The former Victorian home in the same location was originallyconstructed as a singlefamily residence in 1901 and became a rooming house in 1930. It was completely destroyed on Jan. 17, 2012, in a blaze that Sonora fire officials determined was caused by a soldering torch during plumbing repairs.

No one was injured in the blaze, but more than 10 people were displaced.

Justin and Keely Pfeiffer have owned and operated the home as a rental property since 2003. The structure previously housed 15 studioapartments before it

Union Democrat winner of Wells could be last resort seven newspaper awards for Lake Don Pedro CSD Union Democrat stag

The Union Democrat won seven first- and secondplace awards in the California Newspaper Publishers

Associatoin's 2014 Better Newspaper Contest, it was announced Saturday.

The winning entries were among roughly 4,000 entries submitted by 175 CNPAmember papers in 11 circulation divisions and 29 categories.

The Union Democrat took first-place prizes in three categories among daily papers with circulations below 15,000: • Arts & Entertainment Coverage, for The Weekender, formerly edited by Gary Linehan, who retired this year.

Second-place w i n ners were:

It was the greatest number of awards won by The Union Democrat's stafF in at least a decade.

In 2011, the paper won five BNC first and secondplace awards, five in 2012 and four in 2013.

The 2014 contest winners were announced at the CNPA Annual Convention, held this year in San Diego.

The total estimated cost of a Lake Don Pedro Community Services District emergency well project has risen to more than $2 million, up from an initial budget of $1.2 million, raising concerns for the cash-strapped, waterchallenged district.

District staffers need to develop multiple wells to ensure district customers will have water if the Lake McClure pumps stop producing later this year, said district General Manager Pete Kampa.

The distric t serves about 3,200 people in the La Grange area, and they get most of their water from pumps that float on McClure, one ofthelowest-levelreservoirsin the state.Asof Monday, McClure was holding 111,665 acrefeetofw ater,11percent ofcapacity.

M embers of the district Board ofDirectors met in closed session last week with Kampa to discuss price, terms and conditions for acquiring a piece of property with a well on it in Mariposa County.

The board instructed Kampa to continue negotiations with the property owner on the condition that any purchase ofFer be contingent on successful well-testing performance, Kampa said Saturday.

To date, testing of the well has produced results that possibly show lower water production than initially reported to the district, Kampa said. Initial tests showed the well could yield 150 gallons per minute to 200 gpm in January. More recent tests show a yield of about 75 gpm to 100 gpm. Additional testing will determine the well's final safe production.

Kampa said he could not discuss price, terms orconditions ofthesalebecause itcould jeopardize confidentiality and give the proper-

ty owner an unfair advantage in negotiations.

"One thing is for certain," Kampa said. 'We will need to develop wells three and four as well to ensure we have adequate supply to meet the indoor water demand after the Lake McClure pumps are no longer functional, estimated to be October."

State stafF working with Lake Don Pedro CSD are doing everything possible to get the district grant-funded for the wells, the need for which Kampa describes as critical.

But red tape and environmental review requirements are combining to make it difficult to ensure the district's water supply reliability, Kampa said.

"It's not the ability to plan and construct the project that is a concern, as we could have that done in less than two months," Kampa said.

"It is the federally funded grant mandates to conduct both an environmental assessment meeting both NEPA (National Environmental Protection Act) and CEQA (California Environmental Protection Act) requirements that are delaying the projects."

The district cannot get a funding commitment or start construction until it completes

the environmental review, which will extend the project completion date out six months, past the anticipated date McClure pumps can no longerdraw water,Kampa said.

"We aretrying desperately to secure more state funds that do not require the full environmental review for simple emergency wells," Kampa said. 'The state has adopted a policy to allow for emergency CEQA exemptions for drinking water projects such as this, where the federal funding programs have not."

The next Lake Don Pedro CSD board meeting is scheduled at 1 p.m. Monday at 9751 Merced Falls Road.

WA,L- PAAPT--.

The Mother Lode Roundup parade and rodeo over the weekend was a big hit, though smaller in many ways.

In the parade, nearly 160 entries made their way down Washington Street. That's fewer than the earlier reported 170, and about half the numbers that showed during the parade's salad days in the 1980s and '90s.

Crowds, too, were down.

But the weather was glorious, downtown businesses were teeming, and there was a generally more-family-friendly, less-rowdy vibe.

