DUI mock arrest

Three injured in weekend wrecks

Summerville High School students participated in a mock arrest and lunchtime rally to illustrate the consequences of underage drinking Friday. California Highway Patrol vehicles and officers visited the campus, facetiously arresting high schoolstudents and demonstrating roadside DUI tests. Officers followed the demonstration with brief speeches. The event was organized by Tuolumne County Friday Night Live. Other event supporters included the Amador-Tuolumne Community Action Agency, and Shary Trent, parent of a youth hit by a drunk driver.

Three people were injured Sunday in a w r eck near Twain Harte, while the driver in a single-vehicle accident on Saturday walked away uninjured. The first wreck occurred about 1:20 p.m. Saturday on Phoenix Lake Road. Julie Tidball, 53, of Sonora, was driving a 2001 Ford Focus east just west of Belleview Creek Road about 30 mph when she approached a right-hand curve in the road, said California Highway Pa-

stantive CEQA reform discussions for the past few years. To ignore it when crafting so-called solutions is an insult to the hard working folks trying to get through a process that is totally broken. Tinkering around the edges ofrealreform isnotreform. Support for exemptions is an acknowledgement that the environmental review process is broken. So, while the legislature gladly issues exemptions for stadiums, I question what it does for the mom and pop projects languishing in CEQA limbo for years. Clearly, after today's vote, there is no relief in sight for Main Street. Anything we can do to for businesses and to build jobs is a good thing and we should be doing it. SB 389 does not pretend to be the cure-all for every CEQA issue,butitdoesgetattheheartoftheproblem — projects which are delayed or derailed for reasons other than environmental issues. It does not circumvent CEQA or weaken the environmental protections but merely streamlines the CEQA review process, eliminating duplicative review and avenues for frivolous lawsuits. Most importantly SB 389 will provide jobs by getting projects moving more quickly.

Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Granite Bay, gave the following speech Thursday in Congress, the day the House approved the 2016 Budget Conference Agreement, which, among oth-

er things, would cut the federal deficit in 10 years, repeal the Affordable Care Act, and bolster Medicare and Social

Security, according to House Republicans. Mr. Speaker: With this vote, our nation is about to take its first step away from financial ruin and toward fiscal solvency and prosperity. Our nation's debt has literally doubled in eight years, now exceeding the size of our entire economy. That debt requires us to make interest payments of $230 billion this year — nearly $2,000 from an averagefamily's

MCChIItoqk

taxes — justto rent the money we' ve already spent. On our current path, that burden will triple within the decade, eclipsing our entire defense budget. Medicare and Social Security will collapse just a few years after that. Time is not our ally and the future is not a pleasant place if we continue just a few more years down the road we' ve been on.

THAT's why this budget is so important. It changes the fiscal course of our nation, slowly pointing us back toward solvency and prosperity.It restores congressional over-

sight of an abusive federal bureaucracy. It redeems our healthcare system from the nightmare of Obamacare. It rescuesMedicare from collapse.It adopts the time-tested pro-growth policies that produced the Reagan economic recovery and the unprecedented prosperity of the 1980's. And if we can implement this budget, in ten years deficits will turn to surpluses we can begin paying down this ruinous debt at a pace that assures students now in college willretireinto aprosperous,secure and debt-freeAmerica. It's not perfect and it is not complete. Ahead of us are many months of legislating to build the governmental streamliningand reforms that itcalls for.

But if we can set this course and stay this course, one day inthe very near future a new generation can know just how wonderful it is to awaken and realize that it is morning again in America.

The drumbeat from Republican politicians,governors ofstateslikeTexas and Florida and &om independent relocation consultants seems constant: California's business climate stinks; high taxes and heavy regulationare driving businesses and jobsoutofthis state. These folks note that companies big and small, from Toyota and Nissan to Buck Knives, have announced they are m oving corporate offices out of California to low-tax, low-regulation, low-wage states. They also harp on the fact that more

Many of the letters were in back issues lost to fires, but Twain scholars picked through archives of other Western U.S. newspapers for copies.

In one letter, Twain gives detailed dialogue between two goldspeculatorstrapped in a shaft, clinging to rope tied to an old horse named Cotton.

"Johnny, I' ve not lived as I ought to have lived. D-n that infernal horse!" Twain reported one man saying to the other. "Johnny, if we are saved I mean to be a good man and a Christian." It's unclear how Twain acquired that level of detail. Hirst said the story is likely based on some facts.

