vious year, according to the most recent FBI report. But property crimes decreased. In Sonora, crime across the board increased, Sonora Police Chief Mark Stinson said. The largest increase in the city was burglaries. In 2014, there were 128 burglaries, and 113 in 2013. Stinson said it is hard to say why his department had an increase in burglaries, but noted that Sonora is a more populous area of the county. 'This counts vehicle burglariestoo,"he said."We get a lotof thefts atthe parking lotsoftheshopping centers." One example, Stinson said, is people coming out and finding their items such as cell phones and laptops had been stolen.

Ignition set for unburned fuel in Rim Fire area By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

P rescribed burns in t h e Rim Fire area are scheduled to begin sometime this month depending on weather and air quality conditions, the U.S. Forest Service announced.

Piles of cut wood and wood debris from post-Rim Fire recovery operations will be ignited across as many as 5,600 acres in the Mi-Wok and Groveland Ranger Districts of the Stanislaus National Forest this winter through spring 2016, according to Forest Service spokeswoman Rebecca Garcia. The 402-square-mile Rim Fire — the t h ird-largest wildfire in California history — burned 55 percent of the Groveland Ranger District in 2013. "The fire was primarily on the Groveland Ranger District," Garcia said. Another 310 acres of "jackpot" burns will be ignited in blocks throughout the winter and spring from the Buck Meadows area to Cherry Lake, within the Rim Fire footprint, using low-intensity

Snow forecast at higher elevations Union Democrat staff

A change in the weather is on the horizon, and a new storm system will bring muchneededrain to the Mother Lode by Monday, according to the National Weather Service. Today will be sunny with a high in the low to mid-60s and lows tonight near 50 degrees. Clouds will begin to move in late Saturday and increase Sunday and into Monday morning. Showers and thunderstorms are likely by Monday afternoon. Snow levels will start about 8,000 feet. Highs through the weekend will be in the low to mid-60s in the foothills and the low to upper 50s at the higher elevations. Tem-

peratures will cool Sunday night into Monday — with foothill highs in the low 50s and lows near 40 — and snow levels will lower to about 4,500 feet. An accumulation of 4 to 7 inches of snow is expected at pass levels with 10 inches possible on the higher peaks, the NWS stated. "The entire system is coming from the Gulf of Alaska and after Monday will be moving south," National Weather Service spokesman Travis Wilson said.

ACT

This is a rebuttal to an editorial piece that was written by neo-conservative Linda Chavez. Her words show us that Ms. DPmeniC Chavez is a TOKh b itter p e r son, seeking her revenge against unions and the American worker for her not being confirmed as Secretary of Labor in 2001. The problems we hear so often from the vanishing middle class are easily understood. But the reasons for those problems seems to have escaped most of you. If you work for a living, or if you get up each morning and spend your daylooking for a job, you are a member of the American workforce. As a member of the American workforce, you are partof organized labor.You may not be a dues paying, card carrying union member, but you owe much of what little you receive for your labor, to those who do. If you work at Walmart, most receive a minimum wage — it is not enough to survive on, but it is more than you would be getting had it not been for union members and offi cers lobbying on your behalf. Most supervisors and managers are not union workers, but most enjoy all the benefits and pay that were obtained by orga-

CeE

ggg

nized labor. Benefits such as 40-hour work

week, weekends off/fi ve day workweek, overtime pay, sick leave, holiday pay, paid vacation, health care insurance, and dozens of otherbenefits. These worker benefits were not just given to you by some benevolent employers, workers paid for you to have these. Other people got bloodied, went without while on strike, lobbied pro-labor politicians, and even went to jail — all for you and your family. American workers thrived when union membership peaked. There was a time, from 1943 until1962, when the American workers share of income was equal to that amount going to the top 10 percent. This coincided with the growth in unionized workers. One out of every three workers during that time belonged to a labor union. Today, only 12 percent of American workers belong to a union. And today, 75.4 percent of all wealth is controlled by the richest 10 percent of the people. You have only yourselves to blame. Yes folks, they did do a number on you — and you fell for it. So many of you became Reagan Democrats. Even my union, the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO), along with the Teamsters got sucked into endorsing Reagan. PATCO was promised, in writing, that for their support Air traffic controllers would receivemuch of what they had been fi ghting for years — better pay, modern equipment, fewer hours, and more controllers. We fell for it, after Reagan won, he disappeared and then destroyed our union.

