The Daily JournalTwo Santa Rosa teenagers

were arrested on charges ofvehicle theft and gang affilia-tion Friday morning in the1400 block of South StateStreet.

Wendy Beutelspacher, 18,and a 17-year-old girl, both ofSanta Rosa, were arrested onsuspicion of taking a vehiclewithout consent, possession ofstolen property, participationin a criminal street gang andproviding false information toa police officer at 12:40 a.m.Friday.

According to reports fromthe Mendocino County

Sheriff’s Office, deputies firstnoticed the suspects drivingnorth on South State Streetnear the airport. They saw thelicense plate light on the vehi-cle was out and followed.

The vehicle pulled into theparking lot of Motel 6 onSouth State street and twofemales got out and went intoan unknown room of themotel.

Sheriff’s deputies ran thelicense plate number andfound that the vehicle wasalleged to have been stolenearlier in the evening in SantaRosa.

After the suspects left the

motel, sheriff’s deputiesstopped the vehicle in the1400 block of South StateStreet. The 17-year-old girlwas driving, and also in thecar were Beutelspacher andtwo other unnamed subjects,according to the MCSO.

The juvenile andBeutelspacher were arrestedon suspicion of the above list-ed charges. The juvenile wastransported to Juvenile Hall,Beutelspacher was taken tocounty jail, where she is beingheld on a $15,000 bond.

The other two people in thecar were questioned at thescene and then released.

Republicans choose Boehner of Ohioto succeed Hastert as minority leader

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cast into the minority by an angryelectorate, House Republicans chose Rep. John Boehner ofOhio on Friday to lead a return to power as quickly as possible.“We’re going to earn our way back into the majority,” hevowed.

To do that, he said, “we need to fight for a smaller, less cost-ly and more accountable federal government.”

Boehner defeated Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana for minorityleader on a secret ballot vote of 168-27, a margin that demon-strated fellow lawmakers do not hold him responsible for theelection losses the party suffered on Nov. 7. The OhioRepublican has been serving as majority leader, the second-in-command in the leadership, since February.

Another leadership veteran, Roy Blunt of Missouri, won anew term as party whip, defeating Arizona Rep. John Shadeggon a vote of 137-57. “You know, it’s not our job to defend busi-ness as usual, not our job to try to define the federal govern-ment in the biggest possible way,” Blunt said.

As Republican leader, Boehner’s job, at least in part, will beto oppose legislation advanced by Rep. Nancy Pelosi, theDemocratic speaker-in-waiting, and help develop alternativesdesigned to appeal to the electorate in 2008.

3rd Infantry Division will be firstArmy division to serve 3 Iraq tours

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Army’s 3rd Infantry Division,which helped lead the charge to Baghdad at the outset of thewar, will return next year and become the first Army division toserve three tours in Iraq.

More than 3 1/2 years into the war, the Army and MarineCorps are straining to keep a steady flow of combat and supportforces to Iraq while giving the troops sufficient time betweendeployments for rest and retraining.

Both services are far short of their goal of providing twoyears between deployments; the 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Infantry,for example, will have spent barely more than 12 months athome when it returns next year. The same is true for the divi-sion’s 1st Brigade, which officials have said is scheduled todeploy again in January.

The 3rd Infantry, based at Fort Stewart, Ga., is among sever-al units — totaling 57,000 troops — identified by the Pentagonon Friday for deployment in a fresh rotation of forces startingin January. The announcement does not presume any change introop levels, nor is any major change expected for at least sev-eral months.

The announcement comes as some congressionalDemocrats, who are poised to take control of the House andSenate, continue to press for a substantial reduction of U.S.troops in Iraq, and a timetable for that drawdown.

By BEN BROWNThe Daily Journal

Howard EugeneRaff, 55, of BeaverDam, Ariz., appearedin court Friday at hisarraignment on murdercharges, but did notenter a plea.

Public DefenderLinda Thompson,appearing for PublicDefender Wes Hamil-ton, asked that Raff’sentry of plea hearing be rescheduled forWednesday.

At the request of Acting District Attor-ney Keith Faulder, Mendocino SuperiorCourt Judge Cindee Mayfield orderedthat Raff be held without bail.

Raff is charged with first-degree mur-der with the special allegations that he

committed the crime for financial gain,that he lay in wait to commit the crime,and that he committed the crime with ahandgun and caused great bodily injuryor death.

The charges were increased fromattempted murder on Tuesday, after thevictim, Virginia Larkin, 60, of Ukiah,died of complications from her injuries inthe UC Davis Medical Center near Sacra-mento.

Larkin succumbed to her injuries justover a week after she suffered a singlegunshot wound to the head at the Hugh L.Preston Law Offices on South SchoolStreet, where she worked as a secretary.

It is alleged that Raff drove from hishome in Arizona to Ukiah and that at 9:39a.m. on Nov. 6 he walked into the office,shot Larkin once in the head, and then leftthe scene and walked to the nearby Men-docino County Courthouse, where he

turned himself in to courthouse security.If convicted, Raff could face life

imprisonment with no chance of parole.Two of the charges against him carry 25years-to-life sentences.

The District Attorney’s Office doeshave the option to seek the death penaltyin this case, but Faulder said he wouldnot ask for a sentence of death.

Raff was not as vocal Friday as he wasat his first arraignment, where he also didnot enter a plea.

During his Nov. 8 arraignment, Raffwas overheard saying to Public DefenderSteve Jackson that he wished to enter aplea of not guilty because he was notguilty. Raff did not enter a plea at thatarraignment.

Raff is scheduled to be arraigned onmurder charges Wednesday.

Interfaithunions citedas Jewishpopulation inBoston risesBY MICHAEL PAULSONThe Boston Globe

As the number of Jews inthe United States is thoughtto be flat or falling, theJewish community in GreaterBoston is growing, fueled byan unexpectedly high per-centage of children in mixed-faith households who arebeing raised in the Jewishfaith, according to a newdemographic study.

The study, the first attemptin a decade to quantify theregion’s Jewish community,finds that about 210,000 peo-ple, or 7.2 percent of theBoston-area population, areJewish, four times the per-centage in the nation as awhole.

The study also found that60 percent of children in theregion’s interfaith familiesare being raised Jewish, asurprising result when thehigh rate of intermarriage hasraised concern about thelong-term viability of theAmerican Jewish community.

The Steinhardt SocialResearch Institute at BrandeisUniversity conducted thestudy, which is being releasedFriday.

Nationally, an estimatedone-third of children in inter-faith families are raisedJewish, and the higher rate in

the Boston area may fueldebate about the effectivenessof outreach to interfaith cou-ples.

“The Jewish community,because of history, has beenvery sensitive to its numbers;survival issues have alwaysbeen important,” saidLeonard Saxe, director of theSteinhardt Institute and prin-cipal investigator in the study.Saxe said it is not clearwhether researchers are doinga better job finding Jews or ifthe absolute number of Jewsis growing. Either way, hesaid, the Jewish community isnow larger than had previous-ly been thought.

“Since the mid-’90s, whena high level of intermarriagewas reported, there’s been alot of discussion about whatthat implied about the

future.”Jewish community leaders

in Boston, who have aggres-sively endorsed outreach tointerfaith families fordecades, said the numbersvindicated their efforts.

For years, the Jewish com-munity nationally has debatedwhether it is better to dis-courage intermarriage or toaccept the phenomenon andembrace interfaith families, adiscussion based in large parton the presumption that mostchildren raised in interfaithfamilies grow up to be non-Jews.

“It’s important to knowthat it is possible to achievehigher levels of affiliationamong interfaith households,”said Barry Shrage, presidentof Combined JewishPhilanthropies of Greater

Boston, which financed thestudy. “That’s an area wherethere is a huge amount ofgrowth in the Jewish commu-nity, and if we can achievehigher levels of affiliationamong those folks, it’s impor-tant for the future of theJewish people.”

The study, the fifth once-a-decade examination of thelocal Jewish community since1965, suggests that in inter-faith couples where thewoman is Jewish, childrenare far more likely to beraised as Jews than in coupleswhere the man is Jewish.That result would parallelfindings in other faiths, wherewomen often participate morein congregational life anddetermine the religiousupbringing of children.

Community leaders saidthe results reflect a decisionby the Boston Jewish com-munity, starting in the late1970s, to welcome interfaithfamilies.

“We can’t afford to lose allof those folks, and if wedon’t want to lose them, wehave to create a hospitableclimate for them to enter,”said Rabbi Ronne Friedman,senior rabbi at Temple Israelin Boston, which, like manyReform congregations, has asubstantial minority of inter-faith families among itsmembership.

