TEENS TRAIN DOGS
By ROB BURGESS
The Daily Journal
The dogs are all at the
Ukiah animal shelter
where they will be
more adoptable
after training.
With the California state
budget nearly three weeks
overdue, those relying on
Sacramento financially may
soon start feeling the effects.
“Right now there is no
state budget,” said Cathy
Frey, executive director of the
Alliance for Rural Health.
“Any program that relies on
the state is not being paid. In
the past it has gone as long as
September before we had a
budget. If you’re working for
the state, after a while they
won’t get paid. Those people
go
without
paychecks.
Everything kind of comes to a
standstill. It’s the time of year
you get a line of credit from a
bank. Anything where there is
a state dollar attached is
affected.”
California lawmakers have
missed the deadline to
approve a state budget for the
fiscal year that started July 1.
Republicans
and
Democrats in both houses of
the state Legislature remain
far apart on how to close the
state’s $15.2 billion budget
shortfall.
Republicans,
including
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger,
favor wide-ranging cuts to

A little training key to a good home
By SARA HOUSE
For the Daily Journal
For the second year in a row, a local program is teaching teens the behaviors and training of dogs at the Ukiah animal shelter. The
program accepts about 12 volunteer high
school teens whose goal is to train these dogs
to become more adoptable.
Program instructor Kelly Boesel works with
the teens on not only how to train a dog, but
how to understand the behaviors and body language of dogs.
“The kids have been very good at creating a
better life for the dogs,” Boesel said.
The dogs that the teens are working with are
taken from a list approved by Mendocino
County Animal Care and Control. These dogs
have all passed a temperament test, are spayed
or neutered and have been treated and vaccinated for disease. They are all available for
adoption now; however they will be better
behaved and trained at the end of the five-week
program.
Each day the students are assigned a partner
and a dog to work with. The partners and dogs
are rotated throughout the week in order to
train the dogs to become acclimated to more
than one trainer and to also allow the teens to
work with new people, just like being in a real
job. They do daily exercises of leash training
and maintaining the dog’s attention despite
other surroundings. One method used with
every exercise is the “clicker” technique, also
used with training dolphins. The students have
a little plastic device that clicks when a button
is pressed. The sound of the click corresponds
with a dog treat for the dog. This trains the
dogs to relate the clicking and treats with good
behavior. The dogs have been quick learners
and are catching on fairly quickly to the training methods. So far the teens and dogs have
made a lot of progress working together
despite some of the challenges that come with
training a dog.
“One hard part of training is to get their (the
dog’s) attention on what you want it to do,”
said one teen trainer.
Another exercise done with the dogs is a
leash relay race where the students and dogs
are trained with leash walking and during the
race, the dog and student with the most leash
control makes it to the finish line faster and
wins. If the dog tugs on the leash or runs
ahead, the student must stop or take the dog
back to the starting point and start again. The
clickers and treats are used throughout the
entire race to reinforce good leash behavior.
The group is also taught how to read the
body language and behavior patterns of dogs,
for human safety and for the benefit of the dog

Bush agrees to
deeper U.S.
troop cuts in Iraq
WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Bush and Iraq’s
prime minister have agreed to
set a “general time horizon”
for bringing more U.S. troops
home from the war, a dramatic shift from the administration’s once-ironclad unwillingness to talk about any kind
of deadline or timetable.
The announcement Friday
put Bush in the position of
offering to talk with Iraqi
leaders about a politically
charged issue that he
adamantly has refused to discuss with the Democratic-led
Congress at home. It also
could complicate the presidential campaign arguments
of Republican John McCain
and Democrat Barack Obama
who have staked out starkly
opposite stands about the
unpopular war.
What’s changed? The sharp
reduction in violence in Iraq
— to the lowest level in four

years — has made the country’s leaders increasingly confident and more assertive
about its sovereignty, giving
rise to demands for a specific
plan for American forces to
leave.
Iraq has leverage because
the White House is struggling
to salvage negotiations for a
long-term agreement covering
U.S. military operations there.
The White House said its goal
is to conclude that deal by the
end of this month.
Bush and Iraqi Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki
talked about the stalled negotiations during a secure video
conference on Thursday,
agreeing “on a common way
forward to conclude these
negotiations as soon as possible,” a White House statement
said.
contract workers and injuring
six others, a company vice
president said.
The crane, capable of lifting 800,000 pounds, fell over
at a LyondellBasell refinery in
southeast Houston about 2
p.m.
The casualties were in the
area of the crane, but officials
still aren’t certain whether
they were on the crane or
under it, said John Roecker,
the company’s vice president
for refining.
Three of the injured were
treated and released at the
scene, said Houston Fire
Department Assistant Chief
Omero Longoria. Two severely injured workers were taken
by helicopter to Memorial
Hermann-Texas
Medical
Center hospital and the other
injured worker was taken to a
hospital by ambulance.
The crane, whose exact
dimensions were not immediately available, belonged to
Deep South Crane & Rigging.
Iraq crackdown
focuses on weapons
smuggling
CAMP VICTORY, Iraq
(AP) — With al-Qaida falling
away, U.S. forces in Iraq are
turning their attention to
another front: the Iranian border. They aim to crack down
on weapon smuggling from
Iran by tightening the frontier
with Iraq’s neighbor to the
east, a U.S. commander told
The Associated Press on
Friday.
The effort is aimed at
smugglers who supply Shiite
extremist groups with rockets,
missiles, mortars and assembled explosive devices that
have killed many U.S. troops.
“We’re going to start
squeezing this network pretty
hard,” said Maj. Gen. Michael
Oates, who leads a contingent
of 19,000 U.S. troops in
regions south of the capital as
commander of the Army’s
10th Mountain Division.
U.S. troops will establish
small outposts in the vicinity
of two or three official border
crossings and seek to build
relations with local tribes
whose cooperation is critical,
the general said. One such
outpost already is set up.
For much of the war, U.S.
and Iraqi forces were focused
mainly on al-Qaida and other
insurgent forces that threatened to plunge the country
into all-out civil war. Shiite
extremist groups inside Iraq
took advantage of that narrow
focus to develop a network of
weapons supply routes from
Iran, he said.
“Now that al-Qaida is hurt
very badly, we’re able to shift
our emphasis and take a look
at this other threat...”

