The 16-year-old who turned himself in to the Tuolumne County Probation Department Monday will be tried as an adult in the Tuolumne County Superior Court on charges related to a bank robbery that occurred on July 21 atthe Umpqua Bank in Twain Harte.

Malique Issac West sat expressionless handcuffed in the jury sectional seating beforehis case was called at 2:10 p.m. in Department 1 of Tuolumne County Superior Court.

Dressed in a grey jumpsuit, West kept his eyes staring straight ahead, and looked around occasionally.

In July, two men described by law enforcement as being in their lateteensorearly 20s jumped over a counter, tackled a teller and fied with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Going for gold

Medical marijuana dispensaries struggle with Calaveras zoning

By JASON COWAN The Union Democrat

When Tom Calmese decided to start his own medical marijuana collective two years ago, he put in a lot of research.

The directorof operations with the San Andreas-based Green Gold Cultivators spent a significant amount of time driving from location to location throughout the county, looking to find the perfect fit.

Eventually, he did.

Then, afl er fi nding a spot that met all Calaveras County regulations and guidelines, he earned apermit to operate.

way or another.

In the past several months, as many as five cannabis enterprises have filed for rezoning amendments and use permits. Two, in Murphys and Copperopolis, were withdrawn, two, in Valley Springs, were denied and one, in Toyon, is processing, according to Peter Maurer, planning director with the Calaveras County Planning Commission.

One significant challenge medical marijuana dispensaries face is finding the correct zoning. Because of an ordinance adopted in 2010, dispensaries are only permitted to function within a CP plot — a zone that is scarce in the county. "(The CP zone) has limited distribution throughout the county as a means to control where they were going to be," Maurer said.

In addition, a dispensary must also be farther than 1,000 feet away from what the codecalls a sensitive use or youth service area. ''When you factor that in, the number of available plots becomes half," Calmese said.

"They' vebeenoperating there be fore someof the other places. I openedup after them. What they made the mistake in, they should've researched the

location be fore opening a little better."

— Tom Calmese, director of operations with the San Andreas-based Green Gold Cultivatora

ria,n Maurer said. "(But) that could be a solution."

On Tuesday, in another saga in the fight for rezoning amendments and use permits, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors ruled against the operation of Calaveras Medical Collective at La Contenta Plaza in Valley Springs.

The collective, which had been in operation without a permit since 2013, was within 1,000feet of Early Head Start, which functions as a full-day, year-round daycare forchildren from birth to age 5.

"They' ve been operating there before some of the oth-

er places. I opened up aRer them," Calmese said. "What they made the mistake in,

they should've re searched the locat ion before opening a little better."

The process of operating without a permit at a location isnot a foreign concept either, according to Calmese.

He says that some medical marijuana businesses have

shut down several times, just to reopenat a different location to keep the revenue flowing in.

"They feel like they' re pulling in revenue and giving people jobs," Calmese said.

"They feel that they' re doing a servicerather than a disservice or public nuisance."

A Twain Harte-based environmental organization that s ued Tuolumne Countyin 2014 over expanding a 309-acre quarry near Columbia is proposing what it calls a "win-win" solution to avoid further legal action.

In a letter sent Tuesday to county leaders and Blue Mountain Minerals CEO Jeff Redoutey, Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center Executive Director John Buckley said his group would not file another lawsuit or appeal as long as the mining company is requiredto stack the processed rock and soil higher at the limestone quarry's existing 48-acre fill zone beforemoving onto 27 acres of oak woodland.

GUEST OPINION

Farm Bureau romotes, rotects a riculture I was recently asked, 'What is Farm Bureau," and to someone who doesn't already know, that is a great question. Before I answer, I want to thank The Union Democrat for this opportunity to tell you a little about what Farm Bureau is.

Tuolumne County Farm Bureau is dedicatedto promoting and protecting agriculture. We are a memberdriven organization comprised of

ranchers, farmers, loggers and anyone else who cares about the availability of a safe and reliable supply of food and fiber products. I do not proclaim to be an expert in anything, yet I and many of our members are well educated and have priceless knowledge and real-world expertise.

Recently, the scientific community is realizing many of the positive impacts the agriculture community

fire. Livestock can help keep back this vegetation that will eventually be competing with young seedlings during forest restoration.

The grazing allotments on the forestare also a criticalpart ofrange management for foothill cattle operations. Many of the open spaces in the foothills that we all enjoy to view are owned by private individuals and most have cattle grazing this land.

Most of these ranches do not have enoughacreage to supportthe numbersofanimals thatareneeded fora family to survive in the cattle business. Cattle need to be moved to otherareas to graze forparts ofthe year and there are few options in the valleyas increased pressure from developmentand tree crops has reduced grazing land.

that our work spoke for itself.

