By SEAN CARSON The Union Democrat

Since the arrests of four students in connection with a shooting plot at Summerville High School this month, schools have called law enforcement on a weekly basis.

But, the calls could have been answered byofficers already stationed on campus, a much needed resource

cut from Tuolumne County schools over the past decade, Lt. Neil Evans of the Tuolumne County SherifFs Office said.

Four incidents in the past three weeks required either the SherifFS Office or the Sonora Police Departm ent to deploy officersto schools.

Starting Sept. 30, the SherifFs Office responded to the shooting plot at Summerville High. Death threats at Sonora High and Soulsbyville Elementary School occurred the following week. Another threat by a student at Jamestown Elementary was reported Oct. 14, and suspected gunfire around Gold Rush Charter School drew deputies the following day.

Evans served as a school resource officer for both the Jamestown School District and Columbia Union School District between 2002 and 2004.

Bradley spoke ata recent Oak Plus monthly wellness seminar sponsored by S onora Regional Medical Center.

Most women go through menopause during the 45 and 55 age range, Bradley said. Symptoms can include hot flashes and vaginal dryness, which can last one or two

MERI,Z ARTHUR HOI,MAN

December 20, 1927 - October 11, 2015 Merle passed as he lived, on his own terms. Merle A. Holman passed away peacefully, after a short illness on Sunday, October 11, 2015 with his son Burt at his side. All who knew Merle knew that he was a force of nature. Highly intelligent, strong, respected, work-a-holic, possessing a wicked sense of humor and always thinking in regards to his next invention or project.

i 'g

Merle's greatest joy was his wife Beverly and his large loving family. Many family dinners and celebrations were shared throughout the years.

Merle was born in Pasadena, but raised in Oakdale where his family moved when he was very young. Merle was an avid thinker and inventor. He was known to have an exceptional work ethic. Merle was only talking about retiring.

One of his most notable inventions was the Holman scale, billed as "The scale with four lives." Another was the tire particalizer. Now known as the Barclay RotoShred. Merle was many things to many people, which is why he was often referred to as the "BIG MAN WITH A BIG HEART". Developer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, father, grandfather, ornery guy with a toothpick and never without his pen under his watch band. He never drank alcohol until his forties. The joy (health benefits) of red wine was discovered!

In 1979, Merle acquired property around Tulloch Lake. A new addition to the family. Merle and Bev developed this into Black Jack Bluff Estates. Then on to construction of a barge that could drive piles for surety of boat docks and marinas.

In 1980, he developed Hi-Tech Industrial Park in Oakdale. Then promptly sold that concern. In the meantime, he founded Holman Craftsmen Inc. which is still in business today and belongs to his son Dan. He also founded Buzzard Canyon Moss Rock with his son Mike.

Merle's love of the lake never wavered. He returned to develop unique floating precast boat docks. While on the lake, he and Bev opened a boat rental and mini market. Most of his grandchildren worked on the boat rental business operation.

Merle's last great hurrah was his floating fuel station he called Petro-Float. If you were to tell Merle that something could not be done, well, he would prove you wrong. Merle developed lasting friendships in all the industries that he worked within. To know Merle was to respect him. He got the job done.

Merle was preceded in death by three brothers and three sisters.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Merle on November 7, 2015 beginning at 11 a.m. in the backroom of the Historical H-B Saloon in Oakdale. Bring your stories and share a memory.

Bomb a factory; attract 247 media attention.

Build a factory brick by brick? That rates a yawn, not a headline.

Fortunately, careful "brick by brick" does receive occasional recognition. An exception occurred two weeks ago when the Nobel committee awarded its 2015 Peace Prize to a Tunisian civic and political coalition, the National Dialogue Quartet. The Quartet consists of four civic organizations — a business organization, two labor unions and a lawyersassociation.

