Under the agreement, the U.S.Bureau of Reclamation and National Marine Fisheries Service would grant the districts a partial exemption for springtime fish "pulse flows" intended to push salmon smolts to sea. The flows are required by federal laws intended to bolster salmon populations

on the river that were killed offby decadesofdam building and operation.

The riverflow requirement would be metby releasing 120,000 acre-feet &om upstream New Melones Reservoir, operated by the Bureau of Reclamation.

WWII veteran, Franklin "Frank" Leroy Gurney, age 92, entered into eternal life March 18, 2015.

Born in the family home in Campo Seco, CA in 1923, Frank was the youngest of seven children. Full of life and curiosity, his young dreams were of soaring through the skies as a fighter pilot.

I-lis dream became a reality in the fall of 1942 when he joined the Army, and later graduated from Cadet Training School in the Army Air Corps. With the gift of youth invincibility, he flew B-24s over "The I-lump," the infamously treacherous route from India over the l-limalayas, to supply Allied troops in China during WWII. When the war was over, 1st Lieutenant Gurney flew back to the states to tackle a dream much closer to his heart; marrying the love of his life, Evelyn Dabadie. In April of 1946, in Springfield, III, Frank and Evelyn began living in their own love story. The couple returned to their hometown of Jamestown, CA and had two children. Frank began working at U.S. Lime in Sonora, CA, and, in the evenings, built their family home. I-le worked as a master mechanic and electrician for 44 years until he retired at the age of 62.

A family man known for his golden heart, Frank never met anyone who wasn't a friend. He was a jack of all trades and lived to help others. Those in need could count on him to craft a solution to any mechanical quandary from construction to automobiles, and to offer a listening ear, the right solution and a good story as a reference. We were blessed to learn his valuable lessons and share in his passions. I-lis spirit is carried on by his family, friends, and those fortunate to have crossed his path in his 92 years.

I-le is survived by his wife Evelyn Gurney; his son Ralph Gurney and his wife Carolyn; his daughter Linda Gandolfo and her husband Robert; his grandchildren Michael Whitt and wife Delia, Denise Powell, and Erin Gandolfo-Brune and husband Joseph; great-grandchildren Angela Anderson, Lori McWilliams, Klayton Powell, Aeva Powell, and Jackson Brune; and great-great-grandchildren Abigail and Mason McWilliams.

A tribute ceremony to honor Frank's life will be held at Terzich and Wilson Funeral Home, 225 E. Rose at Lyons Street, on Thursday, March 26th at 10 am. Interment with military honors will follow at jamestown City Cemetery. The family welcomes loved ones to join in a reception at the Gandolfo's family home following the services. In Frank's memory, donations can be made to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or charity of their choice.

first-ever groundwater regulation

law were a tad premature when it passedlatelastsummer.

For afier a tantalizing winter of heavy rains but insufficient snowfall to dent the state's four-year drought, confusion over the groundwater rules has begun to set in.

One thing for sure: The rain and snow of the just-concluding winter have not been nearly enough to begin recharging California's more than 100 significant aquifers. These have beenpumped without regulation for many decades, to the point where land subsidence has become highly visible in the San Joaquin Valley and some other areas.

The new law's rules sounded just fine — until someone happened to look at the time limits. The rules aresetup to force wateragenciesto design local regulations preventing furtheroverdrafts,an overdraft de-

countysupervisors or irrigation district officers or just about anyone.

Whoever gets jurisdiction will have five to seven more years to design plans creating sustainability — a balancebetween pumping and replenishment. After that, theyll have 20 years toputtheplansintoaction.

So it might be about 30 years before the rules have any detectable effect, and at current pumping rates, there would be little or no groundwater leR by then. Which means this law has never had teeth. Nor, after lobbyistsfor groundwater users got through with the Legislature, was it intended to.

It's all been happy talk all along.

But even that is now dissipating.

While the choice of agency to control fined as pumping more water from groundwater has been easy and obunderground than percolates down vious in some areas like the Coachelto replace it.

Dear Commissioner Lopez: Thank you for taking my call today regarding your agency's threat to amelerate environmental water spills trom theNew Melones Reservoir in California So that there is no possibility of misunderstanding, I want to put in writing what I told you on the phone — mid in the strongest possible terms: the threatened release of water &om theNew Melonm Dam for Ssh mi ation will have utterl catastro hic conse uences to the thousands of residents who d end u on tbat water in the worst dro t ia the recorded histo of California.

