Members of the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians can trace their ancestors back thousands of years, a cultural lineage that predates the oldest living giant sequoias from Calaveras Big Trees to Yosemite and other locations farther south in the Sierra Nevada.

From bedrock mortars near foothill streams and alpine lakes, to former villages and burial grounds, Me-Wuk history is presentin remote locations across the Mother Lode and higher in the mountains.

Protecting Me-Wuk history and culture has been a challenge since the first waves of European explorers and immigrants began arriving in the western Sierra Nevada before the Gold Rush. To this day, descendants of the first known inhabitants of the Mother Lode have to be wary of grave hunters.

Rain. Snow. Accidents.

That formula proved true once again in the Mother Lode earlier this week when five accidents were reported in Tuolumne County and four in Calaveras County, the California Highway Patrol stated.

On Tuesday, there was one accident in Calaveras County (which didn't get as much rain as Tuolumne), and two in Tuolumne County.

A man who eluded officers for hours Tuesday was reportedly seen in several locations in Tuolumne County since then and by Wednesday evening remained at large.

He said there was no talk of bringing in the SherifFS Office's new armored vehicle, a $270,000 Lenco MedCat Rescue Vehicle, because the terrain was too rough.

"It's aprettyheavy vehicle, and it wouldn' t have worked out there," Lyons said.

The man, driving a white Ford pickup truck, led deputies on a 25-mile chase from Jamestown to Moccassin to Chinese Camp before jumping out and fieeing toward the Red Hill.

Lyons said it's unlikely he was picked up by anyone, and offi cialsbelievehe iscarrying a handgun.

The incident began about 10 a.m. as deputies were staking out Starr Mobile Home Estates in Sonora, waiting to serve three felony warrants on Joshua Willis, 31.

A three-car pileup injured three people Tuesday afternoon after traffic was stopped on Highway 4 near Stallion Way due to a vehicle collision.

Traffic control had been in effect for about 5 to 10 minutes when the pileup occurred, according to a California Highway Patrol report.

Ancelma Gomez, 39,of Murphys, was driving a 2006 Chevy when she diverted her attention to a fireman holding a traffic-control sign.

Gomez did not notice the line of stopped vehicles ahead on the highway.

Gomez's Chevy crashed into the back of a 2013 Ford, driven by Michael Bingham, 72, of Angels Camp.

The force of impact also pushed Bingham's Ford into the back ofa 1998 Honda driven by Holly C. Impink, 61, of Copperopolis.

numbers of dead trees is one option to help address the worstepidemic of tree mortality in recent memory, according to a former county supervisor.

Mark Thornton, of Groveland, urged the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors at Tuesday's meeting to consider reducing or waiving propertytaxes for those in the area afFected by the statewide tree m ortality emergency. He represented District 4 &om 1997 through 2008.

"I don't have as good of health as I did back then, but the problems con&onting this county are extremely significant at this point," he said in an interview Wednesday.

The growing number of dead and dying trees in California forests is largely attributedto the four-year drought and bark beetle infestation.

At least 22 million trees acrossthe state are believed to bedead,according to the latest estimates. A recent scientific study found an additional 100 million-plus trees — as much as 20 percent of the state' sforests— are low on water and potentially vulnerable because of the drought.

On Oct. 30, Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in response to the epidemic and pledged funding and resources for impacted communities.

Thornton said the additional savings &om reducing or waiving property taxes could be used by landowners to pay for having dead trees chopped down and removed &om their properties.

"If the governor says this is a state of emergency, you pull out all the stops just like you would after a hurricane or fire," he said.

The annual property tax rateis 1percent ofa property's assessed value, plus any additional v o ter-approved debt. An average Tuolumne County resident pays $1,613 in property taxes annually, according to a recent study by a New York-based financial analysis company.

Thornton, who addressed the board on Sept. 15 about reducingproperty taxes for private landowners dealing with dead trees, said he was pleased with the result Tuesday.

"I was happy there seemed to be a favorable response from all of them," he said. "I got most of what I wanted on the record and they made a public commitment to look into the property-tax waiv-

Thornton also urged the board topush for funding from the state's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for cleaning up the dead trees, though the board already offeredthat suggestion in a letter to Gov. Jerry Brown last month.

Thomas David Stanfield May 21, 1939 —Oct. 24, 2015

After a courageous battle with cancer, our b eloved brother,father and grandfather, Thomas David Stanfield passed away peacefully on Oct. 24, 2015, in Sonora.

