Attorneys for the Columbia man accused ofigniting 2013's massive Rim Fire want to suppress his alleged confessionbecause they claim statements he made to law enforcement 19 months ago were coerced.

Emerald's statements to investigators &om Sept. 3, 2013. Emerald'sattorneys, federal defenders Janet Bateman and Eric V. Kersten, contend his due process rights have been violated. The motion is set for a hearing in May. Bateman and K ersten were un-

He later signed a confession saying he accidently started the fire while cooking beans and burning trash at a campsite.

YOUR VIEWS A worthy cause To the Editor: Iam at a lossforwordsthat should make my critics happy. However, this is important, so let me try. Thousands of our local children live in or near poverty. There is no magic cure for helping all these families. But something came to my attention and we can all help out just a little bit.

At all our schools, children get a chance to have at least one good meal a day. Some families pay $50 a month, others who "quali fy" pay much less, and there are those who have no money at all and they "qualify" for free lunches.

Well, in a couple of months guess what, school children get out for the summer. For hundreds of our youngsters, this means they may not get at least one good meal a day.

However, this is where we can help.

The good folks at the ATCAA Food Bank are going to try and put together a "lunch program" for all the kids who now get free lunches at our schools. But like the old saying goes, "there is no such thing as a &ee lunch."

The program will cost between $8,000 and $10,000 (that is the reduced food cost rateand a lot ofvolunteers).

We can do this — and all we have to do is write a check.

To help — M ake your checks payable to: ATCAA Food Bank (note"summer lunch program") 427 N Hwy 49 Suite 301 Sonora, Calif 95370 This w i l l ta k e ATCAA a while to put it t ogether, but first they need some money. So pleaseIndividuals,businesses, and groups give what you can now.

and bridges. Speaker Boehner quickly stated he wanted to fix the problem but, no tax increase on fuel! Even though it has been many years since there has been a fuel tax increase. Even R. Reagan raised taxes.

And yet our 17 trillion debt and deficit are due because some people that shouldn't have got driver's license, maybe some medicalcare, and maybe some food? Aren't they here to take our jobs? Oh wait, thosegotmoved overseas too.

One of the best community improvement suggestions of the past few weeks comes from Union Democrat history columnist Bob Holton.

Dropping by the office, he suggested the city — before investing maybe $10 million in a 'Vision Sonora" plan that callsfornew parks, streetclosures,sidewalk planters,etc. should invest in something much simpler and cheaper. That is, fly paper.

It was a tongue-in-cheek observation. But it's actually no joke.

Downtown's fly problem is far &om abating. It's actually gotten worse since we last opined on this in February.

The problem resides along Washington Street almost exclusively, and is particularly acute near Stockton Road and Bradford Street.

As noted before, this is very unpleasant for local residents and, certainly, a hugely unpleasant experience for any tourists who might come here.

-

Really, what do swarms of flies say about your community?

Is anyone forced to walk through one of these filthy clouds going to want to come back for another visit?

So many small things downtown — the dog droppings and trash, the cold patch on downtown's sidewalks and the actual lack of sidewalks on many streets — all seem to shout: We don't care about our community!

So, why should anyone else?

No amount of money, no number of bow-outs, or trees, or

side-str eetcourtyards,are goingtocompensate ofthis.

The city and merchants, if they really want tourism and commerce, need to stop wringing their hands about a supposed lack of parking, or a lack of public spaces, and address these simpler issues.

The first stop — and probably the easiest to address — is the flies.

If they bug you as much as us, contact City Hall at 94 N. Washington St., Sonora CA 95370, or 532-6115.

To the Editor: My wife and I did the hike around Pinecrest Lake Saturday morning. The lake level was probably where itism ost years at the end of March.

Rocks were exposed in the center of the lake. Homeowner docks were yards away &om the water's edge. What really struck us was that there isn't any snow. And I mean NO SNOW! Pinecrest Lake sits in a bowl surrounded by tall mountains. Not a white patch to be seen anywhere. The wa-

ter running down the creek into the lake, to my untrained eyes and ears, was pretty much balanced by what was coming out below the dam.

