Sonora Elementary School eighth-grader Alee Rutledge aced the SAT exam and was accepted into a prestigious program for advanced learners designed by Johns Hopkins University.

Young student nails SAT, accepted into prestigous program By SEAN CARSON The Union Democrat

When Alee Rutledge walked into Sonora High School to take the SAT in December, he certainly stood out as di6erent. Not only is he 12, but his scoressome nearly double the national average — placed the Sonora Elementary student in a league of his own. Rutledge, an eighth-grader,arranged for the testing as part of an application to Johns Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth

(CTY) Talent Search, a program with online and summer courses designed foradvanced learners in grades two through eight. A few weeks ago, he was accepted and qualified for an elite subset called Study of Exceptional Talent (SET) based on a score of 710 in the critical reading section.Theaverage scoreforthatsection in 2015was 495,according CollegeBoard statistics, Rutledge said. "I' ve always felt a little modest about it. It makes me uncomfortable," he said.

Rutledge's score coupled with his age quali fi ed him forthe program, whichprovidesservicesforstudents not ready for college but who may need something more than the typical high school curriculum. Online courses and summer programs at partneruniversitiesarealsoo6ered, as they are to all CTY students. Months of hard work went into studying for the test, and he took it twicebeforescoringthe above-700 mark required by SET, Rutledge said. See RUTLEDGE / Back Page

Council to weigh pot regs in February By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

A divided Sonora Planning Commission endorsed potential regulations Monday night that would allow city residents with a medical-marijuana prescription to grow up to six plants at their homes. The commission voted 3-1-1 to approve a proposed ordinance that would lift a longstanding ban on all marijuana

cultivation in the city and establish a restric tiveprocessforqualified patients to grow the plant legally. Commissioners Chris Gamin, John Richardson and Gary Anderson voted in favor of the regulations, saying they provided a legal path for people with legitimate medical needs to grow the drug and strict enough to prevent a major surge in marijuana cultivation around the city. Voting in opposition, Commissioner

Darren Eaton said he felt the proposal would be too costly for the city to enforce and for average people to comply with. Commissioner Ron Jensen did not attend the meeting due to a family emergency. "If we' re going to do it, then this is a pretty good way of doing it," Anderson said. "It's got a lot elements in it that I think is going to keep it under control."

vation committee, potential rate increases range from 11.4percent to more than 70 percent, depending on water usage. For example, the current rate for 3,300 gallons a month is $56.84, and the proposed new rate for the same usage is $78.24, a 37.6 percent increase. District staff calculate that a typical home customer uses40,000 gallons a year for about $700: just under 2 cents a gallon. Proposed new rates mean the same amount could annuallycostabout $1,000, or 2.5 cents a gallon. There's a public hearing scheduled at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Groveland Community Hall, 18720 Highway 120, where the boardofdirectorswillhear comments from the public before voting on the potential increase. "I'm always against rate increases," Groveland resident Kevin Russell said Monday. "I'd be against that. I will go to the public hearing." The district has received about 100 letters protesting the rate increase, said Jennifer Flores, the district's office manager. To

According to a Tuolumne County S h eriff's O f fi ce press release, deputies responded to the scene about 8:26 p.m.Oct. 7 and found a man outside a house who had a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. The man told law enforcement oflicials he had been in a fight with another man and, during the altercation, the man fired multiple rounds at him and threatened to kill him and his family, the press release stated.

Renate Mooney, who lives next door to where the shoot ing occurred, was in h er house when she heard more than five gunshots and people yelling. "Then I called 911," she said the night of the incident. Katie Nemec, who was visiting Mooney at the time, said she heard a man and woman arguing. "I heard a woman yelling, 'So why do you have a gun? What are going to do? You going to shoot? Well then go ahead and shoot, she said. "Then he started swearing back." After that, another gunshot was heard, Nemec said.

GUEST COLUMN

California about to take its political back seat California is in the fore&ont of most things. From new

tax formulas and TV shows to new electronic devices, pioneering farm irrigation techniques and innovative hairstyles, trends begin in California and work their way east across the county.

