Calaveras County officials Friday said the final tally of structures destroyed in the Butte Fire is 769, and 503 of them were homes. Initially, Cal Fire reported 818 structures, including 475 residences, and the county indicated housing losses hovered around the 550 range. Sharon Torrence, a public information officer with the county, said the 769 figure

A portion of that money goes to California public education, and despite amounting to 2 percent of most budgets, "every dollar makes a big contribution," Booth said. Mother Lode schools received the final portion of $1.39 billion dollars in state lottery money collected during 2014-15,State Controller Betty T. Yee said this week. "The whole thing about the lottery is that it does generate a lot of money, but what schoolsare getting is not as much as one might think," said Tami Ethier, assistant superintendent of Business Services for the Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Office. In 2014-15, the lottery generated $5.5 billion in total sales, the highest total in its history. Next year, estimates reach $6 billion in revenue, according to the California State Lottery Commission. For over 30 years, a portion of lottery sales and unclaimed prize money has funded public education. In 2010, legislation passed

Depending on the weather, conservancy board members alsohope to tour the Moccasin Powerhouse facility, which harnesses Tuolumne River flows and is owned and operated by San Francisco's Public Utility Commission. The field trip is intended in part to focus on conservancy grants awarded for Rim Hre r estoration projects.

ew nove eps ury 0 woun s Her life now, more artist than rebel, is on a Santa Monica street under pine trees, where Patti Davis wrote a luminous new novel that seems to break like a wave, reporting ahead of the news. The daughter of Nancy and Ronald Reagan, Davis creates a canvas of "a broken city" in "The Earth Breaks in Colors."The city is Los Angeles, her sprawling hometown, which she knows by canyon, by beach, by freeway. The iconic Republican presiJalTIj|.' dent's daughter is just as liberal and engaged as ever in the questions of the day. But the public voice she speaks in is largely the written word, as the author of 10 books. Ages ago, she was known for being a sharp critic of her father, a breach that has since healed. In "The Earth Breaks in Colors," Davis anticipates the racial unrest that began in Ferguson, Missouri. An interracial &iendship between two girls, Whisper and Odelia, is the mainstay of the story, which encompasses many character and complications, and families with bitter histories. Davis does not flinch &om raw racism, addictions, abuse, silences, violence, death. It's all there, woven in prose that also captures the stark grandeur of Southern California. Davis said the girls' friendship was at first portrayed in a state of innocence: "It was beautiful and clear. The world had not intruded yet." Then comes the fearsome power of nature shaking the city. This is a plausible event — expected any day now — yet the author lends it a &esh urgency as a day of reckoning. "It took me where it wanted to go," Davis says of the story. "When the earthquake happened, all the characters were scattered."
The trembling changes and clarifies everything, &eezing the characters in place amid the jams, closures, collapsed roads and chaos.One scene isbased on whatactually happened in Topanga Canyon in a mudslide years ago. Davis once lived in that storied canyon, a haven for artists, writers and musicians. The narrative's span is wide, even for one who knows the vast, dry reaches of Los Angeles. You learn an awful lot about this city, how divided it is," Davis said. For many residents, downtown is almost another country. In the end, the author brings a vision of peace to the deep conflicts between characters in this ensemble. Shattered in the quake, their eyes, too, are opened. They see what and who really matters most. Out of time, suddenly past and future are one, and they choose to reconcile. The world is better, sweeter. Forgive does not mean forget, however, in Davis's telling: "No matter how carefully we mend what' s been broken, there are scars. Evidence of the past always remains — on the shattered face of a clock.... And on the heart." This outlook is a nice rhyme, an authentic tie-in with Davis's own life. She has practice at reconciliation, most of all with her own father, the president of the United States. The word for him, she said, was "elusive." A conversation about her colorful life and family make the past seem close enough to curl up on the coach where we are sitting. The simple house is

Pearl Harbor fading from collective memory In my youth, Dec. 7 was always a big deal, as we remembered Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Today, most of those alive on that fateful day in 1941 are no longer with us, and the collective memory of the event has faded. Subsequent generations have other powerful dates to remember. Nov. 22, the day President Kennedy was assassinated, loomed large in the lives of Baby Boomers. More recently, Sept. 11 has become the day we must never forget. This is the natural course of history moving on. In a generation or two, even Sept. 11 will become just another day in

Congress used those positive feelings to formally commit the federal government to managing the U.S. economy. At the time, most economists and most Americans assumed that the country would slip back into a Depression following the war. Instead, America enjoyed an enormous post-War economic boom to be-

But "The Royal Air Force had 500,000 pilots, and the German Luftwaffe had a million pilots." Not only that, "The U.S. planes were inferior."