Last week The Union Democrat reported that TUD was now predicting the lake will not fill to the brim this year.

From what I saw today, think more like half-full unless we get a lot of unexpected rain in April or May. I hate to say it, but now is the time to put some draconian water conservation measures into place

and not wait until June or July.

Debt debate To the Editor: Response to Mr. Molinari letter, March 26,2015.

Mr. Molinari's letters was basically &om a long time Internet post that is most likely un-vetted but, let us go with it.

How many people try to sneak int o

N o r t h K o r ea?

Most folks there are trying to get out. I can recall only two Americans over the years that did. They were not shot, just jailed for a while and sent back. I'm willing to bet you can be shot in Afghanistan for just about anything. I'm not sure but, I think I read that 10,000 Afghans were killed last year.

1,500 federal a gencies, banks bailed out for bad loans, U.S. companies moving money overseas. The right wing keeps reducing taxes on the richest people and companies and refuses to reduce spending, especially military.

Not just two wars but, a world war against terrorism and no tax increase to pay for it, just borrow the money.

Early thisyear a report came out about the poor condition of the nation's roads

Science v. ideology To the Editor: Congratulations to Robert Carabasforlistingtheprestigious scientific organizations who warn that global warming is being caused mainly by humanity. It's convincing evidence. However, Mr. Carabas might have listed the people and organizations who deny manmade climate change. At the top of the list would be our local congressman Tom McClintock followed by all Republican presidential candidates and the Republican party in general.

Their "science" is ideology.

They view real science as a threat, as did the Catholic Church in the case of Galileo back in the early 17th century when the Church denied his scientific observation that the earth revolved around the sun. Ultimately the Church reversed itself and admitted Galileo was right. It now even accepts the scienti fic evidence for e volution. Perhaps in t h e coming decades the Republican partywilllearn to accept simple truths. If it is not too late.

GUEST COLUMN

Commercial flying: Leap of faith into thin air WASHINGTON — The apparently intentional downing of a Germanwings airliner by the co-pilot has us riveted,as commercial plane crashes usually do.

Kathleen Parker

In each terrible instance, we put

ourselves in the cabin, imagining what our last thoughts or actions would be.

Would we close our eyes and pray?

Would we scream? Would we seize the personnext to us,desperately grasping at one last human connection?

What is it like to realize your plane is out of control and there's nothing to be done? Or that, inconceivably, your pilot or, in this case, your co-pilot, is out ofcontrol?

Such dark thoughts capture our imaginations briefly before we shove them back into some remote recess of the mind never again,we hope, to be retrieved. This conscious act of selfdefenseprotects us from the horrifying possibility that someday we, too, might find ourselves strapped into a missile on a suicidal mission.

Unthinkable is the word for it.

We remind ourselves that these are, indeed, rare events. And though this

the end is not yet here.

Sully was John Wayne of the skies — a good man, solid and true, reliable,brave and coolunder fi re.Contrast him to the Germanwings co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, who is every bit the monster the terrorist is. Perhaps worse.

The latter-day, knife-wielding infidel-slayer kills an innocent in a brutal, hands-on act of extreme human interaction. The co-pilot bars himself from the people he intends to destroy, methodically resetting the jet's autopilot to an altitude that will ensure death to 149 strangers.

Rod Serling's gremlin on the wing, ripping out the guts of one of the plane's engines, is a bedtime story compared to the cool detachment of the co-pilot apparently flipping a switch to lock out all others and begin his self-imposed descent into smither-

is not the first apparent suicide crash,

eens.

we might hope it's the last. After all, as we've heard countless times, you're more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash. And the most convincing rationale for flying without fear is the eye-rolling reminder that no one talks about all the safe landings every day.

We do, however, remark when a pilot makes a heroic landing, bringing his mammoth flying machine to a safe halt — in a river, no less. Nearly every American knows about Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and his "Miracle on the Hudson." We love the lifesavers and worship the heroes whose awe-

Did he enjoy the agony of the pilot flailing hopelessly against the locked door? Did the screaming of passengers moments before death bring him satisfaction?

