By LINDA WILLIAMSThe Willits News

A fire Tuesday on Blue Lakes Roadnear Spring Creek and oneWednesday on Hearst Willits Roadnear Eden Valley were quickly extin-guished this week by volunteer firecrews and Cal Fire.

On Tuesday, the Brooktrails FireDepartment responded to a fire onBlue Lakes Road. The fast action byBFD aided by air tanker drops, a heli-tack crew and inmate crews held thefire to a small area. Coals dumped outafter a Labor Day barbecue apparent-ly reignited and caused the blaze.

“Fortunately our aerial patrol co-opspotted the fire late in the afternoon,”Brooktrails Fire Chief DarylSchoeppner said. “Spotting it early

allowed us to limit the fire size.”Apparently, the property owner,

who lives in the Bay Area, dumpedthe coals out after a weekend familybarbecue. The fire reignited after thehomeowner returned to the Bay Area.

The Eden Valley blaze began after2 p.m. Wednesday near Hearst WillitsRoad about five miles past the EelRiver bridge. The blaze was limited to13 acres, according to Little Lake FireDepartment Chief Shane Burke andthe cause is still under investigation.

Little Lake Fire and Cal Fire han-dled the blaze with one air attackplane, two air tankers, four engines,hand crews and a convict fire crew.Local residents also worked to limitthe fire spread before Cal Fireresponded.

The weather cooled off just in time andsome of the chili did not for GraniteConstruction Company’s 10th annual ChiliCook-Off Friday evening in downtown Ukiah.

At Alex R. Thomas Jr. Plaza, part of thestreet was closed off to traffic and easy listen-ing rock-n-roll music flowed through the

speakers.Beginning in the afternoon, an island of

chili makers formed in the plaza’s center. Eachteam occupied a booth decorated for the occa-sion.

“If you don’t like your chili you can patchyour driveway with it,” Granite Construction’sPat Traverso told the crowd on the loud speak-er.

The chili cook off raises money for theBoys and Girls Club of Ukiah, which providesafter-school help to children and many otheractivities.

A “power hour” when school kids do home-work for one hour is a way that the club helpschildren, said Liz Elmore from the Boys and

CHILICOOK-OFF

By ROB BURGESSThe Daily Journal

Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Napa Valley)doesn’t seem outwardly concerned withthe competition for his job in the Nov. 4election.

“I think I’m OK,” he said, referring tohis chances of besting Republican com-petitor Zane Starkewolf, of Davis. “I justdo my work. I’ve never met him.”

Thompson was in Ukiah meeting withconstituents this weekduring the House ofR e p r e s e n t a t i v e ’ s“Summer District WorkPeriod,” which lastedthrough Friday.

In a Gallup pollreleased in June though,only 14 percent ofAmericans have a“great deal” or “quite alot” of confidence inCongress.

Thompson said thatdespite his feelingsabout his own job security, CongressionalDemocrats as a whole have a lot of workto do to dig themselves out of the rut ofpublic opinion they find themselves in.

“I think there’s a lot of frustration,” hesaid. “They want universal health care,they want a responsible plan for Iraq. A lotof that frustration comes from this admin-istration. They’ve vetoed so much, includ-ing children’s health care. They’ve beenvery friendly to oil companies. They’vegiven them total giveaways. They’vemade a lot of money with this administra-tion and they’re not going to let that goeasily.”

On the subject of Republican presiden-tial contender Sen. John McCain’s newly-announced vice-presidential pick Gov.Sarah Palin of Alaska, Thompson said talkof her personal life was a distraction fromthe issues at hand.

“I don’t know anything about her,” hesaid. “All this tabloid stuff about his pickhas obfuscated some of the issues. It waswhat was best for him politically.”

Before she dropped out of contentionfor his party’s nomination, Thompson sup-ported Sen. Hillary Clinton’s bid for theWhite House. He said he now supportsSen. Barack Obama and isn’t worriedabout reports that other former Clintonsupporters are hesitant to make the sameswitch.

“Anyone who’s saying they were goingto Clinton and is now saying they’re going

McCain and Palin present themselvesas reformers as they campaign in Wis.

CEDARBURG, Wis. (AP) — John McCain said Friday thesagging economy has brought “tough times all over America”as he made a splashy debut with Sarah Palin in criticalMidwestern states as the newly crowned Republican presiden-tial ticket.

A crowd of thousands cheered the Arizona senator andAlaska governor as they presented themselves as a team ofreformers eager to challenge Washington’s political establish-ment.

“John McCain doesn’t run with the Washington herd,” saidPalin, the 44-year-old Alaska governor and surprise pick asMcCain’s running mate.

“It’s over. It’s over. It’s over for the special interests,”McCain promised. “We’re going to start working for the peopleof this country.”

Twelve hours after leaving the Republican convention inMinnesota, McCain and Palin were cheered and applauded by athrong of thousands that wound down several streets ofCedarburg, a traditional Republican enclave withinDemocratic-leaning Wisconsin.

Obama: McCain’s speech shows GOP isout of touch with middle-class struggles

DURYEA, Pa. (AP) — Democrat Barack Obama calledRepublican rival John McCain’s acceptance speech the finalpiece of an out-of-touch convention that focused on its nomi-nee’s biography instead of the struggles of the middle class.