Tunisia kicked off the 2011Arab Spring revolutions. Violence flared. Throngs filled the streets, protesting dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's two decadesofmisrule.Ben Aliretaliated; dozens of protestors were slain. However, echoing Eastern Europe 1989, the military did not want to kill Tunisian citizens. The Tunisian military had a deserved reputation for political neutrality. That gave Tunisia an advantage. Democratic revolutions must have honest, disciplined soldiers who respect their citizens and governing institutions.

Unlike the other Arab revolutions on the Mediterranean littoral — Egypt, Libya and SyriaTunisia has succeeded in navigating the violence.

When terrorism and assassination have occurred, Tunisians have refused to fracture into uncooperative ethnic, religious, political or economic pieces the killers can exploit. Instead, they focus on common goals.

Horrid violence occurs. Jihadists have murdered tourists en masse. The day before the Nobel committee announced its decision, assassins tried

to murder a member of the secular Nidaa Tounes (Tunisian Call) party.

Economic issues matter in Tunisia. A politicaleconomic injustice ignited the revolution. When crookedpolic e seized his cart,street salesman Mohamed Bouazizi set himself afire in protest.

Bouazizi's crooked bazaar was Tunisia's controlled-access economy in miniature. Ben Ali ran a crony state benefiting himself and his friends.

How has Tunisia avoided Libyan and Syrian chaos and Egyptian-style military reaction?

As a metaphor, "brick by brick" suggests qualities that apply to Tunisian revolutionary politics: a generally agreed upon plan or concept; measured and deliberate implementation of the building process; careful evaluation of implementation; and, most definitely, the fortitude to continue a deliberateprocessdespiteterrorattacksandregionalwar.

The National Dialogue Quartet was a vital brick, irreplaceable when its moderating influences are assessed.

GUEST COLUMN

Really'? Could it be Trump'? Where's Jeb'?

For months I' ve been telling everyone who brings it up to calm down about the summer infatuation with the cartoonish Donald Trump, whose candidacy was perfect fodder for conversation over the barbecue. Then there was the early autumn period, where it still could be dismissed because it was early autumn. These days, I keep reminding people of Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor, who was the flavor of many months in the summer and fall of 2003, culminating with a Christmas endorsement gift from former Vice President Al Gore.

And that was that. The outside insurgent, attempting to become an establishment candidate, lost his footing. By caucus night, when he finished third, he was left to remind hissupporters(beforehestartedthefamous scream)that one year earlier a third-place finish would have counted as a great victory for him. That's the trouble with being the early frontrunner. If Donald Trump finishes

The moderate Islamist Ennahda party won the October 2011 election and promised to maintain a secular system. However, in 2013, when two secu-

lar politicians were slain, the Tunisian people concluded that Ennahda was slow to pursue the criminal investigation. Everyone, for good reason, suspected Islamist terrorists. Egypt's military had just toppled Muslim Brotherhood president Mohammed Morsi. An overwhelming majority of the Egyptian people believed Morsi was undermining democracy in favor of an Islamist theocracy. Tunisia approached a similar brink.

Enter Tunisia's Quartet. The Quartet helped negotiate a peaceful transition agreement. Ennahda handed power toan interim government.

New national elections were held in late 2014.

Building brick by brick requires another revolutionary lesson: Hang together or hang separately.

In January 2011, Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, Iran's first president after the revolution, (and living in exile since 1981, when Khomeini toppled him) wrote a prescient essay. If Tunisians want to protect their revolution from Iran's dictatorial nightmare, Bani-Sadr said "despite their many differences — from secular to Islamist — political organizations should develop a common commit-

ment to democratic values."

In Tunisia, an overwhelming majority of the people want a just political-economic order, and a European parliamentary democracy with an honest judiciary and far freer market than the kleptocratictravesties ofthe Middle East looked like a model worth emulating.

This year's refugees and migrants fleeing Central and South Asian, Middle Eastern and African chaos for the European Union appear to agree with the Tunisian people.

