Specifically, it will enable the following actions: Page 2 Selma: A Stirring Drama Page 5 Time to Abolish California’s Income Tax? • Establish a new penalty of up to $10,000 per violation, expanding on $500 per day maximum infraction established in last year’s drought legislation.

This change speeds up an infraction process involving courts that was established in last year’s emergency drought legislation. Creek Week recently caused a big splash— and vital lessons in water conservation—at Carmichael Park. Displays and giveaways from many sponsoring agencies sent an unfiltered message: during California’s worst drought, everyone must do their bit to save and protect water. Earlier, almost 1,800 volunteers from youth and neighborhood groups formed a spring cleanup army. Teams scoured 70 creek locations from the Delta to Folsom and from Galt to Antelope. The 25-year-old community program aims to rejuvenate county waterways by removing garbage and invasive plants. The project was this year aided by the Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps. Thanks to a state grant, the group is able to recycle dumped tires and, on the clean-up drive, corps members netted more than 100 of these water-polluting castoffs. Though garbage results are still being tabulated, the haul gleaned many tons of other stuff alien to healthy creeks. Sacramento Area Creeks Council President Alta Tura observed an increase in the trash count over last year’s tally: “Because of recent rains, more garbage was washed down streams,” she ventured. “But our waterways always need cleaning. The volunteers did a stellar job.” • Enable these entities to enforce Part of their reward was 1,800 hot dogs, dished up by Carmichael Chamber of Commerce volunteers. “The Carmichael party celebrates everyone’s hard work,” said Tura. “It also teaches people about nature, how to save water and be better stewards of our environment.” Learn more about the annual creek cleanup at www.creekweek.net.

California Society of HealthSystem Pharmacists donated the space at 13th and H streets in Sacramento. “The mural symbolizes the body and passion of United Way,” BAMR said. “The arm is powerful, nimble, and diverse, representing United Way’s unique position in the Sacramento region. The hand represents the combined caring devotion from United Way’s donors, volunteers, and community partners. The heart, representing our united passion, is intended to look as though it were made of water to signify renewal, transformation, and life.” The mural was unveiled as United Way gave out its most prestigious award, the Intel Cornerstone Award, to Enterprise Rent-A-Car for its dedication to the nonprofit community and United Way for more than 18 years. “Since becoming a United Way partner, Enterprise Rent-A-Car employees in the Sacramento region have donated more than $2.9 million,” said Stephanie Bray, president and CEO, United Way California Capital Region. “Even more spectacular: Enterprise Rent-A-Car has matched those donations with an additional $930,000 in corporate support.

Stores will offer 50 different comics to choose from, ranging from big names like Marvel and DC to smaller Indie groups with their own unique titles. This event started in 2001 and is now on its 15th year, with stores all over the United States and Canada participating. Comic Books are an American art form that was popularized in the 1930s. The creation of Superman ushered in a Golden Age of comics, which many can see re-emerging in the modern era of comics and movies (Avengers, Batman, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Superman— of course). Comics have participated in expanding art, writing, and publishing, creatively influencing many people of all ages with fantastic stories of the hero’s journey or, more modernly, the anti-hero. In Sacramento, there are many independent comic book shops, comic artists, and publishers. The first Saturday of May is a day to celebrate all things comic, and any who are curious about comics or wish to expand Comic Books are an American art form that was popularized in the 1930s.

Letter carriers walk through the community every day, often coming face to face with the sad reality of too many going without food. So each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect nonperishable food donations from their customers. These donations go directly to local food pantries to provide food to people in Carmichael who need help. Last year, over 1,800 pounds were collected here in Carmichael and over 72 million pounds of food were collected nationally, feeding an estimated 30 million people. The food drive’s timing is crucial. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on Participating in the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is simple. Just leave a nonperishable food donation in a bag by your mail box on Saturday, May 9th, and your letter carrier will do the rest.

