CLARIFICATION A news article on Page AT of Tuesday's Union Democrat reported members of the Lake Don Pedro Community Services District board of directors voted 3-1 to adopt amendments to current 50 percent mandatory water conservation requirements that include allowing outdoor watering for ornamental landscaping two days a week. Board member Emery Ross opposed the amended measure, describing the verbal amendments as "confusing." Later in the meeting, Ross and three other board members voted 4-0 to adopt another measure allowing outdoor watering two days per week.

This weekend could be one of the busiest of the year in the Mother Lode, and the same is true at

Rangers in Yosemite National Park are advising people they expect an "extremely busy" Memorial Day weekend. "It'sbeen a very busy year so far,and the park expects high visitation, especially from 1Yiday afternoon until Sunday," Yosemite spokesman Scott Gediman said Thursday. 'Visitors are strongly urged to avoid arriving at the park during the peak hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. "Arriving early in the day or late in the afternoon are the best ways to enjoy the park," Gediman said. "Once in the park, visitors are urged to park their vehicles and enjoy the park utilizing the free shuttle-bus service, bike paths and hiking trails."

As of Thursday evening, Highway 120 east of Crane Flat and Tioga Pass were closed due to snow accumulation, according to Yosemite and Caltrans officials. Whether the road re-opens between today and Monday will determine if most people visiting the park this weekend will be restricted to Yosemite Valley destinations. All other park roads were open as of Thursday SeeYOSEMFIX / Back Page

OUR VIEW

ari osa eri 's acion oo ex reme Mariposa County Sheriff Doug Binnewies took an unusual and extreme step last week when he proclaimed that he would suspend the authority of U.S. Forest Service agents who work in the Stanislaus National Forest to enforce state laws within the boundaries of his

county. The issue: Forest Service law enforcement officers were allegedly harassing gold prospectors while enforcing federal mining laws. Many readers may wonder, as we did: Can Binnewies do this? Yes,according to legal scholars,it's true.To some degree. Federal law enforcement officers, like those working in the Stanislaus, are there to enforce violations of federal laws — like logging, mining or hunting regs, or laws protecting archaeological orenvironmental resources.

They can also enforce federal traffic, drug and similar laws. Any effort to prevent them from enforcing federal laws would be illegal, a violation of Article 6 of the Constitution, which guarantees federal laws' supremacy, say experts like University of Pennsylvania professor and constitutional law expert Kermit Roosevelt III (the great-great-grandson of Theodore). Under agreements with local law enforcement agencies, the feds can act as local police when patrolling our federallands — enforcing state laws on these vast tracts.

Binnewies says the suspension is temporary, in effect until he's satisfied the federal officers have appropriate training. Meanwhile, two Forest Service investigators still have powers toenforce the state laws. "This is a step in the process at looking at these allegations," Binnewies told a reporter. "The total focus is to ensure that Mariposa County residents and Stanislaus National Forest visitors receive the best possible professional and polite law enforcement service."

It's nice the sheriff stepped in on the miners' behalf, but, given most major crimes like rape or murder, and even minor ones like drunk driving, have a federal equivalent to state law, it was largely symbolic. It's arguable his actions were driven by the current political climate more than anything. Many rural sheriffs in the West are under pressure to assert local authority by logging, mining and cattle interests, and adherents of conservative "constitutionalist," "county supremacy"-type movements. They argue the feds have overreached in acquiring and restricting the use of federal lands. A high-profile example of this worldview involved a standoffbetween Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, whose tussle with U.S. Bureau of Land Management officers attempting to collect $1 million-plus in unpaid fees for cattlehe'd grazed on federal lands ended in an armed standoff from which the feds backed down. The whole debate is grounded in interpretations of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. The 10th says: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively,or to the people." Most scholars agree it was written in 1791 to assuage fears in the 13 colonies that the framers could inadvertently create a Frankengovernment. The 10th is read by those challenging federal land managers as meaning anything outside the original federal mandates delineated by the constitution — like managing budgets, printing and borrowing money, establishing apostal service, managing interstate commerce, creating armies and establishing a navy, etc. should be left to states and, by extension, counties. The fiip side of the argument notes the word "expressly" (as in "the powers not expressly delegated" ) was intentionally left out by the framers so the new federal government wouldn't be entirely neutered. The lawsuits and case law around this state-federal conflict are best left to another editorial. The federal law enforcement officials in Binnewies' corner of the Stanislaus continue to enforce the federal laws. Tuolumne County Sheriff Jim Mele says he too is working with Forest Service to ensure officers are trained to state police standards. However, he has not suspended the officers' state enforcement rights in the interim. This is a more moderate and logicalapproach. It's less likely to create ill feelings with an agency that patrols an enormous geographic area, it ensures any appropriate state laws can be enforced, and it doesn't play to any particular ideology or constituency. -

