Yosemite names changes

Concessioner strikes back at Park Service By GUY McCARTHY The Union Democrat

CalaverasCounty

The National Park Service is changing names of historic landmarks in Yosemite to devalue so-called intellectual property, which has resulted in unfair competition, Dela-

ware North said in a court filing this week. The amended complaint filed Monday in federal court claims if the property has less value, the Park Service will get more money from Aramark, the new concessioner, in the form of franchise fees

to operate visitor services in Yosemite. Delaware North subsidiary DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite, Inc., sued the Park Service in September, accusing the Park Service of breaching its contract terms with the concessioner.

Buffalo-based Delaware North, spurned by the Park Service in June when Aramark of Philadelphia was selected, claims it owns intellectual property r i ghts that include the names of landmarks such as The Ahwahnee Hotel, Curry Village,

Yosemite Lodge at the Falls, Badger Pass Ski Area and the Wawona Hotel. The Park S ervice announced Jan. 14 it intends to change the names of those landmarks and others, deflatSee YOSEMITE /Back Page

timated population increase of about 10,000 residents by 2040. Most of the land in the county — roughly 78 percent of the 1.45 million acres — is owned and managed by federal,state or localgovernment agencies, while the remaining 22 percentconsists largely of timber preserve zones and agricultural land under conser-

vation agreements. As little as 3.21 percent of the land in the county is developable, according to some estimates. In all, the proposed changes to the plan would pave the way for the addition of more than 5,000 homes, 938,000 square feet of commercial development and 1 96,000 squarefeet of industrial development.

If they failed to do so,each will be signed," Ramey said.cWe've municipality would have to defer to worked with him closely regarding state as being sole licensing authori- the prospect. We feelvery confident ty, according to Caslin Tomaszewski, he will sign it." The Union Democrat

Ramey said AB 21 will give local governments more time to learn about the industry and develop good policies. He added that many jurisdictions felt like they did not have the time to put together a comprehensive policy. "If they have more time, they could be more thoughtful," Ramey said. On Tuesday, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors met to discuss an urgency ordinance regarding cannabis, though the topic was ultim atelytabled.The supervisors are scheduled to resume discussion next month. Supervisor Michael Oliveira said the board has some areas yet to work through. "There are several issues in the ordinance itself we have not agreed

on," Oliveira said. 'There is still some more work to be done." Oliveira said a public study group will be held on Feb. 16 for residents for and against cannabis cultivation. It is from the study group that the basis and the vision for the regulations will be established. The plan is to come back a week later,on Feb.23,to address the issue. But if the March 1 deadline is removed, Oliveira said the county will be afforded more time to take a detailed look into the ordinance. 'The big problem with the board is taking our time instead of flushing it through," Oliveira said. "Hopefully we'll have the state do what it needs to do. It will give us breathing room. I know we have to do it, but it just

has to be done correctly." While Calaveras County is still in the formative stage for its cannabis statutes, the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on Feb. 2 in regard to adopting an ordinance. The proposed ordinance would allow six medical marijuana plants per qualified patient or caregiver per parcel. Cultivation can increase to 12 plants per property if two or more qualified patients or caregivers live there. The proposed ordinance will allow for cultivation outdoors and

indoors. The county ordinance will also allow for mobile deliveries of cannabis, but will not permit dispensary operations.

Mother Lode forecast calls for rain, snow through Sunday By TORI THOMAS The Union Democrat

A winter storm is expected to hit the Mother Lode, beginning today, according to the National Weather Service. Idamis Del Valle, meteorologist at the NWS in Sacramento, said 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected to hit this evening, across the region. Rain and snow is expected Friday, with the more mountainous regions seeing the

heaviest amounts. Snow levels are expected to be above 8,000 feet on Friday, Del Valle said. 'They will be falling to 4,000 feet on Saturday," she added. Del Valle said with the storm, which is traveling from the Pacific Ocean, there is potential for landslides on burn scars — land that has been previously burned during past wildfires. M oderate temperatures are

expected Friday, with a high of 58 degrees in Sonora and highs in the 40s in the mountains.

On Saturday, 6 to 8 inches of snow is expected, with temperatures expected to range from the 30s in mountains, to the 50satlower elevations. "For Sunday, it could be up to 6 inches of snow," Del Valle said.

The storm is expected to end by Sunday night, Del Valle said.

The vehicle had expired registration, and the driver was crossing over double-yellow lines, Benson said. "When they tried to initiate the trafIic stop, he accelerated," she said, adding that it was not a high-speed pursuit. The driver then turned onto Ridgewood Court, where he abandoned the vehicle and fled down a steep embankment, Benson said. "He had a hat and a (brown) wig on and left that at the scene as he went down the embankment," she said.

