The Willits man who was involved in a stand-off with police after allegedly shooting his long-time girlfriend, died of an apparent self inflictedgunshot wound Sunday.

According to reports from the MendocinoCounty Sheriff’s Office, sheriff’s deputies calledfor the assistance of the Special Weapons andTactics unit Sunday afternoon after the suspect,Michael Huerto, 46, of Willits, took refuge in hishouse after allegedly shooting the victim MichelePatereau, 44, of Willits.

When the SWAT team made their entranceSunday they found Huerto dead of an apparentself-inflicted gunshot-wound.

Sheriff’s deputies, along with officers from theWillits Police Department responded to Huerto’shome at 2101 Valley Road at around 3 p.m.Sunday after an anonymous caller reported ashooting. When they arrived, officers foundPatereau, laying on the ground in front of Space42, she had suffered multiple gunshot wounds tothe head and chest.

Patereau was transported by air ambulance toUC Davis Medical Center for treatment.

Sheriff’s Capt. Kurt Smallcomb said the shoot-ing appears to have arisen from a domestic dis-pute. Huerto and Patereau had been in a common-law relationship for 20 years, Smallcomb said.

Volunteers and families filledthe warehouse at the UkiahCommunity Center Food BankMonday with holiday cheer asmore than 370 food basketswere given out during the holi-day food basket program, mak-ing it the Food Bank’s mostpopular charity bash to date.

“The demand this year has

been incredible,” said DavidYoussoupoff, UCC executivedirector, in response to theincreased need for the basketsthis year. “I’m just glad we cancontribute to the people inneed. Holidays are reallyimportant. When you have tochoose whether to pay yourutilities or feed your family;that’s where we come in.”

For the people receiving bas-kets, this year’s fare was yetanother well-rounded meal.Each basket came with rolls,stuffing, mashed potato mix, acan of fruit, pumpkin pie mix,cranberry sauce, cans of vegeta-bles, cappuccino mix, yams andeither a chicken or a turkey. Forfamilies of less than three eachbasket contained a whole chick-

“Because donations weredown this year things lookedrough at first,” Youssoupoffexplained. “But we were able tokeep things going with a gener-ous donation from our localguardian angels, Liz andChuck, who chose to maketheir gift anonymous.”

Youssoupoff’s selfless atti-tude was contagious at theFood Bank as the volunteerslaughed and smiled throughoutthe day.

Iraq attacksdecline overall

WASHINGTON (AP) —Despite a decline in violencein Iraq, northern Iraq hasbecome more violent thanother regions as al-Qaida andother militants move there toavoid coalition operationselsewhere, the region’s topU.S. commander saidMonday. Army Maj. Gen.Mark P. Hertling said al-Qaida cells still operate in allthe key cities in the north.

“What you’re seeing is theenemy shifting,” Hertling toldPentagon reporters in a videoconference from outside Tikritin northern Iraq.

Hertling said militants havebeen pushed east to his areafrom Anbar by the so-calledAwakening movement, inwhich local tribes have alliedwith the coalition against al-

Qaida. Others have beenpushed north to his area fromthe Baghdad region, wherethis year’s U.S. troops escala-tion has made more opera-tions possible.

“The attacks are still muchhigher than I would like herein the north, but they are con-tinuing to decrease in num-bers and scale of attacks,” hesaid. Hertling said 1,830 road-side bombs were placed in hisregion in June, compared with900 last month.

The U.S. military saysoverall attacks in Iraq havefallen 55 percent since nearly30,000 additional Americantroops arrived in Iraq by June.

TUESDAY, NOV. 20, 2007 – 3


“May you live in fascinatingtimes” is an old curse; the logicbeing if one chronicles history,“fascinating times” were jam-packed with upheaval. Turbulent,troublesome, frightening, epoch-making periods; anyone experi-encing them would be upset,frightened, and anxious.

I point this out because, withthe way the world is, one mightmake a case that we are current-ly experiencing “fascinatingtimes,” and that future historianswill find the initial piece of the21st century to be chock-full oftumult, worthy of study for gen-erations yet to come. For them,that may be well and good, yetfor us in the present, I don’tthink I stand alone when I praywe figure out soon how to getalong a little better.

Giving thanks in such chaotictimes is not simple. It feels diffi-cult and trivial to find positiveswhen all around seems urgent.However, to do so, requires arefocus on what one has, ratherthan a sadness of the way it isnot. Saying “Thank you,” light-ens the heart, and loosens life’sburdens -- if only for a moment,making living worthwhile. Now,more than ever, it is essential toexpress gratitude for what onehas. We are still blessed in manyways.

I can be thankful to sit at atable with family and friends,sharing food, conversation, andstories. We will laugh at wherewe have been, even if we dis-agree about where we are head-ed. We are not a perfect familyunit; but we are what we are. Igive thanks, and send a prayer tothose less well off.

I am grateful to live where Ido. Sure, I complain aboutexcess rain and a hidden sun. Ilament the dreary fog in themorning, and the wind in theafternoon. Yet, on the grand per-spective, this patch of MotherEarth is no less than stunning.Endless forests of trees onmajestic mountains caress theheavens; rushing, raging, riverscut through strong stone canyonsin their never ending race tobecome part of a breathtakingvista of world’s greatest ocean. Ireside in a postcard photograph;is that cool or what?

Contrary to how I was raised,I taught my children, “Do whatyou love, the money will fol-low.” Although it took me fourdecades to heed my own advice,it has worked out and I amuplifted by what I do. While oth-ers never leave a squalid village,and have no hope, I have trav-eled far, seen much, and spokento many. I am again grateful.

I am not alone, residing in acommunity, a true enclave ofpeople who greet me with hand-shakes and “hellos.” We still askabout each other’s children. Weshare personal successes and set-backs. I have no interest in liv-ing elsewhere; I am gratified tobe where I am.

My story is different thanyours; each of us travels his ownpath. However, it is my purestintent that in my appreciation, Ikindle within you a smile or joy-ful thought that you will sharewith others, lightening your dayand theirs.

Saying thank you might notchange a life. However, it surewon’t hurt.

Striving for ImperfectionBy Scott Marcus

Giving thanksin tough times

The Daily JournalThe Mendocino County Health

and Human Services Agency’s,Public Health Branch, warns individ-uals who are working or playing out-doors in the fall and winter months tobe on the alert for ticks that maycarry bacteria that cause Lyme dis-ease and other tick-borne illnesses.

Most people associate ticks withsummer outdoor activities, adultwestern black-legged ticks are morelikely to be encountered in late falland winter. Adult ticks are abundantthroughout the cooler monthsbetween late October and March.

Ticks are small, insect-like crea-tures most often found in naturallyvegetated areas. There are many dif-ferent kinds of ticks in California, butonly the western black-legged ticktransmits Lyme disease. This red-dish- brown tick is found in mostCalifornia counties, but is more com-mon in the humid northwesterncoastal areas and the western slope ofthe northern Sierra Nevada.

Ticks can be found in tall grassand brush in urban, suburban andrural settings. Adult ticks climb to thetips of vegetation, often alongsidetrails or paths, and wait for a host tobrush against them. They attach toanimals and humans and feed bysticking their mouthparts into theskin and sucking blood for up to sev-eral days. Lyme and other tick-bornediseases, including Rocky Mountainspotted fever, anaplasmosis, ehrli-chiosis and babesiosis, are transmit-ted while the tick is attached andfeeding.

Those who find a tick shouldremove it with tweezers by graspingit close to the skin and applying asteady upward pressure to make surethe entire tick is pulled free. Do notuse insecticides, lighted matches,gasoline, petroleum jelly or liquidsoaps to remove ticks, as these tech-niques may cause injury and are inef-fective. After the tick is removed,individuals should wash their handsand apply antiseptic to the affectedarea. Pets should be regularlychecked for ticks.

