Patricia Hartzell had just entered Walmart with her daughters when a woman walked toward her and offered to h o l d H a r tzell's 5-month-old baby, Lisa Grace.

Alarmed, Hartzell responded, "No, please go."

Hartzell, 32, was carrying the baby, and 7-year-old Madysen was pushing a shopping cart. They made their way to the baby department forbaby formula.

"All of a sudden, she comes flying around the corner," Hartzell said. "She goes, 'Give me your baby. You' re going to hurt your kid. You' re going to kill your kid.'"

Hartzell told the woman to leave her family alone, but then the woman tried to grab Lisa Grace out of her arms.

She smelled of alcohol and did not walk steadily.

The City of Sonora could join a growing number of California cities and counties that are implementing policies to clamp down on smoking tobacco in public areas.

The idea has been floated several times by the Sonora City Council at meetings in recent months. At an upcoming planning retreat scheduled for Nov. 30, the council may discuss potential restrictions on smoking as part of its legislative goals for 2016.

"It's a constant bone of contention," said City Councilwoman Connie Williams.

While gathering public input on the city's Vision Sonora Plan, a long-term blueprint to improve mobility and aesthetics in the downtown area, Williams saidmany residents expressed a desire to see smoking prohibited in public spaces.

Members of the Vision Sonora Design Committee and community volunteers (above) worked together Friday afternoon to clean up the sidewalk and entrance lobby outside of the former Baer's clothing and antique store at 105 S. Washington St., Sonora. City Councilwoman Connie Williams organized the effort after seeing pictures posted on Facebook of the spot's grimy appearance. She's hoping it will inspire other business owners on Washington Street to spruce up their storefronts as well. "We'd like other building owners to take pride in the outside of their business and to make it more appealing for residents and guests when they come to the City of Sonora," she said.

On Syrian refugees: Avoid past missteps

,': elà $N

<8l

~5K~4~ @Fue %ON

California Gov. Jerry Brown is in the minority among the nation's governors for saying Syrian refugees are welcome here.

So far, 30 governors have said they will refuse to allow resettlement in light of the terrorist attacks in Beirut, Paris and now Mali in northwest Africa.

Unjpn

thority to do so is

entity ether than the United States government can set immigration policy, and President Obama has been clear in his desire to offer asylum to 10,000 Syrian refugees.

But states can keep Syrian refugees out of programs for job training or classes to learn English.

The U.S. House voted this week to make it harder for Syrians to immigrate by requiring the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and the director of N ational Intelligence to certifythat a refugee poses no threat to the United States. Such a requirement would virtually halt immigration.

Eight of 39 California Democrats in the House joined with all 14 California Republicans to approve the measure.

Democrats in the Senate promise the legislation will go nowhere.

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has sponsored bills that would tighten the visa waiver program and another to prevent peopleon the terrorist watch list from purchasing guns.

In the meantime, the presidential candidates are jumping on board to make the issue truly political. Donald Trump wants a database to track Muslims. Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush want to admit only Christian refugees. Chris Christie says no to Syrians in New Jersey.

The line from an Emma Lazarus sonnet that's on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" is a nice sentiment.

But the fact is there have been any number of times the people and government failed to live up to that promise.

Irish immigrants and European Jews faced overt discrimination, and Native

Americans an d

were rounded up and resettled, losing everything in the process.

It's interesting to note that a Supreme Court ruling that upheld the government's decision to hold people of Japanese descent in concentration camps during World War II has never been overturned despite constitutional scholars saying it is patently unconstitutional. Moreover, in 1988, the U.S. Government apologized for it and paid $20,000 to survivors.

Is that who we want to be today?

The facts of the Syrian resettlement are these. About 2,000 have arrived in the U.S. since 2012. It took them between 18 months and two years to get here after being scrutinized by the United Nation's Refugee Agency, the State Department, the FBI, Homeland Security and the Defense Department.

Despite those who mock this, the truth is most of the people seeking to come here are women, children, reli-

gious minorities, and victims of violence and terrorism.

Shelly Pitterman of t h e U n i t ed Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees told the Guardian, "They' ve rejected the ideology of extremism and share the values of freedom and tolerance."

Brown is r i g ht. S yrian r efugees should be welcomed.

The U.S. process for deciding who gets avisa is multi-layered and thorough. Nothing good comes from repeating pastmissteps.After all,our forefathers came here seeking refuge from oppression, too.

