Outpacing 2013 Rim Fire; 6,400 homes at risk

By GUY McCARTHY and ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

While ash rained down and the sky turned pink in Sonora, and mandatory evacuations expanded south to locations including parts of AngelsCamp and Murphys Grade, people across the Mother Lode wondered Friday how one blaze called Butte could grow faster than the 2013 Rim Fire.

There were no easy answers at ground level in fire-

school policy for flying flags is an issue for veterans."

Rasmussen

A Sonora High School student is fighting for the right to fly a Confederate flag from the pickup he drives to school.

Junior Gavin Watkins, 16, was asked by Principal Ben Howell this week to remove the flag hung from a pole in the back of the truck he parks on North Washington Street in Sonora.

Watkins said Howell asked him Tuesday to remove the flag to protect the truck because other students may tear it out. Watkins arrived back at school Wednesday morning with a flag bolted to the truck's hitch. Campus securityagain asked itbe removed. Both times Watkins refused.

Wednesdayafl ernoon,Watkins moved the car away from the school entrance to South Washington Street after Howell called in his mother, Regina Smith, for a meeting.

According to Smith, Howell said he was "trying to keep the peace."

"I told him I was offended because I know marijuana is illegal and see at least five kids with marijuana leaves on their T-shirts, but why is my son getting harassed for the Confederateflag."

Howell refused to comment on what he said was an "individual student matter."

"A lot of people feel the Confederate battle flag is offensive.

It'sbeen embraced by the KKK," said Superintendent Pat Chabot.

Watkins said he does not see it as a racist symbol.

He taped aprinted letter explaining the flag on his tailgate.

In the letter, Watkins writes about his love for the television show "Dukes of Hazard," which he has watched since he was 4 and features a muscle car with a Confederatefl ag painted across the roof; and his identification as a "complete country boy," explaining the flag as a "country-redneck" symbol.

Chabot said the school re-

Chabot said he was unaware of the policy, but does not believe an American flag should be hung &om a car.

"If it's an American flag, that's a violation of flag etiquette. You' re not supposed to be displaying it on vehicle driving 55 mph down the highway. It should be done with respect," Chabot said.

Sonora High School student Gavin Watkins flies a Confederate flag on the back of his pickup truck. ceived multiple complaints about the flag from the community and students, but because the vehicle was parked on a publicstreet,the school can only "ask him to take it down, not direct him to."

While trying to respect the student's freedom of speech, the distraction caused by the display borders on a violation of California Education Code thatprotects school operations &om disturbances, and could lead to disciplinary measures, said Chabot.

"We' re going to talk policies at the board meeting next Tuesday, and I'm sure that will get brought up. We' re going tolook at our board policies and see what we do," Chabot said.

Students Thursday had mixed opinions about the flag, which Watkins rehung &om his truck in front of campus after school.

Senior Kelsey Evans said the "racist statement" is "disgusting, disrespect ful and offensive," and she knows students who plan to start a petition among students to have it removed.

But, five other s t udents

Refugee crisis worst since World War II

• )ll

The refugee crisis facing Europe is the worst since the end of World War II, and it will not end anytime soon. Some 9 million Syrians have been displaced from their homes by war, including an estimated 4 million who have fled the country. The U.N. estimates that there are now 60 million refugees as the result of conflicts ny is leading the way in welcoming 800,000 Syrian refugees, it is unlikely that any European country will be able to keep up so generous a policy for long. Nationalist, anti-immigrant parties are gaining ground in France, the Netherlands, Austria and elsewhere in Europe. A flood of Muslim refugees from the Middle East and Africa will no doubt fuel a backlashthat adds to these parties'appeal.Itisa dangerous situation that could turn the immediate crisis into a decades-long political upheaval.

Europe has done a poor job of turning immigrants, especially from the Middle East, into Europeans. France, which, like the United States, has at least a nominal assimilationist ethos, has nonetheless failed to integrate its large Muslim population, which now accounts for about 8 percent of the population. England, too, has large populations of unassimilated Muslims, including more than a million who live in enclaves in London, as well as in cities like Birmingham. The British Muslim population has more than doubled in the past 10 years and now comprises 5 percent of the country's total.

Germany's Muslims now account for 6 percent of its population, which will grow another 1 percent with the expected inflow of new refugees.

These numbers are far lower than the U.S. immigrant population — which now stands at 13 percent — butthere are big differences in the experience of immigrants in the U.S. versus Europe.

Despite the claims of anti-immigrant groups in the U.S., America's immigrants quickly assimilate into the social and economic mainstream. There are many reasons for this — not least that virtually all Americans have foreign roots — but we also believe in the importance of assimilating newcomers quickly.

The Germans shouldbe applauded for their generosity in welcoming so many Syrians — but if those Syrians are to become fully integrated, it will take a massive effort and a change in the mindset of German elites and the population as a whole.

The biggest problem will be to help these refugees find jobs. Most Western countries, including the UnitedStates,provide temporary assistance to refugees, including housing, food and cash to help them through the initial stages of resettlement.

