Whenever Mark Dubois revisits the site of New Melones Reservoir— a place that he derived significant joy from decades ago — he views it as a shadow of its former self. He sees a war zone — barren and desolate. T hough four y ears o f considerable drought have caused waterlevels at the New Melones Reservoir to drop — exposing much of the land from years before it was filled in 1982 and reviving rapids of the Stanislaus River — little remains of what made the site a sentimental

memory for Dubois. 'The reservoir washing up and down not only killed all of the life that lived in the canyon,italso took the good topsoil that accumulated for tens of thousands of years and slopped it down to the bottom of thereservoir,"said Dubois, a 66-year-old who grew up in Sacramento.

He said he did so fully willing to submerge as the water levels rose. "For me, it was trying to Y' speak on behalf of all the life in that canyon," Dubois said. "It was my last ditch effort to try to speak out against the absurd." Although water levels have dropped enough to trigger nostalgic memories and allow foractivities that may have been unavailable in decades since its filling, Dubois said it is difficult to revisit the site. "For me, it's mostly just a painful memory," he said. "It' s like seeing the bones of a relative. What do you do with the bones of someone dead?" But the pain does not necessarily stop him. The past couple of years have seen Duboisvisit the reservoir three times, spending considerable amount of time camping twice.

Mark Lee Bergstrom May S, 1952 —September 30, 201 5 Mark Lee Bergstrom was born on May 8, 1952, in Fort Collins, Co to Dr. Lewis Sumner Bergstrom and Barbara Uric Bergstrom. Mark graduated from Sonora High in 1970. He spent three months of that summer working for a large development in Groveland, Ca outside the entrance to Yosemite Park, before heading off in his Green Volkswagen Beetle to arrive at UC Davis football camp two weeks before classes commenced. Mark graduated from UC Davis in 1975 with a Bachelor of Arts, and graduate work in Urban Geography in 1977. He married Caroline Caufield in 1976 and the two raised a son, Matthew C. Bergstrom, and a daughter, Katherine Bergstrom, in San Francisco. He married Vicki Kennedy Bergstrom on September 29, 2012 and welcomed her two children a daughter, Melissa Ortega, her husband Aden Bynum and a son Jeremy Ortega and his wife Kaitlin Ortega. Mark was fortunate enough to have traveled the world but his roots were always here in Tuolumne County, California where he grew up in rural east Sonora. He returned to Sonora in 2007 after a 39 year adventure that took him to Davis, Los Angeles, Saudi Arabia, Cincinnati and San Francisco pursuing his professional career in management consulting and running a variety of environmentally-focused nonprofit organizations. He loved the great outdoors and our country's precious natural heritage. In his growing up years he had spent countless hours outdoors fishing in creeks, gigging frogs, swimming in farm ponds, and hunting small game. He spent hours with his pop, a local large animal veterinarian, on ranch calls. He enjoyed cowboying for local ranchers, branding, cattle drives and attending rodeos. He shared his passion of fly fishing, hunting, hiking and camping with his children. Mark Bergstrom was an incredible man. He had an amazing sense of humor, he lit up the room when he walked through the door! His smile was contagious! He had the gift of gab! He could talk to anyone about anything, anytime, anywhere, he provided comfort and grace to friends and family. He would pray with you, he would pray for you, he would pray about you. Mark was a Christian, he put God first. He was all about love and he made a difference in so many lives. Mark had recently been going to the fair grounds and the evacuation shelters praying over the people that had been devastated by the recent Butte fires. He was there every day reaching out to those who had lost everything. He was always the first one to visit a sick friend or neighbor. He counseled inmates in jail and in prisons with a local Prison Ministries Program. With his big heart, he graciously took on other's burdens and tried to lighten their load. Mark was an athlete, he loved competition. He excelled in baseball, football and basketball. But by far his favorite sport was fly fishing. He always had his fly rod with him. Everywhere he went he knew where there was a lake, a pond or a stream. It could be 50 miles out of the way and he would say, "Trust me this will only take a minute." Mark was creative in everything he did, a talented artist and photographer, a writer, a poet, a gardener and a builder. He was the owner of Black Eye Gallery where he sold his custom one of a kind water fountains and his award winning photography. Photography was a means of capturing his love of the outdoors. His work has been featured in local shows and fundraising venues. He was awarded the prestigious Charles Moore Award for Excellence in Photography for a photograph titled. "Boots." He loved and adored his children Matt and Kate, he was so proud of them. He and Vicki felt so lucky to have a blended family with the best kids on earth! Vicki was the love - II rg of his life, and he was the love of hers. He was a gift! Our time together was the best time.

