AccuWeather reports 101º at 2 p.m. Friday, breaking record of 99º dating back to 1970 By ROB BURGESS The Daily Journal Coming as perhaps little sur- prise to anyone who went outside Friday afternoon, the record tem- perature for the day was almost surely broken. Jeff Tonkin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Eureka, said the previous record for Ukiah on May 16 was 99 degrees and was set in 1970. “The temperature at the Ukiah Airport is 100.4 degrees,” Tonkin said at 4:30 p.m. Friday. AccuWeather had the official Ukiah reading at 101 degrees at 2 p.m. Friday when the temperature was still rising. Tonkin said he couldn’t make the official pronouncement that the record had been shattered because the NWS’s official temperature reading is taken from the Ukiah Fire Department Station, which could not be reached at press time. “I think it’s always a few degrees hotter at the airport,” he said. Tonkin said inland areas of the county should expect more of the same for the immediate future. “Down there it’s probably going to be pretty hot for at least the next couple days,” he said Friday after- noon. “The coast is going to cool down quite a bit tomorrow. Ukiah is going to stay in the high 90s for the rest of the weekend.” Rob Burgess can be reached at [email protected].

Ranochak issued the press release a day after the California Supreme Court declared that cur- rent statutes that restrict marriage to one man and one woman are unconstitutional. “Decisions of the Supreme Court (of California) are final 30 days after filing unless the decision itself sets an earlier time of finality, which it did not,” Ranochak stated.

But if you ask Skip, playing host to hundreds of students is just the way he and Barbara like it. “We’re both raised in musical families, and it just feels natural,” said Skip as he led students through the lower level of the barn, which is a frame-laden maze of photos from years past. “We just enjoy doing this.

RELIGION BRIEFSBy JAY LINDSAYTHE Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Fordecades, Boston Universitysociologist Peter Berger says,American intellectuals havelooked down on evangelicals.
Educated people have thenotion that evangelicals are“barefoot people of TobaccoRoad who, I don’t know, sleepwith their sisters or some-thing,” Berger says.
It’s time that attitudechanged, he says.
“That was probably nevercorrect, but it’s totally falsenow and I think the imageshould be corrected,” Bergersaid in a recent interview.
Now, his university’sInstitute on Culture, Religionand World Affairs is leading atwo-year project that exploresan “evangelical intelligentsia”which Berger says is growingand needs to be better under-stood, given the large numbersof evangelicals and their influ-ence.
“It’s not good if a preju-diced view of this communityprevails in the elite circles ofsociety,” said Berger, a self-described liberal Lutheran.“It’s bad for democracy andit’s wrong.”
The study is being directedby Berger and Timothy Shah,an evangelical political scien-tist at the Pew Forum onReligion & Public Life. Shahis documenting the history ofthe evangelical movement,including its historical hostili-ty to higher learning, a revivalof scholarship, and the mindsand ideas it has since pro-duced.
Some aren’t convincedevangelical scholars havemade as much progress asthey think.
Boston College sociologistAlan Wolfe, who wrote anarticle in The Atlantic, “TheOpening of the EvangelicalMind” in 2000, said despitethe success of some evangeli-cal scholars, many haveretained an insularity and
defensiveness that limits theireffectiveness.
“There isn’t enough mixingin the larger world of ideas,”he said.
An estimated 75 millionAmericans are evangelicals,people who emphasize a per-sonal relationship with JesusChrist and commit to spread-ing the message of salvationthrough his redemptive death.
Evangelicals say they oftenaren’t well-understoodbeyond their Bible-banging,evolution-hating caricature.
Many equate evangelicalswith fundamentalists, anevangelical subset that inter-prets the Bible literally — asin the six calendar days of cre-ation — and is home to ardentevolution opponents. But
Shah said most evangelicalscientists believe in evolutionguided by God.
A quote from a 1993Washington Post article,describing followers of twoleading evangelists as “poor,uneducated and easily led,”remains infamous amongevangelicals as an example ofthe bias they claim to face.After President Bush won the2004 election, New YorkTimes columnist MaureenDowd wrote Bush had wonthe evangelical vote, in part,by appealing to their “fear ofscientific progress.”
Mark Noll, an evangelicaland well-known historian atthe University of Notre Dame,said the stereotype is perpetu-ated because both religious
and secular thinkers have cre-ated an either-or choicebetween science and God.
“It’s just false,” Noll said.“You go back to (Isaac)Newton and (Johannes)Kepler, the founders of earlymodern science were theistsof one sort or another.”
Shah says a major splitbetween evangelicals andpopular culture came after theso-called Scopes monkey trialin 1925, in which a teacherwas convicted of violatingTennessee’s ban on teachingevolution — a decision lateroverturned. Defense attorneyClarence Darrow told hisopponent, William JenningsBryan, that: “You insult everyman of science and learning inthe world because he does notbelieve in your fool religion.”
Two years later, SinclairLewis’s “Elmer Gantry”poked at the anti-intellectual-ism of leading evangelicalsand cast them as corruptfrauds. At the same time, Shahsaid, the country’s institutionsof higher education weretaken over by people hostile toChristian faith.
“(Evangelicals) felt totallybesieged,” Shah said. “Theyfelt like the culture made funof them.”
Evangelicals began toemerge from “their self-imposed ghetto” in the 1950sand ’60s after prodding fromleaders such as Billy Graham,who urged a new intellectualboldness, Shah said.
They also became moreprosperous and better educat-ed, and produced more schol-ars as a result, Berger said.
Notre Dame is home toseveral of the best-knownevangelical thinkers besidesNoll, including philosopherAlvin Plantinga, whose “freewill defense” takes on the log-ical problem of evil, and his-torian George Marsden, whowon the prestigious BancroftPrize for his book on colonialpreacher Jonathan Edwards.

