A redwood tree leaning over U.S. Highway 101 will be cutdown Sunday, a few months after it was determined not to bean immediate threat to motorist safety.

That means the road will be closed for about one hour andtraffic will be controlled one-way for the rest of the morning.

Caltrans spokeswoman Julie East said the decision wasmade by the California State Parks after some cracks werefound in the tree.

When concerns were raised back in December, officials atHumboldt Redwoods State Parks said the tree appeared to bestable and both Caltrans and state parks said they were moni-toring it.

Humboldt Redwoods maintenance chief Richard Beresfordsaid vertical cracks were found recently, but they didn't neces-sarily indicate the tree was weakening.

EUREKA -- Korean restaurants will be serving a slime eelappetizer with a soju chaser -- shipped from Humboldt Baystarting next week.

As part of an effort to tap a market for live hagfish and builda fishery for local fishermen, Carvalho Fisheries and exporterPeter Chu were preparing to box up about 5,000 pounds of theprimitive and somewhat disgusting eel-like creatures on Friday.Kept alive in oxygenated bags inside Styrofoam coolers, thehagfish will be in Seoul this weekend.

Coiled like sleeping snakes in the bottom of live tanks atCarvalho's waterfront dock, the hagfish are peaceful.

”When they're comfortable, they curl up,” Chu said, gentlydrawing a net through the mass of hagfish.

It's the characteristic that earned the fish one of its namesthat makes it seem an unlikely candidate for consumption.

Mendocino County resident Richard McLellan has filed awrit of mandate against Mendocino County, accusingMendocino County Department of Animal Care and Control ofeuthanizing animals in violation of state law.

The case revolves around a county ordinance passed in 200which says that an animal that is voluntarily surrendered to ani-mal control for euthanasia does not need to be held the mini-mum of six-days mandated by state law.

“The County of Mendocino is currently illegally euthanizingowner relinquished animals before the expiration of therequired holding period as required under state law,” according

SACRAMENTO -- In anod to the state's fiscal healthand his own fabulous wealth,Gov. Arnold Schwarzeneggerdeclines his $206,500 salary.When it comes to the compen-sation of his aides, however,the governor is far less frugal.

Since taking office morethan three years ago,Schwarzenegger has brokenwith tradition by allowing topaides to moonlight on cam-paigns, collecting salariesfrom public and private inter-ests simultaneously. He alsohas boosted the ranks of

staffers earning $100,000 ormore of taxpayer money. Andthe man who vowed to shakeup politics as usual has contin-ued the age-old practice ofrewarding campaign aides,many of them in their 20s,with well-paid state jobs.

A man who credits hisKennedy in-laws with nurtur-ing his sense of public service,Schwarzenegger thinks com-pensating aides well is a wayto “attract the best and thebrightest,” said his PressSecretary Aaron McLear. Thegovernor's staffers consider it“an honor to work for thisgovernor and to serve the peo-ple of California.”

But some political scien-tists and ethicists fret that thegovernor, accustomed to

Hollywood pay scales, sendsconflicting messages aboutpublic service. They're con-cerned his actions may under-mine long-held practices andtraditions that have ennobledthe calling:

-- Government staff gener-ally eschew working on stateand campaign payrolls simul-taneously, for fear that it couldappear their full effort isn'tfocused on the public's inter-ests.

-- Public servants are paidmodestly, to safeguard taxpay-er dollars. Their reward is inpersonal satisfaction, gener-ous benefits and the opportu-nity to earn more in the pri-

vate sector later.-- Young state workers, in

particular, toil for a pittance inexchange for valuable experi-ence and connections.

Undoubtedly, exceptions tosome of those rules haveexisted in recent administra-tions. But they're particularlyprevalent underSchwarzenegger. As governor,he has wide latitude to setemployee salaries, so long asthey fit into his overall officebudget, which must beapproved by the Legislature.

There is a nationwide“decline in the ethos that pub-lic service trumps the materialadvantages of the private sec-

tor,” especially as the gapwidens between public andprivate wages, said BruceCain, who directs the Instituteof Governmental Studies atUC-Berkeley.

“Arnold as usual not onlyexemplifies, but also magni-fies, whatever a trend is,”Cain said. “Coming from theglitziest and most over-rewarded part of the privatesector, he's obviously doingmore of it” than his predeces-sors.

The practice that has star-tled observers most is moon-lighting by top administration

U.S. military reports 14 more soldierskilled in deadly 3 days

BAGHDAD (AP) — The U.S. military said Sunday that 14American soldiers were killed over the past three days, includ-ing four in a single roadside bombing and another who wasstruck by a suicide bomber while on a foot patrol.

The blast that killed the four U.S. soldiers occurred Sundayas the troops were conducting a cordon and search operationnorthwest of Baghdad, according to a statement. Two other sol-diers were killed and five were wounded along with an Iraqiinterpreter in two separate roadside bombings on Sunday, themilitary said.

In the boldest attack, a U.S. soldier was killed Friday afterthe patrol approached two suspicious men for questioning neara mosque southwest of Baghdad, and one of the suspects blewhimself up. Military spokesman Maj. Webster Wright said U.S.troops also fired at the second suspect after he began actingaggressively, and the gunfire detonated his suicide vest.

“Our initial analysis is that these guys were al-Qaida andwere planning to launch attacks into Baghdad,” Wright said inan e-mailed statement.

Seven other soldiers were killed in a series of attacks acrossIraq on Saturday.

Iraq war could dominate Democraticpresidential debate in New Hampshire

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — The Iraq war was the domi-nant issue confronting Democratic presidential candidatesSunday night at their second televised debate of the campaign,this one in the leadoff primary state.

All the major candidates planned to participate in the two-hour debate, including Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, BarackObama, Chris Dodd and Joe Biden; former Sens. John Edwardsand Mike Gravel; New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson; and OhioRep. Dennis Kucinich.

The contenders were expected to take questions from a teamof journalists for the first hour. In the second hour, questionswere to come from about 100 New Hampshire voters who saythey are undecided in the contest.

