THE tJNIX ODEMOOhT

Most Calaveras Coun schools likely to stay close all week The Union Democrat

Tuolumne Talkers, Toastmasters,6:45 a.m .,Papa'sNew Roost, 20049 Highway 108, East Sonora, 5864705.

All schools in Calaveras County will be closed through at least today as the

Mother Lode Fair Board committee meetings, 8 a.m. to 12:30

Butte Fire burns in Calaveras and Ama-

dor counties.

As of Tuesday,the fi re had burned 71,600acres,destroying 294 structures, displacing countless students and staff, while threatening school sites.

The Calaveras County Of5ce of Education held a phone conference with the county superintendents Monday morning to determine the length of the closures.

All schools on the Highway 4 side of the county will be closed through today, with the possibility of opening Thursday or Friday. Schools surrounding San Andreas will be closed through today, but more than likely will remain closed for the rest of the week. The County Of5ce of Education will be open with limited staff, as many have been displaced by the fire, according to an email from Superintendent of Schools Kathy Northington.

The Calaveras Unified School District, with schools in areas of the county hit hard by the fire, will not attempt to resume classes until Monday.

Superintendent Mark Campbell, who has been evacuated since Thursday, said he has no idea how many members of the district have been displaced or lost homes, but the number is "huge."

The district's Railroad Flat, Mokelumne Hill and West Point Elementary schools sit in some of the communities under the earliest mandatory evacuations.

Initial reports indicate no damage to the schools, said Campbell, "but until we can get bodies up there to see what' s functional, we have no idea."

Between ash, debris and smoke, the schools may stay closed for at least two weeks, said Campbell.

Between the three schools, approximately six students lost homes, said

Campbell, who added he is sure the number will grow. Campbell could not estimate how many students were displaced by the fire.

No staff member from the three schools lost a home, but nine to 14 staff were evacuated, said Campbell.

The Bret Harte Union School District, with schools in Angels Camp, is set to resume classes Thursday, said Superintendent Michael Chimente.

The Mark Twain Unified Elementary School District will attempt to open Thursday, dependent on whether Cal Fire and the Calaveras County Sheriff's Of5ce lift the advisory evacuation order for the area.

Mark Twain's Copperopolis Elementary School was used as an evacuation centerFriday through Monday at the request of the county's Office Of Emergency Services.

Superintendent Julia Tidball, district custodial staff and county employees from behavior health staffed the center 24 hours a day.

There is a small kitchen and nearby grocery store, but no shower or TV, said Colman.

"All in all, it's quite comfortable," said Colman.

The Mountain Oaks Charter School has one additional location in Sonora. It was not affected by the fire.

The Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Office on Tuesday sent three marriage, family and child counselors and two school psychologists to evacuation centers to support children displaced by the fire.

The request was initiated by the Calaveras County Office of Education and clearedby Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Margie Bulkin.

The team started at the Calaveras County Fairgrounds with plans to visit centers in either Valley Springs or Jackson later in the day based on number of children there, Bulkin said.

The five counselors will deliver what Bulkin called "psychological first-aid" and "crisis management," but a sepa1s. rate team for long-term support is ready People from as far as the Central should Calaveras schools need and reValley came to donate goods, foods and quest it, Bulkin said. cash, with several volunteering to cook Joining the team Tuesday was Janelle meals and assist evacuees new to the McDonald of the Sierra Outdoor School center, said Tidball. in Sonora.

Feb. 21, 1929 — Sept. 12, 2015

Sept. 27, 1924 —Aug. 31, 2015

ail

Edward David Martlew of Jamestown died Sept. 12, 2015, at Sonora Regional Medical Center. Ed was born in Detroit, Michigan, on Feb. 21, 1929, but was raised in England. In 2001, he moved to Tuolumne County.

Ed served in t h e U .S.

R aymond Hiemstra o f Jamestown, passed away peacefully on August 31, 2015. He was 90 years old.

Ray was born in Oosthem (Friesland), in the Netherlands to Sietse and Maaike Kuipers-Hiemstra on Sep-

tember 27, 1924. He served as a volunteer in the Dutch Army, and was stationed in Indonesiafrom 1946-1948.

