that Madera South andMadera High Schoolperform.“They put the manag-

er of Foreigner in touchwith me and we justworked it from there,”Harabedian said. “Weinvited North to be partof that so it’s our wholecommunity, not just us.It’s really great that thepeople at the MaderaFair wanted to keep it lo-cal because there are somany good choirsaround.”When Harabedian an-

nounced to his studentsthat they would have anopportunity to be onstage with Foreigner,most of them did notknow who that bandwas. They were still ex-cited, however, becausethey have the chance toperform live in front of alarge crowd.“Once we started ex-

plaining and they startedlearning a little bit onwho Foreigner was, theygot more and more ex-cited,” Harabedian said.“They’ve been sayinghow much they’re look-

ing forward to it.”Harabedian, who has

taught at Madera Southfor 11 years, is confidentthe choir will performwell. It is a great oppor-tunity for students tosing with a famous rockband, he said.“It’s only one song,

but we still get to be onstage with Foreigner,”Harabedian said. “I’veknown them for a longtime and they’re a giantin the rock industry. Thisis such a great opportu-nity and this is some-thing the kids will re-member for the rest oftheir lives.”Harabedian had t-

shirts designed for thechoir to look uniform, hesaid. Initially he suggest-ed the title “MaderaRock Stars” to be print-ed on the t-shirts, but hisstudents “were a littlemore humble than that,”he said. In the end theychose the title “MaderaChamber Singers.”Most of his Chamber

choir students are girls,Harabedian said. Al-though there are boysthat are up to par withstandards from his be-ginner’s class, there weretoo few of them. The

girls’ voices would over-power the boys’, he said.“There are some boys

from Madera High whowill be joining us for theaudition,” Harabedian said.

“Hopefully we don’t end upwith an awkward situationwith one or two boys buteven if we do it’ll work. It’sa special thing, so it’llwork.”

Court rules against gay marriage bans in 2 statesCHICAGO (AP) — A

U.S. appeals court ruledThursday that same-sexmarriage bans inWiscon-sin and Indiana violate theU.S. Constitution, in an-other in a series of court-room wins for gay-mar-riage advocates.The unanimous deci-

sion by the three-judgepanel of the U.S. 7th Cir-cuit Court of Appeals inChicago criticized the jus-tifications both statesgave for the bans, severaltimes singling out the ar-gument that marriage be-tween a man and awoman is tradition. Thereare, the court noted, goodand bad traditions.“Bad traditions that are

historical realities such ascannibalism, foot-bind-

ing, and suttee, and tradi-tions that from a public-policy standpoint are nei-ther good nor bad— suchas trick-or-treating onHalloween,” it said. “Tra-dition per se thereforecannot be a lawful groundfor discrimination-regard-less of the age of the tra-dition.”Same-sex marriage is

legal in 19 states and theDistrict of Columbia.Bans that have been over-turned in some otherstates continue to maketheir way through thecourts. Since last year, thevast majority of federalrulings have declaredsame-sex marriages bansunconstitutional.Wisconsin Attorney

General J.B Van Hollen

said he would appealThursday’s ruling to theU.S. Supreme Court.The Wisconsin and In-

diana cases shifted toChicago after attorneysgeneral in the states ap-pealed separate lowercourt rulings in June thattossed the bans. The 7thCircuit stayed those rul-ings pending its own de-cision on the cases, whichwere considered simulta-neously.Between the bans being

struck down and the orderreinstating them as the ap-peals process ran itscourse, hundreds of gaycouple in both statesrushed to marry. Thosemarriages could havebeen jeopardized had the

and those filings hadnothing to do with the citycouncil’s decision.“This is part of his eval-

uation process, and we feltit was necessary to puthim on administrativeleave,” Walker said.Lewis told the Bee in a

statement he wasn’t toldwhy he was placed onleave, but hinted it was re-taliation because he re-ported a city councilmember for possible vio-lation of state electionlaws.“I’d like to clear my

name, as I’ve done noth-ing wrong,” Lewis said. “Iwork at the pleasure of thecouncil and they can dis-miss me at any time with-out cause.”Earlier this year, the city

reported its fourth-straightadoption of a balancedbudget — $28.1 million— for the 2014-2015 fis-cal year since Lewis tookover and instituted a hostof cost-cutting measures.The two complaints

against Lewis, filed by a

former and current em-ployee, each cite Lewis,their supervisor, as thecause of emotional dis-tress while on the job, theBee reported.Each seeks damages in

excess of $10,000.Furthermore, according

to the Bee, the city’s for-mer finance directorSharon Briscue claimsLewis fed the city councilfalse information about itsfinances.The complaint states

Briscoe spoke to Chow-chilla’s mayor withoutLewis’ approval — as hesupposedly mandated re-garding conversations be-tween city staff and thecouncil —which alleged-ly incited his ire.“If I find out that you

have been talking to thecity council about any-thing that could harm mein any way, you will dis-appear,” the claim saysLewis told Briscoe. “Youwill be gone.”The city has 60 days to

make a decision on thatand another claim, whichcontends Lewis approveda construction projectwithout following the

proper channels and retal-iated against awomanwhovoiced concerns about it.If the claims are reject-

ed, a lawsuit can be filedwithin half a year.Varney, in a race for

Madera County Sheriffthis November, is not newto playing double duty aspolice chief and city man-ager. He said he couldn’tcomment on personnelmatters.In 2009, Varney was

named to the position fol-lowing the removal ofNancy Red and held thejob for two years beforeLewis — fired as Stock-ton’s city manager in2006 — was brought onboard.Varney has often cited

his work in that time toget Chowchilla’s flailingfinances under control inthe campaign for sheriff,where he faces currentundersheriff Michael Sal-vador.The two men are ex-

pected to meet at a candi-date’s forum in Oakhurstthis month to debate theirpositions and answer thepublic’s questions.

State group, the alliancemade no specific pledgesof action.NATOSecretary-GeneralAnders Fogh Ras-mussen said he believedthe broader internationalcommunity “has an obliga-tion to stop the IslamicState from advancing fur-ther” and would seriouslyconsider requests for assis-tance, particularly from theIraqi government.The Islamic State group

moved up the list of inter-national priorities as themilitants pressed throughIraq with lighting speedearlier this year. Thegroup, which seeks to cre-ate a caliphate, or Islamistnation-state, in theMideast, is consideredeven more merciless to-ward its enemies than the

al-Qaida terror network,and intelligence officialsacross the world warn that

with hundreds of West-erners fighting for them,it may soon seek to seed

its violence beyond its de-clared borders.The U.S. began launch-

ing airstrikes against mili-tant targets in Iraq lastmonth, with Britain join-ingAmerican forces in hu-manitarian airdrops to be-sieged minority popula-tions. Themilitants’killingof two American journal-ists inside Syria has raiseddiscussion of targeting thegroup there as well.White House officials

said they did not expectNATO to commit to amilitary mission againstthe group during the sum-mit. Still, they raised theprospect that the end ofNATO’s combat missionin Afghanistan — an ef-fort that has consumed thealliance for more than adecade — could allowmember states to focustheir attention elsewhere.“What you see the al-

liance doing at this summitis looking atmore than onedirection at a time,” said

Douglas Lute, the U.S.ambassador to NATO.Indeed, the threat posed

by the Islamic State over-shadowed some of theNATO summit’s officialagenda, which was in-tended to focus on cele-brating the Afghan draw-down of troops and con-structing a rapid responseforce on the alliance’seastern flank that couldserve as a deterrent toRussian aggression.

