Eight of those bridges have been classified as "structurally deficient" or "functionally obsolete" and are scheduled to be replaced. Work should start on the projects by 2016, said Bev Shane, director of the Tuolumne County Community Resources Agency. Not all ofthe bridges scheduled for replacement will be removed completely. The Rawhide Road Bridge in Jamestown is beingconsidered for historic preservation. County officials have proposed building a new two lane bridge parallel to the existing bridge, Shane said. Six morebridges were approved for replacement last year, but work on those projects will not start until at least 2020. The remaining 14 are listed as needing

One aspect of life in southern Tuolumne County is learning to make it on your own. Some purposely seek the remote isolation of towns like Groveland, Big OakFlatand Don Pedro,each separated from the more populated parts of the county by dozens of miles of winding roads, steep hills and vast expanses of open nature. These far-fiung hamlets are home toabout 7,000 people,representing roughly 13 percent of the county's population. As theTuolumne County grand

jury wrote in its most recent re-

port, "The people in this area have learned to take care of themselves; they have built a museum, a library and a skate park with volunteer help and local donations." 'There's a lot of volunteerism and camaraderie when it comes to people wanting to be a part of the community and help in numerous ways," said Craig Maxwell, who has lived in Groveland for 20 years and runs an inn at the historic Sugar Pine Ranch property. However, some who live out there feellike they're underrepresented and underserved.

Nathan Bacon, foreman with Ken's Asphalt of Groveland, fixes broken concrete Thursday afternoon at the Groveland Skatepark. A number of residents are concerned about a lack of services being provided by the county in comparisonto other areas thatare closer to Sonora, such as Soulsbyville, Columbia and Jamestown. "That's fine if you' re not paying taxes, but we pay our taxes," said Patti Beaulieu, who has lived in Pine Mountain Lake near Groveland for 11 years."I can tell you if it wasn't for volunteers in this town, nothing would get done." The issue recently became glar-

ingly evident for Beaulieu, a manager of a thrift store in downtown Groveland. Last month, Beaulieu found a dead raccoon on the sidewalk near the business. She called the after-hours SherifFs Office phone number, but no one answered. She called 911. The dispatcher said the SherifFS Office likely wouldn't be able to do anything about the rotting carcass until Monday. See SERVICES / Back Page

The law is meant to ensure integrity among elected

officials at public meetings. In the letter,Doud said the board's request to have individuals name themselves prior to delivering public comment violates a sectionofthe law pertaining to recorded attendance at meetings.

Mary Rose was born in February of 1934 to Eric and Laura (Pim) Swadell, joining her older brothers, Carl, Eric and Robert. The Swadell family moved to different locations around the world as her father fulfilled his mission as a U.S. Army Chaplin. A strong Christian faith formed the foundation of her upbringing, and thesevalues served her well allthrough her life and as she approached the end of her life.

When the Swadells were stationed in Berlin, the beautiful Mary Rose met and married the dashing young Lieutenant George Shelton in 1951. They commenced a productive and interesting marriage, giving life to Mark, Eric, and Sally Shelton. They had been married 57 years when George passed away in 2011. The Sheltons lived in Modesto most of their lives, interrupted by stints of service with the Department of Defense Dependents' Schools, first in France in 1961 when their children were young, and then again in Germany, in 1979, when their kids were grown. They retired to Twain Harte for 20 years before moving briefly to Samaritan Village. After George's death, Mary Rose returned to live in Modesto where she was healthy, contented, and fulfilling involved in many activities until just weeks before her death. Mary Rose earned her RN and MFCC degrees which certified her for nursing at local hospitals and Hospice, nurturing children as a school nurse in the Modesto City Schools, counseling couples and families as a therapist at Shalom, and finally, as Director of Health Services at Modesto Junior College. Mary Rose always gave wholeheartedly of her exceptional skills and compassionate wisdom as she served her clients, making a concerted effort to not let anyone "fall through the cracks." Mary Rose also volunteered widely for various organizations in the community, including the following: Friends Outside, Hospice, the Gallo Center, Interfaith Ministries, and she was the founder of the Tuolumne County PFLAG Chapter. In their early years together, George and Mary Rose were active members of the Modesto First Christian Church, moving their membership later to the College Avenue Congregational Church. Mary Rose and George traveled to many countries during their marriage, and later, when George chose to stay at home, and after his death, Mary Rose continued to travel far and wide nurturing family relationships and always disproving the image of the "ugly American." Also, Mary Rose played the piano and after retirement, learned to play the ukulele and perform with the Fun Strummers. Mary Rose enjoyed playing Bridge and, as well, reuniting with the many friends she made throughout her life all over the world. Mary Rose Shelton was an informed and passionate steward of the earth. She revered all the living forms on the planet and treated each with respect. She embraced diversity in all the peoples of our world and has inspired others to follow in her footsteps.

