Film crews set up shop in Tuolumne County last week, to use a historic bar as thebackdrop for the pilot episode of a television series about friendship, addiction, and life in a small town. A crew ofabout 15 arrived last Tuesday for a fi ve-day shoot at the Longhorn Saloon on Chestnut Street in Tuolumne. The hour-long show, "Dive," follows two friends: Steve, the new owner of a struggling bar, and Mark, a recovering addict fresh out of rehab who comes to help him run the place. The pilot is written and directed by former Oakdale resident Matthew Lopes and produced by David McAbee formerly of Modesto. Both now live in Los Angeles. "It'sdark at times, but there's a lotofgood gags,despite the subject matter," Lopes said. Four years in the making, the projectraised just over $1,400 through an online fundraiser in 2013 and attracted a manager to help pitch the show to the FX

Suicide has been a problem in Tuolumne County for a long time, and local prevention workers are working hard to bring the taboo subject out of the dark and keep people alive. About 1 in 20 people in Tuolumne County, or 2,700 people, will have suicidal thoughts at some point in their life, according to Suicide Prevention Task Force member Martha Golay, of the Amador-Tuolumne Community Action Agency, and YES Partnership. In 2007, Tuolumne County's suicide rate was twice the stateaverage,and it remains higher than the state average. Tuolumne County Public Health Officer Dr. Liza Ortiz saidtherewere eightsuicides in Tuolumne County in 2014, which is a calculated rate of 14.8 per 100,000 people. In 2014, California's suicide rate was 10.5 per 100,000. To calculatethe rate, the California Department of

Jamboree celebrates 20 years

By JASON COWAN The Union Democrat

The White Pines Logging Jamboree was held Saturday just outside of White Pines Lake. The event included numerous sawing events and competitionsas wellasfood vendors and tours of the Sierra Nevada Logging Museum. The jamboree, held just outside a lodge that houses the museum, debuted 20 years ago. Back then, the museum was in a 20-by-40-foot building. A shell was built at the museum's current location 15 years ago. Five years later, three men in their 70s decided to finish the building. "They worked for no money,n said Pat Bradley, a director of the board of the Friends oftheLogging Museum. "The quality of the men, they were custom-home builders and their wives let them come out ofretirement." This year's event — its 10th at the current location — was "thebiggest yet,"said Bradley.

RoccaParkgets new movie kiosk Agencies working to improve South county services

By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

Jamestown's revitalization continues this month with the installation of a new custom kiosk that details Tuolumne County's film history. The kiosk also includes a map of the town's Walk of Fame medallions embedded in a new sidewalk connecting downtown Jamestown to Railtown 1897 State Historic Park. Each of the bronze medallions represent one of 30 of the most well known locally shot movies and TV shows. The kiosk was a project of the Walk of Fame committee, said committee chairman Jim O' Neill. It was sponsored by the Promotion Club ofJamestown and Chicken Ranch Casino. The kiosk has three sides — one lists 30 of the most well known films and television productions shot in Tuolumne County with a map of where the respective productions medallions are on the Walk of Fame; one in a movie reel theme shows photos of movie stills; and one side with behind the scenes production photos and a history of film and television production in the county. The history section was written by Cedar Ridge resident and local historian Bob Holton. A 31st medallion on the Walk of Fame honors Huell Howser, host of "California's Gold!," a television show which has featured Jamestown on many occasions. Howser's medallion is embedded in the sidewalk next to the kiosk, and says, "It' s amazing!" Howser's well known catchphrase. The kiosk project was the third part of afour-part projectto revitalize downtown and connect it to Railtown, intended to educate and interest tourists and locals alike. The Promotion Club partnered with members of the Sonora Lions and Rotary clubs, Tuolumne County, the Sonora Area Foundation, the California State Railroad Museum, Railtown and various community volunteers, to completely rebuild the Rocca Park Gazebo earlier this year. The sidewalk project was completed in early summer. The fourth component, a mural on the side of the old pharmacy building at the

Then the Walk of Fame committee will fundraise for the cost of the mural, which will depict aspects of Jamestown's culture and features like Railtown.

The moretime goes by sincelastfall'spassage of the high-minded Proposition 47, the more it begins to look like a well-intentioned mistake. This was the ballot measure that turned some "minor" felonies into misdemeanor crimes, thus easing the crowding in state prisons and many county jails. It has unquestionably helped some ex-felons rebuild their lives. But as crime statistics for the first half of this year pour in from around the state, this measure looks worse and worse, on balance.

