DAILY JOURNAL
Survivor recalls the horror of
Jonestown
Ukiahan travels back to Guyana
By ROB BURGESS
The Daily Journal
It took almost 30 years, but
Tracy Diaz has finally
found closure.
“I have the peace that I was
looking for,” she said Friday,
sitting in the dining room of her
Ukiah home. “I feel the biggest
weight off my shoulders. I feel
like I could fly.”
Diaz, formerly Tracy Parks,
is a survivor of the Jonestown
massacre that took the lives of
more than 900 members of the
Peoples Temple religious movement
led by the Rev. Jim Jones.
Diaz and her friend Annette
Brockway were part of a soonto-be-aired
CNN documentary
hosted by Soledad O’Brien
marking the 30th anniversary of
the tragedy.
A segment of the program
was filmed on location at the
airstrip in Guyana where then

12-year-old Diaz witnessed
members of the formerly
Redwood Valley-based church
gun down her mother, Patricia
Parks, and four others as they
attempted to flee.
Diaz said she and a few others
were lost in the equatorial
jungle for four days before
being rescued as they were near
death.
“The only thing that was
gone was this little shed on the
side of the airstrip and that’s
where in my mind I was going
to remember where the big
plane was so I could remember
where my mom’s body lay so I
could do her memorial,” she
said. “They actually took the
picture while we were over
there, and one of the tour guides
that was going to take us back
into Jonestown said he remembered
me. He remembered them
“Our mission is to make excellent
wines for people to enjoy, and to preserve
this property exactly the way I
found it,” says Hubert Lenczowski, coproprietor
of Duncan Peak Vineyards,
on Mountain House Road just west of
Hopland. “The only thing we’ve
changed is that there are grapevines.”
On a sunny afternoon two weeks
ago those vines had been harvested.
Bins of fat black petite sirah grapes and
the tiny ruby cabernet grapes were
beginning fermentation next to the
iconic barn on Lenczowski’s 110-acre
ranch at the base of Duncan Peak. We
step back to admire the barn, built in
1860. The peak of the barn reproduces

which rises in symmetry as a backdrop
for the namesake vineyard and winery.
This property was part of the
15,000-acre Rancho Sanel Mexican
Land Grant awarded to Fernando Feliz
in the early 1800s. In 1858, Elijah
Duncan purchased this property and
other acreage from the Rancho. The
barn, built of virgin redwood planks
and timbers, has been carefully
restored by Lenczowski, who points to
some of the original square nails used
to build the barn. Inside, winery equipment
replaces the cow stalls. The
hipped shed, which was once for sheep
and chickens, is now a temperature
controlled cellar for barrel aging.

smoke detector works
The Daily Journal
If you have forgotten to set back your
clock one hour for the end of Daylight
Saving Time, do so now, and inspect your
smoke detector while you are at it.
Cal Fire is reminding people to “change
your clock -- change your battery,” a Cal
Fire news release stated this week.
According to statistics, 96 percent of all
homes in the United States have smoke
detectors and 65 percent of home-fire fatalities
happen in homes that either do not have
a smoke alarm or have one that is not working.
The following smoke alarm maintenance
tips are provided by Cal Fire:
-Test your smoke alarm once every
month.
-Replace the batteries two times per year.
-Even if you are doing so temporarily, do
not disable the alarm.
-Vacuum or dust your alarm to keep it in
working condition.
-Rehearse a fire drill so that everyone
knows what to do when a smoke alarm
sounds.

Near end of historic campaign, it’s
Democrats who have high hopes
WASHINGTON (AP) — Counting down to Election Day,
Barack Obama appears within reach of becoming the nation’s
first black president as the epic campaign draws to a close
against a backdrop of economic crisis and lingering war. John
McCain, the battle-scarred warrior, holds out hope for a
Truman-beats-Dewey-style upset.
Whoever wins, the country’s 44th president will immediately
confront some of the most difficult economic challenges
since the Great Depression.
In that effort, he’ll almost surely be working with a stronger
Democratic majority in Congress, as well as among governors
and state legislatures nationwide. GOP incumbents at every
level are endangered just eight years after President Bush’s
election ignited talk of lasting Republican Party dominance.
It’s been an extraordinary campaign of shattered records,
ceilings and assumptions. Indeed, a race for the ages.
Democrat Obama has exuded confidence in the campaign’s
final days, reaching for a triumph of landslide proportions.
“The die is being cast as we speak,” says campaign manager
David Plouffe.

African-Americans feel joy, caution, hope,
pride as Obama nears mountaintop
(AP) - Lula Cooper expects the tears to flow if Barack
Obama becomes the first black president. But she’s not breaking
out the tissues just yet.
“I cried when I marked my ballot for him. We’ve had such an
incredible journey to this point,” said the former civil rights
activist, her voice quavering. “I think he’s going to win, but I
really am very, very cautious.”
Like a Hollywood blockbuster whose conclusion feels
assured but still sets the heart racing, the endgame of this election
has gripped black America with a powerful mixture of
emotions.
Obama’s potential victory represents a previously unimaginable
triumph over centuries of racism. But beneath the hope and
pride lies fear: of polling inaccuracy, voting chicanery, or the
type of injustice and violence that have historically stymied
African-American progress.
Cooper, 75, experienced the oppression of the 1950s and
’60s as she was dragged off to jail for protesting segregation in
Wilmington, Del., where her husband was DuPont’s first black
chemist. Now living in the Southwest, she said she experienced
modern politics when her husband lost a recent bid to become
their city’s first black mayor after the election was switched to
mail-in ballots rather that polling-place voting.
So when it comes to Obama, Cooper is “optimistic and hopeful
— but experience plays a big part.”

LOCALLY OPERATED MEMBER
Obama asks supporters to ‘change the
world;’ John McCain seeks late upset
SPRINGFIELD, Va. (AP) — Warmed by the cheers of thousands,
John McCain and Barack Obama plunged through the
final weekend of their marathon race for the White House, the
Republican digging for an upset while his confident-sounding
rival told supporters, “We can change this country.”
“Yes we can,” he added, his slogan across 21 months of campaigning.
Both candidates were backed by legions of surrogate campaigners,
door to door canvassers and volunteers at phone banks
scattered across the country as they made their final rounds
Saturday in a race that carried a price tag estimated at $2 billion.
Obama, ahead in the polls, maintained stride despite news
that an aunt from Kenya, Zeituni Onyango, lives in the U.S. illegally.
The Democratic candidate “has no knowledge of her status
but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be
followed,” said a written statement given to The Associated
Press, which reported the story. Campaign strategist David
Axelrod added, “I think people are suspicious about stories that
surface in the last 72 hours of a national campaign.”

SUPERVISORS OPT FOR 80-BED JAIL. Mendocino County
Board of Supervisors yesterday approved in concept the construction
of a new 80 bed jail to replace the antiquated facility in
the County Courthouse, and directed staff to submit an application
for a $1 million state grant to pay for a portion of the construction
costs.
The new facility, to be located behind the sheriff’s office on
Low Gap Road, will consist of a concrete block core building
with modular steel wings. The RCF Company of Hayward has
estimated the cost of the structure at $2.2 million.
Site preparation costs could swell the final price tag to $2.5
million, according to county Chief Administrative Officer Al
Beltrami.
Sheriff deputy Jim Tuso, who has overseen preparation of the
county’s grant application, said the new jail would take six to
nine months to build. The modular portions have an expected
useful life of 30 years, he said.
The Sheriff’s Department is restricted by a court order and the
state fire marshal from confining more than 46 prisoners at the
36-bed facility on the third floor of the courthouse. Although the
county has long discussed building a new jail, tight finances
have been a substantial stumbling block.

KING DAY ESTABLISHED. WASHINGTON (UPI) –
President Reagan, in a Rose Garden ceremony marked by the
spontaneous singing of “We shall overcome,” signed a law today
establishing a legal holiday honoring civil rights leader Martin
Luther King Jr.
In remarks before signing the measure, Reagan said King had
“stirred our nation to the depths of its soul.”
He recited King’s most famous words, the clarion call of the
great 1963 march on Washington, “I have a dream,” and predicted
the dream of equality for all Americans will come true.

WILLITS JUDGESHIP ONLY COUNTY RACE AT STAKE.
The only Mendocino County race at stake in tomorrow’s election
is for the judgeship of the Little Lake Judicial District in Willits.
Judge Fred S. Foord’s seat is being contested by Fred P. Collins
of Willits, an insurance broker, and Robert Winslow, a lawyer, of
Willits. Judge Foord will retire from office at the end of his term.
In spite of the lack of local issues, an estimated 82 per cent of
the registered voters are expected to turn out at the polls in this
county tomorrow in one of the most hotly contested state and district
elections in many years.
County Clerk W. J. “Jim” Broaddus announces that 22,311 voters
are registered of which 12,893 are Democrats, 8,881 are
Republicans, 7 are Prohibitionists and 530 have declined to state
their preference.
Broaddus said at noon today that 290 of the 602 absentee ballots
mailed have been returned to date. Ballots must be postmarked
as of Nov. 4 in order to be counted, regardless of where
mailed.

BUNCO MAN TRIPPED BY LOCAL BANK. One of the oldest
of confidence games, set up to raid banks from Eureka to Santa
Rosa, met disaster in Ukiah Friday when Herbert Merrell
Crawford, alias Earl Davis, was arrested in the Bank of America
by Sgt. Jerry Ransom and officer Paul McCoey of the Ukiah
Police Department as Crawford waited to pick up a cashier’s
check for $1,200 drawn against an “account” opened the first of
the week.
Crawford opened accounts Wednesday of last week by depositing
$100 in cash at the Bank of America and the Savings Bank of
Mendocino County. At the Bank of America the next day he withdrew
$60 and deposited a fictitious check in the amount of $1,650.
Friday Crawford returned and asked for a cashier’s check for
$1,625.
In the meantime the Eureka branch of the Bank of America
reported to the district office at Santa Rosa concerning Crawford’s
operations in that city and all Bank of America institutions were
alerted.

10 – our parents used to
fight once in a while, and on
one particular time it got a
little rough. While they were
fighting, Patty tried to protect
and comfort me. She
held me close as we hid in
the bathroom. I remember I
was crying and she held me
close and (told) me that
everything was going to be
all right.
Patty and Joan would kid
around and flirt with some
of the guys I hung out with,
usually the ones a little older
than me. Patty married a
nice young man Jerry Parks
from South Charleston,
Ohio. Patty and I were close,
but later our sister Linda
became much closer. I did
spend the night several
times with Patty and Jerry. I
also spent the night with
Jerry’s brother Dennis. Later
on as adults we ran around
together.
I also remember riding
with Patty in her car one
time and thinking what a
smart and beautiful sister I
have. Patty and Jerry had
three children: Brenda, Dale
and Tracy. After Patty and
Jerry were married for several
years, they both went to
work for a local dairy company,
Lawson Dairy. They
were managers of one of
their stores and Jerry also
did some work at the main
plant. Patty always seemed
happy to me. Like most
families, there were some
problems in their marriage,
but I don’t believe it was
anything to worry about.
riage barn, belonged to my greatgrandparents,
Ludwig and Lydia
Holzhauser. It was located on
School Street where the Mendo-
Lake Credit Union has their parking
lot just across from the Ukiah
Daily Journal. In later years it was
used as a garage for my grandparents’
vehicles. They were Karl and
Nina Holzhauser. I took this photo
in the mid-1960s with my Kodak
box camera.”
The barn was torn down a few
years after the photo was taken.
In the mid-1960’s, my
wife and I had a daughter,
and a month or two later
Patty had their youngest
child Tracy, who by the way
is the youngest survivor of
Jonestown. It was just a few
months after that when Patty
and Jerry attended a little
church in South Charleston
that Jerry’s grandfather had
started several years back. It
was a Pentecostal church. I
bring this up because Jimmy
Jones also preached in a
Pentecostal church in
Indiana and he had visited
their church several times. It
was around this time they
started telling us about him.
My wife and I actually visited
their church and heard
Jimmy Jones speak. He
claimed to have done a healing
on a child that night we
were there. I remember him
having the child brought up
to the front so he could lay
his hands on him and then
he claimed he had removed
a tumor from some organ
and the child was healed.
Patty told us that Jimmy
Jones had told them that
God had told him there was
going to be a nuclear war
and God wanted him to take
his church and these folks in
South Charleston and a few
other churches to Ukiah in
northern California. It was a
little town down in a valley
where they would be protected
from fallout, and the
people there would be the
people God would start the
world over with. It sounded
good. I believe it was just a
couple of months later that
most of Jerry’s family – and
of course Patty – packed up
and moved to Ukiah.
Right away Patty wrote
Mom and told her how
happy they were and how
nice it was where they were
living. Then she let us know
that we were not to send any
Christmas gifts because
Jimmy taught that they
should all be equal, that no
one should receive more
than the other.
After they moved out
there, many poor people
became a part of this group
and some of them lived in
bad situations. Patty and
Jerry were able to get their
own place, though. Both of
them had jobs and worked
hard.
In the early 70’s I went
into the ministry and began
to hear troubling things
about Jimmy Jones and this
cult that my sister and her
family got wrapped up in.
My mother and my older
sister both went out to visit
them, and my mom actually
lived out there for a while.
They said it was a little
weird, that the people treated
Jimmy Jones as though
he were God and that they
heard him say he was the
Christ. My brother also visited
while he was in the service,
but he didn’t seem to
understand what was going
on.
Jimmy Jones wrote my

leaving our father and moving
back out there. This was
what God wanted her to do,
Jimmy said. I remember
reading that letter and pointing
out to my mom how
many times he mentioned
his name – about 30 – to

