When Columbia College Health Services coordinator Laureen Campana started her job as college nurse 17 years ago, she soon noticed that a quarter of students who came in needed mental health help. Four years later she was able to start the college' s mental health services program. It has a half-time licensed marriage and family therapist on staff to help and refer students in need. "Stress is the No. 1 issue that afFects student success," Campana said. Stress can manifest itself in a variety of manners, including physical and mental ways, like lowering the immune system or causing anxiety or depression. These days, colleges around the nation,

Medical marijuana growing limits may be expanded

=,,

By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

A recommendation approved Wednesday night by the Tuolumne County Planning Commission would allow residents in the unincorporated area with medical marijuana prescriptions to grow over twice as many plants as originally proposed. The county is in the process of developing an ordinance that would, for the first time in Tuolumne County, allow residents with valid prescriptions to legally grow medical marijuana on their property. After hearing from about a half-dozen medical marijuana advocates at Wednesday's meeting, the commission decided to unanimously recommend increasing the number of plants one could grow outdoors to 12 for an individual and 24 for multiple prescription-holders living at thesame residence. When theTuolumne County Board of Supervisors approved sending theproposed ordinance to the commission for review on Jan. 5, it called for allowing six to 12 plants. The commission said patients should also be allowed to grow as many plants as they can fit within a 100-square-foot space inside their home. The recommendation would allow people to grow both indoors and outdoors at the

"They haven't been able to prove one way or another that it's unsafe," she said.'You have to have proof like any other crime." Several at the meeting who said six to 12 pot plants wasn't enough urged the commission to endorse the same rules as Mariposa County, which allows 12 to 24. Commissioner John LaTorre spoke in favor of increasing the limit after hearing the arguments. "I don't think we need to go so low to regulate the large grows, and I think we' re creating problems for the legal growers," he said. Commissioner Peter Rei also suggested reducing a 50-foot setback requirement for outdoorgrows to 25 feet,because the larger setback would cut out people who don't own a lot of land.

Part of thereason for proposing the regulations stems from a March 1 deadline set by medical marijuana passed last year will take effect. Another reason is due to repeated complaints from residents in the Lake Don Pedro area, who say large-scale marijuana grows have taken over their neighborhood. Pictures submitted by a Don Pedro resident were posted on the wall in the meeting room that showed multiple grows with hundreds of plants. A man &om Don Pedro who attended Wednesday's meeting said he wasn't against people growing small amounts of marijuana for themselves, but he wanted the county to put an end to the larger grows like the one near his home that keeps him awake at night because of the stench and armed guards patrolling the crop. Several of the medical marijuana advocates who spoke at Wednesday's meeting denounced the large grow sites in Don Pedro. ''Why is the sheriff not doing something about someone walking around with a gun in a pot patch?" asked Soulsbyville resident Jon Simonian, who would like to legally grow medical marijuana for himself and his wife. 'That kind of upsets me." Tuolumne County Sheri8"s OKce spokeswoman Sgt. Andrea Benson said narcotics investigators say California medical marijuana laws make them unable to shut down such grows when the growers have a valid recommendation, which she believed they did in the case of Don Pedro.

aAer the meeting that he was pleased with the changes. "This is probably the biggest win we' ve had in this whole situation," he said. The Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors plans to hold a final public hearing and consider approving the regulations Feb. 2. The proposedordinance is intended to be temporary while a working group is formed to look at developing more detailed regulations. Also at Wednesday's meeting, the commission unanimously approved a 100-foot Verizon cell tower on Pine Mountain Lake Golf Course near Groveland. The tower was requested by Pine Mountain Lake residents, who submitted a petition to Verizon in March 2015 that was signed by hundreds in the subdivision.

PGBE estimates the proposal's total cost will be $654 million. At the request of the CPUC, on October 15, 201 5, PG8 E filed two proposals for a gradual

implementation of the program. The first proposal is for 24-months, at a cost of $87 million. The alternate proposal ls for 36-months at a cost of $222 million. Both proposals are currently under CPUC consideration. Under both proposals, PG&E would deploy EV charging infrastructure at sites to help achieve California's greenhouse gas reduction goals by expanding the use of electricity as a cleaner transportation fuel.

