to 

help pay for the project. 

“We know there is public 

concern about using the bond 

money approved by the voters, 

so our goal is to find alternative 

ways to finance the 

new stadium,” 49ers team coowner 

John York said in a 

statement. 

The team’s development 

partner, Lennar Corp., plans to 

present its proposal for the 

Candlestick Point property in 

the city’s Bayview-Hunter’s 

Point neighborhood later this 

summer.

HEALTH 

Dads 


foster dad. Listening, encouraging, 

providing consequences 

when necessary, and most of all 

letting them know as only dads 

can of your caring about them 

can help a foster child while 

they are part of your family. 

Foster dads also learn to let 

go, as most children are 

returned or reunified with their 

birth parents. So the satisfaction 

in caring for a foster child 

is being there for them for part 

of their journey through life. 

However, some children aren’t 

returned to their parents, as it 

isn’t in the child’s best interest. 

These children may then stay 

with the foster family until they 

finish high school. One of our 

foster homes has three teen 

boys who have been with these 

caring parents many years. 

These boys will finish school 

and go on to establish their 

lives having had the stability of 

being with these parents for 

that important period of their 

lives prior to going out on their 

own. 

These long-term foster parents 

are in great demand for not 

everyone is willing to step up to 

the plate and care for someone 

else’s child. And even in 

greater demand are foster 

dads/families who are willing 

to become fost-adopt families. 

These families are willing to 

take children who are wards of 

the court due to termination of 

parental rights. These 

dads/families are willing to 

adopt these children. These 

children then have a most 

important opportunity to have a 

second chance at having a forever 

family. They then become 

a permanent part of your family 

and have a home base to 

operate from for the rest of 

their lives. Isn’t that a good 

thing? Doesn’t every child 

deserve a forever family? 

At the time of this writing 

we have an eleven-year-old 

boy in one of our long-term 

foster homes who wants a forever 

family. This boy, who for 

the purposes of this article will 

be called Nick (not his real 

name), is available for adoption. 

Nick has many good qualities. 

He is a good student, 

polite, friendly, funny, caring, 

and a good athlete. He is not 

presenting any problems in his 

current foster home. He needs a 

family who is active, warm, 

friendly, and child-centered. 

His present foster parent is 

thoughtfully considering the 

possibility of adopting Nick. 

This thoughtfulness reflects 

how each family must carefully 

consider their commitments to 

foster children, whether it is to 

become foster parents or fostadopt 

parents. 

Most dads/families who 

may be thinking about the possibility 

of providing foster care 

or foster/adopt care, may be 

wondering how can we afford 

another child? Fortunately, 

money is available for each 

type of home. Money is available 

to cover the expenses of 

raising the foster child. In addition 

health coverage for medical, 

dental care is also covered 

by money provided through 

taxes paid by everyone. This 

money is paid on a monthly 

basis for as long as the child is 

in the home be it short term foster 

care which averages six 

months to a year, or long term 

care until the child finishes 

high school, and also for adoption 

until the child graduates 

from high school. 

In addition to monetary provision, 

social workers from 


Department of Social Services 

meet with the child on a monthly 

base while also working with 

the child’s parent toward reunification. 

And in the case of our 

agency, True to Life Children's 

Services, social workers meet 

with the foster child and the 

foster parent(s) once a week to 

assist in any way needed, 

including working through 

problems, which may arise. 

I will close as I began. There 

is a social crisis in our nation, 

which is father absence. This is 

also true in Mendocino County. 

I therefore appeal to dads/families 

to consider becoming a 

special dad/family to a foster 

child or to a child waiting to be 

adopted similar to young Nick. 

In either case, contact True to 

Life Children's Services at 463- 

1100 to learn how you and your 

family can become certified as 

foster parents or foster/adoptive 

parents. Other agencies 

which certify foster parents are 

Mendocino Co. Department of 

Social Services, 463-7990, 

Redwood Children’s Services, 

467-2000, Tapestry, 463-3300, 

and for adoptions contact 

California State Adoptions, 

588-5007. 

(Though this article was 

written to encourage dads to 

consider foster parenting or 

adoption, this in no way is 

meant to say foster moms 

aren’t equally important. They 

are vital and necessary. This is 

definitely a family affair. 

However, our agency has two 

licensed homes in which the 

single foster moms in both 

homes provide much needed 

care for teen girls. Though we 

don’t have any single foster 

dads, this could be a possibility 

just as single foster moms are a 

reality). 

For Dads From Dads is a 

monthly feature article written 

by Herman Meadows and Tom 

Buske, both dads. Herman is a 

physical therapist and owner of 

Meadows Physical Therapy, 

located at the Park Falls Plaza. 

