TuolumneCoun, Sheriff 's depu prevail in Manteca pastor's lawsuit

By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

A jury in Fresno has ruled in favor of a Tuolumne County SheriiFs deputy in a lawsuit filed by a Manteca pastor stemming from a 2011 arrest.

It took the eight-member jury about two hours on May 7 to unanimously

decide that SherifFs Deputy David Vasquez had not used excessive force in arresting Michael Dillman and his son, Stephen, while the men were 6shing at Donnells Reservoir on Sept. 18, 2011.

"I think this decision really supported the department," said Deputy County Counsel Christopher Schmidt. "It was important to show that the county didn't do anything wrong here."

The Dillmans claimed in their lawsuit — originally filed against the county,Vasquez and various jail deputies — that the Sheri6"s 015ce personnel violated their rights and used excessive forceduring and afterthearrest.

According to court documents, Brian Whitmer, an employee of Tri-Dam Project — whichoperates the reservoircalled the Sheri6's 015ce on Sept. 18, 2011,after observing two people via video surveillance on the reservoir in a Tri-Dam maintenance boat.

Dillman, a pastor at the Place of Refuge, formerly the First Assembly of God Church, traveled to Donnells &om Manteca to go 6shing with his son after a Sunday service, according to the lawsuit. They attached their own motor to an unmarked, 13-foot aluminium boat moored at the reservoir, the documents stated.

Court records said the men claimed that it was custom practice for 6sher-

men to use one of the moored aluminum

boats at the reservoir. Sheriff's 015ce The lawsuit was moved to the U.S. oi5cials have said in the past that the District Court in Fresno at the request boat was at the center of multiple ar- of the defendants in March 2013. restssince 2010 because itwas often According to records, U.S. District used illegally.

Darnel Cleveland

Sonora Ambulance Co. pioneer dies

By LYDIA BROWNING The Union Democrat

Daryl Cleveland, 65, a pioneer in the development of Tuolumne County ambulanceservices,died May 13 at the home ofTami and Tysen Blank, of Rosalia, Washington.

Mr. Cleveland was born July 11, 1949, in Pasco, Washington, and moved toSpokane in 1956. He graduated &om West Valley High School, in Yakima, Washington, and attended Walla Walla University.

During the Vietnam War, Mr. Cleveland was trained by the U.S. Army as a paramedic.

Working in Santa Barbara and Modesto as a paramedic, he learned there was a need for paramedic services in Tuolumne County &om fellow paramedic Dana Solomon.

Passionate about patient care, Mr. Cleveland came to Tuolumne County in 1976 to become partners with Solomon, the original owner of the

Sonora Ambulance Company.

At that time, ambulance companies had to compete for funding in order to stay in business, said Bill Caldera, a paramedicand chiefoper-

"I k new D aryl & o m Modesto as a hard working man and an excellent medic," said Solomon.

It was an expensive operation to run, and it wasn't easy to make ends meet, said Caldera. Mr. Cleveland and his coworkers worked very hard

sole owner of the company in 1979.

He "did developmental work in the medical field as well as trained people for emergency response and did fundraising and campaigning for the company," said Hart Drobish, of Columbia, a former Sonora Ambulance employee.

"Daryl was thorough as a training ofFicer and taught the younger generation well," Caldera said. "He could calm anyone down with his loving and caringpersonality."

Mr. Cleveland was also known as "Safety Dog," because of his concern for keep-

ing everyone near him safe at all times, Hart said.

He had a big heart, said Caldera, and often hosted those in need in his own home.

The older generation was a large portion of the community served by the company, and Mr. Cleveland strongly believedthey deserved respect, said Caldera.

"Most of all, I will rememto make the company a success. ber Daryl for his excellent 'The county was, and is, bedside manners," Caldera very fortunate to have the said. "He knew how to come best of the best," Solomon into a chaotic situation and SBld. put everyone at ease."

