Soldier laid to rest

By BEN BROWN The Daily Journal



The marathon effort to bring a skate park to Ukiah looks to be reaching its final leg. On Thursday, the Ukiah City Council approved the budget for Fiscal Year 2006-2007, which included two long-awaited lines: expected revenues for the Park Development Fund listed at $214,286 in donations and $500,000 in bonds funds. Inclusion in the budget means money is finally ready for expenditure on the much anticipated skate park. The donation amount -- needed in matching community funds, services and materials for the Skate Park Committee to receive the $500,000 grant made possible by Prop. 40, the Resources Bond Act of 2002, in full -- hasn’t been

Michele Buzzard places flowers on the casket of her husband, Sgt. Jason Buzzard, who was killed in Iraq June 21, as his parents, Jerry and Marilyn Buzzard, look on. Full military honors took place on Friday for Sgt. Buzzard at the Russian River Cemetery.



On Friday, Mendocino County laid to rest a native son. Sgt. Jason Buzzard, the first soldier from Ukiah to fall in the 3-year-old war in Iraq, was interred at the Russian River Cemetery with full military honors. He will be remembered as a great soldier, a great father and a great man. Longtime family friend Debbie Neeson recalled Buzzard as a precocious child and something of a prankster, who had a good-natured rivalry with his sister, Kelly MacMillan. But her best memory of him came years later when he visited Neeson at her office and she was able to see the man he had become. “I was so proud of him for the contribution he was making to his country,” Neeson said. Buzzard’s squad leader, Staff Sgt. Frank Dozhier, also remembered Buzzard as something of a prankster. Dozhier said he once replaced Buzzard’s leader book with one that

The Bureau of Land Management and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has announced that burn restrictions take effect today. All residential and open outdoor burning within state and local responsibility areas in the county will be suspended until further notice. Only in instances where it can be shown that the continuation of burning is essential for reasons of public health, safety and welfare can a restricted temporary burning permit be issued. “Mendocino County fire history shows that suspending debris burning is an effective way of preventing wildfires from debris burn escapes, especially as California enters the hottest and

Salmon season relief efforts under way in state

The Daily Journal



State legislators are making a big effort to bring relief to salmon fishermen and others in the devastated industry after similar efforts were snubbed by the federal government. On Thursday, a number of bipartisan lawmakers got behind a freshly drafted bill that would provide $35 million in emergency money to those affected by the depleted stock of salmon in the Klamath River. The bill, authored by state Sens. Wesley Chesbro, D-Arcata, and Sam



Aanestad, R-Grass Valley, is also supported by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Assemblywoman Patty Berg, DEureka. Federal restrictions put in place in April have limited fishing in order to allow salmon populations to replenish. The low population, according to Chesbro, stems from the Bush administration’s mismanagement of the Klamath River. “The administration in Washington has single-handedly cre-

ated this disaster, but it’s now up to the State of California to help our people,” Chesbro said in a conference call Thursday. Schwarzenegger and Aanestad also addressed the press in the call. The legislation, SB 1127, would create a $20 million revolving loan program that will provide zero interest loans to commercial fishermen and vessel operators, offer $10 million in aid to other businesses impacted by the federal restrictions and another $5 million in emergency



grants for fishermen and vessel operators. It will begin moving when the Legislature reconvenes in August. In early June, Schwarzenegger proclaimed a state of emergency in 10 California counties including Mendocino, in hopes of spawning a federal disaster declaration. On Thursday, he added another three counties -- San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Trinity -- to the list. United States legislators have also

Sangiacomo said that gift will most likely be used to cover costs that exceed the skate committee’s fund. The grant proposal for the park listed the expected cost at $714,000, but Sangiacomo said a recent increase in construction costs partially due to natural disasters might mean the project will be more expensive. “I think we’ll have a better understanding of what the costs will be once we have the design,” Sangiacomo said, adding that the architect would be instructed to design a park within the city’s budget. With the budget approved, Sangiacomo said the next step will be to send a request for quote letters to architectural firms in order to begin the design phase. The Community Services Department is in the process of developing the document. According to Sangiacomo, enough money has been raised to complete this segment. Once an architect is selected, the architect will seek community input about the type of skate park that’s wanted. “That is when the true design phase will start,” Sangiacomo said. He expects most of the money needed for the second phase -- construction -- will be raised by the time it starts. A plot beside the Depot Park on Perkins Street was selected as the park’s future site in June 2004. While he was hesitant to put a timeline on construction, Sangiacomo said the city and Skate Park Committee hope to break ground there in the 2006-2007 Fiscal Year. The Skate Park Committee’s next meeting is scheduled for 5:15 to 6:45 p.m. July 11, at 411 W. Clay St. in a Ukiah Civic Center meeting room.

Hiker rescued from Vichy Springs ledge Skate

By BEN BROWN The Daily Journal



Continued from Page 1



Firefighters rescued a 58year-old man in the Vichy Springs Road area east of Vichy Springs Resort at 8:06 p.m. Thursday. The Ukiah Valley Fire District, working with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, rescued the man who became stranded on a ledge while hiking. The hiker, whose name was not released, was on private property when the shale beneath his feet began to slide and he slid down a steep hill and became stranded on a narrow ledge. He stayed put while his friends contacted emergency personnel on a cell phone. Firefighters climbed above the man, secured ropes to nearby trees and lowered a firefighter down to him. The man was outfitted with a safety harness and lowered 250 feet to the creek bed below. The rescue took two hours. The man suffered only minor scrapes and did not require medical attention.

driest period of summer weather,” said CDF Mendocino Unit Chief Marc Romero. Campfires on public and private land are still permitted if they are maintained in such a manner as to prevent them



from spreading to surrounding wildland vegetation. CDF also wants to remind county residents that all fireworks are illegal in Mendocino County unless you are in possession of a pyrotechnic license for public display issued by the Office of the State Fire Marshal. The BLM announced fire restrictions on BLM-managed land in 13 counties, including



Mendocino County. Under these restrictions, campfires and charcoal barbecues can only be used within fire rings at developed recreation sites, posted campsites and campgrounds. Smoking is only permitted in vehicles or at developed recreation sites. Portable stoves and lanterns that use gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel are exempt but



require a burn permit. The restrictions also prohibit the use of internal combustion engines and motor vehicles except on established roads and trails and the use of steel-jacketed or other incendiary ammunition. The possession of fireworks, including those approved by the state fire marshal, are prohibited on BLM land.

been pushing for a federal declaration. On Wednesday, California Rep. Mike Thompson and Oregon Rep. Peter DeFazio met with Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez to ask him to declare the West Coast salmon season a disaster. Gutierrez agreed to review the situation. “What is really outrageous is that the federal government made this decision, and recognizes the devastating impact, but will not issue a disaster declaration until next spring,”



