Appropriations Committee onFriday approved $60.4 mil-lion in funding for salmonfishermen, tribes and busi-nesses in California andOregon impacted by lastyear’s fishery failure on theKlamath River.

The funding, which is partof the federal emergency sup-plemental package and is alsocontained in legislationpassed by the House ofRepresentatives Friday, muststill pass the full Senate andbe signed by PresidentGeorge W. Bush.

The companion bills wereintroduced in the first twodays of the new legislativesession, which began inJanuary, by California Sen.Barbara Boxer and NorthCoast Rep. Mike Thompson.

Thompson has estimatedthat the commercial fishingseason was cut by more than90 percent in 2006, costingfishing families and associat-ed fishing businesses morethan $60 million.

Gov. ArnoldSchwarzenegger said hisadministration will continueto work with federal represen-tatives and the executivebranch for the ultimateapproval of the funding.

“The restricted salmonfishing season along the WestCoast has created a substan-tial economic hardship to ourcommunities along the coast,”Schwarzenegger said.

“I am pleased that ourefforts, including those bySenators Feinstein and Boxer,Congressman MikeThompson and the entire del-egations from California andOregon, have resulted in acritical step toward finalapproval of $60.4 million inlong overdue relief for thesalmon fishermen and thebusinesses that depend on aplentiful fishing season,”Schwarzenegger said.

In July, the federal govern-ment declared a commercialfishery failure along the WestCoast. That declaration madefishermen and businesses eli-gible for Small BusinessAdministration EconomicInjury Disaster Loans, how-ever, many in the industrywere wary about borrowing

BruntonVineyards of San Francisco the buyerBy BEN BROWN The Daily Journal

Jeriko Estates OwnerDaniel Fetzer said Monday hehad reached a tentative agree-ment to sell Jeriko to SanFrancisco based BruntonVineyards.

Brunton Vineyards hassigned a letter of intent to pur-chase Jeriko Vineyards nearHopland for an estimated$16.5 million.

“Jeriko Vineyards is wellknown for its organic winesand this acquisition allows usto compete more effectivelyas a well rounded producer ofdifferent types of wine,” saidBrunton Vineyards PresidentBrian McGonigle.

Brunton said Jeriko is oneof a several wineries andvineyards it is intent on pur-chasing. Earlier this month,Brunton signed a letter ofintent to buy the 150-acreBellisimo Vineyard in NapaCounty for $16 million.

Jeriko is one of MendocinoCounty’s premier organicvineyards that sits on 160acres of land just north ofHopland on Highway 101.Jeriko is known for its pro-duction of Pinot Noir,Chardonnay, Syrah, Merlot,Sauvignon Blanc andSangiovese grapes.

Fetzer said he wasapproached by BruntonVineyards about the sale. Hesaid the organic aspect of thewinery has taken off in thelast few years and thatBrunton saw an opportunitythere.

“Brunton has the capacityto take Jeriko where itdeserves to go,” Fetzer said.

Jeriko currently produces25,000 cases of wine per year,more than half of which,about 13,000 cases, are soldthe Jeriko label. BruntonVineyards has said they planto increase production atJeriko from it’s current25,000 case per year produc-tion to 100,000 cases per year.

SACRAMENTO - Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger’sadministration is expected toannounce today pay raises upto 27 percent for more than 50top officials, saying the statemust boost salaries to remaincompetitive against local gov-ernments that pay more.

The new salaries takingeffect April 1 won’t cost tax-payers more, at least initially,

but they will force statedepartments to make cuts orotherwise absorb the raiseswithin existing personnel bud-gets. The hefty raises - 10agency heads, for example,would see their annual salariesgrow to $175,000, a 23 per-cent increase - come asSchwarzenegger is preachingthe need for fiscal restraint toend chronic budget shortfalls.

“Because these raises arepurely discretionary,” saidRoger Niello of Sacramento,the ranking Republican on the

Assembly budget committee,“it does make it difficult froma public perception stand-point.”

At the same time, Nielloand others said, Californianeeds to pay competitively toattract skilled managers to runlarge, complex bureaucracies.

“It’s important for the folksrunning these agencies to becompensated fairly, and rightnow that’s not the case,” saidAaron McLear, a spokesmanfor the governor. He empha-sized that the raises are “bud-

get-neutral” and said theywould help “recruit and retainthe best and the brightest.”

To justify the raises, offi-cials compared salaries for topstate agency jobs with similarpositions in local government.For example, the CaliforniaHighway PatrolCommissioner oversees morethan 10,000 employees andcurrently makes $142,584; theSan Jose police chief, by con-trast, supervises 1,789 work-ers and earns $207,418,according to the survey. Ten

other county sheriffs and citypolice chiefs make more thanthe CHP head, and three ofthem earn at least $100,000more, the survey found.

In at least one case, thesalary survey appears to low-ball comparative wages.

In comparing health ser-vices directors, the surveyuses a maximum salary of$172,152 for Santa ClaraCounty. However, KimRoberts, who is the chiefexecutive officer of the Santa

Her enterprise is folding

By KATIE MINTZThe Daily Journal

Squares of tan cigar paper andpieces with metallic sheen, cuts fromthe inside of security envelopes andsparkling floral patterns -- someglossy and others textured -- arestacked in neat piles.

They come from as far away asTaiwan, Japan, Italy and the UnitedKingdom, and as near as the localStaples, and sit on Louise Yale’s din-ing room table in Redwood Valley.

Yale, a retired woman who volun-teers at the Grace Hudson Museumand Sun House, uses the varied paperproducts to create origami designs,and in recent years has put her craftto use making trophies for winners inthe annual ukiaHaiku Festival.

Yale said the idea came fromSherri Smith-Ferri, a member of theorganizing committee for the compe-tition and festival and director of themuseum, which also sponsors thefestival.

Like haiku, short poems tradition-ally about nature, origami is said tohave its origin in Japan -- origami isa Japanese word translated to mean

‘to fold paper’ -- and was so pickedby Smith-Ferri for the haiku reward.

However, Yale, who grew up inBerkeley at a time when manyJapanese-Americans were returningto the area from internment camps,said the true history of origami is acontroversial topic.

“As cultures evolved and devel-

oped, or realized that paper existed,people started playing with it. I thinkit evolved in every culture,” she said.

Today, there are origami associa-tions in countries around the world.The inspiration for this year’sukiaHaiku Festival trophies, whichwill be awarded to the first place

Military finds no criminal wrongdoingin Tillman’s death, but admits errors

WASHINGTON (AP) — High-ranking Army officers madecritical errors in reporting the friendly fire death of ArmyRanger Pat Tillman in Afghanistan, but there was no criminalwrongdoing in the shooting of the former NFL star by fellowsoldiers, the military concluded Monday.

Army and Defense Department investigators said that offi-cers looking into the incident passed along misleading and inac-curate information and delayed reporting their belief thatTillman was killed by fellow Rangers. The investigators recom-mended the Army take action against the officers.

Among those blamed were the three-star general in charge ofArmy special operations as well as Tillman’s regimental com-mander.

The investigation also recommended that the Army reviewits award of the Silver Star to Tillman, but the acting secretaryof the Army said the award would stand. Defense DepartmentActing Inspector General Thomas F. Gimble said some infor-mation provided to justify the citation was inaccurate.

The highest current ranking officer blamed in the incident isLt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of the Joint SpecialOperations Command. Investigators said he was “accountablefor the inaccurate and misleading assertions” contained in thepapers recommending that Tillman get the Silver Star.

Gonzales aide to invoke FifthAmendment at Senate hearing

WASHINGTON (AP) — Monica Goodling, a senior JusticeDepartment official involved in the firings of federal prosecu-tors, will refuse to answer questions at upcoming Senate hear-ings, citing Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimina-tion, her lawyer said Monday.

“The potential for legal jeopardy for Ms. Goodling fromeven her most truthful and accurate testimony under these cir-cumstances is very real,” said the lawyer, John Dowd.

“One need look no further than the recent circumstances andproceedings involving Lewis Libby,” he said, a reference to therecent conviction of Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chiefof staff in the CIA leak case.

The White House, meanwhile, continued to stand byAttorney General Alberto Gonzales despite new calls over theweekend for his resignation and documents that indicate he mayhave been more involved in the dismissals than he has previ-ously acknowledged.

