1 Coyote Valley defendant pleads not guilty
Other 6 still need lawyers
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
Michelle Campbell, one of the seven
defendants in a federal fraud case against former members of the tribal government of the
Pot raid
results in
2 arrests
The Daily Journal
Two men were arrested and
1,979 marijuana plants seized
in a raid on an illegal marijuana garden near State Route
20.
The garden was found by a
citizen who was hunting on
his family ranch east of Potter
Valley. It consisted of eight
different garden plots concealed beneath brush and
trees.
Members of the County of
Mendocino
Marijuana
Eradication Team raided the
garden with the help of officers from the Bureau of Land
Management.
While raiding the garden,
COMMET members arrested
Manuel Chavez, 34, and
Miguel Lua, 24, both of
Mexico. They were arrested
on suspicion of possession of
marijuana for sale, planting
and cultivating marijuana for
sale and illegal entry.
Both men are being held
without bail because they are
illegal immigrants.
Officers
from
the
Mendocino County Sheriff’s
Office are continuing to
investigate this incident.
UKIAH CITY COUNCIL
Monthly
pay hike
approved
By KATIE MINTZ
The Daily Journal
How does a 4 percent raise
sound? Or what about $19
extra per month?
While the latter doesn’t
sound like much, for Ukiah
City Council members, it’s a 4
percent raise, and the amount
they decided to increase their
salaries by on Monday
evening.
With a 3-2 vote, Mayor
Mark Ashiku and Councilman
Douglas Crane dissenting, the
City Council chose to increase
its own monthly salary by 1
percent for every year since the
current salary, $471 per month,
became effective in November
2002.
Following the November
2007 election, each councilmember will receive $490 a
month for offering his or her
service to the city, pending
approval of an ordinance
reflecting these desires at the
next council meeting.

Federal indictments handed

Volunteers salvage food that would otherwise be wasted
By BEN BROWN

Isaac Eckel/The Daily Journal
Bill Boosinger, a new member of the Grateful Gleaners, picks pears during a harvest session on
Wednesday in Willits. The Grateful Gleaners harvests crops that would otherwise go to waste, most
of which is donated to various organizations throughout the community.
Group feeds community
with harvest of produce

The Daily Journal
I
t is better to give than to receive.
The Grateful Gleaners of Willits
is not the author of this saying,
but its members believe in the motto.
“We like to glean with a
teamwork approach,” said Karen
Gridley, one of the organizers and
team leaders affiliated with the
Grateful Gleaners. “Last year, we
harvested over 1,000 pounds of
produce out of a garden to give to
various needy organizations.”
The Willits Grateful Gleaners was
begun about a year-and-a-half ago
and is dedicated to promoting the
growing, preserving and sharing of
local, seasonal, organic food by
harvesting fruits and nuts from a
variety of growers.
“We have about 40 people
altogether that help glean,” Gridley
said. “Most of our produce goes to a
soup kitchen at St. Anthony’s Church
called Our Daily Bread.”
'Gleaning connects people and land
owners to their local communities.'

It donates a portion of the produce
harvested to those in need within the
community, and the rest is enjoyed
by growers, gleaners and the
community at large through
donations to local events and
gatherings. It shares the abundance
and resources to strengthen
community ties, to create a more
sustainable, cooperative future. It
also donates produce and food to the
food bank and the Boys and Girls
Club’s After School Program.
On Wednesday, the Grateful
Gleaners spent a portion of the

Karen Gridley places picked
pears into a bin. By harvesting
local fruit that would be wasted,
the gleaners do a service for the
land owners as well as themselves and the organizations
that receive the fruit.
The trial of Richard Peacock was briefly interrupted
Wednesday by arguments
between
Peacock
and
Mendocino Superior Court
Judge Leonard LaCasse over
whether or not Peacock
should be allowed to represent himself.
Peacock is on trial on
charges of attempted murder
in connection with an attack
made on Alan Simon last
year. Simon suffered superficial wounds to his head and
forearm in an attack on June
17, 2005, when Peacock
allegedly fired nine rounds
from a .22 caliber handgun
through Simon’s front door.
It’s alleged that Peacock
attempted to kill Simon at the
behest of former Westport
County
Water
District
Chairman Kenny Rogers,
who was replaced by Simon
in a recall election.
Peacock said he wanted to
defend himself because he
didn’t think his defense was
being handled correctly
“The right questions are
not being asked,” Peacock
said
LaCasse
ruled
that
Peacock could not represent
himself because Peacock had
already declined that right
during the opening of the trial
on Monday. Peacock is currently being represented by
attorney Jan Cole-Wilson.
LaCasse also expressed
concerns about Peacock’s
behavior in court.
“I think I will lose complete control of this trial if
you are allowed to defend
yourself,” LaCasse said
Testimony
Wednesday
centered around the circumstances of Peacock’s arrest on
June 18, 2005 in the parking
lot of Foster’s Market at the
intersection of Branscomb
Road and Highway 101.
The arrest began with a
high speed pursuit by

Bed tax increase gets chamber support after change
By KATIE MINTZ
The Daily Journal
On Monday, the Ukiah City Council
unanimously approved the amendment
of a resolution, winning support from
the Greater Ukiah Chamber of
Commerce for its hotel and motel
room occupancy tax measure sched-
uled for the November ballot.
Known now as Measure X, if
passed by a simple majority of voters,
it will increase the tax from 8 percent
to 10 percent, matching the rate
Mendocino County and many other
cities statewide charge tourists for
overnight accommodations in hotels,
motels and bed and breakfasts.
When the council approved the
measure for the ballot in July, and a
resolution stipulating how revenue
from the increase should be spent in
early August, some in the tourism and
hotel industry expressed concerns.
The resolution stated that at least
half of the increased revenues to result
from the 2 percent tax increase would
go toward “promotion of the City of
Ukiah and its tourist industry.” The
remainder of the increased revenue
would be used for beautification of

The world briefly
Dangerous Hurricane John grows into a
Category 4 storm along Mexico’s coast
PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico (AP) — Hurricane John lashed
tourist resorts with heavy winds and rain Wednesday as the dangerous storm marched up Mexico’s Pacific coast, and forecasters predicted its center would brush close to land before nicking the tip of
Baja California and heading out to sea.
Forecasters warned the Category 4 hurricane could dump up to
a foot of rain along parts of Mexico’s southern coast, causing landslides or flooding. The hurricane had maximum sustained winds of
135 mph and stronger gusts capable of ripping roofs off buildings
and causing storm surges of up to 18 feet above normal.
John was not expected to affect the United States — cooler
Pacific waters tend to diminish the storms before they reach California. But a hurricane warning covered a more than 300-mile
stretch of the Mexican coastline from the port city of Lazaro Cardenas north to Cabo Corrientes, the southwestern tip of the bay that
holds Puerto Vallarta. The government also issued a hurricane
watch for portions of the southern Baja Peninsula, from La Paz
south on the east coast and from Sante Fe south on the west coast,
an area which includes the resort city of Cabo San Lucas.
So far, the most damaging winds have remained offshore, and
only tropical storm-force winds have hit the coast.
U.S. Gen. Casey optimistic over Iraqi
forces’ ability to assume control
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — The top U.S. commander in Iraq
expressed optimism Wednesday that Iraqi forces are making
enough progress to provide their own security within 18 months.
But violence showed no sign of abating, with 66 people killed
nationwide, including 24 in a Baghdad market bombing. The U.S.
military also reported Wednesday that a Marine was killed in action
the day before in the volatile western Anbar province.
Gen. George Casey said Iraqi troops were on course to take over
security control from U.S.-led coalition forces, a move that would
bring the foreign forces a step closer to withdrawal from the country. “I don’t have a date, but I can see over the next 12 to 18
months, the Iraqi security forces progressing to a point where they
can take on the security responsibilities for the country, with very
little coalition support,” he said.

commercial areas, park development and maintenance, economic development and
scholarships for local children
to attend local recreation programs.
However, hoteliers feared
that since the measure is being
peddled as a general tax rather
than a special tax, all money
would go directly to the city’s
General Fund and might not
ultimately be put toward uses
that would benefit the businesses affected by the
increase.
To ease concerns, Councilman John McCowen met with
the chamber’s Governmental
Affairs Committee to work
out a compromise that would
enable the chamber to get
behind the measure.
“We weighed the positives
and the negatives, and agreed
to go with a general tax with a
strong emphasis on making an
investment in promoting the
city,” chamber board of directors Chairman John Lattimore
said. “The ultimate decision
was it was more important to
move ahead and get something started now than to postpone it for potentially a couple
of years to get the special tax.”
A special tax would create a
separate fund for the money,
but requires a two-thirds vote
and is often much more difficult to pass.