They enjoyed the country life together raising livestock, including a few unusual animals, llamas, a miniature donkey, and a few peacocks. The country life was shared with their family, hosting holiday feasts, reunions large'and small. Royce was always ready to be the consummate host of these events. They frequently attended local social events and loved western dancing. Alfred Royce Whitney, known as Royce Whitney to his family and friends was an avid horseman. Royce kept horses around him throughout his adult life, he trained, bred and rode them for sport and pleasure. Royce enjoyed the "cowboy life" and competed in many local team roping events. He could always be found wearing belt buckles sporting the team roping events he had won. When he wasn't competing at the Mother Lode Roundup Rodeo,in Sonora, he wasworking the "chute".He was a Tuolumne County Sheriff's Posse member for several years. He was a member of the Masonic lodge and a Shriner. As a Shriner he was part of the Aahmes Mounted Patrol drill team, a unique mounted equestrian with all black and white Pinto horses, with custom silver saddles. They were present at many notable parades throughout the years including President Ronald Reagan's Inaugural Parade in Washington D.C., the Pasadena Rose Parade, and local events like the Mother Lode Roundup Parade. Royce was selected as an Honor Guard Member of the unit, and opened many of their drill team events with a high speed mounted run of the U.S. and California flags. Royce participated for several years, in the opening ceremonies of the Grand National Rodeo at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. The chosen charity of this group was the Shriners's Hospitals for Children. Royce's worhng life was in the construction trades installing ceramic tile. He became selfemployed working on many tract homes in the bay area for several years and ultimately ~ provided installations in custom homes. Royce had an artistic eye for the various tile installations, and was sought after by other contractors and homeowners alike. Royce also possessed an artistic soul, he cmn~ a cowboy poem titled "Cricket" an ode to a steed who once stood at the side of highway I 108 just east of Oakdale. It is truly an inside look into this simple man we knew as Royce, dad, grandpa, and of course just cowboy! Royce enjoyed people and did not know a stranger. He always had a story to tell to friends and strangers alike. Royce enjoyed the art of a deal, he of course called it "horse trading" identifying his love of horses. In recent years Royce met a companion Ger Snyder to share his love of horses, country life, and a barn dance social event or two. Royce has certainly left his mark in this world. He will be missed by his family, companion, friends, and even acquaintances who all knew him as a hnd, gentle, and generous person. Royce is preceded in death by his parents, Alfred Ray Whitney and Pearl Stephanie Stephenson, and his sister Norma Turner. In addition to his wife of 37 years, he is survived by his children, William "Bill" Whitney, of Mooresville, NC; Don Whitney, of Brentwood, Ron Whitney, of Livermore, and Roanne Verdie of Oregon; his step-children, Dave Ballard, from Chugiak, Arkansas, Gary Ballard, from Northspur, Brian Ballard, from Tracy; and Lori Harvey, from Livermore; his 18 grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren.

Candidate election tactics hurting GOP

What is a political party? By the intensity of internecine conflict among Republicans, you might conclude that it's a church. Sen. Ted Cruz is among the leading voices of a faction that wants to treat the Republican Party as a confession — singing to the choir, denouncing heretics and damning sinners to hell. This appears to be part conviction and part political calculation on Sen.

Mona

C ruz's

p art.

He's fully convinced that a Republican can win in 2016 by energizing the base. "The evangelical vote," a Cruz strategist told The Cook Political Report, "is the largest unflshed pond of voters — it's a frickin' ocean." Convinced that dispirited white, evangelical voters stayed home in recent elections but can be roused by a sectarian candidate, Cruz barreled into Washington, D.C., in 2013 spitting fire not just at Democrats but at his own party, too. They were all part of the "Washington cartel," he thundered. Republican leaders were not just weak or ineffective — they were treacherous. A terrible thing happened on the way to Cruz's plan to ride popular outrage with his own party to the Republican presidential nomination: Donald Trump offeredan even more attractive brew of misdirected anger and indignation. If the Republican Party is now being hijacked by Trumpkins — and I truly pray that it is not — Sen. Ted Cruz is hardly in a position to protest. He helped stack the tinder for this auto de fe. This is not to say that Republicans have enjoyed unblemished leadership during the Obama yearsbut that's not the point. Cruz indicted the Republican House and Senate leadership, and nearly all of his colleagues, for cowardice and cupidity. It was this, and not Cruz's firm conservatism, that alienated fellow

