TUOLUMNE COUNTY TODAY Preschool Story Hour,

By GUY MCCARTHY The Union Democrat

Two women made the first all-female, one-day ascent of Salathe Wall, the historic route on El Capitan in Yosemite Valley, this past weekend. Libby Sauter, 31, of Las Vegas, and Alix Morris,25, ofYosemite Village, started at the base of the 2,900-foot climb in darkness early Sunday and toppedout before 1 a.m. Monday, completing their push in less than 19 hours. They met before 6 a.m. and parked near El Cap Meadow, sorting gear to soft sounds of Radiohead before walking quickly to the base of the wall. Morris took the sharp end, leading the Cheyne Lempe (above), Tom Evans (below)/Courtesy photos first pitch, while Sauter started the route with a Libby Sauter, 31, of Las Vegas, and Alix Morbad cold. As she and Morris roped up early Sun- ris, 25, of Yosemite Village, Sunday climb the day, Sauter said she planned to be expectorating Salathe Wall of El Capitan (above and below). a lot during the climb. tr Morris, a strong free-climber who knows SalI v athe Wall, led the first 19 pitches in seven and a half hours. Sauter, who said it was her first time on Salathe, led the steeper, slower, aid-climbing pitches in 11 hours. "I feel pretty terrible right now physically!" Sauter said in an email Tuesday morning. "My cold has had a strong resurgence! But I still have every bit as much of the post-send satisfaction going on. Just with a bit of a cough." Cheyne Lempe, another climber with experience on Salathe, roped hundreds of feet down the face from the top to take photos and video of Ptti,,

Enough with

Republican debates until

'I '

field clears There was a time when presidential debates were just that, debates on policy among candidates. Not so Wednesday's slugfest in Boulder, Colorado. Some of the blame goes to CNBC for picking ill-prepared "moderators," who showed more pique than knowledge of the issues in posing questions. But the biggest problem is that there are simply too many candidates onstage to allow for an actual debate. Instead o f voters being able to assess candidates' positionsand discern differences on policy,the format turns into a personality contest, which may explainwhy Donald Trump and Ben Carson are still leading in the polls. And the CNBC moderators fell right into the trap early on. Carl Quintanilla's opening question was, "What is your biggest weakness?" It was a ridiculous way to start the debate — and the questions didn't get that much better as the evening progressed. The presidentialdebates were a disaster for Republicans in 2012, allowing such candidates as Herman Cain to capture the spotlight based on personality alone. This cycle, a large part of the Republican base is split between those who favor the bombastic extrovert Trump and those who favor the soft-spoken introvert Carson. If substance and actual positions on issues were the criteria, neither man would survive (and ultimately, I'm betting that neither will). In the meantime, undecided voters aren't getting a chance to examine where the candidates stand on issues, which is supposed to be the purpose of debates in the first place. The next debate will take place in Milwaukee on Nov. 10. It will air on Fox Business Channel and will be co-sponsored by The Wall Street Journal. Ostensibly, the debate will focus on economic issues (which the CNBC one was supposed to do, as well, but didn' t), with Fox hosts Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo along with WSJ Editor-in-Chief Gerard Baker. The rules will allow any candidate who polls above 2.5 percent toparticipate;thatis a low bar that serves no one's interest but the fringe candidates'. If thebar were raised to 5 percent, we'd have a real chance of seeing an actual debate, though it might mean Chris Christie, John Kasich, Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee would be absent unless

their numbers were to improve over the next week.

Even Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina might fall off, which would be a disaster for Bush. But it might force him to make a decision about whether to continue his race, which has sucked up a lot of money that might be better redirected to a candidate who can inspire voters; yes, I'm thinking Marco Rubio. As for Fiorina, she'd still be in the mix for a place on the ticket if she were to fall back down to the secondary debate, as would Christie and Kasich. If the debate narrowed to Trump, Carson, Rubio and Cruz, voters would have a chance to see who best represents the party. Trump's bombast would become a sideshow. Carson would show just how out of his depth he is in the world of policy and governance. Rubio would continue to show his command of issues but have to face tough questions(ifm oderators arecapable ofasking them) on his economic policies. And Cruz could demonstrate whether he is more than a skillful debater and actuallycapable ofattracting voters. All of this would require that candidates now in the race put the party's chances of winning the White House in 2016 above their own personal ambitions. It's a tall order. But there was a time, long past, when politicians were in it for the sake of something bigger than themselves. Looking at this year's slate of GOP hopefuls, it seems that some are init to boost speaking fees and book dealsor simply toaggrandize their already outsize egos. Others, such as Bush, Kasich and Christie, know they'dmake a good chief executive; they've

