Wet spells from Friday to Monday brought less than a half-inch of rain to Sonora

and a few inches of snow to the mountains — totals that did little to alter the region's drought outlook. Local weather readings show Sonora received 0.35 inch of rain between Friday and this morning. Since July 1, the first day of the weather year, Sonora has received 15.20 inches. The average for Sonora through the end of February is 22.59 inches. Twain Harte recorded 0.70 inch of rain and 0.25 inch of snow over the weekend. In Calaveras County, CopperoSee STORM/Page A6

Unable to recoup the cost of reviewing construction plans and issuing building permits under the current fee structure, the Sonora City Council on Monday unanimouslyadopted some new and slightly higher rates. All of the city's Building Safety Division fees have remained the same for the past 17 years and no longer cover the cost of the work done by city staff, according to City Administrator Tim Miller.

Video showed the man reaching toward the oi5cer's waistband, Chief C h arlie Beck said. The oi5cer's gun was found partly cocked and jammed with a round of ammunition in the chamber and

another in the ejection port, indicatinga struggle for the weapon, Beck said. "You can hear the young officer who was primarily engaged in the con&ontation saying that 'He has my gun. He has my gun,'" Beck said. Then three other officers opened 6re. The man was black, as is the rookie officer who was just short of completing his probationary year on the force.

osemie'see an is ac i n Last summer, conservationists, elected officials, and government representatives gathered to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's signing of the Yosemite Grant 150 years ago — the first time in world history that a natural landscape was setaside to be protected for public use in perpetuity. The Yosemite Grant set the stage for America's national park system

the globe and now includes places like Ecuador's Galapagos Islands and Tanzania's Serengeti. But there was a proverbial "elephant in the room" as officials spoke glowingly of restoration projects that would improve Yosemite for future generations while they presided over a ceremonial groundbreaking to remove the asphalt parking lots that have damaged the park's Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias.No conservationist or official, however, made public mention of the loss Yosemite suffered when the once iconic glacier-carved Hetch Hetchy Valley was clear-cut, dammed and floodedin the early 20th century. Well, the elephant is back. Or perhaps it never leit. National parks across the country are gearing up to celebrate the

National Park Service officials. They do understand the importance of Hetch Hetchy's legacy. After all, three former Yosemite superintendents serve on Restore Hetch

Hetchy's Advisory C ommittee. Strict guidelines prohibit existing officials from expressing personal pointsof view on proposals to restore Hetch Hetchy, but does that mean the National Park Service Sierra Club /Courtesyphoto (above), File photo/ Union Democrat (below) cannot acknowledge Hetch Hetchy's Hetch Hetchy Valley as seen from Surprise Point in 1908 (above). The valley now holds water from the role in its creation? Failure to do so Tuolumne River (below). is to ignore history. Not to be outdone, later this month University of California, Berkeley, will host a conference titled "America's Best Idea: the next 100 Years." The two day summit will featurea plethora of distinguished speakers from academia and the

Service in 2016. In honor of this anniversary, Yosemite has designated 10 signature projects that will enhance the visitor experience. It is not surprising that none of these projects involve the Hetch Hetchy area as it is the least visited portion of Yosemite. It is disappointing that the National Park Service fails to acknowledge the prominent role that Hetch Hetchy played in its very creation. After all, the bitter nationwide battle over the Raker Act in 1913 led to the passage of National Park ServiceAct three years later — assuring that no destruction like the damming of Hetch Hetchy Valley would take place ever again in any of America's national parks. It is an awkward situation for

a keynote address by renowned biologist E.O. Wilson. The UC Berkeley College of Natural Resources website for the summit proudly points out that the university hosted a conference 100 years ago that provided nmajor inspiration" for the creation of the National Park Service. Again, the website includes no mention of the seminal role that the damming of Yosemite's Hetch Hetchy Valley played in the creation of the National Park Service and there is no indication it will be included in any of theconference presentations or discussions. Far too often, the Hetch Hetchy story is swept under the rug. For too many it is a painful memory and perhaps it detracts from hope-

Humansshouldtake priority over salmon To the Editor: Both Tom McClintock and Domenic Torchia (Opinion page Feb. 24) have some good thoughts relative to how to handle water during our long drought. Mr. Torchia says that we should get serious about how we are to conserve what little water we have left, and Mr. McClintock, addressing a plan to dump morethan 100,000 acre-feetof water to help

