Shifting winds fueled flames that spawned walls of smoke, changing bright, bluebird sunshine to pitch-black darkness, while residents, visitors, law enforcement, utility crews and fire personnel scrambled in vehicles up and down narrow, switchbacking roads including Big Hill Road. The Sierra Outdoor School and Old Oak Youth Ranch were evacuated, while deputies in squad cars, pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles checked on multiple residents who live on the densely forested hillsides. At least one home and two other structures described as outbuildings were destroyed. The fire was reported at 1:23 p.m. near Old Oak Ranch Road and Big Hill Road at Cedar Ridge, according to Cal Fire personnel with the Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit in San Andreas. As of 5:30 p.m. the blaze had consumed about100 acres and itwa s said to be 20 percent contained. Power lines were reported down in some areas. One firefighter was injured while fighting the fire. Details about the extent of the crew member's injury were not released. The cause ofthefire was said to beunder investigation.

A medical marijuana dispensary is being proposed at a commercial complex in Copperopolis. The dispensary, Calaveras Cannabis Collective, would be locatedon the corner of O'Byrnes Ferry Road, Copper Cove Drive and Feather Drive. The collective has filed for an application to rezone the property and for an AdministrativeUse Permit to operate. The Calaveras County Planning Commission will discuss the application during Thursday's meeting. Calaveras County Planning Director Peter Maurer says that the Planning Department recommends that the Planning Commission deny the application. ''Werecommend a denial because they are too close to thelibrary,"Maurer said. "That's one of the things called out in our code that you have to be 1,000 feet away. They' re less than that."

GUEST COLUMN

Parents' labor pains ongoing My 22-year-old son lives at home and still depends on his old man for spending money. My profoundest fear is that like Will Ferrell's character in "Wedding Crashers," he will never leave the nest. I'm not alone. There are some 20 million college grads living at home. A 2014 study reported by CNNMoney found that half of kids who are two years out of college rely on their parents to pay some or all of their bills. It' s the new normal for 20-somethings. Gee, parents sure are getting a great f inancial return o n the $150,000 they' ve shelled out for four years of college. Sure, some of this dependency reflects an entitlement mentality of those millennials whose parents have given them almost everything they' ve ever wanted. But it also reflects how dismal the economy still is today. Today we have college grads — along with working moms and 60-somethings — flipping burgers at Wendy's and stocking the aisles at Walmart. Left-wing groups and union leaders are now demanding "a living wage" for jobs that were never intended to be held by heads of households. Who's against higher wages for American workers? But wasn't this what Obamanomics was supposed to deliver? Seven yearsago, Barack Obama promised a progressive workers paradise — a recovery from recession that would leaveno one behind. Hope and Change would deliver high employment and rising wages. No one bought into this idyllic vision more than college kids. President Obama and his supporters proclaim that he has saved America from the second Great Depression — a message we will hear again over and over in the months ahead. But even his own voters don't believe him anymore now that we' ve just ended the seventh summer of no real recovery. Start with the jobless rate. Yes, unemployment is down to 5.1 percent officially. Raise your hand if you believe that number is even close to accurate. The real unemployment rate — counting labor force departures and workersforced intopart-time jobs — is,according to Obama's Labor Department: 10.5 percent. That number is actually down from more than 15 percent recently, but these still feel like recession rates. Nearly 90 million Americans over the age of 16 are out of the fulltime workforce, and many millions of them are planted in front of the TV, watching "Seinfeld" reruns and livingon food stamps or off their parents because they havegiven up looking for a goodjob. If we had experienced a normal recovery from recession, we'd have roughly 5 million to 6 million more of these Americans working today. With a Reagan-style recovery, more than 8 million additional Americans would be working and collecting a paycheck. The 100 million-plus Americans who are working are feeling a financial crunch, too. Most of them haven't seen a pay raise that keeps pace with inflation for a decade. The Census Bureau has released the latest data on family income, and it has been analyzed by the statisticians at Sentier Research. Through this past June, the median-income family has lost $1,700 in real income since Team Obama took the reins. The sad irony is that the steepest declines in income have been suffered by blacks, Hispanics, single women and, of course, those stay-at-home millennials. Oddly enough, these groups are Obama voters. They also tend to be congregated on the lower rungs of the economic ladder. Imagine the scathing indignation and the cries of racism and sexism if this were the record of an incumbent Republican president, rather than a liberal Democrat. Call it Obama's "war on women." Here's yet another bitter irony of this president's labor policies. Obama obsesses over income inequality — almost as fanatically as he does climate change. But the standard measure of income inequality — the so-called Gini coefficient — shows a wider gap between rich and poor than during the George W. Bush years. Using his own metrics, Obamanomics is a dismal failure. The progressives think that the best way to drive up wages is to smack down businesses as greedy, self-serving and corrupt.But you need an employer before you can have an employee. Sorry, to be anti-business and pro-labor is like being anti-chicken and pro-egg. When Hillary Clinton said this year that "businesses don' t create jobs," she didn't misspeak; she was expressing a profound ignorance of how the private sector hiring machine works. Donald Trump said it well: As a business-

man, "if I have more money, I can hire more workers."

