'They' re on the side of a mountain. There arebig rock formations, trees, shrubbery. It's just a wonderful area," said Jonathan Kraft, founder and director of Keepers of the Wild, a nonprofit organization that rescues and provides sanctuary for wild animals. "We moved all the cactus all over there to the other side of the mountain. The wolves are not used to cactus." In early December, Burt reached out to Kraft and Keepers of the Wild. He said she called "crying over the phone" and mentioned they were looking for a facility where the animals could live without being bothered by humans. "She said, 'This is tragic. We don' t know what to do with the animals,' " Kraft said. He visited the wolves and the property the first week in January and said he felt for the animals. He knew he had to do something to help. So he put a strategy together. ''Wolves have a very tight family bond,"Kraft said."Itwas imperative for the animals to be kept together." Kraft said it took four weeks to get the project organized and an extraction team assembled. In that time, more wild than domesticated. ably in a state-of-the-art, man-made they built a $40,000 sanctuary in ValTo his surprise, however, he got a sanctuary in Valentine, Arizona.

to goabout achievingthegoal. eWe're coming to a tipping point," said Kathleen Burby, past president and current board member of the Tuolumne County Association of Realtors. "We' ve been talking about it for years and nothing's happened." Proposed changes to the Tuolumne County General Plan aim to encourage infill development by rezoning land near existing communities to allow for more homes per acre. Such projects are seen as a way of keeping costs down for developers by lessening the burden foroff -site infrastructure improvements. Critics of the changes say promoting denser growth in the targeted areas will negatively impact the appearance and rural character of those communities, many of which have experienced little growth over the past 10-plus years. On Tuesday, the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors invited real estate and building industry leaders to provide insight on the barriers to building starter homes and housingthat' s affordable for both seniors and millennials entering the workforce. "Nothing has been built in over 10 years that is workforce housing," said District 2 Supervisor Randy Hanvelt. 'The things that have been built are subsidized housing and people building dream houses." Local buildersand Realtors say there's insufficient supply to meet the current demand for homes and rentals, driven by a steady decline in newhome construction since a

Construction projects going on throughout downtown Sonora By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat p

Construction and county workers have been busy lately doing multiple projects around downtown Sonora. Jackson Street was closed last week and earlier this week from Shepherd Street to Hope Lane, where crews replaced water lines and fire hydrants. It is part of the City of Sonora's Fire Flow project, said Rachelle Kellogg, of the city's Community Development Department. Kellogg reported in a Feb. 11 memorandum to cityadministrator that 60 ofthe city's 85 new hydrants were installed. The main line on Jackson and Oakside streets has been replaced. Contractors are now doing the finish work to patch the roads. Construction on Fairview Lane near the Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Office was also part of the fire flow project. Ongoing work on the project will continue through April. In CourthouseSquare,Tuolumne County facilities management crews dug trenches last week for a new irrigation system, where

Will PUC cave to yet another brazen utili

'PIVN'

SOTS 8 P~ Q

To understand the brazen quality of the latest rate increase application from California's third-largest electric utility, it's necessary to step back in time, to

the scene when wildfires r aged a cross

some ofthe prettiest ThOmaS parts of San Diego EhgS County in 2007. Those fires would e ventually kill 1 3 persons, even more than the notorious natural gas pipelineexplosion that came about three years later in San Bruno, which ever since has plagued the state's largest utility, Pacific Gas & Electric. Physical damage from the fire was far more widespread. Just after noon on Oct. 21, 2007, arcing power lines owned by San Diego Gas & Electric Co. were whipped by dry winds of up to 100 mph, eventually starting a small fire near Ramona, in eastern San Diego County. Known as the Witch Creek fire, by 4 a.m. the next day, this blaze had grown exponentially and reached the San Diego city limits. It combined with two other fires, eventually burning down whole neighborhoods — a total of more than 1,125 residences. More than 197,000 acres burned, but not in rural country like some of last fall's big fires. This was high-priced resi-

' '~

dential real estate.

