Battalion Chief Mike Olivarria of Cal Fire's Amador-El Dorado Unit was at Sutter Hill Fire Station 60 about twoand-a-half miles north of Jackson on Highway 49 when he was dispatched to a fire near Butte Mountain Road in Amador County. It was 2:80 p.m. Sept. 9. He drove his command truck toward Vista Point. He could see the smoke, moderate, not building rapidly. He pulledup off Charamuga Ranch Road and found the fire at about four acres, just about to hit the rock-and-dirt track he was on. About a dozen spot fires burned south of Charamuga Ranch Road. There were goats in a pen and cows beyond a fence, where the ground fell steeply into the Mokelumne River canyon. He saw some residents and told them to go inside. Two engines behind him started picking up the spot fires. Another engine crew laid hose lines at the place the fire

"It would bring more focus to downtown Sonora," said Shirley Sarno, the chamber's executive director. Several of the events would be held in the downtown area, with a possible larger weekend event at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds in August. While many parts of the events would be free, additional revenue could be generated as the events grow in popularity through ticket sales, sponsorships and merchandising.

next week.

The organization is the county's first public health education program and focuses on serving kindergarten through 12th-grade students and their families. The healthcare industry employed 13.7 percent of the workforce during 2013-14 and is expectedto nearly double in available jobs by 2022, according to data for Tuolumne, Calaveras, Amador, Mariposa, Mono and Inyo counties compiled by the state's Employment Development Department this summer.

The industry's growth and job numbers are only outranked in the region by retail and hospitality careers, employing 13.8 percent and 25.8percent ofthe workforce respectively. And the industry is expanding to include fields like robotics and engineering, according to Dr. Todd Stolp, former Tuolumne County public health officer and HealthLitNow vice president-director. It's not just for doctors and

nurses or other careers that require years of higher education.Healthcare jobs are attainable with a six-week c ertificate straight out o f high school, said Stolp, and named insurance counseling and public health education among these quickly attainable positions. "These are people with just slightly more knowledge than the lay person and can help navigate the system," said Stolp.

Also scheduled for t his month areGold Rush Charter School and Foothill Leadership Academy. The idea is not only to educate students about health scienceand careers available, but to also increase understanding of their own health and the language they have to communicate that understanding to doctors, their community and, later, insurance companies, said Hillman. He refers to the education as "health literacy." In addition to the fairs, the organization has printed a 3-foottallposter with dozens of healthcare jobs sorted by educational levels to hang throughout the county. Jobs are printed in various text sizes. Bigger sizes represent higher growth potential based on information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, said Hillman. Posters have already been distributed to schools, medical offices, pharmacies and businesses. The fairs are funded by grants from the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD), SAF, Tuolumne County Beh avioral Health an d t h e Tuolumne County Economic Development Authority. HealthLitNow p r o vides the service at no charge to schools.

Crews working on Tuolumne County's first juvenile hall at the site of the future Law and Justice Center off Old Wards Ferry Road in Sonora discovered rock while grading, possibly delaying construction by four weeks. Work on the $20 million Mother Lode Regional Juvenile Detention Facility began in June. "It will end up as a change order," said Deputy County Administrator Maureen Frank, who is scheduled to present the report to the county Board of Supervisors at Tuesday's meeting.

The roughly 24,630 square-foot facilityfunded largely by a state grant — will initially be able to house up to 30 juvenile males and females from Tuolumne, Calaveras and Amador counties, with the ability to add another 30 beds. Juvenile offenders from Tuolumne County are housed as far away as Nevada City, a roughly three-hour drive from Sonora. The scope of the project includes one housing unit, classrooms, a dayroom, medical examination room, program rooms, indoor exercisearea, an enclosed outdoor exercise area, central control room, processing room, holding cells, vehicular sally port, administration and staff area, laundry room, kitchen and mainte-

Construction manager Shawn Strohman, of Vanir Construction Management Inc., serves as the county's eyes and ears on the project. He said about 25 to 30 people are working on site, though that will increase to about 75 to 100 when they start putting up the walls. Local subcontractors working on the project include Njirich and Sons Inc., Banks Glass, Tuolumne Ready Mix, Blue Mountain Minerals, Cover Trucking, Central Valley Trucking, Hamblin Trucking, Leslie Truck, Simunaci Construction and California Drilling and Blasting.

