Jamestown School students are having a penny war to raise money for the Jamestown Family Resource Center, which is in danger of closing from lack of funding. "As of right now, we' re scheduled to close June 30," said Mark Dyken, the center's director. The center has been in existence since 2001 and serves 300 families a year, Dyken said. Students at Jamestown School are competing in a penny war against each other and with staff at the Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Office. The war began Monday and will continue through May 15. The community is invited to participate as well, and bring their pennies and silver change to either Jamestown School (school office open &om 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.) or the County Schools Office on Fairview Lane in Sonora (open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). People can designate to which class or grade level they'd like their donation to go. "It gives meaning to the phrase 'every penny counts,' " said Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Margie Bulkin. The object of a penny war is to get as many points as possible during the "war," explained eighth-grade

OUR VIEW

on ra ic ic e rues If you' ve ever gotten a traffic ticket in Tuolumne County, and thought about contesting it, you know it's pricey proposition. You get written up, assigned a court date, and are given a "bail" amount that the court will require you to pay upfront, even if you plan to contest the ticket (you get the money back in six to eight weeks if found not guilty, accordingtothe court websi te). This process is not unique to Tuolumne County's court, but it' s not entirely legal either,according to letters sent out last week to eight California county courts by a San Francisco attorney representing the American Civil Liberties Union. Attorney Marley Degner argues courts cannot require a "bail" payment before an arraignment — a step in the court process where charges are read and a plea typically entered. Tuolumne and the others, she argues, are misreading a sectionofthe state Vehicle Code that allows people to opt for paying "bail" if they request to have their arraignment and trial at the same hearing. The code says: 40519. (a) Any person who has received a written notice to appear for an infraction may, prior to the time at which

the person is required to appear, make a deposit and declare the intention to plead not guilty to the clerk o f the court named in the notice to appear.

The deposit shall be in the amount of bail established pursuant to Section 1269b of the Penal Code, together with any assessment requiredby Section 42006 of this code or

Section1464 of the Penal Code, for the offense charged, and shallbe used for thepurpose ofguaranteeing the appearance of the defendant at the time and place scheduled by the clerk for arraignment and for trial, and to apply toward the payment of any fine or assessment prescribed by the court in the event of conviction. Thecaseshall there-

upon be set for arraignment and trial on the same date, unless the defendant requests separate arraignment. A

deposit of bail under this section does not constitute entry of aplea or a court appearance. A plea of not guilty under this section must be made in court at the arraignment.

People who wish to be arraigned separately, then return for trial, shouldn't be required to pay as a condition of even setting foot in a courtroom, Degner says. The ability to combine the arraignment and hearing was intended by lawmakers to be a "convenience," she said.

It may seem a fine point. However, Degner argues requiring up front payment denies people due-process rights — particularly low-income people. That's because the up front cost can be prohibitive. For example: Running a stop sign can cost $367 when a bevy of feesforcourtconstruction, night courts,etc.are added to the $70 base fine (even calling it "bail" is a misnomer, Degner says. "It's not bail, it's punishment."). "Requiring people to pay up front in order to access the court system is unfair and unconstitutional. But it hap-

pens every day in traffic court, with devastating effects," Degner said. She and the ACLU point to studies showing the snowball effect on people who fall into debt and/or further legal difficulties as a result of substantial traffic fines. "In our

democracy, everyone has a right to be heard in court when their innocence is in question, even if that court is a traffic court. Tuolumne County is not alone in interpreting the vehicle code in its way. Letters like that sent to Tuolumne County Superior Court Presiding Judge Donald Segerstrom were also sent to courts in Del Norte, Fresno, Madera, Mariposa, Mendocino, Shasta and Tulare counties. That's not a comprehensive list, since the law firm examined the practices of only Northern California courts. Some places surveyed, she said, are doing it right, like Kern County. The letter requests Tuolumne County change its policy and clearly explain that combining arraignment and trial are a "convenience" nor a mandate.

It gives the counties until May 28 to respond. If ignored or rejected, a lawsuit would follow. Tuolumne County andseveral ofthe other named coun-

ties have asked the Judicial Council of California to look into the law and render an opinion, according to Segerstrom. If it comes down to choice, our fair-minded court should err on the side of due process and change the way it handles these pre-payment requirements.

