Events in Turkey and S yria e arlier this week may result in schedule changes for Obama and Putin.

The goal at the climate c hange c onference i n France is to try to get participating nations to hash

name of the employee or the extent of his

injuries, citing privacy laws that apply to medical personnel and hospitals.

Tom Haglund, TUD general manager, said TUD officials and investigators have not been able to interview the employee.

The accident occurred Nov. 18. It was reported to Cal OSHA by a fire captain and by TUD that same day.

Haglund said Wednesday that TUD managers have no reason to believe the employee was not following all safety guidelines and protocols.

"But we don't know exactly what happened so we are having the matter investigated," Haglund said.

Earlier Wednesday, details from Cal OSHA were limited.

reportedby a fi re captain and byTUD to the Cal OSHA office in Modesto on Nov. 18," said Peter Melton, a spokesman for Cal OSHA based in Oakland.

Melton said he could not locate more information stemming from the incident last week.

How the accident was discovered is part of what's being investigated, Haglund said. Haglund said he could not say whether the employee remains hospitalized.

The regional wastewater treatment plant on Southgate Drive was built in the 1970s, Haglund said.

"I don't believe that there has been any previous accident at this location," Haglund said.

Haglund said he made arrangements for an independent investigator to investigate the Nov. 18 injury incident on the day it occurred.

"It's an important measure to ensure we can take action to prevent accidents," Haglund said. "Because of the nature of the accident being unknown I want to have a thorough investigation."

Haglund, the former top administrator

for the City of Gilroy, started with TUD in November.

As Gilroy's city administrator from 2008 to 2015, Haglund helped oversee police, fire, community development, community services, finance and administration, as well as water and wastewater delivery systems, which serve more than 14,000 customer accounts in Gilroy.

Haglund's other experience before he came to TUD includes general manager duties for the South County Regional Wastewater Authority, a joint powers agencyfor the cities of Gilroy and Morgan Hill in Santa Clara County.

Haglund said he looked at employee safetyrecords before he decided to take the general manager job with TUD. "We take every employee accident very seriously here at TUD," Haglund said.

"It's an area I looked at before I came here. We have a safety coordinator and all employees, especially field employees, take part in safety training. We try to do everything we can to mitigate risk."

Shooting protesters to Hollande, on Moscow visit, calls for broad anti-IS coalition target shopping areas

SEEN AND

HEARD

MOSCOW(AP) —French President Francois Hollande called for forming a broad international coalition against the Islamic State group, using his visit to Moscow on Thursday to try to unite France, the U.S. and Russia on a response to the Paris attacks that killed 130 people.

IS has claimed responsibility for the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris, as well as deadly bombings in Beirut and the downing of a Russian airplane on Oct. 31 that killed all 224 people on board over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

'Vile need to take the lead so that there can be actions against terrorism that must be intensified," Hollande told Russian President Vladimir Putin at the start of their talks at the Kremlin.

'Terrorism is our enemy," Hollande said.

"We know it, it has a name: it's Daesh, the Islamic State."

Putin said that Russia was mourning for Paris victims and those who died in the downing of the Russian passenger plane over Egypt. He praised Hollande's efforts to build an anti-terror coalition and said that Moscow was openforstrongercooperation.

Germany, meanwhile, has decided to send reconnaissance aircraft, tanker planes and a warship to help in the fight against IS. Hollande's visit comes two days aRer he met with President Barack Obama in Washington, where both leaders vowed to escalate airstrikes against IS and bolster intelligence sharing.

Hollande's difficult task became even more arduous after Turkey shot down a Russian warplane near the Syrian border on Tuesday. The incident underscored the complex

military landscape in Syria, where a sprawling cast of countries and rebel groups are engaged on the battlefield and in the skies overhead, sometimes with minimal coordination.

The French president hopes to make progresson three priority issues:to prevent Syrian President Bashar Assad from targeting civilians, to focus the airstrikes on IS militants — not the moderate Syrian opposition — and to move forward on a political transition in Syria.

France will also seek to "avoid an escalation" between Russia and Turkey, according to a French diplomatic official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

In advance of Hollande's meeting with Putin, France sought to dismiss concerns that it might soften its stance on international

sanctions against Russia over Ukraine in exchange for Russia's cooperation in the fight against IS. France's ambassador to the U.S., GerardAraud, tweeted on Tuesday evening that "Hollande has confirmed the sanctions will be maintained as long as the Minsk agreements are not implemented."

