esa ion a ains ' 0 c a awsui The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) was enacted to ensure our businesses and their facilities are accessible to the physically disabled. Compliance with the act is enforced by private legal action and therein lies the problem. Up and down the valley expensive "gotcha lawsuits" have been filed against small businesses. These suits become a quick pay day for the lawyers that file them.

I have hosted a series of small business townhalls in the 8th Senate District to provide the local business community with practical information on compliance, and how to avoid and defend against these types of suits. Representatives from both Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse and the Civil Justice Association of California have participated in my eventsand provided valuable information and advice to the attendees.

The townhall provided business owners with specific examples of violations that have been used to bring lawsuits and how to correct them. It also provided the names oflocalcompliance expertswho can help a business fix its problems before an ADA "gotcha" lawyer shows up and costs them a fortune. And it is a fortune... In California, business owners face a civil penalty of $28,000, plus plaintifFs attorney's fees (which could run as high as $10,000 — or more — depending on how protractedthe case becomes).Add to that the cost of defending the suit plus the expense of actually doing the work to make a business ADA compliant and the cost grows substantially. It is very important for our businesses to understand the law and how to avoid lawsuits.

Guest Opinion

By Sen. Tom Berryhill, R-Twain Harte

lawyers continue to bilk businesses and more changes are needed. I am a currently a coauthor of Assembly Bill 54 (AB 54) by Assemblymember Olsen. This bill puts the focus where it belongs — on curing ADA violations and increasing access for the disabled community. It would givebusinesses 60 days to correct ADA violations under certain specific construction-related situations.

In 2008, Senate Republicans passed a bill that would require lawyers to send a Notice of Violation and give the business time to fix the problem before a lawsuit could be filed. It also reduced penalties that small businesses that made correcti ons could be forced to pay. Despite these reforms, trial

GOP tragedy:Putting principles beforepragmatics WASHINGTON — I' m g etting that deja vu feeling as House Republicans these past several days have failed to alter the public's perception that they're incapable of governing. This week marked Episode 2, Season 2 in the series "Homeland Security Face-Off" Subtitle: "How Republicans Forfeit the White House in 2016." Notwithstanding Tuesday afternoon's vote, which funded the Department of Homeland Security through the end of the fiscal year, last week's high-stakes game of chicken — and this week's near repeat — provides a lesson for future skirmishes.

We've seen this all before. House Speaker John Boehner tries to get his conference to act rationally, but the 52 or so whose mission is to act disruptively at any opportunity force the House majority into a "bad deal," to borrow from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's description of our current negotiations with Iran. If I may pause for just a moment. What a strange juxtaposition to have Netanyahu outline worst-case scenarios should our current proposed deal with Iran go through, effectively freeing Iran, a leading instigator of terrorism in the Middle East, to construct nuclear weapons in 10 years — and our own Congress' inability to

Republicans aren't in town to govern. They're in town to lose. Last week's "patch," as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi described the seven-day continuing resolution

to fund Homeland Security, merely set up this week's repeat. Tuesday morning, Boehner laid it out to his conference: Either pass a clean billor pass another CR and still lose. Apparently, he was successful in selling the only real deal available. The House passed the clean Senate bill 257-167. Whether this solution changes public perception sufficiently — and whether it can hold through the Republicanprimary process — is yetto be seen. In the meantime, what we do know is that a Republican can't win the presidency if the party more widely is considered not ready for prime time. Without the 40 percent of the Hispanic vote widely considered necessary to win — and enough independents and moderates who are turned off by the more-righteous-than-thou Freedom Caucus — a Republican doesn't stand a chance.

major test of President Barack Obama's health overhaul that threatens insurancecoverage for millionsofpeople. The justices will meet today to try to determine whether the law makes people in all 50 states eligible for federal tax subsidies to cut the cost of insurance premiums. Or does it limit tax credits only to people who live in states that created their own health insurance marketplaces? A ruling that limits where subsidies are available would have dramatic consequences, because roughly three dozen states opted against their own marketplace,or exchange, and instead rely on the U.S. Health and Human Services Department's healthcare.gov.