Evacuations were ordered over the almost three weeks the blaze burned, in cities from Oceanside and Encinitas, Del Mar Heights and Carmel Valley, Rancho Santa Fe and the heavily affhcted Rancho Bernardo. And there were more. These eventually involved about half a million people, the largest evacuation in California history. Now fast forward to SDG&E's newest rate increase application. Following the examples of PG&E and Southern California Edison, SDG&E asks the state Public Utilities Commission to have its customers pay 90 percent of its approximately $380 million in fire-related expenses. This would amount to about $1.67 per month per customer. No talk here about the company compensating affectedcustomers for their own fire-related costs,as

one might think fair. The case creates a major test for the PUC, whose new president, Michael Picker, has promised more transparency and adherence to rules preventing private contacts between commissioners, their staff and utility executives during rate cases. Such contacts have long been common, despite violating many rulesand regulations. The 2007 fire, caused primarily by the combination of SDG&E equipment and severe weather conditions, spurred about $4 billion in claims, many not covered by insurance. But SDG&E, obligated to serve fire-prone areas and pay damages linked to power line problems whether or not negligence was involved, says having customers pay 90 percent of its costs is consistent with another state decision on a hazardous waste cleanup. This does not change the fact that asking customers — many of them victims of the fire — to pay the

vast bulk of the bills is like someone helping cause a car accident that injures another party and then expecting that person to pay most of the damage expense. This would never fly in a private negotiation, but we are talking about a state commission with decades of experience favoring utility companies over their customers. SDG&E doesn't say this, but it has plainly seen that Southern California Edison won a deal having customers foot about 70 percent of expenses linked to the shutdown of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, caused mostly by an Edison blunder. It has seen PG&E get sweetheart terms on the penalties assessed against it for San Bruno. And SDG&E has seen the thus-far lenient treatment the PUC has given the Southern California Gas Co. (with which it shares a parent company — Sempra Energy) in the massive ongoing methane gas leak near Porter Ranch in Los Angeles. If Picker is serious about changing the culture of the commission, as he claimed in his state Senate confirmation hearings, the SDG&E rate case is a big chance to make a statement.

The bottom line: If SDG&E ends up paying only about 10 percent of its expenses from a hugely traumatic fire caused in large part by its equipment, the PUC will be saying it's business as usual. The companies ask for money and the commission reaches for the wallets of customers. Only if the proposal is cut by much more than half will there be any reason to think there's been any change at this steadfastly corrupt commission. Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.corn. His book,

There is one wrinkle in Trump's strategy. His attacks on Cruz have seemingly worked. But his kind words towards Planned Parenthood have been turned into a powerful attack ad to help Cruz attempt to reclaim evangelical voters. With two CNN townhall-style debates l ooming and that particular attack ad running, Cruz might eat into Trump's final numbers when the votes in South Carolina are

that Ted Cruz is a liar and plays dirty politics, again, the post -debate polling suggested that Cruz was frozen in his tracks, gaining little from the exchange.

To the Editor: The amount of money spent on this presidential race is obscene. The millions of dollars that are being wasted could be used in much more productive ways, such as: repairing and replacing antiquated infrastructure, reducing poverty, helping the homeless and the veterans, updating the education system and the schools that are in disrepair, providing a more accessible mental health program to those who need help, etc. There must be a more updated system for candidates to get their message to the American voter. Use the Internet, send us your resume and include what your plan would be for the listed issues you would need to deal with. That is all we need. It is ridiculous to see that the one who raises the most money or yells the loudest wins the race, despite his/her qualifications. The money used to sponsor the debates is money down the garbage disposal. The behavior of some of the candidates is shameful and certainly not presidential. They squabble like children and that is pretty frightening. Dr. Etty Garber

Farkas didn't attend Tuesday's meeting for the discussions but felt it was weighted heavily in favor of development interests. She is also against proposed changes in the General Plan that she says will bring more urban development to traditionally rural communities,

such as Columbia and Soulsbyville. "The Sonora Area Foundation does a survey every three years and the one in 2008 showed that 48 percent of the population in Tuolumne County atthe time was 50 years orolder," she said. "They need to be close to services and close to downtown." John Buckley, executive director of the Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center in Twain Harte, which wasn't involved in the lawsuit over the Columbia apartments, in a phone interview Wednesday called the claims that lawsuits are impeding development a "wild exaggeration." "At some point, there will always be a demand for no restrictions and

unlimited development to maximize profit," he said.

one upstairs bedroom, which was where Schlensker and her husband stayed, and the boy's bedroom was at the bottom of the stairs. The boy and Schlensker continued having sex almost every night after moving to the Lakeside house, in the boy's bedroom while Schlensker's husband was upstairs. The boy testified he and Schlensker also had sex two or three times in his mother's car, when he was close to 17 and had earned his driver's license. They also had sex at the church two orthree times, theboy testified. The boy recalled having sex in the youth group room in the afternoon

er.

