Lee Dennis says it could cost as much as $10,000 to remove all of the fallen pine treesfrom her half-acre property off Leisure Drive near Twain Harte.

Over the past two years, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. crews have chopped down about 30 large, drought-stricken pines on Dennis' property that were threatening critical power lines. Though the company will cover the cost of falling the dead or dying trees, the homeowner is responsible for paying to have them hauled away.

Recent aerial studies conducted by the U.S. Forest Service have found millions of dead or dying trees in the central and southern Sierra Nevada caused primarily by drought-rel ated bark beetle infestation.

The TuolumneCounty Board ofSupervisors on Tuesday discussed ways of potentially helping private property owners deal with the growing issue.

One problem is that the cost to have the trees removed can be too high for some homeowners to bear themselves — Dennis, 66, said she was recently quoted at $1,200 per truck load. to process the timber are reportedly inundated due to salvage logging from the 2013 Rim Fire.

After he retired, Jim bought a salmon flshing trawler berthed in Moss Landing and flshed commercially for well over 10 years. He occasionally brought along his children and grandchildren who knew enough to stay out of grandpa's way as he skipped about the deck like Popeye, putting out a dozen lines, both hydraulic and pole-baited. Jim caught many large salmon, which were frequently attacked by sea lions while still on the line requiring him to defend his hooked prizes by unloading salt-laden ammo from a shotgun. He did all of this regularly into his 70s.

Jim was a member of SIRs in Sonora, loved to play bingo in the local casinos and had breakfast daily with his many friends at Perko's until his healthdeteriorated.

Jim leaves his wife of 45 years, Ramona A. Oxley; his four children, Christopher "Kip" Oxley, Shari Lyons (Dr. Rob Lyons), Lydia Kelley (Mel Kelley) and Marcy Oliver; his nine grandchildren, and his 11 great-grandchildren.

Jim is preceded in death by his son, Richard Martinez; his parents, Frankel and Martha Marling Oxley; his brother Ben Allan, and sister, Maxine.

As per Jim's wishes, he will have a private burial in the family plot in St. Patrick' s Cemetery.

care, taxes, campaign finance, international trade, abortion and the Iraq war. Gun control? Not so much.

"Bernie Sanders, Gun Nut" was the headline in the liberal online publication Slate. After the Sandy Hook massacre, other progressives called for tough new restrictions on firearms, but Sanders disagreed.

"If you passed the strongest gun control legislation tomorrow, I don't think it will have a profound effect on the tragedies we have seen," he said.

The obvious explanation for this anomaly is that

p/

he comes from Vermont, a state that is 95 percent

white and 61 percent rural, with a lot of hunters.

But it could also be because Sanders has actually bothered to learn from his unusual state's unusual experience.

Vermont has some of the loosest gun laws in America. The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gives it an "F." The state requires no background checks for private gun sales, permits the sale and possession of "assault weapons," and allows concealed guns to be carried in public — without a license.

After the fatal on-air shooting of a TV reporter and her cameraman in Roanoke, Va., last month, blame was heaped on America's permissive firearms policy. "There are too many guns, and too little national will to do anything about them," asserted an editorial in The New York Times. Democratic politicians and commentators said the murders proved the need for more restrictions on guns.

But did they? Vermont isn't much difFerent from a lot of states in the regulation of these weapons.

But it's very different in the volume of bloodshed.

In 2013, it had the third-lowest homicide rate in the country — less than one-sixth that of Louisiana.

Utah, which also got an "F" on its laws from the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, had the fourth-lowest homicide rate. These places refute the belief that loose gun rules and high ownership are bound to produce frenzies of carnage.

It's true that many states have a lot of guns and a lot of killings. But that doesn't mean the former causes the latter. It's just as plausible that high murder rates lead more residents to buy guns, in self-defense.

Likewise, maybe some people are violent because they haveguns. Or maybe they have guns because they' re violent.

More guns equals more murders? That's not quite how it works. A 2004 report by a National Academy of Sciences panel said the evidence does "not credibly demonstrate a causal relationship between the ownership of firearms and the causes or prevention of criminal violence or suicide."

