CHP: Barrera allegedly under influence of sedative, marijuana during fatal crash

By ABBY DIVINE The Union Democrat

California Highway Patrol Officers continue to investigate Tuesday's fatal car accident that led to a woman being charged with second-degree murder.

Brenda Estefania Barrera, 24, of Sunnyvale, was allegedly driving under the influence of a sedative and marijuana, according to California Highway Patrol Oflicer Nick Norton.

However, as of Friday, it Ba r rera had not been determined if the drugwas prescribed toherornot.

Norton said whether the drug was prescribed or not isn't necessarily relevant.

Barrera's arraignment on Thursday was continued to 8:30 a.m. May 8 in Department4 oftheTuolumne County Superior Court. Her defense attorney, Public Defender Robert Price, said he is still waiting to view the evidence in the case.

The accident was reported about 10 a.m. on Highway 120 near J-59.

Barrera, in a 2005 Mercedes Benz, was traveling west when her car drifted into the eastbound lane and into the path ofa 2005 Chevrolet sedan driven

by Maxsimiano Aldana, 78, of Escalon, according to a California Highway Patrol report.

Both cars were traveling about 55 mph when they collided, according to the CHP report.

Aldana's sedan landed on its roof on the south edge of the road after the impact caused it to spin and roll, the report

A driver cannot get behind the wheel under the influence of any prescribed narcotic that impairs their ability to drive. said.

The accident killed Maxsimiano Aldana, 78. His three passengers, including his now-widowed wife, Martha Aldana, 69, of Escalon, Vincente Cabrera, 85, and Sara Cabrera, 80, both of Riverbankall suffered major injuries in the crash.

Vincente Cabrera on Friday was in critical condition with major internal injuries, Martha Aldana on Friday was undergoing treatment for broken bones and other internal injuries, Norton said.

The other passenger was treated and released.

ThaciaGodinez,21,ofSunnyvale,was Barrera's passenger. Norton on Friday saidshe had been treated and released from Doctors Medical Center in Modesto.

"One bad decision can get you put away for years," Norton said.

Ifconvicted of second-degree murder, Barreracould face a prison sentence of 15-yearsto life.

Law enforcement officials want the public to be aware of recent phone scams targeting their tax-refund money.

Scammers are aggressivelytargeting vulnerable and trusting people in the community, according to Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Scott Johnson.

Scammers usually contact people by telephone or through emails, Johnson said.

Two Calaveras County residents about 10 a.m. Thursday reported they had receiveda phone callfrom a scammer claiming to be an agent for the Internal Revenue Service.

A Sonora-area woman last week said she wasalso called by someone posing as an IRS agent who asked her to send money to avoid a warrant for her arrest.

She suspected the call to be a scam and notified officials.

Tuolumne County Sheriff's Deputy Scott Meyer returned the scammer's phone call which "ended shortly" after the caller was told he worked in law enforcement, according to Sheriff's Office records.

Victims in such cases are told they owe money to the IRS, and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refusesto cooperate,they are then threatened with arrest,deportation or suspension of a business or driver's license, according to an IRS press release.

IRS officials, in a press release, said they will never: • call to demand immediate payment.

A bill will be sent if payment is due.

• demand tax payment without an opportunity to question or appeal the

Another phone scam going around involves a caller posing as a victim's relative. The scammer tells the victim they are imprisoned in another state, or country, and need bailmoney.

A scammer earlier this month called a Sonora-areawoman and told herthey were her cousin who was incarcerated in Mexico, according to reports.

Comcast reported on Friday a scammer claiming to be a Comcast employee who attempted to victimize several customers. The caller asked the victims for "remoteaccess"to their computer to fix issues. The scammer will access the victim's personal information and charge them money, according to a Comcast amount owed. press release.

an

spokeswoman Lisa Westbrook sat down with Opinion Page Editor

Craig Cassidy this week to discuss a range of topics, including the district's water supply, TUD's financial situation, infrastructure needs, possible rate increases, and long-

range planning.

For background: Part of the conversation focused on water stored behind Pinecrest and Lyons reser-

voirs, which usually fill to the brim (referred to hereas "fill and spill").

The two reservoirs, while storing

waterfor44,000 Tuolumne County residents, are owned and operated

by Pacific Gas and Electric and used for hydroelectric power generation.

The first part of this hour-long interview ran Friday.

This district is discussing increasing waterrates to pay for infrastructure. Do you have a sense of when a rate increase would be put up?

Not really, because one of the critical parts of the rate increase is, for one, to educate the public so they understand what they are getting for their money — that they are getting system improvements.

That will take a li ttle longer than the hardcore engineer-type in me would like to do — get in there and say, "Do the numbers. OK this is what we need to do."

