An audit o f TuolumneUtilities D ist r ict f i nancesfor the fiscal year endingJune 30 found TUD's finan­cial statements, changes infinancial position and cashflows to be "clean" with "nomaterial weaknesses," anindependent auditor fromSacramento told the TUDboard of directors Tuesdayevening.

Ingrid Sheipline, of Rich­ardson and Co., emphasizedin her report that TUD,like all other local agenciesstatewide, this year was re­quired to include in finan­cial statements its unfundedpension liabilities, which forTUD total $7.8 million forfiscal year 2014-15.

In addition, Sheipline not­ed that TUD's net positionon June 30 was$8.9 millionand 13 percent lower thanJune 30, 2014. District rev­enues were $576,894 and 4percent lower for the sametime frame.

In her recommendations,Sheipline noted that TUD'slimited accounting staff donot allow work tasks to besegregated as much as de­sired. Though the districthas "compensating controlsin place to help reduce therisk," she r ecommendedTUD continue evaluating ifmore segregation of dutiescan be achieved.

Sheipline a lso r ecom­mended the district updatepolicies for purchasing, cred­it cards and investments be­cause current policies areoutdated, and that TUDadopt an anti-retaliation/whistleblower policy, withfraud reporting procedures,to be included in the districtpersonnel manual.

Sheipline agreed wi thTUD management when shenoted drought has continuedto impact district revenuesand operational expensesare increasing. She noted

Calaveras Community Foundation OBITUARIESGrants awarded to Butte Fire victimsThe Union DemocratBy JASON COWAN

Chyrl Hillis said the stress was un­believable.

In addition to her home in AngelsCamp being under evacuation ad­visory from the Butte Fire, Hillis, amember of Calaveras CommunityFoundation's Publicity, Grants andWebsite committees, had temporar­ily inherited the treasury duties ofthe group's disaster relief fund whileBrent Harrington was out of town.

Since the fund was established inthe second week of September, thenonprofit organization — which rais­es money to give grants for local, fea­sible causes — has received, almostroutinely, between 15 and 20 lettersa day with donations ranging any­where from $2 to $25,000. During anormal week — pre-Butte Fire — thefoundation would typically receivefour or five letters within a seven dayperiod.

"The amount of time I had to spendat the office processing the checksand answering emails and sendingemails back was a lot more than Iever thought it would be," said Hillis."One day, I spent four hours in theoffice, just doing that. (Normally) Icould be back home in half an hour."The foundation on Oct. 16 began

distributing the donations to vari­ous groups within the county. Thoughregulations restrict the foundationfrom providing gifts to individuals,

the foundation has donated $100,000to eight groups in Calaveras County.

Among the groups that received do­nations were Mountain Ranch ReliefFund, Calaveras Grown, CalaverasFire and Rescue District, CommonGround Senior Services, Friends ofthe Rail Road Flat Schools, CalaverasHumane Society — Butte Fire Vet As­sistance Fund, The Resource Con­nection and t h e S a lvat ion A r my,Calaveras County Unit

"The way the process worked wasthat all of our board members wereout beating the streets," said Hillis. "Ifwe came across what we consideredto be a viable project, we had themsubmit an application — a one-pageemail, even, because at that point wedidn't have a form to document whatthey were planning on doing."

As of Oct. 16, donations had ex­ceeded $150,000. By the followingTuesday the amount had risen past$200,000.

"We are still in shock," said Hillis."We' re out there every day listen­ing and looking and trying to learnand talking to people. And that hasincreased our visibility and our cred­

"We are still in shock. We' re out there every day listening and lookingand trying to learn and talking to people. And that has increased ourvisibility and our credibility, andit's all very good."

foundation has received requestsfrom 15 applicants, and the founda­tion thoroughly evaluates each cause.

"We do a lot of one-on-one ques­tioning for one thing," said Hillis."Our treasurer pretty much took thatresponsibility on his shoulders andwent out on the streets to ask peoplewhat they' re going to do, if they havea program in mind ... what aboutthis, what about that."

However, the process does not justend once the grants are made. Hillissaid that within six months the foun­dation wants each of the eight groupsto report back with its progress, whati t would do differently and if themoney was enough.

"If we think that the group did ab­solutely what they proposed to beginwith and they come through with theaccountability and it seems viableand we can see that if they had moremoney they can expand that andtouch more lives, then that's what wewould use as a guideline," said Hillis."We wanted to get these first checkswritten."

USS LassenchallengesChinese islandImperialism

I' Nt,usT

YRVYR'.

On Oct. 26 East Asia watched with great inter­est as a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer, USSLassen, patrolled disputed waters in the SouthChina Sea.

The Lassen's 72-mile cruise was a calculatedand overdue act of muscular diplomacy intendedto warn China that its destabilizing South ChinaSea territorial expansion policy will not be toler­ated by the U.S. and its Asian allies.

U.S. aircraft monitored Lassen's voyage. TwoChinese naval vessels (the missile destroyerLanzhou and patrol boat Taizhou) shadowed theAmerican ship. When Lassen slipped within 12nautical miles of the Chinese installation on SubiReef (Spratly Islands), Chinese officers warnedthe U.S. vessel that it had violated Chinese ter­ritorial waters.

Diplomats quickly turned up the rhetoricalheat. China called Lassen's cruise a "deliberateprovocation." Its Foreign Ministry summoned theU.S. ambassador to China and told him Americamust quit "threatening Chinese sovereignty andsecurity interests ..."

Provocation, however, is Beijing's game. Chinaclaims most of the South China Sea, though itsclaims are far weaker than those of Vietnam, thePhilippines and Malaysia.

However, China intends to make its claims con­crete, literally. China takes what geographers call"sea features" (eg., submerged reefs or rocks). Fea­tures don't rate as territory, not according to tradi­tional maritime law or the U.N. Convention on theLaw of the Sea.

Law does not deter China's maritime imperial­ists. Beijing dispatches construction crews, whichadd acres of concrete braced by steel. The featuresare transformed into artificial islets large enoughto support airfields for combat aircraft as well ashangars and warehouses.

