A rare supermoon lunar eclipse will be visible in the Mother Lode about 7 p.m.

Sunday. That is if the clouds forecast by the National WeatherService stay away.

AccuWeather said the moon will be in its closest proximity to earth, so it will appear up to 14 percent larger.

"The moon will also pass b ehind the earth into it s shadow, resulting in a red tint across its surface," AccuWeather reported.

An eclipse will begin forming shadows about 5 p.m., but the supermoon lunar eclipse will peak at 7:47 p.m., according to a NASA report.

"The red portion of sunlight is what makes it through our atmosphere to the other side,bent toward theeclipsed moon, so that even though the moon is within earth' s shadow, the red portion of the sun's light can give the moon

Sen. Berryhill calls for action on dying trees

Eagles soar in jog-a-thon

By ALEX MaeLEAN

Staff ta meet with residents

The Union Democrat

State Sen. Tom Berryhill is calling for Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of emergency due to the threat posed by the increasing number of dead or dying

State Sen. Tom Berryhill, R-Twain Harte, and Congressman Tom McClintock, R-Roseville, will have staff available in Sonora on Oct. 6 to meet with constituents and hear their opinions on legislation or issues with state and federal agencies.

The mobile district office hours will be held from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Central Sierra Economic Development District, 99 N. Washington St. For more information, contact Bob Phelan in Berryhill's Oakdale district office at 848-8001 or bob.phelan tN sen. ca.gov.

trees in rural areas.

Berryhill, a Republican from Twain Harte who represents several foothill counties including Tuolumne and Calaveras, wrote a letter to Brown this week formally requesting the recognition of a statewide tree mortality disaster to expedite funding and support neededtoquickly remove dead and dying trees.

"Unprecedented drought has left our forests not only at high risk of catastrophic wildfires, but also particularly susceptibleto insect and disease infestation, like the bark beetle, leaving the forests and communities impacted even more vulnerable to wildfire," Berryhill stated in his letter.

The Tuolumne CountyBoard ofSupervisors declared a localstate ofem ergency at a meeting on Sept. 15. Supervisors in Mariposa, Madera and Fresno countieshave approved similar resolutions as well.

According to Predictive Services, an arm of the National Interagency Coordination Center, the number of dead trees in the southern and central Sierra foothills has increased &om about 300,000 in 2014 to more than 5 million this year.

Types of trees particularly vulnerable include ponderosa pine, sugar pine, incense cedar and various types of oaks.

Maggie Beck/Union Democrat

Belleview Elementary School in the Big Hill area held a jog-a-thon fundraiser Friday. Participants in the event include (clockwise, from above): Third-grader Amanda Cathcart-Randall, 8; Glen Walker, of Soulsbyville, carries his grandson Isaac Walker, 3, on his shoulders as he walks with granddaughter Addie Walker, 8 (left), and her friend Felicia Salisbury, 5 (center); kindergartner Kayla Vassar, 5, third-grader Kallie Green, 8, and kindergartner Serena Klein, 5; and the Belleview Eagles mascot.

Some county residents have reported

an unusuallyhigh number of dead or dying trees on their properties over the past two years, costing them thousands of dollars to have removed.

To make matters worse, area sawmills say they are inundated with wood from the 2013 Rim Fire and may not be

able to begin accepting new logs from private landowners until December.

County leaders say dead trees pose a threat to public safety and critical in&astructure needed to provide essential services, such as roads, power lines and water resources.

The board has organized a task force committee to look into the issue locally and come up with ways to address it, while also calling for support &om state and federal agencies due to the constraintsoflocalresources.

Berryhill says in his letter that a state of emergency would "assist public agencies and private individuals that have been harmed by the infestation and will bring immediate attention to the role fuel reduction projects play in lowering the intensity of wildfires and stoppingthe spread ofdisease."

"This is an important step in protecting and maintaining California's watersheds and wildlife habitat, promoting carbon sequestration, and protecting the safety of communities under the constant threat of severe wildfire," he stated.

'The whole building," said Elliott.

None of this would have been possible, though, had it not been for Jim Whitaker, the owner ofLindy Roofing Company inSan Jose.

His purchase of a lot, owned by the district, next to the Masonic Hall in Murphys that included a building, a parking lot and a communitypool,provided $500,000 fortherenovation.

"If he hadn't come as a buyer, I am not sure we would've been doing what we'vebeen doing now," said Elliott. '%'e had enough cash to pay for the bell tower, we had enough to get started on the bathrooms."

As part ofthedealto purchase theproperty, he also supplied the schoolhouse with new roofing.

"It was pure luck that we sold that place to a man that is generous and does one heck of a job. I have never, never seen roofers work that fast." said Elliott.

Once completed, the schoolhouse, which has beenavailable for localgroups to rentfor various events or meetings, will be compatible with other, larger facilities at an afiordable price. '%hen it's finished, I think there will be more uses. Because even sometimes, the government needs a space to meet. This place isn' t expensive," she said.

The roof at the Murphys historic schoolhouse was leaking, the wood that made up its shell was rotting, and the building was experiencing the wear and tear typical of any other 150-year-old structure.

