2015 Earth's hottest by wide margin WASHINGTON (AP) — Last year wasn't just the Earth's hottest year on record — it left a century of high temperature marks in the dust. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration and NASA announced W ednesdaythat 2015 was by far the hottest yearin 136 yearsofrecord keeping. For the most part, scientists at the agencies and elsewhere blamed manmade global warming, with a boost &om El ¹no. NOAA said 2015's temperature was 58.62 degrees Fahrenheit (14.79 degrees Celsius), passing 2014 by a record

m argin of 0.29 degrees.That' s 1.62 degrees above the 20th-century average. NASA, which measures differently, said 2015 was 0.23 degrees warmer than the record set in 2014 and 1.6 degrees above 20th century average. Because of the wide margin over 2014, NASA calculated that 2015 was a record with 94 percent certainty, more than double the certainty it had last year when announcing 2014 as a record. NOAA put the number at above 99 percent — or "virtually certain," said Tom Karl, director of NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.

She covered ways to correct problem behavior that communicate safety, while explaining the science behind trauma-affected brains, and concluded with methods to implement thestrategies for the several Tuolumne County School Districts and public agencies in attendance. In cases ofrepeated childhood abuse, "nervous systems develop that prioritize interpersonal protection rather than interpersonal connection," Grant said. Grant cites work by psychiatrists

The majority of the brain develops in thefi rst four years oflife,prioritizing sensory input such as light, sound and temperature to trigger emotion reaction and thought. If theseearly experiences are repeatedly chaotic,neglectful and terrorizing, the child's stress response becomes oversensitive, putting the brainin a constant state offear,according to Perry and Hambrick in the article 'The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics." The condition is widespread and a big issue in schools, Grant said. Tuesday she explained a study linking childhood maltreatment to improved adult well-being and

health called The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study. The study, conducted between 1995 and 1997, is one of the largest done on the issue, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

a single workday. Employers would have still been required to pay an employee double their rate of pay for all hours worked beyond 12 in a single workday. Berryhill argued his bill would have made California businesses more competitive with those in other nearby states that have more flexible rules, including Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona. "Hamstringing an employer &om accommodating an employee's scheduling needs puts California employers at a disadvantage in comparison to neighboring states," he said. Support for the failed legislation came &om the Air Conditioning Trade Association, California Chapters of the American Fire Sprinkler Association, Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association of California and Western Electrical Contractors Association. Opponents of the bill, which included the California Labor Federation, said the bill would have undermined the eight-hour workday and allow workers to be pressured into working longer days without overtime. The committee rejected Berryhill's measure by a 4-1 vote.

A State Senate committee on labor and industrial relations lastweek rejected a Mother Lode lawmaker's bill aimed at allowing Californiaemployees to request an alternate 40hour workweek schedule. Senate Bill 368, introduced lastFebruary by State Sen.Tom Berryhill, R-Twain Harte, would have stripped the requirement for employersto pay overtime rates to employees who request a Be rryhill scheduleoffour 10-hour days in a 40-hour workweek. Berryhill says a four-day workweek could provideup to 50 extra days ofFeach year for the average full-time employee. "SB 368 would have given employees more time with their families and a better balance between work and family life," he stated in a pressrelease announcing the bill's defeat Wednesday. "Families are left juggling time between two working parents, school schedules and family obligations."

For whatever reason, Wall Street has become obsessed, all of a sudden, with the price of crude oil. Of course there has been a glut in oil for well over a year, but analysts and investors saw no correlation between oil and the value of stocks in other sectors of the market until this month. Now it appears that we have a full-blown crisis centered on plunging oil prices. To be blunt, we have a president who could -

care less about

the price of oil or o i l -related companies. Think about it: That industry has been heavily supportive of Republicans and states such as Texas, the home of President George H.W. Bush and President George W. Bush. This is not exactly beloved poli tical territory for President Obama. That's why Obama gave little thought to the implications of an agreement with Iran that frees up a m assive amount ofIranian oiland accelerates the glut. Up until now the presidential contest on the Republican side has been dominated by issues related to terrorism and immigration. The Democratic candidates have spent their time fighting over who can redistribute wealth the fastest and to the greatest extent. The problem is that by November, the wealth they want to give away might not even be there. Yes, the decline of China's economy kicked off this year's Wall Street correction, but the entire market appears to be rising or falling in tandem with the price of crude. This is a serious situation that could spin completely out of control. With the IMF having already warned of an economic slowdown worldwide and the Atlanta Fed's now-revered system of predicting U.S. GDP suggesting growth in the last quarter of 2015 atonly .7 percent, talk of a recession is increasing. Yes, it costs a lot less to fill your gas tank, but if the company you work for lays you offdue to an economic slowdown, those extra savings won' t

mean much. We could possibly see housing, manufacturing and retail stop dead in their tracks if this situationdoes notreverse itself. And as the presidential-year economic meltdown of 2008 helped put Republicans on the defensive, such an event this year could spell doom for the Democrats.