Mary Rose is survived by her children Mark, Eric, and Sally, and their wives, Kathleen, Mieko, and Barb Eue. Precious grandchildren include Sarah Carleo, Lea Rose, Alexandra, James, David, Christian, and Maria Shelton. Great grandchildren are Kaya and Rocco Carleo and Ellie Shelton. The graceful spirit and wondrous memories of Mary Rose will live on in all the hearts and minds of those fortunate enough to have known and loved her. A service will be held at College Avenue Congregational Church on Saturday, July 11th, at 4:00 PM. Memorial gifts may be made to the Alexander Cohen Hospice House, 2201 Euclid Ave, Hughson, CA 95326.

GUEST COLUMN

Long wait looms for Republican congress gains in Calif. Few things gall California Republicans more than realizing they hold just 14 of this state's 53 seats in Congress. That's only 26 percent of California's representatives, while the opposition Democrats, with a mere 14 percent more registeredvoters,hold 39 seats,or about

74 percent. The GOP had a big chance last year to remedy this, targeting vulnerable Democrats who won their offices by narrow margins in PresidentObama's 2012 reelection landslide. But Republicans failed. Yes, they ran plenty of close races, but in the end lost every one.

Now it appears the+ have towait at least until 2018 before there's much possibility Californians might become a significant part of the GOPs big overall majority in Congress. How did Republicans blow the chance to oust vulnerable Democrats like Scott Peters of San Diego, Julia Brownley ofVentura County, John Garamendiin the Sierra Nevada foothills, Jim Costa in the Fresno area, Ami Bera in the Sacramento suburbs and Jerry McNerney in the Stockton area. The missed opportunity was partly because ofthe candidates they ran and partl y because the national party didn't fully support what

Thomas Elias candidates it had. The survival of Peters in a San Diego district bordering on Mexico was prototypical. He was opposed by Carl DeMaio, a former city councilman and longtime crusader for tightening public employee pensions. Peters' district was ripe for Republican plucking, having gone forRepublican Mayor Kevin Faulconer by an overwhelming 62 percent in his 2013 special election victory. But eventhough DeMaio ran for mayor in 2012 andhad plenty ofprior public exposure, he was done in when two of his former staA'

members accused him of sexual harassment, a claim debunked months after the election. What couldhave been, maybe should have been, an easy GOP pickup instead became a 6,000-vote reelection forPeters. With the district's populace growing steadily more Latino and the strong likelihood that turnout in 2016 will be well above the roughly 24 percentoflast year — ifonly because the

presidency will at stake — Peters could have a much easier reelection next year. It's much the same for Costa, who was blindsided and almost knocked o6'by a Republican unknown last year, and for McNerney, who also squeaked by narrowly against a littleknown hopeful. If the national party had recruited major figures against them or had simply financed those who did run, those could have been two pickups. But the GOP blew it. Now Costa and McNerney, along with the other Democrats who won by slim margins, figure to get less of a challenge next year for the same reasons Peters will be safer. All will have the advantages of several more years of incumbency, too, to establish ties and loyalties throughout their districts. In many ways, the Republican ineptitude in making congressional inroads in California is emblematic of how they' ve mismanaged things in thisstateforyears,theironly respitein decades being the Arnold Schwarzenegger era, which was mostly a product of his star power as a movie muscleman. The party was proud last year to prevent Democrats from achieving two-thirds supermajorities in both houses of the state Legis-

If you refuse to serve homosexuals do you also refuse to serve adulterers, liars, cheaters, criminals, divorcedindividuals,pornographers,and allother sinners? If so, my guess is that your business was bankrupt from the day one.

