The quiet main drag through downtown Twain Harte was empty Friday morning, but as noon approached, sidewalks filled with eager residents set ting up tripods and readying cameras. Paula Graham, affectionately known by her grandchildren as Majhi, was on Joaquin Gulley R oad Friday clad in a shimmering gold supergrandma suit. The former Twain Harte resident flew in from Minnesota to spend her first Halloween with her grandchildren. The trip would be incomplete without watching them march through the center of town in the annual Twain Harte School Halloween Parade, a tradition Graham's own children once partook in. "It's safe to say this has been going on well over 40 years," said Principal Dan Mayer s. At noon on the dot, the Twain Harte Fire Department and Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office closed

However, Deputy County Administrator Tracie Riggs said it will likely take some time to coordinate and mobilize the additional resources that will assist in removing the dead and dying trees. "We' ve asked the governor forfunding,and he'sprovided that, but we' re waiting for them to provide the details on how that will roll out," she said. "It could take a couple of weeks." The estimated number of dead treesacross the state has grown to 22 million, the Governor'sOffice stated in a

press release Friday. Brown called it the "worst epidemic of tree mortality in modern history" in a letter to United States Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "A crisis of this magnitude n

The Union Democrat

The Forest Service is seeking public comment &om now until Nov. 27 on aplan to rebuild and expand BerkeleyTuolumne Camp, which operated on land leased from the Stanislaus National Forest &om 1922 until most ofit was destroyed by the devastating Rim Fire in August 2013. The camp sits on 14.5 acres next to the South Fork Tuolumne River near Highway 120 and the northwest entrance to Yosemite National Park. The plan calls for allowing the camp toexpand to 45 acres,in part to relocate overnight facilities out of the 100-year floodplain of the South Fork Tuolumne. Before the Rim Fire, the camp property was leased by the City of Berkeley. City officials estimate more than 4,000 peopleused to take part in activities and traditions at the camp each year, before the fireburned more than 400 square miles of mountain watersheds in Tuolumne and Mariposa counties.

According to the City of Berkeley and the Forest Service, Berkeley Tuolumne Camp was founded in 1922 and it was a family-oriented institution since its inception. "Though not the first public municipal camp established on the Stanislaus National Forest, it is the only camp dating to the 1920s that remained in continuous use by a single municipality until the Rim Fire," cityand forestoffi cialssaid.

New estimates say nearly half of people in the Americas have Herpes simplex virus. Some 140 million people from ages 15to 49 are infected with Herpes simplex virus type 1, primarily in the Americas, Europe and Western Pacific, said a study by the World Health Organization released this week. Tuolumne County Public Health Officer Dr. Liza Ortiz said it used to be that genital herpes was mostly caused by Herpes simplex virus type 2, but now doctors see herpes simplex virus type 1 in genitalherpes cases frequently. Herpes simplex virus is classified as a sexually transmitted virus that c auses sores around the mouth or genitals. Herpes simplex virus is categorizedintotypes— type 1 and type 2. Both are highly infectious and incurable. It is estimated that as many as 80 percent of American adults have herpes antibodies, Ortiz said. Herpes data isn't kept by local or state public health departments,so it's hard to say how many people have it in Tuolumne and Calaveras counties. "Oral to oral, oral to skin,

tures of your boy/girl overseas. And I thought of the other memorials whose fundraising efforts or dedications I' ve written aboutin thelastcouple ofyears. As a reporter, I've noticed that the worse things get in this country, the more memorials we dedicate, the more droolingly efFusive we are in our thanks to the veterans, the more "If You Can Read This in English, Thank a Soldier" bumper stickers Isee.Thelastbridge built in my town is called 'Veterans Memorial Bridge." There's no work and a lot of what work there

