Communi rallies to give woman dream wedding reception

By JASON COWAN The Union Democrat

Last month, Julia Jones was chatting wit h T orie Thomas — formerly Torie Escamilla — as she was being fitted for a wedding dressthat was donated after the one she owned was lost in the Butte Fire.

In the conversation, the

co-owner of Sierra Bridal in Sonora found out that Thomas — a Valley Springs resident who was getting ready for a small ceremony at Lake Tahoe with her fiance DJ Thomas within the coming weeks - always wanted a large wedding reception.

In the discussion however, Jones learned that the possibility of a large reception was slim. Thomas and her family were always busy and thought a large ceremony was impractical.

"The more she talked, and the more we realized that they just give, give, give," Jones said. "They just volunteer all the time and they weren't doing anything for themselves because they would give everything they had."

But on Sunday, at the Murphys Historic H otel, Thomas will get the large wedding reception she always wanted. Within the span of a month, Jones was able toorganize a reception that will feature approximately $15,000 worth of donations from throughout

10 years of his life.

Clarence was a member of the Catholic Church in Groveland and the California Fireman's Association. He loved woodworking, camping and outdoor activities an d w a t ching western movies (especially John Wayne movies). He especially enjoyed being at familyget-togethers.

Clarence is survived by his children: sons Ronald Baloun of Menifee and Mitch Baloun of Lake Forest; daughters Renee Pietrok of Yorba Linda and Rochelle Corlett of Thous and Oaks; along w i t h 13 grandchildren and 10 g reat-grandchildren w i t h one on the way.

Clarence is preceded in death by his wife, Shirley Rae Baloun.

A private family graveside service will be held at the Oak Grove Cemetery in Groveland.

out hesitation — something that she says may not have happened in any other community.

" Normally, if I w a s i n Modesto, I might have had to make 50 phone calls and I would have gotten half of that done," Jones said. "But up here, we all know that we give. Everybody knows that I give stuff away. Other people give stuff away. We all know that we do that. We never feel, 'well that person is always asking for something forfree.'We all give and take together. People up here are so willing to work together and h elp w h en needed."

Jones said the reception will receive donations from Mur phys Historic H otel, Lunch Lady Catering in Murphys, Country Flower Hutch in Murphys, Ambitious Photography, Mountain Echo Sound DJs and Sierra Bridal.

The couple did not lose their home from the firethough it was close — but many of the guests that will be in attendance have.

Jones said the r eception is meant tobe a beacon of hope to Thomas and those affected.

"I had to talk to them one day because they said they felt guilty t hat s o many people lost everything and we were giving stuff to them when they didn' t," Jones said. "The fact that so many of theirguests are people that lost stuff. You guys are providing them with hope that thereare people that still do nice things in the world. Soit's okay for you to receivethis iffor nothing else than to pass along hope to yourfriends that did lose everything."

"Our wedding vendors up here, both in Calaveras County a n d Tuo l umne County, are s o a wesome and work together so well," Jones said.

I'm writing to encourage all customers of Tuolumne Utilities District, whether it be for water or sewer services, to attend the Public Meeting on November 17, 2015, in the Board Room at TUDHeadquarters located at18885 Nugget Boulevard in Sonora. This meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m.

Bicycles are being collected for the holiday Bikes for Tykes program, which provides bicycles as Christmas gifts for children who might not otherwise have them.

The bikes are given away during an annual Christmas party at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds.

Ervin Kroeker, 75, of Don Pedro, an avid bicyclist, has been in charge of the program for about 20 years.

Good used hikes can be dropped off t h rough t h e end of November at Sonora Lumber, 730 S. Washington St., Sonora. Kroeker plans a work day from 8 a.m. to noon Dec. 5 at Sonora Lumber to make sure the bikes are clean and in good repair for the party. Volunteers are always needed, Kroeker said.

Call Kroeker at 852-2137 for further information or to make a monetarydonation. All m oney received goes directl y toward buying or repairing hikes.

As a customer of the Utilities District, I have serious concerns about the rate increases which are proposed. In my opinion, the District has not addressed cost reductions which are necessary.

So often we focus on raising revenue, rather than reducing expenses.

/

There are serious difficulties with the unfunded pension liabilities, as well as unfunded health care liabilities for the utility district, which must be properly investigated prior to approval of any rate increases.