“If you watched the Republican National Convention overthe last three days, you wouldn’t know that we have the highestunemployment in five years because they didn’t say a thingabout what is going on with the middle class,” Obama toldworkers at a specialty glass factory.

“They spent a lot of time talking about John McCain’s biog-raphy, which we all honor,” the Illinois senator said. “Theytalked about me a lot, in less than respectful terms. What theydidn’t talk about is you and what you’re seeing in your lives andwhat you’re going through, or what your friends or your neigh-

bors are going through.”Obama pointed out that the nation’s unemployment rate

zoomed to a five-year high of 6.1 percent in August, accordingto a government jobs report issued Friday.

“We’ve now lost 605,000 jobs since the beginning of thisyear,” Obama said. “We’ve had eight consecutive months of joblosses.”

Hanna charges for the Carolinas — andHurricane Ike isn’t far behind

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — Tropical Storm Hannapicked up speed Friday as it cruised toward the Carolinas,promising to deliver gusty winds and heavy rain during a dashup the Eastern Seaboard that could wash out the weekend formillions of people.

Not far behind was a much bigger worry: a ferocious-look-ing Hurricane Ike, on a path similar to the one taken by Andrew,the Category 5 monster that devastated South Florida in 1992.Ike could hit Florida by the middle of next week.

In only a few spots in the Carolinas did emergency officialsurge evacuations or open shelters for Hanna. Forecasters saidthere was only a small chance it could become a hurricane, andmost people simply planned to stay off the roads until the stormpassed.

“If it was a Category 1 or 2, I might think about leaving,”said Eddie Brown of Gastonia, N.C., who planned to spend theweekend at Myrtle Beach. “And I tell you, if it was Ike, I’d

already be long gone.”Rain started to fall early Friday on the Carolina coast, with

streets in some spots flooding by late afternoon and windsexpected to pick up later in the night. Hanna was expected toblow ashore between Myrtle Beach and Charleston overnight,then race up the Atlantic Coast, reaching New England bySunday morning. Tropical storm watches or warnings ran fromGeorgia to Massachusetts, and included all of Chesapeake Bay,the Washington, D.C., area and Long Island.

Biden, Palin just soldiers, but Iraq makesfor backdrop to race for White House

WASHINGTON (AP) — The long and divisive war in Iraqis about to resonate with presidential candidates in a way notseen so far in the campaign: the sons of both vice presidentialnominees are assigned to go there soon.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s eldest son, Track, will performsecurity duties for his brigade’s top officers.

“He’s just like any other infantry soldier here,” said ArmyCol. Burt Thompson, who heads the 1st Stryker BrigadeCombat Team at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. “He tries to remainas anonymous as he possibly can.”

Which is harder than it sounds. The British governmentdecided earlier this year it had to pull Prince Harry fromAfghanistan after news leaked he was fighting there. Thatsparked a debate about whether the children of powerful politi-cians are treated differently when they join the military.

Major indexes endweek with big declinesBy TIM PARADISAP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Wall Streetwrestled with intensifying eco-nomic worries Friday, extend-ing sharp losses after a dis-heartening jobs report and thengrudgingly engaging in somemild bargain hunting that gavethe market some modest gains.The major indexes ended theweek with big declines, a signthat investors, who not longago expected the economy toimprove, are now growingincreasingly discouraged.

Stocks initially fell after theLabor Department reportedthat payrolls shrank more thanpredicted last month and thatthe unemployment ratereached a five-year high. Butstocks that had been poundedlower, including a huge dropon Thursday, were suddenlymore attractive to investorswilling to make some bets.

The government said pay-rolls shrank by 84,000 lastmonth, more than the 75,000economists predicted, andhigher than the 51,000 jobslost in July. The unemploy-ment rate rose to a five-yearhigh of 6.1 percent from 5.7percent.

The report confirmed WallStreet’s fears that the economycontinues to weaken. Thenation has lost nearly 550,000jobs so far this year, erodinginvestors’ hopes for a late-yearrecovery.

“This was an ugly numberthat pretty much confirms thatour economy continues totrend downward,” said JackAblin, chief investment officer

of Harris Private Bank. “I hadthought things were stabiliz-ing, and this just knocks thelegs out of any hope of seeingmuch economic improvementright now.”

But investors, with littleconviction but willing to makea few bets, picked up some ofthe stocks hit in a sell-offThursday, particularly banksand insurers. That lifted themarket off its lows, but it washardly a solid advance.

The Dow Jones industrialaverage rose 32.73, or 0.29percent, to 11,220.96; the bluechips had been down 150points at their lows of the ses-sion.

Broader stock ended mixed.The Standard & Poor’s 500index rose 5.48, or 0.44 per-cent, to 1,242.31, and theNasdaq composite index fell3.16, or 0.14 percent, to2,255.88.

Friday’s moves follow adismal performance onThursday in which all threemajor indexes moved backinto bear market territory,defined as a 20 percent dropfrom a recent peak. The Dowplunged more than 340 pointsin a selloff underpinned by dis-appointing economic news andlackluster sales reports fromretailers; the news drove hometo investors that the economywas more troubled than manyhad thought.