Schwarzenegger said. According to Thompson, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which oversees offshore fishing, has said it will not be able to issue a disaster declaration until February when the extent of loss is more clear. NOAA spokesman Jordan St . John, however, said a disaster could be declared at any time. Federal lawmakers have tried to get funding, but some say the declaration is necessary first. On June 15, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., included provisions for salmon disaster assistance in a fisheries bill



passed last week. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Amendments Act will make $81 million available for affected commercial fishermen. Also, under the act, the Department of Commerce will be required to complete a Klamath salmon recovery plan within six months of the bill’s passage, and provide $45 million to implement it. But the catch is that the act says that money can be made available only if the secretary makes a determination that there is a disaster. Thompson also was able to include an amendment in a



bill passed by the House that earmarks $2 million for disaster relief. Berg, who authored a resolution to ask the federal government for assistance that passed unanimously in the state Assembly Thursday, is doing what she can to help local fisherman. “All of this hardship on these people, and none of it is their fault,” Berg said. “I truly hope that this is the beginning of what we can do for them.” In addition to immediate assistance, Berg says that the health of both the rivers and salmon population need to be addressed.



reached yet, but Sage Sangiacomo, community services director for the city, is optimistic it will be within the coming fiscal year. “We are certainly a lot further along than just six months to a year ago,” Sangiacomo said. Of the $214,286 in donations needed, the committee has already come up with $142,036, a figure that does not include in-kind service or material donations, according to Sangiacomo. This leaves roughly another $70,000 to be raised. “The ongoing problem is keeping the public involved,” said Ed Keller of the Skate Park’s Fundraising Subcommittee. “We’re finding that people aren’t donating as much now.” The committee is planning a few fund-raisers to keep the momentum going. A Ukiah Skate Park Picnic and Skate Jam will be held Aug. 26 from 3 to 7 p.m. in the Alex R. Thomas Plaza. It will include a free concert, skate jam and the annual golf ball drop. Golf balls will cost $10 apiece, and cash prizes will be awarded to the first three balls that land in the designated area. According to Trish Beltrami, a Skate Park Committee member, 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit the skate park. The committee has also planned a skate jam during Pumpkin Fest and a Fiesta Dinner for the fall, Beltrami said. “Once we do have the park completed, there will also be continued fund-raising efforts to raise money for the maintenance of the park,” Beltrami said. “We don’t want the literally decades of work to go downhill and have the park end up in disrepair.” Donations can also be made at any Savings Bank of Mendocino County branch, the Community Foundation of Mendocino County and the City of Ukiah. In addition to what will be raised, a portion of county Supervisor Jim Wattenburger’s share of

Sympathy for the devil

WASHINGTON -- I considered myself quite a benevolent boss until I learned that my old assistant Marc was secretly slipping St. John’s wort into my smoothies in hopes of perking up my mood. Maybe I just seemed benign compared with a fellow columnist, whose assistant had such a bad panic attack when her boss was due back from vacation that she had to be rushed to the emergency room, where she was surprised to find herself part of an epidemic of palpitating assistants dreading the return of their bosses. Or maybe I figured I was a peach because I only asked assistants to help select my cell phone ring -- 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” or the Fox Sunday football theme? -- rather than throwing a cell at them while grabbing their throat, biting their lip and head-butting them, Naomi Campbell-style. Whatever tart remarks I’d made, I was not in a league with David Spade, whose assistant, Skippy, got so agitated that he shot the star -- who was playing a snide assistant on “Just Shoot Me” -- with a stun gun. (From now on, my first requirement for assistants is that they always show up for work unarmed.) So, given my relatively angelic self-image, I was surprised, at a screening of “The Devil Wears Prada,” to find myself sympathizing with the devil -- Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly, the Anna Wintoury editrix of a top fashion magazine who is described as “a notorious sadist, and not in the good way.” Is it so wrong of Miranda to expect her assistant, Andy Sachs (played by Anne Hathaway), to know how to spell Gabbana, reach Donatella and ban freesia? Is it so bad to want help getting a warm rhubarb compote for Michael Kors? Or to have an assistant who knows what an eyelash curler is? This was, after all, the business they had chosen, as they say in “The Godfather.” It might be heresy for Bergdorf blondes and Park Avenue princesses like the Sykes sisters -- Plum, Peach or Apricot -- but it doesn’t matter if my assistant mixes up camisoles and cardigans in conversation, as she has been known to do. Here in the nation’s capital, size 6 is not “the new 14,” but a cause for celebration; a knowledge of cloture, not cloche, matters; eyelashes attract less attention that earmarks; and red Fox TV is more essential than red fox Fendi. It’s not that I agree with the contention, espoused in the movie, that if the malevolent Miranda were a man, no one would notice anything except how good she is at her job. Certainly, strong women are more easily caricatured as castrating and shrill termagants and harridans. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some powerful women who are bullies, just as there are male bosses who are bullies. The Devil can wear Timberland. It just seems better, this time, to side with the Wicked Stepmother than the opportunistic Cinderella. After a high-fashion makeover, Andy -- the character based on Lauren Weisberger, the tall, lithe blonde who worked as an assistant to Anna Wintour at Vogue before writing her whiny hiss-and-tell best-seller -- decides to reject the high-end porn of the fashion world, where everyone is “one stomach flu away” from their goal weight, and return to her real values. Unfortunately, this Cinderella’s primary value turned out to be voyeurism, profiting by keeping her nose to the glass and poaching off her glamorous former boss’ life. The only thing worse than the Devil who wears Prada is a person who profits from the fact that the Devil wears Prada. Even with a dazzling performance by lovely Meryl Streep, who tucks the picture in her Chanel bag and runs off on her Manolo stilettos with it, “the story is glossy junk begat of just-plain junk,” as Lisa Schwarzbaum writes in Entertainment Weekly.’ “The Devil Wears Prada” is not “All About Eve.” As a friend noted, it’s more like Rona Jaffe’s “The Best of Everything” with fashion, a fun look at what it’s like to be young, servile and breathlessly climbing in Manhattan, dealing with a tough woman for a boss and the struggle not to let your professional ambition supersede your romantic ambition. (Except for Faye Dunaway in “Network,” Hollywood de-eroticizes women in power.) Eve Harrington plotted to be rich and famous by becoming Margo Channing. In this age of media exhibitionism, Lauren Weisberger plotted to be rich and famous by writing about how she didn’t want to become Anna Wintour. The enterprise is no less vampiric, second-order cruelty as opposed to firstorder cruelty. Whether or not Anna and Miranda are really monsters, at least they are themselves. It’s more admirable to be the beast to which the parasite attaches itself than to be the parasite. Maureen Dowd became a columnist on The New York Times' Op-Ed page in 1995 .



