We have a lot of AB 109 people in jail now. We never had to keep a felon in county jail for more than a year (before). Now I think there's some counties that have 15-year commitments. That's a long time to keep them a county jail. Looking back now, I think this is why the state gave away all this money to build jails.... They saw this coming down the road and this is just a stepping-stone. They are way ahead of us. We're happy to get a new jail, then, next thing you know, here they come.

YOUR VIEWS Preventing progress To the Editor: It seems that the city of Sonora has found a way to deal with over development during a water shortage — raise the building permit feesi That's a sure way of slowing growth. Another way is to spend a lot of money on toys for the few at the expense of the many by passing bond obligations that make building here lessattractive.

many problems, and administrators along with the board and the community have since taken action. However, not once during my four years did inadequate academic facilities hinder my academic success. Late-night practices in a tiny pool sure were problematic though. The Sonora High pool is the smallestand shallowest in itsleague,and there isnot adequate space to conduct a competitive program with 3-4 practicesdaily. 10-20-student teams each need 1.5-2.5 hours in the pool so teams overlap, but some can'tbegin theirpracticesuntil6:00 p.m. Also, water polo is normally played in 200-600 square-meters of 6-7'deep water,but less than 100 square-meters meet depth qualifications. Additionally, the pool is crackingas tiles and plaster break off, and changing rooms have inadequate ventilation and drainage so standing water, mold, and rust are rampant. Some argue that the water polo team's inconvenience is not reason enough tospend public money on a new pool. Perhaps the public should let the pool break down, watch the programs deteriorate, and send athletes home to watch television, and join the growing teenage obesity

Man shot by police on Skid Row ID'd L OS ANGELES — A homeless man who was shot to death by police during a Skid Row confrontation over the weekend was identified T hursday under his t r u e name — not the stolen identity he had used for years. Charly Keundeu Keunang, 43, was listed as being indigent and homeless, and he died from multiple gunshot wounds, accordingto the Los Angeles County coroner's office. Keunang,a native ofCameroon, was known on the streetsas Africa." He was killed on Sunday by police officers answering a robbery report.

NYC landing mishap raises questions NEW YORK — The rough landing of a Delta jetliner at LaGuardiaAirport in a driving snowstorm just minutes after the runway had been plowed has raised questions about when airports should close runways due to snow or ice. Six people were hurt when the plane skidded off a runaway midday Thursday and crashed through a chain-link fence,its nose coming to rest

i a i n on emai rove reviewe WASHINGTON (AP) — The government will examine thousands of Hillary

Rodham Clinton's emails for public release— and forpossible security lapses — afterrevelations she used a private account to conduct official business as secretaryof state,a senior State Department of5cial said Thursday. Clinton's extensive use of private emails has raised questions in the buildup to her expected presidential run about whether she adhered to the letter or spirit of accountability laws. The official said the department would review 55,000 pages of emails amassed from Clinton's personal files to determine if there were any instances where she improperly transmitted sensitive information. The official was not authorized to be quoted on the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity. State Department policy holds that information that is not classified as secret but contains sensitive national security or diplomatic information can only be conveyed on secure channels

exceptforcertain circumstances, the official explained. Clinton's extensive use of private emails heightened security risks for her communications, chiefly the potential for inadvertent disclosure of such sensitive information and danger from hackers, several information security expertstold TheAssociated Press. Secretary of State John Kerry, in Saudi Arabia, said Thursday his department'will undertake this task as rapidly aspossiblein ordertom ake surethat we are dealing with the sheer volume in a responsible way." Officials said Thursday the review could take months to complete, potentially a drawn-out distraction for Clinton and an unnerving development for the many Democrats who see her as the party's presidential nominee-in-waiting for 2016. The review was prompted bythe disclosure that Clinton, in a departure from predecessors,relied exclusively on the private account for

The foundation has also been a regular supporter oflocal arts endeavors,including Sierra Repertory Theater. 'They've been extremely generous to SRT," said Beverly Handelman, developmentdirector. The Sonora Area Foundation has been a regular funding partner of a localdental disease prevention program, SmileKeepers, which is operated through the Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Office. 'That one tugs at our heartstrings — making sure little kids' mouths are clean," said Margie Bulkin, Tuolumne County's superintendent of schools. "They do matching funds, which fosters a collaborative giving spirit." SmileKeepers is in its 20th year and "it really speaks to a lot of people's giving endeavors to help children," Bulkin sald.