The employment recession didn't start with Obama, but with George W. Bush. Voters are distrustful of both parties and justifiably so. Even the simplest reformslike building pipelines, or cutting the corporate tax rate, or letting banks lend money to businesses and homebuyers,or requiring work for able-bodied welfare recipients — don't get done. But this past week the president was up in the Arctic, lecturing us about climate change. The unemployed probably feel that, if he relishes cold weather so much, he should have stayed there. For all of these reasons, this year, Labor Day should have been renamed Labor Pains Day.

o, t es stemis not ro en If there is anything presidential candidatesagree on this year,it's that our ing to fulfill the desires of the American people. Donald Trump proclaims that "our system is broken." The phrase could be used by almost anyone in the race. "Government in Washington is dysfunctional," says Mike Huckabee. Bernie Sanders believes "the American political system has been totally corrupted." Joe Biden sounded like a candidate the other day when he lamented the "dysfunction in Washington." The premise is that most Americans

want one thing and our leaders in Washington keep giving them something entirely diflerent. Ted Cruz insists his ideas are what most Americans favor. "It' s only in Washington, D.C., that those are consideredradicalor extreme," he says. Sanders says the people "have serious doubts about how much their vote actually matters." If only the politicians would listen to the people and respond to their wishes. If onlydemocracy operated so public preferences become public policy. If only our interests weren't continually shortchanged by operational misfires. Actually, the American government does a good job responding to the desiresof the electorate. Sanders, Cruz and many citizens assume they don't get their way because the system fails. But sometimes they don't get their way because most people don't agree with them. Sometimes they don't get their way because it collides with constitutional principles. Sometimes they get their way, but what they want is contradictory and — what's the word I'm looking for? — dysfunctional.

Chapman Cruz insists the great majority of Americans share the values he upholds: "live within your means, don't bankrupt our kids and grandkids, follow the Constitution." To which I can only say: Ha. Ha. Ha. American politicians don't refuse to live within our means because they are congenital spendthrifts. They do it because the citizens want more things from their government than they are willing to pay for. A 2013 poll by the Pew Research Center asked about various federal outlays and found that nearly every one of them is very popular. "For 18 of 19 programs tested, majorities want either to increase spending or maintain it at current levels," reported Pew. The sole exception was foreign aid — which accounts for about 1 percent of

thefederalbudget. Living within our means suggests we should pay taxes in an amount sufficient to cover all these outlays — something we have not done in a long time. This year, the federal government will spend about $425 billion more than it takes in. We could close the deficit by cutting spending, which most people don't want to do. Or we could close it by raising taxes, which they also oppose. In a Gallup poll this year, only 4 percent of Americans favoredan increase in federal income taxes. The public would rather run large deficits than do what is required to prevent them.

Sanders favors higher tax rates on the rich. When asked whether 90 percent would be too high, his answer was "no." The problem is that this is a minority view. The top rate today is 89.6 percent. A 2012 poll commissioned by the political website The Hill asked people what they thought the top rate should be. It reported that "75percent said therightlevelfor top earners was 30 percent or below." The rich get off easy? Blame the non-rich. The people, granted, don't always get the last word. Cruz thinks something is wrong when the Supreme Court can make same-sex marriage legal every-

where. Sanders thinks something is wrong when the Supreme Court can empower the Koch brothers to squander millions on elections. But deciding how to interpret the Constitution has been the responsibility of the Supreme Court for more than 200 years. If the justices rule against your side, that doesn't mean the system is broken or that democracy has been violated. The Constitution was meant to put some

issues beyond the reach of majorities. The justices, keep in mind, are appointed by elected presidents and confirmed by elected senators. Even at the Supreme Court, the will of the people plays a major role over time. The candidates would like voters to think that anytime things don't go as they want, it's because someone or something failed the voters. That's usually not the case. In a constitutional democracy, everyone sometimes is fated to lose. Being a

sore loser? That's optional. Steve Chapman isa columnist and editorial writerfor The ChicagoTribune.

