"I thinkhe never considered himself as having left," author Charles Sawyer, who wrote 'The Arrival of B.B. King" in 1980, explained Friday. "And he was very conscious about

The o f llowinwgere McCli ntock's opening statements:
The Subcommittee on Federal Lands meets today to examine Litigation and Increased Planning's Impact on Our Nation's Overgrown, Hre-Prone National Forests. Between 1989 and 2008, 1,125 lawsuits were filed against the Forest Service. Many more have been filed since then and much more case law created. There is no doubt that litigation has had a profound impact on the Forest Service and subsequently the management

and mismanagement of
our national forests. Sadly, litigatio n has become a cottage industry for some extremist groups whose sole purpose is to litigate the Forest Service with little regard to the impact and destruction they are causing. Responding to appeals, lawsuits or even the threat of &ivolous lawsuits, Forest Service employees have reduced the sizeand scope of projects and tried to 'bullet-proof" environmental documents required to implement forest management projects. The goal of the Forest Service then becomes not good forest management, but to prevent litigation or endless legal delays. The result is thicker and thicker environmental documents, more agency time and taxpayer dollars spent on smaller projects that accomplish less. During the 80's, environmental documents to approve average forest management projects took roughly 3-6 months. Now they take anywhere &om 14 to 20 months to completethatisifthey are evercompleted. Millions of taxpayer dollars are spent on shuffling paper, over-analysis and ensuring process is followed. We currently estimate planning and environmental analysis are roughly 60 percentofthe costs offorest management projects.The increased cost of paperwork does not translate into greater benefits to the environment. In fact, it's just the opposite.
The greatest threat to many endangered species and their habitat is catastrophic wildfire. Yet rather than thinning the forest to protect this habitat, we' re spending millions upon millions on extraordinarily long, complicated, voluminous documents that impede our ability to properly manage the forestsforthebenefitofallspecies. A quarter century of extremist litigation has placed our forestsin extreme distress.Forest Service employees are demoralized and have little incentive to plan meaningful projects. Vibrant rural communities that once had an integrated forest products industry providing high wage jobs have faded away and instead find their finances hostage to largess &om the Federal Government. Our forests are dying and burning up at an alarming rate. This is surely not the vision Teddy Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot had when they createdthe ForestService. California's National Forests serve as one of many examplesofthis problem. Its national forests average 266 trees peracreon a landscape that historically sustained 20 to 100 trees per acre. This extreme overcrowding means that forestsare dangerously stressed,falling prey to disease,pestilence and catastrophic wildfire. Congressman Tom McClintock, R-Elk Grove, represents Tuolumne and Calaveras counties.

/ GUEST COLUMN
Most of gas price surge due to fixing? There is absolutely no doubt about a few facts surrounding the gasoline price surge Californians experienced in late winter and early spring. In March, California prices averaged 84 cents per gallon higher than the national average of $2.54 per gallon, rising to $3.38 after a wintertime dip. That meant Californians spent $34 million per day more for their gas that month than they would have in most other places. For the month of March, the extra tab came to more than $1 billion from California pocketbooks, or an average of $43 per driver. No one yet knows how much extra the similar price spike oflateAprilhas cost. There is some disagreement over why things occurred as they did late last winter. Oil companies maintain their usual springtime refinery maintenance and the shift &om winter to summer fuel formulas was a prime part of the cost. They alsoargue that California gasoline taxes are higher than those elsewhere. These are certainly factors, but they don't come near to accounting for the differencebetween California pricesand those in the rest of the Lower 48 states (prices on the U.S. mainland should never be compared with costs in Hawaii and Alaska, where distance from refineries raises prices greatly). Gas taxes account for less than onefourth of the price difFerential, or about 15 cents per gallon higher than elsewhere, according to UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. The changeover in fuelcomposition can also account for a little, perhaps as much as another 10 percent ofthedifferential.Thatleavesoil companies to answer for about 70 percent