Local water agencies with existing authorities to enforce against water waste can continue to use those authorities. Under the proposed legislation, any monetary penalties from this enforcement will be used for local conservation efforts. Separately, to streamline environmental permitting for critical water supply projects, the Governor has directed his Office of Planning and Research and other state agencies to help local water agencies reduce the time required to comply with staterequired environmental reviews. These permit streamlining efforts will focus on projects that can increase local water supplies with limited environmental impacts. The Governor’s Office will also explore legislative changes that can speed up delivery of critical water supply projects. In recent weeks, Governor Brown has convened top agricultural, environmental, urban water agency, and business leaders from across California to discuss the state’s drought and conservation efforts. In April, Governor Brown announced the first ever 25% statewide mandatory water reductions and a series of actions to help save water, increase enforcement to prevent wasteful water use, streamline the state’s drought response, and invest in new technologies that will make California more drought resilient. This order included measures to help replace lawns with droughttolerant landscaping and old appliances with more water and energy efficient models; cut water use at campuses, golf courses, cemeteries, and other large landscapes; prevent potable water irrigation at new developments unless water-efficient drip systems are used; and stop watering of ornamental grass on public street medians. Within days of the Governor’s order, the State Water Resources Control Board released its framework to achieve the mandatory water reductions and the California Energy Commission approved new water appliance standards to save billions of gallons of water per year. The California Department of Water Resources also announced that due to the severe drought it will install an emergency temporary rock barrier across a Sacramento San Joaquin Delta channel to help prevent the saltwater contamination of water that 25 million Californians depend on. These measures build on unprecedented action by the State Water Resources Control Board over the past year to prohibit other wasteful water use and encourage Californians to conserve, including strict limits on outdoor irrigation (two days a week in much of California) and bans on hosing down outdoor surfaces, decorative water fountains that don’t recirculate water, and car washing without an automatic shut-off nozzle. Bars and restaurants are also now required to only serve water upon request and hotels must ask guests staying multiple nights whether linens and towels need to be washed. Governor Brown proclaimed a drought state of emergency in January 2014, and for more than two years the state’s experts have been managing water resources to deal with the effects of the drought, which include severely curtailed water supplies to agricultural producers, farmworker job losses due to fallowed fields, drinking water vulnerability in communities across California, heightened fire danger, and threats to endangered and threatened fish and wildlife.

This reassures colleagues you’re serious about finding a solution, even if it’s not totally yours. ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The Lamb is usually excited about taking on a new challenge. But if that’s a touch of doubt you’re feeling, maybe it’s you telling yourself to go slow on this until you learn more about it. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your balanced approach to life proves to be helpful this week when someone you care for needs your spiritual comfort, while someone else benefits from your tough-love practicality. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Accepting new commitments when you haven’t yet finished the batch on hand could be a bit rash. Better to ease up on the new ones until you get further along with your current lot. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Once again, you’re likely to be asked to keep a secret for someone. But do you really want to do so? Be honest with yourself and with your needs before you make any such commitment. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Reward yourself for what’s sure to be a dynamic week with a getaway to someplace wonderful, hopefully with a wonderful someone. You’ll return refreshed and ready for what’s ahead. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Taking a more direct approach from the more diplomatic one you’ve used before could make a difference in finally resolving a too-long-held disagreement. Try it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Some people might be anxious about your plans. So you need to take time to explain what you expect to do and how you expect do it. And don’t forget to ask for suggestions. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Dealing with an unfamiliar problem can be difficult. The wisest course you can take is to ask for advice from those who have been where you are and have come through it. Good luck. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Tackle a frustrating job problem by considering possibilities CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Being asked for advice is flattering to the Sea Goat, who has a habit of saying the right thing. This time, expect someone to be especially impressed and to act on that sentiment. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With a number of pressures easing, your project could be making a lot more progress than you expected by this time. That’s great news. But don’t let yourself be distracted; stay with it. lose touch with her side of the family. Much of it is played out in courtroom drama with a series of stereotypes swirled in.

