' ramBwor ' a or rura a I ornians On Tuesday, April 7, 2015, the State Water Resources Control Board released a proposed &amework for meet ing the statewide 25 percent water conservation target announced by Gov. Jerry Brown on April 1. The state board identified specific reduction standards for wateragenciesacrossCalifornia. Under the proposal, water purveyor members in the 15 counties represented by Mountain Counties Water Resourc-

es Association (MCWRA) were given water-use re-

- - JOhg

ductiontargets of 25 percent or 35 percent without consideration for past , conservationefForts or the significant financial and economic consequences of this action. This homogeneous treatment throughout the state will undermine, not foster, statewide unity as disparate regions of the state work to achievethe 25 percent conservation goal.

MCWRA supports permanent water use efficiency prac-

ticesto reduce water use,butthestate'sgoalshavenotbeen translated yet into proposed regulations that are equitable, protect ouralready stressed localeconomies,our &agile environment, or advance sensible long-term water policies. Under the current proposal, SWRCB has hurriedly developed a one- size-fits-all methodology (gallons per day per capita) for all California water agencies and districts. Gallonsper day per capita (GPCD) is a basis for regulators to make water use comparisons of water agencies throughout the state. While it is data, the data should notbe used to compare water suppliers,orevenhydrologicregions, unless relevant factors are taken into account. If the state

is to use GPCD as a basis to determine how much water is needed to exist, it must take in account population density, population growth, temperature, rainfall, evaporation rates, topography and socio-economic measures, such as lot size and income, land use, and past conservation efForts. MCWRA recognizes the continuing drought severity and the prospect of a fifth consecutive dry year in 2016. Certainly, stringent measures are called for, but moving forward we must acknowledge that one region's water reliability should not besacrificed forthatofotherregions. The water conservation framework, if adopted, will be extremely challenging for both local water agencies and their customers, not only in the mountain region but everywhere in California. Since in the late 1970s, regions around the state have been significantly improving water use efficiency practices. In the course of implementing the latest technologies to reduce water use, the margin for further reductions has contracted significantly. Those districts and agencies that have made the strongest efforts to conserve are being punished for their good stewardship. California spends a millions of dollars working to restore and protect threatened and endangered plants and ~ induding fish, after we have almost completely changed their ability to survive. Now, we stand to sacrifice California residents' ability to thrive by ignoring the requin:ments and distinclions of their habitats, whether they are rural or urban, small town or metropolis,coastalor valley, foothill ormountain. Rather than respond to the current water crisis with a blunt draconian framework, the State Water Resources Control Board should make its best efForts to create the m ost equitable policiesto getthrough thisdrought and position California to be in the best possible condition for the future. John Kingsbury is executive director o f the Mountain Counties Water Resources Association, which represents the interests of foothill water agencies including the Calaveras County Water District, County of Calaveras, Tuolumne Utilities District, and Zeain Harte Community Services District.

YOUR VIEWS Sonora Area Foundation importance well stated To the Editor: I commend Mr. Ed Wyllie on his informative "Guest Opinion" regarding the Sonora Area Foundation. I would like to expand on his comments. While it is true the contributions to the Foundation "make a difference to the less fortunate", there is much more to the grants given by the Foundation. When a non-profit receives a grant

Agencies adding land doesn'tadd up

The Federal Lands subcommittee meets today to review federal land acquisition policies and their impact on communities and the environment. Last month, this subcommittee received testimony &om the government's land management agenciesregarding their 2016 budget requests. All expressed a burning desire to vastly increase their holdings, while admitting to large and growing backlogsof deferred maintenance. Congressman Gohmert (Louie Gohmert, R-Texas) summed up the situation nicely when he compared our land managers with the wealthy old miser whose dilapidated mansion had become the town eyesore while he spent all his time and money plotting to buy more and more property &om his neighbors. Lincoln summed up this proclivity by comparing it to the farmer who said, "I ain't greedy for land — all I want is what's next to mine." That's the issue before us today. Most federal land acquisition is authorized under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965. Funds for this act come largely &om federal OCS (Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas) royalties, but aregenerally appropriated by Congress and thus must be evaluated each year in competition with other pressing priorities. This 50-year old act expires in September, offering the 114th Congress an opportunity to thoroughly examine its mission and impacts and to make adjustments accordingly. About aquarter ofLWCF funding goes to the stateside grant program, which

