"The donations are rolling in, says Susan Macauley, chairman of the Elegant Auction committee.
   The Elegant Auction, the only fund-raising event to benefit the Oakhurst Community Park, will be held at the Tenaya Lodge in Fish Camp on Saturday, May 1, beginning at 5:30 p.m. with a silent auction followed by a live auction.
   The committee is presenting to each business who donates to the auction a big blue ribbon to let the community know it is a contributor to the event.
    The business can post the ribbon, which has been laminated to make it waterproof, in its window or other location.
    Jeannie Darnell has designed the award-like ribbon, and employees of Sierra Telephone are making them.

    Tiffany Burrow, a senior at Yosemite High School, has been named the 1999 Northern California Journalist of the Year by the Journalism Education Association of Northern California.
   Tiffany is now competing for the title of National High School Journalist of the Year. That winner will be announced at the Journalism Education Association Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico April 11. Tiffany and her journalism teacher, Earlene Ward, will attend the convention.
   Tiffany is general manager of the YHS student newspaper, Blue Print, this year. Last year she was editor-in-chief. She continues to write stories and a column for the student paper in addition to her other duties.
   She has worked as an intern at the Sierra Star and she is a member of The Fresno Bee Teen Corps.
    She was editor of the high school literary magazine as a freshman. When she was in the eighth grade at Bass Lake Elementary School she published a student newsletter.
   Tiffany has been accepted at Brigham Young University where she will major in journalism and minor in music.
   She would like to start her journalism career on a smaller newspaper and work her way up to a large daily. She especially enjoys page design. After working in the profession for several years, she says she might become a high school newspaper advisor.

    COARSEGOLD - There weren't enough seats for the overflow of concerned parents, friends and co-workers attending the Coarsegold Unified Board of Trustees meeting in the cramped Coarsegold Elementary School library last Wednesday evening.
   Many stood and leaned against a back counter. Others stood in the doorways and down the ramp.
   The reason? Many were there to show support and others to express their displeasure in the board's decision to return Danny Teevens to the position of Rivergold principal.