Now comes the map re-maker's coup de grace:Beijing diplomats declare the manufactured is­lets to be sovereign Chinese land complete with12 miles of territorial water. Sorry world, you can' tsail through here without Beijing's permission.

This pile of concrete is as much China as Shang­hai.

The U.S. disagrees. So do China's SoutheastAsian neighbors, with the kowtowing exception ofCambodia, hence Lassen's Freedom of NavigationOperation, a FONOP in Pentagonese.

The USN FONOPS demonstrate by presenceand action U.S. commitment to freedom of naviga­tion. It has long been American policy to activelyoppose maritime territorial claims, which intrudeon recognized international shipping lanes. In2014 the U.S. challenged 19 such claims by six dif­ferent countries — China, Iran, Argentina, Brazil,Venezuela and (ironically) the Philippines.

Manila did not object to Lassen's FONOP. Chi­na's island construction program has encroachedon Vietnamese and Filipino territory. China canbully Vietnam and the Philippines, but the U.S. isa much stronger opponent. Manila has encouragedUS action in the region.

In May 2014 China and Vietnam squared offover a Chinese oil-drilling project in Vietnamesewaters. Vietnam saw the expedition as anothersmall step toward extending Chinese sovereigntyto the "nine-dash line." The nine-dash line mari­time boundary China claims includes most of theSouth China Sea. It dips south for hundreds of ki­lometers from China's southern coast to near theisland of Borneo.

Four or five years ago the U.S. began telling Chi­na, softly, that its island adventures had gone toofar. China paid no heed. In May 2015, at a defenseconference in Singapore, U.S. Secretary of DefenseAshton Carter said that China's expansionarypolicy would have consequences. The region's se­curity architecture "must respect rights, and notjust might ..."

China claimed Carter's comments were provoca­tive. In September 2015 President Barack Obamamet informally with Chinese President Xi Jinping,and China's South China Sea shenanigans werediscussed. Xi apparently rejected Obama's bid tofind a diplomatic solution.

Now the Lassen has sailed. Following the voy­age, the Pentagon announced that the U.S. Navywould conduct similar patrols in the area.

Protest TUD rate increase

Here's the setup. Hillary Clinton hasbeen pointing out that her opponent BernieSanders, the darling of the leR, has actuallyopposed gun control. I' ve been pointing thatsame fact out to folks for some time, and it' squite compelling. It's clearly had an effecton polls.

It's apparent that Sen. Sanders is feelingthe heat. His recent response was to criti­cize Clinton for "shouting" about guns.

Presidential politics are never easy. Andwith his remark, Sanders fed a softball overhome plate to an experienced politician. Asshe has done repeatedly over the last twoweeks, Hillary Clinton showed what a for­midable candidate she is.

"I'm not shouting," Clinton replied calm­ly. "It's just that when women talk, somepeople think we' re shouting."

Show me a successful woman over 40,and I bet you dollars to donuts she's "dif­ficult" — at least according to some of thosewho work with and for her. I wager almostevery woman has been told, while standingup for herself, to keep her voice down — byher boss or co-workers, her boyfriend orhusband, or all of the above. In other words,lots of women could connect with whatClinton was saying. It was a reminder ofthe historic nature of this election. It will bethe first (knock on wood) in which a womanis a major party's nominee for president.

And by the way, have I mentioned that

To the Editor:I question the proposed water rate in­

creases. Historical rates likely includedmoney to maintain the water system. DidTUD use some of this maintenance moneyfor non-maintenance work? If so, then it' snot fair to ask the customers to pay backthis money. What protection do we havethe undisclosed maintenance portion of theproposed rate increase will be spent only onmaintenance?

Why did TUD acquire the facilities ofother water agencies if they required sig­nificant repairs? The people served bythose former agencies should pay a great­er percentage of the upgrade cost if theyweren't previously paying for adequatemaintenance.

The proposed increase in the fixedmonthly charge for a 3/4" meter tops out at77 percent (300 percent for untreated wa­ter) and the proposed increase for treatedwater tops out at 36 percent per cubic foot.These increases are on top of those passedin 2012 and 2014. The proposed increasesare so excessive that I have to question theability of TUD to manage the District un­less recent laws are forcing TUD to makeimmediate and costly upgrades that man­agement could not have reasonably fore­

Hillary Clinton plays the gender cardSusanEstrich

Bernie Sanders is against gun control?Meanwhile, in an ironic twist, Vice Presi­

dent Biden's decision not to run seems tohave sealed Sanders' fate, politically speak­ing. Conventionally, you'd think that Sand­ers would be better off with Biden out,leaving Sanders as the only alternative toClinton. But it isn't working that way, norshould one it expect it to now. With Bidenin the race, Sanders would have had twojuicy targets who are emblems of a moremoderate Democratic party, a nominationthat would be viewed as up-for-grabs, andthe possibility of carrying the day with 30­40 percent of the vote.

But Biden is not in the race because, ashe honestly admitted, it was too late bythe time he was ready. In other words, hecouldn't beat Clinton at this point. WithBiden's departure, sandwiched betweentwo very strong outings for Clinton (in thefirst debate, and in her marathon Benghazitestimony), the deal was sealed. You couldhear the collective sigh of relief. No morestories of donor unrest. No more chatterabout "what's wrong with her stafF." In 10days' time, the frontrunner reasserted her­

seen. As for inflation, the mailer shouldn' teven list it as a factor because it's been 0.5percent since the last rate increase and lowfor many years.

So until answers and protections areprovided, I urge all property owners andtenants within the TUD service district toget ofF their back side and mail in a pro­test letter to TUD. You only need to listyour county parcel number, state you areprotesting the proposed water and/or sew­er rate increases, and sign the letter. Theincrease cannot pass if >50 percent of theparcels within the district protest.

To the Editor:SRT does it again with another don' t­

miss-seeing production, 'The DrowsyChaperone." It is one of the funniest playsI' ve ever seen. Scott Viets is brilliant asthe Man in Chair reminiscing about thegolden age of musicals and his favorite mu­sical, 'The Drowsy Chaperone."

self, and her only plausible opponent pulled

That doesn't mean Sanders disappears.He has already had an impact on the Clin­ton campaign. He doesn't need a lot of mon­ey to stay in. And under the party rules,if he stays in, he' ll collect a proportionateshare of delegates. This will at least gethim a good speaking part and some brag­ging rights on the platform. Tad Devine, histop strategist, has been in the business ofcollecting delegates for presidential candi­dates since the 1980s, and he's as good atthis game as anyone on Clinton's side.

