Discussions over a contractdispute between MendocinoCounty and the Foundationfor Medical Care (which rep-resents local doctors treatingcounty workers) are nearing aresolution, according tospokespersons for both orga-nizations. The groups appearto be in accord on the keyissues and have asked lawyerson both sides to help finalizethe wording of the agreement.

The county has agreed toraise the doctors’ fee to matchprevailing rates and to remedyissues associated with assign-ing patients in Lake County toanother organization, accord-ing to Robert Faulk, theFoundation executive direc-tor. The Foundation cancelledthe agreement with the countyon August 6, but deferred tak-

ing action affecting countyworkers during discussionswith the county.

With no contract, countyworkers could have beenforced to pay their own med-ical bills and then ask thecounty for reimbursements.

“Our goal is to maintainour relationship with theFoundation,” says LindaClouser, human resourcesdirector for the county. “Wewant to update the contractlanguage to reflect the stan-dard language used by thecounty as well as to clarify thelanguage to avoid a futuremisunderstanding with somestandardization for annualreview of rates.”

The two parties expect tomeet again by October 2 toreview the revised contractlanguage.

GARDENING BEHIND BARS

MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal

Inmates Cindy Harrington, right, and Brenda Gallegos transplant salad green starts in a shade houselocated at the Mendocino County Jail. When the greens are ready, inmates will transplant them to theorganic garden on the facility’s grounds.

By K.C. MEADOWSThe Daily Journal

Women in the county jail are get-ting an opportunity to grow.

Vegetables, that is.Teams of four women at a time

are assigned to the jail garden, super-vised by local horticulturist TerriMcCartney, well-known for hernumerous garden projects in publicspaces.

In its first year with McCartney’scare, the garden produced some 200pounds of vegetables in a week atthe height of summer.

Dug into scrub land well insidethe jail fences, the organic gardenwas created with lots of donationsand hard work.

“This first year was about learningthe land,” McCartney explained. “Ittakes longer to get where you wantto be.”

With donated manure, organiccompost and fill, the soil was vastlyimproved and produced summer andwinter squash, pumpkins, tomatoes,cucumbers, broccoli, spinach lettuces

and more. Inmates on the women’sside of the jail enjoyed better saladsand vegetarian meals as a result.

Much of the produce is being har-vested strictly for seeds this year,McCartney said. The teams are sepa-rating and drying seeds, and savingthem into jars for next year’s garden.One of the first things planted earlyin the year were sunflowers, theroots of which helped break up thesoil for the summer garden andwhose thick stalks make handyfences and tomato cages.

In a jail yard greenhouse, tiny let-tuces, greens and other winter cropsare sprouting, and will take the gar-den through the winter.

On Friday, inmates CindyHarrington and Brenda Gallegosspent some time transplantingseedlings into pots for the next phaseof growth. Both women said theyenjoyed their gardening jobs since itgave them an opportunity to be out-doors and to work with growingthings.

In the greenhouse are stacked

dozens of No. 10 cans, and milkjugs, recycled from the jail kitchenfor use as planters, as well as milkcrates of compost starter made ofmanure, leaves from trees around thejail and grape pomace.

Sheriff Tom Allmanis enthusiastic aboutthe garden programwhich he creditsSheriff’s Capt. KevinBroin with starting.

He points to a pileof bright orangepumpkins which hesays will be used todecorate at the UkiahPumpkinfest and thendonated to the UkiahBoys & Girls Club.

Women at the jailhave a limited numberof things they areallowed to do as jobs.While the men domost of the cookingand laundry, Gallegosexplained that thewomen have the gar-den, food distribution,classroom help andsome limited cleaning

Myanmar troopsfire in air, beatprotesters

YANGON, Myanmar (AP)— Soldiers and police tookcontrol of the streets Friday,firing warning shots and teargas to scatter the few pro-democracy protesters whoventured out as Myanmar’s

military junta sealed offBuddhist monasteries and cutpublic Internet access.

On the third day of a harshgovernment crackdown, thestreets were empty of the massgatherings that had peacefullychallenged the regime dailyfor nearly two weeks, leavingonly small groups of activiststo be chased around by securi-ty forces.

“Bloodbath again!Bloodbath again!” a Yangonresident yelled while watchingsoldiers break up one marchby shooting into air, firing teargas and beating people withclubs.

Thousands of monks had

provided the backbone of theprotests, but they werebesieged in their monasteries,penned in by locked gates andbarbed wire surrounding thecompounds in the two biggestcities, Yangon and Mandalay.Troops stood guard outsideand blocked nearby roads tokeep the clergymen isolated.

Many Yangon residentsseemed pessimistic over thecrackdown, fearing it fatallyweakened a movement thatbegan nearly six weeks ago assmall protests over fuel pricehikes and grew into demon-strations by tens of thousandsdemanding an end to 45 yearsof military rule.

By ANDREW DeMILLOThe Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. --Six Catholic nuns have beenexcommunicated for heresyafter refusing to give upmembership in a Canadiansect whose founder claims tobe possessed by the VirginMary, the Diocese of LittleRock announcedWednesday.

The Rev. J. GastonHebert, the diocese adminis-trator, said he notified thenuns of the decision Tuesdaynight after they refused torecant the teachings of theCommunity of the Lady ofAll Nations, also known asthe Army of Mary.

The Vatican has declaredall members of the Army ofMary excommunicated.Hebert said the excommuni-cation was the first in thediocese’s 165-year history.

“It is a painfully historicmoment for this church,”Hebert said.

The six nuns are associat-ed with the Good ShepherdMonastery of Our Lady ofCharity and Refuge in HotSprings. Sister MaryTheresa Dionne, one of thenuns excommunicated, saidthe nuns will still live at theconvent property, whichthey own.

“We are at peace and weknow that for us we aredoing the right thing,” the82-year-old nun said. “Wepray that the church willopen their eyes before it istoo late. This is God’s workthrough Mary, the blessedmother, and we’re doing

what we’re asked to do.”At a news conference,

Hebert said the nuns“became entranced anddeluded with a doctrine thatis heretical.” He said churchofficials removed theEucharist -- which Catholicsrevere as the body of Christ-- from the monastery onTuesday night.

Hebert said the sect’smembers believe that its 86-year-old founder, MariePaule Giguere, is the rein-

carnation of the Virgin Maryand that God speaks directlythrough her.

Excommunication barsthe nuns from participatingin the church liturgy andreceiving communion orother sacraments.

The diocese said theaction was taken after theCongregation for theDoctrine of the Faith issueda declaration dated July 11that the Army of Mary’steachings were heretical and

automatically excommuni-cated any who embraced thedoctrine.

Hebert said the diocesehad known for years that thenuns were following the sectand said church officials inthe past had encouragedthem to come back into thefold.

According to the CatholicNews Service, the Army ofMary was founded inQuebec in 1971 by Giguere,who said she was receivingvisions from God.

Dionne said she does notknow if Giguere is the rein-carnation of the VirginMary, but said she believesGod communicates throughthe sect’s founder.

