The Columbia Union School District Board of Trustees has joined a statewide push to ensure more financial security for schools, especially small districts like those in Tuolumne County.

The boardapproved a resolution to support SB 799,proposed by Jerry Hill,D-San Mateo.

The bill would increase the money districts are allowed to save in reserve funds for unplanned expenses.

The reserves are currently limited by a "reservescap"put in place by SB 585 passed in June 2014. The cap is enforced only in a year when the state puts money into its own reserve fund — commonly referred to as the Prop 98 "Rainy Day" — but districts design budgets around the limit in case the state makes that move.

If passed, the bill would raise the cap from 6 percentto 17 percent ofa district's general fund, and completely remove the limit for districts with fewer than 250,001 students.

The exemption would apply to all districts in Tuolumne County — where no district has more than 2,000 students — and do away with the "fiscally irresponsible" legislation now in place, according to Tuolumne County Assistant Superintendent of Schools Tami Ethier.

Under existing legislation, a district can set aside as much money as needed, and apply for an exemption from the limit, Ethier said.

But to do either requires allocation of any money above the limit to specific projects because districts must keep a minimum reserve in case the cap is invoked.

With the money tied up, districts are then made vulnerable if unforeseen expenses occur like broken equipment or cuts due to a poor

Ethiersaid a broken air conditioner costs the same to fix no matter what district it happens in. A district generating less revenue needs to hold a higher percentage of that money to cover expenses.

Columbia now holds a 17 percent reserve, which would cover roughly two months of regular expenses like utilities, salaries, benefits, and materials, said Columbia Union School District Chief Business Official Norma Hunt.

Under the current budget cap, the district would have to cut back the reserves to 8 percent of its general fund.

In anticipation the cap may be imposed, the district thisyear transferred $333,017.15 out ofthe reserve fora field project.

The project is something the district wants to pursue,but to commit dollars to projects instead of waiting until specific needs come up, hampers the ability to best meet student needs, said Superintendent Craig Bowden.

The board resolution is an official call to lawmakers topass the billbefore the end of the legislation session Friday, and linked to a support campaign launched by the California School Boards Association, an organization thatadviseslocaldistricts in procedures and policies.

Board Secretary Lisa Blaylock will send a copy of the resolution to Governor Jerry Brown and lawmakerstoday,adding to nu-

acrossthe state,said Blaylock.

Should the bill not pass, changes to the reserves cap will have to wait until January when the legislature reconvenes.

Most districts in the county have already adopted resolutions that voice concern over the current cap, said Superintendent of Schools Margie Bulkin, but believes Columbia to be the first to pass a resolution in support SB 799.

"I wouldencourage my county board to do economy.

Reserve funds in the county range from the the same," said Bulkin, but added that the state minimum of 4 percent up to close to 100 Tuolumne County Board of Education will percent, with the smallest districts holding wait to see how SB 799 plays out in Septemthe highestreserves to compensate for less ber before further working to change the reoverall money in the general fund. serves cap.

GUEST COLUMN

There's more to learning than a job prospect In autumn ayoung man's fancy (and a young woman's, too) turns to thoughts of school. Even the melancholy chirping of the crickets becomes a sad song of the ebb of summer. Flip-flops and summer tees, like Cinderella's glass slippers and silk gowns, are replaced by "appropriate" dress, and book bags bulge with pencils and notebooks(paper and electronic).If a girlloses her fl ip-flops now, there's no young man on the beach to search for the foot to fit. Those days have passed.

The approach of autumn ushers in anxiety in the faculty lounge, too, as debates rage over the best way to prepare the rising classes to fit into the complex world. Economic issues dominate the discussion. Once upon a time the emphasis was on preparation to learn how to think critically, how to ask the right questions.

A "well-rounded"man or woman gotthat way through study of the liberal arts. Now the point of an education, though more expensive than ever, has little to do with critical thinking or an acquired appreciation of history, culture and government.

"No idea has SUZRIllle

'

Fields tion policy than the notion that colleges teach their students specific, marketable skills, which they can use to get a good job," writes John Cassidy in The New Yorker, examining the current college "calculus," or strategy, of higher education.

A collegeeducation now offers betterjob prospects to make it a good investment for future earnings, but a college education was once understood to include a broad education in the liberal arts and sciences. Employers would be assured that the prospective employee had achieved a certain level of "cognitive competence."

But not today. Vocational majors have narrowed traditional college requirements in many ways. Vocational courses atsome colleges, for example, limit access

to knowledge by emphasizing "practical approaches" to information. At Kansas State, for example, bakery scienceand management as an undergraduate major m ight lead to better "bread,"as in a better raisin and nut loaf (or perhaps, metaphorically, as in "earning the bread"). But is that what should be acquired in a university degree? No doubt Oklahoma State's degree in fire protection and safety engineering and technology suggests skill in acquiring valuable tips for making society safer, but should the university be the place to collect such tips?

A popular major is that amorphous umbrella called "communications," but one new study finds that few "communications" graduates are happy with their first jobs.

"They show up on their first day," an editor in D.C. tells me, "and are grievously wounded when they aren't assigned to cover the White House." Since the recession, of course, increasing numbers of graduates find their degrees entitle them to no job at all. In 2007, only5.5percent ofcollegegraduates joined thejobless, and today that number is almost 9 percent.

Graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, known as the STEM courses, think their

training aimed them in the right direction for jobs, but only I in 5 recent STEM graduates get those jobs.

An unhappy corollary of this narrowing focus is that fewer students study literature or other subjects of the liberal arts that would enrich their lives and broaden their intellectual perspectives with insights that enhance critical thinking. Part of this is due to cost-benefit analysis (even if it's not thought of that way), and part due to the way literature is taught.

Tenured and untouchable professors reinforce groupthink by teaching literature through a narrow, politicallycorrect focus rather than search for great books

to introducediverse points ofview. A great novel engaging on moral issues with a diversity of voices provides a context very different from consensus, one that opens minds. That's missing from many campuses.

In a previous century I once taught English literature to a scattering of engineering students in a sophomore survey course at Catholic University of America. I tried to impress upon them that this was thelasttime they would be exposed to great literature within an academic environment, so make it count.

My best students worked their way from Chaucer to T.S. Eliot, finding reflection and depth of insight in writers now often dismissed as politically incorrect dead white men.

I don't know how those engineers fared in the economy, but when they wanted to think about the ways of the world, they could enjoy "The Wife of Bath's Tale" without worrying about feminism, or read T.S. Eliot to grasp the critical meaning of "The Hollow Men" as a perspective of another time and place that says something clear and right today, too. Literary empathy broadens moral viewpoints and engages the reader more deeply in his own time. It's a waste to sacrifice

that kind of learning on the altar of vocational aspiration Suzanne Fields isa nationally syndicated columnist and regular commentator for CNN and Fox News.

GUEST COLUMN

Gadgets shouldn't teach kids how to eat It had to be a joke, a parody, I thought while reading of a new electronic gadget claiming to entice children to eat vegetables by rewarding them with video games.

I' ve been taken in by less. But there was the Yumit being touted with a straight face on the website of the reputable Wired magazine.

The not-yet-launched Yumit can't help but harm efforts to preserve (or restore) the family dinner hour. Experts in child development are promoting family meals as a way to socialize the young and teach them healthy eating habits. A ban on personal electronics at the table (parents first) removes a barrier to the back-andforth essential to the mission.

The Yumit works like this: A plate rests on a scale that measures each bite. As the vegetable load lightens, a strip of lightemitting diodes around the plate changes Rom white to green. The scale transmits the data via Bluetooth to an app, and the vegetable eater wins, say, 15 minutes of playing a video game.

The promo material for Yumit does not envision a family at all. It shows a girl all alone. She holds up a spoon containing a grape and grins like she just won the jackpot.

(Slot machines come to mind. The cherry and melon symbols date to their earliest days, when cash prizes were against the law but fruit was considered a healthy and sinless reward — though the prizes

YOUR VIEWS Are the disabled better off?

To the Editor: This year is the 25th anniversary of the ADA, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and it's a good time to ask: "Are people with disabilities better off today than they were before?" The answer is yes and no.

Sure, we have more rights, we' re not getting locked up in the state hospitals anym ore, but we are stillleft out because of the budget.

Because of cuts, the system that provides services to people with disabilities is falling apart. Because there's no money, group homes are closing down, day programs are going out of business.

Employment rates for people with disabilities are the same as the unemployment rates for non-disabled and there is no money for job development and training.No one has enough money forthe basics. Medi-cal will pay for an eye exam, but not the glasses. Dental services are hard to come by and most of it is out of pocket.

new lures to our growing pile of online addictions. And what could be more distracting at dinnertime than a ring of lights turning color around children's plates?

The faster they gulp down their carrots the soonerthey get to the video game.

Throwing them on the fl oor would produce the same result, one supposes.

The Boston University report concluded that young kids learn best through direct human-to-human interaction.

That need not mean a return to the oldfashioned vegetable punishments — for example,"no dessert until you eat your spinach." They were tried on me with the resultthatIcouldn'tlook atasparagus for the next 20 years. (Fully recovered, I now can't get enough of it.)

There must bea happy medium between cultivating good nutrition through a Vegas-type reward system and making it a nasty chore. That would be a civilized dining routine in which healthful food is alsodeliciousfood and children seegrownups eating their peas with pleasure.

Froma Harrop were actually fruit-flavored chewing gum.)

Anyhow, the app tells parents how long the child chewed his food and the time between bites. So parents don't even have to sit at the same table to monitor the youngster's eating habits. Come to think of it, they don't even have to be on the same continent.

But here is the "coolest thing about the Yumit," according to Wired: "Translating actual, physical energy into a virtual points system is a smart way to teach kids about why food (and healthy food, at that) is important."

What could possibly go wrong that the next generation of psychiatrists won't be able to fix?

Too much interactive screen time is already impairing young children's social and emotional development, according to a report out of the Boston University School of Medicine.

"Ifthese devices become the predominant method to calm and distract young children," the researchers write, "will they be able to develop their own internal mechanisms of self-regulation?"

Debate to include 11 Republicans WASHINGTON (AP)Eleven Republican presidential candidates have qualified for next week's primetime debate,a slate thatfeatures the full diversity of the GOP's 2016 class and is believed to be thelargestgroup to share a presidentialdebate stage in modern political history.