Farkas said the group didn't stop them from building the project but wanted the county to require an environmental impact report, a comprehensive study of a project's environmental, cultural and economic impacts. "The problem with that particular location was that it had natural resources," she said, adding that it' s also a water drainage that contributes to the groundwater for wells in the area.

Barnard assessed Schlensker, concluded she suffered from PTSD and RTS, andhad been sufFering from these conditions from the time she was a teenager. According to the 5th D istrict Court of Appeal, the trial court in Sonora restricted Barnard's testimony on this. The appellate judges said this prevented the jury from properly considering Schlensker's PTSD and RTS diagnoses in relation to the mental state necessary to convict

her of committing lewd acts against the boy, as well as the mental state required for her defense of duress to all the charged offenses.

People findout One time, the boy said he fired a 9mm handgun atSchlensker when they had an argument at the house on Lakeside. He said he could not remember what he and Schlensker had been fighting about, but recalled it had become "pretty heated." She slapped him and ran upstairs, and he pulled out his gun and fired it up the stairs and the bullet went througha bedroom wall. From September 2011 to December 2011 the boy's mother sent him to school in Missouri. When he came back, the boy had sex with Schlensker at her house in Twain Harte. He recalled they would have sex during his lunch break from school, and he would drive his mother's car up to Twain Harte to see Schlensker whenever he could. The sexual relationship stopped when Schlensker and her husband moved to Oregon. Sometime after they moved, the boy received a text message from Schlensker's husband stating that Schlensker had told him what was going on, and if the boy respected them to stay out of their lives and never talk to them again. E ventually, the boy t old h i s mother about his relationship with Schlensker but made her promise not to press charges. After the boy

In January2013,the Tuolumne County District Attorney filed 45 counts charging Schlensker with various sexual offenses against the boy, between Aug. 1, 2009, and March 1, 2012. The 5th District Court of Appeal opinion filed Tuesday means Schlensker is no longer convicted of anything in this case. She still shows up on sexual offender lists online. With the reversal of her convic-

tion, the appellate court is expected to send anotice of the reversal to the Automated Criminal History System, which is then checked by Megan's Law website staK Hovatter said Tuolumne County District Attorney staff have already contacted the Attorney General' s office about the reversal of Schlensker's conviction. "This doesn't happen very oRen, but when it does, typically we retry the case," Hovatter said. "So we' ll be looking at this very closely." Factors that need reviewing are the currentlocations ofalleged victims and witnesses, Hovatter said. Reached on Thursday by phone, Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Grant, who represented the People of California in the Court of Appeal on Schlensker's case, declined to comment on the reversal of her conviction.

"While the district attorney's office respects the opinion of the court of appeal, we disagree with their opinion in this case," Hovatter said. ''We are in contact with the attorney general to determine what action, if any, would be appropriate." Hovatter said he's spoken with Attorney General staff, and they are also in disagreement with the Court of Appeal opinion. The Attorney General will decide if the case can be appealed at a higher level. "The Attorney General is going to look at steps that can be taken," Hovatter said. "They may have further recourse at their level. The decision whether to retry this case will likely be made in the next 30 days."

BRIEFING

Meeting Carol Menton in January 1965 on a blind date was love at first sight for Tuolumne County native Leslie Sharrock. Leslie "Les" and Carol Sharrock celebratedtheir 50th wedding anniversary on Feb. 6. Les was born in October 1941 in the Mother Lode Hospital in Jamestown. The building now houses the Jamestown Hotel. Carol was born in 1943 at a hospital in Hayward that was tom down and rebuilt as a KaiCourtesy photo ser Permanente Hospital, where Carol and Les Sharrock were married Feb. their two daughters were eventuallyborn years later. 6, 1966, at The Red Church in Sonora.

A fter graduating from S onora High School in 1960, Les joined the U.S. Marine Corps a week-and-a-half after graduation. After his discharge in 1964, he moved to Modesto, where he studied law enforcement and criminal justice at Modesto Junior College. After Carol graduated from high school in H ayward, her parents moved to Minnesota, so she entered the workforce right away. Only months after Les began college, he agreed to a blind date set upby a close friend. Les said when he first saw Carol, she was sitting on the hearth of a fireplace wearing a

pink dress and pink high heels and had long blonde hair. "When I first laid eyes on her and I saw her, there it was, like 'KAZAM!' I had just been hit by lightning," he said with a laugh. That evening the four went to a Chinese restaurant in Jamestown.