How would Hillary Clinton defend Barack Obama and John Kerry's idiotic agreement with Iran once Republicans point out how it's freeing up of Iranian crude oil and helping to destroy our economy? The Republican candidates must address this matter quickly with a plan to stabilize the oil and financial markets before a meltdown takes place. That plan might start with a strong message to Saudi Arabia. The U.S. government allows sales of military equipment and provides military support for Saudi Arabia, such as in the recent Saudi battle against rebel forces in Yemen. But while we were helping the Saudis last year, they were accelerating the slide in oil prices by refusing to cut production as the glut in oil deepened, in part to kill off U.S. oil producers. Should we be so cooperative with a nation whose intent was — and is — to run our own

domestic oil companies out of business? Years ago the late Secretary of State Alexander Haig told me that Iran's top goal is not the defeat of the United States nor the destruction of Israel. He stated that Iran's greatest goal has been and always will be conquering Saudi Arabia. It was a conversation I have never forgotten. And my guess is it is a concept the Saudis understand all too well. A presidentialcandidate who devises a strategy to forcethe Saudis to reverse their position on oil

production, and therefore stabilize both the oil and stock markets, might take true control of the race in the coming weeks. Reminding them of their vulnerability and need for U.S. goodwill and our powerful defensecontractorswould be a good place to start. Since the Saudis no longer seem to cooperate with OPEC, perhaps they should be encouraged to form a new "cartel": one with the United States that helps stabilize the price of oil and our financial markets. In exchange for less Saudi oil production, well grant the Saudis continued access to U.S. defense systems and assistance.

In America, alleged land of freedom, a 19-year-old soldier just back from Afghanistancan'tsidleup toa barand legally order a beer. In supposedly regulation-crazed Europe, meanwhile, an 18-year-old can order a martini. In the beer-drinking cultures of Belgium and Germany,a 16-year-old can ask for beer or wine. Do you detect a flaw in this story? Prohibition has been gone for over 80 years. Most agree that it was worse than the diseaseitwasmeant toeradicate— the scourge of drunkenness. Nowadays, backers of drug legalization rightly hold up Prohibition as their model for failed policy. Yet we see few arguments for lowering the national drinkmg age from the current 21 to 18, where it was until 1984. On the contrary, the public is still being pummeled by "expert" studies linking virtually any alcohol consumption to a variety of maladies, from cancer to road fatalities. Britain has just issued the U.K chief medical officer's new guidelines for alcohol consumption. They' re just short of nuts. They make no distinction between the ability of men and women to process alcohol. Wiser guidelines note that female bodies

Binge drinking is both unhealthy and unsightly. It reflects mostly immaturity and a lack of education on civilized drinkmg. Some of it, ironically, stems &om drinking bans on college campuses. Former Kenyon College President S. Georgia Nugent has made this argument. She's written that students heading off to a party knowing no alcohol will be served engage in "pre-gaming," that is, consuming huge quantities in advance. Britain has never taken this nanny talk seriously enough to raise its legal drinking age &om the current 18. By the way, the drinking age in Canada is 19 and in almost all of Latin America, 18. America stands pretty much alone in treatingpeople old enough to marry, vote and fight in wars like children.

570 California state agencies, as is done now. It is the responsibility of We the People to insist on a representative government. It is time for Jefferson. Mark Banks

To the Editor: The motivation for Jefferson is, quite simply, the solution for the lack of representation that has resulted from California's abandonment of the federal model of government via Reynolds vs. Sims (1964). The rural counties of Northern California, Tuolumne and Calaverasincluded, have 9 legislators as opposed to 111 for the more affluent counties of the Bay Area and Southern California. We essentially have no voice or representation in our government. California has for a long time been too big and diverse to govern with a population only based system. The need to separate the state has been recognized several times in California's history, including in 1941 where WWII rightfully interrupted the plan. The idea has been out there for a long time. Using current numbers, all but 2 of the 21 counties would run a budget surplus the first year of separation. Jefferson would take itsportion ofthe debtalong with itsallocation ofassets.Thereare many states that are smaller with less economic production that operate in the black and saying that Jefferson can't survive financially aRer separating from a state running a $375 billion deficit, is nonsensical. The LAO's numbers bear this out. Contracts with state employees, be they California's or Jefferson's by law and ethical standard, will remain in place. The separation agreements and division of assets and liabilities will be handled by Reconciliation Committees comprised of local and regional representatives, elected and appointed by We the People. Many of the State provided services will be delegated to local control and the corresponding taxes that fund these services will stay local rather than be filtered through one of the

