Scott Poma works the scene of a shooting Tuesday that took place in the parking lot of the Willits Bank. By BEN BROWN The Daily Journal Two people were killed and a third injured in a midday shooting Tuesday in the parking lot of the Bank of Willits in what Mendocino County Sheriff’s Capt. Kevin Broin described as an apparent murder-suicide. Broin said a man approached two women about 12:50 p.m. Tuesday while they were sitting in a Honda Accord in the parking lot of the bank. “We believe the man shot both of the females in the vehicle and then turned the gun on himself,” Broin said. Necole Sutters, a longtime friend of one of the victims, identified the deceased woman as Jeannette Pinion and her alleged attacker as Pinion’s ex- boyfriend Brian Lofling. Sheriff Tom Allman confirmed those identities Tuesday evening. Pinion, 43, and Lofling, 50, died in the parking lot; the third victim, who Willits Police identified as Catherine Sanders, 44, of Redwood Valley, suffered injuries to a leg and was taken to Howard Memorial Hospital for treatment. Allman said her injuries did not appear life-threatening. The bodies of Pinion and Lofling lay under tarps Tuesday afternoon while police investigated the scene. Broin said one of the victims and the suspect knew each other but did not say what their relationship was. Sutters said Lofling was an ex- boyfriend of Pinion’s but that the two had not been a couple for a long time. She also said Pinion had a restraining order against Lofling. “She stayed away from him,” Sutters said. A Willits High School student said the nearby school was locked down for an hour in the wake of the shooting. Police were called to the scene by a firefighter from the Willits-Little Lake Fire Department who saw the shooting and called it in. Broin said the shooting did not involve the bank. “It just ended up in their park- ing lot,” he said. The Willits Police Department is the lead agency in this investigation; the Sheriff’s Office and the California Highway Patrol were also present Tuesday to help secure the scene and gather evidence.

A brief history of a grand old game
In 1905, Horace Weller, aprominent banker and business-man residing on Stewart Street inFort Bragg, purchased land fromthe Old Stewart House home-stead, which was directly acrossthe street from his three-storymansion.
This land consisted of two citylots with a barn. A three-storyCraftsman home was designedand built as a wedding gift forhis son Charles Weller and hisnew bride Adelia Craighan. Theywere married on July 12, 1905 inthe grand ballroom on the thirdfloor of what presently is knownas The Weller House whereHorace Weller lived.
The interior of the new homeon 561 Stewart St. was gracious-ly trimmed with first growth red-wood with a charming staircasewinding up to the third floor, andwith a vast wall of built-in red-wood China cabinets in the din-ing room. Charles and Adelialived in this home for manyyears. The home exhibitedstrength and character and it wasone of the few buildings leftstanding after the 1906 earth-quake.
Throughout the years, therewere many additions andchanges made to this grand oldantique. One of these changeswas the expansion of the livingroom by enclosing a section ofthe porch, which extended acrossthe front exterior of the house. In1955, the Wellers celebrated their50th wedding anniversary. Sometime in the ‘60s the house wasinherited by the Flager Familywho were related to both theWellers and the Craighans. Soonafter that it became vacant andderelict.
In the 1980s, Anne Sorrellspurchased the home with theintent of converting it to a bedand breakfast. A commercialkitchen was installed with thelatest stainless steel appliances.A stainless steel sink expandedthe whole outside wall of thekitchen, covering half of the twowindows. An island working andserving station was topped with acopper counter.
Living quarters were con-structed on the ground level fromthe back staircase and back doorentrance. Sun decks were builtoff the second and third floorbedrooms. Once the constructionand renovations were completethe home was called
The Avalon House. It openedfor business offering six bed-room suites each with a privatebathroom. This BandB becamevery popular with tourists formany years.
In 2004, The Avalon Housewas sold to the Neeses. They didfurther upgrades and improve-ments, but unfortunately theynever were able to open as a bedand breakfast.
In 2006, Dr. William Rohr, alocal orthopedic surgeon and hiswife Linda, purchased this beau-tiful antique as a private resi-dence.
Recent projects and the future
One of their first projects theytalked about was the kitchen.The kitchen was very functionalfor a bed and breakfast, but notvery complimentary to the aes-thetics that was well deserved.They set out looking for aremodel company worthy of theproject.