And they, in turn, reach out to complete the circle. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc. By Sam Struckhoff EDITOR’S NOTE: DVDs reviewed in this column are available in stores the week of May 4, 2015. PICKS OF THE WEEK A recent study conducted by researchers at the Nara University of Education in Japan found that music affects people’s generosity. Specifically, if you’re listening to music you enjoy, you’re likely to be more generous than if there were no music playing at all. In this scenario, the inverse is also true: If you’re listening to a song you dislike, you’re more likely to be stingy. If you’re like 60 percent of American pet owners, your pet sleeps with you. The next time you travel to Sweden for a vacation, try to catch a Kaninhoppning competition; you’ll be treated to a spectacle of rabbit show jumping. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An interesting challenge David Oyelowo in “Selma” “Selma” (PG-13) - This stirring drama focuses on the pivotal moment in 1965 when a series of protests - beset by stubborn opposition and violence - led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. helped catalyze the movement to change racist voting policies. King (David Oyelowo) is shown not as the shining figure projecting powerful rhetoric, but a man driven by urgency and stung with doubt. While the march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, is the focal point, the action also includes King’s discussions with President Lyndon Johnson (Tom Wilkinson) and the struggles of other activists. Director Ava DuVernay impressively integrates the many personal and public factors driving the action. Refreshingly, “Selma” avoids that glossy look that so many historical movies fall into, making them look like videos you’d see at a memorial or museum. The movie feels important without beating you over the head with it. “Black or White” (R) - Kevin Costner stars in this melodrama that bellies up to big issues of race - fumbles, and then retreats.

The story follows the hilariously named Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson), a mousy, pollyannish college senior who is overcome by enigmatic millionaire CEO Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan). The draw is that these two meet and have lots of sex with all the whips and stuff that Christian collects. He’s a closed-off, abusive dolt, and she’s desperate to get into a romantic engagement with him. It’s not porn, but it really wishes it could be. Without the sexy bits (which aren’t that graphic, considering what’s in the mainstream these days), it’s just a boilerplate romance flick, complete with one-dimensional characters and cheesy, overplayed scenes of standard drama. The movie doesn’t push any boundaries, just patience. by HEALTHY EXCHANGES Start Yours Today! The Perfecnt !

His landscapes are gorgeous, refined and bucolic, while his own personality could be righteous and lecherous. Timothy Spall brings this complex character to life in a biopic with visual sensibilities much like the painter’s - seemingly calm and conventional, but intense in detail and movement.