The debate was sponsored by CNN, WMUR-TV and theNew Hampshire Union Leader. The site was the campus ofSaint Anselm College in Manchester.

The war was expected to be a main focus, as it was duringDemocrats’ first debate, in late April in Orangeburg, S.C. Pollsshow the war has become deeply unpopular among voters andespecially among Democratic activists, who vote heavily in pri-maries.

Immigration bill would put some highschool graduates on fast track towardlegalization, American citizenship

WASHINGTON (AP) — At 23, Mariana should be carefree.She is finishing up her undergraduate degree at the Universityof California, Los Angeles, and has been accepted to a master’sprogram at Harvard University’s education school.

But life is not so simple for Mariana, who insisted that onlyher first name be published because she is illegally in the UnitedStates and worries she could be deported to Guatemala, whereshe was born.

“I’m even afraid of eating an apple in the library because I’mafraid of getting caught,” she said.

Mariana also worries about how she will pay her tuition andwhat kind of work she will get after she completes school.“What happens next? Without a work permit, how do you exer-cise your degree?” she said during a recent interview.

Mariana is among an estimated 50,000 undocumented stu-dents in U.S. colleges today. These students would be amongthe people who would benefit from a part of an immigration bill

CHICAGO (AP) — Porn used to be relegated to a video hid-den in the bottom drawer, or a magazine under the mattress.Today, it’s part of everyday life.

Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends have become TV’s “girls nextdoor.” Porn stars have MySpace pages and do voiceovers forvideo games. And while “porn on demand” is standard for hotelTVs and upgraded cable packages, it’s even easier to find itwith a few clicks on the computer.

In April, more than a third of the U.S. Internet audience vis-ited sites that fit into the online “adult” category, according tocomScore Media Metrix.

So the message is clear: In today’s world, sex doesn’t justsell. The pervasiveness of porn has made sexiness — from sub-tle to raunchy — a much-sought-after attribute online, at schooland even at work.

Many agree that the trend has had a particularly strong influ-ence on young women — in some cases, taking shape as anunapologetic embracing of sexuality and exhibitionism.

Lebanese army bombards Palestinianrefugee camp for third day TRIPOLI, Lebanon (AP) — Lebanon’s army pounded Islamicmilitants hiding in a bombed-out Palestinian refugee campSunday for the third straight day, while fighting erupted out-side another camp in the south, stoking fears of widespreadviolence breaking out in the country.

Fierce fighting has engulfed the outskirts of the Nahr el-Bared camp in northern Lebanon since Friday, when theLebanese army — using tanks and artillery — launched anoffensive to drive the Fatah Islam militants from their positionsinside the settlement.

But they have faced strong resistance and the relentless bom-bardments threaten to anger Palestinians in the country’s otherrefugee camps, possibly causing violence to spread.

Near the southern city of Sidon, suspected members of themilitant Islamic group Jund al-Sham fired a rocket-propelled-grenade at a Lebanese army checkpoint outside a camp Sunday,wounding at least five people, security officials said on cus-tomary condition of anonymity.

The attack prompted a shootout between the troops and mil-itants, causing people to flee into homes and mosques for safe-ty. It was not clear if the attack was related to the conflict in thenorth, but several hardline Islamic groups have called onMuslims to support Fatah Islam.

World’s wildlife watchdog weighs more limits on commercial fisheriesTHE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The international bodyoverseeing wildlife trade may throw a lifeline to the sharkpopular in fish and chips and the aromatic cedar tree used forfine furniture and humidors, as it considers new limitations oncommercial fisheries and timber.

A meeting of the 171-nation Convention on InternationalTrade in Endangered Species will wade into commercial issuesas never before, in hopes of intervening before species’ survivalreaches a serious level of risk, its secretary-general, WillemWijnstekers, said Sunday.

Until now, CITES has stepped in “at a far too late stage,when the species were already or almost commercially extinct,”he said, referring specially to timber like mahogany.

The ongoing struggles to control elephant poaching and toprotect tigers from extinction are also on the agenda of the 12-day gathering under CITES, a treaty that came into force in1975.

The conference will consider a European proposal to regulatethe trade in the spiny dogfish, a small shark exploited for thefast food business, and the porbeagle, another shark valued forits meat and fin. Both sharks grow slowly, mature late and havefew young.

‘Pirates’ sinks but stays on top of boxoffice with $43.2 million weekend

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Pirates of the Caribbean: AtWorld’s End” hit an ebb tide in its second weekend but still hadenough buoyancy to hold the No. 1 spot at the box office.

With a $43.2 million weekend, Disney’s blockbuster sequelsank a steep 62.4 percent from its $114.7 million opening aweek earlier, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Universal’s romantic comedy “Knocked Up,” starringKatherine Heigl as a career woman who gets pregnant from aone-night stand with a slacker (Seth Rogen), debuted a strongNo. 2 with $29.3 million. The movie’s weekend gross equaledits entire production budget.

“It looks like a lot of people wanted to get knocked up thisweekend,” said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-officetracker Media By Numbers.

MGM’s thriller “Mr. Brooks,” with Kevin Costner as a mild-mannered businessman who moonlights as a serial killer, pre-miered in fourth place with $10 million.

Services that let home buyers piggybackon others’ credit roil industry

UNDATED (AP) — Only a low credit score stood betweenAlipio Estruch and a mortgage to buy a $449,000 Spanish-stylehouse in Weston, Fla., a few miles west of Fort Lauderdale.

Instead of spending several years repairing his credit rating,which he said was marred by two forgotten cell phone bills andidentity theft, the 37-year-old real estate agent paid $1,800 to anInternet-based company to bump up his score almost overnight.

The result was a happy ending for Estruch, but the growingpractice is sending shivers through the mortgage industry.

The world briefly

By STEVE LAWRENCEAssociated Press Writer

SACRAMENTO — Formost of this year, meetings ofthe full state Assembly andSenate have been rather briefaffairs, filled with award cer-emonies, eulogies for depart-ed constituents and votes onthe relatively few bills thatemerged early from legisla-tive committees.

