COVER STORY

" TIGER IN THE REDWOODS" Stories by Jim Hight and Tim Martin
Local golf courses have given birth to one national champion -- Arcata's Chris Johnson -- and may have another on the way.

SPECIAL REPORT

"HEART TROUBLES AT ST. JOE" by Judy Hodgson
"... Just three months and 40 operations into the [St. Joseph Heart Institute] program -- heart procedures were suspended pending a review by the hospital, the state, and, at the request of the hospital, the American Society of Thoracic Surgeons. ..."

PEOPLE

"A GATHERING OF MEN"by George Ringwald
The Promise Keepers "gathered nearly 3,000 strong late in July at Humboldt State University's Redwood Bowl to celebrate their manly godliness with Jesus Christ. ... What the Promise Keepers want ... is to get men back into the Christian fold."

PERSPECTIVE

"BUT SEBASTIAN, YOU CAN'T MARRY HARRY"by Wally Graves
Wally Graves on domestic partnership

GUEST OPINION

"THOSE DISAPPEARING TIMBER JOBS"by Jerry Partain
"The next time someone tells you that timber job losses were due to technology and other changes in the industry -- not environmental protection -- ask them how you can take millions of acres of timber land out of production without reducing the number of people turning those natural resources into lumber?"

COLUMNS

GARDEN
"GULLIVER'S GARDEN" by Terry Kramer

"When 14-year-old Davis Priestley got bored with his idle summer afternoons, he decided to become the Gulliver of landscape architects and build a miniature garden with tiny trees, a pocket pond and a Lilliputian buddha."

FOOD
"SAVORY HARVEST TARTS" by Betty Thompson

"This month's recipes make use of tomatoes and other fall vegetables prepared in three different pastry containers: a flaky, nut-filled pie crust; a crisp, quick biscuit shell; and a tender yeast-bread tray."
