After trying to contact the original owners and finding the number had been disconnected, Joslin called the Army Corps of Engineers and requestedthat it be removed.

Progressive, the i n surance company associated with the car, called Sam Berri Towing out of Douglas Flat to remove it.

The extraction took several hours on Thursday.

Hotel plan discussed, cell tower endorsed

By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

The developers behind a controversial apartment com-

plex proposal in Columbia that was ultimately scrapped are now exploring the possibilityofconstructing a shopping center and hotel near the same location.

The Tuolumne County Airport Land Use Commission on Thursday evening met at Columbia Airport with Gary Simning of RC Equities to discuss whether it would be feasible to include a multistory hotel in plans for a potential commercial center at

the northeast corner of Highway 49 and Parrotts Ferry Road.

State and federal health officials are investigating a case of human plague that may have originated in the Stanislaus National Forest, Yosemite National Park and unspecif ied surrounding areas.

Assessments have been conducted at locations including the forest's popular Rainbow Pool picnic area and the Crane Flat campground in Yosemite, Park Service and Forest Service officials said Thursday in phone interviews.

A child from Los Angeles County who visited the Stanislaus National Forest and camped at Crane Flat in midJuly became ill and was hospitalized, stateDepartment of Public Health officials said in an announcement Thursday.

Nobody else got sick or reported symptoms, public health officials said. The child is recovering.

Humane Socie makes progress on shelter plans

By JASON COWAN The Union Democrat

While driving through Mountain Ranch Road in San Andreas, it's difficult to miss the number of trailer modules sitting atop the hills near

• e ,

'i

the county government offices.

The modules could pass for small schools of some sort. They are home to Calaveras County Animal Control and the current animal shelter.

As of Wednesday, it is also where the Calaveras Humane Society relocated.

The move itself may not be considered gargantuan in distance, coming from down the road on East Saint Charles Street, but the society's ambition just might be, according to Calaveras Humane Society Executive Director Anne Ellis.

As part of a public-private partnership with the county, the Humane Society intends to build an animal shelter on land that was designated for assignment by the county last December.

It'sprobably the largest task the Humane Societyhas ever taken on, said Ellis. It could even be one of the largest tasks the county has seen — right in line with the Bret Harte Aquatic Center.

However, in the funding of the two enterprises lies one main difference — although both, once the shelter is completed, will have been privately funded, the aquatic centerreceived a grant donation.Ellis does not think the Humane Society will receive such a luxury.

"Unfortunately, the county is so rural and population is so small, we can't qualify for any grants. We do try to qualify for grants but very rarely get them," said Ellis. "Most of our donations come from private donors."

The new shelter, a complex that is rumored tofall between 8,000 and 11,000-square-f eet and willbe used by the Humane Society and

"The areas where the animals will be kept will be so that it is as stressfree for the animals that live there," said Ellis.

After settling the initial planning process and beginning the capital campaign, Ellis thinks the Humane Society, which has already accumulated $600,000 toward the project, will begin to generate donations at a more rapid pace. ''We need to get something that peoplecan digest before the donations come in," Ellis said.

It was not uncommon, on any given day, for friends to stop by and fill up gallons of the plentiful water, which tested pure, from the well.

H owever, there was a problem — the well, a shallow one, at 50 feet in depth, when compared others that range anywhere between 300 feet-and-900feet,tended to struggle during periods of signifi cant dryness. Wetzel firstexperienced issues during the drought in the 1990s but still had enough water output to provide for a garden.

Then, last fall, the well began to suck air.

The owner of businesses that drill wells throughout Calaveras County said the drought has impacted those that depend on wells as a major sourceof water, and business has significantly in-

Bob Croft, owner of PumpCo, a San Andreas-based company that works with well pumps, water-treatment systems, Kohler whole-house generatorsand serves all of Calaveras County, said that he has seen problems and drought-related issues within the community.

"If there is a need and we see the data supports moving forward, that's something we' ll present to the Board of Su-

creased as a result.

Jason Boetzer, newly appointed environmental administrator of the Environmental Agency, said of the 133 new well permits issued this past fiscal year, two came as a result of dryness and 19 were because of low output.

Boetzer said he thinks the county is seeing increased activity ,justnot at the same rate as others.

Wetzel had paid to install a 2,400-gallon tank in his yard in case of emergency almost six years ago. The tank, which had less than 100 gallons left on July 31 and was refilled last Saturday for the third time since the well dried out,provides potable water that the family uses for everything but drinking.

For drinking water, Wetzel turns to his neighbors. Every two to three weeks, he travels a mile down the road to fill 60 gallon containers of liquid from someone who is con-

In the interim, Wetzel, who said he lives outside of local water district jurisdictions in Murphys, will stick with his current conservation routine

When told about the donated tablets, Nanik said he had not heard of the project.

"In general,it's a great idea andgives a number of kids the opportunity to get their hands on some tutoring that they wouldn't receive otherwise," he said. "But there are 130 foster kids in the county — 45 under age 5. That still leaves 95 kids for 10 tablets."

But the relatively small donation from Civic Developers Inc. has proven to be just

the right amount.