The numbers &om the Sonora Police Department bear this out.

In the words of Sonora Police Chief Mark Stinson, it was "extremelyquiet."

His office logged three DUIs and six public intoxication arrests. It's normally double that, Stinson said.

Too, there were only two batteries, when the average is

about five.

"There's always arrests," Stinson said.

Some credit is due the police, police volunteers, sherifFs deputies and other public safety officials whose presence certainly contributed to the low-keyness of the day.

Also, props to Tuolumne County Transit for providing very helpful shuttle service from major points.

The biggest thanks goes to the Tuolumne County SherifFs Posse, which organized the parade Saturday and the two-day professional rodeo on Saturday and Sunday at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds.

"The weather was beautiful. We had four grandstands at the rodeo," said Al O' Brien, Posse spokesman, noting all the rodeo cowboy and livestock entries made it, and there was only a single injury reported (a broken ankle).

The parade turnout, he noted, was still "two or three deep," while the number of entries hit a respectable 159.

"Everythmg went great," he said.

Theall Street has been added into the analysis and review. City staff will be reporting back to the Council once this analysis is complete.

As of today, NO streets have been approved by the Sonora City Council to be permanently closed.

The Vision Sonora Plan is a conceptual plan that is a baseline to begin the conversations and final planning project by project. The first step in any of the projects included in the Vision Sonora Plan is environmental clearance, engineering and final design before any construction can begin. As of today there are NO final plans for any of the projects in the Vision Sonora Plan.

Get involved by being part of the on going process. The Vision Sonora Committee has established four sub-committees that include Community Design, Hnance, Tourism, Marketing and Public Outreach and Transportation and Mobility. If interested in being a part of any of these committees call Rachelle Kellogg, Community Development Director at City Hall (532-6115) and let her know.

As Chair of the Vision Sonora Committee, I lookforward to yourparticipation.

The Vision Sonora Committee meets on the fourthThursday ofeach month beginning at 9 a.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall. If you have the time and would like to stay updatedthese meetings are always open to the public. If you would like to be added to the meeting email notification list give that information to Rachelle as well.

CLOSING OF STREETS in downtown Sonora has been voiced as a concern as well.

For those of you who remember, the Sonora City Council, in November 1984, decided to have a Downtown Revitalization Plan prepared. It was completed in December 1985.

At that time there were 733 public and private parking spaces in downtown Sonora and the Penny's store had moved to the Junction Shopping Center. As I read the 1985 plan, I could see that many of the same concepts were proposed by the community as are included in the December 2015 Vision Sonora Plan. The major concern behind the 1985 plan was the gradual erosion of the downtown Sonora business environment causing an 8 percent drop in sales tax revenue for the City of Sonora but

Police: 4-year-old jumps fromcar STOCKTON — A frightened 4-year-old boy escaped with cuts and scrapes after he got out of his car seat and jumped from a moving car during a carjacking, police said Monday.

The boy was waiting for his mother on Sunday inside the running car when a man got

in and fled. The boy jumped out at the end of the block.

"He was very scared," Stockton police OfIicer Joe Silva said. "He didn't know what this man was going to do to him. We could have had a tragic ending."

Silva said investigators do not believe the man intended to kidnap the boy. A suspect has not been identi6ed or ar-

rested.

The boy and his mother were visiting relatives. The mom had put him in a car seat and gone back inside to say goodbye when the man struck, Silva said.

It passed on a 76-0 vote and now goes to the Senate.

Authors fast-track vaccination bill S ACRAMENTO — T h e authors of a bill aimed at boosting California school immunization rates have cut a reporting requirement in the bill to fast-track their proposal and avoid another contentious hearing.

Democratic Sens. Richard Pan and Ben Allen said Monday thatthey have amended their bill to remove a requirement for schools to notify parents of immunization rates.

Doing so allows SB277 to bypass the Senate Appropriations Committee.

The full Senate could vote as early as this week.

Pan, a Sacramento pedia-

trician, says they made the change to keep the bill's focus on eliminating religious and personal belief exemptions.

Allen says the measles outbreak atDisneyland revealed low immunization rates in pocketsofthestate.

The state Assembly approved the San Diego Democrat's bill, AB305, on a 57-18 vote Monday, sending it to the Senate.