Mr. Cleveland became the Mr. Cleveland's motto as a

leader was, "Go out there and do it right. If you don' t, we' ll be talking," Caldera said with a laugh.

Mr. Cleveland owned the ambulance company until 1985. Tuolumne County took over ambulance operations

as part of its Human Services department in 1986, and dailyoperations arenow directed

by Manteca District Ambulance Service.

Because of Mr. Cleveland's hard work and pioneer at-

titudefor developing the Sonora Ambulance Company, residents of Tuolumne County can expect a quality ambulance with top-notch patient care and service, said Caldera.

"He was more than willing to give an opinion, regardless of who was in the room. While this worked good and bad for him, asa pioneer he made a legacy," Caldera added.

Mr. Cleveland is survived by his brother, Dale Cleveland, of Sagle, Idaho; his sister,Teri Boyatt,ofRiverside; two daughters, Lisa Leno, of Spangle, Washington, and Tanu Blank, of Rosalia, Washington; two nieces; three nephews; and three grandchildren.

Daryl's wife, Beth, preceded him in death in 2012.

State eyes nation's strongest equal pay law for women SACRAMENTO (AP) — California's state Senate on Monday advanced what proponents called the nation's strongest law designed to make sure women are paid equally for the work they perform.

Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, said her bill goes beyond federal anti-discrimination law in trying to narrow a wage gap that saw California women paid an averageof84 centsfor every dollarmen were paid in 2013.

Hispanic women in California were paid 44 cents for every dollar paid white men, "the biggest wage gap for Latina women in the entire country," she said, citing Equal Rights Advocates, a San Francisco-based civil rights organization that is promoting the legislation.

"It is critical that women be paid fairly and equally for the work they do," she said.

Under Jackson's bill, employers would have to demonstrate that any wage differences between male and female

employeesare based on reasonable job-related considerations and not merely on gender.

The bill would allow workers to allege pay discrimination based on the wages that the company pays to other employees atdifFerent locations.They could also base challenges on wages the company pays to other employees who do substantially similar work. It would also bar companies from retaliating against employees who discuss or ask about pay at work.

The Senateapproved SB358 on a 38-0 vote,sending itto the Assembly.

To understand our "ditch system" is to understand the central role these Gold Rush-era water systems played in building the wealth of the nation, the water-wealth of California,how it enabled sustainable agriculture for over 100 years and contributes to our quality of life today.

In all respects the ditch system was, and still is, a working and living landscape with both "consumptive" and "nonconsumptive" uses. Consumptive use is our domestic water supply that responded to the last 35 years of growth. Nonconsumptive use is all the rest — the accumulation of the tan-

'~ '

B~b~g

gible and intangible benefits and potential future benefit "offstream" like water storage, hydropower and fire flow. Elevation changes, building in mountainous terrain, and dis-economy of scale have made domestic water costly and inefficient.

The nonconsumptive side uses 100 percent green energy.

These uses include recreation, fish and wildlife — all beneficial uses under the California Water Code Section 12401244.

Significantly, ditch systems are recognized in the 2014 California Water Plan: Regional Reports Volume 2 — Mountain Counties Area as having: Living history; Recreational opportunities; Wetlands and water quality enhancement; Cultural significance; Wildlife, terrestrial, and aquatic species habitats; Groundwater recharge; Fire protection; Stormwater collection; Aesthetic values; Economic asset from agricult ure; Infrastructure asset;Hydroenergy generation; Remote storage;Heritage tourism; Water delivery during power outages; Contribution to unique quality of life.

The ditch system is our green infrastructure whose nonconsumptive benefits and potential role to mitigate the effects of drought have not been fully realized. Likewise, the anticipated tree mortality, increase in fire danger, bug infestation, wells going dry, even our ability to get fire insurance have not been assessed once the riparian ecosystem collapses in our backyards. The public benefits, if removed or destroyed, could create a brown beltbig enough to see on Google maps. Cal Fire recognizes these Green Infrastructures, defined in their Fire Resource and Assessment Program Report (FRAP) as .... landscapes which provide economic, social, cultural, and environmental services such as recreation, open space,watersheds,wildlife habitat,viewsheds, and working landscapes....

