"You can fly over a tree and determine if it's dead or not, but it's really difficult to determine if it's vulnerable," Asner said. "We flew over the state of California and believe there's something in the order of 100 million-plus trees in a chemically vulnerable condition." See TREES/Back Page

Coroner ID's men shot in Rail Road Flat

Yosemite Valley is home to some of the tallest vertical cliffs in the world, including El Capitan, the largest single solid block of granite on Earth. People who crave high-angle sports like big wall climbing, highlining, parachuting and wingsuit flyinghave been drawn fordecades to the3,000-foot rock faces on El Cap, the 2,000-f oot face of Half Dome, and the 3,500-foot drop from Taft Point to the Valley floor. Others who like ascending and descending steep rock gullies are drawn to the4,300-footdeep cleR of Tenaya Canyon, known to searchand-rescue personnel as the Bermuda Triangle of Yosemite. Parachuting and wingsuit flying are illegal in Yosemite National Park, but that hasn't stopped people who like doing it. In May, experienced wingsuiters Dean Potter ,43,and Graham Hunt, 29, leaped from Taft Point and sustained fatal injuries when they failedto clear a rock ridge on their fhght path to the valley floor.

The identities of three men killed Tuesday in a shooting near Rail Road Flat have been released. Terry Glen Looney Jr., 44, of Waterford, Wesley David Smith, 46, of Snelling, and Robert Daniel Haney, 60, of Modesto, all died of gunshot wounds, said Calaveras County Coroner Kevin Raggio. Raggio said he could not comment on how many times or where on their bodies the men were shot.

Schools districts commonly rely on a tome of state-advised policies to protect their campuses. Required to be updated only annually, the often 6-inch binders can sit on a shelf gathering dust because of an overabundance of cryptic board policy, said Ken Fitzgerald, health and safety planning coordinator for the Stanislaus County Office of Education.

Sterling was born on December 22, 1921, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to William Edward Bigbee and Emma Adelia Olson. Sterling graduated from Edison High School in Minnesota in 1941. He began his aviation career in the 3042 ND Army Air Force Base Unit in King City, California, where he worked until his enlistment and active duty in 1943. He attended severd aircraft maintenance schools and was a mechanic and aircraft inspector and crew chief until discharged in 1946. The Army Air Corps (now U.S. Air Force) experience and training began a 70-year career of aircraft maintenance for many types of early aircraft up to the size of B-29s and jets. Sterling owned his own aircraft maintenance business at Columbia Airport from 1966 until 1984 (Bigbee Airer& Service). Since that time, many of his hundreds of aircraft friends (owners and mechanics) have returned to Columbia to seek his advice on old aircraft and to relive the good old days of early postwar aviation. Sterling owned and flew many types of aircraft during his career. Likewise, Sterling was instrumental ' in the development of the Airport restrooms, picnic area and facilities that are still used for events at the airport. Sterling was involved in community activities through the Lions Club International, the Flying Samaritans md Tuolumne County Aeronautical I'g; Association. Sterling was preceded in death by his wife, Betty L. Bigbee in 1976; they were married October 25, 1953 for 22 years, his father, Willi~ B i gbee, mother Emma Bigbee, brother Willis, and sister Lorene. Sterling is survived by his children Pat Haefer, son-in-law Herb of Columbia, Cheryl Allen, son-in-law Terry of Jamestown, Barry Bigbee of Columbia, and grandson Robbie Allen of Jamestown. Graveside services will be held on November 14, 2015 at 10:00 at Mt. Shadow Cemetery, with a Celebration of Life to follow . at the Airport Campground at 12:00 on November 14, 2015.

