Large houseboats are being hauledoff New Melones Reservoir prior to the summer recreation season, another sign of the four-year drought's impact on the area.

Owners received a notice last month from the operators of New Melones Lake Marina recommending that they remove their houseboats by early April, due to"extremely low water levels" forecasted throughout the season.

Doctor who delivered boy teaching him banjo craft 18 years later

By AUSTEN THIBAULT The Union Democrat

COMMUNITY

A retireddoctor is teaching a teen to make a banjo, 18 years after delivering him.

Dr. Charles Waldman, of Columbia, ran a family practice for nearly 20 years in Sonora until retiring in 1999.

Tristan Pomeroy, a Sonora High School senior, is a musician who primarily plays guitar and wanted to learn banjo.

He ran into Waldman, who was playing his banjo at the Sonora Farmers Market last summer. Pomeroy's father, also there, identified Waldman as the very man who delivered his son into the world 18 years ago in Sonora.

"It's a strange coincidence," Pomeroy said. "It's cool."

Waldman couldn't say he remembered

"This is an important time in our county's history," Pedro said. "It's important we bring focus to this and find a way to work together to come up with a vision for the future and meet those needs in a collaborative manner."

ties and our forests? If you say yes to any of these questions then Tuolumne Utilities District is asking for your support to make sure you and your neighbors can have water for these uses.

TUD is asking the community for itssupport of a new study released by the State Water Resources Control Board regarding impacts torecreation at Pinecrest Lake relative to different water

elevations. In 2008, new regulations were put in place by the State toregulate the operation of Pinecrest Lake holding it to an unrealistic elevation on Labor Day without flexibility.

The new regulations would have had serious water impacts to an estimated 44,000 Tuolumne County residents. TUD has been working to change the regulations and we are at a pivotal point in getting the regulationschanged for the betterment of existing county residents.

The new study recently recognizes the need to balance the community water supply and the recreational value of Pinecrest Lake.

As a resident of Tuolumne County,you may not be aware that our unique history plays a very important part of our existing water supply. Tuolumne Utilities District's most important watershed is the

water that comes from Pinecrest Lake. Pinecrest Lake now, formally called Strawberry Lake, was created by a dam built by the Tuolumne County WaterCompany in 1856.

In 1916, the original dam was

Normally, this transfer takes place after Labor Day, however, climate patterns are showing that snow is melting off earlier and will require water transfers from Pinecrest Lake to occur earlier than normal. As a result of these natural climate patterns, Pinecrest Lake water elevations could then be lower than desired at Labor Day. Based on these changing climate patterns, there is likely a need for flexibility in this regulation.

POLL QUESTION This week's poll question is: Do youthinkGov. Brown's 25 percent mandatoryconservation measures are enough?

• No, we need to conserve more • No, it's too much • Yes, it's a reasonable amount

The results from last week's poll question: Shoulddevelopment haltbecause of Tuolumne County's lack of water?

• Y es, it is irresponsible....... . . . . . . . . .

• We should develop more selectively...

• No, it would hurt the local economy ...

Boy do Ihave a deal for you. Give m e enough money tobuild a fancy new house, and I promise I won't try to blow up yours. You can even check my basement to make sure I'm not stockpiling dynamite. Oh, and I promise I won't try to buy any explosives from those shady characters I hang out with or hide what I already have in a storage unit somewhere else.

Sound like a good bargain? Well, in simple terms, it pretty much describes the framework the Obama administration has signed on to in order to persuadeIran togiveup its questtobuild nuclear weapons.

The U.S. and our allies agree to lift economic sanctions, which have crippled the Iranian economy, in return forIran agreeing tohold back on making nuclear weapons for a while. They promise to convert facilities we know they have been using to enrich uranium and plutonium. They will even let us inspect some sites, though we know they have violated all previous agreements for open inspections. And we'll continue to turn a blind eye toward the mullahs' pervasive violations of human rights, especially those of women.

