Sonora High School senior Courtney Schertz, 17, is on the lookout for fellow students who represent the best of her community.

The Big Creek Fire was sparked July 29 off Highway 120 and Sprague Road near Groveland and was fully contained Aug. 4, after burning 204 acres. Cal Fire officials said the blaze, which threatened 25 homes and prompted evacuations in the Hells Hollow area, was caused by an escaped debris pile burn. In an investigation report obtained by The Union Democrat, Matthew Gilbert, a Cal Hre battalion chief, said Vilmur admitted to startinga fire to dispose of trash between 8 and 9 a.m. July 29.

"Given Vilmur's past history regarding extinguishing campfires and debris fires, I am concerned Vilmur may again recklessly cause a fire, n Gilbert said in the report.

GUEST COLUMN

Conservatives taking hunters for granted Froma Harrop The Durfee Hills contain some of the finest elk hunting grounds in Montana. Some 2,700 acres of this majestic country is open to sportsmen, courtesy of the land's owner, the United States government. But "no trespassing" signs could sprout if two rich Texans succeed in persuading the federal government to give them the hills in return for another chunk of land ontheir360,000-acre spread — a parcelproviding the only road access to 50,000 public acres along the Upper Missouri River. Both federal properties are overseen by the Bureau of Land Management. If they prevailed, the Wilks brothers would create a world-class private hunting preserve the size of a small European country. This is not an isolated case. A lot of open space is closing around Montana, Wyoming and throughout rural parts of the West as billionaires and developers vie to shut out the public. They are getting a helpful push &om conservative politicians demanding that Washington dispose of the huge amount of federal land it owns, especially throughout the West. Though these politicians routinely declare love of hunting — all but posing with a moose draped over their shoulders — they are in effect calling for the closing of the land used by 72 percent of Western hunters. Republicans in the U.S. Senate, meanwhile, recently passed a nonbinding budget resolution calling on thefederalgovernment todisposeofallitsland other than national parks and monuments, which are almost entirely ofF-limits to hunting. "A lot of politicians are making the claim that these lands are worthless, when in reality these are the lands that matter the most to the average sportsman," Joel Webster of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, a group of environmentalminded hunters and anglers, told me. In a doubled double cross to hunters, the National Rifle Association backs the politicians wanting to close off the land to public sportsmen. Some hunters have told me that they refuse to be NRA members. The Wilks brothers can play hardball. Their N Bar Ranch surrounds the Durfee Hills, so hunters must flyin,and they do.The brothers put a fence around the BLM land, depriving hunters of the elk that graze on their ranch property.

And theyposted armed guards on the old road leading to the Missouri River, a road that was open until 2011. (They' re now allowing temporary public access, perhaps to ease local anger.) "If the BLM caves in," said Don Thomas, a Montana-based outdoors writer, "it will establish a dangerous precedent that could eventually spell the end to public land hunting and fishing throughout the West." Some of the politicians tell the sportsmen that federal land taken over by states would be kept open to hunting. That's nonsense, Webster said. Most state constitutions require that state lands be managedforprofi t.In Colorado,for example, 80 percent of state land is closed to hunting. You can' t even walk your dog there. This is the scenario if the land were transferred to the states: The states would immediately complain that there's no money for maintaining it — and raising taxes is against their religion. "What happens next," Webster said, "is the states identify which lands have the most industrial potential. Then the+I sell the prime real estate landsthe lands with lake&onts and mountain basins — to

billionaires and developers. That's how you maximize profit, right?" About 640 million acres — mostly BLM, U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service land — is in the crosshairs. Western hunters had better counter this movement to curb federal land ownership — or they may no longer be Western hunters. Eroma Harrop ta an award-winning syndicated

Women suffer more under Obama policies Now that Hillary Clinton has, by default, sewn up the Democratic nomination, expectDemocrats to play the gender card for all its worth. In August, Clinton lashed out at the GOP field: "extreme views on women, we expect from some of the terrorist groups ... but it's a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States."

Hazard fuel reduction project To the Editor: Highway 108 Fire Safe Council, PG&E Partner to help Keep Communities Safe An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That's why California Fire Safe Councils and Pacific Gas and Electric Company are working together to protect public safety and enhance emergency preparedness by reducing the threat of wildfires.