Combined JewishPhilanthropies spends about 1percent of its annual budgeton programs aimed at inter-faith families, which is 10times greater than the nation-al average, according to

From the desk of...

Thank youTo the Editor:On behalf of myself and the Ukiah

High boy’s basketball program, I’d like tothank numerous people for their supportand encouragement during the past month.First, a huge thank you to the numerousteachers who came to my defense - thesupport was tremendous and definitelyappreciated. Second, thanks to the manycoaches and to the UHS administrationwho stood behind me, believed in me, andencouraged me to reapply for my job.Third, to all my friends and family, thankyou for the outpouring of love and supportduring these discouraging times - younever let me give up or let my spiritsdrop. Fourth, thank you to Jerry Bums,Steve Savage, and especially SheriSandoval for their encouragement andtheir legal expertise (which will probablysoon be put in motion) regarding theseslanderous allegations. Also, I want tothank the school board for allowing me totell them what really happened; and Iappreciate the thoroughness of PrincipalKen Montoya and AssistantSuperintendent Michael Juric’s investiga-tions into the allegations against me - andtheir subsequent findings of my inno-cence. Last, but certainly not least, I wantto thank the dozens of past, present andfuture Varsity players (and their parents)who contacted me and told me, in nouncertain terms, that they want me to con-tinue to coach. Mainly because of theirdesire to have me continue, I reapplied(and was rehired) as the boy’s basketballcoach.

Thank youTo the Editor: Since the unexpected passing of my

husband Steve Scully, our family has beenoverwhelmed by the kindness of strangersand the caring actions of friends.

The business community has alwayscome to the aid of charities and goodcauses that need cash or in-kind contribu-tions. But in the death of one individual,where no requests for support weresolicited nor expected, I was astonished atthe generosity of so many.

Thank you so much to Robin at theCheesecake Momma, Yoshiki and Naokoat Oco Time, Michelle and Tim at

Marino’s Pizza and George at Sweet RiverGrill in Santa Rosa for their timely, deli-cious and amazingly abundant gifts offood. Thank you to Redwood Children’sServices and SPACE for flowers, andthanks to the hundreds of friends whohave sent cards, emails and love to ourfamily. Thank you to all of Steve’s co-workers at the Department of SocialServices who took the time to attend hismemorial. A special thanks to LiaPatterson, who produced an amazingPower Point tribute to Steve which wewill always cherish. Lynn Sullivan, SueThornhill and Chris Oldham, employeesof the Mendocino County HumanResources, Retirement and PayrollDepartments have done everything theycan to help us.

I would particularly like to thankGeorge and Martha Leinen of EmpireMortuary. Their compassion, flexibility,and absolute professionalism gave us oneof the greatest gifts we could receive insuch a confusing and tragic time,Knowing that we have many optionswhen a loved one dies, and being able toexercise those options, is a great steptoward creating healthy closure and hon-oring the memory and wishes of those welove.

From the desk of...MAUREEN DOWD

Pouring chardonnay on diplomacy

Maureen Dowd became a columnist forThe New York Times in 1995.

Nicholas D. Kristof was appointed to a specialpost as columnist for The New York Times in2001.

WASHINGTON --The foreign affairs fur isflying.

I’m not talking about the catfight betweentwo strong-willed, expensively dressedDemocratic pols married to California gazil-lionaires, with Speaker-elect Nancy Pelositrying to yank Jane Harman from heading theHouse Intelligence Committee.

I’m talking about the catfight between theIdealists and the Realists.

After an election that spurned ideology,and the triumphant return of the Bush 41pragmatists James Baker and Robert Gates,the self-proclaimed Idealists are reduced tohissing from the sidelines.

The Vulcans and neocons had grandioseplans to restore trumpets, morality and spineto foreign policy, to establish America as ahyperpower with a duty to export democracy-- by force and on its own, if necessary. Butnow the grandiose experiment of Iraq is in asulfurous shambles, and the Realpolitikcrowd is back cleaning up.

In The Wall Street Journal, Michael Rubinof the American Enterprise Institute railedagainst the evils of “chardonnay diplomacy,”recalling that in 1983, Donald Rumsfeld,President Reagan’s Middle East envoy, metwith Saddam Hussein in Baghdad, hoping torestore relations out of a concern over grow-ing Iranian influence. He didn’t bother tomention Saddam’s use of chemical weapons.

“Mr. Gates was the CIA’s deputy directorfor intelligence at the time of Mr. Rumsfeld’sinfamous handshake, deputy director of cen-tral intelligence when Saddam gassed theKurds, and deputy national security adviserwhen Saddam crushed the Shiite uprising,”Rubin wrote. “Mr. Baker was as central.”

Rummy, he said, “worked to right pastwrongs.” By contrast, the neocons fear, Gatesand Baker are back winking at dictators.Already they’re talking about cozying up tothe evil leaders of Iran and Syria and perhapsdreaming of more concessions to thePalestinians. (Israel and its supporters amongChristian evangelicals are having connip-tions.)

The Idealists who loved Ronald Reagan’sevocation of Thomas Paine -- “We have it inour power to begin the world over again” --are right that Americans yearn for a moral for-eign policy. It was sickening in 1989 to seeBrent Scowcroft -- another realist back infashion -- offering a cozy supper toast toChinese leaders only six months afterTiananmen Square, and getting Poppy to lec-ture Ukrainians not to break the iron grip ofMoscow.

It was sickening, after Bush pere sold thePersian Gulf War as a moral mission, to seethe 41 team decide at the end not to interveneto stop Saddam from slaughtering thousandsof innocent Shiites and Kurds who rose up asthe president had asked.

It was sickening when the first Bushadministration decided to do nothing aboutthe genocidal Serbian war on Bosnia in 1992.As Secretary of State Baker frostilyexplained, “We do not have a dog in thatfight.” Justifying the administration’s toughstance toward Israel, the Velvet Hammermade another notorious comment.“(Expletive deleted) the Jews,” he told a col-league privately. “They didn’t vote for us any-way.”

But while the Idealists have a point, theyalso have a problem. Their moral war in Iraqwas sold four years ago with two big lies: thatSaddam had WMD and that the Iraqis wereyearning for democracy. And it has continuedin a fog of deception about imaginaryprogress. It is immoral to put troops’ lives atrisk because one is doctrinaire, to make peo-ple die for a failure of flexibility.

America’s bungled occupation and naiveassumptions unleashed sectarian bloodlettingthat could ultimately, as The New YorkTimes’ John Burns wrote, “match the masskilling that characterized Mr. Hussein’s psy-chopathic years in power” and emboldenauthoritarian Arab leaders.

Bush junior cast himself as the Reaganheir. But as Reagan showed in Lebanon, whenhe pulled out troops after 241 servicemenwere blown up, and in Reykjavik negotiatingwith Mikhail Gorbachev on nuclear arms, hewas incredibly flexible -- an effective contrastwith his inflexible rhetoric. He pursued open-ings and even radical diplomacy. If the Gipperwas wood, the Decider is stone.

Voters rejected W.’s black-and-white,good-and-evil, incompetent foreign policylast week. The president got the message thatsome shades of gray were desirable andbrought in the family fixer with the brightgreen ties, who is perfectly positioned tocome up with a solution that will fly inWashington and flop in Baghdad.

As the theologian Reinhold Niebuhrtaught, morality without realism is naivite orworse, and realism without morality is cyni-cism or worse. Morality should open youreyes, not close them.

KOUKOU, Chad -- Around this remote markettown are janjaweed, the Sudanese-sponsored Arabmilitias that hunt down black Africans and shoot orrape them. The janjaweed are armed with AK-47s,grenade launchers and heavy machine guns mountedon pickup trucks.

Here in Koukou, the Africans are waiting for theattackers -- with bows and arrows.

The international community has shamefully aban-doned the people of eastern Chad, allowing the Darfurgenocide to spread relentlessly. Incredibly, this yearsome 15,000 Chadians have sought security by fleeinginto Darfur.

So the people in little Chadian towns like Koukouare left to themselves, and they have organized a self-defense force out of the town’s 2,000 people. Theyhave 12 hunting rifles, and every man has bows andarrows. Many also carry spears or swords.

It is an astonishing sight in the 21st century: Almostevery male you meet here over the age of 12 carries ahomemade bow and a quiver of arrows, just in casethey come across marauders with machine guns. It isas crazy as it is courageous.

“I will try to defend myself with this bow andarrow,” said Muhammad Hamid, a 40-year-old farmerwalking down the path by the town. “If I die, that’sOK, but I will try to fight.”

Muhammad gave me a demonstration of his archeryand it was, frankly, pitiful. He could fire the arrowonly about 50 feet. Another villager sent the arrowonly 40 feet.