900 pages. The challengers say those wordsareclear and conclusive evidence that Congress wanted to limit subsidies only to those consumers who get their insurance through a marketplace, or exchange, that was established by the state. The administration counters that the law was written to dramatically reduce the ranks of uninsured, and that it would make no sense to condition subsidies on where people live. The phrase "established by the state," is what the administration calls a "term ofart"thattakes both state-and federally run exchanges. The administration also says the term cannot be read in isolation, and that other parts of the law show that subsidies should be widely available.

Sonora tree removal project 23K over budget By ALEK MacLEAN The Union Democrat tl

) 4

A controversialcounty project that involves removing seven of the 18 trees at Courthouse Square in downtown Sonora is expected to run about $28,000 over budget, according to a revised estimate released by the county Tuesday. The Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors received an update on the progress of the project &om County Administrator Craig Pedro, who said the cost for specialists to perform the tree removal and trimming work is expected to be more than double what was originally estimated. Work is currently well underway at the park, with an expected completion date of March 6. The tree trimming and removal was initially estimated to cost only about $20,000, but the only bid received &om the seven local contractors who were notified was for $42,845. The Modesto-based contractor , Grover Landscape Services Inc., has an arborist on site at all times who has personally completed some of the work, Pedro said. "They're really paying attention to make sure this is done correctly,"

he said. There have also been some additionsand subtractions to the scope oftheprojectsince itbegan. Pedro said the old wooden trash receptaclesat the park willbe replaced with "nice, new" metal ones at atotaladditional cost of $4,000, because part of the idea behind the project was to "clean up" the park.

Grover Landscape Services Inc. employee Daniel 0/ Riley cuts branches from trees in downtown Sonora's Courthouse Square. A $15,000 plan to install security cameras on the surrounding buildings to document any illegal activities at the park will be funded by a grantthrough the Tuolumne County Transportation Council. The board also made the suggestion of installing a sod lawn, rather than grass seeding. That will cost an extra $5,000, Pedro said. However, the county's chief administrator said planting the grass could pose an issue amidst the fourth year of drought. All of the arborists who reviewed the projectsaid some of the trees left standing — particularly a giant

sequoia— willneed to be watered more consistently to prevent them &om dying. Pedro saidthe plan is to "saturate"the trees once the project is complete. However, the question remained of whether to wait on plant-

ing thegrass foratleasta year. "We oughtto be getting to ordering that sod soon if we're going to move forward with it," he said. "Unless I hear otherwise, we're going to continue with the plan." N one of the supervisors raised arguments against ordering the sod. Pedro also noted that members of the Tuolumne County Historic Pres-

ervation Review Commission on M onday were "not happy" theirrecommendation to remove only three to four of the least healthy trees and replant them in-kind was ignored. All 18 trees were planted in 1936 when the park was established by former District 1 Supervisor Frank Ralph, who selected each of the trees. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. District 1 S u pervisor Sherri Brennan said that reducing the density of the trees in the small, 11,000-square-f oot area is going to be "key" to maintaining the future health of the remaining trees. "I personally have concerns when looking at the two giant sequoia trees...they've got a lot of brown needles on them," she said."I'm hoping that by following up on the recommendation and getting some substantial amount of water on them,

The board chose to remove

the ninth point of the plan that suggested hiring a consultant to conduct an independent study of the county's fire and first-responder system, which features more than a dozen separate fire districts. A 2011 study of the system was conducted by the county in coordination with the various districts. Following the release of the 2011 study, a Tuolumne County Civil Grand Jury recommended combining the county's nine full-time staffed departments and 10 volunteer fire stations into a single entity, but th e suggestion failed to gain traction with the districts. District 5 Supervisor Karl Rodefer said he would like the next study to look at "what would be the perfect system" with theresources available in the county, adding that any recommendations would likely need to be modified to address "political and historical issues."