The public-private partnership has accomplished a lot. Over the past two years, PG&E has provided more than $7 million in funding to dozens of local Fire Safe Councils for fuel reduction, emergency accessand defensible space projectsin local communities.

In Tuolumne County, PG&E provided $145,000 to the Highway 108 Fire Safe Council. The council completed three fuel reduction projects in the Columbia area.

earned rising incomes. Over the past decade, that progress has stalled out. An alltime high of 57 million women over the age of 16are out ofthe labor force today and not collecting a paycheck. All those Obama stimulus programs and more than $7 trillion of red ink added to the national debt haven'tput women back tow ork. Liberals counter that the gap between women's wages and men's wages has narrowed in the past five years. But the major explanation for this is that so many fewer women are in jobs now. Women who fall out of the workforce tend to be at the lower end of the income scale — so perversely, the gender gap appears to have fallen. This statistical illusion hides the reality that, for millions of women not able to find work under the Obama recovery, their earnings have fallen to zero. There are a multitude of unforced policy errors that explain why the U.S. economy has pummeled workers. Obama has hobbled the economy with punitive tax rates, $7 trillion in new debt, minimum-wage hikes, regulatory overreach and Obamacare. Women have been the front-line victims of these failed policies. What should give all of us pause — and especially women — is that if you listen closely to the policy ideas of Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, they sound very much like they are promising four more years of all this. That really would be a war against women!

Poll: GOP front-runner Trump

is hard sell for Hispanic voters NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is widely unpopular among the nation's Hispanics, a new AP-GfK poll finds, challenging the billionaire's oft repeated assertion that he will win the Hispanic vote if he becomes his party's nominee. The surveyfi nds many of the Republican candidates running for president would probably struggle to win significant support among Hispanics in a general election. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are their favorites, but even they are a hard sell, the poll suggests. Even so, most in the field are unknown to enough Hispanics that they might have a shot at proving themselves. That's a particular struggle for Trump, who began his campaign for president by calling some immigrants &om Mexico rapists and hasvowed todeportalloftheestimated 11 million people living in the country illegally if he is elected president. Trump is viewed

unfavorably by 72 percent of Hispanics, with 6 in 10 having a very unfavorable opinion of him, the AP-GfK poll finds. Only 11 percent view him favorably. Janet Murguia, president of the National Council of La Raza, the Hispanic civil rights advocacy group, said the findings are no surprise and "consistent &om what we' ve heard from the community." Trump's provocative comments about the character of immigrants and his plans for

mass deportation and construction of a wall allalong the Mexican border stirred a backlash from Hispanic groups. He also bailed on an event with Hispanic business leaders. Nonetheless, Trump says Hispanics love him. "I have fantastic relationships with the Hispanics," Trump said last week. "I employ thousands of Hispanics right now, tens of thousands over the years I' ve employed. They' re fantasticpeople."

Policy stirs free-speech debate at LA campus LOS ANGELES (AP)Students, professors and activistswrangled at a public forum Monday over how bestto address intolerance at the University of California, with some Jewish groups arguing the schools should adopt a policy with a more precise definition of anti-Semitism and others saying it would stifle free speech. A working group of regents and u n iversity leaders invited input as it works torevise a proposed policy denouncing intolerance, which Jewish organizations criticized in September as not going far enough to deter what they describe as a spike in antiSemitism on UC's 10 campuses. The public system with nearly 250,000 students has become a focal point in the discussion of &eedom of expression and civil liberties on college campuses

following several high-profile incidents, including one in which swastikas were spray-painted on a Jewish &aternity house. "Jewish students are fearful to show their support for Israel," said Leore Ben David, a campus coordinator for the Zionist Organization of America. David and other Jewish groups pressed university leaders to adopt the U.S. State Department's definition of a nti-Semitism, which includes denying Israel's right to exist and blaming it for all interreligious or political tensions.

