Concerns for ensuring a steady water supply to about 3,200peoplein theLa Grange area through the rest of this year remained high Wednesday at a meeting of the Lake Don Pedro CommunityServices District. "Right now, we're still expecting the pumps to go dry by August," District General Manager Pete Kampa said. "By that point we have to have three new wells and an existing well online and running, producing a total of 350 gallons per minute round the clock." The primary challenge facingpeople served by Lake Don Pedro CSD is the district gets most of its water from Lake McClure, one of the lowest level reservoirs in California. McClure impounds waters of the Merced River and is operated byMerced Irrigation District, which is required to make mandatory releases to benefit downstream fis h populations.

Yosemite National Park officials are touting improvements recently made to the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite Village, which is now re-openedtothe public. Work on the upgrades began in October 2014, and it was completed Saturday, park officials said in an announcement. Structural rehabilitation, safety improvements, enhanced site circulation, electrical wiring upgrades, and drainage improvements were part of a $2.5 million project to enhance the gallery housing some of the world-famous photographer's most iconic work. Adams (1902 to 1984) was and remains best known for his black-and-white photographs of Yosemite.

GUEST OPINION
m QuF~ V
It'ssafe to say that the college experience is different for our kids than it was for many of us. We paid thousands of dollars less per unit, bought cheap textbooks and left college with no debt and a head start on building our lives. N ow, as p arents, w e
,

share our kids' trepidation with sweaty palms of our own as they open college acceptance letters and we worry about how we're going to help them pay for school. We celebrate with them as they embark on the journey of a lifetime and we know that as parents, we will make the financial sacrifices necessary to get them through to graduation day. When it comes to footing the bill for college, middleclass families often make too much money to qualify for state and federal financial aid. This makes saving for college in advance vital. In California, many families are using 529 accounts to put away cash. Already, about $6 billion is being saved in 529 accounts, but these accounts have an enormous potential for growth as more families discover them.
We recently introduced legislation that will help families saving for college by offering a tax deduction on the money they deposit in 529 accounts. It's a bill we hope will entice more families to save early and often. It would add our state to the list of 35 others, including New York, Colorado, New Mexico, South Carolina and West Virginia, where tax deductions are already encouraging families to save. Today, 7 million people across the country are saving for college with 529 plans. According to the College Savings Foundation, 80 percent of those families are middle-class. If passed by the legislature, Assembly Bill 209, known as the College Savings Tax Relief Act, would offer tax deductions on the amount deposited in a 529 account. With deductions of up to $3,000 for individual tax filers and up to $6,000 for married individuals filing jointly, AB 209 would help offset the high price of education. These costs will no doubt continue to soar. Our bill will incentivize middle-class families to save. When we consider that the class of 2014 graduated with the most debt of any other class before them, the need for college savings accounts has never been more obvious. More than half of all college graduates in California get their diploma followed by a payment slip for

Gender ID rekindles 'bathroom wars' More than 30 years ago, conservatives managed to defeat the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution, which would have added "sex" to the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection, by frightening women into believing that it would outlaw separate bathrooms for men and women. In the years since, the courts have effectively done what Congress couldn't, prohibiting discrimination in virtually everyaspectofAmerican life— except, of course, bathrooms, which never were really at issue. Then, as now, most establishments provide separate facilities for men and women.

Those that don't — airplanes being the most familiar example — provide "restrooms" that can be used by both sexes. In addition, "family restrooms" have sprung up so that anxious mothers of little boys no longer have to choose between dragging our sons into the ladies' room ("I'm not a lady," my son used to complain) and sending them alone into men's rooms and then patrolling the exit. I thought the bathroom wars were over, but I was wrong. Where should a fourth-grader who is biologically a boy but identifies as a girlgo to the bathroom? In Stafford, Va., the school board,

The College Savings Tax Relief Act is California's opportunity to help hard-working parents keep more of the money they are already saving for college.