"Schools in particular are just incredibly grateful to the generosity of all the donors of the Sonora Area Foundation," Bulkin said. One of the best things about the foundation is that, besides funding projects people seek assistance with, its staff connects willing donors to worthy causes, Bulkin said. There was a donor who noticed local kids who were lacking in basic needs and approached Wyllie about helping in some way. Wyllie asked Bulkin if she had any ideas, and she invited him to an "Every Student Counts" breakfast. It is an annual event where local schools honor students who have overcome difficulties. The donor now gives college scholarships to high school seniors who get that honor. 'They reach out to help in areas that we may not even think to ask for help," Bulkin said. "The work they do rounds us out and helps complete the circle." For more information on the Sonora Area Foundation, visit www.sonoraarea.org.

Teachersurgeremovalofmorality clauses SAN FRANCISCO (AP)Teachers and staff &om four Catholic High Schools in the San Francisco Bay Area are urging their archbishop to remove morality clauses from thefaculty handbook. Teacher Jim Jordan said Tuesday a petition with 355 signatures of teachers and staff collected in the past two days will be delivered to Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone by union representatives. The clauses recently proposed by Cordileone outline

the church's teaching that sex outside of marriage, homosexual relations, abortion, masturbation and the viewing of pornography are "gravely evil." The language "undermines the mission of Catholic education and the inclusive, diverse and welcoming community we prize at our schools, "said Jordan, who is an English teacher in San Francisco's Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory. State lawmakers have criti-

cized the statement Cordileone proposed adding to the faculty handbook and asked for a probe of working conditions atthe archdiocese' s four San Francisco Bay Area Catholic high schools. Late Tuesday, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors joined the criticism and passed a resolution asking the conservative Catholic leadertorespectthe rights of teachersand administrators, the San Francisco Chronicle reported (httpllbit.ly/W).

On Feb. 6, Secretary of the Army John McHugh announced that s ervicemembers who were mortally wounded or injured during the attack carried out in 2009 by U.S. Army Maj.

P reviously, t h e Pu r ple Heart has only been awarded to t r oops who were injured or killed in action.

"The Purple Heart's strict eligibility criteria had prevented us from awarding it to victims of the horrific attack at Fort Hood," McHugh s a i d. "Now that Congress has changed the criteria, we believe there is sufficient reason to a l low t h ese m en and w omen t o

"Just a really, really nice, wonderful first day," he said after a 2-2 tie against Barry Zito and the Oakland Athletics. Travis Wood pitched two perfect innings for a splitsquad of Cubs, and Mike Olt hit a two-run homer in the second inning. Maddon opted out of his contract with Tampa Bay over the winter and then agreed to take over the Cubs, who begin the year with big expectations afler an active offseason.

"I thought we played well," he said. "Oakland pitches well always." Zito pitched two innin@ in his first spring game for the A's after taking last year off The lefthander allowed two hits, struck out two and walked none. Zito retired his first five batters, induding strikeouts of Starlin Castro and Miguel Montero. But he hit Chris Coghlan in the second and then yielded the long drive to left by Olt. "That changeup, got to tip my hat to that guy. He squared it up pretty good," Zito said."That's still apitch right now that the consistency is not there yet, but I saw some good things." Zito hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since Sept. 29, 2013, with San Francisco. He agreed to a minor league deal with Oakland in February and gets a $1 million, one-year contract ifhe makes the 40man roster.

He struck out Coco Crisp leadingoffthe game and also fanned Mark Cauha for his final out.

"I learned a lot last year (about) when you fail, picking yourself back up and getting back after it," Wood said. 'That's what we took into the offseason andhopefully we keep moving forward.

Shooters battle through rain at trap shoot +-

Len Ackerman

Last Saturday a competitiontrap shoot took place at the Mother Lode Gun Club which was arranged by Aubrey Modrell of Sonora High as her senior project. It wasa day ofoffand on rain, heavy at times, but the event drew large numbers of shooters, ranging in age from 9 to the mid- 80s. One family of note was the Alderman family of Big Hill. The two younger family members were McKenna, age 10 and Roger age 9. Several years back, when I began trap shooting at the gun club, I, and the late Roger Alderman, used to have some friendly competition with our vintage shotguns. Placings at the shoot were as follows: Youth division -1st Tanner Moyle - 2ndColton Castro; Men's division - 1st - Cody Griffith 2nd -Frank Rands; Women's division - 1st - Trish Castro - 2nd -Genna Modrell; Senior division - 1st - Mike McDonough - 2nd - Jay Dugan. I will have further details next week.

