The hillsides of Mountain Ranch are green, lush with grassy vegetation that masks some ofthe destruction that took place months ago, but the damage remains emotionally. Some residents said they find it difficult to process and think clearly four months after the Butte Fire. Bill Schmiett, who lost his home off of East Murray Creek and has been living in a 550-square-foot bungalow said he has days, every now and again, where he has 10 things to do but accomplishes one. "I feel like I' ve knocked it out of the park," said Schmiett. "Some days." Schmiett, a Realtor and owner of Mountain Ranch Realty, said therealestate industry has been strange since the fire.

With all the snow in the mountains this winter, Mother Lode business owners are upset that the Forest Service is still scrutinizing snowmobile rules. "Thisisprobably one of our best years, in terms of business, with people coming up, they' re just flocking here," said Lynn Yturiaga, owner of Cold Springs Market on Highway 108, who sellsparking passes for Sno-Park east of Strawberry. 'Vile haven't seen snow like this in so long," Yturiaga said. He's been in Cold Springs 19 years, and he used to ride snowmobiles himself. "I dealwith a lot of these folks. You can ride up to Sonora Pass in the winter, and it's a completely different environment. It's so quiet," he

Closed schoolcampus may be new homefor TH church PUBLIC MEETING: Twain Harte School District BoardofTrustees,4 p.m .Wednesday, Board Room No. 20, Twain Harte School, 1881 5 Manzanita Drive, Twain Haite. By SEAN CARSON The Union Democrat

Twain Harte Bible Church hopes a former Twain Harte School District campus will give the expanding congregation more space aRer four decades in the same building. Parking lots, pews, nursery schools and sanctuaries are overflowing each Sunday at the church'sthree-building facility at 23191 Mark Twain Drive, according to Pastor Matt Funk. The church has been in negotiation to purchase the Black Oak Elementary School site property, owned by the Twain Harte School District, for months, and the Board of Trustees Wednesday will discuss how to proceed. The 16.61-acreschool site is listed at $950,000 and would give the church's more than 200 members ample room to break out of the 6,760-square-foot sanctuary, Funk said. "The intention would be to move our operations and have significant room to breathe and grow as God directs," Funk said. The church has put up for sale the sanctuary and office buildings and will list an additional residential property nearby once the school site purchase is final, Funk said. Established in 1967 as part of the Evangelical Free Church of America, the fellowship has always used the current location. "Which makes the potential to moving a groupthat' sbeen ata certain placesolongdifficult," Funk said. Today, the church offers regular Sunday worshipservices,Sunday school classesforall

ages, and weekday Bible studies, group counseling, and other classes, Funk said. When asked how confident he is the sale will go throw, Funk said, 'You' re asking me questions only God can answer. If that's owning the Black Oak School, then I have great confidence. If not, then I have confidence in that." The board's discussion Wednesday will primarily deal with providing the church a month extension on a contract to purchase the property, said Board Member Ronda Bailey. Bailey, a Realtor, said she is advising the board how to handle the matter. Superintendent Jeff Winfield was unavailable to comment Monday, but in December said the district wants to close the sale by the endof this schoolyear,after two years of searching for a buyer, Winfield said. The Black Oak campus was built in 1996 when district enrollment boomed to over 800 students, but closed in 2008 as the number of students dropped below half that. The board will also revisit the sale of the Pinecrest Elementary School site at 30433 Old Strawberry Road, another campus closed by low enrollment, after broaching the ongoing topic in December. 'The hope has always been that we hold on to it," Bailey said. "But with enrollment the way it is, we just can't afford it." Should the school be made operational again it would cost the district hundreds of thousands in deficit spending, and just to maintain the empty site today is around $4,000 in maintenance, Tonya Midget, chief business official, said. No conclusions were drawn from the December discussion, Bailey said, and the board has again listed the agenda item as an "information only" discussion.

Junior college degrees lifting CA's education

Every forecast of California's future insists this statewillneed far more college-educated workers than now live here if it's to avert losing out when established businesses expand and seek places with qualified potential employees. T his is t r u e in almost every field, from film-

iRKL

moves the state has made in decades. Started in

2011, this plan lets community college students earn a new kind of degree that helps them move easily and almost seamlessly to California State University

campuses.

