By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

A proposed five-year plan

by Tuolumne Utilities District to raise water rates nearly 80 percent received mixed re-

views from the Sonora City Council at Monday's meeting.

Councilman GeorgeSegarini said he supported the proposed rate increases for water and sewer service, but chided the district for not raising them sooner. The last time similar steep increases were proposed inlate 2011, the TUD Board of Directors revised the plan in response to

widespread public outcry.

"Shame on TUD for not getting this started a heck of a lot earlier than we are now," he said. "I know this has come up in the past and TUD took the option of not raising rates at that time, so it's a catch-up game at this point."

District Interim General Manager Dave Andres gave

rini acknowledged that the increases would hurt some more than others.

"I think this is de6nitely going to be a hard hit for our folks who are on fixed incomes," he said. "This isn't a small increase for them."

Under the proposed fiveyear rate plan, an average customer currently paying about $45 per month for waterwould be paying about $60 in 2016 and about $81.50 by 2020.

Sewer rates would also go up fromabout $35 to $40 per month in 2016, with a roughly $3 increase to the monthly rate each year afierthat through 2020.

Mayor Ron Steam said

he found it unfair that TUD charges the same rates for sewer service per household regardlessof the number of people.

Andres said the district can't depend on charging based off usage because of a presentation to the council the relatively small customsumming up the reasons for er base. The district serves the proposed increases, saying roughly 6,000 residential and that TUD is barely keeping commercial sewer customers, up with operating costs alone as well as about 14,000 water and forgoing much-needed customers.

Andres responded that about $2.8 million per year of the additional $4.2 million per year generated by the increased water rates would go toward improving the district's water system, while about $1.1 million per year would be invested in sewer projects.

One of California's largest logging companies, which owns timberland, operates two sawmills and employs about 300 people in Tuolumne County, has been recognized for helping restore forest-dwelling fishers east of Chico.

Fishers have been hunted for their fur pelts since the 18th century, and they lost more than 250 square miles of habitat in the 2013 Rim Fire, according to state and federal Fish and Wildlife agencies. They have recommended the species be listed as threatened.

Sierra Paci6c Industries, based in Anderson, is billed as a forest products company that owns and manages close to 1.9 million acres of timberland in California and Washington.The company owns about 300,000 acres in Tuolumne, Calaveras and Amador counties.

About 16,000 acres of SPI's timberlands were damaged in the Rim Fire. No SPI land was damaged in the Butte Fire in September.

The company's sawmills are in Standard and Chinese Camp.

Fishers are mammals in a family that includes weasels, mink, martens and otters, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a partner in the project with Sierra Pacific Industries.

A grown fisher,long bodied and short legged with a bushy tail, is about the same size as a large, domestic cat, with light brown to black-brown fur.

"The 6sher's range was reduced dramatically in the 1800s and early 1900s through trapping,predator and pest control,and alterationsofforested habitats brought about by logging, fire, urbanization and farming," federal Fish and Wildlife staff state on a Pacific Southwest Region web page.

The population is threatened now by rodenticide used in illegal marijuana grows that overlap fisher habitat in the Klamath Mountains and southern Sierra Nevada.

In spite of their name, fishers are not known to hunt or eat 6sh, according to the nonprofit Defenders of Wildlife. Fishers do stalk, kill and eat hares, rabbits, rodents, birdsand porcupines.They also eatberries, nuts and insects.

Mark Lathrop / SierraPaci4c Industries

California Department of Fish and Game personnel release a fisher in a Sierra Pacific Industries project area in northern California.

The species name may have started with French trappers more than two centuries ago, who called individual European polecat pelts "fichet," pronounced fee-shay.

Federal Fish and Wildlife staff have proposed listing the West Coast fisher population as threatened under the Endangered

Species Act. In June, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife recommended state Endangered Species Act protection for the Pacific fisher in the southern Sierra Nevada portio n ofitsrange.

In the meantime, Sierra Pacific Industries, state and federal fish and wildlife departments and researchers from North Carolina State University are tracking about 40 fisherswith radio collars released over a threeyear period on SPI lands.

The project areais on a 160,000-acretract of Sierra Pacific Industries property east of Chico, Mark Pawlicki, SPI's director of corporate affairs and sustainability, said.