'Hard times' at Pinecrest lake To the Editor: "One must be careful for what one wishesfor"Oct. 17,2015. Ironically,it's not just "the four-year drought" that has made Pinecrest more popular than ever, it's Mr. Green's whining that the lake remain full through Labor Day for his personal recreational enjoyment ... Now he's complaining about "unintended consequences" and thinks charging a feewhich would deter families with lower incomes from coming — would solve the problem.

Mr. Green related the "hard times" the Pinecrest cabin permittees were having to "endure" sharing the lake and the fish during the week with hordes of commoners, Waaah, Waaah, snivel, snivel! Did you think you could have your full lake without a price? That is EXACTLY what you cabin owners demanded of PG&E and the rest of Tuolumne County during the FERC relicensing.

Yeah, you all thought it was just fine that we Tuolumne County residents could just live with brown lawns, dead landscaping and water restrictions as you drove from your Bay Area GREEN landscaping through our wasteland to"your" "heaven in the hills" cabin with all the water you could commandeer.

Survey shows marijuana use rises CHICAGO (AP)Marijuana use among U.S. adults doubled over a decade, rising to almost10 percent or more than 22 million mostly recreational users, government surveys show.

The trend reflects a cultural shift and increasingly p ermissive views about the drug, the researchers say, noting that other studies have shown increasing numbers of adults think marijuana should be l egalized.

R ecreational use i s now permitted in four states.

Almost 1 in 3 users had signs of marijuana dependence or abuse, a slight decline from a decade ago.

The results come from a comparison of health surveys from 2001-02 and 2012-13 sponsored by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Almost 80,000 adults aged 18 and older participated in

intense speculation about the two leaders' motives — and a strong response from Washington. ''We view the red-carpet welcome for Assad, who has used chemical weapons against his own people, at odds with the stated goal by the Russians for a political transition in Syria," said White House spokesman Eric Schultz.

If nothing else, it underscored how emboldened the embattled Syrian leader has become in the wake of the Russian airstrikes that began

on Sept. 30 and Iran's deployment ofhundreds of ground forces to fight alongside Syriangovernment troops.

Russia says it is targeting militants, especially those of the extremist Islamic State group. But critics, including the U.S., say Moscow's military intervention props up

Assad and is likely to fan the violence.

The oblique r eferences Wednesday by both leaders to their meeting did little to shed light on their ultimate strategy.

Marovich said the board went against the recommendations of the arboristsand degraded the park's historical integrity.

Courthouse Square was designed 79 yearsago by former District 1 Supervisor Frank Ralph, who reportedlyselected many ofthe trees from the county's high country. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

"It definitely has a different, less historic and less appealing appearance with the removal of so many trees," Marovic h said.

"Itwas very easy for people to spend a lot of time at the park doing things they probably shouldn' t be doing, which kept a lot of people out because they felt uncomfortable," she said. "Usually if you have a well lit parking lot, you have less crime than a parking lot that has no lights in it."

A now-dead giant sequoia planted in Sonora's Courthouse Square in 1936 is on the city's chopping block.

Though growing marijuana for recreational use is illegal in the state, it is legal to do so medicinally. Kuntz said he has noticed an increase in the number of people who are growing marijuana in Calaveras County.

The county still plans to replace the landscaping and put in new grass, but the ongoing drought is blamed for the delay.

"I'm sure the county is being cautious about how much they' re going to do right away because of the drought situation," Williams said. "I just tell people, 'Stay tuned, a plan is in place,' but it's a process on how quickly it all gets done."

Specialty coffees and other holiday drinks wrapped up with calories, sugar

By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

Holiday flavored drinks are here, and with them come oodles of extra sugar and calories to start the season's weight gain.

Pumpkin spice, peppermint and maple are just some of the common flavors that can be added to coffee drinks or hot chocolate that increases sugar content and calories.

According to the National Institutes of Health, holiday eating for many people can result in an extra pound or two every year. Over a lifetime, holiday weight gain can add up. Plus, it's much easier to gain weight than to lose it.