When the tablets arrived at Calaveras County Human Services, child welfare case workers were asked to review theirrecords to determine which school-age children, living with foster parents, did not own tablets. ''We came up with 12, but two are siblings," said Mikey Habbestad, child welfareservices program manager.

as well. Randy worked as an apprentice for Wayne Tune and Jim and Gary Roberson before he wasable to start Randy Williams Plumbing in 1986. Randy was able to employ many workers during his time as abusiness owner, all of whom he has had a lasting impact on. Through his work ethic and commitment to his craft he developed relationships with his employees, fellow contractors and customers that were equivocal to that of family.

It was after work and on weekends when Randy would tend to livestock on his family ranch in Tuolumne, taking advantage of any teachable moment for his girls to learn alongside him. Eventually he was able to turn his family ranch into a family business; The Crobar Land and Cattle Company.

In addition to work and ranch responsibilities Randy still found ways to enjoy what the wilderness had to offer.

From an early age his parents' and grandparents' traditions in fishing and hunting in the Hoover Wilderness

captivated his spirit. Although he managed to bag his record-book elk that is still proudly on display in his home, hunting was much more about the ritual of the hunt and filling the freezer with meat than the trophy. His deep respect for the balance of wildlife motivated him to become a Life Member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and consistently engage himself in literature on the topic.

As busy as working, ranching and hunting kept him, Randy always made time to be present for his family, friends and community. He rarely missed one of his daughters' extracurricular activities, and went to as many nieces and nephews sporting events as he could. Randy would drop whatever he was doing if one of his friends called or showed up to carry on a conversation. He regularly traveled with his wife to places like Italy, Canada, Mexico, Alaska, Costa Rica, Hawaii and a list of other destinations in the US.

Randy Williams Plumbing donated to Summerville High School Football and was always happy to buy a local 4-H or FFA animal at the fair. Randy's most prevalent community commitment was his membership with the Tuolumne

County Sheriff's Posse beginning in 1993 of which he was Captain in 2001.

He took pride in helping the posse put on the annual Mother Lode RoundUp Parade and Rodeo pulling chutes, wrangling mutton and serving beer. He loved his posse family and was proud to be a member.

With each role that Randy played in his life, the integrity of his character never wavered.

Randy was a loyalhusband, father and friend. He was a man of few words, but when he did speak everyone around him would listen, knowing what he said would be meaningful. He was a quiet, gentle man that loved his family,

friends and animals. He worked hard, played hard and had "no regrets."

Murphys resident Bob Wetzel measures how much water he has left in his 2,400-gallon potable water tank, which costs $270 to refill.

A public Celebration of Life Service for Randy will be held at Sierra Bible,' )~' * Church in Sonora on Saturday, August 8th at 2pm. Bring a favorite memory and dessert to share.

IlQ I'l ail 0 IQIlS Debra J. Saunders More than 200,000people have signed a petition asking the White House to cooperate with efforts to "extradite Walter Palmer" — the Minneapolis-area dentist who killed Cecil the lion — "promptly at the Zimbabwe government's request." According to reports, Palmer

and/or his hunting guides lured the beloved lion out of a game reserve. Palmer then shot Cecil with a crossbow; the wounded lion lived for another 40 hours before he was dispatched with a bullet.

I have to assume that those who want Palmer extradited don't know much about Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe or his sorry human rights record.

Mugabe, 91, has run Zimbabwe into the ground since he was first elected in 1980. Early on, he decided to bring the country under one-party rule. His Fifth Brigade wiped out political opposition in two provinces. By 1985, Mugabe's Gukurahundi campaign had left some 20,000 civilians dead.

Since those bloody days, Mugabe has used intimidation and brute force to hold on to power. In 2008, a rival who won more votes in the first round of the presidential election than Mugabe backed out of the runoff after security forces killed more than 200 of his supporters.

Last year, Mugabe sacked his vice president and other Cabinet members, leading many to suspect he wants his wife, Grace, to succeed him. Dirty dynasty.

In the 2000s, Mugabe allowed vigilante gangs to displace white farmers and ranchers.

There were no careful land reforms, just severe food shortages as livestock owners slaughtered their remaining animals, and crony beneficiaries ofHarare's land distribution program didn't know how to farm. The New Yorker's Philip Gourevitch described the mayhem: "Comrade Mugabe is clinging to power, and taking his country down with him."

During last month's speech at the African Union, President Barack Obama declared, "Nobody should be president for life." Who doubted that Mugabe topped Obama's list?

The disdain is mutual.

After the U.S. Supreme Court sanctioned same-sex marriage, Mugabe joked he would go to Washington, get down on one knee and ask Obama for his hand in marriage.

In March, The Washington Post reported, a supporter killed a baby elephant for Mugabe's $1 million birthday bash, where the 20,000 guests dined on two elephants and other wildlife. The host bagged and mounted a lion and a crocodile as birthday trophies. Mugabe used the occasion to rail against "white" safaris.

The White House cannot cooperate with Zimbabwe on Palmer's extradition. It would be a human rights outrage to hand over the dentist to Zimbabwe's jaded courts. And it would be a farce; Zimbabwe, after all, charges hunters $50,000 to bag a lion.