The argument that the ditch system is "man-made" and therefore has no environmental value does not consider the fact that Pinecrest and Phoenix are man-made reservoirs and part of the same system.

In fact, the majority of California's water features have either been manipulated or engineered to work together with our creeks and rivers, hence, Fish and Wildlife stocking the main canal with trout and Placer County Water Agency using their canal water to augment the flow in Miner's and Secret Ravines for salmon benefit.

Itcan be argued that water "loss"can also be viewed as "gain." Loss can be offset by the benefits from ground-water recharge, wetlands and open-space mitigation, carbon sequestration and climate mitigation. Municipal water is lost once it's discharged into the ocean. Groundwater recharge is a "gain" for us and downstream beneficiaries.

Even without the added stress of the drought, our county needs to secure a new source of reliable water through regional partnerships: not just for future growth, but for the citizens who live here now. While conservation is good, prolonged rationing will take its toll on people, animals and our quality of life. Sadly, the same old "solutions" are brought out of the barn like tired old horses — drill more wells, raise Lyons Dam and pipe the ditches. All these sound easy, but if they were easy, they'd be done. The reality is, each one of these "solutions" is not black and white, carries a heRy price tag, will have financial and environmental consequences, will not bring substantial new water into the system and in the end,may backfire on our ability to attractpeople here.

Now is the time for long-term thinking. State Water Bond funding is targeting millions of dollars towards projects with multiple benefits... what the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) calls the "co-equal goals" — water for people and the environment. Of the 7.5 billion in Prop 1 bond money, 20 percent or $1.495 billion is going towards protecting and restoring watersheds. It would not be a stretch to restore the ditch system. We should be asking ourselves how to diversify our water portfolio with projects that keep the water in our county for economic, social and environmental benefits.

It wouldalso be wise tohave a healthy distrust for reactionary fixes based on calculations and assumptions that cut out those who have the longest history of use and stewardship — agriculture. Our ditch system is a cornerstone asset, it is part of our public trust which we steward and bequeath to the future. Let's find water solutions that truly protect the numerous assets the ditch contributes to our quality of life. Let's fix the bad leaks for sure, but in a way that retains its value as a living landscape with co-equal goals.

GUEST COLUMN

N/ill governor bow to anti-vaxxers?

Now that the state Senate has generally ignored the loud, repeated and unscientific outcries of anti-vaccination crusaders, it's likely the Assembly will fall into line this summer and pass a law eliminating religious belief as an excuse for not getting children inoculated before they enroll in public schools.

But will Gov. Jerry Brown sign this strong new bill in the face of claims by anti-vaxxers that it interferes with their freedom tomake medical decisions for their children?

This question rises naturally from the message Brown appended to his signature in 2012, the last time a strong vaccination measure reached his desk.

That law requires parents not vaccinating their kids to produce evidence they have been briefed on the possible consequencesby a me dicalprofessionalbefore making their decision.

It aims to reduce the numbers of children not protected against onetime scourges like measles, mumps, rubella, polio, smallpox, pertussis and other potentially deadly or debilitating diseases that until a few years ago had been virtually eradicated from the civilized world by vaccinations.

But Brown — fully aware that no organized religion, not even Christian Science, has taken a stance against vaccinations — nevertheless wrote this after his

signature: "I will direct the Department (of Public Health) to allow for a separate religious exemption on the form...in this way, people whose religious beliefs preclude vaccinations will not be required to seek a health practitioner's signature."

So Brown, known for decades for occasional inconsistencies, signed a bill requiring contact with health personnel before parents could enroll any unvaccinated child in school, but then gave them

show vaccinations are linked to autism.

mand the law" and that he "believes that vaccinations are profoundly important and a major public health benefit...we' ve taken into account fundamental First Amendment religious &eedoms through an extremely narrow exemption."