Counseling lack shortchanges

PITTo„,

county students While it is shocking to learn a group of teenagers at a local high school were planning to shoot their teachers and fellow students, there is a greater takeaway from the situation. As Union Democrat reporter Sean Carson's well-re-

searched story showed, students in Tuolumne County public schools who need psychological, behavioral and emotional counseling are not getting the

help they need. Carson found that while five of the county's 13 schools have at tenet ene fidi-time ceunsetcr, two

Summerville High School. Also worth saying is that the school in its statement of beliefs says it is committed to doing what's bestfor every student and promises to provide a nurturing environment. Summerville is certainly not alone. Last week, a student at Soulsbyville Elementary, where a counselor is on duty 18 hours a week, threatened a teacher.

Democratic Pa: Not for Grown-ups Think of today's Democratic Party as the little village of Hamelin. A pipercalled Bernie Sanders toots his socialist tune, and all the little Democrats skip along behind him to ... where exactly? According to the medieval legend, the Pied Piper of Hamelin led the children away and drowned them. "Socialist" was once an epithet in American politics, but the Obama years may haveeffected a change. Fully 25 percent of Americans, Pew reported in2014, disagreed with the statement:"Most people are better off in a free market economy, even though some people are rich and some are poor." Fans of irony will note that in Vietnam only 3 percent disagreed with that same statement, with 95 percent endorsing capitalism. Bernie Sanders thunders that the U.S can become a good Scandinavian-style socialist paradise — but without the huge taxes on the middle class that support those systems. (Denmark has the highest taxes in the world.) Sanders may be disillusioned to discover that

The idea that "the rich" sit permanentlyatop a pyramid ofworker drones is false.

Afraid of the truth?

It has often been said we have turned to our schools to solve all the problems of society. And in many ways it's true. The public schools are mandated to take all the children w ho arrive at their doorsteps,no matter their readiness for learning or their ability to navigate the world. Yet the best schools are those that meet each child where he or she is and proceed to teach and to nurture. Counsel-

ing plays a huge role in that. One bright spot in Tuolumne County is the Learning Center, where students who have been expelled spend 50 percent of their time in counseling. But why wait until it

ville Four in the community — all face eight charges of conspiracy to commit assault, which are felonies. When the arrests were announced they were originally charged with conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon, but the charges were downgraded before they ap-

peared in court. An official in the District Attorney's office explained that the new charges better fit the evidence.

There was never a deadly weapon. Many people Carson has interviewed have described one of the boys as troubled, a once fun-loving child who turned into an angry teen. An adult friend of the boy said, "He

Doctor delivers baby on flight LOS ANGELES — It was a honeymoon that Dr. Angelica Zen likely won't ever forget, and not just because of the romantic Bali vacation. On her way home to Los Angeles last week, the UCLA physician made her first unassisted delivery of a newborn baby when a passenger suddenly went into labor over the Pacific Ocean. The China Air flight, which had departed from Taiwan, was diverted to Alaska. Mother and newborn daughter left for a hospital, and the flight continued on to Los Angeles. The fourth-year resident had previously delivered two infants, both under the su-

As a result, the winner of the 2016 presidential election will become the third American commander in chief to