Unlike immigrants who are expected to pay their own way — and do so in the U.S. — refugees are by definition people who have to flee quickly without beingable to gather the resources to set up a new life. Most of the Syrians have paid thousands of dollars to human smugglers who got them past borders and into Europe in the first place, and so theserefugees'personal resources are exhausted.

The cost of settling refugees will be substantial, but Germany, at least, seems willing to bear it. The challenge is to wean them off of assistance programs as quicklyas possible — and here the record is much worse in Europe than in the U.S. Unemployment among refugees and immigrants in general in Europe is substantially above what it is for the native-born.

This is not the case in the U.S., where unemployment is low among immigrants. Foreign-born workers in the U.S. had an unemployment rate of only 5.6 percent in 2015. In the European Union, the unemployment rate of the foreign-born was 21.5 percent in 2013 and even higher in countries like Spain and Greece. Jobless young Muslims throughout Europe have been fertile recruiting ground for ISIS, and they are among the perpetrators of domestic terrorism in England, France and Spain President Obama has directed the State Department to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next fiscal year as part of the United States' contingent of 70,000 authorized refugees. It is the right thing to do, but it will only be a Band-Aid on the hemorrhage that is occurring in the Middle East. Only an end to the war can ultimately stem the flow, and Obama has shown no real commitment to enforcing red lines against the murderous Assad regime, nor has he stopped the spread of ISIS in the region.

Thankfully, the American people and our traditions of assimilating newcomers will at least lead to better lives for those Syrians lucky enough to be among the refugees who end up here with jobs, instead of out of work in Europe.

Linda Chavez is an author, columnist and news

analyst. She was a high-ranking official for both the Reagan and G.H.W. Bush administrations.

Throwing stones at a sitting president Wednesday was not just any day in the life of the republic. Up on Capitol Hill, a topsy-turvy scene was going on, with slings and stones thrown at the White House, President Obama and his prized Iranian nuclear deal, reached in concert with other Western democracies.

But this time Obama had done his homework over recess and called friends in Congress to secure their support.

Right now is a landmark time for reason and diplomacy coming to the table, preventinga new war breaking out in the Middle East. The American people' s president knows peace is paramount.

But Republicans in Congress haven' t met a war they didn't love since the Sept. 11 attacks. That day addled them, though neither Iraq — not Iran — had a hand in 9/11. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers w ere Saudi Arabian. They need to face that, like now.

Donald Trump, th e m ai n s t onethrower outside the Capitol, acted like he owned the place. Can't you just see "Trump" in gold letters on democracy's citadel? It's like the Roman Republic becoming the Roman Empire, here and now. He does a mean Caesar. He' ll fire one member of the House, week by week, in the spiffy new Oval.

The 93 degree heat felt like the beating sun on the savannah — just part of the hot air. Trump was roaring on the West Front like the biggest GOP elephant he has become. He insulted Obama's leadership of the international Iranian deal and blasted "incompetent" Democrats in Congress who stand by it. And he lumped Republican leaders under the heading of "very stupid."

Very nice. I guess nobody had heard of the "water's edge" tradition in foreign

the Army's invasion: For what? "There was no WMD," he said, darkly calling up false claims made by President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, regarding Iraq years ago. Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid says his biggest mistake was voting for the Iraq war.

Bush is a sport about staying mum out of office, but Cheney (with brazen daughter Liz) is making a truly outrageous fortune flogging a new screed, "Exceptional," against Obama. That's a shame for national security, diplomacy and presidential history. Or, as the Brits say, it's just not done.

The angry young Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican presidential candidate, was right there with Trump at the rally, which Cruz organized. Their budding"bromance" perfumed the air.

George Washington's "Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation" suddenly seemed so late 18th century.

Yet Washington also knew a timeless truth for now and then: You make peace with your enemies. You don't make peace with your friends.

The Washington Post, which eagerly cheered on the Bush-Cheney wars, also threw a stone at the White House, with an op-ed scolding Obama for staying out of the Syrian tragedy — a direct outcome of those wars.

The song at the Trump-Cruz rally was: "It's the End of the World as We Know It."

jamie Stiehm policy, coined by a leading Republican in the post-war 1940s. Senator Arthur

Vandenberg said partisan politics should stop atthe water's edge.

That meant foreign policy was solely the president's sphere. Let Congress bicker about domestic policy, but the world should see a united front between our two oceans. Remember Richard Nixon in China?

Under the Capitol dome, which is still under scaffolding, lawmakers opened a bitter debate on the Iranian deal.

On the floor, Senator John McCain beat the drum against the deal, a labor of love so elegantly crafted by his longtime colleague, Secretary of State John Kerry, as snow white-haired McCain, who lost against Obama in 2008, slipped in Senatespeak and called Obama "Obama."

That's President Obama to you, sir.

Word went round that Democrats have enough votes to send the deal to Obama's desk, beating back a filibuster.

Sure enough, 42 senators held on Thursday. The House will take more votes next week. It's a closely contested call in the Republican-controlled chambers.

