More than 100 vendors — most from the Mother Lode — will be spread across the grounds and buildings of the venue.

They'll show off their wares to up to 10,000 participants, looking to find special deals, new ideas and a one-stop-shop of suppliers.

Drivers should anticipate five-minute delaysin the area from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.,Monday through Friday,according to Caltrans spokeswoman Angela DaPrato.

The purposeof the project is to do some stormwater mitigation and reinforcethe slopesin the area,she said.

Caltrans reached a $2.7 million settlement late last year with the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board overalleged stormwater violations caused by inadequate erosion controls at the bridge abutment on Mono W ay, east ofPeacefulOak Road, during the bypass project's construction phase in late 2012.

Caltrans crews will work along both shoulders of Highway 108 in East Sonora beginning Monday. and Dec. 27, 2012, led to the discharge of about800,000 gallons of sedimentladen storm water into the nearby Algerine Ditch, which flows into Curtis Creek and later Don Pedro Reservoir.

Tuolumne County was not liable for the penalti es.

DaPrato said next week's slope reinforcement project is not part of the settlement, but rather the result of Caltrans maintenance officials identi-

fying additional work needed to protect the area.

"It'smore of a proactive project than a reactive project," she said. "The stormwater issues were further up the hill."

Caltrans is currently going through litigation with the bypass project's contractor, Teichert Construction, in an attempt to recoup costs from the stormwater settlement, DaPrato said.

One aspect of the county's upcoming drought forums will address the area's groundwater and possible assistance for those with wells running dry due to the drought.

Residents experiencing problems with access to water at their home due to low or dry wells are encouraged to report the issues to the county for possible assistance through the California Disaster Assistance Act. Reporting forms are available online at www.tuolumnecounty.ca.gov, under the News Flash section by clicking the headline "Report of Abnormal Groundwater & Surface Water Levels Intake Form."

A citizens group that late last year sued Sonora Union High School District over its plans to build a new swimming pool and locker room has about two more weeks to file new paperwork with the Tuolumne County Superior Court to keep the case alive.

This may be a good time for the plaintiffs, the "Citizens Against the School Bond Abuse," a group of taxpayers who feel deceived, and residents sentimental about the old community pool, to just cut bait.

We say this not because we think they are wrong. It's just that, sometimes, the damage done in fighting an arguably just war is just too great.

We've saidbefore we feelthe districtwas opaque with the broad public about plans to build a pool when asking voters to approve 2012's bond-sales measure, Measure J. The district counters that a pool was discussed at community forums when specifics about the bond's promised "athletic facilities" were discussed.

The plaintiffs argue the district, in not being even clearer, violated Proposition 39, a 2012 initiative that says government agencies must explain how specifically bond funds will be used when putting measures on the ballot.

So far, the district has spent $50,000 defending itself in the case. This figure only stands to grow if the lawsuit proceeds through the legal system to an appellate court, etc. Superintendent Mike McCoy estimates the price tag couldclimb to $200,000 or more.

Only attorneys and consultants are benefitting from the fight thus far. And, honestly, if and when a new pool is built, the community would have a very nice and usable asset (much more broadly so than, say, stadium bleachers or astroturf).

So let's just agree to disagree and do something that will at least benefit the community.

On a sad note: This pool, if eventually built, will, inarguably, be a community centerpiece for years to come.

However, unlike the existing pool, built with broad community support, it will forever be tainted by the fight over its construction.

POLL QUESTION This week's poll question is: Do you think releasing water from reservoirs to help fish is a good idea in a drought year?

• Yes. Humans should sacrifice to aid endangered animals.

• Yes. However, to a smaller degree than is being done.

GUEST COLUMN

In 'The Residence,' the help gets revenge WASHINGTON — The new tell-all, "The Residence," featuring intimate anecdotes collectedfrom past and current White House staff members,

is absolutely delicious — and utterly lacking in nutritious content.

Just as desserts should be.

Washington political writers, meanwhile, have been tearing through lists of revealed secrets thinking to themselves: OMG, this is disgusting trash!

Why didn't I write it? Or was thatjust me?

Written by political journalist Kate Andersen Brower, "The Residence" (HarperCollins) was a No. 1 best-seller insearch ofa typist.No w we allget to peek behind the curtain and spy on the world's most powerful couplesand their children.

Let's just say, the help have spoken.

Although the book is based on interviews with real people, this one has the distinctfeel of gossip, mostly because it is. Gossip.

We know it when we hear it, listen intently because it would be rude not to; and then grudgingly, we cough it up to someone else with lowered voice and the faux-pained caveat:"But please don't tell anyone."

Sure.

Brower's book suggests people were happy to talk. From this we may infer that the taint of gossip has diminished, as previously private lives have become public through the social media-driven interplay of exhibitionism and voyeurism.

The notion that protecting the president's privacy is an honor and a privilege ran away with our qualms.

Palace intrigue — or the American equivalent, such as it is — has ever been nectar to the masses. See, the queen has warts! And the king doesn't bathe except on Sundays!

Regulators weigh splitting up utili SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — On the heels of a record $1.6 billion penalty against Pacific Gas & Electric Co., California's top utility regulator said he will look into whether the state's biggest power utility should be broken up to improve safety.

The penalty, and the warning that even tougher action might be coming, came Thursday as punishment for a fiery 2010 gas pipeline explosion that killed eight people in a San Francisco suburb.

PG&E said it would accept the penalty without appeal and pledged to make its operations safer. CEO Tony Earley released a statement saying the utility was "deeply sorry" for the explosion.