It will take a while.

Will it be in the time you are here?

I would like to start it in the time I'm here.

So, by this summer, there should be ... talk and information going out to the public.

How much of arate increase do you think is necessary?

You know, I'm still working on the numbers. Back in 2009, it was proposed afive-year phase-in of a $32-a-month increase. And, I don't know if it has to be quite that large.

But something of that scale.

The struggle right now is to figure out how much it takes to oper-

ate and maintain the district.

W e havegotlots and lots ofprojects wecan do.It's not realistic to think we can get them all done in two years or five years. We have to figureout some reasonable scale.

One of the things I think about is just the depreciation. How much does the system erode every year?

Think about all the miles of pipelines and the tanks and look at that number.

There's still the balance of what is aÃordable. This is not a wealthy community and putting on a really large,significant rate increase can be aburden. We have to figure out a balance.

What else is TUD up to?

People should check into the Community Water Council and yourwaterchoices.com.

I think that is an important thing for the community to keep an eye on. They will be able to understand some history and we're looking for them to voice their opinion on the water future.

As a real simple example: TUD, for alotof years,the goal was to builda new dam at Lyons. Spend a couple hundred million dollars, get a partner, raise the dam, inundate the river. Have all the water we need.

An alternative to that would be access and control over the PG&E system. If we ran those difFerently, would we need more storage and would weneed more projects?

So last week we met — the Community Water Council met — and people put out their ideas. One of them was the raise Lyons, more control over PG&E. There's justa lotofhistory offalse starts in the county.

There's five and a half million acre-feetof water stored in this county and we have access to less than 25,000?

Throughout the county, we create a lot of water and we are the stewards of that water. And we don't get much benefit out of it. So we are try-

ing to stop that mistake. But the real part is getting the community to say we want to do this with water. Or, we want to do that.

Just make a decision and stop, and follow it.

Is more control over PG&E's system realistic?

Well, I think it is.

They're power generation facilities. That is their job in life.

If we could operate them like a water supply feature first, and a power generation second, that would secure our water supply. Right now, that isone ofmy jobsis to try to do that.

Where is TUD is the process of doing this?

We're in the t hinkmg-about-it stage.

Is PG&E a willing seller?

We haven't approached it yet....

We do know in the past, the Phoenix Project — the Phoenix Project, Lyons Reservoir and the main canalwas DQered to TUD's predecessors.

How does that rank?

My personal order: Conservation first. Every facility we have,improve them and make the best use of all you got. That is going to be your cheapest source of water....

Conservation. The customer side is fairly economical.

After you have your system all nice and efFicient, then building small pockets of storage. Like up in Twain Harte and a couple other ones like Matelot, improving it.

Then the big new stuff. Is it better to build a new Lyons or acquire the existing Lyons and trying to acquire existing Pinecrest?

WATER Continued from Page Al fall in the Central Sierra since Oct. 1 — the start of the average rainy season — is just 14.5 inches, compared with 20.4 inches in 2013-14, 26.5 inches in 2012-13 and 25 inches in 2011-12.

The state's driest year in recorded history &om Oct.1,1923,to Sept.30,1924,produced 14.8 inches of rain.

Averagerainfallfor the region &om 1956 to 2005was 40.8inches.Trottsaid theregion ispredicted to receive only about 2.50 inches more rain by Sept. 30.

As a result ofthe prolonged dry spell,the Sierra snowpack — which typically produces about a third of the state's annual water supply — isat3 percent ofnormal for this tim e of year. That's the lowest measurement on recordup tothispoint,Trottsaid.

Lyons Reservoir, one of two main reservoirs in the TUD system, is currently holding about4,400 acre-feet— about 1,100acrefeet less than full. The reservoir was full and spilling by this time last year, Trott said.

Furthermore, statewide curtailments on post-1914water rights enacted Thursday may prevent TUD from moving water &om the larger Pinecrest Reservoir — which serves as the other main holding tank for the district's annual supply — to Lyons Reservoirfor storage laterthissummer.

Pinecrest Reservoir currently holds about 14,350acre-feet,roughly 78 percent ofm aximum capacity. Trott said the reservoir is not expected to completely fill this year, with the maximum elevation predicted to peak about 5,608feetin elevation.

The 5,608surface-elevation level is the current minimum required by the state &om Memorial Day to Labor Day to ensure enough water remains in the reservoir throughout the summer months for recreation, such as fishing, swimming and boating.

Pacific Gas and Electric Co., which owns both reservoirs and provides water to TUD for free under contract, has submitted a request to the State Water Resources Control Board to drop the minimum required level to 5,600 feet in dry years.

