Three supervisorssay the tax breaksets bad precedentBy KATIE MINTZThe Daily Journal

The Mendocino County Board ofSupervisors denied the county’s firstapplication to put land into agricul-tural preserve for wildlife habitat

protection last week.Peter Gruchawka and Nancy

Summers-Gruchawka, owners ofapproximately 162 acres located ninemiles southeast of Hopland, appliedunder the Williamson Act to put theirland, described as an area that sup-ports a wide array of terrestrial, avianand aquatic species by theDepartment of Fish and Game, inType III Agricultural Preserve.

The Williamson Act -- also known

as the California Land ConservationAct of 1965 -- is used by local gov-ernments to enter into contracts withprivate landowners to restrict parcelsof land for agricultural purposes.Agricultural preserves must be atleast 100 acres, and the minimumterm for a contract is 10 years.

In return for putting land in agri-cultural preserve, landowners

Board denies first open space preserve request

Freezereliefoffered by SBAThe Daily Journal

Mendocino County is oneof the areas where the U.S.Small BusinessAdministration is makinglow-interest loans available tosmall businesses that sufferedfinancial losses due toJanuary’s freeze damage tocrops.

The action, made by SBAAdministrator StevenPreston, was in response to aJan. 22 request from Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger todeclare a disaster due to thefreezing temperatures thataffected crops beginning Jan.11.

Schwarzenegger estimatedthat financial loss to theindustry will likely exceed $1billion.

“We look forward to work-ing with small business own-ers who were affected by thesevere freeze to make SBAdisaster loans available totheir small businesses,”Preston said.

The declaration covers 40California counties, includingMendocino, three counties inArizona and one in Nevada.

It makes low-interestEconomic Injury DisasterLoans available to small, non-farm businesses who havesuffered financial losses dueto the freeze itself or due tofreeze damage to crops.

Mendocino CountyAgricultural CommissionerDave Bengston said earlierthis month that the burgeon-ing olive crop would be thehardest hit in MendocinoCounty, since olive trees,unlike grapes and pears, areactive in the winter.

Eligible small businessesinclude those that do businessdirectly with growers or otheragricultural producers such aspacking houses, truckers andsuppliers of agriculturalequipment or services.

Owners of small business-es whose customers aredependent on agriculturalincome, such as diners, gasstations and markets may alsoapply for these disaster loans.

According to Alfred Judd,director of SBA’s DisasterField Operations Center-West, working capital loansof up to $1.5 million at aninterest rate of 4 percent withterms up to 30 years are avail-able.

“These loans may be usedto pay fixed debts, payroll,accounts payable and otherbills that can’t be paidbecause of the disaster’simpact,” Judd said. “Theloans also can provide vital

The Eureka Times-StandardREDWAY -- Even as the

Mateel Community Centerprepared for a fund-raisingbenefit, the controversy sur-rounding its most popularevent, Reggae on the River,was stirred anew late lastweek.

First, Dimmick Ranch --where the huge event was heldlast summer -- announced thatit was terminating its leasebecause the Mateel hadbreached its agreement by fir-ing People Productions as pro-

ducers. Instead, according to apress release, PeopleProductions would host a reg-gae festival in August 2007 atDimmick Ranch and atFrench’s Camp.

At about the same time,

stunned officials at the Mateelmade public a letter from anaccountant hired to indepen-dently audit PeopleProductions’ 2005 books. Theauditor said there were somany irregularities and unan-

swered questions that shecould not render a decisionabout the company’s finances.She hinted that millions ofdollars may be unaccountedfor.

Taunya Stapp, executive

director of the Mateel, said thecenter had been “shocked” atthe legal action by ranchowner Tom Dimmick, espe-cially with mediation effortspending. But she said, “Letthere be no doubt about it --we have a valid contract, andthere will be a Reggae on theRiver in 2007.”

From modest beginnings24 years ago, Reggae on theRiver draws more than 15,000revelers to campsites along

Bartlett Hall will reopen this weekend afterbeing closed for remodeling for the last three weeks.

By LAURA MCCUTCHEONThe Daily Journal

Volunteers on Monday added the finishing touches to the UkiahSenior Center’s Bartlett Hall, during the final phase of a year-longrenovation project.

The hall, which has been closed the last few weeks while dam-aged flooring was replaced, will reopen this weekend.

“Floors were so bad the tiles were coming up,” Ukiah SeniorCenter Executive Director Brenda Christian said Monday, stand-ing on the newly installed linoleum.

But flooring wasn’t all that was replaced during the remodel,made possible by Prop 40 funds.

Early on in the project the entire building -- inside and out --received a fresh coat of paint and a new automatic front door wasinstalled at the entrance to Bartlett Hall. Windows were put in,

The Mateel board requested the audit of the 2005 festival because ofshortfalls in anticipated proceeds. In a letter dated Dec. 8, threeweeks before People Productions’ contract was terminated, CPADeborah K. Brooks told the board she found numerous examples of inadequate procedures for safeguarding assets.

Bush: U.S. will befirm with Iran

WASHINGTON (AP) —Deeply distrustful of Iran,President Bush said Monday“we will respond firmly” ifTehran escalates its militaryactions in Iraq and threatensAmerican forces or Iraqi citi-zens.

Bush’s warning was the lat-est move in a bitter and morepublic standoff between theUnited States and Iran. TheWhite House expressed skep-ticism about Iran’s plans togreatly expand its economicand military ties with Iraq.The United States has accusedIran of supporting terrorism inIraq and supplying weapons tokill American forces.

“If Iran escalates its mili-tary actions in Iraq to the

detriment of our troops and -or innocent Iraqi people, wewill respond firmly,” Bushsaid in an interview withNational Public Radio.

The president’s commentsreinforced earlier statementsfrom the White House.

“If Iran wants to quit play-ing a destructive role in theaffairs of Iraq and wants toplay a constructive role, wewould certainly welcomethat,” National SecurityCouncil spokesman GordonJohndroe said. But, he said,“We’ve seen little evidence todate (of constructive activi-ties) and frankly all we haveseen is evidence to the con-trary.”

Nuke regulatorsquestion defensefrom air attacks

WASHINGTON (AP) —Making nuclear power plants

crash-proof to an airlinerattack by terrorists is impracti-cable and it’s up to the mili-tary to avert such an assault,the government said Monday.

The Nuclear RegulatoryCommission, in a revisedsecurity policy, directednuclear plant operators tofocus on preventing radiationfrom escaping in case of suchan attack and to improve evac-uation plans to protect publichealth and safety.

“The active protectionagainst airborne threats isaddressed by other federalorganizations, including themilitary,” the NRC said in astatement.

The agency rejected callsby some nuclear watchdoggroups that the governmentestablish firm no-fly zonesnear reactors or that plantoperators build “lattice-like”barriers to protect reactors, orbe required to have anti-air-craft weapons on site to shoot

down an incoming plane.The NRC, in a summary of

the mostly secret securityplan, said such proposals wereexamined, but that it was con-cluded the “active protection”against an airborne threat restswith organizations such as themilitary or the FederalAviation Administration.

Iraqis say 200insurgents die inbattle near Najaf

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) —Iraqi officials said Mondaythat U.S.-backed Iraqi troops

had targeted a messianic cultcalled “Soldiers of Heaven” ina weekend battle that left 200fighters dead, including thegroup’s leader, near the Shiiteholy city of Najaf. A militarycommander said hundreds ofgunmen planned to disguisethemselves as pilgrims andkill clerics on the holiest dayof the Shiite calendar.

The Iraqi governmentspokesman, Ali al-Dabbagh,said the raid on Sunday wasaimed against the fringe Shiitecult that some Iraqi officialssaid had links to SaddamHussein loyalists.

A medical reasonfor grouchiness?

DEAR DR. GOTT: My wife has to urinate a lot. Sheis tired most of the time and has no desire to do anything.She’s too grouchy too often, doesn’t have much sexdrive, her ankles are swollen and she’s unusually puffyup to her waist.

She has mitral valve prolapse, but the doctor says it isof no danger to her health.

She eats a lot of salt and sugar but is really healthy.She is 44, weighs about 120 pounds and is 5 feet 4 inch-es tall. Could you tell me what could be wrong with her?Please answer soon. It’s driving me nuts.