is pays money that wouldn't support a duck, but we can always pour concrete for another memorial. If you see a vet, shake his hand. Just don't ask him where he's working. If your waitress tells you she just got out of the Navy, give her a bigger tip but don't ask her how many hours a week she's getting. Is this the two last things we can do as a nation; send you overseas to kill people and shake your hand when you get home? Can we only do that and do we stop there? Do we stop short of good, union jobs with pensions for our vets, full time jobs a man or woman can count on? A little house? A weekly paycheck? Freedom, as we endlessly yap, isn't free, but neither is food or clothes or medicine for the baby. But hey, the people who start the wars are working steady. The senators get their pensions. The CEO gets his heath care. You get a quick trip through some dirty little Third World war and then youcome home to a handshake and a part-time, $9 an hour job. One of the most beautiful things about my country, about America, is the men and women soldiers, most often working or lower middle class or poor who have, for more than a decade, joined and kept joining and left little pieces of themselves in Iraq and Afghanistan, in purposeless fights that never end. All we have asked, they have done, deploying two, three or four times. Their actions are a sad poem of honor and determination and a lesson in how service to

the nation, laughed at by the rich and sold by the elected, still keeps true those who have the least to gain in the fight. We at home build the America in which our soldiers will live. A nation full of memorials is a cemetery. A nation of jobs and security and pensions is a place not just to fight for, but also a place to live when you come home. Mare Dion isveteran reporter and

GUEST COLUMN

Free stuff can turn out to be a bad buy Free collegel That's what the Democratic candidates were offering in their presidential debate. And it's likely that, if the subject had come up, they would have ofFered something like free home mortgages as well, to judge from Hillary Clinton's statement

that she had urged Wall Street to stop mortgage forecl osures. Sounds a lot like free houses! Free stuff sounds good to many people, and it's not just Democrats who promise it. Republican candidates have been talking about reducing college costs, too, and George W. Bush was as passionate a supporter as Bill Clinton of encouraging home ownership for blacks and Hiapanic. Such policies are not necessarily examples of political demagoguery, though some are. They are based on observations of undisputed facts. College graduates over the years tend to make more moneythan non-graduates. Homeowners over the years tend to accumulate wealth and to build communities more than

Michael Barone This argument has special appealtothose oldsters born in the 1940s — Bernie Sanders, Bill and Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, Donald Trump. Back then most Americans did not own homes, and only a small minority graduatedfrom college. These politicians saw how public policies such as the FHA and VA home loans and the GI Bill of Rights, together with unexpected postwar prosperity, changed that. By 1960more than 60 percent of Americans were homeowners. By the 1970s most high school graduates were going on to some form of higher education. If old public policies could increase college attendance and homeownership, shouldn't new public policies be able to increase them still more? Over the last quarter-century we have had such policies, with some unhappy results. By 2007,

cymakers have drawn the following conclusion. If we just get more people — especially minorities — into college, they will make more money. If we just get more people — especially minoritiesto become homebuyers, they will accumulate more wealth. And what easier way to do that than to make these things free, or close to that?

torily remunerative work. The availability of government subsidy has prompted colleges and universities to raise tuitions far more rapidly than infiation, with much of the proceeds going into administrative bloat. That has left many borrowers with enormous debts that they cannot shed in bankruptcy. Government policies, aided and abettedby Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, promoted low- or no-down-payment mortgagesfor buyers, especially Hispanics and blacks, previously considered not credit-worthy. Policymakers, lenders and buyers all assumed that housing prices would always rise so that homeowners could al-

ways refinance any money problems away. Oops. Housing prices fell sharply starting in 2006, and financial firms ended up with mortgage-backed securities that regulators classified as safe but for which they suddenly could find no buyers — and the economy crashed.Mortgage foreclosures soared, and by my estimate about one-third of t hose

And the Obam a administration is seeking to reinstate Clinton and Bush administration policies providing low- and no-down-payment mortgages to blacks and Hispanics who do not meettraditional credit standards. What could go wrong? Recent experience should tell us that college and homeownership are not for everyone. Many people lack the cognitive skills for higher education but have other abilities that can make them productive and successful adults. Many people, like those who move frequently, are better ofFrenting than paying the transaction costs of buying a home. Maybe policymakers got causation backwards. Increased college and homeownership, they thought,would upgrade people, and for a long while it did. But we seem to have reached the point of diminishing returns, when making things free will hurt the intended beneficiaries more than help. Michael Barone is a syndicated columnist and a

