West Coastsardine season calledoff

SaturdayAfternoon: 1, 9, 6 Evening: 0, 1, 2

SANTA ROSA — Fisheriesmanagers have decided to call off the West Coast sardine fishing season that starts in July because of rapidly dwindling numbers, hoping to save an iconic industry &om the kind of collapse that hit in the 1940s and lasted 50 years.

Meeting outside Santa Rosa, California, the Pacific Fishery Management Council voted Sunday to close the season starting July 1.

It had little choice. Estimates of sardine abundance have fallen below the level for a mandatory fishing shutdown.

The council next will decide whether overfishing has been a factor in the latest collapse, which could trigger an emergency shutdown of the current season, which runs through June.

bet heavily on the electorate's &ustrations with Washington and his ability to change how his party is seen by voters.

Rubio's remarks came as Clinton was traveling to Iowa on her first trip as a candidate.

Her entrance into the race

with an online video Sunday is robbing some attention from Rubio's splash into the race.

But Rubio saw an opportunity to cast the presidential contest as one between a &esh face representing a new generation ofleadership and familiar faces harking back decades — namely, the 62-year-old Bush and the 67-year-old Clinton.

Within the next few days, Tuolumne County government officials will go to Sacramento to make a case before the state Insurance Commissioner, arguing insurance companies are unfairly gouging or outright dropping homeowners from fire coverage.

The potential economic impact of their success in convincing Dave Jones' office to intervene is huge. It affects the future of real estate sales and home building in the county.

This is because potential home buyers will have a hard time landing a loan if unable to find an insurance policy. Too, existing homeowners may find themselves in a bind — pinched by increasingly unaffordable insurance rates and unable to sell their home or trade up within the county.

How widespread is this problem?

Tuolumne County officials in mid-February ago began collecting data from homeowners affected.

As of April 1, the county has gotten back 31 surveys.

The reports came from far and wide. Most are cen-

tered around forested areas, and areas threatened by 2013's Rim Fire. This would include Groveland, Tuolumne andTwain Harte.

But even a few complaints have come from the Sonora area, which, logic would dictate, is in less danger than many places because the city is less-densely forested, there are plenty of fire hydrants, and the city is covered by a full-time professional fire department.

The reasons given to the affected homeowners run the gamut. But, for the most part, insurance companies are relying on fire-hazard maps which county officials say are flawed.

Too, some insurance companies won't recognize volunteer fire departments in assessing firefighting coverage, and many point to the Rim Fire as proof of future fire hazards.

County Administrator Craig Pedro says the latter is folly.

"If you look at the loss of structures, it was very low.

If you look at a big, bad fire like that and the minimal number of structures, it should have been considered a success and not a failure," he said.

"Where is the nexus between increased fire risk and increased rating. We don't see it."

In building its case for the Insurance Commissioner, the county is continuing to collect surveys from residents who have seen price hikes or had coverage dropped in recent years.

A lot is at stake here — both from the broader economy of the county, and also for people on a personal level.

Completing the county's survey is one way to get involved. You can do this by contacting the County Administrators Office at 533-5511, or by going to the county website: www.tuolumnecounty.ca gov.

Too, people can directly petition the Insurance Commissioner's Office.

Formal consumer complaint forms are available on-line a t w w w .insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/101help/. People can also call the commissioner's office at 800-927-4357.

GUEST COLUMN

Harris Senate coronation all but certain It's now a certainty that Kamala Harris will have an opponent on the November 2016 ballot. But much less certain is whether that opponent will be any more threatening that Elizabeth Emken, an autism activist who placed second in California's 2012 Senate primary election, was to incumbent Dianne Feinstein.

For one by one, potentially formidable opponents to the election of Harris, now the state attorney general and previously district attorney of San Francisco, have fallen by the wayside since early January.

Billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer took himself out early. So did state Treasurer John Chiang, followed by former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and current Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, the former San Francisco mayor who opted instead to run for governor in 2018. Then former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice took herself out, possibly because she would have had to face questions about her role in deceptions that led to the war in Iraq. Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin also nixed a run.

