Sonora's iconic Red Church is getting much needed steeple work this week, part of an ongoing efFort to restore the church to its original glory. St. J a me s Ep i scopal Church, known as the Red Church, is a California Historic Landmark and was built in 1860. On Monday, Robbie Kerr, of Kerr Roofing, and Chris Everett, of Tri-County Construction, started work on the church's75-foot tall steeple. They will be doing "rehab

Roofing and construction workers perform rehab maintenance Monday on the steeple of the historic Red Church in downtown Sonora. They will replace nails with ceramic screws that will allow for expansion and contraction, and will hold longer.

GUEST COLUMN

The politics of paranoia take campaign center stage Amid all the media analyses of the prospects of each of the candidates in both political parties, there is remarkably little discussion of the validity — or lack of validity — of the arguments these candidates are using. Itisasifwhatma ttersthiselectionyearisthefate of arelative handful ofpeople— currently sevenrunning for their respective parties' nominations. Meanwhile, the fateof the 320 million Ameri'

' ThOmaS

c ans who a r e

going to be affected by the outcome of this year's election fades into the background. The fact that Hillary Clinton's election prospects, for example, depend on her ability to get the black vote has been talked about in the media numerous times. But what about the fate of millions of black people, and how that will be affected by the way Hillary Clinton is trying to get their votes? Her basic pitch to black voters is that they have all sorts of enemies, and that blacks need her to protect

them, which she is ready to do if they vote for her. In short, Hillary's political fate depends on spreading fearand,ifpossible,paranoia. Similar attempts to get the votes of women are based on conjuring up enemies who are waging a "war on women," with Hillary again cast in the role of someone ready to come to their rescue, if they will give her their votes. In both cases, rhetoric and repetition take the place of hard evidence. The closest thing to evidence being offered is that the average income of blacks is not the same as the average income of whites, and

the average income of women is not the same as the average income of men. But the average incomes of people in their twenties is usually lower than the average income of people in their forties — and by a greater amount than the income difFerence between women and men, or the income difference between blacks and whites. Does that mean that middle-aged people are enemies of young adults? In countries around the world, and for centuries of recorded history, people living up in the mountains have usually been poorer than people living on the land below. Does this mean that people in the lowlandshave somehow been robbing mountain people? Or does it mean that the circumstances of people living in mountains have usually been less promising than the circumstances of others? If poverty among blacks is due to whites, why has the poverty rate among black married couples been insingle digitsevery year since 1994,despite far higher poverty rates among other blacks? Do most white employers even know — or carewhich blacks are married? When the imprisonment rate of blacks with a college education is a fraction of the imprisonment rate of other blacks, does that mean that white cops check out the education of blacks before they decideto arrestthem? Or does it mean that blacks who have chosen one way of life have very different prospects than those who have chosen a very difFerent way of life — as is true among whites, Asians, Hispanics and others? Economic differences between women and men are not wholly due to personal choices, since only women have babies, and it is usually mothers who take time out from the job market to raise them. When women work fewer hours per year than men, and do not work continuously for as many years as men, how surprised should we be that the sexes have different incomes on average? Anyone who is being serious — as distinguished from being political — would have to take many factorsinto account before saying that male-female income differences, or black-white differences, are due to people with identical qualifications and experience being paid differently. Any number of studies, including studies by female scholars, have shot down the oft-repeated claim that women are paid less than men with identical work qualifications. But that will not stop that same bogus claim from being made repeatedlythiselection year. What about blacks, women or others who believe the political hype? Will that help them improve their lives, or will it be anther counterproductive distraction for them and another polarization of society that helps nobody, except those who seeking votes? As for the media, they are covering the political contests, not theeffectsofthe lies generated in these contests.

What would 3ustice Scalia do? WASHINGTON — As Republican presidential candidates invoke Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's legacy, all insisting that his suddenly vacant seat shouldn't be filled until a new president is in place, it is helpful to ask: What would Scalia do? First, Scalia would read the law and, without much chinstroking, recommend the obvious intent of Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution, which reads: "[The president] shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ... judges of the Supreme Court." See? That wasn't complicated. And the Senate can always reject a nominee. Yet Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made it clear that no Supreme Court nominations will get to t he