The Mother Lode Regional Juvenile Detention Facility is expected to open in late 2016. California Drilling and Blasting came up with ways to break down some of the larger rocks without the use of dynamite, which is prohibited by Caltrans due to the project's proximity to Highway 108. The excess rock and soil is being stored on county property near the site to use in future county projects. Though every detail of construction requires review and approval from the county, gen-

Also at Tuesday's meeting, the board is scheduled to consider: • Extending two local state-of-emergency declarations regarding the four-year drought and pervasivetree mortality. • Sending a letter to Gov. Jerry Brown requesting he declare a state of emergency due to the rising number of dead or dying trees in ruralareas ofthestate. • Submitting comments to the California Department of Water Resources and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on the draft Bay-Delta Conservation Plan that county staff say could pose a threat to Tuolumne County's water supply by increasing demand on the Stanislaus and Tuolumne rivers.

In 2005, Prieto was on San Quentin' s death row for the 1990 rape and murder of 15-year-old Yvette Woodruff in Riverside County, when DNA evidence linked him to three 1988 murders in Virginia. Under Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, California sent Prieto to Virginia, where killers sentenced to death actually face the likelihood of execution. (Authorities say evidence links Prieto to nine murders.) In 2010, a Virginia jury sentenced Prieto to death for the murder of Rachel Raver and Warren Fulton, both 22.

It looked as if Virginia would not be able to purchase new drugs, when Texas came to the rescue with a dose of pentobarbital, which it gets from a special compounding pharmacy not fully under the heel of the FDA. May I note the irony in the Obama White House's (rightly) bemoaning the prospect of a government shutdown when it (wrongly) uses a federal agency to shut down states' enforcement of their own laws? "Whether a state is able to carry forward its death penalty law largely depends on the determination and leadership it has. Virginia has that determination to carry out its death penalty law," Georgetown adjunct law professor William Otis told me. California does not. Prieto's attorneys have been busy, as well. They argue that Prieto, 49, has an intellectual disability — and they want Virginia to return him to California, where he could benefit from a full and fair" assessment. They have no shame.

isfied or dissatisfied" with the efFectiveness of Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, answered "dissatisfied" by a 72-23 percent margin. Republican f r ont-runner D o nald Trump has a case of political halitosis, which is evident when he earns a positive rating from just 44 percent of party voters. If Trump is the answer to Republicans' prayers, that amounts to a very serious indictment of either politics or religion. Given the anxiety and pervasive pessimism of voters, what we could be facing next year is a national campaign in which neither major-party nominee, even if running unopposed within his or her own ranks, wins a majority of the vote. The winner could indeed require a more unacceptable and less appealing opponent against whom to run. That, sadly, is the news from the banks of the Potomac River.

identified as the Mexican guy. Growing up, I witnessed bigotry as white people insulted Mexicans and Blacks. Mexicans insulted whites and Blacks. Blacks insulted whites and Mexicans. It helps to not stand out.

Are we born bigots, or do cultural norms shape us? I believe bigotry is the by-product of ignorance. If you express bigotry, children will learn. My mother taught me to believe in kindness. Sometimes I forget, but when someone reminds me, I realize they too are teaching me what they believe. I would not like it if someone held a sign accusing me of being a bigot. If my mother had not taught me how to be kind, it would not mean kindness is out of fashion. In a civilized world we do not needlaws to force people tobe kind. All we need is to ask each other kindly and hope that is enough. Children are still learning the many lessons our parentsforgottoteach us. Gavin Watkins might have children of his own someday. His behavior is recorded in our newspaper. He might be asked by his children, "Are you a bigot?" Has anyone asked him kindly if he would please leave his flag at home?

1 m1 AND THE NATION AND WORLD

ama: u e WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Friday he won' t sign another temporary government funding bill after the current one expires Dec. 11, insisting that congressional Republicans and Democrats work out a long-term budget deal with the White House. Obama said such a deal should lift a freeze on the budgets of both the Pentagon and domestic agencies. Speaking at a White House news conference, he said he "won't sign another shortsighted spending bill" and asserted that the U.S. can't cut its way to prosperity. "Congress has to do its job. It can' t flirt with another shutdown," Obama said.

On the so-called debt limit, which needs to be raised above the current $18.1trillion cap by early November,

Obama said he won't repeat a 2011 negotiation over companion spending cuts that brought the nation to the brink of a first-ever default on its obligations. "We' re not going back there," he said, adding: "Historically, we do not mess with it. If it gets messed with, it would have profound implications for the global economy and could put our financial system in the kind of tailspin that we saw back in 2007 and 2008.... It has to get done in the next five weeks." Neither position was new or surpris-

ing, but the president's statements came after Capitol Hill was roiled by the resignation of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. He decided to leave Congressafter a revolt among tea party forces who wanted him to use a temporary spending bill to force Obama totake away Planned Parent-

hood's federal funding. The same conservatives generally opposed lifting tight caps on spending set by the 2011 budget deal. Talks on spending were just beginning and were expected to focus on finding long-term cuts elsewhere in the budget to permit higher spending on the day-to-day operations of government agencies. Agreement will be difficult, in large part because of a lack of politically easy spending cuts and disagreement over how to use any

Four years ago Obama agreed to spending cuts in exchange for getting a $2.1 trillion debt limit increase through Congress. Since then he has twice refusedto negotiate over the debt-ceiling issue and Congress has lifted the debt limit both times with sweeping support from Democrats.