The report goes on. Any amount of alcohol consumed on a regular basis raises the risk of mouth, throat and breast cancers. An Associated Press story on the guidelines authoritatively announces, "Alcohol is a known carcinogen." How is that? The Harvard School of Public Health has noted a link between alcohol consumption and breast cancer, but with an asterisk. "Getting extra folate (a B vitamin) may cancel out this alcohol-related increase," according to its report titled "Alcohol: Balancing Risks and Benefits." As for the benefits, Harvard cites numerous studies showing moderate drinkmg seems tolower the risk of cardiovascular death. The British report made the most grudging nod in that direction. It said that red wine might be good for heart only if you are a woman over age 55 and drink no more than two glass a week.

We just need toenforce existing gunlaws To the Editor: Don't panic, there are many points on Barack Obama's edicts on gun control that need to be clarified, but there are two that may clearup thefearsofm ostpeople.No.1,forthepast20-plusyears,all firearms purchased at gun shows have had to be routed through a federally licensed firearms dealer and the buyer has been required to pass a background and wait 10 days check just as if the item was purchased at a gun store. No. 2, also for the past 20-plus years the same procedure has been in place for guns purchased over the Internet. They must be shipped directly to a local gun store and the same background features followed. If anyone claims they bought a gun at a show without a background check, (besides muzzle loaders), they are telling an untruth. If they are telling the truth, they committed a crime in almost every state but four. So why does Mr. Obama feel the need to mislead people.... fear; fear brings control. We don't need more laws about anything, we just need to enforce the laws we already have whether it regards guns, immigration, cars, food safety, drugs, or presidential/political crimes. Randal A.

Baby seal found in bushes at park HAYWARD — An emaciated baby northern fur seal is recovering after it was found in some bushes at a San Francisco Bay Area business park, hissecond escape attempt in just a few months. Hayward police said on the department's Facebook page that the dehydrated and malnourished seal was found afier someone called about the pup around 6 a.m. Wednesday. Police say the seal — somehow — got out of the water, crossedbusy Interstate 880 and found its way to the bushes. Police at first thought the caller was mistaken and the furry fellow was really just a "possum or a weird cat."

Police called the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito. Center spokeswoman Laura Sherr confirmed to KNTV that her team picked up the animal, which they hope to nourish and send back into the wild as soon as possible.

Wal-Mart to give pay raises to most NEW YORK (AP) — WalMart is giving raises to the vast majority of its U.S. employeesas part ofthe world's largest retailer's previously announced investment in its workforce. The move comes as

it seeks to hold onto workers in an increasingly competitive market. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Wednesday said more than 1.2 million U.S. hourly workers will get wage increases on Feb. 20. The company, the largestU.S. private employer with 1.4 million total workers, also said it will provide free, basic short-term disability to full-time hourly workers. And it will start allowing workers to accrue paid time off as they earn it.

The moves mark thebiggest changes Wal-Mart has made in its efforts to offer

better wages and benefits to its workers. They come as company faces pressure from labor-back groups who have criticized the company for its treatment of its workers. Last February, Wal-Mart announced that i t w o uld raise base employee wages for 500,000 workers to $9 an hour last year, with plans to

Sonora-resident S h aron Marovich said she, too, is opposed to the death penalty. Marovich is chairwoman of the Tuolumne CountyDemocratic Central Committee and saidthe localcommittee doesn'thave an official position. Democrats in general are known to oppose the death penalty though, during the Clinton administration, Democrats led the expansion of the federal death penalty, and President Barack Obama has said he supports limited use of the death penalty, including for people who have been convicted of raping a minor under age of 12. Obama opposed the Supreme Court's 2008 ruling in Kennedy v. Louisiana that the death penalty was unconstitutional in child rape cases. Obama has said he thinks the "deathpenalty does little to detercrime,"and that itis used too frequently and too inconsistently. "The fact that the (Field) poll showed Californians are somewhat equally divided, shows that public opinion has moved to against the death penalty over the years. It shows more and more Californians are opposed," Marovich said. "I think that for someone who is convicted of a terrible crime, life in prison without possibility of parole would be a fitting punishment," Marovich said. Marovich's late husband, Tom Marovich, was an at-