pack — vital for local water supplies — showed the snowpack Tuesday was 20 percent of average for the date. In spite of snowpack concerns at the state level, Tuolumne Utilities District officials believe their water supply remains improved compared with this time last year, with Lyons and Pinecrest reservoirs expected to fill later this spring, according to Glen Nunnelley, district engineer. State Department of Water Resources worries about the snowpack are a concern for the Calaveras County Water District, said spokesman Joel Metzger. "The state Water Resources Control Board is ... likely to come back with recommendations for m andates forlocalwaterdistricts,"M etzger said. "So CCWD is continuing Stage 8 mandatory conservation and has been under those requirements since June of last year," Metzger said. ''While we do have mandatory restrictions in place, we may have to revisit those once we get additional direction &om the state." The state's third manual snowpack survey of the winter was performed at locations near Echo

Summit off Highway 50. Weeks of spring-like weather have produced more rain than snow, state water officials said, adding that this is the warmest winter on record. "California's historically wettest winter months have already passed, and it's now almost certain that California will be in drought throughout 2015 for the fourth consecutive year," state water officials said.

Unless this month turns out like the so-called "Miracle March" of 1991, when there was significantly more rain and snow than normal, the

state's traditional wet season will endApril 1 with "an alarmingly low amount of water stored in the mountains as snow," state water officials said. In normal years, the Sierra Nevada snowpack suppliesabout 30 percent of California's water needs as it melts in the spring and early summer.

"It needs to be an independent group that does this study, because too many of our districts have ... some self interests. They wouldn't call it that, but I think there are some," he said."I'm interested in thebest possible coverage for ourpeople, not just becauseofthe costofinsurance, but we're talking about people's livesand property here." Mi-WukJSugar Pine Fire Protection District Chief Larry Crabtree spoke at length aboutthe work plan,agreeing with Rodefer that an independent firm should conduct the study because "every district has a self interest, but that includes the city of Sonora, Mi-Wuk/Sugar Pine and the countyfi redepartment." Crabtree said he and other fire chiefs in the county were not included in the develop-

tree said that any consultant working on the study should be"not only unbiased, but &ee &om any and all appearance of bias, "and allstakeholders should benotifi ed and agree upon the mission of the consultant. Crabtree later suggested allowing the Tuolumne County Fire Chiefs Association, of which he serves as secretarytreasurer, to hire the consultant.

Rodefer calledCrabtree's comments "thought provoklilg.

Prior to the board voting to approve the work plan, District 3 Supervisor Evan Royce suggested holding a discussion on the scope of the study at a future meeting. "We don'thave a lotof authority here," he said. "All we have is influence.

NEWYORK(AP) — The U.S. has so much crude that it is running out of places to put it, and that could drive oil and gasoline prices even lower in the coming months. For the past seven weeks, the United States has been producing and importing an average of 1 million more barrels of oil every day than it is consuming. That extra crude is flowing into storage tanks, especially at the

country's main trading hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, pushing U.S. supplies to their highest point in at least 80 years, the Energy Department reported last week. If this keeps up, storage tanks could approach their operational limits, known in the industry as "tank tops," by mid-April and send the price of crude — and probably gasoline,tooplummeting.

'The fact of the matter is we are running out of storage capacity in the U.S.," Ed Morse, head of commodities researchat Citibank,said ata recent symposium at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. Morse has suggested oil could fall all the way to $20 a barrel &om the current $50. At that rock-bottom price, oil companies, faced with mounting losses, would stop pumping oil until

the glut eased. Gasoline prices would fall along with crude, though lower reflnery production, because of seasonal factors and unexpected outages, could prevent a sharp decline. The national average price of gasoline is $2.44 a gallon. That's $1.02 cheaper than last year at this time, but up 37 cents over the past month. See OIL/Page B6

car'sbrain to make decisions.

Currently, cars have the ability to see very little of the world we humans see. A car's u nderstanding is still n owhere near the full capacity of a human driver to make decisions and understand what is going on outside the vehicle. That, however, doesn't mean we can't learn &om the cars perspective, and I think is the bestdescription ofwhere we are technically right now. We are learning from the perspectiveof the car so we can teach it how to drive. In the next few years of research, we will give our cars more control as we hone their ability to "see" our world. We already have an intriguing glimpse of the future with what is available in the marketplace today. There are cars on lots today that can suggest you might need a cup of coffee if it notices you (the driver) are drifting. The steering wheel will vibrateto alertyou that you are out of your lane. It even can assist you with keeping the car in the lane. Even the cruise-control system has been upgraded so a car

Hubb 's retirement lans not to wife's likin DEARANNIE: My husband and I are recently retired teachers who have been able to travel extensivelybecause webudgeted well. I have motion sickness and other health issues that make traveling unpleasant. I want to do less of it, but my husband wants to do more.