GUEST COLUMN

Paul book a nice departure from politics The life of the wife of a presidential candidate can sometimes be like the government: Taxing. You wake up and blink through that first cup of coffee, trying to register that the Politico headline blaring "How Rand Paul blew it on Baltimore" is about your husband. Did Rand go to Baltimore? What did he blow? Paul th e c a ndidate apparently quipped on a radio show last Tuesday that he was glad his train didn't stop in Baltimore. We call that bad timing or,at worst, a poor choice ofwords. The same day of the headline, I happened to be meeting Kelley Paul for breakfast,ostensibly to discuss her new book, "True and Constant Friends," an exploration of her relationships with her mother, grandmother and a small group of her closest friends. Seated at a tiny table in a noisy restaurant, we ordered coffee and omelets — and quickly fell into the sort of intimate dialogue women can so easily have. We discussed children and husbands, drinking and diets, mothers and fathers, lovers (just kidding), Uber, hair, death — and, of course, the book. Our conversation lasted twoand-a-half hours. And, no, we didn't know each other all that well beforehand, though we had met one previous time for lunch. Most women will admit that they can meet other women ever so briefly, whether in the boardroom or the powder room, and move seamlessly from the day's events to manicures without much concern for the overrated segue. I'm not sure why this is, but it is. Women share a universal connection that transcends politics and time. Whatever the source — hormones, the shared power of human creation, or the

hidden bearings that evolved through millennia to aid women's survival — it does seem to be constant and true. The sources and ways of women' s

connectedness is what Kelley Paul wanted to explore in her book. Tender and sweet, itisa seriesofvignettesand anecdotesthat read almost like a diary.Interspersed are memorable quotes and artwork by women in a New Jersey homeless shelter. Paul bought the paintings for use in her book and then sold them at her book party. Proceeds went back to the shelter. The book also includes a forward by Rand Paul about the women in his life. "Ah, so he does like women," I said to Kelley wearily, bored with my own cynicism but feeling compelled to trot out the old nag, anyway. I was referring to recent speculation that Rand Paul doesn't like women because he had rebuked a female reporter with the same tone he uses with men. Silliness. Rand Paul's contribution is worthwhile, however, if only to learn about the remarkable women who helped shape him. Whether before marriage or an election, you can never know too much about the women in a man's life. You may quote me. Kelley Paul was appropriately concerned about exposing so much of herself during a political season. But revealing the concentric circles that connect her to the most important women in herlife produced an unexpectedretreat from the grind of politics — a thing and a place all her own. She says her most "i ncandescent"

moment in time."

She noted that often one's most important moments correspond to the smallest things — not grand canyons of life-altering transition but fresh settlements of spring flowers that cause one to remember the smell of rain. The little gifts of a radiant smile, the way Paul's grandmother beamed at Kelley's mother upon the family's return from two years in Turkey. Or the happy chatter of women in her mother Lillian's beauty salon in a converted utility room when Kelley came home from school. It was the sound of "hope, encouragement and validation — of women helping one another feel good about themselves," she writes. Many such stories fill th e book, touching on experiences that will feel familiar to many women. We may have lost the beauty parlor to the unisex salon, but the spirit of Lillian's parlor is still with us, whether this translates to women helping women feel beautiful or helping them run for public office. When your husband is daily immersed in the gritty world of politics, it is good to have a book of family and friends you can turn to. Kathleen Parker writes a syndicated

City of LA sues Wells Fargo, alleging fraud LOS ANGELES (AP) — Wells Fargo Bank employees driven by strict sales pressure issued unwanted credit cards and opened unauthorized accounts that charged customers fees and damaged their credit, according to a lawsuit filed by the city of Los Angeles. The civil complaint filed Monday contends the largest California-based bank violatedstate and federal laws by misusing confidential information and failing to notify customers when personal information was breached, City Attorney Mike Feuer said at a Tuesday news conference. "In its push for growth, Wells Fargo oftenelevated itsprofitsoverthelegal rights of its customers," Feuer said.