YOUR VIEWS Faith can change the world To the Editor: In Mona Charen's deeply cynical article "Democratic Party-Not for Grown-ups," published Oct. 16, 2015, she claims that Bernie Sanders and his party "live in a reality-&ee zone where, if you close your eyes and wish with all your heart, dreams really do come true." Apparently, she would prefer that we not have dreams. However, I believe that if we all come together and have enough faith then we can change the world. It is the Republican party that does not live in reality.

They would prefer to deny the reality of global warming and stick their heads in the sand like an ostrich. Trump spouts outrageous lies as if they are truth. For example, making the claim that the Mexican government intentionally sends its worst criminals across the border to America.

In the first democratic debate, all of the

candidateswere respectful and considerate towards each other, as opposed to the Republican name-calling contests. Intelligent ideas were presented and discussed on how to move this country forward based on a progressive political agenda which includes expanded rights and opportunities for all. Sanders referred to democratic socialist countries like Norway, Denmark, and Sweden as successful examples of countries which have thriving private sectors while guaranteeing a basic floor of economic security for all people as a right of citizenship. His plan would also guarantee the right to education and healthcare.

He would do this by taxing corporations. Currently, corporations pay no taxes. Individuals may be taxed on their earnings, but corporations cannot be taxed. The Citizens United rulinggave them the legal status ofpeople with all the rights of citizenship and none of the responsibilities. This is what needs to change.

In the vision of flying starsand stripes,alarge portion ofAmericans will take place in voting while the realization lingers in the back of their minds that most countries around the world do not enjoy the luxury of &eedom. America is the land of opportunity. Its citizens are ultimately those who control its fate, and in this vision, they understand their influence in the country.

When people once again greet heroes in the streetsand realize the freedoms thatare granted to them, the American flag will fly proud and cast its shadow over each citizen.

This vision will not be shattered by the chaos and corruption that resides within. This vision will once again fill the heart of each American. This vision will once again be the voice of America. This vision will once again be heard around the world. This vision is my vision for America.

Freedom. Liberty. Unalienable rights. Two hundred and thirty-nine years ago, when the founding fathers drafted the Declaration of Independence, these were more than mere words, they were principles worth fighting for.

Now, centuries after our war for popular sovereignty, we have grown &om 13 small and divided colonies, to an economic and military superpower, constantly playing a leading role in the global theater.

Yet, despite these many accomplishments, the remarkable ideals that our nation was founded upon seem to have been lost somewhere along our relatively short, but extraordinary history. No longer is our government and society fully congruent with what the founders of this country envisioned.

In order to reform ourselves so that we can once again be seen as an example that the

rest of the world strives to emulate, we must harken back to the democratic principles that form the foundation of this nation, and which made us exceptional in the first place.

The United States' foreign policy has been one which has undergone numerous ideological shifts since its genesis, and is of crucial importance to not only us as Americans, but the world as a whole.

Should we shift our gaze inward, focusing primarily on domestic issues or gaze internationally? While the answer is completely dependent upon the context of the situation, one thing is clear: Americans cannot continue to allow our foreign policy to be dictated by our energy needs.

Our dependence upon petroleum has caused us to engage in foreign conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, that have been of unimaginable cost, both financially and in terms of human life. Because of this, the United States is no longerviewed as a beacon of&eedom and individual liberty, but rather as an imperialistic power, willing to utilize its superior military

ernment, our institutions, and our actions

throughout history have not been inherently exceptional. The principles and ideals in which this nation was founded upon are. Because of this, I envision an America that is not content with sailing along on the fumes of past greatness, but rather one that is determined to transformtheseidealsinto reality.

citizens, granting Americans the privilege to

to obtain oil, the base of our economic livelihood.

Instead of envisioning the country that currently spends more on foreign aid than any other — over thirty-two billion annually — many perceive America as a nation that is willing to bully its way into other countries strictly for its own economic gain. This negative, though oftentimes unfair perception, has made us more enemies in the last several decades than it has friends. The solution to this problem lies in alternate sources of renewable energy. Not only will this be of immense benefit to ourselves, the environment, and the world, but it will also reduce the amount of economic leverage oil-exporting countries have over us, while enabling our foreign policy to focus primarily on moral issues, such as human rights violations.

Plus, the labor needed to construct the extensive amount of apparatus necessary to support such a shift (solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric plants, etc.) would create thousands of domestic manufacturing jobs, the majority of which have been sold to workers overseas. My vision of America is one in which everyroofiscovered in solarpanels,and every country aspires to imitate us both in our environmental awareness and our aid-centered humanistic foreign policy.

