A fire late Wednesday night claimed the main hall of the Union Hill Inn on the historic Pedro Ranch property in Sonora. Owner Don Stutzman called in the fire and was the only one on the property at the time. He escaped without harm. "I was here alone and I smelled something so I ran through.

Sonora High School student Levi Lowe progressed to the final round of the Poetry Out Loud National Finals Wednesday night in Washington D.C. Lowe was knocked out of the competition after reciting threepoems before a panelof judges in Lisner Auditorium at The George Washington University. "In order to win this competition, the contestants need to show a wide range of skills demonstrating that they can bring clarity to difficult texts, perfectly remember long poems and evoke emotions in the audience without themselves emoting. Levi has masteredthese skills,and we are so proud of how far he has come in this very competitive field," said Rick Foster, Tuolumne County Poetry Out Loud coach.

The four-day, twice-annual concert series was a big economic and cultural boon for the county for 30 years. That was before it was cancelled during and after 2013's Rim Ere. In 2014, the city and county of San Francisco declined to renew the organizers' permit to use Camp Mather as a site for the shows. The San Francisco Parks and Recreation Department dubiously said the location lacked adequate water and was perilous following the Rim Fire, because of unstable trees and hillsides in the surrounding forest. To the disappointment of many, the festival was moved to the Nevada County Fairgrounds for Labor Day 2014. It will be held there again this spring. To return the event to Tuolumne County, the county Board of Supervisors must still sign off on a use permit. The board is tentatively scheduled to hold a public hearing in mid-June before deciding whether to approve the live-music-event permit, allowing the event to be held at the Westside property in Tuolumne. Some may say it's premature, but, barring some unforeseen downside, we think the board should approve it. Far as venue, the Westside property and generous owners, the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians, have hosted crowds a few times with no problems, including November's "Hare Scramble" dirt bike competition and, could we forget, all those firefighters stationed there during the Rim Fire. There are already parking and some other facilities on site, leftover from a failed amusement park built there in the 1970s. With the county still shell shocked by the economic recession, Rim Fire, government shutdown, drought, etc., the festival would provide a much needed morale and economic boost. It would give the county even greater exposure to outof-towners than the original festival, since all the traffic that turned off Highway 120 at Yosemite Junction en route to Mather now would pass through Jamestown, Sonora and Tuolumne. The benefits are solid. The time is ripe. The county should bring back Strawberry.
Solution proposed
for city fly invasion New buzz on the fly front... The Cityof Sonora has made headway toward solving downtown's pest problem in time for tourism season. According to City Councilwoman Connie Williams, the city recently hired an entomologist to study the flies and determined the nasty, pesky critters are common house flies. They apparently enjoy shade as much as people and thus are congregating under the downtown area's awnings, she said. The best way to get rid of the flies, Williams said, is for businesses to run house fans outside their entrances, as this will shoo them away. For all our sanity, we encourage all businesses to follow this advice.

Defeatism won't solve Baltimore woes Using the most bloodless terms, an economist explained the failure or inability of so many African-Americans to rise from their impoverished circumstances. They do not respond to the economic incentives that push others to study and strive, he said. Penniless peasants from Central America pile into freight trains to secure any job in the land of plenty. Black immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa are clearly moving up. So have many African-Americans who've left poor city neighborhoods for the suburbs and others who've remained. T he economic incentives in t h i s country Rash neon lights to most of the world. The one thing that can dim them is defeatism. The rioters in Baltimore and others who defend their activities even halfway have mastered the defeatist language. The deck is totallystacked against poor blacks,they insist, so why even try? That's not to say they have a terrific hand to play. The moronic war on drugs has incarcerated huge numbers of black men in an undeniably racist way. A changing economy has made economic progress tougher for working people of all colors. The mass immigration of unskilled workers has burdened their nativeborn counterparts with i n t ense com-
petition for jobs. The immigrants are by and large excellent, hardworking people, but it's dishonest to pretend that the labor market isn't run by the rules of supply and demand.