Any one of those four fellow Democrats and two Republicans could have posed athreat for Ha rris'bid to replace the retiring Sen. Barbara Boxer. Harris doesn't look particularly intimidating, but she got to work very quickly on the Senate race, declaring for the job almost immediately after Boxer announced her impending retirement.

Before anyone else had done much of anything, she staged high-profile fundraisers in Bel Air, Long Beach, San Francisco and Washington D.C. At the same time, she quickly got endorsements &om dozens of prominent Democrats. Harris, who handily won reelection as attorney general last fall before starting this run,

Put all this together and she's a pretty intimidating candidate.

Yes, there's still the possibility of someone else substantial getting in against Harris, whose name was recognized by only 40 percent of likely voters in one late-winter poll. But so far, the only declared opponent is Republican Assemblyman Rocky Chavez of San Diego County.

Several Democratic congressional vet-

erans, realizing that gerrymandering in otherstateshasmade itvery difficultfor their party to regain control of the House of Representatives, also might risk making this run.

While Harris' early entrance, bully pulpit as attorney general and her early endorsements strengthen her, she lacks the huge war chest used so often by senatorial candidates like Feinstein, Alan Cranston and Pete Wilson to scare off significant opposition. Newsom, who quickly raised $800,000 this winter to run for governor atop the $3 million left in his campaign kitty after last year's run for reelection, will plainly try to em-

But Harris didn't have that kind of money before she began raising new fundsand has not made a formal fi nancial report. She had just $1.3 million in her campaign account when her reelection run ended last fall, and it's unclear how much of that is transferable to a federal campaign.

By contrast, Burbank Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff had $2.1 million in his war chestat lastreport,and allofitcould be used for a Senate run if he opts for that over reelection. Schiffhas also said he thinks it's time a credible Southern California candidate challenged the state's San Francisco-based Democratic power elite, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Newsom, Harris, party chairman John Burton and Gov. Jerry Brown, with his base across the Bay in nearby Oakland.

Villaraigosa, with s t rong appeal among Latinovoters, had appeared poised to be that kind of candidate before pulling out. Another Latino might yet emerge as a Harris challenger, with Orange County Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez and Xavier Becerra of East Los Angeles, part of the House Democratic leadership, still possibilities.

A water leak at Cassina High School that was reported to Tuolumne Utilities District on Thursday night was repaired Monday.

Workers with TUD turned offallwa tervalves adjacent to the leak, reducing flow by 90 percent by late Thursday, accordingto district spokeswoman Lisa Westbrook.

"We could tell that it looked as though it was a customersideleak on theschool' sproperty," Westbrook said. "Our field foreman was so concerned about the leak that he called the maintenance person for the high school who met him at the property."

On Friday, TUD received another call from a contractor who was called to do the repair, Westbrook said. A TUD field crew met with the contractor and the maintenance person for more than two hours to help locate the leak.

A comprehensive update of the county's General Plan has not been completed since 1996, though many aspects of the plan have been updated periodically since that time.

The county's 1996 General Plan estimated population growth to exceed 97,000 by now, but the current population is only about 53,604.

Under the proposed update, the population is expected to reach about 63,000 residents by 2040. The update changes land-use designations in some areas to account for the projected growth, which is expected to require the additionofabout 5,300 residentialunits.

About 4,300 parcels would be affected by the proposed zoning changes, which will mostly allow for higher-density housing in those areas.

Mountains offer scenic drive, sampling Decades ago, one of my first winery tasting experiences was a visit to Mirassou Family Winery near San Jose in Santa Clara County.

A m u ltigenerational winery, grapes for their wines were sourced from their vineyards in the area.

Several other large wineries were important to the region and drew visitors to their operations. But it wasn't long after my visit that I heard about these vineyards succumbing to the housing boom and the valley's urban sprawl. Mirassou sold, and the region soon became more famous for silicon chips than wine tasting trips.

