The Daily JournalA Mendocino County baby has been

diagnosed with infant botulism, accordingto the county Public Health Department.

The cause of the botulism is not con-firmed, and the child is currently recover-ing and doing well, according to PublicHealth.

The infant’s mother reported that inaddition to being breast-fed, the baby wasfed Earth’s Best Organic baby food. Whilethere is no confirmed link between thiscase and the baby food, the U.S. Food andDrug Administration has initiated an ongo-ing recall for the following jars of Earth’sBest baby food because of the risk of con-tamination with Clostridium botulinum, abacterium that can cause botulism.

The affected baby food is as follows:Earth’s Best Organic 2 Apple Peach

Barley Wholesome Breakfast (4.5 ouncejars), expiration date, Sept. 14, 2008;Earth’s Best Organic 2 WholesomeBreakfast variety pack (12 pack), expira-tion date, Sept. 13, 2008; and Earth’s BestOrganic 2 Apple Peach Barley (4.5 ouncejars within 12 pack), expiration date Sept.14, 2008.

Botulism, a potentially fatal form offood poisoning, usually causes illnesswithin 18 to 36 hours of exposure. Initialindication of illness in infants is decreasedfrequency or absence of stools. Other signsand symptoms noted are poor feeding,weak suck, lethargy, listlessness, weak cry,decreased body tone and diminished over-all movement.

Older people who may be consumingthe product as part of a pureed diet mightexperience symptoms such as blurredvision, dizziness, dry mouth and progres-sive weakness from head to legs.

Drivers on Highway 101 from theGolden Gate Bridge to the redwoods ofMendocino County would be well advisedto be on their best behavior today becausethe California Highway Patrol will be outin force.

The CHP will be committing everyavailable officer to an “enhanced, focusedenforcement campaign” along Highway101 from the Golden Gate Bridge to theUkiah redwoods, according to a reportfrom the CHP.

“We’ll have officers out there doingadditional enforcement,” said CHP officerRobert Simas.

The CHP is saturating the highway hop-ing to raise awareness of the factors thatmost commonly contribute to traffic acci-dents and fatalities, including speeding, notwearing seat belts and driving under theinfluence.

Simas said the idea originated with theCHP office in Santa Rosa.

Officers plan to use a combination ofenforcement strategies, including AircraftSpeed Enforcement teams, radar and lidarenforcement, specially marked patrol vehi-cles, and commercial officers in an attemptto reduce deaths and injuries on Highway101.

After more than 18 months ofcampaigning in three differentelections against four oppo-nents, Fort Bragg attorneyMeredith Lintott was sworn inas Mendocino County districtattorney at Tuesday’s Board ofSupervisors meeting.

“It’s become a whole way oflife,” Lintott said about the cam-paign. “I’m really looking for-ward to getting to work.”

April’s special election waswinner-take-all, and whileLintott earned the largest num-ber of votes, 46.1 percent, themajority of voters divided the

vote between the other two can-didates. Lintott said she was notconcerned that she had notearned more than 50 percent ofthe votes in the special election.

“These are clearly peoplewith an interest in the DistrictAttorney’s Office,” Lintott saidof the voters.

She said the first thing sheplanned to do was bring the staffat the District Attorney’s Officetogether and encourage them toput aside any differences for thegood of the county.

The Mendocino County Board ofSupervisors Tuesday authorized theSheriff’s Office to apply for a $118,905grant from the Governor’s Office ofEmergency Services to continue to fund theCounty of Mendocino MarijuanaEradication Team.

The item was pulled from the board’sconsent calendar, a portion of the meetingagenda considered to be routine and non-controversial, by Supervisor John Pinchesto allow for public discussion because ofinterest generated on the topic.

A number of marijuana proponents who

attended the meeting were concerned thatMeasure G, a voter initiative passed in 2000indicating marijuana enforcement should bethe lowest priority of local law enforcement,was being superseded by continuing pro-grams such as COMMET.

“Since (the measure passed), every sher-iff, every district attorney and every Boardof Supervisors has acted as if Measure Gdid not exist,” Richard Johnson, formermanager of the Measure G campaign, saidduring public comment. “Most prominently,they have applied for an annual grant fromthe State Justice Department for more than$100,000 in order to fund a self-styled, mar-ijuana eradication team.”

County Counsel Jeanine Nadel, however,said the sheriff is mandated to enforce statelaws related to the cultivation and sale ofillegal marijuana.

“You don’t have the ability to interferewith his discretion to conduct law enforce-ment activities, nor do you have the abilityto interfere with the district attorney’s dis-cretion in prosecuting cases,” she told thesupervisors.

Sheriff Tom Allman said continuing tofund COMMET -- the grant would providethe salary for one sheriff’s sergeant for ayear -- would allow his office to focus on

Gunman in Virginia Tech massacre had raisedconcerns with his disturbing writings

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — The gunman in the Virginia Tech massacre wasa sullen loner who alarmed professors and classmates with his twisted, violence-drenched creative writing and left a rambling note in his dorm room ragingagainst women and rich kids. A chilling picture emerged Tuesday of Cho Seung-Hui — a 23-year-old senior majoring in English — a day after the bloodbath thatleft 33 people dead, including Cho, who killed himself as police closed in.

News reports said that he may have been taking medication for depressionand that he was becoming increasingly violent and erratic.

Despite the many warning signs that came to light in the bloody aftermath,police and university officials offered no clues as to exactly what set Cho off onthe deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.

“He was a loner, and we’re having difficulty finding information about him,”school spokesman Larry Hincker said.

President Bush offers prayers, condolencesat Virginia Tech memorial service

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Representing America’s anguish, PresidentBush told Virginia Tech students and teachers at a somber convocation Tuesdaythat the nation was praying for them and “there’s a power in these prayers.”

“It’s impossible to make sense of such violence and suffering,” Bush said ata memorial service on the campus where 33 people, including the suspectedgunman, died in shootings the day before. “Those whose lives were taken didnothing to deserve their fate,” the president said. “They were simply in thewrong place at the wrong time. Now they’re gone — and they leave behindgrieving families, and grieving classmates, and a grieving nation.”

Before flying to the tragedy-stricken university in southwestern Virginia,Bush ordered flags flown at half staff and issued a written proclamation in honorof those killed and wounded. Speaking to a solemn crowd at a basketball arena,packed with students and others, many wearing orange short-sleeved VirginiaTech T-shirts, the president quoted a recent graduate blogging about the killingsto encourage those who grieve to reach out for help.

Democrats must decide how far to go to challengePresident Bush on Iraq war, post-veto plans

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Democrats say there is no doubtPresident Bush will soon be confronted with legislation calling for an end to theIraq war. But the new majority must decide how far to go in trying to tie Bush’shands and what will happen after the president’s inevitable veto.

The debate is likely to expose fissures among Democrats, who remain divid-ed on whether to cut off money for the unpopular war and risk leaving troops inthe lurch. “My feeling is at a certain point we’re going to have a ‘come-to-Jesus’moment in the caucus and talk about whether you fund (the war) or not,” saidRep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash. McDermott is one of 218 House members, most-ly Democrats, who voted March 23 for legislation that would order combattroops out of Iraq by September 2008.

Japanese mayor dies after being shot by organizedcrime figure who was angry over damage to car

TOKYO (AP) — The mayor of the Japanese city of Nagasaki was shot todeath in a brazen attack Tuesday by an organized crime chief apparently enragedthat the city refused to compensate him after his car was damaged at a publicworks construction site, police said.

The shooting was rare in a country where handguns are strictly banned andonly five politicians are known to have been killed since World War II.

