our readers will find letters
concerning the
unfortunate error we
made in Tuesday’s Daily
Journal naming Officer
David Gerstenkorn as
the arrestee in a DUI in
our Page 2 Daily Digest.
He was the arresting
officer, not the drunken
driver and we corrected
the error in Wednesday’s

today’s letters clear it up

Fake bills
passed at
2 markets
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
The Ukiah Police Department
and the Mendocino
County Sheriff’s Office are
investigating two incidents in
which counterfeit $100 bills
were passed at two grocery
stores Friday night.
The counterfeit money was
passed at both Raley’s and
Food Maxx. Raley’s contacted
the police but Food Maxx
accepted the bills, said Ukiah
Police Sgt. Greg Heitkamp.
There were no suspects in
custody on Saturday, and it is
not known if the two crimes
are related or if it is merely a
coincidence.
The suspects in the sheriff’s
case are described as two
young women, one white and
one black. There are no current
suspect descriptions in
the UPD case.
Heitkamp said officers
would return to Food Maxx
Saturday to review security
camera tapes and try to determine
who might have passed
the counterfeit bills.
It is not currently known if
the bills were produced in the
county or if the suspects had
come from outside the county,
he said.
“Sometimes people come
from out of the county to pass
fake bills,” Heitkamp said.
He said counterfeiters will
also often convince locals to
pass the fake bills for them.
The cases remain under
investigation.

Event of the Heart
Next weekend’s

Tickets are still

Annual Event of the

This Saturday’s event, hosted by
the Mendocino County AIDS

fundamental support for MCAVN’s
work preventing the transmission
of HIV and Hepatitis C.
“Between 2000 and 2005, 773

Hepatitis C were
reported in
Mendocino County,
averaging 155 cases
per year, making this
chronic disease the
fastest growing
infection in the
county. Eighty

states the 2006

never work out for her.
When Daphne becomes increasingly
tired of seeing her daughter
get hurt she decides to put a personal
ad on an online dating service
without Milly knowing.
I went to this movie not thinking
that it was going to be anything but
a boring film that is similar to
Keaton’s other recent movie
“Something’s Gotta Give,” but it
turned out to be a very fun, laughout-
loud comedy.
I really enjoyed listening to the
upbeat songs chosen for this film and the entertaining
storyline. The wardrobe is up-to-date, unusual
and works great for this film.
I would recommend this movie more to young
adult and adult viewers. I think they will find it more
humorous then younger children.

After an absence of more than five
decades, a life-sized statue of
Seabiscuit, the racing horse that captivated
Depression-era audiences, will
return to its home at the Ridgewood
Ranch in Willits.
“It’s just wonderful to be getting a
statue of the Biscuit back to the ranch
where it belongs,” said Tracy
Livingston, president of the Seabiscuit
Heritage Foundation, a nonprofit organization.
The statue is being cast by Atlas

statue.

WILLIAM LINCOLN
BITTENBENDER
William Lincoln
Bittenbender died peacefully
at his home on Thursday
morning, February
1, 2007, at the age of 90.
Bill was born February
12, 1916 in a little unnamed
mill town in
Northwestern California
that no longer exists. One
of the greatest
storytellers ever, he is survived
by his wife,
Christin and was predeceased
by his parents,
Lloyd and Martha
Bittenbender.
Viewing at Eversole
Mortuary is February 5,
2007, from noon to 5 p.m.
and 6-8 p.m. A funeral
service will be held
on Tuesday, February
6, 2007 at 11 a.m. at
Eversole Mortuary.
A graduate of Oakland
Polytechnic College of
Engineering, Bill was an
engineer for a private
contractor on the “big
island” of Hawaii
when Pearl Harbor was
bombed. Upon returning
to Ukiah he first
worked at and then
owned Bittenbender
Lumber Company for
more than 50 years.
Bill was a member of
many prestigious organizations
including Masonic
Abell Lodge 146,
Royal Arch, Aahmes
Shrine, Pomo Shrine,
Redwood Empire Council,
Ukiah Rotary,
Commonwealth Club of San
Francisco and
Ukiah Commandry. He was
also a member of
the First Presbyterian
Church of Ukiah.
The Rev. Larry
Ballenger, retired pastor of
the
First Presbyterian Church
of Ukiah, reflected
on Bill’s friendship: “Bill
was from an old
Ukiah family and was
active in the Presbyterian
Church at the time that
the present sanctuary
was built. He was on

building, his enterprise,
his project.
Whenever I would connect
with Bill at Rotary or in
town somewhere, he
would have wonderful stories
to tell about the
building and development
of the church. He
loved to give me books and
tell me about
books. Bill was a Ukiah
version of the bon vivant,
who knew all the stories
and where everything
used to be.”
Barbara Eversole
reflected on her friend’s
life:
“Bill was a lifelong friend
of mine-a very, very
nice man - so kind and considerate.
His death
is a great loss for the history
of our community
because he could remember
with accuracy
everything that happened
throughout his life.”
Bob and Barbara King
commented: “We’ve
been friends of Bill’s for
years. He came
home from Hawaii for our
wedding. We built a
boat together, we water
skied together, we
had a lot of fun through the
years”.
Bob added, “We met and
became friends
when my father rented
property from Bill’s father
Lloyd, where he had
the Packard Agency.
Bill had his pilot’s
license and we were in
a flying club together.
We’ve been like brothers
for years.”
Ukiah will miss this fine
gentleman.

Truck bomber
strikes market
in Baghdad
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) —
A suicide bomber driving a
truck loaded with a ton of
explosives hidden beneath
cooking oil, canned food and
bags of flour obliterated a
Baghdad food market on
Saturday, killing at least 121
people in one of the most
fearsome attacks in the capital
since the U.S. invasion in
2003.
It was the fifth major
bombing in less than a month
targeting predominantly
Shiite districts in Baghdad
and one provincial city to the
south. This one leveled about
30 shops and 40 houses, witnesses
said.
The Health Ministry said
more than 300 people were
injured in the thunderous
explosion that sent a column
of smoke into the sky on the
east bank of the Tigris River.
The nearby al-Kindi hospital
— quickly overwhelmed —
began turning away the
wounded and directing ambulances
to hospitals in the
Shiite Sadr City neighborhood.
U.S. Ambassador Zalmay
Khalilzad said the bombing
was “an example of what the
forces of evil will do to intimidate
the Iraqi people.”

Afreeze on the production of nuclear weapons in the
United States and the Soviet Union was unanimously
endorsed by the Ukiah City Council last night.
... “Frankly,” conservative Councilmember Hays Hickey
said about the nuclear freeze resolution presented by the
Ukiah-based Coalition for Peace on Earth, “I have doubts that
Russia would receive this as a move toward peace.”
Coalition member John Takes said the resolution is a
chance for the council to participate in the only nuclear war
strategy that can work – “and that’s the plan not to fight one.”
Ukiahan Linda Foster spoke against the resolution, saying
the United States doesn’t have enough weapons to assure its
independence. Said she, “I think this country needs to build up
whatever it takes to keep us from being taken over.”
Councilmember Mary Snyder, who successfully proposed
some changes in the wording of the resolution, said that “It’s
really important to stop production of any new weapons. We
already have enough to end civilization as we know it.”
And Councilmember Kate Riley added: “It’s pretty
frustrating to be planning for the future of Ukiah when there’s
a strong chance Ukiah will not exist in five years.”
About a month ago the Mendocino County Board of
Supervisors also voted to support the resolution. Supervisors
John Cimolino and Tom Crofoot abstained, and a debate
began over whether the board should vote on national issues
not directly related to the county.
No such debate emerged from the city council’s move last
night. Changes in the wording of the resolution included
deletion of statistics the council decided it could not verify for
itself.

The (city) council voted to establish a committee to help
coordinate the city’s proposal to sell up to $23 million in
revenue bonds to fund construction of the 2.5 megawatt
Coyote Dam hydroelectric project at Lake Mendocino.
The bond issue will be on the June 8 ballot as one of four
city measures.

FOUR HELD IN BANK ROBBERY. Four suspects were
arrested by Mendocino County sheriff’s deputies after the
Laytonville branch of the Bank of Willits was robbed
yesterday.
The suspects were arrested in Boonville a little over three
hours after the robbery occurred at 2:14 p.m., the sheriff’s
department reported.
Deputy Keith Squires was alerted by an Anderson Valley
resident yesterday that a vehicle similar to the wanted vehicle
had been spotted in the area. Squires stopped the car on
Highway 128 out of Boonville at 5:32 p.m. and arrested the
four suspects ... all from outside of the county.

CALPELLA BOY RUNS BETWEEN CARS, BUMPS
INTO TRUCK. Edward Pearson, 7, of Calpella received
bruises and abrasions Saturday afternoon when he darted
between two parked cars in the 300 block of North School
street into the right side of a pickup driven by Roland Moore
of 158 south highway. He was taken to the hospital by his
mother where his injuries were treated.
Jorge Marquez of the Palace Hotel reported the
disappearance of his 1948 Olds sedan which was taken from
its parking place in the 200 block of North School street
between the hours of 8 p.m. Friday and 11:30 a.m. Sunday.
Over the weekend doors to two places of business were
found unlocked, and the buildings inspected, by the night

ERICKSON ONLY ONE ALIVE OF FOUR IN PG&E
EXPLOSION. Ted Erickson, father of Ukiah Daily Journal
sports editor Glenn Erickson, is the only surviving person of
four who were trapped by an Oakland PG&E blast a week ago
last Wednesday.
A. B. Duesberry, veteran PG&E employee, critically burned
with Erickson in the explosion and fire which killed two
others immediately, succumbed Friday night at Franklin
Hospital. Two others, including a polio victim, had died at the
time of the flash fire which nearly trapped 175 workers.
Erickson continues to show improvement but it is expected
it will be months before he is able to leave the hospital.
Physicians say 40 percent of his body is burned, mostly third
degree burns of the back, hips and left side and leg.

TO LAKEPORT BY AUTO STAGE LINE. Wednesday, M.
SUNDAY, FEB. 4, 2007 – A-3
Sardon, a representative of the parties who are to install an
automobile stage line, running from Pieta into Lake county,
was in Cloverdale, says the Reveille, of that city.
Mr. Sardon stated that his company expects to install its
service in April or very soon thereafter. The toll road from
Pieta is to be made one of the best in the state, permitting the
passage of vehicles at any point, and at no point will the grade
be greater than 6 per cent.
The company figures on running seven large cars, with a
capacity of fifteen passengers each during the summer season.
In the winter months this will probably be reduced to three
cars making daily trips. Baggage on these cars will be limited
to fifty pounds for each passenger. Trunks and other heavy
baggage or express will be carried on a car built especially for
that purpose. The express or baggage car, as it might be called,
will run slower than the passenger autos, on account of its
lower gear and great weight, and will require about an hour
longer to make the trip to Lakeport.
A one hour wait for baggage is not considered any great
inconvenience, as by carrying heavy luggage in a separate car
there will be nothing to inconvenience passengers more than
their hand grips. Mr. Sardon was asked what would happen in
the event of a breakdown between stations. This, he stated, is
provided for. Should an accident occur, a telephone apparatus
is carried in the car and all that is necessary to do is to throw a
weighted line over the wire and communication may instantly
be had with any station on the line. Another car would
immediately be dispatched and arrive soon enough to permit
passengers to catch their train. He says auto stage lines have
met with great success in many parts of the country and there
is no reason why they should not be run successfully into
Lake county.
With the completion of the road an auto run will be made
from San Francisco to mark the event of the new and rapid
service to Lake county’s summer resorts. No part of the state
offers a finer trip for autoists, over good roads from Tiburon,
and through a picturesque country its entire length.