Chinese medicine for American schools

SHANGHAI, China -- Visitors to China are always astonished by the new highways and skyscrapers, and by the endless construction projects that make China’s national bird the crane. But the investments in China’s modernization that are most impressive of all are in human capital. The blunt fact is that many young Chinese in cities like Shanghai or Beijing receive a better elementary and high school education than Americans do. That’s a reality that should embarrass us and stir us to seek lessons from China. On this trip I brought with me a specialist on American third-grade education -- my third-grade daughter. Together we sat in on third-grade classes in urban Shanghai and in a rural village near the Great Wall. In math, science and foreign languages, the Chinese students were far ahead. My daughter was mortified when I showed a group of Shanghai teachers some of the homework she had brought along. Their verdict: first-grade level at a school in Shanghai. Granted, China’s education system has lots of problems. Universities are mostly awful, and in rural areas it’s normally impossible to hold even a primitive conversation in English with an English teacher. But children in good schools in Chinese cities are leaving our children in the dust. Last month, the Asia Society published an excellent report, “Math and Science Education in a Global Age: What the U.S. Can Learn from China.” It notes that China educates 20 percent of the world’s students with 2 percent of the world’s education resources. And the report finds many potential lessons in China’s rigorous math and science programs. Yet, there isn’t any magic to it. One reason Chinese students learn more math and science than Americans is that they work harder at it. They spend twice as many hours studying, in school and out, as Americans. Chinese students, for example, must do several hours of homework each day during their summer vacation, which lasts just two months. In contrast, American students have to spend each September relearning what they forgot over the summer. China’s government has developed a solid national curriculum, so that nearly all high school students study advanced biology and calculus. In contrast, only 13 percent of American high school pupils study calculus, and fewer than 18 percent take advanced biology. Yet if the Chinese government takes math and science seriously, children and parents do so even more. At Cao Guangbiao elementary school in Shanghai, I asked a third-grade girl, Li Shuyan, her daily schedule. She gets up at 6:30 a.m. and spends the rest of the day studying or practicing her two musical instruments. So if she gets her work done and has time in the evening, does she watch TV or hang out with friends? “No,” she said, “then I review my work and do extra exercises.” A classmate, Jiang Xiuyuan, said that during summer vacation, his father allows him to watch television each evening -- for 10 minutes. The Chinese students get even more driven in high school, as they prepare for the national college entrance exams. Yang Luyi, a ninth-grader at the firstrate Shanghai High School, said that even on weekends he avoided going to movies. “Going to the cinema is time-consuming,” he noted, “so when all the other students are working so diligently, how can you do something so irrelevant?” And romance? Li Yafeng, a ninth-grade girl at the same school, giggled at my question. “I never planned to have a boyfriend in high school,” she said, “because it’s a waste of time.” Now, I don’t want such a pressured childhood for my children. But if Chinese go overboard in one direction, we Americans go overboard in the other. U.S. children average 900 hours a year in class and 1,023 hours in front of a television. I don’t think we could replicate the Chinese students’ drive even if we wanted to. But there are lessons we can learn -- like the need to shorten summer vacations and put far more emphasis on math and science. A central challenge for this century will be how to regulate genetic tinkering with the human species; educated Chinese are probably better equipped to make those kinds of decisions than educated Americans. During the Qing Dynasty that ended in 1912, China was slow to learn lessons from abroad and adjust its curriculum, and it paid the price in its inability to compete with Western powers. These days, the tables are turned, and now we need to learn from China. Nicholas D. Kristof was appointed to a special post as columnist for The New York Times in 2001.



Letters from our readers

Send a child to camp

To the Editor: I am the founding Executive Director of Redwood Children?s Services Inc. (RCS) and I am writing to because our community has been able to sustain many worthy causes over the years, and I know that your readers will understand why it is so important that I request your help at this time. Every year we take our foster children to camps specially designed by RCS. The camps are divided by age group, a 3-day little tikes camp at Saratoga Springs in Lake County and the teen Youth Empowerment Camp which is held at a large facility in Sonoma County. We have all of our children (currently 225 plus children) that attend one of these camps. All of our children and youth who have returned home or left foster care are invited back, as well as the children who are receiving out-patient counseling services through our Children’s Therapeutic Services Program. The reason I am writing is that in order to run this camp for the ninth year we are in serious need of funding. RCS has received no increase in the cost of care for several years and our ability to margin of error has significantly decreased. Our Little Tikes Camp and our Youth Empowerment Camp costs approximately $40,000. RCS has found foster homes for over 1,000 children and we have served over 1,400 children through our Foster Family Agency, Transitional Housing Placement Program, and Community Group Living Centers in the last 10 years. We are a multi-service agency for children in the foster care system from Lake and Mendocino counties. RCS has provided counseling and rehabilitation services to 500 plus children over the last three years. I share this information with you in order to highlight just how significant an impact that Redwood Children’s Services has had on the health and welfare of our communities most vulnerable children. I was raised in the foster care system after a childhood of trauma, and I know first hand the importance of role models, and an opportunity for therapeutic healing among my peers. This is what our camp provides. We have 24 mentors who are graduates of the foster care system, and local college youth who want to provide a community service and who have become invaluable to our camps success. These mentors take time off from family, work, and school every year to be apart of the therapeutic and intense healing experiences with our foster youth. Our camps are a mixture of recreation, skill building and intense therapeutic discovery. This year our camp theme is “Celebrate Self.” I ask that you to reflect on how many young children, youth, and young adult future leaders are affected by the intense, personal therapeutic journey of a camp for youth, by youth. Thank you for taking the time to consider our request. Please call us at 4672000 for more information about how you can help or send your check to: RCS, P.O.