"The lessons of this tragic event will not be forgotten,"he said.

Federal investigators blamed both safety failings by the utility and lax oversightby state regulatorsfor the disaster.

The penalty was the largest against a utility in state history. Members of the California Public Utilities Commission said the utility has continued to rack up safety citations since the blast in San Bruno.

Commission President Michael Picker said he would ask commission staff to evaluate splitting up PG&E's operations, which combine gas and electricity, and serve9.7 million customers across Northern California and the Central Valley.

"I'm asking the question. We11 have to answer it," Picker told The Associated Press.

The panel also will investigate whether to go after bonuses and stock options that PG&E gives executives, and it will launch a formal investigation into the utility's "culture of safety."

The penalty, which was adopted unanimously after one of the five commissioners recused himself from the

Vaccine Transgender teen in Southern bill sparks California kills self aRer bullying acidic

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A 16-year-old transgender girl who spoke on YouTube about being bullied at school in Southern California killed herself, a support group said, raising questions alfout what educators can and should do to support students who change gender identity.

Taylor Alesana was constantly picked on by peersbeforetaking herlife lastweek,the North County LGBTQ Resource Center said. ''With few adults to turn to, and with no support from her school, her life became too diflicult," the group said."Taylor was a beautiful and courageous girl, and all she wanted was acceptance."

Alesana attended meetings at the center and was very supportive of others, said Max Disposti, the group's executive director. She posted a series of online videos that included makeup tutorials and accounts of her struggles.

In her first video posted in October, she said bullying began at a San Diego-area middle school when she disclosed that she was bisexual.

measles outbreak at Disneyland has generated such an acidic debate that the proposal's author was under added security this week.

Authorities w o uldn't specify the extra protections around state Sen. Richard Pan on Friday, but the level of anger over the measure has been clear.

Opponents have flooded the Capitol to stand up for parental rights, and images that compare Pan to Adolf Hitler have circulated online.

"Unfortunately, t h ere is a sub-segment of the group that seems to want to engage in vitriol and intimidation and bullying in order to get their way," said Pan, a Democratic pediatrician from Sacra-

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden visited a power plant in Oakland, on Friday and spoke with veterans enrolled in a job-training program as part of a two-day swing through the Bay Area.

Biden spoke with 15 students in Pacific Gas & Electric's workforce development program before a broader press event where he spoke about the importance of workforce development, especiall y for veterans,according to remarks released by the White House.

Employment among veterans is improving, even as problems remain, he said.

'The good news, ladies and gentleman, is that America is back," Biden said.

He praised PG&E's training program, which prepares peopleforcareers as utility workers, welders, gas-service representatives and other

mento.

Sen. Carol Liu, chair of the Education Committee, which will hear the bill next week, said through a spokesman that the proposal has generated more calls to her office than any other this year, including measures on immigration, doctor-assisted s u i cide and polic eshootings.

"It literally started the first dayit was in the news, and it never stopped," said Robert Oaks, Liu's spokesman.

Pan said he introduced the measure, Senate Bill 277, to limit inoculation waivers after a measles outbreak in D e cember that started at Disneyland and sickened more than 100 people across the U.S. and in Mexico.

bit different. They know what bullying is like," she said.

Alesana said her family recently moved to Fallbrook— a community of about 30,000 people next to Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base, 70 miles north of San Diegoand that she was "living my life as a girl now," wearing female clothing on weekends and duringsummer. She eventually found friends at Fallbrook High School but encountered rejection first.

"I made a couple (friends), went from group to group. The group would usually kick me out after they realized, 'Oh, you're different.

We can't have you hanging out with us,"' she sald.

Alesana had a strong relationship with her school counselor but administrators "didn't take the necessary steps," Disposti said.

Fallbrook Union High School District Superintendent Hugo Pedroza said in a statement that a student died tragically on April 2. "It is never easy when something like this happens, but we are working to move forward together and stronger than before," he sald.

The vice president gave his speech before utility workers and other elected officials.

He ignored a question shouted at him about a $1.6 billion penalty levied against PG&E this week for a deadly 2010 pipeline explosion that rocked San Bruno, a suburb south of San Francisco, The Sacramento Bee reported.

The company has said it would not appeal the penalty.

Afl;erward, Biden crossed back over the Bay Bridge and stopped for lunch at The Melt, a grilled cheese sandwich shop in downtown San Francisco.

Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, arrived in the Bay Area Thursday evening.

The vice president attended a p olitical fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, while his wife visited De Anza Community College in Cupertino to highlight the administration's commitment to two-

year colleges.

vote, requires PG&E shareholders to pay $850 million toward gas transmission safety improvements. PG&E also must pay a $300 million penalty that goes into the state's general fund.

It mandates the utility dole out $400 million in bill credits, and it directs approximately $50 million toward other remedies.

The fine, and potential tax liabilities, were bigger than investors had hoped, and PG&E share prices closed down 1.6 percentThursday.

Investors overall would be likely to welcome splitting off the utility's gas operations, which carry most of the company's financial risks and only 20 percent of its earnings power.

The explosion has led to state and federal investigations into alleged backchannel dealings between PG&E executives and the utility commission's former head, Michael Peevey, whose term expired earlier this year.

A6 — Saturday, April 11, 2015

in on o announce WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton will end months of speculation and launch her highly anticipated 2016 presidential campaign on Sunday, skipping a flashy kickofF rally in favor of conversations with voters about the economic needs of middle class families and the next generation.