Thank youTo the Editor:We would like to thank the firefighters
from the City of Ukiah and Ukiah ValleyFire departments for their incredibleresponse to our recent garage fire. Notonly did they respond quickly and put outthe fire, but they managed to save the sur-rounding residences which suffered onlyminimal damage.
We would like to thank our neighbors.If it wasn’t for your quick response in get-ting everyone out, rescuing our dog andusing your hoses to spray our car andnearby roofs, this could have turned into amuch more tragic situation.
We would like to thank our friends whoappeared out of nowhere when they heardwe were in trouble with their offers ofhelp and assistance.
While having your garage destroyedisn’t much fun, this experience reminds uswhy we live in Ukiah. Despite all ourdisagreements over politics, sports or reli-gion, when it comes to an emergency,everyone pulls together and does whatneeds to be done.
Thank you all so much. We will neverforget your kindness and concern.

Green credentials a shamTo the Editor:An Open Letter to the City of Ukiah
Council Members:I am deeply disappointed that the City
Council opted to forego their power tonegotiate a better deal for the ratepayersof Ukiah by rashly signing a clearlyflawed contract with the new garbagehaulers. In the Council’s haste to move toa new hauler and away from the RattoGroup, they allowed a new untested com-pany to dictate conditions: The result is aweak deal that may lead to the closure ofour local organic compost facility (ColdCreek Compost).
The evidence of financial hardshipclaimed by the new hauler was suspiciousto say the least. Why should anyone other
than the new Haulers be responsible forrecouping supposedly “unexpected” ratehikes in the landfill fees? Didn’t theycarefully check the underlying contractson which their deal with the Ratto Groupwas based? The Council should haveforced the Ratto Group to abide by theexisting contract until a deal that support-ed local recycling and local businessescould be reached. The City should notonly have supported the only truly viablealternative this community has to landfillbut also should have insisted that com-posting be the first option of choice.Instead, the Council, apparently unwillingto use its power to enforce conditions onthe new hauler, gave them unrestrictedcontrol over the recycling of waste materi-al. The result is that the ratepayers of theCity are now exposed to the possibleimpact of substantial state fines if the Citydoes not reach its mandated goal of 50percent diversion of waste away from thelandfill. And its April 16th decision makesthis goal harder, not easier, to achieve.
The Council could have continued toinsist that the Ratto Group meets its con-tract obligations with the effect of ensur-ing adequate green waste be made avail-able to CCC at a price which would allowthe facility to continue to operate. TheCouncil has blatantly disregarded the bestinterests of the ratepayers, and the sur-rounding farming community, by itsactions. Let’s hope the City of Ukiahdoesn’t live to regret it.