torney from 1964 until he died in early 2015. He was Tuolumne County's district attorney through most of the 1970s and, during his years in private practice, was contracted as public defender in t h r e e c apital murder cases, including Charles Ng (before the case was moved to Orange County), George Smithey, and another case where the jury didn't find in favor of the death penalty. "In terms ofthe logistics of the death penalty, it takes years and years and years of courtroom and legal work and many years of appeals, to which the convicted person is entitled to," Marovich said. The condemned "literally spend their lives" on death row, she said. "Justice delayed is justice denied,"Marovich said. "It seems to be something that needs reform." The risk of executing an innocent person isn't worth it, said Domenic Torchia, of Columbia, who is the president of the Tuolumne County Democrat Club but wasn' t s peaking on behalf of i t s members. "I never saw any real sense in it," especially where DNA has clearedpeople convicted of crimes, Torchia said. "If you kill someone, you can't take it back."

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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 of which 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.

NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING Sonora Cit Council Meetin NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Monday, February 1, 2016, at 5:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as may be heard, in the City Council Chambers located at 94 N. Washington Street, Sonora, California, the Sonora City Council will hold a public hearing on the following item:

A proposed land use ordinance that would ban all marijuana dispensaries within the City of Sonora. The proposed land use ordinance would also limit the cultivation of marijuana in the City of Sonora to six plants per legal parcel regardless of whether a marijuana plant is considered a mature or immature plant. The proposed land use regulation would permit the cultivation of marijuana in the City of Sonora only within a detached, fully enclosed, secure structure which conforms to Sonora's Municipal Code and which is not used for or intended for human occupancy. The proposed land use ordinance affects all property owners and inhabitants of the City of Sonora. On January 11, 2016, the City of Sonora Planning Commission held a public hearing on said text amendments. Subsequent to the hearing, the Commission voted to recommend approval of the text amendments by the City Council. The Commission did recommend that the City Council consider (1) reviewing the Ordinance in a year and (2) requiring that a person who wishes to cultivate marijuana provide notice to the surrounding property owners.

The above-referenced project is Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State and City Guidelines for implementation of CEQA which states that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. At the above time and place, all persons interested in the above, either for or against the proposed ordinance, will be given the opportunity to be heard. The proposed ordinance is available for review at the City of Sonora Community Development Department, which is located at 94 North Washington Street, Sonora CA 95370. The Sonora Community Development Department is open Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Please be advised that if you challenge the item listed above in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the Sonora City Council at, or prior to, the February 1, 2016, Public Hearing.

DEAR ANNIE: I am a healthy, active, 68-year-old divorced man, still employedand productive.Abouta year ago, I met "Caroline," 8 pleasant, generous, compatible woman, and have since enjoyed her company on a regular basis. We spent Christmas together in Europe. Itwaslovely. Unfortunately, there is one problem that drives me crazy: Caroline is a compulsivetalker.It doesn't matter ifw e're

in a movie theater, we' re watching a TV show or I'm trying to read the newspaper. She just starts yakking in my ear. I try to ignore it, but she goes right on. She doesn't get the hint that I'I not interestedin chatting at that precise moment.

How do I tell her nicely to shut up for a while? — PATIENT BUT TIRED DEAR PATIE&Z: Might Caroline have ahearing problem? Is she insecure and believes she has to fill all the silences between you? The next time she does this, you should

Today in history

Annie's Mailbox '+ > gently hold her hand and say, 'Caroline, it would be nice for us to watch this show together. Can we talk when it's over?" If she persists, you might ask her to see her doctor to have her hearing checked. Later, when you have some peaceful time together, tell her how much you enjoy just spending quiet time in her company and how niceit is that the silence is comfortable. This will help reinforce the behavioryou want.But make sure to pay attention to her when you are, in fact,having a conversation. Some people chatter endlessly because they feel that their words are being ignored. DEAR ANNIE: You published that silly cost of the 12 days of Christmas

and once again, eight maids a milking were being paid $58 — minimum wage forthepastthreeyears. This is so wrong! I milked cows on a dairyfarm for 15 years,and letm e tell you, it is a skilled occupation. I went to milking school. And it pays more than minimum wage. I was paid $12 when the federal minimum wage was $5.60. And what about the cost of those cows? Why isn't that included? A dairycow costs at least $1,500,so eight of them — one for each maid — would be $12,000. However, if the giR-giver bought the cows, he would have to hire at least one milkmaid full time. This should be corrected. AbPX IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR ANNE: We truly enjoyed your letter.We rarely hear from someone who worked as a milkmaid.And ofcourse,how much the milkmaids receive each day would depend on how many hours they worked. Also, nothing in the song indicates that the gift-giver includ-

ed cows. Only the maids-a-milking. Since the song was first published in 1780, we assume the recipient already had cows. The figures we printed came from the PNC Bank (originally the Provident National Bank in Philadelphia), which calculates maidsa-milking as unskilled labor, and thus they are paid minimum wage. We will be happy to pass along your claim that they are skilled labor fmd therefore entitled to more money. We' re still chuckling. Thank you so much forwriting.You made our day.