Trottexplained even ifthe state approves the request soon, it may not matter this year becausethe reservoir's levelis predicted to droptoabout5,590feetin elevation byLabor Day. Historically, THCSD has purchased its annual water supply from TUD as a wholesale customer.

"It's becoming more and more clear now that the water supply this year is in worse shapethan itwa slastyear,"Trottsaid.

Fearing that Pinecrest and Lyons reservoirs wouldn't fill last year, TUD implemented adistrict-widewater usage reduction goal of 50 percent that saw THCSD's water deliveries slashed in half. As a result, THCSD's required customers to reduce their usage by 50 percent, while TUD residential customers were only required to reduce by at least25 percent.

Last year, THCSD received a $450,000 state grant to drill a new commercial well near Eproson Park aimed at taking some

Water conservation rules Twain Harte Community Services District moved to Phase III water conservation measures Friday that require customers to reduce their monthly usage over 2013 by 30 percent.

Customerscan be fined up to $500 and have their water service restricted for excessive use or violating any of the terms of the restrictions.

Excessive use is defined as failing to reduce monthly water usage by at least 15 percent. Anyone using less than 3,000 gallons per month will not be required to reduce their usage any further.

All leaks must fixed within seven days following a written notice bythe district.

Landscape watering is allowed only two days per week on alternating days between the hours of 7 p.m. and 9 a.m. Properties with addresses ending in an even number may irrigate only on Thursday and Sunday, while properties with addresses ending in odd numbers can water on Wednesday and Saturday.

Trees or individual garden plants can only be watered with a bucket or a drip irrigation system.

Other restrictions include: • No washing cars, boats, trailers or other vehicles or equipment.

• No washing sidewalks, driveways, patios or other hard surfaces.

• Landscaping for new construction projects must be deferred until the Phase III restrictions are lifted.

• No water for decorative fountains, pools or recreational ponds.

• No water for dust control, earth compaction or other outdoor construction activities.

• No filling any new or existing empty swimming pools or spas.

wide water conservation regulations aimed at reducing water usage throughout Californiaby 25 percent,butTUD would be required to show a district-wide reduction of at least 24 percent.

As a small water supplier, THCSD could eitheradopt the state'sproposed regulations or simply limit outdoor watering to two days per week, Trott explained. However, he noted that most Twain Harte properties are not landscaped with lawns. ''We're going to have to do more than that to addressour water situation," he said.

"Clearly, we have more severe conditions in our community than the rest of the state."

District customers have responded positivelyto the calls for conservation so far, Trott said. They reduced their usage more than 50 percent last summer under the mandatory restrictions and have averaged about 30 percent since the beginning of the year on a voluntary basis.

Trott said some operational improvements have also contributed to the reduction in use, as well as electronic water meters that help district sta6'quickly identify leaks and allow customers to closely track their usage.

"A lot of people didn't even realize they had leaks and a lot were just simple toilet leaks," saidTHCSD Operations Manager Robb Perry,"and that adds up to a lot of water."

A typical toilet leak can waste up to 3,500 gallons a month, Perry said.

Less than 40 percent of TUD's 14,000 connections are equipped with electronic meters.

Updating all of the district's old, mechanical meters was estimated to cost upward of $4 million when discussed at a TUD Water Committee meeting in 2013.

THCSD Director Jim Johnson acknowledged the technology that allows district

Drilling work on another new commercial well in the Shadybrook subdivision is slated to begin in mid-May, Trott said. Estimated to be completed by August, the well is funded by a $450,000 grant through the state Integrated Regional Water Management Pro- staff to monitor water usage so closely as "one of the things that's helped us conserve gralil.

Experts say fencing is best

By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

Gardens and landscaping are tempting treats to deer in the Mother Lode, and local Master Gardeners say the best way to keep animals away is to have a high fence.

A fence around landscaping, a garden or fruit trees should be at least 6 feet high. If you can go 8 feet high, you're guaranteed to keep them out, said Master Gardener Lisa Page, of Sonora.

If you can do a 5-foot tall fence, add a couple strands of wire above it, to helpkeep them away,Page recommended.

Thereareseveralspray solutions tried by gardeners,Pageexplained, buttheones sold atretailstores wash ofF, and homemade sprays — such as an egg-and-water solution — can smell bad.

'The only thing is exclusion," Page said. "That's why you see people with rose bushes completely wrapped up in wire."

Page said she's heard of people using electric fencing, but the deer get wise.

'They don't seem very smart, but they look for food and water in the foliage, especially with the drought," Page said.

"Pretty much, thegl eat anything," Page said.

Even if a plant is "deer resistant," they11 try anything once, and baby deer are not nearly as discerning, Page explained.

