This was the first Mendocino Coast presentation since PG&E sur- prised locals by filing a study claim in February to 68 square miles off Fort Bragg with a preliminary permit application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. PG&E is seeking the exclusive right to study for a period of about three years an area 17 miles north to south by 4 miles wide, starting about one half mile off the Mendocino Coast and extending up to six miles offshore. PG&E’s Northern California man- ager of project development and energy procurement, Gregory Lamberg, explained to the council that a much smaller square of only 4 square miles would ultimately be used. “We have a large green and we are looking where to place the golf ball,” he said. That “golf ball” would still be nearly twice as big as the city of Fort Bragg itself, which is 2.7 square miles. PG&E’s “WaveConnect” plan would test multiple ocean powered technologies from up to four manu- facturers, all devices connected to one transmission cable. PG&E hopes that the discharge outlet from the city wastewater plant can be used for a cable to take the power to the PG&E power station on Grove Street, its application states. Most of the wave energy devices float and looked like buoys, on the slideshow presented by Lamberg. But the PG&E application shows many of the devices get their power not from waves but from the motion of the ocean at depths ranging from 60 to 600 feet. All will be moored to the bottom and float in clusters. Lamberg said PG&E has promised the California Coastal Commission not to proceed with devices that water flows through because of potential entrapment of marine life. Lamberg said there are a dozen designs. While smaller companies are able to consider just one experi- mental technology, PG&E has an emerging technology division that allows it to study and help develop a range of ideas.

FORT BRAGG - The waters offFort Bragg would play host to ashowdown between different waveenergy machines still in the imagina-tion stage, the Fort Bragg CityCouncil heard last week from aPacific Gas and Electric spokesman.

This was the first MendocinoCoast presentation since PG&E sur-prised locals by filing a study claimin February to 68 square miles offFort Bragg with a preliminary permit

application to the Federal EnergyRegulatory Commission.

PG&E is seeking the exclusiveright to study for a period of aboutthree years an area 17 miles north tosouth by 4 miles wide, starting aboutone half mile off the MendocinoCoast and extending up to six milesoffshore.

By ZACK SAMPSELThe Daily Journal

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon inApril, more than 175 people turned outto participate in the fifth-annualukiaHaiku Festival.

The ukiaHaiku Festival is a yearlyevent put on by the Ukiah Poet LaureateCommittee as a way of bringing atten-tion and praise to the form of poetrysimply known as haiku (also Ukiahspelled backwards).

Susan Sparrow said the event beganfive years ago when long-time friend andDori Anderson had mentioned her hopeto one day see a haiku festival take placein Ukiah. Sparrow, enthusiastic about theidea, worked to organize the first-annualfestival, which she described as “veryspur-of-the-moment.”

This year’s event, held at the UkiahConference Center on South SchoolStreet, was the most successful so farwith hundreds of poems from all overthe world sent in, including entries fromRomania and New Zealand.

“This event says an awful lot about

Ukiah,” said City Councilman BenjThomas, who helped to present the con-temporary haiku readings. “It’s reallynever too late for poetry.”

Thomas’ enthusiasm for the haiku fes-tival appeared to be contagious through-out the air as smiles filled the faces of

Iraqi leader warnsIran of terror threat

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iranagreed Sunday to join the U.S.and other countries at a confer-ence on Iraq this week, raisinghopes the government in Tehranwould help stabilize its violentneighbor and stem the flow ofguns and bombs over the border.

In an apparent effort to drivehome that point, Prime MinisterNouri al-Maliki told an Iranianenvoy that the persistent vio-lence in Iraq — some of it car-ried out by the Shiite militiasIran is accused of arming —could spill over into neighboringcountries, including those thatare “supposed to support theIraqi government.”

Iraq’s other neighbors as wellas Egypt, Bahrain and represen-tatives of the five permanentU.N. Security Council membershave agreed to attend the meet-ing Thursday and Friday in theEgyptian resort of Sharm El-Sheik.

The conference will alsoinclude Secretary of StateCondoleezza Rice, raising thepossibility of a rare directencounter between high-levelU.S. and Iranian officials.

In Washington, Rice wouldnot rule out a meeting with theIranians, whose delegation willbe led by Foreign MinisterManouchehr Mottaki.

U.S. Army chiefsays he wants soldierincrease earlier

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS,Hawaii (AP) — The Army’s newchief of staff says he wants toaccelerate by two years a plan toincrease the nation’s active-dutysoldiers by 65,000.

The Army has set 2012 as itstarget date for a force expansionto 547,000 troops, but Gen.George Casey said Saturday thathe has told his staff to have thesoldiers ready earlier.

“I said that’s too long. Goback and tell me what it wouldtake to get it done faster,” he saidin an interview with TheAssociated Press during a stop inHawaii.

Casey became the Army’schief of staff on April 12 afterserving as the top U.S. comman-der in Iraq for two-and-a-halfyears. He visited Hawaii for afew days in a Pacific region tourto talk with soldiers and their

families. He next heads to Japan,South Korea and Alaska.

Casey said his staff has sub-mitted a proposal for the acceler-ated timeline but that he has yetto approve the plan. He said theArmy was stretched and wouldremain that way until the addi-tional troops were trained andequipped.

Casey told a group of sol-diers’ spouses that one of histasks is to try to limit the impactof the strain on soldiers and theirfamilies.

President HugoChavez and Big Oilgear up for struggle

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP)— Forcing Big Oil to give upcontrol of Venezuela’s mostpromising oil fields this weekwill be relatively easy forPresident Hugo Chavez, but hewill face a more delicate chal-lenge in getting the world’s topoil companies to stay and keepinvesting. If Chavez can per-suade companies to stick arounddespite tougher terms, Venezuelawill be on track to develop theplanet’s largest known oildeposit.

ing words of encouragementand praise from Ukiah PoetLaureate and author, DavidSmith-Ferri. After Smith-Ferri completed his openingremarks, keynote speaker,and noted haiku author,Garry Gay helped to share alittle of his knowledge abouthaiku writing. After Gay’sspeech, the DevelopingVirtue Girl’s School ChineseOrchestra directed by AgisGan serenaded the audiencewith its beautiful creativeexpression in the form ofsong.

After the opening cere-monies had finished, themoment many people hadwaited for began: the presen-tation of haiku awards andreadings.

The respectful audiencelistened closely as all theauthors in attendance had achance to read aloud theircreations. The readings beganwith children as young askindergarten age readingaloud their haikus.

