For hours after law enforcement officers stopped looking for Joshua Willis Tuesday, his family refused to give up and, as night began to fall, they

found him on the side of Highway 108 by the ravine in which he hid for seven hours. Willis Willis led Tuolumne County SherifFs

deputies on a 25-mile chase through the western part of the county, then fied into the Red Hills, where officers looked unsuccessfully for two hours, on foot and with K-9s and a helicopter. The Willis family had four

cars driving through the area that afternoon. "He was on the side of the road knelt down," Willis' mother, Wendy Willis, said Friday. "Ks teeth were chattering, and he told us how helicopters flew right over

him at least 25 times and how closethe officers were to him."

The family got him in one of their cars. S We told him right away that he had to turn himself SeeWILLIS /Back Page

Cal Fire plans to liR burn suspension The Union Democrat

People who want to burn debris in Calaveras and Tuolumne county areas under Cal Fire jurisdiction can do so starting at 7 p.m. Monday, according to the state agency. People who have current, valid residential burn permits can resume burning on permissive burn days, Cal Fire's

Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit Chief Josh White said in an announcement Friday. Burn hourswillbe restricted to evening hours — 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. "Cal Fire burn permits will be required until the end of peak fire season," state fire officials said. 'While cooler temperatures have helped to diminish the threat of wildfire, California is still in the fourth year of drought. Property owners and residents are asked to use

caution while conducting debris burns." People who want to burn debris must check burn day status by calling 5335598 in Tuolumne County or 754-6600 in Calaveras County. Debris means only dry, natural, vegetative material such as leaves, pine needles and tree trimmings that originated on the property, according to Cal Fire. For more information on burn guidelines, go online to www fir.ca.gov.

students — and soon members of the community — can gain hands-on experience with the emerging technology. "It's one more thing for kids to be involved in, and there's so many things out there with technology that kids love," said Dave Urquhart, superintendent of the Big Oak Flat-Groveland Unified School District. "They just want to sink their teeth into it." Students were already making 3-D printed plastic gizmos during the first training session held Thursday with Bethany Wilkinson, an assistant at the Sonora Innovation Lab. Principal Ryan Dutton said the school's enrollment has declined from about 120 to 60 since the economy crashed in 2008, and he hopes the new lab will encourage more Groveland kids to attend Tioga High. "We' re always in competition with kids going down the hill to Summerville and Sonora (high schools)," he said. "I think it's kind of leveling off now, and maybe we can bring the population back up with something like this." Funding for the new lab comes largely from th e Economic Prosperity Council, the nonprofit arm of the Tuolumne County Economic Development Authority. The school pledged to renovate the building that houses the lab and will have staff on

I'm writing to encourage all customers of Tuolumne Utilities District, whether it be for water or sewer services, to attend the Public Meeting on November 17, 2015, in the Board Room at TUDHeadquarters located at18885 Nugget Boulevard in Sonora. This meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. As a customer of the Utilities District, I have serious concerns about the rate increases which are proposed. In my opinion, the District has not addressed cost reductions which are necessary. So often we focus on raising revenue, rather than reducing expenses. There are serious difficulties with the unfunded pension liabilities, as well as unfunded health care liabilities for the utility district, which must be properly investigated prior to approval of any rate increases. Also note as indicated in the Union Democrat article on October 28, 2015, the procedure for protesting theproposedchanges. Theseprotests mustbe received by November 17, 2015, and must include the Assessor's Parcel Number and/or street address of the property served. The protest must also be signed by the property owner and should be dated. Robert Davis, CPA

GUEST OPINION

Improving presidential debates

The DAILYSIGNAL Dist. by King Features

By wide consensus, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was one of the two breakout stars in the last Republican presidential debate (Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was the other). Cruz is clearly a very smart man who is capable of saying some really stupid things. The GOP gripedabout the CNBC debate format and questioning. During a debate recap on Fox News, Sen. Cruz asserted that unless you vote in a Republican primary, you should not moderate a Republican debate. In other words: Sorry, Bob Schieffer, Jim Lehrer and Tom Brokaw. Yes, you all qualify as superb journalists with earned reputations for fairness, but unlessyou can firstpass our partisan loyalt y test, you cannot participate.

presidential debates should help conservatives determine who would be the best and most consistent conservative. Forget about any questions on serious matters that might reveal the knowledge, values, wisdom or temperament of the candidate. What citizens need to know, by the Cruz criteria, is who gets perfect scores from the anti-tax Club for Growth and who most adamantly opposes background checks for gun-buyers. No oneisobjective,andapresspassdoesn'tchange that. We are all shaped by our own individual experiences. What the good journalist — of whom there are many — always strives to be is fair. So in the interest of fairness, permit me to suggest some questions that might just make our debates both more interesting and informative.