Chinook salmon, says that, after all, if these fish evolved to withstand floods, didn't theyalsoface droughts? S tatistics s h o w tha t Tuolumne County residents are doing a pretty good job conserving water. Perhaps McClintock could submit a bill to Congress that declares, because of the multiyear drought, humans are an endangered species with priority ahead of the salmon. Mike Lamasney Tu)ain Harte

Calaveras County students gathered Saturday for a Lego robottriathlon at Bret Harte High School. Five robots and about 10 students from Toyon Middle, Mountain Oaks and Bret Harte schools participated in the event hosted by the Bret Harte High School Cybullfrogsrobotics club on Saturday in the school's multipurpose room. The Lego robots competed in three events: sprinting, navigating their way through a maze and a zigzag line. All of the robots were on wheels. Cybumrogs mentor Ken JesseJones iU nion Democrat Baldwin said he "raised the Taben Randall, 11, of Angels Camp, watches his Lego bar" in terms of challenging robot run the maze portion of Saturday's competition. the students creativity and "the kids responded wonderfully." A robot made by Richard Davis,14, of Arnold, completed the 7-meter sprint in four seconds.

The fastest maze-running robot was constructed by Taben Randall, 11, of Angels Camp. Randall's robot finished the maze in 1 minute and 53 seconds. Toyon student Nathaniel Ratkovich,14, created a robot that followed the zig-zagged line in one minute and six seconds, according to Cybullfrogs mentor Timothy Randall. The event was an informal competition and all participantsreceived a certificate of achievement, Randall said. Saturday's Lego robot triathlon was the second of three events hosted by the Cybullfrogs club. The first was a robot sumo wrestling competition held in November.

By AMY SHERMAN Tribune Content Agency

Waking up is hard to do. Really hard. For some,a strong cup ofcoffee or tea helps.Not for me. I wake up slowly. And after being up for at least an hour or two, I tackle breakfast. Left to my own devices, I would probably just eat brunch and save the real breakfast food for dinner, but my husband prefers something a bit more traditional. The big problem with breakfast for me is always what to have. Savory or sweet? Both are appealing, but if I eat something sweet I may not get enough protein and, as a result, I'm ravenous barely an hour or two later.

Nutritionists recommend a "balanced" breakfast, meaning both carbohydrates and protein. Easy to do with eggs or cheese, but harder to do with sweets like pancakes. Having sausage or bacon on the side is anotherway to go but probably not the best choice every day. French toast or crepes are both sweet and have protein, but I'm always looking for more protein-rich sweet options. Ricotta pancakes are a perfect way to go. The ricotta gives you plenty of protein, and the pancakes only have a couple of tablespoons of flour, so you're not filling up on carbohydrates. Best of all, they are really delicious and cook up in a flash. Of course, serving them with bacon is up to you.

Eggplant adds weight to rich ragu Tri bune Content Agency

Eggplant gives this pasta sauce a rich meatiness that complements the ground beef. Plus, the eggplant allows us to use a little less beef but still have a generous and hearty serving.

Rigatoni with Bee f and E l a ntRa u Servings: 4 Preparation time: 35 minutes 8 ounces whole-wheat rigatoni, rotini or penne 8 ounces 92 percentlean ground beef 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed 3 cups diced eggplant, (about 1/2 medium) 2 teaspoons extravirgin olive oil 2 8-ounce cans no-saltadded tomato sauce

Tribune Content Agency

Beef and eggplant are used in rich Rigatoni with Beef and Eggplant Ragu.

1 cup red wine 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 2 teaspoons pine nuts, toasted (see tip) 1/2 cup crumbled feta, (optional)

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. Meanwhile, cook beef, garlic and fennel seeds in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned, about 3 minutes. Add eggplant and oil; cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant browns, about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and wine; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir in oregano, salt and pepper. Drain the pasta; serve topped with the sauce and sprinkled with pine nuts and feta, if using. Tips and notes: Prepare the sauce (Step 2); cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To toast pine nuts, cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.