That changes this week,when more than 600 bills facea Friday deadline to pass theirfirst house or wait until 2008for a chance to reach the gov-ernor’s desk. Both housesplan long sessions that could,at least in the Assembly’scase, stretch into the night toclear their clogged agendas.

Most of the pending billswere approved Thursday bythe appropriations commit-tees in each house. Theyinclude some of the biggestmeasures of the year — legis-lation to reshape California’shealth care system, authorizegay marriages and allow ter-minally ill patients to obtainlife-ending drugs from theirdoctors.

Also this week, six law-makers — three from eachhouse — will be trying to put

together a state spending planfor the budget year that startsJuly 1. The Legislature is sup-posed to approve the budgetby June 15, but it’s a fre-quently missed deadline.

Here are a few of the mea-sures this week:

HEALTH CARE — TheDemocratic leaders in bothhouses — Assembly SpeakerFabian Nunez, D-LosAngeles, and SenatePresident Pro Tem DonPerata, D-Oakland — havemeasures to reduce the num-ber of Californians withouthealth insurance. The billswould expand governmenthealth care programs and

require all but the smallestbusinesses to pay for theiremployees’ coverage or con-tribute to a state health carefund.

A broader measure by Sen.Sheila Kuehl, D-SantaMonica, would set up a state-administered health care sys-tem covering all Californians.Another bill, byAssemblyman Dave Jones,D-Sacramento, would regu-late rates charged by healthinsurance companies.

AID IN DYING —Assembly members PattyBerg, D-Eureka, and LloydLevine, D-Sherman Oaks, aremaking another attempt toconvince their colleagues toapprove a bill that wouldallow the terminally ill toobtain life-ending drugs fromtheir physicians.

Supporters say the mea-sure, modeled after anOregon law, would enablethose patients to die peaceful-ly on their own terms, butopponents contend it couldlead to abuses and euthanasiafor the elderly, disabled andchronically ill. This timearound, Berg and Levine havepicked up a powerful ally inNunez, who has signed on as

a co-author, increasing thechances the bill will clear theAssembly.

GAY MARRIAGE —Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, is back with abill to legalize gay marriages.Lawmakers approved the billin 2005, but it was vetoed byGov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.The Republican governor tolda group of high school stu-dents in February that hewould turn down the billagain if it reaches his deskthis year. But Leno said themeasure’s supporters shouldkeep trying.

VEGGIE INSPECTIONS— “Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter, has three bills thatwould step up efforts to pre-vent contamination of greenleafy vegetables with E. colibacteria. The bills were intro-duced after officials linkedSalinas Valley spinach andlettuce to E. coli outbreakslast year that killed at leastthree people and sickenedabout 300. Florez’s proposalswould give state public healthofficers the authority to setsanitary standards for grow-ers, conduct field inspectionsand adopt recall procedures.

Bills face Friday deadline to pass first house

A-4 – MONDAY, JUNE 4, 2007


VIEWPOINTS

Barring a miracle, the United States faces a cata-strophic defeat in Iraq, with President Bush and bothRepublicans and Democrats in Congress sharing in theblame.

Bush's new counterinsurgency strategy has yet to befully implemented, and yet the White House and Con-gress both are talking up a return to the recommenda-tions of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group -- which is tosay, the same strategy Bush abandoned earlier this yearas a failure.

Instead of stationing U.S. troops in urban neighbor-hoods to prevent sectarian mayhem -- as the U.S. com-mander, Gen. David Petraeus, is trying to do -- the ISGpolicy calls for a return to secure bases, away frominvolvement in what surely will be a renewed civil war.

Failure to bring order and stability to Baghdad willdiscredit both the U.S. and the Iraqi government. Amidsectarian chaos, it will lead to new calls for a totalwithdrawal of U.S. troops and abandonment of thecountry to become a haven for Al Qaeda and pro-Iran-ian Shiite militias.

The miracle that's needed is dramatic evidence thissummer that the Petraeus "surge" is working and swiftmovement toward Iraqi political reconciliation. Butmiracles rarely happen and patience in America is run-ning out.

As Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., stated on theSenate floor on May 24, "the current surge of troops inBaghdad, which we all hope is successful, is not byitself a strategy for tomorrow. The Iraq Study Groupreport is a strategy for tomorrow.”

Alexander is co-sponsoring a resolution designed todeclare the ISG recommendations official U.S. policy.

The presence of conservatives Gregg and Bennettamong the co-sponsors indicates it may have theunspoken backing of Senate Minority Leader MitchMcConnell (Ky.) and Minority Whip Trent Lott(Miss.).

Alexander contends that the ISG policy is not incon-sistent with Petraeus' counterinsurgency surge -- thereis a one-sentence mention of a temporary troop surgein the ISG's December 2006 report -- but advocacy of itnow certainly undercuts Petraeus' efforts and signalsthat a U.S. pullback is in the offing.

The House and Senate voted by lopsided marginslast week to continue funding the war -- 80-14 in theSenate and 280-142 in the House -- but it's significantthat a majority of House Democrats voted "no," as didDemocratic presidential candidates Sens. Hillary Rod-ham Clinton (N.Y.), Barack Obama (Ill.) and ChrisDodd (Conn.)

If Petraeus and the Iraqi government can't producemiracles by September, demands for withdrawal arelikely to become irresistible, particularly as the 2008elections draw near.

If the United States leaves Iraq in chaos, the blamewill fall primarily on President Bush, who already isbeing branded as one of the worst presidents in Ameri-can history for the Iraq misadventure.

As retired CIA official Bruce Riedel wrote in theMay/June issue of Foreign Affairs, al- Qaida is resur-gent in the world, battle-hardened and encouraged byexperience in Iraq and now plotting terrorism inEurope, North Africa, India and the Middle East.

Now, despite the fact that Al Qaeda leaders havedeclared Iraq to be the central front in the jihadist waron America, Democrats want to abandon that struggle.They say they want to confront Al Qaeda inAfghanistan instead, but who's to believe they wouldstay the course there if it became difficult?