To Republicans: 'What, in fairness, has been President Obama's single major achievement in oflice?" "If you could propose, with assurance that it would be ratified, just one amendment to the U.S. Constitution, what would it be?" "Why do you think the Japanese kamikaze pilots when they fiew their suicide planes bothered to wear helmets?" "Who was your favorite Beatle?"

uneasy apprehension — the fear that they have no good answer. It was not always so. Today's liberals, like those of Lardner's day, pride themselves on their critical minds, their openness to new and unfamiliar ideas, their tolerance of diversity and differences. But often that characterization seems as defunct as Lardner, who died fartooyoung in 1935. Consider the proliferation ofspeech codes at ourcollegesand universities.The website of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education sets out the speech codes at 400 of the nation's largest and most prestigious institutions of higher learning.

many non-liberals among their faculties and administrations — have decided to limit their students' First Amendment right of freedom of speech. One would have thought that universities would be the last place to limit free speech. The American Association of University Professors was founded a century ago this year precisely to champion free speech on campus. That was then and this is now. We are told that speech codes are necessary because some students may be offended by what others say. In recent years we have been warned that seemingly innocuous phrases may be "micro-aggressions" which must be stamped out and that "trigger warnings" should be administered to warn

YOUR VIEWS Check yourfacts To the Editor: A Nov. 5 letter contained misleading information about TUD water conservation. The writer claimed water conservation was necessary due to the lake level requirement at P i necrest, which

he blamed on the goals "of the environmental left" (and he listed my name in his letter). W riters should getfactsstraight before attacking. Our non-profit Center has publicly gone on record with the State Water Boardproposing a middle-ground plan to allow the lake to drop 4 feet lower in normal-dry years, 2 feet lower in dry years, and 2 feet lower yet in critical-dry years. this extreme drought year was a result of the statewide mandate to reduce water use. It did not result from Pinecrest Lake requirements. Due to sensitive manage-

POLL QUESTION This week's poll question is:

the state mandate, extra raw water was

sent by TUD to agricultural customers because the state did not count untreated wateragainst the conservation criteria. The sad reality is that with so little snowpack in a drought, wells fail, riverstrickle,and allofusneed to conserve water. If this climate trend becomes the "new norm" it will not only mean less water sold for TUD revenues, it will also prioritize the need for TUD to invest heavily to repair leaking pipelines, reduce losses in the ditch system, and otherwise make more efficient use of already available water. All of us who are TUD customers will need to contribute towards the cost

Michael Richard Nelson passed away peacefully at his home on November 1, 2015. He was born June 10, 1940, to CR and Olamae Nelson in Fullerton. His siblings are Doug and Christine. He attended school in Orange County, graduating in 1958, before entering the U.S. Navy. In 1962, he married Janice Ragan and started a family. They were graced with three daughters, Jennifer, Rebekah and Sarah. Prior to moving to Columbia to run his grandfather's candy store, he resided in Southern California working for Pacific Bell. Michael Nelson, who by theexcellence oftheproducts he made and sold, attracted many visitors and local residents to Columbia and to the noted Nelson's Columbia Candy Kitchen on Main Street. To our own knowledge from one end of California to the other, and many parts of the country, just a mention of Columbia has brought praise of the candy which visitors have purchased there. His greatest joy and pride came from thesmiles ofthefacesof those who enjoyed his candy. Michael was an adventure seeker. He always loved water sports such as raRing, deep-sea fishing, scuba diving and waterskiing. He loved to travel with his family and friends. He loved salt, butter, a summer tomato and more than a few cold beers. He loved a good argument, as well as a good party. He was a loving grandpa and showered his grandkids with chocolate and Cheetos. His generosity and love will not be forgotten. Michael is survived by his wife of 53 years Janice Nelson; his daughters: Jennifer and husband Mike McMahon, Rebekah and husband Randy Voorhees, Sarah and husband John Gardella; his grandchildren: Randy "R2" Voorhees, Nelson "Max" Voorhees, Caroline Voorhees, Jack Gardella IV and Angela Gardella.