Dictatorialpowers
Sweet land of libertyNAT HENTOFF
Secret law: Isthis America?
Nat Hentoff is a nationally renownedauthority on the First Amendment and theBill of Rights.
On April 30, the Senate's subcommittee onthe Constitution held a vitally important hear-ing on "Secret Law and the Threat toDemocratic and Accountable Government,"chaired by Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis. Atissue, ignored by the presidential contenders,is a profound change in the very core of ourlaws. Said witness Steven Aftergood, secrecyexpert at the Federation of AmericanScientists:
Growing use of secret law "is implicated infundamental political controversies overdomestic surveillance, torture and many otherissues directly affecting the lives and interestsof Americans...Secret law excludes the publicfrom the deliberative process, promotes arbi-trary and deviant government behavior, andshields official malefactors from accountabil-ity."
At this very Senate hearing, John R.Elwood, the Office of Legal Counsel's DeputyAssistant Attorney General, provided a star-tling example of the Bush administration'sjustification for the imperious essence ofsecret law. As reported in the May 1 NewYork Times, Elwood "disclosed a previouslyunpublicized method to cloak governmentactivities."
The Bush administration believes, he said,"that the president could ignore or modifyexisting executive orders that he and otherpresidents have issued without disclosing thenew interpretation."
Vladimir Putin would agree with that -- butis this America? Responding to Elwood (andhis boss, U.S. Attorney General MichaelMukasey), Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.,said that this three-card Monte game (a side-walk swindle) "turns the Federal Register(that prints these orders) into a screen of false-hoods." Behind the "phony regulations law-less programs can operate in secret."
Since 9/11, the president often says that hisactions are based on legal opinions from theJustice Department, particularly from itsOffice of Legal Counsel. Another witnessbefore the senate subcommittee on theConstitution was Dawn Johnsen, former headof the Office of Legal Counsel.
Concerning secret interpretations of notonly executive orders but also of laws, shesaid the central question is:
"May the Office of Legal Counsel issuebinding opinions that in essence tell the pres-ident and the executive branch that they neednot comply with existing laws -- and then notshare those opinions, and that legal reasoning,with Congress or the American people? ...This combination -- the claimed authority notto comply with the law and to do so secretly -- is a terrible abuse of powers, without limitsand without checks.
"It clearly is antithetical to our constitu-tional democracy."
In his Senate testimony, Aftergood zeroedin on the powerful Office of Legal Counsel,whose opinions, he noted, are "generallybinding on the executive branch. Many ofthese opinions may be properly confidential.But others interpret the law authoritativelyand in ways that are reflected in governmentpolicy."
Aren't the American people entitled toknow what these authoritative opinions arethat affect our lives -- including our security -- in so many ways. But, Aftergood cautions usthat "most of these opinions are secret, so thatthe legal standards under which the govern-ment is actually operating at any givenmoment may be unknown to the public."
One of the charges against King George IIIin the Declaration of Independence was:"altering fundamentally the Forms of ourGovernments."
The oath of Allegiance for New Citizensrequires: "I will support and defend theConstitution and the laws of the United Statesagainst all enemies, foreign and domestic ...and bear true faith and allegiance to thesame."
But how can that oath be honored ifAmerican citizens, new and old, do not know"the legal standards under which the govern-ment is actually operating at any givenmoment?"
Getting back to presidential executiveorders, they range, Aftergood points out, from"domestic intelligence activities to protectionof human subjects in scientific research. Butnow it appears that none of these policies aresecurely established. In fact, any of them mayalready have been violated (or rather,'waived') without notice. We just don't know."
Sen. Feingold deserves our thanks for hold-ing this hearing on "secret law." As he saysplainly: "It is a basic tenet of democracy thatthe people have a right to know the law."
Among the enormous responsibilities ofthe next president and Congress is to restorethe rule of law and, not incidentally, theConstitution on which it stands -- and let thesunshine in!
No one involved in any way with California gov-ernment now thinks the state budget process is ideal.
There's the two-thirds vote requirement in eachhouse of the Legislature that allows a relatively smallminority to stymie the majority's plain wishes. There'sthe fact that once a budget is adopted, it can't bechanged easily when financial circumstances change.
But as June's serious negotiations over next year'sstate spending plan approach, only Gov. ArnoldSchwarzenegger offers any serious plan to change thesystem. The problem: any thorough look at what hewants will reveal a "reform" plan that has one bigweakness making this notion worse than the currentlousy system.
Schwarzenegger essentially wants to set up himselfand all his successors as fiscal dictators.
Yes, his plan calls for establishing a "rainy day"reserve that would be funded in good years by auto-matic deposits of all state revenues in excess of a "rea-sonable, long-term rate of growth." The state's Financedepartment would set that rate - and thus the amountof money to be put aside - each year. Since that depart-ment's director is always an appointee of the governor,this means Schwarzenegger and all who follow himwould have the power to decide on their own howmuch money goes into the new reserve fund and howmuch gets spent on the state's needs.
No consultations with legislators or anyone else arerequired in this plan.
The Schwarzenegger plan also calls for automaticstate spending cuts whenever the governor and hisappointees predict a budget shortfall. These would notmerely be a judicious set of cuts with priorities estab-lished to deem some spending on some things morecritical than others. This would be an across-the-boardsystem of chopping all programs from education toparks to road repairs and prisons.
Anyone who's been looking knows how muchprotest Schwarzenegger's attempts at across-the-boardcuts this spring aroused, as parents and schoolchildrenmarched by the tens of thousands to fight that plan,which - among other things - would mean significant-ly larger class sizes.
Yet, none of this is the worst of the Schwarzenegger"reform" plan. That distinction is reserved for the pro-vision mandating that whenever a governor - any gov-ernor - unilaterally declares a fiscal emergency, legis-lators must meet to make cuts. Whenever they don'tmake them in a specified time period, or if their cutsaren't enough to satisfy any governor, that governorcould step in and make cuts for them.
Says Schwarzenegger's proposal, "the amendmentallows the governor to waive state law and regulationsin order to achieve the savings needed to bringCalifornia's budget into balance."
In short, governors would suddenly become budgetdictators, able to declare fiscal emergencies at theirwhim, then force whatever cuts they like. Suppose afuture governor doesn't like public schools. Supposevoters elect a governor opposed to government pro-viding health care for either the poor or illegal immi-grants.
This plan, then, would abrogate the traditionalAmerican system summed up in the phrase: "Theexecutive proposes and the legislature disposes." At alllevels of governments, mayors and governors andpresidents propose budgets, then negotiate with citycouncils, legislatures and Congress. In California, noindividual can alter any budget once it's passed.
Schwarzenegger wants to change all that. His fel-low Republican, President Bush, once famouslyobserved that "Life would sure be easier if I was a dic-tator." A dictatorship is precisely whatSchwarzenegger would establish if his plan everbecame law, at least where it comes to state spending,which itself dictates conditions of life for millions ofCalifornians.
This is the plan Schwarzenegger calls "reform,"thus plainly demonstrating that reform doesn't alwaysequal improvement. He's spent much of the springplumping for it up and down the state, calling it theBudget Stabilization Act and claiming it would some-how protect schools and other programs from the kindof across-the-board cuts he proposes in the currentspending plan.
The governor accurately notes that any such systemwould require a vote of the people. If they ever didactually vote for it, they'd be just plain crazy.

