At its height, the broken hydrant lateral on North Shepherd Street allowed water to flow from the roughly 80-year-old cast iron main at a rate of 500 to 600 gallons per minute, David Andres, TUD interim general manager, and Don Perkins, TUD operations manager, said.

The two times the main broke before in the pastdecade were in September 2006 and September 2008, Andres and Perkins said. The hydrant lateral that broke Thursday isprobablyjustas old as the castiron main, Andres said.

THE IJNIX ODEMOOhT

W oman's 5' Beates ca ersti nets attention

By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

On Aug. 25, 1965, days afterthe Watts riotsrocked the city of Los Angeles, four teenage girls living near Hollywood pulledoff an elaborate g'

stunt to m eet t h e B eatles that's still attracting atten-

tion50 years later.

A 16-year-old Kay Zar Crow, now 66 and living in Groveland, chartered a helicopter with a group of her friends to fly over a Benedict Canyon compound where the Fab Four was staying ahead of theirsecond performance at the Hollywood Bowl.

It earned the girls widespread news coverage at the

time, as well as the opportunity to meet their idols at a press conference on Aug. 29, 1965.

"They were really charmed that teenage girls had that type of ingenuity," she said of the Beatles."That caper taught me I could do anything in life if I put my mind to it."

Crow is traveling to her hometown next week to recreate a photo published by the Los Angeles Times on Aug. 26, 1965, that depicted her and her co-horts in &ont of their chartered helicopter atop the California Federal Building on Wilshire Boulevard.

A Los Angeles TV station that interviewed Crow and her &iends back in 1965 is planning to do a story about the reunion for the local 11

By GUY McCARTHY The Union Democrat

pounds, had ivory-white claws and teeth and looked to stand about 5 feet tall on its hind legs, Yepez said, adding that a warden helped him figure how big the bear was. Yepez weighs about 180 and stands 5 feet 9. Bengi is a 10-pound Yorkshire Terrier.

No one determined the gender of the bear, which wardens have laid traps and snares for in their efforts to catch and kill it. Yepez still referred the bear as a "he" as he recounted how

A man who wasattacked by a bear on his porch early Thursday in Midpines, Mariposa County, was recovering Friday and recalled how his dog, Bengi, joined the fight to try and protect him.

Larry Yepez, 66, a retired National Park Service wildland firefighter and Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War, said his instincts kicked in when the animal had its teeth and claws on him.

The attackoccurred about 4 a.m. Thursday outside Yepez' home on Colorado Road in Midpines, about 60 miles southeast of Sonora.

The jet-black bear weighed about 250

he fought it off. ''When he had me on the ground and my hand in his mouth and I was punching him in the head, he wouldn't let me go and a voice inside me said This bear is going to kill you. If you don't do something right now this bear is going to kill you.'"

That's when Yepez put his feet on the bear's underside and kicked it away, he said.

'The bear was coming back at me and that' s when Bengi ran to the back of the bear trying to nip at him," Yepez said. "Then the bear turned around and swatted at Bengi. Bengi ran into the house and I ran in behind him.

Bengi distracted the bear long enough that I could get up and run into the house."

From Yepez' descriptions, a warden told him the bear was likely young, 2 to 3 years old.

"He was young, so his teeth and claws were pretty sharp," Yepez said.

Even though Yepez is in pain, he went to visit with wardens Friday in an area where they hope to trap it.

"They' re still looking," Yepez said. "They' ve set upthree different bear traps and set up some snares as well.

"It's painful yes, I do feel like I' ve been mauled by a bear," Yepez said. "He was serious about trying to hurt me. He ripped my face, he scratched my arms and legs and neck. I felt like he was going for my throat. He bit my left hand, had it in his mouth."

Yepez said he has stitches all over his body, including his face, his sides and one of his legs.

"I'm lucky there," Yepez said. "I' ve been saying thank you Lord,thank you Grandfather.I got away, I am alive. I' ve said a lot of thank yous in the past 24 hours."

ear

A bag of food was outside on the porch, and state Fish and Wildlife officials say it was likely the bear was eating out of the bag when Yepez came out of his house.

If the bear is captured, wardens intend to euthanize it because of the persistent, prolonged nature of the bear's attack, the serious injuries sustained by the man, and to gather forensic evidence such as DNA, hair, blood and tissue from the bear's claws.

Because of the bear attack, the Mariposa County Sheriff"s Office has issued an aggressive animal public safety warning for the Midpines area of Mariposa County.

"The Mariposa County SherifFs Office and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife are warning residents in the area to be aware of their surroundings, keep an eye on children and pets," sherifFs officials said. "Should you encounterabear,do notapproach and call911 immediately."

Concerns about plague are high in Yosemite because a Los Angeles County child who stayed at Crane Flat Campground in Yosemite and visited Rainbow Pool in the Stanislaus National Forest in mid-July contracted human plague, state and federal health officials say.

