This week is Preteen Vaccine Week in California, a campaign by the state Department of Public Health and local public health offices to make sure parents know what is required and recommended for students entering seventh grade this fall. State law requires that incoming seventh-graders have a diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTP) booster. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also recommends that 11- and 12 year-olds get vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV), meningococcal diseases, chickenpox and influenza. Parents often understand they need to take their kids to the doctor to get immunizations when they are young, but should also know kids need more when they are preteens, said Dr. Liza Ortiz, Tuolumne County's public health officer.

think it's a person who doesn't want to take overly risks. I think that's a good thing." On Tuesday, establishment Republican favorite columnist David Brooks of The New York Times wrote a column called "I Miss Barack Obama." In it, he pilloried Senators Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and lamented that Obama "radiates an ethos of integrity, humanity, good manners and elegance that I'm beginning to miss." In October, Brooks defined conservatism thusly: "conservatism stands for intellectual humil-

ity, a belief in steady, incremental change, a preference for reform rather than revolution, a respectfor hierarchy,precedence,balance and order, and a toneofvoice thatisprudent, measured and responsible." Neitherofthese definitions are correct,of course. But the fact that Trump and Brooks largelyagree on the definition of conservatism while fighting each other tooth and nail demonstrates why conservatism is losing. Both Trump and Brooks think that conservatism is mainly an attitude. It's not a set of

principles and policies; it's not a philosophy of human freedom and small government. Instead,conservatism ismerely an orientation toward change: Trump wants slow change, and so does Brooks. So where do they disagree? They disagree about whether conservatism is militant attitude in pursuit of slow change (Trump) or whether conservatism is elegance in pursuit of slow change (Brooks). Trump thinks ," presumably; Brooks Brooks is a "p thinks Trump is a vulgarian. Neither one is actually conservative, and yet they' re fighting for the mantle of conservative leadership. The problem, of course, is that conservatism has very little to do with attitude. Conservatism demands Constitutionalism, and in the aftermath of a century of progressive growth of government — including growth at the hands of so-called conservatives — change need not be gradual. The attitude matters less than the goal. We can have hard-charging conservatives like Mark Levin; we can have 10-dollar-word conservatives like many of the writers at National Review. What we can't have is nonconservatives redefining conservatism as an attitude, and

then ignoring the underlying philosophy. Yet that's precisely what we have in this race. The entire Republican race thus far has avoided policy differentiations in favor of cri tiques ofattitudes. Who ismore palatable, the shifty-seeming Cruz, or the smoothtalking Rubio? Who is more worthwhile, the brusque Chris Christie (who dropped out of the race on Wednesday) or the milquetoast Jeb Bush? Who cares? Republicans have spent so long in the wilderness that they' ve forgotten what animated them in the first place. At some point, Republicans forgot that their job was to determine the best face for a conservative philosophy, and instead substituted the face for the philosophy. The conservatism simply fell away.

In the battle between David Brooks' pseudoconservatism and Donald Trump's pseudoconservatism, there are no winners, but thereisone major loser:conservatism itself. Conservatives need to worry less about how

they fight — whether they wear creased pants or hurl nasty insults — and instead contemplate why they' re fighting in the first place. Ben Shapiro, 32, is a graduate of UCLA and Harvard Law School, a radio host

Why women {and men} should be for Hillary There is one reason young women should support Hillary Clinton for president. It happens to be,in m yjudgment anyway, precisely the same reason men should support her: because she is, by leaps and bounds, the only candidate in the race with the experience necessary to lead this country. Indeed, The New York Times, in endorsing her candidacy, noted that she was among the most experienced people ever to seek the presidency. And what about the fact she is a woman. Should women support a woman they disagree with on fundamental issues, just because she is a woman? I wouldn' t, and I have described myself as afeministfor the last40 years.I didn't support Sarah Palin, even though I took issue with the sexist attacks on her by some of my liberal "friends." Years ago, I remember the endless inter-

nal discussions about whether groups such as the Women's Campaign Fund should support women candidates who were taking on men who shared our liberal views. I always thought not. Make no mistake: I am the fi rst to recognize that having a significant number of women in the room changes the dynamicofany meeting; and Ihave no doubt that electing Hillary Clinton as president would bring a host of positive changes for women around the world.