swer for the $1 billion extra they charged in March. The Legislature should demand the companies explain their billion-dollar bonanza." For sure, refiners keep California inventories low, with only about a 10.7-day supply on hand at most times, according to a seven-page report produced by Consumer Watchdog.The average inventory in the rest of the nation would last about 18 days.
by just two companies — between them, Chevron and Tesoro (often marketed under the Shell emblem) control 55 percentofthe state'sgasoline market — also contributes. Altogether, four companies provide76 percent ofCaliforniagasoline. That consolidation is the main reason the number of refineries in this state dropped&om 30 to 11 over the last 33 years. It is probably no coincidence that prices at stations like Flying J and Pilot, run by an "outsider" company — often run well below those at the major brands. These facts this spring led Tom Steyer, a financier, venture capitalist and environmentalactivist considering a 2018 run forgovernor,to suggest state lawmakers demand answers to questions like these two: 1) Why do refiners keep so much less gasoline on hand here than in the rest of America? And 2) Why don' t refineries that do not close step up production when it becomes clear supplies are dropping? Another question he might have added: Why should oil companies not be prosecuted for gouging when fully 34 percent of what they charged in March (according to the California Energy Commission) went for refinery costs and profits? If state lawmakers don't demand answers to these questions and more, they will be derelict in their duty and provide oil companies an open invitation to gouge Californians even more the next time

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Amtrak train that derailed along the nation's busiest tracks may have been struck by an object in the moments before it crashed, investigators said Friday, raising new questions about the deadly accident. National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt said an assistant conductor aboard the train told investigators that she heard the Amtrak engineer talking over the radio with an engineerfor a regional railroad just before the crash. The regional engineer, who was in the same area as the Amtrak train, said his train had been hit by a rock or some other projectile. The conductor heard Brandon Bostian, who was at the Amtrak controls, say the same had happened to his train, according to Sumwalt. The windshield of the Amtrak train was shattered in the accident but one
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)A for-profit college company with 15 campuses in California was ordered by the state Friday to stop enrolling new or returning students who plan to fund their educations with GI Bill benefits. The order to ITT Educational Services came in a suspension notice issued by a division of the California Department of Veterans Affairs that sanctions training programs to serve veterans. ITT operates more than 135 schools in 39 states under the names HT Technical Institute and Daniel Webster College. The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a fraud complaint against the Indiana-based company this week over an alleged scheme to cover up losses from private student loans that ITT had guaranteed to its investors.

BEIJING (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is in China to press Beijing to halt increasingly assertive actions it is taking in the South China Sea that have alarmed the United States and China's smaller neighbors. Amid verbal sparring between U.S. and Chinese o%cials over land reclamation projects China is conducting in disputed waters, Kerry arrived in Beijing on Saturday for a series of meetings with the communist nation's top leaders. American officials said this week that Kerry is bringing a message to Beijing that China's large-scale land reclamation and general behavior in the South China Sea hurt China's image and foreign relations, in-

BOSTON (AP) — After slouching through his trial for months with a bored look on his face, the defendant was ordered to rise. For close to half an hour, Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was on his feet, fidgeting as he listened to the reading of a 24-page worksheet in which a jury dismantled, piece by piece, any hope he had of mercy. By page 21, his fate was clear: death by injection. In the nation's most closely watched terrorism trial since the Oklahoma City bombing,the 21-year-old Tsarnaev was sentenced to death Friday by a federal jury that swept aside arguments he was just a "kid" who fell under the influence ofhisfanaticalolderbrother.