Some of the categories forwhich people wrote haikusincluded: contemporary, gen-eral and about Ukiah. Whilemany of the adult-aged writ-ers had been participantsbefore, the event didn’t dis-criminate and featured haikusby first-time writers likeDouthit.

“My husband inspired meto enter,” she said. “Beforehe made his entry to the con-test, he was walking aroundour house speaking in haiku.It sort of got stuck in myhead and quickly I had puttogether my first haiku. Idon’t normally write haikus.It’s a really nice sense ofcommunity here. Comingfrom the Bay Area, you don’toften see intimate events likethese, and that’s nice.”

Following the two-hourevent, poetry fans and familygathered for refreshments aswell as a chance to discusswriting. As well, people wereable to look over all the dif-ferent entries from each cate-gory because the Ukiah PoetLaureate Committee had allof them displayed on thewalls.

“I’m a poet myself,” saidWhitehill with a smile on herface. “And I always enjoysupporting public readingslike this. Truthfully, it feedsmy own work to hear otherpeople’s ideas and work.Really , it’s all very selfish.”

With success like theukiaHaiku Festival saw thisyear, it’s easy to see that thesky is the limit for this bur-geoning festival. Whitehillsaid she and other membersof the committee had dis-cussed a way of expandingon the recognition for win-ning entries including pavingstones featuring the winningentries. Thomas also said hewould be happy just to seethe winning entries mountedfor all of Ukiah to see.

“It would be great if weexpanded some of the cate-gories,” Whitehill said. “ButI’d be content just to see thisevent continue as it has.”

OAKLAND — A stretch ofhighway near the SanFrancisco-Oakland BayBridge collapsed Sunday aftera gasoline tanker crashed andburst into flames, a loss thatofficials said could leave free-ways leading to one of thenation’s busiest spans in nearparalysis at rush hour.Officials said traffic will bedisrupted for weeks, if notmonths.

Flames shot 200 feet in theair and the heat was intenseenough to melt part of thefreeway and cause the col-lapse, but the truck’s driverwalked away from the scenewith second-degree burns. Noother injuries were reported inthe 3:45 a.m. crash, whichofficials said could have beendeadly had it occurred at abusier time.

“I’ve never seen anythinglike it,” Officer Trent Cross ofthe California Highway Patrolsaid of the crumpled inter-change. “I’m looking at thisthinking, ’Wow, no one died’— that’s amazing. It’s justvery fortunate.”

Authorities said the dam-

age could take months torepair, and that it would causethe worst disruption for BayArea commuters since the1989 Loma Prieta earthquakedamaged a section of the BayBridge itself.

Nearly 75,000 vehicles usethe portion of the road everyday. But because the accidentoccured where three highwaysconverge, authorities said itcould cause commuting prob-lems for hundreds of thou-sands of people. State trans-portation officials said280,000 commuters take thebridge into San Franciscoeach day.

On Sunday the collapsedoubled the half-hour trip dri-vers normally face getting toand from San Francisco andthe eastern suburbs — eventhough many didn’t evenattempt the trip because of thecrash. Traffic appeared lighton the bridge itself, butmotorists looking to get onand off were backed up onboth sides.

Transportation officialssaid they already had addedtrains to the Bay Area RapidTransit rail system that takescommuters across San

Francisco Bay, and were urg-ing people to telecommute ifpossible.

State officials saidmotorists who try to takealternate routes Mondayinstead of relying on publictransportation would facenightmarish commutes.

The tanker carrying 8,600gallons of gasoline ignitedafter crashing into a pylon onthe interchange, which con-nects westbound lanes ofInterstate 80 to southbound I-880, on the edge of downtownOakland about half a milefrom the Bay Bridge’s tollplaza.

The driver, JamesMosqueda, 51, of Woodland,was headed from a refinery inBenecia to a gas station nearthe Oakland Airport when theaccident occurred, accordingto the California HighwayPatrol.

A preliminary investigationindicated he may have beenspeeding on the curving road,Cross said. Mosqueda wasbeing treated in a hospital forburns Sunday; the hospitalwould not transfer media callsto his room.

Witnesses reported flamesrising up to 200 feet into theair. Heat exceeded 2,750degrees and caused the steelbeams holding up the inter-change from eastbound I-80 toeastbound Interstate 580above to buckle and boltsholding the structure togetherto melt, leading to the col-lapse, California Departmentof Transportation director WillKempton said.

The charred section of col-lapsed freeway was draped ata sharp angle onto the high-way beneath, exposing a webof twisted metal beneath theconcrete. Officials said thataltogether a 250-yard portionof the upper roadway wasdamaged.

The cost of the repairs

would likely run into the tensof millions of dollars, and thestate was seeking federal dis-aster aid, Kempton said. Gov.Arnold Schwarzeneggerplanned to issue an emergencydeclaration to allow repairs tohappen faster, said AdamMendelsohn, the governor’sspokesman.

The Bay Bridge consists oftwo heavily traveled, double-decked bridges about twomiles long straddling SanFrancisco Bay.

San Francisco MayorGavin Newsom said the acci-dent showed how fragile theBay area’s transportation net-work is, whether to an earth-quake or terrorist attack, andhas the potential to have amajor economic effect on thecity.

“It’s another giant wakeupcall,” Newsom told reportersat the California DemocraticParty convention in SanDiego.

The Mendocino CollegeParamedic Program had anambulance donated to themby ProTransport-1 out ofCotati on Monday, April 16.

Two employees ofProTransport-1, who arecurrently enrolled in theMendocino CollegeParamedic Program,informed MendocinoCollege Paramedic ProgramDirector Bill Webster thattheir employer often makesdonations of surplus equip-ment to training agencies.

Webster then contactedProtransport-1 and withinthree months, the paramedicprogram received an ambu-lance.

The ambulance was firstused on Friday, April 20and will be used for trainingpurposes only. There will beno real-life application forcampus emergencies.

There are 25 studentscurrently enrolled in theparamedic program. In theprogram, they learn manip-ulative skills such as obtain-ing intravenous access andairway management andpractice these in the class-room on mannequins andeach other.

“With the ambulance onsite, we can have the stu-

dents practice assessmentand treatment skills in theback of a moving ambu-lance.

“Skills that are relativelyeasy in the controlledatmosphere of the class-room can be much morechallenging in the back of amoving ambulance. Thestudents will start their fieldwork with a much clearer

idea of what to expect andan increased level of experi-ence and expertise,”Webster said.

