Scholars have long thought that 90 percent, more or less,

of California's vast yellow wealth remains hidden deep beneath the earth's surface, still waiting to be discovered.

Accordingly, they tell us that Tuolumne County has three large, gold-bearing quartz veins instead of two.

The third, known as the "Blind Belt," or the "Lost Lode of the Sierra," is situated high on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, somewhere within a 160-squaremile wilderness bordered on one side by what we know today as Highway 108 and on the other by Yosemite National Park.

Since its chemical makeup is more complex and richer in grade than that of the Mother Lode (which has earned

Amtrak train derails; several hurt

OBITUARIES Obituary policy

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An Amtrak train headed to New York City derailed in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, mangling the front of it and injuring several people, some of whom climbed out of windows to get away.

Train 188, a Northeast Regional, had left Washington, D.C., earlier Tuesday.

The front of the train was going into a turn when it shook.

An Associated Press manager, Paul Cheung, was on the train and said he was watching Netflix when "the train started to decelerate, like someone had slammed the brake."

"Then suddenly you could see everything starting to shake," he said. "You couldsee people' s stuffflying overme."

Cheung said another passenger urged him to escape from the back of his car, which he did. He said he saw pas-

So from our first school site near the Sullivan Creek bridge on the current bypass, to the 1915 site which actually had two school buildings on its site, to the top of our campus which had to 1915 -1958 school, to our fiRh and currentbuilding we have grown, changed, and built a school community worth celebrating.

On Saturday, May 16, our campus will be like a 'County Fair Day.' We expect it to be so busy we will have shuttle service from Sierra Bible Church parking lot. We will have vendors with pizza, kettle corn, and snow cones.

We will have a dunk tank and a petting zoo. And we will have events that students have worked on all through the year as well as historical events. We will have archery and robotics displays.

We will have art and garden activities.

We will have all the support community who come to our school each year to offerservices to our students: the Sheriff's Department, Cal Fire, Sonora 49er Rotary, Smilekeepers, Family Fit, and more. Kids can enter an egg toss, race in sacks, contra dance to live music, and former students and faculty can reminisceabout their favorite times at Curtis Creek or Sullivan Creek School.

This time of celebration is the heart of our community. We are so proud of all we do here and would like you to join us on this special day.

choices and lower prices.

But here's the problem: unfair trade regulations, labor standards, high taxes and foreign subsidies often put American workersata realdisadvantage.

To remove these barriers, we have to negotiate trade agreements to put Americans back in the game under fair and equal rules.

We haven't done that recently because the legal authority to effectively negotiate these agreements expired years ago, and we' re seeing the result. Since 2000, there have been 48 trade agreements among Asian nations, and Americans were part of only two of them. China is writing the rules while we' re le behind.

That's why Trade Promotion Authority is so important.

It's the key to restarting America's trade engine.

Here's how it works. Congress sets 150 objectives that our negoti atorshave to advance — fairrulesthatboth sides have to follow — everything &om food safety and labor standardstorulesfortrading on the Internet.

If these objectives aren't met, the deal's oK End of discussion.

If they are met, then the agreement's published in full for 60 days so the American people can weigh in, and only then will Congress vote to approve itorrejectit.

This process gives our negotiating partners the confidence that the concessions that they make won't be endlessly altered once the agreement gets to Congress. Ital either be voted up or voted down. That assures our negotiators will bring back to Congress the very best o6er &om our trading partners without their holding anything back.

We' ve negotiated trade agreements this way generally since the 1930's, and very much like this since the 1970's.

But now, in some quarters it's become controversial.

Our celebration, Saturday, May 16, from 9:45 to 2,will feature science, games, art, dance, and visitors. Motivated by the possibility of winning a grant &om the California Teachers Association, our minds started to formulate possibilities. The grant was very specific — "Don't focus on your deficits, focus on your strengths."

So, with the consent of the staff, four teachers — Holly Azevedo, Cathie Salvo, Merv Cancio,and I spent several days looking at all the strengths we had at Curtis Creek School. We had a strong staff who kept high expectations, a unique science program in which our students attended science class daily, a new 40' mural and a fantastic year with the Rim Fire Reflections student art 2014 calendar.

The list was endless: GATE, K-8 PE program,Leadership for all grade levels,garden, sports programs, electives, K-4, marching band 5-8, strong parent association, and more. So we did exactly what the grant asked of us.