David was the first born son of the late, Thomas E. and Doris Russell Stanfield.

He was born May 21, 1939, in Compton.He grew up in Oakd ale and Farmington, attended grammar school in Oakdaleand graduated from Escalon High School as a star athlete.

He was a longtime resident of Arnold, where he was known and loved by many.

He loved his quiet mountain

life, his circle of good friends and had a passion for the San Francisco 49ers and Sacramento Kings.

His passion was his upholstery work which he learned at a young age, and made his living working in for over 50 years. He specialized in historically restoring antique furniture, buggies, cars and boats.

Tom had struggles in life at times, but faced them with humor and a smile. He could always see the bright side of any situation. He was an "old school" gentleman, with a kind, gentle and forgiving heart.

A loving father,grandfather and beloved brother, and uncle, his cheerful smile will be missed by many.

He leaves behind his children,Tommy Stanfield and Sherri (Jim) Berg of Stockton, Kenny (Ellie) Stanfield of Oroville, and Brett Snyder of Mode sto; grandchildren: Brandie (Shane) Dosio, Kimberly, Matthew, Patrik and Thomas (Alycia) Stanfield, Jimmy Wagner, Susan (Brian) Cerelli, Debbie (Shaun) Lockhart, and 1 9 g r e at grandchildren. He also leaves behind his b rother Gary (Tina) Stanfield of Modesto and sister Bonnie Stanfield of Eureka. All mourn his loss.

He is preceded in death by brothers Richard and Bruce and daughter Debra Marie Stanfield.

A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 5,2015, at Farmington Cemetery.

States link learning to teacher evals WASHINGTON (AP) The vast majority of states now require that teachers be

evaluated, at least in part, on student test scores — up

sharplyfrom six years ago.

And in many states, those performance reviews could lead to a pink slip.

The comprehensive stateby-state analysis released Wednesday by the National Council on Teacher Quality shows 42 states and the District of Columbia have policies on the books requiring that student growth and achievement be considered in evaluations for public school teachers. In 2009, only 15 stateslinked scoresto teacher reviews.

In 28 states, teachers with "ineffective ratings are eligible for dismissal," said the report by the Washington-based think tank.

A majorityof states adopted pe r formance-based teacherevaluations as partof the Obama administration's Race to the Top initiative, which has awarded $4 billion in grant money to states that promisedreforms.

This meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m.

As a customer of the Utilities District, I have serious concerns about the rate increases which are proposed. In my opinion, the District has not addressed cost reductions which are necessary.

So often we focus on raising revenue, rather than reducing expenses.

There are serious difficulties with the unfunded pension liabilities, as well as unfunded health care liabilities for the utility district, which must be properly investigated prior to approval of any rate increases.

More journalist

layoffs sad news for consumers

AN)

This week, many in my profession are reeling from news of yet another round of newsroom layoffs, this time at the National Geographic Society.

For 127 years, National Geographic's photographers and writers have sacrificed family time and often any semblance of a normal life to give the rest of us spectacular views into the farthest reaches of the world. In many homes, a subscription to the yellow-spine magazine is as sturdy a family tradition as holiday rituals.

I am hoping this reader loyalty will inspire many of you non-journalists to care that 9 percent of National GeoCOnnle

~

its2,000 employees — are losing their jobs. I also hope you' ll care how it happened, because this scenario is playing out in newsrooms across the country.

And it's no way to treat journalists because it's no way to treat fellow human beings.

I readily concede that this cutthroat style of management happens now in all kinds of companies. Just today, a mother told me that her daughter was fired by text on her drive home after work. I can't even think about that without my own maternal heart racing to warp speed.

Still, please consider what happens to the quality of your news when so many good journalists are fired in ways that leave those who remain forever altered by the experience.

In most newsrooms these days, fear reigns. That is no way for a journalist to take on the world — or corruption at your local city hall.

As media blogger Jim Romenesko reported, National Geographic CEO Gary Knell issued a staff-wide email on Monday warning of bad tidings to come.

The key sentence in his memo: "Please watch your inbox for important information about your employment status tomorrow."

Knell ended by expressing his confidence in the future.

Why do bosses do this? When you' re about to slice up a staff, no one cares how you' re feeling.

A tweet by Donald Winslow, who is editor of News Photographermagazine,summed up the newsroom dread:"No one knows how many, at this point. Staff sitting by phones waiting to be called down one by one to HR." It is impossible to overstate the anxiety of a newsroom told to refresh email — or, in the case of my former employer, to sit by the phone between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.— to find out if your career is about to come to a screeching halt. In my old newsroom, the dozens who got the call were ordered to stay away until a designated date and time when they were allowed to clean out their desks under the watchful eyes of management.

