Let's assume, for fun, that Donald Trump's supporters are ' g with their brains, not their viscera. If so, they will want to know that the issue he has lassoed for self-aggrandizement has been utterly demagogued. Trump is playing them for chumps.

A young woman was murdered by an illegal alien in a so-called "sanctuary city." Awful, of course. San Francisco's officials bear some of the blame for Kate Steinle's death by declining to enforce the law.

great challenges we face.

Obama's Ragrantly illegal waiver for illegals living here made everyone who values the rule of law see red. (The judiciary has thus far stayed the amnesty.) And yet, a little perspective isin order.

Illegal immigration is declining. Between 1990 and 2007, the number of illegal immigrants tripled. In 2000, an estimated 1.6 million illegals entered the United States. Since 2012, that number has dropped to about 400,000 (even accounting for the flood of underage migrants last year).

We' ve built fences along all but the most inaccessible areas along the border. Over the past decade, we' ve spent $10.7 billion on fences, cameras and other measures, including doubling the number of border patrol agents to 18,000.

We' ve also spent billions on biometric identity management and other things, bringing the total expenditure for border control to $16.2 billion last year.

Those truly serious about ending illegal immigration altogether must grapple with national identity cards. Another fence isn't going to do it. Forty percent of illegals are visa

writers, grew up in the Texas Panhandle, out among dry-land farmers and strict fundamentalist Christians.

Butch once told me that he felt he'd been permanently scarred in hi s v ulnerable teen years by the local culture'spuritanical preaching on sexual propriety: "They told us that sex is filthy, obscene, wicked, and beastly — and that we should save it for someone we love."

Today, America's higher education complex approaches students with the same sort of convoluted logic that guided Butch's sex education: "A college degree is the key to prosperityfor both you and your country, so it' s essential, " lectures the hierarchy to the neophytes. "But we' ll make it hard to get and often not worth the getting."

Touted as a necessity, but priced like a luxury, many degree programs are mediocre or worse — predatory loan seams that hustle aspiring students into deep debt and poverty.

On botha human leveland in terms of our national interest, that is seriously twisted.

Nonetheless, it's our nation's de factoeducational policy, promulgatedand enforced by acabalofideologues and profiteers, including Washington politi cos, most state govern-

overstays.

The population of illegals here is aging, which suggests that fewer young people are making the increasingly treacherous journey across the desert. Meanwhile, the dramatic

drop in Mexico's birth rate, &om 7.3 children per woman in 1960 to 2.4 today, suggests a problem that is on the way to solving itself. Demographers say that when the birth rate falls below 2, emigration stops. Other Central and South American nations are experiencing similar drops.

As for the epidemic of crime for which illegal aliens are said to be responsible — it's a myth. Crime rates have declined as immigration has increased. Much has been said about the percentageoffederalprisoners who are illegalsand/orHispanic. But federal prisoners represent only about 14 percent of total U.S. inmates and, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, only 7 percent offederaloff enders are incarcerated

for violent crimes (most violent crimes are state matters). As the Pew Research Center notes, the past two decades have seen a spike in the number of immigration-related crimes leading to federal prison sentences. These "unlawful reentry" convictions have changed the complexion of federal inmates.

Whereas in 1992 Hispanics comprised 23 percent of federal inmates, that share has grown to 48 percent today.

Second- and third-generation Hispanics commit crimes at higher rates than non-Hispanic whites, but at lower rates than A&ican-Americans. As for the foreign-born — that is, first-generation immigrants — for the most part, they keep their noses clean. The American Immigration Council re-

cords that "among men age 18-39 (who comprise the vast majorityoftheprison population),the3.5 percent incarceration rate of the native-born in 2000 was 5 times higher than the 0.7percent incarceration rateofthe foreign-born."

Having stoked rage about illegal immigrants, Trump now urges that after deporting 11 or 12 million people, he will "let the good ones come back," force Mexico to pay for a "wall" and "impound remittances" &om "illegal wages." A candidate for student council president of a third-rate high school could devise more serious solutions than those. But then, student council types tend to be in earnest. Trump is simply on the ultimate ego trip.

