Lake Don Pedro Community Services District officials have scheduled a Water Conservation Update meeting tonight in La Grange. The meeting is intended to update people on the status of a declared drought-related water supply emergency, review the status of emergency water supply projects, and clarify Lake Don Pedro CSD's current water conservation requirements, district staff said in an announcement. Public comments and questions will be encouraged. Lake Don Pedro Community Services District relies on water from Lake McClure, one of theemptiest reservoirs in the state, to meet the needs of about 3,200 people in the La Grange-Coulterville area. In March,due to ongoing drought and the declining amount of water in McClure, the

pared with their usage in 2014. In May, the districtboard amended water-conservation measures to allow for limited outside irrigation. On Monday, district General Manager Pete Kampa said the district's pumps floating on McClure could be shut off as early as mid-August due to federal requirements for minimum pool and outflow releases for fish downstream in the lower Merced River. Kampa and Lake Don Pedro CSD staff are trying toexpedite grant applications and construction of four emergency wells and a water treatment plant to have alternative

sources up and running before the district's McClure water is shut off McClure is operated byMerced Irrigation District. The meeting this evening is scheduled at 6 p.m. at Don Pedro High School, 3090 Merced Falls Road.

Retiring Columbia Elementary Superintendent John Pendley's decision, reported last Thursday, to continue working with the district as a "consultant" was disappointing but hardly surprising. Pendley, according to the one-year contract, which could be renewed up to three years, is going to "mentor" incoming Superintendent/Principal Craig Bowden starting July 1. Something positive we can say: At least Columbia's Board of Trustees and Pendley himself are consistent. For four years now, we' ve seen how Columbia officials regularly put their own interests and those of their inner-circle first — maybe followed by what is best for the school's staff, kids,or,in thiscase,taxpayers. Worth re-mentioning are the well-documented troubles endured by the district when Pendley gave his unqualified son Brennan a job as an after-school aide (recap: the younger Pendley, 23 at the time, was unsupervised and sexually preyedon an eighth-grade student;the elderPendley urged staffersto write letters defending him; the district paid a $100,000legal settlement to the girlto settle claims ofsex abuse and defamation). Then, more recently, there was the decision by someonestill undetermined — allowing board member Laura Phelan's son, Brandon Phelan, to "volunteer" on campus while serving probation.* Yes, there must always be something coming back for the elites at Columbia when decisions are made. For the superfluous "service" Pendley will now provide, he will get to keep $9,000 worth of health benefits — allowing the early retiree to collect his generous pension while maintaining his insurance until Medicare kicks in. Pendley will also get reimbursed for "work-related" expenses — which are ill defined in the agreement. This contract was presented at a board meeting last week as an almost selfless act by Pendley, who in May initially was offered the health-plan extension gratis by the board through 2018. Pendley said he wouldn't feel right about just accepting the generous benefit offered to him by his doting board without giving something in return. It'sa nice gesture.Yet,thegreatestgiftPendley could give the district is leaving quietly. Bowden, by all appearances, in an educated and experienced administrator who is certainly capable of doing the job himself. At most, maybe give him a few weeks of assistance. What he certainly does not need is up to three years' worth of indoctrination into the unprofessional and underhanded ways of Columbia's ruling class. More than anything, Columbia needs is a fresh start. * The Union Democrat two weeks ago requested under the state Public Records Act the following Rom Columbia: "Documents related to work — paid or otherwise — performed on campus by Brandon Phelan. This would include but is not limited to time cards, written instructions, job applications, LiveScan records, background screening documents, and correspondence between board members, administrators, and people working externally with the school, including the county probation department." Columbia officials this week replied that "the district possesses no such documents."

This is either a lie (it would not be the first) or an admissionthat the districtdoes notscreen or discusspeople who are volunteering on campus (also believable).

