Three feet; that is the difference between victory and defeat.

At least it will be on Sunday when the Tuolumne County Loggers take on Tuolumne Township Lumberjacks in the Tug-of-War to wrap up the 66thannual Tuolumne Lumber Jubilee.

"That three feet, it sucks. It' s hard," said Drew Brown, lineman for the Loggers. 'You' re trying to pull the whole other team your way."

Brown would know — he is no stranger to the event. In addition to participating in the Tug-of-War last year, he also took part in the Junior Tug-of-Warin 2009.Although there is anage gap that makes for a differentlevel ofcompetition between

''When you' re a kid and you' re pulling against other kids, you' re still pulling your equal strength," Brown said. "The only thing different about it is that you' re older, you' re stronger, you' re tougher, but some of the other guys on their team (are too)."

levels of competition in the Tug-ofWar, it doesn't make it easy. Troy Barajas, coach for the Lumberjacks, said athletes are not permitted to drink water, cannot be touched or touch the wooden cleats with their hands.The cleats are a series of wooden slats the participants use to gain leverage.

"Every minute of it sucks. There' s nothing fun about this sport," Brown said. "It's just how dumb and tough you are."

The Tug-of-War, which Barajas says can last anywhere between seven minutes and two and a half hours, has an ambulance and a paramedicteam present each year.

"They were no worse, however, than some crazed volunteerswho carried out costly glassware, etc., and then w a s a c om-

Fortunately there w ere no major casualties. "Tony Yancey became overcome by heat and inhaling smoke, and fell senseless in the Neal residence" the Democrat noted.

"He was carried to the home of his sister, Mrs. William Pereira, where a doctor soon had the young man up and ready to fightanother fire.W. C. Griffith, Andrew Glasson and Y. A. Terzich had narrow escapes from serious injury as well, falling from ladders."

"Who is to blame for the blunders that made the fire department ridiculous in the primary stage of Monday night's conflagration? Isn't it about time the old-fashioned hand engine was discarded and a modern machine purchased by the City Trustees?

According to general opinion, the Bradford fire department is all right," the Democrat concluded. 'The good news is that there was but one alarm of 6re throughout the entire Fourth of July celebration.

The bad news: The blaze, owning to a series of unfortunate complications, was a disaster."

F ootnote: Times h a v e changed. If John Adams were alive today he might want to rethink the part of his statement givenabove about bonfires and illuminations.

The City of Sonora will sponsor no Fourth of July events this year. Lighting of 6reworks in Tuolumne County without a license is now illegal. In Calaveras County, check with your local fire districtbefore setting offeven a sparkler. There are 10 separate jurisdictions, all with their own regulations governing fireworks.

Happy Fourth of July.

Tuolumne County eligible for Rim Fire recovery funds

By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

California will be eligible for up to $500 million in federal funding later this year for post-Rim Fire projects that would benefit the Tuolumne County area.

County officials received word late Monday afternoon that California was one of 26 states selected by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to move onto the second phase of the National Disaster Resilience Competition, a federal program announced

by President Barack Obama last June.

"Now the real work begins," said Deputy County Administrator Maureen Frank, who is overseeing the local effort to organize projects that would be eligible for funding.

The competition is designed to provide federal funding for areas that experienced a naturaldisasterin 2011,2012 or 2013.

Tuolumne County was eligible because of the 2013 Rim Fire that burned more than 400 square miles in the Central Sierra and forced hundreds along Highway 108 to flee their homes.

Though five other California counties experienced a natural disaster in that time frame, Frank said the Governor's Office told her that Tuolumne was selected for the state's application due to the size ofthe Rim

Fire, the area's unmet needs and reputation of coll aboration between localgroups.

A totalof48 statessubmitted applications in the competition's first phase.

The Governor's Office now must submit a second application to HUD by Oct. 27 that lists specific projects to receive funding, Frank said.

'This is just the start of the fun," she said.

Frank held two meetings last Wednesday to share information about requirements for projects to be eligible for inclusion in the second-phase application.

She said the meetings were well attended by leadersof various public and private organizations, including Tuolumne Utilities District, Groveland Community Services District, Twain Harte Community Services District, Cal Fire, Sierra Pacific Industries, Pacifi c-Ultrapower and more.

More information will be posted in the coming weeks about public meetings to gather further input and project ideas.

"We' ll continue to update the website as we get information from the state and continue to refine that," she said. "As we get more information, we' ll get that out to the

public and continue to have discussions as far asour unmet needs and what we need to build a more resilient community in Tuolumne County."

Vehicle theft down in Mother Lode

By JASON COWAN The Union Democrat

V ehicle thefts

i n Tu o l umne a n d

Calaveras counties are down for the first time in two years.

Data gathered from the National Insurance Crime Bureau, a not-for-profit orga-

nization that works to prevent insurance fraud and crime, shows Tuolumne and Calaverascounties may be close to following a statewide trend that has seen a 7 percent decrease in stolen vehicles the past two years.

California Highway Patrol officer Jamie Pullen said most thefts in the area come as a resultof leaving the vehicle running during the winter or lending the automobileto strangers.