Democrats have accused the Justice Department and theWhite House of purging the prosecutors for political reasons.The Bush administration maintains the firings were not improp-er because U.S. attorneys are political appointees.

Israelis, Palestinians will resume open-ended, face-to-face talks

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmertagreed Monday to resume open-ended, face-to-face talks withPalestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in a possible step towardrestarting substantive peace talks, a U.S. official said.

Olmert and Abbas will initially hold low-key “confidence-building” sessions, the official said. Israel has refused substan-tive talks since Abbas, a moderate leader whom Israel has calleda partner for peace, joined Hamas militants in a coalition gov-ernment this month.

The talks between the Palestinian and Israeli leaders will beopen to all issues, said the U.S. official, speaking on conditionof anonymity ahead of a planned address by Rice on Tuesday.

Israel, the United States and the European Union considerHamas a terrorist group.

Iran questioning seized British sailors asit apparently softens stance on standoff

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran said Monday it was questioning15 British sailors and marines to determine if their alleged entryinto Iranian waters was “intentional or unintentional” beforedeciding what to do with them — the first sign it could be seek-

ing a way out of the standoff.The two countries continued to disagree about where the mil-

itary personnel were seized Friday, with Britain insisting theywere in Iraqi waters after searching a civilian cargo vessel andthe Tehran regime saying it had proof they were in Iranian ter-ritory.

Britain’s Defense Ministry said they were seized in the Shattal-Arab, a waterway flowing into the Persian Gulf that marksthe border between Iran and Iraq. But the dividing line in thewaterway, known in Iran as the Arvand river, has long been dis-puted.

The Iranian emphasis Monday on the detainees’ intent was anoticeable pullback from the certainty expressed Saturday byIran’s military chief, Gen. Ali Reza Afshar. Afshar said then thatthe 15 confessed to “aggression into the Islamic Republic ofIran’s waters.”

Other Iranian officials suggested afterward that the Britonsmight be charged with a crime — presumably espionage or tres-passing — for knowingly entering Iran’s territorial waters.

European Union, Iranian negotiators try to find common ground

VIENNA, Austria (AP) — A top European envoy onMonday renewed an offer from six world powers to talk withTehran over its nuclear ambitions, and a senior Iranian negotia-tor agreed to stay in contact in an effort to find common ground.

European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana’s tele-phone conversation with Ali Larijani, Tehran’s top nuclearnegotiator, was the first exchange between the representativesof Iran and the international community since the U.N. SecurityCouncil toughened its anti-Iran sanctions because of the Islamicrepublic’s refusal to freeze uranium enrichment.

Solana spokeswoman Cristina Gallach emphasized it was nota negotiating session but more a message to the Iranian side thatthe international community was interested in “renewing ...talks and solving in a negotiated matter” differences separatingthe sides.

The conversation, which Gallach said lasted nearly an hour,came amid signs of impatience from Russia and China, Iran’straditional allies among the five permanent Security Councilmembers.

The presidents of the two countries, whose resistance totough penalties against Iran have forced the United States,France and Britain to accept watered down U.N. sanctions,jointly urged Tehran to fulfill council demands.

Official says accidental drug overdose killed Anna Nicole Smith

DANIA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Anna Nicole Smith acciden-tally overdosed on at least nine prescription drugs — includinga powerful sleep syrup she was known to swig right out of thebottle — after a miserable last few days in which she enduredstomach flu, a 105-degree fever, pungent sweating and a pus-filled infection on her buttocks from repeated injections.

In a detailed autopsy report released Monday, a medicalexaminer noted the former Playboy playmate refused to go to ahospital three days before her Feb. 8 death and chose to ride outher illness in a hotel suite littered with pill bottles, soda cans,SlimFast, nicotine gum and an open box of Tamiflu tablets.

Broward County Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper foundthat in the days leading up to her death, the 39-year-old Smithhad been taking large amounts of the seldom-prescribed seda-tive chloral hydrate, which also contributed to the 1962 over-dose death of Smith’s idol Marilyn Monroe.

Police found no apparent signs of foul play, and the medicalexaminer also ruled Smith’s death probably was not a suicidebecause people who take their own lives typically use muchmore lethal drugs than chloral hydrate.

Most angioplasties not needed

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — More than half a million people ayear with chest pain are getting an unnecessary or premature

procedure to unclog their arteries because drugs are just aseffective, suggests a landmark study that challenges one of themost common practices in heart care.

The stunning results found that angioplasty did not save livesor prevent heart attacks in non-emergency heart patients.

An even bigger surprise: Angioplasty gave only slight andtemporary relief from chest pain, the main reason it is done.

“By five years, there was really no significant difference” insymptoms, said Dr. William Boden of Buffalo General Hospitalin New York. “Few would have expected such results.”

He led the study and gave results Monday at a meeting of theAmerican College of Cardiology. They also were publishedonline by the New England Journal of Medicine and will be inthe April 12 issue.

Vitamin Ecures boil

DEAR DR. GOTT: Many years ago, I had a boil,and my doctor said to put compresses on “as hot as Icould stand “ to draw the core out. After several days ofthis, only to be in much pain without any results, I resort-ed to researching another remedy. I had heard vitamin Ewas good for skin care and decided to purchase a vitaminE capsule. I put it directly on the boil, then covered itwith a bandage. I repeated this procedure three times aday. Within 24 hours, the boil had decreased in size byone half. After three days, it was gone, and there was noscar or sign there ever was a boil. The vitamin E alsobrought me pain relief. I have had three boils since, onerecently, and have treated each of them this way. I’m dis-appointed in the fact that doctors aren’t more informed ofcures like this so they can pass the information on to theirpatients. Maybe there are others who would like to knowthere is an easy and inexpensive way to get rid of a boil.

DEAR READER: Many superficial skin infectionsdo not respond to topical vitamin E. Surgical drainageand/or antibiotics may be necessary. However, if thistherapy has worked for you, keep it up as needed.

To give you related information, I am sending you acopy of my Health Report “Vitamin E: Myths andFacts.” Other readers who would like a copy should senda long, self-addressed, stamped envelope and $2 toNewsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Besure to mention the title.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I read your column about havingwhat is called hot flashes. I have had a battle with whatyou are describing; however, mine were frequent butlasted only for a short time. I noticed mine occurringespecially when there was any amount of stress presentin my life, large or small. I had an episode one day whileshopping. Big sweat beads popped up, and I was literal-ly dripping. A very nice lady noticed and asked me if Iexperienced hot flashes often. Of course, I told her I did.She suggested I take over-the-counter garlic-and-parsleygel caps. The secret is, the product must have parsley, notplain garlic. Gelatin capsules are preferred. The capsulesshould be taken at night and do not cause burping orbelching. The results were obvious in two to three weeks.

I had stopped having hot flashes completely and for-got to buy the capsules recently. Well, one day I noticedI was feeling the old familiar heat. Of course, I quicklywent back on the capsule, and it worked.

DEAR READER: This could be a huge break-through if it works for other readers. I personally havehad no experience with the garlic-and-parsley mix, so I’llwait for reports from readers concerning its effective-ness. Stay tuned.

NEW ORLEANS -- Anexperimental drug is the first tosubstantially and safely improveshortness of breath and othersymptoms in people hospitalizedwith severe heart failure, an epi-demic that is growing as babyboomers age, doctors reportedSunday.

However, many were disap-pointed that the drug also did nothelp people live longer or stayout of the hospital.

“What we really need aretherapies that are going toimprove the outcome,” said Dr.Gregg Fonarow, an AmericanHeart Association spokesmanfrom the University ofCalifornia at Los Angeles.

He had no role in the study,which was led by Dr. MarvinKonstam of Tufts-New EnglandMedical Center and presented atan American College ofCardiology conference. Resultsalso were published online bythe Journal of the AmericanMedical Association and will bein its March 28 issue.

Heart failure occurs when theheart muscle weakens over timeand can no longer pump effec-tively. Fluid can back up into thelungs and leave people panickedand gasping for breath.

About 5 million Americans

have the condition. It kills morethan 300,000 and accounts for amillion hospitalizations eachyear.

Severely ill heart failurepatients need to shed buckets ofwater, but current treatmentseither do not cause this fastenough or lead to kidney dam-age or loss of essential bodysalts called electrolytes.