Araud was referring to peace agreements for eastern Ukraine forged in the Belarusian capital in February.

Following his meeting with the French president, Obama said Russian cooperation in the fight against IS would be "enormously helpful.

"Both Obama and Hollande,however, insisted that a political transition in Syria must lead to Assad's departure. Russia, on the other hand, has been Assad's staunchest ally.

CHICAGO (AP) — Small groups of d e monstrators g athered throughout t h e day Wednesday to protest the death of a black teen shot 16 times by a white police officer, and they urged s upporters to join them i n

trying to shut down Chicago's famous Michigan Avenue shopping district during the Black Friday shopping bonanza.

About two dozen protesters gathered outside Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office a day after authorities released the graphic video, footage that President Barack Obama said "deeply disturbed" him.

The video shows officer Jason Van Dyke, who was charged Tuesday with firstdegree murder, firing an entire magazine into 17-yearold Laquan McDonald.

The protesters held banners showing photos of other blackpeople fatally shot by police in Chicago and elsewhere. Several said they were parents of black men killed by Chicago officers.

"You cannot kill our children and expect us to be quiet any longer," protester Quovadis Green said. "It is

unacceptable."

A ctivist M a r k Ca r t er called on people to "rise up" and shut down the Magnificent Mile shopping area on Friday.Protesters also planned to target the Board of Trade and other landmarks in the coming days, he said.

Carter and others want the Department of Justice to investigate the Chicago Police Department and its history of covering up bad behavior.

The Urban League of Chicago joined in the call for a federal investigation, alleging a pattern of "discriminatory harassment" against black people.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson said otheroff icers involved in McDonald's death should be fired or at least suspended. He also wants a special prosecutorappointed to the case, complaining that Cook County State's A t torney Anita Alvarez took too long to bring a murder charge in the shooting, which happened more than a year ago.

Earher generations beheve that male enlistment in the military had an equalizing effect; wars brought men from allclassestogether to fight for a common cause. Newspapers are the modern (much less dangerous) equivalent, in that they provide a common experience for people of all walks of life, as well as a common investment. My 98-yearold mother-in-law, who has a high-school education, reads the same paper that people with letters after their names read.

A couple of years ago, I saw "Newsies" on Broadway, a musical based on the 1899 New York newsboys' strike. It was odd to sit in a theater filled with young fans who were caught up in the plot about newspaper tycoon Joseph Pulitzer's underpaying and bullying his young hardscrabble newspaper hawkers.I presume many of them wouldn'tdream of reading a newspaper, never mind paying for it. Many get their daily reports from news feeds and Facebook; their information is customized, sort of like a sandwich with the crusts cut off When you getyour news from Facebook friends and like-minded websites, your politics remain in an echo chamber of stories that validate your worldview. When you open up a newspaper, you don't know what you are going to read. There will be problems that you probably didn't anticipate, as well as heroes in unlikely places. Newspapers, like life, are filled with stories that challenge how you think the world works.

You consider yourself pro-law enforcement, for example, but then you discover outrageous abuses in the federal sentencing system thatviolate allsense offairness.

My suggestion, then, is that you take a few minutes over this holiday to remember some ofthepeople who helped,educated orinspired you when you were younger. Then sit down and handwrite a letter letting one of them know. I am willing to bet that if you do, you will never regret it — and if you don' t, you will.

I warn you that once you start on this path, you will inevitably think of additional benefactors and more letters you need to write. That, by the way, is one of the benefits you will reap &om this practice. When you do, you don't need to thank me.

As I write this, Washington Post reporter and Bay Area native Jason Rezaian is in an Iranian prison after he was convicted for undisclosed crimes and sentenced to a

tence. President George W. Bush asked his pardon attorney to reconsider Aaron's petition for clemency; the Justice Department official wrongly recommended against a commutation as he withheld crucial information on the case. In 2013, President Barack Obama acted. Now Aaron is a contributing member of society.

Ilearned about Aaron through a "Frontline" documentary on federal sentencing abuses, produced by Ofra Bikel. ProPublica's Dafna Linzer, now with MSNBC, later reported on the former pardon attorney's bad-faith move. Engaged readers wrote to the White House to ask for justice. Journal-

volves explicitly thanking someone who has done something valuable for you — particularly the kind of thing you can never repay.

Some years ago, on some occasion that caused me to reflect on how I got to where I am, I started thinking about some of the people who made some crucial contribution along the way. It was a pleasurable exercise. What was not so pleasurable was what hit me next: that I had never fully expressed the gratitude I felt.