Farm Bureau is involved in the Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions group as well as the Community Water Council. The difference between us and many of the other groups representedatthese collaborative,isthat we are not paid to go to meetings. Locally, we have a part-time executive directorand the rest ofour involvement is all volunteer time &om our members and Board of Directors. We do our best to comment on projects thatwillaffect agriculture and stay engaged in all manners involving Forest Service land use policies.

It is without doubt that we are living in the information age. With that, also comes the misinformation age. This inevitably leads to competing viewpoints from groups on many sides of many issues. The consumer is left to decide which facts they will believe and where their loyalties will reside.

Boot camp prepares SHS students for bright future Twenty seven incoming fi.eshmen attended this summer's Sonora High School High Sierra Academic Boot Camp at historic Baker Station near Kennedy Meadows last week (Aug. 3-6). These students, invited to apply to attend the program because of their enrollment in honors classes at Sonora High, were sel~d based on the quality of their applications. Students participated in a variety of activities intended to help prepare them for success in the high school's honors and advanced placement programs as well as helping them prepareforcollegeacademics.

In one of many classes, stu-

dents joined Don Rowan, an expert in High Sierra ecology, in taking and examining invertebratesamples from the adjacent Middle Fork of the Stanislaus River. Using references provided, they used these bioindicator invertebratesamples to estimate the overall health of the river. Anotherclasswas spent developing college level writing skills with SHS English teacher Will Sarkisian and former SHS student Jaq Davis who recently completed her bachelor's degree in English at St. Mary's University after graduatingfrom Sonora High as valedictorian in 2011.

Camp director and SHS teacher Dave Rowan hopes that the camp will prepare students to excel in h i gh school academics and beyond.

The high school is seeking to strengthen its advanced academic programs so that studentswillbe prepared for advanced education wherever they choose to pursue it. The many advanced placement classes ofFered at Sonora High give students the opportunity to earn college credit in high school. Some graduates even entercollege as sophomores because of college credits earned through Sonora's AP programs.

The Boot Camp was made possible by grants and donations from community organizations and i n dividuals, especially Sonora tech firm Front Porch, as well as support &om the high school. In future years, Rowan would like to expand the program so that more students are able to attend. Hopefully, programs like this offered through the school will help students to explore the world around them in as many ways as possible and learn, as did participant Allan Wells, that "Wonder has no housing."

Make ERappointments online for non-emergencies

By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

In any given year, Mark Twain Medical Center treats more than 11,000 people in the emergency room.

For a few, there is little wait, if any. The medicalcenter has offered a service where people with non-life threatening illnesses can make a reservation online to be seen in the ER. The hospital has gotten a lot of positive feedback on the service, called InQuicker, hospital spokeswoman Nicki Stevens said.

Sixty percent of the 200 or so who use InQuicker in a year are on their mobile devices, Stevens said.

Fifty-nine percent are female and most are in their mid-30s, Stevens said.

The medical center started offering the onlineserviceabout two years ago,she said.

"Because of the nationwide shortage of physicians, people can't always get in to see their primary care doctor right away," Stevens said.

InQuicker, accessible on the homepage of Mark Twain Medical Center's website, allows patients to choose from available ER appointment slots for whatever malady they have. InQuicker is a Nashville company that offers the online scheduling in California and 25 other states.

It is not to be used for actual life or death emergency situations, Stevens said. In an emergency, people need to come to the hospital, she said.

The online wait at home service is more for people who are having a non-emergency health issue such as a migraine or just feeling sick, Stevens said.

Mark Twain Medical Center in Calaveras County has five rural health clinics (Arnold, Angels Camp, Copperopolis, San Andreas and Valley Springs), and four specialty care clinics.

However, patients may not always be able to get into a rural health clinic right away or they m ay not have a primary care doctor,or they couldbe a tourist from out of the area, Stevens said. It is also used by people who have changed insurances and don't have a new doctor yet, Stevens said.

Dignity Health doesn't have an urgent care

clinic in Calaveras County. Sonora Regional Medical Center has an urgent care clinic, Prompt Care, in Angels Camp, and another in East Sonora. It does not offer an online ER appointment maker, SRMC spokesman Bruce Chan said.

"Really what it's for is for convenience," Stevens said." Especially if you' re not feeling well.

You can stay home longer and not have to wait in the waiting room.

Mark Twain's average door-to-door (in the door, out the door) wait time is 120 minutes, Stevens said.

"Unless obviously it's a life emergency," Stevens said. "Certainly, not everyone wants to receive treatment through the ER. It's a very convenient service we are proud to provide the

community."

The hospital has marketed the program to local lodging establishments and tourist centers as well, so that visitors know if something happens, they can wait at home or a hotel, Stevens said.

Mark Twain Medical Center says people should call 911 or have someone take them straight to the emergency room if they have chest pain, seizure, trouble breathing, bad stomach pain, blurred vision, bad headache, dizziness, weakness, neck stiffness, numbness, a bite/sting.