'Trump effect' on Latinos already showing up

Shades of 1994 and the "Pete Wilson effect" that very quickly turned California from a swing state that could go either way in any particular election to a solidly Democratic one where only a mega-movie star like Arnold Schwarzenegger could break through for Republicans. It appears Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump might be on his way to doing the same thing to his party on a national basis. The GOPs Wilson did it by heartily backing the anti-illegal immigrant Proposition 187 inhis reelection drive for governor that year, airing a steady stream of TV ads that showed migrants running across the border at San Ysidro while an announcer intoned, "They keep coming." Within less than three years, about 2.5 million legal Hispanic immigrants living in California became naturalized citizens

and virtually all registered Democratic, turning California into one of the country' s most dependable Democratic bastions. A sudden infusion of more than 2 million votersintoone party's base in a single state can do that. It was fear that drove many immigrants who previously were more interested in events in their Latin American hometowns suddenly to take an interest in California politics. Fear that if Proposition 187, with its restrictions on public schooling and hospital care for the undocumented, could pass by a 2-1 margin, legal immigrants might be the next target. Real security against deportation, many believed, could come only via citizenship. As the campaign over 187 played out, thousands of legal immigrants reported racist conduct against them of sorts they

YOUR VIEWS Thanking the Sheriff's Office

of them must realize that in order to get to the White House, you have to win over voters, and they aren't doing a good job of that right now. Maybe the best solution would be to put the debates on hiatus until after the first primaries. At least that way, the candidates could spend their time focusing on actual elections. Eight more debates — two of them in 2015 — are too many. By increasing the number of debates and vastly expanding the numbers of participants, we' ve diminished the value of debates to those who matter: the

On Saturday, Oct. 3, Sheriff Jim Mele held a news conference in which the details of the situation were made public. Since that time, the Tuolumne County SherifFs Office, led by Jim Mele, has provided support, presence, and instruction to our students, staff, and community.

Thomas Elias had never before experienced. At selfserve gasoline stations, it became common to hear cries of "out of the way, wetback," when lines formed. Schoolchildren reported previously friendly classmates hurling similar insults. There were also outright violent acts, all of which created a climate of fear that spurred the citizenship Rood. Now it's happening again. Los Angeles freelance writer Tina Vasquez titled a recent column on the website of the British newspaper The Guardian "I' ve experienced a new level of racism since Donald Trump went afi er Latinos."

Of course, it's not only Trump. As he's led the Republican polls during the first few months of the primary election season, the large troupe of trailing GOP candidates has aped almost all his stances, no matter how unreasonable (imagine the expense and legal problems in rounding up and deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants). For Vasquez and many fellow Latinos, this has translated into individual insults and innuendos of the same sort Hispanics experiencedduring and after 1994. "A couple of weeks ago, while I was running errandsin my neighborhood, a stranger asked me if I was 'illegal, she reported. "Around 10 minutes earlier, another stranger asked me if I spoke English. Both were white and one even called me 'senorita."'

native U.S. citizen who reports she's lived in Los Angeles 29 of her 30 years. Now extrapolate this nationally, just as the many individual racist episodes of 1994 occurred in almost all parts of California. In Texas, fully 3 million legal Hispanic immigrants have never applied for citizenship. In Georgia, it's more than 500,000. In South Carolina, it's about 800,000. And on and on. In each of those states, the number of Latinos eligible to apply for citizenship is more than sufficient to spur the same kind of transformation that occurred here 20 yearsago.All that's needed is for fear to reach the same level it did here. Of course, no one can be sure that will happen, or that Latinos in other states might not be more passive than they were here. But the potential for political change is enormous and only one of the current

GOP candidate crop (South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham) has had the courage to stand up and say so. Meanwhile, Trump and the rest are banking on winning angry Anglo voters, just as Wilson did in 1994. Like him, they might win this year, if only because it takes quite some time to complete the naturalization process. But if they continue their current path, they risk the same sort of second-classstatus fortheir national party that Republicans now suffer with here in California.

On Friday, Oct. 16, I attended the Education-Law Coalition hosted by the Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools, Margie Bulkin. Again, the Sheriff's Office provided valuable information that was immediately implemented at Summerville. On Monday, Oct. 19, Summerville High School held an ALICE safety training on campus led by the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office and the Sonora Police Department. This level of support by the Tuolumne County SherifFs Office is unprecedented. As the proud superintendent of Summerville Union High School District, I want to thank Jim Mele and the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office for their professionalism and cooperation in the past, present, and future as we build a positive future through the youth of this community.