God’s name ... –
once.

photo contest and will receive a
free copy of “Reflections: A
Pictorial History of Inland

which may be claimed at the

Thanks to all who entered this
month’s contest.
I wrote Patty a number of
letters telling her what I was
hearing, but she just said she
was happier than she had
ever been and it was not
really any of my business.
I was preaching in
Indiana at this time and then
moved to a ministry in
Louisiana. We had heard
that Patty and her family
were going to a South
American country to help
start a children’s home. And
then there I was watching
TV and they broke in and
told what had happened and
it was there that I heard the
horrible news about my sister
being killed on some
airstrip and they showed this
video of people on a wagon
being pulled by a tractor
shooting at people trying to
board the plane. This of
course is where my sister
was killed as her youngest
daughter Tracy stood next to
her side. Tracy was not hurt
– and we thank God for that
– but she did spend several
days in the jungle hiding
with others.
My wife and I recently
went out to Ukiah to visit
Patty’s and our family. We
found that they are still devastated
by what had taken
place in their lives 30 years
ago. They never really had
any closure since Patty’s
funeral was held before her
family got back to the
States.
Patty was a good person
and full of love. I know she
was a good mother but
somehow this nut Jones
really had her brainwashed
at least until they got to
Jonestown.

murderer Robert Knowles has been called during his 13 years
behind bars, recycler hasn’t been one of them.
But there he was one morning, pitchfork in hand, composting
food scraps from the main chow line and coffee grounds
from prison headquarters — doing his part to “green” the
prison. “It’s nice to be out in the elements,” said Knowles, 42,
stirring dark, rich compost that will amend the soil at the small
farm where he and fellow inmates of the Cedar Creek
Corrections Center grew 8,000 pounds of organic vegetables
this year. Inmates of the minimum-security facility, 25 miles
from Olympia, the state capital, raise bees, grow organic tomatoes
and lettuce, compost 100 percent of food waste and even
recycle shoe scraps that are made into playground turf.
“It reduces cost, reduces our damaging impact on the environment,
engages inmates as students,” said Eldon Vail, secretary
of the Washington Department of Corrections, which oversees
15 prisons and 18,000 offenders. “It’s good security.”

it was past midnight, but sleep did not come easy.
Twice during the night, the broker had climbed out from the
covers and returned to the television, trying to get a read on
what investors were thinking in Tokyo and Hong Kong and to
see what the futures market foretold about the trading day
ahead. Now, the digital board hanging over the New York Stock
Exchange’s maple hardwood floor showed 9:24 a.m.
Six minutes left until the open.
But in one corner of the trading floor, brokers for Stuart
Frankel & Co. had been at their stations for more than 2 1/2
hours. Frankel, president of the company founded by his father,
had been on the floor since 8, working the phones, swigging
coffee, “trying to get ready for what seems to be getting
whacked in the head every day.”
Chrysler may run out of pavement before
it comes up with another big seller
DETROIT (AP) — In crises past, Chrysler has somehow
managed to stamp out a blockbuster hit vehicle to pull itself
away from the cliff’s edge. But as it faces a possible sale to
another automaker and what may be the most serious problems
in its 83-year history, industry analysts say there’s nothing in
the current product portfolio that looks like a savior.
Chrysler’s U.S. sales are down 25 percent through
September, the worst decline of any major automaker. Losses
are mounting: well over $1 billion for the first half of the year.

40-to-life-plus 8-yr. sentence in Willits killing
The Daily Journal
A 27-year-old Ukiah man was sentenced
to prison for 40-years-to-life plus
eight years in the December 2007 killing
of a 32-year-old Willits man, James
Redenius.
Michael Jeffrey Marlin was convicted
of one count of second-degree murder
and personal use of a firearm, a second
count of burglary with personal use of a
firearm and a third count of possession of
a firearm by a convicted felon on June
27, 2008, the District Attorney’s Office
reported Friday.
According to the report, Marlin was
angry with Redenius about a confrontation
Redenius had with Marlin’s mother
near a Willits bar. It is stated that Marlin’s
mother had broken up a fight between
Redenius and another person.
Three days after the fight, the District
Attorney’s Office stated, Marlin was at a
Willits pizza parlor drinking beer when
witnesses said Marlin used the phrase
‘kick his ass’ in reference to Redenius.
On Dec. 16, 2007, Redenius went to
answer his door, then, following a quick
argument, he told Marlin ‘to get the hell
out.’ This was told by Redenius to
Sheriff's deputies before he died on
arrival to Howard Memorial Hospital.
At the door of Redenius’s house, after
the confrontation, Marlin shot Redenius
in the chest and then fired five more shots
at a bedroom where Redenius had retreated.
The DA stated that during the trial,
Marlin said that Redenius was the first to
shoot. Witnesses also said Redenius had a
reputation of violence. Evidence at the
scene did not support Marlin’s story, the
DA’s Office stated.
Eight-year sentence in graduation party stabbing
The Daily Journal
A 20-year-old Santa Rosa man was
sentenced to eight years in state prison
Friday for his involvement in a June 14
gang-related fight in the 900 block of
Marlene Street.
Christian Miguel Mendez was convicted
of assault with a deadly weapon or
by means of force likely to cause great
bodily injury and that the offense was
committed for the benefit of or in association
with a criminal street gang, a
District Attorney’s Office report stated.
Jordan Nunez was one of the victims
in a large fight following a graduation
party, the DA’s office stated, and he nearly
died from his injuries. It was learned
Briefly Continued from Page A-2
that another man who ran had also been
stabbed.
In June, Ukiah Police Department officers
found a car with seven passengers;
some in the car had blood on them. It was
determined that two passengers had been
stabbed. The injured were identified as
members of the Norteño gang.
According to the DA’s Office, the
investigation revealed that two carloads
of people arrived at the party. From the
cars, one man carried a bar and others
began to attack people at the party. Then
the attackers drove away, with a bloodied
knife being thrown from one of the cars.
The attack was determined to have been
carried out by Sureño gang members or
associates of it. They were identified as:
Mendez, Steven Mendez, Arthur
Mendez, Jacob Garcia and one juvenile.
The DA stated that Mendez was the
one with the knife. At his sentencing he
said that he was not a gang member, and
that he had moved on and he denied stabbing
anyone.
Deputy District Attorney Jill Ravish
stated that Mendez possessed a room and
a car containing gang items and that earlier
that day he was seen by officers
flashing a gang sign.
The others involved are scheduled to
be sentenced in December.

Police take news photographer’s footage
By SUDHIN THANAWALA
Associated Press Writer
OAKLAND — Police confiscated video footage Friday
from an Oakland Tribune photographer who was filming students
protesting federal immigration policy.
Tribune employee Jane Tyska was outside the Fruitvale
BART station when she was detained and her tape taken away
by a school police officer, according to the newspaper.
Oakland Unified School District spokesman Troy Flint said
officer Art Michel was escorting the protesters, and that the
officer took the footage as evidence that Tyska was interfering
with his ability to perform his duties.
He said the incident began when Tyska ran into Michel’s
patrol car, scratching the vehicle and bending a side mirror.
But Tyska told The Oakland Tribune that Michel’s car
grazed her as she was walking backward.
She said the officer yelled profanities at her and threatened
to arrest her. “I immediately identified myself as a photographer
for The Oakland Tribune, showed him my press pass and
said I was just doing my job,” she told the paper.
Tyska was eventually released without being cited, according
to the newspaper.
Flint said authorities could still file charges against Tyska.
“(Michel) took the tape away not out of spite, but as evidence
to document the crime which occured,” Flint said. “His
feeling was he was cutting her a break by not arresting her.”
Police are generally not allowed to seize what they think
could be evidence in a future case without a warrant or subpoena,
said Peter Scheer, executive director of the California
First Amendment Coalition.
Things are so bad that Chrysler LLC wants to shed a quarter of
its salaried work force, and its owner, Cerberus Capital
Management LP, is talking with General Motors Corp. and others
about a sale.
Of Chrysler’s 26 models on sale in both 2007 and 2008, only
four have sold more this year than last, and three of those are
small-volume niche vehicles such as the Dodge Viper. The company’s
market share has dwindled from 16.2 percent in 1996 to
11 percent this year, according to Ward’s AutoInfoBank.
Analysts say there are no cutting-edge designs or potential
big sellers in sight to rescue the maker of the Chrysler, Dodge
and Jeep brands.
Fox cancels long-running ‘King of the
Hill’; renews ‘American Dad’ for year
LOS ANGELES (AP) — “King of the Hill” is over the hill
at Fox, which is canceling the long-running animated comedy.
Final episodes of the half-hour series, now in its 13th year,
likely will air during the 2009-10 season, Fox said Friday. The
network recently ordered 13 new episodes, and animated series
have a long production schedule.
“King of the Hill” chronicles the life of blue-collar family
man Hank Hill of Texas and his family and friends. Hank is
voiced by series co-creator and executive producer Mike Judge.
Others in the cast include Kathy Najimy, Brittany Murphy and
Stephen Root.

City worker shares kudos
To the Editor:
Just wanted to say thank you to Mr.
Bernie for the kind words, I also think it is
important to point out that I’m not unique
in fact most of the City of Ukiah staff provide
the same type of service every day in
some facet or the other. Whether it’s management,
all of the workers at City Hall, or
the guys I work with in the water and
sewer department. I appreciate the recognition
but I can’t think of a single City
employee that doesn’t put the public first
every day.

Ukiah
Impeach now
To the Editor:
How many impeachable offenses are
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney going to
be allowed to commit before they are
stopped? What possible justification is
there for not impeaching these criminals? It
is the duty of Representatives in the House
and Senators to impeach the President and
the Vice President in circumstances like
these. It matters not a wit that these
crooks’ terms are almost up. Do your
duty. Defend the constitution. Impeach.

Shouldn’t they pay?
To the Editor:
Monday I read in the Journal that the
Mendocino County Board of Supervisers
has approved an expenditure of $57,270
for an EIR report on the Harris Quarry.
Am I missing something here? The
quarry wants to convert from a quarry into
an asphalt plant, from what I gather.
If the quarry wants to expand or change
its function, isn’t it up to them to pay for
the EIR and the job of the county to
approve same?

Animal control
doing good job
To the Editor:
I would like to respond to local veterinarian
Dr. Haynes’ letter and his proposal
to close the spay and neuter clinic at the
Mendocino County Animal Care and
Control shelter. That clinic has been the
best thing to happen to our animal community
in a long time. I can remember when a
surrender to the shelter was an almost sure
death sentence for most of the animals.
Today it is a place of caring and compassion
for every animal that enters their door.
Their costs are higher because instead of
killing the animals, they work to find
homes for them. I am one of the many foster
moms who care for the homeless animals
and I have seen first hand the
progress that has been made there.
If Dr. Haynes were truly concerned for
small business owners and public funds
instead of his wallet, why isn’t he also
advocating the closure of the Mendocino
County Public Health Department that provides
medical services to in-need families
requiring much larger amounts of public
funds than Animal Care and Control? I
have never heard a single local physician
even suggesting such a thing and I am sure
I never will. That’s called integrity.
I recently took a trip to the interior of
Mexico and was horrified at the packs of
homeless dogs in varying stages of starvation
and disease roaming the streets
because there are no governmental shelters
or clinics to care for or spay and neuter
their animals.
I ask all animal advocates and guardians
to work together for those who have no
voice. We cannot ever allow our spay and
neuter clinic to close. This is truly a life
and death issue for these animals. Please

In our opinion
Good reasons to vote
We suspect most of our readers will be
very happy to have Tuesday’s election over.
After almost two years of presidential
politics and a year of local supervisor contests,
voters can be forgiven if they just want
to get it over with.
But hang on to your enthusiasm for just a
couple more days and make sure that you
vote in this election.
We won’t go into the many good reasons
to vote in any presidential election, but we
believe our own local races are important
too. Two supervisor seats are on the ballot,
one in the 1st District where an incumbent is
on the ballot and one in the 2nd District
where two people are vying for the seat of a
retiring supervisors.
This county faces an uphill battle in the
coming months and years.
We know now that the county has been
sitting on millions of dollars of debt that it
did not disclose to the public soon enough.
That, plus the coming tsunami of pension
obligations and retirement health care costs
call, write, or e-mail your county supervisor
and make your voice heard for those
who can’t. As Mahatma Gandhi said:
“The greatness of a nation and its moral
progress can be judged by the way its animals
are treated.”