We took our student strengths and built on them. We created a plan to incorporateallwe do,develop those ideas further to expand those strengths, and createa true celebration forour Sesquicentennial. We titled our grant "Building Community With Community." We dedicateda portion ofthe $20,000 fund-

have six 8'x 4'panelseach depicting 25 years of history. The history on the panels spans 1865-2015. Each panel has a unique painting of Curtis Creek School.

Additionally there are 12-14 more paintings on each panel which highlight local history, California history, and world events. After many morphs and changes,the students at our school selected which events should be represented.

Led by muralist Tracy Knopf, about 80 students participated in creating the mural and it is truly an amazing piece of artwork that will inspire generations to come. It will be mounted on the cafeteria's outside wall facing the small lawn.

But what else could mark our history?

We currently own the school site of our 1915 school building. What better way to provide place based learning than to do an archaeological dig on your own school site?Under the direction oflocalarchaeologist, Shelly Davis-King, another 50 students worked at the site using metal detectors,shovels,and sifting apparatus to discover. We didn't know what we would discover, but were blessed to find remnants of the old school and evidence that students had been there.

There wereartifactsthatproved, yes indeed, we did find the old school site.

Additionally, we did a survey of the Indian grinding rocks on our campus.

YOUR VIEWS

a very long time, especially if you re not a tiny bit progressive, our future and this country depend on you. Turn off Fox News and listen to reason — unless you have tons of money.

In that case you are excused and can continue to drink corporate KoolAid. Think about it: The only flavor is sour grapes. All this is not to say there is nota few decent corporations. Starbucks coffee as an example that comes to mind. Afier 70 years someone is running for president I can get excited about: Bernie Sanders.

ble a hand puppet that mimics the party line that Obamacare is a "nightmare" and must go, although an unbiased review of facts shows the Act, although not perfect, is working to provide dependableand aff ordable healthcare for millions.

an economy, as this nation has learned repeatedly, going back asfarasJefferson'stim e.

Some on the right oppose it because they don't trust the president and his history of executive overreach.

Well, I don't trust him either. That's why I support this bill. Without it, he can negotiate anything he wants.

Trade Promotion Authority binds him to the will of Congress before the agreement is reached. If — and only if — he meets Congress' objectives, will Congress then agree — not necessarily to pass the agreement — but only to vote on it after the American people have had their say.

I'm particularly concerned about illegal immigration.

This bill forbids the president from making any changes to our laws, including our immigration laws.

I don't know about you, but I am tired of years of economic stagnation, of watching our country marginalized, and of an administration that often operates in direct defiance of Congress and the American people.

This bill is a giant step to solving these problems.

The free exchange of goods — whether between people or nations — means that both sides go away with something of greater value to themselves — or the trade wouldn't take place.

Freedom creates prosperity,and the greater the&eedom, the greater the prosperity. Trade Promotion Authority is the means by which this freedom is advanced — for ourselves and for our children.

Freedom works. And it's time that we put it back to work.

Corporate greed To the Editor: Replacing Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with a woman (finally a good idea),Isuggestwe take it one step further. We should consider replacing Ben Franklin's picture on the $100 bill with that of the Koch brothers. Think about it: It is the perfect two-fer, you know, buy one get one free.

There would also be other changes in the graphics on the bill, such as "E Pluribus Unum" would be replaced with "El Grande Uranium." On the back side, instead of some national monument, there would be a gas station. "In God We Trust" would be replaced with "In Fracking and Pollution We Trust" since our Supreme Court has already ruled that corporationsare people.

They probably would rule the new issue "Koch Dollars" can only be used to buy elections and for promoting Koch. Remember when you vote we owe our very existence to them. At least that is what they want us to believe. In Corporate America's honor we should remove the Statue of Liberty's torch and replace it with a hand, middle finger extended.

The motto would read, "No hope for the poor here."

You may think this is silly, however, think about it. Admittedly, it could take

doubledigitsyearly,versus as low as 1 percent for some plans currently. He believes the federal government has "socialized" healthcare, though the market with its private insurance companies and hospitals are still operating just fine. They do have to adhere to basic consumer protections that didn't exist before the law. Anyone anxious to see "pre-existing conditions" restrictions return? If he and others of both parties were truly representative of their con-

To the Editor: The recent reprint in the U.D. of Rep. Tom McClintock's recent speech in Congress unsurprisingly shows us how he believesthe adage, "Never let facts get in the way of a good story."

