Court to dismiss that case." — U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner

Many people were understandably upset by the U.S. Attorney's Office announcement last week that it would drop charges against the man accused of starting 2013's devastating Rim Fire. It seems no one, barring another suspect coming forward,

willbe prosecuted for causing the catastrophic 257,000-acre blaze — the worst wildfire the Sierra Nevada has seen in recorded history. Attorney Benjamin Wagner said the case against Keith Emerald could not go forward following the deaths of two key witnesses. It may be true the case cannot go forward, but blaming these unfortunate deaths was a textbook red herring. The real reason is that the most-crucial evidence produced by investigators was so tainted as to be unusable. The deceased witnesses included a friend of Emerald's who talked to him in the days following the fire, and also a Cal Fire helicopter pilot who helped rescue Emerald from the deep, isolated Clavey River canyon the day the fire started. Emerald's friend, Tanden Olsen, a heavy-equipment operator, died in February in an industrial accident in Amador County. He could have testified that he drove Emerald the day after the fire started to the Jawbone Ridge area of the Stanislaus National Forest to retrieve his pickup truck, which he'd left when he ventured out on a bow hunting trip that week. He also could have said Emerald at some point allegedly admitted he'd accidentally started the fire when cooking some food.This was stated in a search warrant affidavitreleased to the public when Emerald was indicted by a grand jury in August. But Olsen as a witness had obvious credibility problems considering, among other things, his statements to investigators

2013's Rim Fire was the third largest fire in California history. It consumed more than 400 square-miles of land, 112 structures — including 11 residences and three commercial buildings — and killed untold numbers of animals. seemed to change, particularly in relation to photos of the fire he claimed Emerald had sent him, which he later denied. The second supposedly critical witness was Jerry Bonner, a helicopter pilot stationed out of the Cal Fire Helitack base in Los Gatos, who died of a heart attack in March at the age of 72. If he'd lived, he'd have been able to tell jurors where exactly Emerald was rescued in the river canyon, how he looked and actedthat day,and maybe have described some of Emerald's statements about the fire's cause. This is per the warrant. Considering at least two other Cal Fire Helitack crew members were on the helicopter who could have provided similar testimony, it's hard to believe Bonner was critical in this regard. No, the most crucial pieces of evidence lacking were those generated by the investigators themselves — including some recordingsofinterviews and an alleged signed "confession" that was so questionable it wouldn't have held up in any kangaroo

ings show Emerald was grilled by Forest Service special agents without the benefit of having an attorney present, was told he would be more-vigorously prosecuted and fined if he didn' t change the story he'd given to investigators about a rockslide causing the fire, and, then, was seemingly spoon fed an explanation for how he could have started the fire — a scenario later mirrored in the "confession" he signed. One can infer it was no coincidence the case against Emerald wasdropped days before a planned court hearing where defenseattorneys were scheduled to ask a judge to toss this supposed confession on grounds it was coerced and Emerald's constitutional rights were violated. So the public can rightly be outraged there will likely be no "justice served" in the case of the Rim Fire — barring another suspect surfacing.

Would automatic registration increase California voter turnout? No sooner had Oregon's Democratic Gov. Kate Brown signed a new law automatically making a registered voter of every person who appliesfor or renews a drivers license in her state than California's top elections official jumped on the idea. Alex Padilla, the MIT engineering graduate who once was the Los Angeles city council's youngest president ever, was up-front about copying Oregon. "While many states are making it more difficult for citizens to vote, our neighbor to the north offers a better path," Padilla, the California secretary of state,said in a press release days after the Oregon law was signed. "I believe the Oregon model makes sense for California." The Oregon law is a significant new twist on the federal "Motor Voter" law in use since 1993.The national law requires allstates to offer voter registration opportunities at all Department of Motor Vehicles offices, plus every welfare office and those that deal with the disabled. But the law is not usually enforced. Example: Most California DMV offices may offer voterregistration on request, but they don't normally inform everyone they serve of this, nor arevoterregistration materialsincluded

But the agency will take only birth certificates, passports, drivers licenses from other states and similar official docum ents asitsrequired proof of identity. So unless an applicant obtains a highly credible forgery, the DMV will be able to screen noncitizensout ofvoterregistration. Another problem is that some eligible voters never register because they don't want their addresses, birth dates or party affiliations made available to the public. Others don't want to be called for jury duty, for which voterregistration records are used. That's a tougher problem, yet could be resolved by changing some rules about disclosure of personal information on registered voters But the bottom line will likely be that this bill, or a modified version, will pass because something has to be done to increase voter turnouts. If this can't do that, it's hard to see what might.