No meat products for me To the Editor: The words &om Calvert Espinoza in his letterto the editor ofOct.24 were the absolute truth.

W e need to be scared into action for the health of our children and ourselves. This generation of children are being exposed to preservatives, antibiotics and artificial hormones like none others in the past. And that's just due to their consumption of animal products. As Calvert Espinoza states, the meat industry generates more water pollution and greenhouse gases than any other negative thing humans do to the earth. Not only that, raising, feeding and processing those animals uses more water than all other sources of our water usage combined. Watering our lawns is only a drop in the bucket. We need to stop eating animal products to save our lives and save water at the

same time. I have joined you, Calvert Espinoza — no meat products for me.

Schools to pay $6M in molestation case LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Unified School Districthas been ordered to pay more than $6 million to two boys molested by an elementary school teacher. Jurors deliberated less than a day before returning Thursday's verdict, which awarded a little more than $3 million to each victim. School officials did not dispute that the boys, both now teenagers, were molested but argued for a lesser amount. Former Telfair Avenue Elementary School teacher Paul Chapel III pleaded no contest in 2012 to molesting 13 boys over a period of nearly five years. He is serving a 25-year prison sentence. The district p r eviously reached multimillion-dollar settlements with some of the other victims. One of the two teenagers was in Chapel's third-grade class. The other said Chapel lured him to his classroom with candy.

He had denied both things when questioned by U.S. officials. "Lying to federal agentsparticularly in a t errorism probe — is a crime that has the potential to influence an investigation or even jeopardize national security," U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said.

China eases birth limit; boon to couples BEI JING (AP) — China's decision to abolish its one-child policy is a boon to couplesand to sellersofgoodsfrom formula to diapers to toys. And it might help defuse economic stresses caused by an aging population. The impact of the surprise change announced Thursday is expected to be gradual. But with incomes rising in the world's most populous country, even a small uptick in births could translate into higher demand from Chinese that could ripple around the world. The decision to let all married couples have two children, ending a policy that limited many urban families to one, coincides with official efforts to encourage economic growth based on consumer spending. Wei Guang, the father of an 8-yearold son, said he and his wife already were considering whether to have a second child, even though the cost was daunting. Wei said food, clothes, nannies, after-school lessons and other expenses can cost 100,000 yuan ($16,000) a year.

"We know the cost will be substantial," said Wei, 51, who works in media and whose wife is in her 30s. "But we can manage."

The latest change "is significant and likely a response to the pressures that have been building," said Eghbal. No one anticipates any immediate

Citigroup researchers said they expect a5 percent to 10 percent rise in Chinese births.

hospital had been damaged by attacks. It says it shares the hospital's GPS coordinates regularly with the Saudiled coalition targeting the rebels,and its roof was clearly identified with its logo.

Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, operates in eight Yemeni governorates, while many foreign aid groups and even U.N. personnel have been evacuated. The attack came weeks after U. S . gun s h ips bombed an MSF hospital in Afghanistan, killing 30. In Yemen, a Saudi-led, U.S.-backed coalition has been launching airstrikes against the rebels,also known as Houthis, and their allies. Saada, the Houthis stronghold, has faced a particularly intense bombardment. After initial confusion, Saudi authorities denied their forces hit the hospital. MSF dismissed that claim Thursday. "This is a n a l arming sign for the Yemeni people and for those trying to assist them. How are we to draw lessons from what happened when all we face are denials?" MSF said in a statement.

The collection has taken years to build, cost thousands, and comes &om as far away as Hawaii, Dollarhide said. In past two weeks she spent $500 on webbing alone. "Everyone will tell you I'm crazy and obsessed, butIloveit,"she said. "I think I got started on this Halloween thing because of my father — all the kids were afraid to come to my house."

