The funding will pay for 362 pro- jects statewide and bring California’s transportation spending for the 2005- 2006 fiscal year to a record high of $4.2 billion. In Ukiah, four projects received a total of $449,000. According to Director of Public Works/City Engineer Tim Eriksen, the funding was applied for through the Mendocino Council of Govern- ments, the regional transportation planning agency that allocates state and federal transportation funds to the County of Mendocino, the four incorporated cities of Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Willits and Point Arena, and Caltrans. Two of the Ukiah projects, valued at $300,000 collectively, are being funded by the State Transportation Improvement Program. Work on these projects, which includes the rehabilitation of railroad crossings at Gobbi Street, Perkins Street, Talmage Road, Clara Avenue, Ford Street, Commerce Drive, Airport Road and Plant Road, will begin next summer, according to Eriksen. Eriksen said the Ukiah projects were approved by the state in 2002, and funding was awarded at that time, but that problems in the state budget delayed the allocation until now. Also in Ukiah, $131,000 was allo- cated for improvements at the inter- section of Gobbi Street and Orchard Avenue that include the construction of a traffic signal, sidewalk, curb, gutter and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps. Eriksen noted that half the cost of the traffic signal will be paid for by property owners. Work on this project will also begin in summer 2007. Work on the final project in Ukiah, however, will begin this sum- mer, according to Eriksen. The pro- ject, which was allocated $18,000, will see the construction of ADA ramps on North State Street at the intersections of Empire Drive and Ford Road. All four Ukiah projects, Eriksen said, are funded in full and will be completed by private contractors through the city’s bidding process.

Military says al-Zarqawi tried to getaway from soldiers in dying moments
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — As he lay dying, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi could barely speak, and he struggled and tried to getaway after Iraqi police put him on a stretcher in the ruins of hishideout.
But American forces recognized his face, and knew they hadthe leader of al-Qaida in Iraq.
For three years, al-Zarqawi orchestrated horrific acts of vio-lence guided by his extremist vision of jihad, or holy war —first against the U.S. soldiers he considered occupiers of Arablands, then against the Shiites he considered infidels.
On Wednesday, the U.S. military tracked him to a housenorthwest of Baghdad, and blew it up with two 500-poundbombs.
Al-Zarqawi somehow managed to survive the impact of thebombs, weapons so powerful they tore a huge crater in the datepalm forest where the house was nestled just outside the townof Baqouba.
Iraqi police reached the scene first, and found the 39-year-old al-Zarqawi alive.
Bush says elimination of Al-Zarqawi‘helps a lot’ with security problems
CAMP DAVID, Md. (AP) — President Bush said Friday theelimination of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi “helps a lot” with securi-ty problems in Iraq but won’t bring an end to the war. He alsosaid it was unclear when Iraqi security forces could take controland let U.S. troops go home.
Bush declined to embrace the goal set by the new prime min-ister for Iraqi forces to take responsibility for security through-out the country within 18 months.
“We’ll get a realistic appraisal about the capacity for stand-ing up Iraqi troops as this new government begins to functionas a government,” the president said.
Bush spoke at a news conference with Danish PrimeMinister Anders Fogh Rasmussen at Camp David, the presi-dential retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains. The two lead-ers, both fitness advocates, also went bike riding.
With the war dragging down his approval rating and cloud-ing Republican election hopes for November, Bush will conferat Camp David on Monday with national security advisers andmembers of his Cabinet. On Tuesday, the president and his teamwill hold a video conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and a dozen or so of al-Maliki’s Cabinet ministers.
Appeals court backs Bush on wiretapsWASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court sided with
the Bush administration Friday on an electronic surveillanceissue, making it easier to tap into Internet phone calls andbroadband transmissions.
The court ruled 2-1 in favor of the Federal CommunicationsCommission, which says equipment using the new technologiesmust be able to accommodate police wiretaps under the 1994Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, knownas CALEA.
Judge David Sentelle called the agency’s reading of the lawa reasonable interpretation. In dissent, Judge Harry Edwardssaid the FCC gutted an exemption for information services thathe said covered the Internet and broadband.
The FCC “apparently forgot to read the words of the statute,”Edwards wrote.
FCC chairman Kevin Martin said the decision ensures thatlaw enforcement’s ability to conduct court-ordered electronicsurveillance will keep pace with new technology.