Clinton, the former first lady and secretaryofstate who lost the 2008 nomination to Barack Obama, will begin this time by courting voters in living rooms and cafes in early voting states. If victorious in 2016, she would become the nation's first female president.

The first official word of her candidacy will come in a video posted on social media and to supporters online, according to two people familiar with her plans. She will then turn to states such as Iowa and New Hampshire, looking to connect directly with voters in small, intimate settings.

The people familiar with her plans spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to

discuss them publicly.

Clinton has offered glimpses in recent speeches of why she will again seek the White House. Another preview came Friday in the epilogue to the paperback version of her 2014 book, "Hard Choices."

"Becoming a grandmother has made me think deeply about the responsibility we all share as stewards of the world we inherit and will one day pass on," Clinton writes in the new chapter, according to a preview published by The Huffington Post."Rather than make me want to slow down, it has spurred me to

speed up."

The Sunday announcement will mark Clinton's formal return to politics following a two-year leave from govern-

The powerful symbolism of a face-to-face exchange Saturday between the leaders could signal progress even though both sides are still working through nettlesome issues that would lead to the opening of embassies in Washington and Havana, the first stage in a new diplomatic relationship.

Obama cast the move to end 50years ofhostile relations as a triumph for the Cuban people.

followed it with a large, boisterous rally in Des Moines: "I'm running for president, and I'm in it to win it."

This time, the emphasis will be making a personal connection, rather than touting herself. Clinton allies say they hope the intimate settings will let people see a more nurturing, empathetic side, along with her sense of humor.

"I think she's going to make sure she's in the small venues, the living rooms, the smaller places where she can connect directly with the voters," said Sylvia Larsen, a former New Hampshire state Senate president and a longtime

Clinton supporter. "When people meet Hillary Clinton, they are persuaded.

The White House was coy over the status of the State Department's recommendation to remove Cuba &om the U.S. list of state sponsors of terror.

Removal isa top issue withCastrobecause itwould not only eliminate Cuba's status as a pariah, but also ease Cuba's ability to conduct simple financial transactions.

Man charged with bomb plot in Kansas TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A man charged Fridaywith plotting a suicide bomb attack on a Kansas military base to help the Islamic State group was mentally ill and was acting strangely only days before his arrest, according to a Muslim cieric who said he was counseling him at the request of the FBI. John T. Booker Jr., of Topeka, is accused of planning a suicide attack at Fort Riley, about 70 miles west of Topeka. Prosecutors allege he told a Federal Bureau of Investigation informant he wanted to kill Americans and engage in violent jihad on behalfof the terrorist group, and said he believed such an attack was justified because the Quran "says to kill your enemies wherever they are," according to a crimmal complaint.

Authorities arrested Book-

er on Friday as he was trying to arm what he thought was a 1,000 pound bomb outside the Army post. The criminal complaint filed in federal court in Topeka charges him with three crimes, including attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.

The topfederalprosecutor for Kansas also charged another Topeka man, Alexander E. Blair, 28, with failing to reportBooker's plans to authorities. The complaint alleges that Blair and Booker shared some "extremist

views" and that Blair loaned Booker money to rent space to build and store a bomb.

Imam Omar Hazim of the Islamic Center of Topeka told The Associated Press that two FBI agents brought Booker to him early in 2014 for counseling, hoping to turn the young man away from radical beliefs.

mended against a proposal by Swedish Match to market its smokeless tobacco pouches as less harmM than cigarettes and other tobacco products.

The company has asked the Food and DrugAdministration for permissionto remove or revise several warning labels on the pouches, called snus.

It's the first request the FDA has considered publicly since it gained authority to regulate tobacco products in 2009.

But a panel of FDA advisers said overwhelmingly Fhday that company data do not support relaxing warning labels on snus.

The eight-member panel voted unanimously that the company's application does not show that snus lack the same risks of gum diseases and tooth lossasothersmokelesstobacco products. Swedish Match has asked the FDA to drop those warnings &om its U.S. ofFerings, including brands such as Longhorn,Timber Wolf and General snus.

Bob Middleton, of Middleton's Furmture and Appliance in Sonora — which has participated in the show for more than 30years — praised theevent.

"Ican'tget10,000 peoplein my store on a weekend. I get sales off this show six months to a year later," he said.

She was a queen contestant when she was 16, and her daughter, Angie Norton, was crowned queen in 1995.

Campidonica became a posse associatemember in 2000 and volunteered with the queen contest for five years.

"It's been a hit with our rodeo fans," said O'Brien, who credits his wife, Kelli, with coming up with the idea 10 yearsago after attending a similar event in Oakdale.

One of the most wellattended eventsleading to Roundup weekend, the day includes lunch, fashions provided by local businesses, live and silent auctions and prize drawings.

The fashion show will feature clothing &om numerous local businesses, and not all are Western styles, said Judie Kavanaugh, of Sonora, who collect s raffle items for the show.

Money from the event is used forscholarships for local high school students.

"It's become one of the most successful financial things we do for our scholarship program," Al O'Brien sald.

Campidonica said it also serves as a way to do some-

thing special for queen candidates and past queens.

The food is planned and prepared by Margaret and John Egger, of Tuolumne, who own Tuolumne Market.

V olunteer Kathy K i l e, of Jamestown, helps make trays and whatever else Margaret Egger needs help with.