GUEST COLUMN

Elites say we need to think like liberals What happens when the public does not wish to live out the utopian dreams of its elite leaders? Usually, the answer forthoseleadersisto seek more coercion and less liberty to force people to think progressively. Here at home, President Barack Obama came into power in 2009 with a Democratic Congress, a sympathetic press, and allies in Hollywood, academia, unions, and philanthropic and activist foundations. Yet all that support was not sufficient to ensure"correct"publicattitudes about Obama's agenda on health care, entitlements, taxes, guns, abortion and cultural issues.

In the 2010 midterm elections, the Democrats forfeited their majority in the House. In the 2014 midterms, they lost their Senate majority and also lost ground in state legislatures and with governorships across the country. Since early 2013, President Obama's approval rating has been consistently below 50 percent. How, then, do politically correct planners force the people to think and act properly when they push back? Extra-legal executive orders can help a presidentbypass supposed troglodytes in Congress and among the public. Obama granted blanket amnesties, proposed rules that would lead to the closure of many coal plants, and arbitrarily chose which health or labor statutes should be enforced and at what times. A filmmaker was even jailed on a trumped-up probation charge after making a video about Islam that was deemed unhelpful to the official administration Benghazinarrative. The IRS hounded nonprofit groups considered insufficiently progressive. In a recentrant about conservative Fox News — which has a fraction of the combined audience of the liberal mainstream networks ABC, CBS and NBCObama warned that the media are going to have change the very way they report news. Presumably, Obama believes that Fox tricks the unknowing masses into

cally important areas and allowed logging in others.

whether they agree that a nonprofit organization had no right to be critical of her in a documentary at election time. If Clinton is really worried about the role of big money in politics, she would have done better to have insisted that the Clinton Foundation did not solicit donations from foreign governments while she was the secretary of state. She might have ensured that her family'sfoundation distributed 90 percent of itsexpenditures — instead of a reported

10 percent — directly to the charities it claimed to help, especially given that it has raised close to $2 billion. Clinton might also have blasted former presidents seeking hefty lecture fees and family foundation donations &om wealthy entrepreneurs who hope to buy access and influence from either a sittingsecretary ofstate,a former president of the United States — or a future president. Or, Clinton herself might have cut back on lucrative speaking fees, often paid by wealthy corporations seeking influence. Bill and Hillary Clinton have pulled in $30 million in lecture cash in just the last 16 months. Mysteriously, the closer Hillary Clinton got to announcing her bid for the presidency, the more frequent and the more lucrative the Clinton duo's lecturing became. When news organizations, judges or Americans in general do not think or speak in the correct fashion, then elite

progressives believe they must do whatever isnecessary to silence themwhile making themselves exempt from their own agendas. Victor Davis Hanaon is a syndicated newspaper columnist, military historian

came the basis for the Rim Fire Salvage decision. Hanvelt's story line is part of the right wing anti-everything agenda that generallyturns most people off. Those of us who actually understand the complexitiesof natural resource management have found the capacity to try and work out our differences. Maybe someday Hanvelt will learn those skills himself. Craig Thomas Sierra Forest Legacy

Another take onRimFire To the Editor: In spite of Randy Hanvelt's uninformed diatribe in the press, actually no litigation I know of has not stopped any fire salvage in CA in the past decade.