California's second-oldest building — beginning operation as an elementary school in 1860 and operating, as a preschool, until 2012 — was in need of renovation. And the Ebbetts Pass Veterans Memorial District, a group that works on projects meant to bene6t veterans, has been working on the repairs.

"It's got serious issues," said Maureen Elliott, who doestherealestate work forthe district. 'This is the first real thing that anyone, in years, would've done. I am sure they have done some little stuff. But nothing you can see from what's in there."

Thus far, the schoolhouse has seen renovationstothebelltower,theguttersand theroofing. The roof job is still underway due to the Butte Fire last week.

"If there was no 6re, the roof would've been finished," Elliott said. "If there wasn't a fire, they (the roofing company) would've been here that weekend we were having the 6re."

Elliott says the building, which was given to the Ebbetts Pass Veterans Memorial District from the Vallecito School District in 1960, will take at least two more years to ContactCalaveras County reporterJason complete.

GUEST OPINION

Preventing death from narcotics, like locking a gun Do narcotics kill people? Absolutely! Though most of the overdose deaths are not among the patients receiving the prescriptions. How can that be?

Does untreated pain kill people?

Absolutely! And like narcotic addiction,untreated pain destroyspeople, destroys their families, and can even causebrain deterioration,like those "demon drugs." How can that be?

As our health officer, Liza Ortiz, M.D., MPH stated in her guest opinion "County faces prescription opioids epidemic" on Sept. 22, 2015, that Tuolumne County residents wereprescribed in 2013 the equivalentof437 tablets ofVicodin per person per year. The newspaper misinterpreted that and actually listed it on the chart as the actual number of Vicodin pills per resident.

The reality is that people on highdose narcotics dramatically raise the average in the county. A 50 pg per hour fentanyl/Duragesic patch or 60mg twice daily morphine LA/ Kadian is the equivalent of eight Vicodin every day or nearly 3,000 per year. A 100 pg patch is 6,000 Vicodin equivalents per year, and that is the 10 mg extra strength Vicodin.

One person on a 50 pg patch or two 60mg MS Contin plus-9 people on no narcotics equals about 300 Vicodin equivalents per year per person, on the average.

Getting back to deaths from pain and deaths from narcotics, I use the term narcotics since only those narcoticsderived from opium are opiates. Non-opiate narcotics include fentanyl, oxycodone, methadone, and buprenorphine, among others.

Opiates include morphine, codeine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, heroin, and others. The more dangerous of these drugs are those in longacting formulations like OxyContin and MS Contin and methadone.

The one narcotic that only comes as a long-acting drug is methadone.

Long-acting drugs are more dangerous, especially to the "narcotic naive person," someone not regu-

larly using narcotics. If they take a long-acting drug, they initially may seem fine, then gradually the drug builds up over 6 to 12 hours causing overdose with slowed breathing and apnea, often while they sleep, and they never wake up, or they sustain brain injury from lack of oxygen.

It is exceedingly important that anyone on narcotics, especially longacting ones, carefully lock up their narcotics, just like locking a gun, so that children, teens and others cannotaccessthatlethaldevice ordrug.

It's important that patients take long-acting narcotics at a consistent dose. Taking more one day and less the next puts them at greater risk of overdose.Short-acting narcotics can be taken as needed. Long-acting narcotics are only for persistent intractable pain that is always present, and that deserves "round-the-

Guest Opinion

By Kenneth Renwick, M.D., MPH, FAAFP It is quite important that any left over unused narcotics be properly destroyed. They can be turned into a clinic or dumped into the disposal barrel at the sheriff's office/jail.

As we tighten up systems to reduce diversionofdrugs,we need to keep in mind that most patients in pain have legitimate needs and do not deserveto be treated as criminals or addicts.

Most ofthese people are common everyday folk with unsuccessfulback surgery, intractable peripheral neuropathy,deteriorated joints or disks with no hope of surgical correction due to multiple other medical problems, and so forth.

Rural residents have more chronic pain due to higher risks of occupationalinjuries and poor access to

Last week, Kimberly Kirchmeyer, executivedirector of the Medical Board of California, came to Sonora and spoke to the hospital medical staff. She spoke to the need for narcotic safety,but also stated the board's continuing commitment to adequately treat pain and suffering. She used the famous metaphor "It takes a village," with providers, patients, families, schools, pharmacies, law enforcement, newspapers, community organizations and more comingtogetherto stop diversion of drugs and overdose deaths.

This same village also comes together through hospice and other medicalservices to provide needed relief of pain and suffering, especially at the end of life. Unfortunately, with the recent closure of several

medical practices, and resistance by many providersto do pain management, more "pain patients" are drifting to the ER or Prompt Care, as "pain refugees," with no providers willing to take them as patients. But that's a subject for another day.

YOUR VIEWS Unhappy with local movie offerings To the Editor: Why do I have to continuallydrive to Modesto's Regal theaterto see movies that I would like to see here?

Sonora has a large Christian community, and I, like so many others, just drove down with my family to see "The War Room" last week.

It wasrated No. 1 there.

This week I plan to go see "90 Minutes in Heaven," as well as driving down again

to see"Captive,"both true and redeeming stories.