Palmer failed to do so cleanly. For that, he bears the blame. The dentist claimed in a statement: "I had no idea that the lion I took was a known, local favorite, was collared and part of a study until the end of the hunt. I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt." (Maybe that' s true and the guides are at fault. Maybe not.

Palmer did plead guilty in 2008 for making a false statement to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about where he had killed a black bear.)

The court of public opinion will take care of Palmer. Sadly, there is little such outrage for Robert Mugabe, who suspended lion, elephant and leopard hunting temporarily. With the death of one lion, inexplicably, he has won a moment of respectability.

GUEST COLUMN

Ferron rewarded for going along corruption California consumers can be excused if they' re beginning to wonder whether Gov. Jerry Brown cares a whit about blatantly corrupt conduct by some of his appointees to very high stateoffices.

That feeling grew more intense recently with th e appointment of Mark Ferron to t he governing board of t h e state's Independent System Operator, which manages the electric grid serving all of this state and part of Nevada. Essentially, its job is to keep the lights on, with a major voice in what kinds of power generation California will use.

Why should th e a ppointment of Ferron, a former managing director of the Londonbased Global Markets Division of Deutsche Bank, ring alarm bells?

It's because Brown previously put Ferron, a 56-year-old resident of bucolic Mill Valley in Marin County, on the troubled state Public Utilities Commission in 2011, about two years afterhe left his former job in England. While Ferron professeslove for California, he's spent most of his working life elsewhere.

Ferron served three years on the five-member PUC, whose members get five-year terms and cannot be r emoved even

by the governor who appoints them. He resigned early last year to deal with a serious case of prostate cancer, but during his tenure cast no votes dis-

He was part of the commission when it went easy on Pa-

cific Gas & Electric Co. over the 2010 San Bruno natural gas pipeline explosion, which led to the company's indictment for criminal negligence.

He failed to dissent on the thoroughlydiscredited deal by which consumers will pay most decommissioning costs of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, even though the facility's closure was caused

by Southern California Edison Co. decisions the company knew were flawed before it acted on them.

He voted for every proposed solar thermal project that came before him, essentiall y endorsing hugely expensive desert-based solar panel arraysoverfarless costly rooftop solar.

A Sheriff's Office press release said at 2:52 a.m.

Tuesday, Calaveras County Sheriff's deputies initiated a traf5c stop on a truck that

was crossing double-solidyellow lines.

Deputies said the vehicle droveintheopposing lane at

speeds over 70 mph.

The truck driver eventually pulled into a driveway in the 12000 block of Pattison Road in Burson and "lost control into a marijuana cultivationsite," the press release states.

James Milton Buckley Jr., 37, wasarrested for failing to yield.

Deputies conducted a search of his vehicle and reportedlyfound about 1.16 pounds of methamphetamine.

A search warrant for the

property,allegedly rented

by Buckley Jr., was then secured and served.

A second person, Michael Ray Bailey, 34, was found on the property and arrested forfailingtoregisterasa sex offender.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Renowned violinist Roman Totenberg left his beloved Stradivarius in his office while greeting well-wishers after a concert in 1980. When he returned, it was gone.

Its case was later found in the basement of the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he taught. But Totenberg, who died three years ago at age 101, never saw the instrument again.

Totenberg thought he knew who stole the violin, but there was never enough evidence to pursue a suspect.

The trail went cold until this June, when his eldest daughter, Nina Totenberg,gota phone callfrom an FBI agent.

The agent said he was looking at the violin, which was infederalcustody.

"I really could hardly believe it at the time," Nina Totenberg, the legal affairs correspondent for NPR, told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. "I said, 'I have to call my sisters. Fll tell them not to get their hopes up,' but he said, You don't have to do that. This is the violin."'

Her passion and devotion was with children and animals. It made her "feel alive" to give a pony to a little girl or to haveherniecesand nephews come to the ranch and seethe newborn foalsorcalves. She would teach them how to feed and care for animals but more importantly she taught them a respect and love for animals that was paramount and part of her being. One of her many pastimes was throwing birthday parties at the ranch for anyone. She made each and everyone she touched feel like the most important person to her. She loved to give back to her community fully supporting the Mother Lode Fair Junior Livestock Auction and the National WildTurkey Federation benefit dinner each year. She loved flowers and had a beautiful rose garden.

Shawna is survived by her husband, Michael "Steven" Baker of Jamestown; her three children, Laney Breann Hutchins of Oakdale, Michael "Logan" Baker of Jamestown and LanceGarrett Baker of Jamestown. She always included her children's significant others I.C. Wilson of Oakdale, Jennifer Oakham of Jamestown and Karley Coffee of Jamestown.

LIMA, Peru — Ecuadorean opposition activist Dr. Carlos Figueroa was being pursued by the state when his email and Facebook accounts were hacked. Several dozen of his colleagues have similarly had their digital lives violated. All blamed President Rafael Correa's government, but no one had proof.

The Associated Press has found compelling evidence that Figueroa was indeed hacked by Ecuador's domestic intelligence agency, with software tailor-made by an Italy-based company called Hacking Team that outfits governments with d i gital break-in tools.

