California Department of Fish and Wildlife interpreter Gail Davis (right) talks to Tenaya Elementary School second-graders about water animals found in the forest.

Tuolumne County officials are still hearing from area homeowners about skyrocketing fire-hazard insurance rates, and plan to forward those concerns to the California Department of Insurance within a couple of weeks. Some people have reported that they were recently dropped &om their homeowners' insurance plans, and others say their rates have gone through the roof, with companies citing fire ratings and perceived wildfire risks as reasons.

Insurance brokers and real estate professionals say they first started seeing insurance ratesfor fire-hazard coverage rise at leasttwo years ago,even beforethemassive 2013 Rim Fire swept through the area. "It's been an ongoing battle for the past

iSIiC a Orne Union Democrat Opinion Editor Craig Cassidy last week sat down with Tuolumne County District Attorney Laura Krieg to discuss her first three months in office. Among the topics discussed were AB 109, a 2011 state law that released thousands of prison inmates considered to be low-risk,and Proposition 47, the November ballot initiative that made most drug possession and theft crimes misde-

What drew you to the law? Well, I don't have a background or a family of lawyers. I'm a sixth-generation native of Tuolumne County, so I grew up here and attended school here. I always really enjoyed history and political science and that's sort of where my passion was. So when I went to U.C. Berkeley for my bachelor's degree, I majored in political science. Initially, I thought I was going to become a lobbyist. I thought,'I want to go to Washington D.C. and I want to work in the capitol and be a lobbyistforsome sortofcompany. ' As I worked on my degree, I realized, especially in Washington, that bachelor's degrees were becoming a dime a dozen, and most people were moving on and getting graduate degrees. I thought, well, I wasn't satisfied with just stopping after receiving my bachelor' sand so Ilooked atgetting a Ph.D and sort of was really drawn to law school and I thought that I wanted to do something that would help communities and that sort of thing. And so I thought about criminal prosecution and entering into law. I decided to apply to law school. When I was accepted, I realized my true passion was in criminal law. So I completed three years of law school at Notre Dame and was recruited by a law firm out of San Francisco called Thelen, Reid and Priest during my second year in law school. I knew I wantedto come work as a prosecutor but I had over $100,000 in student loans.... As an elected DA I'm still not making as much as I

ence with some of the elderly in the community about signs of things to look for, like abuse and fraud. We're also trying to work more with parents and children so they know what signs to look for in child abuse cases, like sexual abuse, to make sure people know how to report these things.

What are the most commontypes of crimes your office is handling? You mentioned crimesagainst children? It's not just something we're seeing in Tuolumne County, but across the state.

With AB 109 and Prop 47, we've seen an infiux of offenders released back into the community. People who were previously incarcerated.... Prior to 2011, you had over 160,000 inmates in California. It's down to 112,000. So you have this massive release of inmates. They were classified as nonviolent, low-level inmates. However, not all of them are nonviolent. You have to look at how you define "nonviolent" and "low level."... Then there's Prop 47.

This includes the Victim Witness program. I have three advocates, which includes the supervisor-manager who served 170 victims last year.

ly correlates with AB 109 and Prop 47. Because, again, AB 109 took out 500 felonies and made them where you could not send a person to prison. All your property-type crimes — theft and commercial burglaries — regardless of how many priors they have — you cannot send those people to prison. So I think the fact we have had these recent trends in legislation and the massive release of people into communities has a direct correlation with the crime we are seeing.

So what we want to do is educate the community on the services we

offer. What we can do to help victims of crimes. There are compensation services,relocation services, counseling. It's our goal to improve our community outreach and be more present and prevalent in the community so people realize what we really do and what we are there for. That's the second thing. The third thing is I have some concerns in some of the trends in crime I'm seeing in Tuolumne

YOUR VIEWS

With AB109or Prop47, any interesting casescomethrough? Prop 47 is fairly new, it went into effectNov. 5,but itwas retroactive, so everyday we are getting stacks and stacksof petitions for people who have prior convictions seeking to have them reduced to misdemean-

ors. You know, what we are seeing a lot of is people applying to have their felonies reduced to misdemeanors when the conviction doesn't even

qualify. So you have a lot of people just filing these petitions in hopes they are going to have their convictions reduced, and their convictions aren't a qualifying offense. Prop 47 took all your simple drug

possession cases and made them misdemeanor cases, no m atter what kind of drug it was — heroin, daterape drugs,cocaine.Allofyour straight possession offenses... Italsotook a hostoftheftoffenses that were previously felonies and reduced them to misdemeanors unless the theft was over $950. Or you had a prior "Super Strike" — things like m urder, rape, torture.It's a host of crimes. We had a guy who had two prior convictions for robbery — which is a normal strike but not a Super Strike under Prop 47. He had picked up a drug case and essentially petitioned to havethat case reduced to misdemeanor and he qualified because he wasn't a 290 registrant and his prior convictions were not for Super

Strikes. He was released ... He was serving a sentence of 8 years and he just got released. I don't think some one with two prior convictions for robbery is a low level ofFender. Correlating with AB 109, we have alsoseen a number ofearly release programs with the Board of Parole... Another thing that is coming down &om the Board of Parole Hearing and the Governor's Office is these early release programs.