But not in presidential pol i t ics. There, C a lifornia ThPITIaS legislators have opted to make this state a backwater, one whose national leadership depends in large part on the whims and wishes of people in far smaller places like Iowa, New Hampshire, SouthCarolinaand even neighboring Nevada. It's a classic case of the tail wagging the dog. Yes, up until now,because presidentialdebatesaretelevised nationally, Californians have felt part of the process. But that ends Feb. 1, when Iowans — fresh &om their Rose Bowl beating by a California team — head to schools gyms, church recreation rooms and just about anyplace that will hold a couple of hundred emotional persons staging first-in-the-nation caucuses that begin to determine who will be America's next President. Meanwhile, California — by far the most populous state — will vote last, along with New Jersey and New Mexico — and likely have nothing much to say about who the two candidates will be. If the history of the last 11 presidential elections means anything, by the time Californians get ready to vote in June, the outcome in both major parties will be determined by people in other places. But there was nothing preventing California &om scheduling its vote on Feb. 16, a week after New Hampshire. Or two weeks later on Feb. 23, the day when ¹ vada Republicans will caucus (Democrats there caucus three days later). And because both parties consider California solidly Democratic territory, the state's voting outcome predetermined by its large Latino population and its big Democratic voter registration advantage, the two finalists for President also will spend little time or money here. They won't even advertise much here. Or at least they didn'tfour or eight or 12 years ago,or even during the just-ending runup to the primary election season. That makes those with big money to donate are the only Californians who count in this year's presidential politics. They are about the only people candidates see

on their few trips to the state, which amount to vacuum-

cleaning operations that suck up cash &om the wealthy. California, with about 12 percent of the national populace, had accounted for more than 16 percent of all campaigncash atthe lastreporting date. It didn't have to be this way. Yes, both the national Republican and Democratic parties have rules against anyonevotingbefore Iowa and New Hampshire,which holds its snowy primary eight days after Iowa. But there was nothing preventing California &om scheduling its vote on Feb. 16, a week after New Hampshire. Or two weeks later on Feb. 23, the day when Nevada Republicans will caucus (Democrats there caucus three days later). Yes, the naysayers will tell you that letting the littleguys go first gives a chance to candidates who can't raise much money to start with, but can later,

after winning a few small-state primaries. California just costs too much, they contend. Tell that to the well-financed likes of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Others will say California has tried this before, with several primaries in late February and early March over the last 20 years that nevertheless didn' t have much influence on the national outcomes. The

problem with this claim is that some of those primaries did matter: For example, Hillary Clinton's 2012 win here in late February kept her in the Democratic race against Barack Obama for months afterward. Without California, Clinton would have been left for dead after her losses in Iowa and New Hampshire. The realreason for allthis is the self-interest of California state legislators, who know an early primary would force them to accelerate their schedules, decision-making and fund-raising. They would have to declare for office and start schmoozing donors months ahead of the current mid-March deadline. They don't say this, of course, preferring to hide behind the fact that an early election might cost about $100 million more. But in a state budget of more than $220 billion, that election cost is less than peanuts. Besides that, isn't it worth something to have Californians feel involved, even inspired? There will be little of that feeling here this spring, though, as the candidates slog through dozens of states while taking breaks to fly here for fund-raising dinners. That senseofbeing leftout can be laid atthe feetof state lawmakers, who never seem to pay any price for

GUEST COLUMN

Having courage to do what you can' t Republicans fulfilled a popular campaign pledge last week when, by a 240181 vote, the House passed a billrepealing the AfFordable Care Act and defunding Planned Parenthood. The bill, already passed by the Senate, now goes to the desk of President Barack Obama, where it surely will be vetoed. Just when, I have to ask, did my Grand Old Party's idea of victory become passing bills that won't become law? What's so glorious about fecklessness? The GOP House put an awful lot of work — it has voted to repealObamacare 62 times — into passing something that cannot become law while Obama is president and there are not enough Republicans to override a veto. Yet I see progress. This was the first time the Senate passed a repeal bill — thanks to a budget reconciliation rule that allows leadership to bypasscloture rules that require 60 votes. "Every single member of our conferencecampaigned on repealofthis disastrous law," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's spokesman, Don Stewart, told me. They all delivered. Republicans did not deliver a bill with an alternative health care plan — to the glee of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, whose office posted on a blog about the many times House Republicans have promised an alternative without wrapping the package. It seems there is not a lotofpressure forRepublicans to support an alternative bill; the heavy pressure lines up behind gimmicks. Or maybe that's changing. Last year, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, argued it was the "right thing" for the GOP Congress to risk shutting down the government by passing a spending bill that defunded Planned Parenthood. Cruz didn't care how that same tactic backfired in 2013 or that ¹ tional Right to Life President Carol Tobias opposed his shutdown gambit. She told supporters that given how congressional rules work, the only way to defund

Planned Parenthood is to elect a president who opposes abortion. For once, the lemming caucus didn't herd the whole GOP caucus toward the cliff. Tobias told me the newly passed measure shows that the Senate can pass a bill to defund Planned Parenthood with a simple majority vote. That's a win. And: "There were a lot of conservatives and Republicans who didn't think Mitt Romney was good enough. So they didn't vote." Obama won re-election. Now "many of these same people are ... upset that Republicans in Congress aren't doing what they consider to be enough. I'm sorry; elections have consequences."