For the week, the Dow lost2.8 percent, its fourth straightweek of losses and the biggestdrop since late June. The S&P500 gave up 3.2 percent andthe technology-heavy Nasdaq,home to many stocks seen asriskier than the blue chips, fell4.7 percent.

RELIGION BRIEFS

By VANESSA COLONThe Fresno Bee

Over the last two decades,the Valley’s Indian immigrantshave built at least a dozen Sikhtemples to serve a growingcommunity.

But many temples are oftenshort of one thing: youngadults, some of whom say theyfeel like outsiders.

They don’t like the templepolitics and don’t have com-mand of Punjabi, the primarylanguage of the service.

They want more youthactivities and projects to keepthem interested.

“There’s a generationaldivide,” said 27-year-oldNaindeep Singh, regionalleader of the Jakara Movement,a nonprofit Sikh youth organi-zation.

Singh, who is from Madera,said most of the parents areimmigrants who observe thereligion as they did in India,reciting memorized verses.Many of the youths want amore Americanized servicethat allows for discussion andexplanation.

“It’s evolving, but it hasn’tevolved at a point where it’sengaging the youth,” Singhsaid.

Last month, the generationaldivide was the focus of theJakara Movement’s annualSikh Youth Conference held atCalifornia State University,Fresno. Participants agreed toask their temples to make moreaccommodations for youngadults.

Some Sikh elders sayyounger Sikhs should masterPunjabi because it’s central tothe culture and faith.

Still, those elders agree thatchanges are needed.

Ranjit Singh Rajpal, generalsecretary of the Sikh Council ofCentral California who emi-

grated from India to the UnitedStates in 1974, said most tem-ples offer English translationsof hymns and of the holy book,the Guru Granth Sahib, toaddress concerns of youngeradults. Most temples also offerPunjabi language classes.

But Rajpal said youths whoare in charge of providingEnglish translations at sometemples don’t always stick withit. On some Sundays, there’s noprojector for the translationsbecause the operator didn’tshow up, he said.

Rajpal, who is 58, alsoblamed parents for not pushingtheir children to learn Punjabiand go to the temple.

“The parents are not worriedabout that or are busy withother things -- working and try-ing to settle down,” he said.“That’s what’s causing the feel-ing among the youth.”

Parminder Singh, 38, ofKingsburg, agrees that parents

must do more to teach theirchildren Punjabi and the Sikhfaith.

“Anytime you translate, youlose some meaning. We have tobe bilingual,” said Singh,whose wife is teaching Punjabito their two children, ages 10and 7.

Penny Mirigian-Emerzian,secretary of the Fresno chapterof the Armenian AmericanCitizens League, saidArmenian immigrants wentthrough the same thing whentheir U.S.-born children wereexposed to American culture.

“In the Armenian situation,the second generation of youngArmenians did not know howto read and write in Armenianand resisted learning it,” shesaid.

Mirigian-Emerzian, 86, saidher parents forced her to go toan Armenian school, and sheattended Valley Armenianchurches, where the services

were in Armenian.“My parents retained the

custom and spoke the languagewell, but I was born and raisedhere. As a young kid, I didn’twant to learn Armenian, but asI grew up, I realized it was anadvantage to learn another lan-guage,” she said. “I wanted tobe American. I thought whyshould I speak somethingelse?”

Conflicts between immi-grants and their children overreligious traditions are notuncommon, said Rudy Busto, aprofessor of religious studies atthe University of California atSanta Barbara.

“This is very typical of whathappens in the second genera-tion. The usual model ... is theimmigrant church or religiousinstitution is tied to the oldcountry,” Busto said. Theyounger generation is tornbetween their parents’ tradi-tions and their ownAmericanized values.

The younger generation“will adapt the tradition inways that allow them to be bothSikhs and Americans,” Bustosaid.

The Valley is home to about40,000 Sikhs. The principles ofSikhism, a religion foundedmore than 500 years ago inPunjab, India, and what is nowPakistan, includes belief in oneGod, truthful living and theequality of mankind.

At a typical temple, called aGurdwara in Punjabi, men andwomen sit barefoot on the flooron opposite sides during theSunday service. Hymns aresung in Punjabi followed byprayer.

Harjinder Dhillon, presidentof the executive committee ofSingh Sabha Gurdwara inFresno, acknowledged thatsome temples are resistant tochange.

California focus

Missing a cousinTo the Editor:My name is Jerry Kamph. I have

worked as a Correctional Officer foranother state for many years.

In the latter 1990s, I received the sadand unfortunate news that my first cousin,John William Bruchler had lost his life.John’s life was greatly shortened byanother person. I still feel my life qualityhas been somewhat cheated due to John’sabsence.

John and I spent many hours laughingour problems away; this laughter replacedand covered over the sadness of our child-hoods. Although I have a wonderful andinteresting life and career, I still cannothelp but think back in time and can seeJohn laying on my living floor laughingso hard that he could not get up.