GRAYSON, Ky. (AP) — The Kentucky county clerk jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples was released Tuesday after five days behind bars, emerging to a tumultuous hero' s welcome &om thousands of supporters waving large white crosses. "I just want to give God the glory. His people have rallied, and you are a strong people," Kim Davis told the crowd after stepping outside, her arms raised like a victorious boxer, to the blaring "Rocky"sequel theme song "Eye of the Tiger." Her lawyer refused to say whether she would defy the courts again. "Kim cannot and will not violate her conscience, "said Mat Staver,founder of the Liberty Counsel, the Christian law firm representing Davis. As for whether she will issue licenses, Staver said only: 'You' ll find out in the near future."

W ASHINGTON — H i l ary Rodham Clinton apologized Tuesday for her use of a private email account after declining since last week to express remorse for the State Department a r r angement that has shaken her presidential campaign. Asked about setting up the private email account by ABC News, Clinton said: That was a mistake. I'm sorry about that. I take responsibility, and I'm trying to be as transpar-

ent as I possibly can." The Democratic presidential candidate declined to apologizefor using a private email system when asked directly by NBC News on Friday, saying she was "sorry that this has been confusing to people." In an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, she said an apology wasn't necessary because what she did was "allowed" by the State Department.

LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II has reached a major milestone by becoming the longest-reigning monarch in Britain's history. She passes Queen Victoria, her greatgreat-grandmother, who was on the throne for 63 years and 7 months. Prime M i nister D a vid Cameron said Wednesday that millions on B r i tons would celebrate the queen' s "historic moment." "Over the last63 years, Her Majesty has been a rock of stability in a world of constant change and her selfless sense of service and duty has earned admiration not only in Britain, but right across the globe," Cameron said.

Cries of thanks to Jesus echoed through the crowd as Davis emerged next to Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and her husband,

Davis was locked up on Thursday for the boldest act of resistance by a public official yet to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June that efFectively legalized same-sex marriage across the nation. Citing "God's authority" and her belief that gay marriage is a sin, Davis, an Apostolic Christian, stopped issuing all marriage licenses. Two gay couples and two heterosexual ones sued her. Bunning ordered Davis to issue the licenses, and the Supreme Court backed him. But she still refused

"Farther north up by Yosemite we' re seeing impacts, moderate and periods of time when it's unhealthy for sensitive groups," Hall said Tuesday. "A useful tool is visibility. If you can see landmarks from five miles away that' s a good sign. But if visibility is less than normal from five miles or less, that's a

Drifting smoke Hall andTod Johnson, a fire management specialist with the park service, are using particulate monitors to measure fine-particle pollution in the

Smoke from the Rough Fire,which is visible from space, has been drifbng east over the Sierra Nevada range into Owens Valley, as well as north into Yosemite and the Mother Lode. On Monday, a wide, high-altitude plume of smoke drifted over much of Owens Valley from Lone Pine to Bishop, obscuring the sun and the highest mountain peaks in the contiguous U.S., including Mount Whitney. More smoke andhaze was evident from Mono Lake to Tioga Pass, Tuolumne Meadows and Olmsted Point. Most of the smoke drifting through Yosemite this week is from the Rough Fire, says Gary Wuchner, the park's fire information officer, who just returned from three weeks on the Rough Fire. "The Rough Fire has grown about 10,000acres in the past few days and depending on wind directions, people can expect more smoke from the Rough Fire this week and likely next week as hot temperatures return," Wuchner saidTuesday, speaking by phone from Wawona.

Jim B r i scoe, p r oject manager for the tribe's Tuolumne Economic Development Authority, said he was pleased at how the event was handled by the festival's security and staff. "I' ve never seen this many peoplein Tuolumne, and I' ve lived here my whole life," he said. "They did a great job of handling it." Briscoe said he lives about a half-mile from the grounds and never thought the noise from the music was intrusive. He also didn't see any major traffic issues when people began arriving at the festival Thursday morning. Still depending on the response from the county and tribe, Briscoe said he would be willing to welcome the festival back based on what he's seen so far. "I think I would be a proponent of doing it again," he said. "We could definitely change a few things here on the property,but that's always a learning curve." Adam Egger, manager of the Tuolumne Market at 18352 Tuolumne Road, said the grocery store saw a slight increase in business thanks to the festival, though there were a number of vendors serving food and drinks at the event.

now — we' re just seeing a slight appreciation in price," she said. "It's holding up very well I think." Burby said there is a slight appreciation in the price in comparison to last year, with homes priced between $200,000 and $250,000 appearing to sell faster. Burby added there are multiple factors that play into the housing market including the economy, and whether the feds will raise interest rates. According to the 2014 U.S. Census, 53,831 people lived in Tuolumne County, with 70 percent owning their homes. In 2013, there were 31,238 housing units, and the median household income was $48,426.

