OUTPUT: 20:34 USER: PHUND MODBEE10 SBR PAGE: 7 MODESTO FIRST 7 BLACK YELLOWCYAN MAGENTA CALIFORNIA South State man charged in deaths THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COSTA MESA A man shot, beheaded and dismem- bered his neighbor in a mili- tary base theater, then killed the friend af- ter using the dead cell phone to lure her to his apartment, police said Fri- day. Daniel Wozniak was charged with two counts of murder the same day he was supposed to get married to his Rachel Buffet, in a Long Beach park, said Cos- ta Mesa police Detective Sgt. Ed Everett. He was being held without bail. The 26-year-old Costa Mesa man is accused of dis- membering the body of Sam- uel Herr on May 21, leaving his torso at the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base and scattering the limbs and head in a Long Beach park.

Wozniak is suspected of shooting 23-year-old Juri Ki- buishi after summoning her with a text message on phone, then remov- ing her clothes to fake a sexu- al assault. Her body was found on May 22 by father. Investigators believe Buffet was involved in the murders, but Everett said more interviews were sched- uled. Suspect in hospital Prosecutors have not said if they would seek the death penalty against Wozniak. No arraignment date has been set.

father, Daryl Wozniak, said his son was in a coma after trying to com- mit suicide. Everett said the younger Wozniak was being treated at Western Medical Center. Police said Wozniak killed the 26-year-old Herr in a the- ater at the military base, then cut off his head, left arm and right hand. The torso was left in a sel- dom used part of the theater, Costa Mesa police Lt. Bryan Glass said, and other body parts were taken to a Long Beach park.

Investigators said Wozniak told them where to find the torso. A part ime actor Wozniak had performed in several productions at the theater, Everett said, but there were no plays sched- uled there the day of the slay- ing. An arm and hand were found Friday as FBI agents and police from Costa Mesa and Long Beach used cadav- er dogs to search the park, officers said. Everett said the head was the only body part missing late Friday. Victim believed to be killer Police initially believed Herr killed the 23-year-old Kibuishi, but suspicion shift- ed to Wozniak after collect- ing evidence and talking to Wozniak.

He was arrested Wednesday at a Huntington Beach restaurant. Herr and Wozniak were neighbors in an apartment complex in Costa Mesa. Wozniak lived on the first floor and Herr on the fourth and they had known each other several months, Ever- ett said. Police said they went to the theater at the training base the afternoon of May 21 and Wozniak may have planned to rob Herr. Herr and Kibuishi were students at Orange Coast College, Everett said.

They did not appear to be more than friends, though they met on a social-networking site, he said. The only motive seems to be financial, Everett said. Police detained a 17-year- old boy after he withdrew nearly $2,000 from bank account, Glass said. The teenager told police he was making the withdraw- als for Wozniak. Noah Buffett, 28, of Long Beach and broth- er, Timothy Wozniak, were arrested for investigation of being accessories after the fact.

Neighbor beheaded and his friend killed Planes, ship to take data from land, sea and air for analysis BY JOHN ANTCZAK The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Instru- ment-laden aircraft and a re- search ship equipped to sniff the atmosphere and ocean have joined land-based moni- toring stations in a huge field study of air pollution and cli- mate change in California. The goal of the $20 million state and federal project is to understand the origin of pol- lutants and greenhouse gas- es, where they go and what becomes of them as an inte- grated air quality and cli- mate change issue. chemicals that change climate are also air pollutants and the chemistry that makes them are the same, and the atmosphere care which issue we are dealing said A.R. Ravishankara, chemical sci- ences director at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad- Earth System Research Laboratory. Called CalNex shorthand for the nexus between air quality and climate the study is using about $15 mil- lion worth of hardware and expertise from NOAA and $5 million from the state, said the California Air Resources Board.

CalNex project is kind of a pollution equivalent of a D-Day cam- paign by land, air and said board Chairman Mary D. Nichols. Years in planning, the ef- fort is using a four-engine NOAA WP-3D Orion aircraft best known as a cane three smaller twin-engine planes and the 274-foot research vessel Atlan- tis from Woods Hole Oceano- graphic Institute in Massa- chusetts. Two land-based for air monitoring have been set up at the Cali- fornia Institute of Technolo- gy in Pasadena and at Arvin in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley. a humongous amount of expertise and instrumenta- tion that have been brought to a focus on Rav- ishankara said in an inter- view in the Port of Los Ange- les, where Atlantis was about to set out to sea for a run up the coast to work in San Fran- cisco Bay and along Northern California.

Hundreds of ships Atlantis has been outfitted with an air intake snout on a boom near the bow that feeds samples of the atmosphere to equipment-jammed laborato- ries in cargo-style contain- ers. A float device with an aer- ator can be lowered over the side to capture minute parti- cles released into the atmo- sphere as bubbles break, sim- ulating what happens natu- rally all over the world every time the wind whips up a whitecap or a wave breaks. The scientists have worked off Southern Califor- nia and in the port for two weeks, sometimes with the WP-3D, said the chief scien- tist, Patricia A. Quinn of Pacific Marine Envi- ronmental Laboratory. Emissions from more than 300 ships have been mea- sured.

In one study, the WP-3D sampled emissions from an arriving ship while it was well out at sea then again after it switched to low-sulfur fuel within 25 miles of the port, Quinn said. Another study looked at how pollutants get mixed with clouds and affect their lifetime and extent. Instru- ments looked up at the clouds from the surface while the air- craft flew below, through and above them. also been really for- tunate in seeing several in- stances of outflow at night- time as the pollutants come offshore, mix with the ma- rine air and get transformed into something different and then pushed back on Quinn said. The air board believes the data will help it evalu- ate emission trends and devel- op methods to evaluate the ef- fectiveness of strategies as it seeks to comply with federal clean air standards.

Nichols cited examples of questions facing the agency. need to know why some of the measures been taking to reduce ground- level ozone working as well in the San Joaquin Val- ley as well as they do in Los she said. looking for ways to actually verify that the forests that trying to set aside to off- set industrial greenhouse gas emissions really are captur- ing and storing carbon as THE NEW YORK TIMES OAKLAND Jimmy Hof- fa would be stoked. In what cannabis fans were calling a high-water mark for their movement to legitimize the drug, about 100 employees of med- ical marijuana businesses in Oakland were welcomed to the ranks of unionized workers Friday after vot- ing to join the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 5. The move, which union officials said was the first time medical marijuana employees had been so rep- resented, was hailed by the leadership, who called their new members is a natural for said Ron Lind, president of Local 5, whose 26,000 other members work primarily in grocery and meat indus- tries.

Lee said his employees were offered health bene- fits and paid vacation, but that the union imprimatur was an important mile- stone in the battle to bring marijuana into the main- stream. one more step to- wards ending federal re- said Lee, a lead- ing proponent of a Novem- ber ballot measure that would legalize, regulate and tax the drug in Califor- nia.
