School enrollment down

The Union Democrat

District officials say Mother Lode schools have adapted to lower enrollment as this 10000 y ear's head-count began this week i n Calaveras County.

Tuolumne County last year lost 114 students in grades K-12, bringing enrollment down to6,122 from 6,236 in 2013-14.

8000 Calaveras County mirrored the drop and lost 80 students for a total enrollment of 5,757in 2014-15, according to numbers from the California Department of Education.

K-12 enrollment in both counties has 6000 trended downward over the past 15 years from about 8,000 students in the mid1990s. The sharpest drop happened just after the recession in 2008. Between 2007 and 2010, Tuolumne County lost 1,033 stu4000 dents — more decline than the county saw

during the previous 10 years.

The decline has leveled out in recent years, but school officials from both counties approach the 2015-16 year with different opinions about the figures, which play a role in how districts receive state funding.

Districts get state funding based on the number of students who enroll and attend, meaning the more students who regularly attend class, the more money afforded to the school from the state.

"By and large I don't see declining enrollment, I see flat enrollment," said Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Margie Bulkin.

Enrollment in the county has hovered just above 6,000 students over the past five years, a number that Bulkin said districts

have adapted to, meaning fewer staffi ng and program cuts.

"Schools have learned to match their resources to the number of students they serve and the funding received," she said.

For the coming year, low enrollment doesn' t pose a threat to funding in Tuolumne County, according to Tami Ethier, assistant superin-

administrators and three classified employees, said Campbell.

Another possible sign of fiscal confidence came in June when the Board of Trustees passed a three-year ban on the closure of Rail Road Flat, West Point and Mokelumne Hill elementary schools. The three schools have been on the chopping block multiple times in the past because of low enrollment.

The district's first day of school was Monday, and an early count showed 124 fewer

According to Campbell, this number takes a few days to "geta good handle on," and he expects it to drop by 30 to 40 students who may be havebeen absent because of camps and vacation.

The distr ict projected a loss of79 students in the 2015-16 budget.

Campbell said any amount of students abovethe estimate puts the district at some risk, when 30 fewer students equates to an

$80,000 less than the estimated budget.

For Tuolumne County, Bulkin said the County Schools Office heard similar reasons for families leaving at the height of the fiscal crisis in 2010-11, but hears less of it now.

Official enrollment numbers will be reported bythe districtsdirectly tothestatein early October.

Until then, school administrators will take unofficial counts as schools open for the new year in late August.

Laura Bush attends ceremony in Yosemite Union Democrat stag

Former First Lady Laura Bush, wife of 43rd president George W. Bush, attended a ceremony Tuesday in Yosemite National Park commemorating the 100th anniversary since the original dedication of Tioga Road.

The 46-mile road in the northern portion of the park is the highest road crossingin the Sierra at 9,945 feet above sea level. Stephen Mather, who later became the first director of the National Park Service, formally dedicatedthe opening ofthe road on July 28, 1915.

"The rededication of Tioga Road reminds us of the importance of protecting remarkable places like Yosemite's high country and of the need to encourage future generations to visitour parks so they are inspired to bestewards ofnaturallands, "said

Yosemite Superintendent Don Neubacher.

Mather and some of his friends purchased Tioga Road for $15,000 and donateditto the federal government so it could be repaired and opened to the public. The route previously was a private toll-road through the park.

Some of the sights along the road include Tuolumne Meadows, Tenaya Lake and trails leading to the park's backcountry.

"Even before Congress created the National Park Service in 1916, philanthropists helped to create our stunning national parks," said Frank Dean, president of Yosemite Conservancy. "Their commitment remains just as deep today among individuals,families,foundations and corporations."

The conservancy's donors have

helped torestore famous overlooks along Tioga Road, including Tunnel View, Glacier Point and Olmsted Point.

Highlights of Tuesday's "rededication" ceremony included a rechristening of the road and a ceremonial ribbon cutting, according to the park.

Bush participated in the ceremony with Neubacher and Yosemite Conservancy vice president Jerry Edelbrock.

Bush requested that the event be closedtothemedia, Yosemite spokesman Scott Gediman said.