The candidates scheduled to meet for Wednesday's primetime affair, announced Thursday night by debate host CNN, will include former technology executive Carly Fiorina, whose weak polling numbers kept her out of the first debate. But a bump in the polls and an aggressive lobbying effort persuaded CNN to broaden its participation criteria, a coup forFiorina and GOP offici alseager to feature the party's only 2016 female

candidate in the nationally televised clash.

But don't expect Fiorina to get as much airtime as Donald Trump, who will be positioned front and center when the candidates meet at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. The undisputed leader in n a tional polls, Trump is generally considered the biggest reason why Fox News Channel reached 24 million people for the first GOP presidential debate last month — the most watched program in Fox News history.

Sharing the stage with Trump and Fiorina at next week's 8 p.m. EDT debate will be former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Kentucky Sen.

Rand Paul, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, retired neuro-

surgeon Ben Carson, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Republican Nati o nal Committee officials have praisedthe diversity of the field, which includes a woman, an African-American and two Hispanics.

Five candidates lagging in national polls did not qualify for the main event and will instead be featured in a 6 p.m. debate in the same venue: former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal,South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, former Pennsylvania Sen.Rick Santorum and former New York Gov. George Pataki.

Firefighters battle to protect grove of Giant Sequoia trees FRESNO (AP) — Firefighters in Central California on Thursday say the state's largest wildfire threatens to sweep through an ancient grove of Giant Sequoia trees consideredtobe a national treasure.

Firefighters are clearing lines with bulldozers around the Grant Grove and putting up sprinklers, said Andy Isolano, a spokesman for the Clovis Fire Department.

Although Isolano said the trees can endure fire, some are stressed in the four-year drought and they' re not taking any chances because the fast-moving flames are about five miles from the grove.

It is named for the towering General Grant tree that stands 268 feet tall. There are dozens of Sequoia groves in the Sierra Nevada, and some trees are 3,000 years old.

In Sonora, 45 miles away, the sky was hazy Thursday afternoon and by evening ash had begun to fall.

Schools restricted outdoor activities, including athletic practices.

"We live next to a canyon," Miller said in a phone interview. The fire was in the canyon."

Miller said she had to leave behind pets and farm animals because she had no notice.

"Nobody came to the door. I don' t quite understand how that happens.

It's my first wild land fire and I'm not going to have another one," said Miller, who had been without power since Wednesday. "I don't know why people couldn't say,'Hey look, you really need to leave.' No chain of command, nothing like that."

Miller, who owns cats, chickens and goats, had to leave three cats and a flock of chickens behind.

"Those animals rely on us," Miller said. "And I' ve let them down."

WASHINGTON — Participation in the joint Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense eBenefits website topped five million users this week, two months ahead of schedule. VA established an agency priority goal of reaching five million eBenefits users by the end of fiscal year 2015. VA achieved this early milestone through aggressive outreach effort s and with the support of DoD and its Veterans Service Organization partners.

"Veterans are encouraged to enroll in eBenefits and file their claims online through this one-stop shop for benefits-related tools and information," said Under Secretary for Benefits Allison Hickey. ''We have already implem ented nearly 60 self-service features and we continue to expand eBenefits capabilities to giveveterans and servicemembers greater flexibility in securing their information."

The number ofeBenefi ts users is a key measure of VA's success in improving veterans' access to VA benefits and

services and is reported on www.performance.gov.

To enroll in eBenefits, vet-

erans and servicemembers must obtain a DoD Self-Service Logon (DS Logon), which provides access to

s everal

veterans and military benefits resources using a single username and password. The service is &ee and may be obtained online at www.ebenefits.va.gov or in person at a VA Regional Office.

"The successful collaboration of eBenefits and DS Logon is just one more example of how the DoD and VA are working together to continue bringing current and former Servicemembers secure online access to the benefits they' ve earned," said Mary Dixon, Director of Defense Manpower Data Center.

The rapid and continued growth in the utilization of the eBenefits website demonstrates the importance of givingVeterans greateraccessto information about their own benefits. In addition to filing claims online and checking the status of those claims, veteranscan also message their VA doctor, order prescription drug refills and obtain official military documents through eBenefi ts.M ore than 7.5 million VA letters have been generated and downloaded by Veterans that show proof of disability, income or Veterans preference used in federalor state government hiring.

NOTICEOF PACIFIC GAS ANO ELECTRIC COMPANY'S REQUEST TOINCREASE RATES FOR THE 2017 GENERAL RATECASEA.15-09-001 On September 1, 201 5, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E)filed an application (1 5-09-001) with the California Public Utiliti es Commission (CPUC) requesting approval to increase rates to operate, maintain and upgrade PG&E's electric distribution, gas distribution and electric generation facilities. The requested rate increase would begin January 1, 2017. This application is known as PG&E's General Rate Case (GRC) and will be reviewed in a public process. After the public process, the CPUC will then make a decision on what is reasonable for customers to pay in rates. If approved, this request will increase PG&E's revenue requirement by $457 million in 201 7, $489 million in 201 8 and $390 million in 201 9 for gas and electric service. PG&E is requesting total increase of $2,739 million for the 201 7-201 9GRC.

