THE PRESS DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, APRIL 1 S04 Cloverdale bypass Cloverdale Clinton aide tries to calm! stock investors usually slow this time of year. She said The Oaks has a lot of return customers, and she expects business to pick up in May. "I don't think business has dropped off as much as they thought It was going to," said Phyllis Schmidt, who runs Cloverdale Coffee Shop. She said travelers will continue to stop in town. "Cloverdale has always been a pit stop," she said.

Travelers to Boonville and the Mendocino Coast will still have to get off the freeway at downtown Cloverdale to reach Highway 128. Schmidt is excited about downtown renovation and the river park. "It's going to be beautiful," she said. Some Cloverdale boosters envision downtown as a major tourist destination, with wine tasting and boutiques. But Domenichelli said he doesn't think that will happen.

"I really think Cloverdale is going to be a bedroom community" for retirees and people who work in Santa Rosa, he said. Although the housing market has stalled in recent years, there are plans for 1,200 new homes in the city. Linda Brown, who runs the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, said the business group is working with Caltrans to ease the impacts on merchants. They are setting up a freeway sign program to identify businesses that serve travelers. In the meantime, the city and chamber have started an effort to bring new businesses to town.

"We've been getting a lot of interest from people who know the bypass is completed," said Brown. She said the bypass is giving Cherry Cr.

"If I were a normal investor, one thing I would absolutely not try to do is out-trade or outguess the market Nobody knows what the market's going to do day-to-day," Robert Rubin, director of the National Economic Council, said Sunday. Traders on Wall Street were bracing for another topsy-turvy session when the stock market reopens after a three-day Easter weekend.

Negotiators for both sides expressed optimism an agreement could be reached. Rabin said in remarks broadcast Sunday that Israel would let exiled Palestinians return and would negotiate a prisoner release at the Cairo talks. Palestinians said 49 exiles would return, Reuters news service reported. The PLO demands the release of an estimated 9,000 prisoners held by Israel.

Rabin did not give a figure, but the Israeli newspaper Davar said several thousand would be freed in the coming weeks.

Police traced him to the house of a fellow settler. -1 Rubin and was down about 8 percent from its peak Jan. 31.

A government economic report released when the stock market was closed in observance of Good Friday was expected to cause more jitters when trading resumed. "I think there's no doubt that the market's going to at least open on the down side," said Chemical Bank economist Irwin Kellner, who appeared on ABC-TV's "This Week With David Brinkley." The Labor Department reported a surge in non-farm payrolls in March, the biggest in more than six years. On the bond market, which was open Friday, interest rates soared and prices posted their steepest drop in four years. Investment banker Kenneth Lip-per of Lipper Co. said he expected the stock market to continue to unwind for several weeks.

"The intermediate term is going to be choppy and very scary and very challenging to the average investor," he said. Rubin, who also appeared on ABC, acknowledged the market's recent behavior has been unpleasant and painful but urged investors Marzel, 35, was unarmed, and he offered no resistance, according to police spokesman Eric Ben-Chen. Marzel, whose movement acknowledged that Goldstein was a member and proclaimed him a martyr after the massacre, had evaded the police but not the media during the weeks since the government ordered his detention. Search questioned During the month Marzel appeared to move freely, granting newspaper and television interviews and appearing at pro-settler rallies near Hebron. Many Palestinians had been growing increasingly skeptical about the hunt for the man who succeeded the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, who founded Kach in Brooklyn in 1971 and was assassinated in 1991.

Police said Marzel would be held without trial for three months along with the six other Jewish extremist leaders who were targeted for arrest by Rabin's government under an anti-terrorism law that has been applied mostly to Palestinian radicals in the past. charge $5,000 for a half-hour interview. He ruled out a meeting without payment. Records 'prepared' Zhirinovsky told CNN in an interview the documents had been "prepared against me," possibly by Russian security agents. CNN also quoted an official at the Alma-Ata archives as saying a man had recently offered her money to remove the documents about Zhirinovsky from the files.

Zhirinovsky's autobiography, "The Final March South," claims his father was named Volf Andrey-evich Zhirinovsky, but no records could be found for such a man in Alma-Ata. Details about the father in the autobiography seem to combine elements from his mother's two husbands. One husband was Andrei Vasi-lyevich Zhirinovsky who, documents show, died of tuberculosis in August 1944, 18 months before Zhirinovsky's birth on April 25, 1946. In the autobiography, Zhirinovsky mentions his mother had five to ride it out "The key is to keep your balance and keep your nerve steady and keep your eyes on what you think is going to happen over the long term," said Rubin. That long-term outlook include, solid growth at an annual rate of around 3.25 percent this year and moderate inflation of 3 percent to.

But Rubin predicted long-terni rates set in financial market? would remain "at levels that are consistent with the kind of growth; we're projecting."

