Could'Godzilla ElNino'forecasts mean mega snowpack? Climatologist: State can't rely on potential El Nino conditions

The Missing Years

Survey results Back on April 1, the California Department of Water Resources found no snow whatsoever during a manual survey of bare ground about 90 miles north of Sonora in the Sierra Nevada. It was the first time in 75 years of early-April measurements at the Phillips snow course near Highway 50 that no snow was found there. Gov. Jerry Brown watched the ceremonial survey, which confirmed electronic readings showing statewide snowpack with less water content than any April 1 since 1950. Electronic readings on April 1 found statewide snowpack held 1.4 inches of water content, just 5 percent of the historical average of 28.3 inches for April 1. The previous low for the date was 25 percent in 2014 and1977. The Phillips snow course, which has been surveyed since 1941, has averaged 66.5 inches in early-April measurements. On April 1, 2011, the measured depth at Phillips was 124.4 inches. The deepest April 1 measurement at Phillips was 150.7 inches in 1983, and the lowest before that was 1.04 inches in 1988. In normal precipitation years, Sierra Nevada snowpack supplies about 30 percent of California's water needs as it melts in spring and summer. The greater the snowpack water content, the greater the likelihood California's reservoirs will receive ample runoff as snowpack melts to meet the state's water demands in summer and fall.

Some forecasters have been talk-

ing about a "Godzilla El Nino" that has potential to become the strongest on record, meaning Pacific Ocean weather systems could bring California its first significant wet winter and substantial snowpack since 2011. But state Department of Water Resources officials, steering dear of hyperbole, are assessing odds and embracing a cautious outlook as Mother Loders and other Californians cope with a fourth consecutive year of

drought. "California cannot count on potential El ¹ino conditions to halt or reverse drought conditions," state climatologist Michael Anderson said Thursday."Kstorical weather data shows usthatatbest,thereisa 50/50 chance ofhaving a wetter winter. Unfortunately, due to shifting climate patterns, we cannot even be that

"There isn't a roadmap in which we could follow," she said. "We' re charting new territory and trying to figure out the rules of engagement as we go. Frank said one of the challenges in the coming weeks will be narrowing down the county's long wish list to an application that fits 70 pages, as required by the rules of the competition. Though not all projects will make the final cut, Frank said the input received over the past few months will be useful in identifying unmet needs and priori ties that could be targeted for funding through other avenues.

tions, most of us have to rely on activists who covertly record inside and put videos online. Organizations like the Humane Society of the United States, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Mercy for Animals have posted such footage. When such grim revelations emerged, the owners of these operations had two choices: stop doing things that would shock consumers, or stop consumers from seeing them. Many suppliers did the former, sometimes under prodding from major grocery and restaurant chains. But some decidedthat concealment was preferable. Their own efForts to keep out prying eyes, however, don't always suffice. So they have enlisted the power of government on their side. Seven states have passed "ag gag" laws aimed at preventing whistleblowers &om exposing farm abuses. Idaho, for example, made it a crime for anyone to do audio or video recording inside a facility without the owner's consent. This was necessary, the bill's sponsor explained, because "extremist groups implement vigilantetacticsto deploy self-appointed investigators who masquerade as employees to infiltrate farms in the hope of discovering and recording what they believe to be animal abuse." Another likened these videos to "terrorism." Vigilantes and terrorists, it should be noted, employ violent methods, including gratuitous brutality, to achieve ends they regard as important enough to override civilized norms. In that respect, they don't resemble the people filming the abuse of animals. They resemble the people committing those abuses. The law, however, does not apply just to activist outsiders who rely on subterfuge. It covers faithful longtime employees who feel obligated to disclose conduct they find unconscionable or even illegal. The ban does more than shelter the public from images affecting the treatment of mere livestock. It suppressesknowledge about practices that could harm humans. It denies the citizenry truthful information about important matters. Italsogetsprioritiesbackward. Ifyou commit an excruciating act of cruelty against an innocent beast, you will serve no more than six months in an Idaho jail. But if you film that crime, you could spend a year behind bars. You also could be forced to pay restitution up to double the amount of any "economic loss" the company incurs once consumers learn how callous it is. But as of Monday, the law no longer applies to anyone, because a federal judge ruled it unconstitutional. In a decision that cast doubt on other state laws, U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill said the Idaho ban violates the First Amendment because it "was designed to suppress speech critical of the agricultural industry." The measure's supporters claimed to be protecting companies from dangerous impostors bent on destroying their businesses. Really? "It is already illegal to steal documents or to trespass on private property," said the judge. "In addition, laws against fraud and defamation alreadyexistto protect against false statements made to injure or malign an agricultural production facility." Devious infiltrators are hardly the only target. Winmill found that the law bans even filming that is "not disruptive of the workplace, and carried out by people who have a legal right to be in a particular location and to watch and listen to what is going on around them." Chapman University constitutional law professor Ronald Rotunda says whistleblowers may not be forbidden to speak about such matters. All this law does is deprive the public of material that can substantiate what they claim. Video footage can be exceptionally informativewhether it documents Planned Parenthood officials talking about ethically questionable abortion methods, police confronting citizens, or Mitt Romney deriding the "47 percent" or Barack Obama's pastor preaching, "No, not God bless America. God damn America!" It's a threat only to those with something to hide. There are facilities where animals are raised or slaughtered in humane conditions that would satisfy the vast majority of Americans. There are others whose routines are enough to make you lose your lunch. Laws like the one in Idaho are a great boon to anyone who would rather not know the difFerence.