Symptoms of Lyme disease caninclude a spreading rash usuallyaccompanied by flu-like symptoms,such as fever and body aches. Painfulredness that occurs less than 24 hoursafter a tick bite and does not spread ismore likely to be a reaction to thetick’s saliva. Lyme disease is treatedwith antibiotics, and most patientsrecover completely without compli-cations if treated early during thecourse of the infection. However, insome people, if left untreated, symp-toms can progress into arthritis ornervous system disorders.

The following practices canreduce the chance of being bitten byticks:

• Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts. Tuck pant legs into

boots or socks and tuck shirts intopants.

• Wear light-colored clothing soticks can be easily seen.

• Apply a repellent, such as DEET,registered for use against ticks.Always follow directions on the con-tainer and be careful when applyingto children. Before entering tickhabitat, permethrin spray may beapplied to clothing to kill ticks.

• Stay in the middle of the trail.Avoid trail margins, brush and grassyareas.

• Inspect yourself frequently forticks while in tick habitats. Once outof tick habitat, thoroughly checkyour entire body for ticks up to threedays after being in tick areas. Parentsshould examine their children, espe-

cially on the scalp, hairline and skinfolds.

Individuals should consult theirphysician immediately if symptomssimilar to those described for Lymedisease develop within one to severalweeks after being bitten by a tick. Ifyou believe you may have been bit-ten by a tick which may carry Lymedisease place the tick in a sealed con-tainer such as a jar or a sealable bag-gie along with a damp paper towel sothe tick does not dry up and contactthe Public Health Branch at 472-2600.

Additional information on Lymedisease and other tick-borne diseasesis available on the CaliforniaDepartment of Public Health Website at http://www.cdph.ca.gov.

When outdoors, keep an eye out for ticks

By ANTHONY MORRISSpecial for the Journal

A special Lyme disease clinic is being held atthe Mendocino County Acupuncture Clinic ofAnthony Morris in Ukiah.

The clinic is being conducted by bay area Lymeexpert Rick Bierman, L.Ac, in response to the everincreasing problem of Lyme and related infectionsin Mendocino County. Bierman has been treatingLyme disease since 2001. He has a private practicein Oakland California and was a keynote speaker atthe Lyme conference in Willits in April 2007. Theclinic will address the various symptoms associatedwith Lyme disease using natural therapies includingChinese herbs, acupuncture, western herbs, supple-ments and energetic therapies.

Some early symptoms include fever, muscle andjoint aches, fatigue, headache and a severe stiffneck. The “bull’s eye” rash only occurs in about 50percent of cases. Later symptoms may include neu-rological problems such as Bell’s palsy (a weaknessin facial muscles caused by nerve injury), Carditis(an inflammation of the heart muscle that can causeirregular heart rhythms with fainting or dizziness).

Months to years after Lyme disease affects theheart, changes can be seen on an EKG, even whenthere are no symptoms. Lyme disease also cancause arthritis, either a chronic arthritis that com-monly affects one knee or episodes of intermittentswelling in several joints, called migratory arthritis.In later stages of Lyme disease, patients can experi-ence problems with memory, concentration andcognitive disorders.

Lyme disease is a growing epidemic in theUnited States and is especially prevalent in thecoastal regions. A study conducted a few years agoby UC Berkeley found that between 10 and 15 per-cent of all deer ticks in Mendocino County wereinfected with the spirochete that causes Lyme dis-ease. The Lyme spirochete has been isolated fromsaliva as well as semen, which suggests the diseasemay be spread through oral or sexual transmission.It has also been shown that transmission can occurwith other blood borne insects, such as mosquitoes,deer flies, horse flies, etc.

Lyme disease symptoms mimic the symptoms of360 other diseases which has led to frequent misdi-agnosis. It is commonly misdiagnosed as

Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, MS, ALS, rheuma-toid and juvenile arthritis, autism, Parkinson’s,Alzheimer’s and other chronic inflammatory dis-eases of unknown origin.

It is common for a person to go from doctor todoctor for years without receiving a clear diagnosis,only to later discover that the cause of their healthproblems is Lyme disease or one of the associatedco-infections.

From the desk of ....

It’s one of the toughest and most divisive issues fac-ing the American people. And how we respond willhave a profound impact on future generations. Yetmany elected officials refuse to even talk about it.President Bush proposed a plan to deal with the issuebut couldn’t even get members of his own party to goalong. Congress blew its shot at reform in a flurry ofdistortions, sound bites and fear-mongering. And mostof the presidential candidates won’t go anywhere nearthe subject, perhaps sensing that it could cost themvotes.

The issue, of course, is Social Security reform. Andyou probably thought I was talking about immigration.

But the immigration debate is minor league com-pared to the rough and tumble political environmentsurrounding America’s most beloved entitlement pro-gram. Just ask Congress. As tough as immigrationreform turned out to be, it was assumed that fixingSocial Security would be even tougher.

Part of the reason is that people can’t even agreethat there’s a problem, let alone how to fix it. There arethose who are convinced that, because of the impend-ing retirement of more than 78 million baby boomers,Social Security will be on the road to insolvency asearly as 2016 -- the point at which more money will begoing out in benefits than coming in from payrolltaxes. Others agree that there is a shortfall but they’remore optimistic about when the dam breaks, insistingthat the system will have enough money to pay all ben-efits until 2038. Then there’s the last group, whichinsists there is nothing to worry about.

Sure. But if the issue isn’t resolved, guess who’llfoot the bill? Boomers’ kids and grandkids.

Despite the myth that there is a kind of lockboxwhere the government stashes the money workers payin Social Security taxes until they retire, that is nothow things work.

Social Security is a huge transfer of wealth whereevery generation pays for the one before it. Seventy-eight million baby boomers had no problem paying thebenefits that went to the World War II generationbecause, well, there are 78 million of them. Imaginethe burden on younger workers -- those who are nowin their teens, 20s and 30s -- who are expected to holdup their end of the bargain and keep millions of theboomers in a comfy retirement.

In 1946, the cost of supporting one retiree wasspread among 42 workers. Now, we’re rapidlyapproaching the point where the number of workerswho support each retiree will be down to two. And, ofcourse, that means more strain on those workers in theform of higher taxes.

Some tax hikes on future workers might beinevitable, but politicians would be wise to exploreother options before traveling that route.

Someone should have told that to Fred Thompson,who raised the tax issue when he became the first pres-idential candidate in either party in this election to talkabout saving Social Security. Front-runners RudyGiuliani and Hillary Clinton have run away from theissue and refuse to lay out specific plans. They speakonly in generalities, perhaps because they fear incur-ring the wrath of AARP, the lobby that advocates forsenior citizens and resists any tinkering with SocialSecurity.

Of course, in politics, there can be a price to beingspecific. There are better ideas out there than raisingtaxes -- such as raising the retirement age to 70,“means testing” the program so that anyone whosepersonal net worth is in the millions forfeits their ben-efits, creating personal retirement accounts, and slow-ing the rate at which benefits grow by tying them toinflation instead of wages. That last option did find itsway into Thompson’s plan.

Then there is Barack Obama, who said recently thathe would push for higher Social Security income byraising the cap on payroll taxes. Currently, the first$97,500 of a person’s annual income is taxed. Obamasaid that he is against pushing back the retirement ageor cutting benefits.

We can argue the details. But at least Thompson andObama had the guts to put something on the table. Itdoesn’t reflect well on their opponents, who -- on thisissue -- seem just as comfortable hiding under thetable.

