zation dedicated to helping the county's homeless, have located33 veterans over the pastseveralyearswho areliving in shelters, encampments or temporary situations with family and friends.

So far, the organization has been able to get only four of them into permanent housing through charitable programs specifically targeted at reducing the number of veterans living on the streets.

"We havealloftheir paper-

work, and a lot of them qualifyfor it,but there's no place to put them," Hazel Mitchell said.

Many of the homeless veterans range in age from 25 to 70-plus, including some with children as young as 4 who are also homeless.

Past homeless head counts conducted in the county found far fewer than 33 homeless veterans, Mitchell said, which See VETERANS / Back Page

Since moving to Tuolumne County in February, veterans Samantha (left) and William Jones, have struggled to find housing for their family, which includes sons A.J. Lacuesta, 5, and Dominic Lacuesta, 7 (not pictured).

By GUY McCARTHY The Union Democrat

People who want to try to walk and pull themselves to the top of Half Dome now haveincreased odds ofgetting a permit to do it, because rangers are putting up the cables three weeks early this year due to lack of snow.

That means the day-use permit system that allows as many as 250 people a day to attempt the hike to Half Dome's summit is going to kick in this Saturday. Reservations for permits for May 23 through Oct. 12 were distributed by lottery in March.

The typical day trip up Half Dome involves a 14-mile to 16-mile roundtrip walk from the trailhead at Happy Isles.

The final push up Half Dome is about 400 feetof braided steel cables, stanchions and wood slats.

W ith the early cable setup this year, anyone who wants to try Half Dome before May 23 now has a chance to enter a daily lottery — 48 hours in advance of a possible summit attempt — to get a day-use permit. People can apply for twoday-in-advance permits to ascend the cables between May 2 and May 22 online at www.recreation.gov or by calling 877444-6777.

For example, to apply for a lottery chance at a permit to try a day hike up Half Dome on May 2, people must enter the lottery between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. Thursday, and the lottery results will be available at 6 a.m. May 1. After Thursday, the application period will be between 12:01 a.m. and 1 p.m. each day.

After May 22, as many as 50 permits per day will be available by lottery through the same two-day-in-advance setup, said Yosemite spokesperson Kari Cobb.

Two separate fees are collected in the lotterypermit process:

In i OLl Thousands of Tuolumne and Calaveras County residents have a front row seat to history unfolding, and decisions that could seriously affect the state's future.

The drought has pushed once wonky conversations about how water will be allocated to the forefront, as competinginterestsjockey for a spot at the start ofthe line when it comes to access.

We' re one of the main beachheads in this evolving water war, as the Central Sierra is a critical water source for the whole state (the Stanislaus and Tuolumne River watersheds alone provide 4 percent of the state's farm and drinking water each year — a figure which does not include the Cosumnes, Calaveras, Mokelumne, or Merced rivers).

Locally, the first rumblings this year were heard in early spring, when the owner-operators of Tulloch Reservoir said they would have to drain the lake by summer to meet

control Rood waters. Existing reservoirs are so low now there is little imminent danger they will overfiow in the foreseeablefuture.Sowhy notspend themoney earmarked for flood control on building innovative new desalination plants, a tactic that would leave California far better off in future droughts?

Essentially, Brown and the Legislature are focusing on old technology to solve new problems, a criticism also leveled at them over the high speed rail project, which will use 1970s-era technology rather than exploring newer ideas like magnetic levitation and the "hyperloop" suggested by Tesla Motors founder Elon Musk.

But Brown insists that History shows

Leaving farmers' ground water out of the

Homeowners along the lake shore complained this would ruin their home values and the economy of nearby Copperopolis, which relies heavily on an infiux of lake-driven summer tourism and also gets some water from the lake.

Several people locally were critical of these residentsnot the thirsty San Joaquin County almond farmers, the bureaucrats at least outwardly hoping to help a handful of oceanbound fish, or the cities and farmers even farther downstream in Fresno and Southern California who benefit from the remaining water that hits the delta and is pumped south.

