Tuolumne Coun leaders back CCWD request for Melones storage By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

nes Reservoir ,saying the additional storage would provide a much-needed backup source for the region. A contract would allow CCWD to storeup to 100,000 acre-feet ofthe distri ct' swater released from Spicer Reservoir in the federally owned New Melones, which is located farther downstream on the Stanislaus River. The Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved sending a letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, in support of CCWD's request. "Approval will provide flexibilitytocapture and access water in a lower elevation reservoir (a storage option not currently available) before flowing to downstream communities and water systems, thereby enhancing regional water system resilience," the letter stated. "We very much appreciate the support of the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors," said CCWD spokesman Joel Metzger. "It means a lot that they would take that action." At a hearing scheduled for today in Washington, D.C., Feinstein is anticipated to discuss CCWD's request for a contract under the Warren Act, a 1911 law that authorizes the conveyance and storage of water in federal facilities when excess capacity exists. Metzger said that CCWD General Manager Dave Eggerton, District 1 Director Scott Ratterman and District 2 Director Terry Strange are in Washington, D.C., to advocate for the contract at the hearing. Tuolumne County could beneflt &om the additi onal storage by potentially purchasing water &om CCWD if needed. "If we have the ability to store water released &om Spicer Reservoir, which is well upstream of Melones, that would be a huge asset not just to Calaveras County but alsoour neighbor across the riverin Tuolumne County," Metzger said. Unlike CCWD, which holds both

New Melones Reservoir could provide additional storage for the Calaveras County Water District if its Warren Act request is approved. pre-1914and post-1914 water rights, Tuolumne County doesn't own a single drop of the nearly 2 million acrefeet of water that surges through the Stanislaus and Tuolumne watersheds on average each year. Tuolumne Utilities District can pump water from New Melones using an old pump system installed by theSonora Mining Co. anddeeded to TUD's predecessor in the 1980s as a conditionofthe county'sapprovalof the mining operation. However, TUD also doesn't own any water rights on the Stanislaus River system that feeds New Melones Reservoir — instead, relying almost solely on a contract with Paciflc Gas and Electric Co. for water &om the South Fork Stanislaus River that's stored in Pinecrest and Lyons reservoirs.

In the past, TUD has drawn some water &om New Melones by exercising the two 350-horsepower pumps to keep the Columbia-area &om going dry during annual ditch outages for maintenance. The Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California also brokered a deal in 2014 with the South San Joaquin Irrigation District for up to 2,400 acre-feet of water that year out of New Melones for TUD. The district ended up only using a small portion after the state temporarily relieved some regulations on PG&E's smaller upstream reservoirs.

Pumping costs alone for water out of New Melones are approximately $300 an acre-foot, making it significantly more expensive than the free supply TUD receives &om

PG&E each year. The district, which serves roughly 44,000 residents, goes through about 17,000 acre-feet a year on average. A $270,000expansion of Matelot Reservoir near Columbia was completedin summer 2014 to provide water for the area without the need for the pumps, which can only reach the water when the level at New Melones is above 862 feet in elevation. The water level at New Melones dipped below 862 feet in August 2014, and was 798 feet as of Tuesday. The pumps were also buried by mud earlier this year during lateseason rainstorms,according to TUD District Engineer Erik Johnson. However, the low water levels allowed TUD crews to dig the pumps out. Whether the pumps will work when water gets high enough again remains to be seen, Johnson said. Still, Rodefer was optimistic about thepotential access to additional water that could help to relieve pressure on the upper-end of TUD's system during prolonged drought periods and supply the Cal Fire Air Attack Base in Columbia. "It doesn't cost us anything right now," he said. "I think it's a win-win for us and CCWD." Also at Tuesday's meeting, the board approved a contractwith Chester Bross Construction Co. based in Hannibal, Missouri, to reconstructa 1.24-mile portion of Parrotts Ferry Road in Columbia for $798,128, roughly $406,000 less than the county's estimate for the project.

The latest budget deficit numbers — for the fiscal year that just ended — find that the deficit has fallen by $1 trillion since Obama's tragic first term. The deficit is still near half a trillion, but the hole is a lot smaller than it was before the Tea Party's spontaneous combustion happened back in 2009. This was a movement about saving America from itself. Tea Party members are homemakcollege students and blue-collar workers. They generally don't want anything from government. At the 9-12 rally in Washington a few years ago an activist from Florida explained to me what his goal was: "All we want from government is less of it." They wanted a lot less of it from a president and a Congress who kept dispensing trillions more. The media portrayed the Tea Party as a spoiled three-year-old throwing a temper tantrum. The left pilloried these patriots, offensively calling them "Tea Baggers," racists and crazies. But who was crazy? In two years — 2009 and 2010 — Barack Obama and his accomplices, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and thenMajorityLeader Harry Reid,managed to borrow about $2.5 trillion. These fiscal Three Stooges called this volcano of debt a stimulus to the economy. It didn't work, and the unemployment rate was higher than it would have been without the borrowing blitz — by their own admission. The Tea Party, more than any other political organization, sprang into action with the singleminded purpose of forcing an end to this spending orgy. Spending has fallen over a three-year period from 2011-2014 for the first time since Joe DiMaggio roamed center field for the New York Yankees. This is all the more impressive because government spending for Obamacare is soaring. This means every dollar that has been spent on this new entitlement program has been offset by a dollarofcuts elsewhere. It'salso worth giving creditto retiring House Speaker John Boehner. It was Boehner who forced Obama toaccept tight spending caps as part of the fiscal cliff budget deal. This was one of the best deals taxpayers had seen in a long time. Boehner refused to accept Obama's tax hike proposals, which could have plunged the economy back into recession. The budgetnumbers of the U.S. government are, ofcourse, still dire.The debt has toppled $18 trillion, and soon we will bump up against another debt ceiling with the spending lobby demanding an increase in the congressional credit