ementary school that would have allowed the fourth-grader to use the girls' room. According to news reports, parents were afraid that letting this child use the girls' room would invite predators to prey on vulnerable children."We have now opened the door for any predatory individual — student, teacher or anyone in between — within our school system to claim the gender identity to enter the restroom or locker room of the opposite sex to prey upon our children behind closed doors," one parent reportedly claimed. At the meeting, a man who identified himself as the girl's father said he once agreed with such views, until his child changed his mind. "She's a very special person. I only implore of all of us as we move forwardthat we don't trade understanding for fear and that we don't trade misconceptions for hate." No such luck in Stafford, where the localboard voted 6-0 to force his daughter to use the boys' room. Letting a fourth-grader who identifies as a girl use the girls' room will not lead predators to prey upon our children. In debates like this one, the ficti tious would-be predators are almost always gay. (Remember the de-

Wrecks, spinouts reported during mid-week storm By ABBY DIVINE The Union Democrat
Tuesday brought some much-needed rain and snow to Tuolumne and Calaveras counties, but with the April showers came a combined 14
car accidents. Each county r eported seven collisions during Tuesday's storm. Three people suffered minor injuries in the Tuolumne County accidents, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Ken Bruce. Five people were injured in the Calaveras County crashes, according to CHP Officer Rebecca Myers. T he first a ccident i n Tuolumne Countywas reported at 3 p.m. Six others were reported between 4:20 p.m. and midnight, Bruce said. Calaveras County collisions began at 7:30 a.m., and the lastwas reported about
7 p.m., according to Myers. One notable Tuolumne County accident attributed to weather was a head-on collision on La Grange Road, according to Bruce. The crash happened at 4:20 p.m. about one mile south of Old Don Pedro Road, Bruce said. Donna Jandebeur, 52, of La Grange, was driving a 2004 Ford Explorer southbound on La Grange Road when her brakes locked up aftershe tried to brake on the wet road. Jandebeur's car slid into the northbound lane and into the path of a 1995 Honda Civic driven by Jason Wolfgang,39, of Sonora. The cars hit head-on, and both spun onto the eastbound shoulder of the road, according to Bruce. Jandebeur's p assenger, 45-year-old Mike Cabral, of La Grange,complained of pain and was transported
to Sonora Regional Medical Center, Bruce said. A Lodi man was also injured in a collision Tuesday evening in Angels camp. Robert Ulrey, 25, was driving a 1997 Ford F250 southbound about 6 p.m. when he lost control of his truck. The truck slid on the wet road until it landed in an embankment on the roadside, the reportsaid.Ulrey'sspeed was unknown.
About 15 drivers spun out and had to pull over on the side of the road on Highway 108's Twain Harte grade after snow began to fall about 4 p.m., Bruce said. With the dr y w eather, many drivers stopped carrying chains in their cars, Bruce said. The April snow storm took many by surprise,but drivers must always chain up before they pass a chains required sign, "even in April," he added.

sarnaev ui on a c ar es BOSTON (AP) — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted on all charges Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing by a jury that will now decide whether the 21-year-old should be executed or shown mercy for what his lawyer says was a crime masterminded by his big brother. The former college student stood with his handsfolded, fidgeted and looked down at the defense table in federal court as he listened to the word "guilty" recited on all 30 counts against him, including conspiracy and deadly use of a weapon of mass destruction. Seventeen of those counts are punishable by death. The verdict ,reached after a day and a half of deliberations, was practically a foregone conclusion, given his lawyer's startling admission at the trial's outset

The two shrapnel-packed pressurecooker bombs that exploded near the finish line on April 15, 2013, killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 other people, turning the traditionally celebratory home stretch of the worldfamous race into a scene of carnage and putting the city on edge for days.

