SIERRA LIVING

By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

Military veterans hoping to build a memorial pavilion outside of the Tuolumne Veterans Memorial Hall honoring victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and those who served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have revised their plans to remedy concerns raised by a county advisory committee.

The Tuolumne County Historic Preservation Review Commission considered the original plans in November and asked the project's proponents to rework the design so the monument would not block the view of the historic structure at 18875 Fir Ave. in Tuolumne. The veterans will present the revised • KEEP 'EM WARM: Experts warn pet owners of the dangers of cold temperatures.B1 • FOAM RECYCLING: Gardeners offer annual polystyrene recycling in January.B1

1 m1 AND THE NATION AND WORLD

o e: ime o en in i erence VATICAN CITY (AP) — Wishing for a yearbetter than 2015, Pope Francis on Friday called for an end to the "arroganceofthe powerful"thatrelegates the weak to the outskirts of society, and to the "false neutrality" toward conflicts, hunger and persecution that triggers exoduses of refugees. In his New Year's homily, Francis emphasizedthe need to"letourselvesbereborn, to overcome the indifFerence which blocks solidarity, and to leave behind the false neutrality which prevents sharing." After celebrating Mass, the pope came to the window of a Vatican palazzo overlooking St. Peter's Square to offer new year's wishes to a crowd of tens of thousands of tourists and Romans cheering him from below.

exchange wishes. Let's renew, to one an- ter's, he had reflected on the "countless

other, the desire that that which awaits us is a little better" than what last year brought, Francis said. "It is, after all, a sign of the hope that animates us and invites us all to believe in life." "We know, however, that with the new year,everything won't change and that many of yesterday's problems will also remain tomorrow," the pope said, adding that he was making a 'wish sustained by a real hope." As he did in his homily earlier in St. Peter's Basilica, the pope issued a caution that "the enemy of peace isn't only war, but also indifference," and he decried"barriers,suspicions,fearsand closures" toward others.

forms of injustice and violence which dailywound ourhuman family." "Sometimes we ask ourselves how it is possible that human injustice persists unabated, and that the arrogance of the powerful continues to demean the weak, relegating them to the most squalid outskirts of our world." He continued: "We ask how long human evil will continue to sow violence and hatred in our world, reaping innocent victims." Francis cited no country, continent or

conflict. But his words clearly evoked images of the refugees and migrants, more than 1 million of whom flooded into Europe from Africa, the Middle East and Asia in 2015.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Natalie Cole, the Grammy-winning daughter of Nat "King" Cole" who carried on her late father's musical legacy and, through technology, shared a duet with him on "Unforgettable," has died. She was 65. Cole died Thursday evening at CedarsSinai Medical Center in Los Angeles due to compilations fiom ongoing health issues, her family said in a statement. "Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived ... with dignity, strength and honor. Our beloved Mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain UNFORGETTABLE in our hearts forever," read the statement from her son Robert Yancy and sisters Timolin and Casey Cole. Cole had battled drug problems and hepatiti s that forced her to undergo a kidney transplant in May 2009. Cole's

older sister, Carol "Cookie" Cole, died the day she received the transplant. Their brother, Nat Kelly Cole, died in 1995. Natalie Cole was inspired by her dad at an early age and auditioned to sing with him when she was just 11 years old. She was 15 when he died of lung cancer, in 1965. She began as an R&B singer but later gravitated toward the smooth pop and jazz standards that her father loved. Cole's greatest success came with her 1991 album, "Unforgettable ... With Love," which paid tribute to her father with reworked versions of some of his best-known songs, including "That Sunday That Summer," 'Too Young" and "Mona Lisa." Her voice was spliced with her dad's in the title cut, offering a delicate duet a

quarter-century aAer his death. The album sold some 14 million copies and won six Grammys, including album of the year as well record and song of the year for the title track duet. While making the album, Cole told The Associated Press in 1991, she had to "throw out every R&B lick that I had ever learned and every pop trick I had ever learned. With him, the music was in the background and the voice was in the fi'ont." "I didn't shed really any real tears until the album was over," Cole said.'Then I cried a whole lot. When we started the project it was a way of reconnecting with my dad. Then when we did the last song, I had to say goodbye again." She was also nominated for an Emmy award in1992 for a televised performance of her father's songs.