Here's what bugs me: The House Freedom Caucus withholds voteswhich sends House Speaker Paul Ryan into Pelosi's loving arms. Then the caucus complains that Ryan worked with Democrats. As the House passed the Obamacare repeal, caucus head Raul Labrador ofIdaho announced that Ryan's honeymoon is over — and Ryan "needs to start putting up real conservative reform" to show that he is differ-

the Affordable Care Act's tax on "Cadillac" health plans and the 2.3 percent excise tax on medical devices. The impure GOP establishment actually passed measures that peeled back Obamacare. Critics on the far right want to rub away the shine of accomplishment. Talk to Republican voters and many seem unaware of GOP victories. The think tank establishment and radio talk show hosts tell the base that the GOP leadership is good for nothing, when the eggheads are good for getting nothing done. The notion that the GOP-led Congress doesn't do anything feeds Democrats' claims that this is a "do-nothing" Congress. To the contrary, under Republican control, the Senate passed the first multiyear highway bill since 2005. Obama signed it in December. Since 1997, Congress regularly has had to pass "doc fixes" to avert huge scheduled cuts in payments to physicians that would have chased physicians out of Medicare. This Congress repealed the formula that made those fixes necessary. In April, Obama signed the bill. In November, the presidentsigned a defense billthat raised military pay and impedes his promise to close Guantanamo Bay. Yes, totheir discredit, Republicans didn't pay for these reforms. But these measures represent steps in the right

American detained by North Korea W ASHINGTON — T h e government of North Korea has detained a U.S. citizen on suspicion of spying, CNN reported Monday. It said a man identified as Kim Dong Chul was being held by the Pyongyang government and said authorities had accused him of engaging in spying and stealing state secrets. In an interview with a CNN correspondent, Kim said he had traveled extensivelyinrecentyearsbetween China and North Korea and hadmade some trips to South Korea as well. In Washington, State Department spokesman John Kirby said he could not confirm the report. He declined to discuss the issue further or confirm whether the U.S. was consulting with Sweden, which handles U.S. consular issues in North Korea because WashingtonandPyongyang do not have diplomatic relations. ''We are looking into the matter, and when we have more that we can say — ifwe have more that we can say-

candidates out there Today's prime-time address marks a transition for Obama — his last highprofile opportunity to speak to the publicbefore voting begins on Feb. 1. While Obama has so far succeeded in staving offlame duck status — largely through a seriesofaggressive executive actions — the nation's attention has been drawn inevitably to the presidential contest. Still, Obama's reliance on executive powers means many of his actions couldbeerasedbya Republican president. He's vowed to campaign aggressively for the Democratic nominee, andhis administrationis seen as favoring Clinton, though the president won' t formally back a candidate during his party' sprimary. The looming election means that prospectsare low for signifi cant legislative accomplishments between the Democratic president and Republican lawmakers. Acknowledging that reality,Obama's speech will have few of the new policy proposals that typically fill

the annual presidential address to Congress. Still, the president will tout progress on the economy, which was plunging into the depths of recession when he took office and is now humming at a m ore comfortablepace. He'sexpected to keep uphis appealsforbroader actions to address gun violence, reform the criminal justice system and formally approve asweeping Asia-Pacifi c trade pact.

