November 9, 1935 - May 14, 2015 Shereth "Sherry"Seekell Galka, a A3 year resident of Sonora, lost her battle with cancer on Thursday evening, May 14, 2015 in Sonora, CA and entered intothe presence of our Lord.

She passed away at home with her family at age

79.

Sherry was born on N o v ember 9, 1935 in Detroit, M i c h igan to Sherwood Seekell and Ethel Schumacher. She married her beloved husband, Stuart "Stu" A. Galka in Gr and Rapids, Michigan in 1956. In 1965 they moved with their two children to California when Stu began a job as a pilot with Tr ans World A i r l i nes and is now a retired Captain. They settled in Sonora, CA in 1972, built a kennel and raised and raced Siberian Husky sled dogs for 20years. Once in Sonora, Sherry worked in the insurance industry and in 1990 began her own local insurance business: Galka and M i o tti I n surance Company.

Sherry shared a love of dogs and community service with her husband. In 1972, Sherry and Stu were two ofthe cofounders of the Sierra-Tuolumne

Kennel Club (STKC). Sherry served as the STKC Secretary/Treasurer, O bedience Chairman, Editor and Publisher of the monthly ST K C N ewsletter, and as a dog training instructor until her retirement from ST K C

in 2001.

S herry was both a Canine Good Citizen evaluator and a Therapy D o g s International (TDI) evaluator. Along with her husband, they have trained

and evaluated over 1,000 dogs and handlers. She established the local TDI chapter: Therapy D ogs of the Sierra, and coordinated regular TD I v i s its for the chapter since 1997 to local hospitals, preschools, hospices, rest homes, libraries, etc. The first TD I c e r t ified dog in Tuolumne County was their Golden Retriever, Shiloh. Sherry earned multiple TD I d e grees on her dogs for all the visits she did on a regular basis. Sherry's total TD I v i s its to these various facilities exceeds 4,000 personal visits and her Black Labrador Retriever Kallie holds the canine record in the county at over 1,500+ visits.

Her dedication to others inspired her to continue to make these visits to provide this loving comfort therapy to those in need even during her own cancer treatments.

She trained dogs and handlers forover 40 years. In 2001 Sherry and Stu started Mother L ode K9 Do g Tr aining (MLK9) in order to provide ongoing training classes to the community and nutr i t i onal products and information for dog owners. Sherry instituted the TD I T ail W a ggin' Tutors Literacy Program for Chil dren to provide an opportunity for children to improve their literacy skills by reading to dogs.

will observe Memorial Day, a day to honor the Americans who have died serving our country. A day when Americans show their respect for the resilient men and women who courageously fought to protect our &eedom.

May 25, 2015 marks the 65th anniversary of Memorial Day. While it has its roots in the Civil War, it wasn't until after World War I that the historical day of remembrance, or DecorationDay, was renamed Memorial Day and expanded to include American soldiers In December 2000, former President George W. Bush signed into law The National Mo-

to pause, wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation.

Although many communities unite to remember those who died in past wars, Americans will also reflect on the many brave men and women lost in recent conflicts. The U.S. Department of Defense reports 6,851 service members have fallen since 2001 during the ongoing military action in Afghanistan, and numerous other countries in the Middle East.

I hope that you will take a moment out of your weekend to pay tribute to these heroes, and as General Patton said, "thank God that such men lived."

California has lost many of its own in recent military actions. To view profiles of these soldiers, visit Freedom Remembered (httpJ/&eedomremembered.corn). This site is updated &equently and provides specific information about California service members who have been killed in U.S. military operations. It also provides information regarding service members lost in each branch of military service.

GUEST COLUMN

We needhousingandfood, notsilos To the Editor: While traveling to Spain I toured countless Cathedrals built centuries ago.

These churches are huge, unused today and represent massive wealth and misuse of funds which could have been used to build housing, procure food, etc. for their population.

Today, many countries for almost 70 years have built thousands of nuclear bombs for missiles to sit in silos, planes, and submarines.'

These instruments have prevented world wars but

not smaller and proxy wars around the globe.

Their excessive numbers have prevented many people from enjoying adequate housing and nutrition.

There appears to be no trajectory to stopping this massive waste.

Will it take until the next century to realize that these nuclear instruments are just as repulsive as the massive European churches built in the middle ages?