GUEST COLUMN

ic ae oore ar enst e cine ex oor It's been six years since a Michael Moore mockumentary struggledat thebox office."Capitalism: A Love Story" grossed a paltry $14.3 million, less than an eighth the take of his hit "Fahrenheit 911." The long wait for the next Moore spectacle is almost over. The day before the next 9/11 anniversary, Moore's new America-bashing film "Where to Invade Next" will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival, where movies about America by an American make their debut. .

L. B I 'Clif As usual, the film's "principal cast" is just Michael Moore, egomaniac. Moore boasted he hadn't done a TV interview in a year. (Thank the Lord for small favors.) And he succeeded wildly in keeping this film a secret (ditto). The festival website promisesonly'his most provocative and hilarious film yet: Moore tells the Pentagon to 'stand down — he will do theinvading forAmerica &om now on.

That sounds positively knee-slapping.

There's one obvious reason for Moore's low political profile, as the Los Angeles Times related: "Moore's six-year movie absence has been motivated by many things, but certainly the presence of a Democrat in the White House may not be entirely coincidental." In other words, his guy has been in control, so apparently all's well. But now that we' re preparing for a new president, America's a mess and it's Moore to the rescue.

In his last documentary on America's history, Dinesh D'Souza argued: the "notion of the essential goodness of America is under attack, replaced by another story in which theft and plunder are seen as the defining features of American history." That summation describes the Moore ideology precisely.

"The issue of the United States at infinite war is something that has concerned me for quite some time, and provides the necessary satire for this film," Moore explains. "[There is] this constant need it seems to always have an enemy. Where's the next enemy, so we can keep our whole military-industrial complex alive, and keep the companies that make a lot of money &om this in business?"

In Moore's world,America isa predatory colossus,an im perialist menace, always waging unprovoked wars with a military establishment full of mindless killers.

In January, he greeted the wildly popular and engrossing film "American Sniper" by tweeting "My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes."

When pro-Americans fired back, Moore compared them to vicious terrorists: "the American lovers of violence and the issuers of fatwas in OUR society haven't gone away. They are our American ISIS." Michael Moore: once a hate-filled mudslinger, always a hatefilled mudslinger.

Thorn Powers, the programmer of the film festival in Toronto promises the new Moore flick is "going to take a lot of people by surprise." But who believes that? Weal just get another shovel of Moore's America-stinks narrative, as he stated in January when he sneered we were never liberators in Iraq: 'We will be better off in the future when we say we lost Vietnam, we lost Iraq, we lost Afghanistan. Why do we invent this fairy tale aboutourselves? Itdoesnogood,and itis only going to getus into more trouble in the future."

Simply put, the "fairy tale" here is that America represents &eedom and democracy, and that our supposedly great country is aglobal forceagainstterrorism and genocide.

Moore hates America with all the passionate intensity of a Third World hut-dweller, and in so doing has become fabulously wealthy in America. He now owns nine properties, including a lakefront mansion in northern Michigan and a pricey large condo in Manhattan.

He's just another hypocritical leftist, like President Obama and both Clintons, another filthy rich elitist raging against The Man. '

Why BernieSanders'big crowds count When Democratic presidential candidates have campaigned in Los Angeles, it has usuall y been around a privatefundraising event featuring Barbra Streisand or Steven Spielberg or George Clooneyor some combination of the three. What it has not been about — especially some 15 months before Election Day — is a long-shot, underdog candidate's drawing a crowd of 27,500, which socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont did, energizing enough people to more than fill the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena (right afler he, in the preceding two days, attractedthrongs of 28,000 and 15,000, respectively, in Portland and Seattle).

Let me assure you that candidate crowds are not, unlike sunsets and thunderstorms, natural occurrences. Large crowds are anything but spontaneous; they have to be organized. Traditionally, to "buil d a crowd" for a candidate' s appearance, there has been a basic political rule: If your candidate is speaking in a hall that holds 500 people, be certain that you will have a crowd of 750. To do so, that used to mean recruiting dozens of volunteers running phone banks to invite several times that many, often providing &ee transportation and &ee food, as well as entertainment. This meant spending a lot of hours and more than a few dollars.

Why all this effort? The size and response of the crowd can determine the candidate' s press coverage. The last

No, what Sanders gives you is his unvarnished take on the truth. To the hedgefund royalty and the private-equity princes, he announces: 'You can' t have it all. You cannot get huge tax breaks when millions of kids go to bed hungry.... You cannot hide your profits in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda.

You will pay your fair share." Audiences understand when Sanders deciaims that uncontrolled campaign financing — with admitted individual contributions of$10 million to a candidate — because of the Supreme Court's 2010 no-limits Citizens United decision has "totally corrupted" this nation founded on "government by the people."