Gonzalez says the out-ofdate state law discriminates against women in the workplace and puts California at oddswith federallaw.

SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown and other California leaders already making six-figure salaries got a raise on Monday for the third year in a row.

A citi zen panelgranted top elected of6cials and state lawmakers a 3 percent bump as it continues rolling back pay cuts imposed during the recession.

The Citizen Compensation Commission approved the salary and benefit increaseson a 4-0 vote after less than an hour of discussion.

Commission member Nancy Miller said the state's record revenues weren' t behind the increases. Rather, "salaries were cut so dramatically during the lean years" that elected ofIicials' pay had to be addressed, she said.

Brown's pay will go to about $183,000, up from about $177,000.

Rank-and-file California lawmakers — who are already the nation's bestcompensated — will now make salaries of a little more than$100,000. They can rejectthe raisesifthey choose.

During the recession, the commission cut lawmaker pay 18 percent and eliminated their state-owned vehicles. Lawmakers are also eligible for a$168 daily cost-of-living allowance, but they don' t get pensions.

SACRAMENTO — Lawmakers have approved a bill that would update California's workers' compensation law so that medical problems primarily affecting women will no longer be considered pre-existing conditions in calculating compensation.

Polish vote could signal shift WARSAW, Poland — President Bronislaw Komorowski l ost the first r ound of t h e

country's presidential election to a previously unknown 42-year-old member of the E uropean Parliament, i n what is being called the biggest shock in Polish politics in years.

The defeat for the communist-era dissident, who has long polled as one of the nation's most trusted leaders, is a sign that parliamentary elections this fall could be unpredictable.

It could even signal a possible return to power for Law and Justice, the right-wing group backing Sunday's winning presidential candidate Andrzej Duda.

A runoff in two weeks will decide the final outcome. In the first round, Komorowski took33.8percent ofthe votes compared to34.8 percent for Duda, according to official results released early Tuesday.

In all there were 11 candidates.

Regardless of which day it was, outdoor irrigation was prohibited between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. under 2014's

The district has until the end of the month to confirm its reduction tier and is trying for a lower number, said Joel Metzger, community relations director.

During the celebration, she delivered tear-filled thank-yous to long-time community sponsors.

"It amazes me what people will give when you ask," said Hagstrom-Dossi The tears continued as she thanked mentors, co-workers and family.

Over 20 years, the program has grown from serving four schools to working with more than 3,750 children in 165 preschool through 12th-grade classrooms.

To coincide with the celebration, the Tuolumne County Board of Education passed a resolution officially honoring the program's "milestone" at the start of a meeting following the celebration.

The county schools office has housed the program since 2009. Superintendent of Schools Margie Bulkin read the resolution to start the celebration.

"Not only has Smile Keepers Program Manager Erika Hagstrom-Dossi worked tirelessly and successfully to keep the program funded through grants, but has also brought her passion, leadership and vision to the program and to the office."

Hagstrom-Dossi said she is amazed at the support the "non-traditional" program has received.

'The county schools office has been so generous and supportive," she said. "I'm not a teacher.I'm justa tooth fairy."

Following public outcry, an agreement between w a t er

agencies put ofF the draining through Sept. 30. But that timeline still ha s CCWD scrambling to complete a projectto extend its intake pumps lower in the lake by that time.

CCWD provides water for about 2,500 customers in the Tulloch area and has no alternative water supply there, according to General Manager Dave Eggerton. s declaration of emergency would help the district move quickly in financing the estimated $1.6-million project, which is expectedto be covered allor mostly all by the state due to the emergency.

The project is urgent now because the pumps take up

Also on Wednesday, the board will: • Consider pledging up to $9,600 to a study on the water supply effects of designating the upper stretches of the Mokelumne River as ''Wild and Scenic" • Vote on reductions to board member compensation and a cash credit to employees who choose not to accept district health benefits Contact Austen

The Pfeiffers' new plans, which were unanimouslyapproved by the Sonora Planning Commission at Monday's meeting, call for a two-story apartment complex that will feature "Queen Anne" style architecture similar to the original.

Financing for the project will come from a low-interest loan provided by the city through a $550,000 federal Community Development Block Grant.

Based on CDBG requirements, the seven units at the site will be rented out to tenants who earn at or below

80 percent of the median income in Tuolumne County.

forecastto bring rain to the foothills and snow to the high country this week.