To the Editor:
Military service can be an introduction
to independent thought.
When I was young I joined the United
States Air Force in an entirely non-combatant
role. During my service I was stationed
in various places in the United States and
in Europe. My experiences led ultimately
to my belief that modern wars are a threat
to civilization and the survival of life on
this planet.
My youngest son, a city fireman by
trade and a member of the National Guard
has been sent to Iraq to patrol the dangerous
streets of Bagdad. I pray for his safe
return and the safe return of all our occupying
forces. the least we can do is to let
other nations live as we live without occupying
foreign armies. Only philosophers
and fools believe that wars ever lead to
peace.

for county employees makes it critical that
we elect serious people who will be open
with the public about the very hard decisions
that are coming.
We need people who will work with,
rather than against, the county union on cuts
in personnel or services that seem inevitable.
We need people who understand that it
will be difficult enough to move ahead in
this economic climate and who will have the
good judgment and thorough knowledge of
our community to foster new ideas for economic
development that do not leave us
dependent on dead end jobs.
We need people who understand that
while our resources are limited we still need
to do more to make the most of our agricultural
traditions while making room for housing
and development that gives us room to
grow.
All in all, there are lots of good reasons to
vote on Tuesday and we urge all our readers
to go to the polls, or mail that ballot, or drop
off that ballot - just make your vote count.
No on Prop. 9
WHERE TO WRITE
To the Editor:
Please make sure you read all the pros
and cons on Prop 9. Yes it sounds like a
proposition that should go through, but do
you know who it will really hurt if it does
go through?
Don’t you agree our public schools
already suffer enough? If this law goes
through they will suffer even more, there
will be less tax payers’ money for schools
in order to fund the hundreds of millions of
dollars it will cost to keep people in prison
longer.
Notable opponents include the
California Democratic Party, the California
Professional Firefighters, the California
Teachers Association, California Church
IMPACT, the Los Angeles Times, the Ella
Baker Center for Human Rights and the
American Friends Service Committee
Pacific Mountain Region, and thirty major
editorial boards such as The San Francisco
Chronicle, The Fresno Bee, etc.
Those in favor of Prop. 9 are mostly law
enforcement.
The man who introduced Prop. 9 has
had to back out of the lime light because
he has been indicted on felony criminal
charges of fraud, conspiracy, and drugs.

Asphalt plant not needed
To the Editor:
As one of only two people present Tuesday, Oct.
21 to comment on the Consent Calendar- specifically,
Item 18 which pertained to a request for an additional
$ 57,270.00 for the Harris Quarry Environmental
Health Impact report- I would like to give my first
hand account and personal impressions of a meeting
that might normally be a routine passage of a large
collection of consent items passed together to save
time. Controversies can sometimes detour “business
as usual,’’ and did so this day.
It’s time to clear the air.
First, a little background. The Harris Quarry
Expansion Project is a quest to change zoning laws
and thereby further seek permission to expand the
quarry to include an asphalt manufacturing plant and
a cement batch plant. The objectives, if approved by
the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors, will
also “pave the way” for more zoning changes and
more plants throughout Mendocino County. These are
the facts. Also indisputable is the fact that this plant,
and all future plants will spew thousands of tons of
toxic pollutants into the air, including the dumping of
30,000 pounds of toxic volatile organic compounds
and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons into the atmosphere
with no intention of using best available technology
which has been available for 40 years -which
could be judged by some as the best but not
necessarily good. Some pollutants will migrate, with
rain, into underground water supplies. Polluted water
and air know no boundaries. Can anyone forget the
smoke from the recent fires, that would hang on for
days, often coming from distances unknown? Special
weather phenomena common to this area, along with
the topography collected and concentrated the effects.
Do you remember how good it felt when you were
finally able to get a refreshingly clean breath of fresh
air? This is what this battle is about.
The decisions made and the votes cast on this matter
will affect us all for generations -- they are
requesting a permit for 100 years.
Now to the controversies: Normally this writer
would never notice an obscure listing lost in a packed
agenda, hiding harmlessly in cyberspace -- but this
day I did. More importantly, I accidentally happened
upon another document entitled: “Bid Proposal For
Additional Services.” Who reads stuff like this ? But I
did. Bottom line, this was a request for more money
by Leonard Charles and Associates to continue analysis
on a process called an “Environmental Impact
Report,” -- related to the Harris Quarry project. The
additional monies were being requested by the consultant
for analysis that would be required to assess
new revelations (requests) by the applicant (owner) of
the quarry, which included more generators, more
trucks, heavy equipment changes and a request to
widen Highway 101, presumably to accommodate the
additional massive truck traffic. There were other
requests as well -- all seemingly “moving the goal
posts” at the last minute. The most notable entry in
this nine page document for this writer was Leonard
Charles’ statement: “The County informed LCA that
they wanted to conduct a hearing to consider certifying
their EIR on Dec. 16, 2008.” Controversy:
Leonard Charles, in the document, requested 10
weeks to do the additional work and indicated pressure
from the County to do it in 7.5 weeks for the
purpose of making the Dec. 16 deadline for certification
(passage) of the EIR. Absent extreme measures
such as lawsuits, this is tantamount to approving the
project. Charles further observed that there could be
legal hurdles with such forced timing.
The ugly gorilla in this Board Room was “Why
such insistence on the date of Dec. 16?” It was obvious
to some that focus on this date could be more
than coincidental, especially since the contractor,
Leonard Charles and Associates was being pulled,
kicking and screaming, to agree to such a timetable.
Then the inevitable, perhaps forbidden, comment
was shouted out loud from one of the only two citizen
speakers present: “It is for others to conclude whether
or not this frenetic push for approval relates to possible
election changes forthcoming -- but it does beg
for scrutiny.” Other remarks were made but this particular
“heresy’’ seemed to touch a very sensitive
nerve among Board Supervisors Pinches,
Wattenburger, and Delbar. Their responses were polite
but certainly indignant -- but none as seemingly
heartfelt as the wounded indignation of Mr.
Wattenburger.
This writer’s response to this gentleman is the following:
First, public servants are too often under
appreciated, overworked and subject to unfair analysis.
That said, another unfortunate reality is that
power placed into the hands of 5 people for a matter
as profoundly important as the air we breathe and the
water we drink over the next 100 years should be
closely scrutinized.
In my opinion, we don’t need this expansion.
Industry analysts have stated this County already has
enough asphalt plants as they are currently operating
at only about 25 percent of capacity. It has been suggested
that such a plant, if approved, might be able to
export their product by railroad, via the Petaluma
ports, from Mendocino to the rapidly developing
Counties of Marin, Sonoma, and Napa whose leadership
might prohibit or discourage such polluting
industry in their own back yard. This would effectively
render Mendocino County a dumping grounds, (air
and water) while the owners enjoy riches and retirement
elsewhere. If this doesn’t get you angry, its time
to check the pulse.

Save coin with do it yourself projects
Consumer reports✔
By the Editors of Consumer
Reports
Is it really necessary to pay
$95 an hour every time a
drain gets clogged or $150 to
have someone hook up a TV?
Does installing software
require a $129 visit from a
computer technician? The
editors of Consumer Reports
Money Adviser say that it
might be a good idea to learn
how to handle tasks like these
without calling in a professional.
According to CRMA, there
are more resources than ever,
many of them online, to help
people do anything, whether
it’s grooming the dog or
changing the car’s air filter.
Not only can it save money; it
also provides the satisfaction
that comes from doing the
job. And if someone decides
to call in an expert, knowing
how a job is done can make
for a smarter consumer.
WHERE TO LOOK
• Take a course.
Community centers, colleges,
libraries and other local organizations
offer adult-education
courses free or at low
cost.
• Check out a manual.
Sometime it’s possible to
learn how to fix a product by
reading the instructions that
came with it. For example, a
vehicle’s owner’s manual
probably explains how to
check the oil and other fluids
and replace fuses.
Manufacturers often prepare

DEAR BRUCE: My mother has
Alzheimer’s disease. There are several
life-insurance policies that she took out
years ago, but with her diminished memory
loss, she can’t help locate them. We
want to make sure that the policies are
current. Is there any way to glean this
information from the state (or anywhere
else)? Unfortunately, we don’t live in the
same state, so we don’t have access to her
files -- M.S., Exton, Pa.
DEAR M.S.: I know of no state
depository that could provide this information.
You are going to have to travel to
her house and search through her records.
With her diminished capacity, even if her
record keeping is less than thorough,
hopefully she kept up with the payments.
In the absence of that, the only other
place to look is the escheat division in her
state. It may well be that the policy was
considered abandoned and turned over to
the state for its use. If you can prove your
right to the monies, the original balances
will be turned over to you.
DEAR BRUCE: I have a neighbor
that has been exceptionally kind to me
over the years. There is no reason to go
uals for specific models. And
there are many aftermarket
publications, some of which
are at the library.
• Try a Web search.
Consumer Reports Money
Adviser’s editors typed
“replacing a faucet” into
Google and found many useful
resources, including the
Web site of the homeimprovement
retailer Lowe’s
(www.lowes.com). Also try
searching with and without
the words “do it yourself.”
• Use forums. Participants
can be very knowledgeable
and helpful. Pros are often
eager to give advice. And if
someone gives bad advice,
someone else will probably
come along to correct the
error, especially on popular
groups. Find forums on do-ityourself
and specialty Web
sites devoted to the subjects
being researched, such as
automobiles, computers or
home improvement.
A major resource is
Usenet, with thousands of
newsgroups devoted to many
subjects. On alt.home.repair,
users discuss repair and maintenance
projects. On rec.bicycles.tech,
visitors talk about
bike repair. Access newsgroups
by going to
www.groups.google.com or
www.groups.yahoo.com. It’s
also possible to participate in
Usenet newsgroups using the
newsreader program in applications
such as Microsoft
Outlook Express.
CAN YOU DO IT?
Using online sources may
require registering with an email
address, especially for
participating in user forums.
It’s generally best to use a disposable
e-mail address like a
free one from Google
(www.mail.google.com)
because the address will probably
get a lot of solicitations.
And many online do-it-yourself
sites are supported by
advertising, so be prepared for
the marketing pitches.
Gather as many do-it-yourself
resources as possible for
each project, and compare
steps, photos, illustrations and
other details. Users should
review the procedures to
determine whether the project
matches their experience, time
and patience. Finally, be sure
to have the right tools, and
check out safety precautions,
especially if working around
electricity or machinery.
Anyone who reaches a
roadblock in the project can
ask for advice on a forum. But
people shouldn’t be shy about
turning to a pro if they find
themselves in over their head.

to leave money to anyone outside of your
spouse if the spouse is still living. Can
this be true? -- Reader, via e-mail

further from the truth. In most states, you
are obliged to leave at least one-third of
your assets to your spouse, but what you
do with the rest is entirely up to you. If
you want to leave one-third to your pet
sitter or hairdresser or a kind friend, you
can. Again, it is important to have a competent
attorney draw up the will in conformance
with state laws, reflecting your
wishes.

Seven steps to take in times of turmoil
Patience and confidence are the order
of the day as we ride out the current economic
turmoil. Now is not the time to be
sitting on the sidelines with all your
investment funds stagnating in a bank
account. If you want to be well-positioned
when recovery comes -- and it will
come, although I can’t say when and neither
can anyone else -- you need to be a
long-term investor whose portfolio is
widely diversified. But what else can you
do while waiting for recovery? After all,
opening up your account statements and
groaning isn’t really “doing something.”
Here are seven action steps you should
take today:
1) Be prepared for money emergencies.
Eliminate credit card debt and build
substantial cash reserves to get you
through unexpected job loss, health
issues or other family concerns. I recommend
that you have six to 12 months
worth of spending saved up and held in a
safe, liquid account like a bank checking
or savings account.
And remember, a home equity line of
credit is no substitute for cash reserves.
With housing prices falling and the government
tightening lending standards,
banks across the country are freezing,
reducing or eliminating previously
approved home equity lines of credit
(HELOC). So just because you already
have a HELOC in place doesn’t mean it
will be available when you need it.
2) Make sure you’ve provided for your
family. This means owning the proper
amount and type of insurance -- life,
health, long-term care, disability, auto,
home and liability. Insurance protects us
from the adverse economic impact
caused by a loss. We can’t often predict
when or how a loss can come, but we can
plan for the possibility.
3) Start or continue contributions to
your retirement plan at work. Invest in a
highly diversified manner, and avoid the
stock of your employer -- advice employees
at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mae, AIG,
Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns now
wish they had followed. Even though
stock prices are down now, history tells
us that they will eventually rise. Consider
the current slump as an opportunity to
buy “on sale.”
4) Get a big mortgage. Interest rates
are declining -- a happy side effect of
economic weakness -- so now’s the time
to convert home equity into a liquid
resource. Having your home paid for
doesn’t mean you’ll be able to pay for
food, medical bills or utilities if you lose
your job. A mortgage allows you to take
the cash out of your home before you
need it so you’ll be better able to handle
a crisis if it strikes.
5) Preserve your legacy. Update your
Illness induces insurance inquiries

BY BRUCE WILLIAMS
estate planning, and make sure your will,
trust and other legal documents are current
and complete.
6) Stay in touch. Get a good adviser
and keep him or her informed about how
you’re doing, and check in whenever you
face an unusual financial situation.
7) Be realistic. Although we have
many good reasons to be highly optimistic,
there’s no denying that our nation
faces serious problems. Aside from the
financial uncertainties of the moment,
there’s the war, along with threats of terrorism,
bird flu and global warming.
Fortunately, there’s an even longer list of
favorable developments, including innovations
in medicine and health care,
peace throughout much of the world,
major advances in science and technology,
adoption of the free-market system by
nations worldwide, and new, focused
attention on the aforementioned problems.
Attention leads to proposed solutions
which leads to positive resolution -no
one ever gets hit by a bus they see
coming.
Still, the road from here to there can be
slow and choppy, with unexpected turns.
Be realistic and, as stated earlier, be
patient and confident.

you can get them online or at office-supply
stores. I certainly can afford an attorney,
but why spend the extra money
unnecessarily? I’ve heard this is just as
good as having an attorney prepare the
will for you. -- I.P., via e-mail
DEAR I.P.: I have said it hundreds of
times and STILL people want to cut corners
on their wills. I’ll continue to say it:
The will kit is something to be avoided at
all costs. Very possibly, if you use one of
these kits, your will would be valid --
BUT what happens when it’s not?
Obviously, you are not around to clarify
your wishes. All of your hard work over
the years creating these assets would be
in question. Doesn’t it make sense to
spend a couple hundred dollars to make
sure that your wishes are properly administered?