sive line. The 49ers finished 8-8 and out of the playoffs for the first time in four years, dealing with injuries to several key defensive stars. San Francisco had reached the three previous NFC championship games and lost in the Super Bowl following the 2012 season. San Francisco also signed wide receiver Jerome Simp-

son to a two-year deal Thursday. Simpson was released by the Vikings last September following further o ff-field troubles involving drugs and alcohol that earned him a three-game NFL suspension for violations of the league's substance-abuse policy. The 49ers have employed several players with legal problems in recent seasons,

promptingCEO Jed York to say after 2014 ended that the team needed to be better. San

Francisco had 10 arrests involving six different players since January 2012, most in the NFL. "Our mission is very simple: the San Francisco 49ers win with class.

A second-round pick by the Bengals in 2008, Simpson playedhis first four seasons in Cincinnati before joining Minnesota. His 726 yards receiving were a career high in 2013, which came on 48 receptions with one touchdown catch.

That's not the only change in the Pacquiao camp for the fight that will almost surely define his career.

Instead of doing much of his early training in the Philippines, Pacquiao will spend his entire camp in Southern California. He'll spar less, likely 90 to 95 rounds instead of the usual 150, because Roach wants to keep his legs fresh at age 36. First, though, he'll make a music video to go with a new song the erstwhile singer has recorded for his walk into the ring. "Manny asked if he could do it and I said OK," Roach said. "I don't see it as a distraction because his work ethic isso great." Roach, who played a big partin getting the fight made by bringing promoterBob Arum and CBS chairman Les Moonves together for talks, said he and Pacquiao have a higher calling than just winning a fight. "Manny will be performing a public service for boxing when he beats Floyd," Roach said.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED

In April 2015, The Union Democrat will start morning paper delivery Tuesday through Saturday. In anticipation of this exciting change, we are seeking interestedIndependent Contractorswho enjoy working nights and/or mornings before most people get out of bed. Newspapers will be ready for pickup at our Production Facility on Camage Ave. starting around 1:00 a.m.

The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation. They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h Ouniondemocrat.com

Numerous routes will be available because of scheduling conflicts with some of our current Independent Contractors. Be our own boss andincrease our rofits throu h our ownsales efforts!

Must be 18 years of age with reliable transportation, proof of insurance and have a current CA Driver's License. Come to our Production Facility at 14989 Camage Ave. to fill out a carrier interest form.

DEAR ANNK: A while back, you printed a letter from "Cousin of a Squatter," whose 53-year-old cousin parked his van on her property and wassupposed to leave after 6ve months. She wanted him out. Years ago, when I had to insist that a friend move out of my house, I couldn't bring myself to throw his possessions onto the street. Instead, I threatened to put his stuff into a rented storage bin and told him I'd give him a bill for the second month's rent, plus the key. This prompted him to move.

areasalso seemed to have lower dementia levels. However, much more researchneeds to be donebefore Icould recommend lithium as a supplement for brain health. By the way: The usual dose for lithium in people with psychiatric conditions is around 1,000 to 1,800 milligrams daily. The content in drinking water in some areas is as high as 0.17 milligrams per liter. Drinking about 6 liters a day would get you only a thousandth of the usual daily dose. I can't even speculate on what dose might be appropriate as a supplement. Dr. Roach regrets that heis unable to anst//er letters, but will incorporate them

Todayin history Today is Friday, March 6, the 65th day of 2015. There are 300 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On March 6, 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Dred Scott v. Sandford that Scott, a slave, was not an American citizen and could not sue for his freedom in federal court. On this date: In 1933, a national bank holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt aimed at calming panicked depositors went into effect. Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, wounded in an attempt on Roosevelt's life the previous month, died at a Miami hospital at age 59. In 1965, actress Margaret Dumont, perhaps best remembered for playing the foil in Marx Brothers comedies, died in Hollywood at age 82. In 1967, the daughter of Josef Stalin, Svetlana Alliluyeva (ah-lee-loo-YAY'vah), appeared at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi and declared her intention to defect to the West. In 1983, in a case that drew much notoriety, a woman was gang-raped atop a pool table in a tavern in New Bedford, Massachusetts, called Big Dan's; four men were later convicted of the attack. In 1995, "The Jenny Jones Show" taped an episode on same-sex crushes during which Jonathan Schmitz learned his secret admirer was an acquaintance, Scott Amedure; three days later, Schmitz fatally shot Amedure. (Schmitz is serving a 25- to 50-year prison sentence for second-degree murder; the episode was never included in the "Jenny Jones" syndication package, but did air on Court TV.)