According to the National Weather Service, partly cloudy skies and cooler temperaturesare forecast today, with thickening clouds and a chance of rain and thunderstorms expected Wednesday afternoon through the weekend.

The heaviest precipitation is expected Thursday and Friday with as much as a halfinch of rain in the foothills and a few inches of snow in the high country above 5,500feet in elevation.

Daytime highs in the foothills are predicted to remain in the mid-60s to low 70s throughout the week, with lows dropping into the mid-

40s. Highs in the high country will be in the mid-50s to near 60, with lows in upper 20s to near 30.

So far this season, Sonora has received 17.54 inches of rain,about 55 percent ofaverage throughthe end of May. Because of an unseasonably warm winter, the snowpack in the Central Sierra is just 1 percent of normal for this time ofyear,according to the Department of Water Re-

Steve Holdeman, an adjacent property owner on Shepherd Street, asked the commission to require a wall behind the building to cut down on noise from Stewart Street.

A pre-existing structure behind the original Victorian served as a sound barrierbefore both were destroyed, he said.

The commission complied with Holdeman's request and directed city staff to conduct a study of the noiseto determine the appropriate height of the wall.

essarybuilding permits before constructioncan proceed,Pfeiffer said.

Local developer Mike L emke spoke infavor ofthe projectshortly before the commission approved the site plans and designs.

"I applaud and support Mr. Pfeiffer's effort to build new housing that'saffordable,"he said.

Local advocates have said the city and countyare lacking enough affordable units to house low-income and homeless individuals.

Before the 2012 fire, the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness rented seven units in the Stewart Street complex through a federal housing grant.

Pfeiffer has said he's interested in making a similar arrangement with a local organization.

Also at Monday's meeting, the commission unanimously approved revisions to Sonora Regional Medical Center's plans for building a can-

cer center and outpatient pavilion at the site of the former Andy's Hardware store on the 900 block of Mono Way. Commissioner Chris Gamin was not in attendance Monday.

The revisions to the hospital's original plans, which were approved by the commission in October 2013, include reducing the height of the buildingfrom 53 to 50 feet,reducing the overall size of the building by 500 feet and shifting the parking layout to increase the number of spaces by two.

Development consultant Ron Kopf and SRMC's Vice President of Operations Michelle Fuentes each spoke in favoroftheproject.

The overall cost of the project is estimated at $36 million, Fuentes said, with $29 million coming from Adventist Health, $4 million from SRMC and $3 million from the local community.

The flavors of white chocolate and apricot combine for a sweet baked treat.

Scones aneasy way to break into baking A ricot White Chocolate Scones

By DIANE ROSSEN WORTHINGTON Tribune Content Agency

These crumbly gems are from author Rosie Daykin's book, "Butter Baked Goods."

This book is so filled with delectabledesserts and sweets. Scones are prettyeasy to make, and the white chocolate and apricot combination are really delicious.

I have friends who freak out at the mention of the word baking. I often suggest they ease into it by baking tea breads or mufBns. Scones also fit into the Seriously Simple repertoire.

Scones can be sweet or savovry

and couldn't be simpler to prepare.

The best way to describe them is that they resemble a rustic-looking biscuit. They are meant to be golden brown ontop and fl aky in the center.

Most scones include a bit of heavy cream to give a buttery consistency.

Here, buttermilk is used for making the scones instead of the usual cream — you' ll find the scones still have a delicious flavor.

Sanding sugar can be found in gourmet stores and adds a lovely touch.

This sweet quick bread is perfect forbreakfast,brunch ora lateafternoon tea break.

Diane Rossen Worthington is an authority on new American

cooking.

She is the authorof18 cookbooks, including "Seriously Simple Parties,"and a James

Beard Award-winning radio show host. You can contact her at www.

Makes 10 scones 5 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar 3 tablespoons baking powder 1/4teaspoon sal t 1 1/2 cups butter, chilled and cut into 1-inch cubes 2 cups dried apricots, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces 1 cup white chocolate chips 1 3/4 cups buttermilk 1 tablespoon almond flavoring To finish: 1 large egg 2 tablespoons cold water Coarse sanding sugar, for sprinkling 1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Butter and flour a large cookie sheet and set aside.

2. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, quickly mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt on low speed to blend. Add the butter cubes and mix until large crumbs form.

