Report: S3 Sheriff tossed missing-person files StateSenatorsays documentskeyin

mass-murderprobe

By WES BOWERS The Lodi Neus-Sentinel

A Sacramento lawmaker is

calling out the San Joaquin County SherifFs Of5ce for allegedly mishandling missing persons records. Attorney Mark Geragos filed a motion in U.S. Federal Court Monday on behalf of California Sen. Cathleen Galgiani, D-Stockton, to allow her access to sealed documents regarding the removal of several missing persons

records in the "Speed Freak Killers" case. D ocuments are t o b e opened April 17, 2015, according to the motion filed in court Monday. By unsealing the documents, Galgiani hopes to learn why some victims' remains have not been recovered in the case. On Monday, Galgiani said she received a letter &om

to find out this is happening," Galgiani said Monday.'When you learn missing persons who have been in a database for25 yearsarebeing deleted, it's time for an investigation." Galgiani said she has copies of email communications between the Sheriff's Oi5ce and the State Attorney General's Of5ce, in which the former agency acknowledges the records were removed from a database. She also claims the Sheriff's Office has denied ever receiving a copy of Shermantine's letter &om her. Local business l eader Frank Gayaldo was a correctional training oi5cer for the SherifFs Office when Shermantine and Wren Herzog — who would come to be known as the Speed Freak Killers — were housed at the county jail. He was acquainted with the pair during their stay, and on Monday was upset the SherifFs OI5ce may have mishandled any information relating to their case. "To know that (the SherifFs Office) attempted to remove evidence from the NCIC in pending missing person cases is beyond repulsive," he said. "I have been a longtime critic of SherifF (Steve) Moore because of his long-standing behavior of not cooperating with law enforcement and failure to follow normal protocol in a number

erative and not forthcoming with informationregarding the case. In that same year, the Hayward Police Department was investigatingthe disappearance of Michaela Garecht, and detectives thought her casemight have been related to the Speed Freak Killers. According to the motion, the

SherifF's Office again failed to cooperatewith investigators. In her statement to the court, Galgiani said s he learned of the deletions last year, and made a public records request to the SheriiFs Of5ce in November pertaining to the missing persons recordsof one of the victims Shermantine identified in theletter.She alsoforwarded that request to the state Department of Justice, she said. As a result, emails &om March of2012 between a DOJ employee and a representative of the SheriiFs Office revealed several cold cases and oldercaseswere deleted &om a federal database. However, the SherifFs Office claimed in those emails that it did not requestthe deletions,according to the motion. Les Garcia, spokesperson for the SherifF said Monday he was unaware of the mo-

tion and could not comment until he had seen more information.

Galgiani's involvement with missing persons Galgiani has long been involved with the Speed Freak Killer case. When she was 17, her cousin 19-year-old Dena McHan disappeared on her way home from Sacramento to Stockton on Dec. 7, 1981. McHan's car was never found, and she was last seen getting gas near Lodi while two men bothered her. While McHan's remains have never been found, and she has never been confirmed as a victim of the duo, Galgiani has maintained there is a connection. As an assemblywoman in 2012, she proposed legislation requiring California taxpayers to pay for t he multi-county search for victims of Shermantine and Loren Herzog, also known as the Speed Freak Killers. Searches were conducted in Calaveras, San Andreas and San Joaquin counties. Later that year, Galgiani also introduced a bill that gave the California Depart-

ment of Corrections and Rehabilitation more freedom in transporting convicted killers to show investigators where victims may be buried. This year, she was named chairwoman of th e Senate Select Committee on Missing and Unidentified Persons, which will provide insight into the various procedures used to identify and recover remains so law en-

forcement is equipped with the latest methods to solve crimes.

The pair is believed to have killed more than 20 people between 1984 and 1999. Shermantine, 48, was sen-

tenced todeath in 2001 for four murders, but maintains he never killed anybody. He has blamed the killings on Herzog, who hanged himself in 2012 while on parole after learning Shermantine began revealing details about the murders. Shermantine remains on Death Row in San Quentin State Prison.

Rep. Tom McClintock introduced an amendment to

HR. 749 to eliminate taxpayer subsidies to Amtrak. The amendment was defeated. The Congressman presented his amendment on the House floor on March

4, 20N: Mr. Chairman: Every year,as Amtrak's operating losses have mounted, Congress has dutifully shoveled more money at it to keep it afloat; every year, its Congressional supporters have promised reforms to bring these losses under control; and every year these promises have fallen flat. This year, we're told, "look at all the new reforms that we're building into this. In five years they'll have their act together." Well, how many times have we heard this promise? Let me cite just a few. Back in 1997, facing mounting criticism, The Amtrak Reform and Accountability Act required Amtrak to operate without any federal operatingassistance after 2002! When that didn't happen, in 2008 Pete Sessions attempted to eliminate only its most expensive route from reauthorization. That year, Jim Oberstar called any reduction in subsidies a "preemptive strike" and promised that the bill was chalk full of reforms that would soon solve Amtrak's problems. Well, when that didn't happen, in 2014, Paul Broun proposed eliminating subsidies just as my amendment does. At the time, Tom Latham said "I concede that Amtrak could be more efficient. However, it has made significant improvements in this area recently; it is moving in the right direction." "Moving in the right direction." This year, taxpayers will subsidize Amtrak in the amount of about $1.4 billion. The bill before us authorizes $1.4 billion for next year. Put another way, we will shell out $45 every time a passenger steps aboard an Amtrak train. That's $45 per passenger per trip in direct losses billed to taxpayers. That's up from $32ofloss perpassenger six years ago. Despite endless promises, things are not getting better. Amtrak's apologists claim this is a 40 percent reduction in authorized funding. In fact, Amtrak received $1.4 billion in 2015 — the same as this bill authorizes in 2016. Outside experts have reported that over the next ten years, subsidizing Amtrak will cost taxpayers $49 billion. Let me put that in family sized numbers: the average American family will have to cough up $392 from its taxes over the next ten years, just to cover Amtrak's losses. W hat does that $392 out ofa fam ily'staxes pay for? Well, among other things, Amtrak's food and beverage employeeswho are paid an average of$106,000 a yearto provide a service that lostover$800 million over the past decade — just selling snacks on Amtrak trains. Are we at least seeing any improvements in service? Not hardly. Amtrak's monthly on-time performance has significantly declined. Bigger losses. Declining service. That is not "Moving in the right direction." That was a false promise then, just like all the other false promises we've heard since 1971. In last year's appropriations debate, Amtrak apologists warned that cutting off the subsidies wouldquote — "eliminate an entire transportation option." It does no such thing. Amtrak claims that it's running a profit on the heavily-travelled Northeast corridor; nothing in my amendment would change this. Anything Amtrak makes on these profitable routes, Amtrak keeps. With this amendment, Amtrak would be perfectly free to continue to operate and expand its Northeast Corridor from its own profits and to subsidize its other money-losing operations to the extent that its profits would cover them. However, this amendment would end the practice of forcing American taxpayers to underride another five years ofbroken promises.