According to French investigators, the last words the pilot uttered to his 27-year-oldco-pilot as he stepped out of thecockpit,apparently for a restroom break, were: "You are in control."

In fiction, these now-chilling words would be a not-so-subtle foreshadowing of doom. For the passengers and crew, they were a death sentence.

Alone in the cockpit for the eight minutes it took to crash, Lubitz's

some competence reassures us that

breathing was captured on the voice recorder. Breathing in, out, in, out, in, out. What a vile soundtrack, what evil commentary on the soon-to-be breathless.

His poor parents. But not, please, poor Andreas Lubitz. He may have been depressed, they tell us. He may have broken up with his girlfriend.

Oh, too bad. He seems to have suffered an "illness" on the very day he flew, according to torn up "medical leave" notes found in his home.

All. Too. Bad. It wasn't enough that air travel has become near torturous. Squished in seatstoo small for the petite,passengers try to retract their fleshy edifices

into cocoons of personal space, praying for anuneventfuljourney and a slender seatmate. To such discomforts, we've now added the possibility that the pilot might have had a bad day.

Most are familiar with the old fatalist saw: Hey, when it's your time, it's

your time. May as well have a drink and enjoythe ride, says thejovialfrequent flyer, his breath a mix of whiskey and weariness.

In his bravado, we find consolation — and pray for contagion. Yes,of course, bring on the Fates! But we also

know the end of the joke: Yeah, but whatifit's the pilot's time?

Thanks to Lubitz, travelers will give this question more serious consideration. With a second glance into the cockpitas they board, passengers are bound to wonder: Who, really, is in control?

A Columbia motorcyclist suffered major injuries in a Saturday evening collision in San Andreas.

Robert Linssen, 56, was taken to Mark Twain Medical Center after his 1948 HarleyDavidson motorcycle collided with a 1993 Toyotasedan driven by Sherry Sheeringa, 39,of San Andreas, according to a California Highway Patrol report.

The accident happened about 6:30 p.m. on Highway 49 near Knief Lane, the report said.

A California Highway Patrolhelicopter crew and a climbing ranger rescued a Garden Grove man Saturday who got lost on the Upper Yosemite Fall trail and spent the night on a clifF above the Lower Fall.

Kevin Baik, 22, and two &iends started up the trail about2:30 p.m. Friday,making itto one area ofthe falls before sundown, according to a CHP account of the incident.

The three started walking back down the trail and it startedgetting dark.

They tried to take a shortcut to save time, went ofFtrail and down a gulch. Baik and onefriend climbed down to a ledge, where his friend broke his glasses. Baik's other &iend, who decided to go back to the trail, reached the valleyfl oor about 7:30 p.m. and called rangers for help.

Back up on the ledge, Baik's friend without glasses decided to stay put. Baik continued descending until he got stranded on the edge of a 320-foot clifFabove the Lower Fall. He couldn't go down any more and he couldn't get backup to the ledge, so he built a fire and decided to wait for help.

A big-rig that bottomed out on Highway 49 blocked both lanes of the highway near Rawhide Road on Monday morning.The road was blocked between 9:45 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. by a Vito 18-wheeler loaded with sawdust to take to Martell. The truck turned left onto the highway from Rawhide Road and became stuck on a raised area in the road, officers reported. No injuries were reported. Driver Chris Barron said he drives the route every day. He guessed the truck was loaded incorrectly.

MAROVICH Continued from Page Al something, you could believe it," said longtime &iend and colleague Jim Webster, of Sonora.

"He is well respected by everybody."

Marovichwas born Feb. 9,1939,in M adera.

He attended Madera High School, University of the Pacific and in 1964 graduated &om University of California, Hastings College of the Law. After serving as deputy county counsel in SanJoaquin County,he moved to Sonora in 1967,to accept a newly created position of deputy district attorney for Tuolumne County, doubling the number of lawyers in the office, which also handled duties of county counsel.