Kudos

To the Editor: Saturday June 17 was Ukiah High’s 33rd annual SCRAM, or Safe and Sober night. Two hundred fifty seniors and guests spent the night at the Ukiah High School enjoying a variety of activities including a live band, Black Jack/Texas Hold-Em tournament, karaoke, swimming, movies, climbing wall, and jousting. This was supplemented by ample food and beverages, including a barbecue. The event finished with a 5 a.m. breakfast. Throughout the months of preparations, endless phone calls, pleas for donations, requests for parent volunteers, countless meetings, set up, directing the whole ensemble, and tirelessly monitoring clean up until late Sunday afternoon, SCRAM director Sheryl Graves remained the driving organizational force. She remained calm and apparently collected. Without her inexhaustible energy the class of 2006 and parent volunteers would have been faced with the possibility of cancelling SCRAM. Sheryl, you did it! Thank you for another successful SCRAM without a local horror story on graduation night. Kudos to Sheryl Graves! Russ Tow and volunteer Ukiah High parents Ukiah

REGULATORY BREAKTHROUGH

Blindness drug approved

To combat major cause of blindness in elderly

By ANDREW BRIDGES Associated Press



House lifts offshore drilling ban, but a battle looms in Senate

By H. JOSEF HEBERT Associated Press



WASHINGTON — The first drug shown to significantly improve the vision of patients threatened by a major cause of blindness in the elderly won federal approval Friday. The drug, called Lucentis, treats the wet form of agerelated macular degeneration, a disorder where blood vessels behind the retina leak blood and fluid, worsening vision and often causing blindness. An estimated 90 percent of the 1.4 million Americans who have lost their eyesight due to the disorder have the wet form. Lucentis, made by the South San Francisco, Calif., biotechnology company Genentech Inc., inhibits the growth of blood vessels when injected into the eye. Other Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments can arrest progression of the disease, which can lead to blindness in just weeks or months, but none has been shown to significantly reverse deteriorating vision. Genentech may find Lucentis competing against another of its drugs, the cancer treatment Avastin. Avastin is increasingly used to treat macular degeneration for as little as $17 a dose. Lucentis is likely to cost upward of $2,000 a dose. Lucentis and Avastin both block the same protein believed responsible for the blood vessel growth. Early results from Lucentis trials led doctors more than two years ago to begin experimenting with Avastin to treat age-related macular degeneration, commonly called AMD. “It gave physicians and patients great hope we are going to be able to improve vision in our patients rather than just slow down the loss of vision,” said Dr. George Williams, an American Academy of Ophthalmology spokesman, of the early results. Since then, at least 10,000 macular degeneration patients have received Avastin injections, a so-called “off-label” use of the drug. “It’s become a worldwide phenomenon,” said Dr. Philip Rosenfeld, a professor of ophthalmology at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami who pioneered its use for AMD. The Food and Drug Administration does not sanction using Avastin to treat macular degeneration. Genentech stresses that it has not studied the safety or effectiveness of Avastin in treating the disease, nor does it plan to do so. “We believe Lucentis is a much better choice,” said Dr. Hal Barron, Genentech’s chief medical officer. “I really believe when treating patients, you have to look at the wealth of data supporting its use and the quality of that data.” ——— On the Net: Food and Drug Administration: www.fda.gov/ Genentech Inc.: www.gene.com/



WASHINGTON — Congress has taken a major step toward allowing oil and gas drilling in coastal waters that have been off limits for a quarter-century. Still, a battle looms in the Senate over the issue. And the Bush administration’s support for the legislation, which was approved Thursday by a 232187 vote in the House, is lukewarm. The House bill would end an Outer Continental Shelf drilling moratorium that Congress has renewed every year since 1981. It covers 85 percent of the country’s coastal waters — everywhere except the central and western Gulf of Mexico and some areas off Alaska. Rep. Richard Pombo, RCalif., a leading proponent for lifting the ban, said he believes a majority of the Senate wants to open the protected waters to energy companies. Asked about White House opposition to some parts of the bill, especially a provision that would give tens of billions of dollars to states that have drilling rigs off their



In the Senate, the measure is likely to face a filibuster from Florida senators and possibly others from coastal states that fear offshore energy development could threaten multibillion-dollar tourist and recreation businesses if there were a spill.

coasts, Pombo said, “I dare them to veto this bill.” “They don’t like us giving money back to the states. I think it’s right,” Pombo told reporters after the vote. Forty Democrats joined most Republicans in favor of ending the drilling moratorium. In the Senate, the measure is likely to face a filibuster from Florida senators and possibly others from coastal states that fear offshore energy development could threaten multibillion-dollar tourist and recreation businesses if there were a spill. The Senate is considering a limited measure that would open an area in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, known as Lease Area 181, that comes within 100 miles of Florida. It is not under the moratorium. Even that is unlikely to pass unless its sponsors get 60 votes to overcome a filibuster from the Floridians. Sen. Pete Domenici, RN.M., chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said he would pursue efforts to open the Lease 181 Area. The committee’s ranking Democrat, Sen. Jeff Bingaman, also of New Mexico, criticized the Housepassed bill, saying it would eventually create “a huge hole in our federal budget and undermine environmental protections on our lands and off our coasts.” Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., said Friday that Senate GOP leaders and Domenici have agreed on a new revenue-sharing plan that would funnel 37.5 percent of future royalties from Area 181 development to the four energy producing Gulf states, and also open an additional 6.3 million acres south of Area 181. That proposal does not address the Florida senators’ concerns and may generate new opposition to Domenici’s bill from senators opposed to changing the royalty distribution formulas. Domenici later said in a statement, “I’ve had a number of productive meetings with Sen. Landrieu. ... We’ve made progress ... but we’re not there yet.” The House vote was a huge victory for Pombo, two Louisiana lawmakers — Republican Bobby Jindal and Democrat Charlie Melancon — and Rep. John Peterson, RPa., who spearheaded the drive to lift the moratorium. Only six weeks ago, a proposal by Peterson to open coastal waters to natural gas development fell 14 votes short. This time, they included a provision that would allow states to keep the moratorium in place if they opposed drilling and changed the revenue sharing so that states’ share of royalties would soar eventually as much as 75 percent. The Gulf states where most U.S. offshore energy resources are being tapped, now get less than 5 percent of the royalties. For example, Louisiana’s royalties would



go from $32 million last year to a total of $8.6 billion over the next 10 years. The Interior Department estimated that the changes could cost the federal government as much as $69 billion in lost royalties over 15 years and “several hundred billion dollars” over 60 years. The White House issued a statement saying it favors much of the bill but strongly opposes the changes in royalty revenue sharing, which it said “would have a long-term impact on the federal deficit.” The Interior Department estimates there are about 19 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 86 trillion cubic feet of natural gas beneath waters under drilling bans from New England to southern Alaska. Supporters of the drilling moratorium argue there’s four times that amount of oil and gas available in offshore waters open to energy companies, mainly in the central and western Gulf of Mexico and off parts of Alaska. ——— On the Net: Interior Department Minerals Management Service: www.mms.gov/revaldiv/RedNatAssessment.htm



