Today begins a longholiday weekend cele-brated by all Americans,mostly with picnics andBBQs, gatherings of fam-ily and friends and some-times, fireworks.

This weekend will beall work, however, for thefirefighters from bothhere and around the statewho find themselves inMendocino County.

“Normally I’m in LAeither at the local fire sta-tion or enjoying a barbe-cue at the beach with myfamily, if I can,” saidCapt. Mark Whaling ofthe Los Angeles CountyFire Department, who hasbeen posted in NorthernCalifornia since June 23,first in Humboldt Countyand now here.

Whaling said it wasrare to have big wildlandfires like the ones burn-ing throughout Mendo-cino County this early inthe summer season. But,he said, firefighters knewas soon as they heardabout the lightning spark-

ing more than 100 fires inMendocino Countyalone, that it would be along haul.

And, he points out thatNorthern California fire-fighters have alwaysrushed south when winddriven fires get going in

Southern California.“Now it’s our turn to

help them,” he said.Reflecting on the July

4 holiday, Whaling saidmore than anything else itreminds him of the free-dom Americans have tobe different. And yet we

share a love of country.“When we put on a

uniform,” he said of fire-fighters, “we have a dutyand service to perform.But behind that uniformis an American” with var-

ied political views, religionsand outlooks on life.

“We debate and disagree”just like all Americans do,“but when the bell goes off,we’re just firefighters.”

There are no special plansafoot to denote a holiday inthe routine among the hun-dreds of firefighters trying toget and keep control of thefires still burning here. Mostlythese firefighters are used toworking on July 4.

Engineer Joseph Palagyi,of Howard Forest Station nearWillits, says this year’s Fourthwill be easy to remember.

“It’s a fire season unlikeany I’ve seen,” he said.

The Fourth is a day, hethinks, for all Americans tocount their blessings.

“Americans like to com-plain about things, but we’repretty lucky to live where wedo,” he said,

Cal Fire seasonal firefight-er Stephanie Kraft from Ukiahsays she’s spent the past threeJuly 4 holidays on duty, butadded that in 2006 and 2007she was covering the coastand got to see the fireworksshows there.

Dana Davis, a seasonal CalFire firefighter from Covelo,thinks of the people who serve

our country in the military onthe Fourth.

“We’re doing what wecan,” she said of her job.

Tucker Mattern, anotherseasonal Cal Fire firefighter,is usually at Blue Lakes cele-brating the Fourth, but not thisyear.

“This year will be good,’cause I’ll make somemoney,” he said with a grin.

Chase McPhaul is a fire-fighter stationed at theHopland Cal Fire station this

season and this is his firstFourth on the fire line. For thelast two years he was having agood time in Lake Tahoe onthe Fourth.

This year’s holiday he sayshe’ll have no trouble remem-bering.

“I’ll remember thatMendocino County was burn-ing.”

FUNERAL NOTICES[\

MARY NICOLAIMary Nicolai died in her

Ukiah home on July 2, 2008, at the age ofeighty-four. She was born Mary EvelynLankford in Henry County, Tennessee on March 8,1924, the second of

four children of Haynesand Thera Lankford. She worked at Ft.Campbell, Kentucky during World War II and later forNational Life and Accident Insurance Co. inNashville. Her sense of independence andadventure led her to the Bay Area in 1947.In San Francisco she rented a flat aroundthe corner from Nico-lai’s Market on Post Street.There she bought groceries and met DinoNicolai, whom she married in 1950.

Mary is survived by herdaughter and son-in-law, Marsha and ElliotLittle of Ukiah; her son David of Oakland; her twograndchildren, Keven andEmily Little. She lost herbeloved husband Dino lastNovember.

Mary was a woman ofgreat intelligence and spirit who did so manythings in life well! Few women have relished beinga wife, mother, grandmother and home-maker more than she did, and Mary served fami-ly and friends many wonderful meals, includingher fabulous des-serts, over the years. Shewas an outstand-ing seamstress, and manyof the dresses she sewed for herself, Marsha,and Emily, and shirts she sewed for Dino,David, and Elliot, are still treasured by thefamily. In her later years she devoted herself toquilting, and her beautiful quilts adorn thehomes of many fam-ily members.

Mary loved her adopted

state of California from the moment shearrived in 1947, and the years spent raising heryoung family in the Bay Area were surely thehappiest of her life.She always spoke highly ofUkiah as a won-derful community to spendher last years.She will be greatly missedby her many rela-tives and friends in Ukiah,the Bay Area, Ten-nessee, and elsewhere.

There will be an openhouse to celebrate Mary’s life from 11 to 2 onSunday, July 6th, at her home on 40 BlancoPlace in Lake Men-docino Estates. Please call463-8336 with any questions. Donationsmay be sent to Hospice of Ukiah, P.O. Box763, Ukiah.

Freedom

By K.C. MEADOWSThe Daily Journal

If it were up to LA CountyFire Capt. Mark Whaling,there would be no fireworkson July 4th in California.

“We have hotter, drier sum-mers; we need to rethink (afireworks) celebration thistime of year,” he said.

Whaling is based at theRedwood Empire Fairgroundsin Ukiah as part of the fire-fighting effort battling blazesthroughout MendocinoCounty.

Whaling said that whilefireworks are a long-held tra-dition, there are some placesin the nation - like California -where they simply do not

make sense.“The fireworks would be in

January if I had my wish,” hesaid.

No matter how hard peopletry to make fireworks safe,Whaling said, “fires are goingto be started, people are goingto get hurt, property is goingto get damaged.

