The problem affects 7.5 million victims nationwide each year, both men and women, teenage and adult, according to the National Center for Victims of Crime.

Social media posts with definitions and statistics will be made throughout the month.

Cheryl Calderaro submitted a photo taken mid-December off Heron Point Trail (top left). She said, "I had a great walk today on some deer paths off Heron Point Trail. It was quite chilly out, but the air was clear and the water so blue.

I heard a red-tailed hawk and then saw it soaring close overhead. Our poor lake has been so devastated by the drought, but today it was beautifully serene." Dan and Vera Strader submitted a photo taken in November featuring a view of the foothills from their deck (bottom left). They called it, "A winter garden after the rain."

GUEST COLUMN

A new form of reefer madness Itsurelylooked like reefer madness was back the other day, when the state began advertising for a new medical marijuana czar. The timing of the listing, coming while a dozen proposed ballot initiatives to legalize recreational pot are pending, appeared to suggest an assumption by Gov. Jerry Brown and his administration that at least one will pass.

T he n e w p t cz~, to be ~ ~ , T h OmaS paid between $115,000 and $128,000 annually, would actually only be in charge of medical marijuanato start with. (Two more putative ballot measures now authorized to seek voter signatures would make refinements to the 1996 Proposition 215, which legalized medipot.) The wide presumption is that if and when recreational marijuana is legalized, it will be regulated by the same czar as medipot, working under the state's Department of Consumer Affairs.

So even while the marijuana industry and its millions of customers can't seem to decide which measure to back, the choice of their future chief regulator is almost upon us.

That person will supposedly be hired by the end of January, and then get one year to organize a new agency that will label all medical marijuana products, license growers and dispensaries •

around the state and weed out mavericks who

refuse to comply with the state's new regulations, passed by legislators last summer and then signed into law by Brown. ''What we' re seeing is a dramatic shift in professionalism within the cannabis industry and a major component is more vigorous, resilient and intelligent regulation," said Paul Warshaw, head of GreenRush, a medipot business with 125 associateddispensaries offering 5,000 pot-related products.

Colleague Seth Yakatan, CEO of Kalytera, a company now developing marijuana-derived cannabidiol products it hopes will be used against osteoporosisand other health problems, sees a major shift in mindset.

"California's medical marijuana industry has gained a reputation as being loosely regulated, often to the detriment of patients and business owners," he said. "If this budding industry is to be taken seriously, California's new Bureau of Medical Marijuana Regulation will need to be properly...managed."

But establishment of that agency also implies the Brown administration wants to be ready for full legalization, which could come as early as one year &om now,depending on which, if any,currentlyproposed ballotme asure should pass.

"Whoever takes the job will probably have a target on their head," predicted Dale Sky Jones, president of Oakland's Oaksterdam University, to a reporter. A leading source of information on pot, Oaksterdam also advises the states of Washington and Colorado, which already have legalized recreational pot.

The new medipot boss will have to be careful never to even imply that he or she would like to see recreational marijuana legalized in California. That would bring ire &om cannabis opponents, who cite federal studies indicating the weed can demotivate youthful users, in addition to damagingthebrainsofsome young people.

While polls indicate opponents now number only about 40 percent in California, that figure will no doubt grow if pot critics mount a serious campaign against whatever initiative eventually qualifies for next fall's ballot.

So it might be best if Brown and his aides make it clear their job posting is merely a requirement of newlaws already on the books,and notan anticipation or endorsement of any or all of the putative pot initiatives.

One thing for sure: Given the fact that medical marijuana is already an almost $4 billion business in California, and rates as the state's most lucrative crop by a margin of more than$1 billion oversecond-placegrapes,legalizing random pot growing and use will likely make pot a dominant product, perhaps producing as much revenue as allother cropscombined.

This would be an enormous change, possibly causing some present growers of everythmg &om grapes to nuts, citrus and cotton to change signals and plant marijuana instead. The impact of that on American diets and food prices could be enormous.

So it behooves Brown to avoid reefer madness and stayas far from endorsing a potproposition as he can.