A drug that does this better is

drastically needed, said Dr.Mariell Jessup, head of the heartfailure center at the Universityof Pennsylvania, who was notinvolved in the study.

“What we’re doing now is notworking. These patients comeback over and over,” she said.

The new drug, tolvaptan, is afirst-of-its-kind medication thatblocks a hormone responsiblefor fluid retention.

It was tested on 4,133 severe-ly ill patients throughout Northand South America and Europe.They were randomly assigned toreceive either the new drug orfake medication in addition toother standard heart failure treat-ments like diuretics within 48hours of hospitalization.

Ten months later, the drugmade no difference in the rate ofdeath or rehospitalization -- abig disappointment. But it sig-nificantly improved breathingand reduced swelling and weightbecause it promoted so muchfluid loss.

Side effects mostly involvednuisances like dry mouth andthirst, and no extra risk of deathor kidney problems was seen --the main things doctors wereworried about.

“This is the first drug that’sever been documented to reducesymptoms and be safe,”Konstam said. “As early as oneday, taking just one pill, therewas an improvement in short-ness of breath, which is the No.1 symptom patients complainabout that drives them to thehospital.”

Tolvaptan’s maker, OtsukaPharmaceutical Co. of Japan,paid for the study and Konstamis one of its consultants. The

Experimental heart failure drug helpssymptoms but not survival, study finds

I was “row monitor” in sec-ond grade; sitting in the lastseat, making sure all studentsin row #4 behaved. If not,their name was recorded inmy official “monitor’s note-book,” which at day’s end,was delivered to the teacher.Right now, during daily quiettime, everyone was behavingappropriately. No one messedwith the law when I was onduty.

If all was calm, and we hadno pending assignments, wewere given permission tocolor. Each of us had a color-ing book in our desk for justsuch occasion. Eagerly, Ipulled my precious book frominside my desk and beganflipping through the pages,looking for just the right pic-ture. I always colored the“way cool” pictures first, usu-ally images with robots or rayguns. Alas, they were all com-pleted. Slightly disappointed,but undaunted, I dropped tothe next level, the boring pic-tures - the ones with horses orgirls in them.

“Make a mental note,” Itold myself, “get a new color-ing book -- no girl pictures.”But since that was all thatremained, I began flippingpages. Nothing. The entirecoloring book was full.

Sadly, I slid my book intoits home, folded my hands onmy desk, looked up at theclock, sighed, and waited; Ihad absolutely nothing to do.

I believe that was the lasttime I remember that happen-ing.

Striving forImperfection

NEW ORLEANS -- A new crop ofexperimental heart stents have passedsome key safety and effectiveness testsand may one day offer alternatives to thecontroversial stents currently used tokeep unclogged arteries open, doctorsreported Saturday.

One is designed to dissolve after doingits job, leaving nothing behind to triggerblood clots -- a worry with the most pop-ular stents sold now. Another attractsspecial cells to help the artery heal. Athird is super-thin and uses a novel drugto keep scar tissue from reblocking thevessel.

All are seeking a slice of the $6 billionmarket for these tiny mesh scaffolds,

which are placed in arteries duringangioplasty, an artery-clearing procedurethat more than a million Americans haveeach year.

Its popularity has faded with news thatthe drug-coated stents used in most ofthese procedures can raise the risk ofblood clots many months later.

Two brands are sold in the UnitedStates: Taxus, by Boston ScientificCorp., and Cypher, by Johnson &Johnson’s Cordis Corp.

At an American College of Cardiologymeeting on Saturday, Dr. Gregg Stone ofColumbia University said that AbbottLaboratories Inc.’s Xience stent proved“at least as safe and effective” and, bysome measures, better than Taxus in acomparison study of 1,000 patients.

Stone consults for both companies, andAbbott paid for the test.

“He doesn’t have adequate data to tellus if it’s safer,” and no one knowswhether the federal Food and DrugAdministration will require that proofbecause of worries about existing stents,said Dr. Spencer King, an Atlanta heartspecialist and past president of the cardi-ology group.

Xience’s very thin metal base is coatedwith a drug called everolimus to discour-age scar tissue. It is already sold over-seas; the new study is aimed at gettingapproval in the U.S. and Japan.

Doctors also gave results of the firsthuman study in the world of a temporarystent, Absorb, also made by Abbott. It is

The Ukiah Daily Journal

VIEWPOINTS

From the moment state legislators and Gov. ArnoldSchwarzenegger began talking about moving up nextyear's California primary to Feb. 5, it's been clear link-age was involved. It wasn't enough for Sacramento'spresent rulers just to switch the primary and giveCalifornia a significant place in presidential politicsfor the first time in 36 years.

Nope, leaders of the Legislature suddenly saw away to extend their tenure in high office beyond whattoday's rules allow. They would make no brazenattempt to add years to the total of 14 they're nowallowed as lawmakers. Rather, they would ask votersto approve a plan letting legislators give up two ofthose years in exchange for staying 12 years in onehouse, rather than the six now allowed in the Assemblyand eight in the state Senate.

Key to all this, of course, is that if voters passedsuch a proposition Democrats Fabian Nunez of EastLos Angeles and Don Perata of Oakland could stay intheir leadership roles another six and four years,respectively. Unspoken is the reality that having tastedsignificant power, neither Nunez nor Perata wants tomove to the other house and become just an ordinarymember.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger quickly signaled thathe would go along with this plan, easing the idea's wayonto the ballot, but only if the Legislature at the sametime agrees to let voters decide whether to take awaymuch of its power to draw new congressional and leg-islative district lines every 10 years. The most commonnotions of redistricting reform involve some kind ofcitizen commission, with at least a token effort at non-partisanship.

This, however, makes the California congressionaldelegation, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, veryuneasy. They fear that districts drawn to reflect citylimits or other logical boundaries might change today'sreality in which virtually no seats ever change fromone party to the other. At the very least, they know thatnew, less partisan boundaries would likely producemore competitive races like those that were commonin the 1990s, when a court-appointed master drew upmany boundaries after a 1991 stalemate betweenDemocratic legislators and then-Gov. Pete Wilson, aRepublican.

And then Schwarzenegger tossed in another wildcard, suggesting the Feb. 5 ballot also include a ban onpolitical fund-raising during the time the state budgetis up for negotiation.

Schwarzenegger plumped for this idea during the2003 recall campaign in which he was elected, butseemingly forgot about it so long as it was importantfor him to raise money to run for a second term. Heactually set new records for fund-raising during thebudget period. Now that it no longer can affect him,he's suddenly revived the idea.

Schwarzenegger's timing on this may be suspect,but he's right when he says fund-raising during budgetseason contributes to a corrupt climate.

Here, then, are three pretty decent ideas: 1) Don'tgive lawmakers more time in office, but let them con-centrate the time they have in one place where theymight actually learn some of the issues before beingtermed out. This is an idea whose time should havecome a long time ago, and the fact that two often-venalpoliticians want to use it for personal benefit stillleaves it a good plan. 2) Take at least some redistrict-ing responsibility away from politicians who wouldrather choose their voters than allow voters an honestchoice about them. 3) Ban fund-raising during themost important time period on the legislative calendar.

Every one of these changes deserves serious con-sideration. But Schwarzenegger, always known for hisfar-reaching agendas, wants them all on the ballot atonce, implying that if any one is left off, he might fightthe others as incomplete, insufficient reform.

"If we put these three together, all of a sudden, itlooks like we can clean house and we can create polit-ical reform that is real," he told a reporter. "But if it'sjust term limits, it smells and it looks self-serving."

The problem with an all-or-nothing approach likethis is that you often end up with nothing.

Getting legislators to limit themselves to as few as12 years instead of today's 14 might actually strength-en term limits. Getting those same legislators at leastpart-way out of redistricting might allow for at least afew interesting runoff races each year. And takingcampaign dollars out of the budget season might notsolve all corruption problems in California govern-ment, but it would surely help.

If only one of these measures appeared on the Feb.5 ballot along with the presidential choices, it woulddeserve support.

Surely, most realists who know that politics usual-ly involves compromise would be delighted to see vot-ers get a crack at two of these measures. But demand-ing three, and linking them all, might just result in nochanges for the better at all. And what a wasted oppor-tunity that would be.