When the Unites States was founded, the concept of popular sovereignty was just that, a concept, having not been actually implemented for over a millennium. With the simple phrase found in the preamble of the constitution "We the People" this democratic idea was put to the test. And for centuries, it performed the revolutionary task of keeping the government an instrument of the people, rather than the other way round.

Yet the key to the success of a democracy, especially on this large a scale, is not only to have a well-intentioned populace, but also a well-informed one. In this last respect, 'We the People" have begun to falter.

Eligible voter turnouts have been on the gradualdecline since the 1990s,and those of us who do vote often times base our decisions off campaign ads, horribly skewed information, and possibly worse of all, unwavering allegiance to a particular political party.

The media plays a significant role in the issue, substituting honest and unbiased information on significant political issues for irrelevant stories and events aimed at increasing views. However, we as citizens of this country are also to blame, by failing to adequately care for the future well-being of a nation which many of our ancestors fought and died to protect.

I envision an American in which every citizen recognizes that though they may never pick up a weapon in her defense, it is their right and duty to defend her from those in government that would act contrary to the public's best interests for their own personal gain.

And doing so can be as simple as approaching debates and issues with an open and rational mind, and remaining actively involved in the political process.

It must be acknowledged that we as Americans are not inherently exceptional. Our gov-

MERCED — Th e f amily of the 18-year-old student who stabbed four people at the University of California, M erced, last week before being killed by police expressed sympathy to the victims, a short statement released Tuesday said.

Faisal Mohammad, a freshman from Santa Clara, California, was a "kind and respectful young man," family members said in their first comments since the attack last Wednesday.

"He was always quiet and humble and excelled in school and academics," according to the statement released through San Jose attorney Daniel Mayfield. "His teachers and friends always spoke well of him."

The family also thanked their friends for support and requested privacy.

Authorities have said that Mohammad had noprevious run-ins with police and no clues in his past behavior to indicate that he would try to kill his classmates as revenge for being kicked out of a study

"The statute requires all three items before any date can be posted," department spokeswoman Kristin Ford said in an email, but there is no requirement that local law enforcement tell the department when an offender is released.

The information is lacking in 92 percent of Megan's Law profiles, the suit says. It asks a judge to order the state to update the website immediately or take it down entirely.

The suit filed by two offenders says the California Department of Justice has not updated the sex offender registry to include the datesoffenders were convicted and released from prison. That has been required under statelaw since2010.

The information is important so citizens can better gauge if an offender is an immediate threat, said Janice Bellucci, president of the advocacy group California Reform Sex Offender Laws. The website includes a current photo and home address for offenders, no matter how old the crime.

Bill bans uantanamo detainees to close the U.S. prisObama expected pledge on in Cuba. But the plan is

to sign though he widely expected to be dead

opposes its ban WASHINGTON (AP)Congress sent P r esident Barack Obama a $607 billion defense policy bill that he is expected to sign even though he adamantly opposes its ban on moving some Guantanamo Bay detainees to U.S. prisons.

The Senateoverwhelmingly approved the bill, 91-3, on Tuesday just days after the House passed the bipartisan measure, 370-58. The legislation authorizes Pentagon spending on military personnel, ships, aircrak and other war-fighting equipment.

The president plans to send Congress a blueprint for fulfilling his campaign

on arrival on Capitol Hill, with Republicans and some Democrats opposed to any move to detain some of the terror subjects on U.S. soil.

The congressional decision to retain a ban on transferring detainees to the U.S. has prompted debate on whether the president will try to bypass Congress and close the prison through executive action. 'We know he's con-

templating it," said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama would sign the bill because it includes provisions critical to protecting the United States. But he said the president's signa-

ture does not change his positionabout the need to close the prison.

To do so, however, Obama would have to ignore the will of Congress.

Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., said if Obama issued an executive order on Guantanamo it "clearly would violate the law."

"This is not something the American people want to see happen with Guantanamo, and so the president needs to follow the law and the law is very clear on this," she said.

The bill imposes restrictions on transferring any of the 112 remaining detainees to the United States or a foreign country. Loudest in congressionalopposition have been the Republican senators from Colorado, Kansas and South Carolina — three

states which have facilities reviewed by a Pentagon assessment team.

Pentagon press secretary

Peter Cook said, "Let's wait to see what the plan finally looks like. The folks who are craRing that plan have been working very hard on this for months.... This is not going to deter the department &om moving forward."

