The scope of the tree mortality issue sweeping across the region is larger than Tuolumne County can handle on its own, the Board of Supervisors said Tuesday. Severalletters to state and federal lawmakers requesting aid to tackle the problem were unanimously approved by the board at Tuesday's meeting. The board also renewed a localstate of emergency declaring that the increasing number of dead or dying trees poses a serious risk to public safety. "It's important for the public to understand that the magnitude of this problem is such that the county in and of itself is never going to solve it," said District5 Supervisor Karl Rodefer, adding that other public and private agenciesneed to take responsibility for removing the dead trees on their land. About 77 percent of the land in Tuolumne Countyisowned and managed by public agencies, largely the Stanislaus National Forest and Yosemite National Park. "This is huge," Rodefer said. "It' s going totake cooperation of allthose groups out there to make it work." An estimated 13 million trees have died throughout the southern and centralSierra Nevada as a result of the four-year drought, according to Cal Fire and the U.S. Forest Service. The types of trees observed as being affected the worst by the drought include ponderosa pine, sugar pine, incense cedar and various types of oaks. Dense stands of conifers weakened by the lackof water are particularly invitingfor bark beetle infestation, according to the Forest Service. Many county residents have reported concernsabout the visible increase in dead or dying trees throughout the area, especially near Twain Harte, Grovelandand Tuolumne. County leaders say the problem poses a major threat to the public due to an increased risk of large wildfires and dead trees falling into homes or critical infrastructure, such as power lines,

Oaks are among the types of trees most affected by the four-year drought. roads and water conveyance systems. Homeowners are also finding that removing trees from theirproperties can be a costly process. District 2 Supervisor Randy Hanvelt said he spoke with a local tree fallerthat estimated itwould cost as much as $30,000 to remove 20 trees in closeproximity to a home. "We need to find ways to cooperate with these people so that if they can take them down, we can help them do that," he said. 'Vile need to streamline any process there is to make it happen." County Administrator Craig Pedro said alocaltask force formed recently to come up with ways of addressing the issue has had one meeting. However, many of the key stakeholders involved in the process have been busy with the Butte Fire in Calaveras County, including representatives from Cal Fire, the California Office of Emergency Services and U.S. Forest Service. Pedro said he's met with members of the Highway 108 FireSafe Council, Yosemite Foothills FireSafe Council and Southwest Interface Team, who have

expressed interest in taking a leadership role in the process. "Anyone who takes this on as a key leadership role is going to require

I say things like that, I' ve got to find a way to fund that. We' ve got to figure out a financial plan to go with it." The board approved a letter to Gov. Jerry Brown requesting support through the coordination of resources — including California Conservation Corps and prison inmate crews — as well as financial support through various state grants and funds.

have heard about these laws. But you may h a ve heard a lot if a loved one or Facebook friend is facing advanced cancer or ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and cannot obtain medicine that might alleviate symptoms or extendlife because ithas notgained finalapproval from the Food and Drug Administration. Right to Try legislation has been championed by the Phoenix-based Goldwater Institute, which has been largely ignoring Congress and concentrating on urging state legislatures to pass such laws. And they' ve had considerable success. Right to Try laws are now in place in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming. A Right to Try law passed by wide margins in the California Assembly and Senate sits on Gov. Jerry Brown's desk in Sacramento. There is speculation that he will veto it, but there may be enough votes for an override. As any political junkie could tell you, these include red states, blue states and purple states. Together they contain more than half the nation's population. And Right to Try legislation is being considered in other legislatures as well. Typically these bills have bipartisan support. Many legislatures have passed them by unanimous or nearunanimous votes.