For instance, when Hillary was secretary of state, the department authorized$165,000,000,000 in arms sales to 20 countriesthatdonated to the foundation. That was double the amount of the Bush Administration to the same countries. (International Business Times, not Fox News). If a person wanted documentation of the billions and billion of U.S. dollars which ended up in the Clintons' hands, look no further than Peter Schweitzer's book "Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Business Make Bill and Hillary Rich." He documents how the State Department under Hillary operated partially as a "slush fund," albeit high class, for the foundation. Bill's humanitarian trips around the world giving speeches were often in the company of close friends or business associates who had pending interests in those countries.

But that's like a football team rejoicing because it narrowly beat the oddsmakers' point spread, while still losing by three touchdowns. The GOP is far short of the numbers it will need to have any major impact on state policy in any area, and there's little chance it will change anything soon.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hackers stole Social Security numbers, health histories and other highly sensitive data from more than 21 million people, the Obama administration said Thursday, acknowledging that the breach of U.S. government computer systems was far more severe than previously disclosed. The scope of the data breach — believed to be the biggest in U.S. historyhas grown dramatically since the government first disclosed earlier this year that hackers had gotten into the Office

Since then, the Obama administration has acknowledged a second, related breach of the systems housing private data that individuals submit during background investigations to obtain security clearances. That second attack affected more than 19 million people who applied for

top deputies to resign. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, said Archuleta and her aides had "consciously ignored the warnings and fai led to correcttheseweaknesses." "Such incompetence is inexcusable," Chaffetz said in a statement. House Republican leaders — Speaker

John Keny Study: Science lacking on public threatens health risk of fracking boom to quit Iran nuke talks VIENNA (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry threatened Thursday to walk away &om nuclear talks as he signaled that diplomats won' t conclude an a greement with Iran over the coming hours — another delay that this time could complicate American efforts to quickly implement any deal. The Iranians immediately fired back, accusing the US. and its European allies of causing the deadlock. Kerry and other Western officials said Iran still hadn'tmade the tough political decision to roll back its nuclear program. But a senior Iranian official said

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)Some of the chemicals used in California's &acking boom likely pose a risk to public health, and the state for years has failed to track and deal with those potential threats, a state-commissioned study concluded Thursday. The &acking study, required by state lawmakers and carried out by the California Council on Science and Technology and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, urged greater oversight of hydraulic &acturing and other intensive oil field production methods. ''We found practices that we do not think are inherently safe that we think should be made safer," Jane Long, an author of the study and researcher at Lawrence

Livermore National Laboratory, told reporters. "Although air and w ater qualitystudies suggest public health hazards exist, many data gaps remain," the report concluded. Public-health science nationwide and in California in particular is "playing catch up" with the surge in &acking and other intensive oil field production, the study added. Hydraulic &acturing injects chemicals and liquids at high pressure to force oil and gas out of underground f ormations. California i s the country's third-largest oil-and-gas-producing state. Fracking accounted for onefifih of the state's petroleum production in the last decade, and for roughly half of the 300 wells installed monthly

in the same period. All but 5 percent of all fracking in the stateoccurs in central California's San Joaquin Valley.

"This is not open-ended," Kerry told reporters outside the 19th-century Viennese palace hosting the negotiations. "We can'twait forever for the decision to be made.

Imagine Doug and Ruth Eaton's surprise when the Bay Area residents openedtheJune 26edition ofTheUnion Democrat and saw a picture of their son, Dana Eaton, from way back in 1982. Doug and Ruth Eaton lived in Tuolumne County along with their children Dana and Karen f'rom 1979 to 1985 and the couple has been season ticket holders at Sierra Repertory Theatre for 37 years. They come up for each play and stay overnight in Sonora. "We just happened to be up there last Friday (June 26) to see the current play. ARer the play we always stop at Save Mart to get Ben and Jerry's (ice cream) to take back to the motel and get a Union Democrat," Doug Eaton said. Both were shocked to see a picture of their son Dana, from back in the sixthgrade in June 1982. The photo shows Eaton, and another student David Kemp, holding certificates and standing with former Tuolumne County Superintendentof Schools Orville Millhollin and former Tuolumne CountyBoard of Education member Bill Gerber, of Ponderosa Hills.

Gomez wrote to the Assembly Health Committee last month, warning against a state that responds to suffering by "making it easier for people to kill themselves." An archdiocese website urged volunteers to get involved. Using English and Spanish, the Diocese of Orange urged parishioners on its website to write mem-

But in this case the church found itself on the same sideas other interest groups at the statehouse, including t h e Me d ical Oncology Association of Southern California and the Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund, helping tip th e political balance. "It'sa different kind of playing field from abortion and gay rights," said Claremont McKenna College political scientist Jack Pitney. "The church is part of a more powerful coalition."