Actually, the exemption — in the form of a box on a school enrollment form that any parent can check off without having to prove either religious involvement or belief — is wide enough to drive a truck through.

It is onepossiblereason forthewhoopingcough outbreak of2014 and themeasles upsurge of last February, although no one has tracked down the original patientswho spread those diseases, so no one can be absolutely certain.

But the simple reality is this: Parents who claim individual freedom to make decisions for their children are simultaneously trampling on the rights of many thousands of children whose medical conditions preclude them &om getting vaccinated. What about their freedom from unnecessary dangers?

"We' ve examined the religious freedom issue," says Democratic state Sen. Richard Pan ofSacramento, a pediatrician and the Legislature's only medical doctor, the new bill's co-author. 'The courts say vaccines are not a First Amendment issue and are within the authority of statesto impose. We do provide options, too. We demand that parents who refuse

Not only was the research methodology shown to be invalid, but that so-called study's author later recanted.

This doesn't stop anti-vaxxers, who turned out in large, loud numbers for state Senate hearings and likely will for upcoming discussions in the Assembly.

The plaintiffs' options include appealing the case to the Supreme Court.

"In terms of appeals, we are at the end of the line," Augustine said. 'We can ask the Supreme Court to hear our case, but the court can decide not to."

Multiple Rim Fire recovery stakeholders, including Tuolumne County counsel, the American Forest Resource Council, Sierra Pacific Industries and Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions, have allied with the Forest Service to oppose the legal action.

Logging in the forest's Rim Fire burn area continued Tuesday and is expected to continue through Oct. 31, 2016, Drake said. The Forest Service has approval to log more than 17,300 acres of the burn inside Stanislaus Forest boundaries, Drake said.

The plaintiffs' legal challenges started in September 2014, Drake said.

"Obviously we are pleased the court ruled in our favor," Drake said. 'The plaintiffs just wanted a preliminary injunction until their

case can be heard. At this rate, the work could be done before their case can be heard."

Judges with the Ninth Circuit in their fourpage decision filed Tuesday listed several reasons for siding with the Forest Service.

• "Plaintiffs have not established a likelihood of success on the merits of their claims

under the National Environmental Policy Act," the judges wrote.

• "The Environmental Impact Statement and RecordofDecision adequately incorporated the2014 owl occupancy survey results by explaining that the Forest Service had re-established six protected activity centers where the surveys detected owl presence," the judges wrote.

• The Forest Service also adequately addressed the scientific literature on owl occupancy in post-fire, high-severity burn habitat," the judges wrote.

John Buckley with the Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center applauded the federal court's decision.

"CSERC sided with the Forest Service and industry groups in support of the Rim Fire salvage logging plan, because we believe that the Forest Service adequately

considered logging impacts," Buckley said.

"Our Center has worked to protect the California spotted owl and other at-risk wildlife speciesform orethan two decades,so we clearly understand that important need," Buckley said. "But leaving vast areas in the Rim Fire blanketed with dead trees would create an enormous amount of woody fuel that could result in another devastating wildfire."

The Forest Service plan keeps logging out of known, core spotted owl habitat areas, and allows salvage logging in surrounding areas, a fair middle ground between wood production and wildlife protection, Buckley said.

"I am glad that the Ninth Circuit court affirmed the Forest Service logging plan," Buckley said.

The Rim Fire burned more than 400 square miles, including portions of the Stanislaus National Forest and Yosemite National Park, between August and October 2013. According to the Forest Service, more than 80 percent of the

Stanislaus Forest did not burn and remains vulnerableto bark beetle infestation, tree mortality, drought and competition for scarce water.

Tuolumne County Economic Development Director Larry Cope said the success of a person doing direct sales depends on the person, the product and how receptive or saturated the market is.