Beverly "Bev" Fernandez: giver, hiker, adventurer, volunteer, quilter extraordinaire and woman of faith, passed away on November 5, 2015. Bev was born in San Francisco, where she met and married her true love, Robert Fernandez of 57 years. Together they laughed and danced and held hands in a beautiful partnership. She was mother to three daughters; Catherine, Diana and Beth, to whom she gifted her strength and determination,

to include four beloved sonsin-law; Tony, Robert, Glenn and Chad. Beverly was fearlessly engaged in life. She preferred winding lanes to the fast lane and had no problem taking her sedan off-road to her favorite spots on the river. She was a feminist in all of her actions, a creator ofbeautiful things in her spare time, and a generousgiveroflove tothe many who were lucky enough to know her. Bev's love of history and exploration meant no day was the same, no trip rushed and no road left untraveled. Her determination to give her "all to" any challenge she faced was a gift to those who worked alongside her over the years. Bev's six g randchildren (Tony, Catrina, Amber, Sara, Jordan and Adrian) consider her the world's best grandmother, as do the many kids who adopted her as their own over the years. She was ableto hold fi ve great-grandbabies in her arms (Bria, Brynn, Maverick, Camden a nd Drake). Bev will b e missed dearly by her sweet dog Maxine. Bev was a member of the Church of the 49ers in Columbia, where she served others faithfully and was recently honored by the Presb yterian Women with a n honorary life membership forher dedicated and loving spirit. A service in her honor will take place at the church on Saturday, November 21, 2015,at 4 p.m. with a reception to follow in the Church Hall. Bev loved the woods, and so the family is asking for donations towards a picnic table in her name to be placed in Calaveras Big Trees State Park in lieu of flowers. It will

Ellen Blanche Karraker, age 83, passed away peacefullyearly October 21, 2015 at Doctors Medical Center in Modesto. Ellen was born on March 19, 1932 in Bellflower to Tom and Mary (Duroy) Neil. She attended Excelsior High School in Norwalk where she graduated in the class of 1951. Ellen and her husband Donald Bruce Karraker, were married on June 19, 1953, in Bellflower. Ellen was working as a phone operator for Pacific Bell when she met Don (a dragster race car mechanic) who worked for General Pump a total of 30 years. They raised their family in Norw alk. Don and Ellen are the proudparentsofsix children; four of which were two sets of twins. Don and Ellen moved to Jamestown in 1979 and opened D&E Parts and Repair, a Volkswagen Repair Shop, on January 2, 1980. Ellen ran the office of the repair shop and Don, along with their son Daniel, was the mechanic. The shop was open for 34 years until the couple decided to retire. E llen, also k nown a s "Momma Ellen," was very well known throughout the Best in the Desert and Vorra Off Road Racing organizations. Ellen and Don have been apart ofthe team and the pit crew for Sam Berri Racing, Team Margarita, for over 30 years. They attended all races, enjoying visiting with numerous friends at different pits. Ellen was known for her cooked meals in the middle of the desert. She was a mentor to many near and far and in and out

of racing. Ellen loved canning and spent most weekends during the summer (if not at a race) attending the farmers market and then canning vegetables and making different jams. The holidays were the time of the year for her to makeallofher goodies for family and friends, both local andforsome to receive by

State plans to use single drug in executions SACRAMENTO (AP) — As states deal with a nationwide shortage of execution drugs, California proposed Friday to allow corrections officials to choose one offourtypes ofpowerfulbarbituratesto execute prisoners on death row, depending on which one is available. The single drug would replace the seriesof three drugs that were last used when Clarence Ray Allen was executed in 2006, strapped to a gurney in the gas chamber of San Quentin State Prison. The proposal would allow the warden of San Quentin to choose between amobarbital, pentobarbital, secobarbital or thiopental to impose the death penalty.

Eight states already have used a single drug for executions, and five oth-

However, law professor Robert Weisberg,co-director ofthe Stanford Criminal Justice Center, expects many more yearsofcomplex legalchallengesbefore anyone is executed in California.

2012 that California would consider a single-drug lethal injection. However, the process lagged for three years until a judge sided with the Sacramentobased Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, which sued on behalf of relatives of murder victims who said they are affected by the long delay in executions. "Resumption of executions in California is at least a foreseeable possibility now," said Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the foundation.

He praised the state for moving to allow the drug options. But he and Death Penalty Information Center executive directorRobert Dunham said at least two ofthe drugs carry practicaldiff iculties, even though they have been used to executive prisoners in other states. Thiopental is not made in the U.S. and the maker of pentobarbital bans its use for lethal injections.

