The Angels Camp City Council on Tuesday adopted mandatory water conservation measures limiting all its water customers to two days

a week of outdoor ornamental plant watering. The city aims to meet a 25 percent-per-month p otable water-use reduction compared to 2013, following Gov. Jerry Brown's unprecedented executive order in April. The council had the choice of passingthat 25 percent reduction to its 1,700 customers or, instead, restricting out-

door ornamental landscape watering to two days a week. The council chose to follow the recommendation of City Engineer Dave Myers and adopt a two-day-a-week watering schedule, similar to what the Calaveras County See COUNCIL/Back Page

Several hundred students and dozens of adults participated Tuesday in the fourth annual San Andreas Community Health Walk. The event is organized by Calaveras Public Health Services, in partnership with several other government and health agencies, to promote walking and activity. One-mile and 2-mile walking paths and a separate wheelchair-accessible path were drawn through downtown San Andreas, taking participants to Turner Park, where several more fitness activities were held. The day also highlighted both the existing and lacking infrastructure to perform such walks.

OUR VIEW

The recent re-promotion of two Cal Fire captains, demoted during a shakeup at the agency's Ione academy, is furtherproof thatserious state reforms atthe Department of Forestry and Fire Protection are needed. The Associated Press and various newspapers report that Justin Chaplin and Frank Schonig were reinstated even though both were supposedly demoted following an

& M O~

investigation that found they cheated on promotion exams

in order to attain their ranks. The problem lies within the terms of the demotion — that is, it was "temporary," like the 12-month pay cut they are supposed to take. It's unclear where the two employees were hired or if their pay was restored at this point. Cal Fire Director Ken Pimlott says he was surprised to learn the men were back working at their previous ranks. He says he's working with the State Personnel Board to reinstate the demotions. He also says he's working with the board on disciplinary policies so that, in the future, demotions such as those given

Chaplin and Schonig stick. The Chaplin and Schonig story is just one chapter in the agency's scandal-plagued recent history. The two were among 16 people who resigned, were fired, or were disciplined aAer a California Highway Patrol investigation of the academy that followed the arrest of a battalion chief, Orville Fleming, accused of killing his mistress. The misconduct uncovered included some employees abusing time on the clock, drinking on the job, sexually harassing women, and using Cal Fire vehicles and cell phones to solicit prostitutes.

Given that Cal Fire employees carry the training, and likely the culture, learned at the academy to other firehouses, this particularly threatens the agency's integrity. The problems at Cal Fire already go beyond the academy. As reported earlier in this paper, the unit chief for the Tuolumne-Calaveras Cal Fire division in San Andreas, Josh White, was been blasted by a judge for lying under oath about an investigation report into 2007's Moonlight Fire in Plumas County. White, another investigator and state attorneys claimed a contractorforSierra Pacifi cIndustries accidentally started the fire with some equipment. SPI says Cal Fire was after its deep pockets and won a $24 million settlement against the state for attorney fees and related expenses. Yet, White remains comfortably in his post. What Cal Fire needs now more than anything is restoration of its credibility. The kind that comes from seriously cleaning house. Pimlott seems to be at least heading in that direction,. But he also clearly needs to do more in terms of removing corruptor lax staffers and setting a new tone at the academy in Ione. He also needs the support and oversight of our lawmakers and, more importantly, the governor's office (Gov. Brown

is a rare state Democrat who has shown he's not afraid to stand up to powerful unions. Too, Pimlott was his appointee.). More importantly, Cal Fire employees need to demand integrity of their co-workers and leaders. An internal, grassroots push for reform will have a much longer-lasting impact.

TUD: Are we in a drought or not? To the Editor: Wait a minute here! I read the front page oftoday's (May 13) Union Democrat and will someone please tell us whether we are in a drought or not? Every issue of the newspaper notes that we are far below where we should be for water and snow pack for this year. A quick drive to New Melones Reservoir will substantiate how serious this situation really is. As residents of Tuolumne County and customers of Tuolumne Utilities District, we are asked to reduce our water usage by 30 percent based on 2013. To further complicate things, w e are facing a rate increase for our water because TUD is short about $1.8 million due to less cus-

Then, the TUD board at their meeting approved a water connection for a new Dollar General store in Soulsbyville.