Putting a lid on it
DEAR SARA: How do you arrange in drawers those
many plastic containers and lids? They take up so much room
and are hard to “match” up when you need them. -- Vickie E.,
New York
DEAR VICKIE E.: I don’t have a good solution for organizing
lids in drawers. A drawer is a solution more than a
problem for me. Some of mine are stored in a deep cabinet
drawer that’s located under my wall oven. I keep cookware
lids that I don’t use as often inside of my giant stockpot. I do
have some additional suggestions for lids that might otherwise
be shoved into cabinets.
• Place a dish rack in your cabinet and simply place lids
standing up to have easy access to them.
• Use a tension rod, place it from front to back in the cabinet,
and tuck lids between the rod and the wall of the cabinet.
• You can hang a towel rack and slide cookware lids
behind it if your lids have large enough handles, so they don’t
slip through.
Thinner plastic lids can go directly on their containers, or
you can organize them vertically in a magazine rack or mail
sorter. You can make a magazine rack from a large cereal box
by cutting it on a diagonal on both sides and sort lids by size.
As for the plastic containers, I nest some of them and stack
the others. Square and rectangle containers are much easier
to organize.
DEAR SARA: What do you consider the most durable,
cleanable and reasonably priced fabric for sofas and chairs
for a family-room setting? I’ve had beige leather, which is
almost impossible to clean, and rough fabrics that pill after a
few years. Thanks. -- Carol, e-mail
DEAR CAROL: I have four kids under the age of 9. Our
couch and love seat are olive green in color and ribbed chenille
fabric. We’ve had the set for just shy of eight years, and
it’s just starting to show a little wear on one cushion cover.
This is after years of sticky fingers, spilled drinks, climbing,
lounging, accidents, illness and pets, etc. Read: heavy use.
Each cushion has a cover that unzips and can be washed. I
steam cleaned the rest on a regular basis. Others might disagree
with choosing this fabric, but I’m surprised at how well
it has held up. I plan to use slipcovers and then reupholster
later. The brand we bought was Broyhill. I’d buy this type of
fabric again, with microfiber or washed denim slipcovers.
DEAR SARA: I saw an ad at freecycle.org. Here it is: “I
cleaned out a friend’s pantry, and have about 12 plastic shopping
bags of food: cans, boxes, jars and most of it is outdated,
up to two years expired, but none of it is in bad condition.
There are beans, soups, pasta, sauces, baking and some specialty
items, but nothing really weird. If you can take it all
and are willing to try most of it or pass it on, please reply.” I
am tempted, but do not want to make my family sick. Would
this food be OK? -- Janis, Maine
DEAR JANIS: The ad makes me wonder why they aren’t
taking the food if it’s any good. Expiration dates on food are
different than sell by, best before and various other dates. An
expiration date is just that. It’s considered spoiled after that
date. Of course, many people consume it anyway, but I don’t
suggest it unless you want to risk food poisoning. Going by
the types of products the ad mentions, it seems most would
have best-before dates. Best-before dates mean that the product’s
best quality, flavor and nutrients is before the stated
date, but isn’t immediately spoiled after the date. It’s a quality
issue. Your safety isn’t at risk. Simply check for bulging
or dented cans, and inspect the remaining food packaging.
You have to use your own judgment on whether you feel
comfortable eating it. But nothing is lost by picking it up,
since it’s free.

SUNDAY VOICES ON THE STREETS
Beyond the Pale
Dear Sarah Palin,
With the election only a couple of days
away, I wanted to clarify some questions I
have about your qualifications for office
and your views on some key issues. Some
of the stuff I have been reading in newspapers
and seeing on the Internet have not
been making sense, so I am hoping that
you can clear some of this up for me.
First, I understand you were elected in
1992 to the city council of Wasilla, population
6,300. That is less than half the population
of Ukiah (where I live) and I was
wondering if you thought that qualified
you to be second in command of the most
powerful country in the world with a population
of over 300 million? In my mind,
that makes Phil Baldwin, our local longterm
city council member, more qualified
than you.
Then, in 1996, right after you were
elected mayor I heard you asked many of
the people who worked for you to submit
their resumes to determine if they supported
you, and you told them not to talk to
reporters without your permission. That
seems a little controlling, don’t you think?
During your second term of office as
mayor of that thriving metropolis, you
proposed a sports center and financed it
with a 0.05 percent sales tax. Due to an
oversight on your part the final tab came to
an additional $1.3 million and through
voter-approved indebtedness for the sports
complex and other projects the city debt
increased from $1 million to $25 million.
That would be right in line with the way
your Republican colleague, George W.
Bush, has governed our country for the
last 8 years. By the way, what do you propose
the government do to alleviate that
$10 trillion debt with which he has encumbered
us?
I am also concerned about your expertise
in dealing with foreign affairs. I ran
across this excerpt of an interview that you
had with Katie Couric.
Couric: “You’ve cited Alaska’s proximity
to Russia as part of your foreign policy
experience. What did you mean?”
Palin: “They are our next door neighbors
and you can actually see Russian land
from here in Alaska.” That really seems
like a no-brainer.
To elaborate on your expertise you
were quoted as saying the following.
“As Putin rears his head and comes into
the airspace of the U. S.A., where do they
go? It’s Alaska.” Now, that just doesn’t
make any sense to me. What were you trying
to say?
I am also pretty worried about your
world-view as determined by your travel
outside the U. S. There are some pretty
difficult situations in Iraq, Iran,
Afghanistan, the Middle East, just to name
a few, and you just got your passport for
the first time last year and have made only
one trip outside our borders. Do you think
that makes you sufficiently worldly to par-
MORE LETTERS
County deserves better
To the Editor:
This year, I was arrested by the

Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was convicted
this week on something like corruption charges
for accepting more than $250,000 in renovations
on his vacation home. That’s “something
like” corruption charges because he was not
actually accused of taking a bribe or doing
someone a favor -- it was more like “failure to
fill out the proper financial disclosure forms”
or some such.
Republican presidential candidate John
McCain, to his credit, has called for Stevens to
resign from his seat and abandon his campaign,
but Stevens is having none of that. And so, Sen.
Stevens is still on the ballot next week, seeking
to be reelected to something like his 43rd consecutive
term as a U.S. Senator from Alaska -and
it’s a close call whether, felony conviction
or not, Alaskans will vote Stevens out.
Now, there hasn’t been a Democrat elected
to Congress from Alaska since Mike Gravel,
whom some folks might remember as a whitehaired,
wizened fellow who ran a shoe-string
campaign last year to become the Democratic
nominee for president. It was most noteworthy
for releasing some peculiar campaign videos.
(In one, Gravel stares into the camera at close
range for about ten minutes, then walks slowly
away from the camera along a lake shore,
pausing to heave a big rock into the water.)

lay with world leaders like Kohler,
Sarkozy, Peres, Calderon and Medvedev?
You can check Wikipedia to see which
countries those guys govern.
This next issue really has me puzzled
about your ethics. Is it true that when you
were elected governor of Alaska in 2006 -
a state with a population less than the city
of San Francisco - you got so mad at your
sister’s ex husband, Mike Wooten, that
you tried to get Walter Monegan, Alaska’s
then Public Safety Officer, to fire him?
And that you made up stories about what
your ex brother-in-law did to your father
to further get him fired? That seems kind
of unfair to use your position of power to
get at an ex. And then when Walter
Monegan refused to do your bidding, you
fired him? That could be pretty messy if
you did that kind of stuff with members of
Congress. Then the Alaskan Legislative
Council found you guilty of misusing your
power of your office, and you further
denied it. I hope some of this is just not
true.
In another interview with you, Katie
Couric was asking you to be specific in
your claim that John McCain will reform
the way Wall Street does business. She
had to keep asking you because you just
kept talking about other things, and when
for the last time she asked for specifics,
you said, and I quote, “I'll try to find you
some and I'll bring them to you.” That
kind of sounds to me again like you don’t
know what you’re talking about. Or were
you just being cagey?
However, the interview that has me the
most concerned is this one.
Couric: “When it comes to establishing
your world-view, what magazines and
newspapers did you read regularly before
being tapped for this position to stay
informed and understand the world?”
Palin: “I have read most of them again
with a great appreciation for the press and
the media.”
Couric: “Like what ones specifically, I
am curious…”
Palin: “All of them, any of them that
have been in front of me all these years.”
Couric: “Can you name a few…”
Palin: “I have a vast variety of where
we get our news to….”
It sounds like you have little familiarity
with any print media, not even the Mat-Su
Daily Frontiersmen. Oh, that’s your local
Wasilla paper.
Back to ethics, it has been reported that
you charged the state of Alaska for your
children to travel with you. There have
been round trips to see your husband in a
snowmobile race and a stay in New York
to do, not personal agendas to fulfill.

Elections matter
To the Editor:
If you are in the middle class, there
was a big difference for you between the
Clinton Democratic administration and
the Bush Republican administration. The
middle class does better economically
under Democratic administrations. The
difference comes from a priority of
enhancing the income of the middle
class and the degree of government
involvement in the economy.
As a measure of what your own personal
income might have been, I used
the median household income. That is
the point where half the people make
more and half make less. A household
combines all the people living in that

Judicial follies
BY FRANK ZOTTER
Gravel, who is nearly 80, was still a darkhaired
young man when last he was in the
Senate.
Because of Alaskan antipathy to electing
anything like a Democrat to Congress, however,
Stevens might still eke out a win next
Tuesday, which would be a bit of an embarrassment.
He won’t legally be able to vote for
himself, own a firearm, or be licensed for a lot
of professions -- but he can still serve in the
United States Senate! The only recourse
against him would be that his fellow senators,
by a two-thirds margin, can vote to expel him
from that august body.
If they do, there’s an interesting quirk in
Alaska’s law. The State’s Governor -- none
other than current vice-presidential candidate
Sarah Palin -- can then appoint Stevens’ interim
replacement, after which Alaska law provides
for a special election 90 days later.
There’s already speculation that if Gov. Palin
at luxury hotels. In all you have charged
the people of Alaska over $21,000 since
December of 2006. I hope you will not do
that if elected, because I am not willing to
pay for your kid’s trips. I would rather use
the money to take my own family on a
vacation. It seems with your salary that
you could afford to pay for such things on
your own or just stay home if you can’t
afford it.
For some unknown reason you have
been calling Obama a terrorist. I am wondering
if that is just a simple oversight on
your part and you are getting him confused
with Osama. It is just one letter difference,
so that might explain such
uncalled for defamation of character in a
presidential election for the United States
of America.
Just a few more questions, Sarah, I
hope you are still with me. (By the way, I
really like the name Sarah because it was
my mother’s name and it is my granddaughter’s
middle name. They even spell
it with an h at the end!)
Recently you have been breaking with
your running mate’s platform and there is
talk that you are thinking of making a run
for president in 2012—only if you don’t
make it this time, of course. One of the big
issues is abortion and that you said even if
your daughter was raped, it would not be
legal for her to have an abortion. Ouch.
And just funding abstinence only programs
and eliminating sex education
seems like stepping back into the Dark
Ages. According to the National
Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy,
abstinence only programs do not reduce
sexual activity, teen pregnancy or STD’s.
You know that every day 10,000 U.S.
teens contract a sexually transmitted disease
and even Republicans can get pregnant.
Although McCain feels that a constitutional
ban on gay marriage goes against
the core philosophy of Republicans, you
support it. I don’t know what kind of a
team player that makes you.
Just one final question. Are you a feminist
or not? On September 30 you told
Katie Couric you were, but on October 23
you told Brian Williams you were not
going to label yourself. You can’t have it
both ways and that kind of flip-flopping
could be serious when dealing with
whether or not to blow Afghanistan off the
map.
Well that’s it for now. I hope you can
get back to me in time before the election,
but since you have been reading so many
newspapers, I doubt you would have the
time to read this particular issue of the
Ukiah Daily Journal.
Looking forward to seeing you back in
Alaska,

household, husband, wife, etc. The chart
from the U.S. Census office has these
figures adjusted for inflation so this
measures your ability to buy real things.
In one year, 2004, during the time
President Bush was in office, the income
was down $1,892 from what it was the
last year of the Clinton administration.
From the end of 2000 when Bush came
to office until the end of 2007, the
income was down, on average, about
$1,000 per year. For his 8 years in
office, it cost us $8,000 in income.
From the beginning to the end of the
Clinton administration, income
increased on average, about $3,000 per
year. For 8 years, that is an additional
$24,000 in your pocket.