Additionally, people should call 911 or go straight to the emergency room if their child has any of the symptoms listed above or any of the following symptoms: high or ongoing fever, child is very drowsy you cannot wake the child, child is not acting like himself/herself, childisunder the care of a doctor for a serious

condition, or if you believe the child needs to be seen by a doctor right away.

People should also call 911 or go straight to the emergency room if they feel they might hurt themselves or someone else.

Forlocalresidents who traveltoM odestoor Stockton, the online service is offered at other Dignity Health hospitals (in Stockton and throughout California) and at Doctors Medical Center in Modesto (not part of Dignity Health). It's also offered in many hospitals in theSan Francisco Bay Area and Southern California.

Fired reporter kills two on live TV

NEws NOTEs NATION

Secrets routinely sent in State emails W ASHINGTON — The transmission of now-classified information across Hillary Rodham Clinton's private email is consistent with a State Department culture in which diplomats routinely sent secret material on unsecured email during the past two administrat ions, according to documents reviewed by The Associated Press.

Clinton's use of a home server makes her case unique and has become an issue in her front-running campaign forthe Democratic presidential nomination. But it's not clear whether the security breach would have been any less had she used department email. The department only systematically checks email for sensitive or classified ma-

terial in response to a public records request.

In emails about the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, department officials discuss sensitive matters in real time, including the movement of Libyan militias and the locations of key Americans. The messageswere released last

MONETA, Va. (AP) — He planned it allso carefully — a choreographed execution of two former colleagues, broadcast live to a horrified television audience. Hours later, he shared his own recording of the killing worldwide on social media.

Judge Carlos A. Samour s entenced Holmes to t h e maximum — 12 consecutive life terms without parole plus 3,318 years — then made a final, contemptuous order: Sheriff, get the defendant out of my courtroom, please."

BEIRUT (AP) — First they egged the prime minister's building. Then they dumped some of the garbage piling up on Beirut's streets outside the home of the environment minister, furious the government couldn't get its act together to find a solution when Lebanon's main landfill shut down.

But perhaps the most electrifying move by the young, tech-savvy group of activists was when they spread their catchy slogan "You Stink" across social media. It helped turn the trash crisis into a popular uprising against a political class that has dominated Lebanon since its civil war endedin 1990.

The core founders of "You Stink" include one of the Middle East's most influential bloggers, as well as a creative media strategist, a rights lawyer, journalists and an actress whose fi lm was banned by authoritiesfor addressing touchy sexual issues.

The group quickly picked up supporters from across the spectrum of Lebanon's divisive politics and sects.

'Vile are the f uture of this country and the agents of change. If the youth didn't do this, no one will do it," said Nadyn Jouny, a 25-year-old freelance journalist who is among the group's founding members.

She said the movement was a reflection of the growing frustration with an aging and corrupt political dass that has failed to even show concern for people' s woes. She called it "the regime of the warlords."

'You Stink" c l aims to have set aside ideology in its effort to mobilize support for an uprising against the political establishment.

Ahmed al-M u ghassil was arrested in Beirut and transferred to Riyadh, the Saudi capital, according to the Saudi newspaper Asharq Alawsat. The Saudi Interior Ministry and Lebanese authorities had no immediate comment on the capture.

The 48-year-old suspect was described by the FBI in 2001 as the head of the armed wing of the once-active but shadowy Saudi Hezbollah group. The FBI had offered a $5 million reward for information leading to

Flanagan's planning may have started weeks ago when, ABC News said, a man claiming to be Bryce Williams called repeatedly, saying he wanted to pitcha story and needed fax information. He sent ABC's newsroom a 23page faxtwo hours after the 6:45 a.m. shooting that was part-manifesto, partsuicide note — calling himself a gay black man who had been mistreated by

He described himself as a "human powder keg," that was "just waiting to go BOOM!!!!"

Parker and Ward were a regular team, providingstories for the station's "Mornin"' show on everything from breaking news to feature stories on subjects like child abuse. Their live spot Wednesday was nothing out of the ordinary: They were interviewing a local official at an outdoor shopping mall for atourism story before the shots rang out.

As Parker screamed and Ward collapsed, Ward's camera kept rolling, capturing the image of the suspect pointing the gun. WDB J quickly switched to the anchor back at the station, clearly shocked, who told viewers, "OK, not sure what happened there."

He later ran off a highway while being pursued hundreds of miles away and was captured; he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The Dow Jones industrial average rocketed more than 600 points Wednesday, its biggest gain in seven years, snapping a six-day losing streak that had Americans nervously checking their investment balances.

While the surge came as a relief to many, Wall Street professionals warned that more rough days lie ahead, in part because of weakness

in China, where signs of an economic slowdown triggered thesell-off that has shaken global markets over the past week.

Heading into Wednesday, the three major U.S. stock indexes had dropped six days in a row, the longest

slide in more than three years. The Dow lost about 1,900 pointsover that period, and more than $2 trillion in corporate value was wiped out.