Hope swarmed the halls to thwart Obama's greatest foreign policy goaland after seven years, his lasting legacy.

Many of the deal's opponents were lobbying for American Jewish groups, acting to support Israel, the one ally fiercely against the deal.

Democratic Senator Dick D urbin, spoke softly on the floor, with fury, about

Lovey enjoyed cooking, tending her garden, laughing and,most ofall,dessert.

She was strong in her Catholic faith. She taught catechism for many years, was a Eucharistic minister to the sick, and part of the prayer chain for St. Patrick's Parish.

Lovey and Dick moved from the Bay Area to Sonora 50 years ago, residing in their pride and joy: a house they built themselves, the same house that holds countless memories her family will always treasure.

Maurice retiredto MiWuk Village in 1977 after a unique career as a Foreign Service Officer for the United States Agency for International Development. During his time in Tuolumne County, Maurice was best known for his involvement

Heroin epidemic puts pressure on schools to get overdose antidote PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The heroin epidemic that has been taking the lives of

Although overdose s at school are rare, nurses are i ncreasingly t h i nking o f the drug naloxone as an essential part of their firstaid kits. Administered via syringe or a nasal spray, it works almost immediately to get an overdose patient breathing again, and it does not create a high or have majorsideeffects.

The National Association of School Nurses wants all schools to keep the antidote on hand.

"We' re facing an epidemic," said Beth Mattey, president of the group. "People are dying from drug overdoses, opioid drug overdoses. We need to be able toaddress the emergency."

At least five states this year adopted laws on the use of naloxone in schools, including Rhode Island, which now requires it to be available in all middle, junior high and high schools. Some states allow or encourage schools to buy it. And many schools already have the drug in stock.

Also known by the brand name Narcan, the antidote was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1971. Advocates say it could save a child, parent or school employee who over-

vie im's re a ives mar anniversa wi r i e , a ea s NEW YORK (AP) — During years of going to ground zero every Sept. 11, Tom Acquaviva has seen crowds diminish at the ceremonies commemorating the terror attacks. But his determination to participate hasn' t.

"As long as I'm breathing, Fll be here," Acquaviva, 81, saidashearrived to pay tribute to his late son, Paul.

More than 1,000 victims' relatives, survivors and re-

covery workers marked the 14th anniversary at ground zero with grief, gratitude and appealstokeep the tollfront of mindas years pass."It's a hard day. But it's an important day. I' ll come every year that I can," recovery worker

Robert Matticola said.

But if the private ceremony is smaller than in its earlyyears,the datealsohas become an occasion for the publicto revisit ground zero, where the memorial plaza now opens to everyone on the anniversary.

Around the country, the date was marked with what has become a tradit ion of lowered flags, wreath-laying, bell-tolling and, in New York, reading the names of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the terror strikes at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a fi eld near

Later Friday, the president told troops at Fort Meade in Maryland that he hoped Sept. 11 w o uld i n spire thoughts of what binds the country together, while Vice President Joe Biden praised New Yorkers' resilience in remarks to bikers and police officers taking part in a 9/11 memorial motorcycle ride.

The Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville marked the completion of its $26 million visitor center, which opened to the public Thursday. At the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Ash Carter and other officials joined in remembrances for victims' relatives and Pentagon employees. Other observances

One woman at ground zero collapsedduring theceremony, apparently overcome by grief; bystanders helped her to her feet.

Family members praised first responders, thanked the armed forces and prayed for unity and security. They also sent personal messages to theirlostloved ones.

"You are the reason that I wear this uniform and stand here today,"Air Force Technical Sgt. Sparkle Thompson said of her uncle, Louie Anthony Williams.

In Washington, President were held around the country.

their own ways.

"I don't go to the memorial.

I don't watch it on TV. But I make sure, every year, I observe a moment of silence at

8:46," electrician Jeff Doran said as he stood across the streetfrom the trade center, where the signature, 1,776foot One World Trade Center tower has opened since last Sept. 11.

T he m emorial p l a za opened in 2011 but was closed to the public on the anniversary until last year, when an estimated 20,000 people flocked there to pay respects in t h e e vening.

Moved by the influx, organizers decidedto open it more quickly after the ceremony this year.

Some victims'relatives welcome theopenness afteryears when the site was largely offlimits for construction. "It' s a little more comfortable for peopleto be here," said Alexandria Perez, who lost her aunt, Ana Centeno.

vote due SACRAMENTO (AP) — With California voters likely t o c onsider legalizing r e creational marijuana use next year,

lawmakers were racing to regulate and rein in the state's free-wheeling medical marijuana industry ahead ofa legislative deadline.

The Legislature was expected to vote Friday on a package of bills that would create the first statewide licensing and operating rules for pot growers and retail weed outlets since the state became the first to legalize medical marijuana in 1996.

"After 20 y ears, we have an agreement on a comprehensive regulatory regime and that is historic," said Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Oakland, the lead author of the main Assembly bill.

"We knew it had to be done this year."

