OPlnlOn — Lines blur Christelle Harris spent seven years in the U.S. Air Force, flying around the world as an airplane mechanic. She later earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and was about to finish a master's program in clinical psychology when a distracted driver ran a stop sign and changed the trajectory of Harris' life. Harris has recovered her physical fitness, but she is one of 5.3 million Americans who live with a traumatic brain injury. For her, that means even everyday tasks such as shopping can be difficult. She makes listsof stores she needs to visit so she doesn't forget where she is or what she is supposed to buy.

On a recent Friday night, Harris was at a barbecue with her boyfriend and she was tired from having helped him move his belongings into her apartment. When they were walking out of the party, "all of a sudden, my brain just shut off and I just fell over," Harris said. "Everyone thought I was super drunk, but I wasn' t. It happens a lot — if I'm super fatigued."

GUEST COLUMN

Lines blur further between citizens and non-citizens Almost no one seemed to notice last month, when California's new budget took effect, that yet another distinction between citizens and non-citizens was breached. Voting now is about the only area left with a clear line between legal immigrants and citizens. Even for the undocumented, there arefew privileges or rights they can't now enjoy. ' K'1' The state budget signed by G.v. Je~ Brown in the last days of June contributed its share to this blurring by making immigrant children, regardless of their legal status, eligible for Medi-Cal, the state's public healthcare program. The expansion of care to under-18 immigrants will take efFect next May, costing taxpayers approximately $182 million a year. The budget also creates $880 million worth of earned income tax credits for poor families who file tax returns, in effect boosting the incomes of about 825,000 families by an average of about $460 a year. Citizenship is not a requirement. As of Jan. 1,legalim migration status also ceased to be neededforgetting a drivers license,although licenses for the undocumented look different from those obtained by U.S. citizens and legal immigrants. Just one year earlier, undocumented immigrants acquired the right to practice law under a bill signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. They also can now serve as election workers at the polls, even if they can't vote. And this month in Huntington Park, undocumented immigrants were appointed to

I ENCE WE NPKHS

But Brown has stopped short of allowing non-citizens either to vote or serve on juries, vetoing two bills that handily passedthe Legislature. So there remain two key difFerences between non-citizens and cit izens,the ability to decide the fate ofaccused criminals or to rule in civil cases and the right to vote on serious matters of public policy and choose civic leaders to serve in offices from City Hall to the White House. But keeping those remaining rights and duties reserved exclusively for citizens is not a certainty. In New York City, for example, left-leaning Mayor Bill de Blasio and the equally liberal city council are considering a law allowing all legal residents, regardless of citizenship, to votein city elections.Thereare already a few placesthat allow something like this, most notably Chicago, where noncitizens with children enrolled in public schools can vote in schoolboard elections. Pushing a right to vote for New York's non-citizens, one Queens College political scientist argues that "People are New Yorkers in profound ways without being citizens of the United States." Non-citizens make up more than one-third of thepopulace of some city counciland school board districts there, notes that city's Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund. It's no different today in plenty of legislative and congressional districts around California. That's a key reason a mere 46,000 votes were cast last fall in the East Los Angeles district represented by Democratic Congressman Xavier Becerra, less than one-third the number that voted in the Orange County district of Republican Dana Rohrabacher. Becerra's district is largely peopled by immigrant non-citizens, contrasting hugely with coastal Orange County. Some immigrant advocates, like activists pushing voting rights for non-citizens in New York City, maintain accurately that non-citizens are equally afFected by public policy from tax levies to road building. So, they say, these folks should have a voice in those matters. The argument on the other side is that if duties and privilegeslong accorded only to citizens were to be assigned or given to non-citizens, what's point of citizenship? What's the incentive to learn American history and values, both integral to the exam immigrants must pass before they can be naturalized? Blur the distinctions between citizens and those who are

not, and what's le@ to move people toward citizenship? Perhaps just the reality that only citizenship would guarantee anyone the right to stay in this country if political winds ever shift radically and result in a mass expulsion of noncitizens, as some presidentialcandidatesnow advocate. The bottom line: it's probably time to stop further blurring of lines between citizens and people who make that commitment and pledge of loyalty. That's the only way to make sure people who have sworn allegiance to the United Statesare theonesmaking policy here,atalllevels.

Some peoplechoose to be homeless The Obama Department of Justice argued last week that a Boise, Idaho, law against "public sleeping in a city without adequateshelterspaceconstitutescriminalizing homelessness itself, in violation of the Eighth Amendment." In a statement of interest filed in federal court, the Obama administration asserted that banning sleeping and camping in public places constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment." Republican candidates, please take note. Mike Journee, spokesman for Boise Mayor David Bieter, described his city as "a fairly progressive island in a deeply red state. " Bieter is trying to address homelessness, Journee told me, 'from a holistic standpoint" — and with compassion. That said, the Obama statement is "misguided" in that it is based on a notion that "those experiencing homelessness have no recourse and we are willynilly criminalizing this by writing tickets for people who have no options.