When District Attorney Ernest Geddes leff for another job in 1971, Marovich took over and finished his term. He prosecuted criminal cases in the county's five justice courts and one

superior court. He ran unopposed in 1974.

During his time in ofFice, Marovich helped a group of concerned women obtain a grant to establish what was then called the "Mother Lode Women's Crisis Center," where battered women and their children could be safe, his wife, Sharon Marovich, said.

He also broke the gender gap while in office, when he hired Eleanor Provost in 1977.

Provost is now a Tuolumne County Superior Courtjudge.

"He truly taught me so much, I cannot say how much. He was a major mentor," Provost

said Monday. "People thought he was a very honorableguy.When he told you he would do something, he would."

Provost and three other deputies who served under Marovich eventually became Superior Court judges and served simultaneously when the state' s superior court system was reorganized by the Legislature and Tuolumne County ended up with four superior court judges, Sharon Marovich said.

Another of his hires was retired county Superior Court judge, Doug Boyack, who was also hired in 1977.

"He was a consummate gentleman. He was very gracious," Boyack said."He was a wonderful man."

Boyacksaidasa superior and lateras a defenseattorney,Marovic h was always prepared and easy to work with.

According to Emerald's attorneys, during the interrogation, Delbon and Grate: • Threatened to push for charges arson against Emerald if he "did not tell them a better story than that which he had consistently maintained since August 17."

• Promised Emerald ifhe told them the fire had started accidentally, no criminal charges would be brought. Without criminal intent, there would be no criminal case, they said.

• Emphasized Emerald would be in danger ifhis name as a witness was made public, and stated that, in exchange for his cooperation, his statement would be sealed.

• Promised to keep Emerald's name out of the press during the course of their investigation and until public interest died down.

• Told Emerald he would not be made to pay restitution.

• Suggested to Emerald a possible theory of how the Rim Fire started accidentally, namely that gusting winds rekindled a partially-extinguished fire.

Near the end of the interrogation, Emerald statedhe had started a fire to burn trash that had been in his pack for a month, and then gusting winds carried pieces of burning embers up the canyon walls, causing dry foliage to catch fire and burn, according to Emerald's attorneys.

Emerald was charged in a criminal indictment filed Aug. 7, 2014, with one count of setting timber afire, one count of leaving a fire unattended and unextinguished, one count of violatinga fire restriction order,and one count of making false statements to a government agency.

Emerald has since pleaded not guilty to starting the Rim Fire. His next scheduled court appearance is in May in Fresno.

condition — that you hire Tom Marovich to be co-counsel," Webster said. "He was a great research attorney."

There were some 180,000 documents in the case files, Webster said.

The pair worked the case for two years in the preliminary hearing phase, until the case was moved to Orange County where Ng was ultimately tried and found guilty.

Marovich's private legal practice also included estate planning, probate and cases that involvedrealestate disputes.

One of Marovich's major civil case victories included winning protection over a section of Sierra Railroad right of way between Standard and Tuolumne, that the Friends of the Sierra Railroad thought should be protected for future rail or trail use.

The group felt it was important to keep the line as intact as possible, Sharon Marovich explained.

I've been involved in the creation of a meal around a very challenging theme: space. This dinner had been an auction item at a fundraiser for my daughter's school, and in addition to the space theme, the &iend who ultimately bought this dinner also wanted to celebrate her partner's birthday. My challenge was the cake.

The birthday fellow liked chocolate pudding and didn't want a "big birthday cake," and he was also keen on the idea of recreating a modernized version of the menu from Nixon's state dinner in 1969 celebrating the astronautsofApollo 11.

ARer alot oftrialand error,Idecided to turn to an expert: I asked my friend David Lebovitz what he would do. He told me about his flourless chocolate cake and how it develops craters on top during baking.

How moon-like!

After playing around with my collection of disco dust and confectionary toppings, I found something extraordinary: Empress Pearl Dust. It smears on like eye-shadow and remains moon-scape-y for hours. This meant I could decorate my cake in the aflernoon, hide it in the ofFtce, and bring it out to the celebrants at midnight.