BOARD Continued from Page Al called "sharing economy" businesses. Senate Bill 593, introduced by State Sen. Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg, aims to help local governments track online vacation rentals through hosting companies, such as Airbnb, Homeaway and VacationRental by Owner. Individuals are able to earn money by offering their residential properties for short-term stays to willing renters
through the various companies' websites and mobile apps. The practice is also referred to as "homesharing." According to a memo from County Administrator Craig Pedro, SB 593 would "provide local government tools to ensure land use and tax payment compliance" by the short-term rental industry. "The growth of this industry is leading toconcerns related to the proliferation ofhotel-type uses within residential zoned areas, non-payment of Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) on such rentals and the unfair playing field this represents on the local lodging industry." The SenateGovernment and Finance
Committee on Wednesday approved the bill, which now heads to the full Senate. McGuire's bill would require hosting companies to provide quarterly reports to California cities and counties to help them track the rentals within their jurisdictions, and allow local governments to impose a fine or penalty upon hosting companies that fail to provide the reports. The bill would also require hosting companies to collect the TOT on rentals they facilitate and pay them to the appropriate local government agencies, as well as face penalties for facilitating the rentals in areas where they' re not allowed. Though "homesharing" and shortterm rentals are not new concepts, the growth of the industry has skyrocketed with the rise of such online companies that o6er an easy way for individuals to list and find rentals. In February, the Sonora City Council approved an ordinance to tax and regulate such rentals within the city limits. Individuals offering rentals for less than 30 days are required to purchase a specialpermit for$50in ordertooperate legally. The rental's owners are required to pay the city's TOT, which is 10
percentofthecharged rentalrate. Anyone operating short-term rentals
within the county is already required to pay the county's TOT, which is the same as the city' s. A portion of the TOT &om both the city and county goes toward funding the Tuolumne County Visitors Bureau. Opponents of McGuire's legislation have cited privacy concerns and the possibility of online hosting companies no longer offering their services in California because of the proposed regulations. Also at Tuesday's meeting, the board is scheduled to: • Consider approving the fiscal year 2014-15 year-end budget review and allassociated budgetary adjustments, as well asreceive a presentation on the statusoftheproposed 2015-16 budget. • Hold a series of public hearings starting at 1:30 p.m. to consider several land-use changes requested by county property owners, including the cancellation of development agreement for a proposed 34-lot residential subdivision on the 20500 block of North Sunshine Road.

The hearing was centered around issues a6ecting national forest management, aimed at infiuencing future legislation. Using the 2013 Rim Fire as an example, Hanvelt focused his testimony on regulatory constraints he argued can lead to litigation and impede forestmanagement practices. He also talked about a perceivedlack ofurgency by lawmakers. 'The situation in the forest is critical," he said. "I told Congressthat it's their problem, it's their fault." Malmsheimer, a p r ofessor of forestpolicy and law at the State University of New York's College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Malmsheimer submitted written testimony citing a 2014 study he worked on that analyzed the final outcomes of 1,125 land-management cases filed against the U.S. Forest Service &om 1989 to 2008, finding that the agency won about 54 percent of those cases during that time period. Accordingto Malmsheimer's written testimony, vegetation management — such as logging and post-fire timber salvaging — represented 40 percentof allcases and were the ones most likely to be appealed. Hanvelt said the subcommittee generally seemed to agree with his comments, with the exception of Massachusetts Rep. Niki Tsongas, the subcommittee's ranking Democrat. "She (Tsongas) kept saying the forests are difierent than private land, they belong tothepeopleand they're a national treasure," he said. "Absolutely, how do you argue with that?" However, Hanvelt continued, "She said the American peopleallneed their say (in the process)... Not true, knowledgeable people need to manage the forest. All those with the appropriate credentials need to have their input." Hanveltdescribed the trip as "kind of a whirlwind." The Tuolumne County Boardof Supervisors approved a travel budgetofabout $2,500 forthe two-day excursion. He woke up at 3 a . m. Wednesday and got a ride to Sacramento for a fiight that departed at 6:20 a.m., finally arriving at his hotel in D.C. around 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The hotel, located in Maryland about 13 miles away from the Capitol building in D.C., was part of a chain called Even Hotels, which are designedfor travellers who want to maintain an "active and healthy lifestyle," according to the company's website.

"I have a high level of confidence in the Law Enforcement Officers assigned to this Forest," Higgins said Friday. "I recognize concerns remain regarding access to public lands, and these concerns remain a priority for the leaders of the Stanislaus National Forest. We continue to work with interested members of the public to ensure adequate and appropriate levelsofaccess."