Each member voted for his or her top five recommendations after discussing more than a dozen possible strategies at Friday's meeting. The votes were tallied over the weekend and releasedMonday afternoon. In order, the five recommendations that received the most support were: • Improving the ditch system to increase efficiency. • Reducing water loss within the piped systems.

By AUSTEN THIBAULT The Union Democrat

The Angels Camp City Council tonight will hear a "State of the City" report by the city administrator and vote toadopt the city's 201419 Housing Element for its General Plan. C ity Administrator M i chael McHatten will give the "State of the City" presentation, which last year detailed police and fire service, and will discuss the budget in a third-quarter update. McHatten isexpected to say the budget is generally on track, but does include an operatingloss.Heis expected to mandate that any expenses paid out of the general fund be for health and safety for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends June 30. Planning Director David Hanham has submitted the city's 2014-19 Housing Element for adoption by the council tonight. As many as 161 housing unitswillneed tobe added to the city by 2019 for growth, according to the plan. Of those, the majority would be in the"moderate" and "above moderate" income categories.Moderate income is defined as between$50,400 and $75,600, and above moderate is anything higher.

• Making thewooden fiume from the M ain Canal out of Lyons Reservoir more reliable. • Constructing new o6'-stream storage. • Reviewing all existing reservoirs to increase capacity. The ditch system, constructed largely by Gold Rush-era miners in the 1850s for the purpose of delivering water to gold-mining camps, losesroughly a third ofallwater thatpasses through to leaks, evaporation and seepage into the ground, according to past TUD studies. Reducing the losses by about 15 percent would stretch Tuolumne County's existing water supplies for another roughly 30 years, TUD General Manager Tom Scesa said. 'This is a no-brainer," said Jon Sturtevant of the Sierra Club. "If you were carrying a bucket of water where a third of it leaks out before you could water your plants, you would get tired of that ... This could solve a lot of problems." Another recommendation made by the coalition is to reduce water loss in the piped system. Ways that were discussed by the council to reduce losses in the piped system included repairing leaky pipes, replacing aging water tanks and installing electronic meters for roughly 70 percent of TUD customers who are still fitted with less-accurate manual ones. However, Scesa said the proposed budget for TUD's next fiscal year currently has no money set aside for water-system improvements due to a potential $200,000 deficit I'rom significantly reduced water usage by district customers during the past year of drought.

The median annual income for a family of four in Angels Camp is $70,000,according to the state's housing numbers from 2012. One of the most noteworthy housing trends from the 2010 census, Hanham noted, was that the number of people living alone is increasing — particularly seniors. In 2010, 29.7 percent of people surveyed in the city were living alone. Of those, 51.5 percent are 65 or older, up more than 10 percent from the 2000 census. This may mean more small housing units should be built, Hanham said. The council on Tuesday will also: • Vote to finalize an ordinance amendment givinga break to intermittent vendors — like at the farmer's market — on their city business fees. • Introduce an ordinance amendment giving breaks to those seeking to install solar power on their roofs. • Hear a report on the effectsof the recently-passed P roposition 47 — w h i ch reduced many crimes from

liams noted that Vision Sonora Committee meetings are open to the public, and the next one is scheduled for 9 a.m. May 28 at City Hall. Elena Linehan,an opponent of the plan who has voiced her concerns regularly at recent council meetings, was told she was not allowed to make any comments after Dambacher. City Administrator Tim Miller said public comments were "not appropriate" duringtime set aside for citizens who requested to appear and speak about a certain topic. However, public comments in favor of "Vision Sonora" were allowed at the April 20 council meeting when Parsons had requested time to appear and present his petition against the plan. City Attorney Byron Smith told Linehan after the meeting that there's a "gray area" in the Ralph M. Brown Act — the law governing public meetings in California — regarding whether the council is required to allow the public to comment on agenda items in which the council isn' t scheduled to take action. Also at Monday's meeting, the council: • Appointed Darren Eaton to the Sonora Planning Commission to replace Commissioner John Andersen, who retires at the end of June.