about the drug getting into the wrong hands. "It's a mind-altering substance,"he said after the meeting. "We' re not talking about a garden of tomatoes." Gamin said the issue reminded him of discussions in 2012 regarding an ordinance allowing people to keep a certain number of chickens on their property within the city. Though the ordinance was ultimately approved by the city council, the issue sparked much debate between people in favor of raising chickens and those worried it would become a disturbance. "We had some people, a very interesting group of

people, who advocated for people being able to grow poultry in the City of Sonora limits," he said. "Since then, I haven't heard of any chicken infracti ons or abuses of the poultry ordinance." Prior to endorsing the regulations, the commission added a recommendation for the council to review the ordinance afler one year and determine whether it should be modified, repealed or left alone. The commission also directed City Attorney Byron Smith to look into the legality of notifying surrounding property owners if anyone who lives close to them were issued a permit to grow pot. Despitelarge turnouts at recent Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors meetings on the topic of medical marijuana, three members of the public attended Monday's meeting and one spoke againstthe more restrictive provisions in the city's proposal. Also at Monday's meeting, the commission was scheduled to decide on issuing a design review permit for a proposed beer garden at 198 S. Green St. However, it was announced

that the applicant, identified in city documents as "Trado Restaurant," has decided to postpone the project due to medical issues.

''We anticipate that they'll

make some decisions, either to bring it back or decide what they' re doing with it, in a month or two," said Paula Daneluk, the city's planning consultant.

RUTLEDGE Continued from Page Al Over the summer he dove into SAT prep books. "I dolike books a lot,butI wouldn't consider myself totally a book worm," he said. Each January, Alee goes with his family to the desert forthree days to ride motorcycles. "Most people, when they think of smart, they think of studying all the time and books, but I' ve found I have a natural aptitude for picking stuff up," Rutledge said. "My dad pushed me as a kid to learn, so I' ve always had time to do stuff like (motorcycle riding), but I always get my work done before." Once accepted, Rutledge enrolled in a two-week fundamentals of computer science course offered at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, and may consider East Coast boarding schools for high school, said his father, Dave Rutledge. "A big part of this story is nobody knew about this program," Dave Rutledge said. "I feel a little evangelistic." The proud father said the program is something all Mother Lode parents with "talented kids should con-

He heard about the program through a student in a class on drones the father and son hosted at their Lambert Falls home last year. Dave Rutledge, a business director for Switzerland-based company Hexagon, specializes in GPS technology and regularly hoststhe courses fortalented students, he said. At 12, his son could not sign up for the SAT online like most students due to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, which prevents websites &om collecting information &om children younger than 13.

GrovelandCommunity Services District gets all its water &om upper Tuolumne River watershed runofF, which is captured in Yosemite National Park by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission's Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. The district d i stributes treatedwater to about 3,500 customers in Groveland, Big Oak Flat and Pine Mountain Lake. Its water supply and distribution system includes three water treatment plants, five storage reservoirs and

about 70milesofpipes. Groveland resident Conor Parsons, one of the managers at FireFall Coffee Roasting Company, said he is opposed to a rate increase. "Speaking as a resident, San Francisco owns all that water, so I think they control the rates," Parsons said. "So I think we' re paying for improvement t o

t h ei r s y s-

tem. We have to pipe all our water down there. We have signs in town saying conserve water because they' re doing maintenance work on the lines. I guarantee they don' t have those signs down in San Francisco." About 10people attended a meeting of the Groveland CSD board of directors on Monday,and some of them were curious about the rate increase, Flores said. "We're getting a lotofquestions from our customers, and

most of them are really good questions," said Steve Perreira, a board member who

serves on the water conservation c ommittee. "People weren't coming to meetings before. Now there's a rate increase, they' re interested."

Accordingto district stafF, the effort to establish a new water rate structure for Groveland CSD is in compliance with Proposition 218, the state law that outlines how public agencies must legally raise rates. In late November, the district mailed out more than 3,400 public notices about the proposed rate increase, Flores said.

Written protests against the proposed rate increase must be received by the district by the end of the public hearing on Wednesday. Each written protest must identify

an owner of the property, the parcel number or address of the affected property, and include the original signature of an owner or renter. Only one

objection per parcel will be counted in calculating a majorityprotestto the proposed rate change. Written protestscan be sent to: Groveland Community Services District, P.O. Box 350, Groveland, CA 95321. Email and photocopies of signed protests will not be accepted.

be made through a local high school for the testing. Sonora Union High School District Superintendent Pat Chabot and Assistant Principal Julie Koozer helped make the test possible. "Having Pat Chabot step up ... I can't say enough good things about him," Dave Rutledge said. Koozer said young students registering for the SAT test is becoming a growing trend. Sonora Elementary Principal Christopher Boyles long recognized Rutledge's academic gi's. Through the years, we' ve always tried to enhance the curriculum for him to meet his needs," Boyles said. According to Boyles, Rutledge earned a perfect score on his second-grade StandardizedTesting and Reporting (STAR) test, and has since placed in advanced and highly proficient categories on all end-of-t he-year tests. "Classes go a little slow for me," Rutledge said. Going into high school, Rutledge hopes the acceptance will help the school understandhisneed foraccelerated programs to stay engaged. Rutledge uses the term "special stuff" a word phrase he said is an accurate description, but one he feels "weird" using.