MAIN OFFICE 209-532-71 51• 209-736-1234 84 S. Washington St. Sonora, CA 95370

seems to have been most successful. This is the program most members cite when extolling benefits from the LWCF. We will hear today from Domenic Bravo, Administrator of the Wyoming Division of State Parks, Historic Sites & Trails, about his state's experience with this portionoftheprogram. Because it requires a match &om the states and is administered through state agencies, it seems that there has been far greater accountability in spending these funds and thus far greater success in developing state parks and recreational areas with the highest public demand. The major controversy seems to arise from sweeping federal land acquisitions and plans outlined by the agencies for as much as a 373-percent increase in spending for this purpose, as the BLM proposes. I have often noted that the Federal government owns just 25 percent of the land area of Washington, D.C., but owns 67 percent of the state of Alaska, 40 percent of the state of California and in the case of one county in my district, 92 percent

of Alpine County. When the Plantagenet kings seized just 30 percent of the land for government use, it was so damaging and so resented that no fewer than five

clauses of the Magna Carta were devoted to redressingthe public'sgrievances. At a prior hearing, I voiced the concerns expressed to me by the Lake Valley Fire District in the Lake Tahoe basin that excessivefederal land acquisitions were steadily sapping the property tax

efficiency of administering these lands. The question, though, is whether this objectiveis better reached by constantly expandingthe federalfootprint,orrather by acquiring land-locked parcels by divestingother parcelsthatare at the periphery of the federal holdings. We will soon hear from County Supervisor Robert Lovingood of San Bernardino County. His district has lost roughly 900,000acresofland to the federalgovernment. The result is a shrinking tax base for his county that undermines its ability to pay for basic public services such law enforcement, roads and public education while suppressing commerce and depressing the economy. This is a common complaint of county supervisors throughout my district, which spans five national forests and two national parks. As we will hear &om Shawn Regan of the Property and Environment Research Center, calls for accelerated federal land acquisitions come at a time when the federal government's inability to manage our current holdings is conspicuously apparent. These agencies have already confessed to a maintenance backlog approaching $20 billion. We have recently lost millions of acres of precious natural foreststofire,pestilence and disease due to a forest management policy that can onlybe described asbenign neglect. Annual fundingfor the Land and Water Conservation Fund comes from the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations bill — it is discretionary funding, not mandatory. It is incumbent upon Congress to set priorities for the management of our public lands and decide whether we should be acquiring vast new holdings in light of desperate need for fire prevention, fire suppression, wildlife management and

James Wood, maintenance supervisor for the Tuolumne Park and Recreation District, said the slabs are quite old and have different grade levels, so hand railings were installed to keep people from tripping on the uneven surfaces. The current project will allow new concrete to be poured, which will create one large, even surface and eliminate the need for handrails. Wood said it will also provide more usable space for vendors at the park's seasonal farmers' market and the annual Tuolumne Lumber Jubilee, as well as more room between the park's trees and the concrete, which should improve drainage.

rni Cities: Water reduction order unfair SACRAMENTO (AP) — California cities are pushing back against Gov. Jerry Brown's order for mandatory water use reductions, but it's not likely that regulators will retreat with the state in its fourth year of drought. The State Water Resources Control Board's proposal to meet Brown's order has some cities slashing water use by more than a third, and it will be updated in the coming days. Dozens of affected agencies say the expected reduction targets are overreaching, unrealistic and unfair.

In an attempt to reward water-conscious communities, the board is suggesting cutbacks tied to water use in September. Critics say that doesn't take into account different climates from the coast

to the desert and longstanding conservation in cities that include Los Angeles and San Diego. The board's proposal "treats agencies with a history of saving water the same as others that are now only beginning to meter water used by their consumers," Jeffrey Kightlinger, general manager of the Metropolitan Water District, which provides water to 19 million people in Southern California, said in one of 200 letters commenting on the proposed regulations. Board officials have downplayed similar complaints in the past, noting the state may have to adapt permanently to drought conditions and must compare wateruse to periodsbefore thedrought emergency. Even so, other cities say the board

Lawsuit seeks to legalize prostitution SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Advocates for California sex workers are seeking to legalize the world's oldest profession. A federal lawsuit filed March 4 seeks to strike down the California law criminalizing

p r o stitution

as an unconstitutional violation of equal protection and free speech rights. The lawsuit alleges that California's criminalizing of prostitution deprives sex workers or their right to participate in a private, consensual activity.