ABOUT THEFILING Every three years, PG&E is required to file a GRCwith the CPUC.The annual revenue requirement is the total amount of money a utility collects through rates in a given year for specific purposes. The increase in revenue requested in this GRC will be used to make the following investments:

• Upgrading the system ofpower plants, poles, wires, pipes andequipment neededto deliver electricity and gas to our customers • Increasing safety in the operation of gas and electric facilities

• Modernizing andstrengthening our infrastructure to support clean technologyand integrate resourcessuch as rooftop solar, battery storage and other renewables • Improving customerservice support andproviding customers with choice and control over their energy usage • Continuing improvements of emergency preparedness and coordination with public safety organizations

The GRCdoes not include fuel-related costs addressed in the CPUC'sEnergyResources RecoveryAccount proceedings (A.15-06-001), electric transmission-related costs addressed atthe Federal EnergyRegulatory Commission, or gastransmission andstorage (A.13-12-012) costs which are filed in separateapplications.

ESTIMATEDIMPACT ON ELECTRIC RATES For 2017, the forecasted electric revenue requirement increase is $372 million. PG&Eestimates that, initially, the requested increase in electric revenues would be distributed. A table presenting a more illustrative description of the impact of this application was included in a bill insert announcing this filing that was sent directly to customers in the September 201 5 billing cycle.

If the CPUC approves PG&E's request for an electric rate increase, the electric bill for a typical residential customer using 500 kilowatt hours per month would increase by $2.86 or 3.2 percent from $89.30 to $92.16. Individual customer bills may vary. Rates would become effective January 1, 201 7.

How will PG&E's application affect non-bundled customers?

754-3967

Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers only receive electric transmission and distribution service from PG&E. Since PG8 E does not obtain energy for these customers, the net impact of PG&E's application on DA and CCA customers is $13 million, or an

average increase of1.8percent.

ESTIMATEDIMPACT ON GAS RATES For 201 7, the forecasted gas distribution revenue increase is $85 million.

The actual distribution of the increase to each customer class depends on how the CPUCultimately decides the GRC. A table presenting a more illustrative description of the impact of this application was included in a bill insert announcing this filing that was sent directly to customers in the September 201 5 billing cycle.

If the CPUC approves PG&E's request for a gas rate increase, the gas bill for a typical residential customer using 34 therms per month would increase by $1.20 or 2.3% from $51.33 to $52.53. Individual customer bills may vary. Rates would become effective January 1, 2017.

While the GRCwill determine the total amount of money PG&Ecan collect in rates for certain purposes, the design of the actual rates themselves and the price charged to customers will be determined in separate proceedings to be filed in the future with the CPUC. The actual distribution of the increase to each customer dass depends on how the CPUCultimately decides the GRC, as well as in the separate electric rate design proceeding expected to be filed with the CPUC in the first quarter of 201 6.

RIDE

Continued from Page Bl riders," Silva said.

Human tra%ckers lure their victims through force, &aud or coercion to exploit them forforced labor or commercial sexual exploitation.

Part of the reason for the localpush to raise awareness stems from next year's Super Bowl being held in Santa Clara.

Silva said the highest rate of human trafficking in the United States occurs each year during the week of the Super Bowl. The place with the second highest amount of trafficking behind Las Vegas is typically the host city for the big game.

"There'sa direct line between Las Vegas and San Francisco," Silva said. "We think it would be important to make people aware."

The committee of area leaders helping to organize both the movie showing and bicycle ride is comprised of Silva and fellow Red Church members Faye Choate and Lloyd Schneider, Sonora City Councilwoman Connie Williams, Summerville Union High School District Superintendent Robert GrifIith, Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Margie Bulkin, Tuolumne County Sheriff Jim Mele, Tuolumne County District A t t orney Laura Krieg, social activist Domenic Torchia, Tuolumne County Board of Education Trustee Juliana Feriani and Laura Sunday of the Center for a Non Violent Community.

Though he has only accumulated eight quarters of varsity football, Giangregorio is playing like a seasoned veteran.

"He's played like he's a senior," said senior linebacker Wade McCann. "He gets the game and has good instincts.

He flies to the ball and does what he is supposed to do.

He adds to the intensity. He always brings energy to every play."

Wildcat golfers lose to Indians at home The Sonora Wildcats suffered their first loss on the links Tuesday at Mountain Springs Golf Club.

The Ripon Indians (3-0) maintained their perfect Valley Foothill League recordwith a 201-215 victory over Sonora.

Sonora's Megan Popovich and Ripon's Brianna Alvarez tied for medalist honors with each carding a 43.

Also for Sonora (2-1), Amanda Mena and Shelby Frame each shot 57 and Emma Peller added a 58.

The Wildcats next will play Monday in the Yellowjacket Invitational at Micke Grove in Lodi.

Sophomore Grace Fulkerson stoodbehind the service line in the fifth and final set with her Summerville Bears holding onto a 1411 lead Thursday night in Tuolumne over the Hughson Huskies. The southpaw served a rocket and handcuffed Hughson's Megan Kosky, who was unable to pass the ball to a teammate.

T he moment th e b a l l touched the court, a collective cheer exploded from the Bears bench and the Bear Cave, a packed student section in the Summerville gymnasium. In the longest match that the Bears have played, getting the win was a huge shot in the arm.