Iran ignores 6 powerful countries, U.N.
Security Council demand on uranium
VIENNA, Austria (AP) — A defiant Iran kept on enriching uranium up to two days before the U.N. Security Council’s Thursday
deadline for Tehran to freeze such activity or face the threat of
sanctions, U.N. and European officials said.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged European
members of the council against resorting to sanctions, saying punishment would not dissuade his country from pursuing its disputed
nuclear program. “Sanctions cannot dissuade the Iranian nation
from achieving our lofty goals of progress. So it’s better for Europe
to be independent (of the U.S.) in decision-making and to settle
problems through negotiations,” Ahmadinejad said Wednesday,
according to state-run television.
Iran could theoretically still announce a full stop to enrichment
before the deadline set by the Security Council. But that appeared
unlikely, considering Tehran’s past refusal to consider such a move
and findings by the International Atomic Energy Agency that it was
enriching small quantities of uranium as late as Tuesday.
Lawyer accused of stabbing neighbor
to death over child-molestation suspicions
FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) — A lawyer climbed through a neighbor’s bedroom window and stabbed him to death after being told
by a family member that the man had molested his 2-year-old
daughter, authorities say.
Barry James, 58, was stabbed in the chest nearly a dozen times
Monday. The lawyer, Jonathon Edington, 29, was charged with
murder and burglary and was released on $1 million bail Wednesday.
Capt. Gary MacNamara said that police had not received a complaint about the child being assaulted before the killing, and “we
have no indication it’s true or not true.”
Edington’s attorney, Michael Sherman, said the information
came from Edington’s wife. “The daughter gave the mother information which was alarming and disturbing. The mom relayed it to
her husband. That was the spark,” Sherman said.
See BRIEFLY, Page 15
The
compromise,
as
reflected in the amendment to
the resolution approved earlier
this week, stipulates that in the
first two years of the tax
increase, 75 percent of the 2
percent increase be dedicated
to promotion, and in subsequent years, no less than 50
percent. It also requires that
the funds be administered by
the chamber according to a
performance agreement with

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert indicated Israel would only lift the

Ukiah Art Stroll
courthouse showing
set for Sept. 7
The Daily Journal
The public is invited to
take part in the Ukiah Art
Stroll on Thursday, Sept. 7
in downtown Ukiah.
Generally, the Art Stroll
is set up for local artists and
entertainers to showcase
their work in downtown
businesses. However, the
event has too many talented
artists and entertainers from
the community then participating businesses for each
stroll. Therefore, there will
be a new spin on the next
stroll.
The Ukiah Main Street
Program has invited all local
artists and entertainers
throughout our community
to showcase their work in
front
of
the
Ukiah
Courthouse, in conjunction
with the Sept. 7 Art Stroll.
The Art Stroll will still take
place as usual, with maps
being distributed indicating
each participating location.
The Courthouse will also be
listed as a location on the
maps. Participants should
look for the brightly colored
balloons along School and
State streets downtown,
indicating
participating
businesses. Again… Sept. 7
from 5 to 8 p.m. will be the
Art Stroll in celebration of
local arts.
See the August Map and
Location Directory for a full
list of this month’s participants and their locations.
Attendees can pick up maps
at the Mendocino Book Co,
the Ukiah Main Street
Program and also in the
Ukiah Valley Conference
Center Lobby the night of
the Stroll. The Ukiah Art
Stroll is a free event, so
come down, stroll the town
and enjoy art, entertainment
and refreshments.
For more information,
call the Ukiah Main Street
Program at 463-6729 or
email [email protected]
Founded in 1987, the
Ukiah Main Street Program
is one of nearly 1,500
nationwide non-profit Main
Street associations. It is
dedicated to promoting
downtown Ukiah economic
development, organization,
beautification, events, historic preservation and

gab, and grog. With the
Sisters of Perpetual Sewing
something’s gone terribly
askew. Nothing is as it seems
and when the spirits move,
it’s the wrong kind of spirits.
The details of this nunhouse turned nuthouse will be
revealed in the Willits
Community Theatre’s upcoming production of “Drinking
Habits,” a farce by Tom
Smith.
Now, before you question
the propriety of making fun
of clergy, let me speculate as
to why this play is so funny.
It could never happen in real
life. No one could be offended at the antics of these nuns
(if they really are nuns)
because they’re so outrageous. It’s a total fantasy. You
have our blessing to laugh
aloud and often.
WCT’s choice of this thoroughly entertaining play continues its tradition of presenting the best in comedy and
farce to help us cope with the
uncertainties of today‚s
world. And, heaven knows,
we need it now more than
ever.
Smith describes his play as
follows: “Sister Augusta

Philomena (Patricia Willis)
have been secretly making
and selling wine for years to
keep the doors of their small
convent open. When their
wine suddenly wins an
award, newspaper reporters
Paul (Jason Ballard) and

searching for the vintners.
“As Sally and Paul spy on
the convent, they are caught
by Mother Superior (Jolie
L’amour), Sally pretends to
be the new nun that Mother
Superior was expecting and
Paul claims to be a visiting
priest. When Father Chenille
(Ian Stigliani) sees Paul, he
suspects the Vatican of sending out a new priest to
replace him. When the actual
new nun, Sister Mary
Catherine (Hope Nelson),
does arrive, Mother Superior
believes her to be a spy from
Rome, sent to investigate the
convent. Chaos ensues as
Augusta and Philomena try to
secretly press more wine Paul
and Sally try to find the
winemakers and Mother
Superior and Father Chenille
spy on the suspected spies.”

groundskeeper may not be
what he appears either!”

Launching the new CW television
network based on the old
By TIM RILEY
Special for the Journal
Heading into the new fall TV season, it
may be a fun time for a trivia quiz. Does
anyone remember the DuMont Television
Network? To answer this question
requires a grasp of TV minutiae or great
memory for someone of advanced age.
Well, DuMont, considered one of the
original TV networks, folded up shop a
half-century ago. Today, we are looking
at the demise of two more networks,
though their passing may hardly be
lamented. UPN and the WB, both of
which never geared up for a full seven
nights a week of series and original
shows, will join DuMont in the dustbin of
TV history in September.
The good news for the limited fan base
of UPN and the WB is that the new CW
network being launched on Sept. 20 is
really a merger of the two. This hybrid
network will air mostly old favorites such
as “7th Heaven,” “Gilmore Girls,” and
“Everybody Hates Chris.” To locate CW
on the dial, about 60 percent of the country will have will have to migrate from
their old UPN station to the WB station,
while about 30 percent will have to do the
same from the old WB station to the UPN
affiliate. The remaining 10 percent will
have to search elsewhere or, better yet,
give up altogether and find another form
of entertainment.
Speaking to a gathering of the nation’s
TV critics, network president Dawn
Ostroff acknowledged that CW is targeting “Gen X and Gen Yers” because
nobody else is going after the 18-to-34
year-old demographic. Referring to the
soon defunct UPN and the WB, Ostroff
claimed “there were two networks that
were going after the same audience, so
this is great opportunity to combine all of
the shows, all of the knowledge and create a new look for this audience.” What is
old is new again. This could be the CW’s
unspoken motto. Unfortunately, the new
enterprise was ready to toss “7th Heaven”
overboard until fans deluged executives
with a ton of emails and phone calls, but
rabid fan support only goes so far, as witnessed by the failed attempt to keep
“Everwood” on the air.
Gambling on the possible theory that
“two wrongs do make a right,” CW is
going ahead with only two new series on
its fall schedule because Ostroff
expressed that the “strategy all along was
to depend on the established franchises to
help bring in new viewers.” Even the
most optimistic network executive doesn’t believe that the hybrid CW network
results in a doubling of its audience as a
result of combining the best elements of
UPN and the WB. The game plan
involves marketing and depending on the
viewers who already love the existing
shows.
Nevertheless, CW is moving forward
with two new series, one of them a sitcom spin-off from “Girlfriends,” a former UPN show that holds a slot on the
Sunday night lineup. It makes sense then
that “The Game” should follow its source
material with a spot immediately afterwards. Tia Mowry’s Melanie Barnett is
the girlfriend of a pro football player in
“The Game.” She’s about to discover that
her status as a main squeeze is not so
glamorous since her boyfriend Derwin
(Pooch Hall) is the new third-string wide
receiver for the San Diego Sabers. As she
deals with egos, groupies and image consultants, Melanie is finding out how the
game is played among the women behind

