Tuolumne County has several housing and commercial developments in the pipeline, and many residents question whether the county's largest water purveyor can meet these added demands. According to Tuolumne Utilities District General Manager Tom Scesa, the district, which already serves 44,000 residents, can. The key, he said, is freeing up water stored behind Pinecrest Dam. State regulations in effect since 2008 require the lake be kept mostly full through the end of summer. "There's a regulatory drought because we have enough water, but the state will not allow us to access it," Scesa said at a TUD committee meeting Thursday Scesa said Pinecrest's storage is great enough for hundreds and perhaps thousands of additional hookups. This is so, even in a record drought year like this year, he said. He said the lake's owner, Pacific Gas and Electric Co.,has asked the state to lower its lake level requirement in drought years to 5,600feet above sea level.In average to wet years, PG&E wants to move the lake-level reSee TUD/Back Page

OURVIEW

o n en ey retires:

en o anerror John Pendley, superintendent of the Columbia and Belleview elementary school districts, this week announced in

a letter to parents that he plans to retire this summer. We can't say we're saddened. In fact, it didn't come soon enough. While anaffable guy, and apparently good at many administrative tasks, Pendley, it's worth mentioning one last time, caused the districts a great deal of embarrassment and money in the last four years of his tenure. There was, chiefly, the scandal involving his son, Brennan Pendley. The senior Pendley, we'll remind readers, helped get his unqualified son hired in 2010 to be an after-school aide at Columbia. The unsupervised, 23-year-old kid maintained sexual relations with a middle-school student using a campus classroom, and, while Brennan was being investigated by the SherifFs Office, John Pendley sought staffers to write character refPe n dley erences to investigators and helped him get a job at Belleview. Lest we forget, when Brennan came up for sentencing after being convicted of having unlawful sex with a minor and sending explicit texts to the student, his father again crossed ethical lines by encouraging his Columbia staffers to write letters to Judge James Boscoe urging leniency. Many of those letters also trash talked the victim. In the end, the girl complained she was defamed and put in harm's way. The district's insurance company settled for $100,000. Oh yeah, and there was the district's stonewalling over the release of public records sought by this newspaper, and John Pendley's participation in at least three attempts by the Columbia and Belleview school boards to circumvent the state Brown Act — once when members of the public were wronglyinformed by fawning board members that they couldn't comment about the sex scandal at board meetings, once when Pendley orchestrated a secret Belleview board consensus via email on the district's response to a

county grand jury report, and yet again when he suggested the boardat Belleview not release to a reporterthe district's response to the grand jury. Whew.... Where do we end? Maybe with one of the last revealed scandals involving the superintendent: that Pendley grossly exaggerated his academiccredentials. As demonstrated in a story two years back, Pendley obtained a "Ph.D" from an absurd Louisiana diploma mill called La Salle University. Pendley got his degree in 1998, a year before being hired at Columbia. This silly piece of paper certainly made him look more qualified than he was and added to his arrogance (he frequently would correct people who called him "Mr. Pendley" ... Ahem, it's Doctor Pendley.) In a 2012 story, he claimed ignorance of the institution's dubious reputation, even though he graduated two years after the school was raided by the FBI, an event which made national news. The FBI said the owner evaded taxes and was issuing bogus degrees largely to pad government employees' resumes and earn them promotions. As we complained before, this flimsy degree and apparent disregardofacademic standards was an insultto people who value education. Make no mistake, John Pendley, while he was well liked and had some big accomplishments, like overseeing a $24 million campus construction project at Columbia, repeatedly put his interests before those of the public, students and parents in inexcusable ways. His departure, we hope, will allow the Columbia and Belleview schooldistricts to move forward in a more-positive way. A sad note: None of the Columbia or Belleview districts' board members are following Pendley out the door. They were ultimately guilty of allowing the disgrace at their districts to continue for so long.

Fish versus humans is not the real issue To the Editor: Several local writers in the opinion page haveargued that water regulators and environmentalists are choosing fish, like the Delta Smelt over the needs of humans in determining where our scarce water should go. Those writers, like many of our elected officials, are uninformed, or for po-

litical reasons, are ignoring the larger consequences.