“A really progressive com-munity would say, ‘We’re notgoing to do fireworks now,’”he said.

There’s no simple solutionto banning fireworks wherefire danger is critical, Whalingsaid, but he’s still looking forthat first brave communityleader who will stand up andsay, “Let’s not.”

Obama blames McCain camp for sayinghe would alter troop timetable

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Democrat Barack Obama says he’salways been open to refining his Iraq policy but blamedRepublican John McCain’s campaign for suggesting “we werechanging our policy when we haven’t.”

The Illinois senator called a second news conference of theday Thursday to address the GOP criticism of him and resultingquestions about where he stands on Iraq.

He said what he learns from military commanders on hisupcoming trip to Iraq will refine his policy but “not the 16-month timetable” for withdrawing U.S. troops from combat inIraq. He said what he learns could affect how many residualtroops might be needed to train the Iraqi army and police.

Pentagon extends tour of 2,200 Marinesin Afghanistan after saying it wouldn’t

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon has extended thetour of 2,200 Marines in Afghanistan, after insisting for monthsthe unit would come home on time. The 24th MarineExpeditionary Unit, which is doing combat operations in thevolatile south, will stay an extra 30 days and come home inearly November rather than October, Marine Col. David Lapanconfirmed Thursday.

Military leaders as recently as Wednesday stressed the needfor additional troops in Afghanistan. Adm. Mike Mullen, chair-man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has often praised the work ofthe 24th MEU in fighting Taliban militants in HelmandProvince.

State Dept. report suggests passportsnooping more widespread than thought

WASHINGTON (AP) — An internal State Departmentinvestigative report suggests that employees may have beensnooping on the passport records of celebrities far more thanpreviously disclosed. It urges new steps to secure the files.

A report from the department’s inspector general releasedThursday said a survey of the records of 150 notable politi-cians, athletes and entertainers found that 127 of them, or 85percent, had been accessed 4,148 times between September2002 and March 2008. Of the 150 files, nine had been viewedmore than 101 times, according to the report. Thirty-three oth-ers had been viewed more than 26 times, and 85 files had beenlooked at at least once, it said.

The report did not say if the files had been viewed for legit-imate reasons, but it noted that the number “appears to beexcessive.”

A-4 – FRIDAY, JULY 4, 2008

The Ukiah Daily Journal

From the desk of ...

The impatient patriots here had splendidly shortfuses in 1775. Those who tilled the startlingly red clayor who lived in the town named for George III’s wifeCharlotte might have been bemused had they foreseenthe annual hoopla that commemorates July 4, 1776.

What occurred that day in Philadelphia might havebeen a Declaration of Independence, but the first suchwas enacted here on May 20, 1775. Presbyterians,meaning most Mecklenburgers, were incensed byAnglican meddling from London, such as the Vestryand Marriage Acts of 1769, which imposed fines onPresbyterian ministers who conducted marriage cere-monies. Marriage as a political issue is not just a recentphenomenon.

On May 19, 1775, the day before the Mecklenburgconvention met to act on such grievances, a riderarrived with news from Massachusetts about the Aprilbloodshed at Lexington and Concord. The next day,Mecklenburg’s convention declared:

“We the citizens of Mecklenburg County do herebydissolve the political bands which have connected usto the mother country. ... We do hereby declare our-selves a free and independent people ... to the mainte-nance of which independence, we solemnly pledge toeach other our mutual cooperation, our lives, our for-tunes, and our most sacred honor.”

Thus did a settlement on the fringe of the BritishEmpire declare war on that empire. It used language -- note, especially, the last nine words -- that is echoedin the 1776 declaration, for reasons explained in a newbook, “The 4th of July and the Founding of America,”by Peter de Bolla of King’s College, Cambridge. He isfascinated by Americans’ fascination with the fact,such as it is, that their country had, as few nations canclaim, an “originative moment.” But what, and when,was it?

The Declaration of Independence was not signedthat day by the 56 persons whose signatures wouldeventually adorn it. Perhaps no one signed it that day;the evidence is murky. Still, uncountable millionsbelieve otherwise because they have seen JohnTrumbull’s painting, in the U.S. Capitol’s rotunda,depicting Thomas Jefferson, at the center of six col-leagues, holding “his” Declaration on July 4, as thoughfor signing.

What Congress actually did that day was agree toprint and publish the Declaration authorized two daysearlier. So, was July 2 what de Bolla calls the “punctu-al moment”? John Adams thought that day “will be themost memorable Epocha, in the History of America.”

What was voted on July 2 was, however, reallydecided on July 1. But on June 28, Congress consid-ered Jefferson’s draft of the Declaration, so was the diethen cast? Or was it cast on June 10, when Congressvoted that “a committee be appointed to prepare a dec-laration”? The Declaration was first actually declared -- read aloud to a crowd (at the State House, nowIndependence Hall) -- on July 8.

De Bolla says that unlike certain events, such as anearthquake or the beheading of a monarch, the birth ofa nation has “a different kind of temporality,” one con-structed as a tradition. This is true even of the UnitedStates, which did not, like Germany and France,emerge over millennia from history’s mists.

Fifty years later, less than two months before his(and John Adams’) death on July 4, 1826, Jeffersonwas determinedly protective of his reputation as (hedirected his tombstone to declare this) “author” of theDeclaration. Still, he candidly acknowledged that it“was intended to be an expression of the Americanmind,” not “aiming at originality of principle or senti-ment.” Hence, “all its authority rests then on the har-monizing sentiments of the day.”