GUEST COLUMN

In twilight of presidency, hope remains Seven years ago, months before he won the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama delivered a speech about race. Celebratedby many and derided by some, itaddressed head-on the role of race in his campaign. At the time, I was most struck by his willingness to acknowledge those white Americans who objected to the very notion that the color oftheir skin affords them privileges deniedto people ofcolor. "Most working- and middle-class white Americans don't feel that they' ve been particularly privileged by their race," Obama said. "Their experience is the immigrant experience. As far as they' re concerned, no one handed t hem anything. They built i t f r o m scratch. They' ve worked hard all their lives, many times only to see their jobs shipped overseas or their pensions dumped after a lifetime of labor. They are anxious about their futures, and they feel their dreams slipping away. And in an era of stagnant wages and global competition, opportunity comes to be seen as a zero-sum game, in which your dreams come at my expense. "So when they are told to bus their

dream of a more unified America was just that, an illusion. Her story addresses the disappointments of some black Americans. "In a country whose basic genetic blueprint includes the same crooked mutations that made slavery and Jim Crow possible, it is not possible to have a black president surrounded by black aides on Marine One without paying a price. And the price that Obama has had to pay — and, more important, that African-Americans have had to pay — is one of caution, moderation, and at times compromised policies: The first black president could do only so much, and say only so much, on behalf of other African-Americans. That is the bittersweet irony of the

Only a white columnist with out-ofcontrol hubris would suggest she or he could speak to the disappointment some black Americans may feel in the presidency of Barack Obama. I can, however, admit to heartbreak over how it's played out in the hearts and minds of white Americans. Too many of us continue to see issues of race tobe a problem for only the socalled black community. As if theywe loveto refertoblack people as"they" ment. and "them" — were a country-within-aOn that day, I could not see him country,in a land far,far away. standing in front of that bridge and feel As for white privilege?

race on my Facebook page, which is public. Every time, I'm reminded that the unwillingness of some white Americans to acknowledge the inherent privilegeof their race is as strong and stubborn as it was when Obama gave that speech in 2008. The most vocal objections, via email and socialmedia posts, come from a certain group of white men. They hear "privilege" and think of the wealth and power that have eluded them for all of their lives. They cannot see an advantage in the color of their skin because of their certainty of all that they have lost or will never have. Around and around we go. Earlier this year, I sat in the audience in Selma, Alabama, as Obama took the stage to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the bloodymarch forcivilrightsacrossthe Edmund Pettus Bridge. The visual of the bridge behind him was striking, and his speech was something only our first black president could have delivered: "Our march is not yet finished. But we' re getting closer. Two hundred and thirty-nine years after this nation's founding, our union is not yet perfect. But we are getting closer. Our job' s easierbecause somebody already got us through that first mile. Somebody already got us over that bridge. When it feels the road's too hard, when the torch we' ve been passed feels too heavy, we will remember these early travelers and draw strength from their example." Ultimately, we can speak only to the contents of our own hearts. On that day in Selma, I could not hear Barack Obama's words and feel disappoint-

Alas, we may need the Tea Party to take to the streetsagain. Republicans are set to negotiate a budget deal with the White House that could bust through budget caps and spend an extra $75 billion, which will reverse hard-earned progress.

Connie Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-

winning columnist.

Rep. Tom Price, the House Budget Committee chairman and a consistent fiscal superstar for

taxpayers, is fighting to keep the spending tides from crashing over the budget act ceilings, but he's outnumbered even inside his own party. In

Washington, the urge to play Santa Claus is still truly bipartisan. But let's hope the history books get the Tea Party chapter right. These weren't a bunch of angry white males organized by the Koch brothers to protect industry. This was and still is a save-America crusade as impactful as the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, and the anti-tax activism of the 1970s. They arrived just in time, and America still needs them.

FONTANA — FBI agents dug up more than $500,000 on Wednesday &om the backyard of a Southern California home where an armored truck driver who admitted stealing $1 million had once lived. The money, in the form of $20 and $100 bills, was found inside a trash bin buried in the backyard of the Fontana home, FBI spokesman Laura Eimiller said. Cesar Yanez, who lived in the home, pleaded guilty in August to conspiracy and bank robbery for the 2014 heist of a Loomis armored truck. The 38-year-old former Loomis driver was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison. His fellow driver, Aldo Vega, 28, ofPomona, also pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing. At the time of Yanez's sentencing, only $115,000 had been recovered,most of it from theFontana house,and U.S. District Judge Otis D. Wright II said he suspected Yanez knew where the rest was hidden.