The aroma of meltedcheese and freshly-bakedbread fills the air in thedimly lit, cathedral-liketasting room at the RobertSinskey Vineyard. The pres-ence of food is profound asthe presence of wine. Thewinery’s renowned execu-tive chef and culinary direc-tor, Maria Helm Sinskey,believes that wine must beserved with food in order tobe enjoyed fully.
Sinskey spends her timecreating, testing and cook-ing meals for the winery,raising the couple’s daugh-ters (Ella 9 and Alexandra8) and preparing for therelease of her upcomingcookbook, “FamilyDinners.” In fact, the bal-ancing act of caring for herchildren and involving themin the preparation of hersimple yet elegant meals isthe theme of her latestbook. “It is all about cook-ing with your kids and let-ting them help in thekitchen,” she said. “It is notovercomplicated.”
Simplicity is the core ofSinskey’s philosophy as achef. She believes in thepurity and wholesomenessof nature. She uses onlyorganic, natural ingredients.Sinskey lets nature guideher menus and she cookswith the seasons. That wasthe theme of her first cook-book, The VineyardKitchen- - Menus Inspiredby the Seasons, which waspublished in 2003 byHarperCollins. “I cook verysimply from produce that isin season and grown in thevalley,” she said.
There has always been anemphasis on food atSinskey Vineyards, butwhen Maria married herhusband, Robert, that phi-losophy was taken to anoth-er level. “When you get anaccomplished chef and a
winemaker together, it ispretty amazing,” said RobBrown, a student at theCulinary Institute ofAmerica in St. Helena, whoassists Sinskey with mealpreparation at the winery.
Most of the winery’smeals are prepared in asmall demonstrationkitchen, adjacent to the tast-ing room, complete with awood-burning stove. “It isamazing what you can do inthis kitchen,” said Brown.“People enjoy watchingMaria cook.”
Food has always been apart of Sinskey’s life.“When I was growing up,my family was obsessedwith food. When we wenton vacation, it wasn’t aboutwhat we were going to doduring the day; it was moreabout what we were goingto eat.”
Sinskey has maintainedthe ideal of family dinnersthroughout her life. She hasfond memories of cookingwith her parents and grand-parents. It was sibling rival-ry that fostered her culinaryinclinations. “My sister wasamazing at so many things.One thing that I was goodat was baking. When wemade bread, mine wouldturn out better than hers.”
After graduating with adegree in English from
Union College inSchenectady, New York,Sinskey planned to pursue acareer as a lawyer, but herfather encouraged her toforgo law school and headwest to follow her dream.
She enrolled at theCalifornia CulinaryAcademy in San Francisco.As part of her program, sheattended pastry school inDenmark. After graduatingin 1987, she remained inSan Francisco, and tookjobs as a chef at severalacclaimed restaurants in theBay Area, includingSherman House -- a Relais& Chateaux Hotel, andPlumpJack Café. She wasnamed the 1996 Food &Wine Magazine Best NewChef, San FranciscoMagazine Rising Star Chef,and San FranciscoChronicle Rising Star Chef.
Sinskey relished her timeas a star on the Bay-arearestaurant scene workingfor PlumpJack’s Bill Gettyand Gavin Newsome, butshe gave up her career asthe restaurant’s executivechef when her oldest daugh-ter was six months old.“I’ve definitely gone off theculinary fast track,” shesaid.
At the same time, herhusband was looking for anew chef for his winery.Today, she directs all culi-nary activities, creates andtests recipes, and developsmenus for the winery’sevents such as its famedwinemaker dinners, a multi-course meal served withRobert Sinskey wines.
She is hoping her latestproject will help others pre-serve two things she holdsdear: family and the fine artof cooking. “My life ismore doable now,” she saysbefore heading out to aphoto shoot for “FamilyDinners.”

SAN FRANCISCO — PeterMagowan, the owner who broughtBarry Bonds to San Francisco, built anew ballpark and kept major leaguebaseball in the city, is stepping downas managing partner of the Giants.
The 66-year-old Magowan willretire from his duties at the end of theseason on Oct. 1 but maintain anownership stake, the team saidFriday.
American Bar Association presi-dent William Neukom, a currentpartner in the Giants group, will takeover for Magowan. Also, executive
vice president Larry Baer willbecome team president effective Oct.1.
These changes are subject to theapproval of Major League Baseball.The Giants expect that to happenwhen the owners next meet, Aug. 13-14 in Washington.
Magowan informed the ownershipgroup of his decision during a meet-ing Friday morning. He plans tospend more time with his familyonce he’s through, including seeingmore of his 10 grandchildren.
“It has been an honor to representthe Giants the last 16 years,”Magowan said in a news release.
“The decision to retire was not aneasy one. But it is the right one formy family and me. I have spent thelast 29 years as head of two incredi-ble organizations — Safeway and theGiants. I put everything I had interms of time, energy and commit-ment into my work and inevitablymade some sacrifices.”
Magowan, one of the more publicowners in baseball, was mentionedin the Mitchell Report that came outin December. Magowan then metwith commissioner Bud Selig duringspring training about whether mem-bers of the Giants’ front office knewplayers were allegedly using steroids
and performance-enhancing drugs.The decision to bring Bonds to
San Francisco came soon afterMagowan bought the team before the1993 season. The Giants were closeto moving to Florida beforeMagowan’s group bought the teamfrom Bob Lurie.
The addition of Bonds revitalizedbaseball in San Francisco and con-tributed to the opening of the fran-chise’s privately funded waterfrontballpark in 2000. Last summer, theGiants hosted the All-Star game.
Bonds became baseball’s homerun king last year. He has since beenindicted, accused of lying to a grand
jury about his alleged use of perfor-mance-enhancing drugs.
Magowan parted ways with theslugger and seven-time NL MVP inSeptember, about a month afterBonds broke Hank Aaron’s recordwith No. 756.
The Giants made the playoffs fourtimes under Magowan’s rule. In2002, they came close to winningtheir first World Series since movingWest in 1958, falling five outs shortin Game 6 against the Angels.
Magowan also signed left-handerBarry Zito to a $126 million, seven-