Russia suspends flights to Egypt, citing security MOSCOW (AP) — In an abrupt turnaround, Russia on Friday suspended all passenger flights to Egypt after days of resisting U.S. and British suggestions that a bomb may have brought down a Russian plane in the Sinai Peninsula a week ago. The move dealt a sharp blow to both countries' tourism sectors amid fearsabout security in Egypt. Russia's federal aviation agency said airlines would be allowed to send empty planes to bring home travelers, but it was unclear when the Russians in Egypt, estimated to number at least 40,000, would be able to return home asplanned from the Red Sea resorts including Sharm el-Sheikh. Within hours of the Oct. 31

crash of the Metrojet Airbus 321-200 that killed all 224 aboard — mostly Russians — a faction of the Islamic State militant group claimed to have downed it in retaliationfor Moscow's airstrikes that began a month earlier against fighters in Syria. The claim was initially dismissed on the grounds that the IS affiliate in Egypt's troubled Sinai region didn't have missiles capable of hitting highflying planes. British and U.S. officials, guided primarily by intelligence intercepts and satellite imagery, suggested a bomb might have been aboard the aircraft.The Russians and Egyptians calledthat premature, saying the investigation had not concluded.

Pictures of Kuntz and flowers adorned the amphitheater stage. At the beginning of the service, Kuntz's casket was brought up and placedin frontofthe stage. Bagpipers played. Officers saluted as the casket passed by. Amy Kuntz Haire, Kuntz's daughter, was among the speakers at the hour-long service. She said her father loved his job. "He was one of the original old lawmen who loved and did things in a way to always help people and do what was needed," she said. "Dad was the most amazing person.... He meant so much more to us than his badgehe was the rock of our family." Kuntz Haire said her father was a man of integrity, honor, love and pride. "He was the most giving person I know, and he lovedCalaveras County and the people of Calaveras County," she said. "I think almost everyone in the county had his cell phone number — that is the way he wanted it. If they needed him — he was available." Calaveras County Sheriff's Capt. Jim Macedo said Kuntz was proud to be the sheriff of Calaveras County. "He would talk about what a duty and honor it was to take care of all of you," he said. Cliff Edson, chairman of the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors, who worked closely with Kuntz, said Kuntz participated in many organizations and committees within Calaveras County including senior support groups and community watch groups.

Wendy Willis said they told her that her son was to exit the car slowly with his hands up. However, before reaching the Sheriff's Office, Joshua Willis jumped out of the car and took off again, she said. They haven't seen him since, she said. Deputies were in Starr Mobile Home Estates in Sonora Tuesday morning trying to serve Joshua Willis with three felony warrants. When he drove in with a friend in a white Chevy pickup with a black hood, deputies believed the two were involved in a string of attemptedburglariesearlier that morning that involved a pickup of similar description. Surveillance footage from the C&C Mini Mart in Jamestown showed two men backing a white Chevy with a black hood into the front doors of the store about 2 a.m. Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Rob Lyons said the two men were attempting to steal an ATM that was empty. The same truck and men were also seen trying to break into Ed's Cocktail Lounge in Twain Harte and the Mi-Wuk General Store in Mi-Wuk Village. At the mobile home park, Willis jumped into a whiteFord pickup and drove off The other man, James Byron Wood, 31, of the 10000 block of Racetrack Road in Sonora, was arrested on charges of attempted burglary, burglary, vehicle theft, theft or extortion of a motor vehicle and receiving known stolen property. The car chase with Joshua Willis ended when he ran out of gas, ditched his vehicle on Highway 108 and took off on foot onto a tract oflandowned by the Bureau ofLand Management.

"Sheriff Kuntz believed in family and he loved his family deeply," he said. "By having such family values, he has helped many families by mentoring and providing support for many years — even before becoming sheriff." Kuntz was elected sheriff in 2010 and reelected in 2014. Edson described Kuntz as giving, honorable and brave. "The legacies that he will leave behind will live on through his family, through his fellow officers across the country — and through the many people, people's lives that he has touched throughout the years," he said. "Those legacies live on through communities that are safer and stronger because of his