I have lived in this community for 40 years,and have children and grandchildren and would never take them to see "Black Mass" or "Straight Outta Compton."

Maryland man hurt Man pleads not guilty in hit-and-run in motorcycle wreck

By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

Union Denmcrat stafj'

A single-motorcycle accident was reported Thursday about noon causing moderate injuries to the driver.

Anthony Wykes, 55, of Germantown, Maryland, was driving a 2013 Harley Davidson north along Highway 49 near Deer Creek Road in Angels Camp when he lost

controlofthe motorcycle,accordingto the report.

He was ejected from the motorcycle and landed in the south lane of the highway.

The report stated Wykes was traveling about 40 mph.

Wykes was transported by ambulance to Mark Twain Medical Center in San Andreas. His condition was unavailable Friday afternoon.

Contraty to stereotype, some millennials digging into news WASHINGTON (AP) Don't believe everything you see tweeted, shared or posted about the millennial generation being uninformed.

A sizable group of these young adults — 4 of every 10 — actively seeks out the news, an analysis of their media habits finds.

Even the out-of-it others

say they stumble on news while they' re catching up with friends on Facebook, scanning their Twitter feeds or looking for entertainment online.

Like generations before them, the millennials are more nuanced and complicated than the stereotypes about them would have it.

"It's the first digital generation, so there's a tendency to lump them together and think this i s how people who've grown up with this technology behave," said Tom

Rosenstiel, executive director of the American Press Institute, which paid for the study.

But, Rosenstiel said, "This generation is not a monolith."

To help sort out the millennials, from the more apathetic to the most plugged-in, researchers with the Media Insight P roject s u rveyed them and came up with four general categories.

The Media Insight Project is a partnership between the Associated Press-NORC Center For Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute, which hopes to provide insight on how journalistscan learn better ways to reach and hold this audience under age 35.

They are the best-educated generation of Americans yet, and they have nearlyinfi nite information available at their fingertips: Almost all use a smartphone.

A 40-year-old man accused of ramming his car into a pregnant Sonora woman and fl eeing the scene pleaded not guilty in Tuolumne County Superior Court on Friday, according to the Tuolumne County District Attorney's

Office.

David Joseph Serpa Jr., of Sonora, is charged by with four counts of felony assault with a d e adly weapon, felony hit-andrun drivlIlg and

n l lsIle-

meanor destroying evi- Serpa dence stemming from an alleged hit-and-run incident on Aug. 7 in the Crystal Falls area.

Valerie Yaple, 30, was struck by a Mitsubishi Edipse while leaving a family gathering after her husband, Steven, also 30, yelled for the driver to slow down.

The driver backed the Eclipse into Yaple and hit another parked car that bumped into the couple's 10-year-old daughter, who received scrapes and bruises.

Yaple, who was about nine months pregnant at the time, suffered multiple injuries including hemorrhaging inher brain, a broken bone in her spine, a broken toe and multiple scrapes and bruising.

She was hospitalized at Doctors Memorial Medical Center in Modesto until she gave birth on Aug. 30. Steven Yaple said earlier this month that there were no complications with the birth.

I nvestigators im p ounded an Eclipse registered to Serpa that was found Aug. 8 covered by a tarp on American River Drive, according to the Sheriff's office.

Serpa was arrested Aug. 9 at the

Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office and booked intoTuolumne County Jail, where he was released later that day on $40,000 bond.

Deputy District Attorney Eric DuTemple Jr. said a preliminary hearing in the case was scheduled for 10 a.m. Dec. 4 in Department 2 of the historic Tuolumne County Courthouse on Yaney Avenue in Sonora.

After a criminal complaint is filed by a prosecutor, a preliminary hearing is held to determine if there's sufficient evidence of probable cause to require a trial.

DuTemple said the delay before the preliminary hearing is due to Serpa hiring a new attorney, James Webster, who replaces Clint Parish.

THEUMO NDEMOCRAT

1 m1 AND THE NATION AND WORLD

acre uaorsresore ue rue SACRAMENTO (AP) — California regulatorson Friday restored ambitious rules to cut transportation fuel emissions 10 percent within 5 years, a decision that gives Gov. Jerry Brown a boost for his climate change agenda.

The rules further strengthen California's toughest-in-the-nation carbon emissions standards, but oil producers warn the changes could drive up costs forconsumers atthegaspump.

The changes are expected to add a few cents a gallon to the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel in the state that already has some of the highest gas prices in the nation. The state estimates a typical commuter will pay an extra $20 to $24 in 2017,increasing to$52 to $56 in 2020.

"We are on a path to reduce our dependence on petroleum and this program is a key piece of that action," Mary Nichols, chairwoman of the California Air ResourcesBoard, said ahead ofthevote.

Brown, a Democrat, has vowed to newable hydrogen and other investintensify hi s f i gh t a g ainst c l i mate ments to reduce pollutants.

change after the oil lobby helped kill a Democratic legislative proposal earlier this month to slash statewide petroleum use by half in 15 years.

The board is the state's top regulatoryagency to enforce rules aimed at reducing air pollution.

Regulatorsvoted 9-0 to re-adopt its low-carbon fuel standard, which requires producers to cut the carbon content of fuels 10 percent by 2020 to help the state meet its emission-

reductions goals.