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 hOuniondemocrat.corn

I found more information, including about support groups, at www.aphasia.org DR. ROACH WRITES: A recent column onapparent TMJ pain generated many letters. One periodontist wrote me that his TMJ had been misdiagnosed, and he found relief when operated on for trigeminal neuralgia. Other conditions masquerading as TMJ that readers wrote to me about included migraine, blocked Eustachian tubes, food allergies and an essential part of your treatment Eagle syndrome (compression of a team) and in some cases through cranial nerve). A TMJ specialist, Dr.

CarolCunningham, wrote: "I instruct patients to sleep on the edge of the pillow, and to make sure that the pillow ends even with their ear. They should have nothing touching (nopressure)on theirfacepastthe point of their ear. The facial muscles want to be neutral and relaxed during sleep. If pressure is exerted on the muscles by a pillow, hand or arm, then the muscle will try to get back to a neutral position. Most often this is done by clenching and grinding. Pressure can be exerted on the muscles and joint, and this results in pain. We see a lot of [TMJ] problems in people who are stomachsleepers,as this results in the jaw being torqued throughout the night from lateral pressure on the face. I also tell patients to be aware of what they are doing with their teeth during the day. The only time teeth should touch is when you eat (and very briefly during certain words). During all other times, lips may be together, but teeth should not touch. (Men, we will fabricate splints to relieve pain in the TMJ and muscles of mastication. ARer splint fabrication,

We hope Kate is keeping a written record of these accusations and rumors. If necessary,she should take her ex to court. This could affect his visitation rights and those of his parents.

Rare condition, PPA, affects language and speech DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 84-year-old man diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia. The neurologist says that nothing can be done for it. What can you tell me about it? — J.M.M. ANSWER: Primary progressive aphasia is, as its name states, a progressive inability to use words and language. It is not related to other neurological diseases. It is a rare disease,at least compared with Alzheimer's disease. The condition may begin as early as a person's 40s, and is causedby degeneration in nerve cells. In about 30 percent of people, PPA is caused by the same processas Alzheimer's disease, but in the common form of Alzheimer' s, there are many neurologic problems besideslanguage. While there is not a s pecific treatment for PPA, there certainly are ways to improve function and quality of life. The most important thing is to improve ability to communicate, using speech therapy (a speech and language pathologist is

Parent more comfortable with cheek kisses DEARANNIE: I see many parents teach their children, from a young age, to kiss on the lips. Do you feel this is correct? For some reason, I am uncomfortable with this. I was raised in a family where you always kissed on the cheek, whether it was your brother, sister or parents. I would be interested in what your readers have to say.— MAINE DEAR MAIM !:: This is not an issue of "correct." It is about family custom. As long as there is nothing salacious about the kissing, it is perfectly OK to kiss family members on the lips if this is how you have been raised. Those who were brought up to kiss on the cheeks would naturally find it awkward, andyou certainly don't have to do it. DEAR ANNIE: Our oldest son married the most wonderful woman.

Today in history Today is Wednesday, Sept. 9, the 252nd day of 2015. There are 113 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Sept. 9, 1965, Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitched a perfect game against the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium. Final score: 1-0. On this date: In 1893, Frances Cleveland, wife of President Grover Cleveland, gave birth to a daughter, Esther, in the White House; it was the first (and, to date, only) time a president's child was born in the executive mansion. In 1919, some 1,100 members of Boston's 1,500man police force went on strike. (The strike was broken by Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge with replacement officers.) In 1926, the National Broadcasting Co (NBC) was incorporated by the Radio Corp. of America. In 1948, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) was declared. In 1956, Elvis Presley made the first of three appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show." In 1971, prisoners seized control of the maximumsecurity Attica Correctional Facility near Buffalo, New York, beginning a siege that ended up claiming 43 lives. In 1976, Communist Chinese leader Mao Zedong died in Beijing at age 82. In 1986, Frank Reed, director of a private school in Lebanon, was taken hostage; he was released 44 months later. In 1997, Sinn Fein (shin fayn), the IRA's political ally, formally renounced violence as it took its place in talks on Northern Ireland's future. Actor Burgess Meredith died in Malibu, California, at age 89.