Holder said Barbier’s ruling“will ensure that the com-pany is held fully account-able for its recklessness”and will “serve as a strongdeterrent to anyone temptedto sacrifice safety and theenvironment in the pursuitof profit.”Barbier held a non-jury

trial last year to identifythe blowout’s causes andapportion blame for thedisaster, and onThursdayhe ruled that BPbears 67percent of the responsi-bility, Swiss-baseddrilling rig ownerTransocean Ltd. 30 per-cent, and Houston-basedcement contractor Hal-liburton Energy Services3 percent.BP made “profit-dri-

7th Circuit restored thebans.By standards of the 7th

circuit, the decision wasunusually fast — comingjust nine days after oralarguments — suggestingunanimity came easily tothe panel.Judge Richard Posner,

an appointee of Repubi-can President RonaldReagan in 1981, wroteThursday’s opinion forthe panel. During oral ar-guments, it was Posnerwho fired the toughestquestions at defenders ofthe bans, often expressingexasperation at their an-swers.The ruling echoes his

comments during oral ar-

guments that “hate” un-derpinned the gay-mar-riage bans, saying, “Ho-mosexuals are among themost stigmatized misun-derstood, and discriminat-ed-against minorities inthe history of the world.”The states argued that

the prohibitions helpedfoster a centuries-old tra-dition of marriage be-tween men and women,and that the regulation ofthe institution of marriagewas a tool for society toattempt to prevent preg-nancies out of wedlock.Thursday’s opinion

went back to that issue re-peatedly, noting that sometraditions, such as shakinghands or men wearingties, may “seem silly” but“are at least harmless.”That, though, is not the

case when it comes to

gay-marriage bans, thecourt said.“If no social benefit is

conferred by a traditionand it is written into lawand it discriminates againsta number of people anddoes them harm beyondjust offending them, it isnot just a harmlessanachronism; it is a viola-tion of the equal protectionclause,” the opinion says.Aconstitutional amend-

ment approved in 2006 byvoters banned gay mar-

riage in Wisconsin, whilestate law prohibited it inIndiana. Neither state rec-ognized same-sex mar-riages performed in othersstates.In court filings, attor-

neys representing Wis-consin and Indiana arguedthat nothing in the U.S.Constitution preventedthem from implementingand enforcing the bans.Gay-marriage advocatessaid they violated equalprotection guarantees.

Coyotes get comebackwin in home openerBy Tyler A. TakedaTHE MADERATRIBUNE

After a while, it turned into agame of “what you can do, I cando better,” between two of thebest players on the court in a girlsvolleyball match between Gold-en Valley-Merced and theMadera Coyotes.It was Fresno State recruit

Brielle Hefner’s Coyotes gettingthe upper hand on Cal recruit Be-len Castillo and the Cougars infive sets Tuesday in Joe FloresGym in Madera’s home opener.“She made me step up,” Hefn-

er said. “She was a one-man teamover there, so I have to step it upfor my team. I wanted the ball.”Hefner finished with a triple-

double, recording 22 kills to gowith 10 digs and 10 blocks.Castillo ended up with 27 kills.“The big ones went at it,” head

coach Robyn Royston said. “Thisis a different role for her. It’s adifferent mental game. She’s al-ways been a physical leader, butthis year, she’s working on beinga mental leader. The kids look upto her and want to make this a bigseason. She wants to go out witha bang.”At one point, with Castillo

serving, Hefner was having trou-ble with Castillo’s serve and triedto have the teammake a differentalignment. Royston was havingnone of that and ordered Hefnerto go back where she was andtake the serve. She received theserve that resulted in a side out.“She has to believe in herself,”

Royston said. “She has to have alittle bit more confidence.”Hefner received a little more

help than Castillo. Coyote team-mates KylanMalady recorded 16kills and Erin Drew added 11.“The seniors are really trying

to step it up this year,” Hefnersaid.The Cougars jumped out to a

6-1 lead from the start. Maderacut the lead to two behind an acefrom Kelli Foley, but two GoldenValley aces and a kill fromCastillo opened the lead to 11-4.Hefner took command and put

down three straight kills to cutthe lead to 12-8. A Drew kill cutthe lead to three, but Golden Val-

ley extended the lead to seven.A kill from Castillo and two

aces opened GoldenValley’s leadto 24-16. A Malady kill and aHefner kill cut the lead by two,but Castillo closed the set with akill for a 25-19 win.After a Hefner kill gave the

Madera South running back Maurice McClain willlook for more open room to run against Kermantonight in a non-league match-up in Memorial Sta-dium.

Stallions ready forphysical battleBy Ronald MontezTHE MADERATRIBUNE

For the second gamein a row, the MaderaSouth football team willhost a Div. IV schoolfrom the North SequoiaLeague but will hope forbetter results than it hadin its Week 0 opener.After losing in a hard-

fought 27-14 game to theexplosive ChowchillaRedskins last Friday, theStallions (0-1) will try tobounce back against theKerman Lions (1-0)tonight at 7 in MemorialStadium.With first-year head

coach Dane Cook guid-ing a hard-hittingMadera South teamagainst a solid J.D. Bur-nett-coached Kermansquad, don’t expect a pil-low fight in this game.“We want to play a

certain style of footballand that is physical,”said Cook, who’s alsothe team’s defensive co-ordinator. “In our lastgame, I thought weplayed pretty physical onboth sides of the ball. Ithink Kerman’s a physi-cal team too — evenmore on the lines thanChowchilla was — soit’s going to be somesmash-mouth footballtonight. We just have toplay more assignment-sound and error-freefootball. We’re going tocompete and that’s thebottom line.”Cook knows the de-

fense will have to shoreup the line of scrimmageafter allowing a coupleof back-breaking runsagainst Chowchilla, in-cluding touchdownjaunts of 45, 42, 73 and20 yards.“I feel Chowchilla had

an advantage of teamspeed on us but otherthan that I don’t feel ourkids got pushed aroundon the line,” Cook said.“Our front seven kind ofheld their ground butthey (the Lions) are go-ing to try the same thingsthat hurt us last week.We have to improve onthat and pick it up.”