This is a grilled recipe that never goes out of style. Old Bay seasoning is the secret ingredient here. It works magic on many foods but is particularly delicious on seafood. Make sure to use 13- to 15-per-pound count shrimp that have been peeled and deveined with the tail left on. (This makes a pretty presentation, and they also fit nicely on skewers.) You can buy the shrimp with the shell on and follow the recipe, but make sure to have a bowl for the shells and plenty of napkins since it is a

food '=~ Mexican Sea and Scallion Brochettes with Man oAvocadoSalsa 1 1/2 pounds peeled and cleaned large shrimp, 6- to 8-count if possible 1 1/2 pound medium to large sea scallops, 10-to 20-count 12 scallions, light green and white part only Warm corn tortillas, to accompany

bit messy. Shrimp is best when cooked until just opaque. A good way to tell when they are cooked through is when the shrimp become bright orange on both sides. Skewers have changed in the last few years. Flat skewers make all the difference because they won' t turn the food, which makes it easier to cook everything evenly. Make sure to soak them for an hour before using. Look for 9- or 10-inch length bamboo or stainless steel skewers. You can find them at your local cookware store or on line. Serve some vegetable rice, cooked black beans or corn on the cob as a side dish. Choose your favoritebeer or a big batch ofmargaritas to get the party going.

3. To prepare the marinade, whisk together the lime juice, tequila, garlic, shallots, cumin, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper. Slowly add the olive oil, whisking until combined. Taste for seasoning. Pour over the seafood and marinate for at least 1/2 and up to 4 hours. 4. Prepare the barbecue for medium-high-heat grilling. 5. Grill the shrimp on each side for about 4 minutes or to desired doneness. Remove from the grill and take the shrimp off the skewers. Garnish with the limes. Serve with the mango avocado salsa. Serve immediately. Advance Preparation: This may be prepared 4 hours in advance through step 3 and refrigerated.

For the marinade:

Man o Avocado Salsa

1/4 cup fresh lime juice 1/4 cup tequila 2 medium garlic cloves, minced 2 medium shallots, finely chopped 2 teaspoons cumin 1/2teaspoon chipotleTabasco sauce Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/3 cup olive oil

1 mango, peeled, seeded and diced 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and diced 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely

chopped (seenote) 1 shallot, finely chopped 2 tablespoons finely chopped mint 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice Salt

To garnish: Sliced limes Mango avocado salsa (see below)

1. Combine all ingredients in medium mixing bowl. Taste for seasoning. 2. Refrigerate covered until ready to serve. For a variation, canned jalapenos may be used 1. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in cold if fresh are not available. water for at least 1 hour. This will prevent them from burning when grilled. Diane Rossen Worthington is an authority on 2.

Can you hear the panting? It's the local restaurant owners looking forward to their busiest day of the year — Mother's Day. Most kids take Mom out for breakfast, lunch or dinner on this special day. It's probably a relief for her not to cook on a holiday, like she usually does. The "down side" for Mom is that all she gets to take home to eat is in the doggie bag. Why not surprise her with some homemade treats that she can have whenever she wants? And, instead of going out and dealing with the crowds, why not also have Mom over for a fancy French brunch? Here is my version of a Monte Cristo sandwich (French toast sandwich stuffed with ham and cheese). You can prepare these ahead of time and pop them in the oven. Serve them up with a &nit salad and — voila! — you' ll have a bon appetit. I cook a lot of French food for Old What' s His Name (he's part French, and part twerpy) — but he does do the dishes.

Cro ue Madame Servings: 4 Preparation time: 30 minutes 8 slices sourdough French bread (sandwich size) 4 tablespoons honey Dijon mustard 4 slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese slices 4 ounces extra lean ham, thinly sliced Butter-flavored pan spray, as needed 1 cup liquid egg substitute or 4 large eggs, beaten 1/2 cup 2 percent milk

Powderedsugar,for garnish

1/2 cup raspberry jam, warmed Spread each slice of bread with mustard. Place one slice of the cheese on each of four slices of bread, cutting cheese to fit and cover bread. Layer evenly with a slic e of ham, then any cheese you cut off, and top with the remaining bread slices. Mix the egg substitute and milk together in a shallow dish or non-reactivepan. Place sandwiches in pan and let soak for several minutes, then turn over. Can be made up to 8 hours ahead or overnight (cover and refrigerate until ready to proceed). Spray a nonstick pan large enough to two sandwiches with butter-flavored pan spray (or regular pan spray) and heat to medium-high. Add sandwiches. Do not crowd. Cook approximately 3 minutes or until bottom is golden brown. Turn over and cook until other side is brown as well. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Cut sandwiches in half, if desired, place on dish, sprinkle w ithpowdered sugar and passjam asan accompaniment. To bake — Spray a baking sheet with pan spray. Preheat oven to 425. Prepare sandwiches and dip, as directed, in egg batter. Place on baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until bottom is golden. Turn over and bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes until top is golden. For convection oven, preheat to 400 degrees and bake 6 to 8 minutes, then turn and bake an additional 6 to 8 minutes See JUDE/Page B6

