WASHINGTON —President Barack Oba-ma onMonday orderedemployment protectionfor gay and transgenderemployees who workfor the federal govern-ment or for companiesholding federal con-tracts, telling advocateshe embraced the “ir-refutable rightness ofyour cause.”“America’s federal

acceptable that beinggay is still a firing of-fense in many places intheUnitedStates, and hecalled on Congress toextend the ban to all em-ployers. But legislationthat would extend theban has become em-broiled in a dispute overwhether religious groupsshould get exemptions.The president had

Local Teeyan festival celebratedBy Ronald MontezTHE MADERATRIBUNE

While the cultural cele-bration of Teeyan couldbe described as a prosper-ous festival for Indianwomen, Madera residentPam Grewal believesthere’s more to the eventthan just gathering andsocializing for a couple ofhours.“It’s about bringing our

older and younger gener-ation together to experi-ence, learn and knowabout the culture,” saidGrewal, who attendedSaturday’s event at LionsTown and Country Park.There were a number of

local females of all agesincluding four-generationfamilies who showed upto the traditional Indianevent that had a variety ofactivities for the fourthyear in a row.“I just want to thank

everyone who attendedand made this event sosuccessful,” said Tajinder

Chahal, who helped or-ganized the event. “Themore people who comein, the more they can en-joy.”Those of the younger

generation certainly felthaving a yearly celebra-tion in Madera is benefi-cial for the preserving the

heritage while also get-ting to know others of thesame culture.“It’s just about embrac-

ing and keeping your cul-ture alive,” said teenageparticipants Tina Paddaand Gursimran Pabla.“It’s one day out of theyear that you get to dress

CREATIVE MINDS

By Careen WongTHE MADERATRIBUNE

Over the past three weeks, proudand astonished teachers at Madera’smigrant summer school learned thata child’s creativity and imaginationknow no boundaries.“Their creativity, imagination is

unparalleled,” said Carmen Va-lesquez, a first grade teacher. “Wecannot put a bar and say, ‘This is asfar as they go.’ It’s an open bar.

They can go as far as they can.”It was a truly rewarding experi-

ence for Valesquez because some-times as teachers they establish agoal that they expect their studentsto reach. But these students werelike an open book and anythingcould happen, she said.Juan Valdivia, a fifth grade

teacher, had high expectations fromhis students that were met and evenexceeded.“I learned that they can do much

more than what we think some-times,” Valdivia said. “They’re ableto problem solve at a higher leveland use their critical thinking skillsand work faster than what I thoughtthey were able to do.”Madera Unified School District

collaborated with Merced Countyof Education to bring the migrantschool program, which finishes to-day, to Madera for the second timein two years. This year, there were

around 115 students par-ticipating.The migrant summer

school focuses on givingchildren who are classi-fied as “migrant” the op-portunity to learn andcommunicate in English.Migrant students haveparents who “work infarming or some sort offarming background andthey’ve also movedaround over the last threeyears because of theirjobs,” Omar Jeronimosaid.Jeronimo is the princi-

pal of Parkwood Elemen-tary school, where thesummer school was held.Themain focus of the pro-gram is to teach studentsEnglish through science,mathematics and technol-ogy. He described thelearning process asteacher-student led where-by the teacher follows thestudent’s interests andteaches from there.Through the program,

teachers guide and pushthe children, workingalongside them but theydo not dictate or lecturethe students, Valesquezsaid.

“The new commoncore standards really rec-ommend hands-on activi-ties — children manipu-lating things,” she said.The children also have

to justify why they decid-ed to make a certain thingand how do they go aboutdoing it.This year, the program

added a science and Legorobotics class and stu-dents were able to show-case their own creationsMonday at the elementarycafeteria.

Jeronimo called theshowcase an expedition.Students were encour-aged to work in groupsand communicate in Eng-lish. They also had to ex-plain their projects to vis-itors and had a poster putup showing the process.“It’s giving students an

opportunity to speakabout what they’velearned, because withinour migrant populationsome of them have verylimited English to very

high,” Jeronimo said.“We want to give themthe opportunity to reallyuse the vocabulary andspeaking skills thatthey’ve learned.”Flavio Quiroz and Luis

Linaers, both fourthgraders, built a robotictiger and alligator pow-ered by USB cords and amonkey with a motionsensor. They were ex-tremely excited to explainto anyone who droppedby their booth what theirLego robots could do. Ittook about 25 minutes tobuild each of their robotsand they admitted that, al-though this was tough, itwas the most fun they hadduring the program.Valdivia said he had a

female student who toldhim that she used to thinkLegos were boring but,after she immersed her-self into building robots,she could not stop.Valesquez felt that dur-

ing the program it wasimportant for the studentsto feel confident, appreci-ated and valued. Theyneeded to be recognizedfor their individuality.“One person’s creation

is different from the nextbut it’s as valuable as theother person’s,” she said.During the course of

three weeks, students areat summer school for 7.5hours a day because theprogram takes up a lot oftime, Jeronimo said. Hehopes that one day thedistrict will be able to in-corporate it during thenormal school semestersso that every group of stu-dents could participate.

everyone to get out andcelebrate life but it’s alsoan opportunity to createawareness,” said SunnyPadda, a college student.“We learn old sayings,folklore, stories, old tra-ditions and the culture.Everyone gets to dressup and appreciate whateach other’s wearing. It’sso colorful and vibrate.