Waco biker violence scary, sophomoric Count me among those mystified over

the biker gang melee in Waco, Texasa shootout that left nine dead. Why are these guys committing grown-up violence over the seemingly adolescent concern of who belongs to their group and who doesn' t? Who are they?

For answers, I consulted James F. Quinn, a University of North Texas sociologist who has studied the Bandidos and other outlaw biker "clubs."

Many of the members came out of the military with skills of war and low tolerance for ordinary civilian life. They borrow their imagery &om the old Western outlaws, having traded horses for motorcycles. Billy the Kid would be a model biker.

They engage in drug trafficking, prostitution, extortion and the like. But so do cartels and other powerful organized crime syndicates.(Texas law enforcement considers the Bandidos a Tier 2 threat, with Tier 1 reserved for the cartels.)

But are these (mostly) white guys on Harleys making real money?

"A few people are making a very large sum of money," Quinn said, "and some peopleare just getting by." Some also have dayjobs.They run the gamut.

As most of us know, the outlaw bikers have little in common with the lawyer/ teacher/reti ree motorcyclists dressing the parton weekends. My only complaint on meeting many biker couples headed to the annual motorcycle rally

in Sturgis, South Dakota, was that they hogged the washing machines at Motel 6.

Some reports say the riot at the Twin Peakssportsbar started in a battle over a parking space. Others, an exchange of words in the men's room. Yet another, a "provocation" centered on the wearing of a Texas patch by members of the Cossacks, a gang rival to the Bandidos.

Quinn sees the explosion as the result of a two-year buildup of tensions between the gangs. ''When one club dominates an area, they don't want others coming through without their permission," Quinn said.

"They believe the other clubs should be subservient."

The Bandidos fancy they run Texas from the seats of their Harleys. A counter view is that Texas is run from skyscrapers in Dallas and Houston by men who drive Lexuses and Mercedes-Benzes.

In any case, men who join outlaw biker clubs are in it for more than the money. "A lot of it is about excitement, male camaraderie," Quinn said. 'They want to live in that masculine excitement. It's a hyper-excitement kind of atmosphere."

Women are not invited. Women are never members of a "1 percent club," a

DEPARTMENTHEADS

reference to the tiny percentage of motorcyclists not considered law-abiding citizens. Women are there to serve, which is why the Waco bikers gravitated to a Hooters clone restaurant, where the waitresses wear tops cut low and shorts cut high.

As for the violence in Waco, Quinn believes that even the bikers didn't foresee the enormity of what occurred. He hesitates to speculate on what will happen next. An amazing 170 arrestees are facing criminal charges, but not many of them are in jail.

"There are going to be a lot of funerals, people coming in from out of town," Quinn said, "but for the next few weeks, we' re going to see quiet because they know they are being watched."

What fascinates the outside world about these outlaw bikers is the extraor-

dinary energy they expend for a sense of belonging and a right to bully. Many comments following the Waco coverage ridiculed their hairy faces and paunchy middles.

In theend,oneobserves allthoseablebodied men looking for action and concludes: What a tremendous waste of all that manpower.

At 3.3 million years old, they push back the record of stonetools by about 700,000 years. More significantly, they are half-a-million years older than any known trace of our own branch of the evolutionary tree.

S cientists h av e lo n g thought that sharp-edged stone tools were made only by members of our branch, whose members are designated 'Homo," like our own species, Homo sapiens. That idea has been questioned, has examined some of the and the new finding is a big tools.

"It's awesome to have someone like Janice who' s willing to coordinate with all the vets," she said. "She's providing a service to the dogs, cats,livestock and people of Tuolumne County."

This year's series of clinics started Saturday at the Tuolumne County Humane Society shelter on Victoria Way, where 72 animals — 65 dogs and 7 cats — were vaccinated in the span of less than two hours by Dr. Wes Wittman, of Mono Way Veterinary Hospital.

Wittman has worked at the clinics with Sundborg since 1974, when he was a senior in high school.

"In a way, doing these clinics is a legacy to him," Wittman said.

Before dying of cancer in the 1970s, Smith asked Sundborg to ensure the clinics would continue in Tuolumne County for "as long as she could."

"He was wonderful to me,"

she said.'We just got to be verygood friends in the veterinary world."