Margaret Egger starts planning the menu, ordering food and preparing for the event in January. She has been in charge of the food for eight of the event's nine years.

nity exhibited strong water conservationefforts due to drought conditions facing our region. It is essential for the health and well-being of Tuolumne County that TUD be able to draw down Pinecrest Lake as described above for the water consumption needs and safety of the community."

Earlier this week, the Tuolumne CountyBoard of Supervisors and Sonora City Council unanimously approved letters of support to the State Water Board for adjusting summer minimum surface levels at Pinecrest &om 5,608 feet elevation to 5,600 feet during critically dry years.

approved by the state Monday.

After Friday's resolution, the bureau said all pulse flows were to continue as scheduled beginning at 1 a.m. today. Releases at Goodwin Dam, downstream of New Melones and Tulloch reservoirs, will ramp up from 200 to 1,500cubic-feetpersecond, beforeslowly starting to decrease Tuesday.

Copperopolis h omeowners raised concerns about an

original management plan for New Melones released in February that could have possibly led to the draining of TullochReservoir,a popular tourist destination, in July or August.

As a result of Friday' s agreement, Tulloch Reservoir is expected to have normal operations through Oct. 1.

A lake drawdown affer Oct. 1 will depend on the total amount of runoff into New Melones.

Calaveras County Water District's municipal water supply in T u lloch, which serves 2,500 connections in

Copperopolis, will not be interrupted, the bureau said.

Deep-rootedmovement has

grown beyond just veggies

By LIZ DOUVILLl t: Wescom ¹ws Service

An occasional trip down memory lane can be a good thing that helps us understand and appreciate how we arrived at where we are in the gardening world.

The February/March issue of Organic Gardening is a special collector's issue given to leading us down those paths.

J.I. Rodale, considered to be the founder of the American organic movement, launched Organic

Farmingand Gardening magazine in May 1942.

In a nutshell, when the global chemical revolution was beginning in the 1940s, Rodale predicted we would become our own worst enemy with regard to agriculture. For standing firm in his convictions that organic agriculture was essential to our health and survival, he was labeled a quack, a charlatan and a revolutionary.

Remember when Organic Gardening became the bible for the hippie movement in the 1960s? In the 1970s,thepublication became the go-topublication for self-sufficiency awareness that was brought to our attention by the energy crisis.

Seventy-three years later, there is a governmentapproved classification to identify certified organic food. Organically grown foods are increasingly available in our markets, and the numbers of vendors at local farmers markets is increasing as well.

This particular issue of Organic Gardening, in addition to the walk down memory lane, announces a relaunch of the magazine as Rodale's Organic Life.

Granddaughter Maria Rodale states that organic is now about so much more than gardening: "It's about your whole life — your home, your health and our future together on this beautiful, amazing Earth." Garden information will still exist online atOrganicGardening.com.

I can never think of my early gardening days without thinking of Ruth Stout, author of many garden books but probably most famous for 'The Ruth Stout ¹ Work Garden Book." Stout also contributed articles to Organic Gardneing from 1953 to 1971.

Stout farmed a 55-acre farm in Connecticut named PovertyHollow.One year,shewa sgrowing

impatient after waiting daysfora plowman toshow up and ready the fields for planting. She took a long second look at her thriving asparagus bed, which hadn't been tilled in more than 10 years, and decided to experim ent.

She had spread mulch over hergarden in the previous fall. She raked ofF an area of decomposing leaves and hay and was so impressed with the soil that she dropped seeds of peas and spinach, then covered it lightly with a little loose, coarse hay. After germination occurred, she pulled the mulch closer to the plants to keep weeds down and hold in moisture.

Her success in her method of mulching to control weeds, improve soil health and eliminate the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers became wellknown in the world of academia as well as put into practice by the home gardener.

Stout was probably the first to advocate using layersofnewspaper as aweed barrier.She also advocatedcoverings ofbales ofhay over cold crops for harvest all winter. Neighbors laughed at her craziness, butafterseveralyearsofobserving her success, they acknowledged she was on to a new method of gardening.

You can't think of gardening in the '60s without Rachel Carson coming to mind. Carson wrote an explosive book warning ofthe dangers ofinsecticides.

Her best-selling book, "Silent Spring," was published in 1962, welcomed by many for bringing the issue forward and criticized by many for such "ridiculous" ideas.She charged that theso-called "careful"use of insecticides was spreading poison beyond where they were originally used. She cited examples of bird kills after aerial spraying and the contaminated waterways caused by runofF from fields.

Her concerns, and the popularity of the book, led to government hearings and the formation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

In the 1980s, the resurgence ofbackyard vegetable gardening began, and it has only increased since.

The rest, as they say, is history.

The annual Home and Garden Show will be held today at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds.

This show is sponsored by The Union Democrat and gives businesses a chance to display and demonstrate their products for home improvement (see story, PageAl). Some of these vendors will offer drawings for merchandise and services.

The UCCE Central Sierra Master Gardeners of Tuolumne County will have a booth focusing this year on lowwater-usage demonstrations. This is a good chance to learn about new ways to conserve water. Now that Gov. Jerry Brown has declared water rationing, it behooves us to implement as many water-savingmeasures as possible to help our gardens survive the continuing drought.

There will be a demonstration on how to install ollas in the garden to save water. An olla is an unglazed clay pot fired at a low temperature. This allows the pot to remain porous. The olla is buried in the ground with neck exposed and periodically filled with water. The water seepsintothesoilataratethatprovides adjacent plants with a constant water source at the roots

How to install a drip system for watering will also be demonstrated. This system funnels water directly to the plant rather than watering the whole area around it, as is done with hoses and sprinklers.

