Forest Service seeks input on over-snow vehicle plan Union Democrat staff

Open houses set The Stanislaus National Forest wants to know what people think about an Over-Snow Vehicle Designation Project. Forest Service officials will host several open houses where they will provide an overview of the plan and answer questions (see inset information). A stakeholder workshop will also be held during the 45-day comment period, which opened Friday and ends Aug. 10. The proposed plan would include: Grooming 54 miles of forest trails for over-snow vehicles (OSV); joining forces with Alpine County to groom Clark's Fork Road and Highland Lakes Road; designating 98 miles of ungroomed routes for OSV use; and designating 141,073 acres for open OSV riding. Trails would be groomed when there is 12 to 18 inches of snow. The Forest Plan would be amended to allow winter OSV use in the Pacific Valley and portions of the Eagle Night Near Natural areas. A forest-wide snow-depth requirement would be implemented for OSV use when there is a mini-

Stanislaus National Forest staffers will hold four open houses: • July 13, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Perry Walther Community Building, 325 Creekside Drive, Bear Valley. • July 14, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the Calaveras Ranger District Office at 5519 Highway 4, Hathaway Pines. • July 21, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the Pinecrest Elementary School at 30433 Old Strawberry Road, Pin ecrest. • July 22, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the Stanislaus National Forest Supervisor's office, 19777 Greenley Road, Sonora.

A man from Citrus Heights spilled a trailer full of fine gravel along Highway 4 Thursday morning. Timothy Talboy, 59, of Citrus Heights, was driving a 2006 Kenworth big-rig west on Highway 4about 6 a.m., according to a California Highway Patrol report. Talboy had just entered the highway after turning from O'Byrnes Ferry Road. Af-

ter the turn, the truck's wheels drifted off the right side of the road onto a dirt shoulder. As a result, the trailer rolled onto its side, spilling the majority of gravel being hauled. The trailer was dragged more than 200 feetbefore Talboy was able to stop it, the reportstated. Talboy was uninjured. One-way traffic control was in effect for about two-and-a-half hours after the spill to clearand repair theroad.

But it's not — in all fairness to Pendley — as much as you might think in relative terms. A database of STRS pensioners maintained by watchdog group Transparent California shows Pendley won't even rank among the top 600 public school system pensioners in the state (http: //transparentcalifornia.corn/pensions/2014/calstrs). So the moral of the story? For one, it's no wonder STRS is on the verge of going broke. For another, while most educators enter the field not thinking of it as a way to get rich, for many administrators hep to the system, it indeed can be a path to exactly that.

A takeaway lesson for now is the extent to which the district and Pendley will go to milk whatever they can from the taxpayer and the public's trust. In this case, Pendley is seemingly prepared to accept a $9,000 giftof public money that was not part of his retirement agreement because he doesn't want to pay $750 of his $13,000 monthly take for his own health care.

Hard to understand considering the early retirement was apparently his idea, and that his personal expenses for healthcare would be a far smaller share of his monthly pay than most Americans'.

Why we ran the

gay marriage letter Earlier this week, The Union Democrat ran a letter to the editorfrom a reader who opposed gay marriage. More than one reader wondered why we'd run such a thing and whether we endorsed that view. To the first point, we try to run the broadest range of letters,with certain constraints,to promote dialog about issues of publicinterest. In considering whether it should run we determined it

does notdirectly attack people, but rather the idea of gay marriage and that no matter how coarsely stated, it addressed an issue of high interest being taken up by state governments and the nation's highest court. It made a lot of people angry and is an extreme side of an argument, but not running it would be censoring a faction in our community. On the second point — do we endorse this thinking?

Regular readers may remember the "Shields rule," about the tension between organized religion and politics. It goes like this: With but one exception, ministers, priests, rabbis and imams — men and women of the cloth — should stay out of all partisan American politics. The one exception, of course, is any major political fight in which the minister, priest, rabbi or imam courageously dares to support my candidate or to join my side. L iberals, in whose ranks I a m found, are generally secular and almost always on the state side in any church-state dispute. Conservative politicians mostly testify publicly about their own Christian fidelity while also courting the observant to support their campaign. The fact, which liberals are somehow reluctant to acknowledge, is that American religion and religious people have had a profoundly positive impact on American public life. The long battle to atone for America's original sin, by repealing slavery, was led and eventually won not by the academic or intellectual elite or by enlightened captains of commerce or industry. Inspiring and leading the long, difficult struggle for abolition were the Quakers, the Religious Society of Friends, joined by the Methodists (inspired by their founder, John Wesley), along with Congregationalists and evangelicals. A century later, as elders of our community can recall, institutional