Certain politically charged rhetorical tropes werethen society’s common property. Writing shortlybefore his death, Jefferson affirmed his belief that “themass of mankind has not been born with saddles ontheir backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred,ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God.”Those words were as stirring then as they had beenwhen one of Oliver Cromwell’s soldiers declared fromthe scaffold, “I never could believe that Providencehad sent a few men into the world, ready booted andspurred to ride, and millions ready saddled and bridledto be ridden.”

What de Bolla calls “the intricate history of thenation’s founding document” does not and should notinhibit Americans from asserting the truth that theirnation originated on July 4, 1776. They hold that to bea self-evident truth, which means they have decided tobelieve it, thereby making it a self-validating tradition.So there.

A mural on us allTo the Editor:I’m looking at the new mural on the side

of the Eagle Peak School now that the bluetarp is off. The tarp held on despite thelines that ran through it and the pulling onthe lines by gardener Bill Harrar and thetearing of the tarp, but finally the blue tarpgave way and its falling and freeing of themural was like something the night woulddo or the day, unveiling the Earth.

Cheryl Evans and her art students out atEagle Peak and other students and fifteenother people, parents and administratorsshe had to thank, were responsible for themural on the wall that faced North, towardthe peak, toward the eagle. But the muralmade us feel like we were all a littleresponsible, had a little something to dowith it.

The mural is like a mirror on the part ofus that knows things about the earth andit’s people, and what this world’s coming toand where we came from. There’s a lot ofblue in it and there’s orange and yellowand white and purples, and so many shadesof green, even before you look off to theright where Cheryl and the kids painted inthe redwood trees.

If you look close -- I swear I lookedbehind one of the redwoods -- you can seea Pomo family in amongst the trees, thefather dancing. If you look straight over tothe left just a bit, you’ll see Alice Walkersitting, and a stream flowing up the paint-ing toward no other place but SanFrancisco, on up into outer space under asky full of angels and constellations madeup of some of our best risen, earthly spirits.

I couldn’t take it all in, though I thoughtI did. It took just everyone in the crowdlooking at that mural to point out some-thing I missed and hadn’t seen and would-n’t of seen in ten days if someone hadn’t ofseen it right off. That’s what I mean aboutthat mural on the north Eagle Peak Schoolwall being a mirror.

It let’s you see everything you see andeverything you miss. Everything you thinkyou just might see some day coming if wedon’t take care, and some things you mightnever see again.

On the way home the sunlight was com-ing in at that angle of summer light thatmakes candles of everything it strikes. Iturned on the radio, and as if an as-yet-unrisen soul needed it any better, they start-ed playing Requiem for the Living byBach, with those words in that section say-ing “how lovely is thy dwelling place,” andhow “blessed are they that dwell...”

There’s more mirrors than in our houses.Bach wrote one there. And Cheryl Evansand some kids painted us one on a northfacing, Redwood Valley wall, reflecting forus quite accurately how lovely is ourdwelling place, and how blessed are wethat dwell.

Running on fumes not the answer

To the Editor:The price of gas is very bad, but it is not

worth putting ourselves in danger. Justbeing on the highway nowadays is badenough, but don’t make it worse.

Most cars have brakes and steeringwhich is powered by the engine. If yourengine stops, you lose your brakes andyour power steering, and the car can’t becontrolled. It can be very serious and also

very bad for all involved. If you are on thefreeway, you can’t get off. If you have kidsor older people with you, then you aregoing to need help.

A car gets so much mileage for a gallonof fuel. This does not change if you tank isempty or full. To run on fumes like somepeople do is asking for trouble. If you keepyour car half full, it will take the sameamount of gas at the end of the week,whether you buy one gallon at a time orten.

If you should have a reason come upthat you did not expect you will be pre-pared and you will not cause an accidenton the highway, I think this is good insur-ance, and the price is the same if you buyone gallon or ten. The life you save may beyours.

Jim DonaghyRedwood Valley

TWK is rightTo the Editor:These are not the ravings of a maniacal

frustrated lunatic. He makes extravagantsense in his editorial on a recent Sunday“There Will be Blood Oranges.” Let’s look

at this. Other towns have been revived withbig grant money from out of state develop-ers, no doubt. We have no bars here inUkiah anymore, our pawn shop is gone, wehave no seedy hotels any more. We haveno lunch counters and no barbershopseither. I loved the good old days just likehe does, with fixit shops, etc. Who needscell phone stores and Subways for food,stupid art and wine and cheese. Who needsit? That is what Ukiah will become. Wewill be forced to see arugula in stores, oneof Obama’s favorites. We’ll have to havemore Wal-Marts and Costcos and cheappickles and cheap big screen TVs. Thatwould really be too bad. We are stuck.There is no way out. What a drag. We aredoomed and we have no choice. It is justwhat those progressive radicals want, too.We will be just like everybody else in theworld. No individuality. And we will bemiserable. Tommy is right. We have nocontrol over our town and how we look atit. Our town is awful. Consult yourastrologer. The fault dear Brutus, lies not inourselves, but in the stars. Look to theheavens. That is where the answers lie.

When your job prospects are buried...

Do the challenges andcurveballs on this big ol’goofy world sometimes seemjust a bit overdone? Do wereally, for example, need adrought and a huge latefreeze and a historic plagueof fire and bad air -- all withnearly half the year yet tocome?

If you need examples ofthe relentless way nature canpick apart our best inten-tioned plans, ask a farmer.They get to deal with it all,often. Thanks to things likeweather and bugs, farming isa profession in which doingeverything perfectly is oftennot good enough. Yet,regardless of what they mayendure, we expect farmers tohave food ready for us whenwe need it.