Carol recalled Les acting "calm and cool." "I couldn't believe I was dating this beautiful woman," Les said. The next morning,the group of four went out again, this time to the snow in Long Barn. Afterward, Les asked if he could come back and visit Carol in Oakland, See SHARROCK / Page B2

Shouldhigh school punishments go on college apps? The Associated Press

They are basic yes-no questions that ask whether a college applicant ever got into trouble in high school. Yet they' re anything but simple, say some who want run-ins at school or with the law taken out of the college admissions equation. Advocates, school districts and even some collegesshare concerns about

youthful mistakes haunting students into adulthood, especially minority students, who federal statistics show are suspended and arrested at disproportionately higher rates than their white peers. The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law on Thursday is calling for the removal of discipline questions &om the Common Application used by more than 620 colleges

and universities. The Center for Community Alternatives in Syracuse, New York,has issued similar appeals,saying that while most colleges collect the information, few have formal policies guiding its use. "So long as racial disparities persist at everystage ofour criminaljustice system, we fully expect that these kinds of questions will unfairly deny educational opportunity to, or have a

chilling effect on, African Americans and other minority groups," wrote Kristen Clarke, Lawyers' Committee presidentand executive director,in a

letter to the Common Application. At a time of heightened vigilance against campus shootings and terrorism, admissions officials say questions about student discipline are seen as See COLLEGE / Page B4

New York University in January asked the Common Application to review whether the queries do anything to make campuses safer or discourage minority applicants. The university, which uses the application, this year began ignoring whether the criminal conviction box had been checked until after an initial screening. The Common App islooking at the issues, said Aba Blankson, senior director at the not-for-profit group. In the meantime, applicants who check yes have room to elaborate.

BRIEFING

Dungenesscrab season still closed SACRAMENTO (AP) — The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has decided to keep the commercial Dungeness season closed until all or part of the coast is clear of the deadly toxin that has been found in some of the crabs. The San Francisco Chronicle reports Fish and Wildlife Director Charlton Bonham said fears of customers being poisoned by domoic acid outweighed the economicdamage to the crabbing industry. Bonham said that Wednesday's decision will be reconsidered if state health officials determine that the toxin danger has ended either statewide or south of the Mendocino-Sonoma county line. The California Department of Health announced lastweek that recreational fishing for Dungeness crabs was permitted south of Point Reyes. But they advised that diners should remove the guts and cook the crabs by steaming or boiling them and then discard the water used.

BOYS Continued from PageC1 going into that game. They gave us everything we wanted. They are very physical, strong and inside oriented. We struggled, but they were tough. They are probably the most physical team we' ve played all year." Escalon has lost four of its last six games and is 4-7 on the road. The MLL champion Bears (21-6, 11-1 MLL) are enjoying an 8-game winning streak. Summerville is 7-2 when playing in Tuolumne and has outscored its opponents by an average of 64-50. Watson hopes that the Summerville student section, "The Bear Cave" and the Orange Crush Band will help provide a little extra home court advantage. "I know our crowd is a great crowd," Watson said. "Our kids get a lot of energy from our home court. But afier

the first couple of minutes it goes away and it comes down to execution and effort. Idealy, well have that. It will be a great opportunity to play in front of a great crowd that will be like a sixth man." The Bears have made the playoffs for the last four years, but haven' t been out of the first round since the 2013 section championship season. In 2015 Summerville lost to West Campus andtoRiverbank in 2014. oWe've had a quick exit from the playoffsthe last couple ofyears and I know the kids want to turn that around," Watson said.

Emerald hopes the momentum her team has built will continue to last through the playoffs. "I think momentum can carry, and I hope it carries us," Emerald said.'Yeah, they lost their last four games in league, but anything can happen in league. This is a whole new season for us.