A well-known social media journalist was found guilty Wednesday of conspiring with th e h acking group Anonymous to break into the Los Angeles Times' website and alter a story. Matthew Keys, 28, of Vacaville, was convicted of giving the group the login credentials to The Tribune Co.'s computer system. The company owns the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun and other media companies. He was fired by Tribuneowned FOX affiliate KTXI TV i n S a cramento two months before the Times' website was hacked, and federalprosecutors in Sacramento say he wanted pay-

back. He was fired by the Reuters news agency after charges were filed in 2013. Prosecutors say a hacker used the login information that Keys posted in an Internet chat room to gain access to the Times' computer system and alter a December 2010 story. They say Keys encouraged the hacking and praisedthe results. His attorneys contended that any alteration was a relatively harmless prank that did not merit charges carrying a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in federal prison. As a first-time offender,prosecutorssay Keys will face far less time at his Jan. 20 sentencing. Tor Ekeland, one of the defense attorneys, said in an

email that Keys will appeal. "Although this case has drawn attention because of Matthew Keys' employment in the news media, this was simply a case about a disgruntled employee who used his technical skills to taunt and torment his former employer," U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner said in a state-

ment.

Court documents say the hacking cost Tribune nearly $18,000 for the 333 hours that employees spent responding to the hack. But Keys' attorneys said restoring the original headline, byline and first paragraphs of the story took less than an hour and the cost falls below the $5,000loss required to make the violation a felony.

Clinton opposes Pac Rim trade deal MOUNT VERNON, Iowa — Hillary Rodham Clinton says she opposes the big Pacific Rim trade accord backed by President Barack Obama. The Democratic presidential candidate said in an interview with PBS there are too many "unanswered questions" about the Trans-Pacific Partnership. She says, "What I know about it as of today, I am notin favor." The free trade deal backed by the administration has been opposed by liberal Democrats and labor unions. C linton helped lay t h e foundation for the deal as Obama's secretary of state. She joins Democratic rivals Bernie Sanders and Martin O' Malley who warn it could lead to lost American jobs.

Gannett Co.buys media group$280M MILWAUKEE — Gannett Co. has reached an agreement to acquire newspaper com-

pany Journal Media Group for $280 million, giving the media giant control of publications in more than 100 local markets in the U.S., company officials announced Wednesday evening. Journal Media publications dot the Midwest and South and include the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Memphis (Tennessee) Commercial-Appeal and Knoxville (Tennessee) News Sentinel. Industry experts say the publications are a natural fit for Gannett's strategy of maximizing short-term profits through managing the decline of publications in less competitive markets. "prevailing Gannett's

strategyis economy ofscale," which involves reducing local costsand consolidating or regionalizing many operations, analyst Ken Doctor said. Gannett's flagship publication is USA Today, and it has used that publication's staff to produce national content for its local products. Gannett this summer became a company that runs newspapers exclusively, having moved all of its television companies into a separate company, Tegna Inc.

PM plans to lead Greece out of crisis ATHENS, G r eece Greece's leftwing prime minister easily won a confidence vote early Thursday, and pledged to usher the bailoutreliant country out of its financial crisis by 2019, mitigating creditor-mandated austerity with support for the poor. Alexis Tsipras' governing coalition received the backing of all 155 of its lawmakers in the 300-seat parliament, with all opposition members voting against. Earlier, Tsipras told lawmakers that his newly-elected government expects to be able to tap bond markets in early 2017 — a key condition for Greece to make ends meet without further rescue loans from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund. Tsipras' speech concluded a three-day debate on his policy platform. Tsipras was elected on a four-yearmandate Sept. 20, despite ditching the antiausterity rhetoric that first got him elected in January. He has now pledged to implement all tax hikes, income cuts and economic reforms he agreed to in July to secure a third bailout for Greece worth 86 billion euros. — The Associated Press

Investi ation called for in Kunduz GENEVA (AP) — Doctors Without Borders called Wednesday for an independent fact-finding mission to investigate a U.S. airstrike on its hospital in Afghanistan that killed at least 22 people. The group, which believes Saturday' s airstrike in Kunduz may have been a war crime, appealed to the U.S.,Afghanistan and other countries to mobilize a little-known commission to look into the tragedy. The aid group, known by its French language acronym MSF, says it above allwants to ensure respect for international humanitarian law after the most

deadly airstrike in its history. A dozen MSF staffers and 10 patients were killed in the hospital airstrike amid fighting between Afghan government forces and Taliban rebels in the northeastern city. The U.S. military has already vowed to conduct an investigation and says the airstrike was a mistake. MSF International President Joanne

Liu called for an impartial and independent probe into the attack, "particularly given the inconsistencies in the U.S. and Afghanaccountsofwhat happened over recent days. "We cannot rely on only internal military investigations by the U.S., NATO and Afghan forces," she said. U.S. President Barack Obama telephoned LiuWednesday and apologized forthe attack. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama offered condolences to the group's staff and pledged a "transparent, thorough and objective accounting of the facts." "When the United States makes a mistake, we own up to it, we apologize where appropriate, and we are honest about what transpired," Earnest said. He described the call as a "heartfelt apology." U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon received a letter from MSF about its demand, and U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Ban is "always in favor of

accountability, and he looks forward to a transparent and impartial investigation of what happened in the hospital in Kunduz."