Street financiers and debtcollection corporations. What we have is a shameful ethical collapse.These self-serving interests have intentionally devalued education from an essential public investment in the common good to just another commodity.

Back in the olden days of 1961, I attended the University of North Texas. At this public school, I was blessed with good teachers, a student body of working-class kids (most, like me, were the first in their families to go to college) and an educational culture focused on enabling us to become socially useful citizens. All of this cost me under $800 a year (about $6,250 in today' s dollars) — including living expenses!With close-to-free tuition and a part-time job, I couldafford to get a good education, gain experience in everything from work to civic activism, make useful connections, graduate in four years and obtain a debt-free start in life.

We just assumed that' s what college was supposed to be.

It still ought to be, but for most students today, it' s not even close. In the U.S.,

OAK BLUFFS, Mass. (AP) — The No. 2 leader of the Islamic State militant group was killed in a U.S. military airstrike in Iraq earlier this week, the White House said Friday.

Ned Price, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said Fadhil Ahmad al-Hayali was traveling in a vehicle near Mosul, in n orthern I r aq, when he was killed Tuesday.

Al-Hayali oversaw the IS in Iraq, where he planned operationsover the past tw o years, including an offensive the group launched in Mosul in June 2014. He was a member of al-Qaida in Iraq, the predecessor group to IS. Also killed in Tuesday's large amounts of weapons, airstrike was an IS media explosives, vehicles and peo- o perative known as A bu ple between Iraq and Syria, Abdullah. where IS militants control Price characterized alvast amounts of territory.

Roberts' wife, Teddi, has attended all of the court hearings and began sitting in the courtroom immediatelyafter she testified Tuesday, the day the prosecutionbegan itscase.

She sits in the back of the courtroom, on the right — the prosecution side-

with her supporters.

Jhonathan, her son with Rick Roberts, has not attended so far.

Chairs have consistently been placed in the first two aisles behind Lucero to block people from sitting in that area.

she asked for food, she was given a candy bar.

The autopsy, the search warrant Wednesday, Aug. 19 Dr. Sung-Ook Baik, forensic pathologist with the Stanislaus County Coroner's Office, testified Roberts died of a bullet wound to his chest. There was also a grazing wound on Roberts' left shoulder.

No drugs or alcohol were found in Roberts' system.

No defensive wounds.

A search warrant for the August Court house turned up severalletters Lucero wrote that seemed to indicate she was thinking of killing herself. One to her mother, one to a daughter, and Yniguez's wife. Detective Brandon Lowry of the Tuolumne County SherifFs Office testified that they also found a h andmade wedding invitation. Lucero and Roberts.Date set for Nov. 23, 2010, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

During her t estimony, Teddi Robertssaid before Roberts' death she found a picture in his wallet of him and their son. On the back, someone referred to Roberts as "my husband."

Teddi Roberts said she had not written the caption.

"I asked him, 'Who wrote this on here?' " she said.

Teddi Roberts said her Interrogation husband got angry and said she wroteit,adding Thursday, Aug. 20 that at that time they were Lucero was interrogated going through marriage by Sgt. Gregory Rogers on struggles.

During h e r op e ning statement o n Tu e sday morning, Krieg stood tall and looked at the jury as she recounted how Lucero met Roberts in 2010 while she worked at a Panda Express in Modesto.

Roberts, who worked on derby cars, went to the res-

that she had not seen him in a while and that she did not know anything.

The shift came when Rogers told her Roberts had been involved with other

a week when he visited a scrap yard in Modesto.

Lucero eventually moved to Sonora, despite not having any friends or family in the area, Krieg said. She also said 9 millimeter gun bullets were found in Lucero's bedroom around the time Roberts was killed.

Deputy Public Defender Clay Bedford, who is representing Lucero, kept his opening statement short.

He told the jury that before Roberts died, Lucero met a man named Joe Yniguez, with whom she had a sexual relationship.

Lucero lived with Yniguez and his wife, Yvonne, on August Court in Twain Harte when Roberts was killed and Yniguez had access to Lucero's gun. It was kept in a safe in Lucero's bedroom.

He also pressed the point that Lucero's confession, which was recorded and is being shown to the jury, was false. Hours passed.