Flint residents feeling Judge: Putin 'probably slight by government approved' killing agent

Clean Power Plan pending a review

FLINT, Mich. (AP) Ever since the full extent of the Flint water crisis emerged, one question has persisted: Would this have happened in a wealthier, whiter community? Residents in the former

auto-making hub — a poor, largely minority city — feel their c omplaints a bout lead-tainted water flowing through their taps have been slighted by the government or ignored altogether. For many, it echoes the lacklusterfederal response to New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The frustration has mostly been directed at Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, who appointed an emergency manager to run Flint. That manager approved a plan in 2013 to begin drawing

drinking water from the Flint River, and the city began doing so the next year. But officials failed to treat the corrosive water properly to prevent metal leaching from old pipes. "We' ve had a city in the United States of America where t h e po p ulation, which is poor i n m a ny ways and majority AfricanAmerican, has been drinking and bathing in leadcontaminated water. And the governorof that state acted as though he didn' t really care," Clinton said. Snyder "had requests for help that he had basically stone-walled. I' ll tell you what: If the kids in a rich suburb of Detroit had been drinking co n t aminated water and being bathed in it, there would've been action."

LONDON (AP) — Almost a decade after former KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko lay dying in a London hospital bed, a British judge has concluded who poisoned him: two Russian men, act-

ing at the behest of Russia's securityservices, probably with approval from President Vladimir Putin. That finding prompted sharp exchanges Thursday between London and Moscow, and a diplomatic dilemma for both countries. With Russia and the West inching closertogether after years of strain, neither side wants a new feud — even over a

state-sanctioned murder on British soil. Judge Robert Owen, who led the public inquiry into the killing, said he was certain that two Russians with links to the security services

had given Litvinenko green tea containing a fatal dose of radioact ive polonium-210 during a meeting at a London hotel. He said there was a "strong probability" that Russia's FSB, the successor to the Soviet Union's KGB spy agency, directed the killing and that the operation was "probably approved" by Putin, then as now the president of Russia. Before he died, Litvinenko accused Putin of ordering his killing, but Owen's reportis the fi rst public official statement linking the Russian president to the crime, and it sent a chilling jolt through U.K-Russia relations. British Prime Minister David Cameron said the evidenceinthereportof"statesponsored" killing was "absolutely appalling."

tract.

The new contract with Aramark will not be public until March 1, Gediman said. A prospectus seeking bids was issued in July 2014 by Park Service officials in the nation's capital. "We put that out &om our Washington office. There's no secrets, but it's such a big contract our Washington office put that together and distributed it. Based on the bids, more than one, it was decided to award to Aramark. The competitive bidding process was the only factor in the awarding of the contract," he said. The Park Service contract with Delaware North dates back to 1993, and was extended in 2008, Gediman said. The contract is more than 570 pages, with amendments

including a transport operations plan for the Yosemite High Sierra Camp Helicopter and Helitack Crew for the 2013 operating season.

'Flawed estimate' The Government Accounting Office decision from April 14, 2015 shows DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite challenged a bid-seeking document issued by the Department of Interior, National Park Service. The Park Service was seeking bids for a 15-year concession contract to operate, maintain, and make improvements

to facilities in Yosemite National Park and at the El Portal administrative site. The federal agency was seeking bids because the existing contract with Delaware North was due to expire at the end of February 2016. Even though the Park Service did not submit a report to the GAO, the Government Accounting Office dismissed Delaware North's protest. The GAO decision sheds light on how Delaware North claimed rights to landmark names and other properties in Yosemite. Delaware North argued the bid-seeking document was based on "a fiawed estimate of the initial capital investment" that a new concessioner would have to pay for Delaware North's existing assets in Yosemite. The document anticipated the award of a 15-year contract. According to the GAO, the new Yosemite concessioner would be required to pay the Park Service a portion of gross receipts, ora 'franchise fee." The bid-seeking document issued by the Park Service includedestimates forgrossreceiptsin 2016 for theYosemite concessioner of $129 million to $142.6 million. Based onthat estimate, totalgross receipts over the 15yearterm ofthecontractareanticipated between $1.935 billion and $2.139 billion, the GAO decision states.

