OUR VIEW

The Union Democrat for the past four years has reported on the arrogance and abuses of a handful of public officials at Columbia Elementary. Sadly, a few readers on the sidelines still take personally our scrutiny of a public institution and a few bad actors withinincluding retiring Superintendent John Pendley, a few members of the Board of Trustees, and a small handful of staffers. Here's a recent complaint about a May 23 editorial on campus

rumblings (see sidebar): I am a parent of children who attend Columbia Elementary School and who are4th generation in our family to attend this

school. It broke my heart tonight to read this horrible story about theschool. Youare dragging our school through the mud like its nothing! I am ashamed to live in a community who thinks this is ok! Your

j ob is to report thefacts, not to ruin the publi cs image o f one of the best schools in our county! There are so many good, wholesomefamilieswho areinvolved in our school and that will never change, regardless of you lack of tack!We work very hard to m ake sure our kids have a wonderful

school, and they do...soplease,enough already! Our schoolis a million times what your biased opinion will ever be!!" Another critic of our editorial was former Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors member Dick Pland.

In a letter penned by him and his wife, in today's paper, he describes our reporting as a "vendetta," which completely misconstrues the role of the media in our society. Most Americans would say watchdog, while some, like Pland, might say lapdog. We' re happy to report these two criticisms were stacked up against a half-dozen letters and calls supporting this most-recent reporting. Most people seem to understand. A point we' ve &equently made that certainly bears repeating: Our stories and editorials are focused on a few people who misuse their power and have otherwise proven themselves unfit for public service. We' ve repeatedly noted that students at Columbia do very well academically, and that the vast majority of campus staffers and parents do a wonderful job creating community and supporting kids. We also routinely report on Columbia's milestones and events, like student art projects, holiday activities, performances, etc. and will always do so. But something else we feel needs to be repeated oAen and clearly. That is, schools are built and funded to create safe learning environments for children. They should not serve as employment agencies or rehabilitative sanctuaries for the delinquent, grown sons of powerful insiders.

In case you missed it... The most recent questionable decision-making at Columbia we reported on (May 23) involved the son of board member LauraPhelan working around campus. His work, according to employees, was "volunteer," making it distinctly different than the paid jobs given to Superintendent John Pendley's son. (If you' re not sure where that went, you can find the stories in our on-line archive www.uniondemocrat.corn — search term "Pendley.") Our point was that Brandon Phelan was on probation at the time in connection with a crime we won' t, out of respectfor thevictim, getintohere. Because juvenile records are sealed, we may never be able to say with certainty the nature of his actual conviction or subsequent volunteerism. That is, in reference to the latter, whether he was working on a merit badge, personally atoning or performing community service.

W hat we cansay for certain is it's inappropriate to have this young man around campus, particularly while school is in session. P.S. Mr. Pland, we' re tired of writing about these people too. Maybe you could use your infiuence to make them behave?

GUEST COLUMN

Weak foreign policy perilous Victor Davis Hanson For a time, reset, concessions and appeasement work to delay wars. But finally, nations wake up, grasp theirblunders, rearm and face down enemies. That gets dangerous. The shocked aggressors cannot quite believe that their targets are suddenly serious and willing to punch back. Usually, the bullies foolishly press aggression, and war breaks out. It was insane of Nazi Germany and its Axis partners to even imagine that they could defeat the Allied trio of Imperial Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States. But why not try? Hitler figured that for a decade America had been unarmed and isolationist. Britain repeatedly had appeased the Third Reich. The Soviets initially collaborated with Hitler. Hitler met no opposition after militarizing the Rhineland. He annexed Austria with impunity. He gobbled up Czechoslovakia without opposition. Why shouldn't Hitler have been stunned in 1939 when exasperated Britain and France fi nally declared war over his invasion of distant Poland? Six yearsofwar and some 60 million dead followed, re-establishing what should have been the obvious fact that democracies would not quite commit suicide. By 1979, the Jimmy Carter administration had drastically cut the defense budget. Carter promised that he would make human rights govern American foreign policy. It sounded great to Americans after Vietnam — and even greater to America's enemies.