"It's probably easier to baby proof than deer proof," Page said. "Exclusion is your main thing that will work.

Those other things are temporary. I wish there was a better solution."

There are a plethora of"deer resistant" plants, including California natives (see box, Page B2). Deer generally leave rosemary and perennial herbs alone, along with lavender and iris.

Columbia Master Gardener John Kendall said he has a 4-foot fence around his property and a 6-foot fence around his orchard. But he thinks his deer exclusion success has more to do with the abundance of lush vegetation nearby.

"To myknowledge,deerhave never been inside,butwe have a dog,"Kendallsaid.

However, he added, "we are in an area where there is plenty of vegetation for them to browse."

Kendall said that gardeners should remember that the "deer resistant" label is never a guarantee.

Deer will try almost anything once, he said, then promptly try to get it out of their systems because some plants can cause digestive discomfort.

"So they might not come back for it, but you still have the initial damage," Kendall said.

Master Gardener Jerry Cadotte, of What do deer eat? How doI Jupiter, said he installed a 7-foot-high know if I have deer in myyard? fencemade ofpolypropylene plastic Deer eat a variety of vegetation includmaterial, or deer netting. It's called ing woody plants, grasses, and forbs (small broadleaved flowering plants). They also consume fruit, nut, and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, and garden vegetables. Deer trample plants and damage young trees and shrubs by rubbing their antlers on trunks and limbs. Because most deer feed in the late evening and very early morning, it is not always easyto observe them. A good way to determine their presence in the garden or orchard is to look for hoof prints. Deer hooves are split, pointed at the front and more rounded at the rear, and are about two to three inches long. Deer droppings are another good indicator of their presence.

Repurposing. Recycling. We are all looking for new ways to use or re-use things in our

lives.

Clothing, furniture, tin foil, car oil, plastic milk jugs — all have a second life awaiting them. We know that many things in the garden may be usedforcompost for our plants, but is there something more?

The absolute, very best compost for your garden is created with vermiculture-

or worm composting.

Worm castings contain plant hormones that are not present in any other fertilizer or commercial compost mix.

Worm castings are able to go right into your beds and have a higher NPK rating than compost. Worms are easy to maintain (with a few hints) and eat things that are ending up in our landfills.

To build your own worm bin, use a shallow plastic bin.

Worms can sense light (they have no eyes), so use a dark colored bin. The top half of the bin should have V4 inch holes (use a drill) for air and a hole at thebottom fordrainage.If you buy a second bin to sit the first bin into, you can have a placeforthem oisture todrain into.

Your bin should be 10 to 16 inches deep and have a snugfitting lid. Choose a place for your bin that does not get too hot or too cold so your worms arecomfortableand happy.

Your worms should be red wigglers, not nightcrawlers or earthworms.

Sonora Knolls residents spruce up neighborhood The Sonora Knolls neighborhood now sports a fresh new sign at its Springhill Drive entrance, off Snell Street in Sonora, thanks to a community effort by its residents.

On April 8, when the newly designed and painted sign was ready, volunteers Juan Vasquez and Rollin Winslow removed the old sign and hung and secured the new. The fresh new sign is the beginning of the neighborhood's continued refurbishing, according to resident Barbara Winslow.

The project began on Jan. 11, when neighbors gathered for the fourth Community Building Meeting with City Manager Tim Miller at the Arbona Circle home of Barbara and Rollin Winslow.

One of the main topics was the desire to repaint the Sonora Knolls entrance sign and brick wall running the length of Springhill, Winslow said.

Sonora Knolls residents (from left) Nakeita Winslow, Justine Abbott, Barbara Winslow, Becky Chimenti and Nancy Abbott paint a new sign for the neighborhood.

In March, a subcommittee of volunteers met to survey the sign, which they found tooold and deteriorated to repair. So they purchased a new 4-by-

8-footboard, treated and painted it with heavy-duty base coat, and met again the following Sunday to discuss design of the

Sonora Knolls logo.

Teenagers to retirees showed up, including Nancy Abbott, Kennedi Ashton, Becky Chimenti, Barbara Winslow, Nakeita Winslow, and graphic designer Jenn David Connolly, Winslow said.

Connolly designed a template, and then the group agreed on a three-color combination — gold, green and purple.

On March 29, the first of two sign-painting project parties was held in Connolly's garage.

It was reminiscent of an old-time sewing bee, Winslow said.

Each of six neighbors worked on a section of the sign, painting the delicate design and words in gold, green and purple.

Sierra Livin DEER Poly Deer Fencing and looks similarto orange construction netting, but with smaller holes.

"It's lighter weight and less expensive than steel fencing,"

Cadottesaid."The deer see it and don't try to go through it."