Mayor Iccho Ito, 61, was shot twice in the back at point-blank range outsidea train station Tuesday evening, Nagasaki police official Rumi Tsujimoto said.

One of the bullets struck the mayor’s heart and he went into cardiac arrest,according to Nagasaki University Hospital spokesman Kenzo Kusano. Ito diedafter emergency surgery, said Nagasaki prefectural police official Hirofumi Ito.

Tetsuya Shiroo, a senior member of Yamaguchi-gumi, Japan’s largest orga-nized crime syndicate, was wrestled to the ground by officers after the attack andarrested, police said.

He later admitted to shooting Ito with a handgun with the intent to kill,Nagasaki chief investigator Kazuki Umebayashi said at a news conference.

Stricter gun control after shootings? Democratic leaders show little eagerness

WASHINGTON (AP) — After the worst mass shooting in U.S. history,Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cautioned Tuesday against a “rush to judg-ment” on stricter gun control. A leading House supporter of restrictions onfirearms conceded passage of legislation would be difficult.

“I think we ought to be thinking about the families and the victims and notspeculate about future legislative battles that might lie ahead,” said Reid, a viewexpressed by other Democratic leaders the day after the shootings that left 33dead on the campus of Virginia Tech.

Democrats traditionally have been in the forefront of efforts to pass gun con-trol legislation, but there is a widespread perception among political strategiststhat the issue has been a loser in recent campaigns. It was notably absent from

the agenda Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled earlier this yearwhen the party took control of the House and Senate for the first time in morethan a decade.

In the wake of the Virginia Tech shootings, a few Democrats renewed the callfor gun control legislation, and more are expected to join them.

“I believe this will reignite the dormant effort to pass commonsense gun reg-ulations in this nation,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat whowas a leader in the failed drive to renew a ban on certain types of assaultweapons that expired in 2004.

N.J. gov.’s SUV was going 91 mph before crashon Garden State Parkway, state police say

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The sport utility vehicle carrying Gov. Jon S.Corzine was traveling about 91 mph moments before it crashed, the superinten-dent of state police said Tuesday.

The governor was critically injured when the vehicle crashed into a guardrailon the Garden State Parkway just north of Atlantic City last week. He apparent-ly was not wearing his seat belt as he rode in the front passenger’s seat.

The speed limit along that stretch of the parkway is 65 mph.The state trooper-driven SUV was in the left lane with its emergency lights

flashing when a pickup tried to get out of its way. Instead, it set off a chain reac-tion that resulted in the crash. Corzine broke his left thigh bone, 11 ribs, collar-bone and chest bone. He also fractured a vertebrae in his lower back.

Study: Benefits trump risks forchildren taking antidepressants

CHICAGO (AP) — Authors of a new comprehensive analysis of antidepres-sants for children and teenagers say the benefits of treatment trump the smallrisk of increasing some patients’ chances of having suicidal thoughts and behav-iors.

The risk they found is lower than the one the Food and Drug Administrationidentified in 2004, the year the agency warned the public about the drugs’ risksin children. After the warning, U.S. youth suicides increased and some mentalhealth experts said reluctance to try antidepressants might be to blame.

The new analysis includes data from seven studies that were not part of theprevious FDA analysis, including two large pediatric depression trials that wereunavailable three years ago.

Researchers analyzed data on 5,310 children and teenagers from 27 studies.They found that for every 100 kids treated with antidepressants, about one addi-tional child experienced worsening suicidal feelings above what would havehappened without drug treatment. In contrast, the FDA analysis found an addedrisk affecting about two in 100 patients.

There were no suicides in any of the studies. The antidepressants includedProzac, Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, Effexor, Serzone and Remeron.

Bermuda cut as stop on Rosie O’Donnell’s gayfamily cruise because of possible church protests

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A summer cruise for gay and lesbian fam-ilies organized by Rosie O’Donnell has cut Bermuda from its planned itinerarybecause of possible protests by church groups in the British island territory.

O’Donnell’s charter company said it would replace the Bermuda stop withtwo ports of call in Florida and a stop at a private island. The tour is scheduledto leave New York in July on a ship owned by Miami-based Norwegian CruiseLine.

The charter company, R Family Vacations, said on its Web site that it wantedto avoid the type of protests that greeted passengers when one of its cruisesstopped in Nassau, Bahamas, in 2004.

In the statement, the company said Bermuda’s prime minister had assuredthem they would be welcome as tourists and they had also received hundreds ofsupportive e-mails from people who live in the wealthy British enclave.

Still, organizers felt they could not be certain there would be no protestersgreeting them upon arrival. “We feel that our cruise would be more enjoyablewith an alternate itinerary to ports where we know we are welcome by every-one.”

U.S. stocks are mixed after inflation data,rise in housing starts during March

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street traded mostly higher Tuesday, briefly push-ing the Dow Jones industrials into record territory after a rise in home construc-tion and a mild reading on consumer inflation encouraged investors to buy.

The technology-dominated Nasdaq composite index and the Russell 2000index of smaller companies slipped, showing that most of the stock market’sgains were isolated in larger companies that are more impervious to economicstumbles.

Many investors were heartened by the Commerce Department’s report thatMarch housing starts rose 0.8 percent — a feeble rise compared with February’s7.6 percent advance, but much better than the drop investors expected. Buildingpermits also rose. Stocks have had many tumultuous weeks this year due to wor-ries about the financial troubles of the subprime lending sector spilling into thealready sluggish housing market.

Giving investors some additional relief, the Labor Department’s core con-sumer price index rose 0.1 percent in March, less than expected, and alleviatingsome anxiety about the Federal Reserve’s need to raise interest rates to curbcosts. The overall consumer price index, which takes into account energy andfood, rose 0.6 percent in March — the largest increase in 11 months — and wasin line with expectations.

Associated Press MADISON, Wis. — Beer lovers of

Wisconsin, rejoice! You’re a step closerto getting a free half-can of suds.

Both chambers of the Legislatureunanimously gave key approval Tuesdayto allow grocery and liquor stores to handout beer samples up to 6 ounces to a per-son of legal drinking age.

“It’s a good bill. It’s a Wisconsin bill.It’s a beer bill,” said Republican Rep.

Scott Newcomer one of the measure’smain sponsors.

Current state law allows wineries tooffer up to 6 ounces of free samples.

Sen. Pat Kreitlow, a Democrat fromChippewa Falls, home of the JacobLeinenkugel Brewing Co., is the bill’smain sponsor in the Senate. He said themeasure would help brewers market awider variety of specialty brands andcompete with wine makers.

Pete Marino, a spokesman for MillerBrewing Co., which has been pushing thebill, said brewers should have the samechance to get the public to taste theirproducts as wine makers. “It’s a greatopportunity for them (consumers) to trythe beers and figure out if they want tospend their hard-earned money to takethe beer home with them,” Marino said.

Miller and Leinenkugel are sub-sidiaries of SABMiller PLC.

Brew-loving Wisconsin lawmakers want to allow stores to hand out beer samples

Some of you may have read this week aboutthe agreement between a number of newspapercompanies including ours, (See story on thispage) MediaNews Group, with Yahoo that willgive our newspapers access to Yahoo’s enormousWeb presence and give Yahoo access to ourunparalleled local news content.

Whenever people ask me about the challengenewspapers face with the popularity of theInternet, I always say that one of the biggestproblems is that news sites like Yahoo have beeneating our lunch by using our own products tocompete with us.

Years ago, Yahoo had a brilliant idea. Theystarted taking the headlines and first graphs ofstories from newspaper Web sites and postingthem on Yahoo. When newspapers pointed outthat this was copyrighted material, Yahoo said,yes, but look how good it is for you newspapers,when our customers click on your stories, it takesthem to your Web site.

