Crowding, housing and transportation prob-lems were just some of the issues local farm-workers brought up in a recent survey present-ed to the Mendocino County Board ofSupervisors.

On Tuesday, the Mendocino CountyPlanning Team issued the report to the boarddetailing the demand for farmworker housingand transportation in the county.

When compared with the crowding rates forthe general population, the study found thatfarmworkers were 15 times more likely to livein crowded conditions and a little over seven

times more likely to live in extremely crowdedconditions.

The survey was nearly a year in the making.On June 5, 2007, the board authorized the sur-vey and on Oct. 2, 2007, the board authorizeda successful application to the CaltransAgricultural Workers Transportation GrantProgram to partially fund it.

For the past 35 years, the FosterGrandparents program has quietly providedsupplemental instruction in the classroomfor hundreds of special-needs studentsthroughout the county, but if you askDirector Eileen Bostwick, it’s just the wayshe likes it.

“It’s really one of the best kept secrets inAmerica,” said Bostwick, who has beenwith the program locally for 18 years. “I

have the best job in the world. I work withall these absolutely incredible seniors whohave so many gifts to offer the youth.”

Sponsored by North CoastOpportunities, Inc. in 1973, the FosterGrandparents program has placed seniors,60 years old and above, in classroomsthroughout the county as well as juvenilehall with the hope of making a differencefor children in need.

For more than three decades, FosterGrandparents has helped students and was

recently recognized by the Ukiah CityCouncil for 35 years of work in the com-munity.

“NCO had such vision and everythingthey set in place for this program hasworked for 35 years,” Bostwick said. “Thefoster grandparents provide that one-on-one, intensive time that helps many of them(the students) go on to be successful. Thereare lots of hugs and lots of encouragement.

A new planning committee currently on thedrawing board could give Hopland a greatervoice in the debate over future development ofthe area.

The organization is centered aroundHopland Fire Chief Ken Johnson, who hasused the model set into place by the nearbyunincorporated community of Geyserville.

Johnson said the group would take inputfrom the public at meetings in addition to hav-ing its own say when new developments come

forward.“We’re working on a long-range plan in the

district,” he said. “It should be done in concertwith community. We don’t have any cohesivegroups -- no chamber of commerce. I teachschool in Geyserville. They have done a reallygood job with their Geyserville PlanningCommittee. They work very well as an adviso-ry group. They’ve done such a good job interms of representing their community.”

Dear Annie: My husband and I recentlyturned 60 and celebrated our 40th weddinganniversary. We both work full time.

Lately, a lovely young woman whom myhusband considers “just a friend” has been vis-iting him at his place of business and callingfrequently on his cell phone. She confides inhim about her rocky relationship with herboyfriend, cries on his shoulder when thingsdon’t work out, and has even had him drive herto various doctor appointments. She has fami-ly in town, so I don’t understand her need toinvolve him so much in her life. She is veryneedy and a real drama queen, but evidentlymy husband likes it.

I think this behavior is inappropriate andcould lead to something more serious. My hus-band says he is like a father to her. We have agrown daughter and son, and he never took thismuch interest in them. Should I be worrying? -- Redding, Calif.

Dear Redding: Probably. Your husband has

made himself very vulnerable to this youngwoman, and she is exploiting it. He enjoysbeing the hero, especially since the heroine isso young and pretty, but this situation is a pow-der keg. He may believe he has no interest in amore intimate relationship, but it wouldn’t takemuch for her to convince him otherwise. Tellhim to get out of Fantasyland before he doessomething he deeply regrets.

Dear Annie: I am a nice guy, mid-50s andreasonably handsome. I work hard for mymoney and by no stretch of the imaginationconsider myself wealthy. Which brings me tothe reason for this letter.

I have been divorced 10 years, and during

that time I have been fixed up by friends andmet women from dating services. Simply put, Ihave been hoping to find that special someone.It’s fun to meet women even if we don’t“click.” However, I cannot continue my huntfor love while picking up the tab every time.

You would do your readers (male andfemale) a service if you would encourage themto share the cost of the first date. Ladies, pleaseshow some class and insist on splitting expens-es when you meet a guy for lunch, dinner or anevening out.

I’m trying to be honest here, so don’t shootthe messenger. Unless you are a young, hotsupermodel, don’t expect a free lunch. Great-looking women can get away with persuadingmen to part with all their money, but not every-one. I’m old enough to look beyond appear-ance, but you need to use some common sense.If you have a great sense of humor, are wellread and can carry on a stimulating conversa-tion, I would love to meet you. However, Ihave reached the point that I will not take a

chance on a blind date, dropping 30 or 40bucks on someone I may discover I don’tintend to see again. -- Tired of Paying

Dear Tired: We can understand why youdon’t want to spring for every first date, and weagree that women should offer to split the bill.It is especially important for women not to givethe impression that they are beholden in anyway because some men misinterpret a freemeal as a down payment on sex. Instead ofrisking an expensive lunch or dinner, meet forcoffee. Even a $7 latte shouldn’t break thebank, and either party can cut the date shortwithout feeling guilty.

Dear Annie: In response to all the sugges-tions for what to call a man and a woman liv-ing together without the benefit of marriage,I’m surprised your readers didn’t offer the fol-lowing: “shackmates.” The word is derived, ofcourse, from the once popular expression“shacking up.” -- California

Dear California: The derivation makes per-fect sense, but the word reminds us of twobeach bums sharing a hut. In London.

Nation’s largest carrieralso announces plansto cut domestic flightsand lay off workersBy DAVID KOENIGAssociated Press Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas —American Airlines will startcharging $15 for the firstchecked bag, cut domesticflights and lay off workers —probably in the thousands —as the nation’s largest carriergrapples with record-high fuelprices.

American plans to cutdomestic flight capacity by 11percent to 12 percent in thefourth quarter, after the peaksummer season is over. Thecarrier was previously plan-ning a 4.6 percent cut.

Shares of American parentAMR Corp. tumbled 24 per-cent, down $1.98 to $6.22, asoil prices shot past $130 perbarrel for the first time, sig-naling even more trouble forthe nation’s airlines.

American said rising oilprices have increased itsexpected annual fuel costs bynearly $3 billion since thestart of the year.

In a further sign of theproblems facing the industry,Southwest Airlines Co., theonly major U.S. carrier to posta profit in the first quarter,won’t earn as much for therest of 2008 as it did a yearearlier, its chief executivewarned.

American said Wednesdaythat the fee for the firstchecked bag starts June 15,and it will raise other fees forservices ranging from reserva-tion help to oversized bags.Those fees could cost between$5 to $50.

United Airlines, thenation’s No. 2 carrier, is “seri-ously studying” imposing itsown fee on first bags, spokes-woman Robin Urbanski said.Delta Air Lines, the third-largest, has no current plansfor a fee but is considering alloptions, spokeswoman BetsyTalton said. AirTran Airwaysand Northwest Airlines saidthey were weighing theirresponse.

Last month, Americanjoined other carriers in charg-ing $25 for a second bagchecked by passengers. Themajor airlines have also raisedfares about a dozen times inrecent months.

The first-bag fee will becharged to everyone exceptpeople who belong to elitelevels of its frequent flyer pro-gram, those who bought full-fare tickets, and those travel-ing overseas.

Chairman and ChiefExecutive Gerard J. Arpeysaid he expects the fees willraise “several hundred milliondollars” for American.