The Senate also passed legislation by 93-0 that provides money to the Defense D epartment

f o r mi l i t a r y

construction, military family housing, base closures and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Like the defense bill, the measure prohibits the administration &om renovating, expanding or construct-

ing facilities in the United States to house detainees from Guantanamo Bay.

Before protests, U. of Missouri Clinton saw decadesof racialtension seeks to COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — This week' s events at th e U n iversity of M i ssouri seemed to unfold rapidly, with little warning. But some students, faculty and alumni say the protests and sudden resignation of the president and chancellor are the culmination of years of racial tension on the state's flagship campus.

The history of racially charged incidentsdates back generations.

When the university denied admission to black law school applicant Lloyd Gaines, the issue led to an influential 1938 Supreme Court decision that helped pave the way for the civil rights movement.

Three decades later, during the unrest of the late 1960s, the Legion of Black Col-

legians emerged atMizzou to press for increased minority representation among students, staff and faculty — a goal student protesters say remains unmet.

And the 2011 suicide of black swimmer Sasha Menu Courey after she was allegedlyraped by several football players led some to question the campus commitment to investigating sexual assaults.

"Who built this university?" asked student government President Payton Head.

"Who was building buildings in 1839" when the school was founded?

"Slavery wasn't abolished until 1865," Head said. "But we don't talk about that history here at the University of Missouri."

The proposed project consists of construction of improvements of up to four new wells. Wells ¹3 and P4 are located on properties owned by the Lake Don Pedro Owners Association and currently operated as El Prado Park; the location of which is shown on the attached Exhibit B map. Wells ¹3 and ¹4 were identified as potential well locations, however initial water quality and water production testing revealed poor water quality and low water production, therefore both Well ¹3 and ¹4 are being held as alternative sites for future development, but due to the immediate water supply emergency and need for additional high producing wells, Wells ¹5 and P6 as shown on the attached Exhibit B were tested and Well ¹5 confirmed to produce an adequate amount of high quality water to proceed with construction. Testing of Well P6 identified high water production and will be the last to be constructed. Wells ¹5 and ¹6 are located on property owned by the Lake Don Pedro Community Services District (District) southeast of the Zarzamora Court and Avenida Central intersection; Assessor's Parcel No. 020-2900090 in Mariposa County. The residential-type wells would be installed with a disturbance footprint of up to approximately 225 square feet per well or a combined total of 900 square feet. The wells would be used to provide emergency water to the District. Power poles and electrical supply system would be supplied to the well sites from a location near the end of Zarzamora Ct, to operate the wells. The project produces no negative environmental effect, therefore the evaluation of IPNpeal ~ Fy other alternatives was not absolutely necessary, nor were there any other viable alternative to evaluate. A no project alternative would have put the community at risk of loss of water supply, so that alternative was also not further considered. Multiple locations were evaluated for construction of the new wells, but due to limited groundwater in the area, the existing project site was selected due to its higher water production potential.

Copies of the Environmental Assessment are available for review at the Rural Development • Modesto Office 3800 Cornucopia Way, Suite E • Modesto, CA 95358, and at the Lake Don Pedro Community Services

Tuolumne County's Pinnell's Carpet One Floor & Home was honored by the Fire Department of New York Tuesday for supporting the Building for America's Bravest program, which builds smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans.

The program is a project of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, an organization founded in memory of a fallen 9/11 firefighter, Stephen Siller.

John Martorana, a FDNY battalion chief, presented owner Dan Pinnell with a shadow box at both the Sonora and Angels Camp locations that features steel from Ground Zero in appreciation for the business's support.

Dan Pinnell, owner of Pinnell's Carpet One Floor & Home in Sonora and Angels Camp, presented Martorana with a check for $1,000 to go toward the program.

He said he was inspired to donate after attending a Carpet One Floor & Home convention.

"It was quite inspiring to see that we as a national company could get behind something and donate money," Pinnell said. "They deserve for us to stand up for them, when they stood up for us."

Throughtheprogram, double,triple orquadruple amputees wounded in recent wars can get smart homes built for them, Martorana said.

The veteran and the family are part of the planning process.

"Each home is custom-made for the veteran's family," Martorana said. "It's not a cookie cutter home....

The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation.

They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h Ouniondemocrat.corn

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 18999 Birch street, Tuolumne, CA 95379 A.P.N.: 0009-190-21-00 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $134,586.97.