But a recent visit to San Jose and the hillside ringing the valley showed me a wine region that never really went away. In the hills to the west of San Jose are a number

tory, and it shows in its surroundings. I was taken with their Stainless fermented 2013 viognier. They source a share of their grapes &om throughout California but alsoofFer severalexamples of Santa Cruz and Santa Clara vineyards. The Picchetti Estate Zinfandel was planted more than 100 years ago and is anold-vine red that sees more than 30 months in oak which lends to black cherry and smoke flavorscoupled with a long finish.

Farther south, near Saratoga, is Cooper Garrod Estate, a family-owned winery that has 28 acres of organically grown grapes.

Perched on this v alley rim, their grapes take advantage of the cool foggy evenings but see plenty of daytime sun. Open seven days a week, their estate produced wines range from chardonnay and viognier, to cabernet sauvignon planted by the Coopers over 40 years

ago. Founded by George Cooper, a retired NASA research test pilot, the land was originally planted with apricot and prune orchards more than 120 years ago by the Garrod family whose daughter, Louise, eventually married George.A unique side attraction is their popularriding stables at Garrod Farms, which are adjacent to the winery. Now producing more than 2,400 cases, George's son, David, is in charge of the operation, and their destination has proven popularwith over 90 percent of their wine being sold in the tasting room.

One of the most interesting stops is Testarossa Winery, which is perched just above Los Gatos and now occupies the historic Novitiate Winery. Built in 1 888 by Jesuit fathers from nearby Santa Clara College, a stop hereoffersvisitorsa glimpse at one of the most interest-

ing wineries in N orthern

sacramental wines during prohibition when most of California's wineries were forcedtoshut down. Itclosed in thelate 1960s.

Testarossa Winery was founded by Rob and Diana Jensen in their garage more than 20 years ago with an initial production of 25 cases. They eventually gave up their high-tech careers and turned their attention to winemaking full-time, taking over the empty Novitiate sitein the late 1990s.

They now produce nearly 20,000 cases, including a number of award-winning wines made with g rapes sourced &om some of the most accl aimed vineyards on the Central Coast. Focusing on primarilychardonnay and pinot noir, the stylistic difFerences make it an informative stop for any wine lover. The Jensens have not lost their connection with the nearby high-tech world as their intriguing facility has become a special -event spotfor m eet ings and parties. The winery alsoholds a number ofspecial food and wine tastings each yearwith localchefs.

So, if you find yourself in the San Jose area for a 49ers game, a Santana Row shopping spree, a concert at Mountain Winery, or touring the Winchester Mystery House, be sure to include a scenic drive to them there hills above the valley.

Unplug your h i gh-tech GPS and enjoy these wineries as if itwas20yearsago.

round or oval fruits are packed with nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin C, niacin, iron and even some protein.

For most varieties, ripe rambutan will be bright red. The tips of the soft spines should have little or no black. To remove the thin rind, cut partway in then pry the &uit open, as if opening an egg. Watch out for sweet, dripping juice! Once the rind is open, gently squeeze the &uit out.

Enjoy the flesh, but don't eat the bitter central seed. Rambutan is best eaten &esh, but it can also be used in cocktails and tropical fruit salad, or simmered into a simple syrup.

another 1 teaspoon oil and spread on half of a second baking sheet. Toss beet slices with another 1 teaspoon oil; spread on the other half of the pan. Sprinkle the vegetables with 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Roast the vegetables, stirring once halfway through and rotating the baking sheets top to bottom and front to back, until soft and beginning to caramelize, 25 to 30 minutes. Arrange on a serving platter.

Meanwhile, mash garlic and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl with the back of a spoon until a paste forms. Add lemon juice, capers and anchovy(if using). Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil; drizzle over the vegetables.

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation.

They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.com

Causes ofvocal changes are many and varied DEAR DR. ROACH:Over the past year, my voice has become hoarse or raspy. I find that I often have to clear my throat while speaking. I've hatI a stomach endoscopy and a colonoscopy done, the results of which were noted as "normal." Nothing has changed in my life, such as climate, diet, clothing, furnishings, etc. I have never smoked.

I suspect it may be allergies, since antihistamines seem to help somewhat.

