The Food and Drug Administrationannounced Thursday it does not support themedical use of marijuana.

In a statement with other agencies withinthe department of Health and Human Services,the FDA said it had “concluded that no soundscientific studies supported medical use ofmarijuana for treatment in the United Statesand no animal or human data supported thesafety or efficacy of marijuana for generalmedical use.”

The statement is a contradiction of the 1999findings from the Institute of Medicine, a partof the National Academy of Sciences, whichsaid marijuana’s active components could beeffective in treating pain, nausea, the anorexiaassociated with AIDS wasting and other symp-toms.

The institute suggested marijuana be rigor-ously tested in clinical trials to determine theeffectiveness of the drug.

Ukiah Morrison, a representative for the

FDA says there’s no medicalbenefit to use of marijuana


Drugs, money and the classifica-tion of deputy district attorneys wereall hot topics among the three candi-dates for district attorney at theFriday lunch hosted by theMendocino County EmployersCouncil.

I n c u m b e n tDistrict AttorneyNorman Vroman,in keeping withhis low-key cam-paign, made onlya brief statementto the council.

“You knowwho I am; youknow what I do,”Vroman said.

C a n d i d a t e sMyron Sawickiand MeredithLintott both madenote of their longservice in theDistrict Attorney’sOffice. Lintottspent 10 years inthe office beforegoing into privatepractice, andSawicki workedthere for morethan 20 yearsbefore resigningearlier this year.

Lintott has alsospent 10 yearsworking in civillaw in the privatesector. She saidher varied experi-ence with the lawgives her a uniqueand valuable per-spective on howthe office shouldbe run. She saidthe office was inneed of new vision and direction.

“It is my commitment to bringethical leadership to the DA’sOffice,” Lintott said.

Sawicki also noted that he feltthere were problems within theoffice and said he is the person capa-ble of solving them.

“I’m coming to the office with theright attitude, There’s no thronethere; there’s no glory in this,” hesaid.

Sawicki pointed to the attempt bycounty attorneys to be reclassified ascivil servants as an indication of the“mutiny” occurring within the office.

EMPLOYERS COUNCILThree DAcontenderssquare offValley Oaks garden

won’t be using themBy K.C. MEADOWSThe Daily Journal

There won’t be any vegeta-bles growing in the five-acreorganic garden at Fetzer ValleyOaks this spring.

But there will be plenty ofvegetables in gardens at areaschools.

Kate Frey, gardener for theorganic garden at Valley Oaksfor 20 years, decided to giveaway the thousands of seedlingsshe had started in her green-house now that Valley Oaks inHopland is closing.

Frey contacted the nutritionand gardening coordinators atarea schools and offered theseedlings to them for students’gardens this year.

On Friday, gardening teachersbrowsed through rows of heir-loom tomatoes in two dozenvarieties, lots of peppers frommild to spicy, herbs, gourds,flowers, native grasses and evenalpine strawberries in both redand white.

Frey supplied the pots, soiland even garden ID sticks.

“We’re having fun,” Freysaid, as she moved trays ofseedlings into place. “It’s goodto see people happy.”

Karen Zimmerman, whoworks with Frey in the garden,helped identify plants for theteachers and get them moved outof the greenhouse.

“The school kids are going tohave a great year,” she said.

Cheri Charles, who this yearis helping with gardening at ele-mentary schools in Willits, wasdelighted with the selection.

She said she was looking forvegetable starts mostly, especial-ly the rare heirloom varieties.

Linda Cushman, who helpsgarden at Pomolita MiddleSchool, was looking also forlandscaping flowers and plantsfor the campus.

“There are some areas wherenothing’s been planted for 20years,” she said, adding thateven vegetable plants -- like arti-chokes -- make good landscap-ing material.

The Pomolita vegetable gar-den is in the back of the schoolby the school bus sheds,Cushman explained.

“The kids do all the work,”

she said.Cushman said it costs about

$1,000 a year per school garden,so many schools have taken toselling their plants or their cropsto keep the projects going.

Thousands of dollars raisedby TV chef Emeril Lagasse athigh-end auction/dinners atFetzer Valley Oaks in years pastare running out, Cushman said.

Also on hand was TerryMcCartney, who is planting agarden at the Buddy EllerHomeless Shelter in Ukiah thisyear.

She plans to have close to anacre planted to begin with, andFriday was carefully picking outtomatoes, peppers, herbs andgreens. She hopes to be able tosupply lots of salsa, spaghettisauce and greens for the shel-ter’s meals.

McCartney said the homelessshelter will also have a Saturdayvegetable market at the shelterto raise funds to keep the pro-gram going.

People working court-orderedcommunity service and alsothose in employment trainingprograms through the FordStreet Center will help in thegarden, she said.

“It’s a big project,” she saidwith a big smile. McCartney,who is primarily trained as ahorticulturist, looked around thegreenhouse and said she wassaddened that Frey’s years of

cultivating special seeds andkeeping such a vast variety ofvegetables and plants going, areat an end.

Gardener shares seedlings


Four days after Rebecca Huston wasfound under a pile of garbage at Solid WasteManagement of Ukiah, police in Californiaand Washington still have little informationabout the man she says kidnapped her.

“We don’t know anything that we didn’tknow yesterday,” said Mendocino Sheriff’sCapt. Kurt Smallcomb.

Huston’s car, which was found in the Pear

Tree shopping center, where she said she wasforced into a dumpster, has been processedfor latent prints and other evidence. The fin-gerprint evidence will be sent to aDepartment of Justice lab in Sacramento,where it will be matched against a nationalfingerprint database, Smallcomb said.

