Curry Village will become Half Dome Village, Yosemite Lodge Yosemite Valley Lodge and most ridiculous of all the Ahwahnee will be named The Majestic Yosemite Hotel. That sounds like some place rented for a slapstick movie rather than a luxury hotel overlooking one of America's most exquisite and beloved sights,a place where presidents and queens stayed. When the National Park Service announced the name change in mid-January, a little-known lawsuit that had been filed against them in September came to thefore.People were mad, mostly at Delaware North, the company suing the federal government. It's a complicated tale but essentially Delaware North was not chosen to manage concessions in the park — hotels, ski area, golf course, which bring in millions and millions of dollars each year. The company had been doing it for 23 years. The Park Service instead chose Aramark. Fair enough. That's business. But Delaware North is claiming it is owed $40 million for the names, guest listsand allsorts ofotherstuffthatfalls under the heading of intellectual property. It claims it paid more than that when it won the contract in the first place. The government estimates the value

at more like $3 million, which would indicate the government acknowledges Delaware North is owed something. Delaware North has subsequently amended its lawsuit to claim the Parks Service is intentionally trying to drum up public ire — and damage the company's reputation — by changing the names.

Changing the names seems like a nana-na-boo-boo child's game of not liking the rules so the Park Service is taking its ball and going home. It's the Park Service that allowed all those names to be trademarked. It's the Park Service that has fumbled this ball. But here's something curious Union Democrat reporter Guy McCarthy heard this week from Park Service spokesman Scott Gediman. The Park Service makes its own signs, and no signs have been m ade yet. None have been started,Gediman said Friday. That's a lot of signs that need replacing before March 1, when Aramark takes over.

This has degenerated into a game of who blinks first. Does Delaware North settle to end the public relations nightmare? Does the Park Service go ahead with its threat? Who loses in this scenario? The people who love Yosemite National Park and who entrusted its care in the federal government. To be sure, Half Dome will not shatter and El Capitan will still be gallant no matter what the hotels nearby are called. No one's announcing any plans to change those names. But still. The park service should stand above the fray. Make sure Delaware North gets what it's owed and stay out of the naming business. Take care of our national treasure.

"The world knows Harper Lee was a brilliant writer but what many don' t know is that she was an extraordinary woman of great joyfulness, humility and kindness. She lived her life the way she wanted to — in private — surrounded by books and the people who loved her," Michael Morrison, head of HarperCollins U.S. general books group, said in the statement. For most of her life, Lee divided her time between New York City, where she wrote the novel in the 1950s, and her hometownof Monroeville,whichinspired the book's fictional Maycomb "To Kill a Mockingbird," published in 1960,is the story of a girl nicknamed Scout growing up in a Depression-era Southerntown.

President George W. Bush awards the Presidential Medal of Freedom to author Harper Lee during a ceremony Nov. 5,2007, in the East Room. But she began declining interviews in the late 1960s and, until late in her life, firmly avoided making any public comment at all about her novel or her career. Other than a few magazine pieces for Vogue and McCall's in the 1960s and a review of a 19th-century Alabama history book in 1983, she published no other book until stunning the world in 2015 by permitting "Go Set a Watchman" to be released. ''Watchman" was written b efore "Mockingbird" but was set 20 years later, using the same location and many of the same characters. Readers and reviewers were disheartened to find an Atticu who seemed nothing like the hero of the earlier book. The man who defied the status quoin "Mockingbird" was now part of the mob in "Watchman," denouncing the Supreme Court' that school segregation was unconstitutional and denouncing blacks as unfit to enjoy full equality. But despite unenthusiastic reviews and questions about whether Lee was well enough to approve the publication, "Watchman" jumped to the top of bestseller lists within a day of its announcement and remained there for months. Much of Lee's story is the story of "Mockingbird," and how she responded to it. She wasn't a bragger, like Norman Mailer, or a drinker, like William Faulkner, or a recluse or eccentric. By the accounts of friends and Monroeville

an, and Scout's father, the resolute law-

yer Atticus Finch, defends him despite threats and the scorn ofmany. The book quickly became a best-seller, won the Pulitzer Prize and was made into a memorable movie in 1962, with Gregory Peck winning an Oscar for his portrayal of Atticus. As the civil rights movement grew,thenovelinspiredagenerationofyounglawyers,was assignedin high schools allover the country and was a popularchoice for citywide, or nationwide, reading programs. By 2015, its sales were reported by HarperCollins to be more than 40 million worldwide,making it one of the most widely read American novels of the 20th century. When the Library of Congress did a survey in 1991 on books that have affected people's lives, "To Kill a Mockingbird" was second only to the Bible. Lee herself became more mysterious as her book became more famous. At first, she dutifully promoted her work. She spoke frequently to the press, wrote about herselfand gave speeches, once to a classofcadets atW estPoint.