Gas companies to pay $11.5 million

OAKLAND — A California judge has ordered two gasoline companies to pay $11.5 million to settle accusations they failed to properly maintain underground storage tanks, threatening nearby water supplies. An Alameda Countyjudge on Thursday approved the settlement with Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips. Prosecutors say the Houston-based companies failed to comply with hazardous materials and hazardous waste laws at more than 560 gasoline stations owned or operated by them in the state of California. Attorney General Kamala D. Harris says the companies failed to adequately monitor hazardous materials, which endangered nearby water supplies. The civil enforcement prosecution was joined by the California Attorney General' s Office, and district attorneys in El Dorado, Placer, Merced, Nevada, Stanislaus and San Bernardino counties.

Landmark pension law overturned SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Illinois Supreme Court forced the state Friday to find another way to fix the

nation's worst government-employee pension crisis, ruling lawmakers "overstepped" by enacting a law that slashed retirement benefits t o con-

front a massive budget deficit. In a unanimous decision that frequently scolded state policymakers, the seven justices declared that the measure former Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law 18 months ago violates the state constitution be-

cause it would leave pension promises "diminished or impaired." The cash-strapped state now must again grapple with a $111 billion deficit in what's necessary to cover its

employee retirement obligations. The hole is so deep the state has in recent years hadto reserve up to $7 billion — or one-fifth of its annual operating

funds — to keep pace. The plan rejected by the justices was designed to whittle down the monstrousshortfall over 30 years,gradually but significantly slicing back pension benefitsby erasing a 3 percent annual adjustment. Lawmakers who spent years working toward a consensus acknowledged the ruling creates a major dilemma fornew Republican Gov.Bruce Rauner and Democrats who control the General Assembly. "I'm not sure that any of the proposals that were considered would have passed" a court test, said Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a Northbrook Democrat who was a lead negotiator on the pension plan. "This problem will now be with us for two generations. And that makes me sad." Most states faced the same public employee pension crisis, exacer-

for counterfeiters, who use them to processcredit card payments or move their money around the globe, The Associated Press has found. A review of hundreds of pages of court documents — along with interviews with lawyers, investigators, government officials and industry groups — shows that a lack of legal cooperationbetween the West and China is allowing counterfeiters to use Chinese banks as financial shelters. Five lawsuits filed in the United States against counterfeit ers reveal a pattern: Counterfeiters sold fakes online in the U.S., using credit cards or PayPal. Then, records show, they transferred m illions to accounts attwo of China's largest, state-owned banks — the Bank of China and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China — as well as China Merchants Bank. The banks do not dispute that the accused counterfeiters heldaccounts,but refuse to comply with U.S. court orderstofreezefunds ordisclose information about accounts in China, saying that would violate bank secrecy laws.

FDA unaware of listeria in plant WASHINGTON — Federal health officials said Friday that they were never told of repeated findings of listeria at a Blue Bell Creameries facilit y before an outbreak linked to the ice cream turned deadly. Results of a Food and Drug Administration investigation released this week showed the company had found 17 positive samples of listeria on surfaces and floors in its Oklahoma plant dating back to 2013. The FDA said Friday that it "was not aware of these findings" before doing its own inspection this year in response to the outbreak.

The outbreak — and the FDA's lack of knowledge of t he bacteria found in t h e plant — is a stark illustration of gaps in the nation's food safety system. Food contamination often isn't discovered until people get sick or die. In the outbreak linked to Blue Bell, three people died in a Kansas hospital and seven

Stafford graduated from Bret Harte High School and began working for Pacific Telephone and Telegraph in Sonora. There, she met her future husband, Joe Stafford. The two married in 1957 in Sonora. They lived in Modesto, but moved back to Sonora in 1962. The couple had one daughter, Cheryl Lynn McLane.