Froma Harrop And what aboutthe death of Freddie Gray while in the custody of white policeofficers— the match that litthe Baltimore violence. It's part of an aw-
ful pattern of abuse, poor training and bad hiring in many urban police forces. It also refiects the genuine (and often justified) fear many police feel in encounters with angry young blacks. Every confrontation has its own story. But the claims that the city isn't doing anything for the poor black neighborhoods are a disconnect from reality. Is that why high-school kids burned down a CVS the city worked hard to secure for them and, even more inexplicably, a low-income senior housing project costing a reported $16 million? As expected, cable news has been looping footage of the chaos. That in itself attracts more violent exhibitionistsand looters. So it was gratifying to see CNN airing a very intelligent (and long) interview with the Rev. Jamal Bryant, pastor of the Empowerment Temple AME Church in Baltimore. Bryant has led both the peaceful protests against the Gray shooting and efforts to stop people from attacking their neighborhood. "These were not gang members,"

he said. "These were high schoolers." Thus, he shook his head at the city' s decisionto close the schools the day after. "I opened up my church." Of the school kids, he stated: "They say nobody cares. More will care when they care about themselves." The defeatist mentality, by contrast, often comes off as militant but is actually passive: Nothing is being done for us. "They" haven't paid attention to our neighborhood. The CVS employing locals and a new home for the elderly were not nothing. Nor is the neighborhood'sonce-fi ne urban streetscape, which could be made handsome again. To get there, though, one must think as an active builder, not as a plaything of uncaring forces. The positive coming out of the Baltimore story was how many black residents of the blighted neighborhood expressedlove for their city and demanded to know why the kids weren' t home studying. And there was the superb Toya Graham, the mother seen dragging her rioting teenage son off the streets. These kinds of forthright actions pave the road out of defeat. One need not move even a block to get there.

landscape of the 1960s. 'The only class I really liked in high school was draft ing. I took it all four years," Atkins said. He enrolled in the University of Southern California's School of Architecture after high school and, in the spring of 1970,decided to make a change. A modification to the draft lottery minimized Atkins' chances of being sent to Vietnam — being a college student kept him safe from the draft— so he seized the opportunity to take stock of his lifeand dropped outofcollege. "It gave me the opportunity to step off the treadmill of life-is-moving-forward-andI-have-no-control-over-it," he
whole life and neglect what Jesus has done for you?" said the man, before abruptly returning to his seat. It was the first time the name "Jesus" had entered his life, and the question stayed with Atkins on his return trip home. Atkins ran out of money in Miami while flying back to Southern California. He ended up in a rescue mission where again he was asked to accept Jesus into his heart. Over the following months, Atkins studied the gospel and attended church groups. He was baptized shortly after that. He now looks back on that decision as one that permanentlyaltered the course of said. his life, and remains steadfast Atkins, his brother and two in his convictions. friends began planning a trip It sparked a faith that to Europe over the next few would lead him to pursue his months.