One of the most offensive is what's called "elder parole" for people who have reached the age of 60 and have servedatleast25 yearsoftheirsentence....

What sort of crimes against senior citizens are youseeing? We see &aud, abuse and neglect. The most common are the fraudtype cases,theft from an elder, often times by caregivers or by family members who are acting as caregivers. We have a host of cases where the caregiverhas the elder's creditcard to go out andbuygroceries andhome supplies and then what happen is you start to see bank withdrawal. A hundred dollars here, $800 there. Sometimes elderly people aren't checking their bank statements. The way it's often detected is a family members from out of town come up and go through their finances and see these statements with charges to casinos.... That's often how it is discovered. The other areas — I prosecuted a caregiver last year who was drinking to excess while providing care for this woman. The woman was chairbound and needed to be changed and bathed. She did not change her for 48 hours so the woman she sat in her chair in her own feces. Was not fed. She went without food, without water, and without being changed for two days because this woman was neglecting her. A family member went over and discovered she was starving and listless. So the gamut runs from physical abuse to the more common financial abuse.

Lawmakers headto Cuba on trade trip SACRAMENTO — Democratic members of the California Assembly announced Thursday that they're heading to Cuba fora fi ve-day agricultural trade mission next week as the U.S. considerseasing economic restrictions against the island nation. Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins and Assemblyman Henry Perea, a F r e sno Democrat who chairs the agriculture committee, will lead seven other lawmakers while the Legislature is in spring recess. They will be joined by ranchers, farmers and Darius Anderson, a Sacramento lobbyist who alsoleads trade missions to Cuba. The lobbyist's group, Californians Building Bridges, is helping organize this trip. President Barack Obama is seeking to re-establish diplomatic ties with Cuba after a 50-year U.S. ban on trade and travel.

SenateOKs balanced budgetplan WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans muscled a balanced-budget plan through the Senate early today, positioning Congress for months of battling President Barack Obama over the GOPs goals of slicing spending and dismantling his health care law. Working into today's pre-dawn hours, senators approved the blueprint by a near partyline 52-46 vote, endorsing a measure that closely follows one the House passed Wednesday. Both budgets embody a conservative vision of shrinking projected federal deficits by more than $5 trillion over the coming decade, mostly by cutting health care and other benefit programs and without raising

leaving Congress' two GOP-run chambers to negotiate a compromise budget in mid-April. The legislation is a nonbinding blueprint that does not require Obama's signature but lays the groundwork for future bills that seem destined for veto fights with the president. "Republicans have shown that the Senate isunder new management and deliveringon the change and responsible government the American peopleexpect,"said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Democrats viewed the document differently, saying it relied on gimmickry and touted the wrong priorities. "The budget we passed today is irtaxes. responsible and fails to effectively inThe Senate was beginning a spring vest in our future," said Sen. Barbara recessafter approving the measure, Mikulski, D-Md.

NEWS NOTES

The budget's solidly ideological tenor contrasted with a bipartisan bill the House overwhelminglyapproved Thursday permanently blocking perennial cuts in physicians' Medicare fees. It too will wait until April for final congressional approval by the Senate, with McConnell saying his chamber will handle it "very quickly when we get back." Though doctors face a 21 percent cut in Medicare fees April 1, the government can delay processing those payments until Congress' return. The measure, which also provides money

for health care programs for children and low-income people, would be partly financed with higher premiums for top-earning Medicare recipients.