"We fundamentally disagree that people don't have a choice," quoth Journee. Some "are choosing not to avail themselvesof the services that are here." They congregate in camps where "there' s inevitably conflict. There are inevitably public health issues. There is also illegal activity." That's why Boise police make arrests. In this story, it depends on what the m eaningof"adequate shelterspace"is. Homeless advocates and the Obama administration have a high standard. Eric Tars, senior attorney for the National Law Center on Homeless & Poverty, which first filed the lawsuit against Boise in 2009, told me, "It's not OK even if there are enough shelter beds." And: "Not allpeople are able to access shelnot the case." Homeless advocates have a mantra: ter beds."

can pitch a tent on San Francisco's Market Street and the police can't do anything? He answered, "Anyone who needs a place to stay to survive should be able to shelter themselves as best they can." Tars is right about the downside of law enforcement. Arrests can tarnish a homeless person's record and hence his or her ability to get a job. Law enforcement is expensive. It doesn't always work. Local governments should look for common-sense prescriptions that reduce

homelessness. Tars points to a successful housing program in Salt Lake City. The key, he said, is to provide housing — perhaps without preconditions, such as that those given housing not use illegal drugs or alcohol. Do that and "in the short term, you dohave to tolerate the tent cities a little bit longer." Those tent cities are breeding grounds for crime. So why is it that the only people who really get a choice under the Obama administration's regime are the

people who make really bad choices? Debra Saunders is a syndicated newspaper columnist who writes about

Mimi V. Eilrich passed on to her eternal resting place and everlasting life on Friday, August 7, zotel in Soulsbyville CA. She was 84 yearsold. She passed peacefully in her home surrounded by her loved ones. Mimi was born October z5, t93o in Elmhurst, Illinois, the third child of Donald and Katherine Pieri. Mimi spent her early years in Illinois, going to school and singing - her passion. At t7 years old Mimi recorded her fist vinyl record, a collection of opera songs entitled Mimi Sings for You. She was very ardent about music and performed often, and was always a member of her church choir. While attending college in her early twenties, she met the love of her life, William L. Eilrich Jr. (Bill), on a blind date set up by mutual friends. After a short courtship, Bill and Mimi got married on May z4, t95z. She passed up a scholarship to Iulliard School of Arts to start a family — and start they did. Bill and Mimi eventually had ten lovely, healthy — and perhaps somewhat over-exuberant — children. The Eilrichs moved to California in t96t where Bill took a job as an engineer at Lockheed. They bought their lifelong home in Santa Clara. At 5o years old, Mimi decided to go back to school and become a registered nurse. She graduated at the top of her class at Columbia College. She went on to work as a charge nurse at Kaiser Hospital in Santa Clara, working in Pediatrics and the Cancer Unit. Bill and Mimi were married for 46 years when Bill passed away from cancer in 1998.

Court rejects Oakland suit Nefflix over marijuana dispensary facing SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The federal government's decision to try to seize the property of a large medical marijuana dispensary cannot be second-guessed by a court, a federalappeals court ruled Thursday as it rejected a lawsuit by a California city that wants to keep the dispensary open.

The court af5rmed a lower court ruling dismissing the city's lawsuit against the attorney general and U.S. attorney for Northern California.

NOTICE OFEVIDENTIARY HEARINGS REGARDING PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRICCOMPANY'S REQUEST TO INCREASE YOUR RATES FOR COSTS RELATING TODIABLO CANYON SEISMIC STUDIES AND RENEWABLES PORTFOLIOSTANDARD (A.15-02-023) September 10-11, 2015 Startin at 10:00 a.m. at the address below: California Public Utilities Commission Courtroom State Office Building 505 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA 94102

Summary On February 27, 2015, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PGBE) submitted an application to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting to increase its electric rates. This application requests approval to recover costs associated with two separate issues. 1. Seismic studies performed at Diablo Canyon Power Plant 2. Consultant fees incurred by the CPUC, which are billed to PGB E, for studies related to California's Renewable Portfolio Standard PG8 Ewas directed by the CPUCto include the review, and recovery, of these costs in its annual Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA)Compliance proceeding. Background The Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) seismic studies were conducted in response to both the California Energy Commission's recommendations and Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing requirements. In Decisions 10-08-003 and 12-09-008, the CPUC approved PG&E's proposal for enhanced seismic studies to assess the potential vulnerabilities at DCPP due to a major seismic event. These decisions also directed PG&E to submit the cosls for review of the studies in the ERRACompliance proceeding. In Decision 14-08-032, the CPUC directed PG&E to include any costs associated with PG8E's Long-Term Seismic Studies Program in the ERRACompliance proceeding. This application will also address costs associated with independent consultants hired by the CPUCto support the implementation and administration of the Renewables Portfolio Standard. The Renewables Porffolio Standard is a state mandate that requires utilities to provide a minimum percentage of their power from renewable energy resources by a certain date. PG8E pays its portion of the costs from independent consultants once the invoices are reviewed and approved by the CPUC. These costs are included for review in this application, as authorized in Decision 06-1 0-050.

protests SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Netflix is getting jeered for excluding the employees in its DVD-by-mail service from a recently introduced benefit that gives up to a yearofpaid leavetom ostof its workers after the birth or adoption of a baby. At least three online petitions posted by activist groups are urging Netflix to extend the baby benefit beyond the roughly 2,000 workers in

t h e I n t ernet

Netfiix has about 450 temporary, part- and fullt ime employees in i t s steadily shrinking but still profitable DVD division. The protesting groups contend Netflix is unfairly favoring the mostly highpaid computer programmers and other technology specialists working in its Internetvideo service over the lower-paid employees who sort through discs and stufF envelopes in the distribution centers that receive and send DVDs. Many of the DVD workers are paid by the hour and make a fraction of s i x -figure s a l a ries

doled out to many of the Internet video service employees. Netflix pay varies widely, ranging from $15 f o r c u stomer-

service representatives to more than $200,000 annually for software engineers, according to information shared by company workers.

In its ERRA Compliance application, PGBE has requested to collect $8.933 million in rates from customers who receive electric generation as well as transmission and distribution service from PGB E,known as bundled service customers. Rates for customers who purchase electricity from other suppliers (such as direct access and community choice aggregation) and rates for departing load customers will not be affected by these specific costs.

EVIDENTIARY HEARINGS At the evidentiary hearings noted above, PG&Eand other formal parties to the proceeding will present their evidence through testimony and will be subject to cross-examination before an Administrative Law Judge (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 PG&E's proposal, modify it or reject it. Any one of the five Commissioners may also issue an alternate decision based on the record. The proposed decision and any alternate will be acted upon at a CPUC Voting Meeting where the Commissioners will decide whether to adopt the proposed or an alternate decision. As a party of record, the Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA) reviewed this application. ORA is the independent consumer advocate within the CPUC with a legislative mandate to represent investorowned utility customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels. The ORAhas a multi-disciplinary staff with expertise in economics, finance, accounting and engineering. Other parties of record will also participate in the CPUC's proceeding to consider this application.

