In the coming weeks, aseries of new signs alongHighway 101 south
of Willitswill serve as a drivable memo-rial to a fallen Caltrans
work-er.
“The Daniel BroeskeHighway” will stretch frommile post 32.1
through milepost 33.1, which is 0.2 milesnorth of Forsythe
CreekBridge to 0.5 miles north ofthe West Road overcrossing,near
where Friday’s ceremonywas held.
“I’m honored to have thisbeautiful one-mile stretch ofhighway
dedicated,” saidCharles Fielder, CaltransDistrict 1 director. “Dan
gavehis life making the highwaysafe for others. He was anamazing
individual.”
Tamie McGowen, Caltransassistant deputy director, saidshe first
worked with Broeske19 years ago when she startedwith Caltrans.
“Dan always had a way ofmaking me feel welcome,”she said. “He
always treatedme with respect and dignity.He never compromised
safe-ty.”
Broeske was killed in awork-related accident nearWillits on the
RidgewoodGrade on July 11, 2005, whenthe safety spotter had
beendistracted by a cell phone call,according to Terry Poplawskiof
the Mendocino CountyCoalition of Union Members.
Broeske was an Air Forceveteran and a 1975 graduateof Sonoma
State University,who worked for Caltrans for26 years.
Mic Restaino, Caltransengineer, said he was honoredto have
worked alongsideBroeske.
“He’s the kind of workerevery supervisor would like tohave,” he
said. “I have somememories of driving this roadmyself. There’s a
lot of histo-ry here, and I’m glad I couldhelp make Dan a part of
it.”
For those who reside near-by, the roadway will soonbecome part
of their dailycommute.
“It’s an honor for me to behere,” said Karen Osland,Willits City
councilmember.“For those of us who live inWillits, the Daniel
Broeske
Highway will become part ofour lives.”
Daniel’s widow, PatsyBroeske, had been working ona project
regarding the use ofcell phones as a safety hazardand has been
working withCaltrans to implement a pro-gram of “No Cell
Phonesinside the Cone Zone.”During the ceremony, shereceived a
plaque with thenew policy inscribed on it,signed by Caltrans
DirectorWill Kempton.
“Dan would be pleased,”said Jim Broeske, Daniel’sbrother. “He is
conspicuousby his absence. This location
is very appropriate for a testi-monial.”
In March, state Sen.Patricia Wiggins (D-SantaRosa) introduced a
resolution,Senate Concurrent Resolution90, calling for the
dedication.
A series of signs have beenset up declaring the roadwayas such,
but at the ceremonyWiggins said it would be ashort delay before
they couldbe revealed.
“Unfortunately, legislationdoesn’t move as fast as we’dlike it
to sometimes,” she saidof the resolution, which wasstill waiting
for final approval.

Sundays in the Parkkicks off with theRiders in the Sky
For more pictures of the first 2008 Sundays in thePark,
featuring the Riders in the Sky, see page 14.
The Daily JournalStarting today, all residential and open
outdoor burning per-
mits have been suspended in Mendocino County by
CalFire.“Mendocino County fire history shows that suspending
debris burning is an effective way of preventing wildfires
fromdebris burn escapes, especial as California enters the
hottestand driest period of summer weather,” said CalFire
MendocinoUnit Chief Mark Romero.
Campfires will still be allowed at organized campgrounds oron
private property as long as the campfire is maintained insuch a way
as to percent the campfire from spreading to wildland
vegetation.
A restricted temporary burning permit can still be obtainedin
instances where continued burning is necessary for publichealth,
safety or welfare. The ban will remain in place until it isformally
canceled.
The spring of 2008 is already one of the driest seasons onrecord
and conditions have already contributed to several largefires
across California that have destroyed homes.
“Although all fires cannot be prevented through a
burningsuspension, their number can be significantly
reduced,”Romero said.

The businesslike traveler turns tourist: Bush soaks in Europe
like only a president can
LONDON (AP) — Tea at Windsor Castle with QueenElizabeth II, bike
rides in a Paris park and the lush Germancountryside, a stunning
view from a Renaissance villa outsideRome, a rare stroll with the
pope in the Vatican’s private gar-dens?
Not a bad life. It seems President Bush is learning to enjoythe
perks of traveling abroad as the most powerful man in theworld.
The usual Bush foreign trip is packed from dawn (or earlier)to
dusk (or later) with meetings, roundtables, official dinnersand
speeches. All those things are present, too, on this week’sEuropean
farewell, the fifth of eight or more overseas jaunts heis taking
this year. Iran, Iraq, climate change, trade, the MiddleEast — all
those weighty and difficult problems have dominat-ed his
discussions with fellow leaders.