Obama administration trying to control your life To the Editor: Since this administration has come into office, several things have happened that concern me. The first is the "Affordable Care Act." Because the government now controls your health care through laws that determine what must be in your health care plan, they can now dictate many parts of your life. For instance, they may require you to eat "healthy"food, and have already decided that certain kinds of health care is tooexpensive ifyou are past a certain age. As a side note, school lunches are alreadycontrolled (mostly by "suggestions" from the unelected First Lady) and by directives about what and how much food is allowed to be served to

— many workers' paychecks are finally going up. Thank you Mr. President. So, let's see, no new issues for the "cons" so they huddled and brought up an old one — Hillary Clinton's emails. This truly was no secret. Remember about a year ago they were talking about those very emails in their scores of"investigative" meetings? Now if they really wanted to know what was in her emails they could have just asked the source that can boast ofhaving everyones personal and private information — the NSA. They know everything. Also, if Congress wanted to know some really secretive and secure government or juicy private information, just ask for Edward Snowden — he was able to getit all— even take itout ofthe country! Now what Congress should be investigating — why was a foreign politician allowed to give a campaign speech, for his reelection, from the podium in our halls of Congress? Even worse, he declared war on another country which makes us com-

The second is the government control of all student loans. It is a short step for the government to tell you that you may only take courses that are "approved," and require you to attend courses that you may not want to attend. Government control has alreadybeen started in thelower grades through "Common Core" curriculum. You may also have noticed that certain government officials (mayors of largercities)want to,or have passed laws controlling how much sugar and salt you may use. This is done either by laws affecting the size or sugar content in sodas, directing the removal of saltshakers from restaurant tables, or taxing any amount of anything considered (by them) to be "too much" or "not good for you." It is obvious that the government knows what is best for you because they seem to think that you are not smart or educated enough to decide for yourself. Alan O'Neill Columbia

LOS ANGELES (AP)Southern California could see record-breaking high t emperatures ove r t he weekend while the rest of the country shivers, the National Weather Service reported Thursday. An enormous high-pressure ridge centered 800 miles offshore is moving toward the region. The domelike ridge will be right over S outhern California o n Saturday and Sunday, with highs of 90 or above in Los Angeles and surrounding cities— some 20 degrees above normal for the period, said Stuart Seto with the weather service in Oxnard. The 90-degree high for downtown Los Angeles on Saturdayisexpected to beat a recordfor the date of 88 that was set in 1951, while Sunday's high of 89 should top the previous high of 85 recorded in 1978, Seto said. Sunday is expected to be so hot that organizers of the annual LAMarathon moved up the start time by a halfhour to 6:55 a.m. Runners also will have access to ice, cold towels, misting stations and even "cooling buses." The region began warming Thursday as offshore winds start heating things up, Seto said. Friday was expected to be

NOTICE OFPACIFIC GAS AND ELEGTRIG GOMPANY'S REQUEST TOINGREASE YOUR RATES FOR GOSTS RELATINGTO DIABLO GANYON SEISMIC STUDIES AND RENEWABLES PORTFOLIOSTANDARD (A.15-02-023) Summary on February 27, 2015, Pacific Gas and Electric company (PG&E)submitted an application to the california Public Utilities commission (cpUc) requesting to increase its electric rates effective January 1, 2016. This application requests approval to recover costs associated with two separate issues. 1. Seismic studies performed at Diablo Canyon Power Plant 2. consultant fees incurred by the cpUC(as directed in the cpUC's Renewables porffolio standard)