Commentators regularly remind us, of course, that America stands out among advanced nations for its permissive gun laws and its abundant gun violence. But the international data doesn't prove what they think it does.

Britain is often cited for having few guns andtherefore — few gun murders. As Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck noted in his 1997 book, "Targeting Guns," Britain also has a lower rate of murders with hands and feet. But "no one is foolish enough to infer from these facts that the lower violence rates were due to the British having fewer hands and feet." Homicide is rare in Israel and Switzerland despite widespread public access to lethal weaponry.

Many of the comparisons with other countries rely on sketchy data about the prevalence of guns.

In a forthcoming paper, Kleck and Tomislav Kovandzicofthe University ofTexas atDa llas looked at 55 countries more rigorously and found that if you accountfor "other factors that affect homicide, including some cultural differences, there is no significant association between gun levels and homicide rates."

Cultural differences? Turns out they make all the difference. A lot of factors go into how often people attack each other. Where citizens are sober and peaceable, they rarely kill each other — with guns or anything else.

Where citizens prefer to settle disputes with force,ofcourse,guns are exceptionally effective for killing. In a society with some 300 million of them in private hands, though, getting rid of guns is a fantasy. It makes sense to bar people with criminal records or mental illness from buying firearms legally. But keeping guns away from nonviolent people achieves nothing.

The left-wing magazine Mother Jones has compiled a database of all the shootings that have killed four people or more, going back to 1982. Sanders can probably tell you how many of them occurred in Vermont: zero.

GUEST COLUMN

Clarence Thomas: Defender of the Constitution Black lives matter, unless you' re Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The left is renewing its venomous, racist attacks on Thomas in the aftermath of his dissent in the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling for gay marriage.

Actor George Takei smeared Thomas as a "clown in black face." The Huffington Post called his dissent "beyond ridiculous" and tarred him as a hypocrite for opposing a court-created "right" to gay marriage: "Clarence Thomas is married to a white woman — something that would be illegal today, if it weren't for the Supreme Court's historic Loving v. Virginia ruling." As if his personal life is fair game.

Last Friday, in another low blow, New York Times reporter Adam Liptak portrayed Thomas as a lightweight, whose opinionsare cutand pastejobs from briefs submitted to the court. But in truth, all the justices refer liberally to briefs. Thomas borrowsabout 11.3 percent of hisjudicial prose from briefs, but Justice Sonia Sotomayor lifts 11 percent and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg lifts 10.5 percent. It's not "cribbing" or plagiarism, as Liptak's hatchet job infers, but simply the way decisions

riage should be decided by state legislatures rather than enshrined as a right by the Court.

Thomas is no homophobe. In 2003, when the court struck down a Texas ban on samesex sodomy, Thomas expressed his personal disagreement with the law, calling it "uncommonly silly." He said, "If I were a member ofthe Texas Legislature, Iwould vote to repeal it." But he explained that it was up tothe legislature,notthe court,to right that wrong.

That's the same argument he made in Obergefell v.

Columnist Maureen Dowd said she was "disgusted at someone who could benefit so much from affirmative action and then pull up the ladder after himself." But Thomas had learned the hard way that affirmative action can hurt recipients. After Yale Law School, prestigious law firms didn't want to hire him because they assumed he hadn' t really done the work.

During confirmation hearings, Thomas fended off hostile questions about accusations of sexual improprieties with Anita Hil, and his insistence that upholding the Constitution is better than adhering to precedents that violate it.

"I don't have it," she said.

"I'm devastated and frustrated.

The board didn't take any actionTuesday but directed staff to come up with a program foraddressing the tree mortality issues.

Some of the ideas discussed includeddeclaring a state of emergency, forming a task forceoflocal stakeholders to tackle the problem and looking for sourcesof funding similarto the assistance provided for residents with failing wells.

"We need to somehow deal with the private lands," said District 2 Supervisor Randy Hanvelt. 'When the fire starts, it doesn't make any difference whether it's public land or private land. These trees are all just fuel."