ing growth. Later, it put a man on the moon and returned him safely to earth. But the success did not last. The wars in Korea and Vietnam did not end well. The economy spiraled out of control in the late '60s and struggled for more than a decade. The bank bailouts of this century and other events eroded public confidence in the federal government. For those who grew up during World War II, this lack of trust was hard to understand. They still remembered the government that saved the world after Pearl Harbor. In retrospect, thatgeneration'sextraordinary faith in the federal government was a temporary aberration brought about by unique circumstances. Their world no longer exists, and the political system it created is collapsing around us. Our challenge now is to rebuild a political system that recognizes the inability of the federal government to lead our na-

There was an irony in speaking at peace rallies, she says, "when I was at war with my dad." In the 1980s, she says, she was more jaded. She regrets the way she expressed her protests.

The meeting is the first of its kind in the Sunni kingdom, which is a main backer of the Syrian opposition, u n d erscoring how the internationally backed effort is the most serious yet in attempts to end the nearlyfi ve-year civil war.

firm based in London, estim ated the totaleconomic losses from what isconsidered to
be the seventh most damaging wildfire in state history at $450 million. Of that amount, more than $225 million was said to have been covered by insurance.
Debris cleanup As of Friday, more than 20 percentofthe 760 properties that applied for the county's debris cleanup program have been cleared. The program began on Oct. 12 and, at the time, two debris cleanup crews were operating,a resultofscarce resources available in conjunction with the Valley Fire in Lake County that destroyed nearly 2,000 structures. Because of the lack of manpower, the crews cleared seven proper-
ties in the first week. In all, 31 crews have been trained in debris management and are working in the field. Torrence said the crews generallyclear 10 to 12 parcels a day and spend about two days on a property on average. "They' re accomplishing a lot, and we' re good as long as the weather holds," Torrence said. "If we get weathe r, that w il l s l o w t h em down. They won't work in

Each property is different. Some take longer than others to clear. Some properties could have just had a small barn or a little cabin on it, Torrence said.

$3.9 million have been for housing assistance and nearly $1 million have been allotted to victims for other things essential tohomes, Inge said. FEMA has also started placing manufactured housing units on properties within the county. Inge said four families are living in unitsthe first having been placed
cleared ofdebris and given the green light that they are not located in a floodplain," Inge said. Placing victims in the units — saidtobe temporary solutions — is not the first resort, Inge says. FEMA's first preferenceis to place people in rental properties. When that is not a possibility and the victims request a housing modular,they go through an approval process. "We have to look at the site. Determinations need to be made if the site is suitable. It's a multistep process that takes time," Inge said. "If they are eligible and request it, the US EPA and Cal EPA have to remove debris, any hazardous waste, CalRecycle has to haul off fire debris, ash, then we do an inspectionof the site for safety reasons."
The cause of the fire Denny Boyles, a spokesperson with Pacific Gas and Electric, said the investigation into what started the fire is ongoing. That is normal, Gerald Singleton, an attorney with Singleton Law Firm in San Diego County that represents nearly 400 individuals affected by the Butte Fire, said. "It's usually between six months and a year depending upon the complexity of the case," Singleton said. "We' re hoping it will be closer to six months, because this is not a particularly complex one." Ultimately the finding can have significant fi nancial consequences. Singleton, who said it is clear that a tree hit a powerline and started the fire, thinks those in charge will pursue every avenue prior to the release of their findings. 'My personal feeling is that theseareveryim portant decisions. So the people who make them want to make sure they get it right," Singleton said. "If they, for example, find that PG&E is responsible, in all likelihood, PG&E will be paying out hundreds of millions of dollars. And so they don' t want to make that decision lightly."

Lozoya said the district expectslottery money every year and would have to "reorganize priorities" should the payments stop. At Calaveras Unified, a valuable aspect of the lottery payments is that they remain one of the few funding sources that can be used at the discretion of individual school sites.