KING

Oliver must schedule his surgeries over the summer, giving him time to recover before

Continued from Page Al you are, and feel like you are, you are." In middle school, Oliver's grades dropped and he grew suicidal as he pushed himself to embracesocietal messages about his female body and struggled to deal with the onset of puberty. Now 17, he holds straight As, attends night classes at Columbia College, and is a pillar of support for peers who share nontraditional expressions of gender. "Most assume there's only two gendersmale and female — and that they' re connected to ourbodies,butthat'snotthe case foreveryone," said Joel Baum of the Oakland nonprofit Gender Spectrum, which provides conferences,panels and support services to promote a broader understanding of gender. Baum has gotten to know Oliver and his family during Oliver's transition. Early in 2013, Oliver stumbled across the term "transgender" on the Internet. "Everythingclicked," and a "huge burden was liked," Oliver said. From age 3, Oliver said he knew the girl' s body he was born into didn't match the way he felt inside. At 10, Oliverhad already started saving for breast-reduction surgery. His father, Dale Bishop, looks back now at obvious signs he overlooked at the time. Barbies were destroyed, and keeping a shirt on or getting him into a girl's bathing suit was impossible, Dale Bishop said.

was that end goal, I sought to reach it, and reaching it was so hard." In fall 2013, with the consent ofhis therapist and doctor, Oliver began hormone replacement therapy at The Center of Excellence for Transgender Health at University of California, San Francisco. The process required the teen to go through puberty all over again, this time as a

At the time, Oliver displayed clear signs of depression and was seeing school counselors. His father, concerned, searched Oliver's room and found papers he had been reading about transgender identities. Dale Bishop didn't speak to his son for a month. "I went into shock, but I was out looking for a therapist that next day," Dale Bishop said. "I interviewed three when I could hold back my tears because I didn't know what was happening." Oliver immediately started to see a Sonora therapist to begin his transition. "It helped having that label and having some end goal," Oliver said. "But since there

He now gives himself shots of testosterone routinely and will continue to do so for the rest of his life. Every six months, he returns to San Francisco for a check-up, but is able to handle the rest of his medical needs and refill prescriptions in Sonora. Oliver had a double mastectomy and received a hysterectomy in 2014 at age 16. The surgery was performed in Sonora by the same doctor who had delivered him. One last surgery was scheduled for this summer, but doctors refused to complete the intensive procedure on the grounds that Oliver was still a minor. He plans to have it done next year.

When Oliver tried to explain the term trans-

gender to his mom, she didn't comprehend at

classes and his numerous extracurricular commitments kick into gear. With his surgery delayed, Oliver put on hold plans to join a touring performing arts group or attenda four-year university,as recovery will be too debilitating away &om home. Though difficult, his transition is now embraced by his father. Dale Bishop said he cried at the first meeting with doctors at UCSF — coming face to face with a room full of people who better understood his child than he did. Now, Dale Bishop speaks about his experience on panels in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, and collaborates with Baum at Gender Spectrum in Oakland. Since Oliver came out, at least four other transgender students have expressed gratitude for "paving the path" at Summerville High, he said. Though Oliver has gained the acceptance &om the majority of his peers, family and community, his transition is still met with some derogatoryremarks, he said,m any lobbed behind his back in the wake of his nomination. "I'm pretty patient with it," he said. "We' re all people, and they just might be hearing what their parents are telling them to think, and that's all they think of me because that' s all they know of me." Oliver's coronation as the first openly transgender homecoming king at Summerville High School marks a huge milestone for transgender youth in the community and state, Oliver said. ARer hearing the news, Baum said the fact that Oliver is transgender should not overshadow his "kind, thoughtful, intelligent" na-

Every kid is affected by the way adults and peers think about gender, not just those who identify as transgender, because every kid has a gender and relates to it differently, exhibiting different degrees of masculinity or femininity, Baum said. Even among transgender individuals, the extent to which they pursue medical and surgical options to transition varies widely, with some forgoing the process altogether, said JoAnne Keatley, director of The Center of Excellence for Transgender Health.