After his military service, Ray attended the Tuinbouwschool in F rederiksoord, where he earned a degree in Horticulture.

In his youth, the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands caused him to go into hiding, and for his family to become key supporters of the Dutch underground resistance.

R aymond married h i s wife, Annie Puper, in 1953.

In 1955, they immigrated to the U.S. with their eldest child. They settled in Rock Tavern, New York and had four additional children.

Ray worked as a horticulturist for the City of Newburgh, New York and later, together with his wife Annie, established and operated Ray's Nursery until their retirement. In 1997 they moved across the country to join their children in Sonora where he continued nurturing his love of plants with a hobby greenhouse.

He could always be found "in the greenhouse" growing new varieties of plants and enjoying the benefits of a temperateclimate.

His greatest joy in retirement was spending time with his youngest grandchildren.

Ray is survived by his

wife of 62 years, Annie, as well as his children; Rhea and Bill, Sid and Diane, Marian and Ron, Annette and Rod, Christy and Bert; his grandchildren, Alicia and Renee, Aaron and Tanya, Rebecca and Larissa, Nikki and Aryk, Cheyenne, Jayden, and Lynnea; his great-grandchildren, Emerson, Brenna, and Connor, his sisters Yke and Wies; and many nieces and nephews throughout the United States and the Netherlands.

It was Ray's desire that his earthly remains be scattered amongst the flowers to bloom again each spring.

A memorial service is planned for April 2016, where family and friends will gather t o c e lebrate his life and lay him to rest amongst the flora he held so dear. In l ieu of fl owers donations can be made to Friends and Neighbors Magazine, 171 N W a shington St ¹ H, Sonora, CA 95370.

Death notices Death Notices in The Union Democrat are published free of charge. They include the name,age and hometown of the deceased, the date of death; service information; and memorial contribution information. The deadline is 2 p.m. the day before publication.

Why U.S. should take

more Syrian refugees

@OSRNISNT MS fP

In the months before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Secretary of State Colin Powell sometimes invoked what he referred to as the Pottery Barn Rule: 'You break it, you own it." The obligations of ownership are no w c o ming due, in the form of millions of refugees desperate to escape the strife of the Middie East.

After the end of the Vietnam War, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese left the country, often in rickety boats. Given the United States' role in the conflict, Americans soon came to accept an obligation to admit many of them.

Conservatives thought we had a duty because our withdrawal allowed the Communists to win. Liberals thought we had to step up because we had inflicted so much damage on Vietnam and its people.

In 1975, we took in 125,000 Vietnamese refugees, a number thateventually grew to 750,000.They have

GUEST COLUMN

Today,we don'thave to agree on which president is most responsible for the tide of humanity crashing onto Europe's shores. Maybe you blame George W. Bush for starting a war that brought chaos to Iraq, which spilled into Syria. Maybe you fault Barack Obama for pulling out of Iraq and declining to take out Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

We don't have to agree on which president broke the region. But one or both of them had a hand in the destruction. So we can't very well pretend we have no obligation to the hordes driven from their homes.

This is the biggest refugee crisis since World War II, a humanitarianemergency ofthe highest order,and the U.S. isn't doing enough to ameliorate it.

Some four million Syrians have left their homeland,going to Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan and other neighboring nations. Hundreds of thousands have set sail across the Mediterranean Sea for Europe, and many havenot made it:More than 5,000 migrants have died in the attempt. Others have suffered terrible hardships — which will only get worse with the onset of colder weather.

Some European countries have decided they have no choice but to open their doors. Turkey is now host to 1.9 million Syrians.

Germany is planning to take 800,000 by the end of this year. Sweden has admitted nearly 65,000.

And the United States? About 1,500. On Thursday, the White House announced it would agree to another 10,000 in the coming year. But that's a tiny step toward solving a huge problem that is partly our creation.

The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), a private group, proposes a larger target: 100,000 Syrianrefugees by the end of next year.

That figure would not be out of line with what has been done in the past.