Almost all the state's two-year schools now offer the new Associate in Arts Degree for Transfer and Associate in Science Degree for Transfer, huge progress since the plan began with an unheralded signature from ex-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in September 2010. The program was sponsored in the Legislature by Democrat Alex Padilla, then a state senator, now Cal-

iforniasecretary ofstate.Itguarantees that anyone who obtains either of the new two-year degrees will get a spot at a CSU campus and that credits earned in community college will count at the four-year school. Unlike many laws that pass and then move into obscurity, this one bears more fruit every year. In 2015, the number of community college students pursuing the new degrees almost doubled, with 20,644 students getting transfer diplomas, compared with 11,448 the year before. For students who get these degrees, there's not only a four-year university slot, but also the assurance they cannot be saddled with additional graduation requirements after they enroll at the next level. So students can see exactly what they' ll need to do to complete the entire process in four years. It's much more organized than the often-jumbled transfer process still followed by other tens of thousands of would-be community college transfers.

New degrees are available in more than 1,900 subjects, but not every community college offers them all. Full details of which degrees can be earned where are available at www.adegreewithaguarantee.corn/ Degrees.aspx. But even the smallest two-year colleges offer transfer-enabling degrees in subjects from kinesiology and accounting to early childhood education, statistics and theater arts. The new degrees also can lower costs of getting a full-Hedged university degree, since they let students graduate with a total of 120 semester units if they continue from a community college degree program to a similar one at the next level. More traditional transfer students, without the guaranteed Cal State acceptance of all or virtually all their credits from community college, often must take as many as 40

to 50 additional units after enrolling at a four-year school. This can happen when graduation requirements change or because some classes at two-yearschools are not counted. The proud supervisor of this new opportunity is Brice Harris, statewide chancellor of California Community Colleges. As he announced the huge increase in students getting the innovative degrees, Harris said they create "an affordable path to a four-year degree, without compromising the quality of education."He also touted the new degrees'ability to save both time and money, which he labeled a "win-win for both students and the state of California." In fact, the more students get four-year degrees, the less likely California is to continue suffering an exodus of expanding companies, many moving to places like Austin, Tex. and the Raleigh, N.C., area because oftheir surfeitofavailable,educated work-

Don't thank Pres. Obama for cheap oil The big fall-off-your-chair moment during P r esident Obama's State of the Union address came when he proclaimed: "We' ve cut our importsof foreign oilby nearly 60 percent and cut carbon findways to make gas more

country on Earth. Gas under two bucks a gallon ain't bad, either." Sure, Mr. President. Take a bow for the smashing success of the very domestic oil and gas industry that you have tried to destroy. Even Obama couldn't carry this off The smirk on his face as he sang the praises of the oil and gas industry was unmistakable. Right after Obama boasted of theselow gas prices,he reverted back to form, by sermonizing: ''We've got to accelerate the transition away from dirty energy" — by which he means fossil fuels. Then the hammer came down: "I'm going to push to change the way we man-

The irony of the Obama war against fossil fuels is that the shale oil and gas revolution in America has saved Obama.

Point andcounterpoint To the Editor: Saturday's edition, featuring columns from Laura Hollis and Kathleen Parker, provided the perfect counterpoint: a rambling, toxically partisan screed (Hollis' "Dangerous politics of poverty worship") and thoughtful, forward-looking analysis (Parker's "Haley's righteous GOP gamble"). Hollis' piece, emblematic of the extremistrhetoricthathas nearly destroyed the GOP since the rise of Rush Limbaugh, was juxtaposed against Parker's elegantly composed argument against just such counterproductive hate speech.

costs at a time when oil prices are low, and margins are already thin. This means layoffs of workers." Obama seems to be doing exactly what the Saudi oil sheiks are trying to do: shutting down &acking in America. Obama won't allow drilling on federal lands. He wants to raise taxes on oil and gas production. He won't give the go-ahead to the Keystone XL pipeline, or any pipelines for that matter, and he just handed out hundreds of millions of dollarsto keep the solar and wind industries &om bankruptcy. Other than that, he' s pro-oil and pro-gas. He also neglected to mention that the major reason that U.S. carbon emissions are falling is that cheap and clean-burning natural gas, due to shale drilling, is becoming the No. 1 sourceofelectricity production in America. The lesson: Free markets and innovation are almost always the best way to clean the environment.

