Frank Oyung was known for searching in the dark for people who had wandered o6' a trailand forcaring forthose who broke an arm or leg in a fall. He was a gentle man who introduced many people to the wonders of nature, leading hikes for the Sierra Club for more than two decades. Oyung died Saturday. He was 84. "He was just a dear, dear person. He cared about people and wanted to be active in his community and was incredibly so. He was known by many people for his acts of kindness," said Bert Howard, 82, of Groveland, who hiked with Oyung for 23 years in the Sierra Club. Sierra Club member Paolo Ma6ei, 78, of Sonora, knew Oyung for well over 20 years. "He was such a well-liked person.

CalaverasCommunity Foundation

Grants awarded to Butte Fire victims By JASON COWAN The Union Democrat

Chyrl Hillis said the stress was unbelievable. In addition to her home in Angels Camp being under evacuation advisory from the Butte Fire, Hillis, a member of Calaveras Community Foundation's Publicity, Grants and Website committees, had temporarily inherited the treasury duties of the group's disaster relief fund while Brent Harrington was out of town. Since the fund was established in the second week of September, the nonprofit organization — which raises money togive grants for local,feasiblecauses — has received,almost routinely,between 15 and 20 letters a day with donations ranging anywhere from $2 to $25,000. During a normal week — pre-Butte Fire — the foundation would typically receive four or five letters within a seven day period. "The amount of time I had to spend at the office processing the checks and answering emails and sending emails back was a lot more than I ever thought it would be," said Hillis. "One day, I spent four hours in the office, just doing that. (Normally) I could be back home in half an hour." The foundation on Oct. 16 began distributing the donations to various groups within the county. Though regulations restrict the foundation from providing gifts to individuals,

"We are still in shock. We' reout there every day listening and looking and trying to learn and talking to people. And that has increasedour visibility and our credibility, andit's all very good." — Chyrl Hillis, Calaveras Community Foundation

the foundationhas donated $100,000 to eight groups in Calaveras County. Among the groups that received donations were Mountain Ranch Relief Fund, Calaveras Grown, Calaveras Fire and Rescue District, Common Ground Senior Services, Friends of the Rail Road Flat Schools, Calaveras Humane Society — Butte Fire Vet Assistance Fund, The Resource Conn ection an d

ibility, and it's all very good." Since receiving the donations, the foundation has r eceived requests from 15 applicants, and the foundation thoroughly evaluates each cause. "We do a lot of one-on-one questioning for one thing," said Hillis. "Our treasurer pretty much took that responsibility on his shoulders and went out on the streets to ask people what they' re going to do, if they have a program in mind ... what about this, what about that." However, the process does not just end once the grants are made. Hillis said that within six months the foundation wants each of the eight groups to report back with its progress, what i t would do differently and if t h e money was enough. "If we think that the group did absolutely what they proposed to begin with and they come through with the accountability and it seems viable and we can see that if they had more money they can expand that and touch more lives, then that's what we would use as a guideline," said Hillis. "We wanted to get these first checks

Calaveras County Unit "The way the process worked was that all of our board members were out beating the streets," said Hillis. "If we came across what we considered to be aviable project,we had them submit an application — a one-page email, even, because at that point we didn't have a form to document what they were planning on doing." As of Oct. 16, donations had exceeded $150,000. By the following Tuesday the amount had risen past $200,000. "We are still in shock," said Hillis. "We' re out there every day listening and looking and trying to learn and talking to people. And that has increased our visibility and our cred- written."

On Oct. 26 East Asia watched with great interest as a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer, USS Lassen, patrolled disputed waters in the South China Sea. The Lassen's 72-mile cruise was a calculated and overdue act of muscular diplomacy intended to warn China that its destabilizing South China Sea territorial expansion policy will not be tolerated by the U.S. and its Asian allies. U.S. aircraft monitored Lassen's voyage. Two Chinese naval vessels (the missile destroyer Lanzhou and patrol boat Taizhou) shadowed the American ship. When Lassen slipped within 12 nautical miles of the Chinese installation on Subi Reef (Spratly Islands), Chinese officers warned the U.S. vessel that it had violated Chinese territorial waters. Diplomats quickly turned up the rhetorical heat. China called Lassen's cruise a "deliberate provocation." Its Foreign Ministry summoned the U.S. ambassador to China and told him America must quit "threatening Chinese sovereignty and security interests ..."