In the most recent campaign reports, Sanders and Republican neurosurgeon Ben Carson are the only two candidates who have raised more than 80 percent of their funds from contributions of $200 or less. If citizens cheering in the Sanders crowds decideto contribute,say,$25 or $50 each, then you could have a new narrative for the 2016 presidential contest.

This really could be David against all the Goliaths in both parties — the last, best chance to take back the American government &om big money. This is why the big 2015 Sanders crowds could really

A6 — Saturday, August 15, 2015

Ker ca s or emocra as a Is ral se in HAVANA (AP) — Jubilant crowds waved American flags and chanted "Long live the United States!" as the Stars and Stripes rose over the newly reopened U.S. Embassy in Cuba on Friday aftera half-century ofoftenhostilerelations. Secretary of State John Kerry celebrated the day but also made an extraordinary, nationally broadcastcallfordemocratic change on the island.

Hundreds o f Cu b ans mixed with American tourists outside the former U.S. Interests Section, newly emblazoned with the letters "Embassy of the United States of America." They cheered as Kerry spoke, the United States Army Brass Quintet played "The StarSpangled Banner" and U.S.

M arines raised the fl ag alongside the building overlooking the famous Malecon seaside promenade.

Meeting more than 54 years after the severing of diplomatic relations, Kerry and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez set an early September date for the start of talks on full normal-

ization of a relationship so long frozen in enmity.

Not all the talk was as warm as the sunny summer

day. Kerry and Rodriguez said their nations would continue to disagreeover issues such as democracy and human rights. But they also said they hoped to make progress on issues ranging from maritime security

and public health to the billions of dollars in dueling

claims over confiscation of U.S. property and the U.S. economic embargo on the island.

It seemed that virtually all of Cuba was glued to television or listening by cellphone as Kerry directly addressedthe island's people on political reform. That's a subject that has remained off'-limits in Cuba even as the single-party government has implemented a series of economic reforms and reestablished diplomatic ties with the U.S. "We remain convinced the people of Cuba would be best served by a genuine democracy, where people are free to choose their leaders, express their ideas, practice their faith," Kerry said. He spoke before an audience of Cuban

CLEAR LAKE, Iowa (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton offered a fierce defense of her handling of the 2012 Benghazi attacks and her use of a privateemailserver asPresident Barack Obama's secretary of state, dismissing the controversies as "partisan games" in a speech before influential Iowa Democrats on Friday.

Turning to her email controversies, Clinton said she would "do my part to provide transparency to Americansthat's why I'm insisting 55,000 pages of my emails be published as soon as possible" and turned over the server.

"I won't pretend that this is anything other than what it is: the same old partisan games we' ve seen so many times before," she said. "So I don't care how many super PACs and Republicans pile on. I' ve been fighting for families and underdogs my entire life and I'm not going to stop now."

SAN FRANCISCO — A small, experimental aircraft controlled by an apparently incapacitated pilot was tracked by Air Force and Coast Guard planes for three hours before it plummeted into the Pacific Ocean.

The Coast Guard said Friday it was still searching for the Lancair plane and its pilot about 460 miles west of Point Reyes, California.

Nobody else was aboard the plane, which took ofF from Palmdale, California. The pilot's name was not released.

Ads target Democrats undecided on Iran deal WASHINGTON (AP) — Opponents of President Barack Obama's nuclear pact with Iran tried turning up the heat this week on undecided Senate Democrat Jon Tester with a TV ad saying politician like him would have "blood on their hands" if they supported the deal. But the burly Montanan came outin favor,thelatestofa string ofDemocrats toshrug ofF ad campaigns from opposition groups.

The ad against Tester was pretty tough, but the real money is being spent by an offshoot of the high-powered American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which is running ads on nationwide TV and in the states of more than a dozen

undecided Democrats, among them Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Chris Coons of Delaware and Mark Warner of Virginia. The accord would curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions, and the House and Senate are slated to vote next month on a resolution of disapproval.

"Iran had signed a treaty banning torture, but they did it anyway," says Ahmad Batebi, an Iranian human rights activist who was tortured by the regime. "Now they' ve signed a deal promising no nuclear weapons, but they keep their nuclear facilities and ballistic missiles. What do you think theyll be doing?"

The ad by Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran, the AIPACsponsored group, is tougher than an earlier one it ran. But the ad doesn't ask viewers to take any action, like calling their senator or congressman. And it doesn't name names.

Instead, it displays the group's website address, where those inclined to visit will find more information and get automated assistance in calling their lawmakers.

Prison slaying challengessolitary confinement efforts SACRAMENTO — California's efforts to ease its famously harsh use of solitary confinement are c lashing with a bloody reality after an inmate who spent decades alone in a tiny cell was sent back to the general population and killed by fellow inmates within days.

