Valley Springs bride-to-be Torie Escamilla's wedding dress may have burned up in the Butte Fire but, thanks to the generosity of several local businesses, she still gets a storybook wedding and reception.

Escamilla, 38, works in Angels Camp at the Hospice of Amador and Calaveras Thrift Store. Her co-worker, Anita Hunt, offered to alter Escamilla's wedding dress for her Oct. 10 wedding in Lake Tahoe.

Then the Butte Fire ripped through Calaveras County and burned Hunt's Mountain Ranch home down.

"She comes in last Friday, crying hysteri-

" Escamilla recounted. "I said 'I don't even care, I'm just glad you are OK'" She didn't think much about it at first, given the chaos of the fire and evacuations.

Several thrift store volunteers and staffers' homes burned. But then Escamilla said it started to sink in that her wedding was three weeks away and she needed another dress.

So on Tuesday, thrift shop volunteer Diane Sweeney posted on the "Uncensored Amador Calaveras Fire and Police" group page on Facebook that she was seeking sug-

Dilland starts the interview asking about the boy's interests, family and school.

He said he lived with his dad, who moved him to Valley Springs from Stockton.

He was working to improve his grades, which dropped following a five-day suspension for bringing a knife to school.

"I can't say I didn't have it, because it fell out of my pocket and a teacher saw it," he said.

Dilland later shifted her questioning to the day of the stabbing.

The boy said he made pancakes with blue food coloring for breakfast and then watched a movie,aHow To Eat

Fried Worms."

After the movie, the boy said he was in the bathroom when he heard the sliding glass door on the back of the house slam shut. He said that he at first assumed it was Fowler throwing something, then he heard her screaming.

The boy said he saw someone out of the corner of his eye and chased the person out the back door of the house. He then saw Fowler "lying in the corner" and called his stepmother.

E]jg$ Or a Cal i fornia where dozens of kids die every year from pertussis, better known as whooping cough for the gasping whoop children often make after their deep coughing. And more, like measles, mumps and rubella, to name a few.

This was the threat that faced California afler Gov. Jerry Brown in 2012 attached a one-sentence signing message to a law that aimed to make it tougher for parentstoevade getting theirkidsvaccinated.

Now a proposed referendum being circulated by antivaccination activists threatens to thrust the state back into those Dark Ages-style dangers.

officials to provide a religious exemption on a form allow-

ing parentsto optoutofvaccinations and stillregister them for public or private schools.

Checking the religious belief box allowed parents to claim their deep theological beliefs precluded vaccinations. Many with little religious belief lied when they took the checkoff They either believed the widespread shibboleth that vaccinations are harmful or they were just plain lazy.

Within less than three years, there followed outbreaks of both measles and pertussis. There is no proven link betweenthese bursts ofpreviously inactive diseases to Brown's personal belief box, found a Johns Hopkins University study of a 2010 pertussis epidemic in California.

But the report showed a link between the location of cases and the areas where parents most actively sought previous, harder-to-get, religious exemptions.

Of course, no organized religion then or now, aside &om the Black Muslim Nation of Islam, has opposed vaccination. The great preponderance of vaccination exemptions have come in wealthy coastal counties with virtually no Nation of Islam presence. So parents claiming a religious belief exemption must either have lied or possess a private religion.

All this caused Brown to reverse himself this year and okay a law allowing vaccination exemptions only for medical reasons. This law, effective with the start of the next school year, still doesn't demand all children be vaccinated before kindergarten and seventh grade; parents can home school their kids if they don't want them vaccinated.

The current referendum effort aims to put a measure on the November 2016 ballot and reverse the new law.

Only two modern-era referenda have succeeded: one in 1982 cancelling government approval of a "peripheral canal" project to bring Northern California river water to the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California, and one last year reversing state approvalofan off -reservation Indian casino.

It's telling that religion has barely been mentioned in public meetings around the state pushing the anti-vaxxers' referendum. Most speakers describe the vaccination mandate as a "fundamental human rights issue." As an example, they argued in one San Diego County meeting this summer that "the state wants to get between a parent and a child."

The anti-vaxxers want to be &ee to leave their kids unprotected &om potentially deadly diseases whose viral or bacterial causes are still present in the environ-

ment. They claim, for instance, that the measles-mumpsrubella vaccine is linked to increased autism rates. This myth, originally published in a medical journal, was debunkedlongago and later denounced by the authors of the flawed British study, who admit their research was faulty. But it persists, even getting a full airing on the syndicated talk show of former CBS News anchorwoman Katie Couric, who later apologized for that.

Essentially, parents who want to be &ee to keep their children unvaccinated and at risk for dangerous diseases would deny the &eedom of other children with medical reasonsthat preclude vaccination to attend schools

or enjoy theme parks and other public areas for fear of picking up disease from unvaccinated peers. It's clear the belief of some parents in a discredited theory should not takeprecedence over the freedoms ofotherkids to livewithout fearofpreventable diseases.

But this conflict will never be voiced by anti-vaxxers who formerly could take the religious exemption even when they had no religion.

Which makes it clear responsible Californians should refuse to sign the current referendum petitions when accosted outside supermarkets and big box stores by carriersbeing paid up to$9 foreach signature they gather.

Thomas Elias writesa column about California government and politics that appears i n98 California newspapers.

If anyone was in doubt that presidential politic sisan endurance test,W ednesday's GOP debate surely proved it. For three excruciatingly long hours, the top 11 Republicans fielded questions, some of them inane, from CNN's Jake Tapper and two other questioners who might has well not have been there. If this were a contest on the merits ,severalofthecandidateswould drop out based on their performance. But, alas, politics is not a meritocracy — which won't stop many of us &om rating the field anyway.