The ambulance will alsobe used in Pre HospitalTrauma Life Support classas well as other classes atMendocino College.

Hospital beds have previ-ously been donated to theprogram from Ukiah Valley

Medical Center, andWebster plans to seek otherdonations.

“I would like to equip theambulance with tools suchas heart monitors. We arealways grateful for equip-ment donations, sinceequipment for the ambu-lance can range from$10,000 to $15,000,”Webster said.

Due to the donation of an ambulance by ProTransport-1 out of Cotati, the 25students enrolled in Mendocino College’s paramedic program will now starttheir careers with more experience in the field and more practical knowledge.

The Daily JournalOut of two Mendocino College stu-

dent nominees for the Phi Theta KappaAll-USA Academic Team, both havebeen chosen for the All-CaliforniaAcademic Team.

The PTK International HonorSociety and USA Today sponsor theaward.

Laura Bartlett from Redwood Valleyand a 2004 Ukiah High School graduatewas selected third team, while StephenFrochen, also from Ukiah, was secondteam.

Bartlett and Phi Theta Kappa AdvisorJason Edington, along with MendocinoCollege Dean of Student Services,Donald Moore, attended a rewards lun-cheon on March 29 at the SacramentoConvention Center in Sacramento, CA.

The All-USA Academic Team is aprestigious award whereby 60 studentsfrom around the country are selected toone of three teams. Every communitycollege across the United States maynominate two students.

In order to be nominated, a studentmust meet certain requirements such asunits completed and a high GPA. Extra-curricular and community activities arealso considered.

Mendocino College instructor JasonEdington sent out the nominee criteriato every Mendocino College professorasking for their recommendations. Asthe advisor for Phi Theta Kappa at thecollege and as a former All-USA nomi-nee and All-California team member, heis familiar with the process.

“The same names seemed to keepcoming back to me from our professorsand their recommendations. Laura andStephen represent the best ofMendocino College students from GPAto community service,” Edington said.

Bartlett, an honors student with a3.93 GPA, is currently majoring inSpanish and plans to pursue a bache-lor’s degree in Biology. Bartlett hopesto fulfill her desire of attending medicalschool.

The Ukiah Daily Journal

VIEWPOINTS

Instead of vetoing stem-cell legislation again, Presi-dent Bush should revise his 2001 limits on the research-- and demonstrate that he's open to new scientific evi-dence.

Bush devised an ingenious compromise in August2001, allowing federal funding on stem cells extractedfrom human embryos prior to then -- but not after.Bowing to scientific evidence, he could update thatdecision to the present, vastly expanding the research.

One of the chronic tendencies on both sides of thepolarized, partisan divide in the nation's capital is toput politics and ideology ahead of evidence. It con-stantly gets in the way of problem-solving and goodpolicy.

Cases in point on the Republican side -- besidesBush's stem-cell restrictions -- include resistance to theoverwhelming scientific consensus on global warming,exclusion of women's health concerns in the abortionfight and the administration's failure to heed dissentingopinions on Iraq policy.

On the Democratic side, Congressional leaders werenot even willing to hear from Iraq troop commanderGen. David Petraeus about possible progress with hisnew counter-insurgency strategy before pushing aheadwith legislation imposing a troop-withdrawal deadline.

To his credit, Bush has changed his view over timeon the seriousness of the global warming danger andman's contribution to it, although it's taken a SupremeCourt decision to force his Environmental ProtectionAgency to begin considering how to regulate carbondioxide emissions.

At the same time, the Supreme Court -with Bush'stwo conservative appointees helping form a newmajority -- has just decided to impose its judgmentover that of medical experts on what late-term abortionprocedures will protect a woman's health.

On stem cells, after intense debate between "pro-life" and "pro-research" advocates, Bush signed anexecutive order on Aug. 9, 2001, allowing federalfunding of research using stem-cell lines extractedfrom human embryos prior to that date but barring itfor lines derived after that date.

It seemed a Solomonic decision -- opening up fund-ing for research into potentially dramatic disease treat-ments while at the same time avoiding encouragementfor further destruction of embryos.

At the time, Bush asserted -- on the basis of findingsfrom the National Institutes of Health -- that 68 suchlines would be available for federally funded research.Other scientists immediately challenged that figure,and they have been proved right. Only 21 lines existworld-wide, and all of them are contaminated by themouse tissue in which they are stored.

Last year, Bush exercised his first veto -and his onlyone, until the veto coming shortly over Iraq deadlines -- to strike down Congress' attempt to undo his limitsand permit funding for research on stem cells derivedfrom embryos "left over" and destined for destructionat in vitro fertilization clinics.

This year, both the House and Senate have passednew stem-cell bills by overwhelming -- but not veto-proof -- margins and Bush is promising another veto.

But he could do something different: issue a newexecutive order this month or next allowing funding ofresearch on cells derived between 2001 and the effec-tive date of the order, expanding the available linesfrom 21 to 400.

The logic of his 2001 decision would remain: Hewould not be funding the destruction of any newembryos, simply widening research on cells alreadyextracted.

Bush's existing policy has heavily skewed federalfunding toward non-embryonic stem-cell research --especially "adult" stem cells derived from blood,umbilical cords and bone marrow -- which does showpromise in treating some diseases.

However, the overwhelming consensus of medicalscientists and disease groups is that embryonic stemcells -- the inner core of days-old embryos -- offermore potential for disease cures than adult cellsbecause they theoretically can replace any tissue in thebody.

Bush's own NIH director, Elias Zerhouni, told theSenate in March that "the presentations about adultstem cells having as much or more potential thanembryonic stem cells, in my view, do not hold scientif-ic water ... I think they are overrated."

He said that "it is clear today that American sciencewould be better served, and the nation would be betterserved, if we let our scientists have more access tomore [embryonic] cell lines." This is a case where,applying the same ingenuity he exhibited in 2001,Bush can expand scientific discovery without aban-doning his principles.

Suggestions for plannersTo the Editor:Having read the articles on the redesign

of Perkins Street I have two comments. 1. I saw that the design is to create

more downtown shopping and such alongPerkins Street which sounds great to me.But I did also notice that the buildings aresupposed to be not set back from the streetand this I don’t like. Why? Because as apedestrian I want to be further away fromthe flow of traffic noise, fumes and thephysical danger of cars. A nice 6-8 footwide planted strip would help that a lot.