Then Iran imploded. The American embassy in Tehran was stormed. Diplomats were taken hostage. Radical Islamic terrorism spread throughout the Middle East. Communist insurrection followed throughout Central America. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. China went into Vietnam. Dictators such as the Soviet Union's Leonid Brezhnev and Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini assumed that Carter no longer was willing to protect the U.S. postwar order. Or perhaps they figured that the inexperienced American president

was too weak to respond even had he wished to do so. Then, RonaldReagan defeated Carter in 1980 on the promise of restoring U.S. power. At first, both America's friends and enemies were aghast at Reagan's simplistic worldview that free markets were better than communism, that democracywas superior to dictatorship, and that in the ensuring struggle, the West would win and the rest would lose. Foreign mediadamned Reagan as a warmonger for beefing up the U.S. defense budget, reassuringAmerica's allies and going after terrorists with military force. From 1981 to 1983, Reagan was caricatured

even at home as a cowboy — not the statesman later to be known for restoring U.S. prestige and global stability, and for helping to bring down Soviet imperial communism. Barack Obama, like Carter, came into office promising a sharp break from past U.S foreign policy. The public was receptive after the costly wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the recent financial meltdown on Wall Street. Troops were withdrawn from Afghanistan on pre-announced deadlines. The post-surge quiet in Iraq fooled Obama into eagerly yanking out all U.S. peacekeepers. A new outreach to radical Islam went to ridiculous lengths. T he Muslim Brotherhood was i nvited t o Obama's speech in Cairo that claimed the West owed cultural debts to Islam for everything from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment. Terms like radical Islam, jihad and Islamic terror were excised from the official American vocabulary and replaced by a host of silly euphemisms. In symbolic tours, Obama offered apologies for past American behavior in the Middle East and Asia. He bowed to both theocratic sheiks and the Asian monarchs. The defense budget was cut. Reset with Vladimir Putin's Russia assumed that the Bush administration, not Putin's prior aggression in Georgia and threats to the Crimea, had caused

ton. Predictable chaos followed as the U.S. became an observer abroad. The Islamic State appeared to fill the vacuum in Iraq.

Syria imploded. So did most of North Africa. Iran sentagents,surrogates and specialforces into Iraq, Syria and Yemen, even as it pressed on to get a bomb. China stepped up its violations of the waters and airspace of America's traditional Asian allies. Putin did the same in Eastern and Northern Europe. By 2015, America's enemies had created chaos and defined it as the new normal. The next president will face a terrible dilemma. To restore order, he or she will have to convince our allies that we are recommitted to their security. Any red lines issued will have to be enforced. Aggressors such as Russia, China, Iran and the Islamic State will have to be warned to cease and desist or face pushback from far stronger U.S.-led coalitions. Just as Reagan's return t o

n o rmal U.S. for-

eign policy was considered radicalafter the Carter years, so too the next administration will be smeared as dangerously provocative after Obama's recession from the world stage. The Obama foreign policy cannot continue much longer without provoking even more chaos or a large war. Yet correcting it will be nearly as dangerous. Jumping off at the global tiger is dangerous, but climbing back on will seem riskier. Victor Davis Hanson is a syndicated newspaper columnist, military historian and classics profes-

Kris Ethel ]Morganj Morrison Jan. 12, 1947 — April 30, 2015

Kris Ethel (Morgan) Morrison has retired, although not in the way she was planning to. She received an unexpected call from her Lord to retire into his kingdom while enjoying a quiet evening at the home she loved and shared with her beloved husband, Norman Morrison, in La Grange. She enjoyed large gatherings of family and friends at theirnew home, and had many plans for celebrations to come; the soonest

of which, was to be the celebrationof25 years ofm arriage to her best friend, Norman. Her gregarious and benevolent spirit afforded her veryclose relationships that she nurtured with love and care. As an incredibly eclectic soul, she enjoyed what this world had to offer her. A few of her interests were horseback riding, live music, rides on Norm's Harley, social events, volunteering with th e Widder's of E Clampus Vitus, professional footballgames, her grandchildren's sporting events, hosting parties, the ballet, elegant tea parties, delicious food, rock 'n roll, sunsets and most of all spending time with her grandchildren. She will be affectionatelyremembered and missed by many. Kris was born in Akron, Ohio, to James William and