Pope: All faiths must unite against those
who use religion to justify violence
By ROHAN SULLIVAN
The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia -Pope Benedict XVI told
representatives of Islam and
other faiths that they must
unite to combat religion’s
role in “sinister and indiscriminate” violence.
Without mentioning terrorism directly, the pontiff
said there were those in
who were using religion “as
a cause of division rather
than a force for unity” in a
40-minute exchange with
Australian Jewish, Muslim,
Hindu and Buddhist leaders
in Sydney.
“In a world threatened by
sinister and indiscriminate
forms of violence, the unified voice of religious people urges nations and communities to resolve conflicts
through peaceful means and
with full regard for human
dignity,” Benedict told the
leaders, gathered in the
gothic surrounds of
Australia’s largest Roman
Catholic cathedral as part of
the church’s global youth
festival.
Harmony between religion and public life is especially important in these
days, he said.
The remarks come as the
Vatican tries to cool lingering anger among Muslims
over a speech Benedict gave
in 2006 that appeared to
associate Islam with violence. Benedict quickly
apologized for the link.
In reply, the delegates
from the other creeds welcomed the pope’s inclusionary stance, though Sheikh
Mohamadu Saleem of the
National Imams Council of
Australia noted discrimination between faiths was still
a problem.
Muslims should be more
understanding of other religions, he said, adding: “At
the same time, a significant
amount of the Christian
groups and other religions
must overcome their prejudice to Muslims and Islam.”
The meeting was one element of a busy Friday
schedule for the 81-year-old
pontiff at World Youth Day,
which organizers say has
attracted more than 200,000
young Catholics to
Australia’s largest city. Two
days into his four-day official program, the pope
looked fit and energetic.
Benedict, who last week
said his church was in “crisis” in the West because of
many had lost faith in God,
held a separate meeting
with deputies of Christian
denominations.
He urged them to cooperate against secularism and
apathy -- saying those
shared problems were
greater than any differences
among them.
“I think you would agree
that the ecumenical movement has reached a critical
juncture,” he told the
Christian representatives.
“We must guard against any
temptation to view doctrine
as divisive and hence an
impediment to the seemingly more pressing and immediate task of improving the
world in which we live.”
The pope blessed the
opening scene of a live
reenactment of the stations
of the cross -- the Bible’s
depiction of Christ’s last
days -- that was played out
through Sydney, with some
of the city’s most recognizable landmarks in the backdrop.
Pilgrims lined the streets
to watch the recreation,
which stretched over three
hours and included often
stark scenes of brutality
toward Jesus, including his
being nailed to a cross. As
night fell on a clear but
cold midwinter day, many
watching clutched each
other and wept openly.
Organizers estimated the
live television audience for
one of the festival’s most
dramatic events topped 500
million.
Benedict met later with a
group of disadvantaged
youth at a Catholic university campus, where he
decried “the cult of material
possessions.”
“Our materialistic society,” he said, too often
sought happiness “by
acquiring as many possessions and luxuries as we
can.”
On Saturday, the pope
will spend part of the day
with bishops and other
Catholic officials, and has
signaled he may make
express regret about past
sexual abuse by Australian
clergy as he did during his
trip to the United States
earlier this year.
Later, he will for a couple of hours join a mass of
pilgrims camping out at a
horse racetrack in Sydney -the only open space so
close to town that could
accommodate the size of the
crowd -- at an overnight
vigil. He will return there
by helicopter Sunday to
hold Mass, the culmination
of the festival.
A small group of protesters, who have criticized the
church’s handling of the
abuse scandal that has
dogged it in recent years,
gathered Friday near St.
Mary’s Cathedral, where the
pontiff is staying. The
waved placards reading
“Hands off our kids” and
“Clergy sexual abuse turns
Christianity upside down.”
The demonstration ended
without incident.