2. I would like there to be another turnat the Perkins to Orchard Street intersec-tion.

While I am commenting I also want tocall for a safe bicycle lane along the sec-tion of North State Street from the Forksinto Ukiah. When I first moved here Ithought my children would be able to ridebikes into school but I never felt it wassafe enough for them to let them do it. Ofcourse most of the way there are nicewide bike lanes - except for two sections.These are the bridges that carry StateStreet over a stream and over the timberroad. There State Street is bottle neckedand bikes are right next to the traffic. Imean two feet of space - and that is notenough. Isn’t there some way to makethose two bridges safer for our children aswell as the adults riding bikes or walking?Maybe a side bridge for pedestrians. If itwere safer maybe more of us would getout of our cars leading to less pollution,less petrol based fuels used and leading tohealthier bodies. Those seem like goodgoals to me.

A solution for violence?To the Editor:In keeping with the mantra of the

N.R.A. re: having an armed citizenry,there’s only one proper and efficient wayto carry it out. The students of every highschool graduating class in the nationshould be issued a weapon of their choiceupon graduation, and that, of courseincludes the feminine members of theclass.

And so, with all of the citizens of thiscountry eventually armed, we shall be ableto protect ourselves from any oddballswho decide to cause havoc in any venue.

Ergo, we would also discourage anypotential invaders and no one would everbe shot to death anymore in our schools,our streets, in our cars or wherever ...right?

Other opinionsFrom around the nation

When it came to sportsvenues, track record, cer-tainty for economic successand quality of its presenta-tion, Los Angeles was thebetter choice as the U.S.nominee to bid for the 2016Summer Olympics.

But the U.S. OlympicCommittee picked Chicagoover L.A. for good reason.

Chicago has a long tradi-tion of strong leadership ...that pulls together for thegreater good, and a citizenrythat believes in the city.

L.A. has a great climate,but as a city, it's run today asit's always been run: for thebetterment of narrow classesof people who see the publicas a minor obstacle in theway of serving themselves.

The result is L.A. remainsjust an idea, the belief inunlimited freedom and end-less possibility. It's a place,not a city.

Cities - real cities such asChicago, Boston, New York,Paris, London - have a senseof community, of together-ness, that L.A. has neverachieved. Real cities areinclusive; the quality of lifein the neighborhoods is asimportant as the enhance-ment of public monuments,museums and gatheringplaces. ...

When it came to theOlympics, L.A. let out a col-lective yawn while Chicagoshowed widespread enthusi-asm with plans to build aspectacular Olympic villageon the lake. ...

It doesn't have to be thisway. With its climate, withits aura of freedom, with itscapacity for reinvention,L.A. has the chance to be atruly great city. Seeds ofdemocracy have been plant-ed in neighborhood councils.The mayor has the vision tosee a Los Angeles greaterthan what now exists. Andthousands of ordinary peo-ple have worked long andhard to make things better.

But it will take thousandsof others to wake up andthrow off the chains of theirapathy, as well as a suddenmoment of enlightenmentamong the ruling elite.

L.A. can learn a lot fromChicago. Whether it will is aquestion of whether there'sthe will to put greed andselfishness aside and strivefor something greater.

The RiversidePress-EnterpriseCorrective care

California's nursing-homeoversight is flawed andunacceptable. Improving theDepartment of HealthServices' performancerequires adding moreinspectors, but also changingpractices that leave largeholes in the patient safetynet. The California stateauditor last week released areport detailing the short-comings in state oversight ofnursing homes. TheDepartment of HealthServices failed to respond on

time to complaints, didn'tkeep accurate records andperformed predictableinspections, the auditor said.Weak oversight of the morethan 1,200 nursing homes inCalifornia leaves patients atrisk and can result intragedy.

The department blames ashortage of nursing-homeinspectors for many of theflaws, but the state could domore to ease staffing woes.California uses registerednurses for inspectors, andthe shortage of RNs leavesmany positions vacant, evenafter the current state budgetfunded ... additional inspec-tors. Both the auditor and thestate's legislative analystsuggest making greater useof licensed vocational nursesand other qualified people toaugment the trickle of avail-able RNs.

Other improvementsrequire better management.There is no excuse for poorrecord-keeping: The depart-ment's data system con-tained errors that only com-pounded the challenges ofprobing complaints. Andeffective nursing homeinspections need to be ran-dom. The state's predictableinspections give facilitiestime to prepare and under-mine the visits' usefulness.

Nursing home patients aresome of society's most vul-nerable people. Protectingthem requires competentstate oversight, not merelybureaucratic good inten-tions.

care and saying, ‘We’ve got todo something,’” saidDemocratic strategist DarrySragow, an adviser to theCalifornia AARP, one of thegroups pressing for reform.“These are people who nor-mally don’t hang out togeth-er.”

At this point the groups arenot uniting behind any oneplan, but instead endorsing aset of broad reform principles.And their camaraderie couldcollapse under the stress offashioning an actual compro-mise. Health care reform haseluded policy makers fordecades for good reason: Itaffects practically everyone,and any change that pleasesone constituency is bound tooffend another - and hit themin the pocketbook.

For example, a central tenetof Schwarzenegger’s healthproposal - and one embracedby the reform backers - is thatthe cost of universal coverageshould be shared by employ-ers, workers, health providersand government. But the realquestion is how to spread theload ($12 billion, under thegovernor’s plan).

Unions fret that workerswill be forced to buy coveragethey can’t afford. Healthinsurers worry that they’ll beforced to cover everyone,without any assurance thatpeople won’t simply wait untilthey’re sick to buy insurance.The California MedicalAssociation, which is also partof the reform coalition, says a2 percent fee on doctors’ rev-enue recommended bySchwarzenegger would be

unfair to many doctors. Thoseare just a few of the possiblequarrels.

Meanwhile, potentialadversaries - which includewell-heeled interests such asthe California RestaurantAssociation, Blue Cross andthe state Chamber ofCommerce - could spend mil-lions to derail reform. Thosegroups have been relativelyquiet so far, but that couldchange if lawmakers close inon a compromise.

Still, veterans of past healthreform efforts say the atmos-phere feels different this year.Having a popular Republicangovernor at the helm providesa huge boost.

“The biggest difference thisyear from the past,” SenatePresident pro Tem Don Perata,D-Oakland, said in an inter-view, “is that the governor hasdeclared this his No.1 issue.”