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.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a 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 this property.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http: //www.altisource.corn/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeS ervices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2014-04605-CA. 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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: lf you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

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

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

Daughter concerned by mom's eating habits DEAR ANNIE: My mother has never been a big eater, but in the past year, she seems to have developed a seriouseating disorder.At age 62, she skips meals regularly and has shrunk to a bony 90 pounds. Her skin is sagging, her hair is thinning, and she is very irritable.

Mom acts superior about her size and often criticizes other peoples' weight or eating habits. Oddly, she watches cooking shows all day, swaps recipes with me and cooks for everyone else. But she only eats her own "special" food. When I call it to her attention, she denies it and says she' s simply watching what she eats.

I think it's ridiculous that a woman in her 60s is behaving like a teenage girl. I am her only daughter and apparently the only one in the family who realizes what a big deal this is.

My dad and brothers think she's just a health &eak.

I have cut back on my visits because I don't want my young daugh-

tersto be exposed to such a terrible female role model when they already struggle with their own body image issues. I'm also worried that there will be serious health consequences if Mom doesn't start eating normally.

What should I do? — WORRIED AND ANNOYED DEAR WORRIED: Please try to beless annoyed. Your mother sounds anorexic.While you are right that anorexia is more common in teenage girls, it can affect both men and women ofany age.

This is a mental health problem.

Mom's self-worth is tied to how thin she is, and she doesn't recognize that she's in serious trouble.

Anorexia can c a use h eart problems and bone loss, kidney

failureand even death.You cannot forceMom to seek help,but you can get information and suggestions on how to approach her by contacting the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (anad.org) and the National Eating Disorders Association (nationaleatingdisorders.org).

DEAR ANTE: I read the letter &om "Frantic Mom,Nwho desperately wanted help for her middle-aged son who is addicted to drugs and in need of psychiatric help. She said her late husband was a veteran and asked whether she was eligible for benefits.

You recommend several organiza-

High potassiumleveldoesn't mean no bananas DEAR DR. ROACH:I am a 75-yearold man in excellent overall health.

Routine blood work recently showed an elevatedpotassium levelof5.6.For the most part, I follow a vegetarian diet, which includes a number of very healthy foodsthatalsohappen tobehigh in potassium. I exercise regularly. Two years ago, my level was 4.9. My cardiologist stoppedmy metoprolol,as he said that could have pushed up the potassium, and he felt that based on my routine tests it was saf etostop it.Ialsostoppedthe500mg turmeric supplement I was taking, as aprecaution.Itake no other drugs.

Fd hatetohave to giveup bananas and the other fruits that contain potassium, which I eat in moderation as part of my regular diet. Do you think the 5.6 level is cause for concern, and could you make a recommendation?

ANSWER: A potassium level of 5.6 is still in the normal range in my hospital's laboratory. Although metoprolol can raise potassium, it's not one of the medicines that is very likely to do so, such as an ACE inhibitor or spironolactone.

Some people just have a high normal

I would recommend that you not worry too much about the potassium and keep up your diet, including fruits in moderation. In addition to avoiding turmeric, I would recommend that you avoid salt substitutes, since they have very high amounts of potassium.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have two health questions that have been on my mind for months. I have hypothyroidism and amtahng 50mcgofSynthroidevery day. I started this medication in 2001.

I became a vegan in 1990. I ate a lot of soy products, especially tofu. When I learned I had hypothyroidism, I was told

that soy was a big negative, so I immediately stopped eating soy products and added eggs and fish to my diet. My question to you is: Could this be the reason why I am hypothyroid? I asked my doctor, and he says there is nothing in the medical field telling him that soy is a problem. Should I still stay away from

pothyroi dism. Most casesare caused by an auto-immune response against the thyroid. I don't think you need to avoid allsoy protein,but keep to reasonable levels.

Other foods can decrease thyroid hormone absorption, but in most people the efFect isn't enough to be clinically rel-

evant. However, you are on a small dose

I also have heard in the news that when taking Synthroid in the morning, you should wait at least one hour before drinking coff'ee. Is that something I should do? I have been drinking my coffeeevery morning right after Ihave taken my Synthroid pill. What is your opinion on this?

ANSWER: I also have read that soy protein can have adverseeffectson thyroidmetabolism. However,a2006review of 14studiesfound thatsoyhasvery little efFect on metabolism in adults; however, because soy protein can decrease absorption of thyroid hormone (thyroxine, or T3), infants with congenital hypothyroidism are recommended not to take soy-based formula.