The Lions finished 7-5overall last season,which included a 37-14win over the Stallions inthe season opener.In last year’s game

against Madera South,Kerman quarterbackEvan Sagariballa com-pleted 8-of-17 passes for118 yards with twotouchdowns and zero in-terceptions. The seniorsignal-caller led the Li-ons to a 42-0 win overSelma in last week’sopener by going 4-of-8for 98 yards and a touch-down. Most of the Lions’damage was done on theground as they rushedfor 218 yards and fourtouchdowns in the rout.“We’ve watched film

on them and they areprobably better than theywere last year — theylook really good,” Cooksaid. “They’re big, phys-ical, fast and strong. Ob-viously they have goodrunning backs and guyswho can run but I thinkit all starts up front. I sawthe film against Selmaand Kerman seemed toreally control the line ofscrimmage. They havesome big guys who justget off and push people.If you can control theline of scrimmage thenanybody can run the ball,so right off the bat wejust kind of have to holdour ground on the frontlines.”The Stallion defensive

line was led by ThomasDoyle, who had a team-high nine tackles andtwo quarterback pres-sures against the Red-skins.Aside from the bigtouchdown runs, lastweek’s defensive front ofMiguel Villanueva,Roberto Alvarez, CodyLundy, Daniel Lupercio,Nathan Chavez,Matthew Marquez, andJonathan Abraham keptthe Redskins’ runninggame pretty pedestrian.“All our interior guys,

they just have to playsolid football,” Cooksaid. “We got hurt lastweek with just a lot of

ScoreboardWater polo holds on for winBy Tyler A. TakedaTHE MADERATRIBUNE

The Madera Coyotes tied the matchwith less than a minute to play andstole the ball away from Hoover-Fres-no with three seconds left to secure a14-13 boys water polo victory at theMcAlister Swim Complex.Hoover took a 9-6 halftime lead be-

fore the Coyotes were able to cut thelead to one in the third quarter and thentied the game lateWednesday. With 59seconds left in the game, Simon Na-gapetian scored his only goal of thegame to give the Coyotes the lead witha shot outside the five-meter line.The Coyotes recorded two steals in

the final minute to secure the victory.Hoover scored five of their goals on

seven Madera ejections (which result-ed in a 6-on-5 power play), includingfour five-meter penalty shots. Mean-while, the Coyotes drew 12 ejections,but scored on just four.George Martin led the Coyotes with

six goals and Ricky Niino added threemore.

Girls post shutoutLedby the defense ofAshleeGibbs and

goalie Daniell Mask, theMadera Coyotegirls water polo team posted a 14-0shutout victory over Hoover-Fresno.“Ashlee put on an amazing display

of defense, along with her shutdownpartner, Daniell,” head coach ErikBaymiller said. “This allowed our fast

counter-attack to control the game andscore at will.”Jessica Diaz led the team with four

goalsWednesday and is picking up rightwhere Coyote goal scoring record setterHannah Ryan left off last season. Ryanis out of commission this season aftertearing her ACL during swim season.“Jessica has showed, for the second

game in a row, that she is a natural andexciting goal scorer,” Baymiller said.Gibbs andKylieGill added three goals

each and Emily Goertzen scored two.Baymiller belives the shutout over

Hoover is the first shutout in the pro-gram’s history.

kills and Golden Valleyserved up an ace for a22-17 lead. The Cougarsclosed out the second setoutscoring Madera 3-2for the 25-19 victory.“We couldn’t pass the

first two games,” Roys-ton said. “Serve and passfrom sixth grade throughcollege, if you can’t dothat, you can’t win.”The Coyotes took

charge in the second set,jumping out to a 9-5 leadthanks to four service er-rors by the Cougars.Then DeLeon went be-

hind the service line anddidn’t stop until the Coy-otes scored eight straightpoints for a 17-5 lead. Inthe run, DeLeon servedup an ace and put downher only kill. Drewadded two kills.The lead proved to be

enough for the Coyotes.Golden Valley tried tochip away at the lead, but

aces from Logan Grewaland Shelby Herspringopened the lead to 22-11.Golden Valley scored

four straight points be-fore Hefner stopped therun with a kill, her firstof the set. She added an-other kill to get to setpoint and Golden Valleyhit out of bounds for a25-16 Coyote victory.“I think it was a little

bit of both — minimiz-ing mistakes and GoldenValley getting tired,”Royston said. “We cameout a little flat. We mini-mized our mistakes. Wesettled down and theyplayed pretty well.”In the fourth set, Hefn-

er recorded four kills andMalady added another asGrewal served the Coy-otes to a 7-0 lead.Golden Valley cut the

lead down to two behindthree Castillo kills andtwo aces.Hefner served three

points in a row with anace and a kill. Maladyput down a kill andDrew served an ace foran 18-11 lead. Hefnerand Malady combinedon a dual block andMadera led 21-12.Malady and Drew put

took a 7-4 lead with helpfrom two Drew kills andanother from Hefner.Af-ter a Grewal solo block,Malady added anotherkill for an 11-5 Coyotelead.Two Cougars’ hits out

of bounds gaveMadera a13-7 lead. Malady putdown a kill to get tomatch point and theCougars hit the ball intothe net for a 15-10 Coy-ote victory.“Coach makes us run a

lot at practice,” Hefnersaid. “She really believesin conditioning us so wecan last these fivegames.”“About darn time our

conditioning helped,”Royston said. “I thinkthey mentally turnedoff. They thought theyhad it in three. They gotflat and gave our kidsconfidence. We feelgood about getting awin and going into an-other tournament thisweekend.”The Coyotes will play

today and Saturday inMerced at the CentralCal Classic, hosted byGolden Valley.

and keep the kids fo-cused on the things theyhave to get better on.We did that this week.And preparing for agoodMendota team, it’sbeen a busy week.”Despite the school

record points total andmargin of victory, Noltesays his team is confi-dent heading intotonight’s game.“The kids are feeling

confident, but aren’toverconfident,” Noltesaid. “They are stillbusiness as usual. Theteam dynamic has a se-rious attitude. Theyhave fun, but they stayserious and focus on thetask on hand. It’s a veryfocused group. It’s atribute to the seniorsand the work ethic forthe past four years.”Nolte believes his

team is ready for Men-dota and thinks it willbe a tough, physicalgame.“Mendota plays

tough, hard-nosed foot-ball,” he said. “They arealways a challenge toplay. Hopefully, we areable to match the waythey play physical foot-ball and get the jobdone. I think it’s goingto be a good footballgame.”TheAztecs come into

the game with some ex-perience. Junior JuanMendoza was the sec-ond-leading ball carrierto Segura last year and

had three carries for 35yards against Sierra.Senior Marco Ro-

driguez led the Aztecsagainst Sierra with 136yards and two touch-downs on 17 carries.Quarterback Jr. Carde-nas was 10-of-16 for147 yards.“Their quarterback is

a dangerous player,”Nolte said. “We have tokeep our eyes on a lot ofguys They spread theball around and have alot of weapons to movethe ball down the field.They like to run thefootball. Their quarter-back is elusive andkeeps his eyes down thefield and hit open guys.They come open whenhe scrambles.”One of the key

match-ups tonight willbe on the line of scrim-mage where the Libertydefensive line of Cam-bra, O’Brion, Brandtand Stephens dominat-ed Firebaugh.“Mendota’s line has a

little bit bigger kids upfront and a little moreseasoned,” Nolte said.“They have more expe-rience. I think it’s an in-teresting match-up withour defensive lineagainst their offensiveline.”Against Firebaugh,

the Hawks rushed for340 yards with sevendifferent backs. Threerushed for more than 70yards.“I think we always