When I am on duty at the StateCorrectional Institution where I work, Ifind myself walking among the inmatesthat have taken another person’s life. Icannot help but wonder how many sadpeople there are that share my feelingover a lost and much loved relative.

Already hard for MuslimsTo the Editor: I was disappointed to see last Saturday,

Aug. 23, the Ukiah Daily Journal chose torun a story about religious tensionbetween Muslims and Christians inIndonesia, as if life isn't difficult enoughfor Muslims living in rural areas acrossthe United States. I challenge the UkiahDaily Journal to restore its journalisticintegrity and run a human interest storyabout the enormous obstacles that MuslimAmericans face in 2008 from liberals andconservatives alike, especially in theworkplace. With September 11 approach-ing, this is the perfect time to promotepeace, tolerance, and understanding, nothate.

Bicycler objectsTo the Editor:I am a 65-year-old clown-garbed silly

who rides my bicycle everyday and enjoysit. Obviously Mr. Kramer must be enviousbecause he is not physically fit as thecyclists he criticizes, and therefore couldnot even wear the body-hugging cyclinggarb that is best suited for riding bikes. Iwould not want to be on a bicycle in frontof a car while Mr. Kramer is driving. Hewould most likely run me down.However, if he met me face to face, I’dpunch his lights out before he could evenraise his fist.

Sorry Mr. Kramer, there is no place inthis world for people with your attitude.Get a life and start riding a bike.

Thank youTo the Editor:We would like everyone to know about

our experience with the very capable andcaring Mendocino County HumaneSociety.

We had to put our beloved pet downbecause of health issues. I phoned aroundto all the vet offices and found out that itwould cost us $100 to $200 to put our dogto sleep. At the Humane Society it wasonly $40. They were so kind and under-standing and let us be right with herthrough the entire process.

She was with us until the end. Theyallowed us to go into the exam room withher and be right with her. They gave her atranquilizer to ease the shock for her andthe vet lady told us about herself andanswered any questions we had. We allcried together.

I just want the public to know that youhave a wonderful Humane Society here inour county. There were many peopleworking there that Monday and many vol-unteers. We can be very proud of our localHumane Society.

Delay water bond

Sweet land of libertyNAT HENTOFF

Will Biden be morethan a hit man?

Nat Hentoff is a nationally renownedauthority on the First Amendment and theBill of Rights.

When Joe Biden was campaigning to be theDemocratic presidential candidate, he was theonly one in either party who forcefully andconsistently wielded the Constitution like asword: opposing Bush's warrantless wiretap-ping as an "unconstitutional expansion ofpresidential powers" (though Barack Obamavoted for the FISA amendments, agreeingwith Bush). And Biden also introduced theNational Security with Justice Act of 2007that would have ended some of Bush's moreegregious lawlessness.

Biden emphasized that these abuses (to usea euphemism) of prisoners were a boon tojihadist recruiters, adding that "by redefiningtorture" we "have squandered the support ofthe world and the opportunity to lead it." Athome, Biden added, Bush's disregard for theseparation of powers "has undermined thebasic civil liberties of American citizens."

He said plainly, "The terrorists win whenwe abandon our civil liberties." While therehas been much talk about rising gasolineprices and how many homes John McCainowns, in the current presidential campaign,our own diminishing civil liberties andrespect around the world are of less than pass-ing interest.

Obviously, every survey of the primaryconcern of the voters leads with the economy.And the Democratic congressional leaders --Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi -- have shownno pressing interest, or any interest, in restor-ing the Constitution or the respect of ourallies' intelligence agencies, which are beingundermined at home by their governments'charges that they have committed crimesthrough complicity in CIA kidnappings andother actions on "the dark side."

Nor have Obama or McCain shown anyconcern with such abuses of we Americans asBiden emphasized in an April 3, 2007, speechat Drake University Law School: "The presi-dent has also abused the authority Congressgave him under the PATRIOT Act to issueNational Security Letters. FBI officials issuethese letters without judicial review todemand sensitive financial, credit, phone andInternet records." No warrants needed to pryinto our private lives? Does anyone care?

Now that he is the Democratic vice-presi-dential candidate, is Biden going to continueto voice these concerns, which are vital to ourconstitutional well being? McCain used toemphasize that, in fighting the terrorists, it'sessential to remember, by contrast with them,"who we are." But McCain, in refusing to voteto end the CIA's "special powers" and secretprisons under a Bush executive order, andthen strongly supporting the extra-constitu-tional military commissions at GuantanamoBay, has forgotten the crucial importance of"who we are," to ourselves and the world.

Biden, in the first speech he made afterbeing chosen by Obama, who was standingbeside him, sounded like a barking attack dog,hardly like the former presidential candidateintent on safeguarding our Constitution andour individual liberties as we battle our ene-mies' murderous values.

As of this writing, it appears that Obamaand his strategist chose Biden principally tobe the campaign's hit man against McCain.Obama's own convictions have turned out tobe -- let us say -- flexible. Is Biden going todiminish who he is now that he is back in thenational spotlight by just being a hit man?