GUEST COLUMN

Let's not commodify a frozen embryo I'm more than a little reluctant to write this column. Whatever I write will be interpreted through another lens: that of the abortion debate.One ofthe many bad consequencesof a debate that has now lasted more than four decades is that we can't talk about anything without first trying to fit it within the abortion debate, which is not necessarily the only or best way to look atit.

So just for a moment, let's assume that Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, as it has been for more than four decades, and just focus on the question at hand: A husband and wife freeze their embryos. Eventually, the couple ends up divorcing. The man doesn't want to be a father with his ex-wife. His ex-wife is a 46-year-old woman who froze these embryos before she had cancer treatment. She has about zero chance of getting pregnant without them. What do you do?

For the lawyers, this question is madeeasierby two points:the

ment.

couple signed a form provided by the clinic in which they agreed to destroy the embryos if they divorced; and they' re in California, where, until this week, no court had ever ruled on the question.

That's because surrogacy is legal in California, and contracts are generallyenforceable.

"It is a disturbing consequence of modern biological technology that the fate of nascent human life, which the embryos in this case represent, must be deter-

mined in a court by reference to cold legal principles," the judge wrote. She went on to enforce the contract, finding that the wife, an anesthesiologist, was smart enough to understand what she was slgnmg.

The wife, Dr. Mimi Lee, did sign a contract.

YOUR VIEWS Vandalism a disservice To the Editor: I was disheartened to read of and then to see the vandalism to the sign supporting a Dollar General in Columbia. The perpetrator(s) not only broke the law but did the opposition to theproject a great disservice:An overwhelming proportion of Columbia opposesthe proposaland issurely not servedby being associated with vandalism. Shame on those responsible.

However, the clueless or disingenuous sponsorsofthe sign deserve some blame for poisoning the discussion with falsehoods. Dollar General may or may not be "coming soon." No permits have been issued nor even public hearings held. The opposition to the project is enormous and possibly unprecedented, spanning the Columbia Area Advisory Council, the State Park, the elementary school, the Chamber of Commerce, Friends of Columbia, the Volunteer Fire Dept. and countless citizens.

The sign also proclaims the proposal as "Columbia's first hometown variety store" Thisis absurd:Dollar General's hometown is in Tennessee and the Columbia Mercantile, a locally owned and operatedvariety store existed con-

tinuouslyforatleast45 years.

Dollar General: Perhaps not coming soon, definitely not hometown, and decidedly not first. The proponents

heard of a case in which a woman

within five years of treatment can contribute to a recurrence. And then there are the mega-fertilitydrugs she would need to take.

No, it seems to me that there' s nowhere to hide: She wants to be a mother; he doesn't want to be a father. An embryo is not life, but it isn't an expensive painting or a block of stock, either. Commodifying it, treating it like any otherobjectofa contract,seems wrong — not from the point of view of the expanding cells in the embryo, but from that of the parents, and especially the mother.

That a woman lied about taking birth control is no defense for the father in a paternity claim.

The Superior Court wrote a careful, 83-page opinion, but there are some pretty gaping holes. For instance,Lee's expert said she had a .03 percent chance of getting pregnant, while the fertility clinic said the chances of pregnancy were between 0 percent and 5 percent.

Moved byvets' stories To the Editor: Dave Gookin's remembrances of his &iends, Gary Galambos and Billy McDonald,touched me deeply.So many details of their stories could have happened to my family — and yetmy men came home.

Both my husband and brother were "high on draft" (something that kids today probably don't understand- but it was an omnipresent fact of life that hung over everyone's head in those days) so both of them just got in ahead of it.

My husband, Joe, was sent to Vietnam inJune of'67 and served at An Khe andHue- Phu Bai during the Tet OfFensive. My brother, Stephen, was a helicopter pilot for Special Ops and flew in Vietnam in 68-69.

And yet they both came home- living long good lives with loving families.

Dave's two friends were not so lucky.

These two young men- who I did not know- are very real to me now. I shall think of them on future Veterans Days.

Bid to end death penalty may collect signatures SACRAMENTO (AP) — Death penalty opponents led by former "M-A-S-H" star Mike Farrell can begin collecting signaturesfor their latest attempt to repeal the ultimate penalty, increasing the chances that California voters will be faced with a choice between competing initiatives next year.

The secretary of state's office said Friday that backers have until May 17 to gather nearly 866,000 signatures if the measure is to appear on the November 2016 general election ballot.