dropped off dramatically," he said. Sonora Fire Chief Aimee New, who was hired by the city in April afler 20 years with the Lodi Fire Department, heard about the event's cancellation and stepped up to keep the history alive. The first Fireman's Ball to be hosted at theSonora Opera Hall in February 1886 was apparently a grand occasion, according to an article published by the Tuolumne Independentnewspaper on Feb. 22, 1886. As quoted in the Tuolumne County Historical Society's CHISPA quarterly publication, the 1886 article stated: "The Columbia Brass Band was playing a brilliant selection when we entered the ballroom and saw some 500 people in line in the Grand March. When we reflected that we had promised to 'write up the ball' we saw at once that we had tackled a subject too big for us — in fact, 'bit o6'more'n we could chew.' " The event was held throughout the 1920s at Turn Verein Hall, where Courthouse Square is now located. It was later moved to the old Sonora High School gym, the city's largest building at the time. In the 1950s, the Mother Lode Fairgrounds became home to the event for the next40-plus years, before finally moving back to the Opera Hall in the mid-1990s. "I just didn't want to see a special event like that go by the wayside or be cancelled because of the amount of work it takes to host one," New said. Mike Mandell, also a retired Sonora fire captain, said that volunteer fire companies were the main social hubs for many towns back in the mid- to late 19th century. Money raised &om the annual Fireman's Ball was used to purchase the city's first handpumper in 1876, which is currently on display at the museum. "They combined fundraising and having fun," Mandell said. Nowadays, the volunteers raise most of the money used to maintain the antiques at the museum through selling tri-tip sandwiches during the Mother Lode Roundup Parade and other events in the city. Their membership has dwindled over the years from more than 150 to only10 at present time.

Although the main goal of this year' s Fireman's Ball is to break even and keep the event going long into the future,New saidany additional proceeds will go back to the museum. Another goal of keeping the event aliveis to reconnect the current paid, full-time firefighters with the city's volunteer roots, said New, who plans to have interns spend some of their time volunteering at the museum to learn

about the department's history. "If you don't get the younger people to learn about the history and get involved, it will all just fade away," she said."Well allhave to retire sooner or later, and what better way to commem-

Playful pumpkin-shaped sandwich cookies are filled with chocolate frosting.

Recipe gives carving pumpkins awhole new (sweet) meaning By STEPHANIE BARLOW Tribune Content Agency

PumpkinCookie' Ops

While there's no shortage of Halloween recipes floating around these days, in order to make the cut in my household, I aim for delicious first and cute second. These pumpkin sandwich cookies hit all the delicious marks — they' re made with both real pumpkin and pumpkin spice, they' re perfectly soft, and they sandwich quite nicely with chocolate frosting. And could they be any cuter? Cutting out jack-o'-lantern faces makes these bake-sale-adorable, for sure. Here's how you can make a batch for yourself.

The dough will be loose and sticky before baking, so pop the bowl in therefrigeratorfor a bit to help when portioning the dough on the cookie sheets. Also, be sure to flatten them to about a quarter of an inch thick. This is the key to successful carving once they' re baked — too thick and the cookies can crumble when you try to carve the faces. The soft texture of the baked cookies also helps when scoring the cookies with pumpkin-like vertical lines (if you choose to do this step). Carving the faces, much like carving actual

pumpkins, is a labor of love (and at times, firustration), but if you stick with it, the result is well worth the effort.

Pull these out of the oven just as they' ve set and the edges have become golden, sothey're still soft but fully baked inside. Go thick on the frosting — this is Halloween, after all! Treat yourselfl Stephanie Barlow is a writer

Late last month I attended the Sunset Magazine's annual "Savor the Central Coast" wine and food event near Paso Robles. Staged outdoors on the historic Santa Margarita Ranch property, the informative event featured a number of local wine producers, chefs and regional food producers along with a series of demos on several stages. The number of wineries in San Luis Obispo County has exploded over the past decade, and while my focus was on connecting with some new properties along with checking on developments at long-timefavorites,one of the more fascinating venues was a panel discussion and tasting on apple ciders. I am not talking about fresh squeezed cider you can share with your kids but rather the fast growing fermented cider that has taken the country by storm. "Hard cider" is not new to American culture.Itwasa staple ofearly settlersin the British colonies. It is reported that, in the 1670s, some New England villages with apple orchards were producing upward of 500barrels or about 25,000 to 30,000 gallons of cider a year for their community! Even children drank hard cider with breakfast and dinner. FiAy years later in the early 1720s, it is estimated that several villages in New England reported cider production of over 3000 barrels a year. Cider consumption at the time was not without serious consequences, as whole families suffered from alcohol-related deaths and problems. These problems led to a growth in the temperance movement. The early 1800s was probably the peak for hard cider, and it is not fully understood as to why its popularity virtually disappeared in the United States by the start of the 20th century. Higher-alcohollevel beverages, such as rum and brandy, were equally faced with consumption problems but did not disappear like cider did. Apples were still an important crop in the U.S., and prohibition eventually became a factor, butitneverregained itswidespread interest until just recently. Some think that the immigration of a large number of Germans in the mid 1840s along with French and Italian winemakers here for the California Gold Rush and East Coast expansion lead to the interest in other fermentation processes. Beer consump-