MSF wants to mobilize the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission, based in the Swiss capital, Bern. It is made up of diplomats, legalexperts,doctorsand some former military officials from nine European countries, including Britain and Russia. Created after the Gulf War in 1991, the commission has never deployed a fact-finding mission. Liu said MSF is "working on the assumption of a possible war crime," but said its real goal is to establish facts about the incident and the chain of command, and clear up the rules of operation for all humanitarian organizations in conflict zones. The strike "was not just an attack on our hospital, it was an attack on the Geneva Conventions. This cannot be tolerated," she told reporters Wednesday.

"He couldn't organize a sandwich, let alone a mass shooting," she said. Sharon Gianelli, a former teacher of the same boy, shared many of Barrett' s feelings about deep-seated "anger issues," but feels there are underlying issues that need to be addressed. "He was shunned by peers, and would often eat lunch alone," Gianelli said "I'm just here to show him there's someone who cares." Dr. Dante Sanchez, a licensed clinical social worker specializing in the study of the criminal mind but who is not involved in the boys' cases, said too quick a return to their homes could be unsafe for the boys. "People who have a high potential to commit violence, also have a high potential for suicidal tendencies. Es-

pecially being this age and feeling like they' re in serious trouble," said Sanchez, who has 25 years of experience and has worked with juvenile to adult prisoners. The home they return to also should be deemed safebefore release, Sanchez said. Sanchez also said each individual needs to be looked at on a case-by case basis. Sanchez said she could only guess on possible motives, which could range from underlying mental health issues to peer pressure. ''We don't know if you had a kid that was kind of a loner and hooked up with a group of kids who took him." she said. "Obviously they feel alienated in the community and school they' re in, and they' re likely going to lash out at the people they feel forced to come see every day."

By m i d -August, t h e Clark-Skidmore mules were dying, wagons were going to pieces and the men were half-starved, Malo said. Morehead told the party they were just one day from Sonora, so he would take seven men to get more pro-

According to the Clampers, in early summer 1853, George W.

"Convincing the group to take the Sonora Route, he was nearly lynched when the going got tough," the Clampers' plaque states.

A plaque at Mono Way and Greenley Road in Sonora, dedicated by the Oregon-California Trails Association and the Matuca Chapter E Clampus Vitus in February 1996, does not mention Patrick. That summer about 600 wagons, 2,400 emigrants and 19,000 head ofcattle used the Walker River route to Sonora. But word got around. The trail was all but abandoned bythe mid1850s.

SMOKING Continued from Page A1 smoke downtown. Unlike bigger, urban locations, Angels Camp does not have regulations that limit where people arepermitted to s moke other than t h e places prohibited by federaland state law — areas such as farmers mar-

kets, children's locations or on government-owned property, Reesman said. "What our state has done, isthey've left it up to each municipality to determine how they want to adopt the individual smoking l aws" said Reesman. "For example, Santa C lara C ounty, M a r in County, San Francisco, all of those counties have had smoke-free air policies in place for years now. But in smaller, rural counties, you don' t get that." That may soon change for the city to which the American Lung A ssociation gave an "F" grade regarding th e g overnment's actions against secondhand smoke and other tobacco control measures.

On Tuesday, Reesman and ASAP p r esented the AngelsCamp Smoke Free Air Ordinance to the city during a City Council meeting. "It b a sically a l l ows those who don't want to

inhale toxic secondhand smoke tobe able to avoid it," said Reesman. "People who choose to smoke or use tobacco products will simply have to do it in a manner that isn' t poisoning other people." The ordinance intends to limit cigarette smoke and itseffect by requiring 20-feetof space bet ween a s m oker a n d someone who may not want to be exposed to it. Reesman says if the smoke doesn't affect anyone, it would be OK. "They can smoke in their car and leave their materials in their car," said Reesman. "If they are sufficient

d i s t ance

away from other people to be able to do that, (they will be able to)." Under t h e An g e ls Camp Smoke Free Air Ordinance, violators will receive a citation or ticket. H owever, R eesman

thinks the ordinance will create a mindful type of p hilosophy within t h e c ommunity, similar t o what has been seen in

Manhattan Beach after the city passed its comprehensive smoke-free resolution.