"Proposition 47 is a dangerous...package of illconceived policies wrapped in a poorly drafted initiative which will endanger all Californians, said opponents, led by Citrus Heights Police Chief Christopher Boyd, president of the California Police Chiefs Assn. Here's a bit of what's happened since passage: In San Francisco, car burglaries are up 47 percent this year over 2014, while car thefts have risen 17 percentand robberiesrose by 23 percent.In Los Angeles, overall crime is up 12.7 percent this year

'Y:i

and violent crime rose almost 21 percent. That' s

after12 straight years ofcrime decreases in the state's largest city. Some saw Proposition 47 as a mere expansion on Gov. Jerry Brown's prison "realignment" program, designed to reduce prison populations at the demand of federal judges up to the level of the U.S. Supreme Court. Convicts on a de facto basis were already seeing sentences reduced or being shifted from tougher state prisons to county jails. Many lesser offenders who might previously have gottenatleastsome jailtim ewere going free on probation. Prior to Proposition 47, this had cut the prison population by almost one-fifth, while not causingcrime rateincreases in m ostplaces. But the initiative does much more than mere realignment, switching many crimes from the felony category to misdemeanors. This includes most drug possession arrests,petty thefts,forged checks and receiving stolen property, with propertycrimes having to exceed$950 tobea felony.One result: Myriad drug addicts have adjusted their practices, trying to hold their take from "minor" crimes under that amount. Because of crowding in local jails, it's common for misdemeanor offend-

erstobe turned loose soon aftertheirconvictions. Proposition 47 supporters also touted the fact their measure allows all those crimes to be treated as felonies if the accused has previous convictions for rape, murder or child molestation or is a registered sex ofFender. Not enough, said the opponents, noting that personswith priorconvictions for armed robbery, carjacking, child abuse, assault with a deadly weapon and other serious crimes would still be allowed misdemeanor status for new non-violent ofFenses. They pointed out that thousands of convictswho stood to be released because their crimes would be converted into misdemeanors have prior records of violent crimes not listed among the most dangerous. At the same time, many convict firefighters (about40 percent ofcrews battling major fires in California are convicts) have been released becauseofreductions in thecategory oftheircrim es. Prison-providedfire crews nevertheless retained the same manpower as last year during the early blazes of this wildfire season. No one yet knows if in-prison recruiting of some new

firefighters will produce the same quality of work (several fires this summer spread far wider than officials expected) or whether more convicts on wild-land crews will now try to escape. Proposition 47 also earmarked much of the prison money it saves for mental health and drug treatment programs, aiming to cushion the effects of making most drug possessions no more than minor offenses. But enrollment in drug treatment programs has dropped, probably a sign that many addicts no longer feel pressured to kick their habits. They know the+ never do significant time either for using or for most crimes that support their addictions. So it's become quite clear the opponents made good points. On balance, Proposition 47 is turning out to be bad policy. Now it's time for legislators to do what they can to fix the flawed measure. A start would be increasing the list of serious prior offenses than can turn the new "minor" crimes back into felonies.

Kate teinle'sparents strike back "We' re here not only for Kate, to keep her memory alive, but to have something done," a shellshocked James Steinle pronounced at a Tuesday news conference on the steps of San Francisco City Hall.

The San Francisco district attorney charged an immigrant who was here illegally and who had seven felony convictions and five prior deportations with first-degree murder.

This is a crime that never should have happened. So flanked by his wife, Liz Sullivan, their son, Brad, and a cluster of lawyers, Steinle announced legal action against San Franciscoand federal agencies in an effort to squeeze something positive out of what is every parent's nightmare. Government officials screwed up, and no one seems eager to correct the mistakes. Said Steinle, "The silence has been deafening." It started with a gun. In a departure from

time when it was not actually needed." As a result, "Lopez-Sanchez was allowed to gain accessto aloaded weapon that helaterused to kill Kate." In July, James Steinle went after San Francisco's "sanctuary city" policy. He testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee that he believed that his daughter died "by the hand of a person that should have never been on the streets of this coun-

try." For his part and to the contrary, Pitre defended San Francisco's sanctuary city rules and said they were "never designed to protect" the likes of Lopez-Sanchez. The Steinle claim actually lauds San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee for "courageously" faulting Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi for not notifying Immigration and Customs Enforcement before releasing Lopez-Sanchez. Let me back up a few steps. In 1985, then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein signed San

Mirkarimi maintains that the feds knew

that if they want to deport an inmate like Lopez-Sanchez, they have to produce additional documentation. The sheriff blames ICE fornotmaking him hand over theMexican national. The legal claim asserts that ICE was aware of San Francisco's status as a sanctuary city and that therefore ICE should have presented the sherifF with "a judicialwarrant or order for deportation." That's right; Pitre made the same argument as Mirkarimi.