One college classmate started me in my eventualtrade when she grew weary of my complaints about the student newspaper, which she helped produce, and said, 'Why don't you join it and make it better?" I resisted, but in the end I accepted her challenge. A fateful step, it eventually made me into a college journalist and diverted me &om my path to law school.

That small encounter seemed inconsequential at the time. But had it not happened, where would I be today? Not where I am, for sure. I found her address, reminded her of the conversation, updated her on my life and thanked her for what she had done.

She obviously had long forgotten the conversation. But she was also obviously pleased. "In my darkerdays,Iwonder ifIhaveevermade a difference in anyone's life," she wrote. "Thanks for letting me know I afFected yours in a positive way."

There was another classmate and student journalist who, when I was a struggling freelancer right out of college, invited me to write for the magazine where he was an editor. The ofFer came at a time when my prospects looked dim and I was thinking maybe law school was not such a terrible option.

I wrote the piece; he used it; and other editors noticed. Soon I was getting published regularly, which eventually led to an actual writing job.

Twenty-five years later, I sent him a letter telling him how important his help had been.

He wrote back cheerfully to say he doubted he deserved so much credit. "But hell, if that' s what you want to think, I'm not gonna stop you," he said.

I suspect some recipients were skeptical when they heard &om me out of the blue. It would be natural to suspect I was buttering them up before, after a brief interval,asking for a favor. Maybe after a while, when that requestfailed to materialize,they got some pleasurefrom realizingthatthegratitude was sincere.

One letter I almost didn't get to write. I had largely forgotten a journalist whose recurring non-credit college seminar on political thought

Nobody knows when people will come.

They could all arrive when the dinner starts at noon. If that were to be the case, lines could get pretty long and some might have to go shop for a little while.

Jason Cowan /Union Democrat In all, the meal provided variety. Attendees Bill Dunlavy Sr. (above) and Bill Dunlavy could choose from traditional turkey, Tongan, Jr. (below) help prepare a Thanksgiving pork, and vegetarian meatloaf. In addition to meal Thursday at Sonora United Meththe main selections, stuffing, sweet potatoes, odist Church. mashed potatoes,bread roll s and various desserts were available.

Vogt says the meal was made possible by donations from members of the church.

In early November, the church put a list of needed items on a community board and the donationsstarted to come in ata rapid pace.

"People just want to give. It really is amazing. We put these little tags on the board and people just take them." Vogt said. "It's like, 'OK, rolls for two dozen people.'Well have 10 tagsor rollstripsand theylljusttake offas many as they think they can get."

The event began as a means to provide for the church members who did not have family in the area, and it has continued ever since.

Vogt says that the event has become somewhat of atradition for some families.

"We have people who do not attend this church who come every year to the ThankslL giving dinner," Vogt said. "It's a big community event. People look forward to it."

"It's an honor. You' ve gotta work hard to get there and to come back again, it's exciting," said Wildcat senior co-captain Wyatt Faughnan.

He agreed with the coach.

People always talk about that 1995 team. nHow they left a mark, a legacy," Faughnan said. "It' s interesting to think about, if we win, we could be the team that's remembered."

The Wildcats (11-1) have some history with the Bruins (9-3). The teams met in the first round of the 2011 playoffs, and the Wildcats earned a 42-20 victory at Dunlavy Field.

Bear River is from Grass Valley and play in the Pioneer Valley League, where the team finished tied for third.

The Wildcats are making their sixth appearance in the championship game.

The goal of most every football team is to be playing and practicingfor games in late November and into early December. Only the best teams make it that far.

The Wildcats started their Thanksgiving holiday with practiceat 8 a.m. — and it

was 32degrees,a little different from the over 100-degree temperaturesfrom the early season.

nWe're just happy to be here," senior Sammy Page said. "Not too many are playing football during Thanksgiving week. It's pretty great to come out here when it's this cold, this late in the year and be able to play."

The Wildcats played every game this season on Friday at 7 or 7:30 p.m. To win the title, theywillhavetogetstarted a lot earlier.

Sonora will board the bus for Elk Grove at 8:45 a.m. to prepareforthe 1p.m .start.

"It's gonna be an adjustment," Page said. nI haven' t played at one o' clock since the sixth grade. But I'm excited for it. We' ll be ready for it.

"We have a similar men-

tality," Page said. "Last year was definitely their o wn group. We have a real strong continuity and a lot of good chemistry. We work hard.