Pelosi irks allies over bipartisan bill

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Iran's foreign minister is criticizing Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen but says the focus at nuclear talks between his nation and six world powers remains on reaching a deal. Mohammad Javad Zarif leads the Iranian delegation at the talks. He said today that Iran condemns the air attacks on Yemen's Shiite rebels. He says the air strikes "have to stop and everybody has to encourage dialogue and national reconciliation in Yemen." The violence is straining relations between the Sunni Saudis and predominantly Shiite Iran.

the bill. The Director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division would be able to sanction or revoke a license of a business that broke the law. R epublican Rep. D a n Douglas of B e ntonville said California's voter-approved 2008 egg law has created a"nightmare" for Arkansas producers. The California Legislature in 2010 extended those requirements to al l e ggs sold in the state — which has barred some Arkansas eggs from cooped-up hens. ''We have to show the state of Calif ornia they cannot force their standards on us," Douglas said. Douglas also warned lawmakers that the egg ban is a s lippery slope that could lead to other infringements. "It's eggs today.Is it chickens tomorrow or cattle on down the road? Is it air quality restrictions?" Douglas said. "This could be just the beginning." Douglas previously said he wrote the bill primarily to send a strong anti-reg-

and that the proposed law would disrupt existing distribution contracts. Republican Rep. Stephen Meeks of Greenbrier voted against the bill and said the ban would harm Arkansas residents by limiting what they can buy. He also worried the bill could prompt retaliation &om California lawmakers. "Where does it end?" Meeks asked.'When states start issuing tariffs against each other or putting up a lot ofbarriers I think that's probably not a good precedent to set for the economic future of the country."

Continued from Page Al Sixth-grader Ani Loh, 11, said she remembers when her mom told her about the Rim Fire for the first time. "She said it was a big fire," Ani said. "We have a ranch called Spinning Wheel and she said two houses there burned down.... I remember goingtothe ranch and seeing a bunch of trees burned. I was sad about the houses. Shocked." Being out i n

where the Rim Fire damaged part of the forest helped put the fire in perspective, Ani said. "It's cool we're doing this now," she said. "To re-grow more trees and replant trees." Between August and O ctober 2013, the Rim Fire burned 257,314 acres, including 154,530 acres in the Stanislaus National Forest and 77,254 acres in Yosemite National Park. The Groveland area was one of the most denselypopulatedcommunities closest to the gigantic blaze. In addition to tree planting, Stanislaus staff had education stations set up around the campground so the Groveland children could learn more about their forest, including the water cycle, fire ecology, wildlife, soil, and forest products. Tenaya Principal Wynette Hilton seemed tohave as much fun as her students. "This i s p h enomenal what they're doing up here today," Hilton said. She said she appreciates the efforts ForestService staffput in for her students. Reforestation activi ties were billed as "Planting the first trees of our future forest."

fied last year at a Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors meeting that their rates went from $900 to $3,000 in just the past two years. However, according to a July 2014 letter from ISO addressed to County Administrator Craig Pedro, the rating for the entire county's fire system is still considered a 5. Pedro said that companies might classify a specific home as higher risk than the county's overall ISO rating based on how far away the home is from fire hydrants, water sources and fire stations. The risk can be higher in more-

Romaneck said he's also concerned about what the rising costs of living in the area will do to home sales, which could have widerreaching effects on the county's economy. "This all goes into a formula in people's minds when they're deciding whether they want to live there moving forward," he said. "When demand goes down, prices go down. Tuolumne County gets less taxes, which

"We do get calls into our consumer hotline periodically throughout the year from people in high-risk areas with insurers who are dropping them, or increasing rates," she said. "It could be that, unfortunately, insurers in those high-risk areas will drop out altogether because it becomes too expensive to underwrite policies in that area." Hart said that homeowners struggling to obtain or maintain their insurance policies due to rising costs or lack of availability can find relief through the California FAIR Plan. The FAIR Plan is an insurance pool established by the State Legislature in 1968 to providebasic property insurance for those who can't find it through the voluntary market. "They can go with the FAIR Plan, but it has no liability coverage, so they would need to findwraparound coverage that would cover the liability," Hart said."Sometimes you have to do a little more research and work to find a policy that would be right for you." On March 3, the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisorsapproved a work plan to help bring the insurance rates under control. Aspects of the plan involve studying the county's fire and first-responder system for possibleways to im prove coverage, gathering

A home's proximity to a fire hydrant, like this Groveland home, is one of the factors insurance companies look at when writing policies.

remote areas.

However, that doesn't explain the troubles experienced by some Groveland homeowners and others in the county where not much, if anything at all, has changed over the past twoplus years in terms of fire protection services. GCSD General Manager Jon Sterling said the staf fing levels and operations at the district's fire department have remained the same since Cal Fire took over in 2012. The town's secondary fire station is actually staffed more regularly with seasonal firefighters, he added. Sterling said a trio of Groveland homeowners who live near each other testified at a recent community meeting that each had varying experiences when recently renewing their insurance policies. "One said'my rates went up,' one said'mine didn't change,' and one said 'mine went down,'

some partsofthe county are now safer after the fire destroyed the surrounding flammable grasses, brush and trees. Eleven homes were lost in the blaze itself, with no deaths or serious injuries. "The factiswe have very little losses and yet the community is being penalized," said Lawrence Romaneck, a part-time resident of Pine Mountain Lake, a gated community in Groveland. Romaneck said his insurance isn't up for renewal until August, but he's received calls from a number of neighbors in the past year who have experienced issues with spiking in-