Huston has been unable to provide agreater description of the man she said held

National Organization toReform Marijuana Laws, saidthe FDA announcement wasironic in light of the 1999finding by the Institute ofMedicine and said the FDA’sannouncement was political.

“The FDA is protectingtheir interests, which is whatwe expect,” Morrison said.

The FDA announcementalso noted that “there is cur-rently sound evidence thatsmoked marijuana is harmful”and that “there are alternativeFDA approved medications inexistence for the treatment ofthe proposed uses of smokedmarijuana.”

A number of states, includ-ing California, have passedlaws that allow marijuana for

medical use. In 2000,Mendocino County becamethe first county to legalize thegrowing of marijuana formedicinal purposes.

John McCowen, a UkiahCity Council member, said hedidn’t think the announce-ment would have much effecton the use of medical marijua-na in Mendocino County.

“We’re being pretty restric-tive as is,” McCowen said.

He said the city would con-tinue to focus on unregulatedgrowers.

Morrison said NORMLplanned to use the announce-ment as an opportunity to edu-cate the public on the manyuses of cannabis.

“We’re looking forward tothe opportunity,” he said.

Smallcomb said Huston’slack of information could bedue to trauma-induced amne-sia or the hypothermia Hustonsuffered from being exposedto the cold overnight afterreportedly being ordered intoa dumpster by the man who

allegedly abducted her. “I have no reason to say

that this didn’t happen,”Smallcomb said. “We have tobelieve our victims until wesee evidence otherwise.”

Huston is recovering atUkiah Valley Medical Center,where she is described asbeing in good condition.

Early information from theKennewick PoliceDepartment appeared to callsome details of Huston’s storyinto question. Early reportssaid that Huston had with-drawn $500 from her bankaccount a few days before shewas reportedly abducted. Thislater turned out not to be the

Detective Sgt. RandyMaynard said further investi-gation revealed that themoney was transferredbetween Huston’s accountsand not withdrawn.

Maynard said he waspleased with the cooperationhe has been getting from theMendocino County Sheriff’sOffice and was looking for-ward to reading the MCSOreports when they arrive.

Dalai Lama, at famed Mayo, touts compassion’s role in health

ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) — The Dalai Lama followed upa routine medical exam at the Mayo Clinic with an address to300 employees of the renowned health care institution, tellingthem that love, forgiveness and tolerance can help a body heal.

“If the mind is dominated by negative emotions,” he said,“then there is no possibility to develop compassion, kindness,forgiveness and tolerance” and the resulting peace of mindthose virtues bring.

RELIGION BRIEFSBy GILLIAN FLACCUSThe Associated Press

LOS ANGELES -- It was1906 when William Seymour,the son of slaves, traveled to asmall church to preach thatspeaking in tongues was theultimate path to salvation. Thecongregation rejected his mes-sage and promptly kicked himout.

But that wasn’t the end ofthe story.

Committed to his belief,Seymour started his ownprayer group -- first at afriend’s house and then at anabandoned church in northeastLos Angeles. Within weeks,people of all races werestreaming to the City of Angelsto see the services where wor-shippers fell to the ground anduttered strange, unintelligiblesounds.

The boisterous, three-yearrevival that followed madeinternational headlines and iswidely credited as the birth ofmodern-day Pentecostalism.The movement, once relegatedto the theological fringe, nowclaims up to 600 million fol-lowers worldwide and remainsone of the fastest-growing sec-tors of Christianity, accordingto Vinson Synan, dean ofRegent University’s School ofDivinity and an ordained min-ister of the PentecostalHoliness Church.

Starting this weekend, up to60,000 followers will descendon Los Angeles to mark themovement’s 100th birthday, acelebration that begins with avisit to the street corner wherethe revival church once stood.The Azusa Street location, nowin the heart of Little Tokyo,bears a commemorativeplaque.

“We see the centennial as ahomecoming for the move-ment, a wonderful memory ofwhat God did 100 years ago,”

said the Rev. Billy Wilson,executive director of theCenter for Spiritual Renewal,the celebration’s sponsor. “Wewant to show the world thatPentecostals are about morethan just feeling good andspeaking in tongues.”

Pentecostals believe in apersonalized commitment toChrist and a second experienceknown as “baptism in the HolySpirit.” That baptism is mostcommonly accompanied byspeaking in tongues, thoughother “gifts” from the HolySpirit can include faith healing,the casting out of demons andmodern-day prophecies.Followers base the practice onActs 2:1-4, in which Jesus’apostles were “filled with theHoly Spirit and began to speakin other tongues, as the Spiritgave them utterance.”

Mainline Christians hadrejected speaking in tonguesfor more than a thousand years,believing that the Holy Spirit’sgift stopped with the apostles.But when Seymour came to

Los Angeles in 1906, condi-tions were ripe for the long-forgotten message.

The rough-edged town of240,000 residents had doubledits population in just six years,and the city sprouted so manynew churches that modern-dayexperts have called it an“American Jerusalem.”

Hundreds of Christianswere so concerned about thefreewheeling mentality of therapidly growing city that theyhad broken away from main-stream denominations to prayfor a massive spiritual revival.

Those concerns reached afever pitch on April 18 -- justfive weeks after Seymour’sarrival -- when San Franciscowas rocked by a massive earth-quake. Many saw the quake asa sign of the apocalypse.