townsfolk, she was a warm, vibrant and witty woman who enjoyed life, played golf, read voraciously and got about to plays and concerts. She just didn't want to talk about it before an audience. Claudia Durst Johnson, author of a book-length critical analysis of Lee' s novel,described her as preferring to guard her privacy "like others in an older generation, who didn't go out and talk about themselves on Oprah or the Letterman show at the drop of a hat." According to Johnson, Lee also complained that the news media invariably misquoted her. Lee emerged more often over the past few years, although not always in ways she preferred. She was involved in numerous legal disputes over the rights to her book and denied she had cooperated with the biography 'The Mockingbird Next Door: Life With Harper Lee," by Marja Mills. Other occasions were happier. She wrote a letter of thanks in2001 when the Chicago Public Library chose "Mockingbird" for its first One Book, One Chicago program.In 2007,she agreed to attend a White House ceremony at which she received a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Around the same time, she wrote a rare published item — for 0, The Oprah Magazine — about how she became a reader

as a child in a rural, Depression-era Alabama town,and remained one.

travel is too important to give up on. The crash investigation f ound that c o-pilot M i chael Alsbury prematurely unlocked the so-called feathering system that is intended to slow and stabilizethe craft as itre-enters the atmosphere. Alsbury was killed, but pilot Peter Siebold, although seriously injured, parachuted to safety.

The "feathers" — a term derived from the design of a badminton shuttlecock — are tail structures that

extend rearward from each wingtip. They are designed to swivel upward at an angle to createdrag, preventing a buildup of speed and heat, and then rotate back down to normal flying position as the craft descends into the thickening atmosphere. A National Transportation Safety Board investigation found that Scaled Composites, a company that was developing SpaceShip Two with Virgin Galactic and was responsible for its test program, should have had systems tocompensate for human error. The NTSB chairman, Chr i s topher Hart, said it wasn't a matter of shortcuts but of not considering a crew member would make the mistake that occurred.

The panel, which had been poised to approve the measure, eventually voted it down when only three membersgave their support.Four yesvotes from the seven-member panel were required for passage. The vote was 3-2 in favor, with one member absent and one board position currently open. The panel will now begin considering a new worker-safety measure for the porn industry, said CaVOSHA spokeswoman Julia Bernstein. Board members appeared influenced by the large number of industry representatives, ranging from actorsto

Mike Stabile, a spokesman for the industry trade group the Free Speech Coalition, said after thevote that pornographers hope they can work closely in the future in craiting safety requirements that the industry can accept.

Mayer believes the overhaul will boost profits and sharpen Yahoo's focus on mobileapps and other services most likely to revive the company's revenue growth after years of decline. Some Yahoo shareholders frustratedwith a steep drop in the company's stock price have been pushing for a sale of the Internet operations instead. The board has now responded to that pressure by hiring investment bankers Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and PJT Partners to setup a processform eeting with companies interested in buying all or parts of Yahoo's business.

Measure specifying condom use in porn rejected LOS ANGELES (AP) — One after another, scores of people who make porn films for a living pleaded their case toCalifornia workplace safety officials: Don't force condoms or safety gogglesor other devices designed to stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases on them because those devices will simply stop people from watching porn films and soon they' ll have no jobs at all. "All of us are here for the same reason. We want to keep California workers safe," porn actress SiouxsieQ, who also reports on the industry for various publications, told the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health's Standards Board during a public hearing Thursday. But adopting regulations specifically requiring the use of condoms and other safety measures that audiences don' t like would only keep people from watching films and destroy a multibillion-dollar business that employs thousands, she and dozens of others told the board.

