Ranchers have been grazing cattle in the Sierra Nevada since before the Forest Serviceand other federal agencies formed more than a century ago, and some of their descendants still do it today.

These days they have to get permits from the ForestService to graze certain areas, and theyhave to work with land managers and property owners on the numbers of cattle they can move each spring to higher elevations and greener pastures.

This week, local cattleman Tim Erickson, his son Dan Erickson, of Snelling, and several hands began driving about 300 cows and 300 calves from Pray Ranch near Merced Falls up to Kassabaum Meadow east of Groveland.

By Friday afternoon they'd made it to Uglow Ranch below Penon Blanco Lookout, west of Coulterville. They hope to reach Kassabaum sometime Monday.

"Our normal dates on the forest permits are the 15th of May," Erickson said Friday.

"But this year, because it's so dry down here, grass is short and there's pretty good moisture in the mountains, the Forest Ser-

The lunch menu will include seasoned meat, Spanish rice, black beans, green salad, fresh &uit, milk, virgin Margaritas, and chur-

Jeannie Hayward, food bank director for The Resource Connection in Calaveras County, which will receive all of the county's donations &om that day. "So it' s a wonderful opportunity for everyone to consider donating."

Notices will go out next week informing mail users of the food drive.

'The need in our communities for food has not diminished," Hayward said. "We need items like cold or hot cereal, canned tomato products, canned fruits, canned vegetables, peanut butter and jelly, tuna, pasta, brown rice and canned soup."

Donors are asked not to donate glass containers.

The May drive is great, because summ er can actually be a peak period offood need, Hayward said.

"Come summer, you have to realize that most children will not receive the free and reduced-price lunch from school.

So sometimes the demand during the summer time will be higher, because people are having to figure it out," she said.

In 2013, "Stamp Out Hunger" generated 2,690 pounds of food to Resource Connection, Calaveras' only food bank, with 14 locat ions spread acrossthe county.

The 23rdannual "Stamp Out Hunger" U.S. Postal Service food drive will take place May 9 across the Mother Lode.

The Postal Service claims the secondSaturday-in-May campaign is the nation'slargestsingle-day food drive.

Participating citizens are simply asked to leave non-perishable food items next to their mailboxes Saturday morning, May 9, beforetheir mail carrier arrives.

The food will be handled by the mail carriers and distributed to local food banks.

"I am very passionate about this food drive and feel the whole post office is, because it's the one day we can really help our community and give back," said Stacey Knight, city carrier for the Sonora post office, who has organized the drive for her office for six years.

The bulk of Sonora's donations will go to Interfaith Community Social Services.

Sonora residents typically donate about 4,000 pounds of food each year, she said.

"This is one food drive that I think everybody notices, because the Postal Service can send mail to everybody," said

The amount offood donated dipped to 2,337 pounds in 2014, and Hayward hopes to see it rise again with more word getting out about the drive.

According to the Postal Service, more than 72.5 million pounds were donated across the U.S. for last year's drive. This year, the service is trying for 80 million, with new advertisements on television.

The National Association of Letter Carriers — the letter carrier unionand the nonprofit Feeding America, who both support "Stamp Out Hunger" provided some facts about hunger in the U.S. • About 1 in 6 Americans are "food insecure," meaning they don'tknow where their next meal will come from and live at risk of hunger.

• About 1 in 5 children are living in a food insecure household.

• About 1 in 7 Americans live at or below the poverty level.

• About 1 in 7 Americans use SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits.

Resource Connection itself served just about 1 in 7 Calaveras County residents last year, and about 1 in 4 children in the county, Hayward said.

Bill would regulate use of law enforcement cameras

By ABBY DIVINE The Union Democrat

An assembly bill aimed at regulating the use of police-worn body cameras passed Thursday in the Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection.

These "on-officer recording systems" are small, pager-sized cameras that clip onto an officer's uniform and record their interactions with the public.

In Tuolumne County, the cameras are used only by members of the Sonora Police Depart-

"Where do we draw the line?" he said, if the public has the right to have the cameras turned off then the police should too. Giving peoplethe rightto notberecorded defeatsthe purpose of police body-worn cameras and will do a disservice to the judicial system, he said.