want to establish therun,” Nolte said. “For-tunately for us, we’re

able to toss the ballaround when we needto. It’s an attribute toZach (Richey) and theguys that catch the ball.They work hard on thatpart of the game.”One player that was

missing last week wasMalone, who is thestarting inside line-backer and fullback. Hehad an illness last weekand was limited to a fewplays in the scrimmagethe week before.“Kendall will play

this week,” Nolte said.“He helps add depth onboth sides of the foot-ball.With him out, guyshad to step in positionswhere they didn’t get asmuch playing time. Itmakes it a little morecomfortable. Kendall’sa warrior and wouldwant to be on the field.He’s definitely earnedthe right to be on thefield with his work ethicand play. He’s been bat-tling this illness for afew weeks and he’s get-ting better. He’s excitedto see the field.”However, Nolte real-

izes that even if a playerhas a bump or bruise,they won’t let it keepthem from playingagainst Mendota.“It’s a big game for

the kids,” Nolte said.“They know that itmeans a lot to Mendotaafter what happened lastyear. The kids are readyfor that kind of effort.Hopefully our guys canplay well.”Kick off is set for 7

fundamental and men-tal mistakes — notreading our keys, notexecuting assignmentsor playing with the cor-rect leverage. We kindof just have to fix our-selves.”In order to keep the

ball away from the Li-ons, the Stallions willhave to continue to sus-tain drives like they didagainst the Redskins asthe game wore on.Afterback-to-back three-and-outs for the MaderaSouth offense in thefirst quarter, the Stal-lions had five drivesthat had 13, 10, 12, 7,and 9 plays.The offense was run

by quarterback JonahJohnson, who complet-

ed 13 passes, while line-men Daniel Rodriguez,Rudy Hernandez, OmarEnriquez, Cruz Garciaand Rafael Rodriguezpaved the way for run-ning backs MauriceMcClain, Angel Avila,Cristian Guillen andMarquez.“We were just a cou-

ple of mistakes awayhere and there fromscoring,” Cook said.“Like our coach (offen-

sive coordinator Antho-ny Gallegos) said, weleft a lot of touchdownson the field. I thoughtour offensive line forthe most part played re-ally well and our quar-terback had a pretty sol-id showing in his firststart as a sophomore.We just have to build onthis last game and I feelwe have the potential tobe good up front.”

By Tom PurcellThey’re going to have to

get used to it.I speak of the school stu-

dents who are complainingabout the taste of their gov-ernment-funded school grub.

As part of the 2010 Na-tional School Lunch Pro-gram, you see, schooldistricts that want federalfunding to feed their kidsmust follow stringent nutri-tional guidelines designed tocurb childhood obesity.

Schools must providefruits and vegetables daily,reduce sodium, trans fats andsaturated fats, offer morewhole grains and switch tofat-free or low-fat milk.They must also abide bystrict calorie minimums ac-cording to the age groupsand grades of school diners.

The nutrition require-ments extend well beyondschool-meal programs. TheU.S. Department of Agricul-ture’s Smart Snacks in

best interests at heart. Theythink your school districts,you and your parents are toodumb to figure out how toeat right.

Regrettably, they have apoint. According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control andPrevention, obesity has dou-bled in children and quadru-pled in teens over the past 30years.

And, as our governmentcontinues its massive expan-sion into every area of ourpersonal lives — telling uswhat insurance coverage wemust and must not buy, forinstance — school meals areexpanding, too.

This year, the feds willfund 5.6 billion lunches andsnacks for more than 32 mil-lion children at a cost ofsome $12 billion — twicewhat the government spent alittle more than a decade ago.

That gives the well-inten-tioned bureaucrats at theUSDA power. And they areusing their power to deter-mine what schoolkids mustand must not eat.

I admit that my schoollunches were not very goodwhen I was a kid in the1970s. That is because myparents, not the government,were responsible for packingmy lunch.

I don’t know how theydid it, but every single day Igot a bologna sandwichglued together with warmmayonnaise and two end

pieces of bread.As unappetizing as my

lunches often were, I knownow that this was the pricemy generation paid for free-dom.

See, since most kids re-lied on parents, rather thanthe government, for food andpretty much everything else,the government lacked themeans to boss us around.

Sometimes, my mothercame through with peanutbutter and jelly on freshbread, with butterscotchpudding and giant oatmealraisin cookies for dessert —items that schools are forbid-den from selling now.

In any event, to para-phrase an old saying, a gov-ernment big enough to feedmillions of its nation’sschoolkids is big enough todetermine what the ingredi-ents, fat content and portionsizes must be.

So, kids, if your school isaccepting federal funds tofeed you, you’re going tohave to get used to the taste.

Besides, if you think thegovernment grub tastes bad,wait until you get a taste ofthe high taxes your genera-tion will pay to cover the tril-lions in debt your countryracked up before you gradu-ated from high school.

Bon appetit!• • •

Tom Purcell is a colum-nist for the Pittsburgh Trib-une-Review.

School program requires thatschool vending machines,and any other school-runfood services, ditch sodapop, candy bars, donuts andpotato chips in favor ofhealthier fare, such as gra-nola bars.

While some school dis-tricts are finding ways tomake half-decent foodwithin the strict limitationsthey face, many others arefalling short. Schoolkidsacross the country are takingto YouTube and social mediato complain about the tasteand how the small portionscause their stomachs togrowl all day.

But they’re just going tohave to get used to it.

Singing the school lunch blues

Clinton suddenly turns to the rightCommentary

Commentary

By Rick JensenPresident Barack Obama

has failed to help defeat is-lamists in Syria, leading tothe growth of The IslamicState (the radical Islamistmurderers formerly knownas ISIS) and fails to define aforeign policy for the U.S.

This is according toHillary Clinton, who spoketo well-known foreign af-fairs reporter Jeffrey Gold-berg in The Atlantic.

The “new” Hillary flexesher biceps over Iran, sayingshe was always against Iranhaving nuclear enrichment(except for when she was-n’t) and staunchly defendsIsrael as no liberal Democ-rat ever defends Israel, say-ing, “Israel has a right todefend itself. The stepsHamas has taken to embedrockets and command-and-control facilities and tunnelentrances in civilian areas,this makes a response byIsrael difficult.”

“Just as we try to do inthe United States and be ascareful as possible in goingafter targets to avoid civil-ians, (mistakes are made)”,she told Goldberg, whoasked if she believed thatIsrael had done enough toprevent the deaths of chil-dren and other innocentpeople.

“We’ve made them. Idon’t know a nation, nomatter what its values are— and I think that demo-cratic nations have demon-strably better values in aconflict position — thathasn’t made errors, but ulti-mately the responsibilityrests with Hamas.”

So when did Hillaryleave the Democratic Partyand become a conservativeRepublican?

More importantly, whois she talking to?

Like her husband Bill

and her former bossBarack, Hillary considersthe politics and counts thevotes before speaking in acontrolled public setting.

That’s why this Ameri-can-centric conservativeforeign policy stance is sointeresting.

The liberal reaction isexpected.