GUEST COLUMN

Give kids a holiday from divorce Connie Schultz /

Halloween is just around the corner, which means we' re on the cusp of another season of anxiety and misery for too many children of divorce. For the past few years, I' ve tried to time this column for right before Thanksgiving, but an increasing number of divorce lawyers tell me that' s too late. We should start talking about who comes first — hint: they' re always younger and usually shorter than the squabbling grown-ups — around Halloween, which is often the trigger date for holiday visitation negotiations. The same two parents who used to argue over which of them would have to traipse through the neighborhood with the kids for trick-or-treating now go to the mat over who gets to deprive whom of even a glimpse of their children's costumes. Think of it as the warmup round for the all-out war to come over Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Year' s. And as any divorce lawyer can tell you, the more cherished the holiday tradition the more vulnerableitisto revenge parenting. I am not referring to parents whose primary concerns begin and end with their children's wellbeing. Bless them, every last one of them, for they shall know their children's love and gratitude for the restoftheirdays. My concern is for children whose parents tend to be either newly separated or eternally embattled. Aside from the dangerous parent, the only thing worse for a child than a parent reeling from the fresh wounds of a broken vow is one who has chosen to live out the rest of his or her life brandishing old injuries. In either drama, the worst roles always fall to the children. Primary parents can get territorial, acting as if they are doling out a favor or two rather than abiding by a court order. Non-primary parents can succumb toa bottomless pitofdespair,looking for slights that don't exist. In both instances, the parents make the children feel responsible for the supposed grown-ups' self-esteem. You know how frustrating it can be to try to calm an adult who doesn' t want to feel better? Now imagine trying to do that when you' re 6. All the while, children watch and learn. Boy, do they learn. In time, they will figure out who lied and who didn't — and who was and wasn' t willing to put them first. There's no redo for that. They also absorb the harshest lessons of the marriage their parents modeled. Good people can fall out of love. Good parents contain the damage so their children can grow into adults with a fighting chance for happiness. A special request on behalf of all the children too afraid to ask: Please take them holiday shopping for the ex-spouse, who will never be their exparent. I' ve seen this heartbreak play out time and again. Children want to be part of the gift giving, too. If you can't bring yourself to help them make a present and you can't be trusted to shop with them unless you travel with your own exorcist, ask a friend or relative to do it. I' ve lived long enough to know there is yet another good reason to raise your children in a bitter-free zone: One day, you will want to know your children's children. There is nothing like falling in love with your grandchildren. Just when you think you' ve seen and felt it all, you discover a whole chunk of your heart that was hibernating until they showed up. Last weekend, my husband and I welcomed our fourth grandchild. She is perfect because she is ours — you know how that goes — and it would never occur to either of us to distinguish our relationship to her by bloodline. We love her mother and her father, and now we love her. We married almost 12 years ago, each of us escorted by two grown children. The way we see it, we have four children, four children-in-law and four grandchildren, with a fifth on the way. The only time we have to consider the particulars is when someone outside our family attempts to sort our children like poker chips. There is no faster route to my bad side than to ask me which grandchildren are "really" mine. Immediately, those offenders' names go into that file folder in my head titled "What Is Wrong With People?" Most children want to love everybody in their family, and they rely on us adults to show them how. We are their role models, always. What kind of role model shall we be?

Biden decision leaves both parties in disarray Joe Biden has made it official: He is not

running for the 2016 Democratic presiden-

tial nomination. It's the latest development in a presidential campaign cycle that has not been going according to script. Biden said that personal factors played a part in his decision. At a time when few children die before their parents, he has had to endure the grief of losing two of his four children — his daughter Naomi in December 1972, his son Beau last May. "There's no timetable for this process," he said in announcing his decision Oct. 21. But it alsohasto be said thatthe voters this year don't seem to be putting a high value on Biden's greatest strength: experience, 36 years in the Senate, seven as vice president. We have seen that in the Republican withdrawals. Rick Perry, who served 14 years as governor of Texas, withdrew Sept. 11. Scott Walker, who has served five years as governor of Wisconsin and eight as Milwaukee County executive, withdrew Sept. 21. And Jim Webb withdrew, at least from the Democratic race, on Oct. 20, a day before Biden. His experience includes Marine service for which he was awarded the Navy Cross; writing acclaimed novels; serving as Ronald Reagan's Navy secretary; and serving as a senator from Virginia, the state whichvoted closestto the national average in the last two presidential elections. That leaves the two parties with clear front-runners in the polls, both with weaknesses that threaten to make them un-

electable in November. Hillary Clinton now looks like the inevitable Democratic nominee. Bernie Sanders,her only rivalwho polls over 1 percent, handed her a lifeline in the Oct. 13 debate when he said he was tired of

