But the greatest thrill of all for the 77-year-old San Andreas native came from being husband to Penny Snyder, who he married on June 11, 1961, seven months after he was drafted by the Army.

"She was beautiful and had a good personality," Ken Snyder said.

He left for Fort Detrick, a chemical warfare post in Frederick, Maryland, in 1961, upon completion ofbasic training at Fort Ord in Monterey.

At Fort Detrick, Snyder developed, made andtested Agent Orange and other germ warfare chemicals.

"My primary job was developing what strength of Agent Orange to use in Vietnam," Ken Snyder said.

A draft traffic study released this week shows several intersec tions and roads in Tuolumne County that need improvements to reduce congestion.

Eight of the 150 roadway sections studied by the Tuolumne County Transportation Council were found to be operatingat below acceptable standards for traffic fiow during peak hours, while 11 of the 41 intersections in the study were substandard as well.

The study will be used in the process of updating the county's Regional Transportation Plan and 25-year General Plan, both of which are slatedforlaterthisyear.

The National Weather Service predicts high temperatures in the upper 90s for the rest of the week. Mother Lode residents should be mindful to avoid heatrelated illnesses. Staying hydrated and cool indoors or wearing wide-brimmed hats and light-weight, loose-fitting clothing outdoors are key to avoiding heat-related health issues, Calaveras County Public Health Officer Dr. Dean Kelaita said in a heat advisory earlier this week. In an effort to beat the heat, Columbia residents play with water Tuesday afternoon.

California law decried after black woman's 'lynching' arrest SACKQKNTO (AP) — When Sacramento police arrested black activist Maile Hampton over her role in a Black Lives Matter protest in January, they didn't charge her with obstructing traffic, trespassing or disturbing the peace.

Io em Josh White, Cal Fire's Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit chief, is again in the news.

This time, his credibility to being questioned in a legal petition filed in Santa Clara County court.

The case involves a land-clearing contractor, Charming P. Verden, who was accused by Cal Fire investigators of negligently starting 2008's Summit Fire, which burned 4,200acres ofland and destroyed 35 homes.

Verden was never charged by the district attorney so he is now filing a rare request with a judge seeking to have himself found "factually innocent."

In the Summit Fire investigation, Cal Fire investigators, including White, determined the blaze was sparked by embersfrom an escaped debris burn pile.

Verden's attorney, Deputy Public Defender Javier Rios, acknowledges Verden was clearing a client's land near Los Gatos.

But, he said, Verden followed legally mandated precautions, permitting and inspection — among other things, creatinga 100-footbufferarea around the pilesofvegetation and placing a water tender on site in the event the fire should escape.

This disproves an allegation of negligence, Rios said.

But Rios also claims White "cherry picked" his evidence to implicate Verden.

He says air temperatures and humidity the day the fire started were unlikely to have allowed an ember, blowing 128 feetto an area determined tobe the point of origin, to actually spark a fire. It was about 80 degrees and the humidity was about 22 percent in the area on May 22, 2008).

The petition also says the wind direction would not have deli vered the spark tothedetermined area oforigin.

White's credibility figures prominently into the petition, which is set to go to court today for a trial-setting hearing.

Rios points to a Plumas County judge's 2014 ruling that found, among other things, White had lied under oath about evidence he collected while investigating 2007's Moonlight Fire, which burned 65,000 acres of land in Plumas.

White concluded that the fire was started by a "friction spark" from a bulldozer working for Sierra Pacific Industries.

However, photo evidence and a map drawn during the investigation contradicted the conclusion. This evidence was omitted from the final investigation report.

Judge Leslie C. Nichols said White concealed information to implicate SPI's contractor and concluded Cal Fire employees and the Attorney General's Office hid and destroyedevidence in an effort to generate a large civil judgment for a secret Cal Fire slush fund.

Generating money for the aforementioned fund also motivated investigators to blame Verden for the Summit Fire, Rios contends in his petition.

