In addition to the funding request, the council is scheduled to hold a first reading on a proposed ordinance that would allow qualified patientsor caregivers in the city to cultivate up to six marijuana plants on their property. Under the proposed ordinance, anyone who wants togrow medical pot on their property within the city limits would be required to do so outside in a fully enclosed, opaque structure — such as a shed — separate from their residence. Indoor growing and cultivation on Maggie Beck/Union Democrat vacant lots would be prohibited.

The Sonora City Council is scheduled to tackle a range of hot-button issues at Monday's meeting. A request for additional funding to purchase new benches and trash cans, medical marijuana regulations and changes to the names of iconic landmarks in Yosemite National Park are among the items listed on Monday's agenda. According to meeting documents, the committee overseeing the implementation of the city's multi-year

Vision Sonora transportation and beautification plan is requesting an additional $13,000 for new trash cansand benches to replace existing ones in the downtown area. About $20,000 was included in the current fiscal year budget for a Vision Sonora project that entails purchasing20 new trash receptacles and 13 benches, as well as powder coating and repairing the 40 existing receptacles and 15 benches.

al is more strict than the county's by design due to generally smaller lot sizes in the city. The ordinance would also maintain a 2011 ban on medical marijuana dispensaries from operating within the city, though mobile deliveries would be allowed. Also at Monday's meeting, the council will consider sending a letter to National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis in opposition to the announced changes to names of historic sites in Yosemite — such as the Ahwahnee Hotel, Curry Village and Badger Pass Ski Area — amid a contract dispute with the park's former concessioner, Delaware North Companies. A draR of the council's letter urges Jarvis to prevent the name changes from happening. "The federal government is being held hostage by DNC for a situation that should never have occurred," the letter states."These iconic names belong to the public and now the taxpayer is going to bear the burden to settle this issue."

His engineering exploits included experimental nuclear reactors in Idaho, Virginia, Greenland and Antarctica,commercial reactors in Spain and Pennsylvania, and the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). Brad Millar led an active life in retirement, devoting much of his time to volunteering: gleaning vegetables, deliveringbread, preparing meals, caring for rescue animals and serving on a crisis hotline are just a few of the ways that Brad contributed to the community. His years of service as a docent at Calaveras Big Trees and a xeriscape garden at his home reflected a lifelong commitment to environmental sustainability. Brad is survived by Mary, his wife of 39 years; his children, Brian, Patricia and Alan Millar; Patti's husband, Jef' Bergenthal; his grandsons, Matthew and Joshua Stief; and his beloved cat, Zoic. Grandson Joshua says, "My grandfather passed on his loveofideas,books,languages and diverse cultures.

In the jaws of bargain oil, the U.S. Department of Energy expects Americans to increase their use of renewable power this year by almost 10 percent. Why is this time different? Consider solar power. Over the past 18 months, the price of oil has fallen by 75 percent, yet the installation of solar panels proceeds apace. The advocacy group Solar Foundation reportsthat jobs in solar energy increased last year by more than 20 percent. Most of them were for installers. As for wind power, Denmark-based Vestas, one of the big three wind-turbine companies, says that business continues to boom in North America, Asia, Africa and Latin America. Its stockprice doubled lastyear. What's going on? For starters, while the price of oil has fallen, so have the costs of green energy technologies. For another, strangling air pollution in China and India has fed a desire for clean energy greater than the urge to find the cheapest source. And international alarm over carbon's role in '

global warming has taken root in concrete ways.

It appearsthat vows tocutfossil-fueluse atthe Paris climate-change summit are being taken seriously. In this country, Congress recently extended tax credits for new wind and solar projects. President Obama's Clean Power Plan, meanwhile, is requiringstates to cutpower-plant emissions. Sharply lower oil and gas prices have translated into enormous savings for consumers. Some developing countries have used their newfound cash to cut subsidies for gasoline. Countries dependent on imported oil are using the savings to invest in wind power, according to Vestas.