On Tuesday, a daylong rally collapsed in the final minutes of trading. On Wednesday, the market opened strong again, and the question all day was whether the rally would hold. It did, and picked up speedjustbeforethe closing bell.

The Dow vaulted 619.07 points, or 4 percent,to 16,285.51. It was the Dow's t hird-biggest point g a i n of all time and its largest since Oct. 28, 2008, when it soared 889 points.

The Standard & Poor's

500 index, a much broader measure of the stock market, gained 72.90 points, or 3.9 percent, to 1,940.51. In percentage terms, it was the best day for the S&P 500 in nearly four years.

The Nasdaq composite rose 191.05 points, or 4.2 percent, to 4,697.54.

Analysts said investors apparently saw the big selloff as an opportunity to go bargain-hunting and buy low. "That always leads to a bounce or spike in the market," said Quincy Krosby, market strategist for Prudential Financial.

The U.S. stock market has been on a run-up that has lasted more than six years and pushed the major indexes to all-time highs.

Obama to seek unity with pope On iSSueS in White HOuSe ViSit WASHINGTON (AP) — Sweeping into office in 2009, President Barack Obama captured near rock-star status around the world among millions who saw him as the embodimentofanew sense ofsocialpurpose.

Now, that baton has largely been passed to Pope Francis, whose visit to the White House next month will put his common cause with Obama on vivid display.

Obama has made no secret of his affection for the outspoken pope, calling him a "transformative leader" whose influence has transcended the Roman Catholic community.

The pope has embraced many of the issues Obama has sought to advance, including global warming, poverty and diplomacy with Iran and Cuba.

Vice President Joe Biden, a Catholic, said the pope's Sept. 23 visit will mark an impor-

p

tant moment not only for Catholics but for all Americans.

"Pope Francis has breathed new life into what I believe is the central mission of our faith: Catholic social doctrine," Biden said in a statement to The Associated Press. Invok-

ing key elements of Obama's agenda, Biden added that Francis "has become a moral rudder for the world on some of the most important issues of our time, from inequality to climate change."

The pope's brief visit to the White House is part of his highly anticipated trip to the U.S. and Cuba. It's a reunion of sorts for Obama and Francis, who first met when the president visited the Vatican last year.

Despite deep differences on some socialissues such as abortion, Obama and the pope areexpected tofocuson areasofagreement.

cero told a much different story of what happened in Roberts' automobile shop than what she told police the day she was arrested in June 2014.

A videoof the police interrogation, entered intoevidence by the prosecution, was shown Aug. 20 and 24 in court.

Then, she told authorities she killed Roberts "on accident."

She also said a former boyfriend, Christopher Tinkum, of the Modesto area, killed Roberts.

Tinkum testified Monday he was involved with Lucero for nine years, but had not seen her in three years. His boss at a shoe store showed records that proved Tinkum was at work when Roberts was killed.

Lucero alsotold authorities Roberts had sexually assaulted her. She brought a handgun to his shop to intimidate him, she told police.

But during her testimony Tuesday Lucero said Roberts never sexually assaulted her and that their sexual relations were consensual.

On Wednesday, Tuolumne County District Attorney Laura Krieg asked Lucero why she confessed to killing Roberts.

"I was just thinking how exhausted I was," Lucero said.

Lucero, looked straight ahead as she spoke, occasionally glancing at the jury of four men and eightwomen.

Lucero testified Tuesday that she was involved with Joe Yniguez, who is in his 60s, and lived with him and his wife when the shooting occurred. Yniguez was controlling, she said, and he forcefully took her clothes off at one point during the summer of 2018 and raped her.

"He said, 'No. You' re going to take it.

Shut up,' " she said.

Lucero said she did not move out of Yni-

have control over the firearm, she said.

She said the gun went missing around the time Roberts was killed.

When asked by Krieg if Yniguez was the person who killed Roberts, Lucero said she did not know who pulled the trigger.

She also said the four letters authorities found in her bedroom that were dated Jan. 18, 2014 — a month before Roberts was murdered — were not suicide notes,

and that they were written in the event something bad were to happen to her.

D uring direct examination by T u olumne County Deputy Public Defender Dana Gross, Gross asked how well Lucero can keep track of time.

"Timelines fade," Lucero said, adding that she is "pretty good" at keeping track of events within a year or two, but anything longer than that "fades into one big thing."

Previous days' testimony showed Lucero had met Roberts in 2010 while she worked at a Panda Express in Modesto.

Lucero has been unclear throughout the trial how long the affair lasted, although the prosecution has said it lasted three years.

Roberts, 49, of Sonora, was shot twice by a 9-millimeter pistol — a blow to the chest and a grazing wound to his shoulder.

Attorney for West, Scott Ennis, was late to the hearing. When Ennis arrived, he sat next to West in the jury section and conversed quietly with him.

Upon calling the case, Judge Donald Segerstromsaid,"Itisin theinterestofthe people to pursue this charge as an adult case."