WWII diary stolen in burglary
Associated Press
ORANGEVALE — Ben Waldron carried his weathered
gray journal to treacherous places, at times hiding it under
banana leaves, buried in dirt and inside a prison latrine.
The diary is a daily log of executions, slave labor and
beatings that dismembered some of Waldron’s organs and
left him unable to have children. But the book survived,
along with its author, to tell the story of his 3 1/2 years of
captivity under the Japanese after the capture of
Corregidor in the Philippines during World War II.
Yet when Waldron, 84, and his wife, Gerri, returned
home from a luncheon for prisoner-of-war veterans, they
found their front door wide open and jewelry, papers and
military medals scattered on the floor.
Waldron’s only concern was the journal he kept locked
in a security box under his bed. It was gone.
“It’s not just any thing. I need to keep it,” the U.S. Army
corporal and former anti-aircraft gunner said Friday.
He wrote in the journal nightly after trading a doctor 12
cigarettes to get it in 1942.

States urge motorists to dial 911 on DUI drivers
Associated Press
WASHINGTON —
Driving home one night,
Caroline Cash spotted a black
Honda swaying in and out of
its lane on a busy Interstate in
suburban Washington.
Cash was concerned that
the driver might be drunk. So
she used a tactic being pushed
by many states — she picked
up her cell phone and dialed
911.
“The public is starting to
understand ... the tragedies
that can occur if no one
reports that person,” said
Cash, executive director of the
Maryland and Delaware chapters
of Mothers Against Drunk
Driving. “There is no way that
law enforcement can do it
alone.”
States are using highway
message boards, road signs
and public awareness campaigns
to encourage motorists
to dial 911 on their cell phones
if they come across people
who might be driving drunk.

The messages are expected to
be used this weekend to guard
against impaired driving tied
to Super Bowl parties.
In California, law enforcement
started a campaign last
fall after noting an increase in
drunken driving deaths. The
state has relayed the message
on overhead freeway signs
and near rest stops.
Motorists can call in
anonymously and are asked to
describe the vehicle — its
license plate, make and model
and color — along with its
location. Some states also
have cell phone hot lines to
state law enforcement.
Authorities say they use the
tips but are required to make
their own assessment before
pulling someone over. They
recommend that motorists pull
over before calling, but it typically
falls under the emergency
exception in states banning
the use of handheld
phones while driving.

Governor’s Indian gambling
bet described as ‘not realistic’
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO — Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger’s bet that the state
could balance its budget next year
with revenue from bigger Indian casinos
is unrealistic, a report released
Friday by the state’s nonpartisan
Legislative Analyst said.
Schwarzenegger’s proposal to let
tribes install some 22,500 new slot
machines and then collect more than
$500 million in new fees and taxes
from them is critical to his plan to
wipe out the state’s chronic budget
deficit next year.
Legislative Analyst Elizabeth Hill,
who in recent weeks has blasted the
governor’s spending plan for relying
on rosy revenue projections, on Friday
took aim at its Indian gambling component,
saying it would likely take
three to 10 years for the state to realize
the revenue boost Schwarzenegger is
counting on in a matter of months.
“The governor’s budget assumes
that annual general fund revenues
related to tribal-state compacts grow
from $33 million in 2006-07 to $539
million in 2007-08,” Hill wrote. “This
projection is not realistic.”
What’s more, according to her
report, the compacts could leave
California on the hook for millions in
unexpected costs.
The compacts would require the
state to spend millions of the projected
revenue increase in coming years to
help poor tribes that don’t operate
casinos — money Schwarzenegger is
relying on for the budget. The compacts
also would let the richest tribes
stop paying into funds for gambling
addiction and other programs, the analyst
said. “The Legislature could face
funding shortfalls for gambling addiction,
regulatory and local government
programs,” she wrote.
H.D. Palmer, spokesman for the
governor’s finance department, downplayed
Hill’s concerns and said the
administration sticks by its projections.
people died in alcohol-related
crashes in 2005, including
pedestrians and cyclists, a
number that has shown little
decline in recent years. In
California, the toll was an
estimated 1,250.
Delaware recently placed a
dozen signs along state roads.
The program was modeled
after one in Colorado, where
motorists have been instructed
to dial CSP — contacting the
Colorado State Patrol — to
report roadway problems.
“Our feeling is ‘better safe
than sorry.’ If the person does
turn out to be impaired, you
just possibly saved someone’s
life by telling police,” said
Andrea Summers, a community
relations officer with
Delaware’s Office of
Highway Safety.
The call-in approach isn’t
perfect. Calls to 911 from a
cell phone frequently need to
be routed to the proper jurisdiction
because of different
wireless carriers and callers
who may be traveling far from
home.
In Arkansas, the state doesn’t
have a specific number for
callers to report drunken or
aggressive driving or to contact
regional divisions of the
state police, said State Police
spokesman Bill Sadler.
But he said the calls can be
routed to the proper authorities.
When it comes to road
safety, “Quite frankly, we’ll
take the information any way
we can get it,” Sadler said.
Greg Rohde, executive
director of The E9-1-1
Institute, which monitors
emergency communications
issues, said initiatives like
these need to be accompanied
by education programs.
“It can be very harmful to
the system and impede public
safety if 911 calls are ringing
off the hook with inappropriate
calls,” Rohde said.

RANCHO PALOS VER-

youthful protagonist, Chuy,
who faces death and, according
to the book’s publicity,
“finally sees that people love
him, faces the consequences
of his actions, finds in himself
compassion and bravery …
and even stumbles on what
may be true love.”
Adults enjoy the author’s

favorites are “Living up the

American Book Award from
the Before Columbus

are his reminiscences of

Officer not arrested
To the Editor:
On January 30, 2007, the Ukiah Daily
Journal mistakenly printed that David
Gerstenkorn, age 48, of Ukiah had been
arrested for DUI and booked into the
Mendocino County Jail. This was not correct.
In fact it was an error caused by a
reporter transposing the arresting officer’s
name, David Gerstenkorn, with the
arrestee’s name. The misprint has been the
source of great embarrassment and angst to
the officer, his family, and the CHP. I wish
to set the record straight at this time by
saying loudly and clearly that CHP Officer
David Gerstenkorn of the Ukiah CHP Area
was not arrested. In fact he is one of the
finest officers in this area. He is also a man
of strong Christian faith, and a great husband
and father. He is involved in a number
of community activities through his
church and his children’s school. In 2005
he was selected as the Ukiah CHP Area’s
Officer of the Year for his aggressive
efforts in removing drinking drivers from
the road.
In fairness to the Journal, they immediately
printed a retraction the next day to
correct the error and in most cases that
would have been sufficient. Additionally,
when I contacted the editor she was very
understanding and responsive to my
request that this letter be printed in the
hopes of further clarifying the incident. In
the past, the Journal has also been very
supportive of various traffic safety programs
implemented by the CHP and has
assisted us in disseminating important traffic
safety information by publishing articles
and news releases. But this is not a
normal case. Officer Gerstenkorn and his
family have been placed in the embarrassing
position of having to respond to
inquiries by friends and acquaintances.
Furthermore, because of his chosen profession,
the consequences of such a misprint
are greatly magnified.
In closing, I would like to once again
state unequivocally that Officer David
Gerstenkorn was not arrested for DUI. I
can say with confidence that he would
never be caught on the wrong side of the
law, which he so faithfully endeavors to
uphold, nor would he violate the public’s
trust which he has sworn to protect.

More on officer error
To the Editor:
I’m writing to you regarding the misrepresentation
of my husband, David
Gerstenkorn, on Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2007 in
the Ukiah Daily Journal.
My children and I would like the readers
to know that my husband was not arrested
for a DUI. David was the arresting officer.
There is a huge difference between the two.
David has been a California Highway
Patrol Officer for 10 years and has served in
the Ukiah office for almost five. One of the
reasons David chooses to work the graveyard
shift is because he is so serious about
getting drunk drivers off our highways for
the safety of our community.
One of the reasons we believe this misrepresentation
is so damaging is that David
often speaks to youth about the very subject
he was mistakenly accused of. He is
involved in coaching two basketball teams
for the city league and is in leadership in
Boys Brigade in our church. How credible
will he be to the parents who count on him
to teach and mentor their boys?
This week we have been approached by
parents in our son’s school, wondering if the
arrest was true. Our family has also received
many phone calls.
David, myself and our sons have had to
explain to people that this has all been a terrible
mistake. Unfortunately, we can only
tell the truth to those who come to us. What
about those people who are too embarrassed

ON EDITORIALS
Daily Journal editorials are written by
Editor K.C. Meadows with the concurrence

In our opinion
What’s wrong with open space?
We think the Mendocino County Board of
Supervisors was not wise to reject the idea
of a 160-acre open space preserve near
Hopland under the Williamson Act.
Currently, the county has hundreds of thousands
of acres in agricultural preserve under
the Act. While they provide tax breaks for
the property owners, and therefore cost the
county money, these preserves are seen as an
important method of keeping our county
agriculture vital. These ag preserves are also
touted as a good way to keep our county
green spaces intact.
Although open space is a different kind of
preserve - one dedicated to fish and wildlife
habitat rather than agriculture - the acreage a
Hopland area couple wanted to put into open
space preserve could have set what we think
is a good precedent for landowners willing
to make their properties environmentally
productive.
to ask for the truth, and why would they
question the paper? The paper is expected to
print the truth. Most people don’t read the
corrections, especially if they are written in
very small print.
This mistake was not just a misspelled
name or a wrong date that would warrant
your normal correction.
Mistakes and errors do happen, but not
taking full responsibility in getting the truth
to the Journal’s readers would make an
already grave situation even worse.
This has had a damaging affect on our
family and friends. It damages David’s credibility
with the community, the very people
he has sworn an oath to protect.
I am asking the Journal to restore my husband’s
reputation by printing the correction
in a place of prominence. This would speak
volumes to our family, the Journal’s readers
and to the men and women of the California
Highway Patrol.
One quote says, “A man’s reputation
may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered
action.”
David has strived very hard to exemplify
a good life, something Highway Patrol officers
must have, to credibly serve their community.
My boys and I are asking the
Journal not to sacrifice this Highway Patrol
officer’s reputation.

WHERE TO WRITE
As was pointed out, the Williamson Act
has been in existence for decades, and this is
the first time in this county a property owner
has asked to utilize its Type III preserve section
for open space. Hardly a land rush off
the county’s tax rolls - which by the way,
would see a loss of only about $4,500 a year
in exchange for this designation.
If the future of the county is tourism - and
the supervisors have made that a centerpiece
of their economic plan - then they should be
encouraging more open spaces that preserve
our fish and game values. While this property
may be off the beaten path, the habitat it
provides is linked to a much larger area.
We think the property owners had good
reason to offer up their property to habitat
preservation - even if some of their motivation
is to save money - and the county
should have taken them up on it.