Pope asks for

pardon SANTA CRUZ, B olivia (AP) — Pope Francis apologized Thursday for the sins and "offenses" committed by the Catholic Church against indigenous peoples during the colonial-era conquest of

theAmericas History's first Latin American pope "humbly" begged forgiveness during an encounter in Bolivia with indigenous groups and other acti vists and in the presence of Bolivia's first-ever indigenous president, Evo Morales. Francis noted that Latin American church leaders in the past had acknowledged that "grave sins were committed against the native peoples of America in the name of God." St. John Paul II, for his part,apologized to the continent's indigenous for the "pain and suffering" caused during the 500 years of the church's presence on the continent during a 1992 visit to the Dominican Republic. But Francis went farther,

and said he was doing so with "regret." "I humbly ask forgiveness, not only for the offenses of the church herself, but also for crimes committed against the native peoples during the socalled conquest of America," he said to applause from the crowd. Then deviating &om his prepared script, he added: "I also want for us to remember the thousands and thousands of priests who strongly opposedthe logic of the sword with the power of the cross. There was sin, and it was plentiful."

After a loss to archrival Kansas City, Madden gave Stabler a chance to show what he could do in practice. Stabler did enough for Madden to start him, and the Raiders beat the

BIUEFS Kings trade Ray McCallum to Spurs SAC RAWENTO (AP) — The Sacramento Kings have traded guard Ray McCallum to the San Antonio Spurs for a second-round pick in next year's draft. The teams announced

the deal Thursday. Sacramento selected McCallum in the second round and 36th overall in 2013. McCallum averaged 6.9points,2.7 assists and 20.7 minutes per game the past two seasons. He started 30 ofthe 68 games he played last season. McCallum became the starter after Darren

Collison sufFered a seasonending core muscle injury and Ramon Sessions was traded to Washington. It was clear McCallum's time in California's capital citycould be ending after the Kings reached an agreement on a one-year, $10 million deal with Rajon Rondo last week. Rondo and Colli son are expected to split time in the backcourt.

FIFA expels Chuck Blazer for life GENEVA (AP) — Chuck Blazer was banned for life by FIFA's ethics committee on Thursday for widespread corruption, finally ending the career of the longtime most senior American in world football. The ban from all football-related duties was a formality after Blazer, a former FIFA executive committee member, pleaded guilty to racketeering and tax evasion charges was unsealed in May by United States f ederal agencies. FIFA's ethics panel made its ruling using evidence from the American federal case which has plunged FIFA and international football into crisis. Blazer pleaded guilty to 10 counts including racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracies and income tax evasion.

He admitted receiving payments in a $10 million bribe scheme to support South Africa's successful bid tohostthe 2010 World Cup. The plot linked Blazer and two other then-FIFA executive committee mem-

bers in r eceiving cash which South African officials asked FIFA to transfer through the governing body's accounts in 2008.

Martin becomes2nd Tour leader ta pull out LE HAVRE, France (AP) — The yellow jersey seems to be an unlucky charm at this Tour de France. German rider T o ny Martin started Thursday's sixth stage in the lead and ended it in the hospital after breaking his collarbone in a crash that he caused near the finish line. He became the second race leader topullout of the race, after Swiss rider Fabian Cancellarafractured two vertebrae in his lower back on Monday. The crash also dragged down defendingchampion Vincenzo Nibali and fellow Tour contender Nairo Quintana, but they escaped with cuts and bruises. Czech rider Zdenek Stybar rode away amid the chaos to clinch his first Tour stage win. While neither Martin nor Cancellara was a contender for the overall vic-

tory, the injuries they sustained highlight how tough this Tour has been already — and thebattered riders haven't even reached the mountains yet. There was intense heat on day 1, ferocious side winds on day 2, a huge crash on stage 3, scary cobblestone sections on stage 4, and lashing rain on stage 5. And on the sixth day, another crash. "This has been like a movie, an emotional roller coaster at this Tour," Martin said.

Last Stabler comeback falls short', not his legend By MARCUS THOMPSON III The SanJose Mercury Netcs

One last time, Ken Stabler kept the play alive. On Thursday afternoon, reports surfaced The Snake had died at 69. But he wasn't going out that easy.

