At 7 a.m. Wednesday, the picketlines went up and with signs, red T-shirts and noise makers, theMendocino County Public AttorneysAssociation went, loudly, on strike infront of the Mendocino CountySuperior Court House.

“We have 100 percent of our mem-bership picketing,” said MCPAAPresident and Deputy DistrictAttorney Matthew Finnegan.

Finnegan said members were alsopicketing at the Ten Mile and Willitsbranches of the court.

“This isn’t beneficial to anyone,said County CEO Al Beltrami. “Itisn’t beneficial to the county, it isn’tbeneficial to the employees, it isn’tbeneficial to the courts and it isn’tbeneficial to the public.”

Beltrami said the county is hopingthe strike will only last a few days.

“I’m hopeful talks will resumeonce they’ve made their point,” hesaid.

“We’ll be on strike until we get afair contract,” Finnegan said.

The MCPAA, which represents theMendocino County DistrictAttorney’s Office, the PublicDefenders Office, the AlternateDefenders Office and the ChildSupport Attorney’s Office, has beenthreatening to strike since the unionput the issue to a vote Feb. 1.

The union voted 28-0, with threemembers absent, to go on strike any-time after Feb. 28 if it did not receivean acceptable contract.

Union members in red shirts stoodat every corner of the courthouseWednesday, waving signs and shout-ing through a bullhorn. Several gath-ered under the third-story window ofcourtroom H, one of the two court-rooms open that day.

Their enthusiasm remainedundampened, even as a light rainbegan to fall in the afternoon.

The county and the MCPAA nego-tiated late into the night Tuesday, try-ing to hammer out a contract thatwould be acceptable to both sides andavoid a strike.

“Last night in negotiations, theysaid if we are on strike they’re notnegotiating,” Finnegan said. “Theywalked away from the table as far asI’m concerned.”

Beltrami said he disagreed thecounty “walked away from the table,”but said it will not negotiate with theMCPAA while the union is on strike.

“You can’t have it both ways,” hesaid.

While unable to discuss a specificcontract, Joseph Martinelli, a trusteerepresentative with the Teamstersunion, with whom the MCPAA isaffiliated, said the MCPAA made anoffer that would bring salaries to 93percent of the average in the sur-rounding five counties.

Beltrami said he could not speak toany offers made by either side.

According to the MCPAA, attor-neys in the county are paid between16 percent and 45 percent less thanpublic attorneys in the five surround-ing counties.

The county has said it is raisingsalaries toward that average to theextent it is fiscally responsible to doso.

In addition to MCPAA members,many of the court’s clerks and sup-port staff, who are represented by theService Employees InternationalUnion, were also not at work onWednesday, having refused to cross aTeamsters picket line, said SEIUmember Ruby Clark.

“I’m supporting my fellowTeamsters,” Clark said outside thecourthouse. “You don’t cross the lineif you’re supporting your sisters andbrothers.”

In a letter to their members sent outon Monday, the SEIU said any unionmember who chose not to cross the

picket line would be considered to be“engaging in protected activity,”although the SEIU is not itself onstrike.

Clark said there are more than 60SEIU members working at the court-house.

“So far, over 90 percent have notcrossed,” she said.

The court employee division of theSEIU is still in negotiations with thecounty seeking its own labor contract.Clark said the union has filed a com-plaint against the county for unfair

State officials planto meet in Willitsin April on issueBy KATIE MINTZThe Daily Journal

Since the CaliforniaTransportation Commissiondecided last week to denyfunding for the Willits bypass,local agencies have been busyresponding.

On Monday, the regionaltransportation planning agen-cy, the Mendocino Council ofGovernments approved a res-olution in protest of the deci-sion to deny $177 million forthe bypass’ construction.

On Tuesday, the Mendoci-no County Board of Supervi-sors weighed its options,which included potentiallypursuing an investigation intoan alleged open meeting actviolation.

“No one who was there,even anybody uninitiated inthe public process, couldcome away from there notknowing that the decision wasnot made at that meeting,”MCOG Executive DirectorPhil Dow said Tuesday of theFeb. 28 CTC meeting inIrvine. “It was just so wellorchestrated.”

The Bagley-Keene OpenMeeting Act, which governsmeeting access for state agen-cies, requires decisions to bemade in a noticed publicmeeting, but Dow said beforethe Feb. 28 meeting evenbegan he was told by morethan one person that it was allover for the bypass.

According to Dow, whoattended the meeting withWillits Mayor TamiJorgensen, the nine-member,governor-appointed commis-sion started the hearing onallocating the $4.5 billionCorridor MobilityImprovement Account of avoter-approved transportationbond with discussion on theWillits bypass.

“There was a motion madeto deny funding for the Willitsbypass project by a commis-sioner (Jeremiah Hallisey)who was being replaced thenext day -- it was his last dayon the commission -- and itwas seconded by the othercommissioner (EstebanTorres) who it was his last dayon the commission,” Dowsaid.

Supervisor John Pinchessaid he believes it’s clear theopen meeting act was violat-ed.

“It was real clear, I think toeverybody, that the deal wasdone at the cocktail party theTuesday night before,”Pinches said.

As reported by the LosAngeles Times, commission-ers attended a cocktail party inIrvine sponsored by theOrange CountyTransportation Authority andpaid for by private road con-tractors and engineeringfirms, complete with an open

bar and appetizers, the nightbefore the meeting.

CTC Executive DirectorJohn F. Barna Jr., however,said the reception, like anytime more than four commis-sioners are in one place, wasproperly noticed and open tothe public.