A common refrain: Those Tulloch Lake people with their "million dollar homes" should just suck it up.

This was a misunderstanding of the situation, however, since it was really a fight between three variously privileged groups. It was not just about well-off Tulloch retirees, but also land rich San Joaquin Valley farmers, and powerful Central and Southern California economic interests.

A second front in the drought-fueled water wars is starting to take shape at Pinecrest Reservoir.

Not unlike Tulloch, Pinecrest is a very popular summer vacation destination. It's surrounded by exclusive homes (actually, high-six-figure vacation cabins). And there are also threats of that lake being lowered, although not drained.

A little background: Pinecrest is owned and operated by the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. It's part of a hydroelectric project straddling the middle and south forks of the Stanislaus River. Pinecrest is also a critical part of the Tuolumne Utilities District's water-storage system which serves44,000 county residents(thedistrictalso getswater stored in PG&E's downstream Lyons Reservoir and from Phoenix Lake).

In orderto geta federallicensetooperate its Stanislaus River power project, PG&E had to promise various gov-

But the rationale behind the single largest part of the package is fundamentally contradictory.

Brown says California must ready for new and lasting, drier realities, then bases the most expensive part of his plan on weather patterns he previously said are most likely things of the past.

Authorized spending on all this now comes to $1.7 billion, including almost $700 million Brown proposed and the Legislature approved lastyear,m ostofit not yet spent.

It certainly makes sense to assist the most drought-stricken communities, as the package does with more than $14 million to better purify existing but polluted groundwater supplies and to truck water into those areas. No one complains, also, about more than $40 million for food and other relief for citizens and cities with lost jobs and tax revenues because local farms have fallowed many thou-

order, of course, exposes the weakness of the ball yhooed underground water regulations Brown signed into law last year — a law that will lack teeth for more than 10 year.

This all leaves plenty to question. One big question is why the plan includes only about $270 million — just over 15 percent of the package funding — for helping develop new sources of fresh water, including innovative desalination methods other than the hyper-expensive and power-sucking reverse osmosis technique now in use in a few places. Brown has not yet spoken about that.

But he has talked about why he included $660 million for new flood control projects — essentially building dams and reservoirs and lining some streams with concrete, a la the Los Angeles and Santa Ana rivers, where activists regularly push to remove concrete and return

The governor cited the danger of "extreme weather events," caused by climate change, even though the only changes so far in California's weather fiom global warming havebeen extended dry periods. "All of a sudden, when you' re all focused on drought, you can get massive storms that flood through these channels and overflow and cause havoc," he said during a news conference.

But the state already has an extensive system of flood control channels and huge reservoirsdesigned to capture and

but say so. Don't sell them as something quite different.

All of which means that as with most government spending and p rojects, there's a lot to like in the governor's measures —but also a lot that needs a harder, more critical look than the Legislature gave it while rubber-stamping the entire package.

ernment agencies and lake property and business owners

that it would maintain a level suitable for boating, fishing, swimming, etc. between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The m agic number: about 5,608 feetabove sea level.

In the past four years of drought, the state has granted PG&E and, by extension, TUD, exceptions to the lake level requirement. But with long-range forecasts predicting more drought years ahead, and general long-term insecurity about the county's water supply, PG&E and TUD in 2011 asked the state for more-permanent adjustments to lake levels even in not-critically-dry years.

The State Water Board earlier this month came back with a study that found the summertime lake level could indeed belowered to 5,600 in very dry years and stillprovide the recreational opportunities sought in the 2008 agreement.

The state board took public comments through April 15, during which time area cabin owners complained the lake should be maintained at a level of no lower than 5,605, or 5,604 in critically dry years (one good reason given is this is the required level for a firefighting boat to reach cabins along the shore).