Here is the previous essence of Biden oninternational human rights. Hardly mentionedby anyone on either side of this campaign wasa recent revelation in an Aug. 28 report by theindependent Sudan Tribune Web site. Whilethere has been much hand-wringing over theever-worsening atrocities in Sudan, onlyBiden struck real fear in Sudan's monstrousPresident Gen. Omar al-Bashir.

In a Senate Foreign Relations Committeehearing in April 2007, Biden said of al-Bashir's genocide: "This is incredible what ishappening, and I promise you, we are allgoing to sit here five to 10 years from nowand ask ourselves why we didn't do the thingswe can do. ... It's time to put force on the tableand use it."

However, the man Biden is supporting forpresident says (New York Times, Aug. 25)that Darfur reminds him "how sinful we canbe." Imagine how reassuring that bold Obamastatement sounds in Darfur, where somehumanitarian organizations are withdrawingbecause it's become so dangerous to feed therefugees in their camps assaulted by Bashir'sforces.

At the Democratic convention on Aug. 27in his passionate acceptance speech, Bidendid not address any of his intentions duringthe primaries to repair the Constitution andbring the CIA under the rule of law. I can onlyhope that the other Biden, who for years,while in the Senate, has taught constitutionallaw at a Delaware college, will yet emergebefore November.

California voters are often under the impressionthat once they OK a bond issue, that's it. Constructionon whatever the bond is to build will start forthwith.

Well, it's not necessarily so. In fact, it's not usuallyso. There are times, plenty of them, when the moneysits around for years - sometimes a decade or more -before anyone decides how to spend it. Meanwhile, ofcourse, the cost of anything to be built goes up asinterest payments on the bond money go out.

Which brings us to the $9.3 billion water bond nowbeing pushed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, U.S.Sen. Dianne Feinstein and the state's ever-thirsty (formoney) water establishment.

Let's say this up front: California unquestionablyneeds better water management. It's a mistake to letmillions of acre feet of winter flood waters run out tosea, where all that liquid accomplishes little or noth-ing. There is no excuse for the paucity of water recy-cling projects around the state and every reason to setup more "gray water" programs using treated sewageon shrubs and lawns. There is no excuse for not actingon the canny proposal from Democratic state Sen.Dean Florez of Shafter to spend a paltry $5 million ona smelt hatchery that would grow enough delta smeltto mollify any federal judge who considers whether tocontinue reducing water flow from the delta of theSacramento and San Joaquin rivers.

All these tactics and more are needed in the face ofcontinued drought, consistently lower Sierra Nevadasnowpacks, population influxes, global warming andcourt decisions that put fish before people and food-growing farms.

But that doesn't automatically mean the time isright for a new bond issue. Just look what's happenedto the last few state water bonds. In 2006, for instance,voters handily passed Proposition 84, providing $5.4billion for water projects and watershed protection. Asof mid-July, only $2.8 billion of that money had beenspent. Put the remaining $2.6 billion together withsome remnants of earlier water bonds like the 2000Proposition 13 and the 2002 Proposition 50 and closeto $3 billion exists right now to take care of Californiawater needs.

But politicians can't agree on how to spend thatmoney. If they can't allocate cash on hand, why givethem more?

The Florez fishery idea, for instance, would takeonly a tiny fraction of the available money but couldsolve a problem that forced water users to let 1 millionmore acre feet of water than usual run through thedelta this year to further the habitat of the endangeredsmelt. There is, of course, no evidence this seriousreduction in water for farms and cities caused anincrease in the smelt population. So why not try anartificial boost to the numbers of the silvery minnow-like fish?

For sure, that would be the cheapest way everdevised to produce 1 million acre feet of potable wateryearly.

The shape of the proposed new bond, alreadyhailed by the Association of California WaterAgencies, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and a coali-tion of labor unions and big businesses, is not yetdetermined. For sure, it won't get major Republicansupport unless it includes massive new reservoirs andit won't get Democratic support without plenty of con-servation and recycling measures.

No quarrel with either side there. California needsboth more storage and better conservation and recy-cling. But who's to say that any new bond would havemore specific spending plans and timetables than theold ones? And if it doesn't, haggling over the newmoney will go on at least as long as it has over theexisting, idle funds.

Meanwhile, California taxpayers would be payinginterest on that money, day after day, year after year.Which would increase the "structural deficit"Schwarzenegger loves to complain about at budgettime - even as he contributes to it by accumulatingmore bond interest obligations than any previous gov-ernor.

Yes, tentative versions of the new water bondinclude $3 billion for reservoirs and other new waterstorage. There would also be $2 billion for regionalprojects to increase water-use efficiency (read: recy-cling used water). And there would be $1.9 billion for"managing" the delta, which probably means buildingsomething like the ever-controversial Peripheral Canalto carry Sacramento River water south while stillreleasing decent amounts of water into the delta.

Of course, the existing money that's now sittingaround could be used to start on any of these worthyplans. If lawmakers can't agree on that, why give themscads of new money to fight about?

It adds up to a situation of great need that's beenbadly mismanaged. Which makes the new bond a badidea until someone proves state government is capableof using the water money it already has.

IN OUR COMMUNITY

By JONATHAN OKANESSan Mateo County Times

BERKELEY -- If Cal's goalthis season is simply to win asmany games as possible andqualify for the best bowl gameavailable -- a perfectly accept-able approach -- then therereally isn't much significanceto starting Pac-10 play thisearly.