GUEST COLUMN

Mistakes evidence of incompetence or spirit? For the last few years, coffee shop employees have had trouble with my order. How do I order my coffee? "Small, black, no sugar," I say. Sometimes the coffee arrives with sugar in it but the most common response is for the counter person to listen to my order and then say, "So just cream, right? I think I should be everyone's favorite customer because I never order anything complex. My favorite kind of pizza is cheese. I drink draR beer and straight whiskey. In Italian places, I eat spaghetti and meatballs. In Chinese places, I eat chop suey. My problem seems to fit neatly into the pigeonhole provided for "angry old white man difficulties," except that I'm not really angry. Instead, I'm trying to figure out what's happening. My order difficulty hit its height last Saturday. I'm a reporter and Iwa s on my way to cover a story in a distant suburb. I brought along a cigar for the drive.

YOUR VIEWS No! Please make it stop! To the Editor: Our "leadership"(sic) has truly gone from silly to stupid. Tell me good people of Tuolumne County, why do you continue to let them play you? Many of our school children live in or on the edge ofpoverty. Their parents, who are in most cases working poor, need help with lunches and school supplies (StufF the Bus). But what do the elected officials on the Columbia School Board do — theygive $27,000 ofour schooltax dollars to a retired official who is drawing a six figure annual pension. We have an annual cry to, "support local business," just to have those same elected leaders give away all our business to billion dollar corporations based in TN (Dollar General), AR, NC, any place but TC. Then they cry poor — cannot afford to widen a street to help a business home based in Southern CA. And now this again — the armored car. Yeah, but wait, there is more. While the Sheriff is wasting a whopping $283,000 of ourprecious tax dollars for a "MedCat," the Sonora police chief is asking for us to chip in and help fight crime. (National Night Out) Well, OK Chief Stinson, but only if Sheriff Mele will let me drive the armored car. There is so much more, every story

If I really were an angry old white man, I'd be screaming about this generation of workers and the schools and Jesus and video games. Maybe we are raising a race of dullards.

all day and a lot of people are senselessly mean to retail workers? That, I'd support. I had a lot of low wage crap jobs before I finished getting a master'sdegree, and I conducted low-grade "worker resistance actions" on all those jobs. I loafed. I hid from the boss. I showed up late and left early whenever I could. I didn'twork any harder than they made me work. I do not believe I am required to show gratitude or loyalty to any person or organization paying me poverty wages. I can't be sure, but I hope those cofFee shop workers are screwing up my order deliberately, just to get back at the boss, at the company, at the world. That shows some spirit. So, if you work in a cofFee shop near me, next time you give me the wrong order, wink. Ill wink back.

