Claudia Andona, a 5-year-old girl Murphys, will achieve a career goal millions of professional models can only dreamabout ... walking the runway at Nela York FashionWeek. By JASON COWAN The Union Democrat

By LACEY PETERSON

June Andona was nervous for her 4-year-old daughter. She said while preparing Claudia Andona for her debut on the fashion runway during Los Angeles Fashion Week in October, they went to a designer show to get a feel. What they found was a lot of intimidation. "When you walk on a runway, it's very loud. It's like walking into a club. For a 4-year-old, the noise could be very hard," said Andona, of Murphys. "She was getting a little timid." By the time it came for her daughter to walk one day later, Claudia blossomed. Andona said her daughter stole the show, walking down the runway looking more like a professional than someone who might have only taken her first steps three years earlier. "People were smiling from ear to ear from the moment she walked out,n Andona said. "The crowd went wild." Claudia, now 5, did so well that she will be doing it next week in New York. After walking for Nancy Vuu, a kids couture designer, in Los Angeles. Claudia will walk for Vuu again,

Famous faces to promote NPS anniversary By GUY McCARTHY

People who run Yosemite National Park said they are preparingfor the 100th anniversary ofthe ¹ tional Park Service on Aug. 25, 2016, and they' re touting some famous names to help them do it. Park administrators have named several "centennial ambassadors," including mountaineer-author Conrad Anker, big wall climbers Tommy Caldwell, Beth Rodden and Timmy O' Neill, and international soccer star Megan Rapinoe. Anker, 53, is known among climbers and alpinists for first ascents in the Himalaya and Antarctica, and for leading the 1999 expedition that located remains of 1920s Everest pioneer George Mallory high on the world's tallest mountain. Anker grew up climbing and backpacking in Tuolumne County and Yosemite National Park. His folks own Priest Station Cafe at the top of Old Priest Grade. Caldwell, 37, of Estes Park, Colorado, is known for speed climbs, free climbs without aid, and 6rst ascents in Yosemite Valley and elsewhere. In January 2015, he and Kevin Jorgesen, 31, of Santa Rosa, completed the first free ascent of the Dawn Wall. Billed as the hardest big-wall free climb in the world, the event brought international news media to Yosemite. Rodden, 35, of San Francisco, is known for several female firsts, becoming the youngest woman to climb at a rating of 5.14a when she was 18, a first all-female ascent with Lynn Hill of Madagascar's Tsaranoro Massif in 1999, the first free ascent of Lurking Fear on El Capitan with Caldwell in 2000, and the 6rst ascent of Meltdown on Yosemite's Upper Cascade Falls in 2008.

and 6lmmaker DaytonDuncan, author Terry Tempest Williams, news anchor Ken Bastida and YosemiteConservancy president and CEO Frank Dean. Park Service people said the Yosemite ambassadors will share their stories of "love and commitment" for the park at yet-to-be-scheduled events and on social media, "helping the park to attract new stewards and supporters." The Park Service centennial this year is the third year in a row Yosemite National Park is observing a milestone. On June 30, 2014, Yosemite administrators touted the 150th anniversary of the Yosemite Grant, billed today as "the birth of the national park idea." Oct. 1, 2015 was the 125th anniversary of the creation of Yosemite National Park. This year is the 100th anniversary of the Act creating the National Park Service. Known as the Organic Act, it was signed Aug. 25, 1916, by President Woodrow Wilson. Yosemite National Park is billed as an economic engine for the Central Sierra Nevada as well as gateway communities from Groveland to Lee Vining. Park administrators said Yosemite tourism and other business generates $535 million in economic bene6t to the region and supports more than 6,200 jobs. In spiteofincreased entrance fees in 2015,visitation at Yosemite National Park reached a recordhigh of 4,139,300 last year, exceeding the previous high mark set in 1996, according to data released last week.