President Obama seems to regard as a major achievement an agreement

Obama administration's response to

Our allies don't trust us. Relations between the U.S. and Israel rarely have been worse, but we're not on all that great of terms with the UK or Germany, either. Do any of our allies even trust our word any longer?

Why should they, when the president repeatedlyhas failed to live up to promises, whether to stop Russian aggression in Ukraine or to keep the murderous Assad regime from killing Syrian civilians?

I ndeed, the M i ddle E ast h a s descended into chaos.

Iraq is plagued by ISIS and sectarian conflicts between Shia and Sunni Muslims. The government in Yemen has collapsed, forcing a Saudi-led military operation that hopes to fend off Iranian-backed rebels from gaining total control of the failed state.

In North Africa, terrorists have attacked a museum in Tunisia and a U.S. consulate in Libya, and both countries face growing threats from ISIS and al-Qaidaaffi liates.Mo rocco,often regarded asthe most stabile country in the region, arrested ISIS members in March who were allegedly planning attacks against military installations and plotting political assassinations.

the threat of Boko Haram has proved little more effective than Michelle Obama's tweeting ¹ BringBackOurGirls when the terrorists kidnapped hundreds ofNigerian young women last year.

The Iranian deal is of a piece with the Obama administration's overall foreign policy. It is more capitulation to those who threaten our national security. Iran will get an immediate economic boost as we liftsanctions,

which will strengthen a regime that is already ascendant as a regional power.

A stronger Iranian economy will make it easier for the ruling mullahs to promote terrorism around the world and to fight proxy wars in Yemen and elsewhere. Thanks to Obama's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, Iran is already calling the shots in those areas of Iraq that haven't fallen to ISIS. At a Rose Garden press conference announcing the Iran deal, the presi-

dent promised: "If Iran cheats, the world will know it. If we see something suspicious, we will inspect it."

An escaped debris fire was citedas the cause of a blaze that destroyed a home Sunday on Big Hill, according to Cal Fire. Escaped debris fires were also reported March 31 in Copperopolis, March 30 in Groveland and Apple Valley, March 29 in Groveland, and March 18 in Mi-Wuk Village.

Now, Cal Fire personnel with the Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit are trying to remind peoplehow to do safe debris burns and ensure they do not turn into big, damaging fires.

Debris burning is a common toolused to dispose of vegetation when creating and maintaining defensible space, T uolumne-Calaveras U n i t officials said Thursday. Fire season has not been declared.

However, the price for owners who wait could be more than $5,000 because a wide-load trailer is needed to haul out the massive houseboats.

"Within the park, we don't have to do any permitting for wideloaders," Collum said. "If they did it there, they would have to get permits and pilot cars."

She added that the three-year state grant is "seed" money to get the program up and rulllllilg.

The funding for adults will create many interventionprograms to provide counseling and treatment solutions to reduce recidivism rates.

Tuolumne County Sheriff Jim Mele said therewillbe specialprograms toserve the needs of incarcerated veterans, who make up a total 75 percent of the Tuolumne County Jail population.

About 45 percent of youth offenders in the Tuolumne County Probation Department struggle with mental health issues, Arnold said. The proposed grant funds will be usedto create a crisis center to house and treatjuvenilesbeforebehavioralproblems get out of control and they have to be removed from society, Arnold said.

The BSCC released the grant proposal in mid-February. Both county agencies had a short time to convene and develop a strategy toassess and address the needs ofthe mentally ill in the county's judicial system, Arnold said.

There will be some good foul shooters at the Final Four. Several of them play for Wisconsin, which ranks 11th in the country at 76.4 percent. Unbeaten Kentucky is shootinga solid 72.5 percent, in stark contrast to some of coach John Calipari's previous teams.

When Calipari was the coach at Memphis in 2008, he lost a gut-wrenching national title game to Kansas when his team went 12 of 19 at the line.

In last season's championship game, Kentucky shot 13 of 24 against UConn.

But that hasn't been a weakness for this year's Wild-

ment.

The Spartans have been nowhere near that reliable.