The difference on this super-glam European tour, probablyBush’s
last one to the continent as president, is the pace.
He hasn’t gotten going on a couple of days until 10 or 11 inthe
morning. There was downtime in the afternoons, and evenone day — in
Rome — that ended about 4 p.m.
Forecasters say flood crest at Iowa City may not be as high as
expected in university town
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Displaced residents trickledback into
the hardest-hit areas of Cedar Rapids on Sunday fortheir first
up-close look at flood devastation, while a forecast ofan earlier
and lower flood crest at Iowa River sparked hope thatthe university
city would escape a similar fate.
The National Weather Service had predicted a 33-foot crestearly
Tuesday in Iowa City, home of the University of Iowa, butthe latest
projection on Sunday showed the Iowa River isexpected to top at
about 31.5 feet and hold there before startingto fall Monday
evening.
At a Des Moines press conference, Gov. Chet Culver calledit “a
little bit of good news” but said the situation was still
pre-carious.
“Just because a river crests does not mean it’s not a
serioussituation,” he said. “You’re still talking about a very,
very dan-gerous public safety threat.”
Weather service meteorologist Donna Dubberke said leveebreaks
downstream on the Iowa River might explain the lowercrest.
On Mideast trip, Condoleezza Rice criticizes Israeli settlements
in West Bank, east Jerusalem
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s persistent building of Jewishhomes on
disputed land undermines the U.S.-backed attempt towrite an
Israeli-Palestinian peace draft this year and invitesquestions
about Israel’s motives, Secretary of StateCondoleezza Rice said
Sunday.
Using exceptionally harsh language, the visiting U.S. envoy
said Israel must understand the pall its actions cast over
talksand on the confidence of the United States, European
nationsand others that Israel is bargaining in good faith. She said
theJewish state has apparently picked up the pace of
housingexpansion since President Bush inaugurated negotiations with
asplashy summit at Annapolis, Md.
“We should be in a position of encouraging confidence,
notundermining it. No party should be taking steps at this point
thatcould prejudice the outcome of the negotiation,” Rice said
fol-lowing meetings with Palestinian officials in the West
Bank.
She said Israeli actions are having a “negative effect” on
theatmosphere for talks, and she stressed that the United
Stateswon’t regard any settlements Israel builds now as
permanentIsraeli territory.
Israel announced last week it would build 1,300 new housingunits
in east Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want as theirfuture
capital. The announcement brought to more than 3,000the number of
homes Israel has approved for construction ineast Jerusalem and the
West Bank since the renewal of peacetalks late last year.
On Father’s Day, Obama says fathers must play a biggerrole in
guiding children
CHICAGO (AP) — Barack Obama celebrated Father’s Dayby calling on
black fathers, who he said are “missing from toomany lives and too
many homes,” to become active in raisingtheir children.
“They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like
boysinstead of men. And the foundations of our families are
weakerbecause of it,” the Democratic presidential candidate
saidSunday at a largely black church in his hometown.
Reminding the congregation of his firsthand experiencegrowing up
without a father, Obama said he was lucky to haveloving
grandparents who helped his mother. He got support,second chances
and scholarships that helped him get an educa-tion. Obama’s father
left when he was 2.
“A lot of children don’t get those chances. There is no mar-gin
for error in their lives,” said Obama, an Illinois senator.
“I resolved many years ago that it was my obligation to breakthe
cycle — that if I could be anything in life, I would be a
goodfather to my girls,” added Obama, whose daughters, Sasha
andMalia, and his wife, Michelle, watched from the audience.
Pew study finds Americans turn to Internet to go beyond sound
bites, seek full speech, papers
NEW YORK (AP) — Americans dissatisfied with politicalsound bites
are turning to the Internet for a more complete pic-ture, a new
study finds. In a report Sunday, the Pew Internet andAmerican Life
Project said that nearly 30 percent of adults haveused the Internet
to read or watch unfiltered campaign material— footage of debates,
position papers, announcements andtranscripts of speeches.
“They want to see the full-blown campaign event. They wantto
read the speech from beginning to end,” said Lee Rainie,director of
the Pew group. “It’s a push back from the sound-biteculture.”
Google Inc.’s YouTube and other video sites have becomemore
popular. Thirty-five percent of adults have watched apolitical
video online during the primary season, compared with13 percent
during the entire 2004 presidential race.