tion skyrocketed in the 1850s, and hard cider sales declined in this country. One might think that improvements in availableclean water access also contributed. Fastforward tothisdecade and the rapid interest in hard apple cider. "All one has to do is watch cider commercials to see how the large beer manufactur-

ers aregetting involved in its production and want to tap into the growing market. Their promotion (of cider) actually helps everyone in the business," observed Jack Watkins, owner and cider maker of Sonora's Indigeny Reserve, our local premium hard cider producer.'We see production doubling at ourfacility overthenextyear,and visitationtoour tasting room and picnicgrounds has also grown two fold over the past year." Harvestingmore than 300,000 pounds of apples thispastyear,Indigeny produces three styles of cider. The "Extra Crisp," their most popular style, is clean, refreshing and sweet, while the certified "organic cider" is less sweet and falls into the drier style that is gaining momentum. "The recent addition of a blackberry cider has been a big hit, and we are gradually making it available at restaurants to serve by the tap along with our flagship Crisp cider," shares Jack, who is busy with severalother projects too.They also produce brandy and, later this winter, will introduce their line of infused vodkas. Back to my tasting panel experience. "Cider is the fastest growing alcohol beverage in the world right now" according to Neil Collins, brewer at Bristols Cider. "Worldwidesaleswere up 39 percent over last year." Collins is from England where cider has never really lost its popularity. He started making small batches in the mid-1990s and now produces a limited line of commercial ciders at his Lone Madronne Win-

ery property that he shares with his wife and sister near Paso Robles. All his ciders are fermented on the native yeastsand are 100 percent applejuice.He shared a tasting of his most popular cider, See CIDER/Page B6

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED •

•

The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation. They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h Ouniondemocrat.corn

Use your tax knowledge and experience to work for the nation's tax leader backed by more than 60 years in the business. Flexible hours,

Anti-social behavior not uncommon in teens DEAR ANNIE: I am very antisocial. I don't go to parties as often as most teens, I hardly ever invite friends over, and the few friends I do have no longer attend the same school. I don't belong to any clubs or do other extracurricular activities. I spend most of my days at the computer, watching TV or pacing back and forthin my backyard. My parents have noticed my lack of social skills. My older sister is the same way. I know I can make more friends if I try, but I don't know how. So, Annie, how does a 14-year-old who's never had a circle of friends, never been a partygoer and never had her first kiss learn to be normal? —LONELY FOR LIFE DEAR LONELY: You are not as abnormal asyou think. Many teens have difficulty with their social skills, even though you may not see it. Plus, it sounds as if there is a family history of social anxiety. The fact that you

Annie's Mailbox '~~> want to change is a good sign, and we have every confidence

you can takecharge of your life. First, make an effort to get out of the house more. Force yourself to sign up for at least one extracurricular activity at school. Make a vow to smile and say hello to as many classmates as possible. Invite a new friend to go with you to the mall or come to your house and watch a movie. Be interested in what others have to say. All of these things require effort, and you will have to push yourself at first, but it will get easier over time. DEAR ANIVII<:: I met my girlfriend three years ago and learned that her stepfather had sexually

abused her when she was young. H er mother knew butnever did anything to help her. We now live together and have a child. On several occasions, I have suggested she get counseling, but she either refuses or puts it ofK The stepfather is still married to her mom. I can't stand the fact that she doesn't realize how this infuriates me. This man should be taken off the streets regardless of how long ago the abuse happened. How do I get her to seek counseling? —CONCERNED DEAR CONCERNED: We know how upset you are, but please remember that this is not about you, and the constant pressure on your girlfriend undoubtedly makes her additionally uncomfortable and stressed.We urge you to call RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656-HOPE (1-800-656-4673) and ask how you can best help her.