A two-mile hike that leads to limestone caverns that had been carved by Coyote Creek and a swimming hole can be found along Parrots Ferry Road, just miles beyond the Tuolumne County-Calaveras County border.

The county's PCI dropped to 41 in 2014, while the maintenance backlog ballooned to an estimated $91 million. Two years later, the PCI is 39 and maintenance backlog is $96 million. By 2035, the backlog is expectedto grow to $202 million if funding remains at the same levels.

the county is estimated to contribute between $3 million and $4 million each year to the state's multi-billion-dollar greenhouse gas reduction fund — comprised of cap-andt rade revenues — but h a s

Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed budget for the next fiscal year includes $4.1 billion in spending from the cap-andtrade revenues.

they think they will retire, so she will know what to be recruiting for in the future. In 2019, several doctors will be retiring, "so we are planning ahead," McRee said. The hospital is also seeking to bring in more mid-level practitioners like physician assistants and

Continued from Page Al The recruitment process can cost up to $500,000, McRee said. There aren't enough doctors out there to meet the demand for physicians, said Gail Witzlsteiner, hospital spokeswoman. It makes therecruiting process even more competitive than it already would be. There is a particular need in Tuolumne County for i n t ernal medicine specialists and one roadblock to that is unlike other areas of practice, internists in their last year of medical school can opt to change to a specialty, like cardiology or pulmonology, or other areas, McRee said. So if McRee has been recruiting an internist in a residency program for a year or two, they could end up telling her they are going another route and that time spent would have beenfornaught,sheexplained. Since McRee was brought on in 2012, she has recruited 32 physicians and only five have left. In 2015, 12 new physicians were added to the community including, three family medicine doctors, two nephrologists, one OB/GYN, one invasive cardiologist, one general surgeon, one emergency medicine doctor, two internists and one public health officer.

Sonora Regional Medical Center is set to bring in five new doctors this year, however nine more are needed to meet the demand for physicians. internists, one rheumatologist, one physical medicine rehabilitation director, one psychiatrist, one ENT, one pediatrician, one neurologist and one family medicine doctor. McRee this month is going to ask her development committee (which approvesrecruits for hire),to add another internist to the needs list. The most important thing she considers while recruiting, besides whether the doctor is well-qualified, is if the doctor will be a good fit in the community and if they are likely to stay. Her first choice is doctors with families, who are more likely to stay rooted in one place for a long time. nWe've had great success in re-

cruiting families," McRee said. When recruiting, McRee looks at background checks, board certificationor board eligible status,the credentialing process, ties to Califor-

nia, families and time&arne of when they could move here. When McRee fi nds a good candidate, the first thing she does is ask them if they have ever heard of Sonora. She then tells them to do research on the area before they talk again. She also doesn't even consider doctors whose resumes show they jump around every two years, because she wants someone committed tostaying. "We want people who want to

build a practice and be part of the community," McRee said. An important aspect of bringing a new doctorin is called "on-boarding," where McRee and hospital administration work to fully orient and welcome a new doctor to the hospital, the community and their clinical teams. The process ensures they feel welcomed, supported and builds a relationship with them and the hospital, so they are more likely to stay. They arealsoeducated on localprograms, services and resources that they can referpatients to. Starting in 2016, five doctors will be turning 50, so McRee will be checking in with them to see when

There is a great need in Tuolumne County for internal medicine doctors and McRee said the hospital is committed to finding the best fit, most qualified doctors they can. However, just because they are desperate doesn't mean she is going to just bring in anyone. "I'm not going to just bring in any doctor because I know the need is great. I'm going to bring the right doctor so they serve you well," McRee said. A woman at Thursday's presentation said her internist recently retired and she can't get in to see another one until December. She said she was 88 and didn't have that kind of time. Witzlsteiner said she should take the appointment and in the meantime see her other specialists for issues as they arise, like cardiology, pulmonology, etc. "We recognize it's a critical issue in our area," Witzlsteiner said. The hospital is looking to develop a pain clinic to address the local opioid issue and that is why it is trying to bring on physical medicine rehabilitation doctors.