Deputy County AdministratorTracie Riggs said she spoke last week with Sierra Pacific Industries representatives who told her the company may be able to start taking fallen trees at their Standard-area lumber mill by December.

Representatives from the American Wood Fibers Inc. wood-shavings plant in Jamestown have also said they may be able to take some of the fallen pines, Riggs said.

County Adm i nistrator Craig Pedro said he would use the suggestions from the board in an overall plan to attack the issue, adding that it will likely be similar to what the county is doing to help private residents with failing wells.

"We're going to have to set up a process and machine, and actually coordinate this with people who know what they' re doing in those areas," he said.

No one was injured, but with three homes destroyed and at least nine peopledisplaced, some of them are angry and want answers.

"I want to know why my (expletive) house burned down," Jason Reed, Ryan's father who leases one of the homes that burned, said in an interview in Sonora.'Why did it take so long for them to get there? Are there records that show when they test pressure on the fire hydrants?"

Wendy Hinman, who lived in the same home with the Reeds, was counting her blessings Tuesday as she and her twin daughters collected photos, books and other belongings that did not burn in the fire. She also has questions about the fire.

"I want them to investigate to find

the truth," said Hinman, who heard neighbors talk last week about a barbecue on Chenier's deck. "How did it start? Was it accidental? Who' s responsible for all this damage?"

"I could see flames from the front door," Ryan Reed said. "It was raining embers."

He said he ran back inside, called 911 on the house phone, stomped his feet on the floor to wake up anyone who was downstairs and yelled "Wake uplu to people upstairs. He put on shoes, grabbed his pocket knife and Android phone to call his dad, then ran upstairs because it sounded like no one was moving yet.

He pushed Ryan Scott, Hinman's son, to wake him and started downstairs to wake Amanda, who ran up to wake up Hinman, Ryan Reed said.

"Everybody started dressing real

Hinman went on the back deck to try to hose ofF Chenier's back deck, but it wasn't putting the fire out, Ryan Reed said. He was on the phone with his father, who advised, "Don't waste time trying to put out the fire at Suzie's. Use the hose to wet down the side of our house."

Flames were threatening homes on both sides of Chenier's house.

Jeff Campbell, of Forensic Fire Investigations, was probing the cause of the blaze Tuesday and spent time inside the home coowned by Lynn Miller. Campbell said he was investigating for an insurance company and declined to comment further.

The Reeds lost everything they own in the fire, Jason Reed said.

Glen Croshaw, of Angels Camp, stands in front of Angels Food Market, which his family has owned and operated for eight decades.

Family run grocery store celebrates 80 years

By LYDIA BROWNING The Union Democrat

The family owned Angels Food Market in Angels Camp celebrated 80 years in operation in August.

The market is owned by the Croshaw family, which also owns and operates Sierra Hills Market and Natural Food Store, both in Murphys, and has had four generations involved in the operations.

"I would say it's definitely a milestone for one family to survive that long in this business," said Glenn Croshaw, 86, of Angels Camp.

Croshaw's father, Harry Croshaw, startedthe business in 1935.

Before opening the store, Harry was the manager ofa Safeway grocery store in Lodi. When he noticed that an older candy and drug store was for sale in Angels Camp, he decided he wanted to open his very own store, Croshaw said.

"My fatherwas avery prominent member of the community," he said, noting that his father had been a

Do you despise buying ink for your printer? You are not alone, and Epson might have just the printer you' ve been dreaming of. It comes with enough ink to print 11,000 black pages and 8,500 color.

Distribution Center 14989 Carnage Ave., WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED

Ns~gggg

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

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

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau hOuniondemocrat.corn

Alcohol probably not to blame for leg swelling DEAR DK ROACH: What e6'ect, if any, does alcohol consumption have on swelling in the legs, ankles and feet? I drink only when 1 go out for dinner or have guests, typically a cocktail and a glass of wine; no swelling in those instances.

However,I noticed that after a few days on vacation, when I drank more than two glasses of wine every night, my lower legs, ankles and feet began to swell. Once I returnedhome and resumed no daily alcohol consumption, the swelling abated. So, is there a connection? — BA. ANSWER: The physiology of alcohol is complex,with potentially adverse effects on the heart, the liver and on secretion of anti-diuretic hormone. All of these can effect swelling. However, it is entirely possible, and probably more likely, that it is a combinationoftraveland increased sodium intake that is responsible for your most recent swelling.