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.corn

Today's Highlights in History: On May 5, 1945, in the only fatal attack of its kind during World War II, a Japanese balloon bomb exploded on Gearhart Mountain in Oregon, killing Elsie Mitchell, the 26-yearold pregnant wife of a minister, and five children: Dick Patzke, 14; Jay Gifford, 13; Edward Engen, 13; Joan Patzke, 13; and Sherman Shoemaker, 11. Denmark and the Netherlands were liberated as a German surrender went into effect. On this date: In 1865, what's believed to be America's first train robbery took place as a band of criminals derailed a St. Louis-bound train near North Bend, Ohio; they proceeded to rob the passengers and loot safes on board before getting away. In 1934, the first Three Stooges short for Columbia Pictures, "Woman Haters," was released. In 1961, astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. became America's first space traveler as he made a 15-minute suborbital flight aboard Mercury capsule Freedom 7. In 1973, Secretariat won the Kentucky Derby, the first of its Triple Crown victories. In 1981, Irish Republican Army hunger-striker Bobby Sands died atthe Maze Prison in Northern Ireland in his 66th day without food. In 1985, President Ronald Reagan kept a controversial promise to West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl by leading a wreath-laying ceremony at the military cemetery in Bitburg.

WINE Continued from Page Bl in agreement on awarding it gold. "The biggest surprise of the day was that three Chardonnays got gold medals," was an observation from longtime judge and wine writer Mike Dunn, of Sacramento.uChardonnay isn't supposed to do well in the foothills, so this showing is cause for a rethinking of thatperspective." Ironstone did particularly well this year, having picked up numerous gold medals including a double-gold for its Viognier. Best of Show White actually went to a Rose, the 2014 Lavender Ridge Grenache Rose, which edged out the Milliaire 2014 Pinot Grigio for that top honor. Other big local white winners included double-gold for Black Sheep Lily Pad White, while golds went to Milliaire Winery 2014 Gewurztraminer and 2014 White Zinfandel, and Ironstone's 2013 Symphony. The most popular red wine class is Red Zinfandel, with 36 entries this year. Part of the judging involves the "Zin Shootout," in which five panels of three judges each split up the selection of Zinfandels, and each of thefavorites is then pitted against each other and tasted by a sixth panel to determine the overall winner. Top Zin honors went to the 2011 Amador Cellars Zinfandel, while nearby Locke Winery 2011 came in second. Both were doublegolds. This year saw just a handful of Zins awarded gold medals. Usually a strong category, several panels commented on the fall offfrom lastyear. A particularly strong category, and one gaining attention throughout California, is a category labeled "Other Generic Reds." The explosion in popularity of wine blends and wineries doing more of it is evident in the growing number of entries in the competition.

Hahn, frustrated A's lose to Twins MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Star Wars promotion in Minnesota brought more forces going against the Oakland Athletics. Torii Hunter's threerun homer broke a sixth-inning tie, giving Phil Hughes his first win and the streaking Twins an 8-7 victory over the A's on Monday. The A' s, off to their worst start in six years, lost for the eighth time in 11 games. They' re already 7 1/2 games behind first-place Houston in the AL West. Jesse Hahn (1-2) quickly lost the 4-0 lead the A's handed him in the first inning and failed to finish the sixth for the fourth straight start. Hahn was the fifth A' s starter in the last nine games to finish only five innings or fewer.

It is very special and they played not just well individually, but collectively as a team, they did fantastic." After Kiriluk's 75, freshman Hank Kolpack shot an 86, and Sam Mays, Bradley Fulkerson, and Tyler Hammond all carded an 87. "I couldn'tbe prouder of these guys," Lee said. "For all of them to shoot in the 80's was great. It was not a high-school friendly course, with lots of hills and the balls run sideways. They didn't let any of that get to them, and they just played outstanding." The win not only gives the Wildcats a blue banner to hang in Bud Castle Gym, but also ensures another week of golf.