3immy Carter talks about his cancer ATLANTA — With a broad smile and an upbeat attitude, former President J i mmy Carter told the world Thursday that he has cancer in his brain,and feels "perfectly at ease with whatever comes." Carter said doctors had removed melanoma from his liver, but found four small tumors in his brain. Later Thursday, he received radiation treatment. He also began receiving injections of a newly approved drug to help his immune system seek out and

destroy the cancer cells wherever else they may appear. Wearing blue jeans and a blazer, Carter spoke with good humor and unsparing honesty, revealing that he had kept suspicions of cancer from his wife, Rosalynn, for weeks until the diagnosis was confirmed in June.

That's a large margin for weather records, with previous monthly heat records broken by a 20th of a degree or less. NOAA records go back to 1880.

HARRIS Continued from Page Al

Before the accident Harris, 36, was born in Sonora at Tuolumne General Hospital. She moved to Monterey for high school. In August 2001, Harris signed up for the U.S. Air Force Reservesand was stationed at Travis Air Force Base near Sacramento. Afterthe Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, she was called up to full-time duty. Harris was a KC-10 crew chief, traveling with the plane all over the world, refueling planes in mid-air and dropping off cargo and troops. She was discharged in 2008. While in t h e m i l itary, Harris took online classes through the University of Phoenix and earned her bachelor's degree in psychology. Her goal was to become a licensed clinical mental health psychologist. She had earliercompleted an associate's degree in English, but said she didn't think she could make a living off a career in English. "I think when I was little, there was always something in the back of my mind that I wanted to be a counselor and

help people," Harris said. After astint as a camp helper in the backcountry of Yosemite National park, Harris enrolled in a master' s program at the University of Phoenix, Salt Lake City campus in 2009. She was in top physical shape, bicycling 30 to 40 miles at a time on the road, and was a certified yoga instructor.

She had applied to several internships in the mental health field and was about to finish up her last couple of classes. While in Salt Lake City, she worked as a house manager for a program that helped women with addictions recover and get their children back. She a l so worked nights as a psychology technician at Primary Children's Hospital in Utah for children with mental disabilities, Harris said. "I was helping people. It was incredible," she said. "I loved to see people coming out of that darkness in their lives and having more fulfillment. That was beautiful to me."

Harris, 36, said sports helped with recovery from her traumatic brain injury. or dumping snow. Harris was in the bike lane and looked in all directions. Before continuing through the stop, she saw a car coming toward her, about 50 feet away. "I made eye contact with the driver. Or I thought I made eye contact, but he just blew through the stop," Harris said. "The police report said he was going 45 miles an hour. He T-boned me." Harris flew into the man' s windshield backwards and head-first. "I don'tremember anything but cracking noises and then nothing," she said. The driver had been texting and driving. He got a $90 ticket for failing to yield. There were a couple of eyewitnesses who called 911 and she was taken by ambulance to the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City. She was placed in the hospital's Neurocritical Care unit. "Luckily in Utah there's all these ski resorts where people bang their heads," Harris said.

She had a cone-fractured skull and was in a semi-coma for three days. In cone frac-

tures, the bone is bent inward like a cone, with the inner table of the skull fracturing at the apex of the cone. Basically, the back of her skull was smashed in, Harris said. Harris had swelling inside and outside of the skull, and to this day still has hydrocephaly, or brain swelling.

The accident

Waking up

Harris was riding her orange beach cruiser home from the public library in Salt Lake City on a summer afternoon. It was about 6 p.m. and still light out. S he regularly di d h e r homework at the public library that was about 10 blocks from her house. "It's a nice library, it's really gorgeous," Harris said, explaining its modern architecture and six stories. The top floor had big windows and lots of desks. She always rode her bike there and back, along pretty much the same route. Salt Lake City is organized in square city blocks, and is easy to get around by bike, Harris said. That June day in 2013, Harris came up to a four-way stop three blocks from her

"The first thing I remember, I had no idea what had happened. I woke up and I was really scared," Harris said.

going tobe disabled for the rest of their life," Harris said. "They' ve just woken up, and they' re going to be disabled forever." Harris said she had a hard time walking with a walker formore than 300-400 feetat a time without sitting down. "I was very dizzy, and my legs were really weak. I would get sick to my stomach," she said. Harris stayed in the hospital another day before she demanded to be discharged. "I was pretty bad, pretty brutal.I wanted to leave," she said. Harris thought if she could just leave the hospital, she would be OK She says now, she had no idea how much she wasfaclllg.

She had six weeks of doctors' appointments ahead of her for physical therapy, neurology and speech therapy. Her mom, Alexa Melville, of Sonora, stayed with her for two weeks and helped Harris get walking before having to return to Sonora to resume her role as caregiver for Harris' grandfather. Harris is an only child and said her mom was afraid she would die a6er the accident. "I think she was really scared," she said. The doctors worried, too. 'They were worried I'd decline. They were worried I'd have hydrocephaly. They were worried that I wouldn' t be able to walk," Harris said. They also warned her of seizures, which she ended up getting, and the doctors worried she wouldn't be able to live independently, which she has since her mom went home. After the accident, Harris woke up with a "pretty severe" stutter and briefly saw a speech therapist. Harris says she quit going after two weeks and regained her speech by reading books aloud, and talking to friends a lot. She also got verbal aphasia, where she will forget simple words for items like cup. "It's like dementia. It's awful," Harris said. After the accident, Harris stayed in Utah for three

"My mom was there in the hospital. She had flown from California,so that scared me," Harris said. "I was freaking out." She woke up hooked up to a bunch of machines. "To wake up and have this darkness in my life was horrific," Harris said. She swung her feet around to jump out of bed and all the nurses rushed her with their hands held up. "Hold on! You have a brain injury," they told her. They told Harris about the accident and that she had a months. "I had to come back to severe traumatic brain inCalifornia.