"For years, I had just a 4-foot-high fence," Cadotte said. 'Then the dogs got old and the deer got wise, and that didn't work anymore, when the deer realized the dogs were sleeping."

"The way I discovered the deer had gotten wise to the dogs was when I had eight or 10 headsof romaine lettuce and thought, 'they are just about ready to pick,' and I came out the next day and they were gone," Cadotte said.

To hang t h e n e t ting, Cadotte said he used wooden postsin corners and attached the it with a staple gun.

"Along the fence line, I got 9-foot -long steel,heavy T-posts. Then I just used zip tiesto attach the netting to the posts," Cadotte said. "The difficulty is, with the 9-footposts, I had to stand on a ladder to pound them in."

This method saves money and "you don't have to have as strong ofa structure to support it," Cadotte said.

According to t h e I n t egrated Pest M anagement program, deer normally will not jump a 6-foot fence but, if chased or threatened, they can clear an 8-foot fence on level ground. Because of this ability, a 7- or 8-foot fence is recommended, especially in the Sierra Nevada mountain areas where larger deer are found.

On sloping ground, people may need to build fences 10- or 11-feet high to guard against deer jumping down slope.

Deer will c r awl u nder or through a fence if they can, so fences should be secured close to the ground, and and breaks should be repaired. An extra strand of wire stretched along the ground of a c onventional fencewillhelp prevent deer

den immediately. Your bin is usually ready to change about every six months, when you notice the bedding has turned to crumbly, brown compost.

Your worms, with a little care, will be recycling superworms! They will help use your kitchen scraps and turn them into rich, beautiful plant food. Less in the landfill and more in your pocket book — what a combination!

government looks at a controversial class of chemicals.

But in the study published by the journal Nature on Wednesday, honeybees — which get trucked from placeto place to pollinate major crops like almonds — didn't show the significant ill effects that wild cousins like bumblebees did. This is a finding some experts found surprising. A second study published in the same journal showed that in lab tests beesarenot repelled by the pesticides and in fact may even prefer pesticide coated crops, making the problem worse.

Bees of all kinds — crucial to pollinating plants, including major a gricultural crops — have been in declinefor several reasons.

Pesticide problems are just one of many problems facing pollinators; this is separate from colony collapse disorder, which devastated honeybee populations in re-

cent years but is now abating, experts said.

Exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides reduced the density of wild bees, resulted in less reproduction, and colonies that didn't grow when compared to bees not exposed to the pesticide, the study found.

study that was in the wild, but still had the in-the-lab qualities of having control groups that r e searchers covet. They used 16 patches of landscape, eight where canola seeds were coated with the pesticide and eight where they weren't, and compared the two areas.

In areas treated with the pesticide, therewere halfas many wild bees per square meter than there were in areas not treated, Rundlof said. In the pesticide patches, bumblebee colonies had "almost no weight gain" compared to the normal colonies that gained about a pound, she said.

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 Ouniondemocrat.com

aren a a iena ion arms w o e ami DEARANNK: I am Bo Bad watching the devastating effect that parental alienation is having on my grandchildren, and I feel powerless to help them.

My daughter is the target of an exhusband who is determined to turn their children against their mother.

My 13-year-oldgranddaughter at tempted suicide last week and went to afacility for several days. She is now getting therapy, but I don't know whether the truth will come out about what is going on in this very messed up family relationship.

I feel like asking my ex-son-in-law whether he loves his children more than he hates his ex-wife so he will realize who is being hurt most by his actions. My daughter went to counseling forayearbeforeleavingher husband, and the counselor said her husband is very insidious with a narcissistic personality. She left him because he was controlling and emotionally abusive.

She was supposed to have custody

i Annie's ) Mailbox "+~> of the children, but her ex convinced the children that they did not want to leave their neighborhood, school and friends. My daughter did not Gght it because it was what the children were encouraged to choose.

She also knows her ex-husband would use the children to hurt her.

When she recently went to sign the final divorcepapers,he said thatifshetries to change the custody arrangement, she will never see her children again.

Is there any recourse for this kind of behavior? My daughter cannot afford to fight this in court, and we do not have the resources to help, either.

— SAD GRANDMOTHER DEAR SAD: Parental alienation is very real and can happen to either parent. It can cause the

ehildren tremendous psyehological hann that can last a lifetime if not addressed. Your tIaughter needs todocumeat every instance where her ex has kept the children from her,encouraged the ehildren to think ill of her, spoken negatively about her in front of the ehildren or threatened her access to the children.

At the same time, she should aot become angry around her ex, because he will use it against her.

We know it can be expensive to keep fighting in court, but this is a form of emotioaalabuse, and she needs toprotect her kids as best sheean before the damage is permanent. At the very least, suggest that she consult with an attorney who specializes in parental alienation cases.