Yet the villagers are fighting for the lives of theirloved ones, and that counts for something. They alsoapply traditional poison to the arrowheads, and theysay that if it reaches the bloodstream it is deadly. In adestroyed village southwest of here, I saw a janjaweedhorse that had been killed by a defender’s arrow.

The local peasants certainly do better than I do.When I ran into a band of janjaweed Monday in aburned-out village near here, I fled. The peasants ofKoukou stand their ground.

Indeed, the archers of Koukou managed to turnback an attack by the janjaweed over two days in May.One janjaweed fighter they killed carried a Sudanesemilitary identity card -- one more indication thatSudan is behind these attacks.

“God gave us help to win,” said MuhammadIbrahim, the chief of the locality, explaining the jan-jaweed retreat in May. But after a string of attacks on20 villages in the area over the last 10 days, he nowexpects another assault on Koukou by the janjaweed.

The townspeople have talked about pulling upstakes and moving en masse, but they have nowhere togo.

The courage of ordinary citizens here offers a point-ed contrast to the fecklessness everywhere else.France, the former colonial power here, has troops inboth Chad and the Central African Republic -- whichit seems ready to use primarily to evacuate Europeansas order collapses. (During the Rwandan genocide,France left its local staff to be butchered but took careto evacuate the embassy dog.)

As for the U.S., President Bush has found thecourage to do little more than demand that the U.N. dosomething. Frankly, we should be embarrassed that themightiest superpower in the history of the world can’tsummon the gumption of Chadian peasants with bowsand arrows.

Already, the U.N. and the major powers haveallowed hundreds of thousands of people to be killedin Darfur. Now they seem equally ready to allow thegenocide to spread to a far larger area and cause thecollapse of Chad and the Central African Republic.

Local Chadians in this region, from the sultan to thehomeless people now sleeping under trees, regularlyplead for U.N. peacekeepers, or any internationalintervention.

Here’s a suggestion: How about a joint U.S. andFrench operation to fly sorties, at the invitation of theChadian government, from the French air base inAbeche, Chad, to strafe janjaweed raiding parties?Most of the janjaweed destroying eastern Chad seemto be Sudanese, guided by some Chadian Arabs whoknow this territory, and many appear to be in it for thepay and the spoils. Such mercenaries may find it lessof an adventure if they risk being gunned down them-selves.

In this semidesert land, large bands of janjaweedcan be spotted relatively easily. And there is no sover-eignty objection in assisting Chad in securing its ownterritory.

The people in Koukou and other towns here, withtheir bows and arrows, have the guts to stand up togenocide. I wish we did.

Edmund C. Case, presidentand publisher ofInterfaithFamily.com, a web-site based in Newton andfunded by CJP. The programsinclude discussion series forintermarried couples, conver-sion programs, holiday craftsprograms for children, andother educational initiatives.

“I’m convinced thatBoston has the most exten-sive and most well-fundedand most well-organized out-reach to interfaith families inthe country,” Case said.

Among the participants insuch programs is AmyO’Donnell, 31, of Natick, aJewish woman who, with herCatholic boyfriend, attendeda series for interfaith couplesbefore getting engaged. Thecouple, who retained theirown faiths, now have threechildren and are raising themas Jews.

“The program allowed usto examine our situation veryopenly and honestly and fig-ure out what we wanted,”O’Donnell said.

The study, which is to beposted Friday at cjp.org, sug-gests that several trends iden-tified in 1995 may havereversed. The population ofthe local Jewish community,which appeared to have lev-eled off a decade ago, is nowgrowing, and, in the Boston

area, the westward migrationof the Jewish communitytoward Interstate 495 has inrecent years been less signifi-cant than the growth withinmore traditional areas such asBoston, Brookline,Cambridge, and Newton.

The study also shows thatthe Jewish population, likethe general population,includes an increasinglydiverse mix of family struc-tures, with a large number ofunmarried individuals,including cohabiting couplesand singles.

And the Jewish communi-ty is highly educated.According to the study, 91percent of local Jews age 25and older have a collegedegree, and 27 percent have adoctorate or a master’sdegree.

Jewish community leadersare heartened by anotherfinding of the study: There isa relatively high level ofengagement in Jewish life, asmeasured by membership insynagogues and involvementin traditional ritual practices.

The study found that near-ly half of local Jewish adultsbelong to a synagogue or aless formal worshiping com-munity; 42 percent of localJews identify with theReform movement, 33 per-cent with ConservativeJudaism, and 5 percent withOrthodox Judaism.

Missouri Baptists expel 19 churches

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The MissouriBaptist Convention has voted to oust 19churches for donating money and havingother ties to more moderate Baptistgroups.

The unusual step is the largest expul-sion of churches in the convention’s his-tory.

It means those congregations will nolonger be affiliated with the 16.3 million-member Southern Baptist Convention,the nation’s largest Protestant denomina-tion.

Most of the 19 churches had alreadydistanced themselves from the MissouriBaptist Convention. But the expulsionswere decided when delegates to an annu-al meeting of the convention voted Oct.31 to bar any representatives of the 19churches.

“I think in recent years the conventionhas attacked, defunded and excludedgroups they can’t control,” said the Rev.Mike Shupert, pastor of the CapeGirardeau church. “They want to say,’This is what you have to believe.’ That’snot the Baptist way.”

The changes should not affect mostcongregants on a day-to-day basis at the19 churches, but has meant the end to his-toric partnerships.

With diocese facing bankruptcy, incomingCatholic bishop asks for low-key installation

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) -- Theincoming Roman Catholic bishop ofDavenport, taking over a diocese facingbankruptcy, is asking parishioners not toorganize an extravagant celebration at hisinstallation this month.

The request by Bishop Martin Amoscomes weeks after the diocese filed forbankruptcy protection from clergy sexualabuse claims.

“He’s considering the financial situa-tion of the diocese,” says diocesespokesman David Montgomery.

Diocesan officials said that more than$10.5 million has been paid so far toresolve abuse claims since 2004, includ-ing a $9 million payout to 37 victims.Insurance covered part of the cost.

Amos’ installation is planned for Nov.20. Amos, an auxiliary bishop in theDiocese of Cleveland, will succeedBishop William Franklin, who is retiring.

The church plans to save money by notoffering dinner at the reception held afterthe installation. It has also abandoned aplan to show the service live on cabletelevision. Instead, the ceremony will beshown on tape-delay on MediacomChannel 11, which is owned by St.

Ambrose University in Davenport,Montgomery says.

All the priests in the diocese have beenasked to contribute toward the installa-tion, and some parishes are taking specialcollections.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Bignames in television evangelism gatheredto break ground for a new broadcast cen-ter for the Charlotte-based InspirationNetworks, which is building a $98 mil-lion complex in South Carolina.

Pat Robertson of the ChristianBroadcasting Network, Rodney Parsleyof the World Harvest Church inColumbus, Ohio, and pioneer televange-list Rex Humbard were among the peoplewho came Nov. 5 to what will be a 93-acre campus in Lancaster County, S.C.

They condemned commercial televi-sion as evil.

“Television has become America’sdrug of choice, an electronic Valium,”Parsley said.

David Cerullo, chief executive officerof Inspiration Networks, said “most secu-lar television today has gone beyond thebounds of good entertainment and goodinformation into what the Bible woulddescribe as spiritual darkness.”

The Eagle Invitational kicked offFriday night at Mendocino Collegewith two good games on tap. The first,Butte College taking on Los PositasCollege and that proved to be a goodwarm up for the later game ofMendocino College taking on LassenCollege, a team the Eagles beat justlast week.

Butte College and Los PositasCollege proved to be a well playedgame by both sides with theRoadrunners from Butte proving to bethe better team beating the Hawks 78-71.

The Roadrunners played well in thefirst half against the Hawks, tradingoffensive and defensive blows backand forth. It was a fairly low scoringgame in the first 12 minutes of playwith both teams only scoring 16 pointsa piece.

But after that point both teamsturned on the offensive afterburnersand would score plenty of points. Atthe 5 minute mark the RoadrunnersJosh Munroe, who finished the gamewith 15 points, four rebounds and 3assists, flew down the court after asteal to score an uncontested layup toincrease the Butte lead to 31-24.

While the lead increased to 11points for the Roadrunners with 1:15left in the half, the Hawks would endthe half on a 6-0 run in the last minuteto only be down by 6 going into thebreak.

Coming out of halftime, Butte didnot play like they did in the first halfand had six turnovers in the first fiveminutes of play but were able to stayahead 45-41 over the Hawks.