Poe claims Forest Service law enforcement officers have overstepped their authority and abused their
"I' ve never seen anything
like it," Hanvelt said. "The peopleatthe frontdesk were almost like in workout uniforms, and there was fitness equipment in every room. The meals they offered were all these very healthy things, like kale and spinach salads." Ironically, Hanvelt is in the processofrecoveringfrom rethe equipment after getting to his room. He settled for ordering a salad and going over his notes for the next day' s hearing. Hanvelt said he only got about two hours of sleep before being picked up about 7:20 a.m. in an "Uber car," a privatetaxi ordered through a web-based mobile app. Due to heavy traffic con-
gestion, it t ook H anvelt's Uber about an hour to travel the 13 miles from the hotel to the Capitol building. The drive allowed him to geta glimpse of some of D.C.'s famous landmarks, including the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial. " Washington is a n i m pressive place," he s aid. "The greenery was good and looked healthy. I would say the parkway was overgrown, but that's OK." After arriving at the House building, Hanvelt was then ushered into another building connected by a tunnel to the hearing that started at 9:30 a.m. Hanvelt had no time for sightseeing after the hearing ended and went straight to Reagan National Airport, arrivingabout 1 p.m. He had a three-hourlayoverin Kansas City, Missouri. "As fortune would find it, my son (Erik Hanvelt) lives in Kansas City," he said. "I cleared security, went with him to his house, which is about 20 minutes away, got about 40 minutes of dinner
with his wife (Angela) and their daughter (Paulina)." After dinner, Hanvelt returned tothe airport later that evening for a connecting fiight to Sacramento via Las Vegas. He finally arrived at his hotel in Sacramento a bout midnight, with h i s wife, Gloria, there to meet him. The couple returned to Tuolumne County about 10:30 a.m. Friday. "If I had the opportunity to do it again, I'd do it again," he said of the trip. "It was a privilege and an honor to be asked."

Mele has met with Stanislaus forestpatroland investigative leaders, and he has concerns, but he has not gone as far as pulling federal officers' "local state" authority in Tuolumne County. "Obviously we want to make sure visitors and the public in general are treated with the utmost respect," Mele said. "We have gone and talked with the Forest Service leadership on both sides, the patrol and investigative. "I' ve personally talked to both of them and told them of some of the complaints that have come to our attention," Mele said. "We have talked about making sure their training is up to speed with California peace officer training. The information we got back from them was there are some training issues they need to address. They have assured me some changes will be made." Mele said he has to consider that 70 percent of Tuolumne County is underfederalland management. "We have to keep in mind that if we go down this road, pulling federal officers' powers, would we be jeopardizing public safety?" Mele said.

power in exchanges with miners and other forest visitors in incidents that began in January. Poe said the allegedproblems with Stanislaus National Forest law enforcementoffi cers began Jan. 24 when three people went into the forest near Coulterville to work a claim owned by the American Mining Rights Association. Poe allegesa Forest Service law enforcement captain that day pointed aTaser at the face ofone person running a sluice box in a creek, on a valid federal mining claim. Poe also says his group investigated other incidents where Forest Service law enforcement officers allegedly stopped vehicles on public roads, demanded the drivers get out, produce identification, and put their hands on their vehicles while officers searched their vehicles "without any probablecause or reason in direct violation of our Fourth Amendment and their own code of conduct." The American Mining Rights Association is billed as a nonprofit advocacygroup that grants access to gold claims.

The Mariposa County sherifF said more in a phone interview later Thursday. "In California the local authority is granted, extended by the local sheriff in each county, to enforce applicable state or local laws," Binnewies said. "In this case, the Stanislaus law enforcement are still patrolling in Mariposa County with federal authority." Binnewies said he has communicated with Rep.

Fabric artist shares needle-felting techniques By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat
Sonora felt artist Kathryn "Kat" Jackson has a menagerie of handmade woolen animals — from frogs and dogs to goats and bears. Jackson made the animals using a basic dry- or needle-felting technique that she demonstrated to fellow fiber aficionados at a meeting Tuesday of the Mother Lode Weavers and Spinners Guild at the Columbia Church of the 49ers. Jackson was a "spinner," and while at a Solvang business to get her mother's spinning wheel fixed, the owner showed her a book on felted dogs. "She gave me a kit and I was off," Jackson said. "Now I do felting more than spinning."

and plenty of imagination, Jackson said. The premise is thisusing barbed needle, wool fibers are tangled and compactedby repeatedly jabbing the needle into the fibers, forming three-dimensional felt sculptures. Felting needles have sharp, barbed blades that tangle fiber into felt when a repetitive jabbing motion is used. Felting needles come in different gauges and blade/ barb configurations, Jackson explained to the guild on Tuesday. Jackson said she prefers using a single needle because it gives her more control, but that it's something that doesn't matter much and is a personal preference. Single needles also don't show holes as much as multiple point needles, she said. It's best to

use single needles for joint work or smaller projects. Multipleneedles are good for large projects. So the more one punches the wool, the more it tightens up. It's also advisable for people to punch the needle in up and down, rather than at an angle, otherwise the needle can break. It's really onerous to dig out a broken needle from a felt body, Jackson said. When beginning an animal project, Jackson starts out with a handful of fiber and makes the body/torso/