al BureauofLand Management ranger left a loaded .40-caliber service gun unsecured in his car in San Francisco. The gun was stolen — and later used to kill Kate Steinle. Did Steinle's death serve as a wake-up call? Not at all. Even after the much-publicized shooting, James Steinle observed, there have been two instances of guns stolen becauselaw enforcement officersfailed to secure their weapons. It happened in August, when University of California, Berkeley police Chief Margo Bennett left her gun in her car as she went jogging. Days later, thieves stolea Hayward police offi cer's Sig Sauer P239 handgunfrom hiscarin Oakland. In papers filed by a legal team headed by attorney Frank Pitre, the Steinles say the BLM ranger "failed to exercise his mandatory duty to leave his firearm unloaded at a

designed to protect refugees from Central America. Over the years, City Hall expandedthe policy.In 2013,the Board of Supervisors unanimously passed and Lee signed the Due Process for All Ordinance, which directed local law enforcement not to detain individuals based on an ICE detainer request — unless an individual has been convicted of a violent felony in the past seven years or there is a judge's finding of probable cause. Now the mayor claims that the ordinance, which challenges the constitutionality of ICE detainers, does not preclude law enforcement from alerting ICE before an inmate's pending release. In essence, Lee is arguing that the law never prevented law enforcers from communicating with ICE. (On July 21, Supervisor Mark Farrell in-

to change its sanctuary city policy, Steinle's mother answered that she wants to end it, but only for violent ofFenders. Sullivan is in a lot of pain. Someone needs to tell her that according to the family's legal briefs, Lopez-Sanchez has a string of heroin and other drug convictions to his name during his 20-plus years in the criminal justice system but no conviction for a violent offense. Thus, City Hall's 2013 ordinance sees Lopez-Sanchez as worthy of protection from ICE. This policy invites preventable crime. What city wants to shield a seven-time loser from deportati on?

1 m1 AND THE NATION AND WORLD

ama us es ai sic eave BOSTON (AP) — Courting unions on LaborDay,President Barack Obama denounced Republicans for a "constant attack on working Americans" and said he was using his executive power to force federal contractors to give paid sick leave to their employees. Obama was met with resounding applause at a major union rally and breakfast in Boston on Monday when he said he had signed the executive order aboard Air Force One as he flew in to mark Labor Day. He said Republicans who claim

Democrats who voted to support those talks in Congress. Unions have warned that the deals could lead to the widespread job elimination. Obama has signed a law providing money to retrain workers if their jobs get shipped overseas. Under the executive order, employees working on federal contracts gain the right to a minimum of one hour of paid leave for every 30 hours they work. Stretched out over 12 months, that's up to seven days peryear.The orderwillal-

talking big, but they "have to walk the walk." Obama said opponents ofhis economic policies "won't let facts or evidence get in their way." "You just wait, you look up at the sky and prosperity will come raining down on us from the top of whatever high-rise in New York City," he said sarcastically. "But that's not how the economy works." He added that the GOPs mindset has been "wrecking the economy for a long, long time." The Labor Day gesture to workers' groups came as Obama works to smooth

sick relatives as well, and will affect contracts starting in 2017 - just as Obama leavesoffice. Business groups said Obama's order would make it harder for small businesses to retain federalcontractorsand could hinder economic growth. "Once again President Obama is using the federal procurement system to do something it was never been designed to do: usurp the legislative authority of Congress to determine appropriate workplace policies," said Randy Johnson, senior vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. over tensions with the labor movement The White House wouldn't specify the overhistrade agenda.Major unions are costtofederalcontractors to implement opposing Obama's push for sweeping the executive order. The Labor Departnew trade deals with Asia and Europe, ment said any costs would be offset by with some threatening to work against savingsthat contractors would see as

a result of lower attrition rates and increased worker loyalty, but produced nothing to back that up. Vice President Joe Biden echoed Obama's theme in a march with an influential labor leader, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who introduced Biden in Pittsburgh as a "brother" and "a champion of working men and working women."A few along the parade route chanted "run, Biden, run," in a reference to Biden's ongoing deliberations about whether to run for president in 2016. In Boston, Obama was flanked by prominent Democrats such as Sen. ElizabethWarren and agiantbanner reading "Workers and Community" in red, white and blue. Labor leaders Randi Weingarten and Mary Kay Henry joined Obama for the flight on Air Force One. In the corridors of the hotel hosting the breakfast, boxes of campaign signs could be spotted bearing the name of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who opposes the trade deals. Obama chose Labor Day to announce the executive order as he works to enact what workplace policies he can before his presidency ends despite resistance in Congress to laws he's proposed. The push has reverberatedon the 2016 campaign trail, with Democrats seeking a distinction with Republicans on who's most supportiveofthe middle class.

Officials work to stop thefts of artifacts "Drought brings the water down. Much of the lake (normally) hides cultural sites and villages," said Bill Salta, the state parks superintendent in Lake County.