The only time in the second halfthat the Hawks would lead was on adunk by 5’9” Marc Traylor with 1:45left in the half to go up by one 71-70.But Traylor would then get a technicalfoul for hanging on the rim and theRoadrunners would make both freethrows at the 1:45 mark to take thelead back for good. In the end, theRoadrunners ran away with it 78-71.They moved on to play in the champi-onship game tomorrow at 7:00 p.m.while Los Positas will play in the thirdplace game at 5:00.

The second game of the night was arematch of the Eagles and the Cougarsof Lassen College and it proved to bea physical battle from the beginning.

“This team was coming back forrevenge after we beat them last week,”said Mendocino head coach KevinKoch. “It was a battle from the getgo.”

In the first half it took over 11 min-utes for a team to score in double fig-ures and at the 9:45 mark EagleCanyon Miller, who ended the game

with 10 points and 6 rebound and onetremendous late game block, sunksome free throws to go up 10-8.

The referees stayed very busy in thefirst half calling 32 fouls and hadwhistle in mouth most of the gamekeeping these intense, aggressiveteams under control.

“I think the referees did a prettygood job in the first 10 minutesbecause this was a very intense game,”Koch said. “ I think it took them awhile to get the teams in order.”

Neither team lead by more than afew points in the first half and thegame started tied and the first halfended tied at 22-22.

In the second half, Lassen came outon fire and went on a 9-1 run in thefirst 2:26 of the half to go up 31-23 atthe 17:34 mark. But then the Eagleswould go on a 5-0 run of their own.

It stared with a pass from sopho-more Xavier White, who finished withnine points, three rebounds and threeassists, to Jared Giammona for a three-pointer at the 17 minute mark to closethe gap to 31-26. And then followingthat play White would drive in for a10-foot floater to cause the Cougars tocall a timeout with 16:10 left to go inthe game.

“We have a sophomore team,”Koch said. “They really stepped up

tonight for us and our freshman didtheir part tonight as well.”

Out of the timeout, the Eagleswould force Lassen to turn the ballover and would then take the ball andhave Miller drive to the basket for alayup to shorten the distance betweenthem and the Cougars to one pointwith just over 15 minutes to play.

Lassen would stop the bleeding fora short time with a 15-foot jumperfrom Eder Zuniga, who ended thegame with 16 points and four assists.But the Eagles were not down with theCougars.

OAKLAND — The OaklandAthletics suddenly need a designatedhitter, and they aren’t going far forone potential candidate to fill thespot: Barry Bonds.

A’s general manager Billy Beanehas had conversations with Bonds’agent Jeff Borris about the 42-year-old slugger, who has played the past14 seasons with San Francisco.Oakland officially lost 2006 DHFrank Thomas on Friday when hesigned a two-year, $18.12 millioncontract with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Bonds, who became a free agentafter the season at the conclusion of afive-year, $90 million contract withthe Giants, also is being pursued bySan Francisco. The seven-time NLMVP has said he would like to playhis 22nd and perhaps final season forthe Giants and finish his career in SanFrancisco, which hosts the 2007 All-Star game at its waterfront ballpark.

Bonds, who had cleanup surgery inhis troublesome left elbow after theseason ended, has 734 home runs andis 22 away from breaking HankAaron’s career record of 755.

“We’ve talked about a lot of play-ers internally,” said A’s assistant GMDavid Forst, speaking on behalf ofthe organization as Beane deals with adeath in the family. “Barry is one ofthe guys out there who we’re consid-ering. ... He’s probably the best play-er in the game the last 15 years. Ithink anybody would be interested inhaving his bat in the lineup.”

How much that would cost isanother issue all together. If the A’scouldn’t keep Thomas, how wouldthey possibly be able to afford to signBonds — which makes a move byBonds across San Francisco Bay tothe American League appear to be alongshot. With Bonds also comes theconstant accusations of steroid useand the possibility he will be indictedon perjury charges if a federal grandjury finds that he lied to anothergrand jury that he’d never knowinglyused performance-enhancing drugs.

While he is open to being a DHand no longer playing left field,Bonds doesn’t want to take a big paycut next season.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — BoSchembechler, who became one ofcollege football’s great coaches intwo decades at Michigan, died Fridayafter taping a TV show on the eve ofthe Wolverines’ No. 1 vs. No. 2 show-down with perennial rival Ohio State.He was 77.

Schembechler collapsed during thetaping of a television show inSouthfield and was taken by ambu-lance to a nearby hospital. His deathat 11:42 a.m. was confirmed by MikeDowd, chief investigator for the med-ical examiner’s office in OaklandCounty.

Schembechler became ill at thestudios at WXYZ-TV in Southfield,the station said. He also became illthere and was hospitalized Oct. 20.

Police were sent to the stationaround 9:25 a.m. along with the city’sfire department and escorted anambulance to Providence Hospital,Southfield police spokesman JohnHarris said.

Schembechler met with the mediaearlier this week to discussSaturday’s big game.

During the news conference, hediscussed the device that wasimplanted to regulate his heartbeatafter he was hospitalized last month.

He said the device covered abouthalf his chest and that doctors stillwere adjusting it.

Schembechler said he did not planto attend the game in Columbus,Ohio, and that he didn’t attend roadgames anymore.

Schembechler had a heart attackon the eve of his first Rose Bowl in1970 and another one in 1987. He hashad two quadruple heart-bypass oper-ations.

The seven-time Big Ten coach ofthe year compiled a 194-48-5 recordat Michigan from 1969-89.Schembechler’s record in 26 years ofcoaching was 234-64-8.

Schembechler’s Wolverines were11-9-1 against the Buckeyes. But fansin both states generally agree that therivalry’s prime years were 1969-78,when Schembechler opposed hisfriend and coaching guru, WoodyHayes. Ohio State prevailed in thosemeetings, going 5-4-1.

Michigan teams either won orshared the Big Ten champi-onship. Fifteen of them fin-ished in The Associated PressTop 10, with the 1985 teamfinishing No. 2.

Seventeen ofSchembechler’s 21 Michiganteams earned bowl berths.Despite a .796 regular-seasonwinning percentage, hisrecord in bowls was a disap-pointing 5-12, including 2-8in Rose Bowls.

The mythical nationalchampionship eludedSchembechler, but he said thatnever bothered him.

“If you think my career hasbeen a failure because I havenever won a national title, you

have another thing coming,”Schembechler said a fewweeks before coaching hisfinal game.

“I have never played agame for the national title.Our goals always have been towin the Big Ten title and theRose Bowl. If we do that, thenwe consider it a successfulseason.”

His last game asWolverines coach was a 17-10loss to Southern California inthe 1990 Rose Bowl.

One week later,Schembechler — who alsohad been serving as Michiganathletic director since July1988 — was named presidentof the Detroit Tigers.

“I have let that creep in mymind,” Geren said. “All I cansay about him is he’s thegreatest player I’ve ever seenin my baseball life. I couldn’timagine anyone who wouldn’twant him on his team.”

After missing all but 14games in 2005 following three

operations on his right knee,Bonds batted .270 with 26homers and 77 RBIs in 367 at-bats in 2006. His defense inleft field was spotty at times,though Bonds showed late inthe year that he had regainedstrength in his legs and madeseveral running catches.

Bonds has helped theGiants draw 3 million fans inall seven seasons of their sta-dium’s existence.

SAN FRANCISCO — Astate appeals court on Fridaythrew out a jury’s $34.2 mil-lion award to the OaklandRaiders over accusations thatmanagers of the OaklandColiseum falsely promised asold-out stadium to lure theteam back to the Bay Area.

The case dates to 1995,when Raiders owner Al Davismaneuvered to get his teamout of Southern Californiaafter revenues waned, the LosAngeles MemorialColiseum’s foundation wasshaken by an earthquake and adeal collapsed to build a newstadium and horse track.

The Oakland deal, firstinked in 1995 and renegotiat-ed a year later, gave the

Raiders a $53 million loan,$10 million for a trainingcomplex and $100 million torenovate the coliseum, whichis shared with the baseball’sOakland Athletics.

The 3rd District Court ofAppeal in Sacramento said ina 2-1 ruling on Friday thatbecause the Raiders agreed tothe deal a second time, theteam forfeited its right to suefor fraud.

The coliseum, owned bythe city of Oakland andAlameda County, also main-tained any box office flopshould be partly blamed onpricey tickets and poor perfor-mances.

The team’s abysmal 4-12season in its third year afterreturning was one of the worstsince Davis took over four

decades ago.Stadium officials also

argued the team’s owners gotricher by returning to Oaklandand that Davis was told upfront where ticket sales stoodwhen he signed the initialpact.

Raiders general counselJeff Birren said the team wasconsidering an appeal to theCalifornia Supreme Court.

Stadium officials were notimmediately available forcomment.