Yet the Legislature continues to churn out new taxes that, once enacted, rarely go away. Our economy has been transitioning to a greater reliance on services. As a result, some tax reform groups have argued for expanding the sales tax to include services. On its own, a sales tax on services— like Senate Bill 8 by Sen. Bob Hertzberg—is a terrible idea. It would impose a massive, complicated tax increase on both businesses and consumers. In fact, a recent study found that fully taxing all services would cost California taxpayers as much as $123 billion more each year. But what if shifting to a greater reliance on “consumption” taxes, like the sales tax, allowed us to eliminate taxes that destroy jobs, like the income tax? What if we didn’t raise taxes, but instead shifted them, replacing income tax with an expanded sales tax— and abolished the Franchise Tax Board? It might be difficult to imagine a California without an income tax, since most of us weren’t alive during the Great Depression when California first started collecting it. However, seven U.S. states seem to be doing just fine without an income tax. And by several key measures, they’re doing far better than California. According to financial publisher Bankrate, six of the seven states with no income tax—Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming—are all considered better retirement destinations than California (the exception being Alaska, for obvious climate-related reasons). Retirees who have invested their lives in our state shouldn’t be forced to move away from their kids and grandkids for financial reasons. Yet the Manhattan Institute cites retirement-related moves as a key ingredient in the “The Great California Exodus” of more than 3.4 million residents since 1990. Another vital measure is poverty. California’s so-called “progressive” income tax has done little to improve the plight of the poor. In fact, based on data from the Census Bureau, California has the nation’s highest poverty rate when other cost-of-living factors, such as taxes, are considered. The reason is simple. California’s punitive income tax rates drive away the very jobs and investment that help lowincome workers move up the economic ladder. According to the Tax Foundation, some small employers in our state face combined top marginal tax rates exceeding 50%. The dramatic ups and downs of California’s income tax create conditions ripe for new and higher taxes. Good tax policy is rarely formed in moments of crisis. Steep declines in income tax revenue led to Proposition 30, which increased both sales and income tax. Those drops also gave us the lumber tax and a controversial fire prevention fee. Tax increases, even when sold as temporary, rarely go away after the state’s rollercoaster revenues rebound. If California joined the growing number of states considering elimination of their state income tax, it might increase pressure to get rid of the federal income tax. A movement in favor of what is known as the “Fair Tax” seeks to repeal the 16th Amendment and replace federal income tax with a national sales tax. Sure, it’s a long-shot, but who wouldn’t be glad to get rid of the Internal Revenue Service? A common objection to replacing the income tax with a consumption tax is that, unlike income tax, sales taxes are regressive—hitting lower income people the hardest. This objection can be answered in several ways. For instance, some economists have suggested making the sales tax “progressive” by excluding more basic necessities or providing a rebate for seniors and others with lower incomes. If we eliminate the income tax, most workers would immediately experience an overnight increase in take-home pay. True, service-oriented businesses would have to collect and pay sales tax, but they’d also no longer be paying state income tax. What’s needed now is a serious study of the options before us. Which revenue neutral tax changes would improve California’s economic competitiveness? Which changes would raise incomes, grow jobs, and keep more retirees in our state? Which changes would produce the most stable revenue and spur the most growth? Since taxes affect behavi o r, d y n a m i c e c o n o m i c modeling would provide answers to these key questions. But first, California’s leaders need to muster the courage to ask the questions.

As Deputies arrived, they encountered a female in her 30s who had been shot at least once and was lying on the driveway in front of a residence. As Deputies approached the victim, who was being attended to by neighbors and uninvolved passersby, several rounds of gunfire were fired from within the residence at the Deputies and citizens. The victim, who is believed to have been involved in a domestic relationship with the suspect, was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. No one was additionally shot or injured. A perimeter was immediately set up on the residence wherein the gunshots were fired and nearby residences were evacuated and a local elementary school placed on lockdown for precautionary purposes. Throughout the ensuing standoff, which lasted more than five hours, the barricaded suspect held firm inside the residence, ultimately firing multiple rounds at perimeter officers an additional three times throughout the incident. Sacramento Sheriff Special Enforcement Detail members, along with the Sheriff’s Critical Incident Negotiation Team were successful in safely apprehending the suspect upon his eventual surrender just after 3:00 p.m. The suspect, Jeremiah Hankins, 35, has been transported to the Sacramento County Main Jail where he has been booked on five felony charges including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, possession of a firearm by a felon, and domestic violence. The Sacramento Sheriff ’s Department would like to thank surrounding agencies such as Sacramento Police Department, Citrus Heights Police Department, California Highway Patrol, FBI, Sacramento County Probation, and the Sacramento County Office of Emergency Services for their support and assistance.