Drought forces trout to be trucked from hatchery FRESNO (AP) — Tons of rainbow trout had to be rescued from a Central California fish h atchery and moved by truck to cooler lake water, sparing them from the state's relentless drought, wildlife officials said Wednesday.

for all pipeline operators. PG8 E's comprehensive safety plan includes: • Replacing older pipelines that could pose risks in case of land movement. • Continuing to test pipelines that have not previously been strength tested.

• Continuing to control deterioration to avoid underground leaks. • Installing more automated safety valves that quickly turn off the flow of gas in an emergency. • Inspecting the interior of more pipelines to spot hidden flaws.

• Lessening the risks associated with pipelines close to levee andwater crossings. • Maintaining underground gas storage facilities that help PG8 E meet peak-hour demand.

• Modernizing infrastructure control systems, databases and risk analysis programs. EVIDENTIARY HEARINGS In accordance with the Assigned Commissioner and Administrative Law Judge's (Judge) Ruling, parties will notify the Judge on August 14, 2015, whether or not hearings are

necessary. Hearings onthe maincase were held earlier this year. This hearing will address overlap issues between orders adopted in D.15-04-024 and PG&E's application. At the evidentiary hearings noted above, PG&E and other formal parties to the proceeding will present their evidence through testimony and will be subject to cross-examination before a Judge. The hearings are open to the public, but only those who are formal parties are

permitted to present evidence and/or cross-examine witnesses.After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the formal process, the Judge will issue a proposed decision which may accept PG8 E's proposal, modify it or deny it. The Commissioners may also

Exxon Mobil fined after refinery explosion LOS ANGELES (AP)The California agency that investigates workplace accidents has cited and fined ExxonMobil more t h an $560,000 for w orkplace safety and health violations following a probe into February's explosion at a Los Angeles-area refinery. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health said Thursday that 18 ofthe 19 citations are classified as serious because the violations could potentially cause serious injury or death. Six of those serious violations were also

classified as willful because Cal-OSHA foundthat Exxon did not take action to eliminate known hazardous conditions at the refinery and intentionally failed to comply with state safety standards.

ExxonMobil spokesman Todd Spitler said the company is reviewing the citations.

The Feb. 18 blast at the facility in Torrance slightly injured four contractors, heavily damaged equipment and rained a fine white ash on nearby homes and cars. State air-quality regulators confirmed that

BAGHDAD (AP) — In one of the deadliest single attacks in postwar Baghdad, a truck bomb shattered a popular fruit-and-vegetable market in a teeming Shiite neighborhood Thursday, killing 67 people and wounding more than 150 others. Militants from the self-described Islamic State claimed responsibility for the bombing that incinerated much of the Jameela market in the district of Sadr City. The dead and wounded were carriedaway inblood-soaked blankets and garbage bags amid the charred and twisted stalls and spilled produce. The Sunni extremist group, which holds about a third of Iraq and neighboring Syria, said it targeted a gathering place for Shiites and vowed more attacks. It often attacks military checkpoints or predominantly Shiite areas with the goal of undermining

When it launched its major onslaught across northern Iraq last year, the Islamic State group vowed to continue on to Baghdad, but a mobilization of volunteer Shiite fighters deterred any significant attacks on the capital at that time. For the past two weeks, thousands of Iraqishave staged protests calling on the government to take a firm stance against corruption and reckless spending. Many see the corruption in the securityforces as a m ajorcause for its failures. This week, the government approved areform plan by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi that includes taking some money that was to go to individual officials and redirecting it to strengthening the Interior and Defense ministries. While attacks are common in Baghdad, Thursday's was the deadliest single bombing in the capital since the

struck Sadr City. That prompted the government to implement a 24-hour curfew in Baghdad that remained in effect,on-and-off, until earlier this year, when al-Abadi lifted it to try to return some semblance of normal life in the capital. In another major attack in Sadr City in 2013, two suicide bombers hit a cluster of funeral tents packed with mourning families, killing 72 people. Another 20 people were killed elsewhere in Iraq that day. In Thursday's attack, police said the attackers put the explosives in arefrigeration truck so that it fit in with other

vehicles delivering supplies to the market, the main center for produce and foodsalesin Baghdad. The bomb was detonated shortly after dawn.