"As a family, we want to apologize to the community for any wrongdoing on his part, and we want to thank all law enforcement officers for wanting to bring him in safely," said Wendy Willis. "The scary part is that it would have only taken one overly anxious officer carrying a big gun to overreact and end it all," she said. Wendy Willis said it was difficult to hear people say he was armed and dangerous. "When we found him, he was unarmed with soaking wet clothes," Wendy Willis said. She said she has tried for years to help her 31-year-old son. "It's hell, because society doesn't want you to give excuses, but I can't stand back as somebody who knows him and allow him to be presented as a horrific human," she said. ''When he is sober, he is so different. He is a hard worker and has a little girl. Addiction is a struggle." "It isn't over now though. I just hope and pray that he is taken in soon and put in jail. I want him to face the charges that are brought against him. I just don't want him killed," his mother said. Contact Lydia Browning at I brow ni ng® uniondemocrat.corn or 588-4547.

plants adjust their flowering schedule faster in concert with the longer growing season. They then elbow out natives while snatching up a greater share of nutrients and water. According to Bruce Babbit, past Secretary of the Interior, "The invasion of noxious alien species wreaks a level of havoc on America' s environment and economy that is matched only bydamage caused by floods,earthquakes, mudslides, hurricanes and wildfire. These aliens are quiet opportunists, spreading in a slow motion explosion."

Invasives appear around the world at an ever-increasing speed. Their p r oliferation is aidedby trade, transport and agriculture. Wind and water further pitch in.

house die. This week, students, parents and teachers working with University of California Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners and native plant experts put in a new mix of shrubs and other plants with drip irrigation. "It's been a couple years the water has been off," teacher Linda Cazares said. 'We wanted to beautify the campus, but we wanted to be responsible the way we would water for the landscaping. We chose to use native plants that would not need much water at all once established."

Early Spanish explorers introduced water hogging annual grasses that today cover most of our rangeland.

Gardeners sometimes plant invasives like South American pampas grass, periwinkle (Vinca major) which is perhaps from England, and Mexican feather grass (Nasella tenuissima) without realizing their potentially disastrous results.

Chinese Camp is situated near the 7,100-acre Red Hills Management Area, more than 11 square miles overseen by the federal Bureau of Land Management. People at BLM have designated the Red Hills public lands as an "area of critical

Does it really matter if alien plants overrun backyards, fields and forests? The problem: most native insects cannot eat alien plants. Our insects then disappear impoverishing foodavailability forbirds and other creatures. In turn, the food supply is jeopardized for larger and larger animals. About 75percent of our food relies directly or indirectly on insect pollinators. If pollinators become out of sync with their food sources,they fade away, and the human food supply too diminishes. Because of their ability to rapidly multiply, invasives can push out native vegetation while scarfing up surface and groundwater. They also deplete soil nutrients, accelerate soil erosion, degrade wildlife forage, and decreasediversity of soilbiota thereby further reducing soil nutrients. Disturbed areas are especiallyvulnerable to invasive invasion; their rambunctious growth and litter can then foster wildfire. Dense stands of Scotch, French and Spanish broom sport yellow sweet-pea-shaped flowers that are so attractive homeowners often plant them in their yards. Unfortunately, brooms can also clog waterways while crowding out nativeplants,the food source for wildlife. Automobile tires spread European yellow starthistle seeds willy-nilly along our roadways.

Why worry about invasive plants?

Red Hills

What can wedo? Take immediate action whenever you see bad guys encroaching. Stopping emerging weeds in their tracks makes a tremendous difference in preserving native habitat whether in forestsor backyards. Establish instead native plants and biodiversity, including birds and insect pollinators, will follow. In Washington State, adding native plants to vineyards produced an increase in "good bugs" that in t ur n h elped control insects harmful to the vineyards. Four times more butterflies also emerged! Replacing thirsty lawns with drought-tolerant natives will provide needed sustenance for countless small wild creatures. Extensive lists of both California natives and invasives can be found online at www. calflora.org/. For additional planting ideas, go online to www.cal-ipc.org/landscaping/dpp/ planttypes.php?region=foothills. Each year, University of California Cooperative Extension Master Gardener

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

DEAR ANNM This is in response to "Waiting for Answers," whose husband, "Ron," left their marriage after 14 years for a "vulgar, overweight, heavily tattooed biker chick, who was into drugs and random sex." She asked why he would do that. I understand his thinking. I was in my late 40s and had been married for 22 years when Igot divorced and thought I'd enjoy living large.