He was supporting the recent House Budget Conference Agreement that purports to cut the federal budget deficit in 10 years, among other things.

While noble in its intent, the devil is in the details. The biggest swipe McClintock takes is the wording to pass legislation that would eliminate the ACA (Obamacare). For the umpteenth time, McClintock and the GOP resem-

stituents and had the best of intentions for their health care, wouldn't it make sense to work together to strengthen and improve the Act rather than play to groups that have their own agenda?

McClintock supports undercutting benefits that improve the lives of the lower and middle class, while increasing spending for the Pentagon and leaving taxbreaks in place for corporations and the wealthy. Could that be because Wall Street and the wealthy have the ear of Congress? Na, that's ridiculous.

ed in "high hazard" areas of the city, New said.

State guidelines call for approximately 100 feet of "defensible space" on a property, which means cutting and reducing trees, shrubs and other potential flammable vegetation around a home or structure.

New told the council that 90 percent of the 200 properties inspected in 2014 were in compliance with the rules.

Thisyear'sgoalistoinspect 350 properties and achieve a 95 percentcompliance rate, she said.

The department sent letterstotargeted property owners in March to notify them about the inspections.

Inspectors will take a look at each property and note anything that still needs to be completedto meet state guidelines. They leave a message for the property owner listing any corrections that

"We know there's a lot of people who have busy schedules," New said. "We' re trying to work with them and educate them on getting their defensible space completed as soon as possible."

Last Monday's initial 48 inspections found about half of the homes were already in compliance, which New considered"verypromising."

Though property owners who don't follow the state' s defensible-space guidelines are subject to fines, New said the city's inspectors are not issuing penalties at this time.

"Itisan educational process at this point," she wrote in an email Monday,"and we have been extremely fortunate to have gained compliance with

The county was considered eligible under previous standards for ozone pollution implemented in 1997.

In April, th e E nvironmental Protection Agency replacedthe old standards

Sonora firefighters are next scheduled to inspect select properties within the city limits this Thursday and Friday, according to Fire Chief Aimee New.

Unlawful outdoor burning penalties The Sonora Fire Department sent out a news release Monday reminding city residents about new penalties on unlawful outdoor burning that take effect early next month.

Last week, the Sonora City Council passed an ordinance authorizing city police and fire personnel to issue penalties beginning June 4 for anyone caught burning outdoors without a city-approved burn permit or breaking California Fire Code regulations on outdoor burning within city limits.

All burn permits approved by the city are subject to Cal Fire regulations on hours and days of burning. When burning is suspended by Cal Fire, all city-issued burn permits will be suspended as well.

The penalty for the first violation is a $100 fine, second violation within 90 days of the first is a $250 fine, and third violation within six months is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000 or up to a year in jail.

Cooking food is allowed in a fireplace or barbecue pit that meets California Fire Code requirements.

According to state regulations, bonfires must be at least 50 feet away from any structure or combustible material, recreational fires must be at least 25 feet away and portable fireplaces must be at least 15 feet away.

BOARD Continued from Page Al The bill was earlier supported by the county board, the Calaveras County Water District board and others as a way to get the facts on the controversial designation.

But county supervisors took a step back on that support Tuesday when asked to partially fund the study, due mostly to amendments on the bill, they said.

The board had been asked to give $6,000 to the Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Agency, which pledged $100,000 to help the bill pass. The UMRWA represents six water agencies in Amador, Calaveras and Alpine counties.

The main amendment at issue gave a deadline of Dec. 31, 2016,to complete the study, whereas there previously had been no timeline.

While some said the lack of a timeline showed the bill was just a stall tactic, the new timeline ruined the bill for some.

Vicky Reinke, president of the Calaveras County Republican Party, said her group has changed stances from support to opposition because of amendments like the timeline.

The original bill guaranteed a thorough study be-

fore thevote to designate the river, whenever that may be. But now it starts the study next year, whether anyone is actively pushing for designation or not, she said.

Dennis Mills, a CCWD director, said he would have supported the bill as is if it wasn't for a recent endorsement by the East Bay Municipal U t i lities D i strict, which looks to gain more water from an unhindered Mokelumne River.

The board voted down the funding, with the exception of District 5 Supervisor Chris Wright, who abstained. Wright is a proponent of the Wild and Scenic designation.

The Calaveras County Water District today will vote on whether or not to pledge up to $9,600 to the local fund for AB 142.