Prognosis for esophageal cancer diagnosis limited DEAR DR. ROACH: ARer seeing many specialists, I received the diagnosis of esophageal cancer T4b N2. The PET scan shows thickening of the loweresophagus of4.1cm in diameter and local nodal disease, but no distant metastatic disease. They say I am not a candidate for surgery, and chemo and radiation are the only treatments. I have had five days of chemo with a pump 24/7.I have suffered this past week with mouth and throat sores, making it very hard to talk, eat and drink. One week from today, I begin seven weeks of radiation, and then

more cycles of chemo. I have asked numerous questions of my doctors and get vague answers as to my chances of beating this. I have been told that this treatment is aggressive and will be rough. They tell me I will have damage to my esophagus, lungs and spine. The oncologist says I am stage 3B. What, in your professional opinion, are my chances? I want to know the likelihood of a cure.I have an 88-year-old mother with dementia. I am an only child, so

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. her well-being and care is my sole responsibility. I had hoped I would outlive her so she could stay in her home as long as possible. Having said that, I will be truthful: It makes me very nervous to know my chances of survival. — Anon. ANSWER: I am very sorry to hear of your diagnosis, and hope I will be able to help. Your doctors are vague because physicians are not very good at making these predictions. Our "crystal balls" are cloudy, and they can be biased by our desireto be optimistic.However, there is some information I can give you, but I also will discuss its limitations.

giveyou some peace ofmind and confi-

prognosis. The statistics I am giving you are from studies more than 10 years old now, but they are the best available, so it's likely your prognosis is likely to be somewhat better. I can give you the answer in two ways. The first is to say that roughly 10 to 20 percent of people with your stage cancer will be alive in five years, and we generally say that five years represents a "cure," since it is likely that all cancer will be gone in people who survive so long. The second way is to say that the median survival is 15 months, meaning half of people with your stage esophageal cancer will live longer than 15 months, and half will not. These are both accurate state-

dence to spend your energy on getting through the treatments to try to cure the cancer, or at least give you as much time as possible. I truly wish you the best with this difficult diagnosis.

Today is Thursday, Jan. 21, the 21st day of 2016. There are 345 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Jan. 21, 1976, British Airways and Air France inaugurated scheduled passenger service on the supersonic Concorde jet. On this date: ln 1908, New York City' s Board of Aldermen passed an ordinance prohibiting women from smoking in public establishments (the measure was vetoed by Mayor George B. McClellan Jr., but not before one woman, Katie Mulcahey, was jailed overnight for refusing to pay a fine). ln 1954, the first atomic submarine, the USS Nautilus, was launched at Groton (GRAH'tuhn), Connecticut (however, the Nautilus did not make its first nuclear-powered run until nearly a year later). ln 1968, the Battle of Khe Sanh began during the Vietnam War. An American B-52 bomber carrying four hydrogen bombs crashed in Greenland, killing one crew member and scattering radioactive material. ln 1977, President Jimmy Carter pardoned almost all Vietnam War draft evaders. ln 1982, convict-turnedauthor Jack Henry Abbott was found guilty in New York of first-degree manslaughter in the stabbing death of waiter Richard Adan in 1981. (Abbott was later sentenced to 15 years to life in prison; he committed suicide in 2002.) ln 2010, a bitterly divided U.S. Supreme Court, in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, vastly increased the power of big business and labor unions to influence government decisions by freeing them to spend their millions directly to sway elections for president and Congress.

Don't get stopped by past failures. Choose your direction and go for it. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Today is an 8 — You' re attracting the attention of an important person. Save sharp comments for later. Abandon old fears. Plan for two days in the spotlight. This could be a test. Take on new responsibilities. Smile and wave. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Today is a 7 — The next two days are good for expanding your territory. Begin an adventurousphase,and see what you can discover.Build on what you knew. Dig into the background materials for illumination. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Today is an 8 — Handle financial errands and management over the next couple of days. A lack of funds could threaten your plans. Take care not to provoke jealousies. Pay bills before spending on frills. Balance accounts. Capricorn (Dm. 22-Jan. 19):Today is an 8 — The next two days are good for negotiations and compromise in a partnership. Refine the plan. Adjust to the needs and demands of others. Resist temptation.