LAKEPORT (AP) — The four-year drought that has ravaged California and the wildfires charring through the state' s dry forests have exposed prehistori c Native American sites as water levels drop and thick brush and poison oak are burned away. That has helped artifact looterssearching for obsidian spear points and other artifacts.

members of the Lake County Sheriff's Office attended training on illegal looting of artifacts, and learned that many times looters are looking for quick cash to buy drugs. Two days after the training ended, a Lake County

s corched earth deputy ran across an arti-

looking for signs of Native American sites, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Sunday. Taking the artifacts is illegal, in some cases a felony. Still, it's typically an underthe-radar crime, but in Lake County and some other places, there's a new effort by officialsto attack the problem beforeitgetsworse. In mid-August, several

The deputy saw the suspect, Brian Gene Smith, had a satchelfullofspear points, serrated hand tools and obsidian flakes. Some were attachedto index cards noting where and when the items were found, sheriff's officials said. They said Smith — his hands unable to remain still

— said he was writing a book and was going to return the items to the tribes. Everything from the artifact training was playing out in front of the deputy, officials said: the drugs. The documentation. Photos of finds on a digital camera. Smith was jailed on suspicion of crimes including possession of Native American artifacts and removing objectsof archaeological or historical interest. The arrest was a milestone inefforts to get law enforcement to r ecognize such crimes, said Dino Beltran,treasurer oftheTribal Council for the Koi Nation, one ofthe Porno tribes in the region.

As European leaders debated how to share responsibility for the more than 340,000 people from the Middle East, Africa and Asia who are already seeking refuge, Germany promisedto spend billionsofeuros in extra aid for those already there and those yet to arrive. France weighed whether increased airstrikes against Islamic State militants would help to stem the flow of those fleeing Syria. But the Hungarian prime minister scoffed at aproposed quota system for refugees in the 28-member European Union, saying it wouldn't work unless Europe first secured its borders.

Hungary's inability to control the flow of people across its southern border with Serbia was on graphic display Monday. Crowds who had grown tired of waiting for buses at Hungary's first migrant holding center near the border village of Roszke tore down flimsy police tape, advanced down a country road and walked around rows of police trying to block them. Officers offered no resistance as about half of the 500-strong crowd reached the M5 highway that connects Serbia and Hungary. They headed north along the shoulder, raising their arms and chanting "Germanyl Germanyl" Police merely walked beside them as a lone helicopter monitored the marchers' progress north as darkness fell. The highway was blockedfornearly 30 m iles as a precaution. The move mirrored Friday's surge of people from Budapest toward Austria in a traffic-snarling tactic that forced Hungary to concede defeat and bus thousands to the Austrian border.

Wildfire burning near Fresnogrows

FRESNO — California's biggest blaze expanded further overnight and came closer to a small development in Kings Canyon National Park that houses rangers headquarters, campgrounds, a lodge, a store and a restaurant. Cal Fire said Monday the wildfire has charred 148 square miles with fl ames feeding on chaparral and timber stricken by drought. Over the weekend, the fire reached an area about 1.5 miles away from Cedar Grove, a small development on Highway 180 near the eastern end of the canyon. The firein Fresno County is currentlythe largest ofsix blazes burning in California. It is 31 percent contained. The blaze that began July 31 during a lightning strike has closed roads and about 10 campgrounds around Hume Lake and Kings Canyon.

The Saturday night fire at Wright's Tire in Sonora mainly burned the outside tire storage area, said Sonora Fire Department Captain Kurt Rhoades.

FIRE Continued from Page Al The quick containment also kept the fire &om spreading to a nearby lumber yard where propane tanks are stored. People who live nearby said they heard explosionsorloud booms. In addition to the Sonora Fire Department,

agencies responded included Tuolumne County Fire, CAL Fire, Columbia Fire, and Columbia College Fire. An estimated $15,000 was reported in damages. No injuries were reported. On Monday, Rhoades said there was no new information on the investigation.

at least one well failure per day. A program launched latelastyeartoprovide assistance for homeowners without water due to drought-related well failures has allowed the county to map their locations, which led to the discovery. The possible correlation was revealed through amap developed by Larry Beil,the county's GIS coordinator, overlaying the locations of the well failures with the locations of historic mining claims. "It really does follow that trend," Kostlivy said. "It's pretty telling." Groundwater in the area runs through &actures in bedrock as opposed to underground basins like those in the Central Valley. It's difficult to predict the amount water that wells drilled into &actured rock will yield because they have a high variability depending on the &acture. Kostlivy spoke with colleagues in Nevada County and Colorado who said they saw the same trend with &actured rock wells producing greater yields around areas that had a high incidence of mining activity. ''Whatwe're seeingherein Tuolumne County is, had there been no mining activity at all, the actual well yield might only one to two gallons a minute," he said. "However, with these mines acting as cisterns, it's giving false readlilgs.