The two men leading in the polls, DonaldTrump and Ben Carson, demonstrated that neither is ready to be commander in chief. Trump doesn't know much about anything except making money — with help from tax breaks, bankruptcy laws when things don't work out, and selling himself. Carson is a thoroughly decent man with a wonderful personal story and a brilliant medical career, but his answers,

especially on the war in Afghanistan, suggest he's not ready to assume command.

Of the nine others, Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee should clearly step aside. Paul's isolationism makes him a dangerous choice at this point in history, but his performance in both debates also exposed his slightly weird persona, a combination of testy and wonkish that has little appeal.

Huckabee is a polished TV talker, but he doesn't have a whole lot to say.

Jeb Bush was disappointing for the first two hours of the debate. He was a terrific governor, and a very conservative one, but hedoesn't inspire.He'd make a good president, buthe's a m ediocre candidate.

Nonetheless, the money he's raised will keep him in the race for a long time.

To the Editor: A recent op-ed on Sept. 10 by Betsy McCaughey (guest column) attacks the overwhelming evidence of Man' s increasing contribution t o G lobal Warming. In the article, she uses half-truths, conveniently leaving out some factsto support her position.

President Obama's recent tour of the Exit Glacier in Alaska is one of her targets she thinks supports her position. She states that the Glacier has been shrinking for 200 years, long before industrialization could have contributed to climate change.

She neglects to tell her readers that the glacier while retreating -AND advancing over the decades is true, the reality is that satellite measurements tell us that the glacier is retreatingfaster and faster over the past few years.

She points out that Alaska, according to The Alaska Climate Research Center, reports almost no evidence of warming trends in Alaska since 1977.

HE NION EMOCRAT

In a normal presidential year, the three sitting governors on stage — Chris Christie, John Kasich and Scott Walkerwould be getting more traction. Kasich did well in the first debate but faltered in the second. Walker improved his performance but still couldn't break through. Christie had agood night and showed some ofthe appeal that drew New Jersey's voters to him. All three should stay in the race for now, and, who knows, one of them might make it onto the ticket, though not necessarily in the top spot.

Ted Cruz was, &ankly, a little creepy.

He kept looking into the camera when he talked, which made him seem like a robot, and his voice dripped with a studied sincerity. But, like Bush's, his campaign has a lot of cash, and he has a small but loyal constituency. He's likely to stick around, but, unlike a few of the other second-tier candidates, I don't see him with a spot on the ballot in November 2016.

The two clear debate winners were Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina. Both were in command of the issues and able to field questions in ways both substantive and personal. Judging by the applause in

Republican in the past two. He handled the tough issue of immigration well, speaking about the need to reform legal immigration, which is the key to dealing with illegal immigration. If the questioners had been better informed, they would have challenged some of the ridiculous things Trump and others had to say on the issue, starting with the reality that illegal immigration is down to a 40-year low.

Fiorina was clearly the biggest winner, however. She was an impressive and commanding presence on stage. Fiorina's biggest drawback is that she has never won an election. In a year when being an outsider may be a plus, this may not hurt her in the GOP primaries, but it could prove a big problem come the general election.

Many Americans regret their choice to elect a virtual unknown and inexperienced candidate in 2008 (which doesn' t quite explain why they voted for him again in 2012), although Fiorina has a far more impressive resume than Barack Obama's before becoming president. She' s actually run things and made tough choices inher career,and Obama hadn'twhen he was elected. But the last time Americans elected a president who'd never held office was 1952 — and Dwight D. Eisenhower had just led the Allied forces to victoryagainst the Nazis.

It's still early, but if t hi s were a horserace, I'd put my money on Rubio or Fiorina to place come November 2016.

Marine Corps seeks to keep combat jobs closed to women WASHINGTON (AP) The commandant of the Marine Corps has recommended that women be excluded from competingfor certain frontline combat jobs, U.S. officials said Friday, as the Corps distanced itselffrom the other

military services that are expected to allow women to servein battlefi eld posts.

Officials said Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford submitted his recommendation to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus on Thursday. Mabus has made it clear he opposes the proposal &om and recommended that women be allowed to compete for any Navy or Marine Corps combat jobs.

The developments have raised q u estions a b out whether Mabus can veto the Marine Corps proposal to prohibit women &om serving

in certain infantry and reconnaissance positions. And it puts Dunford, who takes over next week as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the position of defending an exclusion in his own service that the Army, Navy, Air Force and U.S. Special Operations Command have suggested isn' t warranted in theirs.

Officials said Defense Secretary Ash Carter is aware of the dispute and intends to review the Marine plan. The Marine Corps is part of the Navy, so Mabus is secretary of both services.

U.S. officials said they didn' t know the details of Dunford's report, but suggested that the Marine Corps believes that mixed-gender units are not as capable as all-male units.

So they concluded that allowing women to compete would

make the Marine Corps a less efficient fighting machine.

The Marines in the past week have been publicly and privately laying the groundwork for the Corps to maint ain the current r ul e t h at excludes women from infan-

tryand some ground combat jobs.

The debate has triggered a call for Mabus' resignation &om a member of Congress who served in the Marines.

Officials say the Army, Navy and Air Force are expected to allow women to serve in all combat jobs and will not ask Carter for any exceptions. They say that Special Operations Command is also likely to allow women to compete for the most demanding military commando jobs — including the Navy SEALs.

1 m1 AND THE NATION AND WORLD

nioncaimsvicto in a or atte FRESNO (AP) — Organized labor claimed a victory in a decades-long fight with one of the nation's largest &uit growers when a judge ruled that the company interfered with its employees' vote on whether to reject union repre-

sentation.

A decision issued late Thursday sets aside an election held nearly two years ago by workersat Gerawan Farming Inc., which hires thousands of people annually to harvest nectarines, peaches and grapes in California's Central Valley. It says Gerawan used unfair labor practices in its support of a key worker who organized the campaign against the United Farm Workers.