As a result, some in the county are seeing rate increases of up to five times their original annual premiums upon renewing their poli-

Since last year, McClintock has railed against the federal government'spolicies for releasing water from dams during droughts for the purposeofadjusting rivertemperatures for fish. The state is now in its fourth consecutive drought year, but water is still being released in large amounts

and they all live next door to each other," Sterling said. That has led some county officials and fire experts to believe the problem lies squarely with the insurance companies and how they're assessing risk for fires, rather than with the county's fire protection system. "From the fire service standpoint, nothing's really changed in years as far as staffing engines and where they're located. That's pretty much static," said Tuolumne County Fire Prevention Officer Steve Gregory. "It's definitely on the insurance side ... I think it depends on who your carrier is." Another question is whether carriers are dropping policies or raising rates in the area due to the Rim Fire, which burned more than 257,000 acres. Local fire officials have noted the fact that

The deal, which still must be approved bythe State Water Resources Control Board to be fully implemented, would relax further releasesthis spring to protect the water supply for municipal users, agriculture,recreation, hydroelectric power generation and steelhead, all while maintaining at least 115,000 acre-feet behind New Melones through Sept. 30. It alsoprovides 450,000 acre-feet of water to irrigation districts in Oakdale and Manteca, which would both be required to implement conservation measures. That would prevent the districts from having to drain Tulloch Reservoir, a recreational hotspot and the main water supply for about 5,000 residents of Copperopolis. Originally, the bureau's operation plan released in February showed New Melones dipping below 80,000 acre-feet by sometime in August. Water can no longer be released &om the dam's outlets when it dropes to 80,000 acre-feet. On Thursday, McClintock and Denham sent a joint-letter to the State Water Resources Control Board supportingthe proposed deal and urgingthe board to approve the changes as requested. "Whilewe areadamantly opposed to such releases from New Melones forthetheoreticalbenefitoffish populationsthisyear,"the letter stated in closing, "this 'deal' strikes a delicate balance between the competing needs for water on the Stanislaus River under exceptionally difficult conditions in this fourth sequential drought year."

salaries and those types of things." The real-estate industry in the county hasn't felt a significant impact from insurance issues thus far, according to Karen Burkhardt,government affairs director for the Tuolumne County Association of Realtors. Real-estate agents who responded to a survey taken by the association last July said that only 5 to 10 percent of their transactions at the time had been delayed due to the cost or availability of insurance.

that companies are employing to assess risk, and lobbying the state to take regulatory action if needed. According toBurkhardt and county officials, the most important thing residents can do to help the situation is to report to the county any troubles they've experienced via a form that's posted on the county's website, www.tuolumnecounty.ca.gov. "I think one of the most critical things people can do to help themselves and others "A lot of these issues are in a state of flux in the county is to get on that website and at the moment," Burkhardt said. cWe don't get that information to us," Pedro said, addwant to panic people." ing that the county has received close to 30 Lindsey Hart, spokeswoman for the state responses since December.

The crucifixion and subsequent resurrection of Jesus Christ will be celebrated by local Christian congregations on Easter Sunday. Easter celebrations will range from traditional services to sunrise services, and events leading up to them will include live re-enactments of the Stations of the Cross. There will be atleastthree sunrise services held locally, including one in Murphys, hosted by several Calaveras County churches. Sunrise service is a worship service on Easter practiced by some Protestant churches, replacing the traditional Easter Vigil practiced by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican and Lutheran churches.

Many churches hold traditional sunrise services in cemeteries as a sign of recognition that Jesus Christ was no longer in his tomb on Easter morning. The service starts early in the morning and is timed so those attending can see the sun rise during the service. A community Sunrise Service will be held EasterSunday atMountain Shadow Cemetery in Sonora. The service will begin at 6:30 a.m. Pastor Miles McMahon of Calvary Chapel will overseethe service and willask others to interject thoughts and insights about the resurrection of Christ.

A additional services will be held at Calvary Chapel, 19889 Soulsbyville Road in Soulsbyville, at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Easter Sunday. At 6:30 a.m. Easter Sunday there will be an "Ecumenical" Sunrise Service at Buena Vista Cemetery in Murphys. Following the service there will be a pancake breakfast at 7:30 a.m. at M~hys Covenant Church at the corner of Main and Jones streets. The sunrise service is hosted by Faith Lutheran Church, Murphys Covenant Church, First Congregational Church of Murphys, and St. Clare of Assisi Episcopal Church. Tuolumne Community Baptist and Tuolumne United Methodist churches will host an Easter Sunrise service at 7 a.m. on Mount Havilah in Tuolumne. It is off of Buchanan Mine Road.