Barna, who did not attendthe reception, said that at thecommission’s Feb. 20 meet-ing, where it was requestedthat staff revise its list of rec-

Localvendorsto get a5% edgeBy KATIE MINTZThe Daily Journal

The MendocinoCounty Board ofSupervisors recentlyapproved a county pur-chasing policy that givespreference to local ven-dors.

Language for the pur-chasing, leasing andcontracting policy stillneeds to be written andincorporated into countycode, but its provisionsare expected to takeeffect July 1, the begin-ning of the fiscal year,according to KristinMcMenomey, interimdirector of the GeneralServices Agency, whichprovides technical ser-vices to county depart-ments.

Along with changesthat give departmentsmore authority to makepurchases, the policyspecifies that bids fromlocal vendors that fallwithin 5 percent of thelowest bid will be givenpreference.

“Bidding is supposedto be open to everybody,but the idea behind thelocal preference is thatyour local businessesand suppliers and ven-dors are local taxpayersand there should besome recognition ofthat,” Chief ExecutiveOfficer Al Beltrami said.

Beltrami said heasked McMenomey,who began work on thepolicy update in early2006 as a deputy CEO,to incorporate a localpreference after hearingfrom local business peo-

ple that they weren’t receivingmuch county business.

According to McMenomey,every year, the county workswith several hundred vendorsto buy everything from officesupplies to county vehiclesand numerous other services.

“I think it’s a tremendousbenefit for the county to beginto purchase locally and have alittle more consideration forour local contractors and ven-dors,” McMenomey said.

Greater Ukiah Chamber ofCommerce CEO Bert Mosieragreed, adding that the cham-ber strongly supports the poli-cy.

“I’ve worked in govern-ments that have adopted thesepolicies and I think they arevery useful because theyallow the tax dollars to staywithin our own community,”Mosier, who started with the

chamber in December, said.McMenomey noted there is

a local preference in the cur-rent policy, but it does notspecify a percentage or howthe program should work.

The new policy articulatesthat all bids and requests forproposals will be evaluatedwith a 5 percent preference forlocal vendors, excluding onlyPublic Works constructionprojects and contracts pre-cluded by state law or otherlaw or regulation.

To be considered local, avendor must have an officewith a physical address withinthe county, hold a valid busi-ness license issued by thecounty and have been in oper-ation for more than sixmonths.

McMenomey said a proce-dural manual and mandatorytraining workshops for indi-viduals charged with makingpurchases within countydepartments will come alongwith the new policy.According to McMenomey,

the current policy does nothave a training mechanismand its implementation hasbeen plagued by staffturnover.

“It was time to revamp thepolicy and now we’ll be mov-ing forward,” McMenomey

said.She expects that language

codifying the new policy willbe brought before the boardfor approval at its April 3meeting.

The Daily Journal“Greater Tuna” opens at the Ukiah

Playhouse on March 15 and playsthrough April 7.

“Greater Tuna” is the hilariouscomedy about Texas’ third smallesttown, where the Lion’s Club is tooliberal and Patsy Cline never dies.

The eclectic citizens that make upthis town are portrayed by only twoperformers, making this satire on lifein rural America even more delightfulas they depict all of the inhabitants ofTuna -- men, women, children andanimals.

Produced by Ukiah PlayersTheatre, this production of “GreaterTuna” is directed by UPT co-founderBob Currier, taking a break from hisduties as artistic director for theMarin Shakespeare Festival.

The two actors playing all thoseroles, with all the incumbent cos-tume, wig and voice changes, areKeith Aisner and Bob Brumback.

Few shows have sustained thelongevity and popularity that“Greater Tuna” has enjoyed over theyears. The show began as a simpleparty skit based on a political cartoonmore than 20 years ago in Austin,Texas.

Talented creators Joe Sears, JastonWilliams and Ed Howard are theimaginative authors that parlayed thesketch into a critically acclaimed pro-duction which has entertained audi-ences ever since.

“Greater Tuna” played Off-Broadway for more than a year. It hasplayed in theaters across the UnitedStates as well as overseas, and hasbeen made into an HBO special.

The play’s run at the MarinesMemorial Theatre in San Franciscolasted a record breaking seven con-secutive years. The popularity of“Greater Tuna” has even extended tothe most distinguished home in the

country, with CommandPerformances at the White Houseupon the invitation of President andMrs. Bush in 1990 and again in 1991.

Tickets for the Ukiah Players pro-

duction of “Greater Tuna” are avail-able at Mendocino Book Company at102 S. School St. in Ukiah, andthrough the UPT Box Office at 462-9226.

It was a casual conversa-tion between a man and hisson-in-law in Dallas monthsago that lead to the discoveryof unstudied footage of theday that John F. Kennedy, Jr.was assassinated. Amateurphotographer GeorgeJefferies casually mentionedthat he was in Dallas on theday JFK was shot and that hehad recorded 8mm footage ofthe parade which took placeover 40 years ago.

His son-in-law encouragedhim to make that footagecount. Gary Mack, the cura-tor of the Sixth FloorMuseum in Dallas, a desig-nated life and death of JFKspace, received the footageas a donation and was able todetermine that it was made90 seconds before the assas-

sination happened. A valu-able clue to an unsolved mys-tery was revealed and can beseen on www.jfk.org.

I mentioned the story tomy 65-year-old mother whoinformed me that my AuntBetty in New York has 8mmfootage of JFK visitingBatavia, NY, the town I wasborn in 40 years ago.Apparently, family membersgot together over the summerand had a viewing of thesehistorical homemade movies.