Ruben Navarrette’s writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Wants to come home and make changes

To the Editor:I have never loved a town more, or

missed what I have left than the Valley thatI was born and raised in. I come home onleave every six months or so and everytime I come back it gets harder and harderto leave.

It’s 01:52 and I’m sitting at my laptopreading articles and using your multimediaplayer here on the website to see what ihave missed out on. I wont lie I shed a fewtears when I saw the memorial to DelbertPhelps and the tribute to the Marines andSailors of the Ukiah area.

I love Ukiah and Mendocino countywith all my heart but I’m troubled. Everytime I come home I see or hear aboutsomeone that I know running into somekind of trouble with drugs or having anunfortunate accident and passing away.When I was in high school I saw it every-day, little sales here and there; kids thateveryone knew were involved in gangactivity gathering together and making theirlittle plots to get even with the guys on theother side of the “Tri” up at the Ukiah highschool. I watched as a friend of mine wasstabbed several times 20 yards from whereI was standing. I heard it everyday while Iwas in high school: “We don’t have a gangproblem, they’re just kids trying to play bigand it won’t go anywhere.” Then one day itdid, but not much changed. In fact don’trecall any really big changes coming fromthat entire incident and it angered me.

Now when I come home on leave I lookfor the bad things that are happening, Idon’t even look for the good, the good usu-ally comes a couple of days later after I getdone with the “Bad News” part of myvacation.

I wonder, what could I do to stop this,what could I do to make this a place that Ilove and want to raise my kids, a saferplace to live and make a fourth generationof my family. Then it came to me. Comehome straight out of the Marine corps anduse my GI bill. No, not to go to college likeI had hoped, not to go to Chico or Davisand get four good years of college no nono... I’m going to use my Montgomery GIBill to enlist in the ranks of the MendocinoCounty Sheriff’s Dept. For I am sick andtired of watching this fine county degradeand fall into this downward spiral that I seewhenever I come home. What was it a fewmonths back a high speed chase throughUkiah with out of town drug dealers thatassaulted a woman and bound her up sothat they could get into her and herboyfriends stash? What the heck, thatshouldn’t happen here, not where I grewup. I’m not an angel by any means; I had tograduate from South Valley High because Icouldn’t keep my own head in the gamewith my school work and when I got thereI thought I was in hell I had two realfriends while I was there because theyweren’t part of a gang nor were theyaddicts. I watched kids with numerous drugoffenses not pot but real drugs, and assaultcharges get babied and have their handsheld as they were brought through theschool system there, when they neededtough love and an environment that wasone step lower that boot camp so that theywould actually respect those that wereteaching them instead of smiling at theteacher and then talking about how theywere gonna kill that teacher if they everseen them out on the street or just standingup and cursing them straight to the face.

What I’m trying to get at is this: If a per-son is a convicted juvenile or adult drugdealer or your known to be involved withgang activity the UPD has to make itimpossible for gangs to get together in pub-lic. Basically restrict the number of gangaffiliates, members, and dealers that camebe in one public place at one time thatincludes public schools. The only way tobreak down morale is to separate the lead-ers from the soldiers and make it so that all

contact in between is cut off. That’s howyou demoralize, break down and crush allopposition. I know for a fact that theSheriff’s Department has a special gangunit that has files on all known gang mem-bers in the county or at least they should. Ifnot they’re wrong.

I’m only one person though I don’t evenknow if what I’m saying is legal. I hope itis though, or it should be made legal.Whatever happens though, the day that Iget out of the corps I’m coming home witha vengeance, stronger than anyone has everseen in Mendocino County. If you wouldlike to hear anything else I have to say feelfree to e-mail [email protected].

We can do it, togetherTo the Editor:The world we live in is complex. The

choices we make are simple. If we saygood things, good things happen. If we saybad things and talk of war or terror, badthings may happen. We must protect theenvironment. We must protect the people.We must protect government. We must pro-tect business.

I voted for Arnold twice as governor ofCalifornia because I believe that great menwilling to sacrifice for others, cannot fail. Iwould vote for Hillary because I believeuniversal health care for all to be one of themost important issues. I would vote forWhoopi or Oprah, because any greatwoman willing to sacrifice for others, can-not fail. If we do the right thing, for theright reasons, we cannot fail.

The choices for health care are simple.We can have health care, health insurance,or health care and health insurance. Ourhealth care can be for profit, or not-for-profit. We could build public hospitals onecity at a time for all people to have accessto free basic medical care. America was notbuilt in a day. It will take time to build auniversal health care system.

The choices for housing are simple.Everyone needs a home. We can providehousing for profit, or, not-for-profit. If wework together we could give homes toneedy families and individuals free andclear of mortgage(s).

One person does make a difference, butworking together over time, we built anation.

The elephant in the room

Ruben Navarrette Jr. is a columnist and edi-torial board member of The San DiegoUnion-Tribune.

In our opinion

There’s been a lot of bad news out therein the past week. Shootings, highway acci-dents and drug arrests.

It seems like all of a sudden our small val-ley has become unhinged in some way.

What perhaps disturbs us most becausewe, as citizens, may be to blame for it, iswhat is also keeping our local law enforce-ment officers on the alert: increasing drugsand the violence they bring.

The marijuana industry is making thisvalley and its environs a dangerous andunhealthy place to live. Pot growing hasindeed become an industry here and it isbringing bad people armed with weaponsand greed to live among us.

We are nowhere near legalizing marijua-na in this nation so all the arguments aboutthat being our answer are irrelevant at themoment. People who really are medicalmarijuana patients should be the ones stand-ing up arguing for strict limitations on grow-ing and helping local government providefree pot from government-controlledsources.

Instead we have an out-of-control pottrade which is abetting our out-of-control

methamphetamine problem. Pot growers arenow trading their weed for meth. Localpolice are telling us they’re seeing more andmore meth right here in town.

For years, Mendocino County has beendescribed by travel magazines and freelancewriters from out of town as a “harmlesshamlet full of pot-smoking ex-hippies.”

Not any more. What we are now is acounty full of illegal drug runners with lotsof cash to buy up property, use up resourcesand make a mockery of the good intentionswe had when we said smoking pot for yourhealth was OK.

We think it’s time for Mendocino Countyresidents to say we’ve had enough. We wantsupervisors who will stand up to the potgrowers and create strict limits on growing.We want our police and sheriff’s depart-ments to have the power and the tools to goafter the vast majority of pot growers whoare simply drug dealers in the guise of “care-givers.”

We don’t want our community to be seenas the place where you can get away withanything. Because that’s where we seem tobe headed.

It’s getting scary out there

Rams defenders #21 Oshiomogho Atogwe, #25 Corey Chavous and #24 Ron Bartell not onlykeep 49er receiver Vernon Davis out of the end zone, but strip him of the ball during the last playof their game Sunday, Nov. 18, 2007, at Monster Park in San Franciso, Calif. The Rams won thegame 13-9.

By DANIEL BROWNSan Jose Mercury News

Oshiomogho Atogwe kept a tighthold on his game-clinching inter-ception, clutching it tightly all theway back to the St. Louis Ramslocker room. The ball was headedfor his personal hall of fame.

“I keep all my interceptions,”Atogwe said. “I want to look backon them when I'm old and gray.”

This one would be tough to for-get, whether he kept the ball or not.The former Stanford star snagged apass just in front of the end zone tostifle the 49ers’ last gasp and pre-serve a 13-9 victory at CandlestickPoint.

It was the final play of the game.Trent Dilfer tried a 21-yard pass forDarrell Jackson, but the Rams’cover-2 defense had Atogwepatrolling a zone over the middle ofthe field.

The free safety caught the ballwith the soft hands of a receiver andreturned it 8 yards before wiselyhitting the turf with no time left onthe clock.