In 2011 and 2012, 183 vehicles were reported stolen in Tuolumne and Calaveras counties, but the number increased to 237 in 2013, a 29.5 percent bump. In 2014, the number decreased to 220, a 7 percent de-

To thwart thieves, CHP suggested receiving an ownership certificate when purchasing a used vehicle, not hiding a duplicate ignition key within the proximity of the vehicle, being careful while driving a car that is popularly stolen, being aware of the surroundings before leaving the automobile, and parking in a well-lit and secure location.

Statewide,159,271 vehicles were stolen in 2014 worth an estimated $900 million, according to a CHP press release. Of the 90 percent of the vehicles that were successfully recovered, 65 percent were drivable, 12 percent were without minor parts, 4 percent without major parts and nearly 19 percent were purposely damaged.

Our state lawmaker Frank Bigelow, R-O'Neals, earlier this month carried a unanimously supported Assembly resolution proclaiming June "California Fairground Appreciation Month."

It was a largely symbolic gesture, timed closely with county fair season as well as state budget talks.

For ourpurposes, it also provides a good opportunity to revisit the state of our own Mother Lode Fairgrounds and, particularly, the organizations that have helped support this ultra-important community venue through

its darkest days.

Trouble for th e f a irgrounds started in 2011 when the state slashed $200,000 in funding in a

The f a irgrounds h ob -

bled through the following years, regaining about $36,000 in state funding.

A nice chunk of change, but the fairgrounds through it all got a major boost from organizations like the Friends of the Mother Lode Fair, and the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs.

Their work has included grounds maintenance and capital improvements like fencing and wi-fi upgrades, fairtime flags, and other equipment purchases.

These contributions are hardly insignificant when weighed against the importance of the fairgrounds to this community.

The Stockton Road complex of parking lots, lawns and exhibition halls plays host to the county's biggest events and severalsmaller ones.

They include December's community Christmas dinner,January's 4-H Community Dinner and Decorated Cake Auction, the Celtic Fair in March, the April Children's Fair, the springtime Home and Garden Show, May's Mother Lode Roundup Rodeo,the June Senior Expo, the summertime Mother Lode Fair, the Health Fair in October, and the October Harvest Festival.

It's been a rough few years for the fair. But, nowadays, the pictureisgetting better.

The governor's budget bill rolled out this June includes a provision to fully restore funding to county fairs, including the popular Mother Lode Fair and Calaveras CountyFair and Jumping Frog Jubilee.

The proposed budget calls for about $3 million to assist with fair operations statewide, as well as $7 million as well as funds for deferred maintenance.

We hope the full funding returns and also thank the volunteer organizations that have helped maintain and improve the fairgrounds through it all.

Note: To get involved with the Friends of the Mother Lode Fair, contact Bart Bloom at 533-0456or Albert Barreno at 534-3516.

demographically as "millennials" — can afford to buy the median-priced home, which now goes for just over $500,000.

Overall, just 34 percent of households in the L.A. metropolitan area can afford that same home. Which means that in the housing department, it only helps alittle to be older and more establishedin a career.

Things are even more restricted in the San Francisco Bay area, where the m edian-priced home costsabout 8 percent more than around Los Angeles.

Just 14 percent of all households in the city itself can afford the median-priced San Francisco home, which runs even higher than the regional median. Affordability barely rises in Marin County, where a mere 15 percent of households can afford a median-priced home.

Things aren't much looser in Sonoma, SanDiego,Orange, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, Alameda, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Napa counties.

In the larger regions of Northern and Southern California, things loosen up as you get farther from the coast. In the Inland Empire region of San Bernardino and Riverside counties, 47 percent of households can buy the median priced home if they'd like, while half can in Solano County.

The Central Valley is about the only large part of California where housing isreasonably affordable, with 56 percent able to buy the median-priced home in Madera and Tulare Counties, 49 percentin Sacramento County and 64 percent in Kings County.

By comparison, the national average is 57percent affordability.

And yet, if you' re a 28-year-old father who would like to live and work in the cooler, breezier climes near California's coast, you can pretty much forget it unless you' re a computer program-

mer, lawyer, doctor or in another highsalaried job. Even young professionals pulling down salaries approaching $200,000 ayear often can't afford to buy in places like San Francisco, coastal Orange County or the West Side of Los Angeles.

In part, the high pay of workers in high-tech companies drives this crisis, which for many is much more serious than the ongoing drought. There's no sense worrying about cutting the wa-

tering time on your lawn if you can' t afford to own one.

The Western Los Angeles County scene is among the most dramatic.

TaxpayerssupportValley Springsasphalt plant To the Editor: This is regarding the new asphalt plant at the rock quarry in Valley Springs. After studying the facts, we believe the Planning Director did the right thing in approving the Asphalt Hot Plant application.

The fumes issue is handled by a cleaning process approved by the regulatory agencies.

In fact, there are 11 government agencies with rules to be complied with and the owner claims to have done so for 25 years without incident.

Asphalt is not a hazard or a pollutant.

It is used extensively on all our roads. It sheds water and there is no danger ofgroundwater contamination or danger to our water supply. It is even used to waterproof drinlDng

The asphalt plant provides an unseen benefit to the taxpayer in lower

cost for building and repair of our public roads.

Presently, asphalt is hauled in f'rom out of county with increased transportationcosts.These costs are

reflected in the bid amount for road projects.

This company is under attack with false accusations.

