Richard Dysart, star in 'L.A. Law,' dies LOS ANGELES (AP)Richard Dysart, a veteran stage and screen actor who played senior partner Leland McKenzie in the long-running TV courtroom drama "LA. Law," has died after a long illness. He was 86. Dysart di ed Sunday at his home in Santa Monica, California, according to his daughterD y s art in-law Jeannine Jacobi. He created the Broadway role of the Coach in "That Championship Season," for which he won a Drama Desk Award in 1972, and his many film appearances included Hal Ashby's "Being There," Clint Eastwood's "Pale Rider" and John Carpenter's 'The Thing" But his most memorable role was likely that of head man in the firm of McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney and Kuzak in NBC's 1986-1994 series. It was produced by Steven Bochco, who, having scored a hit with the police series "Kll Street Blues," was casting another multi-character series that would portray the life in a toney Los Angeles law office. "I was trying to make it by doing films and TV movies," Dysartsaid in an Associated Press interview in 1988. Then he heard about the prospective "L.A. Law" project, and called his agent. "After I read the script," he recalled, "I called him and said I wanted to talk to Steven Bochco. My agent said, That's funny, he wants to talk to you."' The role as Leland McKenzie was largely an official one, patiently advising his lawyers

abouttheircasesand theirromances. But he had one experience during the 1988 season that was out of character: a romance with a beautiful law student 30 years McKenzie's junior. Dysart was delighted to depict this May-December fling. "LA. Law," for which Dysart won an Emmy, was the

culmination ofhis long career. But he h adn't t hought much aboutacting when he was growing up in Maine. He worked at alocal radio station, but only when he enrolled at Emerson College in Boston did he consider acting as a profession. After earning his master's degree, he headed to Broadway. In the 1960s, he became interested in repertory and became one of the founding members of the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. George C. Scott appeared with the company, and he and Dysart became good friends. Dysart later joined Scott in a New York revival of 'The Little Foxes." In 1968, Dysart made his film debut with Scott and Julie Christie in Richard Lester's "Petulia." He also appeared with Scott in 'Hospital," 'Hindenberg," 'The Last Days of Gen. Patton" and on Scott's TV series "East SideJWest Side." Dysart portrayed a variety of prominent figures. He was Dwight D. Eisenhower in 'The Last Days of Gen. Patton" and in a BBC film "Churchill and the Generals." He played Harry Truman in the CBS movie"Day One" and in the ABC miniseries 'War and Remembrance." He was J. Edgar Hoover in "Panther" and Henry L. Stimson, secretary ofwar in 1940-1945, in Truman.

How much money does it take to move a

fish from Copperopolis to San Francisco? If you guessed more than $1.8 million, you'd be right. That's the estimated breakdown of water costs for a series of "pulse flows" being conducted by the federal government starting this week. The water releases from New Melones Reservoir are intended to flush steel-

head trout to the San Francisco Bay Delta and, eventually, the ocean. The science is a little murky, and the math entirely illogical. But it goes something like this: • About 30 endangered steelhead babies needed assistance getting to the Pacific Ocean this spring. According to fishery biologists, maybe six steelhead remain in the Stanislaus River at this point. Perhaps 23 made it the delta last month. • The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation this w eek started releasing 16,000 acre-feet (5.2 billion gallons) of water for a controversial "pulse flow" intended to push the remaining fish to sea. • Water — very precious this year — is fetchingabout $700 per acre-foot, according to various sources. That brings the total value of water being used for this exercise to $11.2 million. Mind blowing, yes. Particularly in a year when toilets throughout the state will go unflushed, when fields once growing untold millions of dollars worth of crops will lay fallow, when the state's depleted groundwater aquifers will continue to be overpumped, when foodpricesfor everything from tomato paste to riceare bound toskyrocket,etc. We like fish, too. Just not rigid bureaucra-

cies or this kind of flunkynomics (we'll offer some of our own next). Should we see another drought year next year, or again in the nearer future, we offer a solution. First, buy six Plexiglas temperature-regulated tanks (you know, the expensive kind, maybe 180-gallon ones with all the gizmos from PetSmart for, like, $3,000 each). Add fish and water. Then, hire six fishery biologist chaperones to watch each fish (maybe $200 an hour for 10 hours?), five bodyguards to carefully attend to each salmon/biologist team ($900 each per day is the going rate for really good ones in So Cal), and a fleet oflimousines (let's not skimp, maybe the Humvee kinds for $165 an hour for this maybe 10-hour operation) to deliver the fish to the ocean safely and in high style. Wait — that's only $45,300. Something must be wrong with the math? Since we're not experts in such matters, let's create a 1,000-percent financial buffer (you know, traffic jams, Starbucks stops, maybe even a beachside bumper party to celebrate), bringing our grand total to $453,000. That's still about a 96 percent savings over what the bureau is now doing. This, and the fish would avoid the hostile Delta (the kill ratethere is reportedly 90 percent or more). And we'dstillhave 16,000 acre-feet ofwater behind New Melones Reservoir for consumption and/or irrigation. There is something very fishy (or very stupid) about what the Bureau of Reclamation and National Marine Fisheries Service are up to right now. Maybe our congressman, Tom McClintock,