Sandra "Sandy" Rae Mannini was born on August 29, 1934 in Los Angeles. She passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on January 14, 2016 at Sonora Regional Medical Center. She was 81 years old. Sandy was born to John and Hilda White and grew up in Whittier where she attended Whittier High School and Fullerton J.C. The family moved to San Luis Obispo in 1953 and she worked as a secretary for California Polytechnic State University, where she met the love of her life, Richard "Dick" Mannini, who was also a student at the school. Dick was always by Sandy's side through their 58 years of marriage. Sandy was a loving wife, mom. grandmother, greatgrandmother, sister, aunt and dear friend to many. Sandy and Dick had a wonderful partnership based on a deep love and devotion to each other. After retirement they moved from Sunnyvale to Twain Harte in 1997, and then to Sonora in 2015. In her younger years, Sandy was involved in Job's Daughters, a Girl Scout mom and later was a member of the Newcomers Club, the Etceteras, Figli d'Italia and very heavily involved with the Black Hat Foundation, both as a member and chair of the Ticket Committee for the annual Black and White Charity Ball. Sandy worked for many years as a secretary for the Oak Grove School District in San Jose, Hibernia Bank in Walnut Creek, and Mission College Fire Science in Santa Clara. Sandy was well known for being a caring, giving, compassionate and loving person. She loved hosting get-togethers, giving many football dinners and being her husband's biggest cheerleader in supporting his 40 years of coaching. She loved to knit, cook, sew and work on crafts in her own craft room. Her smile, sense of humor, loving personality and companionship will be sorely missed. Sandy is survived by her loving husband, Dick Mannini; her daughters and their husbands, Denise and Steve Walker of San Jose, Jan and Pat Ertola of Martinez, and Lisa and Brad Schultz of Sonora; her eight grandchildren, Megan and Kirk Meyer, Kevin and Greg Walker of San Jose, Anthony, Kelsey and Nicholas Ertola of Martinez, and Kyle and Nicole Schultz of Sonora; her two great-grandchildren, Nathan and Emily Meyer of San Jose; and her sister and brother-inlaw, Jodie and Rod Mitchell of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and brother and sister-in-law Bob and Sylvia Mannini, of New Hampshire.

"Do you ever get the feeling," asked humorist Robert Orben, "that the only reason we have elections is to find out if the polls were right?" But even after real, live Americans actually do vote in Iowa and New Hampshire, somehow we always seem to be left with more winners than los-

ers. Because you, dear readers, are busy enough, your faithful correspondent offers this translation of what the predictable statements of campaign 2016 do in truth mean. Predictable statement No. 1: We were clear from the first day: This race in not a dash. It's a marathon. Delegates are the name of the game, and these first two states represent a mere 53 out of 2,472 convention delegates. 98 percent of the delegates are yet to be chosen. We' re in this for the long haul. What it means: A spokesperson is speaking about a candidate who finished out of the money in the actual voting in both Iowa and New Hampshire: Predictable statement No. 2: Iowa and New Hampshire, with more farms than minorities, are not America in 2016. The biggest city between them has fewer people than Gilbert, Arizona, or Boise, Idaho. What can anyone say in defense of a place where their idea of wine and cheese is Velveeta and muscatel? What it means: A nationally prominent East Coast pundit was dead wrong in his predictions about who would win the first two contests and is now trying to save face. Predictable statement No. 3: When ordinary, hard-working Americans who take both their politics and their responsibility seriously dare to defy the disdainfulness of their social superiors and brave February's frozen tundra to vote in such impressive numbers, America should listen closely. Because they are saying, "We can do better." What it means: A TV commentator is proud to have correctly predicted the winner. A reality check for everyone: These first two states do in fact decide who will not be elected president. In the last 11 national elections, no presidential candidate who competed in Iowa and New Hampshire and who did not win one or both states has ever gone on to win the White House in November. Every candidate, no matter how far back in the field he ends up, insists that, somehow, he has done "better than expected." These campaigns must really set their sights very low. How else could a miserable, eighth-place finish still qualify as "better than expected"? I will happily wear the bumper sticker of any candidate who confesses that he actually did "worse than expected." A closing note: Running for public office, we should remember, is a very human experience. Most people who run for president are individuals already with records of significant accomplishments. Many have been successful governors or senators who have led important causes or written serious

laws; others are former military leaders who have led troops into battle. But as we see again, most who do run lose. It' s all voluntary, of course, but there are families and loved ones who feel the pain of such public defeat. "It takes a lot of guts to stick your neck out and run for any public office," Robert Strauss, the late Democratic leader, wisely observed. "But the only thing that's tougher than announcing for office is withdrawing from a race, because when you drop out you are saying that you are quitting and that you' re beaten." Losing is almost always painfully public and publicly painful. Mark Shields is a syndicated columnist and a political analyst for the NerasHour on PBS.