The program was initially adopted in 2009 but the reduction target has been frozenat 1 percent because of a court fight. Friday's vote allows the state to resume its program; modifies rules in response to industry con-

cerns about price spikes; and gives companies more credits for using re-

Supporters say the program is worthwhile because it will encourage greateruse of cleaner biofuels and electric vehicles, which can be cheaper to operate than those powered by gasoline or diesel.

"This puts it back on track," Bill Magavern, policy director at Coalition for Clean Air, an environmental advocacy group, said after the vote.

"We have otherprograms that addressvehicle technologies and vehicle miles traveled, and this is the one that tells oil companies to reduce the carbon intensity of their fuels."

O il producers counter that t h e rules are unworkable and too costly.

They said the standard will impact consumers as the companies try to comply with the mandate or face being shut out of the market.

Leading the criticism was regional Shiite powerhouse Iran, which always seeks an opportunity to undermine its Sunni adversary.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in New York that atleast 140 Iranians were killed. He suggested that "ineptitude" by the Saudi authorities involved in organizing the hajj was to blame for the two accidents this month that have resulted in at least 830 deaths.

In Tehran, the Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned a

Dressed in a tan dress shirt and dark jeans, he occasionally looked around the Calaveras County Superior Court Department 3 c o u rtroom Friday, but mostly looked directly ahead.

Barney Fowler, the father, and Crystal Fowler, the stepmother, were also present.

The prosecution wrapped up its case with people who were near the Fowler home and with a sheriff's deputy who was on the scene that day.

Celso Casillas, whose first language is Spanish, with the help of a translator testified Friday he was doing construction work outside a residence near Leila's Rippon Road home the day she was killed.

Casillas said he b egan working around 8 a.m. and was placing tiles in the &ont area of the home, which required a lot of looking down at the ground.

At one point while he was working, Casillas said he heard sirens.

Casillas said he did not see anyone runnmg or fleei ng &om Leila's home.

Corporal Rudi Leon of the Calaveras County Sherifl's Department testified Friday he spoke with Casillas the day Leila was killed.

"He told me he heard sirens coming by and he thought he heard a female screaming," he said.

Leon said Casillas told him he went to the back of the home where he was working to see what was going on, and did not see any suspicious activity.

Christy Larson, one of Leila's neighbors, testified Friday she was mowing her &ont lawn the day of the murder.

Larson said Barney Fowler showed up at her residence that day looking "startled" and "shocked" and asked her if she had seen anything.

"I checked out back to see if I saw anybody running or fleeing," she said, adding that she did not see any suspicious activity.

Moments after the prosecution rested, one of the defendant's lawyers, Steve Plesser, said the prosecution did not provideevidence of a mo tive, which is not required, but "its absence creates reasonable doubt."

As Plesser was speaking, the defendant looked directly at Calaveras County Superior Court Judge Thomas A. Smith.

Pleaser said there is physical evidence an intruder went into Leila's home, and cited multiple examples, including that DNA of an unknown male was found in Leila's sexual assault kit.

Dana Pfeil, C a laveras County deputy district attorney argued there is no blood evidence an intruder fled out the back deck of the home.

The defendant told law enforcement offi cials a male

intruder, who was dressed in a black shirt and blue jeans, enteredthe home and fl ed out the back door.

"Did the guy disappear?

Did he fly away?" Pfeil said.

"How exactly did this individual get out of that house?"

Plesser argued investi gators did not use luminol, a chemical that helps identify traces of blood, in multiple areas in the Fowler's home, including the back deck and the master bedroom because they "ran out."

The crime was

r eported

at 12:15p.m. April27,2013.

Leila was taken to Mark Twain Medical Center in San Andreas, where she was pronounced dead at 1:01 p.m.

The defendant was arrested May 11,2013. His trial, which began Sept. 15, is being held in open court due to a statute that allows juvenile murder trials to be public.

Smith will deliver a verdict.

The trial is scheduled to continue Wednesday, with the defensepresenting itscase.

effectivelyaccessorize our homes with decorative

objects.

The key, as always, is to arrangethe objects in meaningful ways thatproduce the greatest impact. Too many little, under-scaled items scatteredabout create a cluttered and chaotic look.

Too many large, overwhelming items crammed together lack depth and quickly generate a sense of monotony. Successful accessorizing comes by striking the right balance with various sized objects.

Environment Think about the rooms in yourhome and their architectural and furniture layouts. Where are

the horizontal surfaces not reservedfor seating or reclining?

Now think about your decorativeobjects and where best to display them. Do you have any objectsthat relate to a pieceofwall decor or artwork? By positioning the objectson a tabletop in front of the wall decor,

you create a vignette that tells a story. To heighten the effect, ensure that some ofthe accessories are tall enough to overlap the artwork. This creates depth and unifies the objects and artwork as a single decorative unit.

Do you have a collection of something? If so, gather these items and display

• Group objects in odd numbers like three or five.

Odd numbersaremore visually appealing than even numbers.

• Vary the height of the objects within the same grouping. If all objects are of the same height, use books or risers to vary the height. Books can be an inexpensive option and add texture to the display.