Even in healthy young volunteers, alcohol immediately reduces the ability of the heart to squeeze out blood. Usually the heart returns to normal after the alcohol is metabolized, but in some people, the heart

IIVICE

DEAR ANNIE: ARer 14 years of marriage, my husband, "Ron," left me for another woman. Here's how it happened: For several years, friends had dinner with us once a week. One day, they brought along "Fran," a recently widowed woman they took under their wing. Ron initially told me he foundher vulgar,overweight, unattractiveand heavily tattooed.Fran talked nonstop about herself, bragging about her time in a biker club where she enjoyed "getting wasted on drugs and having random sex," a lifestyle she wanted to get back into.

Within weeks, Ron changed his tune about Fran. He decided she was "cool," and he, too, wanted a life that included drugs and random sex.

He and Fran began to text and call each other daily, often right in front of me. Ron began to find fault with everything I said or did, and criticized me to others. He even assaulted me physically and then stopped speaking to me for months. Finally, he left and

In 1935, a Labor Day hurricane slammed into the Florida Keys, claiming more than 400 lives.

In 1963, Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace prevented the integration of Tuskegee High School by encircling the building with state troopers. "The CBS Evening News" with Walter Cronkite was lengthened from 15 to 30 minutes, becoming network television's first half-hour nightly newscast.

In 1969, in what some regard as the birth of the Internet, two connected computers at the University of California, Los Angeles, passed test data through a 15-foot cable.

In 1972, Dave Wottle of the United States won the men's 800-meter race at the Munich Summer Olympics.

In 1986, a judge in Los Angeles sentenced Cathy Evelyn Smith to three years in prison for involuntary manslaughter for her role in the 1982 drug overdose death ofcomedian John Belushi. (Smith served 18 months.)

And here, if you use Stayman, you tell the defenders that partner has four hearts and you have four spades. You are more likely to attract a diamond lead than the major-suit lead that would be almost certain after one no-trump — three no-trump.

Here, if North does not use Stayman, West will probably lead a heart, after which the contract makes easily. Declarer just plays low from the dummy to set up a minimum of two spades, two hearts and five clubs.

After a Stayman auction, West might well start with the diamond nine, which kills the contract. Yes, if he chooses a spade, not a heart, the contract should also fail, but keeping the opponents in the dark is often beneficial.

"3. Do they want to leave a legacy to children, grandchildren or charity? (If the answer is yes, they might have an incentive to leave the money where it is.)"

It's a question of priorities and security, Lozada says.

"Depending on his answers, it may not matter if he pays more in taxes by taking more from his IRA because he may want more income to do more things or just want to spend more with no thought of leaving a legacy."

From what I can understand, income taxes will be due whether you withdraw from the IRA or the non-IRA account. My p ersonal feelingwould be to go ahead and spend more of that $38,000 annual yield from the IRA's — without touching the principal. That' s if there's something that would enhance and benefit you and your spouse's quality of life: improvements on your home, sessions with a personal trainer, a family vacation. You saved and invested your whole working life; retirement is the time to enjoy it.

Raiders go with Howard at RT ALAMEDA (AP)With less than two weeks before the Oakland Raiders' seasonopener, Austin Howard doesn't have much time to ease into his role as the team's starting right tackle.

The job became Howard's when Menelik Watson suffered a season-ending ruptured Achilles tendon injury in Saturday's preseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Howard worked with Oakland's starters in practice Tuesday, two days before he' ll face Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett in the preseason finale for both teams.

It will be Howard's final tune-up before the Raiders open the regular season at home against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Generally the fourth preseason game is used to give the backups and players on the bubble increased playing time while the starters play minimally.

Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio isn't sure how much he' ll play Howard against the Seahawks, even though the 6-foot-7-inch, 330-pound lineman has already played in a team-high 116 snaps this preseason.