Besides the Vietnamese, we took in more than a million Cubans, including 125,000 in 1980. More than 300,000SovietJews came here after 1988.Today, most Americans hardly remember these influxes,because they had no obvious illeffects.

The Syrian exodus sparks fears of Islamic terrorists making their way here. But people who trek hundreds of miles on foot or cram into rubber rafts for ocean voyages typically have more pressing objectives than militancy. They do it to escape violence

budget surpluses, and Illinois was the home of such iconic mega-employers as Caterpillar, Sears Roebuck and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

The public schools were pretty good back then and a dedicated corps of teachers put kids first — they didn' t walk out on strike, and they didn't have the fat pensions they can get now when retiring at age 55.

Mayor Richard Daley ("the Boss" ) ruled Chicago for decades, and it was "the city that works." Yes, you had to pay off the unions to get things done, but this was a cost of doing business.

Things did get done.

Fast forward to today, and what a sad state of affairs. Last week the state had to sheepishly announce that it doesn' t even havethe money in the bank topay lottery winners. Now jackpot winners are suing the state to get their rightful money.

Perhaps the state will need a second lottery to raise money to pay off the winners from the first lottery.

Chicagoisso broke that its bonds are junk status, and Mayor Rahm Emmanuel had to go hat in hand last week to the state capital, Springfield, for bailout money to pay the bills.

According to Forrest Claypool, the new chief executive for the Chicago school system: "We are really now at a point where further cuts would reach

are going on hunger strikes. But it will take more than divine intervention for the cash inflow to meet expenditures.

Why should residents of other states care about this financial meltdown in Chicago and Illinois? The answer is that Chicago is the canary in the coal mine when it comes to the government pension crisis. Pensions for teachers and stateemployees are bleeding the statedry.A state budget office spokes-

lastbest hope. He has vetoed the state budget and rejected the unions' demands for more taxes. Property taxes and sales taxes (which can reach 10 percent in Cook County) are already nearly the highest in the nation.

The rich whom the unions want to tax have been leaving for Florida, Arizona and Texas. Rauner argues that Illinois already has one of the five worst business environments in the nation.

Worst of all, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that pensions can't be touched because they are contractual obligations. So funding for schools, roads, and public safety get shortchanged so that public employees can

statetax dollars now goes to paying pensions for retired municipal and state employees."

Meanwhile, tax increases on the rich under the previous governor failed to raise much money, but did accelerate an exodus of money and talent out of the state.

A new Illinois Policy Institute study, based on latest IRS data, finds a record number of peoplehave been fleeing Cook County, home to Chicago. "The income of the people who left Cook County in 2012 was $2 billion more than the income of the people who moved into Cook County.... The 2011 and 2012 outmigration will cost the county nearly $30 billion in taxable income over the next decade."

It couldn't get much worse, right?

Wrong. The state has been operating without a new budget for more than two months. Vendors are routinely go-

generous than what p r ivate sector workers/taxpayers receive. This is justice? No wonder residents are going on hunger strikes.

It's a battle royale that pits the union bossesagainst the taxpayers.And it's a fight that Mr. Rauner can't lose. If he does, the exodus from the state will look like the floods of Middle Eastern refugees trying to get to Western Europe.

The shame of all this is that Chicago is a world-class city. It is the capital of the Midwest and by far the most desirable city in the region to live in. It should be, and could be, America's Hong Kong ifit weren't for the labor agreements that are shredding basic government services and making the city unaffordable.

In any event, the U.S. government doesn't simply wave in anyone who applies for asylum. It has a thorough program to screen out criminals, jihadists and other undesirables. Applicants have to prove a crediblefear of persecution or torture back home.

The Democrats who rule the state Legislature and serve their masters, the Illinois teachers unions, passed a $34 billion budget this summer that is $5 billion in the red, flouting the state' s balanced budget requirement.

The U.S. has a lot of experience with refugees. In a normal year, we resettle more than any other country. With the help of churches and other charitable groups, the newcomers generally adapt and integrate into society. Their children grow up Americans.