If Obama's vision of an American energy future is fulfilled, the price of oil and gas will skyrocket — again. He' d like that to happen. This is the only possible scenario that

makes green energy financially feasible. One last point about low gas prices. How come when oil prices rise, the entire industry is accused ofprice fi xing to gouge consumers? But if the industry has the monopolistic powers to keep prices as high as possible, why aren't they doing that now? The answer is in the new era of shale oil and gas this a brutally price-competitive industry — unlike in the past, where the OPEC monopoly was able to fix prices. OPEC can't manipulate prices now, because the U.S. will soon be theworld'slargestproducer. All the more reason to let the

domestic oil and gas industry flourish. For now,Obama, unbelievably, will hog the credit for lower gas prices that he never wanted in the first place, while he finds every way possible to make gas more expensive in the years to come. No wonder voters have grown so cynical of the political class. Stephen Mooreis a visiting

But most community college students remain unaware of the new degrees. Most who get the degrees learn of them from guidance counselors, but many, many community college students with outside jobs don't feel they have time to visit counselors. One 23-year-old student at College of the Desert in Palm Desert said, "Before, I was taking just random classes. I didn't want to see a counselor. But it's turned out that one visit will probably save me months later on. Now, I can actually say I'm shooting for my B.A., not just looking for an associate degree." The bottom line: If we' re going to rip failed or questionable government programs from high speed rail to highway repairs, we also ought to recognize those that work, like this one.

rally shifts its focus COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — For the first time in 17 years, civil rights leaders gathered Monday atthe South Carolina Statehouse to pay homage to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. without the Confederate flag casting a long shadow over them. The banner was taken down over th e

after police said a young w hite man w h o h a d posed for photos with a rebel flag shot nine black church members to death during a Bible study in C harleston. After t h e massacre at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Republican Gov. Nikki Haley reversed course and made it a pri-

It's so nice to be standing here and not looking at that flag," said Ezell Pittman, who attended most of the King Day anti-flag rallies since they started in 2000. "I always had faith it would come down. I hate it took what it did, but was real happy to see it go." Across the country, the 30th anniversaryof the holiday to honor the civil rightsleader assassinated in 1968 was remembered in different ways. In Michigan, people delivered bottled water to residents of Flint amid the city' s drinking w ater c r i sis.

Eagles co-founder Frey dies at age 67 NEW YORK (AP) Glenn Frey, a rock 'n' roll rebel from Detroit who journeyed West, co-founded the Eagles and with Don Henley became one of history's most successful songwriting teams with such hits as "Hotel California" and "Life in the Fast Lane," has died. Frey,67, died of complications from rheumatoid arthritis,acute ulcerative

colitis and pneumonia, the band said on its website. He died on Monday in New York. "The Freyfamily would like to thank everyone who joined Glenn to fight this fight and hoped and prayed for his recovery," a statement on the band's website said. Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our

loveand respect for allthat he has given to us, his family, the music community & millions of fans worldwide." Guitarist Frey and drummer Henley formed the Eagles in Los Angeles in the early 1970s, along with guitarist Bernie Leadon and bassist Randy Meisner. Their popularity grew through much of thedecade,and they embodied for many listeners the melodic Los Angeles sound despite having no native Califor-

nians in the group. Critics often dismissed them as slick and unadventurous, but their blend of mellow ballads and macho rockers, and of pop and folk and country, gave them unusually broad appeal. An Eagles greatest-hits collection from the mid1970s and "Hotel California," released in 1976, both have sold more than 20 million copies and are among the best-selling albums of modern times. Their many hit singles included "The Best of My Love," "Desperado," "One of These Nights" and "The Long Run," a propheticboast from 1979 that they would "go the distance" in the long run." The impulsive Frey and more cerebral Henley shared songwriting and singing duties, with Frey's drawling tenor featured on "Heartache Tonight," "Already Gone" and the group's breakthrough hit, "Take it Easy." Their popularity w ell outlasted their breakup in 1980 and the 14-year hiatus that followed. Their records remained consistent sellers, and they were a top touring act over the last 20 years even though Frey and Henley were the only remaining original members.

The amount of vacant lots to be available can be an indication of the intent for many property owners within the burn zone to sell and move on. But it does not mean most people are going to, or have elected to, sell their lot and move.

