The increasing likelihood of a wet winter for the Mother Lode, the Central Sierra Nevada andNorthern California is potentially good news for most Mother Lode residents, farmers,ranchers, foresters, land custodians and water managers. But a strong El ¹ino bringing above-average rainfall for the first time since 201011 could also wreak havoc in recent burn areas including the Butte, Oak and Big Creek fires, as well as the 400-square-mile 2013 Rim Fire burn, which is still in early recovery. Depending on how wet weather systems track off the Pacific, powerful, moistureladen storms could also cause significant damage to communitiesoutsideburn areas.

Oceanographer-climatologist Bill Patzert, who's been studying El ¹ino effects since 1965 in Hawaii and La Jolla, and since 1983 at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in La Canada Flintridge, said he's convinced this winter season will equal or exceed the last major El ¹ino to impact California, in the winter of 1997-98.

TUD makes case for rate increase By ALEK MacLEAN The Union Democrat

Some of Tuolumne Utilities District's water pipelines are 80 years old, its water tanks serving Columbia and Sonora are falling apart, and the total backlog of needed projects has reached an estimated $70 million.

According to court r ecords,Samual Ray Steele, 43, shoved Michael W. Elliot, 63, of Angels Camp to the ground the night of July 23, 2012, after leaving Claussen's Corner bar. Elliot died July 28, 2012, at University of California, Davis, Medical Center from a head injury. Multiple people who were at the bar that night reported seeing Steele and Elliot arguing.

Additionally, the department recommends his probation be extended to Nov. 26, 2017. On Sept. 25, Steele failed to appear for his violation of probation arraignment. He was arrested on Oct. 1.

de-incarceration The Justice Department has announced that it will begin releasing 6,000 "nonviolent" inmates from federal prisons starting at the end of this month. Welcome to the era of de-incarceration. At a conference named for former New York Mayor David Dinkins (who presided over the city at a time of runaway crime), Hillary Clinton decried the number of Americans behind bars and declared, "It's time to change our approach. It'stime to end

In this, she i s j oined b y Bernie Sanders and other Democrats, and also by Charles Koch, who wrote recently that "Overcriminalization has led to the mass incarceration of those ensnared by our criminal justice system, even though such imprisonment does not always enhance public safety. Indeed, more than half of federal inmates are nonviolent drug offenders." Sen. Rand Paul has called mass incarceration "the new Jim Crow." And Carly Fiorina suggested during the last debate, "We have the highest incarceration rates in the world. Twothirds of the people in our prisons are there for nonviolent offenses, mostly drug-related. It is clearly not working." Not exactly. The U.S. does have the highest incarceration rate in the world (that is, among nations that list these data honestly), but the assertion that most of the people incarcerated are there for nonviolent crimes is false.Advocates for de-incarceration often cite the number of federal prisoners who committed nonviolent drug offenses. This is highly misleading. Of the 2.2 million inmates in America, only about 200,000are federal prisoners. About half of federal inmates are sentenced for drug crimes, but this shouldn't shock anyone. Nearly allviolent crimes are state matters. It's a federal crime totransport a kidnap victim across state lines, to attempt toassassinate a federal official and so forth.But robberies,rapes, assaults and murder are mostly state matters. Among state inmates, only 1 in 6 is a drug offender. Among the 50 percent of "nonviolent" federal drug offenders, it's difficult to know how many were arrestedfor a violent crime and plea-bargained to a lesser offense. Nor do we have good data on how many were previously convicted of a violent crime. A 2004 Bureau of Justice Statistics study found that 95 percent of those who served time in state prisons for nonviolent crimes had a preceding criminal history (typically 9.3 arrests and 4.1 convictions) and 31 percenthad a history of arrests for violent crime. Among state prisoners, 54 percent are there for violent offenses. Perhaps the 46 percent who are incarcerated for nonviolent crimes should be punished some other way. But to design good policy on that, we'd have to grapple with a number of issues. What do you do with offenders who are placed on probation or parole but continue to offend? What about the "crime in the streets versus crime in the suites" problem? Should we sentence embezzlers, child porn dealers and Medicaid cheats to community service but keep armed robbers behind bars? How will that affect the perception that incarceration is the "new Jim Crow" ? Many on both sides of the political spectrum are eager toleap aboard the "de-incarceration" bandwagon. It's a way to show sympathy with AfricanAmericans and (to a much lesser degree) Hispanics, who are disproportionately represented among inmates.

