been busy in recent weeks repairing leaks and replacing leaking pipes in the La Grange area served by Lake Don Pedro Community Services District. ''We' ve been out here daily, fixed 45 or so in the past month," Randy Gilgo, of Njirich & Sons in Sonora, said Tuesday as co-workers replaceda serviceline on Las Moras Street near Don Pedro Market.

Leaking pipes are a persistent problem in the Lake Don Pedro CSD service area in part because a water system laid out in the 1960s by Boise Cascade was poorly built, said Pete Kampa,district general manager.

"They buriedpipes next to rocks, 50 years has put holes in pipes, and parts of the system arefailing prematurely," Kampa said. "We' ve determined it was improper backfill, poor construction. Nobody was watching.

"They dug a trench, put in pipe, then filled it back in with asphalt and rocks, put the rock they dug out back in on top of the pipe," Kampa said. "Normally you remove the rocks and put in softer fill. Some of the pipes we' ve dug up to replace, they had chunks of asphalt in the trench with them."

Medford, Oregon. He was 85 years old.

Bill was born in Merced, California, on Dec. 14, 1929, the second child of Luther and Adah (Allen) Stewart, of Mariposa. Bill was a 1947 graduate ofMariposa Kgh School, where he served as student body president his senior year and starred in his school's varsity sports.

TUOLUMNE COUNTY The Sonora Police Department reportedthe following:

Appealson Iran made to US 3ews cast aimed at Americans Jews. The prime minister railed against the agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in sanctions relief, calling it a "bad deal" that leaves Tehran on the brink of a bomb.

'The nuclear deal with Iran doesn' t block Iran's path to the bomb. It actually paves Iran's path to the bomb," Netanyahu said in his remarks. Organizers said about 10,000people participated in the meeting.

Netanyahu, one of the fiercest critics of the nuclear accord, also disputed Obama's assertion that opponents of the diplomatic deal favor war. He called that assertion "utterlyfalse,"saying Israelwants peace, not war.

Participants in Obama's meeting with

Jewish leaders said attendees who oppose the deal raised with the president their concernover being painted as eager for war. They said while Obama appeared sympathetic to their concerns, he continued toargue that ifCongressrejects the agreement, he or the next president would quickly face a decision on taking military action to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

The back-to-back sales pitches from the leaders came on the eve of a foreign policy address Obama was to deliver as he seeks tobolstersupportforthedealin Congress.

A White House official said Obama would frame lawmakers' decision to approve or disapproveofthe dealas the m ostconsequential foreign policy debate since the decision to go to war in Iraq.

Obama met privately for more two hours with Jewish leaders at the White House, making a detailed case for the nuclear accord and urging opponents — including some in the room — to stick to the facts in making their own arguments, according to participants.

"Faute de mieux." That means "for want of something better" in Secretary of State John Kerry's second language.It's also the bestcase made by itsjournalistic defenders for approval of the nuclear weapons deal Kerry negotiated with Iran. Or to be more exact, for rallying 34 votes in the Senate or 146 votes in the House to uphold a presidentialveto ofa congressional vote to disapprove.

It's a measure of the weakness of the deal that such a grudging argument is needed to rally such an unimpressive proportion of members of Con-

gress.

Michael B

New York Times = reporter T h o mas Friedman, g enerally a su p porter of Barack Obama's policies, makes the "faute de mieux" argument explicitly. But he also adds some conditionser, recommendations — to his endorsement, which aren' t likely to be congenial to the president.

Put a tough military man in charge of seeking enforcement. Get Congress to pass an authorization for use of military force (AUMF) in case Iran cheats. Reach out to the Iranian people who, all indicators suggest, don't like the mullahs' regime. And, in the Middle East, don't tilt too far toward either Iran's Shia or the Saudis' and others' Sunni allies.

That last recommendation is hard to carry out. As The American Interest's Walter Russell Mead argues, it' s only practicable to do two of the three following things: (1) reach a deal with Iran, (2) preserve alliances with the various Sunnis and (3) do nothing in Syria. Since No. 1 is done and No. 3 is clearly Obama's preference, No. 2 seems doomed, despite Defense Secretary Ashton Carter's postdeal Middle East diplomacy.