Details on the regulatory framework, which seeks to manage medical marijuana from seed to smoke, still were sketchy as Senate and Assembly committeesprepared to take up the package Friday afternoonso itcould get to the floors of the two chambers later in the day beforelawmakers depart for the year.

Joses said he was not sure when he would get power back, but he needs it to pump water.

"We were busy all night last night," Joses said. "Moving things out, putting fire breaks around the house. We had a Caterpillar out here, two water trucks came from Angels Camp, we had our own hoses.

Cal Fire eventually showed up and did some backfir e around the buildings."

It was getting towards sunup when the initial scare was over, Joses said.

"But we' re still concerned becausethe forest is close," Joses said.

He said a neighbor's house burned about 10 a.m..

"But it's a long time coming, too," Joses said. "So much fuel, not just the drought, but a hundred years of mismanagement.Too much fi re suppression. That's what made this ranch. My dad cleared it with fire, and kept it clear with controlled burning on a regular basis."

Cumntsi tuation 'unpremlented' Longmore said the situation building up the Butte Fire is "unprecedented" due to a combination of factors, including extremely dry conditionsfrom consecutiveyears of drought, overgrown forests and thousands of homes un-

der threat.

"Fire hasn't gone through this area in a very long time," Longmore said. 'There's a huge amount of fuel buildup and a huge number of homes tucked up in narrow driveways."

Longmore said another problem is that many homes tucked away in the hilly areas where the fire is burning haven't properly cleared defensible space.

"There's grass and brush right up to the walls on most of these houses," Longmore said. "People have not done theirproper defensible space clearance and I'm a&aid a lot offolksare going tolose their home because of it. Combine that with the hilly terrain, the heat, the smoke and firefighters who are already worn out from months of firefighting, and it creates an unprecedented situation."

Simple tips give wall

displays a designer look During my time spent in the design profession,I' ve routinely observed that many people struggle when it comes to the successfuldisplay of wall decor (a.k.a. artwork).

Frequently, artwork is installed too high on the wall, is too small for the wall size, and when grouping artwork on the same wall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; too much or too little space is left between the objects.

An often touted, but over generalized, rule of thumb when it comes to hanging artwork is to hang it at eye level.

How many peoplein your home are the exact same height? Eye level for one person is not eye level for another.

This is particularly important when it comes to hanging mirrors used for utilitarian or personal grooming purposes. The mirror should be hung at a height to comfortably accommodate all users. If your current mirror is too small to do so, invest in a bigger mire

Marilyn Scheller, of Sonora, sits with one of the many quilts she has made over the past 25 years, about 16 of which will be featured at the Sierra Quilt Guild's annual Quilts and Thread Show.

Sierra Quilt Guild selects featured quilter for annual show

By LYDIA BROWNING

Environment

The Union Democrat

The Sierra Quilt Guild's featuredquilterfor the 26th annual Quilts and Thread Show has more than 100 completed quilts under her belt.

A seamstress all her life, Marilyn Scheller, of Sonora, began making quilts while in her 40s and has made more than 100 over the past 25 years.

She has been a member of the Sierra Quilt Guild since it first formed in 1989 and enjoys the creativity quilt-making brings her.

"The first meeting of the guild was in October of 1989, and I went to the second meeting in November," Marilyn said.

In 1989, Lisa Morales, now president of the Sierra Quilt Guild, was offering quilt-making classes through Columbia College.

"That was when I began collecting fabric. I was in a new world of creativity,and Iwas excited to make quilts for my family," said Marilyn.

"I am areal class-taker on anythingcreative.I've come a long wayand feelIhavelearned so much about the entire process of quilt-making and have gained confidence in my choices of fabric and patterns and style," said Marilyn.

Also a floral designer, Marilyn uses her knowledge of balancing colors, contrasts and textures when quilt-making.

Marilyn has done sewing, embroidering, knitting, crocheting, cross-stitching, smocking, and basically "anything a machine will do," she said.

"My mind is always designing new projects, and I hope there is enough time to make them all!" she said.

Marilyn retired from owning and managing Cascade Mobile Home Park in Sonora in 2005.

"I am soexcited to be the featured quilter this year. It's such an honor from the members and my friends in the creative world," Marilyn said.

"She (Marilyn) makes really wonderful quilts," said Pam Smith, 72, of Twain Harte, a member of the guild since 1993.

Marilyn taught her granddaughter, Morgan Scheller, to make her own quilt when she

Another guideline for hanging artwork (when viewed from a standing position) is to position the center of the pieceat 60 to 66 inches above the floor. While this technique will work for most people, it does not always account for the size of the artwork, the height of the walls or the position of furniture and other decor in the room.

Rather than fixate only on exact measurements, let's instead think like a designer.

Always view artwork in relation to the room's furnishings and architecture.

For example, along one wall in my living room is a deep-mantled fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases positioned below thickly t r immed windows. The mantle and bookcases are accessorizedwith a plethora of family and travel photos, objects of art and various sized books.

To balance thisheavily decorated wall, a single over-sized canvas painting is hung on an adjacent wall.