But the primary victims of crime are also AfricanAmericans and Hispanics. If "unlock'em up" becomes the new conventional wisdom, more innocent people will suffer and more businesses will flee. We' ve become complacent about crime because the crime ratehas declined drastically since 1990. According to the FBI, violent crime increased by nearly 83 percentbetween 1973 and 1991 — a period of criminal justice leniency. From 1991 to 2001, when incarceration rates increased, violent crime declined by 33.6 percent. The decline has persisted. There are

GUEST COLUMN

Wanted: A peaker of the House It usedto be considered a great job, back in the days of Sam Rayburn and Tip O' Neill. The speaker was powerful. No more. John Boehner is as pro-life as you can be. But imagine this: He was reluctant to shut the government down over a symbolic vote with no other consequences. It's not like he

hadn'tdone it before.H e had; and it wasn't actually good for the Republican Party, not to mention the country. But there

is a minority within the Republican caucus that simply doesn't care about such practicalities. They don't believe, as Boehner did, that sometimes you actually have to work with the other side to get things done. And they weren't prepared to support Boehner for another term.

So why i s e veryone so shocked to see Kevin McCarthy pull out of the race for speaker as he did on Thursday morning while the Republican caucus convened to nominate candidates? He asked that the election be delayed, and it has been. The search for candidates is on. Here around California, McCarthy's home state, Rep. McCarthy is known for be-

(abortion, removing lead from paint, the waning of the crack epidemic, policing strategies), and some or all of those factors may have played a part, but the "incapacitation" argument — criminals who are behind bars cannot be mugging people — seems awfully strong. It would,of course, be a better world if fewer Americans were growing up in neighborhoods where fatherlessness, intergenerational government dependency and poor schools contribute to high rates of crime. But it's hard to see how releasing more criminals to prey upon those very neighborhoods is the answer.

(AP) — When President Barack Obama arrives here Friday, he will find a timber town still in mourning over the shooting that killed eight community college students and a teacher. But he will also find another deeply held emotion — seething anger over his calls for new gun restrictions. Only aweek after a gunman strode into a writing class and opened fire on classmates, many people in the region known as Oregon's Bible Belt are quick to reaffirm their opposition

to stricter gun laws. At least one parent of a shooting survivor says his family will not meet with the president, although his daughter said she hopes to do so. And gun-rights supporters plan to protest during Obama's visit.

NOTICE OFEVIDENTIARY HEARING REGARDING PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY'S REQUEST TOINCREASE RATES FOR 2014 DROUGHT FIRE RISK REDUCTION ACTIVITIES (A.15-05-016) October 26-27, 201 5 Startin at 10:00 a.m. at the address below: California Public Utilities Commission Courtroom State Office Building 505 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA 94102

Summary On May 28, 2015, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PGBE) filed an application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for approval to increase rates for the recovery of expenses recorded in the electric Catastrophic Event Memorandum Account (CEMA). The 2015 CEMA Application seeks recovery of $26.6 million in expenses incurred in 201 4 to comply with directives by California Governor Jerry Brown and the CPUC.

Background On June 12, 2014, the CPUC approved Resolution ESRB-4 (the Resolution). This Resolution is in accordance with Governor Brown's drought State of Emergency proclamation. PG&E has an ongoing vegetation management program to ensure the safety of its electric distribution system. The Resolution ordered PG&E to take additional measures to reduce the likelihood of fires associated with droughtstricken vegetation near PGBE's electric distribution facilities. In 2014 PGBE introduced several programs to help reduce the risk of fire ignition from its electric distribution facilities or from droughtstricken vegetation damaging its facilities, including: • Additional ground and air inspections of its electric distribution facilities in high fire risk areas • Funding California Fire Safe Councils' fire fuel reduction programs • Funding fire lookouts, aedal patrols, and fire detection cameras located near PGB E's electric distribution facilities California state law allows PG&E to record to the CEMA expenses for complying with state and federal orders associated with declared emergencies. This application will be examined by the CPUC to determine if costs are incremental, reasonable, and eligible for recovery from customers before any rate increase will be approved. PG&E will continue to undertake additional drought fire risk mitigation activities to ensure continued safety and electric reliability for communities we serve as long as the drought persists. If approved,this application would result in a rate increase that would start at the next electric rate change following a final decision in this proceeding. The distribution of these rate changes to each customer class ultimately depends on the CPUC's final decision. If the application is approved, PGLE estimates that a typical residential customer using 500 kWh per month would see an average bill increase of $0.23 (or 0.3 percent), from $89.30 to $89.53. Individual customers' bills will differ. The CPUC regulates and oversees all requests for any rate changes. Evidentiary Hearings At the evidentiary hearings noted above, PG&Eand other formal parties to the proceeding will present their evidence through testimony and will be subject to cross-examination before an Administrative Law Judge (Judge).The hearings are open to the public, but only those who are formal parties are permitted to present evidence and/or cross-examine witnesses. After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the formal process, the Judge will issue a proposed decision which may accept PGLE's proposal, modify it or reject it. Any one of the five Commissioners may also issue an alternate decision based on the record. The proposed decision and any alternate will be acted upon at a CPUC Voting Meeting where the Commissioners will decide whether to adopt the proposed or an alternate decision. If you would like a copy of PGBE's filing and exhibits, please write to: PGBE, Request to Increase Rates for 201 4 Drought Fire Risk Reduction Activities (A.15-05-01 6), P.O.Box 7442, San Francisco, CA 941 20.