Tough enforcement would be a "volte-face" (more diplomatic French) from the Vienna negotiators' tactics and Obama would surely discourage an AUMF as he tried to discourage Congress's push for strong sanctions against Iran.

As for reaching out to the Iranian people, Obama refrained pointedly from doing so when the Green protests against the mullahs' election frauds broke out in June 2009. At the time that seemed a puzzling decision: why not push, as Ronald Reagan did against the Soviets in Eastern Europe in the 1980s, in the direction of regime change?

Six years later it seems not so puzzling.

As former Bush National Security staKer Michael Doran argued in a lengthy article in Mosaic magazine, Obama's policy toward Iran seems motivated by a desire for "rapprochement" and an eschewal of any moves toward regime change.

We should approach adversaries with an open hand, as he said in his first inaugural address, if they are willing to unclench their fist. The nuclear deal with Iran, as Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes explained this spring, would be as important an accomplishment in the president's second term as Obamacare was in his first.

Friedman argues that the Iran deal gets the United States two good things. One is to prevent "Iran from producing the fissile material to break out with a nuclear weapon for 15 years." But "break out" is an ambiguous term.

No serious analyst thinks the mullah regime is averse to cheating. It has done so before and been caught — belatedly. And the inspection process seems full of holes.

Iran is not required to document previous nuclear efforts.

It issupposed toprovide soilsamples from nuclear sites to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

There is at least a 24-day delay — quite possibly much more — between complaints of violations and inspections.

And one does not have to impute bad faith or incompetence to the IAEA to note that its inspections processes involving hostile regimes have been flawed.

The prudent course is to expect violations, expect them to go undetected or unconfirmed for lengthy periods and thus expect Iran to move farther toward operational nuclear weapons than the deal contemplates.

Moreover, under paragraph 36 of the agreement, Iran can abandon its obligations any time it complains that the other signatories have abandoned theirs. It's not hard to imagine how such complaints could be concocted.

That's not likely to happen in the remaining 17 months of Obama's term. But it could any time thereafter. Unless the deal, as Friedman hopes, "creates a context that could empower the more pragmatic forces inside Iran over time."

Obama's entire Iran policy is based on the "conjecture" — historian Niall Ferguson's word — that this deal will lead to beneficent regime change. That could prove right.

But most American voters, most foreign policy experts and most members of Congress think not.

At Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire, the future of the party gathered, and it pretty much looked like the past. Almost without exception, the candidates were white men in dark suits.

Almost without exception, they have not led tough lives. Which means they have to borrow the suffering of their parents.

"Two decades ago, my mother was a maid at a hotel. My father was a bartender," said Marco Rubio.

"My father was a coal miner; my mother could barely speak English," said John Kasich.

At least Chris Christie had the gumption to point out how difficult he makes the lives of others. "I'm like the bad relative you invite for Thanksgiving," said Christie. "I come early and stay till they clear the dishes."

One by one, they all seemed to stay onstage very, very late. Even though the Republicanshave 17 major declared candidates, this doesn't mean human patience or human kidneyshave expanded with

WATER Continued from Page Al ervoirs in drought-stricken California.

As of Tuesday, McClure was holding 107,945 acrefeetof water, 11 percent of capacity and below minimum regulatory pool set by the State Water Resources Control Board and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. An acre-foot is enough water to fl ood a footballfield 1 foot deep.

"There's60 feet of water right now underneath our pumps," Kampa said in a summary of his district's water situation. "Predictions are that the water level in McClure will drop below our pumps in December or Janu-

Sonora, California

THEUNIONDEMOCRAT finalized this week totaling more than $3 million to fund projects including service-line replacement, and to complete two remaining wells, Kampa said.

The district c ontinues contracting with Njirich & Sons of Sonora for emergency water service-line replacements, which comprise nearly all existing water leaks.

"The leaks are still occurring at the rate of a half dozen or so per week, and we are working diligently on ourprotocolto getan accurate understanding of our distribution system losses," Kampa said. "To do this, we must have large water meterstested and cali brated, adopt protocol for reading meters and logging data at specific times and dates."

Last month, Lake Don Pedro CSD officials believed they were going to have to stop drawing water from McClure unless Merced Irrigation District, which operates McClure and New Exchequer Dam that impounds it, agreed to implement a plan to rescue fish from thereservoir.