pGBE was directed by the cpUc to include the review, and recovery, of these costs in pG&E's annual Energy Resource RecoveryAccount (ERRA)compliance proceeding. Background The Diablo canyon power plant (Dcpp) seismic studies were conducted in response to both the california Energy commission's recommendations and Nuclear Regulatory commission licensing requirements. In Decisions 10-08003 and 12-09-008, the cpUC approved pG&E's proposal for enhanced seismic studies to assess the potential vulnerabilities at DCPPdue to a major seismic event. These Decisions also directed PG8E to submit the cosls for review of the studies in the ERRA Compliance Review proceeding. The costs requested in this application represent seismic study costs that were incurred by pG&E in 2014. The cpUC reviews and approves invoices it receives from independent consultants it has hired to support the cpUC's implementation and administration of the Renewables Porffolio Standard. The Renewables Porffolio Standard is a stste mandate that requires utilities to provide a minimum percentage of their power from renewable energy resources by a certain date. PG&Epays its portion of the costs from independent consultants once the invoices are reviewed and approved by the cpUC.These costs are included for review in this application, as authorized in Decision 06-10-050. PGBE requests to collect $8.974 million in rates from customers who receive electric generation as well as transmission and distribution service from PGBE,known as bundled service cUstomers. Rates for customers who purchase electricity from other suppliers (such as direct access and community choice aggregation) and rates for departing load customers will not be affected by these specific costs. How will PG8E's application affect me? If this application is approved, electric rates will increase by less than one percent for bundled-service customers effective January 1, 2016. Based on the rates in effect on January 1, 2015, a typical bundled-service customer using 500 kwh per month would see an average bill increase of $0.06 (or 0.07 percent), from $88.39 to $88.45. Actual bill impacts will vary depending on your electricity usage. A table presenting more illustrative descriptions of the impact of this application was included in a bill insert announcing this filing that was sent directly to customers in March and April. How do I find out more about PG8E's proposals? If you have questions about PGB E's filings, please contact PGBEat1-800-743-5000. For TDD/TTY (speech-hearing impaired), call1-800-652-4712.

grants arrested 15 people who have been allowed to remain in t h e U .S. under President Barack Obama's executive action intended toprotect children who came to the U.S. years ago with their parents, The Associated Press has learned. Fourteen of the 15 had the Homeland Security Department c onfirmed late Thursday. In at least one case, the Obama administration re n ewed the protectivestatus for a young immigrant after that person's conviction in a diug case, a U.S. oKcialbriefed on the arrests sald.

One of the eligibility requirements for the program is that immigrants not have a criminal history. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because this person was not authorized to discuss the matter by name.

Lead prosecutor Marianne Ny explained the change in position by saying some of the crimes the 43-year-old Australian is accused of will reach their statute oflimitations in August. "My view has always been that to perform an interview with him at the Ecuadorean embassy in London would lower the quality of the interview, and that he would need to be present in Sweden in any case should there be a trial in the future," Ny said in

The law now requires the lake to be maintained at an elevationof 5,608 feet through Labor Day, for recreational purposes. While a 2- to 8-foot difference may seem insignificant, Scesa said each foot of elevation equals 250 to 300 acre-feet of volume, enough for 1,000 homes a year. That water could be applied to developments now on the books, he said. Those include: • the Yosemite National Golf & Wetland Preserve, a $100 million proposed golf, hotel and condo resort at Yosemite Junction s outhwest of Jamestown

They will Ry in pyramid formation, between 6 miles and 250 miles apart, to provide 3-D views of magnetic reconnection on the smallest of scales. Magnetic reconnection is what happens when magnetic fields like those around Earth and the sun come together, break apart, then come together again, releasing vast energy.

Foothills HeadStart programs benefit f'rom participants By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

Head Start and First Five Tuolumne County are lauding AmeriCorps volunteers this week, which is National AmeriCorps Week. The program, which runs September 2014through May, placed two AmeriCorps volunteers in Tuolumne County and one in Calaveras County. All work at Head Start preschools, said Sheila Kruse, director of First Five Tuolumne County.

This is the first year the program has been in place locally. "We hope to continue the program annually," Kruse said. First Five Tuolumne County received money from Prevent Child Abuse California to help fund the program. First Five and the Amador- Tuolumne Community Action Agency, which operates localHead Startprograms, split

the cost of the program and work togetherto oversee it. "The purpose is for members to serve in early education and family support sites," Kruse said. "It's to promoteschoolreadiness." The First Five Service Corps supports school readiness by increasing the individual attention children receive in the classroom, Kruse said. While AmeriCorps members serve in all capacities in the classroom, they are asked to place special focus on curriculum that builds social-emotional development in children.