The same day as the disas-ter, a major Los Angeles news-paper published a front-pagestory about Seymour’s strangeprayer meetings -- all-nightservices so rowdy that twopolicemen were posted full

time at the church to keeporder. The story bore the head-line “Weird Babel of Tongues:New Sect of Fanatics isBreaking Loose.”

Soon, all eight major news-papers were covering therevival, as were religiousnewspapers called “holinesscirculars” that were passedamong evangelical churchesnationwide. Word spreadacross the nation -- and thenthe world -- about the massiverevival under way in LosAngeles.

One of the revival’s mostnotable characteristics, expertssay, was that blacks and whitesworshipped under the sameroof and shared pastoral duties.

“At its height, it drew peo-ple from all classes, wealthyand poor, Hispanics, blacks,Jews -- you name it, everybodycame,” said Synan. “Wholechurches collapsed and joinedit. There was a force there, itwas almost supernatural.People said they could feel it inthe air from about three blocksaway.”

Within eight months, nearly20 missionaries from therevival struck out for Africa,India and China to startPentecostal churches, saidCecil M. Robeck Jr., professorof church history and ecumen-ics at Fuller TheologicalSeminary in Pasadena.

Revival attendees alsoestablished Pentecostalchurches across the South andthe Midwest, including thePentecostal Holiness Church,the Church of God inCleveland, Tenn., and theChurch of God in Christ inMemphis.

Pentecostalism’s influencecan also be felt in other evan-gelical churches, particularlyin the music and worship styleof megachurches, Synan said.

4 – SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 2006


From the desk of...

Start setting an exampleTo the Editor:In the April 4 article “What are

schools doing about drugs on the cam-pus?” Vicki McCallum gave us someexcellent suggestions for ways to keepdrugs off our campuses. In April 8th’s“Drug dog locker searches OK’d” BobHarper of Willits called this decision “anopportunity to give students a wonderfulgift.” It is clear to me that two and a halfyears after the loss of her son, Vicki is try-ing to give that same gift to my studentsat Ukiah High School. How can we failher again, as a community with concernsfor the rights people have? What rightdoes a person have to bring a vehicle withdrugs in it to our high school? Was it nother right to have the controlled substancethat killed her 16-year-old controlled?One must wonder what is wrong in acommunity where all sorts of controlledsubstances are available to the very peoplewe are called to protect from them. As aparent and a teacher I won’t soon forgetour senior telling us about the free flow ofpainkillers among his classmates twoyears ago or that when we inquired aboutthe source that he speculated that it mustbe from parents. Could the very peoplethat carried him on wonderful field tripsas a younger man now be willing to sup-ply his friends with another kind of“mind-expanding” experience? I remem-ber being very glad that we were onanother college visitation and that hecould not see my reaction from the backseat of the car. I really wanted to believehe was wrong. But is it really so impossi-ble to imagine when it was in other peo-ple’s homes that he had his first experi-ence with drugs? With alcohol? Withother dangerous experiences? Are we col-lectively abandoning our greatest treasuresto some poorly constructed argument thatit is hypocritical to stop them from doingthe same things that we did when we weretheir ages? That “we” continue to do inthe privacy of our homes? Do we under-stand how vulnerable this leaves our kids?What has happened to the idea that it is aparent’s responsibility to protect theirminor child? That it is the community’slaws that protect the community? Are weall so enamored of rebelling for rebel-lion’s sake that we are willing to turn ourkids over to the crushing peer pressure ofthese times? To the alcohol a surrogate,available in the parking lots on Friday andSaturday nights, provides in exchange for

a cut of the purchase? We owe it to ourkids to be grown-ups that are willing tofight to make this community a saferplace for them. We should be people whoare willing to stand against the same evilforces that are claiming their peers at fartoo rapid a rate. This will not usuallyleave you with a warm and fuzzy feelingbut when you look back you will see justhow important it was for you to take thisstand. Ukiah, will you join me?

Nori Scouras Ukiah

Last call for changeTo the Editor:Sad to admit, but Tiny Harris was right,

when he said of my letter about boy-cotting Chevron stations in the Ukiah areato force them to lower their prices, thatthe people of Ukiah did not have thecourage or will to follow my suggestion. Iwas ignored when I explained that only inunity could any group effect change toright a wrong.

The protesters against the immigrationbill is a perfect example. Thousands ofpeople marched though the streets ofmany of our major cities demandingchange and law makers at all levels ofgovernment are listening. Whether youagree or not with their demands, is not thepoint of this letter. All I was asking you todo when I like a small candle in the darkvoid of price gouging is to consider mysuggestion, but instead you chose to blowout the light of reason and eat the candle.

As a symbol of how I feel about youpeople allowing yourselves to be led likecattle to the slaughter sheep to be sheered,look for me outside the local Chevron sta-tions after this letter is printed. I will bethe one ringing the cowbell. Can you say“mooo-mooo-baaaa-baaaa” ?

The big burp theory of the apocalypse

From the desk of...MAUREEN DOWD

The decider stickswith the derider

Maureen Dowd became a columnist forThe New York Times' in 1995 .

Nicholas D. Kristof was appointed to a specialpost as columnist for The New York Times in2001.

WASHINGTON -- At first Rummy wasreluctant to talk about the agonizing generals'belated objections to the irrational and bully-ing decisions that led to carnage in Iraq. Therebellious retired brass complain that thedefense chief was contemptuous of advicefrom his military officers and sabotaged theIraq mission with willful misjudgmentsbefore and after the invasion.