Geraldine Phyllis (Sandner) Morgan, who preceded her in death. The family of three moved to the Ferretti Family Ranch in Moccasin, where Kris was raised with her three younger brothers. She attended elementary school in the one room school house in Groveland and attended Sonora High School until she graduated in 1965. She married Ron Brumfield at the age of 19 and raised their two daughters in Tuolumne County.

FCC to crack down on unwanted robocalls The Los Angeles Times

Disrupting the lives of millions of Americans, telemarketers and scammers are routinely using technological advances to automatically dial phone numbers and circumvent the popular Do Not Call list. Now a top federal regulator wants to make it easierforconsumers tostop those so-called robocalls, which have become a bigger problem in recent years as they' ve spread from land-line phones to wireless devices.

A proposalby the head of the Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday would strengthen consumers' rights and give phone companies the green light to offer technologies to block most robocaHs and spam text messages. The agency received 215,000 complaints about robocaHs and texts last year, more than on any other issue. The Federal

normal. To some scientists, these are signs that the elusive, unpredictable El Nino weather phenomenon is gaining strength — and offering a glimmer of hope after more than three years of extreme drought. El ¹inos have been responsible for two of California's wettest and most destructive rainy seasons: the winters

This month's weather suggests how El ¹ino's building strength is already affecting the United States. It's giving weather scientists reason to be cautiously optimistic that it has the stamina to see it through California's rainy season, which typically begins in October and ends in April. "Can one big year ease the drought conditions? Yes, it can," said Michael Anderson, state climatologist with the California Department of Water Resources. "It can definitely replenish the surface storage and can have some

benefit to starting to replenish some of the groundwater." In December, California water officials said that it would take 75 inches of precipitation in the northern Sierra Nevada — a majorsource of water for the state — to

end the drought and bring reservoir storage and runoff back to normal levels. So far, the traditional rain season has been a bustonly 34.9inches have fallen, below the average of 50 inches. But the infamous winter of 1982-88 dropped 88.5 inches of precipitation into the northern Sierra Nevada, the wettest season on record, according to the Department of

In Texas, Oklahoma and Mexico, destructive storms flooded communities and unleashed a tornado, leaving more than two dozen dead. Across Southern California, this month has been decidedly cooler and wetter. San Diego had its wettest May in 94 years, and Los Angeles saw nearly four times its average rainfall. This month, the San Diego Padres were forced to call a rain delay — only the fifth time that has happened in Petco Park's ll-year history. Even the Mo-

The holiday weekend is an important time for residents toclear pine needles from roofs, trim overgrown vegetationand properly burn the debris before the hot, dry summer months and wildfire risk settle in, White said. Permit holders this weekend will still have to check on burn-day status, which is determined by the California Air Resources Control Board. Residents of T u olumne County can check burn-day statusand other restrictions by calling 533-5598. Calaveras County residents can get similar information at 754-6504.

The county's day reporting center, at 1194 Highway 49 in Sonora, opened more than three years ago in response to California's "public safety realignment" through Assembly Bill 109 — a state law passed in 2011 to cut the state's prison population as ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court. AB 109 reduced sentences for some previously prisonable offenses and shifted the responsibility of monitoring low-risk prison convicts &om State Parole to county probation departments upon their release. Former prisoners in the day reporting center program — which lasts six to eight months — must undergo intensive supervision, behavioral therapy and other training intended to reintegrate them into society. Castaneda, who oversees a district that also includes Merced, Madera and Fresno counties, said that Tuolumne County's program is among the best in terms of its success rate.