But if the Bears are morefocused on winning the con-ference championship andplaying in the Rose Bowl,then Saturday's matinee atWashington State deservesfurther analysis.

This will be the earliest theBears have commenced Pac-10 play since 1993, when theyknocked off UCLA in the sea-son opener. Cal would preferto know a little more aboutitself before starting confer-ence competition, but it willhave to proceed with theknowledge it currently has forthe matchup at MartinStadium in Pullman, Wash.

"This really matters," CalAll-America center AlexMack said. "This is for theRose Bowl, the Pac-10 cham-pionship. It's conference play.At least it's not the first game.It's important and big, but itwill also keep us focused."

There are a handful of con-ference games being playedearly this season. Stanfordedged Oregon State andOregon routed Washington in

openers last weekend. Alongwith the Cal-Washington Stategame, Stanford plays ArizonaState on Saturday.

Ideally, teams play all oftheir nonconference gamesbefore beginning Pac-10 play.But television opportunitiesand scheduling conflictssometime force teams to moveconference games up earlier inthe season.

Cal coach Jeff Tedford isn'ta big fan of playing a confer-ence game so early, especiallyon the road.

He said because of the 64-player roster limit for Pac-10road games, the coaching staffhas had to speed up personnelevaluation in certain areas thisfall.

"You like to play your non-conference games first andthen get to conference play,"Tedford said. "You like to beable to figure out who's exact-ly going to play for you inspecial teams and get somegame experience for guysbefore you have to get intoconference play. That's a chal-lenge this week to cut down to64 for the road. You're stillevaluating some situations onspecial teams and so on and soforth."

This will only be a taste ofPac-10 play for the Bears,who beat Michigan State 38-31 in its season opener lastweekend.

Cal follows Saturday with

two more nonconferencegames before resuming itsPac-10 schedule Oct. 4against Arizona State.

Not only are the Bearsstarting Pac-10 competitionearlier than they would like,they are doing so against anew coaching staff that hasimplemented the no-huddle,spread offense. Tedford saidthe team has watched film ofEastern Washington, newCougars coach Paul Wulff'sprevious stop, but doesn'thave a lot to go on for the con-ference opener.

"You just don't know whatto expect," Tedford said."We've obviously seen tape ofEastern Washington from last

year to try to get a gauge onwho they are. But their per-sonnel is a little bit different atWashington State. There are alot of unknowns playing aconference game so early,especially against somebodyyou don't have a lot of historywith. That makes it more diffi-cult to play a conference gamethat early when it's a newcoach."

Notes: Tedford said theMRI on punter Bryan Anger'ssprained knee came back neg-ative. Anger is expected to beready by Saturday. ...Washington State dropped itsseason opener to OklahomaState 39-13 last weekend inSeattle.

Cal Coach Jeff Tedford during a practice session at the beginning of the season.

By Doug KrikorianPress-Telegram, Long Beach

Mark Sanchez was watching ontelevision, wincing at every intercep-tion, feeling empathy for a fellowquarterback, even though the fellowquarterback, Kevin Craft, plays forUCLA.

"Of course I felt for him," saysSanchez. "I know Kevin. He's a goodguy. And I put myself in his shoes, andyou know how tough it had to be forhim. But he really showed something.He came back in that second half, andI was happy for him."

Not only was Mark Sanchez happyfor Kevin Craft extricating himselffrom the depths of a four-interceptionfirst half, but the Pac-10's OffensivePlayer of the Week -- he was 26 of 35for 338 yards and three touchdowns inUSC's 52-7 win over Virginia -- alsowas happy that the Bruins emergedwith their 27-24 overtime victory overTennessee.

"Sure, I was rooting for the Bruinsto win," revealed Sanchez, in whatsome Trojan fanatics might deem aspure heresy.

"Why not? They're in the Pac-10like us, and they were playing againstan SEC team. You have to root forPac-10 team in such a situation."

I came across Mark Sanchez theother evening at Phil Trani'sRestaurant in Long Beach, where hespent a portion of his summer appren-ticing as a cook under Trani's guid-ance.

It doesn't take long being aroundSanchez to understand the reason hewas the only junior on the Trojans tobe voted a co-captain -- the others areseniors Kevin Ellison, Brian Cushingand Jeff Byers -- by his teammates.

He has an outgoing, charismaticpersonality without the faintest hint ofpretension and he evinces a leadershipaura that is an imperative quality forsomeone manning his vital position ona football team.

The word around USC is that play-ers savor playing for Sanchez, mean-ing they'll block harder for him andthat he has an inspirational presenceabout him that will be needed in thecertain daunting challenges that willface the Trojans in upcoming weekslike the one on Sept. 13 against Ohio

State.A handsome fellow with chiseled

features and curly black hair, MarkSanchez admits he's still excited aboutfinally becoming the starting quarter-back at USC after a four-year wait inwhich he red-shirted one season, cad-died for Matt Leinart another, and didthe same the past two years for JohnDavid Booty.

