Librarian’s Bookshelf:  All UMHS library books are now overdue.

The library is gathering all materials back before summer school starts.  Over 122 books are still out!  So if your student has a book stamped “UMHS Library”, it’s overdue.  All materials must be returned by Friday, May 22 to avoid a $5.00 over-the-summer per item fine. 

Thanks for your help.

 Librarian’s Bookshelf:  Teen fun at the El Dorado County Library this summer

Our local county library is launching a teen poetry contest this summer.  Poems will consist of only six words.  The contest is called the “Six-Word Memoir Project.”  An example would be “Born in California Then nothing happened.”  Click on this link for more information.  http://www.eldoradolibrary.org/  Or call Krystal Owens at 621-5333.

The Summer Reading Club at the county library always needs lots of teen volunteers.  Please call the children’s librarian, Jan Robbins, at 621-5547 for more information.  Volunteering is fun and it looks great on resumes and scholarship applications.

 As the school year comes to an end, so does our Spring Sports season. JV and Varsity Baseball had their last game Friday at Christian Brothers, only to fall 5 – 6 at the JV level, and 2 – 8 at Varsity. Varsity kept a competitive edge half way through the season, but ended 7 – 11 in League standings. JV ended their League season 6 – 12. Thanks to our teams for their exciting games!

 Boys Golf made it as far as the sub-sections tournament but none of our players qualified to move on. Girls soccer also had a tough season and did not advance to playoffs. Although Varsity Softball ended their final League game against Christian Brothers with a 10 – 0 win, they did not move on to playoffs.

 Nine of our Varsity Boys and Girls Swim team members qualified to compete at the Sections Trials this week at Tokay High School in Lodi. Keri Schnaidt, Riley Heryet, Quinn Beattie, and Kirstie Sanew will compete Thursday, while the Varsity Boys team of Coleman Goode, Nick Hood, A. J. Hull, Dan Levine, and Morgan Lloyd will compete on Friday. The finals are on Saturday and we’re hoping all nine move on to compete then!

 Boys Tennis finished 6 – 6 in League, with 95% of the team earning a 3.0 or better GPA. At the end of the season, the boys hosted a Mixed Doubles tournament inviting the fall girls team to come out and play. It was a festive event for both teams!

 Track and Field is competing today, Wednesday, at the SVC League Trials at Cordova High. Those who qualify will compete Friday, and if times and distances are good, they will move on to compete at sub-sections next week, May 20th and 22nd, at Bella Vista. As always, we wish our D-Backs the best in personal times and records today!

 Varsity Boys Volleyball made playoffs, and got their first round victory last Thursday against Rio Linda in three straight games, 25 – 11, 25 – 11, and 25 15. Last night they played in the second round at Monterey Trail in Elk Grove, only to drop in three games. This was the first year of boys volleyball playoffs, and we’re proud of how well our team did to compete against much larger schools!
     �
       The 2009-10 Athletic Packets are here and available for students to come and pick up and fill out. Fall sports tryouts will begin after school on August 10th, and most tryouts will continue that whole first week. Students must have at least a 2.0 GPA at the end of this grading period ending May 22nd to be eligible. Should your student’s grades fall below the 2.0 GPA, it is strongly recommended they attend Summer School to maintain their eligibility. Students are encouraged to turn in the 09-10 Athletic Packet before the school year ends in order to be “cleared” by the first day of school in August. Our office will be open until Friday, May 29th, and staff will not return until Monday, August 3rd. We suggest students and parents take care of this before the summer break begins.  Should you have any questions regarding Athletics here at Union Mine, please call our Athletic Office at 621- 4003, ext 4125, or call our Athletic Director, Dave Johnson, at 621-0392.  Go Diamondbacks!�

       Varsity and JV Baseball teams seem to be riding the roller coaster of wins and losses the past few games. Both teams were elated with their wins at Vista del Lago last Friday, 1- 0 for Varsity and 10 – 5 for JV. However, they dropped to the “Eagles” when they came to UMHS on Monday, 3 – 4 and 2 -12, respectively. Yesterday our D-Backs played at Cordova where both Varsity and JV won. Varsity squeezed out the win, 6 – 5, while JV’s score was 10 – 8. Tomorrow both teams play Cordova again here at home.
     �
       Varsity Boys Golf played Cordova at Rancho Cordova Golf Course Tuesday where our team lost by 3 strokes, 193 – 190. Today they host Vista del Lago at Cameron Park. We’re looking for good shooting and a possible win today from our D-Backs. Good luck, guys!

JV also had two goals by Morgan Lefebreve and Kassi Hoelscher, but Galt went on to win, 2 – 4. Monday, April 27th, will be their last home game of the season hosting Oak Ridge. The games are free, so come and cheer our Ladies to a victory. Varsity begins at 4 pm, with JV to follow around 6 pm.

       Boys Tennis had a great win against Vista del Lago on Monday, 6 – 3, but yesterday’s matches at Christian Brothers didn’t quite go our way. In hoping for some matches to swing towards D-Back luck, we lost the overall contest, 4 – 5. Monday our guys will host Ponderosa at 4 pm, and Tuesday we’ll have another Mixed Doubles Tournament, where our current boys players will team up with our girls tennis team members from the Fall season. It’s always a hit with the students, and matches begin at 3:15. Come and watch!
     �
       Yesterday our Track and Field team hosted the “Bruins” of Ponderosa. Our Frosh/Soph team literally “ran away” with a victory, 77 – 54, with memorable performances and first place finishes by Beau Bridge in the 200, 400 M and High jump events, and Cory Gutierrez in the 800 and 2-mile race.

     �
       For the past few weeks, JV and Varsity Boys Volleyball have been on a victory roll, easily defeating Rio Americano, El Camino, and El Dorado this past Tuesday. Last night, however, our luck ran out in the winning odds \down at Oak Ridge. JV played hard but lost their match in two straight games. Varsity showed fine moments of fluid play, and put the scare into the “Trojans” in that first game, 26 – 28. Despite their hard efforts, our D-Backs went on to drop the next two in close games, 22 – 25 and 17 – 25. This Saturday they play at El Dorado’s Tournament, then face Christian Brothers next Tuesday in Sacramento. In addition, due to boys volleyball playoffs beginning May 7th, the last two games scheduled on May 5th and May 7th have been moved to Wednesday, April 22nd and Wednesday, April 29th, respectively. El Camino will host on the 22nd while we host El Dorado on the 29th. Our Varsity boys are hoping for a bid at playoffs this year! Good luck, D-Backs!