Then, "shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech &om a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock," according to the Times. This isn't an obvious case of influence massaging, but nor does it seem necessary to say, "Follow the money." Such complex relationships involving Hillary Clinton, her family's charitable foundation, hundreds of millions in feesand donations, a former president, asecretary of state and a possible next-president — all embodied in just two people who happen to be married to each other — are certainly enough toattract a reporter's attention and a voter's skepticism. Never mind the 30,000 emails Hillary Clinton deleted from the personal server she used while leading the State Department. With only Bill Clinton responding to questions — and polls showing Clinton's trustworthiness in decline — Democrats have cause for concern. Yet again, it seems that Bill Clinton only makes things worse when he tries to help his wife. "Has anybody proved that we did anything objectionable?" he asked during a recent Bloomberg News interview. Well, no, but citing an absence of proof is an odd way of asserting one's ethical purity. It sounds perhaps too defensive — and is legal-speak by someone who knows how to operate just inside the margins of error.

Monster owes Beastie Boys 668K in legal fees after trial

Elks to host steak dinner

NEW YORK (AP) — The maker of the MonsterEnergy drink must pay $668,000 of theBeastie Boys'legalfees after the rappers chose to win at all costs in their copyright violation trial, a decision that resulted in a $1.7 million jury verdict in their favor, a judge says. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer wrote in a ruling Monday that his review of the band's legal bills suggests that the "BeastieBoys opted to pay for,and received, the 'Cadillac Escalade,' not the 'Honda Civic"' of legal representation. He said his attorney fee award fell well short of the $2.4 million in legal fees that was sought from the Corona, Californiabased Monster Energy Co., but it was still sizeable enough that the band will come out ahead bymore than $532,000 above itsreasonable costs. Last June, the Beastie Boys — known in part for the anthem "(You Gotta) Fight for

Engelmayer wrote that t h e l awsuit brought by two surviving Beastie Boys and thewife ofdeceased band member and gravellyvoiced rapper Adam "MCA" Yauch resulted in a hard-fought legal match. "Presiding over trial and hearing the surviving Beastie Boys' testimony, it was apparent to the court that this case had great personal significance to them," he said."Monster's commercial exploitation of the band's music and songs, and what the BeastieBoys perceived as Monster's crass misappropriation of the name of the recently deceased Yauch in its video promoting its energydrinks,appeared to have deeply offended plaintiffs." Yauch died of cancer in May 2012 at age 47.

THE UNIONDEMOCRAT

rni er ee a eon co a se i s BERKELEY (AP) — A 21st-birthday party thrown by a group of visiting Irish collegestudents turned tragic early Tuesday when the fifl h-floor balcony they were crammed onto collapsed with a sharp crack, spilling them about 50 feet onto the pavement. Six people were killed and sevenseriously injured. Police and fire and building officials were working to figure out why the small balcony broke loose from the stucco apartment house

a couple of blocks from the campus of the University of California, Berkeley. But one structuralengineer said it mayhave been overloaded if, as city officials said, it was holding 13 people. High school student Jason Biswas' family nearby was awakened by the noise. "They thought there was an earthquake, but then we

looked out the window and saw seven or eight people on the ground," the 16-yearold said. "There were piles of blood everywhere." Five of the dead were 21-year-olds &om Ireland

landed on the fourth-floor balcony just beneath it, leaving the pavement strewn with rubble and the red plastic cups that are practically standardatcollege parties. The U.S. government's J-1 program brings 100,000 c ollege students t o t h i s country every year, many of them landingjobs atresorts, summer camps and other attractions. The San Francisco Bay area is especially popular with Irish students, about 700 of whom are working and playing here this summer, according to Ireland's Consul General Philip Grant. Many work at Fisherman's Wharf and othertourist sites. Sinead LoRus, 21, who attends Trinity College Dublin and is living this summer in a diflerent apartment in Berkeley, said Berkeley is ''the Irish hub." In fact, she

who were in the country on

so-calledJ-1 visas that enable young people to work and travel in the U.S. over the summer, while the sixth victim was from California, authorities said. The accident brought an outpouring of grief in Ireland &om the prime minister on down, with the country's consul general in San Francisco calling it a "national tragedy." Police had gotten a complaint about a loud party in the apartment about an hour before the accident but had not yet arrived when the metal-rail balcony gave way just after 12:30 a.m., spokesman Byron White said. It

said, "I' ve heard people complain there are too many peoplefrom Ireland here." Investigators will look at such things as whether the balcony was built to code, whether it was overloaded and whether rain or other weather weakened it, said Kevin Moore, chairman of the s t r uctural

s t a ndards

committee of the Structural Engineers Association of California. On Tuesday afternoon, engineering crews were inspecting jagged broken beams of wood sticking from the building, marking where the balcony had snapped off. Pieces ofwo od came away, falling to the ground, as the engineers touched them. Berkeley officials said the building code would have required the b alcony to hold at least 60 pounds per square foot.