So, simplistically, will the priority at Pinecrest be providing a beautiful waterfront for cabins, or more-secure water supply to Tuolumne County residents downstream

of Pinecrest (this would include ordinary folks with dead lawns as well as builders itchy for a firmer water supply)?

Or, let's not ignore it, does PG&E benefit from the ability to run its hydroelectric power plants downstream of Pinecrest during peak summer months?

In all this drama, lest we forget a new lawsuit filed in Tuolumne County Superior Court seeking to drain Hetch Hetchy Reservoir — one of the Bay Area's main sources of drinking water — which the plaintiffs say destroyed a national treasure, the Hetch Hetchy Valley.

What lessons can be taken from this? Don't get too comfortable with the "truth" when powerful interests are com-

peting for a scarce resource.

It's hard to really tell who are the victors and whose oxen are getting gored in these battles. But we' re all witnessing history unfold — a la "Chinatown." Stay tuned.

There's also no quarrel with the plan's spending more than $10 million to make some existing irrigation systems more efficient. Nor with putting more than$500 million into improved capture of storm water and expanded use of recycled, purified "gray" water for irrigation and landscaping.

But Brown has taken heat over the fact that his emergency rationing plan does notforce farms to cut use of surface water or lower pumping of ground water.

To the Editor: So I read in today's paper (April 24) that the lake is being filled as of Wednesday.

Now wait a minute. Myself and my husband are retired and have lived in Twain Harte for almost 15 years and we do not belong to the Homeowners Association so we don't have access to the lake. Yet, we are expected to reduce our water usage by 80 percent so you can fill the lake for others to use.

We have 15 apple trees that we have not been watering like we should, I wait until there is a full load of clothes before I use the machine, and we even don't flush the toilet every time to save water.

Also, because everyone has been saving on water use, they want to raise our monthly bill.

OK, if this is what is happening to us in Twain Harte I hope everyone will just use whatever water they want and when summer gets here we will all go over to the Lake and enjoy OUR Water.

I hope others that feel the same will speak up and let TUD know how they feel too.

headline was unfortunately not accurate.

It read: "Groups oppose drop in minimum Pinecrest water level."

In r eality, our n o n-profit center (CSERC) as well as the other organization cited (Friends of Pinecrest) did NOT oppose dropping (lowering) the minimum Lake level fi'om its current requirement in order to provide additional water for the Tuolumne Utilities District during the summer season.

CSERC simply suggested some different adjustments than the proposal put forward for public comment by the State Water Board. The Pinecrest community groupthatwas referenced also suggested lake levels that would allow TUD to take

the present situation, but their proposal would keep the Lake somewhat higher for recreation than the Water Board plan.

Speaking solely for our Center, I can point out that CSERC has spent many years attending Lake level meetings, doing field visits, and discussing the Pinecrest Lake level issue with those on both sides.

Our suggested compromise would strongly benefit TUD water use while recognizing that the 25,000 visitors to Pinecrest on busy summer weekends boostour localeconomy and also deserve consideration. Some minor adjustments of the Water Board's proposal could end up benefitting all affected interests, while still increasing water availability for TUD. That kind of positive outcome is exactly what CSERC is hoping to see achieved.

Kim McLawhorn, 55, who served in the United States Army from 1978 to 1985, has been homeless since September and qualifies for the VETFAM program, but can' t find any places available for him and his wife.

McLawhorn works with the Mitchells and does whatever odd jobs he can find to get by. He thinks a barrier to gettingpeople offthe streets is the county's lack of roundthe-clock facilities for the homeless to rest and bathe.

"The (David L a mbert Community) Drop-In Center gives out food, and the enrichment center has showers, but it's only on certain days," he said. "They need to open up more facilities."

A Tuolumne man on Tuesday remained in critical condition after a motorcycle accident Monday in Sonora.

Roger Hughes, 34, of Tuolumne, was at M emorial Medical Center in Modesto Tuesday evening after he underwent surgery for major injuries, including head trauma, suffered in Monday's wreck, accordingto a Sonora Police Department press release.