Drops in oil prices act like tax cuts, and American consumers may be spending some of their bounty on SUVs and trucks. That's not great environmental news. On the other hand, SUVs and trucks are now so much more fuelefficient than in the past. Within the fossil-fuel world, a sharp drop in oil prices has rearranged the economics with environmental benefits. As The Economist magazine explained, "Cheap oil has a green lining, as it drags down the global prices of naturalgas,which crowds out coal,a dirtier fuel." Another green lining is that it makes drilling in hard-to-reach places, such as the Arctic, less economically feasible. This offered good timing for Obama's proposal to extend "wilderness" designation to millions of the acres in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Drilling and mining are off-limits in wilderness-designated areas. ANWR has long been a battleground between environmentalists and oil companies.

GUEST COLUMN

Playing hardball at Yosemite National Park On Jan. 14, the National Park Service announced that Yosemite's iconic Ahwahnee Hotel will become the Majestic Yosemite Hotel on March 1. A news releaseexplained that because of a trademark dispute with outgoing concessionaire Delaware North of Buffalo, New York, the Wawona Hotel will become Big Trees Lodge and Curry Village will become Half Dome Village. Peoplereadily saw a case ofcorporate greed. At Mother Jones, Kevin Drum posted a blog with a photo of company executives and the heading: "Meet the corporate suits who claim to own the trademark to Yosemite National Park.' " The next day, Drum conceded his initial take was "probably wrong." The story is less of an outrage than "a fairly pedestrian contract dispute." It turns out Delaware North does have rights to its concession's intellectual property — including names — because the company had to buy those intangible assets &om the previous opera-

Debra J. Saunders tor. The National Park Service acknowledges this fact and values these assets at $3.5 million. Delaware North wants $51 million. The matter will be settled in federalcourt. In other words, this dispute is like an ugly divorce, with the park-loving public as the children. The National Park Service is ready to walk down the aisle with a new bride. It is looking to its bright future, while the soont o-be-ex-wife wants t o

to pay fair value for them. National Park Service spokesman Scott Gediman acknowledged that if Aramark pays bottom dollarforYosemite'sbig names, taxpayers don't benefit. Aramark does. The public didn't have a dog in this fight — until the park service announced it was dumping historic names. It was natural for people to assume that Delaware North was messing with California's favorite national park. But as Dan Jensen, once president of Delaware North Yosemite, told me, "We' ve never threatened to take the names." On Jan. 2, Delaware North sent the parkservicea letter stipulating that Aramark could use the old hotel names royaltyfreepending a court decision. Will Delaware North abide by whatever the court decides? "It's my understanding, yes," Jensen answered, before adding he is not a lawyer. So why did the Park Service announce the name change when two weeks earlier Dela-

Some economists worry that the oil-price "tax

cut" isn't doing much for the American economy because consumers seem to mostly be saving the money instead of spending. Cheer up. Saving shouldbe regarded as deferred spending,and in any case, it's about time Americans amassed an economic cushion. Of course, the drop in energy prices has hurt oil-and-gas-producing parts of t his country, Alaska in particular. Happily, the economies of oil-producing Texas and North Dakota have become considerably diversified. Energy is not the only game. Certainly, oil and gas are not. Texas has become America's biggest producer of windpoweredelectricity. Renewable energy is not the environmental plaything mocked years ago by the drilling interests and their politicians. Two months ago, in the midst of an oil-price tumble, Goldman Sachs said it was quadrupling its bet in alternative energy to $150 billion. Hard numbers have clearly taken over the debate, and clean energy is winning.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An antiquities dealer who inspired tens of thousands to search the Rocky Mountains for $2 million in hidden treasure now leads an increasingly desperate mission to find one of his fans. Forrest Fenn has been flying out in charteredhelicoptersor planes,searching remote stretches of the upper Rio Grande forany sign of Randy Bilyeu, now missing in the wild for more than three &igid weeks. Fellow treasure hunters also are searching for Bilyeu, who was last seen on Jan. 5 while trying to solve Fenn's mystery. "Every time we go out and don't find Randy it's discouraging but we' re not going to give up," Fenn told The AssociatedPress."There are stillplaces