A marriage registration shows five months before Zhirinovsky was born, his mother married Volf Isakovich Eidelshtein, officially listed as Jewish. She became Alexandra Pavlovna Eidelshtein and her nationality was listed as Russian.

On Zhirinovsky's birth registration, his father is identified only as "Volf." A note by an official on the back of the registration says "no documents for father." The baby's last name is handwritten in ink as Eidelshtein, then crossed out and listed in different handwriting as Zhirinovsky. A jotted explanation says the change was made in 1964. Another document, registering Zhirinovsky's new name with the city Ispolkom, or executive committee, bears the signature of the applicant: "Eidelshtein." Andrei V. Zhirinovsky was head of the forestry department of the Turkestan-Siberian Railway. Zhirinovsky wrote in his autobiography that his father was a lawyer for the railway.

Jack Domenichelli, a seven-time Cloverdale mayor and veteran real estate broker, said some downtown 'businesses won't survive the change. "It will take the marginal ones," he said. But the businesses that replace them will be stronger, according to Domenichelli. Developers already have announced plans for a $10 million shopping center near the South Cloverdale Boulevard interchange.

Highway-oriented businesses in the downtown area have been first to feel the pinch. Nick Kyriakos, who owns the 200-seat Owl Cafe, said business is way down. He said it's not easy for tourists to get off the bypass and find his diner. Things also are slow at The Wheel, a popular truck stop nearby. Part of the problem is that the downtown freeway interchange isn't finished.

The Central Cloverdale interchange isn't due to open until about April 8, and until then, motorists must exit north or south of town. Some gas stations and drive-ins also are hurting. A downtown liquor store and a sports shop have closed since the beginning of the year, and a drive-in is scheduled to shut down soon. One merchant said she's worried Cloverdale will become a ghost town. But Kyriakos said he hopes business will pick up when the downtown interchange is done.

Until then, he's going to stick it out. "I can't just lock the door," he said. Aileen Djeng at The Oaks Motel said business is off a bit, but it's Bosnia Continued from PageAl expectations." But the explicit manner in which Perry excluded using military power is likely to heighten the debate over the use of force in the post-Cold-War world. Some former officials said they were surprised by the public renunciation of military action to protect civilians in Gorazde. The concern is that Perry's comments might be taken by the Serbian forces as a green light to continue their artillery and infantry attacks in eastern Bosnia.

"My instinct is that the Serbs may not believe we will do anything about it anyway, but I do not see any purpose in confirming it for them," said Morton Abramowitz, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and former head of the State Department's intelligence office. Serbian forces have stepped up their attacks on Gorazde as part of a broad offensive to seize Muslim territory in eastern Bosnia. Not only could the seizure of the town Corbett Continued from PageAl recently why she still hangs onto the notebooks she kept as a juror, Sinclair said she wasn't sure what to say. "That was a big part of my life, and it's hard to throw it away," she said. "It's just something you shared that no one else will ever understand." Jury members and several alternates grew close during the lengthy trial.

They gathered for dinner shortly after it ended, and some have continued to stay in touch. Sinclair, Tracy-Jones and Gos-tovich plan to visit Lake County this spring to see the places they heard about in court. Sense of closure "There's no way to close the book until we see everything," Gostovich said. When the trial began in November, it took less than a day for jurors to learn the basic facts that would unfold in sickening detail through the winter: How Corbett, a troubled youth with a history of alcohol and drug abuse talked about killing Faris because he was angry and frustrated by her unrelenting attentions. How he, Hennis and another friend were listening to heavy metal music in a ranch shed near Kelseyville when Corbett raised the metal bat and hit Faris on the head.

How he straddled her bleeding body and choked her with his hands until Hennis supplied a spark plug wire to finish the job. How Faris' body was found the next day, stuffed in the back of her red Geo Storm abandoned on the Hopland Grade several miles from town. It was a true-life tragedy that was simultaneously offending and engrossing. One juror who was dismissed because of illness returned several times to watch the trial.

By publicly ruling out a pre-emptive strike, he argued, Washington left North Korea with the impression it may back off its demands if North Korea threatens war. "Psychologically, it was the wrong direction to go," Scowcroft said. "As long as they think the worst outcome for us is hostilities, then that is the direction they will try to push us to get us to back down." China sending team Trying to defuse the inspections standoff, a Chinese official said a high-ranking delegation will be sent to North Korea this month, South Korea's national news agency reported Sunday. China, as North Korea's only major ally, is potentially influential in resolving the dispute that has raised international tensions and fears of conflict. The Yonhap news agency also reported South Korea will hold off until at least May on its annual war games with the United States.

'No remorse' "He graphically and physically showed us how he killed her," said Tracy-Jones. "That was very difficult, because he showed no remorse. He went through like he was tying his shoe." Several jurors felt sorry for Corbett because of the loveless, unsupervised childhood he described in court.