Shortly thereaf- g ter, a report came

the San Diego Chargers early in the 1978 season. But in his typical defiance, Stabler flicked the football forward. It may have looked like a panic move. But the way it bounced around, through hands and ofF divots,before landing in the end zone under the mitts of Dave Casper for the game-winning touchdown, it had to be The Snake's magic. After all, this is the gunslinger behind the "Ghost to the Post." On third-and-long, the game in the waning moments, Stabler lobbed a 42yard pass to Casper — nicknamed "The Ghost" — on a post route, setting up the game-winning field goal and the overtime win. It may have seemed like Stabler overthrew him. But the way the pass veered perfectly away from the defenders to where Casper could track it down, it was clear this was Stabler gut-punching fate again. The Snake built his legend taking down the odds. Stabler had "escapability" before it

out he wasn't dead. And what started as sad news became one final Stabler moment. He was scrambling, slithering and juking, staying alivefor yet another improbable triumph. If there were two minutes left on the clock of his life, surely No. 12 could maneuver his way out of death's grasp. If he was fighting for his life, Stabler — whose combination of accuracy, elusiveness and will pioneered the Raiders' glory years — was no doubt swiiigiiig.

After all, this is the author of the "Holy Roller" we' re talking about. He appeared to be sacked by Leroy Jones and Woodrow Lowe, sending the Raiders to a demoralizing road loss to

was a common trait for quarterbacks. He had swag before it was a cliche. And even after knee injuries took away his runnmg ability, he still had stubbornness to keep him upright. After all, this is the face of the mighty Raiders we' re talking about. Back when Silver & Black was worn by rebels and renegades, Stablerwas the posterboy ofthe franchise. He embodied the spirit that lifted the franchise to cult status, that still resonates today in the Black Hole and in hearts across this nation. Talent blended with toughness, a spoonful of arrogance and a dash of crazy for good measure.

That's how he won the 1974 NFL MVP and the 1977 Super Bowl en route to four Pro Bowls. That's why every quarterback who puts on a Raiders jersey will always and forever be measured by the shadow of Stabler. P erhaps that's why s o many of us wanted it to be false, wanted Stabler to still be alive. Because The Snake dying is a swig of reality we

That heyday, when this franchise was the standard bearer, is fading into history. Stabler was a hero's hero. I was learning to walk when he played his last game for the Raiders. But it didn't take long to comprehend his impacton Raidersfans,hisplace in Oakland sports lore. Not even the grainy footage I' ve seen could obscure his ability. A diehard Raiders fan I know, who played dominoes and downed beers regularly with some of those 70s giants, dubbed Stabler the Raiders' first black quarterback. Stablertranscended politics and race. His resilience and skill spoke a universal language. His bad-boy persona attractedallmanner of people. He may not be in the Hall of Fame, but he is a legend.

"I' ve often said," Stabler's coach John Madden said in a statement. "If I had one drive to win a game to this day, and I had a quarterback to pick, I would pick Kenny. Snake was a lot cooler than I was. He was a perfect quarterback and a perfect Raider. When you think about the Raiders you think about Ken Stabler. Kenny loved life. It is a sad day for all Raiders." At least we got to witness one last Stabler drive. Even if it was just a figment of our hope.

NBA

3ordan's change has some questioning moratorium By TIM REYNOLDS and BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

Doc Rivers gave a quick answer when asked about DeAndre Jordan coming back to the Los Angeles Clippers. "He never left," the coach said. Techincally, that' s true.

The Dallas Mavericks might disagree as they reel &om the fallout of Jordan's Texas two-step, which renewed thedebate about when a deal is a deal, and whether change is needed to the NBA's moratorium period. "From afar, it's a little bit concerning &om a team perspective just because of the precedent. You'd like to think when you look somebody in the eye and shake their hand and say,'We have a deal, 'that you have a deal," Suns general manager Ryan McDonough said Thursday. "But at the same time, you understand that the way the rules are written &om the current moratorium

structure, the agreements aren' t binding until the player puts pen to

paper and signs a contract." The moratorium, starting July 1 and lasting until the salary cap is set for the coming season, could be a hot topic now at NBA meetings in Las Vegas next week. The National Basketball Players Association said it supports the right of both players and teams to consider their options during the moratorium, which is scheduledtolast11daysnextyear. Hey, could beworse.Itlasted allof July when first implemented in 1999. "Everybody realizes it's something that has to be looked at," Brooklyn general manager Billy King said. Jordan formally re-signed with the Clippers on Thursday, ending one of the strangest sagas in recent &eeagent history. He verbally committed to the Mavericks on Friday, then a Clippers contingent arrived at his Houston home Wednesday for what apparently was a last-ditch push to keep him, and the Mavericks lost their man. A handshake deal, in this case, was no deal.