"There's no denying the serious risk they will be facing," Earnest said, but "they are not in a combat mission." Officials said the U.S. troops would go into Syria over the next few weeks and likely spend less than two months there at a time. A senior defense official did not rule out adjusting or expanding the U.S. effort as conditions in Syria change. U.S. troops have been on the ground in Syria before, Earnest said, noting a rescue mission more than a year ago and a more recent raid. Officials said those types of unilateral raids could still happen. Although thenumber of troops is small, it marks an escalation of U.S. involvement in the fight against the Islamic State, which controls a large part of northern Syria and has its self-proclaimed capital in the Syrian city of Raqqa.

not to miss. "It's one of the really nice things about a small school in a small community," said John Leamy, 68, of Twain Harte, there to watch his two grandchildren. Parent Justin West, 34, of Twain Harte, filmed the parade with his wife, Summer. "The fact people are coming out to look at (the students). That makes them feel important," West said.

Brother and sister Casey (above, at left) and Jacee Vallelunga hold hands as they walk Friday in the Twain Harte School Halloween parade. Twain Halte School students, staff and parents participate in the parade (below).

For most, the parade has gone on lon-

ger than anyone can remember. No one at the school remembers exactly when the tradition began, including long-time employee Kathleen Cross, whose children, now in their 30s, marched in costume in the early 1980s, Mayers said. And recordsof street closures with the Tuolumne County Community Resources Agency to close the Joaquin GullyRoad each year only go back as far as2002, said Desiree Crain,department support technician. The Union Democrat's call to the Tuolumne County Historical Society yielded no further information other than a suggestion to call the Twain Harte Chamber of Commerce. The chamber, too, had no record of the first parade. The earliest memory came &om Jane Niemann, a professional cleaner often at work in the Twain Harte Post Office. In 1975, Niemann first watched what would be two generations of her family make the march. "They'd been going a good while before we got here, I mean way before 1974," Niemann said. "But you know what, it's basically the same," she said. "You better be there right on time or you miss it.

community support to honor him has been nonstop since the news of his death. 'There has been an amazing outpouring of love and support that I can't even begin to describe to you," Vermeltfoort said. "My house has been full all day. My text messages have been nonstop. If you look on Facebook, the outpouring of love and support for him has been amazing." Kuntz was a man who was dedicated to the underdog in the community, Vermeltfoort said.If someone had experienced issues in the past, Kuntz would work to help the person go forward. "If somebody had drug issues, he would do all he could to try and turn his life around," Vermeltfoort said. "If there was somebody doing traffic violations on the road, he would pull them over and then often give them an option if they would prefer to get alecture about their bad decisions before he would issue a legal citation." Kuntz joined the Calaveras County SherifFs Office in 1985 and reached the rank of lieutenant before being laidoffdue to budget cuts in 2009. Hewas elected sheriff of Calaveras County in 2010 and was reelected again in 2014. I n 2 014, K u ntz, w h o worked as a cement mason for 16years prior to joining the force, said the average response time for all calls had dropped 11 percent, and emergency response times had decreased by 8 percent. Calaveras County Coroner Kevin Raggio, who said he worked with Kuntz on various cases throughout the past 30 years, said the sheriffwas always fair and never w ent out togetpeople. "He was a great guy. I'm going to miss him," Raggio said. "He was a straightforward guy. He said what was on his mind, and I'm going to miss him. He was a great friend." The loss was felt outside of Calaveras County as well. Tuolumne County SherifF Jim Mele, who had known K untz for more than 20 years, said the impact of the loss will also extend throughout the state. "Being a sheriff t here' s only 58 of us in the state of California. And so it's a very tight &aternity and organization," Mele said. 'When we lose one when they' re sitting in office or we lose one that has retired, it hits us all, because you begin to think how life is so precious."

TREES

Professionally, Mele said Kuntz was proud to be the sherifF in Calaveras County. His passion and commitment

to the community and to the office made him a good sheriff Mele said "He ran on the basis that 'I want to make this organization better.'And I do believe if you talk to people they would concur that, under his leadership, they' ve grown and they' re a better agency and that the community and the sherifFsoffice have a better

relationship," Mele said. "I think that's what he wanted, and hellbe sorely missed." Mele believes that Kuntz was most proud of opening the new jail and the Emergency Operations Center. Kuntz came i n m i d way through the process after Sheriff Dennis Downum retired. "It would be very difficult to come in, midstream, and do a large project like that," Mele said. "In our line of work, a sheriff will be very fortunate to build a jail while they' re sitting in office. And so that's a very, very big deal." For the time being, the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office, which does not have an under sheriff will operate as a unified command staff

of lieutenants and captains. Sgt. Anthony Eberhardt says the quality of service will not diminish, and Mele echoed the sentiment. "The men and women of the office will miss him, but it's a strong organization. They will rise and will carry on the great tradition that Calaveras County has," Mele said. "They' ve had great sheriffs for many, many years. They' ve had great leadership in t hat organization, and they will continue to do a great job for the citizens of Calaveras."