Thursday, a man was shot by one of three intruders to his property near Angels Camp just before sunrise. He was wounded, but the injury was not life-threatening, according to the SherifFs Ofllce. A press releasesaid the property was used for growing marijuana. On Oct. 20, at what the SherifFs Office labeled a fairly large marijuana gardenon Rail Road Flat Road, three intruders were shot and killed. Jeremiah Barrett, 30, of Jackson, was charged with murder. Tomaszewski said the murders were horrifying. "I am deeply, deeply disappointed," Tomaszewski said. "People are always going to get in car crashes, they' re always going to shoot each other, then there's this level of things that ar e u l timately, completely avoidable." Ultimately, though, such incidents are generally uncommon. But when it comes down to it, they can be the resultof a desperate situation and lack of support, he said. 'Those boys could have been illegal growers. They could've been just bad actors, they could've been bad people," Tomaszewski said. "Or they could have been good men who had everything, all their money into that grow and it was the only thing that was going to support their families. They were terrified of losing it and made a bad decision." Although shootings may be rare,

can choose to tax it, can choose to

limit the plant numbers or have rules about how big the parcel size can be, whatever you want." With the legislation and the regulations, something that Tomaszewski said is a step in the right direction, comes securities that may not have been available in the past. But the benefits will not come until growers registerwith local authori-

ties as well as with the state and obtain a license. "Once you' re in that system, you have full access to allofthe protections that anyone has," Tomaszewski said. "There's all of a sudden going to be insurance companies, no question as to whether or not to call the sheriff and there will be all types of security services and consulting services and lawyers bringing it up." Once the ordinances are put into place, each grower will have about two years to grow under the current coll ective model before being required to operate under the new standards. "Two years from now, they' re going to put their foot down saying, 'no more collective growing, you have to use the state model,' " Tomaszewski said. "But from now until then, we' re just basically waiting for them to start issuing state licenses. As soon as they start issuing licenses, people will start signing up."

Veterans plan a Sept. 11 memorial in Tuolumne By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

A proposed pavilion outside of Tuolumne Veterans Memorial Hall would honor the thousands of Americans who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, as well as military veterans who served during the ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The monument would be installed on the northwest lawn in front of the hall at 18375 Fir Ave., Tuolumne. Local veterans behind the project are scheduled to present the idea to the Tuolumne County Historic Preservation Review Commission at a meeting Monday. "It's something that's long overdue in this county," said Frank Smart, a Columbia resident and Vietnam veteran. Smart spearheaded the effort with Iraq veteran Aaron Rasmussen, commander of the Keith Dale Wan Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4748 in Tuolumne.

nalizing the designs. As envisioned, a brick walkway would lead to an open pavilion that could also host community events, weddings and concerts. Each side of the walkway wouldhonor Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, while the inside of the pavilion would feature information about the Sept. 11 attacks. uWe feel like this will enhance that piece ofproperty," Smart said. "It would also bring people to downtown Tuolumne as a venue for community events."

The project is expected to cost at least $30,000 and take up to two yearstocomplete, Smart said. Commemorative bricks would be sold to fund the project, along with possible grants and donations &om individualand corporate sponsors. Smart said he's also had discussions with the local arts community about potentially doing a competition to select the final design. "A majority of the funding will

in Tuolumne County, as well as led efforts to establish memorials at the county library and VA Clinic on Mono Way in Sonora. Selling commemorativebricks helped raise $40,000 for the latter memorial. "I thought it would be a good idea to start working on it with him," Rasmussen said. "One of the key things is educating the public about our history." Though the project is still in the early planning stages, Rasmussen hopes to have the pavilion completed by the16th anniversary ofSept.11in 2017. The Historic Preservation Review Commission meets at 4 p.m. Monday to look at the project. Rasmussen and Smart also hope to get the blessing of the county Veterans Committee on Wednesday, before taking the proposal to theBoard ofSupervisors.

expectedto see their mo nthly premiums fordoctors'visits and outpatientservices rise by at least $54 in 2016. The remainderare protected by a "hold harmless" provision preventing Part B premiums &om rising more than their Social Security paychecks. Here's the problem: By law, Social Security beneficiaries whose Medicare premium is automaticall y deducted from their Social Security benefits are held harmless from Medicare premium increases if there is no COLA, which occurred this year. While this greatlyassists the 70 percent of Medicare beneficiaries who are protected in this way from a reduction in their monthly Social Security benefit, it results in a disproportionate in-

As expected, President Obama vetoedthe 2015 ¹ tional Defense Authorization Act on Thursday because it kept sequestrationin place and blocked his ability to close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The $611.9 billion defense bill contained a number of VFWsupported provisions ranging &om an enhanced military retirement system and the repealofthe 1percentcost-ofliving adjustment penalty on new retirees, as well as keeping the Guantanamo facility open, which is supported by VFW National Resolution. The bill also contained provisions that the VFW opposed, such as the gradual reduction of military housing allowances. Ending sequestration is the VFW's top legislative goal, as it directly impacts military readiness and could affect all discretionary-funded programs that are provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies with veterans-oriented programs, such as Labor. Congress has the authority to override the veto should there be a two-thirds majority vote. The House is expected to vote on it Nov. 5. Stay tuned to the Action Corps Weekly for updates on this important bill.