Also at Monday's meeting, the council is scheduled to consider approving an architectfor a proposed public restroom at 201 S. Stewart St. The restrooms were one of the highestrated projects in the city's Vision Sonora plan at an open house held last November to gather public input. The goal of the plan is to drive commerce to the downtown area. Following a request for proposals, city staff recommended awarding the contract to Aspen Street Architects Inc. in Angels Camp for $19,900. The 2015-16 budget included $10,000 for the contract. The restrooms would be located inside a city-owned building currently used as a storagearea by the Sonora Certified Farmers Market. The building would be renovated to include the restrooms, along with asmall office and storage area for the farmers market.

It was all kind of a blur at this point." No one came to tell him and his wife to leave, Nodder said. ''We decided to get out on our own," he said. "My house had not caught fire yet.

Post said that before 8 p.m., he made a large order for more personnel and equipment for the next day.

I'd like to see the county come in here and put straw and seed in to prevent erosion." Nodder said he had a gun closet in his house. That' s why he returned to the ruins of his home on Friday, to salvage what remained of his rifles and shotguns. "That's what's le," Nodder said, showing a grape box filled with fire-blasted gun barrels. "There's a dozen here. No, 11. Whoops, there' s a double-barrel over there. See how that fire burned? It' s unbelievable it can do this kind of damage." He showed what remained of a Beretta12-gauge shotgun, a 12-gauge Remington shotgun, a sporterized Enfield 30-06 rifie, and a Winchester lever-act ion 30-30 rifle. Then he walked carefully through the ruins of his home and pulled out another fire-cooked shotgun. "This is the first shotgun I ever owned," Nodder said. "A Parker 12-gauge." It was a gift from his father on his 16th birthday. The Butte Fire was considered 100 percent contained as of Friday evening. The burn area was mapped at 70,868 acres, which equals 110.7 square miles. More than 290 fire personnel remained as-

signed to the incident. Pacific Gas and Electric officials say a live tree may

have contacted a PG&E line in the vicinity of the ignition point. An investigation of what caused the Butte Fire is incomplete, according to Cal Fire. The U n io n D e mocrat reported Sept. 18 several residents believe they know where the Butte Fire started: Under a power line that crosses Char amuga Ranch south of B utte Mountain Road.

Independence Hall Quilters to host annual show By SEAN CARSON The Union Democrat

Understanding the "Sleeping Beauty Syndrome" is important to gardening successfully with many California native plants. Their life cycle includes a period of summer dormancy which is broken by the kiss of the first rains of fall. This is markedly different from the natural cycle of many of the eastern or British garden plants with which we are familiar. In their natural settings, winter often offers up the kiss of death, not of renewal. Plants native to Mediterranean regions, likethe coastaland chaparralplantsofCalifornia, have had to develop mechanisms to

evergreen sclerophyll leaves — tough and leathery — often protected by waxy cuticle or surface hairs to resist dehydration. They toughen up in the summer, their aromatic oils or resins concentrating to repel grazing animals. Their metabolism slows down, reducing both new growth and loss of moisture by transpiration. The new growing season starts in fall, rather than spring. When the first rains (hopefully)come, the coats offallen seeds begin to swell and split. Sensing the renewing moisture, the roots of perennials and shrubs begin vigorous new growth. While the nights may begin to feel chilly, the ground retains residual warmth &om the summer.

In the garden, we can simulate the early rains by beginning to water as early as midSeptember to hasten the start of the growing season. I symbolically welcome the new season on the first day of fall, rains or not, by planting perennial seeds and beginning any new landscape planting that needs to be done. The results of this early growth phase may not be immediately visible. Foliage may brighten, but tender new growth doesn't push until after the serious cold snaps of December. With February's early warm spell, the effects of that wonderful fall root growth become obvious. Plants freshen and grow rapidly, flowering early and vigorously. I find that the main jobs in the spring are not to plant, but to maintain the drip irrigation system, do a little (or a lot) of weeding, and renew the mulch around the plants. Our aesthetic in gardening is to enjoy the forms and foliage of a plant, and especially to appreciate its flowering. However, the plant has a different goal. Its whole agenda is directed toward the production of its seeds. The flower is the means by which the plant goes toward maturing the seeds. Then, job done, the perennial plant can rest, and the annual fades and dies. This rest occurs during the hot summer.