There is nothing about the Syrians that should deter us from admitting them in far greater numbers than we have so far. Besides, like it or not, we kind of owe them.

The four-year drought, politics and a lack of funding for forest thinning projects have all played a role in contributing to the critical situation, said District 1 Supervisor Sherri Brennan.

"This absolutely is a wake up call," she said. "It's so sad that it had to occur, but the resulthas got to be actual actions on the ground. That means some funding from both state and federal agencies."

At Tuesday's meeting, the board also declared a local state of emergency that's intendedtocallattention tothe growing number of dead or dying trees in the region as a result of drought and bark beetle infestation.

Experts say millions of trees have died across the

southern and central Sierra Nevada in the past year, up &om about 300,000 in 2014.

The increase in dead trees has led to more extreme fire behavior in the affected areas,according totheNational Interagency Fire Center.

The spike in dead or dying trees spread across both public and private lands poses athreat to life,property and criti cal infrastructure, accordingto county officials.

Former District 4 Supervisor Mark Thornton, of Groveland, called for the board to considerwaiving property taxes for landowners who are struggling with the high cost of having dead trees removed from their property.

"Public education gets most of the property taxes," he said. "They' re going to have to be a participant and partner in wanting to cut

their budgets so that money can be freed up and go back to the private landowners who need financial help in order to remove trees."

Though the state of emergency is only intended to help private landowners, District 5 Supervisor Karl Rodefer stressed the need to send a message about the management of public lands as well.

About 77 percent of the land in Tuolumne County is publicly owned, including the Stanislaus National Forest and Yosemite National Park.

"It's worth going on record with the federal agencies that where their lands impact the transportationcorridors and

our homeowners, they have a responsibi lity to take care of those lands," Rodefer said.

On private property near Railroad Flat and Sheep Ranch roads, the crew of Fullerton Fire Engine 3 used hose and hand tools to douse hot spotsnear a structure destroyed by the Butte Fire. Firefighters Kyle Coggins and Louie Arias worked with Capt. Jeff Grant to ensure smoking material in a work area was completely out.

Further up the hill a t S heep Ranch, residents of the tiny town raved Tuesday about the multi-day firefight to save their town. Multiple engine crews remained on scene in and around Sheep Ranch, where smoke rose from smoldering ash and tiny flames licked back and forth in some places.

Bill Stafford said he's lived in Sheep Ranch more than 20 years.

Daniel Ravera said he's been there more than a decade. Conner Tyrrel saidhe's lived there the pastfour to five years.

"I was here for the Old Gulch Fire in '92 and it was bad," Stafford said.

"But not as bad as this."

"Saturday you could see t he flames coming through the trees," Tyrrel said.

"They had 30 dozers right here and they fought hard to stop this fire," Ravera said. "Yesterday and the day before, the tankers circled us. They flatdumped everywhere around us.

Personnel assigned to the Butte Fire on Tuesday included more than 4,400 firefighters and support people, with 516 engines, 82 fire crews, with available resources including eighttanker planes,18 helicopters, 117 bulldozers and 58 water tanker trucks.

Restoring power At the height of the Butte Fire when it burned hottest last week, there were close to 14,000 PG&E c ustomers without p ower, ut i l i t y

spokesman Brian Swanson said.

As of Tuesday evening, there were 4,500 customers without power due tothe wildfire and damage to PG&E equipment, Swanson said.

Nearly all of them were in Calaveras County.

"There are areas we still cannot

safely access," Swanson said. "Safety comes first. There's still unpredictable fire movement, hazardous terrain, and weakened trees that can come down."

There isno timetable to restore power throughoutthe burn. PG&E crewsfrom allover California were working with bucket trucks, backhoes,augers that drillholes for the power poles, and at least one helicopter totransport power poles and

Several areas adjacent to the Emergency Department have been temporarily relocated, and the spaces that were vacated will be remodeled first. Patient care will move into those spaces and the backspace will be remodeled, Jahn explained.