YOUR VIEWS New pool will benefit the whole community To The Editor: While the current Sonora High pool may be able to support swimnnng and swim lessons, it falls short of being up to par with any other pool. As a former swimmer and water polo player, I have seen the tiles fall ofF the side of pool, as well as stood in puddles of water in the locker room due to an outdated drainage system. The size of the pool is not big enough to support a full swim team and causes both sports to have to run practices late into the night, and the problem of late practices is not fixed at Sonora Sport and Fitness Center due to conflicting schedules. If the degrading poolwere tobe repaired,itwould only be slightly less expensive and it would just be a temporary fix to numerous problems. Practicing and playing water polo games at SSFC comes with a price and that price combined with the repairs the current

pool needs makes building a new pool the best option. Further, it seems unlikely that this small group could amass enough votes to elect whoever they wanted to the SHS board just to get their way, without gaining some support from community members with no opinion on water polo. Currently, the only people who are halting the bettering of classrooms right now are the CASBA members who filed a lawsuit stopping the progression of the bond projects, not the people supporting the bond. If this group were to drop the lawsuit, money would be saved instead of being wasted on lawyers and other legal fees. This money would then be used to accomplish the originally voted upon goal of improving both athletic and educational facilities at Sonora High that would benefit both the students and the community

sitting have been shown to increase desirability of a town — and add to its sense of community. People are drawn to these places to spend time — and money. We need a vital local economy that will support our young families staying in the area — and thriving. Tourist money does this, and so do small industries, like tech and manufacturing. To attract small industry with long term interest in our community, we need both an attractive place to live and affordable employees ready to work. All this is to say, is, this is a lovely and unique place to live that needs some revitalization to thrive. Change is always uncomfortable and Vision Sonora needs modification, but offer input and insight, not the axe,and maybe we can build something that we can all be proud of. Stefani Reiehle Jamestown

Don't the lives of black police officers matter? To the Editor: So where was Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson when two black Police Officers were gunned down, last week? Where was Eric Holder, or the president? Or the people chanting "Black Lives Matter" ...oh...unless you're a Law Enforcement Officer? Thanks to the lies and hypocrisy of our current government, the thin blue line just got thinner. Officers Terry Green and Robert Wilson were protecting and serving the people of their own community, their own black communities, when they were ambushed. Our current political climate is obviously anti law enforcement. That's fine. I hope you call 911 and have a long wait before your dentist shows up. Diane Serrano Soulsbyville

tershortageswith more and bigger forest fires. We can build storage but can't create new water! Besides, we have no rights to "new"water.It's already claimed. Cox compares population growth relative to water storage growth but avoids the politically uncomfortable logical conclusion that population growth is outrunning natural resources. Meanwhile, conservatives undermine population control efforts. He enthuses over energy efficiencies saving, but conservatives fight the state environmental programs and research tax dollars that make those gains possible. Conservatives hold Congressional hearings denigrating energy efficient technologies from light bulbs to solar. Cox isdesperate for water. No small government now, conservatives want "big

government" dams, while sidestepping state research, and conservation planning for their "easy answers." Cox and McClintock's answers would risk any living thing in their way. It isn't just fish at risk of extinction but half the species on the planet by the end of the century. What we've been doing is unsustainable and Cox recommends we do more of it.

Where is Oak View Estates going to get its water? To the Editor: Re: March 3 letter from Diane Matarano.

Wow! This woman gets what's happening! If there isn't any water — where do the new residents of the proposed Oak View Estates subdivision get theirs? Perhaps out of the two fishinglakes at Willow Springs Ranch! Granted, the building permits for the proposed development will be substantial for the county however, the one who is in charge of our water supply surely can't be bribed by the money!