Some fishers born in the project area have matured to the point where they are now reproducing, according to SPI. The project partners were awarded the Leadership in Conservation Award at the Sustainable Forestry Initiative 2015 Annual Conference in Olympic Valley near North Lake Tahoe.

Sustainable Forestry Initiative is billed as an independent nonpro6t organization that works with conservation groups, communities, resource professionals, landowners and other organizations and people committed to healthy forests, responsible purchasing and sustainable communities.

Sierra Pacific Industries counts itself among the largest lumber producers in the United States.

gaming, what could go wrong?

They worship at the high altar of football. They' re everywhere. I don't give a fig about football, but the cult surrounds me. In the offseason, the devotees were stomping the floor overTom Brady and a football'sairpressure.They demanded to know my opinion on the matter. That I had none amazed them.

The season is in full frenzy, and with it, a new controFIOITIg versy: the explosive growth of gambling on fantasy football.

Run by such corporate giants as FanDuel and DraftKings, dailyfantasy sports are Internet-based games where one assembles a virtual team of real players and bets on how well it will perform.

Football and gambling — two great American addictions working together. What could possibly go wrong?

Lots, mainly because of the supreme confidence of the zealots. They claim to know all the players and coaches, their weaknesses, their strengths, their girlfriends, their concussions. They know exactly which part ofhis hamstrings LeSean McCoy of the Buffalo Bills pulled and what that means for the game. So if anyone can get rich betting on football outcomes, they can, so many think.

A 2006 federal law banned online games of chance but left a loophole for fantasy sports betting, viewing it as a game of skill. My friends who've played say they are competing with so many people and there are so many unknowns in the sport

that winning is basically, excuse the expression, "a crapshoot."

In any case, few anticipated the boom in online sports betting and enormous profits to be made (for the "house," as always). For the month ended Sept. 15, the fantasy sports industry spent more on commercials during the games than pizza and beer companies.

Whether such online fantasy sports are about skill or chance, they are most certainly about competition for the gambling dollar. Many states have banned the game, including, to no one's surprise, Nevada.

The 2006 law was championed by former Rep. Jim Leach of Iowa. Herecently criticized the carve-out for fantasy football as a mistake. "My intent in initiating the law was to constrain a growing gambling ethos in America," Leach said. Right.

Iowa is home to over 20 casinos, making it the 10th-biggest gambling state.

When one puts big-time sports, gambling and online moneymaking together, fraud is inevitable. The FBI and New York attorney general are already looking into the possible use of inside information by employees at these online sports sites to wager at another.

A socio-economic question: We keep hearing about the financial squeeze plaguing America's middle class. Where is all this money for sports coming from?

Americans are being charged huge amounts to watch professional football in person, watch football on pay TV and not watch football on pay TV. (The huge sums that sports channels extort from the cable companies get tacked onto the monthly bills of all subscribers.) Never mind the $75 team sweatshirts and the $50 branded throw blankets.

Now there's all this online betting. The average spending per fantasy player is $465 a year, according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association. If you put $500 a year into an investmentyielding 5 percent,you'd have $7,418 afier 10 years.

Think aboutit.

When I ask the guys — and they' re mostly guys — why they care so much about seeing big men crashing into other big men over four glacially slow time periods, they say, "You' ll never understand." And they' re right.

What anyone can see is that football is a quasi-religious passion for many — and that the opportunity to bet on one's deeply held convictions about the game may be dangerously seductive.

Small wonder the calls are getting louder to regulate online fantasy sports. In the meantime, tie these guys down.

The senator from Vermont identifies himself as a "democratic socialist," and he's no pretender. In 1985, as mayor of Burlington, he traveled to Nicaragua to celebrate the sixth anniversary of what he called the "heroic revolution" of the Marxist Sandinistas.

CNN debate moderator Anderson Cooper asked, "You don't consider yourself a capitalist, though?" Sanders responded with grim vehemence: "Do I consider myself part of the casino capitalist process by which so few have so much and so many have so little, by which Wall Street's greed and recklessness wrecked this economy? No, I don' t.

I believe in a society where all people do well, not just a handful of billionaires."

