Imagine having a medical condition that requires you to drink two liters of cleanwater per day,and then waking up in the middle of the night to find your well has run dry.

That's exactly what happened the night of July 22 to Soulsbyville resident Dan Machado, who is currently awaiting a heart transplant. He lives on Carne Richards Road with his wife, Betty, their daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.

A truck pulled up to the family' s home shortly before noon Monday with a much-anticipated delivery of 1,500gallons offresh,potable water for their newly installed temporary water tank, provided through a statefunded disasterassistance program administered by the county.

"It will help ease our minds," Machado said.

The Machados' predicament is just one of the increasing number of well failures being reported throughout the county during California's ongoing drought. County officials say about 180 private wells and six springs have reportedly run dry since last fall, affecting nearly 300 households.

Henry Tamerlane May 26. 1930 —July 18, 2015

Henry Tamerlane was born on May 26, 1930, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and passed away on July 18, 2015, at Avalon Care Center in Sonora. Henry was 85 years old.

Henry was a resident of Sonora for 54 years and was a building contractor and worked in

struction for 50 years. Henry served in the U.S. Army in Korea. He was a l i felong member of the Mother Lode

Gun Club and was always extremely proud of the homes he built.

Henry Tamerlane w as survived by his wife, Ronda Tamerlane, of Sonora; his daughter, Kimberly and (Dave) Phan, of Elk Grove, California; his brother, Bill Tamerlane, of Castro Valley, California; his granddaughter, Keira Phan, and grandson, Davis Phan, both of Elk Grove, California.

He was preceded in death by his parents and, by the span of a single day, his friend of 56 years, Henry.

Like many retirees, James was too busy for official hobbies. He liked to make things and to fi x them when they broke. A parade of cats and an occasional dog found paradise in his home and on his lap.

James supported Millwall FC, enjoyed Ray Charles and Gilbert and Sullivan, and devoured bags full of mystery novels. Women often found him adorable, and the rest of us admired his kind and gen-

He worked for Lenkurt Electric in San Carlos for 21 years, where he did his part to lay the foundation for what has James Alfred Smale become the Silicon Valley.

Move over, Henry Kissinger, you are n o longer at t h e head of the table, no matter how many more memoirs you churn out. Opening the road to China was worth writing home about — but over and over? Kerry achieved a way to find a peaceful footing with a true enemy, Iran. After all, as they say, you don' t make peace with your friends. Vibrant Cuba was left in the cold too long. Now I predict it will become one of our favorite neighbors.

But it' sbittersweet atbest,toconsiderhow such a capable eminence, Kerry, could have been president. The successful negotiations put his worldly talents into sharp relief. For gosh's sake, he even speaks French as he has demonstrated a deft tenacity on the job. His father was in the Foreign Service.

You remember,back in 2004, Kerry was a presidential nominee before the American people snapped into seeing the ineptitude of President George W. Bush. Senator Kerry ran agood race,butthe betterman lost.A tragicwa rcarried on,one which Kerry surely would have ended, knowing a lost cause when he saw one.

Americans like to look forward, not back, but the past is not that far away. It's closer than it appears in the mirror.

In fact, this may be the perfect last chance to see how the lost war in Vietnam still counts at the highest level in our land.

Kerry was a Vietnam War hero, and yes, so was Senator John McCain. Nobody planned the irony to play out this way, but President Obama wished to appoint national security adviserSusan Rice as secretary ofstate in 2013 to succeed Hillary Clinton. McCain balked at that — and forced the presidentinto afarbetterchoice.

It's haunting to trace Kerry's steps to his high office to the man whom he owes for the plum. McCain is his friend and (sometimes) partisan foe. However fiercely they may argue over this and that, they have a bond that can't be broken.

Kerry and McCain are both war heroes, yes, Vietnam War heroes. Both came under fire here at home for their war service, but they were naval officers who deserved better. Kerry'svalor was criticized by the SwiftBoat"crowd in 2004 and McCain was recently scoffed at for being a prisoner of war by venal Donald Trump, who is running for president with no political or military experience.