Perhaps equally important,Perata and others say, is thatthe issue seems to havereached a tipping point in thepublic conscience. An esti-mated 6.5 million people arewithout insurance for all orpart of the year, but that’s justpart of the problem. Spiralinghealth care costs are pinchingbusiness profits more andmore each year, and chippingaway at workers’ paychecks.

Health care premiums thisdecade have grown at morethan double the inflation rate;last year they rose 8.7 percentin the state, to $988 per monthfor a worker enrolled for fam-ily coverage, according to theCalifornia HealthcareFoundation. The employee’sshare of that total: $235 permonth - and growing.

Those costs are creating asense of urgency, and bringingunexpected players to thehealth reform table. Steven

Burd, the chief executive ofthe Safeway supermarketchain and an outspoken pro-ponent of national health carereform, is expected toannounce in the next fewweeks that a coalition of largebusinesses will push forchange in California as well.

On a separate but paralleltrack, the Silicon ValleyLeadership Group, whosemembers include dozens ofhigh-tech companies, hasembraced the governor’shealth care push, withoutendorsing his specific propos-al. Among those joining thebusiness group are the AARP,labor unions representingteachers and service workers,and three of the state’s tophealth insurance companies -Kaiser Permanente, BlueShield and Health Net. “Webelieve we are responsiblecorporate citizens and shouldbe actively engaged,” saidDavid Olson, senior vice pres-ident of corporate communi-cations at Health Net.

One sign that the coalitionappears serious: It has hired aprominent political consul-tant, David Doak, to craft anadvertising campaign.

If reform advocates “cangather the resources and sticktogether,” said Sragow, thepolitical adviser, it could givelegislative leaders “politicalcover” to broker a compro-mise on health care legisla-tion.

Skeptics warn that even if adeal can be reached, oppo-nents could challenge it incourt or launch a ballot initia-tive to overturn it. In 2004,after the DemocraticLegislature passed a mandateon medium-sized and largebusinesses to provide healthcare, voters narrowly over-

turned it.But the political landscape

has changed since then, andreform advocates vow theywouldn’t let that happenagain. “Because we came soclose last time, everyoneknows we could go back tothe ballot and win,” saidhealth care lobbyist BethCapell.

Since Schwarzeneggerannounced his plan for univer-sal health care in earlyJanuary, he’s been spendingmuch of his time trying tomobilize support. The gover-nor has made dozens ofspeeches around the state,bemoaning what he calls thestate’s “broken” health caresystem, and held private meet-ings with interest groups,including some that are unen-thusiastic about his proposal.

This week saw the firstflurry of activity on the leg-islative front, as Democratichealth reform plans - whichmirror the governor’s propos-al in some respects and departfrom it in others - clearedhealth committees in theAssembly and Senate. Thevotes were not considered sig-nificant, though, because keydetails of the plans, includinghow much employers wouldhave to pay if they don’t pro-vide coverage to workers,haven’t been spelled out.

All the while,Schwarzenegger, who hasdubbed 2007 the “year ofhealth care,” continues toraise expectations.

“California will be the firststate, I guarantee you,” thegovernor said in a speechTuesday to the CaliforniaMedical Association, “wherewe will have universal healthcare, where we will insureeverybody.”

“We are going to fall downa few times before we walkwith this,” he said.

One that has been touted bythe Electric Power ResearchInstitute is the Pelamis design,which resembles a chain offloating redwood tree sizedlogs. Locals have wonderedwhy EPRI is so intent on thisdesign.

Lamberg said “bathomet-ric” factors along the northerncoast of California make itone of the best places in theUnited States for generationof wave power. Exposure tonorthwest swells make localwave energy greater than inSouthern California. Analysisof 25 years of data from off-shore buoys show averagewave heights from 6.5 to 10feet. Even more important isthe fact that deep waterbecomes shallow in a muchshorter span locally, the steepincline helping create theneeded wave action.

He said studies by theresearch institute, which isunder contract with PG&E toget the utility giant throughthe permitting process for pro-

jects in Eureka and FortBragg, show that as much as5,000 megawatts of wavepower could be generated offthe California coast.

Last year power use inCalifornia peaked at 68,000megawatts, he said. As excit-ing as the potential is for wavepower, it might be an exagger-ation even to say it is in itsinfancy.

“Right now worldwidethere is 4 megawatts of poweroperating (from wave energy),so this is a very new technolo-gy,” Lamberg warned. Thatpresent output of the entireworld would only be abouthalf of what Fort Bragg usesin a year.

Because the technology isso new, the Federal EnergyRegulatory Commission andPG&E have no model on howlong such projects take orwhat studies are required.

“It is being based on thehydroelectric model, so themodel we are going through isthe same as if we were build-ing a dam on a river,”Lamberg said.

He said it would likely befive years before PG&E haddevices in the water but thatall timeframes are estimates atthis point. The utility mustpledge to spend money andcomplete the study to get the

permit, so the investment issubstantial.

Wave power gaining

Just a year ago, when theFort Bragg City Council lis-tened to a presentation on alocal power plant, wavepower was still at the ideastage in the United States.

But now, federal files arefull of applications. Portugal,Spain, the UK, Ireland, SouthAfrica and Australia are allplanning new wave-energyplants.

“It isn’t the Klondike quiteyet, nor is it the shale oil mad-ness of Alberta, but people aretalking that way. In Oregonreal money is coming to thetable,” said local energyactivist George Reinhardt inan interview.

Reinhardt told the councilthe Fort Bragg plant would besimilar to the Wave Hub offthe United Kingdom, one ofthe best known wave energyefforts in the world, which isin the development stage(www.wavehub.co.uk). Thatproject also features compet-ing technologies and inven-tors.

Simultaneous with the FortBragg effort, PG&E also filedfor a study area off Eurekawhich is about twice as big as

the local study area (136square miles). That effort alsopromises a technology compe-tition. No other such experi-ment is currently contemplat-ed in the United States,according to Lamberg andother sources.

“I’m pleased with thevision PG&E is bringing tothis,” said Reinhardt. “ThisWaveConnect idea is a strongone. Certainly we don’t wantto commit to a single nascenttechnology. Perhaps we couldbenefit financially from beingpart of this whole process offiguring out which of thesetechnologies are viable.”