Concealed weapons arguments heard SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — There is no evidence that crime goes up in places where concealed weapons permits are issued more &eely, an attorney told a federal appeals court on Tuesday. Paul Clement represents San Diego County residents who were denied a permit by the sheriff on the grounds that they had failed to show good cause beyond self-defense. The self-defense standard should be sufficient, and asking for more violates the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, Clement told the 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The panel will decide the long-runnmg court battle that could dramatically loosen restrictionson carrymg concealed fire-

arms in California. "The one thing I don't think it can be is that you only get to show good cause if you show you have a better reason for the firearm than your fellow citizen when it comes to self-defense," Clement said.

California Solicitor General Edward DuMont said there was a long and rich tradition of restricting concealed weapons in cities and towns. "The 2ndAmendment does not confer a right to concealed carry of handguns, especially in cities and towns," he said. A smaller 9th Circuit panel sided with gun-rights advocates in a 2-1 decision last year, saying requiring applicants to show they were in immediate danger or otherwise had a "good cause"for a permit beyond selfdefensewas too restrictive. California officials sought to intervene in the case after the San Diego sheriff declined to appeal. California generallyprohibits people from carrying handguns in public without a concealed-weapons permit. To get the permit, state law requires applicants to show good moral character, have good cause and take a training course.

It's largely up to the state's sheriffs and police chiefs to determine what constitutes"good cause." In San Diego, the sheriff required supporting documents such as restraining orders,according to court

documents. Judge Consuelo Maria Callahan questioned why the panel should allow the state to intervene in the case

after it failed to do so earlier. "No one seems to want to weigh in on these political issues as it were," she said. "Why isn't it too late?" DuMont said the case has broad implications for the entire state that didn't seem to be at stake when the case was being considered by a lower court. California officials say loosening concealed weapons permitting standards and allowing more people to carry guns threatens law enforcement officials and endangers the public.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's military will add over 40 new intercontinental ballistic missiles this year alone that are capable of piercing any missile defenses, President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday in a blunt reminder of the nation's nuclear might amid tensions with the West over Ukraine. Putin spoke at the opening of an arms show at a shooting range in Alabino just west of Moscow, a huge display intended to showcase Russia's resurgent military. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg accused the Russians of "nuclear saberrattling," and said that was one of the reasons the western military alliance has been beefi ng up itsability to defend its members.

Dolezal resigned as the leader ofthe NAACPs Spokane, Washington, branch afterquestions surfaced about her racial identity.

this type of change. Millions of Americans changed racial or ethnic identities between the 2000 and 2010 censuses, even though their choices may have contradicted what their skin color appeared to be, or who their parents said they are. "It forces us to really question whether or not this biological basis for identity is a smart path to continue down in the future," said Camille Gear Rich, a University of Southern California law and sociol ogy professor who writes about elective racechoices. Americans have become comfortable with people self-identifying their race, Rich said, "but often that invocation of identity based on a biological claim isn't backed up by anything else after the claim is made."