But with not a single vote cast, it cer­tainly feels like the race is over. And thelatest polls seem to bear that out. In Iowa,Clinton has opened up a 41-point lead overSanders in one of the polls out Tuesday. Idon't expect 41 points to hold, but I alsodon't expect Sanders to retain his supportin New Hampshire if he crashes in Iowa.Not to mention all the party leaders andelected ofFicials, automatic delegates tothe convention, who will be committing toClinton in droves in the weeks to come. Andthen the states start falling like dominos.

In the interval, for a striking contrast,turn to the Republican race.

To the Editor:Obviously 388 privately owned "rustic

vacation cabins" at Pinecrest limit publicuse of the area per se. Some current list­ings for these privately owned cabins onpublic land: $740,000, $495,000, $410,000,$399,000, $340,000, and the steal of theweek a mere $295,000. As the realtors say,it must be location, location, location. Prox­imity to the lake seems to account for theprice differences. Any wonder why cabinowners might want to further limit publicaccess? Property values don't ya know.

For cabin owners concerned by a "surgein visitors" to Pinecrest, they might takeMr. Ringen's advice and wheel their cabinselsewhere. Check out privately owned LakeOswego in Oregon; don't even dip your toesinto the water.

Bad informationon traffic amnesty

Army blimp breaksloose, drifts over PA

SACRAMENTO — Theattorney general's office iswarning Californians to be­ware of debt collectors givingmisleading information aboutthe state's new traflic fine am­nesty program.

Attorney General KamalaHarris issued a consumeralert Wednesday in responseto complaints about debt col­lectors that have contractedwith counties to collect out­standing fines.

Harris says some are failingto notify people about Califor­nia's debt amnesty programor telling eligible people theydon't qualify.

The program that beganthis month allows driverswith lesser in&actions suchas running a red light to get adiscount of 50 or 80 percent ofwhat they owe, depending ontheir incomes. It doesn't applyto parking tickets, drunken­driving or reckless-drivingviolations.

Harris recommends peoplecontact the county that issueda ticket to see if it qualifies.

MUNCY, Pa. — An un­manned Army surveillanceblimp broke loose from itsmooring in Maryland andfloated over Pennsylvania forhours Wednesday with twofighter jets on its tail, trigger­ing blackouts across the coun­tryside as it dragged its tetheracross power lines.

The bulbous, 240-foothelium-filled blimp eventu­ally came down in at least twopieces near Muncy, a smalltown about 80 miles north ofHarrisburg, as people gawkedin wonder and disbelief at thebig, white, slow-moving craR.No injuries were reported.

Fitted with sensitive de­fense technology, the radar­equipped blimp escaped fromthe military's Aberdeen Prov­ing Ground around 12:20p.m. and drifted northward,climbing to about 16,000 feet,authorities said. It coveredapproximately 150 miles overabout 3'/2 hours.

As it floated away, avia­tion officials feared it wouldendanger air traffic, and twoF-16s were scrambled from aNational Guard base in NewJersey to track it. But therewas never any intention ofshooting it down, said NavyCapt. Scott Miller, a spokes­man for the nation's air de­fense command.

Oflicials with the Na­tional Marine FisheriesService said preliminarycounts indicate that hot,shallow waters caused bythe drought killed most ofthis year's juvenile winter­run Chinook before theymade it out to the PacificOcean.

If a final count this win­ter confirms the bad news,it would mean a secondstraight summer in which5 percent or less of theyoung fish survived Cali­fornia's drought.

Since the fish spawn ona three-year cycle, the die­off would make manage­ment of next year's watercritical for the salmon'ssurvival in the wild.

The development sug­gests failure for a secondyear in a row for federalefforts to manage waterflows from Lake Shasta,a main reservoir in thestate's water system, tokeep salmon and otherspecies alive.

"Droughts are alwayshard on salmon, but wa­ter management decisionsmade it worse this year,"said John McManus, ex­ecutive director of theGolden Gate Salmon As­sociation.

The juvenile salmondepend on water tempera­tures in the mid-50s, andwere unable to survive inthe warmer temperaturesproduced by shallowerthan usual water.

BEIRUT (AP) — Iran will take partin international talks on Syria for thefirst time this week, giving it a voicein the effort to find a resolution to themore than 4-year-old civil war that hasso far defied even the slightest progresstoward peace.

A crucial backer of Syrian Presi­dent Bashar Assad, Tehran has beenshunned &om all previous talks on Syr­ia. Its inclusion now marks recognitionby the United States that no discussionon Syria's future can succeed withoutIran at the table.

News of Iran's attendance outragedSyrian rebels, who said its participationwill only prolong the conflict.

The gathering, which takes placeThursday and Friday in Vienna, willalso put Iran in the same room with itsmost bitter regional rival, Saudi Ara­bia, raising the potential for tensions.The kingdom, along with other Gulfcountries, has been funneling weaponsto rebel factions, while Iran has sent fi­

SACKQKNTO (AP) — A former leaderof the California Senate on Wednesday an­nounced his bid for mayor of Sacramento,saying he wants to build on the city's renais­

Former Senate President Pro Tem DarrellSteinberg jumped into the race to lead thestate's sixth-largest city aRer former NBAstar and current Mayor Kevin Johnson de­cided not to seek a third term.

Steinberg, 56, is a Sacramento Democratwho championed early education and men­tal health support during his 14 years in theLegislature. He served as a city councilmanbefore that.

He enters the race with name recogni­tion and a financial advantage. He has morethan $1.4 million in a candidate account forlieutenant governor, with major donations inhis final legislative session coming &om la­bor unions, trial attorneys and health caregroups.

If elected next year, Steinberg would joinother state leaders who have returned hometo be mayor, including Gov. Jerry Brown in

nancing, weapons and military advisersto ensure Assad's survival.