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

THE IJMO~ DEMO(:IhT
"When the liquor is properly used, the paperwhites we tested were stunted by 30 to 50 percent, but theirflowers were as large, Pagrant and long-lasting as usual." William Millier, director, Flower Bulb Research Program, Cornell University
healthy green as photosynthesis begins. A temperature of about 68 F and direct sunlight will produce the best results. When the buds take on color, return the plants to indirect sunlight to make the blossoms last. Keep the soil moist at all times. The bulbs I planted for forcing include muscari, a crocus mix and narcissus. Don't feel like you have to wait until next fall to try your hand at this process. Local nurseries and garden centers might still have inventory available. November is always the month you findthe prepackaged amaryllis bulb ready for gift giving. The bulb, if not already potted, should be planted in a pot that is only 1-2 inches larger in diameter than
the bulb.The upper half of the bulb should be exposed above the soil. Amaryllis doesn't require the special treatment of pre-chilling. After watering thoroughly, allow the soil to become quite dry. Water more frequently after the flower stalk appears, but never water when the soil is already moist. Put the plant in a warm, sunny spot until the flower buds show color,then move it out of direct sunlight. Amaryllis bulbs can be treated as a houseplant after the bloom period and, with proper culture, can be brought back into bloom the following year. The paperwhite is another bulb that does not require pre-chilling. Paperwhites are most often planted in shallow containers of grav-
el. Place the bulbs on a layer of gravel and carefully fill in enough gravel to hold bulbs but not cover them. A crowded grouping will be the most attractive. Add water to the container. It should go just to the base of the bulbs but not touch them. Place the container in a sunny spot, step back and watch 'em grow! You' ll see roots in a few days, and in three to five weeks you' ll have gorgeous flowers. The biggest objection to growing them has always been that they get too tall and flop over. To make a long research study short, a Cornell University study found that a little shot of booze kept the paperwhites from getting tipsy. No mention was made of the researchers doing the study and possible effects on them. "When the liquor is properly used, the paperwhites we tested were stunted by 30 to 50 percent, but their flowers were as large, fragrant and long-lasting as usual," said William Miller, professor of horticulture and director of the
Flower Bulb Research Program at Cornell in 2006. To control stem and leaf growth, he suggests waiting until paperwhites or other daffodil shoots are several inches long to drain the water and replace it with a solution of4 to 6 percent alcoholhard liquor or rubbing alcohol. To get a 5 percent solution from 80-proofliquor, which is 40 percent alcohol (such as gin, vodka, whiskey, rum or tequila), add one part liquor to seven parts water.
To use rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol), which is 70 percent alcohol, dilute one part with 10 to 11 parts water.
The theory presented at the time was that it s imply might be water stress,that the alcohol
made it more difficult for the plant to absorbwater, so the plant suffers a slight lack of water, enough to reduce leaf and stem growth but not enough to affect flower size or flower longevity. An added word to the wise: Don't serve beer or wine to plants — the sugars wreak havoc on their health!

Health professionals: Practice what you preach DEAR DIL ROACH:I retired from a large hospital after smoking was prohibited in the building. At that time, doctors still smoked in their lounge, and other employees — nurses, technicians, etc. — smoked on the adjacent strip-mall property or in their personal vehicles. I imagine that the doctors no longer smoke in their lounge and are not seen in public view, but employees still smoke in public view. It's obvious becausemost ofthe medicalstaffwear scrubs.— L. ANSWER: Health-care professionals can make bad decisions about their health, but I agree with your implication that they have an obligation not to do so while in the role of someone concerned for health. I certainly have seen physicians in white coats smoking outside my own (previous) hospital, and routinely see other health professionalsdo so.It's hypocrisy for us to then tell others not to smoke. So, to my colleagues in medicine: Please don't smoke when you are recognizable as a health professi onal.Itm akes itharderto get people toquit.

Today in history Today is Saturday, Dec. 5, the 339th day of 2015. There are 26 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History:On Dec. 5, 1945, five U.S. Navy torpedo bombers mysteriously disappeared after taking off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on a training mission (designated as Flight 19) with the loss of all 14 crew members; "The Lost Squadron," as it came to be known, later contributed to the legend of the Bermuda Triangle. On this date: In 1831, former President John Quincy Adams took his seat as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1848, President James K. Polk triggered the Gold Rush of '49 by confirming that gold had been discovered in California. In 1932, German physicist Albert Einstein was granted a visa, making it possible for him to travel to the United States. In 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union announced a bilateral space agreement on exchanging weather data from satellites, mapping Earth'sgeomagnetic field and cooperating in the experimental relay of communications. In 1979, feminist Sonia Johnson was formally excommunicated bythe Mormon Church because of her outspoken support for the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution. In 1994, Republicans chose Newt Gingrich to be the first GOP speaker of the House in four decades. In 2013, Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who became South Africa's first black president and was a global symbol of sacrifice and reconciliation, died at age 95.

If West had started with the 8-5-3 of hearts, he would have led the three: low from length in partner's suit when the opening leader has not raised that suit. So East cashes his heart ace. What next, though? It looks obvious to play another high heart, hoping to promote a trump trick for West. But if South is on the ball, he ruffs with his spade ace and immediately cashes three club tricks, discarding his diamond on the last round. He loses only two hearts and one spade. Cash all of your side-suit tricks before trying for a trump promotion. East must take the diamond ace before leading the third heart. Then East trusts West to say, "Well defended, partner."