BRIEFS S. Williams rips Stephens in Madrid

Bumgarner beats Padres,

MADRID (AP) — Serena Williams needed just 58 minutes to beat fellow American Sloane Stephens 6-4, 6-0 Monday and reach the third round of the Madrid Open. The top-ranked Williams broke Stephens four times and saved both break pointsshe faced to secure her 25th straight win. She will next face the winner between Victoria Azarenka and Ajla Tomljanovic. Williams remained undefeated in 2015, with her last loss coming in roundrobin play at last year' s WTA finals. Earlier, Caroline Wozniacki powered past Christina McHale of the United States 7-5, 6-0 Monday to reach the third round of the Madrid Open.

Giants get 4th straight win

49ers' Miller charged with vandalism SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco 49ers fullback Bruce Miller has been charged with misdemeanor vandalism after he was investigated in a domestic case stemming from an argument with his girlfriend that led to his arrest March 5. The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office announced its fi n dings Monday. The district attorney says that "while original reports indicated that Miller may have pushed his girlfriend from his parked car, an investigation into the alleged assault was inconclusive." Miller, 27, has been away from the 49ers during the ofFseason workout program at team headquarters in

Santa Clara. He received a three-yearcontract exten-

sion last year, and had been engaged to be married. Jim Demertzis said the prosecution intends to ask the court that Miller undergothe type ofcounseling that will make an incident like this less likely to occur in the future.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)Madison Bumgarner refuses to talk about the notion of getting on a roll. It's not the way he operates, and his way has worked out pretty well so far. Still, beating Clayton Kershaw and Tyson Ross in consecutive outings and shutting down two top NL lineups is a sign of some-

tlnng.

Bumgarner carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning on the way to winning back-toback startsfor the first time

this season, leading the San Francisco Giants past the San Diego Padres 2-0 on Monday night for their fourth straight "I wasn't worried about losing a no-hitter," he said. "We establis hed everything pretty early, command felt good. Everything's coming together." Bumgarner (3-1) outdueled Tyson Ross (1-3), striking out six and walking one as each starter threw 107 pitches. Bumgarner left to a standing ovation in the top of the eighth and tipped his cap as

he gave way to Sergio Rorno. The reigning World Series MVP didn't allow a hit until Justin Upton's leadoff single in the seventh just got past shortstop Brandon Crawford. A couple of minor tweaks to his mechanics have made a big difference in his results. "It'd be nice if you didn' t have to worry about this stufF, but this is a game of constant adjustments," he said. 'The body changes all the time and you' ve got to stay on top of it." Angel Pagan hit an RBI single and Justin Maxwell drew a bases-loaded walk as the Giants built Bumgarner a 2-0 cushion in the third that held up. They wasted Brandon Belt's leadoff double in the second and committed four errors.

The last time the Giants committed four errors in a shutout was June 19, 1933, against the Chicago Cubs. Houston was the last team to

in the third. Before Upton's hit, only a couple of balls were hit hard by the Padres, a fly to rightcenter by Ross to end the fifth and a flyball to left from Derek Norris in the sixth. The left-hander, who hit a pair of grand slams last year, alsoended an 0-for-11 startat the plate with a fourth-inning single. "Finally, geesh," he said.

Pacquiao could bee disciplinary action LAS VEGAS (AP)Manny Pacquiao could face disciplinary action from Nevada boxing officials for failing to disclose a shoulder injury before his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Nevada Athletic Commission chairman Francisco Aguilar said Monday that the state attorney general's office will look at why Pacquiao checked "no" a daybefore the fighton a commission questionnaire asking if he had a shoulder injury. Pacquiao could face a possible fine or suspension for not answering the question accurately on a form he filled out just before Friday's weigh-in. He would go onto lose a unanimous decision to Mayweather in the richest fightever. Pacquiao's promoter put out a statement on behalf

of the fighter late Monday afternoon saying that the injury was disclosed to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which approved the use of an anti-infiammatory shot.

In a span of 45 minutes, San Francisco added Oklahoma tight end Blake Bell with the 117th overall pick, South Carolina running back Mike Davis at No. 126 overall and Georgia Tech wide receiver DeAndre Smelter six picks later.