RELIGION BRIEFSBy JENNIFER DOBNERThe Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY --Joseph Smith dreamed big in1830 when he founded TheChurch of Jesus Christ ofLatter-day Saints. He imag-ined an army of saints thatwould spread the Gospel andrestore for the world what hesaid was the true church.
But Smith could not haveanticipated that one day shar-ing the Mormon messagewould include nine satellites,the translation of speechesinto 86 languages and an armyof more than 1,500 volunteersmaking sure that its twice-yearly conference comes offwithout a hitch.
In 1830, just a handful ofchurch leaders and membersattended the first GeneralConference. This weekend,when Mormons gather for the176th year of the event,roughly 12 million memberswill witness the proceedings,whether by television, radio,the Internet or as part of theaudience in the 20,644-seatSalt Lake City ConferenceCenter downtown.
Producing the conference isa master-level feat of organi-zation that includes plenty ofchallenges.
“You bring 21,000 peopletogether and sure there aregoing to be issues,” said DougBalls, manager of event oper-ations for Temple Square andthe conference center. “Butyou can say, there’s 21,000problems, or 21,000 opportu-nities to serve, and that’s theway we like to look at it.”
During the event, Balls isstationed in the operationscenter — a booth at the backof the conference hall — jug-gling a pair of phones and awalkie-talkie to stay in touchwith staff throughout thebuilding. He’s also checking abank of video screens moni-
toring traffic routes and park-ing lots outside, as well loca-tions inside the 1.5 million-square-foot building.
Before show time, Ballsmonitors a computer that tellshim how many ticket-holdersare entering the facility perminute, so he can make deci-sions about filling the house.Seats on the theater’s lowerlevels are filled first.
“There are a lot of movingparts,” says Brent Roberts,director of headquarters facili-ties, who was sitting alongsideBalls in the control booth.
“But there’s a lot of people tohelp.”
Balls has more than 1,000church missionaries assignedto his staff. Their jobs rangefrom ticket-taking and securi-ty to directing conference-goers to bathrooms and per-forming custodial servicesbetween the five sessionsthroughout the weekend.
Sometimes they also takecare of last-minute, unexpect-ed details, Balls said.
Like the time churchPresident Gordon B. Hinckleyasked for a hymnal just
moments before the event wasto begin. But the conferencecenter isn’t stocked with hym-nals, Balls said. After a scram-ble, one was located anddelivered to Hinckley withabout 45 seconds to spare.
“We should have had onethere,” Balls said, noting thata rack of hymnals is now keptbackstage.
Not far from Balls’ opera-tions booth is another nervecenter, the audiovisual controlrooms where the conferencebroadcast is produced, direct-

To the Editor:Eighteen thousand dollars was raised to
fight cancer during the third annual FashionShow on April 30, 2006 at the beautifulBrutocao Cellars. The Crushed Grape pro-vided a gourmet luncheon which added aspecial touch to the event. Many modelsrelated their reasons for modeling for rela-tives, friends who had cancer with emotionof feelings and love. The event was a successbecause of the following: the local sponsorsgave generously to support the AmericanCancer Society in its attempt to wipe out thisdreadful disease; the local artists who gavebeautiful paintings for the silent auction; themany local merchants who donated items forthe raffle and auction; the retail stores whoprovided apparel for every age group formodeling their beautiful clothing which wasthe highlight of the day; the generosity of thecommunity in purchasing tickets well inadvance so that the event was sold out by thefirst of March. Finally, we want to recognizeour committee who worked so hard over anine month period to make this event hap-pen. It is through all our efforts that we willone day “dress down cancer.”

Thoughts while hikingTo the Editor:When you’re walking in the woods,
everyone has their own thoughts. Kate upahead is listening for tanagers, their song somuch like a grosbeak’s that she has to listento how long they sing it to tell.“No,” shesays, “it’s singing too long, almost non-stop.It’s a grosbeak.”
Ingo is just glad to be here. He’s only beenin Mendocino County a year. He thinks it’sgreat to be able to hike a trail that is not man-icured and mowed, trampled to dust and harddirt. In these woods up the Trout Creek trailabove the Eel River past Potter Valley, helikes to see things be left to decay.
There are 20 of us walking in this forestthat is like the day, shady and cool, a feelingin the shade and the green that is like mist inthe air. Like it could rain just in here.
We’ve driven about 30 miles to get here,and Neal is thinking it shouldn’t be like that.“You shouldn’t have to drive five miles from
Ukiah to get to Cow Mountain so you canget out of your car and walk.” Neal buildstrails with the Ukiah Trail Group. He says,“something like a third of all the land inCalifornia is owned by the state. But it does-n’t help if a lot of that is up in ModocCounty. It doesn’t help us around here withpublic access.”
Phyllis Curtis helped organize this hikesponsored by the lnland MendocinoConservation Trust, a group that believes insaving land from development, from ero-sion, from loss, land that Phyllis says couldbe just as easily saved. Whether the landsaved ever gets hiked or not is not her con-cern. She and her group’s first priority is notletting the land we have, get away.
The reason we’re hiking Trout Creektoday is because, according to Beb Ware,this land might get away, or at the very least,the trees on it. “As part of their bankruptcy,”Ware explains, “PG and E has to basicallygive away for public use some of the 40,000acres of wild land they own. If they start withthe 5,000 acres along the Eel River, then theBLM or the Forest Service will take controlof it And they’ll allow logging.” Ware hopesto have an easement put in to any deal withPG and E that would prohibit logging on it’sforfeited land along the Eel
The trail rises and rises. There’s poisonoak and ferns, moss and fungi. The mosswraps the rocks in thick, green towels. Thefungi sit on the logs like birds with roundtail-feathers up. The roar of the rushing creekis a nice, quiet sound to go with the silenceup here. But down there, it roars.
When we stop for a minute, Ryan, fromWillits, spots mountain lion scat on the log.He pokes a stick through it and you can seehair. “Probably a rat,” he says. “They eatrats.” He has with him a thick book on mush-rooms with pictures and curled pages. “Idropped it in a stream once,” he says, “andthat’s what happens.” With me, I have a bookon California Indians written in 1872 byStephen Powers. Powers visited and livedwith the tribes he wrote about. If I haveplaced it right, matched up our modern mapswith Powers’ description and locations, thenwhen we leave these woods we will pass theKai Pomo village of Mumemet. Descendingfurther homeward along the Eel we willcome near Poomoo, Shanel, and Sedam, vil-lages of the Ballo Kai Pomo, the “Oat ValleyPeople,” in what is now Potter Valley. Allplaces we made or let get away.