Death penalty supporters, meanwhile, are attempting to gather enough signaturesfor their proposal to speed

up executions by providing more appellate lawyers and speedier appeals. That campaign was announced earlier this month by several prosecutors, police officers and family members of victims.

More than 900 killers have been sentenced to die in the most populous state since the death penalty was restored in 1978, but just 18 have been executed.

No one has been executed in California since 2006, when a federal judge forced a still-ongoing review of the state's lethal injection procedures.

A similar proposal failed by 4 percentage pointsin 2012,but Farrellsaid the revisedproposalhasa betterchance.

It would require murderers given life sentences to work in prison, with 60 percent of their wages going to victim restitution.

'That does make a difference to people," Farrell said in telephone interview.

emocrats us to revent unsaestot oseonterror ist WASHINGTON (AP) — People on the U.S. government's terrorist watch list often can't board commercial airliners, but they can walk into a gun store and legally buy pistols and powerful military-style rifles.

Sensing a political opening from last week's Paris attacks, Democrats are renewing callsfor Congress to pass

the Government Accountability Office, people on the FBI's consolidated Terrorist Watchlist successfully passed the background check required to purchase firearms more than 90 percent of the time, with more than 2,043 approvals between 2004 and 2014.

According to a March analysis by About 420,000 people are on the list ad-

ministers by the FBFsTerrorist Screening Center, though only about 2 percent of those are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents legally able to buy guns.

The new Democratic push, which is considered unlikely to succeed in the GOP-controlled Congress, is focused on legislation by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, DCalif., that would let the attorney general compile a list of known and suspected terrorists.

Federally licensed gun dealers would be barred from selling firearms to them, just as they are already prohibited from sales to people with felony convictions or serious mental illnesses. The proposed legislation would not prevent transactions that don't involve licensed dealers.

Sugar, corn industries settle bitter battle LOS ANGELES ( A P) — The sugar and corn industriesended their bitter billion-dollar dispute over sweeteners Friday in a secret out-of-court settlement.

Defiant Parisians honor those killed in attacks PARIS (AP) — A week after the deadliest attacks on France in decades, shellshocked Parisians honored the 130 victims with candles and songs Friday, knowing that at least one suspect is still at large and fearing that other militants could be slipping through Europe's porous borders.

Having established how the attacks againsta soccer stadium, sidewalk cafesand a rock concertwere carried out, investigators were still piecing together details on the assailants and how they converged in the French capital.

Prosecutors said Friday that they had determined through fingerprint checks that two of the seven attackers who died in the bloodshed had entered Europe through Greece on Oct. 3.

Previously they had said only one attacker had been registered in Greece, an entry point for many of the hundreds of thousands of migrants seeking asylum in Europe.That man carried a Syrian passport naming him as Ahmad Al-Mohammad, though it's unclear whether it was authentic.

The five other attackers who died

had links to France and Belgium. One of the seven dead has not been identified, while a manhunt is underway for one suspect who escaped, Salah Abdeslam, 26. French police stopped Abdeslam the morning after Friday's attacks at the Belgian border but then let him go.

French police official Jean-Mare Falcone, speaking on France-Info radio, said he was unable to say if Abdeslam, whose brother, Brahim, blew himself up in the attacks, could be back on French territory.

Lake Don Pedro Community Services District (District) southeast of the Zarzamora Court and Avenida Central intersection; Assessor's BA1bN 8 Parcel No. 020-290-0090 in Mariposa County. The residential-type wells would be installed with a disturbance footprint of up to approximately 225 square feet per well or a combined total of 900 square feet. The wells would be used to provide emergency water to the District. Power poles and electrical supply system would be supplied to the well sites from a location near the end of Zarzamora Ct, to operate the wells. 'Ihe project produces no negative environmental effect, therefore the evaluation of other alternatives was not absolutely necessary, nor were there any other viable alternative to evaluate. A no project alternative would have put the community at risk of loss of water supply, so that alternative was also not further considered. Multiple locations were evaluated for construction of the new wells, but due to limited groundwater in the area, the existing project site was selected due to its higher water production potential.

"Our off icers looked at the surveillance video," he added. ''We' ve had numerous contacts with her as well, and we r~ gnized her."

Anyone with information on Boulanger's whereabouts is asked to call the Sonora Police Department at 532-8143.

"We need to get fuels off the ground because there's still fire danger out here," Johnson said t odaymorning near the divide separating the Tuolumne River and Clavey River watersheds. "And we need to burn to move forward with reforestati on. Invasive species and brush have already started growing in most parts of the burn."