Corrections chief aims to change prison culture

MOSLEY Continued from Page Al would always strum the guitar. "The party had an Elvis impersonator to come and perform," Clawson said. "I think that was one of the things that drove her to get home as quickly as possible." She was outgoing and personable. Whenever Clawson had dinner at the Groveland Hotel — owned by Mosley since 1990 — he said he would constantly see her mingling with the guests, asking questions like 'how was your dinner?' and 'where are you &om?' "She wouldchat up every patron in the place," Clawson said. In conversation, Mosley would leave no doubt. She had thoughts and expressed them. She was not a wallflower, but she did not overdo it. She was engaging, straightforward and &ank, yet pleasant to speak with. "She was Peggy," Clawson said. She was extremely active in the community. In addition to her roles as the innkeeper and with the Yosemite Highway 108 Chamber of Commerce, she was amember oftheTuolumne County Planning Commission and was active in the California Hotel and Lodging Association. "She was always on the go," Clawson said."She was always looking to help individuals and help organizations."

Kernan worked his way up throughmanagement ata time when California prisons were socrowded that federal judges eventually set a limit on the inmate population. Crowded conditions meant a violent atmosphere, few rehabilitation programs and an us-against-them attitude from guards, Kernan said. "It's just emotional survival.

Altering that culture is his top prior ity as secretary,now that prisons are less crowded and state policymakers are emphasizing inmate rehabilitation, he said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Preuention and local experts urge caution to avoid exposure to Zika virus. By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

Planning a trip this spring or summer? People traveling to Latin America, some Pacific islands and a small portion of Africa in the coming months should take care to avoid mosquito bites in light of the Zika virus.

The good news is that there is little to no 'sk of anyone locally getting the virus, said ' Dr. rtiz, Tuolumne County's public office .

No loc ran s mitted Zika cases have bee ort e d in the continental United States, but cases have been reported in returning travelers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. If an infected person comes to the Mother Lode,the disease cannot be passed from

• Do not use insect repellent on babies younger than 2 months old. • Dress your child in clothing that covers arms and legs, or cover crib, stroller and baby carrier with mosquito netting. • Do not apply insect repellent onto a child's hands, eyes, mouth, and cut or irritated skin. • Spray insect repellent onto your hands and then apply to a child' s

face. •Treat clothing and gear with permethrin or purchase permethrintreated items. • Treated clothing remains protective after multiple washings.

Other viruses transmitted by mos-

quitoes and found in tropical areas include chikungunya, dengue, yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis. Mosquitoes that spread Zika virus also spread dengue and chikungunya viruses, the CDC said. "If you are traveling, you should be cautious of all mosquito-borne illnesses," Ortiz said.

Peopletraveling to tropicalareas should avoidmosquito bitesby wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants and insect repellent. Make sure to apply sunscreen before bug spray, Ortiz said. There havebeen 66 people diagnosed with the Zika virus in the U.S., according to the CDC. All cases were travel-related except forone.In thatcase,the virusis believed to have been transmitted via sexual contact from aninfected traveler to a partner. The most common symptoms of Zika virus are fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lastingfrom several days to a week. There is no vaccine or specific medicine to treat Zika virus infections.

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation. They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h©uniondemocrat.corn

versity Food and Brand Lab have found that when it comes to eating foods labeled "healthy," the same thing is true. Many folks eat too much of those good things (because they think that healthy foods are less filling or that an extra serving can't hurt), and they end up losing in a healthier life! Prepared foods like granola or organic butternut squash soup can lull you into the mistaken idea that theirsuperstar qualities erase the risk of taking in excess calories and added sugars (check those labels). The solution? Portion control. Your cereal bowl should hold just 1 cup of 100 percent whole grains. Eat off a 9-inch lunch or dinner plate, and fill half of it with vegetables and fruits, and the other half with lean protein (beans, lentils, skinless chicken, sea trout or salmon) and unrefined starches like quinoa or brown rice.

The Cowboy called Forgetful Jones is a Sesame Street character who can't even remember that he needs his horse to take a ride around his ranch. That's cute, except when it's children who have problems with their working memory. That may happen because of hearing issues, ADHD or developmental difficulties, and it can lead to problems with reading, learning and social interaction. A recent Canadian study found that preschoolers with a good working memory were much more likely to stay in school as teens. If you notice that your child has a hard time following instructions, remembering what comes next in games or seems forgetful, you can help: • Have your child teach you. Did he learn to jump rope? Have him instruct you in how it's done. • Limit exposure to digital devices for kids 5 and younger. The research-

mine cognitive control." • Don't overload your child with information or tasks. Avoid saying, "Pick up your coat from the floor and hang itup, and then grab a drink &om the pantry." One thing at a time. • Teach visualization skills. Encourage your child to create a picture (initially by drawing, eventually just by imagining) of what he/she's just read or heard. • Play soft, pleasing music while your child does tasks. As we mention in our book 'YOU: Raising a Child," exposure to music can improve memory.