Friday's garlic harvestwillbe available atthe Sonora Farmers Market in about two weeks. Clough has been out to the farm five times sinceitbegan operatingtwo years ago. She said the hands-on experience is her favorite part of the work and has high hopes for the future of the ranch. "It's great teachers that keep this thing running," she said. Foothill Collaborative for Sustainability assisted with the potato planting and brought a tractor to plow rows. Sonora High seniorZerek Saldivar followed behind watching the potato roots drop from a bucket on the back of the tractor. Saldivar is a member of the gardening club and culinary class and said it is important for him to bring healthy food onto campus.

tribute some money toward a $100,000 fund UMRWA is creating to help pay for such a study. The study would be required under Assembly Bill 142, legislation drafted this year by Assemblyman Frank Bigelow, R-O'Neals, and Sen. Tom Berryhill, R-Twain Harte. AB 142 mandates a study on future watersupply impacts be done before the upper Mokelumne could be given Wild and Scenic protection. The bill's introduction early this year was

The center, which has eight employees, operateswith income generated by theservices itprovides,according to Publi cWo rks Director Jeff Crovitz. Ongoing maintenance on an aging fleet of trucks and the need for updated tools have posed challenges for the shop, and the shop's management would like a larger facility, according to Crovitz. Also on Tuesday, the board will vote to approvea $117,000 fi x to the fi nalcover of a portion of the Red Hill Landfill. The landfill was damaged by fire, which resulted in a violation being issued by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. A portion of the landfill — cell A — was closed following a 1996 closure plan. On Aug. 3, 2010, a small fire damaged drainage pipes and burned a portion of the vegetative layer over the closed portion, ac-

The Board of Supervisors in March narrowly passed a resolution in support of the bill after hearing dozens of public comments, about two-thirds of which were in support. The bill is not without controversy, as some arguethat itwa s introduced just to stallor block the designation, not to fact-find. But the UMRWA is looking to pledge $100,000 to the study &om its member agencies so state lawmakers will know the money is there if the bill passes. The county government is asked for no more than $6,000. The board on Tuesday will also have a study session on its equipment service center,

and disbursed it to local schools and other public entities in the county. "We used that money for matching grants and other local housing programs," Kellogg said. "It was a shame when that was taken away, but we hadto move on and make things happen in other ways."

agency used to set aside 20 percent ofthe taxes it received for low-income housing programs. About $700,000 was in the city' s low-income housing fund at the time of the 2011 legislation, which stripped the money from the city

complex using a grant through a federal housing program for mentally ill and homeless individuals. Pfeiffer said he's interested in working with local organizations on a similar type of arrangement when he rebuilds the complex.

Also at Monday's meeting, the commission is scheduled to consider approving some minor revisions to Sonora Regional Medical Center's plans for building a cancer center and outpatient pavilion at the site of the former Andy's Hardware store on the 900 block of Mono Way. According to the request, the hospital wants t o r e duce the height of the originally proposed building from 53 to 50 feet. It also wants to reduce the overall size of the structure by about 500 squarefeet, and increase the amount of parking by two spaces. The commission previously reviewed and approvedthe project in October 2013.

W omen's society seeks volunteers for annual town cleaning

I I

By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

The Tuolumne Women's Improvement Society will host its ninth annual clean-up day in Tuolumne on May 16. Volunteers will meet at Summerville Elementary School at 8 a.m., and the clean up will go to about 2 p.m. The cleanup this year will be concentratedto roadside cleanup, said President Shannon Brown. This is because of a dwindling number of volunteers, she said. "We are so grateful for the Tuolumne City volunteer firefighters who helped us last year with weed eating and will again be helping us with the weeds (this year)," Brown said.