DEAR AMVIE: "Pregnant" may feelhuge, may even be huge,but she reallydoesn't need to be constantly reminded of it. Fiky years ago, to-

ward theend of my fi rst pregnancy, I mentioned to my OB that I was as "big as a house." His reply has stayed with me ever since. He said, "No, you are magnificent with child." The more I thought about it the more I realized he was right. God bless him.

Over the years, I've told many magnificent pregnant ladies that pearlof wisdom.— NOW PM OLDER AND WISER DEAR OLDER AND WISER: While your OB's response is much kinder than telling a pregnant woman she is huge, we see no reason to comment on a woman's size under any circumstances. It tends to provoke a negative reaction even with the best of intentions.

Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Post-surgery heart medications are relevant DEAR DR ROACH: I just celebrated the one-year anniversary of my heart valve replacement surgery. The operationconsisted ofreplacing my bicuspid aortic valve with a bovine valve.

All went swimmingly, and I was back to work in two weeks. I recently ran a

5-mile road race.

My problem is with my medications.

I am 55 years old and do not like taking pills. My cardiologist prescribed a daily 25-mg metoprolol tablet, along with a baby aspirin. I skip the pills occasionally, without noticeable side effects, and often go to my checkups with a false report of either saying I am taking the pills when I actually have skipped a few days, or saying I'm off the meds when I actually was taking them. Each time, the cardiologistsaysIneed togetback on or stay on the pills.

Are these pills just a placebo? Is my doctor in the back pocket of the pharmaceutical companies? Or is he just afraid oflawsuits? Thanks.— J.D. ANSWER Medical care after valve replacement includes reducing the risk of blood clots, assessing function of

To Your Pq Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. the valve and preventing endocarditis (valve infection). The aspirin you are taking is standard for a bioprosthetic valve (if you had a mechanical valve, you wouldneed warfarin).Your cardiologist will do an exam and probably obtain an echocardiogram to look at valve function. Hopefully he has spoken with you about taking antibiotics appropriatelybefore high-risk procedures in order to prevent your valve from getting

infected.

Metoprolol, a beta blocker, has many roles in cardiology, but I don't have enough information about you to say exactly why you are on it. It could be that your blood pressure is higher than he'd like, or it may be that the leit ventricle of your heart is thick or stifF due to working hard against a bicuspid valve

for 54 years. It may be some other reason I don't know.

What I can say is that your doctor is prescribing metoprolol for your benefit, and not for the benefit of pharmaceuticalcompanies.It is against our ethics and illegal to receive any kind of compensation for prescribing a particular medication, and metoprolol is a very inexpensive medication. It is a powerful medicine. Even at the low dose you are taking, it has significant efFects on heartand blood vesselphysiology,and it may have beneficial eQects on your heart rhythm.

I would strongly recommend that you be completely honest with your cardiologist about how often you are taking the medication, and you should find out exactly why he recommends you take it. I even would have him tell you, in detail, about the consequences of not taking it.

It's yourbody and yourdecision whether to take the recommended treatment, but you should know the consequences of not doing so.

Finally, all doctors are at least a little afraidoflawsuits.Thatfearisharm ful,

Todayin history Today is Saturday, April 25, the 115th day of 2015.

There are 250 days left in the year.

Today's Highlights in History: On April 25, 1945, during World War II, U.S. and Soviet forces linked up on the Elbe (EL'-beh) River, a meeting that dramatized the collapse of Nazi Germany's defenses.

Delegates from some 50 countries gathered in San Francisco to organize the United Nations.

On this date: In 1792, highwayman Nicolas Jacques Pelletier became the first person under French law to be executed by the guillotine.

In 1944, the United Negro College Fund was founded.

In 1959, the St. Lawrence Seaway opened to shipping.

In 1983, 10-year-old Samantha Smith of Manchester, Maine, received a reply from Soviet leader Yuri V. Andropov to a letter she'd written expressing concern about possible nuclear war; Andropov reassured Samantha that the Soviet Union did not want war, and he invited her to visit his country, a trip Samantha made in July.

In 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was deployed in orbit from the space shuttle Discovery.

(It was discovered that the telescope's primary mirror was flawed, requiring the installation of corrective components toachieve optimal focus.) Violeta Barrios de Chamorro was inaugurated as president of Nicaragua, ending eleven years of leftist Sandinista rule.

In 1995, show business legend Ginger Rogers died in Rancho Mirage, California, at age 83.