By researching FieldstoneCabinetry, the quality cabinetsthey used during their previouskitchen remodel inMassachusetts, they foundCabinets Unlimited in Ukiah.With some specific design ideasin mind combined with theextensive design experience ofCabinets Unlimited, a kitchendesign was mutually agreedupon.
Tracy Schuette, lead designerfor Cabinets Unlimited said,“The final design not only fit thespace, maintained good function,but also preserved the Craftsmanstyle of the house.”
The selection process wentequally as well, while workingwith Tracy, Bill and Linda chosecherry cabinets featuring a tradi-tional craftsman style door thathad straight lines and a little bitof modern flair, maintenance freeCorian countertops, and a ruggedtile floor.
Professional-grade stainlesssteel appliances including a 42-inch SubZero refrigerator and a36-inch dual fuel Wolf rangewere specifically selected byowners Bill and Linda.
“We were very happy with theprocess we encountered atCabinets Unlimited and werevery excited to get the construc-tion underway,” says Linda.
During the 4-week remodel
one of the tasks was matchingthe 1905 redwood wainscoting.The problem was solved inadver-tently when removing some dry-wall to relocate some electrical,the matching wainscoting wasdiscovered under the removeddrywall.
“That was incredible to find,especially since it was the exactamount needed” said Eric Cline,owner of Cabinets Unlimited andClines Unlimited ConstructionInc.
The wainscoting was an intri-cal piece to tie the old and newtogether. The old wainscotinghad rfour layers of paint thatneeded to be removed to get toits original finish. The resultswere dramatic and precisely whatthe owners were looking for.
“We very much enjoyed work-ing with the Rohr’s,” Cline said.
“The Rohrs kitchen was cer-tainly a pleasure to designbecause of the history of thehouse. The relationship we
developed, and the final resultswere magnificent,” said Tracy
“Our overall experience inworking with Eric, Tracy and therest of the Cabinets UnlimitedConstruction crew was one thatwas very painless, pleasant, andmost surprisingly quick! We feelthis was mainly due to Eric’stotal professionalism, vastknowledge and experience andcreativity. The fact that he andhis crew traveled every day fromUkiah to Fort Bragg didn’t pre-vent them from keeping up withthe estimated time frame.,” saidLinda and Bill Rohr.
Recently, the Rohrs havemade significant changes in thelandscaping, which required amajor overall of overgrownplants, shrubs and trees. It istheir plan and goal to eventuallyrestore the rest of the house inkeeping with the old Craftsmantradition and to continue toexhibit the respect and nurturingthat this Old Grand Dame ofStewart Street so justly deserves.
Historical home in Fort Bragg,gets a ‘kitchen makeover’
The Weller House, named for the original owner of the house, was given a kitchenmakeover by Cabinets Unlimited, owened and operated locally by Eric Cline. Below is aphotograph of the finished kitchen, in a traditional craftsman style.
Q: Over the past severalyears, my mother, now 83 yearsold, has becoming increasinglyforgetful -- leaving the oven on,locking herself outside herhouse, losing her car keys, get-ting lost near her house and soon.
My sisters and I took her toher family doctor who gave hersome cognitive tests. Althoughhe said that the results wereinconclusive, the doctor told usMom “might” have Alzheimer’sdisease. But he didn’t put her onany medication. Mom isn’tmuch worse today, but she’s notany better, either. I don’t want totake her back to the family doc-tor because I don’t think he wasvery attentive to Mom the firsttime around. What are ouroptions?
A: While cognitive testing isonly one tool in the diagnosis ofthe cause of memory loss, today,the definitive diagnosis ofAlzheimer’s can be made only
after death by an autopsy --hence the doctor’s hesitation tomake a diagnosis.
But the timing of your ques-tion is good, because just a fewweeks ago, the media wasbuzzing over reports that ablood test has been developedby researchers that may be ableto predict whether mild memorylapses could be an early sign ofAlzheimer’s disease.
According to a paper pub-lished in the British journal
Nature Medicine, an internation-al team of researchers -- basedmainly at Stanford University --discovered that 18 proteinsfound in the blood predictedwhether a person would developAlzheimer’s disease with 80percent to 90 percent accuracy.
If these proteins can be usedto predict the disease two to sixyears before the onset of the dis-ease, it would help patients plantheir lives -- and their estates.While more research is neces-sary, experts tell us this bloodtest is a promising development.
There are other developmentsin this area, as well.