We don't come out here and mess around too much. But it's definitely a similar feeling as last year."

excited. I can barely hold it back."

The Golden Regiment will make the almost two-hour drive and will play the national anthem and provide the Wildcats with a feel of home away from home.

"It's gonna be a little different playing in the day, but I'm excited to play during the day," Faughnan said. "We haven't been moving around all day, maybe we' ll have more energy. And I love the band, it gets me going."

"Having the band is always great," said Wildcat head coach Bryan Craig. "Hopefully we get a big crowd down there to cheer us on."

The Wildcats have an identical record heading into the title as last season. They lost to Oakdale both years and beat everybody else and claimed back-to-back Mother Lode League titles. Sonora was a No. 2 seed last season in division IV while they are the topseed thisyearin division V.

People who are homeless in Sonora can go to St. James Episcopal Church during ofFice hours and receive a backpack full of supplies.

"It's recycling at its best," Kritzer said with a laugh.

White crew socks are always needed, as well as the actual backpacks, Woodall said.

"You don't see homeless people pushing around shopping carts often because our terrainis too hilly around here. We use backpacks so that our items will be easier to transport," Woodall said.

"The feedback we receive is very positive. People are veryglad and thankful for the backpacks," Woodall said.

"We realiz e we aren'tgoing to solve the homeless problem, but the idea is to keep someone from starving and help them to take advantage of all the programs that are ofFered in See PACKS / Page B2

VA proposes new plan for pnvate care programs On Wednesday, VA introduced a wide-reaching plan to Congress to merge and expand its unwieldy networks of private doctors, an a cknowledgment that t h e government cannot address a surging demands from veterans for medicalcare alone.

The goal of the New Veterans C h oice P r ogram, which would combine seven of the agency's existing private health-care arrangements into a single system, is to eliminate gaps in care created by a t angled bureaucracy that has inadvertently impeded rather than broadened veterans' access to care.

"We want a n

i n t egrated

network," he said. "We want the very best providers connected with us. This is a big deal, and it will be a big improvement over what we have now."

VA. isstruggling to serve an influx of veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and an aging Vietnam-era population needing more care.

The agency's failure to manage this demand was exposed last year in Phoenix, where whistleblowers revealed that employees were manipulating wait times to hide long delays for patients.

The problems had unfolded nationwide.

Congress passed a $16 billion overhaul that included a new program to boost the

Nov. 20 Flashback — Jeff Darone, of Willow Springs, said the photo is of a selected scene from a production at Sonora High School under the direction of Lindi Lindstrom called "Christmas on Broadway." The scene was selected from the Broadway musical "Annie." Pictured (right photo, from left) are Bob Ferguson, Fred Fagundes, Jeff Darone, Mark Potter and Lisa Meyers (F.D.R. Cabinet Members). In the wheelchair is Doug Woodford playing Franklin D. Roosevelt. The lone blond bombshell is Cathy Berry playing Little Orphan Annie. The production started on Nov. 29, 1978.

Nov. 13 Flashback — Kerri Francis McCluskey, of Sonora, identified some of the girls pictured.

She said they were likely Junior Girl Scouts, and the photo was probably taken in 1978 or 1979.

Identified are (above photo, from left): Front row — Becky Hailing, unknown, unknown, unknown, Erin Oakes and Amy Gatewood; back row — Inger Lamb, unknown, and Kerri Francis McCluskey.

VETS Continued from Page Bl the Choice program, touted as a fix to the massive appointment backlog, has been slow totake off,partly because patients are not made aware of it by VA staff who are accustomed to referring them to other private-care programs.

To expand access, VA hopes to set up one system with a single set of rules that streamlines the system of who gets referred to outside care and to which doctors. Officials also hope to improve the claims, billing and reimbursement systems for doctors, which is so complex that it turns some good practitioners away. VA would also improve its own medical recordkeeping.

The overhaulneeds approval from Congress, which passed legislation last summer that directed VA to come up with a plan to consolidate outside medical care programs. The consolidation would be costly. VA estimates spending between $1.2 billion and $2.4 billion to redesign

the system in each of the first three years, accordingto the proposal. Expanded access to emergency services and urgent care would cost an additional $2 billion a year. VA officials say they anticipate the extra costs would be largely a result of increased demand from veterans as access to privatedoctors gets easier.

House Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., said last week that the plan deserves close consideration and has merits.