"I'm very proud and impressed by the work they are doing at the sites," Kruse said. AmeriCorps volunteer Jeannine Loomis said she was a stay-athome mom and respondedto an ad she seeking program volunteers. She was raised in a military family and grew up on military bases overseas and had always wanted the chance to serve her country. "I thought, 'Wow this is a way to help,' " Loomis said Tuesday while helping wrangle preschoolers at the Summerville Head Start. "I'm so grateful for those who've served in the military, and to me, this is little in comparison." "I'm really grateful to be able to help get these kids ready for school," Loomis said.

The little duckling was bullied and ridiculed for being different. He just didn't 'fit in.' Just like most of us, we s ometimes feel like w e don't belong. "The way we see ourselves doesn't always reflect who we really are. When we're bullied, our self-esteemdecreases,and when we look in the mirror we only see the words those bullies tell us.

Kiriluk stayed consistent with a pair ofbirdiesto score a 37 for the second straight day. The strong hitting senior sank two birdies on holes No. 3 and No. 8, respectively. He parred on four holes and bogeyed on the other three. On one particular sequence on the final hole, Kiriluk put

his power on display, reaching near the top of the hill with two swings on the par 5 ninth. His second shot landed about 12 yards right of the green. In comparison, it took his playing mates Mays, Max Wulf and Vince Boyack three attempts each to reach the top. "That's definitely the strong point of my game," said Kiriluk, who verbally committed to play for the Chico State golf program last Tuesday. "I like to take on par 5s every chance I get,so that'sjust the way I play. I play aggressive." Mays had a steady performance, parring on seven of the nine holes. "Sam Mays has squared away his swing," Lee said. "He shot a 38 and that's great for Sam. I'm not sure if that's his lowest round, but he's been kind of up and down.

OUTDooRs Niemi, Sharks top Predators, keep alive playoff hopes

Bass tournaments popular at New Melones

SAN JOSE (AP) — AnttiNiemi made 35 saves to shut out Nashville for the second time this season, and Tomas Hertl scored a power-play goal late in the second period to lead the San Jose Sharks to a 2-0 victory over the Predators on Thursday night. Niemi followed up a 29-save perf ormance i n D ece m b e r with another strong game against Nashville to lead the Sharks to their fourth win in five games. Just as in that 2-0 win on Dec. 13, it was Hertl who delivered the winning goal against Pekka Rinne. Tommy Wingels added an empty-netter. Rinne made 19 saves for the Predators, who have lostseven ofeightgames to fall into a tie for first in the Central Division with St. Louis. The Blues have two games in hand. The Sharks m o ved within three points of Los Angeles and Calgary, who currently hold the final two playoffspots in the Western Conference. Those teams each have a game in hand. Niemi followed an impressive 39-save performance on Monday against Pittsburgh with another big outing. He robbed Craig Smith while sprawled on the ice in the second period and made key saves on two third-period power plays forNashville to protectthe 1-0 lead. Niemi later made a pad save on Mike Fisher, who came in alone short-handed with less than 2 minutes to play. The Sharks struggled to generate many shots against Rinne t hrough

In 1950 I took off from Watsonville Airport en route to Amador County Airport to meet friends for a deer hunt. I was flying a Fairchild PT-19, a vintage training aircraft, many of which became surplus after the war and were sold at low prices.

Friends JasonWood and BrianAnderson topped the field with a total weight of 13.12 pounds. Second placewent to Dave Lingo and hisnephew Josh Lingo (right) with a total weight of 12.27 pounds. Josh Lingo received Big Fish Honors by hauling in the biggest catch of the day, weighing 5.05 pounds. Third place went to buddies Mike Taylor and Robbie Vann with a total weight of 12.05 pounds. The husband and wife duo of Randy andTami Sheppard came in fourth with 11.56 pounds. Finishing out the top five was husband and wife, Dave and Carol Krawchuk, with a total weight of 11.52 pounds.

In his final stop, in Peoria, he took the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers and got San Diego's Rico Noel, the only batter he faced, to bounce out to the pitcher.

Eight and one-half hours after he first took the field at shortstop for the Oakland A's, FerreH played in right field for San Diego in the ninth inning. He had done it. As he walked off the field, FerreH waved his cap and gave a security guard a high five. They say there's nothing more American than grabbing a hot dog, heading to the ballpark, and watching nine guys fmm the Dominican Republic," he said. "... But you know what, today I learned that was wmng. They had eight Dominicans, and one guy fmm Irvine, California."