The suggested retail pricefor the May 2 payper-view will be $89.95, the two cable networks broadcasting the fight said Thursday. Many, though, will end up paying $99.95 because of a surcharge for high definition tacked on by many cable and satellite providers.

Like almost everything else about the fight, the pay-per-view price is a record for boxing. The previous highest was the $64.95/$74.95 charged for the 2013 fight between Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez.

The welterweight title unification fight will be televised by HBO a nd Showtime, using a combination of a nnouncers.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Oakland Athletics left fielder Coco Crisp will have surgery on his right elbow and could miss up to two months.

Crisp said before Thursday night's e xhibition game against San Francisco at AT&T Park that he will have the surgery on Friday to remove a bone chip and spurs.

"I did it my first at-bat of spring," Crisp said. "It was just like a strained triceps, but I guess that might have done something else in there in the process."

But the overlooked cog in the Warriors' rise to elite is the architect: general manager Bob Myers.

The only two players who were around when Myers took over three years ago were Stephen Curry and David Lee. The rest are products countless phone calls, uber competitiveness, his new-age philosophy on winning basketball.

And after all the years of stressful decisions, maneuvering and angling, he's having ahard time comprehending the fruits of his labor.

swings and misses of being a general manager, Myers was the manager of the Mark Jackson fallout. He was the go-between on multiple levels, spending months trying to stomp out fires in thousanddollar shoes.

He's come a long way as a G.M. And the Warriors have come a long way right along with him.

"Growing up in this community and watching for 25 years makes you appreciate this success," Myers said. "I wasn't someone that grew up in another city, another team.

This is all I know.... There is still a tiny bit of fan in me.

When I go there, when I allow myself to go to that place, I think,'Wow.'" Myers is usually a mess watching Warriors games. He lives and dies with every play, agonizing over each mistake, feeling after each loss like he failed personally. It's worse

that he's so far away, tucked in a suite, helplessly forced to trustdecisions he made months ago.

Over the years, he's had a lot to fret watching the Warriors. But this year, he's been able to relax a bit.

He's still a stress bucket on game days. But this team takes away much of the angst.

Myers said he doesn't want recognition like Curry and Kerr and Lacob. He gets his fulfillment watching his team &om the suite.

It's enough to make even Myers breathe, watching all these pieces he put together click in a way he can't even explain.

"I thought about how to better watch our games," Myers

said. "I'm just a competitive person, and that's how it's going to be. It does make watching games harder, but this team hasmade ita biteasier.

2-hour, 7-minute classic on Thursday night. Looking for her eighth title at Key Biscayne, the top-seeded Williams meets 12thseeded Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain on Saturday.

"I made so many errors and I was like 'Serena, just come to the net at this point, because that's the only thing that was working for me,"' Williams said."I'm just really happy to get through that. It was actually a really fun match and I was able to come out and play here tonight."

Halep, the No. 3 seed from Romania, beat Williams 6-0, 6-2 last year during round-robin play at the WTA Finals. Williams returned the favor later in that tournament, 6-3, 6-0.

They were to meet in the semifinals at Indian Wells last month, but a balky right knee forced Williams out of that matchup.

Djokovic got on a similar roll in his quarterfinal. Down 3-0 early, he won 10 of the next 13 games and never looked back — spoiling Ferrer's 33rd birthday.

"A very close match," Djokovic said. "I enjoyed it."

Up 4-2 in the opening set but facing break point, Ferrer stabbed his racket out to snare a passing try by Djokovic, the resulting dropshot winner drawing raves from the crowd and even a racket-clap from Djokovic himself.

It was one of the last hurrahs for Ferrer.

Djokovic got the break two points later, putting the opening set back on serve. Another break followed for a 6-5 lead, and Djokovic finished the 58-minute opening set off with a hold.

It was the 31st time he's won a

first set at Key Biscayne. He's now 31-0 in those matches. Ferrer fought off a match pointand ended up breaking Djokovic to knot the second set at 5-5, then lost eight of the match's remaining 10 points.