By mid-month the state Department of Fish and Wildlife in cooperation with Merced Irrigation District determined preparation of a fish-rescue plan was not necessary and not feasible, Kampa said.

The upshot is Lake Don Pedro CSD can continue to draw water from McClure this year even as the reservoir's level continues falling below minimum pool.

The next meeting of the Lake Don Pedro CSD Board of Directorsis scheduled at 1 p.m. Aug. 17 at 9751 Merced Falls Road.

Though the specific model sought by the Sherifl's Office isn't a military-surplus piece of equipment, such vehicles have stirred controversy in recent years due to their military-like appearance.

Mele said he's gone to several community group meetings and met with local media organizations to explain the importance of the vehicle to the Sherifl"s Office.

"They have a better understanding that this is not a vehicle that they have seen on TV as used in Ferguson or Baltimore," he said. 'This is a vehicle to save public lives."

The board agreed to bring the requestback for consideration at the Aug. 18 meeting to include in the final budget.

"I'dlike to see it as an option in the budget when it comes back," said District 5 Supervisor Karl Rodefer.

The board also heard from representatives of the Tuolumne County Arts Alliance and Tuolumne County Historical Society. Both groups, in addition to the Mother Lode Fairgrounds, are seeking additional money from the county in the final budget.

According to meeting documents, the requests add up to a total $96,000 in one-time funding out of the county's main operating fund next year.

At the Aug. 18 meeting, the board will be looking to eliminate a projected $325,000 shortfall for one-time funding and special projects.

debit cards should talk to their terminal providers about updating their point-ofsale devices, because as of Oct. 1, liability will shift from credit card issuers to merchants in certain cases of fraud.

Widely used in Europe and throughout the world, the U.S. and local banks are in the process of making the migration to EMV technology.

EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa," according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. To reduce fraud, EMV chips are becoming the standard for integrated circuit cards (IC cards or "chip cards"), IC card capable point-of-sale terminals, and automated teller machines. cEMV chip cards" on credit and debit cards generatea one-time-use code for every transaction, making it virtually impossible to create a counterfeit card, according to the Service Corps of Retired Executives.

Because of this, the transition to chip cards isexpected to significantly reduce fraud.

Traditional cards hold static information that does not change once encoded by the card's manufacturer. Fraudsters can get this data by hacking point-of-sale terminals and re-using the numbers. Smart cards generate one-time codes that expire after each transaction, which prevents the transaction data from being reused.

The expiring codes will help protect consumers who physically use their cards, but doesn't protect against online fraud.

The transition to chip cards will also bring a change in liability.

The business started out at the Tuolumne Village Farmers Market in 2014, which was the first organized event that would "have them," Curto said.

Then they started doing Twain Harte Concerts in the Pines and a few music festivals in the Valley. The Curto's started out thinking they would get more business outside of Tuolumne County, but found the opposite was true.

"The more we do here, the better we' re doing," Curto said. "That small town thing — we' ve gotten so much support and great feedback."

The Tuolumne Village Farmers Market clientele has "blown up," Curto said.

Sometimes they have a line of 70 people waiting for pizza, and they assemble and cook the pies for four hours straight, she said.

Market co-founder Melitta Varosy, of Tuolumne, said Old Skool Pie is "incredibly popular."

So, by now many who have Windows 7 or — especially — Windows 8 have been presentedthe option toupgrade, for free, to the new Windows 10 operating system.

This is a radical move by Microsoft to position the company moving forward. It is an acknowledgement that Windows 8 was widely rejected by the user base.

There are two things to watch with this move. Microsoft seems to be putting up a trial balloon of sorts, testing the waters of Google and others who give away their operatingsystem software.

Is this the new Microsoft model, to give away the desktop operating system? It will be interesting to see how this pans out. And is Microsoft doing away with operating systems that rely only on a mouse fora pointer device?

Trivial, yes, but I have had a long working relationship with the computer mouse, and I might not be ready yet to give it up completely.

The question I' ve heard the most when I am meeting with customers is, "Should I upgrade?" The answer most likely will be yes.

If you want to be cautious, wait tw o weeks and then do an online search for

"windows 10 software incompatibility." You can even add at the end of the search the name of the software you are curious about. By then, chances are someone else with your software is having some sort of an issue. If what you find is that your software generally does run on Windows 10, you probably want to upgrade.