Iran's participation reflects its new­found place in the international com­munity following the nuclear dealreached with world powers earlier thisyear. It also shows the seismic shiftbrought about by Russia's direct mili­tary involvement in Syria since launch­ing a campaign of airstrikes on behalfof Assad last month. That interventionhas emboldened Assad's supporters.

Russia's intervention — and its insis­tence that it seeks a political solution— have created a new dynamic. Whileno one expects a breakthrough, the Vi­enna talks are the most serious attemptyet to put an end to a conflict that haskilled a quarter of a million people anddisplaced millions of others, touchingoff a humanitarian crisis of spectacularproportions and unleashing Islamic ex­tremists across the Middle East.

VIENNA — Austria, astrong critic of fences builtto cope with Europe's mi­grant influx, on Wednesdayannounced it is joining othernations that have either al­ready erected border barri­ers or are planning to do so.

Austrian Interior MinisterJohanna Mikl-Leitner insist­ed the move was aimed sole­ly at bringing order to theunrelenting influx of peopleentering the country, tell­ing parliament there wereno plans "to build a fencearound Austria."

Still the project is a majorshift for the country, whichhas preached the sanctityof unimpeded internal EUborders since the migrantcrisis intensified earlier thisyear, and Mikl-Leitner her­self used the world "fence" inearlier comments announc­ing construction plans at theborder.

It is likely to run into do­mestic and international crit­icism for the signal it sendsto other nations struggling tocope with tens of thousandsof desperate people movingthough their nations. Andit could ignite a chain reac­tion along the land routein Eastern Europe used bythose seeking a better life inprosperous European Unioncountries.

LAWSUITContinued from Page Al

Beach, San Diego County and70 filed by the Airola ButteHre Attorneys, representedby lawyers from Calaverasand Sacramento counties,that say the companies' negli­gence caused the blaze.

The daughters' lawsuit isthe only wrongful claim filedso far.

"We believe this case will bepart of the coordinated pro­ceeding," said Amanda Riddle,a lawyer representing Mathesand Karen Goldsmith. "How­

ever, because it is the only oneof its kind in that it is the onlywrongful death case, it willalways be special and distinc­tive."

Mathes said she decided topursue a lawsuit to find thetruth and expose to everyonethe circumstances as to whyhe died.

"Seeing the aftereffects, Ijust cannot imagine this hap­pening to anyone else. It's notOK that he was up there andeverything was taken &omhim," Mathes said. "Nobodyshould have to go this way. Noone."

Owen Goldsmith spent

many years of his life refin­ing his music, something thatmany close to him said washis world.

"He was an artist. He wasa brilliant musician, a com­poser," Mathes said."He was aconductor, a teacher. He was abrilliant choir teacher but hewas also a composer. He lovedclassical music."

As the years passed,correspondence be tweenMathes and her father tookthe form of letter writing,but communication taperedoff in the time leading up tohis death. The two also com­municated via phone call

every now and again.She said her father was a

private man, a bit of a loner.As he aged, he began to losehis ability to remain indepen­dent. Though Mathes saidshe could tell he needed help,he would never ask for assis­tance.

"I offered help to him, inletters regarding the prop­erty and getting older and Ithink it just made him angry,"Mathes said. "He had a lot ofpride.

Ultimately, Mathes saysOwen Goldsmith — notice­ably more immobile as an el­der — decided to stay at his

residence because his homewas his refuge and could notimagine leaving his home andlosing everythmg.

"I'm not sure he was in thebest condition to make thatdecision," Mathes said. "I'mnot sure that he wasn't some­how compromised."

Riddle said a court date hasnot been set. Her team is stillgathering information to findmore residents displaced bythe fire.

his home in Columbia."It's getting more difficult," he said

about selling paintings. "I don't thinkanyone can say why it's a struggle."

"Thmgs go in cycles, and tastesare changing with things like comiccon and digital art," Waldman said."Maybe the theater is experiencing arenaissance right now?"

Rocky Rhodes, production managerat Stage 3 Theatre company in So­nora, says new management tries topull as much of the community intoproductions as possible and regularlyhires actors from Tuolumne and Cala­veras counties as well as bringing intalent from outside the region.

An example is an upcoming produc­tion of "Almost Maine," which will fea­ture Matt Leamy, technology systemsspecialist for Sonora High School.

Leamy, a long-time contributor tothe theater, will receive a small sti­pend for the acting role, primarily tocover expenses like gas, Rhodes said.

However, some Sonora artists areable to make a living &om their work.

Peter Nordstrom, 35, of CrystalFalls, creates highly detailed, figura­tive, fantasy sculptures that last yearbrought in about $55,000 in sales. Hesells exclusively online, and is at workon more than 50 pre-orders.

His professional career started in2011, when he was subcontracted byvideo game company Bandai-Namcoto create sculptures to promote the re­lease of the 'Dark Souls" game.

The dark, often frightening figuressculpted by Nordstrom aren't whatfoothill galleries are looking for, hesaid, but a sculpture is on displayfor Halloween at Sonora Joe's CoffeeShoppe.

Josh Regalado, 28, of Sonora, per­forms as rapper Oscar Goldman. He,too, relies solely on his art to generateincome.

But the choice has come with sac­rifice.

Regalado makes $10,000 in a goodyear, spends seven months a year onthe road, and saves money on rent bystaying with friends, he said.

Regalado began performing in 2010.He quit his job reserving rooms at aYosemite vacation home two years agoto pursue music full time.

Another artist, Zac Calbert, 31, ofSonora, has found "an adult job" thatallows the printmaker and musician acreative outlet, while on salary.

Calbert is a graphic designer atFoothill Business Cards in Sonora.He plans to transform the businessinto his own design firm that willfocus on large branding and market­ing campaigns.

with Oyung who put her hand out for a hand­shake. Oyung looked at the woman and saidwith a smile, "We hug here!"

"A few people over the years of hiking havefallen and broken limbs, and Frank alwaysknew how to take care of them and made surethey got out OK," Howard said.

On one occasion, Oyung carried a 40-year­old man for part of an advanced hike, Howardsaid.