Thousands of fire-damaged pines still stand in steep-s loped drainages from Cherry Lake Road to Jawbone Ridge.

"Overall, the objective is to get rid of the fuel that's left over from timber sales," Laeng said.

Before burning started, Laeng told his squad members high temperatures Friday in the project area were expected between 66 and 69 degrees, with relative humiditiesfrom 29 to 36 percent and west winds up to 14 miles per hour after 2 p.m.

Johnson said there are no meteorologists on-site in the prescribed burn projectarea. Crews use spot weather

So nor a received an T" grade in the American Lung Association's latest State of Tobacco Controlreport for doing "little to nothing" to improvetobacco controlpolicies.

A total of 324 cities and counties throughout the state also received a failing grade, representing60 percent ofall municipalities.

Tuolumne County received a slightly better "D" grade because of an ordinance that prohibits smoking in most publicplaces outside of the City of Sonora.

The ordinance applies to placesin the unincorporated area including, but not limited to, public transit, public buildings, indoor and outdoor dining areas, indoor and outdoor sports venues, polling places and common areas in apartment complexes and multi-unit housing facilities.

Those who violate the county'sordinance are subject to fines of up to $100 for the first offense and up to$500 for repeat offenses.

"That doesn't apply to the City of Sonora," said Kristina Herrera, project manager of the county Public Health Department's tobacco education and prevention program.

Herrera said the city has approached the public health department in the past about developing an ordinance to regulate smoking. Health officials are also working on ways to strengthen the county's existing ordinance.

Jim David, of Jamestown (above left), smokes a cigarette Friday afternoon outside a downtown Sonora bar. A downtown bar that allows smoking indoors informs customers with signs (above right).

According to the American Lung Association, 40 California cities and counties adopt ed new policies in 2014 aimed at reducing exposure to secondhand smoke.

'This isn't a particularly novel or new idea," said Dr. Liza Ortiz, the county health officer. "In fact, it seems the norm in the rest of the state is to not be smoking in public places."

Smoking also contributes to a high rate of chronic disease. The cost of smoking in 2012 was $9.3 million for Tuolumne County and $6.5 billion across the state, ac-

cording tothe collaborative Healthy Stores for a Healthy Community campaign.

Ortiz said th e county's economic burden for chronic disease is the highest in the state, with the high percentage of smokers being a major factor.

"I moved to T uolumne County recently, and my experience in California before was in different parts of the state," she said. "I' ve been quite surprised by how smoking is so prevalentin ourcommunity and how hard it is for people to avoid it, even when they want to avoid it."

Implementing policies to curb smoking in public spaces reduces the risk of nonsmokers being exposed to secondhand smoke and changes social norms, Ortiz said.

"When it's no longer the social norm to smoke in public, people are less likely to smoke in public," she said. "That has resulted in decreasing smoking ratesacrossthe state and nation."

Hypothetically, the council could choose to adopt an ordinance as lenient as the county's, or even stricter than state labor laws that prohibit smoking in nearly all workplaces.

The Angels Camp City Council heard a proposal Oct. 6 from the Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention to regulate smoking in Angels Camp. Both the city and Calaveras County as a whole have received "F" grades from the American Lung Associationfora lack oftobacco control policies.

According to minutes from the meeting, the council directed city staff' to work with the group and conduct furtherresearch into the cost of implementing such policies.

The Americans for Non-

smokers Rights advocates for cities and counties in California to adopt ordinances to close exemptions in state labor laws that give some businesses the ability to allow smoking within their establishment.

Jason Raines, part owner of a bar in downtown Sonora that allows indoor smoking, said being able to smoke inside prevents people from going outside and potentially bothering people walking by.

Raines said the bar has a sign posted at the entrance warning people that smoking is allowed inside of the establishment, so they can choose to enter if they want.

"I understanda lot of cities are doing that, but it' s kind oftaking away fi .eedom of choice," he said. "I think as long as something's posted, it should be the landowner's decision."

Some agree that the issue boilsdown toa ma tterofpersonal freedom.

Jim David, 70, of Jamestown, was puffing on a cigarette Friday afternoon on the sidewalk outside of a bar in downtown Sonora. He said he would be against any sort of public smoking ban in the

city,because there's already enough rules targeted at smokers.