Hugo 'Yogi" Pinell's repeated assaults on guards landed him in solitary confinement beginning in the early 1970s, making him one of the longest-serving solitary confinement inmates in the nation, said Keramet Reiter, a University of California,Irvine, professor of criminology who studies the issue.

bloody 1971 San Quentin escape attempt that left six dead, including three guards, also helped spur the creation of super-maximum prisons like Pelican Bay State Prison, designed to isolate the most incorrigible and dangerous criminals and gang leaders, Reiter said.

More recently, the 45 years Pinell spent in segregation helped drive the national debateover the isolation of prisoners. The issue recently drew criticism from both

President Bar ack Obama and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.

3immy Carter says he has cancer ATLANTA — Former President Jimmy Carter, who at age 90 still travels the world supporting the humanitarian endeavors that have consumed his time in the decades since he left office, announced Wednesday he has cancer that has spread to other parts of his body.

"Recent liver surgery re-

vealedthat Ihave cancerthat now is in other parts of my body," Cartersaid in the statement released by the Carter Center. "I will be rearranging my schedule as necessary so I can undergo treatment by physicians at Emory Health-

and full recovery.

"Jimmy you' re as resilient as they come, and along with the rest of America, we are rooting for you," Obama said in a statement.

Carter was the nation's 39thpresident,defeatingGerald Ford in 1976 with a pledge to always be honest.

Fishing towns melting into water DELACROIX, La. — Rocky Morales is watching his small Louisiana town of Delacroix slowly melt into the water.

The woods where he played hide-and-seek as a boy are gone. It's all water and mud back there now. So, too, is the nearby marsh where townsfolk once trapped for muskrat, otter and mink.

Many of the fishermen who once lived here — his friends and relatives — have disappeared as well, fleeing behind the levees protecting New Orleans out of fear one more hurricane will send the restofDelacroix intothe sea.

Ten years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast — killing more than 1,830 people and causing more than $150 billion in damage in the nation's costliest disaster — New Orleans has beenforti fied by a new $14.5 billion flood protection system. But outside the iconic city, efForts have lagged to protect small towns and villageslosing land every year to erosion. And as that land bufFer disappears, New Orleans itselfbecomes more vulnerable.

In the past century, more than 1,880 square miles of Louisiana land has turned into open water — an area

nearly the size of Delaware.

And the loss continues, with an average 17 square miles disappearing annually, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Greece OK'dfor billions in new loans BRUSSELS — Finance ministers of the 19-nation euro single currency group on Friday approved the first $29 billion of a vast new bailout package to help rebuild Greece'sshattered economy.

The approvalcame after Greece's parliament passed a slew of painful reforms and spending cuts after a marathon overnight session that divided the governing party,raising the specter of early elections.

"Of course there were differences but we have managed to solvethe last issues," Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Djisselbloem told reporters in B r u ssels."All the intense work of the past week has paid off."

Ten billion euros will be available t o r e capitalize Greece banks, while a second slice of 16 billion euros will be paid in installments, starting with 13 billion euros by Aug. 20 when Greece must make anew debt payment to the European Central Bank.

The statement m a kes clearthat Carter's cancer is widely spread but not where it originated, or even if that is known at this point. The liver isoften a place where cancer spreads and less commonly is the primary source of it. The statement said further information will be provided when more facts are known, "possibly next week."

Beaulieusaid the store's board met last Thursday and voted against giving the chamber $1,000to become a platinum sponsor for this year's festival.

Mosley asked what it would take to get the store back into the fold.

"An entire new board," Beaulieu responded.

Mosley said she's reached out to members of the Groveland-area business community to fill the vacant seats until the next board election at the end of October.

Hernandez said he would get together a meeting of the chamber's executive board early next week to review Mosley's list and potentially make appointments to the vacant seats.

REUNION Continued from Page Al Driving in Howard's car listening to Elvis Presley, Bobby Darin and The Beatles was the extent of Sundborg's partying, but she remembers alotofclassmates out at "beer can corner" on Yankee Hill.

The "hot spot" in town was The Europa on South Washington Street. The landmark restaurant that opened in the early1900s closed in June.

Sonora architect and fellow classmate Copper Kessel remembers a loving but stern waitress, popular among the high schoolers.

"Marie atEuropa would take good care of us ... and provide discipline if necessary. If you got out of line, you were going down," said Kessel.

Fries and Roquefort dressing were the order of the day.

"You could get a big plate of French fries for a buck I think," said classmate Ronny Hobbs.

The restaurant is where Hobbs proposedto his wife, where they ate aRer the wedding and the first place he went upon return from Vietnam in 1968.

Hobbs was drafted the Augustaftergraduation.

He remembers Sonora as a "good ol' boys" town, where as a teenager he did a "man' s work" and supplied families with food he hunted in the now-developed Phoenix Lake area.

Hobbs said at 13 he would drive — unlicensed — to work as a carpenter, logger and apple picker.

Despite the turmoil, plans are still in place to hold the annual 49er Festival scheduled for Sept. 19.

A number of committees have been formed to help organize the festival.