floor. Somewhat less rigid, Sen. Chuck Grassley, chair of the Judiciary Committee, has said he' ll wait to see who the nominee is before deciding whether to convene a hearing. All Republican candidates have expressed agreement with McConnell, with Donald ~ p being the most vocal and least nuanced: "Delay, delay, delay," he said inimitably at Saturday' s debate in South Carolina, just hours after the nation learned of Scal ia'sdeath. As unseemly as such political proclamationsare so soon afterthe justice's death, Scalia likely would have found the shenanigans childishly amus-

with fire. Is this really a precedent they wish to set? Which of these men in his fourth or eighth year of his presidency would surrender his own nominating powers to a successor? And, finally, what if the next president is Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders? The GOPs calculation, apparently,is that the greater risk lies in Obama's nominating a reasonably moderate liberal who passes all the usual tests that Republicans can't rationally block. If Obama were feeling frisky, he might select a Hispanic or Asian judge, thus helping ensure that the Republican "Big Tent" collapses from the weight of emptiness. All things considered, it may seem wiser to avoid the advise-and-consent p r ocess, but hypocrisy takes no prisoners. You can't attach yourself to Scalia's originalist virtues and also ignore the rule of law he so passionately defended. Scalia's advice might be his own reflections on being a good and faithful judge: 'You have to resign yourself to the fact that you' re not always going to like the conclusions you reach."

Love or hate Scalia, the Supreme Court just became a far, far duller place. So why would the GOP, professedlystewards of original intent, seek to thwart the Constitution's clear purposes?

KAIJdMAZOO, Mich. (AP) — The Uber ride-hailing service acknowledged Monday that it received complaints about erratic driving by the suspect in the random shootings that killed six peoplein Kalamazoo, and a prosecutor said the man admitted carrying out the attacks.

As authorities pieced together Jason Dalton'sactions, the prosecutor said he picked up Uber fares after the first shooting and probably got more riders after the subsequent shootings. Dalton, the 45-year-old former insurance adjuster, appeared briefly in court by video link and was charged with six counts of murder. A judge denied him bail.

BARCELONA, Spain Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg vowed Monday to press on with his 3-year-old efFort to bring the developing world online, even after Indian regulators banned one of the pillars of the campaign. He said the banned service, Free Basics, was only one program in his Internet.org campaign, so he could proceed with other initiatives. Indian regulators banned Free Basics this month because it provided access only to certain pre-approved servicesincluding Facebook — rather than the full Internet. "Facebook isn't a company that hits a roadblock and gives up," Zuckerberg said at the Mobile World Congress wireless show in Barcelona, Spain. 'We take the hits and trytogetbetter." Though Zuckerberg termed the regulatorydefeat "disappointing for the mission and a major setback,"he said every country was difFerent, and "the model that has worked in one country may not work in another."

along, and when we came to a stop, I jumped outof the car and ran away," Mellen said. He said he called police and that when he got to his friend's house, his fiancee posted a warning to friends on Facebook. Uber said riders complained Saturday about Dalton's driving. When alerted to unsafe driving, company policy is to contact the driver. But Uber officials would not say whether anyone at the company spoke to Dalton, deferring to law enforcement.

Dalton passed a background check and became a driver on Jan. 25. He had givenabout 100rides,thecompany said. SinceDalton's arrest,several people have come forward to say that he picked them up for Uber in the hours after the first attack. The Associated Press could not confirm those accounts.

New York-based hospitality giant Delaware North Companies is suing the National Park Service over the value of names it claims to own for iconic sites in Yosemite National Park, including the Ahwahnee Hotel, Wawona Hotel, Curry Village and Badger Pass Ski Area. The lawsuit filed last year values the names at more than $40 million, while the park service values them closer to $3 million.

Police Chief Mark Stinson said the suspects have not been found. "They appear to be male," he said, addingthat his agency has not yet determined if they are adults or juveniles. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sonora Police Department at (209) 532-8141.

Robbie Kerr, owner of Kerr Roofing (above, at left) and Chris Everett, owner of Tri-County Construction, are tasked with doing the rehab maintenance on Red Church steeple. Over time, the old nails have pulled out (right) and, with each storm, they loosen even more.

Each pillar was made up of 96separate pieces of wood that were matched to the original. That job entailed finding matching "heartwoodofcedar,"Choate said. Earlier that m onth, a l o cal stonemason repaired the 2-foottall slate wall that runs around the perimeter of the Red Church. It had been damaged by skateboarders.