Early prospectors during the days of the Gold Rush mostly panned for placer gold along area streams. Many towns that sprung up during the initial boom became deserted after the 1860s, such as Montezuma, Springfield and Sawmill Flat. The area experienced a second boom period in the late 1800s with the introduction of hard rock mining, said Bob Holton, a Mother Lode historian and Union Democrat columnist. "They called it a second Gold Rush," he said. "They had big stamp mills that would crush the oreand chemically treatitto retrieve the gold. All throughout our area you could hear those things just pounding away 24 hours a day." Holton said water was continuously pumped from the area's mines, some of which went as deep as 4,000 feet underground. The government made gold mining illegal shortly after the start of World War II, effectively putting an end to the "second Gold Rush."Many of the mines fi ooded and were never re-opened when the government lifted the ban after the war. Many parts of the county that have the highestconcentrations ofdry wellsarealsocloseto where much of the hard rock mining occurred, such as Tuttletown, Quartz and Stent. However, a connection between these his-

toric mines and the productivity of area wells still warrants further research. Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey are planning to conduct studies in the coming months, Kostlivy said. Assistance for residents with dry wells is available through a state-funded program administered by the county. As of earlier this week, more than 100 emergency water tanks had been installed throughout the county. "We' re still asking for all the residents to be prepared,conserve and really be diligent when it comes to water conservation," Kostlivy said. "It is so imperative."

Much of the historic mining activity followed fault lines that cut through the Mother Lode, said Jeff Tolhurst, an earth sciences professor at Columbia College. Gold and quartz was generated along the fault lines due to plate tectonic movement more than a 100 million years ago. "Those fault structures were the gold producers," Tolhurst said. "The old timers didn' t know that and they would just follow the quartz, and it turns out they were delineating Contact Alex MacLean at amacleanO some ofthosefaults." uniondemocrat.corn or 588-4530.

The ingredients are simple and you probably already have most of them at home. There is rarely a day that goes by that I don't enjoy an avocado with one of my meals or as a snack. They truly are nature's butter and require nothing to make them an amazing and healthy treat. Avocados are one of the too.

Cheesy EggAvocado and Bacon Break fast Sandwich Serves: 2 to 3 2 to 3 mini bagels, toasted with butter 4 large eggs, scrambled (seasoned with salt and pepper to taste) 3 to4 slices crispy cooked bacon 1/3 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese 1 California avocado, Juice of one lime See BAGEL/Page B5

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

stantly tell me I'm not a good mother

or daughter. I have always tried to be a good daughter, especially after Dad passed away. My sisters don't do much for our mom. One lives out of state, so I guess she thinks she doesn't have to do anything. The other sister calls Mom often, but doesn't bother to stop by and see her. Mom is on a limited income. We all work full time and have husbands, but I'm the only one who buys her groceriesand takes herplaces.Irecently told my mother how I was feeling about my sisters, and she told me they will never change. And why should they? Mom refuses to aak for any help from the other two. She never asks me to take her shopping, but I know she needs food in her house. I also enjoy spending

time with my mom. She's an awesome woman who worked hard and provided for her children. Ihad once before disappeared from Mom'8 life because I was tired of putting up with this nonsense. I didn' t speak to anyone for a year. But I realized my mother won't be here forever, and we' vebeen attachedatthehip ever since. Now I'm tired of the nonsense again. What am I supposed to do? My sistersare perfectly aware of Mom'8 needs. I believe they are selfish. What's it going to take for them to wake up? I can't talk to either one of them because it just upsets me. But I can'tgo back and keep taking care of Mom all by myself. It gets expensive to do this every week with no help what-

soever.— THE BLACK SHEEP DEAR SHEEP: You sound like a earing daughter,but you cannot force your sisters to be the same. If you were an only child, would you continue helping Mom? It might be less frustrating for you to think of yourself that way. However,you may be able to get your sisters to contribute 6nancially if it lets them off the hook otherwise. Calmly explain that Mom's income limits what she can buy at the grocery, and though you are happy to take her shopping and supplement her supplies, it is becoming too difficult. Ask how much they can contribute for these expenses. We hope they come through. D EAR ~ : I fel t t he need to respond to the letter from "Gary," wonderingabout appropriatedressfora funeral. I have attended more wakes and funerals than I can count, and I know what is considered"appropriate"attire.

The risk and reward of blood sugar control goals DEAR DR. ROACH:I read about a follow-up study on the ACCORD population that showed that aAer a few yearsoffollow-up, people in the tight blood-sugar-control arm had fewer heart attacks and need for stents. Can you comment on this? I want to know if I should keep my Alc lower.— S.B. ANSWER: In an important topic like heart disease with Type 2 thabetes, there are many studies, and it can be hard to make sense out of them all. Let me giveyou my personal understanding, having read many of them and consulted with experts in the field. For people at relatively high risk for heart disease, "tight" control (meaning a goalAlc levelof 6 percent or less) leads to increased deaths in the first six months to a year or so after changing to tight control. That was the original ACCORD study, which was stopped early. However, subsequent studies on the same population

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D.