My passion for retirement was always tovolunteer.Severalretired teachersset up a store filled with donations where our students can shopfor free. I help out three afternoons a week. Many of the retired teachers have mobility issues and rely on me to carry donated items. When I travel, the others take turns doing the heavy work, but I know it is a struggle for them. My husband's idea of retirement is to spend at least three months as "snowbirds" in Florida. This doesn't appeal to me at all, but as a compromise, I reluctantly agreed to spend one month each year in Florida. The first year was tolerable, but aiter a week, I was bored and missed my volunteer work. I told my husband he was free to stay, but I would return when my month was up. I've looked into volunteer

opportunities in Florida, but everything is at least 30 minutes away, and we only have one car, which my husband uses to go golfing. I have kept my part of the agreement and am getting annoyed at the pressure &om my husband to spend more time in Florida. He knows he can invite other relatives or &iends to join him. I realize these are "high-class worries," but do you have any suggestions for resolving this before we start up again next year?KW. DEAR M.W.: Your husband wants you with him, which is why he keeps pressuring you. Would you consider going for a month in the middle of those months so your husband would feel less alone? How about investing in a smond car so you can do volunteer work in Florida, or per-

haps finding a place to play golf that is within walking distance? There are ways to compromise a bit more if you truly wish to make the effort, but meanwhile, tell your husband we said to knock off the full-court press. DEARANNIE:Please allow me to use your column to say thankyou to someone. I was in a restaurant in The Villages in Florida waiting for my check when the m anager came over and said my dinner was already taken care of. Apparently, a woman paid my bill, saying she was paying forward a hndness that someoneelse had once donefor her. I would like to thank her publicly and assure her that I will be payingit forward as she did for me.—B. DEAR BJ We are always happy to hear of such kindnesses. We have many fans in The Villages, and we hope whoever bought your dinner will see this and know that it was appreciated, and that you will be doing the same for someone else. Thanks for letting us know. DEAR ANNIE: I disagree with your

advice to ~ng To Build a Better Life in the Midwest" to seekways to accommodate her husband's sexual desires. My wife decided in her early 50s that she wastired of sex.I decided that respecting her wishes superseded all "desires of the flesh." A woman has the right to say "no," and any man who has been married for35yearsshouldhavethewisdom to turn his attention to matters other than his sexual appetite. For me, that meant accepting my wife's requests in orderto avoid harassing her. My wife is a beautiful woman and the mother of our adult children. Her attention to the family's needs and her detail in maintaining a beautiful home are examplesofwhy sex is no longer a priority in my life.— RESPECT FOR THE WOMAN I LOVE Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

I am absolutely a believer in natural treatments, when they have been proven to work (as in osteoporosis), but I think you really should consider medication as well. It isn't true that calcium, vitamin D and estrogen are of no help; in fact, they help a lot. Calcium is the essential mineralthatneedstogointoyourbones,so you need to be taking in enough.

Todayin history Today is Wednesday, March 4, the 63rd day of 2015. There are 302 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On March 4, 1865, Prestdent Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated for a second term of office; with the end of the Civil War in sight, Lincoln declared, "With malice toward none, with charity for all." On this date: In 1789, the Constitution of the United States went into effect as the first Federal Congress met in New York. (The lawmakers then adjourned for lack of a quorum.) In 1861, Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as the 16th president of the United States. The Confederate States of America adopted as its flag the original version of the Stars and Bars. In 1913, the "Buffalo nickel" officially went into circulation. In 1930, Coolidge Dam in Arizona was dedicated by its namesake, former President Calvin Coolidge. In 1940, Kings Canyon National Park in California was established. In 1964, Teamsters president James Hoffa and three co-defendants were found guilty by a federal court in Chattanooga, Tennessee, of jury tampering. In 1974, the first issue of People magazine, then called People Weekly, was published by Time-Life Inc.; on the cover was actress Mia Farrow, then co-starring in "The Great Gatsby." In 1989, Time Inc. and Warner Communications Inc. announced plans for a huge media merger. In 1998, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that sexual harassment at work can be illegal even when the offender and victim are of the same gender.