And, remember: By working with specialists and helping your child with memory problems, you can see substantial improvements in focus, learning and social interaction.

Today in history Today is Thursday, Feb. 11, the 42nd day of 2016. There are 324 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Feb. 11, 1812, Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry signed a redistricting law favoring his Democratic-Republican Party - giving r ise to the term "gerryr n a dering." On this date: In 660 B.C., tradition holds that Japan was founded as Jimmu ascended the throne as the country's first emperor. In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Fort Donelson began in Tennessee. (Union forces led by Brig. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant captured the fort five days later.) In 1929, the Lateran Treaty was signed, with Italy recognizing the independence and sovereignty of Vatican City. In 1937, a six-week-old sit-down strike against General Motors ended, with the company agreeing to recognize the United Automobile Workers Union. In 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Josef Stalin signed the Yalta Agreement, in which Stalin agreed to declare war against lrnerial Japan following Nazi Germany's capitulation. In 1972, McG raw-Hill Publishing Co. and Life magazine canceled plans to publish what had turned out to be a fake autobiography of reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes. In 1986, Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky was released by the Soviet Union after nine years of captivity as part of an East-West prisoner exchange. In 1990, South African black activist Nelson Mandela was freed after 27 years in captivity.

oneyear contract. The deal was completed just before thescheduledstartof their salary arbitration hearing Wednesday. The agreement was $200,000 below the midpoint between the $75 million Belt had asked for and the $5.3 million the Giants had offered when figures were exchanged last month. Belt made $3.6 million last year, and Giants general manager Bobby Evans expressed interest in signing Belt to a multiyear contract before the 2016 season. Belt traveled to Florida in February 2014 for an arbitration hearing that was avoided at last minute when the sides settled just beforehand to avoid what would have been the team's first hearing since catcher A.J. Pierzynski in 2004. The 27-year-old Belt batted .280 with 18 home runs and 68 RBls last year as the Giants missed the playoffs.

Fantasy sports companies dehnd industry BOSTON (AP) —Daily fantasy sports companies say their industry remains viable despite a rocky start to 2016. The industry's top companies, DraftKings and FanDuel, are on the defensive after taking hits to their businesses in recent weeks as scrutiny by state policymakers across the country continues to intensify. This week, it was disclosed that ESPN and DraftKings ended an exclusive advertising deal and FanDuel confirmed Wednesday it had laid off 55 workers in its Orlando, Florida office. ESPN and DraftKings declined to comment on the end of their partnership, which was announced lastJune and made DraftKings the network's official daily fantasy sports offering.

He is helping the Redskins win with both the big things, scoring in double digits multiple times, or the smaller things like blocking a shot or pulling down rebounds. At this point in his young career, there is not much that Cline cannot do. "He takes the pressure off of a lot of us," said teammate Dylan Byrd. "He's giving us second chances by getting those rebounds. I think he' s the most dominating post player in the league. He' s consistent and he makes a differencein every game." One of the most exciting aspects ofCline's game is the ability to throw down a power dunk. Like a home run in baseball, or a breakaway touchdown in football, a slam dunk is one of the most exciting plays on the hardwood. And Cline has no problem showing off his elevation sensation and jamming it home.

NBA Odds high Spieth has good time at Pebble PEBBLE BEACH (AP) — Jordan Spieth rarely sees a shotas impossible,som etimes when he doesn't even have a club in his hand. Walking ofF the 15th tee at Pebble Beach earlierthis week, he noticed a golf ball that had gone well over the 14thgreen.Spieth ofFeredto throw it back to the group behind him, only that would have been too simple. "Give me odds," he said to caddie Michael Greller. The challenge was to throw the ball into the hole. He was 75 feet away looking down to a back pin on a green that sloped severely away from him. Impossible. Spieth cupped the ball in his left hand and Hipped it underhanded, high and with backspin. It landed in the rough, hopped onto the green and ... missed by a few inches. He also wanted odds on getting up-and-down from a plugged lie in the bunker to a short-sided pin at No. 8 (missed again). Think back to last summer at St. Andrews when Spieth was going for the Grand Slam. After his third round Sunday, he e~ in a tense duel with Greller on who could throw a golf ball some 20 yards away into a carton on the practice ~ (S p ieth made). It's a way to laugh a lot and keep it light, and a big part of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am is all about that. Some see this tourna-

ment as a burden. The rounds can approach six hours because they are played in foursomes with amateurs. Saturday at Pebble Beach can be a distraction because it's all about the celebrities, like the time Bill Murray tossed an elderlywoman intoa bunker. The weather can be dicey (not this week). Others see the Pebble Beach Pro-Am for what it is — a week that brin@ togetherthe professional and amateur game. Spieth played his first year with Dallas quarter-

back Tony Rorno, and the last two with country star Jake Owen. Dustin Johnson plays with Wayne Gretzky. And nowhere else but Pebble will you see this on a tee sheet — Tim Herron and Larry the Cable Guy. "This week, it's so unique and it's so much fun," Spieth said. "I say that because of the pairin@ that I' ve had now the last four years. How can you not have fun?