“I train myself so that when theball is in the air, it's mine,” Atogwesaid. “I'm like a receiver going afterit. It's what I do.”

Atogwe's souvenir collectionkeeps growing. This was his sev-

enth interception since the Ramschose him in the third round of the2005 draft, one pick after the 49ersselected running back Frank Gore.

Atogwe (pronounced uh-TOG-way) and the rest of the defensehelped bail out a St. Louis offensethat sputtered throughout. In fact,the Rams did the unthinkable: Theywere outgained by the 49ers, 244yards to 207. It marked the firsttime this season the 49ers had moreyards than the opponent.

“Those were some pretty toughyards,” marveled Rams runningback Steven Jackson.

The Rams had 102 yards rushingbut just 10 in the second half. In all,St. Louis had just two first downsand 38 yards after halftime.

Along the way, quarterbackMarc Bulger endured six sacks andmanaged no passing play longerthan 17 yards. Moving the ballproved so tough that Coach ScottLinehan ultimately decided to goconservative, figuring that hisdefense would have to win thegame.

The Rams played it close to the

vest and avoided a turnover for sec-ond game in a row. Not coinciden-tally, both of those games are victo-ries.

“You appreciate it more whenyou start out 0-8,” Bulger said,reflecting on the Rams” slow startthat included a loss to the 49ers inWeek2.

This win got a little dicey as theSt. Louis defense surrendered 143yards on the 49ers’ final three pos-sessions. But the Rams stopped the49ers on the only play that mat-tered, thanks to Atogwe.

His sister was in the crowd, aswell as several friends from hisStanford days. After too many ques-tions, he playfully chided reportersfor preventing him from going tosee his fan club.

Others were happy to do the talk-ing for him.

“I think he's the best young safe-ty in the league,” said Rams strongsafety Corey Chavous, who is in his11th season. “He's a spectacularball-hawk already. And to watchhow hard he works at his craft is ablessing for an older guy like me.”

Atogwe cherishes victory‘I thinkhe’s the best young safety in the league. He’sa spectacular ball-hawk already.’

An ESPN report Sundaysaid rookie quarterbackJaMarcus Russell likely willstart for the Raiders againstthe Denver Broncos on Dec.2.

That is, the report said, aslong as Daunte Culpepperdoesn't play so well that itdoesn't make sense to make aswitch. The report cited anunnamed league source. TwoRaiders front office memberssaid nothing has been decidedas of now.

“That's a prematurereport,” Raiders coach LaneKiffin said. “It's news to me,at least.”

If the ESPN report is accu-rate, Russell would get asmany as five games to displayhis wares. He certainly won'thave any easy games. TheRaiders play the Broncos,Green Bay Packers,Indianapolis Colts,Jacksonville Jaguars and SanDiego Chargers in their finalfive games.

Former Chicago Bearscoach and current ESPN stu-

dio analyst Mike Ditka saidSunday that Kiffin shouldn'twait any longer to playRussell.

“They drafted JaMarcusRussell No. 1 and they havenot even played him onedown,” Ditka said beforeSunday's games. “They don'teven have a package for him.”

Sitting Russell isn't benefit-ing the Raiders or Russell,Ditka said.

“That old theory that peo-ple give you, you've got to sitand watch,” Ditka said. “Youknow what the difference is

between sitting and watching?You learn to sit and you learnto watch. You don't learn howto play quarterback. Get him

out on the field; let him earnhis money. It's the only chance

Russell called on to start for Culpepper‘That old theory that people give you, ‘you’vegot to sit and watch.’You know what the dif-ference is between sitting and watching?

SAN FRANCISCO — Home run kingBarry Bonds is the latest in a string ofhigh-profile defendants to face perjuryand obstruction charges — crimes thatoften are difficult to prosecute and resultin little, if any, prison time.

Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Vice PresidentDick Cheney’s former chief of staff, wassentenced to 2 1/2 years for lying to agrand jury, and Martha Stewart spent five

months in prison andfive months of homeconfinement for herobstruction of justiceconviction.

The former SanFrancisco Giants sluggerfaces a maximum of fiveyears on each of his fourperjury charges and 10years for one obstructioncharge for allegedlylying about his steroiduse during a 2003appearance before a

grand jury. But defense attorneys and former pros-

ecutors who have handled perjury casessaid Bonds likely would serve only abouta year in prison if a jury convicts him.

“If he’s convicted, he will go toprison,” said Steve Chapman, the lawyerwho represented basketball star ChrisWebber when he was charged with lyingto a federal grand jury in 2002.

Webber was charged with lying aboutaccepting money from a booster whileplaying basketball at the University ofMichigan.

Webber pleaded guilty to a lessercharge and paid a fine but did no jail time.

Chapman said judges almost alwaysfollow federal sentencing guidelines, atable of suggested prison terms that takepast criminal behavior and other factorsinto account.

Since Bonds has had no previous trou-ble with the law, Chapman said Bondslikely would be sentenced to about a year.

Chapman and other lawyers saidBonds could negotiate an even less severesentence if he agrees to plead guilty ratherthan force the government to go throughthe time and expense of a trial.

Chapman also said Bonds and his legalteam also appear to face another hurdlebecause of the slugger’s notoriouslyprickly personality, which could workagainst him in front of a jury.

“Chris Webber was a really nice guy,and that worked to his benefit,” Chapmansaid.

Bonds was charged Thursday forallegedly lying when in his testimonybefore a grand jury investigating a perfor-mance-enhancing drug ring centered atthe Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative,or BALCO.

Two other athletes and a track coach

Perjurytough toprove, withshortsentences

By LARRY LAGEAP Sports Writer

ANN ARBOR, Mich. —Lloyd Carr alternately chokedup and chuckled for nearly 40minutes Monday, as heannounced his 13th season asMichigan football coach willbe his last.

“I wanted to be able to walkout of here knowing that to thevery last minute, I did my jobto the best of my ability,” Carrsaid with watery eyes. “And Iknow I’ll be able to do that.”

The best of Carr’s abilitybrought Michigan a national

title and five Big Ten champi-onships.

It also included an unsight-ly loss to Appalachian State toopen this season and a fourthconsecutive defeat and sixthin seven years to Jim Tresseland Ohio State to close it.

Many of those memorieswere very close to the surfaceat Monday’s news conferenceduring which the public thatrarely got to see his true per-sonality also learned what hadhappened behind closed doorsthe previous day when Carrbroke the news to his playersand staff.

“I cried more tears than Iknew I had,” said Carr, whospent 28 seasons on theMichigan coaching staff.“And I’ve never laughed sohard in my life because therewere so many memories.”

Carr will coach theWolverines in their bowlgame, likely to be either theAlamo Bowl in San Antonioor the Outback Bowl inTampa, Fla. Following thebowl game he will become anassociate athletic director.

The retirement announce-ment surprised no one.

Last winter, Carr had his

contract reworked to pave theway for this to be his last sea-son and later made sure theschool gave his assistantsunprecedented two-year deals.

The only unknown waswhen the 62-year-old Carrwould choose to step awayfrom the sideline: Monday, ashe did, or after the bowl game.

“My timing is based on onething, what is best forMichigan football,” he said.“There are no other motives.

“To do it after a bowl gamewould have been absolutelyridiculous.”

The departure opens a job

at the nation’s winningestfootball program and the tim-ing of it might make thingsuncomfortable for top-rankedLSU and coach Les Miles.

Miles seems to be at the topof the list in Ann Arbor. Heplayed for Bo Schembechlerat Michigan, where he met hiswife and later became anassistant under Schembechler.