EASTER Continued from Page Bl to the Eastern Orthodox calendar and will celebrate a week later than Western Christian churches, on Sun-

day, April 12. Their Palm Sunday is on Easter Sunday for most other churches. St. Susanna will hold servicesfor the celebration of the Fifth Week of Orthodox Great Lent this week, and April 5 will mark the beginning ofOrthodox Holy Week and Orthodox Easter, or Pascha as it is called in the Orthodox Christian Church. "In the Eastern Orthodoxy, we kept the old way of reckoning Easter, so sometimes we are the same time,

sometimes a week or two apart," said the Rev. Andrew Jacobs. The formula used to determine Easter Sunday — the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after

the vernal equinox (first day of spring) — isthe same for both Western and Orthodox Easters, but the churches base thedates on different calendars. Western churches use the Gregorian calendar, the standard calendar for most of the world, and Orthodox churches use the older, Julian calendar. "Last year we were on

the same day," Jacobs said. "This way it makes it easier to buy Qowers." At 9 a.m. on Holy Saturday, April 11, St. Susanna Orthodox Church will begin the liturgical day celebrating the Vesperal Liturgy of St. Basil, including Old Testament Readings that prophesy Jesus Christ's ministry, death and resurrection.

That Saturday evening at 11:30 p.m., the church will celebrate the Nocturnes

service, and immediately following Nocturnes, at midnight will begin the Paschal Vigil, which includes Paschal Matins with procession and joyous singing, and then, the renowned Catechetical Sermon of St. John Chrysostom, and then the Paschal Divine Liturgy. These services will be followed by a traditional Paschalfeast atabout 2 or 3 a.m., said Jacobs. At noon on Pascha Sunday, April 12, the church will celebrate Paschal Vespers with readings of the Paschal Gospelin severallanguages, symbolizing the spread of the Gospel throughout the world, Jacobs said. The gospel will be read in English, Russian, Arabic, Greek, Japanese, Spanish and French. After that there will be another feast and an Easter egg hunt for children. St. Susanna Orthodox Church is at 10825 Robinwood Lane, at the intersec-

tion of Jamestown Road, in Sonora. Two local churches will lead up to Easter Sunday with live re-enactments of Stations of the Cross. "Stations of the Cross," refersto a series of14 im ages depicting Jesus CMst on the day of his crucifixion and also to the prayers Christians say when con-

templating those images. Sonora Christian Life Center will host "Discovering Real Life," an interactive presentation of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ at 9:30 a.m. Easter Sunday at 21320 Old SonoraColumbia Way, Sonora. For more information call 536-5860 or 694-7065. A presentationoflive Stations of the Cross will be held at 4:30 p.m. April 3, Good Friday, at St. Patrick's

Catholic Church, 820 South Main St., in Angels Camp. Parishioners will act out the stations, said Deacon Fred Ybarra. The presentation will includea castof35 to 40 people, who have been rehearsing since the start of Lentin mid-February, Ybarra said. It's based on the Passion of Jesus, Ybarra said. "We'veincorporated children dressed as angels. It's really, really nice, but it's really dynamic," Ybarra said. "It's nota theaterevent,it's just something of our faith." This is the second year St. Patrick's in Angels Camp has put on such an event. The idea came from the parishioners, Ybarra said. About 300 people attended last year. "Last year, one parishioner — she's been in parish for 65 years and she said she'd never seen anything like it," Ybarra said. The event will be followed by it's highest Mass of the Year, its Easter Saturday vigil at 8:30 p.m. where baptismsareperformed and new Catholics are confirmed into the church. It issupposed tobe held at sundown, with a "Liturgy of Fire," Ybarra said. "It's a real beautiful Mass," he said. Easter Sunday Mass will be celebratedat 10:15 a.m. April 5 at St. Patrick's in Angels Camp.

BRIEFING

Sharks score 6 in win over Wings DETROIT (AP) —The San Jose Sharks are trying to play their way into a playoff berth. Meanwhile, Detroit seems on the verge of falling out of one. Patrick Marleau scored twice and Antti Niemimade 30saves to help the Sharks top the Red Wings 6-4 on Thursday night. Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Matt Nieto, Chris Tierney and Logan Couture also had goals for San Jose, which ended a twogame skid. The Red Wings have allowed five or more goals in each of their last two games. The Sharks got the game's first goal 19 seconds in after Melker Karlsson stole the puck deep in the Detroit zone and got it toVlasic, who beat Howard with a onetimer from just inside the blue line.