While cataractsare generally more common in older people, Ardron has performed surgeries in Ethiopia on patients as young as 2. "It happens so much sooner and more often over there," he sald.
That puts a heavy burden on Ethiopian families who have to care for a person, some in the prime of their life, who is handicapped with poor vision or even total blindness. And daily life in Ethiopia is alreadyenough ofa struggle, with many villages having no accessto electricity or running water. "Seeing that really makes you appreciate what you have here," Ardron said. Ardron was born and raised in Syracuse, New York, to parents Phil and Irene Ardron, who passed away a couple years ago.

AWARENESS Continued from Page Bl consent of the recipient. And it's far more common that some people may think. There are 8.6 million survivors ofsexual violence other
than rape in California, according to Department of Justice statistics.
There are an estimated 2 million female victims of rape in California. In 2013, 7,459 forcibl e rapes and 1,049attempted rapes were reported for every 100,000 people, according to the California Department of Justice. However, there
were only 1,601 felony arrests made for those rapes. Recent county data was unavailable, but in Tuolumne County in 2009 (the most recent data available), 25 were reported. That year, 16 were reported in Calaveras County. However, rape is very underreported,for a variety of factors, including victims fearing they won't be believed, center staff said. In the past two weeks, one sexualassault survivor told advocatesat the center that law their story wasn't believed by law enforcement, and another said they didn't want toreport it because of fear of nobody believing them, Carter said.

Last October, when school systems in Solon, Ohio, and Parkside, Texas, closed because of overhyped Ebola fears, we worried that the "cry wolf" effect might interfere with real reasons to keep kids home &om school. You know, sometimes it's smart to keep them home to avoid infecting schoolmates and teachers with highly contagious but not lif e-threatening diseases that make the rounds again
and again. Keep your kids home if they have: PINKEYE. Also c a lled conjunctivitis, this super-contagiouseye infection causes a sticky discharge and red, swollen eye(s). Treatment: If it's bacterial, use antibi otic eyedrops.Keep kids home until redness and irritation is gone. STOMACH PROBLEMS. If your child is vomiting, has diarrhea and/or a fever, choose bedrest. Treatment: Fluids, children's acetaminophen and possibly a probiotic. If symptoms continue for 24 hours, see your doctor. Keep kids home for 24 hours after symptoms disappear. COUGHING. A steady or hacking cough — that's stayat-home territory. Treatment: Steamy baths, warm liquids and see your doc. No cough syrups for kids younger than 4; no adult cough medicine for children older than 4. Send kids back when the doc says it's OK SORE THROAT. Seventy percent of the time it's viral, not bacterial strep, so it's all about soothing and waiting. Treatment: If you suspect strep — it may cause headache, stomachache, fever, rash on the throat — get a swab testat your localdrugstore, then see your doc for confirmation, antibiotics and
a probiotic. Kids can go back to school after 24 hours if they feel up to it. MehmetOz, M.D. is host of "The Dr. Oz Show,"and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

The 2014 Relay in Tuolumne County raised more than $70,000. This year is the 30th anniversary of Relay for Life. The founder of Relay, Dr. Gordy Klatt in May 1985 walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Washington, ult i m ately raising $27,000 to help the American Cancer Society fight cancer. Ayear later, 340 supporters joined the overnight event. Since then, the Relay For Lifemovement has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, raising nearly $5 billion to fight cancer, according to its website. Klatt died Aug. 3, 2014, at age 71ofheartfailure after battling stomach cancer. "The overall theme is Finish the Fight,' " Bick said of all Relay events held this year."It's our reminder that, even though he can't finish it, we're going to continue on."

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.

He didn't want to at first, but he finally relented, and we continued on. I told him I loved him. Three months ago, Jay decided there was no way we could be anything more than friends. I struggled with just being friends, but eventually, I accepted it. Now, Jay seems to be making more and more fziends and is phasing me out.