The case is OaklandRaiders v. Oakland-AlamedaCounty Coliseum Inc.,C045792.

The Associated PressANAHEIM — The

Chicago Blackhawks had apotential tying goal nullifiedin the second period whenTuomo Ruutu was penalizedfor goaltender interference.He more than made up for hismistake.

Ruutu scored to tie thegame with 9:21 left in regula-tion and got the only goal inthe shootout, leading theBlackhawks to a 4-3 victoryover the Anaheim Ducks onFriday night.

Chicago’s NikolaiKhabibulin made 42 saves inhis first start since Oct. 21.The four-time All-Star missedthe previous nine gamesbecause of a broken index fin-ger on the hand he wears hisblocking pad.

“Nick won the game for us,and that’s what he’s there for,”coach Trent Yawney said.“He’s played very well after athree-week hiatus and faced alot of shots. That bodes wellfor him. He had a rusty start,but settled down.”

Patrick Sharp had a goaland an assist, Martin Lapointealso scored and MichaelHolmqvist had two assists,helping the Blackhawks over-come a 3-1 deficit and stop afive-game road losing streak.They have recorded at leastone point in their last fivegames overall, followingseven consecutive losses inregulation.

“It shows a lot that we weredown 3-1 and battled backagainst a really good team,”

Ruutu said.Scott Niedermayer had

three assists for the Ducks,who got power-play goalsfrom Teemu Selanne andChris Kunitz. Ilya Bryzgalovmade 22 saves in his sixthstart this season.

“I think we played goodenough to win the game, butthey got some weird goals,”Selanne said. “The one pointis very important, and we’restill playing very well. Sothat’s really what matters.”

Bryzgalov, competing in ashootout for the first time inhis NHL career, was beaten tothe stick side by Ruutu withChicago’s third shot.

“I just tried to keep thingssimple and shoot hard,” Ruutusaid.

Bryzgalov beat theBlackhawks 3-0 on Oct. 28 atChicago while facing just 14shots, the fewest ever againsta Ducks goaltender in ashutout. The last time he start-ed a game, on Nov. 10 atCalgary, he was benched aftergiving up two goals on threeshots.

Chicago had killed off allbut one of 32 short-handed sit-uations over its previous fivegames, but Anaheim wasawarded 10 consecutivepower plays during onestretch and converted two ofthem into second-periodgoals.

The Blackhawks pulledeven on Sharp’s fourth of theseason and Ruutu’s second.Sharp scored at 16:57 of thesecond period on a deflection

of Holmqvist’s wrist shotfrom the slot, and Ruutu madeit 3-all with a 40-foot wristshot through a screen that beatBryzgalov between the pads.

“I never saw the shot, butit’s still a soft goal. I have tofind the puck,” Bryzgalovsaid.

Early in the first period,referee Dan O’Halloran hadhis arm raised to call adelayed penalty when theDucks pulled Bryzgalov infavor of a sixth attacker.Selanne passed the puck out tothe left point, andNiedermayer snapped off aone-timer that was tipped inby Francois Beauchemin just55 seconds after the openingfaceoff.

Selanne made it 2-0 at 1:38of the second, redirectingNiedermayer’s 50-foot wristshot over Khabibulin’s rightshoulder while TonySalmelainen was serving ahooking penalty.

Chicago cut Anaheim’slead in half at 8:08 of the sec-ond as Lapointe redirectedHolmqvist’s shot pastBryzgalov with his left skate.

The Ducks capitalized on aroughing penalty againstKhabibulin to increase theirmargin to 3-1 at 15:21 of thesecond.

Corey Perry crashed intothe Blackhawks’ goalie duringan offensive rush and knockedthe net off its moorings.Khabibulin threw a retaliatorypunch at Perry while theDucks’ forward was lying onthe ice.

scanning the area, we noticeda small, partially submergedwhite car. At this time we alsonoticed a person in the waternext to the car,” he said. “Wecould see someone’s headnext to the car, as if they weretreading water,” he said, not-ing that right before that theysaw people on the washed-outroadside near the RussianRiver trying to get their atten-tion by pointing toward the“mostly submerged” car.

“We quickly shifted fromsearch mode to rescue mode,”he said.

Moyer said he put on hisfins, helmet “and whatnot,” toprepare for “a direct deploy-ment,” meaning he’d be low-ered from the helicopter in aharness, into the rushing waterbelow.

He brought along a strop, toplace around the victim -- awoman in her 60s -- so she

could be hoisted out of thewater with him.

“You could only see theroof of the car. She was on thedriver’s side outside of the car,but holding onto it treadingwater. I put the strop aroundher. She was very scared andvery hypothermic. Once I gother situated I gave the ‘readyfor pick up’ signal, and theflight mechanic who does thehoisting started to lift us upand then he immediately setus back down in the water,”Moyer said, noting that thewoman, whose name he doesnot recall, was panicking atthis point.

“I am trying to calm herdown ... I try to swim heraway from the car but weweren’t going anywhere,” hesaid, noting the door of the carwas open, even though itcould not be seen below thewater, and they were both inthe ‘V’ between the driver’sside door and the car.

“The current was flowingin the direction of the hood ofthe car, creating an eddy that

was pinning us inside the ‘V,’”he said.

“We try getting hoistedagain, and again it’s not work-ing. At this point, I realize sheis trapped by something;something is holding her tothe car. As I am trying to gether free, at this point, thewater level is probably up toher chin ... the car is starting tosettle and the water is rising.She is screaming. She lookedright at me and said, ‘We aregoing to drown,’” Moyer said.

He said he reached downand could feel what felt like aseat belt around her feet, so heused his switchblade knife --part of the standard gear hecarries as a helicopter rescueswimmer -- and blindly start-ing cutting through all thewebbing he could feel.

“As soon as I cut through it,she was free of the car and theflight mechanic hoists us up.As we were being hoistedfrom the water, in a panic, shereached up and bear-huggedme around the neck and shoul-der. I knew that by hanging on

like that, the strop was notsupporting her weight. I heldon as tight as I could.

“If I let go, I knew that shewould drop about a footbefore the strop would holdher. If she did drop one foot,with her hands above her headin the position that they werewould cause the strop to slideright off of her and she wouldfall back to the water,” hesaid.

So he held onto her with atight grip, which preventedhim from getting centered, hesaid, resulting in them spin-ning in the air, “pretty drasti-cally” on the way up to thehelicopter.

Once inside the cabin,Moyer said he made sure shewas physically uninjured andthen wrapped her in a warmblanket.

Asked if he was nervousduring the rescue, he said: “Iwas briefly nervous becauseshe was attached to a car thatwas more or less sinking. Justtrying to keep her calm wasthe biggest thing, and this all

happened within the span ofabout two minutes.”

Moyer -- who has beenwith the Coast Guard for 10years, a helicopter rescueswimmer for about eight ofthem -- described this as oneof the most dramatic rescueshe’s been involved in. “If weweren’t there, within a fewminutes she absolutely wouldhave died,” he said.

Knowing he saved her life“is a good feeling,” he said.“That is why we do the job.It’s nice when we are actuallyable to put our training touse.”

Moyer said “we” becausehe feels the rescue wouldn’thave been successful withoutassistance from the pilots andthe flight mechanic.

“I cannot overemphasizethe skill of both the pilots --Lt. Commander Mike Plattand Lt. Commander AlAntaran -- and the flightmechanic, Tim Johnson, forrecognizing the danger of thesituation and performing per-fectly under pressure. ByJohnson suspecting the sur-vivor was entangled and notforcing the hoist he preventedher from suffering seriousinjury and possibly loss oflife.”

Moyer was awarded theCoast Guard Air Medal for hisrole in rescuing the woman.The three crew members withhim that night received CoastGuard Achievement Medals.

“We found out later thatthey had gone around to otherhouses in that subdivision andtold people to evacuate, but noone came to our house,”Sharon said, noting she hadalso been on the Internet andlistening to the radio and tele-vision in an attempt to getinformation, but was unsuc-cessful.

Meanwhile, the water wasrising outside of their house.

“We did try to get to theirhouse, but we were thwartedby the pressure of the water,”Miller said, noting it was rag-ing at 25 mph on the roadleading to their driveway.

Richard, too, noted thatsomewhere around midnight,“the great big fire truck camereally slowly all the way downto our driveway -- at the endof Gobbi Street. It got right toour gate and then backed upand left,” he said. “We foundout later that the water wasmoving the truck, so theycouldn’t get up to the house.”

The house, located on aknoll, was ironically a fairlysafe place for them to be at thetime, trapped as they were.