The Master Gardeners will be happy to answer questions about insects and

how to identify them. There will be examples ofbees,beetles,good bugs and bad bugs. This is very important for determining which bugs to get rid of and which ones to keep because they benefit the garden. The University of California Integrated Pest Management program, www.ipm.ucdavis.edu, offers suggestionsto reduce pesticide use and help protect our water sources from contamination by chemicals.

The Master Gardeners will also demonstratehow to instal l gopher cages around plant roots to keep the pesky critters away from newly-planted trees and shrubs.

Stop by the Master Gardener booth and pick up information cards on pest control methods and water-saving steps, composting and many other gardening tips. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about gardening.

Chinese Camp School students students (from left) David Lunt, Jerry Quinn Alcorn, Sebastian Pelayo Pelayo, Esme Uriostegui, Kevin Quinn Alcorn, Jesse Moreno, Jose Amaral, Nick Calles, Hannah Sousa, Nicholas Nettleton and Josh Smith take a break from birding at Red Hills. The students were guided by Central Sierra Audubon Society members (right side of photo, from left) Pamela Blair, Jeanne Ridgley and John Turner. Not pictured is David Harden of the Audubon Society.

Students get lesson on birding Central Sierra Audubon Society members taught Chinese Camp School students a lesson or two on birding March 27 in the Red Hills.

"It'sa splendid time of year to check out this area, as the water is still running, the bird population high in numbers, and the wildflowers are in full splendor," said teacher Sheri Betz.

"Since the fall o f 2 011, my students have had the privilege

of partnering up with the local Audubon club in maintaining an unofficial bird inventory in a particular area of the Red Hills," Betz explained.

Students from Betz's fourththrough sixth-grade class get together with Audubon members once in the fall and once in spring to track and observe seasonal and climatic fluctuations of area bird populations.

"Within the first hour of our bird watching on March 27, we logged 20 different species including the Western kingbird, Western bluebird, and a Northern mockingbird," Betz said.

In previousyears,the class has seen exciting species flying overhead, including bald and golden eagles, sandhill cranes, and even a fiock of American white pelicans.

Avision of the future of the Stanislaus National following the 2013 Rim Fire will be presented at 2 p.m. today at the Tuolumne City Museum.

Georgia Dempsey, of the U.S. Forest Service, a member of the Rim Fire recovery team, will give the 40-minute Power Point presentation, followed by a question and answer period.

The program will highlight restoration work planned for meadows, reforestation efforts and issues such as wildlife habitat, fire resiliency and water resourcesas wellas noxious weed abatement within the fire area.

According to Dempsey, there are a number of ecological projects underway within the 257,000 acres of the historic burn, the third largest in California's history.

Most ofthe recovery efForts are focused on private land within the Stanislaus National forest.

The Forest Service is seeking public input in a series of forums on their plansfor recovery and reforestation efforts.

Some areasarealready experiencing the return of wildlife and wildflower response in some areas can be prolific.

Without the competition for sunlight and water &om trees and undergrowth, wildfiowers often fiourish abundantly where the fire didn't burn too hotly.

Admission is free. The museum is at the corner of Carter and Bay streets in Tuolumne. Refreshments will be served following the program.

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

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

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.com

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 a 7 —You could find yourself inclined to go along with the crowd. That's okay, as long as you stay true to yourself. Don't worry about money, but don't spend much either. Ask teammates to bring what you need. Provide motivation.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):Today is a 7 — Finish what you're working on. A romantic fantasy could get dispelled by cold, hard facts. Consider what you love about your career, and plan for more of that. Beat the competition with better service. Friends are there for you. Give thanks.

Gemini (May 214une 20):Today is a 7 — Iron out a scheduling conflict. Social expenses may be higher than expected. Don't squabble. Resolve details later. Go farther with help from friends. Send out a scout, before deciding whether to go. Perform acts of kindness.

Cancer (June 21 July 22): Today is a 7 — Don't discuss m oney yet.

Miscommunications make you lookbad.Keep it simple. Limit your guest list, or make it a potluck. Quick service grows your reputation. Track the budget today, and tomorrow and avoid a mishap. Keep your promises.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):Today is a 9 — Don't believe everything you read. Make love, not war. Use diplomacy and tact with a partner today and tomorrow. That could seem challenging. Stay out of an argument that doesn't concern you. Consider the children. Showyour appreciation.

Today in history Today is Saturday, April 11, the 101st day of 2015.

There are 264 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On April 11, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln spoke to a crowd outside the White House, saying, "We meet this evening, not in sorrow, but in gladness of heart." (It was the last public address Lincoln would deliver.)

On this date: In 1899, the treaty ending the Spanish-American War was declared in effect.

In 1921, lowa became the first state to impose a cigarette tax, at 2 cents a package.

In 1945, during World War II, American soldiers liberated the notorious Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald inGermany.

In 1955, the film drama "Marty," starring Ernest Borgnine, was released by United Artists.

In 1965, dozens of tornadoes raked six Midwestern states on Palm Sunday, killing 271 people.

In 1970, Apollo 13, with astronauts James A. Lovell, Fred W. Haise and Jack Swigert blasted off on its ill-fated mission to the moon.

In 1979, Idi Amin was deposed as president of Uganda as rebels and exiles backed by Tanzanian (tan-zuh-NEE'-uhn) forces seized control.