In praise of themaligned sweatshop
From the desk of...MAUREEN DOWD
Damien, demonsand Dubya
Maureen Dowd, winner of the 1999Pulitzer Prize for distinguished commen-tary, became a columnist on The NewYork Times' Op-Ed page in 1995 afterhaving served as a correspondent in thepaper's Washington bureau since 1986.
Nicholas D. Kristof was appointed to a specialpost as columnist for The New York Times in2001.
WASHINGTON -- As I write this on 6-6-06,with a new Damien demonically tricyclingthrough movie theaters trying to kill his mom ina remake of “The Omen,” let us now speak offamous bogeymen.
The Bushes have always been good at usingbogeymen to their political advantage.
Lee Atwater, the devilish strategist for BushSenior, turned an obscure criminal namedWillie Horton into the Candyman in 1988,whipping up the fear that if Michael Dukakiswere elected president, hordes of swarthy skelswould be freed on weekend parole and swarminto your neighborhood.
W.’s supporters beat back the McCain threatin the 2000 South Carolina primary by spread-ing gossip that the Arizona senator had fathereda black baby -- a creepy distortion of the factthat he and his wife had adopted a little girlfrom Bangladesh.
Karl Rove, an Atwater acolyte, had a closet-ful of bogeymen whisking W. past the finishline in 2004: terrorists who might strike again,gays who wanted to get hitched, stem cellresearch, Darwin, a Dan Rather whose scoopturned sour, and a Swift-boated John Kerry.
W. prefers tactical betes noires to real ones.(Hillary followed his lead by joining conserva-tives to support a constitutional ban on flagburning.)
The president had a truly terrifying bogey-man in Osama but instead conjured up a fakenuclear villain in Saddam. He has played downbin Laden, first diverting the resources neededto capture him and now diverting the moneyneeded to protect against his likely targets, let-ting homeland security funds be moved fromNew York and Washington.
As Mike Crowley of The New Republicnotes, the FBI does not even mention 9/11 in its“Ten Most Wanted Fugitive” profile of Osama.The poster, updated in November 2001, saysbin Laden is wanted in the bombings of the U.S.Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya that killed200 in 1998, and “is a suspect in other terroristattacks throughout the world.”
Fearing that their monopoly on Washingtonpower could be coming to an end, with votersgrumpy at Republicans over Iraq, gas prices,Medicare, Social Security, corruption, wildspending and general incompetence, Bushstrategists have revived the gay marriageFrankenstein to scare the base into turning outfor midterms. (That bride of Frankenstein hadbetter be female.Same-sex marriage is far lessspooky than the 17 severed heads recentlyfound in a village northeast of Baghdad, or theterror suspect accused of conspiring to beheadthe Canadian prime minister.
W. ignored the gay marriage issue in the 19months after he used it to help him stay in theWhite House. To reprise it now, knowing it hasno chance of passing, is so transparent that sure-ly even the most blinkered “values” voters seethrough it.
When pollsters ask Americans their top pri-orities, gay marriage does not leap onto the list.In a new ABC News poll, only 4 in 10 surveyedwere in favor of rewriting the Constitution, witha majority supporting the idea that states shouldmake their own decisions about gay marriage.
Even as W. gave a speech here promoting aconstitutional amendment designed to demo-nize and discriminate against a group ofAmericans who have done nothing wrong, hisheart did not seem to be in it. A Democraticstrategist noted on CNN that the presidentlooked as cowed as “a long-tailed cat in a roomfull of rocking chairs.”
Wrestling with Iraq and Iran have worndown W., and he knows, as we do, that a coupleof middle-aged guys who want to tie the knot inProvincetown is not the worst threat Americafaces.
With our Marines getting refresher coursesin “core values” after alleged atrocities andcover-ups in Iraq, and with Dick Cheney pro-moting values like torture, government snoop-ing and pre-emptive war, it rings hollow toopportunistically proselytize on family values.(Mary Cheney, the gay daughter of the vicepresident, told interviewers recently that herfather opposes the marriage amendment.)
As a New York Times reader who sometimese-mails me put it: “The ‘values’ voters turn outto be opinion voters. They believe that Godhates homosexuals, that superstition trumps sci-ence every time, that all those foreigners oughtto be sent back where they came from, and thatall government programs are wasteful andimmoral, except, of course, for the governmentprograms which benefit them. Those are opin-ions, not values, and willfully ignorant opinionsat that.”
I know Republicans are desperate. But doesit make sense to use gay love to hatemongerhere when we have so much real hate coming atus from abroad?
WINDHOEK, Namibia -- Africa desperately needsWestern help in the form of schools, clinics and sweat-shops.
Oops, don’t spill your coffee. We in the West mostlydespise sweatshops as exploiters of the poor, while thepoor themselves tend to see sweatshops as opportunities.
On a street here in the capital of Namibia, in thesouthwestern corner of Africa, I spoke to a group ofyoung men who were trying to get hired as day laborerson construction sites.
“I come here every day,” said Naftal Shaanika, a 20-year-old. “I actually find work only about once a week.”
Shaanika and the other young men noted that the con-struction jobs were dangerous and arduous, and that theywould vastly prefer steady jobs in, yes, sweatshops.Sure, sweatshop work is tedious, grueling and some-times dangerous. But overall, sewing clothes is consid-erably less dangerous or arduous -- or sweaty -- thanmost alternatives in poor countries.
Well-meaning American university students regularlycampaign against sweatshops. But instead, anyone whocares about fighting poverty should campaign in favor ofsweatshops, demanding that companies set up factoriesin Africa. If Africa could establish a clothing exportindustry, that would fight poverty far more effectivelythan any foreign aid program.
Namibia was supposed to be a pioneer in Africa’s gar-ment industry, for it is stable, pleasant and safe, and itsgovernment has tried hard to entice foreign investors.On the edge of Windhoek are a series of low factories setup to produce garments for the American marketplace.
The biggest is the Ramatex Textile Factory, aMalaysian investment that employs 6,000 people. Butthe owners say they are losing money and will pull out,and other factories have stopped operating as well.
In Windhoek’s Chinatown, I met Sun Zhimei, aChinese woman who operates a small factory employingNamibians. “I’d like to help this country, by boosting itsgarment industry,” she said. But on the day I visited, herfactory was deserted. “It’s cheaper to import goods allthe way from China than to make them here,” she com-plained.
The problem is that it’s still costly to manufacture inAfrica. The headaches across much of the continentinclude red tape, corruption, political instability, unreli-able electricity and ports, and an inexperienced laborforce that leads to low productivity and quality. The anti-sweatshop movement isn’t a prime obstacle, but it’s onemore reason not to manufacture in Africa.
Imagine that a Nike vice president proposed manu-facturing cheap T-shirts in Ethiopia: “Look, boss, itwould be tough to operate there, but a factory would bea godsend to one of the poorest countries in the world.And if we kept a tight eye on costs and paid 25 cents anhour, we might be able to make a go of it.”
The boss would reply: “You’re crazy! We’d be boy-cotted on every campus in the country.”
So companies like Nike, itself once a target of sweat-shop critics, tend not to have highly labor-intensive fac-tories in the very poorest countries, but rather more cap-ital-intensive factories (in which machines do more ofthe work) in better-off nations like Malaysia orIndonesia. And the real losers are the world’s poorestpeople.
Some of those who campaign against sweatshopsrespond to my arguments by noting that they aren’tagainst factories in Africa, but only demand a “livingwage” in them. After all, if labor costs amount to only $1per shirt, then doubling wages would barely make a dif-ference in the final cost.
One problem -- as the closure of the Namibian facto-ries suggests -- is that it already isn’t profitable to payrespectable salaries, and so any pressure to raise thembecomes one more reason to avoid Africa altogether.Moreover, when Western companies do pay above-mar-ket wages, in places like Cambodia, local managersextort huge bribes in exchange for jobs. So the workersthemselves don’t get the benefit.
One of the best U.S. initiatives in Africa has been theAfrican Growth and Opportunity Act, which allowsduty-free imports from Africa -- and thus has stimulatedmanufacturing there. But last year, partly because ofcompetition from China, textile and clothing importsunder the initiative fell by 12 percent.
The Congo Republic’s president, Denis Sassou-Nguesso, told me that he would love to have more fac-tories. It’s incredibly frustrating, he noted, to see Africancountries export cotton, timber and other raw materialsbut rarely have the chance to process them. TheAmerican initiative “is a step in the right direction,” hesaid. “But it needs more of a push.”
One push needs to come from African countriesthemselves: a crackdown on corruption and red tape. Butanother useful step would be for American students tostop trying to ban sweatshops, and instead campaign tobring them to the most desperately poor countries.