BarbaraBroad,chairwoman ofthenonprofi t Groveland Area Involved Neighbors, said the organization has entered a fiscal agreement

with the chamber to cover up to $5,000 of the pre-festival expenses, which would be repaid through festival revenues.

After returning to Sonora in 1968, Hobbs was harassed for his service in Vietnam, and was shocked to see the school allow female students to wear jeans and skirts cut above the knee, he said.

"Us, we couldn't wear just a T-shirt. Jeans ... the only time they'd let girls wear jeans was at the Roundup," Hobbs said.

School's Parent Nursery School closed in its 60th year after the district cut its funding. " Parents held onto t h e school for a year, and I think they lookedfor funding and licensing, but it didn't happen. So the school dissolved and they auctioned off all the furniture. They did their very best," said Doster,the director for 14 years.

After the close, Doster continued to work with children and parents through the Center for a Non Violent Community in Sonora, a certified birth doula, and a teacher for Head Start in Jamestown, a federally funded preschool pi'ograill.

"To be given this position twice in a career is a gift," she said.

Summerville's p r eschool has existed for 45 years, and formost ofitshistory received partial operating costs from state money given to the districtfor adult education, according to former director Molly Rose.

But in June, the board voted to cut funding for the program due to a decline in state funding over the past several years, Superintendent Robert Griffith said.

"The district and parents have been discussing for years now about how to discontinue the relationship," Griffith said.

Griffith said at this point the parentsare mostly selffunded, with the district only paying for rent on the building — the old Arastraville Schoolhouse on Tuolumne

WATER Continued from Page Al lateral pipe broke Thursday afternoon. "It needs to be completely redone."

The property where Smith's daughter has lived for the past two years was impacted by the 2006 and 2008 water main breaks, too, Andres said, citing TUD records of the leaks.

"Why in the world has it happened twice in less than a decade that one of the major water mains for an entire city has gone out?" Smith asked.

leashed enough water under high pressure to wash two workers out of the hole, including one who weighed about 200 pounds.

"Typically these type of water mains would be put in the road, under the road," Andres said. But 80 years ago, whoever approved these water mains allowed them to be placed in people's backyards and other locations that are not on main streets. What that results in, in some cases, houses are in low spots and that's where the water's going to run.

"We are concerned for our custom-

ersin respectto repairing thosetype situations, but because of the other pressing capital improvement needs in the district it is unlikely that this particular water main section would

be replaced in the near future."

Perkins said TUD responds to well over 300 leaks a year.

"There are pipes underground right now that are leaking that we don't know about until they get big enough or come to the surface," Andres said. "On the low end, you probablylose5 percent ofyourwateron a new system. Some might run 20 percent in losses due to leaks. That's the way it is. You have water under high pressure in an underground system."

It's unclear how much water TUD loses due to leaks, Perkins said.

"We' re obviously losing more water than we should be, due to the bad water mains," Perkins said. "No matter what we' re losing, it's too much."

If you' re fortunate to travel to the

destination you' re theming your interior afier, take the opportunity to acquire authentic pieces to accent your home. Don't rely on luck to find the right stuff, but do as I do when shopping for myself or clients — defineyour shopping plan before you go. Know your needs with respect to your style and space. Make a list and include all necessary measurements.

If color matching or coordinating, ensure you pack your existing fabric and paint swatches.

Confirm the shipping costs for your potential purchases. It's extremely disappointing to find a b eautiful pieceoffurniture atagreatprice only to discover that the shipping cost is four times what you paid for it.

Furthermore, educate yourself prior to departure. By preparing yourself with some knowledge about the history and art of your destination, you'll be better equipped to determine the value and authenticity of the potential decor items.

Skip the tourist traps and go to local markets and antique stores. In the past I' ve found myself in some unique architectural salvage yards; but hey, that's part of the journey!

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 588-4548 or e-mail orebau h©uniondemocrat.corn

Genetic high cholesterol may not require statin DEAR DK ROACK I need a second opinion. I was diagnosed with familial hypercholester olemia about 30 years ago and have gone through about six doctors (ranging from internist to surgeon to general practitioner) during that time.

My new doctor, having never treated this condition, is now asking me, "How aggressive do you want to be?" I took niacin for many years in the past, but I discontinued it due to recent findings about its lack of efficacy and potential harm.

Iam a female in goodhealth approaching 73; I watch my diet and am a faithful exerciser (five days a week, which currently includes biking 10 miles or walking three miles).

He placed me on a 20-milligram trial doseofCrestordaily.Itake noothermedications but vitamins (fish oil, calcium plus). I am alarmed by this approach, and am confusedand uncertain about what to do. The rub is that he showed up wearing blue jeans and sandals.— M.T. ANSWER: Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic condition of high LDL cholesterol, which is present from birth.