Newspapers, in their naivete said, “Oh, OK.”Well, newspapers started doing their own studiesand found out that many more people were read-ing the headlines and first graphs and moving on,than were clicking through to us. And Yahoo wasmaking a bundle in advertising on those newspages while newspapers were doing all the work.Yahoo has no reporters or editors. They “gather”news a different way: from newspapers.

Now newspapers have figured it out. Thevalue of what we do day in and day out is enor-mous. And, while the reading of paper newspa-pers may be dropping, newspapers on theInternet are still the number one place people gofor information they can trust on the Web. Yahooknows this and Yahoo certainly doesn’t want tospend the money to hire all the reporters, pho-tographers and editors it would take to have theirown news operation.

Now we have formed a partnership whereYahoo gets to use our stuff, we get the value oftheir widespread search engine and hopefullyanother piece of the Internet puzzle for newspa-pers is put in place.

As many of you know, newspapers have beenstruggling with how to compete in a news worldwhere no one wants to pay for anything. Peoplewant us to continue to collect the news, edit it,and present it, but they don’t want to pay for it.Doing a good job reporting the news is expensiveand while Web advertising is increasing, that rev-enue isn’t keeping up with the cost of doing botha print product and a Web product well.

The deal with Yahoo also has an advertisingcomponent which allows newspapers and Yahooto use each other’s strengths for advertising --local newspaper sales forces and Yahoo’s techni-cal know-how -- and to cross advertise on sites.It also sets up search and archive modes that willeventually allow someone to plug in the Ukiahzip code and get Ukiah news directly from theUkiah Daily Journal.

The Rotary Club of Ukiah and the SouthUkiah Rotary Club will combine efforts onceagain this year and will host their Rubber DuckyDerby in Low Gap Park on Saturday, May 19from noon to 3 p.m. This family event features atri-tip barbecue (with a vegetarian option), beerand wine, musical entertainment, and a RubberDucky Derby Arcade for the kids, presented bythe staff and kids from Trinity School. Thirtywinning ducks (and their owners) will take home$4,000 in prize money. Duck owners need not bepresent to win.

The Duck Race itself will be held in a special“Aqua Duck” raceway, constructed close to theHarrison Grove picnic area, where everyoneattending can watch the races. Up to 3,000 duckswill brave the challenging course Ducks for therace cost $10 each. A lunch-and-a duck ticket is$20, $15 for children under 10. On the day of theevent, lunch tickets will cost $12. Wine and beerwill be available for sale by the glass. Lunch willbe served from 12:30 to 2 p.m.

Funds raised from the Ducky Derby help sup-port the Ukiah Rotary Clubs community projects.Rotary has contributed financial support and/orvolunteer labor to the Grace Hudson Museum,Trinity School, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, theBoys & Girls Club, Redwood EmpireFairgrounds, Ukiah Unified Schools, PlowShares, and many other community groups andprojects.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Thepublishers of more than 260 U.S.newspapers are hitching theironline aspirations to Internetpowerhouse Yahoo Inc. in anexpanded partnership that under-scores the battle lines beingdrawn as the media grapple for adrevenue shifting to the Web.

The alliance announcedMonday builds upon a consor-tium announced nearly fivemonths ago. Since then, thealliance has recruited five morecompanies, including McClatchyCo., the nation’s third-largestnewspaper publisher based on cir-culation. With the latest additions,the group now spans 264 newspa-pers in 44 states, up from 176papers in 38 states in November.

In another significant change,the partnership’s scope will nowcover all major forms of onlineadvertising instead of focusingprimarily on help-wanted ads, ashad been the case until now.

The newspapers also will fun-nel more of their stories throughYahoo’s heavily trafficked news,finance and sports sections in aneffort to lure more readers to theirWeb sites.

The financial terms and thelength of the newspaper consor-tium’s contract with Yahooweren’t disclosed. In a Mondayconference call, newspaper exec-utives predicted Yahoo will helptheir companies recoup some oftheir recent losses to the Internet.Without providing specifics, thenewspaper executives indicatedthe anticipated revenue gainsfrom the Yahoo partnership wouldbecome evident next year.

The amount spent on theInternet by local advertisers -- amajor source of newspaper rev-enue -- is expected to total $12.4billion in 2010, up from $3.4 bil-lion last year.

Meanwhile, advertisers aren’tspending as much on print. Thattrend became even more apparentlast year when overall printadvertising at newspapers fell 1.7percent while online advertisingincreased 31.5 percent, accordingto the Newspaper Association ofAmerica, an industry group. Totalnewspaper revenue dipped by 0.3percent.

Sacramento-based McClatchyjoined the Yahoo alliance afterturning down a chance to partici-pate in another online advertisingnetwork being cobbled togetherby the nation’s two largest news-paper publishers, Gannett Co. andTribune Co. The three publishersare already joint owners ofCareerBuilder, an online employ-ment ad service that competeswith Yahoo’s HotJobs.

“McClatchy looked a variousoptions and concluded this is the

industry play,” McClatchy Co.Chairman Gary Pruitt said duringMonday’s conference call. “Thisis where the momentum is. Ourmessage to other newspaper play-ers is, ’Come on board.”’

Both Gannett and Tribune haveexpressed serious reservationsabout the structure of the Yahoopartnership, concerns that theyreiterated Monday.

“We are open to talking withanyone but are interested in craft-ing the right solution, not thequickest solution,” Gannett saidin a statement.

In a separate statement, aTribune executive said theChicago-based company is deter-mined to build on a more democ-ratic network. “In essence and bydesign we seek to create, a truly’open network,”’ said TimothyLandon, who runs Tribune’s inter-active division.

Newspaper industry analystJohn Morton said he believeseven some of the publishers par-ticipating in the Yahoo alliancemay still have misgivings aboutentering into a deal that couldpotentially weaken their ownbrands and push even moreadvertising to the Internet.

“There are probably some lin-gering suspicions about how thiswill all work out,” he said.

While the newspaper industrysplinters in different directions,Sunnyvale-based Yahoo has beenscrambling to gain ground onGoogle Inc., whose Internet-lead-ing search engine has become thehub of the Web’s largest advertis-ing network.

The newspaper alliance helps

Yahoo on two fronts by wideningthe audience for its own search-driven ads while also undermin-ing Google’s just-announced $3.1billion acquisition ofDoubleClick Inc., a major distrib-utor of display ads.

New York-based DoubleClickcurrently serves ads to many ofthe newspapers aligned withYahoo, but that will change underthe deal announced Monday. Theswitch to Yahoo is expected tooccur as the DoubleClick con-tracts expire.

“We have strong partnershipswith many leading newspapersand we remain committed toworking with them as they growtheir businesses online andoffline,” Google said in a state-ment.

Mountain View-based Googlealready has been working withsome of the nation’s largest news-papers in an effort to sell moreprint advertising.

Yahoo shares gained 20 centsto close at $31.61 on the NasdaqStock Market, where Googleshares rose by $7.98 to finish at$474.27.

Newspapers need all the helpthey try to recapture some of theadvertising that has been divertedto the Internet, said Greg Sterling,Greg Sterling, who runs marketresearch firm Sterling MarketIntelligence.

“I don’t think there are manyother good options out there for(the newspapers),” Sterling said.“Many of these papers are underenormous pressure to have a storyto tell Wall Street and otherinvestors, to show they have an

Internet strategy that has sometraction.”

Wall Street’s skepticism aboutthe newspaper industry’s growthprospects already has contributedto the sales of Tribune Co. andKnight Ridder Inc., which wasthe nation’s second-largest news-paper publisher when it wasforced on to the auction block bydissident shareholders.