Hughes was riding a 2011 Harley-Davidson motorcycle

about4:19p.m. east on Mono Way when the accident happened, according to the press release.

Nancy Fagan, 75, of Jamestown, driving a 2013 Honda, pulled out of the Timber Hills ShoppingCenter and allegedly directly into Hughes's path, the release said.

Hughes' motorcycle collided with the left-&ont side of Fagan's car. He was thrown from the motorcycle upon impact, the release said.

No one dissented against Wright, but the representati ves admitted that a whole bus being sent for such small numbers of "lifeline" riders may not be the way to go.

They want to pursue using vans or possibly offering vouchers for other non-bus options like ride-sharing and volunteer or privatetransitproviders.

The Calaveras Council of Governments, which monitors transportation needs in the county and hired Chambers, aims to adopt a short range transit plan by October.

CCOG Executive Director Melissa Eads said a short-range plan is only so useful without along-range plan and recommended the formation of an ad hoc committee to address both.

The county board will consider forming such a committee at a future meeting and is slated to revisit the short range transit plan in September.

All U.S. students accepted into the UWC receive a full scholarship, which covers room, board and tuition at their assigned campus.

In addition, Roe is eligible for the Davis Scholars Program once she graduates. The scholarship was made possible by UWC benefactor Shelby Davis, and works in conjunction with more than 90 U.S. universities.

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

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, ITMAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On May 26,2015 at 03:30 PM, at the front entrance to the Administration Building, at the County Courthouse Complex, 2 South Green Street, Sonora, CA 95370, MTC Financial inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on February 25, 2005, as Instrument No. 2005003925, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Tuolumne County, California, executed by EILEEN PRUTCH, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN AND JOHN R PRUTCH, A MARRIED MAN AS HISSOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, AS JOINT TENANTS, EILEEN PRUTCH, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for GMAC MORTGAGE CORPORATION DBA DITECH.COM as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 17930 HWY 108, JAMESTOWN, CA 95327 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee's Sale is estimated to be $73,841.64 (Estimated). 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. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05002237-14-1. 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.

If there is no hook, try resting the purse strap over the door latch.

You also could place your purse on your lap ( awkward, but doable), or get a purse with a shoulder strap and don't take it off at all.

Other screening tests include MRI, which is recommended only for women at very high risk (such as previous history of breast cancer or known genetic risk) due to its very high falsepositive rate.

Earlier this month, for instance, Boston Market of-

fereda "Buy One, Get One" promotion for Tax Day that required a special button to be programmed intoregisters.

Given the chaos that couldensue ifregisterswere to malfunction, Boston Market has an "IT Lab" where it tests upgrades on about a dozen machines, said Gregory Uhing, the chain's chief financial officer, who also oversees technology.

"We try to see if we can break it," Uhing said.

When things go wrong with the chain's POS systems, Uhing said it's often because of minor, unrelated snafus related to the multiple services interacting together in one machine.

T he t echnology t h at companies use to program theirregisters varies.

For instance, Panera's Hurst said he previously reviewed aprogram by Micros called Simphony that updates menus and prices on registers by loading the information into a cloud. If the data in the cloud were to be wiped out for whatev-

erything from how many chicken wings were sold in a particular week to whether a new iced coffee is faring well in warmer regions of the country.

"Data is the holy grail of retail," said Craig Bahner, former chief marketing officer for Wendy's. "We always thought of the POS system as atoolto be able to getto know your customer."

Bahner noted that loyalty programs can provide another level of data by connecting purchases to specific individuals. That allows companies to better tailor promotions and offers.

Coke part of Cubs' revival Every team Phil Coke pitches for wins games.

The Tuolumne County native and Sonora High graduate is now pitching for the Chicago Cubs andthechampionshipstarved team is 12-7, one game behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central.