"The rights of adults to engage in consensual, private sexual activity (even for compensation) is a fundamental liberty interest," the lawsuit states. The lawsuit was filed by the San Francisco-based advocacy group Erotic Service Providers Legal, Education and Research Project along with three women who say they want to work legally as prostitutes in California. A disabled man who says he wants to legally pay for sex is also a plaintifK

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Securities and Exchange Commission recently questioned Los Angeles Unified School District officials as part of informal inquiry into whether they properly used bond funds for abeleaguered $1.3 billion project to provide an iPad for every student. Lawyers for the nation's second-largestschool district and an outside firm met at the SEC's Los Angeles office in late March to answer questions about the

use of bonds for the iPad project and whether oKcials had publicly disclosed how the funds would be used. "They asked us to come in and present to them on the bonds themselves," Thomas Zaccaro, a partner with the firm that presented information along with the district, said in an interview

with The Associated Press on Thursday. "All in all, we don't see any issue with the disclosures." Both SEC and LA Unified officials declined to comment. The SEC does not routinely confirm or deny the existence of an investigation. Former LA Unified Superintendent John Deasy launched the initiative to provideaniPadforall ofthe distric t' s 650,000 students, but itfaced trouble from the start. Students found ways to bypass security installations and freely surf the internet. Teachers said they hadn't been properly trained to use the technology. Questions were raised after emails were disclosed showing Deasy had been in communication with vendors Apple and Pearson before the contracts were put to bid.

Coast Guardcutter arrives in USwith 14 tons of cocaine SAN DIEGO — A Coast Guard cutter arrived Thursday in San Diego with more than 14 tons of cocaine, part of what authorities described as a surge of seizures near Central and South America. The cocaine, valued by the Coast Guard at $424 million, was seized by U.S. and Canadianforcesin 19 separate incidents in the eastern Pacific Ocean near Central and South America. It included a 10'/2-ton bust from a coastal freighter, the largest maritime drug interdiction in that area since 2009. The U.S. Navy and Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy ships have seized more than 28 tons of cocaine valued at $848 million in the eastern Pacific region near Central and South America in the last six months, resulting in 101 arrests. That's more than the 12-month period that ended in September, and U.S. authorities called it the most successful run for drug sei-

Man charged for gyrocopter stunt WASHINGTON (AP) — The Florida postal carrier charged Thursday with two federalcrimes for steering his small gyrocopterthrough protected Washington airspace "literally flew under the radar" to the lawn of the Capitol, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said as key lawmakers raisedalarms about security risks. Doug Hughes, 61, was charged with violatingrestricted airspace and operating an unregistered aircrafl, crimes thatcarry penaltiesofup to four years in prison and fines. He was released from custody and allowed to return to Florida on home detention. A federal magistratejudge ordered him not to fly any aircraft and told him to stay away from Washington except for court visits and keep clear of the White

House and Capitol while in town. Hughes' stunt, aimed at drawing attention to the need for campaign finance reform, exposed a seam in the

U.S. government's efforts to protect the White House, Capitol and other vital federal buildings. The stunt caused no injuries and few disruptions as Hughes flew in low and slow, landing between the Capitol and its reflecting pool in broad daylight on Wednesday. But lawmakers demanded explanationsfor how he managed to remain undetected as he flew the lightweight craft all the way to Capitol Hill from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Concerns were only magnified by the confirmation that Hughes was interviewed in 2013 by the U.S. Se-

cret Service, which apparently determined he did not pose a threat, according to Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "I think that there's absolutely a gap, and it's a very dangerous gap, with regard to our airspace," Cummings said. "I don't want people to get a message that they can just land anywhere. Suppose there was a bomb or an explosive device on that air vehicle? That could have been a major catastrophe." House Minority L eader N ancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the incident "stunning," and Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, who chairs the House Committee on Homeland Security, said he would consider holding hearings.

Vatican ends crackdown on U.S. nuns VATICAN CITY (AP)The Vatican has unexpectedly ended its controversial overhaul of the main umbrella group of U.S. nuns, cementing a shift in tone and treatment of the U.S. sisters under the social justiceminded Pope Francis. The Vatican said Thursday it had accepted a final report on its investigation of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious and declared the "implementation

of the mandate has been accomplished" nearly two years ahead of schedule. The umbrella group for women's religious orders had been accused of straying from church teaching. The brief report stated the organization would have to ensure its publications have a "sound doctrinal foundation," and said steps were being taken for "safeguarding the theological integrity" of programs. But no major changes

were announced and the di-

ican reform mandate, which said the nuns' group was in a the sisters considered a threat "grave" doctrinal crisis.

