The same Texas-based developer behind the Jamestown andSoulsbyvill e stores, Cross Development, and the failed bid in Columbia, hopes to buildat least two more stores in Tuolumne County, in Don Pedro and Groveland or Big Oak Flat, according to county planners. Mila Aljamili, manager of Don Pedro Market at Highway 132 and Las Moras Street in Don Pedro, said she is worried a Dollar General store will kill her business. The Don Pedro area is rural and sparsely populated with few stores. Don Pedro Market sell s groceries,hardware, propane and gasoline. "It's going to be very close t o us," Aljamili said in a phone interview Monday. "It'sabout 500 feet.It'sreally close." Aljamili said she plans to publicly oppose having a Dollar General so close to her business. "We' re trying to file a petition with the county," Aljamili said. "There's no way

THE UNIONDEMOCRAT

Sonora council to vote on pot regs By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

Sonoraleaders are scheduled to vote on an ordinance later today that would allow medical marijuana patients who live within the city limits to grow up to six plants at their homes, but some say the proposedrules go toofar. The Sonora City Council meets at 5 p.m. at City Hall, 94 N. Washington St., to consider the proposed regulations on medical marijuana, as well as potential mid-year budget adjustments and a 2 percent raise for City Administrator Tim Miller. City residents, advocates for medicinal cannabis and elected officials have expressed concerns that Sonora's proposed regulationsare too restrictive. The ordinance includes provisions to ban indoor growing and require cultivation to occur inside an opaque, fully enclosedstructure apart from a person's primary residence, such as a shed. In addition, a special permit from the city's Community Development Department would be required to cultivatemarijuana for medical reasons. Medical marijuana dispensaries would still be banned. When the ordinance was introduced at a Feb. 1 council meeting, City Attorney Byron Smith described the proposed regulationsas reasonable. The councilvoted 3-2 to introduce the ordinanceforpossible approval attonight's meeting. Councilmen Jim Garaventa and Bill Canning, who were opposed, suggested sending the ordinance back to city staff to work out some issues. Canning said he was concerned about how the ordinance would be enforced primarily by city building inspectors instead of police, while Garaventa believed some of the requirements would make the process too costly for many to benefit. Garaventa suggested allowing peo-

pie to grow marijuana plants in greenhouses as a compromise, though no changes were made to the ordinance. The Tuolumne CountyBoard of Supervisorsapproved regulations on Feb. 2 that allow individual patients to grow up to 12 marijuana plants — or up to 24 if more than one patient lives at the same residence — outside in a fenced area on their property. They would also have the choice to grow up to 24 plants in a 50-square-foot area inside their home insteadofoutdoors. While dozens of people attended multiple public hearings held by the county since November and offered suggestions on how the regulations should be crafted, only a couple of people went to the council's Feb. 1 meeting when the city's regulations were introduced. One of the few who attended, Laurie Lehmann, ofSonora, said she had not heard much about the city's proposed ordinance until the Feb. 1 meeting. When she saw what the county approved a day later, she thought the proposal was no longer fair to residents in the county's only incorporated city. "I kind of felt like it wasn't very fair for the people in the city to have stricter regulations on them when they might have the same needs," she said. Sonoraofficialshavesaidtheproposed ordinance is stricter by design due to the generally smaller parcel sizes throughout the roughly 3-square-mile city. Lehmann, who sits on the Vision Sonora Design Committee, said she doesn' t believe the city's six-plant limit is enough to supply medical marijuana patients for an entire year. She also said the plants do not give off much of an odor until they flower and are ready to harvest. 'The houses are maybe closer together (in the city), but there are plenty of sub-

Brown implementing the first statewide regulations on the booming industry. The law previously required counties and citiesto adopt their own regulations on medical marijuana cultivation and distribution, with a deadline to have them in place by March 1. However, the deadline was recently lifted through legislation signed by Brown this month. Also Tuesday, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider an ordinance regulating medical marijuana within its borders. Kira Tucker of Tuolumne Cannabis Advocates said her group plans to have representatives at both meetings to advocate on behalf of medical marijuana patients. Though she acknowledged the concerns about smaller lots in the city, she said it would likely cost thousands of dollars to comply with the ordinance as proposed. Tucker suggested allowing residents to grow a limited number of plants inside their residence, such as in a spare room or garage. "If they' re going to require a shed or outbuilding, they' re going to be growing indoors anyway," she said. Also at Tuesday's meeting, the council will review the budget midway through the fiscal year that ends June 30 and considerapproving a 2 percent raise for Miller, the city administrator.