DEAR READER: Fluid retention, called “edema,”can be the result of a variety of health issues, includingheart disease, kidney disorders, inappropriate salt con-sumption, vein blockage and others.

Your wife’s frequent urination and swelling of thelegs and lower body suggest that the kidneys are notclearing out excessive fluid, perhaps because of weakheart action, which could be worsened by excess salt inher diet.

I urge your wife to meet with her primary-care physi-cian for an exam, which should include an analysis of herlegs and heart, followed by appropriate blood tests tocheck for anemia, kidney failure and mineral levels.

Her doctor may choose to refer her to a specialist, anoption that I would endorse, depending on the lab find-ings. Also, some scanning procedures should be carriedout, such as a chest X-ray and possible CT scan.

Your wife’s edema should not be ignored. In additionto the appropriate medical follow-up that I have suggest-ed, she should place herself on a low-salt, low-sugar diet.This would include no table salt or salty foods, such asTV dinners, dill pickles, anchovies and junk food. Letme know what the testing shows and how this healthproblem is resolved.

DEAR DR. GOTT: You asked your readers torespond to any experience they have had with DigestiveAdvantage. Well, I wanted to let you know that I havesuffered with an irritable bowel for many years and havehad severe bouts of diarrhea. My husband read your arti-cle about an alternative treatment for IBS and showed itto me. We went to the drug store that day and purchaseda package of Digestive Advantage IBS. I took a pillimmediately. All I can say is Digestive Advantage IBS isa great product, because my diarrhea has stopped, and Iwish I’d known about Digestive Advantage IBS yearsago. It would have given me back a normal life insteadof one that always revolved around a bathroom.

Thank you ever so much for writing about DigestiveAdvantage IBS in your column. It has truly helped me.

DEAR READER: You’re welcome. Other readershave also experienced striking improvement with thisproduct.

To give you related information, I am sending you acopy of my Health Report “Irritable BowelSyndrome.” Other readers who would like a copyshould send a long, self-addressed, stamped envelopeand $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH44092. Be sure to mention the title.

HEALTH CALENDAR

By RACHEL KONRADThe Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO -- In TaraGuber’s ideal world, Americanchildren would meditate in thelotus position and chant inSanskrit before taking stressfulstandardized tests.

But when she asked a publicelementary school in Aspen,Colo., to teach yoga in 2002,Christian fundamentalists andeven some secular parents lob-bied the school board. Theyargued that yoga’s Hindu rootsconflicted with Christian teach-ings and that using it in schoolmight violate the separation ofchurch and state.

Portrayed as a New Age nutout to brainwash young minds,Guber crafted a new curriculumthat eliminated chanting andtranslated Sanskrit into kid-friendly English. Yogic pantingbecame “bunny breathing,” and“meditation” became “time in.”

“I stripped every piece ofanything that anyone couldvaguely construe as spiritual or

religious out of the program,”Guber said.

Now, more than 100 schoolsin 26 states have adopted

Guber’s “Yoga Ed.” programand more than 300 physical edu-cation instructors have beentrained in it.

Countless other public andprivate schools from Californiato Massachusetts -- including theAspen school where Guberclashed with parents -- are teach-ing yoga.

Teachers say it helps calmstudents with attention-deficitdisorder and may reduce child-hood obesity. The federal gov-ernment gives grants to gymteachers who complete a teachertraining course in yoga.

“I see a lot fewer disciplineproblems,” said Ruth Reynolds,principal of ColemanElementary School in SanRafael. Her observation of theschool’s six-year-old yoga pro-gram is that it helps easily dis-tracted children to focus.

“If you have children withADD and focusing issues, oftenit’s easy to go from that into a

As the New Year begins,dads, will you join me inresolving to forgive? Forgivewith immediacy? In LancasterCounty, Oct. 2, 2006 Mr.Charles Roberts, a husbandand father of three, killed fiveAmish girls ages 7-13 in theirone room schoolhouse.

Mr. Roberts, who was avery distraught man, took hisown life as the police brokeinto the schoolhouse.Following this horribletragedy, the Amish men spokevery briefly with the mediasaying, “Now we will begin toforgive.”

(The Amish people live aspeople lived in the UnitedStates in the 1800s. Theydress simply, and still usehorses and buggies. They askfor help from no one. They areChristians. They believe innon-violence in all aspects oflife).

Following the shootingsfunds poured in to help theAmish people. Yet the Amishalso set up a trust fund to edu-cate Mr. Robert’s three chil-dren. Seventy-five of theAmish people went to Mr.Roberts’ funeral, to comforthis wife and children. MoreAmish came than Mr.Roberts’ own people. Mrs.Roberts in a message to theAmish thanked them for theirsupport, love and mercy at atime when all were in shock.

A few nights later, theAmish men in the middle ofthe night went to tear downand destroy the blood stainedschool. They wanted nomemorial of this incident.

The story is shocking in itssimplicity, but clear in itsmessage. The immediacy of

forgiveness is a life and deathissue for all of us. (The abovestory was reported in theWinter 2007 issue of thenewsletter publication of theGood Samaritan Ministriestitled “ Along the Way,” byBettie Mitchell).

As for me, I can’t imaginethe grief these dads must havefelt immediately following thedeaths of their daughters. Forthem to say, “Now, we willbegin to forgive,” is a deepand profound response to theirlosses. Dads, please note theradical immediacy of theirresponse. They didn’t justifyremaining angry or rageful bythe violent wrongful deaths.Rather they made a choice tobegin to forgive, immediately.We might think to ourselves,this isn’t possible! They hadevery right to be angry andnot forgive Mr. Roberts of thishorrible act against their chil-dren. The Amish had everyright to not attend the funeral

Be it resolved

The Daily JournalPhoenix Certified Hospice of Mendocino

County will be providing training forprospective hospice volunteers this winter inthe Ukiah area.

The goal of hospice is to provide compas-sionate comfort care for patients with a life-limiting illness, so that they can experiencethe best quality of life in their homes withfamilies and friends for the remainder oftheir lives. The hospice volunteers are vitalmembers of the interdisciplinary team thatserves our patients and their families.

Volunteers provide respite care for prima-ry caregivers, they visit with hospicepatients, listening to their stories, telling sto-ries, doing various errands and tasks asneeded. Several of our volunteers are singersand provide musical entertainment forpatients and families. Hospice volunteers area wonderful, talented group of people. Theyoften express that they receive great emo-tional and spiritual benefits from their rela-tionships with hospice patients and families.

Phoenix Hospice is a Medicare certifiedhospice, which means that those individualsand families who wish to receive hospiceservices can utilize their Medicare HospiceBenefit. Many people are not aware of thissignificant benefit and its availability. Pain

management and symptom control is one ofthe major concerns in hospice comfort care.Under the Hospice Medicare Benefit 100

percent of the cost of patient’s pain medica-tions are covered. This is a very importantpart of the benefit, in light of the fact thatpharmaceuticals for pain management areextremely expensive and their costs continueto rise.

In keeping with the goal of supportingindependence and quality of life, hospicepatients do not need to be home bound.

The Hospice Medicare Benefit also paysfor 100 percent of the cost of medical equip-ment such as hospital beds, oxygen, wheel-chairs, etc. A hospice trained team of RNs,Home Health Aides, Social Workers,Chaplains, volunteers and other therapistsprovide quality services, attending to the fullrange of human needs that arise in end-of-life care. 24-hour on-call nursing servicesare available. Phoenix provides bereavementsupport for family and friends of hospicepatients for one year following the death oftheir loved one.

Many private health insurance packagesalso include a “Hospice Benefit.” They areoften very similar to the Medicare HospiceBenefit in provision of services and cover-age. A person wishing to use his or her pri-vate insurance hospice benefit is required to

The Ukiah Daily Journal

VIEWPOINTS

Even as they deny making any effort to influencehim, two of the closest friends and associates of Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger now are linked via their lawfirm to attempts at bringing super-expensive liquefiednatural gas (LNG) to California via a terminal plannedfor construction 14 miles off the coast of VenturaCounty.

On the surface, at least, it's a scene remarkably likeone that arose 27 years ago, when some of the closestfriends, family and associates of then-Gov., nowAttorney General, Jerry Brown tried to bring in LNGvia Pt. Conception on the Santa Barbara County coast.