Recovery Harris said TBI affected her in ways that are hard for her to describe. Her coordinationafterthe accident was jerky and slow. She had a hard time lifting her arms and legs. She was also tingly in her extremities. To combat these things, her physical therapist had her go up and down stairs and do laps around the o6ice for an hour and a half. "It was exhausting. Sometimes I would go home and be so exhausted I would have a seizureor sleep for four hours," Harris said. Harris said she used a cane forabout a year after the accident but one day decided she didn't want to use it anymore. While Harris was recovering in Monterey, (her favorite outdoor gem), she started surfing again and riding her bike. She started running and doing yoga again. "Doing sports again, it brought back my balance. It made me feel alive again. It made me feel human," Hars said.

She started skiing again last winter in Bear Valley and is back to being able to ride 30to 40 miles on her road bike. She was determined to come back from her injury. "I have to come out of this," she said she told herself. "I think a lot of it has to do with me wanting to step up and have people get the point. People get behind the wheel and have no idea how important it is to consider all of the other human beings out there."

The statistics A non-fatal, severe TBI may result in an extended period of unconsciousness (coma) or amnesia after the injury. For people hospitalized aSer a TBI, 43 percent have a related disability one year after the injury. A traumatic brain injury interferes with the way the brain normally works. When nerve cells in the brain are damaged, they can no longer send information to each other in the normal way, according to the Model Systems Knowledge Training Center, funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation. This causes changes in the person's behavior and abilities. The Centers for Disease

In October2014, Harris was admitted to Sonora Regional Medical Center because she had a bad seizure and stopped breathing. She had tobe puton a respirator. She continues to be monitored by a neurologist in San Francisco. "Anything that requires organization takes me much longer," Harris said. "All of this because of an inattentive driver. My life was incredible. I had everything going for me," Harris said. "I would be a therapist. I would be helping people." Now Harris is on permanent disability and had to file bankruptcy.

work, travel, memories By LYDIA BROWNING The Union Democrat

Enjoying shared interests is what Lloyd and Martha Kramer credit for their long marriage. The Kramers celebrated their 70th anniversary July 23 with a party at Skyline Place Senior Living in Sonora.

The couple met on a skiing trip in 1943, when Martha was a student at theUniversity ofColorado, Boulder, and Lloyd was in Colorado training to work as a Russian interpreter for the U.S. Navy. On that particular trip, Martha's brother, Bob, who also attended the university, picked her and her friends up at their dorm about 4 a.m. Martha sat by Lloyd on the drive there, but couldn't see him, she said, because it wasn't light outside yet. The group drove around in a 1928 hearse that Bob had permission to borrow. The hearse's radiator had a bad habit of boiling over, and the men would often have to go through the snow and down to a creek to bring back a pail of water. When it finally did get light enough outside to see each other, Martha said she thought Lloyd was veryhandsome, and Lloyd thought Martha was beautiful. There were many adventures in that old hearse, Martha said. It was always a rush trying to get

back to the dorms in time, but they rushed and just barely made it on time. The two were married in her hometown of Belvidere, Illinois, in the summer of 1945, while Lloyd was on a week's leave &om the Navy. She was 20, he was 21. Lloyd served in World War II and, after his discharge, earned his master's degreein library science at University of California, Berkeley, and launched a career that included work at Stanford University, Washington State University, Humboldt State University, Cal Poly at Pomona, the College of St. Francis in Illinois (where he became vice president) and Long Beach State University. He retired in 1986. Martha, meanwhile, earned a historyand socialsciencedegree at Pomona and taught elementary school in Azusa, Montclair and Seal Beach in Southern California. She was a substitute teacher while they were in Illinois. She also worked in special education before retiring in 1984.

Lloyd and Martha have traveledaround the world and have visited Russia twice. They moved to Twain Harte in the 1980s and now live at Skyline Place in Sonora. Lloyd is an accomplished artist, photographer and comic illustrator. He's also made videos of many of the places to which the couple has traveled. Some of those travels include hiking the John Muir Trail and Mount Hoffmann in Yosemite National Park and climbing Mount Whitney in the Inyo National Forest. Lloyd has also enjoyed arts, languages and sailing, while Martha hasenjoyed reading and collecting dolls and teddy bears. They have two children, Andrew Kramer, and his wife,

Sharon Schwingle, of Ashland, Oregon,and Cindy Kramer, of Thonotosassa, Florida. The also have one grandchild and one great-grandchild.

NOTICE OFEVIDENTIARY HEARINGS REGARDING PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRICCOMPANY'S REQUEST TO CHANGE RATES FOR ELECTRICITYPRODUCTION IN 2016 AND THE RETURN OF REVENUES FROM THE SALE OFGREENHOUSE GAS ALLOWANCES (A.15-06-001) September 10-11, 2015 Startin at 10:00 a.m. at the address below: California Public Utilities Commission Courtroom State Office Building 505 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA 94102