Arpey said American wasreducing flights and chargingmore fees to adapt to “the cur-

rent reality of slow economicgrowth and high oil prices.”He said the fees would alsoget customers to pay for ser-vices they want.

Arpey didn’t put a figureon the layoffs, but when askedwhether he expected them tobe in the thousands, hereplied, “I would think so.”

International flights aremore profitable, even withcostly fuel, so they are largelyuntouched by Wednesday’sannouncement. Overall,American will cut globalcapacity by 7 to 8 percent.

Arpey said he wanted tocut overhead and costs by thesame 7 to 8 percent, but hedeclined to comment whetherlayoffs would equal a similarpercentage of the work force.American has 82,000 employ-ees, while regional affiliateAmerican Eagle has 13,000.Both are owned by AMRCorp.

American expects to retire45 to 50 planes, most of themgas-guzzling MD-80 aircraft.Those were the planesgrounded for faulty wiringlast month. American Eaglewill also retire 30 to 35 jets,he said.

Even before news of thenew fees and layoffs, LehmanBrothers lowered its earningsoutlook for nearly all majorU.S. carriers, and SoleilSecurities cut its rating onAMR stock to “sell.” Soleilalso downgraded ContinentalAirlines Inc. to “hold” andUnited parent UAL Corp. to“sell.”

American announced itschanges as AMR shareholdersattended their annual meeting.During the meeting and out-side on the street, hundreds ofuniformed pilots and flightattendants protested againststock bonuses for manage-ment.

Southwest shareholdersmet a few miles away, and themood was festive despite thesomber backdrop of industryproblems. Shareholders gavea celebratory farewell to co-founder Herb Kelleher, whowas presiding over his lastmeeting as chairman.

CEO Gary C. Kelly, whoadded the title of chairman onWednesday, said he expectsSouthwest to remain prof-itable, as it has in every quar-ter since early 1991, but not asprofitable as it was in the sec-ond, third and fourth quartersof last year.

“I would love forSouthwest to grow modestlynext year and in 2010, but atthis point we’re not makingany announcements,” headded.

Southwest shares fell 57cents, or 4.4 percent, to$12.43 on Wednesday.

Clinton willing to takedelegate fight to conventionif Florida, Michigan willing

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Barack Obama criti-cized his likely general election rival JohnMcCain on Wednesday where it could hurtmost — the Arizona senator’s reputation as achampion of ethics. Hillary Rodham Clinton,meanwhile, raised the possibility she mightcarry her fight to the Democratic conventionfloor. With more superdelegate endorsementsWednesday after Kentucky and Oregon pri-maries the night before, Obama is just 64 dele-gates short of the 2,026 needed to clinch thenomination.

The Illinois senator confidently detouredWednesday from the three remainingDemocratic primary areas — Puerto Rico,Montana, South Dakota — to campaign inFlorida, a crucial state in the November gener-al election. He also kept his focus on McCain,the Republicans’ certain nominee in the fall.

Obama said the Arizona senator has lostfaith with his own good government princi-ples. Ten years ago, Obama said, McCain pro-posed barring registered lobbyists from work-ing for candidates’ campaigns.

Boston contemplates lifewithout a Kennedy representing it in Congress

BOSTON (AP) — After the Boston RedSox’s 86-year span without a World Serieschampionship, perhaps the most familiarstreak in Massachusetts is the half-century thata Kennedy has represented the state in the U.S.Senate.

Now, the news that Sen. Edward M.Kennedy has a cancerous brain tumor is forc-ing people to contemplate the day when he willno longer be there.

“It’s almost incalculable,” said ThaleiaSchlesinger, whose brother, former Sen. PaulTsongas, toiled in Kennedy’s oversize shadowbefore resigning in 1984 to cope with cancerthat eventually killed him in 1997. “He’s thego-to guy over and over again. You just look atthe universities, the hospitals, the high-techindustry, education, never mind health care.He’s always been there.”

Immigrants lining up at the John F. KennedyFederal Building, tourists strolling on the RoseF. Kennedy Greenway and ordinary folks whoreceived handwritten thank-you notes from thesenator or a surprise distinguished visitor at afamily wake pondered a future without TedKennedy.

“Forty-six years is a long time to be a sena-tor. That’s got to count for something when itcomes to delivering for the state,” said RonMills, who runs the shoeshine stand next to122 Bowdoin St., the Beacon Hill address JohnF. Kennedy claimed when he served in theHouse and Senate and was elected president in1960.

Israel and Syria holding indirect peace negotiations,mediated by Turkey

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel and Syriaunexpectedly announced Wednesday theresumption of peace talks after an eight-yearbreak, saying they have been speaking indi-rectly through Turkish mediators “in order toachieve the goal of comprehensive peace.”

The longtime adversaries each have some-thing to gain from the dialogue. Israel wants toreduce Syrian support for anti-Israel militantsin Gaza and Lebanon, while Syria is eager toimprove ties with the U.S. and end its interna-tional isolation.

The applause died down as thecrowd filed out of their seats on May9, the opening night of “The Grass IsGreener” at the Willits CommunityTheater.

The actors, glistening with sweatfrom their efforts, shook hands andaccepted the congratulations of theshow’s patrons including ChristopherMartin, who played Victor Ryhall inthe production.

One of the last passersby was aman who took Martin’s hand and con-gratulated him on his fantastic imita-tion of an English accent.

He laughed.Fear not, the accent is real.The native Englishman, who por-

trayed Victor Ryhall, is just one of thefive stars of the very British drama. Inaddition to Ryhall, the show also fea-tures Ryan Lynn Dunkelberg (Victor’swife Hillary), Kathy de Bane (Hattie),Tim Cooper (Charles Delacro) and IanStigliani (who played Sellers in addi-tion to assuming the director’s chair.)

The plot revolves around Victor andHillary, a down-on-their-luck Englishfamily who have taken to allowingtourists to take guided tours of theircastle in addition to growing mush-rooms. One of these visitors, CharlesDelacro, is a millionaire oil tycoonfrom America who takes quite a likingto Mrs. Ryhall, where a love triangleand high drama ensues.

The play was previously made intoa 1960 Golden Globe-nominatedmovie starring Cary Grant, DeborahKerr, Robert Mitchum, Jean Simmonsand Moray Watson.

Even with these shoes to fill, theplayers came through with flying col-ors.

You can catch the play during thelast portion of its run on Thursday,Friday and Saturday. Tickets are

priced at $15 on Friday and Saturdayand $10 for the Thursday showing.

In case you missed the WillitsCommunity Theater this time around,its next production, “Love, Sex andthe IRS” is slated to open Sept. 5 andstar, among others, Emmelia King,Bob Brumback, Charlie Lacey andKathy de Bane.

The Daily JournalOn Wednesday, June 4, at

Mendocino College LittleTheater, the Waldorf Schoolof Mendocino County willwelcome members of TheAmerican Eurythmy Schoolin a performance of spokenword and music, made visi-ble through the continuous-ly flowing gestures andchoreography of Eurythmy.

The performance willinclude poetry, live classicalmusic and a fairy tale, “TheBoy Who Was NeverAfraid.”

The name Eurythmy hasits origin in the Greek lan-guage and means harmo-nious rhythm.

Through Eurythmy, audi-ble experiences of drama,poetry and music becometransfused with the power-ful visual experience ofmovement.