"We' ve had some games where we' vehad tofi ght,but this one really took a long time to get there," said Summerville head coach Jennifer Osterhout. "The girls did great and rallied through the whole thing and worked really hard."

The Bears jumped out to an 8-1 lead in the first set, and the crowd got behind every point. "Let's go Summerville" chants rained down on the court. With every Summerville kill, the cheering sectionstood,removed their hats, and chanted, "Rest in peace!" The energetic crowd fueled the Bears to a 26-24 first set win.

"Defensively, I didn't realim until we talked about the numbers, I knew they didn't have the ball a lot, but I didn't realize their production was down as much as it was," said Wildcat head coach Bryan Craig.

"It's nice when the other team's coaches are probably looking at film thinking we' re blitzing our mike (middle linebacker), Malone said. "But no, I didn't blitz any of them at any point. It's nice when they read it and get downhill that fast.

Brad played well, but I think our star was probably Shane.

Finally we got our defensive line moving and he made a lot, a lotofplaysforus.He played the trap well, he kept contain most times and made quite a few tackles."

Petrey doesn't play the most glamorous position and at 5-f eet-ll,180 pounds,he is often times going against bigger offensive linemen. But he is quick off the line and gives opposing linemen fits.

"We just read our keys, stayed home and played football," Petrey said of the second half success against Lodi. ''We were doing what we were coached to do. We were in condition and we just kept going.

We beat them down. Last year when we played them, we beat them down &om the beginning and this year it just took us a little bit longer."

And just like last year, the Wildcats, after playing two Wing-T, dominant run offenses the first two weeks will face

The Bears started the final set the same way they started the game, on fire and ready to capitalize on Hughsons mistakes.

Fulkerson and Caldera got the Bears on the board with a strong block, and it was smooth sailing from there. Caldera and Fulkerson added two kills apiece, and the Bears built a strong lead and at long last put away Hughson.

With the win, Summerville will be able to look back at this game as an example of playing strong from the beginning to the end with a

positive outcome.

"Winning a game like this is huge for our team because we have three sophomores and we have some girls who didn't get a lot of court time last year," Osterhout said.

"So getting them to all work togetherisa huge motivator.

Spring training $810M impact for Phoenix

Pitching workloads a mncern as playoffs near

PHOENIX (AP) Spring training baseball had an estimated economic impact of $810 million for the Phoenix metropolitan area in the past year.

One study r e leased Thursday said the 15team Cactus League directly brought in nearly $300 million from outside the Phoenix area this year through indirect and presumed spending.

Another report found that baseball's year-round operations and other uses for the Cactus League's stadiums helped bring in about $266 million.

The $810 million economic impact figure is up 29 percent from three years ago.

The reports conducted

by FMR Associates of Tucson also found that two thirds of out-of-town visitors stayed in hotels, motels or resorts during spring training.

About 56 percent of the visitors rented a vehicle and more than a third took in other sightseeing activities during their stay.

Mayweather, USADA dispute doping report LAS VEGAS (AP)Floyd MayweatherJr.insists he did nothing wrong in taking an IV solution to rehydrate after the weighin for his fight against Manny Pacquiao.

D oping officials o n Thursday also b acked Mayweather, saying he disclosed the infusion to them before taking it and that it contained no prohibited substances.

A report Wednesday by SB Nation said representatives of the U.S. AntiDoping Agency saw that Mayweather had taken the IV when they went to collect urine samples from him after the weigh-in.

The report said the Mayweather did not receive a formal exemption from the USADA for the IV until three weeks after the fight.

But the USADA said it was aware of the IV prior to it being taken and that the Nevada Athletic Commission and Pacquiao's representati ves were notified. In a statement, the

agency referred to what it called "numerous unfounded and false accusations" in the article, saying they were either a "genuine misunderstanding of the facts or an intentional desire to mislead."

13-year-olds being phased out of LL (AP) — Little League is getting younger.

T he o ~ ati o n a n n ounced Thursday it i s cllang)ng its age require-

ment, phasing 13-year-olds out of the division that plays in the annual Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

They are doing that by changing the league's "age determination date" to Aug. 31. That will prevent anyone who turns 13 during the baseball season from playing in the major division of Little League baseball.

The change, which affects all divisions from tee-ball up, fully takes effect beginnmg in 2018. The current birthdate cutoff of April 30 will remain in effectin 2016 and 2017 for players born on or before Aug. 31, 2005.

Little League District Administrators had voted in 2014 tomove the age cutoff date to Dec. 31. But Stephen D. Keener, the league's president and CEO, said they moved it again aftergetting feedback from parents, coaches and others.

The administrators felt the Aug. 31 date would be more appropriate in meeting 'the goal of making the Little League Baseball Division truly a 12 and under program, while also mitigating the impact to those currently participating in the Little League program," Keener said.

But although the procedure has become more common, its aftermath is still fraught with anxiety — and the delicate challenge of managing a pitcher's workload is almost certain to affect this year's postseason.

John says when he became a freeagent after the 1978 season, the Dodgers were hesitant to re-sign him for more than a couple years, concerned about how long his surgically repaired arm would hold up. He went to the Yankees instead and ended up pitching for another decade.