GUEST COLUMN

The honorable thing in New Hampshire N ew Hampshire m ay well be the end of the campaign trail for more GOP hopefuls, as Iowa was for Rand Paul, Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee. All three ran largely positive campaigns and comported themselves with d i gnity and grace when they bowed o ut. U n fortunately, t h e same can't be said for some of those hanging on by a thread in New Hampshire. C hris Christie and J e b Bush, in particular, have decided their best chance to stay in the race is to attack other candidates. Chris Christie seems to be revertingto form as a guy with a mean streak, something he has mostly avoidedin the debates. He is at his best when he channels his anger toward terrorists and worst when he demeans his fellow Republicans. His comments this week about Marco Rubio make Christie, not Rubio, look bad. Calling Rubio the "boy inthe bubble" made me think of the Bubble Boy episode of "Seinfeld." But the bully on the TV show, who shouted and namecalled from inside his bubble, seemed a lot more like Chris Christie than Marco Rubio. Christie has been

a real model for change by enacting the first voucher program for kids attending failing schools (though it was later shut down by the courts); and he cut taxes. But despite his stellar

ing advice to go negative, w hich doesn't suit h i m well. B ush won't wi n N e w H ampshire and h e m ay not even place. He's running fifth in the last three state polls. He's still got the money to stay in the race for a while,but it's hard to envision a scenario in which he can become the nominee. So the question becomes for him, how does he want to end his political career? He's not a sitting governor, as Christie and Kasich are, nor a senator, like Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio (who is retiring), which means he has no chance to redeem his political reputation when he fails to win the nomination. As someone who admires Jeb Bush — and who has tremendous personal affection for his whole family, who are among the most decent people I' ve ever met in politics — I hope that he will listen to his conscience and not those who

is teaming up with Christie to try to knock Rubio out in New Hampshire make Bush seem like a sore loser, not the honorable man he' s always been. And it's not only Rubio that Bush is going after through his super PACs. (Yes, yes. I know Bush and the super PACs can't coordinate. But it's a distinction without a difference.) Bush went after John Kasich, too, when the Ohio governor looked like he was g aining traction in N ew Hampshire. And he's even tried to t ake on T rump (though I'm not sure that qualifies as a violation of President Reagan's Eleventh Comm a ndment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican" ). If Bush, Christie or Kasich fare poorly in N ew Hampshire, I h ope they will do the right thing. The same goes for Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina. Hanging on hoping you can take another candidate down

UN calls for easing abortion restrictions RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — In a sign of mounting global concern over the Zika virus, health officials on Friday warned pregnant women to think twice about the lips they kiss and called on men to use condoms with pregnant partners if they have visited countries where the virus is present. U.N. officials also called on many Catholic-majority countries in Latin America to loosen their abortion laws to allow women to terminate pregnancies if they fear the fetus may be at risk fora rarebirth defectthatcausesbrain damage andan abnormally small head, which may be linked to the virus.

He said that calls for pregnant women to take special precautions, and suggested they avoid kissing people other than a regular partner or sharing cut lery, glasses and plates with people who have symptoms of the virus. 'This is not a generalized public health measure, for the love of God," he added, stressing both the seriousness of the discovery and reality that it was too soon to say how it could impact the epidemic. 1Yiday's announcement coincided with the start of Carnival, a five-day bacchanalia that sees millions of people take part in alcohol-fueled parties where kissing as many people as possible is a top pastime. Gadelha underscoredthat the discovery needn't alter

He alsostressed that theAedes aegpyti mosquito, which spreads dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever as well as Zika, remains the virus' main vector and said the fight against the mosquito shouldbe a top priority. The Fiocruz team studied samples &om two patients who showed symptoms of Zika and tested positive for the illness. Tests on cell cultures showed the virus in the samples was capable of damaging the cells, meaning it was active. M yrna Bonaldo, who headed the Fiocruz team behind the discovery, said she was particularly surprised the virus was found in urine because Zika is generally thought not to thrive in acidic mediums. "Each discovery is a surprise and a new find for us," she said. "For us scientists, it's extremely challenging to understand Zika virus."