Supplementation with strontium not recommended DEAR DR ROACH: I just started taking strontium for my bones. I have osteoporosis. Will strontium help improve my bone density? — L.S. ANSWER: Yes, strontium will increaseyourbonedensity;abetterquestion is whether strontium will reduce your li kelihood of getting a fracture, and that answer probably is yes. However, the best question is whether the risks outweigh the benefits, and that answerisabitunclear. Strontium is a heavy and dense element, but it is treated like calcium by your body, and is placed into your bones. That makes the bone density appear greater by the standard DEXA test, and the rising bone density does notcorrelatewith thedegreeoffracture reduction. Longer studies in Europe did show that strontium reduced the risk of vertebralfractures;however, a European Medicines Agency (similar to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) committee recommended against the use of strontium ranelate (which is not available in the United States) unless there

This is because some data showed increased risk of heartdisease and blood clots. Strontium can be purchased in the U.S. as a supplement; however, it is not strontium ranelate; has not been tested for safety and efficacy; and its risks on the heart and on blood clotting are unknown.

for stage one cancer on his vocal chord. Does radiation negatively affect the immune system the same way chemotherapy does? Should I be looking out for people who don't vaccinate? — H.T. ANSWER: Radiation can affect the immune system when it is given to large areas of the body, since the immune systemcell s are largely sensitive to radiation. Whole-body radiation rarely is used now, except in people planningfor bone-marrow transplant. By contrast,localized radiation does not adversely affect the immune system to anywhere near the degree that chemotherapy can, since the bone marrow,

dividuals, people who are unvaccinated and who are healthy do not pose a risk. It is in an outbreak of vaccine-preventable disease (there have been localized outbreaks of measles and mumps in the pastyear,and there are seasonal outbreaks of influenza) that unvaccinated people are much more likely to be infectious. So anyone with immune system disease (such as chemotherapy or whole-body radiation) should avoid people with potentially infectious illness. Caregivers ofpeople with severe immune disease certainly should be immunized according to current guidelines.Even elderly people whose caregivers are immunized for flu get flu less than those whose caregivers are not.

Today in history Today is Saturday, Nov. 7, the 311th day of 2015. There are 54 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Nov. 7, 1940, Washington state's original Tacoma Narrows Bridge, nicknamed "Galloping Gertie," collapsed into Puget Sound during a windstorm just four months after opening to traffic. On this date: In 1861, former U.S. President John Tyler was elected to the Confederate House of Representatives (however, Tyler died before he could take his seat). In 1916, Republican Jeannette Rankin of Montana became the first woman elected to Congress. In 1917, Russia's Bolshevik Revolution took place as forces led by Vladimir llyich Lenin overthrew the provisional government of Alexander Kerensky. In 1944 President Franklin D. Roosevelt won an unprecedented fourth term in office, defeating Republican Thomas E. Dewey. In 1954, the CBS News program "Face the Nation" premiered with Ted Koop as host; the guest was Sen. Joseph R.McCarthy, R-Wis. In 1962, Republican Richard Nixon, having lost

California's gubernatorial race, held what he called his "last press conference," telling reporters, "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore." Former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, 78, died in New York City. In 1972, President Richard Nixon was re-elected in a landslide over Democrat George McGovern. In 1973, Congress overrode President Richard Nixon's veto of the War Powers Act, which limits a chief executive's power to wage war without congressional approval.

The danger hand is danger By PHILLIP ALDER

Pierre Corneille, a 17th-century French dramatist and poet, said, "We triumph without glory when we conquer without danger." Not at the bridge table — wemuch prefer to +Q J109 triumph without there having been any danger to South our contract. In this deal, for example, how should 4 63 South play in four hearts after West leads the V K Q1098 5 4 diamond king? t 7 South starts with nine top tricks: one spade, 4 K5 2 seven hearts snd one diamond. If East has the club ace, there will be no problems, but the bidding strongly suggests West will hold that card, and if so, y tll ne r a b le. East ~est declarer is in danger of losing one spade and three S outh W e s t N o rt h Eas t clubs. If I/est does have the club ace, unless I/est leads s club himself, South will need to get two spade tricks ... and without letting East, the danger Openinglead:t K hand, on lead. If South wins the first trick, draws trumps, and attacks spades, East will get in with his king and shift to the club queen. The secret is not to take the first trick. Declarer wins trick two with dummy's diamondace and discardsa spade.He draws trumps, leads his lastspadeto dummy's ace, then runs the spade jack, discarding a club if East plays low. When West takes the trick, he is endplayed. A spade return sets up a w inner;a diamond lead concedes a ruff -and-sluff ;and a club play is away from the ace. Or, if East covers the spade jack, South ruffs, crosses to dummy with a trump, and runs the spade 10, pitching a club from his hand, for the same endplay. This deal would defeat many declarers because they would win trick one, then stop to think. Take your time after the dummy appears.