W aterfowl hunters h a d a pretty good opening day last Saturday in the Balance of State zone despitethe drought. Where there was water, there were ducks in most public shooting areas and private clubs in the Merced County Grasslands. At the Santa Cruz Club, south of Los Banos, limits were the rule and my son, Bill, of Aptos, was back Sunday, finding it slower but managed a limit by 10 a.m., mostly green-wing teal. At the Santa Fe Club, near Gustine, hunters in blinds that had water bagged limits and those on the outer fringes got a few. They have received only 50-percent of their water allotment.

Most private clubs in the Grasslands did well Saturday, but found it slow on Sunday as the birds moved intothe closed zones. The Public Wildlife Areas See OUTDOORS / Page C3

Rousey, coach don' t answer champ's mother's crilticism GLENDALE (AP) — UFC champion Ronda Rousey isn't sharing her opinion of her mother's sharp criticism of her coach,

Edmond Tarverdyan. Tarverdyanalsodeclined to tradeverbal shots with AnnMaria De Mars on Tuesday during a promotional appearance for Rousey'snext title defense. De Mars called Tarverdyan "a terrible coach" and "a bad person" in a video interview with LatiNation earlier this month. De Mars claims Tarverdyan "hit the lottery" when Rousey decided to study mixed martial arts with him. "Any reaction or response I have to my

mother, she's going to hear it from me, and not a media outlet," Rousey said, declining to indicate whether she had confronted her mother about it. Rousey's mother is a former judo world champion who introduced her daughter to the sport and raised her to be an Olympic medalist. Rousey took up MMA after the Beijing Olympics and swiftly became the UFC's first women's bantamweight champion in late 2012. Rousey and Tarverdyan have been working together for five years. Tarverdyan, a veteran combat sportstrainer who also has worked with boxer Vic Darchinyan and other UFC fighters, declined to say much about De Mars' opinions. "It's her mom at the end of the day, and that's it," Tarverdyan said. 'Tm a person that's never spoken negatively about anybody's mom. I' ve always said a mom is a mom. That's all I have to say." Rousey (12-0) will attempt her seventh title defense when she faces Holly Holm at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia, on Nov. 15. She has won her previous three fights in 64 combined seconds, establishing herself as the UFC's most dominant champion and the world's most famous MMA fighter. Tarverdyan initially wasn't interested in training Rousey when she went to work at his Glendale Fighting Club, claiming he was too busy with boxers and other fighters. He changed his mind when he saw how Rousey's judo skills would translate to MMA, particularly her formidable armbar skills. Rousey and Tarverdyan have formed a tight bond, and De Mars' comments seem unlikely to break it. Tarverdyan and De Mars are both at cageside when Rousey fights, and both are expected to be in Australia next month.

BIUEFS Pontiac Silverdomewill come down in20i6 PONTIAC, Mich. (AP)The Pontiac Silverdome, a suburban Detroit stadium with an inflatable roof that was the home of the NFL's Detroit Lions for more than 25 years, will be demolished. The roof is long gone, and the interior of the Silverdome hasdeteriorated due to weather. Owners believe demolition will make the 127-acresite more attrac-

tiveforredevelopment. Triple Investment Group of Toronto bought the Silverdome in 2009 fmm the city of Pontiac for $583,000. The property could become a mix of housing, retail and light industrial.

USC proposes$270M upgrade homefield LOS ANGELES (AP)The University of Southern California has plans for a $270 million upgrade for the home field of the Tmjans — the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum — that could become astage forthe 2024 Olympic Games and a temporary site for an NFL team. The renovations would include the construction of premium suites, more aisles and new seating. The plans outlined Thursday are preliminary. And a question mark is money. USC needs to raise it thmugh gifts, sponsorships and donor naming rights. Construction is not ex-

pected to begin until after the 2017 USC football season.

USC executive 1bdd Dickey says the NFL has "stmngly indicated" the league would like a team to play there in 2016.

Clippers GAustin Rivers fined by NBA NEW YORK (AP) — Los Angeles Clippers guard Austin Rivers has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for throwing a seat cushion into the stands, it was announced Thursday. Rivers threw the cush-

ion in the fourth quarter of the Clippers' 111-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. 28 at Sleep Train Arena.

Brady, Patriots rout Dolphins; move to 7-0 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Even when they look sluggish, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots still dominate. Brady threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns — two to Julian Edelman — and the Patriots beat the Miami Dolphins 36-7 on Thursday night to become the first of the NFL's five

unbeaten teams to reach seven wins.