"(Tuolumne County) is averaging 85 to 90 percent attendance and check-ins are around 90 percent," he said. "The outcomes have been tremendous." Among those who received

Parent participants also learn aboutleadership and advocacy and are taught skills and strategies to create change in their families, organizations and communities. Topics also covered in the training included identifying personal leadership skills and strengths, practicing advocacy skills to create change in systems, conflict resolution skills and communication strategies, Johnson said.

During the May 22 training, parents talked about "targets," "agents" and "allies." A "target" is a person who may be looked upon as lesser, explained Mooney, a parent leadership trainer and graduateofthe2014 class. An agent is someone from the socially accepted group that may have power, and an ally is the person who brings the two groups together, she said.

"bullies." One parent shared how, when she started standing up for her son to school administrators and teachers, he was empowered and started helping out other kids who have family issues. "I put him through so much. Of course he's going to have issues," said parent Kathryn Bamford, of Columbia. She shared how proud she was of her son for being a mentor and friend to other kids he knew who were going through similar issues. Parent Melissa Hughes, of Twain Harte, shared how the first couple of sessions had made her feel like she wasn' t alone. "We were alone until I came to this class," Hughes said."When there isn't a place besides churches to help you and socially network, you can be like 'well there's nothing for me' or you can be that person that starts it."

Sonora graduate Thompson signs letter with DII

Alaska-Anchorage By GUY DOSSI The Union Democrat

SonoraHigh graduate Tayler Thomp-

son is heading far north to continue his

education, paid for by his outstanding playon thebasketballcourt. In the fall, Thompson will attend the University of Anchorage Alaska, approximately 3,130 miles north of Sonora, on a full-ride scholarship. uEverythmg that they threw at me, from the full-ride scholarship, to the new gym, just makes me focus on that stuff r ather than the climate," said Thompson. "I guess I figure that I will be spending most of my time studying, practicing, and training for games. We have tofi y to every away game. They have their own plane because you can' t reallydrive to the next game because we' re in Alaska. I just figure I will be so focused on school and athletics that I won't have time to focus on outside." Thompson,21,graduated from Sonora High in 2012, and played two seasons for legendary coach Rick Francis. While at Sonora, the 6-foot-9 Thompson put up strong numbers. In his senior season, Thompson averaged 10.3 points per gameand hauled in eight rebounds per game. He had 15 games where he scored 10 or more points, and eight games where he pulled 10 or more rebounds. He had a season-high 17 boards against Kimball, and finished the season with 205 rebounds. He scored 267 points and had a team-high31 blocks.Thompson ended his Sonora career with 441 points and 363 rebounds. Thompson attended Stanislaus State in Turlock and was a member of the basketball team. But his Warrior career was over quickly. uI was on the team and I played four games and I tweaked my back a little bit," Thompson said. "It wasn't that bad, but the trainer told me that I should just sit out the rest of the season and get my year back by being a medical redshirt." Thompson took his talent f'rom Turlock to San Luis Obispo in 2013 and transferred to Cuesta Community College.

Brown trout are not eligible in the Big Fish contest at Glory Hole Sports so the big fish winner in the trout division was Niko Coromelas of Rancho Cordova with a 2-pound, 5-ounce rainbow. Big catfish winner was Alex Coffey, also of Rancho Cordova, with a 7-pound, 14-ouncer. Kokanee limits are still turning up as reported by guide Gary Burns who has been finding them &om 42-to50 feet deep. He advises to stay in the main lake channel to avoid hooking a submerged tree. Bass fishing continues good as the fish move to deeper water following the spawn sea-

in early morning and going deeper later in the morning. Some big browns have turned up lately for anglers trolling Rapala lures or &ozen shad. Among those coming up with big browns was Shannon Anderson, of Lodi, who got a son.

Memorial Day weekend at Pinecrest drew lotsofcam persand anglers,despite cooler weather earlier in the week. Heavy trout plants were made prior to the weekend and shore anglers made some nice catches with Power Bait

or salmon eggs while trollers picked up a few fish with small lures or flasher/worm combos. The bite should improve when warmer weather moves in and the fish become more active.