Gazpacho: Summer in a bowl
One of the most pleasurable flavors of summer is the
cool-tangy-sweet taste of gazpacho (also spelled gaspacho). The name of this
Andalusian dish is derived
from the Spanish word
“caspa,” which at one time
meant “crumbs.” This warmweather, tomato-based soup
is like a salad in a blender.
A lthough there are a
number of variations on gazpacho, from the tomatobased, cumin-seasoned version from Granada , to the
garlic almond-based gazpacho blanca of Malaga , there
are three ingredients common
to most gazpacho recipes:
bread, oil, and vinegar.
No matter the version you
prefer, one thing is certain:
nothing says summer like a
bowl of tomato-based gazpacho.

MENDOCINO | WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Stiles headed to Holy Names
“I like that she can do a lot of things -- shoot, handle,
pass -- you name it. She’s a talented player. Her size
and length are great with our style of play... I’m
excited.
”
-- Holy Names Head Coach Steve Spencer
By ANTHONY DION
The Daily Journal
Katie Stiles, the sophomore point
guard and leader of the Mendocino
College women’s basketball team,
signed a letter of intent on Thursday
to continue her collegiate career at
Holy Names University in Oakland
with a full-ride scholarship offer.
Stiles averaged 13 points per
game (which led the team), four
assists per game and 2.5 steals while
leading the Eagles to their best
record in history with a 10-4 conference record and 11-15 overall.
Playing the point guard position
primarily for the first time in her
career, Stiles grew into the position
nicely as the year went on and really
excelled as the leader of the team.
“She was very responsive in what
I wanted from her on and off the
court,” said Mendocino Head Coach
Jody Steliga. We didn’t have a point
guard so she had to learn that role
and it really helped her [game], I
think it helped her tremendously.”
The position switch helped her
further develop her game as she
improved in all areas. The fact that
she can play either guard positions
with her ability to shoot, pass and
handle the ball made her extremely
attractive to Holy Names and Head
Coach Steve Spencer.
“I like that she can do a lot of
things -- shoot, handle, pass -- you
name it,” said Spencer. “She’s a talented player. Her size and length are
great with our style of play... I’m
excited.”
In his fourth season as Head
Coach at Holy Names (ninth with
the program), Spencer led the NAIA
Hawks to a very good season, winning their conference title before
falling to eventual national champion Northwestern in the first round of
the tournament.
Stiles will be a part of another
young squad that will try to help
Holy Names repeat as Conference
champions and improve upon their
first round playoff exit.
“We like to play a fast paced,
aggressive style of game...press, trap
on defense and push the ball on
offense,” said Spencer. “We kind of
have to as we have a lot of guards -a lot of good guards. But we definitely like to play the uptempo game
which is why, I think Katie helps a
lot since she can obviously do that
having played that style here last
year.”
Holy Names has a great shot at
achieving those goals once again.
Spencer and his team will be tested
early with a tough out of conference
schedule but the coach hopes that
will only get them better prepared
for the conference play.
“We’re probably going to take our
lumps, but that’s by design,” said
Spencer. “It’s all about conference
play...I see us being very similar to
last year.
“We should be the favorites again
and that’s how we want it.”
In addition to her game, Stiles
brings a winning attitude to the
Hawks which should not be overlooked. After the great season she
was a part of at Mendocino which
saw the Eagles go 10-4 in their last
14 games, she and her teammates
really adopted a winning mindset.
“With just seven girls, all of us
knew what we had to do in order to
win and get better each game,” said
Stiles. “So us staying together really
helped us. Our chemistry was good
on and off the court, we hung out,
had dinners and got along very well
with each other.
“I really cherished every moment
of it.”
Her coach did as well and feels
that Stiles will only continue to
improve and bring success to her
new team.
“She’s a very coachable player
and she works extremely hard,” said
Steliga.
“I think the fact that she is so
coachable, that she has that great
work ethic and is so talented -- I see
her only bringing more success to
the Holy Names program. She
couldn’t bring anything less.”