Sundborg's love for animals dates back to her upbringing in the Fresno area.

Dr. Todd Stolp talks about his experiences working at a maternity hospital in Sierra Leone, Africa, where he spent six weeks screening pregnant women for the ebola virus.

Former health officer returns from Sierra Leone trip

By LACEY PETERSON The Union Democrat

Retired Tuolumne County Public Health Officer Dr. Todd Stolp has returned from six weeks in Sierra Leone, Africa, where he worked in a maternity hospital screening suspected ebolapatients.

Stolp, of Sonora, returned to the United States on April 19 and went through rigorous screening and isolation for three weeks in Atlanta before he was cleared to return home last week to his wife, Martha.

Stolp retired as county health officer and Emergency Medical Services medical director on Feb. 21 after 12 years in the position. He has been a physician in Tuolumne County for 32 years.

Stolp signed on with the philanthropic organization Partners in Health, based in Boston. He traveled to Boston the first week of March and had acouple days oftraining before embarking on the 36-hour trip to Sierra Leone, via Brussels, Senegal and Guinea.

For more than a year, Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone have expe-

rienced the largest and most complex outbreaks of ebola in history, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Outbreaks are continuing in Guinea and Sierra Leone.

However, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the end of the ebola outbreak in Liberia on May 9.

Ebola virusdisease is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. The virusis transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-tohuman transmission. The average fatality rate is 50 percent, though it has rangedfrom 25 to 90 percent,according to the WHO. The most com.f' mon way the virus was transmitted was through body fiuids. That own happened when people washed bodies ofloved ones beforeburial,Stolp said.

As of May 16, the total number of reported cases was 26,885, and more than 11,130 people have died from the disease in six countries — Liberia, Courtesy photoI Todd Stolp Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, the Stolp, pictured at the Princess U.S. and Mali.

In the maternity ward, medical providers had to wear three layers of gloves, versus two pairs in other wards, Stolp said.

When Stolp left for Africa, he wasn't sure where he and his cohort of 12 doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners from across the U.S. would be sent or what exactly they would be doing.

'The situation on the ground was changing rapidly. We were on the downswing of the outbreak," Stolp said Wednesday from his Sonora home.

Stolp said the stories he heard from native workers and patients about the height of the outbreak were unbelievable.

The bravery of the local and international health care workers who were there at the onset is remarkable, Stolp said.

He admires the African citizens as well.

'The smiles and the cheer they have eachday despite the challenges they faced is remarkable," Stolp said.

Stolp said he left Africa and returned to Dulles International Airport in Virginia, where he went through CDC testing and screening.

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

ea rien swon't u eoverreations i

with him. Well, we went to prom to-

gether and back to his house afterward, where we were alone. He started to put his hand up the back of my dress.

I didn't object because he was mostly stroking my back.

The next day, we went to his house to watch a movie, and he started jumping all over me. It made me uncomfortable, but I'm not good at communicating that,

Annie's Mailbox so I didn't say anything. I just didn't respond. Jake is also a sloppy kisser, and I'mnotsure Ican toleratethat.

Today real I ized that Ihave feelings foranother guy,and now I don't know whether I like him more than Jake. But if I break up with Jake, I will be booted out of our group, and I have no other friends.

I don't know what to do. I feel that Jake is pressuring me a little about sex, even though he hasn't actually demanded anything. Should I stay with him and see where it goes?

Should I wait until summer to end it so that the group will have time to adjust without making things superawkward? Or should I just end things now and face losing my friends?-

CONFUSED GIRL'S<:ND DEAR CONFUSED: You already know that you need to break up with Jake becaUse you don't actually like him and you feel pressured. We'd do it now, but if you would feel more comfortable waiting until school is out, that's OK, too.You and Jake might be able to drift apart more naturally then.

You might also confide in one of your friends that you and Jake don't seem to be hitting it off as well as you thought. If your friends drop you over this, they aren't truly friends. Real friends have your back DEAR ANNK: My girlfriend and I were planning to go away together for a weekendnext month while her daughter was staying with the ex. But the ex decided at the last minute to take his own vacation, so we have to bring her along or cancel.

If we cancel the reservation on the

hotel room, we lose the deposit, anII upgradingtotworooms isn'tpossible.Isit acceptablefor us to sleep in the same bed while her daughter is sleeping on a cot, or should we use separate beds?