NEWARK, N.J. — The former chief executive of a medical device company that admitted to distributing knee replacement surgery tools using a marketing plan rejected by the Food and Drug Administration will go to jail. Charli Chi, of San Francisco, pleaded guilty along with the company, OtisMed Corp., in December. The 46-year-old was sentenced Friday to 24 months in prison. The company was fined more than $80 million for the criminal and civil charges for distributing the knee replacement surgery cutting guides. The company sold orthopedic cutting guides used by surgeons during knee replacement surgery using claims that weren't evaluated by the FDA and were laterrejected.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)Hundreds of people packed the rotunda of San Francisco City Hall to mark the 70th birthday of the signing of the United Nations charter. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who traveled to San Francisco to mark the anniversary, called the twomonth conference that led to the signing an audacious endeavor, one where a desire for a better world overcame the horrors of two world wars. "Ladies and gentlemen, the draNng of the charter was a glorious gamble. Delegates &om dozens of countries bet on humanity," he said, adding, "For two months, they turned San Francisco's War Memorial into a peace palace." The United Nations was born onOct.24,1945, after

governments in a majority of countries approved the charter. T he ceremony o n

Fri-

day was just one of several events on Ban's schedule. He received a medal from the Harvey Milk Foundation for his work on behalf of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people around the world. In the evening, Ban and otherdignitarieswere scheduled to dine at the Fairmont Hotel, where some of the negotiati ons took placein 1945. The U.N., now made up of nearly 200 member countries, has the key goals of safeguardingpeace,promoting human rights and delivering humanitarian aid. The mission in modern times has come to embrace climate change, gay rights and sus-

tainable development, even as the world body con&onts a series of stubborn conflicts in places such as Yemen, South Sudan and Syria. Compounding the historic nature of the day was a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that same-sex couples are &ee to marry anywhere in the United States — a ruling welcomed by Ban and other political leaders who spoke at the U.N. commemoration. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, California Gov. Jerry Brown and U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi commented onthe gay marriage ruling to applause &om the crowd. "Marriage equality, the rights of same-sex couples now recognized by the highest court of the land: Who

would have ever thought that, even five years ago?" Brown said. In t h e a u dience was 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai, a NobelPeace Prize laureate who was shot by a gunman in 2012foradvocating education for girls in Pakistan. She sat serenely on the second floor of City Hall and waved to the crowd below and all around her. Also in the audience was Libba Patterson, a 97-yearold woman whose San Fran-

cisco Bay Area family hosted a teenage Ban as part of an international Red Cross effort in 1962. It was the first trip abroad for Ban, who had suffered through the Korean War as a young boy, and who found relief in the food handed out by U.N. peacekeepers.

SF told to stop taking Hetch Hetchy water SACRAMENTO — Regulators on Friday told San Francisco to stop taking some of the river water it routinely stores in the Hetch Hetchy reservoir. However, the city is far from having its taps run dry during the drought. Officials said the cutback orders don't apply to water already stored in the reservoir system, which has enough water to last through two more dry years. The State Water Resources Control Board orderedthe cutback in its latest round of notices informing agencies, corporations and individuals holding water rights that waterways are too dry to meet demand in the drought. San Francisco depends on snow in the Sierra Nevada melting into the Tuolumne River to supply its drinking water, but the snowpack has

largely vanished during the fourth year of the drought. The city has several century-old claims to the river, including one established when the mayor famously nailed a notice on a tree in 1902. It' s not clear how much water San Franciscodiverts from the river for storage under the cuts ordered Friday. "We' re very protective of our water rights," said Steven Ritchie, who manages water for San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. "We' re going to look very closely atwhat the statewater board does to determine the appropriatecourse ofaction." The Hetch Hetchy reservoir is located 160 miles from the city in the Sierra Nevada and supplies 2.5 million people in the San Francisco Bay Area.

San Franciscogets 85 percentofits water from the reservoir. The densely

packed city with few lawns is among the most water frugal in California, with residents using an average of 45 gallons each a day.

Under Califor nia's water rights system, the first to stake claims to water as early as Gold Rush days are among the last to face cuts. The state has already ordered thousands of farmers and others with more recent rights to stop pumping from the Sacramento,San Joaquin and delta watersheds. The boardexpanded itscutsearlier this month to more than 100 senior water rights holders in California's agriculture-rich Central Valley. S ome irrigation d i stricts w i t h those prizedclaims are considering defyingthe water board and are challenging the cuts in court, saying the agency has no power to regulate their water use.