remote corners of New Mexico, Yellow-

The mystery has been featured by national media, igniting even more interest. Fenn gets about 120 emails a day &om people looking for his 40-pound box, and believes 65,000 people have searched for the stash, some using fam-

one thing, of course, but there's a sense of adventure when you get out in the mountains and in the sunshine and the fresh air," Fenn explained. "One of my motives was to get the kids off the couch and away &om the game machine." But the search can be risky: Some have forded swollen creeks in Yellowstone and were rescued by rangers. A Texas woman spent a worrisome night in the New Mexico woods after being caught in the dark. Others have been cited for digging on public land, and federal managers have warned treasure hunters not to damage archaeological or biological resources. No "Fenner" has been in a more dangerous a predicament than Bilyeu, a 54-year-ol d grandfather who moved to Coloradotwo years ago to follow this dream.

That small commitment by the group known as the Higher Negotiating Committee came just minutes before U.N. special envoy Staffan de Mistura met with a delegation representing the government of President Bashar Assad. The conflict has killed at least 250,000 people, forced millions to flee the country, and given an opening to the Islamic Stategroup tocapture territory in Syria and Iraq. It has drawn in U.S. and Russia, as well as regional powers such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Iran. The HNC, a S audibacked bloc, had previously said it would not participate in the U.¹ sponsored talks without an end to the bombardment of civilians by Russian and Syrian government forces, a lifting of blockades in rebel-held areas and the release of detainees.

Continued from Page Al day with Ken Keagy, owner of Corner Gas at 852 Mono Way. In the letter to Miller dated Jan. 26, Keagy questioned the city's intentions about acquiring the property due to the apparent lack of communication between the two sides over the past several months. "I was just trying to get them going on it," Keagy said in a telephone interview Friday. "I' ve talked to the city a couple of times over the past year or two. They went through the trouble to get an appraisal, so I thought they would move along faster than they have." Keagy, whose family has owned the business since the early 1950s, said he has yet to seethe appraisal from the city.H e could requesta secondary appraisal if he doesn't agree with what the city brings forward. In addition, Keagy said it will take time to remove all of the structures from the property, gas tanks and cleanup any contamination. "We' re going to get it rolling and hopefully everyone will leave happy," he said. Time is of the essence because the city' s goal is to complete the intersection widening project in time for the Spring 2017 opening of Sonora Regional Medical Center's new $20 million cancer center. The intersection project, planned since 2002, would widen the north side of Greenley Road at Mono Way by two lanes and make various upgrades to provide safer access to the hospital's new center.

The state has reportedlycollected more than $300 million from the fee and spent about $260 million. Last year, the Tuolumne County Fire Department was given $84,000 from the fund for roadside brush clearing. Should a judge determine that property owners in the lawsuit are entitled to a refund, they would have to submit a claim to the Board of Equalization with whatever proof the court may require, according to the association. Anyone wishing to opt out of the class-action suit can do so by mailing a letter to the association'sattorney stating "I hereby assert my right to be excluded from the Class in H oward Jarvis Taxpayers Association,etal.,v.

are perfect, Tucker said she hopes it will be a good starting point for the county to change its views about medical marijuana and its potentialbenefits for treatment of

certaindiseases and pain. Tucker herself began using marijuana medicinally in 2011 for treating pain from Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness that can lead to severe joint and muscle pain, headaches and other symptoms that can persistfor years despiteantibiotictreatment. Prior to discovering medical marijuana — which she typicallyuses through alcohol-based tinctures and topical creams — Tucker said she frequently used opioid medications that made her feel

suicidal. "It sounds cheesy, but cannabis literally saved my life," she said. "I was a husk of a human and thinking I was going to die." Tucker is hoping to hold monthly meetings of TCA as the county moves forward with its task force and the state prepares for likely ballot initiatives in N ovember