Clinton gingerly distinguished her views from his. In thinking about capitalism, she said, "I think about all the small businesses that were started because we have the opportunity and the freedom inour country for people to do that and to make a good living for themselves and their families." But she said it is necessary to "save capitalism from itself."

From all this, you wouldn't know that capitalism has been the most productive economic model in history. The United States attained one of the highest living standards on earth through its reliance on private business, property rightsand relatively unfettered markets.

"What ingrates they are," Hoover In-

those nice clothes, living in nice places or even having emails and computers to talk about if it weren't for capitalism."

Sanders and Clinton may take for granted the affordable travel, instant communications, appetizing food, advanced medical treatments and comfortable accommodations available to them — and most other Americanson a routine basis. But these are largely the products of a profit-driven economic system.

Its achievements are too formidable to be denied. The capitalist class, one writer noted, "has been the first to show what man's activity can bring about.

It has accomplished wonders far surpassing Egyptian pyramids, Roman aqueducts, and Gothic cathedrals; it has conducted expeditions that put in the shade all former Exoduses of nations and crusades." The author is someone Sanders may have read: Karl Marx.

Modern American capitalism is imperfect, as any system is imperfect. But to suggest it serves no function but to enrich "a handful of billionaires" or periodically crash the economy is misinformed or dishonest.

Consider the progress made by the planet's least fortunate inhabitants.

The World Bank notes that between 2000 and now, despite the global financial crisis, "about 1 billion people rose out of extreme poverty. Most developing countries saw solid income growth for the bottom 40 percent of their income distributions." This change did not come about because the world grew

What about here at home? Contrary

to progressive myth, the middle class has not been ground into poverty in recent decades.

Last year, the Congressional Budget Office reported, "For households in the m iddle threequinti les of before-tax income, the cumulative growth in inRation-adjustedbefore-tax income between 1979 and 2011 was 29 percent."

For the bottom fifih of the population, the increase was 59 percent. The fact that thetop 1 percent did better yet doesn't nullify the progress.

In addition, consumers have access to many valuable things that didn't exist in 1979 (such as cellphones, HD televisions and the wonders of the Internet) or arebetter or cheaper than before (such as cars, air conditioning, power tools, groceries and clothing).

Clinton insists on limiting her praise to small companies that have not been

successful enough to become large ones.

But anyone eager to see workers prosper should beware of such romanticism.

On average, employees of companies with 500 or more workers typically earn nearlydouble the wages paid to workers at those with fewer than 50 employees.

There is nothing inherently bad about big business. Amazon, Apple, Costco, Facebook, Starbucks and ESPN are huge enterprises that have flour-

ished by catering to the desires of consumers — many of whom couldn't live without them.

The two Democrats should hope Americans don't consider which serves them worse — an economic system that falls short of egalitarian ideals or a political system that fills high offices with people like Sanders and Clinton.

"It is a disgrace to Israeli Netanyahu condemned the vigilantism. Some critics society, and those that caraccused Israel' s leaders of ried out this lynching need to befound and brought to justice," said Yaakov Amidror, Netanyahu's former national security adviser.

search for lost man LOS ANGELES (AP) — Richard Harvell saw the mud and water coming and knew he had to get out of the flash-flood zone where he had been camping at the foot of the Tehachapi Mountains.

He almost made it.

Harvell,67, was knocked offhis feet by a boulder and swept away by mud and water as he tried to climb into his truck Thursday while a ferocious thunderstorm sent mud, water

and debris down a mountainside, inundating roads, homes and vehicles.

Family and &iends have joined a K er n C ounty Sheriffs Department rescue team in searching for him since Friday, their efforts sometimes interrupt-

ed by bad weather.

On Monday, the team brought out cadaver dogs, Harvell's daughter Susan Garcia said, adding that she and her five siblings and their mother are holding out hope he's alive.

Her father, a Vietnam War veteran, knew how to survive in the rugged des-

New Melones contained 276,692 acre-feet of water as of Monday morning, according to the state Department of Water Resources, about 12percent ofits totalcapacity and 21 percent of its average historical capacity for this time of year.

The total "pulse flow" set to begin today — 23,000acre-feet— is enough to fillabout 23,000football fields one-footdeep in water.