herself is defeated for vice-president on
Tuesday, she might appoint herself to the
Senate if Stevens gets reelected but is then
expelled from that body.
It certainly would be a tempting move; if
nothing else, Palin has made it clear that she
wants to be a political force in years to come.
Unlike going back to the obscurity of governing
a state of only 600,000 people nearly 1,000
miles from the rest of the U.S., a Senate seat
would provide her with both ongoing national
press coverage and a chance to brush up on that
national policy stuff she seemed to lack during
many of her encounters with reporters.
Of course, appointing yourself to a different
office does raise some awkward problems. Do
you call yourself up and thank yourself? Do
you assure the governor who appointed you
that she’s picked the right person for the job?
Do you promise yourself that you’ll do everything
in your power to be the kind of senator
who’ll make the person who appointed you
proud?
But while appointing herself to the Senate
might be a “maverick-y” move, Gov. Palin
should take a lesson from, ironically, another
vice-presidential pick a generation ago. In
1976, Jimmy Carter chose Minnesota Sen.
Walter Mondale as his running mate. Mondale

resigned from the Senate.
Minnesota’s governor, Wendell Anderson,
decided that he, too, would like to get out of
state politics in a cold, northern climate and
make the leap to national politics as Mondale’s
successor. So Anderson cut a deal with the
lieutenant governor, a fellow named Rudy
Perpich, to appoint Anderson to the Senate as
soon as Anderson resigned to make Perpich the
governor.
The voters of Minnesota thought so highly
of this arrangement that, two years later when
Anderson was up for election to a full term in
the Senate, they not only voted out Anderson,
but also voted out former Lt. Gov. Perpich,
who had happily moved up to the governorship
in exchange for appointing his predecessor to
the Senate. So, by taking the “golden opportunity”
to appoint himself to higher office,
Wendell Anderson instead effectively ended
his political career.
And if the dominos fall in the right way to
allow Gov. Palin to appoint herself, she should
think long and hard about appointing herself to
the Senate -- and study the case of Wendell
Anderson -- especially because she’ll have to
face another election only 90 days later.

Wildcats rebound, defeat the Pumas 28-14
By RUSS TOW
For the Daily Journal
All week doubting
Wildcat fans wondered how
the ‘Cats would respond
after their last-minute devastating
loss to Rancho Cotate.
Would they be looking ahead
to Cardinal Newman? Would
they overlook the muchimproved
Maria Carrillo,
whom they crushed last year
on the Pumas’ home field.
Would the weather hold or
turn the field into a quagmire,
slowing down the ‘Cats
offense.
Those questions and more
were quickly answered in the
first quarter. Under a stormleaden
sky, Gabe Ott
returned the opening kickoff
to the ‘Cat 21-yard line.
Quarterback Kyle Morris,
with absolutely no pressure,
completed a quick pass to Ott
to the 31. Following a
Marcos Hernandez run to the
Puma 40-yard line, Morris
scampered to the 36. On a
third and six, Morris hooked
up with receiver Brett
Furman to the 26. Moments
later, again with ample time,
Morris fired one of his perfectly-thrown,
tight spirals to
receiver Kyle Mayfield for
the touchdown. With 8:41
left in the first quarter, the
doubters had their answer.
The point after was no good,
leaving the score 6-0,
Wildcats.
The Pumas returned the
ensuing kickoff to their 23
where Cody Allen and Zack
Jackson made the stop. After
an initial first down, the
Pumas were stopped by a big
defensive plays by Garrett
Edwards, Allen, and Scot
Cokely. Facing a fourth and
one on their own 44, the
Pumas elected to punt, much
to the relief of the ‘Cat fans
and coaches.
Ukiah, after a procedure
penalty, faced a first and 15
from their own 15-yard line.
A middle-screen to Mayfield
brought the ball to the 28.
After a no gain, facing a third
and two, Morris hit receiver
Chris Fraser who bowled
over defenders out to the
Ukiah 42. Successive
Hernandez runs took the ball
to the Puma 15. Then on a
fourth-and-one at the Puma
four, Morris snuck for a first
down. Shortly after,
Hernandez burst over the
goal line with 2:16 left in the
first quarter. Again, the pointafter
kick was missed, making
the score 12-0, Ukiah.
Once again the Wildcat
defense rose to the occasion
on the Pumas’ next possession.
After an incomplete
pass, Edwards and Larry
Pinnegar made a stop. A
third-and-seven pass completion
was stopped short of a
first down by John
Escamilla.
With 45 seconds left in the
first quarter, Ukiah took over
on their own 40. a Morris to
Mayfield pass netted 43
yards to the 17. A run by
Hernandez gained two yards.
On second down, Morris
dropped back. His offensive
line of Edwards, Johnathon
Dewey, Robert Vargas, Brett
Bowers and Austin Head
gave him time to look for his
second and third options.
Morris responded connecting
with Mayfield for a 15-yard
pass. Hernandez bulled his
way in for the 2-point conversion,
increasing his the
‘Cat lead to 20-0. Mayfield
increased his total of touchdown
receptions six in the
last five-plus quarters.
Maria Carrillo returned
the kick to their 39. A pass
completion and four running
plays took the ball to the
‘Cats two-yard line, where
the defense stiffened. Colton
Thompson, putting heavy
pressure on the quarterback,
was blocked illegally, moving
the line of scrimmage
back to the 24. On fourth
down, the Puma pass into the
end zone was batted away.
The ‘Cats offensive
assault continued as they
moved from their own 24 to
the 40. From there,
Hernandez, following excellent
blocking, ran for an
apparent 60-yard touchdown,
only to see it called back by a
penalty. Three incomplete
passes later, the ‘Cats punted
to the Pumas who took over
with 7:05 left in the half.
As the rain started to fall,
the Pumas, mixing the run
and the short passing game,
marched downfield and
scored with 5:07 left in the
half. The score was 20-7,
Wildcats.
Ott returned the kickoff to
the 37. On third down, under
heavy pressure, Morris rolled
left and hit Brett Furman for
a first down as Morris was
taking a big hit, flying out of
bounds. Using great clock
management, the ‘Cats continued
moving downfield.

On Halloween night, the Ukiah JV football team
continued their march toward an undefeated season
with a convincing 33-7 win over the host Maria
Carrillo Pumas. The win set up a match of two undefeated
teams next Friday when the Wildcats travel to
play the undefeated Cardinal Newman JVs.
Defense dominate much of Friday night’s first half.
Wildcat Drake Stacey opened the scoring with a 75yard
interception return for a touchdown. Anthony
Butler kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead. Vinnie
Hyler increased the lead with a 29-yard run for a
touchdown. Butler kicked the extra point to make the
score 14-0. The Puma’s only score of the game came
in the first half when they returned an interception 71
yards for a touchdown and an extra point. At the half,
the Wildcats led 14-7.
In the first half, Aric Cordell had six tackles and
two assists. Drake Stacy contributed three tackles, an
interception for a touchdown, two assists and a sack.
The ‘Cats dominated the third quarter, highlighted
by a Cody Goss 25-yard touchdown run. Butler added
the extra point for a 21-7 lead.
File photo Sarah Baldik/The Daily Journal
Wildcat Marcos Hernandez, shown here running with the ball in a game earlier this season, had a big game
Friday night, running for 174 yards on 18 carries. His running helped the Wildcats control the ball in their
28-14 victory over the Maria Carrillo Pumas.
‘It got a little ugly with the touchdown
called back and the interception,
but we regained control, A win is
a win. At 7-1 we’re in the playoff hunt.’
Ukiah head coach CHRIS BURRIS
With 2:33 left in the half,
Morris connected with Ott to
the Puma 27. The visitors
could feel momentum building,
only to have Maria
Carrillo intercept a pass deep
in their own territory on the
next play.
With the Puma fans sensing
a huge change in momentum,
the Pumas took over
with two minutes left in the
half. A big third-down stop
by Edwards left the Pumas
with a fourth-and-five on
their own 30-yard line.
Faking a punt, the Carrillo
ran and made the first down
by inches. With 51.8 seconds
remaining, the Pumas took a
timeout. They almost made
the most of that scant amount
of time, running nine more
plays. As time expired an
attempted 43-yard field goal
was blocked by Junior Villa.
For the half, Edwards,
Cokely and Ronnie Green
each had four tackles. On
offense, Morris completed
ten of 16 passes for 167
yards. Hernandez carried
nine times for a hard-fought
92 yards. Mayfield caught
four balls for 100 yards.
Trailing 20-7 beginning
the third quarter, the Pumas
were quickly stymied by big
defensive plays by Pinnegar
and Hernandez.
Ukiah’s first drive of the
Midway through the fourth quarter, Cody Goss
hooked up with Hyler 31 yards to the Puma 31. A
Goss to Stacy completion brought the ball to the 21.
Three successive running plays ended with Ben
Brooks muscling his way into the end zone with the
help of his offensive line that included Trevor Morris,
Guyo Bullshields, Brian Zuniga, Kyle Cummings and
Will Laster. Butler missed the extra point attempt,
leaving the ‘Cats with a 27-7 lead with seven minutes
left in the game.
With three minutes left. Cordell finished the scoring
with a 27-yard run increasing the lead to 33-7.
Defensively, Cordell finished the game with seven
tackles and four assists along with two carries for 37yards.
Brandon Delapo added four tackles and five
assists. On offense, Goss ran for 54 yards on only four
carries. Walking off the field, he paid credit to his
teammates saying, “My offensive line dominated.”
Coach Mike Hyler, leaving the field, was all
smiles, applauding his players saying, “ Everyone
contributed. It was our most complete game of the
year. Players stepped up with injuries to some starters.
Our defense was relentless.”
The JVs end their road season next week, 5 p.m,
second half started on their
on 32-yard line. Exhibiting a
powerful running game, controlling
the clock and the line
of scrimmage, highlighted by
six running plays by
Hernandez, breaking numerous
tackles, the ‘Cats scored
on a one-yard dive by
Hernandez who also added
the two-point conversion.
Ukiah’s lead increased to 28-
7 with 7:43 left in the third
period.
The teams changed possessions
entering the fourth
quarter. Midway through the
fourth quarter, Maria Carrillo
went on a 68-yard touchdown
drive to cut the
Wildcats’ lead to 28-14.
Ukiah then went on a long
drive, burning up valuable
clock time, only to turn the
ball over on downs deep in
Puma territory.
Until the final gun,
Ukiah’s defense continued to
make big stops. On successive
Puma drives, Fraser and
Escamilla made drive-altering
tackles.
For the game Hernandez
ran for 174 yards on 18 carries.
Fraser added 43 yards
on five carries. Morris completed
sixteen of twenty-four
passes for 237 yards. Ott had
five catches for 81 yards.
Furman caught four balls for
twenty-eight yards. Mayfield
had four catches for 100
yards and two touchdowns.
On defense, Cody Allen
had seven tackles and three
assists. Fraser had seven
tackles, two batted balls, a
blocked field goal, an interception.
Cokely had five
tackles, seven assists and on
sack. Edwards had six tackles
and six assists.
A muddied, jubilant Fraser
summed up the game saying,
“I was a little concerned
about this game. But in the
first quarter everyone was up
on the sideline. we jumped
on them quick and put them
on their heels!”
Offensive coordinator
Craig Morris confided after
the game, “We thought we
could run. The offensive line
was dominating. Marcos had
a great game.” He added,
“Their safeties play wide. We
were able to utilize Mayfield
also.”
Head Coach Chris Burris
added, “It got a little ugly
with the touchdown called
back and the interception, but
we regained control., A win
is a win. At 7-1 we’re in the
playoff hunt.”
Center Dewey shared his
perspective saying, “We
rebound. If the other team
gets a turnover, we create a
turnover. They make a big
play, we come back and
make a play. We’re a team.”
Slowly walking off the
field, injured receiver Matt
Gang may have summed it
up best saying, “We may not
have the best athletes or the
biggest. But we’ve got
incredible heart & desire.”
Next Friday, at 7 p.m. the
‘Cats finish their road season
at perennial powerhouse
Cardinal Newman.
Undefeated Wildcat JVs roll, defeat the Pumas
with a big game againt Cardinal Newman. The
Cardinal Newman JV football team may present the
Wilcats whith their biggest challenge of the year. As
good as the Cardinal Newman varsity is, their JV
progam is usually also very strong.
As mentioned the Newman JVs are also undefeated
going into the game.
Aside from drawing the usual quality players into
the program, the coaching staff attempts to instill the
Cardinal Newman winning tradition with the players
at the lower levels, including their junior varsity and
freshmen football teams. Cardinal Newman teams are
well-coached at all levels including the junior varsity
teams. The Wildcats can expect that the Cardinal
Newman players well be well-disciplined in the execution
of their plays on offense and sticking to their
assignments on the defensive-side of the ball.
Newman teams have skilled athletes at key positions
such as quarterback and running back.. The are
likely to have speed and quickness. This game will be
a real test for the Ukiah Wildcat JVs.