"I kind of would prefer to let a little timewalk over it," Rummy told reporters at aPentagon briefing on Tuesday. But secondslater, he let loose a river of ruminations, aShakespearean, or maybe Nixonian, soliloquythat showed such a breathtaking lack of com-prehension that it was touching, in a perverseway.

He flailed and floundered through anec-dotes from his first and second stints at thePentagon, arguing that he drew criticismbecause he was a change agent, trying totransform the lumbering military bureaucracy.

He talked about things that most peoplewouldn't understand -- how 30 years ago hechose a M-1 battle tank with a 120-millimetercannon and turbine engine instead of the 105-howitzer and diesel engine the Army hadwanted. He babbled on about reforms in theUnified Command Plan, the DefenseLogistics System, the Quadrennial DefenseReviews and the National Security PersonnelSystem and about going from "service-centricwar fighting to deconfliction war fighting, tointeroperability and now towards interdepen-dence."

When you yank the military from the 20th-century industrial age to the 21st-centuryinformation age, Rummy said, you're boundto cause "a lot of ruffles."

Asked why he twice offered to resign dur-ing the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal buthas not this time, Rummy smiled and replied,"Oh, just call it idiosyncratic."

Idiosyncratic, indeed, with Iraq in chaos,the military riven and depleted, the presidentpoleaxed, the Republican fortunes for themidterm elections dwindling, and Republicanlawmakers like Chuck Hagel questioningRummy's leadership and Democratic oneslike Dick Durbin proposing a no-confidencevote in the Senate.

The secretary made it sound as if the gen-erals want him to resign because he madereforms. But they really want him to resignbecause he made gigantic, horrible, arrogantmistakes that will be taught in history classesforever.

He suggested invading Iraq the day after9/11. He didn't want to invade Iraq because itwas connected to 9/11. That was the part hisneocon aides at the Pentagon, Wolfie andDoug Feith, had to concoct. Rummy wantedto invade Iraq because he thought it would beeasy, compared with Iran or North Korea, orcompared with finding Osama. He could do itcheap and show off his vaunted transforma-tion of the military into a sleek, lean fightingforce.

Cloistered in a macho monastery with W.("The Decider"), Dick Cheney and CondiRice, Rummy didn't want to hear dissent, ordelve into worries about Iraq, the tribes, thesects, the likelihood of an insurgency or acivil war, the need for more troops and armorto quell postwar eruptions.

"He didn't worry about the culture in Iraq,"said Bernard Trainor, the retired Marine gen-eral who is my former colleague and the co-author of "Cobra II." "He just wanted to showthem the front end of an M-1 tank. He couldhave been in Antarctica fighting penguins. Hedidn't care, as long as he could send the mes-sage that you don't mess with HopalongCassidy. He wanted to do to Saddam in theMiddle East what he did to Shinseki in thePentagon, make him an example, say, 'I'm incharge, don't mess with me."'

The stoic Gen. Eric Shinseki finally spoketo Newsweek, conceding he had seen a formerclassmate wearing a cap emblazoned with"RIC WAS RIGHT" at West Point last fall. Hesaid only that the Pentagon had "a lot of tur-moil" before the invasion.

Just as with Vietnam, when LBJ and RobertMcNamara were running the war, or later,when Richard Nixon and Henry Kissingertook over, we now have leaders obsessed withnot seeming weak, or losing face. Their egosare feeding their delusions.

Asked by Rush Limbaugh on Mondayabout progress in Iraq, Rummy replied, "Well,the progress has been good." He said that ifyou always listened to critics about war, "wewouldn't have won the Revolutionary War" orWorld War I or World War II, and Americawould have been a different country "if itexisted at all."

But the conscience-stricken generals arenot critics of war. They are critics of having awar run by a 73-year-old who thinks he's aforce for modernity when he's really a forcefor fantasy. It's time to change the changeagent.

It's a dark and stormy night, and deep within theocean the muddy bottom begins to stir.

Giant squids flee in horror as reservoirs of methanefrozen at the bottom of the ocean begin to thaw, releas-ing bubbles that rise to the surface. Soon the oceansurface is churning and burping gas like a billionoverfed infants, transforming the composition of ouratmosphere.

That's a scene from a new horror movie I'm envi-sioning, called "Killer Ocean." I'm hoping it mightplay in the White House and Congress, because itdepicts one of the more bizarre and frightening waysin which global warming could devastate our planet --what scientists have dubbed the "methane burp."

Since President Bush is complacent about conven-tional risks from climate change, such as the prospectthat those of us in Manhattan will end up knee-deep inthe Atlantic, let's try fear-mongering.

Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 20 times morepowerful than carbon dioxide. And thousands of giga-tons of methane, equivalent to the total amount of coalin the world, lie deep within the oceans in the form ofice-like solids called methane hydrates.

The big question is whether global warming -- tem-peratures have risen about one degree Fahrenheit overthe last 30 years -- will thaw some of these methanehydrates. If so, the methane might be released as a gar-gantuan oceanic burp. Once in the atmosphere, thatmethane would accelerate the greenhouse effect andwarm the earth and raise sea levels even more.

"The juiciest disaster-movie scenario would be arelease of enough methane to significantly change theatmospheric concentration," suggests the excellentdiscussion of methane hydrates by scholars atwww.realclimate.org.

One reason for concern about a methane hydrateapocalypse is that something like it may have hap-pened several times in the past. For example, 251 mil-lion years ago, there was a catastrophe known as thePermian extinction that came close to wiping out lifeon earth.