Earlier in the hot day, the man said he wassurprised by how many older people were par­ticipating in the hike, and was later the onlyone who could not keep up, Howard said.Oyung was even-tempered, a mellow and

athletic man, Howard said.Howard said he saw Oyung get angry only

once, when a woman from Stockton venturedtoo close to the edge of a waterfall. The gran­ite was slippery and the water was high, andOyung would not have been able to save herhad she fallen.

Oyung said, "Back away! Do you want todie?

Oyung was firm in his convictions and didn' toften change his mind, which could be an en­dearing quality, Howard said, and laughed.Oyung would often say, 'You have your opinionand I have mine."

He never let anything slow him down, evensome serious bicycle accidents, Maffei said.

"I can remember one year where we hiked inthe rain for 13 Thursdays straight," Howard said.

common to early print technology.He describes his work as commer­

cial art, not fine art."I' ve never wanted to be a fine art

artist. You don't hear starving artistwhen you hear commercial artist,"Calbert said. "I like comics and car­toons. So if I can get paid doing some­thing close to that ... that's the draw."

Calbert said some young MotherLode artists are "hiding behind mini­mum wage jobs, living a quiet shel­tered life doing what they don't wantto do.""I don't see a lot of those people

planning their route to success, tar­geting shows or events to have boothsat, or working the system that is outthere," Calbert said.

The system, he said, is highly con­nected to the alliance and one manyyoung artists don't fit into.

Call hopes his design for the onlinedirectory will bridge the gap, by allow­ing individual artists complete controlto add and update information.

And he may be the perfect person

Born in Grass Valley in 1931, Oyung wasa Korean War veteran. He retired from theU.S. Forest Service in San Francisco and thenmoved to Groveland in the early 1990s.

He was a volunteer for many organizationscountywide and was known for picking uptrash on all of the hikes he led, Howard said.

He was a singer for the Pine Cone Singers,member of Central Sierra Resources Conser­vation and Development Inc., member of theHighway 108 Fire Safe Council and volunteerfor the Sonora Sunrise Rotary Club, amongothers.

Oyung was also a member of the SouthPlanning Commission, back when it still ex­isted.

Oyung participated in the Orient Expresscommunity run for more than 20 years, host­ed by the Sonora Sunrise Rotary Club.

Sonora Pass, whichwinds between KennedyMeadows on t h e w e stand Leavitt Meadows onthe east, has typicallyclosed for the winter inlate November or earlyDecember, according toCaltrans' records thatdate back to the 2004-05

The earliest closurein the past 10 winterswas Oct. 17, 2004, whilethe latest was Jan. 21,2012 — the first of fourconsecutive drier-than­normal seasons.

Caltrans tries to openthe pass each year inMay prior to MemorialDay.

Heavy weather closedthe pass for a singleday earlier this month,prompting some concernfrom businesses alongHighway 108 that relyon tourism.

District 3 Su p ervi­sor Evan Royce saidhe met with area busi­ness owners, tourism­industry representativesand transportation offi­cials on Oct. 13 in ColdSprings to discuss theissues with the weather­related closures.

"A lot of the peoplewho have businesses upthere feel like it's gettingclosed prematurely," hetold the Tuolumne Coun­ty Board of Supervisorsat its Oct. 20 meeting.

Royce said the goalwas to open discussionswith local and regionalCaltrans managementstaff about the closurepohcies.

Lisa Mayo, executivedirector of the TuolumneCounty Visitors Bureau,said a follow-up meetingwith Caltrans and High­way 108 business ownersis scheduled for Friday.

"I think it's a step inthe right direction," shesaid. "They just want tounderstand the proce­dures and what consti­tutes closing the pass."

The National Oceanicand Atmospheric Admin­istration has said thepredicted El Nino thiswinter could be strongenough to rival those in1982-83 and 1997-98.

Drivers should slow down inresidential neighborhoods andobey all traffic signs and sig­nals. Drive at least 5 mph belowthe posted speed limit to allowextra time to react to childrenwho may dart into the street,AAA spokeswoman CynthiaHarris said in a statement.

Popular trick-or-treatinghours are 5:80 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.,so drivers need to be especiallyalert during those hours.

Adults should make sure to

keep children out of the street,stay on sidewalks and cross thestreet in a lit area, said SonoraPolice Chief Mark Stinson.

Nail bitingcan indicateobsessivetendencies

Mehmet Oz, M.D.,and Michael Roizen, M.D.

"World War Z" ($202 million), "WhatLies Beneath" ($155 million) and"Gremlins" ($148 million) are the all­time, top-grossing nail-biters in NorthAmerica, scaring tens of millions ofmoviegoer s.

But nail-biting isn't always so enter­taining. In fact, it's an affiiction thatmay indicate you have a conditionassociated with obsessive-compulsivedisorder that's called body-focusedrepetitive behavior or pathologicalgrooming.

Experts say nail-biting is a clue thatyou' re not handling stressful, frustrat­ing, dissatisfying or boring situationseffectively, and that you' re inclinedto create short-term, self-soothinghabits instead of discovering positiveways to make yourself feel better inthe long run. (Researchers have foundthat people do report that nail-bitingimmediately feels soothing.)

In addition, the American Academyof Dermatology warns that repeatednail-biting can harm the nail bed andlead to abnormal-looking nails. It alsocan pass bacteria and viruses fromyour mouth to your fingers, and backagain from your nails to your face andmouth.

So how can you stop? Keep a jour­nal that identifies triggers; you' llbegin to see when the urge strikes.Knowing that will help you resist.When you can't beat the urge, substi­tute squeezing a stress ball for nib­bling. Keep nails short, and considerusing a bitter-tasting nail polish tomake it unpleasant to put your fin­gernail in your mouth. Then thinkabout adopting long-term stress-bust­ers, like mindful meditation or yoga.And if you still can't beat it, cognitivebehavioral therapy or holistic psycho­therapy may be smart steps.

CHP officer Eli Dillon talks to kindergartners at Sonora Elementary School last weekabout how to be a safe pedestrian and other Halloween safety tips.

potential fire hazards.Parents need to make

sure their children's cos­tumes are made of flameretardant material, whichis written on the labels,the Cal Fire website states.Also, children should notbe allowed to carry objectsthat could injure them orothers, like sharp sticks.

People also should useLED or b a ttery-poweredlights for pumpkins, notcandles, and keep childrenaway from open flames.