BEIRUT (AP) — For more than a year, the Syrian town of Tal Abyad on the Turkish border provided a lifeline for the Islamic State group, allowing it to ferry foreign fighters to its self-proclaimed capital of Raqqa and sell oil on the black market. The loss of the town to the Kurds on Tuesday is a huge setbackdirectly affecting the extremistgroup's operation-

al structure and its ability to wage war, making it more difficult to attract volunteers and potentially turning the tide against the militants in Syria and Iraq. It marked a significant reversalof fortunes for the group that only last month generated alarm through its lightning capture of the provincial capital of Ramadi in Iraq's Anbar province and the historic town of Palmyra in central Syria. "It shows that the Islamic State group is weaker than it seems despite their earlier victories," said Wladimir van Wilgenburg, a political

analyst who writes for The Jamestown Foundation, a U.S.-based research center. Analysts said the fall of Tal Abyad is potentially the most damaging loss for the Islamic State group — known by the acronyms ISIS or ISIL in English and Daesh in Arabic — since it declared its selfstyled caliphate stretching across northern Syria and a thirdofIraq ayear ago. While losing the town of Kobani to the Kurdish fighters of the People's Protection Units, or YPG, in January was a symbolic blow to IS, the defeat in Tal Abyad presents a real setback that may leadtoaseriousdegrading of the group's operations. Many had predicted a long, drawn-out war with the YPG before the militants would relinquish their hold on Tal Abyad — if at all. Only 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Raqqa, the town was a major commercial avenue for the group, a smugglinghub for everything from foreign fighters

CAIRO (AP) — A U.S. airstrike has killed al-Qaida's second-most-powerful figure, the head of its Yemeni branch, dealing the terror network its biggest blow since the killing of Osama bin Laden at a time when it is vying with the Islamic State group for the mantle of global jihad. Nasir al-Wahishi was the latest in a series of senior figures &om al-Qaida's powerful Yemeni branch eliminated by U.S. drone attacks over the past five months, including itstop ideologue and a senior military commander. The U.S. has intensified its campaign, trying to push back the group as it hascaptured new territory inYemen by taking advantage of the southern Arabian nation's chronic chaos. In confirming the killing of al-Wahishi in a June 9 drone attack, the White House said Tuesday that his death "removes from the battlefield an experienced terroris t leader and brings us closer to degrading and ultimately defeatingthese groups." The U.S. activity against al-Qaida has not been limited to Yemen. Over the weekend, a U.S. airstrike in Libya targeted an al-Qaida-linked militant commander, Mokhtar Belmokhtar, who led a 2013 attack on an Algerian gas complex that killed 35 hostages, including several Americans.U.S. officials are still trying to confirm whether he was killed in the raid.

However, Bill Roggio, senior fellow at the Defense of Democracies think tank and managing editor of the Long War Journal, which chronicles the U.S. war on terror, predicted the impact would be limited to the short-term morale of the group's fighters and would not hurt its strength and strategy. "The group will move on," Roggio said. "If you had a singlestrike that decapitated senior leaders and chopped off the top leaving it headless, then I would say fighters will look for a more organized group. But this was not the case. They were killed over time." A senior operative in Yemen's al-Qaida affiliate eulogized al-Wahishi in a video statement released online Tuesday and said his deputy, Qassim al-Raimi, had been tapped to replace him. "Our Muslim nation, one of your heroes and masters has departed to God," Khaled Batarfi said of al-Wahishi's killing in the southern Yemeni port city of Mukalla, which alQaida captured in April.

301 Employment

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.

time, stop reacting. These childish people enjoy getting a rise out of you. Ignore the beeping. Wave hello when you see them. Be as friendly as you were before. Wear earplugs at night. Give them no reason to derive satisfaction from taunting you. We hope they grow up soon. D EAR ~ : How d o y ou tell someone that the way she chews gum is exasperating? She chews with her mouth open and makes horrible chomping, slurping noises.— FEELING ANNOYED DEAR ANNOYED: Theses types of problems are never easy. You have to be willing to tell your friend that her gum chewing is difficult to witness because of the noise and open-mouth visuals. If you can say that nicely, she may try to alter her behavior; however, it is probably ingrained and will take repeated reminders. Your other options are

to avoid her when she's chewing gum or tolerate the annoyance because you value enough other things about her to make up for it. Ann Landers once printed a little ditty on the subject, which has often been credited to Ogden Nash: The gum-chewing student And the cud-chewing cow Look quite alike, but they' re different somehow. And what is the difference? I see it all now, It's the intelligent look On the face of the cow. Annie's Mailbox ts written by Kathy

Discuss possible drug interactions with doctor DEAR DR. ROACH: My doctor has had me on gemfibrozil, simvastatin and metoprolol for more than

