The Calaveras County Master Gardeners' Demonstration Garden will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 28. There will also be a plant sale from 10 a.m. to noon. The Master Gardener presentation will begin at 10:30 a.m. The demonstration garden is at 891 Mountain Ranch Road, San Andreas.

In August 2014, Tuolumne County's InnovationLab had its grand opening. The InnovationLab is a location dedicated toprogrammers, game developers, makers, entrepreneurs, startups, and technology businesses. It is a secured member-

ship-basedfacility thatwas created forthe do-it-yourself designer. The InnovationLab features technology classes, maker space, prototyping tools, co-working space and much more. For more information go to: www.myinnovationlab.org. Prior toAugust, I was asked to create

a design scheme for the lab. Comprised of nearly6,000 square feetand located on the third floor of the old Tuolumne General Hospital, the "new" space needed a departure from its former institutional use and subdued color palette. No structural reno-

vation was allowed. The only soft furnishings added were padded offi ce chairs and a few area rugs. The remaining hard furnishings that were

added consisted of technology and "maker space" equipment. For a design challenge like this, how do you completely transform the look, feel and mood of the space? You do it with applied

Plant of the Month Calaveras County Master Gardeners have declared Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) as Plant of the Month. The species is native to Southern Europe and parts ofAsia and is a popular ornamental plant for the flower garden. It is a shortlived perennial that grows 1 to 2 feet tall but will readily reseed new plants. It will grow in zones 3 through 9 and blooms in spring and early summer. The flowers range in color from white, pink, red, and purple to variegated patterns and is agreatcutflower. It attracts bees, butterflies and birds. SweetWilliam plants will be available for sale from 10 a.m. to noon March 28 at the Calaveras County Master Gardeners' Demonstration Garden, 891 Mountain Ranch Road in San Andreas. Anyone with gardening questions can call the Calaveras County Master Gardeners helpline at 754-2880.

The color scheme would need to support the philosophy and mission of the lab. The color scheme would also need to translate

well to a range of printed support materials such as business cards, brochures and

signage. As referenced above,the existing color scheme was extremely muted. It consisted

of pale grays, pinks, blues and greens and,

while favorable to a hospital environment, it was not ideal for an innovative environment. The new color scheme needed to inspire and energize and provide an atmosphere conducive to research and development, collaboration and education. The

scheme also needed to provide some visual warmth with respect to the myriad ofhard surfaces and fluorescentlightingprevalent throughout the space. Choosing the "warm" color was the start-

ing point. No color conveys warmth, or heat, like the color orange. Comprised of a warm red and a warm yellow, orange is the warmest

of all colors. It is at once cheerful, inviting and festive. The shade of orange paint I chose for the project said it all — "Field Poppy." Envision the vibrant and i ntense or-

Once this dominant color was selected, it was time to determine the secondary and accent colors. The secondary color would not cover as much surface area as the dominant color, but would certainly cover more surface area than the accent color.

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 houniondemocrat.com

Brother worried about family memorabilia DEAR ANNIE: My dad was a proud veteran of WWII. When he died 20 years ago, he willed his medals to my brother "Jim" and the Bible he carried during the war to my brother

"Ray." Eventually, Ray gave the Bible to Jim. My mother also gave other army memorabilia to Jim, thinking it

when he dies, he's passing on all of Dad's things to "Margret," his second wife. Margret met my father only once. Jim has no children, but the rest of us do. Several of my nieces and nephews have a keen interest in their ancestry and would love to own these war mementos.

I suggested to Jim that he consider passing on Dad's things to the next generation,but was forcefully told they were going to Margret. I realize that these items belong to Jim now, and he can do what he wishes with them, but I'm extremely upset

DEAR HOLDING: Bad breath can come from a lack of dental hygiene, but also from gum disease, infections or even gastrointestinal problems. Most of these are things that can be treated. Tell your husband you are concerned about his health because of his terrible halitosis. Suggest that he see his dentist to check for underlying problems, and if that doesn't remedy things, that he talk to his doctor. You must be honest and explain that you want to kiss him more, but he first needs to deal with this. Dentists are more sensitive to patients' phobias these days and will take gentle care of him.