Tyler's single leads S'ville over Calaveras The Union Democrat reports

When the pressure was on, Bradley Tyler delivered. With two outs and Darren Warnock on third base, Tyler smacked a walkoff single up the middle and the Summerville Bears came from behind to defeat the Calaveras Redskins 13-12 on Thursday in Tuolumne. "Each player did their part," said Summ erville coach Larry Gold. "I can't stress enough how every player, every at bat and everythrow, you have to make something happen. The team bought into that. W e could have been down and out,butwe stayed positive and good things happened." Down 12-7 heading into the bottom of the seventh, Summerville closed the gap to threeafi erscoring tworuns.

Hunting drones illegal in Mich. LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan's House has approved two bills that would prohibit the use of drones by hunters and those seeking to interfere with hunting. The House approved the bills unanimously Wednesday. Violation of the proposed law would be a misdemeanor and could bring jail time and fines. The bills now head to the Senate for final approval before going to Gov. Rick Snyder for his signature.

Sage grousedeal signed in Nevada

Hukkanen, Skins beat Bears

RENO (AP) — An unprecedented attempt to protect sage grouse habitat across parts of more than 900 square miles of privately owned land in Nevada will begin under a deal Thursday involving the federal government, an environmental group and the world's largest gold mining company. The agreement comes as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approaches a fall deadline for a decision on whether to protect the greater sage grouse, a bird roughly the size of a chicken that ranges across the West, under the Endangered Species Act.

"I was kind of struggling in the beginning, but I just wanted to keep pressing in the game and just throw strikes," Hukkanen said. "I wanted to let the defense work. That was my main goal." Hukkanen picked up her fourth straight MLL victory and her seventh overall. In 21 league innings, she has not allowcd an earned run on four hits and has tallied 40 strike"She's just been throwing well for us all season to be honest with you," Koepp said. "When she's gotten in trouble it's just little things, but she's pounding the strike zone. She can go away with pitches. She can come in with pitches. She can climb the ladder a little bit. She's been throwing really well." Calaveras tacked on the contest's first run in the top of the second when Kelly Volken blasted a dcep shot to right field and drove in Maddi Wyllie, who got on base with a bunt. Volken could have settled for a triple, but instead decided to round third base and was tagged out at home by Bear catcher Chace Bailey. With the bases loaded, the Redskins gave themselves some breathing room with a two-run fiflh frame. Tessa Kathan hit a sacrifice fly and drove in Kayla Kappmeyer.

Boom! Kentuc doubles up on West Virginia

SANTA CLARA (AP)The San Francisco 49ers have waived offensive lineman J o n a-

than Martin. The team announced

the move on Thursday to end Martin's one-year trial run with the team.

The Niners acquired Martin last March in a deal with Miami. Martin had leR the Dolphins in October 2013 after accusing teammate Richie Incognito of bullying. An NFL investigation determined Incognito and two other Dolphins offensive linemen engaged in persistent harassment of Martin. Martin started seven games atright tackle last season in place of injured Anthony Davis. He struggled in that role and allowed 7 V2 sacks, according to STATS. Martin was picked in the second round out of Stanford in 2012.

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 call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h ©uniondemocrat.com

Getting son sober first step in moving forward DEAR ANNIE: My youngest son is 34 years old and lives with my wife and me. He is an alcoholic and is unemployed, with no interest in getting a job. He helps at home by doing the cooking. He is a great cook by trade. He waslaid offas head cook ata restaurant and can't get over it. My son is a good person, and I love him very much. He claims he was blackballed. He has had 10 good jobs overthe past 15 years,buthashad at least five DUIs and has been in jail three times. Could this be true? Is there any way I could get him out of the house and into a work program? My wife will not back me up when I tell him he has to get a job.— BESIDE MYSELF DEAR BESIDE: Employers routinely refuse to hire those who have a drug oralcohol problem and have been arrested multiple times. It has nothing to do with being"blackballed." Regardless of