Even with the acces-sories, every little piecehas a meaning.”It was also a chance

for Madera’s Tina Gre-wal, whose husbandMike Grewal is ethni-cally Indian, to learnabout the culture and ex-perience it firsthand.“I didn’t know too

much about the cultureuntil I met my husband,”said Grewal, who is ofMexican descent. “Iwould see the colorfuldresses and uniquedances but I never real-ly understood it. Ilearned a lot by attend-ing this and enjoyed it.”

Deportations reducedfor minor crimesSACRAMENTO

(AP) — Gov. JerryBrown has approved re-ducing the maximumpenalty for a misde-meanor by one day, amove that will signifi-cantly reduce the num-ber of legal immigrantswho can be deported forlesser crimes.Federal law lets legal

immigrants be deportedif they are given a sen-tence of one year ormore. But California law

defines misdemeanors ascrimes qualifying for jailterms of a year or less.SB1310, signed into

law by Brown on Mon-day, reduces the maxi-mum penalty for misde-meanors to 364 days toconform to the federallaw.Advocates project the

one-day change couldaffect thousands of im-migrants in California.The law takes effect in

January.

Gregory Jon Martinez, left, speaks to an unidentified TV reporter Friday about hisson, Alex Gregory Martinez, who was one of two bank robbery suspects killed ina gunbattle with police in Stockton on Wednesday. Martinez said he believed thatpolice’s use of lethal force was justifiable and expressed condolences for thefamily of the hostage found dead after the hour-long robbery, car chase and gunbattle.

when San Joaquin Coun-ty Superior Court JudgeFranklin Stephensonasked if Ramos under-stood his rights.Ramos did not enter a

plea and the judge orderedhim back to court onAug.18. Ramos remains in jailwith no bail set.Deputy Public Defend-

er Jonathan Fattarsi, whorepresents Ramos, said af-ter the hearing that he hadonly spoken briefly withhis client and did not elab-orate.After the brief hearing,

Deputy District AttorneyRobert Himelblau saidmore charges might befiled.“The investigation con-

tinues,” Himelblau said.“There might be a fourthperson we’re interestedin. Four people could turninto five.”Police say three armed

men entered a Bank ofthe West and took threewomen, two bank em-ployees and a customerhostage. The pursuit andshootout followed whenthe robbers fled with thehostages in an SUVowned by one of the em-ployees.Police say Ramos used

41-year-old Misty Holt-Singh as a human shield.She died in the incident.Two other women were

injured but survived afterbeing thrown from themoving vehicle or jump-ing out.The two slain bank

robbers have been identi-fied as 27-year-old Alex

Gregory Martinez and30-year-old GilbertRenteria Jr.Investigators have

linked Martinez to a Jan.31 robbery at the samebank branch through sur-veillance video, witnessstatements and compara-ble circumstances.Police have recovered a

dark-colored Buick sedanseen on video dropping offthe suspects in last week’srobbery. The car had no li-cense plates andwas foundabandoned in a neighbor-hood about a 10-minutedrive from the bank. Thedriver is the subject of anactive search, police said.Relatives have said

they believe police actedappropriately by engagingthe men in a gunbattle,but they struggle to un-derstand what the menwere thinking.Holt-Singh left behind

a husband and two chil-dren, 12 and 19.

West powers strugglingover Ukraine’s future.Russia’s Defense Min-

in the downing of Flight17 — and suggested theUkrainian military was atfault. President VladimirPutin spoke out butshowed no sign of aban-doning the separatists asfighting flared anew nearthe site of the crash.President Barack Oba-

ma accused the rebels oftampering with evidenceand insulting victims’families, warning of newsanctions. Europeanswill consider their ownsanctions Tuesday.The bodies of the 298

victims, most from theNetherlands, have be-come a part of the con-flict in Ukraine becausethey could hold evidenceof what brought theplane down on July 17 asit was flying from Ams-terdam toKuala Lumpur.Grief turned to anger

as families begged to getthe bodies of their lovedones back, while the sep-aratists held on to the re-mains.“Bodies are just lying

there for three days inthe hot sun. There arepeople who have this ontheir conscience,” saidSilene Fredriksz-Hoogzand, whose son,Bryce, and his girlfriendDaisy Oehlers died ontheir way to a vacationin Bali, in an interviewwith The AssociatedPress in the Netherlands.