Environmental activists say snowmobiles make noise and pollute, and they challenged the Forest Service in court in 2011. The legal action has forced the Forest Service to conduct a National Environmental Policy Act analysis of snowmobile trails in the Stanislaus, Eldorado, Tahoe, Plumas and Lassen national forests. Restrict ing or changing access for people on snowmobiles and snowcats, which is part of the plan being considered by the Forest Service, would impact the Highway 108 corridor economy, including businesses like real estate, Yturiaga said. "One of the Realtors I know is looking at losing deals on at least three properties if they shut it down," Yturiaga said. "If people can't come up here in the winter and snowmobile, they will go somewhere else. That' s what they come for." Rourke Hembree, of Sierra Village, rides snowmobiles, does snowmobile repairs, and has a statecontract for snowmobile trail groomingfrom Sno-Park to Kennedy Meadows, and Eagle Meadow Road to Eagle Creek. Hembree estimates that's more than 50 miles of grooming. It takes him 10 hours minimum, and he does most of it at night. eWe finally got winter, this is what it's all about. Haven't seen it like this since 2011," Hembree said. "The environmentalists that brought the suit against the forests, they

Settlement

The Forest Service agreed to a settlement with the plainti6's in August 2013 that requires NEPA analyses of snowmobile trails and plowing of related parking lots and trailheads. The agreement also states the Forest Service will "consider a range of alternative actions that would result in varying levels of snowmobile use." Alternative actions and changes in snowmobile access are what anger snowmobilers like Hembree. "Sure there will probably always be snowmobiling allowed on Highway 108, but it won't be like it has been," Hembree said. 'They want to limit where we ride to the point it won't be worth the trouble to get out there. People won't come up if all they can do is ride back and forth on a road." The last time snow vehicle use policies in the Stanislaus National Forest were updated was back in 1991, Rebecca Garcia of the Stanislaus forest said. A travel management don't care about us and our businesses. Just rule adopted in 2012 addressed the litigation think how restricting access could affect my against five forests and required the Forest life and my livelihood if the environmental Service to do the over-snow-use analysis. groups get their way."

Public input sought

Actlvisls

The Forest Service evaluation of snow-vehicle-use policies began last year with public workshops and dry documents, and that process is continuing this year. The next steps include two public workshops hosted by the Stanislaus National Forest — 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Jan. 25 and Feb. 18 at the Best Western Plus, Sonora Oaks Hotel and Conference Center in East Sonora. Forest Service officials said the workshops are an opportunity for the exchange of ideas between all interested parties. Asked to explain what proposed changes the Stanislaus National Forest is considering, Garcia said, 'They are rearranging where people can travel on snowmobiles, and they' re looking at local areas that make sense. "Something else they' re looking at is snow Snowmobiles also "create confiicts with depths and how many inches of snow there non-motorized winter recreation users of needs to be in order for there to be over-snow these same areas, including cross-country vehicles in given areas," Garcia said.

Locals like Yturiaga and Hembree are on the defensive because of out-of-county groups called Snowlands Network, Winter Wildlands Alliance and the Center for Biological Diversity. The environmentalists challenged the Forest Service in a complaint filed in November 2011, alleging unlawful practice for implementing an Over Snow Vehicle Program without performing necessary NEPA review of the program's environmental impacts. In their initial complaint against the Forest Service, the groups claim snowmobiles "emit substantial amounts of air pollution, impact water quality, create high levels of noise, harm vegetation and adversely impact wildlife."

several buildings and facilities

in Yosemite will be renamed

to eliminate "potential trademark infringement issues" with the park's current concessioner, DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite, Inc., a subsidiary of Delaware North. A new concessioner, Aramark, is set to take over serving Yosemite visitors in March. New landmark names announced by the Park Service include The Ahwahnee changing to The Majestic Yosemite Hotel, Curry Village to Half Dome Village, Yosemite Lodge at the Falls to Yosemite Valley Lodge, the Wawona Hotel to Big Trees Lodge, and Badger Pass Ski Area to Yosemite Ski & Snowboard Area.

Nevertheless, the dispute has since gained widespread attention on social media, with several online petitions created in the past few days calling for Delaware North to drop its claims and restore the trademarks to the public.

Monday that they regretted if the dispute has distracted from the mission of preserving and

maintaining national parks for futuregenerations. "We hope the National Park Service will reconsider its decision to charge the names of historic landmarks, and will take our DQer to continue to use

Way back in the 1600s, French foodies began using a "casse."