Wedding bells ring for gay couples LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)Benjamin Moore and Tadd Roberts wore matching tuxedos to the county clerk's office in Louisville to get marriedFriday,and the mayor greeted them with a bottle of champagne. They were among a rush of gay couples across the South and Midwest who celebrated the Supreme Court's ruling legalizing same-sex marriage with spontaneous weddings. They were young and old, they wore gowns and suits or T-shirts and jeans, they kissed and waved flags that read "love wins." "It's just been incredible and historic and amazing to live this moment," Moore said. The mayor took commemorative photos of him and Roberts getting their license.

Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who has long fought against same-sex marriage, said states can fight the ruling, as they have decisions allowing slavery or abortion, and predicted that it would spark a national backlash &om Christian conservatives.

'They' ve just disregarded everything that precedent holds, and they' ve destroyed the foundation of our country which is family," Moore said. In rural Alabama, Pike County Probate Judge Wes Allen said he would stop issuing all marriage licenses to

avoid having to give them to gay couples. Allen said Alabama law gives judges the option ofgranting licenses, and "I have chosen not to perform that function." Governors in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas also railed against the ruling.

Obama eulogizes the victims of Dozens South Carolina church massacre killed in CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — After a string of triumphs, President Barack Obama's eulogy for those killed in a South Carolina church massacre was supposed to bring an extraordinary week to a somber close. But something changed. Between legislative and legal victories, Obama had spent hours privately grappling with the tragedy in this southern city, where nine people attending Bible study were killed in a racially motivated attack. Their deaths sparkedvexing questions about racial divisions, gun violence and the way America grapples with its own diflicult history. At first, the president had planned to largely focus his remarks on remembering Rev. Clementa Pinckney, the slain pastor of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, and the eight other victims. But that's not what happened. Maybe Obama was buoyedby a week that brought about the validation of his sweeping health carelaw,a win on trade and the Supreme Court's aflirmation of gay marriage across the country. Maybe he was driven by the fearlessness he says he now feels as he heads down the final stretch of his presidency. As Obama took the stage to address the

crowd of more than 5,500 packed into a basketball arena, he did speak movingly about Pinckney, a state lawmaker and popular pastor. Then the president issued a challenge, calling on the nation to not shy away from the "uncomfortable truths" about the racial

prejudice thatplagues the country. He revived his push for gun control legislation, despite staunch opposition in Washington. He called for the Confederate battle lag toberemoved &om thegrounds ofSouth f Carolina's statehouse, a move that would represent "one step in an honest accounting of America's history." He taunted the alleged killer of the Charleston churchgoers. While the gunman wanted to incite fear and deepen divisions, Obama noted the unity Charleston has shown in the past week and said: "God works in mysterious ways. God had different ideas." Then Obama sang. As Obama neared the close of his 40-minute remarks, he unexpectedly sang out the openingwords ofthehymn "Amazing Grace." The crowdof5,500 leapttoitsfeettojoin the president in song. It was a stirring emotional moment for a president who can own seem detached and distant.

The shootings in the Tunisian resort of Sousse happened at about the same time as a bombing at a Shiite mosque in Kuwait and an attack on a U.S.owned factory in France that included a beheading. It was unclear if the violence was linked but it came days after the IS militants urged their followers "to make Ramadan a month of calamities for the nonbelievers." In all, the assailants killed at least 65 people. The SITE Intelligence Group reported later that the IS claimed credit for the Tunisia attack on its Twitter account and identified the gunman as Abu Yahya aI-Qayrawani. The attack in Tunisia,

Annual Grand 3ury Report

offers critiques and praise By TORI THOMAS The Union Democrat

The Calaveras County Grand Jury has recommended that the county's Animal Services return to being run by the SherifFs Office.

The citizens' panel, which investigatesgovernment operations and citizen complaints, reviewed multiple areas of county government, as well as various agencies across the county, including water districts. Animal services was under the

direction of the SherifFs Office until 2012, when it was moved to the Environmental Management Agency. The grand jury stated Animal Services is understaffed. "After-hours emergencies are seldom responded to in a timely manner, if at all, e the report says.