CA spmdswatereNciency standards SACRAMENTO — California regulatorsare speeding up water-efficiency standards for faucets and urinals in response to the drought. The new standards developed by the California Energy Commission, approved Wednesday, will require the appliances touse less water

when installed in homes and office buildings starting in January 2016. The standards take effect six months ahead of schedule because of Gov. Jerry Brown's executiveorder lastweek imposing sweeping water-saving measures. The order also allows the commission to prohibit stores from selling outdated models in 2016. The new rules mean urinals can't flush more than an eighth of a gallon, down f'rom half a gallon. All faucets were previously allowed to pour 2.2 gallons a minute: The updated standardslower thatto 1.2 for home bathrooms, 1.8 for kitchens and a half gallon for public bathrooms.

Sanctions a big issue in nuke talks W ASHINGTON — The biggest enforcement provision in the preliminary nuclear agreement with Iran is turning into one of the mostly hotly contested elements. And the debate barely involves Iran. Instead, it concerns the Obama adm i nistration's promise to quickly re-impose sanctions on Iran if the Islamic Republic cheats on any part of the agreement to limit itsnuclear program topeaceful pursuits. This would be relatively straightforward for the sanctions imposed by the U.S., as Congress is eager to keep the pressure on. But it is far from clear whether President Barack Obama can guarantee such action at the United Nations, which has imposed wide-ranging penalties that all U.N. members must enforce.

The punishment comes as the state's top utility regulator, Public Utilities Commission President Michael Picker, told The Associated Press he has called for a larger review into whether the state's biggest power utility should be broken up to improve safety. Pacific Gas & Electric Co., meanwhile, said it would accept the penalty without appeal and pledged to make its operations safer. PG&E CEO Tony Earley released a statement saying the utility was "deeply sorry" for the explosion. "The lessons of this tragic event will not be forgott en,"he said.

The commission will also investigate whether to go affer bonuses and stock options that PG&E gives executives, and it will launch a formal investigation intothe utility's"cultureofsafety." The penalty, which was adopted after one of the five commissioners recusing himself from the vote, requires PG&E shareholders to pay $850 million toward gas transmission safety improvements. It also orders PG&E to pay a $300 million penalty that goes into the state's general fund. It mandates the utilitypay $400million in bill credits, and it directs approximately $50 million toward other remedies. Commission ofIicials said they would work with state tax officials to limit the utility's ability to deduct the penalty.

A group of "dreamers" is eyeing ways to expand on services offered at the Tuolumne County Senior Center and create an all-age community center. In a nutshell, the idea is to either add to existing programs at the Tuolumne County Senior Center in Sonora or to start fresh with a different building or location and rename it the "Mother Lode Community Center." The idea began after a brainstorming session between Carleton Penwell and Ed Wyllie. Penwell is the creator of Leadership Tuolumne County and Leadership Tuolumne Seniors, and Ed Wyllie is executive director of the Sonora Area Foundation. That led to another conversation with Tuolumne County Supervisor Randy Hanvelt and former executive director of the Senior Center and Skyline Place, Mike Ruggles. The four saw the need to enlarge the group and assess challenges and opportunities by networking with other communities and getting input from various local agencies, Penwell explained at a Monday brown-bag lunch information session at the Tuolumne County Senior Center. Senior centers have been a backbone of serviceprovision to aging adults for half a century, but this model, especially in Tuolumne County, has become antiquated, Penwell explained. "It istime to take a transformational look at not just the senior center building, but also the 'Senior Center' concept," Penwell said. About 41 percentof Tuolumne County residentsare 55 or older,and the population will continue to increase each year, Penwell said. "The makeup of this group is getting healthier, wealthier, better educated and orientedtoward different needs and services," Penwell said. "We have an opportunityto engage the winds of change head-on by creatively addressing the needs and wants of our 'new agers' as well as the community at large," Penwell said.

It is not the group's intent to compete with local businesses or duplicate services. "We need to do a lot of community assessment," he said. Casas told the group the senior center is a modular building and was originally intended to be temporary until more funding for a permanent facility became available. "It's a very active facility. We're bulging with activities. My goal is to build and enhance the programs and activities," Casas said. However, the new community center would still keep in mind and serve the county's homebound and less-active senior population, he said.

