technical education to become focal point

By JASON COWAN The Union Democrat

At some point within the past two decades, vocational education in schools fell by the wayside. It happened at a time Paul De Baldo, a consultant who works pro-bono for Calaveras High School and Bret Harte High School, said the cost of the equipment, like a tool and die machine or a woodshop, became too expensive. "All of that equipment was done away with," De Baldo said. Then came the emphasis on going to collegeto obtain a four-year degree.As a result, the supply for trained and qualified workers dwindled and could not meet the demand. By 2025, 1.9 million jobs are expected to go unfilled, De Baldo said. Michael Chimente, superintendent of the Bret Harte Union High School District, said a career in technical education is not discussedas often as the four-year college option may be, but it should be.

Time to stop

Sacramento's revolving door

There's probably no hope of stopping the revolving door in Washington, D.C. anytime soon. The constant cycle of longtime Congress members and senators moving downtown from the

Capitol to take high-paying jobs as lobbyists can only be ended by Congress itself — and the prospect of big paychecks to come makes it very unlikely many so-called "citizen politicians" will e ver vote t o

end that. But S a cr amento i s different. Qn the surface, it's much the same, of course.Legislators move easil y and often from the Assembly or state Senate to lobbying jobs just as lucrative as any to be had in the nation's capital. The difference is that the people of California can effectively end this practice anytime they like, via the initiative process. The latest example of a state lawmaker taking a far more lucrative job on the side of big business came just this winter, when five-year Democratic Assemblyman Henry T. Perea departed office with a year to go in his third term, taking a job advocating for the Pharmaceutical

ally referred to as PhRMA. It is the main lobbying group for the drug companies often called Big Pharma. Perea,the son of former longtime legislator and current Fresno County Supervisor Henry Perea, will be advocating for Big Pharma in both California and Nevada, with the Nevada capital of Carson City not very far from his new Sacramento office.

He's the third California legislator in the last 30 months to leave for a higher paycheck as a lobbyist — even though state law says he can' t actuallyschmooze or gifthis former colleagues until the end of this year. That's right: Legislators only have to wait 12 months before coming back toadvocate directly among their old colleagues. Before Perea waltzed down the path toward a much bigger paycheck, former Democratic state Sen. Michael Rubio of Shafter moved to a job with Chevron and former Republican state Sen. Bill Emmerson of Riverside County moved to the California Hospital Assn. And that's just within the last 26 months. Perea madejust over $97,000 a year in the Legislature; his new employer isn't announcing hissalary,but bet on itbeing atleast double what he drew in office. Perea, father of two young children with a third on the way, probably can use the extra cash. Big Pharma had invested in him earlier, too, donating nearly $50,000 to his campaigns in the 2013-14 election cycle. This is enough to make some wonder whether the new job might be a reward for past favors, perhapseven a reward that was promised even before those favors were done.

The very short one-year lobbying prohibition makes it attractive for big industries to hire lawmakers who once voted on bills vital to their interests. Twelve months often isn't long in the life of a bill, and after that time is up, former lawmakers like Perea can be right back in the Capitol advocating among their buddies. Not that he won't be seeing them elsewhere before then. Perea, whose unofficial bio says he was "known for his skill at working the floor in the Legislature," will be doing that again very soon. He also won't have to worry any more about which fellow legislators he pleases or angers with his votes. Everyone will know where he stands — right where his employer tells him to. Even before he can officially lobby anyone in the Capitol, Perea this fall will probably be instrumental in the campaign against a prospective ballot measure that aims to limit drug prices paid by Medi-Cal and other state programs to levels negotiated by the federal Veterans Administration. It'sa joke for legislators to be able to come back andlobby their pals so soon after leaving office. There ought to be at least a five-year waiting period for them, which might cause second thoughts for some who enter politics just to get on the gravy train. This will not happen in Washington, D.C. in the foreseeable future. But it could happen in Sacramento if citizens get sufficiently fed up with legislators like Perea parlaying elected jobs into high-paying posts as influence peddlers.