Risers come in a variety of materials like glass, marble or wood. I occasionally like to use acrylic block magnetic picture &ames (available at www.crateandbarrel. corn) as risers. Rather than a photo,insertdecorative paper in the picture frames and customize to the season.

Balance and proportion Visualize the center

A symmetrical arrangement is one where identicaldecorative objectsare positioned in like manner on each side of a center point creating a mirror

image. Symmetrical compositions are more formal, orderly and traditional.

Because of their predictability, they can quickly become boring.

An asymmetrical arrangement is one where decorativeobjectsofdifferent sizes and shapes are grouped together and there are no mirror images. Asymmetrical compositions are informal, organic and modern. Because of their unexpected

In the Garden

TuolumneCounty UCCooperative Extension MasterGardeners

Use a tape measure. Look for sidewalks, power lines, sewer lines, roof lines and grumpy neighbors.

Planting the right tree in the right place is the key. Small trees, like red buds, dogwoods and fiowering plums, should beat least 8 to 10 feet from the wall of a o n e-story building.

Pruning may affect the growth pattern of the canopy.

Your red bud canopy could easily spread in width to cover lots of landscaping by forcing it to a shorter height. Choose your initial planting spot, take your tape measure and walk around the mature width of

Julie Silva Drought conditions put a dead stop to planting trees, right?

Here is a consideration for you. Do you just pop into the nursery and grab atree to filla spot? In actuality, planting a tree, with a lifespan of decades, if not centuries, takes some important decision making. Trees are

complex and need careful consideration regarding location, soil, water, room and your expectations.

If you are planting during fall, the prime planting season, now is the time to start gathering information and making decisions.

Expectationsare probably the biggest hurdle. What will this tree do for you in its lifetime? Are you searching forcolor,shade,fruit or esthetics?

Here is a list of questions from the

Arbor Day Foundationto guide you in your selection.

• Height. How big will this tree get? Will it infringe on power lines, sewer lines,or solarpanels?

• Canopy spread. How wide will the treeget? A yard may be overwhelmed by a m assive spreading tree. Some trees will get so wide they block off your entire house.

• Is thetree deciduous or coniferous? A deciduous tree loses its leaves in the falVwinter. A coniferous tree will shed mature leaves throughout the year.

• Form or s h ape. Tree varieties have different shapes. A columnar tree like an Italian cypress is very upright and takes a smaller

that tree.

Thinkstock

Several factors should be considered when choosing a tree to plant. footprint. R ound a n d va s e-like (v-shaped)provide the most shade.

Tall, upright trees like coastal redwoods block winds as a windbreak.

• Growth rate. When will it reach the full height and width? Slow growers live longer.

• Soil, sun and moisture. Growing requirements areessential to proper

location. Know your site, and your tree will have the best success.

• Fruit. Do you want fruit? Some trees, even though they are ornamental, produce fruit. Good examples are fiowering purple plums, female mulberry and crabapples.

If thetree you chose has a 20-foot canopy, it will reach out 10 feet from the trunk all the way around on each side, even over the fence, and covering the neighbor's pool. The drip line, or the edge of the branches, will extend that far at maturity.

Remember thegrumpy old neighbor? Your mature tree might impact his pool pump and many other things.

It isbetterto foresee problems at the beginning.

Planting trees creates huge benefits for everyone in your community.

They add to property values, keep our cities cooler, exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen, clean the air, provide us food, and give us an excellent spot to relax.

Planting a tree is like creating history, making a vision for years to come.

• When accessorizing bookshelves create added visual interest by alternating horizontal and vertical stacks of books. Display accessorieson severalofthe horizontal stacks.

• Decorative trays are great for maintaining order and offer the ease of portability. Attractive baskets providestorage fornotso attractive items.

• Displaying an object under a glass cloche, or bell jar,increasesthe object's visual importance.

• Including &esh florals and greenery in your decorative compositions add life and brings the outdoors inside. If you prefer faux fiorals and greenery ensure that you arrange them in a life-like manner and keep them well dusted.

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.

Brother worried sucess will mar relationship DEAR ANNIE: My brother and I are both in our 60s, and we phone each other regularly.

My problem is, over the years, I have been fortunateand, though not wealthy, am pretty well-off My brother, however, has barely eked out a living for himself and his wife.

When he called the other day to see what I was up to, I didn't want to say that I had been buying a rental property. I don't know how to discuss this with him without seeming as though I'm bragging or putting him down for not being as successful.

Any hints? —LUCKY BROTHER DEAR LUCKY: Your brother surely knows that you h ave more money than he does. He may, in f a ct, e njoy h earing about the things you are able to buy. There may be some envy, naturally, but not as much as you think. As long as you aren' t boasting,he may not begrudge

who are picky and demanding, so you can prove you are good enough to please them. Then you turn yourself inside out for someone who will never find you adequate. Stop letting others treat you like a doormat. If you want to cook a special meal, do it for yourself.If he complains, tell him he can cook his own meal and see if it's better.

Standing up for yourself can be satisfying, as well as empowering. Get counseling if you can' t figure it out on your own.

