Auto students work on 1945

logging truck By ABBY DIVINE The Union Democrat

Summerville High School students are working to restore a 1945 logging truck used in the heyday of Tuolumne's West Side Lumber operations. Tom Dibble, the school's auto shop teacher, said this project gives students the opportunity to learn about history while working on the oldest vehicle the shop has had since he started in 1998. Ethan Scott, 16, said he was "stoked" to be put in charge of the truck restoration. "No one can just come tinker around on this truck" without his consent, he added. The truck is owned by Joe Cover & Sons Inc., a Tuolumne logging company. Dave Cover, one of Joe Cover's six sons, purchased the 1945 M-5 International truck in 1998.He delivered the truck to the school on Feb. 16 after he

Scott'sgoal is to have the truck fully operational. On Wednesday, he will work on the truck's carburetor— the device that feeds fuel into the motor. He said in Thursday's class that the project is coming along great. The truck's original engine turned over last week when it was manually cranked, which means the motor is not locked up and there are no oil leaks. The pistons

were checked and seemed to be in perfect condition. However, the only fully functional parts so far are the truck's brakes, accordingto Scott. There are still a lot of parts to be checked, and the work will not be finished until sometime this fall or even next spring. It all depends on the work needed, said Scott. "I want to know the history behind the truck," he added. See TRUCK/Back Page

tions. The water-saving measures are effective April 1. More than 200 people attended Monday's public hearing in the Don Pedro High School gymnasium to hear how their primary water supply at Lake McClure could run out by August. They sat in folding chairs and bleachers, and some asked how they can cut back their water usage. Others asked what a water outage could mean for firefighters, how they can expect totake careoftheirhorses, and why fish downstream are getting more water than human beings. The boardalsovoted 4-0 to declare an emergency pursuant to public contract codes in order to proceed with emergency water supply construction projects without public bidding. The measure — deemed necessary because noticing and advertising for bidding could preclude timely action before McClure water is no longer available — is effective immediately, district General Manager Pete Kampa said.

House approves 'clean' Homeland Security bill By ANDREW CLEVENGER Wescom News Serui ce

WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives voted Tuesday to fund the Department of Homeland Security through the end of the year, ending the possibility of government shutdown. The "clean" funding bill, so calledbecause it did not contain any policy riders designed to block PresidentObama's executive orders on immigration, provides $40 billion for homeland security, enough to fund the department through the end of the fiscal year. The measure passedby a 257-167 margin,with 75 Republicans and 182 Democrats voting yes. All of the 167 no votes came &om Republicans.

Washington Week On Wednesday, the Senate failed to coll ect enough votes to override President Obama's veto of a bill approving the Keystone XL pipeline. In January, the Senate passed the bill endorsing the construction of a pipeline totransport oilfrom tar sands

The Pharmacy says that your Doctor must "Just call your insurance company and tell them why you need the medication." and then you can get your medication from the pharmacy. Your doctor made that decision when he or she saw you and now they must explain it to some person on the phone with a high school educationatbest. Now almost everyone is subjected to this process that delays your treatment by adding an extra step for your physician. What more should the Pharmacy need than a valid prescription?

New pool will benefit community,school To the Editor: Contraryto critics of the pool, and CASBA's opinion that with a little bit of inexpensive renovation the pool would be up-to-date, the pool is failing on more fronts than one, and these "renovations" would

be hugely more expensive than simply building a new, legal pool. I have learned&om attending board meetings that the old pool would have to be essentially redone with changes including, raising the entirepool,and pool-deck three feet, adding an ADA compliant chair lift, and patching, or completely recementing the walls. The planned pool would have ten lanes, be ADA compliant, and have enough space that Sonora High might finally be able to host a swim meet, waterpolo game, or even tournament with enough depth to play in and enough space to have more than six swimmers competing at a time. The new additions of the hand railand ramp to the pool do not make the pool legal. In fact, from what I've read on the Americans with Disabilities Act, they do absolutely nothing to help the legal standing of the pool. The locker-rooms and showers that are connected to the pool are arguably more deplorable than the pool itself. Only about 2/3 of the few lockers even work, and only two, of the five showers in the boys lockerroom function properly. On top of these issues, there is constant standing water in the locker-rooms, making ita breeding ground for bacteria and disease. A new pool would alleviate all of these issues and promote the community's health as much as it would benefit the school with more community members coming during the summer to swim, exercise,