"Iexpected itto be avery physical match as it always is with David," Djokovic said. "He's one of the greatestcompetitorsoutthere."

NEW YORK (AP) — Two daysaftersetting theschool's career scoring record, Chason Randle made the goahead free throws with 3.4 seconds left in overtime, and the Cardinal edged Miami 66-64 on Thursday.

Sheldon McClellan's double-pumping 3-point attempt that would have won it at the buzzer wasn't close.

The Hurricanes had ralliedfrom a 13-point secondhalf deficit to force OT and led 64-61 with less than a minute left. But Randle twice got to the line, making four straightfoul shots for the victory.

The senior finished with 25 points to earn most outstanding player honors.

The experimental 30-second shot clock being used in the NIT proved critical after Randle's free throws pulled Stanford to 64-63 with 38.9 seconds leit. Under the regular 35-second clock, the Cardinal (24-13) probably would have needed to foul. Instead, they played defense, and Deandre Burnett missed a 3-point attempt that might have clinched it.

Practicing tough love is breaking mom's heart DEAR ANNIE: I have a 30-yearold son. "Brad" was the perfect child, loving and affectionate, until the age of 16. That's when I divorced my drug-addicted husband. I sheltered the children as much as I could &om what their father was doing.

W hen I transferred Brad to a public school, he got involved in drugs, quit school, became verbally abusive, did a stint in jail and more. I remarried a wonderful man who showed Brad nothing but love. Any disciplining was done by me.

When I foundout Brad was doing drugs at age 21, I kicked him out of the house. He abused steroids and who knows what else. He blames me for the way he is because I kicked

Several treatment options available to help with COPD DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been told that I have COPD. The lung doctor said that he's pleased wjth my X-ray and will see me next year. My concern is whether this will get worse. I'm scared to death. I have difEculty catching my breath. I quit smoking about four years ago. I know I can't repair the damage that has been done, but is there anythingI can do to keep this disease &om getting worse? — T.C. ANSWER: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in North America is due mostly to cigarette smoking, but cooking fires, asthma and other rare conditi ons also may predispose people to COPD. Lung function decreases with aging in all adults, but in people with COPD (emphysema, chronic bronchitis and some types of chronic asthma), the

By PHILLIP ALDER 0 A98 4 AJ 6 3 K halil Gibran, a Lebanese artist, poet and Wes t East writer, said, "The teacher who is indeed wise 4 1 0 9 8 7 4 64 3 does not bid you to enter the house of his T 2 YQ Jlo 0 KQ 1 0 wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold 4 J 7 6 5 3 2 410 7 4Q982 of your mind."

South That is so true.

4 AKQ At the bridge table, after bidding, you must 7 A98 6 5 3 apply your mind to winning the requisite numW4 ber of tricks. In today's deal, South pushes into 4 K 54 six hearts. West leads the spade 10 to South's Dealer: South ace. How should declarer continue?

Vulnerable: North-South In the auction, South's two-heart rebid was S outh W e s t N o r t h E a s t forcing, since North's two-over-one response 1+ Pass 24 Pass guaranteed a rebid. When South heard about 2 V Pass 4V Pass respectable heart support, he plunged into 4NT Pass 5V Pass Blackwood. He upgraded for his secondary 6V Pass Pa s s Pas s club fit.

If trumps are 2-2, there will be no problems.

Opening lead: 4 10 If they are 4-0, the contract has no chance. But what if they are 3-17 Then it looks as if declarer would need the club finesse to work. However, there is another possibility.

South cashes his heart ace, plays a diamond to dummy's ace, ruffs a diamond in his hand, leads a heart to dummy's king (getting the bad news), and ruffs the last diamond. Then declarer plays off his other two spade winners. With his preparations complete, South exits with a trump, giving East the lead.

Here, East has only clubs left in his hand, so must play away from his queen into dummy's ace-jack. Note, though, that if East still has a spade or diamond in his hand, declarer would ruff and take the club finesse.