In 1950 John joined the Air Force and while stationed at Amarillo Air Station in Texas he met and married Thelma (Sally) Inez Hollaway. In 1953 their first of four children Susan was born there. After being discharged from the Air Force, John and Thelma returned to Smithville where he worked for Timken Bearing Co. while attending the Ohio Institute of Business. He earned his Associate of Arts in Business Science degree in 1955. Shortly after their second child (Jeff) was born they decided to move to California to be near The)ma's family which were living in Jamestown. They settled in Jacksonville (which is under Don Pedro reservoir now) in late 1955 and in June of 1956 their third child Karen was born at the Sonora Hospital (which later became Davis Motors and is now the parking lot of Yosemite Title Co.). Two and a half years later their fourth child, John M. was born. John worked odd jobs in construction and various other enterprises in both Tuolumne and Calaveras counties until 1960 when he went to work for Pickering Lumber Co. in Standard. He worked there until he retired in 1991. After retiring John went to work part time for his son Jeff's construction company and helped build many homes and business including the Sonora Sports and Fitness Center where he became a lifetime member and he enjoyed playing racquetball every day for many years. Eventually he joined the Tuolumne County Aquatic Masters (TCAM) and swam several days a week until the year before his death. John enjoyed working with his hands and helping others. He helped build the Holman Theater in Sonora and spent many hours helping at his church, Sierra Bible, when it was under construction. He was also a member of the Tuolumne River Woodworkers Association. He and his fellow woodworkers built thousands of wooden toys they distributed to needy and underprivileged children nationally, and in Africa. He also donated many of the toys to several of the day care centers here in Tuolumne County. John is preceded in death by his parents; a sister; two infant brothers, and his ex-wife. John is survived by his children Susan Beron of Missoula, Montana, Jeff and Karen Holderman of Soulsbyville and John M (Ayten) Holderman of Murphy, Texas; one granddaughter, Melanic S.

Democrats, don't blow it The death of Antonin Scalia has set off yet another epic partisan struggle as Senate Republicans seek to deny President Obama his constit uti o n a l right to nominate HgITp the next Supreme Court justice. They want to wait out Obama's last year in office, hoping his successor will be one of their own. If the Democrats choose Bernie Sanders as their presidential candidate, Republicans will almost certainly get their wish. Furthermore, the Republican president would probably have a Republican-majority Senate happy to approve his selection. The makeup of senatorial races this November gives Democrats a decent chance of capturing a majority. Having the radical Sanders on the ballot would hurt them in swing states. Some Sanders devotees will argue with

FrPma

conviction that t h ese pui1ilish Democrats

are not real progressives anyway, not like our Bernie. Herein lies the Democrats' problem. No sophisticated pollster puts stock in current numbers showing Sanders doing well against possible Republican foes. The right has not subjected Sanders to the brutality it routinely rains on Hillary Clinton — precisely because he is the candidate they want to run a Republican against. Should Sanders become the nominee, the skies will open. One may applaud Sanders'denunciationofbig money in politics,but a m oderate Democrat in the White House could do something about it. A democratic socialist not in the White House cannot. Campaign finance reform would be a hard slog under any circumstances, but a seasoned politician who plays well with others could bring a reluctant few to her side. Some younger liberals may not know the historyof the disastrous 2000 election, where Republicans played the left for fools. Polls were showing Al Gore and George W. Bush neck-and-neck, particularly in the pivotalstate ofFlorida. Despite the stakes, prominent left-wing voices continued to back the third-party candidacyofRalph Nader. You had Michael Moore bouncing on stages where he urged cheeringliberalsto vote for theradicalNader because there was no difference between Gore and Bush. Republicans, meanwhile, were running ads for Nader. That was no secret. Itwa sin the papers. When the Florida tally came in, Bush held a mere 537-vote edge. The close results prompted Florida to start a recount of the votes. Then, in a purely partisan play, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court stopped the recount, handing the election to Bush. The bigger point is that Gore would have been the undisputed winner in 2000 had Nader not vacuumed up almost 100,000 Florida votes, most of which would have surely gone to him. Same deal in New Hampshire, where Nader siphoned off more than 22,000 votes. Bush w on there by only 7,211 ballots. Now, Sanders is an honorable man running a straightforward campaign for the Democratic nomination. One can't imagine