For small scale farmerscommitted to bringing youheirloom and/or seasonal andfresh food the challenges areyet greater. It is customerswho get most of the benefit.

As discussed here before,foods tend to have the highestnutrient content when fresh,along with the best aroma,taste, texture and look. Touse the vernacular, fresh foodrocks. (Think of fresh as lessdecomposed.)

Farmer’s markets providethe freshest possible food.But, by leaving those berriesor tomatoes on the vine untilthey are ripe the farmer takesa substantial risk.

If the weather turns bad, ifcustomers decide that it ismore convenient to shop else-where or to stay away for anyother reason, local smallfarmers have little chance ofmaking up the loss. Unlikelarger farmers growing lesshealthy product, they alsodon’t get subsidies to helpthem through natural or mar-ket fluctuations.

As for getting you thefreshest, healthiest possiblefood, one important strategyis to know the schedule of allthe farmer’s markets in thearea. Ukiah has a Tuesdayafternoon market on SchoolStreet under the pavilion inAlex Thomas Plaza. It runsfrom 3-6 PM for the conve-nience of people who work inand around Ukiah. For thosein the know, the Tuesdaymarket was the perfect placeto start celebrating our inde-pendence by supporting smallfarmers while stocking up forthe Fourth of July holiday.At the Tuesday Market youwill find great local flowers,fish, fruit and berries, pro-duce and more.

Work in Ukiah but live inRedwood Valley? You canfreshen up your supplies atthe Tuesday Ukiah marketbut enjoy the nearby SundayRedwood Valley market tostock up for the week.Rumor has it the SundayRedwood Valley market haslots of great local producethis year. Go check it outfrom 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. inLion’s Park.

Having markets at differ-ent times and places is one

way that we make shoppingat farmer’s markets conve-nient. It also allows ourfarmers to harvest regularly,as things ripen, so that theyare always as fresh as possi-ble. For a full schedule ofthe farmer’s markets inMendocino County checkhttp://mcfarm.org/ or get acopy of the schedule at theFriends of MCFARM table atthe market.

A huge thanks to thosewho supported last Saturday’smarket despite the adverseconditions. Thanks also tothe Greater Ukiah Chamberof Commerce for helping ourpatrons breath easy by allow-ing us to offer quality partic-ulate respirators at the manu-facturer’s cost.

Until the air is reliablyhealthy the SaturdayFarmer’s Market will foregomany of our previouslyplanned family orientedactivities. However, becauseyou still need to eat andbecause our local farmers stillneed to get their great prod-ucts to you as fresh as possi-ble, the market itself willcontinue every Saturday from8:30 to Noon at School andClay Streets.

At the market tomorrow,come check out the fine play-ing of guitarist Jim Tuhtanplaying jazz standards withbass player Christian Frey.Jim is co-owner of JitterboxMusic (200 State St) and alsohosts Open Mike WednesdayNights (signups start at 7:30,music starts at 8:30) at theUkiah Brewing Company.Speaking of local things atUkiah Brewing Company,they are one of our localrestaurants that uses as muchlocally produced food as pos-sible. But that is a columnfor another week.

The North Ukiah LittleLeague All-Stars took to thefield for the first timeThursday evening at Baechtolas their All-Star Tournamentbegan with a showdownagainst their fellow 10-11 yearold All-Stars from Willits.

D.J. Anderson tossed in anoutstanding pitching perfor-mance while the North Ukiahoffense utilized timely hitting,walks and solid base-runningto 10-run-rule Willits by afinal score of 11-1 after fourinnings.

D.J. started the game outby retiring the first nine outsby strikeout. He allowed justone hit and three walks -- allin the first inning when Willitsplated their only run of thegame -- while striking out 10in four innings of work. Hewent thru a stretch in the sec-ond and third innings in whichhe struck out the side.

As their starter fell into adominating rhythm, theoffense for NULL found itsgroove in the second and thirdinnings.

After falling behind 1-0through one inning of play,NULL bounced back in thesecond inning when CharlieKyle singled off of Willitsstarter Sam Tyrell and D.J.followed with a walk. ThenNULL got a little crafty on thebasepaths, taking second andthird on wild pitches beforestealing home due to an over-throw from the Willits catcherinto left field. When the ballgot by the left fielder, D.J.came around to score to giveNULL the 2-1 lead it wouldnever relinquish.

Then in the bottom of thethird inning after D.J. quicklyretired the side, Kerr Johnsonled off with a single andSammy Miller reached on anerror by the third baseman,giving NULL two on withnobody out. After Kerr camearound to score with one outdue to stolen bases and wildpitches, Russell Pinnegarwalked and Casey Looneyfollowed with a single thatdrove in two. That made it 5-1but NULL wasn’t finishedyet. Charlie came to the platenext and stroked an RBI-sin-gle to right, scoring Casey.Charlie then came around to

score for a 7-1 lead after anerror and a couple more wildpitches.

NULL would finish offWillits in the fourth ratherthan let the game drag on thealloted six innings as RobbieMcIntosh took one off thefoot, Russell and ColtonCrabtree walked. Robbiescored when another ball gotpast the catcher and Charliethen came through once againwith runners in scoring posi-tion when he singled up themiddle to bring home twomore. Charlie finished 3-for-3with three RBIs and three runsincluding the game-winningrun (when he made it 11-1) ashe stole home.

Russell, who had twowalks and scored twice andCasey who was 1-for-2 withtwo RBIs and a run wereamong the other key contribu-tors for the NULL squad.

What a sweetheart: ClayBennett left the SuperSonicsname, championship bannersand 41 years of memoriesbehind, yet couldn’t bringhimself to part with even afew crocodile tears on hisway out the door.