Riedel, in his Foreign Affairs article, argues thatIraq has become "more of a trap than an opportunityfor the United States." He recommends a "complete,orderly and phased troop withdrawal that allows theIraqi government to take the credit for the pullout...."

After that, he said, "the objective should be to let theIraqis settle their conflicts themselves," while the Unit-ed States concentrates on combating Al Qaeda, primar-ily in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The problem with this argument is that Al Qaedawill interpret U.S. withdrawal from Iraq as anotherretreat, more evidence that the United States lacks thestomach for a long-term struggle. It was that convic-tion that led to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Riedel concluded that "a failure to adjust U.S. strat-egy would increase the risk that Al Qaeda will launchanother 'raid' on the United States, this time perhapswith weapons of mass destruction.

"For the last several years, Al Qaeda's priority hasbeen to bleed the United States in Afghanistan andIraq. Striking on U.S. soil has been a lesser goal. If AlQaeda survives, however, sooner or later it will attackthe U.S. homeland again."

Is Al Qaeda more likely to hit America again if theU.S. stays the course in Iraq and defeats the jihadists --which it might do under the Petraeus strategy? Or, ifthe U.S. turns tail and retreats? With Bush discredited,it looks as though the United States will take thedefeatist risk.

Plagiarism discoveredTo the Editor: We recently discovered something very

sad and disheartening here at MendocinoCollege; we learned that one of the piecesproduced in our Fifth Annual Festival ofNew Plays was not written by the studentwho submitted it. “5000 Cigarettes” was infact penned by a professional playwright,Alex Broun under the title “10,000Cigarettes.” We are writing to publiclyapologize for this unfortunate incident, andto communicate to readers that we takeplagiarism very seriously, as artists and asteachers.

We take tremendous pride in the festival- in its ability to affirm the work of localwriters and bring together so many talentedindividuals working on a mutual labor oflove. While this plagiarized play does notdiminish the contributions of past or pre-sent participants, it does represent a darksmudge in the festival’s history. It tells usthat one of our students disregarded theownership earned by a fellow writer - hestepped in and claimed that work as hisown. Plagiarism is stealing someone else’shard-earned authorship, and that is some-thing we need to take a strong standagainst.

For our part, as artistic director and dra-maturge - as teachers - we apologize fornot having discovered this sooner. We urgeall of our students to take pride in theirown creations - to labor at making thembetter - rather than claiming credit for thework of others.

Thank youTo the Editor:I’m writing today on behalf of the

Mendocino Environmental Center and theCloud Forest Institute to thank the manyorganizations that made last month’s EarthDay - United In Peace festival at AlexThomas Plaza a great success.

Our financial sponsors - Frey Vineyards,Hydro Pacific, Advance Power,Performance Coatings, and Lynda McClure- provided the seed money and the confi-dence to move forward. The UkiahBrewing Company donated the venue forthe evening dance, with music byRootstock and the Alexis Harte Band.Jenny and Alida Burnstad of CFI providedthe organizational backbone and lined upthe entertainment. Our posters weredesigned by Jade West and produced byBill Thornsby and Sid Cooperrider. Andgiant kudos go out to Govinda Dalton andEarthcycles Radio for providing the soundand webcasting in the face of a daylongrain.

There were many community organiza-tions who set up booths at the festival: TheFord Street Project, Plowshares, The Cityof 10,000 Buddhas, Ukiah Natural Foods,Ukiah Co-Housing, Greater UkiahLocalization Project, Institute for SolarLiving, Mendocino Underground FeministFront, and the Bahai. Special thanks toTami Turner and her Ukiah High Schoolstudents for providing the most informativebooth about conservation and the benefitsof recycling. And blessings to Sister JaneKelly, who asked the Supreme Being togive us strength, and Rabbi Shashana, wholed us in a shalom (peace) chant to the four

compass points.Music was provided by the Mendocino

Drummers, The Frey Band, CommonVision, vibes legend Oliver Shearer, TheRaging Grannies, Ede Morris, and Woozleand Acorn. The Tree of Life MontessoriSchool’s student modern dance perfor-mance dazzled the crowd. And theNepalese Dancers were such an inspiringfinale that they were called back as thecrowd joined in.

Earth Day - United In Peace was meantto show the connection between environ-mental stewardship and the fate of humani-ty. Preserving the Earth, reducing depen-dence on oil, encouraging economic local-ization, nurturing the body, mind, and spirit- these are all peaceful acts and help reduceconflict. Whether inspired by experience,philosophy, or religious beliefs, all can jointogether and support each other in thegreatest of human efforts.

Thanks to everyone for coming out andshowing your support.

Suggestions for the cityTo the Editor:We are a group of concerned citizens

with an interest in issues related to theCity’s Sewer Lateral Testing Program. Asthe City considers how to implement theProgram, we would like to suggest twooptions that would make it operate morefairly and effectively. The main points ofour position are as follows:

1) The City is responsible for the cost tomaintain the sewer street lateral.

2) A geographic testing approach issuperior to a point of sale approach.

We are of the opinion that the City musttake responsibility and ownership over thestreet laterals, and we point to Section 9 ofthe Participation Agreement between theCity and the Sanitation District dated July19, 1995 in support of this contention. Thatsection reads in its entirety:

CITY shall operate, maintain, and repairDISTRICT’s sewage collection system,including all sewer mains and laterals con-structed within the DISTRICT as part of itssewer collection system. CITY shall main-tain the system in good repair, and shallmake all required repairs within a reason-able period of time. As part of its obliga-tion under this Agreement, CITY shall con-struct all required sewer laterals for newconnections from the nearest main to theproperty line. If a subdivider is required toinstall sewer lines as a condition of the

subdivision’s approval, CITY shall berequired to inspect the construction ofthose lines to insure compliance with DIS-TRICT standards, but CITY shall not berequired to construct the lines or contractfor their construction.