Potter Valley and first baseman Warren Foster (No. 14) get an out on first in thesecond inning of their final home game in Potter Valley Thursday afternoon.
By ANTHONY DIONThe Daily Journal
As temperatures soared inthe triple digits on Thursdayafternoon, the Potter ValleyBearcats waged a battle withAnderson Valley for secondplace, the baseball diamondacting as the default battle-field.
Succombing to a 10-8defeat at the hands of perhapstwo enemies, the heat andtheir opponent, the Bearcatswalked off the field of theirfinal home game of the 2008season with their heads down.
In a sad microcosm of theirentire season, Potter Valley(8-11, 6-4) dug themselves adeep hole in falling behind 6-0 early to Anderson Valley.They would answer back inthe fourth and fifth inningsled by Jay Tiedemann whofinished 2 for 4 with a triple,RBI, two stolen bases and tworuns scored.
“I thought we’d start hang-ing our heads and give up, alot of teams would have, wedidn’t,” said Potter ValleyHead Coach Tim Conrad.“This team kept fighting.”
Their fighting paid off inthe fourth, as they wererewarded with two runs insupport of starting pitcherWyatt Matthews. Matthewsleft after pitching four inningsin which he allowed just twohits and a walk but still gaveup six runs -- five of themearned -- while striking outthree.

BALTIMORE — Like any trueA-lister, he kept the masses waitingfor hours.
Then Big Brown made his grandentrance.
Accompanied from the airport bya police escort with sirens flashing,the dazzling colt pulled into thePimlico Race Course shortly after 8p.m. Wednesday and headed for theprime spot of real estate on thegrounds — the corner barn occupiedeach year by the winner of theKentucky Derby.
For added flair, two UPS trucksflanked the convoy as it rolledthrough the gates, Those boxy,brown trucks had never made adelivery quite like this one.
Fans, horsemen, the media —everyone, really — had waited impa-tiently for the BBOC (Big Brown onCampus). The entire sport has itsTriple Crown hopes pinned on thestar who claimed the racing stage forhimself following a 4 3/4-length vic-tory at Churchill Downs on the firstSaturday in May.
Right now he has the fanfare thatgoes along with the luxe life of aDerby winner and the odds-onfavorite for the Preakness. It willcontinue as long as he wins Saturdayand moves on to the Belmont in threeweeks.
Right now, it’s good to be theking.
“He gets love all the time,” trainerRick Dutrow Jr. said.
And why not? The rest of the fieldhas endured a week being treatedlike lowly subjects, their names rec-ognizable to few outside their innercircle. Only Gayego decided to fol-low Big Brown from the Derby —and he finished 17th two weeks ago.So anticipated was Big Brown’sarrival that when a horse van showedup just before 8 p.m., the mediahorde scurried into position.
False alarm.The van was carting a pair of other
entrants, Racecar Rhapsody and TresBorrachos, and once that becameclear, no one cared. The horseswalked off the van and to their stablewithout a single photographer ontheir tails. When Big Brown showed
up nearly three hours late because ofbad weather in Louisville, Ky., allthat was missing was the red carpet.
“Big Brown’s a serious horse,”said Ken McPeek, who trainsRacecar Rhapsody.
The Big Brown bravado is whatseparates the leadup to Preaknessfrom the Kentucky Derby. Thecelebrities on Millionaire’s Row atChurchill Downs are as much thestory before the race as the horsesthat run for the roses. What’s JessicaSimpson wearing? Where will thePlaymates party? Hey, isn’t that O.J.Simpson?
At Pimlico, the Derby champ isthe main event, period.
“The minute he arrived,” saidChick Lang, Pimlico’s former gener-al manager, “he was a celebrity.”
Dutrow loves the spotlight andhe’s added plenty of his own hypewith brash boasts that Big Brown isthe horse to beat Saturday. No takingit “one race at a time” with Dutrow.He’s already professed to dreamingabout the Triple Crown and howawesome it would feel to sweep theDerby, Preakness and Belmont for
the first time in 30 years.“I believe he enjoys the attention,”
Dutrow said, referring to his starpupil. “I believe he likes meetingnew people.”
That a little tough right now.Two garbage cans were stationed
about 10 feet from the stakes barnFriday and roped to the front of thefence in a square to keep enthusiastsfrom poking their noses anywherenear his snout.
“No flash photography, folks,”yelled a security guard. “Please keepyour distance.”
The low-hanging awnings alsomade it tough to catch a peek of BigBrown munching away on hay install 34. No, not even Big Browngets to feast on crabcakes or Boog’sBBQ.
The stall is next to No. 40, the tra-ditional throne of the KentuckyDerby winner at the end of the stakesbarn. A sign over the stall reads,“Stall 40 was the home of these out-standing Preakness winners,” includ-ing Carry Back (1961), Secretariat(1973), Affirmed (1978) and SmartyJones (2004).
Dutrow said he was honored tohave Big Brown sleep in that barnfor a few nights.
“When we used to be stabled herejust a few barns away, I used to comeover here when all the big horseswould come in and I would alwaysdream about having one in that stall,”the Maryland native said. “It’sthrilling.”
Not all the Derby champs stickwith the traditional winner’s stall.Fusaichi Pegasus was stabled in aquieter barn and trainer Bob Baffertonce feared War Emblem would bedistracted by a nearby filly and sta-bled him in stall 32.
Dutrow said he made the switch athis brother’s suggestion, though hedidn’t exactly say why.
The stakes barn is watchedaround-the-clock by six securityguards, who’ve had a quiet week sofar. Any time Big Brown exits,though, the squad jumps into action.
“Stay back! Stay back!” they bel-low. “Back up and make room!”
Stragglers quickly part, giving thecolt all the space he needs to stretch