Congratulations to Supervisor Brennan

At the end of the rainy season in the fourth year of this ongoing drought, our snow pack is at 12 percent of normal andNew Melones now holds just 25 percent of its nonaal capacity. For you to willfully release billions of gallons of water — when your agency has full discretion under curtent law whether to release it now — would the most irresponsible act you could possibly make in your capacity.

I was stunned by your admission that you had not spoken with the Oakdale Irrigation District and were unaware of its prediction that this action will take theNew Melones Reservoir to dead pool

by August. I was even more stunned when you told me you were too busy to discuss it with their general counsel, Tim O'Laughlin. I appreciate your taking his number, and can only pray that you ~ersomll conault him before maldng so devaslsting a decision.

As an individual member of Congress, I cannot stop you &om this fateful act. I can only express directly and unambiguously the consequences of it and to reiterate my warning to you: if you release this water for fish now and the human population of Copperopolis and surrounding communities ruas dry as a result — it will be an entirely avoidable human tragaly of your own making.

CCWD may suspendrate hike PUBLIC MEETING: Calaveras CountyWater District, 9 a.m., 120 Toma Court, San Andreas, 754-3543.

By AUSTEN THIBAULT The Union Democrat

The Calaveras County Water District Board of Directors on Wednesday will vote on whether or not to suspend rate

increasesscheduled for September.

The possibility of suspending the increases was prompted by a new budget for upcoming projects, which also will be voted on.

Before it votes, however, the board will hear an update on the district's finances, which are on target with projections, according to district finance officials.

The board will consider halting the scheduled September increases — the third and final in a series of annual increasesapproved in 2013 to help fund infrastructure projects through 2018.

The increases would raise rates from the current $86.16 a month for sewer and $56.78a month for water to $90 and $61.89, respectively. The rates in

2013 were $67.50 per month for sewer and $39.50 per month for water.

The district's finance committee says the revised budget would allow for suspension of the final increase.

The revised budget of $18.2 million includes projects at Copper Cove Lift Station 22; Copper Cove Reclamation Plant; Poker Flat Lift Stations 8, 12 and 13 Bypass; West Point, Wilseyville consolidation; Arnold sewer permit and leach field; Big Trees south zone redwood tanks; Ebbetts Pass Reach 3A water line; Ebbetts Pass Reach 1 water line; White Pines pond restoration; West Point backup water filter; Sheep Ranch water treatment plant; Jenny Lind A-B transmission line; and upgrades to old lift stations and water tanks throughout the district.

If the board approves this list, all oth-

Other proposals the board will consider Wednesday go further, not only halting the rate increase but adopting a $5 a month reduction in fees or a 10 percent reduction, which is slightly more.

The board will also look at adopting a resolution calling on state and federal

Savory cake. Have I lost you? I sure hope not because my potato and salami cheesecake from "America Farm to Table: Simple, Delicious Recipes Celebrating Local Farmers" ($35, Grand Central Life & Style) is absolutely killer.

This versatile dish makes an original appetizer forafancy dinner party,playsan excellent sideman to a light main course and also makes a great lunch with some roasted squashora sim plearugula salad.

The ricotta and the eggs give this cheesecake the texture we really like. Instead of using vanilla and sugar like in traditional cheesecake preparation, we use salami and the undisputed king of cheeses, Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Grate the Parmigiano-Reggiano with a little vigor to bring out its sharp, &uity grittiness when mixing with the salami and parsley.

Themeat can bewhateveryou have diced up in the refrigerator: ham, pancetta pieces or sweet Italian salami, as I prefer it. Spicy salami works just as well, which is what I used when I made this for Rachael Ray, a lady who loves a kick.

When dusting the bottom of your springform pan, you can also use what I like to call"fatboy breadcrumbs," left larger for a richer, crunchier,different texture. Breadcrumbs are super useful in breading, of course,but can also be added to dishes like pasta or salad, for a nutty flavor. Stale bread works as well as fresh, so be resourceful if you've got an older loaf lying around.

Don't be timid with those pieces of butter on top either. They will create glistening hot spots, making those breadcrumbs even more crunchy and delicious.

Chili rLib adds kick to healthy Grilled Fish Tacos

By BRUCE AIDELLS Tribune Content Agency

Instead of deep-frying the fish for these fish tacos, we coat the fish with a flavor-packed chile rub and grill it instead.