Readers may wonder how state laws could override a federal regulatory agency. In fact the FDA currently has a Compassionate Use policy that allows patients with dire diagnoses access to drugs that have passed Phase I clinical trials and have been judged safe. But applying for this exemption requires 100 physician hours of paperwork and only about 1,000 applications are approved annually. This is in line with the FDA's longstanding institutional culture. For historical reasons, the FDA is much more averseto approving new drugs and treatments than its counterparts in Europe and other advanced countries. That's contrary to the usual regulatory pattern in which Europe is more stringent than America. The FDA approval process for new drugs typically takes about 10 to 15 years and costs companies about $800 million from testing in clinical trials to market in pharmacies. Many cancer and ALS patients die or endure excruciating suffering while waiting for approval of alleviating drugs. "Americans deserve transparency," writes Goldwater Institute president Darcy Olsen in her forthcoming book "Right to Try." "They should not have to beg their government for the right to save their own lives, or stand by while the government makes decisions behind a veil of secrecy, (decisions) that allow some to live and leave others to die." Olsen notes, "The FDA so far has not challenged Right to Try laws. It would be unwise to do so. If it does, it will lose twice — once in the court of law, and once in the court of public opinion." The FDA regulatory regime is based on the idea that a single centralized command-and-control government agency can make optimal decisions that affect everyone because of its unique expertise. That idea, as the success of Right to Try laws in dozens of legislatures demonstrates, is increasingly refuted by experience. It has also been refuted by the regulators themselves. Under pressure, they bent rules in the 1980s and 1990s to allow drug access to patients with AIDS, then a fatal diagnosis. More recently, under the harsh light of international publicity, the FDA allowed a physician who contracted Ebola in Liberia to take a drug that had nevereven been tested on human beings. So far as I know, there has been no serious backlash against these decisions. The logic of allowing those who face terminal illnesses and irreversible physical deteriorationto gain access to existing and tested drugs seems tomost people irrefutable. The striking and bipartisan success of Right to Try laws suggests that Americans have lost confidence in the notion that centralized regulators have unique expertise and can determine what is best for everyone. This is a major policy reform, and one that has come from outside Washington. Michael Barone ta a syndicated columnist and a

GUEST COLUMN

A Rose or racialreconciliation OXFORD, Md. — Long before there was a "Black Lives Matter" movement, there was Ruth Starr Rose — an activist artist whose paintings nearly a century ago captured the dignity and spirit of America' s black families at a time when stereotype and caricature prevailed. It is fitting that an exhibition ofher early 20th-century work should find its way this week to Baltimore and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum as the city continues to recover from the tragic death of Freddie Gray.Rose,who died in 1965,w ould have recognized the Gray incident and ensuing riots as all too familiar. As it happens, her last exhibition in Baltimore was in 1933 following the lynching of an African-American man (who had special needs) near her own family's nearby farmon Maryland's Eastern Shore.¹ tional Guard troops were sent in as civil unrest erupted. Into this &ay marched Rose. Despite death threats circulating in her area and volatility in the streets, she was determined that her exhibition proceed. Eight decades later, she's back, largely thanks to the dedication of another woman of similar spirit and experience.

Barbara Paca, art historian and worldrenowned landscape architect, began collecting Rose's work about 10 years ago, following leads wherever they took her. In one instance, she paid some dopers for Rose drawings that she'd tracked down in the attic of the house they occupied. There she also found a list of names scrawled in Rose's hand that led her to other people and paintings. The nearly 6-foot-tall, athletic Paca and her architect husband, the ever-cheerful Philip Logan, make Oxford (pop. 600) their home, along with their 14-year-old

But Tilghman's greatest friend — and alsoa central character in the epicPacaRose narrative— is 94-year-old Miss Frances" (Curtis), a petite church leader, community matriarch and descendant of Harriet Tubman. The friendship between these two is difficult to describe without a glossary of superlatives. In 2014, thenMaryland Gov. Martin OMalley issued two proclamations recognizing Tilghman and Miss Frances for the intergenerational example they set for their community. Paca's dedication to Rose's work and life has led to the largest private collectionand the majority of the exhibit — of these historically important paintings. Like Rose, Paca is a social progressive (though a staunch Republican), who was born to privilege and lineage. Both were shaped by richly integrated lives along the Eastern Shore and elsewhere and both tried through their respective talents to reshape the way people see each other. Rose did so by portraying the nobility of blacks in their daily as well as their religious lives; Paca by curating and sharing Rose's creations.