Prosciutto, cheddar cheese star in savoiy tumover

By M<~ Y

D O ZIER

Tribune Content Agency

Wng before juice joints and farm-to-table salad bars made their way to campus dining halls, I found myself in a "heated" romance with my &eshman dorm's

battered communal microwave.

(Don't worry, we weren't exclusive.)

Parked right next to that ticking time bomb was the vending machine of my 18-year-old dreams. It was stocked to the brim with every sodium-laden, powdered-cheese junk food you could think of with plenty of sugary treats to spare.

Too bad I only had eyes for one thing, and my E.T. finger never failed me the many, many times

I dialed myself up a Hot Pocket prize.

I must admit, while my culinary prowess has moved well beyond discard wrapper, heat, and eat, there are still some lingering food memories I'll never quite be able to shake. When I think of guilty pleasures, the ham and cheese, pepperonipizza and broccoli cheddar varieties of Hot Pockets immediately come to mind. And while these days I don't get the urge to microwave a late-night Hot Pocket (or four) after a particularly raucous night, that doesn't mean I don't still crave those oh-so-delicious &eshman flavors.

Thankfully it's beyond easy (and so much better!) to make these store-bought favorites at home. I've played around with difFerent crusts and fillings over the years, and this one is definitely my gold standard.

My recipe goes just a tad further than your typical chopped ham and grated cheese filling — it has a silky cheddar sauce laced with salty specks of diced prosciutto that providea hintofgrown-up fl air.

But let's be real here: I'm not claiming to reinvent the wheel.

This recipe may not win any James Beard Awards, but that doesn't mean it won't give the vending machine version a run for its money.

Grotvn up Prosciut-to and Cheddar Hot Pockets Serves 6 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions 1 packed cup grated cheddar cheese (about 3 ounces) 3/4 teaspoon comstarch 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard powder 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/8 teaspoons hot sauce, such as Tabasco Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste 3 ounces diced prosciutto or ham 1 large egg, lightly beaten

e4 4~

itr

Unwrap one sheet of puff pastry on a clean work surface.

Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the pastry lengthwise into 3 wide strips of equal size (follow the seams as a guide).

Cut each strip in half crosswise for a total of 6 equal-sized rectangles. Transfer the rectangles to a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining pastry sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator while continuing with the recipe.

Combine cheese, cornstarch and ground mustard powder in a small saucepan and toss to combine. Add evaporated milk, Worcestershire and hot sauce and cook over low heat, whisking occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the prosciutto and set aside to cool slightly and thicken up.

Sort through the rectangles and remove the 6 widest to use as the tops, keeping the 6 thinner rectangles on the baking sheet to fill. Mound 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch space along the edges.

Brush the space along the edges with the beaten egg and top with the larger rectangles of pastry. Gently press the edges of each pocket to adhere. Press a fork along all the sides to fully seal. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes before baking.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 F. Remove the pan from the freezer. Lay a sheet of parchment over the "pockets" and nestle another baking sheet on top — this will prevent the pastry from puffing too high. Transfer the sheet pan(s) to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Transfer the oven rack to the broiler position and remove the top baking sheet. Adjust oven setting to broil and continue cooking the pockets, rotating the pan as needed, until golden brown,2 to 3 minutes. Cool for10 minutes before serving.

To freeze the pockets, bake a ccording to directions and allow them to cool completely. Freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to an airtight zip-top bag and return to the freezer. To reheat, cover in aluminum foil and warm in a 350 F oven, or cook in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes until hot.

semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 7 ounces butter, salted or unsalted, cut into pieces 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 5 large eggs, at room temperature 1 cup sugar 1 container Empress Pearl Dust, in Ultrasuper Pearl Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and dust it with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess. If you suspect your springform pan isn't 100 percent water-tight, wrap the outside with aluminum foil, making sure it goes all the way up to the outer rim.

Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler (or microwave), stirring occasionally, until smooth. Stir in the almond extract. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar, then whisk in the melted chocolate mixture until smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and cover the top of the pan snugly with a sheet of foil. Put the springform pan into a larger baking pan, such as a roasting pan, and add enough hot water to the baking pan to come about halfway up to the outside of the cake pan.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

You'll know the cake is done when it feels just set, like quivering chocolate pudding. If you gently touch the center, your finger should come away clean.

Lift the cake pan from the water bath and remove the foil. Let cake cool completely on a cooling rack.

When the cake is completely cool, brush on the Pearl Dust with a clean fingertip. You will need a fraction of the 2-gram container.

Serve thin wedges of this very rich cake at room temperature, with creme anglaise, ice cream, or w h ipped cream.

Storage: Can be w r apped and chilled in the refrigerator for three to five days.

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 houniondemocrat.com

Wife seeks guidance after bac ard encounter Annie's Mailbox

DEAR ANNIE: I had a strong reaction to the letter from "Missing It," whose husband had a prostatectomy. I am a prostate cancer survivor who had a prostatectomy, and my experience has been nothing like her husband's.

No one who is facing prostate cancer should take her husband's story as typical.

Did her husband faithfully do his physical therapy exercises to prevent incontinence? I did, at least three times a day. I've had complete control for years. I worked with my urologist on sexual activity, and we experimented with various therapies because there are many options. I had to do my part, but my sex life is now as satisfactory as it was prior to the surgery.

To other men with a p rostate cancer diagnosis who choose the prostatectomy route, if you do your

your husband is willing to seek help, and apparently, he is not.

As for masturbating in the backyard, well, that holds entirely different possibilities. Is he an exhihitionist? Was he hoping someone would see him? That could get him arrested.

Your choice is to decide how important this is to you compared to the more positive things your husband brings tothe marriage.

Can you accept it and still have a happy marriage? Does it merit a divorce? Sometimes, counseling for the person most affected (you) can be helpful in working through part,there is every reason to hope a problem and coming toa deci- for complete recovery and a fully sion. Please consider it. normal and satisfying life. — NOT

MISSING ANYTHING DEAR NOT MISSING: Thank you for pointing out that there are individual responses to prostate surgery, and a great deal depends upon how dedicated one is to doing the necessary exercises and therapies.

There are also other options besides prostatectomy. For all men facing this, it is important to find a physician who knows what treatments are available and can discuss them clearly, along with the potential outcomes. And if the doctor isn't doing that, get a second opinion or find another doctor.This is your future. You need to be your own best advocate.

What can be done about elevated white blood cells?

DEAR DH. ROACH: I am a male, 84 years old and in pretty good health.

The only problems I have are high blood pressure and cholesterol, which are under control. I see my primary doctor every six months, at which time he has me do a blood draw, and during the visits he discusses the results with me. During the past two visits, my white blood cell count has been somewhat elevated. As I recall, he said a count below 10,000 is within standard, and mine is slightly high at 10,700. He is concerned about this, since he said it could lead to serious problems if it keeps climbing. What causes it, and is there anything I can do? Are there any meds that might keep the white blood cell count from climbing? — R.L.H. ANSWER: "Leukocytosis" is the Greek word we use todescribe elevated white blood cell counts. In my hospital's laboratory, the normal range is from 3,500 to 11,000, so yours wouldn't be considered elevated. "Normal" in this context means that 95 percent of the healthy population is within that range, which implies that about 2.5 percentofhealthy people willhave a

DEAR ANNK: My husband and I havebeen married for threeyears and livedtogether for 15 yearsbefore that.

Sex has always been difficult. Last week, I found him masturbating outside in the backyard.

What should I do? Should I consult a doctor? My husband refuses to talk about it at all.— I NEED HELP DEAR NEED: If sex has been an issue for the past 18 years, there is more going on. Your letter doesn't provide many details. Is he masturbating because you aren't interested in sex? In that case, please talk to your doctor and see what can be done.Does he prefer self-gratiftcation to being with you? That could indicate that he has an idealized version ofthe female body due to excessive pornography viewing.