Rios said emails to White from his supervisor show he was under pressure to help win civil penalties for the socalled Wildland Fire Investigation Training and Equipment Fund. An email from White's supervisor says the

"WiFiter Fund" was "running in the red" and he was hoping for a "high % recovery."

(A sidenote: Rios alleges the funds collected for the WiFiter were used to spring for "training" junkets in San Diego, Pismo Beach and the wine country.)

It's hard to say the merits of Verden's petition, but it does point to a very conspicuous elephant in the room.

As we' ve pointed out before, White, like the recently reported scandals at Cal Fire's Ione training camp, is damaging Cal Fire's reputation as an upright and professional organization.

While certainly respected by many of his coworkers, and loathed by a handful of former investigators who want him criminally prosecuted, White should resign for everyone's good.

Although California ha s a l most doubled in population since the dam's construction, its politicians apparently decided that completing more northern and Sierra Nevada water projects was passe.

Much of the crisis originates &om poor preparation in grade schools and high schools, combined with huge infiuxes of non-English-speaking immigrants.

In the past, the melting pot of English emersion, assimilation, integration and intermarriage had best helped immigrants quickly reach parity with the native population, but that old model has since been rejected.

The United States likewise has all but ended enforcement of its immigration laws — asiftheideaofopen bordersand culturaldiversity are proper objectives without preplanning for the ensuing education, housing, transportation, health and legal challenges.

Praising"diversity" in the abstract proves to be of little value unless in the concrete people are willing to open their neighborhoods and schools to mentor the millions of impoverished newcomers in their midst.

California taught the nation that taxes can skyrocket — the state has the highest basket of income, sales and gasoline taxes in the nation — even as infrastructure, government services and schools erode.

It established the national precedent of opposing new in&astructure projects and then enjoying them once the planners and builders who were criticized finished them.

California equated a Silicon Valley smartphone in the hand with knowledge in the head — and the nation at large soon produced the most electronically wired and least knowledgeable generation in memory.

We are all Californians now.

Federal judge rules that Alabama counties must allow gay marriage BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — With a handful of Alabama counties still refusing to grant gay marriages even as they issued licenses for straight weddings, a federal judge ruled Wednesday that all must abide by court decisions allowing same-sex unions.

Opposition withered as some counties complied with the decision, and gay marriage advocates said they would ask courts to impose penalties on the holdouts that refuse.

U.S. District Judge Callie Granade of Mobile issued a brieforder saying state probate judges can't discriminate against gay couples since the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled gay marriage is legal everywhere.

Some judges said they were trying to sort out what to do next in the wake of the state court order. A few said they, and their constituents, were

philosophically opposed to same-sex marriage.

"Marriage to me is one man, one woman," said Pike County Probate Judge Wes Allen, who said he was adhering to the law by treating couples equally. Allen shut down marriage operations in February, shortly after Granade ruled the Alabama's same-sex marriage

ban was unconstitutional.

Allen said the feedback he' s receivedfrom constituents has been "overwhelmingly positive."

"Lots ofgreat feedback.

Since February, we j ust made the decision early on that we weren't going to issue any marriage licenses, and we' ve stuck by it and that's what we intend to do."

Alcatraz Island improved by $3 million restoration project "The sally port here on Alcatraz is really the entry point that reveals the layers of history that are preserved here on Alcatraz," said Lehnertz. "This is the original structure on the island. This is the most historic site on the island, the entrance to the experience thatvisitorsseetoday."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — More than a million people visit Alcatraz Island every year to see the shuttered prison sitting in the San Francisco Bay, made famous by Clint Eastwood in the movie about the great escape of three prisonersin the early 1960s.

But these days, the prison, first opened to the public in October 1973, has been showing wear and tear, and some buildings needed new roofs, stabilizing and paint.

After more than a year of work, the National Park Service on Wednesday pulled the tarps off' upgrades at Alcatraz, showing off' $3 million in improvements to the sally port, guardhouse, library, schoolhouse and other historic areas.