Letters from our readers
In support of SB 840
To the Editor:
California is poised to have single payer
universal health care if Governor
Schwarzenegger doesn’t veto it.
SB 840, (Kuehl) the California Health
Insurance Reliability Act has passed Senate
and Assembly and is on its way to the
Governor’s desk. This bill guarantees
health coverage with comprehensive benefits and the right to choose one’s own doctor to all Californians. The Governor is
expected to veto it.
This bill involves no new spending on
health care. It would be funded by drawing
in current public spending and replacing all
premiums, co-pays and deductibles paid to
insurance companies with premiums paid
to the system. The bill creates a blue ribbon
panel of health, finance and technical
experts to lay out the mechanics for an
affordable premium structure using information gathered in available funding studies.
Over one half of personal bankruptcies
in the U.S. are due to medical bills and 75
percent of medical debtors had health
insurance when they got sick. This is crazy.
We now have a chance to have universal
health care at a reasonable cost. Please urge
Governor Schwarzenegger to sign SB 840.

campers were joined daily by day
“campers” totaling over 100 student athletes coming together with the help of
Coach Burris and his staff.
The camp was a tremendous success
thanks to coaches, trainers, parents, speakers, custodial staff and especially those
individuals and businesses who “donated”
meals. The camp was not only a privilege
to be part of but a stepping stone in the continuing growth of Ukiah High Football.

End the madness in Iraq
To the Editor:
Another call up of the Ready Reserve -another back door draft -- another lie,
another breach of faith with those who volunteer to protect us! The administration’s
failed policies and the incompetence of the
President and the Secretary of War,
Rumsfeld are more apparent than ever. The
chickenhawks who wouldn’t serve themselves, or avoided doing their full duty,
continue to send our brothers and sisters to
be killed and maimed for the defense of
OPEC and the profits of their multinational
cronies. All of us owe our troops the support they deserve -- end this madness and
bring them home! Then impeach and prosecute the criminals that got us into this
mess!

Broken promises
Other opinions
From around the nation
Texarkana
Gazette,
Texarkana, Texas
On the death
penalty
The latest battle in the war
on the death penalty is the
charge that lethal injection is
cruel and unusual, therefore a
violation of the U.S.
Constitution.
The goal for those advocating the theory is the same:
abolition of the death penalty.
Only the strategy has changed.
Instead of arguing the death
penalty itself is wrong, opponents now attack the method.
Capital punishment is an
emotional issue. Some see it as
vital for preserving law and
order. Some say it is simply
just punishment that fits the
crime -- an eye for an eye.
Others say it is unfairly
applied and point to recent
cases where DNA evidence
has cleared death row inmates
-- in some cases after execution has already taken place.
And some say it is a barbaric
remnant of our past that
deserves to be eliminated.
While there is no method of
execution that would be welcomed by those to be executed, simply being strapped to a
gurney and going to sleep is
worlds away in barbarism
from hanging, cyanide gas,
electrocution or the firing
squad. There will never be a
form of capital punishment
that is not cruel and unusual to
those who oppose the death
penalty. Nor, one speculates,
one that is too severe for those
who favor justice served Old
Testament style.
Whatever one’s stance on
the ultimate sanction, the argument should be about capital
punishment itself and not on
the relatively inconsequential
concern of method.
Watertown Daily
Times, Watertown,
Sounds like it should have

On the changing face
of terrorists
Iowa City PressCitizen, Iowa City
The terrorist profile is
changing
in
Europe.
Authorities no longer expect
suspects to be disenchanted,
alienated Muslim youths with
few resources.
Now they may be collegeeducated men or women with
jobs and apparently sound
prospects for the future, that is,
until they are charged with terrorism.
Britain’s foiling of the
recent airline-bomb plot
revealed the phenomenon.
Among the 24 suspects
being held in Britain are three
women. Most of the men are
middle class, many employed.
One is a student and head of
an Islamic society at a London
university, The Wall Street
Journal reported. ...
Because middle-class and
university-educated terrorists
do not stand out initially, they
raise few suspicions until they
act. The participation of
women “throws out everything we ever thought about
profiling,” said Farhana Ali,
an analyst at Rand Corp., a
nonprofit think tank. ...
Students
have
been
involved before. Three of the
9-11 terrorists studied in
Hamburg,
Germany.
Chemical student Ramzi
Yousef, who tried to blow up
the World Trade Center in
1993, studied chemistry in
Britain. ...
Some 23 Muslim students
from Britain have been killed
in or accused of terrorist acts
in the last five years, analysts
say.
British universities are
addressing the problem of
extremism on campus, the
Journal reports.
On health care directives
All competent adults need
to provide advanced directives
about their health care choices,
or they might not receive the
care they desire when facing a
health crisis. This is especially
true for anyone whose beliefs
about what constitutes acceptable medical practice are out
of the mainstream.
During last year’s Terri
Schiavo case, we saw a
Florida family torn apart for
more than a decade. ...
In case we needed an
example closer to home, we
now have one with Tawnya
Brooke Nissen, a Clinton
woman who is in a medically
induced coma. ... Her doctor
testified that if her condition
worsens, she could require a
blood transfusion. Her husband, Chris Nissen, has told
physicians that he and Tawnya
are Jehovah’s Witness and
would not consent to a transfusion because of the faith’s
beliefs in the sanctity of blood.
...
Tawnya’s father, Richard
Reid, and her sister, Amanda
Bingham, testified that
Tawnya had told them she
would accept a blood transfusion if it meant the difference
between life and death either
for herself or for her 5-yearold son. ...
Johnson County District
Court
Judge
Marsha
Beckelman
appointed
Tawnya’s father as her “limited guardian” and ruled that
Chris Nissen may be present at
meetings with hospital personnel to discuss her medical condition and treatment. ...

Last September President Bush stood in New
Orleans, where the lights had just come on for the
first time since Katrina struck, and promised “one
of the largest reconstruction efforts the world has
ever seen.” Then he left, and the lights went out
again.
What happened next was a replay of what happened after Bush asked Congress to allocate $18
billion for Iraqi reconstruction. In the months that
followed, congressmen who visited Iraq returned
with glowing accounts of all the wonderful things
we were doing there, like repainting schools and,
um, repainting schools.
But when the Coalition Provisional Authority,
which was running Iraq, closed up shop nine
months later, it turned out that only 2 percent of the
$18 billion had been spent, and only a handful of
the projects that were supposed to have been
financed with that money had even been started. In
the end, America failed to deliver even the most
basic repair of Iraq’s infrastructure; today, Baghdad
gets less than seven hours of electricity a day.
And so it is along our own Gulf Coast. The Bush
administration likes to talk about all the money it
has allocated to the region, and it plans a public
relations blitz to persuade America that it’s doing a
heck of a job aiding Katrina’s victims. But as the
Iraqis learned, allocating money and actually using
it for reconstruction are two different things, and so
far the administration has done almost nothing to
make good on last year’s promises.
It’s true that tens of billions have been spent on
emergency relief and cleanup. But even the cleanup
remains incomplete: Almost a third of the hurricane
debris in New Orleans has yet to be removed. And
the process of going beyond cleanup to actual
reconstruction has barely begun.
For example, although Congress allocated $17
billion to the Department of Housing and Urban
Development for Katrina relief, primarily to provide cash assistance to homeowners, as of last week
the department had spent only $100 million. The
first Louisiana homeowners finally received checks
under a federally financed program just three days
ago. Mississippi, which has a similar program, has
sent out only about two dozen checks so far.
Local governments, which were promised aid in
rebuilding facilities such as fire stations and sewer
systems, have fared little better in actually getting
that aid. A recent article in The National Journal
describes a Kafkaesque situation in which devastated towns and parishes seeking federal funds have
been told to jump through complex hoops, spending
time and money they don’t have on things like
proving that felled trees were actually knocked
down by Katrina, only to face demands for even
more paperwork.
Apologists for the administration will doubtless
claim that blame for the lack of progress rests not
with Bush, but with the inherent inefficiency of
government bureaucracies. That’s the great thing
about being an anti-government conservative: Even
when you fail at the task of governing, you can
claim vindication for your ideology.
But bureaucracies don’t have to be this inefficient. The failure to get moving on reconstruction
reflects lack of leadership at the top.
Bush could have moved quickly to turn his
promises of reconstruction into reality. But he didn’t. As months dragged by with little sign of White
House action, all urgency about developing a plan
for reconstruction ebbed away.
Bush could have appointed someone visible and
energetic to oversee the Gulf Coast’s recovery,
someone who could act as an advocate for families
and local governments in need of help. But he didn’t. How many people can even name the supposed
reconstruction “czar?”
Bush could have tried to fix FEMA, the agency
whose effectiveness he destroyed through cronyism
and privatization. But he didn’t. FEMA remains a
demoralized organization, unable to replenish its
ranks: It currently has fewer than 84 percent of its
authorized personnel.
Maybe the aid promised to the gulf region will
actually arrive someday. But by then it will probably be too late. Many former residents and smallbusiness owners, tired of waiting for help that never
comes, will have permanently relocated elsewhere;
those businesses that stayed open, or reopened after
the storm, will have gone under for lack of customers. In America as in Iraq, reconstruction
delayed is reconstruction denied -- and Bush has,
once again, broken a promise.