Early Supreme Court consensus gives way to fractured rulings

By NANCY BENAC Associated Press



Find the purr-fect pet

in Journal Classifieds



WASHINGTON — Last October, liberal standardbearer John Paul Stevens welcomed conservative Chief Justice John Roberts to the court by wishing him “a long and happy career in our common calling.” In February, it was Roberts’ turn to welcome fellow conservative Samuel Alito with exactly the same collegial greeting. Yet for all the talk of consensus and harmony on the new Supreme Court, plenty of trees had to die to provide enough paper for the justices’ fractured rulings on some of the most contentious cases of the court’s term. And all sides are betting that this transitional year — in which Roberts slipped into his seat just days before the term began and Alito arrived halfway through — served as a fairly mild prelude to far bigger dustups to come next term and for many years hence. Roberts, the smooth and savvy chief justice from central casting, promised at his confirmation hearings last September to be a “modest” justice rather than an activist. In that spirit, he opted for a basic black robe rather than the flashy gold stripes worn on the sleeves of his predecessor, the late William Rehnquist. Roberts has spoken publicly of his desire to achieve unanimity through narrow rulings that would offer “clarity and guidance.” And he had some success, evidenced by a healthy share of unanimous opinions. Even some cases that were expected to split the court — on abortion, campaign finance and disabled inmates, for example — were resolved unanimously and without creating upheaval. But as more difficult cases trickled out before the justices began their summer break on Friday, it became clear that “the early buzz of peace, love, harmony and Kumbaya was probably overstated,” said Ohio State University law professor Douglas Berman. “This is a closely divided court on a lot of issues that can’t help but express genuine disagreements on the way critical legal issues ought to be looked at.” In a 5-4 case on Monday upholding Kansas’ death penalty law, the four liberal dissenters labeled the statute



“obtuse by any moral or social measure.” Justice Antonin Scalia, known for his firebreathing opinions, countered that the liberals were contributing to international “sanctimonious criticism of America’s death penalty.” In a 5-3 ruling on Thursday, the court’s last day, moderate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy joined the court’s liberal members in finding that President Bush had overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees. Justice Clarence Thomas underscored his strong opposition by reading his dissent from the bench for the only the second time in his 15-year-career. In a major wetlands case this month, the court produced five separate opinions covering 100 pages. Roberts lamented that, because of the muddled result, interested parties “will now have to feel their way on a case-by-case basis.” The divisions aren’t just along liberal-conservative lines. Within the reinforced conservative wing of the court, there are strong and sometimes conflicting opinions. Scalia took fellow conservative Alito to task for making “illegitimate and ill-advised” use of legislative history in one opinion. In another case, Alito faulted Scalia for making “a subtle but important mistake” in his analysis of a defendant’s right to counsel. Both men seemed to be sending the message that they’re not intellectual clones: “Don’t call us Scalito,” as paraphrased by lawyer Kathleen Sullivan, moderator of an American Constitution Society panel reviewing the court’s term. For all of the focus on the



Chief Justice Roberts court’s new fifty-something justices and the chemistry of the so-called Roberts court, it turns out that the jurist to watch is 69-year-old Anthony Kennedy, a moderate who’s been on the bench nearly two decades. His role as a swing voter was overshadowed in years past by that of centrist Sandra Day O’Connor. But now that O’Connor is gone, “the basic principle that you need to understand is that it’s Justice Kennedy’s world and you just live in it,” said Washington lawyer Thomas Goldstein, who regularly argues cases at the high court and tracks voting trends. As he fancifully put it, “Justice O’Connor, having been the most powerful woman in the universe, handed the keys to him on the way out the door and said, “Have fun,’ and he took up that invitation.” This term, Kennedy has provided the fifth vote on some of the court’s toughest cases, including the death penalty, Guantanamo and wetlands cases. More often than not, he has sided with the conservatives. Court watchers expect that trend to be more pronounced next term, when the docket



includes contentious issues such as affirmative action and a federal ban on what opponents call partial birth abortion. “We’re almost certain to see next term an emphasis on those areas, namely abortion and race, where Kennedy is measurably more conservative than O’Connor in ways that likely will be utterly decisive,” said David Garrow, a Supreme Court historian at Cambridge University. The replacement of Rehnquist with Roberts didn’t shift the court’s ideological balance much, but the substitution of Alito for O’Connor clearly pushed the court to the right. An analysis of voting trends shows Alito’s affinity with the Scalia-KennedyThomas-Roberts bloc to be as much as 15 percent higher than was O’Connor’s. “I think everybody really has to be aware that the court has become considerably more conservative,” said Goldstein. “The real pitch in ideological cases has to be made to Justice Kennedy, and it’s very much going to have to be made on a case-by-case basis.” The court’s shift to the right could well sharpen in years to come, depending on the timing of future departures from the bench and the political party of the next president. The court’s four conservatives — ages 51, 56, 58 and 70 — are actuarially destined to out-



last the liberals — ages 66, 67, 73, and 86. That age split has created an unusual dynamic for Roberts, at 51 the youngest chief justice in two centuries. “The people sitting around the conference table are his parents’ generation and they call him chief,” said Thomas Baker, a Florida International University law professor who served as Rehnquist’s first administrative assistant. “His self-deprecating style helps here. His humor helps here. And, one thing that cannot be overlooked, is how impressive his intellect is.” The court’s new lineup is likely to change the dynamic in ways that extend well beyond the differences in how Roberts and Alito might vote compared with Rehnquist and O’Connor, says John McGinnis, a Northwestern law professor who worked with Alito in the Reagan Justice Department. For example, there are some early signs that Justice Stephen Breyer may be inclined to vote more strategically to stay within the majority on certain cases, McGinnis said. And Roberts, for his part, may be assigning Breyer to write certain opinions in an effort to keep him from reflexively siding with the other liberals. “I think that will be a story we should be following for the next five years,” McGinnis said.

Dennis Busse, Ukiah High School’s athletic director and head baseball coach for the past 10 years, confirmed to The Daily Journal Friday afternoon that he has been fired as athletic director. Busse said he was contacted by UHS principal Ken Montoya Sunday and given the news of his termination.