After the Fort Bragg CityCouncil heard the initial pre-sentation in August, theybacked the idea of wave ener-gy in an October resolutionthat does not name PG&E.Next, a January meeting washeld in Noyo Harbor wherewhat City Manager LindaRuffing described as a diversegroup of stakeholders, such asfishermen and seaweed har-vesters, presented their con-cerns.

Next came the surprisenews that PG&E had filed itspreliminary permit applicationwith FERC.

“Lo and behold, the citywas informed in late Februarythat PG&E had filed for a pre-

liminary permit,” Ruffing toldthe council.

Ruffing said in an interviewprior to the meeting thatMendocino County mighthave acted had PG&E notmoved so quickly.

At last Monday’s meeting,Lamberg promised theprocess would be open andwould involve extensive com-munity meetings and consen-sus building. He promisedexhaustive environmentalstudies would “leave no stoneunturned.”

“If we put machines out inthe ocean, there are going tobe a lot of people with con-cerns, and we want to listen tothose concerns before select-ing the best piece of ‘realestate’ possible,” Lambergsaid.

He also promised thedevices would not be put intothe water “unless we can getthe fishermen happy.”

tody battle, as the MateelCommunity Center scrapswith People Productions andlandowner Tom Dimmick forcontrol of the event.

Dimmick had declared hislease agreement with theMateel for the festival voidafter the center split withlongtime Reggae on the Riverproducer People Productionslast December in a financialdispute.

The rancher and PeopleProductions then announcedthey would stage a rival festi-val, Reggae Rising, on thesame site and the same days -- Aug. 3 to 5 -- as Reggae onthe River.

Meanwhile, the Mateel,which controls the rights tothe 24-year-old Reggae on theRiver name, has signed upBay Area producer BootsHughston.

The Mateel sought a pre-liminary injunction to stop theReggae Rising festival fromadvancing. It was denied lastweek by Superior CourtJudge W. Bruce Watson.

At the previous commis-sion meeting, the two sidesindicated that a settlementwas near. That appears to nolonger be the case.

The county issues the per-mit that allows the festival togo forward, and some believethat the battle for the permitwill ultimately decide whogets to put on the concert. Thepermit runs with the land, butis in the Mateel’s name.

The county has said it willnot wade into the issue of whocontrols the permit. That issomething it seems the courtswill have to decide.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)— An increase in strandedseals and sea lions has keptvolunteer rescuers at theMarin Mammal Center busyduring the past year, but onSaturday they were rewardedfor their labor.

A record 30 northern furseals have been rescued thisseason, 22 of which have sur-vived. The eight healthy sealson the boat Saturday servedas a contrast to the emaciatedpups that appeared at beachesin need of nursing.

Rescue volunteers bravedchoppy seas to accompanythe animals to an area near theFarallon Islands, where theseals were released.

Zombie, so named becauseof his Halloween rescue lastyear, hopped from his cageinto the frigid waters. Theother fur seals followed, frol-icking in the water before dis-appearing below.

Watching the seals beingreleased was a mixed blessingfor rescuers. In 2002 a reha-bilitated California sea lionnamed Swissy was consumedimmediately after its releaseby a great white shark. Thecenter has since moved itsreleases to a more shelteredcove.

The reason behind theincrease in stranded animalsthis year has been explored,including higher levels thisyear of domoic acid — a nat-urally occurring toxin — butno concrete answers havebeen found, according toDoreen Gurrola, the center’sassistant director of educa-tion.

Despite the perils of beingback in the wild, the rescuersunderstand they are doing theright thing.

“They’re back out in thewild. They’re back servingtheir purpose, doing whatthey do,” said volunteerKaren Loida.

ALAMEDA — TheOakland Raiders cut ties withRandy Moss after two unpro-ductive seasons, sending theformer Pro Bowl receiver tothe New England Patriots onSunday for a fourth-rounddraft pick.

Moss was disgruntled formost of his two seasons inOakland, and said frequentlylast season he thought he’d bebetter off with another team.The 30-year-old wanted to bedealt either to New England orGreen Bay and got his wish.

Moss said he was thrilled tobe with the Patriots, who wonthree of the last six SuperBowls, and re-negotiated acontract that had two yearsleft.

“I’m still overwhelmedand, at the same time, kind ofstar-struck that I’m part of thisNew England Patriots organi-zation,” he said during a con-ference call Sunday.

Raiders coach Lane Kiffinwanted to deal Moss beforenext weekend’s mandatoryminicamp. Moss had not par-ticipated in any of the team’soffseason workouts and theRaiders were unsure if he’dattend the minicamp.

“We felt this was the bestscenario for both the Raidersand Randy,” Kiffin said. “Wewish him nothing but thebest.”

With the Patriots, Mosswill be teamed with three-timeSuper Bowl-winning quarter-back Tom Brady, who now

SANTA CLARA —The San Francisco49ers acquired veteranreceiver DarrellJackson from theSeattle Seahawks onSunday, landing apotential No. 1 passcatcher from a divisionrival for a fourth-rounddraft choice.

Jackson, a seven-year pro who spent hisentire career with theSeahawks, graduallyfell out of favor withSeattle general manag-er Tim Ruskell in

recent months amidinjuries and attitudeconcerns.

But with few tempt-ing offers for Jackson,the Seahawks improba-bly helped the 49ers —who beat NFC Westchampion Seattle twicelast season — at SanFrancisco’s leanestposition.

“You know thatmakes it that muchsweeter that I can goback and face my oldteam,” Jackson said.“I’ve been looking for-ward to becoming a49er ever since I heard

the talk about thetrade.”

San Francisco gaveup the 124th overallpick, and the Seahawksused it on Georgia Techoffensive linemanMansfield Wrotto.

Jackson’s tenure inSeattle included three1,000-yard seasons and47 touchdowns, butalso several skirmisheswith team brass abouthis contract, which runsthrough 2009. Jacksonfelt he had a handshakedeal with former teampresident Bob Whitsittto improve his contract

— but when Whitsittwas fired and Ruskellwas hired in early 2005,no changes were made.

Jackson had a trucu-lent attitude toward off-season workouts, andhe also missed 13games over the last twoseasons with injuries.

“Ever since I havebeen here, we all knowhe has not been happy,”Ruskell said. “We wantyou to want to be here.We want you to behappy to be a Seahawkand work well withyour teammates. That’swhat we want, and we

just never reallyseemed to get to thatpoint.

“Yeah, he is a goodplayer, we all knowthat, and it wasn’t aboutthe catches and theyards, but it just neverfelt comfortable as afit.”