DEAR ANNIE: When I was 18, I found out I had genital warts, and my world came out from under me. I thought only bad girls got STDs. Mom called me names and insisted no one would ever want to touch me

again. She asked the doctor if I was allowedto use the same toiletseats as the rest of the family. Mom was wrong. I have been married for four years to a wonderful

man. "Sad Mom" is doing the best thing for her daughter just by being there for her and not letting her beat herself up for the mistakes she has made. Someday someone will see the beautiful person she is. — MENDING RELATIONSHIPS A nnie'8 Mailbox i s

Reactive blood pressure causes treatment confusion DEAR DR ROACH:I am sensitive to blood pressure machines. Whether on my wrist, arm or leg, they hurt, and

my blood pressure goes up. This has resulted recently in a dentist not wishing to extract a tooth because her machine measured my pressure at190/98.A few years ago, prior to minor surgery, the machine got a similar result. They tried to inject me with something to bring it down, and it went down alarmingly low. During visits to my primary-care physician, my pressure is consistently around 138/82. An old-fashioned cuff is used, and is gently and slowly pumped up. I feel I am at risk of medics misunderstanding this and refusing treatment or overreac ting.Iwonder ifmy case is unique or if others have the same problem. What can I do? — R.W.G.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Oct. 27, the 300th day of 2015. There are 65 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Oct. 27, 1787, the first of the Federalist Papers, a series of essays calling for ratification of the United States Constitution, was published. On this date: In 1954, U.S. Air Force Col. Benjamin O. Davis Jr. was promoted to brigadier general, the first black officer to achieve that rank in the USAF. Walt Disney's first television program, titled "Disneyland" after the yet-to-be completed theme park, premiered on ABC. In 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, a U-2 reconnaissance aircraft was shot down while flying over Cuba, killing the pilot, U.S. Air Force Maj. Rudolf Anderson Jr. In 1978, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin (men-

AH'-kern BAY'-gihn) were named winners of the Nobel Peace Prize for their progress toward achieving a Middle East accord. In 1980, opera star Beverly Sills gave her last public performance during a farewell gala at New York' s Lincoln Center. In 1990, death claimed bandleader Xavier Cugat at age 90, author Elliott Roosevelt at age 80 and French movie director Jacques Demy (" The Umbrellas of Cherbourg") at age 59. In 1995, a sniper killed one soldier and wounded 18 others at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. (Paratrooper William J. Kreutzer was convicted in the shootings, and condemned to death; the sentence was later commuted to life in prison.)

BHIDQ Look at second card in suit By PHILLIP ALDER

I 63 When a fit is found, both partners can include shortage points (or follow the guidelines of the Dealer: South Losing Trick Count). When North raises hearts, Vulnerable: Both South can add one point for each doubleton, g etting him up to 19 support (high-card plus South West Nor t h Ea s t shortage) points — enough for his jump to game. 1 V pass 2V 31 (Alternatively, his hand has only five losers: one 4V Pass Pas s Pas s spade,one heart,two diamonds and one club. This is the number for a jump to game opposite a Openinglead:I 9 single raise.) Should West overruff declarer? With kingdoubleton, yes; but what about king-third? Now it primarily depends upon the second card in the suit. If it is relatively high — typically at least the eight — the defender should not overruff, in the hope that that card will be promoted as a winner. In this deal, if West overruffs and, say, shifts to a spade, South wins that trick, draws trumps, and claims. But if West calmly discards, he will eventually take two trump tricks, with K-10-4 sitting behind A-J-8-7-2. That seems to be easy, but as you know, bridge loves exceptions. We will look at one tomorrow.