On Monday in BatonRouge, La., though, Milesinsisted he’s not looking for ajob and said Michigan has notcalled him.

you got to get a win.”Kiffin made it clear after

Sunday's game that Culpepperis the starter for this Sunday'sgame against the Kansas CityChiefs.

“I'm going to be readywhenever my number iscalled,” Culpepper said. “I'mgoing to prepare regardless, totry and go out and get a victo-ry. Right now, I'm desperate,this team is desperate, for awin. We've got to do whateverit takes.”

The longer it went, themore frustrated the Raidersbecame. Time after time,game after game, the Raidersdefense and special teamsfailed to recover a fumble.

Coach Lane Kiffin said hewas at a loss for words.Defensive coordinator RobRyan said it was only a matterof time. The players preachedpatience.

Finally, Sunday against theMinnesota Vikings, the flood-gates opened and the looseballs came spewing forth. Andthey didn't stop until theRaiders had recovered fourfumbles, three by the defense.

The nine-game droughtended when outside line-backer Robert Thomasstripped Vikings wide receiverBobby Wade midway throughthe first quarter. Middle line-backer Kirk Morrisonpounced on the ball at theVikings 46-yard line.

The Raiders parlayed thethree turnovers into threeSebastian Janikowski fieldgoals.

The Raiders also recovereda fumble by Vikings line-backer Chad Greenway at theend of an interception returnlate in the game. They enteredthe game as the only team inthe league without a recoveryof an opponent's fumble.

Janikowski accounted for13 of Oakland's 19 first-halfpoints with four field goalsand an extra point. He alsoscored their only three points

of the second half with hisfifth field goal in as manyattempts.He now has convert-ed eight straight field goalattempts and 17 of 19 since an0-of-3 start. His only missesduring his current run camefrom 52 and 64 yards. Both hitoff one an upright.

Running back LaMontJordan's fall from grace is infull free-fall mode on theheels of his being deactivatedfor Sunday's game.

Kiffin inserted JustinFargas into the starting lineupthree games ago and nowappears fully committed toFargas the rest of the way.

Jordan was healthy enoughto play Sunday, Kiffin said.The decision to sidelineJordan came as a result of aninjury to special teams playerIsaiah Ekejiuba on Friday andthe need to activate SamWilliams to fill the void.

“They have to sit some-body out,” Jordan said. “Thisweek, I was the guy.”

Kiffin opted for Fargas,Dominic Rhodes, JustinGriffith and Oren O'Nealahead of Jordan.

“It was just a (coach's)decision,” Kiffin said. “Wehad to pull up a special teamsguy at the last minute, so wedressed (only) four runningbacks.”

Jordan's Raiders tenureseems on the verge of comingto an end after three seasons.He is due to make $4.7 millionin base salary next season.

That's not the kind of money ateam pays for a backup run-ning back or someone deemednot talented enough to start fora 2-7 team.

Fargas is an unrestrictedfree agent at season's end. It'sapparent that Kiffin wants totake a long look at Fargas as ameans of seeing whether he isworthy of being given a con-tract extension.

“Like I was told, I'm in theposition I'm in because Ihaven't been producing,”Jordan said. “I'm keeping mymouth shut, playing the best Ican and just go to work eachday.”

Ekejiuba (ankle), defensivetackle Josh Shaw, quarterbackJosh McCown (thigh) andbackup center Jake Grove(knee) also were deactivated.Russell was the team's No. 3quarterback.

Raiders cornerbackNnamdi Asomugha recordedhis first interception this sea-son on a pass for Vikings widereceiver Sidney Rice in theend zone. Asomugha hadeight picks last season.

Asomugha left the gameearly in the third quarter afterhe absorbed a blow to thehead at the hands of runningback Chester Taylor on a 29-yard run. Asomugha washelped from the field afterreceiving attention from train-ers from both teams. “That'sthe worst headache I've everhad in my life,” Asomughasaid. He added that he did not

sustain a concussion and wastold he could have returned tothe game, if needed.

Paul McQuistan replacedCornell Green at right offen-sive tackle for the Raiders latein the second quarter. Greensustained a right ankle injury.

“It was his ankle and didn'tlook good,” Kiffin said, “so,potentially, we could be with-out Cornell for a while.”Green was wearing a protec-tive boot after the game anddeclined comment. … Raidersdefensive end Chris Clemonsrecorded two sacks and forceda fumble. … Williams (shoul-der) played for the first timesince Oakland's fourth gameof the season, Sept. 30. Evenso, Thomas started atWilliams’ outside linebackerspot.

JaMarcus Russell is due to take over as quarterbackfor Dante Culpepper.

also have been indicted forallegedly lying to the samegrand jury investigatingBALCO.

Marion Jones, a three-timeOlympic gold medalist, plead-ed guilty in October and facesa maximum of six months inprison when she is sentencedin January.

Track coach TrevorGraham and former Olympicbicyclist Tammy Thomas alsohave been charged with per-jury and both have pleadednot guilty.

Even though Bonds faces arelatively modest prison sen-tence, criminal law expertsstill say a conviction is farfrom certain.

For starters, to win a per-jury case, prosecutors have toshow that the lie materiallyaffected the outcome of aninvestigation.

U.S. District Court JudgeSusan Illston, who is expectedto be assigned the Bonds casebecause she has handled theother BALCO-related casessaid during a recent hearingthat high standard protects

harmless fabrications, such asa woman lying under oathabout her age, from prosecu-tion.

Bonds’ attorney MichaelRains said he will aggressive-ly attack the credibility of thegovernment’s witnesses,including Bonds’ former mis-tress Kimberly Bell.

Bell testified to a grandjury in 22005 that Bonds toldher he began using steroidsafter Mark McGwire set thesingle season home run markthat Bonds shattered in 2001.

Rains has previously saidthat Bell is a scorned loverwho believes Bonds owes hermoney, which means she hasmotivation to lie about whatBonds said about steroids.

Rains didn’t return a tele-phone call Monday.

But in an outgoing messageon his voicemail, the PleasantHill attorney denied an ESPNreport that Bonds was plan-ning to turn himself inMonday for fingerprintingand to have his mug shottaken.

That process is expected to

occur after Bonds makes hisfirst appearance in federalcourt on Dec. 7.

According theAdministrative Office of theCourts, perjury charges areamong the rarest of criminalcases prosecuted in federalcourt and among the toughestto win a conviction.

The number of peoplecharged with perjury hasdropped from 142 in 2002 tojust 62 last year, according theAOC. Some 87,238 peoplewere charged with a crime infederal court last year.

Perjury cases had a convic-tion rate of 86 percent lastyear, compared to a 90 percentconviction rate for all crimescharged.

Obstruction of chargesfared even worse, netting a 79percent conviction rate lastyear.

“They are tough cases toprosecute because very oftenit turn into he said, she said,”said defense attorney BradSimon.

The U.S. attorney’s officein San Francisco declinedcomment Monday.

“I love LSU,” he said.Even though Miles appears

in a great situation leading theTigers in a talent-rich area, theschool was concerned enoughabout him bolting forMichigan that it put a specificclause in his contract to makeit an expensive move.

In the “termination bycoach” section of his deal,Michigan is the only otherschool mentioned.

It states that Miles will notseek or accept employment asMichigan’s coach.

If Miles does leave LSU tocoach the Wolverines, he mustpay LSU $1.25 million.

Gerry DiNardo was in asimilar situation when he wascoaching at LSU and his almamater contacted him about itsopening a decade ago.

“I told Notre Dame that Ididn’t want to talk until theseason was over, but eachcoach is different in how theyhandle that,” said DiNardo,who was in Ann Arbor work-ing for the Big Ten Network.“My advice to Les Mileswould be to learn from theNick Saban saga and to either

tell the truth or don’t say any-thing.”