Lake Tu))ochA)liance's Vision Sonoraembraces our research lacking historical qualities, appeal To the Editor: To the Editor: Thank you Jim Hildreth for your optimistic views on Vision Sonora. I participated in some of the planning meetings, and was impressed with the consulting firm staff that took vague and sometimes disparate ideas, and wove them into a co-

herent plan. I, too, know and like Elena Linehan and was surprised at her outright condemnation of this venture. It is not trying to turn us into a San Jose or Los Gatos as Peter Hadell suggested (please), or to copy Manteca or Merced (shudder). Jim's comparison to Murphys and Sutter Creek is more accurate. We have a Gold Rush town rich in history, art, natural beauty, and tradition. Rather than obliterate these qualities, Vision is an interactive process meant to enhance and

Jack Cox (March 5) faced with environmental limitations threw an anti-environmentalist tantrum blaming others. His hero, Congressman McClintockhas lied to the public for years about global warming. McClintock can't provide a single earth science institution of national standing to support his positions, which are so immoral as to risk the lives of millions people. Western snowpacks representing 25 percentof California's water supply are in decline. They're declining because of warming caused by humans burning carbon-based fuels. For 30 years science has warned of exactly what is happening. We have ignored the science because conservatives and the carbon industry that profits while freely polluting our atmosphere have prevented science-based government policies from emerging, largely through disinformation campaigns. Warming is driving normal weather patterns to extremes. The West is having more frequent longer droughts, thus wa-

SACRAMENTO (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday outlined a plan for California to end nearly a decade of federal control over its prison health care system. U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson of San Francisco acted after acourt-appointed overseer reported that conditions have substantially improved since Henderson appointed a receiver to run the medical system in 2006. Each of the state's 34 prisons must pass an inspection before they can be returned to state control, Henderson said. The inspections are underway and are expected to take more than a year. The state has spent$2 billion for new prison medical facilities, doubled its annual prison health care budget to nearly $1.7 billion and reduced its prison population by more than 40,000 inmates in

they violated inmates' constitutional rights against cruel and unusual punishment. However, some prisons lag far behind others and more work still needs to be done system-wide, receiver J. Clark Kelso reported. The transition back to state control hinges on medical inspections of those prisons by the inspector general of the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Prisons that pass muster could be returnedtostate control,Henderson said. If conditions at a prison decline, the receiver could retake control, but Hendersonsaid the receiver is expected to eventually take on "more of a monitoring function." If thestate keeps control of all the

"I think the expectation is that quite a few of them will be found to be providing adequate care and then we'll begin delegating back to the state authority for those institutions." That will allow his office to concentrate on bringing the poorly performing prisons up to standard, he said. Henderson found in 2005 that conditions were so poor that an average of an inmate each week was dying of medical m alpractice orneglect. 'The number of definitely or likely preventable deaths has decreased dramatically under the Receivership," he wrote in his seven-page order.

The U.S. Forest Service will host a series of open houses this month to gain feedback on a draft proposal for managing snowmobiles on forest land.

Conti nued from Page Al islaus, Eldorado, Tahoe, Plumas and Lassen national forests.

Some locals are mad Mother Lode snowmobilers, who roundly criticized Forest Service scrutiny of oversnow vehicles in the Stanislaus last year, are poised to make themselves heard againthough there's little snow to speak of as one of the Central Sierra's warmest winters on record comes to a close. "People need to keep the Forest Service in line," said Rourke Hembree, whose work includes repairing snowmobiles and grooming snowmobile trails with a snowcat when there's demand. He's been snowmobiling since 1986 and he runs his business in Sierra Village. "The forest user, whether he's a snowmobiler, a m otorcyclerider,a loggerora hunter, this is a stepping stone for them to try to change how the Stanislaus is going to be used in the future and how people will be able to make a living in the forest," Hembree SBld.

"The way things are going as far as closures go, they're limiting the acres that can be grazed by ranchers now," Hembree said. "And look at the logging. That's what all the people used to do in this county, work for lumber mills and the logger companies. The bottom line is this is just another approach the Forest Service is using on us, the recreational users." Hembree saidhe attended a November open house in Sonora related to snowmobile use. He estimated 35 snowmobilers attended. They outnumbered skiers at the same event by more than six-to-one, Hembree said.

Draft proposal expeded by today The draft proposal for the Forest Service Over-Snow Vehicle Use Designation project was not complete oravailableforreview asof Thursday. It will be ready in time for the first open house today at the forest's Sonora headquarters, Warren said.

Wildlands Alliance and the Center for Biological Diversity claim snowmobiles "emit substantial amounts of air pollution, impact water quality, create high levels of noise, harm vegetation, and adversely impact wildlife."

Holly Mines, one of the plaintiffs, objected to being called a bully, noting she has volunteered most of her life. She added that the ACLU defends all individual rights and does not have a religious agenda. Almost all of the commenters agreed, however, with the intent of the resolution: to honor the nonprofit's work. Sissy Hedrick, executive director of Door of Hope, who said she had been tempted to fight the lawsuit, ultimately recommended the board Tuesday drop the resolution and save themselves from litigation. "Jesus told us to help our neighbors, and that's something we strive to do every day ... but we do not wish to be the reason of a lawsuit," she said. All the county supervisors — except Chris Wright, who consistently voted against the controversial resolution — said itwasa hard decision, but ultimately voted to rescind the resolution entirely. ACLU lawyer Novella Coleman said after the meeting, "This is what we asked from them initially, and we're glad they decided to do the right thing. I think it reaffirms that

Warren urged people who care about snowmobile use in the forest to consider the following questions: • Has the Forest Service missed any major areas orroutes that historically have been used by snowmobiles? • If so, where and how are they being used? • Is the draftproposed action clearly stated and mapped? If not, how can it be improved? Accordingto the 2013 settlement, draft NEPA analyses for snowmobile use are due May 30, 2015, and the Forest Service "will use its best efforts" to issue final NEPA analyses no later than Nov. 30, 2015.

use has increased and the machines have become more powerful, allowing them to intrude even farther into the backcountry and intoareas they could notpreviously access," their initial complaint states. The Forest Service agreed to a settlement with the plaintiffs in August 2013 that requires NEPA analyses of snowmobile trails and plowing of related parking lots and trailheads. The agreement also states the Forest Service will "consider a range of alternative actions that would result in varying levels of snowmobile use."