The human body silentlyspeaks and sings throughimaginatively choreo-graphed movements thattranscend the physical expe-rience, striving toward uni-versal meaning.

Eurythmy first enteredthe cultural life of mankindin 1912.

It began in Europe under

the creative guidance ofRudolf Steiner, and hasbeen developing sincethrough the active working

of many devoted artists.There are Eurythmy schoolsand performance groups inthe United States, Europe

and elsewhere around theworld.

The American EurythmySchool was founded in 1984by Karen ShermanMcPherson, who began herown training at theGoetheanum EurythmySchool in Switzerland.

She went on to workintensively with IlonaSchubert and FriedelThomas, two of the originalEurythmists who trainedand worked with Dr.Steiner. There are manygraduates of The AmericanEurythmy School workingthroughout America, teach-ing and performing.

The June 4th perfor-mance begins at 6:30 p.m.and will be enjoyed byadults and children alike.Bring family and friends toexperience this unique artform.

Tickets are available inadvance at The WaldorfSchool office in Calpella, orat the Mendocino BookCompany in Ukiah.Advance ticket prices are$10 for adults, $5 for chil-dren. Adult tickets are $12at the door.

From the desk of...No fair

To the Editor:This letter is in regard to the front page

article on May 8 in the Ukiah DailyJournal, “D.A. solicits views on AndersonParole.” Carl Anderson who was sentencedto life with parole plus 5 years for his partin the shooting incident that happened inAugust of 1993 will have served 13 yearscome July of 2008. Carl’s brother andcodefendant in this same case went on therun for 5 years until he eventually waspulled over and arrested. He received 5years and did a little over 2 years for hispart in this incident. Carl’s brother andcodefendant in this case has since been out,off parole for a few years now and livinghis life with his family. While Carl sits inprison still. Carl’s children were 8, 10 and12. They are now 21, 23 and 25. He hasthree grandchildren now that are 1, 3 and 5.Carl has paid his debt to society five timesover what his brother and codefendantpaid. With all due respect, Ms. Lintott,when will enough be enough? Where is thejustice?

Marianne AndersonWillits

Opposes Measure BTo the Editor:I would like to state some facts before

we head to the polls and decide the fate ofMeasure B.

California spends more money on pris-ons than it does on education “For the firsttime, and unique among large states,California will soon spend more on its pris-ons than on its public universities. It hasbeen projected that over the next fiveyears, the state’s budget for locking uppeople will rise by 9 percent annually,compared with its spending on higher edu-cation, which will rise only by 5 percent.By the 2012-2013 fiscal year, $15.4 billionwill be spent on incarcerating Californians,as compared with $15.3 billion spent oneducating them. Yet, despite this historicincrease in prison funding, leading legisla-tors -- including supporters of the increase-- and even Governor ArnoldSchwarzenegger’s office agree that this issimply throwing good money after bad,given the rank mismanagement plaguingCalifornia’s corrections system.” May 29,2007, San Francisco Chronicle

The news just reported a 10 percent hikein California University fees (Channel 2news). Locally, Measure A was shot downand our local schools are in trouble. Whyare we creating a law that will add morefelons to an already overcrowded expen-sive prison system? Does MendocinoCounty really need a new jail?

In 1998 California spent $25,000 a yearon a prisoner this does not include medical,drug treatment, or administrative costs.(Little Hoover Commission Report 1/1998p24). With the soaring prices I imaginethis number has rose significantly over thelast 10 years. With teachers being laid offlocally can you imagine one prisonerwould equal one teacher? “The correlationbetween the lack of educational opportuni-ties and imprisonment could not be moredirect. The same study found that 18-to-24-year-old male high school dropouts had anincarceration rate 31 times that of maleswho graduated from a four-year college.”Despite these realities, we not only contin-ue to feed the prison system at the expenseof funding education, we’ve also blurredthe lines separating the educational andcriminal justice systems, creating a school-to-prison pipeline with a predictable andsteady flow. Police have become anincreasing presence in our public elemen-tary, middle and high schools.” 5/29/07SFC

The laws on the books already make it acrime for commercial growing. It is acrime for underage children to possessmarijuana, alcohol or cigarettes. Parentingand education is the issue not more govern-ment intervention!

Measure B would 1) repeal Measure Gso as to re-criminalize personal use grow-ing, and 2) subject medical marijuanapatients to arrest and prosecution on felonycharges for growing more than six (6)plants, forcing many people into the crimi-nal market.

Cannabis farmers’ woes?To the Editor:I grow marijuana commercially. I realize that saying so is risky, but I

write you now to educate the public so thatone day my kind may be treated with therespect we deserve.

First, let me say that my colleagues andI prefer to be called Cannabis Farmers. Weuse the word Cannabis, because our workis scientific (hence the Latin), and farmers,because we are no different from thosehard working Americans who grow corn,rice, or soybeans (except, perhaps for thefact that we drive much nicer cars).

I became a cannabis farmer afterProposition 215 passed because I wanted todo something for my community. It was asacrifice, let me tell you. Back then, wehad to cultivate our crops in secret, withdark film over the windows so we wouldn’tbe confused with drug dealers. Becausethere are no Federal subsidies for cannabisfarmers (we remain hopeful), it took everycent I had for my startup equipment: growlights, climate controls, electricity, soil,chemicals. And have you seen the price ofammunition lately? Shameful.

Despite these obstacles, I got my opera-tion running, and I never looked back. I’vetaken the film off the windows and --thanks to Measure G -- I’ve added manyacres of outdoor crops to my farm. I evenhave little numbered zip ties for my plants.The county gets $20 for each one, and I get

a nice feeling of legitimacy, so everyone’shappy.

My cannabis has helped hundreds ofthousands of sick people -- none I’ve met,mind you, but I can infer from my yield,which since Measure G, has been phenom-enal. In addition to helping the sick, myfarm keeps local independent businessesalive, including garden centers, bottledCO2 suppliers, smoke shops, and pit bullbreeders, just to name a few.

But the dark ages are not over. Despitemy sacrifices, I am persecuted by the pub-lic. They complain that Cannabis Farmersdon’t pay taxes, which is simply untrue. Ipay property taxes for four houses inBrooktrails -- and I don’t even live in them.Does that seem fair to you?

My friend John Pinches, understands.Johnny (I call him Johnny when we tail-gate) tells me I should run for office, justlike he did. “Think of the damage we coulddo!” he says.

“Don’t worry, Johnny,” I tell him,“You’re doing enough damage for the bothof us.” Besides, the business keeps mepretty busy. I work hard, and my laborsallow me to take vacations, buy real estatewith cash, and dabble in other businesseswithout the worry that they must profit.Isn’t that what the American dream is allabout? Who knows -- maybe I can evenmake my cannabis available to localschools kids. There is just so much need.

Obviously, cannabis farmers deservemore respect than they get. We bring peo-ple together with a sense of common pur-pose -- particularly in the fall. Some day,maybe, we’ll be seen as the heroes we are.But until then, I’ll just keep doing what Ido, and reminding myself what MotherTheresa once said: “Give until it hurts,because real love hurts.”

Letters from our readers

EJ DIONNE JR.

V i s i t o u r w e b s i t e a t u k i a h d a i l y j o u r n a l . c o me m a i l u s a t u d j @ p a c i f i c . n e t

E.J. Dionne Jr. began his twice-weekly op-ed column for The Washington Post in 1993.In 1996, it was syndicated by TheWashington Post Writers Group, and he nowappears in more than 90 newspapers in theUS and abroad.