The only hope for Ford Construction Company and our &agile economy is for honest people of good will to learn the truth and speak up.

Rents in the most desired areas have risen comparably, to the point where a two-bedroom apartment in much of both Los Angeles and San Francisco now goes for upwards of $3,500 per m onth, or more than $40,000 a year.

One obvious solution might be more housing, which ordinarily could drive prices down. But with thousands of new units under construction and even m ore on the drawing board in thePlaya Vista planned community north of the Los Angelesairport,prices are rising, not dropping.

Meanwhile, slow-growth advocates concerned about what more housing m ight doto already gridlocked traffic want housing growth to stop, and never mind affordability.

The result is likely to be very slow growth in a state whose population increase last year amounted to just over 1 percent — far below the influxes so common in California's high-growth 20th Century.

So the state will likely lose seats in Congress after the next Census to states like Texas, Arizona and Nevada, where housing is both cheaper and more available.

Mother Nature might eventually solvethe drought crisis,butit's hard to see what might solve the housing situation, fast becoming a frustrating catastrophe for many.

Vi viarz Daniel Skipper JULY 25, 1923 - JvNE 18, 2015

Vivian Daniel Skipper died peacefully on June 18, 2015 at her home — which for more than ten years has been Unit 6 of Sonora Regional Medical Center. She was dearly beloved by the caring and compassionate staff and received excellent care under the direction of Dr. Matthew Personious. She was 91 years old. Her only daughter was at her bedside and watched her joyfully enter Heaven.

(Annie) Vivian Daniel was born on July 25, 1923 in Mulberry, Arkansas to Ralph and Damie (Hargrove) Daniel. She was the oldest of 8 children born to a share cropper's family. It was a hard life — enriched by faith, family and music.

Her father Ralph eventually settled in D u n can, Arizona and became a Freewill Baptist Minister. In her senior year of high school, Vivian was hired as a secretary at the Phelps-Dodge Corporation Copper Mine in Morenci, Arizona. This was during the war effort. W h i l e working at the Mine Vivian met her future husband, James Edgar Skipper and they married on December 19, 1945 in Safford, Arizona. Vivian was widowed on June 4, 1953.

Vivian relocated to Jamestown, California in 1953 following the death of her husband.

Shortly after, she started attending the Sonora Assembly of God Church — which became her church home for the rest of her life. She was active as a Bible Teacher, Prayer Chain Member, Sunday School Teacher and Missionette and Royal Rangers leader. For many years she was Sunday School Superintendent. She directed annual Vacation Bible Schools each summer and loved interaction with children. Frequently on Sunday mornings she would drive throughout the County picking up children to bring to Sunday School.

During the late 1950's and early 1960's she had a Saturday morning radio program on KROG in Sonora called "Bells of the Mother Lode" where she mould share music, devotionals and contests. Many children in Tuolumne County received a prize in the mail from calling in with a correct answer on her program.

S he also spent several summers as a camp c ounselor and c r aft d i r ector fo r Assemblies of God summer youth camps.

She worked as a dental assistant/office manager for 32 years. During this time she was also involved with Aglow Women's Ministries. Vivian loved to write. She developed v olumes of articles, poems, Bible Studies and was always working on books. H e r book "Spiritual Safety and Self Defense" is available on Amazon. She was often published in The Evangel — a publication of the Assemblies of God. Her Letters to the Editor frequently appeared in The Union Democrat and she took a keen interest in the affairs and health of Tuolumne County. Many County Supervisors encountered Vivian at one point or another during their terms of office.

Wherever Vivian ment throughout her days — she left behind "tracks" — little handout articles introducing the receiver to salvation and Jesus Christ. She was sharing her salvation message every minute of every day. She stood tall as a proud and confident Woman of God. Vivian lived through polio as a teenager, and shortly after began to suffer symptoms of Muscular Dystrophy. She was actually diagnosed with MD in 1955 and was given a life expectancy of 10 years. She exceeded that projection by 50 years. She credited that gift of time to her faith and the grace of God.

Vivian was preceded in death by her husband, James Skipper. H e r s on, J ohn Skipper. Her brothers Elvin, Roland and Leonard Daniel. Her sisters Jeanne Swink and Wilma Stockton, her nephew Mike Stockton and nieces Cherry Lou Hartley, Susan Stockton and Diane Stockton.

A n d her special cousin Bob (Sandy) Hargrove.

Numerous nieces and nephews whom she adored. Special recognition to the Griswold family — her "chosen" family who greatly enriched her life.

Vivian shared her faith with everyone she encountered. She was unashamed to reach out in even the most unusual circumstances. M any y ears ago she witnessed to two young workers at the drive-through McDonald's in the Junction. She is being buried with a Bible given to "Skipper" by those two young women thanking her.

"Those nine families have shown us how to do it. I would strongly suggest we take a cue from them."

Dylann Storm Roof, who faces murder and gun charges in the church attack, had posed in photos displaying Confederatefl ags and burning or desecrating U.S. flags, and told a friend that he was planning to do something "for the white race."

The release caused uproar among French politicians, although it didn't reveal any huge surprises or secrets.

LOS ANGELES (AP)The shutdown of a pipeline that spilled up to 101,000 gallons ofcrude on the Santa Barbara coast forced Exxon Mobil Corp. to halt operationsatthreeoffshore platformsbecause itcouldn't deliver oil to refineries, the company said Tuesday.