Or should I try to get a room for myself elsewhere? — N.Y. DEAR NY.: How old is the girl?

How long have you and Mom been together?Ifyou and Mom are in a committed relationship, the girl knows you well and she is under the ageof6,you may share a room.

Mom and the daughter should take the bed. You get the cot. Otherwise, yes, please try to find another room foryourself.And thank you forcaring enough to do the right thing.

Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landerscolumn. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@ creators.corn, or write to: Annie's Mailbox, cloCreators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach,CA 90254.

Testing is the key to informed health decision DEAR DR ROACH: I am 71. I'm overweight at 300 pounds and have had Type 2diabetes for 15 years.I haven't had any chest pain or heart problems,but a recentnuclear stress testlead my doctortosuspectbuildup in one of my arteries, and he wants to do acardiaccatheterization.

I do not want to do this, partly because I feel that once you let doctors start messing with your body, you will only experience more problems (like a stent or something) and your life will never be the same. Is there anything else to clean the arteries? I don't want to ofFend the cardiologist, but I really do not want to do this.Am I completely wrong? — P.R.

DEAR ANNIE: I am 17 years old and still in high school. I recently became "Jake's" girl&iend. We' vebeen dating for about a week.

I' ve known Jake as a friend for a year, and we hang out with the same group.

I never had feelings for him until I learned that he liked me, and even then, my &iends kind of pushed me into the relati onship.

His last relationship didn't last long, partlybecause he and the girlhad sex right away. When Jake anII I started dating, I told him I am a religious girl and am not going to do sexual things

Today in history Today is Thursday, May 21, the 141 st day of 2015. There are 224 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On May 21, 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh landed his Spirit of St. Louis monoplane near Paris, completing the first solo airplane flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 33 1/2 hours.

On this date: In 1881, Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross.

In 1924, in a case that drew much notoriety, 14-year-old Bobby Franks was murdered in a "thrill killing" carried out by University of Chicago students Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb (Bobby's cousin).

In 1932, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean as she landed in Northern Ireland, about 15 hours after leaving Newfoundland.

In 1941, a German U-boat sank the American merchant steamship SS Robin Moor in the South Atlantic after the ship's passengers and crew were allowed to board lifeboats.

In 1945, actors Humphrey Bogart, 45, and Lauren Bacaii, 20, were married at Malabar Farm in Lucas, Ohio (it was his fourth marriage, her first, and would last until Bogart's death in 1957).

In 1972, Michelangelo's Pieta, on display at the Vatican, was damaged by a hammer-wielding man who shouted he was Jesus Christ.

In 1990, CBS aired the final episode of the sitcom "Newhart" in which it was revealed in the closing scene that the entire series about a Vermont innkeeper played

by Bob Newhart had been a dream of Bob Hartley, the psychologist played by Newhart in his previous show, "The Bob Newhart Show."

It is possible that clubs will be worth three tricks, but that is slightly against the odds. Instead, South should plan to ruff his last heart in the dummy.

But it requires careful timing.

Suppose declarer wins the first trick and returns a heart, West can take the trick and lead a third heart. Here, East overruffs the dummy, leads a club to his partner's ace, and ruffs another heart, which effects an uppercut. West gets two trump tricks for down two.

Instead, declarer should duck the first trick, win the second with his heart ace, and draw two rounds of trumps before ruffing his last heart in the dummy. Even if East could overruff, it would be with his natural trump trick.

Right-to4ie bill no longer

med grOuP The Los Angeles Times

The California Medical Association on Wednesday withdrew its opposition to a bill allowing physicians to prescribe lethal doses of drugs for terminally ill patients who want to hasten

their deaths, becoming the first such association in the nation to be neutral on an aid-in-dying bill.

Some physician groups remain opposed, but the opposition by the CMA had

The dishes she used to scrub after each familydinnsrpilsup by t hs sink. Ths hushand who sweetly called her his trophy wife cries alone in the room where he now sleeps. The 11-year-old son with big brown eyes who once cuddled on her lap now hardly comes near her.

She can't move. She can't talk. She can only blink her eyes.

Angie Bloomquist was diagnosed with amyotrophiclateral sclerosis less than two years ago.