GUEST COLUMN

The unmaking of 'Rubio the robot' Did one robotic moment in a single debate really bring down Marco Rubio in New Hampshire, probably finishing him off nationally? Unlikely. It's difficult to believe that voters would turn on a candidateover one gaffe — yet, somehow, it can also make perfect sense in this cycle. Either way,let' s stop pretending 2016 voters are concerned about authenticity. What they' re really asking of politicians is for better acting while delivering canned lines. Because they' re all canned lines. Nearly every candidate is a talking-point-spewing automaton. Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruzand evenmuch ofwhat Donald Trump says— isprefabricated, testedand constructed toappeal to whatever subsection of the electoratethey hope to entice. The most talented candidates can repeat those lines, jokes and touching anecdotes with the same bogus earnestness every single time. This is their real talent. I mean, even Trump — probably the only top-tier candidate regularly going off script — strings together many of the same absurdities in mindnumbing platitudinous loops, and his fans eat it up. Still, there's no question that Rubio failed to deliver on this front last week. And while he' s no more prone to offer calcu-

and probably most voters — like to turn candidates into onedimensional cartoon characters who can be easily mocked, categorized, memed and dispensed. Caricatures are easier to hate,and also easierto support. Trump the brash fighter. Mitt Romney the out-of-touch job killer. Cruz the Machiavellian meanie. Jeb the awkward establishmentarian. Bernie the purehearted ideologue. Rubio the robot. You know how it works. While this line of attack, brought on by his own performance, almost certainly had something to do with his showing in New Hampshire, I'm not fully sold on the debate theory. Whatever you make of Rubio's positions — and I'm not crazy about plenty of them — he's an impressive politician. According to CNN, voters broke away from Rubio at the end, but exit polls (and you can take them for what they are) show that while the

Other than his third place "win" in Iowa, Rubio has done nothing to distinguish his candidacy. His middling poll numbers have never suggested a clear path through the crowded moderate/establishment/governors field. In his own weird way, Trump has clogged this "moderate" path. Bush and Chris Christie, theoretically the closest ideologically to Rubio, have worked to sink him. And they probably

Of the same 100, 42 finish school and immediately enter the workforce. The rest drop out. Chimente said students need to be prepared for both career and college by the end of high school. It can happen, he said, if parents are aware of the benefits of technical education. "Itisimportant to get students to explore as

An EighthGrade Student and Parent Expo will be held March 16 at Bret Harte, where incoming &eshmen will have the opportunity to tour the school, visit vocational education classesand learn about the career and technical education process. Also at the expo will be Michelle McIntosh, an education programs consultant with California Department of Education. "What I'm hoping is for parents to understand that what we' re trying to do is provide opportunities for students," Chimente said. "Even students that are college bound." The expo contributes to what De Baldo considers a transformation in the revival of the career and technical education concept. He added that the junior colleges, industry involvement and local school management supplement the change. The community college level provides the training, the industry expresses the need for

De Baldo said the country is falling behind others with education. "Kids are not ready to take the job," De Baldo said. It does not mean young adults are career ready immediately following high school graduation, however. De Baldo said a career and technical education assumes, in addition to high school, an individual obtains the training needed to accept a job. Individuals can work while obtaining credentials.

Third-grader Nani Turro, 9 (right), uses a strong breath to propel a paper rocketship into the air.

Proceedsfrom food sales will benefit the Tuolumne County Master Gardeners, while all profits from the door fee will be donated back to FoCuS. The purpose of FoCuS is to encourage people tobe less reliant on food being "trucked" in, and rather be more selfreliant by growing own food, said Val Dambacher, a member of FoCuS and the Tuolumne County Master Gardeners. The Master Gardeners generally use their money to benefit school gardens, while the FoCuS group will use their proceedsto purchase more seeds forthe following year and will contribute supportfor the local and school gardens as well. "I'm so excited that we' re going to have an early spring," Dambacher said.

February is also a good time to survey your garden and plan for the oncoming year. Make decisions about what comes out and what stays in. Sit down with your honey, your garden books, seed catalogs and make a plan. What is it you are trying to achieve? Play space for the kids? Pretty flowers to gaze upon? Herbs for the cook? Whatever you decide, you' ll probably get a better effect by planting a mass of one variety rather than a smorgasbord of many. To determine what does wellinyour garden you may have to succumb to the trialand-error method. There are many factors t o

Plant a container with interesting plants and foliage and give it as a gift. Hold on. Did I say plant a container? For a container plant in your own garden, you may have to wait until spring when all danger of frost has subsided. Check the garage for an old pot not in use. Then fill the first few inches with gravel or pieces of a broken terracotta pot.Nextcomes the soil — planter's mix from the nursery is best. Then plant a combinationof leaf textures and colorM annuals, ground covers or perennials. Just be certain they all have the same water and sun requirements.