In 1989, Mexican officials began unearthing the remains of victims of a drug-trafficking cult near Matamoros; one of the dead was University of Texas student Mark Kilroy, who had disappeared while on spring break. (Several cult members were later convicted of premeditated murder and sentenced to 50 years in prison.)

very commonly (6.4 percent of men worldwide have taken steroids, with 18 percent ofrecreational and 13 percent of professional athletes having done so). They have the potential for serious side effects, and when purchased from Internet suppliers, the quality, amount and even the type of steroids are unknown.

Most of the OTC supplements sold as nonsteroid performance enhancers (there are many) probably are ineffective — with a few exceptions, such as creatine (which has some beneftts in men under age 36) and caffeine (which helps a little in endurance events). If you really want to increase muscle bulk, I suggest you earn it the old-fashioned way: through gradual increase in resistance training. More resistance tends to lead to larger muscles, but it's important to build up slowly to avoid injury.

weight gain in almost everybody.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I took your advice on exercising, and switched to lighter weights and more repetitions.

I now have no more strains or pulled muscles. I do nine exercises, 30-40 repetitions two to four times a week.

My primary doctor won't prescribe steroids for me. Are there any overthe-counter artiftcial steroids available? I would like to add a little bulk.

I'll be 75 next month.— J.B. ANSWER: I a gree completely with your primary care doctor, and recommend strongly against the use of anaboli csteroidsforthe purpose of performance enhancement or to gain muscle bulk. Testosterone and other anabolic steroids are used for men who can't make adequate amounts, Readers may write Dr. Roach, M.D., especially those with symptoms. at P.O.

Yoga has many health benefits in all its forms DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 60 years old, with high blood pressure and history of TIA. I stopped smoking five years ago and gained 50 pounds.

I eat healthy and am on the treadmill 30 minutes five times per week. I am fairly active otherwise, but am not losing weight. My doctor says vigorous cardioexercise is a no-no for m e because of the TIA. My friends and family say yoga is good for high blood pressure and anxiety. Would it be a good weight-loss program for me as well? — C.B. ANSWER: Yoga has many ben-

Communication key even in long-lived marriage DEAR ANNIE: Why is it t h a t I know six women who are divorcing their husbands? Why are there so many middle-aged men newly divorced?Why does ittake a divorce to wake guys up?

I'm 47and have been married to my husbandforalmost 25 years.He is a good dad. He can fix almost anything.

But the older he gets the more he is happy to sit on the couch and let life go by while I take care of everything.

I'm tired of it. Romance is zero. Women like some romance before sex. When I exaggerate my feelings about this, he will question me, but won't reciprocate.

It's so hard to carry the burden of this relationship alone. What does this teachour children about the role ofa husband? —FEELING UNAPPRECIATED AND UNLOVED DEAR FEELING: We're not sure what you mean by "exaggerate your feelings."Do you actually point-blank tell him what you

Virgo(Aug. 23$ept. 22):Today is8 7 — Begin a busy, two-day phase. Get the family to help. Track income and expenditures. Decline extraneous activities. Your advisors contradict each other. Don't bet money on either. A female delivers the goods. Put love into your work.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Today is a 6 — Accept 8 challenge: Go for fun, play and ease today and tomorrow.

Ignore circumstances that would normally hook you.

Changing your mind could drive your partner nuts. Defuse a tense situation with humor. Enlist their support. Demonstrate your devotion.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Today is a 7 — Technical difficulties arise at home. Don't be hasty with a complicated task. Replace something before it breaks. Quickly fix a leak.

Stay in communication with loved ones. Obligations could force 8 delay. Work out an understanding.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dm. 21):Today is a 9 — A message changes your plan. Save your insights for a willing audience. It could get romantic if you let it. Blocked communications could disrupt the fun. Conditions seem financially unstable. Get a deal in writing. Listen more than speaking.

Capricorn (De:. 224an. 19):Today is a 9 — A home repair or renovation could go over budget, with domestic routines temporarily disrupted. Keep close track of the numbers. It's not a good time for financial risks, travel or expansion. Clear out clutter. Discover a treasure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is a 6 — Slow down and watch the road to avoid an accident. Listen, but don't get stopped by a critic. Your words may not match your personal values. Enjoy peace and quiet. Home and family provide the love you need.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):Today is a 7 — Let ideas percolate. Confirm that instructions are clear. Sort through your treasures. It's getting easier to stick to your budget.

Express your affection. Increase your savings. Save more than you spend. A confusing situation is oppressive.

Mini mystery is finally revealed

Raymond Chandler said, "At least half the 4 K J 1 09 mystery novels published violate the lawthat East the solution, once revealed, must seem to be 4763 inevitable."

VAQ854 V962 Thisweek's deals have had a common I Jg theme, which will now be revealed — and 4 865 3 2 it will definitely not seem inevitable. In each column, South has been in four of a major. Five times, declarer had to play carefully to succeed, V KJ 10 and onetime he had no chance againstbest I 742 defense. But in all of the layouts, three no-trump would have been either laydown or less taxing.

4AQ However, when we find a major-suit fit, we typically go for that strain. When to prefer no-trump Vulnerable: Neither is very difficult to ascertain.

I n today's deal, how should South play in four S o ut h We s t No r t h East I'T spades after West leads a low diamond?

D bi. P a s s In the bidding, North was right to make a 2V Pass 34 Pass takeout double, despite the lack of a fourth 44 Pass Pa s s Pa s s spade. South's two-heart cue-bid was purely point-showing, announcing at least12. He could have had any hand distribution. North bid the first four-card suit he reached as he mounted the bidding ladder. South jumped to four spades to confirm at least a five-card suit and extra values.