Several moments of silence passed as Ennis read the complaint against West &om the jury seating.

Ennis pointed out to Segerstrom and the court that the charge of 707B robbery refers to unarmed robbery.In response,

Lice have been resistant to some over-the-counter treatments for some time, said Dr. Liza Ortiz, Tuolumne County Public Health Officer.

In March 2014, the University of Massachusetts Amherst published a study that examined the genes of lice from 32 places in the U.S. and Canada. They found that 99.6percent ofthosetested in 2007-2009 were genetically

Dermatologist: Know ABCs of skin cancer

By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

Dermatologist Scott Maury sees a new caseofbasalcellcarcinoma every day anda new case ofme lanoma every two weeks. And that SPF in your makeup is worthless.

The Sonora-based certified physician assistant says skin cancer isn' t something to ignore, and if left untreated, some skin cancers can spread to other organs and even be fatal.

Maury, of the Tuolumne Me Wuk Cedar Road Health Center, gave an hour-long presentation on skin cancer to about 50 members of Sonora Regional Medical Center's &ee Oak Plus wellness program for adults older than 65.

The program hosts &ee wellness

seminars on the third Thursday of each month at the Sonora Elks Lodge.

"How many of you are wearing sunscreen right now?" Maury asked the crowd.

Only a handful raised their arms.

Skin cancer is the most common malignancy, Maury said.

"Look around — look to your le, look to your right — someone's going to get it," Maury said.

There will be 5 m i llion people treated for skin cancer in the United States this year and 5.2 million next year, Maury said. In the past 30 years, more people have had skin cancer than breast, prostate,lung and colon cancer combined.

Maury said in 14 years in practice, his youngest patient diagnosed with a melanoma was 4 and the oldest has been 104.

Smoking (even if you quit), lowered immune systems, organ transplants and genetics, all make a person more likely to get skin cancer, Maury said.

Continued from Page Bl cheekbone and he could see through a hole in her face to the Qoor.

She had to have facialreconstruction.

That kindof case is rare, Maury said.

The second most common skin cancer is squamous cell carcinoma and there are about 700,000 new

c ases

each year, Maury said.

The lesions are crusty, red and scaly and unlike basal cell, squamous cell lesions can be tender and painful.

A good warning sign of one is that it burns, itches or tingles, Maury said.

However, it may not.

Areas of chronic inllammation are at higher risk, as is skin that has been irradiated either through cancer treatment or acne radiation treatment.

Squamous cell carcinomas can also be found on the lips so Maury encourages people to wear lip balm with SPF 30.

The bad news about squamous cell carcinomas is they can spreadto distant organs and lymph nodes, becoming life threatening.

Maury told about a patient who came to him in 2007 and had a squamous cell lesion biopsied &om his cheek but who was too busy to get it all the way removed by another dermatologis t.

It got bigger and he came back a year later, but said he didn't have time for surgery

Head lice prevention tips Head lice are spread most commonly by direct head-to-head (hair-to-hair) contact. Less often, they can be spread by sharing clothing or belongings onto which lice have crawled or nits attached to shed hairs may have fallen. The risk of getting infested by a louse that has fallen onto a carpet or furniture is very small.

Head lice survive less than 1-2 days if they fall off a person and cannot feed; nits cannot hatch and usually die within a week if they are not kept at the same temperature as that found close to the scalp.

• Avoid head-to-head (hair-to-hair) contact during play and other activities at home, school, and elsewhere (sports activities, playground, slumber parties, camp).

• Do not share clothing like hats, scarves, coats, sports uniforms, hair ribbons, or barrettes.

• Do not share combs, brushes, or towels. Disinfect combs and brushesused by an infested person by soaking them in hot water (at least 130'F) for 5-10 minutes.

• Do not lie on beds, couches, pillows, carpets, or stuffed animals that have recently been in contact with an infested person.

• Machine wash and dry clothing, bed linens, and other items that an infested person wore or used during the 2 days before treatment using the hot water (130'F) laundry cycle and the high heat drying cycle. Clothing and items that are not washable can be dry-cleaned or sealed in a plastic bag and stored for 2 weeks.

• Vacuum the floor and furniture, particularly where the infested person sat or lie. However, spending much time and money on housecleaning activities is not necessary to avoid reinfestation by lice or nits that may have fallen off the head or crawled onto furniture or clothing.

• Do not use fumigant sprays or fogs; they are not necessary to control head lice and can be toxic if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.

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

Wedding invitation protocol confusing guest DEAR ANNIE: I am a 27-year-old woman and havebeen verball y invitedto afew weddings thisyear.For one, we were told to "save the date" a year in advance. I never received an actual invitation and their wedding was last weekend. The pictures are popping up on Facebook.

