The Lodi-Tokay Rotary installed new officers Friday. Former president Gary Grider, the circulation manager for the Lodi News-Sentinel was "kicked out" with a News-Sentinel themed skit at Mason's Beach.

The club welcomed the new president, Michael Pretz, along with president-elect Dave Akins, vice president John Marshal, secretary Suzanne Mangum, treasurer Ron Williamson, service projects chair Walley Sandelin and public relations chair Jennelle Bechthold.

Lodi-Tokay Rotary will hold two events this year, Octoberfest and a wine-judging and tasting event. All fundraising events and service projects support the community and promote a polio-free world.

State urges consumers to check licenses

The state Department of Consumer Affairs is making an extra effort this summer to combat unlicensed activity statewide. The department is urging consumers to check DCA's Web site before using the services of a licensed professional.

The department provides consumers with current license status information on 2.4 million professionals such as doctors, veterinarians, contractors, security guards and locksmiths.

Consumers should verify an individual's or a company's license to avoid unscrupulous or unqualified people who promote deceptive products or services. Simply visit http://www.consumer-.ca.gov, then at the top of the page click on the tab "For Consumers" and scroll down and click on "Licensee Verification."

Wal-Mart to cut costs on 16,000 items

NEW YORK — Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, set the stage for price wars Monday as it announced it's cutting prices on more than 16,000 items starting this week in a bid to turn around sales for the critical back-to-school season.

Shares of key retailers such as Sears Holding Corp. and J.C. Penney Co. were down, as investors worried about how ensuing price wars would affect profit margins. Wal-Mart rose 5 cents to close at $48.11.

Wal-Mart's price cuts, which range from 10 percent to 50 percent, will be backed by a new ad campaign on how to save money as gas prices remain high and kids head back to school. The cuts involve even more items than in the year-ago period, according to Melissa O'Brien, a company spokeswoman.