The canvas is hung with a vertical orientation in juxtapose to the horizontal architecturalorientation of the fireplace wall. The canvas' serene landscape sceneprovides visual relief from the visually demanding fireplace wall.

Balance and proportion

Sailboats on a mountain lake are the subject of one of Marilyn Scheller's many quilts. was 11 years old.

"I enjoyed teaching her, because I saw the thrill of joy she felt through her accomplishment," Marilyn said.

Marilyn has made Morgan special quilts for her high school graduation and her 18th birthday.

"My first project was a 16-block sampler quilt that I made in my first quilting class.

Every square was a different pattern," Marilyn said.

Marilyn has a "nice sized" sewing room in her Sonora home that is completely full of fabric, patterns and books.

Marilyn has made a lot of friends in the guild. "I don' t know everybody's name, but I sure do know their face," she said.

The Sierra Quilt Guild enables members to share inspiration with one another.

Information about new quiltmaking patterns, techniques, shortcuts, shows and shops are all shared with members at the

meetings, Marilyn said.

"It's a friendly group. We socialize and get to appreciate each other's hard-work," Marilyn said.

"I'm happy when I'm quilting.

I love feeling creative," Marilyn said.

"In the future I plan to turn my quilt-making toward smaller piecesthat are more contempo-

rary and artistic," Marilyn said.

She plans to emphasize color in her work by using abstract shapes and embellishments to add character and pizzazz, she said.

About 16 of Marilyn's quilts will be displayed at the show.

A Boutique Preview for the Sierra Quilt Guild's 26th annual Quilts and Threads Show will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds, at 220 Southgate Drive in Sonora.

Members of the guild offer jewelry, scarves, wool-items, See QUILTS / Page B7

A small picture hung on a large wall or over a large piece of furniture looks out of balance. Delegate small pictures to narrow spaces between doorways and windows, or arrange small artwork to create a grouping whose combined size is proportional to the wall or furniture.

The size of artwork should be at least 2/3 the length of the furniture over which it's displayed. Avoid centering artwork between the furniture and the ceiling; move it down closer to the furniture so that it looks anchored. This creates visual weight and tension between the artwork and its surroundings and keeps the artwork fromappearing as though fl oating in space.

Hanging artwork 6 inches to 8 inches above furniture is a g ood starting point, being mindful that the closer you move to the ceiling, the more you' re forcing your vision straight up. Providing 2 inches to 5 inches between pictures with respect to picture size, wall space and furniture is likewise a place to begin. All things considered, be mindful that the focal point remains on the artwork. Hang artwork lower in dining rooms and bedrooms since the viewing angle is lower.

Unifiers When creating a wall grouping, unify the grouping through the use of similar materials, color schemes or subject matter. Using the same style SeeWALLS/Page B7

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

WALLS Continued from Page Bl of pictureframes and mats for all artwork keeps the emphasis on the images. Choosing pieces with similar color schemes allows for greater flexibility with regard to objectdiversity. Different frames can create a busy look, but harmony can be achieved by displaying pictures with the same theme.

Helpful hints • When hanging a grouping of pictures orobjects on the wall, regard the grouping as one large picture and relate the bottom of the entire grouping to the furniture below it. Choose the piece you preferas the focal point, hang it in the center, and then work outward.

• For optimal flexibility, display artwork on picture ledges or shelves. The artwork can be c hanged whenever t h e m o od strikes.

• Get creative and display 3D objects as wall decor. Anything can be art. Just be mindful of clearance space when hanging such objects in narrow passages like hallways and stairwells. Ensure that you have enough room to pass by without bumping into the arrangements.

• When hanging mirrors for decorative purposes, make sure that you' re reflecting something w orth reflecting — not j ust a blank wall.

• If hangingartwork by yourself,make paper templates for each pieceofartand attach to the wall with low-adhesive painter' s tape. This will create a visual aid for seeing how the artwork's size relates to the room and furniture.

IIUICE

Sensitive neighbor is making life unbearable DEAR ANNIE: My husband and I live in a single-story condo that is ad-

Annie's Mailbox

jacent to another condo. We have been

dealing with a horrible neighbor for seven months.

When I moved here three years ago, the neighbor's son was taking care of her condo, since she traveled a great deal for work. Now she has decided to work at home, and she is a tyrant.

She is constantly complaining that she hears our garage door, that our vacuum is too loud and that we run our dishwasher too often. She has harassed us about going up and down our steps to the basement. She has even called the police on us for "door slamming." We don't slam our door, but it does make a normal sound when it closes.

This woman never leaves her home, not even on weekends, so playing a radio is out of the question. I had three contractors look at the walls, and they told her that there are about two inches between our units.

She is really making me miserable. I

shouldbeabletorelaxin my home and do my laundry and cleaning without worrying. The police told me she has "everyright to complain about noise," but they also told her that she should expecttohearsounds coming from our home and the noise is not unreasonable.

I think this woman is crazy, and

she's trying to chase me away. I'm tired of walking on eggshells. What can I do?