It's also about 6,000 acre-feet more than Tuolumne Utilities District, the county's largest water purveyor, uses on average each year to serve roughly 44,000 residents.

Earlier this year, the irrigation districts sparred with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation — which manages New Melones Reservoir — over spring pulse flows that they feared would leaveas little as 147,000 acre-feet in the reservoir by the end of September.

However, "aggressive conservation efForts"

by OID and SSJID as well as "better-thanexpected spring and summer runoff" helped tocreatethesurplus,thepressrelease stated.

The districts agreed to use the unanticipated savings to help the Bureau of Reclamation send the required pulse flow down the river to attract adult salmon returning from the ocean to spawn.

Accordingto the press release,"west side" wateruserswilldivertthereleased water farther downstream afler it passes through the

Stanislaus and lower San Joaquin rivers and have agreed to compensate the districts.

Federal policies requiring such pulse flows have drawn the ire of local residents and electedleaders,who have argued that releasing so much water during a drought doesn' t make sense.

Congressman Tom McClintock, R-Roseville, introduced legislation in the U.S. House of Representativesearlier this year called the Save Our Water Act that would suspend pulse flows in areas affected by drought.

Though no action has been taken since the bill was introduced in March, McClintock says he's hopeful the House will vote on it sometime before the end of the year.

tary schools. Program funds are also based on ADA numbers and come from state grant money administered through the Stanislaus County Office of Education.

Preschool programs at San Andreas, Valley Springs, West Point and Jenny Lind, too, require requests from the district to adjust ADA levels and secure adequate funding from the California Department of Education's Early Support Division.

All of the money will come in at the start of the 2016-17 school year.

The district has already asked the state for $30,954.35that could have come from regular reimbursements for school lunches served during the closure.

The state will reimburse schools for the number of hot lunches and breakfasts purchased or received through the free and reduced-cost lunch program. Should a school be rendered non-operational due to a natural disaster, the district can apply to get money for the lunches it would have provided with the Child Nutritional Fiscal Services Department of the California Department of Education.

But the "disaster relief payments" are contingent on available funding in the State' s Reserve for Economic Uncertainties.

When and if the district will receive the money is unknown, said Melanic Hernandez, office assistant forthe district'sFood Services Department.

Each request entails documentation to prove the cause of the closures.

"Our technology and business departments had to come up with quite a bit of paper to engage in this process," Campbell said.

In the case of meal reimbursements, the district submitted calculations of meals expected to be served, record of Gov. Jerry Brown's declaration of a State of Emergency in Calaveras and Amador counties, Cal Fire news releases about evacuations and road closures, and district communications about the disaster.

Campbell takes the mound of paperwork in stride.

"It adds an impact," he said, and added "it' s another unintended consequence of the natural disaster."

Campbell said the district must go through the same process for snow days and power outages.

The district should know in a month if the state accepts the requests, Campbell said.

The board Tuesday must also approve the rescheduling of a Science Camp originally slated during the fire.

Other business at the meeting will include information about the district's recent grant

applicationfor $150,000 to replace school buses, part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Clean Diesel Rebate Program.

It sure took a while, but fall is finally here!

This is my most favorite time of the year for many reasons. I love the beautiful fall colors (they go well with my red hair), the fun holidays like Oktoberfest and Halloween (my now 6-foot-2-inch baby's birthday) and, of course, the food.

This is a time to cook more hearty foods that will keep us warm as the weather gets colder.

Of course, most fall foods have a few more calories, so it's important to exercise. I find that shopping burns a lot of calories and takes up the time I would be eating snacks.

Old What's His Name is not boating now, so he spends his time doing laundry, vacuuming and dishes. Did I mention I met him in October? Trick or treat!

ettin i icu t sis to s are re uires tact Annie's Mailbox offered to pick them up.

Well, my request has started World War III. My mother and sister are furious that I have asked to take the pictures to go through them. They cannot give me a reason I can't have accessto the photos butconsider me the bad guy in this scenario.

I could back down and let my sister have her way, but I would like to have that piece of my family history to pass on to my children. Ideally, all of the siblings would have some of the originals, but my sister never learned to share. Should I continue my quest for these photographs, even knowing I will be treated with contempt by my mother and sister? Or should I just let it go? —LIVING IN DYSFUNC-

TIONAL FAMILY LAIR DEAR LIVING". There may be another way to get the pictures.