Chatom Winery and its adjoining ranch/vineyards were put up for auction on Friday (above). There were two high bidders who must wait to see if their proposals will be accepted by the owner. The vineyard has been in Douglas Flat since the early 1980s, and its wine has won numerous awards. About 40 people attended the auction Friday (belowj.

al atthe 2015 California State Fair's Commercial Wine Competition, its 2014 Chardonnay won a bronze, and its 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon also won a silver medal for Region H: Sierra Foothills. All were in the Calaveras County appellation. The vines were hand-planted by Callan, Mast said. The vines are 30 years old, according to Williams & Williams. Interestingly, the ranch has an association to author Mark Twain and the story of the jumping Bog contest of Calaveras County. The owner's home was reportedly built on the site of the Pony Express office where Twain mailed his now-famous manuscript about the jumping frog contest in CalaverasCounty,according to the auction house's online description of the ranch. Callan did not return calls for comment on Thursday or Friday. According to Williams & Williams Worldwide Real Estate Auction company, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the owner, has the option of either accepting the offers or declining them. The waiting period for approval or denial is about two weeks, according to the auction pamphlet handed out Friday.

"No union is more profound than arriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrif ce, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become somethin greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these case demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these man and women to say they disrespect th idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deepl that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to b condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's old st institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law.

After the auction Friday, Faught said he has a business plan for the winery but hasn't yet shared it with anyone. "It's not a done deal yet. I'm just going to wait and see," he said. The ranch portion of Chatom includes 744 acres of land, 64 of which are vineyard, according to the auction pamphlet. It also includes a 4,000-square-foot home, swinmnng pool, caretaker's home, vineyard manager home, vineyard staffhome, barns, sheds and a workshop. The high bid for the ranch/vineyard was $550,000. The bidder declined to give his name and said that he "has too many things going on." Ifhisbid is accepted and he takes ownership of the property, his name will become public record. If owner Gay Callan accepts either or both of the bids, the new person, or people, willtake possession ofthe property30 days after the date ofacceptance, explained Williams & Williams auctioneer Joseph Mast, of Ohio. The auction was held outside of the winery along Highway 4 in Douglas Flat, and about 40 people were in the audience. The auction was also held online, so people were bidding via Internet.

Wilson-McConnell The Wilson-McConnell home in Columbia has been vacant since Mrs. Geraldine McConnell passed away in 2003, but her garden lives on. Instrumental in establishing Columbia as a state park, Mrs. McConnell planned and refurbished the yard surrounding her old farm house. She consulted historians in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, for advice about historical plants from the 19th century. Rows of irises, daAodils, tulips, a rambling rose, snowberry bushes and bleedinghearts are some of the plants she chose. Mrs. McConnell's fig tree, located in her back patio, provided shade to Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly when "High Noon" was being filmed here in 1951-52. Mrs. McConnell allowed the use of her patio and shadetree fora respite and privacy during the filming. Alas, the fig tree is no longer there, but a round hole in the flagstonepatiowhere thetree once stood has remnants of a trunk with fresh, healthy shoots growing out of it! Gary and Mary Anderson own the Hamton-Anderson home on South Shepherd Street. Their yard still has three rose bushes that were planted in the late 1800s.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Denise and John Stevens have had pets their whole livesthen they retired. "Atter our last dog passed away, we decided not to get another one. We like the freedom from worrying about her," Denise Stevens, 63, said of the Long Island, New York, couple whose Jack Russell terrier diedlastyear."W etend to treatthese dogs like children." Baby boomers are retiring in record numbers, and many wonder whether a dog or cat belongs in their golden years. Some seniors want the companionship, but others worry about declining health, failing to outlive a new pet, moving to a facility that doesn't allow animals and tighter budgets. Some, like the Stevenses, just want a break from the responsibility of owning a pet. For retirees who want a dog or cat — at leastsometimes — thereare programs to help connectolder people and pets,said Kristen Levine, a pet living and lifestyle expert who works with those over 50. Organizations are toying with pet rentals, having senior citizens foster animals, arrangingfor several families to share a pet, or bringing therapy dogs to homes instead of just hospitals. A nonprofit program in Colorado helps low-income elderly and disabled people in Larimer County keep their pets as long as possible. PetsForever issponsored by Colorado State University and partners with local companies and organizations to provide in-home animal care and dog walking, said Lori Kogan, program director and founder. While retirees are making decisions abouttheirlifestyles,rest homes, assisted living centers and retirement communities are looking at how to accommodate seniors over the next two decades, Levine said. Even those who have spent their lives working with animals have to decide whether their future will include pets. "I'm edging up to that moment — I'm just about 60and retired.We lostour dog of 15 years last year. We are thinking about what to do next," said Stephen Zawistowski, who was a science adviser for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and was with the group for nearly 27 years. Much has been written about how pets help people, but it's not the same for everyone, he said. "The idea that pets are the panacea for stressand lonelinessisnotnecessarily true for everybody," Zawistowski said. For some, it might be painting or playing an instrument, he said. He believes money isthebiggestobstacle to keeping a pet. He and his wife have two elderly cats and know how much it can cost to keep them.