Also on T u esday, the board: • Voted t o pr o v i de $237,000 in grant money for mobile-home rehabilitation. The county previously offered loans, funded with federal grant dollars,but the loans w ere e xpensive

and cumbersome to manage, according to the county.

• Voted to declarethe county too small to comply with a new law amendment requiring some businesses to recycle organic waste.

Anyone old enough to have grandchildren r e members when it was possible to earn enough money from summer and part-timejobs to cover college tuition.

Now, unless your grandchildren create the next Snapchat, that's probably not going to be an option for them.

The most effective way to help your grandkids is to invest ina 529 college-savings plan. Sponsored by 48 states and the District of Columbia, 529 plans provide a tax-efficientway for grandparents to help with college costs.

Earnings on investments grow tax-free, and withdrawalsaren'ttaxed aslong as the money is used for qualified expenses, including tuition, fees and room and board. If you withdrawmoney for nonqualified expenses, you' ll owe income taxes and a 10-percent penalty on the earnings.

In addition t o t a x-free growth on your investment, you could get a tax break on your contributions.

Thirty-three states and the District of Columbia offer deductions or other tax ben-

niesfor contributions to a 529 plan.

For example, New York residents can deduct up to $5,000 in contributions to their state's 529 plan from theirstate income taxeseach year (up to $10,000 for marriedcouples).Most states require you to invest in-state to claim the deduction, but six states — A r i zona, Kansas,

Maine, Missouri, Montana and Pennsylvania — will give you a tax deduction for investing in any state's 529 plan.

Unlike other e ducation savings vehicles, 529 plans have high contribution limits: Most plans allow you to invest $300,000 or more per beneficiary. And you can contribute to the plans no matter how high your income. But you' re limited to the investments offered by the plan, and you can only change investments once a year.

Money held in a grandparent's 529 plan isn't counted as an asset on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is used to determine a student's eligibility for financial aid. However, when you take withdrawals to pay for your grandchild's college expenses, those distributions are treated as the child's income on the following year's FAFSA, reducing financial aid on a dollar-fordollar basis.

To get around this problem, you could wait to withdraw money from the 529 plan until your grandchild is a college junior and has filed the FAFSA for the last time.

Or consider switching ownership to the child's parents.

Grossman said.

"It gave a lot of women a lot of strength to get together and learn how to do business better and know there were other women out there doing business."

Grossman said it doesn' t seem like a big deal now, to have an all-women business network, but it was a big deal 25 years ago.

The concept of business n etworking groups is t h e norm of doing business now, Grossman said.

"You get in your own business and you don't get out of the building usually. It's a way tomeet new peopleand find out about other businesses," Grossman said. "You have a chance to network and reallyfeed off each others' businesses."

Members of business networks get to know each other, and when someone they know needsa particular service,the idea is that they will recommend another member business, Hembree explained.

"If you get to know, like, and

trust

so m eone, i t ' s

much easier to recommend that person," Hembree said.

"I have a hard time recommending someone if I haven't done business with them."

The network also provides a way to hold member businesses accountable for their customer service.

" If I ' m recommending someone to them, they know they need to take special care of them," Hembree said.

"And the know, like, and trust goes both ways."

Grossman said it's hard to believe the network has been around for 25 years already.

"It's amazing. I think it says a lot for women in business in Tuolumne County," Grossman said."I think business is constantly changing and evolving, and it's good to network any way you can."

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 Ouniondemocrat.corn

CHOMPING IN FLORIDA DEAR CHOMPING: It is customary forpeople to eat popcorn and other snacks during a movie. But it is also incumbent on those in attendancenot tobean annoyance to the peoplearound them. Crunchy stuff should be chewed quietly. No one needs toswish ice around in the cup. Your best bet would have been to find an usher and ask for help locating another seat, but these days, ushers are hard to come by.You also could have complained to the manager after the movie, which wouldnot have changed the annoyance, but may have garnered you a comped ticket.

some medications can cause it, as can

alcohol, as you mention. Some genetic conditions, like hereditary spherocytosis, can do it. Even low thyroid levels sometimes can cause large red blood cells and a high MCV. People with high turnover of red blood cells, such as those with a mechanical heart valve,have excessnum-

bers of immature red blood cells, called reticulocytes. These fool the machine into reporting a high MCV. Yourdoctoralreadymighthavedone

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. an evaluation to check whether there are any problems that might have led to your high MCV. If not, he or she can do so, orcan ask a hematologistto see you. Sometimes a look at the blood smear can answer the question.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I would like to know your opinion about whether it is OK to crush up diQ'erent psychiatric medications and put them in a small container of water to drink. This doesn't seem very safe to me, but I'd like an expert opinion.— Anon.