These good and loyal veterans of journalism were essentially treated like criminals.

I was among the lucky majority, but we were a newsroom of zombies that day, wandering &om desk to desk, colleague to colleague, trying to figure out which friends and co-workers were gone. Their desks, with their nameplatesstillattached,remained empty formonths, scattered through the newsroom like tombstones. Staff morale never recovered.

It doesn't have to work this way.

Maura Casey, one of my closest friends, was an editorial writer for one of the largest newspapers in the country. It was her dream job, but in 2009, her boss told her that, because of budgeting, her job would end in nine months.

Not tomorrow.

Not next week.

In nine months.

The early heads-up allowed her to continue to do her job while also planning for her future. She interviewed dozens of people in various fields to help her figure out what could come next.

"I wanted to treat my layoff as an investigative news story, to learn about myself," she told me this week. She asked for advice, and she listened as they described her many skills and suggested how she could use them to make a living in ways she hadn't considered.

Maura owns her own consulting business now. She is wildly successful. Just as importantly, she isn't bitter. She credits this, in part, to how her former employer handled her departure. "It wasn't 'Dead Man Walking, she said, "where they send journalists o6'to HR like they' re walking

Suddenly, an emboldened media gave

up all pretense of objectivity in a brash way not seen since 2012, when presidential debate moderator Candy Crawley jumped in to help Obama's fioundering defense after Romney had criticized the administration's handling of the Benghazi attack.

Hostile CNBC moderators grilled Republicans with "gotcha" questions along the lines of, "How long have you been beating your wife?" In contrast, CNN moderators in the Democratic debate created alove fest between front-runners Clinton and Bernie Sanders — and mostly ignored the back-of-the-pack candidates.

Usually an impartial media is not so crude in its liberal bias. But this time, the prejudices were so fiagrant that they finallyboomeranged on a discredited CNBC, whose moderators limped home &om the debate licking their self-infiicted wounds.

Conventional wisdom also stated that governorsmake far better candidates — and presidents — than do senators.

Supposedly, they are not Washington insiders, have executive experience and actually ran something.

But so far there is not a single former or sitting governor among the frontrunners of either party. In fact, the most successful past or present governorsBush, Jindal, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich, George Pataki, Rick Perry, Scott Walker and Martin O' Malley — struggle in the polls or have already quit the race.

Perhaps give-and-take governors have to make compromises and sound nambypamby in the debates and on the stump.

Senators and outsiders do and talk as they please, and seem more savvy about the media — and about raising big money.

The campaign has just started, and already past wisdom is proving to be ignorance — with more debunking to come.

Yellen: Rate hike a 'live possibili ' WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairwoman J anet Yellen

said Wednesday that an interest rate hike in December is a "live possibility" if the economy stays on track.

Yellen described the U.S. economy as "performing well" right now, with solid growth in domestic spending. At their meeting last week, policymakers believedthat the threat of global headwinds had ebbed, Yellen said.

At its Dec. 15-16 meeting, the Fed will consider raising a key interest rate from a record low near zero if

the economy continues to grow at a strong enough pace to keep adding jobs and push annual inflation toward the Fed's 2 percent target, Yellen said.

Yellen stressed that no decision has

been madeyet,and a move in December will depend on how the economy fares between now and then. She reiterated that when the Fed does start raising rates, it will do so gradually.

She said she u nderstood that "there is a great deal of focus" on the timing of the Fed's first rate hike in nearly a decade. But she said the more important focus should be on the pace of rate hikes after the Fed decides to move.

"The c ommittee's expectation i s that it will be a very gradual path and ... will depend very much on the actual performance of the economy," she said.

Y ellen's comments came in r e sponse to questions during an appearance before the House Financial

Services Committee on Wednesday.

W illiam Dudley, president of t h e Fed's New York regional bank, said at aseparate appearance later in the day that he was in full agreement that December was a "live possibility and we will see what the data shows."

The main topic of the committee hearing was banking supervision and regulation. On that subject, Yellen said that the country's largest financial institutions are still falling short of managing the types of risks that led to the 2008 financial crisis.

While Yellen acknowledged progress in making the financial system more resilient to shocks, she expressed concerns about the "substantial compliance and risk-management issues" at the institutions.