She fidgeted,she looked s hocked. In c o urt, s h e looked down. She did not talk to her attorney. She did not look at the jury.

The same as every other day. Dressed in black, she seemed passive.

Before long, she says she was the one who fired the

gun that killed Roberts in February 2014. It was an accident. And her son, Jeremy Bishop, had the gun in Los Angeles.

Bishop, 25, of Pensacola, Florida, testified against his mother. He said he never lived in Los Angeles. He did not have the gun. And he had not seen his mother forat leasta year.

After he testified, he sat in the back row of the courtroom, behind his mother, on the defense's side.

As he was walking to his seat, Teddi Roberts and her supporters stared at

him. Bishop did not look at them. A bailiff was placed in the middle section of the seating area, between both parties.

Bishop stared at the back of Lucero's head throughout the day, and looked around the courtroom at

times. Most of the time, he looked down at the floor.

The trial resumes at 9

a.m. Monday.

RIM FIRE came through it just ruined it," Crook said.

"All the erosion came and washed it out and the trees, they'd fall over in the stump holes," Crook said. "So we had topipe it— 14,000 feet of pipe we had to put in at high expense to get water to our private property."

Near a corral, where the wood loading chute burned, Crook showed where his brother Steve Crook has logged out a section of burned trees. They cleared the land to reforest, and they have yellow pine, cedar and sequoia seedlings t aking

root.

The Crooks have also put up four miles of fence. Replacing the old cabin is taking time.

On Wednesday, Matt Divine, Divine Construction of Sonora, brought a load of steel rebar and wood planks to the cabin work site, where excavationhas begun for the foundation. The new building will be 704 square feet, same as the old one.

The Jawbone allotment dates back to 1964, Crook said. Other allotments go back further. Homesteaders, ranchers and miners were coming into these mountains decades before the Stanislaus National Forest was established in 1897. The U.S. ForestServicewas created in 1905.

The Crooks and other ranchers wanted to bring cattle up into the Rim Fire burn last year, but the Forest Service didn't allow it. This week, Crook pointed to cows moving along Granite Creek, near Forest Road 3N01.

"Cows are managing the forest by eating this brush up, but i t ' s getting way ahead ofthem," Crook said.

"They wouldn't let us come up here last year. The longer they keep the cattle out, the more brush grows up."

The Crooks are one of at least eight families with ForestServicegrazing allotment permits who were impacted by thefi re,Tuolumne County A gricultural C ommissioner Gary Stockel said this week. They are also one of 14 private timberland owners impacted,Stockel said.

Rancher Stuart Crook (above) talks about 14,000 feet of pipe and a weir he and his family have had to put in to replace water infrastructure damaged by the Rim Fire. than $500,000 in fines. He pleaded not guilty.

In March this year, Emerald'sdefense attorneys said his alleged confession was coerced.

On May 1, federal prosecutors announced they were dropping all charges, in part because two key witnesses died in February and March.

A friend of Emerald, Tanden Olsen, 34, of Sonora, died in February 16 days after a workplace accident. Jerold "Jerry" Bonner, 72, an Alta Helitack Base pilot stationed outside Los Gatos, was found dead March 6of a heart attack inside his barracks.

Emerald could not be located for comment. Federal defenders who represented Emerald did n o t r e t urn phone messages. There was no answer this week at the door of a two-story home in Columbia identified as Emerald's residence by a U.S. ForestService special agent in a September 2013 search warrant.

What level of threat remains?

One of the easiest ways to understand potential for another massive wildfire is to remember that more than 80 percent of the 898,099-acre Stanislaus National Forest Who started the Rim Fire? did not burn in the 2013 Rim Fire.

Weather-relatedvariables watched by fire agencies are equal now to what they were two years ago, Rebecca Garcia of the Stanislaus National Forest told the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors earlier this week.

How did the Rim Fire get so big?

Rob Laeng, fire management officer for the Stanislaus National Forest, is the acting fire chief for the forest. During the Rim Fire, he was deputy fire chief for the forest.