The second wedding, the bride and I were close, then had a falling out, then sort of made up and she

expressedverbally that she wanted me to attend her wedding. I have dinner with her every few months, but neither of us has made a big effort to spend more time together. Her wedding is coming up soon. Last month, I saw her "save the date" photos pop up on Facebook, but I did not receive one personally, nor have I received an invitation. Am I required to attend? I honestly don't want to.

The third invitation is for a couple that I am good friends with. The groom recently texted thatheexpects me to be at their wedding in Sep-

Annie's Mailbox '~~>

priate. A "save the date" notice is not an invitation. A verbal expression is not an invitation.

Facebook notices are unreliable and informal, but if the bridal couple considers this an invitation, you may, also. And someone who says, "Send me your address if you want to be invited," is too lazy to acquire your address and send a personal invitation. She expectsher guests to do allofthe work. But if you want to send her your address, even at this late

tember, but I have not received any "save the date" or invitation yet. The bridemade a Facebook page lastyear and said if people wanted to come, we should send her our addresses.

Should I send her my address now or is it too late? I originally thought it was just for her family.

Is eve~ g do n e on Facebook date, that is entirely up to yotL now? Does no one send out paper in- And of course, if you don't wish vitations or keep a guest list? What is to attend a wedding, it's perfectly my responsibility when a person ver- OK to RSVP with your regrets. ballyexpresses that Ishould attend, DEAR ANNII<:: This is regarding or posts something on Facebook say- the letter from "Outraged Mother," ing I should "come to the wedding"? whose birthmother was reposting INVITATIONALLY C H AI pictures of her children on Facebook LENGED without permission. The one suggesDEAR CHALLENGED: We can tion you didn't mention is to drop sounderstand your confusion. Pa- cial media and share photos via text per invitations are still appro- with close friends only.

I assure you my life became much better after I did exactly that. Social media was fun for a short time, but then it seemed to become a competition about who had the better lives, then a way to communicate passively, and then I watched marriages get destroyed. Some things are meant to be private. (Love your column.) — J. DEAR J.: Not too many people are willing to disconnect from social media once they have learned todepend on it for updates about friends and family.

We commend your self-discipline.

SAMe supplement can be effective for arthritis DEAR DK ROACK Please tell me about the supplement SAMe. I am a woman, 58, who suffers from osteoarthritis from my exercise routine, which is three days of heavy lifbng with free weights and 15 miles of jogging each week. I love the workouts but notthe pain it causes in my hands, knees and lower back.

I get relief kom ibuprofen and the like, but these can cause problems with longterm use. I have checked with several doctors and pharmacists concerning this supplement, but they know nothing about it.

Doctors in Europe havebeen prescribing it since the 1970s. Can you give me your opinion of this supplement? — KZ. ANSWER: S-adenosyl methionine, usually referred to as SAMe, is a naturally occurring substance found in the body, and it has beenused as a supplement in people with depression and those with osteoarthritis. It appears to have effectiveness in both cases. Regular readers of this column know that I seldom recommend supplements, but SAMe is one of the few that has good data backing it up. In a meta-analysis of 11 trials, SAMe was found to be about as effective at

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. improving function and pain as ibuprofenlike drugs but with fewer adverse effects. It may take two full months to reach peak effediveness, based on a 2004 study.

As always, I have to warn that supplements are not FDA-regulated. SAMe is alsorelatively exyensive (about $40 for 60 tablets at a U.S. warehouse store). Very inexpensive products are a warning that the product may not be of high quality or even contain what it is supposed to. This supplement is generally considered safe, but it is always best to speak with your doctor before taking any supplement.

DEAR DK ROACH: I was admitted to the hospital for aseptic meningitis. I am being treated with Arimidex for a history of ovariancancer.Could this medication beaf-

fecting my immune system? — S.R. ANSWER: Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining of the brain. There are several difFerent kinds, although we usually think of bacterial meningitis, one of the most serious and immediately life-threatening infectious emergencies there is.

"Aseptic" in this context means nonbacterial, and viral infection is the most common cause.

Many virusescan cause meningitis, but we especially look for the herpes family of viruses, partially because there is a specific treatment, but also because it can be complicated by encephalitis, which is inflammation of the brain itself. Like ail meningitis, the primary means of diagnosis is a lumbar puncture, also called a spinaltap.Theexact results help guide the clinician to the correct diagnosis. Most cases of viral meningitis go away by themselves.

Arimidex (anastrazole) is an aromatase inhibitor, which prevents the body from making estrogens. I could not 6nd any reports of this medicine causing aseptic meningitis, and it does not adversely affect the immune system. There are medicines that can cause aseptic meningitis, the most com-

In anyone with a history of cancer, I worry about cancer cells getting into the spinal fluid, a condition called carcinomatous meningitis. Breast and lung cancer are notorious ori ginal sources for these cells,as are melanoma and GI cancers. This would be rarefor ovarian cancers,but ifyour doctor is concerned, he or she will send the spinal fluid for cytological evaluation.