That would tag Figueroa as the first publicly identified target from a catalog of more than 1 million company emails stolen by an unknown hacker and leaked online last month.

Egypt unveils Suez Canal extension plan ISMAILIA, Egypt (AP) — In a defining moment of his young presidency, Egypt's Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi presided Thursday over the unveiling of a major extension of the Suez Canal that he hailed as a historic feat needed to revive the country's ailing economy after years

"Egyptians have made a huge effort so astogive humanity this gift for development and construction," el-Sissi said,hiswords interrupted at times by the horns of container ships using the new extension — a sound that brought a smile to his face and cheers from those

Upbeat and clearly relishing the pomp-filled occasion, el-Sissi nevertheless conceded that the $8.5 billion project will not bring a quick economic windfall to a country roiled by violence and unrest since 2011. Its completion, he said, was but the first of a 1,000-step journey Egyptians must take toward

Playing into his hands is a clear shift by many Egyptians away from the need for democratic freedoms and toward economic survival as a top priority — not surprising in a country where nearly half the population is below or hovering just above the poverty line.

Carburetor problems cause of plane crash LOS ANGELES (AP) — A problem with a carburetor part led to engine failure and the crash of a vintage airplane piloted by actor Harrison Ford in California earlier this year, federal investigators said Thursday.

The part known as a main metering jet likely came loose over the years since the World War IIera craft w a s r e stored,

the National Transportation Safety Board said.

The problem allowed too much fuel to flow, resulting in a loss of engine power.

Ford had just taken off from Santa Monica Airport on March 5 when he reported engine failure at an altitude of1,100 feet and requested an immediate return.

In an interview with the lead NTSB investigator,Ford "stated that he did not attempt an engine restart but maintained an airspeed of 85 mph and initiated a left t urn back toward t h e airport; however, during the approach, he realized that the airplane was unable to reach the runway.

The pilot did not recall anything further about the accident sequence."

The single-engine Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR struck a tree and crashed on a golf course about 800 feet from the runway, injuring the actor who was 72 at the time and turned 73 last month. No one on the ground was hurt.

The NTSB found that an improperly installed shoulder harness likely contributed to the severity of Ford's injuries, which were never detailed.

Ford, wh o r e ceived his pilot's license in the 1990s, was c onscious and able to talk to rescue crews who transported him to a hospital. The actor's son Ben tweeted

just after the crash that his fatherwas "battered" but OK.

Trump combative School board to interview candidates at first GOP debate

PUBLIC MEETING: Summerville Union High School District Board ofTrustees special meeting, 6:30 p.m. Monday, school library, 17555TuolumneRoad,Tuolumne.

By SEAN CARSON The Union Democrat

Imagine having an interview in front of anaudience,then watching your employersdebate your merits.

That is what will happen Monday when the Summerville Union High School Board of Trustees chooses a new board member, and conducts the entire process before the public.

"I' ve never seen this done before," said Superintendent Robert Griffith.

"I'm sure there won't be fireworks," he said, but added that the interview process is an important demonstration of how a board should function — conducting its business before the public.

Five candidates will read statements and answer questions &om the board.

The board will then hear public comment before deliberating the selection.

Whoever the board selects will be sworn in on the spot and immediately assume theirplace atthe table for the rest of the meeting. They will serve until November 2016, at which point they will have a chance to run on the ballot foran additional term.

The board decided in July to go with the publicinterview process,over a time-consuming and potentially costly election, when former President Carrie Ashe resigned.

Ashe, who cited "personal reasons"

forthe resignation,was accused ofviolations to the state's public meeting law and inappropriate behavior on the Summerville campus relating to a relationship with a teacher.

"There's a lot of judgement that' s been going on back and forth," said board candidate Jack Pool. "But this really isn't about that. It's about investing in kids and to support education."

Pool, 64, is a licensed marriage and family therapist with experience counseling at multiple Tuolumne County schools and a history in teaching. He founded and directs the Columbine Counseling Center in Twain Harte. His two youngest sons attended Summerville High.

Another candidate is Nancy Hoyt, 55, a teacher at Belleview Elementary School, with more than 20 years in education at Tuolumne County schools. She alsohas 20 years volunteer experience with the Tuolumne County chapter of Omega Nu, an organization that helps county students.

Hoyt said she witnessed a similar interviewprocessatBelleview.

"I think it's getting more transparent and traditional these days," she said.

Candidate Bryan Tarter, 43, said he has some rough notes put together for Monday, but working 10 to 12 hour days has kept him from finishing his prepared statement.

Tarter is the owner of Sierra Brush and Snow Removalin Tuolumne and has two sons who will attend the high school.

He served as president for both the Ponderosa Homeowner's Associa-

tion and the Tuolumne County Youth Football League.

"I have about eight years ahead of me at that school," said Tarter. "One of my sons will be a freshman and the other is going there in three years. I want to be a different and younger voice than everybody else."

The following candidates could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Spring Maddox, 35, a registered nurse at Sonora Regional Medical Center,has four years experience as president of the Summerville Elementary School Board of Trustees and is now a member of the school's Parent-TeacherStudent Association. Her children are future Summerville Union High School students, and she is an alumni.