I'm not a big drinker, but I do love an occasional vodkatini (the Cosmopolitan being the prototype). A vodkatini is a cocktail made with vodka served "up" (without ice). It often includes vermouth, liqueurs, fruit juicesand fresh fruit. Since it is peak blood orange season here in California, I was inspired to create my own cocktail, which I have named a "Blood Orange Vodkatini.n The name "Blood Orange Vodkatini" may be more cosmopolitan than a Cosmopolitan.

Fried shrimp and oysters and covered in a tangy remoulade for an Oyster and Shrimp Po'boy.

Oysters and shrimp are stars of Southern-style sandwich

By MARIO BATALI Tribune Content Agency

As I'm making a trip down to New Orleans this month (half business, half pleasure), Big Easy recipes have been on my mind. You' ll discover a little taste of my most treasured city in America to visit in these quick, easy oyster and shrimp po'boys. My favorite "Sammie" in the Big Easy is at Domilise's Po-Boy & Bar on Annunciation Street. This is my take on their best sandwich of all. Oysters are one of my most cherishedfoods — briny,alluring and glorious with very little fuss. When testing this recipe for my most recent cookbook, "America Farm to Table," we got our oysters from the Pemaquid Oyster Company in Damariscotta,Maine, where Jeff"Smokey" McKeen raises over a million oysters each year.

Oddly enough, my favorite version of the greatest remoulade sauce on the entire planet is served at Pearl Oyster Bar in New York's West Village, where chef Rebecca Charles makes the besttartar sauce I've ever

tasted. I modified the recipe for this po'boy; but when I eat it, I am back on Annunciation Street, dreaming. Mario Batali is the award-

winning chef behind 25 restaurants including Eataly,

Del Posto, and his flagship Greenwich Village enoteca,

Babbo.

salty popcorn The first thing you need to know about this recipe is that it was a group effort, and I am simply the messenger. It was cooked up for an office party by Chris, our vice president of sales development. Chris (long ago) was also a writer for The Kitchn and is a crackerjack cook. He set out bowls of this spicy, buttery, bright yellow popcorn that left a little sweetness on the tongue, and a lingering heat. Ot was crazy good, and we all wanted the recipe. It's spicy, sweet and warming all at once — but watch out — it will stain your fingers yellow! (A good time to practice eating popcorn with chopsticks.)

Sweet & Salty Curried Po corn Serves 8 2 tablespoons olive oil 3/4 cup popcorn kernels 1/4 cup unsalted butter 2 tablespoons curry powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon turbinado or demerara sugar, plus more to taste Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart (or larger) pan over medium heat. Add several kernelsofpopcorn.When they pop,add the rest of the popcorn kernels and shake the pan lightly to distribute them. Cover the pan with a lid, but crack it slightly to let steam escape. Warm the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the curry powder and salt and stir to combine. Keep warm while the popcorn pops. When the popcorn finishes popping, pour into a large bowl and shake to make the unpopped kernels settle to the bottom. Stir the sugar into the warm butter and pour immediately over the popcorn. Stir thoroughly. Serve warm. Faith Durand is executive editor of TheKitchn.corn, a nationally known blog

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company,either ofwhich may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: Thesale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site htt://www. ualit loan.corn, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-15-678189-CL . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released ofpersonal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

Giving friends chance to apologize best bet DEAR ANNIE: In October, I visited my family in France. Three weeks after Ireturned home, the terrorist

attacks occurred. My husband was out of town and I was all alone. My family in France, thankfully, was safe. I consider myself a loyal friend. However, only one person called to

ask about my family and about me. That person was actually a business acquaintance. I am deeply grateful forthat call,buttruly surprised and disappointed that there were no others. A family member phoned two days later, saying he had been so busy with work that he didn't hear about the attacks until later. I was polite, but seriously, people would have to be living under a rock not to have heard the news immediately. It was an extremely difficult time for me, and I am terribly hurt and angry that no one else took a few seconds to ask whether my family was OK or to find out how I was handling things. I received a Christmas card

to apologize. You will be much less angry and upset if you can grant forgiveness and start &esh. Of course,ifthey offer feeble excuses and make no attempt to say they are sorry,feel free to from one firiend who wrote only to stop responding to their calls.