The economic benefit of the industry is mainly the salesperson's' commission, which gets fed into the local economy through goods and services purchased by that person, Cope said.

Taste of Calaveras winners announced The Angels Camp Business Association hosted its ninth annual Taste of Calaveras April 26 at CAMPS Restaurant at G reenhorn Creek in Angels Camp.

The event coordinator s teamed up with local win-

per-

cent commissions on the $5 to $100 products. However, a person could host one party and it would typically cover the cost of the kit, Bloom said.

Bloom said when she started, she was the only consultant in the county, and now thereare fi ve in the two-county region.

Bloom said she started selling the products for the discount. She works at Sonora Regional Medical Center and isn't looking to leave her job. She said the extra money came in handy when her husband' s industry slowed during the recession.

Comcast had no comment when contacted by the AP forthisstory.

All of the media executives have tried, with varying degrees of success, to maximize the value of their

are in the same league.

Six of the 10 highest-paid CEOs last year worked in the media industry, according to a study carried out by executive compensation data firmEquilar and The Associated Press.

The best-paid chief executive of a large American company was David Zaslav, head of Discovery Communications, the pay-TV channel operator that is home to "Shark Week." His total compensation more than quadrupled to $156.1 million in 2014 after he extended his contract.

Les Moonves, of CBS, held on to second place in the rankings, despite a drop in pay from ayear earlier.His pay package totaled $54.4 million.

The remainingfour CEOs, from entertainment giants Viacom, Walt Disney, Comcast and Time Warner, have ranked among the nation's highest-paidexecutives for at least fouryears,according to the Equilar/AP pay study.

One reason for the high level of pay in the industry is that its CEOs are dealing with well-paid individuals.

"The talent, the actors and directors and writers, they' re being paid a lot of money," said Steven Kaplan, a professor of finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. "In industries where the talent makes a lot of money, the CEO makes a lot of money as well."

Pay packages for CEOs overall grew for the fifth straight year in 2014, driven by a rising stock market that pushed up the value of executive stock awards. Median

that (compensation) was going in the same direction," said Bess Joffe, managing directorof corporate governance at TIAA-CREF, an asset management company.

"We would also expect, in a downturn, for the compensation numbers to fall."

The gap between pay for CEOs and that of the average worker narrowed slightly last year, because average wages crept up more than CEO pay did.

A chief executive made about 205 times the aver-

age worker's wage, compared with 257 times the year before, according to AP calculations using earnings statistics from The Labor Department.That gap was still much wider than six years before, during the recession, when executives

E s founded Microsoft, is challenged by some.

"There ar e su p erstar CEOs that definitely are the driving force of the company, but while they are out there, they are rare," said Charles Elson, a corporate governance expert at the University of Delaware.

Elson says that boards should look at overall levels of pay within their own company, rather than benchmarking pay against CEOs working in the same industry. He also says companies are paying too much to retain theirchief executives when there is little evidence they' ll move to competitors.

For the annual CEO pay study, Equilar assessed data from 338 companies that filed proxy statements with regulators between Jan. 1 and April 30, 2015. To calculate a CEO's pay package, Equilar and the AP looked at salary, stock and option awards, perks and bonuses.

The study only includes chief executives who have been at the helm of their company for at least two years. Because of these cri-

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 Ouniondemocrat.corn

i in s'res ansi ii DEAR ANNK: My father recently passed away. Dad was helping to support my 43-year-old brother, "Ben," who suffers from depression and is on disability. Ben doesn't work and spends a great deal of time in bed or buying liquor and lottery tickets. He's always just a little bit out of it, and I think his antidepressants, along with his alcohol and drug use, have exacerbated the problem.He's been under psychiatric care for 20 years, but he is still drowning in his depression. He recently completed his second college degree and is sending out resumes, but we aren't too optimistic. He has never held a real job.