On Saturday night, the
Potter Valley Bearcats hosted
the Calistoga Wildcats at
always-beautiful Fred Austin
Field for a Homecoming
Night twin bill, varsity and JV
football games, plus betweengame
Homecoming festivities
featuring the crowning of the
Homecoming King and
Queen.
The evening began with the
JV game, featuring the undefeated
Bearcat JVs who came
into the game sporting a 7-0-1
record. Early on, the Bearcats
took command of the game,
pinning the Wildcats back
near their end zone. On a
fourth and ten, the Calistoga
punter got off a poor kick,
resulting in Potter Valley taking
possession on the Wildcat
ten-yard line. Shortly thereafter,
running back Kyle
Epley took the ball into the
end zone for the Bearcats’ first
score. Adam Kile ran for the
two-point conversion, making
the score 8-0.
On Calistoga’s next possession
they fumbled on their
own five-yard line. Moments
later, Kile ran for the score.
The two-point conversion was
good, making the score 16-0,
Bearcats.
The Potter Valley defense
continued to clamp down on
Calistoga offense, shutting
them out into the second quarter.
Toward the end of the first
half, the Bearcat drove deep
into Wildcat territory. A couple
of penalties created a
fourth and goal situation from
the Calistoga 27-yard line.
The play call was a pitch
sweep to Epley to the left side.
Picking up key blocks downfield
from QB Taylor Moore
and RB Kyle, Epley took the
ball all the way for Potter
Valley’s third score. The twopoint
conversion was good,
making the score 24-0 at halftime.
In the second half, Potter
Valley continued to hold down
the Calistoga offense, keeping
them scoreless into the fourth
quarter. In the meantime, the
Bearcats offense went to a
ball-control strategy, scoring
one more touchdown in the
second half, plus a one-point
PAT kick by Dustin Scott, to
give the Bearcats a 31-0 lead.
Late in the game, with
Potter Valley substituting
players, Calistoga scored a
late touchdown to avoid being
shut out. The final score was
31-6, Bearcats, improving

their record to 8-0-1. They
remained tied with Rincon
Valley for first place. Should
the Bearcat JVs grab a victory
in their next game on Friday,
they would be assured of no
less than a tie for the league
championship.
Between games, the
Homecoming ceremonies
were held with the royalty and
court being introduced to the
crowd. The Homecoming
King and Queen candidates
were Michael Moore and
Faith Floyd, Cody Shepard
and Lauren Johnson, Kevin
Corcoran and Alisha
Jaramillo, and Matthew
Moore and Dawny Lee. The
Homecoming Court Princess
and Escort pairs were, for the
Junior Class, Marissa Lawson
and Steven Giuntini, for the
Sophomores, Mariel Johnson
and Bryce Jacquet, and for the
Freshman, Emily Eddie and
Robbie Scroggin. At the end
of the introductions, the 2008
Homecoming King and Queen
crowns were bestowed upon
Matthew Moore and Dawny
Lee. It was then announced
that the Senior Class had won
the spirit award.
Following the
Homecoming festivities, the
second football game of the
evening was played, the
Bearcat varsity against the
Calistoga varsity. Eying the
teams as they warmed up
before the game, it was apparent
that the visiting Wildcats
had an advantage in both
number of players and size of
players. Overall, the Calistoga
players were larger and there
were more of them. Those
advantages are not any guarantee
of success, but often
they can influence the outcome
of a game in its latter
stages as the larger team with
more players could wear
down the other team.
Potter Valley returned the
opening kickoff out to good
field position at its own 45yard
line. On a fourth-andtwo,
Quarterback Micheal
Moore kept the ball on a run
that came up short of a first
down by about two inches at
the Calistoga 36-yard line.
But on Calistoga’s first play,
the snap was fumbled with
Bearcats recovering at the
Calistoga 42-yard line.
On first down, a long pass,
with a potential for a touchdown,
fell just out of reach of
the receiver. The Bearcats
were unable to advance the
ball after three more downs,
turning the ball over at the

Bearcats split Homecoming
games against Calistoga
Wildcat 36. Calistoga was
able to move the ball deep into
Bearcat territory, aided by a
non-fumble call ruled an
incomplete shovel pass. It had
appeared that the Bearcats had
recovered a fumble. After
working the ball down to the
Bearcat 5-yard line, a good
stand by the Calistoga defense
and a holding penalty forced
the Wildcats to settle for a 29yard
field goal, making the
score 3-0 in their favor.
On the ensuing kickoff,
once again. the Bearcats got a
great return out to their 40yard
line. On second down, a
Bearcat receiver broke into
the open, at least ten yards
from any defender. However,
the pass sailed just beyond his
reach. Had pass been completed,
it likely would have
gone for a Bearcat touchdown
. The Bearcats then had
to punt the ball away on fourth
down.
The Wildcats drove down
to the Potter Valley 26-yard
line, but fumbled with the
Wildcat’s recovering. After
both teams were unable to
move the ball, the Bearcats
put together a drive late in the
second quarter, reaching the
Calistoga five-yard line. Two
runs and an incomplete pass
left a fourth down. On fourth
down with 18 seconds left on
the clock, a pass was completed
but only to seven-yard line.
Calistoga took over and ran
out the clock.
At the start of the third
quarter, it looked like
Calistoga had scored on a 41yard
run, but it was wiped out
by a holding penalty.
Calistoga was subsequently
forced to punt, but a penalty
on the Bearcats while the ball
was in the air gave the ball
back to the Wildcats. They
moved down near the Potter
Valley goal, ultimately scoring
on an eight-yard run. The
PAT was good, upping the
Calistoga lead to 10-0 with
4:40 left in the third quarter.
Each team’s defense held
on the next two possessions.
On a Calistoga punt, Bearcat
returner Wyatt Mathews, who
did a great job all night on
kickoff and punt returns, as
well as runs from scrimmage,
brought the ball all the way
back to the Calistoga 25-yard
line. However, after moving
the ball to the 15, the drive
stalled, Potter Valley giving
the ball up on downs at 11:13
of the fourth quarter.

to use their advantage in size

ball downfield. On a first and
ten at the Potter Valley 48yard
line, a Wildcat ball carrier
broke a 48-yard run for a
touchdown with 9:40 left in
the game. The PAT was no
good leaving the score 16-0,
Calistoga.
Another good return by
Mathews gave the ball to the
Bearcats at their 45-yard line.
The Bearcats, not showing an
inch of quit, moved the ball to
the Calistoga 38-yard line.
Finally, a long pass from QB
Micheal Moore to Matthew
Moore connected for a 38yard
score. The try for a twopoint

For McCowen
To the Editor:
Mendocino County politics made us the most indebted
County per capita in California. Our politics are broken.
In 1996 the County of Mendocino’s total long term debt
was $76 million. Today it’s $315 million. Annual debt payments
grew from $3.5 million to $15 million. In 1996 debt
payments were 25 percent of the County’s portion of our property
taxes. Today they’re nearly 60 percent.
County Debt will extract one-half billion dollars from our
local economy over the next 25 years. Not one dime’s worth
of service or investment will come from that money - it’s
gone! County officials put the debt off as far into the future as
possible. They ran from core problems. They didn’t report
$250 million in true expenses and debt. They worried far more
about their next elections than about telling the people the
truth. They pounded on political “hot buttons” hoping the
noise would keep voters from noticing the debt. Way too
often, it worked.
John McCowen is the exact opposite.
I've watched John McCowen for years perform his duties
on the Ukiah City Council and as an alternate member of the
Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). No one in
local government works harder than John. He identifies the
hidden unspoken issues that everyone else avoids or doesn’t
see. John doesn't run away from the big problems - he confronts
them. And John has spent hundreds of hours communicating
the key issues facing local government to his constituents.
I admit I don’t know Estelle Palley Clifton. My impression
is positive and I hope she stays engaged in local politics, gains
experience, and continues to develop her capacity to serve in
positions of increasing public responsibility. But we are going
into a very hard time - and I believe John McCowen is tailormade
for this dangerous challenge.
I feel like I’m watching everyone walking around like it’s a
normal day, but I know a huge bomb is about to go off. I’m
afraid most people don’t realize how bad things are about to
get. Previous Supervisors avoided dealing with the causes of
this debt. Because they avoided their duty, the Debt is now
much harder to resolve - and much more painful.
John McCowen’s strengths are exactly what we need on the
Board of Supervisors in the next four years. John digs up the
problems others run from and hide. John works to find common
ground in the middle. John treats people with respect, but
he also holds people accountable to do their jobs. And of all
the public servants in our County, John works the hardest to
make sure the people hear what we need to know.
Because of who he is, John will become the Board’s leader
to finally confront our county’s debt. We need John on the
Board so that it will finally do its duty.

For Brown
To the Editor:
Much like many of our senior elected officials supervisor
Mike Delbar is riding the “Status Quo Wave.” What have you
done for us lately? I just don’t see it, and want to know.
Mendocino Co. is on the map... notoriously so for great
wine and tolerates dope growing. In one of Mike’s political
mailers one could be lead to believe that he was the sole
author of Measure B. I don’t think that’s so.
This county’s retirement plan is all messed up, and it did
not happen over night, but certainly within the last ten years.
How many CEOs has this county had in the last ten years?
I’m thinking as many as 6, and ask who is responsible for
recruiting the talent required to help run our county?
Seems like the BOS every couple of years hire a consulting
firm to assess our economic needs. I’m thinking that those
firms submit a report of their findings, that being the case
what is getting done to attract environmentally clean businesses,
and real paying jobs.
These are but a few items that require solid leadership at
the BOS and other levels, it’s just not there on a consistent
basis.
Let’s get it done with Carre Brown.
Michael Waskow
Ukiah
For Brown
To the Editor:
I am writing to encourage my fellow District 1 residents to
vote for Carre Brown. Carre is the best candidate based on her
knowledge, skills and reputation.
She has been a community leader for many years, her leadership
in the Farm Bureau, the participation in the Fair Board,
and her years of involvement in FFA are but a few of the skills
that make her the right choice for the Board of Supervisors.
Carre knows our county agriculture, business, water, and
social needs. She has a vast network of both County and State
level contacts, garnered during her many years of efforts on
behalf of our community, that will stand her in good stead as
she works to improve our county’s economic situation.
In addition to her strong background, she has the personal
skills to be an effective Supervisor. She is friendly, has an
open door policy, and is willing to hear all points of view.
Carre is measured in her decision-making taking every aspect
of the situation into consideration. With her positive personality
and can-do attitude she will be representing the whole of
the 1st District not merely a narrow band of special interests.
Carre will seek out all the information available to her and use
that knowledge to make mature decisions relevant to all areas
of the 1st District. For example, as a Redwood Valley resident,
I have noticed that the current Supervisor has all but ignored
the water needs of our Valley.
Finally, Carre has a character that is above reproach. We
will not see questionable e-mails and non-professional behavior
taking place during her workday. She will work collegially
with the other supervisors to solve problems. It is time for a
change in the First District and the one to provide that change
is Carre Brown. Vote for Carre!
Irma Turner
Redwood Valley
For Brown
To the Editor:
Our current Board of Supervisors needs a change. We need
leaders with energy, commitment and independence. We need
Carre Brown as our 1st District Supervisor. She has the qualities
our county needs. She knows how to listen, unite diverse
groups and work toward finding solutions that will benefit our
community.
She is the candidate that can solve the current, critical
issues facing our county such as services being cut when our
community needs them most, water supply issues, State and
County budget cuts, and a general planning process which has
ignored the needs of citizens while catering to the desires of
outside developers. We cannot allow the same old bureaucrats
to make decisions that will impact our future. Carre Brown
has the leadership to make a change.
I hope you will join me in voting for Carre Brown for 1st
District Supervisor.

on the issues. Every candidate that’s been seated or run has
participated in an interview process except Mr. Delbar.
This says only one thing to me. Mr. Delbar doesn’t value
the opinions of the employees enough to bother with responding.
I’ve also addressed the board on several occasions. It’s
during these interactions that I note a demeanor that indicates
the county’s most valuable asset, its employees, are viewed
with contempt and frustration, and responded to with sarcasm.
In short we can agree to disagree, no one expects to win
every battle or sway every opinion but shouldn’t being a
supervisor be about listening to the people in your community
without contempt?