The company temporarily ceased operations last week because Santa Barbara County rejected its emer-

gency application to truck oil to refineries, spokesman Richard Keil said.

A Santa Barbara County oi5ciai said the company's problem did not constitute an emergency and it could go through the normal procelure, which requires extensive environmental review, to get a permit to truck the oil.

The shutdown is not expected to have an impact on oil prices, but it does harm Exxon Mobil's bottom line even though production &om the platforms is small compared to the company's overall output, said Tom Kloza, globalhead ofenergy at the Oil Price Information Service.

Proposed are two northbound lanes

and four southbound lanes, including two leftturn lanes onto Mono Way, a through lane and right-turn lane.

The road would taper back down to the exist ing four lanes about 550 feet north of the intersection, according to the plans.

A new sidewalk, curb and gutter would be constructed along the eastside of Greenley Road and continue south around the northeast corner of the intersection, with an improved turning

radius for larger vehicles.

The corner is restricted for right turns to vehicles under 40 feet in length.

This project would be the second phase of intersection improvements at GreenleyRoad and Mono Way approved by the City Council in January 2002.

The first phase, completed in early 2003, added an additional southbound lane to Greenley Road on the north side of the intersection.

Part of the second phase will require the removal of the Corner Gas minimarket building, owned by Kenneth W. Keagy, to make room for the additional lanes and turn radius.

The City of Sonora is accepting written comments through July 17 on a proposed project that would widen Greenley Road at Mono Way. Property acquisition negotiations may result in full acquisition of the property, according to the city.

Sonora Regional Medical Center is planning to build an outpatient pa-

Another way is t hrough "supply supplement projects," including new groundwater wells, new storage reser-

voirs and new water rights, according to district staff If any new project can demonstrate it has a "net zero impact" or a "positive impact" on district water supply, then that project should be considered for connection by the district Board of Directors, according to district staff Immediately following the policy vote, Kopf recused himself Rom voting on an agreement on construction and transfer of water and sewer main line extensions

In other business, Engineer Glen Nunnelley advised the board the district has about 12,000 acre-feetofwater in storage for the rest of this year and throughthe end ofFebruary 2016 in a worst case scenario.

Spill has ended at Pinecrest and Lyons reservoirs, the district's two primary storage facilities. The district has access to about8,000 acre-feet&om Pinecrest and about 4,000 acre-feet from Lyons, Nunnelley said.

"The end of February, that's an extreme," Nunnelley said. 'We do hope we get some rain and snow by the end of December. But this is what we have and this is how we plan the rest of the year, based on what we have in storage now at end-of-spill."

Spill ended at the two reservoirs around mid-June, Nunnelley said.

Near the end of Tuesday night's meeting, outgoing district General Manager Tom Scesa introduced the district's interim generalmanager David Andres.

Andres picked up on a discussion of the distri ct's budget for fiscal year 2016, which included a $303,484 shortfall on the water side.

Andres, a former general manager at Calaveras County Water District, presented a TUD rate analysis with issues to consider forraising customers'rates.

The presentation included a brief discussion of cost recovery "to establish rates to make up for a reduction in rev-

A third option Andres presented was a capitalimprovement costsapproach to raising rates, "to establish rates to pay forthe repair,replacement and upgrade of dist rictassets over $50,000."The estimated annual amount was $1.6-plus million for water and $900,000-plus for sewer.

The lawsuit has since halted construction on all but one Measure J-funded project — the humanities building.

Renovations on the building, otherwise known as phase one ofthe project,are under way and expected to be completedin August,according to Paul Bonaccorsi, WLC Archi-

tect and Contractor.

No construction is scheduled affer completion of the humanities building.

Bonaccorsi said the stall could raise overall costs of the project by as much as 7-percent and advised the board to make plans for the start of other projects.

To date, Measure J constructionis a year behind schedule.

The board was hesitant to adopt arevised schedule at Tuesday's meeting.

Superintendent Mike McCoy said the board needs to consult with th e district's attorney, bond advisor and bankers before making a decision.

The court required CASBA to amend its complaint in April. The revised argument now targets only the aquatic center, possibly allowing work to begin on the other projects originally identified in the lawsuit.

The board has tentatively planned to begin a second phase consisting of work on the Dunlavy Stadium, the track and field and cafeteria.

Leftover funds will be used to plan the final two projects — the aquatic center and Centennial Hall.

Inner Sanctum wins awards, website makeover

By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

Pete and Karen Luckhardt of Inner Sanctum Cellars in Jamestown

are having a good week.

Last week, the Luckhardts were notified by the California State Fair Commercial Wine Competition that its red Tempranillo Torro 2 won gold and bestofclassofregion in the Sierra Foothills region and its white Albarino Quixote won silver in its class.

'The Best of Class Region win is huge," said Karen Luckhardt. "It' s better than gold." ''We are so excited," she said.

Torro 2 is "very smooth," Luckhardt said.

The Albarino is a Spanish grape, which makes a "perfect summer drinking wine," Luckhardt said.

The Luckhardts said they don' t

like to pontificate about the specific qualities of their wines and prefer to hear how tasters describe them, without using fancy wine lingo.