The largest group of volunteers was in 2008, with 25 volunteers. There were only 13 in 2014, not including the firefighters. The TWIST annual clean-up is held each May. People who are interested in volunteering can call 352-6842 or e-mail emailtwist@yahoo.corn. Volunteers should RSVP so TWIST membersbring enough reflectivevests for people to wear. Past clean-up days have been in the Tuolumne township area and have gone as far as Ponderosa Hills and along Cherokee Road. "It always depends on how many volunteers we have," said member Celia Webster. TWIST members and volunteers will hand out flyers with information on the hazardous-waste collection day happening the same

Volunteer Clay Peterson, of Tuolumne (above), assisted The Women's Improvement Society of Tuolumne during a previous year' s clean-up by loading an edger onto a truck for a trip to the dump. Last year's clean-up crew (top) included firefighters from the Tuolumne City Fire Department. day (See brief, this page). The first TWIST community clean up was held in 2007. It was startedbecause club members wanted to help neighbors remove discarded items like stoves, couches or chairs who couldn't do it themselves, Brown said. "As each year passed, we were able to remove more than 10 tons of debris, and we were also able to

organize our clean up by asking our neighborsto separate their debris according to type such as metal, e-waste, tires, etc., making our collection faster and helping us to recoup some of the cost by utilizing recycling companies for the metal items," Brown said. For the past three years, SumSee TWIST/Page B6

Soaps have been used to control insects and combat pests for hundreds of years, but their effectiveness as pesticides has been scientifically established only recently. Recently, there has been increased interest in, and use of, these products. This change is due to a better understanding ofhow tousesoaps most effectively and a desire to try insectici des that are easier and safer to use than many currently available alternatives. How soaps and detergents kill insects is still poorly understood. Researchers have been studying how soaps work in combating pests. Some soaps simply wash off' the outer waxy coating of the insect's cuticle, destroying its watertight quality and causing the insect to dry up and die. Other soaps have additional insecticidal properties that may affect the nervous system. These soaps appear to have toxic effects only against plant-eating insects and, thus, may spare beneficial insects such as ladybird beetles (ladybugs), lacewings and predatorymites. In addition, high pressure sprays may wash some insectsofFthe plant,and other insects may be immobilized in soapy water, making them easierto rinseofftheplants. Soaps will kill many insect pests including aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies, spittlebugs, rose slugs and so@ scale on most houseplants, ornamentalsand fruit trees. But becausesoaps have little or noresidual action, sprays should be applied at regular intervals until the population is controlled or eliminated. Soaps act strictly as contact insecticides, with no residual efFect. To be efFective,sprays must be applied directly to, and thoroughly cover, the insect.

Several insecticidal soaps are available over the counterforcontrol ofinsects and mites. Available under a variSee SPRAYS / Page B6

Sister's denial of hoarding likely depression DEAR ANNIE: I have seen my sister gradually change &om a simple packrat into a full-on hoarder. When I mention my concerns to her, she gets defensive and tells me it's OK, that is just how they live now. I am especially worried about her children growing up in such clutter and filth. Yo further complicate issues, my sister recently acquired a puppy and allows him to do his business all over the house. Ifeelsorry forher.She suffersfrom depression and is on medication, but it's not enough. What can I do to help her when she seems to be in denial? — WORRIED SIS DEAR WORRIED: Your sister' s metheation may not be handling her issues sufficiently, and you could 6rst suggest she talk to her doctor. Is a husband or thefather of these children around? Could you taIk to him about this? Would your sister be amenable to an of-

Annie's Mailbox fer to clean her house — either by you, a group of friends or a professionalservice? Is the house so dangerous that you would report her to the local board of health and have the childrenremoved from the home? Are there other relatives who can i n tercede? Cheek to see whether there is a Hoarding Task Force in your city, and also contact the International OCD Foundation (iocdf.org) for information and referrals. DEAR ANNIE: I read the letter from "Feeling Unloved," who was considering cutting his teenage children out of his life because they don' t seem to want to spend time with him. As a high school coach, I have seen numerous teenagers navigate

the divorceoftheir parents. Divorced parents, you must realize thatyour teenagers are moving away from you at this time in their lives. Itisn'tbecause they don'trespect or love you. It is the natural way of growing up. Your teenagers don't want to spend a Saturday afternoon in your living room playing games. They want to be with their friends at the movies. But they still want you to notice what they do, accomplish and need.

soon asyou recognize that it's about your child and not about your pitiful situation, you will enjoy being a parent again. Your children are not responsible foryour divorce oryour recovery,anII they should not be expected to do anything to help you through this. Find other adults to help you.— COACH IN LODI, CALIF.