The plant often sheds some of its foliage to reduce the amount of moisture it loses. Leaves toughen, often taking on a waxy or dull cast, becoming more resinous and less appealing to browsers. It is important to respect this process in the garden, to be sparing with summer water and fertilization. Allow your plants to toughen up. Less tender new growth means less deer damage, less cleanup and pruning, and longer-lived plants. This is the time also to do a little deadheading or trimming. Perennials should have spent seed stalks removed, shrubs can be tip pruned. In the winter, before new spring growth begins, I do the more major cleanup, raking out dead debris, triinniing dead wood, burning the residue. Sometimes it is hard to think about gardening in the fall. Our energy seems spent. Assault by hyper-producing zucchini and tomato vines is abating. Neglected reading matter beckons, tea mugs become more

appropriatethan iced tea glasses.But, if you can summon up some energy from the returning coolness and (again, hopefully) promise of rain, you will be well rewarded by planting at this time of the year. Let's hope the predicted El Nino comes to the Sierra Nevada this year to help with this historic drought. The best plants, it turns out, are the natives that are used to

dry conditions and have developed coping mechanisms to deal with little water and scorching sunlight. Mary Anderson, a Calaveras County

gardener, has spent the last 30years getting to know California native plants on her

10-acre property and propagates many native plants from the seeds of Iier "mother

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation. They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h©uniondemocrat.corn

'Platonic' lunches undermine marriage trust DEAR ANNIE: My wife and I recentlymarried after having been togetherfor 15 years.Itisa second marriageforboth of us.Six years ago,I discoveredthat she had contacted an old friend from high school through Facebook. She initially didn't mention it to me, but then finally admitted she was meeting him for lunch to catch up on old times (even though they barely knew each other back then). I found out this happened three times, though she only told me about two. We argued about this several times and Ibelieved shehad stopped contacting him. I recently found out that she is still in touch wjth this man via her cell phone, email and Facebook. Ks m essages toherarejustabitm oreflirtatious than those of a platonic friend and she seems to enjoy the attention. Annie, my wife tells me about all of

it is a form of emotional cheating. She may have nointention of doing anything more than Qirting, but hiding the conversations kom you is upsetting and undermines your trust, making you suspect her motives, all of which is unhealthyfor your marriage. We understand that the flirting makes her feelyoung and desirable,but that should beyour deparbnent, not his. Please communicate these things to your wife. The two of you should clear the air and be honest about what you need from each other. DEAR ANNIE: I read the letters from "Growing Up Way Too Fast," and "Mean Mother Award Winner," about their children's kiends who behaved poorly.

suspect trouble is brewing. She is on the computer first thing in the morning and late at night for hours at a time. I do not like this man and she knows it. The fact that she secretly contacts him makes me feel that she is cheating. I know he wants to meet her for lunch again. As far as I know, she has not agreed to do so, but if she does, I'm not sure I can handle it. If this is truly a platonic friendship, why is she hiding it &om me? Is this normal? I know she reads your column, so your advice would be appreciated.— HURT AND BETRAYI< D IN SO CAL Years ago, when our sons were her fr)ends except this one.

Anyone who broke the rules would be banned from our yard for a week. Now these "kids" are 40 and they call me "Dad" and my wife "Mom." They tell us that they appreciated those rules.

Aluminum exposure isn't a risk for healthy people DEAR DR. ROACH: For about 30 years, I have heard I should avoid contact with aluminum for sustained goodhealth.Isthere science or proven studiesofadversehealth efFectsbehind these recommendations? Or is avoiding contact with aluminum in deodorant or cookware an incorrect or unsupported that has taken on momentum, periodically resurfacing in articles and in emails? I am aware that exposure to some heavymetals is bad for us and must be avoided — forexample, lead from paint chips could be eaten by children or pets, or lead dust when sanding can be inhaled. But what about aluminum? — G.O. ANSWER: Aluminum is a light metal, not heavy, and it rarely builds up to toxic levels in the body. In the vast majority of cases where it does, it is in people with abnormal kidney function. This is because aluminum is poorly absorbed, and when it is, the body has an effective way of getting rid of aluminum — throughthekidneys,where 95 percent of aluminum is excreted. Even

sis, aluminum from diet, medication and in dialysis fluid can build up in bones. Once this is recognized (usually via a blood test showing high levels of aluminum, before and after a chelating agent), aluminum can be removed through chelation therapy. True alumiin dialysis patients and is increasingly uncommon due to better purification of dialysis fluid. There is no need to avoid aluminum pans or foil, as these do not raise blood aluminum levels.