The Redskins have dropped their last two games (at home vs. Bret Harte and on the road against Summerville), and interim head coach Dale Clifton is pleased with the ranking. "I was afraid we'd fall all the way to No. 9 and be on the road," CliRon said."It'sa decentseeding." No. 11 Foothill, like Calaveras, has lost its last two games. The Mustangs were 13-14 and 5-5 in the Pioneer Valley League, where they finished third. "Foothill has some really good shooters and they are fast," Cliiton said."They run the flex and are not real big. They are still a very good team and I think we are pretty even. It's a winnable game." Calaveras made the playoffs for the third consecutive year. In 2014 the Redskins reached the second round before losing to Encina Prep. Last year, they fell to Mesa Verde at home in the first round. If Calaveras wants to make a deep playoff run, it needs to shake the flu bug which has been with players for a number of weeks. "That's the main thing," Clifton said, alluding to the much needed improved health ofhis players. oWe

"It's absolutely huge," Emerald said. 'The girls are talking and hoping that the band can come out and play. Being able to not travel is always nice. Hopefully, we can get some fans out there and it would be great to have two home games." Should Sonora win, it will host No. 5 Placer or No.12 Livingston. No. 7 Calaveras will host the No. 10 Lathrop Spartans at Mike Flock Gym. Calaveras finished the regular season 21-4 while going 10-2 in MLL games. The only blemishes to the 'Skins league record came courtesy of Sonora. One loss to Sonora was by only two points. Asides from the losses to the Wildcats, Calaveras did not win a leaguegame by any less than 11 points. The Redskins average outscoring their opponents 49-32. Both Calaveras and Lathrop are entering the playoffs hot. The 'Skins have won their last five games, while the Spartans have won their last three. Lathrop enters the playoffs with a 14-10 record and posted an 8-6 Valley Oak League record, which was good enough for third place. Should the Redskins beat the Spartans, they will hit the road and play No. 2 West Campus, or host No. 15 Orestimba. Tip-off for both games is set for 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

BRIEFS Man chargedfor Dodger Qadiumattack LOS ANGELES (AP)A Palos Verdes man has been charged with knocking a man unconscious at Dodger Stadium after a game last October. Prosecutors c h arged Michael Rae Papayans on Thursday with assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. He' s &ee on bail and faces up to seven years in prison if collvlcted.

It's unclear whether he has an attorney. Prosecutors say Papayans and his mother began yelling at a group of people — one of whom was wearing Mets clothing — on Oct. 9 in the parking lot. Authorities say Papayans punched a 50-year-old man, who hit the pavement and was knocked unconscious. It was reminiscent of a 2011 parking lot attack on San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow, who suffered brain damage. Two men pleaded guilty to the attack.

Rangers extend safety nettIng over dugouts ARLINGTON, T exas (AP) — The Rangers have installed additional protective netting that spans the length of the dugouts on each side of their home ballpark. Rangers offi cials said Thursday that the new netting is about 6 feet high above the dugouts. That extends the nets from the end of the current home platescreen to over both dugouts, about 68 feet on both sides. Rob Matwick, the team's executivevice president of business operations, says the Rangers already were in compliance with Major League Baseball safety recommendations issued in December. He said the team was reviewing and considering additional options to provide protection for fans sitting behind the dugouts at Globe Life Park even before those recommendations.

Spieth opens with ugly 79; Villegas leads at Riviera ByDOUG F E R G U SON The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Camilo Villegas hasn't make a cut all year and has only broken 70 one time in four previous trips to Riviera, so it was mildly surprising to see him with an 8-under 63 to build a three-shot lead Thursday in the Northern Trust Open. That wasn't the biggest surprise. One spot &om the bottom of the leaderboard was Jordan Spieth, the world's No. 1 player who shot an 8-over79 on one of his favorite courses. Itwashisworststarteveras a pro, and his highest score since an 80 in the third round of the 2014 Tour Championship. "In the course of a career,I im agine it's going to happen," Spieth said. "Just unfortunate when it actually

does. And there was one more surprise for everyone. Riviera, which played so fearsome during the practice rounds under a hot sun, was softer than usu-

al after a steady overnight rain that never cleared until moments before the rst fi round began. Spieth said he couldn't trust how

the course was playing. Villegas also was stunned when he heard players &om the morning round talk about 4-irons stopping on the green, instead of taking a hard bounce. 'Vou don't really shoot 8 under around this place not playing good," Villegas said."Obviously, the rain yesterdaymade thegolfcoursealotmore accessible." Bubba Watson, who won at Riviera two years ago with a 64-64 weekend, opened with a 66 along with Chez Reavie and Luke List. Rory McIlroy, ~ his fi rst PGA Tour start this year and his debut at Riviera, opened with two quick birdies and added two more on the &ont nine for a 67. He was in a large group that induded 22-year-old Charlie Danielson, the Illinois senior who earned a spot in his first PGA Tour event by winning a collegiate qualifier on Monday. "I just went out and tried to enjoy the day," Danielson said. "I had no idea if I would shoot 80 or 66, so I just