"I' ve loved our parks for many years and hiked in parks all over the country accompanied by my friends," the former First Lady said in a press Al Golub, Yosemite ConservancyI Courtesy photo release Tuesday.

Having decided that Donald Trump is unworthy of his popularity, the grandees of journalism are hard-pressed to explain why he is so popular.

"It came slightly ahead of schedule," The Wall Street Journal gleefully wrote last week, "but Donald Trump's inevitable self-immolation arrived on the weekend when he assailed John McCain's war record."

Uh. Hold the fire extinguishers — because Rogt.'I' p dd not burst into flame.

His poll numbers a c tually went up after he attacked McCain, a man whose political base is largely made up of Sunday TV show hookers.

The Hu%ngton Post was also in a snit. It declared it was not going to report on Trump's campaign in its political section but rather going to include it in its entertainment section. ~p 's c ampaign is a sideshow," HuffPost sniffed. ''We won't take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you il find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette."

In any case, the American electorate has thus far decided that the difference between politics and entertaument is too fine a line actually to be drawn and is unconcerned as to where The HufFmgton Post stufFs what.

But The Des Moines Register nearly came down with the vapors. "By using his considerable wealth, his celebrity status, and his mouth to draw attention to himself, rather than to raise awareness of the issues facing America,he hascoarsened our politicaldialogue and cheapened the electoral process," it wrote of Trump.

The paper went so far as to demand that Trump drop out of the race, a decision, I always thought, the American people should make at the ballot box rather than a newspaper on its editorial page.

RealClearPolitics' polling shows Trump leading the Republican field by 4.5 percentage points. He is at 18.2 percent. Jeb Bush is at 13.7 percent, and Scott Walker is at 11.7. Everybody else is in single digits.

So Trump is not doing too badly for "a sideshow." In fact, he is beating the guys in the center ring.

And they have taken a close look at him and decided the only way to vanquish him is to become more incendiary and more bufFoonish than he is.

So Mike Huckabee says Barack Obama wants to take the Israelis and "march them to the door of the oven" with his Iran deal.

(Will HuffPost banish Huckabee to its "Stuff' That Makes Us Want To Vomit" section? Let's wait and see.)

Rand Paul — remember him? — brandished an actual chain saw.

Lindsey Graham bashed his cellphone with a baseball bat and dropped it into a blender. And Rick Perry said, 'Trump's candidacy is a cancer on conservatism, and it m ust be clearly diagnosed,excised and discarded."

This is the dignity The Wall Street Journal yearns for.

Can we be honest about illegal immigration?

It is a common challenge to almost every advanced Western country that is adjacentto poorernations.

American employers and ethnic activists have long colluded to weaken border enforcement and render immigration law meaningless. The former wanted greater profitsfrom cheaper labor,the latter wished more political clout for themselves.

Mexico conspired, too. It received billions of easy dollars in remittances from its expatriates in America. Mexico had few qualms about letting millions of its own citizens illegally cross its northern border into the United States — even though the Mexican government would never tolerate millions of Central Americans illegally crossing the border to become permanent residentsofM exico.

For better or worse, illegal immigration is tied to race and ethnicity. No doubt, ignorant racism drives some to oppose illegal immigration. But by the same token, the advocates of open borders, many of them with strong ties to Mexico, would not be so energized about the issue if hundreds of thousands of Europeans or Africans were entering the U.S. illegally each year.

There is too often a surreal disconnect about the perception of the U.S. in the immigration debate.

Millions, we sometimes forget, are fleeing from the authoritarianism, racism,

There are at least two reasons for Trump's current pop-

corruptionand class oppression of Mexico.

ularity. Though the high priests of the press find Trump oafish and vulgar, the public finds him unscripted and refreshing.

Some voters may also like Trump for his rabble-rousing attacks on immigrants who are here illegally — "people that are from all over that are killers and rapists" — but the Republican Party can hardly pretend to be much less incendiary.

Trump goes overboard, butmany in the Republican field are not far behind him.

Maybe if the press ignored Trump, he and his supporters would simply evaporate.