ANSWER I' ll give you my answer, and also tell you where to find an expert opinion. My answer is that many people have trouble swallowing pills, and that most pills can be crushed and taken with water or mixed in with food.

Your local pharmacy sells pill crushers, or youcan geta mortarand pestle.

While you are at the pharmacy, ask your pharmacist. He or she can look at your medications and tell you whether it is safe for you to crush your particular medications. Slow-release medications, of which there are many, should not be crushed. Often, the bottle will tell you, but ask your pharmacist for the expert opinion.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I a m a 48-year-oldwoman in pretty good health. I was a smoker for 30-plus yearsand quitaboutthreeyearsago.I don't have any signs of COPD or other lung ailments yet, but I fear they are just around the corner. My question is, Is there anything I can do now to postpone or prevent the onset of these diseases, or atleast decrease their severity? — V.M. ANSWER: Not all smokers will develop COPD. Some smokers are more susceptible than others to the effects of the many toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke. Conversely, some nonsmokers can develop COPD, especially those

Today is Wednesday, May 13, the 133rd day of 2015. There are 232 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On May 13, 1940, in his first speech as British prime minister, Winston Churchill told Parliament, "I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."

On this date: In 1918, the first U.S. airmail stamps, featuring a picture of a Curtiss JN-4 biplane, were issued to the public. (On a few of the stamps, the biplane was inadvertently printed upside-down, making the "Inverted Jenny" collector's items.)

In 1935, T.E. Lawrence was critically injured in a motorcycle accident in Dorset, England; he died six days later.

In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Act. The musical play "The Pajama Game" opened on Broadway.

In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon and his wife, Pat, were spat upon and their limousine battered by rocks thrown by anti-U.S. demonstrators in Caracas, Venezuela.

In 1973, in tennis' first so-called "Battle of the Sexes," Bobby Riggs defeated Margaret Court 6-2, 6-1 in Ramona, California.

(Billie Jean King soundly defeated Riggs at the Houston Astrodome in Septem-

Many factors can lead to large red blood cells DEAR DR. ROACH:In a recent article, you spoke of small red blood cells.

I have large ones. My MCV is 102, with no anemia. What causes this besides alcohol, and is it something to be concerned about? I do not abuse alcohol.

Thank you.— C.P. ANSWER: MCV, the mean corpuscularvolume, is a measurement of the size of red blood cells (the units are femtoliters, a very small unit). An MCV of 102 is slightly large, and can be seen in many conditions. Vitamin B-12 and foli c acid deficiencies are the ones we usually first look for, but

She said shelikestoeatpopcorn atthe movies. Afterward, my husband told me I was rude and that eating during a movie should be allowed.

Quitting smoking is by far the most important action you can take to reduceyour risk ofdeveloping lung disease, but there may be others. Avoid other airborne pollutants, especially other smokers, but also dusts and fumes.

Some preli minary evidence suggests that statin drugs might slow down COPD, but there are conflicting studies, and I don't recommend them just for COPD. Regular exercise may help, and it certainly helps your heart and many other systems.

SRI!N The race is onfor the winners

By PHILLIP ALDER

North 4 J102

V KQ3 I KJ 7

4 K643 Damon Runyon, a newspaperman and East author who died in 1946, said, "It may be that t he race is not always to the swift, nor the 4 83 4 AQ9 7 6 4 battle to the strong — but that is the way to V A 98 6 V10 5 bet."

0 85 8 0 96 2 N o-trump contracts are races. Both sides y J 87 5 410 9 are trying to establish tricks, and the first South to succeed usually wins — but only if once 4 K5 those winners can be cashed, the player V J?42 holding them is either on lead or can take a I AQ>04 timely trick.

4AQ2 How is that relevant to this deal? South is in three no-trump, and West leads the spade Dealer: East eight. How should the play go?

Vulnerable: Neither South starts with eight top tricks: one South West N orth E a st spade (given the lead), four diamonds and 24 three clubs. Maybe clubs will break 3-3, but Dbl. Pa s s 34 Pass that is unlikely. If the clubs are not 3-3, South S NT P a s s P a s s P a ss will have to knock out the heart ace. But then maybe East will run his spade suit.