Since then, the fatal illness known as Lou Gehrig's disease has shut down just about every muscle in her body. The toll on her family has been almost as devastating.

"It's like a tornado ripped through our home," Angie says. "And destroyed everything we built."

She speaks through a special computer that tracks her eye movement, a painstaking task that exhausts her after a few sentences.

been seen as a major obsta-

cle to winning approval of the measure by Democratic state Sens. Bill Monning of Carmel and Lois Wolk of Davis.

"The decision to participate in the End of Life Option Act is a very personal one between a doctor and their patient, which is why CMA has removed poli cy that outright objects to physicians aiding terminally ill patients in end-oflife options," said Luther F. Cobb, a physician and president of the CMA, in a statement. 'We believe it is up to the individual physician and their patient to decide voluntarily whether the End of Life Option Act is something in which they want to engage. Protecting that physician-patient relationship is essential."

Cobb said the association remains committed to patients getting the best healthcare possible, but added "despite the remarkable medical breakthroughs we' ve made and the world-dass hospice or palliative care we can provide, it isn't always enough."

Not all physicians agree with the CMA. The bill is still opposed by the Northern California Oncologists and the Medical Oncology Assn. of Southern California.

Angle's Story Angie Bloomquist, who suffers from ALS, wants to be able to die through doctor-prescribed medication. This month, she joined a lawsuit filed against the state that aims to protect physicians who administer lethal doses to mentally competent, terminally ill patients.

Still, in her final days, Angie finds herself pushing more than ever — for the choice to die through doctor-prescri bed medication.

Proponents know it as "aid in dying." Opponents call it assisted suicide. Since it was legalized in Oregon in 1994, there have been dozens of attempts to have similar versions approved in nearly 30 states. All have failed, except four: Washington, Vermont, Montana and New Mexico.

In California, the issue hasn't been brought before lawmakers or voters since 2007. This year, buoyed by the story of Brittany Maynard, who left her Bay Area home for Oregon to carry out her legallyassisted death,supporters have geared up for another try.

One bill is making its way through the Legislature. Recently, two lawsuits were also filed against the state aiming to legally protect physicians.

Angie, who says she knew long before she was diagnosed that she would want to hasten her deathifshe became severely incapacitated, joined one of those lawsuits this month.

"I know how I want to live and know that that life is no longer possible," she says. "The right to die should be my right."

Angie's symptoms began in early 2013, just before her 47th birthday.

The fingers on her right hand twitched and she had trouble typing. She became exhausted walking from the parking lot to her office at Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach, where she was a social worker. One day, leaving work, she inexplicably lost her balance and fell hard on a staircase.

that is no longer possible. 1he right to die should be my right."

Angie Bloomquist, ALSpatient

In August 2013, after months of tests, Angie and Fred,her husband of 15 years,got the diagnosis: She had ALS. "My heart sank and my body went cold," Angie says. "Life, as we knew it, ceased to exist."

The disease affects the brain and the spinal cord's nerve cells. It eventually paralyzes sufferers, while their minds almost always remain unaffected.

Angie's decision A photograph of Fred and Angie Bloomquist from the couple's earlier days sits on a desk inside their San Pedro home. "I' ve had some deliriously happy times in my marriage," Fred says.

"And I know that those moments, unlike the human body, are everlasting." (Katie Falkenberg / Los Angeles Times) About 30,000 Americans live with ALS. Half of them die within two to five years. Breathing gradually becomes more difficult, and often, patients suffocate. Cases like that of famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, who has lived with the disease for more than 50 years, are a rare exception.

Angie, ever the realist, immediately began planningforher death. She had spent 23 years as a socialworker, the last decade in hospitals watching children fight futile battles against ruthless diseases. She had guided families, preparing them for their child's death.

Now, the time had come to guide her own.

On a recent day, Angie rests in her usual spot in the family's television room. Fred walks through the 112-year-old Craftsman they share with their son, Andres, and their two dogs, Viejo and Peanut.

The sun is just about done setting over San Pedro. The jasmine climbing over the white picket fence Fred and Angie put up years ago fills their frontyard with a sweet scent.

Fred turns on the light in the first bedroom.

"This is where the magic happens," he says, in a not-so-funny tone. "Or at least, it used to."

Their former bedroom is now Angie's room. It has two twin beds: Angie's hospital bed and, next to it, a bed for her overnight caretaker.