People who plan to hosttrick-or-treaters should re­

move any yard hazards thatcould trip people, like gar­den tools and hoses.

Some holiday decorations,l ike cornstalks, are v eryflammable and should bekept away from heat sourc­es and shouldn't be placedblocking doors or stairs, CalFire said.

Adult safety and Tipsy Tow

Many adults will partakein Halloween festivities, of­ten with alcohol. The CHPstrongly recommends usinga designated driver.

According to the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Ad­ministration, between 2009and 2013, 43 percent of alltraffic fatalities on Hallow­een night involved an im­paired driver. In 2013 alone,26 percent of all pedestrianfatalities on Ha l loweennight involved an impaireddriver.

Party hosts need to beready with non-alcoholicdrinks, food and the respon­sibility to make sure theirguests get home safely, theCHP said in a statement.

AAA's Tipsy Tow Pro­gram will offer a free towfor drinking drivers from6 p.m. Saturday to 6 a.m.Sunday. Members andnon-members alike cancall 800-222-4357 (AAA­HELP) for a free tow of upto 10 miles.

"Just tell the AAA op­erator, 'I need a Tipsy Tow,'and a truck will be on itsway," Harris said. "Serviceis restricted to a one-wayride for the driver and hisor her vehicle to the driv­er's home."

found that in more than 7out of 10 cases, the personalso has to deal with symp­toms of depression, such ashopelessness, feelings of fail­ure, even thoughts of suicide

something researchersdidn't expect to find.

There is great news, how­ever. One of the most effec­tive treatments for OSA isa CPAP (continuous posi­tive airway pressure). Anoxygen mask goes over yournose and mouth, and airis pumped into your lungswhile you sleep. (Other ef­fective remedies include los­ing weight and not smokingor drinking.) CPAP not onlyeases apnea, the study foundthat after three months ofuse, only around 4 percentof patients had "clinicallysignificant depressive symp­toms."

But CPAP is hard to stickwith; five years after diagno­sis, about 46 percent of peopleare not using their device.That puts them at risk notonly for depression, but alsofor heart disease, high bloodpressure and Type 2 diabetes.Fortunately, for mild to mod­erate OSA there have beenimprovements in oral appli­ances; they can be adjusted toopen the jaw so your airwaystays clear while you sleep,reducing OSA.

Check with your doc, andget a referral to a sleep spe­cialist, who can determineif one or more of the newerdevices is worth trying. Itcould change your outlookon life.

Unapproved prescriptiondrugs sold as supplements

When major-league base­ball suspended Alex Rodri­guez for using performance­enhancing steroids, theyalso cleaned up clubhousesacross the country. Too badthe Food and Drug Admin­istration hasn't done thesame for some general nu­trition and major vitaminstores by clearing dangerousbodybuilding and weight­loss supplements off theirshelves!

Vinpocetine and p i ca­milon are drugs prescribedin several countries to treatcerebrovascular d isordersand cognitive impairment,but in the U.S. they' ve neverpresented adequate data tobe approved for prescrip­tion-drug sales. Instead,drug manufacturers marketthem as botanical supple­ments (which don't needFDA approval) to promoteweight loss and as brain andperformance enhancers.

Researchers, i n c ludingHarvard's Pieter Cohen,M.D., who's appeared on"The Dr. Oz Show," have dis­covered vinpocetine in about300 nonprescription prod­ucts and picamilon in 31supplements, all availablefor sale directly to consum­

Writing in the Mayo Clin­ic Proceedings, Dr. Cohenexplains that, "The FDAmay have assumed thatvinpocetine was a botanicalextract, but it is not ... tomy knowledge, vinpocetineitself has never been iden­tified in lesser periwinkleor any other plant." And tomake matters worse, in thevarious supplements theresearchers tested, doses ofboth drugs were all over theplace — from nonexistent tofar too much — and rarelyreflected what the label saidwas provided. So we suggestthat you avoid these two in­gredients, and if you wantto lose weight, think moreclearly or have more athleticzip, upgrade your diet byditching the Five Food Fel­ons and get seven to eighthours of sleep nightly.

To dial in romance,turn off the phone

Major League Baseball'srules of player conduct statethat there will be no use ofmobile phones, laptops ortexting in th e c lubhousewithin an hour of game timenor on the bench or field atany time. But, says Bostonsports writer Adam Jones,that didn't keep Red Soxsecond baseman Pablo San­doval from running backinto the clubhouse to usehis phone to access Insta­gram during a 5-2 loss to theBraves last June.

That kind of disregard forwhat you should be focusingon is rampant these days,and it even has a name:phubbing, short for "phonesnubbing." In fact, recentresearch, published in thejournal Computers in Hu­man Behavior, found thatalmost 50 percent of folkshave been phubbed by theirpartner, and it's damagingtheir love life and bummingthem out.

What are signs you' re be­ing phubbed? Your honey po­sitions his or her cellphoneso it can be seen when you' retogether; your partner glanc­es at the phone while talkingto you; and whenever there' sa lull in conversation, yourpartner checks the phone.

More important, what' sthe solution? Mention yourconcern (or text it, if neces­sary!) and negotiate a step­by-step change in behavior:

Start by asking that thephone be kept face down ontabletops. After a week, askfor it to remain in a pocket orpurse. Want to be really dar­ing? Ask that it be turned offor left at home.

Remember, the h u m anrace got along OK for manythousands of years beforethere were cellphones.

DIHCE AlIANACS

DEAR ANNIE: An acquaintance re­cently lost his job, and we invited himand his wife to move into our home ona temporary basis. We all agreed theywould live with us until one of themfound another professional position.

It's been only three months, but it' salready uncomfortable. "Sue" and "Bob"do small household chores and paya minimal amount in rent, but thatdoesn't counteract the interruptionthey have added to our daily lives. Theyhave taken over the &idge, the cabinets,the laundry room, the living space andthe kitchen. We have no private timeanymore and cannot trust them to lockdoors or turn off the dryer or cofreemak­er when they leave the house. They pa­rade around the house seminude, makea lot of noise when we' re sleeping andtalk while we are reading or watchingTV.