Smoking is also prohibited within 20 feet of a government-owned building. It also deals with how air should be filtered in places where there is smoking. The code is why there is no smoking allowed in restaurants, because employees work there and smoking affects public health, Ortiz said. Aside from businesses not being allowed to sell tobacco to minors, there aren't any city or county ordinances that limit the density of tobacco retailers or to limit how close tobaccoretailers can be to schools, Herrera said. Many cities and counties in California have passed ordinances that

"Anything unless it's an FDA approved,prescribed medicine for your lung condition, is bad for you to inhale," Ortiz said. In terms of secondhand smoke, even just smelling the cigarette smoke is enough to be harmed. Third-hand smoke, which is the residue from smoking found on

hair, clothing, hands, furniture, bedding and walls, is harmful, especially to infants and children. The Public Health Department routinely does education and out-

reach in the community, including to placeslike daycares and preschools to talk about the dangers of third-hand smoke, Herrera said. While the county may have failed the smoking study, "it's an opportunity for improvement," Or-

Erika Hagstrom-Dossi, of Sonora (above), creates detailed organic hand-made clothing in the style of Alabama Chanin and believes in the philosophy behind it so strongly that she teaches classes to pass along her knowledge. Hagstrom-Dossi salvaged a stained skirt by covering the stain with an Alabama Chanin-style applique (left). HagstromDossi holds a dress, one of her favorites, that she created by hand (below).

What is an avid gardener to do in the dead of winter when it's cold, wet, and most plants are asleep? Here are a few ideas for outdoor and indoor activities that will help you plan and prepare for spring: Continue leaf litter cleanup — While fallen leaves are a greatcompost material,a solid, wet, airless mass of whole leaveson top of garden soil may be a breeding ground for disease. If you want to protect plantroots &om frost,classic mulching material such as wood chips may be a better choice. Put the undecomposed leaf litter in your compost pile. Start composting — Making your own soil is a magical thing. And there is a composting method for everyone, whether you opt for a small, convenient plastic t u mbler

just outside your kitchen door or go big-time with a large outdoor system. For a basic primer on composting, visit this Central Sierra Master Gardener web page:httpJ/ cecentralsierra.ucanr.org/ files/114706.pdf Prune while plants are asleep — Winter is the dormant season for most trees,

shrubs and perennials, so this is the time to trim or prune. The University of California Cooperative Extension has a number of helpfulpruning guidelines on its website: www.ucanr.edu. Our l ocal UCCE Master Gardener office also has pruning tips handouts. Call (209) 5335912. Start aging manure now — If you'd like to use 'fresh" manure in your garden come spring planting time, put it somewhere in the landscape now where it can age for one to two months before use. Fresh manures, especially nutrient-rich chicken manure, are too "hot" to use in a planting hole, as they might burn tender roots. Plants can-

Sonora woman shares

passion for unique style of handsewing By LYDIA BROWNING The Union Democrat

A Sonora woman has brought a new style of sewing to the community.

Erika Hagstrom-Dossi, the program coordinator for the Smile Keepers program for The Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Office, has offered classes on Alabama Chanin hand sewing since November 2014. Alabama Chanin is a company in Florence, Alabama, that teaches a style of hand sewing that is dedicated to producing quality, long-lasting clothing. The company, founded in the early 2000s, values and maintains sustainable practices while using 100 percent organic cotton jersey fabric. Hagstrom-Dossi received her first Alabama Chanin book from her sister five years ago and described the style of clothing as "boho, comfortable and eco." ''What attracts me so much to this company is the commitment to 100 percent sustainability and how they try to be a zero waste company," she said. Hagstrom-Dossi over the years has made blankets, pillowcases and stuffed dolls and animals out of her scrap materials. "It's all a combination of using what you have, and this work does generate a lot of scraps. I wanted to not just continue buying more. It's about keeping things local, holding onto what you have for a long time and repairing what you have instead of just tossing it," she said. While any fabric purchased directly from Alabama Chanin is 100percent organiccotton,thepatterns provided by the company can be made out of shirts, cotton jersey sheets or other materials. "I scour the thrift stores for good quality materials. You'd be surprised at what you can find," Hagstrom-Dossi said. See SEWING/Page B2