WASHINGTON (AP) — American specialoperations analysts were gathering intelligence on an Afghan hospital days before it was destroyed by a U.S. military attack because they believed it was being used by a Pakistani operative to coordinate Taliban activity, The Associated Press has learned. It's unclear whether commanders who unleashed the AC-130 gunship on the hospital — killing at least 22 patients and hospital staff — were aware that the site was a hospital or knew about the allegations of possible enemy activity. The Pentagon initially said the attack was to protect U.S. troops engaged in a firefight and has since said it

is familiar with some of the documents describing the site. The intelligence suggested the hospital was being used as a Taliban command and control center and may have housed heavy weapons. After the attack — which came amidst a battle to retake the northern Afghan city of Kunduz from the Taliban — some U.S. analysts assessed that the strike had been justified, the former officer says. They concluded that the Pakistani, believed to have been working for his country's InterService Intelligence directorate, had been killed. No evidence has surfaced publicly suggesting a Pakistani died in the attack, and Doctors without Borders, the international organization that ran the hospital, says none of its staff was Pakistani. The former intelligence official was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke only on condition of anonymity. The top U.S. officer in Afghanistan, Gen. John Campbell, has said the

was a mistake.

The special operations analysts had assembled a dossier that included maps with the hospital circled, along with indications that intelligence agencies were tracking the location of the Pakistani operative and activity reports based on overhead surveillance, according to a former intelligence official who

strike was a mistake, but he has not explained exactly how it happened or who granted final approval. He also told Congress he was ordering all personnel in Afghanistan to be retrained on the rules governing the circumstances under which strikes are acceptable. The new details about the military's suspicions that the hospital was being misused complicate an already murky picture and add to the unanswered questions about one of the worst civilian casualty incidents of the Afghan war. They also raise the possibility of a breakdown in intelligence sharing and communication across the military chain of command. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said questions about what the Defense Department knew about the clinic and whether it was communicated to personnel operating the gunship would be part of the Pentagon's investigation. He said President Barack Obama was expecting a "full accounting."

The legislation aimed to reduce the number of prisoners by lowering sentences for certain felonies, making county probation departments responsiblefor supervising parolees deemed "non-violent, non-sexual and non-serious," and settingaside funds for counties to implement programs as alternatives to incarceration.

Since the legislation — also known as the 2011 Public Safety Realignment — took effect, California has authorized $2.2 billion to finance construction of new county jails, the CURB report stated. "What we found is that counties are failing to take advantage of this opportunity in California," Buchen said. "Specifically, they are reinforcing their reliance on incarcerationby expanding old jails and building new ones." Tuolumne County has received $33 million from the state to replace the old jail at 175 Yaney Avenue in Sonora, which was constructed in 1961. Another $11 million for the jail will be funded by the county through a mix of one-time funds, internal borrowing and outsideloans,accordingtothe county's funding plan. The new jail is intended to improve conditions for inmates and employees, while expanding the number of beds from 147 to 216. Long before AB 109 was passed, the county's jail was

Also a tTuesday's meeting, the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider: • Awarding a $92,775 contract to KASL Consulting Engineering Inc. for a rehabilitation study on the wastewater collection system in the township of Tuolumne, funded by a federal Community Development Block Grant. • Authorizing county staff to apply for up to $450,000 in funding through the state Department of Housing and Community Development to provide housing relocation assistance for people with dry wells due to the drought. • Hold a public hearing at 11 a.m. to provide direction to county staff on options for future ambulance system operations. The county has contracted with a Manteca company for ambulance services since 1987. • Hold a series of public hearings starting at 1:30 p.m. to consider: Submitting an application for $750,000 in federal CDBG funding to connect up to about 41 homes with dry wells to the Tuolumne Utilities District water system; approving plans and specifications for an estimated $1.2 million project to install a stoplight atTuolumne and Standard roads; and approving annual rate increases for trash collection as required by the county's contract with Waste Management.