This deep, round pot was the origin of the word casserole— a style of cooking we 21st century cooks can' t

Holi a sawkwar withol erhal- rother DEAR ANNIE: My half-brother and his wife are old enough to be my parents. He is quite well-to-do and so are his children. I am only six years older than his oldest child and have always felt more like one of his kids than his sister, especially after my parents died. However, I am never invited to spend holidays with them. I was widowed 25 years ago, and one of my children has since passed away. My brother and sister-in-law have gifted me $300 eachyear on my birthday, and although it would give me great pleasureto reciprocate,they rarely allow me to do so. Last month, they discouraged me from giving them gifts for Christmas, which I understand. They are trying to pare down their belongings. Last year, I saved up and gave them a $100 gift card. I thought I'd hit on the perfect present. But this year, my sister-in-law said bluntly, "Don' t be coming in here with presents like

Annie's Mailbox last year. Save your gift cards for your daughter. The money we give you is for you — not to be returned to us." After that call, I spiraled into a depressionthat lasted for days,and the holiday was ruined. All this one-sided gift-giving makes me feel like a charity case. I always accept the money and send an immediate thank-you

note, and I will continue to do so. But other than my daughter, they are the only family I have. Their kids and I do not communicate. Is there any way to

fix this? —BAH HUMBUG DEAR HUMBUG: You are interpreting your brother's attitude in the worst possible light. So, let's put it in a more positive one: Your brotherand his wife know that you are struggling and they

are not. They feel terrible when you spend your money on them. They are tryingto be kind and thoughtful. They don't realize that you find this demeaning. The age d i fference makes a r elationship difficult a n d awkward, but you both seem to want to stay in contact, so here's our advice for gift-giving. Do not givecash or gift cards. Instead,bake cookies or create a homemade holidayornament. Write them a letter expressing how important they are to yon, how much you hope toremain close, and that being able to reciprocate fortheir kindness brings you joy. That will mean more tothem than any present. DEAR ANNIE: You' ve printed a few letters in response to the one from "W," who said her neighbor is overly sensitive to noise. This neighbor may have a mental health issue. My ex-husband, who suffers from

a fairly severe mental illness, often complained of excessive noise from our neighbor's adjoining townhouse, even though the sound would be perfectly fine to anyone else. He would call the police about it whenever he wasn't taking his anti-psychotic medication. Itcaused allsortsofproblems. "W." might consider speaking to the neighbor's son about her mental health. — T. DEAR T.: There are all kinds of reasons for noise sensitivity, and certainly mental health can play a role. Thank yon for mentioning this possibility. Annie's Mailbox i s

Reaovery tom foot dip sometimes attainable DEAR DR. ROACH: I a m a 64-year-old woman. I have been an avid exerciser and runner since 1980. I am in excellent health and take no medications,except for a low-dose rheumatoid arthritis medication,methotrexate.

Over a monthago,I developed a throbbing pain that radiated down the left side of my leg, the top of my foot and my big toe. The left side of my leg was numb down to my big toe. Then I noticed the foot drop. An MRI and X-ray showed that my back is in excellent shape, and a rehab doctor said the pain is not back-related. The pain continued for weeks. I could not sleep. Finally, doctors determined that it

problem. I was put on painkillers so I can sleep. I am now scheduled for a nerve study with a neurologist. What will this study do for my "foot drop"? Running is not only exercise for me, but a social thing. The training and racing with friends is a big part of my life. I continue to walk, weight-train and stretch. Not having control over

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. this situation is trying and frustrating. In your experience has anyone overcome "foot drop"? — D.F. ANSWER: Foot drop is caused by damage toa nerve.Thisdamage can occur at many sites, including the back, which is why the MRI was important to get. The area of numbness you describe and the foot drop itself suggest that the peroneal nerve is being compressed, which most commonly happens where the nerve wraps around the fibula, the smaller of the two leg bones. If that is the case — which can be supported by the nerve studies (electromyography, or EMG, and nerve conduction velocity) — then your doctor will recom-

mend ways to reduce pressure on the nerve and likely will recommend a splint to keep the foot from dropping. The prognosis depends on how much weakness you have. If there is no muscle activity at all, it is unlike-

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Jan. 19, the 19th day of 2016. There are 347 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Jan. 19, 1966, Indira Gandhi was chosen to be prime minister of India by the National Congress party. (Gandhi, a powerful as well as polarizing figure, served as India's prime minister from 1966 to 1977, and again beginning in 1980 until she was assassinated in 1984.) On this date: In 1915, Germany carried out its first air raid on Britain during World War I as a pair of Zeppelins dropped bombs onto Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn in England. In 1937, millionaire Howard Hughes set a transcontinental air record by flying his monoplane from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey, in 7 hours, 28 minutes and 25 seconds. In 1942, during World War II, Japan invaded Burma (Myanmar). In 1970, President Richard M. Nixon nominated G. Harrold Carswell to the Supreme Court; however, the nomination was defeated because of controversy over Carswell's past racial views. In 1977, in one of his last acts of office, President Gerald R. Ford pardoned Iva Toguri D'Aquino, an American convicted of treason for making wartime broadcasts for Japan. In 1981, the United States and Iran signed an accord paving the way for the release of 52 Americans held hostage for more than 14 months. In 1992, German government and Jewish officials dedicated a Holocaust memorial at the villa on the outskirts of Berlin where the notorious Wannsee Conference had taken place.