Over West's double, North might jump to four spades. This is a slight underbid, but it could keep the opponents out of the auction, and a slam is unlikely given West's double. North's alternative is to respond two no-trump, which shows at least game-invitational values with four or more trumps. Here, South would rebid four spades. At first glance, declarer needs to take a winning heart finesse or to find the diamond queen. But actually the contract is guaranteed. South should win the third trick with the heart ace, draw trumps, and exit with a heart. Whichever defender takes the trick (here, West) must either lead a diamond, finding the queen for declarer; or concede a ruff-andsluff, allowing South to ruff on the board and discard a diamond from his hand. Problem solved and goal achieved.

BRIEFING

Wildcats hoops beat Lions The Sonora Wildcats girls' basketball team got a 63-36 win Wednesday night over the Linden Lions at Bud Castle Gym. "It was a good team effort," said Sonora head coach Amy Emerald. "We have not been doing a good job executing our offense as of late, and we did that really well tonight." Sonora played strong in the second quarter, outscoring the Lions 16-7, and 16-9 in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats got 13 points, four rebounds, four steals and three assists from Haylie Santos. Gabby Stewart came off the bench and scored 10 points for the 'Cats. Elyse Quenneville scored seven points and pulled down eight rebounds, Makenna Poole scored seven, had five rebounds, seven assists and seven steals, Riley Henington scored seven, Carley Copello and Megan Popovich scored six, Adrianna Albanez scored three and had six rebounds, and Riley Carpenter and Delaney Ditler scored two. Emerald was pleased with the all-around performance from Poole. "She had a really good defensive game tonight," Emerald said. "She was a little off offensively, which is OK, it happens. But she just played great defense. And Gabby did a great jobcoming offthe bench and brought a lot of energy with her." Sonora (14-3, 6-0 MLL) is off until next Wednesday, when it heads to Linden for a rematch with the Lions. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m.

Kings beat Lakers, Kobe LOS ANGELES (AP) — DeMarcus Cousins had 36 points and 16 rebounds, and Rajon Rondo added 11 points and 17 assists in the Kings' sixth consecutive victory over the Lakers. Rudy Gay scored 16 points for the Kings, who have won three straight and six of nine. Cousins continued his tear through 2016 with another brutally effective performance, scoring at least 29 points for the eighth time in the Kings' nine games in January. Kobe Bryant scored just two of his 15 points after halftime and Brandon Bass had a season-high 18 for the Lakers, who have lost four straight and eight of nine to drop to 9-35.

, I INIIL'.

Columbia College sophomore Trevin Wilson walked off the Oak Pavilion floor Wednesday night alongside teammate Aaron May following the Jumpers 88-84 win over the Porterville Pirates. Wilson had a slight limp due to a cramp in his calf, but that didn' t keep an ear-to-ear smile off his face. On the night of his father's 50th birthday, Wilson played his best game of the season. The 5'll guard from Lafayette, Louisiana, scored 13 points and knocked down three clutch free throws with under 3 minutes to play to give the Jumpers a six-point lead. "I just had to trust everything that I' ve been working on and that hard work pays off," Wilson said. "I had a cramp in my left calf, so I had to remind myself that I don't feel the pain, and that I need to just focus on these shots." Wilson's play did not go unnoticed by Columbia head coach Rob Hoyt.

Patriots LB rescues woman following accident FOXBOROUGH, M a ss. (AP) — New England Patriots linebacker Darius Fleming didn't hesitate when he saw a woman trapped in a smoking car: He kicked out the window, enabling her to escape. But Fleming cut his right leg in the process, and he soon began to worry about how coach Bill Belichick would react.

"The first concern was, like, 'Man, Bill's going to be pissed about my leg,"' Fleming said in the Patriots locker room on Wednesday after word of his rescue filtered out. "I explained the story to him and he said, That was pretty cool. I'm glad you were able to help her.'"

Fleming, 26, said he was on his way home from practice

on Thursday when a truck up ahead slowed down to turn, causing a three-car collision behind it. The former Notre Dame and San Francisco 49er SeeACCIDENT/Page C3