Regardless, if WLC Architects manages the paperwork, individual contractors fill out the initial documents, and should know the requirements, said Michelle Tucker of Construction Industry Force Account Council. Tucker was among those to point out the mistake last week and is also the parent of a Sonora High student. As a member of the district paying off the bond, Tucker said she wants to ensure the projects are performed by the most qualified contractorspossible. Contact Sean Carson at scarson@uniondemocrat.

and the green fiag is dropped, Fryer says the anxiety dissipates. The only thing that matters at that point is ramming a car that can reach speeds of 80 miles per hour into the competition. 'You' re going out there and you have other cars that are just going to smash into each other, you kind of get a little nervous about that," Fryer said. "You have a 3,000-pound car that, if you don't catch it, is going to put a good hit on you." Fryer first began his tenure as a demolition derby drivera decade ago. Back then, he, who rode dirt bikes prior to derbying, sat in a little car against the big boys. Though Fryer says hegotbeatup allovertheplace, he grew to enjoy it. 'You can actually go out there and destroy something and not get in trouble for it. It helps take some

aggression out," Fryer said. "It also helps just to have fun." The past few years have seen little of Fryer as a demolition derby driver in Sonora however, after he became a derby promoter locally. He has since been moreofa traveller,because he can't participate in shows that he advocates for. "I just travel. I enjoy it. I like to derby," Fryersaid."I'vetravelled to Napa, Santa Rosa, Calaveras, I' ve even went to Utah. That's the farthest I' ve travelled." But all of that is set to change Saturday when Moondog's Moon Bash Fall Brawl derby comes to the Mother Lode Fairgrounds. The derby, one that Fryer will take part in, was originally scheduled for late September in Plymouth but has been relocated due to the Butte Fire. "I am excited. I get to hit my part-

DERBY Continued from Page Bl

The Big Dreams Starry Night Dinner held last month at Hurst Ranch in Jamestown raised $20,000, which will be put toward the construction of a universally accessible park and playground in Tuolumne. Guests wore dressy white attire and brought their own picnic dinners, after which Hurst Ranch provided train rides and local auctioneer Mike Schaffer donated his services during a live auction. The event was hosted by Big Dreams UAPP, a nonprofit organization formed in 2012. The proposed park will be in Tuolumne and will cost about $500,000. The organization so far has raised more than $140,000. Meetings are held at 5:45 p.m. on the third Monday of each month at the Tuolumne Veterans Memorial Hall, Main and Pine streets.

Christian M c CafFrey ran for a s chool-record 243 yards and four touchdowns while gaining 369 all-purposeyards for the Cardinal (5-1, 4-0 Pac12), who won their fifth straight i n im p ressive and entertaining fashion against the Bruins (4-2, 1-2). On a night full of big plays, none topped Owusu's 41-yard TD catch. Hogan threw for 131 yards on eight completions and McCaffrey took over the national lead in allpurpose yards with 1,518 for the Cardinal, who have scored 225 points the past five games after being kept out of the end zone in a season-opening 16-6 loss at Northwestern.

Bears in pink prevail over Bullfrogs, 3-0 By GUY DOSSI The Union Democrot

aaF

October is breast cancer awareness month. Pink is the

maigre

color that represents finding

a cure to a disa' that killed 41,150 women in 2012. When th e S u mmerville Bears took the field Thursday night at Thorsted Field to face the Bret Harte Bull&ogs, they were dressed in white, orange, black, and pink. All 19 players wore pink socks. For Summerville players Vazul Ktes and Justin Noonan, wearing pink is more than just an October trend. In 2010 Ktes' mother, Julie, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Though the cancer hadn' t progressed very far when it was discovered, it was was a blow that nobody is ready for. Julie read up on it and consulted with others about the steps, and eventually beat cancer. "I respect people wearing pink very much," Hites said. "I honor those people and I wear it with pride. I am very proud of my teammates for wearing pink." For Noonan, it was his aunt who had breast cancer. Noonan, like Ktes, knows first-hand how important support is for those with the disease. rTm glad we can show our support to people who have

cancer," Noonan said.