"We don' t tell anybody about it. If you do, you getgravediggerscoming out to try to find things. We deal with the Forest Service on a lot of these things. We keep it between them and us."

Aboutfiveweeks ago,m orethan a dozen human bone &agments were found in a remote section of the Groveland Ranger District in Stanislaus National Forest, and they were determined tobe closely associated with Sierra Me-Wuk people.

Members of the Tuolumne MeWuk Tribal Council have requested custody of the remains, said Kathy Strain, archaeologist for the Stanislaus National Forest.

But first, the Forest Service must seek input from people with any other Indiantribewho believe they are culturally affiliated with the bone &agments.

reburial sites are.

"It's not something we'd like to go out to the public, because people will come around and try to dig things up," Cox said. 'We try to keep these things to ourselves and let only peo-

pie know who need to know about it."

With federal custodians of the lands his ancestors called home, Cox said he and his tribe have to maintain some distance.

"One time I located an old village site, and I told the Forest Service, and they asked me to show them the location," Cox said. 'They never had any idea that anything was there. I never did tell them where it was. If it got in the paper it would get out, and people would come and dig it up.

"I don't tell them exactly where things are any more," Cox said.

Nevertheless, Cox says, the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians believethey have a good working relationship with the Forest Service, and other government agencies.

During the trial, the boy was described by former teachers as not working at his potential.

After Wednesday's hearing, Reichel said his client will serve with people convictedofseriouscrimes.

Meanwhile, the man in the Ford truck was driving south on Highway 108, through the Jamestown, Moccasin and Chinese Camp areas, reaching speeds as fast as 90 mph, until the truck ran out of gas on Highway 108 near La Grange Road in Chinese Camp. The truck was stopped in the oncoming lane.

Deputies chased the man on foot into a vast tract of rolling hills, oak trees and brush.

The man yelled at officers that he had a gun.

A helicopter from the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office arrived at 11:07 a.m., and K-9s were released about noon.

A man on horseback stayed with Lyons until it was safe for him to return to his vehicle, Lyons said.

There were no accidents during the vehicle pursuit that Lyons was aware of.

"Most of the pursuit was on the highway and had very little traffic," Lyons said.

Wood was being held in Tuolumne County Jail Wednesday afternoon on $55,000 bail.

The Sherifl"s Office released a be-onthe-lookout poster Wednesday evening with Willis' description — white male, 5 foot 11 inches tall, weighing 180 pounds.

He has blond hair, blue eyes, average build, a light complexion, and tattoos on his right ankle, right calf, thigh and left ankle.

• Campylobacter:Most people who become ill with campylobacteriosis get diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain and fever within two to five days after exposure to the organism. The diarrhea may be bloody and can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The illness typically lasts about one week. Some infected peopledo nothave any symptoms. In people with compromised immune systems, campylobacter occasionally spreads to the bloodstream and causes a serious life-threatening infection.

• Escherichia coll:E. coli is a large and diverse group of bacteria. Although most strains of E. coli are harmless, others can m ake you sick.Some kindsofE.colican cause diarrhea, while others cause urinary tract infections, respiratory illness and pneumonia and other illnesses.

• Salmonella:Most people infected with salmonella develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts four to seven days, and most people recover without treatment. However, in some people, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized.

• Shigella: Most people who are infected with shigella develop diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps starting a day or two after they are exposed to the bacteria. The diarrhea is often bloody.

Shigellosis usually resolves in five to seven days. People with shigellosis in the United States rarely require hospitalization. A severe infection with high fever may be associated with seizures in children younger than 2 years. Some people who are infected may have no symptoms at all, but may still pass the shigella bacteria to others.

• Listeria monocytogenes:An important public health problem in the United States that primarily affects older adults, pregnantwomen, newborns and adults with weakened immune systems.

However, rarely, people without these risk factors can also be affected. A person with listeriosis usually has fever and muscleaches,sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. Almost everyone who is diagnosed with listeriosis has "invasive" infection, in which the bacteria spread beyond the gastrointestinal tract.

Those tasty morsels of research come on the heels of the news that the obesity rate in the U.S. is at or above 30 percent in 22 statesand no state isbelow 21 percent. Clearly, many of you would like easy-touse tools to improve weight managementi Well, those two studies offer you that! The first one, from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, shows that most folks spread their food intake over 15 hours or more a day! But when study volunteers cut down their grazing time from 14 hours to 10 or 11 hours, they lost an average of 3.5 percent of their excess body weight in 16 weeks!

lowing a traditional Thanksgiving Day pickup football game. So here are tips that will keep you in good shape, and won't take a thing away from yourday offun.