How can I politely get them to shut up? —DREADING SHOWERS DEAR SHOWERS: If someone should start replaying the details of their birth experience, it's perfectly OK to say, in mock horror, ''Heavens! Please don't discuss that in front of all of usl A baby is a wonderful gift, and we all want 'Suzie' to look forward to the experience.I know you don'tmean to be so negative about it." They may insist they are only being informative, but new mothers are nervous enough without adding to their worries by relaying stories about what could possibly go wrong. Of course, some stories are funny or uplifting, and those should be encouraged. DEARANNIE: Thanks for printing
the letter from Magi Linscott, encouraging kids not to smoke. I quit smoking more than eight years ago, and I am so glad. I now know what my late father used to experience after he quit and then smelled cigarette smoke: He got sick. I do, too. I cannot believe this is what I used to smell like. My wife told me I stopped wheezing in my sleep within two weeks of quitting. And my VA health care providers arevery happy with me. Ifyou're still smoking, STOP! Don't say it's impossible.

Today is Thursday, April 9, the 99th day of 2015. There are 266 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On April 9, 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. On this date: In 1913, the first game was played at Ebbets Field, the newly built home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 1-0. In 1914, the Tampico Incident took place as eight U.S. sailors were arrested by Mexican authorities for allegedly entering a restricted area and held for a short time before being released. In 1940, during World War II, Germany invaded Denmark and Norway. In 1942, American and Philippine defenders on Bataan capitulated to Japanese forces; the surrender was followed by the notorious Bataan Death March. In 1959, NASA presented its first seven astronauts: Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard and Donald Slayton. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, 91, died in Phoenix, Ariz. In 1965, the newly built Astrodome in Houston featured its first baseball game, an exhibition between the Astros and the New York Yankees, with President Lyndon B. Johnson in attendance. (The Astros won 2-1 in 12 innings.) In 1983, the space shuttle Challenger ended its first mission with a safe landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

W .H. Auden, an Anglo-American poet,said, "Among those whom I like or admire, I can find I KQJ8 no common denominator, butamong those 4A whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh." West East That is a good guideline. Today, we have two 4 8 5 8 42 problems that do not have a common denomiV2 V AK J 7 6 nator. First, look at the South hand.

Y 853 This is a situation so many inexperienced 0 A54 players get wrong. They bid three spades, regardless of point-count. Yes, it is true that North, 4102 when entering the auction over an opponent's Dealer: West pre-emptive opening bid, will assume that South Vulnerable: Both has six or seven points — but he has noticeably South West N orth E a st more than that. South must jump to four spades. That is passed out. How should the defenders 34 Db l . Pas s ?? play to defeat the contract? If West leads the club king, declarer wins in the dummy, draws trumps, ruffs his last club Opening lead:V 2 in the dummy, and runs the diamonds for an overtrick. But if West leads his singleton heart, East wins the first trick with his heart jack, then cashes the heart ace and king. What should West discard? West should throw the diamond nine followedby the diamond two: high-low with a doubleton, asking for a diamond shift. Then, when East leads a diamond at trick four, West ruffs to defeat the contract. Andy Robson, an English expert, pointed out that if a pre-emptive opener leads a side suit, that will be a singleton. If instead he leads hisown suit, play him for a singleton in your trump suit.

PUBLIC NOTICE
APN: 081-063-12-00 TS No: CA08004784-14-1 TO No: 140228984-CA-VOI NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED May 4, 2012. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On April 20, 2015 at 03:30 PM, at the front entrance to the Administration Building, at the County Courthouse complex, 2 S. Green Street Sonora, CA 95370, MTC Financial lnc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on May 10, 2012 as Instrument No. 2012006142 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Tuolumne County, California, executedby JARED HICKMAN, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for SCENIC OAKS FUNDING as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: SEE EXHIBIT "A" ATTACHED HERETO AND MADE A PART HEREOF EXHIBIT"A" LOT 65, AS SHOWN ON THE MAP ENTITLED,"CRYSTAL FALLS RANCH UNIT NO. 1B,"FILED IN THE RECORDER'S OFFICE OF TUOLUMNE COUNTY, JULY 18,1967 IN VOLUME 3 OF SUBDIVISIONS, PAGES 13 THROUGH 20, INCLUSIVE, TUOLUMNE COUNTY RECORDS. The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 17000 OAKTREE LANE, SONORA, CA 95370 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 without covenant or warranty, express 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 said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee's Sale is estimated to be $139,079.68 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary's bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier's check drawn on 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 California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee's Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08004784-14-1. 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.