Stephen G o stkowski broke Adam Vinatieri's franchise record for consecutive field goals by connecting fmm 52 and 36 yards to make it 26 in a row. Rob Gmnkowski had 113 yards rex:eiving and a touchdown, and Dion Lewis had 93 yards receiving and one score. The loss was the first for Miami (3-4) under interim coach Dan Campbell. The Dolphins scored 82 points in wins over the lowly Titans and Texans in Campbell's first two games after replacing Joe Philbin. But they were completely overmatched against the defendingSuper Bowl champions. It could be an even bigger loss for the Dolphins because four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Wake was carted off the field with an Achilles tendon injury. The Patriot s are 7-0 for the second time in franchise history and first time since going 16-0 in 2007. They' ve scoredatleast 28 pointsin every game and 30 or more in six straight. A week after setting an NFL record with 25 straight completions, Ryan Tannehill had a r o ugh night against New England. He threw two interceptions and no TDs.

THE UN' DEMO CRAT

Raiders' Woodson receives another honor ALAMEDA (AP) — Oakland Raiders safety Charles Woodson could easily fill a wine cellar with all the awards he's won since he first started playing football nearly 30 years ago. The Heisman Trophy he capturedin 1997 as a two-way star at Michigan sits in his mother' s house, a gift to the woman who raised him and helped mold his love for the sport. Woodson has kept numerous other plaques and trophies for himself, including the national championship ring he won with the Wolverines in '97, along with the more coveted Super Bowl ring he won in 2010 with Green Bay. "I' ve gotten a lot of them but those are the ones that stick out," Woodson said. "Mom's got the Heisman. I' ve got the rings." Woodson added to his collection Thursday when he was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Month for October. It's the fifth time in his remarkable

18-year career that Woodson has been named defensive player of the month, tying him for second-most in NFL history behind six-time winner and Hall of Fame defensive end Bruce Smith. Not too bad for a player who celebrated his 39th birthday earlier this month. "Itmakes itspecialbecause .statements are made that 'he's the oldest to dothis'or'only two orthreeguys to have done things, Woodson said. 'To have that type of longevity and to be playing and the level that I'm playing with in the NFL is awesome. "It just says that there's a reason why I'm still here. I'm able to go out there and do my job and do it well." Woodson is tied for the NFL lead with four interceptions. He made three of them in October, including two off Denver quarterback Peyton Manning. In doing so, Woodson became the oldest player in league history to make two interceptions in one game. "I wasn't with him when he first

started but he can't be more serious than he is now," Raiders defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. said. "He' s an example to all the young players who have a lot less wrong with them, who don't play as hard, who don't get as much done. He's a type of guy that gives everythmg that he has. "No question he's going down in history as one of the best. He is absolutely amazing." The Raiders might be completely lostin the secondary ifit wasn't for Woodson. Oakland owns the NFL's worstranked pass defense and has been without starting safety Nate Allen since Week 1. One of the starting cornerbacks, David Amerson, was cut by the Washington Redskins earlier this season. Woodson himself has been playing with a shoulder he dislocated late in the fourth quarter of the Raiders' season-opening loss to Cincinnati. "I'm a little sore," Woodson said. "I feel like, just get me to Sunday. If you get me to Sunday I' ll be all right."

Woodson's health will be a determining factor in whether he decides to come backfora 19th season in 2016or if he retires There are arguments to be made for both — Woodson clearly still has the ability to make plays in the NFL but he also has two young children and a winery he'd like to become more active with. For his part, Woodson said he hasn' t given much thought to 2016. His current concern is trying to help the im-

proving Raiders end their 12-year playoff drought. That and possibly getting onto the field with the Raiders offense, something he's done sporadically throughout his career. "Just you wait," Woodson said with a big smile. "May have a surprise for you." Notes: DE Denico Autry made it througha second straight day ofpractice without setback. Autry has been bothered by concussion symptoms for the past three weeks.. LB Neiron Ball (knee) did not practice.

Week 3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. After struggling since early last season, he led San Francisco in receiving in the Oct. 22 loss to the Seahawks by making four catches for 61 yards. For the season, Davishas 12 receptions for 170 yards in five games. He hasn' t scored a touchdown since the 2014 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, when he had two. "I have a great relationship with Vernon," quarterback Colin Kaepernick said. "We' ve

constantly had talks since I started playing. It's something that we both want to do what's best for this team and we' re both trying to win. That' s wheresome ofthefrustrations come from. We' re trying to fix

the losing streak that we have been on."