Calaveras Animal Services last week held a successful adoption event in San Andreas. A total of 11 felines and eight canines were adopted in a few hours. "The first animal, a dog, was adopted at 9:08 a.m., and the activity never stopped from there on," said Michele Rugo, of Friends of Calaveras Animal Services. "An extra bonus, we also recruited two new volunteers willing to become fosters."The event, co-sponsored by Friends of Calaveras Animal Services and Save A PetThrift, offered reduced adoption fees that included first shots, spay or neutering and microchipping. Manteca resident Krysta Bender (above) adopted German shepherd pup, Zelda, during the event. For information on pet adoption in Calaveras County, call 736-941 7, or go online to calaverashumane.org.

of course, no one ever called, so I wrongfully assumed they were OK Then disaster struck our home. My husband fell down some steps and suddenly was a quadriplegic. Not only did it forever change our lives, it also made me realize that, even though I needed help, I was hesitant to reach out. So here is my advice to those who really want to be of assistance but don't know how: 1. If it's the season to tio something

could be a huge help. I have several things that need fixing with a power drill and I'm not good at it and don' t have the time to devote to practicing. Right now, I'tn building a sidewalk to our patio. It would be great if someone called to say, "I have two free hours. What do you need help with?" One neighbor came by to remove our storm doors when it occurred to him that I couldn't do that myself. I could have kissed him. 5. Call to say you are coming over to visit. We both feel so isolated. I would love for people to stop by so I have someone to talk to and he could have a friend watch a baseball game with him. People come when we specifically invite them, but they never call to

answer. My pride kept me from asking, but I would gladly have accepted help from someone who insisted. 2. Don't make promises you don't intend tokeep.We had a neighbor who told us on four separate occasions that he would come by to jtx a broken door but didn't show up. 3. Cook something. We can no longer afford to go out to dinner, nor can we justify the expense of the special van needed to transport my husband to a restaurant. I atn so tired of eating noth-

ing but tny own cooking. If you make an extraamount ofanything,your&iend would probably appreciate your sharing. People tend to bring food for the first couple of weeks, but now, months

suggest coming over. I get it. Before, I didn't know what we'd talk about. But the truth is, I wouldn't care if we talked about the weather. I want to hear how

"real" people live, not just rehash what our life has become.— EXHAUSTED AFTER 10 MONTHS DEAR EXHAUSTED: Your suggestions are excellent. Most people want to help, but they don't know how to do it. And they don't want to impose by insisting on cutting the gpass, dropping offa meal or asking to stop by for a visit. We hope they will take your words to heart.

For those men, the process of screening can leadto a diagnosis ofprostate cancer, treatment of which can lead to significant side effects but with no benefit to them.

TOday in hiStOry Today is Saturday, June 27, the 178th day of 2015. There are 187 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On June 27, 1955, Illinois enacted the nation's first automobile seat belt law. (The law did not require cars to have seat belts, but that they be made seat belt-ready.) On this date: In 1787, English historian Edward Gibbon completed work on his six-volume work, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Romann E m pire." In 1844, Mormon leader Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum, were killed by a mob in Carthage, IIlinois. In 1864, Confederate forces repelled a frontal assault by Union troops in the Civil War Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia. In 1905, the Industrial Workers of the World was founded in Chicago. In 1922, the first Newberry Medal, recognizing excellence in children' s literature, was awarded to "The Story of Mankind" by Hendrik Willem van Loon.