PGA TOUR | BRITISH OPEN
YANKEES 7 | A’S 1
Norman, Duval turn back
clock at British Open
Cano, A-Rod help Mussina
earn 12th win for Yanks
By PAUL NEWBERRY
Associated Press
SOUTHPORT, England — Greg
Norman turned back the clock. So
did David Duval. And K.J. Choi
found himself in a familiar position
— leading the final group of the
British Open heading to the weekend.
Three weeks after marrying tennis great Chris Evert, Norman kept
up the honeymoon at Royal
Birkdale with his second straight
par 70 on Friday, leaving him one
stroke off Choi’s lead.
Norman won the Open twice in
his prime but never thought it was
still there for the taking at age 53.
“My expectations were almost
nil coming in,” he said bluntly. “I
hadn’t played a lot of golf.”
Talk about low expectations.
There’s no way Duval could have
expected much, not after missing
the cut 10 of 11 times on the PGA
Tour this year.
Suddenly, he’s playing like the
guy who won the 2001 British
Open and seemed ready to challenge Tiger Woods as the world’s
INSIDE:
best player. After that, injuries and
erratic play sent his career into
steep decline.
Duval shot a 69 — his first
round in the 60s at the British Open
since he won at Royal Lytham &
St. Annes — and was three shots
behind Choi in a large group that
included defending champion
Padraig Harrington.
The Irishman wasn’t even sure
he could play because of his sore
wrist, yet Harrington looked just
fine in playing the final four holes
4 under for a 68 that gave him a
chance to become Europe’s first
repeat winner of the British Open
since 1906.
Choi finished with back-to-back
birdies for a 67, rolling in a 20footer at No. 18 to push his tworound total to 1-under 139. He was
the only player in the field under
par.
“I’m very surprised,” the South
Korean said.
He shouldn’t be. A year ago,
Choi was just two strokes off the
lead at the 36-hole mark, playing in
the final group Saturday with
Sergio Garcia. He couldn’t keep it
going and tied for eighth.
With two days to go, Norman
still considers himself the longest
of long shots, and he’s got players
half his age — such as 26-year-old
Camilo Villegas, who shot the best
round yet with a brilliant 5-under
65 Friday — poised to challenge.
Still, it was amazing to see
Norman’s name atop the leaderboard at a tournament he won in
1986 at Turnberry and then again in
at Royal St. George’s seven years
later — especially since he’s trying
to be the oldest player by far to win
a major.
Julius Boros was 48 when he
captured the PGA Championship in
1968.
“You feel like you’re stepping
back in time,” Norman said, his
bride watching from the back of the
room after following him around
the links course. “My expectations
are still realistically low. ... I
haven’t been there for a long time.”
Norman’s focus has certainly

NEW YORK — Robinson Cano
hit a three-run homer, Alex
Rodriguez also connected and the
New York Yankees made it an easy
night for Mike Mussina in a 7-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on
Friday.
Richie Sexson hit an RBI single in
his first at-bat with the Yankees, and
Mussina (12-6) pitched six effective
innings to tie Cleveland’s Cliff Lee
and fellow All-Star Joe Saunders of
the Los Angeles Angels for most
wins in the AL.
Mussina was left off the All-Star
team for Tuesday night’s showcase at
Yankee Stadium, but he’s certainly
pitched like one of baseball’s best
this season.
The 39-year-old right-hander
allowed eight singles and a double,
but did not walk a batter for the
eighth time this year. Relying on pinpoint control, he has 16 walks in 20
starts spanning 113 1-3 innings.
Mussina gave up an RBI groundout to Ryan Sweeney in the first, then
settled in to finish with six strikeouts.
David Robertson struck out all three
hitters in the seventh, Edwar Ramirez
worked a perfect eighth and LaTroy
Hawkins tossed a 1-2-3 ninth as New
York pitchers combined to retire their
final 14 batters.
Bobby Abreu added an RBI double for the Yankees and Rodriguez
(three hits) had a run-scoring single
off lefty Greg Smith (5-8), handed
the ball when scheduled starter Joe
Blaton was traded to Philadelphia on
Thursday.
The A’s, who won six of their previous seven at Yankee Stadium, have
lost three straight overall for the first
time since dropping four in a row
May 28-31.
New York, which began a stretch
that includes 13 of 16 games at home,
equaled a season high by winning its
fifth consecutive home game.
Looking for another second-half
surge to match last year, the Yankees
improved to 10-3 against AL West
teams.
They hope Sexson can provide
some pop from the right side against
left-handed pitching, and he delivSee A'S, Page 7

SPORTS
NIMES, France — In a
race thrown into turmoil by
drugs,
Britain’s
Mark
Cavendish won a stage for the
fourth time and Australia’s
Cadel Evans kept the yellow
jersey Friday as the Tour de
France tried to recover from
another scandal.
This was the second
straight stage victory for
Cavendish. Leading a group
sprint, the Team Columbia
rider beat Australia’s Robbie
McEwen by nearly two bike
lengths in the hot and windy
ride, with France’s Romain
Feillu third.
“The first stage win was
my favorite; today’s was the
hardest,” Cavendish said after
the 113-mile run from
Narbonne to Nimes. “Every
win’s a win.”
Evans retained the overall
lead by finishing alongside his
main rivals in the main pack.
He leads Frank Schleck of
Luxembourg by one second
and Christian Vande Velde of
the United States by 38.
Italy’s Riccardo Ricco on
Thursday became the third
rider to test positive for the
banned performance enhancer
EPO, prompting his Saunier
Duval team to quit the race
and fire him the next day.
Ricco was held overnight for
police questioning.
Saunier Duval also fired
Leonardo Piepoli, an Italian
who won the 10th stage for
“violation of the team’s ethical code.” The team declined
to elaborate.
French judicial officials
filed preliminary charges
Friday against Ricco, citing
“use of a toxic substance.” He
was released under judicial
watch and ordered not to
speak to anyone from his
team. Antoine Leroy, French
state prosecutor for the town
of Foix, said Ricco contested
the claim that he had used
EPO.
A police search of a hotel
room where Ricco had stayed
turned up medical equipment,
such as syringes, catheters
and medical bags, but no doping products, Leroy said.