The influential leftwingorganization MoveOn im-mediately issued a fatwaagainst any Democrat criti-cizing Obama and taking astrong policy stance againstIran or entertaining “poli-cies advocated by right-wing war hawks.”

Well, she did just that,especially regarding Israel.

Her positioning state-ments are interesting be-cause they presume shewill not have a strong farleft-wing primary opponentmore appealing to the lib-eral base.

Will a muscular ap-proach to foreign affairsmaintain her popularitywith women when a liberalcontender promising tokeep their sons and daugh-ters home away from bat-tles comes forward? Thatis, after all, the liberal basethat voted so enthusiasti-cally for the man she is try-ing so hard to remove fromher political universe.

Hillary wants to be per-ceived as competent; theanti-Obama.

President Obama hassimplified his approach toforeign policy as “Don’tsay stupid (stuff).” Hedoesn’t really use the word,“stuff.” We will, though.

How can Democraticprimary voters who wantthe troops home at any

price and close Guan-tanamo pull the lever for awoman who says, “Thefailure to help build up acredible fighting force ofthe people who were theoriginators of the protestsagainst Assad — therewere Islamists, there weresecularists, there waseverything in the middle-the failure to do that left abig vacuum, which the ji-hadists have now filled.”?

That’s what conserva-tives and Tea Party Ameri-cans predicted!

How Sarah Palin of her!Hillary talks a good

game but remember shewas the one who did stupid

stuff including taking theembarrassingly ill-fated“Reset” button to MinisterSergei Lavrov only to dis-cover it read “Overcharge”in Russian. She’s also thegiddy Secretary of Statewho foolishly tried to en-gage her Iranian counter-part, Manouchehr Mottaki,in a parking lot with no pre-conditions.

Can “Hillary the Hawk”win primary votes?

Plant getsTesla closerto electric carfor massesBy Justin Pritchardand Scott SonnerTHEASSOCIATED PRESS

RENO, Nev. — Tobring electric cars to themasses, Tesla Motors willtransform an expanse ofdesert where pioneerspassed on their way to theCalifornia Gold Rush andwild mustangs still roamthe hillside.This time, the rush will

be in Nevada, which Tes-la chose over four otherstates as the site for a $5billion factory that thecarmaker projects willcrank out enough high-tech car batteries to pow-er 500,000 vehicles annu-ally by decade’s end.Nevada’s elected lead-

ers still must deliver onthe economic incentivesthey’ve promised, but ifthey do as expected, Tes-la will open its massivefactory at an industrialpark outside Reno, ac-cording to a person famil-iar with Tesla’s plans. Theperson spoke on condi-tion of anonymity be-cause no official an-nouncement had beenmade. An announcementwas scheduled for Thurs-day afternoon at Nevada’sCapitol.U.S. Senate Majority

Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, acknowledgedThursday at his Clean En-ergy Summit in Las Vegasthat Tesla was coming toNevada, and said he hadspoken with Nevada Gov.Brian Sandoval about it.A state synonymous

with gambling hit the jobsjackpot — Tesla has saidthe factory will employabout 6,500 people.That’s a welcome jolt for

a tourism-based economyparticularly hard hit dur-ing the Great Recession.Tesla’s choice of Ne-

vada over California,Texas, Arizona and NewMexico takes it a big stepcloser to mass producingan electric car that costsaround $35,000 and cango 200 miles on a singlecharge. That range is crit-ical because it lets peopletake most daily trips with-out recharging, a majorbarrier to the widespreadadoption of electric vehi-cles.The “gigafactory,” as

Tesla calls the project,would bring the cost ofbatteries down by produc-ing them on a huge scale.Its approximately 10 mil-lion square feet, equiva-lent to about 174 footballfields, would be runningby 2017. That is whenTesla hopes to introduceits Model 3,At present, demand for

electric vehicles is small.Through August, au-

tomakers have sold justover 40,000 fully electriccars this year, up 35 per-cent from a year ago, ac-cording to the auto web-site Edmunds.com. Fac-toring in plug-in hybrids,electric vehicles still ac-count for just 3.6 percentof all new car sales, aslight drop from last year.Still, government fueleconomy standards thatwill require new cars andtrucks to average 54.5miles per gallon are ex-pected to drive sales.Gov. Sandoval’s office

wouldn’t commentWednesday on the gi-gafactory news, sayingonly that he would makea “major economic devel-opment announcement”Thursday. A spokesman

for Tesla Motors Inc.,based in Palo Alto, Cali-fornia, said company rep-resentatives would be atthe Capitol in Carson Cityfor the announcement butoffered no other details.Sandoval has declined

to discuss incentives hehas offered Tesla. Basedon CEO Elon Musk’spublic statements, the in-centives likely total atleast $500 million. Thegovernor would have tocall a special session ofthe Legislature to approvetax breaks, grants or oth-er incentives of that mag-nitude.This spring, Musk an-

nounced that the compa-ny would take the unusu-al step of spending mil-lions to prepare sites intwo states — or perhapseven three — beforechoosing a winner. Theperson familiar with Tes-la’s plans told The Asso-ciated Press a second sitestill will be prepared, incase Nevada is unable todeliver the incentives ithas promised, or possiblyto build a second factory.Tesla has done excava-

tion and other site-prepa-ration work at the TahoeReno Industrial Center,where it plans to build thefactory, but had not pub-licly committed to build-ing in Nevada until it test-ed what economic incen-tives other states offered.The center is about 15miles east of Sparks, aReno suburb founded as arailroad town more than acentury ago.Aside from low tax

rates and business-friend-ly workplace laws, Ne-vada offered plenty of sunand wind to generate“green” power. The in-dustrial park is only about

200 miles along Interstate80 from Tesla’s lone autoassembly plant in the SanFrancisco Bay Area. It’salso near a deposit oflithium, an essential ele-ment to produce the bat-tery cells.Reid said that ready

supply was an importantpart of Nevada’s bid, andpointed to a $28.4 millionDepartment of Energy

grant in 2010 for a lithi-um carbonate and lithiumhydroxide plant in SilverCreek, Nevada.Competition for the

factory has been intenseamong the states, whichbid up their incentivepackages in private nego-tiations with Tesla.In California, where

Tesla has its headquartersand manufacturing plant,

the decision to build inthe state next door stung.“Tesla was using their

business savviness to getstates to compete againstone another,” said stateSen. Ted Gaines, R-Ro-seville, a principal propo-nent of the project. “It’sjust that I felt Californiahad the inside track givenour history of working inpartnership with Tesla.”