Perhaps they will continue to wear pink for good luck, because the Bears beat Bret Harte 3-0. The Bears took the lead within the game's first two minutes. Trey PetersonWood received a pass &om David Vehr and saw he had an opening by the near post. He took his shot and gave Summerville the early 1-0 lead. Following the PetersonWood score,the Bret Harte defense shutout Summerville the remainder of the first haK It was a combination of the way Bret Harle was playing defense, and the Summerville inconsistencies that &ustrated the Bears head coach Dave Reel. "I thought we played a good first 10 minutes or so," Reel said. "We played a lot with the ball on their half, but it's just the execution. We are just trying to dean some things up. W e just seem tolose ourway at times and we make the wrong

decision at the wrong time. It just makes you reset the whole thing and you find yourself constantly starling over. And when you do that, you don't get anything going." Bret Harte got a strong efFort &om Anthony Fleck. Fleck, a former goalkeeper, is still learning how to play outside the box, yet his coach Francisco Munoz, was impressed with his perfor-

After getting past ace pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Greinke, the Nets will try to reach the World Series for the first timesince 2000.

Daily fantasy sports sites ordered to shut down in Nevada LAS VEGAS (AP) — ¹ vada regulators ordered daily fantasy sports sites like DraftKings and FanDuel to shut down Thursday, saying they can't operate in the state without a gambling license. The decision comes amid growing backlash by investigatorsand regulators over the sites, which have grown in popularity in the past year, and could cause ripples in other states that have questioned their legality. Regulators elsewhere often watch decisions made by Nevada's Gaming Control Board since it governs Las Vegas area casinos. Participants on the unregulatedsites can compete in games involving NFL or college players, paying an entry fee that goes into a larger pool. They try to assemble teams that earn the most points based on real-life stats in a given period, with a certain percentage of top finishers earning a payout. Entry fees on DraftKings range from 25 cents to more than $5,000. Some prizes top $1 million. DraRKings and FanDuel say the sites provide games of skill and not chance, and are therefore protected by the Unlawful Internet Gambling E n forcement Act established in 2006. Until now, the sites have been available in all but five states where their legality has been called into question. "If you' re licensed in Nevada, you' re good to go," said A.G. Burnett, chief of the Gaming Control Board. That includes traditional sports books where gamblers generally wager on the outcome of a given game. There are no licensed daily fantasy sports sites in Nevada. A notice issued by the Gaming Control Board said the sites must stop offering their contests to Nevada residents immediately, and until they are granted ali cense. Operators face felony fines and 10 years in prison for running an illegal gambling site.The board said it worked with the state attorney general's office for several months to look into

the sites' legality. "Since ofFering (daily fantasy sports) in Nevada is illegal without the appropriate license, all unlicensed activities must ceaseand desist from the date of this notice,"the decision said. The sites can apply for licenses. Joe Asher, CEO of sports book William Hill's U.S. operations, has repeatedly said daily fantasy sports is gambling and should be treated like all other legal gambling operations. He said theboard's decision speaks for itself.

New York and pitcher Jacob deGrom trailed 2-1 in the fourth inning of the decisive Game 5 of their NL Division Series when Murphy singled and theDodgers shifted three infielders to the right side and left no one near third with lefthanded hitting Lucas Duda at the plate.

"I was for super nervous being called up and honestly, I thought it would be a lot harder," Machado said. "I'm glad that I' ve got great teammates that support me through all this and help coach me." The Summerville coaching staff earlier this week called up perhaps the most exciting player from the JV in Luke Fulkerson. With injuries at running back, most notably to his older brother, Jake (who re-injured his surgically repaired knee), Leveroos felt that the time was right to bring him up. "Luke Fulkerson was ready weeks ago, but we left him down there to allow the JV

still able to compete for their championship and were able totake care ofbusiness below," Leveroos said. "As we witnessed the twos and threes around Luke get better, and the fact that we got dinged again last week to the running back position, it just made sense." L uke Fulkerson is n o t the same player as his older brother. But he's close. Like Jake, Luke has the ability to make one man miss and go the length of the field for a score. That is something that has been missing since Jake went down three weeks ago. Though he knows he's not his brother, Luke possesses something that Jake does not. "I have two good knees," Luke said with a smile that onlya little brothercan have. "I'm not as strong or as fast or as smart, but I play just as hard as him. And, because we are brothers, I wanna be better than him." Having Luke Fulkerson line up as a halfback, also puts Ulvevadet back at his m ore comfortable position at fullback. Any time the coaches bring a player up to the varsity, it' s because they are ready to help and will be a starter. But Leveroos never truly knows

what he has in a player until the chips are down and the game is being played. "Seeing them practice with our own varsity kids, we knew that physically they could do it," Leveroos said. "It's not un-