H eading into S unday's

game in St. Louis, San Franciscohas the league's lowestrated offense in both scoring and yardage, fueling speculation about major changes coming next season. Davis is in the

final year of his contract. Head coach Jim Tomsula this week confirmed the meeting following the loss to Green Bay that put the 49ers at 1-3. He said the emphasis was on improving communication. Davis said: "It was very beneficial. Because you get a chance to get anything off you chest.... I thought it was done the right way. I think everyone didagoodjob asfarascontrolling their emotions and doing things the way it's supposed to be done."

CLASH Continued from PageC1 be watching, so it's pretty awesome." There's been a little bit of banter between Page and some of his old teammates fmm his youth football days for the Jr. Frogs. Page lived in Angels Camp through eighthgrade before moving to Sonora his freshman year. ''We' ve been getting on each other a little bit," Page said. "But we' re both respect each other's programs, so we'rejust hoping for the best game possible Friday night." Bret Harte is not the same team of the past few years. The Bullfmgs are not just playing out the string, they' re fighting fora playoffberth and playing in their most meaningful game in the last week of October since 2011. 'The boys are playing hard and playing very well," said Bret Harte head coach Casey Kester. "Losing the Amador game was a big, big hit for us. We thought we could play a lot better there. But, to play (a meaningful game) in late October, that's new for the program.

That's part of the deal that I'm trying to get the players to understand that we' ve gotta learn how to compete first. And that's what we' re doing this year." At 4-4, the Bullfmgs need two wins to get in, but they can't think about beating Argonaut next week until they beat the defending MLL champs and Sacdoaquin Section runner-up. Ke ster acknowledges it would be unlikely for a 5-5 Bret Harte squad to make the playoffs. "It's going to be very difllcult to do that. Sonora is a very good team. We' re not to that level yet," Kester said. "Can we win? Yes. But it's going to be a very tough game, they' re very physical." 'They' re playing a lot better football," said Wildcat head

The Bret Harte scout team offense(above) attempts to give the Bullfrogs defense a good look at the way Sonora runs the ballThursday in Angels Camp. Wildcat receiver lan Cicero (nght, at left) makes a reception Tuesday during practice at Dunlavy Field.

Wildcats rolling on offense Sonora (8-1, 5-0 MLL) has been rolling in its last three games. The Wildcats have averaged over 53 points per game and over 500 yards per game, including almost 1,300 total yards rushing. "Our line is coming together,

"They' re quarterback is very athletic, they' ve got a good stout running back (Anthony Howard). We' ll have our hands full with that option." "Guys want to win," Kester said. "They' re not just talking it. They' re walking it. We' ve had some really good tussles out here. Scout offense and scout defense was violent on both sides. It was tremendous. I think the guys are going in prepared."

David vs. Goliath? Though historic trends suggest that Bret Harte will be going into the game tonight vs. Sonora as big underdogs, Kester says they have not adopted a David vs. Goliath mentality. ''We didn't take it like that. We just approached it and said, 'Sonora is a very wellcoached team, and a very good program," Kester said. "It isn't a David vs. Goliath, it's just a challenge. It's a real hard game for these guys. It' s an opportunity to prove how much they' ve improved and where they' re going to be going." ''We' ve watched a lot of film on them and they are a lot better than last year," Page said. "They' re are all working hard and I know a lot of those guys put in a lot of work over the offseason. So I'm expecting a really good game We' re not taking anything for granted."

the Warriors until Kerr is healthy enough to return. The second-year coach said Tuesday night he hopes that is soon. While Draymond Green thought the preseason became "boring," Walton needed every one of those seven games. "I think preseason meant a lot more to me than it did the players," Walton said. "It was a great learning experience and practice." Starting ofF the title defense with a nice win sure helped matters. Walton talked to his team about managing all the emotions, from the fanfareof raising the banner and

I'm sure we' re not going to have like a 10-point lead the whole game, that kind of deal, we' re going to have to have some grind-it-out games." From his playing days, Walton knows what it's like being the defending champions — and the daunting task to do it again. "We' re the champs, and our guys deserve that, to have an ego," he the ring ceremony to the outspoken said.

Nothing's going to come easy "He didn't show it," Curry said. for us."