Now that I’ve made thisdiscovery, my next step is tofigure out how to update thefootage into a format moreaccessible and in sync withtoday’s technology. Those8mm movies need to be con-verted now to DVD or digital

movie files and then in yearsto come into whatever thenext popular movie format is.Perhaps this update in formatassignment belongs to yourfamily’s genealogist- thatone cousin who has the mostextensive collection of fami-ly photos and a map of thefamily tree. Or maybe eachfamily member should offerto digitize the photographsthey have in their possessionand then combine the collec-tion and make copies.

A hop and a jump fromUkiah resides long-sufferingand much maligned ClearLake, one of the most inter-esting bodies of water inNorth America, perhaps inthe world.

Just the fact that ClearLake has rested in the amplelap of what we now callLake County for at least amillion years is astonishing.Most lakes would have longsince succumbed to silt andbecome a wetlands or ameadow. Add the fact thatClear Lake is the largest nat-ural lake in California,throw in the astonishingquantity of life that it sup-ports, and you have the sub-ject of a fascinating lecture.

Such a lecture, “Mythsand Music for Clear Lake,”will be delivered by theentertaining and animatedDr. Harry Lyons onThursday, March 15, at theUkiah Civic Center, 7 p.m.Dr. Lyons is a professor of

biology at Yuba College’sClear Lake campus, wherehe is the senior faculty mem-ber and teaches biology,ecology, microbiology,physiology and statistics.His lecture will be illustratedon screen by overhead pro-jector. This program, whichis brought to you by

Peregrine Audubon Society,is free to the public, thoughdonations will be warmlyaccepted.

The myths addressed byDr. Lyons have nothing to dowith the large population ofNative Americans --arguably the largest in NorthAmerica -- that once inhabit-

ed the shores of the lake andpaddled its waters. Nor doesit have anything to do withCreation or Big Foot. No,this myth originated with thewhite settlers -- residents,developers, and tourism pro-moters -- who have alwayscarried an image of a differ-ent lake than the one they’vegot. These wishful thinkershope to make Clear Lakeover in Lake Tahoe’s image,with crystalline waters andsandy beaches.

The fact is, Clear Lake isnot now, has never been, andnever will be, clear. Dr.Lyons will tell us why, start-ing with the ancientcyanobacteria that occupythe bottom of Clear Lake’sfood chain and make thelake green. We will learnwhy “green is good” for theenormous population ofinsects, fish, amphibians,reptiles, mammals, birds,and (historically) humans ofClear Lake.

From the desk of...Supports attorneys

To the Editor:I am writing to express my support for

the public defenders and district attorneyswho are currently in negotiations with theCounty of Mendocino for an increase insalary and I hope this letter will give youinsight into their situation.

By way of background I worked as aDeputy Public Defender for MendocinoCounty from June 2005 to June 2006 andam currently employed by the Office of theFederal Public Defender in Fresno.

While working at the Public Defender’sOffice I came to know and appreciate mycolleagues in that office and our counter-parts at the District Attorney’s Office. Bothgroups are comprised of hardworking, tal-ented, and dedicated individuals who havesome of the most difficult jobs imaginable.This group of people are not only responsi-ble for representing the indigent peoplewho are accused of crimes but also thosewho are victimized by crime.

My experience in the MendocinoCounty Public Defender’s Office is typicalof those who came before me and thosewho succeeded me. I was hired as a newattorney fresh out of school by the PublicDefender, Wesley Hamilton. While in theoffice I gained invaluable experience as anattorney and was given opportunities that Iwould not have received in most othercounties. During my time with the office anumber of talented attorneys left for morelucrative positions in nearby counties. Infact, the turnover rate was so high my col-leagues would often get confused as towho in the office had worked with priorattorneys. In addition, because of this con-stant change clients would often commentto me “you are the third public defenderthat has been assigned to my case.” As mydays with the office continued I came togrow found of Ukiah and my colleaguesand counterparts.

However, after I gained one year ofexperience I was presented with a job offerthat was more lucrative than the county ofMendocino could offer me. With large stu-dent loan debts and other bills mounting Ifelt the new job offer was one I could notpass up. When I left the office my picturewas placed on a board with a number ofother attorneys who had also left the officefor better paying positions.

As I have not been back to MendocinoCounty in some time I do not know whatthe positions of the Public Defender andDistrict Attorney are regarding the negotia-tions for an increase in salary and I do notwant to put words in their mouths. Butfrom an administrative standpoint I imag-ine it must be incredibly frustrating to losetalented and experienced attorneys to near-by counties simply because those countiescan provide for a more substantial increasein salary, and then have to hire new attor-neys that will more likely than not leave ina short time as well. Moreover, it must bejust as difficult to tell those experiencedattorneys who have stayed that it is impos-sible to pay them the wage they would bereceiving in almost any other county inCalifornia.

The public defenders and district attor-neys provide a tremendous service to theCounty of Mendocino. All they are askingfor is to be paid a salary that is comparableto other counties in the state. An increasein their wages would allow the respectiveoffices to keep talented attorneys and pre-vent a tremendous turnover rate that hasplagued both offices. In short, please lendthem your support in their fight to be paidthe salary they deserve.