"The CEQA, at best, can take anywhere from six months to three years," Simmons said. "We' re not leaving. The plant has already been approved. All these folks think we' re going to go away — that is not going to happen. The plant is allowed by law, by code." Nick Jones, president of Ford Construction, which owns the property the quarry is on and will rent it to CB Asphalt, said in a perfect world, the enterprise would have been in operation about two months ago if it hadn't been for the legal issues.

"I was driving up the hill and saw water coming down," Alisha Branion, 26, said outside her apartment Thursday afternoon, where water was still running and pooling in places, and a firefighter used a squeegee on a pole to clear standing water out of her carport. "It didn't get in my place," Branion said. "It came inmy laundry room, maybe an inch deep." The break was reported about 3:30 p.m., Lisa Westbrook of Tuolumne Utilities District said in phone interviews. As of 9 p.m. Thursday the break had been repaired. It took responding firefighters and utility workers about one hour to identify the location of the break, shut the water off, and slow the cascading waters, according to Westbrook and residents who live in the neighborhood. The break prompted TUD operations staff to temporarily shut down the Sonora Water Treatment Plant, Westbrook said, adding the plant off Greenley Road was backonline as of Thursday night.

Murphys resident Angela Hanson (left) was named Calaveras Mentor of the Month. She is mentor to Brandy Phillips, 14.

The Calaveras Youth Mentoring Program named Murphys resident Angela Hanson as the program's Mentor of the Month for August. Hanson has been matched with her 14-year-old mentee, Brandy, for nearly two years. "In her gentle way, Angela is the kind of mentor who is actually making our community stronger through her love for this one child," said Colleen Nunn, coordinator of mentoring programs for the

Calaveras County Office of Education. "Not only has Angela built a very important friendship with Brandy, she is also a great friend to Brandy's dad. Together they have worked to surround Brandy with a whole host of supportive adults. Angela lives up to her name; she is truly an angel." Hanson learned about the Calaveras Youth Mentoring Program byreading an article in the newspaper. She wanted

to volunteer but worried that she would not have enough time to make the weekly commitment. Now, after becoming a part of Brandy's life, Hanson has come to enjoy the experience. "I think of it as a privilege and an honor that the kids actually want to spend time with us adults," Hanson said. "It's a gift,nota chore." Brandy's father, Paul PhilSee MENTOR/ Page B2

Well known Harts start church near Crystal Falls

Si,' « Christi,„

By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

Longtime pastor Jay Hart and his wife, Cathy Hart, have opened a new church, Sierra Christian Fellowship, in Sonora. The church is at 21051 Crystal Falls Drive, No. 5, at the corner of Longeway Road in Sonora, in the shopping center that houses a restaurant, barber shop and dance studio. Sunday services are held at 10:30 a.m. Pastor Jay Hart said the mission of the church is to be "a fellowship of spirit-filled believers committed to God' s purpose of changing lives by worshipping God, leading others to Jesus, and building a unified team to reach and careforallin every stage of life." Hart, 74, has been a pastor for 40 years. Sixteen of those years were spent leading Creekside Community Church in Sonora. Jay Hart was raised in Stockton, where he was a pastor for 13 years, before moving to Sonora with his family in 1988. In May 2003, Hart's wife of 44 years, Wilma Hart, died at age 64. In August 2003, Cathy Hart's husband of 29 years, Ralph Hatton died. Jay and Cathy met when the Hattons attended Creekside Community Church. They married Jan. 1, 2004. Cathy movedtoTuolumne County in 1987. She grew up in Oakland. She has been a Christian since 1975. Jay Hart said he was raised in the Christian church but an experience at 12 years old left him with the knowledge that he would grow up to be a pastor. At age 29, he says he gave himself to Jesus Christ and became ordained a few years later. Afier Jay Hart and his family moved to Sonora, he started a plumbing business with his sons, J. Hart Plumbing, which is now owned by his son, Jay Hart Jr., who goes by Buddy. His son Jason Hart, of Tuolumne, also works at J. Hart Plumbing,