ed and sent via satellitearound the world.
Mormons believe thatfounder Smith was specifical-ly directed by God to share themessage of Jesus Christ, andthe church is well-known forsending its missionaries toproselytize in 165 countries.
Nowhere does that missionseem more clear than in theeffort the Mormon churchmakes in broadcasting andtranslating the conference ses-sions.
Conference first hit the air-waves back in 1924, but onlyon the radio and only inEnglish.
By 1949, there was a black-and-white television broad-cast, shot on 16 mm filmthrough a periscope that cameup from the floor of the base-ment of the Tabernacle, whereconference was held until2000, said Lyle Shamo, man-aging director of audiovisualservices.
These days, thanks to mil-lions of dollars in state-of-the-art equipment — church offi-cials won’t say how many
millions — conference isdelivered in high-definitionbroadcast quality to membersin 83 countries. In addition tosending the broadcast viasatellite into more than 5,700church facilities around theworld, the proceedings will airon 18 television and 1,700cable stations.
“We’re in a whole newworld, and it’s wonderful,”said Shamo.
“But the key to it all in thetechnical area is not necessar-ily how many cameras youhave or what type of settingyou have, but what you can doto enhance the message. Themessage is the key to confer-ence. We don’t want anythingto be disruptive of that.”
Conference is available in86 languages, from Arabicand Armenian to Kiribati,Marshallese, Navajo,Portuguese, Sinhala,Slovenian, Tagalog and Urdu.New to the offerings this yearare the Western African lan-guages of Efik, Lingala andYoruba. The church alsotranslates in American SignLanguage and providesclosed-captioning in Englishand Spanish.
About 98 percent of church
members can hear GeneralConference in their primarylanguage, said Paul Kern,manager of interpretation ser-vices. “We’ve got a plan to beat 100 percent by 2010.”
Non-English speakersattending the proceedings inSalt Lake City can pick up atranslation headset at the con-ference center to listen to theproceedings in their nativetongues.
What they’re hearing arelive translations of churchleaders’ talks, provided byabout 700 volunteers, many ofwhom are holed up in 58translation booths inside theconference center. Most of thetranslations occur live fromSalt Lake City, although 21languages are translated inremote locations around theworld, Kern said.
Getting the translation rightis a combination of artistryand training, Kern said. It’s soimportant that the church hasworked with music andspeech professionals to devel-op a training program fortranslators.
“Not everyone is blessedwith a beautiful voice,” Kernsaid. “But with practice, theycan develop.”