Stephen BetzFresno

To the Editor:I was a Public Defender in Mendocino

County for approximately 14 months. I leftMendocino County primarily because Iwas able to make $20,000 more a yeardoing the exact same job in Solano County.Both Solano and Mendocino are a fair dis-

tance from the heart of the San FranciscoBay Area, yet Mendocino County pays itsattorneys far less than other similarly situ-ated counties. If the cost of living inMendocino were substantially lower thanother counties, a lower salary might makesense. The reality is that food, rent/mort-gage, clothing, dry cleaning, etc. are alljust as expensive, if not more costly, inUkiah as compared to, say, Fairfield.

Mendocino County needs to recognizethat its attorneys can do the same workelsewhere and get paid substantially more.Mendocino’s beauty and unique characterare great, but they don’t mean that qualityattorneys will keep moving to Mendocinowithout a significant increase in attorneysalaries.

Rememberinga real builder

To the Editor:I’m going to sit down here and get

drunk on a cup of coffee and think aboutthe news I just heard on my answeringmachine, that Jim Lindstedt’s dead.

I’m not taking it personally. JimLindstedt had been around long enoughand built enough bridges and tunnels that if

he wanted to up and die in Portland nearhis daughter, then he could just up and doit. He didn’t owe nobody nothing.

They used to call him in on the tunneljobs and the bridge-building when half thejob was done and anybody with glassescould see it wasn’t going right. The tunnelwasn’t headed right.

It wasn’t that the one side was going tocome out in a mall parking lot, or anything.But it wasn’t going to meet up under themountain with the other half of the tunnel,either. So they’d call Jim in. He lined theone side up with some marker on themountain and said for them to go back toit. To the digging.

They came out -- the two halves of thetunnel -- 1/4 of an inch off.

After retiring from 37 years engineering,Jim kept the local chapter of Habitat forAmerica going. The local of Habitat forAmerica is off by a whole lot more than aquarter inch, I can tell you that. But that’sanother story.

This story is of Jim Lindstedt dying, andof how those of us who needed him tocome along when we were getting off andheading wrong, are going to miss him.

Goodbye Jim. Thanks.Bill Walls

Treasurer of the Mendocino Inlandchapter of Habitat for America

Letters from our readers

PAUL KRUGMAN

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

Paul Krugman joined The New York Times in1999 as a columnist on the Op-Ed Page andcontinues as Professor of Economics andInternational Affairs at Princeton University.

In our opinion

When Salon, the online magazine, reported on mis-treatment of veterans at the Walter Reed ArmyMedical Center two years ago, officials simply deniedthat there were any problems. And they initially triedto brush off last month’s expose in The WashingtonPost. But this time, with President Bush’s approval at29 percent, Democrats in control of Congress, andDonald Rumsfeld no longer defense secretary --Robert Gates, his successor, appears genuinely dis-tressed at the situation -- the whitewash didn’t stick.

Yet even now it’s not clear whether the public willbe told the full story, which is that the horrors ofWalter Reed’s outpatient unit are no aberration. For allits cries of “support the troops,” the Bush administra-tion has treated veterans’ medical care the same way ittreats everything else: nickel-and-diming the needy,protecting the incompetent, and privatizing everythingit can.

What makes this a particular shame is that in theClinton years, veterans’ health care -- like the FederalEmergency Management Agency -- became a shiningexample of how good leadership can revitalize a trou-bled government program. By the early years of thisdecade, the Veterans Health Administration was, bymany measures, providing the highest-quality healthcare in America. (It probably still is: Walter Reed is amilitary facility, not run by the VHA.)

But as with FEMA, the Bush administration hasdone all it can to undermine that achievement. And theWalter Reed scandal is another Hurricane Katrina: themoment when the administration’s misgovernmentbecame obvious to everyone.

The problem starts with money. The administrationuses carefully cooked numbers to pretend that it hasbeen generous to veterans, but the historical data con-tained in its own budget for fiscal 2008 tell the truestory. The quagmire in Iraq has vastly increased thedemands on the Veterans Administration, yet since2001 federal outlays for veterans’ medical care haveactually lagged behind overall national health spend-ing.

To save money, the administration has been charg-ing veterans for many formerly free services. Forexample, in 2005, Salon reported that some WalterReed patients were forced to pay hundreds of dollarseach month for their meals.

More important, the administration has brokenlongstanding promises of lifetime health care to thosewho defend our nation. Two months before the inva-sion of Iraq, the VHA, which previously offered careto all veterans, introduced severe new restrictions onwho is entitled to enroll in its health care system. Asthe agency’s Web site helpfully explains, veteranswhose income exceeds as little as $27,790 a year, andwho lack “special eligibilities such as a compensableservice connected condition or recent combat ser-vice,” will be turned away.

So when you hear stories of veterans who spendmonths or years fighting to get the care they deserve,trying to prove that their injuries are service-related,remember this: all this red tape was created not by theinherent inefficiency of government bureaucracy, butby the Bush administration’s penny-pinching.

But money is only part of the problem.We know from Hurricane Katrina postmortems that

one of the factors degrading FEMA’s effectivenesswas the Bush administration’s relentless push to out-source and privatize disaster management, whichdemoralized government employees and drove awaymany of the agency’s most experienced professionals.It appears that the same thing has been happening toveterans’ care.

The redoubtable Henry Waxman, chairman of theHouse Committee on Oversight and GovernmentReform, points out that IAP Worldwide Services, acompany run by two former Halliburton executives,received a large contract to run Walter Reed under sus-picious circumstances: the Army reversed the resultsof an audit concluding that government employeescould do the job more cheaply.

And Waxman, who will be holding a hearing on theissue on Monday, appears to have solid evidence,including an internal Walter Reed memo from lastyear, that the prospect of privatization led to a FEMA-type exodus of skilled personnel.