Your sister seems controlling and possessive, so she is unlikely to hand over the photographs.

Instead, as nicely and sweetly as possible, ask whether you can go through them in her home. Discuss scanning the ones you want into her computer and emailing them. Or you could offer to pay her to make copies.Bring your mother along so she can see that you are being reasonable and flexible. If Sis says no and your mother gets angry, you will be no worse off.

DEAR ANNIE: I read the letter from "Ohio," who wondered why prospective employers never get back to her after job interviews.

I would suggest that after the interview, she send a thank-you letter expressing something she liked about

the job and explaining how she's looking forward to working for that comI learned about that when I attended a community college. It helps. One employerwas 80 impressed that he kept the thank-you note in my file.—B.T. DEAR B.T.: We like this idea. It can only enhance your chances of learning whether you got the job or not. It also doesn't hurt to make a follow-up phone callor send a polite email if you haven' t heard back withina week of the interview.

With flu season approaching, which flu shot is best?

DEAR DR. ROACK For the 20152016 flu season, we find a trivalent vaccine (three influenza virus), quadrivalent vaccine (four influenza virus) and high-dose trivalent recommended forseniors65 and older.Asam ember of the senior group, I would like your opinion on the best choice. Why do they still supply the trivalent when the quad protects against four flu viruses? The highdose trivalent is only for seniors, but the quad seems to be a better choice. This is confusing; please help us understand.

— J.H. ANSWER: Let me preface my answer by saying that any influenza vaccine will provide some protection against flu.

There actually are six different types of FDA-approved flu vaccines available forthe 2015-2016 season.In addition to the three you mention (standard- and high-dose trivalent and quadrivalent), therealso are two trivalent vaccines made without eggs (particularly useful for those with an egg allergy); an intradermal vaccine that uses a tiny needle (90 percentsm allerthan regular needles) for people who really don't like

DEAR ANNKi: My family is very dysfunctional because of my mother' s poor parenting and her history of playing favorites. I maintain minimal contact with my siblings.

One of my sisters is very controlling and has always manipulated my mother to get what she wants. She'8 my mother's "golden child."A number of years ago, this sister took all of the old family photos from my mother'8 home. Mom says she only borrowed them. Knowing my sister, I was concerned that the family would never seethose pictures again.

I recently decided to ask my sister to let me have the pictures so I could go through them, make some enlargements and copies, and write down some names and dates. My adult children alsohave expressed interestin having access to the pictures, as they have never seen them and would like to know about their family's history.

My sister lives four hours away, and I

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. shots; and, unlike all other flu vaccines (which are inactivated virus), a live attenuated vaccine given via a nasal spray, which may be better in children, and is approved only for ages 2-49.

If you do have a choice, I would recommend the high-dose trivalent for thoseover 65,and thequadrivalentfor those under 65, unless you fall into one of thespecialsituations above (fear of shots, egg allergy).

DEAR DR ROACH: I had my spleen removed many years ago, for a rareform ofsevere anemia.The operation was a success. I have my pneumonia shot every five years. In a previous

column, you mentioned a meningitis shot; how often should you get that one?

Also, I would like to know where to get a

medical alertbraceletfor"splenectomy."

I do not have a computer! — H.M.P. ANSWER It sounds like you had a form of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, which has been treated by splenectomy for many years (it was originally suggestedasa treatment by am edicalstudent, a fact I enjoyed when I was early in my training). The meningitis vaccine is given as a tw o-shotseriesforpeople age 2 through 55. A booster dose is recommendedeveryfi veyears.

There are several companies that make medical alertbracelets,and your doctor might have information in her or his office. Two large ones are Medical Alert Foundation at800-482-5378 (800668-1507 in Canada) and American Medical ID at800-363-5985.

DEAR DR ROACK I'm an 80-yearold woman who recently developed an itchy rash and right-sided chest pains radiating to the back. An EKG was fine.