We believe that several points are raisedby the above-noted section of theAgreement. First, the first sentence statesthat it is the City’s responsibility to main-tain sewage mains and laterals that are apart of the District’s sewage collection sys-tem. Given the amount of infiltration fromthe City and Sanitation District’s sewagecollection systems, it appears that theselines have not been maintained in properworking order.

That section further requires the City tomaintain its system in good repair. Mosttelling, however, is the sentence thatrequires the City to install new street later-als from the City main to an owner’s prop-erty line. This section provides that streetlaterals are the City’s responsibility, whileside laterals are the property owner’sresponsibility.

Accordingly, our first request is for theCity to recognize its responsibility, acceptownership of its street laterals, and main-tain and repair these at the City’s cost. Webelieve that the City’s responsibility endsat the property line, where it shifts to theproperty owner.

Since property owners are responsiblefor the sewer laterals on their private prop-erty, our second request is that the cityimplement a geographic approach, ratherthan a point of sale approach, for these sidelaterals. We believe a geographic testingapproach is fair and reasonable to propertyowners because it sets a schedule so thatthey know what to expect. In addition, thisapproach would lead to the repair of dam-aged portions of the sewage collection sys-tem in a systematic and controlled manner,which addresses the infiltration problem asa whole, rather than the piecemeal mannerof the point of sale approach. Indeed, theSanitation District is headed towards sucha geographic approach and discussed theimplementation of a trial area at its meet-ing on April 25.

We ask that the City discuss the meritsof a geographic approach at its workshopon May 7, and weigh the burdens and ben-efits of this approach against the point ofsale approach. Thank you for considerationof our requests.

The Daily JournalCoach Ronnie Haydon and

his Valley Paving North UkiahLittle League team endedLittle Caesar’s undefeatedseason with an 8-5 victorySaturday.

On the very first pitch ofthe game, Paul Steliga hit abullet down the third base linefor a double. Devin Hendry,Devin Thompson and ShaneMedeiros all followed Steligawith three base hits in a rowand two early runs.

Wyatt Haydon would sacri-fice in the third and final runin the top half of the firstinning for Valley Paving.Little Caeser's answered rightback with three runs of theirown with base hits fromDylan Lancaster, AnthonyMcCarthy, and Tano Garza, aswell as walks from Freddie

Wilson, Cory Bush andGarrett Johnson ending theinning in a three to three tieand the beginning of a knockdown, drag out dog fight tothe end.

In the second inningAlishua Johnson led off witha hard hit single and Steligaand crew went right back towork.

After Steliga's second hit inas many at bats Devin Hendrywould bash a triple scoringJohnson and Steliga. DevinThompson would sacrifice inwhat would be a secondstraight three-run inning forValley Paving.

Medeiros and AlexRodriguez would also recordbase hits but would be strand-ed on base do to great pitchingfrom Tano Garza and toughdefense from the entire LittleCaeser's squad. LittleCaeser's were able to pound ina run in their half of the inningdue to a triple off the bat ofGarza who stole home on apassed ball. The pizza menheld off the paving attack inthe third and tied the game atfive apeice after three innings.

This would be all the scor-ing Little Caeser's would be

allowed by Valley Paving asShane Medeiros and PaulSteliga would pitch an out-standing game allowing justone more hit in the sixthinning. Valley Paving scoredanother two runs in the fourthand that would be all the scor-ing this game would see. Thebattle gave Valley Paving awell-deserved victory. Allwho came to watch were treat-ed to one of the most excitinggames of the season.

Manager Glen Steliga andcoaches Ronnie Haydon andDerek Hendry couldn't be anyprouder of their young teamthan they were today. “Justwhen you think you've seen asmuch as these kids can give,they reach back inside them-selves and amaze you overand over again. I'm beginning

Ukiah ends season indramatic fashion atNCS ChampionshipBy ROBERT MURDOCKFor The Daily Journal

Ukiah, playing in the NorthCoast Section Championshipgame for the first time,

couldn't come up with the timely hitsand lost 2-0 to four-time NCS cham-pions Casa Grande.

The Cat's had their chances, butjust couldn't capitalize. In a mistakefree game -- no errors by either team-- where both teams had 6 hits apiece it came down to the sixthinning in a 0 to 0 tied game. MattEspinosa pitched another great gameonly to come away with a loss. Matthad 5 strike outs and walked only 1batter. The first 2 batters in the bot-tom of the sixth were retired rathereasily, the number 3 hitter singledthen back to back doubles pushedacross 2 runs for Casa Grande, andwhen the Cat's went 1-2-3 in the topof the seventh, Casa was NCSChampions for the forth season in arow.

When it's all said and done theWild Cat's will reflect back and seewhat an outstanding year they had,Ukiah varsity baseball went wherenone before them had tread. Theseniors Chad Bunting, RickyPowers, Avery Cooper, Ty Murdock,Andrew Brown, Jeff Harpe, AlexJahn, Logan Basner and MattEspinosa, will miss you all andthanks for the fantastic year!

A foundation has been laid and

hopefully Ukiah will continue toplay team baseball and return to theNCS finals year-in and year-out.The athletes are here in our deepvalley and it's nice to see themaccomplish what this baseball teamdid.

Another large crowd followed thelocal nine to Santa Rosa Jr. College,along with parents and a great groupof student body that showed up andgave their support. This team has areturning nucleus and with new teammembers can repeat next year. Iwould hope the community wouldget behind them so that Ukiah canbecome the Casa Grande of thenorth.

It's been a real pleasure to writeabout this special team, I'm off tobegin my withdrawls.

aides. It's legal, so long ascampaign work is done duringnon-work hours, but generallyfrowned upon.

State staffers typically takeleaves of absence if they'reworking extensively on cam-paigns. Former Gov. GrayDavis forbade his state aidesfrom moonlighting.

Last year, SchwarzeneggerChief of Staff Susan Kennedyearned more from campaigncoffers filled with corporatecontributions -- $167,500 --than she received from herstate salary of $131,412.(Because Kennedy went offthe state payroll for about amonth, she actually earned$121,506.)