The study also found that 10 percent of adults have usedonline
hangouts like Facebook and News Corp.’s MySpace forpolitical
activity, whether it’s to add a campaign as a friend ontheir
personal profile pages, discover a friend’s political inter-ests or
join an online political group.
Supreme Court decision on gun rightsstill to come before summer
break
WASHINGTON (AP) — One momentous case down, anoth-er equally
historic decision to go. The Supreme Court returns tothe bench
Monday with 17 cases still unresolved, including itsfirst-ever
comprehensive look at the Second Amendment’s rightto bear arms. The
guns case — including Washington, D.C.’sban on handguns — is widely
expected to be a victory for sup-porters of gun rights. Top
officials of a national gun controlorganization said this week that
they expect the handgun ban tobe struck down, but they are hopeful
other gun regulations willsurvive. Last week, the court delivered
the biggest opinion ofthe term to date with its ruling, sharply
contested by the dis-senting justices, that guarantees some
constitutional rights toforeign terrorism detainees at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba. The 5-4decision, which Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for
his fourmore liberal colleagues, was the first case this term that
brokealong ideological lines.

City should stop wastingmoney on consultations
To the Editor:The City of Ukiah is at it again.Let’s hire a
consultant to design a pro-
ject. We do not know exactly what theproject is but we have some
grant moneyto spend and match from our local funds.So (by a three
to two vote, McCowen,Thomas and Rodin for, and Crane andBaldwin
against) they hire a consultant,RRM Design Group for $130,000 at
thecouncil meeting on May 22 to do a designproject for State
Street.
We do not know what the project is butafter we get the report we
will have a pro-ject.
What a farce.We have in the recent past been sub-
jected to several other undirected pie inthe sky study efforts
with the sameamount of forethought, which have result-ed in the
Perkins Street design plan. Wehave watched Charades (Charrets) and
theresultant pie in the sky design and formbased zoning proposals
flow out of thedreams of the staff and the hired consul-tants. The
misguided effort had consultantcosts of more than $100,000. That
wasjust a start, you need to add the City ofUkiah staff costs and
expenses to thatamount. I would estimate it equaled theoutside
consulting costs.
This is just the tip of the iceberg inlooking at what the City
spends of studiesand consultants. Some of the other studiesas
foolish and unfruitful, involved thehydro plant, and the sewer
plant. Wewatched the power plant eat up some $20million in cash
over a 10 year periodwhile it sat idle and un-used.
We have watched the city budgetnearty double in two years. The
04-05budget was $45 million and 07-08 budgetis $82 million. At this
rate what will it bein two years? So much for fiscal
responsi-bility.
The cost of the city government foreach resident is $5,300 per
year. The costfor each resident of the county for countygovernment
is $2,300. The County ofMendocino has several responsibilitiesthat
the city does not have, primarily thesocial services.

Thank you UVMC, keep up the good work
To the Editor:It is sad to see that some people these
days have no compassion or considerationfor people in need. What
happened to theGood Samaritan or even chivalry?
In the midst of all the chaos and busi-ness, I am very grateful
for the kindness,empathy and professionalism that Ireceived from
Ukiah Valley MedicalCenter.
I injured my foot in April of this yearand had to go the UVMC
emergency room.I could not get a ride to the hospital thatday and
finally broke down from pain andcalled my mother (from another
county) totake me to emergency that evening.
My wonderful mother, of course, cameimmediately. I truly
appreciate the respectand kindness that the entire staff showedme
at UVMC.
Thank you to all the people there whomput in long hours in a
stressful job and stillmanage to smile and treat people with
dig-nity.
On the other hand, after my trip from theER, I needed to get
medicine at a localpharmacy on Perkins Street. I was told thatit
would take about 20 minutes so I went tothe grocery store to get
supplies.
I regrettably took too long hobblingaround the store on crutches
and got backlater than expected. I called the pharmacyto see if I
would still be able to pick up myprescription.
The pharmacy tech, said that he wasclosing in five minutes.
While I was apolo-gizing for the inconvenience and tellinghim that
I would come back tomorrow, hehung up the phone, or at least
thought hedid. I over heard him speaking unprofes-
sional and obscene language to another co-worker, saying “these
people think they cando this blank, we’ll teach her a lesson.Let’s
just leave and lock up before she getshere. Hurry up she’s on her
way here rightnow.”