Tip No. 1: Warm up. If you start off cold, youll pull a hamstring or a groin muscle, so jog around as you check the field for holes and drains, do jumping jacks or just jump up and down. Get your blood flowing and your muscles moving. Your body will thank you later.

Tip No. 2: Don't play tackle football, and don't wear cleats. You' re not on a school team with lots of good equipment (where are your helmet and pads?), and you' re no pro.

Cleats get caught; knees get twisted; heads get bumped.

Wear running or tennis shoes, and stick wit h t w o-hand touch.

Tip No. 3: Act your age. If your 18-year-old nephew runs by you, remember thatyou're older and smarter. Don' t sprint backward to catch him; pass him off to someone his own age. Playing against your peers (your brother or college roommate)? Well, good luck. Did we mention mouth guards?

Tip No. 4: Don't play with an injury; call it a day. Playing with or aggravating an injury will delay and prolong your recovery. It' ll also make the days following very painful, so let discretion be the better part of valor, and head home for a nice slice of pumpkin pie.

are iverex auste, rea orac an e DEAR ANNIE: I have been taking care of my mother since I was 17 andshe was disabled fmm a car accident and unable to work. I am now 47, and Mom is 72. Her health is getting worse, so my husband and I recently moved her in with us. My husband and I both work full time. I have caregivers who come in during the day when we are at work, and we take care of her at night.

Annie, I'm so tired. My husband and I can't go anywhere overnight.

Our sex life has gone downhill, because we are both so exhausted.

Mom has become mean and combative, which makes our lives miserable. She doesn't sleep much at night, which means neither do I. There are no other family members around to help.

I have tried to find a skilled nursing facility or other assisted living place, but am having a hard time finding one that she can afford. I want her somewhere safe, but I

it is perfectly OK to call Susie and ask whether the gift was received. You'd be surprised how often such things are lost or misplaced, especially when the gifts are brought to the wedding instead of sent to the bride's home. This includes cards with money inside. And thank-you notes can also go astray.

Of course, if Susie did receive the gift and is simply too rude to have sent an acknowletIgment of anykind, she deserves to squirm a little when you ask her about it.

Four main cholesterol numbers need checking DEAR DR. ROACH:Several years ago,Istarted going to a new doctorwho said that the way to get the correct cholesterol number is to divide the HDL into the LDL, and if the answer is not 2.5 or lower, I have a problem and should be takingsteps to lower it.I am currently intervi ewing other doctors, as I have stoppedgoingtothis doctorforpersonal reasons. My previous doctor stated that you subtract the HDL from the LDL, and if it is below 100, it's OK Which ia correct?Iam 68 years old now and in very goodhealth.Iwaatoldby a doctorImet while visiting another state that he'd never heard of the "2.5" solution.— T. ANSWER: There are four main cholesterol numbers acquired from a routine blood test: total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.

It's hard to comprehend four numbers all at once, 80 you have mentioned two ap-

proachestoevaluate the cholesterolpicture in a single number.

The firs is the HDL:LDL ratio. Some authorities have described this number as thesinglebestpredictorofheartdisease (&om the standpoint of blood cho-

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. leaterol levels). The higher the ratio, the higher the risk. A ratio of 2.5 ia extremely good,with a very low risk ofheartdisease.

A ratioof3.5 orloweriagenerally considereddesirable:At that level,the riskfor heartdisease is about half the average(the averageratio ia 5).A ratio of9.6 is associatedwith doublethe average risk.

The second is the non-HDL cholesterol, which ia what you get when you subtract HDL from total cholesterol. This also has met with considerable acceptance, and a number below 100 ia considered in the desirable range.

Personally, I think that since HDL cholesterol has independent predictive ability on the likelihood of coronary disease

from both LDL and total cholesterol, I use both absolute numbers. I think both the ratio and non-HDL cholesterol are useful, but don't tell the whole story.

Remember that cholesterol is only a partofthe story for heartdisease risk.

Smokingand blood pressureareatleast as important. Family history is too, and oftenisunderappreciated.Diet,exercise and stress management are very important, and most of us physicians don't pay enough attention to these.