More . . troo s recommen e WASHINGTON (AP) — The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan recommended on Tuesday that President Barack Obama revise his plan and keep more than 1,000 U.S. troops in the country beyond 2016, just days after a deadly U.S. airstrike "mistakenly struck" a hospital during fierce fighting in the north. Gen. John F. Campbell told Congress that conditions on the ground have changed since Obama announced his plan in 2014 to cut the current U.S. force of 9,800to an embassy-based security contingent of about 1,000 in Kabul post2016. Obama has vowed to a war-weary nation to end the U.S. war in Afghanistan and get American troops out by the time he leaves office in January 2017. Campbell said, however, that Afghanistan remains engaged in a violent battle against the Taliban, military operations in Pakistan have pushed fighters, including those linked to al-Qaida, into eastern and northern Afghanistan and the emergence of Islamic State fighters

has further complicated the conflict. Campbell, the top commander of U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan, said that dropping to 1,000 troops would leave the United States with limited ability to train and assist the Afghan forces and even less capacity to conduct counterterrorism operations. He said the different options he has provided to his superiors are for troop levels beyond a normal embassy presence of about 1,000. Campbell refused to discuss the numbers of troops he is recommending. But when Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, asked Campbell if he thought the president should revise his troop withdrawal plan, Campbell replied: "I will stomp my foot. Yes, sir." Both Defense Secretary Ash Carter and SecretaryofStateJohn Kerry have stressed the importance of continuing counterterrorism missions in Afghani-

— A U.S. Geological Survey report out Tuesday downgrades the fracking potential of California's vast Monterey Shale oil deposits. The study is the latest to lowera 2011 federal energy estimate that billed the MontereyShale as a gamechanger for U.S. oil, with what was then estimated at

13.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil overall. Instead, the U.S. Geological Survey's new study said, the most oil-rich portion of the giant shale formation holds just 21 million barrels of oil thatcan be recovered by intensive methods, such as hydraulic fracturing,better-known as fracking.

The modest assessment has the potential to influence energy policy in California, where Gov. Jerry Brown has resisted calls from environmentalists to ban fracking. Tuesday's report looked only at the San Joaquin Basin, one of four basins that make up the 1,750-squaremile Monterey Shale formation. Upcoming USGS reports will estimate the recoverable petroleum in the other three basins. Another recent U.S. Geological Survey study estimated another 393 million barrels ofoilarerecoverable byconventional drilling in the San Joaquin basin of the Monterey Shale.

epithet toward the judge and law enforcement. The judge said he spent considerable time on the case and looked at all the evidence. "He's given numerous inconsistent statements," Smith said. He noted that the defendant took a long time — more than a minute according to testimony — to tell a 911 operator that the girl was wounded. "The 911 call just doesn't make sense," Smith said. As Smith talked about why he came to his decision, the parents occasionally glanced at one another and shook their heads. Smith said the timing of what the defendant described did not make sense as well. The boy said he heard a doorslam, then aboutfive seconds later he heard the intruder say something along the lines of "come out" and then about 10seconds laterhe said he saw the intruder leave. "It just doesn't seem possible that it happened that quickly," Smith said. After the verdict, Mark Reichel, one of theboy's attorneys,said he believes his client is innocent.

Then he said he heard Leila screaming.When he came outofa bathroom, he saw a black man with long gray hair, wearing a black shirt and blue jeans, fleeing out the back door. The boy said he briefly chased the intruder,and stopped atthehome's back door. In a 911 call the day of the murder, the defendant told the dispatcher he was in the bathroom when he heard Leila screaming. Leila had been stabbed 22 times, mostly in the chest. She also had been poked more than a dozen times with an unknown object. She was found in the bedroom of her Valley Springs home. The murder took place April 27, 2013. The boy was arrested May 11, 2013. Leila's death caused a huge outpouring of support from the community. Hundreds turned out for a vigil held in her honor. The boy stood in the front row. During the prosecution's rebuttal Tuesday, Dana Pfeil, Calaveras County deputy district attorney, acknowledged that the prosecution did not provide a motive for Leila's murder, but said that does not mean the defendant is innocent.

"Only (the boy) knows the motive for the crime," she said. "And we may never know why he did this." Contact Tori Thomas at tthomas@ uniondemocrat.corn or 5884526. Follow Irer on Ttoi tter @

Christopher' s closing Christopher's Ristorante in downtown Sonora will close its doors at the end of October. The departure of some keykitchen staff and the added responsibility of producing dinners at the City Hotel Restaurant in Columbia led to the decision to close, according the Chef Chris Segarini. "The Sonora restaurant has just completed its seventh year of operation, and we need to thank all of our past customers for making this effort possible and we invite all our friends to the new City Hotel Restaurant in Columbia," said George Segarini who, with Chris Segarini, is a partner in the City Hotel. Chris Segarini's wife, Heather, manages the What Cheer Saloon and the dining room at the City Hotel. Any outstanding gift certificates for Christopher's, if not used before the closing, will be honored at the City Hotel Restaurant in Columbia.