"This is the strongest field of Republican candidates in 35 years," Charles Krauthammer said on Fox News Channel.

"You could pick a dozen ofthem atrandom and have the strongest Cabinet America's had in our lifetime, and instead, all our time is spent discussing this rodeo clown."

(Actually, I think you could pick a dozen of the Republican contenders at random and have an FBI "most wanted" poster, but that's another story.)

But what is the real problem, the rodeo clown or the people coming to the rodeo in order to see the clown? And if the people are gathering, should the press keep that a secret?

"I have always felt that whatever the Divine Providencepermitted to occur Iwa s nottoo proud to report," Charles Anderson Dana, a 19th-century newspaper editor, once said.

Some look at Trump and see an evil clown.

Others look at Trump and see a candidate not part of the same weary political establishment.

I think Trump is flawed on many counts. But I don' t think he has "coarsened our political dialogue and cheapenedtheelectoralprocess."

I think it was coarse and cheap by the time Trump got here.

GUEST COLUMN: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

U.S. needs sensible approachto issue

They have voted with their feet to reject that model and to choose a completely different — and often antithetical — economic, social, cultural and political paradigm in the United States. Somehow that bothersome fact is lost in the habitual criticism of a hospitable and magnanimous America.

Then there is the matter of law. America went to war over the Confederate states'

nullification of federal laws. A century and a half later, do we really want hundreds of sanctuary cities, each declaring irrelevant certain federal laws that they find bothersome?

For every leftwing city that declares immigration statutes inoperative, a rightwing counterpart might do the same with the Endangered Species Act, gun registration laws, afnrmative action or gay marriage. The result would be chaos and anarchy, not compassion.

Controversy has arisen over the number ofundocumented immigrants who have committed felonies or serious misdemeanors, such as the Mexican national — a repeat felon and deportee — recently charged with the fatal shooting of a young woman in San Francisco. But the furor begs the question: Why would any guest violate the rules of his host? And why is the data on such violations so hard to come by and so prone to controversy?

Either the number of undocumented immigrants who commit crimes is so vast that no one knows the extent of the problem, or there are political hurdles in determining that number — or drawing politically incorrect conclusions from it.

We should not minimize criminality.

Creating a false identity, using a fraudulent Social Security number and knowingly fi ling inaccurate federalforms are serious felonies for most Americans. They are neither minor infractions nor simply the innocuous wages of living in the shadows, but undermine the sinews of a society.

Numbers also count. When millions come to a country illegally, integration breaks down and tribalism takes over. Do

we really want permanent Balkanized ethnic lobbies, frozen in amber — another century of a monolithic Asian, white or Latino vote? Are Americans to fragment even more, as they collectively sigh, "If they vote predictably along ethnic lines, I guess I should, too''?

President Obama talks grandly of "immigration reform." But he apparently does not mean what most Americans would assume from that faddish catchphrase.

Reform should first include strict enforcement of the border. A new, ethnically blind immigration system would select from among applicants based on skill sets and education, and consider candidates from all over the world — not on the basis of ethnic identity or proximity to the border.

Immediate and lasting deportation would ensue for those who committed crimes or cynically chose to receive public assistance rather than work while here illegally.

Many Americans are in favor of offering a path to legal residence to those undocumented immigrants who have long lived and workedin the U.S. and have crimefree records — after they pay a fine for breaking federal law and then wait patiently in line while the legal process plays out — aslong as the border is sealed to prevent future illegal immigration.

If some newly legal residents wished to become full-fledged citizens, then they could pass citizenship and English tests and assimilate into the American body politic.

Somehow I doubt that this fair, reasonableprocess is what the president really wants.

Guard usesdrone to Average USvehicle search for teacher age hits 11.5 years SAN FRANCISCO — The California National Guard is using a drone to search El Dorado National Forest for a missing San Francisco teacher, marking the first time the Guard has used a drone for a search-and-rescue mission.

The drone will collect images in real time, allowing searchers on the ground to make faster, more informed decisions about where to concentrate their efforts, said Capt. Will Martin, a spokesman for the California Guard.

The Guard has previously used the drone to support firefighting efforts in 2013 at Yosemite National Park.