Mendocino College Art Gallery Bob Rhoades retrospective
to present Los Hilos de la Vida exhibit now showing at the MAC
exhibit opening next Thursday
The Daily Journal
The Daily Journal
Hilos de la Vida (The Threads of Life) is
a collective of women artists who make pictorial wall hangings using free motion quilting techniques. The project began in a parenting class offered by the Anderson Valley
Even Start program for women who had
migrated from Mexico. Most of the women
participating in Hilos are immigrants from
Mexico, who came to the Anderson Valley as
agricultural workers, often with only 3 to 9
years of school in Mexico and little chance
of advancing beyond minimum wage
employment here.
Molly Johnson Martinez, Even Start
Parent Educator, and Susan Kerr, a Behavior
Specialist, (and also a member of the
Mendocino Quilt Artist Guild) decided to
introduce story quilting techniques into a
parenting class they were co-teaching as a
way to attract more women to the class.
They also hoped to give the women in the
class new ways in which to creatively
explore and express themselves. Since Even
Start is a literacy program, the women also
wrote short stories about the quilts they
made and what they meant tothem. The class
met for three and a half hours once a week,
during which the women learned to design a
wall hanging that told their story. They also
learned how to use a sewing machine and
quilting techniques. Many of the quilts tell
stories of the women’s lives, culture and
community in Mexico, experiences of crossing the border into the United States, and
what living here and leaving her home and
family there has meant.
The Instructors were so impressed by the
intuitive sense of design and compelling stories portrayed in the quilts, that they wanted
to share them with the community. They
were first exhibited in a local restaurant in
May of 2005.
The sale of some quilts inspired the
women to make more and find new exhibition venues. They have been seen at the
California Institute of Integral Studies in San
Francisco among other places.
What had begun as a class intended to
enrich women’s lives has become a small
business bringing needed income into the
lives of the artists and the community in
which they live. Women come to Even Start
classes when they aren’t working, either
because they have small children at home or
cannot find jobs. The project provides
sewing machines that can be borrowed,
materials to work with, support and instruction.
The exhibit runs through October and the
public is welcome. Regular gallery hours are
Tuesday through Thursday 12:30 to 3:30
p.m. or by special appointment: 468-3207 or
468-3022.

Local bands competing in KMUD’s

CW
described it as “lime green.
There is a bit of darker green
in there. There’s a whole
palette. There’s obviously yellow and white.” While her
ability to describe this special
green may be hard to do, she
was more upbeat in saying
that “green is also a very
happy color. It really represents fun, happy. It really
stands for a lot of what the
network is about. There’s sort
of this attitude about it.”
Not wanting to sound cynical, but as the CW rolls out its
campaign for parity, if not
dominance, in the network
landscape, the only color of
green that will ultimately matter is the color of money.

the athletes. I am wondering if
this new series has been
inspired
by
BBC’s
“Footballers’ Wives,” only
toned down for a family hour
viewing.
CW’s only other new series
sounds inspired by “The
Fugitive,” except turned into a
family affair. “Runaway” is a
suspenseful one-hour drama
about a family on the run from
the law while the father tries
to prove he is not a murderer
and protect his wife and children from the real killer.
Donnie Wahlberg’s Paul
Rader takes his wife (Leslie
Hope) and three kids to a
small Iowa town, after finding
the family’s comfortable life
in Maryland shattered when
he was wrongly accused of
killing a beautiful young associate in his law firm. The
whole brood is on the run,
struggling to blend into a new
life, hiding from the legal system that unjustly accused Paul
Rader of a terrible and violent
crime. The real killer is threatening the lives of the children,
and the grueling ordeal is taking its toll in the emotional
strain on the kids displaced
from friends, schools and routines left behind.
As CW sets out to establish
its presence, perhaps you have
noticed billboards or other
advertising that feature the
network’s
green
color.
Network president Ostroff
noted that people are talking
about the color, which is an
effective marketing tool, and
Dive Bombers is fronted by Graeme
Scott and the drummer is the same drummer for NPK named Greg. Graemes son is
also in the band, he goes to UC Santa
Barbara which just recently was voted #10
biggest party school in the nation where I
am sure rock and roll is a prerequisite.
Montage hails from the contests northern
boundaries, is out of the Eureka area and
are: Dustain Westfall; Vocals and rhythm
guitar; Justin Venegas; bass guitar; T.J.,
lead guitar; Kerry, drums.
Chain of Command with their So Hum
flavor of hard rock are: Aric Stark, vox and
bass; Eric Borchert, drums; Rob McKnight,
guitar; and Tad Fouquette -- father of a
rocking two year old son and the smiley
face behind the counter at Wild Horse
plays his wailing guitar as well. Tad recently told me that they just want to play a
good show for everybody and have a good
time at the Battle.
Tickets for the competition are at the
usual outlets for $10 in advance and $14 at
the Mateel Community Center. Doors open
at 5 p.m. and competition starts at 6 p.m.
The Teen Center is providing all kinds of
snacks and beverages through the Mateel
kitchen for sale. KMUDs own Heavy Metal
Goddess Lisa Luv will be the MC for the
night. This is an all ages event of nothing
but local great rock and roll.
The Mendocino Art Center
will showcase the works of
Bob Rhoades in a retrospective
exhibition, “Looking Forward,
Looking Backward,” today
through Sept, 24, in the Main
Gallery. The showing will be a
sampling of Rhoades’ drawings, watercolors, sculptures
and etchings.
“While I most often exhibit
monotypes and collages,”
remarked Rhoades, “this retrospective gives me an opportunity to show some media that I
rarely exhibit. It is difficult to
maintain any kind of artistic
focus while working with such
a range of media and techniques. I have tended towards
thematic series in subject matter such as trees, ancient sites,
and architectural features like
bridges, doors and windows.
These latter subjects have the
additional attraction to me as
metaphorical links, passages
and access. These links and
access points have the same
appeal to me as visits to a
museum, cathedral or ancient
site. They are the continuing,
sustaining connections to the
lives, inspiration and physical
activities of artists and creative
spirits from generations long
gone but gloriously present in
their work.”
Rhoades has been teaching
art since 1970, the last 24 years
at the College of the Redwoods
Mendocino Coast. He came to
Mendocino when the majority
of the College of the
Redwoods classes were taught
at the Mendocino Art Center.
He has taught, and continues to
teach, classes in drawing,
painting, printmaking, design,
sculpture and paper making.
Mendocino Art Center’s
September gallery exhibitions
also include Uriel Ruano’s
Mexican folk art in the
Abramson Gallery; Evie
Wilson’s “Leaving a Paper
Trail” showing of handcrafted
books, paintings, and collages
in Gallery Ten; and Donovan
Holtz’s acrylic paintings on
canvas, and Sharon and
Stephen Garner’s husband and
wife exhibit, “All You Need is
Love,” featuring watercolors
and photography in the
Nichols Gallery.