BRIEFING

Stallone still packs a punch

By BILL ROZAK

PHILADELPHIA (AP)There's a scene in "Creed" where the latest brash boxer who challenges the upstart protege of Rocky Balboa barks, "No one cares about Balboa anymore!" Yo, through 40 years of Rocky as an underdog, champion, and aging, widowed fighter, fans sure do care. Dressed in robes, fedora hats and even boxing boots, the costumed enthusiasts chanting "Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!" on Friday had one more reason to cheer for Philadelphia's favorite fictional son.

Hogan almost Stanford's all-time winningest QB BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — This Stanford quarterback doesn't have NFL teams hoping to finish bad enough to draft him with the No. 1 pick. Or a "Horrible For Hogan" type slogan like there was during the "Suck For Luck" sweepstakes a few years ago. Still, Kevin Hogan is on the verge of holding a hallowed place in program history. He can pass Andrew Luck as the winningest starting QB at Stanford on Saturday when the ninth-ranked Cardinal (7-1, 6-0 Pac-12, No. 11 CFP)travel to Colorado (4-5, 1-4). A fourth-year starter, Hogan has 31 victories, which is tied with Luck for the top spot.

Curry leads Warriors to another win OAKLAND (AP) — Stephen Curry led the way once more with 34 points and 10 assists, his supporting cast did plenty totake the pressure off, and the defendingchampion Golden State Warriors beat the Denver Nuggets 119-104 on Friday night to stay unbeaten. Harrison Barnes scored 21 points for Golden State and Festus Ezeli had a career-high 16 points to go with seven rebounds and two blocked shots. At 6-0, Golden State is off to the franchise's best start in its West Coast era dating to 1962-63. The Warriors are three victories from tying the Philadelphia team's 9-0 start in 196061. Klay Thompson added 18 points, six rebounds and five assists and Draymond Green added 12 points, nine rebounds and eight assists as Golden State extended itsfranchise-record home unbeaten streak to 22 games.

Danilo Gallinari led Denver with 25 points, nine on free throws in the Nuggets' third straight loss at Golden State and sixth in nine games. Jameer Nelson's jumper with 3:44 left pulled Denver within 10 points after the Warriors had led by as many as 32.

e. - ~

Ezeli, filling in for the injured Andrew Bogut, dunked on two straight second-quarter possessions with a blocked shot in between and the Warriors'28 fi rst-halfassists were a franchiserecord for any half. This team has been tested just once so far, in Wednesday's 112-108 win against the Clippers — and certainly lookslikea group poised for another specialseason even ifthis one's not even two weeks old. NBA MVP Curry has 30 points in five of his first six games, the first Warriors player to do so since Hall of Famer Rick Barry in 1974-75. Hall of Famer Chris Mullin was the last player with 25 in each of the season's first six games (1990-91). Curry made a 3-pointer in his 79th straight game, matching Michael Adams for the third-longest streak in NBA history. Curry knocked down 8 of 15 3-pointers for Golden State, which had opened defense of its title with five straight games against Western Conference playoffteams from lastseason. Denver beat Golden State at Oracle Arena 114-103 in the preseason on Oct. 13, but the Nuggets lost their fourth in five under former Warriors

assistant and first-year coach Michael Malone.

Letd owns Interim coach Luke Walton figures it won't always be going quite this smoothly for the reigning champs. Golden State showed that in the second half. "It's just natural to have a letdown, and I'm sure at some point throughout

this long season we' ll have one," Walton said. "It's up to the staff to help prepare the guys for everything and it's up to the players to want it just as bad as they did last year. From my view, they do right now. They talk about it all the time, they want more championships. They' re not happy with just the one that we have."