I had my gallbladder removed in the 19908, and a CT scan showed that the surgical clips had migrated. Is this dangerous? Should they be removed? —S.T. ANSWER I found many case reports of surgical clip migration after surgery,

Today in history Today is Tuesday, October 20, the 293rd day of 2015. There are 72 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On October 20, 1965, in one of the more colorful moments of his presidency, Lyndon B. Johnson, recovering from gall bladder surgery at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, pulled up his shirt and jacket to show off his abdominal scar to reporters and photographers. (Although critics were appalled by the display, Johnson later said he was trying to dispel rumors that he'd actually been operated on for cancer.)

On this date: In 1936, Helen Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan Macy, died in Forest Hills, New York, at age 70.

In 1947, the House UnAmerican Activities Committee opened hearings into alleged Communist influence and infiltration in the U.S. motion picture industry.

In 1968, former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.

In 1973, in the so-called "Saturday Night Massacre," special Watergate prosecutor Archiba ld Cox was dismissed and Attorney General Elliot L. Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William B. Ruckelshaus resigned.

In 1981, a bungled armored truck robbery carried out by members of radical groups in Nanuet, New York, left a guard and two police officers dead.

In 1990, three members of the rap group 2 Live Crew were acquitted by a jury in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, of violating obscenity laws with an adultsonly concert in nearby Hollywood the previous June.

BRIDGE Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Today is a 9 — Dig into a big job. The work is in the details. Profit from meticulous service. Focus on your work today and tomorrow. Balance chaos with peace; noise with quiet. Rely on a rigorous schedule. Get creative.

Libra (Sept.23-Oct. 22):Today is an 8 — Enjoy some fun and relaxation today and tomorrow. Proceed slowly or break something. Fact and fantasy clash. Harsh words could easily fly. Decrease clutter. Go for clarity. Include tranquil moments in beauty. Spend time near the water.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Today is a 9 — Family matters need attention now. Perfect your environment. Play with long-range ideas, and dabble in elements like color, form and line. Take notes. Chart site plans. Budget to conserve resources while nurturing your clan.

Sagittarius (Nov.22-Dec. 21):Today is an 8 — Emerge from your cocoon over the next two days. Take advantage of changes. Clean up messes. Consider an older person's feelings. Don't try a new idea. Give away stuff you don't need.Takethings slow and easy.

Capricorn (Dec. 224an. 19):Today is an 8 — Let things cook. Your morale rises along with your income over the next few days. Work more and make more. Watch your step ... conditions seem unstable. Let things percolate over a slow fire.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is an 8 — Strike out in a new direction. Follow the path directly ahead. You' re powerful and confident over the next two days. Work out the numbers for a new personal project. Strategize. Drop old assumptions for uncharted territory.

e AKQ Henrik Lundqvist, a Swedish ice hockey goalie 4 J52 for the New York Rangers, said, "Good tailoring West East trumps designer and price any day."

4985 4 KQ102 Good declarer-play and defense require accu- W 8 2 %AS rate tailoring of trumps, making the most of their e J 3 e 109 7 6 4 power and trick-taking capability. Trumps serve y K Q 1 0 9 8 7 many purposes: removing those held by the South opponents, helping to establish a side suit, killing 4 A?4 the opponents' winners, and so on.

T KQJ 10 9 In this deal, West leads the club king against 0 852 four hearts. What should happen?

4A6 Since West did not have a weak two-bid availDealer: West able in clubs, he traded on the favorable vulnerVulnerable: North-South ability to open three clubs.

S outh must take these 10 tricks: one spade, Sou t h Wes t No r t h Ea s t four hearts, three diamonds and two clubs. So, 34 Pass Pass declarer wins the first trick and leads the heart 37 Pass 4% Al l Pa s s nine. Which four tricks should East have his eye

on?

Opening lead:4 K

First, East should realize that South has the spade ace. But the defenders need to take two spades, one heart and one club. (If West has seven clubs, presumably the contract is castiron.) Should East shift to the spade king at trick three'? Assuming South wins that trick, when West gets in with his club queen, he can push a spade through dummy's jack. But suppose declarer ducks the spade. Then, when East returns his second club, West might get it into his mind to win and lead a spade, not another club.

It is much safer for East to lead a club at trick three. Here, West will take the trick and return a club so that East can ruff dummy's jack. Then South has no chance.