Is this the best solution? — N.G. ANSWElt Vocal changes can be the result of many common conditions.

Voice changes lasting more than two or threeweeks should be evaluated by an ENT doctor, since there are serious conditions that can manifest in voice

cords, which may be why you had the upper endoscopy.

Chronic sinusitis with postnasal drip is one cause of hoarseness that can be improved with antihistamines. However,Iwould notbe comfortable treating this long-term with antihistamines without a more thorough evaluation than you have reported.

Today is Tuesday, April 14, the 104th day of 2015.

There are 261 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was shot and mortally wounded

by John Wilkes Booth during a performance of "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theater in Washington.

On this date: In 1775, the first American society for the abolition of slavery was formed in Philadelphia.

In 1828, the first edition of Noah Webster's "American Dictionary of the English Language" was published.

In 1912, the British liner RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic at 11:40 p.m. ship's time and began sinking.

(The ship went under two hours and 40 minutes later with the loss of 1,514 lives.)

In 1935, the "Black Sunday" dust storm descended upon the central Plains, turning a sunny afternoon into total darkness.

In 1939, the John Steinbeck novel "The Grapes of Wrath" was first published

by Viking Press.

In 1965, the state of Kansas hanged Richard Hickock and Perry Smith for the 1959 murders of Herbert Clutter, his wife, Bonnie, and two of their children, Nancy and Kenyon.

In 1975, Academy Awardwinning actor Fredric March, 77, died in Los Angeles.

In 1981, the first test flight of America's first operational space shuttle, the Columbia, ended successfully with a landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

In 1995, Oscar-winning actor-singer Burl Ives died in Anacortes, Washington, at age 85.

OROS CO!'E Birthday for April 15.Passion, romance and fun shine this year. Play with people you love. Practice your arts and skills to raise your pay scale. Write, record and publish.

Launch 8 big project or adventure after 6/14. Breakthroughs at work arise after 10/13. New personal perspectives and priorities unfold after 10/27. Instill playfulness into your work. Fortune favors love.

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 an 8 —Handle urgent deadlines today. It may not be fun, but has long-lasting benefits. A controversy arises. Somebody's testing your determination, and the strength of what you've built. Stick to the basics. Relax after you hit "send".

Taurus (April 20-May 20):Today is a 9 — Getfriends to help. You can rise to a challenge. There are plenty of obstacles, including 8 lack of funding. Don't get rushed into making errors. Expect the unrealistic. Listen to all considerations. Everything seems possible together.

Gemini (May 21 June 20): Today is a 9 — Stick to simple plans. Curtail spending on frivolities. Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Imagine a brilliant future.

Play by the rules and exceed expectations. Be gentle with a quiet person. Trust your own experience.

Cancer (June 21 July 22): Today is 8 9 — Wade through more controversy before you reach an agreement. Old ideas die hard. Re-assess your assets. Sell what you don't need. Stick to your budget. Balance study with exercise. Get outside. Sample 8 new cuisine.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):Today is 8 9 — Postpone chores.

A financial roadblock requires adaptation. It could seem chaotic or confusing. Encourage your partner to prioritize expenses. Drop everything until it's resolved. Ignore rude comments or irritability. Avoid stupid arguments. Lateness could get expensive.

Virgo (Aug. 234ept. 22):Today is a 9 — Avoid a misun-

and possibly colon cancer risk. When I discuss aspirin with my patients, I very seldom recommend it to anyone with no known coronary disease who has had a significant side effect (such as bleeding) with aspirin in the past.

First, after winning with his diamond king (low from touching honors when playing third hand high), Eastcashed the diamond ace.When West followed suit with his two, it told East that West had led from a five-card suit. Then, needing two club tricks, what did East do?

If West had the club king, it wouldn't matter, but in case West had only the queen, East shifted to his club two. Then he waited to see if South would guess correctly.

Finally, note that if West had led from a four-card diamond suit, he would have played a diamond higher than the five at trick two. Then East would have cashed his club ace before leading his last diamond.