To the Editor:
After watching the final presidential debate, I am completely
at a loss to understand how anyone with eyes to see and
ears to hear, could remain undecided, or worse yet, could still
choose to vote for McCain/Palin.
McCain’s absurd conceit of “Joe the plumber,” to which he
returned over and over, only tended to highlight, in my mind,
how dreadfully out of touch with the lives of average
Americans he is.
There are reasons why Obama is winning; he is bright and
competent, and he inspires other bright people to gather
around him and act competently on his behalf. He observes
and listens with a keen intelligence and acts with a wisdom
based on that rapid collection and digestion of information. He
is cool under pressure; when he first came under blistering
attack for the blabbering of his preacher, I feared that he
would wither under the pressure and toss his old friend immediately
under the bus. How impressed I was to hear him take
that occasion to lift us all to a higher level of discourse, taking
a broader view. Truly, of the two, this is the guy who I want
taking that 3 a.m. call!

taking me out of the jungle
that fourth day they found us
and he must have been young
because he must have been
60-ish and he was all ‘I
remember you. You were very
sick, very sick girl.’ And I
was.”
Diaz and her family, which
also included her sister
Brenda, her brother Dale, her
grandmother Edith and her
father, Gerald, followed Jones
from their former base in
Indianapolis to Ukiah in 1966,
when Tracy was 6 weeks old.
“I was born in Ohio,” she
said. “My father, I think he
said his first job was at
Masonite.”
Diaz said Jones wasn’t
always the monster others had
made him out to be in the
years since the incident.
“Everybody tells the story
different depending on what
news station is telling it,” she
said. “He was a good man in
the beginning. He was doing
good things for people, especially
blacks. People were
treating blacks pretty bad. He
would take them in and
promised them an education.”
Diaz said it was her mother
who was the devout member
of the church in her family.
“Jim Jones hated my dad,”
she said. “He knew because
Dad would not bow down like
everyone else did in the
church. My mom I think had a
lot more fear than we even
anticipated because my dad
wouldn’t go to the meetings
and she would take my sister
and I out there…My sister
was six years older than me
and all the way there she
would be crying and begging
us to not take us and drop us
off at these meetings and her
and dad would always have to
work. So, they got us out of
some of them, but not all of
them.”
Diaz said she had doubts
about the group and especially
Jones, who was purported to
have God-like powers, from a
young age.
“I remember not liking it at
6 and 7 years old,” she said.
“That’s when I started thinking
‘why are we doing this?’ I
do know that once the beatings
started happening I
would sit there and look at the
adults and think ‘you people
can’t think this is OK.’ But in
this era you don’t talk back to
your parents…That was a different
day and age. The weird
thing is, even as a child I knew
he wasn’t God, but I thought
he was a part of God. I think
he got power hungry.”
As public scrutiny mounted,
Jones and his followers,
including the Parks family,
moved from their Northern
California base to a newly
constructed settlement in
South America dubbed the
“Peoples Temple Agricultural
Project” in 1978.
“It turned out to be hell on
earth,” she said. “Once we
were there it just finally sunk
in and I said ‘oh my God, I’m
going to die here.’ We couldn’t
really get caught talking to
each other. Because they knew
if you did that you would be
planning something.”
Diaz said that although the
intentional community was
advertised as a self-sustainable
jungle paradise, that
couldn’t have been further
Medical Marijuana Evaluations
from the truth.
“My breakfast consisted of
rice and milk with bugs in it,”
she said. “And I joke today
that that’s how I got my protein.
We were just severely
malnourished. We found out
later it was the rice they fed to
the hogs. They would test you
periodically…You had to
know Chinese, Russian. You
had to teach yourself these
things. If they asked you
something when you were line
for food and you didn’t know
the answer you’d get turned
away. It was a constant fear,
exhaustion to keep you from
rebelling and keep you more
able to brainwash, keep you
pretty sedate.”
On Nov. 17, 1978, a delegation
which included concerned
relatives, government
officials, including Rep. Leo
Ryan and future
Congresswoman Jackie
Speier, and members of the
media arrived in Jonestown to
investigate charges of abuse
and kidnapping.
“I remember my dad prepping
me mentally for the
escape through the jungle at
least a few weeks before it
ever happened because we
knew they were coming from
the States,” she said. “They
started drilling you and threatening
you and saying ‘you
better not get out of hand and
tell anyone anything.’ So I
remember all those meetings.
We had to go to meetings
every night.”
Diaz said it was during this
visit that her grandmother
Edith informed the congressman
that they were being held
against their will.
“I was working in the bakery
on the day that Dad was
planning to escape,” she said.
“We were baking cookies and
things and cakes for the congressman.
We were going to
have a feast that day. I was in
heaven. I was thinking ‘Oh
my God, I’m going to get
good food and chicken.’ My
dad said ‘I’ll come in for you
when I’m ready.’…My grandmother
had run up to the congressman.
They tried to say
she was insane. And they were
like ‘do you mean to say you
can’t leave here?’ I knew at
that point it was over because
we had been doing suicide
drills.”
Diaz said Jones was particularly
distraught at the potential
exit of some of the
longest-serving members in
the church and offered Gerald
Parks $5,000 and a passport to
stay at least until the group
left.
“I remember Leo Ryan and
Jackie Speier walked us back
to our cabins to get a few
things, which we shouldn’t
have done because it gave
them time to regroup,” she
said.
Shortly before the delegation
departed for the airstrip,
Jones loyalist Larry Layton
demanded to join the group.

voiced their suspicions about
Layton’s motives.
“They were searching
Larry Layton,” she said. “We
all thought it was odd because
he was one of the most loyal
to Jim Jones. They searched
him for a gun and they didn’t
find anything, but then he had
a gun on the plane.”
Just as the Cessna taxied to
the far end of the airstrip,
Layton produced a gun and
started shooting at the passengers.
“He shot the two people in
front of us,” she said. “Then
he pointed the gun at my
brother’s chest. There was an
explosion and his hand flew
up and hit me in the face, but
the bullet didn’t come out of
the gun. No one could figure
out how it happened. Then my
brother started wrestling Larry
Layton. Then Larry Layton
was trying to keep me on the
plane. I got loose and God
must have given me wings
that day because I don’t think
my feet hit the ground.”
Diaz said the pilot then
attempted to take off, but the
plane was so riddled with bullets
it was unable to fly.
“They had thrown my
mom’s body off the plane,”
she said. “My dad said ‘you
can’t leave, that’s my daughter’
and they said ‘we’re not
going anywhere.’ I remember
seeing her head and everything
shot off in the back. I
was just a wreck mentally. I
don’t think I said maybe three
words that day. My dad said
‘Go. Run and hide. They’re
going to come back to finish
us off.’ So we ran so far that
we were lost for three days
and three nights.”
Diaz said the small group
that escaped the massacre
spent the next three days wandering
lost in the jungle,
unable to find help.
“Tommy Bouge and his
two sisters were in the jungle
with us,” she said. “He was
the one who got us lost farther.
He was just hallucinating. He
had been shot in the leg. He
tells people that he got everybody
out of there. My sister is
the one who got us out. That
third day I was so weak. I
knew my mom was dead. I
thought my dad was. We
thought they were all gone.
We were all laying around
sick and she said ‘do you hear
that music?’ And there was no
music anywhere, but she followed
this music sound. We
were on the river and we followed
the river because we
knew the river was near the
airstrip. And later they came
up on the boats and found us.”
Once the news of the slayings
at the airstrip reached
those in Jonestown, Jones
called a meeting that ended
with 909 temple members,
starting with children and the
elderly, being either poisoned
with grape Flavor-Aid mixed
with cyanide and other poisons
or else shot as they
attempted to escape death.
“I think it was more suicide
than murder,” she said. “They
thought they were dying for a
cause and a purpose. There
were also a lot of people who
were scared who had nothing
to come back to. I don’t know
how I’d break it down percentage-wise
60/40, 70/30
something like that.”
Diaz said it took her until
years after the incident to center
her own beliefs about God.
“Right after, I hated God; I
hated him,” she said. “After I
had my first daughter I knew
it was time to stop blaming
God. But I am spiritual now. I
will never ever be religious.”
Rebecca Moore is a professor
in Religious Studies at San
Diego State University and
one of the editors of “Peoples
Temple and Black Religion in
America.”
Moore is the site manager
of The Jonestown Institute
Web site and appeared in the
2007 documentary
“Jonestown - The Life &
Death of Peoples Temple.”
Moore said survivors of
Jonestown and incidents like
it view organized religion in
their own, separate ways in
the following years.
“I think there is a real variety
of opinion in survivors,”
she said. “Some people have
engaged in Christianity. Some
get involved in the New Age
movement. Others reject religion
entirely.”
Moore said some survivors
found it important to commune
with those who lived
through similar situations.
“I think it’s been very difficult
for survivors,” she said.
California voters nearly split on abortion measure
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO — California voters
are almost evenly split on a ballot measure
that would require parental notification
before most teenagers could get an
abortion, according to a new Field Poll.
Forty-five percent of likely voters support
Proposition 4, while 43 percent
oppose it, according to the poll released
Friday. It has a margin of error of plus or
minus 3.3 percentage points.
The poll also found that the four bond
measures on next Tuesday’s statewide
ballot are leading, but they have differing
levels of support.
Proposition 3, which would authorize
the sale of $980 million in state bonds to
pay for construction, remodeling, furnishing
and equipping children’s hospital,
was supported by 54 percent of the
966 likely voters questioned by Field
pollsters. Thirty-five percent were
opposed.
Proposition 12, which would allow the
sale of $900 million in bonds to pay for
home and farm loans to veterans, was
backed by 58 percent of those questioned
and opposed by 29 percent.
Proposition 1A, which would allow
the state to sell $9.95 billion in bonds to
help pay for a high-speed rail line
between the Los Angeles and San
Francisco areas and fund conventional
rail projects, was supported by 47 percent
and opposed by 42 percent.
Proposition 10, which would authorize
$5 billion in bonds to promote the sale of
natural gas and other alternative-fuel
vehicles, led 49 percent to 39 percent.
“There was a great stigma
attached to Jonestown. A couple
of things have helped survivors:
reconnecting with
each other. Some have found
strength in religious commitments.
I think what’s really
helped is talking about their
experiences with people. I
don’t know that people can
reconnect immediately. It
takes time to heal. Even people
who didn’t like each other
back in 1978 - that’s because
they have a common loss.
They actually have a lot in
common.”
Diaz said it was a long time
before she could confront her
own anger with those around
her responsible for involving
her with the group.
“I’m a real strong, spirited
person,” she said. “I always
wanted my mother to be proud
of me. To tell you the truth,
the hardest thing for me to do,
and I think I was 31 at the
time, was that once I got to a
certain age I said I was ready
to confront my feelings. It
takes a lot in order to be angry
at your dead mother. I said to
my dad ‘I’m tired of you
blaming yourself. Where was
the motherly protective
instincts?’ I am getting it out.
I’m not stuffing it down. That
was when my healing began.”
Diaz said it was important
for her to make the trip so that
she could begin putting some
of her feelings to rest.
“The memorial was so
hard, harder than I thought,”
she said. “Now since I’ve
been back, the nightmares are
back. But you have to face it. I
didn’t realize that it was going

to hit me as hard as it did.
CNN let me buy this big thing
that said ‘MOM’. My dad
gave me seven little angels for
each of us who tried to leave
that day.”
Diaz said she surprised herself
when she was asked why
she had decided to revisit the
location.
“I stayed grounded on the
airstrip,” she said. “Where I
spaced out and went outside
of myself was when we went
to Jonestown. I was not OK.
(Soledad O’Brien) asked why
I had to come all this way. I
said ‘I had to see for myself
that he was gone.’And I didn’t
want to say that. And then I
thought ‘maybe that is what I
needed and I just didn’t know
it.’ I lost a lot of other family
members there. It was painful.
I had to see a lot of bad things
over there.”
A sign hanging in the now
defunct pavilion at Jonestown
once read “Those who do not
remember history are doomed
to repeat it.”
Diaz said she hoped others
could take away lessons from
her story in order to diffuse
similar situations before problems
began.
“What I want people to get
from the nightmare is that you
always follow your heart and
listen to your gut,” she said.
“You listen to your God-given
instinct. And sometimes that’s
a confusing thing to do.”
Diaz said the two-hour special
is expected to air on CNN
at 6, 9 and midnight Nov. 13
and again on Nov. 15 and 16.