fore hitting a chip on the ninth green. Spieth asked rules officials to review the video. He said he was fairly certain it didn't move, but wanted to be sure. A decision was not expected until Friday morning. It would be a oneshot penalty under Rule 18-2 if the ball did move. That was the least of his worries. The round got away &om him on the back nine when he kept missing greensand leavinghimself shortpar putts that are difficult on poa greens in the afternoon. Spieth dropped six shots over the last seven holes, including athree-putt double bogey &om 8 feet on the 18th. 'Tm not throwing this tournament away," Spieth said. 'Tm not packing it in by any means." Only one other player in the 144man field shot worse than Spieth. The Masters and U.S. Open champion was

on the&ont nine when he ran off four straight birdies starting at No. 5 when he holed a 25-foot birdie putt. He hit his tee shot to 3 feet on the par-3sixth,and holed apairof15-foot putts on the next two holes. Villegas neededone more birdie at No. 9 to match the course record of 61 that Ted Tryba set in 1999. He missed the green to the right and chipped to 4 feet, missing the par puttand settling fora 63. "I got on fi re there for a little stretch," he said. "And obviously, a little mishap on the last hole. But man, I thought I made the chip, too. It was a good day out there. Fun." McIlroy started birdie-birdie, and his lone mistake was a tee shot into a deepbunker on No. 15,leavinghim no chance at reaching the green. Even so, he was happy to take advantage of the conditions. ''Put myself out of position a couple the last man on the practice range Thursday night when the first round of times, but with the way the condiwas suspended by darkness. Fourteen tionsofthe golfcourse were,itdidn't players did not finish the round. punish you as bad as if it would have went out with no expectations and it Villegas didn't want it to end. been asfirm as itwas the last couple worked out." He opened with a pitch to tap-in of days," McIlroy said. Spieth didn' t have any expectations range forbirdie on No. 10,far less Villegas figured it out quickly of a 79 — or worse. Still to be deter- fearsome with slightly softer condi- and played more aggressively, gomined is whether his ball moved be- tions. But his round really took off ing at pins instead of planning for

a big bounce. "I would say I was a little surprised with my 8 under to be honest. This is agolfcourse where it's noteasy to shoot 8 under," Villegas said. "I didn' t know Jordan shot 8 (over), but obviously he must have had a bad day. But again, everybody has bad days in this sport, man."

Clyburn, Matthew leadearly in 2ndroundofWomen'sOpen ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) England's Holly Clyburn shot a 7-under65 Friday to move to 8-under 136 and into a tie for the clubhouse lead during the second round of the Women's Australian Open. Clyburn and Scotland's Catriona Matthew (69) held a one-stroke edge over Germany's Caroline Masson, who shot 71. Another stroke back at 6-under after a 71 was five-time

champion Karrie Webb. Overnight leader SooBin Kim, who shot a course-record 63 on Thursday on The Grange's West course, had an afternoon start Friday, as did top-ranked and defending champion Lydia Ko, who shot 70 Thursday.

Granddaughter's gifts should stay with 'nana' DEAR ANNIE: My ex-son-in-law has temporarycustody of my granddaughter, "Cathy," who is 8. Every time I buy her something, she wants to leave it at my house. I couldn't understand why so I asked her father. He said it was because Cathy had overheard him talking to his ex (my daughter), fussing that Cathy would lose things they bought her, or she wouldforget tobringtheitem back to the parent's house where it belonged when she stayed overnight with the other parent.

I think the problem is that Cathy has her mom and three sets of grandparents who buy her things, and Dad now has a stepdaughter who doesn' t get much (if anything) from her father or grandparents. She is 3 years older than Cathy. I don't think Cathy needs to be punished because her stepsister doesn't have much of a relationship with her family. Any help would be appreciated.— SAD NANA

DEAR ~ < ~I recently : stopped at my husband's office and needed to use the bathroom. I was so angry when I noticed a calendar that had half-nakedwomen on it.M yhusband thinks the calendar is OK, but now I feel as though I'm not good enough or pretty enough for him.