Even today, visitors to the church comment on its Norwegian style, Choate said. In 1860, the Sacramento Daily Union described the church: "(It) will, when finished, be one of the ornaments of town." The first service was held the first Sunday in October 1860. In 1868, the west side of the building was damaged when the hotel across the street burned. Extensive repairs were done. In 1909, the Parish Hall

was built. In 1949, the building was "carefully renovated and modernized," the church's' history said. It had further renovations in 1970 and 1973. The church has been Episcopal for m ost of its history,save for a period between 2007 to June 2013, when it was operated by Anglicans who split from the diocese. The priest in charge is the Rev. Verne Walter. The congregation started out with 12 people in 2013 and has grown to 67, Choate said. It can fit 125 people and was full to the brim Sunday night for a performance of the annual St. James Concert Series.

and their fun attempt at a big-screen ban-

quet hall tailgate party was cut short at the beginning of the fourth quarter because they apparently did not reserve the hall long enough to finish the game. That aside, interesting presentations included an update on the state of the industry in Italy and a reminder on how big a role wine has in their economy. Italy is the only nation in the world with vineyards stretching across the entire country, from just below the Alps south to the island of Sicily. Seventeen percent of the world's production is from Italy,and they account for 28 percent of European wines.

The export buzz continues to focus on

Farm toFork dinner planned The students of Rail Road Flat Elementary School will present their monthly Farm to Fork free community meal on Thursday. The dinner will be served from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the school cafeteria on Railroad Flat Road. Dinner will include tamales, beans, rice and salad. The event will also include a showcase of the school's enrichment program, musical performances by students in grades kindergarten through second, and demonstrations and displays from other classes in art, gardening, photography, pottery and more.

Wine class offered at college A community education class offered at Columbia College will give participants the opportunity to explore wine types, regional differences in wines and winemaker influences. The class, "Love The Wine You' re With," will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Mondays, March 7, 14 and 28. Taught by Tom Bender, the class will have an emphasis on California and will include sensory evaluations, current wine trends and relationships with various foods. Bender has taught wine and hospitality managementclasses at the college for more than 35 years and manages an extensive wine department at a wine bar in Modesto. He also is a winemaker and columnist.

and tastings devoted to the advancement of Italian wines and foods with a focus on educating buyers on possible trends, marketing possibilities and the growing importance of the country's southern wine regions. While in Manhattan, we managed to miss snowstorms and cold weather while the event provided big city hospitality, useful insight and the usual dose of delightful Italian chaos.

Procsecco, their popular sparkling wine which has substantially increased their wine revenues, including a 10 percent increase last year in the U.S. Not to mention the export of wine-related equipment, which they boast as being the world leader. Discussionof recent vintages popped up, too. The year 2014 was the worst wine vintage in over 50 years as rain and cool weather plagued regions. But then the 2015 harvest was hailed as outstanding with one of the warmest and driest on record. Panel discussions included numerous tasting options, and I checked out themes such as Italian roses and lesser known white-grape varietals including Grillo (Sicily), along with Fiano and Greco (Campania). Sessions included discussion focusing on consumption patterns of the millennial generation,competition from craft beer

and cocktail interests, which is cutting into wine sales, and decline in consumption of wines under $9. This is a fearful concern to the southern regions, where the rise of premium wines and producers continue to shine against the struggles the southern bulk wine production is suffering. My favorite panel discussion and tasting was on Italian wines as a perfect match for American foods. Not only was it fun and informative, the panel was led by author Kevin Zraly, whose book I have used as my collegetext for over 25 years.His humor and unpretentious approach was appreciated in an industry that can get too caught up in itself. Later panels with a New York sommelier and an American wine academy director were out of touch reminders of the other side of the educational coin. "Italy had to unlearn winemaking after thousands of years and come to grip with a global market," according to Zraly. He also touched on the growing amount of wine sold by the glass and less by the bottle in nice restaurants.

One of his fellow panel members talked about the only true American cooking being barbecue and, fortunately, Italian wines are diverse enough to work with a number of foodinterpretations. "Don't overpower the wine with foods. And think American sandwiches with some of their whites. Fiano and a po' boy," Zraly said.