(If South had the spade We s t Nor t h Eas t ace as well, he would have rebid two spades, then S outh the last two bids would have been the same.) South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, two hearts ,two diamonds and two clubs.The obvious line for two more tricks is to play on diamonds, where only a 3-2 split is needed (a priori, 67.8 percent). To attack clubs requires a 3-3 break (a priori, 35.53 percent). And if the spade ace is in the South hand, that is the right line. Declarer should take the first trick and duck (lose) a diamond. However, with the spade ace in the dummy, South can get home if either diamonds are 3-2 or clubs are 3-3, which raises the a priori odds to 79.25 percent. Declarer, after taking trick one, should cash dummy's top diamonds. If the suit splits 3-2, he plays a third round and coasts home with an overtrick. But when diamonds break badly, South turns to clubs and, with this layout, makes his contract. If your children do not play bridge, teach them immediately!

Hampshire, has four dogs — two that will wear boots and two that

People aren't the only ones suffering from a seemingly endless winter of bone-rattling cold, record-busting snow and ice-slick sidewalks. Pooches' paws feel the pain, too. While millions of residents from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast shovel snow deep into the season and hunker down awaiting relief, their dogs are either missing out on walks or left vulnerable to injury with each salt-coated step. Rock salt and shards of ice can cut feetor getwedged between toes,deicing chemicals can burn paw pads and frostbite can happen. That's led toa late-season boost in sales of doggy boots, which can be an annoyance for canines but allow owners to protect pets that are like family. Malia Ebel of Concord, New

won't or can't. Either way, when it

dips below zero, Ebel cancels the crew's two daily walks. 'My two little dogs won't go out the I'ront door without them when it's snowy," she said of the dog boots worn by her Cavalier King Charles spaniel mixes. Ebel trained 13-year-old Seymour and 12-year-old Sanders when they were young to wear boots, which are anecessit y instead ofa fashion choice. 'My dogs don'thave a problem with the snow; it's the salt that hurts theirfeet," she said."So it's great that theirfeet are protected and they can walk on the street all winter. In a winter like this, there has been so much snow and they've had to salt the roads very consistently."

The persistent winter has pushed Boston close to its 20-year-old snowfall record with more than 100 inches and seemingly froze Niagara Falls in place. While people throw up their hands at each new storm, the weather is giving a boost to pet clothiers. At the Barker & Meowsky Paw Firm in Chicago, the number of bootssold each day in the last six weeks was four times higher than a typical day this winter, company President Alice Lerman said. "Some days all we sold were boots," she said of the pet boutique that sells clothing, furniture and carriers for cats and dogs. Boots called "Muttluks," fleecelined boots that resemble furry Mukluks for people, were good sellers,asw ere Pawz disposable booties that look like balloons and come in 10-packs.

But the boots that sold out every day were a new product called Saltsox. They slip on easily, stay dry and come shapedlike a dog'sfootso they won't fall off as oAen, Lerman said. There are even less intrusive options: Musher's Secret wax was designed for sled dogs and forms a shield on paws to keep ice and salt out. Bag Balm moisturizer and Vaseline also can be used in a pinch. Boots are a begrudging necessity forWendy Olcott' s golden retriever, Sunny. Living in Contoocook, New Hampshire, her 12-year-old dog learned to wear boots as a puppy for their long walks. But that doesn't mean Sunny likes them. "Sunny didn't like wearing the boots initially, and she still, all these years later, doesn't like wearing them," she said. But walks go faster with the foot-

wear because the dog doesn't have to stop to get the snow out from between her toes, Olcott said. Shelters also are struggling this winter. At the Worcester Animal Rescue League in Massachusetts, keeping about 60 dogs and cats and two bunnieswarm and clean has made laundry a never-ending chore, Executive Director Allie Tellier said. W orcester received 92.1 inches of snow through mid-February. Some days, workers and volunteers can't get to the shelter, and whoever is closest has to trudge in to feed the animals. When it's 20-below, even the housebroken dogs won't do their businessoutside,leading to messes, Tellier said. But when the hardier dogs goout,many come back holding up frozen paws.