"I voted for the non-smoking in areas, but I didn't know they were going to kick us outside," he said,referring to the 1995 statewide ban on smoking in most workplaces, bars and restaurants. "Then once we' re outside, now they

want to move us 20 feet from the entrance."

Nonsmokers, meanwhile, say something needs to be done to cut down on smoking in the downtown area for both health and aesthetic reasons.

Sarah Garcia, of Soulsbyville, said she fiequently has to walk through clouds of secondhand smoke to get from her office near the Tuolumne

County Superior Courthouse on Washington Street to her gym.

"I am compassionate for people that smoke because there isn't really anywhere you' re allowed to smoke anymore," she said. "I just don' t enjoy breathing it in when I'm just walking down the street."

Natalie Mastro, who owns a jewelry store on South W ashington Street, s a i d many smokers will carelessly smoke outside her store or toss their cigarette butts on the sidewalk. She said she' s in favorofa ban on smoking in public like those in Bay Area cities.

"You can't avoid the entire street," she said. "There is no clean mountain air in downtown Sonora."

Williams said the Sonora City Council still needs to discuss what the regulations would look like or if they want to move forward with them at

all. She's hoping to get input from all sides of the issue.

"I think it would be good to look at Angels Camp and other cities that have had the same issue and what solutions they' ve come up with," she said. "I'd also like to hear from constituents in the City of Sonora to hear what they think. I'm sure, if we have an ordinance, there will be a public hearing, so everybody will have the opportunity to weigh in on this."

Ten yearsago Iplanted about a dozen dafFodil bulbs in my front yard. Every year since, those beautiful bloomers have multiplied, creating drifts of yellow, white and orange while the rest of the garden is still sleeping.

And the best part is, I have done absolutely nothing to make that annual spring show happen. I haven' t watered or fertilized them, and I' ve never once divided them.

Many bulbs are relatively carefreeadditions to the garden, particularly if you choose natives and/or ones that adapt easily to the Sierra foothills' soil and climate.

of the easiest bulbs to find and plant now include anemone, allium, freesia, hyacinth, tulip and narcissus. But don't limit yourself to the nursery and big-box store standbys.

There are a number of lovely native bulbs, like the Tuolumne fawnlily (erythronium tuolumnense), harvest brodiaea (brodiaea elegans) and purplehead (dichelostemma capitatum).

AEIIIHA

Morn irked by kids' relationship with dad DEAR ANNIE: My husband and I raised my three children with very little help ftom their birth father. He paid no child support and rarely visited them.

Of course, now that the children are adults, Dad is back in the picture.

My children are so hungry for what they feel they missed that they' ve left me behind in the dust. I do understand this on a primitive level, yet it hurts.

I would like people to think about how much care is required to raise a family. That "father" didn't take you to the doctor, the orthodontist or any of the other necessary appointments.

He didn't go to your school activities and conferences or talk to your teachers. He didn't support you as he should have, emotionally or 6nancially, even when he had the money.

He didn't have to instill discipline, especially when one of the reasons you acted out was because you felt abandoned by your father. Now you

body odors are hard to control, so it's best not to make assumptioas.

It's possible that this man bathes daily and wears deodorant and it still isn't enough. It could be the detergent he washes his clothes in, his shampoo or soap, or even an ineffective deodorant.

Someone aeeds to talk to this co-worker and suggest that he speak to his doctor. The supervisor is the best one to do this, making it an issue of of6ce professionalism and not personal judgment. We know this is difficult for anyone to do, but ft'ankly, the supervisor would be doing him a huge favor.

I am losing pubic hair, and even hair up to the navel. Why is that?

Years ago, I found that I had lost the hair between my legs. A medication I was prescribed (Lexapro/Celexa) had bad side effects for me. I could not get adecent erection,and had loss of perineum hair. Could there be a connection?

That's a simple blood test.

Today in history Today is Saturday, Nov. 21, the 325th day of 2015.

There are 40 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:On Nov. 21, 1985, U.S. Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Jay Pollard was arrested, accused of spying for Israel. (Pollard later pleaded guilty to espionage and was sentenced to life in prison; his release on parole is scheduled to take place today, Nov. 21, 2015.)

On this date: In 1789, North Carolina became the 12th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.

In 1922, Rebecca L. Felton of Georgia was sworn in as the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate.

In 1942, the Alaska Highway, also known as the Alcan Highway, was formally opened at Soldier's Summit in the Yukon Territory.

In 1974, bombs exploded at a pair of pubs in Birmingham, England, killing 21 people. (Six suspects were convicted of the attack, but the convictions of the so-called "Birmingham Six" were overturned in 1991.)