“I’m no longer the athletic director,” Busse said by phone interview. Busse will no longer receive the annual stipend given to the UHS athletic director, and cleaned out his office at UHS Monday. Asked if his firing came as a suprise, Busse declined to comment, simply saying: “I don’t want to get into that.” As of Friday, Busse was still head



baseball coach and still a teacher at UHS, but didn’t know if an interim athletic director had been named. “As of now, yes, I’m still the baseball coach,” Busse said. “I don’t know anything about who’s going to be A.D.” Busse has been the head baseball coach at UHS for 10 years, and has won a North Bay League title. He has come under fire recently as a result of



a formal complaint filed to the Ukiah Unified School District by the mother of one of one of Busse’s baseball players. The complaint was filed June 19. Allegedly, Busse implied that players expecting to play on Ukiah High School’s varsity team had to play for his summer league team, the American Legion-based Ukiah Cats, or they

Even with a new look, today and Sunday’s 50th Soroptomist Swim Meet still draws a crowd, with over 300 swimmers competing from Eureka, the Bay Area, and the hometown Ukiah Dolphins. “There’s going to be racing all day long, and it’s open to the public,” said first-year Dolphins head coach Natasha Pasternak. “It’s a good way for kids that are thinking about wanting to start Dolphins to come out and see what it’s all about.” The mid-summer swim meet used to be held at Todd Grove Park, and allowed swimmers to camp and compete, thus drawing a bigger crowd, but the turnout still looks to be big, with racing starting at 10 a.m. today and 9 a.m. Sunday and going until 3 or 4 p.m. each day. “It’s too bad that we can’t have it in the park anymore, but they put new rules in that said the pool had to be at least five feet everywhere for diving in,” Pasternak said. “It’s a safety precaution, but it did bring a lot more people in when we had it in the park.” Pasternak, 22, is no stranger to the Soroptomist meet, having started swimming with the Dolphins when she was just eight years old and recently finishing up a career at Dennison (Ohio) University, where she graduated with a degree in Biology. Dolphins swimmers range in age from 6-17 years old, and there are about 90 swimmers in the program, with 50 expected to swim at this weekend’s meet. “They needed somebody, so that’s how they got me,” said a smiling Pasternak. “This weekend should be a lot of fun.”

YOUNTVILLE – The Mendo baseball club nearly pulled off a miraculous rally in the opening game of the Joe DiMaggio Fourth of July Tournament, eventually settling for a 9-6 loss to San Bruno at the Veteran’s Home ballpark in Yountville Friday evening. “They were a really patient team,” said Mendo coach Mario Scaturro. “They waited for their pitches and we gave up too many walks.” Already leading 3-0 in the bottom of the second inning, Greg Gonzalez blasted a three-run home run over the ivy-covered fence in left-center field to give San Bruno a 6-0 lead. Aaron Bauman got Mendo on the board in the top of the third, driving a single to



left field, scoring Jason Chapman from third base. Mendo pitcher Devin Jackson got the hook to begin the fourth inning, and Matt Espinoza was unable to find the strike zone against a talented San Bruno squad. Espinoza walked four batters in the fourth, walking San Bruno’s seventh run across the plate. Trailing 7-1, the Mendo bats came alive in the fifth inning. Mark Pedersen drove a run across with a single to left field, and Chapman followed it up with a drive to the gap in left-center field, ending up in the thick ivy and scoring Pedersen. The Mendo hit parade continued as Bauman ripped a shot down the right field line, bringing Chapman in

SACRAMENTO — New Sacramento Kings coach Eric Musselman doesn’t care if Quincy Douby takes 35-foot shots on the floor — as long as he’s making them well. “If he’s not making 35-footers, we’ll ask him to step in a foot or two. But from the tapes we saw of him, he had no problems taking those shots,” Musselman said with a laugh Friday, two days after his team selected the Rutgers shooting guard as the 19th pick in the NBA Draft’s first round. “If the guy can make them, we’ll let him shoot



them.” Douby said he knows he can put the ball up a few feet beyond the 3point line, though he’s not aware of where he takes the shots. “I surprise myself sometimes, you know,” Douby said. “When I watch the films, I’m like, ’I shot it that deep?’ But I just read situations. If I see someone backing up, then if we really need that shot, I feel like I have the confidence to do it.” And the Kings hope Douby can instinctively parlay that self-assurance during his rookie season. Douby was sixth in the nation



scoring with a career-best 25.4 per game in his junior season with Scarlet Knights. The 6-foot-3, 175pound athlete reached the 20-point level in 24 of Rutgers’ final 29 games in 2005-06. Also the leading scorer in the Big East Conference, Douby scorched Syracuse for 41 points in the Carrier Dome on 15-for-32 shooting from the floor and 9-for-17 from the 3point arc. Douby said he wanted to play point guard for Rutgers, though the team desperately needed him to play the off-guard role to score baskets.



BERKELEY — California quarterback Steve Levy was suspended for the team’s season opener Friday for his involvement in a bar fight last weekend. Levy, a senior who led the Golden Bears to season-ending wins over Stanford and Brigham Young last season, pleaded not guilty Thursday to felony assault charges stemming from the fight, in which he allegedly threw a pint glass at a bouncer’s face after getting into an argument with another patron at an Irish pub in San Francisco. The pint hit the bouncLevy er in the forehead. “At a minimum, Steve will miss the first game of his senior year,” coach Jeff Tedford said. “Further action, if warranted, will be decided upon after resolution of his situation.” The Bears, expected to be a top-10 team in most preseason polls, open their season Sept. 2 at Tennessee. Levy also is suspended from participating in team workouts and activities. He is expected to be a backup to Nate Longshore or Joe Ayoob this season. Levy is scheduled to return to court July 18 for a pre-hearing conference.

STRASBOURG, France — A major doping scandal threw the first Tour de France of the post-Lance Armstrong era into chaos Friday, with favorites Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso forced out of the world’s premier cycling race under a cloud of suspicion. Some in cycling hailed the decision to bar them and other riders implicated in a doping probe in Spain as a breakthrough for efforts to clean up the oft-tainted sport. The scandal could rank as cycling’s biggest, given the high profile of the riders and the large number suspected.



The Tour, already wide open without Armstrong, will now begin on Saturday with no clear favorite to succeed the Texan who retired last year after his record seventh straight win. The race will also have a reduced field of 176 riders, instead of the 189 originally expected, because teams agreed not to replace those riders being sent home for suspected doping. The scandal, brewing for weeks in Spain, broke open in the space of a few hours in Strasbourg, the starting point for this year’s three-week, 2,272-mile trek across France and neighboring countries. Late Thursday night, Spanish authorities sent race organizers more than 40 pages summarizing police investigations into a ring that allegedly supplied riders and other athletes with banned drugs, dop-



ing expertise and performance-enhancing blood transfusions. The police report implicated nine riders — Basso and Ullrich included — who were signed up for this Tour, cycling’s governing body said. Their teams were informed and, with the exception of one squad, all reacted quickly Friday, telling their racers they were out. Ullrich, the 1997 Tour winner, and other members of his T-Mobile squad were heading to a previously scheduled news conference Friday morning when they got word that he, teammate Oscar Sevilla and Ullrich’s longtime adviser Rudy Pevenage were implicated. “We kindly asked our bus