LOS ANGELES (AP)Wayne Rogers, whose Trapper John McIntyre alongside Alan Alda's Hawkeye Pierce brought mischief, martinis a n d me a tball surgery to the masses in the 1970s every week on "M.A.S.H.," has died. The actor was surrounded by family when he died Thursday in Los Angeles of complications from pneumonia at age 82, his publicist and longtime friend Rona Menashe told The Associated Press. Rogers' army s u rgeon Trapper John was one of the most beloved characters — and halfof one of the most beloved duos — in TV history, despite the actor's appearing in only the first three of the show's 11 seasons on CBS. The two skilled doctors, Hawkeye and Trapper, blew off steam between surgeries pulling pranks, romancing nurses and torment-

Knowing who's on your plane I don't know about you, but I'd like to think that the feds have screened the other passengers sitting on my airplane. To do that, they also have to screen me. That's the deal.

In America, any state-issued driver's license had long been acceptable ID for

i ng sec~ t y HpITpp checks at airports. T h at lax a t titude changed after Sept. 11, 2001, when terrorists turned four commercial jetliners full of passengers into missiles, killing thousands more on the ground. All four planes took off from U.S. atrp orts.

On the recommendation of the 9/11 Commission, Congress passed the Real ID Act. It tightensstandards for state driver' s licenses used to board flights. Among other information, applicants must provide their Social Security number and immigration status. The licenses must also contain a chip or other technology that can be read by a computer. The deadline for compliance is approaching. Some states have done their duty and is-

sued secure driver's licenses. Others have

made enough progress that their licenses are acceptable for the time being. And a few states — Washington, Minnesota and New Mexico, for example — have largely not complied. Barring another extension of the deadline, their driver's licenses will soon be inadmissible as proofofidentity atairportsecurity. Consider the stakes. When Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 crashed last year, killing all 239 aboard, the world shuddered to learn that two of the passengers had carried fake passports. The two, it turned out, were not terrorists but ordinary Iranians trying to move to Germany. Everyone, Americans included, noted that known terrorists bent on destruction could probably have secured similar phony ID. But there's a tendency, especially among Americans,torapidly forgetwhat obsessed them the year before. With the deadline for Real ID drawing near, hostility has again flared toward letting the federal government do what it must to ensure that passengers flashing driver's licenses at airport security are who they say they are. To me, the main difference between a secure driver's license and an insecure one is that the insecure one can be used for committing crimes, among them identity theft and fraud. But to many foes of Real ID, secure ones' threattoprivacy is am oreseriousmatter. The foes argue that requiring enhanced licenses is tantamount to creating a national

identity card. That presupposes that a national identity card would be a terrible thing. Actually, the gentlest of European democracies have national identity cards, and they haven' t turnedintopolicestates. Besides, Americans already have a national ID number, courtesy of Social Security. When the Social Security program was established in 1935, its enemies fulminated against the issuance of numbers, with some of the arguments now being hurled at Real ID. As historian Douglas Brinkley writes, "Critics likened the process to the social engineering used in fascist nations, notably Nazi Germany, predicting that American workers

would be forced to wear metal tags on chains around their necks and charging that 'surveillance is a part of the plans of the (Franklin D.) Roosevelt administration.' " It was inevitable that an ID requiring proof of immigration status would rankle defenders of undocumented workers. One wishes for a solution to the immigration problem that is humane to both those settled here illegally and American workers competing with them for jobs. (Such a plan would legalize the status of most of the undocumented while cutting off future illegal entry.) That said, it is politically unwise to let concerns about inconveniencing people here illegally trump (excuse the expression) concern over national security. An air disastersetoQ'by passengers getting on board with fake ID would move many fencesitters to the side of Real ID. But let's not wait for it.