BRIDGE Bidding influences the opening lead By PHILLIP ALDER

North 01-19 - 15 4 AK Q 6 5 2 V K9 0 KQ 10 7 43 East 4 J7 % 653 2 I A 63 49875 South

Ann Landers said, "Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual + Q 10» confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human + (l weaknesses." A good bridge partnership is like that. In this V AJ 4 deal, East had to be understanding of her partner's 0 J4 losing opening lead. Look at the West hand. What did she lead against six clubs after the given O AK J 10 6 4 2 sequence? Dealer: South The first two rounds of the bidding were fine. Vulnerable: Neither But over three diamonds, South should have bid S outh W e s t No r t h Ea s t three no-trump to show her heart stoppers. 14 Pass 14 Pass If South had done that, North would have had 34 Pass 3t Pass an unenviable decision. Probably he would have 54 Pass 64 All Pa s s insisted on a slam contract one way or another, but might have only invited with four no-trump; Opening lead: ?? though that would have been cautious, despite the singleton club. At the table, when South jumped a second time in clubs, North raised to six clubs. From the auction, it sounded as if South did not have a heart control, because she had not bid three no-trump. So, understandably, West led the heart seven. Declarer won with her jack and planned to draw two rounds of trumps, then try to discard her diamond losers on dummy's top spades. When the club queen obligingly dropped under the ace, South claimed 13 tricks: seven clubs, three hearts and three spades. If West had led a diamond, declarer would have had to avoid a trump loser. The percentage play is a first-round finesse, which would have been fatal here.

not too rough out on the pacific side of Cabo, where the boat was anchored. Two hours into the excur-

sion, Carrigan, who was using a 50-pound test fishing line, got a bite unlike anything he had ever experienced. He knew he had hooked something big, yet his mind went directly to the most dangerous fish in the sea. "At first, we thought it was a shark," Carrigan said. But Capt. Ramon knew right away that Carrigan had landed a marlin, though he was unsure if it was blue or black. Within minutes, Carrigan knew that he was in for the fishing battle of his life. "I fought this fish for 45

With the defeated fish floating atop the waves, the four men on the boat pulled it to the back of the vessel, and that is when they discovered it was a black marlin. The conquered marlin was tied to the back of the boat, and nearby fishermen came dose

to admire the mighty catch. "It was a mind blowing exsoaking wet," Carrigan said. "I had it up and down three or perience," Carrigan said.

''When we docked, we were like rock stars," Carrigan said. "There were over 100 people there and they were taking pictures. People are giving us pats on the back and bought us a couple of beers." The official size of the fish was 10 feet, 10 inches and 330 pounds. In October, the Bisbee's Fishing Tournament was held in Cabo San Lucas. Tony Talamantes had the largest catch, which was 295 pounds. Talamantes walked away with copious amounts of cash as a result of his catch. However, Carrigan walked away with a story of a lifetime. "I wouldn't have gone down there and payed $5,000 for an entry fee," Carrigan said. "This was just a fun trip." The only question that Carrigan had to answer was what was he going to do with his trophy catch? "I gave the meat to the captain because I have no reason to bring200 pounds ofm arlin home," laughed Carrigan. Though Carrigan donated the meat to the captain, the body of his black marlin will be making the trip north to Sonora within the next three months. Carrigan sent the body to a taxidermist, and

Silver a n d Pi s t ons owner Tom Gores were in Detroiton Monday, when the team announced plans for a partnershipat the SA.Y. Detroit Play Center at Lipke Park, which supports youth in the Osborn community area. Silver was asked where the NBA stands on the possibility of the Pistons moving from

Auburn Hills to downtown Detroit. "The league doesn' t have a position on that. In fact, it's one ofthe reasons I'm here today, is to talk more to Tom Gores about the discussions he' s been having," Silver said. ''Ultimately, that's a decision for ownership of this team, but to me, I need to