In my opinion, this was the second strike for him after his support of a new water hookup for a housing development a month or so ago.

Brittan had the forethought to get a federal identification num-

BASE jumper, 73, dies in accident TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — Authorities say a 73-year-old BASE jumper who died aftr leaping Rom an Idaho bridge had set his parachute on fire as part of a stunt. A graphic video of the fatal jump, posted to You Tubeon Monday, shows someone engulfed in flames and falling from the Perrine Bridge into the Snake River, 500 feet below. James E. Hickey had apparently planned to ditch the flaming parachute and deploy a second chute in the May 7 stunt. Professional BASE jumper Sean Chuma told Twin Falls newspaper The Times-News that he had heard Hickey successfully performed the stunt skydiving. The initial report from the Twin Falls County Sheriff"s Office said only that Hickey's parachute deployed too late. The video shows two BASE jumpers climb-

ing over the railing of the Perrine Bridge and leaping at about the same time. But while one jumper glides safely away underneath a parachute, the other becomes engulfed in a fireball and falls quickly out of view. The video pans back to the river just after the burning jumper hits the water. A boat arrivesseconds later,and thevideo ends. A coroner's report said Hickey, of Claremont, California, died ofbluntforce trauma. BASE jumping has come under increased scrutiny as at least five people have died in accidents since January, including two last week at Yosemite National Park. The acronym BASE" stands for building, antenna, span and earth, the types of places from which jumpers leap. It's illegal in many places but allowed year-round without a permit at the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls.

They are particularly concerned with China. State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said Tuesday the U.S. government takes "economic espionage" very seriously. "This case demonstrates that the U.S. is committed to protecting U.S. companies' trade secretsand theirproprietary business information from theft.

Helmet camera captured deadly Yosemite clitTjump SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A camera on the helmet of cliff jumper Dean Potter, who died in Yosemite National Park, shows that he may have tried to avoid his friend who slammed into a ridge and then hit the rocks himself a split second later, a park official said. It's not clear what went wrong, but authorities are using the video captured by Potter's GoPro and other images to reveal how he and Graham Hunt — both wearing wingsuits — died in the illegal stunt. M ike G a uthier, t h e park'schief of staff, said images show that several seconds after the jump, Hunt clipped the r i ght side of a notch in a ridge. Potterswooped leftpossi-

bly to miss Hunt, Gauthier said, but then hit the rocks just beyond Hunt on theopposite side ofthe notch. "It could have been an evasive maneuver,"Gauth-

ier told the San Francisco Chronicle in a T u esday report. "Someone else said they saw a clipped piece of a tree up there, so we don' t know for sure." The two men jumped at dusk Saturday from Taft Point, 3,500 feet above the valley floor. They wore batlike suits designed to glide them downward at 100 mph from the cliff face, through rocky outcroppings and over trees to asafe landing. Instead, they died instantly, and their bodies were found 50 yards apart.

Third dead whale washes ashore PACIFICA — A dead whale was found on a beach south of San Francisco on Tuesday, the same day two other dead whales that washed up weeks apart were being buried nearby after neighbors complained of their rotting smell. The cetacean appears to be an adult gray whale, about 40 feet long, California Academy of Sciences spokeswoman Haley Bowling said. The whale could be the same one spotted floating offshore within the last two days, Bowling said. Scientists &om the academy were en route to the scene, but the whale could easily be carried out by the tide before researchers get a chance to examine it, she said. The Half Moon Bay whale showed up as crews in Pacifica were digging holes to bury two whales that washed up there over the previous month.

San BernardinoOKs bankruptcy plan SAN BERNARDINO The San Bernardino City C ouncil has voted for a bankruptcy exit plan that would slash retirees' health care coverage and contract

out forservices like fire and waste disposal. The Sun newspaper says the council voted 6-1 in favor ofthe plan on Monday night. The vote came after the city's administrators and advisersstrongly suggested passage to the council. And it came before a firm May 30 deadline to submit the roadmap — called a Plan of Adjustment — to U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The proposal made public last week would require the city to pay one percent of the $50 million owed to pension obligation bondholders. San Bernardino filed for bankruptcy protection in 2012. Creditors can still object to provisionsofthe plan and the city will keep negotiating with them.