Nobody is sure what caused the Permian extinction,but one theory is that it was methane burps.

And as long as I'm fear-mongering, there was also abetter understood warming 55 million years ago,known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum,or PETM. That was a period when temperatures shotup by 10 degrees Fahrenheit in the tropics and byabout 15 degrees in polar areas, and many scientiststhink it was caused by the melting of methanehydrates.

"The PETM event 55 million years ago is probablythe most likely example of their impact, though thereare smaller events dotted through the record," saysGavin Schmidt, a NASA expert on climate change. Heemphasizes the uncertainties, but adds that since weare likely to enter a climate that hasn't been seen for afew million years, it's reasonable to worry aboutmethane hydrates.

To be sure, some experts are skeptical. DanielSchrag, a geochemist at Harvard, doubts that methanehydrates were the culprit 55 million years ago. Forstarters, he says, the theory doesn't offer a good expla-nation of the initial change that melted the methanehydrates.

For all the uncertainty, there is an important pointhere: The history of climate shows that it does notevolve slowly and gracefully, it lurches. There are tip-ping points, and if we trigger certain chain reactions,then our leaders cannot claim a mulligan. They couldset back our planet for, say, 10 million years.

The White House has used scientific uncertainty asan excuse for its paralysis. But our leaders are sup-posed to devise policies to protect us even from threatsthat are difficult to assess precisely -- and climatechange should be considered even more menacingthan a nuclear-armed Iran.

Moreover, uncertainty cuts both ways. The bestguess of climate experts is that the seas will rise bytwo feet by 2100, but if the West Antarctic Ice Sheetwere to melt, then that alone would raise the seas by20 feet.

Frankly, it's the well-known risks of rising temper-atures and sea levels -- more than worry about a cata-clysmic methane burp -- that should drive us to curbcarbon emissions.

But our political system doesn't seem able to grap-ple with scientific issues like climate. Our only hopefor firm action would be a major U.S.-led global ini-tiative to curb carbon, and the Bush administration hasalready dropped the ball on that.

The best reason for action on global warmingremains the basic imperative to safeguard our planet inthe face of uncertainty, and our leaders are failingwretchedly in that responsibility. If we need an apoca-lypse to concentrate our minds, then just imagine ourdescendants sitting on the top of Mount Ararat besidetheir ark, cursing us for triggering a methane burp.

Long’s three-run shotin sixth breaks 5-5 tie

By TONY ADAMEThe Daily Journal

With his team teetering on thebrink of defeat all day, Napa Valleyhead coach Bob Freschi wasn’tsure what to credit for The Storm’s9-6 victory over MendocinoCollege Friday in Ukiah.

Here are a few candidates:Tommy Long’s sixth inning, three-run home run off of Mendocinostarter Riley O’Donnell with thescore tied 5-5.

Right fielder Kenny Jones’ gun-

ning down Johnny Gonzales athome on an ill-advised attempt toscore after tagging up with thebases loaded and one out.

The Storm defense, who battledthrough bases loaded situations inthe fourth, seventh, and eighthinning.

Freschi, however, was seeing thebigger picture.

“We’re living clean,” said abeaming Freschi after the victory.“I suppose we all went to bed earlyand woke up ready to go.”

Freschi, all jokes aside, still gavecredit where it was due.

Rege pitches Mendocino tosweep of Laney to set up Mondayshowdown with Los Medanos

By TONY ADAMEThe Daily Journal

At different points late in Friday’s double-header between Laney College and MendocinoCollege, both Laney head coach LindaThompson and Mendocino’s all-Bay ValleyConference catcher, Brandi McRae, reachedthe boiling point.

Thompson got heated after Laney’s VanessaCastro was called out for running outside ofthe basepath in the sixth inning on a play athome, leading to a Thompson tirade that heldup play for the better part of 10 minutes andkilled a burst of momentum by Laney in thesecond game after being down 5-0.

McRae’s ire was peaked after striking outswinging in the third inning. Her reaction? Thesophomore from Lower Lake started gunningdown Laney runners like they’d stole some-thing, laser beaming throws to second and

third base to put the finishing touches onMendocino’s sweep with a 5-2, second gamevictory.

“Of course I was going to be down onmyself after striking out,” McRae said. “I washeated, but I still had to focus.”

Thompson wasn’t as introspective. “I’m not in the mood,” said the Laney head

coach to an interview request after the games. Shylo Rege picked up both pitching wins

for Mendocino, including a one-hit, 10-0 gemin the first game. Sadie Poehlmann, JennCarroll, Lindsay Ruddick and McRae eachwent 2-for-3 in the first game win withRuddick and McRae each tacking on two RBIsand a double apiece.

“We played solid today,” said Mendocinohead coach Kelvin Chapman. “There were nomental mistakes and Rege threw great again. Ithink she throws better when she throws a lot,and I’m going to keep using her. She’s a toughcookie.”

Kariya leads Nashville to win over SharksBy TERESA M. WALKERThe Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. —Paul Kariya found his team-mates all night long.

Adam Hall scored the go-ahead goal at 12:06 of thethird period by redirecting ashot by Kariya, who assistedon all four of Nashville’spower-play goals in thePredators’ 4-3 victory over theSan Jose Sharks on Friday inthe opener of the first-roundWestern Conference series.

Mike Sillinger scored andhad an assist, and Martin Eratand rookie defenseman SheaWeber both netted their first

career playoff goals as thePredators showed why theyenjoyed the NHL’s best home-ice advantage this season.