YOUR VIEWS Meat indushy isscary To the Editor: I was never scared of all the witches, zombies, and assorted goblins wandering around on Halloween next Saturday night. What really used to scare me was the meat industry. This is the industry that mutilates, cages, and butchers billions of cows, pigs, and other feeling animals, that exposes thousands

of undocumented workers to crippling workplace injuries at slave wages, that exploits farmers and ranchers by dictating wholesale prices, then jails those who document its abuses through unconstitutional "ag-gag" laws. It's the industry that generates

Barone hearing about her "damn emails." But the FBI is still investigating what went out over the private email system Clinton used as secretary of state. An indictment is at least theoretically possible. Even absent that, her candidacy has been damaged. Substantial majorities ofAmericans believe she is not honest or

trustworthy. She currently wins only 44 percent against five leading Republican candidates — well below Obama's 51 percent in 2012. Most parties would not want to go to the voters with such a candidate. But the Democratsseem to have no choice.

Their next debate is scheduled for Nov. 14 in Des Moines. Is there any justification for putting Martin O' Malley (0.5 percent in recent polling) or Lincoln Chafee (0.0 percent) on the stage? Does anyone expect that Sanders will overtake Clinton among any Democratic constituency except higheducation white liberals? As for the Republicans, Donald Trump has outlasted by several months the confident pronouncements that his candidacy would inevitably fiame out. His poll numbershave dipped a bit after each debate, and then revived. His closest current competitor, Ben Carson, has no executive or electoral experience and considerably less knowledge of politics. No other candidate scores in double digits. Republicans debate again on Oct. 28 in Boulderand Nov. 10 in Milwaukee. Then come the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidayseasons.H istory tellsusthatthere

is plenty oftim e for voters to change their minds, and current polling tells us that voters can move quickly between various nonTrump candidates. There'sa widespread expectation that the party "establishment" will settle on one alternative to Trump. But that process isn' t automatic, and when you look for that "establishment" it's hard to find at any given location. There is reason as well for each party to dread the general election. Republicans have heard for years that increasing numbers ofHiapani, black, millennial and single female voters mean their vote share is in inevitable decline. That's plausible. As for Democrats, their turnout has been in decline since November 2008, and it' s not clear that Clinton can match Obama's black turnout or millennial percentages. Obama's low job approval, which has not topped 47 percent since June 2013, provides a weak basis for a third consecutive Democratic victory. That low job approval, more than the visible disarray in both parties (i.e., Republicans' unruly candidates and their turmoil in the House, Clinton's low ratings on honestyand trustworthiness),is probably the biggest factor driving politics in this presidential cycle. The recordaudiences forthepresidential debates — 28 to 24 million for Republicans, 13 million for Democrats — suggest that votersarecasting about restlesslyforalternatives. And that the incumbent vice president's decision not to run may have been prematurely determined.

Feds urge purchase of flood insurance WASHINGTON — With a strong El Nino in place, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is urging Californians in flood prone places to buy insurance before it' s too late. FEMA deputy associate administrator Roy Wright said 1Yiday buying flood insurance is the most powerful action residents can take with the

El ¹ino, which brings heavy winter rains to California. Between 50 to 70 percent of Californians who live in high risk flood areas don't have federal flood insurance. People can check at www.floodsmart. gov. Wright said flood insurance has to be purchased 30 days before a flood hits. Wright said if you buy flood insurance for just one year

this is the year because more than one-third of California flood insurance claims in the past 27years came in just four El ¹ino years.

Clark County firefighters say theyreceived reports of the incident at about 10:20 a.m. on Friday. Clark County Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Buchanan says one plane with two people on board returned to the Henderson Executive Airport. He said the other had one person aboard and was forced to land in a dry lake bed in California's San Bernardino County. Buchanan said there was no fire, but the plane that landed in California was leaking fuel and both had "significant" damage. It wasn't immediately known where the two planes were headed.

The storm was homing in on a Pacific coastline dotted with sleepy fishing villages and gleaming resorts, including the popular beach city of Puerto Vallarta and the port of Manzanillo. After hitting land, Patricia's projected path would quickly take it over mountainous terrain that is prone to dangerous flash floods and landslides. In Puerto Vallarta, residents reinforced homes with sandbags and shop windows with boards and tape, and hotels rolled up beachfront restaurants.