The A's shut out Texas in another win after Sonny Gray carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning of Monday night's 8-0 victory, a , combined one-hitter with Evan Scribner. Oaldand has outscored the Rangers 19-3 over the first three games heading into Thursday's finale. Cody Ross added an RBI single and drove in two runs in his Oakland debut after arrivingjust before batting practice. He was released last weekend by Arizona and chose to join the A's over other dubs that expressed interest in signing the veteran outfielder, who earned NL championship series MVP honors while leading the San Francisco Giants to the 2010 World Series title across the bay. Lefty Ross Detwiler (0-1) was done after 4 1-3 innings in his first start since July 3, 2013, with the Nationals in a season cut short by back problems. He was tagged for eight
runs — seven earned — and nine hits with two strikeouts and two walks. And he didn't get much help &om a defense that committedtwo ofitsfour errorsin the fourth inning alone that led to the A's adding on. Canhahad a forgettable first opportunity as a big league first baseman. In the first, he thought he had scooped up leado6' man Leonys Martin's bunt and tried to reach and tag him but didn't have the ball. Ks hit helped erase any sting &om that play. His drive hit the top of the wall in rightcenter then bouncei back onto
the grass. The umpires went to review to determine if it had been a home run, but the call stood after 1 minute, 27 seconds. Delino DeShields entered to play center field in the seventh for his major league debut.

MLB sendswarning letters on player pace
Masters offers major learning curve for most
NEW YORK — Major League Baseball has started sending written warnings to players who have violatedthe new pace of game rules. MLB spokesman Michael Teeven said Wednesday about 10 letters had been sent since the start of the season last weekend. Penalties for violating the new rules include fines, which start May 1. Hitters are required to keep one foot in the batter's box, with exceptionssuch as after foul balls. Pitchers in most
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger Woods was the exception. Ben Crenshaw was closer to the rule. Woods joined up with Crenshaw to play the back nine Wednesday on the final day of practic e for a M asters that is shaping up as a mystery in many ways. They are Masters champions with multiple green jackets. What separates them is how soon they got them. Crenshaw had to suffer a little before he could celebrate his first major. He was