Merkel's bold move and a needed correction Time magazine made a solid news judgment in naming German Chancellor Angela Merkel its 2015 "Person of the Year."

The fiood of refugees and immigrants &om the Middle East and Africa into Europe, the greatest wave of migrants since World War II, is the world-changing event of the decade, and Merkel is the individual most responsible for rolling out Germany's welcome mat to more than a million asylum seekers. "It was an audacious act that, in a single motion, threatened both to redeem Europe and endanger it," Time wrote.

It was an audacious act — and no one knows betterthan Merkel how unmanageable it is. In July, the chancellor endured a painful televised confrontation with a Palestinian teen, who, in fiuent German, told Merkel that the threat of deportation kept her &om enjoying the life she sees others living. "As long as I don't know that I can stay here, I don't know what my future will be," the girl said. Visibly upset, Merkel told the 14-year-old that Germany "just can't manage" to help every refugee and asylum seeker.

In September, Merkel threw caution to the wind and dispensed with standard European Union asylum procedures. The gesture was seen as a green light not only by desperate Syrians fieeing violence but also by economic refugees &om A&ica and Afghanistan who saw the moment as perhaps a final opportunityto squeeze into Europe before the door slams shut. A disapproving Hungarian official told The Wall Street Journal, 'The Germans think they' re the Americans of Europe."

Here's another parallel between Germany and the United States: The day comes when

governments have to enforce immigration laws, even if they don't want to. In the coming weeks, The Washington Post reported, the Obama administrat ion isexpected todeport Central Americans who surged across the border in 2014 but did not qualify for asylum. In December, Germany stepped up deportationsof refugees not qualified for asylum status. At a news conference, Merkel made clear that many Afghans seeking asylum will be sent home.

"Germany is saying, We' re going to deport everyone (who doesn't qualify), observed Jessica Vaughan of the pro-enforcement Center for Immigration Studies.

"They' re actually starting to remove people, and it's going relatively smoothly. That should be a lesson to the U.S." Germany's articulation should be a lesson to Washington. German Parliament member Mark Hauptmanngavetwo reasonsAfghans are unlikely to qualify for asylum. First, he told NPR, "if we look at the people who are leaving the country, they are the young ones, the better-educated ones,and thoseones are needed to build up Afghanistan." Also: "We send ourtroops;we send our citizens there to

"came across as an open invitation to any-

one who can get there." To set things right, Merkel had to set clear boundaries and enforce the rules. "I think the big difference is that Merkel seems to mean what she says," Vaughan added,unlike the Obama administration, which enforces immigration law spottily, and then reluctantly.

Now Merkel finds herself back where she was in July. She knows that there are good people who want nothing more than to be good Germans — but she also knows that Germany cannot be the country that it is if it accommodates everyone who wants in. With too much trafFic, any welcome mat wears

thin. Thus, Merkel must "manage" who gets to stay in Germany — if she wants to maintain the support of German voters who, with reason, fear that their safety net cannot handle the strain of a million-plus refugees.

Credit Merkel with articulating a policy and then refining it when she had to con&ont its unintended consequences. She knew the political cost and is likely to pay it someday.

For his part, President Obama throws out bromides — for example, 'That's not who we are." Everyone can agree with that statement because no one is sure exactly what it

means. Meanwhile, the administration signs executive orders rewarding undocumented immigrants for flouting the law and then, the next day, threatens to actually enforce the law. And always about politics.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department sued Volkswagen on Monday over emissions-cheating software found in nearly 600,000 vehicles sold in the United States, potentiall y exposing the company to billions of dollars in penalties for clean air viola-

tions.

The civil c o mplaint against the German automaker, filed on behalf of th e E n v ironmental Protection Agency in U.S. District Court in Detroit, alleges the company illegally i n stalled s oftware designed to make its "clean diesel" engines pass federal emissions standards while undergoing laboratory testing. The vehicles then switched off those measures in real-world driving conditions, spewing harmful gases at up to 40 times what is allowed under federal environmental standards.

"Car m a n ufacturers that fail to properly certify their cars and that defeat emission control systems breach the public trust, endanger public health and disadvantage competitors," John C. Cruden, the assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division, said in a statement.