Add the chopped apricots and white chocolate chips and mix again to incorporate.

3. Stir together the buttermilk and almond flavoring. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until almost combined.

4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out to about 1-inch thick. Use a 3 1/2-inch circular cutter to cut out 10 circles and place them on the prepared cookie sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to gently coat the top of each scone with the wash. Sprinkle with a little sanding sugar.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. A wooden skewer inserted into the center shouldcome outclean.

7. Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool slightly. These scones are delicious served warm.

Spring asparagus has a sublimely sweet, grassytastewith subtletiesthattend tobe masked when subjected to heat, even the mildestforms.

The stems are especially sweet and can be servedto great effect when lef t raw, shaved and tossed with lemon vinaigrette and pecorino, as seen in this recipe from "Molto Gusto: Easy Italian Cooking." Save the asparagus tips and inevitable leftover lemon vinaigrette for a lovely pasta, risotto or saladofanother sort.

The last thing you want to do is waste these ingredients! Simply prepare another batch of the asparagus and pecorino salad the next night, as the Batali clan does when the first asparagus of spring becomes available. Or get creative with the citrusy, sprightly picker-upper. Drizzle the leftover vinaigrette over blanched sugar snaps or green beans, a couple of asparagus's springtime friends.Thefl avorsofgrilled orseared fish fillets, when hit with a little acid such as this, really live to their full potential.

Tuscan olive oil is preferred in the lemon vinaigrette for many reasons, but the top two are quality and flavor. Romans discovered Greece's cultivation of olive oil during their conquest of the country, and it quickly became an irreplaceable ingredient in Italian dishes.

During the Middle Ages, the largest producersofoliveoilwerethem onasteries,and fortress-farms in Tuscany. Today, the best known Tuscan olive oils originate in Lucca and the Chianti regions.

Hippocrates, one of the most renowned Greek physicians in the history of medicine, was of the first recorded people to comprehend and promote the healthy properties of olive oil. However, it is Pliny the Elder whom I agree with most, and not just because he's Italian. He believed even way back when that "olive oil and wine (were) two liquids good for the human body." I think I would have enjoyed having him at m y dinner table for asparagus and pecorino salad paired with a little herbal, unoaked vino.

Asparagus and Pecorino Salad Serves 6 1 pound asparagus, tough bottom ends snapped off 2 to 3 ounces pecorino Romano 1/4 cup lemon vinaigrette

Tortillas, wraps good for holding healthy foods Tri bune Content Agency

Tortillas and wraps may seem like a healthy way to enjoy a sandwich.

They' re thinner than bread, so they must have fewer calories, right? There are plenty of tortillas and wraps that do contain fewer calories than a couple of slices of wholewheat bread,butthey run on the small side. If you order a wrap from a restaurant — some nearly a foot long — chances are you'd be better ofF, calorie-wise, with good old-fashioned bread. You could end up getting 300 caloriesormorejust from the wrap vs. 160 from two slices of bread.

But wait, wraps are made with all sorts of whole grains and vegetables, making them packed with fiber and nutrition, right? Not so fast. True, there are wraps and tortillas on the market made of ingredients such as whole grains and beans,but far more are made primarily from processed flour. And, as for the vegetables, you won't get

Carefully chosen wraps can be a good way to fit more whole grains and veggies into a meal.

as you choose wisely.

Some helpful hints: • Go for whole grain. Taste- and texture-wise, there is little difference between white (refined flour) and whole wheat tortillas, so it makes sense to go for whole wheat.

Check the ingredients list to find those with whole wheat flour at the top of the list. Another whole grain option is corn — great with Latinflavored fillings, such as beans, cilantro and fish.

• Pack it in. Unlike bread, fillings don't easily fall out of wraps. Take advantage by adding an assort ment of healthy ingredients to your sandwiches, such as shredded carrots, diced peppers, avocados and tomatoes.

much in a wrap. For example, spinach or tomato wraps usually con-

tain a very small amount of vegetables — perhaps even just vegetable flavoring and coloring.

But you don't have to forego "wrapping up" your meal. It' s easy to i nclude tortillas and wraps in a healthy diet, as long

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.

~ I Mailbox

Over the past few summers, I have been invited to multiple graduation parties. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the parties, and I love my players. I am honored to be invited and to have had a positive impact on their lives.