Riggs, District 1 Supervisor Sherri Brennan, District 2 Supervisor Randy Hanvelt and area logger Mike Albrecht met with some of Brown's top advisors in Sacramento on Monday to discuss the issue. Mariposa, Madera, Inyo and Nevada counties were represented at the meeting as well, Riggs said. Hanvelt believes the response from Brown is a result of the pressure applied by the board, as well as those in other rural counties.

David Shimer, of Columbia, created a mining ore cart out of reclaimed particle board and foam.

Artist uses recycled materials to express himself By TORI THOMAS The Union Democrat

In centuries past, superstitions grew up around these creatures and, on Halloween, the veil between the living and the dead was thought to be at its weakest. Souls of the dead could walk the earth on this night and bedevil the living. Some plants, like fennel and St. John's wort (when tied with a black ribbon), were specifically used to ward off evil. Yew trees were traditionally planted in graveyards because it was thought that the roots would grow down into the mouths of the dead to keep them from talking. The mountain ash, or rowan tree, was planted to

Every day, David H. Shimer Jr. wakes up at 4:30 a.m. and creates artpieces allday and into the night, only taking breaks to eat. Shimer, 40, a self-taught Columbia artist, uses recycled materials and experimental techniques to express himself. "I don't like waste. It drives me nuts," he said. Shimer has made art his whole life, but started working exclusively with recycled materials about two years ago. From costumes and props to sculptures and dioramas, Shimer

world when he was just 2 years old. "He could take apart and put back together anything," she said. "He would take a screwdriver and take themetal parts ofthe door off look at it, and put it back on." David Shimer, who has social anxiety, said creating art helps him escape from it. "It's my way of communicating," he said. Custom art pieces can be seen in front of his Columbia home, near the Presbyterian Church of the 49ers, including a mining cart that features a dynamite plunger, and pick and shovel made out of scrap wood and packaging foam. For every holiday, Shimer sets up his custom decorations, but the rest of the year he maintains a gold mine theme. What others may not find useful, such as foam and plastic, Shimer considers material. "Normal people would be like, 'Oh that's garbage,' and that' s exactly the piece I need," he said. Shimer said his friends and family give him most of his materials, which he keeps in a 5-by-8foot garden shed that is packed to the brim. "If I'm out and about and I see something, I' ll definitely grab it," he said, adding that he recently found apiece ofabandoned aluminum in a parking lot. Shimer makes pieces of art for his friends and family, such as costumes and paintings. "I usually average about three things a week," he said. He said his projects take "anywhere from minutes to years" to complete. One of the long-term projects he is working on is a painting of his grandmother. Shimer said he has always had a big imagination. "I' ve always been poor," he said. "I always wanted all the neat stuff that everyone else had, but

keep evil spirits from bothering the dead. Mandrake roots in a graveyard were infused with the soul of the person buried beneath. If someone pulled up the root, it would screech, and its scream would kill the person who pulled it up. The Monkey Puzzle Tree was often found at the edge of a graveyard, because the sparse foliage kept the devil from hiding during a funeral so he could steal the soul of the recently departed. Apparently, evil spirits don' t like the appearance ofreeds and keep their distance, so these were often planted in churchyards.

ing. Many plants were sown for what they said about the person buried. It was thought that flowers would grow on the grave ifthe person led a good life. If the person had been bad, only weeds would grow. The Victorians, especially, were particular to the meaning of flowers and plants. Marigolds were symbolsof grief. This was because when the sun set, they would fold up and their heads would droop as if in sorrow. Pansies were planted as signs of remembrance and humility. Periwinkle (vinca minor) was planted close to urns as they were tokens of simplicity. The poppy was used to promote peace and eternal sleep. A rosebud on a tombstone meant

that a child was buried there. The Druids considered the oak thetree oflife,and mistletoe thatgrew there was placed on the dead to make them immortal. Many cultures across the globe associate plants with symbolic meaning for the dead. Today, in our American culture, much of the symbolism is lost, except for the color white to symbolize purity.