In our opinion

Imagine what it would be like not to be able tomarry the person with whom you want to spend therest of your life. Then imagine how tens of thousandsof gays and lesbians in California must have felt lastweek when the California Supreme Court declaredthat homosexuals have a right to marriage under thestate’s Constitution.

My visceral reaction to this decision, rendered by amoderately conservative court dominated byRepublicans, was to share the joy of the gay and les-bian couples you saw celebrating on television. Butmy practical reaction was to wonder whether this deci-sion would speed or slow our country’s steady changeof heart on the matter of recognizing committed gayrelationships.

As it happens, I am one of the millions ofAmericans whose minds have changed on this issue.Like many of my fellow citizens, I was sympathetic togranting gay couples the rights of married people, butbalked at applying the word “marriage” to theirunions.

“That word and the idea behind it,” I wrote 13 yearsago, “carry philosophical and theological meaningsthat are getting increasingly muddled and couldbecome more so if it were applied even more broad-ly.”

Like a lot of people, I decided I was wrong. Whatmoved me were the conservative arguments for gaymarriage put forward by the writers Jonathan Rauch,Andrew Sullivan, and New York Times columnistDavid Brooks.

They see society as having a powerful interest inbuilding respect for long-term commitment and fideli-ty in sexual relationships and that gay marriage under-scores how important commitment is. Prohibitingmembers of one part of our population from making apublic and legal commitment to each other does notstrengthen marriage; it weakens it.

And, as a New York Court of Appeals judge citedby the California court majority noted, fundamentalrights “cannot be denied to particular groups on theground that these groups have historically been deniedthose rights.” If history and tradition had constrainedus, equal rights for African-Americans would neverhave become law.

But to find a constitutional right to gay marriage,the California majority chose to argue that the state’svery progressive law endorsing domestic partnershipsfor homosexuals -- it grants all the rights of marriageexcept the name -- was itself a form of discrimination.

This is odd and potentially destructive. As JusticeCarol Corrigan argued in her dissent, “to make its casefor a constitutional violation, the majority distorts anddiminishes the historic achievements” of the state’sDomestic Partnership Act.

That’s true, and in many states, it will take years fora political and legal consensus in favor of gay mar-riage to develop. In the interim, civil unions or domes-tic partnerships are the best hope homosexuals in thesestates have for some form of legal recognition for theirrelationships. The danger is that foes of civil unionswill use the court’s own logic to argue that sucharrangements are not a political halfway house butlead inexorably to gay marriage. It would be unfortu-nate if California’s breakthrough were used to stallsignificant if more modest progress elsewhere.

There is a complicated interaction between courtdecisions and the working of democratic politics. Onthe one hand, there are times when only the courts canvindicate the rights of minorities. On the other hand,rights are more firmly rooted when they are estab-lished or ratified by democratic majorities. In the caseof gay marriage in California, a majority could stilloverturn this decision by amending the stateConstitution to ban same-sex marriage -- and a propo-sition to this effect is likely to appear on this fall’s bal-lot.

Corrigan stated flatly that she personally supportsgay marriage but argued that in a democracy, “the peo-ple should be given a fair chance to set the pace ofchange without judicial interference.” She added: “Ifthere is to be a new understanding of the meaning ofmarriage in California, it should develop among thepeople of our state and find its expression at the ballotbox.”

The good news from California is that the peoplewill ultimately decide the question, and I hope that areaction against “judicial activism” does not hamperthe marriage equality movement. As for most otherstates, domestic partnerships and civil unions willcome long before gay marriage does. Nothing theCalifornia court majority said should deter these statesfrom recognizing that gays and lesbians, no less thanheterosexuals, have a right to the community’s recog-nition of the seriousness of their commitments.

Will it help?

Kudos go out to the Ukiah Rotary Clubfor its ongoing efforts to bring back the won-derfully retro rocket ship at Todd GrovePark.

Closed for about a decade due to it’sequally retro safety standards, the rocketship still fascinates local children - and par-ents - and we’re delighted that it could soonbe reopened for play.

Towering over the children’s playground,the rocket ship provides a multilevel playspace that takes children up into the air - just

like, um, a rocket ship - and gives them abird’s eye view of the park, their parents andtheir playmates.

How cool is that?The Rotary Club is still looking for some

financial support to help defray the costs ofgetting the rocket ship ready for a summerreopening.

Here’s how to help: Send a check to: The Ukiah Rotary Club,

I definitely feel like castingfor this film was done verywell. The fact that they havecontinued to keep the sameactors for each film and haveshown them getting older andgrowing up is exactly whatshould be done. Many filmsthese days will still be made ifthe leading actors can’t do thefilm which leads to majortrouble at the box office. Allof these kids in this movie areincredibly talented and fit per-fectly for these parts.

Sets were quite amazing forthis film. Meant to take placein the mythical land of Narnia,

after many years since the lastmovie has passed, it is trulyremarkable. Scenery wasmagnificent and very welldone.

Special effects were verygood. Much of the CGI wasflawless and in no way did Isee anything that could havebeen improved.

This film as a secondmovie to the series is some-thing the whole family can seeand I highly recommend it toanyone looking for a greatadventure.

MTA’s Wrapped Bus to be displayed at festival

Last fall the Mendocino Transit Authoritysponsored a contest seeking a design that was“uniquely Willits” to be applied on the surfaceof the vehicles that operate the new Willits ser-vice, the Willits Rider. Several local artistssubmitted designs and two artists were select-ed and shared the $500 price.

“We felt that the artist has both submitteddesigns that were very similar and truly depict-ed the essence of Willits,” explained MTAspokesperson, Glenna Blake. Blake then tookthe artwork to her graphic designer, VictoriaHand, and had her combine the entries. Thefinal design incorporates the Willits Arch,Seabiscuit, the Skunk Train positioned amongrolling hills and redwood trees. The prize-win-ning artists were 5th grader, Jessie King andWillits resident, Lynne Nagel.

This year, MTA will display the wrappedbus at the 27th Annual Willits CommunityFestival and Car Show. Both artists and graph-ic artist Victoria Hand will be there to meet thepublic and talk about their experience.

INDIANAPOLIS — HelioCastroneves has been living at a rel-atively pedestrian pace since he gotback behind the wheel of a race car.

In the months following his“Dancing With the Stars” title lastNovember, he called off his engage-ment, went on a national tour withthe other dancers, and had a seem-ingly endless stream of interviewsand appearances.

And, oh yes, he’s also been racinghis Team Penske IndyCar.

Now, the charismatic Brazilianwith the big smile and fancy foot-work is focused on his true passion— driving.

“After the ’Dancing’ and the tour,I couldn’t wait to get back into a racecar because it slowed down (mylife),” Castroneves told TheAssociated Press last week in hisgarage at the Indianapolis MotorSpeedway. “Literally, the speed isgoing faster, but the rest of the out-side stuff really slowed down a lot.”

Castroneves said his appearanceon one of America’s most popular

television shows served its purposebecause it brought the Indy RacingLeague to a new group of potentialfans. He hopes some remember himand watch the Indianapolis 500 onSunday, when he tries to add to hiswins in 2001 and 2002.

“People that have no idea aboutracing know my name,” he said.“Probably now, they’re going to betuning into racing. That’s what Iwant. It obviously helped my name,and I believe it helped this series tobe out there. I think it was a win-winsituation.