As the r m er summer months approach, it's important to schedule annual check tip appointments for pets and stait4ack up or continue heartworm%isease

prevention medicatiorih. Baby worms called microfilaria live inside the bloodstream of infected dogs, foxes, coyotes and wolves, and heartworms can mature when a mosquito bites an animal and picks up baby worms, according to the American Heartworm Society. Over the course of 10 to 14 days the worms develop into an infective stage larvae inside the mosquito, and the next time the mosquito bites an animal that is an available host for the larvae, that animal becomes infected with heartworms. Dogs aredescribed as a natural heartworm host, and cats are susceptible heartworm hosts, only more resistant than dogs. Once the worms are inside the new host, it takes about six months for the larvae to mature into adult heartworms. It isimportant to take pets into a veteri-

narian for annual check ups regardless of whether a pet is already on preventative medication, said Cathy Gatlin, veterinarian at the Arnold Pet Clinic. Missing just one dose of medication can leave a dog unprotected. The medication is not 100 percent effective, so testing is still vital. The disease has been in the Mother Lode for as long as veterinarian Wes Wittman, of Mono Way Veterinary Hospital, can remember. Heartworm disease is a year-round

health threat and cases have been diagnosed inall50 states,according to the American Heartworm Society. Worms living in a dog's heart, lungs and arteries can cause an inflammatory response that can cause blockages in blood vessels. As the amount of worms grow inside the dog, the disease worsens and damages arteries and organs in the dog's body. Symptoms in dogs start with a cough, and in later stages fatigue, difficulty breathing

Symptoms of the disease in cats include chronic coughing, vomiting, and in the case of cats with adult worms, a common side effect is sudden death. Heartworms living inside dogs can grow to an average of 12 inches long and can live five to seven years. Inside cats, heartworms are shorter at an average of eight to nine inches long and live around 2 to 4

Dogs can be diagnosed with the disease with a simple blood test, but diagnosing cats can be more difficult and can sometimes require x-rays, Gatlin said. "In a dog that has adult heartworms, treatmentisa whole process ofinjections and takes time," Gatlin said. After the first injection is given, generally one month will pass before administering the next, to ensure that the body has had time to kill and break down a large portion of worms. The animal then must have around four months of restrictive activity to allow the body to recover, Gatlin said. The two most common forms of heartworm preventative medication includes monthly tablets or injections once every

Almost 100 percent of dogs that are exposedto infective heartworm larvae become infected, while about 75 percent of cats that are exposed to infective heartworm larvaebecome infected. Dogs are a more susceptible heartworm host than cats and most heartworms living inside a dog's body mature, mate and produce offspring. The American Heartworm Society reports that while 37 percent of dogs in

Even after Heartworm Disease has been fully treated, animals can experience lasting sideeffects afterwards such as long term heart and lung disease and damage to bloodvessels,circulatory systems and the heart, Gatlin said.

Mailbox ' +- ~ "Confused and Tern," who didn't want to put down her 15-year-old Pomeranian, "Clover," who was in constant pain. I had to make a decision regarding my dog two months after losing my husband. I was devastated, as the anguish was unbearable and seemed unending. It was truly a bad year. A while ago, I cam across a poem you printed called "A Dog's Plea." To this day, it still brings tears to my eyes. I hope "Confused" will see it and that it will help her a little bit. — JUDY FROM CANADA DEAR JUDY: We last printed this piece two years ago. Thank you for suggesting it as a way to comfort 'ConfusetL"The poem isone ofom readers' favorites and we are happy to print it again.

"A Dog's Plea" by Beth Norman Harris Treat me kindly, my beloved kiend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me. Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I might lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn. Speak tome often, foryour voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know bythe fierce wagging of my tail when the sound of your footstep falls upon my waiting ear. Please take me inside when it is cold and wet, for I am a domesticated animal,no longer accustomed to bitter elements. I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I cannot tell you when

I sufferthirst. Feed me clean food that I might stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your lif e be in danger. And, my kiend, when I am very old,and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having any fun. Please see that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave this Earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands. Annie'8 MailbOX is Written by Kathy