Make sure the fillets are no more than 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick so they cook quickly. Sometimes

Grilled Fish Tacos Makes: 6 servings, Preparation time: 50 minutes

Adobo-Rubbed Fish 4 teaspoons chili powder, preferably made with New Mexico or ancho chiles (see Note) 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 2 pounds mahi-mahi or Pacific halibut (see notes), 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick, skinned and cut into four portions

Coleslaw 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1 teaspoon lime zest 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 teaspoon sugar 1/8teaspoon salt Freshly ground pepper to taste 3 cups finely shredded red or green cabbage 12 corn tortillas, warmed (see notes)

flipping fish on the grill can be tricky since the fish can stick to the grill or fall apart. The solution is to invest in a grill basket that easily holds four to six fish fillets and secures the fish in the basket for easy flipping.

If you don't have a grilling basket, make sure the grill is hot and well-oiled before adding the fish.

bowl; mix until smooth and creamy. Add cabbage and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.

3. Preheat grill to medium-high.

4. Oil the grill rack (see notes) or use a grilling basket. Grill the fish until it is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a platter and separate into large chunks.

Serve the tacos family-style by passing the fish, tortillas, coleslaw and taco garnishes separately.

Recipe notes: • Mahi-mahi (also called dorado) from the U.S. Atlantic and halibut from the Pacific are both sustainably fished and considered best choices for the environment. For more information, go to seafoodwatch.org.

• Mildly spicy dried chiles, such as ancho or New Mexico, add moderate heat and rich flavor to Mexican sauces like mole. Chili powder made from these chiles has more flavor than American-style blends. Look for whole dried chiles in the produce section of large supermarkets and New Mexico or ancho chili powder in the specialty-spice section of large supermarkets or online at penzeys.com.

• To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)

• There are two ways to warm corn tortillas: 1. Microwave: Wrap stacks of up to 12 tortillas in barely damp paper towels; microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds. Wrap tortillas in a clean towel to keep warm. 2. Oven: Wrap stacks of six tortillas in foil; place in a 375 F oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Wrap tortillas in a clean towel to keep warm.

1. To prepare fish: Combine chili powder, lime juice, oil, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub adobo rub all over fish. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes for the fish to absorb the flavor.

2. To prepare coleslaw: Combine sour EatingWell is a magazine and raebsite cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime zest, lime devoted to healthy eating as a way of life. juice, sugar, salt and pepper in a medium Online at toiow.eatingtoell.com.

3 pounds waxy gold potatoes, such as Yukon Gold 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs, toasted in a saute pan till light golden brown 4 large eggs 1/2 cup whole milk 1/4 cup fresh ricotta 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 1/2 pound sweet Italian salami, cut into 1/4-inch dice 1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (1/4 cup) 4 ounces Asiago cheese, grated Placethe potatoes in a saucepan and add water to cover. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, butter the bottom and sides of a 12-inch springform pan with 2 tablespoons of the butter and dust the bottom and sides with 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs. ln a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk and ricotta and mix; set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Drain and peel the potatoes and pass them through a food mill or ricer into a very large bowl. While the potatoes are still warm, use a large rubber spatula to fold in the Parmigiano, then add the salami and the parsley and stir just enough to evenly mix. Gently stir in the egg mixture; do not overstir, just bring it all together.

Place half of the potato mixture in the prepared pan and gently smooth it to the edges. Sprinkle the grated Asiago over the potato mixture to within 1/4 inch of the outer edge, but not over. Top with the remaining potato mixture and carefully smooth it over with a wet spatula. Sprinkle with the remaining bread crumbs and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until light golden brown on top.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 20 mlnutes.

Unmold onto a serving plate and cut into wedges, like a cheesecake, to serve.

ansee s ui anceonsressu secre DEAR ANNIE: I'm a 24-year-old male who has been crossdressing since the age of 8. It started with collecting my own bras and panties, and now I have an entire wardrobe of women's clothing.

Because I currently live on my own, I change out of my male clothes into my female ones as soon as I come home from work. I've also had very serious thoughts and dreams about being a woman.

This is confusing to me, and I want to know whether there is someone I can talk to about these feelings. I'm way tooscared to come out to family or &iends because of what they would think. — LOST IN OTTAWA DEAR OTTAWA: Crossdressing is not as uncommon as you might think, and there are many reasons.

For others, there is a sexual component or a release oftension, along with a compulsion to wear clothing of the opposite gender. This type of crossdressing can be more diflicult for family members orpartners to accept.

You can findsupport and information through The Society for the Seeond Self (tri-ess.org) and the International Foundation for Gender Education (ifge.org).

I read about something called TC-2153: Is this worthwhile? This is so sad for a woman who was valedictorian of her class, raised six very successful children and is very intelligent in math skills.