"Forthe purpose of collecting imagery, it's unrivaled," Martin said of drone technology.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Minnesota dentist who has become thetarget ofworldwide outrage for hunting and killing a protected lion in Zimbabwe advised patients Wednesday to seek care elsewhere and said he rarely discussed his big-game hunting because it can be a "divisive and emotionally charged topic."

Walter James Palmer remained secluded in the face of protests at his suburban Mnneapolis clinic and intense condemnation online. He has not appeared in public since being identified Tuesday as a party to the lion's death.

Palmer, whose practice offers general and cosmetic dentistry, is an active biggame hunter, with many kills to his name, some of them registered with hunting clubs.

SANTA CRUZ (AP) Prosecutors

c h a r ge d a

15-year-old boy with murder, kidnapping and rape Wednesday in the death of an 8-year-old girl in an artists complex in a California beach town.

Police say Adrian Jerry Gonzalez lured M adyson Middleton into his family' s apartment &om a courtyard where she had been riding her scooter over the week-

end. Once inside, he tied her up, sexually assaulted and killed her, according a charging document.

Gonzalez remains in custody at the Santa Cruz County juvenile detention center, where he has been held since the girl's body was found in a recycling bin Monday evening.

"Unfortunately, the search for Maddy ended in the worst way possible," Santa Cruz District A ttorney JefFrey Rosell said.

He said Gonzalez will be charged as an adult and added that in his two decades in Santa Cruz, he's never seen a 15-year-old charged with murder.

The charges could send Gonzalez to prison for the rest of his life.

LarryBiggam oftheSanta Cruz public defender's offi ce saidhe expectstobe appointed as the teen's lawyer at the arraignment Thursday, but he declined to comment on the case.

Authorities haven't been able to establish a motive in the killing. "People do things forlotsofreasons,sometimes

we understand it, sometimes

we don' t," Rosell said.

Neighbors at the Tannery Arts Center where both the suspect and Madyson lived said they were stunned by the death. The center is a public-private nonprofit that includes 100 affordable loft apartmentsfor artists and their families. About 250 people live in the complex, including about 50 children.

"It's a g r eat community

because it's a bit unusual," Geof&ey Nelson, a photographer and Tannery resident, said. "You share the joys of people, their children growing up. Their art shows, their recitals. But you also share the sorrows."

Nelson said he's known Gonzalezfor several years and described him as shy,

though they often chatted.

"He was a yo-yo-expert, so he was oftentimes showing you tricks," Nelson said.

Residents have been heartbroken to learn that he is suspected in the death, he said.

"It wasn't somebody &om the outside," Nelson said. "It was somebody we all knew.

It was someone we all knew and liked."

Setorro Garcia, a Tannery resident who knew both the victim and suspect, said Gonzalez had been curious about the investigation.

"He kept asking, 'Any updates? Garcia said.

Another resident, Kirby Scudder, described Madyson as a typical 8-year-old, alternately shy and gregarious.

Taliban leader dead over 2 years ago KABUL, Afg h anistan Afghanistan asserted Wednesday that the Taliban's reclusive leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, died more than two years ago in a Pakistani hospital — an announcement that injects new uncertainty into the country' s

fragile peace process.

If confirmed, the surprising news of the death of Mullah Omar would remove a unifying figure for the insurgents, who are believed to be split on whether to continue the war or negotiate with the government of President Ashraf Ghani.

In Washington, the U.S. government said t hey con-

sideredthe reportoftheTaliban leader's death credible, though it was not confirmed by the Taliban or Pakistan.

The Afghan government's announcement came just two days before a second round of peace talks between the government and negotiators claiming to speak for the Taliban leadership. It also raises questions about the author-

ity of Taliban representatives who attended a fi rstround of talks in Pakistan on July 7, as well as earlier informal meetings in Qatar and Norway.

CINCINNATI (AP) — A University of Cincinnati officer who shot a m otorist

during a traffic stop over a missing front license plate was indicted Wednesday on a murder charge, with a prosecutor saying the officer "purposely killed him" and "should never have been a police officer."