As traditional Memorial Day comes up May 30, I would like to acknowledge some &iends and true sports-

BRIEFS MLS 2016 All-Star

game at San3ose's Avaya Stadium SAN JOSE (AP) — The San Jose Earthquakes know they have one of the snazziest new soccer stadiums around, and now they' re gearing up to show it off for all of Major League Soccer to see. State-of-the-art Avaya S tadium will h ost t h e 2016 Major League Soccer All-Star Game, MLS Deputy Commissioner Mark Abbott said Thursday at the stadium. Commissioner Don Garber didn't attend the news conference with no

reason given by MLS. Avaya, an 18,000-seat soccer-specific stadium, just hosted the U.S. women's World Cup team's win against Ireland on May 10. Club America will face the Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium on July 14 in the International Champions Cup. The franchise broke ground on the privately funded, $100 million stadium in October 2012, and it is known for its technological capabilities — not to mention other unique elements such as boasting the largestoutdoor bar in North America behind one goal and food truck options for concessions with an expansive grassy area forkids to play or watch a game on the huge video board.

Blatter resists calls to resign amid scandal ZURICH (AP) — As defiant as ever,Sepp Blatterresisted calls to resign as FIFA president Thursday and deflected blame for the massive bribery and corruption scandal engulfing soccer's world governing body. "We, or I, cannot monitor

everyone all of the time," Blatter said in his first public remarks on the crisis that has further tainted his leadership on the eve of his bid for a fifth term as president. The 79-year-old Blatter insisted he could restore trustin world soccer aAer a pairofcorruption investigations brought "shame and humiliation" on his organization and the world' s most popular sport. Despite a tide of criticism and pressure on him to leave, Blatter is moving ahead with a presidential election Friday that is likely to bring him another four years in office as one of them most powerful men in sports. Blatterrefused to back down after European soccer body UEFA demanded earlier Thursday that he quit following the latest — and most serious allegationsto discredit FIFA during his 17 years in office. UEFA President Michel Platini met privately with Blatter and asked him to go. Blatter, who is expected to win Friday's election against Prince Ali bin alHussein of Jordan, is coming under increasing scrutiny amid U.S. and Swiss federal investigations into high-level corruption tearing at FIFA.

THE UN' DEMO CRAT

Sharks announce DeBoer as new coach SAN JOSE (AP) — San Jose general manager Doug Wilson was so impressed by Peter DeBoer when he interviewed in 2008 that he moved to the top of the list when the Sharks had to search for a new head coach. The experience DeBoer gained in those intervening years coaching Florida and New Jersey only made Wilson more certain of his decision to hire DeBoer to replace Todd McLellan. The Sharks officially announced Thursday that DeBoer will be the fianchise's eighth head coach, seven years afier DeBoer was a finalist for the job the last time it was open. "I would just say his interview and what he's added to himself in the last seven years is really impressive," Wilson said. "You do learn through good experiences, bad experiences. To me, a really bright guy who has taken every experience and added an additional layer to it." DeBoer's teams did not have great success, making the playoffs one time in six full seasons. He was fired midway through his fourth year in New Jersey back in December and said he was eager to get another opportunity to show that he was not the problem.

DeBoer takes over a team

month at the world champion-

that missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008 and finished 12th in the 14-team Western Conference with 89 points. He compares the situation in San Jose to the one he inherited in New Jersey in 2011. The Devils had just had their 18year playoff run snapped before DeBoer led them to the Stanley Cup finals in his first season where they lost to Los Angeles in six games. "There's a lot of similarities," he said. "What I found with the group in New Jersey thatIseehere,isIsee agroup of veteran guys and young players that have hit a little bit of a rut here. I think their true characteris going to be tested. Isee enough character in that room, that I see a big bounce-back year."

ships. DeBoer was an assistant to

McLellan on that team, helping Canada win the title. He said he purposely didn't ask McLellan too many questions about the Sharks so he would be ableto take over the job with an open mind. "It was like not opening a box on Christmas," he said. eYou want to ask as many

questions as you can, but you forceyourself not to because I didn't want to go in with preconceived notions of this group. San Jose is trying to transition kom a team led by Thornton and Marleau to one built aroundplayerslike Joe Pavelski, Brent Burns, Logan Couture and Mare Edouard-Vlasic. DeBoer's main task will be to develop a young core to support those players in their primes. The Sharks played many young players the past season with mixed results.