Most people forget to figure calories &om beverages into their daily allotment, explained Jolene Segerstrom, community health assistant at Calaveras County Public Health Department.

"People think mostly about eating healthy. People don't realize the caloric intake of our drinks. Especially around the holidays, we are eatingmore foods,we are also drinking eggnog and having pumpkin spice Frappuccinos," Segerstrom said.

These holiday treats should be imbibed in moderation, said Nancy Moses, nutrition assistant at Tuolumne County Public Health's WIC (Women Infant Child) program.

The key is to make sure "you' re not making a habit or daily use of it," Moses said.

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 100 calories a day of added sugar for women, which is about six teaspoons of sugar, Moses said.

Moses said a "normal" 13.7-ounce bottle of Starbucks Mocha Frappuchino has 13 teaspoons of sugar.

A 12-ounce soda has 17 teaspoons of sugar, Segerstrom said.

Tips for getting less added sugar Use these tips to reduce sugar in your diet: • Remove sugar (white and brown), syrup, honey and molasses from the tableout of sight, out of mind.

• Cut back on the amount of sugar added to things you eat or drink regularly like cereal, pancakes, coffee or tea.

Try cutting the usual amount of sugar you add by half and wean down from there, or consider using an artificial sweetener.

• Buy sugar-free or lowcalorie beverages.

• Buy fresh fruits or fruits canned in water or natural juice. Avoid fruit canned in syrup, especially heavy Syl'UP.

• Instead of adding sugar to cereal or oatmeal, add

A average size apple has about 19 grams of sugar in it, which is equal to about 4 teaspoons of sugar.

However, the sugar in an appleisfructose,a naturally occurring sugar the body needs andmetabolizes easily. Sugar in sodas, coffee drinks and candy commonly comes from high &uctose corn syrup, which is not naturally occurring, and is more difficult to digest, Segerstromexplained.

Another difference between an apple or other fruit and drinking juice or sugary drinks is the fiber and other nutrients in &nit.

"That's the i m portant thing to remember — it's a treat," Segerstrom said.

It's OK to indulge, even once a week — but there are things people can do to lessen the sugar and calorie overload, Segerstrom said.

The best choice at the coffeehouse is regular black coffee with fat-free milk. If a sweeter drink is needed, artificial sweetener should be used, she said.

Whatever drink people do order, they should order the smallest size and ask that it to be made with low or nonfat milk, Segerstrom said.

"Your calories triple when you get the huge one," Segerstrom said.

Try to avoid the extra fla-

fresh fruit (try bananas, cherries or strawberries) or dried fruit (raisins, cranberries or apricots).

• When baking cookies, brownies or cakes, cut the sugar called for in your recipe by one-third to one-half. Often you won' t notice the difference.

• Instead of adding sugar in recipes, use extracts such as almond, vanilla, orange or lemon.

• Enhance foods with spices instead of sugar; try ginger, allspice, cinnamon or nutmeg.

Substitute unsweetened applesauce for sugar in recipes (use equal amounts).

• Try zero-calorie sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose or saccharin in moderation.

vorings like vaniHa, hazelnut, pumpkin and too often, because the flavoring is just sugar syrup with a little flavor.

If you' re hosting a holiday party in upcoming weeks, try tooffer infused water instead of soda or flavored drinks. Infused water is fun and healthy.

"One of my favorites is watermelon and rosemary," Segerstrom said.

In a clear carafe, it looks really good and people will enjoy it, since many feel like plain water is "boring," she said.

People can even use sparkling water and fruit.

A way to limit sugary drink consumption is to not stock your refrigerator with sugar-sweetened beverages.

"Ifthey're there,ofcourse people will want to drink them," she said.

Although you can't isolate the caloriesperserving from added sugars with the information on a nutrition label, you can calculate the calories per serving from total sugars (added sugars and naturallyoccurr'mg sugars), by multiplying the grams of sugar by 4 (there are 4 calories per 1 gram of sugar).