K.C. MEADOWS
On public service
and private classes
Last Sunday we ran an editorial taking County
Clerk Marsha Wharff ‘s office to task for, among other
things, withholding the information about DA candidates
until 5 p.m. Thursday Jan 25.
Wharff emailed me after that came out that we were
wrong and that the election code mandates that she
must keep that information private until the filing period
is over.
Before we ran that editorial we asked our attorney
whether the information was public Thursday afternoon
and we were told it was.
Given her greater experience with the election code
- although she was wrong about the special election
requiring these filings being unnecessary in the first
place - we will assume she was right and that she did
not have to give us the information we asked for until
5 p.m. Thursday Jan. 25.
However, as we also pointed out in that editorial,
her office’s actions at that point are still wrong in our
opinion. Knowing that there is an active request for the
information that will be public at 5 p.m., her answer
was, “Sorry, my office is now closed. Come back
tomorrow.”
Like Dorothy seeking the Wizard at the gates of Oz,
we were turned away for no reason we could fathom.
Would it have been such a problem for someone in
her office to make copies of the information we
requested, have it ready for 5 p.m. and then give it (or
we should say sell it since Marsha does little that
comes without a cash transaction ) to us at 5 p.m.?
Rather than play gotcha with us in a bureaucratic
Catch 22, why not simply say, “Well it’s not available
until 5 p.m., but if you wait here we will hand it to you
at that moment.”
Instead we were told, “Yes, it’ll be public at 5 p.m.
but we’ll be closed.”
That is not public service and that’s primarily what
we’re troubled by.
There was an interesting article in the New York
Times Thursday about a New Jersey high school controversy
in which a student taped a teacher telling the
class that evolution was bunk and “that dinosaurs were
aboard Noah’s Ark and that only Christians had a place
in heaven.”
The result was that the school board voted to prohibit
students from taping and videotaping teachers
without the teacher’s permission.
The school district also decided that all teachers will
get some new training on the separation of church and
state.
The teacher is still teaching there. He was reprimanded
in some way but the school district isn’t saying
what action it took.
To be fair, part of the ban on taping also came about
because not only the teacher, but some of the students
in the class complained that they were being heard on
the Internet, where the student involved began his
campaign to make the teacher’s statements public.
The student says he only began taping after several
such comments by the teacher because he didn’t think
anyone would believe him.
He says the same teacher recently told the class that
“scientists who spoke about the danger of global
warming were using tactics like those Hitler used, by
repeating a lie often enough that people come to
believe it.”
(Well, that’s not so surprising I guess. I was at a
meeting in Sacramento Wednesday at which our state
Legislature’s highest ranking Republican, Dick
Ackerman, basically said the same thing although he
was not stupid enough to bring Hitler into it.)
Anyway, the New Jersey case is interesting as it
brings up all kinds of questions about privacy in the
classroom. Is a classroom a private place? Do teachers
and students have an expectation that, like Las Vegas,
what goes on in that classroom, stays in that classroom?
I can certainly sympathize with the student’s fear
that he would be ignored if he complained without any
proof. On the other hand, I can’t believe other students
in that classroom didn’t think that religious instruction
at a public school was unusual and unlawful and
wouldn’t join in his outcry. I can imagine if a teacher
at Ukiah High were saying such things ... the phones in
our newsroom would be lighting up like the Fourth of
July.
But back to privacy. I am interested to know how
teachers and students out there feel. Would knowing -
or wondering if - a student was taping you make you
uncomfortable? Do teachers have the right to tape their
students without their knowing - or even to simply say,
“I’m taping this class today” without allowing anyone
to object? Do students care if what is said in class ends
up on someone’s Web site?

SUNDAY VOICES ON THE STREETS
Our founding war profiteers
In the spring of 1776 French playwright
Pierre de Beaumarchais was a fan
of the spirit of the American revolution -
- and was also a clever secret agent of the
French Crown. While spying in England,
Beaumarchais met an American named
Arthur Lee, who at the time was
Benjamin Franklin’s commercial representative
in England. After discussing
America’s situation with Lee,
Beaumarchais reported to French King
Louis XVI’s foreign minister that it
would be in France’s interest to give the
United States upwards of five million
livre (perhaps half a billion dollars today)
because France had just lost the Seven
Years War to England and wanted to
make Britain pay through the nose to
hang on to the United States. Besides,
Beaumarchais more or less agreed with
the enlightened republican cause the
United States represented -- and he saw a
way to make a nice nickel on the deal.
The French also hoped that if the colonies
could succeed in their fight for independence,
France might end up with some of
their former Northern American possessions,
especially Canada.
So France secretly offered to provide
the colonies with money and war material.
In fact, the idea of helping the
Americans against the British so excited
the French that the French Crown gave
Beaumarchais one million livre earmarked
for colonial support before any
US reps even arrived in France.
Of course America was interested in
any support they could get. So Congress
secretly commissioned Arthur Lee, a man
named Silas Deane, and Benjamin
Franklin to make the more arrangements.
Lee didn’t offer to pay for the French
support. Instead, he promised most favorable
trade status to France after the war
and a promise not to contest France’s new
world possessions.
Silas Deane was a Yale educated
lawyer and merchant who worked as a
commercial agent for America’s second
richest man, Robert Morris -- “the
financier of the revolution” -- who while
being one of George Washington’s best
friends, famously used his position in the
Continental Congress to steer war contracts
to companies he secretly owned.
France insisted that the support deal
had to be kept secret -- France didn’t
want to provoke England into another
war.
The war was proceeding badly in 1776
and 1777. America was in increasingly
desperate need of the material and cash
France was offering. The patriots were
ill-equipped, and especially short of gunpowder
to conduct their insurgency.
Beaumarchais proceeded to set up a
secret front company, Rodriguez
Hortalez, to quietly transfer the French

For instance, you are called

Lots of ways to go wrong
here. And, after all, we do have
laws prohibiting people from

After reading the recent letter submitted by
local architect Bob Axt expressing concern
about the Downtown/Perkins Street Form
Based Code project, I felt compelled to
respond. I agree with Bob that the focus group
workshops were well-organized and well-run,
and I’ve received a lot of positive feedback
from those who attended. The consultants, who
have conducted these community based exercises
all over the country, were very impressed
with Ukiah and pleased with the positive energy
and interest in the project. It was, in part, as
Bob pointed out, a visioning exercise. Property
owners, business owners, architects, developers,
and others were asked to visualize the
downtown in 20 years and talk about what they
would like the future downtown area to look
like. Most everyone was positive about the
future and a lot of commonality was revealed
from the various interest groups.
Mr. Axt doesn’t think that the form based
approach to zoning will work because he
believes it won’t help stimulate the economy
and initiate investments in the downtown. I
disagree. The primary benefit of the approach
is to provide more certainty to the developers
and to the community. This may be achieved
by reducing the permitting and review require-

money and material to the United States.
Rodriguez Hortalez was funded by
both France and Spain (Louis XVI’s
uncle was then King of Spain.) as well as
a few wealthy private French financiers.
The supplies were critical to the
Revolutionary war effort.
Lots of Americans got rich during the
Revolutionary War, many of them members
of Congress, but Silas Deane had
visions of grandeur that few others could
imagine.
When the French chose Beaumarchais
to arrange their support, he was to get 10
percent of the value of all goods, gold
and silver he shipped to the US.
On the other end of the deal, Congress
told Silas Deane that he’d get 5 percent of
any aide he could get -- plus his expenses.
Soon, the first three French ships full
of gold and silver worth about one million
livre each set sail for the United
States. Unfortunately, British spies had
penetrated Rodriguez Hortalez activities
and intercepted and abducted two of the
three ships. Only $1 million livre made it
to the colonies.
Louis the XVIth, Arthur Lee and many
leading Americans considered the support
to be a gift. Arthur Lee specifically
told Silas Deane it was a gift. But
Beaumarchais, realizing that 10 percent
of a gift was $0, told Deane it was a loan.
Deane, of course, agreed with
Beaumarchais for his 5 percent.
Over the course of the Revolutionary
War, historians estimate that
Beaumarchais delivered somewhere
between 12 and 40 large shiploads of
material to the fledgling United States.
(The record keeping wasn’t that good.)
In late 1777, Beaumarchais sent a bill
to the US for $4.5 million livre which
was pre-signed by Silas Deane certifying
to the bill’s accuracy.
It soon became clear to Congress that
financial shenanigans were afoot. Arthur
Lee started to think that Beaumarchais
and Deane were playing some money
games. Gunpowder invoices were five
times the price paid in France. Muskets
from French armories which were
obtained at no cost were being sold at
half their commercial price with a mysterious
note saying they were “not gifts.”
Deane was recalled from France to
explain the bill, but his explanations were
slow and largely unconvincing. Deane
didn’t even bring his records with him. At
conversations. On the other
hand, didn’t a “friend” tape
Monica Lewinsky’s statements
about Bill Clinton at a luncheon
without her knowing it and
wasn’t that used by investigators?
Also, what would you expect
if a group of students at one of
our local high schools said a
teacher was teaching them
these kinds of religious theories.
Would that teacher be
allowed to continue teaching?
Would a simple session on
church and state really stop it?
And do students buy this?
Will a public high school student
be likely to simply believe
such statements or ignore them
as just more stuff he or she
doesn’t really need to learn?
Letters
ments for developers who plan and build within
the general parameters of what the community
decides it wants. These parameters may
include a mix of building heights, more residential
and mixed uses in the downtown, buildings
closer to the streets, strong pedestrian
design, and other features. We’ll see.
the time Tom Paine was Foreign Affairs
Committee Secretary and was intimately
aware of most of the details.Lee and
Paine became convinced that Deane was
a fraud and a war profiteer and began to
make accusations to members of
Congress, also some of America’s richest
men.
The incident went public when Silas
Deane complained about Congress’s
refusal to pay in the Philadelphia press.
Paine was furious because he knew what
Deane was trying to enrich himself. Out
of principle, Paine responded to Deane’s
complaints, including information that
(indirectly) revealed the dealings with
France which Congress and France had
hoped would remain secret.
Paine’s attempts to justify his revelations
-- which he considered part of his
patriotic duty against those in Congress
including Deane who sought only to
aggrandize themselves -- were all in vain.
The Continental Congress made no mention
of them in its records.
Paine was increasingly frustrated and
annoyed.
A small majority of Congress wasn’t
bothered by the Deane’s and Morris’s
corruption (many of whom engaged in
similar practices themselves), but they
were particularly annoyed that Paine had
revealed the secret arrangements with the
French. Paine was dismissed from his
post as Secretary to the Committee for
Foreign Affairs for this supposed indiscretion.
In the end, of course, an interim compromise
was reached and America paid
part of the bill. Congress took no action
on the allegations against Deane.
The affair was dropped form the public
press and Deane went to Europe,
never to return, dying in poverty.
Paine, back in private life, continued
to attack Robert and Geuvenor (his
name) Morris who were continuing profit
to from the Revolutionary War.
Inflation was rampant, but the war profiteers
were seemingly immune, further
outraging Paine.
The unpaid French debt demanded by
Beaumarchais and Deane floated around
in the back rooms of Congress for several
decades, and in 1839 Congress voted
to give the heirs of Silas Deane $39,000.
It wasn’t until the 1990s that historians
would uncover documents in British
archives which showed that Deane was
had been English loyalist all along -- a
war profiteer AND a traitor. Paine was
finally vindicated, but the war profiteers
had long since taken the money and run.
Unfortunately, we don’t have anyone
around today of Tom Paine’s stature to
get in the way of the modern day war
profiteers who make Silas Deane look
like a piker.