Common pantry staple dressed up for dinner We all have personal staples in our kitchens — favorite herbs, condiments, sugar, flour, canned and frozen foods, etc. And, in most of our kitchens, there is a staple that is also found in nearly every kitchen in the world. It is a plant member of the bamboo family called Oryza sativa (aka rice) and feeds more than one half of the world's population. In an archeological dig in China called Yuchanyan Cave, a few grains of rice were found dating back to 12,000 to 16,000 B.C. This grain, that had its origins in Asia, is now internationally grown. It took a while before cultivation; which began around 7,000 to 4,000 B.C. Now, it is grown on every continent except Antarctica; apparently the penguins don't like it. But many other wild critters do. Deer

and muskrats love the tender roots. Birds, especially geese and ducks, dine on it daily. Old What's His Name, another wild crit-

Short ribs are the quintessential caveman cut, straight out of Fred Flinstone's larder, with their hunks of rich meat on the bone, looking primal and carnivore-ready. They're a rich winter meal, too, easy and forgiving to cook under their sleek caps of fat, melting into tender chunks of pull-

apart beef in the oven.

If you're feeling like a hibernating caveman and want a delic ious,comforting, beefy m eal, here's a step-by-step recipe to help you take short ribs and turn them into a dinner with almost no work. Hunting not required.

Buying short ribs In the past, short ribs have been a favorite meal of mine for another reason, besides their incredibly rich taste: They are inexpensive. Well, that may have changed a bit in the last few years. This formerly cheap cut, found with the stew beef and other tough braisingmeats,hasbecome so trendy and spotlighted that prices (at least in my grocery stores) have risen accordingly. Have you noticed this, too? But they're still a d eal compared toa steak or tenderloin, and perhaps your butcher isn't as sensitive to trends. The tradeoff in this price hike is that it's easier to find them. A few years ago, I would always have to ask at the butcher counter for short ribs; these days I often find

To chill or not to chill? Short ribs usually come with quite a bit of fat, and while you can trim some of thiso6'beforecooking Iprefer not to, since it insulates the meat and keeps it moist and tender while cooking. But all that fat, melted off during cooking, can give a pronouncedgreasy feelto the meat. So I prefer to chill short ribs overnight and remove the chil led fat before reheating and serving. They reheat easily on the stove or in the oven and usually taste even better with this overnight rest. This step is also why I think short ribs are such a convenient dinner party dish! You can do all the work the day before then just reheat and serve.

othercutsofbeef. I usually buy short ribs with the bone still attached, which is cheaper. The more expensive boneless cuts are convenient, though, and easier for serving, but I think the bone adds flavor in cooking, too. Sometimes the short ribs will be chopped into short chunks, with one or two bones apiece. Other times you may find longer strips, like I have here. It really doesn't matter either way since the meat is going to fall off the bone after it is cooked, and the meat becomes sotender that it's easy to separate into individual servings.

Recipe notes • To cook in the slow cooker, progress through Step 4, then transfer the meat, onions and liquid to a slow cooker insert. Cook on low for 8 hours. • Instead of transferring the pan to the oven, you can also cookthe short ribs on the stovetop. Keep the pan covered and cook over low heat for 2 to 3 hours, checking liquid levels intermittently and making sure the bottom isn't scorching. • You can get creative by using a stronger spice rub, different kinds of beer ll like the slight bitterness an IPA provides), red wine or sherry.

on your hood vent or fan, if you have one! Sear the short ribs without moving for several minutes on each side, letting them brown deeply. Use tongs to turn and sear all sides. This will take about 15 minutes total. 3. Turn the heat down to medium and add theonion and garlic around the browned short ribs. Let the onions sweat for about 5 minutes or until they soften. 4. Add the liquid — beer, wine or broth — and bring to a simmer. 5. After the liquid comes to a simmer, add the herb sprigs then cover the pan tightly. Put the covered pan in the oven. (Alternately, this is the point where you can transfer to the slow cooker for 8 hours on LOW, or continue cooking on very low heat on the stovetop.) Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is very tender and coming away from the bone. 6. Whenthemeat is done, rest in a covered pan for 20 minutes before serving. Serve by gently tugging the chunks of meat away from the bone and spooning the saucy onions over top. 7. OPTIONAL STEP —Refrigerate overnight. 8. To reheat, cover and warm over low heat on the stove for 15 to 20 minutes.