DEAR DR. ROACK I have been experiencing shortness of breath whenever I vacation and walk in the mountains. I was s amoker,butIquit31yearsago.My doctor has sent me for the lung capacity breathing test, and I passed with flying colors. The technician stated that my number was one of the highest she has seen. Can you shed some light on why this is happening, as it concerns me?N.L. ANSWER: I have two concerns. The first is that lung capacity is a measure of just what it sounds like — how big the lungs are. When the technician says it' 8 among the biggest she's seen, I worry that

it's too big. An elevated lung capacity can go along with emphysema, which can be related to distant smoking or can be due to a condition called alpha-1 anti(Typsin deficiency. Emphysema can be diagnosed by other components of pulmonary function tests, particularly a test called the DLCO, and confirmed by X-ray or CT. However, breathing problems also might indicate heart problems and anemia, so you might need another visit. On the other hand, there ia less oxygen in the thin mountain air, so some degree of shortness of breath might not be abnormal.

Today in history Today is Thursday, Nov. 5, the 309th day of 2015. There are 56 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On Nov. 5, 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term in officeas he defeated Republican challenger Wendell L. Willkie.

On this date: In 1781, the Continental Congress elected John Hanson of Maryland its chairman, giving him the title of "President of the United States in Congress Assembled."

In 1912, Democrat Woodrow Wilson was elected president, defeating Progressive Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt, incumbent Republican William Howard Taft and Socialist Eugene V. Debs.

In 1935, Parker Brothers began marketing the board game "Monopoly."

In 1968, Republican Richard M. Nixon won the presidency, defeating Democratic Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and American Independent candidate George C. Wallace.

In 1974, Democrat Ella T. Grasso was elected governor of Connecticut, becoming the first woman to win a gubernatorial office without succeeding her husband.

In 1985, Spencer W. Kimball, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died at age 90; he was succeeded by Ezra Taft Benson.

In 1990, Rabbi Meir Kahane (meh-EER' kah-HAH'-nuh), the Brooklyn-born Israeli extremist, was shot to death at a New York hotel. (Egyptian native El Sayyed Nosair (el sah-EED' nosah-EER')was convicted ofthe slaying in federal court.)

In 1994, former President Ronald Reagan disclosed he had Alzheimer's disease.

In 2009, a shooting rampage at the Fort Hood Army post in Texas left 13 people dead; Maj. Nidal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was later convicted of murder and sentenced to death.

BRIDGE Fireworks if you find winners

By PHILLIP ALDER

North 11-05-15 4 A52 16 0 AK Q 10 4 4 1073 2 East

Baz Luhrmann, an Australian film director, screenwriter and producer, said, "If Paris is the city of lights, Sydney is the city of fireworks."

I J 97 63 Today, England is the country of fireworks +94 becausethis is Guy Fawkes night.Guy Fawkes and his band tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament on Nov. 5, 1605. In the evening, an V KQ J 1 0 8 7 5 4 effigyof Guy Fawkes is burned on a bonfire and I 85 fireworks are let off.

4AKQ This deal would make some players think of fireworks. What happens in six hearts after West leads the diamond two? What do you think of the auction?

In the bidding, South made a strong jump shift, showing either a long, strong heart suit or a two-suiter with hearts and diamonds (his 6V Pass P a s s Pa s s partner's suit). Typically, the responder would have 13-16 points: enough for game and asking Opening lead:0 2 opener to decide if it was a slam deal. Here, though, South was always planning to bid at least six hearts.

West tookthe bull by the horns in jumping to four spades, which would have usually indicated at least an eight-card suit, especially when vulnerable.

Finally, South gave up on seven and settled for the contract he nearly bid on round one.

West's lead is surely a singleton. And if so, it marks East with the heart ace; otherwise, West would know East does not have a quick entry. Note that if declarer plays a trump at trick two, he goes down. Instead, he must first cash dummy's spade ace and discard his second diamond.Then he can lead a trump, ruffthe second diamond high,draw trumps, and claim.

NOTICE OF INTENDED DISPOSITION Stanislaus National Forest Alpine, Calaveras, Mariposa and Tuolumne Counties, CA Notice is hereby given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3002, Sec. 3, of the intent to transfer custody of human remains in the possession of the Stanislaus National Forest to the Tuolumne Me-Wuk Tribe on or around December 12, 2015.

This notice is published as part of the National Forest Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3002, Sec. 3(d)(2).

The determinations within this notice are the sole responsibility of the Stanislaus National Forest.