PSA test has a place in treating prostate cancer DEAR DR. ROACH: I read your recent column on PSA screening for prostate cancer.

One of can be meaningful and should not the messages that has trickled out to be brushed off — which is happening patients in the controversy over PSA quite a bit in the community.

Today is Tuesday, Jan. 12, the 12th day of 2016. There are 354 days left in the year. Today's Highlights in History: On Jan. 12, 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson said in his State of the Union address that the U.S. military should stay in Vietnam until Communist there was stopped. The TV series "Batman," inspired by the comic book and starring Adam West and Burt Ward as the Dynamic Duo, premiered on ABC, airing twice a week on consecutive nights. On thisdate: In 1773, the first public museum in America was organized in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1828, the United States and Mexico signed a Treaty of Limits defining the boundary between the two countries to be the same as the one established by an 1819 treaty between the U.S. and Spain. In 1915, the U.S. House of Representatives rejected, 204-174, a proposed constitutional amendment to give women nationwide the right to vote. The silent film drama "A Fool There Was," which propelled Theda Bara to stardom with her portrayal of a predatory vamp, premiered in New York. In 1945, during World War II, Soviet forces began a major, successful offensive against the Germans in Eastern Europe. Aircraft from U.S. Task Force 38 sank about 40 Japanese ships off Indochina.

Fluke goal lifts S3 over Flames CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Joel Ward scored midway through the third period to help the San Jose Sharks hold off the Calgary Flames 5-4 on Monday night. Joe Thornton, Joonas Donskoi, Logan Couture, and Brent Burns also scored for the Sharks. Martin Jones finished with 31 saves — including 15 in the third period — for the win. Burns' power-play goal at 5:12 of the third broke a 3-3 tie. Ward scored 5 minutes later to give San Jose atwogoal lead. San Jose needed just 34 seconds on its only power play of the night to score on the NHLs worst penalty-killing team. Burns sneaked in from the blue line uncovered and one-timed a feed from Thornton. Burns then assisted on Ward's fluke goal — deflected in off the leg of Mark Giordano — with 9:39 remaining.

Klay Thompson added 17 points to help the Warriors (36-2) get halfway to Chicago's record win total of 72 set in 1996-97 three games before the midpoint of the season. Dwyane Wade scored 20 points for the Heat. But these Warriors teams are far different and that showed against a resilient Heat team that battled all night but was unable to handle the depth of the Warriors despite the rare off-shooting night from Curry. Curry missed seven of his first nine 3-point but the Warriors tied the Philadelphia 76ers (1966-67) for the fourth longest regular-season home win streak in NBA history. Chicago holds the record of 44 set in 1996-97.

Summerville Bears head coach Ben Watson never gets too high from a win, or too low from a loss. And his team has taken on

that thought process. Even after Summerville beat the Calaveras Redskins 69-54 Monday night in San Andreas, the Bears didn' t let the big win t ake their focus off of the main goal, which is a Mother Lode League championship. "It's a great win, but you can't dwell on it too much," said Summerville senior guard Braden A nderson. "There are 10 games left and we have to play these guys again. So, although it is a great win, and it shows how great of a team we are, you just can't dwell on it. There is so much more to be had." There was a d i f f erent mood in the Calaveras locker room following the loss. The Calaveras players and coaches know it is a better team than what showed up Monday night, but perhaps the main problem starts with what goes on during non-game days. "It starts at practice," Calaveras senior Dylan Byrd said."We have trouble getting the energy going and I think it has a lot to do with individuals not wanting to give effort. I' ve had my mo-

ments. Everybody has had their moments. But we need to get rid of those moments and start giving more effort and remember why we are playing in the first place." Summerville got plenty of effort from Eli and Ethan McLaurin. Ethan scored a gamehigh 27 points while brother rebounds Eli scored 21 and pulled down 15 rebounds. Calaveras had no answer forthe McLaurin's,and Byrd gota close look at the dominating play from Ethan. "He just doesn't miss," Byrd said. "We are getting a hand in his face, but it's not good enough. Obviously we need to do abetterjob ofgetting out there before he has time to set up. But he has a great shot and it's hard to defend a shooter like him." Watson has seen Ethan McLaurin grow during his three years on the varsity

15th point of the first half.