Saban said he had no inter-est in the Alabama job when itbecame vacant nearly a yearago while he was coaching theMiami Dolphins, thendeclined comment the nextmonth.

After five weeks of denialsand two days of deliberation,Saban bolted to coach theCrimson Tide.

Other candidates to replaceCarr might include KirkFerentz of Iowa, whereMichigan president Mary SueColeman was before comingto Ann Arbor, and major col-lege coaches with Midwestties such as Oklahoma’s BobStoops, a native ofYoungstown, Ohio.

An Iowa spokesman saidMonday that Ferentz wouldnot comment, and Stoops dis-missed the thought after theSooners’ practice Mondaynight.

“That’s so foolish,” Stoopssaid. “I’ve got nothing to dowith that.”

Michigan athletic directorBill Martin said he has about20 candidates in mind andwould start his searchMonday afternoon.

Martin plans to form a

search committee and to askfor Carr’s input.

“I want to get this done assoon as I can,” Martin said.

Among other things,Monday, Carr joked aboutspeculation that coachingwore him out.

“I’m not tired,” he saidwith a smile. “I may looktired, but I still have a greatpassion for the game, for theplayers and for the competi-tion. But I also know thatthere are some things that Idon’t have anymore, and soit’s time.”

Carr had a 121-40 recordfor a .752 winning percentage,seventh among active coachesbehind Florida State’s BobbyBowden and ahead of SouthCarolina’s Steve Spurrier.

He is one of eight coachesin Big Ten history with at leastfive championships and henever finished lower thanthird in the conference.

Michigan has lost its lastfour bowl games, includingthree Rose Bowls, the longestpostseason skid sinceSchembechler dropped sevenstraight in the 1970s.

“We haven’t won a bowlgame around here in a whileand that would be a great wayto send coach Carr off,”receiver Greg Mathews said.

The Los Angeles Angelstraded Gold Glove shortstopOrlando Cabrera to theChicago White Sox for pitcherJon Garland on Monday,while World Series championBoston kept Mike Lowell andthe Yankees held on to closerMariano Rivera.

The Red Sox and their pop-ular third baseman reached apreliminary agreement on athree-year, $37.5 million con-tract, according to two peoplefamiliar with the negotiationswho spoke on condition ofanonymity because the dealhad not been finalized.

Rivera told the Yankees heis accepting their $45 million,three-year offer.

Tom Glavine and GregMaddux, former teammateswith Atlanta, also made newson different coasts. Glavinereturned to the Braves with an$8 million, one-year contract,and Maddux finalized a $10million, one-year contractwith the San Diego Padres.

“It’s hard to describe,”Glavine said a news confer-ence, flanked by his wife,Christine, new Braves generalmanager Frank Wren andmanager Bobby Cox.“Obviously we still love ithere. This is home for us.”

Second baseman LuisCastillo stayed with the NewYork Mets, agreeing a $25million, four-year deal, andcatcher Jason LaRue agreed toan $850,000, one-year con-

tract with the St. LouisCardinals.

The 33-year-old Cabrerabatted .301 with eight homers,86 RBIs and a career-high 101runs for the AL West champi-ons this season. He also ledAL shortstops in fielding per-centage (.983) and won hissecond Gold Glove. The othercame in 2001 with theMontreal Expos.

Garland, an 18-game win-ner in 2005 and 2006, was 10-13 with a 4.23 ERA in 32starts this year. He joins asolid Angels rotation thatincludes John Lackey, KelvimEscobar and Jered Weaver.

“For me it’s a great oppor-tunity, growing up in theSouthern California area, tocome home and show the

West what my capabilitiesare,” Garland said. “I’d loveto bring a championship backto Southern California andenjoy it back home.”

The deal came 12 days afterthe White Sox re-signed short-stop Juan Uribe to a $4.5 mil-lion, one-year contract. Now,he could wind up on the benchor with another team.

“We saw an opportunity toacquire one of the best short-stops in the game and one ofthe smartest shortstops in thegame. Somebody who can fitinto the No. 2 spot in our line-up for 155 games,” Chicagogeneral manager KenWilliams said, adding thetrade frees up money thatcould help the White Sox pulloff another deal.

“We’re not done yet. We’restill out there trying to landsome big fish,” he said.

In the three weeks sincewinning their second champi-onship in four seasons, theRed Sox have retained theirtwo biggest free agents, WorldSeries MVP Lowell and pitch-er Curt Schilling, and exer-cised options on TimWakefield and Julian Tavarez.

The 33-year-old Lowell,who made $9 million this sea-son, was seeking four guaran-teed years and might have got-

ten it elsewhere. While thesides have reached the outlineof the deal, there are stillminor issues to be worked outand as of Monday eveningthere still was not a signed let-ter of agreement between theteam and Lowell’s agents.

“How cool is that? Leavingyears and dollars on the tableto come back here for threemore years, good stuff,”Schilling wrote on his blog,38pitches.com. “Congrats to

Mike and I’ve already spokenwith a few guys on the teamand suffice to say we’re all”ecstatic.

Rivera’s agreement ispending a physical. TheYankees also have a prelimi-nary agreement on a $52.4million, four-year contractwith catcher Jorge Posada andare trying to finish off arecord-setting $275 million,10-year deal with AlexRodriguez, who won his thirdAL MVP award.

“We’ve got everybodyback,” Yankees senior vicepresident Hank Steinbrennersaid. “It’s good to have bothJorgie and him back.”

Rivera was coming off athree-year contract that paidhim $31.5 million. He hadhoped for an extension beforethe start of this season, but theYankees decided not to dis-cuss contract extensions withany of their players until afterthe 2007 season was over.

“Mariano is obviouslysomeone that we can’t livewithout because he’s one of akind and he’s so unique inwhat he does for us,”Rodriguez said. “He’s such anunbelievable force in ourclubhouse. In many ways he’skind of the voice for a lot ofpeople in there.”

New York next hopes AndyPettitte will decide to pitch forthe Yankees again next year.

Pettitte turned down a $16million player option, sayinghe needed more time to decidewhether he wanted to play orretire.

Castillo passed his physicaland finalized his deal with theMets, who acquired him fromMinnesota on July 30.

“I’m happy,” Castillo said.“I know we have a goodteam.”

The three-time All-Star bat-ted .296 for New York with 10stolen bases, 20 RBIs and 37runs in 50 games. He hit .304with 18 RBIs and 54 runs in85 games for the Twins.

A three-time Gold Glovewinner, the 32-year-oldCastillo also provided soliddefense despite playing on asore right knee that limited hisspeed.

Castillo had an arthroscop-ic procedure to clean out hisknee after the season and isexpected to be 100 percent

healthy by early January,according to his agents, Samand Seth Levinson. They saidit was simply scar tissue thatcaused the discomfort.

“We feel that he should befine going forward,” NewYork general manager OmarMinaya said.

Castillo gets a $1 millionsigning bonus and salaries of$6 million each of the nextfour years.

Maddux, who turns 42 onApril 14, agreed to the termsof his deal two weeks earlier.

The right-hander has 347wins, four Cy Young Awardsand a World Series champi-onship won in 1995 with theAtlanta Braves.

Maddux’s return as SanDiego’s No. 3 starter appearedlikely after he went 14-11with a 4.14 ERA in his firstseason with the Padres, whofell one win short of their thirdstraight playoff appearance.

RICHMOND, Va. —Michael Vick got a head starton a possible long prisonstretch Monday, surrenderingthree weeks before he was tobe sentenced for his involve-ment in a bloody dogfightingring.

The disgraced AtlantaFalcons quarterback surren-dered to U.S. marshals in whathis lawyer said was anotherstep in his public repentance.