that do not recirculate the
crazinessof the world," said Atkins. But the dream of escape gave way to the desire for a family, and the two sought a more traditional home. They moved intoa home built by Atkins in 1981 near Ponderosa Hill. The house sat on a piece of land his father bought during the family's short stay in Twain Harte in 1955. Atkins eventually made the move to Summerville Elementary in 1986, after deciding the pay at Mother Lode Christian wasn't enough to support a growing family. The move to Summerville Elementary meant leaving a Christian ministry, and put Atkins in place where he could no longer fully express himself. "It's very important that everybody knows who Jesus is, what he did, and why his life is so important. That's me to the core since I' ve been saved, but my employment is in a setting that believes that' s not very significant at all." The new position created a tension between Atkins' beliefs and what was expected in a secular workplace. He remembers one instance in particular when his beliefs caused concern in the community. He was teaching sixthgrade literature and the California curriculum included studies of the Hebrews and Ancient Greeks. Atkins wanted to supplement the material with Bible scripture. Atkins cleared the lesson plan with former Summer-
ville Superintendent Ron Parker, but when students returned home after class, parents launched a campaign to pull the Bible from Summervilleclassrooms. They feared that 12-year-o lds were too easily influenced and could not distinguish fact from faith. Atkins said he was only using the scripture to supplement studies of Western Civilization and not proselytizing. The Union Democrat covered the debate — which ended with Summerville Elementary allowing Bibles in the classroom.
Though his intentions in the classroom were found justified, he admits he would like to have been able to share the gospel with students. Atkins said he now prays for the students instead of speaking directly to them. 'That perspectiveoflearning to pray for kids and their well being has been a learning curve that I'm glad to have learned," said Atkins. Though the conflict between his convictions and his role asa community leader has underlined much of Atkins' career, it is what has shaped him into the educator his staff and students are sad to see leave.
"I don't think there's a kid on this campus who doesn' t t hink highly of hi m a n d knows he cares about him," said Bullock. Bullock has worked with Atkins since 1997. The two first met while working at Summerville E l ementary's Day School. The school served
students that could not be taught in a traditional classroom settingdue to behavior problems. Bullock remembers Atkins going "above and beyond" his duties as a teacher during this time. One student from the day school reached out while in prison just to thank him for caring, said Bullock. Atkins — who was ordained as a minister in 1998 — has also conducted services for Summerville students who have tragically passed away. As he considers his retire-
ment as Summerville Elementary principal, Atkins said he will miss the opportunity to be a role model and sourceofsupport for the students. "It is a privilege to help kids sort through the good choicebad choice thing," he said. On the other hand, there is a deep sense of relief, as nearly all of his time spent at Summerville has required him to exerciserestraint of his speech and works. At the end of his career, Atkins is looking forward to showing others that there is more that defines him than his hobbies. "I'd rather not have a story that's TY the principal who goes snowboarding and surfing when he gets the chance, and would love to go back to Europe,' " said Atkins in an email. "Because that's been the tension here. People see me, but they don't know what's going on behind my face or in my heart."

By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat
A bill moving through the state Assembly would force pregnancy centers to give out referralsfor abortions — even centers with philosophical objections. Directors at religiously affiliated pregnancy centers in both Tuolumne andCalaveras counties say the bill would forcethem togo againsttheir "pro-li fe"mission statements.

inform patients about avail-
ableassistance for affordable contraception, abortion, and prenatal care, including how to get that assistance. The bill also requires that facilities that offer similar services but do not have a medical license must disclose that they are not licensed facilities and do not have a licensed healthcareprovider on staff. It passed the Assembly Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and will go before the state Senate at an as yet undetermined date. The bill was authored by Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, and Assemblywoman Autumn Burke, D-Los Angeles. The bill is sponsored by NARAL Pro-Choice California and Black Women for Wellness. "This bill will hugely affect us," said Sissy Hedrick, executivedirector ofthe Calaveras Door of Hope in Angels Camp. "We are a pro-life organization."

Insure rs skirt ACA's protection for women By CARLA K JOHNSON The Associated Press
Some insurance plans offered on the health overhaul law's new marketplaces violate the law's requirements for women' s health, according to a new report f'rom a women's legal advocacy group. The National Women's Law Center ana-
lyzed plans in 15 states over two years and found some excluded dependents from m aternity coverage,prohibited coverage of breastpumps orfailed to coverallfederally approved birth control methods. The reportcalls for regulators to do a better job reviewing the plans and for insurers to comply with the law. It calls for more public access to health plan coverage documents, especially aspeoplecomparison shop for coverage. Gretchen Borchelt of the National Women's Law Center said violations leave women "without the coverage they need." "The health care law has done so much for women. We now need to make sure it
"We' re just here to help them. It's their choice. We want them to be informed," Winnick said. The Door of Hope had 17 new clients in 2014 and has launched an advertising campaign so more people know it is there and the services it provides, Hedrick explained. So far this year, there have been nine new clients and more pregnancy tests than in all of 2014, Hedrick said. The center offers "non-judg-
reaches every woman and every woman gets the full range of benefits required by the law," Borchelt said. Karen Ignagni, CEO of the trade association America's Health Insurance Plans, said the report presented a distorted picture. "Healthplans provide access to care for millions of women each day and receive high marks in customer satisfaction surveys. To use highly selective anecdotes to draw sweeping conclusions about consumers' coverage does nothing to improve the quality, accessibility, or affordability of health care for individuals and families," she said. Health and Human Service Department spokeswoman Katie Hill said the Obama administration takes "reports of non-compliance very seriously," will continue to provide guidance to insurers and states, and ''will explore whether additional measures are necessary." "Thanks to the (Affordable Care Act), tens of millions of women have gained access to and are using much-needed health care," Hill said. Under the health law, most health insurance plans must cover all Food and Drug Administrati on-approved contraceptives as preventive care for women, free to the patient. The idea is to help women determine when they get pregnant and to increase the