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.com

Overlooking slight for hubby's sake advisable DEAR ANNIE: My husband's sister controlled his mother's finances. "Carol" paid the nursing home with her mother's credit card and gained reward points, which she used for vacations while Mom was still alive. My husband was the one who handled doctor visits, brought Mom to our home for dinner and did all of the necessaryerrands. Caroltold me she would not care for Mom if her money ran out. When Mom died, she left a small estatethat took Carol over a year to distribute, and she kept a few thousand dollarsin a separate account. Carol recently announced that she is going to have a memorial for Mom,

I have never seen my husband so angryand upset.Oncehehad calmed down, I suggested he call Carol and tell her off Instead, he said this is just her personalit y and forgetabout it. My husband has always been the whipping boy for Carol. He tells me to find it in my heart to forgive, but I'm tired of forgiving this type of cruel and selfish behavior. I refuse to go to this memorial, because I view it

lake so we could scatter Mom'8 ashes where she had enjoyed many summers. That's fine. But Carol proceeded to put a deposit down on a big cottage, made a list of everyone she wanted to attend and then informed my husband that we would have to get our

I told my husband to go without me, but I know I'll resent it if he goes, and he'll resent me if he stays. I really need some help dealing with this last slap in the face. — STUMttED ONCE AGAIN D EAR STUNNED: You a r e

thinking of this as a favor for Carol, but it is really for your husband. He wants to attend the memorial and have your emotional support. By refusing, you are only hurting him. Carol won't care whether you are there or not. We agree that she is behaving terribly, but it serves no purpose to rile up your husband by emphasizing Carol's mistreatment and selfishness. It won't change her. It will only make your husband more unhappy. Please go with him and let him deal with Carol as he chooses. DEAR ANME: I am eight months pregnant. It floors me how many friends say, 'Wow, you're getting so big" every time I see them. Recently, I overheard someone tell a pregnant woman, "You look a lot bigger than with your last one." Most women I k now are not thrilled about gaining weight, even during pregnancy, and it is easy to

be self-conscious about our changing shape. We don't need such insensitive comments. I know these people aren't trying to be hurtful, but who wants to be told they're huge? If it can't pass as a compliment, please keep it to yourself.— PREGNANT NOT FAT DEAR P REGNANT: P eople somehow can't help themselves. They speak before theirbrains are totally in gear and blurt out offensive comments w i thout meaning to. We hope your letter will encourage folks to think twice, but in the meantime, try to show forbearance.It' s good practice for when you are raising children.

Allergic reaction to psyllium fiber a rare thing DEAR DR. ROACH:I would like to know if you have ever heard of a person being allergic to psyllium fiber? My doctor suggested I take Metamucil for constipati on,asopposed to stoolsofteners. However, when I took it, my face and eyes began to itch, I began to wheeze and I coughed until I vomited it up. My doctor stated he had never heard of anyone being allergic to it. As a side note, my husband has used Metamucilfor years,and Ihave had a couple of episodes of wheezing and shortness of breaththat could be attributed to inhaling some of the powder when he mixed it. — P.G. ANSWER: I haven't seen any cases either, but it can happen, rarely — most oftento people who have allergies to grasses or dust. It is possible that inhaling some of the powder started the allergy.

Todayin history Today is Monday, March 2, the 61st day of 2015. There are 304 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On March 2, 1965, the movie version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Broadway musical "The Sound of Music," starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, had its world premiere at New York's Rivoli Theater. On this date: In 1940, the cartoon character Elmer Fudd made his debut in the Warner Bros. animated short "Elmer's Candid Camera," in which the title character finds himself pitted against a rascally rabbit that was a precursor to Bugs Bunny. In 1955, nine months before Rosa Parks' famous act of defiance, Claudette Colvin, a black high school student in Montgomery, Alabama, was arrested after refusing to give up her seat on a public bus to a white passenger. In 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks, an NBA record that still stands. (Philadelphia won, 169147.) In 1972, the United States launched the Pioneer 10 space probe, which flew past Jupiter in late 1973, sending back images and scientific data. In 1985, the government approved a screening test for AIDS that detected antibodies to the virus, allowing possibly contaminated blood to be excluded from the blood supply. In 1990, more than 6,000 drivers went on strike against Greyhound Lines Inc. (The company, later declaring an impasse in negotiations, fired the strikers.)