He even referred to me by my name, so Iknew he knew exactly who
I was. All thewhile I was asking if he could hear me andstill
apologizing. This is the last thing youneed to go through after
hours of suffering
with no ride while finding out that youhave to wait till
tomorrow for pain medi-cine on top of it. The store employeesinside
the store were very helpful and con-siderate and immediately wanted
to correctthe situation. I’d like to thank the UkiahValley Medical
Center staff again for theirhumanity and the staff inside the store
onPerkins Street.

The Ukiah Daily Journal
California focus
Loud charges of carpetbagging filled the air in largeparts of
California this spring, as two veteran Republi-can politicians
sought to extend their careers by run-ning in areas with open seats
in Congress and the stateAssembly.
In the end, voters apparently didn’t much care ifthese people
had not lived among them very long, asboth Tom McClintock and Jim
Nielsen handily wonRepublican nominations in districts where that
meansalmost automatic election this fall.
The outcomes were no surprise to longtime analystsof California
politics, who have often seen politiciansmove around for their
convenience, with voters rarelyminding much.
The classic carpetbagger was Republican RobertDornan, who
represented much of western Los Ange-les County in Congress for
three terms between 1976and 1982. Often known as B-1 Bob for his
fervent sup-port of bomber-building programs, Dornan saw him-self
as a sure loser after Democratic state legislatorstransformed his
original district after the 1980 Census.
So Dornan sought greener pastures. First, he stageda losing
attempt at election to the U.S. Senate in 1982.Immediately
afterward, he moved about 40 milessoutheast of his longtime
district to the Orange Countytown of Garden Grove, where in 1984 he
defeated five-term incumbent Democratic Congressman Jerry
Patter-son and then served noisily in the House for 12 years.He was
eventually unseated by Democrat LorettaSanchez by a thin 970-vote
margin in 1996, andclaimed his defeat was illegal because thousands
ofnon-citizens had allegedly cast ballots for Sanchez. Buta
congressional investigation could find no more than674 illegally
cast votes, so his loss stood up.
Carpetbagging never hurt Dornan and it has almostnever hurt the
election chances of any California politi-cian. Maybe that’s
because Californians are so mobile,with the average resident moving
once every sevenyears.
The bottom line this month was that when voteswere counted in
both the 4th Congressional Districtand the 2nd Assembly District,
the carpetbaggingMcClintock and Nielsen both won.
Voters in McClintock’s contest against former GOPCongressman
Doug Ose actually had a choice of twocarpetbaggers, of sorts.
McClintock has representedVentura County -- about 350 miles to the
southwest --in the Legislature for most of the past 26 years and
isfinally about to be termed out after spending about halfhis life
in state office.
First elected to the Assembly at age 26 from hishometown of
Thousand Oaks, he served 10 years andthen took a hiatus from 1992
to 1996. Elected again, hespent four more years in the Assembly
before movingto the state Senate in 2000.
McClintock, a conservative icon for his firm opposi-tion to
almost any increased state taxes and spending,has famously made his
principal residence in PlacerCounty, while collecting tax-free
legislative per diempay of more than $300,000 for maintaining a
secondhome far from the district he visited only occasionally.
Meanwhile, primary election rival Ose representedthe neighboring
3rd congressional district -- a seat nowoccupied by fellow
move-around Dan Lungren, a for-mer state attorney general who
represented LongBeach for many years in both the Legislature and
Con-gress before winning statewide office.
Ose rented quarters one district over in an attempt toavoid the
carpetbagger tag he tried to hang on McClin-tock.
Things were slightly different in the nearby 2ndAssembly
District, where Nielsen, a Woodland resi-dent and former 12-year
state senator who later chairedthe state parole board, claimed to
have rented quartersin the hamlet of Gerber and become a district
resident.
When a weekly newspaper in the district discoveredhe hadn’t ever
slept there, rival candidates beganpounding the carpetbagger theme,
noting that Nielsonswore when filing his candidacy that he lived in
thedistrict.
This is a serious matter, said rival Charles Schaupp,a farmer
and Marine reserve lieutenant colonel. We area state and nation of
laws. To run for office…you mustreside in the district.
Unfortunately for Schaupp, most voters in the dis-trict didn’t
appear to care. Nielsen won easily and willalmost certainly return
to the Legislature.
Which ought to warn off other candidates who seizeon residency
issues. History and the latest electionreturns tell us the voters
don’t really care where politi-cians live or how long they’ve lived
there. Maybethat’s because most of us also can remember
livingsomewhere else.

Los AngelesTimesOn the iPhone
For the second time in ayear, Apple has slashed theprice of its
coveted iPhoneby $200. The basic modelnow sells for less than
thecost of an iPod Classic (notcounting the $70 monthlycharge for
using AT&T’smobile phone and data net-work, which
eventuallymakes the purchase moreexpensive than an iMac). ...