tions understanding that as with any business contract, it's not a deal until the paper is signed," union spokeswoman Tara Greco said. Dallas owner Mark Cuban was predictably unhappy. He got fined $25,000 by the NBA earlier in the week forraving about what Jordan would mean to the Mavericks — he violated a rule of the moratorium by talking about a player who wasn' t under contract — then wound up not getting the deal signed. Cuban turned to social media to vent,never mentioning Jordan by name. "I don't think the time is right to say anything beyond the facts that he never responded to me at all yesterday," Cuban wrote on the Cyber Dust messaging app. "Not once. To this minute I have not heard anything &om him since Tuesday night." That was one of the biggest talking points around the league Thursday: It wasn't so much that Jordan changed his mind, but apparently no one actually told the Mavericks when the rest of the NBA world seemed to be follow-

cWe all walk into these conversa-

ing it in real time on Twitter. Rivers flatly said "no" when asked if Jordan should have told Dallas of his change ofheart. Not everyone agreed. "I don't see anything wrong with changing your mind, but you need to be a man and just tell them why you decided," Miami guard Goran Dragic told The Associated Press. It's impossible to say how much of a domino effect Jordan's last-minute flip affected &ee agency for other &anchises and players. If he had announced early he was staying with the Clippers, teams — including the Mavs — may have changed their strategies. At least six quality big men agreed to deals with other teams after Jordan committedtoDallas,soit'sa safe bettherewas atleastsome rippleeffect in the market &om there. "I think any time something like this happens, there's always going to be talk and there's always going to be talk about rules being changed and things like that," said Tyson Chandler, who left Dallas for Phoenix. "But it was a verbal agreement, so he had

the option to change his mind. That was his decision as a man and that' s something he'll have to stand with." Former NBA executive Stu Jackson wrote on Twitter that change to the moratorium system "is immi-

nent," though nothing is currently planned. The league views the moratorium as a way to ensure that multiple teams can talk to players, rather than one swooping in when the market opens — or earlier, if not playing by the rules — and locking him up immediately. "The moratorium period fairly benefits both NBA teams and players by providing the time to have whatever discussions they deem necessary and the opportunity to consider multiple options before entering into binding agreements," league spokesman Mike Bass said. Free agency started July 1, and players can agreetodealsatany tim e after that window opens. But they could not become official until 12:01 a.m. Eastern time Thursday — the startofthenew league year.

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 call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau hOuniondemocrat.corn

Hubby's mental health change troubles wife DEAR ANNIE: My husband and I have been happily married for 24 years. Itisa second marriage forboth of us. I am 68, and he is 71. We are still working. Fortunately, we enjoy our professions, but my husband will not beable to retire because his former wife receives alimony for the rest of her life. A few years ago, my husband underwent intensive treatment, including chemo, radiation and surgery

and acquaintances. Last night, he held the conversation throughout dinner with his exploits horn 50 years ago. The other guests looked miserable, and I felt unable to change the conversation. He recentl y interrupted

for cancer. It is not curable, and he

a conversation to tell a story about his

returns for tests and treatment every few months. He also sufFers from treatment-related issues that undermine his health. Through all of this, he has been incredibly strong. He has fought bravely and with very little drama. He is my hero. Lately, I' ve noticed some personality changes that make socializing dificult. He has always liked to talk about himself, but he's started to mo-

high school. Our friends waited patiently, then returned to their original topic. I' ve also noticed some memory lapses and worry that it will affect his job. One of his colleagues has commented on his forgetfulness. I hesitate to discuss it with him because I don't want to undermine his self-assurance at work. Depression is certainly a possibility, but he shows no particular signs of sadness or lethargy. What would you suggest set to discover a cousin was planning