agement that they might not get elsewhere, Hedrick said. Services also include tips on how to stay on a budget, encouragement in job hunting or continuing education, ongoing support for mothers, and postabortion recovery and support groups. Hedrick said she is fearful that if AB 775 is finalized, more laws or regulations will be passed in the future that will damage what centers like Door of Hopeare trying to do. "I feel like it's our freedom and ourright to do our specific task we have organized to do ... just like it's Planned Parenthood's right to do what they do," Hedrick said. "We do know, through all this, it's going to bring greater awareness of
The report found 15 insurance companies in seven states that failed to cover all the FDA-approved contraceptives. For instance, a Wisconsin plan excluded sponges. A South Dakota plan wouldn't cover a longlasting hormonal method that involves a small rod implanted under the skin of a woman's upper arm. Other plans required financial cost-sharing for some birth control methods but not others, according to thereport. Problems cited by the report induded one Tennessee plan that wouldn't cover maternity coverage for dependents, which could include spouses or offspring under age 26. Plans in Colorado and South Dakota limited te number of ultrasounds a pregnant woman could receive. An Alabama health plan capped the number of prenatal visits at six a year. Health plans in Colorado, Ohio and Tennessee excluded breast pumps from coverage in2014, the reportsaid. The analysis found problems with at least one health plan in every state, including on both state-run marketplaces and states relying on the federal HealthCare. gov exchange. The states included in the report are Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin. Most health plans are complying with the law, Borchelt said.

ly against abortion and will not donate if the organization has anything to do with helping someone get one. The Foothill Pregnancy Centerserves approximately 120 people a month between its medicalservices and education programs. The average age of cli ents is 18 to 25,butthey see women of all ages, Winnick said.

"Nor do they refer their clientsto us,"H edrick said of abortion providers. "That's why we have health departments and all the organizations out there to do what

needs todocument every instance of Mandy'serratic behavior and keep copies of her h arassing emails in case she follows through with her threats. Do not send her money as a consequence of her blackmailing efforts. It will only reward her negative behavior and ramp up the demands. Instead, if youchoose to do so, you could offerto pay for therapy sessions (sending the money directly to the therapist after verifying credentials). This would be for the benefit of your grandchildren, who need their mother to be stable and loving.
DEARANNIE: I disagree with your advice to "Too Many Grandmas,n whose mother doesn't want her ex-husband' s fiancee, 'Kitty," to be called "Grandma Kitty." While bitterness and a grudge may play a part, the bigger issue is that ''Kitty" did not give birth to or raise these children. It is inappropriate to give her the title of "Grandma." To do

ROACH: My doctor will not issue maintenance medication prescriptions for longer than three months. My insurance company has sent me many emails asking me to have him write them for the year, and when I mention it to him, he just refuses. I have been seeing him for five years, aiid everything is just fine. All blood-work numbers are excellent. He has just posted a sign in his office that no prescriptions will be refilled without an ofIIce visit, so I am not the only one subject to this policy. We like this doctor, but we think this practice is somewhat overbearing, if not unethical.

not respond to calls &om a pharmacy for refills; only a visit will do. Is there anything that can be done other than changing doctors? — A. ANSWElt I wouldn't say that this practice is unethical. Physicians need to decide for themselves how comfortable they are in treating chronic coiiditions without seeing their patients for a prolongedperiod.Ks method ensures very regular follow-up, and he is likely to find changes to your condition more quickly than if he wrote yearly prescriptions.
On the otherhand, many people don't need such close follow-up, and it is significantly less convenient for many. The bottom line is, no matter what his motivation for such a policy, those who find this too much of an inconvenienceprobablywould dobetterwith a different provider. Readers may write Dr. Roach, MD.,