The goal is to raise $5 million in 24 hours through online donations for 529 participating local nonprofit organizations. Presented by GiveLocalNow and the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, in partnership with the Yolo and Placer community foundations, Big Day of Giving is a time to come together and “give where your heart is.” Last year, more than 12,000 people donated over $3 million to 394 nonprofits serving Sacramento, Placer, and Yolo counties—in 24 hours! This year, we can do even better. I am proud that my employer, Bank of America, has been a supporter of GiveLocalNow and that last year my colleagues donated 10,000 hours of volunteer time to local nonprofit organizations. I can’t wait to donate alongside my colleagues on this amazing day of celebrating our community! Whether you give $25, $50, or even $1,000, you’ll be helping to support the work of organizations making a real difference in the community. Each gift will get a boost from the Big Day of Giving Incentive Pool and help nonprofit organizations win additional dollars in prizes. Giving is fast and easy. Anyone age 18 or older can use the secure website, www.bigdayofgiving.org, to donate by credit card from 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, May 5th. Our local nonprofits feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, give books to children, train the unemployed for new jobs, protect our environment, and more. But they need our support to continue strengthening the communities we call home. Whatever your favorite cause is, I hope you’ll join me in supporting Big Day of Giving 2015!

The Sacramento Suburban Water District (SSWD) is encouraging people to help celebrate this special occasion by passing on the bottled water and having a drink from the tap during Drinking Water Awareness Week (May 3rd through May 9th). SSWD recommends it as a great way to stay refreshed and help conserve water. The Pacific Institute estimates that the production of water bottles uses the equivalent of 17 million barrels of oil and that it takes three liters of water to produce one liter of bottled water. It’s also estimated that of the 50 billion plastic water bottles Americans use annually, only 23% are recycled. Help SSWD mark this anniversary by filling up a glass straight from the faucet, and if you’re out and about, download the free WeTap app for iPhone and Android to find the closest public water fountain. The app lets you know the condition of the fountain, and even if there’s a bowl available for Fido. Source: Original Communications H Classified Advertising Sell Your Stuff!