Tom is a social worker for True 

to Life Children's Services as 

well as a private counselor who 

offers counseling for men and 

fathers with a special emphasis 

on Christian counseling for 

those who desire it. He may be 

contacted at 468-8409. The 

intent of these articles is to 

acknowledge the absolute 

value fathers play in the lives of 

their children. This is in now 

way meant to diminish the 

absolute value of the mother’s 

role. Our hope is mothers too 

will find these articles to be of 

value.

Benefits can result for 

you in the year ahead from 

participation in social activities 

with as many friends as 

possible. Among them one 

or more may put you onto 

something which could 

bring you financial gain. 

CANCER (June 21-July 

ASTROGRAPH 

By Bernice Bede Osol 

22) -- Do yourself a big 

favor and be sensible and 

prudent when it comes to 

your spending habits. If 

there are any frivolous 

expenditures on your wish 

list, cross them off immediately. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - 

- Just when everything is 

going great, adverse conditions 

may arise and block 

you from achieving an 

important objective. Know 

that if you regroup and try 

again, you’ll succeed. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 

22) -- Small irritations, 

which you would normally 

tolerate well, could be the 

source of aggravation for 

you. Bring back your old 

self and keep those petty 

annoyances in proper perspective. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 

23) -- Be on guard or something 

of a material nature 

could become a sticky issue 

between you and a close 

friend. It’s not like you or 

your pal to put worldly 

things ahead of good friendship. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 

22) -- Should you be pressured 

into making some kind 

of an agreement, it is quite 

likely that later you will 

renege on it. Save yourself a 

lot of trouble later by saying 

no in the first place. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 

23-Dec. 21) -- Some kind of 

issue at work which has 

been causing you problems 

can be corrected with a little 

effort. The solution that 

comes to you may not be 

perfect, but it’ll be an 

improvement. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- 

Jan. 19) -- For your reputation’s 

sake, it is best not to 

associate with an acquaintance 

who doesn’t always 

operate honestly and out in 

the open. Don’t let this individual 

mar your good name. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- 

Feb. 19) -- Be the one who 

is sets the example of compromise 

regarding a touchy 

domestic issue. Your concession 

will make it better for 

everyone involved, and 

make you the bigger person. 

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 

20) -- At times you have a 

tendency to overcomplicate 

situations and this could be 

the case when it comes to an 

assigned task you resent 

doing. Remain positive, so 

that you can do a good job. 

ARIES (March 21-April 

19) -- That financial advice 

you give to another will be 

quite sound and helpful to 

the individual. It’s just too 

bad that you don’t use the 

same advice yourself in your 

own monetary affairs. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 

20) -- Associates in general 

will find you an amicable 

person to work with, but 

when it comes to working in 

tandem with members of 

your own family, you’ll not 

receive any glowing accolades. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 

20) -- Don’t block yourself 

in a corner by putting limitations 

on your thinking. 

Instead do just the opposite 

by examining in depth all 

the wonderful possibilities 

there are at your disposal.

(Answers tomorrow) 

PAYEE DITTO OUTLET VISION 

What the carpentry student did when he took 

the test — “NAILED” IT 

Mother worries about her children playing with violent toys 

Dear Annie: I am the parent of two boys, 

“Thomas” and “Henry,” and I always have 

been very careful about not handing them fake 

weapons to play with. I believe that if they are 

introduced to violent toys at a young age, they 

will be more likely to end up using such 

weapons in real life when they grow up. Most 

of their friends’ parents understand and respect 

my opinion whenever my boys play at their 

homes. One particular family, however, doesn’t. 

My children were over at “Jerry’s” house 

recently, and when I went to pick them up, I 

found them playing with violent toys. I have 

strongly stated to the child’s mother my theory 

regarding these items and asked her politely 

not to let my boys use such weapons. They 

continue to use inappropriate toys at her home, 

and she always says it won’t happen again, yet 

she doesn’t try very hard to stop it. 

I don’t want to prevent Thomas and Henry 

from playing at Jerry’s house, but I need the 

TUESDAY EVENING 

7/18/06 

toy weapons to be put away. How can I get 

through to this woman? -- Nonviolent in the 

Midwest 

Dear Nonviolent: We understand why you 

don’t want your children playing with toy 

guns, but you cannot control what someone 

else’s children play with in their own home. 

You only get to determine whether your children 

will visit at that home. 

Playing with toy guns does not necessarily 

make your child more violent, or more likely to 

use real guns. What matters is your attitude 

toward such play, because your children will 

take their cues from you. Explain to Henry and 

Thomas the harm real guns can do and why

you don’t like them to play with such toys. 

(This won’t, of course, stop creative children 

from making guns out of paper, Legos or slices 

of cheese. Good luck, Mom.) 