The dresser is packed with a mix of medications, tubes, wipes, drops, syringes.

Fred widened doorways, built a side deck and a wheelchairramp and remodeled the bathroom to make room for a commode. Soon after Angie was diagnosed, he organized a ceremony to renew their vows. Beneath two white ash trees in their backyard, his wife giggled as he tried to ex-

ea t

plain, using the lyrics of his favorite love songs, how much he loved her.

"I' ve had some deliriously happy times in my marriage," he says. "And I know that those moments, unlike the human body, are everlasting."

Fred tries to be honest with Andres about what's happening to Angie. But the truth is, most days, they avoid the topic.

"I'm not really the talking type," Fred says.

He has to be strong for Angie — a woman who used to shush rowdy neighbors in her pajamas at 3 a.m. and throw bouncy castle parties for twentysomething 5-year-olds. When he cries, he cries alone in his room, off the kitchen.

That's the thing about losing the girl of your dreams. Day in, day out, it hurts like hell.

"I'm not going to reduce her to a few fanciful stories," Fred says."She was too vast, too great.

She was a tidal wave."

The Bloomquists thought of going to Oregon, but qualifying for the law could take months.

Angie also considered refusing food and slowly drifting to her death through sedation, but that' s not how she wants to go.

The lawsuit is being handled by attorney Kathryn Tucker, executive director of the L.A.-based Disability Rights Legal Center, who's overseen these kinds of cases on a national level for years.

Proponentsare ready to go to the ballot in 2016 if the pending legislation fails. Tucker believes a court decision is the best way for California to win approval. She's had recent success with similar lawsuits in Montana and New Mexicoand has another one pending in New York.

Despite the traction supporters have gotten recently, the issue faces great opposition. Doctors, Catholic leaders and some disability rights advocates object on ethical, religious and medical grounds (the California Medical Association withdrew its opposition Wednesday. See story, this page).

"If assisted suicide is approved, it would result in many lives ending without their consent," said Marilyn Golden, senior policy analyst with the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund. "No safeguards have ever been enacted or proposed that can prevent that outcome, which can never be undone."

Golden says combining a profit-hungry healthcare system with assisted suicide could result in patients being denied care and steered toward dying. Heirs and caregivers could also become abusive, and mentally ill or suicidal patients who are not terminal would have few safeguards to protect them from killing themselves.

Tucker says if the lawsuit succeeds, those safeguards — such as requiring a physician' s second opinion and judging mental competence — would beleftfor doctors to decide.

As for Angie, attorneys say they plan to lobby the court for a special permission to help her die as soon as possible — at her home, with her family by her side. She entered hospice care recently and may nothave more than a few months to live.

H arper, who hi t 1 0 homers in his previous 12 games, was batting with two outs in the third when Adam Warren's first pitch of the at-batwas called a strikeby plate umpire Marvin Hudson.

Harper stepped out of the batter'sbox, leading to an animated back-andforth with Hudson.

Harper w a s t o ssed, bringing Williams o ut of the dugout. Williams moved Harper aside and began arguing with Hudson, getting kicked out, too. Williams then went over and kicked dirt on home plate — one swipe with each foot.

Dodgers LHPRyu likely out for season SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers left-handerHyun- Jin Ryu will undergo surgery on his troublesome throwing shoulder Thursday and is not expected to return

The team made the announcement Wednesday before a game against the San Francisco Giants. The arthroscopic surgery will be performed by orthopedist Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles.

Manager Don Mattingly doesn't know a timetable for Ryu's recovery but said he did not believe it would be before the 2016 season.

The Dodgers expected to havea better idea after the procedure.

Ryu, who had been the team's projected No. 3 starter,has not pitched this season because of inflammation. A n d r ew Friedman, the Dodgers' presidentof baseball operations, had said Tuesday that surgery was an option given Ryu hasn' t responded to prolonged rest.

Commissioner

Roger

Goodellsaid both countries have reached out a bout hosting games, and there is "renewed interest" among the owners. The league is intent on expanding its international series, and it will have three games in London this season for the second straight year.

Arizona hosted San Francisco in Mexico City in 2005, drawing a record crowd of 103,467 for a regular-season game.

There have been five preseason matches played in Germany, none since 1994.