Annie's Mailbox his cooking skills, your son is not a reliableemployee. Before you check out a work program, please see if he will go to an AA meeting (aaorg). You and your wife could also benefit from understanding how you may be enabling your son's drinking, which undermines his efforts to find employment. For you, we recommend Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org). Your son can still turn his life around, but he needs to get off the booze first. DEAR AI'(tNIE: I could have written the letter from 'Tired of Sharing," the woman in her 50s who was dating aman who always had a group of women around him. It brought back vivid memories of a crazy time in my

own life. I, too, met a man who seemed witty and funny. I fell hard, ignoring all the signs of a lousy relationship blooming on the horizon. M y guyhad a harem ofwomen, too. N They were only 'frjends whom he talked about all the time. They knew no boundaries and would call him at any hour for anything. If they wanted help, he'd drop whatever he was doing, leaving me to handle stuff at home by myself. How stupid of me not to know that the relationship could only go downhill. My life was a living hell for a long time, culminating in a nervous breakdown.Ifinally had enough and moved out, and it was the best thing I ever did.He ended up marrying one ofhis "friends." I dodged a big bullet. There is life after such a horrendous mistake if you get out in time. I always thought I had to have a man in my life in orderto behappy.Butafteryearsof dating and being in unhappy relation-

ships, I gave it all up, and I've never been happier or more free. It's exhilarating to know you can do for yourself and be truly content with life. I would never go back to that crazy lifestyle. Tell that woman to run away as fast as she can. She'll be glad she did. OLDERAND WISER DEAR OLDER: No one should remain in a relationship where you don'tfeel valued, where you think you have to put up with constant mistreatment and disregard because otherwise you would be on your own. There are worse things than being alone, as you have learned. -

Concern over measles breakout is warranted DEAR DR ROACH: I do not understand the hysteria over the measles outbreak. In my day,every kid hadthe measles and other childhood diseases, and all survived with strengthened immune systems. Today, young people have nonatural defenses against diseases because their immune systems have been compromised by drugs. With the exceptionof smallpox and polio, childhooddiseasesareariteofpassage. — B.W. ANSWER: In the days before vaccines, pretty much every kid did get the measles, but unfortunately, not all of them survived. Although measles death rateswere already dropping,beforethe vaccine was available there were still hundreds of thousands of cases every year, with hundreds of deaths and thousandsofcases ofsevere complications,

thousands of children jrom death and disability. People, including me, are worried about the measles outbreak because there are many more people now who, because of diseases like HIV and cancer, have immune systems that leave them susceptible to measles, a highly infectious disease. Children under I year cannot get the vaccine and the immunity they get from their mother's immune system wanes over time. Thus, there are many people at high risk for

such as encephalitis, an extremely se-

measles in the population now.

rious inflammation of the brain that can have long-term repercussions. The vaccinereduced the death rate to essentiall y zeroandthecaseratetoafew cases per year, mostly from internationaltravelers.Over the decades,the measles vaccine has prevented many

The measles vaccine strengthens, not weakens, the immune system, and provides lifelong immunity for nearly everybody who gets two doses. There are risksofthevaccine,butseriousadverse efFects from itarerare. DEAR DR. ROACH:I would like to

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D.

ask your opinion of organizations that offer "whole body" screening, and if they are something into which I should be looking. I mean, the ones where you spend a day having multiple scans looking for changes within the body. I am 66 years old, and earlier this year I was diagnosed with cancer for the fifth time in the past 37 years (melanoma in 1978, a second melanoma in 1979, non-Hodgkin's lympboma in 1994, colon cancer in 1997 and most recently, bladder cancer). Fortunately, they have been caught fairly early, but they all involved elevated stress levels, multiple surgeries and tests, and twice now, regimens of chemotherapy. My concern is — except for the colon cancer, which runs in my family — I do not fit any of the profiles associated with melanoma or bladder cancer, and I keep wondering what will happen next. In my case, is it worthwhile to use one of these services to make sure I don't have another tumor growing elsewhere within my body, and hopefully catch it before it causes symptoms? — Anon. ANSWEIL In general, I do not recommend whole-body CT scan as a

case, only your cancer doctors can give

you the best advice about obtaining scanstolook forrecurrences ofone of your old cancers or a new one. People with a history of melanoma should have frequent total body skin checks by an expert. People who have had colon cancershould get colonoscopies as direct by theirgastroenterologistoroncologist.

Today is Friday, March 27, the 86th day of 2015. There are 279 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On March 27, 1945, during World War II, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower told reporters in Paris that Germany's main defensive line on the Western Front had been broken. On this date: In 1884, the first telephone line between Boston and New York was inaugurated. In 1912, first lady Helen Herron Taft and the wife of Japan's ambassador to the United States, Viscountess Chinda, planted in Washington the first two of 3,000 cherry trees given as a gift by the mayor of Tokyo. In 1940, Alfred Hitchcock's first American movie, "Rebecca" starring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine, premiered in Los Angeles. In 1964, Alaska was hit by a magnitude 9.2 earthquake (the strongest on record in North America) and tsunamis that together claimed about 130 lives. In 1975, construction began on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, which was completed two years later. In 1977, 583 people were killed when a KLM Boeing 747, attempting to take off, crashed into a Pan Am 747 on the Canary Island of Tenerife (ten-uh-REEF'). In 1980, 123 workers died when a North Sea floating oil field platform, the Alexander Kielland, capsized during a storm. In 1990, the U.S. began test broadcasts of TV Marti to Cuba, which promptly jammed the signal. In 1995, "Forrest Gump" won six Academy Awards, including best picture and a second consecutive best actor Oscar for Tom Hanks; Jessica Lange won best actress for "Blue Sky."