senators. It was all a carefully choreographed prelude to his bid for a great swell of white, evangelical Protestants he hopes to inspire to his standard. So what is a political party for? The Democrats seem to have long since decided that their party is a coalition of interest groups: blacks, women, gays, Hispanics, Asians and unions. For the past few decades, the Republican Party has rejected identity politics in favor of smaller government and more individual liberty, more free enterprise, a strong national defense and traditional values. The party I joined did not seek to vindicate the interests of white people or the native born or Christian

conservatives. It was open to all who shared its principles. Trump represents a total collapse of Republicanism in favor of nativism, protectionism (that worked so well with Smoot-Hawley) and American-style Putinism. If he were nominated, he would be soundly defeated.Trump is viewed more unfavorably than any other candidate, including Hillary Clinton. He peddles identity politics for white people, but even most white people disdain that. For what it's worth, I could not vote for him, for these and many other reasons. Cruz'sstrategy is a bitsubtler,butalso includes polarizing the nation — thus his dig at "New York values." As outlined by National Review's Eliana Johnson, Cruz's theory rests upon belief in the "missing evangelicals." Many pixels have been expended on the subject of voters who stayed home in 2012. When 42.5 percent of eligible voters refrain from voting, millions of African-Americans, Hispanics and others are also on the list of nonvoters. The case for a wave of previously unmotivated evangelicals flocking to the polls for Cruz is shaky at best. Consider that the last time a Republican won a presidential election (2004), evangelicals comprised 23 percent of the electorate and Bush won 78 percent of their votes.In 2012,they represented 26 percent of voters, and Romney won the same share, 78 percent, but stil llost.Besides, the 2012 drop in voter turnout was much less pronounced in the battleground states that really decided the election than in places like Oklahoma, West Virginia and Arkansas, where an evangelical tide would not have changed the outcome. Or consider the sobering possibility that evangelicals are not all that conservative. Among evangelical voters today, according to an NBC poll, fully 37 percent support Trump, with only 20 percent backing Cruz. As he watched Jerry Falwell Jr. endorse Donald Trump, Sen. Cruz saw his theory circle the drain. The appeal to groups as groups is the bane of modern polit ics.The resort to shrillappeals to "base" voters on either side is shredding our national unity. To succeed, the Republican Party will have to win the votes ofmoderates as well as conservatives in states

such as Florida, Virginia, New Hampshire, Ohio, Colorado and Nevada. A conservative can do that with a straightforward pitch to Americans as Americans. Anything less is unworthy — and unlikely to be successful. Mona Charen is a newspaper columnist, political

it flocks to Iowa. (Just two nationalreporters in Nebraska at the same time would probably constitute a flock.) Iowa has 9 counties divided into about 1,700 precincts, but it is a rural state in which a majority of cities and towns have fewer than 500 residents. Turnout in some precincts is so low that a single family can determine the outcome. It is rare, but not unheard of, for only one voter to show up at caucus. (The parties try to eliminate so-called "ghost precincts," in which nobody shows up.) In more populous precincts, the campaigns often will hold potluck suppers before the caucus hour. This is not just to show friendliness, but to make surepotentialvotersare gathered in one spot, where they then canbe corralled, stuffed into cars and vans and taken totheirvoting sites. Identifying who is likely to vote for your candidate and gettingthose people to do so is the famous "ground game" that is organized by a campaign's "field operation." In 2008, Barack Obama not only beat Hillary Clinton with a more compelling message (hope and change) but with a superior field operation.

theirvotes could be wasted due toIowa's complicated voting rules. 'You don't want to be doing that in the last week, however," the Clinton aide said. "To win this time, a campaign is going to need a meticulous field operation. And I'm not sure they have that." But how about if things go very, very wrong for Clinton and she loses both Iowa and New Hampshire, which follows eight days later? Can she still win the nomination? "I believe so," the aide said. "I'mnever completely relaxed. But we are extremely well-organized. And I believe so." Roger Simon is the chief political columnist for POLITICO. He is an arvard-mi nni ng journalist