McClatchy wound up buyingKnight Ridder for $4 billion in adeal that hasn’t helped the compa-ny much so far. Since McClatchyannounced the Knight Ridderacquisition in March 2006, thecompany’s stock price hasplunged by 41 percent.McClatchy shares fell 27 centsMonday to close at $31.19 on theNew York Stock Exchange.

Monday’s announcement pro-vided a lift to the other publiclytraded newspaper publishersinvolved in the consortium.

Belo Corp. shares gained 35cents to finish at $19.42 on theNew York Stock Exchange,where shares of The E.W. ScrippsCo. rose 24 cents to close at$45.08.

To our readers: Last week,we replied to an adult child ofa retired couple in their late60s. He was concerned that hisparents -- on fixed incomes --were having problems makingends meet, owing not only torising costs of living but alsoto large homeowner's insurancepayments, property taxes, life-insurance premiums and thelike. They had gone more than$40,000 into debt on high-interest credit cards and wereable to make only minimumpayments. Their home, pur-chased years ago, has beenreassessed by local governmentto be valued at more than$750,000, thus increasing theirproperty taxes substantially.They were concerned not onlyabout current debt but alsoabout what would happen ifone of them became seriouslyill.

We pointed out last week thesignificant increases in the costof long-term care based uponthe "2007 Cost of Care Survey"by Genworth Financial. Thisweek, we offer options on howseniors can handle theonslaught of increased costswithout affecting their monthlycash flow.

There was a time when aperson's home was his castle,and the equity was sacrosanct.Not today. But it's not only ris-ing costs of eating and drivingthat are affecting those onfixed incomes. Property taxesare also being increased with-

out mercy by city and countygovernments, not to mentionschool districts. The inabilityof local and county govern-ments to stay within budgetsrivals both Congress and statelegislatures. And the lessmoney that flows fromWashington down to states andfrom states to cities and coun-ties, the more property taxeswill increase.

What to do? High-interestcredit cards are certainly notthe answer. Nor, for mostseniors on fixed incomes, arefirst mortgages and home-equi-ty loans with attendant monthlypayments.

But the FHA-insured reversemortgage, available to home-owners age 62 and over wholive at home, allows seniors totransform home equity intomonthly income streams and/orcredit lines, depending on fam-ily needs. The mortgage isrepaid when the senior nolonger occupies the residence.

While tapping home equity

to meet current needs and qual-ity of life may not be theoption of choice for manyseniors -- because that is nothow they were raised -- forfolks like our reader's parents,a reverse mortgage may be thebest solution.

Prior to receiving theseloans, homeowners mustreceive counseling by Housingand Urban Development-approved counselors who edu-cate not only about eligibilitybut also about financial impli-cations and alternatives. Thisprerequisite allows seniors tomake informed determinationsof whether a reverse mortgagewill meet their needs.

The percentage available isdetermined based on a formulathat includes such factors asthe age of the youngest owner(if jointly titled), the currentinterest rate and the value ofthe residence. The older theowner, the higher the percent-age of equity, up to the maxi-mum that is governed by whereyou live.

Should the residence requirerepairs, sufficient funds tomake those repairs will betaken from the loan amount.There are no credit qualifica-tions, and closing costs can befinanced as part of the transac-tion. The residence mayinclude everything from single-family homes to approved con-dominiums to manufacturedhomes on leased land. There

are a number of payout optionsthat can be changed for a smallfee.

At the time the residence isno longer occupied, the loanprincipal and interest is paidfrom the sales price with theremaining equity being paid tothe owner's will beneficiariesor legal heirs. If a residencegoes down in value, there is noway the mortgage will ever bemore than the sale price of thehome.

Taking the NextStep: If ourreader's parents secured areverse mortgage, they couldestablish a line of credit anduse it to pay off credit cardsand pay annual taxes, automo-bile and homeowner's coverageand property taxes, not to men-tion long-term-care insurance,without impacting their fixed-income budget.

Watching the rails rustTo the Editor: A few copies back there was an article

in Readers’ Digest. This article was con-cerning pork barrel spending by our politi-cians. A senator in Alaska had acquiredmillions of dollars of the taxpayers’money to extend a railroad in Alaska froma community of 4,500 people to a commu-nity of 1,400 people, a distance of approx-imately 45 miles. And plus there is noindustry in the town of 1,400 people andno products to ship except people, butthey are building a railroad. In northernCalifornia we have a railroad in place, wealso have a government spending millionsof dollars on this railroad. But the onlything this money is being used for is topay a bunch of people to stand around andwatch the rails rust.

Sweet land of libertyNAT HENTOFF

Nat Hentoff is a nationally renowned authority onthe First Amendment and the Bill of Rights.

The new U.N. secretary-general, Ban Ki-moon, hasasked the United States and Britain to delay strongersanctions on the murderous Sudanese government sothat he can have more time to persuade President Gen.Omar al-Bashir to allow U.N. troops into his land ofmass killings, rapes and refugees. But according toJackson Diehl in The Washington Post (April 2),George W. Bush, raising his voice, recently demandedthat his envoy to Sudan, Andrew Natsios, come upwith stronger sanctions.

Economic sanctions -- or travel curbs on Sudanesedignitaries -- have not, and will not, work so long asthe Khartoum regime has Big Brother China as its vitaleconomic partner -- sitting with veto power in the U.N.Security Council. China imports more than 60 percentof Sudan's bountiful oil output and has otherwise heav-ily invested in that nations' genocidal economy.

China, a ceaseless violator of the human rights of somany its own citizens, is not going to be moved by amere holocaust of black Africans in Darfur. And itscomplicity in these crimes against so much humanityhas hardly blighted China's increasingly influentialeconomic presence in other African countries and inLatin America while the corpses mount in Darfur.

However, as China moves to replace the UnitedStates as the world's most powerful nation, China alsodesires worldwide respect.

Savoring its delight in being selected as host of the2008 Olympics, China created a slogan -- "One World,One Dream" -- for these ennobling events that willattract intense international attention on glisteningBeijing. Memories of blood-soaked Tiananmen Squarehave faded around the world. But for those whoremember, the Chinese government's massacre ofthousands of students in June 1989 -- horrifying as itwas -- pales in comparison with the more than 400,000black Africans obliterated by China's close partner,Sudan, in Darfur -- along with the mass rapes of somany painfully surviving black African women.

I expect the present Chinese leaders -- as the gloriesof the 2008 Olympics approach -- would not want anyreferences to their complicity in the ongoing holocaustin Darfur. It is because these horrors are unabated thatFrancois Bayrou, a leading candidate for the presiden-cy of France, declares (Associated Press, March 22):"if this drama does not stop, France would do itselfcredit by not coming to the Olympic Games (inBeijing)."

This is not the only call for shaming the host of the2008 Olympics. In an article in the March 28 WallStreet Journal, "The Genocide Olympics," human-rights activists Mia Farrow and Yale law studentRonan Farrow (both of whom have traveled to Darfur)call for corporate sponsors of the 2008 Olympics torecognize that: "one thing that China may hold moredear than their unfettered access to Sudanese oil (is)their successful staging of the 2008 SummerOlympics. That desire may provide a lone point ofleverage with a country that has otherwise been imper-vious to all criticism."

Mia and Ronan Farrow are appalled that "so manycorporate sponsors (of the Olympic games) want theworld to look away from that (genocide) atrocity dur-ing the games." The Farrows also cite "StevenSpielberg (who is preparing) to help stage the Olympicceremonies to sanitize Beijing's image."

It astonishes me that the same Spielberg soadmirably founded the Shoah foundation that recordsthe testimony of the survivors of the Nazi's Holocaust.How can he fail to make any connection with Shoahand the holocaust in Darfur?