California Statewide Communities Development Authority CaliforniaFIRST Program All Covered Jurisdictions THE CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY GIVES NOTICE that:

1. Intention to Finance Seismic Improvements, Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and Other Authorized Improvements. Pursuant to a resolution entitled "Resolution Declaring Intention to Finance Installation of Seismic Strengthening Improvements, Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and Other Authorized Improvements and Other Related Matters," adopted on October 9, 2015 (the "Additional Authorized Improvements Resolution of Intention" ), the Commission of the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (" California Communities" ) has determined with respect to its existing CaliforniaFIRST program that it would be convenient, advantageous, and in the public interest to designate an area, which shall encompass the entire geographic territory within the boundaries of the counties, and cities in Los Angeles County, listed at Appendix 1 of the Additional Authorized Improvements Resolution of Intention (collectively, the "Covered Jurisdictions," and each a "Covered Jurisdiction" ), within which California Communities and property owners within the Covered Jurisdictions may enter into contractual assessments to finance the installation of seismic strengthening improvements that are permanently fixed to residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, or other real property including, but not limited to, the seismic strengthening of cripple walls and sill plate anchorage of light, woodframed buildings, electric vehicle charging infrastructure that is permanently fixed to residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, or other real property and all other improvements authorized from time to time thereafter (collectively, the "Additional Authorized Improvements" ), in each case pursuant to Chapter 29 of Part 3 of Division 7 of the Streets & Highways Code of the State of California (" Chapter 29"). The Additional Authorized Improvements Resolution of Intention, including Appendix 1 thereto, is on file with the Secretary of the Commission, and reference is made thereto for the particular provisions thereof. The Additional Authorized Improvements Resolution of Intention ratifies and incorporates all the resolutions that the Commission has adopted, and other actions taken in furtherance of those resolutions that the Commission has taken, with respect to the CaliforniaFIRST program except as superseded by the Additional Authorized Improvements Resolution of Intention. 2. Report. Pursuant to the Additional Authorized Improvements Resolution of Intention, the Commission ordered preparation of a report that amends and restates the existing report for the CaliforniaFIRST program (as amended and restated, the "Amended and Restated Program Report" ) at or before the time of the public hearing that contains all the matters described in Sections 5898.22, 5898.23, 5899 and 5899.2. 3. Contract. Chapter 29 authorizes (or may in the future authorize, as applicable) California Communities and property owners within the Covered Jurisdictions to enter into contractual assessments to finance the installation of Additional Authorized Improvements. The Amended and Restated Program Report will contain a draft contract (the "Contract" ) specifying the terms and conditions that would be agreed to by California Communities and property owners within the Covered Jurisdictions. 4.

Halloween Pum kin Cookies Makes 12 sandwich cookies

For the cookies 9 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup pumpkin puree 3 large eggs 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix Orange food coloring (or a mix of red and yellow), optional

For the frosting 1/4 cup unsalted butter 3 tablespoons cocoa powder 1/4 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups powdered sugar 1. Preheat the oven to 325 F: Place one rack in the top third of the oven and another rack in the bottom third. Line two baking sheets with parchment or nonstick baking mats. 2. Makethe cookie dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream to-

gether the butter and sugars until they' re smooth. Mix in the pumpkin puree. Mix in the eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice, then slowly stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture. Mix just enough to combine the ingredients. Add a few drops of orange food coloring if you'd like a deeper orange color. 3. Chill the dough: Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 4. Portion the cookie dough onto the bakingsheets:Scoop up about 2 tablespoons of dough and transfer to the baking sheet. Continue with the remaining dough, positioning the cookies a few inches apart.You should have about 24 cookies. 5. Flatten the dough: Dip your fingers in water and use them to flatten each mound of dough to about 1/4inch thick. 6. Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pans and swapping shelves once during baking. The cookies are done when they' re slightly puffed and just starting to turn a darker shade of goldenaround the edges. Cool completely. 7. While the cookies cool, make the frosting: Melt the butter in the microwave, then whisk in the cocoa powder. Add the milk and vanilla, and whisk until frothy. Make sure the

cocoa powder has completely dissolved. In a stand mixer with a beater attachment, with a hand mixer, or by hand with a whisk (and a strong arm!), work the powdered sugar into the liquids a little at a time until fully incorporated. The frosting should be thick but spreadable. If runny, add more powdered sugar; if too stiff, work in a teaspoon of milk. 8. Cut out jack-o'-lantern faces: Set aside half of the cookies as the "bottoms." With the remaining cookies, use a sharp paring knife to cut a notch from the top of the cookie for the pumpkin stem and then to cut jack-o'lantern faces. 9. Make the "pumpkin" lines (optional): This is optional because scoring the pumpkin lines is adorable but can make the cookie a bit fragile. Use a paring knife to score three to four lines down each cookie to make pumpkin-like lines. Press lightly, just enough to make a clear line. The dull edge of a butter knife works well for this, too, pressing the lines rather than breaking the surface of the cookie. 10. Assemble the sandwich cookies: Spread a thick layer of frosting over the "bottom" cookies. Top with jacko'-lantern cookies. Add an extra dollop of frosting in the notch at the top for the stem. 11. Enjoy! These cookies are best if eaten within two to three days. Store in an airtight container on the counter.