The Teamsters fared slightly betterthey just had their membership drop by 50 percent from 2 million in 1976 to 1 million in 1987. The good news is, today, the Teamsters and the Air T r affic Controllers Union (NATCA) are both alive and doing very well. That gives me hope that maybe some day the rest of the workforce will wake up. The bottom line: Vote responsibly, learn the facts (not the hype), and do what is best for your family and your fellow workers. There is no trickle down. There never was and there never will be. There was redistribution of wealth. They got your money and you got bupkis. Most importantly, stop blaming other workers for your problems. Vote responsibly and you will soon see things changing in your favor. Honor labor. Domenic Torchia was an organizer,

Christie's 'viral' vid cheap shot at fellow GOP "My mother was a s moker," Chris Christie told a New Hampshire audience in a video that has gone viral.

independent studies reprinted by the Department of Labor show rising minimum wages do NOT hurt jobs. Meanwhile, the free market can't tolerate labor unions keeping wages growing with the economy. Without labor representation, exporting jobs goes unchallenged while the same corporations get tax cuts, and subsidies. It's nuts! Tax cuts magnify the problem; take declining college subsidies. Forty-five years ago at UC Berkeley books and tuition cost $900 a year; today it's $18,000. High school students are paid sub-poverty wages at McDonald's, while expected to pay their way through college. In Denmark, McDonald's pays $20 an hour and in England, Wal-Mart pays union wages, but not in America. Healthcare and minimum wage losses total$28,000 a year, enough to go to college, raise a family, or buy a home. Instead, deregulation redistributes wealth to the "job creators" who keep it, while our citizens and communities become poorer.

give them such benefits as WIC and Head Start. This is fatuous. In the first place, no level of social welfare support for children can morally outweigh licensed killing. Surely that's what the unborn would say, if they had a voice. Second, the cliche about pro-lifers being indifferent to babies after birth is utterly fictional. This country boasts more than 2,000crisis pregnancy centers that feature support for pregnant women and provide aid during the first year of life (and sometimes beyond) for their children. Christians, who comprise the majority of pro-l ife Americans, are more than twice as likely to adopt children as non-Christians. People who attend religious services at least once a week (again, I'm assuming considerable overlap with pro-life views) are also more likelyto serve as foster parents, volunteers of all kinds and blood donors. They are also more likely to donate to charities than their secular counterparts. How does that possi bly translate into not caring about the "whole life ? Christie doubtless knows all of this, which makes his cheap shot at his fellow pro-lifers especially disappointing.

fensive than the first. "I'm prolife," he proclaimed. "And I believe that if you' re going to be pro-life you have to be pro-life for the whole life, not just for the nine months in the womb. It'seasy to be pro-life for the nine months you' re in the womb; they haven't done anything to disappoint us yet.... But when they get out, that's when it gets tough." This is a tired and familiar charge from the left. They are fond of saying that pro-lifers only care about babies before they' re born and not after. Good liberals, by contrast, may be fine Mona Charen is a newspaper with dismembering unborn ba- columnist, political analyst and bies, but once they' re out of the author oftwo books on American womb, boy, they' re determined to politica

Nations unsure bomb causedcrash

LONDON — Five days after a Russian jetliner broke apart high above the Sinai, Russia and Egypt on Thursday dismissed Western suggestions that a terrorist bomb may have caused the crash that killed 224 people, saying the speculation was a rush to judgment. British Prime Minister David Cameron, who spoke to the presidents of both countries in the very public dispute, said he had grounded all British fiights to and &om the Sinai Peninsula because of "intelligence and information" indicating a bomb was the probable reason a Metrojet Airbus A321-200 plane had crashed Saturday. British and U.S. officials, guided primarily by intelligence intercepts and satellite imagery, have suggested gingerly it might have been the work of the extremist Islamic State group and its affiliates in the Sinai.