Another fascinating session with historic applications showed the Greek grape path 2,500 years ago with its journey through southern regions of Calabria, Puglia, Campania and Sicily. They planted vineyard nurseries throughout the region. It isestimated that there are over 500 potential grape types used for wine production in Italy. Some of the types are ancient and still important to the regions, especially in the south. You may thinkhot weather when you think of Sicily, but good shares of their vineyardsareelevated around Mount Edna. In Campania, the Greeks planted Greco and developed a successful white wine trade. "It is a native grape still grown in the region and probably the last taste of Pompei residentsbefore their demise atthe hands of the volcano," Zraly said.

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 Ouniondemocrat.corn

NBS Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 02/14/2008as Document No.: 2008002103, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Tuolumne County, California, executed by: FAZLOLLAH A SALARI AND CATHRYN J SALARI, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS JOINT TENANTS, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale bycash, a cashier' s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. Sale Date & Time: 03/01/2016 at 03:30 PM Sale Location: At the front entrance to the Administration Building at the County Courthouse Complex, 2 South Green Street,Sonora, CA The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 11300 STEINER DRIVE, JAMESTOWN, CA 95327 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an "AS IS" condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in saidnote(s), advances, if any, undertheterms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $266,868.45 (Estimated) as of 02/25/2016. Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwide ostin .corn, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.¹ 9551-4630. 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.

Spicy Vegetable Lo Mein

mushrooms, stems removed and caps thinly sliced Pinch of salt Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Shake well to

remove excess water. Transfer the noodles to a cutting board and roughly cut into thirds. Return the noodles to the pot and toss with sesame oil. Set aside. Trim 1/4 inch off broccoli (or broccolini) stalks. If the stalks are thicker than 1/2 inch, cut in half lengthwise. Keeping them separate, cut stalks and leaves into 2-inch-long pieces. Combine soy sauce, rice wine (or sherry) and hot sauce in a small bowl. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or large heavy skillet (not nonstick) over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 1 tablespoon peanut oil, add ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add mushrooms and broccoli (or broccolini) stalks, and stir-fry until all the oil is absorbed, about 30 seconds.

Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and add the noodles and broccoli leaves; stir-fry until just combined, about 15 seconds. Stir the soy sauce mixture and swirl it in. Sprinkle with salt and stir-fry until the noodles are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Recipe notes: Chinese broccoli has a slight bitter flavor reminiscent of broccoli rabe, which is a good substitute (as is broccolini). Look for it in Asian markets, at farmers' markets and some well-stocked supermarkets; opt for bunches with tight flower buds (open flowers are a sign of age). Shao Hsing (or Shaoxing) is a seasoned rice wine used in Chinese cooking to flavor sauces, marinades and stirfries. Look for it in Asian specialty markets or with other Asian ingredients in l arge supermarkets. In a pinch, dry sherry is a good substitute.

Whole Foods recalls potentially

deadly cheese WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (APlWhole Foods is recalling a cheese sold in one store in Florida and another in New York City because it may cause potentially fatal food poisoning. Spokeswoman Liz Burkhart said in a news release Tuesday that the upscale Texas-based chain is recalling "Pecorino Aged Cheese in Walnut Leaves" sold in Coral Gables, Florida, and the Bowery section of New York City. The cheese may be contaminated with listeria,a bacteria that can be fatal to young, old or frail people and cause stillbirths. The Bowery cheese has labels beginning with the code 294239 and sell-by dates from March 3 to 8. The Florida cheese has the code 290107 and sell-by dates from Feb. 29 to March 8. Burkhart s ays c u stomers should throw out the cheese and bring in their receipt for a refund.

Failure to communicate threatens marriage

Today in history

DEARANNIE: My wife and I have been marriedfor 22 years and have two

wonderful children. We both have college degrees and full-time jobs. I am an optimistic introvert, and she isa pessimistic extrovert.W ehave neverbeen close to each other socially. We have different interest and physical abilities. We also don't communicate much, even on important issues. I think conversations should be short and to the point, my wife can go on and on. She doesn't even try anymore because she believes I have no interest. Our sex life

is almost nonexistent. She has no interest in any type of intimacy. We both contribute to the problems, and I want to change this. I want to be closer and find common ground. But when I suggested counseling, she refused. She says everyone she knows who has tried therapy has ended up in divorce court. She thinks if I ask for counseling, it means I want a divorce. This puts me between a rock and a hard place. What would you suggest?