“When I am in my bedat night, I see my son ly-ing on the ground. ...They have to comehome, not only thosetwo. Everybody has tocome home.”International forensics

experts finally gainedaccess to the crash siteMonday — an emotion-al experience for thehead of the Dutch Na-tional Forensic Investi-gations Team, Peter VanVliet. Seeing the wreck-age gave him goose-bumps, he said.The team stumbled

across remains that hadnot yet been removedand inspected the per-ished passengers’ lug-gage.In Torez, a rebel-held

town 9 miles from thecrash site, inspectorsbowed heads andclasped hands beforeclimbing aboard refrig-erated train cars holdingthe collected bodies.Armed rebels surround-ed them, while com-muters boarded othertrains nearby.

more sweeping action. TheSenate passed legislationlast year with some Re-publican support, but it hasnot been considered by theGOP-controlled House.Now, said Obama, “It’stime to address this injus-tice for everyAmerican.”Obama had faced pres-

sure from opposing flanksover whether he would in-clude an exemption in theexecutive action for reli-gious organizations. Hedecided to maintain a pro-vision that allows religiousgroups with federal con-tracts to hire and fire basedupon religious identity, buthe did not grant any ex-ception to consider sexualorientation or gender iden-

tity. Churches also are ableto hire ministers as theysee fit under the FirstAmendment’s protectionof religious freedom.Objecting to his order,

the U.S. Conference ofCatholic Bishops called itunprecedented and said itlends the government’seconomic power to a“deeply flawed under-standing of human sexual-ity” that faithful Catholicswon’t abide. The groupsaid the executive order isan anomaly because itlacks even the exemptionincluded in the Senate bill.“In the name of forbid-

ding discrimination, thisorder implements discrim-ination,” the group said ina statement.Obama’s action came

on the heels of the U.S.Supreme Court’s recent

ruling in the Hobby Lobbycase that allowed someclosely held private busi-nesses to opt out of thefederal health care law’srequirement that contra-ception coverage be pro-vided to workers at no ex-tra charge. Obama advis-ers said that ruling has noimpact on non-discrimina-tion policies in federal hir-ing and contracting.Obama said 18 states

and more than 200 local

governments already banemployment discrimina-tion based on sexual ori-entation, as well as a ma-jority of Fortune 500 com-panies. But he noted thatmore states allow same-sex marriage than prohib-it gay discrimination inhiring.“It’s not just about doing

the right thing, it’s alsoabout attracting and re-taining the best talent,”Obama said.

The change for federalcontracting will affectsome 24,000 companieswith 28 million workers,or one-fifth of the U.S.workforce. Many largefederal contractors alreadyhave employment policiesbarring anti-gay work-place discrimination.However, theWilliams In-stitute at UCLA LawSchool estimates that theexecutive order would ex-tend protections to about

14 million workers whoseemployers or states cur-rently do not have suchnondiscrimination poli-cies.While few religious or-

ganizations are among thebiggest federal contrac-tors, they do provide sig-nificant services, includingoverseas relief and devel-opment programs and re-entry programs for in-mates leaving federal pris-ons.

Law OKs underagewine and beertasting in collegesSACRAMENTO

(AP) — Aspiring brew-ers and winemakers incollege can legally taste— but not swallow —their products startingwinter semester.Gov. Jerry Brown

signed AB1989 onMonday to fix a situa-tion that prevented somestudents from graduat-ing in four years.The bill’s author

Democratic Assembly-man Wesley Chesbro ofArcata cautions his billdoes not condone cam-pus partying. It only per-mits for sipping and

spitting despite its “Un-derage Drinkers” labelin records. It also onlyextends to students ma-joring in winemakingand brewery science andnot to students lookingfor fun electives.Advocates for the bill

InPennsylvania, a doctorwas removed from clinicalwork after complainingthat on-call doctors wererefusing to go to aVAhos-pital in Wilkes-Barre.Medical professionals

from coast to coast havepointed out problems atthe VA, only to suffer re-taliation from supervisorsand other high-ranking of-ficials, according to a re-port Monday by a privategovernment watchdog.The report compiled by

CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP) — Tony Stewartheads into the busiestweek of his year ridinghigh from a win in hisreturn to sprint car rac-ing.Stewart raced in asprint car last weekendfor the first time sincehe broke his leg in anextracurricular race lastAugust. He missed thefinal 15 weeks of theNASCAR season withthe injury.He vowed he wouldcontinue to live his life,and made good on thatpromise Friday nightwhen he climbed into acar at Tri-City MotorSpeedway in Illinoisand won. He also racedSaturday night at Crys-tal Motor Speedway inMichigan, where he fin-ished third.“It felt great,” saidStewart, who picked apair of low-profile racesto make his return in-stead of joining theWorld of Outlaws,home to the top sprintcar drivers.“The Outlaw serieswas in Pennsylvania, sothat’s probably thetoughest place in thecountry to try to go

back. It’s probably thetoughest race to go to,period,” Stewart said.“I didn’t feel like thatwas probably the bestplace to try to go backfor the first time. But itwas neat to get back inthe car, finally, in a sce-nario that was low pres-sure.”So what’s next? Moreracing, but Stewart saidhis schedule will belighter than he hoped.The three-timeNASCAR champion

discussed extracurricu-lar racing with his man-agement team andStewart-Haas Racingcompetition Greg Zi-padelli and mapped outa schedule that Stewartwill follow. They decid-ed on tracks with slowerspeeds out of safetyconcerns.“There are some racesthat I really have myheart set on running,” hesaid. “I’m trying to besmart about wherewe’re going.”

Rory McIlroy holds the claret jug after winning theBritish Open on Sunday.