"I couldn't talk or yell. I had no phone to text a message. I thought I would be stranded until someone found us," said Brozman, who lives on her own in Santa Rosa, California, with a wheelchair and Caspin, who understands English and sign language. Caspin put his neck under her hand
until she got a finger looped on his collar. "Then, very slowly, he started to pull me forward. He pushed the door open. Then he stayed by me until I could function enough to get into bed," she said.
Caspin ranks as a Protodog, a spontaneous pooch that bonds easily and can solve problems on its own or with people, according to dog intelligence measures created by scientists and
trainers. The Dognition Assessment uses 20games to determine a dog's level of empathy, communication, cunning,memory and reasoning. People believing they have a smarty pants for a pet can see if their dog fits the bill on Nat Geo Wild's three-part

People can buy or make their own patterns to help guide them along the way, but Jackson says she just wings it.

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 callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau hOuniondemocrat.corn

os nei DEAR ANME : M y n e xt-door neighbor has made my husband and me feel like prisoners in our own home. The day we moved into our house, she stood in our front yard and asked where each piece of furniture was going to be placed in the home. When we have family and friends over for a backyard barbecue, she walks right over to the grill and interrupts our meal. Anytime one of us is outside, she immediately comes by to ask what we are doing or to gossip about other neighbors. Her childrenare rude, as well. Her oldest daughter leaned into my daughter's face and deliberately belched. Idon'teven want my daughter to play with her children, which istoobad because they live so close.

For every payment he makes, he gets a receipt. I do this so that his siblings cannot say he is taking advantage of me.

OROS COI' Birthday for May 17. Home has your heart this year. Consider big changes thoroughly before making your move (easier after 6/14). Energize and meditate with exercise. A passionate attraction reaches a new level after 10/13. Make a difference together. Clear clutter, review the past and invent the future after 10/27. Invest for growth. Nurture the ones you love. To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 7 — There's a delay. Peaceful time near home soothes and satisfies. Take time to absorb recent news. Resolve a disagreement with allies. Make an emotional appeal. Get philosophical. The opposition holds out, and it could get tense. Love triumphs. Taurus (Aptil 20-May 20): Today is a 9 — New directions arise after the New Moon tonight. Start by figuring out what you want. Make long-term plans, including dreams for yourself and others.

more insulin, such as glyburide, tend to promote weight gain. On the other hand, medicines that reduce insulin levels tend to promote weight loss. Metformin works mostly by preventing the liver from making sugar, so the body'8 own insulin can work more effectively on the sugar we take in through food. Another medicine, exenatide (Byetta), promotes weight loss in some people. Other medications for Type 2 diabetes have variable effects on weight. Of course, controlling total calorie intake, especially carbohydrate intake, has a powerful effect on weight, both directly and indirectly. Similarly, exercise makes insulin work better, so modest changes in diet and exercise, along with careful attention to the choice of diabetes medication, can help promote weight loss. I have found that exercising a half-hour or so after eating seems to work well.
Today is Saturday, May 16, the 136th day of 2015. There are 229 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On May 16, 1975, Japanese climber Junko Tabei became the first woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest. On this date: In 1770, Marie Antoinette, age 14, married the future King Louis XVI of France, who was 15. In 1868, the U.S. Senate failed by one vote to convict President Andrew Johnson as it took its first ballot on the eleven articles of impeachment against him. In 1920, Joan of Arc was canonized by Pope Benedict XV. In 1939, the federal government began its first food stamp program in Rochester, New York. In 1943, the nearly
month-long Warsaw Ghetto Uprising came to an end as German forces crushed the Jewish resistance and blew up the Great Synagogue. In 1948, CBS News correspondent George Polk, who'd been covering the Greek civil war between communist and nationalist forces, was found slain in Salonika Harbor. In 1955, American author and critic James Agee died in New York at age 45. In 1988, the U.S. Supreme Court, in California v. Greenwood, ruled that police can search discarded garbage without a search warrant. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop released a report declaring nicotine was addictive in ways similar to heroin and cocaine. In 1990, death claimed entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. in Los Angeles at age 64 and "Muppets" creator Jim Henson in New York at age 53.