The Hurricane Center said Patricia was expected to remain an "extremely dangerous" Category 5 storm through landfall in late afternoon or evening, before weakening over the inland mountains.

Lethal-injection drugs Fiery bus-truck confiscated by feds collision in French wine region kills 43

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Compounding the nation's severe shortage of execution drugs, federal authorities have confiscated shipments of a lethal-injection chemical that Arizona and Texas tried to bring in from abroad, saying such imports are illegal. The Food and Drug Administration said Friday that it impounded orders of sodium thiopental, an anesthetic that has been used in past executions in combination with drugs that paralyze the muscles and stop the heart. The anesthetic currently has no legal uses in the U.S. "Courts have concluded that sodium thiopental for the injection in humans is an unapproved drug and may not be imported into the country," FDA spokesman JefF Ventura said in a statement. Arizona paid nearly $27,000 for the sodium thiopental, which federal agents intercepted when it arrived at the Phoenix airport in July, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. Texas and FDA authorities gave fewer details about the confiscation there. Texas is the nation's busiest death penalty state, with about 250 death row inmates and 530 executionscarried outoverthe pastfourdecades.Ithasused sodium thiopental in recent years. The national shortage has become more acute over the past few years, ever since European companies started refusing to sell certain drugs to the U.S. Death penalty states have been scrambling to secure supplies, a search that in at least one case led to India and a forlorn-looking business in a residentialneighborhood. States have had to change drug combinations or put executions on hold while they look for other options. As backups, Tennessee brought back the electric chair and Utah the firing squad. Other states also have looked into buying drugs internationally.

The potwas delivered to a home in Hazlet. The homeowner called police, because it was addressed to someone who did not live at the residence.

Police say the person is more than welcome to come to police headquarters to claim them. In the meantime, officers are trying to find the shipper and intended recipient.

An exclusive look at a preliminary map produced by biologist Greg Asner, of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Palo Alto, shows where trees in Tuolumne County are more starved for water than others due to the four-year drought (blue means more water in the canopies, while brown means less water). Asner believes there are at least 100 million drought-stressed trees throughout the state.

Should an emergency strike, would you be prepared? As Mother Lode residents put the devastation of the Butte Fire behind them and brace for a winter with strong predictions an El Nino will bring heavy rains, it' s best tobe ready for the worst. T he Mother Lode i s most at risk for extreme weather, which m eans cold weather in w i nter and hot t e mperatures in summer, said Tracie Riggs, Tuolumne County Office of Emergency Services coordinator. S hould an E l Nin o bring excessive precipitation this winter, residents f ace the possibility of mudslides and flooding, said Mike Spear, Training and Safety Battalion Cal Fire/Tuolumne County Fire Department. There is a 95 percent chance that El Nino will continue through w i nter 2015-16, according to a webinar presented by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration earlier this month. Burn areas from the 400-acre Rim Fire pose a risk of extreme runoff, Stanislaus National Forest Engineer Mike Brads haw said earlier t h i s

In recent columns, Tuolumne County Master Gardeners have written about the benefits of landscaping with plants native to the Sierra Nevadafoothills. Natives need less water,

Other recent burn areas createdby the Butte, Oak and Big Creek res fi hold similar concern, said Spear. Heavy rains could also cause several rivers and tributaries closer to residential centers, like Sullivan Creek in Sonora, to overflow banks, wash out roads and flood homes, Spear said.