The bodydoesn'tneed help to detox and cleanse DEAR DH. ROACH:It's a new year, and manyofmy friendsareembarking on a detox or cleanse. Is there such a thing as beneficial detoxing and cleansing?Ifso,how is itdone properly,and what are the benefits? — D.M.H. ANSWER: The body has its own mechanisms for removing toxins. The kidneys excrete them, and the liver chemically converts them to safe compounds. So when you see someone offering a "detox," he or she isalmost never referring to getting rid of significant toxins. I see many procedures and supplements

they may be relaxing or may make you feel well, they are not necessary for proper bodily function. Similarly, the body haa its own self-cleaning functions, and you should worry only about keeping your skin and mouth clean, not your intestines. Of course, there are toxins that cause harm. If these are taken in sufficient quantities, your body cannot get rid of them. In this case, they are more properly termed "poisons." The

example is lead, where removing the toxin from the environment is key and occasionally medication is used to remove lead &om the body. So my advicefor healthy people is toavoid any products or supplements recommended as "detox" unless they are designed only for relaxation. A day at the spa, for example, might help you get rid of some "toxic" thoughts or behaviors. DEAR DH. ROACK I have not

Today in history Today is Saturday, Feb. 20, the 51st day of 2016. There are 315 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Feb. 20, 1816, the opera buffa "The Barber of Seville" by Gioachino Rossini premiered at the Teatro Argentina in Rome under its original title, "Almaviva, or the Useless Precaution." (Although Rossini's opera received a hostile reception from the audience the first night, it fared much better at its next performance.) On this date: In 1905, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Jacobson v. Massachusetts,upheld, 7-2, compulsory vaccination laws intended to protect the public's health. In 1938, Anthony Eden resigned as British foreign secretary following Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's decision to negotiate with Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. In 1944, during World War II, U.S. strategic bombers began raiding German aircraft manufacturing centers in a series of attacks that became known as "Big Week." In 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court, in United States v. Rabinowitz, ruled 5-3 that authorities making a lawful arrest did not need a warrant to search and seize evidence in an area that was in the "immediate and complete control" of the suspect. In 1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth as he flew aboard Project Mercury's Friendship 7 spacecraft.

BRIIIQ Dancing for tricks slowly or quickly By PHILLIP ALDER

02-20-16 North 4 K J1032 T A?63 4653

East George Bernard Shaw said, "If you cannot get 4974 rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it V 9 4 2 %85 dance." 0 A 10 7 6 Yesterday, I compared the two styles of bridge 4Q1094 defense — active and passive — with dance. If you South round up a posse snd hunt for tricks, it is like danc4 AQ ing a fandango. But if you sit at home watching V KQ J1 0 the television and waiting for declarer to knock on your front door and donate you tricks, that is akin I KQ 8 3 to dancing a fox trot. 4 KS? How do the defenders decide which steps to Dealer: South take?

Vulnerable: East-West

S outh W e s t No r t h Ea s t the opponents are full value for their calls, be active; if they crawl to their contract, stay passive. 3V Pass 4V All Pa s s Then, study the dummy. If it is balanced, the defenders can probably be cautious. But if it is Opening lead: 0 2 unbalanced, especially with a good side suit, they should immediately chase tricks. Which applies in this deal? South is in four hearts. West leads a low diamond. What should East do? After North learned of the 4-4 heart fit, he wondered if his side might have a slam. Partner could have had something like S: A ox, H: KQ J x, 0:Axxx, C:Ax, when sevenhearts is excellent. After East takes the first trick with his diamond ace, he should see that dummy's spade suit is likely to be worth four or five tricks, and declarer may gain a diamond ruff or two. East must get active, shifting to the club 10. As I have fixed the cards, this works perfectly.

Blazers beat Warriors 137-105 PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Damian Lillard had a careerhigh 51 points, seven assists and six steals to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a stundominant 137-105 IRK~ win over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night. C.J. McCollum added 21 points and seven assists for the Blazers, who have won four straight and nine of 10 to move above .500 for the first time since Nov. 4 (3-2). Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 31 points and five assists. Draymond Green added 14 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists, but also had nine turnovers as Golden State snapped its 11game winning streak. The Blazers used a stifling defense throughout the game, but especially in the third quarter when they forced the defendingchampions into 13 turnovers. Portland led 104-79 after three and the lead could have been bigger if the Blazers had been able to convert more of those turnovers into points.

This is not the first time the schools have come one another's aid.