The dilemma that's come up with Harvey and Strasburg involves what a pitcher should do in the very early stages of his return. Is it prudent to limit a pitcher's innings (or pitches) in his very first year back on the mound?

"I think that may be valid," John conceded. "Maybe."

After sitting out the 1975 season, John came back and threw 207 innings in 1976.

He says he could have pitched even more.

"The only thing that affected my endurance was Walter Alston, our manager," John

The real concern was not for Thursday's practice, but for the possibility of not being able to play Hilmar today at Dunlavy Field. But if the skies look like they did Thursday afternoon, and not how they did in the morning, the Wildcats will host the Yellowjackets at 7 p.m. for their home opener.

"For today (Thursday), the disadvantage is not that big,

other than we can't really kick the ball or throw the ball too much, but really it' s a walk-through day," said Wildcat head coach Bryan Craig. "We' re making sure everybody understands their a ssignments, we get o u r counts right, so it doesn't affect us too much today.

Brady throws 4 TDs, Patriots top Steelers in opener FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)Whether sprinting out of the tunnel for warmups, watching former teammates and the Patriots owner carrying Lombardi Trophies, or tearing apart t h e S t eelers, Tom

Brady relished every moment of this NFL season opener.

"It was a pretty special night," said Brady, who threw for four touchdowns, three to favorite target Rob Gronkowski, in a 28-21 victory Thursday night over undermanned and generally inefFective Pittsburgh.

"I was excited, our whole team was excited. We haven't had one of these games in a long time."

It was as if he never was away.

Of course, he never really was, and with "Deflategate" behind him, the star quarterback was back to his unstoppableself,going 25 of32 for 288 yards.

Neither, it seemed, did the Steel Curtain. Only occasionally did it come close to clamping down on Brady, yielding 361 yards overall.

Third-stringer Lewis rushed for 69 yards, and leading receiver Julian Edelman had 11 catches for 97 yards. Gronkowski had 94 yards. ''We' ve got to finish a few instances better," coach Mike Tomlin said.

"I thought we got a little &azzled at times. Some of the young people have got to get better in a hurry."

Tomlin was angry after the game, complaining that coaches couldn' t communicate because they were hearing the Patriots radio broadcast over their headsets. Patriots coaches also complained about similar troubles. The league said it was a temporary problem caused in part by the weather. For years, opposing teams have complained about having headset problems in Gillette Stadium.

success has been due to the outstanding play of the ofFensive and defensive line, better known as "Team Beef."

Team Beef stands forBlast, Explode, Elevate, and Finish — BEEF. To some, being compared to a bovine farm animal would be an insult. But for the Summerville linemen, it is an adopted name they are proud to be called.

"Being part of Team Beef just gives us all a lot of pride because we don'tget a lot of recognition, but we don' t need it," said senior Andrew Chauvin. Watching other guys score, we know that we are the reason why and it's a good feeling."

"We are like the silent professionals," said Kenney Warnock. "We give it all we' ve got and we don't really get a lot of credit. But that doesn't matter to us. What the backs do is a direct reflection on what we have done."

Team Beef has seen plenty of their guys score. In two games, the Bears have entered the end zone 14 times, and helped pave the way for the 70 points they put up last week against Mariposa.

The Bears have racked up 931 yardsof totalofFense in two games and are averaging 52 points in those two games.

"Ifyou look at our stats, (Jake) Fulkerson is number one in rushing and (Nathaniel) Ulvevadet is n umber

two," said senior quarterback Travis Rodgers. "I'm number one in passing and it's not because we are the greatest backfield. It's because of the line. All the stats refiect that.

It's just sad that they don' t get stats for all that stuff. You just have to watch them."

Team Beef gets one of its key members back this week.

Senior guard Chris Caldera missed the first two games of the season with a rib injury, but he was cleared to practice and will start tonight against Bradshaw Christian. Caldera will line up next to Elkins,

and the guard/tackle combo is happy to be reunited.

"It's pretty awesome being back and playing with these guys because I have been playing football with these guys since I was a little kid," said Caldera. "Just knowing that I get to play again is just a happy moment. And lining up next to Eklins is great because I know if I have any

The Pride has rushed for

nearly 272 yards per game, and bring an unblemished 2-0 record into tonight's matchup.

Bradshaw Christian has only attempted 13 passes in two games, so the majority of the offense is a ground-andpound attack.

'They are going to try to blow us off the line, so we are going tohave to be quicker than them and just make piles that disrupt their offense," said sophomore McCormic Banks. "It's nice knowing that they are going to run over and over again, so we can prepare for that. We

Team Beef literally and figuratively has to have thick skin. If something does not go right, they have the thick skin to be able to take criticism and grow &om their mistakes.

"Everyone knows that they can change a game, and they can win it, or lose it," said running back Jake Fulkerson, who has rushed for 258 yards.

"So if they aredoggin'itornot using their head, they like it when someone points it out."

Team Beef is a u nique group, and as long as they are pulling their weight, Summerville will continue to add wins to its record.

"Team Beef is the exact oppositeofthe guys that get to touch the ball," said Bears head coach Sean Leveroos.

'The guys that touch the ball wanna know what their stats were at the end of the game and how many catches they had. Where Team Beef is more selfiess. They are willing to put their bodies through harm every single play and possibly neverget the recognition for it. So, it's a re&eshing group to hang around."