Each three-hour Introduction to Hand Sewing class costs $55, not including the cost of supplies. Classes have been held at the Sonora School of Sewing, the Indigeny Reserve and at the Mason Bar Company. For students who complete the introductory class, Hagstrom-Dossi periodicallyoffersclasses on more advanced Alabama Chanin sewing techniques. Students are encouraged to buy one of the four books published by the Alabama Chanincompany,but the books are not required. "I encourage my students to tell people if you' re wearing whatyou made.

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

Wife wants more from her 'Mr. Nice Guy' DEAR ANNIE: All of my life, I' ve heard about the "golden years."Why are mine only black and gray? I have been married to my husband for40 years.He hasnotbeen sexually capable for half that time. I understand that, but he also does not want to kiss me, hold me, talk to me, go to bed with me or get up in the morning with me. He puts his arm around my shoulders only in church. Everyone in town considers him "Mr. Nice Guy." He takes care of widows, single women, the older gentleman he works with and our daughter and grandchildren — particularly the oldest grandson and our only granddaughter. He doesn't pay much attention to our son. I have retired twice, but being ignored has hurt so much that I have gone back to work again. I have begged him to talk with me, but he' d rather watch TV. Everyone wants to be special at some time in his or her life, Annie, and I am almost suicidal. I want out. It hurts so much to not be

Annie's Mailbox loved that I would prefer to live alone. It's painful to sit and read, hoping that he will notice me. I know that not all men are like this because I see others kissing and embracing their wives, and I hear their wives talk about their romantic lives. I have been faithful, sharing and supportivefor allofthese years. I have never asked him for anything. What can I do except to play solitaire and cry? — A. DEAR A.: Has your husband always been like this? His lack of affection does not necessarily mean that he doesn't love you. Butifhe does, he obviously doesn'tknow how to express it and seems unwilling to learn. No one deserves to be so unhappy

The largest was 10 mm in diameter,

another 8 mm, then many small ones. He did not know what the nodules were — perhaps the result of a fungal infection (we live close to the east coast of Lake Michigan and have a higher incidence of fungal lung infections in our area). I' ve since had two follow-up CT scans,

TO YOUI'

Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. and the nodules have not changed, either in size or in quantity. I am due for another CT scan six months after the last one, which will be my fourth in approximately 15 months. The doctor recommended continuing with the standard protocol, which called for another CT scan in six months ("just to keep on eye on those nodules" ). So, no biopsy, at least for now. The charge that I saw from the hospital for the PET scan with contrast was $9,000. My co-pay for the PET scan was $225. It is my belief that I am getting excellent care and advice. I am now working daily, in a number of ways, on improving my overall wellness: physical, emotional and spiritual. I

am grateful for all that I have.— A.O. ANSWEIt Despite the seeming low price of the initial scan, the follow-up scans have been very expensive, had no demonstrable benefit to you andhave given you a fairdose of radiation. A few people in your situationwould have had a nodule grow, requiring it to be removed, and possibly been saved from lung cancer. However, the number of people who need many follow-up scans and never need surgery is large compared with the number who get their cancer potentially cured. The best news of all is that you quit smoking, but some people use a negative scan as an excuse to keep smoking. We don't know

for the rest of her life. We know this sounds like a broken record, but counseling will help you. Tell your husband you need to find out whether the marriage is worth saving. Explain exactly why you are ready to leave. Ask him to go with you for counseling to work on the problem, but if he refuses, go alone. DEAR ANNIE: I am writing to addressa problem that seems to be getting worse. As a youngdriver,I observed that other drivers on the road would flash their high beams at another driver to

let that person know their high beams were on by mistake. But nowadays, it is more common for drivers to simply turn their high beams on and leave them shining in the person's windshield until the ofFending driver turns their own high beams down. This strikes me as veryrude and is probably a refl ection of asociety that is increasingly more prone to road rage.