Back then, a partnership of Pacific Gas & ElectricCo. and Pacific Lighting (later renamed SempraEnergy), the parent company of both the SouthernCalifornia Gas Co. and the San Diego Gas & ElectricCo., sought to bring LNG to California, swearing itwas the only way to prevent imminent shortages ofnatural gas. The project never happened, and no short-age ever ensued.

LNG is natural gas supercooled into a liquid state atits source and then carried by huge tankers to receivingterminals where it is rewarmed and inserted into exist-ing gas pipeline networks. Because of shipping costsand the huge facilities it requires, LNG's cost to con-sumers has usually been far higher than domestic nat-ural gas that arrives via interstate pipelines.

The LNG partnership of the late 1970s and early'80s hired Jerry Brown's father, ex-Gov. Edmund G.(Pat) Brown to sell Californians on the alleged needfor LNG, which at that time was to come fromIndonesia. The project's chief lobbyist was MickeyKantor, chairman of Jerry Brown's 1980 presidentialbid and his 1978 reelection campaign and laterPresident Bill Clinton's secretary of commerce. Kantorwas a partner in the law firm now known as Manatt,Phelps and Phillips.

Kantor actively lobbied for approvals by his closeassociate Jerry Brown and by Tom Quinn, the Browncampaign manager who at the time was chairman ofthe state's chief smog-fighting agency, the AirResources Board. If ever a project's approval wasgreased, this was it.

But a lawsuit by the Chumash Indian tribe held upthe project long enough for a worldwide glut of natur-al gas to occur, making the plan moot.

Now, the Australian energy giant BHP Billiton LLPseeks to bring LNG to California. Other LNG projectsare also lined up awaiting approval, but Billiton's isfarthest along.

And who would you guess Billiton hired to movethings along? You've got it -- Manatt, the same politi-cally connected firm that worked unsuccessfully forLNG in California almost 30 years ago.

This is merely a coincidence, insists George Kieffer,a 2006 campaign co-chair for Gov. ArnoldSchwarzenegger and the former personal attorney ofhis wife, Maria Shriver. Kieffer heads Manatt's gov-ernment and regulatory division and recently hiredSchwarzenegger's just-departed legislative secretary,Richard Costigan. His thumbnail biography on theManatt website says he "is regularly engaged toaddress major strategic legal and policy issues forbusinesses and public entities."

So once again, a company seeking to bring LNGand its huge unnecessary costs to California hires theManatt firm, which just happens to feature lawyersvery close to the sitting governor. Does this mean theproject is greased?

No, insists Kieffer. "I don't supervise any lawyersabout matters of Billiton," he says, adding that "I havenever spoken with the governor on LNG or Billiton.Never." Meanwhile, under state law Costigan can'tlobby Schwarzenegger on anything for at least 11 moremonths.

But Kieffer does "look at the performance of peo-ple" in his division, he says. And Costigan can lobbyofficials outside the governor's office on any matter hedid not pursue while in office.

All this means "The situation looks pretty parallel"to the early-'80s LNG lobbying effort, says TracyWesten, vice chairman and chief executive officer ofthe non-partisan Center for Governmental Studies. "Itdoesn't matter if he hasn't talked with the governor onthis. The governor knows what law firm he's with andwho their client is."

Kieffer insists that all Billiton really did was hire aManatt environmental lawyer. "They didn't know any-thing about me," he said.

Nevertheless, the appearance of a greased projectremains strong. Especially since closeSchwarzenegger aides have traveled to Australia andSouth America on junkets sponsored by Billiton orgroups with which it is affiliated.

Just another way that in California, the more thingschange, the more they stay the same.

Impeach nowTo the Editor:It is the obligation of all the peaceful

and cooperative people to rise up and con-quer tyranny non-violently through the leg-islature and through the courts. We needanother bus boycott like the Alabamablacks did in the 1960s. We need the popu-lar uprising to grow into a voice so loudthat even the politicians in Congress whopretend the king has on new clothes willwake up and see the truth. Democracymeans government by the people, so Wethe People must take back our democraticgovernment out of the hands of those whowish to strip our liberty and exploit us.

The first 100 hours campaign is naughtbut rhetoric if the Senate doesn’t join tomake these reforms into law. The slimDemocratic majority in the Senate couldchange at any moment if Senator Johnsonof South Dakota resigns. If so, then all thelegislation from the House would be sabo-taged in the Senate. Our Founding Fathershad an armed rebellion to fight off thetyranny of King George, and history seemsto repeat itself in various permutations.

The paramount issue facing Congressand the American people today is a fascist,anti-populist, thoroughly corrupt, manipu-lative executive branch that needs to beinvestigated and impeached. There is noother course of action more important atthis time than impeachment. Our FoundingFathers anticipated the possibility of thenew government evolving into tyranny, andthey provided impeachment into ourConstitution as the means to resolve it.Impeachment is Constitutional. Every per-son who is fed up with the loss of jobs andbenefits, increase in hate crimes and divi-sions among people, the rising level of vio-lence in our community, must tell your rep-resentative in the House, Mike Thompsonfor Ukiah, that you want to impeach now!

Faith restoredTo the Editor:I recently had my faith in the communi-

ty restored by a man of the name of RonCole. During Ukiah High School’s winterbreak, I lost my digital camera that I gotfor Christmas last year. I was devastated bythis, because I love taking pictures and atthat time I was having serious problemswith people and drama. You know, the highschool drama. So the loss of my camerajust made everything worse for me. Andwhen I lost all hope about finding it, Ichecked the lost and found at the highschool. And to my surprise, someone hadfound my $400 camera during my vaca-tion. This man was Ron Cole, and I amvery thankful to him for finding and givingback my camera. So because of thisepisode in my life, my faith in the thiscommunity has been restored.

The spirit is still thereTo the Editor:Well, I’m the local chapter of Habitat for

America’s Volunteer of the Year. For win-ning the award I got a little GoldenHammer tie pin, dinner, and a free trip -the offer of a ride home from Zac’s restau-rant. I couldn’t accept the free trip becauseI’d ridden my bicycle to Zac’s.

It’s like this with Habitat for America,the local chapter, anyway, Mendocino-Inland. I don’t know why. Or I do. I justdon’t believe it. So I never do. I neverquite believe I know why it is the localchapter of Habitat for America strugglesfor its very existence in and around Ukiah.Are land prices really that high? That’s

what we tell ourselves. For five years we’ve told ourselves that.

At last year’s annual dinner at Zac’s, Iremember Jim Lindstedt, ChapterPresident, saying exactly that: “If only thecost of land weren’t so gosh darn high,” hesaid, “we could maybe get ourselves some-thing to build on, maybe put someone in ahouse or two this time next year or the yearafter.” But with land prices so gosh darnhigh...

I’m the Chapter Treasurer, and maybethat’s why I got Volunteer of the Year.Because the Board members who voted forme know that no matter whether or not wehave the $100,000 we need to get startedon a project, a big build, somebody has torecord donations. We’ve stayed activebuilding wheelchair ramps for senior citi-zens, and somebody has to record the pay-ments for those materials and write out thechecks to Mendo Mill for the 32 two-by-fours and the 16 two-by-six’s.

Somebody has to go to the bank andsign one of the two signatures necessary toprocess a transaction. There’s always somemoney to put in and some to take out.Being Treasurer for Habitat for America,Mendocino-Inland Chapter, is a little bitlike running my own financial empire: a lotof activity, a lot of name signing, and notmuch gained from any of it, not when it’sall said and done. Not much this year. A lit-tle. And not much last.

At the dinner at Zac’s is a local man and

his wife familiar with the Fort BraggHabitat Chapter, and he says they justraised a million dollars over there. A mil-lion dollars. I ask him to repeat it. A mil-lion dollars. A million dollars won’t buildyou a hundred homes or even ten in FortBragg, but it’ll buy the land and the woodand the Hardi-plank to build you five. Tobuild someone five.

Five years ago our chapter built twohomes in Ukiah, on Leslie Street, andwe’re still pointing to those two homes.When we drive by those “affordable hous-es” we always look them over, remember-ing the activity that built them on hot sum-mer Saturdays. Once the mornings gotgoing, the hammering and the lifting andthe listening got going, too - the listeningto those who know, who really know, howto build.