Big Numbers The Thorsted Field scoreboard worked toperfection last Friday night. However, it wouldn't have been a surprise if it stopped working with the 70 points the Bears put up on it. The 70 points is the most the Bears have scored in over a decade.

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 call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau houniondemocrat.corn

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: Thesale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site htt://www. ualit loan.corn, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-624017-CL . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. lf the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released ofpersonal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

Widower's salacious farewell turns date off DEARANME: I am a widow in my 80s. I recently was introduced to a widower whoseemed friendly and had a good sense of humor. He asked me out

Annie's Mailbox

for dinner and the conversation went

well. But when he took me home, he kissed me and grabbed my breast. I was absolutely not expecting this &om a supposedly"nice"guy,and especially not on a first date. What on earth would he expect on a second date?

At my age, I am not looking for a romantic or physical relationship. I shouldhave slapped his facefor being so forward, or at least let him know it was not appropriate.

This man has called several times since then, but I will not answer the phone because I don't know how to tell him that I don't want to accompany him anywhereever again.Ihavemany widowed ladyfriends,and we gettogether often for lunches, movies, etc., and I am perfectly happy with that. I don't need to feel uncomfortable in the presence of

a man who can't keep his hands to himself. How can I get him to stop calling me? —LONELY, NOT LUSTING DEAR LONELY: Please be honest with this lothario. Tell him you were highly offended by his vulgar display at the end of your date, and you are not interested in seeing him again. Add that you are not looking for a physical relationship and he would be better off with someone who is.We suggest you write these words down, practice saying them, and then read them to Mr. Inappropriate when he next calls so you don't stumble or become flustered. He deserves to know the truth, and you deserve to be left in peace.

DEAR ANNIE: Would you clarify the difference between hoarding antI being a filthy pig housekeeper?

Hoarding, to me, is filling your home with stut that you cannot part with. It has nothing to do with keeping a house clean.After getting a few glimpses of hoarders on W I don't understand how this can be called "entertainment." Who would allow their home to be filmed foralltheworld to see?Ibelieve these scenes are staged. This sick curiosity, spoon-fed by the networks, is but another example of society's downslide. Any comment? — DISGUSTED WITH PROGRAMMHVG DEAR DISGUSTED: Hoarding is a form of mental illness, and we agree that it should not be displayed for public amusement.

Nonetheless, as long as people watch these programs and advertisers pay to promote their products on them, they will continue.

The upsideis,such programs bring

awareness to the public and, in most instances, these homes are

professionally cleaned and the inhabitants receive therapy. It is not filmed without their agreement.

While some scenes may be staged, we can assure you that hoarders actually do live like this. It's terribly sad.

Vacxinations important to keep population healthy DEAR DR. ROACH:I know people who home-school their children rather than let them attend public school because they won't allow their children to bevaccinated as required by the schools. There must be studies that show the percentage of children who are adversel y afFected by vaccinations as opposed to those who are adversely affected by actually having the diseases. Can you discuss this? — M.F. ANSWER: Vaccine requirements difI' er&om state to state forschool-age children, but in California, a bill recentlywas passed mandating vaccines for polio; diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTP); measles, mumps, rubella (MMR); hepatitis B; and varicella (chickenpox).

Children who are not fully vaccinated will be unable to attend public school unless they have a medical reason not to be.

Some of these conditions are now quite rare in the U.S. and Canada, so adverse events from vaccine-preventablediseasesarerare.In fact,theUnited States was declared measles-free in 1990. However, children and adults still can beexposed to measles,and recent

There have been about 800 cases of measles in the U.S. in 2014 and 2015 so far, with one death.

These vaccines are very, very safe.

While minor side effects occur occasionally ,serious side e6'ects occur very rarely. For the MMR vaccine, the rate

Being totally compliant with recommended vaccines is very (but not 100 percent) safe,it protects you and your children, and it protects people with immune system disease who cannot protect themselves with vaccines.

DEAR DR. ROACH:I have noticed that my 22-year-old granddaughter's eyes are bulging more than in the past.

She has not had a recent thyroid test.

Can you help me understand the cause of this? She is addicted to table salt, using an extreme amount with every meal. What problems will this overuse of salt cause her? Are the two conditions connected in any way? — L.M. ANSWER: Exophthalmos, the bulging appearanceofthe eye,is a classic sign of Grave's disease, an autoimmune

of aserious reaction, such as severe al-

lergic reaction, are less than 1 per million. Autism, once incorrectly claimed to be triggered by the MMR vaccine, has been shown in many studies to have no association with the vaccine.

The vaccination rate is still very high, and for this reason measles has not

stimulation of the thyroid gland, where antibodiesbinds to receptors in the thyroid, stimulating it to produce more hormone. The bulging is not a result of thyroidexcess,butrather a cross-reaction of the antibody to fat cells behind the eye, causing the eye to bulge out.

Treatment for excess thyroid hormone doesn't reverse this, because the antibodiesare stillpresent.Your granddaughterneeds tobetested forGrave's disease.

I have seen people whose eyes just appeartobulge.They have sometimes had dozensof thyroid tests,as every doctor they see checks their levels. Other conditions that can simulate exophthalmos include obesity, Cushing's syndrome, inflammation of the eye muscles and other inflammatory diseases.