"Definitely, it was tough to gothrough," says Sanchez of his lengthyinactivity. "Four years is a long time tobasically sit on the sidelines. Now itdoesn't seem that long. But when Iwent through it, it seemed forever.

"Did I ever think of transferring?Never. Where was I going to go? Iknew eventually I'd get my chance.And now, finally, I've been given it.And it's great. I was a little upset at theend of the Virginia game. I wanted tokeep playing. I love playing football. Ilove the competition. I can't getenough of it."

Of course, Mark Sanchez will getplenty of it this fall, and knows futureproceedings won't unfold as seamless-ly as they did against Virginia.

"Like the coaches keep emphasiz-

ing to us at practice, every game wehave is a championship game," saysSanchez. "You know our opponentsare going to be ready for us, and playtheir top emotional game. We just haveto prepare properly and be read to playall out in every game."

At 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds -- hesays he arrived in training camp at 233-- Sanchez cuts quite a physical speci-men, and says he gets his height fromhis mother.

Olga Macias is 6-2, and played vol-leyball at Roosevelt High in LosAngeles.

"My mom grew up in East L.A.,and we still have relatives there," hesays. "She was a pretty good athlete."

So was his father, Nick Sanchez,who was a starting quarterback atManual Arts High.

"I was fortunate to inherit the ath-letic genes of my parents," saysSanchez, who prepped at MissionViejo High.

Mark Sanchez finds himself the bigman on campus these days, and isbesieged everywhere he goes by ador-ing students and fans.

"I was watching a special that was

done on Tom Brady on how he handlesall the peripheral stuff that goes withhis job, and I already can relate tosome of it," says Sanchez. "Of course,you always have to be nice to people,but you also have to keep your focusand stay away from situations that canlead to trouble. You just have to bevery careful."

While Mark Sanchez might havebeen cheering for Kevin Craft and theBruins on Monday, his feelings will beslightly difference on Dec. 6 when theTrojans face UCLA at the Rose Bowl.

"I'll do everything possible to helpus win that game, as well as everyother one we play before it," saysSanchez, who revealed the left knee heinjured during training camp no longerbothers him.

"I wish we didn't have a bye thisweek. I can't wait to play again. I loveevery moment I'm out there on thefield. I just can't wait for the OhioState game when there will be morethan 93,000 at the Coliseum and anational television audience watchingus. I've been waiting four years to playin that kind of game, and now, finally,it's my time. ..."

Mark Sanchez is a skilled guitarplayer whose favorite musical group isthe Dave Matthews Band. ...

No doubt Rick Neuheisel's ener-getic sideline presence is a dramaticimprovement over that of the drollKarl Dorrell. The feisty Bruins mir-rored Neuheisel's personality in theirmajor upset of the Vols. ...

I'm a painfully impatient guy whowould have yanked Kevin Craft afterhis first half abomination againstTennessee. ...

Neuheisel, offensive coordinatorNorm Chow, defensive coordinatorDewayne Walker and the other UCLAcoaches understandably received ravereviews in the wake of their team'simplausible conquest.

But lost in all the euphoria were twoatrocious UCLA managerial miscalcu-lations -- the decision to have thestruggling Craft throw a pass near theend of the first half that was intercept-ed and returned for a touchdown byTennessee and the decision to squibkick the kickoff with 27 secondsremaining in regulation that resulted,inevitably, in giving the Vols goodfield position and the opportunity tosend the game into overtime with afield goal.

Too often in such situations, thesquib kick is the strategic equivalent ofthe prevent defense in that it preventsyou from winning the game.

Sanchez finally gets his shot with Trojans

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

Dear Annie: I used to be very close to myin-laws and often told people if I could haveplaced a “special order” for in-laws, theywould have fit the bill.

My father-in-law died 10 years ago. For along time, we played golf together everyweek. When he was in the hospital, my father-in-law told me he had discussed with his wifewho should get his new golf clubs and theydecided to give them to me. The golf clubswere less than a year old, and I was sotouched by this gesture. Every time I usedthem, I thought of him.

My husband and I divorced four years ago.Last summer, my wonderful clubs magicallydisappeared out of my house. I found out laterthat my ex-husband had coerced one of ourchildren into giving the clubs to him. My exrefused to return them, so I sent an e-mailthreatening to dispose of some of his belong-ings that were still in my house if he didn’tbring back the golf clubs.

My ex showed the e-mail to his 84-year-old

mother. She called me and yelled, saying theclubs no longer belonged to me, that myfather-in-law would never have wanted me tokeep them under the circumstances, and thatour relationship was at an end. I’m going tolet my ex have the golf clubs, but what shouldI do about my ex-mother-in-law? I miss her. -- Kicked Out of the Golf Club

Dear Club: This isn’t about the golf clubs.It’s about the divorce. Your ex-mother-in-lawhas naturally taken her son’s side, and he israther vindictive. You may not be able toregain the relationship you once had, but youcan make this better.

Call or write your ex-mother-in-law, andtell her you are so sorry there’s been a rift and

you miss her. Don’t mention the golf clubs.Ask what you can do to repair the breach forthe sake of the grandchildren.