Opening lead:4 8 What should happen at trick one?

East needs to realize that if West has led a singleton, the defenders have no chance.

Also, if West holds two spades, declarer has only one spade stopper. And there is an important principle: If declarer has one trick in the suit you are trying to establish, make him take it as quickly as possible — trick one is not too early.

Here, East should play an encouraging spade nine at trick one. South will win, try the clubs, and either cash out for down one or turn to hearts and lose one heart, one club and five spades for down three.

Note that if East wins the first trick, declarer romps home with an overtrick or two.

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.

Money-smart kids: Allowances that make sense

By JANET BODNAR

FamilyFinance

Kipli nger Personal Finance

The practice of giving kids an allowance seems to have caught on in a big way. In the 2015 Parents, Kids & Money survey from T. Rowe Price, 70percentofparentsreported giving an allowance to their children ages 8 to 14. Among kids who receive an allowance, 85 percent are required to earn it, versus 15 percent who get it with no strings attached.

I have mixed feelings about those

earning money of their own. But kids should help out around the house without expecting anything in return because they' re part of the family.

It's also been my experience that parents have a tough time keeping track of whether their children have actually done their assigned jobs. As a result, the kids often end up getting their money even if they don' t results. I'm convinced' that an allow- do the chores. ance is one of the best hands-on teach- So what's a parent to do? ing tools for children who aren't yet My solution is a two-tier allow-

HOMES

In Denver, a limited roster of homes has fueled the rising prices and given sellers the upper hand.

Forty percent of homes that sold in February went for more than the asking price, according to online real estate broker Redfin. That's up from 21 percent a yearearlier.In addition, half of the homes on the market went under contract in eight days or fewer.

"Typically, January, February even March are not quite as highly competitive as when you go into the spring months," said Ilona Botton, a Redfin agent in Denver.

"That's not how it was this year. It has been multiple offer situations every single month."

Continued from Page Bl keep renting a two-bedroom, onebath house for $1,300 a month, hoping tohave more money and fi nd a better selection of homes once they jump back into the market.

"It'svery discouraging," said Arnold. "Hopefully next year we will be able to buy, but there's a chance we m ay have torentagain."

Home prices nationwide have

risen at more than double the pace of average hourly wages, making it harder for buyers to find the extra funds to save for a down payment.

ance system.Kids geta base allowance that isn't tied to basic household chores, such as doing the dishes and making their beds, which they' re expected to do without pay. But it does come with what I call financial chores — spending (and saving) responsibilities that the kids take over from you. For example, young children may be required to pay for their own collectibles or refreshments at the movies. As they get older, they can take responsibility for more expenses, such as after-school outings with friends, concert tickets and even clothing purchases. To make the connection between work

and pay (and to earn extra money), children can take on extra jobs, such as taking out the trash or recycling.

The Kids & Money survey also shows that the amount children receive for allowance is rising. Comparedwith 2013,fewer kids are getting$10 a week or less (50 percent versus 68 percent), and the number of kids getting $51 or more per week jumped from 2 percent to 9 percent.

My guideline is to start with a weekly base allowance equal to half a child's age, and then increase it as necessary depending on where you live, how old your child is and what he or she is expected to pay for. A

14-year-old could need more than $7 per week, especially when paying for entertainment and school-related expenses. But for the life of me, I can't figure out why any kid in this age group should get $51 per week.

The limited supply of homes is

year," said Holtmann,33.'There were three or four we liked and would have been morethan happy to gowith."

One factor preventing more houses from hitting the market is that many homeowners still owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth.

While millions of homes have returned to positive equity as values come back, some 5.4 million, or 10.8 percent of all homes with a mortgage, remained underwater as of the October-December quarter, according to CoreLogic. Nevada topped the list. Nearly a quarter of its homes with a mortgage were underwater.

showed it would take fewer than five months to sell all the previously occupied homes in the U.S. In a market more balanced between buyers and sellers, it would take about six, according to the National Association of Realtors. What's more, heavy demand for low-priced homes means theirprices are rising faster.H omes priced at $135,000 or less jumped 9 percent for the year ending in Feb-

eral weeks to move out following a sale, said Redfin's Botton.

In general, areas with fewer homes for sale have stronger job growth that eclipses the pace of construction. Areas with larger inventories tend to keep the availability of housing in line with job growth.

In Columbus, Ohio, aviation company executive Ryan Holtmann had plenty of options. He and his wife ruary,according to data from Core- started shopping for their first home Logic.