Ukiah native ledEagles with .414batting averageThe Daily Journal
Maybe it was the year off. Maybe it was the new
coach.Maybe it was just Lindsay
Ruddick.Whatever
it was,Ruddick, aUkiah nativea n dM e n d o c i n oCollege firstbaseman, isnow the recip-ient of aSpring 2006Ukiah DailyJournal SportsAward.
“What I’dalways heardabout her wasthat she wasall-field, no-hit,” saidM e n d o c i n ohead coach Kelvin Chapman.“That wasn’t the case. Shesprayed line drives all overthe park this whole seasonagainst some of the best pitch-ers in the state. I was justdelighted with how sheplayed.”
Ruddick, who took a yearoff after graduating fromUkiah High School in 2004,turned out to be an all-field,all-hit player for first-yearcoach Chapman asMendocino shocked the BayValley Conference on its wayto a second place finish inleague and a berth in theCalifornia Community
College state playoffs. Defensively, Ruddick was
almost perfect. The freshmanregistered 275 putouts withjust two errors for a .993 field-ing percentage.
Anyone who got to see theEagles play at least once wassure to see Ruddick make aplay in the field at some pointthat elicited “oohs,” and
“aahs.”“She was
incredible,”C h a p m a nsaid. “Shesaved a lot ofw o u l d - b eerrors one r r a n tthrows.”
At theplate, she wasequally awe-inspiring.
R u d d i c kled the Eagleswith a .414batting aver-age, and alsowas tops inat-bats (140),
hits (58), and RBIs (42). In those 140 at-bats,
Ruddick struck out just twice.She also added six stolenbases in six attempts for goodmeasure.
Perhaps Ruddick’s crown-ing achievement, though,came not on the field, but in ameeting of BVC coaches.
“At the coaches meetingfor all-conference teams, Ibrought her name up andevery coach in the room justsaid to skip her,” Chapmansaid. “They all said she was ano-brainer and that she was in.That’s the highest reward shecould have got.”

From wunderkindto world leader
KRT photo
At only 24 years old, California native Landon Donovan is playing in his second World Cup for the UnitedStates and is considered by many to be the team’s next captain.
Donovan is already one of most accomplished players in U.S. historyBy RONALD BLUMThe Associated Press
HAMBURG, Germany — LandonDonovan was asked about the chain hewas wearing.
“It’s from my fiancee,” he said. “It’sSanskrit. I’m kind of Buddhist.”
A European reporter wanted toknow what it meant.
“It’s the glorious endless knot,” heanswered. “Don’t worry about it. Itsays we’re going to do well in theWorld Cup.”
A wunderkind at the 2002 tourna-ment, Donovan returned home miser-able from his first two extended staysin Germany, unable to earn a regularstarting job with the Bundesliga’sBayer Leverkusen.
Now he’s back in Deutschland, notquite for revenge, but to show what heand American soccer players can do.
At 24, he already is among the mostaccomplished soccer players in U.S.history, small in stature at 5-foot-8 butwith as large a presence as anyone. Hehelped inject self-confidence into a
program plagued with self-doubt,became the youngest player to scoremultiple goals at the 2002 World Cupand now very likely is the U.S. cap-tain-in-waiting.
“He’s a player that our team is high-ly dependent on,” U.S. coach BruceArena said. “And now he’s a 90-minute player in every aspect of thegame. A tremendous player, a tremen-dous personality, I think he brings a lotof confidence to our team, so I thinkthis is going to be a real good WorldCup for Landon.”
He already is the career assistsleader for the United States with 23,and his 25 goals are third, trailing onlyEric Wynalda (34) and Brian McBride(30).
Yet, for all his superlative play, he’sgone scoreless in 15 games since lastJuly 9 against Canada.
With his receding hairline, calmdemeanor and deliberative thoughtprocess, he’s instantly recognizable onthe field and off, where’s he’s becomethe focal point of the marketing
machine that’s lifted soccer in theUnited States to its most visible level.
And he knows he’s expected to be adynamic force when the Americansplay the Czech Republic in their WorldCup opener on Monday night.
“I need to be. I need to be,” he said,repeating himself for emphasis.“People want me to do that. Peoplewant me to get the ball a lot, they wantme to do things, they want me to run atpeople and make plays happen. Andthat’s when I’m at my best, too.”
Faster than American players in pre-ceding generations, the Californianative was 16 when he signed withBayer Leverkusen in 1999, and whenhe won the Golden Ball as MVP of the1999 FIFA Under-17 WorldChampionship — where the UnitedStates finished fourth.
But, unable to get into a game inGermany, he was loaned to MajorLeague Soccer’s San Jose Earthquakesin 2001, and scored 32 goals in 87