What to tacklenext Weather inequality To the Editor: After Obama takes care of Income Inequality, I hope he sets his sights on another problem that has reared its ugly head — Weather Inequality. It just isn't fair that the centraland eastern parts of the country get so much snow and California gets hardly any. I'm sure the East Coast would be much happier to get less and we could certainly use a lot more. And obviously, since scientistsare agreed that climate change is man-made, isn't it about time they do something to make sure that California gets its fair share of snow? Obama should get out his pen and his phone and take care of this. Sandy McHale Copperopolis

One of the train'scars toppled and the conductor and at least 54 others were injured. It was the third serious train crash in less than two months. Two deadly crashes in New York and California in February killed a total of seven people and injured 30. The oversized flatbed trailer involved in Monday's crash was transporting a modular building wrapped in blue plastic and jammed with electrical equipment, said Lt.

Senatols Hillary Clinton steers clear of focuson email controversy — for now oil industry, clean water SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A hearing by state lawmakers today on problems in California's protection of drinking-water aquifers from thestate oiland gas industry also is slated to focus attention on the way oil companies in the state use high-pressure steam toforceup petroleum. State oil and gas regulators have acknowledged "routinely" allowing oil and gas producers to inject steam underground at pressure so high that it cracks open underground rock formations, in violation ofstate and federal regulation, according to a stateSenate report prepared for today'sjoint hearing by the Senate's environmental q u a l ity and natural resources and

The way that oil companiesin Californiause steam injection to extract oil &om aging oil 6elds came under scrutiny in June 2011, when a Chevron worker, Robert David Taylor, fell into a sinkhole of boiling fluid that opened suddenly in a Kern County oil field. Taylor boiled to death, state authorities found. Environmental groups said Monday that forcing steam underground at pressure high enough to &acture rock formations risks opening up more sinkholes, as well as increasing the risk of oil-field fl uids s eeping into federally protected aquifers holding potential sources of drinking water.

Stanislaus National Forest managers are seeking public comment on preliminary 2016 off-highway vehicle grant applications being considered by the California State Parks OfF-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division. The plans include requests for $27 million in funding for projects including rehabilitation of numerous off-road sites in the Mi-Wok Ranger District near American Camp, Upper Trout Creek, Bourland Mountain, Bourland Creek and Thompson Meadow. One project addresses 37 unauthorized route segments stretching about 11.7 miles. The four areas impacted by ofFroad vehicles covers about 6.57 acres, according totheForestService.

Cover said the truck was one of a fleet of 10 purchased in 1947 by Arnold Nelson from a military surplus yard from the Naval Base in Ventura County in Southern California. The trucks were built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. The trucks never saw combat. When the war ended, the extra

vehicles were sold for civilian use, according to Cover. The truck's history is "100 percent Tuolumne County," having changed hands between local logging companies twice, Cover said. Nelson owned and operated a logging company in Confidence until 1956. He used the trucks to haul timber exclusively for the West Side Lumber Co. in Tuolumne, until the mill closed in 1962, Cover said. In 1951, Nelson's company used the fleet of trucks to haul the logs salvaged &om the Wrights Creek Fire of 1950, which burned about 30,000 acres of Stanislaus National Forest about two miles away from Long Barn. "Just like the logging trucks today are hauling Rim Fire logs," Cover said. Keith Alderman, who owned and operated a Sonora logging company,purchased the fl eet from Nelson in 1957. Alderman used the trucks for several years but phased them out in the early 1960s, Cover