"The expectation is to win right now, regardless of the ages or birth certificates of the players," DeBoer said. 'There's a tradition here of winning and challenging to go deep into the playoffs. That' s my expectation. I think that' s Doug's expectation. I don' t think anyone is looking for anything less than that here."

"It's for sure the most exciting seriesI'veeverbeen apart of personall y," said Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin, a Stanley Cup champion with 96 games of NHL playoff experience. The games have mostly been close, but they' ve also been extremely well-played. Anaheim's deep, balanced lineup has wrestled Chicago's star-poweredrosterto a virtual stalemate through six games, with the Blackhawks winning two of the three over-

Not just n ow, t hough. They' ve still got to determine whether this tale has a happy ending or a brutal punchline. Two weeks of extraordinarily high-level hockey conclude Saturday night at H onda Center when the Ducks and the Blackhawks play Game 7 for the Campbell Bowl and a trip to the Stanley Cup Final. They' ve traded victories for six tense games across the past two weeks, playing six overtime periods and four one-goal games. Both teams used Thursday for travel and mental prepa-

THOMPSON Continued from PageC1 "I feel like I needed some time to develop and I just wanted to be a leader and get more experience," Thompson said. "I think that junior college basketball is much more up and down. The tempo speeds up a lot more. At the four-yearthere are a lotm ore set plays, while in junior college ball, you get to run up the courta lotm ore." Thompson's career at Cuesta startedoutslow,butby the end of his sophomore season, he became one of the top players in the Western State League. "My freshman year I didn' t play too much a Cuesta because I was one of the younger guys," Thompson said. "But thisyear,Iworked reallyhard during the summer and I became a starterand team cap-

tain. It was all around a really good year and I'm really happy about it. It was a fun experience." T hompson finished h i s sophomore season as the team'ssecond-leading scorer with 11.5 points per game. His 56.7shooting percentage is fourth all-time at Cuesta and 21st in California. Thompson led Cuesta with a team-high 7.9 rebounds per game which is eighth best in school history. "Iloverebounding,"Thompson said. "I think getting rebounds is my favorite thing to do on abasketballcourt.For a team tobe really successful, they need to have a good rebounder." Thompson was not only a rebound-hound, he protected the rim like he was defending his home from thieves. Thompson rejected 42 opponent's shots, which made it difficult to drive the

That's what everyone plays for." It's been a spellbinding spectacleforfansand playersalike, particularly in those overtime thrillers — even if the coaches aren't having quite the same experience. "I can't feel it, quite frankly," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. 'Tve asked people, 'Isthis a good series? Isitentertaining?' You' re caught up in the moment of winning and losing. People say it's unbelievable, but we look at it as a little different right now. It might be something you appreciate one

way or another in six months or inthefuture." The Ducks might feel a bit more pressure than the Blackhawks on home ice, and not just because they controlled long stretches of the series and got painfully close to finishing it in those overtime games. They also have a daunting bit ofrecent history to overcome: The Ducks have blown a 3-2 serieslead and lost a Game 7 at home in each of the past two postseasons, and they' re one loss from doing it agalil.