Ruff away one of declarer's winners when it does not cost a trump trick.

Cpuo Hearing Room, 505 van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA 94102 The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will hold Evidentiary Hearings (EHs) at the dates, times and location shown above regarding proposed rate changes in the application of Southern California Edison Company (SCE) to establish marginal costs, assign revenues, and design rates.

Any changes to the dates, times, and locations of the EHs will be posted to the cpuc's Daily Calendar, which is accessible on the Cpuc website at www.cpuc.ca.gov. The hearing location is wheelchair accessible. Any participant needing a language or Sign interpreter, or other special assistance, should contact the Cpuo's public Advisor's Office (pAO) at the address listed at the bottom of this notice at least five business days in advance of the

hearing date.

0 0 L On June 20, 2014, SCE submitted a proposal to the Cpuc for approval of revised rates in a proceeding that is referred to as Phase 2 of SCE's 2015 General Rate Case (GRC). The proposal will not increase or decrease overall revenues collected from SCE's customers.

This phase will determine the rate design for SCE customers, and how SCE's revenues will be divided among its customers. The rate design the Commission adopts in the Phase 2 proceeding will incorporate the revenue changes determined in Phase 1 and other proceedings.

Phase 1 is a separate proceeding and will address SCE's GRC proposed changes.

Phase 2 is ffs own proceeding and will address how to divide the utility's entire revenue requirement amongst its customers.

Issues in this proceeding will be addressed in settlement agreements and are subject to comments by the parties and CPUC approval. The EHs will provide an opportunity for the assigned Administrative Law Judge (Judge) and other parties to ask questions about the settlement agreements. If approved, the settlement agreements will modify the amount of revenue assigned to each customer class (residential, small commercial, large and medium business, streetlight, and agricultural classes). The changes are intended to better align rates with SCE's cost of service to different classes of customers.

EVIDENTIARY HEARINGS At these EHs the Judge will receive the testimony of representatives from SCE, as well as consumer advocacy groups, and all other parties to this proceeding. These hearings are open to the public, but only those who are parties to the proceeding may present evidence, testimony, and be subject to cross-examination. The hearings and documents submitted during the proceeding become part of the formal record the Judge relies upon in writing a proposed decision to present to the Commissioners for their consideration.

After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process, the assigned Judge will issue a proposed decision which may adopt the settlement agreements, modify them, or deny them. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision.

The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon at a

scheduled cpuc voting Meeting.

As a party of record, the Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA) has reviewed SCE's Application. ORA is the independent consumer advocate within the CPUC with a legislative mandate to represent investor-owned utility customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels. ORA has a multi-disciplinary staff with expertise in economics, finance, accounting and engineering. For more information b t O RA pl ll(415)703-1584, - il ~ i itORA' r it ,

TABLESETTING Continued from Page Bl Northern California. The Sonora chapter was established in 1938 by Maryann Gray and Bess Ferguson.

One of the first fundraisers the group put together was a children's fashion show at Sonora High School in 1940, Spitze said.

They also started a fund that same year to provide disadvantaged children with graham crackers and milk at recess, she added.

The group has since raised thousands of dollars for charitable causes through a variety of fundraisers each year, including rummage and wreath sales.

Now 34 members strong in Tuolumne County, the Alpha Iota chapter provides a total $8,000 a year for scholarships distributed among all high schools and Columbia College.

The group's Christmas charity provides dozens of children with $100 worth of gifts each year, including warm jackets, shoes and clothing. ''We go to the different schools in the county and request some names of children who don't have the benefit of a normal family or whose family is in a hard-luck situation," Spitze said.

The gifts are wrapped, labeled and delivered to the children's schools at Christmas time.

'They' re very grateful," Spitze said of the families helped. "Some might be homeless or living in a shelter.

It's really rewarding for us to be able to contribute and make their Christmas almost normal."

A committeeheaded by chairwoman Jeanne Shephard and co-chairwoman Elizabeth Kopf organized this year's fallevent.

In addition to the lunch and table-setting contest, there will be a raffie, silent auction and vendors offering holiday gift items.

Seating is limited to 190, and Spitze said the event has sold out each year.