Of those six, four of them, '57-58, '72-73, '82-83 and '9798, were wet across Northern California, including the Centhere's El ¹ino or not, we al- tral Sierra Nevada and the No burn severity mapsyet ways pay attention to the burn Mother Lode.

as the student was out school and changed cell phone numbers, but the school presented police with a new note on Aug. 24, less than a week into the school year. After the discovery, Chabot said the school moved the girl's locker to an area with better camera coverage.

While frustrated, the student's father believes the school's response has improvedfrom lastyear. "They' re trying with resources they have, it seems," he said. The bullying triggered the formationofa special safetycommittee to address campus culture led by board member Kathy Ankrom. The committee has met twice with members including teachers, counselors, law enforcement an d c ommunity members. "I'm horrified," Ankrom said. "The safety committee is working to prevent thissort of behavior. It's a cowardly way to go h u rting or wounding somebody. I will do everything I can to prevent this thing."

Barbara Sull i v an, C alaveras County t a x collector, said the mistake occurred d u ring the p r i nting p r ocess. The printer — a Stockton-based en t e r prise printed out 38,000 county tax bills, the final 5,000 of which included the incorrect return address. When they got to the last5,000,they inserted Del Norte County as a return envelope," said Sullivan. "It was only 5,000 of 33,000, but that's still a lot." Sullivan s a y s the printer caught the mistake — doing a basic i nventory survey a n d noticing that Calaveras County had a s urplus of tax bill envelopes left over — and is working to correct it. "He's p r i nting out more today and printing out a correction notice today to those affected by the mass billing error," Sullivan said. "They should be getting notice in mail.

"It's just that competitive rivalry, being so close in proximity to Mexico. It' s just exciting to have big games like that and want to win so bad.

"And I'm here to play basketball, so there won't be any distractions."

The veteran said in video posted by The Commercial Appeal that he has not spoken with the NBA yet.

'You get over the age of 30 they kind of count you out," Johnson said. "But we proved to people that we could still play."

Fan: Super Bowl ticket process violates consumer law PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A New Jersey man asked a federal appeals court Thursday to revive his consumer protection lawsuit that aims to flag the NFL over the number of ticketssold to the public for the 2014 Super Bowl. A lawyer for Josh Finkelman, of New Brunswick, said the league releasesonly about 900 tickets for the public lottery, less than 1 percent of the total. The remaining tickets go

to the individual teams, corporate partners,media outlets and others. Finkelman complained that fans like him were left to pay $2,000or more per ticket on the secondary market. His lawyer, Bruce Nagel, argued Thursday that New Jersey law requires anyone selling ticketsto an event to release 95 percent of them to the public. 'The NFL has done this for

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Washington gets defensive, stufFs No. 17 USC 17-12 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nearly every Washington upperclassman insistedthey took no personal pleasure in beating the coach who left them for Southern California two years ago. A gritty defensive victory over a ranM team on the Coliseum's national stage was more than enough reason for these Huskies to celebrate. Myles Gaskm ran for 134 yards and afourth-quarler touchdown, and Washington shut down No. 17 USC's high-powered offense throughout a 17-