They’ll soon find that theiPhone doesn’t delivereverything that
the Web hasto offer. ...
There’s one other restric-tion Apple imposes: It won’tpermit
iPhone users to runInternet-phone programssuch as Skype
throughAT&T’s network. ...
Apple’s anti-Skype stancemay be unusually explicit,but it’s not
uncommon formobile-phone carriers toinclude such prohibitions
intheir subscriber agreements.That’s why Skype, which isowned by
online auctiongiant EBay, asked theFederal CommunicationsCommission
last year toconsider rules that wouldallow consumers to connectany
compatible device to awireless network and runany application on
them. ...
The FCC is scheduled toact on the petition Thursdayand is widely
expected toreject it.
That’s a fair approach,given that the carriers paidthe
government billions ofdollars for the right to usethe airwaves
without theregulations Skype seeks toimpose. Besides,
marketpressures have led all four ofthe major national
wirelesscompanies to announce orimplement plans to opentheir
networks to devicesand applications. Yet thecommission should
makesure the carriers followthrough. Devices like theiPhone will be
limitedenough without the carriersimposing their own
handi-caps.
The New York TimesOn China and theOlympics
Now that the shock of theearthquake (which theycould not
control) inSichuan Province has dissi-pated somewhat,
China’sleaders are focusing againon something that they thinkthey
can control: people.Sports fans attending the2008 Olympics in
Beijingwill have a long list of rulesto carry in their pockets
along with their tickets.Skip to next paragraph
The Board Blog Additionalcommentary, backgroundinformation and
other itemsby Times editorial writers.
... Olympic spectators arebeing told not to bring in“anything
detrimental” toChina, including printedmaterials, photos, records
ormovies. Religious or politi-cal banners or slogans arebanned. So
are rallies,demonstrations and marchesunless approved by
authori-ties in advance. It also saysthat visitors with mental
ill-nesses and sexually trans-mitted diseases will bebarred from
the country. ...
To win the right to hostthe Games, China promisedto improve its
human-rightsrecord. It keeps movingmostly in the opposite
direc-tion. ...
There’s an inherent con-tradiction between China’sdesire to
invite the world tothe Olympics and its effortto deny those
visitors and itsown people the most basicfreedoms. Last week,
an(International OlympicCommittee) official said heis convinced the
Gameswould be a “force for good”in China. The committee andWestern
governments needto remind Beijing that theworld is watching, and so
farthe picture isn’t good.

There are some things thatgo together naturally. Turkeyand
cranberry sauce, choco-late and strawberries and,according to some
wine edu-cators, champagne andseafood.
Popping the cork on a bot-tle of bubbly is often savedfor
celebrations. But as theweather turns warmer, thecrispness of
champagne alongwith the lightness of seafoodare perfect for summer
din-ing.
“Champagne’s bubbles andgood acidity go particularlywell with
salty and richfoods,” explains John Fischer,Associate Professor in
TableService at The CulinaryInstitute of America.
Most champagnes are ablend of chardonnay andpinot noir grapes,
from acrossseveral vintages, and likewine, champagnes rangefrom
sweet to dry.
It's easy to mistakesparkling wine for cham-pagne, but European
lawrequires the name to be limit-ed to wines produced in
theChampagne region of France.Everything else is sparklingwine.
“Sparkling wine pairs justas well with seafood aschampagne,”
said Cancilla.
When it comes to specificpairings, Fisher recommendsthat people
take a relaxedattitude. “Enjoy whateverseafood you want to eat,”
hesaid. “There are no set guide-lines for
champagne-seafoodpairings.”
Champagne classifications:Demi-sec: The sweetest of
Champagnes, they are oftenserved with dessert.
Brut: Very dry form ofChampagne and the mostpopular.
Blanc de Blancs: Madeonly with Chardonnaygrapes.
Blanc de Noirs: Light-col-
ored Champagnes made fromdark-skinned grapes, such asPinot noir
and Pinot meunier.The name means “white fromblacks.”
Rose: Various differentstyles of roses are producedby either
blending in a littlered wine or by letting theclear grape juice
come intocontact with the dark grapeskins.
Vintage Champagne:These are made with grapesfrom a single
harvest. Theyare always made with thebest quality grapes from
aspecific harvest.

The Associated PressSAN FRANCISCO — Eric
Chavez hasn’t changed his approachsince coming off the disabled
list, it’sjust that things seem to be finallyfalling in place.