Pastor Jay Hart and his wife, Cathy Hart, of Sonora, have started a new church called Sierra Christian Fellowship, a non-denominational Christian church. along with the elder Jay, who works there Monday through Thursday. Hart's other son, Joe Hart, ofCopperopolis, works as a plumber at Sierra Conservation Center. Cathy Hart is mother to three sons as well — David Hatton, of Phoenix, Arizona, and Jason Hatton and Brian Mota,both ofCody,W yoming. In 2006, Jay and Cathy Hart decided it was time to move on, and they moved to Florida where a friend of Jay's was starting a new church. In 2008, they moved again to pastor another church in Georgia. "We loved the South but my family are all here," and Cathy's family and friends are also on the West Coast,

Jay Hart said. "This is where our heart has always been." Cathy H ar t fo r merly worked at John's Sierra Market andTuolumne Market. "He knows half the county and I know the other half," she said with a laugh. The couple moved back to the area three years ago and lived in La Grange until November 2014, when they moved back to Sonora.

Chapel mission builds home The youth group at Chapel in the Pines church in Arnold took a trip this summer to help a family in need in Mexico. The group went to Rosarito from June 20 to June 26. The group built a 16-foot-by-20 foot house in four days. The (position) photo shows the home the family was living in, which youth group leader Cecile Kaiserdescribed as"acavemade ofanything they could find to hold it together." There were no windows, and a curtain for a door. The family included parents and three children — a girl, 8, and two boys ages 3 and 6. A group of 14, seven teenagers and seven adults, from Chapel in the Pines built the house under the direction of an experienced

builder. They learned framing, drywall, wiring, paintingand roofi ng,and how to use power tools. The new home has two bedrooms and a living room, but no kitchen or bathroom. It was also wired for electricity. "They now have windows and a door, and the children slept in their own beds for the first time in their lives," Kaiser said.

Through church and community donations, the youth group also brought bunk beds, bedding, towels, pillows and sheets for the family. "It may not look like much to you, but to this precious family, it is a mansion," Kaiser said. See MISSION/Page B2

BRIEFING I

By CHRIS BIDERMAN

USA hoopswins exhidition game LAS VEGAS (AP)There was no LeBron James or Stephen Curry. Nor were there any signs of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant or James Harden. Most importantly, there weren't any injuries. The U.S. men' s basketball team ended its minicamp with an exhibition that felt like a light-hearted pickup game, a much smoother ending than last summer, when Indiana Pacers All-Star Paul George broke his leg after crashing into a backboard stanchion. Sacramento Kings All-Star DeMarcus Cousins scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the White team to a 134-128 victory over the Blue team. The national team, which is currently riding a 63-game winning streak against international competition, is aiming for a third straight Olympic gold medal.

"I was a young guy," Bowman said."Just to see older guys go down at some point in the season, when they came back, the morale of the team changed. You could just feel it.

Lindsey Vonn injured again QUEENSTOWN, New Zealand (AP) — Lindsey Vonn has another injury to worry about after fracturing an ankle bone in a training crash in New Zealand. "Unfortunately I crashed today and have a small fracture in my ankle," the American skier said on Twitter. "Headed home now but will keep u posted." She was heading home to Vail, Colorado, to have the ankle examined further. It is the latest setback for Vonn, who returned from serious leg injuries to break the all-time record for victories on the women's World Cup last season. She also won her seventh World Cup downhill title. Vonn, who was spending a second week in New Zealand for her first on-snow training ahead of the new season, did not say which ankle was damaged. She used the hashtag "minorsetback" in her tweet, indicating she didn't think the injury was very serious.

Sac River salmon season off to slow start with submersible lights. Catfish are still feeding along shallow shorelines and anglers are making catches with anchovies, mackerel, chicken liver, and nightcrawlers. Those that target Crappie, a tasty fish, are finding them near timber and brushy shorelines. Morgan Styre, of Sonora, caught over 30 while fishing at night with live minnows.

~+ — Ackerman The Sacramento River salmon season, which opened below Red Bluff July 16,gotofftoavery slow start. Most fish may still be near the ocean and those that entered the river found warm water, which sends them upriver at high speed. The season opened the beginning of August above Red Bluff and guides were making some good catches in the Barge Hole, which was crowded with boats and shore anglers. More salmon will be moving up-river, seeking cooler water before spawning.