Excesssaltma y increaseblood pressure, and may even increase stroke risk

Today in history Today is Friday, Sept.

11, the 254th day of 2015.

There are 111 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On Sept. 11, 2001, America faced an unprecedented day of terror as 19 al-Qaida members hijacked four passenger jetliners, sending two of the planes smashing into New York's World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania, resulting in nearly 3,000 deaths.

On this date: In 1936, Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) began operation as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a key in Washington to signal the startup of the dam's first hydroelectric generator.

In 1954, the Miss America pageant made its network TV debut on ABC; Miss California, Lee Meriwether, was crowned the winner.

In 1962, The Beatles completed their first single for EMI, "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You," at EMI studios in London.

In 1974, Eastern Airlines Flight 212, a DC-9, crashed while attempting to land in Charlotte, North Carolina, killing 72 of the 82 people on board. The family drama "Little House on the Prairie" premiered on N BC-TV. In 1984, country star Barbara Mandrell was seriously injured in an automobile accident near Nashville, Tennessee, that claimed the life of the other driver, Mark White.

In 1985, Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds cracked career hit number 4,192 off Eric Show (rhymes with "how") of the San Diego Padres, eclipsing the record held by Ty Cobb.

B IIIG Birthdayfor September 11.This is your lucky year! Go for your dream. Personal growth (especially after 9/13) and partnership (which blossoms after 3/8) are key. Focus on finances for family growth (especially after 9/27), and for new income (after 3/23). Do it for love.

Robert Orben, a comedy writer and magician 4AQ4 who interestingly wrote speeches for Gerald Ford, East said, "I always get to the airport an hour early. That < 4JS way, I can be one of the first to know that the flight V KQ1074 has been delayed."

I A86 3 At the bridge table, if you know you will lose 4J2 a trick in a suit, should you lose it early or later?

South In this deal, for example, what should happen in 4 974 hearts? Would you prefer to declare in or defend against three no-trump after West has led the heart VAJ8 nine?

I 754 2 In the auction, South was right to respond one 4 K9 6 no-trump, not two diamonds. If game were posDealer: North sible, it was so much more likely to be in three noVulnerable: Neither trump than in five diamonds. And if the latter were best, North would run from no-trump.

South West N orth E a st South starts with eight top tricks: three spades, 11 1V two hearts (given that East has the king-queen) and 1NT Pa s s 3 N T All Pass three clubs. He must play on diamonds to establish a winner there. However, this requires losing the Opening lead:V 9 lead twice, and the risk is that East will establish and run his heart suit first.

The key play comes at trick one. If East puts up hisheartqueen,South ducks,takesthe second heart trick, and plays a diamond. West will win but not have another heart to play.

East must remember to give declarer his heart tricks as quickly as possible. At trick one, East encourages with the heart seven. South wins with his jack and plays a diamond, but West takes the trick and leads his second heart. This establishes East's suit while East still has the diamond ace as an entry. The contract is down one instead of plus one.

LOS ANGELES (AP)A new Nat Geo Wild series premiering Sept. 19 follows a group of students through rotations at the prestigious Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.

As the animals and owners face life-and-death moments on "Vet School," families, students and teachers share their feelings. But it' s notalways clearwhose tears are falling.

In thesecond episode,for example, titled "Day One," Greg and Ki m H erman bring in t heir 3-year-old English bulldog Millie, who has end-stage congestive heart failure and a 50-50 chance of survival.

Because he is in such bad shape, the Hermans are asked what they want done if the t reatment doesn' t w ork: Should Millie b e awakened or euthanized?

The family anguishes over a decision but chooses to give Millie up rather than make her suffer.

The first episode, called "Crash Course," starts on a lighter, geekier note as the productioncrew of four begins shadowing seven students around the Ithaca, New York, college. Dr. Carolyn McDaniel steals the first scene and teaches the first lesson, singing and dancing her way through "The Handwashing Song."

The lyrics: "Thumbies, doing the fingers, clap, (twirl) fingernails,you're done."

McDaniel tells the students it's "the single most valuable

said.

Kittens — all kinds Barn Cats — all kinds

The Calaveras Humane Society does not have a shelter, so adoptable cats are caredfor in foster homes. To view these animals and get contact information, visit

w w w.calaverashumane.org

Students featured in the series include Sam Dicker, Singen Elliott, Aziza Glass and Aria Hill, who graduated in May. The others are Hannah Brodlie, Cristina Bustamante and Dan

Cimino, who are preparing for their second year. Jenny Apostol was the executive producer for the first season, and Nat Geo Wild has optionsfor two more seasons.

The students were paid nominally for their appearances. Glass, 27, said she still hasn't decided if she wants to be a hands-on vet

or a research vet. She's actually taking a break this year post-graduation, volunteering part-time at a clinic in Wailer, Texas, while making up for all the vacations, weekends and h o lidays she missed during school.

She hopes the project gives people a newfound appreciation of veterinarians and how hard they work.

When asked why they want to be veterinarians, most students say some-

thing about their love of animals. That's a must, says the school's interim Dean Lorin Warnick, but a good vet also needs people skills.

"It takes a person who has that connection and likes to work with people because all those animals come with people attached," the dean said.