Sixteen bone fragments were recovered from the Stanislaus National Forest, Groveland Ranger District on September 29, 2015. The fragments were determined to be human and of Native American descent. After consultation, it was determined that the remains could not be associated with a lineal descendant. Officials of the Stanislaus National Forest then determined that the remains were culturally affiliated with the Sierra Me-Wuk. On October 25, 2015 the Forest received a letter from the Tuolumne Me-Wuk Tribal Council requesting custody of the remains.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with these human remains should contact Kathy Strain, Forest Archaeologist before December 12, 2015 at the Stanislaus National Forest; 19777 Greenley Road; Sonora, California 95370; or, phone (209) 532-3671 ext. 203. Custody of the remains will be given to the Tuolumne Me-Wuk Tribe after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The remains will then be reburied on the Forest.

Ortiz's neurosurgeon, Dr. Soren Singel, said Ortiz was lucky he arrived at the hospital when he did.

country at the time.

SACRAMENTO (AP) — TheCalifornia Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment recommended late Tuesday that the state put off the start of the Dungeness crab fishing season because of a potentially fatal biotoxin, as state officials scrambled to alert consumers and fishermen to a public health threat.

The recreational and commercial fisheries were slated to open Saturday and Nov. 15, respectively. It is now highly likely the seasons will be delayed indefinitely until the crab are deemed safe to eat.

The recommendation came hours after the California Department of Public Health issued an advisory warning consumers not to eat Dungeness or rock crab caught in California.

Jordan Traverso, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the agency will likely decide by the end of the week whether to delay the commercial Dungeness crab fishery.

Sonora's Colter Bassi (left, from left to right), goalie Robert Van Noord and Justus Cotrone play defense Wednesday.

Bassi (8, botttom) leads an offensive break.

The first round of the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division III Championships could not have started any better for the Sonora Wildcats boys' water polo team. The 'Cats easily beat the Livingston Wolves 19-6 Wednesday afternoon at Sonora Sport and Fitness Center. The win sets up a much anticipated rematch with Benicia.

Sonora came out firing against Livingston and quickly built a 5-0 first quarter lead. Senior Seth Farwell scored the game's first goal, and later scored two more in the quarter. Colter Bassi and Dalton Hanston each scored once.

Sonora led 7-1 after the first quarter. cWe really trusted each oth-

"We were able to move the ball a lot quicker, which really helped. We were also able to counter a lot, which also helped with our scoring."

With an 11-1 lead and 1:35 remaining in the half, Livingston got its second goal of the day on a penalty shot.

Two of the six goals scored by the Wolves were via penalty shots.

"Penalty shots are generally 'give-me' goals for the other team,"said junior goalkeeper Robby Van Noord. 'They' re extremelyhard for goalies to block. My mentality, depending on the shooter, is commit to a certain side. It's all or nothing."

That's all of us. Everybody here on the Niners. We all take a big chunk of that.

That's a concerted effortthat needs to change. This was just a decision that I wanted Colin to step back and breathe and look at things through a different lens."

Tomsula did not commit to a long-term change, saying only that Gabbert will start this week against the Falcons. The 49ers have a bye next week and then travel to Seattle on Nov. 22.

Noord finished the game with 14 saves.

"We limited their shots," Personius said. 'They were not able to generate any offense.We did a pretty goodjob of defending their drives. One thing they did do well was drive, and we did a good job limiting their opportunities."

Livingston added three, fourth quarter goals, but it was much too little, too late.

With the dominating win, Personius doesn't think his players will let it go to their heads.

"I hope we are not over confident because I think that while today was lopsided, I think to a certain extent they anticipated it," Personius said.

"I don't think it is going inflate their confidence unnecessarily. I hope it doesn' t. I don' t think that will be a problem for us."

titions in practice and on the game fiel d."

Tomsula hopes that time away from playingcan be beneficial to Kaepernick. After making a rapid rise from backup to Alex Smith to Super Bowl quarterback in his second season in 2012 under former coach Jim Harbaugh, Kaepernick's career has been on a decline the past two seasons. This year, he's bottomed out.

He took the 49ers back to the NFC title game following the 2013 season, but his performancedropped offlast year and was abysmal for the first half of this season.

He was completing 59.9 percent ofhis passes forjust 6.6 yards per attempt, with six TDs, five interceptions and a career-low 78.8 passer rating.

"It's not all Kap's fault," receiver Torrey Smith said.

"This doesn'tfall 100 percent on Kap. Unfortunately at thequarterback position, when things aren't going well, you' re going to be the person that's evaluated the most and the hardest. It's on us now to try and continue to grow and change and see if it

adds a spark."