Today in history Today is Thursday, April 30, the 120th day of 2015. There are 245 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On April 30, 1945, as Soviet troops approached his Berlin bunker, Adolf Hitler committed suicide along with his wife of one day, Eva Braun. On this date: In 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France for 60 million francs, the equivalent of about $15 million. In 1900 engineer John Luther "Casey" Jones of the Illinois Centra I Railroad died in a train wreck near Vaughan, Mississippi, after staying at the controls in a successful effort to save the passengers. In 1939, the New York World's Fair officially opened with a ceremony that included an address by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1958, the American Association of Retired Persons (later simply AARP) was founded in Washington, D.C., by Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus. In 1968, New York City police forcibly removed student demonstrators occupying five buildings at Columbia University. In 1973, President Richard Nixon announced the resignations of top aides H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst and White House counselJohn Dean, who was actually fired. In 1975, the Vietnam War ended as the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon fell to Communist forces. In 1988, Gen. Manuel Noriega, waving a machete, vowed at a rally to keep fighting U.S. efforts to oust him as Panama's military ruler.
BRIIIG Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Today is a 9 — Career opportunities arise over the next three weeks, if you' re up for the challenge. There may be tests involved. Stay respectful with elders and authority figures. Watch out for breakage at home. Don't let it destroy domestic tranquility. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Today is a 9 — Begin an educational journey. Expand your influence over the next three weeks, with Mercury in Gemini. Envision the long-range implications. Stick to tested strategies and techniques. New opportunities arise for advancement.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Today is a 7 — Find ways to empower your partner over the next three weeks, with Mercury in Gemini. Brainstorm solutions together. Learn from each other. Be respectful.

Take care of the details, or suffer the consequences. Your work is getting more very interesting over the next three weeks, with Mercury in Gemini. Beliefs and assumptions get tested. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is an 8 — Communication barriers dissolve over the next three weeks with Mercury in Gemini. Words come easily. Write, record and broadcast your story. It's easier to see past the hype to the fundamental truths of a situation. Express your view. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):Today is a 7 — It's easier to express yourself at home for the next few weeks, with Mercury in Gemini. Talk with family. Collaborate on household chores and projects.

How to go to battle with your health insurer and win By KIMBERLY LANKFORD Kipli,nger's Personal Finance
You' ve made all the right moves to get your insurer's approvalfor treatment so you won'thave to fi ght for coverage later. So imagine your dismay when you receive a surprise bill from the i n surance company. Don't pay it. Wait until you get the explanation of benefits to find out why your claim was denied. (These forms can be difficult to decipher; ask the insurer for a translation.) The doctor may have billed with the wrong tax ID, or you may have used an old insurance card. In such cases, an appeal usually isn't necessary, says Patrick Shea, a claims specialist and director of MedicalClaimsHelp.org, in Green Bay, Wis. "You can get the errors reprocessed with a phone call." Coding mistakes can also cause problems. The provider's office may have input the wrong code for the procedure or the diagnosis. "Sometimes the doctor can resubmit it with a different
diagnosis and p r ocedure code, and the charge will be paid," says Kathleen Hogue, a medical billing specialist in Twinsburg, Ohio. To spot mistakes from

bill that breaks down each cost separately,especially for complex procedures and hospital stays. "Anytime you receive a bill from a facility, you should ask for a detailed, itemized bill to know exactly what you' re being charged for," says Pat Palmer, founder of Medical Billing Advocates of America, in Roanoke, Va. You may have been charged for services you didn't receive, in which case you can usually fix the error with a phone call or by providing the medical records. Kim Jacobs of Lakeville, Minn., had both authorization issues and clerical errors. Two years ago, she
was medically necessary, in hopes of overturning the denial. In the meantime, Jacobs contacted Palmer and her colleagues for help. They asked the hospital for an itemized bill and successfully disputed several of the charges, bringing the bill down by nearly $4,000. Disputing errors on the bill is a good strategy for knocking down the cost while you' re undergoing the more complicated processof appealing. Jacobs continues to pursue her appeal with help from Palmer and her colleagues.