Thank youTo the Editor:Dear Friends, Colleagues & Community:As time continues to pass so swiftly I

want to take the time to let you know howdeeply grateful I am to all of you for theencouragement and support you haveshown and given to me during the yearsthat I have called the Greater Ukiah Valleymy home. Last year I was given the“Lifetime Achievement” award, and I holdthis honor close to my heart with gratitudeand love. When I first moved to Ukiah(1982) from Sonoma County I becameinvolved with the Ukiah Players, the UkiahCoop, the Saturday Afternoon Club, theUkiah Symphony, the Mendocino CollegeBig Band and of course the Ukiah CivicLight Opera. I am most fortunate to havemet so many fine community spirited peo-ple. Getting into plays, playing the PalaceHotel. watching many young talented peo-ple venture out into the world seeking theirplace, their dreams are but a small portionof the great memories I have of “Home.” Ithought I came here to retire and now I’mhitting the road again singing my songs andsharing stories about where I live and thepeople in my community. The audiencesare very curious about Ukiah. Last year,Just after receiving the Award at theConcerts m the Park, I performed at a spe-cial function in Beverly Hills. people wereasking me “where are you from?”... So ... Iproudly went on ... and on ... about ourwonderful Northern California community.I took some Mendocino County wines andshared it with some very special people, Iam about to get out on the road again andas always I take you with me. I want to saythank you to all the wonderful people whomake our beautiful world a better place tolive and grow and make friends.

Where the money’s being spent

To the Editor: The headline in the March 24 edition of

the Ukiah Daily Journal reads, “Physicianstry to save Surgery Center.” In the story welearn that the reason for the Center’s clos-ing is “really bad reimbursements.”Reading further, we learn that Californiahas the lowest reimbursement of all 50states and that Mendocino and Sonomacounties have the lowest reimbursementwithin the state. Reimbursements from thefederal government, that is.

In a letter appearing in the March 23edition, the writer asks, “What’s holding upthe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers?” Shelists her concerns: the docks have not beenreinstalled and there is “almost zero activi-ty going on about and around the picnicgrounds and surrounding public areaspreparing it for public use.”

Indeed, why is so little being done local-

ly with federal money? Because the federal money that could be

used for reimbursements to keep theSurgery Center in business and to payemployees to maintain Lake Mendocino isinstead going to pay for the misbegottenwar in Iraq.

Those examples are just two of manythousands that are happening in communi-ties such as ours.

So, when we need a surgical procedure,want to launch a boat, or picnic at LakeMendocino, we’ll just have to think aboutwhat Bush and Cheney’s war is costing.

Ideas forimprovement

Thomas D. Elias is a syndicated columnist.

In our opinion

A process that normally attracts only pol-icy wonks and economic interests, appearsto have brought out a significant number oflocal residents interested in seeing that theirvision of the future of the Ukiah Valley isnot - depending on your point of view -marred or barred.

The process we’re discussing is the UkiahValley Area Plan, which will serve to mapout the next 20 years or so of development inthe Ukiah Valley, a plan which county andcity residents alike have a stake in.

What’s getting attention right now is theidea that something big will happen at theold Masonite property. But there appears tobe little agreement on what that should be.

A property developer has bought the oldfactory site in hopes of building a 700,000-square-foot regional retail center completewith at least two major big box anchors.

The sticking point is that the countyBoard of Supervisors must rezone the landin order for the project to proceed and thathas to be done as part of the UVAP process.

We know there are lots of people out therewho would love to see a big new mall at thenorth end of town. We are told that morethan $100 million a year in retail sales trav-els to Santa Rosa each year from local andarea residents. We’d like to see that spendinghere.

There are also lots of people who want toput an end to any more large retail develop-ment in the area. We’re told that rezoningthat last substantial piece of industrial landin our valley will put a final end to any hopeof attracting clean industry with high paying

jobs to our area.Mixed into the problem from both ends is

a debate over the real need for more housing- are we stagnating without it, or will we justattract more population and no economicbenefit with more of it?

Whatever direction we take, we believethat this valley will begin to crumble eco-nomically without growth soon. If no one ismoving in, housing prices remain high andvisa versa. We have waited years upon yearsfor that “clean industry” to come to town.We suspect it isn’t coming. Why? There’s noworker housing. There’s limited transporta-tion. And there’s a low-skill worker pool.

On the other hand, a load of new retailsimply adds more low wage jobs to oureconomy, and more people without workerbenefits and nowhere affordable to live.

If the UVAP becomes just a referendumabout more big box retail in the valley, it willbe an opportunity lost.

We believe a middle ground is theresomewhere with more retail, even big boxretail, plus affordable and innovative hous-ing, not just a bunch of small single familyhomes or unattractive apartment complexes.Add to that restaurant and hospitality busi-nesses and even space for microenterprisestart-ups and there may be a shape to some-thing interesting.

Most of all, we have to be clear to devel-opers what we will demand - not just acceptvague promises of what’s possible “downthe road” - but also make sure that no one ismoving forward with the idea that anythingis either a “done deal” or “dead on arrival.”

No done deals on UVAP

company plans to ask the fed-eral Food and DrugAdministration to approve thedrug sometime this year.

If it gets approved, “wewill have another option forpatients that will relieve theprimary symptom bringingthem to the hospital,” said Dr.Clyde Yancy of BaylorUniversity Medical Center inDallas.

He led a study also reportedon Sunday of the only drugcurrently on the market totreat shortness of breath inhospitalized patients with

severe heart disease. Thatdrug -- Natrecor -- looked tobe a blockbuster, but manydoctors avoid it because ofworries that it might raise therisk of death.

The drug’s packaging waschanged to include moreinformation about the risk ofdeath in 2005.

The new study testedwhether regular infusions ofthe drug on an outpatient basiscould prevent death and hos-pitalizations in about 900severely ill heart failurepatients.

It did not. However, noextra risk of death or kidneyproblems were seen with thedrug.

“I would say those con-cerns can be lessened,” saidYancy, who consults for thedrug’s maker, Scios Inc., adivision of Johnson &Johnson. The company plansto start a very large study ofNatrecor later this year. Thedrug’s label says there is notenough information yet toknow if the drug brings anincreased risk of death.

designed to hold arteriesopen for about six monthsand then completely dis-solve over the next twoyears or so.

No deaths, blood clots orrepeat artery-opening proce-dures occurred among thefirst 30 patients to get it,and only one mild heartattack occurred in the firstsix months of use, saidstudy leader Dr. PatrickSerruys of ErasmusUniversity Medical Centerin Rotterdam, theNetherlands.

Much more study isneeded, but doctors say itwould be a welcome alter-native to current stents,which are permanent, for-eign metal objects that can

interfere with imaging testsincreasingly used in heartcare.

“The concept is extreme-ly enticing,” said Dr.Deepak Bhatt, a ClevelandClinic cardiologist who hadno role in the study.

On Sunday, Dr. MarcelBeijk of the University ofAmsterdam will report whathe termed “early encourag-ing early results” in 152patients who received astent called Genous, whichis coated with a substancedesigned to attract stemcell-like cells from thebloodstream to help theartery heal.

In May, results are dueon Cordis’ experimentalstent, CoStar. Its anti-clot-ting drug is contained intiny wells designed to dis-solve over time so that afterabout six months, thedevice turns into a plain

metal stent.Medtronic Inc. also is

seeking FDA approval forits Endeavor stent, which itclaims is less likely tocause artery inflammationproblems.

“Technologies neverstand still -- they’re con-stantly improving,” said Dr.Elizabeth Nabel, director ofthe National Heart, Lungand Blood Institute.

Yet key questions remainabout the safety of all ofthese devices. An expertpanel led by Harvard cardi-ologist Dr. EugeneBraunwald is finalizing areport on what the federalagency’s role should be inresolving the safety issues,Nabel said.

The group will recom-mend whether a new clini-cal trial, a registry to trackpatients or some other solu-tion is needed, Nabel said.

PHOENIX (AP) —Even though ChadGaudin will be a relieverfor Oakland this season,the Athletics wanted tosee how he would fare asa starter.

Gaudin allowed one hitand struck out four inthree scoreless inningsMonday and the OaklandAthletics beat theColorado Rockies 6-3.

While Gaudin willmostly pitch in the sev-enth and eighth innings,the A’s now know hecould make a rare start ifneeded.