Leicester trumps big names in Premier League MANCHESTER, England (AP) — A glance at the top of Europe's big leagues tells a mostly familiar story after a third of the season.

Bayern Munich leads the German league by eight points already. Paris SaintGermain is even further dear in the French league, holding a 13-point advantage. And in Spain, Barcelona has pushed four points clear and is hitting its stride.

But switch to the English Premier League, and there's a remarkable story unfolding.

Few, therefore, would have imagined that a match between Leicester and Manchester United in late November would involve the teams in

Yet the side nicknamed the Foxes are the top goal-scorers in the division with 28 and have won more points — 10 — from losing positions than anyone else.

A strong work ethic, belief, and a sprinkl ing of stardust in Vardy and Mahrez — these are the keys to Leicester's success. ''We' re just a solid team," Leicester midfielder Danny Drinlmater said. 'We play to our strengths, try and not play to our weaknesses — it' s not rocket science. It's hard to point to a fault at the minute."

And this is no brief uprising. Since the end of March — a period spanning 22 games — Leicester has won more points than any other Premier League team, six more than its

ter level remained stable last week and the water temperature was down to 57 to 61-degrees.

Signs of the fall turnover should soon take place. The turnover is when the surface temperaturedrops below the temperature of the remaining lake. The surface layer of water will sink and push the deep-

estlayer ofwater toward the surface. When this occurs, the trout wiH begin to move doser to shore and shallower water in search of food.

This is the time when bank anglers begin to have success with Power Baits, and nightcrawler/marshmallow combos with a sliding sinker to allow the baitstofl oatabovethe bottom.

Basketbal lcoach Guy V. Lewis dies at 93 HOUSTON (AP) — Former University of Houston men's basketball coach Guy V. Lewis, best known for leading the Phi Slama Jama teams ofthe 1980s, has died. He was 93.

He diedat a retirement facility in Kyle, Texas, on Thanksgiving m o r ning surrounded by family, the school said Thursday.

Lewis coached the Cougars for 30 years. He guided Houston to back-to-back NCAA title games in 1983 and '84 but never won the national c h ampionship, losing to N.C. State in the 1983 final on Lorenzo Charles' last-second shot, one of the NCAA Tournament's greatest upsets and most memorable plays.

Lewis, who helped lead the integration of college basketball in the South by recruiting Elvin Hayes and Don Chancy to Houston, was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013.

"It's a real rivalry, and the rivalries and traditions make college football special," he said. "Wisconsin and Minnesota can be proud of the game and the Battle for the Axe. It means a ton to the people involved and I know it means everything to our team."

Beating Wisconsin would be doubly sweet for Minnesota this year. The Gophers would not only take back the axe, they also would become bowl eligible. Perhaps they can draw inspiration from Jerry Kill, who retired for health reasons last month but will be in attendance. " We' ve been here fi ve years and we haven't won it yet," new coach Tracy Claeys said. "It's the one trophy game here at the University of Minnesota that we haven' t been able to get in Coach's career. With him being at the game, it would be a huge event and very exciting for everybody involved."

The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation.

They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h©uniondemocrat.corn

his elderly mother in a nursing home would seem to lack compassion. But the frustratedfather who wrote the letter conveyed an unspoken tone of disapproval by implying that the older son should feel guilty for not measuring up to the example of his supportive younger brother.

Based on the son'sreported outburst and hisstated feelings ofnever being heard, this has likely been the pattern of a lifetime, however unintentional the father's comparisons may have been.

If the father truly wants to maximize success in having his older son visit, I suggest that a sincere, unqualified apology fornotunderstanding how he previously failed to acknowledge his son' 8 perspecti ve, along with your advice to extend an unpressured invitation, would go a long way toward achieving that.—BEEN THERE DEAR BEEN THERE: It is a common problem between parents and children that they see the same events through very

different lenses. What's worse is when one of them tries to convince the other that their perspective is wrong. This is a recipe for resentment and tIefensiveaess. Parents want their children to love them, and children want to be loved. But a lifetime of misunderstandings and skewed perspectives can get in the way.

In order to move pastthese issues,you sometimes have to be the bigger person and apologize, whether you believe it's warranted or not. The objective is not to be "right." It's to have a close, loving relationship. That often takes both forgiveness and geaerosity of spirit.

However, this recommendation does NOT apply to family members of people with hereditary hemochromatosis, who should be screened.Also, chnicians should know to look for hemochromatosis in people with vague symptoms, such asfatigue, joint pain or skin-color darkening. The condition may be looked for by either genetic testing,orby transferrin saturation, which is the iron level in the blood divided by the "total iron binding capacity." Ferritin levels are high only in iron overload, which most often happens earlier in men than in women.