that would legalize the drug forrecreational use. The group is scheduled to meet from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Gypsy Shack at 13681 Mono Way in East Sonora to discuss future goalsand tech-

niques on civic engagement for Tuesday's hearing. Tucker said she appreciates the willingness of county leaders to have a conversation about medical marijuana. "The five members who are

sitting on our board are very intelligent, thoughtful people," she said. "They want to address all sides and come up with the best solution." County Counsel Sarah Carrillo said the complexity of crafbng such an ordinance is compounded by the need tostrike a balance that works for the community as a whole, unclear guidelines &om the state and fear of the unknown.

Carrillo said the state isn' t expecting to have its guidelines in place until affer Jan. 1, 2018, leaving local jurisdictions in limbo. She isn't sure whether the state Legislature's approval of a bill that would remove a March 1 deadlinefor cities and counties to adopt their own regulations will affect the board's decision on Tuesday. "There are certainly people who have big issues with having marijuana plants next door to them, and other people who want that," she said. 'Vile want to do something that takes into account both sides."

Sonora blogger receives national attention for DIY creativity By LYDIA BROWNING The Union Democrat carrAU cr anaa

Sonora resident Jenna Diermann has received national attention for her interior design skills. Diermann,30,and herwork have been featured in print copies of West Elm catalog, Better Homes and Gardens special interest publications Do It Yourself and Real-Life Kitchens and Baths, Cottages and Bungalows, Jacksonville, Good Housekeeping, Country Living and HGTV magazines. "I was just born artistic, and I'm always into creating and designing and just art in general. It was in my blood," she said. "Both my parents are creative, and my sisters as well. It's just kind of in the family, so I knew I wanted to be a creator in some form." Diermann's notoriety began afier sheestablished an online Etsy shop in March 2011 to sell customized graphic designs. Her sales picked up largely when she started creating abstract graphic designs of city roads and maps that are printed on paper or canvas. Diermann, who has always been interested in travel, was inspired when, "one day I was looking on Google Maps of Chicago, and I just noticed how interesting the roads were and how they created an interesting pattern, and so I just started tracing the lines and started turning it into art." When she realized she could do it with other cities and that people were genuinely interested in her idea, she started an Etsy shop solely for those designs. She now has three Etsy shops — jennasuedesign, jennasuemaps and jennasuecityscapes. Starbucks contacted Diermann in 2013 about creating custom designs for the different cities in which they planned on launching stores. In 2013 and 2014, she created about seven or eightcity maps for the company to display in their stores. eNow everyone and their mother is doing abstract maps, so I kind of pioneered that movement, I would like to saya she said. After graduating high school in 2002, she moved to Sonora at 17 and spent a few years at Columbia College. At 20, Diermann decided to pursue graphic design and began attending Brooks Institute in Ventura. She graduated in 2008 with a bachelor' s degree in graphic design. Diermann worked as creative director for Creative Handbook in Toluca Lake for two years, where she worked with clients to create artwork for advertisements. Shortly after Diermann bought her first home in Burbank in 2008 is when her interior designing skills really took off. "Icouldn'tafford to hireanyone,soIlearned to do what I wanted myself, with a lot of trial and error," she said. When describing the process of learning, she said it was "basically a matter of finding inspira-

tion and figuring out how to recreate it in my own way. So, a lot of that was looking at other blogs and reading tutorials and practicing by trial-anderrorto fi gureitout." Diermann started herblog,blogjennasuedesign.corn, in 2011, where she posts mostly about her DIY projects. She gained attention from a handful of online and print publications when her pre-existing audience &om graphic design noticed her creativity throughherinterior design projectposts. Diermann boughther home in Sonora with her now-ex-husband Brad Diermann in November 2013. The house was 1970s-styled, and her mother, Susan Epperson, a realtor for Coldwell Banker, thought it was at first "nothing special." Now, however, the home has been featured in a handful of home publications and is described by Diermann as "farmhouse, cozy, cottage, cabin, rustic, vintage and comfortable." The first big renovation project — the kitchen — was started around Thanksgiving 2013, about three months before her February movein date. The complete renovation is still unfinished. Some of the biggests transformations in the home include the kitchen and laundry room. "The laundry room is the biggest before-andafterfor sure.Itw asnoteven a room before.It was like a weird storage closet with 7-foot ceilings and weird steps," Diermann said. The room now features a farmhouse sink, recessed washer and dryer, refinished countertops