Schwarzenegger communi-cations director AdamMendelsohn received $87,666for his efforts on the gover-nor's re-election and inauguralcelebration, beyond his$123,252 state salary.Personal assistant ClayRussell earned $72,000 oncampaign work, in addition tohis $75,000 state salary.Senior Adviser Daniel Zingalereceived a $50,000 campaignbonus, aside from his$123,252 salary.

“They worked long hourson their state jobs,” saidspokesman McLear, speakingon behalf of the senior aides.“And on nights and weekends,they would go and work on

the campaign.”The aides filed monthly

time cards for the state. Theyweren't required to tally hoursworked on the campaign.

That's “very troubling” toJudy Nadler, a senior fellow atthe Markkula Center forApplied Ethics at Santa ClaraUniversity. “The public does-n't actually know when you'reon the meter and when you'renot.”

The governor has defendedthe arrangement, saying thataides are not paid with cam-paign donations from outsidesources, but rather from con-tributions made bySchwarzenegger to himself.McLear said “we don't antici-pate” paying staffers fromcampaign coffers again, but hedid not categorically rule itout.

On the state side,Schwarzenegger has alsoboosted salaries.

In January 2005, 24employees of the governor'sstaff earned $100,000 ormore, according to recordskept by the controller's office.A year later, 28 did. At thestart of this year, 35 employ-ees, or roughly one in fivegovernor's office employees,earned six figures. Another 21aides made between $90,204

and $99,504.Schwarzenegger's first

chief of staff, Pat Clarey, wasknown as tight-fisted onsalaries, especially sinceSchwarzenegger was electedto remedy a huge deficit.Current aides take a differenttack.

“What they're trying to dois do more with less people,”said spokesman McLear, whosays all salary adjustments are“budget-neutral.” That is,they're offset by leaving somepositions vacant.Schwarzenegger's refusal ofhis own six-figure salary alsofrees up cash for others.

“That allows us to pay thesalaries we need to attract thebest and brightest.”

McLear also stresses that“many people on the gover-nor's staff could be makingtwo or three times more” else-where.

Governor's office staffersare due to receive raises thisyear, too. It's unclear how bigthey'll be and who will getthem. Given financial -- andpolitical -- considerations, theraises are unlikely to be grant-ed before a new state budget isadopted later this summer.

By law, the chief of staff'ssalary cannot exceed that ofthe highest paid cabinet secre-

tary, currently $225,000.Everyone else could theoreti-cally earn as much as directorsof big state departments, or$169,500.

Additionally, the governorhas continued the longstand-ing practice of rewardingcampaign aides with state jobsor granting them big raiseswhen they return to state ser-vice. More than 20 formercampaign staffers now workon the state payroll, includingseveral twenty-somethingsearning $70,000 or more.

Former publicist Lisa Pagewas 26 when she got her firststate job -- deputy communi-cations director -- earning$85,000. Page served the gov-ernor's campaign as a senioradviser for communications.

Jeffrey Wyly was also 26when he was appointed to a$75,000 job as an assistantsecretary of the state laboragency. That's a 37 percentraise from what he earnedworking in the labor agencyuntil last May, $54,696.

Another former campaignaide, 25, became a deputydirector of the state lottery($72,500); a 28-year-old is anassistant communicationsdirector in the governor'soffice ($77,682).

No one doubts the deputies'

skills, but the salaries havefloored people inside and out-side the administration.

Senior aides can reasonablyargue that their skills wouldfetch far more in the businessworld, said oneSchwarzenegger loyalist, whospoke on condition ofanonymity for fear of antago-nizing the governor. As foryounger staffers, “it's not as ifthe salaries are comparable towhat they could be makingoutside, doing somethingelse.”

Schwarzenegger “saw a lotof these folks, up close andpersonal, in the campaign,” hesaid. “And he wanted to makesure we had the cream of thecrop working to implementhis vision.”

Nonetheless, the overalltrend worries some outsiders.

“Money is not the issuewhen you go to work for thestate of California becauseyou're working for the peo-ple,” said Bill Whalen ofStanford's Hoover Institutionand a former staffer to Gov.Pete Wilson. “If you want tobe a capitalist, work for theprivate sector.”

When riled up or in danger,the slime eel generously emitsa defensive slime, an effectivedefense against predators.

If it's not exactly a delicacyin Korea -- it has its propo-nents like those who like say,jalapeño poppers or raw oys-ters -- the older generationlikes it barbecued, fried orbroiled, backed up by soju, thenation's most popular booze.

The demand for hagfish isgreater than what Korea cansupply from its own waters,and it taps Japanese, WestCoast and East Coast fisheriesto make up the difference. Thevast majority comes frozen toKorea, where the primary useis for its skin, out of whichwallets and similar items aremade. The frozen fish is alsoeaten, but a fresher productlike that being shipped out byCarvalho is expected to bemore sought after.

“This is the strangest soulfood I've ever seen,” Carvalhosaid.

Just because it's strangedoesn't mean it isn't viable.Humboldt Bay fisherman D.Ray Pemberton is a single dadwho can't afford months awayfrom home to fish for salmon.He and some other fishermenhad heard that there may be amarket for live hagfish, andasked Carvalho about the pos-sibility.

Pemberton was used tohagfish as a nuisance when hefished for black cod. Left onthe hook too long, black codcan be susceptible to slimeeels which can work their wayinside a fish through its gillsor anus and eat them from theinside out. But their attraction

to dead or dying fish makesthe hagfish easy to trap.

Simple 5-gallon bucketstied on with biodegradablecotton are baited with an oilyfish like mackerel or blackcod. The buckets are strungalong a line sunk to the bot-tom. The eels swim in butcan't swim out. The HumboldtBay fishermen have learnedhow to do it from an out-of-the-area fisherman who hasfor years been catching andfreezing hagfish to be sent toAsia to be used as a leatherproduct. He delivered a loadto Carvalho last week.

The opportunity Pembertonsees is tempered by a smidgenof skepticism.