Institute, Karolinska Institute, inStockholm, Sweden.
Goldknopf said that Power3has discovered 59 neurodegen-erative protein biomarkers in theblood whose concentrations canbe monitored to diagnoseAlzheimer’s, Parkinson’s andALS (also known as LouGehrig’s disease). The companyhas already tested 750 patientsand is “ready for commercial-ization” of the blood test, hesaid. The first step, which isexpected shortly, is to make thetest available to physicians, whocan order them for their patientsand then send samples to theHouston lab for analysis.
But, we asked, since there iscurrently no cure forAlzheimer’s, Parkinson’s orALS, why would people want tohave the test done? Because inthe case of these diseases,“ignorance is not bliss,” saysGoldknopf. “The sooner you

Hearing is believingTo the Editor:I would like to thank our new local radio
station KMEC 105.1 FM for broadcastingthe weekly Board of Supervisors meetingsevery Tuesday. It’s a reality check to hearour local “representatives” at “work.” Ihighly recommend it.
The notion of representative, govern-ment is an ideal held in high regard indemocratic society. Unfortunately, repre-sentation seems to be a tool of those whocan afford to buy it. The good of the publicinterest is becoming a lost concept.
Mendocino County operates on a lessthan representative level. The special inter-ests of agriculture, timber and developmenthave controlled county politics for manygenerations. They hold heavy influenceover the entire Board of Supervisors, keep-ing a few of them cozy in their pockets.They have advanced their station in life atthe expense of our children’s future.
A recent Supervisors meeting was aglaring example of disrespect for the com-mon good. The Board had the opportunityto practice the precautionary principle andask State inspectors to make sure the publicwas being protected from the toxins at theformer International Paper/Masonite Site. Itwould cost the county nothing to insurethat people were not being poisoned by thedismantling of the site. A no-brainer voteddown by the brainless.
It’s time for the Board of Supervisors torealize that the majority of the people theyshould be representing are not farmers,developers or part of the timber industry.They are working families with concernsfor the future of their children. They wantdecent jobs, clean air and water, fish andforests. Business as usual in MendocinoCounty has been one of job loss, resourceextraction and environmental destructionwith no accountability or thought of futuregenerations.
The special interest groups have beengiven a free lunch in Mendocino County.Catering to them is business as usual. Infact they are so accustomed to getting theirway they whine like spoiled children at themere suggestion that they clean up afterthemselves. It makes no difference whatthe issue is they’ve honed their complain-ing rhetoric into a mutual chant. “If wehave to do that’ you’ll be putting us out ofbusiness, it will cost too much money,we’ll have to fire our workers, and have nochoice but to subdivide our land.” Theircounty lackeys chime in with a chorus of,“No staff for inspection, no time or moneyto enforce.” Then the self-interested, whin-ers come in with a second verse, “We arestewards of the land. We can monitor our-selves. We will use ‘Best ManagementPractices”, and write a letter telling you allabout it. “Trust us.”
Pay as you go, no such thing as a freelunch, pick up after yourselves and lookbefore you leap are simple concepts mostof us learned in kindergarten. It’s time forMendocino County’s good ole boy rulingclass to learn those same lessons. You boyshave had your fun; now it’s time to pay!Elections are coming up. Throw the bumsout.

Suggestions on Masonite demolition
To the Editor:My name is Antonio Andrade. I spoke at
the Board of Supervisor’s (BOS) meetingon Tuesday, Oct. 30. I clearly have a per-spective about the degree of oversight nec-essary during the Masonite demolition andremediation process.
However, I am a long term appointee tothe Mendocino County Public HealthAdvisory Board (MCPHAB), have studiedMendocino County Government and keepan overview about systems, what makesthem function well, and the need toimprove on them. So I offer the followingfrom that perspective:
1 ) Although it is a positive step to initi-ate a public dialogue about the MasoniteDemolition process, it is difficult to view
the process as viable without a concurrentcessation of activity at the project site. Notonly that, on Oct. 24, the County issuedanother permit for the excavation of soilfrom the demolition area.
So the project continues to get Countyapproval every step of the way while a dia-logue about what is happening is proposed.I think it essential here that CountyGovernment find it’s way back to neutral inthis process and provide the degree ofoversight required.
2) The general perception is somethingmore needs to be done by the County todemonstrate that it is listening to someoneelse than the key representatives of theEmployers Council that appear to have theCounty’s ear. One option would have beento call in individuals who have been raisingthe questions to ensure that the Countyunderstands in detail the issues beingraised. That would bring balance to theprocess.