People with dementia and hypertensionare atrisk for vascular causes of dementia, the second-most-likely cause of dementia, afterAlzheimer's disease.

In this case, statins can help prevent further damage to the brain from ministrokes.

I also heard from many people that avoiding toothpastes and mouth rinses with sodium lauryl sulfate (also called sodium dodecyl sulfate) canhelp, as this chemical can be irritating.

Todayin history Today is Tuesday, March 24, the 83rd day of 2015.

There are 282 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On March 24, 1765, Britain enacted the Quartering Act, requiring American colonists to provide temporary housing to British soldiers.

On thisdate: In 1944, in occupied Rome, the Nazisexecuted more than 300 civilians in reprisal for an attack by Italian partisans the day before that had killed 32 German soldiers.

In 1955, the Tennessee Williams play "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" opened on Broadway.

In 1958, rock-and-roll singer Elvis Presley was inducted into the Army in Memphis, Tennessee.

In 1975, Muhammad Ali defeated Chuck Wepner with a technical knockout in the 15th round of a fight in Richfield, Ohio. (Wepner, a journeyman known as the "Bayonne Bleeder," inspired Sly Stallone to make his "Rocky" films.)

In 1980, one of El Salvador's most respected Roman Catholic Church leaders, Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero, was shot to death by a sniper as he celebrated Mass in San Salvador.

In 1989, the supertanker Exxon Valdez (vahl-DEEZ') ran aground on a reef in Alaska's Prince William Sound and began leaking an estimated 11 million gallons of crude oil.

In 1999, NATO launched airstrikes against Yugoslavia, marking the first time in its 50-year existence that it had ever attacked a sovereign country. Thirty-nine people were killed when fire erupted in the Mont Blanc tunnel in France and burned for two days.

IIIG

OROS COP Birthday for March 25.Crazy dreams come true this year. Ask yourself, "What do I want to learn? Who do I want to play with?" Make bold promises and requests.

Springtime favors planning and organization. A partnership flowers in April. Confirm now for an adventure after June. Prepare for inspection after October's eclipses (10/13 & 10/27). Refine your portfolio and edit your online presence. Declare your love.

Dawn Olivieri, an actress and model, said, "I West have a sweet tooth for reading, so books migrate to my zipcode en masse."

Wouldn't it be great if everyone had a sweet e QJ9 6 tooth for reading? Today, though, Olivieri's key 4Q J8 word is "migrate." This deal is the same as yesSouth terday's except that the spade ace has migrated 4 965 2 into the dummy. How does that affect South's 7 AK line of play in three no-trump after West leads I ?3 the heart queen?

4 A K 762 South should rebid one spade, despite the weakness of the suit. North's three-diamond rebid is game-invitational, guaranteeing at least Vulnerable: Both a six-card suit. South, wlth t 0 heart stoPPers S outh W e s t N o rt h Eas t and some diamond fit, takes a shot at three noPass l l Pass trump.

14 Pass 31 Pass South starts with seven toP tricks: one sPade 3Nrf pass pas s pass two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. He can get two extra winners from either minor. Maybe O p ' g l ea: d0 VQ Opening diamonds will divide 3-2 or clubs will split 3-3.

Yesterday, declarer had to choose immediately, so went with diamonds because a 3-2 break is much more likely than 3-3 (67.8 percent versus 35.53 percent). Now, though, South can try both suits.

After winning the first trick, declarer should cash dummy's two top diamonds.

If the suit is splitting 3-2, South concedes a diamond trick. With the spade ace in the dummy, declarer can reach those three established winners and bring home an overtrick.

Here, though, when diamonds divide 4-1, South must hope for 3-3 clubs.

This line produces a 79.2 percent probability of success.

Break A plus Break B is better than Break A or Break B.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee's Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

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.

It's than anything — talked about record. They've been the team there for a r eason. We're how enthusiastic they are to to beat all season and will en- aware of it," Kerr said. 'That's "

the goal for everybody."

The Warriors lost in the conference finals in the 197576 season and haven't advanced that far since.

Afterdecades of struggles, the franchise has made significant strides under co-owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber.

The Warriors are headed to the playoffs for the third straight year and likely as the Western Conference's top seed — if not the top overall seed — behind their All-Star backcourt of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

'The Splash Brothers are two outstanding talents," said Hall of Famer Jamaal Wilkes, a star forward on the '74-75 team.

The Warriorsare set to break the team's record of 59 wins set in 1975-76. That's quite a long way since some fans booed Lacob in March 2012 during a jersey retirement ceremony for Chris Mullin at halftime of a game.