'Intangible Other Property'

the concessioner would be required to spend money on servicesover and above maintaining spaces itusesto operate its business, according to the GAO. "Forexample,the concessioner willberequired toprovide snow removal, litter removal, and maintenance, including paving and painting, to NPS's Yosemite History Center and Hill Studio parking lot, which is not a concession facility," the GAO decision states. "The concessioner will also be required to provide the agency with all necessary medical supplies and equipment at the Badger Pass Ranger Station. Additionally, the concessioner must provide complimentary visitor transportation services, including operating three pre-established shuttle routes and after-hours, on-demand visitor and employee transportation services."

According to a draft contract cited by the GAO, the concessioner also will be required to allow National Park Service vehicles torefuelatthe concessioner'sgas stations. Delaware North estimated the value of these goods and services would be about $1.9 million a year, or a total of $28.6 million over the life of the contract.

who received mental health services increased nearly 16 percent, the RAND s t udy found. According to the California Mental Health Services Authority, student mental health programs have succeeded in increasing student m ental health support by "improving the capacity of individual campuses to more quickly identify and intervene with students at risk of mental health challenges and by reducing the stigma students face around mental health needs." The RAND study found that as many as 329 additional students will graduate for each year of investment in programs that promote mental health on campus. Oxford says she sees students from 16 to 80 from all walks of life. On any given day she could have students who are having roommate trouble, financial problems, major life issues like a home burning down, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, to text anxiety.The Butte Fire affected many students in different ways, Oxford said. ''When there's s t r essors in the community, you see it here," she said.

counting Office. The GAO said its people, not the contracting agency, should determine if a protest was within the GAO's jurisdiction. GAO officials concluded the Park Service refusal to provide a report in response to the Delaware North protest was "inconsistent with its legal obligations under the Competition in Contracting Act." Delaware North argued the Park Service valuation of intangible other property, $3.5 million, was far below Delaware North's valuation, $51.2 million. Nevertheless, the GAO dismissed Delaware North's pro-

Sonora Police Chief Mark Stinson did not return calls seeking comment on the impact of the Facebook groups.

The beginning Baker, owner of Triple L Ranch in Jamestown, began listening to scanners when he was about 12 years old. In 2005,he created the website, www.incidentfeed.corn, which features an online scanner. The Facebook group started eight years later, in July 2013 — and broadened the reach. Baker and three others monitor the page daily. Social media is a common gathering place for people, Baker said, and the goal of the Incident Feed is to keep the public informed on what is going on within the county. Baker uses a variety of equipment, including a scanner, which picks up multiple channels including the Sonora Police D epartment, Sheriff's Office and CAL Ere dispatch.

Mike Shevlin, of Sonora, is founder of the Gold Country FireEMS and Law Enforcement Facebook page. He listens to scanner feeds about an hour a day, and operates the group mostly from home.

With over 7,000 members, Shevlin, along with six others, monitor the group, which covers both Tuolumne and Calaveras Counties. Shevlin said the goal is to notify the public of incidents "to save lives and property." On Thursday, the feed included information about firefighters standing by after someone sucked live embers with a vacuum, responding to a possible heart attack, a traffic hazard in San Andreas, and fires in Copperopolis and Angels Camp. Between Shevlin and his administrators, there isabout 247 coverage, he said. "If there was an active shooter down the street from me and I was at work and my kids were home alone — I would want to know," he said. Shevlin utilizes a variety of equipment, including a scanner, which picks up all law enforcement and CAL Fire dispatch channels. His administrators also listen to scanner feeds. Shevlin, now retired, is a former general manager for a largecontainer freight operation in the Bay Area. He moved from Antioch to Copperopolis in 2004, where he lived until 2012.