“From the beginning, Mr.Vick has accepted responsibil-ity for his actions, and hisself-surrender further demon-strates that acceptance,” attor-ney Billy Martin said in astatement. “Michael wants toagain apologize to everyonewho has been hurt in this mat-ter, and he thanks all of thepeople who have offered himand his family prayers andsupport during this time.”

Vick pleaded guilty inAugust to a federal dogfight-ing conspiracy charge after histhree co-defendants pleadedguilty and agreed to cooperatewith authorities.

He’s scheduled to be sen-tenced Dec. 10 on a federaldogfighting conspiracy chargebut worked out a deal “to vol-untarily enter custody prior tohis sentencing hearing,”according to a court docu-ment.

The federal sentencingguideline range is projected ata year to 18 months, but Vick,who has admitted bankrollingthe Bad Newz Kennels, couldbe sentenced to up to fiveyears in prison.

In an e-mail sent to the AP,the U.S. attorney’s office con-firmed Vick’s surrender butdeclined further comment.

Whether the unexpectedmove will lighten Vick’s sen-tence is unclear, said RonaldBacigal, a University ofRichmond law professor whospecializes in criminal lawand criminal procedure.

“It’s kind of like readingtea leaves knowing what’s theexact impact on the judge,”Bacigal said. “I don’t thinkthere’s any benefits exceptgetting (the sentence) started.I would think he’s purelythinking about timing as far aswhen he can get back to his

football.”Vick has a lot to overcome.His troubles began in April

when authorities conducting adrug investigation of a Vickcousin seized dozens of dogs,most of them pit bulls, from aSurry County property, alongwith equipment linked to dog-fighting.

It’s there that the dogfight-ing enterprise known as BadNewz Kennels operated since2001 on 15 acres of land Vickowned.

Suspended indefinitely bythe NFL without pay, Vicksolemnly apologized for hisactions before cameras in lateAugust — only to gain morenegative attention when hetested positive in Septemberfor marijuana, a violation ofU.S. District Court JudgeHenry Hudson’s order thatVick stay clean in exchangefor being allowed to be free.

Financial troubles have fur-ther sullied Vick’s image:He’s being sued for more than$4 million by banks claiminghe defaulted on loans andmight have to repay nearly$20 million in NFL signingbonus money.

Mendocino County’sL o c a l N e w s p a p e r

Dear Annie: I have an aunt, “Bess,” whoworks as a loan officer. My grandmother men-tioned recently that Bess had looked up anoth-er family member’s financial history. She saidBess discovered that this family member hadrecently taken out a $135,000 bank loan.Grandma also told me that a few years ago,Bess had looked up another family’s informa-tion after they purchased a new car and said,“They can’t afford that!”

My grandmother insists this information isavailable to anyone and that Bess has donenothing wrong. I don’t see how this can belegal, and I am concerned that my own infor-mation and credit history have been viewed bymy aunt. She is just a busybody.

These family members have no businesscontact with her bank. Is Bess abusing her rightto privileged information as a loan officer?How can I find out if she’s been looking at myfinancial records? -- Tired of Snoops

Dear Tired: Aunt Bess should not be dis-closing confidential credit informationobtained through her bank job. However,you’d be surprised how much financial data isavailable to anyone who knows how to look forit. A great deal of what you might consider pri-vate information is available on the Internet. Itwould be highly improper if Aunt Bess is usingher contacts at the bank to look up your infor-mation, but if she is getting this simply byaccessing public records, it’s perfectly legal.But plenty nosy.

Dear Annie: For the third time, I have wonmoney in a 50-50 charity raffle and was

coerced into giving the money back. Each timeI won, the person conducting the raffle wouldsay, “Wouldn’t it be nice if ’Mr. Smith’ donat-ed his prize back to the charity?” If you don’tgive the money back, it makes you feel cheapand selfish. If you do give it back, it makes youangry and resentful (which is how I feel).

I just went to a fundraiser and spent $100 fora 50-50 raffle ticket. I won $5,000, but onlytemporarily. Once again, the emcee suggestedit would be nice if I donated it back to the orga-nization. I gave half of it back, and he chidedme over the microphone for not giving all of itback. I felt like crawling under the table.

Annie, I’m just an average guy -- notwealthy by any means. If they want you todonate your winnings back, they should notcall it a raffle. They should call it a donation. Iwill never buy another such ticket again, andI’m not the only one. I hope all fundraisers takeheed. -- Just Getting By

Dear Getting By: A 50-50 raffle is onewhere the entire pot is split between the orga-nization and the winning ticket holder. The

organization is already making a profit throughthe sale of tickets and should not strong-armwinners into giving back the rest for preciselythe reason you give -- it makes them less like-ly to buy another such ticket. It also makesthose who observe the proceedings less likelyto purchase future tickets, knowing they willbe publicly pressured and shamed, and aren’tgoing to win anything when it’s over. Thishurts the organization in the long run, and wehope you will notify the people in charge.

Dear Annie: This is for “Aging withDignity,” whose husband was subjected tomocking comments about his baldness.

I am also bald. I relish the moment someonemakes a comment about my head. My reply issimple. I look them in the eye and say, “I amnot bald. What you are seeing is a solar panelfor a sex machine.” That usually leads to aquick change of subject. -- Old Baldy

Dear Old Baldy: We are laughing out loudand suspect many of our follicularly chal-lenged readers will be using your excellentcomeback at the first opportunity.

ORDINANCE NO. 1101AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL

OF THE CITY OF UKIAHAMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP FOR THE CITY OF UKIAH, CALIFORNIA

The City Council of City of Ukiah does hereby ordain as follows:SECTION ONEPursuant to the procedures set forth in Sec-tion 9009 of the Ukiah Municipal Code, the Official Zoning Map for the City of Ukiah is amended to change the zoning on a 2.3-acre property at 1165 South Dora Street (APN 003-130-52; 54; 56; & 57) from CN (Neigh-borhood Commercial) to CN PD (Neighbor-hood Commercial-Planned Development Combining).SECTION TWOThis rezoning action and amendment to the Official Zoning Map of the City of Ukiah is necessary to establish a planned develop-ment area on the site with standards that will allow the division of the site into 7 lots, includ-ing two lots with flexible lot widths, and one lot with a 41% lot coverage, and the subse-quent establishment of a professional office/mixed use planned development with existing structures, as shown on Exhibits 1 and 2 of this ordinance and subject to the Findings and Conditions of Approval shown on Exhibit 3 of this ordinance.SECTION THREEThis rezoning action and amendment to the official Zoning Map of the City of Ukiah is ef-fective upon the completion of the land divi-sion proposed in the major subdivision com-ponent of the project (SUB 06-40).SECTION FOURThis ordinance shall be published as required by law in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Ukiah.SECTION FIVEThis Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after adoption.Introduced by title only on September 19, 2007 by the following roll call vote:AYES: Councilmembers Thomas, McCowen, Crane, Baldwin, and Mayor RodinNOES: NoneABSENT: NoneABSTAIN: NonePassed and adopted on November 7, 2007, by the following vote:AYES: Councilmembers Thomas, McCow-en, Crane, Baldwin, and Mayor RodinNOES: NoneABSENT: NoneABSTAIN: NoneMari Rodin, MayorATTEST:Linda Brown, City ClerkATTACHMENT 1EXHIBIT 1Proposed Zoning Map Changes SMITH/DELUCCHI MIXED-USE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (MAP)ATTACHMENT 1EXHIBIT 2Site Plan of Proposed Lots for SMITH/DELUCCHI MIXED-USE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (MAP)ATTACHMENT 1EXHIBIT 3Findings and Conditions of Approval forSMITH/DELUCCHI MIXED-USE PLANNED DEVELOPMENTFINDINGS:1. The rezone of the subject property from CN to CN PD and the establishment of a mixed-use commercial planned development on the site are consistent with the goals and policies of the C (Commercial) General Plan land use classification, the purpose and intent of the CN Zoning District, and with the purpose and intent of the PD Combining Zone, which pro-