If you are in a little bit more of a hurry because you find Windows 8 frustrating and cumbersome, then I suggest you make a list of any software you may be concerned about and Google the specific version and name of the software that you are using, including the keywords aWindows 10.a If there are

Starting on Oct. 1, the liability for card-present fraud will shiit to whichever party is the least EMV-compliant in certain &audulent transactions, a Small Business Administration press release said.

Most banks have already startedreplacing their credit cards with the new chip cards, and ATM roll-outs will begin this summer or later this year, depending on the bank.

Locally, some banks plan to give new customers chip cards before Oct. 1 and existing customers will get new cards when theirs expire, or if they request a new one beforethe expiration date. Other banks plan to roll out the new chip ATM and creditcards over time.

Updating card terminals to the new technology will protect small businesses &om any liability, Ayala SBld.

Ayala said h e h a sn' t heard many member businesses talk about the switch to EMV card readers, but when the chamber used its new square at a recent fundraiser at the Lazy Z resort (using the resort's WiFi), people loved it.

"It makes things a lot easier," he said. "A member did their (chamber membership) renewal on Friday with the Square."

The Tuolumne County Chamber of Commerce is planning a town hall meeting in October at which local experts will talk to residents and businesses on the topic and on credit card and cyber &aud. For more information, call 532-4212.

It is not mandatory that businesses upgrade their point of sale terminalscustomers will still be able to "swipe" their cards like normal, the Service Corps of Retired Executives website SBld.

People should contact their card processor and/or point-of-sale provider to discuss upgrading to terminals that accept chip cards. Businesses that have recently updated may already have point-of-sale terminals with chip readers.

There may be a cost associated with new chip-enabled terminals, by upgrading, but business owners may avoid increased liabilityforcertain typesof&aud, and it's an important costbenefit decision that only individual business owners can make, SCORE said.

Intuit, the company that created QuickBooks, recently conducted a survey that found a low number of business owners know about the EMV transition.

The survey found that: •42 percentofsm allbusiness owners have not heard of the EMV liability shift deadline.

• 58 percentofsm allbusinesses have higher sales

The chamber offic e on South Shepherd Street in Sonora recently switched its credit/debit card terminal machine to an "Elavon" EMV-compliant t erminal, where cards are "dipped" rather than "swiped," Ayala explained.

Chip cards are inserted or dipped into the reader and left in place for the entire sale.

The machine did not cost the chamber anything,and conversion should not cost business owners anything, he said.

Business owners should contact their terminal providers(separate from their banking institutions) and find out when they can get new machines, Ayala said. transactions when customBusiness owners who use ers pay with a credit card.

Netflix to give workers with babies a year of paid leave SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Netflix is giving new parents on its payroll up to a year of paid leave in a move thatcould pressure other technology employers to improve their benefits as they vie for talent.

T he employee benefit a n nounced Tuesday on Netfiix's blog is generous even by the high standards of Silicon Valley, where free meals and other perquisites supplement lavish salaries in the fi ercely competitive battle for computer programmers and other technology workers.

"Netflix's continued success hinges on us competing for and keeping the most talented individuals in their field," Tawni Cranz, the com-

pany's chief talent officer, wrote in the blog post. "Experience shows people perform better at work when they' re not worrying about home."

Google, which c onsistently ranks among the best places to work, offers 18 weeks of paid maternityleave. Parents can also take seven to 12 weeks of paid "baby bonding" time during their child's first year.

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

What do I do? — NEWJERSEY SON DEAR NEW JERSEY: You learn to acceptyour parents as they are, and then set boundaries that will allow you to be less upset.

Your folks apparently think you are a terrific storyteller, but you do not have to oblige. When they ask you to relate something, it' s fine to say, "Not right now," and then change the subject. A useful skill is to do so while being polite, even smiling. Never lose your temper. Repeat as often as necessary and take your leave if they won' t letup. Save your conversation for

friends who appreciate it instead of siblings who talk over everyone.

Some parents are notorious for criticizing their children's choices in everything. Most children figure out how to evaluate what has merit and then ignore the rest, nodding politely instead of arguing. We suggest you practice.

D EAR ~ : I wou ld like to respond to "At a Loss in Ohio," whose brother died and she received no condolences from anyone in her boyfriend'8 family, including his children, nor any ofhisfriends.