Goodell also says Rio de Janeiro has shown interest in staging a Pro Bowl.

The commissioner cites the "passionfor our game

and taking it to another level" for the league pursuing more international matches.

There is speculation that any gamein Mexico would be playedin Monterrey or Guadalajara, not Mexico City. Aztecaisthebiggeststadium in the country.

However, the iconic ballpark that has hosted two World Cups needs major renovations to bring it closer to the level of the newest stadiums in Mexico such as Omnilife in Guadalajara, or the new BBVA Stadium in

sion the NFL might return to Mexico.

In recent months, Mexico City's government has made strongefforts to attract major international events. For-

mula 1 will be coming back for the first time in 23 years, and last November the NBA held the second regular-season game in history in the country when the Timberwolves faced the Rockets.

"We already have great events in Mexico City. We have Formula 1, the NBA, the UFC, we' re trying to Monterrey. bring a NHL game also, and Monterrey hosted an NFL we are also looking to bring Major League Baseball," said preseason game in 1996.

But no one should rule out Horacio De la Vega, the dithe capital city. rectorofMe xicoCity'sSports Last November, Mexico Institute.

Kephart faces a deadline to presentcertain "deliverables" to Oakland officials.

D avis shouldn't hold h i s breath. Read the fine print.

All that Kephart must do by June 21 is produce a "market feasibility study." He does not have to produce a financing plan or reveal his money sources until Aug. 21.

And who knows where the Los Angeles proposals might stand by then?

News that former 49ers executive Carmen Policy is now working with the Chargers and Raiders on their Southern California game plan is not necessarily a positive sign for Los Angeles interests. Policy is smart and smooth. But he's failed in his

a plan, Grubman said: "I' ve heard thatfor three or four years and it hasn't been produced. The time has shrunk and no results have been produced."

As readers of this column are well aware, I have relentlessly pounded the drum on the reality that Oakland must make a tough choice and pick one pro &anchise to try to satisfy with a new venue — either the Raiders or A' s. I am more convinced of that than ever. There's nothing wrong with being unable to afford both teams. It will just take a grown-up person to say so publicly. Perhaps that grown-up will be Oakland MayorLibby Schaaf.

One big reason that just

No one in Oakland should expect empathy or patience from Eric Grubman, the NFL executive tasked with overseeing the Los Angeles stadium landscape as well as issues in the East Bay. Grubman held court by a Ritz elevator Wednesday. In a grim assessment of the Oakland

fied: Both the Raiders and A' s want rights to the property on which the current Coliseum

riors would like Thompson to force Harden right more, and Thompson believes he could've gotten abetter contest on those series of rhythm jumpers. But in the end, Harden was taking the shots the Warriors will live with.

Harden normally breaks down a defense by getting to the &ee throw line, putting key players in foul trouble while racking up points. But Harden, the NBA leader in iree throw attempts, only shot six fee throws on Tuesday — well shy of the 10.1 he's averaging in the playotfs. The Warriors can l ive with Harden ~ a se ries of tough shots, especially because Thompson even considers that failure.

"Some of them, those stepbacks," Thompson said, "I could've done a better job making him go to the rim and try to finish over our length. Other than that, just hope it doesn' t go in, honestly."

Where Harden hurt Thompson the most was on the other

end of the court. Thompson m ade just a third of his 18 shots, finishing with 15 points.

He was 1 of 7 from 3-point range. He was bent on driving to the basket, which is better than him forcing bad shots, but he missed a ton of layups that could've improved the Warriors cushion.

Is thisthe byproduct of Thompson defending Harden?

Is hetoodrained,hisfocustoo consumed,tobereliedupon for offense? If so, that presents an interesting quandary for the Warriors.

Either that puts added emphasis on another player picking up Thompson's scoring slack, or someone else — who isnotasreliedupon forscoring — needs to defend Harden.

the teams should consider other options aren't grasping the point: If the city is asking the teams to put up hundreds of millions of dollars toward a stadium project, those teams have the right to ask for what they want. The city can then acceptor reject those terms.

Eitheris acceptable,depending on the taxpayers' desires.

Limbo doesn't work. Limbo is where we continue to be. And the biggest message from the NFL to Oakland this week was: No more limbo.

Also, no more diddly.