The report indicated that only several hundred pounds of the oxide that is the end product had been made. But a U.S. official told the AP the rest of the enriched uranium in the pipeline has been t r ansformed into another form of the oxide that would be even more difficult to reconvert into enriched uranium, which can be turned

On Wednesday, park service officials used giant scissors to cut a wide red, white and blue ribbon held by volunteers dressed in Civil War-era military uniforms. Inside the sally port, a secure controlled entryway, they pulled down a large plastic tarp revealing sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay that had been blocked by a boathouse that was tom down as part of the res-

Expect Yosemite to be slammed Rangers at the Central Sierra region's most popular tourist attraction anticipate thousands of visitors will be in Yosemite for a busy holidayweekend.

"Visitors are urged to arrive at the park very early to avoid potential traffic congestion and difficulties with parking,"Yosemite spokesman Scott Gediman said this week.

Anyone arriving after 9 a.m. can expect delays. On previous weekends, people arriving before 7 a.m. got in the park without waiting.

By 10 a.m., eastbound traffic on the Highway 120 entranceeastofGroveland backed up past Evergreen Road.

"Parking in Yosemite Valley is expected to be especially challenging and visitors should plan accordingly," Gediman said. "Based on past holiday weekends, visitors arriving during peak hours have been delayed for up to two hours in east Yosemite Valley. The park has added approximately 300 new parking spaces west of Yosemite Lodge. However, delays are still expected during the peak times."

Park officials recommend visitors use Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System buses, including those that depart from Tuolumne and Sonora.

Memorial Day weekend is typically the busiest holiday weekend of the year in Yosemite, with up to 60,000 visitors over three days, Gediman said. Statistics show visitation at Yosemite increases each summer and tops out

in July or August, when monthly visitor totals have peaked each year since 1985.

In the late 2000s, Penny Snyder's health began to seriously deteriorate; she required 24-hour care, and travel throughout the region became too difficult. But that didn't stop Snyder from treating his wife out on special occasions. ''We might've went out to dinner for our anniversary or something like that," he said. "Her birthday was Fourth of July, so we would try to take the convertible and go watch fireworks."

In July 2013, the board disbanded all of the county's four design review committees, three area planning commissions and two planning advisorycommittees.

The local planning commissions for Jamestown, Columbia and Southern Tuolumne County — which includes Groveland, Big Oak Flatand Don Pedro — previouslymade recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on proposals involving land use and development in those areas, as well as decisions on conditional-use permits, development permits, site reviewpermitsand variances.

With the 2013 consolidation, that power was centralized to the seven-member Tuolumne County Planning Commission.

"Nobody had a clue. I didn't wear gloves, I didn't wear a mask," Ken Snyder said. "Nobody was aware of the consequences. She'd come in and bring me lunch; there were fumes all over."

When a drum of nuclear waste exploded in New Mexicolastyear,a chemical reaction between organic kitty litter (used to help absorb spills of uranium, plutonium and americium) and the drum's contents was to blame. Seems kitty litter can cause serious health risks!

For some people, the imm ediate hazard is a parasite — Toxoplasma gondii — that lives in the cat's gut. It can infect humans if they touch feces or contaminated material such as kitty litter and accidently ingest it. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 60 million people in the United States are infected, although most don't have obvious symptoms.

The hospital initially went back and forth on what they thought it might be.

"It was exhausting," Wilson Humphries remembered.

By Monday, they got a diagnosis — Acute lymphocytic leukemia, also known as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a typeofcancer ofthe blood and bone marrow.

That was three years ago. In that time, 12-year-old Chylee has undergonechemotherapy and radiation.

She's been admitted to the hospital so many times they' ve lost count.

She's been admitted twice into intensive care.

Chylee started feeling weird and fell during gymnastics in January 2012, while in third grade.

"My legs would really hurt," she said. "My ankles would, not collapse, but feel weak."

Researchers have found that people infected with T. gondii are twice as likely to develop schizophrenia (and perhaps other mental disorders) as those who aren't infected; chances go from 1 in 100 to 2 in 100.

Individuals who may have a geneticpredisposition to develop such disorders are probablybetteroffwithout a cat. But for most cat lovers, there's good news: The parasite doesn't become infectious until one to five days after it has been shed in the animal's feces. So cleaning out the litter box (using gloves) daily should reduce the risks.