But I can't afford to give each party honoree a gift. That would add up pretty quickly, and it's not fair to give one player a gift and not another.

Is it rude not to give gifts, or is it betternot to attend any parties?COACH ON A BUDGET DEAR COACK We have mentioned in the past that the best gifta teacher or coach can give is a letter expressing positive thoughts about the graduate.

Write something that indicates personal knowledge of the player's attributes and strengths, his or her sense of humor, teamw ork, compassion, efforts or talent. These letters are cherished and saved for years and are more

meaningful than any material gift you could buy. And you also will feel free to attend the parties, which the players will also appreciate.

DEAR ANNIE: In your response to "Al," who found three dusty books inside some ductwork, you told him he could trace the owner without

"pouring" over the personal content.

Oops! The word should have been "poring." —KEN HOOTON DEAR KEN HO O TON: You weren't the only r eader who caught that mistake, which our overworked editorsalso missed.

Thanks for hauling us up short.

Hospice switches focus from life length to quality DEAR DR. ROACH:I was advised by adoctorat a reputable hospitalto put my mother in hospice for congestive heart failure. She also has multiinfarct dementia. That was a year ago.

Her vitals have been checked twice a week since that time and are always good. Her oxygen level also is very good.

We have never had to use the furosemide medication for water retention.

I am starting to think she might not have needed to be in hospice. During her third re-evaluation, a new doctor changed her hospice diagnosis to emphasize her dementia. I am her caregiver and do get some things from hospice that are helpful, but I have spent a year believing my mother was going to die very soon — maybe for no reason other than a doctor in an emergency room recommended hospice.— H.S. ANSWER: Hospice is a philosophy of care that emphasizes reducing suffering and improved quality of life over treatmentsintended to be curative or

Eligibility for hospice requires the patient's attending physician and the hospice medicaldirector agreethatthe person's life expectancy is six months or

less. However, physicians are frequently unable to make accurate predictions about length of life, and your mother' 8 situation of being in hospice for a year or more is not that uncommon. It may seem counterintuitive, but patients often live longer in hospice than comparably ill patients who do not choose hospice. In the specific case of congestive heart failure, hospice beneficiaries lived 100 days longer in hospice than

in hospice, and in fact with my own family members, has been universally positive. I have found that physicians usually refer to hospice too late in the course of the disease. While I understand that you may feel misled in your expectations, I would urge you to considerthatherlife hasbeen both ofbetter quality and of longer duration than it might have been had you not chosen hospice.

DEAR DR. ROACK I fell over a year ago and got a Staph infection in my knee replacement of 14 years. They opened the knee, cleaned out the infection and put a port in my arm for IV antibiotics three times a day. How long can I be on this antibiotic? The problem is that I need a shoulder replacement, and they won't consider it until they take out the old replacement and put in a new one. Otherwise, I'm in pretty good health.

Because the bacteria infecting the joint can go into the bloodstream during treatment, it is essential to avoid putting in any other hardware until the infection has completely cleared. It has been my repeated experience that patience is of great value in this situation.

TOday in hiStOry Today is Tuesday, May 12, the 132nd day of 2015.

There are 233 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On May 12, 1975, the White House announced the new Cambodian government had seized an American merchant ship, the Mayaguez, in international waters. (U.S. Marines gained control of the ship three days after its seizure, not knowing the 39 civilian members of the crew had already been released by Cambodia.)

On this date: In 1922, a 20-ton meteor crashed near Blackstone, Virginia.

In 1932, the body of Charles Lindbergh Jr., the kidnapped son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh, was found in a wooded area near Hopewell, New Jersey.

In 1937, Britain's King George Vl was crowned at Westminster Abbey; his wife, Elizabeth, was crowned as queen consort.

In 1955, Manhattan's last elevated rail line, the Third Avenue El, ceased operation.

In 1965, West Germany and Israel exchanged letters establishing diplomatic relations. The Rolling Stones recorded the final version of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" at RCA Studios in Hollywood.

In 1970, the Senate voted unanimously to confirm Harry A. Blackmun as a Supreme Court justice.

In 1982, in Fatima, Portugal, security guards overpowered a Spanish priest armed with a bayonet who attacked Pope John Paul II. (In 2008, the pope' s longtime private secretary revealed that the pontiff was slightly wounded in the assault.)