Too bad — since thosewould have been the mostappropriate souvenir of all.

“There was just so muchthat happened on both sides,”Bennett said after scoopingup Seattle’s NBA franchiseand carrying it back toOklahoma City, “so muchmisinterpreted, miscommuni-cated and misunderstood thatit was difficult.”

Please. Everybody knowsthat when marriages like theone between Seattle and itsbasketball team dissolve after41 years, there’s going to behard feelings, especiallybecause this one was so one-sided: All of the affection andmost of the cash flowed in thesame direction for years —from fans and city, county andstate coffers into the teamowner’s pocket — and atsome point, Bennett decidedit still wasn’t enough.

So after much legal wran-gling, he picked up his fran-chise and went home. Thesame scenario has played outfive times in the NBA overthe last 25 years, and somaybe the only real surpriseis how little time it took forSeattle to get over the separa-tion.

The ink on the court settle-ment was barely dry beforecity and state legislatorsbegan scrambling to scrapetogether another $300 millionor so in the next 18 monthsfor the dubious privilege oftying the knot again. You’llrecall NBA commissionerDavid Stern anguished longand loud in public when wordof the widening rift betweentown and team leaked out.But he just happened to haveboth the dowry sum and dead-line on the tip of his tonguethe second the divorcebecame final.

Knowing government offi-cials were already discussinga renovation of KeyArena, hetold them the public fundinghad to be in place “by the endof 2009 in order for there tobe any chance for the NBA toreturn to Seattle within thenext five years.”

If the whole thing smacksof choreography, there’s agood reason for it: Sportsleagues get plenty of practice.They know fans, towns andentire states are suckers fortheir franchises, that rippingthem out of one point on thelandscape and planting themsomewhere else is an oppor-tunity to make more money.Few, if any, other businessesinside the city limits conducttheir affairs as if guaranteedprofits for the owner were acivic obligation, but ballclubsalways do.

Two years ago,Washington, D.C., couldn’tfind the cash to run an ade-quate bus service, but the citycouncil was still willing toburden taxpayers withupward of $600 million tobuild a new baseball stadiumfor the Nationals. Fresh in thecouncil’s mind, no doubt, wasthe way a rundown corner ofthe city fairly bloomed afterWashington Wizards ownerAbe Pollin plunked down$200 million — of his ownmoney, it should be noted —to erect a new arena for hisNBA team.

But economists haveshown over and over that tax-payer funding for stadiums isalmost always a bad deal. For

SAN FRANCISCO — TimLincecum the cover boy soon could beTim Lincecum the All-Star starter —or at least All-Star. And in his secondbig league season no less.

Lincecum increased his NationalLeague-leading strikeout total to 122with eight Ks in six innings and alsosingled in a run and scored from first,helping the San Francisco Giants sal-vage a four-game split with an 8-3 winover the Chicago Cubs on Thursday.

Lincecum (10-1) seemed unfazed— and certainly not jinxed — in hisfirst start since he made the SportsIllustrated cover this week, trailing allof two innings before holding downthe Cubs’ dangerous lineup.

“They’re excited for Timmy,” man-ager Bruce Bochy said. “He’s gettingrecognized, as he should. I’m sure he’staking some razzing.”

Actually, Lincecum’s teammateswent easy on him. So far.

“I’m not thinking out there, ’I’m theSports Illustrated cover kid,”’Lincecum said. “That’s the last thinggoing through my mind. ... Most guysare pretty cool about it, saying, ’Heyman, I’m happy for you.’ It is what itis. It’s just a magazine. I’m preparedfor whatever.”

Pinch-hitter Rich Aurilia hit a three-run homer in the seventh for some keyinsurance, his seventh home run andthird career pinch-hit homer. He hadn’t

had a pinch-hit homer since June 12,2003, at the Chicago White Sox duringhis first stint with San Francisco.

Fred Lewis hit an RBI triple in SanFrancisco’s four-run second and JoseCastillo added an RBI double in theinning. The Cubs allowed another runon a routine popup by Ray Durhamright along the third-base line thatcatcher Geovany Soto appeared to losein the sun and dropped for an error.Lewis ran around him and stepped onthe plate to make it 4-1.

Lincecum, barely 24, struck out theside in the fourth and struck out Sotoon a 3-2 pitch in the sixth beforeallowing Mark DeRosa’s two-run dou-ble that pulled Chicago within 4-3.Lincecum’s strikeout total trails onlyCleveland’s C.C. Sabathia (123) forthe big league lead.

As far as being an All-Star or eventhe NL starter on Rockies managerClint Hurdle’s staff, Lincecum insistshe’s not thinking about that either —though Bochy acknowledged hispitcher is “getting some very strongconsideration for that.”

“I don’t even know what deter-mines that. I haven’t thought about it,”Lincecum said. “I’m just real fortunateto get the run support I have.”

Derrek Lee singled in a run in thefirst that put Chicago ahead and Leedoubled leading off the sixth, butKeiichi Yabu struck him out on threepitches to end the seventh with thetying run on second. Lee had two of

the Cubs’ seven hits off Lincecum.“Three pitches,” Yabu said with a

grin and holding up three fingers.“Curve, curve, split.”

Sean Gallagher (3-4) saw his win-less stretch reach five starts with histhird straight lost decision. He hasn’twon since June 1 against Colorado.