his playing the third-party spoiler. But what makes today similar to 2000 is how many onthe left are so demanding of ideological purity that they'd blow the opportunity to keep the White House in Democratic hands. Of course, they don't see it that way. This may refiect their closed circle of like-minded friends — or an illusion that others need only see the light, and their hero will sweep into the Oval Office. The other similarity to 2000 is the scorn the believers heap on the experienced liberal alternative. They can't accept the compromises, contradictions and occasional bad calls that attach to any politician who' s fought in the trenches. The next president will almost certainly be either Clinton or a Republican. Democrats must ask themselves: Whom would you prefer to name future Supreme Court judges?

GUEST COLUMN

Young women seemingly out of touch WASHINGTON — Two recent comments by famous feminists have underscored the inevitable and predicted the foregone: The feminist era of Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem and Madeleine Albright has come to a close. Each heroic in her own way, these three icons of second-wave feminism have reached a pinnacle of sorts, along with the bittersweet recognition that they are sorely out of touch with today' s younger women. The world they knew and helped change has produced a new generation no longer as concerned with the issues that animated their mothers and grandmothers.

So it goes. Adding possible injury to insult, liberal millennial women are tilting toward Bernie Sanders rather than she who would be the first woman president of the United States. What are they thinking? Albright and Steinem, speaking on different days in different environments, offered comments

Obama welcomesSoutheastAsian leaders RANCHO MIRAGE (AP) — President BarackObama and the leaders of Southeast Asian nations are gathering in Southern California for an unprecedented two days of talks on economic and security issues and on forging deeper ties amid China's assertive presence in the region. Obama on Monday will welcome each leader from the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, for a summit at Sunnylands, a posh California desert estate where Obama held his first meeting with China's current presi-

dent. Obama has traveled toAsia for the association's annual summit, but thisisthe first time leaders of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia are meeting in the U.S. China is not an ASEAN member. The summit was conceived as part of Obama's mission to raise the U.S. profile and help set the agenda in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific, where China's territorial claims over disputed waters have raised international concerns and led to friction with ASEAN countries.

Member countries make up the seventh-largest economy i n t he world, the White House said. Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy nationalsecurity adviser,said the nations are important partners for the U.S. on issues ranging from the economy to maritime security and counterterrorism to combatting the threat from climate change. By hosting the summit, "we want to make very clear that the United Statesisgoing to be at the table and a part of setting the agenda in the Asia Pacific in the decades to come," Rhodes told reporters before the summit. "In order to do that, we need to be engaging organizations like ASEAN at the highest levels." ASEAN countries together represent the U.S.' fourth-largest trading partner. Trade between them tops $226 billion. Obama planned tofocus Monday evening's talks on the economy, specifically using innovation and entrepreneurship to promote prosperity in the region. After a working dinner at the estate, the conversation shifts Tuesday to regional security issues, including the South China Sea and counterterrorism, before the summit

concludes at midday. China says it has a historical right to virtually all of the South China Sea and has built seven artificial islands, including with airstrips, to assert its sovereignty. Taiwan and ASEAN members Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines also claim land features in these potentially resource-rich waters, which are an important conduit for world trade. Though not a claimant, the U.S. has spoken out against China's conduct and has angered Beijing by sailing Navy ships near some of the artificial islands. It has argued for the maritime rights issue to be resolved peacefully and is looking for ASEAN to take a unified stance by calling for the disputesto be resolved based on international law. The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a free-trade agreement among the U.S., ASEAN members Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam, and seven other nations, will likely be discussed. The pact is Obama's signature trade achievement and he has sought to sell it to skeptical lawmakers and interest groups as an opportunity for the U.S. to shape the region's trade rules, not China.