THINGS WE L

SPEED FREAKS 3 questions we had to ask —ourselves

D

AT THE ALL-STAR RACE

Can Kyle Busch last 600 miles Sunday?

ROB'S RAMBLINGS: If he stays out of the wall, I like his chances of excelling for 600 miles.

KEN'S CALL: Probably,

Why the worried look?

Assuming you watched some or all of Saturday night's show at Charlotte, I'm surprised that question

but the occasional use of cruise control would come in handy about 9

has been floated. It was only (only?) four 25-lap segments followed by a

p.m.

10-lapper that featured less passing than the Army-Navy game. Let's just say we' re not filled with high hopes for Sunday night's 600 miles.

We saw the All-Star race, will it be 600

boring miles?

What can be done?

ROB'S RAMBLINGS: I'm yawning just thinking about it. Come on, 600 miles with little passing?

KEN'S CALL: I'm guessing about 500 tedious miles, but the other 100 should make it worth the view.

Which owner do you like for an IndyCharlotte double?

ROB'S RAMBLINGS: Roger Penske all the way. How about Helio

Right about now, not much, unless NASCAR starts offering hard cash for green-flag lead changes. The car out front, because of current aerodynamic trends, is practically guaranteed to stay out front. So if you' re a fan of late-race pit stops and tire

strategy, you' ve gotta love the current racing at the 1.5-mile tracks.

What shouldIdo Sunday?

AssociatedPress/CHRIS KEANE

Some questioned if Kyle Busch was risking his long-term health by coming back too soon from injuries suffered Feb. 21 in Daytona. He looked in good form at the All-Star race.

Castroneves and Brad

1. Back in the saddle

2. The exacta king

3. A cool million

Keselowski?

KEN'S CALL: Roger Penske, with Will Power and Brad Keselowski visiting each Victory Lane.

Kyle Busch saw competition on the track for the first time since breaking his right leg and left foot in the XFINITY

Kevin Harvick finished second — again. Just go ahead and pencil him in for first or second in the rest of the races. This time, he started 20th — that's right, dead last in the field on a track where it's tough to pass. If not for a slight miscue in the closing

NASCAR's current rules package has made Charlotte the

race at Daytona on Feb. 21.

If there were any questions about how he would perform in his return, he answered them with a sixth-place finish and could be a factor in Sunday night's 600-miler.

tion, pomp and circumstance), the first few laps of Indy, then check in a few times until those final laps. Then later, hope for the best from Charlotte. You never know.

Who's singing at Indy?

A local Hoosier group (Straight No Chaser) will try to fill Jim Nabors' shoes, and while it' ll likely be good, it' ll surely be different.

FEUD OF THEWEEK

KURT BUSCH

For Jeff Gordon's likely last Coca-Cola 600, we' ll all be thinking the same thing: 1994. Gordon collected his first Cup win in the 600-miler as a 22-year-old. With his fourth-place run Saturday, we' ll all be thinking — is this the week?

2. Don't forget the other Busch Kyle Busch's return may have been the talk before the All-Star race; Kurt was the talk afterward.

Kurt finished third after starting 16th but may have had the strongest car, and that should bode well for the 600-miler.

V.' I

WHAT'S ON TAP

3. Harvick, again?

It's hard not to mention Kevin Harvick, since he keeps finishing in the top two. After Saturday night's performance — yes, another second — it' s hard not to focus on him again this week for the 600.

— RebUffery/robert.ullery.news-irnl.corn

DENNY HAMLIN

KURT BUSCHVS. DENNYHAMLIN: Kurt (and Kevin Harvick) claimed Hamlin jumped the last restart in the All-Star race.

KEN WILLIS' TAKE:"All's fair in love, war and restarts. Unless NASCAR catches you, of course."

AssociatedPress/CHRIS KEANE

Come on, admit it: You want to see Jeff Gordon win in his final season.

And what better place than Charlotte, where he got his first Cup victory?

DID YOU KNOW? Jeff Gordon will be making his final start in the CocaCola 600. Come to think of it, yes, you already knew that. But did you know in his first Coke 600 start, in 1993, he finished second to Dale Earnhardt. The Earnhardt-Gordon rivalry dominated the rest of the decade but in the '93 race, the lntimidator led 152 laps (Gordon led three) and won by three-plus seconds.