Ferritin level concerns one doctor but not another DEAR DR. ROACH: What's the best advice when one doctor seems more concerned about something than another? I am a 49-year-old woman who doesn't smoke, is relatively healthy and who weighs about 150 pounds. I have had celiac disease since 2009 and hypothyroidism. I tend to run on the low end of normal with my ferritin levels. A recent reading was 37 ng/mL, but it's been 11 to 34 over the years, with a recent iron reading of 87 ug/dL. This concerns my neurologist, whom I see for severerestlessleg syndrome.Icurrently take 140 mg daily of ferrous sulfate.

The ferritin level doesn't seem to be a concern for my internal medicine doctor, though the neurologist wondered why he isn't trying to figure out why my ferritin levels run on the low end of normal. Do I pursue that further with the internal medicine doctor or ask the neurologist if there is more investigating that he would like to pursue? —S.K ANSWER: This is a seemingly simple question: Why a low ferritin with a normal iron level? Ferritin is a pro-

borderlineoverall body iron.You are taking a fairly low amount of iron, and itmight not have adequately repleted yourstores.Celiacdisease,unlessa gluten-free diet is meticulously followed, usuallyleads to poor iron absorption, so that might explain why your body isn't at full iron levels despite your taking supplementary iron. Iron levels go up quickly after supplementary iron or iron-rich foods, and vary during the day.

Your neurolo gist is quite correct that even mild iron de6ciency, proven only by the low blood ferritin, can worsen restless legsyndrome.

However, there are some other possibilities that need to be mentioned. One is that hypothyroidism can cause a low teinthat reflects totaliron stores,so a ferritin level in absence of iron deficienmodestly low ferritin like yours means cy, and you should be sure your thyroid

level is right in the middle of normal.

Also, I don't know why you are iron deficient in the first place. While the celiac disease is one possibility, I always want to make sure a hidden source of bloodlosshas been looked for,and for a 49-year-old woman especially, that means a thorough evaluation of the GI tract, especially the colon. Polyps, colon cancer and inflammatory bowel disease sometimes can have minimal symptoms. All could cause blood loss that you might not notice.

I certainly would readdress this issue with your internist, or ask to see a gastroenterol ogist.

DEAR DR. ROACH: In regard to the recentletter aboutmedicalproviders demanding nonessential information, why aredoctorsreferredtoas'Dr." while I, the 70-year-old patient, is referred to as "Mary" ? Am I not worthy of the doctor' sand staff'srespect?We are

t K J4 In 1995, there was an interesting fashion adver4 K Q10643 t isement in The New York Times Magazine. In a W e s t East cartoon, two young women were talking to each 4 63 4 A Q J 10 98 other on different pages. These were their lines: y A7 V J 1 09 5 4 "SowhatdoyouthinkofthenewV.P.ofMarket- ~ ~ 9 7 I 10 8 ing?"

4 5 4 J9 7 2 "There are only two things I don't like about her.

South Her face."

4 K74 Although that is snide, it is funny. The key word V KQ6 for today's deal, though, is "two." How should I A6 5 32 South play in three no-trump after West has led the 4A8 spade queen?

North's bidding problem is difficult. Discuss it with your partner.

Vulnerable: Both It is easy for declarer to get careless on this deal South West N orth E a st by taking the first trick, cashing the ace of clubs, and ).NT 24 3NT All P a ss playing another club. With this layout, though, he goes down.

There are two ways to collect nine tricks: one Openinglead:4 Q spade,two diamonds and six clubs;orone spade, five diamonds and three clubs. South should try for both. Also, if he needs five diamond tricks, he should finesse dummy's jack. (To cash the ace and king of diamonds immediately, hoping to drop the doubleton queen while declarer still has communication in clubs, is against the odds.)

South should win trick one, play a club to dummy's king, then return a club to his ace. If the suit splits, he goes to dummy with a diamond to the king, and runs the clubs.

Here, though, when West discards a heart on the second club, declarer leads a low diamond to dummy's jack, cashes the diamond king, and claims nine tricks.

This is a rare example of a deal in which "the honor from the shorter side first" is the wrong play.

Summerville had the ball on its own 19-yard line, up 29-21 with 2 minutes remaining in the game looking at a fourth-and-1. Summerville head coach Sean Leveroos decided to go for it. The plan was to keep the ball in senior quarterback Travis Rodgers' hands. Rodgers had played a terrific game to that point, and he was asked to make one more firstquarter.

Amador was driving early in the second play, the biggest of the night.

Rodgers took the snap, got low, and powered quarter,and on fourth down, Rodgers inhis way for a 2-yard run to pick up the first tercepted a Amador pass and returned the down and slammed the final nail in the Amador coffin. Summerville got a 29-21 homecomSee BEARS / Page C3

BRIEFING

Hudson, Zito in final outings OAKLAND — All Tim Hudson and Barry Zito need is Mark Mulder climbing the mound in a green and gold Athletics jersey to complete the 'ol Big Three in Oakland.

"See if he can' t catch our bullpen," Hudson joked.

Oh, Mulder will be there, all rightjust not pitching. He wouldn't miss this.

On Sunday, the three of them will throw out ceremonial first pitches together.

But first, Hudson and Zito will face off Saturday before both head into their planned retirements, and they will do it right back where their big league careers began, at the Oakland Coliseum.