What comes next? Francis J. Harvey, who as far asI can tell was the first defense contractor appointedsecretary of the Army, has been forced out. But theparallels between what happened at Walter Reed andwhat happened to New Orleans -- not to mention par-allels with the mother of all scandals, the failed recon-struction of Iraq -- tell us that the roots of the scandalrun far deeper than the actions of a few bad men.

Valor and squalor

Water is, as predicted, becoming the criti-cal issue facing our economy in MendocinoCounty as two major stories this week haveshown.

In the first, the county is facing a seriousthreat to water supplies for irrigation andfrost protection in Potter Valley as well as adrastically reduced Lake Mendocino level, ifthe federal government’s instructions toPG&E to significantly reduce flow throughthe Potter Valley hydro project, and then intothe Russian River via Lake Mendocino aremaintained. Doing that, of course, benefitsthe Eel River and its fish, which has its ownlarge constituency north of us.

The flows through the PG&E Eel Riverdiversion have long been the subject ofstudy and controversy but it seems no onereally thought they would actually be cut toa point that would seriously affect localfarming or make a visible difference in LakeMendocino.

Next, the supervisors are looking intowhether an old contract with SonomaCounty gives Mendocino County somerights to the water now in Lake Sonoma tothe south of us.

Sonoma County Water Agency is hover-

ing more and more protectively over thewater it owns in Lake Mendocino - which ismost of it, due to a shortsighted MendocinoCounty Board of Supervisors decades agowhich decided not to invest in the new floodcontrol lake. Now, if we can show we shouldbe getting some of the Lake Sonoma water,it may help ease the pressure on water sup-plies that is fast building toward a completemoratorium on new development in thisarea.

Water supplies are going to dictate muchof our agricultural and development futurein this county. We need to sustain our agri-culture and we need positive growth to keepour community alive.

Finding more water - by storing more orsharing someone else’s - is certainly onepath. Conserving is another and we suspectmore can be done in that direction through-out the county. Perhaps along with lookingat finding water, our county water depart-ment can launch a public campaign on waterconservation that could help.

In any case, the inland county economy isfacing a serious threat and one which, if notaverted, will mean big changes for all of us.

The water crisis is here

For 8mm try checkingwith your local photo store tosee if the service is offered.If you have internet, look upwww.just8mm.com for rea-sonable pricing.

For still images there’s

two ways to digitize images.You can scan them in athome at 200 percent and aresolution of 300. Then openthe images in an editing pro-gram such as AdobePhotoShop ($175) or thecheaper suggested programAdobe Elements (used ornew $20 to $99). These pro-grams allow you to crop,convert to grayscale (blackand white) and adjust tonesand colors and sharpness.

If you don’t own a scanneryou can set your digital cam-era on high quality, zoom inslightly to a 55mm or normalfocal distance but not into thetelephoto end of your cam-era’s zoom range. Turn theflash off.

Put your photo into a welllit area such as the kitchencounter with all lights on oron a table on your shadedporch during a sunny day.Make sure the photograph isnot in direct sunlight.

Take a photo of the photo-graph filling the camera viewframe as full as possible.Then download the imagesand start opening, croppingand adjusting them to look asclose to new as possible.

Save each image with aname (also called “slug”)that represents the subjectand year of the photo. Burn aCD and print a correspond-ing thumbnail sheet of thosephotos. Set up a three ringbinder and slip the contactsheet into a clear page pro-tector, then slip the CD intothat same page protector. Besure to label the CD directlyusing a sharpie.

Describe the subject andinclude the date as well. Besure to share the new digitallibrary with family membersespecially those in upcominggenerations and explain whatthe collection includes.

You might consider mak-ing this a family project andcoincide it with your nextfamily get together or familyreunion. It’s a great way tocelebrate heritage and insurethat future generations areaware of their family history.

The Daily JournalThe classic romantic comedy “Cactus

Flower,” written and originally directed bythe legendary Abe Burrows, opens onMarch 23 for a 4-week run at the WillitsCommunity Theatre.

The WCT production is directed by IanStigliani and sparkles with witty dialogueskillfully delivered by a terrific WCT cast,says Theatre information.

“Cactus Flower,” a hit Broadway play,also made for a hit 1969 movie starringWalter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman and anOscar-winning newcomer named GoldieHawn. Racking up 1,234 performances onBroadway, “Cactus Flower” is certain tobecome a beloved WCT production as well,says producer Stephanie Chatten.

The story, based on a French farce, isabout a 40-something dentist, JulianWinston, perfectly played by ChristopherMartin. Julian has a thriving practice, ahappy single’s lifestyle and a groovy, muchyounger, girlfriend named Toni, portrayedby Cazzie Wilkinson.

In Julian’s scheme to remain a confirmedbachelor, he told Toni he has a wife andthree kids, leaving her with no expectationsof marriage. But what happens when Juliandecides he wants to settle down and pro-pose? Things get complicated.

Before Toni can accept Julian’s proposalshe must be certain she is not a “home-breaker” and insists on meeting Julian’scurrent wife to confirm the divorce ismutual. The problem -- no wife.

Enter Dr. Winston’s devoted spinster

nurse, Stephanie Dickinson, played byPatricia Willis. Shocked and disappointedby the doctor’s behavior, Miss Dickinsondecides to play the role of “Mrs. Winston”and the farce is afoot.

Complicating matters further is Toni’shunky neighbor, easy-going playwrightIgor Sullivan, played by Ian Stigliani.