~ Annie's

, ) Mailbox — STYMIED HUSBAND DEAR STYMIED: We wonder how you two ever ended up married for 22 years. While it is true that some couples enter counseling as a pretense to justify divorce, a good counselor will not deliberately steer you in that direction. We' ve printed many letters from people saying that counseling saved their relationships by helping each person express themselves clearly so that positive changes could be made. Your wife has totrustyou enough to believe that you want to salvage your marriage. Please show her this letter and tell her you wrote it. Say how much you want to be closer, and ask her to come with

you forcounseling so both of you can 6nd a way back to each other. We hope she will cooperate. DEARANNIE: I want to respond to "Wondering Mom" about women who nurse their children without covering up. My 8-year-old son recently was exposedtoa woman openlybreastfeeding in my gym's daycare. He came home and askedme ifhe could geta drink from my breasts. I wish these women wouldrespectmy right as a parent to be present when my child is exposed to such things so I can explain what's happening. — NOT IN FRONT OF MY KID PLEASE DEAR NOT: Your son is old enough to know that babies nurse, especially in a daycare center at the gym, which is not the same as whipping off your top at the local coffee shop. A mother is not going to wait to nurse her child until other parents are present to explain things. Here are a couple more letters on that subject:

DEAR ANNIE: What about a child who becomes so overwhelming hot, no

matter how light the cover-up, that she pushes it aside? My daughter constantly exposes me in public and there's nothing I can do about it.— Poughkeepsie DEAR ~ : I nu r s ed both of my children. I either covered the baby with my shirttail or used a light blanket to shield myself. I nursed in church, in front of the pastor during his sermon, and he had no clue. I agree that the "naked from the waist up" trend is pushing the right to nurse in our faces, and is

not really a benefit for the child. Breastfeeding is wonderful, but not everyone has to watch. — Hlinois Annie's Mailbox is unwritten by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editorsoftheAnn Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@creatoracom,or writeto:A nnie's

Aspirin may have arole in preventing heart disease in those at high risk; however, becauseaspirin hasthepotentialfor seriousbleeding,the decision to take aspirin long-term should be made basedon your risk factors in combination with your doctor's advice. The best evidence for preventing dementia supports a healthy Mediterranean-style diet, high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts; low in saturated fats from meats; and high in monounsaturated fatsfrom oliveoilorothergood sources.

ATLANTA — The Golden State Warriorsreached 50 wins faster than any team in NBA history. Sounds nice. Doesn't mean more than that to this group.

With their eyes "+Rto on more than regular-season records, the Warriorsimproved to 50-5 as Stephen Curry scored 36 points and Golden State bounced back after squandering a 23-point lead to beat the Atlanta Hawks 102-92 on Monday night. The Warriors eclipsed the mark set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who needed one more game to win their 50th. Of course, that's the team Golden State is chasing, mov-

Anderson Varejao joins Warriors ATLANTA (AP) — Center Anderson Varejao joined the Golden State Warriors on Monday after agreeing to a deal for the ~eRt< rest of the season. Varejao passed a physical but was not expected to play in Monday night' s game in Atlanta against the Hawks. The Brazilian spent 12 seasons with Cleveland before being dealt last week to Portland in a three-team trade that sent Charming Frye from Orlando to the Cavaliers. The Trail Blazers immediately cut Varejao. Golden State wanted another big man with starting center Andre Bogut nursing a strained right Achilles and key backup Festus Ezeli out until at least late March with an injured left knee. Bogut was able to start against the Hawks. Coach Steve Kerr said he talked with former Atlanta general manager Danny Ferry about bringing in Varejao. "He told me Anderson was one of his favorite players he's had in the NBA as a player or a GM," Kerr said. "That seems to be the dominant thought from anybody who's been around him, so he' ll be great in our locker room and he' ll get a chance to play." Golden State waived forward Jason Thompson to make room for Varejao.

Columbia College head basketball coach Rob Hoyt walked into his oflice, also known as "The War Room," Saturday night and sat down after the Claim Jumpers lost 97-90 in double overtime to the West Hills Falcons. The young coach loosened his tie, rubbed his face with both hands, then leaned back in his chair with his hands interlocked behind his head. His team had just lost its fourth out of five games to end the regular season and the stress was evident upon on his face. With many thoughts racing through his mind, he removed his hands from his head, leaned forward with both elbows on the table, took a deep breath and smiled. "I think we are playing our best basketball and that was our best game," Hoyt said. "The outcome doesn't determine if it was a good

"Coach told us that whoever No. 23 is guarding, get him the ball and take it to the hole," Wilson said. "That happened to me be." West Hills took the lead with 10 seconds to play, and the Jumpers had the chance to take the final shot. Meserole had the ball on the right side of the court after coming off a screen. With the clock winding down and pressure in his face, he put up a prayer and the ball hit the side of the rim. Out of nowhere, Stallings jumped up forthe rebound and put the ball in the hoop 2 seconds before the buzzer sounded to send the game into overtime. ''We were trying to run a play that Coach drew up, and the play kinda got messed up because they were guarding us real tight," Meserole said. "So I tried to improvise and I think it was a bad shot.