CLARIFICATION: Speaking of a nimal r i sks, we wanted to clarify a couple of things we said about pet rabbits a few weeks ago. First, we want to make it clear that we did not say vaccinations are required in North America. Although r a r e, occasionally there are outbreaks of rabbit viral hemorrhagic disease. For example, 25 (unvaccinated)domestic rabbits died from it in Minnesota in 2010, according to the House Rabbit Society.Also,rabbits'spines are delicate, and young children can be too rough, causing fractures.Rabbits are good pets forolder, not younger, children.

Martha Silva, of Sonora, is involved with the Share the Lane forAmy Wayne annual fundraiser.

The fun run/walk is in memory of Amy Wayne, 27, of Sonora, who was killed by a car while jogging early in the morning along Jamestown Road on Oct. 26, 2012.

Wayne was Silva's niece, and the committee was looking for a family or cause to benefit from this year's event, which will be held Oct. 11 in Tuolumne. For more information, visit www.sharethelaneforamywayne.corn.

The committee contacted the family of Elijah Mainville, of Tuolumne, who is battling cancer. The family told Silva that they had received an outpouring of community support already and asked the Wayne group to consider the Humphries family, who had never had any community fundraisers in their honor.

So the group organized a multi-fold plan called "Wheels to Heal" to help the family purchase two reliable vehicles for the frequent commute to the Bay Area.

"They' ve literally broken down on the way to chemo," Silva said.

The first fundraiser was held June 19 and, along with an online campaign, raised $11,300 toward the $30,000 goal, Silva said. The donation site, Wheels to Heal, will be open through Sept.

wheels2heal.

"That family is so giving.

They are always doing fundraisersfor other people, but they' ve never really received anythingfrom a large fundraiser, just small tokens here and there," Silva said.

When Silva, who was with Heidi at Bible study the night Dr. George made his housecall, asked Heidi if she would be willing to be the recipient of afundraiser,"shejuststarted crying," Silva said.

"She said she felt so alone and so forgotten, and now to see how the community has come together, it'sbeen a real lift to their spirits," Silva said.

Heidi agreed.

"It (support) comes in waves, but it's really great right now," she said.

The Wheels to Heal group is also organizing a Fill the Boot campaign with the Sonora Hre Department from Aug. 1 through 21. During the campaign, f i r e f i ghter will place boots at various localstores to collectdonations, Silva said.

The group has also collected a plethora of items they are raffiing off online. The items can be viewed at www.raffieriver.corn by searching Wheels 2 Heal. The ra6le items include $1,000 toward a Yosemite National Park adventure, a Black Oak Casino getaway, golf for four at Palo Alto Hills Golfand Country Club and a handmade wooden bench.

That's because when you're too restrictive and bossy, youngsters never learn se l f -regulation, what "I'm full" feels like or torespect the feeling.

Ironically, obese mom s are the most restrictive

when it comes to their kids' menus.

To encourage even the pickiest toddler to adopt healthy eating habits, strike a balance between rules and relaxation.

The rules: Sit together for family mealtimes at a table; no TV or digital devices allowed. Make basically the same meal for adults and kids, including one food y ou know your child will eat.

Don't make dessert a super-special ending.

The relaxation: L et your toddler decide how much and what foods to eat. You should introduce new flavors to a tod-

dler, but you can't force a child to like them. That will come with time. And the best way to encour-

age healthyeating is to eat healthfully yourself.

"Do as I say, not as I do" backfires, big time.

Ba ehavior coul e si n o health issue DEARANNE: I am gay. Two years ago, my partner of 34 years told me that my brother-in-law had touched her breasts inappropriately. I didn't believe herand we had ahugefi ghtoverit.She never confronted him or told my sister, and she has continued to socialize with my family.

Last weekend, we attended my niece's graduation, and much to my horror, my brother-in-law rubbed his hand across my butt. Worse, I then had to get into the same car with him. I was shocked and said nothing, even though I was terribly upset. I avoided him the rest of the weekend, but things haven' t been quite right since.