In 1980, 87 people died in a fire at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. An estimated 83 million TV viewers tuned in to the CBS prime-time soap opera "Dallas" to find out "who shot J.R." (The shooter turned out to be J.R. Ewing's sister-in-law, Kristin Shepard.)

In 1990, junk-bond financier Michael R. Milken, who had pleaded guilty to six felony counts, was sentenced by a federal judge in New York to ten years in prison. (Milken served two.)

In 1995, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above the 5,000 mark for the first time, rising 40.46 points to end the day at 5,023.55.

West's two-spade intervention was debatable, Vulnerable: East-West given that he knew the opponents had his side heavily outgunned, but it worked well here, because S outh W e s t No r t h Ea s t 1% Pass East raised to four spades.

Many experts sitting North would have opened two hearts, planning, come what may, to rebid in Opening lead: 4 4 diamonds to show the 6-5 with limited point-count.

Now, though, despite only nine points, North had a super hand. He could have quietly raised to three diamonds, but he reasonably preferred a jump to four clubs. This was a splinter bid, showing a big diamond fit and a singleton (or void) in clubs.

Then, over four spades, South, with such poor trumps, might have signed off in five diamonds; but with two aces, it was reasonable to pass, inviting a slam. However, North settled for five diamonds.

South, who was happy to lose one trick in each minor, won with her spade ace and played a diamondtodummy's ace.When the king dropped,declarercashed the diamond queen,played a heart to her ace, and returned the heart jack. When the queen appeared, South claimed all 13 tricks.

On or about December 1, 2015, the County of Tuolumne will submit a request to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for the release of Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 as amended, and for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, under Title 1 of the Housing 8 Community Development Act of 1974, to undertake a program known as the County of Tuolumne Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program (OOR Program) for the purpose of providing financing for income-eligible households to rehabilitate single-family homes, and for a program known as HOME First-Time Homebuyer Acquisition with Rehabilitation (FTHB Acq./Rehab. Program) for the purpose of providing financing for income-eligible households to purchase and rehabilitate single-family homes, both within the unincorporated areas within the County of Tuolumne.

During the 5-year period that program is to run immediately following the date of HCD approval, the OOR Program will utilize current and future HOME grant funds, HOME Program Income and Recaptured Funds, future CDBG grant funds, CDBG Program income funds, and any other source of federal, State and local funds as they may become available during the program term. The approximate amount of these funds may potentially reach$4,000,000, ofw hich the amount of HOME funds may be an estimatedmaximum of $2,000,000, and the amount ofCDBG funds may be an estimated maximum of $2,000,000 to provide loans of up to $125,000 per unit to rehabilitate a maximum of 80 homes/units.

In addition, the Acq./Rehab. Program will utilize current and future HOME grant funds, HOME Program income and Recaptured Funds, and any other source of federal, State and local funds as they may become available during the program term. The approximate amount of these funds may potentially reach $2,000,000 of which the amount of HOME funds may be an estimated maximum of $1,000,000, to provide first-time homebuyer loans of up to $120,000 for acquisition with rehabilitation, with a maximum of $80,000 for the rehabilitation portion, to assist a maximum of 20 homes/units as part of the FTHB Acq./Rehab. Program.

The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) for the area of consideration that documents the environmental determinations for these programs is on file at the County of Tuolumne Community Resources Agency (CRA) and may be examined orcopied weekdays 8 A.M. to 3 P.M. The County of Tuolumne will use the Appendix A format to supplement this ERR with additional site-specific reviews further addressing Historic Preservation, Explosive and Flammable Operations, Airport Clear Zones, Flood Insurance, Toxic Substances and Hazardous Materials prior to approving any loan or grant under these programs.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the County of Tuolumne CRA. All comments received by November 30, 2015 will be considered by the County of Tuolumne prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION The County of Tuolumne certifies to HCD that Bev Shane in her capacity as Certifying Officer consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HCD's approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the County of Tuolumne to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HCD will accept objections to the County of Tuolumne's Request for Release of Funds and Environmental Certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the County of Tuolumne; (b) the County of Tuolumne has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the project have committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HCD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58 Sec. 58.76) and for the HOME Program shall be addressed to the Department of Housing and Community Development, HOME Program,P.O. Box 952054, Sacramento, CA 94252-2054 orforthe CDBG Program to the Department of Housing and Community Development, CDBG Program, P.O. Box 952054, Sacramento, CA 94252-2054. Potential objectors should contact HCD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

BRIEFING

Oregon QB Adams gets shot at USC EUGENE, Ore. (AP)Vernon Adams Jr. was a big USC fan growing up.