Calaveras County Sheriffs officials are searching for a suspect who on Wednesday allegedlyassaulted a 10-year-old boy and rode off on the boy's bicycle.

"Picking on a little kid is disgusting!" said Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz.'We are definitely going to keep a vigilant eye out for this suspect," Kuntz said.

The incidenthappened about 5 p.m. on the 6900 block of Stabulis Road, Rancho Calaveras, in Valley Springs.

The suspectwas described as a 6-foot-tall man of "big stature" with a goatee, mustache and wearing a black beanie with a hole in front. He was also wearing a turquoise-colored

Sonora Police Chief Mark Stinson holds one of the video cameras worn by Sonora Police officers.

The bill would also prohibit an officer involved in an incident, while wearing their body-worn camera, to view the footage until after they submitted their initial police report.

AB 66 was authored by Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, and was last amended on April 27.

Weber, at Thursday's hearing, said uniform legislation regarding police-worn body camera technology is "non-existent." ePeople travel frequently in California ... and they have no idea" what their rights are concerning law enforcement officials who are equipped with the body-worn cameras, Weber said.

She also cited a U.S. Department of Justice study that found about "one-third of police departments nationwide use body-worn cameras without 'any standard procedure.' "

Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz said he is "researching" the possibility of doing the same.

AB 66 seeks to require law enforcement agenciesto postitspolicies and procedures on body-worn cameras on their websites. It also requires police to tell people they encounter in the line of duty that they are wearing a camera.Victims of sexual or domestic crimes, or anyone who is at their private residence during police interaction, can request the police camerasbe turned off.

The suspect was last seen riding the bicycle toward Garner Place Road.

The boy told deputies he heard a noise coming from the bushes and saw the suspect run toward him. As the boy yelled for help, the suspect grabbed the bike and assaulted the boy, the release said.

The boy ran toward his friends, who were riding bicycles farther down the street, and then called 911, the release said.

The boy suffered no noticeable injuries, and the bicycle was found in the same area from where it was stolen, according to the release.

Anyone with information about the incident can call the Sheriffs Ofnce at 754-6500.

The Tuolumne Utilities District board earlier this week voted to implement mandatory water conservation measuresforallits14,000 customers.

The 30-percent cutbacks — measured against 2013's use — are a prudent step. Due to the ongoing drought and PG&E's grossly overestimated snowmelt predictions over the winter and spring, Pinecrest Reservoir will not, barring an act of God, fill this summer. Downstream Lyons, also a critical source of drinking water for TUD customers, is not much better off.

The county's water situation is dire and 30-percent, while higher than last year's 25 percent, is reasonable in a fourth year of drought. Everyone should do their part.

This stringent conservation brought up another conversation at Tuesday night's TUD board meeting. That is, the district supplying water to fill Twain Harte Lake this summer.

The 142acre-footlakewas drained early lastfallafter an abutment cracked at the dam, briefiy striking fears of a Hood downstream.This ended up beingunfounded,butle Twain Harte with some bad PR, a large mud puddle, and no tourist attraction at the end of the summer season.

Critics of filling it make an obvious argument: Why use the county's precious water for a private swinnning hole?

(It's open only to about 800 Twain Harte Lake Association members and their guests.)

Supporters say TUD should help fill the lake because it is important for Twain Harte tourism. They also, more recently, have argued itcould serve as a backup water supply and a ready source of water in the event of a fire. It is, they say, thus doing "double or triple duty."

The answer to this dilemma? Let's look at the merits of these arguments.

Twain Harte Lake is indeed a popular summer spot with associatio n members, theirguestsorvisitorswho happen to rent a member cabin.

But, fiankly, it's no Pinecrest. So if the question was which to keep filled, the latter would win hands down.

Saying Twain Harte Lake not filling would be a bust for the community is also selling Twain Hartians' resourcefulness short. There are plenty of reasons people visit the town — including its quaintness, its clean mountain air, nearby trails, tennis courts and golf course, the summer concerts at Eproson Park, and various festivals.

What about its use as a drinking water source?

For one, it's not designed for such, and, according to TUD officials, the water has too much fecal coliform bacteria in it to be used for consumption.