"Usually, when someo ne lights u p , w h e n someone else tells them, 'hey we' re a smoke free city,' they say, 'oh, I didn' t know,' and put it out," said Reesman. "It's really intended to be self-

policing." Though the ordinance is in the early phases of the i mplementation process, Reesman says she hopes to see movement with the ordinance — that the council will review and research for more information — by 2016. "We would like to see a comprehensive policy in place by 2016." said Reesman. As of today,there is no plan in place for a countywide smoke-free ordinance. But Reesman says she hopes the plan will extend throughout Calaveras County, which also received an "F" grade from the ALA, at some point in the future. "We' re all volunteers, so right now we' re working with the city of Angels Camp," said Reesman. "It would begreat if the county Board of S upervisors hear t h i s and jump on board. We would certainly be willing to make available all of our resources to

them." Contact Calaveras County reporter Jason Conan at jcotoan@ uniondemocrat.corn or

Peggy Rourke-Nichols, of Arnold, has a latex allergy and packs a variety of medications and medical supplies with her every time she leaves home.

room on the back of either to list all of her allergies so, in an emergency, medical professionals must call the number on the jewelry to get a fax report of everythmg. Rourke-Nichols knows most ambulanceand emergency department staff by name in both Calaveras and Tuolumne counties. Luckily for Rourke-Nichols, both local hospitals are latex safe. Should anyone not know about her allergies, her world is filled with reminders. Emblazoned on the back window of her 1999 Chevy Blazer, chosen over a newer car becauseitwa slatex and soy safe,are the words: "STOP!!! Latex Allergy." New cars have soy in the dash, and she's allergic to the proteins in soy,

The retired nurse has made it her mission to make people aware of all the ways latex is in our everyday world, to raise awareness of what it' s like for people with life-threatening allergies. "If you' re allergic to bees, you can see them, so you don't go into meadows," Rourke-Nichols said. "You can' t see latex." "I do this (awareness work), to m ake it betterfor everyone else," Rourke-Nichols said. Rourke-Nichols, 59, carries around an arsenal of medications and medical supplies when she leaves her home in Arnold. She's got all of her eight medications she takes daily, four epi-pens, a nebulizer, an extra-large fanny

pack full of latex-free supplies for paramedics (including an oral airway and intubation tube), nitrile gloves, a breathing mask (which doesn't block banana scent, so it doesn't work at the grocery store) and more. She wears a Medic Alert bracelet and necklace, but there's not enough

too.

A signatthetop ofthe stairsto her house tells visitors: "Please no nut,rubber latex,peanut,or fragrance! Thank you for respecting our household." In addition to her medical bags on outings, Rourke-Nichols carries with her a list of her known food and drug allergies — she's allergic to 40 to 50

under i m m ense

foodsand atleast20 me dications. When Rourke-Nichols had an allergy screening done, she was allergic to 72 of the 92 possible allergens. Minor exposure to latex or other allergens makes her ears itch, her eyes water and her head spin. A little more can make her wheeze and cough and her voice gets scratchy. Touching an allergic substance would, eventually, send her into anaphylactic shock. She carries a highlighted protocol list from her Stanford allergist that tells her at what point she needs to go to the emergency room. On Tuesday, while in a Sonora latex-safe restaurant, Rourke-Nicholsstarted to feel like her throat was closing &om some unknown irritant (probably this reporter), so she used her inhaler. Twenty minutes later, she took some Benadryl. If that didn't work, her next step would have been the ER. It wasn't always this way.

are injected into the ground during hydraulic fracturing, no one is currently held accountable for the amount and/ortype ofchemicals being used. In fact, in another "believe it or not" moment, in May 2014, the North Carolina Senate voted to make it a crime to disclose the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing. (It is public knowledge that some of the chemicals the industry uses include: hydrochloric acid; magnesium oxide; isopropanol; methanol; formic acid; petroleum; boric acid; and zirconium.) The AMA wants the opposite — for government agencies torecord and monitor these chemicals with a focus on the effect of human exposure to them. That way, doctors will know what they are dealing with when it comes time to treat patients who may have health problems related to the distribution of those chemicals. Let the AMA (and your representatives) know that you support their initiative, and if you live near a fracking site, get a good water filter NOW. We recommend a charcoal

filter on all water you use, whether it's for drinking or making coffee or soup.

Detailed in an internal document, t h e cus t omer-friendly changes to HealthCare.gov are still being tested. With the start of 2016 open enrollment season approaching,the Obama administrationexpects that some 10 million Americans still uninsured but eligible for coverage will be a tougher sell. The changes involve HealthCare.gov's window-shopping feature,a popular part ofthe websit e that allows consumers to browse

Nov. 1. Many consumers have found the process overwhelming. Previously, it could take considerable digging to find out plan details. Now consumers would be able toenter their doctors, hospitals and medications as they browse online. When they go to compare plans, they would see whether those doctors, hospitals and drugs are covered. (Tip: The system may not be perfect when they flip the switch. Call doctors and insurers to verify provider and hospital listings. And make sure to enter the correct name of any medications. For example, if it's a generic drug, enter the generic name.) The revamped website will also have a feature that helps people get arough estimate of expected total costs.

About 10 million people are getting subsidized privatecoverage through federaland state markets created by Obama's health care law.

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 call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.corn

Wife worried over husband's online affairs DEARANNIE: I read you on Facebook and hope you can help. My husband and I have been married for two years, after living together for five. We have four beautiful children. Things were going well until we moved into our new home. It's as if we suddenly became strangers. We barely spoke to eachother.Hekeptalotofsecretsand lied about everything. I started snooping around and found out he was having two online afFairs. I confronted him, and he became angry, as if it were my fault. He made me feel terrible, so I let him walk all over me and was miserable. He claims these "affairs"were the same aslooking atpornography, but he's wrong. I know one of these women, and they were bothsend-

women. These things would justify giving him another chance. But he still hasn't explained or replaced the missing money (this is a huge red fl ag)and, obviously,you don't fully believe that he will remain faithful down the road. This is why counseling is so important. Pleaseask your husband togo with you to see a professional who can help him understand why his behavior isso damaging, and work on ways for you to trust him again. As always, if he refuses to go with you, go alone. D EAR ~ : I r ead t he letter from "Know the Difference Between You' re and Your," who worked part-time as aproofreader and media relations contact for a good friend who didn't like to have her grammar or spelling corrected.