&om the goal. Anderson split the defense and took his only shot. The ball sailed up and hit the crossbar and bounced directly down into the Thorsted Field turf and was grabbed by the Modestogoalkeeper.

Modesto then went on a scoring rampage, scoring four more goals in the first half. Down 6-0, Summerville got on the board with 2:00 left to play in the half. Braden Anderson chased down a pass that was lofIed over the Modesto defenders and was able to outrun everyone on the field. From 10-yards out, Andersonputfoot-to-balland shotitpastthekeeper to the bottom le of the goal.

Summerville had perhaps its play of the night with 29 minutes remaining in the game. With the ball in Modesto territory, Braden Anderson lofted a pass to the far goalpost, and McLaurin jumped up, headed the ball, and found nothing but net for the Bears second goal of the night.

"The original cross got deflected out, but we stuck with it," McLaurin said. "Braden crossed it to me and I happened to get inside position on the guy who was guarding me and I was able to put it in. For me, it's more luck than skill. But I give all the credit to Braden Anderson. He's the one that got me the pass."

The Bears scored their third consecutive goal on a breakaway shot from Richardson.

With 24:05 remaining to go in the game, Summerville cut the Modesto lead in half, 6-3.

Summerville added its final score with 4:15 remainingin thegame on a Braden Anderson penalty kick. It was Anderson's second goal of the evening. The Bears outscored Modesto 3-1 in the second half.

"We came out and played really strong in the first half,"Anderson said."As the half went on, we kinda slowed down a little bit, which is understandable. But, we knew that we had to put something in the goal in the first half. By the time the second half came, we just had all sorts of confidence from a good halfbme talk.

We knew what we had to do and it was all about executing in the second half."

"I think that realizing that we are not going to win it all in one night, it's still preseason, we just need to figure out who we are and how to get there," Reel said.

49ERS Continued from PageC1 The 49ers were fortunate in recent seasons to

have an experienced 0-line that had played years together.

"We have brought in a guy late in the year, so it' s going to be a work in progress," Staley said. "It's not like we' ve played five years together. But at the end of the day, you' re responsible for your play on the football field. You' re responsible for what you' re doing out there. And that continuity and all that stuff is sometimes overblown."

Martin and Devey have only lined up next to each other a couple of times.

Devey's p e rformance during a two-minute drill late in the first half Saturday at Denver provided a glimpse of his ability.

"From play one, he got scrappy and I like that," Martin said. "He was going after people, he was trying to blow somebody's head up. Anybody who plays aggressive and nasty like that I want them out there next to me."

Except when they' re in heated card games such as Spades, Go Fish, Tonk or Gin Rummy.

CB Tramaine Brock has a strained hamstring.

Anderson stole the ball and had a breakaway with only the Modesto keeper in &ont of him.

Anderson shot a rocket, but a great save kept the balloutofthegoal.

The Bears defense was still strong, and it was led by senior Ethan McLaurin. With Modesto starting to switch things up offensively, McLaurin held his own and played terrific defense all game.

"I was feeling good out there," McLaurin said. "With hard work and determination, I believe that not just me, but everybody can be successful on the defensive end."

Modesto added to its lead with 19:41 leR in the first half, on a shot that just went inches over the outstretched arms of Hart-McNeal. The only way Hart-McNeal could have stopped the shot is if he was two inches taller.

Asides &om that, it was a perfect shot.

'You just keep encouraging him," Reel said of his goalkeeper. "First of all, nobody else is volunteering to get in there. He's willing to do it and try, and obviously it's not his first position. Positivity is something that we practice.

We are always trying to stay positive with everything we do. We encourage each other and I think that alone goes a long way. He knows that the team has his back and they know that he's doing his absolute best."

"Being down like we were of course gets you down a little bit, but at the same time you have to get over it and move on to the next play," Anderson said.

Down by two,Summerville had another golden opportunity to get on the scoreboard. next game."

The Bullfrogs still posted a 220 with Hannah Ellsworth and Nicole Ayala each earning medalist honors with a pair of 49s.

Also scoring for Bret Harte, Kellie Krpan shot a 57 and Elizabeth Kristo6' shot a 65.