The lost war also shadowed Kerry's homecoming. Showing political courage as a young man, he led a group of veterans who opposed the Vietnam War. He testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which he would later head. And he asked a question that has never been answered, later asked in a Bruce Springsteen song: How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?

Reassuring Israel that the United States will always keep its security interests first and foremost is still part of Kerry's work ahead. If the deal with Iran and other world powers is rejected, he said, 'We' re not in the hunt." Kerry's vigorous defense of the deal on the Hill does much of the president's

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi's son and onetime heir apparent was convicted and sentenced to death on Tuesday by a court in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, on charges of murder and inciting genocide during the country's 2011 uprising.

But Seif al-Islam Gadhafi is unlikely to face the firing squad anytime soon.

The sentence was handed down in absentia because he remains in the hands of a militia in western Libya that has refused to hand him over for the past four years — yet another sign of the country's bitter &agmentation since his father's fallfrom power.

The uncertainty surrounding Seif alIslam's fate underlines both the weakness of the courts and the general chaos this North A&ican nation has descended into, split between rival militias and governments while being threatened by an affiliate of the extremist Islamic State group, which has benefited from the turmoiland captured some areas in Libya.

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — A prison worker who was "in over her head" with two inmates convicted of murder tearfully pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges of aiding them by smuggling hacksaw blades and other tools to the pair, who broke out and spent three weeks on the run.

Joyce Mitchell, an instructor in the tailor shop

at the Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York, wore shackles and prison stripes as she entered the pleas in a barely audible voice.

Sentencing is set for Sept.

U.S.-based Human Rights Watch said the trial was "undermined by serious

'This trial has been plagued by persistent, credible allegations of fair trial breaches that warrant independent and impartial judicial review," said Joe Stork, Human Rights Watch's deputy Middle East and North Africa director.

"The victims of the serious crimes committed during the 2011 uprising deserve justice, but that can only be delivered through fair and transparent proceedings," Stork said.

Other international organizations, including the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Council of Europe, also condemned the verdict.

also sentenced to death eight other former regime officials, including former Libyan spy chief, Abdullah al-Senoussi, who is in custody in the Libyan capital, as well as foreign intelligence chief Abuzed Omar-Dorda and Gadhafi's former prime minister, Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi.

The rulings can be appealed, and a defense lawyer in the case, Ali Aldaa, said he would challenge it before the LibyanSupreme Court.Another lawyer, Hussien Al-Sherif, described the verdicts as "very harsh."

"We did not expect the sentences to be like this for the defendants, and there will be an appeal to the Supreme Court," he said.

In London, al-Senoussi's wife, Fatma Farkash, asserted that the Tripoli court didn't have the authority to hand down the death sentence.

SANTA CRUZ (AP) A 15-year-old boy l ured an 8-year-old girl into his apartment and killed her beforehiding her body in a recycling bin at the housing complex for artists where they lived, authorities said Tuesday.

Santa Cruz Police Chief Kevin Vogel told reporters that Madyson Middleton went willingly into the apartment and was probably dead even before she was reported missing Sunday evening.

The boy, who police say knew the girl as a neighborhood acquaintance, was arrested on suspicion of murder, Vogel said.

The police chief would not discuss a motive and declined to give details on the suspect's background or the manner in which the girl was slain.

However, progress on the construction of the asphalt plant at the Hogan Dam Quarry has been halted afier the Brian Moss, Calaveras County Environmental Health director, determined that the addition of an asphalt plant to the quarry will involve hazardous material that may have an effect on the environment, requiring a conditional use permit. The decision has since been appealed by Ford Construction and CB Asphalt.

After suffering two heart attacks in the early-2000s, Machado had to give up his business delivering water for construction sites in 2010.

Doctors said the stress fiom the daily grind could kill him.

Machado is now on the waiting list for a heart transplant at Stanford University Medical Center.

When Machado's wi fe woke him up last Wednesday night to tell him their water wasn't working anywhere in the house, he was initially hoping it was just a blown fuse affecting th e w e ll's pump orsome other easy fi x.

August workshops for residents with dry wells

WELLS ed about70 temporary tank installations to serve homes with dry wells, including the Machados. Another estimated 40 households are on a list for temporary water connections to Tuolumne Utilities District.