The disorder can be diagnosed by a ge-

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. netic test of an abnormal LDL receptor, but it is considered probable in people with high or very high LDL levels and evidenceof cholesteroldeposits on tendons, called xanthomata, or cholesterol plaques near the eyes, called xanthelasma. Premature coronary artery disease is very likely in true FH. I'm not sure if your diagnosis of FH is correct without knowing whether you have these physical exam findings, which by themselves arenotnecessaril y indicative ofa genetic condition.

I put the personal information you provided in your letter into an online calculatorand found your risk ofa heart attack in the next 10 years is about 3 percent. Readers can do the same at www. cvdrisk.nhlbi.nih.gov. Based on t h at

number, taking a medication like Crestor or other statin generally would not be recommended.

Other concerns, such as a significant family history, might push me to recomm end treatment.

Ifyou don'thave a very bad family history for heart disease, and considering your concerns about taking medication, most experts would not recommend medication treatment for you.

Ask yourdoctorhow much benefi t you could expect from taking the Crestor.

His wearing sandals and blue jeans is less important to me than his ability to explain why you should take a medication that appears to me, based only on the informationyou've provided,to have very little benefit.

tart cherry juice really help my joints feel better? — C.H. ANSWElt Cherry juice is a traditional remedy for arthritis, and it contains compounds that improve pain and reduce inflammation. Some early studies suggested that drinking tart cherry juice improved symptoms of arthritis. However, a well-done study in 2013 showed that although symptoms objectively improved after six weeks on the tart cherry juice, the difFerence was not statistically significantly difFerent from the group that took a placebo (black-cherry soft drink mix).

It'spossible the study missed thetrue, beneficial effects of cherry juice. However, the study could not prove improvement in symptoms of arthritis compared with a placebo.

Dn Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column uhenever possible.

Today in history Today is Saturday, August 15, the 227th day of 2015. There are 138 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On August 15, 1945, Japan's Emperor Hirohito announced in a recorded radio address that his country had accepted terms of surrender for ending World

War Ii. On this date: In 1483, the Sistine Chapel was consecrated by Pope Sixtus IV. In 1812, the Battle of Fort Dearborn took place as Potawatomi warriors attacked a U.S. military garrison of about 100 people. (Most of the garrison was killed, while the remainder were taken prisoner.)

In 1914, the Panama Canal officially opened as the SS Ancon crossed the just-completed waterway between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

In 1935, humorist Will Rogers and aviator Wiley Post were killed when their airplane crashed near Point Barrow in the Alaska Territory.

In 1939, the MGM musical "The Wizard of Oz" opened atthe Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywoocl.

In 1965, The Beatles played to a crowd of more than 55,000 at New York' s Shea Stadium.

In 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair opened in upstate New York.

In 1995, the Justice Department agreed to pay $3.1 million to white separatist Randy Weaver and hisfamily to settle their claims over the killing of Weaver's wife and son during a 1992 siege by federal agents at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. Pioneering TV journalist and Timex watch pitchman John Cameron Swayze died in Sarasota, Flonda, at age 89.

Note East's play of his lowest diamond.

South starts with eight top tricks: two spades, three hearts, one diamond (at trick one) and two clubs. So, one more winner is needed. That is easily available in clubs, but declarer must make sure that East doesn't get on play. Otherwise, East will return a diamond, and the defenders will run the suit.

South should lead the club two to dummy's ace, then run the club jack or nine through East. Here, declarer cruises home with at least one overtrick.

BALTIMORE (AP) — In a disappointing season filled with &ustrating defeats, the Oakland Athletics added one more lamentable loss to the ledger.

The A's blew a four-run lead, then rallied a gainst an A l l Star closer before falling to the Baltimore Oriole s 8-6 Friday night on Manny Machado's game-winning home run in the 13th inning.

This defeat was more painful than most. Stephen Vogt homered and Oakland had 17 hits, including four from Coco Crisp, but the A's went 5 for 16 with runners in scoring position, stranded 13 and had

Earthquakes win 1-0 over Colorado SAN JOSE (AP) — Clarence Goodson scored on a header early in the second half and the San Jose Earthquakes ended a six-game winless streak with a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids on Friday night.

Quincy Amarikwa chipped the ball high on net in the 53rd minute, with Goodson getting his head on it from point-blank range and putting it in the upper corner for his second goal of the season.

San Jose (8-10-5) has 29 points and is three points behind Seattle for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Just a minute earlier Colorado's Dillon Powers put a header off the post. The Rapids (5-9-9), who lost their third straight, are last in the West with 24 points.

Amarikwa, who had scored in the previous four games, had the only good chance in the first half but was robbed by the quick hands of Clint Irwin.

I recently heard John Rago, of the High Rollers league, speaking about his poor bowling performances oflate.

Well, now he doesn't have much to complain about on the lanes.

Rago found his line and bowled the high series for men, and the only 700 series forthisreport,a 710.