“She is doing only whatGod and Mary tells her todo,” Dionne said.

A spokesman for theArmy of Mary called theexcommunication of thenuns and the other membersof the sect an injustice.Father Eric Roy saidGiguere has not claimed tobe the reincarnation of theVirgin Mary, and said the86-year-old Quebec woman“receives graces” from theVirgin Mary and God.

“The Virgin Mary tookpossession of her soul. Iwould rather say it thatway,” said Roy, superiorgeneral of the Sons of Mary,an associated group.

GIs grateful for giftsTo the Editor:This is a wonderful letter I just

received from one of our 239 recipients ofour August 26, 2007 mailing for thetroops. It would be wonderful to share thiswith everyone in our community, as itsays so much for our continued effort as awhole.

Dear Tamara and GI Moms:I would like to thank you for your sup-

port of the troops. I’m the PlatoonSergeant for about 50 soldiers. My sol-diers do many different missions on thisdeployment. I’m also in charge of theDHA, which is a jail. I wish I could tellyou more about it, but due to legal stuff, Icannot. The other half run missions whenwe are not full in the jail. My platoon hasbeen together for two years now, and theyare my second family. We are very closeto one another, and we want to thank youall.

We are located out in the desert, andlive in tents and dust. We may not havewhat everyone else has, but we do ourbest out here. We all love the cards thatAnthony, Michaela, Julio, Mira andMiguel sent us. It made me really think ofmy 3-year-old daughter, and my fourother children. I know that all of the mar-ried soldiers in my platoon thought abouttheir kids, too.

I would just like to thank all of you atGI Moms for your support of troopsaround the world. It takes a loving andcaring person to do what you all do. Onceagain, thank you.

To the Editor:An Open Letter To Assembly

Working Groups on Water:As your Working Group on Water

begins its evaluation of solutions toCalifornia’s water problems, I think it isimportant to note that Australia recentlyadopted a new strategy for addressing itswater shortages, and that strategy is fardifferent from -- and in my opinion farsuperior to -- that proposed byDepartment of Water Resources. Instead

of attempting to take more water fromwhere it falls and flows, Australians havechosen to make more water where it isneeded, using the energy of ocean swellsto produce fresh water from the sea. Thepilot project was reported by Reuters ear-lier this year and more details can befound at www.oceanlinx.com/desalinat-ed.asp. Before California embarks on amulti-billion dollar project to store andship water, wouldn’t it be prudent tospend perhaps .0001 percent of thatamount over the next six months to havethe Department of Water Resources evalu-ate the reality, potential, and cost of waveenergy conversion (WEC)--based offshoredesalination?

The Department’s plan for increasedstorage and transportation of water istotally dependent upon the amount ofsnow falling on California’s mountainsand the amount of rain falling inCalifornia’s watersheds: additional storageand transport capacity are totally ineffec-tive if the total precipitation is insufficientto recharge groundwater, maintain suffi-cient river and stream flows, and meet theneeds of people and businesses over aprotracted period. On the other hand, solong as there is sea water in the PacificOcean and waves to generate power,WEC-based offshore desalination canincrease fresh water supply 24 hours aday, 365 days a year, regardless of annualrainfall, in Southern California where it ismost needed.

I believe California’s new water policyshould be: “Don’t take more water: makemore water!”

More broken promises

Sweet land of libertyNAT HENTOFF

Bush adds toChina's glory

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

Tom Elias is a syndicated columnist.

In September 2004, the president was thefirst world leader to accuse the government ofSudan of the genocide of black Africans inDarfur. Despite all the U.N. Security Councilresolutions and the earnest but naive negotia-tions by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, the killings and rapes continue amidthe spreading chaos, which now encompassesChad. It is all the more startling that GeorgeW. Bush has now accepted an invitation byChinese President Hu Jintao to grace nextsummer's Olympics in Beijing.

Bush must know that China is making elab-orate, expensive preparations -- includingreducing air pollution in Beijing -- for thislegendary international event. There is anintense expectation among China's leadersthat hosting (and sharing in) the glories of thequest for the gold medals will change China'simage in the world, from a merciless dictator-ship to the embodiment of the Olympic spiritof harmonious relations among nations.

White House Deputy Press Secretary DanaPerino says that, although Bush spoke to theJintao "in a forceful way" during a recent pri-vate meeting in Australia about China's dis-dain for human rights and religious freedom,Bush was not going to attend the Olympics tomake a political statement.

Michael Green, former Asia director at theNational Security Council in the Bush admin-istration, told the New York Times (Sept. 7),"The bottom line is (the president) just lovessports, and I'm sure he wants to go, like anyother guy, because it's going to be exciting. Ithink he's going to watch."

It would be even more exciting if, duringwhat I and others are calling the GenocideOlympics, officials held an event to test thesynchronizing skills of Sudan's camel-ridingJanjaweed militias as they burn villages, killthe men, rape the women, carry away the live-stock and sometimes throw children into thefires. Sudan's Khartoum government haspledged to disarm the Janjaweed but hasshown no inclination to so, let alone punishthe leaders.

President Bush is certainly aware thatSudan's chief investor in Sudan -- and leadingarms supplier -- is the host of next summer'sOlympics. China's leaders are nervous aboutplans for a worldwide campaign to shameChina into exerting its enormous influence tocompel the Sudanese government to join civ-ilization.

By hobnobbing with the leaders of thePeople's Republic of China at the SummerOlympics, the sports-loving president will --as Sophie Richardson, an Asia expert atHuman Rights Watch, puts it, be giving "anenormous propaganda opportunity" as Chinastrives to erase the image of the young pro-democracy protestor standing in front of thearmy tanks at Tiananmen Square.

Some years ago, it was George W. Bush, onlearning more of the details of the Rwandagenocide, who wrote on what he was reading:"Not on my watch." How can he not realizethat in going to watch the exciting games inBeijing, the hosts with whom he consorts will,in time, be responsible for more corpses thanthe executors of the genocide in Rwanda?

Amid all the current talk by Ban Ki-Moonabout constructive efforts by the governmentof Sudan to engage in peace negotiations withthe rebels and tribes, also warring with oneanother, Reeves -- the pre-eminent historianof this genocide -- wrote in the Sept. 6 BostonGlobe that "though violence in Darfur hasmutated ... ethnically targeted violence,orchestrated by (the Khartoum government),continues to be chronicled by human rightsinvestigators. ... The regime continues itsindiscriminate aerial bombardment of Africanvillages."

Under increasing danger are the extraordi-narily brave humanitarian workers who arealso the victims of the violence. Some havebeen forced to leave; and Eric Reeves quotesJan Egeland, former head of the U.N. human-itarian operations, that "hundreds of thou-sands would die in the event of humanitariancollapse."