Summary On June 1, 201 5,Pacific Gas and Electric (PG8 E)Company filed an application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)requesting approval for the forecasted funding required in 201 6 to obtain electricity on behalf of its customers. In addition, PG8E also requests approval of forecasted revenues from the sale of emissions allowances associated with California's Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction program. This application is referred to as the 201 6Energy Resource Recovery Account and Generation Non-bypassable Charges Forecast and Greenhouse Gas Forecast Revenue and Reconciliation Application (1 5-06-001). If approved, this application will change electrical rates and customers' electric bills. PG&E's application primarily includes requests for approval of: 1. The forecasted recovery of $4.77 billion in electricity costs. These costs are associated with the fuel needed to produce electricity as well as the costs of buying electricity from third parties, such as renewable energy producers 2. Charges associated with the Cost Allocation Mechanism, Power Indifference Amount, and Competition Transition 3. The forecast spending of $0.8 million for administrative and outreach expenses associated with California's GHG reduction program 4. The return of $311 million to eligible customers from the sale of emissions allowances All requests in this application may change and are subject to CPUCregulatory approval. About the filing The CPUC regulates and oversees all requests for any rate changes. PGBEwould not profit from any of the requests in this application. The cost of energy is passed directly to PG8E's customers without any markup. If the CPUC approves the application, PGBE will begin to recover its cosh ln electric rates, effective January 1, 2016. At the same time, PG&E will apply eligible GHG allowance revenue to rates because PGB Eis required to pass the revenue received from the sale of allowances on to its customers. This is done through rates and with California Climate Credits. The revenue will be returned to PGBE's residential, small business and some industrial customers, based on legislative and CPUC determined methods. The GHGallowance revenue bill credits reduce the electric rate impacts of the GHG costs. At the end of 2016, to ensure all funds are used on the customers' behalf, PGLE will compare the actual costs to produce and purchase energy against revenues collected from customers and will incorporate any differences in next year's application. lf approved,PG8E estimates that a typical residential customer using 500 kWh per month would see no change in the average bill of $89.30. Individual customers' bill will differ. Eligible residential customers will receive a California Climate Credit twice a year in April and October on their electricity bills of approximately $20.94.

Evidentiary Hearings At the evidentiary hearings noted above, PG8 Eand other formal parties to the proceeding will present their evidence through testimony and will be subject to cross-examination before anAdministrative Law Judge (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. Any one of the five Commissioners may also issue an alternate decision based on the record. The proposed decision and any alternate will be acted upon at a CPUC Voting Meeting where the Commissioners will decide whether to adopt the proposed or an alternate decision. CPUC Process As a party of record, the Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA) reviewed this application. ORA is the independent consumer advocate within the CPUC with a legislative mandate to represent investor-owned utility customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels. The ORA has a multi-disciplinary staff with expertise in economics, finance, accounting and engineering.

issues and manpower shortages. As the route followed the Mother Lode, workers knew with each pick they might uncovera new gold bonanza. To navigate the elevation change required by the Stanislaus River canyon, special switchbacks were designed. There were two sets of switchbacks, one set on the north side and one on the south side of the Stanislaus River canyon. Because standard-length passenger cars were too long to navigate the sharp curves, special short passenger cars were used. Traffic was light on the line, so freight and the short passenger cars were combined in the same train. This meant the car next to a passenger car might be a tank car of oil or other freight car. As transportation methods improved by the 1930s, traffic on the line decreased, and it was no longer profitable tooperate the Angels Branch. In its day (1902 to 1935), the trip o n t h e A ngels Branch was considered one of themost scenic railroad rides in the nation.

Howaml,Beasley to play br US CHICAGO (AP)Goalkeeper Tim Howard is back with the U.S. national team. The U.S. Soccer Federation announced Thursday that coach Jurgen Klinsmann had called up Howard and veteran defender DaMarcus Beasley for exhibitions next month against Peru and Brazil. Klinsmann said that for now Howard is the No. 2 goalie behind Brad Guzan, who started while Howard took a year off from the national team for family reasons after his stellar performance at the 2014 World Cup. Howard said last month he was ready to come back. Beasley is a four-time World Cup veteran who retired from international play last December. But the defender returned to the squad for the Gold Cup this summer, and after the tournament heand Klinsmann acknowledgedhe might continue to play for the U.S. The Americans meet Peru on Sept. 4 in Washington, then host Brazil in Foxborough, Massachusetts, four days later. On Oct. 10, they face Mexico at the Rose Bowl in a playoff to determine CONCACAF's representative at the 2017 Confederations Cup.

Ponder ex By JOSH DUBOW The Associated Press

NAPA — Christian Ponder is under no illusions about what kind of reaction heal get when he returns to Minnesota. "Iwould expectsome boosprobably," Ponder said. Ponder even joked that he might even respond to the expected harsh treatment with a bow when he takes on the Vikings in an exhibition game for the Oakland Raiders on Friday night. The game comes just over four years after the Vikings selected Ponder 12th overall, three years after he helped take Minnesota to the playoffs and two years after he lost his starting job. It's been a rapid fall for Ponder &om potential quarterback of the future in Minnesota to likely clipboard holder in Oakland as the backup to Derek Carr. Ponder accepts the blame for his struggles. "I just didn't play well," he said. "I didn't play as well as I should have. (Matt) Cassel did weH when he stepped

boos in return to Minnesota in when I got hurt and they had a different plan going forward. It's unfortunate it didn't work out. I missed that opportunity but that's in the past. I'm taking advantage of my chance here." Ponderhas fared wellsofar,running with the first team for much of the offseason program while Carr dealt with an injury and throwing a touchdown pass in the exhibition opener for Oakland last week against the St. Louis Rams. Ponder also serves as a valuable sounding board for a second-year player inCarr,having gone through many of the same experiences that Carr will face this season. "He's been here to help and here to compete every day," Carr said. "I think we' ve played 30 to 40 games ofping pong, competing against each other. Those are good things. It's not like we' re going to go our separate ways and not help each other. During the games, he's there to ask questions, if I ask him about a cornerback, hell say, Yeah, he did this.'