State fishing license sales show sharp downturn The California S portfishing League is an organization dedicated to preserving fishing opportunities in our state.

That organization noted that since 1980, fishing license sales have di'opped more than 55 percent. The decline is believed to be caused by the constantly rising cost of a fishing license and regulatory barriers. An adult fishing license is now over $47. Ironically enough, when kids turn 16-years-old, they are required to have an adult license. A survey showed that the average cost of a license in all other states is

of a fastball and a killer curveball, Casteel stified the Redskins. "He threw the breaking ball for strikes and kept us off balance," said Calaveras head coach Tom DeLappe."He forced us to swing the bat and to swing at pitches we didn't want to swing at. He threw well." Calaveras seniorJason Stokkeland started the ballgame with a standup double and he would later score on a Trenton

OAKLAND — Until the playoffs arrive, the Golden State Warriors will take motivation where they can find it. On Thursday night, fueledbya determination to avoid their first three-game losing streak in a long season, they rode 45 points &om Stephen Curry to beat the Port- 4<~Ri land Trail Blazers 116-105 in &ont of their 120th consecutive sellout. "I think it is a really impressive statistic. It's veryrare for a team to go through an entire season without three losses in a row," coach Steve Kerr said beforethegame."It' ssomething we're proud of." Curry scored 19 points in the fourth quarter and brokehis own single-season NBA record for 3-point baskets as Golden State halted its fourth two-game skid of

the season.

Now 64-15, the Warriors won their 15th straight home game, improving to 36-2 atOracie Arena to tie

and took Jimmie Ward; their second-round pick was Carlos Hyde andthethird-round pick was Chris Borland. Would Baalke give up his irst-,second- (No. 46 overall) f and third-round picks (No. 79) just to get into the top eight this year? No, don' I tsee it. Maybe Baalke would surrender a later pick to move up two or three slots; he moved a fourth-rounder to move up two slots in 2010 to take Anthony Davis 11th overall. But I think it's most likely that the 49ers will stay put at 15, which isn't a bad spot. At 15, Baalke might be able to take his pick among defensive lineman Arik Armstead, cornerback Marcus Peters or receivers DeVante Parker and Dorial Green-Beckham. Not the sexiest names in this draft; but Baalke has done well with his method and this isn't the time to start veering into new territory now.

After the first few rounds, don'tbe surprised ifthe 49ers take a quarterback and build themselves some depth at that spotafter a few years ofnothing much at all behind Colin Kaepernick. And maybe to give Kaeper-

He finished8 for 13 &om deep and is at 276 and counting. Having already clinched home-court a d v antage throughout the playoffs, the Warriors close the regular season with three more games at home, starting Saturday against Minnesota. "We shouldbe in a pretty good place," said Kerr, looking fanvad to some off-day practices. 'Tm excited about whatwecandobetweennow and our first playoff game." Kerr certainly should feel good about Klay Thompson, who used the occasion to snap out of an early April funk. He was shooting just 35 percent and averaging 12.5 points in four games this month but scored 26, including a 3-pointer with 5:46 left that gave Golden State the lead for good. Curry then followed that with a long 3-pointer, and the Warriors led 98-93. Curry helped hold off a Portland comeback, scoring 15 points over the final 5:16. All five Warriors starters scored in double digits for the seventh time this season, with Draymond Gre.n contributing 11 points and 14 rebounds. The Trail Blazers used an 18-2 run to forge a 4936 lead with 5:25 left in the first half. The Warriors answeredwith a blurofa21-5 blitz to close the half with a 57-54 lead. Golden State stretched its lead to 67-56 after a basket &om Andrew Bogut with 9:25 left in the third quarter. Portland came right backwith a 12-2 surge and the teams were even at

84-all entering the fourth. Coming off road losses to San Antonio and New Orleans, Kerr acknowledged the team's level of play suffered"alittlebitofa slip."He wasn't even satisfied with

wins over Phoenix and Dallas in two pnxeding games, but chalked most of it up to "human nature," with little in the way of tangible motivation.

Maxwell's 12th-inning single lifts SF over SD SAN DIEGO (AP) — The pressure for Justin Maxwell was to make the San Francisco Giants in spring training, which he did as a non-roster invitee. So there wasn't much to

stress about Thursday, when he delivered a pinch-hit RBI single with two outs in the 12th inning and the San Francisco Giants spoiled the newlook San Diego Padres' home opener with a 1-0 victory. The Giants won despite being held to six hits by six pitchers. "My season started as soon