Maybe Mr. Bush, sitting in his box seat atthe games, will be moved to make "a politicalstatement" to Hu Jintao, urging him to tell thegovernment of Sudan that China is consider-ing disinvesting from Sudan if it continues thegenocide. The president of China may listenpolitely, but it continues to be China's unwa-vering insistence that it will continue, at theU.N. Security Council, to protect Sudan fromforceful punishment of its crimes against itsown people.

Bush should reconsider and not let his pres-ence at the Genocide Olympics in Beijing berecorded as having been on his watch.

I also hope that, on reflection, a growingnumber of the athletes winning a place at theSummer Olympics will decide that receivinga gold medal at an event hosted by a partner ingenocide will not be worth the trip.

So, ho hum, here we are again, facing yet anotherbill signing period. By the hundreds, putative newlaws are now and will be piled upon the desk of Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger, who must decide whether tosign them, exercise a veto or let them become lawwithout his signature.

It's a heady, if hectic, time for any governor, onemade more crowded by the fact that there are fund-raisers to attend and campaign donors to glad-hand.

Nothing different there from any previous governor.Except this governor promised not to do it. Whilecampaigning in the 2003 recall election, he observedthat "There is no question these contributions havesome influence. Any of these kinds of real, big specialinterests, if you take money from them, you owe themsomething."

Since then, of course, he has maintained nothingcan influence his decisions, that he is his own manpure and simple, beyond influencing. But the factsargue otherwise. Schwarzenegger, who campaignedon the promise of eliminating contributions to bothgovernors and legislators during the budget-makingperiod and pledged to end contributions to governorswhile their desks are loaded with passed bills, contin-ually sets records for fund-raising in both periods.

And yet, his 2003 analysis remains as correct todayas it was then. All you need to do is look at his pastactions:

Twice he has vetoed a bill that would mandate acomprehensive study of whether California has anyimmediate need for liquefied natural gas. SempraEnergy, which will soon begin bringing LNG into thestate from its under-construction gas receiving facilityin Baja California, Mexico, has kicked more than$400,000 into his various political committees.

ChevronTexaco is another contributor, the big com-pany and its executives having kicked in $665,000 asof the June 15 reporting date. If it reaches him, whatwill Schwarzenegger do with AB 118, the bill byDemocratic Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez aimingto tax oil companies that drill in California to the tuneof about $137 million per year to fund research onalternative energy?

ChevronTexaco was one of several oil companiesthat kicked in tens of millions of dollars last year,when a similar proposal made the November ballot asan initiative and was overwhelmed by the tide of petrodollars thrown against it.

Schwarzenegger hit on the problem when he firstsought office: Unless he signs the Núñez bill, hismotives will be open to question, no matter what hisreal, underlying beliefs about it may be.

Even before the bill-signing period began, the gov-ernor ran afoul of the more than $15 million con-tributed to his committees by developers like theSpanos Companies of Stockton ($2.7 million),statewide homebuilder KB Home and its top execu-tives Eli Broad and Bruce Karatz ($429,000) and LosAngeles developer Rick Caruso ($653,000). WhenSchwarzenegger's chief of staff and cabinet secretarylobbied the Air Resources Board to go slow with rulesregulating particulate smog from old diesel construc-tion equipment, critics immediately noted the amountscontributed by developers and the fact that Chief ofStaff Susan Kennedy and Cabinet Secretary DanDunmoyer actually are paid more bySchwarzenegger's campaign committees than by thestate.

This, of course, came at the very timeSchwarzenegger was traveling the world posing as aleading opponent of greenhouse gases and other harm-ful emissions. "A tarnished green giant," some criticssaid. Others began calling him "the pollutinator."

The question raised by these facts is simple: Whodo he and they really work for, the people or thedonors who pay those salaries and forSchwarzenegger's private jet and the klieg lights at hisevery public appearance?

Similar questions have arisen in previous bill-sign-ing periods, when Schwarzenegger vetoed con-sumerist bills like one that would have guaranteed cellphone users the right to cancel contracts within 30days if unsatisfied with service (ATT and affiliateshave contributed $235,000) and another tougheningthe state's automotive lemon laws (car dealers havetossed in more than $2.8 million).

The bottom line: If Schwarzenegger wants to betaken seriously as both an impartial decision makeracting on his own convictions and as the world leaderin the fight against climate change, he will first haveto clean up the foul image created by the very exis-tence of his vast corps of big-money business contrib-utors.

NEW ORLEANS -- Even the fiercestcritics of the Episcopal Church’s liberaldrift say it’s too soon to know whether thebishops’ latest pledge to “exerciserestraint” in approving another gay bishopwill go far enough to help prevent anAnglican schism.

“It will take months and years to reallysee,” said Bishop Martyn Minns, wholeads a conservative network of breakawayEpiscopal parishes.

Overseas, people on both sides of thedebate registered their unhappinessWednesday. Some supporters of gay clergyaccused Episcopal leaders of caving in toconservatives led by African archbishops,while traditionalists criticized what theysaw as a cleverly worded declaration ofdefiance. The 77-million-member fellow-ship has been splintering since 2003, whenEpiscopalians consecrated the first openlygay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of NewHampshire. The Episcopal Church is theAnglican body in the U.S.

Episcopal bishops released their pledgeto “exercise restraint” Tuesday in the finalmoments of a six-day meeting -- and as thedecades-long debate over interpreting theBible threatens to shatter the worldAnglican Communion.

Anglican leaders had set a Sunday dead-line for the Americans to pledge unequivo-cally not to consecrate another gay bishopor approve an official prayer service forsame-sex couples. On Wednesday, the Rev.Colin Coward, director of ChangingAttitude England, said he believed thebishops had met the Anglican request.

“If conservatives continue to press forthe exclusion of the Episcopal Church,transgress provincial boundaries anddecide not to attend the LambethConference in 2008, they will take respon-sibility for provoking a tear in the Anglican

Communion and will have withdrawnfrom the our fellowship,” Coward said.

Martyn Minns, a former Episcopalpriest who was consecrated as a bishop inthe Church of Nigeria to serveEpiscopalians alienated from their ownbishops, said on Tuesday that the Americanbishops’ statement was “the totally wrongresponse.”

Archbishop of Canterbury RowanWilliams, the Anglican spiritual leader,took the unusual step of attending themeeting for the first two days, pushingbishops to make concessions for the sakeof unity. Anglican lay and clergy represen-tatives from overseas also participated,chastising Episcopal leaders for the turmoilthey’ve caused. Episcopal bishopsresponded by affirming a resolution passedlast year by the Episcopal GeneralConvention that urged bishops to “exerciserestraint” by not consenting to a candidatefor bishop “whose manner of life presentsa challenge” to Anglicans and the church.The promise falls short of an outright ban.

Episcopal leaders also promised theywouldn’t approve official prayers to blesssame-gender couples and insisted thatmost Episcopal bishops do not authorizethe ceremonies. However, it is widelyacknowledged that many individual priestsoffer blessings informally in their ownparishes and will continue to do so despiteTuesday’s pledge.

Williams and other Anglican leaderswill evaluate the bishops’ statement in thecoming weeks. But before he left NewOrleans, the archbishop of Canterburyplayed down the significance of theAnglican demands, saying “there is no ulti-matum involved.”