Smoking is a major risk factor for bladder cancer DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband has cancer in his bladder. It was found when he was having his prostate checked. He asked the doctor what caused it. My husband used to smoke and drink in his younger years and was told that those probably took a toll on his bladder. He has had outpatient surgery to remove the cancer and two small masses have returned. It has been one year since his first surgery. He has tried some herbal treatments horn his acupuncturist, and they did not work. He is now having a second surgery, and the doctoris going to testthe tumors to see if he can take some kind of medication to keep them from coming back.— N.M. ANSWER: It is likely that your husband has urothelial carcinoma, the most common form of bladder cancer in the United States and Canada. It is much more common in men than in women, and smoking is a major risk factor, roughly quadrupling the risk of cancer. Some of the toxicchemicals in cigarette smoke are absorbed through the lungs, then

possible at the time of diagnosis during cystoscopy (a fairly minor surgery done with an instrument placed into the bladder through the penile urethra in men or vaginal urethra in women). Your husband had more than one cancer at the time of diagnosis, which put him at higher risk for recurrence. Now that he has recurred, his surgeon is likely to again remove whatcan be removed during cystoscopy.

I suspect that your husband will be offered BCG, a weakened bacterial strain that stimulates the body's immune system to get rid of the cancer. It reduces the likelihood that the cancer will return or progress, and reduces the need for further procedures or for chemotherapy.

Raiders'Smith pleads not guilty

8 sl

SANTA CLARA (AP) — Prosecutors in Northern California say Oakland Raiders linebacker Aldon Smith has pleaded not guilty to hit and run, drunken driving and vandalism. Santa Clara County District Attorney spokeswoman Cynthia Sumida said Wednesday that Smith's attorney entered the not guilty pleas on his client's behalf on Sept. 29. The 25-year-old Smith was arrested in August in Santa Clara on drunken driving charges while a member of the San Francisco 49ers. In a separate incident, Smith was arrested on April 13, 2014, at Los Angeles International Airport. Police said Smith was randomly selected for a secondary screening and became uncooperative with the process, telling a TSA agent that he had a bomb. No charges were filed.

Yet here he still is in his 18th season, ignoring a bangedup shoulder that limits his practice time and his tackling ability and still grinding away for the Oakland Raiders with the energy of a much younger player. "I never looked that far into the future to say I'd play past 10 years," Woodson said Wednesday on his 39th birthday. "To be at 18, man, it' s amazing even to me. I think

Sacramento's Rudy Gay led all scorers with 30 points and DeMarcus Cousins added 15, all in the first half as the Kings took a 53-52 lead. Leuer's' two free throws gave the Suns a 100-96 lead with 2:06 to go.

Arrieta, Cubs silence Pirates in NL wild card PITISBURGH (AP) Maybe it's time to stop treating the Chicago Cubs like they' re too young to be here. The stage they seemingly weren't ready for now seems

hardly big enough to contain them. Not with Jake Arrieta dealing. Not with a group of 20-somethings in the field that play with swagger and confidence. Not with a manager adept at keeping the minds of his rapidly maturing team decidedly clutter-free. Watch out baseball, the Cubs — yes, the Cubs — are ahead of schedule. And the timetable only seems to be picking up speed for Joe Maddon's bunch. Arrieta allowed four hits in nine dominant innings and Chicago rolled to a 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL wild-card game on Wednesday night. A r rieta struck out 11 without a walk. He also dusted himself ofF getting plunked by Pittsburgh reliever Tony Watson to send the Cubs to the NL Division Series in St. Louis starting on Friday. "I'm exhausted. I haven' t felt this way all year," said Arrieta, who led the majors with 22 wins. This atmosphere, the energy was unbelievable. Tried to use it to the best of my ability. They were loud,

"Jake told me when we talked last night, he said, You give me a few runs, I'm good, Fowler said. "And I said, 'All right, bro, we' ll see what we can do."' The largest crowd ever at PNC Park failed to rattle Arrieta or one ofbaseball's youngest teams, one that looked right at home while snapping a nine-game playofF losing streak that dated to the 2003 NL Championship Series. "You don't think that these guys are 21, 23 years old, because they don't play like it," Arrieta said. 'They have elevated their play to a level that' s beyondtheiryears,and it'sone of the big reasons we' re here." Sounds a lot like the Houston Astros, by the way. They opened this year's postseason Tuesday night by winning the AL wild-card game at Yankee Stadium. Pittsburgh was knocked out after finishing second in the majors with 98 victories this year.