nopolize conversations with friends

Annie's Mailbox '~~>

I do? —TROUBLE IN PARADISE DEAR PARADISE: Some ongoing medical treatment can have an effect on one's overall health, including mental health. Also, as your husband gets older,it would not be unusual for him to develop memory and cognitive issues, which can contribute to monopolizing the conversation and focusing on past history. These problems are not going to disappear, and eventually, they will become an issue at his job. It is better to address them now. Suggest toyour husband that he speak to his doctor to be certain he is not having additional side effects from the medication, and to ask how best to stay healthy, both mentally and physically. DEAR ANNIE: I read the letter from "I Picked It First," who named her child "Jane," and was terribly up-

to give her baby the same name. My mother was the eldest child in a family of four. I am the second childand am named "John"in honor of my grandfather. Each of my aunts named one of their boys "John," as well, for the same reason. As a child, I thought it was kind of neat having cousins who had the same name as mine. It matters not to the child. I concur with your response and think the situation should be handled with good humor. A name is only a name after all, especially a first name. — JOHN Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

For chronic nerve pain, enlist neurologist's help DEAR DR. ROACH: Two years ago, my grandfather (a 90-years-young Navy veteran) had a nasty fall antI, in an attempt to break his fall, fractured a bone in his hand. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he was dismissed with the suggestion of a sprain, without any diagnostic imaging. Cut to months of constant pain beforean X-raywas ordered,indicating a poorlyhealed,dramatic fracture that likely led to nerve damage. His intense pain is constant and ongoing. An orthopedist inexplicably recommended carpal tunnel surgery. The pain hasn' t improved atall, and recovery from surgery made his pain worse, leading to a Dilaudid prescription. Though he has an attentive and thoughtful primary care physician, nothing seems to have been able to reduce his pain. Whenever I see him, he tries to mask the pain he is in, and is trying a varietyofhot and cold compresses.The family is at a loss. Do you have any suggestionsastopossiblem edications

ANSWER: Nuts do not cause constipation in most people. Most nuts have modest amounts of fiber, along with protein and fat. Almonds have more than others,so these would be least likely to cause constipation. The eft'ect on the

Keith Roach, M.D. or exerc iseswe could try?— N.I. ANSWER: It hurts me to hear stories like this. I don't know if I can help. The longer the pain lasts, the harder it is to treat, in general. However, if he were my patient, I probably would try some medications that reduce pain 6om damaged nerves, such as amitriptyline and gabapentin, and I certainly would find another hand surgeon. I also might consult with a neurologist, who might be able to precisely identify the source of the pain, which might help the hand surgeon decide how to act. Please let me know if he finds relief DEAR DR, ROACH: Do all nuts cause constipation? — J.R.

Today in history Today is Friday, July 10, the 191st day of 2015. There are 174 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On July 10, 1940, during World War II, the Battle of Britain began as the Luftwaffe started attacking southern England. (The Royal Air Force was ultimately victorious.) On this date: In 1890, Wyoming became the 44th state. In 1925, jury selection took place in Dayton, Tennessee, in the trial of John T. Scopes, charged with violating the law by teaching Darwin's Theory of Evolution. (Scopes was convicted and fined, but the verdict was overturned on a technicality.) In 1973, the Bahamas became fully independent after three centuries of British colonial rule. John Paul Getty III, the teenage grandson of the oil tycoon, was abducted in Rome by kidnappers who cut off his ear when his family was slow to meet their ransom demands; young Gettywas released in December 1973 for nearly $3 million. In 1985, the Greenpeace protest ship Rainbow Warrior was sunk with explosives in Auckland, New Zealand, by French intelligence agents; one activist was killed. Bowing to pressure from irate customers, the Coca-Cola Co. said it would resume selling old-formula Coke, while continuing to sell New Coke. In 1991, Boris N. Yeltsin took the oath of office as the first elected president of the Russian republic. President George H.W. Bush lifted economic sanctions against South Africa.

West should hope that his partner has a doubleton, preferably honor-doubleton. And not to block the suit, West must lead the seven, fourth-highest from his longest and strongest. Here, East should win with his ace and return the suit, which defeats the contract. The defenders must get four spades and one heart. Even if South wins with dummy's spade king and runs diamonds, finessing through East, West can discard two hearts.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 23075 RED CLAY ROAD, SONORA, CA 95370 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee's Sale is estimated to be $125,964.71 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary's bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. 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. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.