For example, a drink with 15g of sugar has 60 calories from sugar per serving, according to the American Heart Association.

If a drink has no &uit or milk products in the ingredients, all of the sugars in thefood are from added sugars. If it has fruit or milk products, thetotalsugarper serving listed on the label will include added and naturally occumng sugars.

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

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

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

Wife feels couple is too old to adopt pets Annie's Mailbox ever, the problem is my wife. She misses these dogs as much as I do, butfeelswearetooold togetanother dog. What do you think we should do?

— GRIEVING FOR OUR PETS DEAR GRIEMNG: Our c o ndolences onthe loss of your beloved animals. Multiple studies have shown that seniors greatly benefit from having pets to love a nd care for. But d o k eep i n mind that puppies are generally more work than older dogs. Your wife may not feel up to the task.

Please discuss it with her tmd consider the possibility of adopting an older dog. You might also take into account the likelihood of your someday moving intoa senior facility that does not al-

low animals.Some seniors handle this by having a friend or relative agree to take the animals when they can no longer care for them.

DEAR ANNIE: Last month, a dear friend died. He lived in another state, but he was buried here. His family had once been a large part of our community, but none of them has lived in our town for 30 years.

His widow spent a great deal of money on funeral arrangements and meals for the crowd that she expected to attend. I told her that only a few people would remember her husband, but she didn't listen. In fact, only a handful showed up for the service, including the men pressed into service as pallbearers and the women who helped serve the meal afterward. The widow could not believe that cousins, nieces and nephews from out of state didnotpay theirlastrespectsto her husband. I reminded her that they, too, were in their 808 and would find

it dif5cult to travel.

I feel terribly guilty that I couldn' t do more to curb the widow's expectations of a grand send-off for her husband and prevent her heartbreak.

Maybe this letter will remind others to listen to the people who reside in their former hometowns before they make plans. Then I will have done something to avert such a disaster in the future. — AN AVID READER DEAR READER: There is no reason for you to feel guilty. You did your best to dissuade this woman, but she was in deniaL We hope your warning helps others.

Arthritis help may come from a surprising source DEAR DR. ROACH: I have arthritis in my hands and knees. For at leastthree years, I took ibuprofen (about 1,200 mg daily). Then two years ago, I switched to a natural health-care product derived from turmeric. It works just as well for me as the ibuprofen, and no side effects (I think). What are your thoughts about this? — M.K ANSWER: Curcumin, the active chemical in the spice turmeric, has several potential uses. I wrote some months ago about its possible use in inflammatory bowel disease, but I was able to find several studies showing beneftt in people with both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The usual dose was 500 mg (of curcumin) two or three times daily.

There were few side e6ects in the studies, but there is the potential to worsen bleeding in people taking anticoagulants, such as warfarin. Curcumin seems a reasonable alternative to anti-inflammatories in people with arthritis, and it might be worth a trial, especially in people who ex-

DEAR ANNIE: My wife and I are in our mid-708 and have no children.

However, we have had pets, mostly cats, for allofour50yearstogether.

About 13 years ago, we bought an 8-week-old female Boston terrier puppy. A few months later a friend called us about a female Boston terrier that he could not keep and ofFered it to us. We took it on a trial basis, and since it got along well with our dog (and our two cats), we ended up keeping it.

We loved them both like they were our children. They rarely barked, got along great with adult and child visitors and loved being in the car. They were the best pets we ever had. We loved them. Both dogs were under the regular care of a vet. About a month ago, Spunky died in her sleep.

It was devastating to lose her. Then, two weeks later, Petunia died. We are truly heartbroken.