Meanwhile, the county is preparing for the number of dry wells being reported to continue increasing in coming months.

County leaders have scheduled a series of public workshops in August (see box for complete list) to provide residents with information about how toapply for assistance if their wells run dry. They are also continuing to urge conservationdespite early predictions of a strong El ¹ino weather pattern to hit the state this winter.

One resident, on the verge of selling her house, was concerned about a potential drop in property value with the pending development, and another felt as if the plant was trying to sneakily establish itself before being recognized by the public.

Tuesday did not mark the beginning of the public outcry but rather another phase fiom a sequence that began in late April.

On April 30, Peter Maurer, planning director of the Calaveras County Planning Department wrote a letter of determination to Ford Construction Company, stating that the asphalt plantwas locatedin a zone that allowed for op-

"That should give the Fed a little more confidence that ... they will meet their (infiation) objective," said Laura Rosner, an economist at BNP Paribas.

In June, the price of haircuts jumped 1.6 percent, the biggest monthly jump in the 62 years that the government has tracked the data. Over the past year, they' ve surged 2.8 percent, the largest year-over-year gain since 2008.

of the economy: Infiation is ticking up.

The price increases remain modest. And in many cases, they' re canceled out by price declines for other items that are keeping overall inflation historically low.

50-year-oldbuyer may not appeal to a 25-year-old buyer, Hemphill said.

For example, according to Hemphill's daughter, Realtor Margaret Hemphill, also at Coldwell Banker Segerstrom, it's popular right now to paint an interior accent wall in Chevrons.

Veronica Hemphill said she doesn't know what Chevrons are, but buyers under a certain age do.

The same goes with exterior color choices — Veronica feels yellow isout,butMargaret says it's back in.

Realtors say they see seller's paint a house to sell it and the new buyers end up not liking the color.

Carpet is infamous for that — a seller will install new carpet and the buyers end up replacing it with another color.

"Or when peoplefi x up their kitchens and make it how they' ve always wanted it, and the new owners don't like it," Veronica Hemphill said.

"When youput too much ofyour personality in the painting, the next person might not like it, even

pricesfor steak and its beef barbacoa by an average of about 30 cents per entree, the company says.

The biggest driver of inflation this year has been residential rents. They climbed 3.5 percent in June from a year earlier, the fifth straight month with an annual gain of that size.

Overall, consumers have yet to be hit by significant increases for everyday purchases. Infiation as measured by the consumer price index has barely risen in the past 12 months, mostly because cheaper gas has held down the index.

But prices are rising. If you exclude food and

energy, which tend to fluctuate sharply, "core" inflation has risen 2.3 percent at an annual rate in the past three months. In April, the three-month annual pace was 2.6 percent, well above the Fed's tnfiatton target.

Economists expect the price increases to continue, in part because they' re occurring mostly in

services, whose prices tend to be comparatively stable. Economists call these "sticky" prices. They include rent, insurance, haircuts, restaurant meals and utility bills.

I never pulled those kinds of shenanigans,and my wife and I happilycelebrated our 60th anniversary recently. I have always wondered, though, whether we did the right thing by not telling her sister 58 years ago. Perhaps if we had, she might have le him then and her whole life could have changed for the better. What is your opinion? —E.C. DEAR E.C.: This question comes up a Iot in om column. Sixty years ago, the threat of contraet-

~) Mailbox ing herpes or HIV wasn't an issue.

And unlike other sexually transmitted diseases, these are not curable.They require long-term treatment and monitoring. These diseases changed the landscape when it came to telling someone about an affair that was otherwise not really their business.

There are women who say they would want to know and feel betrayed when they discover that friends and family members didn't tell them. There are an equal number of women who shoot the messenger, opting to close their eyes and stay in the marriage, often cutting off contact with the person who told the truth. Our opinion is that it's best

to confront the cheater, letting him know you are aware ofhis actions and could tell the spouse, and suggesting counseling.