We have discussed these issues andothers as they have come up, but ithasn't helped. We' ve asked them tokeep out of our bedrooms and home of­

DEAR DR ROACH: I am a 61-year­old woman who has lost most of hersexual drive. My OB/GYN has suggest­ed bioidentical hormone replacementtherapy. My online research did not domuch to enlighten me. The cost is prettyhigh. What can you tell me about this?— T.W.

ANSWER: There is no evidence thatbioidentical hormone preparations aresafer or more efFective than those thatcan be prescribed and that are Foodand Drug Administration-approved.The FDA is taking action against phar­macies that make false and misleadingclaims about medications, which usual­ly come from compounding pharmacies.

All hormone replacement drugs,whether plant-derived, synthesized orfrom animal products, may increasethe risk of heart attack, blood clots andbreast cancer. In many cases, the drugsused are molecularly identical, whetherit comes horn a compounding pharma­cy or from traditional pharmaceuticalcompanies. Compounding pharmaciesare not subject to FDA approval, andmay have inconsistencies in amount or

fice, but the other day I found both ofthem coming out of the ofttce. We do notwant to put locks all over. We want totrust them, but it seems unlikely. Theyhave made comments about our bills,which indicates they have looked at ourprivate mail.

They are supposedly applying forjobs, but so far haven't found anythingthat pays what they feel they deserve.We worry well be stuck with themforever. They have severance pay, un­employment and money from familymembers. They spend it on manicures,personal trainers and new electronics.Here's the kicker: They are activelyseeking a divorce.

How do we tell them they haveoverstayed their welcome? — BADROOMIES

Keith Roach, M.D.

TO YOUI'Good Health

For women with low sex drive, treatment is lacking

Bad roommates have overstayed welcomeDEAR ROOMIES: You need to

set a deadline and stick to it. TellSue and Bob that you hadn't antic­ipatett the job search would takeso long and you can no longer ae­commottate them. Give them onemonth to find other arrangements.Bring home boxes so they can pack(and help them along). At the endof the deadline, if they make no at­tempt to leave, tell them you willput their belongings on the frontsteps. Then change your locks.

DEAR ANME: My husband andson have chronic lung problems. Ourson has asthma, and my husband' slung health has gotten worse over theyears. We have never been smokers,but we have tolerated our relatives whoare. Lately, however, family gatheringsare proving dificult. Exposure to ciga­rette smoke can cause my husband tohave a setback and my son's asthma toflare up.

I have mentioned that their smokingcauses problems, but they don't seem

and promote good relationships andregular exercise such as aerobic exer­cise or yoga may have better effects onwomen's sexual desire than medication.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I would likeyour opinion on a mild problem I have.Beginning at breakfast, my nose beginsto run almost constantly. The situationis worse if I am drinking a hot liquid,like cofFee. After breakfast, the runningstops, and all is then normal. — S.G.

ANSWER: This is a classic exampleof gustatory rhinitis, a type of nonaller­gic rhinitis (" rhino" is the Greek wordfor "nose"; "itis" is for 'Mlammation").The vagus nerve, which provides thenerve supply to many organs, is respon­sible for this confusion, as is the casewith some other abnormal reflexes.This problem seems to be more commonin older adults.

I have found that ipratropium nasalspray is effective for most people withgustatory rhinitis. It's a prescriptionm edicine, so ask your doctor about it.

DEAR DR. ROACH: When mydaughter had cancer, her oncology doc­tor recommended swishing buttermilk

to pay attention. I don't want to hurtanyone's feelings. If I were a smoker, Iwould feel terrible if I thought I causedsomeone else to have health problems,but they don't seem to feel the same.Yet they would be upset if we didn't at­tend these functions. Any suggestions?— SMOKED OUT

DEAR SMOKED O UT : Y ourhusband and son should not besubjected to cigarette smoke, pe­riotI. Tell the relatives you lovethem and would enjoy spendingtime with them, but your fam­ily's health comes 6rst. Ask if theywould please smoke outside. Oth­erwise, sorry, but you won't be ableto come.

in her mouth for thrush. It worked. I amnot sure whether it cured the thrush orjust brought her relief, but at least twoor three times a day, she would ask forbuttermilk. I am sure it can't hurt, andit might help. — V.F.

ANSWER: I have read many ac­counts of buttermilk helping treat yeastinfections of the mouth (thrush). I foundone paper from 2009 showing that cul­tured milk products have yeast-killingproperties, and as you say, it's unlikely tohurt. However, standard treatment withnystatin, fluconazole or similar agents isvery effective, with few side eIIects.

On this date:In 1618, Sir Walter Raleigh,

the English courtier, militaryadventurer and poet, was ex­ecuted in London for treason.

In 1787, the opera "DonGiovanni" by Wolfgang Ama­deus Mozart had its worldpremiere in Prague.

In 1901, President WilliamMcKinley's assassin, LeonCzolgosz (CHAWL'-gahsh),was electrocuted.

In 1964, thieves made offwith the Star of India and oth­er gems from the AmericanMuseum of Natural Historyin New York. (The Star andmost of the other gems wererecovered; three men wereconvicted of stealing them.)

In 1979, on the 50th an­niversary of the great stockmarket crash, anti-nuclearprotesters tried but failedto shut down the New YorkStock Exchange.

In 1994, Francisco MartinDuran fired more than twodozen shots from a semi­automatic rifle at the WhiteHouse. (Duran was later con­victed of trying to assassinatePresident Bill Clinton andwas sentenced to 40 years inprison.)

In 1998, Sen. John Glenn,at age 77, roared back intospace aboard the shuttleDiscovery, retracing the trailhe'd blazed for America' sastronauts 36 years earlier.

In 2012, SuperstormSandy came ashore in NewJersey and slowly marchedinland, devastating coastalcommunities and causingwidespread power outages;the storm and its aftermathare blamed for at least 182deaths in the U.S.

Eight can become a trickBy PHILLIP ALDER

Robert Frost said, "By working faithfully eighthours a day, you may eventually get to be bossand work 12 hours a day."

At major bridge tournaments, there are twosessions of play, each lasting almost four hours-eighthoursaday. Butthisdealrevolvesaround + 9 6 3 2the trump eight. How does it have a key role toplay?