H e almost pulled t h e sweep but was edged out of the top game by Dan Isam, of Summer Trios, by a single pin, 258 to 257. For Rago, his high scores were 75/164 pins over his averages.

Carr, Cooper help Raiders beat Rams in exhibition OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Derek Carrmight already have a new favorite receiver.

Carr completed three passes to Oakland AmariCooper on an opening field-goal drive and the Raiders beat the St. Louis Rams 18-3 in their exhibition opener under new coach Jack Del Rio. Carr kept looking for Cooper and threw an interception to Trumaine Johnson in the end zone on the second drivebefore turning thegame over to the backups. Cooper, the fourth pick in the drak, finished with three catches for 22 yards and added a 3-yard run

on an end-around as he tries to become the game-breaking receiver lacking in Oaldand the past decade.

The Raiders have not had a 1,000yard receiver since Randy Moss in 2005. They added Cooper and Michael Crabtree this ofKseason in hopes of changing that. Crabtreecaught two passes for 15 yards.

Oakland provided that four-run cushion to left-hander Brad Mills, who was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to make his 2015 major league debut.

Mills came in 3-0 with a 1.56 ERA lifetime against Baltimore and 1-4 with a 10.16 ERA against everyone else.

"It makes it a little more painful when you give it up like that," Mills said."I feel like I kind of let them back in and got the crowd back in it. It's very disappointing."

BIUEFS Red Soxmanager Farrell has lymphona BOSTON — Fighting back tears, Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell said Friday that he had a "highly curable" form of cancer and has taken a medical leave forthe rest ofthe sea-

son to deal with lymphoma.

The 53-year-old Farrell said bench coach Torey Lovullo will run the team in his absence. Farrell said he planned on being back with the team for spring training.

Farrellsaid the cancer of the lymphatic system was discovered when he had hernia surgery in Detroit earlier this week.

"I know w e u sually start out with the injury report. I' ll start out with myself on this one. Monday's surgery for the hernia revealed that I have lymphoma," he said before Friday night's game at Fenway Park against Seattle.

"Thankfully, it was detected in the hernia surgery. I can honestly tell you I'm extremely fortunate that it was found.

Treatment will begin in the coming days," he said.

Farrell said a mass was completely removed during the procedure and no additional surgery was necessary. He said chemotherapy would start early next week.

Red Sox stars David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia stood along a wall to Farrell's le when he made the announcement. Vice President Sam Kennedy, general manager B en Cherington and Lovullo also were in the room.

Farrell g uided B oston to the World Series championship in his first season in 2013. He previously managed the Toronto Blue Jays for two years.

Bra+s lawyersfile

more papers in suit NEW YORK — Tom

Brady's attorneys filed more papers Friday in U.S. District Court in his lawsuit to overturn his fourgame suspension by the NFL for his role in the use of deflated footballs in the AFC championship game.

Lawyers for the star quarterback of the Patriotsstressed in their memorandum of law that the league is attempting to misdirect the court and "at every turn, the NFL misstates the record."

Judge Richard B erman has instructed both sidesto attempt to reach a settlement, and to tone down rhetoric in the case.

There apparently was little progress last Wednesday when Brady and NFL C ommissioner Ro g e r Goodellappeared in Berman's court. Goodell upheld the suspension when Brady appealed, leading to the suit.

Both sides are due in court again next Wednesday.

NASCAR sticking with original +les package BROOKLYN, Mich.

NASCAR will stick with its original 2015 rules package throughout the Chase for the Sprint Cup after switching to track-specific packages for a handful of races recently.

A h i gh-drag aerodynamic package was used at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last month and will be in place again this weekend at Michigan, and it received some criticism &om drivers.

But a low-downforce package put in place at Kentucky was more popular, and it will be used again at Darlington next month.

But when the 10-race Chase begins Sept. 20 at Chicagoland, the original rules will be used.

Steve OT)onnell, NASCAR's executive vice president and chief racing development officer, announced

the decision Friday after a meeting with drivers at Michigan.

Japan's Iwata matches major record with 63 SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP)Hiroshi Iwata of Japan fired a 90-yard wedge from the rough on No. 18 that nearly rolled in before settling 3 feet from the cup. That tap-in par fora 63 was the bestscore at the PGA Championship so far and good enough to match the lowest single round ever in a major.

"I'm honored to be here to be interviewed. But when I came in," Iwata smiled and said through an interpreter," I thought it was going to be more people."

Iwata's round Friday was 14 strokes better than his o pening-day score of 7 7 ,

which came in drier, much w indier conditions. He i s at 4-under 140 for the tournament, five shots behind leaders Jason Day and Matt Jones when play was suspended for the day because of a storm.

Just two months ago, Iwata shot a 10-under 62 in the secondround oftheThailand Open. Asked the difference between those rounds, he laughed and said, "Just one shot different. Nothing else."