Some wondered how he could be drunk in the fourth grade, and continue using drugs that kept him awake for days, then asleep for 24 hours, without anyone interceding. "Not that I'm justifying what he did. It was a terrible, hideous crime," Tracy-Jones said. "But he didn't have a chance. It is a wasted life." "My heart went out to him," Gostovich said, "because I don't think he knew what it was like to be loved by a parent" Do the right thing Sinclair said she would sometimes awake at night worrying about the responsibility, "that we have these young men's lives in our hands, and I sincerely wanted to do the right thing." During the initial phase of deliberations, two or three people leaned toward second-degree murder, creating the possibility of a deadlock.

The jury, which halfway through deliberations lost a juror and had to start from scratch, finally agreed Corbett was guilty of first-degree murder. But they unanimously rejected a finding of special circumstances that would have earned him life without parole, saying a close reading of the law made it impossible. Hennis judged more harshly The jury in Hennis case, in contrast, did find special circumstances, judging him more harshly than Corbett's jury. "It's just the difference in the personalities that you get on a jury," Lowes said. Both youths are under evaluation by the California Youth Authority, and face 25 years to life in prison, without a possibility of parole for Hennis.

They'll be sentenced this summer. A' Continued from PageAl That was just before he moved to Moscow from Kazakhstan, in what was then Soviet Central Asia, for higher education. Ethnic quotas for universities at the time held back many Jewish or Jewish-sounding students. Zhirinovsky won a place in the prestigious Institute of Oriental Languages, affiliated with Moscow State University. Authenticity supported The worn, hand-written documents at the Alma-Ata archives were retrieved from dusty shelves and cardboard boxes in response to a reporter's inquiries.

Officials at the archives said they were authentic. In Moscow, Grigory Serebrenni-kov, a spokesman for Zhirinovsky's party, told the AP, "The documents clearly have been forged." "Ever since his birth, his only last name has been Zhirinovsky. This name (Eidelshtein) never figured in his documents," Serebrennikov said. Serebrennikov said Zhirinovsky would answer questions, but would lead to civilian death; it could add to the tide of refugees who have been displaced by Serbian "ethnic cleansing." Concern about Gorazde was fueled by Serbian attacks last week against the northwestern town of Prijedor, which U.N. spokesmen have described as a campaign of murder and arson.

The United Nations has decided to evacuate thousands of Muslims and Croats from Prijedor to save them from attacks by nationalist Serbs. North Korea stance Perry also said the administration had rejected, for now, a pre-emptive attack on North Korea's nuclear sites because it might prompt retaliation against South Korea. And in a departure from past administrations' statements, Perry said if the North Korean army attacked the 37,000 U.S. troops in South Korea, he could not envision Washington would use nuclear weapons to protect them. Brent Scowcroft, national security adviser to President George Bush, said such comments undercut diplomatic pressure on North Korea to comply with U.N.

de funeral rather than be replaced on the panel. Jury of 7 women, 5 men The seven women and five men who reached the final verdict look back with mixed feelings. Some, like Grace Hugo, 64, found it easy to avoid getting emotionally involved. At this point, she said, she simply feels "it's over with." Hugo, a retired dental hygienist who served as forewoman, said the most difficult part of the experience was being prohibited by law from discussing it. Some aspects of the trial were moving, she said, such as Dean Faris' tearful testimony about seeing Corbett stick out his tongue -through the window of a passing patrol car three months after the murder.

"It just was really wrenching," Hugo said, "but emotions just can't come into play." Dean Faris' testimony left few dry eyes in the jury box, si-id Tracy-Jones, 43, who was seated closest to the witness stand. "When he was finished, and he was excused, he looked at me and he had tears in his eyes, and he said, 'Thank you' Talking to the dog Tracy-Jones said the trial was hard to forget at the end of the day. She would wake up in the middle of the night screaming the names of those involved. After awhile, she moved to a guest room to keep from disturbing her husband. Sometimes when she couldn't sleep, she'd go downstairs and talk to her dog, "because he was safe." "I had to release it," she said.

Norman Lowes, 53, said the ages of the defendants and their victim made it difficult to fend off emotion during the trial. The women with children had the hardest time, and many cried when they came close to a conviction, he said. Other jurors talked about crying jags, insomnia, loss of appetite and stressed relationships. They felt sympathy for Faris and ber family, for her grandfather who sat In the courtroom each day, and for two elderly aunts of Hennis who watched quietly, taking notes. And there was grief and anger, too, for the two boys whose lives were destroyed by their own Santa Rosa Sports Fitness Center 1 -fC Ayk Cybex Universal 6 Paramount Machines jnZS'S'S Swimming Pool Racquetball Basketball Stairclimbers Life Cycles IS I Treadmill Aerobics Concept Rowers Nordic Trak Invigorating Whirlpool 0 Sauna Steam Room Clean Locker Rooms Persons!