Janette Herrera, 32, has lived with her family in the school district for nine years and has a son entering ninth grade at the schoolthisyear.Herrera is a Columbia College student in a teaching-preparation program. She also volunteers with children's programs at Sierra Bible Church in Sonora and served on the Twain Harte School parent committee for nine years.

On Monday, the board will also hear public comment on the 2015-16 budget and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) — a list of goals that is tiedtostate funding.

The budget, LCAP, and candidate applications are all available to view on the district website.

Also at Thursday's meeting, the commission endorsed a conditional-use permit for Verizon W ireless to construct an 80-footcelltower at the southeast corner of Avenue and Microtronics Way in the Standard area.

It wouldreplace a 20-foot cell tower near the same location previously owned by Golden State Cellular before the company was purchased by Verizon.

Laird said the new tower would provide better coverage and increased wireless Internet speedsfor customers in the area. He added that the tower would be located behind a building and hidden from view offC Avenue.

The Tuolumne County Planning Commission will ultimately decide whether to issue the permit for the tower at a meeting in September or October, Laird said. Any decision by the commission can also be appealed to the Board of Supervisors.

Compassion urged

by Pope for divorced Catholics who remand NEW YORK (AP) — Pope Francis' call Wednesday for a church of"open doors" that welcomes divorced Catholics prompted speculation over whether he was signaling support for easing the ban onCommunion forcouples who remarry without a church annulment.

The issue is at the center of an extraordinarily public debate among cardinals &om around the world who will gather this October at the Vatican for a synod, or meeting, on the family, where treatment of such couples will be a key topic.

"He wants the church to get over a psychology that if you' re divorced and remarried that you' re a lesser Catholic," said Phillip Thompson, executive director of the Aquinas Center of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta. "But it doesn'taddress the real issue of what is the path forward for Catholics who want to enter into full communion with the church."

Under Catholic teaching, unless a marriage is annulled, or declared null and void by a church tribunal, those who remarry can-

'They are the ones who suffer the most in these situations," the pope said.

"How will we be able to recommend to these parents to do their utmost to educate their children in the Christian life, giving them the

or Capitulation?" and an opponent of any change in church practice on the issue, said Francis' comments Wednesday indicate "he kind of leans in the direction of 'Let's loosen our discipline on this."'

"He is not a systematic thinker. I don't think he sits down and works this all out.

I think he follows his heart.

I think he says things in a way he thinks will be inspirational or helpful and then we can work that all out later," Hitchcock said.

Dennis Doyle, a theologian at the University of Dayton, a Marianist school in Ohio, said it's not possible to conclude from the pope's remarks whether any change will emerge from the October assembly.

By speaking so emphatically Wednesday, Francis clearly wants to stoke a discussion about how to address a problem he sees as urgent, Doyle said.

Communion.

The pope, speaking at his weekly general audience at the Vatican, underscored Catholic teaching on divorced Catholics who remarry without an annulment, saying, "the church knows well that such a situation contradicts the Christian sacrament." But he em-

phasized, "these people are not at all excommunicated."

"They always belong to the church," Francis said.

The church, he said, must be one of "open doors."

Francis praised pastors who have shown "a fraternal

practiced faith, if we hold them at a distance from the life of the community, as if they were excommuni-

cated?"

The question of how to translate that compassion into a real world policy has split the cardinals and others in the church. One faction hasargued for creating a process by which such Catholics can formally repent of theiractions so they can be once again allowed to receive Communion.

Opponents see a danger to this approach and warn it will undermine church teaching overall on marriage.

Giants'

NAPA (AP) — Trent Richardson looked at his opportunity in Oakland as a freshstart after the onceheralded running back prospect struggledfor two years in Indianapolis.

So missing the first week of training camp because of a bout with pneumonia wasn't exactly the best way to impress his new team.

Richardson practiced with the Raiders for the first time this summer after being taken off the non-football illness list Thursday. The coaching staff

threw him right into the mix, giving him second-team snaps in a padded practicethat featured Richardson delivering a few hard hits of his own to defenders.

"Itfeelsgood,"Richardson said.

"It's probably been the most eager I've been to go to practice for a long time. It's been a long time coming for me. I haven't been out there practicing."

Richardson said he first started feeling sick a few weeks ago and then was diagnosed with pneumonia shortly

before arriving in Napa for training camp. The coaches and training staff told him to recover fully before returning to the practice field.

Richardson was able to run on the side the past few days and get plenty of time in his playbook while waiting to recover.

"I just wanted to be out there with my guys," he said. "Everybody is and we' re growing together. I felt like I was missing time on that. I was going hard See RAIDERS / Page C2

By the time he settled down, it was too late.

R ookie s l ugger Ky l e Schwarber homered in his second consecutive game, and the Chicago Cubs beat San Francisco 5-4 Thursday night.

The Cubs, playing meaningful baseball in August for the first time in years, won for the seventh time in eight games. They also moved a half-game ahead of the Giants in the race for the second NL wild card.

Jorge Soler drove in the first two runs with a basesloaded single in the first inning, and Schwarber made it 5-0 with a three-run drive off Heston (11-6) in the second — his first homer at Wrigley Field.