12 victory Thursday night. ~i v er Marvin Hall threw a 27yard touchdown pass to Joshua Perkins early in the second half as the Huskies (3-2, 1-1 Pac-12) beat Steve Sarkisian and the coaches who recruit-

ed many of them to Seattle. The Huskies all celebrated with their strong cheering section after running out the dock on Washington's first win at the Coliseum since 2010. "A win like this really puts us on the rightstep as a program,"said senior

linebacker Travis Feeney, who had 2 1-2 sacks. aWe're only going up &om here. It's definitely a stepping stone forour confi dence,forany young guys who doubted themselves. It's something we can take pride in and gain confidence &om." Washington beat a ranked team for the first time under second-year coach Chris Petersen, who appeared to pull a trick play out of his Boise State cache. The Huskies weren't looking for vindication against aSrkisian, but a win

in Los Angeles still was parlicularly sweet for the numerous Washington players &om the area. "It's like playing in my backyard," said linebacker Keishawn Bierria, &om nearby Carson. "It's just playing at home for me, for a lot of us. That' s the way we look at it: There's nothing special about this park" Cody Kessler had two interceptions while passing for just 156 yards on a disastrous night for the Trojans (3-2,

1-2), the popular preseasonpick to win

Since Torre trying to get him involved in became more of a presence the passing game.

The Bullfrogs would take a 29-22 lead following an 18-play, 99-yard drive that took about 8 minutes off the clock. They went on to win 29-28,and earn their first Mother Lode League victory for Bret Harte in three and a half years. Bullfrog head coach Casey Kester saidthe drive is among the best he has seen, and something that can turn around a season. "Summervillehad us backed up inside the 1-yard line. Most of the time, we get five or six-yards and try to give the punter some room," said Kester. "This was like the turning point of the season. Our backs were against the wall, we didn'tgive up, marched down the field, beat the hell out of the other team and got in." They maneuvered down the

"Sometimes things just fall into place to where you can use him more," Weatherby said. "I felt like at the beginning of the season we were trying to get him involved, but werenot able to do so. It took a couple of games to even get a catch out of him." In six games, Torre has 311 recei ving yards and fi ve touchdowns. He has quickly become one of quarterback Dylan Byrd's favorite targets. As the season moves along, the two are becoming more compatible on the field. "It's all about consistency," Byrd said. "I think that is a big part that sets Shane apart from otherreceivers. You throw him the ball and he's going to make a play and he's been doing it all year for us.

field without throwing a pass and without full health from Mike Ziehlke. The quarterback dislocated his right shoulder — on his throwing hand — on the long drive that gave Bret Harte the lead. aI played the rest of the fourth quarter on it last week. We had the 99-yard drive and we had the comeback," said Ziehlke. Kester took it easy on his quarterback who did not practice this week though he says the shoulder feels fine. Regardless of how much time Ziehlke is on the field, Kester says he is confident in his alternatives — Jim Brechtel and Joey Kraft — who will both see time at quarterback Friday in different situations. "I' ve got two quarterbacks who was pushing Ziehlke very hard all year. Both of those guys have been getting all the reps (this week in practice) and have been doing very well," said Kester. "They' re making all the throws, making all the reads.They're a littlebitrusty be-

aI think that just going through the season, Dylan's (Byrd) confidence level has been raised to a pointto where he feels more comfortable throwing the ball to me more and that p u shes the

passing game along a lot farther," Torre said. Torre is also the hammer on the 'Skins defense. He has 30 tackles, 14 of which are solo. He has one quarterback sack and when he gets his hands ona ball-carrier,there is no escape. aWe call him Shrek because he's built like a specimen," teammate Caleb Hodgson said. "He's always been that way. This year he's been using his size as an advantage. He's a pretty sure tackler and when he gets his hands on you, you are not going any-

the conference and a healthy doubledigit favorite against Washington. Instead, USC couldn't score a touchdown until Ronald Jones IFs short run with 12:02 to play. Washington's defense then came up with two late stops, and the Trojans missed a field goal with 3:44 left. Jaydon Mickens caught a key third-down pass &om Washington &eshman Jake Browning with 2:10 to play, allowing the Huskies to run out the dock against the frustrated USC defense.

cause they haven't had all the reps that he has had, but they' re ready to step in." Tonight A victory at Linden tonight would give Bret Harte its second MLL victory — a milestone reached just two timessince 2007. "This could be the best team Bret Harte has seen in a while," said Ziehlke. aI s~