FDA approves injection for melting away double-chin fat NEW YORK (AP) — The Food and Drug A dministration said Wednesday it a p proved an injection designed to melt away double-chin fat. The agency approved a drug called Kybellaforadultswith moderate or severe fat below the chin, or submental fat. It's the firstapproved drug for Kythera Biopharmaceuticals.
The drug is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a chemical the FDA said is naturally produced by the body and helps it absorb fats.Itdestroys fat cells by breaking down the cell membrane. The agency says patients can get up to 50 injections in one sitting, but treatments should be at least one month apart and patients should get no more than six. Kythera plans to start selling Kybella in the second half of 2015, and said in regulatory filings that it thinks the injection could top $500 million in annual sales. The Westlake, California, company said deoxycholic acid is a safe ingredient found in severalother approved drugs. Ithas also filed for marketing approval in Australia, Canada and Switzerland and wants to

market the drug in other countries. Citing market research and surveys by dermatologists, Kythera says U.S. consumers spend more than $1 billion a year on cosmetic facial injections like the anti-wrinkle treatment Botox and dermal fillers, and that number is expected to keep growing. Many patients who undergo those treatments would also be willing to have a Kybella injection to eliminate fat under their chins, the company said in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Kybella isn't approved for injection into any other part of the body. The FDA said the most common side effects of the drug included swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and hardness in the treatment area, while more serious side effects included trouble swallowing and nerve injury that can cause an uneven smile or muscle weakness.
Shares of Kythera Biopharmaceuticals Inc. fell$2.05, or 4.8 percent,to $45.59 Wednesday An FDA advisory panel recommended approvingKybella on March 9.The company's stock has climbed 15 percent since March 4, a few days before thepanelvote.

Zack Greinke (4-0) allowed three runs and seven hits with six strikeouts. The 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner is 22-1 with a 1.95 ERA in 32 career starts against NLWest teams since signing a six-year, $147 million contract with the Dodgers in December 2012. Greinke is 6-0 with a 2.28 ERA in eight starts against the Giants. Vogelsong (0-2) threw 55 pitches over three innings, giving up six runs and five hits in his third start this season after replacing injured Jake Peavy in the rotation. It was the second time in 146 major-league starts that he surrendered four homers in a game. He did it on Sept. 3, 2014, in a 9-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.

The Sonora Wildcats boys' golf team capped two straight undefeated league seasons Tuesday and won its second consecutive title.
The Sonora Wildcats, champions of the Valley Oak League last year, held off the Bret Harte Bullfrogs at Castle Oak Golf Course to claim the Mother Lode League championship. Bret Harte sophomore Mitchell Menzes shot the low score of the tournament, a 6-over par 77, to earn medalist honors, but Sonora's depth carried the Wildcats to a 433-451 victory. 'This is fantastic.

The fate of the Lady Reds softball team is in its own hands. Calaveras has won eight straight games and if the Reds can win four more, starting with county-rival Bret Harte today, to end the season, they will claim at least a share of the Mother Lode League championship and the conference's No. 1 seed in postseason.
During their eight-game win streak, the Lady Reds (16-7, 12-2 MLL) have been pushed the distance just twice, winning the other six by the 10-run mercy rule after five mnlIlgs.

They appearedat a fi nalprefight press conference with nothing bad to say about each other, and couldn't even bring themselves to scowl for pictures. If the past five years were personal, with the two camps trading barbs, the fight itself is not. Pacquiao will be fighting for his legacy and a country desperate for him to win, while Mayweather will be fighting to add to his already substantial bank accounts. That was apparent when Mayweather was asked if being undefeated was the biggest motivation for him. "At theend of the day my daughter can't eat no zero," Mayweather said of his unbeaten mark. "She can't spend a boxing ring." Money shouldn't be a problem for the Mayweather family after this fight. Not with total revenue of some $300 million — and possibly more if the pay-per-view is the hit that network executives privately think it will be. Mayweather won't be the