What a nostalgic moment this will be, even if it only lasts for a few innings.

"It'salways do-or-die at quarterback," a smiling Rodgers said after the win. "But that' s what I live for. The fourth-and-inches.

Fernandez breaks MLB record MIAMI — Jose Fernandez is so good at home he can give up four runs in the first inning and still win.

The Miami Marlins ace became the first pitcher in the modern era to win his first 17 career home decisions, overcoming a rough start Friday to beat the Atlanta Braves 12-11.

Fernandez gave up a homer to Nick Markakis to start the game and allowed four runs in a 35-pitch first inning. He tied a career high by allowing six earned runs in five innings.

But the Marlins rallied with four runs in the first, led 11-4 by the fourth inning and totaled 20 hits in the matchup of the majors' two lowest-scoring teams.

"It's a funny way baseball has to wake you up," Fernandez said. "Lucky and blessed is the way I feel right now."

Onboard cameras for regatta SAN DIEGO —Sports producer and avid sailor Geoff Mason plans to use onboard cameramen as part of the coverage of the Super 12 Cup regatta on San Francisco Bay beginning in July 2017.

Onboard reporters have sailed in the last three editions of the grueling Volvo Ocean Race. But it's believed onboard cameramen for the Super 12 Cup would be a first for a major race around buoys.

"That is what is going to define our coverage and set us apart from any other regatta.

That's the most exciting element of this whole adventure," Mason said by phone.

Stanford defeats

Oregon, 42-24 CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Kevin Hogan, a gametime decisionbecause of an ankle sprain, threw for 163 yards and two touchdowns as No. 21 Stanford beat OregonState 42-24 on Friday night.

Christian M c Caffrey ran for a career-high 206 yards for Stanford (3-1, 2-0 Pac-12), which held just a21-17 lead at the half over th e Beavers (2-2, 0-1) before a pair of third-quarter touchdowns.

O regon Stat e t r u e freshman Seth Collins hit Jordan Villamin with a 40-yard scoring pass to open the fourth quarter and the Beavers pulled within 35-24, but Stanford answered with Barry Sanders' 65-yard touchdown run and Oregon State couldn't catch up.

Collinspassed for 275 yards and a touchdown, while rushing for another score. Villamin caught s even passes for 1 3 8 yards.

Sanders rushed for 97 yards and two scores for the Cardinal.

Hogan was a question mark for the game after injuring his left ankle in the second half of last week's upset of then-No. 6 USC. He threw for 279

yards and two touchdowns in that one, gritting out a 41-31 win that put Stanford back in the rankings.

He showed no sign of the injury against the Beavers, deftly moving the Cardinal downfield on the opening series of the game. Remound Wright capped the drive with a 1-yard scoring run.

49ers' offensive line looks for rebound SANTA CLARA (AP) — Four of the five positions on the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line are difFerent than they were a year ago, and it' s been a work in progress getting the group going.

The unit struggled in last week's43-18 loss in Pittsburgh, allowing five sacks while the running game failed to replicate its performance &om a season-opening win over the Vikings, when Carlos Hyde had 168 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

Now, the 49ers (1-1) head to Arizona to play the first-place Cardinals (2-0) hoping for a bounce-back performance from the ofFensive line.

"After Week 1, I didn't believe anybody," coach Jim Tomsula said. "A lot of people were sitting here talking about how great we were. And after Week 2, I don't really believe everybody on how bad we are. We' re a work in progress, and we' re on it."

Left tackle Joe Staley is the only start-

Second-year player Marcus Martin is filling in for Kilgore.

Former Patriot Jordan Devey is the team's new right guard after being acquired in a trade Aug. 18 for tight end Asante Cleveland. The 49ers signed

"I thought we did some good things, things that we improved on in Week 2. But, overall, not exactly where we want to be atall.N ota good effortlast week, but I got 100 percent confidence in the group."

BIUEFS Astros star 2B Altuve injured HOUSTON — Astros star second baseman Jose Altuve has been hurt in a collision with r ookie shortstop Carlos Correa in Houston's game Friday night against the Texas Rangers.

There was no immediate word on his injury.

Altuve and Correa were tracking a popup by Elvis Andrus with two outs in the seventh inning. Altuve had the ball in his glove for a moment before Correa crashed into him. Altuve was hit in the face by Correa's glove and knocked to the ground, using his right arm to break his fall.

Altuve grimaced as he remained on the field for a couple of minutes while trainers attended to him.

He eventually walked off and was replaced by Jake Marisnick with Houston trailing 6-2.

"I dropped back in a zone and the quarterbackmade a bad read and Itook advantage of it," Rodgers said. "I knew that it was fourth down, so as soon as I got it, I knew that I had to make a play and make a good return."

Summerville got the ball to the Amador 1, and Summerville offensive coordinator Mike Oliva called a simple play, Q-1 on the goose, a quarterback sneak. Rodgers kept the ball for the score, and Summerville took a 7-6lead following a Jake Noonan PAT. Noonan was a perfect 3 for 3 on PATs. "We just didn't let up," Nathaniel Ulvevadet said. "They came out, got the first score on us and we knew that we could come back from that. There were a lot of penalties being thrown back and forth,butwe kept our heads and kept fighting."

ers connected with senior Eli McLaurin for

a 32-yard touchdown pass. The Bears led 22-9 at halftime.