W hy would you give people who behave poorly a pass by saying she should forgive them? She wasn't asking them to mourn her brother, so whether they knew him is irrelevant. She was looking for emotional support to help soften the sharp edges of the pain. Isn't that what family and friends do for each other? Their indi8'erence to her pain is inexcusable and she owes them nothing

status doesn't elicit that information.

And why would an ophthalmologist need that information? When I questioned the ophthalmologist'8 nurse, she informed me that Medicare requires them to ask these questions.

So, here's my question: Is there some regulation requiring docs to ask patients this kind of question? When a patient encounters questions he or she finds intrusive and irrelevant, how does the patient avoid answering them? I' ve simply not answered them on the form,

but then a stafI' member specifically questions me about my marital status.

Keith Roach, M.D. I think these intrusive questions fall into the category of curiosity, and to ask them — and, in my case, to not answer them — canaffectthedoctor-patientrelationship. How would you suggest that patients handle this issue? — L.W. ANSWER: Medicare does not require marital status in order to process claims, although the registrars I spoke to thought it was But to answer your larger question, the best way I can think of to avoid answering questions that seem intrusive and not relevantto yourme dicalcarewould be topolitely tellthedoctor'sstafFthatyou wouldprefertogive theinformation directly to the doctor. Then you and the doctor can discuss your concerns about your information and your concerns for

the reasons he or she wants to know.

In the case of marital status, I can' t think of any good reason an ophthalmologist would need to know. A compassionatedoctorcaring foryourpsycheor for you holistically might well be concerned about your relationship status, as relationships are an important part

ofmostpeople'slives.Difhculties in relationships can manifest in physical and psychological symptoms, and they even can afFect the risk of heart disease. But I difFerentiate "relationship status" 6om "marital status," because the two are not synonymous.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have never seen anything in your column about sebaceoushyperplasia.Iread thatitis quite similar to acne and that a person could use an acne treatment to keep the condition in check.

She hasevery righttofeelangry and resentful. — CALL A SPADEA SPADE DEAR CALL: We agree that these people behaved terribly and said so. But finding forgiveness is for her, not them. She needs to let these peopleknow how disappointed she was in their lack of condolences, but she also needs to find a way to let it go or it will poison her relationship with her boyfriend. We should notbe so focused on holding onto hurt and anger that we lose track of the other things that matter.

on the forehead and cheeks, and have an umbilicus (a small hole) in the center.

They are enlargements of the oil-producing sebaceous glands. They happen particularly in people with oily skin.

Treatment can be challenging. Reducing dietary fat and using a goodquality skin-care regimen for oily skin may help. Dermatologists can treat these when they are cosmetically important, not because they cause harmUt

themselves. Although they can be mistaken for basal cell cancers of the skin, they are not cancerous or pre-cancerous.

They are mostly treated mechanically, and by that I mean using a surgical technique like cauterization or excision. But these techniques can leave scars.

Today in history Today is Wednesday, August 5, the 217th day of 2015. There are 148 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On August 5, 1965, during the Vietnam War, "The CBS Evening News" sparked controversy as it aired a report by correspondent Morley Safer showing a group of U.S. Marines torching huts in the village of Cam Ne, considered a Viet Cong stronghold, using flamethrowers and Zippo cigarette lighters.

On this date: In 1884, the cornerstone for the Statue of Liberty's pedestal was laid on Bedloe's Island in New York Harbor.

In 1914, what's believed to be the first electric traffic light system was installed in Cleveland, Ohio, at the intersection of East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue.

Montenegro declared war on Austria-Hungary at the start of World War I. In 1924, the comic strip "Little Orphan Annie"

by Harold Gray made its debut.

In 1957, the teenage dance show "American Bandstand," hosted by Dick Clark, made its network debut on ABC-TV. In 1962, actress Marilyn Monroe, 36, was found dead in her Los Angeles home; her death was ruled a probable suicide from "acute barbiturate poisoning." South African antiapartheid activist Nelson Mandela was arrested; it was the beginning of 27 years of imprisonment.

In 1969, the U.S. space probe Mariner 7 flew by Mars, sending back photographs and scientific data.

In 1984, actor Richard Burton died in Geneva, Switzerland, at age 58.