and colors. On this Halloween, think of all the potions and herbs that can ward off the evil spirits. Of course the evil spirits in costumes that will be coming to your door are different. Those little spirits can be warded off with candy and goodies. Make sure you give them treats, lest you be visited with a trick. And don't forget to recycle your jack-o'-lanterns into pumpkin pies or breads. FrancieMcGotDan ts a

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 houniondemocrat.corn

Choice to babysit Up to grandma, grandpa DEAR ANNII<: My h usband' s parents are wonderful people in

Annie's Mailbox

their late 70s, but I am concerned

that their kindness is being abused M

by my brother-in-law,"Dan, and his

wife, "Jane." My in-laws have always been involved in their grandchildren'8 lives, but lately it has become taxing for them both physically and mentally. Dan andJane callon them forbabysitting day antI night. Often they drop the three kids oIF the evening before. My in-laws always oblige, even though the youngest is not even a year old. Last spring, Dan lost his job. He now is home all day, but the kids are still with Grandma and Grandpa a lot of the time. Twice in the last two months, Dan and Jane strolled in well after 1:00 a.m. and my in-laws had to drive themselves home in the wee hours. Saturday, Dan dropped the kids off at Grandma's while he went golfing

with a neighbor. Yet he complains thatthey don't have enough money to hire a sitter. I have taken Dan' s kids when my schedule allows, but I think it is irresponsible for them to expect his parents to be their children'8 caregivers. I have been biting my tongue, but it is obvious to everyone that they are taking advantage of his parents. Should I speak up? I don't want to cause a family feud.FUINING OVER FRKELOADERS DEAR FUMING: Your husband should talk to his brother, explaining that it's becoming difftcult for Mom and Dad to take care ofsuch yotmg children, and urge him not to count on them so often. You are a earing daughter-in-law, but to a great extent,

this is up to your in-laws. Until they decide they' ve had enough, there's not much you can do. DEAR ANNIE: My brother MYim" passed away from cancer two months ago. He had never married. Within hours, my younger brother and his wife actually went through Tim's house and took what they wanted. My own mother kept all the money from his sympathy cards insteadof using it to help pay for a headstone. Even before the funeral, several family members took over Yim's house and property and went through his personal things. Whatever they didn't want, they handed to whoever was around. Iliveseveralstatesaway,and right now, I don't ever want to speak to these relatives again. Your thoughts, please. — IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO LOSE A LOVED ONE DEAR HARD ENOUGH: Some people behave in appalling ways when a loved one dies. What

seems likegreed could also have been a way forfamily members to keep something of Tim's to remember him by,although your mother'sbehavior ishard to excuse. Please try to find a way to forgive them. Dear Readers: Happy Halloween.Please dress your trick-or-treat ers in flame-retardant costumes that

don't obstruct walking or vision, and be sure an adult accompanies them. And when you tuck them into bed, don't forget to change your clocks back one hour and replace the batteries in your smoke alarms.

Stomach ulcers commonly caused by bacteria DEAR DR ROACH: I am a 64-yearold female who has a longstanding historyofgastriculcers verifi ed by eight endoscopies. The most recent gastroenterolo gIst told me that he believes they are chronic and that I should have stomach surgery to cut out the part of

the stomach where the ulcer is. I am an R.N. who has heard horror stories concerning stomach surgery. I was thinking about having a surgical consult, but none of the surgeons I have contacted has expertise in this area. What do you think? — S.L. ANSWER: Stomach ulcers once were thought to be caused by stress, but that thinking was upended when scientists in Australia discovered bacteria inside stomach ulcers and one physician inoculated himself wIth a bacterial culture, causing ulcers. These were then cured with antibiotics and bismuth salts. It is now thought that most ulcers are caused by infection from these bacteria, called Helicobacter pylori (for their spiral shape and the location near the pylorus, the stomach outlet). With eight endoscopies, you certainly should