and a barnhouse door made from new wood. Around the corner, a home theater was cre-

ated from scratch. The blacked-out room has leather couches, customized lighting and sound effectsfor a real"m ovie theater"experience. Diermann has also been featured online or in partnership with Country Living, House Beautiful, Woman's Day, Elle Decor, Good Housekeeping, West Elm, Better Homes and Gardens, This Old House, E Online, Design Sponge, Apartment Therapy, Diy Network, Conde Nast Traveler, Etsy, Starbucks Coffee and Disney Baby. Diermann plans to list her home for sale mid-

March so she can move to San Francisco and focus on her next artistic adventure. "I'm really big on sharing ideas and getting people thinking of certain things in different ways and creating beauty out of everyday details," she said. Diermann is taking a break from designing for now and is trying her hand at cinematography.She's working on a documentary about her grandmother's life. "I just know it's gonna take its own direction organically. I just want to continue making art in the best way that I know how, and to create something unique and different that catches people's attention and see where it goes from there," Diermann said.

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation. They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.corn

I have never been critical of her and still love her very much, but I think she could help herself if she wanted to. Should I let myself go to please her and make her feel better about herself? I think not, but what say you? —CONFUSED BY WIFE D EAR C O N F USED: Th i s shouldn't b e a b ou t l o oking younger, which only goes so far. It's about a healthier life. You already know that wearen'tgoing to tell you to sabotage your efforts simply because your wife is insecure. She is well-aware that exercising, along with curtailing her drinking and giving up

smoking,could make her appear younger, but she is unwilling to do that. The most you can do is reassure her that you love her and that she is beautiful in your eyes. Then ignore her complaints as best you can. Improving her health is a do-it-yourself project. If she is ever ready to tackle it, please be as supportive as you can. Meanwhile,you do not have to curtail family functions and other activities with friends because yourwife refuses to go. Go on your own. DEAR ANNIE: My dad retired from his job in his early 60s. Mom (now 90) was a stay-at-home wife and mother. She did all the cooking, cleaning, grass cutting, painting, sewing, mending, shopping, paying bills, chauffeuring, school conferences and just about anything else that needed to be done for the household. For three days after retiring, my

dad (now 88) just laid around watching television and asking my mom to "get me this and that," not lifting a jmger. Three days was enough for her. She promptly sat down next to him in her recliner and announced, "Sweetheart, starting today I am retired, too!" They never looked back. They share in everythmg and are still marriedafter nearly 69 years.My mama made her point: If Mama isn't happy, no one is happy.— B. DEAR B.: Your mama certainly didn't beat around the bush. Kudos to her. A nnie's Mailbox t s

Excess refined sugar should always be avoided DEAR DR. ROACK My husband' s recent lab work showed that he had aglucosereading of72 (82-115 is considered a healthyrange).Is this a precursor to diabetes? Should he bestaying away from refined sugar? His father had diabetes and had his leg amputated. I do not want this to happen to my husband. Please let me know if there is anything we can doto keep him in goodhealth. — D.H. ANSWER: Diabetes mellitus, sometimescalled "sugardiabetes,"iscaused by a lack of or resistance to insulin, eventually causing blood sugar to go up. Your husband's blood sugar is below the limits of the laboratory. If anything, it' s too low, not too high. A blood sugar that is too low is called "hypoglycemia," but I wouldn't be concerned about that diagnosis — 72 is considered normal in most laborator ies,andbloodthatsitsaround in the lab for a few hours before being run oken leads to an artificially low reading. I don't think you need to worry aboutdiabetesbased on thisreading. Everyone should stay away from excessrefined sugar,though, especially someone with a family history of diabe-