The Farrows also ask whether "the various televi-sion sponsors (of the Beijing Olympics) want to sharein that shame" of the host's complicity in genocide --along with such American corporate sponsors of thegames as Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola, GeneralElectric and McDonald's.

Some of their customers might want to questiontheir partnership with genocidal China.

Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch,Human Rights First and many other humanitarianorganizations, religious groups and deeply concernedpeople around the world have been working insistent-ly, without success, to stop this genocide. Focusing onthe forthcoming Beijing Olympics, they can organize alast-chance rescue of the Darfur survivors by an inter-national shaming of China. And I hope there will benations who boycott the summer Olympics.

Only China can compel Gen. al-Bashir's NationalIslamic Front government of Sudan to stop the massmurders and rapes because only China has the eco-nomic force -- including its involvement in supplyingholocaust-enabling weapons to the murderousSudanese army and its barbaric Janjaweed militia.

Whether this shaming propels China into recogniz-ing its own humanity, organizing that focuses on theOlympics can be a transforming awakening of theworld's conscience so that at last there can be a realis-tic "One World, One Dream" that never again will thenations of the world, to their own shame, have to say"never again" after the next genocide.

Boycott Olympics?

Other opinionsFrom around the nation

The state Senate mayhave the chance to do some-thing beneficial forCalifornians in the nearfuture. A bill proposed bySen. Carole Migden, D-SanFrancisco, aims to help cou-ples in which the potentialfather is HIV-positive safelyconceive children. As itstands right now, it is illegalfor HIV-positive men todonate sperm. This law wasenacted in 1989 to preventpeople with HIV fromdonating blood, tissue andsperm in an effort to halt thespread of HIV and AIDS. ...

However, since that time,scientists have developed anew method to chemicallyneutralize almost every traceof HIV from sperm cells.The process is called spermwashing, and it has been agodsend to couples with anHIV-positive male who want

to conceive.California is one of the

last two states in the countryto still prohibit HIV-positivemen who have used thisprocess from donatingsperm. It really is the onlysafe way for these couples toconceive a child. If it is doneby any other means, both themother and potential childshare the risk of becominginfected. This cleansingmethod drastically, but notentirely, reduces the risk ofcontracting HIV. ...

The problem now is, evenif the wife consents to theprocedure despite the poten-tial risks, medical profes-sionals are still barred fromcarrying out the insemina-tion because of the law. ...

The bill has already beenamended once and approvedunanimously by the SenateHealth Committee. Because

of the recent amendments,the bill is expected to gobefore the SenateAppropriations Committeebefore it is sent to the Senatefloor for a vote. It has toreach the Senate floor beforeJune 1, which is the last dayfiscal committees meet inthe Senate. If it isn't passedout of the AppropriationsCommittee, it will have towait until the next Senatesession to be considered.

Let's put the power tomake decisions back in thehands of the people thosedecisions will affect.California should fall in linewith the other 48 states thatallow the use of this proce-dure. The desire to procreateshouldn't be hindered bybureaucratic naysaying. Wehave the tools to enrich thesepeople's lives. Let's usethem.

A local business ownersent me some informationabout yet another credit cardscam out there. Shewrites: “This one is prettyslick since they provide youwith all the information,except the one piece theywant. Note, the callers do notask for your card number; theyalready have it. By under-standing how the VISA &MasterCard Telephone CreditCard Scam works, you’ll bebetter prepared to protectyourself. One of our employ-ees was called from “VISA”,and I was called on Thursdayfrom “Master Card.

“The scam works like this:Person calling says, ‘This is(name), and I’m calling fromthe Security and FraudDepartment at VISA. MyBadge number is 12460. Yourcard has been flagged for anunusual purchase pattern, andI’m calling to verify. Thiswould be on your VISA cardwhich was issued by (name ofbank). Did you purchase anAnti-Telemarketing Devicefor $497.99 from a Marketing

company based in Arizona ?’When you say ‘No.’ the callercontinues with, ‘Then we willbe issuing a credit to youraccount. This is a company wehave been watching and thecharges range from $297 to$497, just under the $500 pur-chase pattern that flags mostcards. Before your next state-ment, the credit will be sent to(gives you your address), isthat correct?’

“You say ‘yes.’ The callercontinues -- ‘I will be startinga Fraud investigation. If youhave any questions, youshould call the 1- 800 numberlisted on the back of your card(1-800-VISA) and ask forSecurity. You will need to referto this Control Number.’ Thecaller then gives you a 6 digitnumber. ‘Do you need me toread it again?’

“Here’s the important parton how the scam works. Thecaller then says, ‘I need to ver-ify you are in possession ofyour card.’ He’ll ask you to‘turn your card over and lookfor some numbers.’ There areseven numbers; the first fourare part of your card number,the next three are the securitynumbers that verify you arethe possessor of the card.These are the numbers yousometimes use to makeInternet purchases to proveyou have the card. The callerwill ask you to read the threenumbers to him. After you tellthe caller the three numbers,he’ll say, ‘That is correct, I justneeded to verify that the cardhas not been lost or stolen, andthat you still have your card.Do you have any other ques-tions?’ After you say ‘No,’ thecaller then thanks you andstates, ‘Don’t hesitate to callback if you do,’ and hangs up.

“You actually say very lit-tle, and they never ask for ortell you the card number. Butafter we were called onWednesday, we called backwithin 20 minutes to ask aquestion. Are we glad we did!The real VISA SecurityDepartment told us it was ascam and in the last 15 min-utes a new purchase of$497.99 w as charged to ourcard.

“Long story short, we madea real fraud report and closedthe VISA account. VISA isreissuing us a new number.What the scammers want is the3-digit PIN number on theback of the card. Don’t give itto them. Instead, tell themyou’ll call VISA or Mastercard directly for verification oftheir conversation. The realVISA told us that they willnever ask for anything on thecard as they already know theinformation since they issuedthe card! If you give the scam-mers your 3 Digit PINNumber, you think you’rereceiving a credit. However,by the time you get your state-ment you’ll see charges forpurchases you didn’t make,and by then it’s almost too lateand/or more difficult to actual-ly file a fraud report.

“What makes this moreremarkable is that the verynext day, I got a call from a‘Jason Richardson of MasterCard’ with a word-for-word

repeat of the VISA scam. Thistime I didn’t let him finish. Ihung up! We filed a policereport, as instructed by VISA.The police said they are takingseveral of these reports daily!They also urged us to telleverybody we know that thisscam is happening.”

Representatives of Offense-Defense FootballCamp, the official football camp of the NationalFootball League Coaches Association and thecountry’s oldest and largest full-contact footballcamp, announced today that San Francisco 49errunning back Frank Gore will serve as one ofseveral instructors at the Offense-DefenseFootball Camp, which will be held June 17-21,2007, at St. Mary’s College in Moraga, locatedjust east of San Francisco.

“I’ve always wanted to give somethingback,” said Gore. “I feel Offense-Defense is thebest way to do just that.”

During the five-day camp, junior athletes aredivided into groups based on their age, size,weight and abilities to focus on offense anddefense fundamentals. At the end of the campsession, the athletes are placed into groups tocompete in the Offense-Defense Bowl to show-case their talents. Qualified players then have theopportunity to be invited to Offense-DefenseSelect and Elite Camps for further training.Approximately 80 Offense-Defense All-Americans are selected from the Elite Campseach year to be showcased in the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl, held in Januaryand broadcast on ESPNU.

Offense-Defense is alsothe only football camp that guarantees improve-ment through the course of the camp, which isdue to the involvement of so many

professional athletes and coaches like Frank.We look forward to hosting athletes fromCalifornia in June.”