The bank has blamed the problems on a few rogue employees who have been disciplined or fired and said it would defend itself. "Wells Fargo's culture is focused on the best interests of its customers and creating a supportive, caring and ethical environment for our team members," the San Francisco-based bank said in a statement.

The city's investigation found only token efforts to prevent wrongdoing, according to court papers. The complaint was filed under a law that allows attorneys representing large California cities to seek relief for unfair business practices for customersstatewide. The lawsuit seeks a court order

ending the alleged practices along with penalties up to $2,500 for every violation and restitution for affected customers. Feuer said the number of possible violations would be determined during adiscovery process.Ifthesuitprevails in Los Angeles County Superior Court, it would apply to county residents and possibly some customers farther away, he said. Frank Ahn, who owns a convenience store and a coin-operated laundry in the San Fernando Valley, said he was repeatedly pressured over four years to open additionalaccounts at Wells Fargo. When he declined,the bank opened three savings accounts in his name anyway, Ahn said.

Farmers can use drones to spray crops FRESNO (AP) — A drone large enough to carry tanks of fertilizers and pesticides has won rare approval from federalauthorities to spray crops in the United States, officials said Tuesday. The drone, called the RMAX, is a remotely piloted helicopter that weighs 207 pounds (94 kilograms), said Steve Markofski, a spokesman for Y amaha Corp. U.S.A., which developed the aircraft.

Smaller drones weighing a few pounds had already been approved for limited use to take pictures that help farmers identify unhealthy crops. The RMAX is the first time a drone big enough to carry a payload has been approved, Markofski said.

The drone already has been used elsewhere, including by rice farmers in Japan. The FAA approved it for the U.S. on Friday. "I certainly understand their cautious approach," Markofski said. "It's a daunting taskgiven ourairspace is complicated." The drone isbest suited for precision spraying on

California's rolling vineyards and places that are hard to r each from t he ground or with larger, piloted planes, said Ken Giles, professorof biological and agricultural engineering at the University of California, Davis. Giles tested the drone in California to see if it could be used here. "A vehicle like this gives

you a way to get in and get out and get that treatment done," Giles said. Brian Wynne, president and CEO of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, said in a statement that the approval

highlights other potential uses. 'The FAA is taking an important step forward to helping more industries in the U.S. realize the benefits (drone) technology has to offer," he said.

GOP budget targets 'Obamacare' WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Tuesdayadopted a GOP budget that paves the way for an assault on President Barack Obama's health care law this summer and a partisan showdown over spending bills this fall. The Senate passed the nonbinding measure by a nearly party-line 51-48 vote. The House adopted it last week. The measure sets a potential path for a balanced budget within a decade. It promises to cut domestic agencies and safety net programs like Medicaid and food stamps, carve up transportation spending and student aid, and curb tax breaks for the poor. Republicans don't plan to adhere to most of its cuts in follow-up legislation, however. And in the near term the GOP plan promises a $38 billion, 7 percent increase for the Pentagon that is possible only by padding war accounts. Republicans and many economists say balancing the budget helps the economy in the long run and say it' s better to tackle the long-term financial problems ofprograms like Medicare and Medicaid sooner rather than later.

They also promise to relieve the burden of debt that's being passed on to future generations. The budget plan does not go to Obama, who has promised to veto follow-up spending bills that he says will shortchange domestic programs like student aid, highway construction and scientific research. White House spokesman Josh Earnest disparaged the budget plan for increasing money for defense but not for non-defense domestic programs. In the wake of racial tensions involving police and low-income communities, Earnest specifically argued the Republican plan would jeopardize programs that provide criminal justice assistance to state and localgovernments. "Republicans have started talking the talk about issues like inequality and criminal justice reform, but their budget shows they are not walking the walk," Earnest said. The measure pleases the GOP faithful by setting up a debate this summer that would permit Republicans to finally pass legislation to repeal Obama's health care law. That's because Senate

trying to reach Europe

Democrats would be unable to filibuster the repeal bill under fast-track budget rules, though Obama is certain to veto it. But Republicans have no plans to follow up the budget document's call for other spending cuts with binding legislation that would, for instance, curb Medicare payments to providers, tighten eligibility rules for food stamps, or dump poorand disabled people offthe traditional Medicaid program. Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky, both presidential contenders, were the only Republicans who voted against the blueprint. GOP Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, also seeking the White House, voted in its favor, as did Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a potential presidential candidate. All Democrats voted in opposition.