6ve years. My pharmacist called the other day saying that new studies are out and that gem6brozil and simvastatin should not be taken together. My doctor has never mentioned it. Should I be concerned? — S.F.W. ANSWER: Yes, there is a potential forincreased toxicity of the simvastatin when taking gemfibrozil at the same time, and it isn't recommended. I certainly would recommend that you discuss it with your doctor. Gemfibrozil, a fibric acid derivative that lowers triglycerides, is not used very often anymore, although there are some situations in which it makes sense. If someone needs a statin and also needs further lowering of triglycerides, most experts use fenofibrate (Tricor). Triglycerides can be elevated &om excess carbohydrate intake, so a careful diet that minimizes simple sugarsmight help.I rarely prescribe either gemfibrozil or fenofibrate. DEAR DR. ROACH:My wife was

into the liver, which can cause dilation in other veins, especially those in the esophagus.Ifthese dilated veins rupture, they cause a life-threatening bleed, so banding is one way of preventing this dreaded complication. Low platelets are common in people with liver cirrhosis. Fortunately, these usually need treatment only during bleeding events or if a surgery or procedure is planned, in which case the goal usually is over 50,000. However, surgery is quite risky in people with cirrhosis, and it should never be undertaken lightly. I occasionally hear from people who haven't heard some important rules for safetyin people with cirrhosis. Vaccinations are critically important, especially to hepatitis A and B, but all the recommended vaccines are more important in a person with cirrhosis. Hepatitis A, a foodborne infection that is rarely dangerous in healthy adults, can be fatal in someone with cirrhosis.

diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver a little over a year ago. She never consumed any alcohol. I am concerned because her platelet count is very low — itshould be 130 to400,and hersis 54. What is your advice to my wife to keep her platelet count up? She regularly visits the gastroenterologist, and she has had her veins banded twice.— N.M. ANSWER: Liver cirrhosis is the end stage of many different liver diseases, such as alcohol, viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, hemochromatosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.In cirrhosis,the liver becomes 6brotic and is unable to do its many jobs, including removing toxins and making proteins. The fibrosis leads Many over-the-counter and pr eto high pressure in the veins going scription medications and supple-

ments build up to dangerous levels and needto be avoided or taken at much lower levels (especially Tylenol). Her liver doctor should be very carefully examining all of her medications and supplements. Food safety is an issue; about once a year I see a

person with cirrhosis admitted after eating raw oysters (or other shellfish) with a life-threatening or fatal infection (Vibrio vulnificus). These shouldn't be consumed. Alcohol, in any amount,is very dangerous for anyone with cirrhosis, even if they never used alcohol. The booklet on hepatitis explains the three difFerent kinds.

TOday in hiStOry Today is Wednesday, June 17, the 168th day of 201 5. There are 197 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On June 17, 1775, the Revolutionary War Battle of Bunker Hill resulted in a costly victory for the British, who suffered heavy losses. On this date: In 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor aboard the French ship Isere

(ee-SEHR'). In 1928, Amelia Earhart embarked on a trans-Atlantic flight from Newfoundland to Wales with pilots Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon, becoming the first woman to make the trip as a passenger. In 1930, President Herbert Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, which boosted U.S. tariffs to historically high levels, prompting foreign retaliation. In 1944, the Republic of Iceland was established. In 1953, U.S. Supreme Court Justice William 0. Douglas stayed the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, originally set for the next day, the couple's 14th wedding anniversary. (They were put to death June 19.) In 1961, Soviet ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev defected to the West while his troupe was in Paris. In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon's eventual downfall began with the arrest of five burglars inside Democratic national headquarters in Washington D.C/s Watergate complex. In 1985, Discovery Channel made its cable TV debut. In 1992, President George H.W. Bush and Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed a breakthrough arms-reduction agreement. In 1994, after leading police on a slow-speed chase on Southern California freeways, O.J. Simpson was arrested and charged with murder in the slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole, and her friend, RonaldGoldman. (Simpson was later acquitted in a criminal trial, but held liable in a civil trial.)