"That call just shaped the whole game, and you never want that, but the officials did a great job throughout," Hoyt said. "From my vantage point, that was not the right call. The whole game he' s stiff arming our guys. I think he did there, too. They told me that DeAndre pulled him down, which is darn-near impossible."

BRIEFS Mavs sign veteran forward David Lee DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks have signed veteran forward David Lee and waived guard John Jenkins. Lee joined Dallas on Monday after getting waived by Boston, where had he had fallen out of the rotation following an ofF season trade with Golden State. The 32-year-old Le'.was a two-time All-Star, with New York in 2010 and the Warriors in 2013. But he was a seldom-used reserve when Golden State won the NBA title last season. Lee has career averages

Vettel fastest in est day of F1 preseason BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — In a good early sign for Ferrari in its bid to challenge Mercedes in Formula One, Sebastian Vettel was faster than reigning champion Lewis Hamilton on the first day of preseason testing on Monday. Hamilton was the first car out, but Vettel had the quickest time at the Circuit de Barcelona. Ham-

ilton was nearly half a second slower, and Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull was third, more than a second behind Vettel. Valtteri Bottas of Williams was fourth. Although test times often can be misleading, especially this early, it was clearly a positive start for Vettel, who was third in the standings last year and was the only driver to win races other than Hamilton and his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg.

Big first period carries Sharks over Blues ST. LOUIS (AP) — A big hit sidelined San Jose' sMatt Tennyson and fired up the Sharks.

Thornton also had two assists as San Joseimproved to 21-9-2 on the road, matching their total road wins &om last season. At home, the Sharks are just 11-12-3. Tennyson got hurt in the first period. Blues forward Ryan Reaves rammed the defenseman into the glass behind the San Jose goal and smashed his face into the divider. Tennyson dropped fiat on his back at 8:37, and Reaves received a 5-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct penalty. San Jose turned the sequence into two power-play goals.

"I think that's the ultimate retribution for a hit like that is to score two or threepower-play goals and that decision basically cost them the game," San Jose coach Peter DeBoer said. "I think Matt's OK He's not great obviously. He's probably concussed and will see what else. "Those are the kind of hits we' re trying togetrid ofso I'm sure the league will deal with it."

He became friends with Michael Jordan and Bubba Watson; spent an offseason in Arizona working on his golf game; bought courtside seats to the Charlotte Hornets; and became known forthrowing epic parties.

brated its first Cup championship, won by Kyle Busch and Gibbs. But on a personal level for Hamlin, the victory gives him the clout he's worked hard to earn throughout the garage. In a sport in which few drivers are willing to lash out at the sanctioning body, Hamlin has never shied away from criticizing procedures. He's been fined several times for using Twitter to take a shot at NASCAR, and he's yet to back down from pointing out injustices or inconsistencies.

Behind the scenes, Hamlin was the driving force in unifying the drivers into what ultimately grew into a driver council that debuted last season.

issues. Hamlin followed the recent dealthat created charters for the owners, and pored over the agreement to see if the drivers were being slighted. Although no one would credit him as the leader of the garage, his behind-the-scenes efforts to unify the drivers into one collective voice has paid dividends for all the competitors. No longerthat chubby kid who stunned the field in his debut Daytona race, Hamlin is a 35-year-old father and the most-tenured driver in JGR's four-car stable. His sponsorship deal with FedEx, that dates tohis rookie season, is also

one of the longest pairings in the sport. He still hangs with Jordanthe former NBA superstar cheered from Hamlin's pits a year ago as Hamlin again fell short in a championship bid — and he has an air of braggadocio that shows how comfortable he is in the spotlight. Now, with a Daytona 500 win, he's earned his shining moment.

In addition to Green's teamhigh assi sts,Curry doled out eight, Andrew Bogut had four and Thompson chipped in with three. "It's a special group," Curry said.