Oregon's quarterback is a native of Pasadena, and like many kids who grew up in Southern California, he was dazzled by the likes of Matt Leinart and the Trojans of a decade ago.

"I used to go to all the home games," he said.

"It was an honor seeing those guys play, seeing how they got it done."

Adams even has a tattoo that says "SC" with interlocking letters, similar to the Trojans' logoalthough now that he's a Duck he maintains it's an homage to his Southern California home, not the school.

Vernon will get a chanceto face the team he once idolized on Saturday when the No. 23 Ducks (7-3, 5-2 Pac-12) host the No. 22 Trojans (7-3, 5-2) with conference championship implications for both teams.

Adams, who played three seasons at Eastern Washington before joining the Ducks, has been coming into his own since returning from a finger injury that had hampered him since the opener.

Last weekend in Oregon's 38-36 victory at Stanford, Adams threw for 205 yards and two touchdowns. In each of the two prior games, he' d thrown for 300 or more yards and four touchdowns.

Last Saturday, I got in my first duck hunt of the season with Bill Davidson of theSanta Fe Club near Gustine.

With 8:52 remaining in the third quarter, Sonora High Wildcat Brett Mccutchen (33) heads downfield following blocker Blake Graham (56).

For Michigan,Ohio it's all led to this COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The entire Big Ten season has been leading to this: No. 9 Michigan State vs. No. 2 Ohio State. Just about everything that has come before will either be validated or forgotten.

There have been a few bumps along the way and the biggest game on the regularseason schedule for both teams haslostsome of its luster from when it looked like a potential 1-2 matchup in September.

But it is still a really big deal.

The loser cedes control of the Big Ten East title. Without that, there is noBigTen championship, and without that, you might as well say goodbye to the College Football Playoff.

The first 10 games of the season for the Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0) seemed like preliminaries. Playing nothing but unranked teams, they haven't been nearly as dominantas expected for the first unanimous preseason No. 1 in the history of The Associated Press poll.

Still, they arrive at the make-or-break part of the season as expected and in position to repeat. With one good performance against the Spartans, all the angst about the Buckeyes goes away.

The Warriors (11-1), the Southern League champions, came in undefeated and brought with them several hundred fans, but didn't come close to outnumbering Sonora supporters. The Wildcat fans showed up in strong numbers and were loud, and had plenty of reasons to be.

Orestimba won the opening toss — the only thing it would win — and chose to kick to Sonora.

It took the Wildcats (11-1) three plays to take the lead.

Quarterback Sammy Page kept on his option and split the Warrior defense for a 50yard touchdown just 46 seconds into the game.

"Our touchdown in the first minute reminded me a lot of last week's game," said Wildcat fullback Brett McCutchen. "It really set the mood for us winning this game. And I think it opened their eyes to how much better we were then them."

"We hit them hard," said Wildcat center Nick Konklin.

"We knew they were coming in with hope, and we had to take that out of them. We started really strong, and took it out of them right away.

McCutchen scored on a 10yard run, and quarterback Sammy Page hitFaughnan for a 17-yard touchdown pass a few minutes later, and the lead ballooned to 33-0.

Gookin added a nother touchdown with 24 seconds left in the half to give Sonora a 41-0 lead at the break.

The Wildcats scored the first nine times they had the ball. They were stopped just once, in the fourth quarter

with just over 5 minutes to play and a running clock.

Orestimba had negative 18 rushing yards in the first half and was at negative 24 yards with just 3 minutes left in the third quarter when the score was 55-0. The Warriors finished with 78.

BOWLERS TRIVIA

OAKLAND — In a matter of months, Rich Hill's remarkable path to rejoining a rotation took him &om Washington's farm system to independent ball on Long Island and then back to Boston to start in September.

Hill moved to the right side of the rubber and adjusted his arm angle along the way — and he just landed himself a nice new contractbecause of those significant tweaks, which might mean little to someone outside the game.

The left-hander agreed to a $6 million, one-year contract with the Oakland Athletics on Friday, giving the small-budget &anchise a versatile,experienced pitcher who can handle a varietyofroles.

Yet they' re counting on him as a starter. Hill chose the A's because he gets to start again.