Some players would win the ftrst trick, play a clubtohand,and lead the spade queen with an illegal furtive look. They would hope that West, with the doubleton spade king (or ace), would put up his honor. It might work, but should not.

South has one legitimate possibility: 6nding clubs 3-3 and either opponent with a singleton trump honor. After winning the first trick, declarer plays a club to his ace, cashes the club king, and overtakes his club jack with dummy's queen. Then he leads the 13th club and pitches his heart loser. Either East or West may ruff but it costs one of the defense's two trump tricks. South loses only two spades and one diamond.

The French call this "le coup de Eagonie."

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, ITMAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IFYOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NBS Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 07/31/2012as Document No.: 2012010043, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Tuolumne County, California, executed by: SEAN EDEN HISER AND MARGARET L. HISER, HUSBAND AND WIFE, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier's check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust.

Sale Date & Time: 08/21/2015 at 09:00 AM Sale Location: Tuolumne County Administration Center, 2 S. Green St., Sonora, CA 95370 Front Entrance The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 17170 COVER RANCH RD, TUOLUMNE, CA 95379 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an "AS IS" condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, underthetermsof the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $355,621.77 (Estimated) as of 08/13/2015. Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

49ers eyenew deal with Smith SANTA CLARA (AP) — San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke says the 49ers have had preliminary discussions with linebacker Aldon Smith and his agent to let them know the team would like to keep him beyond this season.

Smith is entering a contract year after missing nine games in 2014 serving an NFL suspension for violations of the league's substanceabuse and personalconduct policies.

In spring 2014, the 49ers exercised their 2015 option for Smith, but Baalke made it clear they would be no-nonsense regarding his off-field issues. Then this past March, Smith restructured his contract into a more incentiveladen, team-friendly deal that gives the 49ers room if he were to get in legal trouble again.

Baalke, speaking in an impromptu session with reporters at Levi' s Stadium, says bringing back tight end Vernon Davis also is a focus.

OUTDOOI5 Deught could hurt endangered fish caught in water fight DIXON (AP) — California's historic drought could wipe out a tiny, endangered fish that's played an out sized role in the state's water wars.

The delta smelt lives in the Sacramen&San Joaquin River Delta, the West Coast's largestestuary that supplies water to Central Valley farms and millions of Southern California residents.

The silvery, finger-sized fish has been in trouble foryears,butthe four-year drought is helping to push the smelt to the brink of extinction. And it threatens several other native fish species, including the longfin smelt, green sturgeon and winter-run Chinook salmon.

In July, a key index of delta smelt abundance hit zero for the first time since the survey began in 1959.

Researchers found a handful of smelt, but the number was too small to register on the population gauge.

On a recent fish survey, Peter Moyle, a fish biologist at the University of California, Davis and three other researcherstrawled theturbid waters of the sprawling estuary that once teemed with the delta smelt.

They pulled a net out of the water and emptied dozens of fish into a plastic bin on their research boat.

They logged and tossed back 13 species, including carp,crappie, catfish and stripedbass — but nodelta smelt.

Colts hoping Gore can spark ground game ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) — Frank Gore came to Indianapolis to win a championship.

The Colts necked him to get their running game off the ground.

Now it's time for this seemingly perfect combination to produce results.

"I am happy to be here. I wanted to be here as a &ee agent. I'm here to come and do the best that I can and be the best player that I can be in every phase of the game: blocking, catching and running," Gore said afterTuesday morning's workout.

THOMPSON Continued from PageC1 of it is Del Rio, a geyser of energy that splashes every room he's in. It's a stark con-

trast from last year's camp leader, Dennis Allen, who reeked of insecurity as his job hung in the balance. Del Rio's energy feeds the ambition that comes with the start of every new season.

It feels as if the Raiders, drunk ofF their new coaches' zeal, really believe that this year will be difFerent.

possess the upside of younger, cheaper running backs, he certainly provides the Colts with something they' ve been lacking — a known commodity.

Coach Chuck Pagano has preached the importance of power football &om the moment he arrived in 2012.

But while Gore excelled as the lynchpin in San Francisco, the Colts kept going through players. Donald Brown leR in &ee agency, Vick Ballard and Ahmad Bradshaw finished the past two seasons on injured reserve and Trent Richardsonfl amed out.