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced the grand jury indictment at a news conference to dis-

cuss developments in the investigation into the July 19 shooting of 43-year-old motorist Samuel DuBose by Officer Ray Tensing.

Authorities have s aid Tensing spotted a car driven

by DuBose and missing the &ont license plate, which is requiredby Ohio law. They say Tensing stopped the car and a struggle ensued after DuBose refused to provide a driver's license and get out of the car.

Tensing, 25, has said he was dragged by the car and forced to shoot at DuBose.

He fired once, striking DuBose in the head.

But Deters d ismissed Tensing's claim that he was dragged by the car and suggested that he shouldn' t have pulled DuBose over to begin with.

The University of Cincinnati said it fired Tensing after his indictment.

that promised to use Congress' upcoming August recess to pressure House Republicans to support it — a period Republican leaders had hoped to use to build unified opposition to President Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran.

As with the incidents involving Cruz and Lee, the episode underscores the divisions and discontent within a fractured GOP that's struggled all year to balance its promises of good governance with the demands of frustrated activists clamoring for action to thwart Obama.

Democrats haven't escaped their own intramural disputes this year, particularly when a major trade bill divided Obama from most of his allies on Capitol Hill. And they are clearly enjoying the GOP discomfort.

The fire was first reported at 10:31 a.m. Tuesday in the Rosasco Meadow area about a half-mile north of Forest Service Road 3N01 and west of Jawbone Creek, Forest Service officials said. The crew of Forest Service contractHelicopter 517 and a contingent of firefighters on the ground were dispatched. They were not able to find the fire from the air or the ground.

Then at 2:30 p.m., smoke from the fire was visible to lookout staff on both Smith Peak and Pilot Peak, and dispatchers ordered "a full wildland response" that included two tanker planes, a lead plane, a helicopter, six

engine crews, a water tank t ruck

and a bulldozer crew.

An initial report from Helicopter 517 indicated the fire was burning in grass and brush, with no information reported on flame lengths, Forest Service officials said.

Helicopter517 was released because of unspecified mechanical issues before doing any water drops.

The crew of Cal Fire Helicopter 404 was dispatchedin 517's place,and they made five bucket drops on the fire. Cal Fire pilots in Tanker 82 and Tanker 83,twin-engine Grumman S-2Tsthatcan carry up to 1,200 gallons of retardant each, made three drops apiece.

As of Wednesday afternoon, there were 25 personnel assigned to the fire including a Hotshot crew with 20 firefighters, one engine crew, and one water tank truck crew, Forest Serviceofficials said.There were no closures in effect due to the incident.

There are countless success stories of animals finding homes who were in difficult situationsbefore being rescued, Mathews said.

Over the course of 14 years, Mathews has worked like a dog to build a network of foster families and volunteers in the community who help raisefunds and fi nd permanent homes for thousands of animals.

In 2014, FOAC had rehomed 3,000 dogs and cats and is on track to reach 4,000 by the end of 2015.

Mathews was the catalyst for that, Boyd said.

"She's pretty special, and she has alot of really good people behind her," Boyd said.

Mathews grew up one of four children in Las Vegas — her mother a housewife and her father a policeman.

Both parents shared a love of animals, and Mathews' father often brought home injured animals he encountered while patrolling Las Vegas. Young Darlene inherited the love of animals and, when she started a paper route at age 9, she and her &iends would bring home animals they found along their routes.

Mathews is petite and bursts with positive energy. She's constantly on her smartphone, networking with fosters,potential adopters, donors, and families trying to find homes for animals whose owners died, etc.

"Usually my sleeping hours are the ones I'm not working," she said with a laugh.

Her husband enjoys when they go to Pinecrest, because her phone doesn't work there.

But FOAC has such a great network of volunteers that Mathews does give herself a break sometimes, she said.

Mathews said she was fortunate to have a husband who worked so she was able to retire and take on FOAC full time, although she still substitutes for dental hygienists who go on vacation or maternity leave.

WASHINGTON (AP) — W h en President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law on July 30, 1965, roughly half of Americans 65 and older had no health insurance.