I remember Jim Werner and PaulNewton sending me up to the roof to nailon ridge cap late one evening not longbefore we’d have to worry about rain. Myfeet splayed out like some kind of birdonto both sides of the roof at once, my buttsore, the sun setting in the hills behind meand me up there kneeling and nailing onridge cap with that great view behind me tosee whenever I turned around ... rememberthat. Helping to build those two homes.

That was when I felt like a Volunteer ofthe Year.

Will Arnold’sfriends push LNG?

In our opinion

We don’t know all the ins and outs of theformulas used by the Ukiah Unified SchoolDistrict to come up with teacher salaries.But we can sure sympathize with teachersbeing told there’s no money for raises whilethe superintendent of schools gets a hefty$24,000 pay increase.

The school board’s response is the one wehear all the time - we have to bring thissalary up to what’s usual in surroundingareas. Not if you don’t have any money youdon’t.

We have long disputed the idea thatMendocino County must always bring itspublic salaries to the level of SonomaCounty or any other county. We areMendocino County and there are lots ofgood reasons for elected and other supervi-sory officials to want to live and work hereand it’s not the money. If it’s the money, then

let them work where the pay is higher. The school district is telling teachers that

because of declining enrollment, there’s notas much money as they thought for teachersalary increases. Well if enrollment isdeclining why does the superintendent ofschools need $24,000 more than his$110,901 annual salary?

We’re told too that currentSuperintendent Ray Chadwick declined araise when he was hired because he didn’tfeel the troops were getting enough. Wethink that’s admirable. So what’s changed?Mr. Chadwick is apparently getting ready toretire. Why would you give someone who isabout to leave a hefty raise?

Isn’t a $110,900 salary enough for anypublic official in this county to take home?We think it’s more than enough.

Another fat salary

Dual diagnosis discussion to be hosted on Jan. 31by A Healing Cooperative

Two people with first hand expertise inrecovery from difficulties with addiction andmental health challenges will speak in Ukiahon Wednesday evening about the client’s per-spective of mental health recovery.

Dave Schroeder and James Bennett, bothfrom the Sacramento area, will lead the infor-mal discussion which is open to the generalpublic, and facilitated by A HealingCooperative a non-profit, client-operated,mental health peer support cooperative.

AHC, sponsored by the Ukiah UnitedMethodist Church, provides peer support andalso training for emerging client groups inMendocino County as part of the MentalHealth Services Act funded CARE project(Community Action for Recovery andEducation).

“Both Dave and James are coming to ourarea to be part of our intensive 14-week peersupport training, and we wanted to have anopportunity to have this conversation with anyinterested individuals or agency representa-tives that might be able to come to a publicevent in the evening,” said AHC coordinatorKevin Murphy.

According to Murphy, many people whostruggle with both severe emotional distressand substance abuse or addiction end up beingbounced back and forth between the two dif-ferent treatment systems. “People are some-times told they must get their addiction undercontrol before they can get mental health treat-ment, and also the other way around, thatsometimes people are told they need to becomemore emotionally stable before they can enrollin substance abuse treatment.”

“We’re looking forward to talking withDave and James about their experiences work-ing in this field and about the way services areprovided elsewhere,” Murphy said.

The discussion will be held upstairs in thenew wing of the Ukiah United MethodistChurch, located at 205 North Bush Street from7 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 31. For

more information about the event, call 462-3360, ext. 103. For more information about AHealing Cooperative visit the Web site atwww.ukiahumc.org/ahc.

True to the philosophy ofhospice, Phoenix offers ser-vices based on need, ratherthan ability to pay. While pri-

The Hospice VolunteerTraining is offered as a no feepublic education program.Although its primary focus is

to prepare prospective volun-teers to provide supportiveend-of-life care to patientsand their families, the trainingis also helpful to communitymembers who simply want tobe better informed or mayalready be personallyinvolved in caring for lovedones.

behavior problem,” Reynoldssaid. “Anything you can do tohelp children focus willimprove their behavior.”

In 2003, researchers atCalifornia State University,Los Angeles, studied testscores at the AcceleratedSchool, a charter schoolwhere Guber sits on the boardand where students practiceyoga almost every day.Researchers found a correla-tion between yoga and betterbehavior and grades, and theysaid young yogis were morefit than the district averagefrom the California PhysicalFitness Test.

Guber, married to formerSony Pictures EntertainmentCEO Peter Guber, embracedyoga after moving toCalifornia in the 1970s. Their13-acre Bel-Air estateincludes a clifftop gardenleading to a Yoga Houseretreat.

In 2004, Americans spentalmost $3 billion on yogaclasses and retreats, books,DVDs, mats, clothing andrelated items. About 3 millionAmerican adults practicedyoga at least twice a week in2006, more than doublingfrom 1.3 million in 2001,according to Mediamark

Research.Despite mainstream accep-

tance, yoga in public schoolsremains touchy. Critics sayeven stripped-down “yogalite” goads young people intoexploring other religions andmysticism.

Dave Hunt, who has trav-eled to India to study yoga’sroots and interview gurus,called the practice “a vital partof the largest missionary pro-gram in the world” forHinduism. The Bend, Ore.,author of “Yoga and the Bodyof Christ: What PositionShould Christians Hold?” saidthat, like other religions, thepractice has no place in publicschools.

“It’s pretty simple: Yoga isa religious practice inHinduism. It’s the way toreach enlightenment. To bringit to the west and bill it as ascientific practice for fitnessis dishonest,” said Hunt, 80.

“I’ve talked to too manypeople who got hooked on thespiritual deception of yoga.They come to believe in thisand become enamored withHinduism or eastern mysti-cism,” he said.

Concerns about yoga’sspiritual implications havealso fueled a cottage industryof books and videos that offerthe purported benefits of yoga-- flexibility, strength andweight loss -- without men-

tioning the y-word.Laurette Willis, 49, wrote

an exercise regimen called“PowerMoves Kids Programfor Public Schools.” Thestretching routine includespauses for children to contem-plate character-buildingquotes from Martin LutherKing Jr., Emily Dickinson,Harriet Tubman and WilliamShakespeare. Willis, wholives near Tahlequah, Okla.,also created an exercise regi-men called “PraiseMoves:The Christian Alternative toYoga.”

“I’m not here to say thatyoga is necessarily bad, but itis counter to what I think thepublic education system isfor: It should have programswithout any form of religiousovertones whatsoever,” Willissaid.

The dispute confuses someyogis, particularly Westernerswho say they yoga as it’s prac-ticed in the United States isprimarily about fitness andstress relief.

Baron Baptiste, who ownsthree studios in the Bostonarea and practices with his 7-year-old son, loves Guber’sprogram. He said his son takesyoga far less seriously than hedoes.

“We adults need to bereminded to lighten up,breathe in the joy and havesome fun,” he said.

HEALTH BRIEFS

By DAVE GOLDBERGAP Football Writer

MIAMI — After his brother died inan auto accident last September, ReggieWayne returned to the IndianapolisColts to find Tony Dungy waiting toconsole him — as only a man who hasbeen through his own personaltragedies can do.

“I was at the lowest point,” Waynerecalled last week. “Just to hear it fromsomeone who has been through it helpsyou a lot. Coach Dungy is a strong man— a strong soul. It was huge for me.”

Dungy’s tragedy came 13 monthsago — the suicide of his 18-year-oldson James.

A season later, he’s coaching in theSuper Bowl, using the strength that sus-tained him through his terrible loss totry to get the Colts their first NFL titlein 36 years. A victory on Sunday atDolphin Stadium would validate hiscareer and his quarterback’s, PeytonManning, two men who have beentagged with the line “can’t win the bigone.”

In both cases, the label is unfair, asmost labels can be.

Dungy’s teams have made the play-offs for eight straight seasons and innine of the 11 years he’s coached. Theeight straight appearances ties for sec-ond in that category with his mentor,Chuck Noll, and puts him behind TomLandry, the only coach to do it nineconsecutive times. His winning per-centage of .635, including playoffs, isthe highest among active coaches, afraction of a percentage point higherthan the mark for Joe Gibbs.

But Gibbs has won three SuperBowls. Dungy is celebrated in his firstas much for the color of his skin as hisabilities — he and Chicago coachLovie Smith, a protege and good friend,are the first black head coaches to makeit there.

The knock has usually been thatDungy lacks what a championshipcoach needs: the killer instinct to pusheverything else aside.