LAS VEGAS — No one loves footballseason more than the bookies in this city' s legal gambling houses. Last year they took in a staggering $1.8 billion in bets on NFL and college games, keeping $114 million of it as profit. Bettors jammed sports books in Nevada, breaking records for money wagered and money lost on America' s favorite sport. The bookies will always have the edge, but t h at doesn't mean the average bettor can't make a score. Those

Bills 11, Browns 10 CLEVELAND (AP)Johnny Manzielthrew a touchdown pass and maybe closed the gap on Browns presumed starting quarterback Josh McCown in Cleveland's loss to Buffalo. Buffalo's EJ Manuel, attempting to beat out Matt Cassel and Tyrod Taylor for the starling job, threw a 14-yard TD pass to Andre Davis with 1:31 left. He then connected with rookie Bronson Hill for the 2-point conversion to complete a late rally by the Bills (1-1). Manziel had one last chance, but he couldn't pull off any magic. Manziel connected with rookie Shane Wynn on a 21yard TD pass in the fourth quarter. Playing against Buffalo's backups, Manziel finished 10 of 18 for 118 yards and made one of those Johnny Football plays that made him an electrifying in college.

Some tips to take to betting window this fall when it comes to the size of your bankroll. Look for odds you favor instead of teams you favor, and the odds are you' ll do much better at the sports book window. "I'm a die hard 100 percent Cubs fan who lives and dies with their games," said Raphael Esparza, who has worked both sides of the window as a sports book director and now as a handicapper. "But if I bet with my heart I would be working three jobs and be divorced three times by now." P ay attention t o t h e numbers:A half point here or a point there usually doesn' t matter much to the average bettor, one reason they almost always lose more than they win. But it means a lot to the so-called wise guys, who can make a living by chasing just the right number. Jimmy Vaccaro, who has run sports books in Las Vegas for four decades, explains: "Let's say it's 20 minutes

great and I love having him." Ponder's star fell quickly in Minnesota after arriving with such promise after his college career at Florida State. He started the final 10 games his rookie season before holding the job for all of the 2012 campaign. He threw for 2,935 yards with 18 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and an 81.2 passer rating his second season as the Vikings made it to the playoffs behind Adrian Peterson's 2,097-yard rushing season.

ing to bet the Dallas Cowboys minus 3," Vaccaro said. 'You' re telling everyone what a good bet it is but by the time you get to the window its minus 3.5. The smart guy is going to get out of line at that point, but the guy with a Corona in his hand will bet it at minus 6 if that's the number he sees. And more often than not he will lose." Parlays are not y our friend: Parlay bets are enticing, mostly because the wins can be big. Hit a three-teamer and it pays 6-1 at most Las Vegas books, but put together eight winners on one card and you can make $150 for every dollar you wager. Nevada gaming statistics show how the temptation of parlaycards pays offfor the house. While in recent years sports books won an average of about 5 percent of the money wagered on football, they win 30 percent of the money bet on parlays. "I usedto pull customers aside and tell them that parlay cards pay my salary and

for the lights in the casino," Esparza said. "If you' re going to live and die on betting parlays the whole season, I' ll mortgage my house against your house." Esparza recommends playing parlays sparingly, and limiting them to two teams most of the time. Know how to take losses as well as wins: Everyone who has ever laid down a bet has some kind of a story about a bad beat.A late score that is meaningless in a football game might mean the difference between a win and a loss when it comes to the point spread. The bestbettors — or at least those with the fewest ulcers — know that they will have nights where nothing makes sense and nothing goes right, just as they will have nights when everything comes up a winner. eMy wife tells people she doesn't know if I win or lose," said Esparza, who now offers handicapping advice on the Doc's Sport Service website.

"Idon'tstressouton lossesor celebratewins.A lotofpeople go through agony because they don't know how to lose." Understand w ha t it takes to win: All things are not created equal in sports betting, starting with the 10 percent 'vig" charged on most bets in a sports book. With the house taking its cut, bettors need to win 52.38 percent of their wagers to break even. Sounds easy enough, but a lotofpeople have gone broke testing that theory. The best sports bettors might win only 55 percent of the time, something to think about when the online touts offer "guaran-

teed" wins for a price. Beating the point spread, of course, has been the goal of bettors everywhere ever since

Charles K McNeil, a bank analystin Chicago,was credited with coming up with the concept of giving or taking points in the 1940s. "A remarkable man &om everything I have found out about him," Vaccaro said. "An absolute genius."

SANTA BARBARA — A fisherman says he came

face-to-face with a huge shark after it attacked his kayak ofF the Santa Barbara County coast. Conner Lyon told KEYTTV he was fishing with friends about 500 yards ofF Gaviota on Wednesday when he felt what he calls an "intense impact." Then he says the shark emerged &om the water with the &ont of the plastic kayak in its mouth and began thrashing.

Smith agrees to new contrac twith Cavs CLEVELAND — J.R. Smith lookedaround and realized there was no place like Cleveland. The &ee-wheeling and e nigmatic shooter h a s agreed to re-sign with the Cavaliers, a person familiar with the decision told the Associated Press on Thursday night. Smith, who declined his $6.8 million player option shortly aftertheseason,considered otheroptions beforereturning to Cleveland, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract has not yet

been signed. Smith came to the Cavs along with Iman Shumpert in a trade with the New York Knicks last season. Smith averaged 12.7 points in 46 regular-season games with Cleveland, and seemed to fit in nicely as well as bond with star LeBron James. During the playoffs, Smith was forced into a more prom-

inent role following injuries to Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving and averayd 12.8 points in 18 games, startirg four. He was also suspended for two games for hitting Celtics forward Jae Cmwder in the face. Smith announced his return on his Instagram account.

"It's been a long ride this summer but I can say for sure, well worth the wait," Smith said. "When I opted out of my contract, I wanted

NEW YORK (AP) — Chase Utley's acquisition put the Los Angeles Dodgers dose to becoming the first baseball team with a $300 million luxury-tax payroll. The trade Wednesday that sent the six-time All-Star second baseman &om Philadelphia to the NL West leaders raisedthe Dodgers' projected payroll fortax purposes to about $298.5 million, according to calculations by Major League Baseball.