Facebookclosesgapwith Google Social network's Internet power continues to grow SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Facebook is growing at an exceptionalpace as itenters adolescence, propelling it into a betterposition tochallenge Google as the Internet's most powerful company. It marked the first ti me

that Facebook's quarterly revenue has surpassed $5 billion — more than fading Internet star Yahoo now generates in an entire year. Facebook's earnings also more than doubled to $1.56 billion, even as the Menlo Park, California, company invests heavily in v irtual reality, artificial intelligence, Internet access in r emote

parts of the world and a mobilead network for services other than its own. The performance lied Facebook's stock by $11.37, or 12 percent, to $105.82 in extended trading after the report came out. Although Google remains three times larger by revenue, Facebook has been closing the gap as it sells more mobile advertising on its addictive social-networking app. And it's just beginning to mine revenue from its trendy Instagram service and a rapidly expanding video library. This spring's debut of the Oculus Rift headset, part of the virtual-reality technology that Facebook bought for $2 billion in 2014, could open another lucrative market. Google is now hiring more virtual-reality special-

ists, a sign that is trying to catch up with Facebook in a still-nascent field that could transform computing. Social networking remains Facebook's foundation. The service picked up another 46 million users during the final three months of last year to expand its worldwide audience to 1.59 billion users. "I'm excited about our progress and the chance to build something great for the future," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told analysts in a Wednesday conference call. Google, now a part of the recently created Alphabet Inc., is thriving too, with more than 1 billion users on its search engine as well as its YouTube video site and its Android software for mobile devices. That makes it unlikely that Facebook will

topple Google anytime soon. Powered by the world' s dominant Internet search engine, Google still sells the most digital advertising by a wide margin. Just how much more will be disclosed Monday, when Alphabet is scheduled to announced its fourth-quarter ea r n ings. Alphabet is expected to report fourth-quarter revenue of nearly $17 billion, after subtracting ad commissions,

nearly triple what Facebook generated during the same three-month period. But consider this: Facebook will be turning 12 years old next week and it just postedrevenue of$5.8 billion in its latest quarter. At the same stageof its existence in September 2010, Google's net revenue stood at$5.5 billion.

Thomas P. McLish of Washington, D.C., and Jennifer A. Shah and Nicolas J. Rotsko of Buffalo, New York, could not be reached for comment. The concessioner contract in Yosemite is considered the most lucrative in the national park system. Aramark's new deal is said to be worth $2.1billion overthe courseof 15 years. In spite of increased entrancefees in 2015, visitation at Yosemite National Park reached a record-high of 4,139,300 last year, exceeding the previous high mark set in 1996, according to data released Wednesday.

nications responded Wednesday, "It's inappropriate for us to comment on the lawsuit filed against the NPS by DNC. As previously stated, we firmly believe the names and trademarks of properties inside the national parks belong to NPS on behalf of the American people."

The National Park Service has economic incentive to have Aramark pay as little as possible for DNCY's property, Delaware North claims. The outgoing concessioner claims the Park Service adopted a strategydesigned to minimize the amount the new concessioner would have to pay DNCY at the commencement of the new contract.

Among other things, the Park Service insisted certain forms of property that DNCY uses in its Yosemite operations, including intellectual property and capital improvements, are not com-

pensable under the new contract.

Park Service strategy also included "taking steps to increasethe negotiating lever-

age" the Park Service and the new concessioner would have in future negotiations with DNCY over the fair value of other property including place names, "and to increase pressure on DNCY

The push to install the plaque, which originally hung from a newly planted tree, was lead by a fellow teacher and summer employee at the shoe store, Frank Borrego, George Perry said. "I was happy they did it, but had mixed feelings," George Perry said. "You take a person and put a name out there ... what about other people? I knew they had good reasons, so I didn't want to stand in their way." In addition to the plaque, the school workers removed a large tree and prepared to ship nearby portables to a man in Knights Ferry, Chabot said Wednesday. The bridge, its ramp and adjoining sidewalk dwarf the 30-foot wood-planked footbridge it will replace. The project is part of several improvements to make the campus saferand to add handicap accessiblefacilities. Maintenance workers will chip away a concrete slab used to steady the marble plaque in the ground before sending it to family. George Perry said he plans to send the plaque to his son in Utah.

Land use inTuolumne County

About 4 , 30 0 pa r cels throughout the county would be redesignated,mostly allowing for more homes to be builtper acre in those areas. About 4,500acres ofagricultural land would be redesignated for other uses as well. Some who live in the areas targeted for higher density housing are taking issue with the proposed changes because they said the additional growth will negatively impact the historic and rural character of their communities. "All of these things create a less rural environment and a more suburban environment,"