CIDER Continued from Page Bl a dry example at 7 percent alcohol. He continues to experiment with different fermentation ideas, including producing it in retired bourbon barrels which he sampled that afternoon at the Sunset Central Coast event. He is truly a maverick with that example. In addition t o b e i ng bourbon-barrel aged for 10 months, he also introduces brettanomyces to its ferm entation. Brett, as i t

commonly called, is a key component of "sour" beers and an unwantedbacterium

in wines. Think earthy and a bit horsey. This cider is actually bottle fermented, slightly cloudy, and displays less carbonation. With a golden color it is rich, slightly sour and afullbodied 18 percent alcohol. The panel also included Brendon Cosgrove, a beer brewer at Toro Brewing Company near San Luis Obispo, along with Doug Martin of E inhorn Beer Company, who also represents Common Cider, one of Northern California's premium cider producers. The three craftsmen discussed

various developments and trends in brewing beer and cider. We sampled Apple Saison from Common Cider, which displayed clean apple fruitiness, slight sweetness but had crispness to balance out the fruity apple characterand 6.5 percent alcohol. With 8 grams of sugar per serving, it is less than the large commercial producers, which have upward of 24 grams of sugar per serving and have "natural" apple flavors added in most cases. While the c raft b eer m ovement continues t o grow, it would not be surprisingto seethe craA cider interestgrow equally as fast. Experimentation and purity of product will yield some very special ciders. Sonora-area resident

BRIEFS NFL: 3udge's ruling was 'unfathomable' NEW YORK — NFL lawyers told a federal appeals court in Manhattan on Monday that it was "unfathomable" that a judge could decide to lift New England quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension in the "Defiategate" controversy. The lawyers said in papers filed with the 2nd US. Circuit Court of Appeals that Judge Richard Berman reached an "inexplicable" conclusion when he determined that the league failed to adequately warn Brady of the potential suspension and made errors in its investigation that required him to nullify the penalty. The league asked the appeals court to reverse the lower-court judge and reinstate the penalty that would have keptBrady out ofthe firstfour games ofthis season. Berman's ruling came a

THE UN' DEMO CRAT

Cardinals hold off Ravens with late pick GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Chris Johnson rolled his way to a big play, Joe Flaccocouldn't quite respond with one of his own. And the Arizona Cardinals escaped with a 26-18 victory over the luckless Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Johnson rushed for 122 yards, 62 on a play where he rolled over the bellyof a big defender and kept on running to set up a field goal. Baltimore (1-6) drove to the 4 in the final seconds before Tony Jefferson's interception deep in the end zone clinched the victory for NFC Westleading Arizona (5-2). "A lot of things happened during the game," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. "Good, bad and one ugly one,but we fi nished and made a great play at the end." Arizona led 26-10 before Asa Jackson's blocked a punt to set up Joe Flacco's 1-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Juszczyk. The 2-point conversion pass to Nick Boyle made it an eight-point game with 4:26 to play. Baltimore got the ball back and Flacco quickly moved the team down-

field before the final ill-fated throw. "The punt block and all of a sudden you let them in," Arizona's Carson Palmer said, "but that's what you want on Monday Night Football.' We made it a game at the end." Flacco and Harbaugh said they had trouble with the communications system throughout the game, particularly in the final drive. The eight-point loss was the most one-sided of the season for the Ravens.

Johnson also ran 26 yards for a touchdown. The 30-year-old running back, signed late in training camp after recovering from a gunshot wound during the offseason, topped 100 yards for the third time this season and didn't even play in the fourth quarter. The last Arizona player to do that was Edgerrin James in 2007. Palmer completed20 of 29 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns. Flacco was 26 for 40 for 252 yards, with a touchdown and that one interception. The Ravens' Justin Forsett had a14-yard touchdown run,butfinished with only 36 yards in 12 carries.