Worrell wins 100 fly at US nationals; Vollmer 4th SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Michael Phelps is eager to see where he stacks up against the world at the U.S. national championships.

Kelsi Worrell got her answer Thursday night: She's suddenly emerged as an Olympic contender with the Rio Games just a year away.

With Phelps on the sideline for the opening day of the meet, Worrell grabbed the spotlight by winning the women's 100-meter butterfly with a time that would have been good enough for a bronze medal at the FINA world championships in Kazan, Russia.

Worrell kept up her breakout year by touching the wall in 57.27 seconds, which wouldhave put her ahead of the third-place finisher at worlds, Lu Ying of China in 57.48.

"I just wanted to keep getting better and working on the little things," said Worrell, who won an NCAA title in March and added a Pan Am Games gold just three weeks ago. "It's weird.

I' ve never done two big meets back to back. It went by really fast. I felt really good.I' m excited to see what the rest of the week will bring."

Defending Olympic champion and former world-record holder Dana Vollmer finished fourth in 5 8.94, though she was hardly disappointed with that performance. She has her first child just five months ago and was competing in only her second meet since returning to the pool.

"I' ve only been back in the water for three months, so I' ll take a 58," she said, before hustling off to meet her husband and son, Arlen, who watched therace&om a spotalongsidethepool.

Vollmer won the gold medal in

it also lit a fire. I like chasing people.

So to have her break that record, insteadoftrying to fend her off,Igetto chase her."

Phelps didn't compete on the first day of the national championships, a meet he was forced to take after he was banned from the worlds as part of his punishment for his second drunken-driving arrest. He' ll compete in the 200 fl y on Friday,followed by the 200 individualmedley and 100 fl y before he's done in San Antonio.

He has made it clear he wants to put up times that would have given him gold medals if he was competing in Kazan.

Another Olympic champion, Allison London, but her world record was Schmitt, struggled to a sixth-place snatched away at worlds by Sweden's showing in the 400 freestyle. She Sarah Sjostrom, who broke the mark couldn't maintain her speed over the in a semifinal heat, then took it even final two laps and finished more than lower (55.64) in the final. a body length behind winner Lindsay "I knew it was coming. But when Vrooman. my husband told me, I didn't expect Vrooman won in 4 minutes, 7.88 the instant tears," Vollmer said. "But seconds, while Schmitt has a lot of

work to do heading into an Olympic year after posting a 4:09.59.

At the 2012 London Olympics, Schmitt took silver in the 400 free at 4:03.31, won the 200 &ee, and fi nished with five medals in all, making her one of the biggest stars of the games. But she has struggled since then, failing to qualify for the last two world championships before finally revealing that she was struggling with depression.

"I still feel confident in that event," said Schmitt, noting that she's improved about 9 seconds on the time she posted last summer in the 400 &ee. "It's going in the right direction.

But there's a lot of work to be put in over the next year."

Other winners on Thursday were

Caitlin Leverenz in the 200 individual medley, the event she captured bronze in at the London Olympics; Zane Grothe in the men's 400 free; Andrew Wilson in the men's 100 breaststroke; and Gunnar Bentz in the men's 400 IM.

BRIEFS Young wins Stage 4 sprint at Tour of Utah HEBER VALLEY, Utah — Eric Young beat Dion Smith in a sprint finish to win Stage 4 of the Tour of Utah on Thursday, while Jure Kocjan finished third and took over the yellow jersey as overall leader.

The peloton pulled back an early breakaway during the 127-mile stage from Soldier Hollow, and Young's Optum team positioned him well for the uphill finish.

Kiel Reijnen had held the overall lead since Stage 1. He lost 14 seconds on the day.

Stage 5 on Friday is the familiar Salt Lake City Circuit, which takes riders on seven loops totaling 55 miles through the city. But there is additional climbing on the circuit this year that could shake up the overall standings heading into the weekend.

Heston, tops among major league rookies in wins, went four innings and took the loss after going 5-0 in his previous eight starts for San Francisco.

"I painted myself in a corner a few times and had to make better pitches than I needed to," Heston said. "It was just nibble, nibble, fall into hitters'

There's no pretending that Berto It wasn't enough to pocket $220 is much of a challenge. He has lost million for a fight against Manny three ofhis last six fights,two of Pacquiao that could never live up them to fighters that Mayweather to the hype that preceded it. May- easily beat. About the best thing weather has jets to fuel and cars to anyone in the promotion can say buy and, really, who couldn't use an- about Berto is that he's aggressive,

and may actually try to hit Mayweather.

That was reflected at the Westgate LV sports book on Wednesday, where Mayweather was a staggering 40-1favorite.Not one bet had been placed, even with the chance to reap a small fortune should Berto somehow find a way to win.

That's all on Mayweather. He hand picks his opponents, and for this fight he passed over England' s Amir Khan and Keith Thurman, among others who might actually give him a fight. For a fighter who believeshe is the best ever,it's an odd and anti-climactic way to end a

Dahlberg

career, assuming that career is actu-

ally ending.