South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond 7 A Q J7 5 4 3 210 in answer to his partner's opening bid. What I 9 6should happen after that? 4 ? 4

South, with a good eight-card suit and nooutside values, correctly jumped straight to thefour-level. He hoped that if he could not makehis contract, he might force the opponents intoan erroneous decision. Note that five diamondsdoubled by East could cost a painful 1,400, North­South taking two spades, one heart, three clubsand a spade ruff by South. Opening lead: I 10

East wins the first trick with his diamond queen,cashes the diamond ace, and continues with thediamond king, which South ruffs with his heartqueen.

West might think that it cannot cost to overruff. But first, he should ask himself what hewill do next. East cannot have a quick entry. Also, as the heart king will always score a trick, itcannot gain to overruff. West should discard.

South crosses to the dummy and leads the heart nine, which is covered by East's 10 andSouth's jack. Now West can take his king, and suddenly his eight has become a trick.

So, if you have nothing important to do, calmly discard; perhaps even an eight will bepromoted as a winner.

SANTA CLARA (AP) — When it comesto any outside chatter questioning ColinKaepernick's support system in his ownlocker room, coach Jim Tom­sula hardly expects thatwould have been generatedwithin team headquartersfrom management or players.

"That would be an absolute concern butI don't address those things," Tomsula saidWednesday. "I don't know where they comefrom. I don't believe it's coming from here."

And Kaepernick certainly would like tothink nobody is making him a scapegoatand placing blame for all the struggles.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)­Following the final out, afterJohnny Cueto completed histwo-hitter, several hundredfans remained in KauffmanStadium, wanting one morelook at the Kansas City Royals.

The next time they see EricHosmer andhis teammatesmay be in a pa­rade.

After smoth­ering the Mete7-1 Wednesday night withCueto and their pesky ofFense,the Royals have a 2-0 WorldSeries lead and can capturetheir first title since 1985 whenplay resumes at New York' sCiti Field this weekend.

Hosmer thought about Kan­sas City's seven-game loss tothe Giants in 2014.

'There's still a lot of workyet to do," he said. "Last yearwe took a 2-1 lead in San Fran­cisco and were feeling prettygood about ourselves."

Kansas City wore down Ja­cob deGrom with persistenceand prowess, then pounced.Hosmer hit a tiebreaking, two­run single with two outs in afour-run fifih inning that in­cluded 14 foul balls.

Nineteen hours after Hos­met's sacrifice fiy won a 14-in­ning thriHer, Cueto variedhis delivery with occasionalquick pitches and kept theMeta ofF balance.

"First of all, our locker roomis straight ... Kap isn't on adamn island," wideout TorreySmith responded.Kaepernick's latest forget­

table performance came ina 20-3 loss to the rival Se­ahawks last Thursday nightat Levi's Stadium, and SanFrancisco now heads to St.Louis this weekend. Kaepe­rnick went 13 of 24 for 124yards with a 68.8 passer rating against Seattle while tak­ing six more sacks. He hadX-rays after the game for aswollen thumb.

"My relationship with myteammates is great. That' s

all I'm worried about," Kae­pernick said. 'What the per­spective is outside the lockerroom really has nothing to dowith me or this team.... To methat's a situation that I don' tknow what the agenda is say­ing that or what the credibil­ity of that source is."

Tomsula has stressed bet­ter communication from ev­erybody, including his quar­terback.

" That was one of t h ethings we talked about as ateam, communicating, every­body, not just him, all of usin the communication sideof things," Tomsula said ofa team meeting earlier thismonth. "If something's onyour mind there's a way totalk about things and go."

Tomsula hasn't observed

room.any problems in the locker

"I think I'm a guy that's inthe locker room more thanmost coaches.... We' re 2-5,here it comes, here comes allthe stuff That's the business,that's where we' re at. But Idon't see it."

San Francisco managedjust 55 yards in the first halfand finished with 142, fewerthan the 164 the Niners man­aged in last year's Thanksgiv­ing night loss to Seattle andtheir worst total since 133yards against the Vikings onNov. 5, 2006.

Kaepernick was seen in­teracting with fellow quar­terbacks Blaine Gabbertand Dylan Thompson — twopeople he regularly eats lunchwith along with offensive

linemen Alex Boone and JoeStaley — in the locker roomWednesday before hitting theshowers.

'This whole team sees Kapon an everyday basis, we seehim 15 hours a day in meet­ings," Gabbert said. "Unlessthose stories are coming fromin here they' re false. Theydon't have any reason to bespread. I think people are justtrying to find something that' scausing turmoil within thisteam, but the rumors don' tneed to be spread, they' re nottrue. That's really all there isto say about it."

Tomsula is most concernedabout getting his entire teamon track. He spent time dur­ing the extended weekendbreak evaluatinghis roster.

One strategy Tomsula has

gone to in order to improvecommunication is to turn offthe music during some prac­tice periods to force playersand coaches to speak to oneanother rather than rely onhand signals.

"What happens, the frustra­tion thing. I felt a frustrationthere. We all do, I'm not goingto lie about it," Tomsula said."We had a tough stretch thereand you get frustrated. What Idon't want is all that pent upthen we start having boom,boom, boom. So I want to be infront of that before anythingcomes up in that way"

"I really hope not. For me,I give eve~g I can to thisorganization, I give every­thing I can to my teammatesto try to help us win and to tryto help us be better movingforward," Kaepernick said. "Ihave a great relationship withmy teammates and I' ll leave itat that."

Mild Matt?Yep, and he did it out of frustration,anger, whatever, but coming from him,there was bad mojo in the review ofthe messy Talladega finish, with all thefinger-pointing at Kevin Harvick and"the system." Said Matt: "I just feellike they lost total control of this wholething. It's not what racing is all about."That's bad stuff.

Asa topper, the Chase's laws of unintendedconsequences hit hard at Talladega.Ironically, it was Kenseth's tediousmarch to the 2003 championship thathelped pave the way for the Chase.

GODWIN KELLY'S TAKE: The consensuswas that Harvick caused the wreck toadvance in the playoffs. He didn't makemany friends, which could haunt him inthe next three weeks.