Harte seven years ago with my cousins. They weren't good then." To do that, Kester says ball control is imperative — especially in the offense that Bret Harte employs which exposes the football more than traditional offenses. "We' ve been really working on ball control with the new piece of equipment, the blaster machine. Normally we' ve been using it every single day, now we' re using it everyother day," said Kester. "It it paying off We run a high risk ofFense, so we' re always going to have a fumble ratio."

where. He's going to pick you up and swing you around. It' s pretty tough to break one of his tackles." Tonight, when Argonaut visits Frank Meyer Field, Torre will not line up at linebacker or defensive end. Instead, his hand will be in the dirt, playing defensive tackle along side Cameron Moore. Argonaut is pass happy, so the 'Skins are looking at the combination of Moore and Torre to put constant pressure on the quarterback. A challenge both are happy to accept. "It's nice knowing that I' ve got a guy next to me that can break through any offensive line and get to the quarterback," Moore said."It'spretty exciting." Though Torre excels on

bothsidesofthe ball,heprefers playing offense and being able to make big plays. "I enjoy offense a little more than defense because I love the feeling of having the ball in my hands and having an opportunity to make a play and change the game," Torre said.

Calaveras (3-3, 1-1 MLL) needs a win at home tonight to keep its hands on second place in the MLL. Argonaut (2-3, 1-1) is coming ofF a bye week. The last time Argonaut played was in a 28-26 home overtime lossto Sonora.

"This game is pretty huge because since the loss to Sonora, every win is now a playoff opportunity and every loss just puts us one game further away from the playoffs,"Torre said.

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.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Stepmom's wedding attendance up to bride DEARANNK: My husband of five years has just learned that his daughterisengaged,and Iam already stressing about the wedding. My husband was married when we met. I didn't intentionally date a married man, but he pursued me, and I told him that if he wanted to date me, he must leave his wife. It only took three months, so he was obviously ready to go. Still, I'm the "other woman." Ihave tried tobeconsiderate,avoiding the places where his ex shops. He has lunch regularly with his daughter, but the only time his daughter sees me is for a short, awkward time at holidays. His daughter came to our wedding, but didn't stay for the reception. I don't blame her. I'd hate me, too. I don't want to go to her wedding. I feel it would stress her out, and I don' t want to ruin her special day. I think the focus should be on her, not on people whispering aboutthewoman who broke up her parents' marriage. I' ve been the

Annie's Mailbox buttofbitter comments already.I also don't want to con&ont her mother. If the bride wanted me there, I would go, but I am pretty sure she doesn' t. Should I go and wish them well, then leave? Should I stay away altogether? My husband would have abetter time if I were with him, but it's not his big day. Please tell me what to do.— SOMEWHERE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CALIFORNIA: You are wise to understand the situation, and considerate to put the bride first. Your husband should ask his daughter directly if she wants you there. If she says no, then stay away. If she says "yes" or she doesn't care, it might be best for you to attend only the ceremony,

and your husband should remain for the reception. But keep in mind that youare now married to Dad and in order for the situation ever to normalize, you will need to endure these encounters so that, over time, they won't seem so unusual or stressful. DEARANNK: I am continually fascinated at the people who are quick to criticize retired husbands for not taking on 50 percent of the household chores. Why do these stories never include the expectation that the wife will wash the cars, mow the lawn, repair the brokett shades, change the air-conditioning filters, clean the gutters and on and on? Everyone is quick to yell at the husbands for not doing the dishes, but why shouldn't the wives be sharing the other tasks? —MIKE DEAR MIKE: We agree that the wives who are retired should pick up some ofthe slack on the other emI, but these are not exactly

equal chores. Dishes, laundry amI housecleaning have to be done every day. Mowing the lawn or cleaning the gutters is seasonal and periodic. You could count up the hours spentdoing each of these if you are determined to make it "equal," but we don't believe household chores should be tit-fortat. You might be better at some things and your wife at others, and it's fine to focus more on the

work you do best. And the rest you should do because you love each other and these things still need to be done, retired or not. Annie's Mailbox ts written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editorss of the Ann Landers column. Please