Blistering winds ofmore than 30 mphchanges anglers plansThe Daily Journal

Sunday was not your typical dayof fishing. Most everyone we talkedto had high hopes early in the morn-ing at Glory Hole Sports in AngelsCamp, but when we got to the lake,that all changed. While the rains fromSaturday were gone, the post frontalnightmare was just starting.

Wind.That’s right, wind. It was blowing

15-20 MPH and by noon it was over30. Needless to say, this wouldchange everyone’s game plan. Forsome it was good, but for most, thesight fishing was gone, and it wasadjustment time.

Making the best adjustment wereSonora’s Steve D’Orsay and RobertVann. These guys started on the mainlake throwing topwater and swim-baits but quick abandoned that gameplan and move way up river to theprotection of the high canyon walls.At this time, with the very Kool

Call it collateral damage.The Sharks' power play has failed

to dent the scoresheet for much thisopening-round series, but it couldend up depleting the NashvillePredators' gas tank if they keep pilingup the chances.

Despite an 0-for-6 performance,the Sharks won Game 3 to grab a 2-1lead in the series.

“That's a lot of wear and tear on afew guys who kill the penalties,”Predators center Peter Forsberg said.

For the series, which continueswith Game 4 tonight, the Sharks are1 for 18, a startling contrast to theirregular-season clip of 22.4 percentthat ranked second in the NHL.

Have the Sharks been that badagainst the Predators? Are the num-bers skewed? Is three games a legiti-mate sample size?

It's all a matter of perspective.Consider: The Sharks have scored

two goals that were practically on thepower play. Matt Carle's conversionin Game 1 came just three secondsafter the penalty expired. RyaneClowe's goal in Game 3 was effec-tively a five-on-four situationbecause Paul Kariya, who had exitedthe penalty box, was still in the neu-tral zone.

They added another -- CraigRivet's goal in Game 2 -- that cameon a delayed penalty to Forsberg.

Rivet also has the Sharks' loneofficial conversion, which came dur-ing a two-man advantage in Game 1.

But the Sharks botched extendedfive-on-three power plays in Games2 and 3, which magnifies their strug-gles.

So did surrendering a short-hand-ed goal to J.P. Dumont in Game 2.

The Sharks looked sharper on thepower play as Game 3 progressed. Inthe first period, poor puck retrieval

prevented them for even set-ting up to deploy the wrinklesthey had worked on duringSunday's practice. Then in thesecond, they started gainingpossession to run their newplays.

“There were some differentlooks just to freshen it up,”Sharks Coach Ron Wilsonsaid. “We might go back to theold looks, and things mightstart to work because wewanted some people to startthinking again. You don't goout there on cruise control andautomatically expect goodthings to happen. We had ourguys thinking and askingquestions. That's all I wantedto do, provide a little spark forit.”

Joe Thornton, the triggerman for the power play, likedthe alternate looks, some ofwhich moved him away from

his customary spot along theright halfboards.

“Just to mix it up, to givethem something else to thinkabout, it's going to help uscash in,” Thornton said.“We've been working it allright, getting a little better. It'sgoing to come.”

With the benefit of thosesix power plays, the Sharksoutshot Nashville 41-20. ThePredators decided to regroupTuesday by not practicing. Asa team that thrives on itsspeed, Nashville has opted atvarious times this season tostay off the ice to save theirlegs for the game.

The Sharks conducted afull-team practice, but it lastedonly half as long as most reg-ular-season sessions.

“Is it important to practicethis time of year? I don't eventhink it is,” Wilson said. “Thecoach's job is to read his teamand give days off when it'smerited. I want our players tounderstand there's a lot ofwork ahead of us. Going onthe ice is still very important,because last night was a work-manlike win, but it's not goingto be any easier tomorrow. It'sgoing to be twice as difficult.They're going to make adjust-ments, and we have to beready to counter any adjust-ments they make.”

Nashville will probablydevote some time to considerits own power-play options.They had just two power playsin Game 3 and are 1 for 15 inthe series. Like the Sharks,their only conversion was dur-ing a five-on-three situation.

Besides Quinn, the Raidersalready have met with LSUquarterback JaMarcusRussell, Georgia Tech widereceiver Calvin Johnson and ahost of others in recent days.

It is widely believed thatthe Raiders will selectRussell, Quinn or Johnson if

that the Raiders also havefielded numerous trade offersfrom teams interested in mov-ing up to the top spot.

The Raiders have not draft-ed No. 1 overall in the fran-chise's 48-year history.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Jay Marshall delivers against the New YorkYankees in the eighth inning of their game Sunday in Oakland. Marshallpicked up his first Major League victory in the A's 5-4 win.

By JOE STIGLICHContra Costa Times

Jay Marshall remembers being a wide-eyed youngster traveling with his family totour major league ballparks across theUnited States.

Each summer they would target a coupleof cities and scratch some more stadiums offtheir list. This went on from the time he was

little until he was in high school."Every season, when I was on vacation it

was baseball," Marshall said.Now the A's rookie left-hander is getting

a second chance to visit some of thosevenues, albeit from a different vantagepoint. Marshall, 24, earned a spot in thebullpen with a standout spring camp. Over

SPOOK byte gone, they con-verted to the old standby,shaking dart heads and pitch-ing Senkos.

The rest was about minoradjustments and relying onold knowledge of the lake. Inthe end, it all paid off, as theguys came in with a 5 fishlimit of 18.01 pounds and avictory smile worth $6000.

Like everyone else, theywere beat up by the heavywave all day, but it seamed tosting a little less than most.Congratulations to Steve andRobert on what we consider acourageous day.

Finishing in second placewere long time teammates JeffFrey of Riverbank and JasonRemmers of Valley Springs.The two did not have a kickerfish and still managed a verynice bag of 5, turning in at16.96 pounds.

Jeff told of a long day,changing up many times tofigure out a good pattern.They used a Carolina RiggedKeeper Worm or a HomemadeJig in the shallows, but any-time they needed to go intothe wind, they switched toDD22 Deep Diving BillNorman Crankbaits.

He also stated they ran tothe South end of the lake and

with the wind, decided to staythere all day and not get beatup.

The decision turned out tobe a good one, as it broughtthem a pair of nice plaquesand a check in the amount of$2580.

Third place went to thereigning Anglers of the Yearfrom Angels Camp, KyleRasmussen and Jody Menzes.Coming off a win at anotherevent on Saturday, these guysare always tuff and seam tomake the good decisions dur-ing crunch time. Today wasdefinitely a good decision,with five fish totaling 16.83pounds that included the 4thbiggest fish of the day, a 5.34pound spotted bass.

Carolina Rigged BrushHogs and Split Shoting RoboWorms were the key to suc-

cess. They also thanked gloryHole Sports for the support oftheir efforts as a major sourcefor bring tournament to theMother Lode. Along with apair of nice trophies they tookhome $1695.

Forth place went to Fatherand Son LG and TobeyGuenthart with 16.41 poundand included a 6.56 Lb kicker.

These favorites fromCathey’s Valley took home$1455. Rounding out the topfive were another family teamwith Dad Troy Wells Sr. fish-ing with son Todd. Theyreceived $830 for a hard dayswork.

Melones The conditions while fishing forced anglers tomake minor adjustments and rely on oldknowledge of the lake.

the first two weeks of the reg-ular season, he's handled someincreasingly difficult pressuresituations with surprisingease. He notched his firstmajor league victory Sunday,tossing 1 ? scoreless inningsas the A's came back to beatthe New York Yankees 5-4.He's made eight appearancesso far, allowing a run in justone of them. Marshall is 7-for-7 in retiring the first batter hefaces.