Anti-Muslim film back on YouTube SAN FRANCISCO An anti-Muslim film that sparked violence in the Middle East and death threats to actors was reposted to YouTube on Tuesday, a day aftera federal appeals court ruled the website should not have been forced to take it dowil.

The roughly 14-minute trailer for "Innocence of Muslims" was reposted by a You Tube user. Y ou Tube is owned by Google, which declined comment.

M onday's court r u l i ng by an 11-judgepanel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals cleared the way for YouTube to remove filters blocking users from posting the clip on its site. The panel said a previous decision by a smaller group of judges from the same court ordering Google to take the film down gave "short shrift" to the First Amendment and constitut-

ed priorrestraint — a prohibitionon free speech before ittakes place. The smaller panel ordered YouTube to take the clip down last year in response to a copyright claim by an actress who appeared in the film. The film, however, could still be found elsewhere online. Actress Cindy Lee Garcia sought to have the clip removed from YouTube after receivingdeath threats.

Sanders, who f o unded KFC, will be played by "Saturday Night Live" alumnus D arrell Hammond in T V commercials. The real Colonel Harland Sanders died nearly 35 years ago, and KFC hasn't featured him in TV ads for about 20 years. KFC also plans to redesign its restaurants with light fixtures shaped like chicken buckets and quotes from ColonelSanders hanging on the wall. For customers that don' t know who Colonel Sanders is, KFC is giving them an online history lesson. At C olonelSanders.corn, t h e fastfood chain gives details about Colonel Sanders' past, including that he dropped out of school in the sixth grade. There's also a video game on the site featuring Sanders, who was born in 1890.

US debates trade deals with China WASHINGTON — If the U.S. doesn't write the rules of international trade, President

Barack Obama warns, China will. In fact, China is already helping write those rules, and in some ways has jumped ahead of the game. There's intense competition between the U.S. and China for economic influence in the world. As Obama seeks to persuade lawmakers to back his tradeagenda,hehas castthat competition as an economic

threat. 'Theyll write those rules in a way that gives Chinese workers and Chinese businesses the upper hand, and locks American-made goods out," the president said in Oregon this month. As a result, China's impact, both current and potential, is partly shaping the US. debate over whether Congress should grant Obama greater authority.

Under the state's rules, irrigated medians cannot be watered with potable water this year, as these medians are handled currently.

''We have never had an unbalanced budget in Tuolumne County," he said. "It doesn't happen." Pedro also discussed next year' s proposedcapitalbudget for projects at the Law and Justice Center off Old Wards Ferry Road. As it currently stands, the county would need to borrow up to $5.1 millionfor architecturalserviceson the proposed new jail as well as road work and installing the necessary infrastructuretoservethesite. Pedro said he believes that number will be reduced by at least $500,000 when the final budget is released in August, which includes final allocations I'rom the state and better estimates on revenues and expenses.

Money to balance the budget or reduce the projected amount of borrowing could come from pre-2004 mandate reimbursements that are included in Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed state budget. Pedro found out Tuesday after-

However, the balance will go to the General Fund and be used to reduce any borrowing for the new Jail and likewise minimize relateddebt service payments." Earlier in the meeting, the board approved year-end budget adjustments for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. The adjustments included about $743,000 in carryover funding earmarked for road maintenance and improvements, largely thanks to decreased spending on such projects over the past year and Congress's recent reauthorization of Secure Rural Schools funding for another two years. District 3 Supervisor Evan Royce asked whether the leftover money would be used on staffmg positions or capital projects. "I just want to make sure we' re not staffing positions with one-time fundsand leaving ourselvesin ahole for the following year," he said. Pedro responded that the money will be used to support a combination of"materials, projects and staffmg." County officials asked the board at Tuesday's meeting tosend a letter of support for Senate Bill 16, authored by state Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose,