IIHI IIII you find it. Gather in the abundance. You're very lucky now. You experience a philosophical shift or spiritual insight. Followthrough on your partner's imaginative ideas.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today is an 8 — Make a glorious mess. Transcend the ordinary. Friends are easy to find. Together, create something of beauty (and mutual profit). Move in time with your heartbeat. Music and dancing could be in order. You're looking exceptionally good. Party!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today is an 8 — You're especially attractive and persuasive now. Advance to the next professional level. You have what you need.

An interesting suggestion kindles into an investigation.

Someone influential watches. Ignore that and focus on a solution. Find joy in your work.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is an 8 — A lucky turn in the road reveals a pleasant surprise. You can find whatever you need. Keep digging for the clue. Fix something before it breaks. Charm your way through a maze.

Passions spark. Bring your discovery home.

Capricorn (Dec. 224an. 19): Today is an 8 — Good fortune smiles on your shared finances. Ask interesting questions. Turn a good idea into cash. Your partner has a brilliant idea. Friends are there for you. You're gaining confidence. You can see for miles and miles.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is an 8 — Find a treasure hidden in plain sight. You have more than you realize. Someone finds you quite attractive. The feeling is mutual. Insight comes from contemplation. A breakthrough moment in your partnership sweeps you off your feet.

Martina Navratilova said, "Whoever said, 'It's East not whether you win or lose that counts,' probably lost."

4 Q J5 2 4 AK 9 3 True, but a bridge player who counts is much V 76 VQJ more likely to win than lose.

I A107 I JII32 This week we have been looking at deals in 4Q 73 which a defender has had to work out declarer's South hand distribution. Here is one more example.

4 106 Coverthe South and Easthands.South opens 'T A K1 0 9 8 5 4 and closes the auction with his three-heart bid. You I Q4 leadthespade queen.When partnerencourages +96 with the nine, you continue with the spade two, which announces an initial four-card holding.

Dealer: South Partner wins with his king and shifts to the diaVulnerable: North-South mond two. When declarer plays low, you win with South West N orth E a st your ace and return the diamond 10 (high from a 3% Pas s P a s s Pa s s remaining doubleton). South wins with his queen and immediately leads the club nine. Do you win Openinglead:4 Q or duck?

South has a textbook pre-empt at unfavorable vulnerability: a good seven-card suit and 6-10 highcard points. You were close to s takeout double, and East might have balanced with a double. But if one of you had doubled, the other would have jumped to four spades, taking your side out of its depth. Against a pre-empt, sometimes it is impossible to get into the auction and stop in time.

You must assume that East would have cashed a third spade trick if it were available. Also, East's diamond-two switch indicated a four-card suit. So South began with two spades, two diamonds and seven hearts. He must also have two clubs — play low smoothly. Yes, this risks conceding an overtrick, but it is your only chance to defeat the contract.

The apparent low bidder contractor, and all its subcontractors, shall be required to attend a mandato Pre-Construction Conference to be held on June 3 2015 at 1:00 .m., in the City Council Chambers, Sonora City Hall, 94 N.

No bid will be accepted from a Contractor who is not licensed in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 9 of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code or on the Federal Debarred List.

This project is a "public works" project under Section 1720 of California Labor Code and the provisions of Section 1720 through 1861 of the California Labor Code shall apply. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR).

All contractors and subcontractors who bid or work on this project must be currently registered with the DIR under Section 1725.5 of the California Labor Code, and will be required to furnish electronic certified payroll records to the Labor Commissioner (aka Division of Labor Standards Enforcement) as required by the Labor Commissioner under Section 1776 of the California Labor Code.

In accordance with the provisions of Sections 1770 to 1780 of the Labor Code, the Director of Industrial Relations, State of California, has determined that general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the locality in which the work is required to be performed for each type of worker or mechanic required to execute the contract. Copies of the prevailing wage rate of per diem wages are included in Attachment A to the Project Specifications. Those prevailing wages are hereby incorporated in this agreement and made a part hereof. A copy of the applicable prevailing wage rates shall be posted at each job site. The Contractor to whom the contract is awarded, and any subcontractor under it, shall pay not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages to all workers in execution of the contract.

The funding for the subject project is from Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate and other requirements contained within Attachment A and B of the Proposal Requirements. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate.

The Department will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes "helper" (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage determinations otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question. All certified payrolls must be submitted to the City of Sonora within seven days of the end of the payroll period.

Prevailing wages must be paid to all owner/operators as evidenced by certified payrolls. Only owner/operators with employees on the job may submit their own payrolls. All other owner/operators must be carried on the payroll of the prime contractor. Truck drivers, including some suppliers, may also be subject to prevailing wage provisions.