of cabernet sauvignon.
“I had a dream of doing
something agricultural on the
property,” says Lenczowski,
who is an attorney in the East
Bay, where he specializes in
business law. “Some of our
neighbors were growing
grapes and making great wine
so it made sense to plant a
vineyard.” People like the
Fetzers, Jim Milone and Bill
Crawford were making wonderful
wine. Resa and Hubert
have two children, who are
now 17 and 18. Like dad,
they spent their weekends
and summers in Hopland
,where they have worked the
ranch and helped with winemaking
chores.
Since the early 1980s, the
Lenczowskis have added 10
acres of cabernet sauvignon
and one acre of petite sirah.
Their first vintage of cabernet
was pressed in 1986 and
released in 1989. While not
paper certified, everything at
Duncan Peak is organic. The
vines are fertilized with the
grape and other compost.
This year the harvest was
on Oct. 15, which
Lenczowski considers late for
Duncan Peak. The devastating
spring frost knocked off
about half of the fruit, which
most people might consider
terrible news. Lenczowski,
tanned and lean, his dark hair
thinning and his chiseled face
effecting a calm impression
of intelligence, wit, and competence,
is delighted. “It’s
good news. It’s going to be
great wine,” he says in his
understated way. He explains
that there is an inverse relationship
between quality and
quantity. “The less you have
the better.” That’s because the
vigor from the vines goes into
the smaller crop of grape
clusters, like the “Grand Crus
of Bordeaux in France,” he
tells me.
The scale of the vineyard
and the winery means
Lenczowski can do everything
by hand. In normal
years when the grape crop is

more prolific, he cuts clusters
of berries off the vines around
verasion, which is when they
are just starting to turn from
green to purple. “We leave
one or two bunches per
cane.” This year’s harvest
produced only one ton per
acre. “That’s great news for a
winemaker,” he says. The
trick. he says. is to pick the
grapes ripe but not overly
ripe. He knows every bunch
that goes into the wine.
“Our wines are drinkable
as soon as they are bottled,”
Lenczowski says matter-offactly.
He describes his cabernet
and petite sirah as not
super high alcohol and tannic.
“I’ve tried fancy cult wines
that at 10 years old are not
ready to drink and the fruit is
already dead,” he explains.
“Ours at 10 and 15 years are
still vibrant and fruit rich.
You don’t need to have a lot
of tannins and alcohol to have
a lovely wine.”
“People who normally get
a headache from drinking red
wine have told me that my
wines don’t have that effect,”
he says. He quickly admits
that he’s not a scientist and
doesn’t even try to add different
things, but there’s something
to be said for the lower
tannins and alcohol.
He tastes regularly from
the 30 barrels the wines age
in for a couple of years. He
picks two to four of the best
tasting barrels each year to
bottle as the best of the best.
The 50 to 100 cases of the
reserve wine are only sold on
the website and through his
mailing list. His wife Resa
does marketing and sales for
the 1,000 cases they make of
Duncan Peak wines. The
wine is totally estate grown

of authenticity—wine made
on this property is a reflection
of what these soils and this
place can produce,” says
Lenczowski. Tours can be
made by appointment on the
weekends.
“All the buildings on the
ranch have historic connections
with the property and
the story of the winery,” says
Lenczowski. One of the old
buildings was an old “milk
barn.” Cows were milked in
the big barn below and milk
brought up to the milk barn to
stay cool until a truck came
and took it to the city. This
was before refrigeration. The
building had no windows and
was charcoal insulated. It
stays cool and was the original
winery until the mid-
1990s. The home is a bungalow
built by Bessie Duncan
in 1945. It perches on a knoll
shaded by trees and with just
enough room on the small
WEATHER
plateau for a lawn and a porch
from which to sip some
cabernet and watch the sun
set over Duncan Peak.
Lenczowski’s goal is to
preserve the integrity of the
property and make it a living
museum of local history.
Simultaneously he wants to
make excellent wine to help
put Mendocino County on the
map as a great winemaking
region.
“I try to be an ambassador
for Mendocino County
around California,, the nation
and internationally when we
market our wines in those
places,” he says. “I proudly
put Mendocino County on
my label because I want to let
people know this is where the
great things our soils produce
come from.”
TASTING NOTES:
Duncan Peak’s Mendocino
County 2004 Cabernet
Sauvignon is one of those
easy drinking wines with a
light plum aroma and symmetry
that could go with
many foods. It was especially
lovely with herb crusted panfried
pork chops and first of
the season chanterelle mushrooms
in a deglazed wine
sauce.

UCC Food Bank begins
Thanksgiving basket sign-ups
The Food Bank will begin their annual
Thanksgiving sign-ups on Monday, Nov. 8 during
regular distribution hours, 9 a.m. to 2:30
p.m. Sign ups will continue during each distribution
day, which are Mondays and Fridays, 9
a.m. until 2:30 p.m., and Wednesdays from 1 to
6:30 p.m. Those interested can also sign up
anytime Ukiah Community Center is open.
Hours for UCC are Monday through Friday, 8
a.m. to noon, and 1 to 5 p.m. The last day for

Late sign-ups will not be accepted.
Low income individuals and families who
are eligible may sign up for one holiday food
basket, for either Thanksgiving or Christmas.
When signing up, applicants must bring a
photo I.D. The maximum family size permitted
is 8. The UCC asks that applicants consider
immediate family only.
The Food Bank will be handing out approximately
320 Thanksgiving baskets this year so
space will be limited. They recommend that
applicants sign up early.
The food bank is putting out a special plea
for help this year: the state of the economy is
such that they will especially need the help of
the community. They will be asking for donations
of the following items: yams, cranberry
sauce, canned fruit, stuffing or stuffing mix,
potatoes, celery, canned vegetables, pumpkin
pie or other pie filling and, this year, they want
to add any type of boxed potato mix. Those
who wish to donate a frozen turkey, are asked
to bring it directly to the Food Bank. There will
be barrels placed at our local grocery stores
and other strategic places throughout Ukiah.
The UCC Food Bank’s address for donations
is 888 North State Street. For more information,
call 463-2409.
Fifth Elder Talk
scheduled for Nov. 10
In the Fifth Elder Talk, scheduled for
Monday, Nov. 10, at 6:30 p.m., the group will
talk to community elder Ed Burton. Burton
writes a column for a Willits News about his
inventions and life stories. They represent the
view of one who grew up in the depression,
served in the ranks in WW II, got higher education
through struggle and perseverance.
Burton holds many patents in the fields of
forestry, horticulture, aquaculture, combustion
and sewage treatment.
The discussion will take place at the Little
Lake Grange, at 291 School St., in Willits.
Third annual Turkey Trot 5K
Walk/Run set for Nov. 8
The community is invited to join in the third
annual Turkey Trot 5k walk/run, scheduled for
Saturday, Nov. 8. The course will be laid out
along the MacKerricher Park Haul Road,
North of Fort Bragg. For the 5K run, awards
will be given in several age/gender categories.
Those not interested in running are invited
to take part in a non-competitive 5K walk.
Runners and walkers alike are invited to come
in costume and prizes will be given for the best
three costumes. Registration and check-in will
take place at the Haul Road parking lot, near
OR
the Beachcomber Motel, from 8 to 9:15 am.
The Walk/Run begins at 9:30. This event is
a benefit for the Fort Bragg Food Bank. For
more information, contact Dan Fowler 964-
2316.
Weight Loss Surgery Support
Group to meet Nov. 7
The Gastric Reduction Duodenal Switch
Support Group will meet in Ukiah on Friday,
Nov. 7 at 710 S. State St., in the Apostles
Lutheran Church Room adjacent to
Washington Mutual Bank, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Parking is available in the rear of the bank.
According to the group, the Duodenal
Switch procedure is not a food reduction
surgery but instead changes the way the body
absorbs food and fat. They say the surgery also
resolves cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep
apnea, acid reflux and other chronic health
issues and has changed the lifestyle and
longevity of many patients. This procedure

surgery” or “lap band” surgery.

Sorry, neighbor -- I just don’t watch television
I live next door to the most
annoying couple in the world. You
may have neighbors you don’t get
along with or neighbors that you
have no use for, or neighbors with
yapping dogs, or undisciplined children,
or unkempt lawns. But I assure
you, they can’t hold a candle to the
Fergusons. What makes the
Fergusons such bad neighbors? The
Fergusons don’t have television.
No, they’re not Amish. No, they
are not living off the grid. No, they
are not part of some bizarre behavioral
experiment; they are not punishing
their children, they are just
pretentious snobs who think they are
better than everyone else just
because they don’t have television.
Oh, they have a TV set and they
watch movies on DVD, but they
refuse to hook the thing up to cable
or even an over-the-air-network. So
what’s the problem? Why do I care?
Village
Idiot

It’s their business, live and let live.
The problem is they rub my face in
it, they bring it up every chance they
get.
“Aren’t you sick of all the negative
campaign ads,” I might say
when we see each other in the driveway.
“No,” he says cheerfully, “We
haven’t seen any campaign commercials.
Remember, we don’t have TV.”
Like it’s my job to remember they
are the one family on the planet that
doesn’t have television. They just

China and India can finally get
television, but no, not the Fergusons,
they’re too good for that.
What he means to say when he
says they don’t have television is that
they are better than we are. What he
means to say is “We don’t smoke
television crack, like you weakwilled,
pathetic infotainment
junkies. We have better things to do
with our valuable time than watch
game shows and soap operas. We
waste our time watching foreign
films from Netflix.”
They are so smug.

have television, what are the chances

In the year ahead, there’s a
good possibility that you
could be invited to participate
in an endeavor that has a
strong chance of becoming
something of immense value.
Everyone involved will grow
and benefit.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Don’t hesitate to toot
your own horn if you’ve
recently accomplished something
quite outstanding that
others should know about,
especially if it means the difference
between winning and
losing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Someone who
has heard about your capabilities
might offer you an
opportunity to apply those
talents toward an effort that
offers some big rewards.
You’re up to the task.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- Associating with
mature, stable friends or
associates will be of
immense value to you. Their
suggestions, ideas and advice
will prove to be some of the
wisest things you’ve heard in
a long time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 19) -- Spending your
time effectively and productively
will not only be exceptionally
beneficial for you
and your associates but it
will bring you much personal
gratification as well.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- New relationships
established at this time could
prove to be extremely fortunate
for you. Get out and go
places where you can make
your presence felt, and
you’re sure to meet new people.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Focus your efforts on
your work and responsibilities,
and you’ll get the week
responsibility to know it’s normal to
put a little green pepper in coleslaw?
If she watched all the cooking shows
on television she might have known
that. Sure enough, she exploded like
one of those contestants on “Fear
Factor” after eating only half of a
giant, rancid slug. She could have
tossed her salad on her side of the
fence, but no, she spewed like Old
Faithful all over ours. I don’t know
what she had for breakfast but now it
was all over our rose bushes. Worse,
the Fergusons didn’t even offer to
help clean up the mess. Don’t people
without television have any manners?
A few afternoons of watching
Dr. Phil might do the Fergusons a
world of good.
Because they don’t have television
they haven’t even heard that on
Feb. 19, 2009 that all TV sets, even
the one in their house that they don’t
watch, will explode killing everyone

off to a great start. Your conscientious
measures will help
everyone do a better job.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Associates might not
agree with your thinking, but
they will consider and
respect what you have to say,
even if it’s painful to them,
because they’ll know you’re
telling it like it is.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Although financial
trends are exceptionally
promising, you aren’t apt to
cash in on them -- unless you
roll up your sleeves and
grind things out. Don’t waste
this propitious day.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- If you can position
yourself to be the one who
determines the conditions
and the course of action,
you’ll accomplish a great
deal. Don’t relinquish any
authority you already have.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Lady Luck will cooperate
once she sees you are making
a strong effort to do your
best with what is given to
you; it behooves you to do so
because there are large financial
gains to be made.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Even if you know
someone who has chased a
dream but failed, it doesn’t
mean you will suffer the
same fate. The more determined
you are, the greater
your chances will be.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Don’t hesitate to swim
against the currents, because
you’re stronger than you
think and will have a great
chance to reach your destination.
Plus, Lady Luck will
assist any willing contender.
Know where to look for
romance and you’ll find it.

I’m sorry, what? It won’t explode?
You just won’t get a signal? And
that’s only if your TV set is so old
you’re still getting your TV signal
from rabbit ears? That anyone who is
already hooked up to cable or satellite
won’t even notice the change? If
a snowy screen is the worst that can
happen, why are they running all
these announcements 500 times a
day like it’s going to be the end of the
entire world?
“I wouldn’t know,” said Bob
Ferguson, “Remember, we don’t

I do remember. I’m just hoping
they don’t read the newspaper, either.

LOST &
FOUND
I am a lost BIG male
purebred Black Lab.
I was lonely so I followed
a child who
was walking on
Burke Hill Dr home
on 10/28. I hope I will
be found. I am at the
Ukiah Shelter at 298
Plant Rd. Please
come get me or call
Sage if you know me,
467-6453
I am a VERY sick
Black Lab male puppy.
I was found in the
parking lot of Grace
Hudson School about
4 pm 10/30. I was
rushed to the Ukiah
shelter and then
rushed to the hospital.
If you know me
please call my new
friend Sage at 467-
6453. It will be expensive
to save my
life. If you would like
to make a donation to
my medical fund
please contact Sage.