Spain's Rafael Nadal cele-brates after defeatingCroatia's Ivan Ljubicic intheir semi final of theFrench Open Friday.
NadalintofinalsBy STEVEN WINEThe Associated Press
PARIS — Roger Federerovercame a dismal start Fridayto earn his first berth in a FrenchOpen final, leaving him one winshy of his fourth consecutiveGrand Slam title.
Now all he has to do is beatRafael Nadal.
With a pair of semifinal victo-ries, tennis’ top two players setup the Sunday showdown thatmost everyone has anticipatedsince the tournament began. Itwill be a clash of streaks: thetop-ranked Federer’s 27 consec-utive wins in Grand Slam match-es, and defending championNadal’s record 59 wins in a rowon clay.
“To play in our first GrandSlam final against each other, Ithink that’s quite special, youknow, No. 1 and No. 2 in theworld,” Federer said.
The last time Nos. 1 and 2met for the men’s title at RolandGarros was in 1984, when IvanLendl beat top-ranked JohnMcEnroe.
The marquee matchup brieflyappeared in jeopardy. Down oneset and 3-0 in the second,Federer rallied and led 3-6, 6-4,5-2 when No. 3-seeded DavidNalbandian retired with aninjured abdominal muscle.
Nadal advanced in morestraightforward fashion againstNo. 4 Ivan Ljubicic but took 2hours, 49 minutes to win 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (7).
Key A’ssit outBy MIKE FITZPATRICKThe Associated Press
NEW YORK — With short-stop Bobby Crosby sidelined bya sore right hand, the OaklandAthletics recalled infielder MikeRouse from Triple-ASacramento on Friday andoptioned left-hander RandyKeisler to the RiverCats.
Rouse was set to make hismajor league debut against theNew York Yankees. He was inthe starting lineup, playing sec-ond base and batting ninth.
“It’ll be interesting: YankeeStadium, Friday night, he’s aleft-handed hitter and he’s facingRandy Johnson,” Oakland man-ager Ken Macha said. “Welcometo the big leagues.”
Marco Scutaro started atshortstop for the A’s in place ofCrosby, who hurt his hand whenhe fouled a ball off in the eighthinning Thursday at Cleveland.X-rays were negative and he isday to day, Macha said.
“He tried to do some baseballactivities, couldn’t make ittoday. It’s a possibility he mightbe in there tomorrow,” Machasaid.

Feds want Bonds ex-girl quietBy DAVID KRAVETSThe Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — FBI agentsasked Barry Bonds’ ex-girlfriend not tocooperate in Major League Baseball’ssteroid probe while a federal grand juryinvestigates whether the Giants sluggerlied under oath about drug use.
Attorney Martin Garbus said Fridaythat agents asked Kimberly Bell not toassist former Senate Majority LeaderGeorge Mitchell in the independentinvestigation he is heading.
“I would say they want to protecttheir own prosecution,” Garbus said.“The consequence is, yes, they areimpeding the Mitchell investigation.”
The FBI declined to comment Friday
and Mitchell did not immediately returncalls for comment.
Garbus said Mitchell wrote him May31 and demanded “that Ms. Bell cooper-ate with my independent investigationof alleged steroid and performance-enhancing drug use in major leaguebaseball.”
Bonds would be entitled to learnwhatever the former girlfriend tellsMitchell, Garbus said. If that informa-tion conflicts with what she told federalauthorities, Bonds could use it to under-mine her credibility in court.
“She might say something that thefeds would rather her not,” Garbus said.
Garbus said he was mulling whetherto keep his client mum or comply with
Mitchell’s demand.Bonds’ lawyer, Michael Rains, also
speculated agents want to keep Bellfrom talking to Mitchell because shecould hinder their case with inconsistentanswers.
“Maybe they realize when Kim Bellstarts answering questions, it’s gonnabecome clear that she first tried to extortBarry for money, that she changed herstories about various things and haschanged it since then and will change itagain,” Rains said.
Rains said Bell allegedly “heardBarry talk about using things, noticed hehad acne and was subject to moodswings.” Acne and mood swings can beside effects of steroid use.