BRIEFs Tigers reach 6-year deal with Upton

Tom Brady to play in 10th AFC title game

DETROIT (AP) — A person with knowledge of the dealsays the Detroit Tigers have agreed to a $132.75 million, six-year contract with free-agent outfielder Justin Upton. The person spoke Monday night on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced. The deal is pending a physical, and Upton can opt out after two seasons. The 28-year-old Upton gives the Tigers another powerful bat in the middle of the lineup and fills a need in the outfield after Detroit t r aded slugger Yoenis Cespedes at the deadline last year. Upton hit .251 with 26 home runs and 81 RBIs for the San Diego Padres last season. It was another big move for the Tigers, who are coming off a lastplace finish in 2015 but signed right-handerJordan Zimmermann earlier this ofF-

JIMMY GOLEN, The Associated Press

As a 24-year-old in 2001, his second NFL season, Tom Brady stepped in when Drew Bledsoe was injured and led the New England Patriots into the playoffs. When he arrived in Pittsburgh to play the Steelers in the AFC championship game, Brady couldn't believe he was there. "Fifteen years later, to be a partof10 ofthose,Inever imagined that any of this was even possible," Brady said on Monday. "You never take it for granted." A sixth-round draft pick who spent his rookie year as the No. 4 quarterback on the Patriots' depth chart, Brady has grown into a four-time NFL champion and a threetime Super Bowl MVP. On Sunday, he will play in the AFC championship game for the fifth time in a row and the 10th time in his career, extending what was already an NFL record.

don said. "Signing an extension was pretty much a nobrainer." The Marlins described the agreement the same way. "I'm thrilled to be affirming our long-term commitment to Dee Gordon, not only one of the most dynamic players in baseball, but also an outstanding young man," owner Jeffrey Loria said in a statement. "It' s truly incredible and historic

league pitcher thanks to a succession of one-year contracts. "This is a wonderful moment for me," said the elder Gordon, a three-time All-Star. "As a parent, you want your kid to do so much better than you ever did." Dee Gordon, 27,didn'tplay baseball until 11th grade, and didn't become serious about the sport until three or four years ago, Tom Gordon said. "He hasn't honed in on all

of his skill set yet," the elder Gordon said. "My son is still fiveyears away from understanding what his abilities actually are." M arlins president ofbaseball operations Michael Hill agreed Gordon has room to improve — a staggering thought. "That's what is amazing about who he is," Hill said. "He is still figuring things out. Yes, he has game-changing speed and is a difference-maker offensively and defensively, but his game is evolving." Gordon avoided salary arbitration with his deal, which includes a $14 million club

Rangers finalize 6M, 1-year deal with pitcher Colby Lewis ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Colby Lewis was never concerned about his surgically repaired right knee. The veteran right-hander finalized a $6 million, one-year contract to stay with the Texas Rangers on Monday, a month aiter the sides agreed to terms. The deal had been pending a physical that Lewis passed. Even after tearing meniscus in his knee in May, Lewis set career highs and led the Rangers with 17 wins and 204 2-3 innings last season. The 36-year-old pitcher has won 27 games over the past two seasons since a hip resurfacing procedure that was unprecedented for a major league pitcher.

Lewis said Monday the only thing affected by the knee injury was his conditioning, but it didn' t have much of an impact on the mound. He had surgery in October, two days after the Rangers lost Game 5 of the AL Division Series against Toronto. "I didn't think about it. In the heat of battle, I don't let things get to me. I grind through it," Lewis said. "I didn't want to go on the shelf because the team needed me." Lewis is 71-67 with a 4.81 ERA over 10 major league seasons, eight with the Rangers. He expects to be ready for spring training and the startoftheregular season. ''We know the man, what he is about and what he is going to do

to getready,"general manager Jon Daniels said. "It is easy to look at the physical stuff and have concerns but . obviously Colby is a huge competitor and has a huge heart. With Colby, time and time again, he has proven he' ll figure it out and be ready." Lewis was a first-round supplemental choice of the Rangers during the 1999 amateur draft and made his big league debut in 2002. He had right shoulder surgery in early2004 before sitting out all of 2005. He then pitched for Detroit and Oakland and spent two years in Japan before returning to Texas in 2010and being part oftheRangers' only two World Series appearances.

After going 4-1 with a 2.34 ERA in eight postseason starts in 2010 and 2011, Lewis was hampered by injuries. He had surgery in July 2012 to repair a tom fiexor tendon in his right elbow. His comeback from that was thwarted by a troublesome hip that had bothered him for some time beforethe resurfacing procedure in

August 2013, which was just short of a full hip replacement.