For the past year, community members have helped maintain the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery at 151 W. Lytton St. (top left and right). Hundreds of bulbs were donated by community members and planted at the cemetery. Flowers bloom near a headstone (bottom left).

"My eldest daughter is now an attorney in Pennsylvania, and my youngest daughter has accepted a teachingjob in SouthAmerica," McCoy, a Bakersfield native, said."They were the main reason I was living in this region. I really feel the need now to be closer to other family members in Southern California." The move to Southern California also stems from adesireto be closer to a new romantic partner, said McCoy. "I really love Sonora and the community, but unfortunately the next phase of my life is 300 miles away," he said. McCoy leaves the district in the midst of an ongoinglegal battle over Measure J bond money. Last year local group Citizens Against the School Bond Abuse (CASBA) filed a lawsuit againstthe district in October over the proposed construction of new athletic facilities with Measure J funds. The new swimming pool project, they claim, was not expressly referenced in the measure passed by voters and violated California Proposition 39, a 2012 initiative that says the use of bond money must be clearly explained. Early this month, Tuolumne County Superior Court Judge James A. Boscoe granted a demurrer in the case. CASBA will now have to revise their original complaint, due to a possible lack of legal grounding. McCoy claimed the judge's demurrer was a sign the court is leaning toward the district's position that spending bond money for the pool is legal. The developments influenced McCoy to tender his resignation now, as the case has been delayed since January awaiting Boscoe's decision. "I feel the demurrer was a positive legal action and I was in good standing to make my personal move," he said.

Volunteers are needed May 2 for the second annual community clean-up day at the Odd Fellows Cemetery in downtown Sonora. One of Tuolumne County's oldest cemeteries, located at 151 W. Lytton St.,it is maintained by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Sonora Lodge No. 10, a nonprofit organization that has seen its membership numbers dwindle since a peak in the late 19th century. The cemetery — which features more than 200 graves bearing the names of pioneer families such as Dambacher, Stoddart and Symons, as well as Sonora native and renowned San Francisco attorney Melvin Belli — was previously in a state of disrepair due to repeated acts of vandalism and a lackofmanpower forupkeep. Once boasting a membership of more than 200 over a century ago, the Sonora

Last year, Odd Fellows member Denine Urquhart, who manages the cemetery, launchedthe "Adopt-a-Grave" program and organized the first-ever community clean-up day at the cemetery in early May. The goal was to get members of the community to help clean the cemetery and contribute to the ongoing maintenance needs, which had become too much for the small Odd Fellows Lodge membership to keep up with by itself. Urquhart said the efFort has been successful. cWe have people in the neighborhood who tell us they've never seen (the cemetery) looking nicer," she said. About 90ofthe 254 grave plotshave since been adopted by members of the community or people with ties to the community. Dozens of volunteers also showed up at the cemetery in May to lend a hand during the first annual clean-up day.

Lyons acknowledges the need to address the district's continuing legal responsibilities and financial duties while looking for a candidate. McCoy is determined to stay out of the hiring process. "The gracious thing to do is to recuse yourself from any discussions of a successor," he said."I've built a legacy there, and it's very important who's hired, but the decision needs to

The plan lays out a sort of checklist for future projects intended to improve the aesthetics and traffic flow along Washington Street and Stockton Road, as well as economic programs mainly focused on aiding small businesses. Funded by a $250,000 state grant, the plan was compiled with the help of consultants and multiple rounds of public feedback from local residents. The estimated price tag for all of the projects and programs proposed in the plan is between $10 million and $15 million over the next 10-plus years, most of which is expected to come from state or federal grants.

