A new superintendent has joined the ranks of leaders at Lodi Unified School District. Former chief business officer Tim Hern has been upgraded to associate superintendent, along with retaining the CBO tag.

(BPT) - When the Navy needs to complete seemingly impossible missions or track elusive targets, the job is often assigned to Naval Special Warfare (NSW) or Naval Special Operations (NSO) teams. These elite men and women work with dedication and intense courage in locations all over the world, and in every possible climate, to neutralize potential threats.

Four people were killed in a New Year’s Eve collision on Highway 12, but it is not clear exactly what happened, according to Sgt. Kyle Plant of the California Highway Patrol.

What’s the attraction: Landscape painter Francis McComas called Point Lobos “the greatest meeting of land and water in the world.” Hiking on any of the trails along the rocky shores and high cliffs, with stands of towering Monterey pines and short, twisted cypress trees on one side and crashing waves on the other, makes it easy to see why.

We asked Lodians to share their all-time favorite concert memories. Here’s what they said:

"I see something," Mitch said, pointing to a glint in the forest maybe 50 yards ahead.

An imposing brick building encircled by black fencing has been growing on Lower Sacramento Road in Woodbridge. It's the new office for the Woodbridge Irrigation District. District staff are still unpacking and sweeping up the last of the construction dust, but the project is complete.

Hours after their plane crashed on a steep and snowy mountainside in Idaho, a Galt firefighter, his wife and their daughter were airlifted to safety by National Guard rescuers on Sunday.

A man died Thursday after crash-landing in a vineyard off of Jahant Road while skydiving at the Lodi Parachute Center. The victim was identified Friday as William L. Calhoun, 71, of Novato, Calif.

Who: Lap and Cecilia Wong; Tony, Sharon, Betty and Stephanie Lin, of Lodi; Philip Kong of Stockton; Lilian and Jessica Tam, of Alameda; and Anna Wong, of Scarborough.

Terry Tarditi felt the ground shake after watching a World War II P-51 Mustang plummet toward the ground at the National Championship Air Races on Friday.

I was sleeping when my wife walked into the room and touched me on the shoulder. I'd worked swing shift the night before, so I was out like a light.

Here we are 10 years after the 9-11 attacks. I don’t know about you, but I remember where I was that September morning. I was sitting in my family room watching the morning news in shock as it all unfolded.

Think about it: A highway that stretches across states, the odd appeal of roadside attractions, the greasiness of truck stop burgers and the resonating lyrics of a perfectly planned playlist. It is time for a summer road trip. 

Although I am not very familiar with the work of Elizabeth Taylor (my film interests tend to run more toward the post-1965 New Hollywood), I would be remiss not to acknowledge her death on Wednesday at the age of 79. And although I definitely need to brush up on my 1950s melodramas, I know enough to admire the woman. In addition to delivering strong performances in the few early roles I’ve seen her in (most notably the Tennessee Williams adaptations “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” and the oft-neglected “Suddenly Last Summer”), she was also key to the success of 1966’s monumentally important “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”, which served as a much-needed slap in the face to the era’s Hays-code social mores, and also won Taylor a second Oscar as best actress.

Teacher Martha Snider was at Christa McAulliffe Middle School working on Lodi Unified School District’s computer system one Friday morning when a power glitch at the district administrative office disrupted the data.

The network server had gone down. Again.

Dale Munsch’s cell phone stuffed in his pocket alerted him to the issue and repairs began almost immediately. As the director of technology services, he is, after all, the first line of defense in getting the district’s computer system back up and running as quickly as possible before precious data is lost.

I've had a rough couple of weeks. By rough, I mean stressful. The kind of stress that makes my head spin and makes me lose focus on one project only to zip on to another and not be able to give it my full attention.

Roads are damaged. Trucks carrying supplies to help those in need are unable to get through. Many people are living in communities of tents. Some are living on the streets. For those who have water, the supply is dirty. Many don’t have any water or food. Disease is everywhere. This is the scene Elissa Kessler witnessed when she volunteered to work in a hospital in Haiti in May.

I'm writing because I saw something that renewed my faith in public humanity.

Next month, Lodi native Jeff Johnston will take the reins as the Lodi teachers' union president. It couldn't have come at a more tumultuous time.