Tuolumne County Administrator Craig Pedro was awarded Tuesday with the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Posse's Top Hand Award. The award is given by the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Posse — organizers of the annual Roundup parade and rodeo — to people who help make theRoundup a success. Posse members Ron Stearns (above left) and Al O' Brien presented Pedro with the award at Tuesday morning's Board of Supervisors meeting. Pedro (right) displays the oversized belt buckle given to him by the posse.

PROGRAM

Whoever finds the treasure will not only save this weekend's Roundup, but will also receive a $200 prize from The Union Democrat. When found, the treasure should be brought to The Union Democrat, 84 S. Washington St., in downtown Sonora.

HealthLitNow will advocate "Public Health Literacy" — a term which the organization uses to encompass education that allows individuals to make informed decisions about their personal health and the health care system as a whole. The new nonprofit will operate through the Tuolumne County InnovationLab — a membership-based community space that offers businesses and individuals access to technology-based resources. HealthLitNow has about five activeprojectsin works,according to Hillman. Seniors at the University of California, Merced, are working with the nonprofit to develop a user-&iendly wrist &acture detector. The current

model makes the process uncomfortable for patients. It has also opened up the InnovationLab to give students access to it's 3-D printer and design sofbware while working on the project. Raised garden beds are being cultivated on the grounds of the InnovationLab, and HealthLitNow is planning to use the lab's kitchen to tie the production of food &om the garden to healthful cooking instruction.

"We feel quite grateful to have this pilot in Tuolumne County," said Hillman. "This is the first pilot the Nemours Foundation has conducted outside of Florida." Finally, HealthLitNow is using an$11,965 grant todevelop a series of career workshops for seventh- through ninthgraders. The workshops will explain the range ofpositions available in the healthcare profession. Hillman said the goal is to show young people to how they can remain in the area and contribute to the county's healthcare. "The apparent dichotomy in Tuolumne County is that we have a rapidly aging population, while at the same time there is a decline in younger people who don't stay because of lack of employment," said Hillman. The Office of S t atewide Health Planning and Development awarded the grant. Hillman s ai d T u olumne County Behavioral H ealth will match the grant, and he is expecting HealthLitNow to receive additional funding in the future.

However the city's transient occupancy tax — a tax on hotels and the like — were only at 62 percentofthe budget. Although the primary TOT season is summer, McHatten still mandated that city staff only approve expenses for health and safety, if they would impact the general fund, for the remainder of the fiscal year. Despite the lingering economic hardship of the recession, McHatten noted that this year's budget has just again reacheda levelmat ching 200809 levels. As for the finance department itself, it has been cleaned up since full-time Finance Director Julie McManus was hired two years ago. That's according to the first installment of the year's "State of the City" reportscovering the 2014 calendar year. McManus reported that numerous aspects of the city's financial operations, like tax returns and parking tickets, were lagging when she was hired.

It's all up-to-date now, she said. "I'm looking forward to not fixing the past anymore, but looking at ways to make things better in the future," she said. On that note, she said her department installed a backup computer system t hi s

which saved them from a computer virus a few weeks ago. T he council will t ak e a closer look at its budget in the coming summer months. The council will continue to hear "State of the City" reportsscattered throughout its next meetings, as time allows, according to McHatten. Next up is public safety, including police and fire.