I want to get another puppy or young dog as soon as possible. How-

DEAR DK R OACH: I am 69 years old and had several retinal tearsin both eyes 15 years ago that resulted in multiple large floaters that obscure my vision. Four difFerent ophthalmologists have discouraged me from getting a vitrectomy due to the many risks involved, and I have reluctantly followed their advice. Just recently I stumbled on a treatment called YAG laser, where they can pulverize floaters with laser beams. It is somewhat expensive, and the doctor that I contacted does not work with

den appearance of many can be a sign of a tom retina, as you had. Unfortunately, theeyehasnowayofrem oving them. If they aren't aaecting vision, they do not need to be treated, but I can understand in your case why you might want to get them treated. Both laser treatment of the floaters and surgical vitrectomy have been successful, and Ihad severalreaderstell me they had good success with the treatments. There are ophthalmologists who exclusively treat floaters, and reportgood results.Ifyou decide to proceed, I certainly would get as much information as you can from the ophthalmologist about how often he or she performs the procedure and what the success and complication rates are.

Two relevant uppercut rules

Today in history Today is Thursday, October 22, the 295th day of 2015. There are 70 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On October 22, 1962, in a nationally broadcast address, President John F. Kennedy revealed the presence of Soviet-built missile bases under construction in Cuba and announced a quarantine of all offensive military equipment being shipped to the Communist island nation.

On this date: In 1746, Princeton University was first chartered as the College of New Jersey.

In 1797, French balloonist Andre-Jacques Garnerin (gahr-nayr-AN') made the first parachute descent, landing safely from a height of about 3,000 feet over Paris.

In 1836, Sam Houston was inaugurated as the first constitutionally elected president of the Republic of Texas.

In 1883, the original Metropolitan Opera House in New York held its grand opening with a performance of Gounod's "Faust."

In 1915, Israeli statesman Yitzhak Shamir was born in Ruzinoy, Poland, in present-day Belarus.

In 1928, Republican presidential nominee Herbert Hoover spoke of the "American system of rugged individualism" in a speech at New York' s Madison Square Garden.

In 1934, bank robber Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd was shot to death by federal agents and local police at a farm near East Liverpool, Ohio.

In 1953, the Franco-Lao Treaty of Amity and Association effectively made Laos an independent member of the French Union.

10-22-15 North 4 KQJ 10

By PHILLIP ALDER V K8 54 I J9 8 A button at the interesting Computer Mu4K 3 seum in Boston says, "Usenet isn't a right. It's a West East right, a left, and a swift uppercut to the jaw."

4 A 74 4 986 3 2 Yesterday, we looked at the bridge upperf Q 10 V J cut,but there aretwo important aspectsthat I A KQ54 2 I 10 3 must be kept in mind by the defenders — both y 9 6 4 10 7 5 4 2 relevant in this deal.

South South is in four hearts. How should the de45 fenders card to defeat the contract? Be precise.

0 A 976 3 2 As in yesterday's column, fourth hand made 0?6 a natural overcall in opener's minor. North was 4AQ J8 right to bid two hearts with four-card support, Dealer: North despite his minimum.

Vulnerable: Both West starts with the diamond ace: eight, 10, seven.

West cashes the diamond queen: nine, South W e st North East three, six. What now'?

11 Pass This deal was played in a three-table social 17 21 2V Pass duplicate. The first West continued with his 4W Pass Pa s s Pas s diamond king. East, thinking that this would win the trick, discarded a low spade. South ruffed, Openinglead:I A drew trumps, conceded a spade trick, and claimed.

At the second table, West carefully led a low diamond at trick three, which his partner ruffed with the heart jack. Momentarily, this looked like a lethal uppercut, gaining a trump trick for the defenders. However, South calmly discarded his spade loser and made his contract.

The third West knew that when you try for an uppercut, you should cash all of your side-suit tricks first. Before the third diamond, West took his spade ace. Then he also carefully led a low diamond to force his partner to ruff, and the contract went down one.

South lost two diamonds, one spade and one heart.

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 $139,516.93 (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.

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 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.

BRIEFING

Blue 3aysstay alive, topKC TORONTO IAP)Marco Estrada took the mound with one task: save the season forthe Toronto Blue Jays.