Or he could be gay and still in the closet. Or he might have issues being physically close. For this, counseling could be useful, but only if

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. white blood cell count over 11,000.

Many conditions cause the WBC count toincrease temporarily, especially infection. However, if the condition is persistent, then the first step in understanding why is to determine which type of white blood cells has increased. The most plentiful WBCs normally are the lymphocytes and the granulocytes(the others, monocytes, basophilsand eosinophils, are very rarelythe cause for a leukocytosis).

Infection typically causes an increase in granulocytes. High numbers oflymphocytes are seen in certain infections such as acute mononucleosis, but also in myeloproliferative disorders, like the leukemias.

Given your mild elevation, I don't think there is anything you need to do; the likelihood of this being a serious

condition is small. If the level keeps climbing, your doctor will do some further testing or will refer you to hematologist, who will try to fmd out the underlying cause of the leukocytosis.

Only when that is known can treatment be recommend.

DEAR DIL ROACH: I a m a healthy 65-year-old man, who is 6 feet tall and weighs 185 pounds. I am active, eatwell,work part-time outdoors, go to the gym three times per week and take no meds. For the past year or so, four or 6ve nights per week I wake up at night drenched in sweat from my chest to my waist. I have to change my T-shirt and sometimes have to put a towel underneath me because the sheet is damp. This will last for a week or two, then cease. Then it will start up again at another time. What's up?

— R.L ANSWER: The condition of night sweats is not uncommon. There are many causes, and although we worry about chronic infections (such as tuberculosis) and malignancies (such as lymphoma), the fact that it has been going on this long with you feeling

so well suggests that you may have a more benign cause. Sometimes no cause is found. However, you should see your doctor, who might be able to find the cause after a careful history and physical exam. Checking to see if you havea feverduring the episode of sweating will help your doctor narrow the search.

If the answer isn't obvious, your doctor also may look for some uncommon causes, such as pheochromocytoma, carcinoid syndrome, diabetes insipidus and hyperthyroidism.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, March 31, the 90th day of 2015.

There are 275 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On March 31, 2005, Terri Schiavo,41, died at a hospice in Pinellas Park, Florida, 13 days after her feeding tube was removed in a wrenching right-to-die dispute.

On this date: In 1943, "Oklahoma!," the first musical play by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, opened on Broadway.

In 1957, the original version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella," starring Julie Andrews, aired live in color on CBS. In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson stunned the country by announcing he would not seek reelection.

In 1975, "Gunsmoke" closed out 20 seasons on CBS with its final first-run episode, "The Sharecroppers."

In 1976, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that Karen Ann Quinlan, who was in a persistent vegetative state, could be disconnected from her respirator.

(Quinlan, who remained unconscious, died in 1985.)

In 1993, actor Brandon Lee, 28, was accidentally shot to death during the filming of a movie in Wilmington, North Carolina, when he was hit by a bullet fragment that had been lodged inside a prop gun. "Star Dust" lyricist Mitchell Parish, 92, died in New York.

In 1995, Mexican-American singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez, 23, was shot to death in Corpus Christi, Texas, by the founder of her fan club, Yolanda Saldivar, who was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

1 Q 109 5 4832

In this grand slam, South starts with 12 top South tricks: seven spades, two hearts, two diamonds and one club. There are two places to go for the extra winner. Where are they? How should South play after West leads the heart queen?

4 AQ7 4 I strongly approve of North's three-diamond response, showing his good five-card suit and at least eight points. This way, both players Vulnerable: East-West know it is (almost certainlY) a slam deal. South's S outh W e s t N o g h Ea s t final bid is a gamble because he does not know Pass 3 I Pass where the club queen will go. However, he Pass 4 4 Pass can anticipate the grand will be at worst on a finesse.

After West leads the heart queen, South should realize that he will make his contract if the club finesse works or the diamonds break Openinglead:V Q 4-4. He should try the diamond option first.