She said the fate of Tulloch is still unknown, likely to be determined by the end of March from precipitation and the decisions of regulatory agencies like the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and State Water Resources Control Board. Calaveras County Water District General Manager Dave Eggerton said Tulloch is the sole water supply for most Copperopolis-area residents, and his district will likely have to build costly extensions to its water pumps to reachthe lower water level.

New cafe at Fuel Depot On Feb. 2, Coyote Junction Cafe and Grill opened in the Fuel Depot on MonoWay near The Junction shopping center. The owners are Doug and Diana "Susie" Vanderberg, of Tuolumne. Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the restaurant serves lunch and dinner. A grand opening will be held from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, and will include live music and food specials. The menu includes California cuisine such as smoked tri-tip, wraps, salads and sandwiches. The phone number is 588-8816. Doug Vanderberg owned Coyote Creek restaurant in Sonora about 20 years ago.

Town Hall lunch set Thursday The Tuolumne County Chamber of Commerce will host a Town Hall Luncheon, sponsored by The Junction shopping center, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday at The Peppery in Sonora. Guest speaker Larry Cope of the Tuolumne County Economic Development Authority will talk about the county's Innovation Lab. The cost is $25 for chamber members and $30 for non-members.

Here's one of my retirement fantasies: Sell the house and put just a few things in storage. Explore this country, and then spend a month in Provence and a month in Tuscany. After a year of traveling, come back, settle down in a condo and savor the memories. Adventurous retirees are setting up housekeeping fulltime or part-time all over the world. To get an idea of how many, note that the Social Security Administration sends nearly 375,000 benefi t pay-

The charity of choice is the local "Shop with a Cop," a program in which local law enforcement officers accompany a child in need on a Christmas shopping trip. '%'e were just trying to figure out how to get more people downtown," Mason said. Mello said he used to own a restaurant and bar in Grass Valley and organized a popular pub crawl there. There's one in Turlock that draws about 500 people, and others in the Bay Area see up to 1,500 people, Mello said. ''We'd like to keep doing things like this — anything to spark downtown. We're trying to create some downtown excitement," Mello said. The crawl is St. Patrick's Daythemed, and participating busi-

Costa Rica, Ecuador and Malaysia are among the many countries where you can live the good life on $25,000 a year while enjoying great natural resources and a rich culture, according to "The International Living Guide to Retiring Overseas on a Budget," by Suzan Haskins and Dan Prescher (internationalliving. com). Another boon to the expat: the Internet. Lynne and Tim Martin have been on an openended journey for four years. They bank and pay bills online, use PayPal to pay for home rentals and have their Social Security checks deposited to their U.S. account. They go online to research destinations and book travel, and theyget face time (ifnot hug time) with their grandchildren via Skype. Like mostretirees, state-

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

Wife's affair has husband tempted to stray DEAR ANME: My wife and I are in our early 40s and have been married for six years. Two years aRer we married, I discovered that "Becky" was having an a6'air with a co-worker. They both lost their jobs over it. We tried marriage counseling, and it seemed to help. From what I could get out of Becky, they were intimate only once. But I've never felt that the whole truth came out. It was the Other Man's girlfTiend, "Jenny," who discovered the affair. I recently decidedto contactJennyto seewhether she could supply the missing pieces. We agreed to meet over coffee, and I found out that she and the Other Man broke up.Jenny informed me that, contrary to what Becky told me, the affair lasted another 18 months afier we discovered what was going on. But, Annie, here's the new problem: After meeting several times, Jenny andIhave developed feelings for each other and find ourselves in

Annie's

) Mailbox a situation similar to that of my wife and her ex-boyfriend. I know t ha t

t w o w r ongs don't

make a right. I also believe that a marriage can be saved aRer an affair. But Becky's lies are always in the backofmy head, and now Idon't know what to do. — NEED HELP IN JERSEY D EAR J ERSEY: You h a v e found a kindred spirit in Jenny because you have been through a shared exIIerience.You also still harbor resentment toward Becky, and whether or not you recognize it, this is a convenient way to get even. Do you want to save your marriage? If so, stop seeing Jenny, get back into counseling with Becky, tell her

you know the affair was more serious than she admitted, and ask her to come clean so you can truly work through this. If she refuses,or if you are stil l convinced she is lying, you might be better off apart. But don't use Jenny as an excuse to get there. DEAR ANNIE: Could you influence my college-educated husband to stop licking his fingers when he counts his money? He refuses to acknowledge how disgusting this is. My stomach turns when he opens his wallet and I hear him lick his thumb and forefinger to get bills out. I also have seen the disgusted look on the cashier's face when she accepts his '%ckedu money. Would you please tell him how unhealthy this is? — DISGUSTED WIFE DEAR WIFE: In a study last year, researchers at New York University tested dollar bills and found 3,000 different kinds of bacteria,some of which can

cause gastric ulcers, pneumonia, food poisoning, staph infections and acne.They also found fungi and plant pathogens, DNA kom horses anII dogs, and minute traces ofanthrax and diphtheria. Lots of people have already touched the money your husband licks. He is putting all of their bacteria, not to mention his own and whatever is brewing in his wallet, into his mouth. As an added incentive, you might tell him you don't intend to kiss that mouth until he brushes his teeth anII gargles with an antiseptic mouthwash. Yuck. A nnie'8 Mailbox i s

Effects of obesity are not beyond one's control DEAR DR. ROACH: Does obesity have an inevitable result, as in the case of ALS and dementia, or is it a condition that an individual can improve or actually fully control? Are obeseindividuals predisposed toobesity, and therefore really unable to control their weight? — C.O. ANSWER: Obesity is defined as having abody mass index — a measure of weight (in kilograms) over height (in meters) squared — of greater than 30. This is an imperfect measurement, since there are very muscularpeople ortruly "big-boned" people whose BMI is high but who have verylittle body fat.Wa ist size is agood measurement of body fat, and the combination of waist size and BMI provides more information about risk of chronic diseases with obesity. The list of diseases caused or worsened by obesity is long, but especially includes diabetes and os-