Bogut's progress

practices with no limitations

ALANIEDA (AP) — Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack practiced fully Fridayforthefirsttime this week and is expected to play in Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. Mack has been nursing a sore hamstring that sidelined him for one practice and limited him in another. He originally suffered the injury in the second half of Oakland's 34-20 win over the New York Jets last week. Raiders coach Jack Del Rio saidthe move to rest Mack this week was precautionary. "Just doing the r i ght thing, making sure we allow him to heal up &om the last one," Del Rio said Friday. "We' re fortunate that he' s young and strong and tends to recover very quickly." Mack leads the Raiders with four sacks. The 24-yearold pass rush specialist is alsoone oftheRaiders'best run defenders and a prime reason the team owns the

second-ranked run defense heading into Sunday. Mack told reporters on

Thursday he was almost at fullstrength. "I'm feeling like a million bucks," Mack said. "I'm ready to go." The upstart 4-3 Raiders need all the healthy bodies they can get against the Steelers. Veteran defensive end Justin Tuck is out for the season with a tom pec-

toral muscle and the sec-

fifth straight game after sustaining a concussion in the Oct. 27 season opener against New Orleans. He participated in the full shootaround Friday but still must go through contact before being medically cleared from the NBA concussion protocol, which could happen this weekend.

ondary has been ravaged by injuries. Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be making his second consecutive start after sitting out four games with a knee injury. Roethlisberger wasn' t

crisp in his return last week but remains a threat because of his ability to keep p lays alive with hi s scrambling. That put s a d ded pressure on Oakland's d efense, which h a s struggled to defend the pass for much of the season so far. "The average play is 4-5 seconds. With ( Roethlisberger) it can be extended," Del Rio said."It requires discipline in the secondary. It requiresrelentless pursuit out of our rush. The thing about rushing him is when you get there you have to tackle him with grown man strength. He won't go down with a little finger." Tuck's injury opened the door for second-round dry pick Mario Edwards Jr. to get increased work in practice and in games. The Raiders rookie has nine tackles, one sack and four quarterback hurries over his last three games. Backup defensive tackle Denico Autry has also provided a boost off the bench and is coming off his best game of the season when he had three tackles, one sack and two stops behind the line of scrimmage in Oakland's win over the Jets last week. "It's not much of a drop off when they go in," Raiders defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. said. "You really want to develop your younger players and we' ve been able to do that." Notes: F r e e sa f e ty Charles Woodson (shoulder, knee) practiced fully and is probable....Strong safeties Larry Asante (knee) and Taylor Mays (ankle) are probable.

BEARS Continued from PageC1 he was proud of the way his team battled until the final whistle. "Once the finality of the game starts to sink in, two

things happen," Lever o os said. "Some people quit and you see some people continue. You saw our guys continue."

But there are no moral victories in football, and his team came up on the losing sideof the scoreboard. Leveroos knows how each one of his seniors felt walking off the field for the final time, and he shares the same feeling. "Pain," Leveroos said. "I feelpain for the seniors,because many of us as coaches have lost our last game, and we know what the shelf life is forthe game of football. Who knows how many of those seniors will continue to play football? So, we have pain, but at the same time, we have love for the relationships we made with them.... There is a group of seniors that a lot of our un-

derclassmen loved and cared for and didn't want it to end this way. There is a really

tight bond in that senior class. You could go up and down the roster and up and down the coaching staff and really believe that this is not what we expected." Summerville needed a win to keep its playoff hopes alive and, early in the first quarter, it was on the right track. Fulkerson took a pass behind the line of scrimmage from senior q u arterback T ravis Rodgers, and h e looked down field to pass. Three blue jerseys were in his face, and he shook each defender one by one. Fulker son kept hi s eyes down field and saw senior Eli McLaurin free near the sideline. He heaved a pass and McLaurin made the catch, made two defenders miss on his way to a 55yard touchdown. Senior Jake Noonan, who set up the drive with an interception, connected with a PAT and the Bears led 7-0. "Eli has been outstandi ng," Fulkerson said o f McLaurin, a first-year football player.

Yikes! If we' re Of course,all Raiders fans are Kaepernick, that might cause us suddenly thinking the Raiders just to take severalsteps back. We might run a down-and-out to San-

Do you know we had an El Nino in 2002, too? There might be a connection between rain and the Raiders. The 49ers' leading receiver is Anquan Boldin with 31 catches, 372 yards, two touchdowns. And here' s Michael Crabtree in Oakland: 40 catches, 483 yards, three scores. Who saysthe crabs arepoison thisyear? And then there's Amari Cooper, who has 303 yards ... after the catch.

We' re hearing Steve Kerr and Andrew Boguthave become fabulous pinochle partners. Dusty Baker created an environment where Barry Bonds and JefF Kent could co-exist. He has to look at the Bryce Harper-Jonathan Papelbon situation in D.C. and just laugh. The Dodgers might be setting a record for the most managerial can-