said Ron Pickup, of Soulsbyville. "People who come up here (to visit) don't want to see suburbia. They' re escaping suburbia." Pickup is one of many in Soulsbyville who are opposed to theproposed redesignation of parcels along Soulsbyville Road &om estate residential to low-density residential. Parcels designated for estate residential allow one home per every two acres, while parcelsdesignated for lowdensity residential allow six homes per acre. More than 100 in the town have signeda petition circulated by Pickup in opposition to the plan. 'The whole town is united in feeling the same way I do," he said, adding that the petitionstates,"We the people of Soulsbyville do not want any more development around our historical community that would jeopardize our community identity." Feelings are similar for some in the historic Gold Rush town of Columbia. Cris Barsanti, a 23-year member of the now-dissolved Columbia Area P l anning Commission, said the changes in the plan call for allowing more homes to be built on about 35 parcels near Parrotts Ferry and Sawmill Flat roads,about a quarter-mile from her home. Barsanti said she's been told bycounty officials that part ofthe reason for the changes is because some of the targetedparcels already have more homes per acre than allowed by the current land designation. "My suggestion was just g randfather those in a n d don't make a broad, sweeping change that would allow six dwelling units per acre," she said. "I just think it's extremely growth inducing." Columbia is already at the center of one controversial

commercial-development projectinvolving a proposed 9,100-square-foot Dollar General store atParrotts Ferry

Road and Howser Lane. Hundreds who have spoken out againstthe project said the presence of such a corporate retail store would ruin the area's historical aesthetic and hurt local businesses. Barbara Balen, who lives near Columbia, said proposed changes to the General Plan policies are weighted too heavily in favor of new development, as opposed to preservinghistorical characteristic s that make the area

It may take more than a tub of yogurt to reverse the effects that a highfat, low-fiber diet have wrought in the bellies of men and women in the industrialized world, says new research. Indeed, the depletion of gut microbes that comes with diets deficient in fiber extend well beyond the lives

of thosewhose dietary choices made it happen, a new study finds. Over generationsof exposure to diets low in fiber, the research shows that a microbiotic population die-o6' threatens to drive some of the trillions of species that live in healthy human guts to the brink of extinction. And just as in the world of larger plants and animals, when the popula-

tion of a given gut bacterium falls below a certain level, it's as good as gone, the new research suggests. The new r e search, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, was conducted on laboratory mice whose guts were deliberately colonized with a wide array of microbes &om humans. Researchers &om

fed a generation of lab mice a diet very low in microbiota-accessible carbohydrates — nutrients plentiful in the diets of agrarian hunter-gatherers but not in diets common in industrialized societies. The results were stark enough in the mice, whose guts, collectively, were

The event will be held &om 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the John Muir building. It will include live entertainment, educational booths, lectures, a free heart-healthy dinner and a giant, walk-through Mega Heart exhibit. Health screenings for cholesterol ($15), blood pressure, heighthveight, body fat analysis and carbon monoxide will be offered. To RSVP for the free, heart-healthy dinner, call 536-5151 by Feb. 5. During the day, third- through fifth-grade students from around Tuolumne County will visit

the event and learn about heart health as well. As of last week, there were open slots from 1:30 to 3 p.m. and from noon to 1:30 p.m., said Lindsay Brewer, hospital marketing director. To inquire aboutthe space,callBrewer at536-5028. The event's live entertainment will be provided by the Rod Harris Jazz Ensemble Band. There will be a variety of educational booths and health screening booths. Staff at booths will screen people and educate them on what the numbers mean, Brewer said. Afterallofa person's screenings arecompleted, a Framingham score will be provided to predict 10-yearrisk forcardiovasculardisease ora coronary event. The cholesterol test is a finger-prick, instant-result test. It's a non-fasting cholesterol test, Brewer explained. If someone attends who has had a cholesterol test within the past six months, they can bring those results to be computed into their Framingham scores.

NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists pursuing the biological roots of schizophrenia have zeroed in on a potential factor — a normal brain process that gets kicked into overdrive. The finding could someday lead toways to treat the disease or even prevent it. The result — accomplished by analysisof genetics,autopsy brain tissue and laboratorymice — is "going to be agame-changer" in terms of u nderstanding schizophrenia and offering routes for treatment and potentialfor prevention, said Bruce Cuthbert, acting deputy director of the National Institute of Mental Health, which helped fund the research. An expert unconnected to the research said the study's conclusion was not yet proven, but plausible. Almost 1 percent of the general population will have schizophrenia at some point in their lives. They may hear voices or hallucinate, talk about strange ideas, and believe others are reading their minds or plotting against them. Nobody knows what causes the disorder,so the new resultoffers a possible peek into a black box. The work is reported in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature. The finding might pertain to "a

very substantial fraction of cases, maybe most cases, even," said senior author Steven McCarroll, of Harvard Medical School and the Broad Institute i n C a mbridge, Massachusetts. The result links schizophrenia risk to a problem with a normal process that happens in adolescence and early adulthood, when disease symptoms often appear. That age range is when the brain trims back the number of specialized places on brain cells where the cells signal each other, called synapses. The new work suggests a connection to schizophrenia when this process gets out of hand, deleting too many synapses. "It's like you have a gardener who was supposed to prune the bushes and just got overactive," Cuthbert observed. 'You end up with bushes that are pruned way