"No longer will older Americans be denied the healing miracle of modern medicine," Johnson said at the bill signing. "No longer will illness

crush and destroy the savings that theyhave so carefully put away over a lifetime so that they might enjoy dignity in their later years. No longer will young families see their own incomes, and their own hopes, eaten away simplybecause they are carrying out their deep moral obligations to their parents, and to their uncles, and their aunts."

Bfty years later, virtually all seniors have coverage, a far higher rate than younger people.

Meds in childhood can lead to obesity On March 31, 1973, Muhammad Ali lost more than just a fight with Ken Norton.

Ali fought 10 rounds with a broken jaw! Today, research shows that the average kid in the U.S. has gone through 10 roundsofantibioticsby the age of 10 — and that's a losing battle, too!

Scientists from New York Umversity Langone Mechcal Center have extended their lab-based investigation of the impact of frequently used childhood antibiotics (amoxicillin and a class of antibiotics called macrolides). Turns out these antibiotics are linked to immune problems and alternations in bone development if more than two rounds are taken — especially between birth and age 2. They also suggest that exposure to antibiotics early in life upsets a child's gut bacteria balance and permanentlyreprograms the body'smetabolism, setting up a predisposition for obesity!

So, Mom and Dad, where does that leave you? You want to help your kids overcome ear infec tions and other bacterial assaults, but you and your doctor need to discuss the risks and benefits of antibiotic prescriptions for your child. And when antibiotics are truly needed (they're life-savers!) you want to help your child restore his or her gut biome. Feed them fiberrich veggies and 100 percent whole grains, probiotic foods like yogurt and kefir, and, if your doc says OK, a low-dose lactobacillus probiotic. We believe the obesity epidemic may turn out to be related to a combinationof factors,

grams remains doudy. A mix of tax increases,

benefit cuts, and reductions in payments to service providerswillbeneeded sooner orlater, experts say. The longer policymakers wait, the more wrenching the changes.

Today, Mehcare and Medicaid together cover about 1 in 3 Americans. Here's a look at the programs, then and now: Then: In 1965, life expectancy at age 65 was 13.5 years for men, and 18 years for women.

That's using Social Security data for "cohort life expectancy," which takes into account improvements in survival during the later years

of life.

After Medicare's enactment, Social Security offices around the country signed up 19 millionpeopleforcoverage eff ective July 1,1966.

Now: In 2015, life expectancy at age 65 has risento19.3 yearsforme n and 21.6 yearsfor women.

Nearly 56 million seniors and disabled people of any age are enrolled in Medicare. Even with the World War II generation passing away, total enrollment is rising by more than 2million people ayearasbabyboomers reach 65 and qualify.

Then: Segregated hospitals and nursing homes were common, particularly in the South.

Now: Although racial and ethnic health disparities persist, segregated facilities are unheard of As a condition of receiving Medicare and Medicaid payments, hospitals and nursing homes have to assure the government that they don't discrimmate, or they can't be paid. Hospital desegregation proved much less divisive than integration of public schools.

Then: Medicaid eligibility was tied to receiving government welfare checks. Many poor children were uninsured.

Now: The welfare reform law of the 1990s, and coverage expansions for children that pr~ ceded it, broke the link between Medicaid and welfare.

In some states, Medicaid's coverage for children reaches up into the middle class. About 1 in 3 chil dren, regardless of income, are covered by Medicaid, says the Kaiser Family Foundation. Among poor children, that rises to 3 out of 4.

President Barack Obama's health care law expanded Medicaid to cover low-income, working-age adults with no children living at home, a major group that had been left out by safety-net programs. The expansion is optional for states, and 30 states plus Washington, D.C., have eitheraccepted itorproposed todo so.

Medicaid has evolved into a blanket program for all low-income people.

Then: Medicare did not cover prescription drugs.

Now: Prescription coverage took effect in 2006 under Republican President George W. Bush. Obama's health care law strengthened the drug benefit by gradually eliminating a coverage gap known as the "doughnut hole."

"It's the typical American style of doing things," said economist Gail Wilensky, Medicare administrator under President George H.W. Bush."Add a little here, add a little there.

It's messy, but it's how we do things."