Today in history Today is Saturday, October 3, the 276th day of 2015. There are 89 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On October 3, 1995, the jury in the O.J. Simpson murder trial in Los Angeles found the former football star not guilty of the 1994 slayings of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman (however, Simpson was later found liable for damages in a civil trial). On this date: In 1951, the New York GIants captured the National League pennant by a score of 5-4 as Bobby Thomson hit a three-run homer off the Brooklyn Dodgers' Ralph Branca in the "shot heard 'round the world." In 1955, "Captain Kangaroo" and "The Mickey Mouse Club" premiered on CBS and ABC, respectively. In 1962, astronaut Wally Schirra became the fifth

American to fly in space as he blasted off from Cape Canaveral aboard the Sigma 7 on a 9-hour flight. In 1974, Frank Robinson was named major league baseball's first black manager as he was placed in charge of the Cleveland Indians. In 1981, Irish nationalists at the Maze Prison near Belfast, Northern Ireland, ended seven months of hunger strikes that had claimed 10 lives. In 1990, West Germany and East Germany ended 45 years of postwar division, declaring the creation of a reunified country. In 2008,O.J. Simpson was found guilty of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room. (Simpson was later sentenced to nine to 33 years in prison.)

North 10-03-15 452 7 974 2 By PHILLIP ALDER I Iq)107 4 J983 Ring Lardner, a sports columnist and short East story writer who died in 1933, said, "A good $4 many young writers make the mistake of 0 A 10 8 6 5 3 enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, I Q big enough for the manuscript to come back t K 8 6 5 4 2 t A J 93 in. This is too much of a temptation to the 4 106 5 2 474 South editor." 4 A KQ J1 0 9 8 7 In this deal, South has to find a way to VKJ tempt an opponent to help him — how? South is in four hearts. West cashes his three top spades, then shifts to a diamond. 4AKQ South should open one heart. That 11-point Dealer: East hand is stronger than many 13-counts. West Vulnerable: Both might have made a takeout double (better S outh W e s t No r t h Ea s t than a one-spade overcall, despite that suit's 2V strength). North used the Jacoby Forcing R aise: at leastfour-card heart support and 6 4 Pass Pa s s Pa s s game-forcing values. South's three-diamond rebid showed a singleton (or void) in that Opening lead: 0 Q suit and any point range. (You could keep it simple, sensible, with natural rebids. Here, South would rebid four hearts to indicate a minimum.) Some pairs lead the queen from ace-king-queen, asking partner to give count. Then, an ace-lead is from only the ace-king. It is easy for declarer to cash his heart ace at trick five — and then grumble about bad luck when West discards. However, a resourceful South would cross to dummy with a club and lead the heart jack. Maybe East will be tempted to cover; or he might take ages thinking about it. Either way, declarer makes his contract despite the 3-0 trump split. Finally, if East plays low smoothly, South wins with his ace and, against most opponents, will find the trumps breaking 2-1.

ALAMEDA — Justin Ellis is the first one to admit his absence along the Oakland Raiders' defensive line the past two weeks has been hardly noticeable. That's because the Raiders' run defense has gotten progressively better since Ellis went out with an ankle injury early in the team's season-opening loss to Cincinnati. "Those guys have been playing good," Ellis said Friday. "Stacy McGee, he's been playing well, just as good as Icould do it.M ost ofthe (backups) on this line can do it just as much as the first ter." Not that Ellis is considered a weak link. If anything, the player c ommonly referred to a s Jelly by hi s coaches and teammates is one of the best run defenders on Oakland's roster.

Ellis returned to practice this week and is expected to be back in the starting lineup when the Raiders play the Bears in Chicago on Sunday. The timing couldn't be betterforOakland's defense. Linebacker Khalil Mack has been nursing a sore hip while defensive end Justin Tuck is dealing with a sore knee. Both are l isted as probable.

49ers' Davis doubtful for game

Rodriguez, Rogers help Sonora rally past Calaveras

SANTA CLARA (AP) — San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. Davis left last week' s 47-7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals with a right knee injury and did not return. He attempted to practice on Thursday and Friday but left the field at the start of team drills to work on the injury with the training staff. Davis, 31, has eight catches for 109 yards and no touchdowns through threegames. He missed two games in 2014 while dealing with leg and back injuries, marking the first time he didn't appear in at least 15 games since 2007. "I was blocking on the play and someone accidentally bumped into my leg, kind of rolled into my leg and kindacaused my legto strain," Davis said. Despite being listed as doubtful, Davis didn't rule himself out of Sunday's game against the undefeated Packers. "Depends on how I feel.Feeling good? Why not?" Davis said. The last time Davis saw the Packers he made a go-ahead 28yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter of a playoffgame in January 2014.The 49ers won that game 23-20.