few or no soil amendments or fertil izers, and generallypresent fewer problems with pest infestations and disease. They also do a better job in the long run of helping native wildlife and pollinators thrive. And if you' ve experienced the repeated discouragement of trying to grow plants here t hat really belong in t h e wetlands or by the beach, you' ll appreciate what good company our native greenery can be. The sad irony is most of the nurseries we have come to know and love carry a preponderance of non-natives, and the few plants that are"local" aren't typically labeled as such, so who knows? The good news is there are severaloutstanding, easy-to-use resources available now to research and/or purchase native plants. The California N a tive Plant Society (CNPS) has a new tool on its website (cnps.org)that is almost too good to betrue. It's called "Calscape," and the link to it is on their homepage. All you do is click on your location — say, Sonora — on its map of California and, voila, you are given all the plants native to your area, with color photos, by category: perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs, grasses, succulents, vines, ground covers, plants that prefer sun, shade, are drought-tolerant, attract birds and butterflies, etc. T hey even p r ovide a "storage" spotcalled "My Plants," where you can create alibrary of your favorites or the ones you want to try. I clicked on "perennials" and was presented with color thumbnail photos of 92 differentnative plantsl T here were p lants t h at flower inpink, purple, red, orange, yellow and white, which dispels the common myth that natives are boring. And did you know that we have our own native varietiesof asters, columbine, lilies, larkspur and geraniums? I' ve decided to hunt for several natives on the list just because of their names: "Pearly Everlasting," "Canyon Liveforever" and "Texas Paintbrush."

EmergencySupply Kit essentials The Federal Emergency Management Agency, American Red Cross andTuolumne County Public Health Department recommend keeping a three-day supply of food and water that are easy to carry, nutritious and ready to eat. This food should be used within a year, with the exception of dry pasta, rice and powdered milk packed in cans, which can be used indefinitely. Keep items in airtight plastic bags, and put your entire kit in one or two easy-to-carry containers, such as an unusedtrashcan,camping backpack orduff el bag. Since you do not know where you will be when an emergency occurs, prepare supplies for home, work and vehicles. Emergency supply kits should also contain: • Medical supplies and a first-aid manual •Hygienesupplies and a week'sworth of medication • Portable radio, flashlights and extra batteries • Shovel and other useful tools • Household liquid bleach (unscented) to purify water • A three-day supply of drinking water — one gallon of water per person, per day for drinking and sanitation. • Extra cash and matches in a waterproof container • Important paperwork like insurance policies, deed or lease to home, and birth certificates, etc., in a waterproof container

a ome: ecorwi a By KIM COOK The Associated Press

There's no single definition of California style: The state's design sensibilities are as varied and interesting as its geography and climate. You can get a Cali vibe going in lotsofdifferent directions. For instance, moody colors and a connection with th e t emperate,coniferous forests of Northern California characterize that s look. Think weathered w oods,leathers, and boreal forest and coastal hues like indigo, dark green and stone. Southern California's a mix of surf-culture casual and movie-studio glamour. Channel the sun and sand with beachy, "retro-modern" hues (deep aqua, coral, sand) and reclaimed materials. Spacy midcentury modern furnishings in hot

"For me, quintessential 'California Style' is laidback, hip and happy. Our gorgeous natural light is the star, and we support it with breezy fabrics,natural textures and a relaxed vibe," says Kim Myles, Los Angeles-based winner of HGTV's "Design Star." Her tips for aspiring Cali-cool decorators: "The key is to keep it casual. California style is the opposite of uptight, so step away from high-maintenance fabrics and fussy finishes. Simplicity is your friend. One large statement — a

single wall of color or a beautifully patterned rug — supported by lowkey furnishings is more Cali than a room full of fussy clutter." For that statement hue, consider

like the Alain walnut sideboard with hooped, forged-metal legs; the channel-quilted Martin salon chair; and contemporary Indian rugs. Pan-Pacific elements are part of California's design DNA. As Menlo Park designer Rise Krag puts it, "We' re on a coast that shares tides with Asia, and there's always been a fusion of Eastern design elements and philosophy." Krag's mother used to buy Asian rugs, trunks, cloisonne and other objects in San Francisco. Krag incorporates singular pieces like a stepped, Japanese tansu chest with contemporary decor. Check out Spot on Square, a California-based furniture design studio, for its hip, spare Hiya toddler bed, craftedof eco-friendly birch and white MDF board. The Los Angeles design shop Bend Goods interpretsa traditional captain's chair in a new way, using powdercoatedor metal plated iron.