Why a form based code can work in Ukiah

In this day of increasing outside
investment interest in our community,
developers just want to know what the
rules to the game are. If the rules are
clear and truly reflect what the
community decides it wants, and the
review process is easier and more
predictable, improvements will begin
to occur more rapidly.
In this day of increasing outside investment
interest in our community, developers just
want to know what the rules to the game are. If
the rules are clear and truly reflect what the
community decides it wants, and the review
process is easier and more predictable,
improvements will begin to occur more rapidly,
and the community’s vision of the downtown
and Perkins Street corridor will come to
life. This approach has worked successfully in
other areas, and has been viewed by many
local community members as a positive
change.
Mr. Axt mentions that the workshop did not
include any discussion or recommendations for
zoning policy revisions and just “reveled” in a
vision creating a “Disneyland Main Street.”
First of all, I don’t recall that any of the participants
indicated that they wanted Ukiah to turn
into a “Disneyland Main Street.” On the contrary,
I heard just the opposite – that people
want the downtown to evolve into something
unique and reflective of this wonderful small
community. Second, as stated at the workshop,
to begin discussing zoning recommendations
would be premature before the community
develops its common vision for the future.
What do you think of the
proposed no-spanking law?

should spank their children
anyway. To make it a misdemeanor

“Spanking is no good. I
think I would support the
bill. Children don’t understand
the punishment.
Correcting a child and
spanking are two different
things, and abuse is not the
way.”
How can we develop new zoning standards
before we know what we want for the downtown?
Ironically, Mr. Axt has expressed concern
in the past about getting the cart ahead of
the horse.
City staff is energized by the strong positive
feedback we’ve received about the Downtown
Form Based Code project. We hope that those
with concerns will explore the concept and
become educated about it before reaching conclusions.
Let’s be positive, climb out of the old
box, find a way to stimulate the local economy,
and watch the downtown evolve into the special
and unique place we decide we want.
One more thing, the money spent on the
crosswalks at the Perkins and State Street intersection
was grant money that was used to buy
the equipment for use in many “pedestrian versus
traffic” areas of the City and not just on this
one project. You’d be surprised how many people
I know that think the crosswalks look great
and really improve pedestrian safety. Just as in
architecture, Mr. Axt, beauty is in the eye of the
beholder.

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL | UCLA 82, OREGON ST. 35
Bruins beat up on Beavers by 47
By BETH HARRIS
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES — UCLA coach Ben
Howland likes to remind everyone there’s
no easy games in the Pac-10. For one day
anyway, his team made a mockery of that
thought.
Arron Afflalo scored 16 points, Luc
Richard Mbah a Moute added 14 and the
fifth-ranked Bruins led all the way in
beating Oregon State 82-35 on Saturday
for their 17th consecutive home victory.
“We want to come out and play as hard
as we can every night, no matter who the
opponent is,” Howland said. “It shows a
maturing level on our team.”

The Mendocino College baseball team
had a doubleheader against San Francisco
City College Saturday afternoon at Carl J.
Ehmann Field. It was a nice, bright sunshining
day and the Eagles had a nice,
bright ending, winning the final game 7-
1.
“ We put it together the second game,”
said Mendocino College head coach Matt
Gordon. “We got some good plays out of
a lot of our guys today.”
In the first game of the doubleheader
the Eagles lost a close game to the visiting
Rams by a score of 4-1.
the crosstown rivals.
UCLA built a season-high 30-point
lead in the first half, when it shot 70 percent
from the floor, and held the Beavers
to a season-low 18 points. The Bruins are
13-0 at Pauley Pavilion this season after
winning their final four home games last
season.
“We wanted to come out with the same
intensity as we did against Oregon,” said
Darren Collison, referring to his team’s
two strong halves in a 69-57 victory
Thursday. “If we want to get where we
want to go, we got to have games like we
did today.”
Oregon State (9-15, 1-10) lost its sixth
in a row and got swept by the Bruins for
the second year in a row. Marcel Jones
was the only player in double figures
with 16.
The Eagles allowed the Rams to tally
three runs in the first inning and that was
eventually to big of a hole to climb out of.
“We got really good pitching in both
games,” Gordon said. “We just have to
work on getting both sides playing well at
the same time.”
Mendocino played great defense turning
multiple double plays in both games
and had solid outfield play from Jason
Chapman, terrific infield play from
Dwight Raudio and great pitching from
Tyler Scaturro and Christopher Mills.
On the offensive side, Tucker Mesker
drove in Chapman for the Eagles only run
in the 4th inning.
“We were exposed in every possible
way,” Beavers coach Jay John said. “We
all go through this outcome every once in
a while. It is a risk you take when you
come into Pauley.”
The Beavers scored a season-worst 35
points — six fewer than their previous
low against Hawaii on Nov. 19. They shot
31 percent from the floor, had 21
turnovers, got outrebounded 37-29 and
had nine assists to 24 for UCLA.
“I love all the unselfishness,” Howland
said. “That’s fun to see.”
Oregon State was out of contention
from the opening tip, when the Bruins
opened with a 20-5 burst and kept on
going.
“In early December, we watched a
In the bottom of the seventh inning,
the Eagles were able to load the bases off
hits from Nate Maxwell, Raudio, and
Devin Jackson who was hit by a pitch.
With the bases juiced, Travis Mather was
unable to drive any of the Eagles.
The Rams would score one more run
in the top of the ninth inning and hold on
to win the first game 4-1.
“We are not as consistent as we would
like to be,” Gordon said. “But it looks
like we are heading in the right direction.”

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL | USC 71, OREGON 68
Ducks on 3-game skid with loss to Trojans
By ANDREW DALTON
Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES — Ninth-ranked
Oregon set out on a four-game trip 10
days ago as one of the best road teams in
the nation.
After three losses, the Ducks can’t
wait to get back to Eugene.
Taj Gibson scored 18 points and
Southern California held off a late rally
for a 71-68 victory Saturday to give the
Trojans a season sweep of Oregon for the
first time in six years.
Coming off a 69-57 defeat to No. 5
UCLA on Thursday, Oregon lost two in a
row for the first time this season and has
dropped three of its last four.
“We need to get our butts moving, get
our energy and spirits back,” Oregon
coach Ernie Kent said.
The Ducks were 5-0 on the road at the
start of the trip.
Gibson went 7-for-9 from the field and
hit a free throw with 16.9 seconds to play
to give USC its final margin of victory.
“To their credit, they hung in there and
made the plays down the stretch,” Kent
said.
Aaron Brooks led Oregon (19-4, 7-4)
with 16 points and nine rebounds, but the
Pac-10’s leading scorer missed a chance
to tie the game when his 3-pointer was off
the mark at the buzzer.
Nick Young scored 13 and Gabriel
Pruitt had 12 points for USC (18-6, 8-3
Pac-10), which beat a ranked team for the
fifth time this season.
“We’ve been in so many close games.
They understand close games and know
how to win,” USC coach Tim Floyd said.
“We’re showing great poise when we
need poise, and we’re showing attack
when we need to attack.”
Last month, the Trojans beat Oregon
84-82 to hand the Ducks their first loss of
the season and only defeat at home.
The victory gives a big boost to the
Trojans’ NCAA tournament chances and
could put them back in the Top 25. The
Trojans were ranked No. 25 two weeks
ago, but promptly fell out of the rankings
after losing to Stanford by 15 points.
After opening the season with most of
its games at the new Galen Center arena,
USC plays five of its last seven away
from home, starting with a game at No. 5
UCLA on Wednesday for first-place in
the Pac-10, followed by a trip to No. 20
Arizona on Feb. 15.
“I’m not sure if there’s a tougher threegame
stretch in the country — playing
Oregon, UCLA and Arizona like we do,”

Floyd said.
Tajuan Porter scored 15 and Malik
Hairston added 14 for Oregon, which outrebounded
USC, 41-20, but was outshot
60 percent to 33.3 percent.
The Trojans led for all but 2 minutes of
the first half and were up by 11 at the
break, but Oregon opened the second half
with a 28-15 run to take the lead.
Chamberlain Oguchi made a 3 with
11:01 to play to tie it at 54, and Hairston
made two free throws to give the Ducks a
56-54 lead, their first since the game’s
second minute.
A layup and a dunk from Gibson
quickly put USC back in front, 60-58,
with 8 minutes to go.
Gibson blocked a shot and Daniel
Hackett followed with a layup to put the
Trojans up 65-60 with 3:46 to go and
bring the crowd to its feet.
Gibson, a freshman, leads the Pac-10
in field-goal percentage at 60.6 percent
and may be the most popular player at the
Galen Center. Signs in the stands called
the arena the “Taj Mahal.”
“Taj is a great player at the block and
he creates for us on the outside,” Pruitt
said. “We look to get him the ball first.”