GUEST COLUMN

What a year for women, for better or worse Changes and trends of the old year now passing in review show women holding, as usual, a mixed bag. Some less sanguine women would call it a Pandora's box. The Obama administration pressed the military to open up combat positions to women, though many senior officers (and a lot of the women in the ranks) privately think it' s a bad idea.The debate is less about the different physical abilities of men and women, though it is certainly about that, than the impact of fraternization in close and dangerous quarters. If raging hormones control the young, we' re in more trouble than we thought. Gone is the sensibility of Bill Mauldin's famous World War II cartoon of Willie and Joe. Huddled in the rain and mud in their drenched foxhole, Willie asks Joe, whose face is hidden behind a week's growth of stubble: ''Why couldn't you have been born a beautiful

men. The most dramatic transgendered woman lives in the fantasy world of television, in "Transparent," a series basking in rave reviews for its depiction of three adult children reacting to their father's announcement that he's now their mother. The portrayal brings out the inevitable ambiguities in unhappy families,rewriting Tolstoy's famous observation for the 21st century, something like: "Each unhappy family is queer in its own way." In 'Transparent," when Maura Pfefferman (formerly Morton) is asked by a daughter if becoming a trans-parent means he will now

The differences between the sexes have gone through a radical transformation of perceptions over the past year, with famous men as well as popular fictional men transitioning into a version of womanhood. Bruce Jenner, who became a poster boy for masculinity and achampionship season when he won the Olympic gold medal for the decathlon in 1976, transformed in our collective memory to Caitlyn Jenner,a 65-year-old glamour-puss passively displayed in a white strapless leotard on the cover of Vanity Fair, a pinup of vapid feminimty, who has yet to submit to the unkindest cut of all. Willie and Joe would still prefer their idea of a woman to share a foxhole with. The desire to transition into transgender is not adesire shared proportionately between the two sexes, with a third more men wish-

clared that he was a better man as a woman.

Changing sex means complicating emotions and coming up with elaborate explanations. The 1980s sensitivity in men was highly prized by feminists, before women discovered they had inadvertently liberated men from marriage and their roles as breadwinners. I cherished my mother's role as an idealized homemaker because she was always there after school, but it was a role I did not imitate. That's all but vanished. That's too bad, not only for the children but also for women who have lost a prized and privileged choice that ing to be women than women eager to become many women would still prefer.

The lagging economy conspires with cultural politics to reinforce certain negatives in the equalizing of the sexes. Some young men as well as young women must adjust to a new kind of dependency. The economics of housing, enormity of debt from student loans and growing scarcity of jobs for those without a college degree all doom young adults to live with their parents instead of the warm intimacy of life with someone to share a pillow with. Not since 1940 has the nest been so crowded with boomerang babies or children who have never left home. Delayed marriage is both an economic and social trend, and what's particularly ominous is that since 1970 each new cohort of young adults has a higher rate of nevermarrieds than the one before it. A Pew Research analysis suggests that when today' s young adults reach their mid-40s to mid50s, 1 in 4 will never have married. This will fall hardest on women who yearn for babies in an intact family. As homosexuals celebratemarriage, heterosexuals are fi nding it harder to find a marriage to celebrate, a further irony of our time. The war between the sexes has always played out within specific cultural mores of the moment, but this is the first year that

both men and women are armed together in the military to fight an enemy, rather than grooving on the fun of disarming each other. If Willie and Joe were around today they would surely be scratching their bald heads. A lot of us are perplexed. There's much to wonder and worry about as the new year arrives, and here it comes, ready or not. Suzanne Fields isa columnist for The Washington Times and is nationally