Dallas Lisitsin works with a drill press to polish a sheet of metal at Unique Shop Artisans in East Sonora.

Detail, history count for father-son restoration team By GUY McCARTHY The Union Democrat

Dallas and Keith Lisitsin work in East Sonora with hand tools, power-driven saws, sanders, a lathe, a router,a planerand a drillpress to restore chairs, tables, benches and other furnishings from the 1970s back to more than a century ago.

They say their aim is to recreate and respect the work of woodworkers and metalworkers from days gone by, people who put hand-made quality before profits to make original American designs that remain timeless. The Lisitsins opened their business, Unique Shop Artisans, on Via Este in Ranchos Poquitos in August. They plan to stage their grand opening Oct. 17. They say they can refinish, repurpose, restyle and repair all manner of home and business fixtures. Keith Lisitsin, 57, born in the Bay Area, says he's been doing woodwork and shop since high school, and he' s honed his skills restoring items from jewelry boxes to furniture for the past 18 years. a We like working with wood," Keith Lisitsin said Tuesday at the family shop. "The grain, the smell, especially cherry, the different types of textures. I can fix just about anything with wood, even if there's only a little bit of it left. I can research and fill in the gaps and recreate it in full."

Companies have posted a record number of job openings just when a diminished proportion of Americans are either working or looking for work. That combination ought to push up pay.

ing for the Federal Reserve, which wants to see the steady job gains of the pastseveral years translate into

higher pay. This would boost the Fed's confidence that the economy's growth is sustainable and that infiation will return to the central bank's 2 percent target. U.S. businesses certainly seem interested in hiring. There were nearly 5.8 million open jobs at the end of July, the most since record-keeping began in 2000. At the depths of the recession in 2009,that fi gure was barely above 3 million. Yet on Friday, the government's monthly jobs report showed that the percentageofpeople in the workforce — those who either have a job or are

looking for one — reached a 38-year low of 62.4 percent. Why? Because many Americans who were once unemployed have become discouraged, returned to school or chosen to stay home, in some cases to carefor relatives.Their exodus has helped shrink the unemployment rate

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

Mom desperate to find help for addicted son DEAR ANNIE: This is written in desperation. I have seven children, and my middle son, "Randall," age 57, is in the grip of psychosis. His late father was a schizophrenic who refusedtreatment and regularly beat me. I lived with him for years, not understanding what I was doing wrong, until I drew up enough courage to ask a psychiatr ist for advice.This doctor told me to leave him before he killed me. I did, and struggled raising my children. I was rarely home because I held multiple low-paying jobs, and the kids grew up in deprivation. Randall began to use cocaine in the late '80s, when people thought it was cool and didn't realize how addictive it was. He got clean in his determination to be a good father to his now-adult son. He and one of his brothers embarked on an independent business venture, and over the years were moderately successful. Unfortunately, in their last venture, the investors stole money and the business went under.

They are in court now. As a result of this upheaval, Randall has begun using meth and is behaving psychotically. His brother has had to sell his home and his savings are dwindling. He doesn't want to abandon Randall, who is now penniless and cannot support himself or his wife and young child. How can we help Randall? His insurance has lapsed and no one has the funds to get him back into rehab. My only income is social security, but my late husband was a WWII veteran. Am I eligible for any widow benefits? — FRANTIC MOM DEAR FRANTIC: Check the website for the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs (va.gov) to see whether you are eligible for sur-

services for those without insurance. But Randall must be willing togo.There are also support groups such as Families Anonymous ( f amilies anonymous.org) for those whose lives have been upended by drug-addicted loved ones.We hope Randall ean get the help he needs. DEAR ANNIE: I am responding to "Gary"about appropriate dress for a funeral. A few weeks ago, my sister-in-law died unexpectedly. She was an incredible person. She came from an Irish family, and there was a huge wake to celebrateher life.There was lots of foodand an Irish band and a bagpiper. There was storytelling about the wonderful times we each spent with

her. The celebration went on for hours. Her family discouraged wearing somber clothing. The next day, there was a memo-

rial service that was more traditional. I can honestly say that I do not remember what anyone wore to either. — CAROL DEAR CAROL: Thank you for reinforcing the idea that attending the service is more important than what you wear. The clothing one remembers tends to be outra-

geously inappropriate and calls attention to the wearer. Such outfitsshould be avoided, because they distractmourners and can cause distress to the family. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy

Alternative therapies to cancer only complimentary DEAR DR. ROACH:I wonder why you never talk about holistic measures to preventillnesses, such as cancer. I just read an article by an oncologist who said there are certain anti-cancer supplements that work, including vitamin D, magnolia extract and artichoke extract, all of which have been shown in laboratory studies to kill a variety of cancer cells, including colon, breast and liver cancers, and leukemia. Artichoke extract also contains cynarin, which decreases inflammation. Other compounds that can reduce cancer growth areblack cumin seed oiland beepropolis, which is rich in caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), chrysin and cinnamic acid — compounds that affect cancer genes. Studies show that they reduce the growth of many cancers, including colon, prostate and kidney. I' ve also read about the powerful effects that simple seasonings have on cancer cells: black pepper, sage and oregano. My question to you is: Why isn't this blasted all over the news media, and why don't physicians who can access this informa-

Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. tion tell it to their patients? — VA. ANSWER: The therapies you mention are termed "complementary" or "alternative" treatments, specifically "herbal treatments." Holistic medicine, on the other hand, aims to treat the entire person — physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Holistic medicineought tobeagoalforallproviders, since health consists of much more than mere absence of physical disease. While a physician can help with some of these aspects, it is difEcult or impossible for onepersontobeexpertin helping aperson meet all goals of wellness, which is why coll aborative careissoim portant. W ith respect to the herbal treatments you mention, and others like them, it is my opinion that these have

potential to help treat some kinds of cancer. However, I am quite convinced, after reading many studies, that none of themiscompletely effective atpreventing or curing cancer. Compounds can be very effective at killing cancer cells in a laboratory, but that is very different from killing cancer cells in a per-

If that changes, I will be among the first to spread the news. W here I believe alternative therapies have the most potential in cancer is in combination with traditional therapies:helping people feel better through chemotherapy and radiation. Some herbals, like turmeric, have solid data showing benefit in combination with chemotherapy in treating some cancers. However, finding an oncologist who has expertise in alternative treatment might not be easy. Similarly, finding an alternative medicine provider who knows enough about cancer and chemotherapy to be of value to both the

Today in history Today is Wednesday, October 7, the 280th day of 2015. There are 85 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On October 7, 1985, Palestinian gunmen hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro (ah-KEE'-leh LOW'-roh) in the Mediterranean. (The hijackers killed Leon Klinghoffer, a JewishAmerican tourist, before surrendering on October 9.) On this date: In 1849, author Edgar Allan Poe died in Baltimore at age 40. In 1929, former Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall, one of the main figures of the Teapot Dome scandal, went on trial, charged with accepting a bribe from oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny. (Fall was found guilty and sentenced to a year in prison; he served nine months. Doheny was acquitted at his own trial of offering the bribe Fall was convicted of taking.) In 1949, the Republic of East Germany was formed. In 1954, Marian Anderson became the first black singer hired by the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York. In 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy and Republican opponent Richard Nixon held their second televised debate, this one in Washington, D.C. In 1989, Hungary's Communist Party renounced Marxism in favor of democratic socialism during a

pa rty cong ress in Budapest. In 1991, University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of making sexually inappropriate comments when she worked for him; Thomas denied Hill's allegations.

BRIII partner's fantastic scheme. Let a complicated subject soak in. Add a water element. You could discuss possibilities poolside or near a river or beach. A hot tub could be especially romantic. Relax together. Libra(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Today is a 7 — Accept a challenge if it pays well. Earn extra points for the fun level of the job. Play with tweaking the technology. Invest in efficiency. Discover a stroke of brilliance and pop through to success. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Today is a 7 — Handle household chores before getting outside. An opportunity intrigues your family. Get unfiltered feedback from children. A loved one gives you a great idea. Encourage creativity. Clean old messes before making new. Take decisive action. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is an 8 — Settle into a comfortable nest and get lost in your studies. Test your theory before acting. Get alternate views. Meditation amplifies intuition. Try out new ideas in the luxury of your own home.Update your home technology. Capricorn (Dec. 22 Jan. 19):Today is a 7 — Abandon expectations and devote time to sales and marketing. An opportunity may land faster than you think. Friends teach you the rules. An intensive team effort makes the difference. Be willing to learn new tricks. Come together. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is an 8 — Grab a delectable opportunity to do what you love. Trust your imagination. Don't do it for the money ... that's not reliable, although unexpected bounty may fall. Enlist your partner's support. Follow your intuition and your heart. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):Today is a 9 — Insights develop as you work. A brilliantly artistic and cheap idea sparks. You' re especially sensitive and compassionate. Get to the heart of a controversy.