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. tes. A healthy diet, regular exercise and maintaining a good weight are the most effect iveways ofpreventing diabetes. Diabetes has become epidemic in North America. The booklet on it provides insight on its diagnosis and treatment. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach Book No. 402, 628 Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.SJ$6 Can. with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allowfourweeksfordelivery. DEAR DR ROACH: I often see mention of chronic cough in your column. I couldn't even eat out because I invariably coughed through the meal. I was embarrassed while shopping be-

cause of the way people looked at me, as though I was contagious. I had that problemfor ayear,and visited my own physician and three ENT physicians, with no help. I was treated for asthma and given many different inhalers and sprays. I finally found the solution when, after a year of coughing, I happened to read about the side effects of lisinopril, one being a chronic cough. I went off lisinopril, and the cough instantly disappeared. When I told my cardiologist, he called it the lisinopril cough and couldn't believe no other doctor had figured it out. I just think you should occasionally bring this side effect to the attention of the public. — I.L. ANSWER: Lisinopril, like all angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors

(ACE inhibitors, for short), may cause cough. This usually happens within a week or two of starting the medication, but the cough can show itself even after six months on the medication. About one person in 10 who takes the medication will get a cough, and the only real cure is to stop the medication. This stops the cough within a week for most,

but again, the resolution of the cough is sometimesdelayed. The other side effect of ACE inhibitors, which is much less common but much more serious, is angioedema. This usually shows up as swelling of the lips and tongue. It is a life-threatening emergency, requiring permanent discontinuation of the entire class of medication and an emergency-room visit. It is rare — only about three people per thousand who take the medication are affected — but is five times more common in people of African descent. Everyone who takes an ACE inhibitor (the generic names all end in "-pril," such as ramipril, enalapril and fosinopril) needs to know about these side effects.

Today in history Today is Saturday, Jan. 30, the 30th day of 2016. There are 336 days left in the year. Today's Highlights in History: On Jan. 30, 1945, during World War II, more than 500 Allied captives held at the Japanese prison camp in Cabanatuan (kah-bahnah-TOO'-ahn) in the Philippines were liberated by U.S. Army Rangers, Alamo Scouts and Filipino guerrilla fighters. Adolf Hitler marked the 12th anniversary of his appointment as Germany's chancellor with his last public speech in which he called on Germans to keep resisting until victory. On this date: In 1948, Indian political and spiritual leader Mohandas K. Gandhi, 78, was shot and killed in New Delhi by Nathuram Godse (nehtoo-RAHM' gahd-SAY'), a Hindu extremist. (Godse and a co-conspirator were later executed.) Aviation pioneer Orville Wright, 76, died in Dayton, Ohio. In 1968, the Tet Offensive began during the Vietnam War as Communist forces launched surprise attacks against South Vietnamese provincial capitals. In 2005, Iraqis voted in their country's first free election in a half-century; President George W. Bush called the balloting a resounding success. The downing of a C-130 military transport plane north of Baghdad killed all 10 British servicemen on board; the militant group Ansar al-Islam claimed responsibility. In Northern Ireland, Robert McCartney, 33, was fatally stabbed in a fight at a Belfast pub by members of the Irish Republican Army. Marat Safin defeated Lleyton Hewitt 1-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 to win the Australian Open.

He knows from the bidding that the suit is either 5-1 or 6-0. If it is 6-0, playing low to dummy's queen works fine. If the split is 5-1, that is also successful if East's singleton spade is at best the jack. But if East has the spade ace or king, South must duck the first spade trick. Which is the right play, and why? Remember the opening lead: If West had started with the spade ace-king and heart king-queen, he would have led the spade ace, not the heart king. So South should lead a spade from his hand and play low from the dummy.