The Columbia College Claim Jumpers will conclude their regular season tonight against the West Hills Falcons at Oak Pavilion. Columbia (16-10, 6-5 Central Valley Conference) snapped its 3-game losing streakWednesday with a 81-71 home victory over the Merced Blue Devils. The Jumpers are still fighting for a playoff spot and will find out on Monday if they will compete in the postseason. Columbia beat West Hills (15-10, 8-3 CVC) 85-82 in late January on the road. Columbia head coach Rob Hoyt (above) talks with his team Friday during practice at Oak Pavilion. If the Jumpers don't make the playoffs, it was the last practice of the year.

I think we just have to throw it away and get ready for the next one." Cam Ward was back in the lineup after missing two games with a lowerbody injury and made 22 saves for the Hurricanes, prompting coach Bill Peters to say "we' re going to ride a guy and it' ll be Cam."

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Jim Harbaugh has Michigan in the spotlight again. The Wolverines announced Friday t h eir spring football game will be at night for the first time. The April 1 game will serve as the 15th and final practice for Harbaugh's second spring with t he Wolverines. This month, Harbaugh is taking his players to practice in Florida during spring break, a move NCAA President Mark Emmert does not favor. "They' re having a hard time being students and doing what students want to do," Emmert said as he spoke to University of South Carolina Board of Trustee members Friday. The Southeastern Conference has sought a rule preventing football teams &om holding practices during spring break. Emmert said whether Harbaugh and other coaches can do that again in the future is a matter before the NCAA's Football Oversight Committee. Harbaugh will likely respond to Emmert via social media as he has previously after anyone questions or

Manfred expects some domestic violence decisions soon BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. (AP)Baseball commissioner Rob Man&ed expects to have a decision within a few days on two of the first three cases coveredby the sport'snew domestic violence policy. Major League Baseball has been investigating New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman, Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig. Any discipline under the policy must be for "just cause." "The standardsof proofin a labor arbitrationand a criminal case are very different," Manfred said Friday. He did not specify which cases he hopes to decide soon.

"There's lots of reasons for nonprosecution," Manfred said. "Not all of them relate to the underlying facts. It may be unavailability or unwillingness of witnesses to participate, whatever. That makes the cases difficult.

Free agents still on market due to supply vs. demand BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) — The large number of free agents still looking for jobs with spring training under way is due to supply and demand, according to baseball commissioner Rob Manfred. Tony Clark, executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, said in early February he was disappointed so many players still were searching for teams. "It was a bigfree-agent class this year," Manfred s aid Friday a t h i s f i r st spring-training media availability. "One of the things that the PA h a s a lways wanted is a market-based system. It's been a long time since I took Economic 101, but my recollection is that when you have a lot of supply in relation to relatively fixeddemand, the market's going tooperate differently than one might expect. So it's not a surprise to me, given thesize ofthe class." Among the several dozen players still seeking jobs are pitcher Yovani Gallardo, shortstop Ian Desmond and outfielder

"Draft-choice compensation has been an aspect of the Basic Agreement that is generallypro management, and it's been in there a very, very long time." While Manfred was management's lead day-to-day negotiatorin the last three agreements, that role will now be taken by Dan Halem, MLB's chief legal officer. An agreement was reached in 2006 during the World Series and in 2011 in November, both times ahead of the expiration of the previous deal. "Without getting into specifics, I think it is safe to say we' re going to try to follow the calendar that has been successful for us the last three times around," Manfred said."That is starting early in spring training and in the season and hopefully have an agreement before

"Right now, that balancing act of providing the right kind of safety and fitting with everything we do, we justhave tobalance allthose things," track president Joie Chitwood III said. Newman and others pointed tothe lack ofa protective wall between the track and pitroad as another potential problem. But Chitwood said building a wall there creates other problems, most notably how to negate the hard edges of the wall at each end. "There are alot of challenges with that," Chitwood said. "There are some tracks

around his feet to be more enclosed an d p r o tected, which possibly could prevent what h a ppened t o Busch's legs and feet a year ago at Daytona. "I would like them to implement that prettyfast, " Dillon said. "The faster, the better. It adds a little bit more weight to the car, but for me, I think we'd give up weight any day to make the car safer. They tested it, and it was better. They' ve shown the tests. I think the faster we can get all of our team

owners and competition directors to implement that, it's going to help."