The Predators opened theirsecond playoff appearance ontheir own ice where they ledthe league with a 32-8-1record. And the sellout crowdroared for every move.

The fifth-seeded Sharkshad won eight of nine, andthey also brought in theNHL’s top offensive threats inJoe Thornton and JonathanCheechoo. Thornton had aleague-high 125 points, andCheechoo led the NHL with56 goals, but they were held to

just one assist from Thornton.Mike Smith scored 4:12 in

for the Sharks, who went 30-8in the regular season whentaking a 1-0 lead. Nils Ekmanwas set up by Thornton in thesecond period, and ScottThornton tied it 3-3 in thethird.

Chris Mason made hisplayoff debut and did a finejob in replacing No. 1 goalieTomas Vokoun, who carriedthe Predators to 36 victoriesbut is out for the season with ablood condition. A day afterturning 30, Mason made 31

Heat

“Mendocino kept battlingand we just made the playsand got the big hits when weneeded them. Long and Jonesboth made plays that weremomentum swings, and youcould feel it in the dugout.”

It was Napa’s third win in a

row, and another loss in astunted, thus far disappointingseason for the Eagles.

“Not getting a run with thebases loaded and no outs, thatkills you when those type ofthings start to happen,” saidMendocino head coach MattGordon. “And just like if youwere to hit a grand slam inthat situation, the pressuremounts more the other waytoo.

“It becomes contagious.”

Brandyn Heater picked upthe pitching win for Napa,although no one’s star shonebrighter than Long’s Friday.

“Things weren’t goingquite as we expected, so I waslooking to try and come upwith a big hit,” Long said. “Isaw a first pitch fastball andthat’s what we always try tofind. I heard the crowd and Iknew it was gone.

“Kenny’s throw was just asbig. If he didn’t make that,

then it could have been a com-pletely different game.”

O’Donnell struck out four,gave up 10 hits and walkedtwo in 5 1/3 innings, whilereliever Jared Dellinger struckout five and gave up four hitsin 3 2/3 innings of work.

Mendocino gets anothershot at getting into the wincolumn today, traveling toSolano College for a double-header.

By GREG BEACHAMThe Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — Gregg Popovichand the San Antonio Spurs have wonplenty of postseason prizes in recentyears. This first-round playoff matchupdefinitely isn’t one of them.

As a reward for the best regular seasonin franchise history while holding offDallas for the Western Conference’s topseed, the defending NBA championsopen the postseason on Saturday againstRon Artest and the Sacramento Kings,who surged into the playoffs on a 25-11run and caught the league’s attention withtheir newfound toughness.

“It seems like if you ended up first,you ought to play the eighth-best team inthe West,” said Popovich, who coachedthe Spurs to three titles in the last sevenseasons.

“These guys are — whatever you wantto call them — the third-, fourth-, fifth-best team in the West with the waythey’re playing here lately. It’s a very,very, very tough draw, but that’s the waythe cards have been dealt.”

No, the Kings aren’t the averageeighth seed. While the top-seeded DetroitPistons — San Antonio’s foe in last sea-son’s finals — are expected to toy withthe 40-42 Milwaukee Bucks in the East,the Spurs will take on a hungry, veteranclub that Artest boldly called “the team tobeat” on Thursday.

The Spurs won’t go that far, but thematchup should provide a quick test ofthe Spurs’ readiness for another longplayoff haul — or a quick exit if theKings pull a best-of-seven shocker.

“We think we’ve probably got as goodof a shot as anybody against them, so Iguess we’ll take it,” Kings center BradMiller said.

But if anybody can handle such anunorthodox matchup, it’s the seasonedSpurs. San Antonio was as consistent asTim Duncan’s footwork this season,going 63-19 while overcoming injuriesand quietly building the bench’s cohesionand toughness for the difficult days of

May and June.The Kings (44-38) had more peaks and

dips than a roller coaster, nearly floppingin January before surging to one of theNBA’s best finishes. Artest’s arrival in atrade for Peja Stojakovic transformedSacramento into “one of the better defen-sive teams in the entire league now,”according to Popovich — a shockingconcept to fans of the Kings’ freewheel-ing past clubs.

That’s why it’s hard to determine whatthe longtime Western powers’ first play-off meeting will resemble. Will the clubs

lock down on each other in a defensivestruggle, or will high-scoring pointguards Mike Bibby and Tony Parker coaxtheir clubs into long stretches or run-and-gun ball, as the Spurs adeptly played lastseason against Phoenix?

“Their personality has changed,”Duncan said. “They’re a better defensiveclub. They also do the things they’vealways done. They’re very good passers.They’re very unselfish, and a very goodshooting team. They move well withoutthe ball. They still do that stuff, and(Artest) fits right into it.”

While eight members of the Kings’ 12-man roster weren’t even with the club lastspring, the Spurs knew their missionfrom the first days of training camp,when Popovich reminded his core play-ers they had never repeated as champi-ons.

Duncan, the three-time NBA FinalsMVP, played the stretch run with a nag-ging leg injury. He averaged a career-low18.6 points, but showed a toughness thatnever surprised his teammates. Like mostclubs, the Kings never have found a con-sistent way to slow Duncan.

“Nothing’s changed at all. Timmy isour go-to guy,” said Parker, who aver-aged a career-best 18.9 points. “I thinkthey will have problems with Timmy.They have no one who can stop him.Manu (Ginobili) and I will try to get bas-kets in transition, but it all starts insidewith Timmy.”