Big Brown treated like a champ upon arrival at Preakness

NEW YORK — NFLowners could opt out of theiragreement with the playersunion next week, leavingopen the possibility of a2010 season without a salarycap.
The labor agreement is onthe agenda for the leaguemeetings in Atlanta onTuesday.
“If they don’t do it nextweek then it will be soonafter that,” Gene Upshaw,the executive director of theNFL Players Association,said Friday. “They want toopt out and we don’t.”
In the agreement signed inMarch of 2006, both sideswere given the right to getout of the deal by Nov. 8,2008. League officials notedthat doesn’t mean that a deci-sion could not be made earli-er.
That contract was due toexpire at the end of the 2013season. If the owners nullifyit, a move that has seemedinevitable for a while, itwould end after the 2011season with 2010 beinguncapped.
The end of the agreementdoes not necessarily meanthat there will be a workstoppage, although Upshawhas predicted that the ownerscould lock out the players in2011. But the early opt outalso could lead to earliertalks on a new deal, whichthe owners feel has leanedtoo far toward the players —Upshaw already has had sev-eral preliminary meetings,including one recently withJerry Richardson of Carolinaand Pat Bowlen of Denver,two of the owners expectedto be involved in the negoti-ations.
And despite predictions
that owners with more cashwould corner the market onstar players in an uncappedyear, there are safeguardsagainst that, notably a provi-sion in the contract, firstsigned in 1993, that extendsthe period needed from freeagency from four years to sixif that happens.
The early termination ofthe labor contract has beenexpected for at least the lastsix months.
Several owners have com-plained that the current deal,which gives 60 percent ofthe revenues to the players,has been too one-sided. Itwas done at the last momentand was the last major act offormer commissioner PaulTagliabue, who managed toput together a coalition ofhigh-revenue, middle-rev-enue and low-revenue teamsto ratify the contract.
Only two low revenueteams, Cincinnati andBuffalo, voted against it.
Since then, however,high-revenue owners, suchas New England’s RobertKraft, have also supportednegotiating for a new deal.And if a vote is taken, 24 ofthe 32 teams would have tovote to extend it, somethingthat is highly unlikely tohappen.
One problem, league offi-cials note, are rising andunpredictable bond rates,which leave teams likeDallas and the New YorkGiants and Jets, who arebuilding new stadiums, withrising costs and rising debton their bonds. TheCowboys’ Stadium is sched-uled to open next season andhost the 2011 Super Bowland the new facility for theNew York teams is sched-uled to open in 2010.
Owners may opt out oflabor deal next week

For The Daily JournalIn Ukiah’s Babe Ruth base-
ball league action, the Metsdefeated the Rockies in a verycompetitive, hard-foughtgame on Wednesday.
Down 5-3, the Mets ralliedin the bottom of the sixthinning to take an 8-5 lead. TheMets then sent Zac H. to themound to close out the gameand he did just that, finishingoff the Rockies with a greateffort, striking out the last twoRockies batters he faced.
“I am very proud of myteam and the efforts theyshowed throughout thegame,” said Mets Head CoachJody Helms. “Not once didthey get down on themselveswhen they were behind inscores and when they ralliedin the sixth inning, all theplayers were cheering andeven had the crowd in thebleachers rooting the playerson.
“I am proud to be part ofthis team and want to thankmy players for such a fun andexciting game.”
Early on, both teams strug-gled to come up with any hitsas the pitching for both sides
was very good. However, thetwo teams made up for it withsolid base running includingmultiple stolen bases with themen they did manage to geton.
Mets shortstop Brian E.performed at the top of hisgame defensively, stoppingseveral line drives from enter-ing the outfield and providingsecond base support. Brianalso made the teams firsthomerun even though the hitremained in the field of play.
Game balls will be given toboth Brian and Zac for theirextraordinary efforts at theirnext game in Santa Rosaagainst the A’s.