The television cameras never catch

him shouting at an official or cursingunder his breath. His priorities are hisfamily and his faith. He’s also workedhard to advance minority hiring in theNFL, a cause that is clearly in the spot-light this week and was last week, too.

“What happened in New York onMonday, what happened inIndianapolis and Chicago on Sundayand what happened in Pittsburgh thenext Monday may make it the most sig-nificant week ever for African-Americans in football,” said DougWilliams, who 19 years ago became thefirst black quarterback in a Super Bowl.

He was referring to Jerry Reese’sappointment as general manager of theNew York Giants, the conferencechampionship wins, and Mike Tomlin’shiring as coach of the PittsburghSteelers.

Dungy is hardly the prototypical

coach — he’s usually stoic on the side-line, as he had been in dealing with hisson’s death. After the Colts beat NewEngland to win the AFC championship,he pointedly noted that coaches don’thave to encourage profanity and trash-talking to succeed.

His boss agrees.“There are disciplinarians without

being disciplinarians,” says Bill Polian,the Colts’ general manager. “If theybench you, or punish you in some otherway, they let you know that it can berectified, that if what you did wrong iscorrected, there are rewards down theline.”

Manning describes his coach in asimilar vein.

“He doesn’t yell. Or at least he does-n’t yell very often,” he said. “But I’veseen him get angry. And like anyonewho is so even-tempered, it really hasan effect. When he’s angry, you knowthere’s a reason. And we listen.”

Dungy earned a Super Bowl ring asa player with the 1978 PittsburghSteelers, where he was a spare defen-sive back and emergency quarterback.He played two seasons in Pittsburgh,one in San Francisco (where he cameunder the influence of Bill Walsh), andfinally was cut by the Giants after hewas traded there for another future headcoach, Ray Rhodes.

So he began coaching, first at hisalma mater, Minnesota. At 25, hebecame the NFL’s youngest assistantwhen he returned to the Steelers to

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —Barry Bonds and the SanFrancisco Giants completed a$15.8 million, one-year con-tract Monday night after theslugger spent hours at the ball-park being examined by teamdoctors.

A baseball official con-firmed the deal, speaking oncondition of anonymitybecause the club had not yetannounced it.

The contract was finalizednearly two months after thesides reached agreement on

financial terms Dec. 7, the finalday of baseball’s winter meet-ings. Bonds had to pass a phys-ical, and the parties had towork out complicated languageregarding Bonds’ behavior andwhat would happen if the slug-ger were to be indicted.

A federal grand jury isinvestigating whether Bondsperjured himself when he testi-fied in 2003 in the Bay AreaLaboratory Co-Operativesteroid distribution case that hehadn’t knowingly taken anyperformance-enhancing drugs.

Bonds waved, yelled “hello,hello” and smiled as he left the

stadium Monday and droveaway, with agent Jeff Borris inthe passenger seat. Borris didnot immediately return callsfrom The Associated Press.

The 42-year-old Bondsbegins the 2007 season with734 home runs, 22 from break-ing Hank Aaron’s career recordof 755.

BERKELEY — Score one for thetrees. Citing environmental and seismicconcerns, a judge blocked construction ofa $125 million sports center at theUniversity of California, Berkeley, thatwould mean felling an old oak grove.

The plan to renovate Cal’s MemorialStadium and build a new training centerand parking garage has been challengedby neighbors and city officials on severalfronts. They say the project is environ-mentally flawed and it’s too dangerous tobuild so close to the Hayward fault,which runs through the stadium.

Plans to cut down about three dozenoaks to make way for the center stirredthe most visible protest, with activiststaking to the trees last month and remain-ing at their perch through December rainsand even some minor earthquakes.

In issuing a preliminary injunction,made public Monday, Alameda CountySuperior Court Judge Barbara Miller saidopponents’ environmental and seismic-related arguments were strong enough tojustify a preliminary injunction until atrial can be held.

Campus officials, who maintain theirproject is seismically safe and is a bigimprovement over the current situation,said they are considering appealing theinjunction. If a trial is held, which attor-neys on both sides said could be this sum-mer, they expect to win.

“We consider this only a temporary

setback,” said Nathan Brostrom, campusvice chancellor, adding that the planningprocess will continue. “Our goal and ourtop priority must be the safety of our staffand student athletes.”

But at a news conference held beneath

the sun-dappled branches of the oakgrove, tree-sitters smiled and waved fromabove, while their supporters on theground said the ruling was good for trees

ALAMEDA — TheRaiders hired former Atlantaoffensive coordinator GregKnapp to fill the same job inOakland, giving first-yearcoach Lane Kiffin an experi-enced coordinator to ease histransition from college to theNFL.

Knapp spent the previousthree seasons with the Falconsbefore being let go whencoach Jim Mora was firedafter the season and replacedby Bobby Petrino. Knapp rana West Coast offense inAtlanta that struggled at timesto work with quarterbackMichael Vick.

“I’ve been familiar with hissuccess coaching in thisleague for some time now,”Kiffin said in a statement. “Heshares the same vision andpassion for what it will take tobring an explosive offenseback to the Raider Nation.”

Kiffin said at his introduc-

tory news conference that hewould call the plays inOakland, meaning Knapp willhelp in putting together gameplans and other activities.

The Raiders need plenty ofhelp on offense after scoring aleague-low 168 points lastseason and allowing an NFL-worst 72 sacks. Oaklandscored just 12 offensivetouchdowns on the way to afourth straight losing season.

The biggest question onoffense for the Raiders is atquarterback, where AaronBrooks and Andrew Walterstruggled last season. Oaklandcould choose to take a quar-terback with the No. 1 pick inApril’s draft, with NotreDame’s Brady Quinn andLSU’s JaMarcus Russell thetop two coming out this year.

“His history of getting hisquarterbacks to play at an elitelevel is second to none,”Kiffin said. “He’s thrilled

WE’RE HAPPY TO PLACEYOUR SPECIAL ORDERS!

work for Noll. By 28, he wasthe team’s defensive coordina-tor, instantly becoming thefocus for those seeking to hirethe first black head coach in aleague that was becomingincreasingly black on thefield.

In hindsight, he recalled afew years ago, it all camemuch too early. “At that age, Iwasn’t ready,” he said.

Still, he kept getting inter-views and kept getting turneddown until owners and gener-al managers started to wonder,“What’s wrong with him?”

Finally, in 1996, he inter-viewed in Tampa, perhaps thefourth choice for the job on ateam that had 13 straight los-ing seasons, 12 of them indouble digits.

He got the job.By his second year, the

Bucs were in the playoffs,thanks to a defense now calledthe “Tampa Two,” a two-deepzone that’s been emulated

throughout the league. Dungy,who had Smith on his staffthere, often gets the credit forit.

“Chuck Noll, alwaysChuck Noll,” he said. “That’swhere I learned it. That’swhere it will always be from.”

Dungy’s teams have missedthe playoffs only once sincethen, in 1998. In Indy, he wentfrom a defensive powerhouseto a strong offense and suc-ceeded with Manning, MarvinHarrison and Edgerrin James.

But in the NFL, winningcan get stale if all you do isget to the playoffs every sea-son and never make the SuperBowl.

In 2000 and 2001, the Bucslost their opening playoffgames in Philadelphia, andDungy was fired.

He went to Indy, but thepostseason results were thesame; the Colts were blownout 41-0 by the Jets in theirfirst postseason game. Wherehis predecessor, Jim Mora,might have blown-up after ahorrible game like that one,Dungy put it aside. Shortlyafter his postgame news con-ference, he was talking about

minority hiring, suggestingthat Marvin Lewis should takethe coaching opening inCincinnati.

That is Dungy, whose manyinterests beyond pro footballcan help reduce the sting of acrushing playoff defeat. Adeeply religious man, but onewho refrains from using hisposition to push his beliefs, heacknowledges: “I am certainlyaware that there is life outsideof football.”

That was made abundantlyclear on Dec. 22, 2005, whenJames Dungy was found deadin his Tampa apartment.

Two weeks later, Dungywas back coaching, graciouslythanking the millions of well-wishers, getting himselfinvolved in an effort to pre-vent teenage suicide and sug-gesting that it was harder onhis wife, Lauren, because hehad football as an outlet.

Even his oldest friendswere amazed at his calm.