New fans could see Castronevesjoin an elite group. Only three dri-vers — Mauri Rose in the 1940s, A.J.Foyt in the 1960s and Al Unser in the1970s — have won three Indy 500sin a single decade.

Castroneves has driven in sevenIndy 500s, placing in the top threefour times and the top 10 six times.He finished third last year, and willstart fourth in the 33-car field thisyear.

“I do feel I have a great car,” hesaid. “Inside second row is a fantas-tic place to start.”

Castroneves’ popularity off thetrack didn’t cost him with die-hardfans, either. MainGate, a companythat tallies merchandise sales, saidlast week that his numbers at trackswere up 68 percent from last year atthe same time.

Castroneves says none of thataffects him.

“Certainly, I got a little moreexposure, but I’m still the same,” hesaid. “I love what I do, I enjoy beinghere in race cars. This is my world,and that’s what I’ve lived for all my

DENVER — Omar Vizquel dou-bled to start a game-tying rally inthe ninth and then drove in the win-ning run with a sacrifice fly in the10th, leading the San FranciscoGiants to a 3-2 win over theColorado Rockies on Wednesday.

Brian Wilson struck out OmarQuintanilla looking for the final outin the 10th to pick up his 14th savein 16 chances.

Tyler Walker (2-2) got the winafter setting down the Rockies inthe ninth.

Ray Durham led off the 10thwith a single and Rich Aurilia drew

a walk off Matt Herges (2-1). AfterFred Lewis’ fielder’s choice movedDurham to third, Vizquel lifted a flyto left, easily scoring Durham withthe go-ahead run.

The Giants scored twice in theninth off closer Brian Fuentes to tiethe game. Vizquel led off with adouble and came home on BengieMolina’s one-out single to center.

With two outs, pinch hitter SteveHolm laced a double to left-centerto bring in Molina. Holm had beena late scratch from the game due toflu-like symptoms.

The comeback spoiled UbaldoJimenez’s sensational outing. The24-year-old went seven innings,

scattering three hits while strikingout one and walking two. He waslooking for his first win since April8 against Atlanta. Jimenez is now0-3 with five no decisions since thatvictory.

Willy Taveras, Matt Hollidayand Ryan Spilborghs all had twohits for the Rockies, who lost forthe second straight day.

The two longest active hittingstreaks in the majors both came toan end Wednesday. Randy Winnhad hit safely in 15 in a row beforean 0-for-4 afternoon, while ClintBarmes’ streak of 13 straight washalted after going hitless in fiveplate appearances.

Winn had a potential extra-basehit taken away from him whenTodd Helton made a nifty short-handed grab of his hard shot downthe line. He was also intentionallywalked in the 10th.

Starter Jonathan Sanchez last 61-3 innings, surrendering eight hitsand two runs while striking out fivein the no decision.

The left-handed Sanchez did asolid job of damage control, strik-ing out Chris Iannetta with thebases loaded in the third and thengetting Iannetta to pop up to shal-low right with two on in the fifth.

Andrew Bynumundergoes kneesurgery in New York

LOS ANGELES — CenterAndrew Bynum underwent arthro-scopic knee surgery Wednesday inNew York, and the Los AngelesLakers said they expect him to makea full recovery by the start of trainingcamp next fall.

The 30-minute procedure, per-formed by Dr. David Altchek, con-sisted of removing some cartilagedebris and smoothing some roughspots on the underside of Bynum’sleft kneecap, the team said.

Bynum had the operation on thesame day the Lakers opened theWestern Conference finals against theSan Antonio Spurs at Staples Center.

Bynum hasn’t played since suffer-ing a bone bruise in his knee and asubluxation of the kneecap — a briefdislocation that popped back intoplace — in the third quarter of a 100-99 victory over Memphis on Jan. 13.He was having a breakout season,averaging 13.1 points, 10.2 reboundsand 2.1 blocked shots in 35 games.

The Lakers estimated a day afterthe 20-year-old center was injuredthat he’d be sidelined eight to 12weeks. But coach Phil Jackson saidApril 21 that a return this season wasremote, and Bynum said much thesame thing shortly thereafter.

Dr. Altchek examined Bynum inNew York on April 10 and declined toclear him for practice. The 7-footerwas examined again May 7 inPrinceton, N.J., by Dr. Steven Gecha,who said there had been someimprovement in the knee, but recom-mended exploratory surgery if therewasn’t more in the ensuing three tofour weeks. The surgery was per-formed two weeks after that.

Despite Bynum’s absence, theLakers went 57-25 to earn the topseed in the West, and 8-2 to eliminateDenver and Utah from the playoffs toreach the conference finals for thefirst time since 2004.

Bynum, the 10th overall pick in the2005 NBA draft, averaged 1.6 pointsand 1.7 rebounds in 46 games as arookie, and 7.8 points, 5.9 reboundsand 1.56 blocked shots in 82 games inhis second season.

Marlins end Webb’swinning streak

MIAMI (AP) — The surprisingFlorida Marlins used a brazen bunt tohelp end Brandon Webb’s winningstreak.

Florida scored its first run on a sui-cide squeeze, and Ricky Nolascoallowed only three hits over seveninnings to beat Webb and the ArizonaDiamondbacks 3-1 on Wednesdaynight.

Webb (9-1) was bidding to becomeonly the third pitcher since World WarI to win his first 10 starts. Instead, heleft for a pinch hitter after allowingsix hits and three runs in seveninnings.

Florida won for the second straightnight in the matchup of first-placeteams. The NL West-leadingDiamondbacks came into the serieswith the best record in the majors, butthey have totaled three runs and 10hits in the first two games against theMarlins, who lead the NL Eastdespite baseball’s lowest payroll.

OAKLAND — From about thetime he started driving, DanaEveland began hearing the com-parisons to David Wells.

“If you’re a chubby lefty italways gets you the comparison,”said Eveland, whose back is cov-ered in an “EVELAND” tattoo.

The Oakland Athletics sudden-ly have found some power — andEveland definitely did his part byshutting down Tampa Bay’s tal-ented lineup.

Eveland pitched a three-hitterfor his first career complete game,Jack Cust homered twice and theA’s avoided being swept at homeby the Rays for the first time witha 9-1 win Wednesday.

Jack Hannahan also connectedfor Oakland, in a game that lasted

just 2 hours, 6 minutes. But thiswas Eveland’s day all the way.

He outpitched AndySonnanstine to end a four-startwinless stretch as the A’s ended afive-game losing streak in theseries. It was Oakland’s third vic-tory in 12 games and ended athree-game skid.

“This is a big win for us,”Eveland said. “We’ve got to win athome. I love seeing these guysswing the bat.”

The A’s have only two completegames this season, and whenCarlos Pena popped out to end it,Eveland pumped his fist on themound. He made sure managerBob Geren sent him out for theninth.

Eveland (4-3) struck out fiveand walked one in an efficient 95-pitch outing, winning for the first

time since April 25 at Seattle.“We couldn’t do anything

against them,” Rays manager JoeMaddon said. “They pretty muchspiked us.”

Cust played with Wells andthinks Eveland might throw hard-er. Eveland struck out Cust in hisfirst at-bat in the initial intrasquadgame at spring training this year.

Bobby Crosby broke a score-less tie with a two-run double inthe third and singled twice afterthat. Hannahan hit a solo homer inthe fifth for his third of the year,Crosby then singled and Cust fol-lowed with a two-run shot. Hissixth homer of the year made it 6-0.