The Giants were outscored 16-9over the first three games of the series,but made up for it in this one, gaininga bit of momentum heading into ahome weekend series with the rivalLos Angeles Dodgers.

every success like the VerizonCenter, there’s a museum’sworth of sporting templesbuilt and maintained at publicexpense that won’t pay forthemselves for generations.Yet so strong is the prospect ofa downtown parade even onceeach generation that sports

league have played shellgames with their franchisesforever and there’s no end tothe number of towns lining upto get beat.

Some 20 years ago, taxpay-ers in Tampa Bay paid to putup a stadium without a tenant.It should have been named“The Kick-Me Dome”because of all the baseballowners who threatened tomove teams there in order toshake down money from the

towns they were already play-ing in. MLB boss Bud Seligfinally took pity on TampaBay and let some locals buyinto the moneymakingscheme.

After nearly two decades oflousy baseball and ever lousi-er investing by the fans whosupported the Rays, TampaBay finally has a team worthgetting excited about. Here’shoping a few months thatwould crescendo with an

hourlong parade downtownwas worth the wait and all thefuss.

NBA fans in Seattle haven’thad a championship since1979, and only so many sea-sons worth celebrating since.So it’s anyone’s guess whyMayor Greg Nickels and hisadministration were so proudthat they got — in addition to

as much as $75 million — abinding agreement fromBennett to keep theSuperSonics’ name, logo andcolors in Seattle.

Go figure. He and his townalready paid for them severaltimes over. And for some rea-son, they apparently can’t waitfor the day when they’ll get todo so again.

WIMBLEDON, England — Venusand Serena Williams won in straightsets Thursday to set up their third all-sister Wimbledon final and seventhGrand Slam championship matchup.

Defending champion and four-timewinner Venus beat Elena Dementieva6-1, 7-6 (3), then two-time champSerena overcame two rain delays andserved 14 aces to down China’s ZhengJie 6-2, 7-6 (5).

It will be the first all-Williams finalat any tournament since 2003, whenSerena beat her older sister in theWimbledon title match for the secondyear in a row.

Serena holds an 8-7 career edgeover Venus, including 5-1 in GrandSlam finals. Since Venus won the U.S.Open in 2001, Serena has won fivestraight of their major finals.

“She’s a tough opponent,” Serenasaid. “I think she’ll be the toughestperson I’ve played. I’m excited.”

Said Venus: “It’s every Williams forthemself.”

Venus overpowered the fifth-seededDementieva in the first set and thenprevailed in an error-filled tiebreakerto improve her record to 7-0 in semifi-nals at the All England Club.

“I am dying for S. Williams to getthrough,” said the 28-year-old Venus,who hasn’t dropped a set in fivematches and will be going for her sev-enth Grand Slam title.

Venus then went back out to watchher 26-year-old sister, who sat throughrain breaks in both sets before crank-ing up her big serve, saving a set pointin the second set and finishing off the133rd-ranked Zheng to put her one

win away from a ninth Grand Slamcrown.

After Zheng dumped a second serveinto the net on match point, Serenalooked more relieved than anything toget through the match. Venus fiddledwith her fingernails as she watchedalongside their father, Richard, in theplayers’ box.

“She definitely pushed me,” Serenasaid of Zheng, the first Chinese playerto reach a Grand Slam semifinal andfirst wild-card entrant to get this far atWimbledon. “Unbelievable, and notonly that she played a great game. Sheplayed like she had nothing to lose andshe didn’t.

“I wanted to do more than make aWimbledon final,” she added. “I’mjust happy to be back in a Grand Slamfinal.”

Richard Williams said he would flyback to the United States on Fridayand doesn’t plan to watch a singlepoint of the final on television, sayinghe can’t bear to watch his daughtersplaying against each other.

In men’s play, 32-year-old RainerSchuettler outlasted Arnaud Clement6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (6), 6-7 (7), 8-6 in amatch that took two days to complete.The German saved a match point at 5-4 in the fifth set before pulling out a 5-hour, 12-minute victory that sends himinto the semifinals Friday against No.2 Rafael Nadal.

The other men’s semifinal has five-time champion Roger Federer facing aresurgent Marat Safin, a former No. 1and two-time Grand Slam champion.

Like her sister, Serena Williamshasn’t dropped a set so far. And, likeVenus, she relied on her serve to pullher through when she needed it most.

“I didn’t want to go three sets,” shesaid. “I could have. I was ready to gothree sets, but I felt like I didn’t wantto. I just wanted to close it. I just hitsome big serves.”

Serena, who strode onto the courtwearing her custom-made white trenchcoat, was up 5-2 in the first set whenplay was suspended for 35 minutes.She came back out after the break andheld serve at love to close out the set.

From one stretch late in the first setinto the second, Zheng was unable toget the ball back into play on 11 con-secutive return points as Serena cameup with five aces and six service win-ners.

But Zheng, hitting cleanly from thebaseline and winning most of the longrallies, hung in and went up a break at4-2 in the second set. Serena brokeright back and the two stayed evenuntil play was stopped again by rain at5-5.

After a delay of 1 hour, 20 minutes,Zheng earned a set point on Serena’sserve at 6-5 but failed to convert,smacking a second-serve backhandreturn into the top of the net.

Serena got fired up, letting out amighty scream — “Come on!” — andpumping her fist after an overheadsmash on the next point. She thensmacked back-to-back aces to set upthe tiebreaker.

Serena took a 5-2 lead with the helpof three more aces, but Zheng keptfighting and pulled even at 5-5. Serenahit a 123 mph service winner to set upmatch point, letting out another loudshout. The match ended tamely withZheng’s only double-fault.