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. If you mean to ask whether obesity inevitably leads to heart disease, diabetesorarthritis,forexample, the answer is no. It increases risk of these conditions, but the risk can be man-

aged with a good diet and with exercise. This is important, because the diet and exercise themselves make you healthier. It's not just a means to reducing weight; losing weight can be healthy, but just having a healthy diet and exercise will reduce risk of heart disease and diabetes, even if you don't lose weight. How well people are able to control obesity is a diificult question, but it t eoarthritis. Heart disease risk i s is certainly not the case that losing increased by obesity, partly through weight is easy or simply a matter blood pressureand cholesterol ef- of willpower. There are many forces fects. that act on eating behaviors, and at-

tributingobesity to mere poor selfcontrol is a disservice. Medications and many medical conditions are the cause of obesity in some people. The bacteria that live in our gut have some impact on obesity. The people irt our social network have an impact. W hat is clear is thatthere are effective treatments. Dietary considerations, exercise and psychosocial interventions all can be effective in helping people lose weight, but the treatment needs to be individualized. Weight management is becoming its own specialty in medicine. DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently, if I stay in bed for a while, my legs below the knee get numb and my toes get a tingling sensation. During the day, when I am walking, the sensation is gone. What could be the problem (and recommendation)? — D.B. ANSWElt The sensation of numbness and tingling comes from damage to nerves, although many people I see are concerned about circulation issues. The list of possible causes is immense, but the fact that it happens

Today is Wednesday, March 11, the 70th day of 2015. There are 295 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On March 11, 1865, during the Civil War, Union forces under General William T. Sherman occupied Fayetteville, North Carolina. On this date: in 1888, the Blizzard of '88, also known as the "Great White Hurricane," began inundating the northeastern United States, resulting in some 400 deaths. in 1942, as Japanese forces continued to advance in the Pacific during World War ii, Gen. Douglas MacArthur left the Philippines for Australia. (MacArthur, who subsequently vowed, "I shall return," kept that promise more than 2/2 years later.) in 1955, Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, died in London at age 73. in 1977, more than 130 hostages held in Washington D.C. by Hanafi Muslims were freed after ambassadors from three Islamic nations joined the negotiations. in 2004, ten bombs exploded in quick succession across the commuter rail network in Madrid, Spain, killing 191 people in an attack linked to al-Qaidainspired militants. in 2011, a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami struck Japan's northeastern coast, killing nearly 20,000 people and severely damaging the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power station. in 2012, sixteen Afghan villagers — mostly women and children - were shot dead as they slept by U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, who later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

HORO SCOPE Birthday for March 12. To realize a dream this year, dedicate yourself and get others involved. Teamwork is your golden key. The Vernal Equinox in your sign (3/20) illuminates your charisma and personal power. Plan and setup structures over springtime, for summer launch. Autumn eclipses (10/13 & 10/27) inspire transformation in a partnership leading to a profitable boom. Share love. To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is an 8 — Your exploration could get intense. Complete a long-term project. Own the rules to win by them. Associates supply bright ideas. Learn through experience. Postpone a financial discussion or risky business. You get what you have coming. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is an 8 — You know more than you thought. Keep your objective in mind. Delegate what you can. Don't fall for financial sleight-ofhand. Do the groundwork. You're gaining experience. Meet with important people and make agreements. Gemini (May 214une 20): Today is a 7 — Resolve an issue with a partner. Focus on practical shared commitments, and determine who can do what. Handle immediate priorities. Pay expenses, and account for every penny. Productivity close to home serves you well. Clear clutter and organize. Cancer (June 21 July 22): Today is an 8 — There's plenty of business. Can you satisfy everyone? Don't max out your credit cards. Fulfill an assignment. Stick to your high standards. Eliminate or postpone frills. Stick to your guns. Conserve resources. More study and practice are required. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 7 — Relish the moment! The game's getting fun now. Watch the tab or it could get expensive. Discipline is the key to your success. Work out the kinks in private. Choose practical over nebulous options.

while in bed and not while active suggests that the position you are in is causing compression of the nerve(s). For it to happen on both sides, it needs to be simultaneously affecting two nerves (which would be unlikely for compression) or at the level of the spinal cord or higher. I can simply tell you to walk more and avoid bed positions that seem to worsen the symptoms; however, I have seen a few people with significant neurological conditions (such as vitamin B-12 deficiency) with symptoms like these, so I think a visit to your doctoror a neurologist for a careful exam is prudent. Dr. Roach regrets that he is un-

Todayin history

Virgo(Aug. 23$ept. 22):Today isan 8 — Handle an issue with your infrastructure at home. Make repairs or upgrade equipment. Consider your family's comfort. Get creative with solutions, and test before loading up. Finish the job you begin. Get help if needed. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today is a 9 — Discuss practical objectives and make action plans. Others are thinking up more work for you. It's not a good time for financial or romantic risks. Your words inspire ... write them down. Show the team your appreciation. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today is a 9 — Enjoy the glamour of the moment while choosing workability. Money flows today and tomorrow. Don't get seduced by expensive fantasies. Set a budget and take charge of the action. Be patient with an impractical relative. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 9 — Make the personal changes you desire. Are you being true to yourself? Notice if you feel right at home. Find a solution in your own backyard. Consider the pragmatic aspects of the deal. Disciplined efforts win. Capricorn (Dec. 224an. 19): Today is a 6 — Take it easy. Take on manageable, practical goals. Rely on your partner's strength. Revise your plans, if necessary. Don't agree to more than you can handle. Recharge batteries. Put the oxygen mask on yourself first. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 7 — Collaborate and network today and tomorrow. It could get chaotic or hectic. Stick to the rules. Think before reacting in temporary confusion. Keep negative comments to yourself. Your discipline is admirable. Check with family before taking action. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is an 8 — Devise a plan. Take charge today and tomorrow. A dream could seem far away. Obstacles lie in the way. Take one practical step at a time. Stick to high standards. Love is strong. Figure it out.