The company is in the midst of negotiating a massive mandatory recall with U.S. regulators and potentially f a ces more than $18 billion in fines for violations of the federal Clean Air Act.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama moved Monday to expand background checks to cover more guns sold at gun shows, online and anywhere else, aiming to curb a scourge of gun violence despite unyielding opposition to new gun laws in Congress.

Obama'splan tobroaden background checks forms the centerpiece of a broader package of measures the president plans to take on his own on gun control in his final year in oflice. Although Obama can't unilaterally change gun laws, the president is hoping that beefing up enforcement of existing laws can prevent at least some gun deaths in a country rife with them.

'This is not going to solve every violent crime in this country," Obama said.

Still, he added, "It will potentially save lives and spare families the pain of theseextraordinary losses."

California Penal Code Section 646.9 defines stalking as "any person who willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly follows or willfully and maliciously harasses another person and who makes a credible threat with the intent to place thatperson in reasonable fear for his or her safety, or the safety of his or her immediate family."

Phone counselors will help createa safety plan to avoid or prevent stalking, provide information about local laws, m ake references to other services and weigh options such as aprotectivecourtorder.

Similarly trained counselors are available on-site to meet with victims and walk them through emotional and legalrecovery &om sexualassault and domestic violence.

The care at times includes attendingcourt proceedings and connecting victims to the Vi ctim/Witness Pro-

gram, Sunday said.

The program provides outreach and advocacy for victims of all criminal cases that come through the district attorney'soffice.

"We collaborate with the center on a daily basis on many crimes. Stalking is one of them," Martin said.

Funded through state and federal grants, every county in California has a similar program to give victims voice in legal proceedings and instruct how to follow up on reports to law enforcement.

"A lot times you make a report, the officer leaves,and you' re not sure what happens next," Martin said.

When the program works with the center, it will often assist domestic violence and sexual assault victims in fil-

ing the initial claim.

"There are certain crimes that we know are more difficult to report," said Martin. ''We try to help the community understand that, once you make a report, you' re not left in the dark."

Creamy Mushroom ChestnutSoup

Mushroom soup should be like a good &iend: There for you when you need it, full of understanding and comfort, and spicy enough to make you laugh. Consider this creamy mushroom chestnut soup a best friend.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — How far have vegan alternatives come to tasting like the real thing? Not far enough, according to a panel that tasted some options for The Associated Press.

"Noxious" and "kind of not natural" were among the reactions to some of the meatless alternatives being pushed by a new generation of vegan food makers that want to revolutionize the way Americans eat.

"If I were to eat this thinking it is a regular hamburger, I might think it's spoiled," said Byron Champlin, a city councilor in Concord, New Hampshire, after taking a bit of a"beefl ess" burger patty made by Gardem.

Gardein, Beyond Meat and Hampton Creek are among the companies trying to bring energy to a category that has long been defined by brands like Morningstar Foods (founded in 1970), Nasoya (1978) and Quorn (1985). The thinkmg is that more Americans will embrace plant-based alternatives to beef, chicken and mayonnaise if thereare better-tasting options.

The idea is attracting millions of dollars in investments and media fanfare, with the newer companies saying their products also are healthier and gentler on the environ-

ment. But the recipes they' re cooking up might not be ready for prime time just yet.

Meaty, smoky chestnuts and savory &esh herbs add depth to an otherwise ordinary, creamy mushroom soup.Use bottled,dried or — ifyou're up for the challenge — freshly roasted chestnuts. For a richer soup, I suggest using cream; 2 percent milk is best if you' re looking to save calories.

1. Warm 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat.

Add shallots and celery, and saute 3-5 minutes.

2.Add potatoes and mushrooms, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until mushrooms have released most of their liquid.

3. Add broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10-1 2 minutes.

4. Add chestnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, rosemary, sage, salt, pepper and cream. Turn off heat, and let cool for 10 minutes before pureeing.

5. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth; return to the pot over low heat. Stir occasionally until the soup is thoroughly heated, about 10 minutes.