OAKLAND — Eric Byrnes scored the go-ahead run against his former club on a wild pitch in the seventh inning and Shawn Green drove in two runs in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ 6-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. After Byrnes scored, Johnny Estrada singled in a run and Green followed with his second double of the game for Arizona, which ended a three-game losing streak with only its fourth win in its last 24 games. Estrada went 3-for5 and scored two runs. Mark Ellis’ two-run double in the sixth pulled the A’s within 3-2, then Adam Melhuse followed with a tying single to center before the Diamondbacks’ offense responded against Brad Halsey (3-3). Melhuse doubled in a run in the eighth. Claudio Vargas (7-4) pitched six solid innings to end a four-start winless stretch — two losses followed by two no-decisions — and get his first victory since beating the Braves on June 3. He allowed three runs and six hits, struck out five and walked three. Jorge Julio pitched the ninth for his seventh save in eight chances. The Diamondbacks finished a terrible June on a positive note a night after being swept by the Seattle Mariners. Arizona started the month by taking four straight from the Braves in Atlanta, then went 4-20 the rest of the way. A’s designated hitter Frank Thomas and Ellis were activated from the disabled list earlier in the day and both were back in the starting line-



up. Thomas missed 13 games with a strained right quadriceps muscle, while Ellis had been sidelined since May 31 with a broken right thumb that forced him to miss 26 games. Ellis played four games for Sacramento this week in a rehab assignment. Ellis came into the game 1for-24 in his last seven games and 4-for-40 over his last 11. He drew a walk in the second and singled to left in the fourth before his double. The Diamondbacks got four straight hits off Kirk Saarloos to start the fourth, including an RBI single by Green that scored Luis Gonzalez after he led off with a double. Jeff DaVanon added a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0. Chad Tracy hit a run-scoring single in the second for Arizona, which is 2-11 in interleague play. The Diamondbacks beat the A’s in a series opener for the first time in five meetings. Saarloos, facing the Diamondbacks for the first time since 2003 while with the



Houston Astros, hadn’t allowed more than two earned runs in his previous three outings in June. He made his first start since June 17, when he had a no-decision against the Los Angeles Angels in a 5-4, 17-inning A’s win. Oakland finished a successful June as usual, going 18-8 for the month after a 12-17 May. A’s manager Ken Macha planned to give Nick Swisher a “mental” day off but needed to play him in left field and batted him second. Swisher struck out five times Thursday to match an Oakland record, the sixth time it’s happened. He went 0-for-4 with a walk. Byrnes, a former member of the A’s who’s from the Bay Area, received a warm ovation from the crowd before the game. Notes: Oakland 3B Eric Chavez missed the game with inflammation in his forearms. ... The A’s optioned INF Mike Rouse and OF Doug Clark to Triple-A Sacramento to make roster room for Thomas and Ellis.

Hingis, Blake are early New Warriors show Wimbledon exits different attitudes

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press



WIMBLEDON, England — Martina Hingis wiped away a tear as she walked off Centre Court, a match that seemed within her grasp suddenly gone. James Blake figured it would take until about dinner time to get over his loss to a much lower-ranked opponent. David Nalbandian was ready to watch the World Cup after his earliest exit at Wimbledon. There were plenty of opportunities to dissect how top players deal with disappointment at the All England Club on Friday. One upset after another shook up the draws, with 1997 Wimbledon champion Hingis, 2002 runner-up Nalbandian and No. 8-seeded Blake joined on the way out by 2004 U.S. Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova. “Somehow, at Wimbledon, you’re never safe,” Hingis said after wasting a 3-0 lead in the final set and losing to Ai Sugiyama of Japan 7-5, 36, 6-4. “When you’re out on the grass, it seems like you never know how the next point’s going to go.” Half a season into her comeback after three years away because of injuries, Hingis was playing at Wimbledon for the first time since 2001. And she impressed until Friday, dropping a total of seven games in the first two rounds. But the five-time major champion looked fatigued as the match went past the 1 1/2-



hour mark, double-faulting twice to get broken to 3-all in the final set, then slipping at the baseline on two points as she lost the next game. Hingis — at 25, she’s five years younger than Sugiyama — got more and more rattled as the match slipped away, complaining about line calls and slamming a ball off the court after one miscue, drawing a collective “Oooooh!” from the crowd. “She’s a tough cookie,” Hingis said. Blake played terrifically for 1 1/2 sets, then collapsed completely over the final two, betrayed by an ineffective serve and a career-long aversion for big matches that go the distance: The 6-4, 3-6, 46, 6-1, 6-0 loss to 53rd-ranked Max Mirnyi of Belarus made the American 0-9 in five-setters. So what’s the problem in the long matches? “I lose ’em, that’s the problem,” Blake said. “I don’t know what it is.” No. 5 Kuznetsova, the French Open runner-up three weeks ago, also blew a lead in her 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 loss to No. 27 Li Na, the first Chinese woman to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon. Even some top players who won had problems, including 2002 Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt, pushed to a fifth set by 102nd-ranked Lee Hyung-taik of South Korea in a second-round match suspended by darkness Thursday night. And three-time defending champion Roger Federer



endured what amounts to a stunning lapse for him, getting broken for the first time at the tournament — when he was serving for the match at 5-3 in the third set against Nicolas Mahut of France. So he’s not invincible, huh? Then again, Federer broke right back for a 6-3, 7-6 (2), 6-4 victory, his record 44th in a row on grass. “Lleyton Hewitt has been struggling, to my surprise, but he came through after all,” said Federer, whose next opponent, No. 13 Tomas Berdych, upset the Swiss star at the 2004 Olympics. “That’s what it’s about in this game, coming through no matter how.” Berdych outlasted No. 19 Tommy Haas 2-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7), 4-6, 8-6, improving to 8-0 in five-setters. Blake ruled out physical distress as an explanation for his fifth-set woes, although his serves and groundstrokes lacked pop down the stretch. When Mirnyi slipped while hitting a return but bounced up to hit a forehand winner on the fly to break to 3-0 in the fifth, Blake swatted a ball 30 feet in the air, then plopped down in his changeover chair and buried his face in a towel. The American put in only 43 percent of his first serves in the fourth set, 54 percent in the fifth, and paid dearly: Mirnyi repeatedly came to the net behind returns, helping him win 19 of 24 points on Blake’s second serves over the last two sets. Blake said he was dissapointed with himself.