ov.re Uese researc onoi SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown last year directed state oil and gas regulators to research, map and report back on any mining and oil drilling history and "potential for future oil and gas activity" at the Brown family's private land in Northern California, state records show. After a phone call from the governor and follow-up requests &om his aides, senior staffersin the state's oiland gas regulatory agency over at leasttwo days produced a 51-page historical report and geologicalassessment, plus a personalized satelliteimaged geological and oil and gas drilling map for the area around Brown's family

ranchland near the town of Williams. State regulators labeled the map they did for Brown "Oil and Gas Potential In West Colusa County," and "JB Ranch," referring to the Brown family land in Colusa County. Ultimately, the regulators told the governor,prospects were "very low" for any commercial drilling or mining at the 2,700-acre property, which has been in Brown's family for more than a century. Through the state's open records law, The Associated Press obtained the research that state regulators carried out for Brown, and the emails among senior oil and

gas regulatorsscrambling to fulfill the governor's request. Gov. Jerry Brown's office on Thursday for the first time agreedtocomment directlyon Brown's personal request to

state regulators, with Brown spokesman Gareth Lacy saying Brown was interested in his ranch's geology, "not drilling for oil and gas." However, Lacy did not immediately respond to a question on why the memos

and map by state regulators referred to the Brown family ranch'soiland gas potential, and outlined the ranch's drilling history and prospects. Lacy andstateoilregulatorssaid thework was alegal and proper use of public resources — and no more than

the general public would get. Asked Oct. 27 for examples of similar drilling and mining research by state oiland gas regulators for private individuals, Lacy provided two examples Thursday of oil and gas research for public bodies,rather than private individuals — the city of Los Angeles and the Santa Barbara Channelkeeper nongovernment organization. The third example given by the governor's spokesman was made up of nine pages of drilling records provided to what was identified only as a private property owner, whose name was redacted, and advised that future drilling in his area appeared unlikely.

The apology &om Ran Baratz, issued by Netanyahu's office, cast a cloud over Monday's visit. Netanyahu and Obama have had a chilly relationship over the years, and the meeting is meant in part to repair ties after repeated clashes over the U.S.-led nuclear deal with Iran.

theoly MIAMI (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Thursday stood by hisbelief that Egypt's great pyramids were built by the biblical figure Joseph to store grain, an assertion dismissed by experts who say it'saccepted science they were tombs for pharaohs. Video posted online Wednesday by Buzzfeed News shows Carson explaining his theory 17 years ago at a Michigan college affiliated with his Seventh-day A d ventist Church. In the video, Carson says: "My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramidsin order to store grain." He was referring to the Old Testament story of Joseph predicting famine and advising the pharaoh tostoresurplusfood. Carson said that's more likely than the accepted archaeological conclusion that the massive structures were built as tombs for pharaohs. At a book signing Thursday in Florida, Carson stood by his statement. Neither Carson's church nor any other major Jewish or C h r istian sect shares his beliefabout the pyramids' origins. Jodi Magness, a specialist in biblical archaeology at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, said she knows of no scholar or archaeologist who questions that the pyramids were used as royal tombs.

The Visitors Bureau sponsors an award dinner each year to recognize businesses for innovation in tourism. The 2015 event was held Wednesdaynight.Since 2012, when Boulton was named to lead the organization, the number honored has increased. Among those honored this week was Gold Country Roasters for the quality of its coffee and for introducing story slam events. "I feltlike one award does not cover enough," Boulton said of the ceremony, which now recognizes 40 cumulative businesses nominated for awards in six categories.

