CAM.PJUGN '88 - 1'l''-- ~awyers line up on Judge race By Dale Vargas ...., o &:;L Hee Stall Write r .:--1 :.,':.) Across II Street lrom the Sacra- mento County Cour thouse, otrice windows hold up Hake-for.Judge signs Inside the bail-bond and small law-school offi ces are people sup• porting Municipal Court Judge Ken• neth L. Hake, who hopes to be elected lo the Superior Cnurt next Tuesday. On the same block are the law of- .fices of Michael Sands, a prominent , trial attorney who hopes t.:, beat Hake in his bid for the higher bench. The only contested local judicial race this year boils down lo u batlle ~etween a low-key former prosecu• tor and a politically savvy, veteran defense attorney. Like most Judicial races, the Sands-Hake contest 1s not a question of controversial issues or a matt e, for mud slinging. Bui there is a lot or strong talk about who's backing the -1;arididates. , "Each candidate insists that h1s backers are a better gauge of how good a judge he would be. Each also suggesls lhut his opponent's backers could create conflicts 1or a judge. Sands has noticed the Hake cam- paign signs and the judge's backers. "Tljey surround me here," he said during an interview in his third•floor office that overlooks the courthouse. · But he welcomes the oppos11ion, he said. · "The strongest thing I have going for me is my supporters," he said. ''The second strongest thing is Hake's supporters." Sands, whose lisl of campaign con- tributors reads like a Who's Who of Sacramento lawyers, claims en- dorsements from 40 judges in Sacra• rncnto and surrounding counties. He h

I think judges should have total independence." lie sa id a judge who receives mon- ey from lawyers during a campa ign cou ld end up in an awkward position when th0,e attorneys show up be- fore his bench. A judge, he suid, must avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Sands counters that the same could be said tor endorsements by district attorneys or law.enforce- ment officials. Both agree that a judge should al• ways be impartial, regardless of campaign backers. Sands, a former president of the local bar association, claims that lawyers and judges are the best ba• rorneters in the race, because the public will turn to the legal commu- nity for guidance on election day. At a recent debate sponsored by the Leao"e of Women Voters, Hake disp .. ,t!d that notion, saying it is his supporters - district attorneys, pro- bation officers, bailiffs - "who truly work 1n the courts every day." In campaign disclosure state- ments filed last week with the coun• ty registrar or voters, Hake reported .i lotal of $31,135 in contributions, in• clucli11g several from bail-bond and related businesses. lie also received I contributions from a few attorneys and two judges, including Sacrarnen- o unictpai Courl Judge John V. ~1roud, Hake, who entered the race at the last minute, said one ot the reasons he did n ,t become a candidate earli- er was bl•cause Stroud was consider- ing runni 1g and lluke did not want to challenge a fellow judge. Sands J1d Hake are. battling for the seat acatect by retired Judge Lloyd A. Fhillips. Two other Munici- pal Court Judges, John V. "Jack" Sa- punor and Gary E. Ransom, are run- ning unopposed for two other open Superior Court spots. Anolher reason Hake decided to challenge Sands, he said, was be- cause "I don't think anyone shou ld walk m off the slreet and buy a sea t on the bench."

Sands, a former two-term c ity councilman, has hired Townsend & Co., a well known political manage. rnent firm. His disclosure statement reported $97,600 in contributions. The lion's share or his financial sup- port was from lawyers in Sacramen- to and other areas. Among his con- tributors were a handful of Sacramento judges. a state appellale justice and judges from nearby coun- ties. He also received con tributi ons from lobbyists and the campa ign funds of other politicians, including Boll Matsui for Congress, Friends of PhilliJ? Isenberg and Friends and Neighbors of L.!Qyd Connelly. Sands has already spent $78,950, including $28,000 on television ad- vertising. Hake, whose political machine consists of volunteers, has sp~nt a to• tal of $6,812. He is familiar with Sands' cam- paign literature, he said, because he is on the campaign's mailing list - something he laughingly referred to as a waste of postage. His campaign is not as slick or full -force, he said , because "that's not my style.", Instead. he said, he is banking on his record on the bench. "If the peo- ple like what I've done, they can ele- vate me, as opposed to going wilh a wing and a prayer." Sands said Ihat Hake has chosen a low-key approach because "the low• er profile he keeps, the better. He simply doesn't belong in th e race." Sands, who boasted that he has the

vot e of anyone who knows both can- didates, said he is worried that some voters may see only that Hake is al- ready a judge. "(With) anybody who knows the two of us, I have no problem," said Sands. "But there are hundreds of thousands (of voters in the county) who think he is an incumbent." Hake, who was elected 10 the low. er bench.in 1984, is listed as a Muni c• ipal Court judge on the ballot. Said Hake: "Thul's what I