Outdoor grows must be fully enclosedby a fence atleast 6 feet high and cannot be within 1,000 feet of any school, schoolevacuation site,place of worship, public park, licensed family day care center or youth-oriented facility. Anyone growing medical marijuana on a piece of property they don't own must obtain a notarized letter from the legal owner consenting to the cultivation. Growers must also reside at the property on a permanent basis. Enforcement of t h e o r dinance would be handled administratively by county code compliance officers, with the aid of SherifFs deputies to ensure safety and provide technical support. The planning commission is expected to review the ordinance by Jan. 20, followed by a final vote from the board tentatively scheduled for Feb. 2. The ordinance, if adopted, would go into effect March 3.

microwave handles/doors/ keypads, refrigerator door handles, etc. You know it's not the flu, because the influenza virus typically only causes vomiting in young children, Ortiz said. Influenza is a respiratory disease spread through the air, versus norovirus, which is spread through infected surfaces,water and food. Norovirus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis in the U.S. and is responsible for a pproximately 20 m i l lion illnesses each year with 570 to 800 deaths reported annually, the California D epartment of Public Health reported. The virus can spread quickly in c l osed and crowded environments like hospitals, nursing homes, daycare centers, schools, cruise ships and restaurants.

T he virus m a y b e found in both stool and vomit, and people can still be contagious for up to two weeks or more

after r ecovery. People can become infected in several ways, including: having direct c ontact with another person who is infected, eating food or drinking liquids contaminated wit h

n o r ovi-

rus, or touching contaminated surfacesor objects and then touching your mouth.

Symptoms usually begin 12 to48 hours after the exposure and last for one to three days. The most common symptoms include vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and stomach cramps. Other

symptoms may include low-grade fever, headache and body aches. N orovirus

symp t o m s

can lead to dehydration, especially in young children, older adults and p eople with o ther i l l nesses, the state public health department said. Since Oct. 1, health officials said there have been 82 outbreaks in California.

Did you know, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), that from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day, household waste increases by more than 25 percent? Added food waste, disposable tree trimmings, shopping bags, packaging, wrapping paper, bows and ribbons all add an additional 1 million tons a week to our landfills, or 5 million extra tons by the time the holidays are over (www. cawrecycles.org/recyclingnews/greeningtheholidays). One of those waste packaging products is "Styrofoam." In fact, Styrofoam is the trade-marked brand of extruded polystyrene foam produced by the Dow Chemical Companies.

Experts warn pet owners of the dangers of cold temperatures B Y LYDIA BROWMN G The Union Democrat

.'iTiij

As low temperatures in the foothills dip into the 20s, pet owners should be extra cautious and aware

of the dangers the colder climate can bring. 'The biggest, most important thing is that pets should be kept inside," said Doryene Rapini, president of the Humane Society of Tuolumne County and operati ons directorofthe shelter. "As cold as it is, if there is no way to keep a pet inside, they need an enclosure that protects them from the cold with blankets to keep them warm." Tuolumne County Animal Control year-round receives about two to

three calls a week concerning animal neglect, abuse orinadequate shelter, Animal Control Manager Jennifer Clarke said. "One thing people are not usually aware of are the dangers of de-icers like rock salt or antifreeze. When pets walk on the substances and lick their feet afterward, the toxic matter can bevery problematic,"said Leslie Holsapple, veterinarian at the Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital. Liquids like antifreeze can leak out of vehicles in the winter and, becausesome antifreezehas a sweet taste, pets will lick it off the ground, said Casey Erickson, veterinarian of Mono Way Veterinary Hospital in East Sonora. 'The immediate symptoms take days to occur and include not eating, vomiting and acting very lethargic," Erickson said. Other places to look out for the toxic chemicals would be in places where ice or snow is intentionally melted, like in driveways or sidewalks. "Make sure to wipe off your pet's feet after a walk outside to make sure they don't lick anything toxic," Erickson said.