Are pre-emptsthe answer? By PHILLIP ALDER

03-11-15 North 4 J95 3 T J5 1 AJ 8 7 4 3 2

Antony Beevor, an English historian and auWest East thor, said, "I believe passionately in pre-emptive pessimism, especially before a book comes out. I expect the worst both from reviewers and sales, and then, with any luck, I may be proved wrong." Bridge players these days have pre-emptive South optimism. Every chance they get, they open with a pre-empt. But sometimes that tactic backfires. Today's deal occurred during a small duplicate. At several tables, North opened three diamonds 4 AK J 87 in the second position, despite the four-card spade suit. This was always passed out. East Dealer: West typically led a heart, and the defenders took two Vulnerable: North-South hearts, two diamonds and one or two spades. S outh We s t No rt h Eas t When North passed, the auction went as given. P ass Ppa s s p North was not sure what to do over West's twoAii Pass heartresponse,buthe knew his hand had great potential for play in spades. East wondered about bidding five hearts, but remembered that his partner was a passed hand.(Five hearts could have been defeated by four tricks, North-South taking one spade, one diamond,one diamond ruff ,tw o clubsand one club ruff.) if West had led a heart, the defenders could have forced declarer to guess trumps. But a club lead was normal. South immediately discarded both of dummy's heart losers, ruffed a heart in the dummy, and ran the spade nine, the percentage play for one loser. When that pulled out the ace, the spade suit split 2-2, and diamonds were 3-2, declarer brought home 12 tricks for a top. in the second seat, you should have a textbook hand for a pre-empt because you are already past one opponent and are more likely than usual to be making life tough for your partner.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

Why not skip the U.S. travel and try something more exotic? Why one year and not two? But a series of questions posed by Haskins and Prescher give me pause. Among t h e m: Can you learn to speak a new language? (Not easily.) Are you okay with adventure? (Only in small doses.) "Know thyself' is the mantra in both of the books, and I know that adapting to change is not my strong suit. So, maybe Ill stick with my original idea or come up with something completely different.

The Associated Press

The three big credit reporting agencies are making changes that could help steer some consumers clear of the credit dog house. Data collected by the agencies Equifax, Experian and TransUnion on hundreds of millions of people are used to createcredit scores.Those scores can determine who gets a loan and how much interest is paid on it. T he m ov e

months of negotiations between the companies and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, one of severalstateattorneys general who have placed the credit reporting industry under increased scrutiny. Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood sued Experian last June, claiming the firm has knowingly included errorriddled datainconsumer credit files. In Ohio, Attorney General Mike DeWine is leading more than 30 states in an investigation into the credit firms. That suggests more changes by the industry could be coming. So how will these latest changes affect you? Q: W h at's c h anging here?: The credit bureaus have agreed to m ak e s everal changes. Two of them have the potential to afFect consumers the most: changes to how people go about disputing errors in their credit files and in the type of credit data that will appear in their files.

Q: Will it be easier to dispute errors in my credit report? A: In theory. Let's sayyou've made a timely payment on your credit card but it mistakenly shows up in your credit file as a late payment, potentially weighing down your credit score. Right now, consumers who want to fix that error can file a dispute with the creditreporting agencies, but it falls on the consumer to get the mistake fixed with their credit card company. In addition, the credit agencies basically defer to the creditor. To address this, the firms have agreedto hire employees tasked with reviewing consumer credit disputes independently and not merely rubber-stampingwhat credit card issuers and lenders say. Q: What are the changes to medical debt? A: In a bid to increase accuracy, medical debts won't be reporteduntilaftera 180-day waiting period to allow time for insurance payments to be applied. The agencies agreed to removefrom creditreports previously reported medical collect ions that have been or are being paid by insurance companies. Medical debts often arise from insurance coverage delays ordisputes.Over half of all collection items on credit reportsare medicaldebts and those debts may not accurately refiect consumers' creditworthiness, according to a statement from Schneiderman. Q: Who will monitor the changes? A: A working group will be formed under the agreement

to regularl y review consistency andto ensure thatcollected data isapplied to consumers uniformly. Q: When will the changes take place? A: The changes will start to be implemented over the next several months. Discussions with other attorneys general are ongoing and there remains the possibility for more agreements ahead. Q: Am I eligible for more than one free credit report a year? A: Yes. Right now, consumers are entitled to get one freecreditreporta year from each creditreporting agency. The Attorney General's agreement requires that the firms provide a second free report to consumers who experience

a change in their report afier they dispute something in their file. This will let consumersverif y thatthe creditagenciescorrected the error.Toget a free report, visit AnnualCreditReport. com.