It's usefulness for fire?

This is a tricky one, since absolutely no one wants that blood on their hands.

Twain Harte has indeed been used in the past by Cal Fire helicopters, though not often. There are also other nearish sources of water, like Lyons Reservoir, Phoenix Lake, Brentwood Lake and various stock ponds.

However, most fire officials defer to Frank Podesta, who handles Cal Fire air operations out of the Columbia Air Attack Base. He says having water in Twain Harte could shave minutes off the time it would take to make bucket drops from the sky in the event of a fire in town.

Where does this leave us?

Maybe TUD needs to sit down very soon with Cal Fire and Twain Harte Lake representatives and determine if, or how much, water is needed from a firefighting perspective and how much of that the Twain Harte Lake Association itself can provide (say, via well pumping).

The difference, no more, and less, should be supplied TUD.

In Baltimore: A thug by any other name...

For most A m ericans, including President Barack Obama, the term "thug" seemed an appropriate appellationfor the rioters who destroyed businesses, homes and other property in Baltimore this week.

Now liberals are crying foul.

The Baltimore Sun has editorialized, "Having city leaders apply it to the high school students and others who rioted throughout Baltimore tells the offenders that they weren' t

just wrong in what they did, but that they're also worthless because of itsomething too many people already believe."

Baltimore's mayor, after initially using the term, apologized on Twitter: "That night we saw misguided young people who need to be held accountable, but who also need support.

And my comments then didn't convey that."

Linda Chavez some familiesforgenerations.

To try to understand the perpetrators'motivation or to excuse their ac-

tions is a great disservice to the victims of the violence.

Thank goodness the riot was shortlived. The credit goes in equal measure to Baltimore residents who took to the streets to say no to violence and the governor of Maryland, who ordered a state of emergency and sent in state police and the National Guard to restore order.

The fact is that the neighborhoods that suffered most in the riots need m ore police officers,notfewer, despite the chantsof some protesters.

thing went terribly wrong.

The Washington Post has reported that aprisoner being transported in the van with Gray claims Gray was thrashing about and hitting the sides of the vehicle, perhaps in an attempt to hurt himself.

But even if those reports turn out to be true, itdoes notnecessarily absolve the police department of culpability in his injuries.

Throwing a h a ndcuffed suspect in the back of a van unsecured is an invitation to injury. To excuse the behavior of individuals — even police officers — who treat a human being,

including a criminal suspect, like human garbage isn't much better than calling thugs "misguided."

We give policeofficers tremendous authority and deference in our society — but with that comes responsibility.

I don't underestimate the toll inflicted on police who have to deal day in and day out with violent, dangerous individuals. It's not a job most of us could do. But turning a blind eye when individual police officers use excessive force or are negligent in ensuring the safety of those in their charge encourages the bad actors.

Those of us who believe in law and order must hold all individuals who behave violently accountable for their actions — and that goes for kids hurling rocks and looting, as well as the men and women who arrest them.

ranking official for bothi the Reagan and G.H.W. Bush administrations.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Rage turned to relief in Baltimore Friday when the city' s top prosecutor charged six police officers with felonies ranging from assault to murder in the death of Freddie Gray.

State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby said Gray's arrest was illegal and unjustified, and that his neck was broken because he was handcuffed, shackled and placed head-first into a police van, where his pleas for medical attention were repeatedly ignored as he bounced around inside the small metal box.

The swiftness of her announcement, lessthan a day after receiving the police department's internal review and offi cial autopsy results, took the city by surprise. So too did her detailed description, based in part on her office's independent in-

The officers missed five opportu-

handcuffed, shackled by his feet and unrestrained inside of the BPD wagon," she concluded.

Her announcement triggered celebrations across the same West Baltimore streetsthat were smoldering just four days earlier, when Gray's funeral led to riots and looting.

But a lawyer hired by the police union insisted the officers did nothing wrong. Attorney Michael Davey said Friday that Mosby has committed "an egregious rush to judgment."

"We have grave concerns about the

fairness and integrity of the prosecution of our officers," Davey said.

Mosby rejected a police union request tostep aside and appoint a special prosecutor to h andle th e case,and said honorable police officers should have no problem working with prosecutors in Baltimore.