A's come from behind to defeat Yankees OAKLAND (AP) — Ben Zobrist drew a bases-loaded walk from David Carpenter in the seventh inning to break a tie and the Oakland Athletics rallied from a three-run A deficit to beat the New York Yankees 5-4 on Thursday night. Billy Burns and Brett Lawrie homered off CC Sabathia (2-7) to start the comeback from a 3-0 hole and the A' s went on to beat the Yankees for the 10th time in their past 11 meetings in Oakland. Alex Rodriguez tied Barry Bonds for second place on the all-time RBIs list and Brian McCann homered in his third straight game for the Yankees, who had their three-game winning streak snapped.

Evan Scribner (1-0) retired all five batters he faced for the win. Tyler Clippard allowed a two-out RBI double by Brett Gardner in the ' ninth before getting Chase Hedley to fly out for his fifth save in six chances. The A's ended a 12-game home losing streak of one-run games. Sabathia was cruising with a threerun lead in the fifth inning before Burns hit his second homer of the season just inside the foul pole in left field. Lawrie tied the game with a two-run shot in the sixth and the A's knocked out Sabathia when Josh Phegley and Mark Canha reached to open the seventh. Carpenter walked Zobrist with one

out to force in Canha with the goahead run and Billy Butler added a sacrifice fly to make it 5-3. Sabathia allowed five runs and eight hits in six-plus innings. McCann hit a solo homer in the second and an RBI single in the fourth against Kendall Graveman. Rodriguez was initially called out at the plate on the single when umpire Ed Hickox ruled he missed home plate while eluding the tag. Phegley then tagged Rodriguez out. But Rodriguez emphatically waved that he was safe and he was proven correct on replay, which showed his hand just got a piece of home plate as he went by. Rodriguez added a sacrifice fly in

the fifth to make it 3-0, tying Bonds for s~nd with 1,996 career RBIs. Hank Aaron has the record with 2,297. Babe Ruth drove in 2,214 runs, according to baseballreference.corn,but RBIs did not become an official stat until 1920 and the Elias Sports Bureau officially credits him with 1,992.

ADVERTISING REPRES E NTATIYE •

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@uniondemocrat.corn

Does CPK elevation need to be investigated? DEAR DR. ROACH:Since 2013, my CPK has been elevated. It was 488 in September 2013, and I was told to stay on atorvastatin for high cholesterol. In

December 2013, the CPK was 533, and I stopped the atorvastatin. I was retested six weeks later, and it went up to 562. In February 2014, it came in at 574. At my last physical, in March 2015, it was 417. There was no baseline &om the past to refer to, so my physician says my CPK may just run high. My heart health is good, with coronarycalcium scoreof0 and goodresults &om thorough screenings. I am 59, with a good BMI. My diet is great, and I work out and walk a couple of miles daily, but nothing too strenuous. My cholesterol is elevatedat233 total,butdown from 273through dietand exercise. My gynecologist mentioned that one of her patients had a high CPK and a muscle biopsy was performed and revealed an issue. A &iend said I should have thedoctor do further testing to determine the type of muscle damage.

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. I mentioned this to my doctor. He said he didn't know of any testing that could show this but he would look into it. Is the high CPK of any concern? ShouldIpush foradditionaltesting?M.B. ANSWElt Asymptomatic elevations of CPK (creatine phosphokinase, also called creatine kinase or CK, a muscle enzyme) are common. We worry about elevated CK levels because they often mean that muscles are breaking down. All muscles release CK to some extent, and this tends to increase with heavy exercise, so the first step when seeing an asymptomatic elevation is to recheck afl;e rrefraining from exercise for a few days.

The degreeof elevation is also an however, most often the condition found important issue.

Apology may be self-serving, but effective DEAR ANNIE: Thirty years ago, when I was 11, I got into an argument on the school bus with another kid my age. I was an insecure child, and I was losing the argument and feeling humiliated. In a move to try to regain some power, I called the other jDd, who is black, a racial epithet. I immediately felt sick at what I had done, and it is the onlytime, beforeorsince,thatIeverdid anything like that. I have thought about that moment hundreds of times over the years and consider it one of my lowest, most shameful decisions. Thinking about it has made me aware of inherent racial biases that I was raised with, and I haveactively tried toaddressthese. Recently, through a mutual friend, I became aware that the victim of my words is reachable through social media. My question is: Should I apologize? My apology would be sincere, but would alsoperhaps be self-serving,asit may only dredge up a terrible memory for