"People look for their cats differently than their dogs," Weiss said. "Overall use of collar IDs is lower for cats than dogs. And the likelihood of you being reunited is lower if it's a cat. People wait longer to look and about 25 percent don't come home." Weiss said she was astonished by the findings of a 2011 study about collars and identification tags. Over 80 percentof pet owners said it was extremely important for pets to have them, but only 30 percent of those same owners said their pets wore them. Matt Hucke lives in a small

Man troubled by wife's pet purchasing problem DEAR ANNM My wife has gotten so many animals that it is out of control. Every time she gets upset or sad, she goes out and purchases another animal. Right now, we own eight cats, four bunnies, six rats, two cows and two horses. Our

house smells like cat feces and our yard smells like cow and horse poop. Whenever we eat, the cats jump onto the table and try to eat our food. And she doesn't clean the litter box often enough, so it's gross and embarrassing when anyone comes to visit. I can see the guests gagging. I'm not sure if I should tell her, leaveher be,or just get rid of some of the animals when she is at work. It has gotten so unmanageable that I' ve been thinking about a divorce.GROSSED OUT DEAR GROSSED OUT: Absolutely speak up. Animals are not security blankets to be accumulated when one is feeling down.

Annie's Mailbox gotten out of control and you are going to eall the Humane Society and let them take the m¹ljOrity of the animals because it is unhealthy for them, as well as you, to be in this haphazard environment. DEAR ANNIE: I'm writing about the letter from 'The Husband," whose wife is an art class model for a neighbor. He is making more out of this than it deserves. Many years ago when I was an ari; student in college, I had to take life-drawing ut I was also a model. My wife was OK with the idea. We both knew several of the students. As you pointed out, Annie, it is not a sexual situation. The students are more interested in honing their drawing skills. The instruc-

classyb

tor is more focused on the students' drawings than the model, and the model is concentrating on holding the pose without shifbng or moving. Most schools welcome outside models asit provides a wider range ofbody types and sizesthan would be found within the student body. I think being familiar with the neighbor is better — why pose nude for a stranger? And most importantly, after class, she comes home to her husband. — A READER IN MICHIGAN DEAR MICHIGAN: Thanks for your viewpoint. We heard from a great many readers oathis subject. Read on for more: DEARANNIE: Here's another suggestion: The husband could volunteer his services as a model. This actually would serve two purposes: He would understand his wife's experience, and male models are hard to come by. — JUST A THOUGHT FROM AN ARTIST'S PERSPECTIVE DEAR ANME: I don't feel that

Urbanization leads to change in pe of bacteria in the home WASHINGTON (AP) — Whether it's a jungle hut or a high-rise apartment, your home is covered in bacteria, and new research from the Amazon suggests city dwellers might want to open a window. Scientists traveled from remote villages in Peru to a large Brazilian city to begin tracking the effects of urbanization on the diversityof bacteria in people's homes. It's a small first step in a larger quest — understanding how different environmental bugs help shape what's called our microbiome, the trillions of bacteria that share our bodies and play a critical role in our health. "Very little is known about the microbes of the built environment," microbiologist Maria Gloria Dominguez-Bello of New York University, who led the pilot study, said at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Her team found that as people living in the Amazon rainforest become more urbanized, the kinds PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: HELEN JENNETTE BEHRBAUM CASE NUMBER PR-11287 To all heirs,

Walls were acting as traps as people shed bacteria,compared with the less urban homes open to aircirculation,the team reported. Dominguez-Bello was so struck by the findings that she insisted the windows in her New York office be unsealed so she could open them. She next will compare the microbiomes of the residents with their homes. There's a balancing act, she acknowledged: Microbiome theories aside, these rural populations are exposed to their own set of infectious threats, including no screens to keep out disease-carryingmosquitoes. Still, the findings reflect research in U.S. homes and hospitals about the role of ventilation, said microbiologist Jack Gilbert of the Argonne National Laboratory and University of Chicago, who wasn't involved in the study. His own housing study was able to match which family lived where by the bacteria they shed inside. "Our modern homes are set up perfectly for doing microbial forensics," he said.