But if South plays low to his nine, then low to his jack, he succeeds when East has the king10 or queen-10, two holdings instead of one. That is clearly the right approach.

APPLICATION (A.) 14-1 0-014 PROPOSAL TO INCREASE ELECTRIC RATES

Monday, June 22, 2015, through Friday, June 26, 2015 10:00 A.M. cpuc Hearing Room, 505 van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA 94102 The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is currently reviewing Southern California Edison Company's (SCE) request to increase rates for issues related to the pilot phase of its Charge Ready and Market Education Programs. Evidentiary Hearings (EHs) are scheduled for the dates, times, and location shown above.

Any changes to the dates, times, and locations of the EHs will be posted to the CPUC's Daily Calendar, which is accessible on the Cpuc website at ~www. ~U. agpv. The hearing location is wheelchair accessible. Any participant needing a language Or Sign interpreter, Or other special assistance, should contact the cpuc's public Advisor's office (pAO) at the address listed at the bottom of this notice at least five days in advance of the hearing date. INF RMATI N AB

E' PR P

On October 30, 2014, SCE submitted an application to the CPUC for approval of its proposed Charge Ready and Market Education Programs, which includes a pilot phase (Phase 1). If this pilot phase is approved, SCE will recover the program costs through electric rates. scE's estimate of the total cost of this pilot phase is $22 million in 2015, which will result in a 0.03% system wide average rate increase compared to August 2014 rates.

Through this proposed program, SCE will encourage business customers to add charging stations to their property by providing the supporting electric infrastructure needed. SCE will offer customers a rebate for purchasing the charging stations. SCE will own and maintain the supporting electrical infrastructure. Customers will choose, own, operate, and maintain the

charging stations. SCE's proposed Charge Ready program aims to support the deployment of charging installations efficiently by factoring in the location, design and construction costs to maintain reasonable fees. In this application, SCE is proposing to implement a two-phase Charge Ready program and an electric vehicle (EV) Market Education campaign. Phase 1 would be a one-year pilot to deploy up to 1,500 charging stations, and would also include an introductory market education program. Phase 2 would include deployment of additional charging stations to bring the total up to 30,000 over five years, and expand the market education and outreach campaign.

SCE's proposed Charge Ready program is integral to developing the charging infrastructure required to increase Ev usage to help meet California's greenhouse gas (GHG), climate, air quality and petroleum reduction goals and objectives by 2020. The Charge Ready program will expand the EV charging infrastructure and aims to improve customer awareness. EVIDENTIARY HEARIN

At these EHs the assigned Administrative Law Judge (Judge) will receive the testimony of representatives from SCE, as well as consumer advocacy groups, and all other parties to this proceeding. These hearings are open to the public, but only those who are parties to the proceeding may present evidence, testimony, and be subject to cross-examination. The hearings and documents submitted during the proceeding become part of the formal record that the Judge relies upon in writing a proposed decision to present to the Commissioners for their consideration. ARer considering all proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process, the assigned Judge will issue a pro posed decision which may adopt SCE's proposal, modil'y it, or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision. The proposed decision, and any

alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon at a scheduled CPUCVoting Meeting. As a party of record, the Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA) has reviewed SCE's Application.

ORA is the independent consumer advocate within the cpuc with a legislative mandate to represent investor-owned utility customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels.

NHL Final is 2nd most-watched NEWYORK (AP)This year's Stanley Cup Final is the second most-watched on record. The series won by the Chicago Blackhawks over the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games averaged nearly 5.6 million viewers on NBC and NBCSN. lt trails only the six-game 2013 series between Chicago and the Boston Bruins, which averaged almost 5.8 million. NBC said Tuesday the audience was up 11 percent from the 5 million for last year's five-game series between the Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers. Nielsen's records go back to 1994. Monday's Game 6 drew more than 8 million viewers to make it the fourth-largest audience for an NHL game on record. Game 6 averaged a 41.0 rating and 57 share in the Chicago area, a record for the market. That means that 41 percent of homes with televisions and 57 percent of households withTVs in use at the time were tuned to the clincher.