3) There are significant parts of theMasonite file that have turned up missingfrom Environmental Health (EH). Anotherstep to ensure confidence would be tolaunch an internal investigation to under-stand what happen to the County recordsthat contained lists of the various haz-ardous materials Masonite was required tofile with the County.
I want to note I received a very con-structive communication from EH on Nov.1, evening informing me EH had locatedthe 1998 Hazardous Materials ManagementPlan (HMMP) for Masonite at the UkiahValley Fire Offices. That degree of initia-tive to search out where some of the miss-ing plans from EH might possibly be locat-ed is to be commended. Although we don’thave a list of past chemicals stored at thesite, this is at least an important start.
4) Put together an internal task force thevarious County Departments and Agenciesinvolved with any oversight of theDemolition Process and have them puttogether an cohesive approach to this majorproject: This was suggested in MCPHAB’sletter to the BOS regarding oversight of theproject. Along with the CEO’s office, Iwould suggest including the County HealthOfficer, Environmental Health, Air QualityManagement District (AQMD);Department of Transportation, andPlanning and Building. Make sure allDepartments are informed of what theother Department is doing or not doing.For instance, if a soil excavation permit isbeing requested, inform EH of that request.
5) Some additional demonstration thatthe County is being proactive in this mat-ter. Here are a few suggestions: a) HaveEH run adds in the local paper and on theradio requesting any information citizen;and past employees might have regarding
toxic spills, burial of hazardous materials,information about chemicals used at thesite, and any information about wherechemicals were stored and approximatelocation of any burial sites. The Countycontact in this area should assure confiden-tiality to any responders. Note, there is noaccusation that any of these activities tookplace. This is simply an inquiry; be) Puttogether a list of the hazardous materialsknown to be used at the site from theHMMP, any information about the by-products of the manufacturing processes atMasonite, the information contained in theMasonite Health Risk Assessments (HRA)on file with AQMD, and any other sourcessuch as the soils test done for the 20049000 gallon petrol spill onto Masoniteproperty. Use those identified compoundsas a list to determine what soil and airmonitoring compounds need to be testedfor. c) Have EH request that the soil nowbeing excavated be tested for these chemi-cals and compounds. We continue to deferto the Regional Water Quality Board fortests requests. Regional Water Quality onlyorders test the DDR says ought to be per-formed. EH has accepted these parameters.
This is a close system that does not takeinto consideration other hazardous materi-als known to have been used on site. Thisneeds to stop. It is EH’s job to protect thehealth of our community if Water Qualitycontinues to operate in a vacuum. d) Billthe Developer (DDR) for these tests andother costs to the County for this appropri-ate oversight. The County has been absorb-ing far too many indirect costs around thisproject.
I look forward to your perspectives onthis communication and seeing additionalsteps by the County to gain the initiative inthis matter.

Prop. 215 twisted out ofshape
To the Editor:I read the long letter from Steve Kubby of
the American Medical MarijuanaAssociation and was going to point out afew misstatements but then I saw theEditor’s response and it pretty much saidwhat I would say. I have written before thatI have read the entire body of Prop. 215 andsee what has been done under it and said,give an inch and someone will always takea mile. Laws should be clearer, if this wassupposed to allow the legalizing of marijua-na, I missed it. As for creating an industry, Idon’t think it said that, either.

From the desk of ...ROBERT SAMUELSON
Robert Samelson explores political, economic andsocial issues for the Washington Post Writer’s Group.
WASHINGTON -- We are all waiting, it seems, forthe next recession.
Everyone knows that the business cycle hasn't beenrepealed, and so another recession is inevitable sooneror later. Some indicators now suggest that it might besooner. The Conference Board's consumer confidenceindex has declined for three straight months.
Just last week, the Federal Reserve cut its keyovernight interest rate for the second time sinceAugust. It now stands at 4.5 percent, down from itsrecent peak of 5.25 percent. Although the economygrew at a strong 3.9 percent annual rate in the thirdquarter, most economists regard this as an aberration.They expect slower growth or a recession, becausethree powerful forces are now assaulting the econom-ic expansion.