His sidearm delivery is adrastic switch from whatmajor league hitters are used

to seeing, particularly from alefty. Marshall's chances ofmaking the A's 25-man rosterout of spring training seemedjust as unlikely.

The A's selected him in theRule 5 draft from the ChicagoWhite Sox organization,meaning he had to makeOakland's big league roster orbe offered back to the Sox.Marshall had never pitchedhigher than Single-A, andthere was a crowded list ofleft-handed bullpen candi-dates in A's camp he had todistinguish himself from.

"We've brought Rule 5guys over before, and youknew right away in springtraining they were intimidatedby their surroundings," A's

assistant general managerDavid Forst said.

"Jay, from the minute hegot to Phoenix, you knew hewas (mature enough). But inthe back of your mind youwonder if that changes in frontof 35,000 people, and it has-n't."

A's manager Bob Geren letMarshall ease his toes into themajor league waters, insertinghim in low-pressure situationsto begin with. The Yankeesseries was a true baptism byfire. He retired New York inorder in his one inning Friday,striking out Derek Jeter look-ing and Bobby Abreu swing-ing to keep the A's within onerun. On Saturday, he enteredin the seventh with a runner

on second and got JohnnyDamon to ground out to keepthe game tied. Then came hisfirst big league win Sunday.

"He's answered every littletest we've put before him,"Geren said.

Marshall hardly fills up anotebook during an interview,but he's just as soft-spokenand humble around his team-mates as he is with the media."I tell you what, the way yousee him is the way he is,"reliever Jay Witasick said."He might be a rock star athome or something, but hereat the field, he's quiet, he'srespectful. He's a pleasure tobe around."

Marshall's locker atMcAfee Coliseum is right

next to fellow rookie TravisBuck, but Marshall saidthere's been little hazing so farfrom the veterans.

"Nothing too serious yet,it's probably on its way," hesaid.

He's soaking up his firstseason in the big leagues.Marshall grew up in the St.Louis area and rooted for theCardinals. But he also was ahuge Mo Vaughn fan, which iswhy Fenway Park was one ofhis favorite stadiums amonghis family vacations.

He also visited AngelsStadium in Anaheim, whichconjured up memories whenthe A's stopped there on theirfirst road trip this season.

"I was sitting in the bleach-

ers behind the bullpen when Iwas a sophomore in highschool," Marshall said."(Now) I'm in thebullpen."NOTES: Right-han-der Rich Harden underwent anMRI on his right shoulderMonday, and results areexpected today. Harden leftSunday's game with tightnessin the shoulder. … First base-man Dan Johnson, recoveringfrom a torn labrum in his lefthip, hit a homer Monday in anextended spring traininggame. Johnson is expected toremain in Phoenix for the restof the week, and get re-evalu-ated over the weekend to seeif he's ready to begin a minorleague rehab assignment nextweek, Forst said.

The Sharks are ready toshake and bake.

After each playoff victory,Coach Ron Wilson chooses astar of the game, whosereward is a Wonder Bread cap,in honor of Ricky Bobby from“Talladega Nights.”

Patrick Rissmiller earnedthe inaugural crowning for hisgoal in double overtime ofGame 1. Ryane Clowereceived the honors Mondayfor the winning goal and over-all solid performance in Game3.

“We're just a big hairy win-ning machine, that's what weare,” Clowe joked.

There is only one hat thatwill be passed around, accord-ing to Wilson's postgame des-ignation.

“Hopefully, I'll play well soI don't have to give it up,”Clowe said.

Wilson, who often citesmemorable lines from thefilm, hopes it will help keephis team loose.

“It's just something to havefun with, that's all,” Wilsonsaid. “You try to have fun. Youdon't want your players to for-get that they're still playing akids game at the end of it all.”

-- Nashville should receivea boost tonight with the returnof rookie Alexander Radulov,who served his one-game sus-pension Monday for hittingSteve Bernier from behind.

But forward Martin Erat isquestionable after leavingmidway through Game 3. Eratmissed the final 11 regular-season games because of aninjured right leg, and MikeGrier's hit on him might haveaggravated it.

Predators Coach BarryTrotz said he would likely callup Pat Leahy or Ramzi Abid

from the Predators' farm teamin Milwaukee if a replacementfor Erat is needed.

Radulov hurt the Sharks forthree goals and an assistbefore his ejection early in thesecond period of Game 2. ButWilson said the Sharks need tofocus on their game and avoidobsessing on particular play-ers, even if they are dangerousoffensive threats such asRadulov and Peter Forsberg.

“You have to be aware ofwho's on the ice,” Wilson said.“Our players know that, andyou play your game. You don'tturn pucks over. Youbackcheck hard. But we don'tneed to hide anybody in ourlineup. I had all of our linesplay against Forsberg and all

of our lines play against PaulKariya.

“That's how we've coachedthem. They don't look up andgo, `Do I have to come off theice now?' you have a job to do,go do it. Doesn't matter who'sfacing off against you.”

Darcy Hordichuk took

Radulov's lineup spot in Game3 but logged just four shifts,all in the first period.

-- Another statistic thatunderscored how effective theSharks were in dictating playMonday: Just seven of the 60faceoffs in Game 3 were in theoffensive zone for Nashville.

-- The Sharks will have amoment of silence before thegame tonight in honor of for-mer center Gaetan Duchesne,who died of an apparent heartattack Monday. Duchesne,who played 14 seasons in theNHL including two with theSharks, was 44.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2007 – 9

Dear Annie: My husband of nine years hasa brother, “Daniel,” whom I have never beencomfortable with, but have tolerated. My hus-band’s sister will not allow Daniel in her home,and another brother will not even speak to him.

Daniel lives several hours away and recent-ly invited himself to visit for the weekend. Hebrought his new girlfriend, whom we did notinvite or want to stay with us. He also broughthis two daughters, ages 13 and 3, and left themunsupervised while he slept on the couch orstood outside and smoked. And he expected meto do his laundry.

The worst part is Daniel’s foul mouth.Despite reminding him to keep it PG in front ofour children, Daniel and his girlfriend con-stantly talked about sex. He made disgustinginnuendos out of everything. On the third day,Daniel swore at my children because they acci-dentally woke him from his nap. That was thelast straw. I told my husband I wanted Danielout. He left, but refused to speak to me or even

wave goodbye. What really upsets me is thatthe very next day, my husband talked to Danielas if nothing had happened.

I don’t want Daniel in my home again.Furthermore, I don’t want my husband speak-ing to him because it seems disrespectful tome. My husband disagrees. Do I have an oblig-ation to allow Daniel into my home? Am Iwrong to think my husband is betraying us byallowing such behavior without any repercus-sions? This is causing quite a rift. -- Lisa fromCalifornia

Dear Lisa: Daniel sounds like a creep. Youdo not have to have him in your home, nor doyou have to see him (those are the repercus-

sions), but please don’t tell your husband to cutoff contact with his brother. That is not yourdecision to make, and your husband will resentyou if you demand it. He can see Daniel on hisown.

Dear Annie: I’ve been dating “George” forfour years, and I love him dearly. His family isvery kind, but they have a couple of habits Ifind inappropriate.

The first is snorting. When their noses arestuffed, which seems to be a good deal of thetime, they snort constantly. When we’re at arestaurant, I’m embarrassed and more than alittle grossed out. They also pick their teeth inpublic with those little plastic flossers.

George used to snort, too, but I finally toldhim it is rude, and he has, for the most part,quit. Is snorting medically required for somepeople? Is snorting and tooth picking consid-ered rude, as my mother always taught me? Isthere a way to kindly tell these people to knockit off? -- Nauseated

Dear Nauseated: Um, no. You can askGeorge to suggest to his parents that they see adoctor about their sinus congestion (it could be

allergies), and to pick their teeth in private, butotherwise, all you can do is decide if you wantto be seen in public with them. Sorry.