been elsewhere in recent years
as he cut back on his golf,
turned to his myriad business
interests and endured a messy,
costly divorce. Recently, he
was more concerned about
planning his wedding to Evert
than prepping for the Open,
one of the rare golf events on
his schedule.
The two got married in the
Bahamas less than three
weeks ago, then kept the honeymoon going once they
headed across the Atlantic.
“The least of my worries
was getting out there and
practicing,” Norman conceded. “My mind has really been
elsewhere.”
With no offense to
Norman’s steady play, no one
was hotter Friday than
Villegas, who started his
round with two bogeys but
closed with five straight
birdies — rolling in putts of
16, 6, 16, 3 and 20 feet.
“I obviously played unbelievable,” the Colombian said.
Villegas, dubbed “SpiderMan” for his unique, crouching style of reading putts and
one of golf’s most noted fashion plates, has come across as
more flash than substance.
He’s never won on the PGA
Tour, but put himself right in
contention at a tournament
known for unlikely champions, including Ben Curtis and
Todd Hamilton.
The Colombian had eight
birdies overall. He capped his
amazing run at the end by
striking the flagstick with his
approach at No. 18, then sinking the putt after the ball ricocheted onto the fringe.
Golf’s oldest major began
in miserable weather, but conditions improved dramatically
Friday. Despite a grim forecast, the rain largely held off
and the breeze off the Irish
Sea remained relatively calm
by Birkdale standards.
Others in the logjam at 2over 142 were Rocco Mediate
Ricco, the Giro d’Italia
runner-up, won the sixth and
ninth stages. He was the
biggest name among the three
riders who tested positive for
EPO during this year’s Tour.
The head of France’s antidoping agency, Pierre Bordry,
said Ricco had tested positive
for CERA (continuous erythropoietin receptor activator), an advanced version of
EPO.
Mircera, the brand name
for CERA made by Swissbased Roche Holdings, helps
users produce more red blood
cells, company spokeswoman
Claudia Schmitt said. It
received U.S. and European
approvals last year as a treatment for anemia caused by
kidney failure. The substance
remains much longer in the
body than regular EPO.
Schmitt said Roche has
provided information about
the treatment to the World
Anti-Doping Agency, which
has banned EPO for athletes.
Roche wants the drug used by
patients only, she said.
Spanish riders Moises
Duenas Nevado and Manuel
Beltran were also ejected
from the Tour this year for
using EPO.
Bordry said Piepoli was
one of several riders targeted
because he had suspicious
blood parameters in pre-Tour
blood tests July 4 and 5 and
because of “information from
outside sources.” Bordry
would not elaborate on those
sources, saying only that he
was awaiting test results on
Piepoli and other riders.
A French law took effect
this month that makes anyone
who produces, transports,
acquires or possesses doping
products liable for up to five
years in prison and a $119,000
fine.
This marks the first time
athletes who take drugs can be
liable in the justice system.
Previously, possession of a
doping product was not illegal.
Some critics said the law
was too tough, and athletes
should be punished with
sports sanctions, not legal
sanctions.
(73), Graeme McDowell (73),
Jim Furyk (71), Robert
Allenby (73) and Alexander
Noren (70).
Garcia, looking to make up
for a devastating playoff loss
to Harrington at Carnoustie,
rolled in a 75-foot birdie at
No. 4 but ran into trouble after
the turn. He bogeyed the 10th
and double bogeyed the next
hole on the way to a 73, leaving him six shots behind
going to Saturday, instead of
holding the lead.
Several big names flirted
with the cut line. Ernie Els
followed an opening-round 80
with a 69, but slammed his
putter to the ground after
missing a short par putt at No.
18. Vijay Singh, who also
started with an 80, looked to
be heading home after shooting 71.
Phil Mickelson appeared
safely through to the weekend
after rebounding with a 68 —
11 strokes better than he shot
in the soaking rain and howling wind on Thursday. Lefty
was eight strokes behind
Choi.
Playing in the morning,
Norman had a two-stroke lead
on the field until he made a
mess of No. 17. He put two
shots in the rough and another
in a backside bunker, but
rolled in a 12-footer for bogey
that limited the damage.
After a perfect drive on No.
18, Norman walked up the
fairway twirling his club and
taking in a huge roar from the
British gallery, which knows
him as a two-time Open winner, not the guy who squandered numerous chances to
win majors in the States.
Norman was in danger of
another bogey after he powered a long putt 20 feet past
the cup. But he made the par
saver, giving the slightest hint
of a fist pump, then a tip of the
cap as his caddie patted him
on the shoulder.
“That was quite an ordeal
last few holes,” Norman said.
“I felt like it was getting away
from me a little bit.”

ered right away with a twoout RBI single in the first that
tied it at 1.
Cano followed with a single to right and Rodriguez
barreled into catcher Kurt
Suzuki — a clean collision —
while trying to score. Suzuki,
however,
held
onto
Sweeney’s strong throw for
the third out.
Cano, hoping to rebound
from a disappointing first
half, put the Yankees up 4-1
by driving a 1-2 pitch to rightcenter with two outs in the
third.
That was more than
enough for Mussina, who
improved to 11-3 in his past
16 starts with career win No.
262. His 12th win of the season surpassed last year’s total.
Rodriguez’s solo shot in
the sixth was his 20th this season and the 538th of his
career.
Notes: Oakland won the
opener of its previous nine
series. ... The A’s play 41 of
their final 67 games on the
road. ... It was Rodriguez’s
40th homer against Oakland,
most among active players.