Bullfrogs build toward strong season By GUY DOSSI The Union Democrat

On the day the Golden State Warriors won their first NBA

championship in 4 0-years, firstyear Bret Harte football coach Casey Kester tried to turn his players into warriors. Kester had his players running sprints, doing pushups, and trying to get them mentally tough in the 96-degree Angels Camp heat Tuesday evening. "I'm trying to bring in more of a warrior mentality," Kester said. "It's an honor code with courage,selfishness, leadership, and commitment. Those are things I want to bring into the program. I' ve never thought that our a t hletes are the worst athletes in the league. It's always been that they are so used to losing, and I have to change the attitude. That's the biggest thing you have to change. I know it sounds funny, but I wanna turn these guys into Frog Warriors."

"We had a little discussion about it today," Duffy said. "These fans are too good for us to be playing the way we have been at home. We' ve been playing really well on the road but for some reason or another it hasn't translated." Casey McGehee added a two-run double and Angel Pagan hit an RBI single as the Giants snapped their longest home skid since an 11-gamer at New York's Polo Grounds in 1940.

Brad Miller homered and drove in two runs for the Mariners, who split the twogame series in San Francisco and finished 4-4 on an eightgame road trip. "It'sperception versus real-

"If I could have gave more, I would have done it, but I gave everything I had," he said Tuesday after Cleveland's 105-97 loss to Golden State in Game 6 of the NBA Final. And that's more than just points, rebounds and assists. Throughout the year had proven what it meant not just to be the star but to be the leader, even more during the NBA Finals.

BRIEFS Cardinals allegedly hack Astros database ST. LOUIS (AP) — Federal law enforcement authorities are investigating whether the St. Louis Cardinals illegally hacked into a computer database of the Houston Astros to obtain

He could have shot an index finger into the air at that point — Golden State is No. 1. "This has been a long ride," Iguodala said. "It's been a great season." While G o lden S t a te' drought ended, Cleveland's half-centuryof sports misery rolls on. James returned from Miami last summer to deliver a

title to his home region, but the 30-yearold superstar,left to do most of the work after All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were injured in the postseason, came two wins shy of giving Cleveland its first pro sports championship since 1964. The city's three pro teams

— the Cavs, Browns and Indians — have gone a combined 144 seasons without one of them winning it all. It's not that James didn' t do everything possible. He sfinished with 32 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists and was dominant throughout the series, showing why he's the world's best player. The Warriors were simply thebetterteam. ''We ran out of talent," said James, who sat facing his locker with a towel over his head for nearly an hour after the game. "We gave everythmg we had."

going. The players enjoy it because we are always on the bounce and moving around, then it's off to something else." Bret Harte has been at the bottom of the Mother Lode League standings for the past decade. The Frogs have not won an MLL game in their last18 attempts. Kester will not turnthe program around

overnight, but a journey of 1,000 miles starts with the first step. He hopes that a strong emphasis on conditioning will help the Frogs take that first giant step in the right direction. "Conditioning has always been very important," Kester said. "I' ve been doing this mode of conditioning ever since I got to the high school level. It pays off By the time we get down to the hot days of August, the guys are already in shape. With the no-huddle ofFense that we run, it is so importanttobein shape." Kester's positive attitude and outlook have started to rub o6' on his players. There was no complaining or moaning when the players ran 50yard sprints, or lifted weights in a room with little ventilation. ''We look like we are going to have a good team," said junior Anthony Howard. 'We are motivated with our new coach, and I think we are going tohave a pretty good year. We just have to start thinkmg that we can play like we know we can. We are a good team, and this year I feel like we are ready toplay football and it will be a different year." Howard is one of the incoming juniors that has impressed Kester in the early summer practices. "Anthony Howard has spent

a lot of time this offseason in the weight room, and he will play running back and linebacker," Kester said. "He is filling out very nicely for us, and he'simproved his speed quite a bit.He may end up being a one-way player for us on defense at Mike' linebacker. He' s goingtohaveto beatoutsome other guys at running back." Depth is something that has not been a luxury at Bret Harte in years past. Now, the Frogs are two or three deep at every skilled position. The biggest offseason battle will be at the starting quarterback position. There are four players fighting for one spot. Senior Michael Ziehlke started everygame forthe Frogs last season, throwing for 370 yards and rushing for 967 yards with 16 touchdowns. ''Right now, I' ve got three juniors and Mike Ziehlke who are competing for the quarterback position," Kester said. "Last year I didn't have a backup quarterback. It was just Mike. I' ve coached Mike as a quarterback for three seasons, and this will be his third year running my offense,and