Canon Jim Naughton, a spokesman forthe Diocese of Washington, said the state-ment “reassures our partners in theAnglican Communion that we have takentheir concerns seriously.” However, Minns

said the bishops’ statement was “the totallywrong response,” and said manyEpiscopalians are already “voting withtheir feet.”

Four of the 110 Episcopal dioceses --Fort Worth, Texas; Pittsburgh; Quincy, Ill.;and San Joaquin, Calif. -- are taking stepsto split off from the national church andalign with an overseas Anglican church.And about 60 of the more than 7,000Episcopal parishes have left or have lost asignificant number of clergy and members,according to the national church.

Anglican leaders from Nigeria,Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and elsewherehave violated Anglican tradition that theyminister only within their own provincesand have consecrated bishops to overseebreakaway Episcopal congregations in theUnited States. In their statement Tuesday,bishops said they “deplore” the incursionsand “call for them to end.”

Conservative Bishop John Howe of theDiocese of Central Florida said the state-ment wouldn’t satisfy all Anglican leaders,but predicted “most will find it accept-able.” Howe is staying in the EpiscopalChurch, even though his diocese, based inOrlando, has rejected Episcopal PresidingBishop Katharine Jefferts Schori as aleader because she is liberal.

The next crucial event for the commu-nion will be the Lambeth Conference, inJuly in England. The once-a-decade meet-ing brings together all the bishops in theAnglican world. Whether Williams canpersuade bishops to attend will be a mea-sure of the strength of the communion.

Williams did not invite Robinson orMinns. But some Anglican prelates don’teven want to be at the same table asEpiscopalians who consecrated Robinson.Still, Robinson has been in private talkswith Williams to find a way he can attend,possibly as an observer.

SEATTLE — JordanReffett is, like many, in awe ofthe Southern CaliforniaTrojans.

As the Huskies seniordefensive end was explainingthis week how the talent of thetop-ranked Trojans was“ridiculous,” his eight-month-old daughter crawled across anearby couch. Little Kendall,wearing a purple WashingtonT-shirt and her blonde hair inpigtails with two purple ties,started turning the pages of abook: The Little Engine ThatCould.

The Huskies (2-2, 0-1 Pac-10) would love to be thatentering Saturday night’smeeting with the Trojans (3-0,1-0), who have won 59 oftheir last 63 games.Washington is a three-touch-down underdog at home.

“It’s ridiculous the amountof talent they have,” Reffettsaid. “It’s almost scary. Theyhave guys who can hurt you.”

Washington, which has lostconsecutively to Ohio Stateand UCLA since opening 2-0,has beaten a No. 1 team justonce in 10 tries.

That includes going 0-6and getting outscored 169-51against USC while the Trojanshave been top-ranked, datingto 1939.

On Jan. 2, 1961, theHuskies beat No. 1 Minnesotain the Rose Bowl.

These Huskies will bewearing the plain gold hel-mets and dark blue jerseys ofthat 1960 UW team Saturday,in an attempt to absorb someof that magic.

They’ll need it.

“Obviously the best team inthe country,” coach TyroneWillingham said of USC,which he has beaten just fourtimes in 12 tries while atWashington (0-2), NotreDame (0-3) and Stanford (4-3).

The Trojans are coming offa 47-14 victory overWashington State thatanswered concerns about theoffense being out-of-balanceduring a rushing rampage pastNebraska.

Second-year starting quar-terback John David Bootycompleted a career-best 28passes in 35 attempts for 279yards and four touchdownsagainst the Cougars.

The offense already had

emerging wide receivers suchas Patrick Turner and so manytalented running backs coachPete Carroll can’t explain howhe decides who plays. Thenlast week, tight end FredDavis caught nine passes for124 yards and two touch-downs — all career highs forthe senior.

“It helped us feel goodabout what we’re doing,”Carroll said of poundingWSU, as if he needed a pick-me-up.

Carroll is nitpicking aboutnot creating enough turnovers,giving the ball away too muchand committing too manypenalties.

Yet USC has won its firstthree games by a combined

134-55.“I think our offense is real-

ly ready to roll and be consis-tent,” he said. “And JohnDavid has been perfect in theposition of leading thisoffense.”

The Trojans may be miss-ing cornerback Cary Harrisand linebacker Brian Cushing,who are both injured, whenthey face Washington quarter-back Jake Locker.

Locker was excellent in a42-12 rout at Syracuse andthen a 24-10 upset of BoiseState. But UCLA and OhioState each used linebackers tospy Locker on most downsand that led to two consecu-tive losses and some spottyplay from the redshirt fresh-

man.The strong, speedy Locker

knows another opponent isabout to crowd his runs fromthe shotgun, spread offenseand dare him to throw it.

“Oh, definitely ... Come upwith some sort of scheme witha spy to take that runningaway from me,” Locker said.“There’s no excuse. I’ve got tomake those throws.”

Carroll gushed aboutLocker as if he’d rather havehim at USC. He tried, recruit-ing him three years ago out ofFerndale, Wash., High School.It became obvious earlyLocker was going to stayclose to home, spurn a lucra-tive chance at professionalbaseball and play football forWashington.

“I’m having trouble seeinganything else when I’m look-ing at them,” Carroll said ofLocker and the Huskies. “Sowe’re going to have to doeverything we can to slow himdown and keep him frombeing the factor that controlsthe football game. I think he’sthat good.

“It’s a lot to put on a kid,but this is a very, very, veryunique kid.”

Carroll said he’s glad this isjust Week 5 of Locker’scareer.

“In the years to come he’sgoing to be just a remarkableplayer,” Carroll said.“Fortunately we’re gettinghim in his first year.

“Get him in years two andthree, he’s going to be ridicu-lous.”

LOS ANGELES — Thetime has come for KobeBryant to end months ofsilence regarding the LosAngeles Lakers.

That’s assuming he joinshis teammates Monday atmedia day in suburban ElSegundo and then on the flightto Hawaii for the start of train-ing camp Tuesday.

Although Bryant is expect-ed, his spokespersonCatherine Sebring declinedcomment when asked abouthis plans, lending a bit ofintrigue.

Still, the Lakers are count-ing on him.

“Without mentioning spe-cific names, appropriate peo-ple in our organization havebeen in contact with Kobe,and we have no reason tobelieve he won’t be in Hawaiifor training camp,” teamspokesman John Black said.

A posting Friday onBryant’s Web site indicatedthe 29-year-old will be atcamp.

“The countdown to tipoff ison,” it began. “Summer isgone, fall is upon us and thatcan mean only one thing:NBA training camps are justaround the corner. While someteams are holding their mediadays today, the Lakers willinvite the media to their prac-tice facility on Monday andwill depart shortly after fortraining camp in Hawaii.

“kb24.com will be at mediaday to bring you the sights andsounds as the team prepares to

kick off the 2007-2008 sea-son.”