Matt, in his colorful black-and-red sweater, stands next to his sister, Mary, who wears a more subdued, but no less warm, sweater. Lucy, a mixed-breed 10-month old puppy, wears a black-and-pink sweater in her kennel. to allow any animals time to escape the vehicle before driving away. Another less common danger for pets is the possibility of frostbite and hypothermia. Hypothermia results when the bodylosesheat fasterthan itcan produce heat, causing vital organs and systems to slow, and eventually stop, working. Frostbite is an injury that occurs when skin freezes. "When it's snowing, pets feet can get really cold, and they can sometimes evengetfrostbite,n Rapini said.

When people warm up their vehicles for an extended period oftim e, some pets will create a habit of crawling into engines and wheel wells to absorb the warmth from the motor, Erickson said. M ake sure to createa lotofnoise

damp-proofingis required. It's also used in floral arrangements. However, the ( usually) white, expanded — as opposed to extruded — polystyrene foam is a different material. Also an excellent insulator, it's usually used in p a ckaging m aterials. This is the stuff that Master Gardeners will be collecting once again on two Saturdays in January. The dates are Saturday, Jan. 16, and Saturday, Jan. 23, 2016. Collection times for each day are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The drop-off will be held on Microtronics Way next to the Waste Management Inc. site just off C Avenue in th e Tuolumne Road industrial park. Take Tuolumne Road andfollow the signs. Waste Management (Cal Sierra Division) is providing two large open top trash containers and two large metal racks. One rack will hold packing-grade polystyrene; the other will hold food-grade pol y s tyrene separately. As in prior collections, the recycler will accept only clean food containers, which we ask you to put i nt o clear plastic bags. Packing grade polystyrene (used for shipping and wrapping items such as electronics) may be put into coloredplasticbags. All you have to do is load the material in your car or truck, drive on by, and Master Gardeners will help you unload. How can you participate? • Look for the No. 6 in the recyclable triangle label on the bottom of the material. • Donate only clean packaging foam and rigid, white, foam insulation. • Please remove alltape, labels, stickers, paint, cardboard and any other nonpolystyrene materials. • Food containers need to be clean, with no food or grease residue. • We cannot accept bubble wrap or packing peanuts. Packaging foam is typically used to pack computers, TVs, appliances, furniture, wine, steaks, and medications. Foam insulation is typically used around building foundations and to insulate pipes. Some packaging materials are now made from other kinds of foam. Only No.

The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation. They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h©uniondemocrat.corn

African Penguins face threat from pet dogs JOHANNESBURG (AP) — African Penguins struggle to find food at sea, contributing to a sharp drop in numbers over the years. The endangered animals also face a shorebased threat in South Africa — pet dogs. More than 40 p enguins were killed this year by one or more dogs and authorities recently increased patrols in a penguin nesting area where people often take their dogs for a walk, the city of Cape Town said Monday. Protective measures along Burgher's Walk in Simon's Town, which include requiring leashes for all dogs in the area, have been effective and full-time patrols will continue untilthe end ofJanuary, Cape Town officials said. Authorities will try to find the right balance between protecting penguins in the urban district while

at the same time "not over-regulating human recreation in the area," city councilor Johan van der Merwe said in a statement. The decline of the African Penguin increased around 2004 with a southern shift in anchovies and sardines

away from the hub ofpenguin colonies along South Africa's Atlantic coast, reducing the penguins' ability to get food, according to experts. Scientists are unsure why the fish moved, considering climate change and overfishing as some of the possiblecauses.Namibia also hoststhe endangered species. In 2010, the International Union forConservation ofNature declared the African Penguin endangered. Based on data around that period, it estimated the total number of African Penguins at about 80,000, amounting to a 60 percent drop in the population over 30 years

'The floors in our kennels are heated for our animals. If it's too cold outside we let them play in our conference room," Rapini said.

"Honestly, we luckily don't treat pets for hypothermia and frostbite that often. A lot of animals do pretty well at adapting to the cold and finding warm areas," Erickson said.