"I know it's crazy to say, but I wasn't playing that poorly at PGA," Woods said. "Any borderline shot (at Whistling Straits) I never got away with it, and that's the way it goes. I felt like I was hitting the ball good enough and just kept progressing, and today was just a continuation of it."

Kelly joins elite group entering 6th season at ND SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Brian Kelly is entering his sixth season as Notre Dame coach, just the seventh in the program's long and storied history to make it that far. That doesn't mean the 53-yearold coach is feeling anywhere near settled, not with a 45-20 record at Notre Dame and the Fighting Irish notyetback among college football's elite — their 2012 run to the national title game notwithstanding. He is confident the Irish have more talent this year than that squad three years ago, but he isn't quite comfortable. "I don't know if you ever get com-

Kelly has the lowest winning percentage ofthat group at .692, and he and Layden (1934-40) are the only coaches in the group without a national title. When Kelly was introduced as Notre Dame coach, he said he didn' t have afi ve-year plan, he had a fi veminute plan. He also said he would restoreNotre Dame's traditions. "Those aren't 8-4 years. Those are national championship years," he said at that introductory news conference.

The Irish appeared to be on the verge of vying for a playoff berth last season at 6-0 before turnovers and injuries sent them into a tailspin,

finishing 8-5. Kelly believes the difference this season is depth, saying he thinks this year's team is deeper than the 2012 team led by linebacker Manti Te'o. "It's a faster team. It's a more ath-

Maybe we don't have singularlyone superstarhere or there, but the depth of the group is a whole different football team than that group," Kelly said. The challenge for the Irish is to turn that depth into victories and there few breathers on the sched-

Harbaugh's return brings hope, ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — A few blocks from the Big House, Jim Harbaugh's barber works in a small shop that doubles as a shrine to Michigan football. Iconic jerseys of Wolverines pastsuch as Anthony Carter's No. 1, Desmond Howard's No. 21, and yes, Harbaugh's No. 4 — are displayed high on the wall inside. Like so many Michigan fans, Bill Stolberg watched with dismayas one ofcollege football' s storied programs stumbled through an almost numbing mediocrity under Rich Rodriguez and Brady Hoke. Now Harbaugh, the

back to the top of the Big Ten. That part of the job might take a while. The part of reunifying a fractured Michigan fan base and energizing this football-crazed community may already be complete. "I don't think you could have found another person that would have fit the shoe," Stolberg said. S tolberg has cu t H a r baugh's hair "off and on" since the coach was a youngster. Harbaugh's ties to Ann Arbor go back to before he played for Michigan. His father Jack was an assistant there during the 1970s. once brash, fearless quarterWhen the Michigan job back for the Wolverines, has came open late last year,it returned to Ann Arbor, hav- wasn't clear how interested ing accepted the challenge Harbaugh would be after a of trying to coach Michigan successful NFL run with the

San Francisco 49ers. Perhaps people underestimated the pull of his alma mater. At times, Harbaugh has downplayed the significance of being back in Michigan. Recently, though, he talked

his present-day personality. "He was an ambitious kid," Stolberg said. "I don't think much has changed. Bigger and smarter, good guy, very down to earth. Comes in, he doesn't look for any special about the excitement of see- favors or anything. Just sits ing his kids growing up in down and gets a haircut." Ann Arbor.

"Pretty eye, and he became quite neat to think that my kids the celebrity this offseason. are going to be experiencing Larger-than-life coaches are some of the same things that common in college football, I did." but how many of them would Stolberg, 74, remembers take a question from a first the younger version of Har- grader at a n ews conferbaugh and can compare it to ence?

did, when his team's media day took place in conjunction with youth day at Michigan Stadium. In March, Harbaugh and his director of football operationsstopped to help two people who were hurt in a car crash. He also coached first base for the Oakland Athletics at spring training. Harbaugh uses his Twitter account constantly. At one

point, he posted a picture of himself playing catch during a visit to Paris. 'That was a youngster," Harbaugh explained. "He was throwing a football with his dad, and I just kind of jumped up and got in the game with them. He was a youngster from Oakland, California, about 10 years old." Players say Harbaugh's in-

tensity is palpable, and there are occasional reminders that this coach is different. For example, Harb augh wears his cleats everywhere. "In the locker room, practice field, walking around the building," quarterback Jake Rudock said. "He loves his cleats. He wants to play. That's just how he's wired." That image ofHarbaugh itching to take the field himself and play quarterback again is an easy one to picture. When he sleeps, the 51-year-old coach will sometimes dream about football. In the dream, he's always playing. "I think it's what you love," Harbaugh said. "I found as I get older, the things that I really love the most and aren' t abletodo,Idream about."

Diligence with cirrhosis necessary aRer Hep C DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 59-yearold woman who was recently diagnosed with hepatitis C and cirrhosis. I have never been a drinker. I was treated with Harvoni for three months. I understand the medication is intended to cure the hepatitis C. What about the cirrhosis? My doctor hasn' t explained any of my long-term effects &om taking this.— C.J. ANSWER: Hepatitis C is a common infection of the liver. It is caused by a virus,which can betransmitted by blood and blood products, as well as through sharing needles for injection drugs. It is rarely transmitted sexually. Anyone with a tustory of injection drug use,who received blood transfusions or organ transplants before 1992, or who received clotting factors before1987 should be tested,as should anyone with a known blood or sexual exposure to someone with hepatitis C. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommends testing all adults born in the United Statesbetween 1945 and 1965, anyone who is HIV-infected, who received hemodialysis or was incarcerated. The treatment you have taken (Harvoni) is acombination ofledipasvir and sofosbu-