This says that North is raising hearts with four-card support, really likes his hand, and has the club ace. Here, of 14 Pass 2 N T Pas s course, South signs off in four hearts. (If North S V Pas s 44 Pass has fewer than four hearts, he continues with 4Y Pass P a s s Pa s s either three spades or three no-trump.) West leads the diamond ace, and East signals enthusiastically with his 10 to indicate the Openinglead:I A queen, the honor touching the two promised by West's opening lead. Now West should lead his diamond two. This shows that he started with exactly four diamonds. (If he had only three, he would have cashed the king before playing the third round. And if he had five, would have led his original fourth-highest at trick two.) East takes this trick and knows that South is now out of diamonds. East can also see his trump trick. So he should shift to the club 10, hoping to establish a fourth defensive winner there, which is exactly what happens.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Outfielder Hunter Pence was on his way to rejoin the San Francisco Giants on Friday night, fully recovered from a broken forearm. Manager Bruce Bochy said Pence felt good after a one-week rehab assignment in the minors and was flying to Cincinnati. He could be activated on Saturday before the third game of a series against the Cincinnati Reds. Pence's left forearm was broken by a pitch from the Cuba' Corey Black on March 5. He went 5 for 17 with two homers in five games on a rehab assignment withTriple-A Sacramento. "The last couple of games, he said he' s never felt better," said Bochy, who spoke with him on Friday.

Pierce tao late, Hawks win series vs. Wizards WASHINGTON (AP) Kyle Korver was the Atlanta Hawks' closest defender as Paul Pierce shimmied to his left and launched a 3-point try, hoping to extend the Washington Wizards' season by forcing overtime in Game 6 of the teams' second-round series. The shot swished, apparently tying the score at the buzzer. Pierce raised his arms; both teams began thinking about OT. Then, though, the play was reviewed, showing the clock expiredbefore Pierce released the basketball. "It went in and it's just like, 'You' ve got to be kidding me. That did NOT just happen,"' Korver said, shaking his head. "I thought he got it off.Iw asgetting ready for overtime. And then ... you' re like, 'Heeeeyyyy! All right! We' ll take it!

''We' ll obviously be watching on Sunday to figure it out," Curry said of the ClippersRockets Game 7. "I feel like if we do what we' re supposed to do in the next round, we'll be all right." Mare Gasol led Memphis with 21 points and 15 rebounds. Vince Carter added 16 off the bench, Zach Randolph had 15, Courtney Lee 12 and Conley 11. Curry finished the series with 25 3-pointers, one more than the Grizzlies managed as a team. When he beat the buzzer with that long 3, he celebrated by bumping chests with Iguodala and David Lee. He then added 11 points in the fourth quarter to finish off the Grizzlies. "It'sjust one of those special moments," Grizzlies guard Tony Allen said of Curry. "He' s a special kind of guy. They make those kind of shots." That stellar shooting helped the Warriors win a second series in the same postseason for the first time since capturing the title in 1975, and they never trailed in this game.

Golden State led 32-19 bythe end ofthe first quarterand Memphis had one more field goal (7) than the Warriors had 3-pointers (6). The Splash Brothers outscored the Grizzlies by themselves combining for 22 points. But Curry and Thompson got plenty of help with teammates taking turns knocking down shots. "I think what you see with their team is I think that they really grew up," Joerger said. "They really grew through the battleof this series and matured to the point where I think that will help them, unfortunately, in the future being able to take the hits that they took and the physicality that I think we are known for." Memphis tried t o r a lly, opening the third quarter with a 13-5 spurt with two fee throws by Green pulling the Grizzlies within 63-62 with 3:59 left. Grid.n hit a jumper