Provocation, however, is Beijing's game. China claims most of the South China Sea, though its claims are far weaker than those of Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia. However, China intends to make its claims concrete, literally. China takes what geographers call "sea features" (eg., submerged reefs or rocks). Features don'trate as territory,not according to tradi-

tional maritime law or the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. Law does not deter China's maritime imperialists. Beijing dispatches construction crews, which add acresofconcretebraced by steel.The features are transformed into artificial islets large enough to supportairfi elds for combat aircraft as wellas hangars and warehouses. Now comes the map re-maker's coup de grace: Beijing diplomats declare the manufactured islets to be sovereign Chinese land complete with 12 miles of territorial water. Sorry world, you can' t

sail through here without Beijing's permission. This pile of concrete is as much China as Shanghai. The U.S. disagrees. So do China's Southeast Asian neighbors, with the kowtowing exception of Cambodia, hence Lassen's Freedom of Navigation Operation, a FONOP in Pentagonese. The USN FONOPS demonstrate by presence and action U.S. commitment to freedom of navigation. It has long been American policy to actively oppose maritime territorial claims, which intrude on recognized international shipping l anes. In

2014 the U.S. challenged 19 such claims by six different countries — China, Iran, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela and (ironically) the Philippines. Manila did not object to Lassen's FONOP. China's island construction program has encroached on Vietnamese and Filipino territory. China can bully Vietnam and the Philippines, but the U.S. is a much stronger opponent. Manila has encouraged US action in the region. In May 2014 China and Vietnam squared off over a Chinese oil-drilling project in Vietnamese waters. Vietnam saw the expedition as another

small step toward extending Chinese sovereignty to the "nine-dash line." The nine-dash line maritime boundary China claims includes most of the South China Sea. It dips south for hundreds of kilometers from China's southern coast to near the island of Borneo. Four or five years ago the U.S. began telling China, softly, that its island adventures had gone too far.China paid no heed. In May 2015, ata defense conference in Singapore, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said that China's expansionary policy would have consequences. The region's security architecture "must respect rights, and not just might ..." China claimed Carter's comments were provocative. In September 2015 President Barack Obama met informally with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and China's South China Sea shenanigans were discussed. Xi apparently rejected Obama's bid to find a diplomatic solution. Now the Lassen has sailed. Following the voyage,the Pentagon announced that the U.S.Navy would conduct similar patrols in the area.

Hillary Clinton plays the gender card Here's the setup. Hillary Clinton has been pointing out that her opponent Bernie Sanders, the darling of the leR, has actually opposed gun control. I' ve been pointing that same fact out to folks for some time, and it' s quite compelling. It's clearly had an effect on polls. It's apparent that Sen. Sanders is feeling the heat. His recent response was to criticize Clinton for "shouting" about guns. Presidential politics are never easy. And with his remark, Sanders fed a softball over home plate to an experienced politician. As she has done repeatedly over the last two weeks, Hillary Clinton showed what a formidable candidate she is. "I'm not shouting," Clinton replied calmly. "It's just that when women talk, some people think we' re shouting." Show me a successful woman over 40, and Ibet you dollars to donuts she's "difficult" — atleastaccording to some ofthose who work with and for her. I wager almost every woman has been told, while standing up for herself, to keep her voice down — by her boss or co-workers, her boyfriend or husband, or all of the above. In other words, lots of women could connect with what Clinton was saying. It was a reminder of the historic nature of this election. It will be the first (knock on wood) in which a woman is a major party's nominee for president. And by the way, have I mentioned that

That doesn't mean Sanders disappears. He has already had an impact on the Clinton campaign. He doesn't need a lot of money to stay in. And under the party rules, if he stays in, he' ll collect a proportionate share of delegates. This will at least get him a goodspeaking part and some bragging rights on the platform. Tad Devine, his top strategist, has been in the business of collecting delegates for presidential candidatessince the 1980s,and he's as good at this game as anyone on Clinton's side. But with not a single vote cast, it certainly feels like the race is over. And the latest polls seem to bear that out. In Iowa, Clinton has opened up a 41-point lead over Sanders in one of the polls out Tuesday. I don'texpect 41 points to hold,but I also don't expect Sanders to retain his support in New Hampshire if he crashes in Iowa. Not to mention all the party leaders and elected ofFicials, automatic delegates to the convention, who will be committing to Clinton in droves in the weeks to come. And then the states start falling like dominos. In the interval, for a striking contrast, turn to the Republican race.