Da’ Bears playing
NFL & THE SUPER BOWL
‘no respect’ card By TIM DAHLBERG
By DAVE GOLDBERG
AP Football Writer
MIAMI — Forget the perception
that the Chicago
Bears are mere patsies for
Peyton Manning.
They have a decent chance
at winning Sunday’s Super
Bowl against the Colts.
Really.
Maybe these guys aren’t
quite the Monsters of the
Midway — under today’s
rules, Brian Urlacher might
get flagged just for breathing
on Manning. But their defense
can still be pretty scary.
“The Bears have a way of
turning first and 10 into second
and 15 into third and 20,”
Tony Dungy said this week.
Yes, the Colts are sevenpoint
favorites despite the
Bears’ 13-3 regular-season
record, second best in the
NFL to San Diego’s 14-2.
There’s a simple reason: It’s
not the Bears who are the
underdogs, it’s the NFC,
which was as bad this season
as the AFC was good. Its final
four of Indy, New England,
San Diego and Baltimore likely
would be favored over any
of the NFC semifinalists.
Still, Chicago can win this
game if three things happen:
— Indianapolis reverts to
at least a semblance of its
shabby regular-season run
defense, an NFL-worst 173
yards a game. That figure has
been reduced by a full 100
yards in the playoffs to 73.3.
— Chicago quarterback
Rex Grossman plays as he did
in better efforts. “I had 12
games where I played well,
six where I played not so
well,” he said. “Not so well”
is an understatement — in one
of those games he had a zero
passer rating, in another a 1.3.
— The Bears continue to
get turnovers. They had 34
takeaways during the regular
season and five more in the
playoffs, although they were
only plus-6 for the year
because of Grossman’s
propensity for interceptions
and fumbles.
If the Bears control the
clock with Thomas Jones and
Cedric Benson running the
ball, it keeps Manning off the
field and allows Grossman
more opportunities. In other
words, he gets more time to
throw and Dwight Freeney
and the rest of Indy’s quick
defenders get less time to
pressure him into making mistakes.
Manning isn’t immune to
turnovers. He’s thrown six
interceptions in three playoff
games, including one returned
for a touchdown by New
England’s Asante Samuel in
the AFC championship game.
That’s five more than
Grossman, Mr. Turnover, who
has one in the playoffs.
But Manning is too savvy
to force anything; savvy
enough to know that punting
is a better alternative to
throwing into coverage, especially
with the way Urlacher
can drop into the deep middle
like the safety he was in college.
Most important, Manning
finally demonstrated he can
produce under pressure with
his 80-yard drive in the final
minutes against the playofftested
New England defense.
Beyond that, these Colts
are following a path similar to
one taken by a team Manning
wants to emulate: the 1997
Denver Broncos.
Those Broncos were eliminated
in their first game in
1996 after clinching home
field with a month to go. And
like this year’s Colts, who lost
four of its last seven games,
those Broncos struggled a bit,
making the postseason as a
wild-card team before sweeping
through the playoffs and
beating Green Bay 31-24 in
the Super Bowl.
Last winter, Manning made
a point of talking to the two
leaders of that team: John
Elway and coach Mike
Shanahan. Last summer, he
suggested that it might not be
a bad thing if the Colts had a
lower profile for the 2006 season
than they had in 2005,
when they won their first 13
games.
“You’ve got a team that’s a
little ticked off,” Manning
said, referring to last year’s
playoff failure. “There are
guys who will play that way. I
think you need that to rebound
from last season.”
There’s one more thing the
Colts need to do to emulate
those Broncos.
No, Manning is unlikely to
do a spinorama for a first
down, as Elway did in the signature
play of that game.
But his gestures and waves
at the line of scrimmage, often
a ruse, may not be this time —
he’ll point at the holes in the
Chicago defense at safety and
defensive tackle, vacated by
the injured Mike Brown and
Tommie Harris.
That’s enough to make the
final score:
COLTS, 31-23.
More Super Bowl
memories await
AP Sports Writer
MIAMI — Archie
Manning stood nervously in
the tunnel leading to the field
in Indianapolis during the
final minutes of a comeback
that would put his middle son
in the Super Bowl for the first
time.
He didn’t want the television
cameras to see him, didn’t
want to intrude on the
spotlight.
He could barely bring himself
to watch.
The head of football’s most
famous quarterback family
had endured countless losing
seasons as a player himself.
Now he was just a proud
father, peeking around the
corner and praying that his
son would succeed where he
never had the chance.
Eli Manning, his youngest,
paced next to him as the final
seconds ticked off the clock
and the RCA Dome erupted in
jubilation.
The Colts were going to the
Super Bowl. A Manning finally
had won a big one.
In the bedlam, Peyton
Manning looked for his dad
and his brother. The quarterback
father and his quarterback
sons embraced in a hug
born of jubilation and relief.
“Maybe,” Archie Manning
said, “there was a little fate
there.”
If any family deserved
some good karma on the football
field, it might be the
Mannings.
And, if any father deserved
a good moment from the NFL,
it surely would be Archie
Manning.
“Obviously my dad knows
how difficult it is to get
there,” Eli Manning said. “He
played 15 seasons and never
made it to the playoffs. He
knows it’s not easy.
Everything has to go the right
way.”
Nothing ever seemed to go
the right way for Archie
Manning in the NFL. In a
decade and a half, he never
played for a winning team,
never came close to sniffing
the postseason.
His team had records like
1-15 and 3-13. Winning a
handful of games in one season
was cause for celebration.
Things were so bad in New
Orleans that fans began wearing
paper bags over their head
because they were embarrassed
to be in the same stadium
with their Aints.
The Super Bowl wasn’t a
goal for this gang of misfits,
merely something to watch
while grilling burgers on a
Sunday afternoon.
The losses came early, and
they came often. By the time
Manning finished 15 years in
the NFL in 1984, he had
walked off the field with the
losing team 139 times.
He did it with his head held
high.
“I don’t look back on it like
that, but people do it for me,”
he said. “Why do that? When
I was a kid all I wanted to do
was play. I wanted to be a ball
player. And I got to do it for
14 years, through the good,
the bad and the injuries.”
Still, Manning wanted better
for his quarterback kids.
They have had their own
struggles, despite playing on
teams loaded with the kind of
talent that only came to New
Orleans for an occasional
Super Bowl in Archie
Manning’s day.
Peyton Manning labored
for years with the label
“Never Able to Win the Big
One” seemingly plastered
directly over the No. 18 on his
uniform. He has his father’s
arm and talent, but in eight
years as quarterback of the
Colts the Super Bowl was
always tantalizingly just out
of reach.
Eli Manning came into the
league with great fanfare, but
the results after three years so
far have been mixed.
New Yorkers grumble
about his inconsistency as
quarterback of the Giants and
he often seems flustered on
the field.
Could there be such a thing
as a Manning curse?
“Nobody has ever asked
me that,” Archie Manning
said. “I’d say absolutely not. I
was one of those kids who just
wanted to play and I did it for
15 years. I wouldn’t look at
anything Peyton did in his
career, whether high school,
college, or pro, as any kind of
curse. And Eli, well, it’s just
his second year as the starter.”
Peyton Manning seemed
similarly surprised.
“I didn’t know there was
one until this question,” he
said. “I have always believed
that I would have a chance to
play in this game, and hopefully
more than one.
Obviously, I thought that it
would have happened sooner,
but we had some chances in
earlier years.”
Irvin in, Tagliabue out for Hall of Fame
By BARRY WILNER
AP Football Writer
MIAMI — Michael Irvin
wrapped his arms around
Thurman Thomas in the kind
of hug that new Hall of
Famers share. Somewhere,
Paul Tagliabue could only
envy their emotional display.
“That embrace Thurman
and I had, we talked earlier,
we were falling apart on the
phone,” Irvin said. “We don’t
sound like cool people that
played a tough game right
now.”
The former Dallas
Cowboys receiver with the
off-field woes and three Super
Bowl rings, was among six
former players voted into the
Canton shrine Saturday. But
the commissioner who guided
the NFL for 18 years before
retiring last summer didn’t
even make the first cut.
Irvin and Thomas were
joined by Bruce Matthews,
Roger Wehrli, Charlie Sanders
and Gene Hickerson.
“This was worth the wait,”
Irvin said. “I know my alphabet.
When I heard ’H’ I was
like, ’OK, I (is) next.’ So,
whew! I was so afraid we
were going to skip over the
I’s.”
Not this year, his third try.
Irvin didn’t mention his
troubled past — pleading no
contest in 1996 to felony
cocaine possession; getting
arrested in 2000 on drug possession
charges that were later
dropped — but former teammate
Troy Aikman did.
“I think that maybe some of
that is why he hasn’t gotten in
until now,” said Aikman, who
was inducted last year. “And I
know that’s not part of the criteria,
and I think all of the voters
would tell you that’s not
part of the criteria. But we are
all human and I think you
maybe take what you think of
a person as an individual and
have that cloud what you
think of his athletic abilities.
That happens.”
Although his legacy was
strong, Tagliabue didn’t get
past the first round of voting
by the panel of 40 media
members. The former NFL
chief oversaw labor peace
throughout his tenure; helped
enhance diversity in coaching
and front-office hirings; negotiated
television deals that
bring in more than $25 billion;
led expansion from 28 to 32
teams; established the NFL
Network; and guided a rising
global presence.
Even Irvin said he “didn’t
understand” why Tagliabue
wasn’t voted in.
Also failing to get enough
votes were Art Monk, Derrick
Thomas, Andre Reed, Richard
Dent, Bob Kuechenberg, Fred
Dean, Ray Guy, Russ Grimm,
Andre Tippett and Gary
Zimmerman.
Inductions will be Aug. 4-5
in Canton, Ohio. The Steelers
and Saints will play in the
annual Hall of Fame game.
Irvin finished his career
with 750 receptions for 11,904
yards and 65 touchdowns. He
was selected to five straight
Pro Bowls and picked for the
NFL’s all-decade team of the
1990s.
“I played with a lot of great
guys and played under some
great guys,” he said, specifically
mentioning the Triplets
— himself, Emmitt Smith and
Aikman. “Jimmy Johnson was
a great head football coach.
And Norv Turner, we always
got on him every week: ‘Get
me the ball.’
“He’d say, ‘Stop bothering
me. Do you think I’m stupid?
We are throwing you the ball.’
“
Thomas was the league’s
most valuable player in 1991,
when he gained more than
2,000 yards from scrimmage.
When he retired in 2,000, he
ranked sixth all-time in career
yards from scrimmage
(16,532), with 12,074 yards
rushing. Only Emmitt Smith
and Barry Sanders ran for
more yards in the 1990s.
He joins Jim Kelly, who
made the Hall of Fame in
2002, from the Buffalo teams
that won four straight AFC
titles before losing in each
Super Bowl.
“Like I’ve always said, we
didn’t win a Super Bowl, but
this is my Super Bowl gift to
the Buffalo Bills fans,”
Thomas said.
He will join his fellow
Oklahoma State running back
Barry Sanders in Canton; they
played together for one season
at OSU.
Matthews, the only player
in his first year of eligibility,
spent 19 seasons with the
Oilers/Titans franchise, playing
more games than any positional
player in NFL history
when he retired in 2001. He
did it as a guard, tackle and
center. Matthews never
missed a game because of
injury.
“I never had to grow up,
could play like I was a kid,
played till I was 40, and now
you are telling me I am in the
Hall of Fame,” he said by
phone from Texas. “I hadn’t
been nervous about it until I
saw my family and they were
ready to melt down.”
Wehrli was a five-time All-
Pro cornerback who played 14
seasons with the St. Louis
Cardinals, starting as a rookie
in 1969. He once intercepted
three passes by Roger
Staubach in a win over Dallas
and made the league’s 1970s
all-decade squad.
“Something like this puts a
cap on it. It’s a dream come
true,” Wehrli said, speaking
by phone from St. Louis.
Wehrli made it in his last year
of eligibility before going into
the seniors’ pool, from which
Sanders and Hickerson were
elected.
Sanders spent a decade
with the Lions and made
seven Pro Bowls.
“This has been a journey,”
he said. “The last few days
have been very nerve-racking,

Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA — With two
black coaches in the Super
Bowl for the first time, the
historic accomplishment presents
a welcome dilemma for
many black fans: For whom to
root?
Many are not picking sides
in Sunday’s game — they see
Indianapolis Colts Coach
Tony Dungy and Chicago
Bears Coach Lovie Smith’s
presence in the NFL’s biggest
game as a win-win situation.
“We can’t lose,” said New
York University history professor
Jeffrey Sammons, who
studies sports and race.
Black coaches led two of
the four teams that reached
the NFL’s conference title
games, so the odds were good
that one would make history
and become the first black
coach in the Super Bowl.
Many black fans without
team allegiances prepared to
root for either Dungy or Smith
over a white rival.
But with Dungy and Smith
set to oppose one another in
the NFL’s championship
game, many black fans are
deciding who to pull for on
even more trivial criteria.
In Atlanta — a city often
regarded as a bellwether for
black popular culture — the
topic has been on the minds of
many blacks for days.
Music artist Greg Xmaz
idolized former Chicago
Bears defensive lineman
William “The Refrigerator”
Perry as a child, so the 25year-old
plans to root for
Perry’s old team.
“He was a black man that
was very successful when I
was growing up as a kid. And
he was fat and I was fat. It was
something I could relate to,”
Xmaz said.
Xmaz showed off a T-shirt
that read “Soul Bowl: The
First African American Super
Bowl Coaches” with photos
of Dungy and Smith.
Andre Wiggins, an accountant,
has rooted for Dungy for
a couple of years, hoping the
black coach would finally get
his chance.

a good question:
Root for whom?

Wiggins said he had the
same feeling of pride when
Redskins quarterback Doug
Williams led his team to win
SuperBowl XXII, becoming
the first black quarterback to
do so nearly 20 years ago.
Wiggins, 38, said he likes
Dungy because he has helped
other black coaches break into
the field, including Smith,
who was an assistant to
Dungy when he coached at
Tampa Bay.
“I like to see black people
do well,” Wiggins said.
Colleague Mike Holley
said he will be looking farther
down the sidelines to see
which coach has the most
blacks on his coaching staff.
(Nine of the Colts’ 17 coaches
are black; seven of the Bears’
19 are black.)
Radio personality Ryan
Cameron brought up the topic
on Atlanta’s V-103 last week
after hearing two black
women discussing the issue in
an elevator. On the show,
Cameron said the callers —
mostly black women — were
very passionate about the subject,
whether or not they were
football fans.
“For somebody who’s not a
sports fan, they’ve got to have
a reason to root,” said
Cameron, host of the Ryan
Cameron Show. “In today’s
society, race is still an issue,
even though we try to say it’s
not as big a deal anymore.”
Reggie Green, a 30-yearold
architect, said he will
cheer for Chicago, but said
he’s just out for a good name
for blacks.
“It’s always a black thing
for me, even if it’s ice skating,”
he said.
Tyrone Buckner, a 37-yearold
accountant in Atlanta, said
the issue in this year’s Super
Bowl is one of black pride.
“We know that a black
man’s gonna win the Super
Bowl,” he said.