Former Miami kicker Yepremian dies at 70 MIAMI (AP) — Garo Ye pre mian, the f ormer NFL kicker who helped the Miami Dolphins win consecutive NFL championships but is best remembered for a Super Bowl blooper, died Friday ofcancer. He was 70. Yepremian's wife, Maritza, said he died at a hospital in Media, Pennsylvania. His illness was diagnosed in May 2014, she said. Yepremian played &om 1966 to 1981. The native of Cyprus came to the United States at age 22 and kicked in the first NFL game he ever saw. His 37-yard field goal in the second overtime ended the longest game in NFL history, a Dolphins' playoff victory over Kansas City on Christmas 1971, and he helped Miami win back-to-back NFL titles in 1972-73. But Yepremian's gaffe in the fourth quarter oftheSuper Bowl in January 1973 nearly spoiled the Dolphins' bid to complete a perfect season. With M iami l e ading 14-0 and on the verge of finishing the season 17-0, the Washington Redskins blocked Yepremian's fieldgoal attempt. He picked up the ball and tried to throw it but fumbled, and the Redskins' Mike Bass ran it 49 yards for a touchdown.

Sagan is not expected to retain his race lead in the mountainous seventh stage, but he didn't concede the race, either. "I have won some prologues (short time trials), but the (15 miles) is a little long for me," said Sagan. "Maybe they will change the course tomorrow, too." The event continues Sat-
urday with the 80-mile road race Rom Ontario to Mount Baldy. The second and final mountain stage of the race's 10th edition, will f eature three climbs, including the final 3.4-mile effort to the ski resort with an elevation of 10,064 feet.

Dung Friday's practice, generalmanager Trent Baalke watched the rookies and took time to shake hands with several of them, such as third-round pick Harold. Later, Harold fist-bumped wide receiver Issac Blakeney and patted cornerback Kenneth Acker on the shoulder as they went through blocking drills. The 6-foot-6 Blakeney, a former tight end at Duke, is one of five undrafted free agent wideouts. 'You look at those things, the interaction, the way they
work, the way they interact in drills, the way they interact after a play talking to each other," Tomsula said. At the end of their day, when Bowman, quarterback Colin Kaepernick and the veterans might be long gone, the rookies meet as a group for a final hour for classes through the team's player engagement program. On Thursday, they went through media training by asking each other mock questions, and on Wednesday they took a tour of the museum at Levi's Stadium to learn some of the history of a franchise that won five Super Bowl championships in the 1980s and 1990s. Tight end Busta Anderson sent photos of statues in the museum to his family. Rookie punter B r adley Pinion thought the Q-and-A session was helpful, and they asked Mike Davis questions, though he joked that nobody asked him anything good.
"All of us guys have gotten really close. We were having fun with it," said Pinion, who noted his last name is pronounced, "Opinion without the 'O.'" Former Australian League rugby star Jarryd Hayne is making an impression, too. His good hands were on display catching punts, and Tomsula made a point to greet him with a handshake during practice. The 27-year-old Hayne decided last year to give up his career in the Australian
National Rugby League to chase his NFL dream across the world. He will compete for a job as a running back and return man on special teams. "Did you see him catching those punts? It's a little easier catching a football than it is a rugby ball "Tomsula said. "The wind gets that rugby ball and that thing's zig-zagging all over the place.

American Pharoah favored to win Preakness BALTIMORE (AP) American Pharoah won the
Kentucky Derby, yet didn' t look unbeatable, as he had in his previous races. His trainer says he struggled. His jockey went to the whip about 30 times to urge him on in the stretch. His owner says the Derby wasn't even closeto hisbesteffort. And now it's time for the P reakness, where a v i c tory Saturday would set up American Pharoah for a Triple Crown chance at the Belmont Stakes in three weeks. It also would give trainer Bob Baffert an unprecedented fourth Triple try. Is American Pharoah up to the task? "That horse didn't really get his A game together in the Kentucky Derby, and he still won," marveled Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas, who trains long shot Mr. Z, on Friday morning outside the stakes barn at Pimlico Race Course. "That's a scary thought." American Pharoah, owned by Ahmed Zayat is the 4-5 morning-line favorite in an eight-horse field, and will be ridden by Victor Espinoza. Stablemate Dortmund, third in the Derby, is the second choice at 7-2, and Derby runner-up Firing Line is 4-1.

Dortmund also is trained by Baffert, setting up the possibility of a trainer spoiling his own Triple Crown chance.