Dear Annie: I just moved to a new area, andevery time I call to refill my prescription med-ications, I am required to come in for anotheroffice visit.

I have been taking the same two medica-tions for years, and they do not require con-stant supervision. This leads me to concludethat the doctors in this area are only after thewhopping $166 office visit fee.

I am angry that I need to take time off workto see a doctor once a month, just for her towhiz in, ask two questions and then authorizemy refills. Do doctors not make enough thatthey have to run a scam like this? -- V.

Dear V.: Doctors often want to see patients,especially new ones, to make sure the medica-tions are working, that they are being takenproperly and that there are no new side effectsafter longtime use. However, there is nothingwrong with asking your doctor if she can pre-scribe more pills at a time so you don’t have tocome in as often.

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.

orologist Jeff Tonkin. Normalrainfall for this area at thispoint in the rainfall season is36.68 inches, he said.

There is no rain in today’sforecast, according to Tonkin,who noted however, thatanother spring storm isexpected to arrive Thursday,

followed by another onSaturday -- though neither oneis likely to bring much rainwith it.

The forecast calls for up toa quarter inch of rainfall onThursday, a break in the rainon Friday, and then up to threequarters of an inch of rain onSaturday.

After that, expect to seeanother dry period, Tonkinsaid.

the job,” she said.In her time on the cam-

paign trail, Lintott defeatedthe late incumbent DistrictAttorney Norman Vroman ina primary race and AssistantDistrict Attorney KeithFaulder in the recent specialelection.

She said she had not spo-ken with Faulder and did notknow whether he would bestaying with the DistrictAttorney’s Office.

Lintott said she would becommitted to maintaining the“open door” policy at theDistrict Attorney’s Office andis renting an apartment inUkiah to live in during thework week.

“We’ve already startedmoving in,” she said.

Lintott said she sees therole of the district attorneychiefly as an administratorand not a trial attorney.

“We’ve got three offices torun,” she said. “You can’talways be involved in a three-month case that takes up allyour time.”

Throughout her campaign,Lintott said as DA she wouldincrease the cooperationbetween the DistrictAttorney’s Office and othercity and county agencies.

She said she plans to workwith Child ProtectiveServices, Adult ProtectiveServices, The MendocinoCounty Public HealthDepartment, Fish and Gameand county law enforcementto strengthen cases brought tothe DA’s Office.

Lintott said instances ofchild abuse, elder abuse,spousal abuse and sexualassault have all gone under-prosecuted in the county andthat many cases brought bythe District Attorney’s Officehave been rejected.

“We will work with thoseagencies to make the cases asstrong as we can,” she said.

The office will also workwith rehabilitative organiza-tions to help perpetrators ofabuse and domestic violencedeal with the issues behind thecrimes, Lintott said

“The only thing they’veever learned, from childhood,is violence,” she said. “Theydon’t have other copingskills.”

Lintott said she would alsolike to build on the successesof Drug Court and rehabilita-tive programs to help addictsget off drugs.

Those who supply drugs,big-time methamphetaminedealers and those who growthe massive outdoor illegalmarijuana gardens for whichMendocino County hasbecome infamous, would facestiff prosecution, Lintott said.

The same would go foradult gang members whocome into Mendocino Countyto recruit the local youth.

“They need to go toprison,” she said. “They needto be out of our community.”

Lintott said she would alsocombat gang violence byworking with communitygroups and others who are try-ing to steer young childrenaway from gangs. She saidshe would encourage theoffice to “listen to what peo-ple who have made them-selves experts on the topichave to say.”

While commercial drugoffenders will face stiff prose-cution, Lintott said legitimatemedical marijuana users whoare acting in compliance withthe law will not face prosecu-tion.

“Medical marijuana grow-ers and suppliers will not beprosecuted,” she said.

Direct filing of adultcharges against juveniles incertain cases became a hottopic late in the campaignafter the occurrence of twoseparate shootings on thecoast, allegedly committed byjuveniles. One person waskilled in those shootings.

Lintott said the rehabilita-tion of juveniles would be her“first priority” for those juve-niles she felt could be saved.

“I won’t rule out directfiles,” she said. “I think it’s atool that has been given toprosecutors in egregiouscases.”

At the swearing in ceremo-ny on Tuesday, ElizabethNorman was thanked for herservice as interim districtattorney. Norman took overthe job from Faulder inJanuary. Faulder was appoint-ed interim DA after Vromandied, but his term expired inJanuary.

“This is a very exciting, butunusual time for MendocinoCounty, but it holds greatpromise,” said 2nd DistrictSupervisor Jim Wattenburger.“The next several years a lotof things are going to takeplace. A lot of new players areinvolved, and I look forwardto the promise of the futureand where we go from here.Thank you to Beth and toMeredith and their willing-ness to serve.”

large grows that do not com-ply with Prop. 215, the state’sprovision for medical mari-juana, as well as allow for theinvestigation of marijuana onForest Service land and tim-berland.

The application for thegrant, which the county hasreceived for the past severalyears, states that “the ruralnature of Mendocino County,along with large tracts of cor-porate forestlands and remotepublic lands, along with thesoil conditions makes theseareas of the county primemarijuana cultivation lands.”

“I’m not going to takemedical marijuana away fromlegitimate patients,” Allmansaid, adding that he was will-ing to take responsibility forensuring parameters would beput on COMMET.

“I would ask that you allowthe Sheriff’s Office to acceptthis money this year, and nextyear, if I haven’t followedthrough with my obligation tosupport medical marijuana,then at that time, look at me in

the eyes and say you can’tgive the support to a COM-MET grant,” Allman said.

Dane Wilkins, executivedirector of the NorthernCalifornia division of theNational Organization for theReform of Marijuana Laws,said he was supportive ofAllman and willing to workwith him on the issue.

A small board --Supervisors David Colfax andMichael Delbar were absentby pre-arrangement -- unani-mously approved the submis-sion of the grant application.

Pinches, who had opposedsimilar applications in thepast, said he was supportive ofCOMMET, because in hisview, until marijuana can belegalized, taxed and regulated,problems related to marijuanacultivation and its sale willpersist.

Supervisor Jim Watten-burger agreed, adding that “ifwe want all hell to break loosein this county, take away localcontrol and allow the feds torun rampant here,” a possibleoutcome Allman said couldresult from local officials notenforcing the law.

“The most frequent causeof botulism in infants is fromhoney and soil; in fact, infantbotulism is rare,” said Dr.Marvin Trotter, of theMendocino County Public

Those who have the speci-fied jars of baby food in theirhomes are advised to destroythem immediately, accordingto Public Health.

Associated PressSAN FRANCISCO — A

flood of last-minute tax filersswamped the servers of thecompany that makes the pop-ular TurboTax and ProSeriestax software Tuesday, forcingtaxpayers to wait hours forconfirmation that their elec-tronic returns had been sub-mitted successfully.

A record number of returnsfrom both individual taxpay-ers and accountants startedcausing delays in Intuit Inc.’se-filing system early Tuesday,and the problem got worse asthe midnight deadline for get-

ting forms to the InternalRevenue Service approached,said Harry Pforzheimer, acompany spokesman.

“The amount of filing thathas been done today has beenabsolutely amazing, and weare doing everything we pos-sibly can to expand capabili-ties of servers,” Pforzheimersaid. During times of peakdemand, Intuit was processing50 to 60 returns per second, hesaid.

The Mountain View-basedcompany contacted the IRS toalert the agency to the back-log, Pforzheimer said.