Rory McIlroy willemerge evenstronger than everHOYLAKE, England(AP) — The celebrationbegan long before RoryMcIlroy had a chance todrink out of the claretjug.McIlroy was upstairsin the clubhouse at RoyalLiverpool for the tradi-tional toast with theR&A, unable to ignorethe chants below fromclub members waitingfor a glimpse of theBritish Open champion.“Rory! Rory! Rory!”It was a raucous scenefor a club that starts with“Royal,” but such is thepersonality of Liverpool.The members booedanyone who came downthe stairs who did nothave curly brown hair,freckles and a claret jug.And their cheers shookthe brick clubhousewhen BoyWonder final-ly descended with theoldest trophy in golf.The scene was somuch different a yearago.McIlroy stood on apodium in a makeshifttent outside Muirfield,speaking to reporterswith a vacant look inthose brown eyes. Hehad just opened with a79, his worst start ever ina major in what wasshaping up as a year toforget. He had no ideawhat was wrong withhim or his game.“Sometimes I feel likeI’m walking around outthere and I’m uncon-scious,” he said that day.“I just need to try tothink more. I’m trying tofocus and trying to con-centrate but, yeah, I can’treally fathom it at theminute.“I’m definitely underthinking on the golfcourse. Maybe over-thinking off it.”He looked lost.Now he looks like thebest player in golf. Andodds are, the worst oftimes might lead to thebest.If he felt unconsciouson the golf course a yearago, he looked uncon-scious at times at RoyalLiverpool. His golf wassimply explosive on Fri-day afternoon with twobursts of birdies, andplenty of chances in be-tween, on his way to a66. The defining momentof this championshipwas Saturday, whenMcIlroy went from ashare of the lead to sixshots clear in just over anhour. He made eagle on

two of the last threeholes with two mam-moth drives, two prettyswings and two perfectputts.Nothing came easily toMcIlroy over the last 18months.He was criticized forswapping out equipmentwhen he signed amegadeal with Nike. Heshowed his age when hequit in the middle of theHonda Classic and ini-tially blamed it on a sorewisdom tooth. Hechanged agents for thesecond time, and law-suits followed that arestill to be decided incourt. He got engaged totennis player CarolineWozniacki to start thenew year, then broke itoff with a telephone callin May.And there he was onSunday, introduced asthe “champion golfer ofthe year,” his nameetched in silver, his eyesgazing at all the nameson that claret jug.Asked for a low pointduring his struggles,McIlroy didn’t hesitate.“This time last year,”he said.Through it all, the 25-year-old from NorthernIreland never doubted hecould return. He won theU.S. Open and the PGAChampionship by eightshots. That wasn’t an ac-cident. He won the mon-ey title on both sides ofthe Atlantic. There wasnever a question of hisskill.“It was just trying tofind a way to make itcome out again,” McIl-roy said. “But yeah, def-initely, missing the cut atMuirfield last year was avery low point. I nevermissed a cut at The Openbefore. I said to myself,‘I’ll try to never makethat happen again.’ It’sbeen huge what a differ-ence a year makes. Butit’s turned into a greatyear.”And the tough timesshould only lead to bettertimes.Tom Watson knowsthat as well as anyone.He flopped badly in hisfirst couple of shots at amajor until he won theOpen at Carnoustie in1975, the first of eightmajors and a career thatranks among the best. Heplayed the British Openfor the 37th time.Watsonhas seen a lot in his ca-reer, and failure piques

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart spent the off week picking up a win Friday inhis return to sprint car racing after breaking his leg in a race in August.

Manziel scores as NFL’s top-selling jerseyCLEVELAND (AP) — Sec-ond on Cleveland’s depth chart,JohnnyManziel already tops oneNFL list.The popular rookie quarter-back, who will begin his firsttraining camp this week as abackup, had the league’s top-sell-ing jersey since April 1. Theleague said Monday thatManziel’s No. 2 outsold all oth-ers from April 1 to July 17 onNFLShop.com.Dick’s Sporting Goods alsosaid that Manziel’s jersey is itstop seller.Manziel is followed on the

NFLShop.com list by three quar-terbacks: Seattle’s Russell Wil-son, San Francisco’s ColinKaepernick and Denver’s PeytonManning. Seahawks cornerbackRichard Sherman is fifth fol-lowed by St. Louis rookieMichael Sam, the league’s firstopenly gay player.New England’s Tom Brady isseventh and New Orleans QBDrew Brees is eighth on the list.Minnesota rookie quarterbackTeddy Bridgewater is 13th andHouston defensive end JadeveonClowney, the top overall pick,had the 16th best-selling jersey.