He has two interceptions, sealing a Week 3 win in Cleveland with one and setting up a late,go-ahead score lastweek in Chicago with the 62nd of his career. The Raiders ended up losing that game when the Bears kicked a late field goal. Only DarrellGreen and Clay Matthews Sr. have intercepted passes at an older age than Woodson. "When I was 39, I was the head coach at that time, my first year," Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said."I thought I could still do it, but he's doing it. It' s

pretty impressive to see what he's done." Like Woodson, Manning is not quite the same player he was in his prime but he is still quite successful. He has the Broncos at the top of the AFC West once again and is growing more comfortable by the week in coach Gary Kubiak's

JUMPERS Continued from PageCl All but one player from the black team finished in time, and Hoyt, who was as still as a statue,gave instructions. 44 + ' ))

Perhaps the fear of running for the remainder of practice put a little extra hitch in the black team's giddy up, because all the players finished with a few seconds to spare. The black team celebrated, thinking it triumphed over the latest installment of "Running with Rob," but Hoyt was happy to rain on the parade. 'Two of you, twice didn' t touch the line. Again," he commanded. As both teams took turns running, players legs became heavier with every step. Strong athletes began dropping like flies. Between

sprints, they collapsed on the floor and were gasping for air like swimmers who had been underwater 10-seconds too long. A nearby trash can was used asa regurgitation receptacle. They were inmates being punished in the yard. And Hoyt was the warden. With all that, Warden Hoyt only had a one word vocabulary. "Again." When he felt his team had enough, or perhaps he became bored with the punishment, Hoyt had the team gather around the half court circle. In less than 15 seconds, Hoyt expressedhis displeasure with them, both on and ofF the court, and that they might as well bring their runningshoesto practice the rest of the week. He walked ofF the court in disgust to his ofFice while the players dejectedly

headed to the locker room. His message was received loud and clear from his players.

"It was horrible," said 6-foot7 freshman guard DeAndre Stallings Tuesday after practice. "We haven't been practicing well and I could tell that he was mad. It's bad when he gets mad because you don' t know what he's going to do. It's worse when he gets quiet because the quieter he is, the worse he is." For the eight freshmen new to the program, they might not yet know the warning signs for when Hurricane Hoyt is about to unleash the fury, but sophomore Michael Meserole has become a madnessmeteorologistexpert. "Because this is my second year with Hoyt, I can tell exactly how he is going to be from the moment he walks into the gym," Meserole said.

"But, he does everything for a reason. Whether it's getting us mentally prepared orjust being hard on us by making us condition, everything is to prepare us for the games." Hoyt calmed down, talked with players on the phone or via text, and decided to chalk Monday up to just a poor day and to move forward. He views October as the dog days of the college basketball season, when it feels like real games will never arrive. "It's just tough in October forthe guys," Hoyt said. "They have been going at it since August. They played in a showcase and you get some excitement from that. When it ends, the realization sets in that they still have five more weeks of competing against each other. It's hard to bring that energy. I also don't think their minds were in the right place. It needed to happen to be kind of a wake up call. I didn't bring my eaort as an example, so that they could understand how I feel every day they don't bring theirs." When the Jumpers took the fioor on Tuesday for practice, it was like they were reborn.

The practic ewas crisp,upbeat and smooth. Guys were in the right spot, working hard, and constantly encouraging one another. And Hoyt was back to his usual, charming self with his players. Though he was quick to yell and point out when they did something wrong, at least he was talking. "Coach puts high expectations on us and lets us know that we don't have a ceiling," said 6-6 freshman forward Kashmiere Hughes, of Peoria, IL "We have to believe it and we have to work hard." For Hoyt, he had as much of a smile as he would allow walking off the court following Tuesday's practice. Though the players might look at it as another practice in the books, Hoyt sees it as just one day closer to tip-ofK "Our first game is Novem-

ber 5," Hoyt said. "So between October 6 and November 5, we have 21 days of practice. I think when you get that quantitative goal, or that there is a number, yeah it's not that much time. You are thinking of it as a month. I'm thinking of it as we have 20 days to get all this stuff in and get better."

'My state of mind is that we have a game tonight and nothing that I' ve experienced has anything to do with how we perform tonight," Fisher said before the game, adding that he was "completely focused and committed to the team."

Fisher and B ames were teammates with the Los Angeles Lakers &om 2010-12. The Grizkes held training camp last week in Santa Barbara, California, and the Post reportedthat Barnes drove to Govan's home when he learned that Fisher was there.

''We are aware and currently g athering information ~ ing today's report involving Matt Barnes," the Grizzlies said in a statement. 'We have no further comment at this time." An NBA spokesman said it would be premature to comment. Asked ifhe thought there could be legal ramifications, Fisher said: "I guess we' ll see." Fisher said he told his players about the situation when he gathered them before the game because he wanted them to hear about it &om him directly. 'Tm here, I'm focused," he

said. "It's not something that' s going to take me away &om who we are or what we' re trying to do." Knicks All-Star Carmelo Anthony said the Knicks were caught off guard by the news. "Nobody really knew kind of what was going on — still nobody knows the details of what's happening," Anthony said. "So as a team it was just amongst us to kind of just let him deal with his own personal issues and us, when we come in here and it's time to play basketball, we deal with that."