Today is Thursday, March 19, the 78th day of 2015. There are 287 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On March 19, 1945, during World War II, 724 people were killed when a Japanese dive bomber attacked the carrier USS Franklin off Japan; the ship, however, was saved. Adolf Hitler ordered the destruction of German facilities that could fall into Allied hands in his so-called "Nero Decree," which was largely disregarded. On this date: In 1918, Congress approved daylight saving time. In 1931, Nevada Gov. Fred B. Balzar signed a measure legalizing casino gambling. In 1965, the wreck of the Confederate cruiser Georgiana was discovered by E. Lee Spence, 102 years to the day after it had been scuttled. In 1976, Buckingham Palace announced the separation of Princess Margaret and her husband, the Earl of Snowdon, after 16 years of marriage. In 1979, the U.S. House of Representatives began televising its floor proceedings; the live feed was carried by C-SPAN (Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network), which was making its debut. In 1987, televangelist Jim Bakker resigned as chairman of his PTL ministry organization amid a sex and money scandal involving J essica H ahn, a former church secretary. In 2003, President George W. Bush ordered the start of war against Iraq (Because of the time difference, it was early March 20 in Iraq.)

A key play for third hand By PHILLIP ALDER

Whatever North chooses, though, four spades will be the finaI contract. At trick one, East must play the club jack. Why? Here, South wins the trick with his ace and leads a trump, putting West back in. Trick one told West that East holds the club queen (otherwise, South would have taken the first trick with that card, not with the ace). So West should see that it is right to lead another low club. East will win with his queen and should shift to a heart. West takes two tricks in that suit for down one. (If West has a diamond winner coming, it isn't going anywhere, but heart tricks might — and will — evaporate.) Finally, if declarer ducks the first trick, East should immediately switch to the heart nine. West's lead marks South with the club ace, so returning that suit would be a waste of time.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

A's Parker throws 30 pitches in game MESA, Ariz. (AP) Oakland Athletics pitcher Jarrod Parker threw two

innings of a s i mulated game andfacedhitters for the second time this spring while continuing his comeback from a second Tommy

John surgery. The 26-year-old righthander threw 30 pitches — 15 in each inning — and looked sharp as manager Bob Melvin and pitching coach Curt Young looked on. He faced five batters, getting three fly balls and an infield grounder. Parker missed the 2014 season after undergoing surgery on his right elbow in March. He had the same surgery in 2009 and bounced back to win 25 games from 2012-2013 before getting hurt again last spIlIlg.

Coming back from one major elbow surgery is hard enough. A second would seem t o

A couple questions we had to ask —ourselves

Associated Press/RICK SCijTERI

With his son, Keelan, at his side, no wonder Kevin Harvick keeps getting top-two finishes. How impressive is Kevin Harvick's seven-race streak?

Stewart-Haas' Busch has super day in return to racing

News-Journal file

Richard Petty was the last with at least seven

top-twos ('75). Now that's good company.

How will Kevin Harvick's streak eventually end? GODSPEAK: Something has to go wrong, so I'm going with blown engine, although a bad pit stop could stop the streak. KEN'S CALL: Probably a bad tire and a brush with the wall, but I'm hoping for a brush with Brad Keselowksi. More entertinaing.

Fontana this week ... What's your all-time favorite California track? GODSPEAK: Riverside, because the good old boys would have to match skills against the Dan Gurneys and Mark Donohues of the sport. KEN'S CALL: Ontario, without a doubt. It was huge and fast and hosted every form of auto racing.

Did you see how well that driver of the Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet did Sunday at Phoenix? Not race winner Kevin Harvick, but teammate Kurt Busch, who finished fifth in the No.

win some races. (The) first step was to get our feet back underneath us, then we'll go for those wins."

That's not so easy these days with his teammate showing amazing speed and durability in every start.

41 machine.

Busch missed the first three races of the Sprint Cup Series after being suspended by NASCAR following accusations of domestic abuse by a former girlfriend. Busch was reinstated by NASCAR on March 11 and wasback racing four days later. "It's great to be back and post a top-five finish in our first effort back," Busch said. "It is a testament to the team, Stewart-Haas, Tony Gibson, (my) crew chief. It was a pleasure to drive the car. Lots of emotions, but had to keep those incheck and focus on the race car." Since NASCAR granted Busch a Chase waiver (a driver is supposed to compete in all 26 regular-season races), all he has to do is score one win and the No. 41 Chevy will make theplayoffround. Busch has to be at least 30th

And Harvick's teammate in the No. 41 Sunday?