Today in history Today is Saturday, Feb. 6, the 37th day of 2016. There are 329 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Feb. 6, 1911, Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, was born in Tampico, III. On this date: In 1778, the United States won official recognition from France with the signing of a Treaty of Alliance in Paris. In 1788, Massachusetts became the sixth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. In 1899, a peace treaty between the United States and Spain was ratified by the U.S. Senate. In 1933, the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, the so-called "lame duck" amendment, was proclaimed in effect by Secretary of State Henry Stimson. In 1952, Britain's King George Vl died; he was succeeded by his daughter, Elizabeth II. In 1959, the United States successfully test-fired for the first time a Titan intercontinental ballistic missile from Cape Canaveral. In 1978, Muriel Humphrey took the oath of office as a United States senator from Minnesota, filling the seat of her late husband, former Vice President Hubert Humphrey. In 1991, comedian and television performer Danny Thomas died in Los Angeles at age 79. In 1992, 16 people were killed when a C-130 military transport plane crashed in

Please remind your readers that it is much kinder to simply flash the high beams rather than locking them in. Courtesy is not that difficult.

Thank you.— PENNSYLVANIA DEAR PENNSYLVANIA: We' re going to assume that those who shine their high beams into another car simply do not understand appropriate road etiquette. You clickthem on and offa couple of times, folks, and that's it. It alerts the other driver that their beams areon high (or their headlights aren't on at all). Don't belabor the point.

Cheap screenings must be weighed against benefit DEAR DK ROACK Two years ago, Itook advantage of our local $99 low-dose CT scan for smokers at high risk of lung cancer (I certainly fit the criteria). Still smoking, I had the scan, and it was reported to me that they had "seen something" and wanted to do a follow-up PET scan. I quit smoking completely, cold turkey, the day before the PET scan, and have beencigarette-free ever since. Vividly, I remember telling myself for many years as I smoked that not if but when I met with the lung cancer doctor, I would not be a smoker. The doctor told me that "nothing lit up," therefore I did not have cancer. They did, however, see a number of nodules all on one side of my lung.

South I want to feel that my readers do identify with 47 the bidding and play points of each deal. In toV K64 3 day's example, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads the heart eight? South was right to open one club despite 4 A K J 1 0 87 only 11 high-card points; that excellent club suit was worth a couple more points.

South starts with six top tricks: one spade, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs. Another three winners can come from clubs, but if the break in that suit is bad, declarer might need a hand entry after driving out the club queen. What is that entry'? It has to be the heart king. So South must win the first trick with dummy's heart ace. Then he runs the club nine, which West should duck. But declarer continues clubs and must end with nine tricks: one spade, two hearts, one diamond and five clubs. If, at trick one, South plays dumrn's heart jack and wins with his king, he can lead a low club, but West should duck because he needs to cut off South from his hand.

that can measure up, or at

least try. Hormel Chili has created a "Chili Bowl 50" that includes 50 ingredients for fans to cook up for Sunday's game. This recipe includes instant espresso powder, coriander, oregano and even cinnamon, and the chili also features plenty of vegetables with butternut squash, three different bell peppers, kale and corn, too.

The company says it sells more than 6 mill ion pounds of chili i n the two weeks before the Super Bowl, which would cover thefi eld at Levi's Stadium where Denver and Carolina are playing Sunday. Sales are strongest in Atlanta; Knoxville and Memphis, Tennessee; and Mississippi, with fans planning parties earlier and stocking up on chili. New Leaf on life: Former Chargers and Cowboys quarterback Ryan Leaf made the rounds through radio row at Super Bowl week, stopping for multiple interviews. Smiling. Leaf, the No. 2 pick in the 1998 draft out of Washington State a nd right behind No. 1 Peyton Manning, had a forgettable career that included just parts of three NFL seasons. He can relate to Cleveland q u arterback Johnny Manziel's struggles. He passed for 3,666 yards and 14 touchdowns i n 25 games, with 2 1 starts.