Calaveras Redskins senior running back Connor Hamilton was one of the toughest ball carriers in the Mother Lode League in 2014 and enjoyed a monster season piling up yards and touchdowns for the Redskins on his way to the Offensive Player of the Year award.

"He was our go-to guy," Calaveras head coach Jason Weatherby said. "He was our best player and he was a very large part of the team. He was the guy we went to on first and third down. We felt confident giving him the ball any time during the game."

Hamilton became the player to stop his senior season, and benefited from the fly-sweep offense the Redskins employ. He now has a new offense to learn as Simpson runs a pro-style system, and will run mostly single back and Iformation.

"They are going to use me as a running back and I'm sure I will play some special teams my first year," Hamilton said. "The offense will be something new for me, but I think that I will be able to pick it up rather quickly."

'You have to be tough to play collegefootball because you are going up against bigger, faster, stronger guys than you would in high school.

Coach Weatherby taught me good mental toughness and physical toughness as well. I think that will really benefit me playing at Simpson."

Hamilton w il l at t e nd Simpson not only by his brawn, but also because of his brain. Ks 8.6 GPA was good enough to earn him a partial academic scholarship, and he plans on earning his degree in business management and athletic training.

Ks plans, once his football career is over, is to help elementary and high school kids get the teaching and training they will need to reach the pinnacle of their athletic ability.

But for now, Hamilton is training four days a week with a program that was sent to him by Simpson, and the other three days he has his own workout regimen.

And that's all while being a member of the Redskins' track and field team this spring.

He leaves for Indianola in early August for training camp, and he is determined

to be in the best physical shape of his life for his college debut.

"His worth ethic is outstanding," Weatherby said.

extra and it's not just during the season, but during the offseason as well. When I saw him working in the weightroom during his junior season, I knew he had what it took to be able to play at the next level."

Before he dons a Simpson College uniform, he will strap on a Calaveras helmet one final time in the Lions All-Star Football game on June 18, at Tracy High School.

"He needs to continue to work hard and be humble," Weatherbysaid."Ifhe doesn't reach a goal, he needs to be humble and just refocus.

It's much diQerent being an 18-year-old playing in high school, than going against 28-year-old men in college.

Those guys who are seniors in college have been working for four of five years, so they are will make him workhard to prove he should be there. I think he could play running back, strong safety, or outside linebacker if he's open to that. I think he will have a successful career."

RALLY

SPORTSBRIEFS WR Crabtree announcesdeal to join Oakland Raiders ALAMEDA — The OaklandRaiders have agreed to a deal with free agent wide receiver Michael Crabtree.

Crabtree announced on his Twitter account that he is joining the Raiders and the team confirmed the signing later Monday night.

He will become a Raider six years later than many people expected.

Oakland passed on Crabtree in the 2009 draft even though he was considered the top-ranked receiver. The Raidersinstead took the fasterDarrius Heyward-Bey seventh overall, threespots before Crabtree went to

when he had 85 catches for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns, while helping San Francisco make it to the Super Bowl. But Crabtree tore his Achilles tendon the following offseasonand was limited to 19 catches for 284 yards in five games in 2013.

In six seasons with San Francisco, Crabtree caught 347 passes for 4,327 yards and 26 touchdowns.

The Raiders have been in need of help at receiver for years. Oakland hasn't had a player top 1,000 yards receiving in a season since Randy Moss did it in 2005.

James Jones led the team last season with 73 catches but gained only 666 yards, an average of just 9.1 yards per catch.

Oakland has notadded another receiveryet this offseason despite a glaringneed for playmakers to help quarterback Derek Carr.

Carr showed positive signs as a rookie starting 16 games, but he averagedjust 5.5 yardsper passin part becauseofalack ofquality receivers.

Meeting outside Santa Rosa, California, the Pacific Fishery Management Council voted Sunday to close the season starting July 1.

It had little choice. Estimates of sardine abundance have fallen below the level for a mandatory fishing shutdown.

The council next will decide whether overfishing has been a factor in the latest collapse, which could trigger an emergency shutdown of the current season, which runs through June. It votes Wednesday.