NEW YORK
— The
Oakland Athletics activated
shortstop Bobby Crosby from
the disabled list Friday and
moved left-hander Dallas
Braden into their rotation.
Braden, who had been
pitching in relief, will replace
Joe Blanton in the rotation.
Blanton was traded to the
Philadelphia Phillies on
Thursday for three minor leaguers.
Blanton had been scheduled to start Friday night
against the New York Yankees
in the opener of a three-game
series. Left-hander Greg
Smith got the ball instead, to
be followed by Sean
Gallagher on Saturday and
All-Star Justin Duchscherer
on Sunday.
Braden is slated to start
Tuesday night at Tampa Bay,
after Dana Eveland goes
Monday against the Rays.
The A’s also purchased
Lenny DiNardo’s contract
from Triple-A Sacramento.
This is DiNardo’s third stint
with the club this season, and
manager Bob Geren said the
lefty will work out of the
bullpen.
DiNardo was expected to
arrive at Yankee Stadium in
time to be available Friday
night.
Crosby, who had been sidelined since July 3 with a
strained left hamstring, was in
the starting lineup against the
Yankees. He was hitting .260
with four homers and 38 RBIs
before landing on the DL for
the sixth time in his career.
“Now we know he’s 100
percent,” Geren said.
Braden was recalled from
Sacramento last week for his
fourth stint with Oakland this
season. He was 1-0 with a
4.50 ERA over eight appearances with the A’s, all in
relief.
The A’s also optioned
infielder Gregorio Petit to
Sacramento on Thursday.
In other news, right fielder
Ryan Sweeney was back in
the lineup from a dislocated
finger, but first baseman Daric
Barton sat out with a stiff
neck.
“Hopefully, he’ll be fine by
tomorrow,” Geren said,
adding that Barton was available off the bench.

Readers respond to another’s requirements for a free lunch
Dear Annie: I appreciate the honesty of
“Tired of Paying,” the 50-something single
man who said women should pay their share on
a first date. He said he was looking for a
woman who is well-read, can carry on a stimulating conversation and has a great sense of
humor. However, any sympathy I had ended
when he added, “Unless you are a young, hot
supermodel, don’t expect a free lunch.” It’s
nice to know everything else is worthless. I’d
like to thank him for confirming my worst
fears of the dating world -- that looks ARE
everything. -- Tired of Male Pigs
Dear Tired: We were bombarded with letters from readers, most of whom were spitting
nails at this man. Read on for a sampling:
From Boston, Ky.: No wonder this guy is
still single after 10 years. He must be expecting
more than a “thank you” after his date, and
when he doesn’t get it, he expects a refund.
California: Tell me, Annie, what woman is
going to date him a second time knowing she

wasn’t “hot” enough for him to foot the bill?
Kentucky: Here’s good news for the old
tightwad: You don’t need to pay any longer -just stay at home by yourself for the rest of
your life. He says he wants to meet someone
with a great sense of humor, who’s well-read
and a stimulating conversationalist, as long as
he doesn’t have to pay for her meal. Believe
me, if she’s all that, she doesn’t need him.
Racine, Wis.: I am a successful single
woman in my mid-30s and have no trouble getting dates. I always pay for my meal since it
seems the responsible thing to do. I usually
arrange to meet in a convenient location and go
for a walk in a public place. It’s healthy, free

and great for conversation. If things go well,
the date can be extended to include a meal or
coffee.
Santa Cruz, Calif.: Who would go out with
a man in his 50s, wealthy and reasonably handsome, who expects his date to pay her share
unless she’s a “young, hot supermodel”? Not
those who have to pay because they’re not
babe enough, and certainly not the young, hot
supermodel because she most likely sees him
as he is: old and wrinkled. Good luck, dude.
Tahoe: I can only imagine you were holding
back when you wrote your very civil reply to
this man. Whoever does the asking and the
choosing of the restaurant should assume he is
going to pay. Period.
Dear Annie: I am a single mom with a 9year-old boy. When I am asked out on a date, I
always offer to pay my portion. Not only does
that take care of any possible misconceptions,
it gives both parties the comfort of knowing
they are not obligated to do more, but can if
they choose.
Santa Clarita, Calif: So, if a woman is normal-looking, she has to pay for her dinner, but
if she’s great-looking, he’s willing to part with
his money? What does HE look like?
Newsflash: Miss Great-Looking Supermodel is
looking for Mr. Great-Looking Supermodel

and I bet she wouldn’t settle for “Tired.”
Chicago: I guess it’s true -- everyone DOES
have a price. He’d pay for a young supermodel’s meal, but resents paying if he has to work
to find out if I have a sense of humor and can
hold up my end of a conversation. At what
point would my personality convince him I’m
worth the price of my dinner?
Louisiana: Is this guy for real? I am an
intelligent woman with a great sense of humor
and always pay my own way. Yet he is looking
for a supermodel who’s well-read, able to carry
on a stimulating conversation and has a great
sense of humor. I’m surprised he didn’t include
weight and height, hair color and cleavage
specifications -- all of these are important for a
woman to know before she sells herself for a
hamburger.