Williams said she feels some of the concerns expressed by opponents stem from "misinformation" about the plan. She emphasized that the plan is merely " conceptual," meaning t h a t what's currently proposed could change over time. "It was approved by the council, but that doesn't mean that's the way it's going to look or feel in the end," she said, adding that each of the projects will require independent approval by the council at public meetings before allowedtomove forward. Williams said the committees tasked with making recommendations to the council about the plan are looking at potential solutions to the parking concerns, which includes possibly opening some current permit-only spaces to the public. Anyone who still has concerns about the plan is encouraged to attend future public meetings and provide input, she said. "Everyone is encouraged to get involved and be a part of the committees that will be making

Conti nued from Page Al The purpose of the event was to both connect board members and administrators from different districts, while providing an opportunity for them to advocate their legislative needs at a statelevel. "We want to be able to speak with one voice, a strong voice leading to a real voice with our legislators," said Zarrell McDaniel, a delegate serving Tuolumne, Calaverasand Amador counties on the California School Boards Association. She organized Thursday night's conference and currently heads up the efForts of the Rural Counties School Board Association. Key topics included a repealofthereserves cap and technology infrastructure. "Number one on our list is the repeal of the reserves cap," said Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Margie Bulkin. "It's telling us to be fiscally irresponsible." The reserves cap was enacted when a

2014 proposit ion established a state fund to pay down state debts. The fund's creation required districts to limit the amount of money they could set aside for unexpected expenses. Transportation maintenance in rural districts has been made difficult with the low reserves set by the state, according to many present at the meeting.

Tuolumne County Board of Education President Juliana Feriani and California School Boards Association Vice President Sherri Reusche were present as well. Reusche also serves on the Calaveras Unified School District Board ofTrustees. Reusche started the Rural Counties School Board Association six years ago as a way to provide small rural districts with the same advocacyand support as districts statewide receive from the California School Boards Association and the California Board of Education. The Rural Counties School Board Association encompasses Tuolumne, Calaveras, and Amador counties. Meetings were held regularly in the past, but have declined in frequency during recent years, according to McDaniel.

"I used to volunteer in my kids' classrooms when they were in school, our community's unsung heroes, and and I always wished I could do more we are honored that she chooses to to support the other children," said

Schott. "I could have joined a board or volunteered in some other way, but I choseto volunteer as a mentor because I wanted to do something more personal." "In the beginning, when we first met, I was a little shy and unsure," See MENTOR/Page B2

KAIN

EVENTS

Continued from Page Bl scribed as "practical Christianity," where they focus on the teachings of Jesus Christ but not on his cru-

cifiction. They beli eve in one God or presence. However, they believe that every religion is valid and that there is more than one path to God. Kain compared their belief to a bicycle wheel — where God is in the center and Unity members are just one spoke among many others.

"We honor all paths. We honor diversity," Kain said. ''We believe that God is at the center of all religious paths." "Jesus said, 'I'm the light and you're the light,' " Kain said.'There's a spark of the divine in each of us, and that is our purpose in this life, to bring that forward. "It's my purpose on the planet to express it myself and see it and bring it forward in other people," Kain said. The local Unity Spiritual Center has about 50 members and 50 chairs in its small Village Drive building. They've been there about five years and have nearly outgrown

theirspace,Kain said. A children's Sunday school will start this weekend. The center hosts regular classes,lectures and guest speakers on various topics. The center grew out of a prayer group that started meeting 60 years ago at the Tamarron Mobile Home Park in East Sonora, called the "Daily Word Readers." At 6 p.m. each Wednesday for the next three weeks there will be a class called "The Circle." The centeralso offers an ongoing class called "A Course in Miracles" at 10 a.m. on Thursdays. The Unity S p iritual Center isalso a co-host of

the Spirit, Mind and Body Expo this weekend. Kain will be the keynote speaker. She will talk about "awakening." "We are waking up to our purpose on the planet," she said. "We focus on what we want and withdraw our attention from what we don't

want," she explained. "If we want peace, we practice peace." Kain said Unity members are "just a community of peoplethat are searching for higher truth." They don'tbelieve God is a "man in the sky," and that the devil "is a man under the ground." "We only believe in one power, that's God the Good," Kain said. "We believe heaven and hell are a state of mind here on Earth. We create our reality through our thoughts." Unity Spiritual Centers are found in every state in every country, Kain said. They were f o unded around 1900, by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, of Missouri. Myrtle had tuburcolisis and healed herself through prayer, Kain said.

The Unity S p iritual Center meets at 10:30 a.m. Sundays at 19478 Village Drive in Sonora. For more information, go online to www.unitymotherlode.org.