The league did not say howmany Manziel jerseys — pricedat $99.95 a pop — sold duringthe period. More than a fewseemed to have been purchasedin the Cleveland area, wherebrown or white Manziel jerseyscan be found all over the city.The Browns drafted the formerTexas A&M star, who earned hisJohnny Football nickname withhis playmaking ability, with theNo. 22 overall pick on May 8.He’s scheduled to report to train-ing camp onWednesday and willbattle with Brian Hoyer to beCleveland’s starter.

flag falls on the trucks,Stewart will shift to Indi-anapolis Motor Speed-way to prepare for Sun-day’s Sprint Cup race.The two-time Brickyardwinner returns to hishome track winless onthe season and 19th inthe standings, but hope-ful he can get a break-through victory on thehallowed Indianapolisgrounds.It doesn’t hurt, Stewart

believes, that he won inhis sprint car last week-end.“Everybody loves

good juju,” he laughed.“It was more than just agood way to start theweek. It was a confi-dence boost for me.When you haven’t won,and you haven’t beennecessarily a contenderto be in the top two orthree each week and hav-ing those opportunities towin races, you start ques-tioning what is it in theequation that you’re

missing. To be able to goout and win on Fridaynight and run third onSaturday night, and tohave two good runs likethat in a car that I haven’t

been in for almost a fullyear now, that was ahuge confidence boostand made me feel like,hey, maybe we’ll justfind something else.”

Full-contact footballpractices restrictedSACRAMENTO (AP)—Gov. Jerry

Brown announced Monday that he hassigned a bill limiting full-contact foot-ball practices at middle and highschools in response to concerns aboutconcussions, even as many teams al-ready comply with the rules.Brown approved the bill, AB 2127,

with the support of medical groups andthe California Interscholastic Federa-tion, which oversees California highschool athletics.Assemblyman Ken Cooley, D-Ran-

cho Cordova, said his bill is motivatedby parents worried about the risks as-sociated with concussions, which in-clude long-term brain damage and ear-ly onset dementia.Under the legislation taking effect in

2015, drills involving game-speedtackling are prohibited in the offseason.They are limited to 90-minute sessionstwice a week the rest of the year. Therules apply to public, private and char-

ter schools.“There’s really not a big uproar

about this because it really is nothingnew for our coaches,” said Brian Sey-mour, a senior director with the Cali-fornia Interscholastic Federation.His organization has also addressed

concussion risks by limiting total prac-tice time to 18 hours per week. At thecollege level, the Ivy League and Pac-12 Conference have reduced full-con-tact practice to cut down on head in-juries.Some lawmakers questioned

whether the issue merits state regula-tion and whether the proposal puts stu-dents at a competitive disadvantagewhen competing against students inother states.Cooley notes that Texas, the setting

of the “Friday Night Lights” book andTV series, has even stricter rules by al-lowing only one 90-minute full-contactsession a week.

his interest as much assuccess.“He’s gone through a

struggle with his golfgame over a period oftime,” Watson said ofMcIlroy. “And now itseems like he’s got itback. And you learn alot from your failures.And he’ll come backstronger if you fail. Iknow it was a burdenon him. The frustration

was there with him. Allgolfers feel the samefrustration.You’ve gonethrough the low spells.You’ve gone throughthe times where youcouldn’t break an egg.“And then finally, all

of a sudden, the lightswitch will turn on ...and it gets easy. That’swhat happened to memany times in my ca-reer. And it seems likeit’s happened to Rory.”Where does McIlroy

go from here? He hasmoved to No. 2 in theworld behind Adam

Scott. Even though thePGA Championship isthree weeks away, hiseyes already are lookingahead to Augusta Na-tional in April, a shot atthe Masters to becomeonly the sixth player tocomplete the careerGrand Slam.“When he’s in

rhythm, he’s phenome-nal,” Scott said. “Hedoesn’t have weakness-es and he has morestrengths than mostanyone else. When he’sin rhythm, you’ll seehim shoot low numbers

Witness: Sterling needsClippers sale to pay debtsLOS ANGELES (AP)

— The chief financialofficer of Donald Ster-ling’s properties saidMonday that the billion-aire may be forced tosell a large portion of hisreal estate empire tocover $500 million inloans if he persists in re-fusing to sell the LosAngeles Clippers for $2billion.Darren Schield, who

oversees the finances ofThe Sterling FamilyTrust, testified Mondaythat three banks areready to recall their loansto Sterling because of hisdecision to dissolve thetrust. His move was de-signed to rescind hissigned agreement for thesale of the Clippers, ateam he bought for $12

million.Schield said if Sterling

has to dump $500 mil-lion worth of apartmentbuildings he could desta-bilize the Los Angelesreal estate market.Sterling attorney

Maxwell Blecher sug-gested that Sterling couldtake the company publicin order to raise funds.But Shelly Sterling’s

lawyer, Pierce O’Don-nell asked if it would beeasy to go public “withDonald Sterling’s reputa-tion.”Schield responded:

“There’s huge reputationissues. I don’t know ifanyone would want to gointo partnership withhim.”The NBA banned

Donald Sterling for life

for making racist state-ments after the release ofrecorded conversations.Sterling has denied he isa racist from the witnessstand.Schield testified in the

probate trial that if Ster-ling’s loans go into de-fault and he needs to re-finance, banks would bereluctant to give him thatmuch money at the lowrate he has now.“I know the bank

looks at this as a highercredit risk with all thisgoing on,” he said. “Therate would go up consid-erably.”Sterling, the volatile

owner of the team,agreed to the sale butthen dissolved the familytrust in an effort to stopit.