Avalanche danger in the Sierra Nevada was rated low Monday above treelines and below treelines in locations north of Ebbetts Pass and Sonora Pass, according to the Sierra Avalanche Center in Lake Tahoe. On the Stanislaus River near Tuttletown, New Melones Reservoir was holding 426,167 acre-f eet of water, 18 percentof its totalcapacity. That's an increase of more than 80,000 acre-feet in New Melones since Jan. 16. The current heat wave has brought sunbathing weather with daytime highs in the 70s

"Her face was unrecognizable, swollen to many times its normal size and covered with deep, bleeding gashes," Glover wrote on the site. Glover couldn't be reached for comment Monday. Trinity didn't have burns on her body, so it's unknown where she was during the Butte Fire or how she got into the burn area. Whatever doesn't go toward Trinity's medical care will be used for other animals who are in the shelter and need care, Holsapple said. Trinity's injuries are consistent with animals known as "bait" for fighting dogs, Holsapple said.

There is potential for debris flows in recent burn scars, including watersheds scorched by the 2015 Butte Fire and the 2013 Rim Fire, forecasters said in an update Monday afternoon. In spite of the recent warm spell, all passes over the Sierra Nevada crest in Calaveras County and Tuolumne County remain closed for the winter, including Tioga Pass on Highway 120 on the east edge of Yosemite National Park.

"She definitely would not have survived had she not had medical intervention," Holsapple said. The Animal Services staff named her Trinity. Holsapple said the dog is responding well to therapy. Animal Services shelter assistant Rebecca Glover started an online GoFundMe

eWe can't prove that for

sure, but because of the way her injuries are, on the lips of her muzzle, it's very consistent with bait dog injuries," Holsapple said. Trinity's injuries show evidence that she was taped around her face (from below the eye to muzzle with just the nose exposed) and either tied or chained up, while fighting dogs were "sicced" on her. Her injuries also show

"She's just soaking up the love," she said. "It's been amazing. She took to us right away." The fact that Trinity even made it tothe veterinary hospital is a feat in itself, Holsapple said. "A lot of times, dogs like this are immediately euthanized because they can be aggressive," Holsapple said. According to PETA, pit bulls are left at shelters in record numbers and, because theyare difficult to adopt out, reputable shelters find they must euthanize more pit bulls and pit bull mixes than all other dogs combined.

"It's truly a miracle that someone stepped forward and wanted to share in her expenses," Holsapple said. "In spite of her extreme pain, suffering, and abuse at the hands of those who had tortured her, she remained an incredibly loving, sweet, gentle soul," Glover wrote. "We knew we had to give her a chance to have a better life and to know that humans can begood.While visiting her on our lunch hour, as she climbed into our laps, we decided her name had to be Trinity, as a tributetothe three stages of her life — her horrible past, her painful present, and the wonderful future we know she has in store."

For now, Trinity's in a 10day holding period and under the custody of Animal Services. Once medically cleared, she will need a fosteroradoptive home, Holsapple said.

carrots and turnips, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown and soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Meanwhile, cut steak in half crosswise and sprinkle with rosemary and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the steak and cook until starting to brown on each side, about 2 minutes total. Transfer to another plate. Return the vegetables to the pan and stir in brown sugar. Place the steak on the vegetables. Carefully transfer the pan to the oven. Roast until the vegetables are tender and the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, 8 to 10 minutes for medium. Remove the steak to a clean cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle vinegar over the vegetables. Serve the steak with the vegetables.