The police had no reason to stop or chase after Gray, Mosby said. They falsely accused him of having an illegal switchblade when in fact it was a legal pocketknife.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP)Federal prosecutors brought charges Friday a gainst three former allies of Gov. Chris Christie — but not Christie himself — in the George Washington Bridge traffic scandal, apparently easingthe legal threat that has hung over his 2016 White House ambitions for more than a year.

One of those charged, David Wildstein, a former high-ranking official at the transportation agency that operatesthebridge,pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors, saying he and the other defendants engineered huge traffic jams to get even with a local politician.

Christie was not implicated in court or in the indictments.

SURUC, Turkey — The battlefor the Syrian border town of Kobani was a watershed in the war against the Islamic State group — Syrian Kurdish forces fought the militants i n r u b blestrewn streets for months as U.S. aircraft pounded the extremists from the skies until ultimately expelling them from the town earlier this year.

currently available to us, we' re not going to charge anyone else in this scheme," U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said at a news conference.

The Republican governor claimed vindication.

"Today's charges make clear that what I've said from day one is true — I had no knowledge or involvement in the planning or execution of this act," Christie said in a statement.

While Christie may be out of any immediate legal danger, politically it could be more complicated. The furor has already damaged his standing in the polls, and the charges put the scandal back in the news just as th e p residential cycle is getting underway and candidates are jumping into the race.

The proposed jail would be part of a multi-agency law and justice center on Wards Ferry Road, which could also feature a new courthouse, juvenile detention facility

project.

Other savings could come from outsourcing kitchen and laundry services, instead ofbuilding the facilities on site.

The county proposes using leftover money in the General Fund as one way to help cover the county'sshare of the jail project's cost, meaning all other projects competing for the same dollars would have to be weighed by their importance over the jail.

Other sources of funding to pay down any debt accrued by the county to finance the project could come from leasing private, commercial space at the proposed law and justice center site, according to meeting documents.

A $22 million state grant was awarded toTuolumne County in 2013 for the construction of a new

Emerald, who was bow hunting in the Clavey River canyon, was rescued by a Cal

McClintock estimated the value of thewater released at $700 per acre-foot, amounting to a total of $21 million of water.

"We don't know exactly how much the bureau is spending for this purpose, because they don't account for how their purchased water is used,"

Precautions during yard care can prevent fires, injury

By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

Taking safety precautions when mowing your lawn or weed whacking can reduce the risk of fire and physical injury.

Some risks are inherent when using a push mower, riding mower, weed trimmer or blower, safety experts

and landscapers say.

Fire hazards Lawn mowers and weed trimmers can cause fires if the metal blades or heads hit rocks and create a spark, explained Mike Spear, a training captain for

Cal Fire/Tuolumne County Fire Department.

Cal Fire encourages people to mow lawns or trim weeds before 10 a.m., because the moisture in the grassand other vegetation decreases as temperatures increase, especially on hot spring or summer days.

"It depends on conditions. If we' re having a hot spell, it's not good to be weed eating or mowing," Spear said.

After grass is cut, the dry trimmings should be raked up and disposed. The pile of grass is a potential ire hazard ifnotcollected — it's a pile offuelfor a f fire, Spear explained.

Spear said mowing- and weed trimming-caused See SAFETY/Page B2

for the deficient soil. Each of the carnivorous plants has modified leaf structures to capture animals (insects, frogs, snakes and e v en small monkeys!) and break down their bodies to extract the desperately needed nitrogen and other elements.

New farmers' market coming to Columbia A new

o u tdoor f a rmers'

market is set to open next week in C olumbia State Historic Park.

The certified farmers' market, sponsored by the Columbia Chamber of C ommerce, will b e h e l d from 5to8 p.m. Thursday on Main Street in Columbia, and will be held every Thursday through October, rain or shine.

The new market is not to be confused with the year-round Mountain People Organics "Farmory" indoor market at the Columbia Airport ar-

mory building held every Wednesday and Saturday.

The market i s the brainchildof a group of chamber members who call themselves Nights of Columbia. "... This is the first new event we have started to

help achieve our goal of bringing some life back to Columbia after 5 p.m.," said Angela Matulich, market manager and one of the organizers of the Nights of Columbia.