Continued from PageCl going to beat us, then obviously we didn'thave them ready." The feeling on the Bret Harte sideline early in the first quarter was anything but fantastic. Following a three-and-out, Summerville marched down thefield and capped a 63-yard drive with a 1-yard quarterback sneak from Travis Rodgers. Things did not get any better as Bret Harte fumbled on the ensuing possessionand the Bears capitalized with a 12-yard run from Zach Marquez. Summerville led 13-0 midway through the first quarter. "I saw an open hole and I just took my chance," said Marquez of his first varsity touchdown. "I think we couldn't have taken more chances tonight and we just didn' t." With 3:14 remaining in the first quarter, quarterback Mike Ziehlke and fullbackAnthony Howard stepped up and helped move the Bret Harte offense. With the ball on the Bears 18, with 20 seconds removed in the second quarter, Joey Kraft took a sweep to the right and dove into the end zone for the first Bret Harte score of the night. "I came off a block, Zeke Renner threw a nice block, I got to the outside and got hit," KraR said. "I reached out foritand did itforthe team." "This past week we went into a package concept for the backs and receivers, and he is the package for a heavier running group," Kester said of Kraft. "He's a great runner in space, he made a couple of cuts and was able to getin." Summerville once again moved the ball on offense, and Rodgers connected with Cole Brewster for a 14-yard completion to keep the drive alive. But the drive stalled and a bad snap on a punt set the'Frogs up with excellent field position on the Bears 23. Ziehlke handled the short field and scored with 6:33 remaining in the half, diving over the line for the touchdown. He then connected with Kraft for a 2-point conversion, and the 'Frogs led 15-13. "We just need to work on getting off the bus ready to play," said Summerville lineman Kole Elkins. "That is our biggest flaw right now. We need to stepup on road games and fi gure out what is going on. Aiter we got up by 13 they came back out there and hit us in the mouth. And we were unable to respond." The Bears added three points at the end of the half on a 28-yard field goal off the foot of Jake Noonan. Summerville led 16-15 at half. "I think there was a lot of underestimating Bret Harte," said Nathaniel U lvevadet. "There are a lot of guys that have never lost to them and a lot of them took Bret Harte for granted and didn't practice hard this week."

Dominic Esquivel fell on the loose ball, and Summerville had a fresh set of downs with the ball on the Bret Harte 3. Ulvevadet punched in the ball from one-yard out for his ninth rushing touchdown of the year, and the Bears led 22-15. Bret Harte kept fighting. Ziehlke and company put together a 78-yard drive, which utilized his speed and the power running of Howard. "There were some weak spots in the Summerville defense and I just took advantage of them," Howard said. "I'm viewed as a straight ahead guy, so showing everybody that I' ve got some speed is good." "That is why Howard is in the position that he is in for us," Kester said. "We got to feed the ball, keep feeding the beast, and he came through tonight."

Ziehlke capped the drive with an 8-yard scoring run, and the 'Frogs tied the game at 22. "He is a great quarterback and he' s always bringing his teammates up and never puts anyone down," Howard said of Ziehlke. "He knows the offensereallywelland isoneofthebest quarterbacks in the league." Summerville punted the ball to Bret Harte, and the ball died on the 'Frogs 1-yard line. With their backs against their own end zone, Bret Harte put on the drive of the year. They marched methodically 99 yards and took the lead 29-22 on a threeyardrun from Brady Westberg. "That drive was incredible," Kester said. "When they spotted the ball, it was maybe two inches off the line. We knew coming out at halftime that we could run the ball inside on them. That is what we did the entire way down. It was just an impressive drive. My coaches, who were up in the

The Bears put in JT McCready at receiver for the first time, as McCready was nursing a hurt hamstring. "He is lucky that I was hurting when they put him out there, that' s all I' ve got to say," Ziehlke said. "I' ll be cocky about that." McCready made an impact right off the bat, catching three passes and completing a 31-yard strike to Eli McLaurin. Summerville got the ball to the Bret Harte 13, and Rodgers connected with McLaurin on a perfectpost route.Thelead was 29-28. Summerville went for two, but could not connect, and the 'Frogs were able to hold on for the win. "I don't think there is ever any game on paper that we are supposed to win," Leveroos said. "That is not respecting your opponent. I don't think it is going to be very hard at all to get our kids ready to play come Friday. Especially because it is against Sonora." As the celebration on the Bret Harte sideline continued after the final whistle, Ziehlke had high hopes forthe rest ofthe year.

He said, "Hopefully this is just the startof a roll and a snowball effect. Hopefully we can pick up three or four more in a row and get a playofF birth and keep it rolling. "

was."