Ulcers generally unaffected by acidity of food DEAR DR. ROACH: I have recurring stomach ulcers, so I have been researching acid-alkaline diets to resolve the ulcer problem. I am &ustrated, as some researchindicates thata food is acid while another source indicates that it is alkaline. How do I know which is correct? — C.T. ANSWER: Nearly all ulcers either are caused by an infection with the bacteriaHelicobacter pylori or are aside effect ofnonsteroidal antiinflammatory medication. The acidity or alkalinity of the food you eat has very little, if any, efI'ect on developing stomach ulcers. The reason you see confusion about whether foods are alkaline or acid has to do with what is being measured. For example, lemons are highly acidic; however, if you burn them, their ash residue is alkaline. While interesting, this has no net e6'ect on body pH, which is tightly regulated by multiple systems.

DEAR DR. ROACH:I recently was

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. seen by a family practitioner after not having seen a doctor in 15 years, except at urgent care. I have Type 2 diabetes, and my recent Alc reading was 7.2. My cholesterolreadings,both good and bad, were average. The doctor mentioned to me that as soon as I go on Medicare (in 60 days), she wants me to take a statin drug. She indicates that this is "protocol" now for diabetes (asaprevention therapy).The side effects of statin drugs seem to me too dangerous to consider this when my cholesterol levels are good. There is heart disease (Rom my father) in the family. Thoughts? — I.M. ANSWER: Statin drugs reduce the risk ofheartattack,and probably

stroke, in people who are at higherthan-average risk for these conditions. The higher the risk, the more beneficial the medications are. However, the side effects are just as likely, no matteryour risk forvascular disease.So, statin drugs are not recommended for those at low risk, as the benefits are unlikely to outweigh the possible harms. There are many risk factors for heart disease. High cholesterol is one, but high blood pressure, smoking, family history and poor diet and exercise also are important risk factors. Diabetes, both Type 1 and Type 2, increases riskfor heartdisease,and so must be considered by your doctor when making the decision to recommend a statin. The risk is largely determined by how long you have had your diabetes and how well it has been controlled. There areseveral calculator tools available to estimate an individual's riskfor heartattack and death based on risk factors, although the most

Birthday for May 10. Your heart's at home this year. Health is your greatest wealth. Nurture family. Careful reflection shows you the changes to make after 6/14, with Saturn direct.

Duty competes with fun for your time. An authority figure provides useful guidance. Stick to old rules. Rely on solid infrastructure. Cut the rest. Reduce excess stuff.

In my opinion, this decision needs to be personalized, and protocolshowever well-meaning and well-done — cannot be substituted for individual judgment based on knowing the person, along with his or her risks and fears.

Today in history Today is Saturday, May 9, the 129th day of 2015. There are 236 days left in the year.

In 1951, the U.S. conducted its first thermonuclear experiment as part of Operation Greenhouse by detonating a 225-kiloton device on Enewetak Atoll in the Pacific nicknamed "George." In 1961, in a speech to the National Association of Broadcasters, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Newton N. Minow decried the majority of television programming as a "vast wasteland." In 1974, the House Judiciary Committee opened public hearings on whether to recommend the impeachment of President Richard Nixon. (The committee ended up adopting three articles of impeachment against the president, who resigned before the full House took up any of them.) In 1980, 35 people were killed when a freighter rammed the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay in Florida, causing a 1,400-foot section of the southbound span to collapse. In 1994, South Africa's newly elected parliament chose Nelson Mandela to be the country's first black president.

South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest club. Assuming VA4 South holds up his ace until the third round of the suit, how can the defenders obtain a topic of conversation for years to come? South has seven top tricks: two spades, Dealer: South three hearts, one diamond and one club. He Vulnerable: East-West hopes to establish his diamond suit for the loss of only one trick and either find clubs 4-4 or keep West off the lead while setting up his 2t Pass 2V Pass diamond suit.

If East plays low, South wins with his ace and leads a second round. Alternatively, if East puts up his diamond king, declarer plays low from his hand, then cashes the diamond ace next. In both cases, South ends with an overtrick. What is the answer? On the third club, East must discard his diamond king! Then West will gain the lead with his diamond queen to run his clubs. Yes, that is a tough play to find, but note that if South has the ace-queen of diamonds, East's king is powerless.