as spring training started," Maxwell said. "I had to perform to get on this team." The lone run came against Nick Vincent (0-1) in a rally that consisted ofan error,an intentional walk and Maxwell's single. Brandon Crawford reached with one out when backpedaling shortstop Clint Barmes dropped his pop fly in shallow left. With two outs, Gregor Blanco was i n t entionally walked before Maxwell, batting for winner George Kontos, singled up the middle. "I was just trying to hit the ball hard," Maxwell said. 'He made some tough pitches and Ifaced him a few years ago so I kind of knew what he threw. When Crawford got on base there, then they walked

eYou could tell both teams wanted it real bad," Kontos said. "Kimbrel in the ninth went out there and got in a little bit of a jam and got out of it, and we got some jams we got out of." Padres starter Ian Kennedy left after straining his left hamstring while making a pitch to Nori Aoki with one out in the third inning. He signaled to the dugout that something was wrong, and manager Bud Black and a trainer came out to the mound. Kennedy was pulled immediately. Manager Bud Black said Kennedy could go on the disabled list. On his last pitch of the second, Kennedy said he "felt something grab, almost like a cramp feeling." He said the trainer tried to loosen it up but he felt it tighten again. Odrisamer Despaigne, who lost the spring training battle for the job as No. 5 starter to Brandon Morrow, retired 14 straight batters. He inherited a 2-1 count to Aoki. Aoki walked — it counted against Kennedy — before Despaigne retired the side. Despaigne then breezed through four perfect innings, with one

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 houniondemocrat.com

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 California Civil Code.

ANSWER: I can't tell you about your husband, but I can tell you that there are people whose sexual behavior persistently damages themselves, their finances and their relationships, and that they often feel powerless to stop it. They have underlying psychological issues, especially mood disorderB like anxiety and depression. One author stated that the disorder isn't about Bex, any more than "an eating disorderisabout food orpathological

Keith Roach, M.D. wasn't the first and isn't the only way. I do feel that the term "addiction" is overused,and this iB no exception. When we talk about addiction to alcohol,cocaine or opiateB,there are changes in the brain that can be found by sophisticated testing, and these have not been found in people who are described aB "Bex addicts." So

I don't think the terminology "sexual addiction"iB accurate, even if some of

the treatmentsare similar to those used for medication addiction. Your point about whether your huBband waB "having the time of his life" is more important than you might have recognized.

While I couldn't blame you for wanting to divorce your husband, I think speaking with your husband'B therapist (he would need to give permission) might give you some insight that could help you decide whether your compassion for him iB deserved or misplaced. DEAR DR, ROACH: My question iB, If a person eats a 2,000-calorie meal, how many calories, when digested, are absorbed by the body? I 6nd it hard to believe that the body will absorb every single one of the 2,000 calories ingested. Please advise. — J.H.

Today is Friday, April 10, the 100th day of 2015. There are 265 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On April 10, 1925, the novel "The Great Gatsby," F. Scott Fitzgerald's Jazz Age evocation of empty materialism, shattered illusion and thwarted romance, was first published by Scribner's of New York. On this date: In 1815, the Mount Tambora volcano on the Indonesian island of Sumbawa exploded in one of the largest eruptions in recorded history, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. In 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, a day after surrendering the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House, said farewell to his men, praising them for their "unsurpassed courage and fortitude." In 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, on its ill-fated maiden voyage. In 1947, Brooklyn Dodgers President Branch Rickey purchased the contract of Jackie Robinson from the Montreal Royals. In 1953, the 3-D horror movie "House of Wax," produced by Warner Bros. and starring Vincent Price, premiered in New York. In 1963, the fast-attack nuclear submarine USS Thresher (SSN-593) sank during deep-diving tests east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in a disaster that claimed 129 lives. In 1974, Golda Meir told party leaders she was resigning as prime minister of Israel. In 1985, singer Madonna launched "The Virgin Tour" with a concert at the Paramount Theater in Seattle.

ber. Food that iB cooked or processed tends to have calories that are more easilyaccessible and more absorbable. This may be one reason that those who eat only raw foods tend to lose weight (another may be that they avoid h ighly c alorie-dense foods). There also are medical conditions that prevent us from absorbing food properly (lactose intolerance and celiacdisease are two of the more common of the many causes of malabsorption).

Since he cannot avoid losing tricks to the rounded-suit aces, he must eliminate a spade loser.

Volunteer pilots help doomed dogs land new chance at life The group's 5,000-plus pilots have flown more than 15,000 dogs to new homes each of the past two years,relocating more than 75,000 animals over the last seven years, she said. And the numbers keep rising. "Pilots love a reason to fly. They love making these flights," Quinn said, adding that all dogs have to be spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinatedbefore they take off.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — For some dogs, a chance at the good life takes off when the pilots do.

Groups such as Californiabased Wings of Rescue or South Carolina-based Pilots N Paws lead the charge,recruiting pilots to volunteer their planes, fuel and time in a trend that's growing as more dogs end up in shelters and more people seek out canine love.