Demolition on the former Andy's hardware store began Aug. 3, and the $20 million cancer center and outpatient

When you're fi ve years away from retirement, it's time to calculate how much you' ll need to live comfortably and how much you can withdraw from your

accounts without running out of money.

On the savings side, one formula is to multiply your last year of preretirement expenses, minus Social Security and any pensions and annuities, by 25. When it' s time to start withdrawals, the standard rule says you can safely take 4 percent of your savings the first year and the same amount each year thereafter, adjusted for inflation.

flect future returns, which are likely to be lower.

To avoid lowering your living standard and tokeep from running out of money, a recent study suggests you'd have to save 33 times preretirement expenses (rather than 25) and drop your initial withdrawalrate to 3 percent or less.

For most people, upping the savings goal dramatically a few years away from retirement probably isn't realistic, says Srinivas Reddy, senior vice president and head of full-service investments for Prudential Retirement. You can, however, postpone retirement or work parttime afteryou leave your career job.

services professional Michelle Dean.

"I have found women tend to not know what to do, or where to start, or how to move their money to make it work for them," she said.

Dean, an agent with New York Life Insurance Company, a worldwide mutual life insurance company, has been in the insurance industry since 2005 and has operated her business in Sonora since 2012.

According to a 2015 Fidelity national study, out of 1,542 women, 92 percent want to learn more about financial planning and investing, but eight in 10 women said they refrain from discussing their finances.

Lack of financial knowledge is one of the leading factors, the study shows, with 60 percent of women worrying about not having enough money to last them through retirement.

"If you compare salaries — women earn less than men do," Dean said. "It's harder for us to be more financially stable when we reach our retirement agethan a man. " Full-time working women earn 78 cents for every dollar men earn, according to whitehouse.gov.

As fed meets, decision on rate hike seems a toss-Up WASHINGTON (AP) Will they or won't they?

Nine years aRer they last raised their benchmark interest rate and aRer months of

feverish speculation, Federal Reserve policymakers this week may finally raise that rate from a recordlow near zero.

Unless they don' t.

Financial markets have been zigzagging with anxiety asinvestors have tried to divine whether the Fed will start phasing out the period of extraordinarily low borrow-

ing rates it launched at a time of crisis in 2008. With the job market now considered essentially recovered from the Great Recession, many economists say it's time to start edging toward normal rates.

Others argue that many other factors — from a sharply slowing China to the tumult in markets to persistently less-than-optimal infiation— raiseserious concerns.

They say the Fed should wait, until later this year or even until 2016.

When the Fed announces its decision Thursday, followed by Chair Janet Yellen's news conference, no one is sure what to expect. Economists appear evenly split on the likelihood of a rate hike.

"It's kind of wild that we still don't know what they aregoing to do so close to the meeting," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial.

Even if the Fed does raise its benchmark short-term

rate, no one expects a sharp or rapid sequence of hikes.

The Fed's vice chair, Stanley Fischer, has suggested that the first hike would be a modest quarter-point increase in its benchmark rate from a range of zero to 0.25 percent to arange of0.25 percent to 0.5 percent.

The anxiety gripping investors stems in part from con-

cern that once the Fed starts raisingits key rate,other rates — for mortgages,car loans, business borrowingwill eventually rise. Some fear the economy might suffer.

Yet the Fed's infiuence on many consumer and business rates is only indirect. In the short run at least, those ratescould continue to stay low, held down by low infla-

tion globally and by a fiow of money into U.S Treasurys.

months to see if China is just a ripple in the global economy or the precursor of a bigger storm," Swonk said.

Likewise, Sung Won Sohn,an economics professor at California State University, Channel Islands, thinks the Fed will delay a hike.

"A quarter-point won't mean much to the U.S. economy, but it could mean significant additional turbulence in emerging markets such as Brazil, Indonesia and India, which are already seeing sizable outfiows of capital," Sohn said.

On the other side of the debate is Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, who thinks the Fed will lift its rate by a quarter-point.

"Given that the economy is strong and rapidly approaching full employment, zero interest rates don't make a whole lot of sense," Zandi said. 'The longer they wait, the more uncertainty and volatility they are creating in financial markets."