Dyken called the traditional method of school discipline with the most troubled studentsthe "schoolto prison pipeline." Most disruptive children have experienced trauma or are experiencing it right now, and more negative reinforcement just pushes them further into themselves, where fight or Right instincts kick in. Students who've experienced adverse childhood trauma like homelessness, foster care, abuse in the home to themselves or others, poverty, hunger, etc., don't respond to traditional forms of discipline that "neuro-typical" children respond to, Dyken said. Students who have experienced trauma exhibit behavior like hypersensitivity, hypervigilance and own shut down and tune out when faced with traditional school discipline methods, Dyken said. Jamestown School has a higher rate of students in poverty than other schools in the county. Living in poverty is stressful for a child for a number of reasons, including having parents who are stressed, being hungry, not having basic necessities, being homeless or moving around a lot and more. The median household income in Jamestown is $28,692 compared with $60,190 in California, Dyken said. About 10 percent of students in the district are homeless or in non-permanent living situations, but the rate has been as high as 30 percent in Dyken's 12-year tenure with the district. Dyken studied Jamestown School records and found that, of 327 students, 250 had experiencedone or more adverse factors.These factorsincluded homelessness, foster care, learning English as a second language or beingeligible forfreeorreduced-costlunches. sWe have a lot of factors we can look at and say we have a high likelihood of kids in trauma," Dyken said. Dyken went through 2014-15 school year disciplinerecords for the district and found there were 630 referrals to the "refi ection room." The reflection room is the new name

tributions and actions. Behavioral issues are worked out through peer mediation and, instead of detention, the school is looking into ways to have the students do something positive, engaging and meaningful, that would help the school or others. "Everywhere we' re highlighting what you do right instead of disciplining what you' re doing wrong," Dyken said. So far, it seems to be making a difference. During the first quarter of this school year, 100 referralswere made which, if projected out to the whole year, would be 400 referrals, compared with 630 last year. The training in January will further the school's goal of reaching traumatized children before they get too far down a negative path. Studies have shown that about half of kids who get to high school with three or more suspensions in their life end up dropping out, Dyken said. If a student gets suspended one time in their first year of high school they are twice as likely to drop out than others with-

for detention/focus room/in-house suspen-

sion. The 630 incidents involved 135 students, which means many students were getting numerous referrals. Of the 135 students, 49 were currently or had been in foster care, homeless or had an out-of-home placement. Those 49students accounted for 358 refer-

out suspensions.

Dyken said studies show kids with disabilities (both physical and academic) and kids of colorare suspended at four times the rate of white peers for the same offenses. Dyken said it's a common misperception that kids can "just get over" trauma with no help or intervention and that the traditional attitude has been "buck up buttercup." There's a fear out there that if you don' t harshly punish and discipline them then something worse will happen, he said. The trauma informed training will help "keep them in their seats," Dyken said. The recent viral video of a South Carolina school resource officer physically dragging a female student out of her seat demonstrates the traditional view of how "problem" kids are to be dealt with, Dyken said. However, that student, whose ofFense was that she wouldn't give the teacher her phone, was brand new at the school, and people didn't know that her mother had just died and she was in foster care, Dyken said. In a recent lawsuit in Compton, near Los

Angeles, a judge ruled that trauma could cause a disability for a child, which could mean that schools would have to offer support services comparable to what they offer for other disabilities, Dyken said. "At some point, trauma-informed practices will be the norm at schools," he said.

49ers sign pair of RBsfor Sunday SANTA CLARA (AP) — Shaun Draughn knowssomethingabout making quick adjustments. The San Francisco 49ers became his eighth team in the NFL after he signed a deal on Monday. Draughn and fellow running back Pierre Thomas, who was signedTuesday, were brought in after Reggie Bush went on injured reserve and with questions remaining regarding the health of Carlos Hyde, who missed practice Thursday, and rookie Mike Davis, who broke his hand in the loss to the St. Louis Rams last Sunday. They' ll be expected to give a struggling 49ers offense a boost. The 49ers rank last in total offense and scoring offense and next-to-last in pass offense. Their one saving grace is the ability to run the ball, though the Rams held San Francisco to 38 yards.

Marleau, Sharks defeat Panthers SAN JOSE(AP)Patrick Marleau scored a highlight-reel goal for his 997th career point and the San Jose Sharks beat the Florida Panthers at home for the first time in nearly 10 years, 5-2 onThursday night. Brent Burns, Joonas Donskoi, Mare-Edouard Vlasic and Chris Tierney also scored for the Sharks, who had lost four straight in their own building against Florida since winning on Dec. 8, 2005, in Joe Thornton's second home game with the franchise. Alex Stalock made 31 saves to earn his first win of the season as San Jose won for just the third time in nine games. Marleau moved a step closer to the 1,000-point milestone with a memorable goal early in the second period. He took the puck at center ice and skated in on Alex Petrovic in the offensive zone.M arleau danced around Petrovic and then, while being hooked, dragged the puck around Montoya for a goal that made it 3-1.