Mayweather has spent as much time this week talking about the mansion in Las Vegas, the home in Miami and the privatejet that seats 14 than he has about Manny Pacquiao. He even fi gured outthe math when it comes to dividing it up among his kids. "Let's say I make $200 million," Mayweather said. "That means my kids for this fight will get $50 million apiece. I think I made a smart move." Indeed, Mayweather proved a smart businessman in signing for a fight that will likely earn him $180 million or more. But the smartest thing he may have done was delay the fi ght five years so it would be mustsee TV, even at a record price of $99.95.

shoulder, butplayed two more games with what turned out to be a season-ending injury. "I had previous shoulder problems from other sports, as well as weight lifting," Arenas said. "Right before halftime I went to block a shot and I ended up dislocating my shoulder and tore my labrum. I ended up playing the rest of the half, plus two more games in the tournament before being told I needed to have surgery." With Arenas playing with an injury, and not telling anyone about it, Hoyt knew that he had a tough player on his team. And for Hoyt, toughness is key. "You have to be tough and smart to play here, and Travis is both," Hoyt said. "There was a point in that game where he was playing hurt with two minutes left. There was a loose ball and he dove on his hurt shoulder to get the ball and poke it to one of his teammates. We ended up scoring and won the game. At that moment, you could tell who he was as a competitor. I already knew who he was as a person, but that moment will always stand out in my mind as a shining example of how tough of a player he truly is." Arenas spent three years at Columbia, two on the active roster and one as a redshirt with an injury. Although his numbers were not at the top of the league, he knows that his time at Columbia preparedhim forwhat'sahead. "I really enjoyed my time at Columbia and being on a team that every year got better andbetter, " Arenas said. "I have been able to grow as a player, put a little bit of size on, and then learn a lot from the players and coaches I have been around. The more players you play with, the better you become because you learn a little bit from everyone you play with."

"His work ethic is outstanding," Hoyt said. "A lot of guys, when they get a scholarship, stop working. That's not Travis. He's in the weightroom everyday, in the gym everyday, and his motivation just to be successful is more than a lot of people' s. Throughout the course of this year, he had plenty of opportunities to be frustrated. There were
a number ofgame's in a row that he didn't play. He went from starting, to not playing, to starting again. He never had a bad attitude about it, and continued to fight to get the most out of what he could. Whatever Maritime decides to throw at him, he will be ready for.

Oriole s manager Buck Showalter heard the bullpen phone ring from the dugout. "I think everybody was real careful about what they said from the dugout because everybodyon the fi eld could hear it, the umpires and them," he said. The empty stands would have been a foul ball collectors dream.
The Orioles' souvenir shop was closed. A sign on the door said, "Dear Loyal Orioles Fans Ourstoreisclosedtoday. We will reopen on tomorrow
O10:00AM." The unrest from the past week wasn't forgotten. Outside Camden Yards, Brendan Hurson carried a sign that read, "Don't Forget Freddie Gray," with the 0's in the shape of the Orioles' logo. The fans who hunkered beyond the fence went wild when Davis went deep in the first inning — because just like the ball, they were outta here.

He accumulated a long list of achievements, winning several Dally M Awards given to the bestand most fairplayer in the National Rugby League for the regular season. He was named Player of the Year, Best Fullback, Top Tryscorer and Representative Player. No accolades or nickname yet in his new home. "I thought I was going to get Skippy or Aussie, but it' s just Jarryd, which is even unique because at Parra everyone had a nickname," he said with a chuckle. "The Aussie slang is so much different.

but plans to soon start looking for an apartment. He will look to lease his own car, too, and turn in the rental. "I' ve just really been embracing it, every situation I' ve been in," he said. "Most of the time you can't prepare for it. You have to go with it and do your best." The 27-year-old Hayne decided last year to give up his career in the Australian National Rugby League to chase his NFL dream across the world. He will compete for a job as a running back and return man on special teams. Hayne already considers American cofFee to be rubbish and told wide receiver Jerome Simpson he would soon bring his own "real coffee" from Australia to share. Hayne has been training with the 49ers for a few weeks now, but is on the field with the coaching stafF this week for a voluntary minicamp. On Tuesday, he woke up at 6:30 a.m. and finally went to bed at 11:30 p.m. to dedicate himselfto footballand the hours of studying that come with it. "I' ll get comfortable one day and the next day it completely changes. Those are the things I've got to get used to,that's part of the journey," he said, with a dozen or so Australian journalists eagerly soaking up his every experience in the U.S. "Physically that's not a concern.