The particular attention of bidders is directed to the provisions of Section III, Subsection 14 (Fair Employment Practices) of the Proposal Requirements which concerns affirmative action requirements pursuant to the Fair Employment and Housing Act under Sections 12900-12996 of the California Government Code. The City of Sonora is an equal opportunity employer.

Calaveras sweeps doubleheader

Sharks owner SAN JOSE (AP)San Jose Sharks owner Hasso Plattner remains behind general manager Doug Wilson's rebuilding plan despite the team missing the playoffs for the first time since 2003.

In a letter to Sharks fans posted on the team's website Thursday night, Plattner praised Wilson's leadership of the team over the past year. While Plattner did not specifically say Wilson would return as general manager, a person with knowledge of his plans said on condition of anonymity that Wilson's job is safe.

Plattner said that three trips to the conference finals during a 10-year playoff run was not enough, especially because the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks have combined for three Stanley Cup championships in that span.

Conley and backup Beno Udrih are averaging 32 points between them, Lee shot 8 of 11 in Game 2, and that's been too much for Portland to handle.

"It's a lot of fun. Those guys are capable of big numbers every night. They were able to make some plays and get everyone else involvei."

That's supposed to be Damian Lillard's job for Portland, but the All-Star point guard isjust 10 for 37 (27 percent) thus far, missing 10 of his 11 3-point attempts.

"They played really well on their home fioor and they took care of home, which is what their goal was to do: Win two games at home," Lillard said.

By CARL STEWARD The Monterey County Herald

Darting here and there ...

— Stephen Curry's alleged 77 consecutive3-pointers in practicedon't come close to matching that nuclear bomb from the corner in Game 3.

That just might have been Curry's most breathtaking basket ever.

— Think about it ... time running down, helter-skelter, off-balance, fans screaming, defenders flying at him (and pretty clearly fouling him) and he still bottomed it. Forget MVP. Those are the kind of shots that get you in the Hall of Fame.

Heston has rough start at Coors Field in Giants' loss DENVER (AP) — Chris Heston discovered pitching at Coors Field is a lot different than AT&T Park. Or anywhere else in the National League.

Heston came into Denver sporting an 0.87 ERA, but 5 V3 tough innings Friday night brought him back to Earth in the San Francisco Giants' 6-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies.

Heston (2-2) entered the game having allowed five runs — two earned — and 15 hits in three starts but he was hit hard by the Rockies' powerful offense.

"A lot of balls were up," the rookie said. "Sinker was up tonight and the breaking balls were up. They made me pay when I left them up there."

Justin Maxwell hit a two-

Coloradobeat the defending World Series champions for a fourth straight time this season. The Rockies swept a three-game series last week in which they limited the Giants to three runs. San Fran-

cisco matched that total by the third inning.

Starter Eddie Butler (2-1) labored most of the way with only one clean inning. He allowed four runs, but worked his way out of trouble thanks to some nifty fielding, especially from third baseman Nolan Arenado and Blackmon in center field.

Heston gave up six runs in his first appearance at hitterrun homer to continue his re- friendly Coors Field, raising cent hot stretch and Brandon his ERA to 2.77.

Belt col lected three hits for "He had some good stuffhe off a three-game sweep of the Dodgers.

The Giants were able to bang out 11 hits against five Colorado pitchers but they were victimized by four double plays that killed rallies throughout the game.

"I thought we had some good at-bats but double plays hurt us," manager Bruce Bo-

chy said. "This is a park you like to take advantage of first

the plate," Bochy said. "It's the first time he's pitched here and he'll learn from this.

Overall he did all right."

Heston gave up three doubles in the sixth, the last by Rafael Ynoa that gave the Rockies a 5-4 lead and chased the right-hander. Corey Dickerson added an RBI single.

Colorado's bullpen made the lead hold up — with some anxious moments. Boone

Logan struck out Brandon C rawford looking t o e n d the eighth with a runner on third. Bochy argued the call and was ejected afier a few words with plate umpire John Tumpane.

"Crawford,I don't blame him," Bochy said. "He was frustrated.I didn't see that pitch called all night. It's a big at-bat. We're trying to get back in the game."

Adam Ottavino pitched the ninth for his third save.

A renado turned in t w o m ore s ensational p l a ys against the Giants. The Gold Gloverranged far to his left to snare a chopper in the seventh, spun around and threw out Gregor Blanco.

In the fourth, Arenado dived tohis right to stop a grounder with r u n ners on

first and second and no outs.

He scrambled to his feet, stepped on third base and fired to first to get Casey McGehee by a step.

It neutralized a potential big inning.

Maxwell hit a t w o -run homer in the second to put San Francisco ahead 2-0. The Giants took leads of 3-2 and 4-3 in the third and fifth innings, respectively, but Heston and the bullpen couldn't hold them.