HORO SCOPE Birthday for March 28.Focus on love this year. Practice for a big game after April, when the action heats up (romantically and otherwise). Prepare over springtime for an educational pursuit to begin after June. Study, travel and explore a subject of your passion. October eclipses (10/13 & 10/27) reveal breakthroughs in service, work and health. Share your heart. To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19):Today is a 5 — Settle into your cozy nest. A surprise requires your attention. You can handle it. You see where the power is flowing. Work smarter, using tools and materials at hand. Love wins, in a strange way. Taurus (April 20-May 20):Today is a 6 — Controversy erupts. Hold out for what you really want. Go for substance over symbolism. Don't brag, borrow or ask for favors. Postpone a financial discussion or outing. Overindulgence and messes are a distinct possibility. It could get ugly. Gemini (May 21 June 20):Today is an 8 — Deposit checks and reconcile accounts. Don't buy gifts or gamble. All's well and good until the money runs out. Navigate a change. Learn from someone with wit and conversational grace. Friends add humor. Pamper a strained muscle. Cancer (June 21 July 22):Today is an 8 — Take on a personal project. You have the confidence and energy to make considerable progress. Adapt to unexpected circumstances. Get friends and family involved. Take it slow and do it right. Talk about what works. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):Today is a 5 — Recharge your batteries with rest, good food and company. Take time for peaceful introspection, for quiet tea and a good book. Allow yourself to get distracted from studies and work by friends, family or time outside. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Today is a 7 — Get your gang

together and a mess develops naturally. It's part of the beautification process. Don't spend money. Make what you need. Creativity abounds. Expand a group project to the next level. Clean up later. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Today is a 7 — Address a structural problem. Make repairs or clean up. New methods temporarily upset the routine. Get your systems operating smoothly. Don't get over-excited and break something. Take care of what you've got. Travel arrangements could change. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Today is a 7 — Your road could deviate from the plan. Discover an aspect of the world that's newto you. Listen to an opinion you've never considered. Pretend you're poor, especially if you're not. Frugality serves you well. Keep valuables hidden. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Today is a 6 — Expensive errors line the path. Watch for a con or trick. Review the numbers and file documents where you can find them. Romance could interfere with business. Avoid expectations and enjoy the moment. Quiet time together satisfies. Capricorn (Dec. 22 Jan. 19):Today is a 7 — You and a partner have plenty to talk about. An unexpected situation requires a decision. Keep a loved one's secret. There's potential for financial loss. Listen to concerns respectfully. Collaborate for what you both want. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is an 8 — Find out what's really being offered before agreeing. Hide out for a little while. Take time for your health and well-being. Work breakdowns could stress. Relax. Say exactly what you mean. Take frequent breaks for fresh air. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):Today is a 7 — Don't throw money at a problem. Be charming to someone who outranks you. You get more with honey than vinegar. Follow the manual. Get into the proper rhythm. Pay attention to tempo to dance with unexpected beats.

Sherlock Holmes said, "I never guess. It is a West capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." That might be true when investigating a murder, but is not necessarily so at the bridge table. Sometimes onedoes have to guess. Take today's deal for example. South is in four spades. West leads the heart ace and continues with the heart king. What should South 4 KQ 7 4 clo? After West opened one heart, East knew that Dealer: West he and his Partner had a combined holding of at y u lner a b i e Neither least10trumps.Applyingthemainconclusion S outh W e s t N o rt h Ea s t from the Law of Total Tricks, he jumped to four ~f p Pass 4p hearts. Under pressure, South overcalled four P ass Pass Pa s s spades, hoping for some support in the dummy. In four spades, with this layout, if South ruffs the second heart, he can be defeated by careful defense. Declarer will start to draw trumps, but when he sees the 4-1 break, he will be forced to switch to clubs. (If South draws all of the trumps, East-West will run their hearts when in with the club ace.) But when declarer does lead clubs, West ducks the first round and notes his partner's nine, the start of a high-low with a doubleton. West takes the second club and gives his partner a club ruff. Then, in the fullness of time, the defenders collect a diamond trickfor down one. Instead, South mustn't ruff the second heart — he must discard his unavoidable diamond loser. Then the deal is under control, and the contract makes. It is a textbook loser-on-loser play.