“We’re very pleasedwith his versatility,” man-ager Bob Geren said. “Asthe season progressed lastyear, Chad took on morelate-game responsibility.”

Mike Piazza hit anopposite-field double andEric Chavez homered toright to give Oakland a 3-0 lead in the first. NickSwisher added his fifthhomer of the spring andMilton Bradley also wentdeep.

By using all relieversin the game, the A’sstretched out those pitch-ers in case they decide tokeep lefty Jay Marshallon the roster instead of atrue long man. Marshallallowed one run in twoinnings against theRockies.

The Athletics optionedright-handed pitcherJason Windsor to Triple-A Sacramento onMonday, a day after asubpar outing against theSeattle Mariners.

That narrows the com-petition for the fifthstarter to three lefties —Joe Kennedy, BradHalsey and Lenny DiNardo.

Kennedy has struggled to a 20.48ERA this spring in four starts, Halsey(0-3, 7.94 ERA) has an option leftand start the season in the minors.DiNardo has pitched best of the three(3.00 ERA in 12 innings) but has notmade a start this spring.

Justin Duchscherer pitched a per-fect eighth inning in his second out-ing of the spring after being sidelinedwith right triceps tendinitis.

“I knew I needed four or fiveappearances to get my mechanicsdown,” Duchscherer said. “It feels

good to know I’ll be ready openingday.”

Rockies starter Jason Hirsh wasroughed up for six runs on six hits insix innings. He walked one and did-n’t strike out a batter.

A’s outfielder Bobby Kielty,recovering from arthroscopic surgeryon his left knee March 2, participatedin outfield and baserunning drillsbefore the game and went 0-for-2 asthe designated hitter in the game.

Kielty is scheduled to play DHagain Tuesday and play in the out-field Wednesday.

Notes: Oakland RHP Joe Blantonpitched six innings against the CubsTriple-A Iowa lineup. Blantonallowed seven hits and two runs, onlyone earned, walking nobody whilestriking out five. Blanton is set tostart Saturday against the Giants inSan Francisco. ... Oakland has hit 11home runs in its past six games, afterhitting just 10 in their first 20 con-tests. ... Rockies C Yorvit Torrealbaleft the game with a sprained rightankle after stepping awkwardly onfirst base running out a grounder.

PHOENIX — On the day LasVegas police said they will seek felonyand misdemeanor charges againstTennessee’s Adam “Pacman” Jones,NFL commissioner Roger Goodellsaid a stronger player conduct policywill not be completed at these league

meetings.By next month, however, Goodell

expects to have in place the stricterplan and hopes to make some discipli-nary decisions before the April 28-29draft.

“It’s a complicated issue and thereare no simple answers,” Goodell saidMonday, adding he planned to meet

with coaches and owners in a day or soto discuss player conduct. “We want tofind out what is working well with theclubs and what is not working, get aset of best practices so they can imple-ment them on a local basis.”

“We’re expecting discipline will bestepped up,” he added.

NFL Players Association executive

director Gene Upshaw has expressedhis support of a tougher disciplinarypolicy.

Goodell listed educational pro-grams as a key step, and wants playersto become more familiar with locallaws. In the past year, such players as

If Kevin Durant and GregOden play only one season ofcollege basketball, it willhave been as All-Americans.

The freshmen were votedto The Associated Press’ All-America team Monday, thefirst members of their class sohonored since 1989.

The 6-foot-9 Durant, wholed Texas to the Big 12 titlegame, was the only unani-mous choice of the 72-mem-ber national media panel thatselects the weekly Top 25.

Oden, the 7-footer whohelped Ohio State to its firstNo. 1 ranking in 45 years, wasjoined on the team by seniorsAlando Tucker of Wisconsinand Acie Law IV of TexasA&M and junior ArronAfflalo of UCLA. The votingwas conducted before theNCAA tournament.

Since freshmen becameeligible to play in 1972, theonly ones selected to the firstteam had been WaymanTisdale of Oklahoma in 1983and Chris Jackson of LSU in1989.

Durant, the first Texas All-American since T.J. Ford in2003, averaged 25.6 pointsand 11.3 rebounds, but it washis all-around game and pen-chant for big shots in theclutch that had people rankinghim as one of the best fresh-men ever.

“There’s no questionKevin deserves every individ-ual accolade that he willreceive,” Texas coach RickBarnes said, “but the onething I respect most aboutKevin is that he is the ultimateteam player. He really doesn’tcare about the individualnumbers and awards. All hecares about is the success ofhis team. When you’re arounda guy like that, it makescoaching him a joy.”

Durant, the Big 12 playerof the year, backed up hiscoach’s sentiments.

“I am not very big on indi-vidual honors, but I am veryhumbled to be included on theAssociated Press All-Americateam,” he said. “When youlook at the other four guyswho are on the team, I amhonored to be mentioned withthem. I have so much respectfor how each one of them hasled their respective teams andhandled themselves, both onand off the court. I look up toeach one of them.”

Oden, the first Ohio StateAll-American since JimJackson in 1992, missed thefirst seven games as he recov-ered from offseason surgeryon his right wrist. As he reha-bilitated from the injury helearned to shoot free throwsleft-handed and didn’t miss abeat when he returned to the

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. —Matt Cain went six innings,catcher Bengie Molinaworked nine and closerArmando Benitez got animpressive four-out save.

For the San FranciscoGiants, Monday’s 3-2 victoryover the Chicago White Soxwas about as close to a realgame as they’ve played allspring.

They ended a six-gameskid, too — the club’s longestin exhibition play since losingseven straight in March 2001.

Benitez, booed almostevery time he pitched duringan injury-shortened 2006 sea-son, pumped his fist in cele-bration and received a hugand a handshake from Molinaafter Tadahito Iguchi struckout on a slider to end it.Iguchi already had homered,tripled and singled in thegame.

Benitez, who earned hisfirst save, also got GustavoMolina to fly out to left withthe bases loaded in the eighth.

“It’s good. People can see Ican save the game,” Benitezsaid afterward, an ice bag oneach knee and his right elbow.“You get excited. I like tocome into that situation. Youhave to make a quality pitch.If you make a mistake it cancost you the game.”

Bengie Molina, the Giants’new catcher, has been pleasedwith Benitez’s performancethis spring.

“He’s ready to go. He’sready to pitch. He’s ready toshow everybody that he’sready,” he said. “He’s a truecloser. He’s not a joke. ... Theguy can pitch, man.”

The White Sox, mean-while, are not optimisticabout the health of backupcatcher Toby Hall, who hurthis right shoulder. He wasinjured in the ninth inning ofChicago’s 10-2 loss to theTexas Rangers on Sunday andis expected to miss significanttime with what is thought tobe a torn labrum.

Hall, who was playing firstbase and got hurt when hedove for a groundball, under-went an MRI exam Mondayand the White Sox wereworking to schedule anappointment for him withAngels orthopedist Dr. LewisYocum for further testing.

General manager KennyWilliams said the club wouldfill the position internally,with either Gustavo Molina orWiki Gonzalez.

“We’ve got to be patient,”said manager Ozzie Guillen,who will poll his pitchingstaff about the comfort levelwith both. “We can’t makeKenny go out and make dealsif we don’t need it.”

Cain, slated as SanFrancisco’s No. 2 starterbehind Barry Zito, had strongperformances in his final twoCactus League starts andkeeps getting better each out-ing. He was done with thefirst inning on four pitches.

Cain, coming off a greatrookie season, allowed onerun and four hits, struck outfour and walked two in sixinnings.

“The biggest thing is justtrying to throw a lot of strikesand get guys out early,” hesaid. “My goal this offseasonwas not to walk a lot of guys.”

Barry Bonds went 0-for-3with two more strikeouts, giv-ing him four Ks in his last twogames.

Good Knight, Rutgers! C. VivianStringer and her scrappy ScarletKnights are headed to the FinalFour.

Kia Vaughn had 17 points and10 rebounds while dominatingthe paint to power Rutgers to a64-45 victory over Arizona Stateon Monday night in theGreensboro Regional final,clinching the Scarlet Knights’second trip to the national semifi-nals.

Matee Ajavon had 20 points,Essence Carson added 11 andEpiphanny Prince had 10 pointsand 10 rebounds for the ScarletKnights (26-8), who led by 24and held a 48-26 reboundingadvantage in winning their sev-enth straight.