“There's some anticipa-tion,” Pemberton said.“Fishermen are very empiri-cal. They believe what theysee.”

Humboldt Bay was part ofa network of ports that fishedfor hagfish during its heyday.The West Coast fishery gotstarted in the late 1980s,specifically for hagfish skins.California landed 4.3 millionpounds in 1990, the peak year.The fish could only be import-ed duty-free to tanneries, andto even trade Korea wasrequired to ship back an equalvalue in fish leather products.

But in 1994, the G7 forcedKorea to take the fish for con-sumption too, Chu said. It wasa limited market, and whileanyone could import the fishfor consumption, it came witha 10 percent duty.

The fish leather marketbegan to flounder when itbecame apparent that manyPacific hagfish had inferiorskins. Buyers looked to theEast Coast, whose hagfishskins were of higher quality.The Atlantic-side fishery nowsupplies 80 percent of the

market.Chu and his business part-

ner began exploring the poten-tial for a live fish market threeyears ago. Despite the fish'sdifferent texture and colorfrom the long-eaten Koreaneel variety, older Koreansenjoyed the fish. The marketfor live hagfish may absorb132,000 pounds a month, Chusaid, enough to make a fisheryfor Humboldt Bay.

To keep the fishery stablewill require consistently goodservice and high quality,Carvalho said.

The freight costs far out-weigh the cost of the product,but it doesn't benefit anyone ifthe fish don't arrive in Seoulas fresh as possible. The hag-fish need to be kept alive for40 hours to make the journeyin good condition, tucked intothe Styrofoam boxes whichhold about 50 pounds of eelseach.

“It's up to us to do a goodjob of getting these thingsacross the puddle alive,”Carvalho said.

The hagfish is one of themost primitive vertebratesalive, existing on an evolu-tionary cusp. Scientistshaven't made up their mindsabout whether they are actual-ly fish. Generally about 18inches long, they resemblelamprey.

It was dubbed the slime eel

for a defensive mechanism bywhich it releases through itspores a protein that binds withwater, generating largeamounts of slime. When thedanger is passed, the creatureties itself in an overhand knotand slides it down the lengthof its body, peeling away theslime.

Unlike lamprey hagfishenter dead or dying fishthrough existing openings,eating them from the insideout.

“It's a little gruesome,” saidCalifornia Sea Grant advisorPeter Nelson. “You couldprobably build a little sci-fiflick around it.”

For the most part hagfisheat small invertebrates theyfind by nosing around in themud on the sea floor. Muddybottom is common off theNorth Coast, and some of thesame areas that holdDungeness crab also supporthagfish. They usually livebetween 40 and 200 fathoms,or 240 to 1,200 feet.

to the writ.“Local legislations in con-

flict with general law is void,”according to the writ.

Mendocino CountyCounsel Jeanine Nadel saidthe ordinance allows ownersto surrender animals to animalcontrol to be euthanized anddoes contradict state law.

“It is my understandingthat section has not been inuse for quite some time,”Nadel said.

McLellan is asking thecourt to enjoin the countyfrom euthanizing animalsbefore the state-mandatedwaiting period expires,

declare the county ordinancevoid and order the county andanimal control to comply withall state laws.

He is also seeking compen-sation for his legal fees aswell as any other relief thecourt feels is justified, accord-ing to the writ.

Nadel said she is currentlyworking on an amendment tothe county ordinance thatwould remove the portion thatallows the waiting period tobe waved.

“I hope to have an amend-ed proposal to the board in acouple of weeks that wouldrender the case moot,” shesaid.

RELAY FOR LIFE SCHEDULE

Welcome to the2007 PatDenny/Inland

Mendocino CountyAmerican Cancer SocietyRelay for Life.

Relay for Life is a com-munity-based annualfundraiser for the AmericanCancer Society, but it’s somuch more. Anyone who’sever been to a Relay forLife knows that it’s aninspiring event that bringscommunities together todefeat a disease that doesnot discriminate. It strikesyoung and old, male andfemale, race is no barrier.

The American CancerSociety uses funds raised tofurther research, supportpatients and educate thepublic in methods of pre-vention and early detection.It is the largest, non-profit,non-government agency inthe world to continuallyprovide funds for cancerresearch.

So why do we Relay? Simply put: it’s because

we can - and we do it forthose who can’t. We’veboth been active in previ-ous Relays for Life asbackground support volun-teers, and last year we par-ticipated as event co-chairs.And we’re glad we did. Itwas an immensely reward-ing labor of love and wellworth every minute ofplanning to see the commu-nity join together to cele-brate life and to continuethe fight against cancer.We’re proud to say wejoined in the efforts duringthe 2006 Relay for Life -which raised over $125,000for the American CancerSociety.

This is our second yearas event co-chairs andwe’ve signed on as team

members as well to add toour repertoire. But Relayfor Life isn’t the only wayto join the fight. There aremany ways to volunteerwith the American CancerSociety: become a driverfor the Road to Recoveryprogram; aid in the LookGood-Feel Better program;or joining in the manyadvocacy programs.

One need not be person-ally affected by cancer -whether it be a loved oneor friend being diagnosed,fighting or having lost theirfight with cancer. This dis-ease plays no favorites -and the battle against itshould be fought by all.

Join us in making a dif-ference - do it for yourself,your loved ones, yourfriends, your community -but please join us in thisfight. Do it because some-one you know has cancer,has survived cancer, haslost their fight with cancer,you’ll be glad you did.

Relay for LIFE is anopportunity to recognizeour community survivorsand support those still bat-tling their disease. It’s acelebration, a remembranceand a renewal of hope.

We welcome you toRelay for Life and thankyou for taking a standagainst cancer. Our heart-felt thanks to all the volun-teers, staff, and communityfor your help, your hardwork, and support in thisyear’s event. You areamong millions of peoplewho fight this battle atRelay for Life eventsacross the globe and thereísno finish line until there’s acure.