Dementieva, playing in her firstWimbledon semifinal, looked nervous

and was completely overmatched inthe first set by Venus Williams’ sheerpower and pace, but settled down andmade it competitive in the second. TheRussian then faded badly in thetiebreaker and committed repeatedunforced errors.

After Dementieva knocked a fore-hand into the net to end the 1:42match, Venus skipped and hopped upand down with joy like a kid at a birth-day party.

“I guess it started to set in a little bitabout being in the final,” she said.“When I’m excited I always jump.That I guess will never change. I’d liketo celebrate even more if I’m goodenough to take that title.”

Asked about the likelihood of anall-Williams final, Dementieva saidshe couldn’t imagine playing against asibling, adding, “For sure it’s going tobe a family decision.”

Venus took offense to a questionabout a predetermined outcome.

“I’m extremely professional ineverything that I do on and off thecourt,” Venus said. “I contribute mybest in my sport and I also have a tonof respect for myself and my family.So any mention of that is extremelydisrespectful for who I am, what Istand for, and my family.”

Later, Dementieva issued a state-ment through the WTA clarifying hercomments, saying English was not herfirst language.

“I do not think for one second thatmatches between Serena and VenusWilliams are family decisions,” shesaid. “What I meant was it is a uniquesituation for a family to be in to beplaying for a Grand Slam title. I have alot of respect for Serena and Venus.”

“We didn’t play that well atall and we got back in the ball-game. We just gave it up in ahurry,” Cubs manager LouPiniella said. “Gallagher gaveup four runs and then he start-ed getting people out. He

makes mistakes with hisbreaking balls. He leavesthem up. Maybe he gets toopumped up. When he gets hisbreaking ball down, he’s aneffective pitcher.”

Omar Vizquel’s infield sin-gle in the seventh ended an 0-for-18 stretch and was just histhird hit in his last 49 at-batsspanning 16 games. Auriliafollowed with the home run

off Carlos Marmol. Vizquelhad a run-scoring single upthe middle in the eighth for hisfirst multihit game since May21 and first RBI since asqueeze play June 24.

Aramis Ramirez rejoinedthe Cubs after missing the firstthree games in the Bay Area tobe home in the DominicanRepublic for a family matter.

CHICAGO — JustinDuchscherer pitched sevensolid innings, Jack Cust andDonnie Murphy homered andthe Oakland Athletics beatChicago 3-2 Thursday nightto snap the White Sox’sseven-game win streak.

Javier Vazquez took theloss despite pitching his firstcomplete game in nearly ayear and retiring the first 11batters. Chicago took a 2-0lead in the first on a leadoffhomer by DeWayne Wise andan RBI double by JermaineDye, before Duchscherer set-tled down.

Oakland, which had lostfour of five, broke through inthe fourth when Cust tied itwith a two-run homer, andMurphy made it 3-2 with asolo drive in the fifth.

That was enough forDuchscherer (9-5), the major-league leader with a 1.96ERA.

The right-hander held theAL Central leaders to five hitswhile striking out four andwalking two. He has heldopponents to two runs or lessin all but two of his 14 startsand is 5-1 in his last six out-ings.

A.J. Pierzynski doubled offAlan Embree with one out in

the eighth, but the White Soxstranded him. Huston Streetstruck out Carlos Quentin andretired Dye on a grounder tothird before pitching a score-less ninth for his 16th save in19 chances.

Vazquez (7-7) was a tough-luck loser on a night when hetied a season-high with 10strikeouts and pitched his firstcomplete game since last July8 against Minnesota. Hestruck out the first four battersand seven of the first nine,walked one and allowed justfour hits.

He ran into trouble in thefourth when he hit KurtSuzuki with two out, and Custdrove his 14th homer over theright-field wall to tie it at 2.Murphy connected with twoout in the fifth, sending histhird homer out to left-center.

Notes: Oakland SS BobbyCrosby missed his first gameof the season with a strainedleft hamstring and is day-to-day. “It’s better today,”Crosby said. “It’s a little sorebut it’s definitely better.” ...An MRI exam on 3B EricChavez revealed inflamma-tion in his right shoulder. Hewent on the 15-day disabledlist on Wednesday and willstart rehab work in two weeks,manager Bob Geren said.

SAN JOSE — Veterandefenseman Rob Blake signeda one-year, $5 million con-tract with the San Jose Sharkson Friday, leaving PacificDivision rival Los Angeles fora more immediate chance at achampionship.

The 38-year-old Blake is aseven-time All-Star and oneof the NHL’s most respectedveteran defensemen. He has702 career points, tied forfourth among active players athis position, and a StanleyCup championship from histime with the ColoradoAvalanche in 2001.

Blake, who won the NorrisTrophy in 1998, has beenremarkably durable late in hiscareer, playing at least 71games in every season since2001. He’s also a three-timeCanadian Olympian, teamingwith Sharks star Joe Thornton.

“I’ve gotten to play withRob at several internationaltournaments, and we’ve built

a friendship over the years,”Thornton said. “He’ll fit rightinto our group, and moreimportantly will help us win.”

He’ll get significantresponsibility from new coachTodd McLellan in the Sharks’six-man defensive rotation,which looks solid despiteCampbell’s defection toChicago.

“He’s a player that we’veidentified for a long period oftime as someone that wouldfit into our club,” said Wilson,who chased Blake at each ofthe past two trade deadlines.“He’ll play a lot of minutes,and players like this, greatplayers, need to have the abil-ity to win to really thrive.