fleet's trucks from Alderman in 1998. It was the second time he had approached Alderman about the trucks. When Cover was a junior at Summerville High School in 1974, he asked to buy the trucks, and Alderman would not sell them. Cover said looking back he realizedAlderman respected the role the trucks had in the history of Tuolumne's lumber days and did not want them to be frivolously altered or taken apart and left in a junk pile. Alderman died shortly after the trucks were purchased, Cover said. He bought the trucks becauseofhispassion forpreserving Tuolumne County's history, especially a part of the logging industry he has worked in since childhood, Cover said. Cover will retain ownership

of the truck and approve and fund allexpenses incurred during its restoration by the students, according to Dibble. Scott told Cover Saturday the engine had turned over. "That is exciting — just great," Cover said. Cover was also happy to learn there were no oil leaks "after all these years of sitting outside." The oil in the truck had not been filled since the early 1960s, because the trucks were no longer in use. 'That's 1960smotor oil,the good stufP." he said. After the truck is restored, it likely will be used in parades to commemorate logging history sald. and Summerville High School, Cover purchased three of the Cover said.

A glaze of apricot preserves, mustard and soy sauce puts a different twist on traditional corned beef.

Sweet glaze brightens Up St. Patrick's Day meal By DIANE ROSSEN WORTHINGTON TribuneContent Agency

Cornedbeefand cabbage might be the ultimate Seriously Simple recipe. What could be easier than slowly cooking a corned beef with winter vegetables? Not much. You can either cook this in a large pot on the stove or use a large slow cooker. The key is to make sure that the meat is fork tender. Youllfi nd uncooked,seasoned corned beef in the meat section of your market this time of year. If you are serving a crowd you will want to double this recipe because a 4-pound corned beefwillserve six at most. Corned beef brisket will shrink more than you think, so plan accordingly. Each year I make the standard cornedbeefand cabbage and itis always well received. This year I wanted to shake it up a bit, so I decidedtoglaze the corned beef and caramelize the cabbage fora surprisingly delicious, yet familiar meal. Cooking in stages is one of the secrets to being a Seriously Simple cook. Here, you can cook the corned beef and saute the cabbage

tourists who look for varied cuisine. Carrot frittelle is a traditional antipasto allover the region of Veneto, where they will substitute the carrotsfor any firm vegetable depending on the season. A savory side dish, carrot frittelle translates to carrotpancakes or fritters.Serve these as a snack with a glass of wine prior to dinner as the brilliant northern Italians do. I cooked these carrotfrittelle sans vino for Mehmet Oz, MD, last fall while on my book tour promoting "America Farm to Table: Simple, Delicious Recipes Celebrating Local Farmers." He loved everything about them, from the vitamin A content to the healthier olive oil used for frying. I'm convinced that, above all ofthe health benefits, Dr. Oz enjoyed this recipe for the very reason I do: the tangy richness ofcoarsely grated feta cheese combined with the flavor of sweet, earthy carrots. In this recipe, I recommend using two cheeses: caciotta and goat's milk feta. But you could substitute local cheeses from wherever you like. Look for a crumbly cheese that will make the flavor somewhat pungent, such as Italian ricotta salata, blue cheese or even Mexican cotija.

Place the shredded carrots in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the eggs, panko bread crumbs, rye flour and caciotta; stir to combine. In a 10- to 12-inch nonstick saute pan, heat the oil. Add the carrot mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, and cook until each fritter is golden brown on both sides. Transfer the fritters to serving platter and repeat until you have used all the carrot mixture. Sprinkle with feta and servewith lemon wedges on the side.