It's a busy time of year for Girl Scouts. Annual Girl Scout cookie sales have begun, and deliveries and on-site sales will begin in Tuolumne and Calaveras Feb. 19 and run through March 13. For $5 a box, cookie-lovers can partake in Thin Mints, Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Shortbread,Peanut Butter Sandwich, Cranberry Citrus Crisps, Lemonades, Rah-Rah Raisins, Savannah Smiles, Thanks-A-Lot, Toffee-tastic or Trios. W hile la argeportion ofthe cookiesalesgoback to the Girl Scout organization to reimburse the cost of cookies, each scout receives 90 cents from each box sold, said Services Team Manager Lynne St. Clair, of Sonora. Also, 10 cents of every package sold pays for scout sales recognitions, which include rewards of T-shirts, stuffed animals and other memorabilia for selling certain amounts, St. Clair said. The troop that sells the most cookies is awarded a special camping trip. Individual troops then decide how they want to spend the money they made, reserving a small amount for supplies, as the only fee Girl Scouts pay is an annual $15 registration. Troops in the past have saved up their earnings for trips to New York, Washington, D.C., cruises and even international trips, St. Clair said. Troop leader Nicole Rager's Twain Harte troop is saving up for a trip to Disneyland. Some troops also choose to donate their money to certain groups, like the humane society or women' s shelters. Tessa Hunter, 20, of Sonora, remembers selling cookies in front of the Jamestown Harley-Davidson shop when she was about 8 years old. "We had to go up to people and ask them if they wanted cookies. I was a really shy person so I had trouble going up to them, but the troop helped me," she said. Hunter said being a Girl Scout also taught her honesty, fairness and consideration. There are 22 troops of approximately 175 scouts in Tuolumne County, St. Clair said. In Calaveras County, there are 19 troops made of 217 girls. Troops are made up of anywhere from five to 25 girls in kindergarten through 12th grade. New troops usually start with a parent information night at a school and then go from there. Adultleaders arealways needed, St.Clair said. Troop meetings consist mostly of work toward "badges" based on a series called "Journeys," which cover a range of topics including outdoor education, self improvement, community service, science, math, crafts and many others. "There is something for every girl," St. Clair said. "They are the decision-makers about what they want to do." See SCOUTS/Page B2

Bills gender-breaking assistant was 3-sport star BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Competing in lacrosse, swimming and bowling in high school wasn't enough for Kathryn Smith. Come fall, she would spend most Friday nights on the football sideline helping her father, Robert, track statistics for Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse, New York. Little did anyone envision some 15 years later that Smith's passion for sports would lead her to become the NFL's first full-time female assistant coach. 'That's just her nature that whatever she's doing, she's certainly going to jump in head first," Christian Brothers athletic director John Wleklinski said Thursday.

"She goes&om beingsomeone hard-working, doing the right stuff, to all of a sudden being the answer to a trivia question. And it couldn't happen to a nicer person," Wleklinski added.uYou couldn't have foreseen this happening. I don't think anybody could. But all that we are is just proud in knowing that she worked hard to get to where she is. She earned this." Wleklinski spoke fondly of Smith a day after coach Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills broke the league's gender barrier by promoting the 30-year-old to be their special teams quality control coach. "I appreciate Rex Ryan giving me this opportu-

attention generated in the past 24 hours has been extraordinary. However, my focus remains on my job responsibilities and helping the team win." She has 12 seasons of NFL experience, starting in various internship roles with the New York Jets. And she got her coaching break because of Ryan, who first recognized Smith's potential when he was hired as the Jets coach in 2009. Ryan brought Smith along with him to Buffalo last year, and she spent this season as an administrative assistant for the Bills assistant coaches.

The Summerville Bears wrestling team picked up two wins Wednesday night with a 54-24 win over Sierra Ridge/ROP and a 40-19 win over a combined Bret Harte and Argonaut. "The team came out firing on all cylinders and beat two teams we were expected to beat," said Summerville head coach Jordan DePaoli. "I was very impressed with our ability to match and then overcome the physicality that ROP always brings to the table. JT McCready showed leadership through his actions and set the tone for our team. Devin Conklin did the same and the rest of the boys followed their lead. I was proud of our effort and we need to continue to push the pace with our matches. This team consistently proves that we will not always be the most athletic wrestlers, but we will grind victories out and win matches in the third round. It's a testament to their hard work in the room." Against Sierra Ridge, Summerville got pins from Brennan Dibble (108), Devin Conklin (140) JT McCready (154) and Nathaniel Ulvevadet (184). Against Bret Halte/Argonaut, the Bears got pins from Conklin, McCready, Carson Caya (222) and Jarrett Brunette (HWT). Summerville (5-1) has a big battle with Sonora (5-1) Feb. 3 at Bud Castle Gym. With the two top teams from the MLL going to playoffs, there is a good chance that the winner of the dual will get the second spot behind Calaveras (6-0) "We are looking forward to the challenges that Sonora will give us and I can't wait to see how it plays out in two weeks," DePaoli said. "The last playoff spot is on the line and I feel we can earn that." DePaoli (top) talks with Ulvevadet earlier in January. McCready (bottom) works a match against Calaveras in Tuolumne.