With sincerest thanksand the highest hopes,

Jennifer Pittman andTrish Beltrami

This lap is a tribute tothose who have fought thefight and won. Cancer sur-vivors from all over the com-munity are encouraged to joinus in a celebration of theirvictory. The survivor’s lapwill begin directly after theopening ceremony, 10 a.m.Saturday, June 30.

Luminaria Ceremony: Theluminaria ceremony is heldafter dark to honor cancer

survivors and to rememberthose who have lost their bat-tle to cancer.

TheLuminaria ceremony beginsat 9 p.m. Saturday, June 30.

Why we do itFew things are as devastat-

ing as dealing with cancer.The courage, dignity andspirit of those fighting thedisease is both inspirationaland humbling. You can makea difference now and in thefuture!

Why do we hold a Relay?

Five years ago, at age 10, JeremyAndrews had a very close friendand classmate, Skylar (also age 10)die of cancer.

That summer while his familyworked on Luminarias during theAmerican Cancer Society’s RelayFor Life, Jeremy told his mom,“I’ve made a decision, I need to runfor Skylar.” He wanted to make adifference.

The following year he puttogether a team of 12 kids, ages 9-17, most of whom had beentouched personally by cancer. Twosisters on the team had just losttheir 12-year-old sister; one team

member had lost both of his grand-mothers that year; and nearly every-one on the team had either lost arelative or friend to cancer some-time in their life. Even as young asthey were, the team raised over$6,000 for the event, making themthe number one team. A year later,this young team raised over $4,000(missing the No. 1 spot by a mere$20!). This year, Jeremy’s team“Knights Against Cancer” is at itagain. This team’s motto is “KidsCan Make a Difference.” Thesekids are definitely showing thatthey do!

Relay For Life represents the

hope that those lost to cancer willnever be forgotten, that those whoface cancer will be supported, andthat one day, cancer will be elimi-nated. Teams and sponsors are stillneeded for the 2007 Relay for Lifewhich will take place at Eagle PeakMiddle School, June 30 and July 1,beginning at 10 a.m. Contact yourAmerican Cancer Society at 707-462-7642, ext 3 for additionalinformation.

Luminaria? A Luminaria is simply a bag filled with sand,and a small candle that makes it glow. Each Luminariabears the name of a person who has battled cancer.Right before the Luminaria Ceremony, we light all the

candles. As they burn into the night they light the way forthe walkers: a path of hope. Please fill out the form

Tuesday, June 5, 2007

You could finally reapbenefits from seeds youplanted a long time ago. Anumber of situations thatlooked as if they had failedcould take root now andsuddenly sprout beautifulblossoms.

GEMINI (May 21-June20) — If you haven’tlearned it yet, the best wayyou can turn around a situ-ation that appears to begoing nowhere is to sugar-coat the hard points withtouches of tact, humor andcharm.

CANCER (June 21-July22) — Be helpful to others,especially with those whoare having problems. Kindgestures will make indeli-ble impressions that will be

remembered long afteryou’ve forgotten all aboutthem.

Cruise On InTO THE CLASSIFIEDS

Dear Annie: My 10-year-old daughter,“Paulina,” is complaining about a class motherbullying her. Paulina said this woman elbowedher once when no one was around, and anothertime, while dishing out hot lunches, she gavemy daughter less than the others and purposelyslammed a door in her face.

This woman’s daughter is in the same gradeas Paulina and has done similar things. I spoketo the principal and asked that the girls be sep-arated. He agreed, although the school staff isnot on top of the situation. They think thiswoman is wonderful, but I know she is manip-ulative and I have heard her lie.

It’s OK that this woman doesn’t like mydaughter, but it is an abuse of power for her totreat my child like this. I have no proof of whatshe is doing, and the school might not take myside. How can I protect my daughter? --Honolulu Mom

Dear Mom: There’s not much you can doover the summer, but when school is back in

session, return to the principal and insist that,proof or not, your daughter needs to be pro-tected. The woman should be told to keep herdistance from Paulina, even if the only reasonis because she makes the girl nervous. Thenspeak to Paulina and tell her to steer clear asmuch as possible, or have friends around. If thewoman elbows her or slams a door in her face,Paulina should yell “OW!” as loudly as possi-ble and attract some attention. TeachingPaulina to stand up for herself will be good forher confidence -- and a nuisance to the bully.

Dear Annie: Recently, while reading thepaper, my wife came across the obituary of mystepfather. Talk about a shock! My siblings didnot even include me in the family listing of sur-

vivors. I was devastated and angry.When I called my sister, she said these were

our stepfather’s wishes, because I had “desert-ed the family.” I admit I haven’t been aroundmuch, but with good reason. Thirty years ago,I was in the Army. When I came home forMom’s funeral, my stepfather shunted me offto relatives in another town. It was all downhillfrom there.

After my discharge, I lived in another state,married and had three great kids. I kept in con-tact with my family and visited occasionally,but they never saw my home, despite frequentinvitations. I moved back to their town 13years ago. Not one of them called or came by.When my stepfather saw me on the street, heacted as if he didn’t know me.

In my stepdad’s will, I was given $100,while my siblings got thousands. Do I havegrounds to sue them? -- Hurting in Brevard,N.C.

Dear Hurting: Maybe, but you might notwin. And even if you did, it won’t make up forthe pain of knowing your stepfather and sib-lings cut you out of the family. If you want to

sue, talk to a lawyer about the details, but eitherway, please get some short-term counseling tohelp you make peace with the situation.

Dear Annie: My aunt wears perfume, and itis so strong, it almost makes me choke. I amnot sure she can smell it. I’m afraid to tell herabout the odor, as it will strain our relationship.

Let people know there is a difference instrength between eau de toilette and perfume,and with perfume, a little dab is all you need. -- Choking in Memphis

Dear Choking: Your aunt’s sense of smellmay not be as acute as it once was, and it couldtake a lot of perfume for her to notice that she’sput on enough. Tell your aunt that you’vebecome very sensitive to chemical odors, andyou’re asking all your friends to wear lesswhen you’re around. You could even buy her asmall bottle of her favorite scent in an eau detoilette or body lotion to make it easier.