— W. DEAR W.: If you are not making excessive noise, you should ignore her.She is obviously very sensitive to sound and should take the necessary steps to insulateher home, such as adding carpeting and wallpaper, and using white-noise machines or sound-

cancelingheadphones. Ifyou are willing, you could put on your kindest, most sincere face and pay her a visit. Say, "Louise, I'm so sorry that our noise levels bother you, but there is nothing we can do about the thin walls. Maybe a white-noise machine would help to drown us out. Or perhaps wear some noisewanceling headphones.

It must be hard to be so sensitive to sound."

DEAR ANNIE: I read the letter from aMother-in-Law from Hell," who thinks her daughters-in-law don' t show her respect because they only call her when they want her to babysit.

I'm the mother of three boys, now men with families of their own. I have three daughters-in-law, some of whom came to our families with children. Here's what I' ve learned: If you put 100 people in a room and ask them to define respect, you will get 100 different answers. Her daughters-in-law may be respecting her by

their definition, just not hers.

As for her complaints about the grandchildren, grandchildren are a gift, whether they are blood-related or gifled through marriage. Every minute we spend with them, whether picking them up from school, taking them to the doctor or just hanging out, is an opportunity to love and encourage them, and let them know they are valued people. Life is too short to miss the chance to make a difference in the life of another person. —GRANDMOTHER AND IN-LAW DEAR GRANDMOTHER: You have the right attitude and a generous heart. Bless you.

Chikungunya not likely cause of chronic diarrhea DEAR DIL ROACH: In January 2014, I was bitten by a mosquito in the Caribbean and came down with the Chikungunya virus, which I still have.

I took naproxen for about three months for the Chikungunya from April to July 2014. In August, I started having chronic diarrhea, which continues to this day.

Ihave approximately three watery diarrhea attacks per day and must go to the bathroom ASAP three to four times over the period of an hour or two, with each attack.

Recently, I went to a gastroenterologist ,whoprescribedprednisone,saying that he felt the Chikungunya had caused my immune system to go into overdrive and that this was what was causing the diarrhea. The prednisone gave no relief.Ihavehad a colonoscopy, with nothing but four polyps showing up there, and I was prescribed and have taken Flagyl, with no relief there either.

I also had a FIT test, which came back negative, showing no blood in my stool.

I would appreciate any advice that you could give me concerning this most disabling situation.— B.W J.

the possibilities of recurrence of diverticulitis for which the surgery was performed? It's nothing I'd care to undergo again if it can be avoided! — C.K ANSWER: Surgery for diverticulitis is generall y reserved for people with multiple recurrences. The sigmoid colon tends to be the portion of the colon with the most diverticula (small pouches in the wall of the colon that may get inflamed or bleed). Surgery usually is curative, with only 15 percentofpeople developing new diverticula and only 2 to 11 percent needing further surgery.

It's not proven, but most authorities believe thatreducing pressureinthecolon with a high-flber diet reduces risk of developing diverticula, either recurrent after surgery or in the flrst place.

12, the 255th day of 2015.

There are 110 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On Sept. 12, 1962, in a speech at Rice University in Houston, President John F. Kennedy reaffirmed his support for the manned space program, declaring: "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

On this date: In 1953, Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier (boo-vee-AY') in Newport, Rhode Island.

In 1986, Joseph Cicippio (sih-SIHP'-ee-oh), the acting comptroller at the American University in Beirut, was kidnapped (he was released in December 1991).

In 1995, the Belarusian military shot down a hydrogen balloon during an international race, killing its two American pilots, John StuartJervis and Alan Fraenckel.

In 2000, Hillary Rodham Clinton became the first first lady to win an election as she claimed victory in the New York Democratic Senate primary, defeating littleknown opponent Dr. Mark McMahon.

This means that South must have five. And it is not a good idea to help declarer establish his long suit. At trick two, East should shift to the spade four. This kills the contract. West takes South's queen with his king and returns the 10 to drive out declarer's ace. South has only eight tricks.

Dodgers' Guerrero injured PHOENIX (AP)Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Alex Guerrero left Friday night's game in the top of the third inning after straining his left calf while running to first base.

Guerrero was brought in to pinch hit with one out in the third, and reached base on an infield single.

But he appeared to slow down as he arrived at the bag.

After being checked by a trainer, he was replaced by Jimmy Rollins.

Jim Wolf, the home plate umpire to start the game, left after two innings. He was struck squarely in the mask by a foul ball off the bat of the Arizona Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed in the bottom of the second. Wolf finished the inning but did not come out to start the third.

Alan Porter moved to home plate from first base, leaving a three-man umpiring crew for the rest of the game.

Their setter Julia Handy is just a sophomore and is one of the best setters in the Central Valley.

"Once we got into the second set we were able to catch up to the speed and were able to dobetterthings both offensively and defensively. It was nice to win that third set and is a tribute to the girls and the fight that they have in

sign pass rusher Smith ALAMEDA (AP) — The Oakland Raiders signed troubled pass rusher Aldon Smith to a contract Friday, five weeks after he was released by San Francisco.