"People think just because animals have fur that they are fine, but that isn't true. We like to be warm, and so do they," Holsapple said.

Mom hurt by daughter-in-law's cold shoulder

Today in hisfory

DEAR ANNIE: I realize that this is a common issue, but I could still use some advice. When my son first married, his wife was loving and involved with the family. When the babies were born, we continued a warm relationship. Now that their children are older, however, our daughter-in-law is cold and distant, and she is not interested in interacting with our extended family. She grew up in a troubled family and seemedvery happy to join ours. But not anymore. We live nearby and other than chance meetings, occasional help with the children and family holidays, we seldom see my son. We were told early on that we were not to visit unannounced, and we never have. If we didn't attend the grandchildren's school functions, we would never see them. It seems that our daughter-in-law just doesn't like us and wants minimal

ing to her. You are not asking too much, but you might consider readjusting your expectations. Do not criticize or assign blame. That will only make the situation worse. You can ask your son whether there is something you can do to help smooth over the relationship, and then do it. You can see whether your son will bring the kids over without his wife so she can get a break and you can spend time with them. Or you can accept that this is how it is, being grateful that you get to see the family on holidays and at school events, and involving yourself in things that will bring you peace.

Today is Saturday, Jan. 2, the second day of 2016. There are 364 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History:On Jan. 2, 1900, U.S. Secretary of State John Hay announced the "Open Door Policy" to facilitate trade with China. On this date: In 1893, the U.S. Postal Service issued its first commemorative stamp to honor the World's Columbian Expedition and the quadricentennial of Christopher Columbus' voyage. In 1935, Bruno Hauptmann went on trial in Flemington, New Jersey, on charges of kidnapping and murdering the 20-monthold son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh. (Hauptmann was found guilty, and executed.) In 1942, the Philippine capital of Manila was captured by Japanese forces during World War II. In 1971, 66 people were killed in a pileup of spectators leaving a soccer match at Ibrox (EYE'-brox) Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1974, President Rich-

held buckets at the intersections in

town and raised thousands of dollars. Although we didn't bucket-beg for our own activities, I understand why they are so common now.

With recent tax cuts, schools have lessmoney foroptionalactivities,such as band trips, choral productions and academic competitions. When you do a fundraiser through the school, like selling candy, the price of the item has to be inflated to allow a profit margin. With a bucket campaign, the group gets100 percent ofalldonations. Your advice was good.

Frequent bowel movements better than treatment DEAR DR. ROACH:I am a 77-yearoldfemale in good health.I am 5 feet,2 inches tall and weigh 125 pounds. I exercise regularly and eat a varied, healthy diet. For someyears now, I have had what I consider too many bowel movements everyday.Ihave complained to my doctor at my yearly checkups, but nothing ever getsresolved exceptforthe diagnosis of IBS. My last doctor recommended I take Metamucil, and that helps in the passage, but not the frequency. Upon arising in the mornings, I have two to four goodsize bowel movements without fail, with more throughout the day. I do experience gas, too,althoughitisnotasbad asitwas before the Metamucil. It seems that every

timeIeat,Iexperience some gasorhave to eliminate. Isn't there someway to quiet my system and eliminate just once a day? — C.H. ANSWER: Irritable bowel syndrome involves both a change in bowel habits (too many or too few; occasionally these alternate) and chronic abdominal discomfort or pain. IBS is very common, especially among women, and can be frustratingly difficult to treat, on occa-