The only bad news for local wine lovers is that the Tempranillo Torro 2 is soldout, except for five cases stored

away for wine flights next year that will feature Torro's1,2,3 and 4.

However, for people who can't wait until Torro 4 comes out next May, there is still some Torro 2 left at local restaurants, including The Rock in Twain Harte and The National Hotel in Jamestown, Karen Luckhardt said.

There is also plenty of Torro 3 in stock, but people should hurry, because "it's flying out the door," Luckhardt said Friday.

"It has an amazing smokey flavor.

The grapes sat in the Rim Hre (smoke) for 42 days," she said.

The grapes for Torro 3 were

harvested in 2013.

The winemaker for Inner Sanctum Cellars is Chuck Hovey, a well-known local winemaker. The award winning Tempranillo Torro 2 grapes were

grown by Zuni Vineyards in Sonora and harvested in 2012.

It's interesting to note that Spanish wines swept the commercial wine contest at the State Fair this year, Luckhardt said.

"Spanish wines are going to be the hit this summer," she said.

The same day Karen Luckhardt got a call from her husband, Pete, telling her they got a win at the state fair, Karen got an email &om

In planning for retirement, you have probablycrunched the value ofyour investment portfolio, the income stream from Social Security or a pension, your projected annual spending and your life expectancy.

What if you could distill all those figures into a single number that tells you whether you' re on track for a secure retirement?

Some advisers and academics say the funded ratio allows you to do just that.

To calculate this figure, you divide your totalassets — including the current value of your investment portfolio and the present value of future income such as Social Security — by the present value of your total projected retirement spending. (Present value is the value of a future sum or income stream in today'sdollars.)Ifyou arrive ata fi gure of more than 100 percent, your retirement plan is likely on sound footing.

The funded ratio "incorporates a lot of data and boils the answer down to a single stat," says Phill Rogerson, a man-

A rising or falling funded ratio can send a signal that your retirement plan is growing more secure or hurtling off a cliff To be sure, precisely calculating the present value of future income streams and total lifetime retirement spending isn't simple. You need to "discount" those future dollar amounts to reflect the time value of money — the principle that $1 in your pocket today is worth more than

Retirees should be on high alert if their funded ratio drops below about 105 percent, Rogerson says. They should cut back nonessential expenses to keep their funded ratio from dropping below 100 percent.

And what if your retirement is overfunded?With a funded ratio of125 percentormore, Rogerson says,retireesare "so well-funded, they can think about doing other things with their money," such as giving gifts to charity or leaving

According to employee Gary Burginat Sierra ¹ vada Adventure Company, which has stores in Sonora, Arnold and Murphys, the owners offer staff four sick days per year.

Market 49in downtown Angels Camp also offers its employees paid sick leave, said Tey Cross-Carpenter, one of the owners.

"It won't affect us," he said. "We already have a policy where we give our employees a better sick leave policy than the government does."

In fact, talk of the mandate has been absent at meetings and mixers at the Angels Camp Business Association, said board member Anne Forrest.

"It affects Destination Angels Camp, because we have an employee, but we just factored that in when planning the budget. It's not that big of a deal," Forrest said.

Ayala said small business owners feel that whether or not to offer paid sick leave is something employers and employees should negotiate during the hiring process.

"What would be negotiated in the workplace is being entertained in Sacramento

as being implemented into law," Ayala said.

The law applies to employees who, on or after July 1, 2015, works in California for 30 or more days within a year from the beginning of employment. Employees, including part-time and temporary employees, will earn at leastone hour of paid leave for every 30 hours worked. Accrual begins on the first day of employment or July 1, 2015, whichever is later.

Employers must do several things to comply with the H ealthy W orkplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 (AB 1522), including: • Displayposter on paid sick leave where employees can read it easily.

• Provide written notice to employees with sick leave rights at the time of hire.

• Providefor accrual of one hour for every 30 hours worked and allow use of at least 24 hours or 3 days or provideatleast24 hours or 3 days at the beginning of a 12-month periodof paid sick leave for each eligible employee to use per year.

• Allow eligible employees touseaccrued paid sick leave upon reasonable request.

• Show how many days of sick leave an employee has available. This must be on a pay stub or a document issued the same day as a paycheck.

• Keep records showing

As far as member businesses go, "I haven't heard anyone talk about it or complain about it," Forrest said.

However, some Tuolumne County business owners are less than thrilled about the legislation, said Mike Ayala, director of the Tuolumne County Chamber ofCommerce.

THE UN' DEMO CRAT

Business Home sales finally surging; here's why WASHINGTON (AP) Real estate has gotten hot again.

Home sales are on pace for their best year since 2007.

First-time buyers are streaming back into the market.

Prices are skyrocketing, aided by a stronger job market and tantalizingly low mortgage ratesthat are creating pressureforbuyers to actfast.

The resurgence is a sign that the U.S. economy — afier muddling through a sluggish, six-year recovery — has rediscovered another source of growth. Buyers are more con-

"We wanted to buy before it got too expensive where we could get what we wanted for the price we could afford," said Reynolds, 23.