First, housing. Its collapse deepens. EconomistRichard Berner of Morgan Stanley notes that sales ofnew and existing homes have dropped 42 percent and30 percent, respectively, from their peaks of more thantwo years ago. As supplies of unsold homes grow, realestate prices continue to fall. One index finds thatprices in August were down 4.4 percent nationallyfrom a year earlier.
Second, oil prices. They're approaching $100 a bar-rel. Even before the latest price increases, energy costsrose to 6.2 percent of consumer spending in the secondquarter from 4.5 percent in 2002, notes consultant JackLavery, a former chief economist of Merrill Lynch.Higher energy costs will continue to weaken purchas-ing power for other goods and services, he says.
Third, credit problems. As lenders and investorshave suffered losses on subprime mortgages -- loans toweaker borrowers -- they've tightened lending stan-dards for other borrowers. With the economy slowing,Diane Vazza of Standard & Poor's expects bonddefaults to rise among shakier corporate borrowers,especially companies dependent on strong consumerspending (retailers, fast-food chains, entertainmentfirms).
Countering these powerful downward economicpressures are strong export growth (up at a 16 percentannual rate in the third quarter) and increased federalgovernment spending (up 7 percent). The economy'sfate hangs heavily on the outcome of this tug of war.Meanwhile, what's missing from all the agonizingabout a possible recession is a sense of proportion.
Of course, no one likes the usual side effects of arecession: higher unemployment, weaker profits, morestress. Still, popular rhetoric exaggerates the damage.By and large, recessions are problems, not tragedies.Since World War II, there have been 10 of them, or oneabout every six years. On average, they've lasted 10months (indeed, a common definition of a recession isat least two quarters of declining output).
Disregarding two severe recessions -- those of1973-75 and 1981-82 -- peak monthly unemploymenthas averaged 7.1 percent.
Recessions also have often-overlooked benefits.They dampen inflation. In weak markets, companiescan't easily raise prices, nor workers' wages. Similarly,recessions punish reckless financial speculation andpoor corporate investments. Bad bets don't pay off.These disciplining effects contribute to the economy'slong-term strength, but it seems coldhearted to say sobecause the initial impact is hurtful.
Today, a U.S. recession might also reverse theupward spiral of oil prices and trigger a faster -- andhealthier -- drop in home prices. As economist Bernernotes, the slow decline in prices prolongs the housingslump, because it induces "would-be buyers (to) waitfor more attractive deals." By making homes moreaffordable, a quick and sharp price drop might revivehousing more rapidly.
"Moral hazard" is now a much-bandied-aboutphrase. Its initial meaning stems from insurance: Ifyou overinsure someone against risk, you may encour-age undesirable behavior. Example: Cheap floodinsurance will spur home building along vulnerablecoasts.
The Fed faces a similar problem. If it tries too hardto prevent a recession -- through easy-money policies-- investors, businesses and workers may concludethey have nothing to fear. They may then engage inprecisely the risky and inflationary behavior thatmakes matters worse, perversely "resulting in an evenlarger bubble and a larger subsequent recession,"warns economist John Makin of the AmericanEnterprise Institute.
We've been there before. In the 1960s and 1970s,the Fed followed easy-credit policies on the belief thatgovernment could end recessions and constantly keepthe economy close to "full employment." The badbehavior thus encouraged was inflationary wage andprice increases by firms and workers relieved of thefear of recession. The experiment boomeranged:Double-digit inflation ensued along with the savage1973-75 and 1981-82 recessions (peak unemploy-ment: 9 percent, 10.8 percent). The real "moral haz-ard" problem today is not starting down that path

Dear Annie: I have been dating a wonderfulman for about four years. “Sam” treats me withrespect and is very caring, but he never payshis bills on time. He has a great job, but sever-al times in the past I have had to bail him out.He will pay a portion of his bills and leave therest to be added on to the next monthly state-ment. Once, he didn’t have enough money topay his rent, so I assisted. He always pays meback, but that is not the point. Sam’s motherwas evicted from her apartment because shedidn’t pay her rent. She now lives with him.She has a good job, but spends all her sparetime at a casino. No one is willing to say shehas a gambling problem and this might be whyshe is homeless.
I cannot consider a future with Sam unlesshe can handle his money better. I don’t want tobe a fall-back person for someone who isfinancially irresponsible. What do you say? --Wondering in the World
Dear Wondering: Sam apparently learnedhis fiscal habits from his mother. It’s possible
he can be taught to be more responsible, but hemust understand it’s a problem that requireswork. He can find a financial counselorthrough the National Foundation for CreditCounseling (nfcc.org or 1-800-388-2227) tohelp him set up a budget and see if he can livewithin his means. Give him the chance toimprove the situation before you make anydecisions about your future.