Now it’s on to Cleveland,where they will face LSU fromthe Fresno Regional on Sundayin the Final Four.

The fourth-seeded ScarletKnights (26-8) almost saw theirseason end Saturday when top-seeded Duke had a chance to winit in the final second. But ACCplayer of the year LindseyHarding missed two free throws

with 0.1 second left and Rutgersescaped with a stunning 53-52upset.

The youthful Knights — whohave five freshmen and noseniors on the roster — had notrouble dodging a letdown, thor-oughly dominating third-seededArizona State and pulling anoth-er upset to reach the Final Fourfor the second time and first since2000.

The players hammed it up atmidcourt, dancing as theydonned championship caps andT-shirts while thanking the sever-al hundred fans who made thetrip to Tobacco Road.

Stringer, the first coach to leadthree programs to the Final Four,is headed to college basketball’sbiggest stage for the fourth time.

Frenso RegionalLSU 73, Connecticut 50FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — The

talk coming into the NCAA tour-nament was about the coach LSUwas missing. It’s the center whois still dominating the middle thatlifted the Lady Tigers to theirfourth straight Final Four.

Sylvia Fowles overpoweredConnecticut with 23 points, 15

rebounds and an intimidatingdefensive performance that ledthird-seeded LSU over the top-seeded Huskies.

A team in turmoil heading intothe tournament after head coachPokey Chatman abruptlyresigned March 7 amid allega-tions of improper conduct with aformer player, LSU (30-7) shookoff any distractions and won fourstraight games under actingcoach Bob Starkey.

The longtime assistant forboth the men’s and women’s pro-grams at LSU has an undefeatedrecord as a head coach and looksto end his career that way withtwo more wins next week inCleveland. Starkey said he has noaspirations to become the full-time coach.

Connecticut (32-4) will be leftwatching the Final Four for thethird straight year after making itthat far the previous five seasons.This matches UConn’s longestFinal Four drought since makingits first in 1991.

It was the Huskies’ most lop-sided tournament loss since los-ing 75-47 to Vanderbilt in thesecond round in 1992.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Cubs sluggers Derek Leeand Aramis Ramirez each had three hits and twoRBIs, leading Chicago to an 8-7 victory over the LosAngeles Angels on Monday.

Angels left-hander Joe Saunders allowed eighthits and seven runs, six earned, in six innings. WithBartolo Colon and Jered Weaver opening the seasonon the disabled list, Saunders will fill a vacant spotin Los Angeles’ rotation.

“There were a few bleeders and a few bad pitch-es,” Saunders said. It was his first ineffective outingof the spring. “He threw a lot better than hislinescore,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.“Some of the hits were seeing-eye hits and I thinkthere were four broken-bat hits.”

Lee had two doubles and a single, and Ramirezhad two singles and a double. Cliff Floyd, HenryBlanco and Ryan Theriot had two hits each for theCubs. While the Cubs were getting to Saunders, theAngels were roughing up Jason Marquis, who gaveup seven hits and four runs in 4 1-3 innings.Vladimir Guerrero hit a solo homer and GarretAnderson added a two-run shot off Marquis, a free-agent acquisition for Chicago.

Guerrero, Gary Matthews Jr. and SheaHillenbrand each had two hits for the Angels.

“I thought Marquis was OK,” Cubs manager LouPiniella said. “I thought he was throwing the ballOK. What I see with Marquis at times, he starts get-ting hit a little bit and he wants to throw the ballharder instead of softening up the game.”

Bob Howry and Scott Eyre closed out the gamewith hitless innings for the Cubs.

Titans cornerback Jones, with10 separate encounters withthe police, and DT TankJohnson of Chicago, sen-tenced last week to fourmonths in jail on weaponscharges, have drawn headlinesfor their misconduct. So didnine Cincinnati Bengals whogot in trouble off the field.

On Monday, Las Vegaspolice said they will seekcharges against Jones and twoothers in a February shootingat a strip club. The league saidit had no comment on thoselatest developments.

But the Titans released astatement:

“The club is deeply dis-turbed that the alleged con-duct of one of its players hasresulted in felony charges inone state and accusations offelony conduct in anotherstate.

“Since the NFL is prepar-ing to introduce a new playerconduct policy, and sincecriminal charges and investi-gations are in progress, com-ment or speculation would beinappropriate. The club is cur-rently reviewing its optionswith respect to the player.”

The previous day, CarolinaPanthers reserve guardD’Anthony Batiste was arrest-ed and charged with carryinga concealed weapon, a misde-meanor.

“I’ve spoken to over 50players on this issue, and theyall believe leadership in men-toring younger players isimportant,” Goodell said.“That’s one of the things we’llbe encouraging. I’m support-ive of creating a player advi-sory council that would giveme some input, maybe eveninto individual cases.”

The NFL did get somebusiness done, adopting anexpanded program of revenuesharing designed to helplower-revenue clubs. Thecomplex arrangement requiresthat a team must be spending65 percent or more of its rev-enues on player costs before itqualifies for the separate poolof $430 million being madeavailable, retroactive to 2006.

A franchise also must havegate revenues equal to at least90 percent of the league aver-age. Then, the franchise couldnot have been sold in the2006-09 period, and if it has anew or renovated stadiumwith an expenditure of at least$150 million, it doesn’t quali-fy for the extra funds.

This plan does not apply tothe $3.7 billion annually inTV money from Fox, NBC,CBS and ESPN, or the $700million from DirecTV, all ofwhich the 32 teams splitequally.

Qualifying teams share theextra funds: $100 million for2006, then $110 million foreach of the next three years.Once the added funds bringthe team back to 65 percent of

revenues on player costs, thatteam stops collecting.

Goodell said onlyCincinnati and Jacksonville ofthe 32 teams voted against theplan.

“I don’t think anyone is100 percent happy, so it’s awonderful compromise by thecommittee,” Patriots ownerRobert Kraft said. “I’m happywe got 30 of 32 votes. It’s avery fair plan.”

At least one New York law-maker thought so.

“It may not be football sea-son, but we just scored atouchdown,” U.S. Sen.Charles Schumer, who hascampaigned for help for theBuffalo Bills, said in a state-ment. “This is a huge win forBuffalo and Bills fans every-where. This deal will enablethe Bills to stay where theybelong right here in Buffalofor the foreseeable future.

“The Bills are the heart andsoul of Western New York,and this deal is exactly whatthe doctor ordered for the cluband their devoted fans.”

NFLBuckeyes, averaging 15.5points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.5blocks while shooting 61.4percent from the field.

“I’m very surprised,” Odensaid of being selected. “Justwith how things went, I didn’treally play a whole season,and I know there are a lot ofother guys with better num-bers than me. I’m just sur-prised, but I’m honored andthe best I can do is keep onplaying.”

His Buckeyes faceGeorgetown on Saturday inthe Final Four.

Oden had a quick answerwhen asked about the successof himself and Durant in theirfirst seasons in college.

“It’s just younger guyscoming in and just playingbasketball, not worried aboutage or anything,” he said.

Both played in college inlarge part because of the newrule that prohibits the NBAfrom drafting players untilthey turn 19 and are out ofhigh school for one year.

“I’m not sold that the ruleis right or wrong, but I think itshows you the impact and theinflux of how many greatplayers are out there,” saidOhio State coach Thad Matta.

“I think that’s why there’s somuch parity nowadays in col-lege basketball.”

Tucker and Law wereWisconsin’s and TexasA&M’s first All-Americaselections, while Afflalo wasUCLA’s first since EdO’Bannon in 1995.

The 6-6 Tucker, the BigTen player of the year whohelped the Badgers to theirfirst No. 1 ranking, averaged19.9 points and 5.4 rebounds.

Law led the Aggies’ resur-gence from an 0-16 Big 12record in 2003-04 to this sea-son, when they ranked as highas sixth in the country. The 6-3 guard averaged 17.9 pointsand 5.3 assists while shooting51 percent from the field.

“It doesn’t get any biggerthan that as far as individualaccolades,” he said. “Yourteam can do more, but first-team AP All-American?That’s unbelievable. I’m veryexcited and happy.”

Afflalo submitted his nameto the NBA draft last seasonafter leading the Bruins to thenational championship game,but returned and averaged16.7 points and was selectedPac-10 player of the year.