Summerville knocks out Hughson By GUY DOSSI The Union Democrat

One-hundred minutes was not enough time to have a winner emerge Fridaynight in round one of the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division V girls' soccer playoffs between the No. 6 Hughson Huskies and the No. 3 Summerville Bears. With the score tied 0-0 at the end of regulation, the game went to a shootout.

Summerville goalkeeper Isabella Boyak only allowed just one Hughson shot to touch net while the Bears peppered the Huskies goal with three scores and the Bears advanced to the final four.

Hughson took the first shot, and as Boyak walked to the goal, the Thorsted Field crowd began chanting "BELLA, BELLA, BELLA." "I was more nervous thinking about a shootout in the first half than I was when it was actually happening,"

said Boyak. "The crowd tonight really helped with all their chanting and support.That made my confidence level go up. Elexis Raya stepped up to take the first shot for Hughson, and as she put foot-to-ball, the shot sailed up and over the net. Even though the ball went high, Boyack had a simple game plan to stop the penalty kicks. "I knew that I just needed to pick a See BEARS / Page C3

Of the eight teams remaining in the playoffs, the most recent to win a championship is the Chicago Bulls, who capturedthe last oftheir six M ichael Jordan-era banners in

The Rockets won back-to-back titles in 1994-95 while the Warriors are 40 years removed from their last title.

ALAMEDA (AP) — Amari Cooper has been preparing for his first NFL practice ever since he was a 5-year-old in the backyard running patterns and catching passes from his buddies. The hard work that began about 15 years ago helped develop Cooper into one of the top receiversin college football and the fourth overall pick in last week's NFL draft by the Oakland Raiders. Cooper had his first chance to validate that selection on Friday,the opening day of the Raiders' three-day rookie minicamp. Cooper was joined

by Oakland's nine other draftpicks,14 undrafted &ee agents,eight first-year players and several others who were trying out to make the team.

"I told the guys last night, 'I don't care how you got here. Everybody here is going to be evaluated and we will keep the players we think will help us win games this fall, coach Jack Del Rio said. The Raiders are expecting

Cooper to provide the most immediate help. Cooper is considered one of the most p olished receivers t o come outofcollege in recent years and figures to

instantly become quarterback Derek Carr's top option in the passing game. Cooper will have to wait a week and a half to start practicing with Carr at the start of OTAs. He caught passes Friday &om Nevada undrafted free agent Cody Fajardo and Sacramento State's Garrett Safron, who was trying out for the team.

Cooper flashed some of the skills that made him so successful in college, bursting past seventh-round pick Dexter McDonald at one point to catch a deep touchdown pass from Fajardo. "It went exactly how I thought it would go," Cooper said. "It went pretty good. I made a couple of plays. We looked good out there as a team." Cooper led the nation with 124 catcheslastseason in the

tough SEC and ranked second with 1,727 yards recei ving and 16 touchdown catches. In three years with the Crimson Tide, Cooper had 228 catches for 3,463 yards and 31 touchdowils.

He credits his polish as a receiver to the fact that he has played the position his entire life. Cooper said he started working on running routes as a 5-year-old when he was just trying to get open in backyard games. Those skills developed even more when he remained at receiver in Pop Warner and he has stayed with the position. "He's going to be a good player," Del Rio said. "He' s just coming in getting started like all the rest of them. He' s a young man transitioning into the league. There's a lot of worktodo.It'sgood tohave him here and participating." Carr will also have a more familiar option to work with in his former college team-

mate at Fresno State, Josh Harper, who signed as an undraftedfree agent. Harper's

older sister, Qiava, is the vice president of premium seating aiid services.

Harper formed quite a connection in college with Carr, catching 79 passes for 1,011 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2013. "One of Derek's buddies. Derek was happy about that," Del Rio said. 'We did not discuss that with him prior to getting him here. But I know he was happy to have him join us. He's a guy who has some returnability,understands a little bit how to create separation and get open and has good hands. We' re glad to have himincamp." Notes: The Raiders announced the signings of 12 other undrafted &ee agents besides Harper and Fajardo: DBs Rob Daniel, Jimmy Hall, Tevin McDonald and Terrell Pinson; LBs Jacoby Hale, Braylon Mitchell and Josh Shirley; OL Quinterrius Eatmon; TE Gabe Holmes; RB Gus Johnson; DT Leon Orr; and WR Milton Williams.