One reason for the likely gradual pace of rate hikes is that Fed ofllcials want to

make sure the new machinery they will deploy to control rates will work effectively.

Before the Great Recession, the Fed would controlitsfederal funds ratethe rate banks charge each other for overnight loans — by adjusting how much money the banks held. To lower rates, the Fed would buy Treasurys held by the banks. And the banks would use the money they received to step up lending.

If the Fed wanted to raise shortterm rates, it would sell Treasurys to the banks, thereby reducing the money the banks held and driving loan rates up.

But all the bond buying the Fed did to cut rates left banks swimming in reserves. So the Fed needs other tools to infiuence rates. A key plan is to raise the interest the Fed pays banks on their reserves. The idea would be to set a floor on interest the banks charge their customers: Banks wouldn't be willing to lend at lower rates than they' re receiving from the Fed. This could have the effect of reducing lending.

Yet economists generally say the effects of a series of small rate hikes will be negligible.

David Jones, an economist and Fed historian, thinks a 1 percentage point increase in the Fed's rate would cause the yield on the 10-year Treasury note to rise only to about 3 percent by the end of 2016, from 2.2 percent now.

That would mean only slightly higher m ortgagerates— not enough toderail the housing recovery.

The dollar, which has risen sharply in the pastyear, could also increase further, which could slow exports.

American producers have already suffered a slowdown in exports from the dollar's strength and weakness in overseas markets.

Still, many economists predict little initial reaction to the Fed's first rate hike in nine years. A modest rate has likely already been discounted by investors, they say.

"So long as the Fed doesn't send a signal that it is going to start moving ratesup more aggressively,I don'texpect any big changes in stocks, bonds or currency levels," Zandi said.

Here's another i d ea: Use the 4-percent rule as a starting point but adjust it up or down (or skip the infiation adjustment) depending on how your investments do in any given year.

In a good year, you can give yourself a b o nus, maybe upping the withdrawal to 5 percent. In a bad year, cut back.

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

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

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

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwide ostin .corn, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.¹ 9462-1850. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Annie's Mailbox '~~> of returning to school. But a year has passed, and he hasn't earned a dime.

We recently learned from Lena that

her son has been using drugs and physically assaulting her, saying that she ruined his childhood by sending him overseas. She asked him to consider a rehab facility, but he refuses. Lena now fears for her life. He has attacked her many times asking for money to buy drugs.

She is heartbroken about how her only child has turned out. I keep telling her to callthepolice,butshehasbegged me not to. She doesn't want to destroy his future by sending him to prison.

What should we do? — A READER DEAR READER: If Lena cannot get her drug-addicted, abusive son out of her home and refuses to call

the authorities, she should get out of there before he does permanent harm. Please call your local state domestic violence agency or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (thehotline. org) and ask how you can help.

Also, please encourage Lena to contact Because I Love You (bily.org) or Families Anonymous (familiesanonymous.org), support groups for parents in similar situations.

DEAR ANNE: I am a pastor and recently conducted a funeral at otn' church for a beloved member. In accordance with the family's wishes, a friend of thedeceased was allowed to speak for a few minutes during the service.

Unfortunately, the "&iend" proceeded to tell inappropriate stories. After he' d spoken for quite some time, I asked him to allow others to talk, but he refused to yield. Finally, an angry family member asked him to sit down, but the damage had already been done.

May I offer three cardinal rules for speaking at a funeral?

1. Keepyour remarks brief— less than seven minutes. Write and practice what you' re going to say.

2. This is not a comedy club. Though you maysharea funny story aboutthe deceased, donotsayanythingthatwould humiliate that person or their family.

3. Do not brag about yourself. The service is not about you. —GMs:VING PASTOR DEAR PASTOR: Many folks, when eonkonted with the death of aloved one, say amazingly inappropriate things. Thank you for reminding them to think before speaking.

Uveitis is inflammation of structure in middle eye DEAR DR. ROACK For the past several months, I' ve had problems in my right eye. The eye was bloodshot and painful, and vision was blurry. I was diagnosed with uveitis, and the doctors didn't know why it happened.