NFL stadium czar meets with Oakland officials OAKLAND (AP)The NFLs Wdium czar has visited Oakland to press Raiders executives and city and county officials for signs of progress in their efforts to keep the team in the East Bay. The Contra Costa Times reports the visit from NFL Executive Vice President Eric Grubman comes as Oakland and Alameda County have begun working in tandem with a private developer to keep the football team from moving south once again. Grubman was not available for comment Wednesday after attending the meeting at Raiders headquarters in Alameda. Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty called the meeting productive but says Grubman still needed convincing that progress was being made. Since the Raiders announced their interest in Carson, the city of Oakland and Alameda County have begun discussions with their development partner to advance Coliseum City, which would be built on the 120-acre Coliseum complex in East Oakland that they jointly own.

Take it f urther back, to 1985, and the Capitals have managed to lose nine series in which they led 2-0 or 3-1. This time around, facing the New York Islanders, Ovechkin and Co. are among three teams heading into Friday hoping to avoid falling behind 2-0 by losing twice at home. The others are Nashville (hosting Chicago) and Vancouver (hosting Calgary). "I don't think anybody's too worried out here or &eaking out," Capitals forward Michael Latta said Thursdayafter a briefoptional skate. Of tonight's four home teams, only Montreal is up 1-0, against Ottawa. "The worst thing we could have done today was be sad," Washington forward Troy B r ouwer said. 'The guys in here are happy. We're in the playoffs. We're enjoying ourselves. But we have to be ready and try and change the momentum of the series." Said center N i cklas Backstrom: The good thing is,it's a seven-game series, so we can bounce back."

With a swarming defense, and senior goalkeeper Isabella Boyack stoppingevery shot that came her way, Sonora was unable to make a dent in the score.

With a 3-0 lead, the Bears focused more on protecting their lead, rather than extending it. It would be the younger members of the Summerville team that would cause the most trouble for the Sonora offense. "Grace Davis is a &eshman, and Libby Rimmer on the other side is a sophomore, so to have a &eshman and sophomore play the way they did is outstanding," Schultz said.

THEUMO NDEMOCRAT

SEEDS Continued from PageCl it wasn't that long ago that Golden State downed Dirk Nowitzki and the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks — another 67-win team — in the opening round of the 2007 playoffs. Now Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans will try to upend the Warriors when their first-round series starts Saturday. Atlanta (60-22), the top seed in the East, begins with Brooklyn. Knocking off a No. 1 seei in the opening round is difficuit, but it's certainly not unprecedented. Here's

CURRY Continued from PageCl to give it a go himself. Of course, he did. And the ensuing 2012 journey left behind two lasting lessons for anyone gearing up to watch the Warriors' playoff run that beginsSaturday with a home game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Lesson 1: Curry can drain a shot from anywhere, including a stranger's balcony in Penninglnn, N.J. Lesson 2: No matter how big the league's MVP candidate gets, he's still the type of guy you want over for pizza and game night. "I actually beat him in Ping-Pong," JefF Lorenz, 17, says now. "So I have that over him." In fairness, it was Curry who laid down the initial challenge. An early adopter of using social media to connect with fans, he staged a contest asking his followers to send him a clipof their most creative backyard trick shot. The winner would get a nifty prize: Curry would record their outgoing voicemail message. That's why when you call Lorenz now you hear the point guard's voice instead: "K, This is Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors. If you're trying to reach Jeff he's not here — probably because we're in the gym shooting

hoops. Please leave a message." When the high school senior calls back, you get the rest of the story: After winning the contest, Jeff's friend Ben Schragger figured out that the W arriors would soon beon aroad trip to Philadelphia, with a day ofF before the game. So they sent an email through Curry's social media team inviting the point guaid to come try it himself. "I remember thinking, Wow, this kid has a lot of guts,' " recalled Bill Voth, the co-founder of Spiracle Media. "I told him it was very, very unlikely. But when I ran it by Steph, he really didn't even hesitate." Curry isn't one to run from a shot. Tuesday, shortly after hitting 77 consecutive three-pointers after practice — and 94out of100 overall— he explained why he would go so far out of his way to pal around with freshmen from Hopewell Valley High School. "Just a way to make the world smaller," Curry shrugged."Obviously, basketball touches a lot of difFerent

year. At the time of their first meeting,Curry was a promising youngster best known for his March Madness exploits while at tiny Davidson (N.C.) College. Now, he's among the famous faces in NBA, with jersey sales that trail only LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers. This year Curry broke his own league record with 286 thre~ pointers while averaging 23.8 points