"The amount of instability in the air, what it did was allow that column to go up to the tens of thousands of feet," Laeng said. "It was drawing in oxygen feeding the fire, adding more fuel to it. It was like a boulder rolling down the hill. Once gravity started pulling it, the fire just took off "The extended drought, t he instability of th e a i r mass, the burn indexes, extreme temperatures, low relative humidities, all aligned

the Rim of the World vista, which the 2013 Rim Fire is named for. Forest Service research also shows two firefighters died in a 1949 blaze on Jawbone Ridge, near the 2013 Rim Fire point of origin.

The Forest Service faced intense criticism for its initial response to the Rim Fire

Fire and Boyd Fire had already drawn multiple local resources,including the Stanislaus Hotshot Crew.

Factorsthat convinced fire commanders it was too dangerous to send hand crews onto slopes above Clavey River on Aug. 17 included very slow, difficult foot travel,the absence of safety zones and escape routes, and rapid fire spread.

firefighting resources.

In addition, crews on the ground built i ndirect fire lines and looked for safe opportunities to do direct ground attack.

"The initial strategy for containing the fire north of the Tuolumne River was invalidated on August 19 when prolific spotting caused large fire spread on the slopes above and to the south of the Tuolumne River," the report summary states.

What's been done?

Federal foresters closed portions of the Stanislaus National Forest and Yosemite National Park during the Rim Fire. Burned Area Emergency Response teams of foresters,botanists, biologists and other scientists began assessing some areas beforethe fi re was declared contained in October 2013.

Closed areas were expanded and keptclosed for more than one year. A closure order for the Groveland and Mi-Wok ranger districts in the Stanislaus National Forest was lifted in November 2014.

Groups that include representatives for multiple interests, including residents, ranchers, loggers, and multiplelocalagencies,such asYosemite Stanislaus Solutions and the Tuolumne County Alliance for Resources and Environment, began pressuring the Forest Service for decisive action.

An i mmediate concern was how to deal with all the dead and live timber. Environmental groups from outside Tuolumne County filed lawsuits in September 2014 to prevent logging, arguing that cutting down fire-damaged treesthreatens spotted owls.

Multiple Rim Fire recovery stakeholders, including Tuolumne County counsel, the American Forest Resource Council and Sierra Pacific I n dustries, allied with the Forest Service to opposethe legal action.

In May this year, a deci-

plan.

In June, Stanislaus National Forest staff said the plan's primary goals include returning a mixed conifer forest to 30,065 acres, restoring old forest for wildlife habitat and connectivity, reducing hazardous fuels for future fire resiliency, and eradicating noxious weeds.

The most recent workshop, in early July, was a step in a process the Forest Service must work through with individuals, groups and other members of the public, as well as interested parties known as stakeholders, beforethe federal agency can move forward with reforestation plan specifics.

Why is the Rim Fire so controversial?

Forest management may be the single most contentious issue in the Mother Lode over the past halfcentury. Tensions between residents, ranchers, loggers, hunters, motor sports enthusiasts, environmentalists and the Forest Service existeddecades before the Rim Fire broke out.

Those tensions flare each time there's a fire. Fingerpointingis common, but scientistsand foresters agree that a century of fire suppression has resulted in overcrowded, overstocked mountain forests up and down the Sierra ¹ vada range.

One of the local multiagency g r oups, Y osemite Stanislaus Solutions, formed in 2010 to bring voicesrepresenting diverse interests together to find common ground on public safety concerns and strategies for the drought-stricken Central Sierra Nevada.

To prevent the next catastrophic megafire, some Forest Service researchers, local loggers and environmentalists last month said

they agree on the best way forward: t hi n o v ergrown forests with selective logging andmore frequent prescribed burns.

"We need to scale up on all treatments," Eric Knapp, a research ecologistwith the U.S. Forest Service, said in late July. "We are doing 100-acreprojects,mechanical thinning and prescribed burns, and we need to ramp it up to 1,000-acre, 10,000acre projects."

Knapp and Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions members, including M ik e A l b recht of Sierra Resource Management in Sonora, John Buckley of Central Sierra Environmental R e source Center in Twain Harte and Tuolumne County District 2

Supervisor Randy Hanvelt, want more support from other elected leaders, lawmakers and residents.