In today' s 4 A J43 deal, South is in three no-trurn. How should YAK he stay happy after West leads the heart three? t QJ 5 In the bidding, South had a close decision 4 J1076 over one heart: double or one no-trump? The hand distribution suggests double, but one Dealer: East no-trump has the advantage of immediately Vulnerable: Neither defining hand type and strength: balanced with heart stoppers and 15-plus to 18-minus points.

1NT Pa s s 3 N T AHPass Note West s lead the heart three, not the eight. When you attack in partner's unsupOpening lead:1 3 ported suit, lead high from a doubleton, low from a tripleton.

South starts with only five top tricks: two spades, two hearts and one club. At first glance, it looks easy to establish four diamond tricks and cruise home. But note that if South leads the diamond queen from his hand at trick two, he goes down because of the bad break.

Since East is marked with all of the missing high cards, declarer should play a spade to dummy's king, then lead a low diamond from the dummy.

Here, East has to win with his ace, and South has 10 tricks: three spades, two hearts, four diamonds and one club. But if East could play a low diamond, after winning with his queen, declarer would then run the club jack, to take three spades, two hearts, one diamond and three clubs.

Giants ink Ricky Romero to minor league deal SAN FRANCISCO (API — Left-hander Ricky Romero, a 15-game winner for Toronto in 2011 who hasn't pitched in the majors for two years, has signed a minor league deal with the San Francisco Giants.

General manager Bobby Evans says the 30-year-old Romero will begin at extended spring training in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Romero last pitched for the Blue Jays in 2013, when he made four appearances with two starts.

An All-Star four years ago, the pitcher was released by Toronto last month. He underwent season-ending left knee surgery last June because of inflammation in his quadriceps tendon.

If Romero is added to the big league roster, the Blue Jays will be responsible for all but the prorated portion of the league minimum on his $75 million contract for this year.

He is 51-45 with a 4.16 ERA in parts of five major league seasons.

Tribe established a cutthroat hatchery at SutclifFe on Pyramid Lake's shore in 1974, but that strain of cutthroatoriginating from outside the Truckee River Basin — has only spawned at the hatchery.

The spawns that occurred last year and this spring were the first natural ones since 1938.

The strain of cutthroat that spawned downstream of Marble BlufF, difFerent &om the one raisedby the tribe,was collectedfrom a stream in the Pilot Mountains on the ¹ vada-Utah border. DNA testing confirmed those fish were part of the original Pyramid Lake population that disappeared &om the lake decades ago.

"They are live, vibrant, and swimming out to the lake for the first time," Heki said.

In five to seven years, surviving fish will return to the riveras adults to repeat the cycle.

"That will be the continuity of a self-sustaining, wild population," Heki said.

BHIEFS Assembly bill would make cheerleaders team employees SACRAMENTO (A P) — Cheerleaders for professionalsports teams based in California would have to be paid at least minimum wage under a bill moving through the state Legislature.

A bill approved by the state Assembly on Monday would make it clear that the cheerl eaders are team employees. AB202 says they would haveto be paid for overtime and sick leave, the same as other employees.

Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez says many teams

curtly treat their cheerleaders like glorified volunteers.

The San Diego Democrat's bill responds to recent lawsuits filed by cheerleaders for the Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills.

There was no spoken opposition and her bill was approved on a 52-21 vote.

So which would it be Monday when Sandoval showed up here in his new Boston Red Sox uniform to play the A's on his only visit back to the Bay Area this season?

Would it be pandering or Panda-ermg?

Not surprisingly, it was a little ofboth.

"You learn a lot of things," Sandoval said while visiting with writers for six or seven minutes in the visiting dugout at O.co Coliseum.

He was referring primarily to the events of last spring, after he left the Giants to sign a free-agent deal with Boston.

During training camp, Sandoval gave an interview in which he said the Giants had disrespected him — and that the only two people in the organization that he missed were manager Bruce Bochy and outfielder Hunter Pence.

These remarks did not go over well with Giants fans who had loved Sandoval and mythologized his Panda-ness

said," Sandoval explained. "It probably came out the wrong side."

For what it's worth, he and his former orgamzation do not seem officially at odds. Late Sunday night after the Red Sox landed in San Francisco from Toronto, the Giants sent a three-man delegation to the Boston team hotel with a jewel box. It contained Sandoval's 2014 WorldSeriesring.