With so many advertising
mediums dividing the attention of
potential customers, newspapers
remain the most effective source
for reaching consumers. Why?
Simply put, newspapers reach
more people, more often. Highly
portable and highly visible,
newspaper ads go with people
and stay with them.
That means your business is more
likely to be on their minds when
they’re in the market for related
products or services. When it
comes to spending your
advertising dollars, make the
choice that’s tried and true:
Newspaper advertising works

A Simple
Way to
Help
Your
Child's
Education
To help battle the high cost of education,
use the newspaper as a simple answer to
many questions. From social studies, to the
arts and sciences, the newspaper is an
inexpensive way to diversify the daily
curriculum.
The advantages of Newspapers In Education
(NIE) are many:
• Affordable. Special student rates make
newspapers affordable textbooks covering a
variety of subjects.
• Improves reading skills. Evidence has
shown there is a correlation between
knowledge and achievement among
students who read the newspaper.
• Up-to-date. The newspaper is a current
source of information which gives students a
realistic look at events.
• High interest rates. Students have a high
interest in the newspaper because of the
variety of subjects covered. There’s
something for everyone.
For information on how you can become involved in
NIE, call (468-3500) today.

McCain, Obama hedge on costly new Marine One
By GLEN JOHNSON
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — John
McCain and Barack Obama
vow to reform the nation’s
defense procurement if elected president, yet each is
unwilling to take a firm stand
against the skyrocketing cost
of a plum White House perk:
the new Marine One helicopter.
Originally carrying a hefty
price tag at $6.1 billion, the
fleet of 28 helicopters being
built to fly the next president
is now projected to cost $11.2
billion.
At $400 million apiece, the
helicopters far exceed a prime
example McCain uses on the
campaign trail to rail against
congressional
pork-barrel
spending, a $230 million
“bridge to nowhere” in
Alaska. The British have
bought the same base model
helicopter for $57 million
each.
In separate interviews with
The Associated Press, the
Republican and Democratic
presidential
candidates
pledged to look at the program
but stopped short of saying
whether it should be canceled.
Any review after the next
president takes office in
January would butt up against
the first deliveries of the helicopters, slated for 2010.
McCain labeled the contract growth a “scandal”
before asking to revise his
assessment “in a more polite
way.” He said the program is
part of “an out-of-control procurement system that has to be
fixed.”
Obama said, “I haven’t

activities on a property to a
mutually agreed upon level.
The landowner voluntarily
agrees to contribute to the
public good by preserving the
conservation values on the
property, and the easement
holder (in this case the state
parks department) has responsibility for monitoring future
uses of the land to ensure
compliance with the terms of
the easement.
“As the population of our
Fires