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pans with cooking spray. 2. To toast the oatmeal, place in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside. 3. In a medium size bowl, whisk the toasted oats, flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside. 4. In a large bowl, beat brown sugar and eggs. Add buttermilk, yogurt, orange juice and vanilla; beat until batter is smooth. Lower the speed; add the orange zest and bananas, and beat briefly (it's OK if the batter has a few lumps). 5. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, and mix until just incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the cherries, walnuts and flax seed. The batter will be thick. Pour the batter into the pans. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean. 6. Transfer the breads to a rack; let cool for 10 minutes, then unmold and place on a rack to cool to room temperature.

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

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.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Forgetful partner needs to see a doctor

Todayin history

DEAR ANNII<:: For 10 years, I have had an unwritten business partnership with a woman 26 years my senior. It has mostly worked well, until "Doris" crashed her car into a tree

two years ago and had her license suspended. Though no one was hurt, and the tree survived, the car was totaled, and Doris isn't allowed to drive anymore. Since then, her many &iends have provided transportation for her. Her

children, two of whom are within an hour's drive, have helped shuttle her around, but not as much as the rest of us. Worse, they don't acknowledge their mother's shortcomings. They

don't know what her schedule is like, and how much her schedule impacts those of us who deal with it on a regular basis. Lately, Doris has become a liability regardingour real estate business. She forgetsdetails about contracts, inspections and disclosure. I end up doing all of the work and still split-

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 16, the 47th day of 2016. There are 319 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Feb. 16, 1968, the nation's first 911 emergency telephone system was inaugurated in Haleyville, Alabama. On this date: In 1804, Lt. Stephen Decatur led a successful raid into Tripoli Harbor to burn the U.S. Navy frigate Philadelphia, which had fallen into the hands of pirates during the First Barbary War. In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Fort Donelson in Tennessee ended as some 12,000 Confederate soldiers surrendered; Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's victory earned him the nickname "Unconditional Surrender Grant." In 1923, the burial chamber of King Tutankhamen's recently unearthed tomb was unsealed in Egypt by English archaeologist Howard Carter. In 1977, Janani Luwum, the Anglican archbishop of Uganda, and two other men were killed in what Ugandan authorities said was an automobile accident. In 1988, seven people were shot to death during an office rampage in Sunnyvale, California, by a man obsessed with a co-worker who was wounded in the attack. In 1996, 11 people were killed in a fiery collision between an Amtrak passenger train and a Maryland commuter train in Silver Spring, Maryland. Former California Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown died in Beverly Hills, California, at age 90. In 1998, a China Airlines Airbus A300-600R trying to land in fog near Taipei, Taiwan, crashed, killing all 196 people on board, plus six on the ground.

Yes, West could have defeated the contract after winning the first diamond by shifting to a heart, but who would ever find that play? There is a much simpler solution for West.

CC loses 3rd straight, still eyeing postseason

The Columbia Claim Jumpers blew an 11-point halflime lead Saturday night and fell on the road to Porterville College 74-66. The Jumpers led 43-32, but were outscored 42-23 in the second half for their third consecutive Central Valley Conference loss. Columbia sophomore Mike Meserole led the Jumpers with 20 points. DeAndre Stallings scored 16 and pulled down 11 rebounds and blocked two shots. Aaron May scored 11 points off the bench and collected 11 rebounds.

With the lake level rising, floating debris ranging from small tumbleweed type vegetation to fencepost-sized logs, was everywhere. Most teams reported that the bite followed the temperature with only a few fish caught in the cool morning and Courtesy photos most being caught after noon. Nineteen teams caught a limit and the vast majority found similar fish and fish catching patterns. The consensus was that the most productive bait was some variation of jig fished in 20 to 30 feet of water. Just over 1 pound separated eighth to 17th place.