He did it, pitching onehit ball into the eighth inning to give Toronto's tattered bullpen a rest, and the Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals 7-1 Wednesday to close to 3-2 in the best-ofseven American League Championship Series.

Troy Tulowitzki provided three of those runs.

He broke the game open with a bases-clearing double off Kelvin Herrera in the sixth, giving him seven RBls in the series.

Edwin Encarnacion had walked with the bases loaded against Edinson Volquez, who seemed flustered by a couple of close calls against the Royals.

Kansas City totaled 22 runs and 30 hits in the first two games in Toronto, but Estrada faced the minimum 20 batters before Lorenzo Cain walked with two outs in the seventh. Closer Robeito Osuna was perfect in the ninth.

Yordano Ventura will start for the Royals Friday in Game 6 against David Price.

Tight end Jimmy Graham joined Seattle, too. " Record-wise, peop l e wouldn't say it's the same game, because usually we come to this game and we' re both 4-2 or 5-1 or maybe 6-0 at this point," Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett said. ''We' re not usually where our records are. I still think the talent level is the same."

Seattle, then the defending Super Bowl champion, whipped San Francisco 19-3 at Levi's Stadium, then eliminated the 49ers from playoff contention less than three weeks later with a 17-7 win in Seattle.

The Seahawks have won three in a row in the rivalry.

Sherman will hardly miss his former Stanford coach, Harbaugh, or departed wideout Michael Crabtree — now with the Oakland Raiders.

"I'm not going to miss either, because I think I'm still playing," Sherman said. 'When you' re playing this game, you try not to worry about other

Lloydsmreslate, US tiesBrazil SEATTLE (AP)Leave it to Carli Lloyd to come through for the United States women and keep them from suffering their first home defeat in more than a decade.

Lloyd scored in the 85th minute and the World Cup champions pulled out a1-1 tie with Brazil on Wednesday night after trailing from the opening moments in the latest stop on the American's victory tour.

She got her foot to a cross from defender Meghan Klingenberg and the shot beat goalkeeper Luciana, deflected off the underside of the crossbar and into the net. The U.S. was on the verge of suffering its first home loss in more than a decade.

The Amedicans extended their home unbeaten streak to 101 matches, their last loss coming on Nov. 6, 2004, against Denmark in Philadelphia during a postOlympic victory tour.

And it was Lloyd making sure the streak continued. Lloyd was the Golden Ball winner at

pursued playing at the next level. He traveled around the country, attending tryouts to catchthe eyeofa m ajorleague team. The closest he got was a one day spring training tryout with the Colorado Rockies. He felt he had a strong performance and thought his dream might come true. Unfortunately for Pinocchio, the club earlier that day signed two middle infielders and there was not another roster spot available.

"I just found out that the guy who was there scouting is now coaching at Merced High for a fall league that we are playing in," Pinocchio said.

"He told me that they should have signed me instead of the other guys. I told him, 'Dude, why do you have to tell me that now?' " "It was tough," Pinocchio said. "That was a dream I had growing up and it took me a

"It was pretty exciting. I let my wife know and she was really excited," Sarkisian said.

"It's my first varsity head coach job after assisting at lower levelsfor severalyears.

It's very humbling and exciting. 10 years in the works."

"Will's the type of guy that whatever he touches turns to

ing football game. He added in an email."Will is known for his academic push and passionate seminar style classes where he engages his students with the passion of language, literature, and critical thinking ...

while to really accept it. But, I was at the point where I gave it everything I had and it wasn't quite good enough to make it to the elite level. I was okay with it."

Following graduating from UCSD in 2005, Pinocchio caught the coaching bug. He helped out his father, Joe, who was an assistant coach at Sonora. He helped coach at Sonora in 2006-7 and again in 2009-10.

In 2011, Pinocchio and his wife, Krisi (whom he met his senior year at UCSD and married in 2010) moved to M andeville, L ouisiana where he became an assistant coach and later co-head coach at Lake Shore High School. In 2014, he returned to Tuolumne County and once again resumed his duties as an assistant coach at Sonora.