Barry scoldedfans for it

then — grabbing the microphone during the infamous ceremony — and even more now.

"All of those fools that were booing during the Chris Mullin special award ceremony should be writing letters and apologizingto Joe Lacob for what they did. Because it worked out pretty good," Barry sald.

The Warriors paid tribute to the title team throughout the game, including videos and an on-court ceremony afier the

first quarter, when Barry held the trophyalongside his former teammates and coaches

as fans gave them a standing ovation. The team also invited the former players into the locker room after the game.

BRIEFS Louisville Slugger bats sold to Wilson (AP) — Over a century of family ownership of Louisville Slugger bats is going ... going ... nearly gone.

The company that makes the iconic bats gripped by generationsof ballplayers — &om Babe Ruth to David Wright — announced a deal Monday to seH its Louisville Slugger brand to rival Wilson Sporting Goods Co. for $70 million.

For 131 years, the family behind Hillerich & Bradsby Co. has supplied bats for games &om the sandlots to the big leagues.

H&B CEO John A. Hillerich IV said keeping the bat business in f amily hands had been a dinnertime topicfor years. But as the competition's lineup grew in recent years, the family became willing to listen to offers to acquire the brand.

Hillerich is the greatgrandson of John A. "Bud" Hillerich, who churned out the first Louisville Slugger bat in 1884 for a renowned baseball player in his day, Pete Browning.

U nder terms of t h e agreement, H&B will continue to manufacture Lou-

isville Slugger wood bats at its factory in downtown Louisville, Kentucky.

NFL suspendingTV blackoutsfor 2015 PHOENIX (AP) — The NFL is saying bye-bye to blackouts. At least for 2015.

No NFL games will be blocked &om local television next

s eason, the

league said Monday at the owners' meetings. The teams votedfor a one-year

suspension of the longstanding blackout policy for the preseason and regular season.

There were no blackouts last season, because the minimum number of tickets, by NFL sellout standards, was sold for every game, and the league had only two blackouts in 2013.

Still, the experiment is a huge step for the NFL, whose blackout p olicy dates back decades. In the 1970s, half of NFL games were blocked &om local TV because the games did not sell enough tickets. Some teams — Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, Oakland, St. Louis and San Diegohave struggled to avoid blackouts, and the league is taking a bit of a gamble for 2015.

The policy stipulates that a home game must be sold out 72 hours in advance of kickoff in order to be televised locally.

Often, that deadline is extended to ensure sellouts if a club believes it can meet the criteria for lifting the blackout.

The league's definition of a full house is not selling everyseat but a large percentage ofthem, depending on the venue. The policy does not apply to suites or club seats.

Monday's move was met with immediate approval by one of the sponsors of legislation to eliminate the blackout permanently.

Proposal: Order unstable player off field PHOENIX (AP) — Millions of viewers and thousands of fans saw a wobbly Julian Edelman remain in the Super Bowl.

After looking at video of that situation and several similar ones, the NFL's powerful competitioncommittee is proposing a change.

NFL owners are considering a proposaltostop games when a medicaladviserseesaplayer displaying obvious signs of disorientation.

The suggestion was a late addition by the committee at the owners' meetings that began Monday. It would allow a medical spotter upstairs to communicate with the officiating crew when a player appears unstable.

The game wouldbe halted to remove the player, who then would undergo sideline examination at the very least. ''We got the (medical) spot-

ters, they've got a really good vantage point, they've got technology in their booth, they're communicating pretty well with our trainers and doctors

and we've got a pretty good rhythm going there," Rich McKay, co-chauman of the committee and president of the Atlanta Falcons, said.

"Why would we miss a play where a player should have come out of the game?"

The player's team would be allowed to substitute for him, and the opposite team also would be given a chance to change personnel.

That is one of two dozen proposals and rules changes being considered by the owners in a busy agenda.

Dean Blandino explained that the language within the rule is being tweaked for darification.

But theprocess required for a catch is not being changed.

"For years the requirements for a catch — the way it was communicated in the r u le book — is control, both feet (in bounds) and then, after that, the receiver had to have the ball long enough to perform an act common to the game," Blandino said. 'That was defined as being able to pitch it, pass it, dearly advance the ball as a runner."

That created confusion, which Blandino believes will be eliminated by changing the Word111g.

The pleas came as Los Angeles prosecutors were prepared topresent evidence of Sharper's fallfrom grace as a former all-pro safety who won a Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints. His clean-cut reputation took a hit when women began telling police in several cities similar stories