Today in history Today is Friday, Nov. 27, the 331st day of 2015.

There are 34 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:On Nov. 27, 1945, General George C. Marshall was named special U.S. envoy to China by President Harry S. Truman to try to end hostilities between the Nationalists and the Communists.

On this date: In 1815, the constitution for the Congress Kingdom of Poland was signed by Russian Czar Alexander I, who was also king of Poland.

In 1924, Macy's first Thanksgiving Day parade - billed as a "Christmas Parade" - took place in New York.

In 1939, the play "Key Largo," by Maxwell Anderson, opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theater in New York.

In 1942, during World War II, the Vichy French navy scuttled its ships and submarines in Toulon (too-LOHN') to keep them out of the hands of German troops.

In 1962, the first Boeing 727 was rolled out at the company's Renton Plant.

In 1973, the Senate voted 92-3 to confirm Gerald R. Ford as vice president, succeeding Spiro T. Agnew, who'd resigned.

In 1978, San Francisco Mayor George Moscone

(mahs-KOH'-nee) and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, a gay-rights activist, were shot to death inside City Hall by former supervisor Dan White.

In 1983, 181 people were killed when a Colombian Avianca Airlines Boeing 747 crashed near Madrid's Baraias airport.

In 1989, a bomb blamed on drug traffickers destroyed a Colombian Avianca Boeing 727, killing all 107 people on board and three people on the ground.

Opening lead: 1 J In this auction, North's raise to four notrump was quantitative. If North had rebid four clubs, that would have been the aceasking Gerber convention. South's jump to six clubs showed a five-card suit, which North did well to pass.

There seem to be 12 winners: one spade, four hearts, two diamonds and five clubs.

However, to get all of those heart tricks, South needs a dummy entry. This looks like the diamond ace, but if declarer ducks the first trick, East will win with the king and give his partner a ruff.

Declarer must win with dummy's ace and unblock his queen. Then he can draw trumps, cash his two heart honors, and lead a diamond to force a dummy entry.

Some retirement homes offer training classes for seniors with pets, Cada said, and some veterinarians and trainers have training videos online. Cada's are &ee to watch at www. petcha.corn, a site owned by Dogster and Catster magazine.

You can mentally challenge your dog if you go through a series of commands — sit, stay, lie down, shake, off, roll over, speak, come — in random order at least once a day, Cada says.

Dr. Janet Cohn treats cats at her Purrfect Care Feline Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio. She already makes house calls and in January will open a hospital to allow longer visits for clients who can't come and go easily.

The Goal

Potable Water Delivery

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Teach your dog or cat a few tricks, and your golden years will be better for it.

The movement to improve care for older pets has been going on for some time. But the idea of training pets to help out aging baby boomers is relatively new.

Between 1946 and 1964, 76.4 million baby boomers were born. By this time next year, about a third of them will be between 65 and 70. Millennials will outnumber their predecessors, but boomers were the generation that made cats and dogs part of the family.

Gayle Krigel of Kansas City, Missouri, just turned 65 and doesn't need help now, but she's training her dogs so that when the time comes, the+I be ready. She has two rescues, a very intelligent husky mix named Shammy and a slightly less brilliant St. Bernard mix named Mousse.

After Shammy learns how to fetch the newspaper from the yard during the winter, the dog will start learning to fmd the remote, which is always lost. And then, because they live in a three-story house, Shammy will learn some "upstairs, downstairs, fetch" commands.

Krigel also drills the dogs twice a day on "sit and stay."

Those commands and a few others are crucial to keeping you and your pet safe, especially for older owners who may have a harder time physically restraining an active animal. "Sit and stay" will keep dogs &om jumping on you or a visitor, &om darting out the door and &om straying, said Krigel's trainer, Geralynn Cada. If you drop your medicine, "leave it" or "wait" will stop your dog &om taking it. "Off" will warn him off a table, chair or even you.

Teach your dog or cat to come immediately if you call, in case you need help or the pet is in danger. Then throw in some fun commands like "shake," "give me five" or "roll over," Cada said.

A well-trained dog should walk on a leash without pulling so he doesn't jar achy old bones or pull you down on an icy street. A short leash with a fat handle works best, Cada added.

Treatsand/or praise are key to reinforcing the learning.