Bryant hasn’t said muchabout the Lakers since thosebizarre couple of days fourmonths ago when he calledthe team’s front office a messon a local sports talk radioshow, asked to be traded on anational show, backed off dur-

ing an emotional interview onyet another local show, thenreiterated his desire to playelsewhere.

The two-time defendingNBA scoring championpushed for an upgraded rosterafter the Lakers were elimi-nated by Phoenix in the firstround of the playoffs for the

second straight year lastspring.

It hasn’t happened.Unrestricted free agents

Luke Walton and Chris Mihmwere re-signed, and DerekFisher, a former Laker wasadded, which should improvethe backcourt. But an attemptto land Kevin Garnett fromMinnesota was unsuccessful,and nothing developed regard-ing Indiana’s JermaineO’Neal.

Bryant did apologize togeneral manager MitchKupchak for criticizing himand bemoaning the fact thatAndrew Bynum wasn’t tradedin a video recorded by threefans last spring and sold onthe Internet.

But Bryant declined to dis-cuss his situation with theLakers while playing for theUnited States earlier this sum-mer in the FIBA Americastournament. He was a key fac-tor in the USA’s triumph,landing the Americans a berthin the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The Lakers repeatedly havesaid they won’t trade Bryant,who has played his entire 10-year NBA career with them.He has four years remainingon the seven-year, $136.4 mil-lion contract he signed follow-ing the 2003-04 season —immediately after ShaquilleO’Neal was traded to Miami.Bryant can terminate the dealin two years.

The Lakers won threechampionships and reachedthe NBA finals for a fourthtime in O’Neal’s last fiveyears with them, but the bad

blood between O’Neal andBryant was well-chronicled.

Right before he asked to betraded, Bryant became infuri-ated when a Los AngelesTimes columnist quoted aLakers “insider” as saying itwas Bryant’s insistence ongetting away from O’Neal thatprompted his trade to Miami.

The Lakers haven’t won aplayoff series since O’Nealleft. They won 26 of their first39 games last season, but dueat least in part to severalinjuries, lost 27 of their final43 to finish 42-40.

Bryant said he feels teamowner Jerry Buss misled himright before he re-signed bytelling him one thing andcoach Phil Jackson somethingelse about the team’s goals.

Bryant said he was told theLakers would immediately tryto rejoin the NBA’s elite. Buthe said Jackson told himshortly before his request tobe traded that Buss was notbringing him back as coachfollowing the 2003-04 seasonbecause the team was commit-ted to reducing payroll andrebuilding long term.

Jackson returned after sit-ting out one season and isabout to begin the final year ofa three-year, $30 million con-tract.

He has been offered anextension but hasn’t made adecision regarding his futurebeyond this season.

Jackson said earlier thismonth that he agreed withBryant — the Lakers stillneeded more talent to competefor a championship.

Think of sports memorabil-ia, and those baseball cardsfrom childhood immediatelyspring to mind. It’s simple,nostalgic, a way to hold on toa much simpler time.

Then O.J. Simpson gotinvolved.

Simpson’s arrest almosttwo weeks ago in an armedholdup of sports memorabiliacollectors was a reminder ofjust how big a business col-lecting is.

And like every business,memorabilia collecting has itsshady characters.

“There’s an unsavory sideto any business, no matterwhat it is. It’s the nature ofbusiness,” said Josh Evans,chairman and founder ofLelands, an auction house inSeaford, N.Y. “Unfortunately,usually they kind of slip inbetween the shadows andbehind closed doors. Whensomething like this happens, itbrings them into the light.

“They’re a very small per-centage, only a few.”

According to police

reports, Simpson and severalother men went to a hotelroom at the Palace Stationcasino in Las Vegas on Sept.13 on the pretext of brokeringa deal with two longtime col-lectors. But once in the room,the collectors were ordered atgunpoint to hand over itemsincluding game balls signedby Simpson, framed awardsand plaques and Joe Montanalithographs.

Some of the items were val-ued at as much as $100,000.

Simpson insists the itemswere really his and had beenstolen from him earlier. Buthe’s facing multiple charges,including kidnapping andarmed robbery.

One of the collectors has acriminal record, as does theman who arranged the meet-ing with Simpson.

“When you’re not with theflagships of the industry, I’mnot real sure who you’re doingbusiness with,” said FBISpecial Agent TimFitzsimmons, the case agentfor Operation Bullpen, whichbroke up a nationwide net-work of forgers, authentica-

tors and sellers of sports andcelebrity memorabilia.

“It’s kind of like the oldaxiom, you get what you payfor.”

Although the Simpson casemight make the memorabiliaindustry seem less than legit,Fitzsimmons and others saynothing could be further fromthe truth. Most memorabilia isbought and sold throughagents or auction houses —companies whose multimil-lion dollar earnings are depen-dent on doing honest business.

They employ authentica-tors to make sure that ballreally was once hit by BabeRuth, and the signature on thattrading card really is TonyGwynn’s. If someone bringsthem something to sell, theyrequire a provenance, a papertrail that traces the item’sowners and history.

“You won’t last long in thisbusiness unless you’re beingfair with people,” said DanImler, managing director ofSCP Auctions, which recentlyauctioned off Barry Bonds756th home run ball.

“It’s all about earning peo-

ple’s trust and earning yourfuture business. Generally,those people that areunscrupulous don’t stickaround long.”

A problem the industrydoes have is with forgeries orfake memorabilia. BeforeOperation Bullpen, the FBIestimated that much of the“vintage” memorabilia — pic-tures, autographs, bats, balls— were fake.

Athletes would comeacross autographed pictures ofthemselves and have no ideawhose signature was on it.Jerseys passed off as authenticwere no more unique than theones on sale at the mall.

“There were one of two ofthem that were just peoplerunning a criminal businessout of their bedroom, more orless,” Fitzsimmons said ofthose arrested in OperationBullpen. “If you’ve got a com-puter and a pen and a bunch ofitems to forge, you’re in busi-ness.”

But as the FBI was con-ducting its investigation in thelate 1990s, athletes, sportsleagues and collectibles deal-

ers began taking action oftheir own.

Items were marked withunique, tamperproof markingsto ensure their authenticity.When Barry Bonds was chas-ing Hank Aaron for the all-time home run record thissummer, Major LeagueBaseball used speciallymarked balls for Bonds’ at-bats. Thirty years from now,there will be no questionabout whether a ball reallywas No. 756 — and notbecause the guy who bought ithas decided to stick an aster-isk on it.

Auction houses and dealersemployed authenticators tomake sure pieces were legitand signatures were real.Athletes signed with compa-nies so there would be onlyone source for their memora-bilia. Want an autographedpicture of Tiger Woods win-ning the 2006 British Open?Unless he gave you one him-self, you’ll have to get it fromUpper Deck.

“I would say the majorityof stuff out there being solddirectly to the public, the

majority is authentic,” saidDoug Allen, president ofMastro Auctions in BurrRidge, Ill.