Unfortunately, "relatively high risk" isn't easily defined. People who are older, who have had diabetesfor 10 or more years, especially if was not tightly controlled to begin with, and people with other risks for heart disease, such as smoking, a family history of heart trouble or very high cholesterol certainly are at higher risk. This is the group that is at risk for worse outcomes with tight control, and I don' t recommend an Alc goal of 6 percent for those people. One study showed that the more calcium in the arteries (this can be measured by a CT scan), the greater the risk with tight control. showed that if you survive the first On the other hand, people with year, your ongoing risk is lower than newly diagnosed diabetes who don' t it would be with a less-stringent goal have additional risk factors are likely (such as around 7 percent). to have better outcomes with rela-

tively tight control. There is always the danger of hypoglycemia with very tight control, so management requires an experienced clinician who individualizes therapy (medication, diet, exercise) for optimum results. Clinicians with more experience in managing diabetes are likely to have better outcomes. In my practice, we have two outstanding nurse practitioners who

are expert at managing diabetes, but internists and endocrinologists who m ake diabetes a big partoftheirpractice also are excellent choices. Your diabetes doctor should be working with you to make this decision. The booklet on coronary artery disease explains more about the risk factors for this condition.

vinegar as a cleaning agent? — N.J.A. ANSWER:I often get asked whether apple cider vinegar cures arthritis (it doesn' t) or can help relieve symptoms (it might, but there is no good evidence that it does), but I have never heard anyone ask about vinegar touching the skin causing internal problems. Vinegar is a mild acid (most are about 5 percent acetic acid), which normally isn't particularly irritating to the skin, and shouldn't be absorbed. Even if it were, acetic acid is found in the body (it's an important molecule in several metabolic pathways) and your body can use it as an energy source. There is no reason to be concerned about being exposed to household vinegar. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Sept. 8, the 251st day of 2015. There are 114 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Sept. 8, 1935, Sen. Huey P. Long, D-La., was shot and mortally wounded inside the Louisiana State Capitol; he died two days later. (The assailant was identified as Dr. Carl Weiss, who was gunned down by Long's bodyguards.) On this date: In 1892, an early version of "The Pledge of Allegiance," written by Francis Bellamy, appeared in "The Youth' s Companion." In 1900, Galveston, Texas, was struck by a hurricane that killed an estimated 8,000 people. In 1921, Margaret Gorman, 16, of Washington, D.C., was crowned the first "Miss America" in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 1934, more than 130 people lost their lives in a fire aboard the liner SS Morro Castle off the New Jersey coast. In 1945, Bess Myerson of New York was crowned Miss America in Atlantic City, New Jersey, becoming the first Jewish contestant to win the title. In 1954, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) was founded in Manila by the United States, France, Britain, New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan. In 1966, the science-fiction TV series "Star Trek" premiered on NBC; the situation comedy "That Girl," starring Marlo Thomas, premiered on ABC. In 1974, President Gerald R. Ford granted a "full, free, and absolute pardon" to former President Richard Nixon covering his entire term in office. In1985, Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds tied Ty Cobb's career record for hits, singling for hit number 4,191 during a game against the Cubs in Chicago.

Preheat a grill or the broiler. Cut the cooled polenta into 12

squares and remove them from the baking dish. Brush the tops of the polenta squares with 1 t a blespoon of the olive oil, set them over the grill or under the broiler, and cook until slightly charred and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a 12- to 14-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 45 minutes to 1 minute, until light brown. Add all the spinach at once, and cook quickly until just wilted,about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a colander set on a plate. Remove the polenta from the grill or broiler, and arrange the squares on a warmed platter. Spoon some warm spinach on top of each square, crumble some of the fresh robiola over the spinach, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Seriously simple: Henry's shrimp stands out By DIANE ROSSEN WORTHINGTON Tribune Content Agency

Recently, my husband and I visited the Hudson Valley area to see what was up with the farm-

to-table movement. I had the opportunityto visit a few farmers, learnabout new and old farming methods, and taste some straightfrom-the-garden produce. One spot I visited in Pine Island, N.Y., called Rogowski Farms is famous for their onions. It's a black dirt farm that grows some of the most flavorful produce I have ever tasted. The black dirt is a result of glaciers melting away over 10,000 years ago and the dirt becoming deep, rich organic soil. Not a fanofkale,Iwasserved atender kale salad that changed my mind aboutthe leafy vegetable and reinforced my preference for &eshfrom-the-farm produce. Fall apples were just coming out and we visited an apple orchard as well as a hard cider boutique. We tasted a nice variety of ciders and wanted to pair them

with food. This old, yet new industry is coming back strong. Clearly, we will continue to see more hard cider varieties arrive in our mar-

kets in the fall. We dined at numerous inns and restaurants, but I was taken

with this amazingly simple but delicious shrimp dish served at the beautiful inn we visited. Buttermilk Falls Inn in Milton, N.Y., has its own garden as well as acres of beautiful foliage to wander through.One night we dined at the inn's restaurant, Henry's at the Farm, where we enjoyed succulent shrimp. This recipe needs to beprepared just before serving, but it only takes a few minutes. This can be a first course or a main dish.