Trivia question: How does the Baker Format or Baker System

works Answer at end.

This column covers Nov.8 through 12.

Steve Feola (Umchu Full House) seemed to really like bowling on lanes 3 and 4 as he rolledgames of 237-266-289 fora series of792.His scores made him the sole owner of the men's high game and series for this report.

Feola had rolled 10 strikes in succession and was stopped by the two pins in his quest for a 300 game. This is his highest

series that I am aware of, and

he was 78 pins and 159 pins over average with these scores.

The women's high game honors are, once again, a shared event with Mary Feola (High Rollers) and Vicky Fox (Mixed Angels) both sending the ball down the synthetic lanesfor a 203 game. Feola also had the women's high series while bowling 552 with the High Rollers.

There were two other 700

series bowled, and t hose were by Dave Rossi (Young at Heart) with 726 and Bobby Papapetrou (Monday Madness) with a 739.

Other notable scores include: SIRS — Trim Mercado Sr., 277; Monday MadnessBobby Papapetrou, 268, Dan Isam, 265, Patrick Pillsbury, 255/682, John Rago, 668; High Rollers — Kevin Flanagan, 657; Morning Rollers — Bruce Peterson, 674; Young at Heart — Bruce Peterson, 254/667, Bob Thomas, 654; Jokers Wild — Warren Walker, 257/663, Anthony Chastain, 665, Roger Brown, 654; Mixed Angels — George Balcarel, 256/654,

Les Olson, 255, Eddie Warzee, 654; and Umchu Full House — Dave Rossi, 268/694, Bob Chambers, 267.

The "I can't believe I beat myself club" had the following inductees: SIRS — Trini Mercado Sr., 111 pins over average with a 277; Senior Merrymakers — Pat Otto, 80 pins over with 234, and Kathy Sudduth, 76 pins over with 180;Mixed Angels — George "Dr. George" Balcarcel, 79 pins over with 256.

Entering the 'Youth Over Average" are Jasmine Darby, 41 pins over with 144 game, and Dallas Ford, 91 pins over with 526 series.

Most of theleagues are not bowling next week due to Thanksgiving and will resume their normal Round Robin routine on Nov 29.

Black Oak's Senior No-Tap tournament will be held on

The good feeli ngs lasted only 14 seconds. Daniel Wyatt returned the ensuing kickofF 70 yards, and Sierra retook the lead. The Timberwolves added to its lead following a Redskin turnover, and with 7:47 left in the game, Calaveras trailed 28-14.

"Just keep working. Keep fighting," senior linebacker Wade McC ann told Nick Quinday and Giangregorio while on the Calaveras sideline. McC ann played the whole game with his left hand in a cast as a result of a chipped bone suffered in last week's win over Center.

Giangregorio kept fighting.

He brokea run up themiddle 65 yards to bring the Redskins one step closer. A missed PAT kept the game 28-20.

"The play developed perfectly, and I saw an opening," Giangregorio said. "I just hit the holeas hard as I could, and I have never run harder in my life."

Sierra added one final score to put the game out of reach and burst any hopes Calaverashad ofmaking a miraculous comeback.

"It was pretty difFicult running the ball tonight," Preuss said. Every time I got the ball, I had two or three dudes on me, and I was getting hit left and right. It was a physical game."

"I thought that the game was all on me," Giangregorio said ofhis pass."I needed to make a play and get us back into it right there."

Center Rodney Hudson questionable for the Raiders ALAMEDA (AP) — The Oakland Raiders may be without starting center Rodney Hudson when they try to snap a two-game losing streak Sunday in Detroit.

Tony Bergstrom will start for Oakland if Hudson is unavailable. Bergstrom made his first

Getting him back in the lineup is key, too, after Oakland was held to 14 points in the loss to Minnesotaits fewest in more than a month.

"I'm getting better," Hudson said.

"Everything is getting better every day, so I'm going in the right direction."

Hudson had played in 40 consecutive games dating to Week 3 of the 2012 seasonbefore being sidelined against Minnesota. He had been hopeful of convincing the coaching staff to let him play against the Vi-

kings but was fine getting a week ofF. Standing on the sidelines gave Hudson a different perspective during the game, something he was able to use in his discussions with Bergstrom when Oakland's offense came off the field.

With the Raiders clinging to playoff hopes, Hudson is anxious to get back.

"We' ll see how it goes today and tomorrow,"he said "I feel good at practice but we' ll take it a day at a time."