Lastly, the rising prices mean that more homeowners are starting to regain the equity lost in their homes during the downturn. The number of mortgage holders owing more on their loans than their homes are worth has tumbled 19 percent in the past year to 5.1 million — or 10.2 percent ofallm ortgaged properties, according

The bulk of the event will be interact ivein a questionand-answer format, he said.

The panel of law enforcement will include Tuolumne County District Attorney Laura Krieg, Rob Lyons of the TuolumneCounty Sheriff's Office and Sonora Police Department i n vestigator Ibrahim Kahlil.

The panel will discuss with the audience things like what a business owner or employee of a business should do if someone is trying to steal or does steal from the store, Adcox said.

The panel will discuss merchant rights as well as shoplifters' rights, Adcox said.

Those attending the symposium will gain insight on how to protect themselves and their assets, Adcox said.

The panel will discussreal life situations with audience members and answer vital questions such as, if someone is concealing items they plan on stealing, do you approach them?

Things like proper placement of cash registers and merchandise also will be discussed.

Law enforcement experts will touch on subjects including fraudulent cash or checks and the process a suspected shoplifter goes through in the justice system.

Shoplifbng happens every day of the week, said Sonora Police Chief Mark Stinson.

Sonora Police Department investigator Ibrahim Kahlil will talk about how to safeguard merchandise inside a business and what business owners or employees can if they observe a theft, Stinson said.

If someone is handed a counterfeit bill, they should "go ahead and retain those bills and contact us immediately," Stinson said.

The symposium isn't just gearedto"brick and mortar" stores, but also places like hotels and other businesses where theft can happen, Ad-

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

Elderly dad advised to stop tipping bank tellers DEAR ANNIE: My father is starting to have trouble managing his banking. He has a decent fixed income, but somehow, he is now living from one check to the next and he's getting costly overdrawn notices. I have started to write out his bills, and I try to keep his checkbook balanced.

Last week, I went to the bank with him for the first time. He could not remember his account number. He knew nothing about how much was in his account and it was obvious that thetellerswere awareof this. They called him by name, trying to help him.

When he finished his depositing a check, he tipped the teller $30. He said he tips them all the time because they help him. Annie, I know he makes withdrawals every Friday to "make it through the weekend," but I didn't realize he was tipping the tellers.

Is this permitted? I had no idea tellers could accept tips. My father doesn' t

Annie's

I Mailbox have agreat deal of money and my brother and I often help him out so he can balance his checkbook. How should we handle this? — SENIOR BANKING ISSUES DEAR BANKING: We don't know what bank your father patronizes, but every bank we checked said that tipping is absolutely not permitted.

Your father obviously has some memory issuesand unless the bank tellers are depositing those tips back intoDad's account, they are taking advantage of him. Complain to their supervisors. And if Dad is living check-to-check, it sounds as though it is time for someone else to manage his banking.

Discuss this with your brother, so there are no arguments, and then approach Dad, explaining that you want to be sure his money lasts. Make him a part of the process. It would be best if you could limit how often he goes to the bank, so have his checks deposited automatically and give him a weekly allowance in cash.

We know it'sextra work for you, but this is what responsible, caring children do for their parents.

Dad should be evaluated by his physician for signs of dementia, and if he is living alone, you might start looking into retirement communities that will provide a safe environment, aswell as companionship, conversation and community.

DEAR ANNK: I r e ad the responses to "Expecting," who was asked thoughtless and intrusive questions

about her pregnancy.

I once asked a friend something unintentionally rude and he responded to me by asking, '%hat did you say?"

I repeated my question and he again asked, '%hat did you say?" It took a third time before I caught on that he wasn't hard of hearing. I actually appreciated the polite comeuppance and got a good laugh out of it. That kind of responsewould reallypullaperson up short if they asked something that was none of their business.— NZL DEAR NJV.: Thanks for providing a polite but effective way to avoid answering personal, intrusive questions.

TOday in hiStOry Today is Wednesday, June 24, the 175th day of 2015. There are 190 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On June 24, 1975, 113 people were killed when Eastern Airlines Flight 66, a Boeing 727 carrying 124 people, crashed while attempting to land during a thunderstorm at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

On this date: In 1880, "0 Canada," the future Canadian national anthem, was first performed in Quebec City.

In 1908, Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, died in Princeton, New Jersey, at age 71.

In 1939, the Southeast Asian country Siam changed its name to Thailand. (It went back to being Siam in 1945, then became Thailand once again in 1949.)

In 1948, Communist forces cut off all land and water routes between West Germany and West Berlin, prompting the western allies to organize the Berlin Airlift.

In 1968, "Resurrection City," a shantytown constructed as part of the Poor People's March on Washington D.C., was closed down by authorities.

In 1983, the space shuttle Challenger - carrying America's first woman in space, Sally K. Ridecoasted to a safe landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

In 1985, a federal judge in New York found former Wall Street Journal reporter R. Foster Winans guilty of illegally using his position at the paper in a get-rich-quick insidertrading scheme. (Winans served eight months in federal prison.)

BIIDG at home requires attention. Don't let it destroy your domestic tranquility. Your input is pivotal. Make sure the pieces fit. Others can help. Present your case tactfully.

Manage tasks. Discover something of value.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today is a 9 — Check for work changes and stay in communication. You' re gaining benefits. Something doesn't go as planned. Learn new skills from friends. Invite the gang over to your house.