This was more like it. Drew Brees passed for 312 yards, Watson racked up a career-high 127 yards receiving to go with a fourthdown touchdown catch, and recently reeling New Orleans handed the Atlanta Falcons their first loss this season, 31-21 on Thursday night.

Michael Mauti, who grew up near New Orleans after his father, Rich, played for the Saints, blocked a punt and recovered it for a touchdown, delighting the Superdome crowd with a play reminiscent of Steve Gleason's famous block against Atlanta in 2006. Gleason, now paralyzed by ALS, was at the game, watching from his motorized wheel chair. He reacted with this Twitter post: 'Hey, Falcons. ¹NeverPunt." "The cool thing was that Steve was here to see that," Brees said. "It brought back some good memories."

Devonta Freeman rushed for 100 yards,including a 25-yard TD, for Atlanta (5-1). Matt Ryan passed for 295 yards and two TDs. He also was sacked five times, including three fordefensive end Cam Jordan. "We made mistakes early on and it cost us," said Freeman, who also turned a short pass into a late 13yard score. "Ifeellike we beat ourselves, but they' re a talented team and they did a lot of great things tonight."

Preston won an award that

placed him among the top four high school performers at the Nick Hardwick and Donald Butler football camp this past summer.

back from the camp and knows what it takes to be very successfulat the level he wants to play at. You just can't be good. He's got to be very, very, very good ... very great, at this level."

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: Nov. 6, 2015 Time: 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 3, at 60 N. Washington St., Sonora, CA 95370 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with

the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in section 9100 of the California Probate Code. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

The street address or other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 28620 Herring Creek Lane Strawberry, CA 95375 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made is an "AS IS" condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by the Deed of Trust, to wit: $522,555.64 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 888-988-6736 or visit this Internet Web site www.salestrack.tdsf.corn, using the file number assigned to this case 0125001554. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Visit to nursing home is solely son's choice D EAR ~ : My wi f e and I are nearly 90 years old. Five months ago, she had a stroke and has since been residing in a nursing home. We both

come from small families. Everyone

his ex-wife find excuses to continue to

has visited my wife except for our oldest son.

I called my older son and asked when he was going to see his mother. His response was a tirade, saying, "Who are you to tell me when to visit?" and "You never listen to whatever I tell you,"

along with, 'The others live closer and ittakes me six hours to drive there."I told him that I have a lot of things on my mind and cannot listen to his outburst, and then I hung up. There is public transportation from his city to his mother's location. We' ve never had a conflict prior to this outburst. Until now, he had been visiting threeorfourtime sayear.Asa resultof our age and health, we have not visited his home for the past few years. Our younger son is very supportive

so would I." That's it. No arguing or pressuring. The rest is up to him. DEAR ANNK: My boyfriend has been divorced for 33 years. Still, he and

in helping us and visits frequently. However, he is reluctant to get involved in an altercation between his brother and us. How do we get our son to realize what he is doing to his parents?FRUSTRATED DEAR FRUSTRATED: We don' t know if there are some issues between your son and your wife, or whether your sonsimply cannot deal with his mother being in a nursing home. Either way, you cannot force him to visit, even though, obviously, he should. Instead, phone him and say, gently, "I realize how dif6cult it is for you to come tothe nursing home. Whenever youcan make it,Iknow your m other would love to see you, and

communicate about their grown sons. Recently, I got excited about getting one son a gift for his 35th birthday. My boyfriend said they "don't do gifts around here." So I gave it up. Then I found out that he had gone in on a gift with his ex and another son.