ATLANTA — Adam LaRoche had
three doubles, a triple and drove in three
runs. Yet he really wanted to talk about a
foul ball.
LaRoche yanked a ball completely out
of Turner Field in the eighth inning, the
ball soaring over the roof of the third
deck down the right-field line. It wasn’t
close to being fair — about the only
thing that didn’t go right for the streaking first baseman who led the Atlanta
Braves past the San Francisco Giants 5-3
on Wednesday night.
“I’m so much more excited to hit a
ball out of the stadium than I am getting
the four hits,” LaRoche quipped. “I’d
like to get a distance on it. It had some
good air.”
The Braves, who’ve given up on winning a 15th straight division title, are
making a late push for the wild card with
four straight wins at home. If nothing
else, they are having a lot more fun.
Marcus Giles smacked LaRoche in
the face with a pie while he did a live
television interview in front of the
Braves’ dugout. John Smoltz kept saying
he was the one who sparked LaRoche’s
hot streak by making his teammate move
to a different locker in the Turner Field
clubhouse.
“The locker change,” Smoltz yelled.
“Don’t forget the locker change.”
LaRoche said the Braves are starting
to regain some of their swagger.

Coach plans to make
Warriors win again
By GREG BEACHAM
OAKLAND — Don
Nelson relaxed in Maui,
opened a bar in Dallas and
just couldn’t get comfortable
in his cushy life after basketball.
The NBA’s second-winningest coach simply had to
get on the sideline again —
and the Golden State
Warriors were thrilled to welcome him back.
Nelson officially returned
to
the
Warriors
on
Wednesday night, vowing to
return
excitement
and
respectability to the club he
led to its best seasons in the
past three decades.
Many of the players on
Nelson’s previous Golden
State teams — Chris Mullin,
Rod Higgins and Mitch
Richmond — are club executives now, and the 66-yearold Nelson said he jumped at
a phone call from Mullin.
“The main reason I came
back was I had some real
good friends that asked me to
come,” said Nelson, who left
the Dallas Mavericks’ sideline 18 months ago. “They
asked me if I would come
back and get back some of
the magic that used to be
here, when this arena used to
be rocking.”
He formally accepted the
job at the Arena in Oakland in
front of several hundred fans
who still remember the club’s
better days, when Nelson
coached Tim Hardaway,

Trojans’ basketball player
Brynn Cameron
dated
Matt Leinart while the two
attended USC.
Leinart
to be a
father
LOS
ANGELES
—
Southern California basketball player Brynn Cameron
will miss the upcoming season because she is expecting a
baby with Arizona Cardinals
quarterback Matt Leinart,
according to her father.
Cameron is due to deliver a
boy in November, Stan
Cameron told the Ventura
County Star for Wednesday’s
editions.
Cameron, a 20-year-old
junior guard, and Leinart
dated while he attended USC.
He graduated in December
and was drafted by the
Cardinals in April.
Asked Wednesday about
Cameron, Leinart said, “I’m
not going to comment.”
In the past, he has declined
comment on other personal
information. Cameron and
Leinart reportedly broke up
last year but still talk frequently, according to Stan
Cameron, who spoke to the
newspaper from out of state.
“Brynn does not want to
get married,” he said. “She
wants to finish school and let
Matt do his thing and then
figure it out.”
Cameron said his daughter,
who
graduated
from
Newbury Park High in
Ventura County, doesn’t want
to comment until after the
baby is born.
“It might not be the best
timing in the world, but we
are obviously very happy to
have a new baby in the family,” Stan Cameron said.
“Brynn just found out about a
month ago and told the team
on Monday.”
USC announced Tuesday
that Cameron would sit out
this season for undisclosed
personal reasons.
She averaged 9.8 points as
a freshman starter for USC
but appeared in only 13
games last season after undergoing a second surgery on her
hip.
“Once the baby is born,
she wants to get back to playing basketball again and finish school,” Stan Cameron
said. “I know Brynn will
make a great mom. Things
will be fine. It will be fun.”
On Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 5:30 p.m.
there will be a UHS athletic booster
meeting in the Career Center, located
in the “A” Building. The agenda will

Quarterback Gibran Hamdan was awarded to San
Franciso off waivers from Seattle.
Handam’s story
stretches the globe
By Roger Phillips
ANG Newspapers
SANTA CLARA – Ever
since breaking into the NFL
in 2003, Gibran Hamdan has
known adversity, football
style.
He hasn’t played. He’s
gotten cut. He’s bounced
around. He’s been hurt.
Wednesday, the 25-year-old
quarterback was awarded to
the San Francisco 49ers off
waivers from Seattle. Final
roster cuts, however, are
Saturday, so who knows
where he’ll be Sunday?
But
considering
Hamdan’s background, it is
understandable that he seems
unfazed by what has thus far
been a decidedly unsettling
professional lifestyle.
In 1991, he and his family
were vacationing in San
Diego, where Hamdan had
been born nearly 10 years
earlier. Back home in
Kuwait, Iraq was mounting
the invasion that led to the
first Gulf War.
The family lost everything
and faced daunting prospects
in the United States. It took
Hamdan’s father, Latif, six
months to gain government
clearance to work in his chosen field as a nuclear engineer. In the meantime, his
mother took a job at a
Fantastic Sams as a hairdresser to make ends meet.
“You’re too young to realize the ramifications of war
and what it does,” Hamdan
said, looking back on that
time. “I definitely took from
my father how he handled
the adversity and how positive he is.’’
The life in Kuwait before
the war became little more
than a fond memory.
“Before the war, it was a
very affluent environment, a
lot of money,” Hamdan said.
“It was great. That’s where I
grew up. I have very fond
memories of elementary
school.’’
In the aftermath of the
war, the family moved to the
Washington area. His father
got a job with the Nuclear
Regulatory
Commission.
And eventually, Hamdan
developed into a pretty good
football player – good
enough to play college football at Indiana and to be chosen by the Washington
Redskins in the seventh
round of the NFL Draft in
2003.
But a legitimate opportunity in the NFL has been
hard to come by.
Hamdan spent most of
2003 on the Redskins’ practice squad, though he did get
a very brief opportunity to
play late that season. In 2004
and 2005, however, he failed
to make so much as an NFL
practice squad. He spent
2004 as an assistant coach on
the staff of former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh at the
University of San Diego.
Last year, he worked as a
personal trainer at a gym in
suburban Seattle.
“It’s a story that doesn’t
get told,” Hamdan said.
“Everybody hears about the
glitz and glamour of being an
NFL quarterback.’’
But earlier this year,
Hamdan was the Most
Valuable Player in NFL
Europe while playing for the
Amsterdam Admirals.
He spent almost all of this
summer with the Seahawks,
but played only 4 minutes in
the preseason, and was
waived by Seattle on
Monday.
Now, the 6-foot-4, 220pound Hamdan has relocated
once again, though it
remains to be seen how he
will fit in with the 49ers. He
could be on the practice
squad. He could be on the
active roster. He could be
released.
Still, he made a good
impression Wednesday with
his arm, heaving a beautifully thrown 50-yard pass that
was snared by diving receiver Otis Amey.
“I can wing it,” said
Hamdan, who was named
after the Lebanese writer
Khalil Gibran. “Obviously
it’s going to be a big process
learning the offense.’’
That’s provided he gets
the chance. Coach Mike
Nolan said it is unlikely
Hamdan will play Friday
when the 49ers close the preseason against visiting San
Diego.
Hamdan, however, said he
is itching for a chance to
show what he can do. Starter
Alex Smith and backup Trent
Dilfer don’t figure to play
much, which leaves Hamdan
hoping for a chance to get
into the game after thirdstringer Shaun Hill.
“If they want to throw me
in the game,” Hamdann said,
“I’m running in and I’m
throwing the ball around.’’
EXTRA POINTS: Nolan
was asked to explain why the
49ers have left themselves
$10 million below the NFL’s
$102-million salary cap. In
answer to a question, Nolan
said it is not due to budgetary
restrictions imposed by
owner John York. Instead,
the 49ers have put themselves in position to extend
the contracts of their young
and improving players
before they reach free
agency. Nolan indicated that
it was the past failure to
extend the contracts of linebackers Julian Peterson and
Andre Carter that left those
players in a position to leave
as unrestricted free agents
this past off-season.