The elbow had not been restricting him or keeping him from doinghisoff season program. General manager David Forst said the elbow had been bothering Vogt on and off for a couple of weeks, so Vogt underwent an MRI exam that showed the bone chip.

Jake Land dribbled upcourt Friday night for Calaveras just 2 minutes into the third quarter with the Redskins holding a 24-19 lead over the Sonora Wildcats. Land moved to his left and had his eyes on the Sonora basket. A simple touch ofhis hand on his chin put the plan in motion. Moments after Land nonchalantly grazed his chin with his right hand, Brandon Kline, the Redskins' 6-foot 8 senior center,m ade a backdoor move towards the bucket.

The Redskins ended the half on a 6-0 run to tie the game at 19. ''We knew we played bad in the first half," said Calaveras senior Dylan Byrd, who along with teammate Caleb Hodgson, was battling the flu. 'We had a lotof offensive errors. We knew we could score more than 19 points. We also knew we had some things on defense that we had to clean up." Though his team only scored 19 first half points, Sonora head coach Dan Dona was pleased with the defensive effort ofhis players. "I thought we played great defense in the first half," Dona said. 'They were trying to get the ball inside and we played really tough defense inside. They couldn't get an easy shot. Max (Walker) was doing a good job against their big. But, they are bigger and they just push you in the back and shove you underneath the boards and get rebounds." If Dona was pleased with the first half performance of his defense, that quickly changed to begin the third quarter. Calaveras went on a 7-0 run, which included the Land to Kline alley-oop. The run was capped after Kline blocked a shot so hard that the ball went back toward the Sonora basket and Land picked up the loose ball for an easy layup. The Redskins continued to add to their lead and following a Kline rebound and basket, led 39-26. ''We came out a little soR to start the game," Kline said.

Herpes outbreak puts Phoenix racetrack under quarantine PHOENIX (AP) — A Phoenix racetrack's horses remained under quarantine Friday as officials worked to get the upper hand on an equine herpes outbreak that has infected more than a dozen horses in New Mexico. One horse had to be euthaiuzed this week at Turf Paradise in north Phoenix,

manager Vincent Francia said. The horse was one of three that arrived Jan. 20 from Sunland Park, New Mexico. The other two are under isolation for 21 days. So far, they show no signs of the When the facility first learned horses in Sunland Park were testing positive for the virus, the three horses were tested. Francia said a nasal swab came back negative for all three and the animal seemed fine. Then one, a mare, was suddenly unable to stand Wednesday. She eventually had to be put down. The horse's body was sent to a lab in Tucson for testing. Though the results won't be available for a week, Turf Paradise sta6' immediately enacted measures to disinfect anything that comes in contact with the horses. Workers have been sanitizing everything in stable stalls including the walls, tack supplies and even water buckets. Even the starting gates have had to be cleaned. Jockeys will have to use Chlorox wipes on their hands and disinfect their riding boots after each race. Only essential personnel such as veterinarians will be allowed in the stables, Francia said.

there are few better avenues for impacting the lives of young men, and I am certain that there is no better place to do that than the University of Notre Dame," he said. Kelly upset some Irish fans when he interviewed for the head coaching job with the Philadelphia Eagles immediately aAer the Irish were routed 42-14 byAlabama 42-14 in the national championship three years ago. But he told reporters last month in the days leading up to the Fiesta Bowl that he wasn't curious anymore about coaching in the NFL. Kelly is 55-23 at Notre Dame, a winning percentage of .705, which is markedly better than his three

predecessors, butwellbehind famed Irish coaches Rockne (.881), Leahy (.855), Parseghian (.836) and Holtz (.765). He also has not won a national championship. His career winning percentage of .737 ranks seventh among active FBS coaches. He has led the Irish to six straight winning seasons and six straight bowl games, going 3-3 in those games. Kelly originally signed a five-year contract at Notre Dame, then signed a two-year extension before the 2012 season and a five-year contract beforethe startofthe 2013 season. The Irish, who finished 10-3 and ranked No. 11 last season, open the 2016 season at Texas on Sept. 3.