Ben does not pay any bills, nor does he do much around the house to make up for it. My sisters occasionally clean the house, and my sister-in-law cuts his grass. Afterward, they scream at the rest of us about all the work they do without our help.

There are six siblings. The house is in four of our names, but no one wants

Annie's

~ I Mailbox it. There is a life insurance policy and a will that divides everything equally, but Ben'8 share is controlled by one sis-

ter who oversees his expenditures.

Are we supposed to use the money Rom the will to keep Ben in the house?

Is this our moral responsibility? Would it be better to sell the house and move Ben into an apartment that's more manageable? None of us wants to pay out of our own pockets for repairs. Do we support Ben until the money runs out and the house falls apart? I don' t want to be greedy, but I also don' t want to be foolish. All we do is argue about this. Any suggestions? —BEN'S BROTHER DEAR BROTHER: You do have a moral obligation to help your

But it also seems that his current medication and therapy are not helping, and it may be time to get a second opinion about his medical care. Also, it could be more practical to sell the house and move Ben into a place that is less expensive to maintain so that his share of the money lasts longer. This will become a bigger issue as the house becomes more dilapidated.

Since youand your siblings are arguing aboutthis,we urge you to speak to an experienced estate lawyer,who can discuss the various ways to deal with Ben and mediate whatever decisions you make. You all seem like caring siblings. Please don't let this create an estrangement.

In 1941, the British Royal Navy sank the German battleship Bismarck off France, with a loss of some 2,000 lives, three days after the Bismarck sank the HMS Hood.

In 1942, Navy Cook 3rd Class Doris "Doric" Miller became the first AfricanAmerican to receive the Navy Cross for his "extraordinary courage and disregard for his own personal safety" during Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.

In 1962, a dump fire in Centralia, Pennsylvania, ignited a blaze in underground coal deposits that continues to burn this day.

In 1995, actor Christopher Reeve was left paralyzed when he was thrown from his horse during a jumping event in Charlottesville, Virginia.

North 05-27 - 15 4 K98 6 5 3

By PHILLIP ALDER Dorothy Dix, the pseudonym of journalist Elizabeth Meriwether Gilrne, who died i n 1951, said, "There isn't a single human b eing who hasn't plenty to cry over, and the trick is to make the laughs outweigh the tears."

At the bridge table, if one side is laughing, the other is usually crying. Today's deal occurred during a pairs event, where overtricks were important because each score was compared with the other pairs holding the same cards.

How should South try for the maximum in this deal? He is in four spades, and West

North used a transfer bid to show fiveplus spades and at least zero points. South, with a maximum, four-card spade support and a doubleton, jumped to three spadesOpening lead:Y Q this is known as a superaccept. North, who had been undecided between inviting and insisting on garn, now had no qualms in bidding four spades.

South saw four losers: one spade and three clubs. If he had immediately led a trump, the defenders surely would have taken those tricks.

Instead, declarer had to try to jettison those club losers. He won the first trick, cashed dummy's diamond queen (the honor from the shorter hand first), played a diamond to his ace, discarded a club on the diamond king, and, because it could not cost, pitched another club on the diamond jack. If it had been ruffed with a low spade, South would have broken even. Here, though, East had to ruff with his spade ace, so the contract made with an overtrick for a tied top.

Union Democrat reports

The Sonora Bass Anglers fishing club held its special two-day tournament earlier this month.

Aside from being the longest lasting tournament, it's also the longest road trip.

Josh Parris, fishing without a partner, took the lead on the first day and held on to defeat 16 other teams May 12 and 13 at Clearlake.

Parris weighed in a massive five fish limit on Day 1 that totaled 27.93 pounds. His second day weight was half that, 13.52 pounds, but was enough to win the event with 41.45

BRIEFS Kaepernick sorry for Houston storm post SANTA CLARA (AP) — 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has apologized for a post on social media Tuesday that referenced flo o d-ravaged Houston, where San Francisco opens the preseason Aug. 15.