Secondsbefore the start ofthe second half, Van Der Veur walked over to the &ont row of the Oak Pavilion seats, took a piece of gum kom his father, who along with Van Der Veur's mother made the trip kom Utah. Perhaps that single piece of gum had magic qualities because Van Der Veur took control of the game.

said about the second haK "I just happened to get the ball on some of the steals and other opportunities. It was a team efFort and I just put the ball in the hole. We had to play smarter basketball. The 3-pointers were not falling, so we had to get to the rim under control and get some layups." "He's kind of a catalyst to our team as far as energy," Hoyt said of Van Der Veur. ''When he is really fiery, the guys follow. They look to him for that. I thought our whole team was sluggish in the first haK So for him to come out with that energy and mindset, you could just see it in his eyes when you speak to him. It definitely got the ball rolling in the right direction." As the Columbia grew its lead, Simpson forced shots and the Jumpers capitalized on its mistakes. Hughes threw down a baseline dunk with 11:30 remaining in the game pushed the Jumpers second half run to 18-5. Simpson went on a late 7-0 run, but Aaron May and Quentin Davis scorch the Jumpers final seven points and Columbia pulled away.

The Bull&ogs have 11 players on their roster but due to injuries, illness and vacations, they played short handed. "I thought our girls played hard early," said BuH&og head coach Jerry Rucker. "They played hard the whole night, but with seven bodies we just started running out of gas. But we nmi to execute better, and if we do that, weal continue to get better."

Spieth in a 3-way tie for lead in Bahamas NASSAU, B a h amas (AP) — Jordan Spieth feels like he's on vacation in the Bahamas. On the golf course, he's all business. Spieth rallied from a rugged start Friday with threestraight birdies,and then a surge on the back nine carried him to a 6-under 66 and a share of the lead with Jimmy Walker and Bill Haas going into the weekend at the Hero World Challenge. He had to work hard just to keep pace on a calm, muggy afternoon is the islands, where the wind wasn't strong enough to blow out a match and it showed in the scoring. Rarely has this holiday event with an 18-man field featured so many players near the lead. For one brief moment on the back nine, there was a seven-way tie for the lead. Walker, wh o b e gan working on a new move
in his swing just over a week ago, drove the ball as well as he has all year on his way to a 67. Haas, who received one of the two sponsor exemptions to the tournament hosted by Tiger Woods, had a 66. They were at 11-under 133.
No. 2 Alabama'sSEC dominance showsno signs of letting up ATLANTA (AP) — Alabama has set the bar high for the rest of the Southeastern Conference. Heading into another appearance in the SEC c hampionship gam e , there's no indication that anyone is close to knocking ofF Nick Saban's behemoth from Tuscaloosa. Certainly not Florida, which will face the No. 2 Crimson Tide on Saturday. Despite a resurgent season under new coach Jim McElwain, the ofFensively challenged Gatorsare a massive 18-point underdog against Alabama (111, No. 2 CFP), which is one victory away from a second straight trip to the College Football Playoff "Not realexcited about playing these creatures, "
McElwainjoked F riday.
In his ninth season as the Tide's coach, Saban has already won three national titles. Discounting a rebuilding season when he tookover a then-floun-
dering program in 2007, his teams have posted an astonishing record (95-12), earned a spot in five SEC championship games, and been a serious player in every national race except one (in 2010, when the Tide "slumped" to 10-3). Not that there seems to be any joy in the ride. Saban was in an especially grumpy mood Friday, barely cracking a smile as he coldly, methodically discussed what it takes to stay on top, year after year after year.

Earlier this offseason, pitcher Johnny Cueto turned down a $120 million ofFer from the Diamondbacks after he helped Kansas City win the World Series and became a free agent.

On Friday night, they did a really big thing. After revealing futuristic uniformsfor 2016 earlier this week, Arizona found a star to wear one.

Big plays: The Cardinal have allowed six TDs of at least40 yards the past three games as they have been susceptible to the breakaway speci of Oregon and Notre Dame. While Stanford should get cornerback Alijah Holder back from injury this week, Ronnie Harris is questionable with a sprained right anlde. That absence could be important against USC's big-play receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Adoree' Jackson. eWe have to limit the explosive plays," Shaw said. "I know USC is watching our last couple of games and getting excited."

Raiders C Hudson suffers setback; 49ers face Bears ALAMEDA (AP) — The Oakland Raiders will likely be without center Rodney Hudson for a second consecutive game due to a lingering right ankle sprain. One day after being limited, Hudson was downgraded and held out of practice Friday. Instead, he worked out with a team trainer on an adjacent field.
If Hudson is held out, he will miss the opportunity to play against the team that drafted him when the Raiders host Kansas City on Sunday. The Chiefs drafted Hudson with the 55th overall pick in 2011 before he signed with Oakland as a &ee agent this past offseason.