Nancy Longmore of Cal Fire's Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit urges residents to remember: there is still plenty of fire fuel in the massive burn area.

"Many people believe that we now have a w onderful

firebreak east of Sonora, and north o f G r oveland, and so there's less need to do theirdefensible space," Longmore said earlier this week. "That's just not true.

There is a huge amount of f lammable vegetation i n the burn area. Millions of dead trees remain, which, in a few years, will be falling like jackstraws tangled in with the brush that is already several feet high in places."

BRIEFING

Stones subject for Bonsai Club Jerry Braswell, a noted Sacramento area viewing-stone enthusiast and dealer, will be the featured demonstrator at a meeting Sept. 5of the Mother Lode Bonsai Club.

The presentation will be held immediately after the club's 10 a.m. meeting at the former Calaveras County Water District office, 423 E. St. Charles St. in San Andreas.

Braswell has been a woodworker and cabinetmaker since 1983.

His interest in suiseki, or viewing stones, has turned him in a new direction of creating formfitting bases (daizas) for the highly polished stones, tree display stands, shoji screens and other bonsai-related products.

Anyone with an interest in bonsai, regardless of levels of experience, is invited to attend the demonstration.

For more information, call Bob Dean, Mother Lode Bonsai Club president at 754-5887.

Craft Faire set at Frogtown The Calaveras County Garden Club will hold its sixth annual Craft Faire Oct. 24 at the Calaveras County Fairgrounds.

The fair, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., will feature an array of hand-crafted items in the MarkTwain Hall, and a variety of food vendors will be on site.

An educational garden program will be presented in the Frogeteria. Lessons on how to create droughttolerant gardens, floral displays, arrangements and container gardens will be offered, along with demonstrations and gardening tips. The Country Garden Store will offer fairy garden succulent arrangements, bird feeders, dried-flower wreaths, plants and seeds, gardening books and more, and a drawing for some elaborate prizes will be held.

Admission and parking are free, and those attending will receive a free tote bag donated by Mark Twain Medical Center.

Proceeds from the event will be used for scholarships for local students.

'Library' offers winter varieties FoCuS and Master Gardener volunteers will be "lending" seeds to anyone interested in doing a winter vegetable garden at a Seed Library table at the Tuolumne County Library.

Winter gardens should be planted soon, stated a press release, and seeds are given out free with the idea that people will grow the plants, collect their own seeds and return some of them to the library so others can continue the growing chain.

The Seed Library, 480 Greenley Road in Sonora, is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturdays.

One way to maintain an attractive

landscape while using less water duringCalifornia'sfour-year drought is by replacing lawns with native plants.

Many of the area's native plants have adapted to survive prolonged dry periods, sothey typically require

systems.

'Vile shouldn't be trying to change where we live," said Bob Dean, president of the Sierra Foothills Chapter of the California Native Plant Society. "If there's anything that should change, it's us."

The chapter is partnering with Tuolumne Utilities District and Tuolumne CountyMaster Gardeners to host a symposium on Sept. 12 at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds in Sonora, which will feature presentations from some of the area's leading expertson nativeplants and gardennlg.

The event is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with a break for lunch between 11:45 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. Tickets cost $25 before Sept. 1 and $30 after. Seating is limited to about 125.

Morning sessions will focus mainly on the drought and its impacts on the Sierra foothills.

The morning's keynote speaker, Janet Cobb, executive officer of the California Wildlife Foundation/California Oaks, is scheduled to discuss what's being done to protect and preserve the state's oak woodlands.

A panel of local experts in the afternoon is scheduled to provide tips for gardening with native plants, including garden structure, planting schemes and plant selection.

Dean, of Mountain Ranch, said many popular gardening practices were imported from the East Coast and Europe.

"California plants evolved to live in these kinds of conditions," he said.

"When we transplanted ourselves

to California, we also transplanted some ofourgardening habits."

However, the drought is making m ore and more peoplerealizethose methods that originated in wetter climates aren't as sustainable in California.

"Awareness of water issues is causing people to think about how they garden, in part because they want to save money on water," he said.

Ferns: Western sword fern

Dean's wife, Judy Dean, is scheduled to speak at next month's event and share some of the techniques for growing native plants that she's developed over 50 years of gardening.