Eating lots of soy doesn't cause hy-

Sylvia Plath, a poet, novelist and short-story $ q yp g writer who died in 1963, said, "I have the choice ~~87 o f being constantly active and happy or introspec- f K 9 tively passive and sad."

Bridge defenders have to decide whether to be active — positively trying to win tricks — or passive — sitting back and waiting for declarer to lose tricks. If they adopt the correct approach on any given deal, they will be happy.

In this deal, East has the decision to make.

South is in four spades. West leads the heart three, Dealer: North and East wins with his king. How should he plan Vulnerable: Neither the defense?

Note, though, that his three-heart raise was Opening lead:7 3 pre-emptive. With a good hand, he would have cue-bid two spades.

If East judges it is right to defend passively, he should continue with the heart ace. Here, though, South would ruff in the dummy, draw two rounds of trumps ending in his hand, and take the club finesse. It would lose, but he could claim four spades, one diamond, four clubs and one heart ruff.

East should realize that dummy's club suit is threatening to provide declarer with a host of tricks. East must shift immediately to a low diamond. Here, West will put in his nine to force out dummy's queen. South takes his top trumps and tries the club finesse. East wins and plays another diamond. Declarer wins in the dummy and starts to run the clubs, but West ruffs in and leads a diamond to East's jack. The defenders happily get one trick in each suit.

Easy question: Are the Warriors the best team in the NBA? Yes. The Warriors have the Lawrence O' Brien trophy to prove what they accomplished last season and through a few weeks they' re proving it all over again.

So let's come up with a few deeper, grander questions and a few guessesat the possible conclusions, based on what we' ve seen from this team so far ...

Can the Warriors become the second team in NBA history to win 70 games or more?

If the Warriors did it, all the other contemporaneous rewards

would come along — No. 1 overallseed in the postseason and reestablishment as the prohibitive favorite to repeataschampions.

Thisseason,70 victories absolutely isn't out of reach and we can say this mainly because the W arriors won 67 lastregularseason, and probably left some victorieson thetable.

Of course, the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, led by Michael Jordan, won 72 games, to setthe record.

ESCALON — Bret Harte head coach Jacey Porovich and her Bret Harte Bullfrogs volleyball team sat in the corner of the Escalon gym Tuesday night after losing in four sets to the Cougars in the first round of the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division VI Championships.

The first-year varsity head coach looked at her players and did something that a coach typically doesn't do after a team gets eliminated from the playoffsshe smiled at them.

Some players had tears in their eyes, while others had blank stares on their young faces. Porovich, with a smile on her face, asked her players, "So, what are you guys proud of about this season?"

One-by-one, each player took a turn talking about her favorite part of the 2015 campaign. As each player shared a memory, the sad faces were quickly replaced with smiles as they reminisced about theirtime together as a

The laughter drowned out the tears. Smiles became contagious.

"I know a little bit about both teams we might play, and I feel like we' re ready for them."

It was apparent early Tuesday that Los Banos was not in Sonora's weight class. During warm-ups the teams looked like polar opposites. The Wildcats were smashing sharp, emphatic spikes and most of their passing and serves looked to be on the mark.

'FROGS Continued from PageCl mid-November became just a footnote in an otherwise mem-

However, for sophomore sensation Katie Juarez, it was difficult seeing her five senior teammates play their final match as Bret Harte Bull&ogs.

"I' ve played with these seniors for two years now, and it's justgoing tobehard to see them go," Juarez said, with her eyes still red &om previously shed tears. "I look back and I' ve had so much fun with them. It's just going to be different next year."

By the beginning of the match, it appeared as if Juarez and the rest of her teammates would live to play another day. A back-and-forth first set eventually had Bret Harte leading 24-20. Juarez scored the final point on a soft tip, and the Bull&ogs led 1-0.

"They placed the ball very and they just didn't make a lot of errors," said Escalon head coachKayla Kootstra of Bret Harte's play in the first set.

"We just couldn't get ahead and theydid a goodjob ofexecuting."

But the No. 6 Cougars didn' t let the loss keep them down.

Escalon started the second set on a 7-0 run, and Porovich called a timeout to calm down her team.

Down 24-20, the Bull&ogs went on a 4-0 run to tie the game with junior Christine Lora leading the way at the service line.

"I knew that we had to push forward and that we could not give up," Lora said.

With the game tied at 25, Escalon would once again take the lead, and Bret Harte tied it back up. With the Cougars on top 28-27, a loose ball was just out of the reach of a diving Elise Sanzeri, and the Bull&ogs fantastic comeback came up just short at 29-27.