The study doesn't directly demonstrate that that excessive pruning of synapses plays a role in schizophrenia, but the idea makes sense, McCarroll said. It ties together previous observations, among them that

its own. It could promote the disease in combination with other factors in the brain, McCarroll said. The work began with a genetic investigation. Previous analysis of the human DNA indicates over 100 places that infiuence the risk of getting schizophrenia, but detailed biological explanations for those influences are very rare. The new work identified a risk gene and found evidence for the overpruning idea. Drawing on DNA data from 28,799 peoplewith schizophrenia and 35,986 people without it, the researchers found that a gene called C4 can raise a person's risk by about 30 percent over that of the general population. The gene comes in several forms, and researchers examining brain

schizophrenia most often develops during youth and that patients' brains show unusually few synapses, he said. Dr. Kenneth Kendler, a schizophrenia genetics expert at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond who didn't participate in the project, said the work presents an impressive array of results. The evidence that C4 can raise schizophrenia risk is strong, he said. The proposal that it does so through excessive pruning of synapses is "plausible and interesting, but not yet fully convincing," he said. ''We don't yet know (whether) their hypothesis is completely true," Kendler said, but the work is still "a pretty big deal." If it's true, scientist can think about finding drugs that would intervene, McCarroll said. They might be useful to give when young people show symptoms that suggest they may be on the road to developing schizophrenia, he said. And even after the diagnosis, such drugs might keep the disease from getting worse, he said. But any such treatments are years away, he cautioned.

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

Health minister: Brazil is 'losing battle' against virus-spreading mosquito RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)Brazil's health minister says the country is sending some 220,000troops to battle the mosquito blamed for spreading a virus suspected of causing birth defects — but he also says the war is already being lost. Marcelo Castrosaid that nearly220,000 members of Brazil's Armed Forces would go door-todoor to help in mosquito eradication efForts ahead of the country's Carnival celebrations. Agency spokesman Nivaldo Coelho said Tuesday details of the deployment are still being worked out.

Castro also said the government would d istribute mosquito repellent to some 400,000 pregnant women who receivecash-transfer benefits.

But the minister also said

the country has failed in effortsagainst the Aedes aegypti mosquito that transmits Zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever. 'The mosquito has been here in Brazil for three decades, and we are badly losing the battle against the mosquito," the ministers told reporters as a crisis group on Zika was meeting in the capital, Brasilia. A massive eradication efFort eliminatedAedes aegyptifrom Brazil during the 1950s, but the mosquito slowly returned over the following decades from neighboring nations, public health experts have said. That led to outbreaks of dengue, which was recorded in record numbers last year. The arrival of Zika in Brazil last year initially caused little alarm, as the virus' symptoms

Cancer resolution could be nearly miraculous DEAR DR. ROACK Two years ago, my motherhad a large mass surgically removed from her colon. (A laparoscopic surgery with colon resection.) Theoperative diagnosiswas cancerthat had metastasized to her lymph nodes. A quote from radiology following her PET: "She lit up like a Christmas tree!" The lymph nodes weren't biopsied, and she received no radiation or chemotherapy.

Last month she had another PET scan, which showed that "the majority of the previously noted enlarged lymph nodes have resolved." Does cancer"resolve'"?Ifthis reportis accurate, my mother's body seems to be clearing up the cancer. I' ve never heard of this. Right now, she experiences chills daily. Can it be that her white blood cells are actually fighting this cancer and winning? My mother is 83. She has pretty good energy. Based on this report, she says she is cured and will live to be 100. She's planning on leaving the assisted living facility she moved to two years ago. She wants to move into an