The Congregation of the Missionaries of Charity was rec·ognized by the Vatican m 1965. Since the~ it _has ~x- panded its ministry to more than 30 countries !n Asia, ustralia, Africa, Latin America, Central America, Eu- rope and North America. Mother Teresa whose motto is "Let everything I do be something beautiful for God," founded the Missionary Brothers of Charity, a men's order, in 1~3. The Co-"."7or~- e were affiliated with the Missionaries of Chanty m 1969. Figueredo said Mother Teresa's operation has mirnmal orP.rhead no bureaucracy and no organized fund raising. "She ~ys she depends on God totally because God's response to her needs is the only way she knows she's doing his will," Figueredo said. She said Mother Teresa takes her work seriously, though not grimly. "One thing that's apparent 1f you're with her any length of time is that she laughs a lot," Figueredo said. "She's smiling most of the time. She's a genuinely joyous person, and she says that it's very important for people dealing with the poor and forlorn and the destitute do so with a smile. "She says 'They have troubles enough. They don'y_ t need us to go around with long faces.' " -- -

They are among a growing stream of vol- unteers heading out from the United States to SJ)fnd 27 months m Africa, Asia or Latin America to teach, help build roads, bridges and schools, and share farming and health knowledge. "They are showing the real face of Ameri- ca to the rest of the world,'" said Peace Corps Director Loret Miller Ruppe, who made a recent recru hn swrng through California, including a stop at UCSD. ''These are not the faces of 'Dallas,' 'Dynas- ty' and 'Miami Vice,' that many people in the developing world have the misfortune to see on telcvi ion," she said. they are the faces of real peopl giving real help to people who have real need.

them is fluent. The Peace Corps gives them some language training. All the USD students share an eager antici- pation of the two years ahead. "I have come lo believe in myself these past four years, and I know I can make a small but real contribution in Africa," said Lonnecker, an English major. "I'J_l teac~ English and math and the joy of learrung. I Just can't wait to get there," said Wmters, the only student in the past six years to graduate from USD with the major of non- Western studies. "For the first time, I will be a minority " said Herz, a psychology graduate. "I will be bfonde and blue-eyed in a country where that will stand out as being different. I'm looking forward to how it will feel and how I will handle it," she said. They know life will be different "We won't miss television or the tele- phone," said Lonnecker. "I can't wait to get out of shoes w_ith heels and be able to get up and put my hair m a pony tail - for that kind of simplicity to life." Carlson looks forward to "Being able to ~urp and not be embarrassed, and to not hav- mg to shave my legs." "But I'll miss Mexican food " said Winters "And Slurpees," added Loon'ecker. · Bugs, sn_akes, strange food, poor drinking water and madequate sanitation facilities are some of the other things they know they may have to face. Insects are often a real part of the diet they realize. ' "My ~ecruiter told of teaching people to make pizza. But there was no pepperoni, so

"But today, both the corps and the volun- teers we take are much more targeted. They ~ave practical skil~ - they can teach Eng- lish and ~athematJcs, they know something of gardenmg. or forestry, and they can bring some begmnmg knowledge of sanitation or co~truction to people in foreign lands," she said. The Congress has ordered the Peace Corps lo expand its annual recruitment of 3,200 vol- unteers to about 5,000, and will increase its $145 million annual budget by $10 million a year to do it. The goal is to have 10 000 volun- teers on the job each year starting 0 in 1992. Even though the push 1s on, an official esti- mates half of the applicants will be rejected because they don't have usable skills. Not only college students are joining. the recent applications show. In 1962, 7.8 percent of the volunteers were ~tween 31 and 52 years of age. That has mcreased to 14 percent today. In the ranks of those 50 years of age and over, the numbers have swelled from 3 per- cent_ in 1962 to almost 10 percent today, ac- cordmg to records in Los Angeles. Volunteers receive a living allowance plus a modest amount of spending money that is based on the economy of the country in which they serve. At the end of their term they get a lump sum of $140 for each month of service. Since the 1960s, the U.S. has sent 125 000 Peace Corps volunteers into 65 diffe;ent countries. Through the years, volunteers have had to deal with 200 different languages. . The USO students will be in French-speak- mg areas, a language in which only one of

they used dried termites, which are apparent- ly quite tasty . . I can't believe I just said that," said Carlson. "But people who have already been have stressed how well the Peace Corps looks after us. I see that as a challenge rather than some- thing to be concerned about," said Herz. All five share a common view of their new roles. "Its not our place to go there and tell them they are doing it wrong. We get to know their culture and see how we can help them im- prove their own lives," said Carlson. The goal of a volunteer is to see a need, then show the local people how to meet that need. There is a lot of self-motivation. No- body gives you a job to do; you look around, see what needs doing, then go do it. they said. "When we leave, we should be out of a job. We should have trained others to have the ~owledge that we take there to solve any given problem," said Winters. What do parents and friends think? All are generally supportivf, but parents often worry about their safety, the five agreed. And without exception, volunteering and helping others have been part of each of their Iives since long before college, they said. "My family just recognizes that it is part of my nature," said Carlson. . "My brot~er 1s going to law school, my sister lo busmess school, and I am going offto hold back the Sahara with a few trees. But this may be the only time in my life that I will be free of ties and responsibilities and I can't let this time go by," she said.