First Old Timers Day Parade held 83 years agoThis year’s Old Timers

Day, with its parade andgathering in CourthousePark, is an importantpiece of Madera’s past. Itpreserves a tradition thatwas launched during thedark days of the Depres-sion and shows no signof going away.It was early in the year

1931, when someoneconceived of an idea toinitiate something called“Old Timers Day” inMadera County. The ideapercolated for a whileand then took hold. Acommittee was formed,and by summer, prepara-tions for an extravaganzawere well under way.What resulted was not

only an outpouring ofcommunity spirit duringthose days of economicdislocation, but an annu-al tradition as well, onethat is now 83 years old.In an incredible display

of community cohesive-ness, Maderans from allwalks of life came to-gether in that first OldTimers Day celebrationto pay homage to theirpast. Any person whohad been a resident ofMadera County on or be-fore Dec. 31, 1890, wasconsidered an “OldTimer” and became thefocus of the countywidecelebration on Saturday,Oct. 31, 1931.“As that day ap-

proached, the reports ofthe various committeesshowed that the deep in-terest taken would resultin a day which would be

outstanding,” accordingto theMadera Daily Trib-une and Mercury.Cattlemen H.A. Rus-

sell, John O’Neal, BrookMordecai, and O.B. Pricecommitted themselves toa host of activities. Inturn, the “Old TimersDay of Madera CountyCommittee” invited theranchers to send theirhorses into Madera theday before the celebra-tion where stable roomsand feed would be pro-vided free of charge.A parade was planned

to depict the differentstages in the economicdevelopment of the coun-ty, including the mining,cattle, sheep, grain, lum-ber, and fruit eras. TheMadera Rotary Club as-

sumed responsibility forthe parade transportation.A six-horse passengerstage that had once be-longed to the YosemiteStage and TurnpikeCompany was lined up,as well as two four-horsestages, a 10-mule teampulling lumber, and ateam of long-horned ox-en pulling a loggingtruck.In addition, scores of

carts, buckboards, bug-gies, surreys, and “highwheel” bicycles were en-listed.Ten days before the

celebration, almost everybusiness onYosemiteAv-enue dressed its displaywindows with memora-bilia from the past.Among the more con-

spicuous exhibitionswere those from the Cun-ningham Furniture Com-pany, which set outpieces of the original fur-niture used in the parlorof the old Yosemite Ho-tel in 1877. Interspersedamong these items werevarious relics of the Don-ner Party disaster.Caesar Venturi’s Sport

Shop displayed a collec-tion of early day bicyclesand tandems as well astwo 56-inch “highwheels” with smallwheels behind. Tighe’sdress shop providedwomen’s dresses “thatdragged the ground” and“Willie Boy” coats thatwere cut away and hungbelow the knees.All of the store dis-

plays brought renewedlife to the city, particular-ly in the evenings whencrowds gathered aboutthe windows in curiosity,viewing the displays.The big day was

launched at 10 a.m. Sat-urday.All business trans-actions came to ascreeching halt. Storesand shops closed theirdoors, and the festivitiesbegan.At 10:30, the two-mile parade stepped off,“consisting almost entire-ly of relics, conveyances,and costumes of the dayslong since gone,” accord-ing to the Tribune andMercury.“First came theAmeri-

can flag followed by thegrand marshal, W.M.

Season’s new phones areall about selfie imageBy Frank Jordansand Anick JesdanunTHEASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN — Visit anytourist destination, andyou’re bound to see indi-viduals and groups tak-ing photos of themselvesfor sharing on social me-dia. It’s a declaration tothe world that they werethere.Pop stars such as Ri-

hanna and Justin Bieberhave helped popularizethe trend, too, by postingstylized selfies to theirleagues of followers.Even politicians are tak-ing selfies with ordinaryfolks these days as a wayof showing how closethey are to voters.So it was only a matter

of time before tech com-panies responded withphones and apps specifi-cally designed to helppeople take more andbetter selfies.Several phones un-

veiled at the IFA techshow in Berlin this weeksport higher-resolutionfront cameras, so selfieswill come out sharper.Some even have appsthat let you use the rearcameras, too. That

means even clearer pho-tos — and the use of theflash, if you need it.Promoting new phones

as the perfect selfie cam-era is a natural move formanufacturers scram-bling to stand out.“The ‘selfie phone’

race resembles themegapixel race for cam-eras on the back of thephone,” said GerritSchneemann, an analystat research firm IHS.“Handset makers try tosatisfy a specific usecase by including morepowerful features in thefront camera.”

Hughes. Then came pio-neer ladies on mounts, aSpanish orchestra float,two of the old YosemiteState and Turnpike Com-pany’s stages driven bySupervisor S.G. Owensand Henry Hedges.”Stretched out behind

these leaders were theMadera Union HighSchool Band, a delegationof native Indians, minerswith pack horses, cow-boys, sheepmen, lumber-men, and farmers in theirbuggies.Meanwhile, the down-

town area abounded with“old timers.” The NativeDaughters of the GoldenWest registered more than1,000 people who hadlived in what is nowMadera County in 1890 orearlier.At the conclusion of the

parade, hundreds de-scended upon CourthousePark for a lunch, whichhad been organized by theWomen’s ImprovementClub. Five beef cattle, cutand wrapped by CorneliusNoble, were deep barbe-cued by Joseph Barcroftand John O’Neal and sup-plemented the giganticpotluck, which had beenprepared by the partici-pants.Nello Barsotti supplied

loaves of tasty bread. Al-though a few tables andchairs were available,most simply spread outpicnic blankets and ateseated on the ground. Interms of social interaction,the barbecue was the

highlight of the day.A lengthy “literary pro-

gram followed the lunch.”In the afternoon, a contin-gent of Madera Countycowboys entertained thecrowd with trick ridingand other displays ofhorsemanship. Mean-while, games for theyoung were organized bythe American Legion.At 6 p.m., a Halloween

parade sponsored by theBusiness and ProfessionalWomen’s Club was held.Grammar school childrenturned out in costume,while high school studentsdonned colorful sets ofpajamas for the occasion.Boy Scouts with flaresguided the processionthrough Madera streets.At 7 a special football

game between Stocktonand Madera high schoolswas held, and two dances

followed. One at the Lin-coln School auditoriumfeatured “dances of theolder variety.”At the sametime in the MemorialHall, a dance featuring“modern music” was held.In addition, in the base-

ment of the hall, theAmerican Legionarranged a “Days of ‘49”camp, “Where many ofthe early-day games, con-ducted in a legal manner,provided excitement tothose who liked to take achance.”According to the

Madera Tribune, “TheMadera City Council andChief of Police Wells co-operated fully....”Thus, by drawing upon

the talent and organiza-tional skills from through-out the county, OldTimer’s Day was first en-joyed in Madera 83 yearsago, and an annual cele-bration was firmly estab-lished. This year the tradi-tion is set to carry on infine fashion on Sept. 27.The spirit of the past isalive.