majors, including a playoff loss to David Graham at the PGA Championship,before he broke through in 1984 at Augusta National. He won another one in 1995. Woods wasted no time. He won the first major he played as a pro by setting 20 records in his 1997 Masters victory, and that was only the start. He already had eight majors before he recorded his first runner-upfi nish.He had four greenjackets before he turned 30. More players have taken the Crenshaw route. Tom Watson. Nick Price. Phil Mickelson. Adam Scott. The group even includes Jack Nicklaus, who was a 20-yearold amateur when he finished second behind Arnold Palmer in the 1960 U.S. Open. Nicklaus played that day with Ben Hogan, who also had a chance to win until he hit into the water on the 17th hole at Cherry Hills. Hogan said after the round, "Don'tfeel sorry for me. I played with a kid today who could have won this Open by 10 shots ifhe had known now." Nicklaus figured it out. Also on that list is Rory McIlroy, who returns to the scene of his greatest lesson in
Favors,3azz rally for win over Kings SALT LAKE CITY Derrick Favors scored 18 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked three shots to lead the Utah Jazz to a 103-91 victory over the Sacramento Kings. The Jazz have won fiveof six with four games remaining, with both teams already eliminated from the playoffs. Favors was a steady force in a choppy game between teams missing their best
players. DeMarcm Cousins sat with a foot injury for the Kings, while Gordon Hayward played just 19 minutes for the Jazz. Rodney Hood finished with 20 and a career-high seven rebounds, Rudy Goberthad 12 points,10 rebounds and two blocks. The Jazz erased a six-point halftime deficit in the third quarterand started the fourth with an 18-5 run. Omri Casspi led the Kings with 16 points, while Jason Thompson added 12 points and 11 rebounds.
3ack Nicklaus sinks ace at par 3 contest AUGUSTA, Ga.— Jack Nicklaus thrillcd the crowd Wednesday at the annual Masters par-3 contest,
makingahole-in-one on the fourlh hole. The six-time Masters champion, playing in the exhibition at age 75, spun an iron shot back into the hole for the ace. His ball bounced twice, then took a third hop before retreating into th e
h ole.
Nicklaus was congratulated by playing partners Ben Crenshaw and Gary Player. Nicklaus acknowledged the ovation from the crowd, raising his arms in the air with a double fist-pump. He says he may have called his own shot. "It's funny, I had an interview this morning and I said, Well, all I've got to do is go out and win the Par3 and make a hole-in-one,' and Imake a hole-in-one," Nicklaus said.
Ex-Raiders WRArt Powell dies at age78 ALAMEDA — Art Powell, who led the AFL in yards receiving in backto-back years for the New York Titans and Oakland Raiders, has died. He was 78. Powell died at his home near San Diego on Monday night. The San Diego UnionTribune reported Powell had been dealing with heart and other health problems and had recently spent a week in the hospital. Powell played 10 years in the NFL and AFL for the Eagles, Titans, Raiders, BiHs and Vikings. He led theAFL with 1,130yards receiving in 1962fortheTitansbefore joining the Raiders the following season. He had his best success in Oakland, leading the AFL with 1,301 yards and 16 touchdown catches in 1963 in Al Davis' first year as coach. Powell had 1,361 yards receiving the following season. — The Associated Press

He handled the collapsewith remarkable poise, said he would learn from his mistakes. And then he posted scoring records at Congressional two months later in the U.S. Open. "A lot of that win has to do with what happened at Augusta," McIlroy said. The Masters is even more meaningful now.

"Everything I've done, all the work I've done gearing up for this week has been good," McIlroy said. "I'm just ready for the gun to go off on Thursday." The expectations are higher than ever for McIlroy, and lower than ever for Woods, who is competing for the first time since Feb. 5.

that had become so bad that hardlyanyone recognized it. Woods has shown much improvement in three days of practice, including the nine holes he played with Crenshaw and Jordan Spieth. McIlroy and Woods, even at dif Ferent ends of the spectrum, have dominated the talk so much this week that a large group of contenders have largely been ignored.

The Irishman made bogey on the final hole at the 2002 British Open that cost him a spot in the playoff at Muirfield. He finished with three straight bogeys at Winged Foot in 2006 and finished two shots behind in the U.S. Open. Ayear later,he won the first of his three majors, going backto-back at the end of 2008. "You do need to be in that situation a couple of times to be comfortable," Harrington said. 'That's not true for everyone. But for most players, you have to lose a few before you can win a few." Maybe that explains why no Masters rookie has won a green jacket since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. Or why the Masters has the fewest number of first-time champions compared with th e o ther threemajors over the last 20 years. McIlroy paid a steep price four years ago and found redemption in other majors right away. Still missing, however, is the green jacket.