The farmworkers' votes remain locked up and uncounted amid the dispute.

The decision says a Gerawan employee, Silvia Lopez, unlawfully asked for andreceived $20,000 from a fruit growers association aKliated with Gerawan to fund the anti-union fight. It says that on one day, Lopez physically blocked workers &om the farm to col-

Not guilty murder plea reiterated

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco murder suspect atthe center of a national immigration debate is reiterating his not guilty plea.

Juan Francisco LopezSanchez was required to be arraigned again Friday aRer a judge ordered him to stand trial on second-degree murder. Lopez-Sanchez had previously pleaded not guilty soon aRer his July 2 arrest in San Francisco.

Lopez-Sanchez is charged with killing 32-year-old Kate Steinle as she walked with her father on a San Franciscopedestrian pier.LopezSanchez admits to shooting Steinle, but says he found the gun and it accidentally fired when he picked it up.

Lopez-Sanchez has been deported five times and was wanted for a sixth deportation when Steinle was shot and killed.

The German automaker also faces billions of dollars in fines, although exact amounts were not determined.

The cars, all built in the last seven years, include the VW Jetta, Beetle, Golf and Passat models, as well as the Audi A3. The vehicles all contain a device programmed to detect when they are undergoing official emissions testing, the EPA said. The cars only turn on full emissions control systems during that testing. The controls are turned off during normal driving situations, the EPA said, allowing the cars to emit more than the legal limit of pollutants.

The EPA called the company's use of the so-called "defeat device" illegal and a threat to public health.

The EPA called on VW to fix the cars' emissions systems, but said car owners do not need to take any immediate action. The violations do not present a safety hazard and the cars remain legal to drive and sell while Volkswagen comes up with a plan to recall and repair them, the EPA said.

VIEWS

When the Butte Fire began Sept.

9, Wiefels immediately began helping people evacuate their animals and letting the animals stay at her ranch, which is about 17 miles from where the fire is believed to have started.

"At the beginnmg of the fire, we were up doing evacuations in Amador, Calaveritas and Sheep Ranch," she said.

During one of the evacuations, the transmission in Wiefels' pickup died while donkeys and miniature horses were being loaded into her trailer near Sheep Ranch.

Luckily, a passing stranger helped tow the truck and trailer to a flat area where the trailer could be hooked up to another truck and transported to the ranch.

Wiefels had to leave the truck behind, where it was eventually impounded â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not burned.

At the peak of evacuations, a total of 66 animals and eight people were staying at Cowgirl Up Ranch. Evacuated animalsincluded horses,goats, sheep, chickens, cats, turtles, hogs, donkeys and miniature horses.

Six companies, including JNJ Hay, Tractor Supply, Valley Springs Feed, Robinsons Feed, Granite Construction and Lees Feed, donated needed supplies.

Other supplies for both people and animals were donated by 23 individuals.

"All donated items that don't end up being used will be donated back to shelters," she said.

A fundraiser for the ranch will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. Nov. 7 at the La Contenta Golf Course, 1653 Highway 26 in Valley Springs.

Continued from Page Al The ranch sits about five miles outside Valley Springs and has a bunkhouse and a cottage.

Animals of all sorts abound. In addition to the 11 horses that stay on the ranch, there are cows, goats, cats, dogs, emus, pigs, chickens, snakes, rabbits, turtles and guinea pigs.

"The majority of them are all rescued animals that were found wan-

dering around in open areas," Wiefels said.

Her first paid job was training neighborhood dogs.

"I was hooked on animal training for life," she said.

Wiefels became a certified life and empowerment coach 15 years ago.

Horses are authentic and behave exactly as they feel, which plays a large part in the counseling, she said.

"I used to call myself the horse whispererbecause I thought I was better with animals than with people, but peoplesay to me, Marybeth, you're a people whisperer!' " Wiefels said.

The boy said he also called 911.

Dilland a n d Cr a btree then told the boy that their two-week investigation had uncovered no evidence an intruder had been at the house.

When asked if there was any other information he could add, the boy in the video shook his head and quietly Said Ilo.

"Is there something you haven't told anyone else because maybe you think someone would be mad at you?"

Crabtree asked.

"I don't think so," he replied.

The investi gatorsstarted to ask questions about a black Ghostbusters T-shirt found at the house. Dilland said bloodsniflmg dogs used during the investigation had singled the shirt out of a laundry hamper at the house.

While answering questions about the shirt, a door abruptly opened and a woman' s voice called for the boy and said they' re leaving.

Calaveras County District Attorney Barbara Yook then played a video of the second partoftheinterview.

In the second video, the boy was accompanied by his fatherwho began urging him to tell the investigators everything that happened.

Crabtree told the boy there were people in the community who believed he pre-planned the murder.

"I don't remember doing it," the boy said,crying."IguessI did, but I don't know."

Dilland talked about how none of the neighbors they interviewed saw anyone suspicious in the area at the time

of the alleged murder, yet the boy maintained that he had seen someone in the house.

Throughout the remainder oftheinterview,the boy cried and repeatedly responded to questions that he didn't remember what happened.

The boy's father eventually stood up and hugged his son, who buried his head in his shoulder and sobbed.

The second part of the interview concluded aker about 45 minutes.

On May 11,2013, the boy was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

Crabtreealso briefl y testified Friday that investigators had used luminol, a chemical that helps investigators identifytracesofblood,atFowler's Rippon Road home. He said tracesof blood were located where Leila's body was found, in the hallway and in the bathroom near the sink, lightswitch and towels.

Mark Reichel, the boy's defense attorney, said he's filed a motion to suppress statements the boy gave to law enforcement on the grounds that he wasn't read his Miranda rights and he had been "overborne by trained professionals."