During football season I like to catch some of that on the weekends and Monday nights. And I’m so considerate these days --- I DVR all of it so I can skip through the commercials to cut down my hours before the tube, freeing up more time for your HGTV and Food Network shows. “And I really love it when you settle in for awhile and watch the games with me. I appreciate your level of sports knowledge and I’m sometimes surprised at the things you say (and I try not to let you see me roll my eyes at other times). And I only watch hockey when your not home or after you have gone to bed. “So tell me, honey, am I still your champ, or just a chump? Don’t answer that! At best, the answer is probably, ‘A little of both.’” You could say the same thing about most of the people all around the wide world of sports; and, then, there are some that are just champs (we think) and an awful lot more that are chumps. You don’t necessarily have to have a championship on your resume to be a “champ.” Keeping it relatively local, when you think about the cream of the crop you would likely name people such as Steph Curry, Tim Flannery, Bruce Bochy, Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner and a number of current Giants, Ronnie Lott, Steve Young, Brent Jones, Dave Stewart, J.T. Snow, Vlade Divac, Kevin Johnson, Tara VanDerveer, Mike Montgomery, Nate Thurmond, and of course, Willie Mays and Willie McCovey. And there is the injured Hunter Pence, hanging on the railing supporting his teammates, waiting to get healthy and for his PenceFenceCatch bobble-head to go public and claiming, “I would rather die than not make that catch.” You never hear anything bad about those people, but you can still never be 100% positive about their pure “champness.” Now, what the heck is going on with the Kansas City Royals? That team was universally admired last fall for the great run they had, and for the character and drive they displayed right through to Game 7 of the World Series where they came up short against the Giants. Maybe that frustration has gotten to them, because they seem to be taking it out on everybody they play. The Royals have been having beanball wars and bench-clearing rumbles on a regular basis this season --- already squaring off with the Athletics, Angels and White Sox, prompting Cleveland pitcher Trevor Bauer to wear boxing gloves in the dugout when the Royals came to town. K.C. --- almost a champion, but not quite. But when it comes to rumbles on a regular basis, turn to the NBA Playoffs that are looking more and more like WrestleMania than basketball. All the talk is about Kevin Love’s dislocated shoulder that will likely keep him out of the rest of the playoffs for Cleveland, suffered when he tangled with Boston’s Kelly Olynyk chasing after a loose ball. Afterward, Love stated he felt Olynyk’s play was an intentional attempt to injure, which Olynyk flatly denied. Love, who hooked up with Cleveland and LeBron James in a quest for a championship after wallowing in NBA limbo in Minnesota for years, was clearly speaking out of emotion and disappointment. That play appeared a bit reckless but rather mild compared to some others and to the general tenor of the action throughout the playoffs. The NBA basketball crowd thinks things should be completely different in the playoffs and that the officials should just “let them play.” Okay, but to what extent? Instead, maybe they should clean the playoffs up a bit before somebody takes a two-forearm shiver to the chops followed by a swat to the face, or somebody catches a swiping, backhanded punch to the chin and wrecks his knee when he falls, or somebody suffers “accidental” multiple fractures to his mug, or….oh, those things already happened. Add Kendrick Perkins and J. R. Smith to the “chumps” list. Whenever you hear the announcers say, “That’s a good no-call,” you should interpret that as, “There should’ve been a call there.” It’s a good bet that the chump that got his chest bruised by a high-flying LeBron James knee when he was run over as the twotime NBA champion scored a clock-beating lay-up was not lying on the floor in pain thinking, “That was a good no-call.” There seems to be plenty of chumps around the NBA and a bunch of them are on one team, the L. A. Clippers…DeAndre Jordan, just because he couldn’t sink a free throw to save his life; Matt Barnes, with his look and attitude; Blake Griffin, who has the reputation that nobody likes him; Chris Paul, with his little flops and falls that force the refs to call fouls on the defenders on punk-like plays that have nothing to do with the spirit of the game. On the other hand, the Warriors seem to have a roster and staff full of “golden boys,” good dudes on a roll. Perhaps it would be fitting if Golden State, awaiting the start of the second round after sweeping New Orleans, was to go on to win its first championship in, like, forever. There are some cases of a kind of transformation --- from once a champ, but now a horrible chump…or much worse --- guys like Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Lance Armstrong, Oscar Pistorius, Aaron Hernandez and the like. Those probably had a most awful “chumpness” in them all along. The vast majority seem to have some of both qualities, to varying degrees and categories: Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, Brian Wilson, Pablo Sandoval (sigh), Tiger Woods, Mark McGuire, Jose Canseco, Richard Sherman, Kobe Bryant, Urban Meyer, John Calipari, Jim Boeheim and on and on with the endless list. “So, my dearest, whatever label you might apply, or whatever you or anybody else might think of me and my relative sports addiction, it is safe to say that I am not alone.” H Gaylord Perry discusses his career. Story and photos by Ben Barber SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - The Sacramento River Cats sea- son is officially underway. It is the first year of the much anticipated association with Major League Baseball’s World Champion San Francisco Giants. The River Cats spent the majority of the summer making improvements throughout Raley Field, helping both players and fans. Season ticket holders will now have the luxury of the Legacy Club, a 5,000 square foot renovation to the suite level on the third base side. It features a full bar with a wide variety of California wines and a microbrew made specifically for the River Cats by Rubicon Brewing company called RBI IPA. If the life size LED screen casting the game isn’t impressive enough, then guests can stroll around the balcony to see a stunning view overlooking the field and the Sacramento skyline. Fans were also treated to an appearance by Gaylord Perry, who was being honored with an induction into the Pacific Coast League (PCL) Hall of Fame. He only played four seasons before moving up to the majors, where he continued his career for 22 years. While in the minors, he achieved the Pitcher of the Year title and helped lead the Tacoma Giants to a PCL championship. Perry was known for his spitball and lackadaisical attitude towards having the upper hand on batters. While in the Majors, he was caught with an emery board in his back pocket to scuff up the ball. In an era before center field cameras and close ups on pitchers, baseball was a very different game. Jeff Savage presents Gaylord Perry with the PCL Hall of Fame Certificate. Also as part of the new affiliation are some exciting events planned for the future, such as Star Wars Night on July 10th. The event was started by the San Francisco Giants, who celebrate the cultural phenomena of Star Wars that started in the Bay Area. With ticket sales up 1200% in comparison to last year, Sacramento baseball fans may have a tricky time getting in to see not only the upgrades, but the world class baseball that comes along with being associated with the San Francisco Giants. Roster names include multiple world champions that’ll have the town star struck.