Chip Kelly won't change his ways in new SF job SANTA CLARA (AP) — Chip Kelly can handle the chatter and criticism, from his own players and otherwise. Moving way out West might be among the only major changes he's planning as the new 49ers coach, with the unrepentant Kelly insisting he is perfectly content letting general manager Trent Baalke call the shots when it comes to personnel and the 53-man roster so he can focus on his job: Bringing a sixth Super Bowl trophy back to this storied franchise. "I want to just coach football," Kelly said Wednesday when he was formally introduced at Levi's Stadium. 'Tm hands on. I lead with my feet, not with my seat." And, no, he's not ready to name Colin Kaepernick his quarterback — though Kelly likes both Kaepe-

mick and BlaineGabbert,who ended the season as San Francisco's starter. Both quarterbacks have stopped by team headquarters to say hello to their new coach in person. Kaepernick is recovering from surgery on the thumb of his throwing hand to repair a tom ligament, a procedure on his left knee and an operation on his non-throwing left shoulder to fix a tom labrum. His $1L9 million 2016 contractbecomes fully guaranteed for injury April1 if he's on the roster. "Obviously, Kap is an extremely talented football playerand you need tohave a good quarterback to win," Kelly said. "But I was also impressed in the film I watched in terms of how Blaine played this year also. Both of those players made this an attractive situation."

Fired for the first time in his career by the Eagles after Week 16, Kelly was out of work for all of two weeks before landing a $24 million, four-year contract to coach the 49ers last Thursday. Kelly indicated the Eagles would be responsible for paying about half of the $13 million he was owed for the final two seasons on his contract with Philadelphia. When asked whether he left a bad taste with players in Philadelphia, Kelly said, "I'm not governed by the fear of what other people say." "I don't know if I can be significantly different. I think you have to be yourself in terms of how you do things," Kelly said. "But we all learn." In fact, he said of losing his job with the Eagles, "I lookedatitasm oreofan autopsy."

Both teams will be in action Friday, as the Bullfrogs (7-9, 2-3 MLL) host the Calaveras Redskins at 6 p.m. in San Andreas, while the Bears (1-15, 0-5 MLL) will hit the road and play in Linden with a 7:30 p.m. tip-off.

WARRIORS Continued from PageC1 The Warriors are more than just a good team. They' re a team that set a league record with a 24-0 start. And they' re a team that could challenge the single-season mark of 72 wins set by the 1995-96 Bulls. "I feel like we kind of have that chip back on our shoulders," Draymond Green said. "It kind of fell off a little bit." The Warriors built a big lead in the first quarter and never were threatened after that, improving their league-best road record to 20-4. Derrick Rose scored 29 and Jimmy Butler added 23 points afier a slow start for Chicago. Pau Gasol was a nonfactor with one point and the Bulls missed 19 of 20 3-pointers on the way to their fifth loss in seven games. "It's embarrassing," Rose said. 'We stopped communicating while we were out there. You could easily tell there was no communication on both sides of the ball. The only thing we can do from it is learn."

Strong start Two nights after they pounded Cleveland in the arena where they captured the c hampionship last spring, the Warriors wasted little time

It wasn' t.

With under a minute to play, Porterville scored, cutting the Jumpers lead to 8178. But Meserole, Mr. Clutch, scored in traffic while being fouled in the process. He made the free throw to give Columbia an84-78 lead. Meserole has been making plays like that all season. "This is my second year playing with Mike, and I know that when it comes down to it, he is going to make the right decision out there," Wilson said." Whether it's a shot or a pass, he's going to make the play that, as a team, we really need." With the win, Columbia snapped its two-game losing streak. It was the Jumpers first win since Jan. 6, and for Hoyt, he knew a win Wednesday night was important, but the season would not be lost if the Jumpers could not get the victory. "I didn't think of implications going into the game,"

Hoyt said. "I didn't think that a loss would be the end of the year. I felt like we definitely needed a win. As the game went up and down and they got alittle closer,the group pulled themselves together. I didn't do it. Mike (Meserole) started grabbing the group and I walked away. The guys really responded to that." Stallings led all Columbia scorerswith 26 points,followed by Meserole with 21, Grant with 16, Wilson with 13, and Van Der Veur with 12. Meserole and Grant each dished out five assists. The Claim Jumpers made 13 3-pointers. "It's good to walk out there and beat them because they are a good team," Polack said.

With 4 minutes remaining in the game, Stallings drained his eighth 3-pointer of the game to give the Jumpers a 75-65 lead.

THE UN' DEMO CRAT

Pacific Division is unimpressive, yet competitive ANAHEIM (AP) — Bruce Boudreau never thought his Anaheim Ducks would struggle so profoundly in the first half of the season. The veteran coach a l so

neverimagined he would be grateful to be in the Pacific Division when it happened, since it means they' re still right in the playoff race. "Yeah, we' ve been fortunate in that regard," Boudreau said. 'You don't expect the teams in this division to help you out, given the competition that we' ve had out here recently. That's hockey. Sometimes it doesn't make a lot of sense." The combined struggles of the NHL's westernmost division have been among the bigger surprises of the hockey season.