NFL Patriots offense brims with confidence thanks to some health FOXBOROUGH, M a ss. (AP) — For the New England Patriots offense, health has been a fieeting commodity this season.

Panthers QB Newton confident, thriving in 5th season at helm CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — In the waning moments of a strange 35-35 game against the New York Giants, as thingsseemed to be collapsing all around him and tempers were flaring after every whistle, Cam Newton stood calmly on the sideline, his hands tucked firmly inside his shoulder pads near his neck as he nodded his head confidently. Sure, the Carolina Panthers had just squandered a 28-point lead on the road, but Newton's locked-in facial expression was that of a man who seemed to know he had the game in the bag. He just knew. Such is the demeanor of Newton, who has gone from Heisman Trophy winner and national champion at Auburn to No. 1 pick in the draft and now, in his fiith season, a leading MVP candidate for the NFL's best team. "I don't get nervous," Newton said bluntly. "I' ve been playing football too long for

Homeland Security head addresses baseball owners CORAL GAB LES, Fla. (AP) — With worries about terrorism heightened following attacks in France and California, baseball owners began their two-day meeting Wednesday by discussing threat protection with the U.S. Homeland Security secretary. Presenting more t han 2 ,400 games a year in venues that attract

large crowds, Major League Baseball has tightened checks in recent years. Starting last year, fans were required to go through metal detectors at all 30 ballparks. "There's got to be more security than there is now, I don't know what it will be," Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf said Wednesday. "Everybody realizes that the world

has changed and these people are never going to give up, so we have to give up some of our comforts." ARer arriving in a seven-car motorcade, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson addressed owners forapproximately an hour and took about a half-dozen of their questions. Teams want to know what layers to add. "His message was more of the same: recognize the new realities," Atlanta Braves chairman emeritus Bill Bartholomay said. "Radicalization is something that doesn't necessarilyhave totakeplaceoutsidethe United States." Bartholomay said Johnson cited the attack in San Bernardino, California, as an example. Johnson did

not stop to speak with media when he left the building. "He pointed out some very interesting things that we all need to pay attention to, because we are part of

maintaining public safety," Miami Marlins President David Samson said. 'What we try to do is walk the line between safety and enjoyment. ... The balance is really hard to walk, and what Secretary Johnson pointed out is that our most important job is to walk that balance and to be very aware when you' re getting too far one way or the other." According to Samson, Johnson told the group a stadium could be 100 percent secure if additional steps were taken, such as prohibiting fans from bringing any bags,

and eliminating food and food-services workers. Checking the trunks and bottoms of cars entering parking lots outside ballparks could be another step discussed at some point. Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney said last weekend the team is working with the city of Chicago to try to limit game-daytraff ic on Clark and Addison streets outside Wrigley Field to emergency vehicles, city buses and pedestrians. At many ballparks, there is no room foralargersecurityperimeter. "Our space outside the stadium is pretty cramped, but we' re going to do what we' re asked to do," Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said.

The meetings, which end Thursday, are the last before the likely start of collective bargaining with the players' association for a labor contractto replace the deal that expires next Dec. 1. Even before

talks with the union, owners have to determine their b argaining positions on key economic issues such revenue-sharing, the luxury tax threshold and rates, and whether management wants to push harder for an international

amateur draft. Management and the union have spent the ofFseason discussing whether a rules change is needed for 2016 to protect middle infielders

MLB unsure of timing in Chapman, Puig and Reyes probes CORAL GAB LES, Fla. (AP) — Major League Baseball still is unsure when it will complete investigations of New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig and Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes under the sport's new domestic violence policy. Under the agreement last August between MLB and the players' association, discipline is not dependent

on a criminal conviction. But baseball Commissioner Rob Man&ed said Thursday that legal probes impact baseball's inquiry. "I would love to have these resolvedbefore we begin play again," Manfred said. "The one thing I' ve learned about these cases is timing is not mine, right? You have to really rely on the criminal process playing out in order to put yourself in a position that you' re comfortable to actu-