He played a club to the dummy and called for the heart jack, trying to look like someone about to finesse East for the queen. If a sleepy East had thought that,he would have played second hand low and the contractwould have made. But an awake East had applied the Rule of Eleven at trick one. Six from 11 is five. So there were five spades higher than the six in the North, East and South hands combined, and East had seen them all at trick one. So, West's spades were ready to run. East grabbed the third trick and returned his spade jack to defeat the contract.

Gray spoils Kazmir's return OAKLAND (AP)The Houston Astros realize they can hardly affordmany more September slip-ups as they try to hold a slim division lead. Their advantage in the ALWest is down to one game after Texas won at Seattle. Sonny Gray outpitched close friend Scott Kazmir, and the Athletics spoiled the former Oakland lefty's return to the Coliseum mound with a 4-0 win over the Astros on Tuesday night. Mark Canha hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning after Billy Burns' earlier solo shot to back Gray (13-7). The All-Star right-hander ended a four-start winless stretch and got the best of mentor Kazmir, traded by the A's to his hometown Astros on July 23. Kazmir had been back to the Bay Area with Houston but didn' t pitch against his old team during that trip in early August. He faced A's for the first time since Aug. 18, 2013, with the Indians. Gray allowed five hits, struck out four and walked two in seven innings. He ended a threegame losing streak with his first victory since beating Houston on Aug. 7. Kazmir (7-10) lost his second consecutive decision. He was tagged for four runs and seven hits in six innings.

NEWYORK (AP)The NBA will now seed playoff teams solely by their record, throwing out the top-four protection for teams who win their divisions. The expected change was unanimously approvedTuesday by the league's Board of Governors. Teams in each conference will be seeded from one to eight by their won-loss record. Previously, division winners were guaranteed no worse than the No. 4 seed, a rule that became heavily criticized last season when Portland ended up No. 4 in the powerful Western Conference despite the sixth-best record in the conference. The league also changed the tiebreaker procedures, making head-to-head results the first tiebreaker for seeding and home-court advantage, and whether a team won its division second. A division winner previously got the home-court advantage if it met a team with the same record in the playoffs.

We were a little iffy here and there, but we ended up pulling out and being consistent which got us the win." Bret Hartewas led early by its sophomore sensation Katie Juarez. She sprinkled a perfect combination of strong and soft spikes which helped the 'Frogs jump out to an early lead. Juarez showed Mariposa that she is a deadly hitter who never seems to run out of ammunition.

"Katie brings an energy that is unlike any other player, especially being so young," said senior Adri D a vies. "She's so good and so helpful because when we get down, she's the one that is picking us up. With the score 24-19 in the firstset, Juarez tallied the final point with an emphatic kill. "Katie is a huge threat for us," Porovich said. "She' s constant all the way around and she's got a ton of game knowledge. She's able t o see the court, see the other teams block and what they are doing and really just pick them apart. She's really our go-to in clutch times." Up 1-0 in the second set, Bret Harte showed its fun side. The Bullfrogs used chants, handshakes, and looked like t hey enjoyed playing together. The jovial feel was captured by the student section, which helped fuel the Bret Harte fire. " Keeping t h ings l i g ht keeps us energetic and keeps us going in the game," said Juarez. "It takes our mind off the game just a little bit to where we are not focusing on a bad pass or serve. It keeps us loose." Mariposa did not let the first set bring it down and built a 20-12 lead in the second. But the 'Frogs battled back and narrowed the gap to 23-21, but could not catch the Grizzlies and fell 25-22.

Well-known folks such as Donald Trump — who was booed when shown on video screens — Oprah Winfrey and Kim Kardashian dotted the teeming stands in Arthur Ashe Stadium, and the sellout crowd of 23,771 got its money's worth. 'They both played their best," said Serena's coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. "If they were feeling uncomfortable with playing each other, they could not play at that level." The sisters combined for 57 winners (Serena had more, 35) and only 37 unforced errors (Venus had fewer, 15). How close was it? Serena won 76 points, Venus 75. Both pounded serves fast, very fast, each topping 120 mph. Both returned well, oh so well, each managing to put intoplay atleastone serveat more than 115 mph by the other. Venus often attempted to end baseline exchanges quickly. Serena showed tremendous touch by using drop shots, one paired with a backhand passing winner, another with a perfectl y curled lob.

Panik followed with a runscoring single and Matt DufFy had an RBI single, which were enough for Hale. He immediately called to the bullpen instead of going out to talk to Anderson. Brandon Belt added arun-scoring double to put the Giants up 5-0. Andersonallowed fi ve runs and five hits in two-plus innings.

"I look back and it kind of happened really fast," Anderson said. "I left the ball up with some pitc hes,didn'thitspots."