Spieth appears to have a decent golfer at his side. Owen beat him in their match at Cypress Point on Tuesday (Spieth gave him nine shots). Owen, meanwhile, has been around Spieth enough to see him ask for odds and call a shot, and every now and then deliver on his pledge. Consider a charity event in Owen's hometown ofVero Beach, Florida. They were in the middle ofthe 13th fairway,98yards from the pin, about 100 fans following along in the fairway and 1,000 waiting behind the green to see the No. 1 player in Vero Beach. "He looks at me and says, 'All right what are the odds? I'm going to make this,"' Owen said. 'Tm like, You' re 98 yards out in the middle of the fairway.' Without missing a beat, he just steps up, hits the shot in the air. He's like, 'Pay up.' And I'm sitting there watching. It hits 3 feet behind the pin, and with all these people watching, spins back and goes in the hole. And he looks at me and I'm like, This doesn't happen with normal people.' "

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sacramento Kings coach George Karl said Wednesday he has a positive outlook after meeting with team general manager Vlade Divac amid a losing streak and speculation about his job. Karl said before the Kings-76ers game in Philadelphia that he and Divac are on the same page. 'Tve always felt good about Vlade. I don't think Vlade and I have a disconnect other than we want to win more games than we' re winning right now," Karl said. "And that's fine with me. Everyone should want to win more games." Sacramento is 21-31 and has lost eight of its last nine. After Wednesday's game, Karl said the team would go home for the All-Star break to "regroup and ~perate." Divac said in a statement that Karl "is our coach and we' re coHeclively working through our issues." He told The Associated Press before the game that the team's defense must improve. Sacramento is allowing a league-worst 109.1 points per game andhas given up 120.8 over a four-game losing streak. "Defensively, we are not good," Divac said. 'That's something we have to improve big. It would make a difference. Our offense is stable, but defensively we go on and ofK" Divac said he believes in his players, but didn' t rule out adding piers to help defensively — or in other areas — before next Thursday's ~ deadline. "We do have what we need, but still like every other organization, if it's something that will improve us we will do it," he said. "But, now, we are happy with the group." Karl declined toofFermorespecifi csabouttheir meeting. The coach said speculation about his job won' t add extra pressure. "That's your world," he said. 'My world is basketball, the gym and players. Your world is interpretation, innuendo, gossip. I'm not into it." Kings star DeMarnm Cousins and Karl have struggled to work together. The All-Star center has not hid his emotions or frustrations. Karl says he thinks the team's funk is tempo-

Bryant makes final appearanae in Cleveland, Love hurts shoulder CLEVELAND (AP) — Kobe Bryant's final game in Cleveland was reduced to a sideshow when Cavaliers forward Kevin Love reinjured his surgically repaired left shoulder in the first half of a 120111 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night. Kyrie Irving scored a seasonhigh 35 points and LeBron James 29 for the Cavs, who head into the All-Star break with one of their "Big 3" injured. Love quickly left the floor late in the second quarter after he got hurt while working in the post against Bryant. He did not return in the second half, and the Cavs did not provide any specifics about his injury. Bryant finished with 17 points in his last performance in Cleveland. Lou Williams scored 28 to lead the Lakers, who have dropped 13 of 15.

Spurs tip Magic onLeonard's shot in final sennds ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Kawhi Leonard scored 29 points and drilled a jumper from the tip of the key with 0.9 on the clock to lift San Antonio to a win over Orlando. LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 points and Patty Mills added 17 pointsand seven assistsfor the Spurs, who won their fourth straight game. Evan Fournier, whose 3-pointer tied the game with 13.3 seconds left, led Orlando with 28 points. Nikola Vucevic had 20 points and 13 rebounds, Victor Oladipo scored 14 and Elfrid Payton had 13 points and seven assists. Payton missed an open layup at the buzzer that could have tied it.

Meanwhile, he says he won't be bothered by the criticism that comes with losing. "When you' re younger, you' re always a little more into what people are saying and what people think of you," said the 64-year-old Karl, who is coaching his sixth NBA team after time in Cleveland, Golden State, Seattle, Milwaukee and Denver.