“When we got to them theirhouse was high and dry, so Idon’t think they were everreally in danger, until we start-ed the rescue,” Miller said.“Sometimes people are flood-ed and there’s no way out, butthey are not in the water.”

Asked if they were scared,Sharon said “no, because ithad happened other times.”

Richard agreed. “One ofthe rescuers suggested weshould have gotten out beforewe had to be rescued,” hesaid, but Sharon added thatthere was no way for them toknow this flood was going tobe different from those in thepast, when the water roseslightly and then receded.

“It just seemed like it cameup so fast ... and this was thefirst time water ever came intothe house,” she said.

Responding again to thequestion of whether she wasscared, she said “not until thewater started coming into thehouse, because it was really

loud for one thing, and it wasrushing around the whole out-side of the house. Then itstarted bubbling up throughthe floor board,” she said, not-ing they were able to geteverything, such as furniture,up off the floor ahead of thewater.

After that, all they could dowas wait for help.

“We knew we couldn’t goout on foot,” Sharon said.

“And we couldn’t swimout. The water was too swift,”Richard said.

Meanwhile, they continuedto try to find out just how badthe situation was.

“We were talking to 911; Iwas trying to be really calm,but I was getting a little ner-vous ... (the dispatcher) reallycouldn’t tell me anything,”Sharon said. “I tried to findout if anyone was going tocome and get us, and she saidall she knew was they were

trying to locate a boat,”Sharon said. “By the time wesort of gave up -- and we werejust going to sit it out -- they(the swift water rescue team)showed up about 2 a.m.”

At this point, there wasabout an inch of water in thehouse, about two feet of waterbelow the knoll the house sitson, and “farther down the dri-veway toward the road, at thegate, the water was chestdeep,” Sharon said.

“The force of the rushingwater was tremendous,”Richard said. “That is why thefire truck had to stop.”

Keith Faulder said he want-ed go to his neighbors’ house,to see if they were home, buthe couldn’t get to it.

“We were scared for them,but I couldn’t get down there.The water was too deep andmoving too quickly and I did-n’t know if anyone was there.... I was walking eastbound on

Gobbi Street and the waterwas almost up to my chest,and the river was flowingwestbound, so I was walkingupstream.”

Faulder did manage to gethis other neighbor, Shoshana,and his own family, safely outof the area.

“I went back to Shoshana’shouse and I told her ‘We’vegot to get out of here.’ Thenmy wife, three dogs and mydaughter got in a JeepCherokee and (I andShoshana) got into a GMCJimmy, and we drove out.

“Fifteen minutes had goneby and by now the water wasup to the bottom of the cardoors and lapping at thethreshold of Shoshana’s front(house) door. Then we drovedown the driveway towardGobbi Street -- our house is ona rise -- and by the time we gotto Gobbi Street the water wasalmost up to the outside door

handles of our cars. As wedrove, the water was comingover the top of the hood. Itwas absolutely frightening,”Faulder said.

He and his family stayed ina hotel for the next three orfour days, he said. “We paidfor it ourselves; we didn’t seekany help ... we just ate it,” hesaid.

But the cost of a hotel wasthe least of their expenses.

While Faulder’s house --which is about three-and-a-half-feet above the groundthat flooded -- stayed intact,he said, his garage flooded,destroying thousands of dol-lars worth of power tools, aswell as photographs, docu-ments and other items.

“My motorcycle gotwashed away. ... The mostexpensive stuff for us were thecars. Our Volkswagen bugwas washed down ... movedabout 30 feet and flooded and

covered with mud on theinside, and our Saab had abouttwo inches of water and mudin it,” Faulder said.

The Malariches’ workshop,located behind the house onlower ground, suffered themost damage, Richard said.“It was under two feet ofwater ... our cars, parked infront of the workshop andalongside of the house, bothhad water up to the dash-boards.”

Because they were rentingthe residence they have sincemoved out of, they did nothave to pay for repairs, butthey did have a muddy messto clean up.

After their rescue, theMalariches spent two nights ata hotel, courtesy of theirdaughter-in-law, beforereturning home. “We wentback two days later, becausewe couldn’t get in until twodays later, and we did as muchcleanup as we could. We tookthe wall-to-wall carpeting outof the house and threw itaway. The furniture was OKbecause it had been moved offthe floor, so we just had toclean a lot of mud out of thehouse,” Richard said.

On March 1, they moved tohigher ground on Orr SpringsRoad. “We moved because thecondition of the house afterthe flood was so bad wecouldn’t stay,” Richard said.“We got tired of the smell ofold, wet wood.”

The flood is now “waterunder the bridge,” but fondmemories still remain.

“That rescue team was sowonderful, so nice and so pro-fessional,” Sharon said.

Richard agreed. “Theyknew exactly what to do,” hesaid.

“They were incredible,”Sharon said. “They were insuch good spirits. They camein and introduced themselves... shook our hands as we arestanding in the water in ourhouse. ... They are great guys.They even came back a coupledays later to check on us.They just came around to seehow we were,” Sharon said.“That was really sweet.”

to this all year round,” Broinsaid. “That’s what it takes.”

Gregg Smith served as theinterim OES coordinator dur-ing last year’s floods, butBroin said the county is betterserved now that there is oneperson who works on emer-gency preparedness full time.

Broin also said the OES is amarked improvement over theolder Mendocino EmergencyServices Authority, which hesaid was slower because itwas too complex.

“There were too many enti-ties involved in it,” Broin said.“Things will go quicker andsmoother with a direct link.”

Dewey said the OES andcity and county administrationhave been working with allthe involved organizations,including law enforcement,

fire departments, emergencymedical services, the publichealth office, the office ofeducation and the health clin-ics to make sure they are pre-pared in future.

“All the agencies are takingthis seriously,” Dewey said.

The Ukiah Fire Departmenthas been working with the cityto update the city’s emergencyplan and has been holdingdrills for department heads toprepare for future incidents.

UFD has also purchased anew swift-water rescue boatand sent UFD Capt. CharlieMiller to training in how touse it.

“He’ll be training the restof the department,” saidUkiah Fire Chief TonyClarabut.

“The Fire Department ispretty well prepared and Ithink the city is well pre-pared,” Clarabut said.

The OES and fire depart-ments have also distributed

emergency medical supplies,two-way radios and otherequipment at several points inthe north part of the countyand on the coast. Grebil saidthere are plans to add moresupplies along the south coastin the future.

Among the problems valleyresidents said they faced dur-ing the flood was the difficul-ty of spreading evacuationinformation except by havingemergency workers go door-to-door.

“Generally speaking, door-to-door is one of the quickestways to make sure you geteveryone,” Clarabut said.

Broin said there are plansto use the radio to disseminatethat information in the future.Woodworth said he waschecking to make sure hewould be able to break intocanned radio programming inthe event of an emergency.

Iraqi police saycriminal gangkidnapped securitycompany workers

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) —British soldiers backed byU.S. military helicopters bat-tled insurgents near theKuwaiti border Friday, closeto where a private securityteam of four Americans andan Austrian were kidnapped.A top police official said acriminal gang had snatchedthe men and demanded ran-som.

Gunmen wearing policeuniforms abducted the securi-ty team near Safwan, a largelySunni Arab city of 200,000people in southern Iraq. Theattack took place shortly afterthe Westerners had crossed theKuwaiti border with a largeconvoy of supply trucks.

The convoy was travelingon the Iraq Military Road,which is infrequently used bycivilian vehicles. Sunni insur-gents attack supply convoyson a daily basis, not only onthe roads from Kuwait butalso from Turkey in the northand Jordan in the west.

Basra police Maj. Gen. Alial-Moussawi refused to givedetails of the ransom demandlate Friday after a series ofconfused and apparentlyincorrect reports that various-ly claimed the Austrian hadbeen found dead and one ofthe Americans was gravelywounded. Another discountedreport came from the Basragovernor, who had said twoAmericans were freed and onehostage killed.

U.S. military plans$125 million legalcompound atGuantanamo

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico(AP) — The U.S. military onFriday said it plans to build a$125 million compound at theGuantanamo Bay Naval Basewhere it hopes to hold war-crimes trials for terror sus-pects by the middle of nextyear.

The compound, designed toaccommodate as many as1,200 people, would includedining areas, work spaces andsleeping accommodations foradministrative personnel,lawyers, journalists and othersinvolved in trials at the isolat-ed detention center in south-east Cuba.

It would create a total ofthree courtrooms on the baseto allow for simultaneous tri-als, and a separate high-secu-rity area to house thedetainees on trial.

“We need to build morecourtrooms, and we want todo multiple trials,” said NavyLt. Cmdr. Chito Peppler, aPentagon spokesman. He saidthe government hopes tobegin construction as soon aspossible to be ready for trialsno later than July 1.