The 39-year-old Leaf w as released from a Montana prison in December 2014. He served more than two years after breaking into a home near Great Falls in 2012 to steal prescription pills, and for violating his probation. Leaf attended the Super Bowl festivities with his girl&iend, who is from the Bay Area. He is now living in L o s A ngeles, sharing his story to help others. Keeping it real: Each of the more than 100 footballs that will be used in the Super Bowl will be "tagged" with a specially prepared synthetic DNA ink that leaves an invisible-to-the-naked-eye securitymark to protect against possible counterfeiting. The sideline p ylons and the coin used for the game-opening toss will also be marked. T he league will u se PSA/DNA Authentication Services of Santa Ana, California, to certify all footballs used in Super Bowl 50. A PSA/DNA representative will mark each ball with a s ynthetic DNA strand that can be seen only when illuminated by a specific laser frequency.

Jay Kornegay still finds it painful to talk about the last time the Denver first snap of the game went over Peyton Manning's head for a Seattle safety. Forsome reason,alotofbettorsatthe Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook had put money on a 60-1 longshot that the first score of the games for the Seahawks would be that safety. "It cost us a healthy six figures in the first six seconds of the game," Kornegay said. "Luckily we ended up making it up. Such is the way with so-called "prop" bets, which tantalize bettors with promises of big payoffs. Unlike point spreads and money lines they can vary wildly from sports book to sports book, and sometimes bookies can take a bath. At the Westgate there are nearly 400 such bets on the board this year, with wagers available on everything &om if Manning will throw a touchdown or interception first to whether Panthers receiver Ted Ginn Jr. has a rushing attempt.

Kornegay says at least half of what he expectscould be a record-setting handle on the Super Bowl will be on the props, with the average fan betting four or five of them along with money on the traditional point spread. Since casual fans like to bet on things to happen — the "yeso on many of the props — Kornegay and other bookies say a Super Bowl game without much action could be a big winner for them.

Similarly, seven of the past nine Super Bowl MVPs — and more than half ever, 27 of 49were QBs.

Oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro is credited with helping start the trend toward prop bets, thanks to one big loss he took while running the MGM Grand sports book in 1985. It came when William nRe&igerator" Perry, the bruising 325-pound lineman for the Bears who had rushed the ball a few times during the year, scored from the 1-yard-line in the third quarter of a blowout win over New England.

Louisvi lle announces po son ban formen's hoops LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The president of Louisville announced a one-year postseason ban Friday for the Cardinals men's basketball team amid ongoing investigations into a sex scandal, a decision that stunned

coach Rick Pitino. President James Ramsey said at a news conference that an investigation revealedviolations did occur when the school reviewed allegations by an escort that a former LouisviHe staffer paidher and other dancers to strip and have sex with recruits and players.

Ramsey said the ban is for aH postseason tournaments, including the NCAA and the Atlantic Coast Conference tournaments. The president said he received the latest results of the investigation on Thursday, but noted the review of the allegations is continuing. "We found out yesterday that we had a problem," said athletic diIector Tom Jurich. While it is unclear if Louisville will implement additional selfimposed penalties if its investigation uncovers more violations, the

with more sanctions. Pitino was not consulted about the decision but the coach said he was "a soldier in this army, and I do what the generals say." That does not mean he agreed with the move. 'This is a punishment I never thought would have happened this season," said Pitino, who also attended the news conference with Ramsey, Jurich and former NCAA investigator Chuck Smrt. This is as harsh as anything I' ve ever seen in college basketbaH." The Cardinals (18-4, 7-2 ACC) are currently are ranked No. 19 and scheduled to play Boston College on Saturday. They would have been a lock for a tournament berth if they had not won the league title. The 63-year-old Pitino has denied knowledge of allegations in a book by Katina PoweH that former director of men's basketball operations Andre McGee paid$10,000 for 22 shows performed by her and other strippers, including three ofher daughters.