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED

Check Out The Union Democrat Classified Section 588-4515

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 houniondemocrat.com

Annie's

) Mailbox it's been two years. Mom passed away recently, and now I have to see my sister at Mom's memorial service. She's going to act like nothing happened. I am so hurt by what she did. How can I not scream out what a liar she is? —STILL ANGRY DEAR ANGRY: Our condolences on your loss. A memorial service is not the best place to confront your sister, who will deny your accusations in any event. You could snub her, being polite and friendly to others but decidedly cool to her. You also could simply ask her, "When you get a chance, could you please send me copiesof any photographs of Mom that you have? I miss her." And leave it at that. DEAR ANNIE: After 20 years overseas with the military, my husband and

I are being sent home. This means his family members will be close by. I can't stand his family. They are rude, arrogant know-it-alls. My husband assures me it will be fine, and he is excited toseethesepeople.Isay aleopardnever changesit s spots.These people barely tolerated me when I first met them. Please advise me what to do about this. — NOT A SPOTTED LEOPARD DEAR LEOPARD: It's been 20 years. Surely you have changed in that time. Why wouldn't they? You might discover that they have changed justenough that you can findcommon ground. These people are important to your husband. Instead of approaching this with dread, please open yourself up to the possibility that it will be better than you thinlr. And if not, do what many others in your situation do: let your husband see them without you. But give it your best shot. Your husband will appreciate it. DEARANNK: I read the letter jrom "Sinking Ship in Pennsylvania," whose

husbandneglectsoryellsattheir8-yearold son. I was the oldest of five, with an alcoholic, abusive father who was in the military and spent most ofhis time overseas. And when he was home, he spent it either in a bar or with a local barmaid. I always knew he didn't want me. I've spent my life being treated like a second-class son to my brother and sisters then and now. If this father also thinks no one outsideofthe family sees how badly he is treating his wife and child, he is out of his mind, because you cannot hide this. One of these days, "Jack" will suddenly turn on him, back him into a corner and unleash all of his anger on him, telling him how worthless he thinks he hasbeen as a father. I know, because that's what I did. —BEEN THERE DONE THAT Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime edi; tors of the Ann Landerscolumn.

Treatment decisions balance quality, length of life DEAR DR. ROACH:I'm a very active 67-year-old female who does not sit still. In 2008, I was diagnosed with stage 4breast cancer (breast,spine, lymph nodes). No chemo has been administered, but Ireceived 30 days of radiation for a small tumor on my left knee. For three years I have been receiving Affinitor and exemestane for treatment. I had quarterly meetings with my oncologist, but no tests were done other than blood work. My tumor markers went from 35 in June to64 as of December 2014.At each meeting I was told that followup CTs didn't appear to be needed. In January 2015, CT scans and MRI showed that the cancer had spread like wildfire to include kidney, liver, right shoulder blade and ribs on both sides of my spine. Panic has set in, and I'm being advised that I have two immediate options: standard chemo or a drug called Xeloda, to be administered via eight pills a day, three weeks on, one week oK fora year.Idecided against

Memorial service not place to confront sister DEARANNIE: My sister and I traveled independently to Nebraska in order to care for our mother after she was hospitalized. We were there for two months, taking turns sleeping on an air mattress by herbed.Mo m fi nallywaswellenough totravelback tomy home soIcouldcare for her here. During the time we spent in Nebraska, my sister and I went through Mom's apartment, getting rid of things and sorting through pictures and other stujf. The second night that I slept by Mom's bedside, my sister suggested I stay there and she'dsleepon thesofa.IagreedbecauseI trusted her. My mistake. While I was in Mom's bedroom, my sister went through Mom's stuQ; put things she wanted into boxes and sealed them. When I noticed the new boxes, she said she had just rearranged things to fit better. I'm pretty sure she took several pictures that I wanted, along with a few other items. She denies this and says I don't know what I am talking about. I have no way to prove what she did, but those items have never turned up, and