Pinocchio wanted to become a head coach, but didn't see

that happening at Sonora. So he made a call to the head coach of the Bears, Larry Gold. He explained his situation and his goal of becoming the head of a team. Gold, who was contemplating retirement, gave him a shot and the 2015 Bears won the Mother Lode League championship. sHe gave me free reign to do whatever I wanted to help him with the program," Pinocchio said. "He let me implement a few different things. Looking back now, I can see that was kind of his plan, too. It was to

He approaches this new position at Sonora High with high expectations to help shape the talent of the team and impact the lives of the young men as they move forward in life toward excellence."

Sarkisian was born and raised Tuolumne County. He grew up as an Oakland A's fan and graduatedfrom Mother Lode Christian in 2000 where he played shortstop and catcher onthe baseballteam.

He attended Columbia Collegefor two years before transferring to the University of California, Santa Barbara where he earned a bachelor' s degree in English and Master's in education.

Following college, he was hired by M oorpark High School, in Moorpark, to teach English. He enquired about helping with baseball and was quickly made an assistant varsity coach where he performed for nine years for the division I Musketeers and longtime

coach Scott Fullerton.

Sarkisian met his wife of seven years, Liana, during his time in southern California.

In 2014, he brought Liana, and his two young kids, a son and daughter, back to the Mother Lode when Sonora High hired him to teach AP junior English, college prep junior English and honors freshmen English.

"I love Sonora, Tuolumne County. It's a great place to raise a family," Sarkisian said.

Now in his second year at Sonora, Sarkisian was voted by the students as the sMost Inspirational Staffulty" and wore a most inspirational sash last Friday in the homecoming parade.

He takes over a Wildcat program that finished second to Summerville last year in the Mother Lode League and went to postseason for the first time in three years.

Gold announced he was stepping down as the head coach of the Bears following the 2015 season and all roads led to Pinocchio as his successor. Nonetheless, he still had to go through the necessary stepsbeforethe job could be his.

Shortly after P i nocchio was hired, the same position opened at Sonora High. He receivedcall s and messages from friends wanting him to back out of the Summerville job and go after the vacant Sonora position.

"Sonora is my alma mater, and I am very dear to it and I hope for nothing but success for that program," Pinocchio said. "I wish to see it have the success that we knew back when I was playing there. But, I'm not going to leave Summerville. It never crossed my mind after I got the job here.

The administration, the kids, the parents, everythmg about Summerville is what I want to be a part of. The kids work hard, they listen, they show respect,and they appreciate everything that I give to them, and they give it right back. I wouldn't trade that for the world."

teams Sarkisianwas apart of, went to the Southern Section playoffs.

"This is a game and obviously we want to win," Sarkisian said. "I hate losing more than I like winning. Not to sound crazy, but, with the idea of the goal is to play well, baseball is a game where it will break your heart a lot more times

than you remember it making you happy. We' ve gotta keep a prettyeven keel asfar asour emotion. As we deal with disappointment, recognize how we deal with it.

"I want t o

c r eate men,"

Sarkisian added. "Create guys who are good character guys, responsible,ethical, respectful, to each other, to their families, to their peers at school, to theteachers at school and to the community as a whole.

When a guy puts on a Sonora jersey and represents, not just the team, but the school and county, there is always someone watching."

D'Arnaud also homered as the Mets won their fifth pennant. Bartolo Colon pitched 1 V3 scoreless innings for his first playo8' win since 2001.

Bryant hit a two-run homer in the eighth, but it was way too late for Chicago in its first appearance in the NLCS in 12 years. The Cubs shut out Pittsburgh in the wild-card game and eliminated rival St. Louis in the division series, but were unable to mount

much of a challenge against the Mets.

"I think we' re in a place nobody expected us to be and we can be proud of that," Bryant said. 'We were four wins away from going to the World Series.