Once considered one of the up-and-coming quarterbacks in the league because of his mobility and strong arm, Kaepernick was often wildly off-target this season.

Much of the blame from outside the organization for the Niners' woes has been directed at Kaepernick.

'That pile just keeps getting bigger," Tomsula said. "I want him out of there. This is a guy I care about a lot. This is a guy I respect a lot. This is a guy who I think has talent.

It's just me, what I'm watching, what I'm feeling, and I want him to just step back."

Kaepernick was not available to the media during the open locker room period Wednesday.

Gabbert was taken one round ahead of Kaepernick in the 2011 draft by Jacksonville, but quickly fiamed out with the Jaguars despite being the 11th overall pick.

Gabbert made 14 starts as a rookie and got the bulk of the starts his first two years in the league before losing his job early in Year 3.

Gabbert has been one of

the leasteffective quarterbacks in the league when he has played, completing just 53.2 percent of his passes, averaging 5.6 yards per attempt with 23 touchdowns, 24 interceptions and a 66.8 passer rating.

Gabbert has lost his last 10 starts since beating Indianapolis on Sept. 23, 2012, and his teams are 5-22 in his

RAIDERS Continued from PageC1 " Carr said Wednesday. "He made a point of being there.

He loves to work and he didn' t care where he had to be, he didn't care where he had to go. He was going to be there.

I think it sent a message not only to the young receivers but to this whole place about what kind of guy he is."

While first-round pick Amari Cooper has establi shed himself as one of the most explosive young wide receivers in the league, it's the 28-yearold Crabtree who leads Oakland in receptions and is tied for the team lead with three touchdown catches.

Crabtree's impact in the Raiders' locker room has been even more critical, a point

that coach Jack Del Rio and Oakland's players have emphasized whenever asked about him.

"I feel like that's what I'm supposed to do," Crabtree said. "The knowledge I' ve gained over the years, seven years in, I' ve done seen it all.

NFC championships, postseason stats . but they don't talk about that."

They are the critics who wrote Crabtreeoff after he averaged a career-low 10.3 yards a catch, the same ones who scoffed when Crabtree hit the &ee agent market only to find a handful of teams interested in him.

Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie was one of the few NFL executives intrigued by Crabtree and he signed the >reiver to a lowrisk $3.2 million, one-year con-

tract. Oakland has been reaping the benefits ever since.

Crabtreehas tied orled the Raiders in receptions in five of the team's seven games this season. He's on pace to finish with a career high in catches and match the 1,105 yards receiving he put up with the 49ers in 2012.

"I just do what I have to do," Crabtree said. "I let all the talk . they can just keep talking. But when you turn that film

o n , you ca n s ee

some guys getting after it. All I know is go do what you' re supposed to do and the film will show it."

During Oakland's 34-20 win over the New York Jets lastweek, Crabtree provided a signature moment when he scored on a 36-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter.

Warriorsthe lead.He raised hisarms to thecrowd after a 27-footer made it 103-99.

The Clippers did not go away and went ahead 106-105 when DeAndre Jordan made one of two &ee throws

with 1:16 to play. Curry answered with his seventh 3-pointer of the night to give the Warriors the lead for good as they became the fifth team to start consecutive seasons with five straight wlils.

Crabtree caught the ball in the open at the 19-yard line, ran through a pair of defenders at the 12 then muscled his way past Jets cornerback Marcus Williams at the 7 before reaching the end zone. ''We have a lot of weapons and we have a lot of hungry guys," Crabtree said. "A lot of guys want the ball, a lot of guys want to get that extra yard, and it's helping us.

We' re feeding each other and trying to get the win."

Del Rio has lauded Crabtree for his leadership, the willingness to block downfield for his teammates and for being a mentor to Cooper.

Cooper is seen as the Raiders' future, though Crabtree's performance this season has fueled talk that he should be a part of that future, too.

Crabtree won't discuss his

plans for 2016 and instead will likely wait until the offseason to decide whether or

not to return to Oakland.

Keeping Crabtree would seem a no-brainer &om Oakland's perspective. He and Cooper have been one of the most explosive tandems in the NFL so far and could finish as the first pair of Raiders wide receivers with 1,000-yard seasons since Tim Brown and Jerry Rice did it in 2001.

"We' re not dragging anything in the past, good or bad, forward," Del Rio said. "When guys come here they join our family. We ask them to be great teammates. He's been a great teammate. We asked

them to bring us whatever leadership skills they have.

He's done a great job expressing that."