I have been treated with prednisolone and Cyclogyl (I eased ojI'the Cyclogyl).

So, uveitis is inflammation of the structures of the middle part of the eye. These include the iris (the colored portion of the eye, which constricts around the pupil), the ciliary body (which controls the shape of the lens and secretes the fluid of the middle of the eye) and the choroid (which contains the blood vessels of the globe of the eye).

Uveitis can occur as a result of infectionfrom bacteria,viruses and par-

Her ex's gambling problem destroyed the marriage. Her son was10 yearsold atthe time ofhis parents' divorce, and he was already unruly, uncontrollable and slacking 06' at school. Immediately after the divorce,the father remarried and does not keep in contact.

Lena decided to send her son to a prestigious school in her home country.

She believed that her family, who lived there, could better take care ofhim and help him do well in school. She had to work overtime every single day to affordthe tuition.He graduated asvaledictorian and went to college in Australia.Again, Lena worked very hard to pay the full tuition.

When he was a junior, her son returned to the U.S. and said he was taking abreak &om college.After several months, hedecidedto"getajob"instead

Uveitis can occur just as a primary eye disease, and there are several

Give the count to help partner

By PHILLIP ALDER John Barrymore, an actor who died in 1942, said, "I would like to find a stew that will give me heartburn immediately, instead of at three o' clock in + the morning."

Did he, or did he stay in a stew over it? For today's deal, though, "three" is the key word. How +A should the defenders card to defeat three notrump?

South starts with six top tricks: four spades, one heart and one club (the suit West will be leading).

Declarer must drive out the diamond ace and hope that the defenders either do not or cannot run clubs (in this case, because there is an unavoidable block-

age).

Also, if South still has two clubs in his hand, West must try to get his partner on lead (presumably with a heart shift) for a club return through South's jack. But if South has only one club left, it will drop under West's ace.

West should hold up his diamond ace until the third round, so that he can see a signal from his partner. Here, East should discard his club two, lowest from a remaining odd number.

This present-count card announces that East started with either two or four clubs. And as he would never discard his last card in partner's long suit, West should assume that East began with four clubs. And if he did, West can cash the club ace to collect South's jack, then run the rest of the suit for down one.

The Raiders also brought back safety Taylor Mays and defensive lineman C.J. Wilson less than two weeks afier they were cut.

Safety Nate Allen was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return and tight end Gabe Holmes was waived Tuesday to make room on the 53-man roster.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.

Still searching for answers and a rhythm on offense, Peyton Manning at l east found his funny bone.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' issues in their opening week loss to New England had nothing to do with technology and everything to do with the most basic kind of communication, the kind where you open your mouth and talk tothe person closest to you.

day's game in Pittsburgh.

But in this one, all they needed was the basics and they are definitely designed for that now.

They will run. They will playdefense.Ifthey do both things well, they will win games.

If they don't ... well, we don' t quite know yet, but we can

guess.

On Monday, it got physical fast, continuously, and almost all the way through this slowpaced late-night game.

The 49ers outgained Minnesota 395-248, averaged 6 yards per play, and bashed out 230 yards on the ground alone.

It also was a little weird: The 49ers had a field goal blocked, saw Jarryd Hayne lose a mufFed punt return and eventually get pulled as the returner, committed too many penalties and generally looked disjointed offensively for much

of the first three quarters.

Kaepernick, who did ofFseason work to tighten his delivery and feel more comfortable in the pocket, looked occasionally very good, occasionally very inaccurate, and oAen just

like he did last season.

But Kaepernick didn't have to be brilliant because Hyde was doing so much so well.

Hyde concluded a brilliant first half by doing a 10-yard spin-o-rama into the left side of the end zone to give the 49ers a 7-0 lead.

That was the play of the game, by the player of the game, and it was everything the 49ers are determined to do and have to do.

It's pretty simple. Nobody has to guess.

The 49ers put it all out there on Monday, in the first game of 2015, and they sure hope there are a lot of games just as physical and simple as this one.