Still, there might be reasons to buy this pay-per-view. This is boxing, after all, a sport where the bizarre sometimes seems normal.

Such as: • M ayweather forg ets to tie the laces on his boxing shoes and trips while walking into the ring, hitting his head on Justin Bieber's micro-

phone. By the time he can think clearly again, Berto is celebrating a firstround knockout and wondering if Mayweather can make him a deal on a used Bugatti.

• Mayweather's usual pedicurist calls in sick the morning of the fight, and the replacement digs a bit too deeply into his big toe. Mayweather tries to stick and move, but is so hobbled that he can't run at all. Berto wins a unanimous decision, then pops Bieber in the nose just for good measure.

• Fed up with watching bad fights from the corner, Floyd Sr. urges his son to trade punches with Berto no matter what happens. "Forget what I said about people not knowing anything about boxing," he tells him. "You need to give them a good show at least once."

OK, so maybe there really isn't a way forBerto to win.Maybe boxing fans should just treat this for what it is — a glorified exhibition that will make Mayweather even more millions while completing his six-

fight deal with Showtime and making him a free agent should he decide — as most assume he will — to fight on at some point.

It will also put him in the conversation with Rocky Marciano, the heavyweight champion who retired at 49-0 in 1956. That's something that matters to Mayweather, if only because he truly believes — and the sycophants around him keep telling him — that he's the greatest fighter ever.

That's preposterous on a number of levels, but let Mayweather believe what he wants. He's earned that right, winning every one of his 48 fights since turning pro 19 years ago.

Boxingfans,though, have a few rights of their own. And on Sept.

12 they'dbe wise to exercise them by resisting the urge to reach into their wallets to watch this stinker of a fight.

NOTICES

The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation.

They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h Ouniondemocrat.corn

Mom's callous reaction should be overlooked DEAR ANNIE: About three years ago, I did something very stupid. I looked at a solar eclipse. I thought it would last only a minute and, not wanting to miss it, I ran outside and squinted at it through my sunglasses.

I fully acknowledge that I can only blame myself for that. The next days and weeks were some of the scariest of my life. My vision became blurry and I had a hard time focusing. I feared that I might not recover my sight and that my center of vision might always be skewed because I had looked directly

ing everything. It was frustrating and confusing. Why would she deny that I was having a medical problem? Why would she take a position that could only hurt our relationship?

Lastweek,during an eyeexam, the doctor noticed a spot and diagnosed me with atextbook caseofsolarm aculopat the sun. athy. I passed this confirmation along ThanjduHy, my vision gradually re- to my mother, but even now, she won' t covered. But one thing about this epi- acknowledge how wrong, and in some sode has left me deeply troubled. When ways cruel, her denial and indifI'erence I thought I would be permanently were. blinded, I needed love and support.

In my right eye, I have a dark spot However, my mother quickly became that follows wherever I look. I' ve grown convinced that I was faking it. She in- used to it, but it is a constant reminder sisted that none of it was real, it was of this troubling episode. Am I wrong all in my head and I was just imagin- to continue feeling hurt? Or does this

reveal something about our relationship and her moral character? — S. DEAR S.:Denial is a very powerful emotion. It allows someone like your mother to refuse to believe that you have a serious problem and what it could mean to your future.She needed comfort, too, and this is where she found it.

Is Mom's behavior toward you otherwise close and loving? If so, we would put this in the past.

Continuing to dwell on the hurt will only make you bitter and will alienate the two of you, which we assume is not what you want.

DEAR ANNIE: I'd like to comment further on the letter &om "Shepherdsville, Ky.,"regardingpoorgrammar.

My pet peeves are those who say "pitcher" for "picture." In Wisconsin, numerous individuals say "youse guys" insteadof"you guys" and "liberry"for "library." And last, but not least, it irks

me when my husbandand Iare at a restaurant and the server asks, "What

can I get for you guys?" I am not a guy.

Iam farRom perfect,and maybe a little picky, but I Gnd these things very annoying. And I, too, feel better now after venting.— MISS PICKY IN WISCONSIN DEAR W I SCONSIN: You' re welcome. We all deal with small, trivial irritations on a daily basis.

Some people are more bothered by them thanothers,so we 'rehappy to help when you need to let off a little steam.

Platelet donations are perfectly safe for donor DEAR DR. ROACH: I am writing about platelet donations. As a way of giving back, I donate platelets. I was wondering if there is a time that a person should stop donating, based on age or dii5culty. I am 61 years old, antI the past three times I' ve donated, I felt uncomfortable in some way. Either my

arm or wrist hurt, or I had a feeling of

m alaise during the donating process.

One time, I was told that my platelet count was on the low side, but it was not any danger to my well-being. I feel well immediately afterward and do not have health issues, so my concern is whether this is somehow detrimental to my own health as I age.— S.B. ANSWER Platelet donation generally is a very well-tolerated procedure.The platelets are removed from the donor's blood via a process called apheresis; a centrifuge separates the blood into four components: plasma (containing proteins), platelets, white blood cells and red blood cells. For platelet donors, just the platelets are removed,and the rest of the blood components are returned to the donor.