thinking wrong thoughts, especially about the relationship between the poor and government assistance. As Obama put it: "We' re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we' re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, and how people's impressions of what it's like to struggle in this economy looks like." Given the First Amendment, how can the president "change" the media? Should the Federal Communications Commission pick and choose acceptable news outlets in the same manner that Lois Lerner ran her exempt-organizations division at the IRS? Who would judge whether the media had changed to meet Obama's notion of correctness? Hillary Clinton is worried that too many people have incorrect thoughts about feminist issues. For those who oppose abortion, Clinton believes that these supposedly wrong thoughts must be policed. "Deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases," she warned, "have to be changed." How, in a free society, does Clinton plan to alter the way religion and culture work? What sort of power would she need to rid usofthese"deep-seated"but unhelpful "codes and beliefs" ? Recently, Clinton declared that if elected president, she would pick Supreme Court nominees by the litmus test of demanding that they oppose the Citizens United ruling. Clinton is apparently still furious at the high court's 2010 decision, which dismantled federal election rules restricting independent political expenditures by nonprofit organizations. Citizens United, remember, was a conservative nonprofit group that produced an unfiattering movie about Hillary Clinton. The Federal Election Commis-

Investi ation into rison riot continues Union Democrat stag

A unit for low-risk prisoners at Sierra Conservation Center near Copperopolis remained under close watch Thursday as prison and statecorrections officials continued

to investigate the cause of a riot Tuesday night that left several inmates injured. The riot in Facility A — described as a large dorm holding inmates with fewer than five years left on their sentences — involved an estimated150 prisoners. Seven were taken to area hospitals, including two seriously injured inmates who were flown by helicopter to emergency rooms. Prison spokesman Lt. Robert Kelsey said both men are stable and one has returned

to SCC. It's unclear what prompted the melee, Kelsey said.

It started about 8:20 p.m. and was not fully contained until 3 a.m. Wednesday. The weapons used were primarily brooms, grabbedoffthe yards,K elsey said. Kelsey said about 50 inmates identified as being involved were in "administrative segregation" Thursday. Other inmates in Facility A are operating under a "modified program," limiting inmate movement. This means they are being taken to groom, eat, etc. in small groups. Facility A is a so-called "Level 1" unit. It houses inmates who are considered lowrisk enough to move to prison "fire camps." These camps, 20 operated out of SCC, train inmates firefighting skills and put them to work on wildfires, where they cut fire lines and do other work. "Our goal is to get the inmates back to normal program as safely as possible, " Kelsey said.

Federal appeals court delays transgender inmate's surgery SACRAMENTO (AP) — A federalappeals courtdelayed sexreassignment surgery for a transgender prison inmate on Thursday, hours after a state panel recommended that she be paroled. The separate decisions make it less likely that convicted killer Michelle-Lael Norsworthy will receive the prison-funded surgery before she is released. Norsworthy, 51, has lived as a woman since the 1990s

and was scheduled for the procedure on July 1 after a lower court judge ordered the statetoprovide itassoon as possible. The state, however, contested the ruling and the appellatecourt delayed the surgery while it considers

Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her greatest joy. She was doting, supportive, loving and an ever present part of their lives. Whether she was on the floor playing with blocks, clapping for their achievements from the stands or dishing at the kitchen table talking jazz lyrics and fancy nail polish, she was all in! She passed on her musical talents, beautiful voice and passion for theater to her grandchildren. She inspired and supported all of their artistic pursuits. Her sense of style was charming and fun. She loved to shop and give gifts. She never forgot a birthday and her very personal messages will be missed. Her love of animals was evidence of her respect for allof God's creatures. She tried to make a diflerence and she succeeded. She was always building people up with her encouraging words, funny stories and dazzling smile.

Trade bill narrowly passes Senate W ASHINGTON (AP) — In a t r i umph for PresidentBarack Obama, sweeping legislation to strengthen the administration's hand in global trade talks advanced toward Senate passage Thursday after a showdown vote that remained in doubt until the final moment. The 62-38 vote, two more than the 60 needed, came &om a solid phalanx of Republicans and more than a dozen Democrats. But the decisive thumbs-up came — literally, and long past the allot-

The Senate action to move toward a final vote was "a big step forward," Obama said at the White House, predicting that a trade deal would "open up access to markets that too often are closed." The president was up late Wednesday night placing telephone calls to lawmakers, and he spoke with Cantwell again shortly before the