Dear Annie: My 16-year-old granddaugh-ter, “Tina,” lives in another state. She is anextremely self-centered young lady. Tina onlytalks when she wants something. She is a car-bon copy of her mother, who is divorced frommy loving, caring son. Tina wants to live full-time with her mother, where there are no rules.
She shows her dad no respect. She has beento psychologists and is taking medication fordepression, but nothing seems to help. Herfather is trying to teach her basic values such aslove, compassion, respect and a decent workethic, while her mother teaches manipulationand has a “get everything you can” mentality.Her mother even lies to the school authoritiesto keep Tina out of trouble.
My granddaughter is very attractive andintelligent, but there is no substance. We loveher unconditionally, but how does anyoneteach her to care about others? Is there hope? -- Concerned Grandma
Dear Grandma: There’s always hope. Tinais young and her life will be shaped by whatlies ahead. We urge you not to pass judgmenttoo quickly -- on your granddaughter or hermother. Be a place of refuge for her, and whenshe is with you, teach by example those quali-ties you want her to emulate. Kids absorb a lotwhen you think they aren’t paying attention.
Dear Annie: I want to thank you for men-tioning Al-Anon. As a 12-year veteran of thiswonderful program, it not only saved my life,
it has allowed me to find a better life than Icould have imagined with an alcoholic hus-band.
When I first started going to these meetingsI had very little knowledge of Al-Anon andalmost didn’t continue because I misunder-stood what it was. Al- Anon is a group of peo-ple who are suffering from another’s drinking.I learned that I could not control anyone else’sbehavior, but it doesn’t have to keep me frombeing happy. Al-Anon is not group therapy. Wesimply share our own experiences. Al-Anon isnot a religious program and is not affiliatedwith any religious sect or denomination. Thereis no cost for this program, only voluntary con-tributions to pay for rent and literature.
For me, Al-Anon is an important new wayof life that I will continue forever. I encourageanyone who is struggling with another’s alco-hol consumption to give it a try. -- A NewWoman in Upstate N.Y.
Dear N.Y.: What a wonderful testimonial.Anyone looking for the nearest chapter can call1-888-4-AL-ANON (1-888-425-2666) or logon to al-anon- alateen.org.

I was either hit by a car or fell out of a truck on 11/8 and was found on Vine-yard Oaks Dr. in RV.I am being treated at the Ukiah shelter for my injuries, but I real-ly need my humans to come and take me home. I am a male B&W Border Coll ie Mix. Please come to 298 Plant Rd or call Sage at 467-6453

Bhutto demands Pakistan president stepdown, derailing U.S. hope for alliance
LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani opposition leaderBenazir Bhutto demanded the resignation of U.S.-backedPresident Gen. Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday, dashing Westernhopes that the two moderate leaders would form an alliance toconfront strengthening Islamic extremists.
Bhutto, just placed under house arrest for the second timesince her return from exile, said she was working to forge apartnership with Nawaz Sharif, the man overthrown as primeminister in a 1999 coup by Musharraf.
Her call, which could see Pakistan’s two main oppositionparties joining, raised a new threat for Musharraf, a key U.S.ally who faces growing pressure at home and abroad to endemergency rule and restore democracy.
It further complicated matters for Washington, which hascriticized Musharraf’s recent crackdown on dissent but seeshim as a dependable partner in the fight against al-Qaida. Asenior U.S. envoy headed to Pakistan was expected to reiteratethe U.S. calls for an end to emergency rule, which has led tothousands of arrests and a clampdown on the media.
Iran gives IAEA blueprints linkedto possible nuclear weapons program
VIENNA, Austria (AP) — Iran has met a key demand of theU.N. nuclear agency, handing over long-sought blueprintsshowing how to mold uranium metal into the shape of war-heads, diplomats said Tuesday.
Iran’s decision to release the documents, which were seen byU.N. inspectors two years ago, was seen as a concessiondesigned to head off the threat of new U.N. sanctions.
But the diplomats said Tehran has failed to meet otherrequests made by the International Atomic Energy Agency in itsattempts to end nearly two decades of nuclear secrecy on thepart of Iran.