IIORIICI'E Birthday for March 3. Industrious efforts win big this year. Luck, profit and status follow when you play full out. The Spring Equinox solar eclipse (3/20) inspires a personal flowering.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Today is an 8 — Stay flexible

He drew trumps, played a club to dummy's ace, and returned a club to his jack. However, the finesse lost, and the defenders cashed two more heart tricks to defeat the contract. The winning line was to duck (lose) a club at trick three. Now the defenders would have been powerless. They could not have done better than to cash a second heart trick and play another trump. But then South would have drawn trumps, cashed his club king (the honor from the shorter side first), overtaken the club jack with dummy's ace, and discarded his last heart on the club six. This line requires a 3-2 club break, which is 67.8 percent a priori, much better than a 50 percent finesse. The mathematics have spoken.

SAN JOSE (AP) — With their playoff position in peril, the San Jose S harks dea l t a way some o f their pe n ding unrestricted &ee agents in their latest move toward the future. The S h arks s w apped fourth-liners with Chicago, trading forward Andrew Desjardins to the Blackhawks for forward Ben Smith, dealt forward Tyler Kennedy to the New York Islanders for a draft pick and swapped minor leaguerswith Colorado before Monday's trade deadline. Those moves followed Sunday's trade of James Sheppard to the New York Rangers for a fourth-round draR pick in 2016 "For so many years we've sat and anxiously awaited what was maybe coming and who was coming in to try to put us over the top and help us," coach Todd McLellan said. "Obviously, we're in a different situation now." These latest moves continue a process that began in earnest after San Jose blew a 3-0 series lead to Los Angeles in the first round of the playofFs last spring. General

His caddie, Ronan Flood, reminded him of that Monday morning in the Honda Classic when Harrington was four shots behind at the turn. "He said, 'Look, would you have taken this on Thursday?' And I said, Yes, that's what you want,"' Harrington said. 'You want to be in contention with nine holes to go, because anything can happen coming down the stretch. And it did." Not even Harrington could have written the script to his playoA' victory atrain-soaked PGA National. He ran oA' four straight birdies on the back nine to take the lead. He gave it back with a 5-iron into the water for double bogey on the par-3 17th.

Sonora Wildcat senior Kahale Warring was named by Mother Lode Leagueboys'basketballcoaches asthe Most Outstanding Player during the 2015 season. In 12 league games, Warring, a senior6-foot-5forward, scored 252 points for an average of 21 an appearance.

For the season, he shot better than 42 percent&om the fi eld and had one of hisbest overall performances in a 68-58 road win over Summerville in mid-February. Warring dropped 30 points against Sonora's Tuolumne County rival and shot 58 percent on 11 of 19 shooting. He also drained all three of his attempts from beyond the arc and grabbed 12

rebounds to go along with four steals and a block. "He's a force," Summerville coach Ben Watson said of Warring. "He can stretch out there because he can shoot an outside shot. He can put the ball on the ground and go towards the hoop. He goes to the basket hard. He gives you problems when you're trying to defend him."

It'sthe rest of Harvey's story that makes what he's accomplishing special. Consider that Harvey, despitebeing recognized as one ofthetop high schoolplayers in Southern California, had zero offersto play top-tier college basketball as his high school career wrapped up. He avoided the summer basketball circuit and college coaches deemed him too slight physically to handle the rigors of the Division I game. His only opportunity was an offer from Jim Hayford to play at Division III Whitworth, a privateschool of less than 3,000 in nearby

"I was 6-feet, 6-1 coming out of high school, about 150. A lot of coaches look at that as a small and don't see me as college ready to play. I think that's what really held me back," Harvey said.

the next 10 minutes as the Eagles staged a huge rally to force overtime and win 77-74. It was just the start. Harvey has played in 64 games for the Eagles since leading that comeback. He's scored 30 or morepoints 10 times; 20 or more 39 times. During that span, Harvey has failed to score in double figures only twice. He averaged 21.8 points pergame lastyearasa sophomore. With two regular season games left, Harvey's

it was for Berger. He had a 15foot birdie putt to win on the 18th in a playoff and narrowly missed. Then, he watched Harrington hit 5-iron to within 3 feet on the 17th on the next playoffhole. ''He's a great player, and that shot on 17 was kind of a dagger in the heart," Berger sald.