"The community has really come together to get this done. Various in-

dividuals and groups have tried to start a market in Columbia for quite some time, and we finally got all the pieces put together," Matulich said.

"With the support of the state park management,the county and other community groups, we are very excited to see the market become a reality."

In additio n toorganicproduce,there market will offer hand-crafted items, food, antiques, activities for children, live music and docents in period costumes.

Park staff will keep park exhibits and the museum open during the market, said Gary Neubert, president

of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce.

Many Columbia merchants will also stay open late or have a booth in the market.

"We hope the community comes out to support this and that it continues for a long time," Neubert said.

vendor, contact Angela Matulich at 858-220-9352 or Heather Doyle at 499-8273,or email columbiafarmersmarketoyahoo.corn.

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 call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.corn

that she refuses to take responsibility for her behavior and blames you for her lack of control. She may be awesome when she's sober, but this type of drinking rarely gets better without effort. Would she seek help (and do the work) if you toldher it was make-or-break for the relationship? If she isn' t willing to talk to her doctor, attend AA meetings or find other support and/ortherapy groups forproblem drinkers, she isn't as wonderful as you think DEAR ANNK: Like "Brokenhearted Mom," I, too, kicked my son out of the house, although he was 17, not 21. I basically raised him alone since he was

3. We had a tumultuous relationship, he was into drugs and alcohol like his father, and I just couldn't take it anymore.

He stumbled through life, eventually moving to a city 90 miles away.

We maintained contact for a while, and then he dropped out of my life for a year.

He would not answer any of my texts or calls. The only thing that kept me sane was the thought that if something terrible happened, the police would notify me.

My son 6nally contacted me when he hit bottom from a gambling addiction (on top of else). He asked to come home for a bit to get back on track, and I let him. That was five years ago. He is now 26 and still not where I would like him to be, but he is working and self-sufBcient, and happier and more satisfied with his life. The best part is, we have a relationship again and oib.n tell each other "I love you"-

somethingIhad wondered whether he feltform e.

I just want to tell "Brokenhearted" to keep the contact via text, voicemails, whatever. Don't ever give up on your

son.Someday he willneed you and want you back in his life. —BLESSED MOM DEAR BLESSED: We are so glad things worked out between you and your son, and we appreciate your words of hope. Some addietions are too dif6cult to overcome, however,and parents must learn to accept that which they cannot change. We hope you know how fortunate you are.

Weak immune system comes with vaccine rules DEAR DR ROACH: My rheumatologist wants me to start Arava for my newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis.

I have refused to start this medicine because the information sheet states to avoid contact with people who have recentlyreceived the oral polio vaccine. My 6-month-old grandson will be receiving his polio vaccines at ages 9 months,12 months and 18 months, and I cannot avoid contact with him since my daughter depends on my baby-sitting him three days a week. I cannot Gnd any information on what exactly would happen if I were on this medicine and were exposed tothepolio vaccine. Of course, I received the vaccine many years ago, when it was first

given. Do you have any suggestions for other treatment options? — J.G.

' e ect' ir rien as ea- rea in aw DEAR ANNIE: I' ve been dating my girl&iend for four years, and she' s almost perfect. She has only one flaw: She rarely drinks, but when she does, she becomes verbally abusive and physically destructive. The following morning, I always get blamed for her beingso drunk and not stopping her, but every time I try to stop her, she just drinks more.

This happens roughly every other month. The rest of the time she's awesome, fun and supportive, and I love being around her. But when she drinks, she becomes another person.

I don't think she's an alcoholic, but I don't know what she is. Is there anything I can do? I love her. I just don' t know if I can stand any more heartache. Should I let her go? —BEWII DERED BOYFRlEND DEAR BEWILDERED: Probably.

within the past two weeks. The regular flu vaccine by injection is not live, and it is recommended for most people with weakened immune systems and their car egivers.