Also at Tuesday's meeting, the council: • Ap proved its 2 0 14-19 Housing Element for its General Plan, outlining housing growth through 2019. • Approved an ordinance amendment giving business fee breaks to intermittent vendors, like at the farmers market. • Introduced an ordinance

The 2014 wine grape harvest was "third in a string of great vintages this decade," according to the Wine Institute. "California vintners and growers acrossthe state aregrateful for anotherexcellent vintage, despite an ongoing drought and earthquake that rocked south Napa in late August just as crush was getting underway," the institute said in a statement. "A mild winter and spring caused early bud break, although the overall length of the growing season was similar to past years." The 2014 crop was "really high quality," said wine grape grower Kevin Locke, of Locke Vineyards in Murphys. "The yields have been average, but the quality is above average." "Our yields were off by about 30 percent. But as a result, we got better quality (grapes)," said

Mast said. There's less foliage on the vines because growers are actively pruning back leaves this year. "We pruned and dropped fruit on the ground. We could see the vines were suffering" from a lack of water, Mast said. In 2014, grape quality was "great," said winemaker Chuck Hovey, of Hovey Wines in Murphys. Hovey also makes wine for other wineries in the area. Last year, "we anticipated it being a dry year, so we pruned back quite a bit so the vines weren' t carrying much fruit," Hovey explained. "Because there's less water in the grapes, the flavor is more concentrated."

In a world of complex financial products, immediate annuities are r efreshingly straightforward. You hand over a lump sum to an insurance company and you get a monthly check, usuallyforthe restofyourlife. The drawback? Once you' ve purchased an annuity, you can't get the money back, so you should never hand over all your savings. One strategy is to add up regular expenses, such as utilities and property taxes, subtract Social Security and other guaranteed sources of income,and buy an immediate annuity to fiH the gap. Choosing an immediate annuity isn't as simple as identifying the one with the highest monthly payout. Do you want a single life annuity, &om which payments will end at your death? Or a joint-and-survivor annuity, which guarmtees lifetime income for you and your spousebut alsocostsm ore? Another option is an annuity that guarantees payments toyou oryourheirsfora speciied period.For example,with f a single life with 10-year pe-

A nother f a ctor s o m e growers faced in 2014 was a shortageof labor to pick the grapes, Locke said. The different varieties of grapes ripened closelyto each other, and the harvest was compressed into three weeks, with picking occurring at 2 a.m. with headlamps, Locke said. "If they get over-ripe, they can shrivel up and turn into raisins, or they taste pruney," Locke explained.

Gladys Horiuchi. The drought is statewide, but as far as water supply goes, "it's strictly region by region," Horiuchi said. "The whole industry is engaged in conservation ... to preserveour limited nat-

ural resources," Horiuchi said. "Most of the industry is on drip irrigation. That' s always been a way to tar-

get water on the root zone." Although grape yields are down, more grapes have been planted in recent years, so the overall tonnage produced in California is still high, Horiuchi said. The 2015 statewide harvest may beless than last year, Horiuchi said. "Those vineyards that are planted more closely together and have been on irrigation their whole lives, there will be major stress on the plants if one expects to garner production in the 4 to5 ton-per-acre level," Martin said. "While it is still very early in the season, I'm cautiously optimistic that we should see a quality year, but lower tonnage." Wine-grape gro w ers across the region are making due, Hovey explained. For Hovey Wines, Chuck Hovey buys Murphys- area grapes that are grown on well-established vines. In 2014, there was "less yield and good quality," Hovey said. Established, older vines require less water t h an new grapes, growers say. If aperson were to plant wine grapes this year, they probably wouldn't make it, because there isn't enough

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.

ANSWER: Our bodies' immune systems aredesigned to protect us from outsideinvaders(bacteria,viruses,fungi, parasites) as well as internal errors (cancers), and they are very effective at doing so. Unfortunately, the germs and abnormal growths also are skilled at avoiding our immune systems, so there is a constant struggle going on. Giving your bodyproper nutrition and rest, and managing stress help your immune system perform at its best.

Credit card not a good teaching tool By JANET BODNAR

FamilyFinance

Kipli nger Personal Finance

Parents and children don' t see eye to eye when it comes to credit cards, though not necessarily in the way you might expect. In the 2015 Parents, Kids & Money survey from T. Rowe Price, 52 percent of parents said they thought their kids should have credit cards to learn about managing money. But only 21 percent of the kids, who were between 8 and 14 years old, said they felt knowledgeable about credit cards. I'm with the kids on this one. In my opinion, children shouldn't use credit cards to learn how to manage money. They should learn how to manage money firstand then graduate to a credit card. Even older teens strug-

gle with managing credit. In a 2015 study of Money Matters on Campus, which surveyed 42,000 first-year college students, students admittedthat they felt less prepared to manage money than any other aspect of college life. And "feeling prepared to manage money in college was not related to a student'sexperience with credit cards — it actually decreased as they got cards earlier in life," the report concluded. What really m ade apositive difference in both their financial knowledge and their behavior was experience with a checking account.