that would provide up to $8 billion annually to cities and counties for road maintenance by increasing tax-

es and fees. Among other increases, the bill calls forraising the state'sgastaxby 10 centspergallon,dieselgastax by 12 cents per gallon and vehicle registration fee by $35 annually. Zeroemission vehicle owners would also be required topay a $100 annual fee. Community Resources Agency Director Bev Shane said the county has a $92 million unfunded road maintenance backlog, which is expected to grow to $319 million by 2034 at the county's current rate of funding. The county would need an additional $12 million per year over the next 20 years to fully address the backlog, she said. The bill would provide an estimated $3 million to the county per year. However, the board ultimately decidednot to send a letter ofsupport for Beall's bill, with Royce calling the legislation"offensive." "Each year, the state steals revenues that are already there and supposedto pay for these services," he said. 'There's no promise that these funds are going to even go to oui' roads.

the account until the child reaches the age of majority (usually 18 or 21, depending on the state). The downside is that once your grandchild reaches majority, he or she can use the money for any purpose. In addition, the account is consid-

ered the child's asset, which will significantly reduce eligibility for financial aid. Full-time students younger than age 24 pay no tax on the first $1,000 ofunearned income, and they pay the child's tax rate on the next $1,000. Earnings above $2,000 are taxed atthe trustee's marginal rate. • Pay off student loans. Encourage your grandchild to stick with federal loans, which are easy to get andhave more fi exible repayment terms than private loans, then help repaythe loans aftergraduation. This strategy won't affect the family's eligibility for financial aid. Loan payments on behalf of someone elseare considered taxable gifts; to avoid having to file a gift-tax return, limit your repayments to $14,000 a year(or$28,000 for a m arriedcouple).

JOBS R

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 h@uniondemocrat.corn

anwon ersw DEAR ANNIE: I recently dated a woman who never offered to pay for a meal, a movie or so much as an ice cream cone. We went out several

times. We' re both in our late 508 and earn

good incomes. She says she won't pay for things until she is in a committed relationship. I have no problem paying for anything that I invite her to. But she would suggest things for us to do and never ofFer to pay. What's the etiquette these days? —RON DEAR RON: This is often a generational issue. Women who were brought up to believe the man pays for everything sometimes have dif6culty sharing the costs. And some men resist it, as well. But women who feel uncomfortable paying half the tab in a restaurant can reciprocate by inviting the gtty over for a homecooked meal or getting tickets to a play or a concert. A woman who

refuses to make any effort in that direction is not playing fair. DEAR ANNIE: Last fall we had a baby girl, and at the last minute, I decided on the name "Jane." Unaware of this, my husband's cousin's wife commented that she had always loved the name "Jane"and that she and her husband had picked it out as the name they would someday give their child. Had I known this, I would have selecteda differentname formy child. Well, this cousin is now pregnant with a girl. And even though our child is named "Jane," they are planning to name theirs the same. I know I can' t tell them to change it because I had it first, but it still upsets my husband and me. I believe, out of respect, they

a e w on' s are a should pick a different name. AAer all, there were a lot of names I wanted, but they were already taken, so I chose something else. Am I wrong? How do I calm down about this? —I PICKED IT FIRST DEAR PICKED: No one has a monopoly on baby names, evea if you are close relatives. This cousin picked "Jane" independently of you. And you admit selecting "Jane" at the last minute. No one is intentionally trying to hurtsomeone else or deprive them of beingspecial.We agree that it is easier when close family members choose different names, but truly, it is not as important as you think. In fact, in some families, cousins are named after the same grandparent and carry the same name across generations. It is considered an honor. Here's how you calm down: Your child was born first.Peo-

pie already know her as "Jane." When the cousin's child is born, people will be iaclined to give her anickname in order to differentiate between the two babies. Adopting a lighthearted attitude about this will smooth everyone's ruffled feathers, including yours, and will allow your child and her newest cousin to become good friends. They will think having the same name is amazing and wonderfuL Please don't be so upset that you inadvertently teach them otherwise. Annie'8 MailbOX is Written by Kathy

Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

There alsoare surgical treatm ents, deep brain stimulation, gamma knife radiationand ultrasound forresistant cases. DEAR DR. ROACK I was diagnosedwith peripheral artery disease in 1991. What kind of test is recommended for checking up on this? Can it be cured? — J.C. ANSWER: "Peripheral artery disease"is the general term used for cholesterol plaques in the arteries, which can block blood flow. The most common symptom is pain with walking, usually after a specific exercise duration, which is relieved with rest. However, since these blockages can occur in any artery, PAD can cause many different symptoms, such as pain afar eating (when the blockages are in thearteriestothegut).The disease most commonly is diagnosed by noninvasive studies, like a Doppler ultrasoundofthe arteriesor using one

HORO SCOPE Birthday for May 21. Creative work pays well this year. Your communications skills are on fire. Record and publish. Disciplined collaborations go far. Proceed carefully through 6/14 (when Saturn is direct). Spark a revolution together after that. Transform your home after 10/13. Collaborative breakdowns reveal new directions. You can work it out. Grow your partnerships with love and compromise. 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 6 — You' re especially clever this month, with the Sun in Gemini. You can see the big picture. Give up something valuable for something better. Write, record and perform. Express the story. Group efforts bear fruit. Follow your grandmother's advice and win. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 7 — For the next month, with the Sun in Gemini, it's easier to make money. Invest in your own future. Cash flow improves. Don't over-extend. Prepare for an upcoming meeting. Opposites attract. Love's the game and the prize. Gemini (May 21June 20):Today isa 9 — You can accomplish the impossible. The Sun in your sign energizes you. You' re more confident for the next month. Put on your power suit and make things happen. Get into your groove. Close a deal or sign papers. Cancer (June 21 July 22):Today is a 7 — Finish old business over the next month, with the Sun in Gemini. Allow more time for introspection and spirituality. Take long walks. Study what you find fascinating. Your passion charms someone. Consider your next phase. Follow love. Leo(July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 7 — Participate with groups. You' re the life of the party this month, with the Sun in Gemini. Take action for your community. Share the load. Benefits come through social networking. Let a spiritual lesson sink in. It's all for love. Virgo (Aug.23-Sept. 22):Today is a 7 — Advance your

blood pressure cufF on the thigh and another on the arm. Sometimes, an angiogram is necessary. Sinceit'sreally thesame disease as coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease, people with PAD are at much higher risk for heart attack and stroke. Although we cannot, in general, cure PAD, we have many differentkinds of treatments to reduce riskofcatastrophic events and to improve symptoms.

Treatment starts with modifying existing risk factors, especially smoking, which is the most powerM modifiable risk. A proper diet that cuts down on excess unhealthy fats and simple sugars is important. A monitored exerciseprogram, gradually increasing in duration and intensity, can have a dramatic effect on function. Most people will benefit from statin drugs and anti-platelet drugs, such as aspirin. Readers may 1//ri te Dr. Roach, M.D.,

TOday in hiStOry Today is Wednesday, May 20, the 140th day of 2015. There are 225 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On May 20, 1915, Israeli soldier-statesman Moshe Dayan was born at Deganya Alef Kibbutz. On this date: In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act, which was intended to encourage settlements west of the Mississippi River by making federal land available for farming. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, New York, aboard the Spirit of St. Louis on his historic solo flight to France. In 1932, Amelia Earhart took off from Newfoundland to become the first woman to flysolo across the Atlantic. (Because of weather and equipment problems, Earhart set down in Northern Ireland instead of her intended destination, France.) In 1959, nearly 5,000 Japanese-Americans had their U.S. citizenships restored after choosing to renounce them during World War II. In 1961, a white mob attacked a busload of Freedom Riders in Montgomery, Alabama, prompting the federal government to send in U.S. marshals to restore order. In 1985, Radio Marti, operated by the U.S. government, began broadcasting; Cuba responded by attempting to jam its signal. In 1995, President Bill Clinton announced that the two-block stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House would be permanently closed to motor vehicles as a security measure.