Richard Cobden, an English member of parliament who died in 1865, said, "A West newspaper should be the maximum of 4KQ74 4 A86 32 information and the minimum of comY52 Y764 ment." I 10 8 3 I 954 2 These columns try to impart the 4A 985 42 maximum of information in the space South provided. At the bridge table, during the 4 J9 bidding, a player should judge how high V AK 8 3 to go by assuming that his partner holds t KQ6 a suitable minimum for the auction so far. 4 K1074 And usually a defender should work out the minimum that his partner needs to Dealer: South hold so that they can defeat the contract. Vulnerable: Neither How does that second possibility apply South West N orth E a st to this deal? What should happen in four 1NT Pa s s 24 Pass hearts after West leads the spade king'? N ote that North did well to employ the 2V Pass 4V All Pas s Stayman convention to locate the 4-4 heart fit. Three no-trump would surely Opening lead: 4 K have lost five spades and one club for down two. (My rule is to use Stayman with a low doubleton, but not with a strong doubleton.) The defenders need four tricks to defeat the contract. East should hope that his partner holds either the club ace or heart ace. East, after encouraging his partner to continue spades by signaling with his eight, should take the second spade and shift to his singleton club. Here, West wins with his ace and gives East a club ruff, which is the fourth defensive trick. Alternatively, if West has the heart ace, he wins fourth trick with it and gives his partner the lethal ruff. Finally, yes, East could overtake the spade king with his ace at trick one and immediately shift to his club. If anything, that is a more dynamic, delightful defense.

BRIEFING

As we move into a hot summer and the worst drought in years, at New Melones Reservoir, where the water level continues to drop, it is not stopping avid anglers from getting out and fishing. Night fi shermen are even going out and having success with submersible lights. A variety of species may be attractedthis way, includi ng tro u t , catfish, crappie, and bass. Nightcrawlers or live minnows are productive baits. Trollers are finding that trout and kokanee aregoing deeper, seeking cooler water. In

4 USUgridders hurt in crash TRENTON, Utah (AP) — Four Utah State football players and a former softball player were hurt when a tractortrailer collided with their SUV on Friday. The Salt LakeTribune reported that witnesses said their Chevy Tahoe was eastbound on state Route 142 when it pulled in to the intersection with state Route 23 in Trenton and wasT-boned by thesouthbound semi. The Utah Highway Patrol said the semi carrying 52,000 pounds of milk struck the SUV on the driver's side and pushed it 75 yards. Utah State identified the football players as defensive linemen Travis Seefeldt, Adewale Adeoye,Edmund Faimalo and John Taylor, and the former softball player as outfielder Sarah Vasquez. They were hospitalized. Seefeldt and Vasquez were in critical condition. The truck driver's condition was unknown. "We will do everything we can to help all the student-athletes involved in today's car accident and will give them all the love and support they need," Aggies football coach Matt Wells said in a statement. Seefeldt, a senior from Peoria, Arizoba, had 35 tackles, 25 tackles for loss and two sacks last season. Adeoye is freshman from St. Louis, Faimalo a junior from Riverside andTaylor a senior from Colton, California. Vasquez, also from Colton, completed her college career this year.

purple, blue, and even black are said to show up better. Troutand kokanee have been found as deep as 90-feet. Bass fishing has been consistently good, according to Glory Hole Sports guide John Liechty. He finds a topwater bite early in the morning and, as the sun gets higher, the fish go deeper where st plastics and weighted rigs work well. On the catfishing scene, a group of three anglers ganged up on them last week. Parker and Payton Barrington, along with an anony-

the Sprint Cup championship field, which Allmendinger capitalized last season. His win at Watkins Glen earned the driver and JTG Daughtery Racing their first Chase berth and was the crowning achievement for one of NASCAR's smaller teams. Allmendinger, one of the top road racers in NASCAR, is hoping for the same outcome this year. His first shot comes Sunday on the picturesque 1.99-mile track California track. "I know the format — if you win, you' re in the Chase," Allmendinger said Friday. "I know what the prize is. I know if you win, you make the Chase, and that's so important. But I try not to focus on putting the pressure on that this race is do or die, or Watkins Glen is do or die." Statistically, road courses are Allmendinger's best events. His 13.6 average finish at Sonoma and Watkins Glen is nearly eight positions better than any other style of track in the series, and two See NASCAR / Page C2

Watson in 3-way tie for Lloyd lifts US over China, 1-0 US Senior Open lead Americans will face Germany in World Cup semifinals SAC RANE NTO (AP) Tom Watson still gets quite a thrill seeing his name atop the leaderboard. Maybe even more at age 65. Watson withstood the scorching heat to shoot a 1-under 69 on Friday, finishing in a three-way tie atop the bunched leaderboard after the second round of the U.S. Senior Open. 'The illusion that I c an still do it," Watson said when asked what keeps him playing competitive golf. "I don' t have the tools in the toolbox I used to have. They' re missing. Some of the tools are missing. And so it's getting more and

more diflicult for me to compete, but I still feel as if I can somehow get it done." Sure seems that way so far in Sacramento. Watson was joined at 5 under for the championship by Jeff Maggert and Peter Fowler. Maggert shot a 65, and Fowler a 66 in their morning rouiids.