Compare before choosing dental plan Weakness, strength: By MIRIAM CROSS Kipli nger's Personal Finance

As you choose benefits during open enrollment, it's worth checking up on the coverage in your dental plan. Dental insurance is usually cheap. The most popular kind of group plan costs just $32 a month, on average, and three-fourths of employers help pay the tab, according to the National Association of Dental Plans (NADP). That cuts the average employee premium down to about halfthe original cost — or even less. But you get what you pay for. The coverage is awful. Still, if your employer subsidizes your coverage, you probably should take it, says Evelyn Ireland, executive director of the NADP. The plan likely covers routine care, such as cleanings and exams every six months, and most of the

cost of basic procedures, such as filling a cavity. But out-of-pocket costs pile up quickly with more-complicated procedures.

Aom Vikings

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have traded linebacker Gerald Hodges to the San Francisco 49ers for rookie center Nick Easton and a sixthround draft pick. Vikings general manager Rick Spielman announced the deal Tuesday. Hodges, a backup outside linebacker in Minnesota's 4-3 scheme his first two seasons, was the starter this season at middle linebacker in the base defense. Rookie Eric Kendricks replaced him in the nickel package, though. Kendricks has developed enough that the Vikings considered Hodges expendable at a position of depth. The Vikings traded a sixth-round pick for guard Jeremiah Sirles, so they got one back. Easton was acquired by the 49ers in a deal with the Baltimore Ravens last month.

CB Amersonfinds job with Raiders ALAMEDA (AP)Veteran cornerback David Amerson looks backon theW ashington Redskins' decision to cut him less than a month into the season and can' t help but smile. A former secondround draft pick who lost his starting job in training camp andwas inactive for Washington's Week 2 win over St. Louis, Amerson has bounced back fairly well since being claimed off waivers by Oakland in late September. The 23-year-old defensive back was on the field for all but two plays duding last week's loss to Chicago and is expected to make his second consecutive start Sunday when the Raiders host PeytonManning and the Denver Broncos. In Amerson's view, his arrival in California was meant to be. "It's a fresh startand I'm doing everything in my power to make it work," Amerson said Tuesday. "As long as I'm making 100 percent effort to do everything to the best of my ability, it was meant for me to come here." That Amerson is starting in the NFLs 31st-ranked secondary after being drummed out of Washington is a sign both of how desperate the Raiders were for help and how eager Amerson was to get his fledgling career back on track. Oakland is giving up more than 310 yards per game through the air, much of them coming from tight ends who have gouged the Raiders down the middle all season.

months back. "With that diet "naro you have to kind of be creative," the new Golden State guard said. "At that time I had a chef so it was a little bit easier." Gordon is back to a more "normal" diet as the season gets underway and he looks to play a part on the defending NBA champions. He is eating meat again to gain back some of the weight he lost as a vegan for about the final six weeks of the season last spring and several weeks of the offseason. He needed a bit more strength to handle the rigors of an NBA schedule, yet his energy increased on the diet and he felt "a lot lighter and faster." The 6-foot-2 Gordon got down to hi s h igh school weight of 185, but noticed he wasn't quite as strong and built himself back up to his typical playing weight at around 200 pounds. "I experimented with that this summer and throughout the end of last season," he said. "As you get older you try to see different things that work for you.

changes. For a coach that has yet to lose a set in nearly two years in the Mother Lode League, she remains the most serious and focused person in the gym. When the ball hit the hardwood inside Bud Castle Gym for the 25th and final point of the third set, and Sonora completed the three set sweep of the Bret Harte Bull&ogs, Evans let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "I am very excited with the way we played tonight," Evans said. uWe've been practicing really hard for specifically this match. There were certain things that we worked on that I felt we executed very, very well. I think our mental preparation and physical preparation paid off tonight." Heading i nt o T u esday night's clash, Bret Harte was tied for second place in the MLL at 3-1, two games behind a perfect 5-0 Sonora.

" I t hink w e j u s t h a d some mental things to work through," said Bret Harte coach Jessica Delgado. "It wasn't intimidation because our girls were really excited to play Sonora.