The measles, mumps and rubella vaccines are live vaccines, but there

has never been a reported case of any of thesediseases being transmitted from a vaccinated person to another person.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I a m a 68-year-old female in good health. Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with "nonsustained ventricular tachycardia." I was put on a 25-mg dose of metoprolol twice a day. Until now, none of my prevaccination, since we now use the IPV, vious cardiologists have said I could go — comes from live vaccines. The weakened form of the germ in a live vaccine can be shed by the vaccinated person for up to two weeks.

Oral polio vaccine is a live vaccine, but it hasn't been used in the U.S. since 2000, or in Canada since 1996. You do not need to be concerned about being exposed to your grandson after polio

ANSWER: Ventricular tachycardia (calletI "ventricular" because the electrical impulse comes from one of the ventricles, not from the atria, where it normally originates; and "tachycardia," for "fast heartbeat") is a potentially serious abnormal heart rhythm. It is called "non-sustained" when there are only short runs of ventricular beats, no longer than 30 seconds.

Treatment for NSVT is clearly indicated in people who have had a heart attack or those with an enlarged heart.

Treatment for a person with a structurally normal heart is more controversial, but beta blockers, like metoProlol,

In 1963, the Children' s Crusade began in Birmingham, Alabama, as more than 1,000 black schoolchildren skipped classes and marched downtown to protest racial segregation; hundreds were arrested.

In 1965, Intelsat 1, also known as the Early Bird satellite, was first used to transmit television pictures across the Atlantic.

In 1970, jockey Diane Crump became the first woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby; she finished in 15th place aboard Fathom.

(The winning horse was Dust Commander.)

In 1994, Nelson Mandela claimed victory in the wake of South Africa's first democratic elections; President F.W. de Klerk acknowledged defeat.

Panik lifts Giants past Angels, 3-2 SAN FRANClSCO (AP) — Pinch hitter Joe Panik singled in the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, lifting the San Francisco Giants past the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Friday night.

Angel Pagan had two hits and drove in a run for the Giants, who have won seven of 11 since ending an eight-game losing streak.

David Freese hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Erick Aybar with the tying run in the top of the eighth.

Aybar reached on a Matt Duffy fielding error.

Sometimes it's like the old saying,it's better to be lucky than good. Fortunately for the Summerville Bears boys' baseballteam, it was both lucky and good Friday against Calaveras.

Timely hitting, mixed with walks and dropped balls helped propel the B ears to their 13th Mother Lode League win by defeating the Redskins 13-1 in Tuolumne.

'The outfield didn't play very well today and missed some balls that we should

have caught," said Calaveras head coach Tom DeLappe. "our pitching is not strong enough to where we can pitch out of mistakes. You need to get the outs when you can and we didn't do that today. We let threeorfourQy ballsdrop.W e just don't have the sta6' that can pitch through that stuff this year."

With the win, the Bears clinchedatleasta shareofthe M other Lode League title for Summerville after Sonora lost 5A at Argonaut.

The Redskins beat Argonaut 1-0 Thursday and the Bears fell 2-0 to Linden making the teams tied in points for second place. Calaveras owned the t iebreaker by beating Summerville once and tying once in the two head-to-head clashes and earned the No. 2 seed out of the MotherLode League, but were also placed in division IV with the Bears in division V due to enrollment differences.

"As always, it was a wild ride in the MLL, lots of ups and downs," said Redskins head coach Rob Leetham.

PaCquiao, Mayweather, will it live uP to hyPe?

By TIM DAHLBERG The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Five years in the making, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao meet Saturday night in the richest — and arguably most overhyped — fight in the history of the sport.

Their styles have been analyzed endlessly and their minds dissected as much as possible. And it still remains anyone's guess just what kind of fight this will be.

Will Pacquiao score early and often to beat a fighter who has never been beaten?

Will Mayweather risk standing and trading punches, or be content to use his defensive wizardry to win for the 48th straight time?

Will boxing get the fight the hype deserves, and the sport desperately needs?

The fight is for the welterweight championship of the world, but in reality it' s much more. Mayweather will be risking his legacy against arguably the best opponent of his career, while Pacquiao will carry the weight of an entire nation into the ring at the MGM Grand arena.

"Everyone talks about the money,the money, the money,"

Mayweather said. "I want the fight to live up to its magnitude. That's what it's really about."

and third with one out. Senior Bryce Farrell followed with a smash over the left fielder's head, which resulted in an RBI double.