ALAMEDA (AP) — The Oakland Raiders opened &ee agency by agreeing to contracts on Tuesday with former Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith, blocking tight end Lee Smith and running back Roy Helu. A person with knowledge of the deal said the team is finalizing the deal with Malcolm Smith on Tuesday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal with the former Seattle linebacker has not been signed. A second person, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said Lee Smith has agreed to a $9.1 million, three-year contract to leave Buffalo for Oakland. A third person, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said Helu agreed to a two-year deal worth a little more than $4 million. Those deals were first reported by ESPN. The Raiders also have reportedly signed former Kansas City center Rodney Hudson to a fiveyear contract that CBS Sports said is worth $44.5 million as general man-

ager ReggieMcKenzie starts using more than $60 million in salarycap room toupgrade a three-win team. While the R aiders went into the offseason

with hopes of signing some of the top playmakerslikeNdamukong Suh and Randall Cobb, they startei &ee agency by signing some lowertierplayers. Malcolm Smith, who has played mostly outside linebacker in his four years with Seattle, could fill a void at middle linebacker for Oakland that was created when

Nick Roach had a season-ending concussion in an exhibition game last summer. Roach was released lastweek.Miles Burris struggled in his place. Smith won the Super Bowl MVP in 2014 when he returned an interception for a touchdown, recovered a fumble and had nine tackles in Seattle's 43-8 win over Denver. S mith st arted o nl y f i v e

games and played less than one-third of th e defensive snaps for the Seahawks this past season and was deemed expendable. But Raiders de-

fensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. was Smith's position coach in Seattle and gave a positive report for Oakland to sign him. Lee Smith had 20 catches in four seasons with BufFalo but is considereda strong blocking tight end to complement Mychal Rivera in Oakland. Helu ran for 216 yards on 40 carries forW ashington last season and is an excellent receiver out of the backfield. He caught 42 passes for 477 yards and will give versatility to Oakland's backfield alongside Latavius Murray. Hudson was rated by Pro Football Focus as the third best center in the NFL and should upgrade a running game that was last in the league in rushing in 2014. The move to sign Hudson means the Raiders will cut ties with incumbent center Stefen Wisniewski, who is also an unrestricted &ee agent. Wis-

new coach Jack Del Rio chose to go in a different direction. Hudson was picked seven picks after Wisniewski in the 2011 draft at 55th overall. After playing mostly as a reserve as a rookie and being limited to three games his second year by a broken right leg, Hudson emerged as one of the top centersin the league the pasttwo seasons.He started 31 of 32 games and helped lead one of the NFL's best rushing attacks. This is expected to be abusy offseason for the Raiders, who are coming off a

possibly another tight end.

Colts sign veterans Trent Cole, FrankGore INDIANAPOLIS (AP)The Colts are betting big on experience. On Tuesday, they fortified one of the NFL's younger rosters with three longtime NFL veterans — outside linebacker Trent Cole, running back Frank Gore and defensive end KendallLangford — in a &ee-agent spending spree

t h r ee-win that may not b e over. In-

season that cost coach Dennis Allen his job four games into the campaign. Oakland chose to hire Del Rio instead of retaining interim coach Tony Sparano and is hoping to build on a foundation featuring lastyear's top two draft picks: linebacker Khalil Mack and quarterback Derek Carr. Oakland still would like to niewski was a second-round find a play-making receiver pick in 2011 when late owner to help Carr's development, Al Davis still ran the team. a rightguard to fi llthe spot He was a solid player in vacated when Austin Howard fouryears,starting 61 of the was moved to tackle, a pass 64 games,but McKenzie and rusher, secondary help and

Cole, Gore and Langford are joining a team that has made three straight playoff appearances, won back-toback division crowns and advanced one step deeper in the playoffs in each of Andrew Luck's three seasons.

In January, the Colts reached the AFC championship game beforelosing 45-7 to eventual Super Bowl champion New England.

Then they ran away. That,ofcourse,does notat all diminish Willis' earned place in this &anchise's history — hisretirement at 30 is a surprise, but Willis ended his career with the same grace and sincerity that marked the beginning of it.

That was hardly the way to honor Willis, who never hid or ran during his 49ers careeron the field or off York and Baalke avoided reporters, a spokesman claimed, because they wanted the day to be about Willis. But it's also obvious that they didn't want to face questions about signing oftarrested Jerome Simpson, possibly trying to sign troubled defensive end Greg Hardy or dealing with fullback Bruce Miller's spousal battery arrest. York and Baalke ran away because they couldn't meet Willis' standard of clarity, honesty and sincerity. Not now or, apparently, ever. My question: Do York's words mean anything? If they

do, York should and must say something or do something, and it can't be vague, evasive or cryptic. York should be the leader he thinks he is. He should be the executive his fans hope he is. I don't know if he is those things, however, because he has ducked down and bypassed many other moments. He had another big one on Tuesday. And he punted again. York should say that the 49ers won'ttolerate domestic violence by any employees, players included, then he should follow that up with action. York should put Miller on paid suspension while the investigation is ongoing, which is what the 49ers didn't do with Ray McDonald last fall. York should declare that Hardy — who has a serious domestic violence issue in his recentpast — willnot be offereda contractby the 49ers. Be clear. Be decisive. Be out in front. York has made big bold statements about "winning with class" and about messages he wishes he sent earlier, at previous moments, with other

players who were under investigation or who had crossed the line. But he also let Baalke run all personnel decisions in the recent past, and Baalke has a provenand calculated fond-

ness for collecting troubled players. That's Baalke's track record. That's the kind of GM he is, that's the kind of roster the 49ers have had — most arrests,

The 49ers played him, no charges were filed, then the 49ers released McDonald when he was a suspect in a most controversies, most prob- sexual assault investigation, lems, a lot of talented players. though no charges have yet It's a trade-off that Baalke is been filed in that case, either. happy to make.