Ruskell said the49ers’ interest inJackson didn’t intensifyuntil just before thedraft. Jackson passed aphysical in Santa Claraand visited with 49erscoach Mike Nolan on

Chase Gordon scoops up the ball after a short throw to first base earlier this season. Although the’Cats lost two games this week, the team still feels confident about its progress.

By RAY HALLFor The Daily Journal

Last week could be considered adisappointment if one looksonly at the won-loss column but

the performances of three players inparticular, Brett Furman, James Makiand Garrett Edwards on the JV base-ball team provides optimism forfuture Wildcat success this season.

On Wednesday, the 'Cats lost toleague leading Rancho Cotate. Thevisiting Rancho team scored threequick runs but it could have beenmuch worse if not for a spectaculardiving catch by centerfielder BrettFurman to end the inning. Ukiah wasable to close the gap to 3-2 beforeRancho put together hit after hit towin going away, 15-3.

On Friday the Wildcats traveled to

Piner High School and the host teamwas able to avenge a prior loss to the'Cats. An early lead and late gamehits allowed the Piner Prospectors tocome out victorious in this game by ascore of 10-8.

Ukiah staked the Prospectors to anearly 3-0 lead before Garrett Edwardscrushed a line drive double off the leftfield fence that scored teamate AustinRyan from second base. Proving thatpitchers can hit, James Maki followedwith a hit to get the 'Cats within a runat 3-2.

In the next inning another RBI sin-gle by Maki kept the 'Cats close totheir foes from Santa Rosa. Down bya score of 4-3 in the sixth inning thePiner pitcher came down with a tem-porary bout of wildness and loaded

the bases for Troy Furman whopromptly lashed a basehit to left fieldto score three runs and give Ukiah it's'first lead of the day at 6-4.

Unfortunately the late game hero-ics weren't reserved strictly for theUkiah nine as Piner mounted a come-back of their own in the bottom of theinning and ended up winning by afinal score of 10-8.

Wildcat coach Kris Swett summedup the days performance, recognizingthe amazing composure on the moundand the hitting of James Maki, the 3for 3 batting of Garrett Edwards andthe three RBI's from Brett Furman.

The Wildcats are back in action onWednesday against Maria Carillobefore hosting Elsie Allen on Fridayat Anton Stadium.

OAKLAND — ManagerJoe Maddon can’t say enoughabout Rocco Baldelli’s impactat the top of the Tampa Baybatting order.

Baldelli returned aftermissing two games with abruised right knee and quicklygot back to work, combiningwith Elijah Dukes for back-to-back home runs in TampaBay’s 5-3 victory over theOakland Athletics on Sunday.

B.J. Upton hit a go-aheadthree-run homer in the fourth,connecting for the secondstraight game, then Baldelliand Dukes homered the nextinning for the first time thisseason the Devil Rays hitback-to-back homers.

Eric Chavez is finding hispower stroke for the A’s, whowill be happy to put anotherslow April in the past. Theteam is off Monday beforestarting May with a two-gameseries at Boston beginningTuesday.

Mark Ellis and Chavezconnected back-to-back in thefirst for their second homeruns in as many games, butOakland managed little elseonly a day after scoring theirsecond-most runs of the yearin a 12-5 victory.

The A’s have dropped con-secutive series for the firsttime this year, finishing Aprila game under .500 at 12-13.

Kazmir allowed six hitsand two runs in seven innings,struck out one and walked

two. Shawn Camp and BrianStokes pitched the eighth andAl Reyes finished for his ninthsave in as many chances andsecond of the series.

Dallas Braden (1-1), pro-moted from the minors lastweek when ace right-handerRich Harden went on the dis-abled list, was sent down afterSunday’s game. He struck outthe side in the first around apair of walks and worked a 1-2-3 second. He allowed aninfield single to Josh Paulleading off the third for thefirst Tampa Bay hit but got outof the inning facing the mini-mum after Dukes was caughtstealing for the third out.

Braden ran into trouble inthe fourth, walking Carl

Crawford to start the inningthen giving up Ty Wigginton’ssingle. One out later, Uptonhit his fifth homer of the sea-son. Crawford drew threewalks, including an intention-al free pass in the seventh.

Braden didn’t last longSunday, when several hundredfriends and family fromStockton, Calif., were expect-ed to be in the stands cheeringon the pitcher in his first bigleague home performance.Braden allowed five runs andsix hits, struck out five andwalked three in 4 1-3 innings.

Ellis’ homer was his 39thas a second baseman, tyinghim with Dick Green for mostin Oakland history.

has plenty of talentedreceivers to throw to onoffense. New England hasalready added three otherwide receivers this offseason:Wes Welker in a trade withMiami, and Donte’ Stallworthand Kelley Washington as freeagents.

New England beganrebuilding its receiver corpslast year after losing its toptwo receivers from 2005.Leading receiver DeionBranch, after a contract dis-pute, was traded to Seattle theday after the season opener, inwhich he didn’t play. Earlier,David Givens signed as a freeagent with Tennessee.

The Patriots ended last sea-son with Reche Caldwell,Jabar Gaffney and TroyBrown as their top threereceivers. Brown is a freeagent, while Caldwell andGaffney are signed throughthe 2007 season.

Oakland gave up the sev-enth overall pick in 2005,linebacker Napoleon Harrisand a seventh-round pick toMinnesota for Moss in 2005.Moss, who made five ProBowls in seven seasons withMinnesota, had 102 catchesfor 1,558 yards and 11 touch-downs with the Raiders. Hehad career lows last season

with 42 catches for 553 yardsand three touchdowns andexpressed a desire to be trad-ed.

“I know there are somethings that I’ve done in thepast,” Moss said, “but I thinkthat’s all behind me. I’m real-ly not living in the past.”

While in Minnesota, wherehe spent his first seven sea-sons, Moss was fined $10,000for pretending to pull downhis pants and moon the GreenBay crowd during a Vikingsplayoff win, and also drewcriticism for leaving the fieldwith 2 seconds left in a regu-lar-season loss to Washington.

He also bumped a trafficcontrol officer with his car in2002, verbally abused corpo-rate sponsors on a team bus in2001 and squirted an officialwith a water bottle in 1999.

He stressed Sunday that hisfrustrations with not winningaffected him. His additionshould improve the Patriotschampionship prospects.