Cardiomyopathy ends young man's football dreams DEAR DR. ROACH: My 18-yearold grandson has just been informed that he has left ventricular noncom-

paction cardiomyopathy. He has been VERY active his whole life, playing football, baseball, basketball and soccer all through high school. He had no symptoms. This was found when gettinga physical for college,where he was supposed to play football, and he has been told that is now out of the question. The doctors are saying it's a very rare condition, and they want to put in a defibrillator ASAP.— Anon. ANSWER: Left ventricular noncompactionisa cardiomyopathy (diseaseof the heart muscle) that is rarely diagnosed, but it probably has been underrecognized. It can run in families, so it' s recommended to examine relatives for the condition. It is diagnosed by echocardiogram, and some cases can be identified through genetic analysis. LVNC can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias and stroke. There is no specific treatment for LVNC, so people with the condition are treated for the

manifestat ions of their disease. For

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. people with heart failure, this means they aretreated with the appropriate medications, which hopefully will prevent or at least slow down any damage to the heart. Management also can include an automated internal

cardiac defibrillator (AICD) if the heart muscle is seriously weakened. People with LVNC and a history of serious arrhythmias should get an AICD as well. Since atThythmias are very common

DEAR DR ROACH: I am a n 80-yearDld female, and I bruise from the slightest tap on my skin. My skin is very thin. When you press too hard on my arm or leg, it hurts. I have seen vascularspecialists,but I have been told it is because of my thin skin. I feel like I should live in a bubble. My doctor saysthe same thing asthe specialists. Do you have any suggestions to make my veins stronger? I am taking vitamin C, as I read that this might help. — J.C. ANSWER: Easy bruising is a common problem in the elderly, and al-

is benign. I begin to worry when I see bleeding from the gums or nose, with multiple large bruises with no trauma,

or in people with a family history of bleeding. Some simple laboratory tests can help decide whether this is likely a sign of internal disease. In the majority of cases, with none of theworry signs above,people can be reassured. Vitamin C and vitamin K defici ency can cause easy bruising, so foods high in these nutrients or a supplement can be tried. I recommend getting these through food rather than supplements, if possible. A few years ago, a study showed that a bioflavonoid supplement helped with easy bruising, and most pharmacies and healthfood stores carry bioflavonoid supplements if diet is inadequate. Many &uits and vegetables are high in these compounds, especially citrus fruits, legumes, hot peppers and onions. These certainly can't hurt, and may help.

in LVNC, AICDB may be used more frequently than with other causes of heart failure. Also, it is likely that your grandson'sdoctor has more expertise than I in managing this condition, and Readers may Ir/rite Dr. Roach, M.D., certainly has more knowledge about at 628 Virginia Dr., OrlandO, Ir'I 82803 his heart, so I would take the recom- though it sometimes is an indication or email ToYourGoodHealth@med.cormendation for AICD very seriously. of seri ous disease,mostofthe time it nell.edu with medical questions.

Today in history Today is Friday, October 9, the 282nd day of 2015. There are 83 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On October 9, 1940, rockand-roll legend John Lennon was born in Liverpool, England. (On this date in 1975, his son, Sean, was born in New York.) On this date: In 1514, Mary Tudor, the 18-year-old sister of Henry Vill, became Queen consort of France upon her marriage to 52-year-old King Louis Xll, who died less than three months later. In 1914, the Belgian city of Antwerp fell to German forces during World War l. In 1946, the Eugene O' Neill drama "The Iceman Cometh" opened at the Martin Beck Theater in New York. In 1958, Pope Pius Xll died at age 82, ending a 19-year papacy. (He was succeeded by Pope John XXII I.) In 1967, Latin American guerrilla leader Che Guevara was killed by the Bolivian army a day after he was captured. In 1975, Soviet scientist Andrei Sakharov (AHN'dray SAHK'-ah-rawf) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1995, a sabotaged section of track caused an Amtrak train, the Sunset Limited, to derail in Arizona; one person was killed and about 80 were injured (the case remains unsolved). In 2009, President Barack Obama was named the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for what the Norwegian Nobel Committee called "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

John Terry, captain of the Chelsea soccer team in London and former captain of England, said, "You don't have to be captain to have an opinion." That reminds me of Mao Tse-tung's "Little Red Book,"which contains the recommendation that army leaders listen to the opinions of the enlisted men. Sometimes in the auction at a bridge table, one player knows where to go and immediately names the final contract.

When East enters the auction, though, it is time to call on partner's opinion. Now South must show his heart suit, so that North can judge what to do if the opponents bid higher. Here, over three hearts by South, West will presumably raise to four clubs. Then North will continue with four spades, and probably East will bid five clubs as an eachvvay bet — maybe it will make, or it might be a cheap sacrifice. After South passes, North should go on to five spades because of his side's double fit. East will double, and South will go down two, minus 300. This is cheaper than five clubs bid and made for plus 400.