199 euros ($258) beforetaxes, the phone is like-ly to be particularly at-tractive to younger buy-ers and aspiring middleclasses in developingcountries.It also fits neatly with

Microsoft’s stated strat-egy of prioritizing mo-bile phones and Inter-net-based services. Thephones come with size-able online storagespace on Microsoft’sOneDrive, where userscan back up their pho-tos or share them withfriends.Microsoft’s announce-

ment follows Samsung’snewGalaxyNote phonesunveiled Wednesday.The Note 4 and the NoteEdge come with a spe-cial wide-angle option,which allows users to fitmore people into theirselfies by stitchingmulti-ple images together.The feature could help

Coincidentally ornot, Samsungwas a spon-sor of the AcademyAwards, and DeGenereswas using a Samsungphone.Not to be outdone, PC-

maker Lenovo launchedits Vibe Z2 and Vibe X2phones, with 8 megapix-

el and 5 megapixel frontcameras, respectively.The phones will alsohave a feature that trig-gers the camera to snapthe shot by smiling,blinking or making a“V” gesture.Taiwanese phoneman-

ufacturer HTC also un-veiled an 8 megapixelfront-facing camera forits new Desire 820 de-vice, while China’sHuawei can claim tohave pioneered the self-ie-phone idea earlier thisyear when it released theAscend Mate2 4G. TheMate 2 has a 5 megapix-el front camera and awide-angle option simi-lar to Samsung’s.But some are wonder-

ingwhether users will re-ally embrace the idea ofcapturing themselves inhigh resolution.“I’m not sure people

want selfies to be verysophisticated to startwith,” said Steve Jones,a professor of communi-cations at the Universityof Illinois at Chicago.“There’s something to besaid about having selfiesbe kind of the modern-day version of the Po-laroid — instant, but ithas its own look and hadits own style.”For users who don’t

want to send aroundhigh-resolution imagesof themselves without abit of prior enhancement,Microsoft’s selfie app of-fers tools that let themmake tired eyes bigger,whiten their teeth andslim down like air-brushed models on mag-azine covers.

DEAR ABBY: I havebeen dating “Chris” for al-most five years. He’s myhigh school sweetheart.We still live with our par-ents, but we feel we’reready to move out andstart our lives together. The issue is I have a cat

(“Silky”) and a dognamed “Chips”; Chriscan’t stand them. He hassaid he doesn’t want Silkyto live in our home and hewould make her an out-door cat. He also doesn’twant Chips to come withus because Chips can bewhiny and vocal. I feel it’s my responsi-

bility to take my pets withme when I move out. Idon’t want to abandonthem and leave them withmy parents, and I ab-solutely refuse to put themup for adoption. —STUCK IN THE MID-DLE IN CALIFORNIADEAR STUCK: Wake

up! You are an animallover; your boyfriendclearly has an antipathytoward them. Your cat isafraid of Chris becauseshe knows he doesn’t likeher or he did somethingthat scared her. If hemakes Silky become anoutdoor cat (or she getsloose “by accident”), shemay be at serious risk.And your dog will be mis-erable on the receivingend of constant rejection.It is very important that

you learn to live inde-pendently. Because Chrisis your high school sweet-heart and you haven’t dat-ed many others, it’s im-portant that you take sometime and date other people

before deciding to movein with anyone. You andChris may care about eachother, but your compati-bility is in question be-cause, face it, you twohave differences.DEAR ABBY: I’m not

sure if this has been men-tioned in your column be-fore, but I would like tomake your readers awareof something while theytravel. When staying at ahotel, it is important nev-er to reveal personal or fi-nancial information overthe in-room phone, even ifthe caller claims to be anemployee of the hotel.Sometimes scammers

will call the front desk ofa hotel and provide ageneric name or roomnumber. Unsuspectingdesk agents may transferthe call to that room, andthe scammer will thenpose as a desk agent. Heor she will say somethingplausible to get the guestto provide credit informa-tion over the phone, and ina flash, the guest is a vic-tim of theft. — JOHN INOGDEN, UTAHDEAR JOHN: Whoa!

Travelers can never be toocareful. Thank you for thewake-up call.

TV LISTINGS

In 1859, during the turbulentyears prior to America’sCivil War, Abraham Lincoln

had the opportunity to speak tothe Agricultural Society in Mil-waukee, Wisconsin. As hespoke, he shared with them thestory of an ancient monarch’ssearch for a sentence that was“true and appropriate in alltimes and situations.” His wisemen, faced with this heady chal-lenge, gave him the sentence,“And this, too, shall pass away.”This is certainly true of our

present world — it is constant-ly in the process of deteriora-tion. And it’s not happening just

to the world; we also face the reality in our own livesthat our days are numbered. James wrote, “For whatis your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a littletime and then vanishes away” (James 4:14).Although our current life is temporary and will pass

away, the God we worship and serve is eternal. He hasshared that eternity with us through the gift of His Son,Jesus Christ. He promises us a life that will never passaway: “For God so loved the world that He gave Hisonly begotten Son, that whoever believes in Himshould not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).When Christ returns, He will take us home to be

with Him forever!Awake, my soul and sing

Of Him who died for thee,And hail Him as thy matchless King

Through all eternity. — Bridges/Thring

ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE MATTER OF CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES’ “CALIFORNIAFIRST” PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN ENERGY (“PACE”) PROGRAM ESTABLISHED IN CERTAIN COUNTIES AND CITIES, INCLUDING THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS AND THE AUTHORIZATION OF THE MATTERS THEREIN, AND ALL BONDS, CONTRACTS, CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENTS, AND OTHER MAT-TERS AND PROCEEDINGS RELATED THERETO.

DETAILED SUMMARY OF MATTER TO BE VALIDATED:California Statewide Communities Development Authority (“California Communities”) has established the CaliforniaFIRST Property Assessed Clean Energy (“PACE”) Pro-gram (the “Program”). California Communities seeks to implement the Program in 40 counties throughout California, as well as its member cities within Los Angeles County, to encourage and facilitate the installation of distributed generation renewable energy sources and energy efficiency and water efficiency improvements by residential and non-residential property owners, which will save participating property owners money while conserving resources and reducing carbon emissions, all in furtherance of the Legislature’s goals as set forth in California Streets & Highways Code Section 5898.10 et seq.

CSCDA now seeks to validate all proceedings, actions and contracts connected with the Program, and to obtain an order from the Superior Court that the proceedings, actions and contracts related to the Program were and are valid, legal and binding and were and are in conformity with the applicable provisions of all laws and enactments at any time in force or controlling upon such proceedings, whether imposed by law, constitu-tion, statute, charter or ordinance, and whether federal, state or municipal, including but not limited to, the provisions of Article XIII D of the California Constitution, the due proc-ess and contract clauses of the Constitution of the United States, and their equivalent clauses in the California Constitution.

The Plaintiff has filed a civil complaint against you. If you wish to contest the legality or validity of the matter that is the subject of this lawsuit, you must appear and file with the Court a written pleading in response to the complaint not later than October 6, 2014. Your pleading must be in the form required by the California Rules of Court. Your origi-nal pleading must be filed in this Court with proper filing fees and proof that a copy thereof was served on Plaintiff’s attorneys.

Unless you so respond, your default will be entered upon Plaintiff’s application, and this Court may enter a judgment against you for the relief demanded in the complaint. Per-sons who contest the legality or validity of the matters which are the subject of this law-suit will not be subject to punitive action, such as wage garnishment or seizure of their real or personal property.