A paper was just presented at a national meeting showing that the high-dose flu shot followed by a booster a month later was even m ore eff ective. The pneumonia shot isn't likely to beeffective during active cancer treatment, but should be taken after recovery. The shingles vaccine also is a live virus, and shouldn't be taken by anyone with active cancer; however, it is recommended forcancer survivors and people with heart conditions. It also is recommended for those who live with or care for such patients. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but u/ill incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Tioga sophomore Joshua Skelley and junior J.W. Dauth combined for47 points,16 rebounds, nine steals and two blocks Wednesday to help the Timberwolves boys' basketball team defend its gym that is tucked away in the outskirt timbered hills of Groveland. Tioga defeated Mountain Valley League foe Humphrey's Able Charter Legacy 65-48. Skelleyand Dauth have been leading the Timberwolves charge all season, and Wednesday was no exception. Dauth hit a 3-pointer on therWolves first possession of the game, and then Skelley scored the next eight points. Even though Skelley is averaging nearly 13 points per game and pulling down close to nine rebounds, he is still only a second-year varsity player. Getting success early in the game is

"Scoring early in the game really gives me some extra confidence," Skelley said. Skelley's 10 points, along with five from Dauth and two from junior Austin P r uitt, mixed with excellent defense, gave Tiogaa 17-0 lead with over a minute to play in the first quarter. "We were swinging the ball and playing good defenseto start the game," Dauth said. sWe were getting

good looks, making good passes and making our shots." Tioga led 17-5 heading into the secondquarter and ran itslead to2711. But Able Charter went on a 13-2 run to cut the Timberwolves lead to 29-24.

The eight-player Wildcat leadership group raised money and purchased 50duffelbags and presented them Jan.13 to senior program manager Walter Moberg at the shelter. The bags will be given to displaced kids as a way to carry some of their belongings. Many times children arrive at the shelter carrying their belongings in a trash bag. "The kids decided that was one of the projects they wanted to do and they raised the money and did it all said Wildcat head football coach Bryan Craig (pictured far right).

Green "automatic" and is hopeful Thompson gets a spot when All-Star reserves are announced Thursday. "The way I' ve always voted, when I have two people who are pretty even, I go with the team that's winning," Kerr said. "I think winning should be accounted for when you make your All-Star selections. The whole point of the game is to win. I think Klay deserves to be there — not only because of the way he' s ut also because of the way the team has played."

TIOGA Continued from PageC1 eWe've been a streaky team all year and I think it's an effort thing," Hilton said. "When we have a fresh game, or we get down, we play pretty hard. As soon as we get a comfortable lead, we just break down. We won't pressure the ball or we will let a guy shoot the ball rather than contesting it. And then offensively, we are a shooting team and we don't move the ball very well at times. We will become content and will settle for shots. The main factor is the mindset where we get comfortable, and then we play like garbage." Dauth ended the first half by scoring the rWolves final eight points. Tioga led 37-26 at halftime. Dauth and Skelley dominated not only the points in the first half, but also the rebounds. Dauth, 6-foot-4, and Skelley, 6-foot-5, used their height as an advantage for second chance points. "Skelley and I have to take it upon ourselves to get those rebounds," Dauth said. "We' re the biggest guys on the team and allthe little guys,they are not very good at rebounding." Skelley and Dauth didn't let up in the third quarter, as the two bigs combined to score all 17 of the Timberwolves points. For Hilton, seeing the evolution of Skelley's play from his freshman year to his sophomore year has him excited for what is in the future. "He's a good team player and he accepts his role with the team," Hilton said. "He crashes the boards hard. He's kind of squirrelly on offense with the moves he makes. Once he gets a little stronger and a little bigger, he's going to start getting a lot of and-ones and getting strong finishes." After Pruitt hit a j u mper to begin the fourth quarter, Tioga enjoyed a 5737 lead. Dauth and Pruitt continued to add to the Wolves lead and with under 4

minutes to play led 64-42. With a large lead, Tioga was more interested in executing its offense correctly, rather that continuing to gather stats. ''When we get the right lead, we do want to take our time and actually do our techniques right," Skelley said. Skelley ended the night with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Pruitt scored 16 points, had four steals and dished out four assists. Mike Ridgley and Zach Reynosa each pulled down six boards apiece. Dauth scored a game-high 27 points, had nine steals, six rebounds and three assists. "He scores 27 points and he's still about four points under his season average," Hilton said. eWe are trying to have him get his teammates more involved, but we are still at that point where we are looking for him on every possession. He's our bail out guy. We want him to take the shots he takes.J.W. has been an absolute force. ¹ body can guard him." Tioga (6-4, 5-3 Mountain Valley League) sits in fourth place in the MVL The top three teams will qualify for postseason play, and for Hilton, as long as hisrWolves continue to improve with each outing, the playoffs could be a strong reality in the not toodistant future. "We aretrying to getbetter,and thatis the main thing," Hilton said. "We are at the point where we are in every single game. But if we get better at a couple of things, it will take us from close games where we are better than a team, to blowing them out. And then from games where we are losing, to being right there until the end."