DEAR READERS:On April 11, I printed aletter from “Wonderingin Washington,” a manasking why young menin general today have theattitude that “any moneyI earn is mine” in a mar-riage or live-in situation.He said when he mar-ried, he and his wife con-sidered what they earnedto be “theirs” — not hisor hers. When I askedmy “younger readers” tochime in, I was inundat-ed. Some excerpts:DEAR ABBY: My

husband was 26 and Iwas 24 when we gotmarried. To me, howyoung couples handlemoney says a lot abouttheir attitude towardmarriage.My mother always

said, “If you can’t trust aman with your money,why would you trust himwith your heart?” I keptthat in mind when I wasdating, so when myboyfriend and I married,we didn’t have seriousunderlying issues likeaddiction, compulsivespending, etc. — MOMOF 2 IN SEATTLEDEAR ABBY: I’m a

man in my mid-30s; mywife is in her mid-20s.Many of our friends keeptheir finances separate,and the reason usuallyinvolves hearing theirparents argue over mon-ey. What I find interest-ing is that the wife usu-ally came up with theidea.I believe the separation

of incomes starts withyoung women embrac-

ing messages of empow-erment they heard grow-ing up and applyingthem not only to theworkplace, but home, aswell — plus a healthydose of entitlement thatseems common to theirgeneration. — JUSTSAYING, IN WISCON-SINDEAR ABBY: Male

reader here. Gone are thedays of the stay-at-homewife who takes care ofthe house and raises thechildren. I’m as guilty ofthose preconceptions asanyone. I thought mar-riage meant being totallydevoted to your spouseand you discussed every-thing.I now believe both par-

ties in a relationship havefinancial responsibilitiesto the other. In my firstmarriage, the majority offinancial responsibilitiesfell on me. The financialobligations in my secondmarriage are different.We have a separatemaintenance agreement.I pay only part of our liv-ing expenses. I can spendwhatever I want, when Iwant, on whatever Iwant. This has preventedmany disagreements. —J.G. IN TEXAS

While I was talking witha gifted pianist, sheasked me if I played

any musical instruments. WhenI responded, “I play the radio,”she laughed and asked if I hadever wanted to play any instru-ment. My embarrassed answerwas, “I took piano lessons as aboy but gave it up.” Now, in myadult years, I regret not continu-ing with the piano. I love musicand wish I could play today.That conversation was a freshreminder to me that life is oftenconstituted by the choices we

make — and some of them produce regret.Some choices produce much more serious and

painful regrets. King David discovered this when hechose to sleep with another man’s wife and then killedthat man. He described the guilt that filled him as dev-astating, saying, “When I kept silent, my bones grewold through my groaning all the day long. For day andnight Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality wasturned into the drought of summer” (Ps. 32:3-4). ButDavid acknowledged and confessed his sin to God andfound forgiveness (v.5).It is only from God that we can receive the grace of

forgiveness when our choices have produced painfulregrets. And only in Him do we find the wisdom tomake better choices.Father of mercies, forgive me for the foolish choices

I have made. Please enable me to be wiser inmy choices. Teach me the value of resting

in Your grace.

Andy Serkis plays Caesar in a scene from the film, “Dawn of the Planet of theApes.”

NEW YORK (AP)— The summer boxoffice continued tolack mojo, as the R-rat-ed “Sex Tape” failed toturn on moviegoersover a weekend where“Dawn of the Planet ofthe Apes” maintainedits rule.20th Century Fox’s

science fiction sequeloutmuscled a trio ofnew films to top theNorth American boxoffice for the second-straight week with $36million, according tostudio estimates Sun-day. The acclaimed se-quel to 2011’s rebootof the chimp franchisehas now made $139million domestically intwo weeks.Its closest comple-

tion over the weekendwas the home-invasionhorror thriller “ThePurge: Anarchy,” writ-ten and directed byJames DeMoncaco.Universal’s low-bud-get sequel to last year’ssurprise hit, “ThePurge,” opened with$28.4 million, downfrom the $34.1 millionthe original scared up

on opening weekend.Nikki Rocco, head of

distribution for Universal,though, noted the strongercompetition this timearound and the overall“depressed” business atmovie theaters. Weekendrevenue was down 24percent from the sameweekend last year, contin-uing a cold summer forHollywood that’s morethan 20 percent off thepace of summer of 2013.

James Garner,reluctant TV,film hero, diesNEW YORK (AP) —

Few actors could registerdisbelief, exasperation orannoyance with morecomic subtlety.James Garner had a

way of widening his eyeswhile the corner of hismouth sagged ever soslightly. Maybe he wouldswallow once to furthermake his point.This portrait of fleeting

disquiet could be under-

stood, and identified with,by every member of theaudience. Never mindGarner was tall, brawnyand, well, movie-starhandsome. The personahe perfected was neverless than manly, goodwith his dukes and charm-ing to the ladies, but hisheroics were kept human-scale thanks to his gift forthe comic turn. He re-mained one of the people.He burst on the scene

with this disarming stylein the 1950s TV Western“Maverick,” which led toa stellar career in TV andfilms such as “The Rock-ford Files” and his Oscar-nominated “Murphy’sRomance.”The 86-year-old Gar-

ner, who was found deadof natural causes at hisLos Angeles home onSaturday, was adept atdrama and action. But hewas best known for hislow-key, wisecrackingstyle, especially on his hitTV series, “Maverick”and “The RockfordFiles.”