In the Ebbetts Pass area, most lakes and streams are still planted and giving up trout before the Labor Day weekend, after which the big crowds will be heading back home and to school. F or information on t h e area, call 795-1686.

Things are much better in Alaska, where anglers Danny and Joanne Layne, of Twain Harte, and Ron and Nancy Gorham, of Mi-Wuk Village, spent several days fishing out of Sitka.

PGA Continued from PageC1 shaky one for Spieth. They were the main event in the first round of the final major. McIlroy has not played since the U.S. Open, out for 53 days because of an injury to his left ankle and mildly curious whether his game would be sharp enough to compete. Adding to the buzz was playing with Spieth, the Masters and U.S. Open champion who is closing in on McIlroy's No. 1 ranking. "It's not that. It's more just being a little bit anxious coming back and seeing how my game is going to react whenever I'm put under a little bit of pressure and have a card in my hand and have to really score," McIlroy said. "Once I got those first couple of holes out of the way, I felt like I settled into the round really nicely." Three birdies on the par 5s, and one big par save with his feet in the water, carriedhim to a 71. Spieth doesn't usually go 11 holes without making a putt of any length, and frustrat ions were starting wear on him until he chipped in Rom behind the 12th green for birdie which steadied him enough to match Mcllroy with a 71.

LITKE Continued from PageCl ed down the fairway howling to no one in particular, "How f--- bad am I putting?' The answer, statistically speaking, is very bad. The fact that Woods let that miss linger well into the next hole — he was still cursing when he arrived at his tee shot — is even worse. "I hit it great today, but I made actually nothing," he said after shooting 3-over 75 in the first round of the PGA Championship. "Probably one of the worst putting rounds I' ve had in a very long time." Golf used to be Woods and everybody else. About the only thing they had in common was how they described fair-to-middling rounds afterward, how a handful of nearmisses on the greens could have changed everything. The diff erence,ofcourse,was

that Woods would go out the next day, and the day after that, and make almost everything in sight. That doesn't happen anymore. His opening rounds at the three other majors this year are 73 (Masters), 80 (U.S. Open) and 76 (British Open) and his finishes at Chambers Bay and St. Andrews were just as disastrous. Now he not only sounds like everybody else, Woods plays like everybody else, too. To be clear, he did not "hit it great" Thursday. The same golf swing that thrilled millions around the globe no longer scares anyone in the field. Woods found only seven of the 14 fairways at Whistling Straits and hit a more respectable 12 of 18 greens. That last number isn't as good it sounds when you factor in the length of his average approach shots — 156 yards, which is short-iron territory.

He was spot-on about the terrible p u tting, t h ough. Woods needed 33 strokes with the fiat stick and his r anking i n t h e "Strokes Gained: Putting" category — the most accurate measure of a golfer's play on the greens — ranked him 146th in a field of 156. Even the most technically oriented teachers will admit that putting is, at its root, a mental exercise. Woods' own coaches, plenty of selfappointed coaches watching on TV and more than a few pros have offered advice on how Woods could, or should, re-locate the stroke that made him nearly unbeatable once. Nearly all of it has been focused on those few inches on either side of the golf ball. More likely, though, the problem with his putting still resides somewhere squarely between his ears. "I just never felt like I had

the speed right," Woods said later in the same interview. "Even I if I dumped the ball center of the green or I had some makeable putts straight up the gut, they still were off. They were either getting chewed up by the green or I was blowing them through. So I definitely need to somehow find the speed better." Grace was never Woods' strongest suit. Ambition was, and the gulf between what he wants and what he has to settle for has likely never been wider. He still oozes talent. What he can't produce anymore are results. The closest he came to acknowledging as much came at the very end of his postr ound i n t erview. H e

much over very soon. But the year's not. "I still can do things overseas ... our next season is starting up next year, I have my tournament down in the Bahamas. There's plenty of golf to be played globally. So the season, it is what it is, but calendar year I still have a lot of golf leA.a

Looking forward to those end-of-the-year events which are largely an excuse to pick up rankings points and vacuum up serious appearance money — was the kind of admission that you would have needed the jaws of life to pry out of Woods' mouth a half-dozen years ago.