MLB Kershaw to start Game 10f NLDS LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers have set their pitching rotation for the firstthree games of their best-of-five NL playoff series against the New York Mets. Clayton Kershaw will start Game 1 on Friday at Dodger Stadium, as expected, against Jacob deGrom. Zack Greinke will take the mound for Game 2 on Saturday against Mets rookie Noah Syndergaard, followed by l eft-hander Brett Anderson against Matt Harvey in Game 3 back in New York on Monday. The Dodgers announced their r otation Tuesday a few hours after their workout, which featured a simulated game thrown by various pitchers, including Anderson and relievers Carlos Frias, Joel Peralta and Juan Nicasio. Kershaw threw a bullpen session. It's uncertain who would startfor the Dodgers if a fourth game is needed. Kershaw could be brought back on three days' rest, which he has done twice before in his career.

The league is so much about being in the right situation, being with the right group of guys that mesh with your talents and skills.

"Idon'tknow,butwedoknow what we can control and that is winning each week," Kelly said Tuesday. "So what we really talked about is we have no margin for error.

Lek guard Josh Garnett, who plans on a career in medicine following his football days, earned the honor through his ability to help spring running backs like Christian McCaf&ey and protect quarterback Kevin Hogan to the tune of 452.6 offensive yardspergame, divided fairly evenly between rushing (209.8) and passing (242.8). The preseason All-America and team captain made an immediate impact at Stanford (4-1, 3-0 Pac-12), becoming the first freshman to start on the ofFensive line in 12 years, replacing David DeCastro, an NFL first-round draft pick in his fourth season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's been compared favorably with DeCastro, a two-time All-America. "David is in rarefied air," Cardinal coach David Shaw said Tuesday at his weekly press conference. "Let' s give Josh this season at least. The one thing is Josh is getting to play consistently at a high level. He has a high ceiling and he's not there yet." Garnett (6-5, 321) is particularly adept at getting out on screens and

pulling on run plays to confront linebackers. As for the comparison to DeCastro? "He's one of the greats," Garnett said. "If I can be close to him, I'd be happy" Stanford is in a bye week, with preparations for a Thursday night game against No. 20 UCLA in the early stages. Shaw said the bye week came at a good time. The defensive line is beat up and Hogan is still bothered by an

ankle sprain suffered three weeks ago against Southern California. Defensive end Nate Lohn and outside linebacker Kevin Anderson both missed Saturday's game and Anderson remains questionable for

the Bruins. "I anticipate Kevin Hogan being closerto 100 percent," Shaw said. "WeH take it easy with him this week. HeH continue to rehab and rest. I'm looking forward to him having a full week of practice." Garnett said he'd like to work in the emergency room when his career is over. "I like the rush," he said. "Just like football you all have to work together in a high-paced environment and yet you haveto becalm and relaxed." The block by backup quarterback Keller Chryst, the son of San Francisco 49ers off ensive coordinator Geep Chryst, that flattened Arizona cornerback Cam Denson (5-11, 168) remains a hot topic. Chryst (6-5, 233) was the lead blocker on a reverse play that had been put in that week. "I talked to him before the game," Garnett said. "He told me 'I don' t want to miss.' I told him to just go right through him, don't hesitate."

Stats show 'icing' kickers has been mow effective this year

but statistics show it's been particularly effective so far this year. When a coach has called a timeout this season just before an opponent has tried a potential tying or go-ahead field goal in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, kickers have gone on to make just 36.8 percent(7 of 19)of their attempts, according to STATS. That's significantly down from previous seasons. Kickers had made 81.8percent oftheirattempts (18 of 22) in those circumstances in 2012, 64 percent (16 of 25) in 2013, and 80 percent(28 of 35)last season. The stats were from games involving at least one Football Bowl Subdivision team. The wide disparity in those annual percentages shows how much a game of chance "icing" has become in an era when every kicker expects it to happen. "It's a coin flip basically," Arizona kicker Casey Skowron said. Skowron's track record exemplifies that. Arizona lost to Southern California28-26 last year because the Trojans called timeout just before he made a potential game-winning field goal, and he missed his second attempt. Later that season, Washington called a timeout just before Skowron missed a field goal in the closing seconds, and he made his second try to give Arizona a 2726 triumph. STATS doesn't have numbers to indicate how own the strategy has backfired because a kicker missed