Final Senate passage would clear the way for a fierce struggle in the House. The legislation would allow Obama to make trade deals that Congress could either support or reject but not change. Previous presidents have had similar authority, and administration officials argue that Japan and other Pacificregion countries in a current round of 12-nation trade talks will be unwilling to present bottom-line o6ers if they

But the real political divide is over the value of international trade agreements themselves, and the result has been a blurring of traditional political lines. Supporters say such agreements benefit the American economy by lowering barriers overseas and expanding markets for U.S. services and goods. But in rebuttal that became particularlypronounced two decades ago when President Bill Clinton sought

ervice o s a sni ou seizures im rove i s' ives LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Alyssa Howes was 4, she lost her sight and startedhaving seizures — up to 20 a day. For years, her grandmother stayed in the girl's room at night, watching for an attack. That ended three years ago when Alyssa got a rare gift for a young child: a service dog named Flint. When the golden retriever moved in, life changed for Alyssa's Los Angelesareafamily.Hegivesthe ll-year-old a more normal life by alerting her family to seizures, guiding her so she doesn' t fall and allowing her to have a bit more freedom. "It gives her a companion to enjoy the moments when she is doing things she likes to do," said her mother, Juliette Palomaki. "And if she is having a bad day, she will call him and they will justbe together." But not enough dogs are being trained for children with epilepsy, autism and other disabilities, said Karen Shirk, founder of 4 Paws for Ability, a nonpro6t that breeds and trains servicedogs.Other agencies train dogs speci6cally to help people with seizures, but Ohio-based 4 Paws is one of just a few that does not exclude young children. M ost require a minor to be 16 so they can handle the dog alone in public. Because a younger child cannot do that, 4 Paws trains at least two adult caregivers, such as parents, teachers

and baby-sitters. Service dogs allow children to feel comfortable at the park, school and restaurants. In Alyssa's case, it means

no one has to stand guard at night in case of seizures. "Once we got Flint, she said she wanted to start sleeping on her own with him," Palomaki said. Animal behaviorist Brandon McMillan, the star of "Lucky Dog" on CBS, says it's very easy for a child with disabilities to become a recluse. "Life shouldn't be so complicated at 5," said McMillan, a spokesman for Magnolia Paws for Compassion, which raisesawareness thatkidscan getservice dogs. "Take a child who has a condition.

up a world for this child. It's important for a child's life." Seizure dogs are costly — taking 4 Paws $22,000 to breed and train, with eachfamily asked to raise $15,000but they can alert their companions to seizuresbeforetheystrike. Scientists say pooches smell a chemical change when a person is about to seize — they just don't agree how dogs do it, Shirk said. At her training center, dogslearn to bark to signala seizure so an adult can give the child medicine. For Shirk, who has a service dog, Piper, to help her with her muscular dystrophy, getting that warning allows her to take medicine that keeps her breathing. "Messages don't get through from the brain to the muscles," Shirk said of a seizure. Without Piper, I barely have time to call 911 before everything shuts down." In Alyssa's case, if Flint detects a seizure, he will lick her, become very attentive, lie on her and bark, the girl' s mother said. "When we hear him bark, we know something is up because he doesn' t bark for any other reason," Palomaki satd.

Alyssa also has leukemia that's in remission and lacks full use of her right hand. Doctors won't give a prognosis because they "don't want to put expectations or limitations on her," Palomaki said. "She walks, talks and can read the whole Braille alphabet with one good hand. She's a true joy, and they are a dynamic duo," Palomaki said.

human consumption.