Nobody in a purple uniform is hungri-er for the playoffs than Artest, who spentmost of the past 1 1/2 seasons at home.He was suspended for 73 games and lastseason’s playoffs for the infamous brawlin the Detroit stands, and the IndianaPacers deactivated him for 25 games thisseason following his trade request beforeshipping him to Sacramento.

“I only watched the Pacers last year,”Artest said of his television viewinghabits. “Every day I would just work outand get ready for this year. It was kind ofhard, though. ... (Duncan) is too tall forme, but if I had to guard him, I would.”

The Associated PressSANTA CLARA — Now that they’ve

added another first-rounder to their bun-dle of 2006 picks, the San Francisco49ers plan on standing pat in the NFLdraft.

Looking to pull at least a few immedi-ate starters out of the draft’s first day onApril 29, the 49ers likely are donemaneuvering early in the draft order aftertrading second- and third-round picks toDenver on Wednesday for the Broncos’No. 22 overall selection in the first round.

The 49ers also hold the No. 6 pick inthe first round. There’s some speculationSan Francisco is aiming to package morepicks to climb higher in the first round,but coach Mike Nolan said during a draftluncheon Friday that the team plans touse the two high picks it now owns.

Nolan has spent the past seven months

accumulating extra picks as part of hisrebuilding project with one of the mosttalent-starved teams in the league. The49ers had acquired three extra 2006 picksvia trades since September before mak-ing the trade with Denver, which nowleaves San Francisco with 10 picks ondraft weekend.

“I’m all for a lot of picks, but we are afootball team that needs to add startersbefore we concentrate on depth,” Nolansaid. “This (Denver) trade was moreabout getting starters who can come inand be impact players.”

The 49ers still could make anothermove with the No. 6 pick, and theyexpect several other teams might comecalling to trade up for that selectiondepending on how things shake out oncethe first round gets underway.

If they stay at No. 6, the 49ers expect

to have a shot at one of three players theycovet at positions of need — NorthCarolina State defensive end MarioWilliams, Ohio State linebacker A.J.Hawk and Maryland tight end VernonDavis.

“We can truly take the best playeravailable at about any spot besides aquarterback, because we have needs at alot of positions, said Nolan, who used theNo. 1 overall selection on quarterbackAlex Smith in his first draft as 49erscoach last year.

Nolan and 49ers vice president ofplayer personnel Scot McCloughan saidthe team is prepared for several possiblescenarios that could take place ahead ofSan Francisco with the first five picks.

“There’s a lot of possibilities thatcould fall our way at our pick,” Nolansaid.

saves in winning his seventhstraight game.

The Predators outshot SanJose 14-8 in the opening peri-od and kept the puck awayfrom Mason. But San Jose, theNHL’s third-least penalizedteam, picked up three penal-ties within 10 minutes.Nashville made the Sharks

pay by going 4-of-7 with theman advantage.

Sillinger tied it 27 secondsinto the first power play, pos-sibly with the help of Sharksforward Ville Nieminen’sglove. The puck was redirect-ed in front and went past VesaToskala, who also made hispostseason debut in net.

Officials reviewed the goalfor a possible high stickinfraction, but it stood.

Cheechoo then was calledfor interference at 9:31, and

Erat scored on a slap shotfrom the left circle at 10:56for a 2-1 lead. Kariya thenfound Weber in front of thenet for the third power-playgoal with 19:56 left to make it3-1.

Thornton found Ekman inthe right circle, and he beatMason high at 8:50 of the sec-ond to pull San Jose within 3-2.

But Mason stopped MattCarle in front while the teamsskated 4-on-4 late in the peri-

od, then made a right-pad stopoff a shot from Nieminen dur-ing a 3-on-1 break.

Scott Thornton tied it at10:31 of the third, but Kariyagot the puck to Hall 1:35 laterto put Nashville ahead to stay.

Notes: Kariya’s first threeassists gave him seven pointswithin four periods. Heextended his point streak tofour games and has 11 pointsin that span. ... San Jose was7-9 during the regular seasonwhen trailing after one period.

Dear Annie: I married “Alex” a year ago, andnow he wants a divorce. I don’t know why.

Four months ago, Alex left home after a fight.We’ve been separated ever since. The reason wefought is because Alex kept coming home less andless. He preferred to live across town with his moth-er. (He’s not a mama’s boy. In fact, they rarelyspeak. He just wanted out, and her house was theeasiest place to go.)

I have since found out that Alex has a narcoticaddiction, and I also think he may be bipolar. Herefuses to get counseling, even though I offered togo with him. He said counseling is for the “weak-minded.”

Alex has refused all my attempts to reconcile,but he will not file for divorce. He also will notrespond to e-mails, phone calls or anything. I askedseveral friends to speak with him, but it didn’t help.

I am unable to work and am trying to get dis-ability. I have no money to file for divorce. Plus, itis against my religious convictions. Any advice? --In Limbo

Dear Limbo: You may be able to get an annul-

ment, since Alex left you after only a few months ofmarriage and will not come home or get counseling.Talk to your clergyperson and ask for help. There isno reason, religious or otherwise, to continue in thissham of a marriage.

DearAnnie: Last year, I was invited to a potluckdinner at a friend’s home. She asked me to bring alarge vegetarian casserole for 20 people.