"We just wanted to play hard and out work them," Ethan McLaurin said. "Obviously that showed. We also wanted to move off the ball and we really wanted to emphasize that." Summerville led 38-29 at halftime. The first time Summerville and Calaveras met was in the final round of the Rivteam, and he thinks Ethan is now starting to become erbank Tournament in Dethe player he always knew cember.

But Land hit a deep 3 to keep the Redskins hopes alive. Land fi nished the night with a team-high 18 points. "He's a great player and I' ve been playing against him for a while now," Anderson said of Land. "All day I had him in my mind and I just had to play good defense against him." But that was the last shot Calaveras would make in the quarter,and Summerville ended the third quarter on a 6-0 run to bring the score to 52-38. "We were flat and we just didn't work hard," said Calaveras interim head coach Dale Clifton. "And they were busting their tails. Summerville did an excellent job of playing hard." Calaveras (11-4, 1-1 MLL) cut the Summerville lead to 10, but that was as close as it would get. Eli McLaurin scored seven fourth quarter points and Ethan scored nine. "I think our guys do a lot better if I leave them alone and don't have a practice with them. If I h a d l ess practices, we'd p r obably be a betterteam," Watson laughed. "I'm always worried about Monday games. It always worries me coming off the weekend and to come in with no practice. But we have a mature group of seniors.

We just have to get better for Linden on W ednesday. We are notplaying well right now, so we need a good practice so we can get things going again." For Summerville, Watson hopes that his team continues to not let the wins change the way they play. He also hopes that the other teams in the MLL don't take notice of the way the Bears are playing. "I'mready to fl y underthe radar all the way to the end," Watson said. "The fact of the matter is we know how good

the league is. Winning a couple of games is great, but there is no reason why the team we played tonight isn' t going to come back and beat us the next time we play. So, that's our attitude. The kids play hard and they live for the moment and that's all we can do. If we start looking ahead, that will be the end of us."

NFL ownersset for another round of lA relocation talks

certain

(AP) — NFL owners wiH try agalil to settle tlie issue

ofrelocation to LosAngeles, this time knowing that Commissioner Roger Goodell has d~ the stadiums inadequate in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego. Two days of meetings in Houston start Tuesday, six weeks after owners delayed a vote because they wanted more information on possible moves involving the Raiders, Rams and Chargers. Any move would involve one or two teams.

The latest development was Goodell's report last week to all 32 teams that says the existing stadiums are "inadequate and unsatisfactory," and that the proposals the Raiders, Rams and Chargers received to remain in their current cities lacked certainty. The report is required in the relocation process.

ding war — for more money, more power, or a combination ofboth. That's true leverage, and if Jackson is exerling it, we might see York and Baalke bending more than usual. Back in January 2011, the previous 49ers coaching hire, they went after a coach with tons of leverage — Jim Harbaugh had just won the Orange Bowl with Stanford and had multiple NFL and college teams lining up for his services. York and Baalke thought they had Harbaugh signed and sealed after their first meeting, but instead of signing and sealing, Harbaugh decided to talk to the Miami Dolphins and also to Stanford about an extension. The 49ers waited it out, sweetened Harbaugh's ofFer when he called them back after a day or so, and it turned out all rightforseveralyears. In fact ,one ofthecandidates the 49ers interviewed while they waited for Harbaugh in 2011 was ... Hue Jackson. If the 49ers don't land Jackson on Monday, expect a brief pause in the search on Tues-

day and Wednesday while Jed and John York attend the NFL meetings to vote on the Los Angeles situation. And if Jackson bypasses the 49ers, expect them to open the processup to defensive-minded guys, possibly including defensive coordinators like incumbent Eric Mangini, Chicago's Vic Fangio (Harbaugh's top 49ers lieutenant), New England's Matt Patricia and Carolina's Sean McDermott. But now, it's the wait-andsee stage with Jackson, after he emerged as the 49ers' dear favorite. York and Baalke got themselves into this, and now they have to see it out to the finish.

In 2011, the Harbaugh anxiety and eventual hiring was a sign that the next few years

would be successful ... and also full of drama. In 2016, some drama involving the chase for Hue Jackson could foreshadow similar things — Jackson will be a h andful for any op t ion , but he's also worth a lot of the headache. If you get him, that is.

Cardinals prepare for a tougher rematch with Packers

Hall of Famecoach Brown back for SMU

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals will meet a familiar foe in the NFC divisional playoffs on Saturday night. But they won't expect a one-sided affair over the Green Bay Packers like the previous time they met.