Kaepernick had posted on Twitter and Instagram earlier Tuesday a photo of submerged cars and this message: "I warned you the ¹7torms Coming !!! ¹Houston. K aepernick's jersey number is 7.

Houston and Central Texas are dealing with a severe storm that included 11 inches of rain overnight.

Kaepernick later made a follow-uppost reading, "No disrespect intended!

Prayers up!" before issuing a statement.

He wrote: "I'm so sorry

about my insensitive post earlier today. I didn't fully understand how m any people are struggling in Houston right now and I feel horrible. My prayers are with everyone there."

Rangers rip Lightning 7-3, force Game7 TAMPA, Fla. (AP)Derek Brassard had a hat trick and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 36 shots in another season-saving performance as the New York Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Lightning7-3 Tuesday night to force Game 7 in the Eastern

3ames, Cavaliers sweep Hawks, reach NBA Finals CLEVELAND (AP) The championship LeBron James craves more than any

other, the one he came back home to get, is within reach.

The Cavaliers are in the NBA Finals.

James scored 23 points, Kyrie Irving provided a boost after missing two games and Cleveland reserved a spot in the finals with a 118-88victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night to win the Eastern Conference title.

By sweeping the t opseeded Hawks, the Cavs earned theirsecond trip to the finals, where they will face either Golden State or Houston starting June 4.

It will be the fifth straight visit to the league's showcase event for the inimitable James, who returned to Cleveland after four years in Miami to try and end this city's championship drought dating to 1964. The Cavs are four wins from doing it, and if they can, James will have a title that would put him in a class by himself. Other players have won m ore championships, but n one has ever done it for his ringstarved home region. ' Vile have everything i t

takes to win," James said after the Cavs were presented with the conference trophy.

However, they' ve got their eyes on another one.

"Cleveland," owner Dan Gibert said, addressing the

crowd. "We' re not settling for this."

Jeff Teague scored 17 and Paul Millsap 16 for Atlanta, which won a team-record 60 games during the regular season and made the conference finals for the first time since 1970. But the Hawks were no match for the Cavaliers and had no answer for James, who nearly averaged a triple-double in the four games.

J .R. Smith a dded 1 8 points and Tristan Thompson had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Cavs, who were handed new caps and T-shirts following the win and were joined by family members on the floor to celebrate.

But unlike 2007, when James ran into center Zydrunas Ilgauskas' arms at the finalhorn, he was very

business-like after the clock hit zero.

Standing at center court, he turned to Smith and reminded him there was work still undone.

"Four more," James said.

It was a tough way for the Hawks to end a remarkable season. They survived a tumultuous offseason, and

their young roster gelled in January when they became the first franchise to go 17-0 in a calendar month. They went on to win 19 straight, improved their record by 22 wins over last season and beat Brooklyn and Washing-

ton to make their first conference finals since 1994.

But an injury to starting

forward Thabo Sefolosha in April was followed by DeMarre Carroll injuring his knee in the series opener, before Kyle Korver's season ended in Game 2 withan ankle injury.

Those all hurt, but it was James who inflicted the most pain.

James carried the Cavs to their first finals appearance

eight years ago, when they were swept by San Antonio.

Cleveland was a heavy underdog then and it was assumed the Cavs would get back again. But James left in 2010 to join the Heat, a move thatdropped the Cavaliers from relevance and into thedraft lottery four straight years. But those days are over — Cleveland and King James reign supreme in the East.

The Cavs got through the last two rounds without forward Kevin Love, who sustained a season-ending shoulder injury. His arrival last summer, joining James and Irving to form a Big 3, made Cleveland the team to beat in the East.

It didn'tgo exactly as planned under firstyear coach David Blatt, who left his family in Israel to take the Cavs' job.

'We' re in C l eveland," Blatt cracked. "Nothing is easy here."