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

Handling of bedbug infestation irks renters DEAR ANNIE: I live in a rental space with my aunt and uncle. We enjoyed it until recently. Here's what happened: During the time we have been here, the rental space has had several different managers. All were nice and tried their best, but this new manager is treating us poorly. "Sally" is evil and rude, and if she's right, you're wrong. Her attitude toward us makes us feel

terrible. We pay our rent every month on time. We try to keep our rental space as cleanas possible.W e are cordialto our neighbors. However, when we got a bedbug infestation, Sally said it was our fault. We have heard from previous residents that they have had infestations, as well. A family had to move out because of this. Another needed to have their rentalspace exterminated before movmg 1I1.

I don't think Sally is totally familiar with infestations. She knew nothing about bedbugs and had to read up

over andover,regardless oforigin, which iswhat may have happened in your space. It is necessary for all of the apartments in the vicinity to be thoroughly disinfected, meaning the neighbors above, below on them. She thinks there is nothing and on either side. wrong with blaming us, yet the fact You can find out who owns the that others on this property have had rentalspaces through your county infestations indicates that the problem government offices, which should has been kicking around for a while, have records of land ownership. and others may have bedbugs soon.

ey. What is your take on this? —OLDFASHIONED IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR PENNSYLV~ The way it works is for close friends and family of the bride to pass the word thatcash or giftcards are preferred, and not include this in the shower invitation. It is also wise for the bride and groom to register for a few items, perhaps from a store they frequent where unwanted items can be returned for merchandise credit. This allows guestswho are uncomfortable giving money to give something else. After all, giving anything is up to the guest, and the couple should show gratitude for whatever is received.

To make informed decison, you need information DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an active 83-year-old man with health issues that include Type 2 diabetes, diverticulitis surgery, bladder cancer and an enlarged prostate. The urologist said I have a small lump on my enlarged prostate and recommended a biopsy, which I am against. If it's slow-growing, jme; if not, little can be done atmy age anyway. What do you say? — E.S. ANSWER: While I u nderstand your point, I don't think I agree with you. A prostate mass is something you should know more about. It's better to make a decision knowing as much as you can, and the risk from a biopsy is small. There certainly are treatmentoptions that are appropriateforan 83-year-old man. Of course, it is your body and your decision, but my opinion is that knowing more can only improve your ability to make a decision about whether

ANSWER: Stop the hydrogen peroxide — it is very drying, and can be damaging to the sensitive skin in the ear. The hydrocortisone you have tried should work for many common conditions, but if it hasn't, then your regular doctor,a dermatologist or ENT doctor should take a look in your ear and see what is going on.

I've tried Cor- lactic shock. Shortly after eating din-

I spent one night in intensive care and one night in a regular room for observation. ARer returning home, I went to an allergist and had many tests performed, including shrimp and lobster allergens, immune globulin and complement levels, and Cl esterase inhibitors. Ireactedtononeofthesetests,soat this point I do not know what caused my reaction. This is disconcerting to

m e, to say theleast. Are there further tests that can be done? Would it benefit me to go to a referralhospital for more-extensive testing? — M.J.G. ANSWER: The most common causes of anaphylaxis — a l i f ethreatening allergic reaction — in adults are foods, medicines and insect stings. If you take no medicines and had no insect stings, then foods are the most likely cause. Alcohol and anti-inflammatory medicines make cornell.edu with medical questiona

Today is Tuesday, March 10, the 69th day of 2015. There are 296 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On March 10, 1985, Konstantin U. Chernenko, who was the Soviet Union's leader for 13 months, died at age 73; he was succeeded by Mikhail Gorbachev. On this date: In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell's assistant, Thomas Watson, heard Bell say over his experimental telephone: "Mr. Watson - come here - I want to see you." In 1914, the Rokeby Venus, a 17th century painting by Diego Velazquez on display at the National Gallery in London, was slashed multiple times by Mary Richardson, who was protesting the arrest of fellow suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst. (The painting was repaired.) In 1933, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake centered off Long Beach, California, resulted in 120 deaths. In 1949, Nazi wartime broadcaster Mildred E. Gillars, also known as "Axis Sally," was convicted in Washington D.C., of treason. (She served 12 years in prison.) In 1965, Neil Simon's play "The Odd Couple," starring Walter Matthau and Art Carney, opened on Broadway. In 1969, James Earl Ray pleaded guilty in Memphis, Tennessee, to assassinating civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. (Ray later repudiated that plea, maintaining his innocence until his death ) In 1973, the Pink Floyd album "The Dark Side of the Moon" was first released in the U.S. by Capitol Records (the British release came nearly two weeks later).

