Until mid-May, visitors to
MacKerricher State Park will
encounter a barrier cable and
signs east of the harbor seal
rookery north of the main
MacKerricher Beach during the
pupping season. The barrier and
signs were installed by
MacKerricher and Marine Mammal
Center volunteers. Because seals
give birth on an open beach, the
newborn pups are extremely
sensitive to intrusion by people
and dogs. No dogs are allowed in
the vicinity of the rookery.

The Daily Journal "Greater Tuna" opens at the Ukiah Playhouse on March 15 and plays through April 7. "Greater Tuna is the hilarious comedy about Texas' third smallest town, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. The eclectic citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only two performers, making this satire on life in rural America even more delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna -- men, women, children and animals. ...
Special for the Journal A hop and a jump from Ukiah resides long-suffering and much maligned Clear Lake, one of the most interesting bodies of water in North America, perhaps in the world. Just the fact that Clear Lake has rested in the ample lap of what we now call Lake County for at least a million years is astonishing. Most lakes would have long since succumbed to silt and become a wetlands or a meadow. ...
Discover, digitize and restore your photographs before it's too late It was a casual conversation between a man and his son-in-law in Dallas months ago that lead to the discovery of unstudied footage of the day that John F. Kennedy, Jr. was assassinated. Amateur photographer George Jefferies casually mentioned that he was in Dallas on the day JFK was shot and that he had recorded 8mm footage of the parade which took place over 40 years ago.

Cash cow California might get some money back The next Gold Rush is on. All across America, as politicians head into the setup year for the 2008 presidential election, candidates are singing "California, Here I Come," and jumping aboard airplanes headed for the Golden State. As always, this state is the cash cow of American politics. It's not just presidential hopefuls who extract wads of money out of Californians, but candidates for the House and Senate, too.

Looking for whales in Mendocino
Two gray whales played just offshore on Saturday, oblivious to the distant blur of a crowd of two dozen tourists on the Mendocino Headlands. The pair spouted two silvery streams, arched flukes gracefully out of the water and dove for a mouthful of marine-life enriched mud. "I saw a fluke," said a distant voice on shore, from the Ford House tour group. Full Story

Stevenswood Resort and
SPA is major retreat to luxury
Local
Restaurants Boycott Canadian Fish
 Wine
being aged in Mendocino Redwood kegs
There is more Mendocino than just a
romantic weekend. Sure we're known for our upscale bed and breakfasts and
fine dinning, and wines,
but with our year-round events, live theater performances, and
popular music venues we have something for just about everyone.
Getting there is half the fun: Mendocino is a four- to six-hour drive to the
north from San Francisco,
depending on traffic. Take Highway 101 to Cloverdale. Then pick up Highway 128
to the northwest.
Where to stay:
The village of Mendocino has many bed-and-breakfast inns in historic houses,
as well as the Mendocino Hotel. Larger inns and lodgings are outside of the
Historic Preservation District; you can find those accommodations to the south
and also north to Fort Bragg.
Stevenswood Lodge offers a change of pace with modern architecture,
understated blond wood furniture and a wooded setting south of town.
Accommodations, numbering 10, run from standard rooms to spacious suites. Room
rates begin at $125 and include a full breakfast. (800) 421-2810, www.stevenswood.com.
Joshua Grindle Inn, the only four-star lodging in the village, has 10
rooms. Five are in the main house and the remainder in cottages and the water
tower. Excellence lies in the details -- delicious cookies when you're hungry, a
little plastic bag so you can take home the Swiss-milled soap. December packages
include shop coupons and wrapping supplies. Rates begin at $139 with full
breakfast. (800) GRINDLE, (707) 937-4143, www.joshgrin.com.
At Agate Cove Inn, the cottages bear the names of jewels -- Emerald,
Topaz, Jasper, Garnet and Moonstone. It's situated on a bluff above Agate Cove
just north of the historic district. Two rooms are in an 1860 farmhouse and the
others are single or duplex cottages. A full country breakfast is served each
morning, and may be cooked on a wood-burning Belleville stove. Most rooms have
fireplaces and spectacular ocean views. Rates begin at $139 with full breakfast.
(800) 527-3111, www.agatecove.com.
Sea Rock Bed & Breakfast Inn has binoculars and a telescope at the
breakfast room windows, the better to view the whales that might be passing in
the ocean beyond the cliff. Come sunset, guests can watch the spectacle from
their decks and then snuggle up beside the fireplace in each room. Most unusual
are the sculptural log footrests made by innkeeper Andy Plocher. Rates begin at
$179, with discounts when booking online. (800) 906-0926, www.searock.com.
The MacCallum House Inn is the yellow Victorian with a blue widow's
walk perched on a rise just behind Main Street. It's by far Mendocino's most
elaborate Victorian. It's also more than meets the eye. The inn includes
cottages, a barn and water tower rooms, as well as a complex of suites and some
cottages off property. Room rates begin at $135 and include breakfast. (800)
609-0492, www.maccallumhouse.com.
The Little River Inn, in the hamlet of Little River just south of
Mendocino, is one of the area's oldest accommodations. It started in 1939 in
Cora Coombs' family Victorian farmhouse that was built in the 1850s. Owned by
her descendants, it boasts 67 rooms in nine buildings, a golf course, tennis
courts and a day spa. Rooms vary considerably from small farmhouse rooms to
luxury suites. Rates begin at $110. (888) 466-5683, www.littleriverinn.com.
Where to eat:
Stevenswood's restaurant rates high as a local dining destination.
Award-winning chef Ira Mittleman conjures up culinary treats. At dinner the local steelhead arrives in an aquavit-cured gravlax tart,
nestled on caramelized onion rings alongside wafer-sliced cucumber discs. A
Mozzarella-prosciutto roulade joins heirloom tomatoes in a balsamic reduction
for another taste-tingling first course. Bouillabaisse features a brimming soup
bowl of scallops, shrimp, mussels, clams, and lobster claw in a Pernod-infused
tomato fumй. The osso bucco of lamb order brings a huge crusty shank with
rosemary-scented bread pudding and oven-roasted vegetables."
"The desserts dazzle. Be sure and try Ira's world famous KeyLime
Pie. A martini glass brims with zabaglione and summer berries and a lemon tuille
shatters with each biteful. And if you have a passion for home-made ice cream
and sorbet, out comes a platter-size serving with six scoops of intense
flavors-strawberry, plaintain, black walnut, espresso, fig/blueberry, and mint
granite. California wines by the glass and the bottle compose a fine spectrum.
The award winning wine list offers a perfect pairing to the selection of fine
foods."
lacquered
Alaskan halibut with an Asian noodle cake and a memorable duck prepared two ways
with Black Mission fig glaze. (800) 421-2810. www.stevenswood.com.
Cafe Beaujolais, Mendocino's most famous restaurant, is closed for a
winter break until Feb. 6.
We had dinner at Moosse Café, where a bowl of roasted eggplant soup
and a cured pork chop warmed us to the core on a cold night. It's on the ground
floor of the Blue Heron Inn in a room of Zen-like simplicity. (707) 937-4323, www.theblueheron.com.
The first floor of MacCallum House houses the well-known Grey Whale Bar
& Café, where the ingredient-driven cuisine changes seasonally and is
identified by the grower or producer on the menu. The olive oil tasting on the
appetizer list will please foodies. (800) 609-0492.
At the Little River Inn, the restaurant offers Dungeness crab in cakes
or in sauce over linguine, as well as other perennial favorites, such as Caesar
salad and roasted double-cut pork chops. (888) 466-5683.