Paul Casey, who lost in a playoff at Riviera last week, was tied for the lead until a bogey on the 14th hole. He never caught up, missing a 20-foot birdie putton the 18th that would have got him into another playofK He closed with a 68. Casey tied for third with Russell Knox (68) and moved to No. 45, getting him into the World Golf Championship at Doral. Phil Mickelson was four shots behind when the final round resumed Monday morning. He missed a 10-foot par putt at No. 9, didn't make a birdieand shot 73 to tie for 17th.

at 22.8 points. And to top off Harvey's accolades, he was named a firstteam academic All-American last week. "To realize he had this high of a ceiling, I had no idea," Hayford said. "Tyler deserves the full credit for the work that he has put in." While winning at Indiana and playing at California, SMU and Washington provided a stage for Harvey, he knows the biggest audience awaits in the NCAA Tournament if the Eagles can get there. The schedule Eastern Washington faced playing those power conference teams on the road makes the Eagles the kind of opponent higher seeds will not enjoy seeing should they win the Big Sky Conference tournament.

"We hada really tough preseason schedule. Playing at Indiana, it doesn't get much better than that," Harvey said. "We definitely go into any situation fearless and we're ready for whatever happens."

Harrington was five shots behind when he pulled his tee shotat No. 11,so far left it was on a muddied patch of grass that had been trampled by the gallery. He hit 4-iron at the right flag, over the water, to 15 feet for a birdie and a three-shot swing when Poulter hit into the water for double bogey. That was the start of four straight birdies. That one shot might explain one of the more complex minds in golf. In the lead with a good lie, he sees trouble. From behind and in trouble, he only sees opportunity. "I'm not going to win the tournament unless I take it on," he said. With a one-shot lead on the 17th hole in regulation, he tried not to make a mistake and hit in the water. In a playoff on the 17th, he fired at the flag. "Believe it or not," he said with a smile, "when I get in contention I can still hit the shots."

NHL San 3ose snaps 8-game home skid SAN JOSE (AP) — Ben Smith scored just hours a fter be i n g a cquired b y San Jose in a deadline deal and the Sharks shut out Montreal for the third straight meeting in a 4-0 win over the Canadiens on Monday night. Joe Pavelski, Matt Irwin and Patrick Marleau also scored for the Sharks, who snapped an eight-game home losing streak by beating the top team in the Eastern Conference. Alex Stalock made 20 savesfor his fourth career shutout and first win of any kind since Jan. 6 at Minnesota. That performance foHowed Antti Niemi's two shutouts against the Canadiens last year, giving San Jose three straight shutoutsagainst a single opponent for the second time in team history. They also did it against Phoenix in 200708 season. The Canadiens got off to a bad starton their fourgame West Coasttri p as they were outplayed from the start against San Jose. Carey Price made 33 saves and had his franchise record 10-game road winning streak snapped.

SHARKS Conti nued from PageCl manager Doug Wilson responded to that by saying the team needed to take a stepback in order to take two steps forward with younger players. That step back has put San Jose in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since the 200203 season. The Sharks have lost 10 of 13 games heading into M onday's game against Montreal to fall into 10th place in the Western Conference. San Jose has also lost eight straight home games for the first t i m e since the

1994-95 season. Despite t h e re c ent slump, they are only two points out of a playoff spot at the deadline and don't believe they have given up on the season just yet. "We're certainly not throwing the towel in," forward Tommy Wingels said. 'That's not how we think, that's not how the coaches

think, that's not how management thinks. We'll do everythmg we can to be in the playoffs and make a run at the Stanley Cup." Kennedy never fitin with the Sharks aAer being acquired for a secondround pick during the 2013 draft. He had eight goals and 18 assists in 92 games with San Jose. The Sharks will receive a seventh-round pick in 2015 for Kennedy unless the Islanders win the Stanley Cup and Kennedy plays in at least half the games in the final. In that case, San Jose will get the lower of New York's or Vancouver's 2016 thirdround pick. D esjardins ha d fi v e goals and three assists in 58 games for San Jose this season. He also is used as a penalty killer. He is eligible to be an unrestricted free agent aRer the season. Smith had five goals and four assists in 61 games. He is under contract for one more season and is expected to arrive in time to play Monday against Montreal. The Sharks have lost their past two games in regulation despite leading aftertwo periods,a first in franchise history. The team responded by canceling practice Sunday for a players lunch meeting. "We've tried a lot of things to get our game turned around," center Logan Couture said. "It was just another thing to try.It doesn't matter

what we do unless we come out andplay some better hockey."