Dear Annie: I recently attended a luncheon 

with a group of co-workers. After lunch, we 

played a game called “Greed,” where everyone 

picks a wrapped grab-bag gift off a table. (We 

each brought gifts that were no more than $10.) 

One of my co-workers picked my gift, which 

was a set of spices in glass containers with its 

own carrying case. 

The co-worker then stated repeatedly that 

she doesn’t cook, that she was going to kick the 

gift across the room, and that she definitely 

intended to give it away. I was hurt and humiliated, 

and so embarrassed that I didn’t admit it 

was my gift. 

How do I continue to work with such a rude, 

inconsiderate person? -- Salted and Peppered 

in New York 

Dear N.Y.: You pretend it never happened. 

Your gift was lovely, and someone else would 

have appreciated it a great deal. The co-worker’s 

infantile tantrum was inexcusable and 

doesn’t deserve a second thought. 

Dear Annie: I would like to thank “M.R.,” 

who wrote in about Hashimoto’s Syndrome, a 

form of hypothyroidism. I, too, have been suffering 

from hair loss, weight gain and fatigue. 

I’ve had my thyroid checked numerous times, 

but the results always came back normal. My 

doctors just attributed my symptoms to 

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and insulin 

resistance. 

My mother read your column and urged me 

to get tested for Hashimoto’s. I got my results 

back today, and my antibody levels were nine 

times the acceptable amount! I don’t yet know 

how much my thyroid has been damaged, but I 

imagine it would have been a lot more if Mom 

hadn’t seen that letter. I honestly can’t thank 

the writer enough. -- Greensboro, N.C. 

Dear Greensboro: We’re thankful your 

mother saw that letter, and glad that you now 

have a proper diagnosis. Stay well.

Camp 


funding, the free five-week 

day camp that began in late 

June gives 6 to 12-year-olds 

the chance to learn about 

their Mexican heritage. 

This year, the camp is held 

at Yokayo School where both 

breakfast and lunch are provided 

through the Ukiah 

Unified School District. 

When Soria started, the meals 

came from local restaurants 

willing to donate food. He 

thanked sponsors like the S. 

H. Cowell Foundation and 

the California Department of 

Education's Migrant, Indian 

and International Education 

Office, who authored a grant 

for funding, Social Services 

and the school district for 

helping the day camp expand. 

Soria, program coordinator 

for Plan Vacacional and also 

family center coordinator for 

Nuestra Casa, said he initiated 

the program years ago 

because of the conflicts he 

saw arise between parents 

and children who were 

ashamed of their heritage. 

“This program helps to 

integrate the family because 

the children will understand 

the culture of the parents,” 

Soria said. 

From 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 

p.m., camp attendees learn 

Mexican history, traditions, 

Flag 


fees incurred from performing 

the work without such permits. 

If council members find 

that the pole and associated 

concrete pad and lighting system 

are not within standards, 

they could deny the use permit 

and ask that the pole be 

games, crafts, cultural dances 

and songs, and improve their 

Spanish langauge skills. For 

the first time, Plan Vacacional 

is also running a pilot program 

to improve English 

reading-comprehension and 

writing. 

Four of the teachers come 

from the Mexican states 

Zacatecas and Puebla through 

the Binational Migrant 

Education Program, an international 

program between the 

Mexican Consulate and the 

Migrant, Indian and 

International Education 

Office. 

Ana Maria Soto from 

Puebla, a psychologist who 

also holds a master of education 

in Mexico, came for the 

experience. In her classroom 

of first and second graders, 

she is teaching about traditions 

this week. Earlier, the 

students learned about the 

Mexican holiday Three Kings 

Day, which celebrates the 

three wise men who brought 

gifts to Christ’s birth. 

“They wrote letters to the 

kings, and in most of these 

letters, the kids asked to have 

more time to play with their 

parents,” Soto said with the 

aid of a Soria, who translated. 

“The connection to their 

tradition that they learn here 

is so important,” Mireya 

Gaona, program coordinator 

for Plan Vacacional, said. She 

explained that the program 

gives children self-esteem 

removed, or conditionally 

approve the use permit if the 

pole is modified to fit within 

the guidelines. 

Planning Commissioners 

James Mulheren and Mike 

Whetzel voted in favor of 

granting a permit in May, 

agreeing with a City of Ukiah 

staff that found the size and 

location of the pole, as well as 

the minor grading, concrete 

pad and associated lighting 

system to pose no threat to 

and confidence knowing 

about their heritage and identifying 

with their parents. The 

connection, she said, later 

leads them to feel more 

secure in the community and 

more likely to contribute positively 

as citizens. 