In July, I found out that my older brother is losing his battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Two days later, my other brother, "Carl,"was diagnosed with eye cancer thathas metastasized to otherparts of his body.He isnotexpected to live through the end of the year. I am devastated, as is my other sister. But the reason I'm writing is to help my dying brother not lose his dignity. Carl moved to my state to be closer to my family. He decided against additional treatment and accepted hospice care. He was weak, but st illableto use a walker and get to the bathroom. Within w eeks, Carl b e came alarmingly weak. I wanted him to stay with me, but he said he didn' t want toburden me any longer.He said his friend was in a nursing home and he thought it was fine for

Radiation therapy doesn't cause cancer to spread DEAR DIL ROACH:My husband had prostate cancerin 2013.He was treated with radiation, and was thought to be cured. Well, one year later, he found out he had cancer in his liver. He lived eight months before going into hospice for his last 15 days. Do you think the radiation of the prostatespread thecancerto hisliver? Ifhe had had only surgery, would the cancer not have spread? I am still grieving and questioning.— B.V. ANSWER: Both radiation and surgery can both provide a goodchance for cure in most patients with prostate cancer that is localized, meaning that it has not already spread. Itisnotclearwhichisbetter,and for any given man, radiation might be better than surgery, or vice versa, which

is why the choice needs to be carefully individualized by the experts managing theprostatecancer,includingaurologist, radiatio n therapistand possibly medical oncologist. Radiation doesn't cause cancer to spread, so I think you can stop feeling that your husband did not get the correct treatment. It's likely that a few

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. cancercells had already spread to the liverbefore he got radiation treatment. (That is, if the liver cancer was indeed from the prostate, since you haven't told me enough to know for sure that it was. Many cancers can spread to the liver. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common cancer of the liver itself.) If he had elected to have surgery, the cancer cells still would have already been in the liver, he likely would have had the same outcome,and you probably would be wondering whether the surgery had caused the cancer to spread. I have found that after someonepasses from cancer, their family and loved ones often second-guess their treatment: What if they had gone to a better hospital? What if they had tried a different diet

or supplements? There is an endless list of things you might have done to try to change the outcome. However, the vast majority of the time, there is nothing for a family member to blame him- or herself for. There is no situation so bad that adding guilt on top of it can't make it worse, and the guilt doesn't help anything. I mentioned medical oncology — some early trials suggest that chemotherapy given in addition to radiation therapy may improve cure rates in some men with high-risk prostate cancer. DEAR DR. ROACH:I have dealt with highcholesterolfor15yearsorso,andam now taking Crestor. I have tried diet and exercise, with not much improvement in my cholesterol. I will try to do better with food, but I don't understand why some of the foods on the list of those considered OK have cholesterol: Should I go by the amount of healthy fats, like mono- and polyunsaturated? —R.F. ANSWER: Only animal products contain significant amounts of dietary cholesterol; however, dietary cholesterol is not a major factor in determining blood cholest erol, because blood cholesterol

HORO SCOPE Birthday for October 24.Together you can change the world this year. It can get profitable. Get involved with community projects. Play for big stakes. New love sparks this spring, provoking unplanned chaos. Balance activity with rest. Work a miracle with friends after autumn, and the game gets fun. Dream together. To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19):Today is a 7 — Believe it can be done. You' re especially energized today and tomorrow. It's easier to go farther and make your destination than to turn back. Talk with your partner about dreams and desires. Opposites attract. Imagine sweet harmony. Taurus (April 20-May 20):Today is an 8 — Stay in rather than going out. It's emotion versus reason for the next two days. Choose for good structure. Find what you neednearby.Finish up tasks,and say goodbye to a phase. Prepare your space for what's next. Gemini (May 214une 20):Today is an 8 — Form a strong partnership. Don't let a cute person talk you into being bad. Anticipate disagreement. Your team supports you over the next few days. Make sure what you build is solid. Share what you' re learning. Cancer (June 21 July 22):Today is an 8 — Let others battle. Save your energies for the next round. Your family needs you more than your friends. Prepare for more leadership today and tomorrow. Make decisions and consider the future. Balance business and personal arenas. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):Today is an 8 — You' re ready to ramble over the next few days. Travel and study satisfies your curiosity. Aim for a new depth of experience. An argument is tantalizing. Compromise on expenses and avoid unnecessary quarrels. Find perfect arrangements. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Today is a 9 — Focus on fi-

isregulated.Ifyou eatmore,your body makes less, asyour body has a certain set point, which is largely genetically regulated. For this reason, avoiding dietary cholest erol is no longer considered an important factor in treating high cholesterol.