Tickets can be purchased at Joan's Boutique, 52 S. Washington St., Sonora, as well as directly from any Omega Nu members.

The Krawchucks went on a guided trip with Colby Gimes Wilderness Adventures, and spent eight days away from home in a wall tent. On the opening morning, Carol (above) harvested a big bull. She spotted him at 185 yards away and waited for about 15 minutes before getting the right shot. "An experience of a lifetime," Carol said.

Afterspin to win, Logano may be tough enough

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — There was a time not so long ago when it was easy to pick on Joey Logano.

He was tongue-lashed by Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick and Ryan Newman. He feuded for weeks with former teammate Denny Hamlin and was cast as the bad guy when hard racing between the two ended in a hard crak that broke Hamlin's back.

Logano was ridiculed when his father once angrily ordered his son to con&ont Harvick after a 2010 incident. Already viewed by many as a rich kid who used his daddy's money to crack NASCAR's top series as soon as he turned 18, his father's constant presence did Logano no favors.

So it was no surprise last November when Harvick, ever the pot-stirrer, poked and prodded at Logano in the leadup to the championshipdeciding season finale. Harvick may have rattled Logano a little bit, but with a

square jaw and an awe-shucks smile, Logano did his best to tune out the eventual Sprint Cup champion.

Now here we are, nearly a year later, and Logano doesn't appear willing to be picked on by anyone anymore.

He's shrugged OIF any Harvick comments, downplayed any notion that all the title contenders are chasing the reigning champion, and he's raced as if he won't back down &om anything.

His aggression was on display Sunday at Kansas Speedway when he chased down Matt Kenseth in the dosing laps for the win. Kenseth was in a dire situation, badly needing the win to guarantee his Chase doesn' t

all bets were o6' when it comes to a gentleman's code. When Logano tried again to get past Kenseth, he made contact with the leader and caused Kenseth to spin.

The move earned Logano the victory — his second of the Chase, fifth of the season — and likely cost Kenseth his shot at the Sprint Cup title.

Barring a win at Talladega or serious mishapsto several drivers ahead of him in the standings, Kenseth will be eliminated &om the Chase on Sunday.

Logano was unapologetic about the

me, strategically, that doesn't seem like a great decision for him. But it' s the one he made and that's how he wanted to win. I'm one of the only guys that I think hasn't been into yet with Joey and I' ve always raced him with a ton of respect, I' ve actually been one of his biggest fans. I'm certainly not anymore."

That didn't seem to bug Logano, who at just 25 years old is in his seventhseason offightingforrespect.

Sure, when he was 18 with the nickname "Sliced Bread" and a clear outcome. path to replace Stewart atJoeGibbs "We both went for the same piece of Racing, itwaseasy forother drivers real estate," Logano said."We ran each to resentLogano. It was also easy

for him to back away from a fight,

at Talladega. Logano, on the other hand, had nothing to lose: A win at Charlotte last week earned him an automatic berth into the third round and a victory at Kansas was worth nothing but the trophy.

So Kenseth threw a block on Logano's attempt to pass him for the win. That move, many believe, meant

him hard back" Kenseth was adamant he was intentionally wrecked and willingly addedhisname toalistofdriverswho dislike Logano. He also added he had nothing to discuss with Logano.

"You make decisions every day.

You make decisions every minute behind the wheel," Kenseth said. "To

to avoid confiict, to let the veterans push him around.

But he now drives for Roger Penske, one of the most successful businessmen in the world, and Penske has stood firmly behind his driver.

He's off ered advice and anecdotes, and he defends his driver in every situation. The way Penske saw it

Sunday, it was "one of those racing accidents"spurred at least in part because "there was no question that Kenseth was doing everything he couldtokeep Joey from going by."

It isn't that Logano spun Kenseth that shows something about Logano's mettle, rather it's the shouldershrugposition hetook afterthe fact.

It's the kind of attitude that could win him a championship because he no longer will be bullied. But, it could also cost him a title if his driving leads to retribution.

Either way, he recognizes he's come a very long way &om that scrawny kid thrust into the big leagues with high hopesofbeing abig star.

"It's tough. It's not supposed to be easy. That's why this is the top level n he said. 'Tm proud to of motorsports, be in it and proud to be winxnng in it.