The signing is San Jose’sfirst move on the summer freeagent market. The Sharks lostCampbell this week to theBlackhawks, who lavishedSan Jose’s late-season tradeacquisition with an eight-yearcontract worth nearly $57 mil-lion.

ical marijuana plant limits.Hanamoto and Laguna have

since refiled their suit based onthe decision in People v. Kellyin which a California Appellatecourt ruled that the state med-ical marijuana limits set by SB420 were unconstitutional.Measure B set the same limits.

County Counsel JeanineNadel said a stipulation was putin place during the first hearingof the Hanamoto and Laguna

suit that, should Measure Bpass, it would not be enforceduntil the court ruled on its con-stitutionality.

Nadel said if Behnke rulesagainst Hanamoto and Lagunaon July 25, the stipulation willbe lifted and Measure B will beenforced.

In the meantime, the Sher-iff’s Office will continue toarrest people for violating theexisting county law, whichallow people to grow up to 25marijuana plants for medicaluse and possess up to twopounds of dried marijuana.

Those growing and selling

marijuana commercially willcontinue to be prosecuted.

Sheriff’s deputies havearrested several people on sus-picion of growing and sellingmarijuana commercially sincevoters approved Measure B onJune 3.

Additionally, Nadel said thecounty counsel’s office is wait-ing to see if the CaliforniaAttorney General’s Office willbe filing a petition for review inthe Kelly case. A petition wouldbring the case for a hearing inthe California Supreme Court.

Measure B, which voterspassed with approximately 52

percent of the vote, repealedMeasure G - the county’s per-sonal use marijuana law - andset medical marijuana plantlimits at the state limits of sixmature or 12 immature plantsand eight ounces of dried mari-juana.

Measure G, which wasapproved by Mendocino Coun-ty voters in 2000, instructed lawenforcement to make the prose-cution of anyone growing 25 orfewer marijuana plants the low-est possible law enforcementpriority.

Declaration of Independence is my birth cer-tificate. The bloodlines of the world run in myveins, because I offered freedom to theoppressed. I am many things and many people.I am the nation.

I am 213 million living souls -- and theghost of millions who have lived and died forme.

I am Nathan Hale and Paul Revere. I stoodat Lexington and fired the shot heard aroundthe world. I am Washington, Jefferson andPatrick Henry. I am John Paul Jones, theGreen Mountain Boys and Davy Crockett. Iam Lee and Grant and Abe Lincoln.

I remember the Alamo, the Maine and PearlHarbor. When freedom called, I answered andstayed until it was over, over there. I left myheroic dead in Flanders Field, on the rock ofCorregidor and on the bleak slopes of Korea.

I am the Brooklyn Bridge, the wheat landsof Kansas and the granite hills of Vermont. Iam the coalfields of the Virginias andPennsylvania, the fertile lands of the West, theGolden Gate and the Grand Canyon. I amIndependence Hall, the Monitor and theMerrimac.

I am big. I sprawl from the Atlantic to thePacific -- my arms reach out to embraceAlaska and Hawaii -- three million squaremiles throbbing with industry. I am more than

five million farms. I am forest, field, mountainand desert. I am quiet villages -- and cities thatnever sleep.

You can look at me and see Ben Franklinwalking down the streets of Philadelphia withhis breadloaf under his arm. You can see BetsyRoss with her needle. You can see the lights ofChristmas and hear the strains of “Auld LangSyne” as the calendar turns.

I am Babe Ruth and the World Series. I am110,000 schools and colleges and 330,000churches where my people worship God asthey think best. I am a ballot dropped into abox, the roar of a crowd in a stadium and thevoice of a choir in a cathedral. I am an editor-ial in a newspaper and a letter to aCongressman.

I am Eli Whitney and Stephen Foster. I amTom Edison, Albert Einstein and BillyGraham. I am Horace Greeley, Will Rogersand the Wright Brothers. I am GeorgeWashington Carver, Jonas Salk and MartinLuther King.

I am Longfellow, Harriet Beecher Stowe,Walt Whitman and Thomas Paine.

Yes, I am the nation and these are the things

that I am. I was conceived in freedom and,God willing, in freedom I will spend the restof my days.

May I possess always the integrity, thecourage and the strength to keep myselfunshackled, to remain a citadel of freedom anda beacon of hope to the world.

Dear Annie: This is in response to“Patriotic Idiot,” who asked about puttingone’s hand over the heart during the singing ofthe national anthem. You mentioned the 1942guidelines stating that civilians should placethe hand over the heart and those in uniformshould salute.

A bill (S.1877) sponsored by U.S. Sen. JimInhofe, R-Okla., was passed by unanimousconsent in 2007, amending those guidelines sothat all those serving in the military, alongwith all veterans, should render a militarysalute to the flag, whether they are indoors orout, in uniform or not, to differentiate themfrom those who have never served. -- D.W. inHettinger, N.D.

Dear D.W.: Thanks to you and all the oth-ers who wrote regarding the updated bill. Weappreciate the clarification.

Fourth of July thoughts on the nation and patriotism

Hi I am called CASPER

by the Ukiah Shelter Staff as I appeared, like a ghost, Mon.6/23 with 3 dog fr iends. We were tied with a chain, to the shelter fence with a bucket of water and a big bag of dog food. Were we left by our humans evac-uating the fires or just dumped? We can not tell anyone our story, so perhaps someone will recog-nize me and call Sage 467-6453. Oth-erwise, I will soon be looking for a new home.

I am a pretty little girl Chihuahua with a fancy collar. I was thinking of checking out the sales at Wal-Mar t on Mon. 6/30 when the next thing I knew I was at the Ukiah Shelter. Well, they do have cats on sale here and some dogs too. But I would like to go home. Call Sage at 467-6453 if you can name the color of my collar!