Mode sto Christian had just three golfers and four are requiredfor a complete score. Even with four, the Bullfrogs finished just eight strokes (220-228) behind the Crusaders threesome.

Br et Harte will t r avel again Thursday to take on Calaveras at La Contenta.

It starts with a dominant defense and includes a powerful ground game based on the zone-blocking scheme, all designed to lighten the burden on an aging quarterback.

"John was very unselfish, knowing that his stats wouldn't be the same," former coach Mike Shanahan rid:alled. "Ultimately, he knew quarterbacks get judged by winxiing championships. And I think one of the reasons John is going in the direction he's going in is it's the formula he had for winning the Super Bowl."

The Broncos, who again drafted a defensive playerShane Ray — with their top pick, gave Manning, 39, lots of rest this summer to keep him &esh. The only player who' s been in the league longer is Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri.

While the long-term benefit is supposedly a &esher mind and body in December, things might not be so smooth in September. With four new 0-linemen this season, zero snaps with both of his Pro Bowl receivers this summer and more time off than he's ever taken, Manniiig was understandably

rusty in the preseason and failed to find the end zone. ''Well, maybe it's not what he's used to," Elway said."But I just think that at 39 years old, he can't work like he used to work. And he's got to be able to save that. He may not be as far along as he wants to right now because he hasn't had that work, he' ll be much farther along in December by taking

eight hits in seven innings, struck out eight and walked one.

"I just didn't expect us to be on the losing side of a 2-1 ballgame, but that's the way it goes," Bumgarner said. 'You know it's going to be a tough one, going up against Greinke, and unfortunately they caught more breaks than we did.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy and Jake Peavy, the starting pitcher in the series opener, were both ejected by home plate umpire Mark Winters in the seventh when San Franciscofailed to score with runners on second and

'You don't ever lose hope," Bochy said. aWe're a good

run away &om gettingback in this thing and we' ve done that."

The Giants cut the lead to 2-1 in the eighth on Matt DufFy's RBI single before Luis Avilan relieved Greinke.

The Dodgers turned a stellar inning-ending double play, starting with second baseman Jose Peraza's stop of Brandon Belt's hard-hit grounder and backhanded glove flip to Jimmy Rollins covering at second who then fired to Adrian Gonzalezatfirst.

"He justseems to play fearless, not getting too excited," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of Peraza, who played his fi s game since being called up Aug. 28.

Gonzalez's RBI single gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead with two outs in the third. Joc Pederson homered leading off the seventh, making it 2-0.

"It's 3-2 right there, I don' t want to walk him, and I feel like I' ve got the advantage lefty on lefty," Bumgarner said. "I just went after him and he jumped on it. I had to throw a strike right there and I did. It just wasn't a quality strike, I guess."

Greinke had runners on

Elway added that with a new coaching stat, "there is going to be some growing pains early in the year."

"I think we can still win games aswe're developing the identity," Manning said.

A look at the AFC West: Rough road: The Chiefs signed Jeremy Maclin to upgradean offense thatfeatured zero touchdown catches &om theirwide receivers last season, a big reason they jettisoned Dwayne Bowe and his albatross contract.

Like the Broncos, Kansas City's strength is its defense.

tions of Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree in hopes he can improve on his NFI worst 5.5 yardsper attempt as a rookie.

An improved runninggame behind Latavius Murray also should help take pressure off Carr.

The defense has major questions in the secondary, but should be much better equipped to pressure the quarterback with second-year rusher Khalil Mack playing more as a defensive end.

Charging Chargers: San Diego is a popular pick to unseat the Broncos thanks to the arrival of running back Melvin Gordon, a stout offensive line featuringformer Denver left guard OrlandoFranklin and a contract extension for Philip Rivers.

Gordon is expected to help take some pressure off Rivers, who was sacked three dozen times last season and played through back and chest injuries.

San Diego has consecutive third-place finishes under coach Mike McCoy, including being swept by Denver and Kansas City last season.

"We' ve got to win games in our division to win the division," Rivers said.'You can't go 3-3 or worse in your division games and expect to win the