Sonora sophomore Joe Montelongo (12, above) slides safely into home plate Tuesday in the Wildcats 8-4 victory over the Summerville Bears in Tuolumne. Wildcat sophomore Bradley Canepa (3, below) charges down the third base line to score one of his three runs. Summerville's Sam Burns (bottom) scores a run.

Wildcats beat MLL champ S'ville By GUY DOSSI The Union Democrat

The rubber-match goes to Sonora, but bragging rights belong to Summerville. The Wildcats defeated the Mother Lode League champion Bears 8-4 Tuesday in Tuolumne to win the season series, but even in defeat, the Bears are satisfied with their regular season. "Our guys played hard and they deserved to be league champions," said Summerville head coach Larry Gold. "They did what they needed to do in order to secure that championship, and I'm proud of them. It' s tough when you play your crosstown rivals three times, because someone is going to win the series. Yeah, we didn't get that this year, but we do have that league championship banner hanging out there in center field." "Our goal was to come out and win the league," said Summerville junior Trey PetersonWood. oWe didn't get the wins we

over the league like they thought they were going to do." Sonora jumped on Summerville early, scoring one unearned run in the top of the first inning. Starting pitcher Danny Robles recorded five strikeouts in the first two innings of play. "He's a good pitcher," said Sonora senior Carter Denton. "He does a good job of keeping hitters off balance. He pitched well and fortunately we were able to figure him out later in the game."

Summerville senior Bryce Farrell led off the bottom of the second with a triple into the right-center field gap. Elias Hidalgo knocked in Farrell with a sacrifice fiy to right field to tie the game. The Bears would take the lead in the third. Kai Bannister led off with an infield single and quickly stole second base.

'Vile had a team meeting last night and the seniors did most of the talking. I don' t care if we are 1-13 and Summerville is 2-12, it's going to be a big game. These kids play against each other and know each other, so it is going to be a big game no matter what. We played better, but we certainly didn't play an errorfree game, or a mental error &ee game. We probably didn't play as well as we did earlier in the year. We had some base running miscues, and some other minor things.

But we played better today than we did last week." Sonora loaded the bases twice with no outs, and the Summerville pitchers were in the stretch all game. "It's a tough situation to be in," Gold said of pitching with the bases loaded. 'The first time we were there, we were able to escape without too much damage.The second time, you just know something bad will eventually happen, and it happened. We look back at the bottom of the fi fth and we had a chance to maybe blow the game wide open, but we couldn't produce as much as we wanted. That came back to haunt us. But you pickitup and move on." Sonora added two runs in the top of the seventh and Casteel held on to earn his 11th win of the season. Sonora finished second in the MLL, and will be on of the three league teams (Summerville and Linden) playing in postseason next week. "We knew that we could beat the good teams," Johnson said. "Our problem is maintaining focus. Summerville is a good team and we took 2 of 3 from them. We took 2 of 3 from Linden. The problem we had was beating the Amador and Argonaut's of the world, and team's that are not exactly upper-echelon this year. Summerville played well, and

the Mother Lode League will r epresent pretty well in t h e

playoffs." Sonora (12-5 MLL) has one game remaining, which is against Bret Harte today at Bev Barron Field at 6 p.m. The Bears (14-4 MLL) regular season is over and the wait is on to find out who they will play in the firstround of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V Championships. "This loss doesn't really affect us," Gold said. "Maybe it takes a little of our momentum away. We had won five games in a row and we were really hoping to win our final game of the regular season.

I know the guys are a little disappointed, but last night took alittle out ofus.It's not that they weren't going to be completely up for this game, but they won the championship last night and that was a pretty big deal. But they still came out and gave it everything that they had. We fell short, and our hats offto Sonora. Sonora played a good game and they were the better team today. Hey, the regular season is over. We have a banner hanging in our outfield that says we are the champions. Our next move it to be section champs. We have our eye on that target now."