THE UN' DEMO CRAT

NFL

Beth Mowins gets announcer shot during preseason NAPA (AP) — Beth Mowins has spenther accomplished career as a play-by-play announcer trying to tell the story, not be it. That will change Friday night when she becomes just the second woman play-by-play announcer ever for an NFL game. Mowins will handle the Bay Area broadcast of the Oakland Raiders' exhibition game against the St. Louis Rams, 28 years after Gayle Sirens broke the barrier when she broadcast a late-season game on NBC between Seattle and Kansas City. That turned out to be the only NFL game Sirens ever broadcast and it took nearly three decades for another woman to get the chance. The game will be broadcast locally in the Bay Area and will be aired later Friday night on a tape-delayed basis on the NFL Network. "I think most football play-byplay announcers would love to have that opportunity so certainly

Ill try to make the most of it," said Mowins, who has been calling college football games on ESPN for a decade. "To be able to do it with the Raiders is pretty cool. I'm friends with Gayle Sirens soit's pretty cool that it has come back full circle and the opportunity is there for me." Mowins was at the top of the listof potentialbroadcasters when Raiders owner Mark Davis decided he wanted a dedicated television crew for preseason games this year instead of simulcasting the radio broadcast. Vittorio DeBartolo, the vice president, executive producer for the Raiders, was tasked with putting together a team and quickly focused on Mowins. He was intrigued by thetrailblazing aspect ofthehire for an organization that had hired the first female CEO in league history (Amy Trask), the first black coach in modern history (Art Shell) and the second Hispanic coach in

league history (Tom Flores). Watching tapes of her college broadcasts solidified the decision and Davis was quickly impressed. "I think people are kind of curious at first," DeBartolo said. "Most peoplewho don'tknow Beth don't know how qualified she is. Once they read her resume and look at what she's done, it's a no-brainer. It was something we could build on and it kind of went in that direction. Luckily, we had the type of owner who doesn't care who you are."

Only adding to the attraction was the fact that Mowins went to

graduate school in her hometown of Syracuse, New York, where Al Davis went to college, and she had no connections with other NFL teams. Mowins will work the four preseason games this year with a pair offormer Raiders greats in recently inducted Hall of Famer Tim Brown and four-time Super Bowl cham-

pion Matt Millen. Mowins' career as a national play-by-play football broadcaster began in 2005 when she was hired by ESPN to call Western Athletic Conference games. She followed Pam Ward as the second female play-by-play broadcaster forcollege football on a national outlet. The former college basketball player at LafayetteCollege also broadcasts men's and women's basketball games, as well as other college sports at ESPN. "When I was younger I immediately realized I wasn't going to be the ex-coach or ex-player but that other guy, I might be able to do what he does," Mowins said. So Mowins started doing local broadcasts near Syracuse before working herway to ESPN. While there are plenty of women sidelinereportersin professional men's sports,the broadcast booth has been adifferent story.

"I understand it's a little different for a lotofotherpeople,butfor me it's always been my day-to-day," she said. "I' ve been really lucky over the years to have great guys who believedin me and mentored me and helped me outalong the way. I don't feel like it's a big deal. Most of the time places I go, I can' t remember a bad experience. Most peopleare very friendly and professional." Mowins said it is a bit awkward to talk about herself when her career has been built on describing the actions of others. But she is ableto appreciate thetrend-setting aspect of her career when she hears

from up-and-comingwomen in the business. "When youngerpeople walk up to me and say they want to do what I do,itdoesfeelpretty good to sortof be someone who they can say, 'Hey, it's possible if you want it and work hard at it.'"

Bears 27, Dolphins 10 CHICAGO (AP) — Ryan Tannehill picked apart a rebuilt defense, throwing for a touchdown on the game's opening drive, and Miami led into the second half before Chicago rallied for a victory. The Bears used two interceptions by reserves to set up a touch-

down and field goal that gave them a 10-point lead early in the fourth quarter. The rally aside, it was not a promising performance by a team coming off a five-win season. The Bears hired general manager Ryan Pace and coach John Fox while overhauling the defense, but there clearly is work to do. Miami, 8-8 last season, looked good until Chicago's reserves made their move. Tannehill, armed with a $96 million contract extension, played like a big-moneyquarterback,going 6 of7 for 56 yards.