Several organizationsare at work trying to con-vince Congress to make ahuge investment in thenation’s infrastructure,which has sounded like agood idea ever since therecession started and fed-eral money was madeready to fund “shovelready” projects.The trouble was, back

then in 2007 thereweren’t many “shovelready” projects. Oh, therewas a bridge here, a roadthere ready to go, but themultibillion-dollar proj-ects that were supposedto kick start the economyjust weren’t on any draw-ing boards.Also, nobody was ex-

NOTICE OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION HEARINGS REGARDING PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC .13-12-012)

The California Public Utilities Commission would like to hear from you. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will hold a series of Public Participation Hearings (PPHs) to

request to increase its Gas Transmission and

area. Details of locations, dates and times are noted below. PG&E is requesting a revenue requirement increase of $555 million for 2015 over the currently authorized level for 2014 of $731 million for a total of $1.286 billion. PG&E also requests additional base revenue requirement increases of $61 million for 2016 and $168 million for 2017. The application requests that the CPUC authorize the

s that quickly turn off the flow of gas in an emergency.

that help PG&E meet peak-hour demand.

If the request is approved, gas rates will increase effective January 1, 2015. A residential customer using the system-wide average of 34 therms per month would see a monthly gas bill increase of $5.23 (or 12.6 percent), from $41.53 to $46.76. A small business customer using 284 therms per month would see a gas bill increase of $42.50 (or 16 percent), from $266.15 to $308.65. Since this estimate is based on an average, individual

-core customers may also see increases in their transportation rates. A detailed chart illustrating the revenue impact by customer class was provided to customers with the December bill. Public Participation Hearings The hearings are held to give the public a chance to express their opinion on the proposed increase before the CPUC. The PPHs will be presided over by a CPUC Administrative Law Judge. One or more CPUC Commissioners may be present, but no formal action on the proceeding will be taken at the PPH. The CPUC

representatives from PG&E will also be there to assist with individual customer billing or service concerns. PPH Dates, Times and Locations Anyone wishing to present their views to the Commission may attend one of the hearings scheduled below:

Beef pollutes more than pork, poultry, study saysWASHINGTON (AP)

— Raising beef for theAmerican dinner tabledoes far more damage tothe environment than pro-ducing pork, poultry, eggsor dairy, a new study says.Compared with the oth-

er animal proteins, beefproduces five times moreheat-trapping gases percalorie, puts out six timesas much water-pollutingnitrogen, takes 11 timesmore water for irrigationand uses 28 times theland, according to thestudy, published Mondayin the journal Proceedingsof the National Academyof Sciences.Cows are not efficient at

converting feed to proteinfor human consumption,said lead author Gidon Es-hel, an environmentalphysics professor at BardCollege in New York.Eshel used U.S. gov-

ernment figures to calcu-late air and water emis-sions and how much wa-

ter and land were used inthe lifetime production ofbeef, pork, poultry, dairyand eggs. While otherstudies have looked atthe issue, this is one ofthe most comprehensivepieces of research quan-tifying and comparingthe U.S. environmentalcosts of different meatsand other animal protein.The beef industry called

the study “a gross over-simplification of the com-plex systems that make up

the beef value chain.”Kim Stackhouse, sus-

tainability director at theNational Cattlemen’sBeef Association, saidthat the industry has im-proved its environmentalsustainability in recentyears and that the UnitedStates produces beef withthe lowest greenhouse gasemissions of any country.In the study, pork, poul-

try, dairy and eggs all hadcomparable environmen-tal footprints, so close

there were no statisticallysignificant differencesamong them, Eshel said.

But cows were off-the-chart different. The studydid not look at plants orfish raised for human con-sumption.Cows burp major

amounts of methane, agreenhouse gas that isdozens of times more po-tent than carbon dioxide.Their digestive systemmakes them produce con-siderably more methanethan pigs, chickens orturkeys do, Eshel said.The manure used to growfeed for cows also releas-es methane, as does theirown bodily waste.

Because they are biggerand take longer to put onweight for meat, cows eatmore food over their life-times than other animalsraised for protein.Nitrogen, from fertiliz-

er runoff, can harmrivers, lakes and bays,causing oxygen-depleted“dead zones.” The use ofirrigation water is a ma-jor issue out West whenthere are droughts, likethe current one in Cali-fornia. So much landused for farming changesthe biodiversity of a loca-tion, Eshel said.

Magnuson brothers earn Eagle Scout honorsBy Ronald MontezTHE MADERATRIBUNE

Following in their old-er brothers’ footsteps, lo-cal residents Cody andConner Magnusonreached the highest rankpossible in the BoyScouts of America, aneducational youth organi-zation focused on a vari-ety of skill and characterbuilding activities.Joining their older sib-

lings Caleb, Kyle andKevin Magnuson, Codyand Conner earned theEagle Scout honor fortheir years of contribu-tions and accomplish-ments with Troop 116.In front of friends, fam-

ily, fellow scouts andMadera County District 2supervisor David Rogers,the Magnuson brotherswere recognized for theirachievement in a ceremo-ny inside the MaderaUnited Methodist Churchon Saturday.TheMagnuson brothers