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. vir, and has an excellent cure rate. The cure rate is 99 percent in people who had never been treated before and who did not have cirrhosis. Even people like you, with cirrhosis, had a cure rate of94 percent with 12 weeks of therapy in the trial that got the medicationapproved. Cirrhosis is liver damage and scarring as a result of liver disease. Once it has developed, it is not reversible; however, a successful cure of the hepatitis C virus greatly reduces the risk of further damage, specificallyreducing the need forlivertransplant and therates of death, liver cancer and other liver-related complications. These medications are so new that I can't estimate how much lower your risk of furtherdamage to your liver is posttreatment; however, there is little doubt

that your likely successful treatment will substantially improve your expected length and quality of life. However, since you still have cirrhosis, you will need to take some important precautions. These include continued abstinence from alcohol, careful monitoring of prescri ption and non-prescription medications, avoiding raw shellfish and making sure your immunizations are up-to-date. You should keep asking your gastroenterologist questions untilyou are satisfi ed.I recommend you make a list of questions to ask,and bring a friend to help make sure you understand the answers you get. DEAR DR. ROACK My d aughter smokes. She doesn't have COPD now, but last spring she had bronchitis and was o6' work for a week. When she went back to work, she didn't feel good, and her doctor told her that she had pneumonia in both lungs and wondered why she went back to work.

ORSSC SPE Birthday for August 21.Use this financial boom year to grow savings. New income (after 10/13) advances your educational or travel plans (after 10/27).

Taurus (April 20-May 20):Today is a 7 — Accept a challenging assignment. Caution is advised ... tempers are short. The instructions don't seem to work. You' re gaining authority. Look for what's missing. A female brings harmony to a confrontation. Don't rely on textbooks. Keep it simple. Gemini (May 214une 20):Today is an 8 — Your spiritual values are strong.

cessitating cough syrup on a routine basis indeed might be a sign of COPD. There are two major forms of COPD: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The de6nition of "chronic bronchitis" is a productive cough for three months in each of two successive years. The secondpiece of advice is that quitting before there are serious symptoms is the best time to quit. Although the body has some ability to recover from the e6'ects of chroniccigarettesm oke,thereisa degreeof permanent damage in long-term smokers. Quitting greatly slows down the rate of ongoingdamage to the lung and reduces the risk of having lifelong symptoms of shortness of breath and cough. Quitting smoking will do more good for you than any cough syrup can. Dr: Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters,but will incorporate themin the column whenever possible.

Today in history Today ls Friday, August 21, the 233th day of 2015. There are 132 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On August 21, 1945, President Harry S. Truman ended the Lend-Lease program that had shipped some $50 billion in aid supplies to America's allies during World War II. On this date: In 1831, Nat Turner led a violent slave rebellion in Virginia resulting in the deaths of at least 55 white people. (He was later executed.) In 1858, the first of seven debates between Illinois senatorial contenders Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas took place. In 1911, Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" was stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris. (The painting was recovered two years later in Italy.) In 1944, the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and China opened talks at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington that helped pave the way for establishment of the United Nations. (The talks concluded on October 7.) In 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed an executive order making Hawaii the 50th state. In 1972, the Republican National Convention opened in Miami Beach. In 1991, the hard-line coup against Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev collapsed in the face of a popular uprising led by Russian Federation President Boris N. Yeltsin. In 1993, in a serious setback for NASA, engineers lost contact with the Mars Observer spacecraft as it was about to reach the red planet on a $980 million mission.

BRIQQ don't share it yet. Frugality remains practical. Avoid risk and expectation. Dress conservatively for an appointment. Travel near water could be involved. Rest when you can. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Today is a 6 — Sort out practical issues from irrational worries. New evidence threatens complacency. Hold offon an assignment.Avoid reckless driving, accidents and arguments. Share comfort and support. Don't get hung up on the details. Let somebody love you. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Today is an 8 — Family obligations take priority over a romantic tryst. Defer gratification for now. Postpone travel and expense. Wait for a better time. Assume responsibility, and take care of home matters first. After that, enjoy yourselves. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Today is a 5 — Your curiosity makes you attractive. Mix socializing with studies. Listen and learn, purposefully. Don't compromise your values or gamble. Guard against overindulging. A friend provides inspiration, although budgetary concerns could limit things. Wait for developments. Capricorn (Dec. 224an. 19):Today is a 6 — Plans change under scrutiny. More promises than money flow in. Heed your mate's concerns. You can get what you' ll work for. A confrontation between friends distracts. Be a calming influence, especially around an authority figure. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is a 6 — Someone' s talking nice about you. A temporary clash between love and money could spark. Something that works theoretically doesn't in reality. Find out what you' re doing the hard way. If irritated, take a walk and breathe deeply. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 7 — Don't count your chickens until they' re hatched. Attend to household issues and repairs before buying frilly extras. Work interferes with travel and romance. Impulsive spending leads to buyer's remorse. Read the fine print. Every little bit counts.

First wolf pack in decades spotted in Northern California The Associated Press

California has its first wolf pack since the state's gray wolf population went extinct in 1924. State and federal authorities announced Thursday that a remote cameracaptured photos earlier this month of two adults and five pups in southeastern Siskiyou County. They were named the Shasta packfornearby Mount Shasta. The pack was discovered four years after the famous Oregon

wandering wolf OR-7 first reached Northern California. Karen Kovacs of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said it was an amazing accomplishment for gray wolves to establish themselves in Northern California just 21years after wolves were reintroduced in the Northern Rockies. Those wolves eventually migrated into Oregon and Washington before reaching California, where they are protectedby federal and state endangered species acts.

Just where these wolves, all black in color, came from will have to wait for DNA testing on scat at an Idaho lab, but it is likely they are a continuation of the increasing numbers of wolves migrating from Oregon's northeastern corner to the southern

Cascade Range, Kovacs said. Though the wolves have been spotted by local ranchers tending their herds, there have been no reports of wolf attacks on livestock, Kovacs said. Kirk Wilbur, government affairs

director for the California Stockmens Association, said ranchers remain worried about the potential for losing animals to wolves as their