The players still take part in rallies and school-wide events. But with so much riding on tonight's game, the team has been able to deflect outside distractions — for the most part. "There have been a few distractions with the different dress up days, but when it comes to practice everyone knows that we need to come here to get work done," Ramirez said. "Homecoming is always the most fun game of the year by far. It's a whole different mindset. The intensity is so much higher during the homecoming game, no mat-

ter who we play." Friendly competition Byrd is not a running quarterback. At 6'4, 200-pounds, he best resembles a stork, rather than a roadrunner. He has six rushing yards on the season, and is averaging .75 yards per game. The one thing he had for the first eight games of the season that teammate Caleb Hodgson did not, was a rushing touchdown. Last week, in the 'Skins 55-20 win over Summerville, Hodgson tied Byrd when he scored from 2 yards out. The

two now have one score apiece. But in

the eyes of Byrd, he has something that Hodgson has yet to achieve. Guy Dossi/Union Democrat "He's never thrown for a touchdown, Calaveras receiver Trevor Ramirez makes a catch so I' ve got him there," laughed Byrd. Wednesday during practice at Frank Meyer Field.

301 Employment

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 call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@unlondemocrat.corn

Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwide ostin .corn for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.¹ 9448-9182. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

DEAR DR ROACH: I'm a 76-yearold male with a heart condition. I had a double bypass 11 years ago and a stent put in two years ago. Apparently, I'm allergic to statins. My side e6'ects have included muscle pain, memory glitches, fuzzy thinking, severe joint pain, fatigue, etc. The last statin I took (Crestor) was the worst, with muscle aches and fati gue persisting even after quitting it three months ago. My doctor wants me to get back on a statin, but I question the wisdom of this recommendation, in light of my past history. Also, at my age, medication side effects seem tobe magnifi ed. Any recommendations you may have would be appreciated. For your infor-

Today in history Today is Friday, Oct. 30, the 303rd day of 2015. There are 62 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Oct. 30, 1965, the miniskirt had its "coming out," of sorts. British model Jean Shrimpton scandalized onlookers by showing up for Victoria Derby Day at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia, in a white, sleeveless shift dress that had a hem four inches above her knees. (Shrimpton was also criticized for not wearing a hat, gloves or stockings to such a formal occasion.) On this date: In 1864, Helena, Montana, was founded. In 1945, the U.S. government announced the end of shoe rationing, effective at midnight. In 1961, the Soviet Union tested a hydrogen bomb, the "Tsar Bomba," with a force estimated at about 50 megatons. The Soviet Party Congress unanimously approved a resolution ordering the removal of Josef

Stalin'sbody from Lenin's tomb. In 1974, Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in the eighth round of a 15-round bout in Kinshasa, Zaire (zah-EER'), known as the"Rumble in the Jungle," to regain his world heavyweight title. In 1975, the New York Daily News ran the headline "Ford to City: Drop Dead" a day after President Gerald R. Ford said he would veto any proposed federal bailout of New York City. In 1985, schoolteacherastronaut Christa McAuliffe witnessed the launch of the space shuttle Challenger, the same craft that carried her and six other crew members to their deaths in January 1986.

With their likes and followers growing faster than speeding bullets, their fans want new photos all the time. Two years ago, Wally le the simple banana costume behind when he underwent a lifestyle and wardrobe makeover. Now he dresses like Elvis Presley (" King Corgi" ) and Michael Jackson ('Thriller Corgi" ) and has become a rising star on Instagram, with 63,000 followers, and Facebook, with 12,000 likes. Wally's transformation coincides with the petcostume industry'scoming ofage. The National Retail Federation estimates that 20 million pet owners will dress their pets this Halloween, spending $350 million on the costumes. The online marketplace eBay had 1.5 millionpetcostumes forsale on Oct.21 outof800 million items listed for sale, with 159 million active customers in 200 countries, said Zoher Karu, vice president of global optimization and data for eBay. Pet costumes represent 2 percent of Costume SuperCenter's sales. The company sells nothing but costumes and accessories on eBay and other sites. "There does not seem to be a ceiling on what people are willing to spend on their pets," said Michael Esposito, the company's marketing director. The majorit y oftheir pet costumes sell for $14.99 to $24.99. The top five best-selling costumes on eBay for pets are Superman, lion, panda, Batman and necktie.

But Wally, owned by Mare and Cynthia Dalangin of Wharton, New Jersey, doesn't go trick-or-treating anymore. Like a lot of busy dogs, he has too many other engagements. And as a budding Instagram celebrity, he needs a wardrobe full of costumes to choose from. As dogs have filled their social calendars, they' ve had to fill their closets too. They' re not just dressing up once a year on Halloween. These days, dogs and their owners are getting invited to parties, parades, meet-ups, pumpkin patches, picnics, Christmas tree farms and many other themed outings.