The trial is scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. Monday.

She wanted a big wedding, but didn't have the time, energy or budget. The couple has four children who live with them full time and one part time.

Calaveras County jewelry maker Marti Schmidt also attended the fitting and plans to make Escamilla a custom crystal necklace and bracelet for her special day.

So after Escamilla left, "we started plotting against her," Jones said.

Being in the wedding business, Jones says she knows all the local vendors, so she got on the phone and beforelong had an entire reception donated for 80 people.

Lunch Lady Catering in Arnold is donating cupcakes. Kevin Burkling of Mountain Echo Sound is donating DJ services, and the Murphys Hotel

pagne and appetizers. Jones and Romena also donated a matching veil and got another vendor to donate wedding bands, Sweeney said in a Facebook post.

"You always say yes to everything," said Murphys Hotel co-owner Brian Goss, of Murphys. 'We donate lots of stuff. If you give back and do good, good11come back to you."

Escamilla said she has been overwhelmed by the generosity and givingspiritofstrangers.

"It's awesome," she said Thursday before taking a truckload of supplies collected at the thrift shop to Mountain Ranch residents.

The Butte Fire has been so devastating, Sweeney said.

"But alot ofpeople have stepped up. Julia has just been so wonderful. She's such a Godsend," Sweeney said. "This is way beyond anything we ever expected. It is people like these that make this world a better place, but most of all our community a special place to live."

BRIEFING

Great Sierra River Cleanup today The Bureau of Reclamation at New Melones Lake will host the 2015 Great Sierra River Cleanup today from 9 a.m. to noon.

The event will focus on cleaning up trash and debris exposed by the receding waters of New Melones.

On-site registration and check-in will begin at 8 a.m. at the New Melones Lake Visitor Center, 6850 Studhorse Flat Road, Sonora.

Volunteers should dress for the summer heat, bring water, wear a hat, sturdy shoes, sunscreen, and bring work gloves and trash grabbers, if possible.

Gardener says some bright-blooming store plants can do well outdoors, too

Chrysanthemums should be planted in pots to discourage gophers.

The University of California Cooperative Extension invites adults interested in helping others learn about gardening to apply to train as a Master Gardener volunteer. UCCE Master Gardener volunteers learn University-based scientific information and then share that knowledge with the gardening community. Master Gardener membership is open to anyone in Calaveras andTuolumnecounties.

A background check including fingerprinting is required to become a Master Gardener.

An orientation will be held at 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15 at the Tuolumne County Senior Center, 540 Greenley Road, Sonora.

The training classes for new volunteer candidates begin Thursday, Jan. 21, 2016 and continue weekly through April 28, from 3 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. each Thursday. Classes will be held in Sonora.

A fee of$185 will be charged to cover the cost of all class materials, which includes several reference texts. For more information, contact the UC Calaveras Cooperative Extension office at 5335695 or email dlpowellI ucanr.edu. lf interested, fill out the online survey at http: I/cecentralsierra. ucanr.edu/Master Gardeners/Becominga Master Gardener/

Gophers may nibble the roots and clean the stems of leaves as high as they can reach, but the roses continue to bloom and grow. The blossoms may be small, about the size of a ping-pong ball, but the plants can grow to more than 3 feet tall. You can plant a row of them for a living fence. If you bury long stems, they will often root to multiply your crop of flowers.

Gerbera daisies Gerbera daisies are gems. These are the daisy-like flowers used most on TV. The trick to them is that they hate to have wet feet. They do best in the blazing midsummer sun. My best advice is to put them in clay pots. If they droop from dryness, a little water will bring them right back. If they get soggy and droopy, your only hope is to let them dry until you think they' re dead, and then resume sparse watering. The flowers are directional, so having them in pots allows you to rotate the plant for the best view of each blossom.

So, next time you pass the flowers in the market, take advantage of theirreasonable pricesto populate your garden with colorful blooms.

Items from nature can be used for

inexpensive,creative decorations I

redwoods, Japanese maples, myrtle, boxwood and herbs can provide weeks of fresh greenery. Anything with a fragrance may be used in a vase or a large bowl. I love to prune lavender back and use it in a large decorative bowl in guest rooms or bathrooms. Serving platters filled with small pumpkins, colorful glass bulbs and fruit make a wonderful centerpiece.

Now is a great time to use glassware, dishes and heirlooms as part of your holiday cheer. I scout for items that I have tucked away and let the dishlead me to a design.

Clear vases of any size filled with lemons, limes and oranges look very cheery.Battery-operated candles are great forcolored vases and lanterns.

Dried hydrangea fl owers and a spattering of dried rose hips for color will fill any container with a lovely display.

Dried coral bark maple branches will provide rich color and height.

In the Garden Tuolumne CountyUCCooperative Extension MasterGardeners

Julie Silva School is back in session and Halloween decorations are appearing in stores as the summer fades into autumn.

Now is a g r eat t im e t o scout out

natural holiday decorations. The next few months are loaded with opportunities to decorate with material found in your garden. Changing summer to fall flowers, pruning trees, bushes and dried plant material will provide us with free items to work with in our designs. By scouting out material you will build ideas that can cover all the upcoming holidays.

H ere are a few examples that Idiscovered in my yard.

I noticed a large dried branch that has a nice shape in my acacia tree.

This branch is shaped like a small tree — 3 feettall and 4 feet wide.

Pruning it off will give me the bones to many holiday decorations. I will use this as the focal point for my front porch display. Lighted with pumpkins and squash surrounding the base will allow me to use it for Halloween, fall and Thanksgiving. If I add some bulbs, I will have Christmas decorations.