BRIEFS Suit filed against Pacquiao for injury

Paaquiao injury just another hit for boxing

LAS VEGAS (AP)Manny Pacquiao and his handlers have been hit with a lawsuit asking for damages for anyone who paid to watch his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. because he failed to disclose his shoulder was injured. The suit was filed Tuesday in federal court in Las Vegas on behalf of two plaintifFs, identified as StaphaneVanel and Kami Rahbaran. It alleges that the two were defrauded after paying to watch the fight, and seeks class action status on behalf of anyone who bought tickets, pay-perview or bet on the fight. The suit comes as ¹ vada boxing regulators are looking into possible disciplinary action against Pacquiao for failing to disclose the injury suffered in training for the fight.

Lindsay Vonnnamed ambassador for Seoul SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean Olympic organizers have appointed U.S. skier Lindsey Vonn as an honorary ambassador for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang. Vonn is the first foreign individual selected for the role and she joins a list of high-profile South Korean sports stars including former Olympic fi gure skating champion Kim Yu-na and Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, Pyeongchang's organizing committee said Wednesday. Vonn, 30, an Olympic g old medalist and t h e all-time wins leader in women's World Cup Alpine skiing with 67, missed the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, nursing a knee injury.

US Ski Teamwill manage NASTAR SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The U.S. Ski Team says it will take over operational control of NASTAR, a recreationalracing program that's in place at more than 100 resorts around the nation. The agreement was announced Monday at the National Ski Areas Association convention. USSA President Tiger S h aw says that by bringing in NASTAR, the ski team is hoping to "not only engage a new generation of skiracers,but also to have significant impact by extending our brand to new fans." Through the NASTAR handicap system, which began in 1968, skiers can compare times against top skiers such as Olympic champions Ted Ligety and Julia Mancuso.

Kane scored on a power play in the first period, and Crawford and the Blackhawks made the superstar' s goalstand up for a 1-0 win over the Wild on Tuesday to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The people who paid $99.95 to watch at home had no clue. Neither did those spending $40,000ormore foraringside seat Saturday night in Las Vega s. And, surely, the bettor who w agered $500,000 at t h e MGM Grand sports book on Manny Pacquiao to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. wasn't in the loop. They all thought they were getting the Fight of the Century. Two fighters who, if not in their prime, were at least in peak condition for the fight of their lives. What they got instead was a one-armed Pacquiao chasing M ayweatheraround the ring for 12 rounds. The Filipino who normally is a punching machine landed only 18 right jabs and didn't even throw as many punches as the defensive-minded Mayweather. His shoulder had been injured in training. Injured so badly that Pacquiao will undergo surgery this week for a

TIIIl

Dahlberg rotator cufF tear. Yet the fight went on. No one outside the Pacquiao camp knew until two hours beforethefi ght,when hishandlers unsuccessfully sought permission from Nevada boxing officials for a shot of Toradol, an anti-inflammatory used totreatacutepain. Fighters are tough guys. They often enter the ring not 100 percent because in boxing it's an unwritten rule that the fight must go on. But this was different. This was the richest fight ever, a boxing match so big that the fighters were getting paydays thatrivaled the gross domestic product of some developing countries. This was a fight so hugely anticipated that it demanded the best of both fighters. "I wanted to be more ag-

gressivebut it was hard for me to fight (with one hand)," Pacquiao said. It's hard to blame Pacquiao, even ifhe lied a day before the fight when he checked the "no" box on a commission form asking him if he had a shoulder injury. He had the weight of an entire country on his shoulders, and he badly wanted to fight. The people around him, though, are another matter. They knew their fighter was damaged goods, but sent him into the ring anyway. The stakes were too high. The money was too big. The richest fight ever had to go on. "Athletes always fight hurt," promoter Bob Arum said the night of the fight. "We felt the work that was done on the shoulder during training would give him the opportunity to use the right hand. He deals with the injury and thinks he conquered it and it was reinjured again. Happens in football and every sport." Turns out there was a rea-