Sandoval met Bochy, CEO Larry Baer and general manager Bobby Evans in a quiet corner of the hotel lobby. They performed a mini-presentation ceremony.

"I was excited," said Sandoval, describing a friendly scene with handshakes and hugs all around.

If he could do it over, more Giants names would have been on his friends list — although Bochy and Pence were indeed the two men with whom he was closest.

"If I name them all, this would be a long interview," Sandoval said, smiling his familiar Panda smile, just a richer Panda smile because of his five-year, $95 million contract.

Sandoval also claimed "no bad feelings" exist between him and the Giants, who he said "gave me the opportunity" and "opened the door" for him.

"I know they respect me," Sandoval said of his former teammates.

And how does he feel toward Giants fans, many of whom have fiooded social media with insults of the Panda since his decision to leave the Bay Area?

"Only thing I'm going to say to them," Sandoval repliei, "is that I always gave them 150

That seemed genuine. Sandoval has found a niche in the Boston sports firmament and so far, no one has made a big deal about his weight. From observation, he appears no more chubby than he was during most of his time with the

Frankly, that seemed like pandering. Because a few minutes later, Sandoval did slip into his Panda-ering mode when asked if there was anything he missed about the Bay Area.

Meanwhile, inside the clubhouse, Sandoval seems to have hit it off splendidly with new teammates.

ter out of spring training then earned himself a regular job.

He has also played for Washington, Houston and Kansas City. His young family has seen much of the country already.

'The onlyway for a family to stay together is for them to be together," Maxwell said.'We talkedbefore the season this year and just made it a point that no matter where I was going to be we were always going to be together for the whole year."

When Maxwell arrived at Scottsdale Stadium for spring training in February, Pence approached him with some

He came up to me and told me he was pumped to have me on the team."

Maxwell is not the only one to keep his kids close, either. Reliever Jeremy Affeldt's second-grade son, Walker, receivesregular tutoring so he and his two little brothers, who aren't in elementary school, and their mother can stay in San Francisco with their dad during the season.

Maxwell, batting .241 with three homers and 14 RBIs, drew a walk on a 10-pitch atbat against the Marlins on May 8. It's those little things that have kept him on the field. Not bad for a guy the Giants had considered an extra outfielder or someone who could start against lefthanded pitchers.

ter David Ortiz and outfielder Hanley Ramirez have been calling themselves "The Three Amigos" since Sandoval signed with Boston last winter.

The Red Sox make only one trip to Oakland this season.

So this week is the only time for disgruntledGiants fans to show up anywhere around

here and boo Sandoval. He batted sixth in the lineup Monday.

When he came to the plate in the top of the second inning, there were initially more boos than cheers before the cheers

rosetom akeitm orebalance.

But wait. Were those boos from A's fans who hated Sandoval for being a former Giant? Or were they from A's fans booingSandoval for being a Red Sox player? And were the cheers from A's fans cheering Sandoval for deserting the Giants? Or from Rei Sox fans cheering him for being one of their own?

It's all so complicated. Sandoval plainly believes he was dissed or slighted by Giants' management — and perhaps even by certain teammates-

in some fashion. And he plainly wants people to know that.And plainly, this is another example of team chemistry never being as sweet as fans imagme.

But just as plainly, Sandoval is crazy if he thinks Giants fans arejust going to forget what happened last spring and love him forever.

THE UN' DEMO CRAT

NFL League suspendsTom Brady 4 games forbreaking rules NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL came down hard on its biggest star and its championship team, telling Tom Brady and the Patriots that no one is allowed to mess with the rules of the game.

The league suspended the Super Bowl MVP Monday for the first four games of the season, fined the New England Patriots $1 million and took away two draft picks as punishment for deflating footballs used in the AFC title game.

"Each player, no matter how accomplished and otherwise respected, has an obligation to comply with the rules and must be held accountable for his actions when those rules are violated and the public's confidence in the game is called into question," NFL ex~tive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent wrote to Brady.

The Patriots lose next year's firstroundpickand a fourth-round choice in 2017.

Brady would miss the season' s showcase kickoff game on Sept. 10 against Pittsburgh, then Week 2 at Buffalo, a home game against Jacksonville and a game at Dallas. He will

Brady has three days to appeal the suspension to Commissioner Roger Goodell or his designee. His agent, Don Yee, said "the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis" and that Brady will appeal.