One common misconception about native plants is that they all need a lot of sun, Dean said, but some have naturally evolved to grow in the shades of trees or in canyons.

"It would be like taking someone who grew up inside of a building and

first, but they become highly resilient to extreme conditions once their roots grow deeper.

"Once native plants have gone through the initial growth period and gotten their roots deeper in the ground, then they' re very drought tolerant," Dean said. "We only need to water them about

once a month."

she said. "They probably wouldn't do too well."

Another mistake is fertilizing native plants to make them grow faster.

Dean said this can prevent them from developing some of the characteristics needed to survive through wintertime.

Establishing native plants in a garden can require some care at

Due to the drought, the state is offeringrebates ofup to $2,000 for people to switch out their turf grass forlandscapes that requireless water. Synthetic turf does not qualify forthe rebateprogram.

THEUNION EMOCRA T

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

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

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

There are a few medical conditions that benefit from B vitamins.

Here's the not-so-good news: You almost certainly don't need so much, and most people don't benefit from taking vitamins at all. A healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetablesgives you most of the B vitamins your body needs.

Limited use of antibiotics often the best policy DEAR DIL ROACK I u n derstand that the overuse of antibiotics can harm the good bacteria in the intestinal tract, as well as the bad. While I don't feel that I am abusing antibiotics, I have been prescribed two courses in the past five years. I wonder what action catt be taken to try to ensure thatbalance in my gutis restored.— M.L. ANSWElt We are just beginning to understand the beneficial effect of bacteria living in our intestine, and there is preliminary evidence that antibiotics might have adverselong-term effects due to loss of healthy bacteria. I think the most important message from this is to use antibiotics as little as possible, but two courses in five years is certainly modest.

The use of probiotics (healthy bacteria) might help prevent growth of harmful bacteria, improve the immune system, reduce pain and improve the function of the gut lining.

I don't think probiotics are necessary aRer the occasional course of antibiotics. However, it is reasonable to consider probiotics in some situations, including in people with inflammatory bowel disease

Today in history Today is Saturday, August 22, the 234th day of 2015. There are 131 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On August 22, 1485, England's King Richard III was killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field, effectively ending the War of the Roses.

On this date: In 1787, inventor John Fitch demonstrated his steamboat on the Delaware River to delegates from the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.

In 1851, the schooner America outraced more than a dozen British vessels off the English coast to win a trophy that came to be known as the America' s

Cup.

In 1932, the British Broadcasting Corp. conducted its first experimental television broadcast, using a 30-line mechanical system.

In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon were nominated for second terms in office by the Republican National Convention in San Francisco.

In 1968, Pope Paul Vl arrived in Bogota, Colombia, for the start of the first papal visit to South America.

In 1972, President Richard Nixon was nominated for a second term of office by the Republican National Convention in Miami Beach.

In 1985, 55 people died when fire broke out aboard a British Airtours charter jet on a runway at Manchester Airport in England.

In 1989, Black Panthers co-founder Huey P. Newton was shot to death in Oakland, California. (Gunman Tyrone Robinson was later sentenced to 32 years to life in prison.)

Friedrich von Schlegel, a German writer andcriticwhodiedin1829,said,"Acriticisa y q L I I 5 44 readerwho ruminates.Thus, he should have y 9 8 7 Y AJ6 3 more thanone stomach."

I 863 I Q J109 4 He was also a comedian, apparently. A top + A 9 4 3 4762 bridge player needs to be a reader of both the South bidding — his side's and the opponents' — and 4 AJ 9 6 2 VK42 the cards played. In this deal, the card-reading 0 A52 starts at the first trick. How should South plan 485 the play in four spades after West leads the heart nine?

North's two no-trump was the Jacoby ForcDealer : South ing Raise, showing at least game values with Vulnerable: Both four or more spades and, typically, no singleton or void (else North would have made a South West N orth E a st splinter bid). South's four-spade rebid was his 14 Pass 2 N T Pas s weakest action.

44 Pas s P as s P a ss There is a risk that declarer will lose one spade,two hearts and one club. But what does the heart nine signify?