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. standard chemo. I've been told I could have 30 months' longevity if I proceed despitethe side effects ofXeloda. If you were me would you choose: to take the Xeloda and have poor quality of life or let life not be prolonged by not taking the pill and instead let naturetake its course? Ireally need an outside viewpoint.— N.N. ANSWER: I am very sorry to hear about how your cancer has spread. First oK I really don't understand why your oncologist did not get the appropriate scans tolook forevidence of spread. It sounds like the Affinitor (everolimus, normally used for receptor-posi tivebreastcancerin combination with exemestane in women who

have not responded to other similar

medications) and exemestane (an aromatase inhibitor, which keeps the body from being able to make estrogen) did well for you for a few years. The blood test you got was a tumor marker, possibly CEA, CA 15.3 or CA 27.29, which tends to go up with progression of cancer. Unfortunately, the bloodtestsare notperfect,and in your case it sounds like they did not helpyour oncologistdiagnose the fast growth of the cancer once the medication you were taking became less effecti ve. Xeloda (capecitabine) certainly has high potential for side effects. Depending on the dose, more than half of people will have some side effects, most commonly nausea, diarrhea and hand-and-footsyndrome, which causes redness, numbness or tingling, which may occur in the hands or feet. These sideeffects are dose-related, usually mild or moderate but can be

ably advise giving the medication a try.You may be lucky and have few or mildsideeffects.Ifthe sideeffectsare terrible, you can stop, and they should go away fairly quickly. The dosage can be changed if necessary. I understand that you are looking to maximize the quality of your life, not the length, but breast cancer certainly reduces the quality of life. Xeloda can cause side effects,butitalso may improve both quality and quantity of life, which is why I recommend giving it a try.

TOdayin hiStOry Today is Friday, March 13, the 72nd day of 2015. There are 293 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On March 13, 1865, Confederate President Jefferson Davis signed a measure allowing black slaves to enlist in the Confederate States Army with the promise they would be set free. On this date: In 1781, the seventh planet of the solar system, Uranus, was discovered by Sir William Herschel. In 1925, the Tennessee General Assembly approved a bill prohibiting the teaching of the theory of evolution. (Gov. Austin Peay signed the measure on March 21.) In 1933, banks in the U.S. began to reopen after a "holiday" declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1947, the Lerner and Loewe musical "Brigadoon," about a Scottish village which magically reappears once every hundred years, opened on Broadway. In 1954, the Battle of Dien Bien Phu began during the First lndochina War as communist forces attacked French troops, who were defeated nearly two months later. In 1964, bar manager Catherine "Kitty" Genovese, 28, was stabbed to death near her Queens, New York, home; the case gained notoriety over the supposed reluctance of Genovese's neighbors to respond to her cries for help. In 1980, Ford Motor Chairman Henry Ford II announced he was stepping down, the same day a jury in Winamac, Indiana, found the company not guilty of reckless homicide in the fiery deaths of three young women in a Ford Pinto.

Abraham Maslow, a psychologist who died in West 1970, said, "lf the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail." Try to nail today's problems. First, look only at the North hand. What should North respond after 4 Q107 6 4 3 4 K J 95 2 partner opens one spade? South After you have decided, also look at the South hand. West leads the heart queen against six spades. How shouldSouth plan the play? I KQ3 The North hand is perfect for a four-club splinter bid. This shows at least four-card spade support and game-going values with a singleton Dealer: South (or void) in clubs. Without this agreement, North Vulnerable: Both should make the Partnership's game-forcing S outh We s t No rt h Eas t raise; two no-trump is popular today. Pass The splinter bid would surprise South, since he also has a singleton club, but he would probably recover sufficiently to use some form of Blackwood before settling into six spades. After West leads the heart queen, South has two possible losers (one heart and one diamond) and only11 guaranteed tricks (six spades, two hearts, two diamonds and one club). Declarer must score a third diamond trick — how? The right technique is to lead twice toward the hand with the two honors. So, South takes the first trick, draws trumps ending in the dummy, and plays a diamond to his king. After that wins, he returns to dummy with a trump and leads another low diamond. When the ace pops up, declarer's 12th trick has been established. What if West could capture the diamond king with the ace? Then South would need diamonds 3-3 (or a very unlikely heart-diamond squeeze).