The diplomats spoke to The Associated Press as IAEA chiefMohamed ElBaradei put the finishing touches on his latestreport to his agency’s 35-nation board of governors for consid-eration next week. While ElBaradei is expected to say that Iranhas improved its cooperation with his agency’s probe, the find-ings are unlikely to deter the United States, France and Britainfrom pushing for a third set of U.N. sanctions.
The agency has been seeking possession of the blueprintssince 2005, when it stumbled upon them among a batch of otherdocuments during its examination of suspect Iranian nuclearactivities. While agency inspectors had been allowed to exam-ine them in the country, Tehran had up to now refused to let theIAEA have a copy for closer perusal.
Justice restarts inquiry into agency’sapproval of domestic surveillance program
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department hasreopened a long-dormant inquiry into the government’s war-
rantless wiretapping program, a major policy shift only daysinto the tenure of new Attorney General Michael Mukasey.
The investigation by the department’s Office of ProfessionalResponsibility was shut down last year, after the investigatorswere denied security clearances. Gonzales told Congress thatPresident Bush, not he, denied the clearances. “We recentlyreceived the necessary security clearances and are now able toproceed with our investigation,” H. Marshall Jarrett, counsel forthe OPR, wrote to Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y. A copy of theletter, dated Tuesday, was obtained by The Associated Press.
Hinchey and other Democrats have long sought an investi-gation into the spying program to see if it complies with the law.Efforts to investigate the program have been rebuffed by theBush administration.
“I am happily surprised,” Hinchey said. “It now seemsbecause we have a new attorney general the situation haschanged. Maybe this attorney general understands that hisobligation is not to be the private counsel to the president butthe chief law enforcement officer for the entire country.”
Economic costs of Iraq, Afghanistanwars put at $1.6 trillion so far
WASHINGTON (AP) — The economic costs of the wars inIraq and Afghanistan are estimated to total $1.6 trillion —roughly double the amount the White House has requested thusfar, according to a new report by Democrats on Congress’ JointEconomic Committee.
The report, released Tuesday, attempted to put a price tag onthe two conflicts, including “hidden” costs such as interest pay-ments on the money borrowed to pay for the wars, lost invest-ment, the expense of long-term health care for injured veteransand the cost of oil market disruptions.
The $1.6 trillion figure, for the period from 2002 to 2008,translates into a cost of $20,900 for a family of four, the reportsaid. The Bush administration has requested $804 billion for theIraq and Afghanistan wars combined, the report stated.
For the Iraq war only, total economic costs were estimated at$1.3 trillion for the period from 2002 to 2008. That would costa family of four $16,500, the report said.
Future economic costs would be even greater. The reportestimated that both wars would cost $3.5 trillion between 2003and 2017.

which ultimately led to thefinal design -- expected to beunveiled in December and fol-lowed by more workshops.
Although the final detailsof the design are not yetknown, Project DirectorLaura Hall, in April, provideda clue to some of the ideas thegroup had discussed for thefinal plan.
As previously reported inThe Daily Journal, a presenta-tion made by Hall followingthe charette highlighted sixmajor concepts that came outof the weeklong process. Thefirst would make PerkinsStreet more walkable, andcould be achieved by widen-ing the street to allow on-street parking, as well asbringing business fronts clos-er to the street. In the samearea, a “gateway building”was proposed for the corner ofEast Perkins Street andOrchard Avenue at the PearTree Center that would incor-porate design elements foundelsewhere in Ukiah, such asthe turret on the UkiahBrewing Co. building.
Another concept of notewas bringing more attentionto Gibson Creek throughouttown, namely, creating a gate-way to downtown where thecreek crosses North StateStreet by narrowing the roadand adding markers. Alsodowntown was the concept ofcreating more civic space byreducing the size of the court-house to accommodate alibrary should the courts bemoved
“We’re very excited aboutit,” Stump said. “The commu-nity worked very hard at thefive-day charette, and hope-fully we’ll see their vision inDecember.
“Following the unveiling inDecember it will lead to pub-lic workshops and educationalmeetings that will then lead toformal public hearings to bediscussed during PlanningCommission and City Councilmeetings.”
The city hired Fisher &Hall -- a design firm withcompleted projects nation-wide -- in August 2006 to cre-ate a redesigned downtownand Perkins Street corridor fora fee of slightly more than$15,000.