Bernie Sanders is against gun control? Meanwhile, in an ironic twist, Vice President Biden's decision not to run seems to havesealedSanders'fate,politically speaking. Conventionally, you'd think that Sanders would be better off with Biden out, leaving Sanders as the only alternative to Clinton. But it isn't working that way, nor should one it expect it to now. With Biden in the race, Sanders would have had two juicy targets who are emblems of a more moderate Democratic party, a nomination that would be viewed as up-for-grabs, and the possi bility ofcarrying theday with 3040 percentofthevote. But Biden is not in the race because, as he honestly admitted, it was too late by the time he was ready. In other words, he couldn't beat Clinton at this point. With Biden's departure, sandwiched between two very strong outings for Clinton (in the first debate, and in her marathon Benghazi testimony), the deal was sealed. You could hear the collective sigh of relief. No more

l an O a e a i n BEIRUT (AP) — Iran will take part in international talks on Syria for the first time this week, giving it a voice in the effort to find a resolution to the more than 4-year-old civil war that has so far defied even the slightest progress toward peace. A crucial backer of Syrian President Bashar Assad, Tehran has been shunned &om all previous talks on Syria. Its inclusion now marks recognition by the United States that no discussion on Syria's future can succeed without Iran atthe table. News of Iran's attendance outraged Syrian rebels, who said its participation will only prolong the conflict. The gathering, which takes place Thursday and Friday in Vienna, will also put Iran in the same room with its most bitter regional rival, Saudi Arabia, raising the potential for tensions. The kingdom, along with other Gulf

Iran's participation reflects its newfound place in the international community following the nuclear deal reached with world powers earlier this year. It also shows the seismic shift brought about by Russia's direct military involvement in Syria since launching a campaign of airstrikes on behalf of Assad last month. That intervention has emboldened Assad's supporters. Russia's intervention — and its insistence that it seeks a political solution — have created a new dynamic. While no one expects a breakthrough, the Vi-

However, some Sonora artists are

able to make a living &om their work. Peter Nordstrom, 35, of Crystal Falls, creates highly detailed, figurative, fantasy sculptures that last year brought in about $55,000 in sales. He sells exclusively online, and is at work on more than 50 pre-orders. His professional career started in 2011, when he was subcontracted by video game company Bandai-Namco to createsculptures to promote therelease of the 'Dark Souls" game. The dark, often frightening figures sculpted by Nordstrom aren't what foothill galleries are looking for, he said, but a sculpture is on display for Halloween at Sonora Joe's Coffee Shoppe. Josh Regalado, 28, of Sonora, performs as rapper Oscar Goldman. He, too, relies solely on his art to generate income.

But the choice has come with sacrifice. Regalado makes $10,000 in a good year, spends seven months a year on the road, and saves money on rent by staying with friends, he said. Regalado began performing in 2010. He quit his job reserving rooms at a Yosemite vacation home two years ago to pursue music full time. Another artist, Zac Calbert, 31, of Sonora, has found "an adult job" that allows the printmaker and musician a creative outlet, while on salary. Calbert is a graphic designer at Foothill Business Cards in Sonora. He plans to transform the business into his own design firm that will focuson large branding and marketing campaigns. The new business model would also incorporate the arts, with an inshop printing press for Calbert's linoleum blocks, hand

common to early print technology. He describes his work as commer-

cial art, not fine art. "I' ve never wanted to be a fine art artist. You don't hear starving artist when you hear commercial artist," Calbert said. "I like comics and cartoons. So if I can get paid doing something close to that ... that's the draw." Calbert said some young Mother Lode artists are "hiding behind minimum wage jobs, living a quiet sheltered life doing what they don't want to do." "I don'tsee a lot of those people planning their route to success, targeting shows or events to have booths at, or working the system that is out there," Calbert said.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has said the predicted El Nino this winter could be strong enough to rival those in 1982-83 and 1997-98. According t o a recent Dodge Ridge press release, the m ountain received a totalof 475 inches of snowfall at its base elevation of6,600 feet above sea level in 1997-98 — about 146 percent of average and was open for 131 days from Dec. 10, 1997, to April 19, 1998.

But nail-biting isn't always so entertaining. In fact, it's an affiiction that may indicate you have a condition associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder that'scalled body-focused repetitive behavior or pathological grooming. Experts say nail-biting is a clue that you' re not handling stressful, frustrating, dissatisfying or boring situations effectively, and that you' re inclined to create short-term, self -soothing habits instead of discovering positive ways to make yourself feel better in the long run. (Researchers have found thatpeople do report that nail-biting immediately feels soothing.) In addition, the American Academy of Dermatology warns that repeated nail-biting can harm the nail bed and lead to abnormal-looking nails. It also can pass bacteria and viruses from your mouth toyour fi ngers,and back again from your nails to your face and

When you can't beat the urge, substitute squeezing a stress ball for nibbling.