Nelson was the last coach
to lead Golden State to the
playoffs in 1994. The
Warriors have endured 12
straight losing seasons since
his departure, and they failed
to make any significant personnel improvements to last
season’s 34-48 club under
Mike Montgomery, who was
abruptly dismissed Tuesday.
But Nelson saw an opportunity in Golden State big
enough to lure him out of a
comfortable routine at his
home in Hawaii and his sports
bar in downtown Dallas.
With
his
unorthodox
coaching methods — and a
vow to improve his team’s
defense, just as he promised
every season with the highscoring Mavericks — he’s
ready to fix another moribund
club.
“I still have the passion,
and I think we have the talent
here,” Nelson said. “I like this
team. ... There’s nobody better
at playing small-ball than me.
I know how to do that. There’s
a lot of positives here, and
many of them happen to be
smaller players.”
Jason Richardson and Mike
Dunleavy attended the press
conference
along
with
Richmond and Higgins, who
teamed with Hardaway as the
core of the Warriors’ still-

homers and 38 RBIs since the
All-Star break. “We strayed
away from that for a while.”
The Braves began the night
four games behind in the
crowded wild-card race, hardly a daunting margin but complicated by the fact that seven
teams were ahead of them.
But Smoltz, the team’s best
pitcher, will pitch the series
finale Thursday and try to
give the Braves their longest
winning streak on one homestand all season.
For now, they’ve matched a
four-game sweep of the
Florida Marlins from May 1518.
“I think we’ve got a lot of
momentum going,” said
Chuck James, who held the
Giants to six hits in seven
innings for his third straight
win. “And we’ve got Smoltzie
going tomorrow. I think we’re
going to get it rolling here and
give ourselves a shot at the
wild card.”
patience,” said Pierce, a finalist here last year.
“There’s not much you can
do, and there’s not a lot of
places you can go. I just try to
stay in the locker room, make
sure that I drink, make sure
that I eat, rest, take naps, listen to music, read, maybe
make some phone calls or
send some text messages. Just
wait.”
Tuesday began with a 3
1/2-hour
rain
delay.
Mauresmo and Kristina
Barrois of Germany played
for about 20 minutes, left the
court for less than 10, then
resumed for another 40.
Lleyton Hewitt, the 2001 U.S.
Open champion, and Albert
Montanes of Spain also went
on and off before Montanes
pulled away after a foot injury
to Hewitt.
Mauresmo, who failed to
win any of her first 31 Grand
Slam tournaments and now
has won two of the past three,
took the first set 6-1, but
Barrois was leading 5-2 in the
second.
beloved “Run T-M-C” clubs
with their plain blue uniforms
and exciting style.
They made three of Golden
State’s four playoff appearances under Nelson, who went
277-260 in his first 6 1/2 seasons in Oakland. Nelson has
never reached the NBA finals
as a coach, but has revitalized
three losing franchises in his
coaching career.
“The change is great,” said
Richardson, who had minor
knee surgery earlier in the
month. “To have a coach of
that caliber is going to help
this team out a whole lot.
Monty is a great guy, but
Nellie has experience.”
Nelson, a three-time NBA
coach of the year, has 1,190
victories in a career that
includes stops in Milwaukee,
New York and Dallas, where
he led the Mavs’ revival.
“I am excited that Nellie is
back coaching,” said Avery
Johnson, Nelson’s groomed
successor who won the NBA’s
coach of the year award while
leading Dallas to the NBA
finals last season.
“We knew he could not
stay away very long. With him
at the helm, it gives the
Warriors a great chance to get
back to the playoffs. I want to
thank him for all the ways he
has helped me.”
The move represents a
change in course for Mullin,
who promised big offseason
moves and repeatedly said
Montgomery would be back
this fall after his second
straight 34-48 season in
Golden State.
Mullin, who hasn’t made
any significant personnel
changes, even laughed at suggestions he was unhappy with
the longtime Stanford coach.
“The major change was
Nellie’s availability and his
desire,” Mullin said. “Once
those things changed, I
thought there wasn’t a better
person for the job. I can’t
think of a person I’m more
confident in, that would be
better to lead this team, than
Nellie.”
Warriors owner Chris
Cohan sat in the front row
Wednesday night, smiling at
the return of the coach he sued
when Nelson accepted a job
with the Knicks after leaving
Golden State in February
1995.
“It was never bitter,”
Nelson said with a laugh. “I
had some of Chris’ money,
and he wanted it. (The dispute) ended with that, and it’s
been a great relationship ever
since.”
Nelson agreed to a threeyear deal, though he could see
himself coaching the Warriors
even longer. He’s still working on his coaching staff,
though it won’t include his
son, Mavericks executive
Donnie Nelson.
Nelson also was the
Warriors’ general manager
during his first tenure, and he
controlled the Mavericks’ personnel decisions for much of
his tenure in Dallas. But
Mullin will stay in charge this
time around.
The rookie James (7-3)
kept Barry Bonds from doing
any damage by hitting the 42year-old slugger in the back
with a pitch and walking him
twice. The previous night,
Bonds had his first two-homer
game in two years.
“That’s not what I had in
mind,” said James, who was
stared down after plunking
Bonds in the first. “I’ve
thought about facing him ever
since I was a little kid. I got
caught up in that and overthrew it a little bit.”
LaRoche tied the game at 2
in the fourth with the second
of his three doubles. He did
even more damage in the
sixth,
driving
Brad
Hennessey’s final pitch into
the right-field corner for a
triple that drove in two runs.
“He’s hot right now,”
Hennessey said. “When
you’re hot, things go your
way. He does a good job of
putting the ball in play.”
LaRoche wound up scoring

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Stanford
wants
new
identity
By Glenn Reeves
ANG Newspapers
Stanford has been ahead of
the learning curve on offense
whenever it has gone through
periods of football success.
That was the case with John
Ralston’s Rose Bowl teams in
the early 1970s, when Bill
Walsh got his first head
coaching job in the late
1970s, and in a slightly different manner when Tyrone
Willingham took the Cardinal
to its last Rose Bowl appearance in 2000.
By the time Willingham
came along the character of
college football had changed.
When a smash-mouth emphasis on defense and the ground
game were the norm, Stanford
gained an advantage with the
pass.
By the turn of the century
the rest of college football
had caught up. Spread offenses abounded. Teams throughout the formerly conservative
midwest and south _ teams
often with superior pure athleticism _ were playing a
wide-open brand of offense.
That’s the environment
confronting second-year head
coach Walt Harris as Stanford
prepares to open the 2006
season at Oregon. The big
question is, how can Stanford
best dig itself out from four
consecutive losing seasons?
Harris might do well to follow Willingham’s model: an
emphasis on funadmentals
and mistake-free execution to
get the most out of a balanced
offense and respectable
defense.
“We’re still trying to trying
to find out who we are, establish our program, establish
our discipline,’’ Harris said.
Stanford needs to improve
on offense as soon as possible. There’s a grace period in
the relation between Stanford
and its fans as the team moves
into a new stadium. But in the
long view, Stanford fans can
tolerate a .500 season a lot
easier if the team is entertaining and plays high-scoring
football. Those are qualities
that have been in short supply
of late.
The Cardinal scored 269
points last year for Harris and
averaged 218 points over the
three Buddy Teevens seasons.
Compare that with the 418
scored in the last Rose Bowl
year and the 422 scored in the
2001 Seattle Bowl season.

Ukiah Senior Center offering piano
classes
Class piano instruction is again being offered to both beginning and returning students. Lessons are held on Monday mornings between 9 a.m. and noon at the Senior Center, 495 Leslie
St., in Carter Hall. The classes are one half-hour in length and
there are currently four levels of classes, so students will be able
to start in a class suitable for their needs.
Songs that appeal to older adults and senior citizens are studied. Participants will learn to recognize 12 to 15 notes for the
right hand and the left hand plays chords by reading single letters about the staff. Students will also learn to understand and
feel rhythm patterns. Music read is printed in large print on
loose-leaf papers.
For more information, contact the Senior Center at 462-4343,
or sign up at the front desk in Bartlett Hall.
Ukiah Players Theatre
announces its 30th season
Ukiah Players Theatre has announced its 30th Anniversary
Season. The actual “birthday party” will be in the summer of
2007, 30 years after a tiny band of players began performing at
the Ukiah Municipal Clubhouse, Palace Hotel Ballroom, and
the (then) newly constructed Low Gap Park Amphitheatre. The
Ukiah Playhouse on Low Gap Road opened in November 1982,
built by UPT with generous donations of money, materials and
labor from the community.
The first show of this new season is the September 1-3
Second Stage production of two new one act plays by local
authors: “The Henry Sharpe Inversion” written by Bill Webster,
directed by Marji Artlip; and “Jake Savage, Jungle PI” written
by Jody Gehrman and David Wolf, directed by Maria Monti.
The Main Stage season begins with “Arsenic And Old Lace”
opening Sept. 28 for a four-week run. Written by Joseph
Kesselring and directed by Alan Kaplan, “Arsenic” was last
performed at UPT as the season opener in 1984. This classic
black comedy goes beyond eccentricity to glorious lunacy. The
gentle Brewster sisters populate their cellar with the remains of
socially and religiously “acceptable” roomers. One of their
brothers thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and the other -- well, let’s
just say that the play is gleeful and manic -- one big chuckle
from start to finish.
The Season continues with Second Stage and Reading Series
shows interspersed between Main Stage productions, which
include “Little Women” (Nov. 17 to Dec. 10), “Humble Boy”
(Jan. 18 -- Feb. 3), “Greater Tuna” (March 15 -- March 31),
“Over The Tavern” (May 10 -- May 26), and “Urinetown” (July
19 -- Aug. 11).
Season Tickets are on sale now, and offer the lowest ticket
prices and the only way to be sure of seats to all the shows. For
more information about the 30th Season, Main Stage, Second
Stage and Reading Series, please contact the Ukiah Players
Theatre box office at 462-9226.