In four hearts, South should realize that East is now out of spades. If East gains a ruff, that and the three missing aces will defeat the contract. The only way to avoid the spade ruff is for South to take his three club tricks, discarding his last spade on the third. Then he can overruff East. Against three no-trump, if West leads the spade jack, East must win and shift to a diamond; not easy to find.

a creditscore of at least600. If they are below that, they must either have a co-signer or pay a higher deposit. They must also show they earn at

least three times the amount of rent to qualify. With those standards, "you can almost qualify to buy a home," Daniels said. There are so many people looking for homes that Daniels hosts group showings at the properties. The homes most in-demand are three bedroom, two bath in the $700 to $800 price range, Daniels said. The average price range is from $995 to $1,200 for a three-bedroom home, said Shelly Ravelli, of Frontier. However, people's budgets are $600 to $800, said Michelle Rosano, of Step Up PropertyManagement in Sonora.

Daniels recently had a home open up that was three bedroom,two bath for $1,200, and shereceived five applications for it in the first week. "Just in th e l ast t hree weeks we' ve probably rented out 10 to 15 houses. As soon as we get them, we rent them

out," Rosano said. Rosano said most of their landlords aren't m a k ing much profit on their rentals. "Most want to cover their

mortgage. It's pretty much a wash a lot of times. It's just to get by, so they' re not spending out of their pocket," she said. Daniels said she has three open properties right now, lower than the usual six open properties at any given time.

The open properties range from a newer modular in La Grange for $750 on one acre of land with water included to a two-bedroom mobile home for $895 with water included. She also has a single family high-endhome worth about $800,000that is for rent for $2,800 in Apple Valley Ranches.

Daniels said she noticed the rental home shortage after Christmas, and in March, "it got really bad." Daniels attributes the lack of available rental homes to the increasein property values, which in some cases have prompted owners to sell the properties to people who plan to live in them. "Rentals that would normally be available are being taken 08' the market. I have two homes with renters mov-

ing out because the owners are selling," Daniels said. Broker Tracy Prevost of Mother Lode Property Management said their open inventory is f ou r h omes, compared with the usual midteens to 20 at any given time. They manage properties that range on average fiom

$800 to $1,800, and also manage high-end 3,000- and 4,000-square-foot homes that "not very many can afford." Prevost said the company has one home that is opening up in Copperopolis, and it already has a wait list of 20 people who want to look at it "the minute the current tenants are out."

"It's a beautiful home. I mean, itwould have had a lot of interest anyway, but it' s just nuts," Prevost said. At the end of last year, 36 percent of Americans rented. That's up fi'om 31 percent before the Great Recession,

Posey leads Giants past LA SAN FRANCISCO(AP) — Buster Posey drove in a run, Tim Hudson allowed five hits over 6 1l3 innings and the San Francisco Giants won their fourth straight, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-0 onTuesday night. Joe Panik and Angel Pagan had two hits each for the Giants, who have won 11 of their past 14 home games. Hudson (2-3) did not allow a run for the first time since his first start of the season on April 9. He walked two and struck out two. Carlos Frias (3-1) retired the first two batters of the third inning before consecutive singles from Panik, Pagan and Posey produced a run. The Giants' second run scored in the eighth inning on a wild pitch by Chris Hatcher.

Sergio Rorno, theGiants' fourth pitcher of the seventh inning, retired Howie Kendrick with the bases loaded to keep the shutoutintact.

Rorno got four outs and Santiago Casilla pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 12 chances.

Curry's daughter steals spotlight OAKLAND (AP)There's at least one person on the planet who can contain Stephen Curry: his daughter. Curry's 2-year-old daughter, Riley, stole the spotlight from the Golden State Warriors star and NBA MVP during his news conference after Tuesday night' s 110-106 victory over the Houston Rockets. She crawled through the table skirt before he picked her up and placed her on his lap. Riley waved to reporters and interrupted Curry a couple of times. At one point, she muttered a few words and Curry told her to "hold on a second, OK?" She replied, "Be quiet," drawing laughs from the room. Curry smiled and shook his head, telling reporters his daughter is usually more reserved.