vides greater flexibility and design opportuni-ties for such projects;2. There is sufficient variety, creativity, and articulation in the architecture of the existing commercial buildings to avoid monotony or any box-like external appearance and the buildings and surrounding grounds will gener-ally be consistent with the design and scale of similar developments in the surrounding neighborhood;3. The location, size, and intensity of the ex-isting structures and the adjoining parking lots and access driveways will not create hazard-ous or inconvenient impacts to existing vehic-ular traffic patterns since these facilities are already developed and in use and will not cause substantial traffic volume increases or alter existing traffic patterns in a substantial manner;4. The subject property is already developed with adequate accessible off-street parking areas that are located on the proposed lots or will be served with reciprocal access ease-ments, limiting the potential for hazardous or inconvenient conditions to adjacent surround-ing uses;5. The location, size, and intensity of the proj-ect will not create hazardous or inconvenient impacts to pedestrian traffic since it will utilize an existing pattern of sidewalks well-defined pedestrian access between the Dora Street corridor and the individual buildings that exist on the site;6. Sufficient landscaped areas and open spaces have already been developed and will be retained for purposes of separating or screening the structures on each site from each other and from adjoining properties;7. The existing structures that will be retained on the site will not cut out light or air on the property since the buildings on the site are single-story in height, were constructed along perimeter areas of the property where they are set back far enough from abutting build-ings on the site or on abutting properties to limit adverse shading patterns on those lots;8. The planned development will utilize exist-ing buildings with no substantial additions and will not cause excessive damage to or de-struction of natural features on the site since there are few substantial resources present and the landscape plan will include the reten-tion of existing mature trees;9. The development of this property with the planned development will not have a substan-tial detrimental impact on the character or val-ue of an adjacent residential zoning district since the proposed planned project will utilize existing buildings that are compatible with surrounding development and accepted in the surrounding neighborhood;10. The proposed planned development proj-ect will utilize existing structures and infra-structure that is already generally compatible with surrounding land uses and will not be detrimental to the public∂s health, safety, and general welfare since the project entails no in-creases in the development density of the site, is fairly self-contained and semi-seclud-ed from the surrounding neighborhood, and developed in a manner that is consistent with the surrounding land uses.11. The development of the planned develop-ment project is not exempt from the provi-sions of the California Environmental Quality Act, but an Initial Study done in accordance with CEQA identified no potentially significant adverse environmental impacts and a Nega-tive Declaration has bee prepared for the project.RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF AP-PROVAL:1. No building permits shall be issued for any of the structures shown on the Precise Devel-opment Plan for the Planned Development until the Final Map has been approved by the Ukiah City Council and signed by the City En-

agreement, a hold harmless agreement and a private property agreement.

closure.17. In the event that new development occurs within the planned development, all condi-tions of approval for the establishment of the planned development shall be listed on the ti-tle page of any plans submitted and it shall be the responsibility of the applicant/developer to ensure that all contractors responsible for any work on the project fully understand these conditions and comply fully with their imple-mentation. Any deviation from the terms of these conditions or the plans/exhibits ap-proved as part of the project shall be submit-ted to the Director of the Planning and Com-munity Development for review and shall be approved prior to any work affected by the modification.18. All conditions that do not contain a specif-ic date or time period for completion shall be completed prior to the issuance of a Certifi-cate of Occupancy.

their faces, ready to volunteertheir time. Castorena was pre-viously the manager at theFood Bank and said he andhis family know first-handthe importance of the baskets.

“I was there at one time,”Castorena explained. “To bethere and be where we arenow is a blessing that I wantto give back to the peoplewho have been down and out.It comes from the heart. Italmost brings tears to myeyes.”

Danisha, Castorena’s old-est daughter, had volunteeredbefore, and explained that shewouldn’t choose to be doinganything but helping out withthe food baskets Monday.

“This is a fun way tospend my time,” she saidwith a smile on her face.“This is my way of givingback to the community.”

But the good-natured vol-unteers didn’t stop with theCastorena family. A mix ofnew and old faces at the FoodBank also took their time tohelp out with the basket bash.First-time volunteers likeGreta Middleton and AlenDixon worked diligently toserve everyone and restockitems as food basket veteranslike James Weston handedout turkeys.

“It’s really all about help-ing other people,” Westonsaid. “I enjoy helping otherpeople who need help.”

For Food Bank ManagerDayl Reed the day seemed togo smoothly as the volunteershad already prepared theFood Bank warehouse for theday of heavy traffic wellbefore her 8 a.m. arrival.

“The volunteers have beenso amazing,” Reed said asshe looked on with satisfac-tion. “I think this is a lot offun to watch.”

It appeared that the volun-teers’ light-hearted andupbeat attitude also workedits way into the lives of thosepicking up baskets as family

after family left the FoodBank with gleaming smiles.

While picking up her fami-ly’s turkey, Gail Dishman --who also volunteers at theFood Bank weekly --expressed her deep-felt appre-

ciation of the help providedto so many families, “I lovethe Food Bank. The FoodBank is wonderful. Ukiahwon’t be going hungry withtheir help this year. It’s nicethat I’m helping my family

out. This is going to makeThanksgiving a great one.”

Sign-ups for the Christmasfood baskets begins Monday,Nov. 26 and ends MondayDec. 10. The pickup anddelivery date for the

Christmas baskets is betweennoon and 6 p.m. Dec. 21. Tosign up for a Christmas bas-ket, contact the UkiahCommunity Center FoodBank at 888 N. State St. or byphone at (707) 463-2409.

SAN FRANCISCO — Membersof Congress demanded answersMonday on the Coast Guard’sresponse to an oil spill that dumped58,000 gallons of toxic fuel into SanFrancisco Bay, but the lawmakersleft unsatisfied and pledged to openanother federal investigation.

A high-ranking admiral counteredthat the blame rested squarely withthe operators of the container ship

that rammed a tower of SanFrancisco-Oakland Bay Bridge onNov. 7. The collision opened a gashin the vessel’s hull, leaking the fuelthat spread inside and outside theGolden Gate, contaminating miles ofcoastline and killing hundreds ofbirds.

“Something tragic must havetaken place on board the ship,” CoastGuard Rear Adm. Craig Bone said. Ifthe pilot and master “had carried outtheir responsibilities, we wouldn’t be

sitting here today.”In a three-hour congressional field

hearing within sight of the bay, 10lawmakers took turns grilling Boneabout why the service did not domore to warn the Cosco Busan it wasin trouble, why it waited hours toinform city officials of the spill andwhy it did not press fishermen andvolunteers into service sooner.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md.,the chairman of the subcommitteethat convened the hearing, said the

Coast Guard’s responses left himwanting.

“Something is missing,”Cummings said. “We’ve got to findout what it is that is missing. It’s notjust about San Francisco. This isabout our country, and this is aboutmaking sure this type of thing does-n’t happen again.”

The Coast Guard said Monday itwas initiating a nationwide “inci-dent-specific preparedness review”to ensure its personnel in other

regions would be ready for such adisaster.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whorepresents San Francisco, said sheplanned to ask the Department ofHomeland Security to conduct itsown investigation. That would be inaddition to ongoing probes by theU.S. attorney’s office here, theNational Transportation SafetyBoard, California government agen-cies and Cummings’ HouseSubcommittee on Coast Guard.