“It’s not bad auction housesout there,” he added. “Whatthere are is bad people tryingto get things past auctionhouses and authenticators. Doyou have any idea of howmany Babe Ruth baseballs weturn down? A lot more thanwe sell.”

Fitzsimmons agreed, say-ing counterfeits and forgeriesin sports collectibles havedropped significantly in recentyears.

Now the problem is withHollywood and celebritymemorabilia, Fitzsimmonssaid.

One ugly incident likeSimpson’s, though, and thewhole sports memorabiliaindustry is suspect again.

“This has really nothing todo with validation of sportsmemorabilia. This was aboutsomebody taking the law intotheir own hands,” Evans said.“Not great guys want to dealwith not great guys. That’s theproblem.”

Simpson case exposes the shady side of memorabilia collecting

EUGENE, Ore. —California’s strategy for stop-ping Oregon quarterbackDennis Dixon? Rattle him.

It worked last year whenthe Golden Bears interceptedDixon’s first pass in Berkeleyand went on to a 45-24 victo-ry.

Perhaps the same will suc-ceed Saturday when the No.11 Ducks host sixth-rankedCal (4-0, 1-0 Pac-10).

“I feel like we’re already inhis head before we even start-ed. Any quarterback, you canalways get into his head if youtry,” said Bears safetyBrandon Hampton, who inter-cepted that first pass.

Cal picked off Dixon threetimes in the game a seasonago. Oregon (4-0, 1-0) wenton to lose five of its next eightgames, and Dixon wasbenched in favor of BradyLeaf in the final regular sea-son game against OregonState.

Then Dixon took off to playbaseball with the AtlantaBraves organization duringthe summer, leaving some to

question his commitment tothe team.

But the talented seniorrejoined the Ducks this falland embraced new offensivecoordinator Chip Kelly’sspeedy, no-huddle, spread-option schemes.

Now four victories into theseason, Dixon has thrown for11 touchdowns and no inter-ceptions. He’s run for fourmore scores, including a fakedStatue of Liberty play againstMichigan at the Big House.

He ranks fourth in thenation in passing efficiencyand leads the league in totaloffense, with an average ofnearly 306 yards.

“His running and his confi-dence is impressive. He givesthem a chance to win everygame, even more so than lastyear, I think. They spread theoffense, and then Dixon getshis rushes,” Hampton said.“It’s kind of sneaky.”

That said, California’sdefense will turn up the pres-sure on Dixon.

“You put enough hits on aguy, he’ll get rattled, no mat-ter who he is. That’s not to sayhe’s soft, because he gets up

from every hit I’ve seen, butyou can rattle any guy,” line-backer Worrell Williams said.

The Golden Bears are

ranked fourth in the Pac-10 intotal defense (361 yards), withthe linebackers leading theway.

They’ve combined for 132tackles, 5.5 sacks, four forcedfumbles and an interception.However, they will be without

Zack Follett, who has a neckstinger.

Cal’s defense has scoredtwice on fumble recoveries.

Dixon is well aware ofCal’s defense — it did stinghim last year, after all.

“They’re a great team andyou can never underestimate adefense, to tell you the truth.You never know what they’regoing to throw at you,” hesaid. “You have to anticipatethe hard and react to the easy.”

The Ducks have a seven-game winning streak againstCal at Autzen Stadium. Calcoach Jeff Tedford, formeroffensive coordinator forOregon, has yet to win inEugene with the Bears.

The last Cal road winagainst the Ducks came in1987.

“This will be definitely thetoughest game we’ve playedso far,” Hampton said. “I feelthat every week is a toughgame, but this game is moreimportant because we havethat rivalry with Oregon. Theyhave a great team, and I’msure they will be in the run-ning for the Pac-10 towardsthe end of the season.”

LONDON — If theAnaheim Ducks and LosAngeles Kings needed anotherreason to get physical, playingeach other in London may bethe perfect excuse.

With the NHL making itsregular-season debut Saturdayand Sunday in the British cap-ital, fans await a firsthandlook of one of the league’s

trademarks — rink-rattlinghits and at least a couple offights.

The Ducks and Kings aremore than happy to oblige.

“We’re crosstown rivals,and we really don’t like eachother,” Kings coach MarcCrawford said. “Our gamesare spirited, and I think that’swhat fans like. ... And ourplayers, you never have toworry about if they’re ready

for these games.”Ducks winger George

Parros, who has never beenafraid to drop his gloves onthe ice, said he wouldn’t besurprised to see a brawl at thesold-out O2 Arena.

“Some guys might getexcited, and I’m sure they’relooking forward to get a riseout of the crowd,” said Parros,who racked up 102 penaltyminutes in 34 games last sea-

son. “I think, it being the firstgame of the season. There’sgoing to be some high energy,big hits, and things could getinteresting.”

The NHL is taking its sea-son opener to Europe as partof an effort to expand its over-seas market. So instead ofopening its Stanley Cupdefense at home at The Pond,Anaheim had to travel acrossthe pond for the home-and-

home series against LosAngeles.

“It’s a little bit hard, butwe’re trying to make the mostof it,” Ducks captain ChrisPronger said. “Initially wewere all kind of upset to comehere, we didn’t really want to.... But it’s certainly an honorfor us to be over here trying tomarket the game to a newgroup of fans who hopefullywill become die-hard NHL

fans.”There’s more at stake,

though, than just being good-will ambassadors.

Anaheim is looking toremain a force in the WesternConference while also adjust-ing to playing without topdefenseman Scott Nieder-meyer, last season’s playoffMVP, and Teemu Selanne.Both have yet to decidewhether to return or retire.

SCOREBOARDBy JOSH DUBOWAP Sports Writer

STANFORD — JimHarbaugh has coached twogames in the Pac-10 forStanford and has alreadylearned a lesson about how thegame is played in the high-scoring conference.

“You’re really seeing itfrom our conference,”Harbaugh said. “It’s a verypotent conference offensively.It’s a great challenge for ourdefense.”

It’s one Stanford (1-2, 0-2)has not been up to so far, hav-ing allowed 50 points andmore than 600 yards per gamein losses to UCLA andOregon.

Things don’t figure to getmuch easier for the Cardinalon Saturday when they hostNo. 23 Arizona State (4-0, 1-0). New coach DennisErickson has the Sun Devilsback in the Top 25 after fourgames. Arizona State is thefourth school Erickson hasguided into the rankings,

along with Washington State,Miami and Oregon State.

But he knows he has plentymore work to do to build aconsistent winner, startingwith winning the team’s firstroad game of the year.”

“We can’t afford to over-look anybody,” Erickson said.“We’re not to that level by anymeans. You can take eight ornine teams in our league andthey’re all pretty close.Anybody could beat anybody.Our team knows that. Wehaven’t accomplished any-thing here in a long time.We’ve won four footballgames. We’re 1-0 in the Pac-10. That’s it.”

Arizona State is averaging39 points and has shown theability to bounce back fromslow starts on the way to itsthird 4-0 start since 1982.