West found the best lead, the diamond three. The bidding marked West with the spade king, heart ace-queen and diamond king. So South had to make sure that East could not gain the lead for a heart shift. Declarer won with dummy's diamond queen, then ran the spade queen. West took the trick and led a second diamond, but South won with dummy's ace, drew trumps, and cashed the clubs to take 10 tricks: four spades, two diamonds and four clubs.

Canha hit his first major league home run to back a three-hit shutout by Drew Pomeranz and two relievers, and the A's beat the Seattle Mariners 12-0 on Friday night.

Overall, Canha is hitting .500 (7 for 14) with six RBIs. "It'spretty unbelievable for a number of reasons," Melvin said. "He's earned his time, no doubt. He's swinging the bat great for us."

Canha, who came within inches of hitting a grand slam on Wednesday, went 3 for 5. He reached on an infield single and scored on Ben Zobrist's double in the first. His homer off Walker in the second came on a 2-0 pitch and landcd halfway up the bleacher seats in left.

"It's three games," Canha said of his start. 'Tm just trying to take it one day at a time. When you're locked in, it doesn't matter who you face sometimes."

Ike Davis drove in four runs and Sam Fuld added threehits for Oakland.

Trivia Answer: May 31. This date does not include averages from the summer leagues which is usually im-

mediately at the conclusion of the summer league. In other words, April 15, averages no longer exist.

Pitchers rule early, shutouts pile up all over (AP) — By the time the San Francisco Giants eked out a run in the 12th inning, it was too late. The brand new scoreboard at Petco Park had already run out of room for more zeros.

And then the two teams played another 1-0 game Friday night.

Seems like a pretty common problem all over the majors.

After Friday's games, there have been 17 shutouts in 61 m ajorleague games this sea-

Monday opener. Then Trevor Bauer and the Cleveland bullpen didn't give up a Houston hit Thursday until Jed Lowrie homered with one out in the ninth.

A familiar story in many places.

Max Scherzer pitched nohit ball into the sixth in his Washington debut, Sonny Graytook a no-hittryinto the eighth for Oakland.

"It's a small sample size and thereare a lot of different factors, I guess," Nationals son. closer Drew Storen said.

"I think it's true that pitchersare ahead of hitters coming out,"Washington manager Matt Williams said. "I think weather has something to do with it. Standing up there with a piece of wood in your hand and having it be 40 degrees and misting is not conducive to offense. It just isn't."

Adjusting the approach New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi says the lack of scoring affects how he runs a game.

"I've talked about it a lot, there's less runs in the game now, and I think you do have to manage difFerently," he said.

"I've gotten a lot of these guys to swing at me. I just figured keeping the ball down in the zone, kept them off balance, mixing the ball in and out.

THEUMO NDEMOCRAT

CHILOQUIN, Ore. (AP) — Tribes are ~ the migration route of Klamath Basin salmon with a 260-mile relay run &om the ocean to a tributary that has not seen a salmon in a cen-

tury.

RunnersstartMay 29 at the mouth of the Klamath River in Northern California and finish June 1 in Chiloquin, Oregon, on the Sprague River.

Runners will pass dams slatedfor removal years ago to allow salmon to reach their old spawning grounds, but which remain in place due to political opposition.

The Klamatb, Karuk, Yurok and Hoopa Valley tribes are inviting the public to the run, and a salmon bake at the end.

Klamath Tribes spokeswoman Taylor David says if the salmon cannot make the journey physically, it is the responsibility of people to lead the way spiritually.

The Sonora High Wildcats coedtennisteam defeated the Calaveras Redskins Thursday in a come-from-behind style at San Andreas.

To claim the 5-4 win, Sonora finished with two, mustwin matches. Sonora's No. 2 boys doubles team, Ross Irwin and Duncan Ragland, played in an intense supertiebreaker victory, 3-6, 6-1, and 11-9, over Ben Maring and Liam Smith.

Sonora's Zach Whitmer and Sabrina Skiba emerged victorious,6-4, 6-4, after a hard-fought mixed-doubles

match over Redskins Darrius Vaughn and Summer Schulz.

The earliest match pitted the only two undefeated players in Mother Lode League as No. 1 boys, Sonora's Spencer Lyons against Calaveras' David Jackson.

Jackson had yet to lose a single game in league play, but lost four in the first set to Lyons but still prevailed 6-4. Jackson won the second set 6-1.

Sonora's No. 1 girls' player, Makenna Klatt, lost her match against powerful Calaveras groundstroke player Kaylyn Hedstrom, 6-1, 6-2.

Sonora's No. 2 boys' player, Augustin Gayar d efeated Tomo Clark, 6-4, 6-1. No. 2 Wildcat girls' sophomore Sabrina Truong gutted out a tense 6-4, 4-6, 10-9 tie-break win over Shaylyn Redman.

Sonora's No. 1 girls doubles team of Hannah Smithand Savannah McClintock lost a hard-fought match against Brandi O'Neill and Priscilla Martinez, 6-3, 6-4. Even with the loss, Sonora kept the overallscore even at3 apiece after boys' No. 1 doubles team,Sammy Page and Louie Bouchet won over Redskins

Chance Tanner and Giovanni Airola, 7-6, 4-6, and 10-9.