Newcomer Charlie Lacey plays Julian’spatient and friend, Harvey. Also contribut-ing to the cast are two more patients,Esther Baruch as Mrs. Durant and NoelWickstrom as Señor Sanchez. EmmeliaKing plays Harvey’s girlfriend, Boticelli’sSpringtime.

Burrows penned many scripts for radioshows, Broadway and films. Among hisbetter-known works are “Cactus Flower,”“How to Succeed in Business WithoutReally Trying,” “Silk Stockings,” “TheSolid Gold Cadillac” and “Guys andDolls.”

“This is a wonderfully fun script by atruly gifted writer. We have been laughingfor weeks in rehearsals and the fun is onlyjust beginning,” states Chatten. “We addedan extra weekend because we think peopleare going to love it!”

Tickets are available at Leaves of GrassBooks in downtown Willits. To order byphone call them at 459-3744.

Friday and Saturday shows at 8 p.m. are$12. and Thursday at 7 p.m. with Sundaymatinees at 2 p.m. are $8. The WCTPlayhouse is located at 37 W. Van Lane inWillits. For box-office information call459-2281.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — TimLincecum’s first inning with the SanFrancisco Giants wasn’t much toremember. The top prospect’s secondframe was a whole lot more accordingto plan.

Lincecum gave up four hits andthree runs in the first inning of hisspring training debut against theMilwaukee Brewers on Wednesday,but recovered to retire the side inorder. He then sat on the bench withhis teammates and enjoyed his firstchance to overcome the butterfliesthat hit every new pro — even a first-round pick with remarkable talent anda hefty contract.

“The second I stepped on thatmound and saw Rickie Weeks step-ping in there, it hit me,” Lincecumsaid. “This is a little different gamehere. ... It’s not always a bad thing togo out there and get your bell rung alittle bit.”

The first five batters Lincecumfaced hit the ball sharply, includingWeeks’ single up the middle on an 0-2 count. Lincecum also threw a wildpitch before Kevin Mench singledhome Weeks, Bill Hall doubled andJohnny Estrada singled home twomore runs.

Lincecum got an inning-endingdouble play, but left the mound know-ing this month should give him plentyof lessons in humility.

“I was actually throwing more thanpitching in the first inning,” Lincecumsaid. “But excuses aside, I shouldknow better than that. It was nice toget the first inning out of the way.”

He was solid in the second inning,striking out his final two batters:Yohannis Perez and pitcher DaveBush. The Giants’ prized prospecteven picked up the win in San

Francisco’s 15-6 victory.“He came out that second inning

and rebounded pretty nice,” teammateRich Aurilia said, adding he wasreminded of Houston’s Roy Oswaltby Lincecum’s stature and power.“All in all, for a first outing, it wasnice to see him bounce back. He’s ayoung kid who’s got impressive stuff.It’s just a matter of harnessing it, butthe stuff is there.”

Lincecum caught a nasty case ofthe same flu that decimated theGiants’ roster in recent days, and theslight pitcher lost about 7 pounds. Hedidn’t start feeling well again untillate Tuesday, which might have beenreflected in his performance.

Lincecum, a star at the Universityof Washington before joining theGiants’ farm system last summer asthe 10th overall pick, is in camp as anon-roster player. He seems most

likely to begin the season as a starterat Triple-A Fresno.

He’s scheduled to pitch again onSunday. Manager Bruce Bochy, whotraveled with the other half of theGiants’ split squad to Peoria onWednesday, is looking forward to see-ing his prized pitching prospect.

———BONDS HUSTLES: Barry Bonds

sometimes runs out fewer balls thanmost hitters, but the slugger has givenhis all in his last two spring traininggames — and that worried Bochy justa bit.

Bonds hustled to beat out agrounder and later slid aggressivelyinto second base in the Giants’ gameagainst the Angels on Tuesday. InPeoria on Wednesday, Bonds turned ashort hit to left field into a double byspeeding into second base.

Given Bonds’ tender 42-year-oldbody and recent history of injury andweariness, Bochy is keeping an eyeon his new No. 3 hitter.

“He feels great, his legs feel greatand I think he’s enjoying the fact hecan run close to what he used to,”Bochy said. “At the same time, I’mnot going to lie. There’s a little con-cern at times. ... He knows his body,and that’s what we’ll do, we’ll com-municate.”

———MORRIS RECOVERS: Matt

Morris greatly improved on his springdebut, pitching three strong innings inSan Francisco’s 5-4 victory overSeattle.

Morris, who got pounded in hisspring debut against Milwaukee fourdays ago, gave up three hits and onerun while striking out two. Bochyblamed Morris’ poor early form on theflu, and the manager apparently was

OAKLAND — OaklandAthletics center fielder MarkKotsay will have arthroscopicsurgery on his backWednesday and could be side-lined up to three months.

The procedure, to be per-formed in Los Angeles, willrepair a herniated disk that hasbothered the 31-year-old

Kotsay for the past two sea-sons. He said there is no exacttimetable for his return to thedefending AL West champi-ons, but it likely will take 8-to-12 weeks of recovery time.

“I’m being given theopportunity to have a proce-dure the doctor feels goodabout, to get me to a healthystate as opposed to battling tostay on the field like I did the

last two seasons,” Kotsay saidin a telephone interviewTuesday night from SouthernCalifornia. “I’ve always hadthe problem. It was a matter ofdetermining whether the her-niation was causing my symp-toms.”