Germany stars left off roster vs Americans F RANKFURT, G e r many (AP) — Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, forward Thomas Mueller and midfielder Toni Kroos have been left off Germany's roster for

n ex t m o n th's

exhibition game against the United States and a European Championship qualifier against Gibraltar.

The trio of World Cup champions are being rested after a busy season, coach Joachim Loew said Monday. Loew also said Neuer has several injuries that need treatment.

Defender Be n e dikt Hoewedes will miss the June 10 game against the Americans in Cologne because of an ankle injury.

Forwards Marco Reus and Julian Draxler are on call following injury-plagued seasons.

The team was being extra cautious, and Curry wasn' t

pushing anything — they all agreed he was OK to go back in. Curry's father was in the area. Co-owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber were there, too.

Curry looked, sounded and tested fine Monday night and there were no indications about any further problems, Myers said Tuesday, before the Warriorsdeparted their hotel to fly back to the Bay Area.

"At the very, very end, when he passed the tests, then it became 'there's no reason he couldn't play,' " Myers said.

"So then it was, he passed

And promptlyfi red up an airb all.

"He shoots an airball," Myers said, shaking his head.

"I thought ... anybody who' s p layed basketball, if y o u haven't shot for an hour or warmed up ...

"It'd be one thing if he' d went out there at halftime and warmed up and then did that. But he hadn't touched the ball, he hadn't shot the ball, he'd been sitting down forthe most part."

Then Curry got back into rhythm — he made a few quick d r ibble-drives and passes, then he made a couple of3-pointersto easewhatever remaining anxiety Warriors managementmight have had.

On Tuesday, both Myers and coach Steve Kerr were beyond certain that all proper precautions had been taken and they had zero doubts about putting Curry back in — for what turned out to be a Game 4 loss to extend the series to Game 5 tonight at Oracle Arena.

But after the airball ... yes, the Warriors were happy to

contribute after sitting out so

"He had a couple nice passes before that where you saw him explode into the lane and throw some nice passes," Myers said. "Just to see that, the agility was there, I don't think he had any turnovers, which was good.

"I didn't see anything uncharacteristic besides shooting an airball, he doesn't usually do that."

To sum up the Warriors'

M yers said Curry h a d passed the initial concussion tests even before the GM got to the locker room.

From there, it was a matter of repeatingthe process and then deciding the practical timing of it.

"It was just more about Steph and then being very careful torepeatalltheprocedures," Myers said. "We made sure it wasn't just done one time. Which is all you' re really required to do. So that's why it took so long because everybody wanted to be extra cautious about it and sure, like we would with any player. We wanted to make sure it was the right thing. So they even did a couple of extra things, as far as I understand, like running up and down just to make sure that he was OKa Curry was out for about 50 minutes of real time.

The Warriors had a big deficit when he left and a big one when he came back — was it practical to put him back at

long?

"That's a d i fferent call from the doctors; that's more a call with him," Myers said.

"So making that decision, if he's going to play, you don' t want to sit for an hour, because there's no basketball hoop back there or anything.

There's no way he can warm up. Then you make that decision, if you' re going to play and youpassed all the tests, then try it now."

I asked Myers if he understoodthe reasoning of those who immediately questioned the Warriors' decision to put Curry back in, especially with the heightened awareness of the potential long-term damage head injuries can cause.

"That's why you have to do your job, you have to let your doctorsdo theirjobs separate from what might be going on around you," Myers said. "The Ii s done a greatjob of establishing concussion protocols and you follow them. That's all you can do. You' re not making up your own rules."

stance on Curry's return:

They' re adamant that they would never risk Curry's health.

"He looked like himself after that one shot," Kerr said Tuesday.

Kerr, in fact, essentially brushed off questions about the process — once Curry came back, Kerr put him back into the game and then never took him out again.

"I asked him a couple times if he was OK, he said yeah," Kerr said. "As long as Steph says he's good to go and the doctors tell me he's cleared, I'm going to listen to that.