"The first pitch was an out side curve ball which was a greatpitch for strike one,"said Farrell. "I knew that after he got that pitch in there that he was going to come low and inside, or high and inside with a fastball. I knew I would have to turn on it quickly, and it turned out to be a low and inside fastball. I timed it perfectly and was able to send it over the left fieldei's head."

Farrell has been coming through with clutch hits all season for Summerville and his.369 batting average issecond best on the team.

"Bryce is a phenomenal athlete to begin with," said catcher Darren Warnock "Whenever you needhim tomake a play, he's there. He's a great hitter and you can always count on him to send it to the fence."

Warnock knocked in the second run of the inning on a fielder's choice to shortstop, and Summervillehad a 2-0 lead after one inning.

Summerville (7-9 M LL) will finish its season Tuesday at home against Sonora. Regardless of how the next two games transpire, therewillbe nothing more exciting than

Calaveras got its run in the top of the fifth inning as Casey smacked a solo home run over the left field fence.

'That was a great hit," DeLappe said. 'He's a good fastball hitter and early in the count they put the ball where he could get around on it. He' s a freshman, so we are hopeful that he will continue to improve."

Calaveras tried to put a rally together following the big fiy, as Jason Stokkeland doubled to left, and Trace Durham singled to right. But pitcher Sam Burns wasable to stop the'Skins, and helped preserve the 13-1 win.

Copulos led Calaveras with the bat, going 2 for 2 with a home run, and Kennedy went 2 for 2 with two singles. Warnock had three RBI's and Farrell and Tyler each had two runs batted in. Burns and PetersonWood each scored twice.

Calaveras (6-10 MLL) will finish its season next week against Argonaut on Monday and will travel on Wednesday to Linden.

Summerville (13-3 MLL) extended its MLL lead to two games with Sonora (11-5 MLL) losing 5A at Argonaut.

With two games to play, the Bears will face the two teams below them in the standings to finish the season. Summerville will travel Monday to Linden (10-6 MLL) and have a chance to dinch the league crown outright.

Back home, waiting for what theSamford defender ~d to b e a call in the third or fourth round of the draft, the phone rang on Friday night and 49ers coach Jim Tomsula was on the other end with news that he would be headed to San Francisco — and reunited with Ward despite the odds they had known were oh so slim.

Tartt was selectedat 46th overall in the scend round — the highest pick everfora player from his university — before San Francisco chose Virginia linebacker Eli Harold at 79th in the third round.

San Francisco looked to add a l inebacker in the draft following the surprising retirements of five-time All Pro linebacker Patrick Willis and then Chris Borland shortly thereafterthis offseason because of Borland's concerns about head trauma.

Raiders take DE Edwards in 2ndround ALAMEDA (AP) Three years after entering collegeas one of the top players in the country, Mario Edwards Jr. came into the NFL with a little less fanfare.

The Oakland Raiders selectedthe former Florida State defensive lineman with their second-round pick in the NFL draft on Friday with hopes the former five-star recruit can get back to that form by keeping his weight down as a professional.

Edwards' weight in college got up to 310 pounds but he is down to about 277 right now. The Raiders want his weight between 280 and 285 pounds as they plan to use him as a weakside defensive end, as well as inside at defensive tackle.

The Raiders then drafted Miami tight end Clive Walford in the third round, quarterback Derek Carr another pass-catching option after the team took Alabama receiver Amari Cooper in the first round.

Even at the high weight, Edwards was an elite athlete that Sunseri compared to Julius Peppers.

He could do a standing backflip and could quickly change directions to navigate bag drills, ending with an athletic hurdle.

The move turned out to be

one ofthe best decisions the first year coach has made.

Barnes has been more com-

fortable playing ofFthe starters insteadofbeing asked to carry the reserves. Iguodala balanced the lineup and bridged the gap to the starters. And, perhaps most i mportantly, Iguodala'sacceptance fueled the team-first mentality Kerr wanted to instill in the locker room and on the court.

"One of the most gratifying partsofthe season is the unselfishness our team has shown," Kerr said.