Eagle Jason Chapman makes a diving catch in center field at the top of the fifth
inning. Mendocino won the second game by a score of 7-1.

er, the Eagles were able to
bring both sides of the ball
together for a solid 7-1 win.
“While we weren’t able to
get things going in the first
game we were able to do both
in the second,” Gordon said.
While the Rams started off
quick in game one, the Eagles
started off relatively quickly
scoring one run in the bottom
of the second inning and four
more in the bottom of the third
to go up 5-1 early on.
Ducks

Bruce Taylor’s layup pulled

very good University of
Michigan team come in here
and not look very good,” John
said. “UCLA can do that to
anybody they play. Tonight it
was us.”
Leading by 37 midway
through the second half,
Howland cleared the floor of
his starters, giving major minutes
to benchwarmers Nikola
Dragovic, James Keefe and
Ryan Wright.
Dragovic finished as
UCLA’s top reserve with
eight points in a season-high
12 minutes.
“I was working hard and
waiting for my chance,” said
Dragovic, a Serbia native who
sheepishly admitted he was
winded by game’s end.
Freshman Mustafa Abdul-
Hamid got into his second
Pac-10 game of the season,
hitting a 3-pointer that pushed
UCLA’s lead to 45 points.
That began an exodus by fans
eager to escape outside into a
warm winter’s day.
“You got to see guys have
the opportunity to score,”
Collison said. “The players on
the bench are the ones who
get us better every day.”
Collison had 10 assists
before leaving early and giving
Russell Westbrook a
lengthy turn at running the
offense. Westbrook scored
eight of his 11 points during a
17-3 run that ended the first
half.
“Everybody was getting
involved, everybody was
unselfish, so it felt good,”
Westbrook said.
With 2 minutes left, the
student section perked up as
never seen DeAndre
Robinson, Joey Ellis and Matt
Lee came off the bench.
Robinson scored with a 1
minute to go, drawing raucous
cheers.
“It’s great to see them get
rewarded like that,” starter
Josh Shipp said.
The Bruins scored 29
points off Oregon State’s
turnovers. By game’s end,
their shooting had cooled to
58 percent.
Hardly needing to talk
strategy, the Bruins came out
of their locker room four minutes
early to start the second
half. The Beavers emerged
with 1 1/2 minutes remaining.
In the second inning, Devin
Jackson drove in an Eagle

the third, Tucker Mesker ran
home after a wild pitch
thrown to second base went
over the shortstop’s head into
center field.
On the very next play,
Eagle Jason Howe hit a sacrifice
fly into left field to bring
in a run and the Rams’ catcher
overthrew the pitcher and
brought Howe in from third
base. This gave the Eagles a
strong 4-1 lead. Mendocino

Brooks made two free

Sharks take a bite out of Blackhawks
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
SAN JOSE — Vesa
Toskala knows goalies can go
years between assists, so he
didn’t attach too much significance
to his two-point performance
for the San Jose
Sharks.
He was more pleased with
his 20 saves in San Jose’s
revitalizing 4-2 win over the
Chicago Blackhawks on
Saturday.
Marcel Goc and Curtis
Brown scored on plays initiated
by Toskala, who backstopped
San Jose to just its
second victory in six games
with the Sharks’ first multipoint
game by a goalie.
Patrick Marleau and Milan
Michalek also scored for the
Sharks, who still haven’t fixed
their once-vaunted power play
but made enough hustle plays
to win.
And though Toskala was
one point away from tying the
NHL record for points by a
goalie, he wasn’t about to take
a shot at the Blackhawks’
empty net in the final seconds.
That’s already been done in
teal by teammate Evgeni
Nabokov — and Toskala also
found the net before.
“I got my goal in Europe,”
he said with a laugh. “I don’t
have to worry about that any
more. ... (Assists) are just
leaving the puck behind the
net a couple of times. That
doesn’t happen very often.”
After earning just one point
from back-to-back home losses
to Dallas earlier in the

(Any meal with coupon)
week, San Jose got back on
track with what coach Ron
Wilson described as a “workmanlike
effort.” Just in time,
too: The Sharks have a homeand-home
series with
Anaheim starting Tuesday to
kick off a season-high eightgame
road trip.
“We’re better when we’re
an aggressive, puck-pursuit
team like that,” Wilson said.
“You have to put together a
series of games before you
can say you’ve fixed whatever
problems you have, (but) I
still don’t know how we can
go from playing great to awful
so quickly.”
Tuomo Ruutu had a goal
and an assist, and Martin
Havlat also scored for the
Blackhawks, who had won
two straight following a 10game
losing streak.
Nikolai Khabibulin
stopped 27 shots, but lost for
the 11th time in 14 appearances.
Nothing gets easier for
the struggling Blackhawks,
whose next three games are in
western Canada during a
seven-game road trip stretching
from Los Angeles to
Pittsburgh.
“That’s the best team we’ve
played by far this year,”
Chicago coach Denis Savard
said. “I know they came off a
couple of losses, but great
teams respond, and they
responded. They have size,
speed, and they’re very
aggressive. It’s the style of
play we want to play.”

despite a 1-for-38 slump that
included six fruitless attempts
against Chicago.
The Sharks scored 15
power-play goals in three
games several weeks ago, but
the unit led by MVP Joe
Thornton was been unable to
restore that luster — leaving
the Blackhawks with their
good penalty-killing as a positive
in the loss.
“They don’t need to score
on the power play to win
games,” Chicago defenseman
Brent Seabrook said. “They
have a high-powered offense.
We (killed penalties) well, but
we have to cut down on mistakes
and turnovers and not
give them so many chances.”
Toskala, who had just one
point all season, picked up an
assist on Goc’s short-handed
goal less than 2 minutes in.
Patrick Rissmiller chased
Toskala’s cleared puck behind
Chicago’s net and fed Goc,
who flipped a backhand over
Khabibulin.
Ruutu evened it 7 minutes
later with a tricky one-timer
through a minuscule hole
between Toskala and the post,
but Brown put the Sharks
back ahead with another
speedy play and another
opportune backhand after
Toskala and Scott Hannan
cleared the puck.

Healthy Kids Mendocino,
which is the collaborative
effort of FIRST 5 Mendocino,
Alliance for Rural
Community Health, the
Departments of Public Health
and Social Services and many
others, also aids families in
establishing a primary care
provider for regular care, getting
medical and dental care
and receiving needed medications
or eyewear.
FIRST 5 -- which was
formed in 2000 to distribute
tobacco-tax revenue made
available by the passage of
Prop. 10 in 1998 to benefit
children in their first five
years of life -- is also helping
parents detect social-emotional
issues.
Its other new program,
Raise & Shine, will teach parents
the skills necessary to
help their children get along
with others.
“What led us to Raise &
Shine was that local pediatricians
tell us that after a child
is 1 year old, 90 percent of the
questions they receive are
about behavior,” First 5
Executive Director Anne
Molgaard said, noting that
social changes over the last
few decades have left children
with less one-on-one time
with parents.
According to the annual
report, Mendocino County
kindergarten teachers have
noticed that “one-third of children
entering kindergarten are
not ready because they have
difficulty with impulse control
and are unable to resolve
social conflicts with their
peers even with an adult’s
help.”

the Departments of Social
Services and Mental Health,
and through pediatric offices,
Molgaard said.
“Our success in supporting
parents and children is really
due to the combination of
First 5 dollars and all of our
local partners, because
Healthy Kids would have
never launched without the
Department of Public Health,
and Raise & Shine would
have never launched without
the Department of Mental
Health and many other partners
in the community,”
Molgaard said.
In 2005-2006, FIRST 5
also maintained programs for
improving child care, school
readiness and meeting special
needs.
In 2006, FIRST 5, along
with the Mendocino County
Child Care Planning Council
and the California Department
of Education, awarded
$175,000 to 125 child care
providers through the CARES
(Comprehensive Approaches
to Raising Educational
Standards) program, which
recognizes that the quality of
child care is directly related to
the consistency, compensation
and education of the provider.
According to the annual
report, FIRST 5 spent
$1,846,863 in 2005-2006,
close to $500,000 more than
in the previous year, mostly
due to matching grants.
“Since its inception, FIRST
5 Mendocino has funded 55
innovative programs and 100
community projects for our
children through grants totaling
more than $6 million,” the
report states.
“We’re able to stretch our
money far because of the hard
work of a lot of dedicated professionals
and partners
throughout the county,”
Molgaard said. “We can’t take
all the credit for great services
provided to children in the
community.”

Bush woos
Democrats at
weekend retreat
WILLIAMSBURG, Va.
(AP) — Relying on self-deprecating
jokes, unusual candor
and outright flattery, President
Bush on Saturday wooed lawmakers
he not only needs but
will have to answer to in the
final two years of his presidency.
Bush had not seen fit to
attend a Democratic congressional
retreat since 2001, his
first year in office. But the
new political reality that has
Democrats in charge of
Capitol Hill for the first time
in a dozen years changed his
mind. When he appeared
before House Democrats at a
Virginia resort, he seemed to
be trying to make up for lost

doesn’t have to end up in death.’

motivate me to stop sharing
needles is very different than
what would motivate another
person,” Colonius said.
The answer?
Primary prevention, for
one thing.
“People need to avoid
sharing blood through
needles,” Colonius said,
noting Hepatitis C is not
thought of as a sexually
transmitted disease and is
primarily transmitted through
blood.
If people do share needles,
they should be tested for
Hepatitis C, he said, noting
the tests can be done at
MCAVN for free and people
can remain anonymous.
Lastly, people who do have
time.
With his first words, he
sought to put to rest one bone
of contention between the
White House and the new
congressional majority: The
dropped “ic.”
Democrats found it
demeaning when the president,
in his State of the Union
address last month, referred to
the “Democrat majority,” as
opposed to the “Democratic
majority.”
“Now look, my diction
isn’t all that good,” Bush told
the 200 lawmakers who
wrapped up two days away
from Washington with family
and aides. “I have been
accused of occasionally mangling
the English language.
And so I appreciate you inviting
the head of the Republic
Party.”