The results didn't change much, either.

Indy still hasn't produced a 1,000yardrunner since 2007,the year after it won the Super Bowl. And Ballard's 814-yardseason in 2012 is the only time a Colts runner has topped 700 yards since their 2009 AFC championship season.

Now the Colts are asking the stocky, steadyGore to solvetheproblem. ''He's got great vision. He makes greatdecisions, great reads and he's very decisive," Pagano said.

It shows.

Since winning San Francisco's start ing job in 2006, Gore has topped the

tion against Kaepernick and ran it back about 30 yardsfora pick-6. Former Australian rugby league star Jarryd Hayne saw time with the first-team offense and made a 15-yard reception on a Kaepernick pass.

Boone was hoping for a little contact with new defensive tackle Darnell Dockett given their "old-time rivalry" during Dockett's time with the Cardinals, but they' re on different sides of the line.

Boone has moved &om right guard to leR guard, where he now works alongside veteran leR tadde Joe Staley. These two will be counted on for their experience and leadership on a new-look line.

"It'sdifFerent, " Boone said.

"I think the one thing people forget is that when you play next to somebody, especially in

such tight quarters like we do, you have to know that person really well. You have to know w hat they' re ~ g at a l l times. There has been some miscommunication and things like that, but at the end of the day we' re cleaning it up. It' s justpartofthe process.We 've got to keep playing together....

It's coming along pretty well."

The Raiders had the day ofF Tuesday, but they were singing the praises of Del Rio after practice Monday.

"He is a guy who played the game so his energy is what a football player would want it to be," running back Latavius Murray said. "He knows how to push us. He knows how to bringenergy to the practice field every day, knows what football players want to hear.

He's been in our shoes so we love the energy he brings."

Of course, it's always positive in August. The season is

a difference. But something is being injected into the Raiders. Call it passion.

A foam-at-the-mouth frenzy has marked the first week of practices.

It's not just Del Rio. New defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. is just as hype.

He doesn't move as quickly as he did when he was linebacking the Cowboys and 49ers to Super Bowl titles, but that doesn't mean he isn't jumping around as if he still wearspads, risking a muscle strain on those nearly 49-year-old legs.

long the season is for a good team. But maybe they know the Raiders aren't in position to flip a switch.

"I just love ball and I just know how to do it one way: a lot of energy and enthusiasm," Norton said. "If you love what you do, it's not work. You just wake up clapping and you go to work. This is what we do.

If you don't enjoy being here, you' re in the wrong place. We love ball."

The group deserves a better handle. Raiders of the Lost Season would be one of the few things worse than calling it a leadership council.

Still, the idea is noble. maybe a higherbar is being set.

Maybe Del Rio knows this team has to make up for limited talent with exceptional discipline and work ethic.

Maybe this is the foundation for being disciplined and resilient — and fast.

"I like the way the players are responding to the coaches," said G.M. Reggie McKenzie. "The energy is off the chain. It's looking the way I like it to look."

Something is being injected into the Raiders. But call it meaningless until it translates to wins.

with a wrist injury. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons (bruised thumb) missed his second straight game and is hoping to return by the end of the week.

First baseman Joey Terdoslavich and rookie right-hand-

er Ryan Kelly were recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Up next Giants: World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner (11-6, 3.39) will start for the Giants

in their final matchup with the Braves of the 2015 regular season. Bumgarner is 4-0 with a 2.30 ERA in his last fivestartsagainsttheBraves.

Braves: Rookie Williams Perez (4-1, 4.14) gets his second start against the Giants on Wednesday. He threw seven shutout innings, giving up four hits, in an 8-0 Braves win at San Francisco on May 30.

Now you have it, now you don' t Braves leftfielder Eury Perez had an eventful fifth inning. One pitch after making adiving grab ofBrandon Crawford's line drive, he tried to repeat the feat on Ehire Adrianza.

When he came up from his second dive, he held his glove up for a moment thinking he had made the catch, but the ball had come out of his glove when he hit the ground and rolled into foul territory. Adrianza was given a double on the play.

Streaking Posey extended his road hitting streak to 16 games with a ninth-inning single.

He also had a sacrifice fly, two walks and two runs scored...

Peavy saw his modest threegame hitting streak end with two groundouts.