To Your Good Health /

Keith Roach, M.D. sion. It sounds like you don't have any chronic discomfort, just increased numbers of daily bowel movements. Iagreewith yourpreviousdoctor'srecommendation of fiber (such as Metamucil), as it is the mainstay of initial pharmacologic therapy and is used when changes in diet have failed to relieve symptoms. In general, I recommend minimizing the amount of medication taken. AlthoughIsuppose itcouldbe possibleto use medication to reduce the number of bowel movements a day, I wouldn't recommend it in absence of chronic pain or discomfort. In my opinion, the treatment might make things worse than the symptoms you have now. I would recommend thatyou avoid foods that

tend to promote excess bowel movements, especially including those with nonabsorbable sugar alcohols,like sorbitol, mannitol and xylitol. DEAR DR. ROACH:My mom is required to take warfarin for atrial fibrillation. She tells me and her doctors that it makes her feel ill, similar to heartburn. She also notes joint pain, muscle "pulls" and a bad taste in her mouth. Her doctors tell her and our family that they are not familiar with anyone having such side effects. Are you?What are the worst side effects you' veheard of? —D.M. ANSWER: Warfarin (Coumadin) is a powerful anticoagulant medication. Its m ajor sideeffectisincreasedpropensity to bleed, especially at high levels (the effectofwarfarin ismeasured by a blood test called the INR, which for most people should be between 2 and 3). However, othersideeff ectsarepossible,and I have heard of a bad taste in the mouth and both nausea and abdominal pain. I am concerned about the joint and muscle pains, since these might represent bleeding into the affected joints and muscles, but hopefully her doctors are

The most dangerous side effect, in addition to bleeding (which in itself can be fatal), is a rare complication that happens when people first start on warfarin, called skin necrosis. This is thought to berelated to low levels ofprotein C and usually happens when very large doses of warfarin are used initially. I have seen two cases in my career, which is two too many. Many people are on newer alternatives to warfarin, which do not require monitoring and have similar or lower rates of serious bleeding. The effects of warfarin can be reve rsedinthecaseofseverebleeding. This is not true of the newer drugs.

South's six-club reply (step four) indicated two key cards and the heart queen. Now came the key agreement: six diamonds invited the grand slam and asked for help in clubs. Although the singleton was not as good as the king, South anticipated being able to establish his partner's suit with ruffs. So he jumped to seven hearts. South won the first trick with dummy's spade jack, drew one round of trumps, and claimed 13 tricks: three spades, six hearts, one diamond, one club and two diamond ruffs in the dummy. But even if West had led, say, a trump, declarer would have had no trouble ruffing down the club king. Their homework had really paid off.

BRIEFING

Canadienstop Bruins 5-1 at home ofPatriots FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) —The Montreal Forum was the Canadiens' home for one of the most successful dynasties in professional sports. The Bruins and Celtics filled the Boston Garden rafters with championship banners. The Original Six rivals met at the home of the defending Super Bowl champions for the NHL Winter Classic on Friday, and it was the visiting Canadiens and their locally grown goalie who managed to mimic the New England Patriots' success. Weadng a mask decorated with a Patriots theme and autographed by their coach and quarterback, Mike Condon stopped 27 shots to help Montreal beat the Bruins 5-1 on Fddayat the home of the reigning NFL champions. Paul Byron scored twice, and Brendan Gallagher returned from two broken fingers to score a goal and add an assist. David Desharnais and Max Pacioretty also scored for the Canadiens, who passed Florida and moved into first place in the Atlantic Division with 47 points. Tuukka Rask stopped 25 shots for the Bruins, and Matt Beleskey scored in the third period to avert the first shutout in Winter Classic history. The four-goal win was the largest for the event since it began in 2008. But the Bruins fell to 0-1 in a building where the Patriots have lost only one meaningful game in three years.

Davis, 59, died Wednesday at his Plantation home, surrounded by family, said Karla Gu adamuz-Davis. His diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer in February just before his birthday came as a shock because he had never smoked, she said. The cancer spread to his liver, and the family chose to discontinue treatment in a hospital this week. In the 1976 Olympics, Davis was voted the outstanding boxer, outpolling his teammates Leonard and Michael and Leon Spinks. His mother had died three days before the Montreal Games began, and he considered withdrawing from competition. Instead he stayed, and he dedicated his lightweight gold medal win to his mother' s memory.