PG&E acquired its current pre1914 water rights on the South Fork Stanislaus River from the Sierra and San FranciscoPower Co., whose holdings also included the Tuolumne County ditch system, Phoenix Lake powerhouse and an early version of Lyons Reservoir built by the Tuolumne Hydraulic Mining Co. The earlier, smaller version of Lyons came with pre-1914 rights that allowed up to839 acre-feet to be diverted from the river and stored in the original reservoir. Tom Scesa, general manager of TUD, saidhe contacted PG&E by telephone just days aRer the state issued the curtailment order on April 23 — which applied to all "junior" water rights holders in the San Joaquin River watershedand asked the company to exercise itsrightstotheadditional 839 acrefeet of storage in Lyons. "We had asked PG&E about storing pre-1914 water in Lyons as soon asthe post-1914 rights came out," he said. Scesa followed up on May 12 with an email asking if PG&E had determined whether it could legally supply the water. A PG&E official confirmed to Scesa on Monday that it had received approval fiom the State Water Resources Control Board. Although the additional water will only fill Lyons to 5,415 acrefeet— orabout 98 percent ofcapacity — Scesa called the extra storage "very helpful." The district leans heavily on Lyons during the summer due to regulations that limit PG&E's ability to divert water out ofPinecrest. Part of the terms on PG&E's license to operate Strawberry Dam requires that Pinecrest's lake level remain at orabove 5,608 feetabove sea level through Labor Day to enhance recreational opportunities at the reservoir, such as swinuning, boating and fishing. Due to the regulations, TUD is essentially left to coast on the water stored in the much smaller Lyons Reservoir when snowmelt stops flowing into Pinecrest — or when water stops spilling over the lip of the dam.

That's because PG&E's rights to storewater in Lyons areconsidered "junior" to any of those acquired prior to 1914, when the state's current water-rights permitting system was established. However, the company's rights to store water in Pinecrest date back to the Gold Rush-era. The modern-day Lyons Dam was erected in the 1920s. A few years prior to construction, PG&E acquiredthe rights to store up to about5,500 acre-feet ofStanislaus River water in the reservoir for hydroelectric-power generation and

Farmers and other landowners who staked the earliest claims to California's water are last to suffer cutbacks at times of drought under the state' s water-rights system. Now the dry spell hasbecome so severe thateven some of these 4,000 "senior water rights holders" could be ordered to stop pumping from rivers and streams. A brief primer: Who are they' ? More than half are corporations, suchaspower companies thatuse water for hydroelectric dams. Rural irrigation districts in Modesto and the Sierra Foothills have claims, and water departments in San Francisco and Los Angeles are among the biggest users. A Carmel retirement community has these rights, as does StarTrekactor and ranch owner William Shatner. How did they get water rights? Establishing an early right to California water was as simple as going ahead and diverting it. Paperwork came later. San Francisco got the Sierra Nevada water that turned its sand dunes into lush gardens by tacking a handwritten notice to a tree in 1902. The state started requiring applications and monitoring consumption after 1914, but exempted previous claims. Who watches them? The State Water Resources Control

However, Lyons Reservoir at full capacity can only serve TUD customers through about 65 days of normal use. Brandi Ehlers, spokeswoman for PG&E, said that Pinecrest was still spilling as of Thursday, though officials couldn't give a firm estimate on how much longer it will continue.

"It's hard to say, especially with the weather we' ve been having and the late rain storms in the past couple of days," she said. "We don't anticipate it to continue spilling much longer due to the lack of snowpack, but we don't have a timeframe either." Statewide water-use restrictions mandated this year in response to the persi stent drought also require TUD to cutback usage by at least

Board oversees the water rights systemand decideswhen conditions are too dry to meet demand. Every three years, it requires senior water rights holders to report how much water they have diverted, used and conserved. Since regulators lack widespread remote sensors or meters, they depend largely on the honor system to guard against illegal uses. So how much do they use? It amounts to trillions of gallons a year, but no one knows exactly how much. An Associated Press investigation last year found the data riddled with obvious errors. State water officials concede they need better real-time monitoring of flows and diversions. As it is, they generally enforce cutback orders when someone complains. Why do theyhave special status'? Much of the parched American W est was developed around the principle that water goes to those who claimed the limited resource first. Unused water may be sold or transferred. But California is unusual among western states, in that it doesn't monitor senior rights holders as closely as it does junior rights holders. Source: The Associated Press

Scesa said the district is "committed to following the process" by keeping Pinecrest's lake level "as high as possible." The districtis seeking a permanent exemption that would allow PG&E to divert water from Pinecrest for use by TUD customers during dry years, but the state has yet to make a final decision. However,

breaker on the third floor, where ATCAA's main office is housed. Because the floor's power couldn' t be isolated,fi re officials evacuated and shut off power to the entire building. "Itwasn't safe to leave power to the building with damage to the breakers. They weren't tripping and stopping power and ... eventually would've caught fire," said New. The breaker had been repeatedly overstressed by having too many appliances plugged in in the staff break room, according to Don Hamari, the building maintenance supervisor, who said he met with an electrician after the incident.