Royals aomplete $17.5M, 2-year deal with outfielder Cain KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals finalized their $17.5 million, two-year deal with Lorenzo Cain on Monday, buying out the All-Star out-

fielder's final two years of arbitration. Cain will receive $6.5 million this season and $11 million next season. The 29-year-old Cain is coming off the best year of his six-year career, hitting .307 with 16 homers and 72 RBIs. He also was second in the American League with 28 stolen bases, and hebecame thefi rstRoyals playersince2011 toeclipse 100 runs scored. The result of that landed Cain third in voting for the AL MVP award.

Cain also started all 16 postseason games in center field, batting .258 with two doubles, a homer and 11 RBIs as the Royals won their first World Series championship since 1985.

Federer: It's time to name players suspected of match fixing MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Roger Federer has heard enough speculation about match-fixing in tennis. If playersare suspected of corruption, he wants names. Federer was responding to reports by BBC and BuzzFeed News published Monday that tennis authorities have s uppressed evidence o f match-fi xing and overlooked suspected cases involving players ranked in the top 50, including Grand Slam singles and doubles winners. The reports said that none of theseplayers had faced sanctions and more than half would be playing at this year's Australian Open, which started Monday. The players weren't identified by name. "I would love t o h ear names,"Federer said after beating Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia 6-2, 6-1, 6-2. "Then at least it's concrete stuff and

you can actually debate about it. Was it the player? Was it the support team? Who was it? Was itbefore? Was it a doubles player, a singles player? Which Slam?" "It's super serious and it' s super important to maintain the integrity of our sport," Federer added. "So how high up doesitgo?Thehigher itgoes, the more surprised I would be." ATP chairman Chris Kermode appeared at a news conferencetorejectthe assertion that match-fixing had gone unchecked in the sport, saying the Tennis Integrity Unit remained "constantly vigilant and not complacent" when it comes to tackling corruption. "The Tennis Integrity Unit and tennis authorities absolutely reject any suggestion that evidence of match-fixing has been suppressed for any reason or isn't being thoroughly investigated," he said.

The BBC and BuzzFeed allegations were based on files they reported had been leaked from insidethe sport" showing evidence of suspected match-fixing orchestrated by gambling syndicates in Russia and Italy that had been uncovered during an ATP investigation of a 2007 match in Sopot, Poland, involving suspiciously high levelsofbetting. According to the reports, the ATP investigation widened to uncover a network of other players suspected of match-fixing, but officials didn't follow up on the cases. Since then, the reports said, the ATP ha s r epeatedly been warned by bookmakers,foreign police and other investigators about many of the same players, but hasn' t taken any action against them. Kermode said the integrity unit had been formed in

2008 as a joint initiative of the International Tennis Federation, the ATP, the WTA and the Grand Slam Board to combat corruption in the wake of the Sopot investigation. He maintained that the unit investigates every report it receives and takes action only when it has enough evidenceto do so.Ithassince sanctioned 18 people for match-fixing, including five players and one official who received lifetime bans. "You can have lots of information,lots of anecdotal reports, butit's aboutgetting evidence that we can use," Kermode said. TIU chief Nigel Willerton declined to say whether any players at th e Australian Open were being monitored for suspected match-fixing. Many of those punished have been lower-ranked players on the second-tier Chal-

lenger tour. Two of the most higher-profile players — former top-50 players Daniele Bracciali and Potito Starace — were initially banned for lifebefore their suspensions were lifted by the Italian Tennis Federation last year. Top-ranked Novak Djokovic said he doubted the problem extended to the top level of thesport,and pointed to the enhanced monitoring systems put in place. ''We have, I think, a sport (that has) evolved and upgraded our programs and authorities to deal with these particular cases," he said. "There's no real proof or evidence yet of any active players (being involved in matchfixing), for that matter. As long as it's like that, it's just speculation." Djokovic did confirm, though, that members of his support team were approached about throwing a

match in Russia in 2007. "I was not a pproached directly. I was approached through people that were working with me at t h at time," he said. "Of course, we (rejected) it right away. It didn't even get to me — the guy that was trying to talk to me, he didn't even get to me directly. There was nothing out of it." Other q uestions w e re raised Monday about whether the sport was sending mixed messages by allowing the bookmaker William Hill to become one of the Australian Open's sponsors this year and advertise on stadium courts. "Honestly it's on a borderline, I would say," Djokovic said. Whether you want to have betting companies involved in the big tourna-