6. Just prior to serving, stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter for added creaminess and depth of flavor. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Garnish individual bowls with fresh herbs and chopped chestnuts, if desired.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Warm up a chilly evening with this healthy chickenand-vegetable ramen noodlebowl recipe.For a little spice, top with hot sauce, such as Sriracha. Look for dried, curly Chinese-style noodles near other Asian ingredients in most well-stocked supermarkets. For a substitute, try wholewheat angel hair pasta and cook for a few minutes longer. re,

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add water, miso, soy sauce and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; bring to a boil. Stir in chicken, bok choy, noodles and mushrooms. Cover and return to a boil.

Uncover, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with the scallion greens.

Recipe notes: In this warming ramen-noodle bowl, miso — afermented soybean paste — adds a deep, rich umami flavor. Look for mild-flavored white (sweet) miso, made with soy and rice, near tofu at well-stocked supermarkets. It will keep in the refrigerator for at least a year.

Sister tired of trying to be 'saved' by family DEAR ANNIE: I was raised in a devout Catholic family. When my husband and I married 30 years ago, we independently decided to leave the religious fold, but we never imposed our views on others. My eight siblings live within close proximity of each other, and I live 3,000 miles away.

Over the years, most of my family has never missed an opportunity to impose their religious views on me.

Even though I have made it clear that I am not interested, I am often subjected to family members sending me religious material, making o6'hand cynical remarks about my soul,

Annie's Mailbox most of my siblings have had major life problems (affairs, money issues, fraud, child abuse), but my husband and Ihave had none ofthat.W ehave welcomed my family into our home on many occasions, treating them to fantastic stays in our city, which is a vacation destination.

What do I do? —NUMBER EIGHT DEAR EIGHT: You are not going to convince your family, especially Louise, to stop trying to "save" you. So we recommend you stop being drawn in. It's annoying to be sure, but not worth your time. When they email you material that you find offensive, send it to the trash folder. Ignore the remarks. When they try to make you feel guilty, respond politely,'Thanks for your concern," and walk away. You may need to limit contact with family m embers who areespecially difficult, but please try not to be so angry. It serves no purpose and only makes them redouble their efforts.

Chest radiation may affect heart disease risk DEAR DR ROACH:I am a 66-yearold woman who had early-stage breast cancer and routine sessions of radiation after a lumpectomy. Everything went very well. Less than two years later, I had a mild silent heart attack. I have always been healthy. My high blood pressure has been checked routinely and controlled with medicine, in later years.

Radiation can harden and clog coronary arteries. The article also mentioned that it may be beneficial to be on heart medication as a preventive measure during breast care and radiation.

VK52 Shan Huangfrom Canada made a successful t J9 abnormal play that talked South into going down in his four-spade contract.

Now 2V declarer ruffed the diamond five in his hand, Pass played a spade to dummy's king (necessary), All Pass and discarded a club on the diamond 10.

If West had ruffed low, his spade ace and partner's queen would have crashed together on the next round of trumps. South would have lost only two spades and one diamond, ruffing his third heart in the dummy.

Anticipating that, Huang ruffed with his spade ace and exited with a club. Now declarer won with the club ace, cashed the club king, and ruffed a club in his hand.

Imagine his shock when West overruffed with his 10. A moment later, East's spade queen took the setting trick.

That was a great falsecard, but South ought to have realized that if East did have those last two trumps, the contract was unmakable; declarer was destined to lose three spades and one diamond. He should have led another round of trumps.

Dauth ably leads Tioga

past Legacy The T ioga T i mberwolves kicked off2016 with a 76-28 Mountain Valley League victory M onday night o n t h e road at Able Charter.

T ioga j u n io r J. W .

Dauth had a quiet night for his standards. Dauth scored 27 points,pulled down 10 rebounds and had six assists. The 27 points seems was short from the 43 and 40 points he put up in the last two games, but it was still a game-high almost matching the output from the Legacy.

The Timberwolves led 24-9 after the first quarter and 32-20 at halftime.

After leading 53-24 after three quarters,Tioga finished with a s t rong fourth quarter, outscoring Able Charter 23-4.