Today in history Today is Thursday, August 27, the 239th day of 2015. There are 126 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On August 27, 1975, Hails Selassie (HY'-lee sehl-AH'-see), the last emperor of Ethiopia's 3,000-year-old monarchy, died in Addis Ababa at age 83 almost a year after being overthrown.

On this date: In 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa erupted with a series of cataclysmic explosions; the resulting tidal waves in Indonesia's Sunda Strait claimed some 36,000 lives in Java and Sumatra.

In 1939, the first turbojetpowered aircraft, the Heinkel He 178, went on its first full-fledged test flight over Germany.

In 1949, a violent white mob prevented an outdoor concert headlined by Paul Robeson from taking place near Peekskill, New York.

(The concert was held eight days later.)

In 1962, the United States launched the Mariner 2 space probe, which flew past Venus in December 1962.

In 1979, British war hero Lord Louis Mountbatten and three other people, including his 14-year-old grandson Nicholas, were killed off the coast of Ireland in a boat explosion claimed by the Irish Republican Army.

In 1989, the first U.S. commercial satellite rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida - a Delta booster carrying a British communications satellite, the Marcopolo 1.

In 2008, Barack Obama was nominated for president by the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Vulnerable: East-West On the second round of the auction, South South West N orth E a st was a smidgen strong for three diamonds, y$ p Pass 1 Pass but a tad weak to rebid three no-trump (which would have promised about another king).

South has 11 top winners: one spade, two 5NT Pa s s 61 All P a ss hearts,seven diamonds and one club. He needs two club tricks. Also, given that West led dummy's suit, not the club king, it seems 0 enin lead:4Q unlikely that he has both club honors, and so one of the two club finesses will work. However, a declarer who knows about elimination and endplay will see that no finesses are needed.

South wins with dummy's spade ace, ruffs a spade in his hand (key play), leads a trump to dummy's 10, ruffs another spade, plays a diamond to dummy's ace, ruffs the last spade, cashes his heart ace, and leads a heart to the king. With the trumps drawn and majors eliminated, declarer plays a club to his 10. West wins the trick but is endplayed.

NBA Warriors give championship trophy a world tour

By MARCUS THOMPSON H The San Jose Mercury News

It's been an epic summer for Larry.

Grand Marshal of two parades — at the g San Francisco Gay Pride parade with Warriors president Rick Welts and in honor of Harrison Barnes in Ames, Iowa. Stephen Curry's basketball camp at Pebble Beach. Andre Iguodala's old high school in Springfield, Illinois.

Who is Larry? He is the Warriors' new best friend, golden evidence of the &anchise's 2015 NBA title. He is the Larry O' Brien championship trophy.

He's become one of the franchise's most covetedmembers, traveling all around the globe to represent the Warriors.

He's even been to a Costco bathroom in Coralville, Iowa.

That was when Massimo Degaudenzi, a 27-year-old as-

"It' s definitely top of the art and one of the better weight rooms, I'd have to say, in the NFL." The Raiders committed to the project costing an estimated $8 million this offsea-

son despite the uncertainty about their future. The team

is playing on a one-year lease at the Oakland Coliseum and is seeking a more permanent home.

of their exhibition game on Saturday night.

"Itgoes back tothe players on the field,"49ers head coach Jim Tomsula said. "It speaks volumes."

San Francisco players worked through the effects of altitude while going against the Broncos at their suburban Denver headquarters. The teams went through simultaneous drills on adjoining ieldsand rotated different f units throughout.

Toward the end of the nearly two-hour practice, Manning lined up against the 49ers defense with Bethea playing s afety.

Manning tried to connect with receiver Cody Latimer near the sideline but Bethea jumped the route and got the interception.

"I think h e p robably thought we were in a dHferent coverage," Bethea said.

"In my head I'm thinking, 'OK, he might think we' re in this coverage' and I was able to get underneath No. 1. Good play, good read."

He was cheered on by his

runningthe ball.Thegroup ofrunnmg backs has coach Mike Brennan very excited about the possibilities.

"It has been a long time coming," Brennan said. "We usually have one, maybe two players like that in the past. But having three players, and there are some good backups out there, we just haven't had that in a long time."

Fullback: Ulvevadet will be the starting fullback, paving the way for the Bears rushing attack. In 2014, he was mostly used as a linebacker. But a season-ending injury to Humphrey Quirie put Ulvevadet in the starting fullback role. He had his coming out party on the road against Calaveras in week nine. He rushed for 147 yards on 22 carries including a 46-yard touchdown run. Two weeks later, Ulvevadet rushed for 90 yards and four scores at home against Linden in a 42-28 win.

'The opportunity to run the ball last year just gave him huge skills that he might not have had otherwise," Brennan said. "But since he filled that role, and filled it very successfully, he was abletopassup otherpeopleatthefullback position and has now become really good."

Junior Zach Marquez will also see some playing time at fullback.