SAN ANTONIO — The San AntonioSpurs just won’t go away. Not that ChrisPaul expected them to.
“They’re the defending champs,” theNew Orleans Hornets All-Star pointguard said Thursday after the Spursforced a Game 7 in the WesternConference semifinals. “They weren’tgoing to lay down for us.”
The Spurs avoided elimination with a99-80 victory, and will head back to NewOrleans for Monday’s decisive game.
And for the first time in these playoffs,the Hornets are facing elimination.
“The great thing about it is whenGame 7 comes, we’re not down by 20,”Paul said. “It starts all over back at zero-to-zero.”
Manu Ginobili scored 25 points, TimDuncan had 20 points and 15 rebounds,and Parker added 15 points in Game 6.
“I think as a team, everybody playedwell,” Parker said. “For us to win, I thinkTimmy needs to be aggressive and hewas aggressive tonight. He played verywell, passing when he had to. ...Everyone was making their shots.”
Paul led the Hornets with 21 pointsand eight assists, and Tyson Chandlerscored 14 points. David West had 10points on 4-of-14 shooting before leavingthe game early in the fourth quarter afteraggravating a back injury.
“It’s sore right now. Good thing wehave two or three days here to get restand treatment. It’s the way it happenssometimes,” West said.
A road team has yet to win in this
series. In fact, the home team has woneach game going away.
“Bottom line is we haven’t won attheir house,” Duncan said. “We haven’tgone in their gym and we haven’t playedwell at all. We’ve gotten blown out everytime. We’re happy to force a seventhgame. We’re happy to go in their gym.And we believe we’re a good road team,and we’re going to do our best to make agame of it.”
Home teams are 20-1 in the secondround of the playoffs.
“If I could figure out what’s going onwith this home court stuff, I would bottleit and sell it to the other 29 teams in theleague,” Hornets coach Byron Scott said.
Game 6, like the five before it, waswon by double digits. It was also won,like those before it, in the third quarter,when the Spurs outscored the Hornets20-12.
The Spurs took the lead for good afterParker’s jumper with 4:27 left in the firstquarter broke a 17-all tie. They led by asmany as 24.
The Spurs hit 11 of 21 3-pointers, ledby six from Ginobili. The Hornets hadjust two 3s.
The Spurs shot 49 percent from thefield (38-of-77) to the Hornets’ 41 per-cent (33-of-80) and outrebounded them45-40. The Spurs had 28 assists — sixfrom Duncan — and the Hornets had 13.
The Spurs came out with desperateenergy, shooting 71 percent in the firstquarter. They led by as many as 13 in theopening period after Bruce Bowen’s 3-pointer made it 36-23. The Spurs took a36-24 lead into the second quarter.
In the third, the Hornets got into quickfoul trouble. Paul picked up consecutiveoffensive fouls, his third and fourth, andWest picked up his second and third, allin a span of 1:05.
Then West picked up his fourth fouland, visibly upset about it, got a technicalwith 8:44 to play.
“It was just bad timing to have thosekind of fouls at that particular time,”Scott said. “Because you get the twooffensive fouls on CP (Paul) and then oneon David, that takes away a possession, achance to score.”
West did not score again in the quarter,but Paul kept his composure, hittinganother layup and jumper and feedingChandler for two more dunks.
After Chandler’s second slam, whichbrought the Hornets within 71-63, theydidn’t score for the last 4:44 of the periodand the Spurs pulled away.
Duncan sank a shot over Chandler,then hit a layup and pumped his fist afterIme Udoka blocked Paul’s layup attempt.
The Spurs were firmly in control andGinobili’s back-to-back 3s to start thefourth quarter gave San Antonio an 84-63lead and put away the game.
With 10:11 left in the game, West leftthe court with an aching back.
West fell to the floor after beingscreened from behind by Spurs forwardRobert Horry, who was called for anoffensive foul. Laying face down on thefloor, West put his left arm behind himand rested it on his lower back beforegoing to the locker room.

“Like Peter, I have been aGiants fan almost my entirelife,” Neukom said. “Whileno one will be able to matchwhat Peter has accomplishedthese past 16 years, I amexcited about the opportunitybefore me, and I look forwardto continuing the great workof this organization.”

the score resting at 8-2. In thefifth, though, Tiedemann ral-lied his teammates with aclutch triple as the Bearcatsscratched and clawed theirway through Anderson’sdefenses for five runs, cuttingthe previously insurmount-able deficit to just one run.
The comeback for PotterValley would fall short thereunfortunately. AndersonValley quickly added twomore runs and the Bearcatswould only manage one morein the sixth, the final score 10-8.
“I was very proud of theheart my team showed today,”said Conrad, “the way theykept fighting and didn’t giveup.
“I was very happy with Jay[Tiedemann] today. He reallyled the charge emotionallyand with his bat.”
Matthew Moore also fin-ished 2 for 4 for Potter Valley,with two runs scored.Matthews, the pitcher, went 1for 2 with an RBI and runscored. C.J. Hutchins thencame on in relief in the fifthinning and closed out thegame.
With the loss, Potter Valleysettles in with a third placefinish in league, having doneso with a second-half of sea-son turn of events in whichthey won eight of their last 11games after beginning 0-8.

those spindly legs.While other horses around
the barn have largely beenignored, Big Brown was theonly one with a watch party inthe grandstand during hisworkouts. Fans flocked to hisearly morning gallops —even coming out in the rainand slop — often drawinglarger crowds than the measlyshowings for the day’s card atPimlico.
Forget the Smarty Party. ATriple Crown for Dutrow’sboy would lead to a BigBrown Bash.
And it might keep the coltin action longer, giving fans achance to see him run in theBreeders’ Cup instead of dis-appearing like a lot of 3-year-olds do after the classic springraces.
And that would be a shamebecause this horse knows he’sThe Man and doesn’t mindstriking a pose.
Big Brown stood in placewithout a fuss Thursday whilehoof impresario IanMcKinlay glued new shoeson the colt’s troublesomefront feet. McKinlay heldeach hoof in his hand — likegiving a diva a pedicure —save for the scraping, clip-ping, sanding and gluing.
Amid all that grinding, BigBrown turned his head to theright and flashed his teeth ascameras clicked. Exerciserider Walter Blum Jr. whis-pered something to a securityguard, who shouted, “Moveback!”
They all did.