In order to keep the blood &om clotting inside the machine, sodium citrateis added to the apheresis ma-

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband (63 years old) recently woke from sleep with an increased heart rate on two occasions, less than a week apart. After the first, where his rate hit 180 and fluctuated for a few hours, he visited our family physician. An EKG was normal, and my husband was scheduled for a Holter monitor 24-hour test.

chine. This reduces the calcium, which is needed for blood clotting. However, some people can develop symptoms of low calcium during the apheresis. This can be treated by slowing the rate of donation, or by taking some oral calcium before donating. More-severe cases might require giving intravenous calcium to the patient via another IV catheter.

The Food and Drug Administration

A second event occurred, and we went to the ER. His heart rate had already returned to normal, and an immediate EKG also was normal. His bloodwork and an echocardiogram also were normal. He was sent home and rescheduled for the Holter monitor. That was completed, and we are awaiting its results.

My husband consumes several cups of cof fee per day,and had spent some

Donate as often as is comfortable, and try taking a calcium supplement before donating.

each of the days he had an event.

Could caff'cine or dehydration be a possible cause of the palpitations and high heart rate? At my urging, he has limited his co6'ee intake to fewer cups and not past 6 p.m., and no events have occurred since the emergencyroom visit.— D.S. ANSWER: Both dehydration and caffeine can trigger an abnormally fast

heart rhythm, which can be sensed as palpitations. A heart rate of 180 is veryfastfor a 63-year-old man. While I agree with you completely about cutting back on the coffee (he may need to stop entirely, depending on the results of his tests) and would urge him to make sure he gets enough fluid, be sure that he follows up with his physician. Please let me know the results of the Holter (a wearable EKG that tests continually for 24-48 hours).

Today in history Today is Friday, August 7, the 219th day of 2015. There are 146 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On August 7, 1782, Gen. George Washington created the Order of the Purple Heart, a decoration to recognize merit in enlisted men and noncommissioned officers.

On this date: In 1882, the famous feud between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky erupted into full-scale violence.

In 1942, U.S. and other allied forces landed at Guadalcanal, marking the start of the first major allied offensive in the Pacific during World War II. (Japanese forces abandoned the island the following February.)

In 1959, the United States launched the Explorer 6 satellite, which sent back images of Earth.

In 1974, French stuntman Philippe Petit (fee-LEEP' pehTEET') repeatedly walked a tightrope strung between the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center.

In 1989, a plane carrying U.S. Rep. Mickey Leland, D-Texas, and 14 others disappeared over Ethiopia. (The wreckage of the plane was found six days later; there were no survivors.)

In 1990, President George H.W. Bush ordered U.S. troops and warplanes to Saudi Arabia to guard the oil-rich desert kingdom against a possible invasion

by Iraq.

In 1998, terrorist bombs at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed 224 people, including 12 Americans.

In 2000, Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore selected Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman as his running mate; Lieberman became the first Jewish candidate on a major party's presidential ticket.

G.K. Chesterton, an English writer who died East in 1936, said, "By a curious confusion, many 452 modern critics have passed from the proposition that a masterpiece may be unpopular to the other V A K 1 0 3 V J 965 2 propositionthatunlessitisunpopularitcannotbea t 10 8 7 4 t Q9 masterpiece."

(Yes,South might have opened one no-trump. Then Opening lead:V A North might have raised to three no-trump, which would not have worked well; or he would have used Stayman and reached four spades.)

West cashes two top hearts, then shifts to the club jack. Declarer wins with dummy's ace and runs the spade jack. West takes the trick and leads another club. How should South continue?

It looks obvious to take the diamond finesse, but West, who could not open the bidding, has already shown up with 11 high-card points. East must have the diamond queen. Declarer should drawtrumps,cash hisdiamond ace,and play a diamond to dummy's king.

Keep counting those high-card points.

repeat of 2002 salmon kill in Klamath River GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — The drought in the West could be creating conditions in the Klamath River straddling Oregon and California for a repeat of a 2002 fish kill that claimed tens of thousands of adult salmon, biologists said.

Low water and warm temperatures have slowed the upriver migration of spring chinook, allowing infections by parasites as the salmon crowd together in cool water pools.

A similar fate is expected for fall chinook that will start arriving in coming weeks.

"The risk factors this year are piling up," Mike Belchick, biologist for the Yurok Tribe, said Wednesday. The tribe depends on Klamath River salmon for food and ceremonies.

The deadly parasitehas been detected at high levels in salmon earlier in the year than usual. The parasite thrives in warm water, infesting the gills of fish and suffocating them.

Warm water has left fish too lethargic to swim upstream, so they congregate in pools fed by cool springs, where the crowding contributesto the spread ofthe disease.

The river is running slightly higher than it was in 2002 but this year's projected return of 120,000 chinook is lower than average.

The Yurok and Hoopa Valley tribes have called on the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to send extra water down the Klamath and Trinity rivers for the fish.

But there is little available in the drought and any releases are being saved for the most effectivetimes.

"At this point, we are just really watching the situation," said bureau spokeswoman Erin Curtis. "It is the fourth year of severe drought. Water supplies are very limited and the situation is not good."

The water in the rivers is tightly split between fish and irrigation projects.