Provide a feast and gather their valuable insights. Enjoy a charming gathering.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Today is a 7 — Inhibit your natural generosity. Work smarter to boost profits. Emotional creativity works. Pull strings for the best deal. Create a buzz without spending a lot. Your connections have what you need. Put people together to get the job done.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is an 8 — Household issues take a new tack. Don't get sidetracked. Discipline at home handles a big job. Experience confrontation calmly. Listen to all their considerations. This is the test.

Prepare for an inspection without spending a fortune.

Capricorn (Dec. 224an. 19): Today is an 8 — Postpone travel or big actions. Unexpected changes require rescheduling. Don't spend before the check clears. Stick to facts. Assumptions prove false. All isn't as it appears.

Talk with friends snd family. Communication unlocks new possibilities.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is a 9 — The gears begin to turn on a new project. It pays to advertise. Add an artistic touch to the presentation. Friends can connect you with someone who can contribute. Social gatherings provide more benefits than fun. Venture forth and play.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 7 — Things are in a state of flux. Watch for a pop quiz. Grace under pressure serves you. Stay respectful. It could get awkward.

Your partner can help. You may have to break eggs to make an omelet. Clean up after.

Can you find the play quickly?

4954 Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman statesman, East lawyer, scholar, poet, philosopher and orator who d ied in 63 B.C., said, "A tear dries quickly when it 4 6 3 4A52 is shed for troubles of others."

V9742 V10 3 I wonder If he owned a pet crocodile.

I Q J 10 9 5 0 874 2 I n today's deal, each side might shed crocodile y q 8 4A762 tears for the other side, depending upon how the South play proceeds. South is in four spades. After West 4 Q1094 leadshis diamond queen,what should happen?

V 865 Note that North's jump to four spades is not, I KS per se, a signoff. The higher North raises spades, the stronger his hand. If South can envision a slam, he may proceed higher.

Dealer: North Declarer seems to have only three losers: one Vulnerable: Both spade and two clubs. He would probably take the South West N orth E a st first trick with dummy's diamond ace and lead a 14 Pas s trump. Now the spotlight falls on East. He knows 14 Pass 44 All P a ss that South has the diamond king, so the defenders are getting no red-suit tricks. East needs his Openinglead:I Q partner to have something useful in clubs.

East, sine mora (without delay), must win with his spade ace and shift to the club two, his low card guaranteeing at least one honor in the suit.

Now South is center stage. If he guesses to put up his club king, he can collect an overtrick. (He draws trumps, cashes his red-suit winners, then leads a club to endplay West, who must concede a ruff-and-sluff.) But if South finesses his club jack, West wins with his queen and returns his second club. East takes that trick and leads the suit for s third time, West's ruff being the fourth defensive trick.

Who knows what South will do?

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 POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Josh Phegley homered and had a two-run double, Ben Zobrist also went deep and the Oakland Athletics beat Texas 8-6 in a series opener Tuesday night.

Phegley scored on i Marcus Semien's RBI single to put the A's ahead to stay.

Oakland is 18-11 since being 16 games under .500 on May 22.

Coaching is in Greg Smith's blood.

Smith, the grandson of the legendary late Bud Castle, is the new head coach of the Summerville High School girls' varsity basketball team.

Smith not only learned the game from his grandfather, but he played and later coached with Rick Francis and coached alongside Columbia Claim Jumpers head coach Rob Hoyt.

"I got to play for Rick, and then coach under him as a freshman coach at Sonora," Smith said. "I got to work with him at Columbia and we have a great relationship. He will text me and make fun of me and will joke with me. I'm really luckytohave played for him and have him as a role model. We had so much fun working with Rob over the past three years at Columbia."

"I'm really excited for him because this is something that he really wants

to do," Hoyt said. sHe gets to go and do

his own thing and I get to watch him because it's local and that's going to be fun for me. I'm happy to see him go do good things, but I know that my program is going to take a hit by not having him around. But, that's the nature of it. I don't know if I was able to help him, but he sure was able to help me."

The Sonora High Gymnasium is named after Castle, and for Smith, his grandfather was the one who provided him with the passion he has for basketball.

"He was my hero growing up and I love basketball because of him," Smith said. "He coached me as a kid and took me down to the gym and worked on my shot just the two of us. Along with my wife, Lauren, he is the person that has had the greatest impact on me in my life. The two of them remain the biggest

reasons why it is so important for me to do a good job at anything I do. Making them proud of me has always been my greatestmotivation."

Smith,a 2001 Sonora High graduate, began his coaching career in 2002 as an assistant to now head varsity coach of the Sonora Wildcats, Dan Dona. He became the head freshman boys' coach in 2004 and held the title until 2011.

Smith attended California State University, Stanislaus and graduated

with a degree in Business and a teaching credential in English and Social Science. He was hired at Summerville as a teacher in 2010, and taught Englishexclusively forhisfi rstthreeyears.

Currently, he teaches AP History, Government, Economics and Media and Technology. Having Smith on campus and around students is a benefit for the program.

The May 2 swim was the first of the season for TCAM swimmer, Patti Philpott, 45. Even with small craft advisory warnings, Philpott raced around the triangularcourse in 30:34 and finished second in the 45-49 division.