“First and foremost teamgoals are always most impor-tant, but when it comes to theAll-America team it’s a posi-tive thing,” Afflalo said. “Itshows that other people whoknow the game of basketball

understand my contributionsand importance to my team.”

Durant’s 72 first-teamvotes gave him 360 points.Tucker received 64 first-teamvotes and 344 points, fol-lowed by Law (59, 320points), Afflalo (52, 304), andOden (34, 263).

The second team consistsof seniors Nick Fazekas ofNevada and Jared Dudley ofBoston College, juniors ChrisLofton of Tennessee andJoakim Noah of Florida andsophomore Tyler Hansbroughof North Carolina.

The third team has seniorsAaron Brooks of Oregon, AlThornton of Florida State andAaron Gray of Pittsburgh andjuniors Jeff Green ofGeorgetown and Al Horfordof Florida.

The preseason All-Americateam was Hansbrough, Noah,Ronald Steele of Alabama,Glen Davis of LSU andBrandon Rush of Kansas.

Last year’s first team wasJ.J. Redick of Duke and AdamMorrison of Gonzaga, bothunanimous selections,Shelden Williams of Duke,Randy Foye of Villanova andBrandon Roy of Washington.

winner in each of nine cate-gories at the festival in April,came from a design by YuvalAtlas, a 16-year-old boy fromIsrael.

Yale’s introduction to theartform, however, did comefrom young Japanese-American classmates with thesimple construction of four-pronged fortune-tellers, or asshe called them, “cootiecatchers.”

Later, at age 15, she trav-elled to Japan for a month,and said that is where herinterest in the origami andJapan’s culture was solidi-fied. But architecture andengineering, as well as aregard for color, design andtexture, keep her creating theintricate shapes now.

“About 15 or 20 years ago,I became aware that therewas a whole ‘nother areabesides frogs and birds,” shesaid of the traditionalJapanese shapes.

Yale’s primary interest isin modular origami design,which forms small structuresby locking together multipleorigami units in the foldingprocess.

The trophies this year areflat, disklike objects madeeach from eight pieces ofpaper.

The largest design she’screated used 90 pieces ofJapanese paper and tissuepaper and took a few hours tocomplete. While origami, forYale, is mostly a hobby donein spare time, she is inspired

by the work of others whohave made a living off theart.

Her favorite origamiauthor, despite not readingJapanese, is Japanese mathe-matician Tomoko Fuse.

“The language of origamiis pretty universal,” Yale saidof the diagrams with dashedand dotted lines used in thebook to demonstrate how tofold the paper.

She’s looking forward tothe release of a book byMeenakshi Mukerji, a womanwho was born and raised inIndia, but now lives inCalifornia, and mentionedanother Californian, BayArea physicist Robert J.Lang, who puts origami topractical use.

Lang, she said, has doneconsulting work for spaceprojects and the automobileindustry, particularly, apply-ing folding techniques to air-bag design.

But Yale’s work is suitedto the haiku.

“Haikus are very brief andshort, and I wouldn’t want todo an elaborate design for thetrophies. These are direct,simple-type designs,” Yalesaid. “I think it works.”

Smith-Ferri said the tro-phies are well-received by thewinners of the haiku competi-tion and noted that Yale willbe on hand to demonstratethe art of origami at the festi-val, which is being held April29 from 2 to 4 p.m. in theUkiah Valley ConferenceCenter.

According to Ukiah PoetLaureate David Smith-Ferri,Sherrie’s husband, judging ofthe approximate 1,000 entriesin the competition this year,including one from Romaniaand another from NewZealand, began Monday.

PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY’S (PG&E)NOTIFICATION OF FILING OF APPLICATION REQUESTING APPROVAL OF GAS

ACCORD IV SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

Background of this filing:Since 1998, the “Gas Accord” market structure, approved by the California Public Utilities Commission(CPUC), has set the rates, terms and conditions of service for PG&E’s natural gas transmission and storage services. PG&E is scheduled to file a new rate case to reset its gas transportation and storage rateseffective January 1, 2008. The rates currently in effect were approved by the CPUC in December 2004, fora three-year term (2005-2007), under a previous all-party settlement known as “Gas Accord III.”

On March 1, 2007, PG&E and interested parties representing all segments of the natural gas industry inCalifornia (including the CPUC’s independent Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA)) reached an all-partysettlement to be known as “Gas Accord IV.” This new settlement, if approved by the CPUC, will extend theGas Accord III rates, with some modifications, for an additional three-year term from 2008-2010. Some rateswill decline slightly, some will stay the same, and some will increase slightly. The impact of these changeson retail gas bills will be minimal, and is discussed further below. If approved by the CPUC, Gas Accord IVwill continue to provide rate certainty and stability for PG&E’s gas transmission and storage system.

On March 15, 2007 PG&E filed an Application requesting approval of the “Gas Accord IV” SettlementAgreement with the CPUC in PG&E’s 2008 Gas Transmission and Storage Rate Case.

Does this mean gas rates will increase?If approved, the impacts to rates and bills will be minimal—rates for bundled residential gas customers,(customers who receive gas distribution and procurement services from PG&E), will increase by only 0.5 percent, and bundled small and large commercial gas rates will increase by only 0.6 percent.

A typical residential customer using 45 therms per month would see an average monthly gas bill increase of$0.33, from $61.89 to $62.22. For the largest industrial and electric generation customers, the Gas AccordIV rate changes are less than one cent per decatherm, reflecting less than a one-tenth of one percent changein their total gas cost.

THE CPUC PROCESSThe CPUC’s independent Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA) will review this application filing, analyzethe proposal, and present an independent analysis and recommendations for the CPUC’s consideration.Other parties may also participate.

The CPUC may hold evidentiary hearings where the parties of record present their proposals in testimonyand are subject to cross-examination before an Administrative Law Judge. These hearings are open to thepublic, but only those who are parties of record can present evidence or cross-examine witnesses duringevidentiary hearings.

After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the hearing process, the CPUC will issue adraft decision. When the CPUC acts on this application, it may adopt all or part of PG&E’s request, amendor modify it, or deny the application. The CPUC’s final decision may be different from PG&E's proposedapplication filing.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

You may also contact the CPUC’s Public Advisor with comments or questions as follows:

If you are writing a letter to the Public Advisor’s Office, please include the name of the application to whichyou are referring. All comments will be circulated to the Commissioners, the assigned Administrative LawJudge and the Energy Division staff.

you could do very well foryourself in some kind of sideventure, which is well andgood. However, don’t giveup on your major sourceunless your ancillary oneearns far more.

ARIES (March 21-April

19) -- Someone you love andrespect and can usuallydepend on may not live up toyour expectations, mostlybecause you’re likely to betoo demanding.

TAURUS (April 20-May20) -- If you really don’tknow what you want or howyou want it done, the proba-bilities of you completinganything to your satisfactionare rather iffy. Define yourgoals with clarity.

GEMINI (May 21-June

20) -- Usually you’re thekind of person who seesvalue in everything, but anegative attitude may keepyou from having little toadmire in your ideas or thoseof others.

CANCER (June 21-July22) -- Make an effort to livewithin your means, becauseif you fail to do so, some-thing you’re later going towant will be unattainable.Think more about yourfuture.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Although you may act andbehave in a manner thatbrings you the respect ofyour colleagues, you’ll notdeal with your family withthe same considerations,winning you little praise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.22) -- There are two sides toevery coin, but it may bequite difficult to convinceyou of this. If you put toomuch emphasis in negativefactors, it’ll blind you fromseeing any positive ele-ments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.23) -- When it comes to yourpersonal relationships, yourpessimism could overshad-ow any hopes and you’llhave for a good rapport withthem, leading to misunder-standings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- There’s a strongprobability you’ll beinclined to dodge making a

Dear Annie: I am a 13-year-old girl and agood student. I love my life except for onething. I still suck my fingers.

When I was a baby, I never used a pacifier. Iused my fingers. I have tried everything to quit.I did manage to give it up for about a year whenmy grandmother and I had a contest (if Istopped sucking my fingers, she would quitsmoking). But when she died of breast cancer, Itook it really hard and started sucking my fin-gers more than ever.