Wilshire, U.K. Gary Kozel of
the Seabiscuit Heritage
Foundation said the two are
collectors of Seabiscuit memorabilia.
There are tentative plans to
have the statue visit the sites
of Seabiscuit’s great triumphs
as it makes its way north from
Utah to Willits. Stops would
include: Del Mar, Santa Anita
Park, Hollywood Park, Bay
Meadows, Golden Gate
Fields, Tanforan and the
Santa Rosa County
Fairgrounds.
The statue may also stop at
the site of Charles Howard’s
old Buick dealership, which is
no longer there, and the
Hearst building in San
Francisco, in memory of the
Hearst paper’s coverage of
Seabiscuit and because the
building now houses the
California Historical Society.
“It would be a dual tip-ofthe-hat,”
Kozel said.
The statue is scheduled to
be unveiled June 30 at an
invitation-only ceremony.
After that, the general public
will be able to see the statue
by appointment; reservations
can be made in advance by
calling 459-7910.
The Ridgewood Ranch is a

COMMUNITY BRIEFS
Grief Recovery Support Group by
Hospice set to start this Monday
Hospice of Ukiah will be offering a new Grief Recovery
Support Group starting this Monday, and running for 8 weeks
through March 26. Open to the public without charge, this 2 -
hour weekly meeting will convene from 7 to 9 p.m. at the
Hospice of Ukiah office at 650 S. Dora St., Suite 101.
The series is open to any adult who is grieving a death. This
is an opportunity to express feelings of loss in a safe atmosphere
and to learn information and techniques for moving through the
bereavement process. The group is educational as well as supportive.
Each week focuses on different aspects of the grieving
process, and includes helpful written handouts to take home as
well as suggested exercises to work on during the week.
What’s “normal” when you are grieving? How do people
handle feeling depressed, stuck, angry, guilty, and stress? How
can memories be healing and not just painful reminders? What’s
the best way to approach upcoming holidays and anniversaries?
Simply committing to coming to the Grief Group once a week
and being with others going through a similar experience can be
an important component of moving forward into one’s new life
without the person who has died.
There is no charge for participation in the group. Hospice of
Ukiah, Inc., is a volunteer hospice supported by donations
which are always welcome. For more information and to register,
call 391-8013.

resulting in learning, growth, shared understanding and inspiration.
Humane Society offers two
for one kitten deal
The Humane Society for Inland Mendocino County has a
number of older “teenage” kittens, which have formed attachments

These kittens, some siblings and some just friends, were born
in the spring of 2006 and are fast approaching adulthood. They
are being offered for adoption at the reduced price of $75 for
two.
Having lived most of their short lives together, they have
come to depend on each other for companionship, comfort and
play. They are still kittens, curious and playful and in great need
of loving homes together.
There are no fewer than five such pairs available for adoption
at the shelter, 9700 Uva Drive in Redwood Valley. Shelter hours
are from 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, and from 11

Ukiah Valley co-housing hosting a tour
of two communities set for Feb. 10
Ukiah Valley Co-housing is planning a co-housing community
in the Ukiah area. Like most co-housing communities, their
planned community will have many “green” features, have a
diverse group of single people and families, have playgrounds
and gardens, and have a large community house for some
shared meals and social activities. On Saturday, Feb. 10, the
group is leading a tour of two existing co-housing communities
in Sonoma County- Yulupa Co-housing in Santa Rosa and
Cotati Co-housing in Cotati. They will also tour a housing
development built by the co-housing development company
they are working with.
The tour begins in Ukiah at 9:50 a.m. People will meet at the
west side of the Long’s parking lot, close to Orchard Ave. in
Ukiah, and form carpools for the drive south. The first stop will
be at Yulupa Co-housing, with a tour of the community followed
by a picnic lunch on their patio or in their community
house dining room, depending on the weather. Participants are
requested to bring a bag lunch. Cars will return to Ukiah by 5
p.m. The tour is free, but donations are welcome.

Watch my purse while I’m in the men’s room
Last year, I watched the Counter
Terrorism Unit’s agent extraordinaire,
Jack Bauer, on the hit show
“24” shoot, punch, ram, run, jump,
tackle, hit, smash, tackle and, in
every other manly way imaginable,
fight a gang of ruthless terrorists
bent on killing a foreign dignitary
who was visiting Los Angeles. The
most interesting thing was that the
entire time he was saving the
world from chaos and war, he was
carrying a purse.
Not a woman’s purse, silly! A
man’s purse! A manly olive green,
canvas shoulder bag in which he
kept his cell phone, his supermarket
savings card, his Christmas
card list, his Lava soap, hair gel,
deodorant, a laptop, keys, a pair of
clean underwear, a sleep mask,
handcuffs, pepper spray, a company
charge card, dental floss,
expense account receipts, half of a
ham panini, change for the meter,
moisturizer, hand cream, a Taser,

There are many indications
your financial indicators
will be trending
upward. However, there
are also signs you could
be sluggish in capitalizing
on your opportunities.
Make hay while the sun
shines.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 19) -- Be careful
about those with whom
you select to spend your
day. There are signs you
could choose a companion
who’ll do something
underhanded and cause
you to be accused of complicity.
PISCES (Feb. 20-
March 20) -- You’re not
one who always needs to
set the goals of the day,
but take care not to
entrust that assignment to
someone whose aims
aren’t in harmony with
yours. It’ll be a bummer.
ARIES (March 21-
April 19) -- Expect problems
with co-workers,
especially if you are
hypercritical of their
efforts and overly insistent
they do everything
your way. They’ll be more
efficient doing things
their own way.
TAURUS (April 20-
May 20) -- Someone who
is indebted to you will
find ways to avoid you,
especially if you attempt
to pressure him or her. If
you’re tactful, this person
will be more apt to try
harder to find the means.
GEMINI (May 21-
June 20) -- Should you
have to make a hard decision
that would affect you
and another, make sure
you let this individual
know you are considering
his or her interests, along
with your own.
CANCER (June 21-
July 22) -- Those over
whom you have some
authority will mirror the
work example you set. So
if you want to get more
the time to shop for another one.
Jack doesn’t seem like the kind of
guy who likes to go shopping. I
can’t see him in Macy’s saying,
“Does it come in any other colors?”
“How many items can I take
into the dressing room at one
time?” “Does this make me look
fat?” “Does it come in ecru?” I
can, however, see him holding a
9mm on a sales associate and saying
“Pick out something nice or
I’ll blow your head off. Now!
Move it!”
I can’t picture Jack in a restaurant,
either. I don’t think I’ve ever
seen Jack eat anything on that
show. I keep trying to imagine the
kind of restaurant that Jack Bauer
would like but I draw a blank.
“Would you like to hear about
our specials tonight, Mr. Bauer?”
“Do I look like I have time for
that? Give me something raw.

them perceive you as
being indifferent and

LEO (July 23-Aug.
22) -- Unless you make a
diligent effort to be proficient
in the handling of
your resources or those of
others, you’re apt to be
chastised for loses you
incur. Be prepared to take
some heat.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-
Sept. 22) -- Guard against
inclinations to overreact
to unexpected frustrations.
If you blow small
infractions way out of
proportion, you’ll make
matters far worse.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Without having tolerance,
you might expect
more from persons than
capabilities warrant. And
when they can’t deliver,
you end up getting angry.
You’ll be your own worst
enemy.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-
Nov. 22) -- You have a
tendency of being overly
generous at times, which
is fine. But you may
reward the undeserving
and ignore one who warrants
kindness. It’s a formula
for hurting someone.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- You might
want to reevaluate your
objectives, because the
very goals you go after at
this time aren’t apt to
gratify your needs once
they are attained. Apply
your efforts to essentials.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t suffer
in silence should
something disturbing
occur. Bring it out into the
open with those involved,
where it can be discussed
and resolved to everyone’s
satisfaction.

This isn’t to say that Jack doesn’t
have a tender side. He actually
shed a tear a few weeks back after
he had to kill one of his best
friends. I know what you’re thinking,
“friends don’t shoot friends in
the neck,” but he had to or terrorists
would set off a nuclear weapon
in Los Angeles killing thousands
of people. But it went off anyway
at the end of the show.
“Whoops! Sorry about killing
you. My bad!” Would this have
happened if he had still had his
man purse? Maybe, maybe not.
But at least he would have had a
tissue in there to wipe away his
tears.

Don’t trip over bad treadmill buy
By the Editors of Consumer
Reports
Treadmills are stepping up in
the world with options like
built-in TVs and fans. But
defects in some of the ones we
tested show that quality control
remains an issue.
We recently rated folding and
nonfolding treadmills that provided
workouts to challenge the
avid runner or accommodate the
casual walker. The 18 models
cost $1,000 to $3,500, a large
enough outlay to make an instore
tryout essential. Some featured
TVs and fans. Two combined
solid performance with
comparatively low price, earning
them distinctions as CR Best
Buys.
Spend $3,000 or so on a nonfolding
treadmill and you’ll
likely get more horsepower, a
thicker deck, sturdier construction,
better hardware and a
longer warranty than in a cheaper
machine. (A folding model
with similar specs will cost
about half as much.) Spend less
and you can still get a decent
treadmill that will quicken your
pulse, our tests show.
Before you shop for a treadmill,
check your available space
(a nonfolding model takes up as
much floor space as a small
couch; a folding model about
half that much when closed) and

gains taxes, to transfer the property to a
private annuity trust. Do you have any
acquaintance or experience with those?
A: I have no experience working with
such trusts; we have never done those for
any of our clients. However, we are
familiar with them and have studied the
marketplace. Part of the problem with
strategies like this is their complexity.
Unless you are dealing with a very substantial
amount of money and a very substantial
tax liability, in many cases, it is
not worth the effort because of the legal
fees and other expenses associated with
vehicles like this.
However, if the economic scenario is
substantial enough, and if you don’t
object to adding complexity to your
financial planning, then there is viability
behind the idea. In other words, we don’t
find this concept to be very practical for
most mere mortals. I mean, if you’ve got
a $20,000 or $50,000 tax liability, it’s not
worth it. But if you’ve got tax problems
in the couple-of-hundred-thousand-dollar
range, and if you have sufficient liquidity
with other assets to be able to sustain the
lack of liquidity that you’d be creating for
yourself by executing the strategy, then
DEAR BRUCE: I am in the process of
getting licensed and starting my own lifeinsurance/financial-planning
business. As
my education continues, I have to ask
myself how I feel about the age-old question,
term life or whole life? As I have listened
to you often, I know you generally
encourage people to buy term and invest the
difference. Not a problem for me, I am
working on my Series 7. It seems to me,
though, you avoid a blanket indictment on
whole-life products. What situations do you
think merit whole life? -- J.D., via e-mail
DEAR J.D.: In general, I do suggest and
encourage people to buy term insurance and
invest the difference. However, there are situations,
particularly end-of-life situations,
where buying whole-life insurance can have
a favorable impact on large estates.
However, most of the people to whom
you will be selling are likely to purchase
“death” insurance. They wish to provide for
loved ones in case of an untimely demise.
This is generally a younger client.
Renewable, convertible and without evidence
of insurability, term, in my opinion, is
the way for most people to go.
That said, you are going to have to do a
lot of shopping so you can offer the appropriate
products to your clients. There are
more than 1,000 companies in this country
writing term insurance, many of which are
well rated by Standard and Poor’s, but the
prices are all over the map. This is a place to
do your homework so you can serve your
clients well. It may not be that you will get
wealthy selling term, but if you gain their
trust, there are many other products and services
that will benefit both parties.
DEAR BRUCE: As an “older” woman,