DULUTH, Ga. (AP) —Jonathan Byrd took advantageof soft fairways and receptivegreens at TPC Sugarloaf onFriday, shooting his secondstraight 6-under 66 to take athree-stroke lead in the AT&TClassic.
Byrd, seeking his fourthPGA Tour victory, shared thelead with Kenny Perry, RyanPalmer and two others whenthe second round began.
The course was drenchedwith over an inch of rainThursday and, though no pre-cipitation fell in the secondround, overcast conditionskept the sun from drying offthe fairways and greens andmaking the course play faster.
Perry and Palmer shot 69sto drop into a tie for second.Parker McLachlin, anotherfirst-round leader, shot a 70 todrop into a three-way tie forfourth with Charles Howell III(69) and David Toms (69) at 8under.
Defending champion ZachJohnson (70) and Sugarloafresident Stewart Cink (71)were seven strokes back at 5under.
Byrd, who finished sixth in
2006 and tied for ninth in ’07,was in the final group twoyears ago when PhilMickelson finished the tour-nament a staggering 28 under.
Mickelson’s penchant forattacking a course ripe for lowscores impressed Byrd.
“I watched him just kind ofstay aggressive, stay aggres-sive, stay aggressive, and hekept making birdies,” Byrdsaid. “And I just kept tellingmyself that today. It’s windy,but the greens are soft, so I’vegot to keep trying to hit itclose and keep trying to makebirdies.”
Byrd was upset with him-self for a mental lapse that ledto a three-putt at the par-5sixth. It marked the only holehe played over par in the sec-ond round and just his secondof the tournament.
“You just can’t give awayshots in a PGA Tour eventwith guys that are this good,”Byrd said. “And that was justa pure giveaway. You do thatin junior golf. You don’t dothat on the PGA Tour, but ithappened and it might moti-vate me to play better.”
Byrd makes most of easyconditions

Dear Annie: I am a widow. I met a goodman back in 2003 and we hit it off really well.I moved in with him at the end of the year. I am54 and “Lou” is 50. He has always been abachelor, with no kids. He’s met my two grownchildren and my seven grandkids. At firsteverything was wonderful, but little by little,I’m noticing all the things he dislikes aboutkids.
Lou is reclusive and doesn’t enjoy company.He also doesn’t like to go out much. He askedme to marry him, bought my rings and startedplanning a wedding. Then, after a while, henever brought up the wedding anymore, andwith that cue, I didn’t bring it up either. I final-ly moved out of his house last year and movedin with my brother. I still spend the night at hishouse on occasion.
My thing is, I want marriage, and he keepstelling me that it “could happen later on inlife.” At one time, he said if he were to get mar-ried, I’d be the woman he would choose. I’m
tired of spending nights at his house and wouldlike something more permanent.
Should I just move on or continue thearrangement we have? This man is a wonderfulperson in all other ways. What should I do? --Baltimore Widow
Dear Widow: There are reasons Lou hasremained a bachelor. If you want marriage,look elsewhere because this man is not goingto take the plunge. If you are content to havehim as an occasional companion, that’s fine,too. There is no right or wrong option. Decidewhat is best for YOU, and then you will knowwhat to do about Lou.
Dear Annie: My father-in-law recently
passed away. My family has expressed to metheir sympathy and asked me to send their loveand condolences to my wife, which I havedone. However, my wife is upset that none ofthem contacted her directly to say anything,even at my daughter’s recent birthday party.They greeted my wife with hugs, but noneasked how she was doing or said they weresorry.
I know my family cares and probablythought it was better not to say anything (espe-cially at the party) that might upset her.They’ve tried to be supportive by helping withthe kids. I’ve explained to my wife that it’shard for some people to know what to say. Butshe is really disappointed and upset. Still, itseems too late to change anything now.
Annie, what is someone expected to say ordo when a friend or relative’s loved one pass-es? -- Gary in Golden State
Dear Gary: For heaven’s sake, tell yourparents they must express their sympathy toyour wife as soon as possible. She needs tohear it, and any direct expression of concern isbetter than nothing. We’ll help: “Laura, we areso sorry we haven’t said anything about yourfather’s passing. We thought it would upsetyou, but we should have spoken up earlier. Youmust miss him terribly. Please know you havebeen in our thoughts.”
Dear Annie: I would like to respond to“Distraught Mother-in-Law,” who saw herson-in-law’s e-mail inbox with a “reply” froma dating website. She should calm down andlearn something about junk e-mail.
Spammers typically craft junk e-mails tolook like a response to a request. I havereceived tons of e-mails with subject lines thatread, “Here’s the nude photo you wanted” or“Your credit application has been approved.”
Spammers know you are more likely tocheck out an e-mail if it appears to be some-thing you wanted rather than a blatant ad pitch.-- Junk E-Mail Savvy
Dear Savvy: Many readers suggested the“reply” was spam, and we suspect this is thecase (you should see OUR mailbox). We hope“Distraught” talked to her son-in-law beforejumping to conclusions.

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.