MLS games over four sea-sons.
He returned to Leverkusenin 2005 but lasted just 2 1/2months, failing to become aregular starter and becomingdisillusioned at the oftenincommunicative manner ofEuropean coaches. He wasdejected at his fortunes, deter-mined not to remain so farfrom home. When he returnedfor a pair of World Cup quali-fiers, he spoke at length withhis longtime girlfriend,actress Bianca Kajlich.
That was it.Auf wiedersehen,
Leverkusen. Hello, LosAngeles.
He transferred to theGalaxy, returning to MLS.
Now he has a chance to showGermany what he can do.
“I don’t have any extramotivation in that sense, hon-estly,” he said. “We can lookback and speculate and saythis and that. It didn’t workout, for whatever reason.That’s certainly notLevekusen’s fault, that’s cer-tainly not Germany’s fault.There’s plenty of blame to goaround, including on myself. Ididn’t play well when I washere. So I don’t have anyexcuses. It just didn’t workout.”

The Best LocalNews & Sports
7 Days-a-Week
Dear Annie: My ex-husband, the father ofour three children, just had his third major caraccident due to his diabetes. When he checkedhis blood sugar in the morning, it was quitehigh, so he took a fast-acting insulin tablet.That made his sugar drop too low, and later, hewent into a diabetic coma while driving hissports car. He totaled the car, but fortunately,he was not seriously hurt.
My ex has had minor mishaps in the pastbecause he has a difficult time regulating hisblood sugar. Usually, if he feels a drop, he willpull over to the side of the road, but he doesn’talways get there in time. Although he has neverhurt another person, I fear he will cause amajor accident and perhaps kill someone.
His doctor reported this to our stateDepartment of Motor Vehicles, and his licensewas invalidated. However, my ex also has adriver’s license in a neighboring state. DoDMVs communicate with each other? Whathappens if my ex moves to another state so he
can drive? -- Very ConcernedDear Concerned: The federal government
maintains a National Driver Register that listsdrivers whose licenses have been suspended orrevoked. However, since your ex-husbandalready has a second license, there would be noreason for the DMV to check the register. Youmight call the DMV in your neighboring stateand ask if there is anything you can do aboutthis, and possibly enlist the help of your ex’sdoctor -- not only to report him, but so the doc-tor can find out why he is having such a hardtime regulating his blood sugar.
Dear Annie: My husband and I divorcedseven years ago, but we both live in the same
area where our children attend school.Everyone knows everyone else, either by faceor name. The whole community knows we aredivorced.
My ex and I share custody of the kids,although they live with me. All school papersreflect this. My problem is with sports events.The parents, typically women, completely cir-cumvent me and give the paperwork and per-mission slips to the children’s father. I am theone who pays the children’s expenses, andsometimes forms don’t get to me until thedeadline has passed.
This is not the way to get cooperation fromdivorced parents, Annie. It is insulting, frus-trating and unnecessary. I used to think thesewomen were cold and distant because I wassingle. Now that I have remarried, however,that can’t be the reason. Am I offended too eas-ily? Why do I always have to be the one whomakes the effort to be nice to these rude peo-ple? What do you think? -- Midwest Mom
Dear Mom: We don’t know why these par-ticular parents bypass you, but the reason you“make nice” is for your children. If it is possi-ble to get these forms directly from the school,do so. Otherwise, tell each guilty party, aspolitely as you can, to please give all formsdirectly to you because you are the one whopays for the activities and your ex-husband is
unreliable about forwarding them. Make itclear that when they circumvent you, they arepunishing your children. We hope that willwake them up. Yes, it takes more effort on yourpart, but that’s the way it is.
Dear Annie: In a recent column, you had aletter from a woman who found fault withmen’s neckties. Has she taken a good look atsome of the women on TV whose dresses andjackets are a size smaller than they should be?Their outfits are so tight, the clothing wrinklesand it looks as if the buttons are ready to popoff. Also, some women wear their skirts soshort and snug that they can’t sit in a comfort-able position. Hey, girls, leave something tothe imagination. -- Tom in North Dakota
Dear Tom: We suspect this has less to dowith the individual women and more to do withratings, but we hope they are listening.

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.