The Pacific was an intimidating bastion of hardhitting, fast-skating teams not too long ago. But for long stretchesof this season, the Los Angeles Kings have looked like the only playoff-worthy team west of Denver. Thanks to fan balloting, the Pacific's captain at the All-Star Game will be nowformer Arizona enforcer John Scott.There are still great players out West, from $80 million Kings center Anze Kopitar to Edmonton's revitalized Taylor Hall.

I was just thinking about whether she was safe," Fleming said. "Once I got her out of the car, she said Thank you,' I said You' re welcome,' and I saw my leg and I got out of there."

York doesn't plan on hiring another head coach anytime soon, even if the turnaround takes time, saying: "Chip's going to be here for a long time. Period." Before Jim Harbaugh's last season in 2014, the 49ers reached three straight NFC championship games and lost in the Super Bowl following the 2012 season.

The Sharks made a move up the standings shortly after Christmas, but they remain the conference's worst home team, winning just eight times in 21 games amid declining crowds at the Shark Tank. The bright side to the Pacific's mediocrity is the competition created. There's even a chance that the Pacific could have four playoff teams this spring, given the relative lack of strength in the middle of the superior Central.

Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

Was this a return of 'Anthony,' the evil twin? Not exactly, because this wasn' t

necessarily Tony Stewart snapping and angrily taking matters into his own clenched hands. This was Tony confronting someone in the grandstands who, according to reports, probably needed confronting at last weekend's Chili Bowl in Oklahoma. In a perfect world, someone else

wheel, but this was a different type of situation. We' ve been wrong before on this page, but I'm still thinking this will be the most noise Tony makes in z016, on or off the track.

Smart move? On Kyle's "Racing Reference" page, I counted 168 overall wins since zo03. Let's assume he knows what he's doing.

By Godwin Kelly godwin.k elly@news-jrnl.cor n Martin Truex Jr. finds himself in a position much like Brad Keselowski faced nl 2013. Keselowski won the 2012

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivingaDodge for Team Penske. The following year his team switched to Ford and his numbers fell off the chart. Truex has raced a Chevro-

let at Furniture Row Racing for two years and in 2015

finished a career-high fourth in Cup Series points. Now all those Chevys have

been rolled out of the team's Colorado race shop and replaced by Toyotas. Truex is not worried or

in a state of panic about the move. Actually, he has just

the opposite mindset. With the Toyota deal

comes support from the manufacturer's flagship team, Joe Gibbs Racing, which won the z015 Cup title with driver Kyle Busch.

"I' ve been pleasantly surprised by just how well Joe Gibbs Racing wants to

work with us," Truex told NASCAR This Week in a phone interview. "They are

heavily involved with our program and getting us up to speed. "It's not typical of a team

for us. To expand the team from a business perspective, and competitively, to be in the sport for a long time, we really needed to move ourselves into abetter position." Truex, who drove a Wal-

lateral move. He sees joining the Toyota family as a step up the competition ladder. "I have a history of working with Toyota and I know what their commitment is to NASCAR," he said.

"All these things coming together are going to make our team stronger." Truex said he is getting more excited about Speed-

to see how it looks when I get down there. This is the race track of the future, and hopefully the fans will embrace it." There's something else Truex wants to embrace: the

Harley J. Earl Trophy, which goes to the Daytona 5oo winner. "It's such a big, prestigious race, you really are focused in on winning it," he said. "We' ll go to Daytona and do all we can to win the

Abreu lands a Truck Series ride for 2016 It was a very big week for Rico Abreu, who won his second-straight Chili Bowl feature in Tulsa, Rico Abren Oklahoma, a day after it was announced he' ll go racing full time this year in NASCAR's Camping World Truck Series. Abreu will drive the No. 98 Tundra sponsored by Curb Records and owned by Thor Sport Racing. His crew chief will be Doug George. The 23-year-old Abreu, a <-foot-< racer from California, was introduced

to NASCAR last year as a rookie in the

K&N Pro Series East, where he won a race, recorded eight top-10 finishes and

finished fifth in points. In last Saturday night's Chili Bowl final, Abreu passed Bryan Clauson with 10 laps remaining in the 55-lap feature.

number for the Petty organization, which has fielded cars ranging in numbers from <0 to <5 since its inception, which dates back to NASCAR's earliest days. The team's rumored departure from the No. 9 raised speculation that Chase Elliott might keep that number, which he ran in the Xfinity Series the past two years, for his rookie season with Hendrick Motorsports this year in Sprint Cup. But Hendrick Motorsports

quickly quashed that, saying Elliott, as originally announced, would run Jeff Gordon's former No. zy.