Iguodala still plays heavy minutes and usually finishes games with the starters. Power forward David Lee, though, has had his role reduced more

than anybody.

Lee, a two-time All-Star, sat out early in the season with a strained left hamstring and lost his starting spot to Draymond Green. He never complained as the Warriors rolled toward a franchise-record 67 wins, and he's not complaining now as he returns from a sore back that sidelined him in the first round.

sAfter a guy like Andre's done the exact same thing this year, it'dbeverydii cultform e to step in and do anything different," Lee said.

The Warriors also signed Shaun Livingston and Lean-

four-year, near-maximum ex-

tension of $70 million. Thompson made the All-Star team for the first time and has blossomed intoone oftheleague's best two-way guards.

Myers said he got a call from Timberwolves coach and executive Flip Saunders after winning the award. Myers called Saunders back, but he didn' t answer.

Myers has maintained all along that he wanted to see what this group of players could do before making such a major change.

"Clearly, they' ve proven our front office right more than we did anything," he said.

Myers also engineerel the trade-deadline deal in March 2012 that netted center An-

his unblemished record than he has pleasing the fans who pay to watch him fight.

But he has dearly bulked up for this fight, returning to some old ways by chopping up tree trunks to gain muscle.

He's going to be the bigger fighter in the ring, and he's going to have a chance to impose his will on Pacquiao if needed.

"Floyd Mayweather is going to try and take Manny Pacquiao's head off," said Mayweather's promoter, Leonard Ellerbe. "You can count on that happening. He' ll do it in a manner where he follows a game plan,but Floyd Mayweather is looking to finish him off and I strongly believe that will happen."

Oddsmakers don't believe,

Granted, one of those defeats was a joke of a decision in favor of Timothy Bradley. But the other was a brutal KO at thehands of Juan Manuel Marquez, who delivered a right that leR Pac Man sprawled face-first on the canvas, out cold. In fact, Pacquiao has gone more than five years without knocking anyone out, taking his last seven wins by decision.

The Vegas odds makers fully expectthisbouttogoto the scorecards.

R.J. Bell, a betting analyst who runs the Pregame.corn website, set the over-under in the 12-round bout at 11.5 — in other words, will it last beyond the midway point of the final round. Bell reported Friday that bets were running nearly 3-to-1 in favor of the fighters making it to the final 90 seconds, with the odds of Mayweather scoring a knockout at a staggering 8-1. Pacquiao was the clear underdog in the fight but was given a slightly better chance of ending it early, his odds of scoring a knockout set at 5-1.

Chances are, these guys will dance

$99.95.

Still not convinced?

Well, if you decide to play along with this charade, here's what you can expect when it's over: The fighters will come together for a hug, finally say some nice things about each other, then try to persuade us that it really was a great fight, maybe even one worthy of a rematch.

One last PR push before everyone heads to the bank to cash their obscene paychecks.

Then we can finish off the burial of a sport that gave us Johnson and Louis, Ali and Frazier, Leonard and Hagler.

Not epic at all.

Just a sad ending.

making it a 3-1 favorite that the fight will go at least until late in the 12th round. The argument can be made that Mayweather hasn't l egitimately knocked out an opponent since he stopped Ricky Hatton in 2007, and feels no pressure to do so with Pacquiao despite a payday that will likely be at least $180 million.

"I truly believe I'm the smarter fighter," Mayweather said."He would be a better fighter if he wasn't so reckless.

But I think he will come out and try to fight us."

If that happens, it might be because the fight took so long to make. Neither fighter has the same speed or relexes they had fi f veyearsago, which some believe may play into Pacquiao's hands because Mayweather doesn't have the legsat the age of38 to move around the ring for 12 rounds.

Assuming that proves true, there won't be many people complaining about paying $10,000for ringside seats or the priceofa pay-per-view at home.

"I think for pure boxing people it's going to be a fantastic, amazing boxing match," former heavyweight champion George Foreman said. "I think it's one that will live up to all the hype. It really will."

The fighters themselves tend to agree.

"I' ve never wanted to win a fight this bad in my life," Mayweather said.

"I know I'm going to win the fight in the ring," Pacquiao tolda crowd ofsupportersthis week. "So relax."