It is top of nothing. East must have the heart ace-jack. If that is so, declarer can freeze the suit momentarily by playing dummy's queen.

East wins with the ace, but cannot return a heart without conceding a trick in the suit. South wins East's diamond-queen shift with his ace, draws two rounds of trumps, then drives out the club ace. This establishes a discard for his heart loser.

Note that if declarer plays the heart 10 at trick one, he should go down. East covers with his jack to drive out South's king. Then, when West gets in with his club ace, a second heart lead gives the defenders two tricks in the suit, along with the spade queen and club ace.

Water is very important for all butterflies.

With short little legs, their waterholes are more like a puddle. Actually, puddles are a favorite; they absorb salt and minerals that way. Another source is to use large pot saucers filled with sand, gravel, and water, just very shallow Also,shade and a windbreak make for butterfly perfection. Plantings that are tight give the butterflies protection from predators.

Milkweed is also available for the hungry hatchlings. Sierra Waldorf School is growing vegetables, a new generation of butterflies, and a new generation of gardeners.

Monarch waystations are a small way that everyone can help the continuing existence of this species. All you need is a sunny spot, the right plants, a water supply and protection from the elements.

Pick aspot that receives atleastsix hours a day of sun. Choose your host plants. If you would like to be a certified waystation like Sierra Waldorf School, you will need at least 10 milkweed plants. Probably many of the plantsthat provide nectar already existin your garden — perennials like lavender, sedum, salvia, butterfly bush, Shasta daisy and coneflowers.

rience there but the guys we have to choose from, we should be very good," Craig said.

It might not be an extremely large group,but last year's group was no bigger. They had a mean streak and opened the lanes to ball carriers for Canepa and Kiriluk.

Faughnan returns at safety and he brings the same physical play he provides on offense. aHe doesn't know anything other than physical," Craig said. "Last year in practice I wasn't sure how physical he would play because we don' t have a lot of contact in practice.

It wasn't until we got him in a game, that I saw'Wow, he likes to mix it up a little bit.' " Rodgers, who Craig refers to as a ball-hawker with great ball instincts, will start at the othersafety spot.

BRIEFS Cowboys concerned with 49ers' turf OXNARD (AP) — Dallas owner Jerry Jones suggested Friday that the Cowboys could sit quarterback Tony Rornoand otherstartersfor a preseason game in San Francisco over c oncerns

with the troublesome turf at Levi's Stadium.

Jones made his comments in a radio interview

a day after coach Jason Garrett said, 'Tm confident that the league will make sure that field is safe for everybody to play or we won' t play the game."

The Cowboys and 49ers play Sunday night.

The turf was replaced after two Taylor Swift concerts on Aug. 14-15. Stadium operations chief Jim Mercurio has said it will be replaced as needed during the season, perhaps as many as six or seven times.

Dennis, who won Stage 4 on Thursday to assume the race lead, covered the 8.5mile circuit in 18 minutes, 11 seconds. The Australian was 27 seconds ahead of Rob Britton and 31 seconds ahead of teammate Brent Bookwalter.

The three-stage women' s USA Pro Challenge also began Friday with a time trial over the same course. Twotime Olympic gold medalist Kristin Armstrong continued her comeback &om retirement by besting Twenty 16-Sho-Air teammate Allie Dragoo by 12 hundreds of a second.

KANSAS CITY, M o.

(AP) — Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and Chiefs counterpart Alex Smith struggled behind their unsettled ofFensive lines in Kansas City's 1413 preseason victory over Seattle on Friday night.

Wilson was 9 of 15 for 78 yards, though most of those completions came

on his final drive, when tight end Jimmy Graham finally got involved in the game. Otherwise, Wilson spent his half of work running away &om Chiefs pass rushers Justin Houston and Dee Ford.

Smith was pressured so much in the first half that he began rushing his throws, and one of them was

picked ofF by Bobby Wagner. The Seattle linebacker returned it untouched 25 yards for a touchdown that gave the Seahawks a 10-7 halftime lead.

Ryan sharp, but 3ets rally for victory EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Matt Ryan was sharp for the second straight preseason game, then the Jets raHied to win 30-22.