As for regulation,"we're open to that," Robins said on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" show, signaling a change of course for the company. DrafKings hasn't responded to questions &om The Associated Press about the degree of access employees have to internal information and when they can access it. While legal in most U.S. states, daily fantasy sports is unregulated, unlike casinos and lotteries. Participants put together virtualteams based on real playersand compete for points based on the players' statistics. The incident has been likened to insider trading. The internal data, describing how often players are selected by all players inthe salary-cap style game,couldbeused strategically to build a lineup of players with a lot of potential who aren't popular selections among opponents.

Blake: Poliaewatchdog substantiates complaint NEW YORK (AP) — Two police officers involved in the mistaken arrest of former tennis pro James Blake, induding one who tackled him to the ground, will face an administrative trial after the city's police watchdog substantiated Blake's excessive-f orce complaint. The CiviTian Complaint

Review Board's executive director, Mina Malik, said in a letter sent to Blake that

investigators had substantiated complaints he made after his Sept. 9 arrest alleging that Ofmlcer James Frascatore used excessive force and Detective Daniel Herzog abused his authority. Surveillance video showed Frasmtore approaching Blake in &ont of a Manhattan hotel, grabbing his arm and roughly taking him to the ground. Police said Blake, who had ranked as high as No. 4 in the world before retiring &om tennis after the 2013 US. Open, had been mistakenly identified as being part of a cellphone &aud scheme. Frascatore had mistaken Blake forasuspectwh olookedlike him, police said. Mayor Bill de Blasio and police Commissioner William Bratton have apologized to Blake, who has s aid he believes ~ to r e should be fired. "It is my understanding thatthese offi cers now face an administrative trial for their roles in the respective offenses," Blake said Wednesday in a statement that accompanied the CCRB letter. "I have complete respect for the principle of due process and appreciate the efforts of the CCRB to advance this investigation." Frascatore, who has been with the New York Police Department for about four years, had been named in several civil rights lawsuits alleging excessive force. He was placed on desk duty after the encounter with Blake. A departmental trial could end in disciplinary action or termination. — The Associated Press

THOMPSON Continued from PageCl Raiders season so far. Things seem better. Smith seems better. "It's good," Smith, 26, said. Happy I'm out here. Good group of guys, a lot of cool, funny personalities. So it's all good for me." So far. The Raiders' plan for saving the controversial former 49er, who has been arrested five time since entering

the NFL in 2011, looks to be working. Smith, who missed all of training camp and signed with the Raiders two days before the season opener, said he's feeling acclimated. He's worked o6' the rust.H e'sgotabettergrasp on the system. His exceptional talent is starting to shine. It could all come crashing down. It has before. That is Smith's existence now, trying to thrive while being stalked by destruction. One more drink, one more arrest, one more bad decision, and it all can be over.

The NFL can still suspend him, justifiably, for his last incident — an Aug. 6 arrest in Santa Clara that prompted the 49ers to waive the star defensive player. Smith pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor DUI, hit-and-run and vandalism earlier this week. But the NFL doesn't have to wait for the legal outcome to snatch this season away &om Smith, who was suspended nine games last year with the 49ers for his alleged drunken bomb threat incident at LAX. But in the meantime, Smith appears to be making good on his attempts to rebuild his reputation and reclaim his mantle as an All-Pro level defender. And the Raiders appear to be making good on providing a structured, fruitful

as any outside linebacker: two sacks, three big stops in the run game. It was the first glimpse of the No. 99 that made the 49ers so, shall we say, patient. "I'm not just a pass rusher," Smith said. "I'm overall a defensive player. Stopping the run is something I take pride in just as well as getting to the

whom they drafted No. 7 overall in 2011, coach Jim Tomsula made a passionate plea to hurting souls under the sound of his voice to get help. He told them they don't have to go through it alone and they are worth more than they know. The implication was that Smith, whose latest trouble prompted the

help. That Smith didn't fully comprehend his worth. That he was in a place breaks the heart of those who love him. The outcry was that he shouldn' t play again. He needed help. He wasn' t worthy of this NFL privilege. Fast forward two months, Smith is smiling again. He's coming into his own as a Raider. He's garnered the favor of his teammates. He's avoided more trouble. He's picking up his game on the field. Perhaps the Raiders have done a commendable job of steadying a sinking ship. Or this is all a rouse at risk for blowing up in the Raiders face. Either way, so far so good.

But this week, they'll need Smith

the elite pass rusher against Manning. "Any time you get a guy down that doesn't go down that much," Smith said after a laugh, "it makes you feel good. Only time will tell how serious Smith is about his recovery. If this periodofprogress isjustthe calm before the inevitable Aldon storm. And Smith's willingness to answer footballonly questions doesn't suggest he's got this accountability thing completely figured out. When the 49ers released Smith,

If Smith plays a key role in the Raiders finally beating the Peyton Manning-led Broncos, putting Oakland atop the AFC West standings, then the Raiders gamble to bring on the troubled Smith would look even better. Last week he had as good a week

DID YOU KNOW? The first NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway was the 1960 World 600, won by Joe Lee Johnson. It was one of just two career wins for Johnson, whose career was brief — 55 starts between 1956-62. He also had two career wins in NASCAR's convertible division, both in 1959.