A 26-10lead seemed comfortable before Bryant burst up the middle to block Drew Butler's punt to set up the final Ravens touchdown. The play of the night came in the third quarter, when Johnson hit the line and was pulled down, but he came torest on the belly of6-foot-1, 335-pound Brandon Williams. Johnson's knee or elbow didn't touch, so he alertly got up and kept running to the 4. "I was standing right in front of him and he was sitting on top of the guy," Arians said. "He wasn't down and no whistle blew, so it was a good call." The play set up Chandler Catanzaro's second 21-yard field goal, making it a two-possession game at20-10. After Arizona scored again, Catanzaro's try for the conversion bounced off the right upright and was no good, setting the stage for the tight finish. The only turnover of night, beforeJefferson's interception, led to a touchdown that put the Cardinals up 14-10 at the half and Arizona never trailed again. Baltimore,leading 10-7, forced a

punt late in the second quarter. Justin Bethel, a Pro Bowl player on special teams the last two years, stripped the ball from punt returner Jeremy Ross' hands and recovered at the Ravens 25. Penaltiesgave Arizona a series of chances inside the 5 and, finally, Palmer threw 3 yards to Michael Floyd for the score to put Arizona up 10-7 with 1:01 left in the half. The Cardinals won a close game for the first time this season. The others

were blowouts. "We wanted to be in these types of games to see if we can win it," Arians said, "but we exorcised that, 'Can-wewin-it-at-the-end thing?' So, I was very, very pleased." Notes: Dwight Freeney got his first sack as a Cardinal.... Arizona cornerback Jerraud Powers left the game with a hamstring injury in the first half.... Baltimore players who left the game: cornerback Tray Walker (concussion), guard/tackle Kelechi Osemele (knee) and wide receiver Marion Brown (shoulder).

Pharoah is favorite for Breeders' CupClassic LEXINGTON, Ky. Triple Crown champion American Pharoah was m ade theearly 6-5 favorite Monday in a field of 10 for the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic, the last race of his career. The colt will break from the No. 4 post on Saturday at Keeneland. He is 6 for 7 this year, and is coming off a loss in the Travers two months ago. Beholder drew the far outsidepost and is the 3-1 second choice for the 1 V4-mile race against male horses. Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari pulled the numbered pills that decided the positions at the draw. Beholder and American Pharoah are both based at Santa Anita, where her trainer Richard Mandella was tempted to get a jump on the highly anticipated showdown.

US mensolid in world gymnastics qualifying GLASGOW, Scotland — Alex Naddour watched his buddies labor through one skittish pommel horse routine after another, none with any particular degree of precision or artistry. The good vibes surrounding the somewhat patchwork U.S. men's gymnmtics team were gone. The seemingly comfy spot in the team finals and the automatic spot in next sum-

RAIDERS

pressure on Philip Rivers and shut down the run, helping Oakland build a 37-6 leadbefore23 fourth-quarter points by San Diego made the final score much closer than the game felt. "As coaches, that's what we try to do," Del Rio said. ''When it comes together, it's very rewarding, but it' s about players playing well on game day. It comes down to our ability, for 11 guys to go out on the field while the rest of us are standing back behind the white lines and the 11 guys on the field be abletoexecute the plan."

The Raiders had a lot of players who did that Sunday. Carr threw for 289 yards and three touchdowns, while committing no turnovers. He had help from his bigplay receivers as both Cooper and Crabtree turned short catches into l ong t ouchdowns. Cooper finished with ive catches for 133 yards and f is the first rookie since Mike Ditka in 1961 to have three 100-yard receiving games in his team's first six games. Latavius Murray also ran for 85 yards and a score and the Raiders got strong line play on both sides of the ball.

two games come against teams ahead of them in the wild-card race, starting with Sunday's home game against the Jets (4-3) followed by a trip to Pittsburgh (4-3).

Then, about a week after Perez made the final out in Game 7 of the World Series, he joined a contingent of All-Stars that played an exhibition series in Japan. No wonder he skipped winter ball in his native Venezuela for the first time in years. Royals manager Ned Yost, himself a former catcher, said in spring training he was going to give Perez more time off this year. Yost noticed the pounding the three-time AllStar had taken in 2014, and thought his postseason strugglesatthe platewere a refl ec-