Then think aboutadopting long-term stress-busters, like mindful meditation or yoga. And if you still can't beat it, cognitive behavioral therapy or holistic psychotherapy may be smart steps.

To dial in romance, turn off the phone Major League Baseball's rulesofplayer conduct state that there will be no use of mobile phones, laptops or texting in t h e c l ubhouse within an hour of game time nor on the bench or field at any time. But, says Boston sports writer Adam Jones, that didn't keep Red Sox second baseman Pablo Sandoval from running back into the clubhouse to use his phone to access Instagram during a 5-2 loss to the Braves last June.

That kind of disregard for what you should be focusing on is rampant these days, and it even has a name: phubbing, short for "phone snubbing." In fact, recent research, published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior,found that almost 50 percentof folks have been phubbed by their partner, and it's damaging their love life and bumming them out. What are signs you' re being phubbed? Your honey positions his or her cellphone so it can be seen when you' re together; your partner glances at the phone while talking to you; and whenever there' s a lull in conversation, your partner checks the phone.

Testosterone, the hormone associated with men, also is found in women and has been found to be effective for some women with low sexual desire, although there are risks oftestosterone in women also.

I am sure it can't hurt, and it might help. — V.F. ANSWER: I have read many accounts of buttermilk helping treat yeast infections of the mouth (thrush). I found one paperfrom 2009 showing that cultured milk products have yeast-killing properties, and as you say, it's unlikely to hurt. However, standard treatment with nystatin, fluconazole or similar agents is very effective, with few side eIIects.

Today in history Today is Thursday, Oct. 29, the 302nd day of 2015. There are 63 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Oct. 29, 1940, a blindfolded Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson drew the first number - 158 - from a glass bowl in America's first peacetime military draft. On this date: In 1618, Sir Walter Raleigh, the English courtier, military adventurer and poet, was executed in London for treason. In 1787, the opera "Don Giovanni" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had its world premiere in Prague. In 1901, President William McKinley'sassassin, Leon Czolgosz (CHAWL'-gahsh), was electrocuted. In 1964, thieves made off with the Star of India and other gems from the American Museum of Natural History in New York. (The Star and most of the other gems were recovered; three men were convicted of stealing them.) In 1979, on the 50th anniversary of the great stock market crash, anti-nuclear protesters tried but failed to shut down the New York Stock Exchange. In 1994, Francisco Martin Duran fired more than two dozen shots from a semiautomatic rifle at the White House. (Duran was later convicted of trying to assassinate President Bill Clinton and was sentenced to 40 years in prison.) In 1998, Sen. John Glenn, at age 77, roared back into space aboard the shuttle Discovery, retracing the trail he'd blazed for America' s astronauts 36 years earlier. In 2012, Superstorm Sandy came ashore in New Jersey and slowly marched inland, devastating coastal communities and causing widespread power outages; the storm and its aftermath are blamed for at least 182 deaths in the U.S.

West might think that it cannot cost to overruff. But first, he should ask himself what he will do next. East cannot have a quick entry. Also, as the heart king will always score a trick, it cannot gain to overruff. West should discard. South crosses to the dummy and leads the heart nine, which is covered by East's 10 and South's jack. Now West can take his king, and suddenly his eight has become a trick. So, if you have nothing important to do, calmly discard; perhaps even an eight will be promoted as a winner.

After getting eliminated &om the playoffs by Los Angeles three times since 2010, Seattle finally got thebetterofitsrivalto the south and ended the year for theGalaxy, who had won three of the last four MLS Cup titles. Seattlescored twice in the first 12 minutes on goals from Clint Dempsey and Nelson Valdez, part of a wild first half that featured four goals in the first 22 minutes. But it was Friberg providing the winner,taking advantage ofa third defensive mistake by the Galaxy and sending Seattle into the conference semifinals against either FC Dallas or Vancouver.

I stand by my long-held view that no race should finish under yellow, regardless ofhow many restarts it takes. And once youstarttinkering with the number of restarts allowed, particularly midweek, you' re begging for trouble. As

a topper, the Chase's laws of unintended consequences hit hard at Talladega. Ironically, it was Kenseth's tedious march to the 2003 championship that helped pave the way for the Chase.