Petty statistic Harvick said he got a chill bump when he was told he was the first driver since Richard Petty in 1975 to run off seven or more consecutive top-two finishes. Harvick gave his No. 4 team the credit. nl'm just really proud of everybody at Stewart-Haas for everything they do, n he said. "Really proud of (crew chief) Rodney Childers and these guys on this team. I feel like we get better as we go through different situations. Really happy to be a small piece of what's going on. Really proud of everybody at Stewart-Haas and everybody on our No. 4 team."

in points. With just one start,

he's 33rd. "We're not going to think about points," Busch said. "Gene Haas has got me under contract to go win races, and that's what I want to do. "We'll see how the points play out. But right now, we're here to

Come on, you know what it means. Eventually, the gratitude he has for being back in the car will give way to his desire (insistence, actually) to run up front with a shot at winning. That's what makes him a great racer. But it's also what makes him an emotional handful. I doubt that has disappeared.

BRIAN VICKERS

JIMMIE JOHNSON

BRIAN VICKERS VS. JIMMIE JOHNSON: Vickers said Johnson wrecked him on Lap 1. "It seems kind of early to wreck someone," Vickers groused. GODWIN KELLY GIVES HIS TAKE: "Johnson saidhe had damage to his car on Lap 1. No apology. That could come back and haunthim."

What's that mean?

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s streak of top-5 finishes to start 2015 came to end with a pop and a thud when the right rear tire of his No. 88 Chevy blew out on Lap 181. "The car was really, really loose and just wore the right rear tire out, and blew the tire," Earnhardt said. n You can't wear the tire out. You have to get your car handling better. It's going to be hot a lot of races. We just have to get the balance better where we don't burn the tire off of it."

Kurt Busch's fifth-place finish turned some heads and earned the embattled driver some praise, given how he was coming off a three-race suspension. But it's not like he's facing major-league curveballs after a three-week break, so hold back a little on the fanfare. Also, don't get ahead of yourself on thoughts about a "New Kurt" in the cockpit. Regardless of the truth about what happened in his legal case, the whole thing certainly threw him for a loop, but he'll be back.

ONLINE EXTRAS

1. Kevin Harvick

It's maybe more amazing than suspected. When Richard Petty did this, he was head-and-shoulders above most of the competition in terms of equipment, while today's relative parity makes seven consecutive top-two finishes almost impossible to comprehend, much less achieve.

McMurray enjoys first top-five finish of the season at Phoenix Jamie McMurray opened theseason as part of the team that captured the Rolex 24 At Daytona. Unfortunately, that was a sports-car race. McMurray scored his first top-five of the Cup season at Phoenix, taking second. TALK ALITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR RUN AND BEING ABLE TOCOME HOME IN SECOND. n We just had a really good weekend. Every practice, our car was quick. We qualified well. Just had, you know, a mistake-free day and really executed the race perfectly. The No. 4 car is on an amazing roll. If I

could do my restart over again right now, I would have done something a little different. But it is what it is. I'm really happy with second. It would be nice to be in Victory Lane and know you were locked into the Chase the way the points format works." WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY ON THAT RESTART? "Well, I had no idea that Kevin had such a bad restart. The tires that Goodyear brought would build a lot of marbles, similar to what we had in the old days. We

would scrub them back and forth. It was really hard on the last two restarts to get any drive. When you would get to the corner, it didn't want to turn and it was loose. No grip. Sliding around a lot. Honestly, when I went through (turns) 1 and 2 I felt like I totally missed the corner and I was waiting to hear, 'Three-wide, you're in the middle.' I heard, 'Clear.' I wish I would have moved up immediately. (Harvick) had momentum on the outside. I didn't feel like I was clear. (In) hindsight, I would have listened to my n spotter a little bit and just moved up.

WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF IN POSITION RACING WITH KEVINTHERE ON THE RESTART .. .DID YOU BELIEVEYOU HAD A SHOT? "The outside is a big advantage here on the restarts. Lots of momentum you can carry on the outside. He had been really good on the restarts all day long. When we drove into Turn 1, I'm going to go like heck and I hope can I clear him. But the car didn't feel like it had the grip that you needed, and I didn't want to slide up and wipe everybody out. Did I think I had a chance? Yeah."