The celebration was shortlived because Calaveras recovered the onside kick and the Wildcats were on defense again. But the celebration kicked into full gear when sophomore Kane Rogers intercepted his seventh pass of the season, leaping and reaching high to snare the ball out of the air to end all Redskins' hopes. "Coach said play deep and I did what he told me to do," Rogers said. "I jumped for it and I wasn't letting anyone else get it but me." "Not just that interception, he makes a huge reception to set up a touchdown, he makes a bigblock for Sammy," Craig said. "But let' s talk about that big mistake he made on that punt ... he' s a tremendous talent and he' s maturing. And we' re seeing that right before our eyes. He still has some things to learn but with the exception of a couple of plays, I would be saying he's the Heisman

Canepa said. "They were big and fast and we knew that from camp this summer, they' re a well-coached team every year. It's always fun playing Calaveras because we know we' re gonna get a physical game and that' s how we like it." Sonora (5-1, 2-0 Mother Lode League) trailed 7-0 after the first quarter and didn't get on the board until Canepa plungedin from the 1 on fourth down halfway

through the second quarter. The Redskins took advantage of a Wildcat bad snap on a punt and drove 16 yards in two plays to take a 14-7 lead into halftime. Sonora tied the game on the opening drive of the second halfon a Wyatt Faughnan 5-yard burst around the left end. The Wildcats took their first lead, 21-14, near the end of the third period on a Sammy Page 12-yard pass to Ian Cicero. Calaveras tied it with 5:27 left in the game to set up Sonora's game-winning drive. Page kept the ball from the 6-yard line and plowed

into the end zone with the help ofa devastating block from Rogers. "Sammy pulled i t , I thought he was going to pitch it to me, but he kept it and I ran up and blocked for him and put some guy on his back," Rogers said. "It was a great run by Sammy." "Sammy worked his butt off all day today," Canepa said. "He showed today how he is the quarterback of this league and how he can run the ball. That play was amazing." "I heard Kane's block was pretty good," Page said. "I pulled it with my read and it was one-on-one with the cor-

"Sammy is on his game," Craig said. "He worked really hard all week, watched a lot of film and it showed tonight. He's the reason the offense was very productive tonight." Also for Sonora, Rogers finished with 63 yards on seven carries, Canepa 59 on 14 totes and Nate Gookin had 31 on eight attempts. Overall, the Wildcats rushed for 245 yards. "Hard work p ays off," Page said. "We learned a good lesson last week. We came into film Saturday morning, worked our butts off Monday with focus and it all paid off. We played great t o n i ght .

The uniforms are the same. That's about it. These aren't the Chicago Cubs who've caused their fans so much heartache and left the rest of us with an endless supply of comedic fodder. Inside and out, nothing feels the same about these Cubs. From the place they play (a modernized Wrigley Field, complete with an enormous video board) to the guys running the show (Theo Epstein and the best manager around, Joe Maddon) to the talent on the field (led by Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Jake Arrieta), this very much looks like a team that can go a long way in October. Maybe all the way to a World Series championship, which has eluded the seemingly cursed Cubs since 1908. "Cubs history is wonderful," Maddon insisted Friday night, before a game at Milwaukee. "I'm talking about the players and the ballpark and the city and all the lore that' s the game's most dominant pitcher. attached to that. Superstition for me Going into his final start of the

a different makeup compared to the last two Chicago teams with the best shots at ending the World Series drought. The 1984 Cubs, who squandered a 2-0 lead to San Diego in what was then a best-of-five NL championship series, got a once-in-a-lifetime season from pitcher Rick SutclifFe and one last hurrah out of aging players such as Ron Cey, Gary Matthews and Larry Bowa. The following year, Chicago slipped &om 96-56 to 77-84. Then there are the 2003 Cubs, who had a three-run lead and were six outs &om the World Series when they collapsed against the Marlins in the infamous "Bartman" game.

With five starters 33 or older, that team also had a one-and-done feel to it. Sure, there was a bright young rotation, led by Mark Prior and Kerry Wood, but they flamed out far short of their potential because of injuries. This Cubs team i s y outhful throughout, led by the 23-year-old Bryant and 25-year-old Rizzo. Epstein, the president of baseball operations, and general manager Jed reallydoesn't matter." Hoyer painstakingly rebuilt the enCertainly, the current roster has tire organization after Chicago bot-

by Epstein, who built two World Series champions in Boston (another city that knew something about a World Series curse). It is carried out by Maddon, who fortuitously landed in the Cubs' lap this year after deciding to leave the Tampa Bay Rays, a payroll-challenged team he amazinglyled to four playoffappearances in six years, including the 2008 World Series. Like their players, neither is burdened by the Cubs' history. Of course, there's no need to take any chances. It'sprobably best for Steve Bartman to stay away &om that wildcard game, which a well-intentioned Cubs fan is trying to make happen througha GoFundMe campaign. We admire the attempt to make amends to Bartman, who unfairly took the blame for that 2003 defeat when he reached out for a foul ball. Just don't taunt the baseball gods.