Chavez had three hits and twoRBIs to help the Oakland
Athleticscomplete their second consecutivesweep of San Francisco,
beating theGiants 5-3 on Sunday.
“I’ve been on the same pace sinceI’ve come back,” Chavez
said.“Some days you don’t feel as goodand you still try to find a
way to con-tribute offensively. Today was agood day.”
Dana Eveland (5-5) gave up a runand six hits in 6 2-3 innings
for theA’s, who have won six straight overthe Giants and four of
five overall.The left-hander walked three andstruck out five.
Eveland, who wonhis first road game since April 25 inSeattle,
walked a combined 13 overhis previous two starts.
“It’s nice to have a decent startagain,” Eveland said. “This
park is agreat place to pitch in and I tookadvantage of that.”
Huston Street pitched the ninth forhis 13th save in 15 chances
in the A’sfirst save opportunity in 17 games,their longest streak
since the 1981season.
“It was a great series for us,” A’smanager Bob Geren said. “We
gotruns when we needed and we did itwithout the home run ball.
Thatshows our versatility.”
A’s pitchers have given up fourruns in the last 48 innings
against theGiants. A’s starters allowed two runsduring the
series.
“It’s pitching, definitely, for us,”Chavez said. “When you get
suchgood pitching performances it givesyou a leg up. The numbers
dictatethat it’s been pitching.”
Kevin Correia (1-4) was activatedfrom the disabled list to make
hisfirst start since getting only one outon April 26 against the
CincinnatiReds. He went 5 1-3 innings, allow-ing five runs and
seven hits. Hewalked two and struck out four as theGiants lost for
the fifth time in sixgames.
“I had a certain plan with themand it worked pretty well the
first
couple times around,” Correia said.“I saw them make adjustments
and itwas that I was making bad pitches.”
The Giants fell to a major league-worst 13-22 at home.
“Home is supposed to be yoursanctuary,” Giants second basemanRay
Durham said. “We’re short ontalent but we have more heart
thananybody in the league. We wereplaying good and then we get
sweptby these guys.”
Chavez, who came in with career.231 mark in San Francisco, tied
thegame with a fourth-inning single andput the A’s ahead in the
sixth withanother base hit. Bobby Crosby,Carlos Gonzalez and Daric
Bartonalso drove in runs in the four-runsixth.
“You have to give their hitters alot of credit,” Chavez said.
“Thispark is a terrible place to hit in. ...The wind howls here and
balls don’tdrop in front of outfielders becausethey don’t have to
play deep.”
Randy Winn drove in the Giants’first run with a third-inning
double.Emmanuel Burriss had a pair of dou-bles.
“I’m definitely comfortable,”Burriss said. “These are big
leaguepitchers. I’m just trying to see theball as well as I can and
trust myhands.”
Pinch hitters John Bowker andBengie Molina each drove in a run
tomake it 5-3 in the eighth.
Chavez has 770 RBIs, tying himwith Hall of Fame outfielder
ReggieJackson for fourth all-time in
Oakland history.Notes: The Giants are winless in
six interleague games this season. ...The A’s have swept six
series thisyear, doubling last year’s total. ...The A’s have not
hit a home run insix games, their longest streak sincealso going
six without one in April of2007. ... The game was delayed sev-eral
minutes in the eighth inningafter Giants 2B Ray Durham lost aball
in a white advertising signbehind home plate. The umpiresasked that
it be corrected. ... The A’shave won 14 of the last 18 gamesagainst
the Giants. ... First battersfaced were hitless in 15 at
batsagainst A’s RHP Keith Foulke untilBowker’s single in the
eighth. ... A’spinch hitters are hitless in their last17 at
bats.

ATHLETICS 5 | GIANTS 3
Chavez leads A’s to sweep of Giants
By DOUG FERGUSONAP Golf Writer
SAN DIEGO (AP) — In a week ofepic moments at the U.S. Open,
TigerWoods delivered the biggest one yet.
It didn’t bring him another major,just another chance.
Down to his last stroke Sundayafternoon at Torrey Pines,
Woodsrapped a 12-foot birdie putt thatbumped along toward the hole
andswirled into the back corner of the cupwithout an inch to
spare.
In a career filled with clutch putts,this one put Woods into an
18-holeplayoff Monday against RoccoMediate, who was in the scoring
roomwatching the 18th hole theatrics unfoldon TV.
“Unbelievable,” Mediate said. “Iknew he’d make it.”
They finished at 1-under 283, thefirst time since 2004 that
someonebroke par in a U.S. Open.