Jersey that I can connect with. To be able to involve the fans and make it personal — that's what it's all about." At the time of his visit, in March 2012, Curry was struggling with the ankle injuries that sidelined him for all but 23 games that season. 'Tm like, well, I've got nothing to do on

that ofF-day. So let's go," he recalled. So he went. And then he stayed. With his social media team on hand to document the trip, they made the 45-minute drive east from Philadelphia to Pennington (pop. 2,600). It took Curry all of nine tries to knock down the shot, burying the 35-footer ofF the 30-foot high balcony and then raising both hands in triumph. He hadn't come all that way to miss. This was the kind of thing he used to do in his own backyard, inventing games to play against his father, former NBA Sixth Man of the Year winner Dell Curry, and his younger brother, Seth, who currently plays in the NBA Development League.

and there were nearly 30 on hand.

Curry saw the overflow turnout and was excited, rather than irritated. Voth, his handler that day, considered whisking Curry out of there after a while but never sensed his chent wanted to go. "He's kind of like the anti-NBA player. It wasn't like he was going to go out clubbing or hitting the town," Voth said. 'The only thing he had to do that night was to go back to the hotel and FaceTime with his wife." All along, Lynn Lorenz watched in wonder. "I couldn't believe it when (Curry) actually showed up," she said. "On every court we'd find some "He is the most unbelievably nice, weird angle, some crazy shot thathad down-to-earth guy. We're all such nothing to do with traditional basket- huge Steph Curry fans now. I never ball. But when you're a kid and you liked basketball.

He's got all the commercials. It's just crazy. Curry this week said he stays in touch with the kids because he likes that the two ringleaders, JefF and Ben, are into charity work. JefF does tutoring for the youth organization

for Urban Promise while Ben is the CEO of the national charity Cards2Kids, which donates sports cards to kids in need. "They're awesome. They're downto-earth kids," Curry said.

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 call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.com

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about May 7, 2015 the City of Sonora will submit a request to the California Department of Housing& Community Development (HCD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant funds under Title 1 of the Housing & Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as the Stewart Street Multi-Family Housing Project, located at 489 S. Stewart Street (APN¹ 002-192-08) for the purpose of reconstruction of an affordable seven (7) unit multi-family building at the site of a previous multi-family structure that was destroyed by fire, to benefit seven low-moderate income households. The estimated funding for the project is $694,500. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

The City of Sonora has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the City of Sonora, Community Development Department, 94 N. Washington Street, Sonora, CA and may be examined or copied weekdays B ~a.m. to 4 .m. PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to the City of Sonora, Community Development Department, 94 N. Washington Street, Sonora, CA 95370. All comments received by May 6, 2015 will be considered by the City of Sonora prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Commentors should specify which part of this Notice they are addressing. ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION The City of Sonora certifies to HCD that Timothy A. Miller in his capacity as City Administrator consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The State's approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the City of Sonora to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

HCD will accept objections to its release of funds and the RE's certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Sonora; (b) the City of Sonora has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HCD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HCD at Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Section, 2020 W. El Camino Avenue, Suite 500, Sacramento, CA 95833. Potential objectors should contact HCD to verify the actual last day of the objection peI'Iod.

They broke up, and Lena moved out.

My son is now 30 and has never married. Unfortunately, his current girl&iend is demanding that we sever all ties with Lena, and she is causing problems for us with our son.

We only hope he doesn't marry this girl. She sounds like a major headache. DEAR ANNIE: My husband is a girl watcher. I find it very hurtful that I can't keep his attention. He is constantly looking around, and when he zeroes in on some young blonde

with a great 6gure, he repeatedly stares at her. I have con&onted him a few times about this habit, and he denies that he is doing it. Am I being irrationally jealous?Do Ineed tojustgetoverit? Everything else at home seems fine. — WANT HIM TO LOOK ONLY AT ME DEAR WANT: Your husband's b ehavior is boorish, but n ot threatening. Most guys look. The problem is, he is so blatant about it that it becomes disrespectful to you. If he truly does not realize he is doing this, you need to call his attention to it. B ehavior m odification c a n work. Smile and say ealmly,"j: see you're checking out the blonde at that table. She is pretty. But you are a bit obvious when you keep staring." He may deny it, but because he knows you can tell, he should be more willing to admit

that his technique needs work. It is important not to become angry or annoyed. Your goalis to get him to notiee his own behavior enough to control it. We don't believe he means to hurt you. As long as he isa't approaching these women and attempting to get a date, please try to be tolerant until he matures. DEAR ANNIE: This is for "Stuck in the Midwest," who wants to convince her husband to move to a warmer climate. She should get on Google Maps and show him the street view of all the places in her "new city."TRIED IT Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy

Fish not necessary in vegan diet for health DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been veganfor15 years.Iavoid sugar,limit salt and have no caffeine. Recently, a pharmacist told me that I will not get properprotein unless Iadd fish to my diet.