consider your workout.
Fine for walkers
If walking is your exercise,
any of the treadmills we tested
should be fine. Some stood out
from the pack, however.
Among nonfolding models,
we liked the Vision Fitness
T9500 Deluxe ($2,000) and the
Vision Fitness T9200 Simple
(costing $1,300, it’s a CR Best
Buy). Both measuring 52 inches
long by 20 inches wide, they are
relatively compact, as treadmills
go. However, the T9200 Simple
lacks a chest-strap heart-rate
monitor.
Top-rated among all folding
treadmills, the Bowflex 7-Series
($1,500) performed better than
similar models costing hundreds
more. A CR Best Buy, it measures
60 inches long by 20 inches
wide when unfolded -- one of
the longest in our lineup.
Shorter -- and narrower -- models
we liked were the Horizon
Fitness Performance Series
PST8 ($1,600; measuring 57 by
19 inches) and the Keys Fitness
Ironman 320t ($1,200; 54 by
19).
If your workout space is limited,
consider the LifeSpan
TR2000HR ($1,300). At just 51
inches long by 18 inches wide
unfurled, this folding model is
bit small for running, but might
fit into places that can’t accommodate
a larger machine. Note,
though, that it lacks a chest-strap
heart-rate monitor and was one
of our lower-scoring treadmills.
Better for runners
Highest scoring of all the
treadmills we tested, the nonfolding
Landice L7 Series Pro
Sports Trainer ($3,000) is well
designed and sturdy, although it
lacks a chest-strap heart-rate
monitor. It measures 58 inches
long by 20 inches wide.
Other excellent choices for
avid runners are the
NordicTrack S3000 ($3,500; 60
by 20), the SportsArt TR32
($3,500; 60 by 22) and the True
PS300 ($2,400; 60 by 21). The
NordicTrack, which requires a
20-amp outlet, has "quick" keys
that simplify setting the speed.
The SportsArt has adjustable
cushioning, while the True is the
best value.
how can I preserve my profit if I sell my
home without buying into another? I have a
house -- purchased for around $130,000 in
1996 -- that would sell for three times that
amount. What kind of taxes or penalty
would be required and why? I would need
to keep as much as possible in anticipation
of future medical needs. -- M.T., via e-mail
DEAR M.T.: This home has been your
primary residence for two or more years,
which means you are eligible to keep the
$250,000 net profit without any federal
taxes. Taking your numbers, that would be
about $260,000. (I’m sure you can find at
least $10,000 in capital-gains investment in
your home over the past 10 years.) The reality
is, you will pay no tax or, worst-case scenario,
a very small amount. This tax relief
can be repeated every two years, and it is in
no way a condition on buying another
house.
DEAR BRUCE: Should I be paying
myself from my mother’s money that I
manage? Since moving back to Florida nine
years ago, I have had increasing responsibilities
for my 92-year-old mother, who lives
60 miles away. I have gotten her on Tricare.
I have sold her house, car and moved her
twice. I have gotten her an increase in her
veteran’s benefits. I put her money in CDs at
a much higher interest rate than she was getting
from her bank. For the past four years,
Features
and foibles
If sweatin’ to the soaps is
your thing, the NordicTrack
Elite 3200 has an LCD TV in its
control panel. This folding
model (57 inches long by 20
inches wide, when unfurled)
costs $1,900, not including
cable or satellite hookup.
Several models, meanwhile,
have cooling fans built into their
consoles, but we’ve found
they’re not as effective as a floor
fan.
A couple of machines we
tested had manufacturing
defects -- a quality-control issue
that keeps popping up in our
treadmill tests. One, the nonfolding
True PS300, did not run
at all when we got it. That problem
was traced to a faulty circuit
board, which was replaced
under warranty. More troubling
was the Horizon Fitness Elite
CST4.6, a folding model that -at
$1,000 -- was the least expensive
treadmill in our lineup. Its
53 by 19 deck was damaged
during our durability testing,
which is designed to simulate a
year’s worth of regular use. A
second sample of the Elite
CST4.6 we evaluated also
showed damage during testing.
Private annuity transfer’s a big move for investor
Truth about
money
By Ric Edelman
maybe it’s worth reviewing.
Basically, what you are doing is taking
the asset and placing it into a vehicle
where you no longer have access to that
asset. You instead will receive an income
stream from it, which will defer the tax
liability over a number of years, in most
cases, your lifetime. There are significant
restrictions and limitations, both in the
development and in the use of this type of
strategy. And one of the big problems that
we face is the risk that tax law may
change, either making this no longer
valid or no longer necessary because of
alternative opportunities that come into
existence. In other words, I don’t like to
execute long-term financial strategies
that are primarily motivated by taxes; tax
law is too fleeting.
Q: I am just recently divorced and
would like to change my name back to
my maiden name. Do you know if changing
my name back to my maiden name
would have any affect on my credit rating?

and had very little credit in my maiden
name (what I had was not great). I just
don’t want to do anything that would
damage my credit. Are there any other
negative affects to changing your name
that you can shed light on?
A: Changing your name won’t affect
your credit history if you notify your
creditors of the change. When you
change your name, the change is reported
on your credit report. The credit history
built under the previous name will continue
to appear on the credit report and
the previous name will be “also known
as” on the report. This is not a problem.
It is crucial for you to understand that
divorce decrees to separate the payment
responsibility for shared accounts do not
legally end the shared responsibility for
debts. Say you and your ex jointly owe
money on a car loan, and in the divorce
decree, your ex agrees to make all future
payments on that loan. The creditor will
not recognize that agreement; if your ex
fails to make the payments, the creditor
will come after you, and your credit
record is likely to be damaged.
To prevent this, close all joint
accounts, and refinance all debt, placing
the new debt in the sole name of the person
who’s to be responsible for repayment.
This will protect the other spouse.

I have had power of attorney. She was diagnosed
with slow progressing Alzheimer’s
and has been staying in an assisted-living
facility. I go there every two weeks and take
her to all appointments. I manage her affairs
and more.
My sister makes one trip here a year from
another state, stays at our home and spends
a few hours with mother, yet she is listed as
executrix in mother’s will. For the past few
months, I have been buying a tank of gas
when I go to see her but that is all I take. Her
bills are now $300 more a month than her
income, but she is paid into a “life care” program
where she lives, which costs more
than $50,000 and assures she will be cared
for life, even if and when she can no longer
pay. My husband thinks I should be reimbursing
myself for all I have done and am still
doing. Her assets are about $70,000, which
is in CDs in my name and my husband’s,
with my sister as beneficiary. Any suggestions
would be appreciated. -- S.K.,
Lecanto, Fla.
DEAR S.K.: Given that your sister takes
little interest in your mother and yet she will
be the major beneficiary at the time of your
mom’s passing, I see no reason why you
should not be reimbursed for expenses
incurred looking after your mother’s interests.
It may be after the fact that your sister
will take some exception to this, but it
would appear to me that her practical
options would be limited. I’d take the
expenses. You haven’t mentioned why your
mom chose your sister as executrix and as
the beneficiary of her CDs, but since your
mother has Alzheimer’s, we will probably
never know.
Chicken soup
for the sick?
Have you ever wondered whether chicken soup really does
have medicinal effects against colds and flu? Me, too. Recently,
I decided to find out.
Here’s what I learned: There is some scientific evidence to
suggest that homemade chicken soup contains several ingredients
that affect the body’s immune system. Dr. Stephen
Rennard, University of Nebraska Medical Center, says chicken
soup has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe sore throats
and ease the misery of colds and flu. That’s good enough for
me.
But here’s the problem: Typically, it takes a long time to turn
out a pot of homemade chicken soup. And when you’re sick or
someone you love is ailing, the chances of finding three or
more hours to make soup are slim. But you don’t have to.
Here’s how to make rich, hearty, flavorful chicken soup in
about 50 minutes -- start to finish.
Chicken Noodle Soup
1 whole chicken, about 3-1/2 pounds
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
2 quarts boiling water
2 teaspoons salt
pepper to taste
2 bay leaves
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1 rib celery, roughly chopped
2 cups (3 ounces) wide egg noodles
Everyday
Cheapskate
By Mary Hunt
Prepare the chicken: Discard giblets and neck from the cavity.
With a cleaver, knife or poultry shears, hack off the legs,
wings and thighs. Don’t worry about being neat. Cut each of
these pieces into two or three smaller pieces. Cut the back from
the breast, break it and cut it into two halves. Cut the back into
several pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large stock pot or other large pot.
Once very hot, drop in half of the chicken pieces and saute until
brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl, and
repeat with the rest of the chicken. Place all chicken pieces in
the bowl. Add the onion to the pot and saute over medium-high
heat until lightly colored and soft, stirring constantly, 2 to 3
minutes. Find those two breast halves and set them aside.
Return the rest of the chicken to the pot, reduce heat to low,
cover, and cook until chicken releases its juices, about 20 minutes.
Increase heat to high, and add boiling water, chicken breasts,
salt, pepper and bay leaves. Bring back to simmer, cover and
simmer until breasts are cooked, about 20 minutes. The dark
broth will be extra rich and flavorful.
Remove the breasts from the pot and set aside. When cool
enough to handle, remove the skin and shred the breast meat
from the bones. Discard skin and bones. Strain broth into a separate
pot and discard the solids. All of the goodness has been
cooked from the rest of the chicken, so you are not being wasteful.
Skim fat for later use in other recipes or discard. Return the
clear broth to the pot with the shredded chicken.
Bring back to boil. In a small skillet, saute the chopped carrot
and chopped celery in 1 tablespoon of oil. Add to the pot
along with the egg noodles and cook until just tender, about 5
minutes. Adjust with salt and pepper as necessary and serve.
Serves 6 to 8.
To your health!

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys,
Two weeks ago I bought a massage
chair with a heater and massager
built into it. It's the kind you usually
see on demo at the mall. However, I
picked it up from the classifieds for
only $400. That's a steal since it sells
for almost $3,000 new. I know
because the person I bought it from
had the original receipt and paperwork.
I was so excited, I put it right in
front of our big screen TV. The problem
is my rambunctious son broke
the massage mechanism within the
first month. Now it only massages
on the right side. While reading
through the paperwork, I discovered
that the previous owner bought an
extended warranty that may offer a
lifetime guarantee on the mechanism.
Does that mean I can
get the company to fix the
part under warranty or am I
out of luck because I
bought the chair used?
• • •
Cash: With a rambunctious son
around the house, you could probably
use a good massage. Although with
your dilemma, it looks like you'll only
be half relaxed.
Carry: It's always a good idea to get
the original paperwork or receipts when

your case, it not only told you the original

read the warranty very carefully and
determine if the coverage applies to your
case. Many warranties limit their coverage
to manufacturer defects and won't
cover problems resulting from consumer
abuse. However, some extended warranties
may offer additional coverage
with fewer limits.

Fast Facts
Extended Warranties
Do you buy extended warranties on
new products? If so, you're not alone.
According to Consumer Reports, shoppers
were expected to spend $1.6 billion
on extended warranties over the 2006
holiday season. However according to
their research, extended warranties are
rarely worth the cost. Most electronics
and appliances today are very reliable
which makes those unused warranties
very profitable for retailers and manufacturers.
Most consumers also admit to
wanting a newer model with updated features
when their product finally breaks.
Pressure Cooker
Whether it's from commuting, deadlines,
or long hours, many jobs bring
about a lot of stress. More and more
workers suffer from physical problems
like high blood pressure, headaches, achy
muscles, and loss of sleep because of the
stress experienced in their work environment.
A recent report by the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health, found that 40% of workers report
their job to be "very" or "extremely"
stressful. Nearly 550 million working
days are lost annually from stress related
absenteeism.

LOST &
FOUND
❤ I am Sadie ❤
I love the people
here at the shelter,
but I sure do not
like being surrounded
by barking dogs.
Especially since I
am recovering from
heartworm treatment.
I really need
a very calm home
to live in while I get
better. The home
could be my forever
one or a monthlong
foster home.
Please call Sage if
you can help me.
❤ 467-6453 ❤
I wandered quite a
bit before I came into
the shelter. People
all over town
have fed and loved
me. Now I am
cared for by the
shelter staff and I
would love to find a
home. I am a neutered
male. I am
healthy and just
about a year or two
old. Please come
to the shelter at
298 Plant Rd. to
meet me or call
Sage 467-6453
Reader Humor
Stressing Out
Working at a weekly magazine
makes my office very fast paced.
Most newly hired employees go
crazy trying to keep up with the multiple
projects and deadlines.
That's exactly what happened to
my new assistant. When I walked
into the office one afternoon, I found
her struggling to answer the phones
while printing reports and swimming
through a sea of papers on her desk.
Noticing she was near a breakdown, I
went over to calm her down.
"The only way to do this," I said,
"is to concentrate on one task at a
time." After a few deep breathes I
continued, "Now what are you going
to do first?"
Surprisingly she replied, "I'm
going to lunch!"
(Thanks to Leah M.)