Amador cut into the Bears lead with 5:40 remaining in the third quarter, with Summerville leading 22-15. Summerville needed to make a play, and Rodgers answered the call.

With the ball on the Amador 29, the Bears were looking at a third down. Rodgers dropped back to pass, threw a deep pass down the hash marks, and McLaurin made a Willie Mays, over the shoulder catch for the score. McLaurin finished the night with four receptions for 74 yards and two scores.

"Eli is the biggest underdog on our team," Rodgers said. "He can play football.

I' ve been waiting for him to have a game like this and it feels great to know that we have anotherplay maker out there."

"I'm really proud of the mantra that we started preaching of next man up," Leveroos said. "McCready was out, so Eli

With the ball on the Bears 33, Rodgers dropped back, saw JT McCready streaking down the Summerville sideline, and threw a perfectpass, which resulted in a 67-yard scoring strike. The score is the sixth receiving touchdown of the year for McCready.

"I dropped back, McCready shook his man, and I just put the ball in the air," Rodgers said. "McCready ran underneath it because that is his job and he made a great play."

Ulvevadet added a 2-point conversion on a powerful run, and the Bears led 15-9 with 2:02 remaining in the half.

"Running the ball tonight was really physical," said Ulvevadet, who rushed for a tough 128 yards. "The defense did a good job of pushing the defense back and so did my lead blocker Zach Marquez. He did a great job lead blocking tonight. So I just put the shoulder pads down and tried to get as many yards as I could."

all year long that sooner or later he would show what he could do, and he did that tonight."

Rodgers finished the night with 159 yards, three touchdowns, and no interception s.

"His performance started with the amazing attitude he had come Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in practice," Leveroos said of Rodgers. "To start the week, he wasn' t quarterback. I really, really think that without his positive energy and the enthusiasm he brought, the team wouldn't have rallied behind him like they did tonight."

"We expected to win," Rodgers said. "We came out and got the job done. We did what we were told and we took what the coaches gave us. We took the tools that we were given and built a house."

Orioles' playoff hopes fading BOSTON — The Baltimore Orioles' slim playoff hopes just got a little smaller.

Rich Hill kept up his startling comeback, pitching a two-hitter and striking out 10 as the Boston Red Sox sent to Orioles to a 7-0 loss Friday night.

Entering the day 3 V2 games behind Houston for the AL's second wild card spot,Baltimore can hardlyafford many more losses.

On Friday, they were shutout by a journeyman left-hander who is rediscovering his career.

WILDCATS Continued from PageCl win those games, but we gave them everything we wanted, and everything they could handle.I'm proud ofmy guys."

Wildcat head coach Bryan Craig said, "I keep looking at that moon (that was almost full). I think my team and my coaching staff underestimated how well those guys were gonna come out andplay and how much pride they play with. We beat Ripon and we

sj

kind of got cocky, rWe're the real deal, we're

gonna run through the MLL' and Argonaut came out and playedvery,very hard. We missed assignments and they did a great job of making us pay when we missed an assignment. I gotta tip my hat to Gary, they did a great job."

Sonora's Wyatt Faughnan scored on a 56yard run on the game's first play and that would be the only scoring in the first half.

In the second half, after gaining just 24 yards in the first, Argonaut took over with its passing attack. The Mustangs scored late in the third quarter to take a 7-6 lead heading into the fourth.

Argonaut added another touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter to take a 13-6 lead after they failed on a two-point conversion try.

The Wildcats answered back with Faugh-

Argonaut answered two minutes later Faughnan scored his third touchdown when quarterback Chad Floyd threw his with 5:57 left and the Wildcats tied the game third touchdown pass to Jakob White to on Faughnan's two-point conversion run.

"Wyatt'sbeen kind ofbanged up and he's take a 20-12 lead.

and said, 'Let's go.' He definitely gave us the leadership we needed tonight."

Faughnan also gave Sonora a game-high 119 yards rushing.

Argonaut was in position to win it in regulation and had a first down at the Sonora 35 with 1:16 left.

But Wildcat defensive lineman Nate Gookin single-handedly stopped the drive.

He sacked Floyd for a 12-yard loss and then again on the next play for a 4-yard loss.

"We underestimated them and it showed," Gookin said. "We had to calm down take a deep breath and focus on our jobs and play as hard as we can."

Argonaut punted and it went to overtime.

And the 'Cats scored quick. Kane Rogers took a handoff and sprinted around the outside for a 10-yard touchdown.

Bradley Canepa plowed in for a two-point conversion for a 28-20 lead.

Argonaut came right back on Floyd's fourth TD pass but the two-point conversion pass failed and the Wildcats escaped with a victory.

"That's gonna be our team this year I think. We don't wanna get big leads and enjoy them and let the coach enjoy a nice leisurely win," Craig said. "But we know we have that in us. We showed it in Hilmar and we showed againtonight,we're gonna bounce back and we' re gonna put pressure on you until the end of the game."