Most telling, only two teams (Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans) have never been to an NFL title game or Super Bowl. MLB Twenty of 30 baseball franchises have won World Series titles since 1950, led by the New York Yankees with 15. The Los Angeles (previously Brooklyn) Dodgers are next with six, and a total of 16 teams have won multiple titles during this span. Only two clubs — Seattle Mariners and Washington Nationals/Montreal Exposhave never reached the World Series. The Chicago Cubs haven't been since 1945. NHL Eighteen of the league's 30 franchises have won a Stanley Cup, with the Montreal Canadiens the only double-digit winner (18 titles) since 1950. Twelve teams have won multiple championships.

BRIEFS Lease extension would keep Sharks at SAP until 2025 SAN JOSE (AP) — The San Jose Sharks expect to call SAP Center their home for at least the next 10 years.

Sharks owner Has so Plattner and San Jos e M ayor S a m L iccardo

an-

nounced Friday that the team and the city have reached a lease extension agreement at SAP Center through May 8, 2025, subject to approval by the City Council. The current lease runs

through June 30, 2018. Beginning in the 2026-27 season, the Sharks will be on a year-to-year lease through 2040. As part of the new deal, the city and Sharks have agreed on a plan to maintain and upgrade the facility. Now that the team has a new lease, Plattner said he can turnmore attention to other matters, such as hiring a coach and improving the team. SAP Center opened in 1993.

TCAM swimmers make small numbers count With only 11 swimmers, the Tuolumne County Aquatic Masters broke into the top 10 in the team scoring at the recent Pacific Masters Short Course Yard Championships. Over 600 swimmers representing 65 teams swam in the 25-yardcourse of the Olympic-sized pool April 10-12 at Campolinda High School in Moraga. Each of the local swimmers contributed both individual and relay points to the team total by placing in the top eight. The seven team relays scored double points with all top five finishes. The team had 11 new personal best times, six team records and twenty times faster than at the meet in 2014. The TCAM swimmers ranged in age from 55 to 82. Scoring significant points for the team were the women in the 65-plus age divisions. Five women ranked top 10 in the age group high point standings.

BEARS Continued from PageC1 side and go with it," Boyak said. "With PK's you really can't tell until the last second where they are going. So it's really a 50-50 guessing game." Summerville sent its star player Mali PetersonWood to attempt its fi rst shot, but there was some concern with PetersonWood as she walked to take her kick. Less than a minute before the end of the second half of overtime, PetersonWood suffereda cramp thatforced her out of the game. Coaches and trainers attended to her before the shootout began, but regardless of what they did, she was in an excruciating amount of pain. "We already knew who our five shooters were going to be," said Bears head coach Brad Schultz. "When it came to picking an order, we looked at them and asked, who was ready? Who wants to go first? Mali stepped up and said, 'I' ll go first' and we all agreed. We started out on a good note with her making that shot." As PetersonWood took her shot, scoring a goal was not the only thing that was on the mind of the senior star. "The first thing I thought was, I hope I d on't step on my left foot at all, so it doesn't cramp and make me mess up in front of everyone," said PetersonWood. "But the second thing was I knew it was a PK, so I knew I would be using my right foot.We spent a lot of tim e this week practicing PK's for this very moment. I'm pretty confident with my PK's and our top five are really great as well. I just didn't want to land wrong on my left foot when I was attempting the PK." Hughson tied the shootout on an Evelyn Gonzalez goal, but it would be short lived as Summerville sent sophomore Libby Rimmer for the Bears' second penalty kick. Rimmer nailed a shot over the head of the Hughson goalkeeper to give Summerville a lead it would never surrender. J anet River a tried t o tie the game, but her kick hit the top of the goal, and bounced over the net. Summerville failed on its third a ttempt an d d i d n't r e ally matter because Boyak stopped a Llianna Ramos shot to keep the score 2-1. "She is our core," PetersonWood said of Boyak. "She is the rock of this team. It s howed tonight that s h e had the intensity and bravery to do what she did. She stepped up in a huge way for this team tonight." Summerville needed just one more goal and sophomore M i n Ker r -Shifrin would be the one to send