With that large limb as the bones of the scene, I can use small changes for a whole new look. A can of spray paint

Here are some of my favorites: eu-

A simple branch from a garden can be spray painted and decorated in a variety of ways to suit specific holidays.

calyptus, redwoods, myrtle, curly willow, acorns, twisted limbs of any sort, magnolia leaves and seedpods, citrus, pine boughs and cones, colorful leaves, flowers (dried and fresh), holly and pomegranates.

Let your imagination go wild. Natural greenery is abundant and free.

Autumn provides a great opportunity to bring your garden indoors for the holidays.

DEAR ANNIE: My husband and I livein a very desirable area and are happy to have guests often. The problem is, a male friend of mine wants to visit, but my husband doesn't want to have a single man in the house while he's at work. He claims it would make him uncomfortable knowing that I was playing tour guide and sharing wonderfUI memories in his absence with someone he doesn't know well.

My husband is aware that I am not, nor would I ever be attracted to this person. He says he would feel this way regardless of who the guy was.

We reallydon't have trust issues, so this is perplexing and embarrassing to explain to my friend. He can-

You also can ask your husband about having the fiend out of the house during working hours.

Send him to the beach, the museum or the local attraetioas. Otherwise, whether or not to visit under these restrictions is up to your frienII.

One-click medical records can contain errors DEAR DR. ROACH:I was a registered nurse for more than 45 years, and I admit that I am old-school. I specialized in emergency-room and cardiac care.Ialwaysask forcopiesofm yofftce notesand test results for my records, and I see a &ightening trend among physicians. In the past five years, I have seena surgeon,a cardiologist,an orthopedic surgeon and an emergency-room physician. All four of these physicians documented physical findings, such as "abdomen stand nontender,""normal eye,ear,femoral pulses,pedal pulses and reflexes," without ever examining me. The documentation also consists of all eged statements that I never uttered!

Most doctors' offices and hospitals have patient portals online where you can readyour records and testresults, and print them. My insurance company has access to my health records. Any

lem with them falsifying my medical records by entering physical findings for systems they did not examine. — M.M. ANSWER:I, too, am "old-school" and feel that patients deserve the physical exam appropriatefor their situation.

What's more important, documenting physical findings that weren't actually done is fraudulent, and even worse, can leadtoerrorsin yourmedicalcare.

I don't excuse these behaviors in any way, but I do think that they are very easy to make when using electronic medical systems that enable a physi-

These systemsare great for helping with billing, but have significant potential for abuse, with the potential for real medical harm to patients.

To YDUI'

Good Health Keith Roach, M.D.

If you find an error in your medical record (and I do recommend looking at the information via patient portal), then you should bring it up with the physician, who should amend the record to reflect the true medical situation.

DEAR DR. ROACH:I have had elevated liver enzymes for about a year now. Every blood test shows that my ALY is 48 U/L and my ASY is 51 U/L My doctor had me get an ultrasound of my liver, and it looks good. I also had a CT of my pancreas, which looks good.

I am a 62-year-old female with a BMI of 31.5 and a waist circumference of 38. I am 5 feet, 10 inches tall. Could thisbe cancer at its earliest stage?

Cancer is prevalent in my immediate family. Please shed some light on this.

— J.B.S. ANSWER: In most labs, the ALY and ASY (commonly obtained tests of liver function whose levels are increased with many kinds of damage to liver cells) have an upper range of normal for women of about 35, so your degree of elevation is very mild. Your body mass (31) and waist circumference (38 inches) put you into the "overweight" range,

Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 7 — Stay or go?

Travel interferes with routine. Stick to basics. Don't gamble now. Expand your perspective today and tomorrow.

Learn through experience. Keep your wits. Withstand criticism. No emotional spending. Keep written records, with communication glitches predictable.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 6 — Distractions and roadblocks abound. Slow down, especially with spending.

Fun doesn'thave to be expensive.Play cards.

Move your body. Business may interfere with romance.

Keep deadlines first. Get help from a partner. Gain experience and mastery.

Gemini (May 21 June 20): Today is a 7 — Postpone adventurous fantasies. Take your partner to a quiet spot.

Share results and ideas. Resolve practical dilemmas, and discuss exotic destinations later. Study the situation. Pay attention to critics ... there's an element of truth.

Cancer (June 21July&): Today is an 8 — Work goes smoothly today and tomorrow, as long as you keep on track. It's easy to get tempted away from your homework.

Avoid actual cheating. A disagreement would disturb your tranquility. Postpone financial discussions, and limit spending.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 6 — Strengthen your infrastructure. Don't go for a far-out suggestion. Rely on personal experience. Patiently consider other opinions.

New perspectives illuminate unknown options. Get into the flow. See what develops before choosing your direction.

There are many, many other causes.

Alcohol use (even fairly modest), viral hepatitis, many medications, celiac disease, hemochromatosis and alpha-1 antitrypsin deftciency deserve consid-

eration. I can't tell you that it's impossible that you have early cancer, but it' s unlikely.

Todayin history Today is Saturday, September 19, the 262nd day of 2015. There are 103 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On September 19, 1985, the Mexico City area was struck by a devastating earthquake that killed at least 9,500 people.

On this date: ln 1881, the 20th president of the United States, James A. Garfield, died 2"/~ months after being shot by Charles Guiteau; Chester Alan Arthur became president. ln 1915, vaudeville performer W.C. Fields made his movie debut as "Pool Sharks," a one-reel silent comedy, was released. ln 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was arrested in New York and charged with the kidnap-murder of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. ln 1945, Nazi radio propagandist William Joyce, known as "Lord Haw-Haw," was convicted of treason and sentenced to death by a British court. ln 1959, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, visiting Los Angeles, reacted angrily upon being told that, for security reasons, he wouldn' t get to visit Disneyland. ln 1970, the situation comedy "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" debuted on CBS-TV. ln 1989, a Paris-bound DC-10 belonging to French airline UTA was destroyed by a bomb over Niger, killing all 170 people on board. (A French court later convicted six Libyans in absentia for the bombing; Libya agreed in 2004 to pay $170 million in compensation, although it stopped short of acknowledging responsibility.) ln 1995, The New York Times and The Washington Post published the manifesto of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, which proved instrumental in identifying and capturing him.