Today in history Today is Friday, April 17, the 107th day of 2015. There are 258 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On April 17, 1975, Cambodia's five-year war ended as the capital Phnom Penh fell to the Khmer Rouge, which instituted brutal, radical policies that claimed an estimated 1.7 million lives until the regime was overthrown in 1979. On this date: in 1937, Daffy Duck made his debut in the Warner Bros. animated cartoon "Porky's Duck Hunt," directed by Tex Avery. in 1961, some 1,500 CIA-trained Cuban exiles launched the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in an attempt to topple Fidel Castro, whose forces crushed the incursion by the third day. in 1964, Geraldine "Jerrie" Mock became the first woman to complete a solo airplane trip around the world as she returned to Columbus, Ohio, after 29 1/2 days in her Cessna 180. Ford Motor Co. Unveiled the Mustang at the New York World's Fair. The first game was played at New York's Shea Stadium; the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Mets, 4-3. In 1970, Apollo 13 astronauts James A. Loveii, Fred W. Haise and Jack Swigert splashed down safely in the Pacific, four days after a ruptured oxygen tank crippled their spacecraft while en route to the moon. in 1993, a federal jury in Los Angeles convicted tvvo former police officers of violating the civil rights of beaten motorist Rodney King; two other officers were acquitted. Turkish President Turgut Ozal died at age 66.

Cats talk through meows, blinks and roving whiskers

Refile of previous file

LOS ANGELES (AP) — When it comes to cats, those meows mean ... well, a lot of things. With each purr, yowl or even blink, felines are saying, "Hello," "Let's snuggle" or "Beat it, Mom." For the increasing number of pet owners who want to connect with their often-aloof fur babies, experts say there's something to gain from those attempts at communication. Cats are very independent, and so they are easily misunderstood, says Dr. Gary Weitzman, presidentand CEO ofthe San Diego Humane Society and SPCA and author of the newNational Geographic book "How to Speak Cat." He aims to unravel the mystery by helping people discern what cats are trying to convey. Crafty kitties can make 16 di8erent meow sounds and usually only unleash them when people are around, he said. Meows can be their way of saying feed me, pet me or let me out, and hardly ever get exchanged between cats. That's because cats learn they can get something desirable from people if they meow, said Dr. Bonnie Beaver, executive director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists and a professor at Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine. She also wrote the 2003 textbook"Feline Behavior." The meaning of a scratch or a hiss is pretty clear, but cats can talk in more subtle wayswith their eyes and tails. A slow blink I'rom a feline, for example, is like a wink between friends, Weitzman said. "Blinking is like a kitty kiss," he said. And extending their tails straight up equates to a human handshake, he said. A cat perks up that appendage as it approaches to show it's happy to see you.

Susan McMinn, 55, of Tryon, North Carolina, was eager to try the slow-blinking exercise with her Siamese cat, Jade, after reading the book. "I sat and blinked slowly at my cat, and she blinked right back. I know she loves me, of course, but now I feel I understand her communication even more," McMinn said. M cMinn hasowned Jade for 10 years and has had six cats over her lifetime, but she says it's clear she still has a lot to learn."And I thought I was an expert!" she said.

A kitty is happy, calm or friendly when its whiskers are naturally out to the side. Twice as thick as a human hair and rooted three times as deep, the whiskers guide them, help them with prey and show how they are feeling. Learning to communicate with cats becomes even important for those who adopt a pet based only on the color or breed they want versus a connection with the animal.

At Happy Cats Sanctuary in Medford, New York, a potential owner might ask for a "white cat with flufFy fur," said Melissa Cox, director of communications and development. She tells them not to go by looks alone because the true indicator of compatibility is spending time with a cat and getting to know it. For McMinn, she says she isn't done with the book and plans to use some of its training tips. But now she knows "what to look for in her (cat's) tail and ear movement, whisker positions and in her eyes."