Your wife made the determination that her sister's marriage was not her business and that Sis would prefernot to know. Even if Sis wasaware of the cheating, she may not have wanted a divorce when such a move still carried a social stigma. Hindsight is 20/20, but in the moment, there is no way to know how someone will respond and how their lives will change. You make the decision you think is best at the time.

DEAR ANNIE: Are there any websites devoted to helping people find nursing homes or assisted living facilitiesfor relativeswho moved to other states antI did not plan for when they got older?These people do not have family members who live nearby, and now their far-flung nieces and nephews are trying to help them out.

Today in history Today is Wednesday, July 29, the 210th day of 2015. There are 155 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On July 29, 1890, artist Vincent van Gogh, 37, died of an apparently selfinflicted gunshot wound in Auvers-sur-O!se, France.

On this date: In 1914, transcontinental telephone service in the U.S. became operational with the first test conversation between New York and San Francisco. Massachusetts' Cape Cod Canal, offering a shortcut across the base of the peninsula, was officially opened to shipping traffic.

In 1921, Adolf Hitler became the leader ("fuehrer") of the National Socialist German Workers Party.

In 1965, The Beatles' second feature film, "Help!," had its world premiere in London.

In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford became the first U.S. president to visit the site of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz in Poland.

In 1981, Britain's Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. (However, the couple divorced in 1996.)

In 1985, space shuttle Challenger began an 8-day mission that got off to a shaky start: the spacecraft achieved a safe orbit even though one of its main engines shut down prematurely after lift-off.

In 1994, abortion opponent Paul Hill shot and killed Dr. John Bayard Britton and Britton's bodyguard, James H. Barrett, outside the Ladies Center clinic in Pensacola, Florida.

(Hill was executed in September 2003.)

I A1075 4AQ6 Peter Diamandis, a Greek-American engineer, East physician and entrepreneur, said, "An exponential 4AQ J1 0 growth is a simple doubling. One becomes two 4 K becomes four."

V AQ95 4 2 V10 3 We are looking at responder's redouble after < II 4 2 tQJ3 p artner opens one of a suit, and the next player y K94 4 J 10 8 7 makes a takeout double. The redouble promises South at least 10 high-card points and, if opener bid one 4 875 4 heart or one spade, denies four-card or better supV J87 port for that major. After the redouble, either the 0 K96 opening side buys the contract, or the intervening 4532 side plays in something doubled for penalty.

This deal occurred during a tournament. East, Dealer: West after his redouble, didn't expect the opponents Vulnerable: Both to land in the suit where he had 100 honors, but when they did,he knew what to do.And note West's passes — he trusted partner. His hand had decent defense, especially since it contained the Pass P a s s P a ss spade king.

What did West lead against one spade doubled' ?

Opening lead: ??

The defense didn't slip. West accurately led the spade king. In general, whenever partner makes a low-level penalty double — which includes passing a takeout double, turning it into a penalty double — lead a trump. East overtook with the spade ace and drew three more rounds, West discarding the heart five (attitude), the diamond two (attitude) and the diamond eight (present count).

East shifted to the heart 10, which South covered with his jack. West, seeing that he had no re-entry, played low.

Now declarer took the club finesse and cashed his other three minor-suit tops, but the defense had the rest for down two, plus 500. Not bad on a deal where East-West cannot make game.

The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above.

Red Sox retire Martinez's No. 45 BOSTON (AP) — The script called for Jason Varitek to remain in the dugout until it was time for the ceremonial first pitch.

Pedro Martinez was never one to follow the script.

Calling his former catcher out to join him in the center of the diamond, Martinez took the mound and the microphone one more time for the Red Sox during a pregame ceremony to retire the No.45 he wore in Boston.

A three-time Cy Young Award winner who anchored the staff that helped the Red Sox win the 2004 World Series, Martinez was honored Tuesday night before Boston's 9-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox. Two days after Martinez was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, David Ortiz waved his hand and a red curtain was removed to reveal the No. 45 on the Fenway facade.

The Red Sox showed a video that counted down all the numbers in his career, from his 3,154 strikeouts to his one World Series championship.

When it was over, former teammates and Red Sox greats filed out of the dugout: Trot Nixon, Orlando Cabrera and Curt Schilling, then Carlton Fisk, Luis Tiant and Carl Yastrzemski.