“He stood above his son’scasket with so much controlthat I told him after the funer-al, ’I don’t know how you doit,’ “ recalled Peter May, whohas known him since the sev-

enth grade. “He was the bestathlete, the smartest kid andthe person with the most man-ners when we were growingup. But in my whole life, I’venever been more impressedwith him than I was on thatsad day.”

As friends would expect, hemade something of thetragedy. He donated his son’seyes to the Lions Eye Institutefor Transplant and Research inTampa, where they were usedto save the sight of two peo-ple.

“Tony is a saint,” saidJason Woody, executive direc-tor of the institute. “I don’tknow anyone in the public eyewho is so caring and so giv-ing.”

Dungy doesn’t talk abouthow tragedy has changed him.Or at least not often.

“I think God gives you teststo see if you’re going to staytrue to what you believe andstay faithful,” he said lastweek. “For me, that’s what itwas, having to continue tobelieve. Sometimes when youhave disappointments itmakes that final destinationthat much sweeter.”

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. — Somany people felt a stake in Barbaro’srecovery. They imagined his pain,grimaced each time he faltered, tookheart as each day passed and he wasstill alive, making painfully slowprogress.

The 2006 Kentucky Derby win-ner’s fight for survival was theirfight, a symbol of strength, courageand comfort — and, more than any-thing else, a source of inspiration.

He was, after all, winner of theworld’s most famous race, in a sportdesperate for a superstar. For monthshe seemed, remarkably, to takeeverything that came at him: goodand bad.

Finally, it was too much.Barbaro was euthanized Monday

after complications from his grue-some breakdown at last year’sPreakness, ending an eight-monthordeal that made him even more of ahero than he was as a champion onthe track.

“Certainly, grief is the price we allpay for love,” co-owner GretchenJackson said.

A series of ailments — includinglaminitis in the left rear hoof, anabscess in the right rear hoof, as wellas new laminitis in both front feet —proved too much for the gallant colt.Barbaro was given a heavy dose of atranquilizer and an overdose of ananesthetic and put down at 10:30a.m.

“I really didn’t think it was appro-priate to continue treatment becausethe probability of getting better wasso poor,” said Dr. Dean Richardson,chief of surgery at the New BoltonCenter.

Richardson, fighting back tears,added: “Barbaro had many, manygood days.”

The bay colt underwent nearlytwo dozen surgeries and other proce-dures, including cast changes underanesthesia. He spent time in a slingto ease pressure on his legs, had pinsinserted and was fitted at the endwith an external brace — extraordi-nary measures for injuries that mosthorses never survive.

Weeks of positive reports turnedinto months. Barbaro was eyeing themares, nickering, gobbling up hisfeed and trying to walk out of hisstall. But Richardson warned therestill could be trouble, and by mid-July, his greatest fear became reality— laminitis struck Barbaro’s lefthind leg.

On Sunday, a day after Barbaro’sfight for survival had reached a criti-cal point, Richardson compared thevarious injuries to a “house ofcards.” One part falls, and the reststart to crumble.

In this case, it was the laminitisthat attacked both front feet that lefthim vulnerable.

“That left him with not a good legto stand on,” Richardson said.

The disease affected his personal-ity, too. The eyes that had been sobright and full of life were darkerMonday morning. Barbaro clearlywas in distress.

“You could see he was upset,”Richardson said. “That was the dif-ference. It was more than we wantedto put him through.”

Roy and Gretchen Jackson werewith Barbaro on Monday morningand made the decision in consulta-tion with Richardson.

“We just reached a point where itwas going to be difficult for him togo on without pain,” Roy Jacksonsaid. “It was the right decision, it wasthe right thing to do. We said allalong if there was a situation where itwould become more difficult forhim, then it would be time.”

With dark red roses on the table atan afternoon press conference,Richardson and the Jacksons wereemotional talking about the colt.Many staffers welled up, and byearly evening the lobby was over-flowing with roses and other assortedflowers sent by grieving fans.

The scene seemed to mimicmonths earlier when Barbaro becameAmerica’s No. 1 patient after he firstsuffered his catastrophic injuries.

On May 20, Barbaro was rushedto the New Bolton Center, about 30miles from Philadelphia in KennettSquare, hours after shattering hisright hind leg just a few strides intothe Preakness Stakes. He underwenta five-hour operation that fused twojoints, and Richardson called thecolt’s chances a “coin toss.”

The recovery, though, seemed togo well. The bones that had shatteredin the Preakness were healed and theonly major concern was in Barbaro’sleft rear leg, where 80 percent of thehoof had been removed in July whenhe developed laminitis.

Then a deep abscess in the righthind hoof began causing discomfortlast week, and surgery was requiredto insert two steel pins in a bone toeliminate all weight bearing on theailing right rear foot.

“This horse was a hero,” saidDavid Switzer, executive director ofthe Kentucky ThoroughbredAssociation. “His owners wentabove and beyond the call of duty tosave this horse. It’s an unfortunatesituation, but I think they did theright thing in putting him down.”

When Barbaro broke down, hisright hind leg flared out awkwardlyas jockey Edgar Prado jumped offand tried to steady the ailing horse.Race fans at Pimlico wept. Within 24hours fans across the country seemedto be caught up in a “Barbarowatch.”

Well-wishers young and oldshowed up at the New Bolton Centerwith cards, flowers, gifts, goodiesand even religious medals, and thou-sands of e-mails poured into the hos-pital’s Web site. The biggest gift hasbeen the $1.2 million raised sinceearly June for the Barbaro Fund,money to be put toward neededequipment such as an operating roomtable and a raft and sling for the samepool recovery Barbaro used after hissurgeries.

The Jacksons, who own about 70racehorses, broodmares and year-lings and have been in the businessfor 30 years, spent tens of thousandsof dollars hoping the best horse theyever owned would recover.

“Everything was looking really,really good, and, of course, I honest-ly thought that the horse was goingto pull it off,” said breeder BillSanborn at Springmint Farm nearNicholasville, Ky., where Barbarowas foaled and raised.

La Ville Rouge, Barbaro’s dam,remains pregnant at Mills RidgeFarm in Lexington with a full broth-er to Barbaro. The foal is expected inthe early spring.

A son of Dynaformer, Barbarostarted his career on the turf, buttrainer Michael Matz knew he wouldhave to try his versatile colt on thedirt. He had to find out early if thehorse was good enough for the TripleCrown races.

Barbaro was good enough, allright. After winning his first threeraces on turf with authority, Matzdrew up an unconventional plan for adirt campaign that spaced outBarbaro’s races to save him for theentire Triple Crown, three races infive weeks at varying distances overdifferent tracks.

In his dirt debut, Barbaro won theHoly Bull Stakes over a sloppy trackat Gulfstream Park on Feb. 4. Afteran unusually long eight-week break,he won the Florida Derby by a half-length over Sharp Humor and it wason to Churchill Downs, though notwithout criticism that Barbaro could-n’t win the Kentucky Derby after afive-week layoff. After all, it hadbeen 50 years since Needles won theDerby off a similar break.

Not only did Barbaro win theDerby, he demolished what was sup-posed to be one of the toughest fieldsin years. The 6 1/2-length winningmargin was the largest since 1946,when Assault won by eight lengthsand went on to sweep the TripleCrown.

Barbaro would never get hischance at a Triple. His career, whichearned $2,302,200, would end in thePreakness, where that horrible mis-step would lead to his only loss inseven starts.

AP Writer Will Graves inLouisville contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON — Shortlyafter her swearing-in as thefirst female House speaker,Rep. Nancy Pelosi took timeto field questions from a fewdozen Internet bloggers on aconference call that was offlimits to mainstream media.

Last week, Pelosi’s aidesarranged for bloggers to ques-tion two Democratic Houseleaders on another conferencecall shortly before PresidentBush’s State of the Unionspeech.

Pelosi also hired a full-timestaff member this month dedi-cated to blogger outreach, andis making plans to launch ablog of her own. The day shewas sworn in, bloggers weregiven special accommoda-tions at the Capitol to coverthe event, and fed lunch.

It’s all evidence of the new-found attention bloggers fromleft-leaning Web sites arecommanding on Democratic-run Capitol Hill, especiallyfrom the new speaker, a SanFranciscan with an apprecia-tion for the power of theInternet and grass-rootsactivism.