Contained fires are not fires
that have been extinguished.
Carr said a contained fire has
a fire line all the way around it
but may still be burning and
smoking in spots within the
fire line.
Firefighters will be remaining on the lines to go back
over contained fires to extinguish hot spots until the fires
are controlled, a state where
firefighters feel they can walk
away without worrying the
fire will flare up again, a
taken a close look at it, but, in
principle, it is a lot of money,
even in Washington.”
Asked whether the president needed such a large and
expensive fleet of helicopters
for his most common trip, a
10-minute flight to and from
Andrews Air Force Base,
Obama said: “Here’s what I
know: that we should be
spending a lot more money
trying to figure out how to get
our energy policy right than
we should be on helicopters
for the president. I have not
examined in detail this proposal, and since you brought it
up, I’ll take a close look at it.”
Congress and the Pentagon
are already reviewing the program to determine how to
cope with the contract growth.
In an audit, the Government
Accountability Office has also
raised concerns about the helicopter’s weight and its new
rotor system.
The program has its roots
in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks. After the attacks,
President Bush flew on Air
Force One, a customized
Boeing 747, from Florida to
military bases in Louisiana
and Nebraska before returning
to Washington. The chaos of
that day underscored the need
for secure communications
and the commander in chief’s
ability to remain in contact at
all times.
Some of the existing fleet
of 19 presidential helicopters,
any of which is known as
“Marine One” when the president is aboard, are more than
30 years old. Several have
broken down on presidential
trips, a concern that prompted
then-White House Chief of
Staff Andrew Card to begin
the replacement process in
2002.
In 2005, the Pentagon
awarded the contract, itself a
subject
of
controversy.
Connecticut-based Sikorsky
Aircraft, which had always
supplied helicopters for the
president, was beaten in the
bidding process by Lockheed
Martin. The Maryland-based
firm proposed a variation of a
European helicopter built by
Agusta-Westland.
Since then, the contractor
has complained the Navy has
added 1,900 requirements that
have driven up the cost. A
swift development schedule
has production starting while
design is still underway.
Pentagon officials insist the
contract has not been changed
since it was signed.
The current plan calls for
fielding five helicopters,
which will then be replaced by
a fleet of 23 more once equipment and design issues are
resolved.
White House and Pentagon
officials say the president
needs so many because he can
make several stops in a day
requiring helicopter travel.
Pilots in the elite HMX-1
Marine division also train
constantly in the aircraft and
fly other dignitaries, including
the vice president, defense
secretary and foreign heads of
state.
And as can be witnessed by
tourists on the National Mall
near the White House, several
of the identically marked helicopters often accompany
Marine One in flight as
decoys.
McCain, a former Navy
pilot, has promised to review
all military programs with the
aim of reforming defense procurement. He argues he saved
taxpayers $6.2 billion program by scuttling an Air Force
plan to lease aerial refueling
planes from Boeing. Two
company executives, one of
them a former Air Force procurement official who helped
negotiate the tanker lease
before being hired by Boeing,
went to jail over the deal.
Boeing’s chief executive officer subsequently stepped
down.
“I’m talking about a broken
system in Washington, and the
helicopter is a visible manifestation of a very serious problem we have of overspending,” McCain said. “So, all I
can say is it’s also going to be
the responsibility of the president to get defense procurement fixed and give the taxpayers a reasonable return on
their defense dollar.”
Should the contract be halted?
“The helicopter? Should it
be stopped?” the Arizona senator said to the AP as his
“Straight Talk Express” campaign bus rolled through
Ohio. “I haven’t gotten an
update on it recently enough
to know it. But it’s certainly
an unacceptable situation with
costs overruns.”
Obama said the cost growth
is an example “of some of the
systemic problems that we
have in Pentagon procurement.”
state continues to grow, and
urban growth expands into
previously undeveloped areas,
additional pressures are being
placed on the resources of the
state parks system,” Wiggins
said.
She noted that the state
parks department doesn’t have
the budget to buy up all the
lands that buffer state parks
and this is one solution.
“DPR is authorized to purchase land for the purpose of
protecting parks from development and other impending
threats, but this solution is not
always economically feasible,” Wiggins added. “An
easement is a good tool for the
department to use to preserve
the state park system; it costs
less, and also allows the land
to remain in the hands of the
private land owner. Further, it
defends the land from incompatible use issues, and it
relieves the department from
incurring maintenance costs.”
SB 1431 clarifies that DPR
is allowed to acquire a conservation easement if the department determines that it is necessary to protect a unit of the
state park system from an
incompatible use or to preserve and enhance the natural
resource, cultural, or historic
value of a state park unit.
The bill also enables DPR
to make grants to a state or
local government agency, or a
nonprofit, to purchase and
hold a conservation easement
with funds that have been
appropriated to the department for land acquisitions.
Grant recipients would be
required to monitor and
enforce the easement and
agree to restrict the use of the
land in perpetuity.

process that could take up to
three weeks.
“The emergency aspect of
the event has been mitigated,”
Carr said. “We can now begin
to move in a more deliberate,
controlled fashion.”
Carr said the Incident
Command Team will now
break the complex up into
blocks and assign fire crews to
distinct areas where they can
work the fires directly.
“The crews will be working, mopping up and taking
care of hot spots,” he said.
Though the fires are contained, Carr said county residents will still see some
smoke and fire, though most
of it will be well inside the
containment
lines
and
watched by firefighters. If residents think they see a fire that
has expanded beyond containment lines, they are encouraged to report it.
Now that the fires are contained, the Incident Command
Team will also start the
process of demobilizing fire
crews. Some of them will be
sent to other fires that are still
burning uncontrolled across
California. Others will be
given downtime and sent back
to their home counties, or in
some cases, home countries.
At the height of the incident, more than 2,200 firefighters were working the fire
lines in Mendocino County,
some from as far away as
British Colombia and Saipan.
Next week, Carr said the
Incident Command Team
itself will demobilize and
leave the count, turning over
control of the fire to
Mendocino County Cal Fire
units.
“The logistical operations
will fall back on the
Mendocino Unit,” he said.
The command team will
leave the fairgrounds where
they have worked for close to
four weeks, just in time for the
Redwood Empire Fair which
is scheduled to open on Aug.
7.

Democrats want to raise taxes

It is nothing new. State
lawmakers haven’t passed a
budget by June 15 since 1986,
although they came close in
1999, missing the deadline by
only one day. There’s no
penalty if they don’t meet the
deadline.

surroundings (such as not
chasing a cat). In order to do
so, the students must command the dog’s attention by
holding their eye contact for
one minute. In this exercise,
the clickers and treats are
also used.
At the end of the program,
the dogs will be more adoptable in that they will be
accustomed to being handled
by different people, know
basic commands such as “sit”
and have self control. The
students will also run an
adoption day on August 2 at
the Ukiah farmers’ market
where they will show off
what the dogs have learned
and hopefully find them new
homes.
Frey said that no matter
when the state budget is finally approved, scheduled delays
in the reimbursements health
care providers receive for
treating Medi-Cal patients
during the entire month of
August will still occur.
“The withholding of medical reimbursements is still in
place so that means regardless
of whether budget is signed,
their reimbursement is going
to be delayed,” she said. “It’s
a huge cash flow problem for
these organizations. Some
entities have things they can
fall back on that can help fill
in some of that gap. One of
the things we’re trying to do is
look at exemptions for these
providers.”