I happily baked the casserole, but made the mis-take of putting it in a treasured serving dish that hadbeen a wedding gift from a dear relative. When myhusband and I left the potluck that evening, I toldthe hostess to enjoy the remaining casserole and toplease return the dish next time we got together.

It has been nearly four months, but she has not

returned the dish. This friend lives nearby and Iasked if she would mind dropping off the piece thenext time she drives past our home (which she doesoften). She seemed very annoyed and told me tocome by and pick it up myself anytime. Since then,she hasn’t returned my phone calls, and I wonder ifI was wrong to ask for my dish back. -- Baffled inKalamazoo

Dear Baffled: Of course not. Your friend shouldhave returned it immediately after the dinner. Stopwaiting for her to give it to you. Since she doesn’treturn your calls, drop by some evening and sayyou were in the area and thought this would be agood time to pick up your dish. Don’t leave with-out it.

Dear Annie: As an adult adoptee, I was infuriat-ed to read the letter from “Happy Empty Nesters inTexas,” who resented her husband’s continued rela-tionship with his biological daughter.

I separately found both my birth mother andbirth father, and they were thrilled that I wanted arelationship. I know some birthparents do not wishto be found, but “Happy’s” husband isn’t one ofthem. Her statement that this daughter “has added

nothing to make my life better” is so incredibly self-ish. Does this wife have any idea what being givenup for adoption did to the daughter?

It doesn’t sound like the husband objects in anyway to his daughter’s visits or calls. His wife shouldstop being so jealous and be glad her husband is aloving father who opened his arms to his child. Andwhether she likes it or not, the daughter is family. -- Angry Adoptee in Pennsylvania

DearAngry: We received dozens of letters fromoutraged adoptees making similar statements. Weabsolutely agree that the relationship between Dadand his adult biological daughter is entirely up tothem, and the sooner Dad’s wife can accept it, thebetter for everyone.

DA REPORTSThe following were

compiled from reportsprepared by the Mendo-cino County DistrictAttorney’s Office:

PAROLE HEARING --The Board of Parole will beconducting a hearing in thecase of James Meinecke onMay 22. Meinecke was con-victed of murder in 1989 inconnection with a drunkendriving accident in whichMeinecke crossed the center-line of Highway 101 and col-lided head-on with a car dri-ven by Karla Takahashi,killing her and injuring pas-senger Paul Higgins.

District Attorney NormanVroman is asking for publiccomment on Meinecke’srelease. Letters can be sent tothe Board of Parole viaAssistant District AttorneyKeith Faulder at P.O. Box1000, Ukiah CA 95482.


Daily

Sawicki said a district attor-ney who is in conflict with hisstaff is weak.

“A general who is fightingwith his own troops will notwin any victories,” Sawickisaid.

The Board of Supervisorsapproved a separate bargain-ing unit for the attorneys buttabled the civil service issuefor later discussion.

Vroman said the bid forreclassification did not repre-sent a problem with him, but afear of what Lintott orSawicki would do if elected.

“My deputies are all happy,and they’ll be happier when Iwin,” Vroman said.

Lintott objected toVroman’s take on the situationand said the attorneys areseeking job stability due to thehigh turnover rate in theoffice.

“I don’t think the deputyDA’s are afraid of eitherMyron or myself,” Lintottsaid.

Vroman denied there washigh turnover in his office. Hesaid he has only asked for theresignation of four attorneysduring his two terms, addingthat the rest have voluntarilyleft the office for better payingjobs.

Drugs were also an issueimportant to the council,specifically what the DistrictAttorney’s Office was goingto do to correct the perceptionthat Mendocino County is agood place to move to for peo-ple who want to manufactureand ingest drugs.

Sawicki said the problem isat the state level, where penal-ties for marijuana possessionare too lax and don’t incorpo-rate serious punishments.Sawicki said, if elected, hewould continue to aggressive-ly pursue large growers,specifically those who growon public land.

Vroman also noted thestate’s lax punishment ofsome drug offenses but saidthere is little the DistrictAttorney’s Office can doabout the problem if the casesaren’t brought to the DA.

“I can’t prosecute anybody

until they get arrested,”Vroman said.

Methamphetamine wasalso an issue of concern forthose on the council. Lintottsaid the drug is often associat-ed with a number of othercrimes, including domesticviolence, theft, assault andpollution.

“This is something thatneeds to be attacked at everylevel,” Lintott said.

Vroman said methampheta-mine, and by extension allwhite drugs, are a seriousproblem within the county,but said a bigger problem isalcohol.

He said 95 percent of thecases he files are alcohol-related. Vroman blamed someof this problem on judges,who he said are too lenient inthe sentencing of drunken dri-vers.

Forfeiture funds were alsoa matter of interest for theEmployers Council. At pre-sent, the District Attorney’sOffice has about $300,000 inforfeiture funds in its account.Vroman said that money isused for training for attorneysand purchasing new equip-

ment for the office.Sawicki criticized

Vroman's decision to spendthe money on machine gunsfor the eight sworn officerswho work for the DistrictAttorney’s Office, and for thegun-sight training thatVroman attended.

“There are better uses ofthat money,” Sawicki said.

Forfeiture money was alsoused to publish the biannualreport on the DistrictAttorney’s Office that Vromanhas been distributing at cam-paign events. Both Sawickiand council members asked ifthe report represented cam-paigning with county funds.

Vroman said the report isput out every two years andthat it is only a coincidencethat it was published in themidst of campaign season.

“It was a coincidence, but Ididn’t create it,” Vroman said.

Primaries in the districtattorney’s race will be held inJune.