Mediate closed with an even-par 71,missing a chance to eliminate
Woodswhen his wedge to the 18th stayedatop the ridge and left him a
30-footerthat he two-putted for par.
It looked like it might be goodenough when Woods and LeeWestwood
of England, both one shotbehind, hit into the bunker on eachside of
the fairway on the 527-yardclosing hole and had to lay up.
Westwood went first from 15 feetabove the hole, but his putt
lost speedand turned away. He shot 73.
Woods had such a clean lie in thebunker that he might have gone
for thegreen in two if the U.S. Open wasn’ton the line. Instead, he
hit a terribleshot to the right and into the rough,and had to hope
that his 60-degreewedge was the right choice. It settled12 feet
away, giving him yet anotherputt that he couldn’t afford to
miss.
“A little wobbly down there,” hesaid of the poa greens, a grass
that getsbumpier in the afternoon sun. “Iplayed probably 2 1/2
holes outsideright. Just take it back and make a purestroke,
because once it starts slowingdown there ... you don’t know
what’sgoing to happen. All I could control ismy stroke.”
He started to backpedal as the putt
neared the hole, paused to make sure itwas in, then clenched and
pumpedboth fists toward him in rapid-fire suc-cession, screaming
with joy with hisface to the sky.
Woods wasn’t sure he could make it72 holes on a left knee that
has pro-gressively gotten worse since theopening round, his first
since surgeryto clean out cartilage on April 15. Hewas never more
thrilled to get a chancefor 18 more.
He shot 73 and will be in a playofffor the third time in a
major, this one18 holes of stroke play on Monday.
Can his knee take one more roundof golf?
“It’s going to have to,” Woodsreplied.
The 50,000 fans at Torrey Pines,who thought they had seen it all
duringa most remarkable week, now get a lit-tle bit more.
It will be the first playoff at the U.S.Open — the only major
that goes 18holes of overtime — since RetiefGoosen defeated Mark
Brooks atSouthern Hills in 2001.
“I’m playing against a monstertomorrow morning,” Mediate said.
“Iget to play against the best player thatever played. Whatever
happens, hap-pens. I’m happy that I’m here and Iwill give it
everything I have and seewhat we do.”
The birdie concluded a week inwhich Woods played the first
tworounds with Phil Mickelson, shot 30on his back nine Friday to
get into con-tention, took the 54-hole lead Saturdaywith two eagle
putts totaling 100 feet,and wobbled on a knee that oftenturned a
megawatt smile into a painfulgrimace.
The knee didn’t seem to bother himas much Sunday — certainly not
whenhe launched into the wildest celebra-tion of the week.
“I took some things to kind ofrelieve that,” Woods said of the
sore-ness.
Adrenaline maybe?“Uh, that helps, too,” he said.Mediate made
only one bogey over
the final 13 holes, seizing on his best— and perhaps only —
chance to wina major. He is No. 157 in the world,
and no one outside the top 100 hasever won the U.S. Open since
therankings began in 1986.
Monday will not be the first timethey have tussled. Mediate
played witha 23-year-old Woods in the final roundof the Phoenix
Open in 1999, where heled by six shots and held on to win bythree.
It was one of his five PGA Tourvictories.
“Battle royale,” Mediate said ofwhat awaits. “The thing that is
mostamazing is the man I’m going to playtomorrow has won 13 of
these. It’samazing how much it takes. I gave allI had today and I
can’t complain.”
Woods has never lost a major whenhe had at least a share of the
54-holelead, and he came close to throwingthis one away on a series
of question-able decisions and poor shots.
He tried to reach the 13th green intwo from 291 yards when a
birdie wasnot necessary, then pulled it into a haz-ard and walked
off with bogey to slipone shot behind Mediate, who hadbirdied the
14th ahead of him.
Woods then laid up with an iron onthe 14th, where the tees were
movedup to make it play only 267 yards, hita sand wedge 20 feet
beyond the holeand made par. And two shots into theright rough on
the 15th led to a bogeythat put him one shot behind.
Standing over an all-or-nothing putton the last hole, Woods
again deliv-ered.
It was reminiscent of the 2000 PGAChampionship at Valhalla,
where hemade a six-foot birdie putt that brokeboth ways to get into
a playoff againstBob May, the critical piece on his wayto four
straight majors.
“It feels very similar to whatValhalla felt like,” Woods said.
“If Ididn’t make that putt, I don’t get tocontinue to keep playing.
At best, Igave myself a chance to win the tour-nament tomorrow. And
that’s all I canask for.”