"They played great basketball." Summerville did not come within single digits of the deficit until late in the third quarter — down nine though Sonora responded. Summerville remained within striking distance however, which head coach Ben Watson said was the goal going into the final frame. "Our goal was to get within 10," Watson said. "I told them at halftime, if we could get within 10, eight or something like that going into the fourth quarter, we would feel pretty good. We could just chip away I'rom that."

Mejia is Curry in Toronto at height of his powers banned for life NEW YORK (AP) Mets reliever Jenrry Mejia became the first player to receive a lifetime ban under Major League Basw ball's drug agreement after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance for the third time. The commissioner's office said Friday that Mejia tested positive for the anabolic steroid Boldenone, which athletes have used to increase muscle mass and once was popular for use in horse racing. The 26-year-old righthander was the Mets' closer in 2014, then was suspended for 80 games last April 11 following a positive test forStanozolol,a drug popular among bodybuilders. At the time, he said, "I can honestly say I have no idea how a banned substance ended up in my system." Mejia returned July 12, appeared in seven games for New York, then was banned for 162 games on July 28 after a positive test for Stanozolol and Boldenone. "I t h in k

n o t s u r p ris-

ingly there's a tremendous amount of disappointment, I think to some extent, anger,to some extent,amaze-

ment that this could happen so soon afier a previous suspension was completed," Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said then. 'This is the consequence of making bad choices." The Mets said Friday they "were deeply disappointed." The Major League Baseball Players Association declined comment, and a spokesman for Mejia's agents said the pitcher had no comment.

Under pressure &om Congress to toughen their drug p r ogram, m ajor league players and teams agreed in November 2005 that a third positive test for PEDs would result in a lifetime ban. His 162-game suspension had matched the longest under the big league program, a year-long ban served by the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez in 2014 that originally was 211 games beforean arbitrator reduced it. Mejia may apply one year &om now to baseball Commissioner Rob Man&ed for reinstatement, and Manfred at his discretion has the power to let Mejia back in baseball — but no earlierthan for the 2018 season. If an application is made and denied, Mejia couldask baseball'sarbitrator to end the ban, claiming the penalty is without ')ust cause." The arbitrator cannot reduce the ban to less than two years. Outfielder Josh Hamilton, then in the minor leagues, was suspended severaltimes for drugs of abuse &om 2003-05 but was allowed to return each time. During a time when there was not a drug agreement, Steve Howe was sus-

pended for life by Commissioner Fay Vincent in 1992 after the pitcher's seventh drug- or alcohol-related incident.Arbitrator George Nicolau said doctors concluded Howe suffered &om Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and cut the suspension to time served, which was 119 days. No players have been banned for life under the minor league drug progi'alii.

A Dominican signed by the Mets in 2007, Mejia reached the major leagues in 2010 and became their closer in 2014, when he had 28 saves in 31 chances. He is 9-14 with a 3.68 ERA in 18 startsand 95 relief appearances.

Mejia began last year as the Mets' doser, but couldn't get loose while warming up on opening day at Washington and went on the disabled list with elbow infiammation.

Sung Kang flirts with 59 and doesn't have a clue PEBBLE BEACH ( A P) — Sung Kang didn't know anything about his amateur partner until he went on the Internet and looked up actor Ray Romano. He didn't realize the par at Monterey Peninsula was 71 until he scrambled for par on his final hole and realized while signing his card Friday that he set the course record with a careerlow 60. It added toa memorable day at th e AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where Kang and Kroshi Iwata of Japan wound up tied for the lead. "I feel like I'm living a dream right now," Kang said. Kang and Phil Mickelson each brought the possibility

Lefty usually doesn't hit great shots that go 6 feet unless he has a putter. Then, he nearly lost his tee shot on the final hole and made another bogey for a 65, leaving him one shot behind. "I thought I was going to shoot a lot lower than I did," Mickelson said. "I didn't expecttoplay 1 over coming in. But I'm not going to complain becauseI made a lot ofgood putts on the &ont." He goes to Pebble Beach on Saturday as he goes after a record-tying fifth win in this event.