Schooled by evidence ofwhat Internet-driven politicscan accomplish — from fuel-ing Howard Dean’s presiden-tial campaign in 2004 to pro-pelling Ned Lamont to victoryover Joseph Lieberman inConnecticut’s DemocraticSenate primary last year —Pelosi and other politicianshave realized bloggers are tooimportant to ignore.

“They’ve gone from an ini-tial writing blogs off, then

moving to skepticism, thenmoving to, ’OK, maybe wecan find a way of workingwith these guys,”’ said JohnAravosis, who runsAmericablog.com.

“It’s a power base and it’sinfluential and it’s an opportu-nity. And you know what? Itexists,” Aravosis added. “Itshould only scare you ifyou’re on their bad side.”

Blogs also are a way forPelosi and others to communi-cate directly with a politicallyengaged audience, without fil-tering by traditional media.She promoted the Democrats’agenda for their first 100 leg-

islative hours in a posting onHuffingtonpost.com.

Democrats, in turn, creditbloggers with helping marshalsuccessful opposition toPresident Bush’s 2005 plan tooverhaul Social Security byadding private accounts, afight Pelosi led.

“It’s a mistake to think thatthese people just sit behindtheir machines and don’t doanything other than talk toeach other and send money,”said Joe Trippi, who managedHoward Dean’s Internet-dri-ven campaign. “These peopleare very active in theirprecincts, in their communi-ties.”

Friendly bloggers can helpdefuse attacks. Liberal blog-gers rose to Pelosi’s defensewhen she was criticized afterthe November election foremploying nonunion workersat her vineyard.Thinkprogress.org trumpetedPelosi’s side of the story:Growers are prohibited by lawfrom meddling in union con-tract issues before workersvote to organize.

Republicans are steppingup their involvement withblogs as well, and Pelosi’saides are planning new mediatraining sessions forDemocratic lawmakers andaides partly to expand use ofblogs — one more sign thatCongress’ presence in the blo-gosphere will only grow.

“The speaker will be blog-ging,” promised KarinaNewton, Pelosi’s director ofnew media.

“She understands thepower that the netroots have.”

WASHINGTON — Former White Housepress secretary Ari Fleischer testifiedMonday he first heard that a prominent warcritic’s wife worked at the CIA from vicepresidential aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby.He said he thought the information mighthelp deflect critical questions from reporters.

Fleischer said Libby told him aboutValerie Plame’s job at the CIA over a lunchin the White House mess on July 7, 2003.But Libby has told investigators he thoughthe first learned about Plame on July 10 fromNBC reporter Tim Russert.

Four other government witnesses alsohave said they discussed Plame with Libbybefore July 10, and the discrepancy betweenthose accounts and what Libby told the FBIand a grand jury are a major component ofthe perjury and obstruction of justice chargesagainst Vice President Dick Cheney’s formerchief of staff.

Libby now says his memory failed himwhen he spoke to Russert. Russert saidMonday that he did not tell Libby aboutPlame. “I was not and never have been therecipient of the leak,” Russert told an audi-ence in Oklahoma City.

The appearance of Fleischer, PresidentBush’s chief spokesman from 2001 throughmid-2003, slightly swelled the crowd of trialonlookers, including veteran reporters eagerto see a White House press secretary ques-tioned under oath.

Acknowledging that he fielded lots hos-tile questions at the White House, Fleischerproved to be a calm and unflappable witness,even under cross-examination by defenseattorney William Jeffress. He often turned tospeak directly to the jurors, sometimes usinghand gestures.

Fleischer testified under an immunityagreement with prosecutors. He said hesought the deal after reading about the inves-tigation and worrying, “Oh my God. Did Isomehow play a role in outing a CIA opera-tive?” He insisted he believed throughoutthat the information was not classified.

Fleischer said his lunch with Libby was

their first ever and had been scheduled byLibby in anticipation of Fleischer’s immi-nent departure to start his own company.

After talk of career plans and the MiamiDolphins, the subject shifted to the contro-versy raging over criticism by Plame’s hus-band, ex-ambassador Joseph Wilson, ofPresident Bush’s State of Union address inJanuary 2003.

Bush had said Iraq was trying to buy ura-nium in Africa for nuclear weapons, and thathad become part of the justification for warwith Iraq. Since then, Wilson had said inprint and on television that he was sent toNiger to investigate the report and haddebunked it in 2002. Wilson claimed ques-tions by Cheney motivated his trip and thatCheney should have received his reportmonths before Bush repeated the story in hisspeech.

Previous testimony showed Cheney’soffice was working to get word out thatCheney didn’t send Wilson to Niger and hadnever heard of Wilson, his trip or his conclu-sions until press reports in spring 2003.

Libby said Wilson was sent to Niger byhis wife and she worked at the CIA in thecounter-proliferation division, Fleischer tes-tified. “I believe he mentioned her name andsaid something like, ‘This is hush-hush, thison the Q-T, not very many people knowthis.”’

“My sense is that Mr. Libby was tellingme this was kinda newsy,” Fleischer added.He did not think the information was classi-fied, however, because whenever he was toldor given classified information “peoplewould always say, ‘This is classified. Youcannot use it.”’

Fleischer said he again heard about Plamefour days later from White House communi-cations director Dan Bartlett aboard AirForce One during Bush’s trip to Africa.Bartlett was reading a document and began“venting” to no one in particular his displea-sure that reporters kept writing that Cheneyhad sent Wilson to Niger.

“His wife sent him,” Fleischer recalledBartlett saying. “She works at the CIA.”

Dear Annie: I’m having an internal battleover loyalties. I’m a recently divorced man.My friend, “Jim,” also is divorced. A few daysago, I ran into Jim’s ex-wife, “Tammy,” at thestore. We talked for a minute and exchangednumbers. Tammy called me the next day. Wehit it off extremely well.

I have always thought Tammy was a funperson to be around. We’ve talked severaltimes, and I’m pretty sure she is interested instriking up a friendlier relationship. I’d reallylike to date Tammy, but am not sure what to do.I don’t want to alienate Jim or our other mutu-al friends. I need your advice. What should Ido? -- Torn Apart in Kentucky

Dear Torn Apart: This is a very tricky sit-uation and not likely to make your life easier.Dating a good friend’s ex is a recipe for hurtfeelings and awkward social situations. Ofcourse, a lot depends on whether or not the cur-rent relationship between Jim and Tammy isamicable. Talk to Jim. Tell him you are inter-

ested in dating Tammy, but you don’t want todamage the friendship. If he doesn’t mind, goahead, but if he objects in any way, understandthat dating her will undoubtedly cost you thefriendship, and mutual friends may feel oblig-ated to take sides when it comes to issuinginvitations. Only you can decide if she’s worthit.

Dear Annie: Over the last several years, Ihave had some small skin cancers. I have seenthree or four dermatologists, but have nevergone back to the same one twice. None offereda full body check, and the one time I asked, thedoctor barely looked at me. He never checkedunder my breasts, inside my thighs or on the

scalp.I realize some of this is my fault for not

speaking up more forcefully, but could youprint the basics of what one should expect? -Comment, Please

Dear Comment: We contacted Dr. SaraWard, dermatologist at NorthwesternMemorial Physicians Group. She said you arecorrect that regular screening skin examina-tions by a dermatologist are the best way todetect and treat skin cancer early. The badnews is the incidence of skin cancers isincreasing at an alarming rate. The good newsis that nearly all skin cancers are curable if theyare caught early.

During a screening, you should expect yourdermatologist to examine your entire skin sur-face, so you will be asked to remove yourclothing and put on a gown. Because skin can-cer can arise anywhere on the skin surface,even in places that have never been exposed tothe sun, your dermatologist will generally lookeverywhere. During the exam your dermatolo-gist may ask if you have noted any hidden orchanging lesions. Even if your doctor does notask, it is critical for you to speak up. For con-

sistency, once you find a dermatologist you arecomfortable with, it is best to see the same per-son each visit so he or she can monitor for sub-tle changes.

You should be performing self skin exami-nations monthly in between visits to your der-matologist. This means looking over yourentire body, using a mirror for hard-to-spotareas. If you see a new mole, any changes inthe size, color, shape or texture of an existingmole, or any unusual changes in your skin, youshould bring this to the attention of your der-matologist.