Westwood, trying to become thefirst European in 38 years to win
theU.S. Open, fell just short. He had aone-shot lead at the turn
and fought tostay in the game after consecutivebogeys early on the
back nine.
“It’s sickening not to be in the play-
off tomorrow,” he said. “But all in all,I played pretty good all
week. And ifsomebody said, ’You’re going to havea chance for a
playoff on Monday,’then I would have probably taken thatat the
start of the week. I think I’veproved to myself and a few others
thatI think there is a major championshipin me.”
Woods even being in contention onthe back looked uncertain the
way hestarted.
In the final group for the sixth timein the last eight majors,
this one waspacked with curiosity over the state ofhis knee, and it
showed. Fans stood 25rows deep behind the tee, and those inthe top
row of the bleachers on the18th hole turned to watch. Amongthose in
the crowd was his swingcoach, Hank Haney, who pleaded asWoods
settled over the tee shot,“C’mon, buddy.”
He snap-hooked the tee shot overthe gallery, and so began
another jour-ney to double bogey — his secondshot was left and hit
a tree, his thirdshot clipped another tree and stayed inthick
rough, his fourth didn’t reach thegreen, and he got up-and-down for
a 6.
That put him 7-over for the week onhis opening hole, and was his
thirddouble bogey on No. 1. After a three-putt bogey — his fourth
of the week— on No. 2, he didn’t make anothermistake until the
13th.
Woods is 14-1 in playoffs, com-pared with Mediate’s 2-0
record.
But this will be the first 18-holeovertime for Woods, playing on
awounded knee against a 45-year-oldwith a back so creaky he once
contem-plated retirement. Now, Mediate feelsas though he has
nothing to lose.
“I don’t know how you make oddson that,” Mediate said. “Who knew
Iwould be here playing against himtomorrow?”
Then he noticed Woods standing atthe door of the interview
room.
“And you better watch yourselftomorrow, pal,” Mediate said
playful-ly. “See, he’s a little nervous rightnow.”
Woods joined the laughter.Nervous? Probably not. But defi-
nitely thrilled to still be playing.

Editor’s Note: This editorialwas written by Skip Newall ofPotter
Valley in response tostories written in the New YorkTimes and the
Press Democratregarding the sportscaster’slife and death.
Your story about thegreat sportscaster JimMcKay in the Sunday
edi-tion brought back manymemories for me.
What a great person,announcer and mentor tome. As your story
told, hechanged the world of sportsfor many years in
manycountries.
I got to work with JimMcKay over many years asan expert color
commenta-tor for ABC Wide World ofSports television shows.
In 1964, I was advertis-ing manager for SurferMagazine. We
startedSkateboarder Magazine in1965 and Hobie Alter ofHobie
Surfboards and BruceBrown, famous surfing filmmaker and I put on
the firstInternational SkateboardContest in a park inAnaheim. We
got WideWorld to cover the eventand they put a blue blazeron me to
announce theshow for Wide World. It
introduced skateboarding tothe world.
Then, they asked me todo more shows with BillFleming, Charlie
Brockman,Keith Jackson and JimMcKay. After each show onsite at the
events, ABCwould fly me to Manhattanfor a week of doing editingand
audio layovers.
They put me up in theEssex House on CentralPark South and we
workedin the ABC studios at 52ndand 6th, Avenue of the
Americas.A show I did for ABC in
1966 was the HuntingtonBeach Surfing Contest andit was one of
the biggestviewership shows that yearon Wide World of Sports.Then
the show won aGolden Globe at the CannesFilm Festival in France
asthe Best One Hour SportsShow of that year. Theyflew me to
Manhattan againand we lunched at the CafeDes Artists in
LincolnCenter with the trophy on
the table. Seated at the tablewas Jim McKay, BillFleming and ABC
WideWorld of Sports ExecutiveProducer Roone Arledge.What a
wonderful time inmy life.
In 1968 I was on thecover of Hot Rod Magazinewith our off-road
dunebuggy, all souped up andthen entered the Baja Off-Road
1,000-mile race.
Jim McKay interviewedme in the Porsche powereddune buggy at the
starting
line and we started justbehind the Unser Brothers,Mario Andretti
and a jackedup Oldsmobile Toronadowith James Gamer andSteve McQueen
on board.What an event.
Jim McKay was a dearfriend and mentor to meover the years. What
a greatrole he and the other sports-casters at ABC did to showall
the famous sportingevents on television to theworld. Thank you...
JimMcKay.