Moments later, the game was delayed and the referees ran up to Reel and gave him a warning regarding the languageand profanity being shouted from the stands. Reel turned to the stands, put his hands in the air and yelled, "Hey, no bad language." "I told the ref that I hadn' t heard any cussing because I had been engaged with the game," Reel said.

BRIEFS Ex-Raider DEguilty of 3 men's murders LOS ANGELES — A former defensive end with the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders has been found guilty of murdering three men after his retirement from the NFL.

A Los Angeles County jury found 48-year-old Anthony Wayne Smith guilty of three murder charges Thursday. The jury deadlocked on a fourth murder count.

Smith's attorney, Michael Evans, says he' ll appeal the c onvictions. He says the evidence was insufficient, and there's no

credible motive. Smith was convicted in the shooting deaths of two brothers in 1999 and the stabbing death of another man in 2001. Prosecutors say all three had been kidnapped and tortured. Smith faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. Smith spent seven years

Giants decline 2016 options on OFs Aoki, Byrd

Kenseth loses final

suspensionappeal

CHARLOTTE, N.C. A final appeals officer rejected an appeal by Matt Kenseth on Thursday after he challenged his two-race suspension by NASCAR for intentionally wrecking Joey Logano over the weekend during the race at Martinsville. Kenseth will miss the next two races, at Texas and Phoenix, and be eligible to return for the -

Nov. 22 season finale at

Homestead-Miami Speedway. Final appeals officer Bryan Moss did reduce his probation period from six months until the end of this year. Moss' decision is binding. The case was an interesting one for NASCAR, which has not been consistentover the years in punishing drivers who exact revenge. Kenseth was

spun out three races ago by Logano as both raced for the win at Kansas, ruining a chance to advance in NASCAR's championship playo6's. On Sunday, he deliberately crashed into Logano at Martinsville and Logano lost a shot at an automatic berth in the final four.

Kenseth was suspended and put on six months of probation. Danica Patrick was fined $50,000 for wrecking another driver in retaliation on Sunday.

Rays, Mariners swap 6 players in trade SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners and Tampa Bay Rays didn't wait long to pull off the first significanttradeofthe offseason. F our days after t h e World Series ended, the teams completed a sixplayer swap T hursday night. Seattle sent infielder-outfielder Brad Miller, first baseman Logan Mor-

rison and pitcher Danny Farquhar to Tampa Bay for pitchers Nathan Karns and C.J. Riefenhauser, and minor league outfielder Boog Powell. Miller, Morrison and Farquhar played extensive roles with the Mariners last season, but won't be part of the dub's future under new general manager Jerry Dipoto and manager Scott Servais. Dipoto said discussions with Tampa Bay began right afler the conclusion ofthe regular season and less than two weeks after Dipoto took the job. " We' ve talked to t h e Rays pretty consistent ly closeto the last four weeks," he said. Tampa Bay gets experienced players, while Seattle is banking on potential. Last winter, Powell was

NFL Raiders looking to make statement vs. Steelers PITTSBURGH (AP) Oakland gave the Pittsburgh Steelers fits during the Raiders' decade-plus run as a comically hot mess. Imagine the issues that might crop up now that Oakland might be ... good? A victory on the road Sunday would give the Raiders (4-3)their best record at the midway point since 2001 and serve notice that first-year head coach Jack Del Rio's rebuilding program is well ahead of schedule. 'This is a different team," Oakland running back Latavius Murray said. "I won't say completely different, but there are new faces and the atmosphere has changed around here. It's great what we have going on now, but we want to

Though it would be easy for players to lament of the outcome of the season, for Ulvevadet, complaining accomplishes nothing. "You can't sit there and wish that you had plays back or that you had the game over," Ulvevadet said. 'You have to turn the page and move on to the next game. It's all about the next play, the next game, the next practice. You can't sit there and feel sorry for yourselves. You have to keep rolling and try to play better."