The incremental approach sometimes finds political acceptance more readily, Wilensky added.

When Medicare was enacted, the American Medical Association opposed it as "socialized medicine." But Johnson cajoled a promise &om the organization that doctors would not resist its implementation.

Then: Medicare and Medicaid used private insurersbehind the scenes to processclaims, but not generally to deliver benefits.

Now: Private insurance plans increasingly are the consumer-facing side of both prograllls.

About 3 in 4 Medicaid beneficiaries are enrolled in private managed care plans. About 30 percent ofM edicare beneficiariesarein socalledMedicare Advantage plans,apartofthe program that has been growing rapidly. The private plans usually offer lower out-of-pocket expenseswhen compared totraditionalMedi care, but restrict choice of hospitals and doctors.

The Friendship Line offers safe, human contact that people need, and it's operated 24 hours a day, Driver said.

"If you have an isolated senior citizen who doesn't have anyone to talk to or doesn' t want to bother their family members in the middle of the night, they can call the Friendship Line," sad Kristi Conforti, Tuolumne County Behavioral Health mental healthservices act coordinator. "It is very needed."

"Because we are a grayer community, I think that's why it's so highly utilized," Conforti said.

From January to August 2014, the Friendship Line called between nine and 14 Tuolumne County residents, either daily or whenever requested, to remind people to take medication, go to the doctor or other reminder/checkin calls.

During that same period, between 67 and 78 people called the Friendship Line &om Tuolumne County.

Calaveras County data was not available.

The Friendship Line at the Institute on Aging is the nation's only 24-hour toll-free hotline for older and disabled adults. It started back in 1973 as a response to the high suicide rateof senior citizens, especiall y those over 75,said founder and director Patrick Arbore in San Francisco.

"It was created as an opportunity to engage in a conver-

sation, rather than a con&ontation," Arbore said.

Arbore has done &equent outreach in the Sierra Nevada and foothills region in recent years,trying to let people know about the Friendship Line and what it's all about.

Elder suicide is particularly high in rural counties, he said.

The staff are trained in suicide prevention, but the line is also for people who aren't in crisis, but just want to hear a friendly voice on the other end, he explained.

Elders are often "overlooked in our communities," and "we wanted to give them a place where they could call and feelcomfortable,"Arbore said.

The staff is trained, and everyone must pass a back-

ground check, he said. There are also supervisors on all shifts, ensuring there are safeguardsto protect the seniors who call in.

The Friendship Line gets 9,000 calls a month from all over the U.S. A similar phone line — Senior Center Without Walls — has more recreational and interest-based programming, is &ee and available to seniors

The Friendship Line offers safe, human contact that people need, and it's operated 24 hours a day. throughout California.

It's a telephone community for seniors that sessions throughout the year that last several weeks and offer a plethoraof different conversation topics.

Senior Center W i thout Walls offers activities, &iendly conversation and an assortment of classes and support groups to homebound elders and others who find it difficult to go to a community senior center. Participants call from the comfort of home through telephone conference calls. No special equipment is needed, and thecallsarefree.

It's like being on a conference call, explained Amy Schaible, community outreach manager.

A trained volunteer facilitates theconversations,pre-

sentations or games.

Seniors can call or write to sign up for the phone programs, and they get packets in the mail so they can follow along and participate in discussions.

For example, in June a 45-minute program was offered each Wednesday morning about heritage sites in Japan. Participants who signed up received a packet in the mail with color photos of what the instructor would be talking about. For a class on impressionistpainters, seniors got a packet of painting copies to follow along. For other programs, like Boggle, participantsgeta free Boggle book in the mail so they can play along. Other games include Bingo and trivia.

Phone groups include from coffee talk in the morning, a men's group, jokes, a newmember chat room, rekindling Spanish, movie madness, recipesharing,pettales, nature club, national parks, singing B r oadway s h ow tunes, open mic, music request hour, morning gratitude club, meditation, philosophy, keys to joy, poetry, support for the blind, emergency preparedness, book club, diabetes support, and a writing workshop.