The damaged breaker and those surrounding it were replaced, and a city building inspector signed off on the fix Thursday morning, he said. ATCAA opened late Thursday and will be back to usual business hourstoday.The nonprofitprovides housing, food and childcare services to the needy. The temporary fix to the problem was a sign that said "Please don' t run all appliances at once." But Hamari said an electrician is scheduled to update some of the stressed wiring. The building, a former hospital, datesback to 1906. It was Sierra Hospital until the 1940s, when it was remodeled into the Columbia Way Hospital. It was remodeled into business space in 1958, according to Chuck Holland in his book, "Sonora Yesterday and Today."

District customers used 18 percent less water in April than the same month in 2013, according to TUD's latest estimates. If TUD is facing a shortfall this summer, Scesa said the district will ask fora special exemption from the State Water Resources Control Board tobypass the lake-level requirement and divert extra water from Pinecrest.

MURAL Conti nued from Page Al earned those classes a hand-engraved tile by Stearns. Stearns will mount the tiles on a separate campus mosaic sometime in the future. The entire student body was invited to help with the mural, but 11 eighth-graders enrolled in an elective to work closely with Stearns throughout the process. "They are called the I ' t eam," said Stearns. The 'M" team built the landscape and flowers pictured on the mural out of tile glass and mirrors, while Stearns cut the designs for the prospector, mule and sluice box on what she calls her "big screaming tile saw." Stearns said she is primarily a watercolor ist,but has created four other murals at Jamestown School. The school board approved Stearns' original design for the mural based onan early watercolor ofthe scene.

Columbia Elementary held an assembly in the gymnasium Thursday morning to commemorate the finished mural. The entire school, administra-

tors, community donors and Stearns attended the event, which included a ribbon-cutting ceremony and video documenting the mural's creation. During the assembly, Columbia Union Elementary School Board President Laura Phelan announced the board'sdecision to dedicate the mural to Superintendent John Pendley in honor of his 16 years with the district. Pendley will retire at the end of this year. A plaque thanking Pendley has been mounted next to the mural. The school held a contest to name the new mural, with the winner announced at Thursday's assembly. Seventh-grader Kristina Thompson won for her title "The Spirit Of Columbia." She was invited on stage to cut aceremonial ribbon before joining administrators and Stearns outside to cutthe off icialribbon hung in front of the mural. "The mural is a big gift to the community in terms of public art," said Tuolumne County Arts Alliance Executive Director Connie O' Connor, who also attended Thursday's assembly. The mural can be seen on the outside wall of the school gym.

Sonora High School students (from left) Lucas Pallante, Bailey Henington, Makena Klatt and Sarah Cormier, worked together to promote random acts of kindness project as part of their senior projects.

Senior project uses kindness to help stamp out bullying By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

A senior project at Sonora High School has taken on bullying by promoting and celebrating random acts of kindness. "Sonora Strong" is the project name fora random actsofkindness campaign organized by Sonora High School seniors Makena Klatt, 18, of Sonora, Lucas Pallante, 18, of Sonora, Bailey Henington, 18, of Sonora, and Sarah Cormier, 17, of Sonora. The projectcame about during a discussion between Henington, the school's library/media tech Colleen Drennan and U.S. Army recruiter Sgt. 1st Class Dustin Denney, of Copperopolis. They were talking about the "major" bullying problem at Sonora High, Drennan said. "Itstarted with a conversation on how we can eradicate it. We decided we would promote kindness," Drennan said. "We just wanted to recognize people for being kind," Henington

said. Each student involved in the projecthad a different area of responsibility: Henington went to Columbia Elementary School and talked to fifth-graders about bullying; Klatt did community outreach; Pallante was in charge of fundraising;and Cormier was in charge of on-campus activities, procurement of items and documentation of the events.