At the outset of her latest presidential campaign, she decided to drive from New York to Iowa for her first campaign stop. Or, to be more precise, she decided to be driven to Iowa by a Secret Service agent as part of a three-car caravan in keeping with her security needs. For a former first lady and global celebrity, this is traveling light and spontaneous -- let’s load up the Secret Service detail and blow this joint. Her campaign referred to her vehicle as “her Scooby van,” evoking the lovable madcap crew of the cartoon series. This could be Kevin Kitrell Ross A positive path for spiritual living Senior Minister/CEO Unity of Sacramento Host, Design Your Life on UnityOnlineRadio.org Coach to America’s Rising Stars Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. (c) 2015 by King Features Synd., Inc. Welcome to Unity of Sacramento We are a transdenominational, intercultural, interfaith, spiritual community of love open to all people. We are a place to heal and a space to grow. We are a soft place to land for the traveler on the spiritual journey. Our Spiritual Leader Reverend Kevin Kitrell Ross, Senior Minister March 16, 2015 By Rich Lowry Scooby-Doo van, in 20 years. Perhaps Hillary can pull this off. It is easier to be a wealthy champion of the downtrodden as a Democrat. Consider Franklin Delano Roosevelt. But, with enough political hamfistedness, it’s entirely possible to come off as an out-of-touch phony. Just ask John Kerry. Hillary is far closer to the leaden Kerry or Al Gore than she is to her husband or Barack Obama. As potentially the first woman to be elected president, of course, she has “history” on her side. Kerry and Gore didn’t. But it’s not clear that this will work for her as powerfully as it did for Obama. His history-making first wasn’t just another item on his resume. It reinforced his case that America needed a thoroughgoing break with the politics of the past. Hillary will have many strengths -an electoral map that tilts toward the Democrats, a Republican Party that is still suffering a hangover from the Bush years, prodigious fundraising. But her planned road trip to the White House, even if she manages to get to her destination, will be more a grim forced march than a joyful excursion. Its motto might as well be: Oh, the fun we will pretend to have!

The International Cat Association (http://tica.org/) is another good resource, with lots of information and a robust show calendar. It’s important to be sure that George is up to the stress of being shown. Is he a friendly, well-socialized cat who is OK with being petted and picked up by strangers? Can he stay relaxed in a strange, noisy environment near several other cats? Is he in good health? Are his vaccinations up to date? Finally, attend one or two cat shows near you, without George, to see how they are conducted and decide if you’d like to make your cat a competitor. Send your questions or tips to ask@ pawscorner.com. DEAR PATSY: What you have to do is be the boss. Younger Daisy Mae is jealous of Pepper, who probably gets more attention. Pepper growls to let Daisy Mae know who’s boss; Daisy Mae gets aggressive. Fairness and sharing aren’t concepts you can teach these dogs. Pepper is the © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc. older dog.

There are no treats or rewards for refusing to obey your commands. You have to be the lawgiver in the household; they must know to behave when you’re in the room. If Daisy Mae acts up, she gets time out in a separate room. If she refuses to obey your commands around Pepper, she goes to a separate room. If she’s aggressive, the muzzle goes on. Don’t stand between them. At the first hint of aggression from either, remove Daisy Mae from the room. This is going to be a tough haul. Daisy Mae has been exhibiting this behavior for years now.