ASTROGRAPH

By Bernice Bede Osol

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Material conditions tend to favor you, but financial opportunities might not be readily apparent on first viewing. Look beneath the surface for moneymaking adventures. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — To your credit, you can put in perspective those things that belong to others, which most people might



Sunday, July 2, 2006 Your prospects for success in an important endeavor look quite favorable in the year ahead, mostly because you’ll team up with someone who is either older or more experienced. It’ll be a good union.



ordinarily covet. You’ll be happy for them, knowing that yours will come to you in time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — An important objective is likely to be achieved through diligent effort all because you understand there is something worthwhile that you want. You’re apt to have to work at it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The main reason you’ll be successful when working on an artistic project is because you’ll know not to go beyond the dictates of good taste. Extra touches won’t be needed. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Because you’re not



prone to being a clockwatcher, substantial accomplishments can be made. You won’t worry about how long a project takes, or how it should be handled. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Because you want it to be so, you might have a tendency to place a loved one on a pedestal. Fortunately, however, the reality of your emotional relationship will keep you realistic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) — Most business affairs could turn out quite fortunate, not because you’re lucky but because of your positive outlook and practical reality. Artistic



objectives are especially favored. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) — You know better than most that it usually isn’t good to show partiality, but circumstances may dictate you do so, anyway. Favor an old, trusted friend over someone new. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — When you are selecting merchandise, such as clothes or food, you are likely to be more influenced by the quality of the product, not the price. Cheap buys aren’t always bargains. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’re especially appealing to members of



the opposite sex, and one who might make advances toward you may turn out to be someone who could be around for a long time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Be on the lookout for making a wise purchase, because there’s a strong possibility you could come across something that will appreciate in value far beyond its current price. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - You won’t let your wonderful sense of humor desert you, even under serious conditions. You may be firm, but you’ll considerably lighten the load by striving to ease its weight.

THE LEARNING CHALLENGER

by Robert Barnett DIRECTIONS: A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells. B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the letters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.

No reason to have unruly children in your home

Dear Annie: I am married to a man who has a grown daughter, “Stella,” with small children. I have two young children from my first marriage. The problem is that when Stella is at our place, her children are out of control and she does nothing to discipline them and neither does my husband. Stella doesn’t like me, and when I try to stop her children from tearing things up and having screaming tantrums, I run into her extreme disapproval. Sometimes she gets mad at me and stops bringing the children around. Then my husband gets upset. I won’t tolerate that type of behavior in children. My husband says it’s Stella’s problem and he doesn’t want to interfere. I have suggested that he visit the grandchildren at Stella’s place, but he wants me to go with. I love the kids, Annie, but I just can’t stand it when I’m the -- Wicked Stepmother Dear Stepmother: If Stella refuses to discipline her children, it is their loss. In your home,



ANNIE’S MAILBOX

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

try to put up with the noise, or set up a play space for them in a separate room or back yard. You also can take a stroll to the nearest park. If they are damaging your property, insist that your husband visit Stella elsewhere, and by all means, go with him. If they jump on her sofa and break her dishes, what do you care? Plaster a smile on your face and say nothing. Dear Annie: I work in a very small office. A co-worker has recently taken up gum chewing. This person is in his 60s and ought to have manners by now. He constantly snaps, crackles and pops bubbles, even while you are speaking directly to him. He spends much of his day on the phone,



and we can hear the popping noises even when he is providing customer service. He also chews with his mouth open and clips his nails at his desk. We’ve complained to management, but no one wants to offend this person. Please tell me what we can do, because someone will surely snap soon. -- Frazzled Dear Frazzled: Your co-worker may be trying to give up a bad habit (like smoking) and is using the gum as a substitute. First try the direct-but-friendly approach: “I’m sure you don’t realize how loud your gum chewing is. Any possibility you can tone it down?” If that doesn’t work, inform management that the customers can hear the gum popping and it could hurt business. If all else fails, try headphones, a fan or some other white-noise assistance to block out the sound. Dear Annie: I know exactly where “TurnedOff” is coming from. She said her boyfriend will not see a dentist. My husband is exactly



the same way. When we married, he had beautiful white teeth. Not anymore. He is so scared to go to the dentist that he starts shaking when I bring up the subject. I have refused to kiss him or make love until he sees the dentist, and so far we are going on five months. I talked to my dentist, and he said there is medication my husband can take to make the visit not only painless, but he will barely remember it. My husband refuses. Worse, he also chews tobacco, so his mouth is extra gross, and I worry about mouth cancer. What do I do? Take him to counseling? -- Going Through the Same Thing Dear Going Through: If your husband was simply fearful of dental care, that would be one hurdle. But he also chews tobacco, which solidifies the kissing distance between you, and he knows it. We think there is more going on here. If you can get your husband to come with you to a counselor, great. If not, go without him and see if you can figure out what is behind his oral intransigence.

had its pages glued together. In retaliation, Buzzard glued every item on Dozhier’s desk to the desktop. “It took two days to regenerate all that paperwork,” Dozhier said. But Dozhier also remembered Buzzard as a fine soldier and noncommissioned officer. “A noncommissioned officer has to know a little about a lot of things; Sgt. Buzzard knew a lot about a lot of things,” Dozhier said. Buzzard was a leader who



was always willing to work hard and help the other soldiers in his unit with their problems, Dozhier said. “He never could leave a problem unfixed,” Dozhier said. Buzzard was his squad’s gunner for its Bradley armored fighting vehicle, a difficult job, Dozhier said. After his training, Buzzard volunteered to travel to schools and teach other soldiers what he had learned. Brigadier General Joseph Schroedel praised Buzzard’s service to his country and said Buzzard will live on through that service and the freedom he fought to provide to people both around the world and at



home. “Today we are here to celebrate a life that lives on through his service and actions,” Schroedel said. “I hope you can remember what Jason’s service was about.” Schroedel presented Buzzard’s children, Michala and Tristan, and his niece and nephew with Coins of Excellence, an award usually given out by commanders to soldiers for displaying excellence in duty. More than 200 people packed The Eversole Mortuary for the service and even more lined both sides of Low Gap Road as the funeral procession traveled to the cemetery, led by MacMillan



and members of the American Legion’s Motor Escort Team. They were followed by mourners and officials from local fire departments and law enforcement. Members of the National Guard Honor Guard bore Buzzard’s casket to its final resting place and stood at attention during a 21-gun salute and while “Taps” was played. The flag that was draped over Buzzard’s casket was folded and presented to his parents, Jerry and Marilyn Buzzard, along with his medals. Buzzard was awarded the Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, the Army Commendation



Medal and a Combat Action Badge, which was awarded posthumously. A flag and medals were also presented to Buzzard’s wife, Michele Buzzard. Members of the Motor Escort Team also presented Michele with the Army flag that they carried while escorting Buzzard’s body into Ukiah early Wednesday morning.



Friends and family piled the top of the casket with white, yellow and red roses before it was slowly lowered into the ground. “I would like to remember him as a true hero, and as the best man I ever knew,” Neeson said.