Living with someone who refuses to get
help, regardless of the condition, is a
challenge. Because the development of
hearing loss is typically a slow process,
you probably are having people slowly
help you compensate. This sets up
potentially fertile environment for
strained family relationships. Your negligence or unwillingness to help yourself
may be seen as a selfish act. Of course
you’re entitled to expect others not to
speak to you from another room, or in

North Coast Artists’ Guild presents this
year’s Studio Discovery Tour coming
Have you seen the new Studio Discovery Tour Brochure yet?
Page after colorful page of wonderful artwork shows the wide
variety of art and exceptional talent that will be on display as
the North Coast Artists’ Guild presents it 14th annual tour to be
held the first two weeks in September.
This year’s Studio Discovery Tour has drawn 40 outstanding
artists who will open their creative studios to the public. “This
year we have exceptional artists and a great preview display at
Spindrift Gallery in Cypress Village, where new brochures can
be picked up”, says tour director Marianne Baxter. “The excitement is growing!”
Every year, new artists join the tour, keeping the experience
fresh and full of surprises. One exceptional highlight this year Tony Sheets, son of famous local artist Millard Sheets will be
on hand - showing his watercolors, acrylics and sculptures with
fine watercolor artist Susan Routledge at Barking Rocks in
Anchor Bay. Many more intriguing artists from potters and jewelers, weavers and paper workers to painters, sculptors and
wood turners are participating. Another interesting note: a
record 17 Sea Ranch artists will be opening their studios this
year. “We’re very excited by the energy and talent local artists
are bringing to the tour this year,” says Baxter. “Our community can look forward to the influx of art lovers who have discovered the tour is quite an adventure, each studio different, each
artist unique. “
This year’s Studio Discovery Tour will be held Labor Day
weekend and the weekend after. Completely free, it is a selfguided tour along Highway 1 from Kruse Ranch, Sea Ranch,
Gualala, Anchor Bay, Point Arena, Albion and Little River. Art
lovers can view working studios and demonstrations, buy original art and meet the artists in person each day from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. “Mark your calendar for September 2 and 3 and
September 9 and 10, says Baxter. “It’s going to be a lot of fun
this year!” The tour got a fresh start with anew competition for
the brochure coyer. “For the first time ever, we had jurors
choose the art pieced to be displayed on this year’s brochure
cover, “ explains Baxter, “The big surprise? Three artists tied
for first place and will be featured on the cover.” Those pieces
as well as one from every other artist will be available to preview at Spindrift Gallery in Cypress Village during the tour.
Free brochures with detailed map and descriptions of each artist
can be requested by e-mail [email protected], or to preview
artists or download the brochure, go to www.studio-tours.com.

Before getting involved in
a new, large endeavor in the
year ahead, first make the
ones that you’ve been working on yield a success. You
are much closer to the finish
line than you may realize.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- When it comes to
financial or commercial
affairs, your evaluations are
likely to be much more
accurate than those of your
associates; so listen to them,
but follow your own counsel.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- The answer you are
seeking could flash through
your mind as to how you can
constructively rejuvenate a
situation that seemed to
have lost its luster. Give it a
go.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- In addition to your
own motivation and initiative, you’re also likely to
have something else going
for you over which you have
no control. Success seems to
be in the picture.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Of course, it
is quite important you do not
lose track of your immediate
concerns, but it might also
be wise to take some time to
start looking ahead a bit. Be
farsighted in your efforts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- It’s a good day to
remember that “if at first
you don’t succeed, try, try
again.” Should you be
denied success at your first
go-around, use persistence

and determination to see it
through.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- There is no need
to try to dodge difficult decision-making, because your
abilities to do so are better
than usual at this time. Your
judgment is more likely to
be better than that of others.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Even though you
might have some additional
problems with which to contend, they will not be insurmountable or unmanageable.
Set your mind to handling
whatever comes along.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Although your attitude
tends to be gregarious and
easygoing, you can also
become quite serious and

responsible when situations
warrant it. Your flexibility
will impress onlookers.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Try to devote your
time and effort on situations
that can offer advantages for
you in the material sense,
because this is where you’ll
be at your best. You’ve got a
head for numbers.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Associates with whom
you have dealings will
greatly appreciate the fact
that you do not take your
promises or commitments
lightly. If you say you’ll do
something, consider it done.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Your financial picture
looks quite bright and
promising, so dwell in this
area. Profitable developments could ensue from both
your efforts and those initiated by others.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You could be fortunate in
two important interests.

Mother should be cautious with daughter around grandpa
Dear Annie: I am concerned about my
father-in-law’s behavior toward my 3-year-old
daughter, his only grandchild.
“Al” is a kind man, but he is not physically
affectionate with his wife of 30 years or with
his only child, my husband. Nor have I seen
him be affectionate with other friends or relatives. He can’t, however, seem to keep his
hands off my daughter.
My mother-in-law thinks it is endearing that
Al is so smitten with his grandchild. I’m not so
sure. Al is constantly stroking her arms or hair
and trying to get her to sit on his lap. On several occasions, he seemed to be working a little too hard to get her alone by asking her to
show him a new toy or doll in a different room.
He even took her out of my house once, without my permission or knowledge, while I was
helping my mother-in-law in the kitchen.
Last week, I caught Al giving my daughter a
kiss on the back of the neck. My gut tells me
that I need to keep an eye on him. Are there red

flags to watch for? Should I alert my husband?
-- Don’t Want To Be Naive
Dear Not Naive: Does Grandpa watch child
pornography? Does he encourage your child to
keep secrets? Has he exposed himself to her,
even “accidentally”? Does he ever watch her
undress? Those are some of the signs to watch
for. Even if you haven’t witnessed any of these,
we say when it comes to your child, trust your
gut.
It’s quite possible that Grandpa simply
adores his new granddaughter, but if he keeps
luring her out of your sight, you’d best watch
him closely, and yes, tell your husband about
your concerns. For more information, contact

Dear Annie: I am a female and definitely
attracted to men, but until I met “Sam,” I never
realized how much I hate the feel of body hair
against my skin. My first boyfriend was a
swimmer who shaved his body, and my second
was an Asian man with little hair and smooth
skin. I think Sam is the one man I want to
spend the rest of my life with, but his body is
just so hairy. Worse, Sam likes to cuddle. But
when he says he likes the feel of my baby-soft
skin, I want to scream because I’d like to feel
that, too.
I am afraid to discuss this with Sam. All my
girlfriends say I just need to get used to the
hair. Is there something wrong with me? -Chandler, Ariz.
Dear Chandler: No. Many people have an
aversion to body hair. You can try acclimating
yourself, over time, by thinking about the hair
more positively (it’s soft, it’s masculine, it
belongs to the man you love, you can live with
it). Or discuss it with him. If Sam’s hair is
excessive, he might be amenable to trimming,
shaving or using a depilatory if you tell him it
makes your nose itch when you rest your head
on his chest. (Waxing is asking a lot.)
Otherwise, you are faced with the bottom line
-- is Sam willing to get rid of the hair, or will
you have to get rid of Sam?
Dear Annie: This is for “Healthy in
Virginia,” whose husband suffers from chronic
pain and is always angry. Perhaps his anger and
rudeness are caused by his medications. My
husband has been off and on prescription drugs
for some time, but when he is “on,” his mood
changes dramatically and he lashes out at me
without even realizing it. Our grown children
have seen these bursts of anger and wonder
what has happened to their father.
Once I realized it was the medicine talking
and not my dear, sweet husband, I was able to
understand. You were right to tell her to have
the doctor look at his meds. Some good drugs
can have bad effects. -- Been There
Dear Been There: Thanks for the backup.
Has your husband talked to his doctor about
putting him on something without this side
effect? Please look into it.