Ryan fini shed 4 of5 for 75 yards, including a 60yard completion to fullback Collin Mooney, and a 2-yard touchdown toss to Leonard Hankerson.

Rookie Terron Ward also had a 4-yard touchdown run for the Falcons (1-1) who carved up the Jets' touted starting defense.

Meanwhile, Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Jets' starters sputtered until facing Falcons backups midway through the second quarter.

New York (1-1) was sparked by the defense on a safety by first-round pick Leonard Williams, one of two sacks for the former USC star. Chris Ivory followed less than two minutes later with a 33-yard TD run, and Fitzpatrick found Brandon Marshall for a 2-point conversion that cut New York' s defici tto 14-10.

That speed still shows.

"Yesterday was his first real day of practice and he was flying, and I mean flying," safety Eric Reid said Friday.

'The kid has wheels and I didn't even know it because he's been hurt. A couple plays and he's instantly opening our eyes. He just needs to keep doing his thing and make some plays."

Tomsula is taking a cautious approach with players such as linebacker NaVorro Bowman and Ward after injuries. The coach didn't say Friday who would playin Sunday's home preseason game against the Cowboys.

"Jimmie would have rather there never been a problem with his foot a year, two years, a year-and-a-half ago," Tomsula said. "The way Jimmie's handling things and where he' s at, he's doing great.... You' re not seeing any hitch in the giddy up."

Astros' Fiers throws no-hitter vs. Dodgers HOUSTON (AP) — Growing up, Mike Fiers remembers watching Nolan Ryan throw no-hitter after no-hitter.

After pitching his first one Friday night, Fiers finally got to meet the man who spun so many gems.

Fiers pitched the second nohitter in the major leagues in nine days, leading the HoustonAstrostoa 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ryan, now an Astros executive who threw a record seven no-hitters, applauded from a suite as Fiers was mobbed by his teammates near the

mound after finishing the 11th gem in Astros history.

Then Ryan went down to the dugout to welcome the right-hander into a m o st f ancy &aternity — the ¹Hi t Club.

another blow for a defense that had already seen now-retired linebacker Patrick Willis go down with a toe injury that ultimately factored into his decision toend hiscareer.

Finding some continuity now will mean a lot for new defensive coordinator Eric Mangini's unit. A top-notch defense has long defined the Niners, who went 8-8 last season and missed the playoffs for the first time in four yearsfollowing three straight tripsto the NFC championship game.

"He's coming along good. He's in the meeting room taking good notes, he' s understanding the defense," safety Antoine Bethea said. "It's just about him getting on the field, being able to stay on the field, stay healthy. He' s anxious to get out there."

Ward, the 30th overall draft pick in 2014 out of Northern Illinois, finished with 20 tackles and two passes defensed in eight games as a rookie.

He started all 14 games at strong safety in his final college season, leading his team with 95 tackles — 62

Of course, Bumgarner is in no danger of losing his day job even if he wasn't quite as sharp as he was in his last appearance at PNC Park, a fourhit shutout in the 2014 NL Wild Card game last fall that served as the springboard to one ofthe greatest postseasons in baseball history and propelled the Giants to a third championship in five years.

He labored through the first two innings before retiring 14 straight at one point before leaving with one out in the seventh. Bumgarner gave up three runs on six hits with a walk and six strikeouts as the Giants improved to 17-3 in Bumgarner's last 20 starts after Aug. 1.

"Command wasn't as good as we would have preferred but it certainly was good enough to compete," Bumgarner said.

It's part of the deal when you playfornine teams across 14 years. He needed all of one at bat to become a hit with the Giants, drilling a Locke offering into the seats in left to cap a three-run first. Byrd has homered at PNC Park forfi ve different clubs during his nomadic career.

"I don't even know what uniforms they are," he said. "It just means I' ve been around a long time."

Byrd hit a deep two-run shot to left against Locke in the first. He later singled and doubled and is hitting .361 against Pittsburgh this season, with six home runs.

"He's hit the ball all over the ballpark and out of the ballpark against us," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.

Michael Morse had two hits and scored twice for Pittsburgh, which didn't go as quietly against Bumgarner as it t h e m o ment, n ear did lastOctober.Th e Pirates