Sell your house on the date of your choice for a fair
county expenditures beyondthe increase of county rev-enues.
“Annual increases in thecost of doing business and thecosts of financing debtsexceed the annual increases inprojected revenues,” Ball said.“The county cannot maintainpresent level of services overtime. Each year, the purchas-ing power of the budgetdecreases.”
Ball and his administrativestaff have calculated that,despite projected revenueincreases of $3.5 million, acombination of structuraldeficits, costly “must-do” pro-jects, and capital financingcosts are expected to create adeficit of some $7 million.
He told the board that,rather than using past tacticsof fending off economic reali-ty, it would be better to facethe problems head-on. Hisproposed budget, therefore,recommended cutting alldepartments by an average of6 percent.
In fact, Ball used executivediscretion to occasionally addfunding to some departments,and to cut others more than 6percent. According to Glassey,the proposed budget would
eliminate about 80 percent ofthe structural deficit.
The day’s discussion dealtonly with the so-called discre-tionary part of the county bud-get, $57.6 million of the coun-ty’s total budget of $192 mil-lion. According to Ball, thediscretionary budget is thatpart of the budget over whichthe Board of Supervisors hasany real control.
The remaining $135 mil-lion is grant-based andrequired by law, and the boardhas little or no discretion overhow those funds are spent.
The board accepted Ball’srecommendations with littlecomment in most cases. Onearea where the board didgrouse considerably was thebudget for the Board ofSupervisors itself.
Ball had split the board’ssingle 2005-2006 budget of$725,821 into two sections:$312,913 for the Clerk of theBoard’s office and $439,050for the Board of Supervisorsitself. This represented anincrease of some $25,000.Glassey said that additionalfunds for supervisors’ travelwas included in another sec-tion of the budget, underPromotional Travel.
Nevertheless, both coastalsupervisors, Kendall Smithand David Colfax, said theyneeded more money. Smithsaid that she needed more
money for travel expenses,and Colfax complained therewas no money in his budgetfor staff support. Currently thesupervisors are paid $48,000 ayear and earn some $29,000 ayear in benefits, for a totalpackage of $77,000.
“You’re not even closewhen it comes to compensat-ing this supervisor in terms ofin-county travel,” Smith said.“I’ve brought this up severaltimes. Not even close.”
One of the more controver-sial sections of Ball’s budgetwas a 19 percent reduction inthe Department ofTransportation budget. Thisproposed change broughtraised eyebrows from severalboard members. “I don’t seehow Transportation can takethat kind of hit,” said Smith.“We need to look carefully atthat one.” “It’s a 14 percenthit,” said 3rd DistrictSupervisor Hal Wagenet.
Ball’s draft budget wouldtrim the budget for the DistrictAttorney’s Office by 4 per-cent. Ball commented thatincumbent DA Norm Vromanhad asked for a 30 percentbudget increase for his depart-ment and that, when Ballasked him to accept a cut sim-ilar to other departments,
Vroman had once againclaimed that he had a constitu-tional mandate to set his ownbudget, had started yellingand had stormed out of hisoffice.
When Jim Wattenburger(2nd District) asked if the staffhad taken into account assetforfeiture money that wouldbe going to the DistrictAttorney’s Office, CountyBudget Officer Jennifer Wyattsaid she had not. “We knowapproximately what asset for-feiture would be, but we did-n’t put it into the budgetbecause he (Vroman) didn’tsubmit it to us,” Wyatt said.
Glassey said the CEO’sstaff would find a way toincorporate a figure for assetforfeiture into the DA’s budgetby the end of the year.
Ball said his staff would betrying to follow a four-foldpath toward creating a sustain-
able budget. The strategyincluded controlling servicecosts, increasing productivityof county employees, manag-ing future benefits andexpanding revenues.
However, Glasseyacknowledged that there wasno easy solution toward find-ing a sustainable system. Forexample, wages and benefitsfor county employees arealready fairly low, andemployee turnover is high.Already, employees hiredsince 1998 have no retirementhealth benefits. If the countywere to cut wages and benefitsfurther, it will show up inincreased turnover and adecline in productivity, shesaid.
Michael Delbar (1stDistrict) pointed out thatincreasing revenues was animportant part of the four-foldplan. “This economic devel-
opment aspect is a veryimportant part of this,” hesaid.
Wagenet said he remainedconcerned by a contradictionin the budget which Ball hadpointed out but had notresolved. “I’m still concernedwith the question of, you saywe have capped revenues andrising expenditures. I don’tsee how this budget resolvesthat. It seems to me whenyou’re in business, you can goone of three ways: You canincrease your profits, you canlose money, or you can find away to hold steady. You can’treally go for very long withoutdoing one of those threethings. So I don’t see whatyou are bringing to us that isgoing to help us bridge thatgap,” Wagenet said.
Ball agreed and said thatWagenet had raised an inter-esting point.

Countless hours are putinto the event encompassingmeetings, organizing, e-mail-ing, decorating, food prepara-tion and numerous calls seek-ing donations and help.
Event committee chair-woman Sheryl Graves, who isparticipating in her ninthSCRAM, acknowledges thecomplexity of her job, butsays it’s worth it.
“Knowing that the over-whelming majority of theseniors are here in a safe envi-ronment is my reward,” shesaid. “But,” she added, “forwhatever reason, this year ismoving much slower, whetherit’s the economy, or our lackof communication. We needhelp to ensure it’s a special,safe night for the kids.”
There is an “urgent need”for volunteers to staff theevent, Graves said. Parents ofall seniors are asked to help,as well as anyone who enjoysteenagers. “Going back 32years, to the best of myknowledge, we’ve never had ahorror story on SCRAMnight. Let’s keep it that way.They’re our kids, and we wantto keep them safe,” she said.
Many people have commit-ments during graduation,Graves said, but parents needonly work one shift to make adifference -- whether it’s atthe SCRAM casino or helpingwith security or decorating.“Everyone can find somethingthat fits their personality ortime frame,” she said, adding,“For that matter, bring the rel-atives; we’ll keep them busy.”
To help with fund-raising,preparations or to work at theevent, call Sheryl Graves at462-4023, or e-mail her [email protected].