The Sun Devils trailedOregon State 19-0 in the firstquarter last week before com-ing back to win 44-32. Theyalso rallied from an early 14-point deficit to Colorado on

Sept. 8 before scoring thefinal 33 points of the game.

The Cardinal have beenshredded defensively byUCLA and Oregon, but shutout San Jose State in theironly nonconference game.

Stanford played UCLAclose for almost three quartersand used a 28-point secondquarter to take a 31-24 half-time lead last week againstNo. 11 Oregon. But theCardinal are still seeking theirfirst conference win undertheir new coach.

“He has them going in theright direction,” Ericksonsaid. “They had a chanceagainst Oregon and playedwell against UCLA. You canjust see a marked differencefrom last year.”

Finishing games has beenthe problem, as Stanford hasbeen outscored 62-10 in thesecond half of its two confer-ence losses. Last year,Stanford was rarely even com-petitive in games, gettingblown out repeatedly.

No. 23 Arizona State visits Stanford

By JAY COHENAP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Mets man-ager Willie Randolph stead-fastly proclaimed his belief inhis team’s heart as its leadevaporated in the NL East.

Now its mettle is reallygoing to be tested.

The spiraling Mets man-aged just three hits in a 3-0loss to the St. Louis Cardinalson Thursday night thatdropped them into a first-place tie with Philadelphia inthe division.

“We’re tied now, so nowwe’ve got three games to get itdone,” Randolph said. “That’sthe way baseball goes and wekind of made our own bedhere so we’ve got to fightthrough this.”

Not even Pedro Martinezcould save New York, whichhad led the division aloneevery day since May 16.Randolph quickly tried to liftthe players’ spirits after the

game, delivering what hecalled a positive message dur-ing a brief team meeting.

“I have got a lot of confi-dence in my guys and they’veshown me before they canstep up,” Randolph said.

The Mets (87-72) wereahead by seven games with 17remaining but have lost 10 of14 overall and seven straightat home, a monumental tail-spin for a team that countedon being in the playoffs.

“I think we’re due to havesomething special happen tous because in the time I’vebeen here I don’t think we’vehad a little stretch playinggames like that and kind ofgetting away from us thateasy,” Martinez said. “So I’mexpecting something good tohappen.”

No major league team hasfailed to finish first after hav-ing at least a seven-game leadwith 17 to play. But with three

games remaining in the regu-lar season — a weekend seriesat home against Florida — theMets might fail to win thedivision or qualify as the wildcard.

“There’s two choices: Rollover and start making vaca-tion plans for the offseason, orbattle like hell and win thisthing,” Mets third basemanDavid Wright said. “We stillfeel like this is our division.”

The latest loss was inflictedby the Cardinals, who beat theMets in Game 7 of the NLchampionship series last year.St. Louis went 12-17 downthe stretch last year, squeakedinto the playoffs and went onto beat the Detroit Tigers inthe World Series.

“I think there’s some simi-larities but it’s hard to gobeyond there,” Cardinalsmanager Tony La Russa said.“I know they’re a very goodteam that right now is workinghard for a win.”

Dear Annie: I just discovered my husbandhas a son by an old flame who was “the love ofhis life.” The baby was born shortly after wemarried 36 years ago.

My husband wants me to stop living in thepast (he has had at least three affairs) and let itgo. The thing is, I can’t. It consumes me and Ican’t think of anything else. I have left him acouple of times but always came back. I’m notsure I’m going to get over this one. I have beenin counseling, but it may not be enough. Whatcan I do? -- Knoxville, Tenn.

Dear Knoxville: We know this betrayalseems brand new to you and that it means yourhusband has a child with a woman you still feelthreatened by. But he cannot undo the past, nomatter how painful, so think carefully aboutwhat you expect from him. After you have hadtime to absorb the shock of this revelation anddiscuss it with a counselor, you will have a bet-ter idea of what decisions you need to make.

Dear Annie: When my family gets together,

we like to go to a restaurant so no one has tocook. The problem is, my brother, “Vic,” andhis wife, “Vera,” can never take care of theirown bill. They are hurt if we don’t tell them wewent out, but when we do tell them, they saythey “won’t be eating” because they don’t havethe money. Or worse, they show up, eat andexpect someone to treat them.

This puts us in an awkward position. Once,my sister generously gave them a pre-deter-mined amount to cover their meals. Vera usedthe money to order a lot of appetizers and thencomplained how everyone else was eating andshe only had salad and breadsticks. Even whenwe have meals at someone’s house, Vera likes

to take all the leftovers, often without asking. Ihave a family of five and could use those left-overs, too.

Vic and Vera are not poor, just living beyondtheir means. We see them going on trips, butwhen it is time to pay their share of a restaurantbill, they are suddenly broke, waiting for some-one to rescue them.

We have offered to make plans after dinnerthat don’t involve money, but should we con-tinue to tell them about our restaurant outings?-- Against Chronic Mooching in Illinois

Dear Illinois: The next time the familyplans to go out for dinner, tell Vic about it, butmake it clear that no one can afford to keeptreating the two of them, and if they don’t thinkthey can pay their own bill, they might preferto join you after dinner. If Vic and Vera cometo the restaurant anyway, none of you shouldfeel obligated to cover their tab. In fact, wesuggest you discuss this with the other familymembers in advance so you can present a unit-ed front. Vic and Vera will stop moochingwhen you stop allowing it.

Dear Annie: I was interested in the letterfrom “Happy in New York.” He’s very under-standing for a cross-dresser in that he listenedto his wife and reserves this behavior for whenshe is not at home.

I, too, am married to a cross-dresser, andsince he came out to me, our sex life has beenzilch. I have asked him to save his cross-dress-ing for when I’m not home, but he ignores me.Worse, he says he doesn’t feel romantic unlesshe’s in women’s clothing -- which is a big turn-off to me.

Don’t suggest counseling. He won’t go andI’ve gone alone. I just wish he were as under-standing as “Happy in New York.” --Disappointed Wife

Dear Disappointed: Not all women candeal with a cross-dressing husband, and yourssounds particularly inconsiderate. Counselingreally can help if you give it time, although it’spossible the counselor you originally saw wasnot a good match for you. Please try again. Youneed ongoing help.

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.

By MARTIN CRUTSINGERAP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON —Consumers shrugged off sag-ging home prices and finan-cial market turmoil in Augustto push up spending by a bet-ter-than-expected amount.

In other good news, a keyinflation gauge showed pricepressures outside of food andenergy eased further lastmonth and construction activ-ity rose, thanks to continuedstrength outside of housing.

The batch of new reportsFriday offered some reassur-ance that the current econom-ic expansion will not bederailed by the continuedtroubles in housing and thesevere credit crunch thatroiled financial markets lastmonth. Consumer spending,which accounts for two-thirdsof total economic activity, isconsidered the key to whetherthe country avoids a reces-sion.