Dear Annie: I have another idea for “PleaseDon’t Ruin My Vacation Again,” who catchescolds on airplanes. Once I am seated on theplane, I put on a surgical mask. I don’t care if Ilook funny or not, I’m never going to see thesepeople again. And if someone asks, I tell themI have a cold and don’t want to make anyoneon the plane sick. It’s a small white lie, butpeople seem to appreciate the courtesy. --Emily

Dear Emily: Most people are reluctant tolook like a surgeon in public, but we say, what-ever works.

receive property tax assess-ments which are much lowerthan normal because they arebased upon farming and openspace uses as opposed to fullmarket value, according to theCalifornia Department ofConservation, Division ofLand Resource Protection.

The Williamson Act is esti-mated to save agriculturallandowners from 20 percent to75 percent in property tax lia-bility each year, according tothe Division of Land ResourceProtection.

In 2005, 493,121 acres inMendocino County were inType I and Type II agricultur-al preserves, defined by coun-ty code as “prime agriculturalland” and “rangeland or forestland” respectively.

“Type I AgriculturePreserves are typically pearorchards or vineyards in thiscounty. Type II preserves aretypically grazing lands,”Department of Planning andBuilding Services ChiefPlanner Frank Lynch said.“This is (an application for) aType III preserve, which is foropen space or resource areas,which is provided for in statelaw.”

In addition to open-spaceuse for preservation of naturalcharacteristics, beauty andhabitat, Type III preserves areallowed under county code forpublic recreational use.

The Gruchawkas, who pur-chased the plot of land about ayear ago, said that it had beenthe site of a large-scale mari-juana raid in 2005, where

approximately 12,000 mari-juana plants were seized.Since buying the land, they’vebeen busy removing garbageand debris left at the site.

“The whole reason that wehave moved to MendocinoCounty and want this propertyis to promote wildlife, to giveit an area,” Summers-Gruchawka told the board.

In the process of applyingfor the agricultural preserve,the Gruchawkas invited theCalifornia Department of Fishand Game to visit the land.

In a letter to the applicants,Fish and Game Central CoastRegion Manager RobertFloerke said that Pieta Creek,which transects the property,is an important spawningground for steelhead trout,and concluded that “the com-bination of poor agriculturalvalues and high naturalresource values makes thisproperty a prime candidate forWilliamson Act considera-tion.”

However, a majority of theboard was concerned aboutthe precedent approving theType III Agricultural Preserveapplication might set.

“I’m very concerned aboutthe precedent this is setting,”Supervisor Michael Delbarsaid. “This is a 160 acre parceloff the beaten path in the mid-dle of nowhere really.Although it may have someunique characteristics to theowners, quite frankly, I don’tsee how it’s unique above andbeyond most other parcels inthis county.”

According to PlanningDepartment ProjectCoordinator John Speka, a“ballpark estimate” ofbetween $4,000 and $4,500 inproperty tax revenue would be

lost annually if theWilliamson Act contract weregranted.

“(We’ll have) folks comingin saying ‘Well, I’d like tohave that tax break toobecause I’m not going to doanything with my property.I’m going to preserve it.’ It’s a$4,500 tax break for being aresponsible property owner,but where’s the benefit back tothe economy?” Delbar asked.

Supervisor John Pinchessaid that losing that moneywould negatively impactschools and fire districts aswell as the county’s GeneralFund.

“I was always under theimpression that theWilliamson Act, the idea wasto keep the land in productionfor the employment benefit,the job benefit and productionof the cattle, the grapes, thepears, the timber, whatever itis,” Pinches said.

But the applicants, as wellas Supervisor David Colfaxand Board Chair KendallSmith, who voted againstdenying the agriculturalpreservation designation, saidthey did not believe a damag-ing precedent would be set.

“The Williamson Act wasstarted in 1965, and 40 yearslater, we’re the first applicants(in this county),” Summers-Gruchawka said.

According to Summers-Gruchawka, the first applica-tion for an open-space agricul-tural preserve approved in thestate happened just recently inSan Louis Obispo County.

“This is a good investment,I believe. It is a key invest-ment in habitat protection,”Colfax said. “One might saythat we are probably unlikelyto come across properties of

this type in which the peopleare willing to commit so muchto protection.”

Before going to the board,the application was approvedunanimously by the CountyPlanning Commission afterthe applicants submitted a 12-page wildlife habitat manage-ment plan they developed.

While the county has stan-dard to assess and monitorType I and II preserves, thereare none yet for Type III pre-serves, Lynch said.

“When the applicants firstapproached me and othermembers of the planning staff,we tried to steer them anotherway, quite candidly,” Lynchsaid. “The applicants werevery persistent in going downthis path.”

Lynch said that a conserva-tion easement was suggested,however, because the appli-cants are relatively new own-ers, they wanted somethingless permanent until getting afeel for the land.

Unlike Williamson Actcontracts which have 10-yearterms, conservation easementsstay with the land until itchanges ownership, accordingto Don Drysdale, spokesmanfor Department of LandConservation.

The Mendocino CountyAssessor’s Office recom-mended against approving theapplication for a Type III agri-cultural preserve, saying thatbecause the land wouldn’t beprotected in perpetuity, “totruly protect the habitat for thefuture, a conservation ease-ment would be more benefi-cial than the Williamson Act.”

Supervisors voted 3-2 todeny the application.

where once were solid walls.A new sound system, “moodlighting” in the form ofstained glass sconces, andnew curtains over a stagewhich was enlarged by aboutthree feet were also incorpo-rated into the project.

In addition, repairs weremade to the heating and airconditioning unit and thecommunications system wasreplaced. The only thing leftto do, Christian said, is torenovate the bathrooms andbuy new tables and chairs forthe hall which can seat up to160 people at a time.

“We want to be positionedto serve our community forevents. We have calls forweddings, receptions, birth-day parties, family reunions,etc.,” Christian said.

The Ukiah Senior Centercurrently has about 700 mem-bers, she said. In addition,Christian said, as many as200 people per week use the

center for various activitiesand events. “The senior cen-ter is not just for seniors, weserve all ages,” she said.

Mendocino County SecondDistrict Supervisor, JimWattenburger is the personresponsible for making themoney for the renovationproject available to the seniorcenter, Christian said.

The Prop 40 monies, slated

for recreational activities,parks, etc., came into thecounty in early 2005,Wattenburger said.

“There was $1.2 million ...and we divided it six ways,”Wattenburger said, notingeach of the five supervisorswere given $200,000 to usein their district. The remain-ing $200,000 went to thecounty for parks.

“I chose three major pro-jects; the skate board park,the municipal swimming poolrenovation and the AntonStadium renovation and thatwas $175,000 toward those.And then I wanted to givesomething to the seniors also,and I looked to the seniorcenter and they providesenior recreation programsand classes, under the direc-tion of the city of Ukiah ... ”he said. Hence, the remaining$25,000 went toward thesenior center’s renovationproject.

Community members alsostepped up to the plate.

“The community reallycame together to make surewe got our hall renovated,”Ukiah Senior Center Financeand Outreach Director,Lavonna Silveria said, noting,Home Depot, Round TreeGlass, Friedman’s,Mendocino Forest Products,and the CommunityFoundation, among others,helped sponsor the project.

the Eel River. The nonprofitMateel (the name comes fromtwo rivers, the Mattole and theEel) holds the rights to theevent, and profits go to sup-port the center’s communityprograms.

Many of the principals onboth sides of the recent badfeelings, including PeopleProductions founder CarolBruno, go back to the event’sorigins in 1983.

The Mateel board request-ed the audit of the 2005 festi-val because of shortfalls inanticipated proceeds. In a let-ter dated Dec. 8, three weeksbefore People Productions’contract was terminated, CPADeborah K. Brooks told theboard she found numerousexamples of inadequate pro-cedures for safeguardingassets. These included:

• Failure to account for3,000 attendance wristbands,with a value of about $2 mil-lion.

• Lack of time sheets ordocumentation of payrollexpenditures. Poor controlsfor 1099 tax forms, theBrooks said, possibly violatedstate law.

• Approximately $300,000in cash payments to vendors,performers and subcontractorswith no documentation orreceipts.

“Nobody here is sayingthere was any wrongdoing,”said Stapp. “I’m sure CarolBruno has a good explanation.