Wide receiver: Summerville's cup is full with skill at the wide receiver position. McCready may be the most talented receiver in the MLL. He' s

Headed to the restroom alone, he started noticing all the people and got nervous.

"I felt liked David Latham in The Transporter,' " Degaudenzi said. "I was getting kind of paranoid about the whole thing."

It would've been just his luck if someone broke into his car and kidnapped Larry. He couldn't help but imagine returning to an empty slot, some thief having stolen Hertz's 2015 Chevy Trax.

How would he explain Larry ending up on eBay because he took bathroom break?

"Lastperiod of the day just trying to hurry up and get off' the field," Bethea said. "We always say if you get a pick-6 you get off the field quick. I'm glad we were able to make that happen."

Bethea has institutional knowledge of Manning &om when they were teammates in Indianapolis.

Bethea was drafted by the Colts in 2006 and was a rookie on the Colts team that won the Super Bowl.

He went against Manning in practic e for fi ve seasons before a series of neck surgeries sidelined the quarterback in 2011.

"Ithelped me a lot,especially my first couple of years in the league. The different looks he gives a defense, just the knowledge of the game he has," Bethea said. "In games he made it so easy. Going up against one of the best quarterbacksin practice, when game time comes the game slows down."

had 932 receiving yards. Joining McCready are fellow seniors, Whalen, 6-foot-4 Jake Noonen, junior Jeremy Ortmann, and first-year player, senior Eli McLaurin.

"JT is extremely fun to watch when he has the ball in his hands, but that isn't a surprise," Leveroos said. 'The realbig surprise so far has been Eli McClaurin. Eli has really natural hands and he high points the ball really well."

Tight end: The Bears have a threeway battle for the starting role between seniors Brewster, Kenney Warnock, and sophomore McCormic Banks. The three tight ends will be asked often to act as a sixth lineman and not just to catch the ball down field.

'The competition has been pretty tight so far," Warnock said. "All of us have different aspects that we can bring to the table. It has been a friendly competition between all of us because we all just want to play. I think that we will get even playing time and the coaches will rotate us in when they see fit."

"I didn'twant to corrupt Larry like that."

Larry wouldn't have minded. He's been just about everywhere the past two months.

He's hung out with Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, with the Warriors' Dance Team on a media tour, with San Jose police at a golf event.

He's partied at Plank in Jack London Square with Oracleworkers, practiced with co, camped with young hoopers in Walnut Creek.

He wasn't in China this weekend. That was Larry's twin, the NBA's replica trophy.

BIUEFS Nike fights Fed subpoena in lawsuit against Armstrong

AUSTIN, Texas — Athletic apparel giant Nike Inc. is fighting subpoenas for financial documents and witness depositions in the suit against former cyclist Lance Armstrong, arguing they are irrelevant to the caseand could compromise trade secrets.

SEATTLE (AP) — Billy Burns accomplished what only two others had done, greeting Seattle ace Felix Hernandez with a home run leading off the game. On the first pitch, no less.

Grand jug indicts ex49er RayMcDonald SAN FRANCISCO — A Santa Clara County grand jury indicted former San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald on one count of rape of an intoxicated person.

The announcement came Wednesday, with the indictment stemming from an incident Dec. 15 at McDonald's home.

Current 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks also has been charged by the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office with misde-

meanor sexual battery for an alleged assault the same day involving the same victim.The case against Brooks also was announced Wednesday.

The 49ers sent Brooks home from Colorado, where they are holding joint practices with the Broncos before playing a preseason game against Denver on

Saturday night.

The organization is aware thata misdemeanor charge has been filed against Ahmad Brooks stemming from a December 2014 matter. We take any charge against a member of this organization seriously and are in communication with the NFL," 49ers general manager Trent Baalke

said in a written statement.

McDonald is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 25. He faces a maximum of eight years in prison.

Brooks faces a maximum of six months in jail. His arraignment hadn't been scheduled.

In a civil lawsuit filed in May against both men, a woman accused Brooks of

groping her while she was unconscious at McDonald's home.

The woman said she slipped and fell on a pool deck at McDonald's house in December 2014 and continued to fall after that due to her initial head injury and alcohol consumption.

McDonald initially thought she was dead, but did not call 911, telling others he didn't want a dead female found on his property, according to the suit.

At some point, Brooks groped her before McDonald carried her upstairs to his bedroom and sexually assaulted her, the lawsuit claimed.

Also Wednesday, the grand jury indicted McDonald for a May 27 violation of a restrainiiig order stem-

Between Burns' homer and Butler's single in the fifth, the only Oakland batterto reach base was Eric Sogard, who was hit by a pitch in the third.

"I found some things with my mechanics and I felt way better today. Fastball was there and I could locate it both sides of the plate," Hernandez said.

Cruz's homer came in the eighth off reliever Fernando Abad, but it was an early offensive outburst that backed Hernandez. Seattle sent 10 battersto the plate in the first and scored four times that inning off Chris Bassitt