Gleaners
midday hours gleaning pears
and apples from an old
orchard on The Flower Farm
in Willits owned by Laurel
Morris and Marilyn Manning.
This 40-acre orchard was
planted many, many years
ago and is now intermingled
within a forest and has not
been harvested regularly for
quite sometime. It has not
been sprayed with pesticides
or pruned and has been
allowed to grow naturally for
more than 40 years and this is
the type of fruit Grateful
Gleaners is looking for.
“We harvest really all
types of fruit,” said Marilyn
Boosinger, a Gleaner team
leader. “We take advantage of
everything that is being
offered to us, and hopefully
the stuff is not sprayed and
most of it is organic.”
“Most of it is only touched
by bears,” said Wolfgang
Ronnefeldt, one of the
Gleaner team members.
“Today actually we should
pick about 600 pounds of
produce,” Gridley said. “We
are actually looking for more
gleaners to help be team
leaders in Ukiah. We already
have quite a few here in
Willits.”
There are many reasons
why people glean produce
and other types of food, and
many of the Grateful
Gleaners do so because they
want to help needy people in
Officer Mark McNelley.
McNelley testified that he was
westbound in a CHP patrol car
on Branscomb Road when he
saw a white Mazda Miata
which had sustained damage
to its right-front fender eastbound.
McNelley had been involved
in the search for a vehicle of
that description the previous
night in connection with the
attack on Simon.
McNelley testified that he
made a U-turn and activated his
lights and sirens in an attempt
to stop the vehicle and notified
the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office that he was in pursuit. The Miata, which was later
found to be driven by Peacock,
accelerated to 60 mph and
McNelley gave chase.
As the Miata neared the Laytonville school, McNelley testified he saw Peacock swerve
toward the right shoulder of the
road and throw an object out
the passenger side window.
After this the Miata slowed
and came to a stop in the parking lot of Foster’s Market, and
Peacock followed police and
sheriff’s orders to get out of the
car and surrender.
Once Peacock was under

Ralph Simon, executive director of the California Nations
Indian Gaming Association,
which promotes Indian gaming among California tribes.
Simon did not discuss the
Coyote Valley case specifically, but said in general that
tribes have had long experience handling money in the
form of federal tribal funding
for housing, education and
other reservation activities
over the years. Those funds
always came with strict standards and guidelines on the
spending and accounting of
them, Simon said.
Casino funding is in concept no different, he said.

their local community.
“It’s in my genes,”
Ronnefeldt said while pulling
on his jeans. “I was born in
WWII in Germany, and there
was nothing to eat man. My
family lived in refugee
camps, and things were
rough.
“There was nothing, so we
went gleaning and went to
farmers and to potato fields
and even picked berries off
bushes. And as a kid it was
fun.”
“But now I do it because
there is still part of me that is
alive when I do this,”
Ronnefeldt said. “You cannot
waste food.”
“If we didn’t harvest this
produce, this food would
otherwise go to waste, and
now it is going to good use,”
Boosinger said. “I also just
like being outdoors.”
“In so many ways gleaning
connects people and land
owners to their local
communities,” said Jason
Bradford, a research scientist,
community activist and
Gleaner team member. “It

“It’s a matter of the magnitude, of having more money,”
he suggested, noting that with
millions in casino profits also
comes more personnel and
more activity. “This is mainly
an issue of what happens to
casino money after it goes to
the tribe.”
According to Simon, there
are only five things a tribe can
spend casino profits on: tribal
government services and programs; tribal welfare programs, economic development, donations to charitable
causes and local government
agency operations (say, helping fund the services of the
local sheriff’s department
because of activity at the casino).
The tribe and its council,
however, have some discretion in how they define those
activities.
In the indictments handed
down in this case, political
donations were among the
unauthorized expenditures.
Simon said a tribe might try to
interpret such spending as part
of its definition of general
tribal welfare, for instance,
but such interpretations would
be limited and would in any
case need to be made as a
whole tribe.
He added however, that it
has been critical for tribes to
engage in politics at the state
and federal level. Until gaming funds became available,
Simon said, tribes have had
little ability to send people to
Washington or Sacramento to
lobby in their own interests.
“The tribes need to participate in the federal and state
arena. Historically the tribes
have been subjected to policies by other governments,”
he said.
Simon said most tribes in
California have not had the
kind of experience following
the initiation of casino gambling on their reservations that
Coyote Valley has. He said too
that there are lots of programs,
workshops and courses which
tribal members use and share
in accounting practices and
other related activities to try to
keep the influx of casino cash
on the up and up.
The Shodakai Casino itself
was not part of the investigation at Coyote Valley, and
indictments only concerned
funds that flowed to the tribal
council from the casino, not
within the casino itself.

The other six defendants -- former Tribal
Chairwoman Priscilla Hunter, former Tribal
Historian Michael Hunter, former Tribal
Vice-Chairwoman Iris Martinez, former
Tribal Secretary Darlene Crabtree and former Tribal Council Members-at-Large Allan
Crabtree and Fred Naredo -- were reportedly unable to retain attorneys and have not
entered pleas.
Those six will appear in court Sept. 6 for
an identification of counsel hearing.
All defendants will appear before Federal
Court Judge Susan Illiston on Sept. 8 for a

relationships and promotes
people interaction. I really
think that this is a brilliant
concept.
“While right now gleaning
here is not commercially
viable, there are many future
possibilities if communities
can come together,” he said.

Briefly
James’ 87-year-old mother discovered his body. When officers
went to Edington’s home, they found
him standing by his kitchen sink with
what appeared to be blood on him,
and a large kitchen knife next to him.
Pay
Horsley said in addition to
attending semimonthly council
meetings,
councilmembers
serve on various boards and
committees, and prepare for
meetings by reading oftenlengthy agenda packets. She
noted that one self-admittedly
slow-reading councilmember
told her he spent between 20
and 30 hours a week doing the
job.
According to agenda materials, the pay raise is essentially a
cost-of-living increase, which
by law, cannot exceed 5 percent
per year since the last such
adjustment.
While the agenda summary
report prepared for the council
meeting showed figures reaching up to a 5 percent raise per
year since the last rate change -approximately $573 a month
for councilmembers -- the
largest rate hike the council
considered was a 2 percent
raise for each year, or a total
raise of 8 percent.
The suggestion came from
Councilwoman Mari Rodin,
who also offered that any councilmember, if he or she so
desired, could opt to forgo any
payment, an idea strongly supported by Ashiku.
Ashiku said he felt service
on the City Council should be
strictly voluntary. Following
. the meeting, he explained that
arrest, McNelley said he
returned to where he saw the
object thrown from the car fall.
He testified that he found what
appeared to be a handgun
wrapped in a plastic grocery
bag.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Matt Kendall
testified that he identified the
weapon as a .22 caliber Ruger
semi-automatic handgun, the
same caliber of weapon used in
the attack on Simon.
During cross-examination,
McNelley testified he did not
write a police report about the
incident because it was a Sheriff’s Office case. He testified
Wednesday from his own recollection.
McNelley also said he did
not radio anyone to tell them
that he had seen the driver of
the Miata throw anything out of
the car.
McNelley said he didn’t
know why he didn’t use the
radio but upon reflection said
he may have been worried that
someone listening in on a
police scanner might drive by
and pick up the item while officers were involved in the pursuit of Peacock.
McNelley is the only witness
who saw anything thrown out
of the car.
Further testimony in this
case will be heard today.

Boy Scout and Cub Scout troop
leaders probably put in more
hours than councilmembers and
yet do it for free because “it’s
the honorable thing to do.”
While the Fiscal Year 20062007 Budget, approved in late
July, only took into account the
current $471 per month per
councilmember, Horsley said
the increase is so minimal that
the budget will hardly be
impacted, and may not even
need to be amended to reflect
the change.