anaphylactic reactions more likely. The battery of tests you sent was pretty thorough. However, the identification of the allergen causing anaphylaxis is made, if it ever is, through an exhaustive history and skin testing if appropriate. Given the seriousness of the reaction, I think I probably would obtain a second opinion. Unfortunately, sometimes the exact cause is never found. People with a history of anaphylaxis, however, need to learn the early symptoms and how to treat themselves with epinephrine.

Groucho Marx said, "I was so long writing West my reviewthat I never got around to reading the book." We have been looking at deals in which knowledge of some percentageswould have aided declarer. However, sometimes card reading is more valuable than odds. Also, what did not happen can be more revealing that what did occur. In this deal, South opens one spade in the fourth position. Then, after North raises to two spades, South adds three points for his singleton and jumps to game. (He also has only five losers, which is the number for a game-bid.) West leads Vulnerable: East-West the club jack. How should declarer read the deal? Souf South starts with three top losers: two hearts pass p a s s p ass and one club. He must play the trump suit 1y pass 2+ p>>> without loss. Taken in isolation, the finesse is a 4y pass pa s s pas s much better bet (50 percent) than trying to drop a singleton king offside (only 6.2 percent). But d + Op ' gl ea: Opening 4J how do the bidding and opening lead affect these odds? When West leads the club jack, it marks East with the ace and queen. (West would not have led the suit from an A-J-10 holding, and would have started with the queen if holding the queen and jack.) Also, that lead marks East with at least one high heart honor, because if West had the heart ace-king, he would have led that ace, not the club jack. So East is marked with at least nine points in hearts and clubs. If he also held the spade king, he wouldhave opened the bidding. South should ruff the second club trick and cash his spade ace. It's his onlv chance.

Salad recipe bursts with fresh flavors r

Citrus offers a welcome respite. When markets begin to overflow with oranges, lemons,

limes and grapefruit, things finally get exciting. You may even see unusual citruses, such as bloodoranges,tangelosand pomelos. Ilove them all, but I particularly adore the sweettart flavor of grape&uits. This time of year, they replace my apple-a-day routine. But grapefruits aren'tjustfor a dessert or snack; they shine in savory dishes, like this salad. The classic fennel and grapefruit salad is a wonderful combination. Crunchy and sweet, anise-flavored fennel goes well with the tart citrusfl avor of grapefruit.This recipe reinvents the salad by adding wheat berries for a wholesome twist. The actual grains of wheat — the berries, as they are called — come in hard and soft varieties, where the hard is higher in protein and the soft higher in starch. Both work fine in this recipe. Once cooked, the berries are chewy on the outside, but tender on the inside. Enjoy them as a side dish like a pilaf or add them to any salad. They are especially nice in thisrecipe asthey absorb the vinaigrette and grape&uit juices. To round out this cool and re&eshing salad, &esh herbs are a welcome addition.

Clips'3ones fined for bumping Warriors' Green

Wildcat Ranch

Redskins baseball

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers were greatly amused and a bit confused by the NBA's decision to fine Dahntay Jones $10,000 Monday for bumping Golden State's Draymond Green during a postgame interview. Jones said he will appeal the ruling, and Clippers coach Doc Rivers sarcastically disagreed with the NBA's decision to level a five-figure fine for the brief contact between the reserve guard and Green, who scored 23 points in the Warriors' 106-98 victory over their rivals in Oakland on Sunday. Green was in the midst of his interview with ABC's Lisa Salters when Jones walked by and bumped into his arm while talking with DeAndre Jordan on the way off the court at Oracle Arena. Green gave a hard stare in Jones' direction, then finished the interview.