Summerville senior Bryce Farrell capped off his outstanding four-year varsity baseball careerby being voted the Mother Lode League's Most Valuable Player. Farrell led the Bears to a 14-4 MLL record, which was one game good enough to earn the 2015 league championship. Farrell was notified of his accomplishment Monday afternoon. "I was really excited when I found out I was awarded the MVP of the Mother Lode League," Farrell said. '%hat we did this year was a team effort and we accomplished our goals. It is nice to get a recognition of my individual effort and how I contributed to the team. It is a huge honor to get this award anditfeelsgreat." Farrell is the ultimate team-player and constantly gives creht to his teamm ates before accepting any praise.It was no different when he was named MVP. "I'm happy to have gotten this award, of course, but this team was just so team orientated," Farrell said. "Baseball is such a team sport and it's really hard to give out individual awards like this.

"Larry is a great coach, and he is for a number of reasons," Summerville senior and MLL MVP Bryce Farrell said. "He doesn't think that he is better than his players. A lot of coaches think they have some sort of entitlement over their players justbecause they are older,and Coach Gold isn't that way. He will listen to new ideas and he is forgiving if you mess up and make a mental error, because he understands why you would do it.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Now that Patriots owner Robert Kraft is not appealing his team's punishments in the deflated footballs scandal, only his quarterback's challenge remains. Moments after Kraft said Tuesday he won't oppose the $1 million fine and loss of two draft choices the NFL penalized the team for its role in using underinflated footballs in the AFC championship game, the players'

union reasserted that Tom Brady's appeal will go forward. Brady, the MVP of February's Super Bowl and one of the league'sbiggest stars, has been suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season by the NFL.

And when they finally endedyearsoflottery futility, it came from the spot where nobody had been winning. The Timberwolves won the lottery Tuesday night, the first time since 2004 the team with the worst record earned the No. 1 pick. Afteryears ofbad luck, things finally worked out for the Wolves, who can perhaps choose between big men K a rl-Anthony Towns of Kentucky and Jahlil Okafor of national champion Duke to p ut next to Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins. "We' re in this for big stakes," said Flip Saunders,the Wolves'president and coach. "The big thing aboutthisis getting good talent that can blend together. This is another big step." The Los Angeles Lakers moved &om the fourth spot to second, keeping a pick they would have sent to Philadelphia if it fell outside the top five. The 76ersare third followed by the New York Knicks, who had the second-best odds of winning but instead fell to fourth 30 years after winning the first lottery and drafi ing HallofFamer Patrick Ewing. Not since Orlando won the right to pick Dwight Howard in 2004 had the NBA's ultimate game of chance came out in favor of the team with the best odds.

rell not collect a hit. He had nine multi-hit games, with a season-high four hits against Weston Ranch in a 16-12 win. "Bryce is always looking for his pitch," said Summerville head coach Larry Gold. "He isvery selective at reading pitches from the opposing pitcher. Ifhe ever gotdeep in the count, he knew he could change his approach and make adjustments on the fly. He was a very patient hitter."

Farrell spent time at third, short, and on the mound where he was 4-2 with one complete game. He struck out 31 in 42 innings. His fielding percentage was a solid .963. Farrell was a player that Gold could put in the lineup every game, and regardless of where he was playing, he would do whatever it took to help the team win. "He is a very dedicated," Gold said. "He loves play-

player. Bryce is a guy who is a four-yearvarsityplayer,and first team all league all four years. He was a great leader and we really relied on him to do it all for us. He is going to be missed next year." In a game where failing seven out of ten times at the plate makes you a great player, Farrell has learned more from baseball than any other sport. "I think baseball teaches you more about life than any othersport does,"Farrellsaid. 'You aregoing to face failure in baseball. Some players in football or basketball just have goodgames every time they play, and that never changes. In baseball, you are going to have games that are just really bad. You are going to get out five times in a row. That's just part of something in life that you just have to handle. There are going to be days in life where you go 0 for five, so to speak. No other sportteaches you failure the way baseball does. You need to take the little victories that you get, the 1 for 4 games, and you need to expound around them tobecome a better player. Baseball is an amazing sport for that and that is why I love it so much."