DALLAS (AP) — Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown was back on the court Monday, directing No. 10 SMU's practice a day after missing the second half of a game for the undefeated Mustangs. Brown wasn't feeling well all day Sunday. He coached the first half of an 88-73 victory over UCF, but didn'treturn after thatbecausehe feltdizzy. During the t w o-hour practice, Brown was actively involved, shouting and pointing out things to his players. The practice came after the Mustangs (15-0) moved up five spots in the new AssociatedPress Top 25 poll earlier Monday, getting into the top 10 for the first time since February 1985.

C4 — Tuesday, January 12, 2016

TITLE Continued from PageCl the last 5 yards to the pylon. Watson threw his third touchdown pass to make it 38-33 with 4:40 left, and then Alabama went back to its workhorse Heisman Trophy winner. Derrick Henry plunged into the end zone for his third touchdown of the game to make it 45-33 with 1:07 left. Watson threw another touchdown

pass, but would not get another chance. Clemson's onside kick went out of bounds. Coker took a knee and after a two-year drought that felt like eternity in Tuscaloosa, Alabama was back on top. The Crimson Tide became the second team in college football's poll era, dating back to 1936, to win four titles in seven seasons.

Watson gave the Tide all it could handle,throwing for 405 yards and four touchdowns, and conjuring up memories of Vince Young's miraculous performance for Texas in the 2006 Rose Bowl that derailed Southern California's dynasty. The sophomore, who finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, had 478 total yards against a loaded Tide defense that was the toughest in the country and bested Young's 467 yards against the Trojans. Instead, Saban and the Tide raised another trophy, its first in this new playoff system, and got another confetti shower. It is the Tide's 10th national title in the poll era, more than any other school. The Tide hit Clemson early with Henry, who scored the game's first touchdown on a 5 0 -yard burst through the middle. He finished with 158 yards on 36 carries. Howard was the offensive player of the game with five catches for 208 yards, including a 63-yarder that set up Alabama's final

down passes to give Clemson a 14-7 lead at the end of the first quarter, Henry tied it up with a 1-yard plunge. Back and forth it went. Throughout Alabama's unprecedented run under Saban, the Tide was hardly challenged in a championship game. Alabama pulled away &om Texas for Saban's first Tide title. Alabama blankedLSU forNo. 2 and crushed Notre Dame to repeat. Trying to become the first FBS team to go 15-0, Clemson did not crumble under the force of Alabama's might. But all those five-star recruits and future NFL players that dot the Alabama roster showed they also have plenty of resiliency and toughness. And Saban showed he had a little riverboat gambler in him. That onside kicked stunned the stadium and Clemson, and brought a big grin to the face of the country' s

"I knew I had him when I tilted him and took him down." "I think that might be the best match he's wrestled all season long," Bowe said of Baza.

wonder the normally stone-faced Nick Saban was smiling. The Alabama coach took one of the biggestgambles ofhis career in the fourth quarter of Monday night' s national championship game against Clemson. And it paid off. He called an onside kick just after Adam Griffith's tying field goal in a pivotal moment of the Crimson Tide's 45-40 win over Clemson. Marion Humphrey recovered and two plays later Jake Coker hit tight end O.J. Howard for a 51-yard touchdowil.

TV cameras captured a kind of satisfiei, I-got-you grin &om Saban on the sideline that doesn't oAen surface publicly. And why not? The five-time national champion coach who insisted a coupleof days earlier that he's "a very happy person" probably deserved a moment of back-patting after that one. Because it worked. Boy, did it. Clemson's dynamic quarterback, Deshaun Watson, made sure that didn't end the game even after yet another huge special teams play by

Alabama. Kenyan Drake, who's endured abroken arm and leg in his inal two seasons,raced 95 yards for f a touchdown on a kick return that gavetheTide 17pointsin justovera three-minute span. Saban's gamble kept the ball out ofthehands ofW atson for a bitafter he bedeviled the nation's top defense both passing and rushing. With the Tigers also buckling down against Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry late in the game, the gamble came at just the right time. It caught Clemson and everyone else by surprise. Onside kick? In a tie game? With a national title on the line? The $7 million-a-year coach is crazy like a fox. It's far from the first time Saban has pulled out a timely trick. It's just not what he's known for in a career that now includes four national titles in seven seasons and a fifth at LSU. His reputation's built more on re-

cruiting, intense preparation and teams sporting punishing running games andeven more dominant defenses.