Self-esteem also comes 

from seeing the positive role 

played by Latino adults, 

according to Soria. 

“I have some kids that 

come to me and say, ‘Are you 

the principal Moises? Are 

you the principal?’ They are 

very proud of someone having 

their own heritage be in 

that position, and it helps 

them to think, I can be a 

teacher or I can do that,” 

Soria said. 

Santiago Simental, who 

sits on the Nuestra Casa 

board of directors, said many 

of the students who have 

become too old for the program 

return as volunteers. 

“I really feel proud 

because I see these volunteers 

coming back and I get a very 

positive reaction from parents,” 

Soria said. 

On July 28, the Plan 

Vacacional campers will have 

a chance to show their parents 

and the public all that 

they have learned at the closing 

ceremony, including 

dances and skits. It will begin 

at 11 a.m. in the Yokayo 

School gymnasium and run 

until 1 p.m. 

Gabriel Baca, 9, is looking 

public health, safety or welfare. 

Planning Commissioners 

Ken Anderson and Judy 

Pruden voted against granting 

the permit, and Commissioner 

Kevin Jennings was absent, 

leaving the vote at a tie. 

The same staff report that 

recommended Hull and 

Piffero be granted the permit 

noted that “flying the 

American flag is not at issue,” 

forward to the ceremony 

because he “loves celebrations.” 

He has also enjoyed 

his time at the camp. 

“What I like about Plan 

Vacacional is to meet new 

friends and know more of the 

Mexican culture,” Baca said. 

Rubi Torres, 8, said she 

will dance at ceremony. 

Along with doing crafts, like 

beadwork, paper cut-outs and 

decorated tiles scattered 

about one classroom, she 

mentioned learning about the 

states of Mexico. 

“They love the games and 

learning Mexican history,” 

her teacher, Angeles Carreon 

from Zacatecas, said, as 

translated by Soria. Carreon 

specializes in Mexican folk 

dance. 

Melina Garcia, 10, told of 

how she learned the origin of 

the Mexican flag. Both she 

and Azucena Aguilar, 9, said 

the favorite thing they’ve 

done this year at camp was 

make traditional corn-husk 

dolls. 

Gaona noted that along 

with teaching children about 

their parents’ cultural background, 

Plan Vacacional 

keeps the kids busy learning 

instead of becoming involved 

in gang or other negative 

activities. 

“They see they have more 

good things to learn than bad 

things,” Gaona said 

Katie Mintz can be reached at 

udjkm@pacific.net. 

a point that has been lost to 

some. Numerous letters from 

the public submitted to the 

Daily Journal, and letters from 

as far away as Washington, 

Idaho and Arizona submitted 

to the City Council for consideration 

have attempted turned 

the debate to one over patriotism.

Missing plane found 

near Blue Lake 

BLUE LAKE (AP) — A musician - a trombonist according 

to the Eureka Times-Standard - flying to Humboldt County to 

attend a music camp died when his single-engine plane crashed 

in a remote area near Blue Lake. 

Search and rescue teams found his plane just before noon 

Monday. 

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office received a report 

early Monday that the plane flying from Los Angeles had not 

landed as scheduled Sunday at the Arcata/Eureka airport. 

A California Highway Patrol helicopter team discovered the 

wreckage later that morning. 

The pilot was the plane’s only occupant. He was pronounced 

dead at the scene. 

The sheriff’s office has not released the pilot’s name pending 

the notification of his family. 

Traffic 


UPD also hopes an additional 

traffic officer will make certain 

education opportunities 

possible. Education would 

focus on teaching children 

pedestrian and bicycle safety, 

especially around Ukiah’s 

many schools where the roads 

are also major traffic routes 

for those commuting to and 

from work. 

“These are simple concepts 

but they are important for the 

community,” Dewey said. 

The Police Department is 

also actively pursuing the hire 

of a second school resource 

officer as suggested by the 

Mendocino County grand 

jury. Dewey said he is 

researching the available 

grants that would provide the 

money for that position. 

“Our goal is to add a school 

resource officer in the next

couple of years,” Dewey said. 

Currently the Ukiah school 

system has one school 

resource officer, Chris 

Gordon. During the 180-day 

school year, Gordon responds 

to an average 500 calls for 

service. Responding to these 

calls is critical, Dewey said. 

“Ukiah High School is the 

fourth largest city in 

Mendocino County during the 

day,” a school administrator 

told Dewey during a recent 

meeting. 

The Police Department will 

also continue focusing on 

recruitment, Dewey said. So 

far in 2006, UPD has filled six 

open positions and hopes to 

fill three more before the year 

is out. 

To this end, UPD has started 

a workshop program that 

can help guide those who are 

thinking about working as a 

police officer through the 

process of applying for the 

job