son trainer Freddie Roach closed sparring sessions a month before the fight. Nothing to see but a one-armed fighter getting ready to fight the best fighter ofhis generation. The problem for Pacquiao's camp wasn't in keeping Mayweather in the dark about the injury. That's fair game in boxing, where there's little advantage in letting an opponent know about any weakness. But no one told Nevada boxing officials, not even when specifically asked on the form filled out by Pacquiao just before the weigh-in. They were blindsided when, just before the fight, Pacquiao's handlers asked if it was OK for their fighter to get a shot to deaden the pain in his shoulder. By then it was too late. Allowing the shot without knowing exactly what the injury was would have put Mayweather at a disadvantage, at the very least. 'They had plenty of time to disclose it,"said Bob Bennett,

executivedirector of the ¹

vada Athletic Commission. The lack of disclosure will probably mean a fine,and possibly a s uspension for Pacquiao. He can afford both, with a payday that figures to exceed $100 million and a lengthy recovery time from shoulder surgery. Still, Nevada boxing regulators need to do something. They thought they had done everything possible to ensure a fair fight, but ended up being snookered instead. It won't get people back the money they paid, something a pairoffans are seeking in a federal court lawsuit filed Tuesday against Pacquiao and his handlers. But it might give them some confidence that the next time theyareasked todigdeep into their wallets they can do so with confidence that they are getting what they paid for.

GOLF

Players Championship should focus on what it is PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The criteria to be considered for the World Golf Hall of Fame smacks of yet another efFort by the PGA Tour to make The Players Championship something it's not.

Eligible players must have won 15 times on any of the six major tours around the world or win at least two of the following tournaments — The Masters, U.S. Open, The Open Championship, PGA Championship and The Players Championship. Five tournaments of equal standlilg.

Four of them are majors. "On first hearing that, it sounds wrong," Graeme McDowell said. 'Tm not ofFended by it. But there are four majors. And this is very, very good." The Players Championship tries to dress like a major, and for the most part, wears it well. Therearea few glaring differences, of course. It's tough to get past the Jacksonville Jaguars' mascot parading around the practice range (can anyone picture the Georgia Bulldogs' mascot on the range at Augusta National?), or that the TPC Sawgrass is not open to the public until Tuesday. Rory Mcllroy won't arrive until Wednesday. It's hard to imagine the world's No. 1 player not showing up at

St. Andrews until the day before the tournament. Too much is made about what The Players Championship is not instead of celebrating what it is. The Players Championship has the strongest and deepest field of the year on a golf course that wouldn't appear to discriminate any style of game. It has a back nine filled with risk and reward. And it has an island green on the par-3 17th hole that is either exciting or a ginmnck, but it makes you look. A better description of The Players is this: It's the biggest event run by the biggest tour in golf. The name needs an apostrophe. It's a championship that belongs to PGA Tour play-

It's the PGA Tour's premier event.It'sthe biggest tournament run by the best tour in the world."

He said American-born players would tend to place The Players ahead of the WGCs because it's their tour. The Players has a 25-year head start on the WGCs. And for some international players, the WGCs helped them get PGA Tour cards. The Players might be every bit as difFicult to win as the majors. The final hour rarely lacks for suspense or pressure.

The Players countered with a pressrelease thatits oak tree overhanging the sixth tee, removed in ¹ vember because of decay and disease, had been converted into a bench. And on it goes. Tiger Woods will meet the Hall of Fame criteria, just barely. He has 90 victories on the major tours and 16 of those special tournaments (14 are majors, along with The Players Championship twice). He wasn' t buying the idea of The Players being linked with the majors. Woods looked at the last two groups of Hall of Fame inductees to say that

Furyk's career: The new standard for the World Golf Hall of Fame would seem to be lower as golf becomes more fiush with talent. Jim Furyk went from being on the cusp oftheconversation to being doser to a certainty when he won at Klton Head. That gave him 17 career wins, plus a U.S. Open, and nine consecutive Ryder Cup teams. He thinks about it, not by choice. 'Tm kind of forced to because you all asked me about it," Furyk said. "I don't lay awake in bed thinking about what needsto happen or anything like that.

Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh reached 20 and more. Davis Love III got there with his last win at Disney. Furyk had gone four years until his 17th victory, a playofF win over Kevin Kisner.