The 49ers cut ties with Smith on Aug. 7, a day after his fifth legal run-in since being drafted by the team in 2011. Smith was arrested in Santa Clara

on charges of drunken driving, hit and run and vandalism. The S a nta Clara District Attorney's office said that Smith was charged Friday with three misdemeanors relating to his latest arrest and will be arraigned on Oct. 6. ''We' re very thorough on what we do and how we do it," coach Jack Del Rio said.

"We feel very confident about the addition and aboutour footballteam going forward."

Smith was not available to talk on Friday but he did deny driving under the influence during a brief interview with a local television station after the arrest last month.

Smith took part in his f irst practice with t h e Raiders in his familiar No. 99 and Del Rio said it was possible he could play in the season opener Sunday against Cincinnati despite not practi cing for the past five weeks.

Del Rio said Smith arrived in good shape and t eammate J u sti n

said he thinks Smith can step in as a situational pass rusher very quickly.

"Obviously if he plays on Sunday he won't have a full package but he' ll have enough," Tuck said. "With a guy like Aldon, the talent that he is, I think he' ll get in there and fit right in."

Tuck has a long relationship with Smith, working out with him in the offseason and sharing the same agent. Tuck has been in contact with Smith since he was cut by the Niners and said he was "itching" to get back on the field.

The Raiders hope the veteran presence of players like Tuck and Charles Woods on will help but know Smith must keep his life in order.

"Aldon is his own man," Woodson said. "Whatever he has to deal with, I'm sure he' ll deal with it accordingly. I'm not a baby sitter and I don't think anyone expects anybody on this team to be a baby sitter. The only thing we expect is he comes in and works hard."

Smith was suspended for the first nine games last season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse and personal-conduct policies. The league says he is currently eligible to play despite his latest arrest.

But the NFL is still looking into that matter.

The49erswish their former player well.

"I'm really happy for him,"49ers defensive coordinator Eric M angini said. 'There's another guy I had a great experience with, loved the way he was working, approaching things."

had thought he earned one last season.

"I guess that was a nodecision," he said. "You know, I enjoy competing. I know a lot of people in that dugout.

Other than that, it's just another game."

Peavy allowed two hits over seven innings, Marion Byrd had three hits and drove in a run and the San Francisco Giants beat the San Diego Padres 9-1 on Friday night.

Matt Duffy had two hits and drove in two runs for the Giants, who have won four of six following a seven-game losing streak. Buster Posey extended his hitting streak to 11 games.

The Giants, who left 10 men on base, picked up ground on the Los Angeles Dodgers forthe first time since Aug. 21. The first-place Dodgers, who lost 12-4 to Arizona, are 7 1-2 games in front in the NL West.

"We know the task at hand," Peavy said. "We' re just trying to to get within striking distance and make this thing interesting."

Justin Upton homered for the Padres, who have lost six of their last eight.

Peavy (6-6) did not walk a batter and struck out two.

"He was good," Padres manager Pat Murphy said.

"Let'sface it,he's a veteran, a former Cy Young Award winner and he pitched his butt off. He made pitches and when we did hit it hard, they caught it."

Andrew Cashner (5-15) gave up five runs and nine hits over 4 2-3 innings. He walked five and struck out seven on his 29th birthday.

Angel Pagan, who robbed Matt Kemp of a home run with an over-the-fence grab in the seventh inning, singled home the tying run in the second and the Giants took the lead for good with two runs in the third on RBI singles from Posey and Byrd.

Duffy's two-run double highlighted a four-run outburst in the seventh.

Bochy's night Giants manager Bruce Bochy visited the mound to talk with his son, Brett Bochy, who happened to be pitching the ninth inning. The younger Bochy had given up a hit and then hit a batter after getting the first two outs.

Kaepernick working toward big season SANTA CLARA (AP) — Months ago in minicamp, Colin Kaepernick expressed the need for him tocarry a largerload given the departure ofso many stars during the offseason from a defensive unit that has long led the San Francisco 49ers.

With the season opener quickly approaching, there's clearly a lot riding on Kaepernick's big right arm, perhaps a new-and-improved arm as he and everybodysurrounding the team hope.

Kaepernick begins his third full year as starter after spending much of his offseason in Arizona working alongside Kurt Warner and receiving guidance from other quarterback gurus, and now he will be under the lights for the opener Monday night against Minnesota eager to prove the extra work made a difference and will lead to better production by an offense that struggled in most phases last year.

"I' ve improved personally, I think this team's improved," Kaepernick said Thursday.'We 're a lotfarther along than where we started. This team has confidence in what we' re doing and our ability to go out and execute."

So far, such strides have only shown up in practice — those zippy passes with a little more pepper, precision in his delivery and decision-making. San Francisco's offense failed to score a touchdown on eight preseason possessions.

"Colin just needs to be Colin," coach Jim Tomsula said. "I don't know if you can meet a more driven person. I don't know if you'l l ever meet a more driv-

en person than Colin Kaepernick."

Kaepernick has been impressive in prime time, going 4-0 playing on Monday night with nine touchdown passes and no interceptions.