However, some foods that are high in cholest erolalsoarehigh in saturatedfat, which probably does increase the risk of heartdisease.So Iwould indeed choose foods with low amounts of unhealthy saturatedand trans-saturated fat,while getting good amounts of monounsaturatedfatfrom oliveorotheroils,avocados and nuts. In some people, even a few pounds of weight loss can bring cholesterol levels down without medication.

Today in history Today is Saturday, October 24, the 297th day of 2015. There are 68 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On October 24, 1945, the United Nations officially came into existence as its charter took effect. On this date: In 1861, the first transcontinental telegraph message was sent by Chief Justice Stephen J. Field of California from San Francisco to President Abraham Lincoln in Washington, D.C., over a line built by the Western Union Telegraph Co. In 1939, Benny Goodman and His Orchestra recorded their signature theme, "Let' s Dance," for Columbia Records in New York. DuPont began publicly selling its nylon stockings in Wilmington, Delaware. In 1940, the 40-hour work week went into effect under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. In 1972, Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, who'd broken Major League Baseball's color barrier in 1947, died in Stamford, Connecticut, age 53. In 1980, the merchant freighter SS Poet departed Philadelphia, bound for Port Said (sah-EED'), Egypt, with a crew of 34 and a cargo of grain; it disappeared en route and has not been heard from since. In 1992, the Toronto Blue Jays became the first non-U.S. team to win the World Series as they defeated the Atlanta Braves,4-3, in Game 6. In 2002, authorities apprehended Army veteran John Allen Muhammad and teenager Lee Boyd Malvo near Myersville, Maryland, in the Washington-area sniper attacks. (Malvo was later sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole; Muhammad was sentenced todeath and executed in 2009.)

BRIDGE nances over the next two days to grow your funds. Boost your income. Be bold, yet not aggressive. Pay attention to context. Check for plan changes. Stay out of someone else's beef. Upgrade your image. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Today is an 8 — Get clear on what's wanted before attempting to deliver. Your partner's a big help today and tomorrow. Don't spend until approvals are in. Align on priorities and actions, and then check tasks off your list. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Today is an 8 — Resist a senseof urgency.Keep a steady momentum. Get help where needed. Focus on your work today and tomorrow. Take regular small breaks, and eat well. Care for body and mind to power through a productive phase. Sagittarius INov. 22-Dec. 21):Today is a 7 — The next two days are lucky for love. Move your relationship to the next level. Declare your feelings. Graciously forgive the small stuff (or even big). Avoid provoking upsets. Allow extra time for complications. Get down to basics. Capricorn (Dec. 224an. 19):Today is an 8 — You can juggle this situation. Ask for an extension on previous work before accepting a new assignment. Family comes first today and tomorrow, so don't compromise time at home. Delegate to your team. Make important household decisions. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is a 9 — Investigate a controversy. Value the opinion of a loved one over an authority figure. Study how to keep your digital info private. There are ways. Patiently secure your files and passwords. You' re learning valuable info today and tomorrow. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):Today is a 9 — The next two days are good for business. Your ideas are attracting attention (and cash). Plan carefully. Review facts before taking action. Follow through on what you said you'd do. Guard against technical glitches. Play it frugal.

(With three spades, hewould have raised spades on the previous round of the auction.) West leads the diamond ace: seven, nine, six. He then cashes the diamond king: jack, two, five. Now, looking at all 52 cards, West must shift to his trump. (The curious may work it out.) But most Wests would lead a third diamond, hoping partner could profitably ruff away dummy's winner. Some Easts would ruff, not noting that it costs their natural trump trick. The wiser defenders discard. Then, unless playing with mirrors, South will go down, losing two diamonds, one heart and one spade.