"I'm 1 under on the par 5s, and from where I' ve been, they have pretty much all been par 4s for me," Spieth said. "So it almost feels like I'm playing them 7 over." Rose thought Monterey Peninsula was difficult because the greens are not as pure as th e other courses.

Then he was told that Kang was at 11 under and playing his final hole and Rose smiled and said, 'The greens are obviously perfect." Kang couldn't agree more. He lost track of the number of birdie putts he made in the 15-foot range, saying they were "too many t o

Some of them he read on his own. Other times he brought in the experience of his caddie, Mike 'Flut" Cowan, who is working for Kang while Jim Furyk recovers &om wrist surgery. And the 28-year-old South Korean had an actor at his side cheering him along. Romano, who has become a regular at this event, wasn' t sure the name of his partner earlier in the week. No offense taken. Kang didn't know him, either. "One of my buddiescame up and said, 'Oh, you' re with Ray. He's very famous, Kang said. "I did some research on it. I Googled Ray and he was like on a really famous TV show

Kang had three birdies and an eagle on the back nine to start his round, picked up a pair of birdies early on the front nine and then poured it on with three straight birdies that brought him to 11 under with only the par-3 ninth remaining. "I still thought the par was 72," he said. He hit what he called his worst shot of the day, a big cut that came up short and in the

rough. He chipped to 15 feet and saved par. "It was just going in every single time," he said. Jason Day had a 66 at Monterey Peninsula to get within five shots of the lead. Patrick Reed, playing alongside Mickelson, had six birdies in a seven-hole stretch on the back nine and also was at 6 under.

Divots: Monterey Peninsula was the only course that played under par on Friday, just barely. Pebble Beach again played the toughest by a small margin over Spyglass Hill.... Ryan Palmer made a hole-in-one on the third hole at Spyglass Hill.

Thomspon goes for AllStar 3s upset of Curry TORONTO (AP) — Klay Thompson believes, even if he knows many don' t. He knows how good Stephen Curry is, so he couldn' t have been terribly surprised when he was told during NBA All-Star player interviews that "everyone" thinks his Golden State Warriors teammate is going to win the 3-point contest Saturday night. "Everybody thinks that? Oh, wow," Thompson said. "There's got to be a few who think Klay has a chance. I mean, I don't mean to refer to myself in the third person, but there's a few out there, I think. I'm one of them. Hopefully "RRt my brothers, and probably the rest of the world thinks Steph. That's fine. I' ll play the underdog for a night." A heavy underdog, at least according to one betting site. Curry was made a 10 to 11 favorite Friday by Bovada, meaning an$11 wager would only pay $10.Kobe Bryant also picked Curry when asked. The 3-point contest takes place between the Skills Challenge and slam dunk contest, but it may be the main event with the Splash Brothers from the NBA champions leading the field. Thompson made it to the final round last year along with Kyrie Irving, but they were blown away when Curry made 13 straightshots and set a record with 27 points. Bovada listed Thompson as the second choice at 9 to 2, and he's looking forward to another chance at the NBA's record holderfor 3-pointers in a season. "There's only a few times me and him get to compete

against each other. We always go against each other in practice, soit'scooltodoiton arealstage,"Thompson said. "It's going to be a fun round, because you' re going to need two perfect rounds to beat Steph." Other things to watch during All-Star Saturday: Zach's back: The slam dunk contest has largely become a one-and-done event, but Minnesota's Zach LaVine is back for a chance to repeat aker his high-fiying performance last year in Brooklyn. Nobody has won two in a row since Nate Robinson in 2009-10. He defends against Denver's Will Barton, Orlando's Aaron Gordon and Detroit All-Star Andre Drummond.

If not a splash brother: The Warriors' backcourt partners face a field that includes two more All-Stars in Houston's James Harden and Toronto's James Harden, plus the Clippers' J.J. Redick, Milwaukee's Khris Middleton, Phoenix rookie Devin Booker and Portland's CJ McCollum.