Not that he's keeping track.

"I love playing under the lights, since high school.

It just kind of takes you back to the old days of being under the lights," he said. "It's a different vibe than when you' re playing a day game. Everyone likes that feeling."

Kaepernick completed 289 of 478 passes for a career-best3,369 yards and 19 touchdowns last season while throwing 10 interceptions and taking a career-high 52 sacks — second most in the NFL behind the 55 on Jacksonville's Blake Bortles.

Now, he's playing behind a largely new offensive linealready facing its share of scrutiny after the Niners had repeated clock problems last season. He has a fresh target in Torrey Smith, though they only

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick will begin his third full season with the team. connected on one 5-yard completion during the exhibition schedule.

"We' ve hit on a lot more as of late in practice," Smith said. "I' ve been catching them for years, he' s been throwing them for years. We' ve just got to make it happen at the right time, during the game."

In Arizona with Warner, Kaepernick spent one day a week in a classroom setting, and applied those concepts from chalkboard study on the field as he worked on his mental approach.

Kaepernick has regularly been a dual threat with his strong arm and speedy legs, allowing him to break long gains in the open field. He'd like to be that guy again.

"I'm really not worried about what people say about me as a quarterback," he said. "I'm worried about what my teammates think and what my

coaches think about me as a quarterback. That's ultimately who I give that ability to judge to."

Warner said he worked with Kaepernick on becoming more comfortable in the pocket so he sticks withhisprogressions tocompletemore shortpasses.

"You' ve got to be able to make the layups, we say, the ones that you have to be able to read it, and the easy throws," Warner said. "You just can't live in that outside-the-box type world where you' re always trying to create,because these guys arejust too good."

Second-yearVikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewateralsoleaned on Warner foradvice afterhe finished his college career at Louisville.

Warner's message?

"Be yourself," Bridgewater said."His words meant a lottome atthattim e."

Williams had been pushed to the limit before — this was her 12th three-setter in a major this season — but had managed to win titles at the Australian Open on hard courts in January,the French Open on clay courts in June, and Wimbledon on grass courts in July. And she had won five matches on the U.S. Open's hard courts over the past two weeks.

This time, for once, the No. 1-ranked Williams could not pull it out, undone by 40 unforced errors, twice as many as Vinci. That negated the impact of Williams' 16 aces, including one at 126 mph.

"I thought she played the best tennis in her career," Williams said about Vinci. "She played, literally, out of her mind."

Coach Jason Weatherby dedicated the game to Corbin Howard, who is out for the season with an injury, and "all the victims at home who cannot come down and watch us."

The fire was on the minds of the Modesto Christian team as well.

They announced a local assistance effort being put on by a youth footballteam. Water and food of all kinds are being gathered in order to assist those affected by the wildfire.

In the end, the Redskins brought home a win, which started with them back for the kickoff, the ball sailing out of bounds at the Calaveras 30-yard line, drawing a 15-yard

penalty. The Redskins accepted the penalty, but opted for a rekick rather than the ball. The kick that followed was fumbled and recovered by Modesto Christian.

Not only did Modesto Christian fail to capitalize, but Calaveras was able toforce the Crusaders into a long fourth-down situation which they were unable to complete due to the solid coverage of No. 34, JJ Gon-

Modesto Christian converted on a well-thrown ball, and capped off' a long scoring drive with a one-yard run by Antonio Gurrola for a touchdown to put the Crusaders on the scoreboard.

The Redskins found their rhythm on offense. The drive started with a

nice kick return and was highlighted by a successful run game. Even Byrd was racking up the running yards with an 8-yard scramble on a third and long. This drive however was made special by a touchdown throw from Byrd to Shane Torre.

Byrd went back to the run fake and found an open Torre for a 20-yard touchdown. Redskins led 18-6 in the second quarter.

Both teamsfailed to score to end the first half and went into their respective locker rooms with the Redskins leading the Crusaders 18-6.

The biggest play in the two drives was a sack by Cameron Moore for a loss of 17 yards, which ended Modesto Christian's final drive of the half.

The second half turned into the Chris Brown versus the world show.

No. 5 for the Crusaders went unseen

in the first half, but he unleashed against the Calaveras kick return group and defense.

Brown accounted for 182 yards rushing on eight carries with three of those carries going for long touchdowns. Brown broke three runs for over 47 yards and his three touchdowns accountedfor 159ofhisyards on the ground. Combine that with a kick return for over 30 yards that he nearly broke for a touchdown, and it seemed this game may slip away from Calaveras.

Every time Brown gouged the Redskins for a long run, the Redskins went right back to grinding it out. They ran the ball inside and outside repeatedly and had no second thoughts when it came to going for it on short fourth downs.

Altogether, the Redskins ran for 333 yardson 51 carries.Of those, two runs went for touchdowns, both

Giangregorio ran for nearly 200 yards, while Byrd ended the night with four touchdowns and one interception. Those four touchdowns came on a night when he completed 8 of his 13 passes.