Oakland wins 10-9 over Houston

OAKLAND (AP)For Sean Doolittle, closing out a onerun victory against a division leader in September after an injuryshortened season meant the world. A 1-2-3 ninth with a strikeout to end it was even sweeterforthe Oakland closer, who helped the Athletics snap a five-game losing streak in a 10-9 victory over the AL West-leading Houston Astros on Monday. Doolittle came off the 60-day disabled list Aug. 22. In a game of big leads and big home runs, the A's held on with some timely hits, including pinch-hitter Coco Crisp's go-ahead two-run double in the sixth after Oakland chased Mike Fiers. Josh Phegley hit a two-run drive in the seventh for the A's after Houston had pulled within 8-6 in the top half. Mark Canha homered and singled in a run, while Billy Burns added a two-run single in the sixth for the A's on a warm Labor Day in which it was 83 degrees at first pitch. Lefty Felix Doubront (3-1) worked six-plus innings to win consecutive starts. Doolittle was the fourth reliever. Doubront is someone the A's consider a strong candidate for the 201 6 rotation after he "exceeded expectations" according to manager Bob Melvin with his performance during the season's second half initially as a fill-in for an injury-plagued staff.

While the planned Measure J aquatic center at Sonora High School remains in limbo, stalled by a lawsuit which remains in the hands of Tuolumne County Judge James A. Boscoe, the Wildcats boys' and girls' water polo teams are forging ahead with their new seasons that start today at Sonora Sport and Fitness Center. Wildcat head coach Matt Personius, who brought water polo to Sonora High Maggie Beck /Union Democrat nine years ago, and a few years lonColter Bassi (top), swims for the ball. Justus Cotrone (above), ger with younger age club teams, passes. Josie Personius (below), shoots, Friday at practice. and doesn't rely on funding from the school, enters this season looking for their usual spots in postseason, league titles and deep playoff runs. "The boys have as good as chance as any team in the league and the girls are limited by our total number of players, but our goals are still to win (Valley Oak) league titles," Personius said. The girls made it to the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II quarterfinals last season while the boys lost in the first round, but two years ago were in the final four. This season, Personius is real high on the boys' chances and optimistic that the girls can develop into a championship-caliber squad. "This could be one of the stronger boys team we' ve had in the last few years," Personius said. "We' ve got strength at all positions." And when he describes that team, the words big, strong and imposing were used several times, including with returning three-year varsity players Seth Farwell and Colter Bassi and c fellow seniors Pierce Tolbert and Tanner Hagstrom.

Notre Dame loses RB Folston for season SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — No. 11 Notre Dame'sbig victory over Texas came with a big loss. Running back Tarean Folston, who led the Irish in rushing last season, isout for the season after tear-

ing a right knee ligament in Saturday night's 38-3 win over Texas. Coach Brian Kelly said Folston torethe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on his third carry of the game. The injury to the 5-foot-9, 214-pound junior leaves the Irish without an experienced running back. Folston ran for 889 yards on 175 carries a year ago, and was expected to take on aheavier load this season.

Greg Bryant, the second-leading rusher from 2014,left school after being ruled academically ineligible. That leavesformer wide receiver C.J. Prosise and freshman Josh Adams as the top running backs. The 6-0, 220-pound Prosise ran for 98yards on 20 carries against Texas while Adams had five carries for 49 yards, including touchdown runs of 14 and 25 yards. Prosise has impressed Kelly with his running style after catching the ball. On a second-and-11 in the second quarter against the Longhorns, he took a handoff, broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage, spun out of a tackle4 yards later,and carried a Texas tackler 2 more yards before going down. "My experience told me that if a guy naturally, instinctively wants to run inside, you can teach him the other things," Kelly said. Prosise said running inside is a lot different than running as a receiver, RobertWillett/Raleigh News & Observer/MCT although, he said "I just have to get Notre Dame's Tarean Folston (25) scores a touchdown in 2014 against lower with my pads, run lower. It' s North Carolina in South Bend, In. Folston will miss the remainder of the 201 5 season with a tom ACL suffered last week againstTexas. just something I have to focus on." Kelly said Adams was able to get on the field quickly because he' s picked up quickly on pass protec- t i ons. l