Kotsay left the A’s Phoenixtraining complex for SouthernCalifornia late last week toseek other medical opinions

and undergo further tests. Hehas not practiced since Feb.26, when he first complainedof stiffness in his back. Kotsayunderwent an MRI test twodays later.

“It’s always been there andthat’s been an option,” he saidof the surgery. “I haven’t pur-sued it because I really

much stronger recoveringfrom the flu,” Bochy said.“He had good command ofhis fastball, good curve. He’scrisper. Last outing, he wasstill under the weather.”

KLESKO SHELVED:Giants 1B Ryan Klesko willmiss the next week of springtraining with a strained mus-cle in his left side.

Klesko signed a one-yeardeal with San Francisco inDecember after eight seasonswith Atlanta and seven morewith San Diego. He has 272homers, but is expected to bea backup and pinch-hitter forthe Giants.

Klesko was injured duringworkouts Monday while therest of the club was at a gamein Tucson, a Giantsspokesman said. Later, Bochysaid he believed Klesko gothurt Sunday while diving fora ball in the outfield duringbatting practice, though hestill played in that day’s exhi-bition game.

thought I could function bydoing rehabilitation and tak-ing the steps to get throughthe season. The last two yearshave been very frustratingboth mentally and physically.I’ve had one whole seasonwith Oakland in 2004.”

In his absence, MiltonBradley has been moved fromright field to center. The A’shave options in the cornerspots with Shannon Stewart,Nick Swisher and BobbyKielty.

Kotsay, who batted .275with seven home runs and 59RBIs in 129 games forOakland in 2006, said he willspend three weeks doing littleother than resting after theoperation.

He said during FanFest onJan. 27 that he was feeling“really good” and thought hehad taken enough time off inthe winter to let his backfinally calm down. Once itflared up again early in springtraining, the arthroscopic pro-cedure seemed to make thebest sense.

“I wasn’t into an aggres-sive baseball activity at thatpoint,” he said. “I did all Icould fundamentally to pre-pare myself. I go into everyoffseason preparing tostrengthen my core and giveme more flexibility to playwith that condition.”

Kotsay, who made theplayoffs last October for thefirst time in his 10-year majorleague career, started 96 ofthe A’s first 111 gamesthrough Aug. 6 but the backproblem limited him to 25starts over the final 51 games.Aside from his first bigleague season in 1997 whenhe played in just 14 games forFlorida, Kotsay matched hiscareer-lows in home runs,runs (57) and extra-base hits(39). He also grounded into acareer-high 18 double plays.

He hopes to soon be feel-ing like himself again, healthyand ready to help the A’s inthe second half.

“You’re discouragedbecause you prepare yourselffor a season that you’re anx-ious to start, and it didn’t startoff the way I would haveliked it to,” he said.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March20) -- Be prepared for moreresponsibilities than usual tobe dumped into your lap atthis time. Although some ofthe matters you’ll be able tohandle in stride, others maytake a bit of doing.

ARIES (March 21-April19) -- This is not a good timeto go out on the limb con-cerning money issues -whether it be borrowing orloaning. Conditions are fartoo unstable to be able to

withstand the load you’ll becarrying.

TAURUS (April 20-May20) -- Unexpected resistanceto your ambitious planscould thwart your aims.Instead of concentratingmore on your goal, youcould lose your focus byswitching it onto youradversary.

GEMINI (May 21-June20) -- It is best not to volun-teer advice on somethingabout which you truly knowlittle. If your suggestions areput into action and do moreharm than good, you’ll beheld accountable.

CANCER (June 21-July22) -- Although it isadmirable to be generous toothers, do so only with your

own possessions and notthose that aren’t solely yoursto loan or give. The otherperson could have plans forit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When it comes to dealingwith authority figures, be onyour best behavior or thingscould get a trifle abrasive.Even though you may getyour licks in, you won’thave the last word.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.22) -- Unfortunately, you’renot apt to do anything toughthat you think can be put offuntil tomorrow. Whateveryour rationalization may be,it will be a surefire formulafor a logjam later.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.23) -- Under most circum-stance you’re a pretty level-

headed person in handlingyour affairs, but you couldbe more of a risk taker andgamble on things that youhaven’t assessed at all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.22) -- You’re brave and allthat, but the one thing youmost definitely don’t want todo is place yourself in themiddle between two oppos-ing factions. Both can turnon you with their wrath.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec. 21) -- Braggadociocan be just a game to you,but if you attempt to topanother guy’s story anddon’t have the trophy on thewall to prove it, it couldprove to be embarrassing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It might be farmore difficult to manage

your resources in a prudentfashion, because for a briefspell, there may be manydrains on them coming fromangles you don’t expect.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Projects or pur-suits that are of importanceto you might not find favorwith your co-workers.Should anybody becomepushy, an uncomfortable sit-uation could turn serious.

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

THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2007 – 9

Dear Annie: During 33 years of marriage,my husband seldom, if ever, removed his wed-ding ring. However, during the past fourmonths, I’ve noticed it’s off a lot more than it’son. I’ve discovered it in his jewelry box, theglove compartment of his car and, one daywhile doing laundry, it fell out of his shirtpocket. When I questioned him, he gave mevague responses like, “It felt loose,” or “I tookit off to do yard work.” Like a foolish, trustingwife, I believed him.

The other day I ran into one of his co-work-ers. “Denise” is very attractive, and they haveworked together for many years. I don’t knowher well, only enough to make casual conver-sation. However, when I saw her, she seemeduncomfortable and very ill at ease. Then mywhole world collapsed around me. She said,“I’m sorry to hear you are getting divorcedsoon.” I told her she must be confusing us withanother couple and that our marriage is stableand intact. She looked like she was going to be

ill and made some excuse about being in ahurry, and off she went.