I think not having a full roster but also how key the pieces were that were missing played a role in that."

Thornton has scored in all 10 of those games, recording two goals and 12 assis ts,and has 25 points over the past 19 games to become the 33rd player in NHL history to reach 1,300 career points.

Since Hertl's come on and found his stride here, it's been definitely a fun line to be on."

DeBoer also separated Couture and Patrick Marleau, giving the team strong centers on three lines. That depth has helped lead to the success of the past few weeks. "I don't think it's any secret that that kind of slotted everybody in the right places," DeBoer said. "All of a sudden our depth scoring is increasing, which is huge.

Sonora, California Q UES T I O N S d r, AT T I T U D E Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

Will the Rolex 24 get the racin' blood flowing?

It does sorta shake the slumber for NASCAR fans.For those who think racing is nothing but left-hand turns, the Rolex doesn't fully satisfy their desire to see Jimmie, Kyle, Matt and maybe even Kurt, but like the first sighting of tinsel on store shelves in early November, it signi-

fiesa certain season is approaching.

W hy do you like Daytona's road course so much? Because incombination with the highbanked tri-oval, it puts high demand on

everyone from the driver to engineers, who have to compromise on car setup. And I' ll say it again: In my perfect world, when NASCAR comes back here in July, they'd run the road course.

Did Tony Stewart call out Brian France? It reads that way in print, but sometimes something is lost in translation. In a radio interview last week, he suggested Brian should be more visible to drivers — "He shows up at the drivers' meeting and you never see him after that,"Stewart said.

Does Tony have a point? P

"I'm so lucky to win there in go-karts, the Daytona goo, the Rolex 24,; I' ve won some pretty coolraces there."

McMurray will have a bullet for the goo, where drafting is a key component to winning the race. McMurray has seven career Cup victories, and four of those have come at Daytona and Talladega Superspeedway, where drafting is king. After that, he hopes to have a competitive car at other

tracks on the schedule. McMurray and Larson

can start the season with a win in their back pockets

before returning to Daytona forthe stock-car portion of Speedweeks. "We are a great sports-car team, a great combination of drivers," Larson said. "Hopefully, we can put another 24 hours together and get another Rolex."

Ligier showed an incredible leap in speed thanks to Honda increasing the engine displacement. The larger engine provides greater torque, which allows the exoticlooking car to come off flat turns much quicker. Allmendinger can't get enough of Daytona International Speedway. He

was at the Speedway for December's national go-kart races, will compete in the Rolex 24 and return to run in the Feb. Z1 Daytona )OO.

Allmendinger is a regular on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. He' ll be joined in the Rolex 24 battle by stock-car regulars Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson wheeling the No. oz Ganassi Racing Riley Ford Prototype. "The Rolex 2< is such a tough race to win," Allmendinger said. "Every year teams show up and they have a lot of speed in their race cars. In the end, the race itself is the toughest

thing. "If you don't get to the end of 2< hours, then you don't have a shot to win, so that's the focus. No matter

what, it's going to be difficult. There are alotofcarsherethat have alotof speed, but I really do think we have the best lineup, the best team and the best car, and if we get to the end

Allmendinger will co-drive Shank's machine with John Pew, Ozz Negri and Olivier Pla, who was named to the team roster in early

January. "My expectation from a pure results side is that we' re capable of being a podium car," Shank said. "With how strong this lineup is, and how much more we understand about this Honda-Ligier than we did at this time last year, I think we are strong enough to be fighting for a podium if we can avoid any trouble and be there to race on Sunday afternoon."

But Tony is still Tony Tony Stewart had some interesting thoughts regarding NASCAR CEO Brian France. In an interview on SiriusXM's NASCAR channel, Stewart

suggested France should be more visible on a weekly basis at the race venues.

"You never see Brian France," Stewart said. "He

shows up at the drivers' meeting and you never see him after that. He's right it's their series and they' ve got to make the decisions. Just because it's my idea doesn't mean it's the right

idea. I would like to think in the 37 years I' ve been in racing that I' ve learned a thing or two."

Rolex on the tube Fox will televise 16 hours

of the Rolex 24, this weekend from Daytona on its FS1 and

FSz platforms. FS1 will carry pre-race activity beginning at z p.m. Saturday, with the race starting at 2:Qo. FS1 will carry the race live for two hours, before FSz takes over from 4-1o p.m. The Rolex is back on FS1at 7 a.m. Sunday morning, then FSZ at 10:30, then FS1