MOSCOW — ManchesterUnited beat Chelsea 6-5 in arain-soaked penalty shootoutto win the EuropeanChampions League titleWednesday night following a1-1 tie.

In the first final betweentwo English teams, Edwin vander Sar batted away NicolasAnelka’s drive on the 14thkick to give ManchesterUnited its third ChampionsLeague title. This champi-onship, following titles in1968 and 1999, came in the50th anniversary year of theplane crash that killed eightUnited players in Munich,Germany.

Cristiano Ronaldo hadscored in the 26th minute forManchester United, his 42ndgoal of the season. FrankLampard tied it for Chelsea inthe 45th at Luzhniki Stadium,pointing both hands skywardin honor of his mother, whodied last month.

Ronaldo, considered bymany Europe’s top player thisseason, was stopped by goal-keeper Petr Cech on United’sthird penalty kick. That gavethe advantage to Chelsea,which has never wonEurope’s top club title.

“When we missed thepenalty kick, we thought wewere in trouble,” said United’sAlex Ferguson, who led theclub to its 22nd title overallsince he became manager inSeptember 1986.

Chelsea captain John Terrystepped up with the score 4-4and the chance to win it. Buthe slipped and his kick hit apost as Manchester keeper

Edwin van der Sar dived theother way. Terry sat on theground in disbelief.

“I was thinking he’s goingto score,” United defender RioFerdinand said of Terry, hisdefensive teammate on theEngland squad. “He’s a greatpenalty taker normally. but heslipped.”

Anderson and Ryan Giggs— making his club-record759th appearance — thenconverted for United aroundSalomon Kalou’s score forChelsea.

That left it up to Anelka,whose failure at just past 1:30a.m. set off another celebra-tion for the Red Devils, who10 days earlier won their sec-ond straight English PremierLeague title by beating outChelsea on the final day of theseason.

While his teammates ran tocongratulate Van der Sar infront of the United fansbehind the goal, Ronaldo layface down in the center circle.Eventually he got up to join inthe celebrations.

Terry was in tears at theend and was hugged and con-soled by coach Avram Grant,who appeared to throw hisrunners-up medal towardChelsea fans.

Carlos Tevez, MichaelCarrick, Owen Hargreavesand Nani scored the otherkicks for the Red Devils.Michael Ballack, JulianoBelletti, Lampard, AshleyCole converted for Chelsea.

Manchester United won itsfirst European title since itwas purchased three years agoby Malcolm Glazer, whoseTampa Bay Buccaneers wonthe 2003 Super Bowl.

Chelsea, which has becomea European power under high-spending Russian ownerRoman Abramovich, finishedwith 10 men after DidierDrogba was ejected in the116th minute for petulantlytapping Nemanja Vidic in theface with his hand.

Only the pre-game openingceremony made it look likeMoscow. After that it couldhave been Old Trafford,Stamford Bridge or Wembleyas players so familiar witheach other were roared on byEnglish fans.

The first 25 minutes, how-ever, were a poor advertise-ment for the Premier Leagueas Chelsea stifled United’sefforts to create moves and theaction got stuck in the mid-field.

Ronaldo, poorly marked byMichael Essien, Ronaldoheaded in a cross from WesBrown, who had neatlyswapped passes with PaulScholes on the right wing.Ronaldo scored a ChampionsLeague-leading eight goals in11 matches, and his seasontotal was third in United histo-ry behind Denis Law (46 in1963-64) and Ruud vanNistelrooy (44 in 2002-3).

Chelsea equalized whenEssien’s shot hit defendersVidic and Ferdinand, and theball dropped to the unmarkedLampard, who scored from 12yards.

Lampard hit the crossbar inthe fourth minute of injurytime with a left-footed shotfrom 15 yards. Giggs, whobroke Bobby Charlton’srecord for United appear-ances, nearly broke the tie inthe 100th but Terry deflectedthe shot with his head.

Giants

For The Daily JournalOn Tuesday, Ukiah High

School traveled out toRedwoods High School for aNCS playoff game and strug-gled in an 8-1 loss.

“It was just one of thosedays,” said a disappointedUkiah Head Coach GaryVenturi after the loss. “It wasreally windy and we juststruggled to get anythinggoing.”

Leading the way for Ukiahin the loss was Jenna Bumpuswho was 2 for 4 from the plate

with a double. HillaryRuddick was 2 for 3 with twosingles and Kari Donnellywas 1 for 3. Rounding out thehits on the day for theWildcats were Janae Pantle,Melissa Reyes and KaraKvashicka who each finished1 for 3.

After a very solid year, theWildcats season now comes toa close. It was a disappointingfinish but the girls played hardand made a run into NCSwhich is nothing to beashamed of.

Wildcats fall to RedwoodsHigh School in NCS tournament

when the Marlins scoredtwice to take the lead. LuisGonzalez tripled with one out,then took off on a 1-0 pitch asTreanor bunted up the first-base line. Gonzalez scoredstanding up and Treanor wastagged out.

Ross then hit his fifthhomer, pulling a 2-0 pitchover the scoreboard. It wasonly the third home runallowed by Webb this season.

Florida added a run in theseventh on Dan Uggla’s dou-ble and a single by Gonzalez.

Jeremy Roenickagrees to returnto Sharks

SAN JOSE — JeremyRoenick agreed to a one-yearcontract Wednesday to returnto the San Jose Sharks afterhis revitalizing comeback sea-son with the club.

Roenick, a 19-year veteran,had 14 goals and 19 assists forthe Sharks after coming out ofsemi-retirement for anothershot at the Stanley Cup. Thenine-time All-Star became thethird American-born player toscore 500 career goals in early

November, and the sometimesoutspoken forward earnedpraise for his quiet veteranleadership and steady play.

Roenick, who finished sec-ond in the NHL with 10 game-winning goals, had a career-best four-point playoff perfor-mance in San Jose’s first-round victory over Calgary inGame 7 before the Sharkswere eliminated in the secondround by Dallas.

Roenick all but confirmedhe would return for his 20thNHL season after the Sharkslost to the Stars in six games.

The Sharks didn’tannounce terms of his deal,but Roenick said two weeksago that he expected to signfor around $1 million.

Briefly

two-run drive to center, thistime off Jason Hammel. Custcame up big after FrankThomas connected three timesover the previous two games.

“Home runs come and go,”Cust said. “You go throughstreaks when you hit them andyou go through streaks whenyou don’t. Having a guy inyour lineup who’s hit 500-plus home runs, he’s going tohit some.”

It was the third career mul-tihomer game for Cust andfirst since Aug. 14 against theChicago White Sox.

Eveland wasn’t so focusedon his own outing that hecouldn’t speak to Cust back inthe dugout. The pitcher said,“Way to go, Custie.”

The A’s have homered in aseason-high five straightgames, getting 10 longballsduring that stretch. Thomashit two Monday and anotherTuesday to help get thingsrolling.

“Frank kind of set the tonethere hitting home runs,”Hannahan said.

Jonny Gomes homeredleading off the eighth to spoil

Eveland’s shot at the shutout,which would have been thefirst of 2008 for the A’s.

The Rays were trying fortheir first sweep of an ALopponent in the state ofCalifornia. They took all threefrom the Padres in San Diegoin 2004. Now, Tampa Bay willhead back to Florida for itslongest homestand of the sea-son, 10 games at TropicanaField.