QUESTIONS 8tATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybea few actualanswers
4
THINGS WE L D DURING THE OFF-WEEK
SPEED FREAKS 3 questions we had to ask —ourselves
NASCAR viaGetty Images/SEAN GARDNER
Guess who still holds the record
for top-10s to start a season?
Have you ever bled your tires?
Longest top-10 streak since ... Morgan Shepherd?
GODSPEAK:No, but on those really cold winter
Yep, that's right, a Morgan Shepherd
mornings, my "low pres-
mention in the record book. Three
sure" tire indicator shines bright. KEN'S CALL:Not to gain speed or traction, and not on purpose.I'm a magnet for roofing nails.
drivers (Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano, Martin Truex) have started 2015 with six consecutive top-lOs, which is impressive ... unless compared to
Shepherd's 11 consecutive top-10s to start the 1990 season. Younger fans might only know Morgan as the guy who keeps showing upoccasionally with a race car well into his 70s, but
Did Ryan Newman's penalty send a message?
between 1989 (when he was only 47)
GODSPEAK:No. Let's see, he's still got one win and he's in the Chase. That's all that really matters. KEN'S CALL:Yes, and that message is: "Take your cheating ways to a different part of the car."
and 1995, he finished between fifth and 14th in the points. Once a latebloomer, now a perennial.
'T' for Texas, and what else?
/pylrpy t]
5 different winners so far, who's next?
• •
'T' for Tires. As in another "emergency tire wall" fronting an inside retaining wall. In the ongoing wake of Kyle Busch's Daytona wreck, Texas has added protective tire barriers on inside walls in advance of this week's racing.

GODSPEAK:Give me Jeff News-JournaI/NIGELCOOK
Gordon, and somebody

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline com/nascar
1. Rolling eggs
2. All scattered
3. Dropping the hammer
NASCAR usually gets one White House photo op a year when the Sprint Cup champ shows up with one of his cars to get his picture taken with the president. Jeff Gordon
Stock-car folk took off in every direction during a rare weekend off. As noted, Gordon went to Washington, D.C., while others headed to the Caribbean looking for rest and relaxation. The next weekend off is scheduled for June 21, followed by back-to-back
The Richard Childress Racing No. 31 Chevy team was penalized and fined for manipulating its supply of Goodyear tires in Fontana. Crew chief Luke Lambert was hit for a total of $125,000 and suspended for six weeks, pending appeal. Reminder — don't mess with Texas or NASCAR. Ever.
and his kids (Ella, Leo) went to visit President Obama on Monday to participate in the 137th annual Easter Egg Roll. Take that off the bucket list.

races in California (Sonoma) and Daytona. Yikes!
For inside walls, it'll work. But tires aren't as aesthetically pleasing as SAFER Barrier. The outside walls need a semi-solid, of course, which means the SAFER sales staff will keep humming as NASCAR's tracks fill in the gaps. All of the gaps, if they're smart.

FEUD OF THEWEEK
THINGS TO WATCH FOR AT TEXAS
CUP POINTS 1. Kevin Harvick
Is that the ultimate answer?
A lot of people go to Washington, D.C., for vacation, but not everyone gets invited to roll Easter eggs at the White House. Then again, not everyone is a four-time NASCAR champ.
give him a rabbit's foot. KEN'SCALL: Matt Kenseth, who's more overdue than California rain.
1. Back in the saddle

Kyle Larson missed Martinsville after fainting during an autograph session the day before the race. The 22-year-old has been cleared to compete in the Duck Commander 500 on Saturday night.
TONY STEWART
TONY STEWART Vs.MATT DIBENEDETTO: Stewart got angry at the rookie during a practice session at Martinsville when DiBenedetto cut in front of him. They had a heated exchange, with Stewart doing most of the talking. GODWINKELLY'STAKE: "DiBenedetto wisely went back to Stewart and explained himself after everybody had cooled off a bit. The rookie said, 'It's all over with now.'
2. In lieu of ••• ... the SAFER Barrier, Texas has installed 150 feet of tire barrier in three locations along its interior concrete retaining wall. Some 450 tires were used in constructing the barriers. Anything is better than unforgiving concrete.
3. Guard dogs
"
NASCAR got a whiff of a stinky tire smell from the garageand found the No. 31 Chevy team had tire-tampered at Auto Club Speedway. NASCAR slapped the team with fines and penalties. Everybody will be on their best behavior this weekend.