Today in history Today is Friday, May 29, the 149th day of 2015. There are 216 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On May 29, 1765, Patrick Henry denounced the Stamp Act before Virginia's House of Burgesses. On this date: In 1913, the ballet "Le Sacre du printemps" (The Rite of Spring), with music by lgor Stravinsky and choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky, had its chaotic world premiere in Paris. The D.H. Lawrence novel "Sons and Lovers" was first published by Duckworth & Co. of London, albeit in an expurgated version. In 1917, the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was born in Brookline, Massachusetts. In 1932, World War I veterans began arriving in Washington to demand cash bonuses they weren' t scheduled to receive until 1945. In 1943, Norman Rockwell's portrait of "Rosie the Riveter" appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post. (The model for Rockwell's Rosie, Mary Doyle Keefe, died in April 2015 at age 92.) In 1953, Mount Everest was conquered as Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tensing Norgay of Nepal became the first climbers to reach the summit. In 1961, a couple in Paynesville, West Virginia, became the first recipients of food stamps under a pilot program created by President John F. Kennedy. In 1973, Tom Bradley was elected the first black mayor of Los Angeles defeating incumbent Sam Yorty.

Get to what's most authentic. Meditation and prayer soothe, especially when pessimism creeps in. Dreams reveal your true feelings. Sagittarius (Nov. K-Dec. 21):Today is a 7 — Begin a quiet, peaceful phase. Concentrate on clean-up today and tomorrow. Introspection and nostalgia suit your mood. Complete old tasks and file papers. Remain sensitive to a loved one's wishes. A sibling's crazy idea could work. Capricorn (De:. 22 Jan. 19):Today is a 9 — Your friends are your inspiration. Confer with allies today and tomorrow. Committees are extra productive. Leave nothing to chance. State your requirements clearly. Put in the preparation. Keep your machinery well-oiled. Trust, but verify. Throw a party. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is a 9 — A test or challenge arises. Career matters demand your attention today and tomorrow. Listen carefully to instructions and follow precisely. Do the math.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier' s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Steven Chesney and Julie Chesney, husband and wife Recorded: 2/5/2001 as Instrument No. 001901 in Book 1728 Page 0471 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of TUOLUMNE County, California; Date of Sale: 6/26/2015 at 9:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Front Entrance to the Tuolumne County Administration Center, 2 S.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: Thesale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http: //www.qualityloan.corn, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-636584-CL . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Traveling with your dog will costyou,sometimes hundreds LOS ANGELES (AP)Having an 80-pound Labradoodle as a travel buddy means B.L. Ochman can quicklyseparate the hotels that love dogs from those that just put up with them. A bed-and-breakfast she visited north of New York City wouldn't let her pooch Benny trot around in the main house, among other troubles. Ochman, a Manhattan Internet strategi st, has since discovered Audrey's Farmhouse, a B&B in Wallkill, New York, that caters to dogs and doesn' t charge pet fees that can top hundreds of dollars. "Dog-fri endly means your dog is welcome," she said. "If the dog is welcome, he shouldn't cost extra money. Of course, I am a dog owner, not an innkeeper." Hotels ranging from major chains to small outposts are capital izing on the wave of travelers who bring along their dogs, some by charging for perksthat pamper pets and others by expanding fees. What started as a basic, onetime pet fee has blossomed into a per-night charge at many places and costs that can total hundreds. Some properties o ffer amenities from patches of grass to chew toys, designer bowls and in-room massages — usually for an additional price — while others simply levy cleaning fees, whether your dog makes a mess or

not. Those hotels often don' t fees, including Motel 6, Stuoffer extras or permission dio 6, Red Roof Inn,La Quinfor pooches over a c ertain ta and Kimpton, which has weight, locking out larger 67 hotels nationwide, said pets like Ochman's.