At the Springlake Swim on May 16, Joan Turner, 53, was the lone representative from TCAM. Turner had smooth water for her wave start on the one-mile course. She swam a 33:13.40 to place ninth in the 50-54 division.

Turner was joined by Eric Roberson, 40, for the 33rd annual Berryessa Swim.

Rapinoe, Holiday out for quarters EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — The United States has made it through to the quarterfinals at the Women's World Cup but not unscathed.

The Americans will have to face China without two key contributors.

Midfielders Lauren Holiday and Megan Rapinoe won't be able Ptt ~s® to play because of accumulated yellow cards. Both received their second yellows in Monday night' s 2-0 victory over upstart Colombia in the round of 16.

It's a blow to the United States, which has struggled to find its offense during the tournament. Rapinoe has been one of the most creative and dangerous players for the Americans, while Holiday has been steady and dependable.

"Obviously we' ve got some decisions to make but I think we' ve invested in players significantly over the past six

months and we' ve dealt with injuries," coach Jill Ellis said.

"So I feel very confident in the players we have to be able to come in and contribute. And I See SOCCER/Page C3

'To be honest, that was my favoriteyear ofcoaching basketball and that is why I'm so excited about this opportunity," Smith said. "I love girls basketball and sometimes they don't always get the best coaches, so I'm excited to put all I can into it to make sure our program ends up really successfuland these girls get a lot out of playing ball for us."

For Smith, there is only one glaring difference between girls and boys basketball players.

Virginia's 3-0 winover Vandy forces Game3 OMAHA, Neb. — Surprise starter Adam Haseley and Josh Sborz combined on the shutout, senior utility man Thomas Woodruff drove in two runs, and the Cavaliersdefeated Vanderbilt 3-0 on Tuesday night to force a winner-take-all game in the College World Series.

For the second year in a row, these two teams will go the distance in the best-of-three finals. Vanderbilt (51-20) will be playingfor a second straight national title on Wednesday.

Virginia (43-24) will be looking for its first.

Haseley, the C avaliers' regular center fielder, hadn' t pitched since May 23. The &eshman gave coach Brian O' Connor all he could have hoped for, working into the sixth inning for his longest outing and turning over a scoreless game to Sborz (7-2).

Sborz, who picked up his third career win in the CWS, hasn't allowed an earned run in 27 consecutive innings.

He was tested Tuesday, with Vanderbilt getting its leadoff batter on base in the fifth, sixth, seventh and ninth inIllilgs.

The ninth was especiaHy tense for Sborz after Bryan Reynolds singled and Will Toffey walked. But Sborz struck out Jeren Kendall, got Karl Ellison to fly out and struck out Nolan Rogers to end the game.

know they' re going to beconfi dent to be able to step up and help us advance."

Rapinoe said she felt her caution in the 41st came as the resultof a series ofcalls.

Holiday was carded in the 17th minute.

"I guess you could say I accumulated all those fouls so that's worth the yellow card.

But (Holiday) got the yellow card on her very first foul of the game so I didn't think that was that fair," Rapinoe said.

Ellis said after the game that Morgan Brian is likely to take Holiday' s spot at center with Carli Lloyd. At 22, Brian is the youngest player on the team. Rapinoe suggested that Christen Press would likely step into her spot.

The United States has won the World Cup twice, but not since 1999. The second-ranked Americans are among the favorites in Canada, along with top-ranked Germany and third-ranked France.

The U.S. will play No. 16 China on Friday night in Ottawa. The winner of that game will go on to face the winner

of the Friday quarterfinal between Germany and France in Montreal.

Abby Wambach, who missed a penalty kick in the match against Colombia, was asked after the match whether the yellow cards for Rapinoe and Holiday were deserved.

"I don't know," Wambach said. 'That's definitely a great question. I don't know if they were yellows. It seemed like she (the referee) was purposefully giving those yellows to maybe players that she knew were sitting on yeHows. I don' t know if that was just a psychological thing, who knows. Who knows,"Wambach said.

Those comments concern-

ing French referee Stephanie Frappart could merit discipline by FIFA, soccer's international governing body. Canadian striker Christine Sinclair made comments about the officiating following her team's

loss to the United States at the London Olympics and she was later suspended for four matches for unsportsmanlike behavior.

FIFA did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Tuesday.

The tournament's rules statethat playerswho receive two yellow cards in two different matches before the semifinals will be suspended for their team's following game. Single yellow cards are canceled after

the quartos to ensure no

players miss the final because of a caution in the semis.

Klinsmann picksWorld Cup vets for GoldCup CHICAGO (AP) — The U.S. roster for next month's CONCACAF Gold Cup will look a lot like the American team at

last year's World Cup. U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann selected 17 of the 23 players he took to Brazil last year, adding goalkeeper William Yarbrough; defenders Ventura Alvarado, Brad Evans and Tim Ream; and midfielders Al&edo Morales and Gyasi Zardes.

They replace goalkeeper Tim Howard; defenders DaMarcus Beasley, Matt Besler and Geoff Cameron; and midfielders Julian Green and Jermaine Jones. Howard has taken a year off &om the national team following the World Cup; Jones had surgery June 12 for a sports hernia. U.S. captain Clint Dempsey remained on the roster after being given a three-game suspension last week by Major League Soccer for refere: abuse.