UTI meds not culprit in myelodysplastic syndrome DEAR DR. ROACH:My husband' s urologist put him on trimethoprim for a urinary tract infection. He was on this medication for 90 days and was then told to take it another 90 days. Upon readingmore aboutthisdrug,wefound that it should be taken for only 10 days. Aftergoing for a blood test recommended by ourprimary carephysician, not the urologist, my husband was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome. W e read that thisis a possible side effectofthe drug. My husband had to undergo a bone marrow biopsy, and is under the care of an oncologist. We are taking a "wait and see" approach to his MDS. He has a low-grade MDS, and so he is going to get his blood tested every two months rather than start on Procrit to raise his bloodcount,as it also has dangerous side effects. Do you have any advice? — A.L.

Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. are caused by genetic mutations, some of which may be inherited; others may come as a result of damage to DNA, such as by chemotherapy and radiation. Trimethoprim (which almost always is combined with sulfamethoxazole) is a broad-spec trum antibiotic that does have the possible side effect of causing damage to bone marrow. Bone marrow damage from trimethoprjm has some resemblanceto myelodysplastic syndromes, but trimethoprim does not cause MDS. Although there is no cure for MDS, people with "low grade" MDS may live many years without needing treatment. A complete discussion of the treatment options for MDS is beyond the scope of

DEAR DR ROACH:I recently read to be aware of dangers when eating canned tomatoes from dented cans. A new salvage grocery has opened locally and features many items that are dented,crushed packages orslightly out of date. Many oftheseitemsarestillgood, and offer an opportunity to save money. As a home gardener, I realize that it's much easier to buy a dented can of tomatoesfor a very small price than to spend hours canning tomatoes. Is it

safe? — M.K ANSWER With damaged cans, our concernisfor the toxin from a bacterium, Clostridium botuli, which causes the disease botulism. Botulism is extremely rare, but is higher in low acid or tomato-based foods. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends discarding any cans with deep dents (those with sharp edges), because they

a higher risk of botulism, as inexperienced home canners may not strictly follow safe canning techniques. The expira tion date on a shelf-stable food like canned tomatoes refers to quality, not safety. In other words, although it is still safe to consume, it may not have the same quality aRer its expiration date.

Today in history Today is Friday, Feb. 19, the 50th day of 2016. There are 316 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Feb. 19, 1986, the U.S. Senate approved, 8311, the Genocide Convention, an international treaty outlawing "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group," nearly 37 years after the pact had first been submitted for ratification. On this date: In 1881, Kansas prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. In 1915, during World War I, British and French warships launched their initial attack on Ottoman forces in the Dardanelles, a strait in northwestern Turkey. (The Gallipoli Campaign that followed proved disastrous for the Allies.) In 1934, a blizzard began inundating the northeastern United States, with the heaviest snowfall occurring in Connecticut and Massachusetts. In 1959, an agreement was signed by Britain, Turkey and Greece granting Cyprus its independence. In 1976, calling the issuing of Executive Order 9066 "a sad day in American history," President Gerald R. Ford issued a proclamation confirming that the order had been terminated with the formal cessation of hostilities of World War II. In 2001, President George W. Bush opened a museum dedicated to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Movie producer-director Stanley Kramer died in Woodland Hills, California, at age 87. In 2008, an ailing Fidel Castro resigned the Cuban presidency after nearly a half-century in power; his brother Raul was later named to succeed him.

Satchel Paige, who was arguably the first great African-American baseball pitcher, said, "Work like ~ VK97 you don't need the money. Love like you've never I K10 ?6 been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching." 4 Q 10 9 4 When you dance, you can go slowly — perhaps South doing a fox trot. Or you can move quickly4 AKQJ maybe performing a fandango. VAQJ It is often similar at the bridge table. Should defenders fight actively for tricks, or should they sit back 0 843 and wait for declarer to furnish them with winners? + K65 Defenders should listen to the bidding.

Or did they squeeze every last drop out of the cards, perhaps bidding one spadePass 44 Al l Pa s s two spades-three spades-four spades-pass? Then, 3 4 defend passively. In addition, take the dummy into Openinglead:t 2 account. If it is balanced, there is usually no hurry to cash winners. But if it is unbalanced, threatening to give declarer discards on a good side suit and ruffs, speed is of the essence for the defense. Into which category does today's deal fall? lf I had been North, I would have raised to three no-trump with that strong doubleton, but that contract would have failed also. Against four spades, West leads a diamond and East takes dummy's queen with his king. What next? With such a balanced dummy, East should go passive, returning a diamond to get the entry off the board (or switch to a trump). Now the contract must fail. An active club shift by East backfires if South plays low from his hand.