The CommerceDepartment reported that con-sumer spending rose by 0.6percent in August, the bestshowing in four months andbetter than the 0.4 percentincrease that had been expect-ed. Inflation-adjusted spend-ing was also up 0.6 percent,

the best showing for this mea-sure in 10 months.

“So far, the housing andcredit problems have not dent-ed the consumer’s armor,”said Joel Naroff, chief econo-mist at Naroff EconomicAdvisors. “This was a goodreport as household spendingstayed up while inflationcame down.”

An inflation gauge tied toconsumer purchases showedprices excluding food andenergy rose by just 1.8 percentin August, compared to a yearago. That was the slowestyear-over-year price increasesince February 2004. Itmarked the third straightmonth that core inflation hasbeen inside the Fed’s comfortzone of 1 percent to 2 percentincreases.

The Fed last week cut a key

interest rate by a bolder-than-expected half point in aneffort to ward off a recession,a reversal from the stance theytook at their previous meetingin August when they had con-tinued to insist that inflation,not economic weakness,remained the economy’sbiggest threat.

While many economistsbelieve the Fed will cut ratesagain in October, some ana-lysts said that reduction maybe a smaller quarter-pointmove because the spendingreport had shown unexpectedstrength.

By The Chico Enterpirse-Recordand The Associated Press

OROVILLE - A gunmanwho had held hostages at LasPlumas High School for twohours Friday surrendered toauthorities. Apparently no onewas injured in the incident.

At about 10:40 a.m. ButteCounty sheriff’s officialsannounced the student suspecthad been taken into custody.

Immediately prior to hissurrender, the gunmanreleased two female studentsfrom the campus bandroom,where he had held hostagessince about 8:30 a.m.

At about that time the sus-pect fired a revolver twiceinside the bandroom.

Initially, he had more thantwo dozen hostages, includingat least one teacher.

As the drama unfolded,Nazarene Church, situatedacross a field from LasPlumas, was used as a gather-ing place for parents to reunitewith their kids, as well as anincident command center formedia, law enforcement andcrisis volunteers.

As scores of parents scur-ried about, one parent, RobertRoberts, was extremely closeto the situation.

The alleged gunman, 17-year-old Greg Wright, isRoberts' stepson, the tearfulparent said.

Wright’s involvement hadnot been confirmed by lawenforcement by 1:30 p.m., buthe had also been identified byparents of students who werein the bandroom.

“The school called me,”Roberts said, as he milledabout in front of the churchalong with scores of other par-ents at about 10:30 a.m. “Theytold me to come down in casethere was anything I could doto help. I heard he had a gun.”

Roberts had yet to speak toWright at the time, butbelieved his wife and step-daughter were called in tohelp the negotiation team. Thestepdaughter, Tasha Wright, isa year younger than Greg, andalso goes to Las Plumas,Roberts said.

“I know he had been in alittle trouble in school, butI’ve never seen anything like

this,” Roberts said. Roberts said the boy spent a

few years in Oklahoma beforereturning to this area last year.He said it was his understand-ing Wright broke up with hisgirlfriend a few days ago andthat he was upset about it,though he couldn’t speculatethat this incident was connect-ed to the breakup.

After hearing news thatWright was in custody,Roberts said, “Well, they gothim. Everybody’s safe andhe’s safe.”

Before the gunman wastaken into custody, sheriff’sofficials began negotiatingwith the student by telephone.LP was immediately put intolockdown and the sheriff’sSWAT unit deployed.

Over the intervening hours,the suspect released studentsfrom the bandroom.

A reporter from theEnterprise-Record reported acheer went up from the par-ents at the Nazarene Churchwhen word was passed tothem the crisis had ended.

Sheriff’s officials reported

all of the hostages had beenaccounted for and there wereno injuries.

Besides LP, both theOroville Elementary SchoolDistrict and the PalermoSchool District were also inlockdown, even though therewere no specific threats inthose locations.

In the classroomTurbo Her, an 18-year-old

senior who was in the dramaclass where the incident tookplace, said other students inthe class initially thought itwas a joke. “I said, ’Oh no,this is a real gun,”’ Her said.

He said the student firedone shot into the ceiling.Authorities said at least twoshots were fired from the .22-caliber handgun the boy wascarrying.

“The girls were crying andhysterical,” Her said. “Hewanted to scare them, to letthem know it’s real. The girlswere freaking out.”

Eventually, the student toldhis classmates that “anyonewho’s scared can leave,” and

about 26 students left.Smith said during a press

briefing that three girls werekept behind in the class, butauthorities did not know whythey were chosen.

Sheriff’s deputies took theboy for questioning after hegave up and placed him incustody at Butte County juve-nile hall, where he wouldremain at least until his firstcourt appearance, authoritiessaid.

He said the boy told stu-dents he did not want to hurtthem and just needed to hideout for a bit. At least two stu-dents talked with family mem-bers by cell phone while theywere being held hostage, Lt.Al Smith said.

Candace Carey, 18, said shewas in algebra class next doorto the classroom where stu-dents were taken hostage. Shesaid she and her classmatescrawled out a window to flee.

“My teacher, he could seethe guy with the gun,” shesaid.

Kathy Lix, a 16-year-oldsenior, said she was in anEnglish class when she heard

a terse announcement.“It was just, ’It’s a lock-

down; everyone get in yourclass,”’ she said. “We had noidea what was going on.”

She said the substitutedrama teacher came into theroom and told the studentsthat he had been in the class-room where the hostages werebeing held.

“He said the kid pulled outa gun and then let some ofthem leave,” Lix said.

Amanda Saelee, a 15-year-old junior, said her Americanhistory teacher locked theclassroom doors after anannouncement came over theschool loudspeaker warningstudents to stay in their class-rooms.

“It wasn’t too scarybecause there were so manypolice” on campus in responseto the incident, she said.

they’re allowed to do to passthe time.

McCartney’s 8-hour-per-week salary is paid for fromthe inmate’s welfare fundwhich is collected from thesnack foods they buy insidethe jail.

She also teaches nutritionclasses and Sheriff Allmansaid he hopes to be able toexpand her hours overall.

Beyond an annual garden,McCartney has planted citrustrees that will, it is hoped,provide oranges, lemons and

limes at the jail. And, she hopes to make

the jail garden and its green-house a propagating center toprovide plants for other com-munity gardens.

Gardening with inmates isdifferent from other commu-nity groups McCartney hasinteracted with, in that thewomen come and go - andcome and go. Harrington, forinstance, has been working inthe garden for a month, andhas 24 days left in her sen-tence, while Gallegos hasonly worked in the garden afew days and is due to trans-fer to a program in Eureka.

For McCartney then, theprocess is one of simply

teaching these women whatthey need to know to work inthe garden the days they arethere.

And, she notes, whilemany women never get to seethe fruits - or, ahem, vegeta-bles - of their labors, sadlysome are back in jail in timefor harvest.

McCartney said manylocal people donated to thegarden including Dripworksin Willits, Beehman’s Bloomsin Boonville, North AmericanOrganics, Frey Vineyards andthe Mendocino OrganicNetwork.