49ers may lose Iupati to Camls

PHOENIX (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations says prospects "look good" for a deal between ex-San Francisco 49ers left guard Mike lupati (yoo-PAH-tee) and the Arizona Cardinals. The person, who asked not to be identified because agreements officially can't be announced until Tuesday, said the two sides were in promising negotiations for a contract. lupati started 15 games at left guard for the 49ers last season and is considered one of the top run blockers in the NFL. His addition could mean a move to right guard for Jonathan Cooper, the former first-round draft pick who has struggled to regain his form after breaking a leg before his rookie season. The 6-foot-5, 331-pound lupati is a three-time Pro Bowl player and was firstteam All-Pro in 2012. He has played all five of his seasons for the 49ers after being drafted in the first round — the 17th pick overall — out of Idaho in 2010.

Ferguson raced to second place on a bluebird Sunday. Ethan Perry claimed the top finish in U14 boys on Saturday as Dodge Ridge swept the podium.

ARer Cole Brewster scored on a bases-loaded walk, Dailey recorded an extra-base hit of his own to drive in two more runs. Elias Hidalgo, a pinch hitter, let fly a single and added to the Bears onslaught by tallying two more RBI. ''We did a lot of things in the fifth," Farrell said. "We took some walks.

The coaster, a gravitydriven ride close to the ground, would allow riders to coast through the forest at their own pace by operating a brake. Plans also call for a"sky cycle," a bicycle-like device suspended from a cable that visitors can pedal to move along the treetops. While most public comments to the Forest Serviceabout the projectwere supportive, the Tahoe Area Sierra Club Group raised several objections. The project will increase congestion in the Tahoe Basin during the busiest time of the year for visitation, said Laurel Ames, the group's conservation committee chair. The Forest Service's release of its draft decision initiated a 45-day period during which public comment on the plan will be accepted.

there were complications. Or perhaps Willis, a thoughtful man, has studied the latest pro footballconcussion data and wants to exit the meat grinder while he's still ahead of the game. Either way, the 49ers will have a hard time replacing what Willis meant to the team on the field and off the field, where he was a team leader. You could say the same for Gore and Smith. New coach Jim Tomsula was definitely not helped by Monday's events. He is not as dynamic a personalit y asformer coach Jim Harbaugh. Nor does Tomsula have the credibility as a former NFL player himself. He'll need as much veteran support in the locker room as possible. Willis, Smith and Gore could have been key elements in providing that support. The overriding thought Monday was that the 49ers' current window to championships closed firmly. With a hard slam.

Also Monday, 49ers' offensive guard Mike Iupati (a three-time Pro Bowler) was reported on his way to the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent.Wide receiver Michael Crabtree also seemed likely to sign elsewhere when the free agency period officially opens Tuesday. Then, toward sundown, we learned that the Santa Clara police arrested 49ers fullback Bruce Miller last week for spousal battery, in spite of the NFL's ongoing campaign against domestic abuse. But wait, there's more! A story by a Houston reporter claimed that the 49ers were shopping quarterback Colin Kaepernick for a possible trade (Baalke quickly and firmly denied it). And there

That much should not be forgotten as Johnson, fresh off another World Golf Championship title that renewed his credentials as an elite player, tries to move forward even as there are lingering questions about his past. And those questions linger in part because the PGA Tour doesn't release all information about suspensions. "We don't think the fans really want to know about most of the stuff we would be talking about," Commissioner Tim Finchem said Sunday. "We don't think there's a large volume of it, and we don't think much of it is very serious." Heading into the final major oflast year, Johnson was No. 5 in the Ryder Cup standings, a lock to make his third straight team. He was No. 4 in the FedEx Cup, poised for a shot at a lucrative payoff.