Coke has appeared in nine of19 games and has thrown five innings allowing eight hits, two walks and three earned runs while striking out six.

Lee getting up to speed for Warriors OAKLAND (AP)After spending the past two weeks on the sideline nursing a sore back, Golden State Warriors forward David Lee was happy for the chance to get back out and play full-court basketballeven if it was only in a scrimmage.

Lee is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Warriors getting at least a week off after sweeping New Orleans in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The extra time off gives Lee the chance to heal even more and the opportunity to find his rhythm again with the extra practice time created by the time off.

The Warriors won' t start the second round until Sunday at the earliest. Game 1 might be pushedbackuntilM ay 5 if the Memphis-Portland series goes seven games. The Grizzlies lead 3-1.

"It's good to go out there and get a rhythm again," Lee said Tuesday. "My back feels really good. It was the first time I had played full court in a while. It was important to get that rhythm back and the car'dlo.

The Warriors held their second practice Tuesday since finishing off the sweep of New Orleans on Saturday.

Coach Steve Kerr worked the players hard during a lengthy practice that included two quarters of a full-court scrimmage to prevent the team from getting rusty during the break.

"We tried to make it feel like a game with the conditioning level," Kerr

said.

The Warriors will take W ednesday offbefore returning to practice Thursday when they could know their secondround opponent if Memphis wins at home Wednesday night.

Lee did not play at all in the first round but was able to be in uniform in New Orleans when the team clinched the series and said he will be ready for round two.

S tarting pitcher M i chael Costa got the win in the opener, striking out five. He also had a home run and three RBI's.

Casteel pitched a scoreless top of the second, and Sonora looked primed to score in the bottom of the inning. Senior Joey Kish led off the inning with a walk, and with one out, Eric Gilliatt drilled a 2-2 pitch into the right-center field gap on a hit-and-run, that looked as if it would fall. Owen Mcgratten tracked the ball down deep in the alley, and was able to double-up Kish who was halfway to third.

"He threw a middle-in fastball and I thought, when I hit it, that I smoked it," said Gilliatt. 'The center fielder was

"I was ready to gun that kid down," said Kish. "But it happens, there are ups and downs in baseball and that was one of them. You just have to fight through it, but I was really hoping to get him."

Sonora had an opportunity to score in the bottom of the third, loading the bases with

runs.

Kirk also got the win for the Jays, as he pitched three innings of relief and struck out five. Costa went 3 for 4 with two RBI's and two runs scored.Miguel went 2 for 3 with two RBI's and Victor Gallardo scored three runs in the win.

Sophomore slugger Bradley Canepa put a good swing on a thigh-high fastball and sent a soaring fly ball deep into right-center field. If it fell, it had the potential to clear the bases. Yet, like what happened to Gilliatt in the second inning, the ball was tracked down and Sonora came up empty.

Linden (9-6 MLL) scored two unearned runs in the top of the fifth and led 4-0, and Sonora had yet to collect a base hit.

The Wildcats got their first hit with two outs in the bottom of the fifth, off the bat of Carter Denton.

"Our kids are confident, but they are not overconfident," Johnson said. "We knew that Linden was going to be tough. We went 10-innings with them last time. Every game we have had with them this year has been tough. Tonight's loss wasn't because of overconfidence, it was about

In the top of the seventh, Linden was looking to add on to its 4-0 lead. Lucchetti blooped what looked tobe a single into shallow center field, but Kish came in from center like a rocket and made a sliding grab to rob Lucchetti.

"It was popped up and it was pretty short," Kish said.

"I thought our shortstop was going to make the play, but he backed off a little, so I hauled in and tried to make the play.

I did what I could to help my pitcher out."

With two outs in the inning, Gilliatt robbed Frankie Holloway of an infield single with a brilliant barehanded pickup and throw from his third base position.

"It was a little chopper and I knew that I had to rush to get there," Gilliatt said. 'The runner was really fast so I knew that I had to bare hand
