Editor’s note: When you’re driving, biking or walking around in downtown Ukiah do you often look over at a storefront and say to yourself “Gee, I didn’t know that was there.” Well, so do we. So we thought we’d start a kind of business census by photographing and identifying downtown businesses block by block, week to week, here on the Commerce Page. It's nothing fancy, just a quick look at what’s there. Of course it will take us some time to go through State, School and Main streets and then up and down Perkins, Gobbi and other streets. And that's just within the city limits. But we figure, like painting the Golden Gate Bridge, when we’re done, we’ll just have to start over. We hope you’ll enjoy discovering what’s out there.

Meadows, 468-3526 The Ukiah Daily Journal [email protected] Letters from our readers Sweet land of liberty Even small items can be misleading To the Editor: An Open Letter to Ellegirl Magazine: NAT HENTOFF I live in Ukiah, a small town in Northern California, and have an 11-year old daughter who has a subscription to Ellegirl magazine. Two events which hap- pened last week have led me to write to you.

By CONNOR ENNIS The Associated Press TURIN, Italy — Bode Miller reached up with a fin- ger to scratch his temple, set- ting off a flurry of shutter clicks. On a day when the outspo- ken skier was flanked by five of his U.S. Alpine teammates at a news conference, that lit- tle moment illustrated just how much focus is on Miller heading into the Turin Olympics. “It’s to be expected,” Ted Ligety said. “If you’re the best, you deserve the most attention for what you’re doing.” Miller didn’t say anything Tuesday that he hasn’t said before: He believes athletes are punished for speaking their minds; one of the reasons he won’t be staying at the ath- letes’ village at the Olympics is he doesn’t think it’s a “healthy living environment”; and he’s got mixed feelings regarding the U.S. Ski and Snowboard team’s motto of “Best in the World!” But he was undoubtedly himself, something that has won him plenty of admirers — and more than his share of criticism over the past year. His comments disparaging anti-doping regulations creat- ed a stir earlier this season, but he became the focus of con- troversy after a “60 Minutes” interview in which he said “if you ever tried to ski when you’re wasted, it’s not easy.” ANG Newspapers And last month, he suggest- Olympic skier Bode Miller is the center of attention for the United States team at the Turin Winter Games. ed in an interview with Rolling Stone that Barry Daron Rahlves, Marco “Glad you guys are willing mately, is who’s going to be that his performance has been izing the motto as a “clever Bonds and Lance Armstrong Sullivan, Scott Macartney and to mix up the questions,” skiing faster.” disappointing. marketing twist.” took performance-enhancing Steve Nyman.