ville couldn't get any open shots in the first period, and Hughson was not making lifeeasy fortheBear offense. "I think that they were applying a high amount of pressure on us and it took a little bit longer to adapt to that," PetersonWood said. "They were also winning the 50-50 balls. Also, with them pressuring high, our first touch got a little bit out of hand, so it was harder to get up and into the offensive third to get the shots off and make the runs." Hughson didn't spend a lot of time in Summerville territory, and when it did, junior Jessa Lucas made sure it didn't stay there long. "Jessa has an awareness to the field, and in the back,

that no one else on our team has," PetersonWood said. "She knows when to go in hard and t ackle cleanly, and get the ball out. She also knows when to calm everything down and get the ball out. Overall, she' s just a great defensive player and she is really soccer smart. She knows how the play the game well and is great adapting to our team needs. She's good at working with the team and is just an amazing player." With five minutes remaining in regulation, Hughson had itsbest chance to score off of a corner kick. With the ball in the air, and lots of bodies surrounding Boyak, it appeared as if somehow the ball would end up ricoHughs on packing as her cheting into the goal. Boyak shot went to the left of the stayed put, and made the goalkeeper and slammed save of the game. "They kicked th e b a ll against the back of the net for the win. and it was coming right toFor the first 100 minutes, wards me," Boyak said.

It was just laying right there on the line. I just dove on it as everyone was trying to get it." P eterson Wood did h e r best score before the end of regulation, but ever shot was just a little off the intended mark. "It is f r ustrating when you take shots and don' t make them, especially in a tight game like tonight, "PetersonWood said.

"We w ere moving t h e ball around and playing on their side of the field early in the game, but we just couldn't get that break for a good, clean look at the net," Schultz said. "But I have confidence in this team and I knew we could do it. I am very proud of the way the girls played tonight." Summerville will hit the road for the second round to face the Mother Lode League champion Amador Wednesday in Jackson. Summerville and Amador split their season series, with each team winning on their home field. No. 2 Amador defeated Orestimba 6-1 Friday night.

MLB GOLF Morrison HR in 11th lifts M's over A' s Na, Kelly share SEATTLE (AP) — Logan Morrison homered on the first pitch of the 11th inning from Oakland reliever Dan Otero, and the Seattle Mariners rallied to beat the Athletics 4-3 on Friday night. Otero (2-2) had just finished his Qs warmup pitches and left a 91 mph p itch over t h e middle of the plate to open the inning. Morrison didn't miss, hitting his fifth homer of the seasondeep into the seats in right-center field. It was Seattle's first game-ending homer since Kyle Seager in April 2014 against Houston. Seattle rallied Rom a 3-1 deficit, scoring twice with two outs in the seventh inning on consecutive RBI doubles &om Brad Miller and Robinson Cano to draw even. The Mariners also got a stellar effort from their bullpen that had struggled of late. Carson Smith (1-1) allowed just one baserunner pitching the 10th and 11th innings as Seattle relievers allowed one hit in six scoreless innings of relief. Josh Reddick hit a two-run homer for Oakland in thefi fi h inning, but Oakland managed just three baserunners the

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Much like his entire career,Jerry Kelly was just another player on the golf course Friday at The Players Championship. Tiger Woods kept the biggest gallery wondering how much longer they would see him when he fiirted with missing the cut until he deliverei a moment rarely seen

of late. He made a putt that m attered, a10-f oot birdie that allowed him to stick around for two more days. In the afternoon, Rory McIlroy made it easy on himself — by his standard at the TPC Sawgrass — with a dull round of 71 that kept him in contention. Dull can be good on the Stadium Course that meted out its share of pun-

ishment. And the island-green 17th was wild as ever. What

m o s t eve r yone

missed was the 48-year-old Kelly carving up the fiont nine with five birdies that carried him to a 7-under 65, giving him the low round this week and share of the lead with Kevin Na. "I enjoy adrenaline," Kelly said. "I am 48. I know it almost ravages the body as much as it helps it as you start getting older, but I would like to hang out for another couple of days." Kelly and Na, who settled down atter a wild start for a 69, where at 8-under 136. Both have some history on thisgolfcourse. Na was the 54-hole lead at The Players three years ago until he faded under intense scrutinyof serious swing is-