Sonnanstine (6-2) retiredthe first eight A’s battersbefore Gregorio Petit’s two-out single in the third. AfterHannahan walked, Crosbylined a two-run double downthe left-field line for the lead.Emil Brown doubled in anoth-er run in the fourth one dayafter he lost the ball in thelights on Dioner Navarro’sthree-run double that led toTampa Bay’s 3-2 victory.

Fans were still razzingBrown about it Wednesday,though the play was changedfrom a three-run error to a hitafter the game.

Brown doubled again tostart the sixth and Kurt Suzukidoubled him home two batterslater.

Sonnanstine — who has aknack for being deceptive —struck out a season-high six

batters but the right-handerstill saw the end to his five-game winning streak, whichmatched the third longest inclub history. He also lost onthe road for the first time thisyear after starting 4-0. He hadbeen 11-3 since last Aug. 15— and only Arizona’sBrandon Webb and Chien-Ming Wang have more winsduring that stretch.

“I threw good pitches andthey hit them. I threw badpitches and they hit them,”Sonnanstine said.

The A’s have lost fourstraight series and things don’tget any easier this weekend,when the World Series cham-pion Boston Red Sox come totown for the second time thisyear. Oakland will see JonLester on Sunday fresh off hisno-hitter against the KansasCity Royals on Monday night.

life.”Castroneves, whose resume

still lacks a series champi-onship, leads the IRL pointsstandings even though he has-n’t won a race this year. Heplaced fourth in the opener atHomestead, second at St.Petersburg, second at TwinRing Motegi in Japan andfourth at Kansas Speedwaylast month.

“It’s consistency,” he said.“So far, we’ve been in theright place at the right time. Ido believe this year, it’s goingto take that to win the champi-onship.”

He’d like to balance hisconsistency with a few victo-ries.

“Yes, you do have to win as

well,” he said. “Certainly,other teams seem to be a littlemore aggressive, but we’reright there. We just need tofind a little more, and work alittle more to get that win.”

Castroneves didn’t waituntil May to show up inIndianapolis. He and partnerJulianne Hough dancedbetween the first and secondquarters of an Indiana Pacersgame on Nov. 2, nearly amonth before he wasannounced as the season fivewinner.

“It was scary at firstbecause people know me hereas a race car driver,” he said.“I can’t thank enough theIndianapolis and Indiana areafor the support because Ireceived a lot of votes fromhere. Without those votes, Iwouldn’t have been able towin.”

Though he has received alot of positive buzz, he alsogot unexpected attention fromtabloids. His engagement tolongtime girlfriend AliVasquez was broken off rightafter he won the “Dancing”title, and he was besieged withrumors that he was datingHough, even though he con-sistently has denied a roman-tic relationship.

Castroneves never ran fromthe questions or changed hisapproach to people after theattention increased.

“Everything was normal,natural, and the way it comesis the way it goes,” he said. “Iwasn’t trying to ’Oh, I have togo hide myself.’ If you want toask me, go ahead and ask,there is nothing to hide. That’swhy it turned out to be good— because people got to findout who I am.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) —Kobe Bryant and the LosAngeles Lakers waited untilthe third quarter to get going.Once they did, the SanAntonio Spurs couldn’t stopthem.

Bryant scored all but two ofhis 27 points after halftime,including a go-ahead, 10-footjumper in the lane with 23.9seconds remaining, and theLakers rallied from a 20-pointdeficit to beat the Spurs 89-85on Wednesday night in Game1 of the Western Conferencefinals.

Bryant’s jumper put theLakers ahead for good aftertwo free throws by ManuGinobili with 1:22 remainingand a follow shot by TimDuncan with 41 seconds lefttied the game at 85. Ginobili

then missed a 3-pointer, andSasha Vujacic made two freethrows with 7.3 secondsremaining to complete thescoring.

Duncan led the Spurs with30 points, 18 rebounds andfour blocked shots. TonyParker added 18 points, 10rebounds and six assists,Bruce Bowen had 12 pointsand Ginobili scored 10 for theSpurs. Ginobili shot just 3-for-13.

Two straight baskets byBryant cut San Antonio’s leadto three points with eight min-utes remaining. Bowen madea 3-pointer with 7:38 left, butthe Spurs went stone cold atthat stage, going scoreless fornearly 6 1/2 minutes.

The Lakers took advantage,scoring 10 straight points to

take their first lead of thegame. Bryant put them aheadfor the first time by makingtwo foul shots with 2:42 left,and added a jumper 24 sec-onds later following aturnover to make it 85-81.

The Spurs outscored theLakers 14-2 to start the thirdquarter for a 65-45 lead, draw-ing groans from the crowd of18,997 at Staples Center,where the Lakers haven’t lostsince March 28.

Suddenly, the Lakers cametogether, scoring 14 straightpoints in a span of 3:05 todraw within six. Bryant hadseven points and two assistsduring the run.

Ginobili’s 3-pointer endeda four-minute scorelessdrought, and the Spurs led 72-65 entering the fourth quarter.

THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL THURSDAY, MAY 22, 2008 – A-13ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

The Daily JournalWhen Mischa Hedges

screens his latestfilm, Sustainable Table, at theMendocino Film Festival onMay 30 in St. Anthony’s Hallat 2 p.m., it will mark a home-coming.

Hedges grew up inMendocino, the son of cellistMarcia Sloane and the lateguitarist Michael Hedges, andhe discovered a passion forfilmmaking while still goingto Mendocino High School.“I’m looking forward to com-ing to the Festival and cominghome,” he said in a recentphone interview.

His first production was afilm on the Big River water-shed, ”Big River: A ResourceWorth Protecting,” madewhile he was still a student.The focus of the film was theimmanent sale of the BigRiver area, and the filmbecame a cornerstone of sav-ing this resource. “I realizedthat film can make a differ-ence,” Hedges said. “That’swhat finalized my decision toattend film school and under-take filmmaking as a career.”

He pursued film studies inSouthern California, movingto Las Angeles when he was18. There he produced a studyof drug addiction amongminors called Way Ahead ofTheir Time. “After it wascompleted we showed it tosome of the kids in the pro-gram and they said we hit thenail on the head. It’s proved tobe a useful peer educationtool.”

These experiences taughtHedges about the transforma-tive power of film as a vehiclefor change. “My goal in film-making is to raise people’s

awareness and educate peopleabout things in their everydaylives, and show them thingsthey can do to have a positiveimpact on the world.”

Sustainable Table is aimedat raising awareness how thefood we eat is produced. “Iwas already familiar withsome of these issues fromgrowing up in Mendocino.My family had a garden andwe shopped at Harvest Marketfor organic produce. Afterseeing a short animation pro-duced by the Sierra Clubabout some of the sameissues, I felt there needed tobe a live action version aboutthis topic.”

He and his crew set outover nine months to explorethe food production industryin California and Oregon,talking to farmers, advocates,and a variety of spokespeople,including a vegan body-builder, a field manager at anorganic farm, and a represen-

tative of the NationalCattlemen’s Association.

“It was an amazing experi-ence,” Hedges says. “It hasreceived a great response atother festivals. I’ve had manypeople tell me they’ll nevereat the same way again, some-times to their dismay, some-times they are grateful. We[eat] three times a day. It’s ahuge part of who we are, andwho we are as a culture aswell.”