"When an older adult registers for the program, which is &ee, they get the conference call number, they get a big sheet of paper with all the groups listed with the code lis ted for each group," Schaible explained. "If they want to call in, they dial the 1-800 number, punch in the code and hear a beep, and they are connected to the group.

Facilitators help guide the conversation and also keep it safeforseniors,Schaiblesaid.

"I think part of the magic of Senior Center without Walls isthatpeople createthemagic themselves," Schaible said.

Many c a llers b e come &iends and recognize each other's voices and call each other by name.

Some of the programs include homework, so the seniors have something to do during the week while waiting for the program.

"Our folks, they are homebound for many reasons, but most of them have health issues. Most are frail, but that doesn't mean they aren't alive and quick and sharp in their minds," Schaible said. "This gives them the opportunity to go out and do something without actually having to go out.

And they enjoy getting things in the mail too."

The Senior Center Without Walls is based in Oakland but serves seniors all over California. It has been around for more than 10 years.

The program was founded in Oaklandin 2004 by Terry Englehart, whose job involved providing information and referrals to seniors and their families.

She started the program as a way to alleviate the boredom and loneliness of homebound older adults, the center website said.

"Everyday people call us and say Thank you for this program; it has saved my life — I mean that literally,' " Schaible said.

'You don't have to talk.

You can hang up. You can let everyone know you' re on the line, but after that you don' t have to say a word," Schaible said.

The purpose of the program is "all about human connection," Schaible said. "Without it,we'renotourbestself."

The claimant, Pine Mountain Lake Association under said Notice of Delinquent Assessment heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. Please be advised that this property being sold is subject to a ninety (90) day right of redemption pursuant to California Civil Code Section 5715 (b). 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. 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 (916) 939-0772, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 2013-1432. 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. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 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 the property. Payment must be in the form of certified funds payable to ATC.

Those with cancer of the pancreas, colon, stomach, lung, kidney or brain are among the highest risk. Blood cancers, like leukemia and lymphoma, also increase the risk of a blood clot.

The combination of cancer, even an indolent lymphoma, and routine surgery impartsabout a 6 percentrisk ofblood clots, which is high enough that mutine anticoagulation certainly should be considered.

Adrian Peterson back in pads, moving forward with Vikings MANKATO, Minn. (AP) Adrian Peterson burst through the line of scrimmage and veered toward the sideline as he headed up the field.

Safety Robert B l anton had the Minnesota Vikings running back in his sights and easedoffthe throttle as he went in to "thud" Peterson, looking to deliver a cordial bump during the team's first training camp practice with players in pads. To Blanton's surprise, Peterson lowered his shoulder and delivered a jolt to the fourth-

year defensive back.

Most veterans dread the early days of camp and the first few hits that open the door to six months filled with jarring blows, aches and pains.

Not Peterson. He hadn' t feltthe pop of the pads for more than 10 months, an exile brought on by child abuse allegations against him. With the case settled, his punishment over, his contract situation resolved and fans welcoming him back to the field, Peterson couldn't help but be a little eager to finally get

back to the business of football.

"I' ve been looking forward to it for a long time," said Peterson, who missed the final 15games oflast season.

"It was good to get the first day down. I feel comfortable. I didn't feel sluggish or weighed down because of the pads.Ifeltpretty good."

There were times in the offseason that it appeared like Peterson could be parting ways with the only NFL franchise for which he has played.A perceived lack of support from some in the or-

ganization, and the criticism that was heaped upon him by many fansand media when the allegations first surfaced, had Peterson thinking that it was time to move on.

But he was still under contract and the Vikings refused to entertainthe idea of trad-

ing a player they believe can resume hisrole as the focal point of the offense, even as he passes the 30-year-old milestone that has spelled the beginning of the end for so many running backs before him.

As a show of faith, the Vi-

kings also restructured Peterson's contracttoguarantee him $7 million next season in case of injury.Itwas the last in aseriesofeff ortsby theorganization to smooth things over heading into a season with high expectations.

"He's had a long history here with the Vikings and the community," Wilf said. "We know what kind of person he is. That's all in the rearview m irror as far as some ofthat stuff goes and we' re looking forward to him being a big part of our team going forward.