But all the attention turned to the Hall of Famer heating up in the sizzling sunshine. Watson made four birdies and three bogeys to provide the drama at sun-drenched Del Paso Country Club, where the temperature soared above See OPEN/Page C2

(AP) — Tyson Gay was going so fast through the finish line that he nearly ran out of track to apply the brakes, sidestepping cameramen to avoid a nasty collision.

Gay fell behind early only to make up ground ina hurry on Baylor standout Trayvon Bromell to win the 100 meters at the U.S. championships on a scorching Friday night.

No surprise: Connor Mcoavid goes No. 1 in draft SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Connor McDavid's favorite hockey player is Sidney Crosby. His favorite non-skating athlete is LeBron James. He's now in their club, forever to be known as a No. 1 pick. McDavid's journey toward widely expected NHL superstardom officially began Fridaynight when the Edmonton Oilers grabbed him with the top

overall selection in the draft. No player has entered the league with such hype since Crosby a decade ago, and McDavid's level of celebrity within the game already may rival what James was dealing with when he joined the NBA in 2003. "It was even better than I expected," M cDavidsaid."It's so exciting tohear your name called. It was unbeliev-

The Oilers haven't reached the playoffs since 2006, a far cry &om when Wayne Gretzky dominated the NHL and Edmonton won five titles in a seven-year span &om 1984 through 1990. No pressure, Connor.

"The Edmonton Oilers have such a historic history," McDavid said. He's their future. "We' re lucky to have him," Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli said. Buffalo took Hobey Baker winner Jack Eichel of Boston University with the No. 2 pick, another no-surprise move. Eichel had 26 goals and 45 assists in 40 games this past season.

Allmendinger is considered an aggressive driver, and that style doesn't always work at Sonoma. "Nobody drives in the corners deeper than AJ does," Gordon said. "I think that at Watkins Glen that way of attacking the racetrack is very beneficial and definitely puts good lap times together and is tough to beat. Here I think there is a fine line and balance between that. I think AJ has the skills to be the fastest and the best here this weekend, certainly in qualifying. Then it's going to come down

We played at a reasonably good pace." Watson controlled his irons, consistently found fairways and putted with precision. He birdied all three par 5s — laying up each timebut provided his most-crowd pleasing moment on the par-4 ninth. W atson's 20-foot p u t t stopped on the lip of t he cup before falling in.

W atson also saved par after hitting into the long, lush rough on No. 17, but he bogeyed on the 18th after his 10-footputt stopped short — giving him something to think about heading into the weekend. "I still have nerves," Watson said. "If you don't have nerves, you' re lying. The guys out here, if you' re playing in this competition, there's an element of pressure thataffects you. But the thing is I played underthistypeofpressure all my life."

to executing that in the race. I would say he is the guy to beat." Allmendinger needs it: He comes into Sonoma in a fourrace slump with finishes between 23rd and 29th since the Coca-Cola 600 in May. When he qualified for the Chase a year ago,he admitted JTG needed to get much better if they had any shot of competing in the 16-driver championship field. He still believes that, even though the single-car team has made gains over the last year. "I think we' ve improved," Allmendinger said, "and everybody else improved more. That's kind of the nature with a smaller team is you' re al-

ways trying to play catch-up a little bit." Allmendinger opened the season strong and was as high as fifth in the standings, but a lack of consistency and chasing NAS CAR's powerhouse teams has him in a hole that he'd like to climb &om more than grab a win in a wild-card race. ''We had a couple of DNF's and we blew some motors a couple of weeks in a row. We crashed at Bristol running inside the top 10," he said. "I wouldn't say panic set it, but we started trying different things. We know where we have toimprove. We have the steps in place and the ideas in place, but it's not an overnight process, either."

BRIEFS Randle joins Warriors' summer leagueteam OAKLAND (AP) — Former Stanford guard Chasson Randle has agreed to join the Golden State Warriors for the NBA's l l lSK+ Las Vegas sum- +<„R, mer league. Randle was a two-time All-Pac-12 first-team selection in four years at Stanford. He scored a school-record 2,375 points, helping the Cardinal win two NIT championships and reach the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 in 2014. Randle was not taken in Thursday night's draft, and his chance of making the roster for the newly crowned NBA champions is slim. But he could be a candidate to join the franchise's NBA Development League affiliate in Santa Cruz next season. The Las Vegas summer league runs &om July 10 to July 20.