he runs it really well. But, he' s never had competition for the position. I' ve got three juniors, Joey KraR, Jimmy Brechtel, and a bay area transfer, Luke Penny, who are hungry to take that job." Kester isexpecting a lotout of junior Colin Preston. Preston played five games on the varsitylevelas a sophomore, and at 6-foot-4, 265-pounds, he is looking to have a breakout season. The only issue is where to play him. ''We are expecting him to be a beastat defensive end," Kester said. "We are still trying to figure out what to do

with him on offense. We don' t know if we want him to line up at tight end, or have him as a lineman." Regardless of where he plays in the fall, Preston knows he needs to put in the work during the summer if he wants to have a successful season.

"If you don't put in the work now, you are going to be way behind once the season starts," Preston said. 'You just have to keep on improving every day." As the 35 upper and lower classmen finished practice, there was a sense of bonding and belief that things are going to change. "I can see us with a lot more W's than we' ve had in the past," said senior Dalton Kaua. 'The goal that I am working for is to beat Calaveras after so many years. But as a whole, getting a nice family and team together. We had team dinners every week last year, and I'm hoping to keep that tradition going and becoming more of a family." Bret Hartepractices four days a week, and a steady 30 to 35 players show up daily. Kester would like to see that number double by the time school starts in August, and hopes to be ready to lead the Frogsinto apositive future. "I would like to have 50 to 60 kids who are well conditioned, who have been through 7-on7's and know our offense and defense," Kester said. 'That is what I am going to be looking for.I'm notgoing tobe installing a lot of our offense over the summer, but we will be running plays and the linemen are working on blocking skills. If we can get the guys to come into camp ready to go, we will be well ahead of things."

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Oakland's Eric Sogard took pleasure in helping ruin a big day for his former college coach, Padres interim manager Pat Murphy. Sogard drove in the go-ahead in the ninth inning with a single off closer Craig Kimbrel, leading the A's to a 6-5 victory over San Diego on Tuesday and spoiling Murphy's major league debut.

It was the last game and the last time this &anchise will ever have to think or talk about a championship curse. And the Warriors 105-97 victory, to clinch the 2015 NBA championship, was the crackling beginning of

"It was chaos," Kerr said.'Pure joy." This game and this season ended as it had to: With the ball in Curry's hands, and then he flung it high into the air. When it the ball came back to earth, the entire Warriors franchise was new, different, and majestic. Andre Iguodala was the rightful Most Valuable Player of the finals, but this is Curry's team, and he set

The Warriors were 13 for 34 &om three-point distance and seemed to make a three every time they needed to take or pad the lead. That's how the Warriors took over this game in the third quarter, after it was a one-point game at haINme, and that's how they out-maneuvered Cleveland, who had taken a 2-1 lead in this series with power and LeBron James. In Game 4, Kerr went to small lineup, spread the floor, sped up the game, and the next stop was a championship. On Tuesday, it was just a matter of working through the nerves and getting to the finish line. uWe're an anxious wreck before the game trying to get the game started,"

Curry said. "Because we knew what was at stake tonight. "Unimaginable feeling knowing you' re one game away &om an NBA championship; and we got it done." This was the summation of a dream campaign — 67 regular-season victories, the league MVP for Curry, plowing through three previous rounds and then fighting past the Cavaliers. This also was the explosive end to the &ustrations of so many generations of Warriors fans, and players, and employees, and coaches... "It's been 40 years, I'm so happy for them," co-owner Joe Lacob said. "Four years, seven months and one day — and this is the best day." Tuesday was a dividing line in Warriors history: The last day of the worst partofWarriorshistory and the first day of the new history of a new &anchise, raised on a new foundation and nowfeaturing a golden trophy.