Martinez is the first pitcher to have his number retired by the Red Sox. He joins Bobby Doerr (No. 1), Joe Cronin (4), Johnny Pesky (6), Yastrzemski

Del Rio wants new version of Raiders

OAKLAND — Whenever a player would make a mistake this ofFseason, first-year Oakland coach Jack Del Rio would make a point that this was a new v ersion of t h e Raiders and those errors were no longer acceptable.

"That's not a part of who we are right now. We' re going forward," Del Rio said. "I always attempt to paint a picture. I know these guys really want to win. They' re willing to work and we need to paint a picture and show them how to get there."

MLB Nationals land Papelbon in trade M IAMI (AP) — T h e Washington N a t i onals have a new closer, landing All-Star Jonathan Papelbon from the Philadelphia Phillies.

That means their newly demoted closer isn' t happy.

On the night the Nationals got Jayson Werth and Ryan Zimmerman back from long stints on the disabled list, they also landedPapelbon from the Phillies and wasted no time announcing that he will be taking over the closer duties from Drew Storen.

"All-Star closer, been in p ressure situations his whole career, so we' re happy to have him," Nationals manager M att Williams said of Papelbon.

It's not a unanimous opinion.

Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said he talked to Storen about the trade and indicated that the closer who converted 29 of 31 chances for Washington this year was taking it well. Storen offered a di6'erent perspecti ve postgame.

"All I'm going to say is that I'm aware of the move and I' ve talked to Mike about it and talked to my agent an d we' ve

had some ongoing discussions and until those have progressed I'm going to leaveit at that and no comment for now," Storen said. "As the situation goes, Ill keep you guys posted."

left side of the offensive line with tackle Donald Penn and guard Gabe Jackson. With free agent Rodney Hudson entrenched at center, the big questions this summer will be solidifying the right side. Aftera disappointing debut season in Oakland at right guard, Austin Howard is moving to tackle to compete with Menelik Watson. The competition is wide open at right guard with Khalif Barnes, Matt McCants, J'Marcus Webb and rookie Jon Feliciano all in the mix.

Questions at c o r nerback: The Raiders let veteran cornerbacks Tarell Brown and Carlos Rogers leave as free agents and are turning to younger players. DJ Hayden, the team's top pick in 2013,

has struggled in limited playing time as a pro and could be pushed for a starting job by second-year players TJ Carrie and Keith McCants. That trio has just15 career starts in the NFL and will need to get up to speed quickly.

Sack the quarterback: The Raiders were tied for the second-fewest sacks in the NFL last season with 22. The man charged with improving that total is Mack, who was outstanding as a rookie despite just four sacks. Mack had 52 pressures, according to Pro Football Focus, second among all 4-3 outside linebackers. With added weight and more moves in his repertoire, the Raiders are hoping for bigger numbers.

Goodellupholds Brady's 4-game suspension NEW YORK (AP) — The commissioner pointed to concealed evidence.

The team described it as a folly. And the agent added sham to the lexicon of"Deflategate."

GoodeH said the New England quarterback told an assistant to destmy Brady's ceHphone on or just before March 6. Brady met with independent investigator Ted Wells on that day. ' He did so even though he was aware that the investigators had requested accesstotextmessages and other electronic information that had been stored on that phone," GoodeHsaid in his decision.

"During the four months that the cellphone was in use, Brady had exchanged nearly 10,000 text messages, none of which can now be retrieved fmm that device.

Brady and the Patriots have denied knowingly using deflated footballs in the AFC title game win over Indianapolis. The Patriots went on to beat Seattle in the Super Bowl and Brady was the MVP. In its statement, the team said ''We cannot comprehend the league's position in this matter."

The NFL announced in late January that Wells would head an investigation into New England's use of underinflated balls against the Colts. More than three months later, the 243-page Wells reportwas issued,saying itwas"m ore probable than not" that Brady was "at leastgenerall y aware"thatfootballs he usedwere improperly defl ated by team personnel.

Brady appealed and the union asked GoodeH to recuse himself fmm hearing the appeal because he could not be impartial and might be called as a witness.