“You’re going to really see

some things that you’ve neverseen before,” Moss said, “andwhen it does happen, don’tsay I didn’t tell you.”

The deal leaves the Raiderswith Jerry Porter, RonaldCurry, Doug Gabriel andnewly acquired MikeWilliams as their topreceivers. Oakland traded afourth-round pick Saturdayfor Williams and quarterbackJosh McCown of Detroit.

Williams, who played forKiffin in college at USC,struggled in two NFL seasonssince being drafted by Detroitwith the 10th pick in 2005. Hestarted only six games inDetroit, making 37 catches for449 yards and two touch-downs.

The Raiders selected cor-nerback John Bowie fromCincinnati with the pick theygot from New England.

After Jeff Kent doubled in JuanPierre to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead with oneout in the third, Maddux kept the Dodgers offthe base paths through the seventh inning.Brett Tomko (0-2) allowed three runs and sixhits in 6 1-3 innings, struck out one andwalked none.Diamondbacks 5, Giants 4PHOENIX (AP) — Barry Bonds hit his 742ndcareer home run for San Francisco. ScottHairston hit his 14th, and it lifted Arizona tothe win.Hairston, a pinch-hitter, hit reliever VinnieChulk’s first pitch 418 feet into the left-fieldseats with two runners on to give theDiamondbacks a 5-4 lead in the seventhinning.Chulk (0-1) and Jack Taschner couldn’t protecta 4-1 lead for starter Matt Cain, who allowedone hit and one run in six innings.

It was Bonds’ eighth homerun of the season and his third off Gonzalez.

Saturday, and the Seahawksagreed to the trade Sundaymorning.

Jackson caught 63 passesfor 963 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns last sea-son. He was leading the NFLin touchdown receptions latelast season before he missedthree games with turf toe.

Seattle signed NateBurleson to a seven-year, $49million deal before last sea-son. The Seahawks thenacquired Deion Branch fromNew England in Septemberand signed the former SuperBowl MVP to a $39 millioncontract.

Jackson could tell Ruskellhad soured on him monthsago, particularly on issuesaround his contract.

“I was promised certainthings and I was slated on cer-tain things, and when the newregime came in, they didn’t

really want to hear that,”Jackson said. “Tim Ruskell isjust going in a new direction.He brought in a good player inDeion Branch. He brought ina good player in NateBurleson. I guess he reallyliked those guys, and I wasn’tone of his guys.”

Jackson joins free-agentsignee Ashley Lelie, veteransArnaz Battle and BryanGilmore and third-round pickJason Hill in the 49ers’ receiv-ing corps. Jackson said heintends to participate in the49ers’ minicamp next week-end to get a quick start on theopen competition for bothstarting spots.

“He gives us a receiverthat’s proven in the NFL,”Nolan said. “He’s very pro-ductive. He’s in the division,

and that’s important. He’sgoing to compete with Arnaz,and we’ll see how that goes.That will be interesting.”

The 49ers were desperatefor a top-flight receiver aftercutting Antonio Bryant earlierin the offseason, and several49ers have prior experiencewith Jackson. Backup quarter-back Trent Dilfer threw passesto Jackson while both were inSeattle, and personnel chiefScot McCloughan previouslywas a Seahawks executive.

Jackson is due to make$3.25 million in base salarythis season. He said the tradeincluded no major changes tohis contract.

MONDAY, APRIL 30, 2007 – B-3

Dear Annie: My “Aunt Valerie” has a 40-year-old son who e-mailed invitations to hisdestination wedding at a fancy hotel. My par-ents drove 12 hours (one way), while anotheraunt and uncle endured a 32-hour drive (oneway), paying $250 per night at the hotel.

The day of the ceremony, my mother jok-ingly asked Valerie, “So he’s really going to dothis? He’s got a license and everything?”Valerie replied, “Actually, this is sort of a mockwedding. They didn’t have time to get thelicense. Besides, they really want to get mar-ried by their minister, but he couldn’t come thisweekend. Nobody’s supposed to know.”

My mother was furious they’d driven allthat way and spent an exorbitant amount ofmoney for a mock wedding. Mom waited untilafter the ceremony and quietly mentioned theinformation to my father, who, fuming, told myaunt and uncle. My aunt eventually phonedValerie and told her none of them had anyintention of attending another ceremony back

home. Valerie said everyone was overreacting.She got into an argument with my father, flungall kinds of accusations at my mother, and wasupset that no one seemed supportive of thebride and groom.

I heard the bride and groom are now legallymarried, finally. Are we justified in feelingdeceived and misled? Or, as Valerie said, arewe all overreacting? Please help us sort thisout. There are some pretty hard feelings. --Niece

Dear Niece: We understand your anger. Youwere misled, but it doesn’t seem intentional.This is the wedding your cousin wanted toshare with his family, and he was too disorga-

nized to get the license in time. Instead of can-celing, they decided to go through with the fes-tivities. None of you was obligated to attend asecond ceremony, but it would have been morediplomatic if your parents had simply replied,“Sorry, we can’t make it,” when invited to thereal thing, instead of saying so in advance.Now we hope everyone will forgive one anoth-er and wish the newlyweds well.

Dear Annie: My cousin joined a gang.She’s only 12, and I’m so scared for her thatwhen I found out, I couldn’t sleep. She’s mak-ing me so mad. How can I help her? -- Scaredin the USA

Dear Scared: You are right to be scared.The best thing you can do for your cousin is totell your parents, and ask them to discuss itwith your cousin’s parents. Your cousin may beupset with you, but you are doing the rightthing. We hope her parents will find a way tohelp before your cousin makes a terrible mis-take.

Dear Annie: When I read your columnabout Valentines for Vets, I got my little honorguard consisting of four kids (sixth-, seventh-and eighth-graders), and the school allowed usto have a field trip to the VA hospital in Biloxi.

The experience was a teary eye-opener forme, a retired Navy chief, and my honor guardloved it. It was one of the most rewardingexperiences of my life, and the kids are stilltalking about it.

I am a member of the Patriot Guard Riders,and our Mississippi group made Easter basketsfor vets at the veterans home in Jackson. I tookmy 12- year-old granddaughter to this event soshe could see the sun rise on a veteran’s face. -- Appreciated in Long Beach, Miss.

Dear Long Beach: Thank you for taking thetime to make a difference in the lives of ourveterans, as well as teaching the children howmuch a visit means to someone in the hospital.We hope more of our readers will be equallyinspired.