Then it hit me. My husband must be havingan affair with this woman. It explains every-thing. I need to confront my cheating husbandbecause this is tearing me to shreds. I don’thave a clue how to go about doing this. How doI begin? What do I say? My marriage is over,so please don’t advise me to try counseling.The love and trust are gone. I just need to knowhow to bow out gracefully. -- Still Devastated

Dear Devastated: We know the circumstan-tial evidence seems convincing, but be sure.Schedule a quiet, private moment with yourhusband, when you are calm, and say, “I saw

Denise the other day, and she told me you wanta divorce. When were you going to tell me?”This should open up a conversation, although itmay not be the one you want. We still recom-mend counseling -- not necessarily to put yourmarriage back together, but to help you workthrough your anger and sense of betrayal soyou can move forward. Good luck.

Dear Annie: I recently returned from avacation where I visited a close friend whomI’ve known for a long time. While there, hetold me he loved me. I have loved him for afew years, so I told him back. We spent the restof the time there as a couple, but when Ireturned home, things changed. I think abouthim all the time, and he thinks of me, but howcan there be a relationship if we are so farapart?

I have been considering moving to his cityand have saved money for it. Is it worth relo-cating for love? Is it worth changing every-thing about life for one person? -- LostBetween Places in British Columbia

Dear Lost: Well, yes, if you truly love him

and believe you have a future together. Thiskind of commitment requires a leap of faith,and either you are willing to risk it for him oryou aren’t. It might help to plan another vaca-tion soon to make sure you are both on thesame page and still feel the same.

Dear Annie: My best friend is a KoreanWar veteran who receives medical care at theVA hospital for his war-related injuries. LastChristmas, he received a handmade greetingcard from a youngster. He treasures that card,and it holds a place of honor in his office. Eventhough he is a successful businessman and hasa family, it made him feel like a million bucksto be remembered for his service and to knowthat young people are being taught about veter-ans. I hope that all those who send cards to ourvets have a chance to know how much it meansto the recipients. -- Illinois Friend

Dear Illinois: Every year on Valentine’sDay, we ask our readers to send valentines toour veterans. Thank you for letting us knowthat such cards and good wishes are appreciat-ed, no matter when they arrive.

ommendations, it was clearthat several commissionerswere poised to choose conges-tion issues in urban areas overconnectivity issues in ruralareas.

“It’s a call that was in the

purview of the commission tomake,” Barna said of thedenial of funding for thebypass.

But local officials are stilloutraged over the process,which they say turned out tobe more political than merit-based.

“I think we all agree, Ithink the public agrees, thatthis is an outrageous situa-

tion,” Supervisor JimWattenburger said.

He suggested the countytake a three-pronged approachin addressing the commis-sion’s action, includingapproving a resolution similarto MCOG’s, looking furtherinto deprogramming the near-ly $32 million MCOG has set

aside for the bypass andrequesting the AttorneyGeneral look into a potentialBagley-Keene Open MeetingAct violation.

The board is expected toadopt a resolution in protest ofthe CTC’s decision and con-tinue discussion on the otherpossible actions at its March

13 meeting.Barna said members of the

commission and Caltrans staffwere planning to meet withlocal officials in Willits inearly April to see if some solu-tion could be found.

labor practices. Inside the courthouse, only

two criminal courts wereopen: Courtroom H, whichwas handling arraignmentsand juvenile matters, andCourtroom A, which was han-dling criminal matters.

Despite the strike, therewere five county attorneys inthe courthouse Wednesdaykeeping the court in opera-tion: Interim District AttorneyElizabeth Norman, AssistantDistrict Attorney KeithFaulder, Public Defender WesHamilton, Assistant PublicDefender Linda Thompsonand Alternate Public DefenderBarry Robinson.

These five attorneys aremembers of the managementbargaining unit and notMCPAA members.

Faulder said he had alreadyhandled two cases by 9 a.m.Wednesday but that work wasbeing hampered becausemany of the court’s clericalemployees, including thecourt reporters, were not atwork.

The bulk of those employ-ees are SEIU members whodid not cross the MCPAApicket line. There was onlyone court reporter working inthe courthouse on Wednesday,Faulder said.

“I’ve got an attemptedmurder case, a gang case, an

assault with a deadly weaponcase and a child molestationcase,” Faulder said. “I’m justwaiting for a court reporter.”

“These are the cases weneed to appear on; these aredangerous guys,” Fauldersaid.

Court Executive OfficerBen Stough said the court willremain open during the strikeand that the calendar will berearranged to make sure casesare heard in as timely a man-ner as possible.

“Our cases are proceedingas normal,” Stough said.“Major cases have not beendelayed.”

Beltrami said he was notsure if the county would bebringing in additional attor-neys from the CaliforniaDistrict Attorneys Associationor the Attorney General’sOffice to fill any gaps.

“We’ll have to look at thework situation,” Beltramisaid. “If we need help we’llhave to bring it in.”

In an effort to bring thestrike to an end, the countyhas also refiled its motion fora temporary injunction againstthe MCPAA strike.

The county originally filedthe motion Feb. 27, but it wasdenied by Mendocino CountySuperior Court Judge CindeeMayfield, who said the countyhad not provided evidence ofa specific threat to publicsafety.

The motion will heard at1:30 p.m. today.