To Your Good Health I

Keith Roach, M.D. have had a biopsy to look for this infection, but it also can be diagnosed with stoolorbreath tests(blood testsareless precise). Another cause of ulcers is the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as naproxen or ibuprofen. However, my concern is that if you never had H. pylori and you don't take regular NSAIDs, the ulcer could be caused by abnormal growth, either precancerous or cancerous. I suspect your most recent gastroenter ologistisworried aboutthis possibility as well. Even though you may have had severalbiopsies,apersistent ulcer with no clear cause is highly worrisome, and surgical intervention is clearly worth considering.

Yo 6nd a surgeon with expertise in your area, I would start by looking at the website of a teaching hospital near you, and find a surgeon with expertise in stomach cancer. I am not saying that I think you have stomach cancer, but that an expert in stomach cancer sur-

gerywould be a good choice to provide you with a surgical opinion. DEAR DR. ROACH:I saw that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends aspirin to prevent colon cancer. Should everyone be taking an aspirin a day? — D.L.G. ANSWER: In September 2015, the Task Force issued a draft recommendationstatement that adults ages 5069 shouldat least consider low-dose aspirin (such as an 81-mg tablet daily or 325mg every other day)in order to prevent both heart disease and colon cancer for those who have a 10 percent or greaterrisk forheartdisease (a calculator is available at cvdrisk.nhlbi.nih. Readers may Icr7'te Dr: Roach, M.D., gov). The studies on aspirin for the preven- at 628 Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32803 tion of heart disease have had conflict- or email ToYourGoodHealthOned.coring results, with several new studies nell.eduwith medical questions.

unable to con6rm the signi6cant benefit seen in older studies. Also, aspirin can causebleeding, especially of the stomach, and this bleeding can rarely be serious, even life-threatening. For thesereasons,some experts have disagreed with the Task Force. In fact, the draft recommendations speciIIcally exclude people who have an increased risk of bleeding, since the risk of aspirin is too high in that group (those who have no known disease). On the other hand, studies have been consistent that men and womenwhotake low-dose aspirin have lower risk of developing colon cancer, which would provide an additional benefit to taking aspirin. Since the balance of risks and benefits is so highly dependent on individual factorsfor heartdisease,colon cancer and bleeding, only your own medical provider can work with you to make a decision about whether aspirin is right for you.

Today in history Today is Saturday, Oct. 31, the 304th day of 2015. There are 61 days left in the year. This is Halloween. A reminder: Daylight saving time ends Sunday at2 a.m. local time. Clocks go back one hour. Today's Highlight in History: On Oct. 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Palace church, marking the start of the Protestant Reformation in Germany. On this date: In 1864, Nevada became the 36th state as President Abraham Lincoln signed a proclamation. In 1926, magician Harry Houdini died in Detroit of gangrene and peritonitis resulting from a ruptured appendix. In 1941, the Navy destroyer USS Reuben James was torpedoed by a German U-boat off Iceland with the loss of some 100 lives, even though the United States had not yet entered World War H. Work was completed on the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota, begun in 1927. In 1955, Britain's Princess Margaret ended weeks of speculation by announcing she would not marry Royal Air Force Group Captain Peter Townsend. In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered a halt to aH U.S. bombing of North Vietnam, sayinghe hoped for fruitful peace negotiations. In 1984, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two Sikh (seek) security guards. In 1994, a Chicago-bound American Eagle ATR-72 crashed in northern Indiana, killing all 68 people aboard. In 1999, EgyptAir Flight 990, bound from New York to Cairo, crashed off the Massachusetts coast, killing all 217 people aboard.