BRIIIE Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5 — Travel would interfere with work. Take one step toward a goal. You' re good at solving problems. Don't fall for a trick. Make copies of records for yourself. Have a backup plan. Clean up.

Keepthe good stuff .

Libra(Sept.23-OcL 22):Today is a 6 — You're especially full of brilliant ideas. It could feel temporarily overwhelming. Talk about your feelings for freedom. Sit with decisions before announcing. Close files on completed projects. Postpone romance, spending and risk. Consider a recent dream.

Scorpio (OcL 23-Nov. 21): Today is a 7 — Don't lose what you' ve got to get more. Wait for a better time. Avoid provoking jealousies. Scrutinize something nebulous.

There's money coming, but also going. Resist impulsive peer pressure. Don't pour money on a problem.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is an 8 — The action depends on your willpower. Stick to your budget, even if it's tough. Accept coaching. Assert your desires to be the best. Pass on being a party animal. It's not worth the expense or hangover.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 Jan. 19): Today is a 5 — Deadlines are looming, so focus on work. It's okay to be suspicious of something that seems too good to be true. Don't commit money to nebulous promises. Travel and romance flow better later. Stick to the job.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 6 — Work interferes with playtime. Your team comes to your rescue. Pay attention to the emotional undercurrent. Keep it polite and respectful. Run a reality check before agreeing to spend. Misunderstandings kindle out of nowhere.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6 — Choose reality over fantasy. Traditions are nice but may be impractical. Don't be distracted by old fears. Get advice from a spiritual teacher or friend. Sit still, and consider longer.

Write sincere thank-you notes.

South will take three rounds of spades ending in the dummy (to find out how many tricks he is getting from that suit), then run the diamond 10.

Now West, who knows that South still has two hearts left in his hand, should win with his king and shift to the club nine (high to deny an honor), hoping that his partner can win a timely trick and return a heart through South's king into the jaws of West's acequeen.

Woods has 2nd surgery on back (AP) — With his game ailing, Tiger Woods announced he underwent a second microdiscectomy surgery on his back.

"This is certainly disappointing, but I'm a fighter," Woods said.

"I' ve been told I can make a full recovery, and I have no doubt that I will."

Woods made the announcement on his website — www. tigerwoods.corn — and reported the microsurgical procedureintended to relieve pain from a pinched nerve — was performed late Wednesday in Park City, Utah, by neurosurgeon Dr. Charles Rich. Woods pulled out of three events he planned to play this year and isn't expected to return to the tour until January at the earliest.

Dr. Rich, who performed the initial operation in March 2014, called it "a complete success." Woods was discha rged Thursday.

GOLF

It's Day,

everyone, at BMW contest L AKE F OREST, I l l .

(AP) — As Jason Day' s long eagleputt at the last hole rolled down the hill and toward the hole, every revolution of the ball only added to the sense of inevitability.

When it d i sappeared into the cup for an 8-under 63, a PGA Tour record-tying 36-hole score of 18 under and a five-shot lead at the BMW Championship, Day pumped his fist as playing partners Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler broke into widening grins and then applause.

Their expressions said it all about golf's man of the moment: Day is making everything that matters.

"I feel like I should be paying to come watch some of this," said Spieth, tied for fifth at 11 under.

"Itwas special."

Special enough, anyway, that Day's closest pursuers, rookie Daniel Berger and Brendon Todd, shot 64 and 63, respectively, on a rain-softened Conway Farms layout and still couldn't make up any ground. Yet Day's day could have been more special still.

After heavy rain forced a suspension of the opening round, Day returned to Conway Farms early Friday needing to hole a 44yard wedge shot for an eagle that would have given him a 59 and tied another tour record. Instead, he hit

a low pitch that skidded to a stop10feetfrom thehole and narrowly missed and settledfora 61.

"I came in this morning and obviously didn't shoot 59 and felt like everyone was disappointed in me," Day chuckled.

He was kidding, but just barely. Day has won three times — including his first major, the PGA Championship — and is an aggregate 97 under in tournament play since a narrow miss at the British Open in late July.

"I don't know how else to explain the way I' ve been playing. I feel very free,like there' s no stress.

There's obviously stress," Day added amoment later, "but I'm enjoying it."

HUGHSON — Friday night was just a tough night at the officefor the Summerville Bears. Heading into hostile territory, the Bears had the deck stacked against them taking on the undefeated Hughson Huskies of the Trans Valley UsKIEs27 League, and had little room for mistakes. Though the Bears were able to make big plays, too often they pulled a Gregg Allman and shot themselves in the foot and fell to the Huskies 27-13.

"Monday through Thursday we need to pay attention to detail and clean up the little things," Summerville head coach Sean Leveroos said. "Eventually, the little things are what the opponent will be talking about."

Summerville had its most impressive driveoftheseason to starttheballgame.

It looked like the opening possession would stall on a 3-and-out, but senior Travis Rodgers ran a fake punt and picked up 14.

"It all started with Rodgers seeing an opening on our punt and picked up that first down," said senior lineman Kole Elkins. "I told the line that we needed to dig down deep and get a score on that first drive."

Jake Fulkerson added a run of 18 yards, which took the ball to the Hughson 18. Summerville moved the ball down to the Hughson 2, but were looking at a fourth and goal. Offensive coordinator Mike Oliva put the ball in Fulkerson's hands, and the senior powered his way into the end zone for the touchdown. Summerville led 6-0 with 3:52 remaining in the first quarter.