Austin Pruitt scored 15 points and had five assists, Josh S k elley had 14 points and nine rebounds, Jack Pomeroy scored seven, Mike Ridgley scored six, Zach Reynosa had five and Will Cook scored two.

Tioga (2-1, 1-0 MVL) will host Don Pedro Friday at 5 p.m.

PREVIEW Continued from PageC1 game, and its only loss was courtesy of Chavez, 74-49.

The main player Calaveras has tostop is 6-foot-7 senior Ryan Halvorson, who is averaging 20 points per game.

"They have one big boy (Halvorson) who is very, very good and everything goes around him," said Calaveras interim head coach Dale Clifton. "If we can slow him down, we may have a chance.

They are just a very aggressive team. They play a tenacious defense and we are going tohave tobe on top ofour game to win."

Calaveras (10-3) enters tonight's game outscoring its opponents by an average of 58-47. The Redskins lost to Lincoln twice, and fell Saturday 71-65 to unbeaten Liberty Ranch.

Calaveras is led by seniors Jake Land, Brandon Cline, and Dylan Byrd.

Sonora opens its season tonight against Bret Harte at Bud Castle Gym. The Wildcats (8-4) enter tonight's game having won six of their lasteight games.

Sonora placed third at last week's Columbia College Holiday Classic Tournament with wins over El Capitan and Escalon.

The 'Cats are averaging 64 points per game and have twice scored 80 or more and three times have finished with 70 or more.

Sonora is led by 5-foot-10 junior Nate Patterson. The Wildcats are also getting a big push from sophomores Damian Kress, Jace Decker and Rico Sanchez.

"It is important that our

sophomores play well, but I think that one of the reasons why they are playing well is because of the chemistry of our team and they all get along," Sonora head coach Dan Dona said. "Our juniors and one healthy senior don't get jealous. I think the parents and the kids have bought into what we are doing."

Though Sonora is 8-4, it has had a number of obstacles put in its way. From not having players who played football until mid-December,

RAIDERS Continued from PageC1 L.A. suburb of Carson. The players and coaches spent the day packing up and putting closure on a 7-9 season that featured significant improvement for a franchise that had just 11 wins the previous three years combined.

"One of the biggest things is, if it happens a couple of times and you see them slack off in games, as a coach, you worry about that," Eltringham said. "But they don' t slack o6' and they play hard every game. We just need to focus on the small things in games, that we don't all the time. It's a turnover here or a missed free throw there. And they are getting it now. They also have hard-nosed personalities and they aren't going to break."

Though Bret Harte has a losing record, it is still outscoring opponents 51-50 on average.

Summerville will not begin MLL play until Friday, when it hosts Sonora. The Bears play Escalon on the road tonight in their preseason finale.

While owner Mark Davis has expressed interest in staying in Oakland, the city has yet to come up with a firm financing plan to build a new stadium. That has led to the interest in going back to Los Angeles, where the Raiders played &om 1982-94.

"We have had alot ofadversity," Dona said. "Obviously, losing Charlie early in the year hurt us. Now, we are starting to pick up the pieces with the long football season.

I'd say we are a week behind where I'd like to be at this time."

Sonora's opponent, Bret Harte, perhaps is the most unlucky team in the MLL. The Bullfrogs (6-7) have lost four games by six points or less including a 60-57 road loss Saturday against Mariposa. Even with the close losses, head coach Jeff Eltringham doesn't see any quit with his players.

Chargers, Raiders, Rams file for relocation SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Rams filed for relocation to the Los Angeles area on Monday night, trying not to be left out in the race to return the NFL to the na-

The Chargers want to p artner with t h e A F C West rival Raiders on a stadium in Carson.

C~ cha i rman Dean Spanos has had the right to leave San Diego since 2008, but the team's long, contentious efForts to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium became more essive after Rams owner Stan Kroenke announced plans to build a stadium in Inglewood.

The NFL confirmed it received the applications to movefor the 2016 season. They will be reviewed by league staff and three committees of owners that will meet in New York on Wednesday and Thursday.

All owners will meet in Houston next week and are expected to vote on whether to allow any of the teams to move. A team wanting to move needs 24 of 32 votes.