Two of the Bears five losses were

by one point. Summerville dropped a 57-56 double overtime game to Bradshaw Christian. Three weeks later against Bret Harte, the Bears lost28-27 on a missed 2-point conversion. What would this season have looked like if the Bears had a healthy Fulkerson and McCready, and were able to win the one point games? "I think that with Jake healthy, we are a strong 7-3," said senior tight end Cole Brewster. "I think we definitely beat Bradshaw Christian. Jake is worth two touchdowns in every game. Also, his presence on defense would have made a huge difference." Even with all that has gone wrong for Summerville, it still has an outside shot at making the playofFs. But for that to happen, it must beat Linden tonight on the road. The Bears get one of their walking wounded back tonight. Ulvevadet suffered a concussion two weeks ago, and missed the Calaveras game.

McCann knows that with his size and the position he plays, he has to work harder than most players. He has always had a strong work ethic, but it has been the help of linebackers coach Dave Seawell that has made McCann the player he is. "Coach Seawell tells me that Ihave to play perfect every play," McCann said. "I have to be in the right position and I have to know what guy is going where and how I can gain leverage over the offense.

decades. The players were reminded of that fact Wednesday night afier practice. With a win, Calaveras will secure second place in the MLL and be in position to possibly host a playofF game. A loss would put Amador tied with the Redskins at 4-2 in the MLL, but would have a betteroverallrecord than Calaveras at 7-3.

In its last three games, Calaverashas outscored its opponents 123-34. The Redskins will need to slow down Amador's Dylan Thetford, the speedy running back that has rushed for 864 yards, 14 TD's, and averages 9.2 yards per carry.

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 h©uniondemocrat.corn

PUBLIC NOTICE

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the BOARD OF SUPERVISORS of the COUNTY OF TUOLUMNE, State of California, will conduct a PUBLIC HEARING for the purpose of soliciting citizens' views to consider submission of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The total grant request is $2,000,000. The proposed activity is Drought Lateral Funding.

The Board will also solicit citizen's views to set priorities for the potential use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program income Reuse Funds as possible supplemental projects to beincluded as part of a 2016 CDBG application. All allocations must be approved by the State Department of Housing and Community (HCD). These allocations will be in addition to any projects selected for the 2016 CDBG Notice of Funding Availability which were discussed at a public hearing on September 1, 2015. Citizen participation is encouraged throug out the grant process, the requirements for which are explained in Section 7080 of the State Community Development Block Grant program regulations. The major CDBG activity categories are homeownership assistance, housing rehabilitation, community facility and public work projects, business assistance and microenterprise activities, planning studies and public service programs. Eligible activities paid for with state CDBG funds must meet one or more of the three national objectives listed in CDBG federal statutes as follows: benefit to low income households or persons; elimination of slums and blight; or meeting urgent community development need (a need from a state or federally declared disaster). Interested citizens, civic organizations and citizen groups are encouraged to express their opinions and ideas at this hearing. Based on a federal Final Rule change effective July 1, 2014, Program Income Reuse Funds (Pl) must be used prior to requesting a draw of grant funds from any active contract. Also as of July 1, 2014, grantees will be allowed to add "Supplemental Activities" to new applications for funding. This will allow awarded grant funds that have been supplanted by Pl to be used for programs and projects identified by the grantee. Since the requirement of using Pl first will likely result in contract funds being "left over" in the contract,"left over" funding will roll to the grantee's Supplemental Activities, allowing the grantee an opportunity to complete additional CDBG eligible activities so that they do not lose the awarded funds due to having Pl on hand. The County anticipates that. the total amount of CDBG Program Income Reuse Funds available maybe up to $300,000 over the next 3 years.

The Board will also consider an update the guidelines for the County's CDBG Business Loan Program. Citizen participation is encouraged throughout the grant process, the requirements for which are explained in Section 7080 of the State Community Development Block Grant Program regulations.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The saledate 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.

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary's bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee's Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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. 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.