Shelby Conklin is Missouri bound Summerville senior Shelby Conklin (sitting) signed her letter of intent in December to play softball at Missouri Valley College, a NAIA University. Conklin signed her letter of intent in Modesto, with parents Sean and Lani Conklin in attendance. "I looked for a place out of state," Conklin said. "I wanted to go try something different out of California. This school just popped up and, honestly, I wasn't thinking about Missouri, because who things about Missouri? But when I visited I really liked the campus as well as the coaches and players." During her junior season at Summerville, Conklin hit.413 with 31 hits, five doubles, one triple, two home runs, 24 runs batted in and 10 runs scored. She had a great eye, only striking out 10 times in 86 at bats. Conklin was tough as nails on the mound. She pitched in every Summerville game, and threw 122.2 total innings. She had a 2.68 earned run average while striking out 114 batters and collected six wins. Conklin had a fielding percentage of .932. Now, heading into her senior season, with the pressure of finding a college behind her, Conklin looks to just enjoy her remaining time at Summerville. "It was a relief to finally find a college that fits me," Conklin said. "I' ve been looking for a college for three years now, and it will be nice just to relax and enjoy my senior season. I'm just hoping for a great season and hopefully I can make it special for the younger girls. I just really wanna have fun this season. That's all that I really care about."

to make that decision and not knowing the outcome was not really a thrilling moment, but it was the right decision. UD: You guys are 10-5 which is the first time in 15 years that Columbia has had double-digit wins be fore conference play. That being said, I know how you are never satisfied and are always wanting your team to improve. So what is an area that you would like to see improvement induring conference play? RH: We need to improve on defence and our mental toughness. No question. We have to be mentally tough to play the teams we have to play. Having to open on the road and having teams that have byesbefore us is really tough. If we are not mentally tough, there is going to be a meltdown at some point and we have to make sure we handle our business. UD: The thing that impresses me with your team is that there is not one guy that is leading the charge. They are a team in every sense ofthe monE. Like you said, you brought in 1 0 freshmen from allover the country who didn't know each other. What has been the best thing about seeing them grow as a team over the preseason? RH: The best thing is seeing their relationships with each other. If they didn't have strong relationships with each other, they wouldn't be so unselfish. If they didn' t have those r elationships, they wouldn't be so happy to seetheirteammates succeed. That is what I want to see as a coach and we really have a

special group of guys. Winning and losing is one thing, but seeing the relationships is what is really special. I want to be in their lives in 10 years and I mean it. I tell them when I recruit them that I want to dance with their mom at their wedding. I tell them they are as tough as turtles teeth and they just laugh at it.

And it' s because of the great support I get from my family and the school. I get to hang out with Coach Francis and Coach Scholl. The players are really good people. I' ve got really good guys on my team. Throughout the state, there are guys lost because of grades or they didn't come back after the Christmas break. All my guys are still here. I told them today that I want all of them back next year, so I don't want them to have to worry about it.

And there is going to be really good basketball being played.

Derek Carr closes in on milestones in finale

NAPA (AP) — St. Louis rookie running back Todd Gurley missed his third straight practice because of a right foot injury and is likely to be held out of the Rams' final regular-season game. The 10th overall pick in the 2015 draft, Gurley has spent the past week getting treatment on his foot after being hurt late in the second half of St. Louis' win over Seattle. Gurley, who also missed

Joshua Dobbs threw for 166 yards and ran for two touchdowns, while Outback MVP Jalen Hurd rushed for 130 yards and one TD for the Vols (9-4), who finished with at least nine wins for the first time since 2007. Evan Berry put a punctuation mark on the team's sixth consecutive win by returning one of Tennessee's four intercepti ons 100 yards for a TD in the closing seconds.

But he also threw a costly interception in the end zone late in the first half that stifled the Gators' attempt to stay in the game. Michigan took a 17-7 lead into half-