The 34-year-old pro has won twice on Japan's tour

and is currently No. 2 on the money list. This was his first PGA Championship and only

his second time playing in the United States, following an appearance at the Sony Open in Hawaii, where he failed to make the cut. His best finish on the PGA Tour was a tiefor third at the World Golf ChampionshipHSBC event in November.

Iwata said courses on this side of the Pacific were considerably more challenging because of the long par 4s.

"In Japan, I don't shoot a long iron a lot, but here I have to," he said.

This was the 27th round of 63 recordedata m ajor— the 13th at a PGA. The previous one came from Jason Dufner

at the PGA in 2013 at Oak Hill Country Club.

A63, a Jordan Speitb rally and a storm delay at PGA SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — The secondround ofthe PGA Championship offered a little bit of everything Friday.

Except a conclusion.

On one side of the golf course, Jordan Spieth was piling up enough birdies to momentarily tie for the lead at Whistling Straits. On the other side with far less attention, Kroshi Iwata ran off five birdies and an eagle and tied the major championship record with a 63.

Dustin Johnson was losing ground in the rough and in the bunkers, falling out of the lead with three bogeys in a four-hole stretch. John Daly lost his cool and then lost a 6-iron when he heaved it in Lake Michigan.

within the league who wonder if bringing two teams simultaneously to market in Los Angeles is such a terrific idea.

Two sudden teams would mean selling twice as many tickets and club seats and suites, dumping a lot of inventory out there at once. A safer choice would be to award just one team to Los Angeles and test the waters to gauge the area'strue pro football demand before adding a second franchise.

One little-discussed element of the L.A. scenario is the "relocation fee" that must be paid by whichever team

San Diego and Oakland, with hopes of inducing more civic cooperation.

Rams move to I A. and are forced to take one other team as ajoint tenant.

In this vision, the Rams and either the Chargers or Raiders hit town together — at the Hollywood Park site that seems more equippedto be done sooner — and turn Los Angeles instantly into a twoteam town with the full force of the NFL's marketing machinery.

But the question is, would the league give Kroenke the right to choose that team? (My guess: Yes.) And which &anchise would become the second team? (My hunch: Chargers.)

And would the other team then bea strong candidate for a move to St. Louis, where the city has assembled a seemingly realistic stadium package in hopes of keeping the Rams?

(My deduction: Yes.) Raiders and Chargers are given the glen light to go ahead and buiM their stadium in carson, while Rams stay put in St. Louis.

This possibility does not rank as high as the previous two simply because the Carson deal contains more moving parts. The stadium site is a former landfill, and an envi-

Even with a record-tying score, he still has plenty of work ahead of him to do that. Iwata was at 4-under 140 and losing ground as one player after another took aim at Whistling Straits in good scoring conditions.

Day was through 14 holes while Jones, his fellow Australian, was through 12 holes and on the &ont nine.

Day shared the 54-hole lead at the U.S. Open while coping with vertigo symptoms. He missed by one turn of the golf ball a birdie on the 18th hole at St. Andrews that would have put him in a playoff at the British Open.

Now it looks like he gets yet another chance. He was thrilled to stop play, especially as the storm clouds turned dark and he had trouble with depth perception on some of his wedges.

Dustin Johnson, the 18-hole leader, took a brief lead at 8 under until he ran into trouble on the par-5 11th with a wicked lie in the bunker that led to bogey. He added two more bogeys and was four shots out of the lead at 5 under.

Rory McIlroy had hopes of being a little closer to the lead. Coming off an ankle injury that has kept him out since the U.S. Open, he world's No. 1 player went cold with the putter and had tosettle for another round of 71 that put him at 2-under 142.

As for Daly?

and was the clubhouse leader at 7-under 137. One shot behind was a group that included Spieth, the Masters and U.S. Open champion who is very much in the picture to join Woods and Ben Hogan as the only players to win three majors in one year.

Scott Piercy (70) and Brendan Steele (69) joined Spieth at 6-under 138.

The star of the day was Iwata, a 34-year-old from Japan who had every reason to think his first appearance in the PGA Championship would be a short one. He opened with a 77 and still was 3 over when he reached the back nine. Iwata reeled off five birdies and an eagle, and he saved par on the 18th for a 63.

Rookie Mariota struggles early as Falcons top Titans ATLANTA (AP) — Tennessee rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota, whose first two drives ended with an interception and a fumble, recovered to lead a touchdown drive in the Titans' 31-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in a preseason opener Friday night.

Atlanta's Matt Ryan completed allsix passes for 86 yards on his only possession, including a 13-yard touchdown to Julio Jones.

With the assistance of Mariota's early turnovers, the Falcons led 17-0 behindnew coach Dan Quinn before the Titans pulled even at 24. Michael Ford's 1-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter snapped the tie.

Mariota, the No. 2 overall draft pick, went 7 of 8 for 94 yards. Paul Worrilow returned Mariota's fumble 14 yards for a touchdown.