New mother-in-law hurt lack o thanks DEAR ANNIE: My 28-year-old son, "Jack," was married six weeks ago. He and his bride have known each other since high school, so I thought I knew her pretty well. Her parents paid for the majority of the wedding, and during the planning, I made myself available for any task that came my way, offering to take care of many odds and ends. My threebest friends gave the bride an elaborate shower at my home. My brother volunteered to become certified to perform the ceremony and they eagerly accepted. It was a destination wedding, so we all had to set aside a few days for the event. My husband and I went there two days early to help set up and to assist in any way possible without butting in too much. Everything was going well until the dayaRer the wedding, when the bride stopped all communication with me. Before then, she would call and text, and often ask to get together

Annie's Mailbox to do fun things. She even asked for my opinion. Now, nothing. I have never been a clingy mother to any of my sons, and I am baffled by this. Am I wrong to think she should have called a few days after the wedding to thank us for everything we did andmaybe ask ifwe had a good time? I don't expect a reward for our

help, but what happened to common courtesy? Maybe a little show of appreciation? I' ve seen my son a couple of times since the wedding, though there has been no mention of the es-

trangement. What did I do to turn her against me like that? — HURT MOTHERIN-LAW DEAR HURT: First of all, both the brideand groom should have

thanked you foryour help, but not all couples think this is necessary. Many assume that helping (and paying) is the parents' responsibility and requires no expressionof appreciation. They are wrong,but we hope you will let that go. The more serious problem is the bride'ssudden lack ofcommunication. Have you been texting her? Calling her? Did you tell her what a beautiful wedding it was and that you are so happy she is your daughter-inlaw? You should be doing these things instead of waiting for her. If she still refuses to communicate, talk to your son and ask what's going on. DEAR ANNIE: I am writing in response to "Lonely, Not Lusting," the widow in her 80s who went on a date with a man who groped her afterward. Now she doesn't know how to stop the man from calling her. Many years ago, I worked in a

bank and befriended a widow who was also in her 80s. "Mrs.G." con6ded in me about a similar date she once

had. She told me that at the end of the date, the man kissed her and put his hand on her breast. She looked him squarely in the eye and said, "That ship has sailed. Sorry. I am not interested." And that was that. It's short, simple and to the point. — MRS. G'S YOUNG FRIEND DEAR FRIEND: Not everyone has the presence of mind to come up with an appropriate phrase when surprised. We' ll hope our readers will remember thisone. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy

Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Today in history Today is Friday, Nov. 6, the 310th day of 2015. There are 55 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Nov. 6, 1860, former illinois congressman Abraham Lincoln defeated three other candidates for the presidency: John Breckinridge, John Bell and Stephen Douglas. On this date: In 1928, in a first, the results of Republican Herbert Hoover's presidential election victory over Democrat Alfred E. Smith were flashed onto an electric wraparound sign on the New York Times building. In 1934, Nebraska voters approved dissolving their two-chamber legislature in favor of a nonpartisan, single (or "unicameral" ) legislative body, which was implemented in 1937. In 1944, British official Lord Moyne was assassinated in Cairo, Egypt, by members of the Zionist Stern gang. In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower won re-election, defeating Democrat Adlai E. Stevenson. In 1962, Democrat Edward M. Kennedy was elected Senator from Massachusettss. In 1977, 39 people were killed when the Kelly Barnes Dam burst, sending a wall of water through Toccoa Falls College in Georgia.

In 1990, about one-fifth of the Universal Studios backlot in southern California was destroyed in an arson fire. In 2012, President Barack Obama was elected to a second term of office, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

North used Stayman before putting his partner into three no-trump. West led a fourth-highest club two. Declarer started with only three top tricks: one spade and two clubs. (I do not remember another three-no-trump contract with so few instant winners.) He could establish four diamond tricks, but still needed a couple of heart winners as well. If East had the heart ace, the timing was not that critical, but with West having that ace, South had to be careful. Declarer, to retain his only guaranteed hand entry, took the first trick with dummy's king and attacked diamonds. East won the second round and returned a club. South took that trick, cashed his diamonds, discarding two spades and one heart from dummy, then attacked hearts. West could win with his ace and take two club tricks, but declarer had the