West led his heart ace. Then, judging that South would not have bid six spades with two low hearts in his hand, West did brilliantly to shift to a club. Now declarer had to decide on thetrump split. If it were 2-2, he could drawtrumps ending in the dummy and run the clubs. But South felt that, given West's bidding, 1-3 was more likely than 2-2. Declarer, after winning the second trick in the dummy, cashed the spade ace, then played high clubs, discarding diamonds from his hand. When East ruffed the fourth club, South overruffed, led a low spade to dummy's nine, drawing East's remaining trump, and claimed.

The Sonora Wildcats baseball team made it two straight wins to start its season on Tuesday with a 7-3 road victory over the Ripon Indians. The Wildcats scored five runs in the sixth inning to break open a close contest. Leading 2-1, sophomore Joe Montelongo smacked a two-run single after Bradley Canepa was hit by a pitch and Eric Gilliatt and Johnathan Gillespie both walkei. Nate Gookin followed with a fielder's choice run batted in and Carter Denton added a runscoring single. "It was their first game and they started their No. 1 and he was dealing," said Wildcat head coach Scott Johnson. "But after he left in the fourth, we got on their relievers a little bit. But they're a good team. I think we caught them early. In a couple of weeks, they're going to bealotstronger." Tyler Casteel struck out five in four innings to earn the victory. He allowed just two hits and didn't walk a batter. On Saturday, Gilliatt allowed zero earned runs in six See CATS/Page C2

Cousins, the Kings' first All-Star since 2004, scored 22 points, including 11-for-11 &om the foul line, and pulled down a gamehigh 10 rebounds as Sacramento handed New York its worstlossofthe season,12486, on Tuesday night. He had missed the last two games, both Kings' losses, because of a leA ankle

sprain and left hip bruise. eWithout 'Cuz' we haven't

been ableto do a lotofthem in the last two games, but I thought his passing was big time," Karl said."Cuz did a good job of orchestrating the first unit and Andre (Miller) did agood job oforchestrating the bench. There is a lot of confidence out there be-

causeoftheirpassing." Rudy Gay scored 25 points and Ben McLemorefi nished with 20 for the Kings. Sacramento (21-37) scored the first four points and never trailed. They built

the lead to 16 aRer the first quarter and to as many as 44 in in the second half before winning by 38. Sacramento is now 3-3 since Karl took over on Feb. 17. "I think we did a good job of sharing the ball," Cousins said."Everyone was involved tonight. I think we communicated well early on. I think everyone played within the flow of the game, so it made it a lot easier." A lexey Shved led t h e league-worst Knicks (12-47) with 15 points. Jason Smith and Shane Larkin had 13

each. eWe came out a little flat

tonight and they kind of jumped on us," Larkin said. "They were just out there playing free-flowing basketball." After shooting only 35 percent(7-for-20) from the field in the first quarter, the Knicks (12-47) were even worse in the second, going 6-for-24 for 25 percent. Their previous worst loss was by 28 points to Charlotte at home, 110-82, on Jan. 10. See KINGS/Page C2

49ers sign Australian rugby star to 3-year deal SAN FRANCISCO (AP)Australian rugby star Jarryd Hayne is getting his shot to play in the NFL. Hayne passed a physical and signed a three-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday. The team announced the deal for the undrafted free agent, who said his deal includes $100,000 in guaranteed money. Hayne decided last year

to give up his career in the Australian National Rugby League to pursue an NFL job across the world. He likely will compete for a job as a running back and return man on special teams. The 27-year-old Hayne, who is 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, held a news conference in Sydney to announce he would join the 49ers. San Francisco is beginning to builda roster for new coach

Jim Tomsula, who replaced the departedJim Harbaugh in mid-January after the Niners (8-8) missed the play-

Renowned for his acceler-

ation and counter-attacking skills in rugby, Hayne said he believes he has the ability to make it as either a punt returner or kick returner. The 49ers appreciate versatility and depth, perhaps something Hayne could offer at acouple ofpositions.