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 call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau hOuniondemocrat.corn

Mom's insecuri adding stress to relationship DEAR ANNIE: I follow you on Facebook. I am 18 years old and have been with my boyfriend for more than a year. We used to spend a bit too much time together and I know it wasn't healthy, so we worked it out and now have new hobbies and see our friends a little more. Everything is good except for one thing: His mother. She is recently divorced and when my boy&iend and I were spending a lot of time at her place, she was upset and miserable. We understood, so we would make dinner for her and keep the house clean, but she would never come out of her room. My boyfriend and I would eat dinner and converse. One day, his mother came into the kitchen and apparently, saw this closeness as a threat. She complained that she wasn't getting any attention from her son and that I was stealing him away from her. She prohibited me from coming over for three weeks, which m y boyfriend and Ifound hurtful.

Doctors differ on chemotherapy delivery method DEAR DR, ROACH: My 70-year-old husband's mantle cell lymphoma is being treated with chemotherapy, including doxorubicin, and he received his first cycle at MD Anderson, where they took 48 hours to infuse the doxorubicin chemo. When this cycle was repeated at our local hospital, they administered it as a push in just a few minutes. I am aware of the cardiactoxicity associated with this drug, and I questioned it being done in minutes rather than days. I had read that administering this slowly could reduce the toxicity, yet the doctor who ordered the push said it didn't matter. I thought when we brought our regimen from MD Anderson it would be done exactly the same way. I am not finding that, and I am concerned. — L.S. ANSWER Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) is one of the most common and effective chemotherapy agents, especially in combination with other anticancer drugs. However,it needs to be dosed cautiously and skillfully, because there are several toxicities. The most important and dangerous

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. isthe cardiactoxicity.High doses for prolonged periods can permanently reduce the ability of the heart to squeeze. This is commonlyreported as the "ejection fraction," the proportion of blood emptied by the heart with each stroke. Normal values aretypicall y about 50 to 75 percent. Although the major predictor for doxorubicin toxicity is the total lifetime dose, there is some evidence that slower rates of infusion may reduce risk of developing cardiac toxicity. Also, local reactions, such as rednessof the vein, as w ell as facial flushing, are more common if infused rapidly. MD Anderson is one of the premier cancer hospitals in the U.S. (and the world).

I would recommend speaking to your husband's attending oncologist about the rate of infusion. Any reduction in this risk seems to me to be worth 6uther discussion. DEAR DR. ROACK With everyone drinking a lot of water during the summer, I noticed that the water depot where I fill up my gallon jugs supplies water in different ranges of alkalinity, from 8-10. This seems to be a new venture for the depot. The owner sells the alkaline water &on inside the store and claims the benefit of this water is to neutralize the acidity of the many products we eat daily. He suggests that one might start by taking water with a pH of 8 or stronger, then dilute it to one's requirements. The purified water involves reverse osmosis so the company reintroduces catcium, magnesium and potassium to bring it up in value. Do you have any comments on aHmline water being consumed during this hot summer season? — B.A. ANSWER: I recently have seen much confusionabout acid and alkaline con-

sumption. By adding a base to water, you raise the pH, making it more alkaline. You can do this at home simply by adding a bit of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to your water — you don't need to buy alkaline water. Calcium carbonate is a common antacid. Calcium, magnesium and potassium are all elements we need, so in that respect, the alkaline water you are talking about is better than the sodium you would add to water with baking soda. However, the important point is that under normal circumstances your body does not need any help in maintaining pH or in neutralizing acid. The body's systems are able to maintain pH under almost any dietary condition. Alkaline water is not necessary for health.

South's Opening lead:0 A hand might look a tad weak, but the suits are great. North, with those wonderful major-suit honors, should have no qualms in bidding four hearts. West leads the diamond ace and continues with the diamond king. South ruffs and drives out the spade ace. East exits safely with a diamond, declarer ruffs again, and West drops the queen. Now South, before he loses trump control, must establish a club trick. But when he leads a club toward dummy's king-jack, and West plays low, should South call for the jack or king? West has shown up with nine points in diamonds, but could not open the bidding. He cannot have the club ace. Declarer must finesse dummy's jack.