The Film Festival will bepresenting 70 feature, docu-mentary, and short films forthis celebration of indepen-dent filmmaking. For moreinformation, got o w w w . M e n d o c i n oFilmFestival.org. Tickets areon sale by phone at 937-2199,and Festival programs areavailable at Harvest Market,Headlands Cafe, Moody's,and many inns, restaurantsand galleries throughout theCoast.

Studies, the study showed thatof the 4,163 farmworkers inthe county in 2006, halfworked for less than threemonths, 16 percent were onthe job for three to six monthsand 34 percent wereemployed for seven months ormore.

The study showed the over-whelming majority of work-ers, 90 percent, were perma-nent residents of the county,with only 3 percent of theremaining following the crop.

The survey found that justover one-third of county farm-workers were accompanied bya spouse and/or children, with28 percent including childrenunder 18, and 46 percent withthree or more children. Thestudy found that 68 percent ofthose children lived with theirparents only, 15 percent livedwith unrelated adults, and 17percent resided with parentsand unrelated adults.

Just over half, 54 percent,of the farmworkers who werequestioned reported that theyrented, while nearly all of therest, 43 percent, said theywere provided housing bytheir employer. Only 2.6 per-cent said that they owned theirown house.

Crowded living conditionswere reported by the majority,51 percent, of county farm-workers. Crowded living con-ditions were defined as morethan one person per room. The

average number of residentsper room was 1.25. Nearly aquarter of those whoanswered, 23 percent, report-ed living in severely crowdedliving conditions, where morethan 1.5 people were said tobe living in a single room.

Problems like excessivenoise, lack of privacy, chal-lenges getting repairs andinability to pay rent due tohousemates being unable topay their share caused 21 per-cent of farmworkers ques-tioned for the survey to reportthat they had problems withtheir housing.

Financial constraintscaused 23 percent of respon-dents with children and 14percent without children toreport spending less on foodand/or health care to pay forhousing.

On the transportation side,the mean transportation costswere $40 per week. Almosthalf, 47 percent, reportedowning their own car, and 39percent rode to work with oth-ers.

Conclusions drawn fromthe report included a need forthe addition of farmworkerhousing, labor camps, RVparks and increased farm-worker transportation options.

Survey

County Sheriff’s Officerevealed 119 pounds ofprocessed marijuana, 60growing marijuana plants and$3,600 in cash, according tolaw enforcement reports.

During the trial, Rexrode,his wife, Sara, and severalother character witnesses tes-tified that Rexrode was work-ing as a caregiver for a num-ber of medical marijuanapatients. The defense alsobrought in marijuana expert

Chris Conrad, who testifiedthat the weight of seized mar-ijuana was only 20 percent ofthat claimed by law enforce-ment.

“This was an extremelyimportant case for our office,”said District Attorney Mere-dith Lintott. “Commercialmarijuana growers who hidebehind the medical marijuanalaws are now advised they canbe convicted of a felony, evenin Mendocino County.”

Rexrode is scheduled forsentencing at 8:30 a.m. June25.

It truly is a program that ben-efits everyone involved in it.”

The program is open to anysenior 60 or older who has alimited income, loves childrenand can volunteer at least 20hours each week. Andalthough 20 hours per week isthe minimum, Bostwick saysmany of the 21 participatingseniors in Mendocino Countyfind themselves giving evenmore.

“Many of them thrive on it,but we encourage them not toover-do it,” Bostwickexplained. “It gives themmotivation. They’re doingsomething that’s personallysatisfying, and because theyenjoy what they’re doing it’shonestly a win-win situation.”

It’s a win-win for the teach-ers, too. Kindergarten teacherKris Schamber benefits fromthe assistance of two fostergrandparents inside her class-room at Calpella ElementarySchool -- including 90-year-old Sara Long and formerMendocino County SheriffJim Tuso. Schamber said bothLong and Tuso provide theextra attention and care manyof her students thrive on, andthe line of students waiting forhugs from them each morningis evidence of that.

For the children, the mostrewarding part is that theygain a lot of self-confidenceand self-esteem,” saidBostwick. “Based on theannual evaluations we getfrom the teachers, we see thata lot.”

The benefits of the pro-gram aren’t limited to theboundaries of the classroom.As part of the program, theseniors receive pre-serviceorientation, monthly training,an annual physical examina-tion, a small, tax-free stipend,meals and transportationreimbursements on top of allthe in-class fun.

“The stipend is really anenabler for some seniors,”Bostwick said. “Gas andtransportation can be expen-sive, but the reimbursementshelp.”

Foster Grandparents pro-grams are available through-out the nation, and providementoring to more than145,000 students each year.With national enrollmentnumbers increasing through-out the nation, The FosterGrandparents program inUkiah, Sonoma and Del Nortecounties is keeping pace.Bostwick said participation inMendocino County remainssteady at 21 seniors withanother five in SonomaCounty, while in Del NorteCounty the numbers keepclimbing to record propor-tions.

“In Del Norte County wehave 40 volunteers. It’s justtaken off like wildfire there,”an enthusiastic Bostwick said.

As local enrollment contin-ues to increase, Bostwick saysshe hopes for the trend to con-tinue and offer teachers themuch-needed support theydeserve.

“My goal for this programis always to have it expand,”she said. “There are alwayschildren who can use the extraattention in school. Plus, wehave some incredible teach-ers, but they’re wearing somany hats and there’s only somany hours in the day. This isa way to help that.”

The Foster Grandparentsoffice is located at 776 S.State St. in the Plaza Del Sol.For more information aboutthe Foster Grandparents pro-gram nationally, visit its Website at www.seniorcorps.orgor phone 1-800-424-8867.

would be required to be cur-rent residents or propertyowners within the HoplandFire Protection District.

“This is strictly a commu-nity group which strives tohave broad representation,”he said. “It does not have anylegal authority.”

Hoss Maloney, anotherHopland local has beeninvolved in the push for thegroup, said that once thegroup is up and running, theorganization will be instru-mental in exposing the pub-lic’s feelings about new devel-opment.

“It gives Hopland a voice,”he said. “Right now there’s noreal voice for the community.When somebody wants to dosomething in Hopland theonly people who see it rightnow are the fire department.They can only look at it froma public safety standpoint.The community has no way totalk about it and say ‘yea’ or‘nay’ if they want the businessto come in. I think that’s thebiggest plus about it. We haveno major center for communi-cation with people in thearea.”

Maloney said the groupwill take some time to puttogether and wouldn’t be anovernight process.

“Pretty much I see it asbeing a year of putting togeth-er the bylaws and seeing what

this thing is all about,” hesaid. “That’s part of the learn-ing curve. We have to estab-lish the bylaws. It will have tofollow the Brown Act.

Ted Elliot, a six-year veter-an of the Geyserville PlanningCommittee, said the 26-year-old organization has been anoverwhelming success inamplifying the voices of thoseimpacted by nearby planningchanges.

“It’s been great,” he said.“We’re basically within theGeyserville School Districtarea -- that’s what we’re kindof in charge of. We try tomake sure that everyone’sperspective is looked at. It is anon-binding arrangement,however they always oralmost always have gone withour assessment. We have along history of working wellwith the county. Primarily wedo everyone a favor. If it does-n’t make sense for the com-munity it won’t make muchsense for the guy building it.”

The next meeting on thesubject has been scheduled for2 p.m. June 8 at the HoplandGuild Hall.