Human rights groups andforeign governments havecalled on the Bush administra-tion to close Guantanamo,saying detainees are beingheld illegally, but the plannedconstruction of new facilitiesunderscores its permanence.

Howard Deandefends 50-statestrategy, assails ‘oldDemocratic Party’

TETON VILLAGE, Wyo.(AP) — Democratic chairmanHoward Dean on Friday tooka swipe at Washington criticswho questioned his strategy ofspending money in all 50states, dismissing them as the“old Democratic Party.”

Basking in the afterglow oflast week’s election victories,Dean told the state partychairmen who were amongthe biggest beneficiaries of hisstrategy that it was anapproach marked byDemocratic wins at all levelsof government.

“It was a great win for whatI call the new DemocraticParty,” Dean said in a speechto the Association of StateDemocratic Chairs. “This isthe new Democratic Party.The old Democratic Party isback there in Washington,sometimes they still complaina little bit.”

In recent days, politicalstrategist James Carville, bestknown for his work on BillClinton’s campaign in 1992,has assailed Dean, saying heleft too much money in thebank that could have beenused to seize an even largerDemocratic majority inCongress.

FDA ends 14-yearban on silicone-gelbreast implants

WASHINGTON (AP) —The government ended a 14-year virtual ban on silicone-gel breast implants Fridaydespite lingering safety con-cerns, making the devicesavailable to tens of thousandsof women who have clamored

for them.The Food and Drug

Administration approved theimplants made by InamedCorp. — now part of AllerganInc. — and Mentor Corp., thetwo California companiessaid. FDA planned a telecon-ference late Friday toannounce a product approval.

The action opens theimplants to much wider use by

women seeking to reconstructor augment their breasts.Since 1992, the siliconeimplants had been availableonly as part of research stud-ies. They first went on themarket in 1962, before theFDA required proof that allmedical devices be safe andeffective. Thirty years later,they were banned amid con-cerns about their safety.

A typical Leonid shower inNovember brings 10 to 20meteors an hour under idealviewing conditions.

But this year, the Earth ispassing through a denser trailof debris left by the CometTempel-Tuttle, causing ahigher concentration of mete-ors.

another.Citing new programs and

equipment at the city level,and a revised EmergencyOperations Plan and now full-time emergency services coor-dinator at the county level,they say they are as preparedas possible to respond to theunexpected.

“Any disaster is unique, so

being able to quickly respondin that situation is key, and Ithink we’re ready,” Mendo-cino County SupervisorMichael Delbar said.

Since the unexpectedstorms, both the city andcounty have reviewed theirresponses and made adjust-ments.

“The water came fromsomeplace that’s beyond ourcontrol,” Ukiah City Council-man Doug Crane said, “butwhat we do have some abilityto effect is the response andthe tools for the response, and

there have been substantialinterdepartmental discussionsabout what tools are neededand how to utilize them.”

One such improvement tothe city’s response fleet is anew swift water rescue boatOK’d by the council in June’sbudget hearings.

“I feel confident that wehave improved the situation,”Ukiah Mayor Mark Ashikusaid. “There’s no such thing asperfection in emergency pre-paredness, only to do the bestyou can do, and the city isdoing precisely that.”

Ashiku, along withCouncilman John McCowen,named the creation of theCommunity EmergencyResponse Team program,which trains individuals to befirst responders in their ownneighborhoods, an importantstep toward preparedness.

“I think city crews respond-ed very well to the last flood,which was unexpected and ofhistoric proportions. Buteveryone agrees that in a trueemergency, citizens are goingto have to be prepared to helpthemselves.” McCowen said.

Supervisor JimWattenburger said his ownexperience last winter wasenough to show the county’slevel of preparation.

“Having observed the NewYear’s flood firsthand, havingparticipated in the operationas the county supervisor forDistrict 2 (Ukiah) I think weare outstandingly prepared forevacuations, rescues, fordeployment of resources andrelocation of residents to shel-ters. That was an example tome that yes, we are preparedfor this winter,” Wattenburger

said.He added that the hiring of

Bill Woodworth, a former cityof Ukiah firefighter, to replaceinterim Emergency ServicesCoordinator Gregg Smithmeans more time will be spentaddressing emergency issues.

“We pulled off last year’sevent without a loss of life,and that is an incredible feat,”Delbar said, “but hopefully wedon’t have to experience lastwinter over again.”

None of them are any moreprepared for next time -- ifthere is a next time -- thanthey were before.

Why?Because it’s expensive and

it’s generally not really neces-sary, they said.

“I wasn’t bothered thatmuch. I had no damage insidethe building,” said a man whoowns a four-plex in the court.“I did put my tenants up inmotels for a couple of days,until the water went down. ...Some of the places got flood-ed pretty bad, but mine wasn’tone of them. My storagerooms were flooded and (thewater) did a lot of damage tomy fences, and that kind ofthing, but the four-plex wasOK.”

Asked if he’s prepared forthe next one, he said “no,nobody is. ... If the (CoyoteValley) dam broke we’d all bein trouble. Nobody would be

safe.”In Myers’ duplex, the flood

brought about four inches ofmud and water into the units,but he considers himselflucky.

“At the cul-de-sac I wastold there was upwards oftwo- to three feet of mud andwater. ... It was very traumat-ic. I am trying to put it inwords,” he said. “The surprisewas the late notification of thepotential danger of the floodto the tenants. For example,one lady, (one of his renters)told me she kept seeing emer-gency lights and she calledover the fence to see what washappening and it was likethere was nothing wrong. Thisprobably went on for an hour.She was told ‘everything isunder control.’

“It was over an hour laterthat there was a knock on thedoor telling her to immediate-ly evacuate, and within proba-bly seconds, water was com-ing in the back of the duplex.So they (tenants) had nochance of moving furnitureand personal items. My ten-

ants were fortunate becausewe were on the higher side ofthe court, but those at the cul-de-sac had tremendous dam-age. I felt so bad for the ten-ants there; it was just horrif-ic,” Myers said, noting thatafter the flood the residencesat the end of the cul-de-sacwere vacant for a month orlonger.

As disturbed as he was bythe damage, Myers still doesnot have flood insurance.

“It’s not a requirement,however when I checked withthe insurance company after(the flood) to find out if Ishould have it, I was told thedeductibles are really high andany secondary structure wouldnot be covered. For example,(flood waters) took down thewhole fence line on PerkinsStreet and that would not be acovered item. And that was apretty substantial cost, justgetting the fences back up,” hesaid.

Asked if he’s prepared fornext time, Myers, too said“no, I would say we are not. Ithink that is the scary part. I

have told my tenants if theyever have any inkling of thishappening to get out. My realconcern is their safety andsecurity. My losses were min-imal compared to their emo-tional losses and their person-al property ... their Christmasgifts ... it was terrible. I wasdown there two days after-ward; people were tearing outtheir carpets, mattresses wereout in the street. ... It was ter-rible.”

Helen McChesney ownsseveral properties in the OakManor Court area.

Like the others, she doesn’tcarry flood insurance on themajority of her rentals,because she does not think it’snecessary.

Most insurance companiesdon’t handle flood insurance,according to Frank Mansell,public information officerwith the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency. “That iswhy we have the NationalFlood Insurance Program,” hesaid, noting it’s funded by thefederal government.

Asked why most insurance

companies don’t offer theirown flood insurance, Mansellsaid “it’s a losing propositionfor insurance companies ... soin 1968 Congress passed theNational Flood InsuranceProgram Act, which meansevery homeowner and busi-ness in the United States is eli-gible for flood insuranceregardless where they live.”

Private insurers offer it, butit’s underwritten by the feder-al government, said CarolMyer, a local State FarmInsurance agent.

“The federal governmentmandates how policies have toread and how claims will bepaid. ... If you carry contents,it will cover that. If you carrythe dwelling, it will cover thedwelling, but (policies) don’tcover outbuildings and theydon’t cover everything,” shesaid.

“A homeowners policy isdesigned to put you back intothe place you were prior to theloss. A flood policy isdesigned to ‘assist’ you in get-ting back to where you were.Most of my folks do not have

flood insurance unless theirlender requires them to. Thereare certain areas where alender will look at a flood mapand say ‘You have to haveflood coverage,’” Myer said,noting it can be pretty expen-sive.

That said, Oak Manor resi-dents who did have it duringthe flood are probably gladthey did.

“Oak Manor is in a floodplain and I had folks who(prior to the flood) said ‘Ihave to have this flood insur-ance and I’ve never used it,’”Myer said. “December of lastyear was kind of proof whylenders require you carry it,”she said.