Dear Annie: I like my friend “Lexie” a lotexcept for one quirk.

Any time she wants to tell me something,she has her mom drive her to my house inorder to say what she could easily have saidover the phone. She does this with all herfriends, but for me, she comes at the worsttimes and doesn’t seem to care.

I’ve tried telling her to call instead, but shewon’t. How can I ask her politely to comeback later without ending our friendship? --Annoyed in Elkhart, Ind.

Dear Elkhart: Maybe her mom doesn’t lether use the phone or, more likely, Lexie justwants company. You can simply tell her,“Lexie, when you drop by without calling, it’sreally inconvenient. I’d much rather know inadvance so I can set aside time for you.” Ifthat doesn’t work, be unavailable as nicely aspossible. When she comes to the door, stopher right there and say, “I wish I could visitnow, but I have to finish my homework” or“eat dinner” or “run an errand” -- whateverexcuse means she can’t stay. Then say you’rereally sorry, you’ll see her in school, andclose the door.

Dear Annie: I’d like to add to your answerto “Elizabeth,” who asked if it’s OK to let a 4-year-old boy go into a men’s restroom alonebecause he likes to use the urinal.

A friend of mine had a solution. Her sonwas allowed to go into the men’s restroom,but only if it was empty. If he saw anyone elseinside, he’d come right out and his motherwould take him to the ladies’ room instead. --Marguerite in Gettysburg, Pa.

Dear Marguerite: That works only if noone wishes to enter the men’s room while herson is inside. Otherwise, it can get rathertricky.

THE LEARNING

CHALLENGER by Robert Barnett

DIRECTIONS:

A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells.

B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue.

C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.

Girls Club.One team participating in the

chili cook off was Vital SystemsNatural Building and Design, acompany that makes straw-balehomes. Mike Miller and teamVital Systems cooked a chilimade with bison meat for thecontest.

Organic beans and specialingredients flavored the bisonchili, Miller said. He describedthe flavor of Vital System’schili as just enough but notenough to make chili tasterssweat.

At a park bench on the edgeof the chili feeding frenzy,Marco Moon sat eating a sam-ple of Vital Systems’ bisonchili. Moon complimented thebison chili for not being atongue burner.

It is a neat thing they aredoing here, Moon said, becauseit brings people together.

A panel of judges, includinglocal dignitaries and politicians,was on hand to pick the win-ning chilis. A people’s choicebooth was also taking ballotsfor the people’s favorite chili.

Last year, the GraniteConstruction team was awardedthird place for its chili.Members of the Granite chiliteam, Benay, Cindy, Wanda andJulie, predicted that this yearthey were going to win the cookoff.

Greg Mangan was one ofmany milling about in the chili-crazed crowd. He said he hadsampled about six of the manychilis so far. He had a long wayto go before picking a winner,Mangan said.

In the closed-off street,Ukiah Rotary operated arefreshment booth selling wine,soda, water and snow cones to

wet the parched mouths of chilitasters.

Attending the chili cook offfor the first time was JonFerguson, who worked UkiahRotary’s snow cone machine.Later in the evening Fergusonsaid he planned to take a breakand taste some of the chili.

He described the qualities hebelieves make a good chiligood.

Ferguson said he likes a littlekick in his chili - chili that canget down and burn in yourstomach, he said.

Some teams brought hotchili and some teams broughtmild chili for the event. TeamAAA served a chili that wasmild in comparison to some.

Ted Shaw of Team AAAbegan soaking the beans forAAA’s mild chili three daysago, he said. AAA’s chili is acombination of two men’s chilirecipes.

It is a combo of AAA’s NielsLarsen and his recipes, Shawsaid.

“It’s not hot,” Shaw said to ayoung girl approaching thebooth.

Anne Beauchamp of TeamAAA liked the chances Larsenand Shaw’s chili had of win-ning. AAA awesome chili,Beauchamp said, “puts thefourth ‘A’ in AAA.”

On the other end of the hot-ness scale was Coyote ValleyShodakai Casino’s pepper lacedchili. Willie Laster Jr. is the manteam Shodakai credits for thehot stuff. Dave Padgett helpedLaster with the chili sometasters said was too hot.

Among Shodakai’s ingredi-ents are habañero peppers andDave’s Insanity Sauce, Padgettsaid.

In the making of their chili,many hot peppers and flavor-ings were added to the mix.

“We improvised as we wentalong,” Padgett said.

Thompson said there wereother reasons this election wasof great importance to futuregenerations of Americans.

“There are a couple of jus-tices getting up there in age,”he said. “The next president isgoing to choose two of them.McCain wants to see a litmus

test to do with family plan-ning.”

On the economy,Thompson said he saw abright future with the adventof alternative energy sources.

“I’m the eternal optimist,”he said. “I think we’re strongand I see a shift to renewableenergy with green-collar jobsbeing created. I think we needto deal with this runawaydebt. The first thing you dowhen you realize you’re in ahole is to stop digging. Thisadministration has literallydriven us to the poor house.It’s weakened our dollar. Wehave to make sure we pay ourbills. I think once we do thatwe’re going to see thingsstraightened. We have tocome to grips with ourselves.”