King Features Weekly Service THE RICH LOWRY COLUMN considered a cute little affectation, until you realize that she campaigned in a van in her 2000 Senate race, and for the same reason: to appear more relatable (the Secret Service reportedly referred to that vehicle, too, as the Scooby-Doo van). Hillary Clinton has been reintroducing herself to the public for so long that even her manufactured stabs at authenticity aren’t entirely new. Of course, the image she is trying to live down is the Hillary of the “Saturday Night Live” sketches, with her gratingly insincere laugh and her cringe-inducing blatant calculations. It is her curse as a politician of stamina and determination, but not of natural grace, that her maneuvers to reveal her “real” self always feel like obvious maneuvers. To say that she lacks the light touch is almost as much of an understatement as saying her husband is not a monk. Hillary’s worst moments on her book tour last year were her exaggerations, from the heights of her power, fame and wealth, of her own economic struggles. Negotiating the contrast between her middle-class message and her longtime upper-1-percent lifestyle would challenge an even more gifted politician. Driving is something everyday Americans do, well, every day; Hillary hasn’t driven, not even a Service Schedules Sunday Schools (All Ages) 9:45am Sunday Worship II 9:00 am Sunday Evening 6:00pm Wednesday Evening 7:00pm 6724 Palm Avenue, Fair Oaks, CA 95628 (Located one block South of Madison; just East of Dewey) Pastor Charles Carter (916) 967-3915 Call for more information 5 Year FIXED RATE Home Equity Line of Credit Loan Free Water Efficiency Survey 4.25% Initial APR* Is your home or business water wise?

The well-known quote from Star Wars: A New Hope, “May the Force Be with You,” is the basis of what is popularly referred to as Star Wars Day every year on May 4th (which of course makes a pun on the date May the 4th by substituting the word Fourth for Force). Since May 4th is on a Monday in 2015, the organizers have elected to expand the event to the preceding weekend and include more fandoms for even more fun. The 2015 event title “Intergalactic Expo” was chosen via a Facebook contest. The ticket sales and vendor room is at West Sacramento City Hall, 1110 West Capitol Ave., West Sacramento, CA 95691.

A majority suffer from discomfort as a result of loose or illfitting dentures. Many prosthetic wearers simply withdraw from any type of social engagement as a result of having to wear their dentures. Lower dentures almost never fit properly. They are loose fitting due to less surface area which can’t create a suction, shrinking gum tissue and bone loss, which can cause irritation in the mouth, sores and pain. The only relief is using sticky dental adhesive to help it, but it is very messy, hard to clean off and needs multiple applications throughout the day. Upper dentures are better than lower dentures due to a suction in the upper palate that keeps the denture in place. However, having the palate covered reduces the tastes of foods and the ability to tell the temperature of foods. Partial Dentures can be a source of discomfort due to lack of supporting teeth or an illfitting partial. Partials also use clasps to secure to existing teeth which can be noticeable and can put added pressure to the existing teeth. Now there is a solution to these issues: Implants with “Snap On” Dentures! Whether you are new to dentures or have worn them for years, a snap on denture is a great solution to uncomfortable chewing and slippery painful dentures. There are several types of snap on dentures available, including snap on partials. We make your denture or partial fit and function in harmony with the space available in your mouth, and give custom attention to the delicate fabrication of your snap on denture. A snap on denture gets some support from the implants that it snaps onto. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums, a snap on denture is anchored to multiple implant snaps and is therefore much more stable and comfortable. Two or more implant snaps can be used on the upper and/or lower jaw. The more snaps that are placed, the more stable the denture will be. Much like a four legged chair would be more stable than a three or two legged chair, the use of denture snaps keep the denture stable, secure and comfortable. These snaps are designed with different levels of retention, customized to the needs of the patient. When the snaps wear out, replacing them is a simple and inexpensive procedure. If you already wear a conventional denture or partial denture, we can sometimes use your denture to accommodate the snaps to fit on your new dental implants. If you are interested in learning more about improving your quality of life with an implant retained snap on denture or partial, please contact us for a FREE CONSULTATION today!