Sandberg resigns as Phillies manager PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ryne Sandberg left on his terms. An emotional Sandberg resigned as Phillies manager on Friday in his third season as Philadelphia struggles with the worst recordin them ajorleagues. "In a lot of ways, I'm old school, and I'm very much dissatisfied with the record and not pleased at all with that," Sandberg said. "I think that goes hand in hand with being a manager. So it's been a difficult thing to swallow, but I have thought about it for some time, and we' ve come to

this day. The accumulation of losses was something that I take responsibility for and something that really took a toll on me." The Phillies lost 5-2 to Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals in their first game without Sandberg. Scherzer retired the fi rst 16 batters before Freddy Galvis doubled on a 1-1 pitch to the right-field wall. Sandberg quits with a 119-159 career r~rd over partsofthree seasons leading Philadelphia. His only full season was in 2014, when the Phillies finished with a 73-89 record. Third base coach Pete Mackanin took over as interim manager at least through asix-game homestand. He's 53-53 in parts of two seasons with Pittsburgh in 2005 and Cincinnati in 2007.

Scherzer on historic run, loses no-hitter in 6th PHILADELPHIA (AP)Max Scherzer took a perfect game into the sixth inning in his bid to become the second pitcher in major league history to throw two consecutive

no-hitters and the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 Friday night. On a day Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg resigned, Scherzer stole the show. Scherzer (9-5) retired the first 16 batters before Freddy Galvis doubled on a 1-1 pitch to the right-field wall. The Nationals right-hander allowed two runs and five hits in eight iiiiii i i g S.

Scherzer tossed a no-hitter last Saturday against Pittsburgh, falling one strike shy of aperfect game before hit ting Jose Tabata on a 3-2 pitch with two outs. He threw a one-hitter, striking out 16 in his previous start.

But he couldn't match Johnny Vander Meer, who threw two straight no-hitters for the Cincinnati Reds in June 1938. Cardinals 3, Cubs 2,(10) ST.

B ourjos began th e i n ning with a double offJustin Grimm (1-2). Kolten Wong followed with a single off the second base bag and Matt Carpenter was walked to load the bases. Jhonny Peralta then hit a routine grounder to second base, where right fielder Baxter was positioned with the bases loaded and no one out to give the Cubs five infielders. He had plenty of time, but threw wildly to the plate.

Bucs quarterback Winston trying to move forwanl BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Jameis Winston knows there are always eyes on him — watching, dissecting and waiting for him to make a mistake. The spotlight doesn't leave, and Winston wants to shine in it. "It's about my actions," the Tampa Buccaneers rookie said while attending a youth football clinic. "I got tobe a quarterback. When I' m offthe field,Igotto be a quarterback. When I'm on the field, I' ve got tobe a quarterback. I know people are going to look at me in each and every way. "I just smile, man." He did a lot of that on Friday. Winston is trying to move on from a celebratedand checkered collegecareer at Florida State, where he won a Heisman Trophy and led the Seminoles to a national championship but also brought himself and the school shame for multiple off-field incidents, including a rape accusation that was

And while he's not hiding from his past, Winston is focused on what's in ahead, not behind him. "I have nothing to prove," he said."I believe that people make mistakes but I also believe that you bounce back from those and I'm just moving forward." Winston and the NFC's other draftedrookies got a break from their four-day symposium — a

Julie Johnston lofted a long ball into the penalty area and Lloyd met it with her head 10 yards Rom the goal line and bounced the ball off the artificial turf and past goalkeeper Fei Wang. That brought cheers from the overwhelmingly p r oAmerican crowd of 24,141 at Lansdowne Stadium. "I don't just want to be a participant in the World Cup," Lloyd said. "I want to have a legacy. I want to have people remember me, and let my play do the talking." Morgan, who started in her third straight match after recovering from a bone bruise,

Lloyd scored the winning goal in overtime to beat Brazil for the gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and scored both U.S. goals in the 2012 London final over Japan.

We just got to live with it." Winston will stay active on social media, while others are more wary of potential dangers. Earlier this week, No. 2 pick Marcus Mariota said he won't bother with Twitter or any other online platform.

Winston isn't going to hide. "You can only be yourself. What people put out there on social media is just whatever. But I am just trying to be a better person and live life, and that's all," he said. "I mean social media can help you in so many ways, from a positive standpoint. I can't control what peopleput on social media about me, but I can control my actions and what I do."