The Sonora No. 2 girls doubles Celia Cotrone and Bailey Johnson lost a tiebreaker to Gina Ballardand Hannah Buck 5-7, 6-1, and 6-10, leaving Sonora trailing in the match 4-3 going into the last two must-win doubles match-

New Zealander Andrea Hewitt was fourth Saturday, two minutes behind.

Jorgensen's eight consecutive wins is the longest streak of any elite woman since the World Triathlon Series began.

The 28-year-old &om Waukesha, W i s consin, hasn't been beaten in nearly a f u l l c alendar year and has emerged as the clearfavorite for next year's triathlon at the Rio Olympics.

Her last non-winning finish came in the Cape Town triathlon last April 26 when she was third.

"I don't think you ever have a perfect race, but I was certaMy thrilled to come out of the water and

be in the &ont pack right away," Jorgensen said on the ITU website.

"One, two, three for Team USA; I don't think you can get any better standing on the podium and looking over and seeing the other two girls and hearing the national anthem, we could not ask for anything more."

Pouncey agrees to $52.2Mextension MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Dolphins' Mike Pouncey has agreed to terms on a $52.2 million, five-year contract extension that makes him th e N F L's highest-paid center.

The deal averages $10.4 million per year. Pouncey, who is going into his fifth season with the Dolphins, had been due to earn $7.4 million in 2015, the final year of his original contract.

Pouncey was involved in the Dolphins' bullying scandal in 2013 but is a two-time Pro Bowl player.

He missed the first four games of the 2014 season following hip surgery, yet still made the Pro Bowl as a guard.

He was a Pro Bowl center in 2013 and is expected to move back to that position this season.

Frank Kaminsky of national runner-up Wisconsin and Breanna Stewart of three-time national champion C o n necticut have won John R. Wooden Awards as national college basketballplayers of the year.

They received their trophies Friday night during the first College Basketball Awards at the Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles.

For Kaminsky, it was the last in a raft of player of the year awards the senior center picked up this season. His name was an-

nounced by Greg Wooden, a grandson of the late UCLA coach. Earlier in the evening, Kaminsky won the Kareem AbdulJabbar Center of the Year trophy.

Davis didn't attend the voluntaryoffseason program last year, but has changed his stance this spring. He and veteran safety Antoine Bethea each referenced the surprising retirement of five-time All Pro Patrick Willis affeting them and wanting to make every season — and every snap-

count.

"I want to get better, I want to win, I want to develop some chemistry among my teammates," Davis said. "You just never know when this game is over for you. Patrick Willis put

3ordan Spieth making Masters look like child's play AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP)Jordan Spieth is making the Masters look easy.

He opened with a 64 despite making a bogey at the easiest hole on the course. He followed with a bogeyfree 66 in which he misseda pair of6-foot birdie putts. He still broke the 36-hole Masters record that had stood for 39 years. His five-shot lead matched another Masters record.

For two rounds, he has 15 birdies, one bogey and no worries.

The planFriday afternoon for the 21-year-old Texan was to hang out with his family and some high school friends from Dallas, "taking it easy and hopefully just acting like nothing's going on."

Don't be fooled. He knows exactly what's h appened at Augusta National. And he knows the hard work is about tostart.

"This is just the halfway point," Spieth said.

He was at 14-under 130, a two-day total matched by one three other players in major championship history

and breaking the Masters mark setby Raymond Floyd in 1976. His five-shot lead over Charley Hoffman looked even l arger zE~~ considering that Spieth was a runner-up in his Masters debut a year ago, and he came to Augusta this year as thehottest player in the game.

It sure got the attention of the best player in the game.

Rory McIlroy went from trying tocomplete the career Grand Slam to trying to

A ugusta National for t h e first time since 2011. He had a 69 and joined McIlroy at 142, only his outlook was more upbeat.

"I'm still r i ght t h ere," Woods said. "I'm 12 back, but there's not a lot of guys ahead of me.And with 36 holes here to go, anything can happen - '96 proved that. So we have a long way to go."

He was referring to Greg Norman losing a six-shot lead on the final day in 1996.

Spieth might find comfort

after a 40 on the front nine.

He rallied with a 31 on the back nine to make it easily, though he was still 12 shots behind Spieth.

"It's really, really impressive," McIlroy said. "I think a few guys can still catch him.

It will take, obviously, something extraordinary from myself to get up there, but

The three other players who had afi ve-shot lead after 36 holes at AugustaHerman Keiser in 1946, Jack Nicklaus in 1975 and Floyd in 1976. All went on to win.

Spieth sure looked like a winner, even though it was just Friday. The fans treated him like one.

They rose to their feet and applauded when Spieth walked onto the 12th tee, and for the next two hours, ovations greeted him on tee boxes and greens. The red number next to his name on the leaderboard — 14-under

"I got standing ovations walking to multiple greens," Spieth said. "I mean, that's something you ca n o n ly dream about. It's F riday, too. I'd like to have the same thing happening on Sunday.

Got a lotofwork to dobefore that happens."

Hoffman tried to keep pace with Spieth and ran off three birdies on the back nine until closing with a bogey for a 68.

He was five shots behind at 135, a score that would have been leading at 36 holes in the last three Masters. Hoffman didn't care about that.

"It's this year. It's not any other year," he said. "I'm just playing golf and I've only played 36 holes. And we've got a lot of golf left."

Dustin Johnson opened with a double bogey, and then became the first player in Masters history to make three eagles in one round. A bogey from the trees on the last hole gave him a 67, and he was seven shots behind, along with Justin Rose (70) and Paul Casey (68). Phil Mickelson (68) was eight behind.