Why do you think he had to lie to me about it? Should I take it as a clue and move on? —ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN DEAR OUTSIDE: First of all, it is normal for divorced parents to communicate about their grown children until the end of time. It is only a problem if one of the expartners has designs on the other or if they are overly involved in one another's lives. Lying about a gift, however, is

worrisome. Your boyfriend may have lied because he thought you' d be angry that he made ~ ements with his ex, but that doesn' t excuse his behavior. It only undermines yourtrust,making you wonder what other things he may be doing with the ex, and whether he wants toexclude you from hisfamily. These are the things you need to talk to him about. If he won' t discuss these issues, or cannot give you satisfactory answers, it' s time forcounseling or goodbyewhichever you think will provide a senseof security foryou.

Growing up, every day after school, my mother treated us to some type of sweets, whether it be something she baked or made, or candy and sugary

Keith Roach, M.D.

drinks from the local convenience

store. Of course, this resulted in my adult teeth being in very poor condition. I removed all sugar from my diet beginning in my early 20s, and have continued eating and drinking this way ever since. I can hardly eat a pieceof fruit because the natural sugar is now too "sweet" for my palate. My one and only source of"sweetness" comes from Splenda, which is in the tea I drink daily. My question to you is, Can a body go on without sugar? I know that there aresugars in some regular foods that aren't sweet, but is that enough on a daily basis? — F.L. ANSWER: Humans need modest amounts of protein, as there are some amino acids that our body cannot

synthesize (called "essential" amino acids). We need these to create the structural proteins, enzymes, hormones and other important components of our bodies. Similarly, there are essentialfatty acids,so modest amounts of fat also are necessary.

Sugar, on the other hand, is something the body is able to make, so is not necessary to take it in through food. More and more evidence is suggestingthat excess sugar increases

risk for chronic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease. Keep up your low-sugar diet. You might try fruits that are naturally lower in sugar, since they are a good part of the diet in reasonable quantities. DEAR DR ROACH: My total

cholesterol is 200 — my HDL is 74, LDL 115 and triglycerides 66. Would you prescribe a statin medication if this could be controlled by diet?L.A. ANSWER: It would have to be a very unusual situation for me to recommend a statin to someone with your cholesterol numbers. If you had known blockages in your arteries, then you should be on a statin regardlessofyour cholesterolnumbers; however, your risk for heart disease islow,based on theseresults.Idorecommend a healthy diet for everyone. DEAR DR. ROACH: My mother had a type of gout in her knee that wasn't caused by uric acid. It flared up after she got food poisoning. Do you know about this? — T.M.P. ANSWER: I wonder if she had pseudogout. Like gout, pseudogout is a condition of crystals forming in the joint, leading to inflammation and its attendant pain, swelling, warmth, redness and loss of function. Joints affected with pseudogout tend not to be as powerfully inflamed as those with an acute gout attack. Gout crys-

Today is Friday, October 16, the 289th day of 2015. There are 76 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On October 16, 1995, a vast throng of black men gathered in Washington, D.C. for the "Million Man March" led by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. On this date: In 1916, Margaret Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York. (The clinic ended up being raided on October 25 by police who arrested

Sanger.) In 1962, President John F. Kennedy was informed that reconnaissance photographs had revealed the presence of missile bases in Cuba. In 1968, American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos sparked controversy at the Mexico City Olympics by giving "black power" salutes during a victory ceremony after they'd won gold and bronze medals in the 200-meter race. In 1969, the New York Mets capped their miracle season by winning the World Series, defeating the Baltimore Orioles, 5-3, in Game 5 played atShea Stadium. In 1978, the College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church chose Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (voyTEE'-wah) to be the new pope; he took the name John Paul II. In 1984, Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu was named winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for his decades of non-violent struggle for racial equality in South Africa, In 1987, a 58-1/2-hour drama in Midland, Texas, ended happily as rescuers freed Jessica McClure, an 18-month-old girl trapped in an abandoned well.

tais, made from uric acid, seem to be more irritating to the body than calcium pyrophosphate, the crystals of pseudogout.