YOU MAY SEEK THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY IN ANY MATTER CONNECTED WITH THE COMPLAINT OR THIS SUMMONS. IF SO, YOU SHOULD DO SO PROMPTLY SO THAT YOUR WRITTEN RESPONSE, IF ANY, MAY BE FILED ON TIME.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 5/2/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NA-TURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On 9/16/2014 at 1:30 PM, Old Republic Default Management Services, a Division of Old Republic National Title Insurance Company as duly appointed Trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust, Recorded 5/24/2005 as Instrument No. 2005023382 in book --, page -- of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Madera County, California, executed by: ALFONSO GIL, AN UNMARRIED MAN, as Trustor, DOWNEY SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, F.A., A FEDERALLY CHARTERED SAVINGS ASSOCIATION as Ben-eficiary. WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier's check drawn by 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 Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). At the main entrance to the County Government Center, 209 West Yosemite, Madera, CA all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above ref-erenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1405 WESSMITH WAY, MADERA, CA 93638 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 in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by 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 ex-penses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $118,507.05 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are consid-ering 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, pri-ority, 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, pur-suant 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 (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 13-51201. Infor-mation 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.

GODWIN’S RICHMOND PICKS

SPEED FREAKSA couple questions we had to ask — ourselves

FEUD OF THE WEEK

WHAT’S ON TAP?

AP/DAVID TULIS

Does Mild Matt look worried about being winless? Actually, he’s deep into his points-gathering zone.

Who will be next to get your reverse jinx?

Yeah, yeah, all it took was a lot of “Poor ol’ Kasey Kahne” talk in this corner last week, and wouldn’t you know it, he goes out and steals a win at Atlanta. Don’t forget, though, in the midst of last week’s chatter, it was mentioned that his whole season could turn around in a fl ash. And it did, thanks to that Hendrick horse-power on the fi nal overtime restart.

Do we now recalibrate our odds board for the Chase?

Let’s wait until after this weekend. If Kahne makes it two straight by winning Richmond — certainly a possibility — in a two-weekend span he goes from major disappointment to one of everybody’s three or four favorites to run wild in the fi nal 10 weeks. But right now, you have to put the best odds on the two Penske drivers (Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski) and at least two of the other Hendrick guys (defi nitely Jimmie Johnson, of course, and either Junior or Jeff).

Leaving out your dream champ?

Kinda. Yes, I’m still rooting — in a slightly evil way — for Matt Kenseth to go winless yet win the

championship. Don’t forget, with all this emphasis put on winning this

year, you can still win the Cup without winning a trophy. Weird, huh?

MARTIN TRUEX JR.

KYLEBUSCH

Martin Truex Jr. vs. Kyle Busch: Busch wrecked Truex at Atlanta prompting Truex to say, “It was totally uncalled for and hard to fi gure out why he did what he did.”Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Truex has one more shot to make the Chase. After that, look out Mr. Busch.”

Wasn’t Kyle Larson supposed to have a win by now?

Has Kasey Kahne gone from disap-pointment to Chase threat?GODSPEAK: If he builds momentum, he may look like Laird Hamilton atop a monster wave in the Chase.KEN’S CALL: It’s all about momentum sometimes, so yes. Don’t be surprised if he wins again this week.

If there’s a 14th dif-ferent 2014 winner this week, who’s your pick?GODSPEAK: Kyle Lar-son would be my fi rst pick with Clint Bowyer a close second.KEN’S CALL: Since we all assumed Kyle Larson would win somewhere this year, I’ll take him.

With laggard Kasey Kahne securing a position in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Sunday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Hendrick Motorsports’ stock cars now make up 25 percent of the playoff fi eld.

It’s no won-der team own-er Rick Hendrick had a big smile as he watched the No. 5 Chevrolet fl ash across the fi nish line. He now joins Roger Penske (two cars) and Joe Gibbs (three cars) as the only teams with all entries earning postseason berths.

“Just glad to see these guys have some good luck,” Hendrick said after Kahne’s victory. “They have had a tough year.”

The win was so special that Kahne’s driver team-mates — Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson — gathered in Victory Lane to welcome the driver to the Chase party. It looked more like a Hendrick Motorsports company picnic than a Victory Lane celebration.

“I think that shows the kind of chemistry we have with our driv-ers, and they know they got to race each other, and they want to beat each other, but they were pulling for Kasey to get in,” Hendrick said.

After the Cup Series pushes through Richmond, the four Hendrick drivers will go back to battling each other for position, points and wins, but the boss likes his chances in this Chase.

“I think when we’re tied with three cars for the most wins (three) and the momentum with the No. 5 car going in, I think that we have a really good shot,” Hendrick said. “I think that it’s the best balance that we have ever had with all the cars going into the Chase.”

GORDON UP TO 750Jeff Gordon continues to

amaze as he begins the transi-tion into the twilight of his career, which will continue at least three more seasons at Hendrick Motorsports. Sunday night the 43-year-old made his 750th consecutive Cup Series start, dating back to his debut in the last race of the 1992 season, held at Atlanta that year. “That is a big number,” Gordon said. “I hadn’t thought about it a whole lot until I saw a decal with it. I thought, ‘Man that is a lot of races, especially in a row.’ It seems like it was yesterday that it started right here over 20 years ago.”

PEACE, BROTHERRemember that blowup

between Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick at Bristol a week ago? Harvick wrecked Hamlin and Hamlin tossed his HANS device in anger at Harvick’s car. Harvick wasted no time apologizing to Hamlin immediately after the race. “I think it was like eight minutes after the checkered fl ag he reached out to me,” Hamlin told Fox Sports 1. “He just made a little mistake. We all do it at one point or another.”

Case closed.

Kasey Kahne’s season could’ve been labeled a disappointment, considering he was among the championship favorites entering 2014. All that disappointment went away with a Sunday night win at Atlanta. Here’s part of the post-victory press conference:

Kasey, you’re in The Chase. Tell us about your evening.

“Yeah, it was just an unbelievable way to make The Chase. And to win at Atlanta — it’s a tough track, a track that I love coming to. And so, it feels really good to get a victory .

“We had an up-and-down night. We started … I could barely get through the corner; I was loose. I fell back to about 22nd, I think. Then made some adjustments and got rolling. We got up to about fi fth . And then, we kind of dialed ourselves out again. Fell back. Went a lap down. Then came back again at the end. The last 60 laps, I felt really good.”

On that last restart, mentally, it seemed you were very confi dent.

“I felt like that all night. I felt confi dent. I stayed with it all night. We were good and we were bad

and we were back to good. I stayed really under control and positive throughout the race, and the guys just kept working hard, and they kept making adjustments. And at the end we had the speed again.

“I just kept telling myself, ‘Do not spin the tires , just take your time on the throttle. And if you do that, you’re going to have a great opportunity here’ because I knew that everybody was going to spin a little bit.

“Restarts just really worked out for us tonight. We took advantage of those. I was really happy

that we did, because I struggle with restarts a lot.” You said that you have struggled in the past

with restarts. Why is that? And was it just a mat-ter of having the fresh tires?

“Well, we all had fresh tires that one time. So, tonight my restarts were good. I had good grip when I got to Turn 1 and could run hard through the corner.

“A big part of our racing right now is the re-starts. That fi rst lap or two is where you can gain or lose a lot in a run. So tonight we gained and it worked for us.”