BRIEFS Secretariat jockey Turcotte in crash (AP) — A spokesman for Hall of Famer Ron Turcotte says the jockey who won the Triple Crown aboard Secretariat has two broken legs but is "resting comfortably" in a hospital after the van he was driving hit a snowbank and fl ipped near his home in Grand Falls, New Brunswick. Leonard Lusky s a id Tuesday night that t he 73-year-old Turcotte "is in good spirits and still has his sense of humor." He added that Turcotte and his family "appreciate the well wishes and concern of fans

and the Thoroughbred racing community." Turcotte has been paralyzed &om the waist down after a racing spill in 1978. A family &iend was a passenger and sustained minor injuries, Lusky said. The single car accident occurred on the Trans-Canada Highway, police said. Royal CanadianMounted Police Const. Yannick Pelletier said the accident occuried about 9:45 a.m. and the snow-covered roads were slippery at the time and the accident is under investigation.

Combative 3ones regretful over Super Bowl seating mishap DALLAS (AP) — Called into a courbmm to testify, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sparred Tuesday with an attorney for fans suing the NFL over a seating mess at the 2011 Super Bowlin his billion-dollar showplace stadium while acknowl~ing regret that some ticketholders didn't have seats. Jones spent about 2 V2 hours on the stand Tuesday, the highlight of a federal trial made a little more dramatic by several terse exchanges between the talkative owner and plaintifFs' attorney MichaelAvenatti. U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn had to intervene at one point, telling both men to quit talking over

each other and later admonishing Jones by telling him to simply answer the attorney's questions and "don't figure out what he's implying." About 1,250 temporary seats were deemed unsafe hours before the game in which Green Bay beat Pittsburgh, forcing about 850 ticket holders to move to new seats and 400 others to standing-room locations. Seven fans sued, saying they didn'thave seats or their seats had obstructed views. The lawsuit alleges the NFL breached its ticket contract and that settlement offers failed to fully compensate them. The NFL has said it fully compensated displaced fans. Commissioner Roger Goodell, who providcd videotaped testimony last week, said the league was responsibl efortheissues.

NFL Continued from PageC1 Foles is the latest starter to depart Philadelphia. He joins two-time All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy, now in Buffalo, and Pro Bowl wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, headed for Kansas City, in going elsewhere. Philadelphia also added Seahawks starting cornerback Byron Maxwell as a free agent with a six-year deal. And Seattle brought in cornerback Cary Williams, formerly of the Eagles and a 2012 Super Bowl winner with the Ravens. Baltimore dealt nose tackle Haloti Ngata to Detroit, which is about to lose All-Pro defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh in &ee agency. Ngata, 31

Jacksonville, with lots of salary cap room, grabbed tight end J ulius Thomas away from Denver among a slew of moves. The Jaguars agreed to deals with defensive end Jared Odrick, right tackle Jermey Parnell, cornerback Davon House, linebacker Dan Skuta and safety Sergio Brown. Thomas agreed on a five-

year deal worth $46 million, with $24 million guaranteed. Arizona got probably the bestrun blocker in thisyear's group, guard Mike Iupati, who agreed on a five-year, $40 million contract with $22.5 million guaranteed. The 6-foot-5, 331-pound lineman played five seasons with San Francisco, is a three-time Pro Bowl player and made

the All-Pro team in 2012. Arizona also re-signed linebacker LaMarr Woodley.

WILLIS Continued from PageCl with inspirational pep talks. Willis isn't saying exactly what's next — perhaps a vacation, some speaking gigs, working with kids, a day of fishing, slow mornings with a cup of coffee instead of an intense workout. "I have no regrets. I've had the most amazmg eight years of football of my life. I am so humbled to have had this opportunity. I've been so humbled to have played this game." Willis and &iend NaVorro Bowman had made up one of the best 1-2li nebacker punches in the NFL until both missed time last season, the entire season for Bowman as he recovered from reconstruc-

tive knee surgery. Now, Willis walks away without a Super Bowl ring that was so close following the 2012 season, when the

49erslostby three points to the Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans. "I'm saying to myself, Man, I'd love nothing more than to win a Super Bowl, I would love nothing more than to bring No. 6 back here,' " Willis said. "I would love nothing more than to be able to lace up them cleats and not worry, 'Are my feet going to be all right today just to practice so I don't look old at 30?' " Willis was sidelined with a strained muscle in his left big toe. He was placed on seasonending injured reserve on Nov. 11 after getting hurt in the third quarter at St. Louis on Oct. 13. 'These feet, boy, boy, boy, I've made no excuses," said Willis, who notes his feet "spoke" to him."When you don'thave no

Willis had missed six games in hiscareerbefore thislatest injury sidelined him for the final 10 games of 2014 for San Francisco, which struggled to an 8-8 finish without him and missed the playoffs for the first timeinfouryears. About a half-dozen of his 49ersteammates attended his news conference at Levi's Stadium. Willis regularly wiped his eyes with a tissue. Willis signed autographs for fans outside team headquarters and thanked the regular media who covered him. "He redefined his position," coach Jim Tomsula said. That's a different man. Pat feet, that's what has made me changeda lotofliveshere.Pat what I am. I no longer have in will change a lot oflives.... I've thesefeettogiveyou guysthat never heard Pat Willis comkind of'Wow.' " plain." Late Monday, Willis posted The NFL Defensive Rookie

of theYear in 2007 after being drafted 11th overall out of Mississippi, Willis started 112 games and had 950 tackles with 20'/2 sacks in eight seasons. Willis also had eight interceptions — two returned for touchdowns — 16 forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and 53 passes defensed. As word spread Monday that Willis was contemplating retirement, his former teammates and opponents took to

Twitter in tribute to No. 52. "Still have a chipped tooth from OPatrickWillis52 knocking me out. Congrats on a GREAT career manl Not a nicer guy out therei" quarterback Matt Leinart said. Both 49ers CEO Jed York and GM Trent Baalke spoke directly to Willis from the podlum.

"Obviously, this is a bittersweet day for the San Francisco 49ers,"York said."Pat, we're going to miss you, we love you, we thankyou foreverythmg."