"It is a program that rewards

kids for doing nice things to their peers or to the community. We have been rewarding RAK-recipient kids with different monetary donations from local business as well as a 'Pillar of Character' cupcake,"Klatt said. Teachers and staff let Drennan know if they see students doing something kind, and a total of 18 students were "RAKed." "Once they were 'RAKed,' we would make it a big deal for them and make them feel special for doing something kind," Klatt said. In December, the students put on a series of activities for Kindness Week. The first was a series of team-building games to build kindness in Sonora. The second was a car smash, to smash out bullying. The car that was smashed by students was donated by a local towing company, and students paid $1 each to use a sledgehammer on it to help with fundraising. The last activity was an "ambulance stuff." Health careers instructor Jackie Potts secured the use of an ambulance that 61 students were stuffed into all at once.

"To stuff kindness into Sonora,n Klatt said. Students who got "RAKed" each month were also given balloons and, at the end of the campaign, the kind students got "Pillars of Character" cupcakes. "Because it's sweet to be kind," Drennan said. The seniors who organized the campaign think it made a positive difference. "I definitely feel like we accomplished something," Henington said. "I think people understand words do hurt." "I think a lot of people were surprised (to be recognized), and were like, 'Wow, someone saw me (do something nice),' " Klatt said. The students hope another group of students will take on the project for next year. They raised $1,600, which will go toward next year's Random Acts of Kindness campaign, Klatt said. The campaign also included kind messages written on Post-it notes on walls in the library, and each student's RAK actions were displayed in the library, as well. The project even made headlines in the U.S. Army Sixth Recruit-

The Army donated $850 toward the projectand donated a large rolling duffel bag and Army reusable waterbottles forprizes. The students called the campaign, "Random Acts of Kindness," and other students would get "RAKed" for doing nice things, Klatt said.

The Department of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced the remains of U.S. Service members have been identified and will be returned to his family for burial with full military honors. Service members include: • Army Master Sgt. James W. Holt, Sgt. Maj. Kenneth Hanna, Master Sgt. Charles W. Lindewald, and Sgt. 1st Class James L. Moreland, all &om the Vietnam War. • Army Master Sgt.

the opposing pitcher would attack her, and her knowledge of pitching made her a better hitter. "I am a prettyaggressive hitter," Hukkanen said.'Pitcherstrytogetahead soItendto go after the first pitch. I try to get on any way I can whether it is by a hit, a walk, or a bunt." Hukkanen led the Redskins to a 15-3 MLL record, finishing only one game behind firstplace Linden. Calaveras had seven underclassmen on its roster and Hukkanen knows what it is like to be a freshman on a varsity team. Going into the season, she knew that she had to be a leader and a good example to her younger teammates. 'Tve been at the varsity level allfouryearsofhigh school,so I knew that I was going to be viewed as a leader this year," Hukkanen said. "I had to be mentally prepared for that. It' s a big deal to have your teammates look up to you and have them trust that you are going

to give everything you can to help the team succeed." Hukkanen's l e ad-by-example attitude and unselfish style was not only noticed by her teammates, but also by her coach. "You always see the hard work she puts in," Koepp said. "It was just a matter of giving her some rest. She made strides every year and she did what was best for the team, and what we needed her to do. We were successful because she didthat to the bestofher ability and did her best at it." Hukkanen's soRball career is far horn over. She will attend CSU Monterey Bay in the fall, and will be a member of the Otters softball team. Being named MLL Most Outstanding Player was the perfect cherry on the sundae that was her Calaveras career. "I feelgreat about that award," Hukkanen said. sMy

BRIEFS Warriors' asst Gentry interviews with NO OAKLAND (AP) — Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr has acknowledged that top assistant Alvin Gentry interviewed for the vacant New

Orleans Pelicans'job. Kerr's comments came beforetheWarr iorshosted the Houston Rockets in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals Thursday night. He says Gentry met with Pelicans officials earlier this week and he encourages all of his assistant coaches to "embrace any opportuni ty that comes their way."

Kerr hired Gentry as his associate head coach and offensive coordinator when the Warriors hired him last May. Gentry was previously the head coach for Phoenix, where Kerr had been the general manager.Gentry also had been a head coach with the Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit and Miami.