ally know what the facts are." Players may be disciplined for "just cause," the same standard used underthe sport' scollective bargaining agreement. Discipline can be appealedto baseball' s independent arbitrator. ''When you have a new policy,the first ones take on a special significance in terms of tone and precedent and all those things," Man&ed said. "So I'm going to make sure that I

know everythmg I could possibly know about each of these cases before I make any decisions." Florida prosecutorsdecided notto file charges against Chapman, whose girlfriend told officers he pushed her, put his hands around her neck and choked herduring an argument in October. Broward Assistant State Attorney Stefanie Newman wrote in a close-out memo Wednesday that conflicting accounts and insufficient

evidence made a conviction unlikely. Puig sustained a swollen eye and facial bruises during a fight with a bouncer in Miami in November.

Reyes was released afier posting $1,000bailand issued a warning citation to have no contact with his wife for three days after he was arrested Oct. 31 at a resort in Hawaii. He pleaded not guilty to a charge of abuse of a family or household member.

YARD CARE & MASONRY

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED 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 call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail

ANSWER: Balanitis, inflammation of the foreskin, is a commonproblem in men who have not undergone circumcision, especially older men with diabetes. Many conditions may predispose a man to the development of balanitis, but infections — bacterial, viral and especially fungalare most common. If not properly treated, it can lead to phimosis, the inability to retract the foreskin, which can in turn lead tosexualandurinaryproblems. I have seen several patients who have needed circumcision, which is indeed the only option for men once the condition has significantly progressed. Circumcision in adults ha8 a low rate of complications, but the longer you wait, the higher the risk, so I wouldadviseyou tocarefullyconsider the advice of your urologist, who has far moreinformation aboutyou than Ido.

sis. I have asked two exterminators to rid

me of them, but they said they cannot take care of mites. Do you have a solution?M.F. ANSWER: Dust mites are nearly ubiquitous. They colonize mattresses and bedding, sofasand carpets.Although they don't bite, they can cause allergic reactions, especiallyoftherespiratorysystem, such as sneezing, runny nose and cough. They alsocan exacerbate asthma, and there is some evidence that they can also worsen chronic skin conditions like ec-

zema orpossibly psoriasis.They absorb water from the air and, unpleasantly, feed on shed human skin cells. EfFective methods of controlling dust mites include physical barriers (specially designedmattress and pillow covers), frequent (at least weekly) washing of bedding in hot water and vacuuming carpets and upholstered furniture with a HEPA61ter vacuum. Keeping humidity below 50 percent canbeveryefFectiveifpracticable. Readersmay write Dn Roach, MD., at 628 Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32803

Today in history Today is Friday, Jan. 22, the 22nd day of 2016. There are 344 days left in the year. Today's Highlights in History: On Jan. 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its Roe v. Wade decision, legalized abortions using a trimester approach. Former President Lyndon B. Johnson died at his Texas ranch at age 64. On this date: In 1498, during his third voyage to the Western Hemisphere, Christopher Columbus arrived at the present-day Caribbean island of St. Vincent. In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson pleaded for an end to war in Europe, calling for "peace without victory " (By April however Amenca also was at war.) In 1938, Thornton Wilder's play "Our Town" was performed publicly for the first time in Princeton, New Jersey. In 1944, during World War II, Allied forces began landing at Anzio, Italy. In 1968, "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" premiered on NBC-TV. In 1970, the first regularly scheduled commercial flight of the Boeing 747 began in New York and ended in London some 6 1/2 hours later. In 1984, the Los Angeles Raiders defeated the Washington Redskins 38-9 to win Super Bowl XVIII (18) at Tampa Stadium in Florida; the CBSTV broadcast featured Apple Computer's famous "1984" commercial introducing the Macintosh computer. In 1995, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy died at the Kennedy compound at Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, at age 104. In 2008, actor Heath Ledger was found dead of an accidental prescription overdose in New York City; he was 28.

At the worst, West takes this trick and shifts to a club. Then you must hope that West has one of the high clubs (as you must if hearts are 3-0). For the second question, giving a bidding sequence after East opens one diamond, please refer to the diagram (but I accepted anything sensible). In my auction, North's two-diamond cuebid shows heart support and at least game-invitational values. The winner will be announced in the column of Saturday, March 19.