HOOPS Continued from PageCl the Wildcats, but it clinched a share of the MLL title. If the Bears can beat the 'Skins for the second time this season and hand Calaveras a second loss in a row, then Summerville will be the undisputed champions. For Calaveras, the miss now forcesit to leave Tuolumne with the win, which will surrender half of the Bears title to the Redskins. "We picked them to win the leaguebefore it started," said Summerville head coach Ben Watson. "They are just an awfully good team that is solid, big and powerful. They can shoot the ball when they need to and they play good defense. I think they are the best defensive team in the league. They just do a lot of good things. This is a big deal to play this game." It has been said that a tie is like kissing your sister, but for Calaveras' interim head coach Dale Clifton, a tie is better than nothing. eWe'd rather have a share of the championship and we' d like to have a home game for playoffs," Clifion said. Summerville is riding a seven-game winning streak, and has won 12 of its last 14.

Wildcat boys seek 3rd place alone; Sonora girls close to perfect MLL record Union Democrat staff

While the MLL title is on the line in Tuolumne, in Sonora the 'Cats are trying to get in one final strong game before the beginning of the playoffs. Sonora (14-9, 6-5) sits in third place in the MLL, and although Argonaut (19-7, 6-6 MLL) is right behind them, the Wildcatspossess the tiebreaker with two head-to-head victories over the Mustangs. Sonora has lost a number of close games this season, the most recent a 83-81 defeat at home to Summerville. Even with a few tough losses to its name, Sonora has the ability to put up points in a big way, which is something that could push it deep into the playoffs. "I think that we are pretty dangerous," said Sonora head coach Dan Dona. "We played a very good game against Summerville and it was an

that will give us a little more confidence heading into the first round of the playoffs."

having not lost since Dec. 10 against Lincoln at the Bret Harte Tournament in Angels Camp. Asides &om the loss to Bret Harte, the closest game the Redskins have played during MLL play was an eight-point victory over the 'Frogs.

The 45-43 loss to Bret Harte might have knocked down the Redskins, but not knocked them out. After a long weekend, returning to the hardwood helped mend the wound.

BRIEFS Contadorhopesto race in own team for 2017 Tour deFrance MADRID (AP) — Spanish rider Alberto Contador hopes to compete in the Tour de France with his own professional team next

year if he can raise enough money. The two-time Tour de France champion, who previously indicated he would retireattheend ofthe2016 season, said itwas"increasingly likely" he would ride in 2017 if his team could get "top-level status and compete in the Tour." He spoke at the unveiling Monday of the Alberto Contador Foundation's junior and sub-23 teams in Madrid. The 33-year-old Contador said his new team needs to raise 15 million euros ($16.7 million) to sustain a professional squad. He was "optimistic and confident something good can come of this" but added his chances were "around 50

percent." Contador is currently part of the Tinkoff team.

NBAAll-Star game draws 7.6Mviewers TORONTO (AP) — The NBA All-Star Game averaged 7.6 million viewers, up 6 percent over 2015, according to Nielsen's ratings. The West's 196-173 victory saw a peak audience of 8.7 million for a 15-minute segment from 8:45-9 p.m. EST. The game was the most-viewed program on cable television Sunday night. It was the first NBA AllStar game held outside the United States, so host city Toronto is not refiected in Nielsen ratings. Top local market ratings for the contest were San Antonio (12.4), Oklahoma City (9.9), Cleveland (9.7), San Francisco (9.4) and Memphis (8.4).

Boshdealingwith blood-clotscare MIAMI (AP) — Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat is dealing with another blood-clotscare, making this the second consecutive year that he's spent the All-Star break facing a most uncertain future because of a health issue. Bosh will spend "the next few days" reviewing options and no determi-

nation will be made about his playing status until he goes through more tests and evaluation, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Monday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because neither the AllStar forward nor the Heat have revealed the concerns

publicly. Bosh is Miami's leading scorerat 19.1 points per game this season. He said over the weekend in Toronto that he was optimistic about playing again this season. Bosh pulled out of the All-Star Game and the 3-point contest over the

weekend because of what he and the Heat described as acalfstrain. He was shut down at the All-Star break last season because a blood clot had found its way to one of his lungs, and that issue is something that Bosh believes started as a calf problem.