came more than two weeks

After he transferred to Auburn, the NCAA suspended Newton briefly in 2010 while i nvestigating whether h i s father Cml had requested $180,000 on his son's behalf Rom someone acting as agent — in return for Cam enrolling at Mississippi State. However, the NCAA overturned the suspension and Newton went on to lead to the Tigers a national championship and the Heisman Trophy in his only season for the Tigers. ''We all make mistakes. By yet, it's all about how you rebound from that mistake instead of just giving up," Newton said. Miller, who no longer carriesallthose extra pounds, agrees with the Panthers quarterback.

The league changed its drug policy in 2014. Instead of perpetually being one strike — even a missed urine test

— away &om a lifetime ban &om the NFL, Miller was dischargedfrom the league's drugprogram lastsummer after staying clean for two years. So, the anvil turned into a carrot.

The man Broncos general manager John Elway calls ''the best football player on the planet" is one win shy of winning a world championship. Miller long ago accepted Newton getting to hug the commissioner first on draft night. What he wants now is to beat Newton to the stage to shake Roger Goodell's hand while accepting the Lombardi Trophy.

After tears in Sochi, Gut challenging Vonn for title CORTINA D'AM PE ZZO, Italy (AP) — When Lindsey Vonn eclipsed the career record for downhill wins last weekend, she and runner-up Larisa Yurkiw took turns spraying each other with champagne. Swiss rival Lara Gut, the thirdplace finisher, stood to the side. As Vonn's only real challenger for skiing's overall World Cup title this season,Gut — it' s clear to seewon't be satisfied with anything but beating the American. "She's got it in her blood. She' s a thoroughbred,"Gut's father and coach, Pauli, said in an interview. Lara Gut's behavior in Cortina

''When you finish 10 hundredths back and you know that you made a mistake up top it's frustrating," Pauli Gut said. This season, however, has been more rewarding than frustrating for the Guts. With four wins spread across three disciplines — giant slalom, Alpine combined and downhill — Lara Gut is only 45 points behind Vonn entering Saturday's giant slalom in Maribor, Slovenia. While Vonn has been dominating was a reminder of how she cried in the speed events of downhill and disappointment after taking the super-G, Lara Gut has been better bronze medal in the downhill at at giant slalom and they have been the 2014 Sochi Olympics — finish- trading the overall lead &om week-

sive considering that she switched equipment in the offseason, leaving Rossignolafter four seasons for Head — the same company that supplies Vonn. Retired downhill standout and fellow Swiss skier Didier Cuche helped with the transition. "I think it was a good choice. I'm skiing faster than last year, so it paid off," Lara Gut said. "Didier has been working a lot on the skis. I asked him if he was ready to help me and he agreed, so it was interesting." Lara Gut's new ski technician is

Chris Krause, who helped Cuche to four World Cup downhill titles and also worked for Bode Miller briefly. "I have a perfect technician who knows the skis so well," Lara Gut said. "So it was just me the one who had no idea. Didier knew, Chris knew, so they helped me a lot." The Guts, therefore, are relying on an American, Krause, to beat Vonn. ''We' re all professionals and everyone is just trying to do their job and have the fastest equipment possible," Pauli Gut said. Vonn's technician, Heinz Haemmerle, also calls it a &iendly rivalry. After all, both he and Krause work

have the fastest skis and I do the same thing.... We work together and we tell each other everything. On training runs you tell what you had on. We talk about what he's trying and what I'm trying." The overall champion will likely be determined at the World Cup finals in St. Moritz, Switzerland, in March. At 31, Vonn could become the oldest woman to win the title — which would be her fifth large crystal globe. The 24-year-old Gut is seeking her first such title, and if she clinches it on home snow there will likely be no for the same company. holding back in the champagne cel"(Chris) is doing a great job and I ebration.