The scoring drive took over eight minutes, and traveled 69 yards. Summerville converted three times on fourth down. ''What breeds energy is execution," Leveroos said. 'When you make plays, energy follows. That was an energetic drive. We had to go for it a few times on fourth, which just shows you that if we are having to do that, we are fighting for every inch we are getting on that drive."

Hughson answered with a scoring drive, which took the game into the second quarter. In the game's first 12 minutes, each team touched the ball once.

Down 7-6 early in the second, Rodgers connected with senior receiver JT McCready for a 62-yard completion which took the ball to the Huskies 8-yard line.

On third and goal, with the ball resting on the Hughson 6, Rodgers found senior

Summerville Bears wide receiver Justin McCready dodges a tackle Friday night in play against the Hughson Huskies at Hughson.

Eli McLaurin by the front-left pile-on, for a touchdown.

But there was a flag on the field and the call went against Summerville which negated the score. The Bears were unable to make it back into the end zone, and the turnover on downs took the momentum away fromthe orange and black.

"There was a PI call on McLaurin that really could have gone either way, but it went against us,n Elkins said.

Summerville had to battle with not only the Huskies, but also the referees and the game dock. Many times, the clock would continue to run on an incomplete pass, a penalty, and even during a timeout. The Summerville coaching staffhad to get the attention of the referees to tell them the clock was running when it shouldn' t.

"That's why I have a lot of coaches," Leveroos said. "Coaches can be tending to their players, and I can deal with the refs."

Hughson (4-0) added one more score, and led 13-6 at the midway point. Summerville had yet to break a long run on the ground,and the Hughson defensive line was making life difficult for the Bears offensive line.

"Our line isn't as big as everyone else, and those guys we played tonight were big and physical," said Senior Chris Caldera.

Sophomore Dawson Robles made the defensive play of the night for the Bears.

With Hughson driving to start the third quarter, Robles stepped in frontofquarterback Walter Ferguson's pass for an interception.

The pick lit up the Bears sideline and it looked like the momentum would swing back to the Bears favor. But, Lady

Luck was not in the Summerville huddle, and the Bears put the ball on the turf for their first turnover of the night.

"It's the little things and those are easy tofi x,"Caldera said.'W e are going to bounce back."

The Bears had no answer to Hughson's power rushing attack, and found themselves down 27-6 in the fourth quarter.

The Bears put together two impressive drives, one which ended in a touchdown.

McLaurin made two spectacular receptions of 25 and 16 yards. Fulkerson, who played the second half at quarterback, also did a good job finding Cole Brewster at tight end. The two connected threetimes for21yards.

Rodgers and Fulkerson combined to throw for 188 yards, one score, and no interceptions.

The Bears scorch their final touchdown on a 7-yard pass from Fulkerson to McCready late in the fourth quarter. Jake Noonan added the extra point for the Bears final point. McCready ended the night with 69 yards receiving and a score.

"Ever since McCready has been a varsity player (three years) the passing game has always gone through him," Brewster said. "Everything we run, it starts with him. He's our energy."

A common saying on the Bears sideline is flush the bad plays and move on.

With homecoming next week, Summerville (2-2) needs to fiush this loss and get ready forMother Lode League play as they host Amador at Thorsted Field. ''We start going back to film study on Monday," Brewster said. 'Vile recuperate as a brotherhood. We heal together, win togetherand losetogether."

BRIEFS Vikings K Walsh tries to overcome misses EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.

— With his coaches growing worried and the misses continuing to pile up, kicker Blair Walsh is trying to rediscover his confidence.

Walsh, who signed a four-year, $13 million extension with the Minnesota Vikings before the season, said the missed field goal attempts have taken a toll mentally. After a rough preseason in which he went 5 of 11 on field goal attempts and missed an extra-point try from the NFL's new longer distance, Walsh missed his first kick of the regular season, a 44-yarder, on Monday at San Francisco.

Europe takes 4-2 over US at Solheim Cup ST. LEON-ROT, Germany — CarlotaCiganda ended a long first day in the Solheim Cup with the best shot — giving Europe another big boost in an already strong opening session.

The Spanish p layer holed out for eagle from 135 yards with a 9-iron on the par-4 17th hole Friday to pull her and English partner Melissa Reid even with Americans Cristie Kerr and Lexi Thompson in the fourball match. Play was suspended because of darkness aRer the shot, with Europe leading the event 4-2.

Kerr an d T h ompson took a 2-up lead with birdies on Nos. 13 and 14, but Reid won the par-5 16th with a birdie and Ciganda tied it with her eagle.

Matheny, Belisle eject+I from game CHICAGO — St. Louis Cardinals reliever Matt Belisle and manager Mike Matheny were e jected from Friday's 8-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs after the right-hander hit Anthony Rizzo with a pitch in the seventh inning With two outs and no

runners on in the seventh inning, Rizzo was hit on his left leg. Rizzo took two steps to the mound and had wordsfor Belisle as plate umpire Dan Bellino ejected both Belisle and Matheny.

Order was quickly restored. Bellino had warned both teams after pinchhitter Matt Holliday was hit on the helmet by a fastball from Cubs starter Dan Haren in the fifth.

Holliday didn't seem fazed after being hit and went to first base but replaced by a pinch-runner Pete Kozma. Holliday was activated from the disabled list on Tuesday after missing 41 games with a right quadriceps injury.

LA Kings grateful to hit the ice EL SEGUNDO — The Los Angeles Kings spent their extra-long summer consumed by troubles that had nothing to do with hockey.