recited the Eagle Scoutoath, accepted EagleScout neckerchiefs, andpresented mentor pins toscout leaders who wereinstrumental in helpingthem earn the new rank,earned by a small per-centage of Boy Scoutsgenerally.Years of focus, determi-

nation and strong encour-agement from othershelped Cody — a 2012

valedictorian ofChawanakee CharterAcademy — become anEagle Scout, he said.“I had a lot of support

and this troop is reallystrong in helping andpushing the scouts to suc-ceed,” Cody said. “One ofthe biggest things thathelped me get this wasthere were a lot peoplewho guided me along the

way and if you don’t havethat support, it’s reallyhard to get the Eagle.”For Conner — the

youngest of the brothersand a 2014 valedictorianof Chawanakee academy— it was a milestone heknew he had to reach.“I didn’t want to be the

one brother that didn’thave it,” Conner said witha chuckle. “My brothersgot their Eagles when Iwas younger and I sawwhat they achieved andhow they worked up to itand it was something thatI wanted. I wanted tostick with it until theend.”To complete their re-

quirements for the honor,both Magnuson brothershad a final project to top-ple.Inspired by his dad and

scoutmaster JerryMagnu-son, Conner built lakefish habitats. This includ-ed drawing up the plansfor them, ordering sup-plies, getting the projectapproved and supervisingthe construction.“I learned a lot of lead-

ership skills with thatproject,” Magnuson said.“Most of the kids work-ing on the project wereabout 12-years-old andthe hardest part was I hadto instruct the kids be-cause I really couldn’t doanything with my hands.But I stuck through it andwas able to finish.”

Starting up at CampAdahiHidden away among

the trees, a summer campfor children ages 9 and upcomes alive each andevery year for a singleweek in the month of Ju-ly. Camp Fire kids fromnear and far flock toCamp Adahi for a weekfull of fun, laughter, andgreat food.The camp is divided in-

to two sections (for sleep-ing), and the campers aredispersed between sixtribes—the Zuni’s (exit-ing 3rd grade), the Nava-jos (exiting 4th grade), theCherokees (exiting 5thgrade), the Comanches(exiting 6th grade), theKiowas (exiting 7thgrade), and the Apaches(exiting 8th grade).For a camper, camp be-

gins on Sunday; however,

for a counselor, getting tocamp is a much longerprocess.For myself, packing for

camp can be a seeminglyendless process. Whetherthis can be attributed tothe fact that I waited untilFriday night to start pack-ing, or the attempt to fit amillion and one things in-to my duffle bag, is stillleft to be determined.As I come to Adahi

year after year, I havefound that my packing listgradually becomes longerand longer. From the craftsupplies to the flashlight,we are always afraid thatwe will forget something,and the minute we drivethrough the Adahi gate,we remember that one ap-parently essential thing.However, after settling in,items that were left athome are either forgottenor borrowed from friendsor counselors, and the cri-sis is averted.Preparation for camp

begins long before thefrantic night before camppacking. Beginning inJanuary, the Camp Adahisteering committee meetsto discuss all of the logis-tics and organizational

aspects of camp. It istheir hard work through-out the year that keepsCamp Adahi up and run-ning. Over the summer,counselors go throughmany training sessions toprepare us for anythingand everything that couldhappen up at camp.The weekend prior to

camp beginning, “SetupWeekend,” is a time duringwhich Camp Fire familiesvolunteer to come help getthe essential parts of campset up. The kitchen, thenurses shed, and the tablesand benches are just a fewof the things that need tobe prepped, put out, andcleaned. Their hard workallows the staff (who comeup a day early) to finish allof the little details beforethe campers arrive.Around 1 o’clock on

Sunday afternoon,campers start to trickle in.

This year, they broughtwith them a surprise —rain. Right aroundlunchtime, as the camperswere caravanning up themountain, a sprinkle be-gan. Although the raincontinued as they unloadedtheir belongings, the staffwere well prepared, andthe bed setup wentsmoothly. The rain let upsoon after, and campersbegan to tidy up their liv-ing spaces—making theirbeds, sweeping tarps, andcreating trails.Then the campers were

chargedwith creating theirtribe’s symbol-gram out ofany items they could findin the forest surroundingthem. These pieces of artare judged, and winner isannounced at the end oftheweek.After they took atour of camp, the tribesplayed bonding games un-til dinnertime.One of the most memo-

rable camp traditions isbrought back to life duringthe first meal each and

every year. Of all the rulesat Camp Adahi, at meal-time, only one reignssupreme: DO NOT PUTYOUR ELBOWS ONTHETABLE. If you breakthis rule, you will be sub-jected to “the wheel” —consequences of whichrange from hugging a tree,singing, or sitting in acreek!After dinner, the entire

camp participated in bond-ing games before headingto council fire. As the sunset and the stars began toappear, the entire camp sataround the fire dancing,laughing, and singingsongs late into the night.Because we do not usetents at camp Adahi, weare very fortunate to beable to gaze up at the starsas we drift to sleep.As the first day of camp

draws to a close, the air isstatic with excitement andanticipation for theweek tocome.We can’t wait to seewhat this year will bring!

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 informa-tion 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 visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case file number. 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 veri-fy postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