THINGS WE L AT RICHMOND
SPEED FREAKS 3 questions we had to ask —ourselves
AssociatedPress/STEVE RELBER
How long will the Kurt Busch honeymoonlast?
Tony was relatively happy at the start of Richmond's weekend. The "after" pictures weren't as nice.
GODSPEAK: Until his No. 41 Chevrolet goes sideways at Talladega this weekend. KEN'S CALL: He' ll glow for a while. But as we' ve learned by now, it' s always just a matter of time ...
Is Tony Stewart ticking?
A fourth of the way into the season,your biggest surprise?

GODSPEAK: Toyota

lagging behind Chevy and
ljeP~~" „'
Ford like a teenager out with his parents. Has anybody seen Carl Edwards? KEN'S CALL: That Tony Stewart has been so horrible. The hop in his step from February must've been due to a rock in his shoe.
Talladega this week. Does the BigOne come early or late? GODSPEAK: Early, late and in the middle. KEN'S CALL: The easy answer is both. But if forced to choose, I go late.

Yep, buckleup. At least NASCAR had the good sense to suspend the group-qualifying format for the rest of this year's plate races. Now, if it would find a way to lose the plates ...

Glint Bowyer goes low-tech to explain a racer's dive-bombing technique.

Glint Bowyer and Martin Truex Jr. were fighting for position at the end of the race, then had a tense-but-civil discussion on pit road. "We were racing hard there with
Keep an eye on the No. 1 Ganassi Racing Chevrolet of Jamie McMurray. It sprang to life and took McMurray to a fourth-place finish. McMurray is a solid restrictor-plate racer, and with this newfound confidence, he will be the sneaky favorite at Talladega. He just needs an assist from teammate Kyle Larson.
Brad Keselowski managed to nab a top-20 finish on seven cylinders. It's that kind of battling spirit that makes him so good at Talladega. Since 2009, Keselowski has
20 togo,and he comes from the outside and crosses over, and he kindof dive-bombed me," Bowyer said. "It really kind of scared me."
Yes, and it was in Victory Lane in Salem, Indiana, where one of stockcar racing's all-time favorites won the ARCA race Sunday. Kenny turns 60 in late May, but still travels the short-track circuits and runs some ARCA races. He still does this, we' re
guessing, because he's had a lifelong aversion to golf. "I'd rather take a beating," is how he often described that aversion.

If not Tony, it definitely appears his "evil twin" — we call him "Anthony" — is reaching the point where his kettle will soon start whistling. Two weeks ago it was mild-mannered Kasey Kahne who drew Anthony' s ire. This past weekend it was Junior Earnhardt, another tame type. And now it's Talladega week — yikes. These things can happen when you' re a three-time champ and currently behind Justin Allgaier and Brett Moffitt in the standings.
1. Super sub Michael Waltrip will abandon the Fox broadcast booth and grab the wheel of the No. 55 Waltrip Racing Toyota. His older brother, Darrell, will stay latched to his TV microphone.
DALE EARNHARDT JR
TONY STEWART
DALE EARNHARDTJR. VS. TONY STEWART: Earnhardt and Stewart clanged fenders in the closing laps Sunday at Richmond. It looked like a "racing deal," but Stewart stormed off angrily. GODWIN KELLY'STAKE: "If I know these two, they' ll work together at Talladega."
2. Junkyard dogs Any of the 43 drivers who start the race can win the 500-miler. The draft will keep the cars linked like a string of sausage. You never know who will pop out of the grinder with the win.

DID YOU KNOW? Bill France Sr. asked Richard Childress to compete in Talladega's first Sprint Cup race in 1969, even though Childress didn't drive a car that met the series' specs. Childress used his race winnings to buy a piece of land in Welcome, North Carolina, now home to his Richard Childress Racing shop.