Manfred says NYhas geunds to snubA-Rod NEW YORK (AP) Baseball C ommissioner R ob Manfred said h e thinks the New York Yankees have grounds not to pay Alex Rodriguez a $6 million marketing bonus for tying Willie Mays for fourth place on the career home run list. When Rodriguez signed a $275 million, 10-year contract with the Yankees in December 2007, the sides also agreed to a separate deal that called for $6 million each for up to five milestone a ccomplishments, payable within 15 days of designation by the team. The accomplishments were contemplatedto be Rodriguez hitting home runs 660, 714, 755, 762 and 763. In exchange for each designation, he would give the Yankees marketing rights, such as using his name and image in selling licensed goods. After Rodriguez hit No. 660 on May 1, New York refused to make the payment. The Yankees said making the payment was their right and not an obligation. The Yankees have a well-founded legal position," Manfred said Thursday.

Contador extends Giro d'Italia lead VICENZA, Italy (AP)Alberto Contador extended his overall lead ahead of Fabio Aru to 17 seconds while Philippe Gilbert won the rainy 12th stage of the Giro d'Italia on Thursday. It all came down to a brief climb in the final kilometer. Gilbert, the 2012 world champion, attacked and surged ahead of a couple breakaway riders to cross the line alone. The Belgian rider with BMC docked nearly 4 1/2 hours over the 190-kilometer (118-mile) leg from Imola to Vicenza, which featured a hilly finish. Contador crossed sec-

"He's the best pitcher in baseball," Bumgarner said. "To beable to do thatis pretty special." Bumgarner and B uster Posey are the only Giants who have homered against Ker shaw. "It was a fastball right down the middle," Kershaw said. "I should have respected him a little more." San Francisco outscored the Dodgers 10-0 in sweeping the three-game series.

"The thing you' ve got to realize is pitchers get nervous, too, when there's runners in scoring position, but that's not something you realize when you' re struggling as a team in that situation." Oakland also failed to score in the fourth after loading the bases with two outs when Sam Fuld, mired in a 3-for-48 slide, hit a grounder.

BUSH Continued from PageCl Southern California — played in only 11 games with nine starts last season with the Lions because of injuries, including an ankle issue. He carried 76 times for 297 yards and two touchdowils.

Bush said joining the 49ers ')ust felt right," and that's why he wants to

doeverythingh ~e can tobe on the field

even if it means a steady role ofst. cial teams. He and former Australian league rugby star Jarryd Hayne were the only two practicing punt returns Thursday. 'Tve done it my whole career. Get-

ting out there and catching punts for me, I didn't feel like I'm missing a beat or I' ve gotten rusty," Bush said. "It's another challenge for me and another opportunity for me to go out there and showcase my skills. It was my idea. I told coaches that I wanted to return punts again. They were excited about it." Bush didn't return punts in two seasons with Detroit following two with Miami. He joins a running backs corps that indudes a healthy Kendall Hunter and second-year pro Carlos Hyde, who didn't practice Thursday but was at team headquarters. They have a big job to try to fill the void with the loss of &anchise rushing

leader Frank Gore to the Indianapolis Colts this offseason. Bush is already making an impression. "Reggie!n wide receiver Quinton Patton hollered when he walked past the rumiing back's locker. Rookie Mike Davis already learned plenty about quarterback Colin Kaepernick's zippy passes. "Kaep owe me a new thumb," Davis posted on Twitter with an unhappy face next to it. He seemed fine during a 90-minute practice. Bush even had a few reps at wide receiver during team drills, finding creative ways to get him involved in the offense. The Lions signed Bush as a &ee agent before the'13 season, hoping he

would boost their offense. Then he ran for 1,006yards, the second-highest total of his career and finished with 1,512 total yards &om scriinmage. Drafted by New Orleans out of Southern California in 2006 with the No. 2 overall pick, he helped the Saints win a Super Bowl before spending two seasons in Miami. Hunter, 26, made several quick bursts on the field and showed that he is fully recovered &om a knee injury. "Getting better by the day," he said. When you' ve got the ball, everything goes blank You' re in your zone. Once I'm out there I don't think about the injury. When you' re able to play the game and have another chance to be back out there, it's a blessing. I cher-

ish every moment of it." Hunter tore the anterior cruciate

ligament in his right knee during training camp last summer. That came after he worked himself back &om a tom leit AchiHes tendon that sidelined him for the final two months of the team's 2012 Super Bowl season. Filling Gore's shoes will be a longterm project. ~s a le gend. He's like a big brother to me," Hunter said. "We' ve got agood group that loves to compete."