BRIEFING Nichole Wren /Union Democrat

Raiders get top returner ALAMEDA (AP)The Oakland Raiders hope their sporadic running game can finally find some consistency now that Latavius Murray has fully recovered from a shoulder injury that slowed him the past few games. Getting Taiwan Jones back on the field this week is equally important. Jones is Murray's primary backup and the team's top kickoff returner. He also maintains unofficial hold of the title as the fastest player on Oakland's roster despite missing 17 of the past 21 games with a foot injury. The Raiders need the help both offensively and on special teams. Oakland is 27th in rushing and has not been nearly as effective on kickoff returns as it was earlier in the season when Jones was healthy. "Getting Latavius back to 100% and with Taiwan being available helps us," Raiders offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said. "The fact that (Jones) is available again should be a positive." That's definitely how Jones views it, especially after initially thinking his season might end prematurely for a second straight year. A fourth-round pick in 2011 and one of the final players drafted by late owner Al Davis, Jones injured his foot while returning a kickoff against Cleveland in Week 3. It's the same foot he broke in the season opener last year and sidelined him for the final 15 games.

Bears defeat Amador The Summerville Bears boys'soccer team got its fourth shutout in a row and its sixth in Mother Lode League play in a 3-0 win Tuesday night over Amador in Tuolumne. "I thought we controlled allphases of the game," said Bears head coach Dave Reel. "We controlled the ball, out shot them and outscored them which resulted in the win." The Bears took a 1-0 lead into halfbme thanks to a Braden Anderson penalty kick. Ben Richardson scored the Bears second goal &am 30-yards out. He was as-

sisted by Vazul Hite. Anderson scored the final goal of the evening with the assist from Soeren Thiemann. It was senior night at Summerville, so the Bears seniors started and ended the game together on the field.

One player that Reel was quick to give praise was senior Will Hodge. " Will played i n t h e middle and he played outstanding," Reel said. "Ks distribution was great and his hard work was appreciated.Iwasvery im pressed with Will tonight." Summerville ( 1 0-2-1, 9-1-1 MLL) plays its final regular season game Tuesday against Calaveras in San Andreas.

Sophomore Katie Juarez led the Frogs with 10 kills and finished with 21 digs. Morgan Puccinelli had eight kills. Christine Lora had 31 digs and four aces, while teammate Hope Cooper had nine digs. Bret Harte (20-6, 8-2 MLL) needs to knock off firstplace Sonora (25-3,100) Tuesday in Angels Camp to come within one game of the 'Cats with one game left to play.

Thunder returns; Western Conference is loaded The Associated Press

Last season the Golden State Warriors were invigorated by a new head coach and ran circles around the rest of the NBA, culminating with the franchise'sfirst title.

Other Western Conference powers arelooking to follow the same script this season. The Oklahoma City Thunder missed the playoffs last season largely due to injuries to Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka. Both players are healthy this year and new coach Billy Donovan has come in to inject some rhythm and movement into an offense that too of-

ten grew stagnant under Scott Brooks. The San Antonio Spurs made an uncharacteristically big splash in free agency by adding LaMarcus Aldridge, the Los Angeles Clippers fortified an awful bench with Lance Stephenson, Josh Smith and Paul Pierce and the Houston Rockets hope they' ve finally found apoint guard to take some of the pressure off of James Harden. But with Durant back healthy and looking like his devastating old self in the preseason, Russell Westbrook coming off of a career year and Donovan bringing a fresh new perspective, it could finally be the Thunder's year. Of course, count the defending champions — and about four other teams in this loaded conference — out at your own peril. A look at the West:

Playoff bound

In the mix

1. Golden State — Warriors won 67 games last year, dominated on both ends of the floor and return everyone. Going any place else for the West favorite is overthinking it. 2. Oklahoma City — The duo of Westbrook and Durant is as dynamic as any one-two punch in the league. Enes Kanter provides another scoring option in the paint, but the Thunder will have to show they' re deep enough to get through the rugged West. 3. San Antonio — Not only did Aldridge come along, but veteran David West took a pay cut of around $11 million to join up in search of his first championship. 4. Houston — If Ty Lawson can put his alcohol troubles behind him, James Harden and Co. should be right in the mix again in June. 5. Los Angeles Clippers — Arguably as much talent from top to bottom of any roster in the league. 6. Memphis — The inability to land some quality perimeter shooting in the offseason may be this team's un-

9. Dallas — If the banged-up Mavericks somehow make the playoffs head athletic trainer Casey Smith would be a candidate for MVP. 10. Sacramento — Could stay relevant in the playoff picture for most of the season. Could implode before January with the volatile mix of coach George Karl, center DeMarcus Cousins and point guard Rajon Rondo.