"Any time when a freshman can come in and pick up all the protections early on, it's been my feeling thathe'sready to play,provided he's got the skill and also what kind of skill he has," Kelly said. "He's just scratchingthe surface.He's gotelite speed.He's got great size,got good ball skills and obviously he's a kid that we believe in." Overall, the Irish ran the ball 52 times, their most rushing attempts since 63 rushes against Navy in a triple overtime loss in 2007 — a result that ended an NCAA-record winning streak against the Midshipmen at 43 games. Kelly said Folston's injury means the Irish will accelerate the development of Dexter Williams, another freshman who had seven carries for 24 yards late in the game. Kelly added that senior Josh Anderson, a former walk-on awarded a scholarship before the season, could see action. Kelly said he was disappointed for Folston. "He's worked so hard to get where he is. But there's nothing you can do about it," Kelly said. "That's why you try to develop the depth in your program." Notes: Defensive back Avery Sebastian,a transfer from California, broke a bone in his foot and will undergo surgery Monday. Kelly said Sebastianisexpected to be outfour to six weeks.

BIUEFS Hase euthanized, altr hll in DeiMarms DEL MAR (AP) — Jockey Corey Nakatani was thrown &om his mount when it fell in the third race Monday at Del Mar. Tirpitz fell on the stretch turn, tossing Nakatani to

the turf.The3-year-old gelding and the jockey lay on the turf near the rail while the race finished. Track workers rushed to hold up green screens that shielded the horse and jockey fiom the view of fans. Trained by J. Eric Kruljac, Tirpitz was loaded onto an ambulance and later euthanized.

Nakatani was taken to a hospital for e)Iamination of

a shoulder issue, according to his agent Jim Pegram. He was removed &om his three remaining mounts on the finalday ofDelMa r' s summer meet. The 44-year-old jockey has won tham riding titles at the seaside track.

Huskers need to 'put to bed' crushing loss LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Mike Riley wasn't feeling much betterMonday about the stunning way Nebraska lost to BYU in his first game as Cornhuskers coach. In his mind, Riley could replay over and over the 42-yard, end-of-the-game touchdown pass that beat the Cornhuskers 33-28. He could imagine a better resultfor his team if Tanner Mangum hadn' t been allowed to roll out to open space and set up for a strong throw, or if one of his defenders hadn't been in the wrong place while trying to cover BYU receiver Mitch Mathews. But Riley knows dwelling on that single play, and the loss, would be counterproductive with a home game this week against South Alabama serving as a tuneup for next week' s trip to Miami. Riley said he planned to "put that last game to bed a little bit" when he met with his players at practice.

Rockies'Arenado exits with chestcontusion SAN DIEGO (AP)Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado left Monday's game against the San Diego Padres in the eighth inning with a chest contusion. He was to undergo X-rays. Arenado was i njured while diving into the stands attempting to catch a pop fly in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old has 36 home runs, tied for the National League lead with teammate Carlos Gonzalez. The two-time Gold Glove winner is hitting .287 with 106 RBIs this season. Arenado was 1 for 3 with a double and an RBI in the Rockies' 6-4 win over the Padres.

THE UN' DEMO CRAT

MLB Giants bats quiet again, Leake PHOENIX (AP) — Mike Leake still is looking for his first win as a San Francisco Giant. His t ea m m ates didn't give him much help at the plate, either. Phil Gosselin and A.J. Pollock homered off the San Francisco right-hander and the Arizona Diamondbacks opened a three-game series Monday with a 6-1 victory over the Giants, their eighth loss in 10 games. sWe just couldn't do anything offensively," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "We had our chances but we' ve got to get some guys come through and deliver." P atrick C o r bin, wh o missed all last season following Tommy John surgery, threw six scoreless innings for the Diamondbacks, who snapped a four-game losing streak. "He has been throwing well the lastcoupleofstarts," Bochy said. "His stuff is what it was before surgery. " Corbin (5-3) scattered six

times. He just made some mistakes," Bochy said. "This is a park where the ball caries well and the one breaking ball for the threerun homer he just left up a bit." San Francisco fell nine games behind the firstplace Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. The Giants are 1-4 in the games Leake has pitched. "It j ust s t inks," Leake said, "because we are in the hunt and we are not winning when I pitch as much as I like. It is nothing to sulk over. You got to keep competing and hopefully we can pull some out." Gosselin, who also singled and scored, came to Arizona in the trade that sent Bronson Arroyo and 2014 firstround draftpick, 19-year-old right-hander Touki Toussaint, to Atlanta. His oneout homer in the second just cleared the wall next to the 413-foot sign in left center. "He was a tough at-bat the whole day," Leake said.