So, after taking the first trick, declarer plays a trump to dummy's seven, ruffs a low diamond with the spade jack, crosses back to dummy with a trump to the eight, ruffs high a second low diamond, and draws East's last trump by leading his nine to dummy's 10. Now South cashes the diamond ace-king, discarding his two low clubs.

Are the diamonds 4-47 If so, declarer throws the club queen on the 13th diamond. If not, he takes the club finesse. Altogether, the odds of success are an acceptable 66.38 percent.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee's Sale is estimated to be $183,142.10 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary's bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee's Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05001827-14-1.

However, if you are ravenous at mealtime if you skip snacks, you may need to tweak how often you eat andl or thetypes of foods you're eating. Follow these guidelines: • Balance eating frequency with amount. The more often you eat, the less you should eat at a time, otherwise you are just adding caloriesto the day. "For example, if someone is following a 1,200-calorie weight loss diet and eating six times a day,that may mean only 200 caloriespereating occasion," Raynor said. Such a small lunch or dinner could leave you feeling unsatisfied.

• Make it nutritious. Pass up high-sugar, quick pickme-ups and processed foods, which are easy to overeat.

Choose nutrient-rich, fiberpacked foods, such as whole grains, fruits,vegetables, and nuts, and include a good source of protein, such as beans, dairy, or meat to improve satiety (fullness).

were issues of under-report-

meals, such as six small meals a day, is a healthier approach than the traditional three square meals a day.

Some peoplebelieve eating more frequently may help keep their hunger under bettercontrol and their metabolism revved up. But some experts are concerned that the more often you eat, the greater your opportunity to overeat.

Here's help making sense of these mixed messages.

Meal frequency's impact on appetite and weight: Although clinical studies in this area are limited, the majority of those available suggest that eating more often than three times a day provides minimal, if any, advantage in controll ing appetite or how much you eat, although eating less than three times a day could make it tougher to controlyour appetite.Most studies also show that eating more often than three times a day doesn't improve weight losssuccess,nor doesitboost metabolism.

So how did the positive buzz about small, frequent meals begin?

"The research that led to the hypothesis that eating

ing by overweight and obese individuals, who r eported eating less frequently than they really did,n said Hollie Raynor, PhD, RD, associate professorof nutrition at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and research chair of the weight management dietetic practice group ofthe Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. "Basic eating studies thathave fed people in very controlled settings have not found that eating more frequently helps people feel less hungry during the day."

What about blood sugar and cholesterol? "Although it's often thought that people with diabetesneed to eat more often to maintain their blood sugar, research is emerging that suggests eating more frequently may not improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes," Raynor said.

Additionally, the limited research available on eating frequency and cholesterol levels is contradictory, with a few studies showing a benefit of mini meals and others showing no advantage.

Ex-Warrior Mullin to coach Sts3ohn's NEWYORK (AP)Chris Mullin, St. John's all-time leading scorer and still the face of its basketball program three decades after his career ended, has agreed to coach the Red Storm, a person with knowledge of the discussions toldThe Associated Press Monday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no formal announcement.

Mullin, who led St. John's to the Final Four in 1985, has never coached at any level.

He replaces Steve Lavin who agreed to leave last week, after five seasons during which the Red Storm reached the NCAATournament twice.

Mullin, a NewYork native, was a five-time All-Star with Golden State, a member of the USA's gold-medal winning "DreamTeam" in 1992 and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.

Borland had a team-leading 108 tackles as a rookie and also had a sack and two picks. ''From what I've researched and what I've experienced, I don't think it's worth the risk," Borland said in the ESPN interview. "I feel largely the same, as sharp as I've ever

been. For me, it's wanting to be proactive. I'm concerned that if you wait till you have symptoms, it's too late."

It's goingto costthem.

The NFL a nnounced Monday that i t had fined the team $350,000, stripped away a draft pick and suspended team president Rich McKay from the league's powerful Competition Committee for at least three months after the Falcons conceded pumping artificial crowd noise into the Georgia Dome.