The majority of policyholders at AAA Insurance alsodo not have flood insurance,according to the Ukiah branchmanager, who like Myer notedthe exception would be thosewho are required by lenders todo so.

Sunday, Nov. 19, 2006The past may not have

always been kind, but it didteach you many valuablelessons. In the year ahead,you will find many ways toutilize this knowledge andyour acquired skills to youradvantage.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.

22) -- You’re not necessarilynoted for being a moodyperson, but waking up on thewrong side of the bed couldcause you to be a touchy anddifficult person to bearound. Don’t give into it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec. 21) -- It’s not likeyou to be timid, yet you’relikely to be a bit skittishabout requesting terms orconditions when making apurchase. If you believeyou’re entitled to them,

speak up.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-

Jan. 19) -- Choosing yourassociates on the basis ofwhat a person can do for youwill prove to be counterpro-ductive. You’ll enjoy yourday far greater if you’re theone doing for others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It’s a mistake tosimply assume any situationyou get into will turn out tobe a positive experience. Bewary of getting involvedwith someone about whomyou know little.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March20) -- Although usually yourhunches and feelings arepretty reliable, they are justas likely to put you off thebeaten path. Base your

assessments only on a largedose of reality and logicalconclusions.

ARIES (March 21-April19) -- Avoid cliques or peo-ple who tend to like to gos-sip about pals who aren’tthere. If for some reasonyou’re stuck with their com-pany, be the one who onlyhas nice things to say aboutothers.

TAURUS (April 20-May20) -- Don’t let a case of theearly-morning blues causeyou to turn down a socialinvitation. Should yourmood suddenly change later,you won’t want to be arecluse.

GEMINI (May 21-June20) -- An indecisive attitudeconcerning work projects

you had hoped to tacklecould cause you to wasteprecious time getting start-ed. Assemble all the equip-ment and don’t fret over“maybes.”

CANCER (June 21-July22) -- When someone comesto you for some sage advice,your first inclination is to bekind and tell this persononly what he or she wants tohear. It’ll be more helpful tobe honest in a gentle way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Tasks that are tediousand/or exacting should bescheduled for early in theday when you are likely tobe far more industrious andproductive. As the hours tickaway, so does your energy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- Be cautious aboutmaking snap judgmentsabout people you meet forthe first time. If you are a bittoo gullible and susceptibleto flattery, a clever personcould easily take you in.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.23) -- It might be fun to goshopping, but sales, bargainsor discounts could be far tooappealing for your pocket-book to handle. Don’t beenticed to spend money forthings you don’t need.

Scorpio, treat yourself toa birthday gift. Send foryour Astro-Graph year-ahead predictions by mail-ing $2 to Astro-Graph, c/othis newspaper, P.O. Box167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to state yourzodiac sign.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have beenmarried for nine years. We’ve had our ups anddowns, like any couple. However, I recentlycaught my husband using our credit card to buytime on an adult Web site. This Web site allowsusers to see photos and video clips, and haveprivate nude online chats with women. Myhusband then satisfies himself. I was crushedto learn of this.

My husband told me he does this because Idon’t have enough sex with him. He wants sexevery day. Annie, I just don’t think about sex asmuch as he does. I am too busy trying to makesure the bills are paid, the house cleaned andour two daughters cared for.

I don’t know how to handle this. Pictures areone thing, but this is something else. I feel likehe is cheating on me. The only thing missing isthe woman physically being in the room. Whatdo I do? -- Married to a Porn Addict

Dear Married: It is a form of cheatingwhen your husband is regularly having sex

while watching or talking to another woman,and you are not involved. Your husband thinksbecause it is online, there are no consequences.He’s wrong. What’s worse is that some of theseonline porn sites are very addictive and it maybe difficult for your husband to give up his lit-tle hobby. Insist on counseling so you can workon your marriage, together, and figure out howto make things better for both of you.

Dear Annie: My fiancee, “Patti,” and I havebeen together for two years. We don’t plan tomarry for a while. In the early stages of ourrelationship, she brought up the idea of takinga vacation to Mexico. I told her it would begreat but suggested we pay our own way. (I

don’t make that much money. She actuallyearns more than I do.) Patti apparently thoughtI should pay for both of us, but she never saidso and I had no idea. We never took the trip.

I recently found out this vacation was thecatalyst for other money issues in our relation-ship. Patti accused me of being unwilling topay for anything. Frankly, I don’t understandwhy, just because I am the man, I’m supposedto go broke paying for our entertainment, and Itold her that.

My friends say Patti is a golddigger, and herfriends say I’m not in her class. Patti says sheis independent and can take care of herself, butin the same breath says, “I’m just old-fash-ioned.”

Patti has told me she holds some resentmentbecause of the money issue. I actually feelguilty about it. I agree that in the beginning ofa relationship, the man should pay for dinner,movies, etc., but at what point should thefinances become equal? -- Money Problems

Dear Money: It is unfair for a woman toexpect a man to pay for dinners, movies andtrips to Mexico when he has limited financesand she makes more than he does. No womanwants a boyfriend who is cheap, but she shouldnot expect you to go into debt for her enter-

tainment. This is irresponsible and inconsider-ate. We strongly recommend you and Patti getcouples counseling and work this out beforeyou tie the knot.

Dear Annie: You told your readers to checkorganizations that sponsor foster children.How do we get this information? I try to beselective when making donations, but how do Iknow if the money goes in the right hands? --Aloha, Richard in Hawaii

Dear Richard: Glad you asked. Check theBetter Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance(give.org), 4200 Wilson Blvd., Suite 800,Arlington, VA 22203; and the AmericanInstitute of Philanthropy (charitywatch.org),3450 North Lake Shore Dr., Chicago, IL60657.

Associated PressHARTFORD, Conn. — Two

armed thugs tried to rob a lineof people waiting for the newPlayStation 3 game system togo on sale early Friday and shotone man who refused to give uphis money, authorities said.

In Sullivan, Ind., a man wasin critical condition after emer-gency surgery for a stab woundafter he and a friend tried to robtwo men of consoles they wait-ed 36 hours in line to buy,police said.

Nationwide, short suppliesof the PS3 and strong demandled to long lines of buyers,some waiting for days outsidestores. Once the doors openedFriday, they pushed and shovedtheir way to the shelves in sev-eral cities to get at the limitedsupply. Two people were arrest-

ed in Fresno, after a crowdtrampled people in a parkinglot.

It was about 3 a.m. when thetwo gunmen in Putnam, a townof about 9,000 residents innortheast Connecticut, con-fronted 15 to 20 people stand-ing outside a Wal-Mart storeand demanded money, saidState Police Lt. J. Paul Vance.

“One of the patrons resisted.That patron was shot,” Vancesaid.

Vance said the gunmen fledafter shooting Michael Penkala,21, of Webster, Mass., in thechest and shoulder. Penkala wasin stable condition at theUniversity of MassachusettsMedical Center in Worcester,Mass., with injuries notbelieved to be life-threatening,Vance said.

Police were searching for thesuspects, both believed to be intheir teens, Vance said. He saidone was wearing a ski mask andbrandishing a handgun, and theother had what appeared to be ashotgun.

About 30 miles away, anoth-er shopper was beaten androbbed of his new PlayStation 3just minutes after he bought it ata store in Manchester, policesaid.

The shopper told police fivemen surrounded and beat himas he left the Shoppes atBuckland Hills.

Police Sgt. Chris Davis saidthe attackers pushed one of theircohorts out of the car as theydrove away. That man, a 17-year-old from Windsor, wascharged with robbery, larceny,assault and breach of peace.

Four other teenagers werearrested, and more arrests wereexpected, police told WTNH-TV late Friday.

Andrew Templeton, 20, andDavid Wiggins, 28, of Sullivan,Ind., were assaulted by twoteens after waiting for 36 hoursat a Super Wal-Mart, policesaid.

They were unloading theirPlayStation 3s from their carwhen two teens approachedthem carrying a chain and a tireiron and demanding their con-soles, said Sullivan Police ChiefDavid Story.

A fight broke out. Wiggins’nose was broken, and hestabbed one of the attackers,Dylan Moss, 19, police said.Moss was in critical conditionafter surgery, officials said.

Sullivan County Prosecutor

Bob Springer said he plans tocharge Moss and accompliceDustin Fagg, 19, with felonyrobbery.

Elsewhere, two men wearingblack ski masks and sunglassesmade off with five consolesafter holding two employees atgunpoint at an Englewood,Ohio, video game store

Thursday night, police said.In Lexington, Ky., someone

fired BB pellets from a passingvehicle at people waiting out-side a Best Buy store, accordingto WKYT, whose own reportersaid she was among four peoplegrazed while she interviewedbuyers in line.