"Everyone is pretty healthy right now," said Summerville head coach Brad Schultz. 'Vile played Friday night and then had two days of rest. We had some good days of practice and are ready for Amador. I think the girls are feeling pretty good right now.

Our second game against them we beat them 2-1, so we know we can beat them. There are some nerves, but the girls think they can do it."

The Sac-Joaquin Section Division V Championships are in full force and Summerville, Sonora, and Calaveras are all in the running for a title.

Warriors, Hawks return homefor pivotal Game5's OAKLAND (AP) —The Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks spent all season earning homecourt advantage in the playoffs, quickly lost it in the second round, and then regained it.

Whether they' ve rediscovered their regular-season form is another matter.

The NBA's top seeds are headed back home for pivotal Game 5s in their knotted up series.

The Hawks host the banged-up Washington Wizards, and the Warriors welcome the gritty Memphis Grizzlies in Oakland on Wednesday night.

"The only thing we' ve done is get home court back, which is great. But there's no guarantees of anything," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after arriving in the Bay Area on Tuesday. "You havetocompete.Yougot to play.

W e haveto come with the same mindset, the same approach."

After going down 2-1 and having their dream seasons on the brink of turning into nightmares, the Warriors and Hawks turned in series-saving performances on the road. Both clamped down on defense and got back to the ball-movement based systems that made them regular-season juggernauts.

Golden State shot 475 percent from the floor and 42.4 percent (14 for 33) from 3-point range. The Warriors had made just 123s in the previous two games combined.

"It was a little different look than I think they had ever seen," Warriors forward Andre Iguodala said. "So they' re going to adjust to it, and that' s why I say,rWe've just got to keep getting better, keep watching film and getting ready to bring

BRIEFS Skujins takes lead in Tour of California SAN JOSE (AP) — Latvian Tom Skujins pedaled to a surprising mountain stage win by more than a minute and took the lead Tuesday in the Tour of California.

The 23-year-old began stage 3 in 95th position and trailedprevious race leader Mark Cavendish of Britain by 42 semnds. He completed the hilly 105.7mile road stage in 4 hours, 33 minutes and 10 seconds.

Peter S agan (TinkoffSaxo) of Slovakia finished second for the third straight day and finished 1 minute and 6 seconds behind Skujins. Julian Alaphilippe (Etixx-Quick Step) of France was third in the same time.

Skujins rides for the American Kncapie Sportswear team. He holds a 32-second race lead over Sagan with five stages of the eight-day eventremainiilg.

Rob Britton (SmartStop) of Canada is third overall, 43 seconds behind. Twentyfive riders remain within a

minute of the lead.

Skujins was among a seven-rider breakaway, his third attempt of the day, that rode to nearly a fiveminute ~ at t h e base of Mt. Hamilton (elevation, 4,216 feet), the first substantial climb of the race.

Skujins then bolted to the &ont and quickly built his advantage over a few weary chas era to more than a minute and several minutes ahead of the main field. Skujins rode alone for the last 1 1/2 hours, which included a long, winding descent. The sharp down turns forced Skujins to stop once and stumbled briefiy

LeBron scores 38, Cavs down Bulls CLEVELAND (AP)With the Big 3" reduced to the Banged-Up 2," LeBron James again showed why he's Cleveland's one and only.

James scored 38 points, Kyrie Irving added 25 and the Cavaliers held off Chicago's charge in the fourthquarter for a 106101 victory over the Bulls on Tuesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their testy Eastern Conference semi-

final.

Showing no ill effects &om a sprained left ankle, James added 12 rebounds, six assists, three steals, three blocks and didn' t have aturnover in 41m inutes to ensure the Cavs will again play at home this season. The four-time league MVP was locked in from the start, impos-

ing his will on a game the Cavaliers had to have.

Cleveland can wrap up the best-of -seven series and advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2009 with a win in Game 6 on Thursday night back at United Center in Chicago, where the teams exchanged buzzer-beating victories last weekend.

Jimmy Butler scored 29 and Mike Dunleavy 19 for Chicago. Derrick Rose scored 16, 12 in the first quarter, but the star guard shot just 2 of 15 in the final three quarters and aggravated a shoulder "stinger" he sustained in Game 1.

The Bulls were missing big man Pau Gasol, who sat out his second straight game with a strained left hamstring an d d i d n' t sound confident before Game 5thathe' d beready