When they finally hit the rinks at t h eir t r ain-

ing complex on Friday for the start of a new season,

thoughts of gratitude and renewal ran through the building.

The Kings missed the playoffs as the defending Stanley Cup champions last spring, ending a remarkable three-year run of tenacious postseason

hockey — and that wasn' t the most disturbing development of their offseason.

The Kings' fresh start doesn't i nclude S l ava Voynov, Jarret Stoll or Mike Richards, three twotime Stanley Cup champions who got into legal trouble in the offseason.

Stoll and Richards were arrested on drug-related accusations, while Voynov plans to head home to Russia after two months in jail and immigration trouble stemming from an ugly episode of spousal abuse.

The Wildcats again grabbed control and put the game away with Canepa's fourth TD with 6:30 left in the game.

"Our emphasis, since we have been a slow starting team, was to come out strong," Craig said. "And we may have done it too well, because we got complacent. After halftime we weren' t moving likewe were and making plays like we were in the first half.

But once we realized it was getting close, the kids stepped up and scored another touchdown and shut the door. It was great effort by our kids tonight."

Rogers made his sixth interception of the season. Gookin, Rosko, Dowler and Bozzo all made sacks. Gookin rushed for 84 yards, Faughnan 59, Rogers 49 and Sammy Page 40.

The Wildcats ended their preseason win three wins in four tries and next week will begin defense of their Mother LodeLeague title.

With the constant sound of traffic from Highway 99 less than a football field away, the Wildcats marched right down the field and took a 7-0 lead on a Canepa 17-yard run 2 minutes into the game.

Canepa scored again four minutes later to make it 14-0.

Ripon's Jacob Duxbury returned a punt 75 yards to cut into the lead, but the Wildcats answered with a long scoring drive capped by Canepa's third TD, a 6-yard plunge.

No. 6 USC hosts Stanford in big new rivalry LOS ANGELES (AP) — A West Coast college football rivalry that rarely sizzled in its first 10 decades has become a hot ticket.

Stanford and Southern Californiasharea private-school pedigree and a record of producing NFL talent, but now they also have a recent history of surprising, thrilling results ever since the Cardinal shocked the Trojans as a 41-point underdog in 2007.

The next chapter kicks off Pac12 play on Saturday night at the Coliseum, where the No. 6 Trojans (2-0) will go for their third straight victory over the Cardinal (1-1).

"Every time we play, it's always fun," USC quarterback Cody Kessler said. "USC-Stanford games have been intense. Great games, great atmospheres. A great way to startoffconference play."

The fun started eight years ago when Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh's team stunned No. 2 USC 24-23. Harbaugh embarrassed Pete Carroll in a 55-21 victory in 2009, prompting Carroll to pose an existential question in the postgame handshake What's your deal?"

The ensuing five meetings have beenone-possession fi nalsdecided by a total of 23 points, including a tripleovertime thriHer in which Andrew Luck beat Matt Barkley in 2011.

Kessler has been accurate in almost every game over the past two seasons, while Hogan's slow start against Northwestern was key to the Cardinal's loss. Stanford doesn't normally blitz extensively, but coach David Shaw knows the Cardinal must harass Kessler to

have a chance.

"If I had my choice, I'd rather have him sacked," Shaw said. "He' s a better athlete than people give him credit for. He throws great on the run, and he throws with ac-

NAS CAR

Harvick to start Chase on pole after quali ing canceled J OLIET, Ill. ( AP) — K e v i n Harvick will begin defense of his Sprint Cup championship from the polein the opening round ofNASCAR's playoffs.

Heavy rain washed out qualifying Friday at Chicagoland Speedway, and NASCAR set the field based on speeds from the only practice session of the day. Knowing that weather was likely going to be an issue, Harvick and his Stewart-Haas Racing team focused on laying down a fast lap that they could fall back on should qualifying indeed be scratched.

It was the right play, and Harvick will lead the field to green Sunday in the first race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

"I'm just most proud of my team for having the fast race car and coming to the track and having a plan, and doing all the things they did to (anticipate) the weath-

er," Harvick said. "They put a lot of emphasis on laying a fast lap down, just like everybody else, to get agood starting position."

It seemed like everyone had that same plan as the top four starting spots went to Chase drivers, and 12 ofthe fastest 15 were title con-

"What the real bummer is, is for The Joe Gibbs Racing cars will Ryan Blaney," Logano said. "That hope that's the case.

Although Kyle Busch will start seventh, his t eammates didn' t have the same success in practice.

Matt Kenseth was 13th fastest, Carl Edwards was 19th and Denny Hamlin was 30th.

It's a far cry from how the four JGR drivers have looked over the last 11 weeks as they cemented themselves as the favorites in the championship race. JGR drivers have won eight of the last 11 races, and Kenseth's win last week put him in a tie with Busch and Jimmie Johnson for the top seed.

But the+I have their hands full on Sunday, particularly Hamlin, who will start far back from the restof the Chase drivers.

The sluggish day of practice came just one day after Harvick insisted he wasn't at all threatened by the JGR group, and he vowed to "pound them into the ground."

His bravado created some laughs throughout the Chase field, as

drivers shrugged Harvick's claim off as his standard gamesmanship.

"He's an instigator," Jeff Gordon said. "I'm not surprised. I saw a few antics yesterday. It's just Kevin's personality. I think he does it in good fun, but he also knows that there are certain individuals out there that, that can affect them

and maybe givehim an edge.And so, he's going to try to get every edge that he can get."

Logano has been on the receiving end of Harvick's verbal jabs before, and said he learned quickly to ignore the driver.

"That is obviously a championship driver and he has been through stuff like that before," Logano said. "The best I know how to deal with things is to speak with your performance and withyour car. I am not the wittiest guy out there, so I decided to just drive the car and shut up. You just block it out and you drive your car."