I realize that I put them in my mouth uncon-sciously, and when I do, I feel better. All myproblems go away. Now I can’t sleep unlesstwo fingers are in my mouth. I know it’sunhealthy and I want to stop, but I don’t knowhow. Please give me some tips. -- Sick ofSucking

Dear Sick: You’d be surprised how manyadults still suck their thumbs or fingers in pri-vate because it relieves stress. It’s a carryoverfrom childhood that has become an ingrained

habit. Most experts say children should stopdoing this because of the potential damage totheir teeth, so if you are having orthodonticproblems, you really should stop. Commoncures include covering your fingers with some-thing unpleasant, such as vinegar or bandages.You also can try substituting something elsewhen you are under stress, like painting, play-ing a videogame, drinking a cup of hot tea, orcalling a friend (text-messaging is ideal, since itwould occupy your fingers). If you truly wantto stop, we are confident you can find a way.

Dear Annie: My husband and I are both inour late 50s. We live in a neighborhood with alot of young couples who have children. My

husband is friends with all the guys, and I enjoyover-the-fence chit-chat with the females, butthat is really all we have in common.

The problem is these neighbors think noth-ing of asking me to baby-sit, do mending, etc. Ihave offered to teach them to sew, but theydon’t see the necessity. Without being rude,how can I extract myself from this withoutaffecting the friendships? I don’t mind helpingout in an emergency, but . . . --Underappreciated

Dear Underappreciated: This could behow those young neighbors find some commonground with you, but if you feel imposed upon,there’s a simple way to end the cycle. Say, “I’dlove to help, but I’m just too busy today. Sorry.”Repeat as needed.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from“Nameless Wife,” whose husband wanted sep-arate bedrooms. Wow! Now you’re talking! Myhusband (of 33 years) and I decided many yearsago to sleep in separate bedrooms. It actuallysaved our marriage.

We have completely different sleeping pat-terns -- he needs eight hours, I need five. He

wants complete quiet. I put the TV on a 15-minute sleep timer. He snores like a train loco-motive and spreads out all over the king bedand routinely pushes me into a corner. I’m upeach day at 4 a.m., and he sleeps until 7 a.m.There was a fight every single night. I said,“That’s it! Separate bedrooms or separatelives.”

We remodeled, and he has his own bedroomand bath and I’ve got mine -- each decorated toour own style. We greet each other in the morn-ing with “Hey, Doll” and “Morning, Sweetie”instead of grumbling and blaming each otherfor the lousy sleep we had. And when we sneakinto each other’s room -- WOW! and WOW!What fun!

“Nameless” should take heart. Separate bed-rooms have nothing to do with love and every-thing to do with self-confidence and security.Who gives a rip what anybody else thinks? Thetwo of you are all that matters. -- Nightee Night

Dear Nightee Night: Your letter is enoughto make everyone get separate bedrooms.Thanks for giving us the positive side.

Clara Valley Health andHospital System, earns$285,744. She oversees the$1.5 billion, 6,000-employeesystem that encompasses thecounty hospital, public clin-ics, department of publichealth and other health ser-vices.

Kim Belshe, the statehealth and human servicessecretary, will soon earn$175,000. She has purviewover a $74 billion budget, 11departments and 33,000 staffstatewide.

The raises, ranging from 7percent to 27 percent, andcosting up to $1 million total,would cover 52 cabinet secre-taries and department direc-tors - senior administratorswho manage agencies such ashealth and human services,food and agriculture, and theCalifornia Highway Patrol.By contrast, most rank-and-file state workers are slated toreceive a 3.3 percent raise inthe next fiscal year.

Schwarzenegger’s cabinetsecretaries (apart from thecorrections chief) actually justgot a raise - an 8.5 percentbump on Dec. 1, whichbrought their salaries up to$142,582. That money wassupposed to make up for sev-eral lean budget years whenthere were no raises.

Before that, the last time acabinet secretary raise came inAugust 2000, when salarieswere boosted 4 percent.

The Legislature last yeargranted the governor unilater-al power to award raises tosenior administrators, a last-

minute provision tucked intolegislation granting a newcontract to CHP workers. Thesalaries could reach up to$258,125, 125 percent of thegovernor’s 206,500 salary(which he declines), thoughthat’s not being recommend-ed. To avoid retirement “spik-ing,” only a portion of theraises will count towardretirement each year.

Last summer, aSchwarzenegger aide said heonly planned to use the new-found authority to raise thepay of Corrections andRehabilitation Secretary JimTilton and possibly one otherofficial. At that time, Tilton’ssalary was boosted from$129,000 to $225,000.

McLear said the adminis-tration hadn’t done enoughresearch at that point to pro-pose raises for other agencysecretaries and directors.

Lawmakers reachedMonday refrained from criti-cizing the governor’s move,which they ceded the ability toblock. Niello, the RepublicanAssemblyman, said he wantedmore details on the compar-isons used to justify the payhikes before saying whetherhe thought they were just.

Several legislativeDemocrats did not return callsfor comment.

Former Contra CostaCounty Supervisor SunneWright McPeak said she tooka 50 percent pay cut when sheleft the presidency of the BayArea Council to work asSchwarzenegger’s business,

transportation and housingsecretary earning $131,000.During her three-year tenure,McPeakoversaw the transfor-mation of customer service atthe Department of MotorVehicles to drastically shortenwait times for customers.

Last year, she took a$200,000 post as the firstpresident and chief executiveof the California EmergingTechnology Fund, a SanFrancisco-based non-profitcharged with expanding high-speed Internet service tounder-served communities.

The new venture was athrilling opportunity, McPeaksaid. It also allowed her tostop wracking up debt to makemortgage payments and assisther aging mother.

“I loved doing the job I wasdoing,” she said. “I just could-n’t afford to do it any more.”

But the sizable raises couldfoster dissension among rank-and-file state workers, most ofwhom are expected to get a3.3 percent salary bump start-ing in July.

“One thing we don’t do isthrow rocks at other stateemployees when they get araise,” said Tim Behrens,president of the Association ofCalifornia State Supervisors,which represents 5,000 super-visors and managers who lackbargaining rights. But “itwould be nice if they’d con-sider passing along the sameraises to managers as they’regiving to the Legislature andagency secretaries.”

In December, the Houseand Senate passed a bill set-ting a six-month deadline for afinalized comprehensive

recovery plan for salmon onthe Klamath River.

The provision was includedin the Magnuson-StevensFishery Conservation andManagement Act at therequest of Thompson andBoxer.

By SAMANTHA YOUNGAssociated Press

SACRAMENTO —California lawmakersexpressed skepticism Mondayabout how theSchwarzenegger administra-tion plans to reduce green-house gases, illustrating thedifficulty in implementing thestate’s much publicized globalwarming law.

Democrats questioned whythe state planned to spend mil-lions of dollars on mecha-nisms that have yet be evalu-ated or clearly defined.

“A lot of the languagewe’re using here is veryfuzzy,” said AssemblywomanLoni Hancock, D-Berkeley,chair of the Assembly NaturalResources Committee. “Ithink we really need to devel-op something that all of thepublic understands.”

The committee held theLegislature’s first public hear-ing on how to implement the

greenhouse gas reductionscalled for in the law, whichwas signed with great fanfarelast year by Gov. ArnoldSchwarzenegger.

It imposes the country’sfirst statewide cap on emis-sions of the heat-trappinggases that are blamed forglobal warming. The lawrequires California to reduceemissions by an estimated 25percent by 2020 — an esti-mated 174 million metrictons.

The California AirResources Board, which wascharged with implementingthe law, has begun hearingsand workshops to sort out howmuch the state must reduce itsemissions and what industrieswill be asked to do.

The board is considering avariety of strategies, includingcreating new regulations forfuels and creating a marketthat would allow companiesto buy and sell credits to meet

their obligations under thelaw, commonly referred to asAssembly Bill 32.

“This is a critical moment,”said Ira Ruskin, D-RedwoodCity. “Implementing AB32 isprobably a task equallyimportant as passing AB32.We have to set the right tonefor the coming years.”

The law is one of the keyways California lawmakersare seeking to limit global cli-mate change. Scientists andexperts in various state agen-cies predict climate changecould diminish California’swater supply, stress farm landand forests, and alter the coastline as sea levels rise.

Debating how to imple-ment the law is expected to betechnically complex and attimes political. While the airboard is preparing its regula-tions, lawmakers from bothparties have introduceddozens of bills aimed at reduc-ing greenhouse gases.