But GoodeH said it was his responsibility to oversee the hearing to protect the integrity of the league.

Brady, who turns 38 on Aug. 3, took nearly every snap last season. But he' ll miss the first four games this season unless the case goes to court. Jimmy Gamppolo, asecond-round pick in 2014, would replace Brady, the two-time NFL MVP and three-time Super Bowl MVP. New England hosts Pittsburgh on Sept.10 to open the regular season.It then goes to Buffalo, hosts Jacksonville, has a bye, and is at Dallas in the last game of Brady's suspension. Brady would return against, yes, the Colts on Oct. 18 in Indianapolis.

Woods almostout ofchances to salvage season GAINESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Tiger Woods knows he's played poorly over the past two years. Now, he's facing the prospectofan early end tohisseason.

Normally, the Quicken Loans National would be the beginning of a busy stretc h ofgolfforW oods,including the year's final major, a World Golf Championshipand the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Not this year. Barring a dramatic turnaround, this week's tournament will be his second-to-last before the new PGA Tour season begins in the fall.

Woods is 197th in the FedEx Cup standings — the top 125 make the playoffs — and he needs a victory just to beeligible for next week's Bridgestone Invitational, on a course where he's won eight times. His last victory was atFirestone two years ago.

Woods was sidelined three months after back surgery in 2014, and this year he took two months off to fix a balky short game. He said Tuesday that he doesn't feel a huge sense of urgency because he hasn't played much

competitive golf, something caddie Joe LaCava is always reminding him.

"Still trying to make a big, major swing change. Problems with my pattern and my short game," Woods said, reciting the litany of woes that have seen him fall to 266th in the world.

"I haven't scored very well. I missed cuts. I haven't done much in the last coupleofyearsand soIhaven'tplayed a whole lot of golf in the last couple years. That's what Joey keeps reminding me of, 'Would you just relax?' " If Woods is feeling stressed, it wasn' t evident during Tuesday morning' s practice round. He joked around with good friend Arjun Atwal, turning serious only when Atwal ribbed him about gettingolder."I'm not 40 yet," said Woods, who' ll reach that milestone in December.

Woods mostly found the fairways with his driver and routinely flew the ball 30 yards past Atwal. He said he hits the ball about a club farther in the muggy summer weather — in contrast to the cold and wind he battled in the British Open at St. Andrews, where he missed the cut.

Woods said after his latest disappointing finish in a major that his "spin rates" were ofK But he didn' t touch a club for a week after St. Andrews, instead going diving with his children in the Bahamas. ''When Igeared back up,started doing some testing and found a couple little things but wasn't anything major, which was nice,"Woods said."Some of my swings just weren't quite right."

In eight events this year, Woods has missed three cuts and withdrawn once. He's shot five rounds in the 60s and three rounds in the 80s. His best finish is a tie for 17th at the Masters.

While he used to find ways to break par when his game wasn't sharp, now he said he's shooting 74 or worse.

"I'm not scoring, obviously," he said.

'Tve had chances to make those runs and I just haven't done it."

Woods is the host of the Quicken Loans National, which benefits his foundation. This year it's being played

it's been played six times.

RTJ has hosted four Presidents Cups, most recently in 2005.

"It's a lotbigger golfcourse than I remember in '05," Woods said. "We played some more up tees back then, but the game has changed the past 10 years. Everybody hits the ball a little bit further."

Congressional attracted elite fields its first few years, but this year's event

has a tough spot on the calendar, with many players taking a week off ahead of the Bridgestone and the PGA Championship. Just five of the world' s top 50 are playing, including defending champion Justin Rose and Rickie Fowler.

World No. 14 Jimmy Walker comes in relatively fresh, having played just three times since May. He's gearing up for the big events that Woods is in danger of missing.

"I played with him at Augusta this year. You could tell he really wanted for the first t ime at R obert Trent to make the putts and hit the good Jones Golf Club, about 35 miles west shots," Walker said of Woods. "It looks of the nation's capital. Next year it like he's got the drive to get things gowill return to Congressional, where ing for him. I hope he does."