Toughest deal at week's end By PHILLIP ALDER

West Yogi Berra, who sadly died last month, produced a classic Yogi-ism when he said, "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." Allweek, we have been studying when a defender should or should not overruff. This is the toughest deal of the week. West is defending 4 A Q J1 09 7 6 against four spades. He leads his singleton heart. Vs East wins with his queen and continues with the I Q94 heart jack. After South ruffs with his spade queen, 4K 5 what should West do? Over North's one-diamond opening, East might D68I6p N0+h have jumped to four hearts. There is a school that believes with 7%1-1 distribution, one should always bid game immediately (unless too strong for that action, of course). What is the significance in East's carding? With Pass Pas s Pas s A-0-J-10 of hearts, he is supposed to win the first 44 trick with the 10. To break a key defensive rule, he Opening lead: 7 2 is sending a suit-preference signal, shouting that he has the diamond ace. Therefore, West will be tempted to overruff and to shift to his diamond 10. East would win with his ace and lead another heart, but South would ruff, draw trumps, and claim. West, with only the spade five, should realize that there is no chance of a trump promotion. Instead, at tricktwo, he should discard his diamond 10, starting a high-low with his doubleton. South cashes his spade ace and plays another spade. West takes that trick and leads his diamond three. East can win and give his partner a diamond ruff to defeat the contract. If you did that correctly, your partner should give you a pat on the back.

NBA

SACRAMENTO (AP) — With the game in the balance in the closing minutes, Paul Pierce did just what the Los Angeles Clippers hoped he would in the clutch. Pierce endeared himself to his new teammates by putting Los Angeles ahead for good with a late jumper in the Clippers' 111-104 seasonopening victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. "That's what he's here for," point guard Chris Paulsaid."When you put me and Paul in that onethree pick and roll they have to make a choice. If you switch, you have a smaller guy on Paul. What are you going to do?" The Kings were looking for improved defense this season after a full training camp under coach George Karl, who took over last February. But the Clippers started fast by making seven of their first eight shots to take a 15-4 lead and did not trail until the fourth quarter.

California looks to beat USC for first time since '03 BERKELEY (AP) —The fortunes for Southern California and California have undergone quite the change the past two weeks. Back-to-back losses by the Golden Bears (5-2, 2-2 Pac-12) have erased the good feeling from a 5-0 start and have raised questions about whether Cal is in for another lateseason flop. USC (4-3, 2-2) rebounded from the firing of coach Steve Sarkisian and three losses in a fourgame span to hand Utah its first loss last week in a performance that validated the preseason hype around the Trojans. If a topsy-turvy season in the Pac-12 has proved anything so far, it's that perceptions can change quickly. The Trojans will look to avoid that rollercoaster when they visit the Bears on Saturday. USC has been able to do that over the years against Cal, dominating this in-state rivalry for more than a decade. The Trojans have won 11 straight meetings against the Bears since a tripleovertime loss in 2003.

Preuss took a handoff from quarterback Dylan Byrd, and went nearly untouched on his way to a 33yard touchdown. Calaveras led 21-0 toward the end of the first half. "Noah gives us a lot more options and he has a different gear," said Calaveras head coach Jason Weatherby. "He's patient when he needs to patient. He breaks it when he needs to break it.

49ers running back Carlos Hyde ruled out for Rams game SANTA CLARA (AP) — San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde has been ruled out of Sunday's game at the St. Louis Rams because of an injured left foot. Hyde, the NFL's ninth-leading rusher with 470 yards on 115 carries and three touchdowns, did not practice this week. Coach Jim Tomsula had previously said the decision to play Hyde on the artificial surface at St. Louis would be made on game day.But the 49ers said after Friday afternoon's practice that the team's medical staff met with Tomsula and officially ruled Hyde out. Without Hyde, San Francisco is likely to turn to 10-year veteran Reggie Bush, who has been in and out of the lineup with a calf injury. The team's other available running backs are rookies Mike Davis and former Australian Rugby League star Jarryd Hayne. In four games, Bush has eight carries for 28 yardsand four receptions for 19 yards. The 30-year-old was signed to a one-year deal in March after stints with the Saints, Dolphins and Lions. San Francisco (2-5) has the league's lowest-ranked offense in both scoring and yardage. With Hyde leading the way, the 49ers rank 17th in rushing offense, averag-

ing 110 yards per game. Notes: WR Anquan Boldin said he anticipates playing Sunday despite being listed as questionable with a hamstring injury. The injury was sustained in an Oct. 18 win against the Baltimore Ravens. Playing with the injury last week against Seattle, Boldin had three catches for 39 yards....49ers CEO Jed Yorkhad an unplanned meeting with local reporters coming off the practice field Friday and said he would formally addressthe media at a later date.