A year ago, I moved to another state and spend vacations with my sister and her family, either in her home or mine.

Now I'm not sure I should continue.

I do not understand why he did this or what to do. Was it an act of power or hate or some kind of midlife crisis? This is my sister's husband, whom I have

Annie's

~ I Mailbox respected through the years. I now doubt everything about him, including his fidelity to my sister, his morals and

whether he has touched other females in the family.

I am close to mysister and don't want to hurt her. We are not young anymore and don't have a tremendous amount of time left to be near each other. But I am not comfortable with the idea of staying in the same house with him. How do I explain that to my sister without causing more harm? —CONFUSED AND ANGRY DEAR CONFUSED: There is another possibility. Sometimes, sudden and peculiar changes in behavior or a loss of inhibition can indicate a medical problem, including a small stroke or early

signs of dementia. In aH the years you have known him, your brother-in-law has never behaved this way toward you.

Please talk to your sister. Say that you' ve noticed some disturbing changes in your brother-inlaw's recent behavior and that you worry hemay have some physical or neurological problems. You will have to tell her what you mean, but do so with concern and caring, instead ofaccusations and condemnation. Suggest to her that she get him to8 doctor forwork-up.

DEAR ANNK: This is for "Had Enough, Thanks," the 68-year-old woman whose husband still wants to have sex, but she isn't interested. I have the opposite problem.

My husband is in his late 60s, and I am 10 years younger.We have only been married for five years, and he has had no interest in sex or any other type of physical intimacy. He even told me

that he has no need for this anymore and could easily live the rest of his life without it. This has caused extreme problems, asI stillhave a strong need and desire for marital intimacy.

Though I truly love him, it is almost m ore than Ican bearto face therestof my life with virtually no human touch.

— MARRKED, LIVING ALONE DEAR MARRll I:D: We' re certain a lot of women wiH tell you that in 8 few years, you may feel the same way your husband does, but that's not necessarily true. And in the meantime, you are miserable.

Is your husband wiHing to discuss this with hi8 doctor or a counselor?

If not, counseling might help.

If it doesn' t, then looking for another cause is indicated.

There are non-infectious causes of the burning sensation. Post-menopausal women can get atrophy, which usually is treated with topical estrogen.

Interstitial cystitis is a possibility, and the symptoms in IC usually are temporarily relieved by voiding. Concentrated urine, small stones and trauma also can cause burning sensation. However, a posit ive dipstick indicates the presence of white blood cells in the urine, so I think infection, interstitial cystitis and stones are the most likely possibilities.

ANSWER: The urine dipstick in the doctor's office looks for an enzyme made by white blood cells in the urine, whereasthe lab looks for the bacteria themselves. Your situation is not uncommon,and thereareseveralpossible reasons why this might happen.

A modern duplicate player sitting West South West N orth E a st would respond with a pre-emptive three fY hearts, showing four trumps but limited 2Y 3Y Pass high-card power. With game-invitational 34 Pass P a s s Pass or better values, he would make a twospade cue-bid raise — exactly as North did with his three-heart cue-bid. South, with a weakish balanced hand, signed off in three spades.

For East, holding the heart ace, it looks obvious to encourage a heart continuation by signaling with his nine. But first he should ask from where his side might get five tricks. There are only two available in hearts, but perhaps three can be corralled in clubs. However, to do that, West will have to lead clubs twice through dummy's king. So, at trick one, East must discourage by dropping his heart two.

Then, as you can see, if West shifts to the club three, the defenders can triumph.

East wins with his club jack and plays a low heart to his partner's queen. Then another club lead gives East-West the first five tricks.

US draws best WCup semiTinal audienaeever NEWYORK (AP)The United States' win over Germany is the most-watched men's or women' s WorldC p semifinal ever on American television.

The 2-0 victory by the No. 2 U.S. over the No. 1 Germans on Tuesday night averaged BA million viewers on Fox. The network said Wednesday the previous high was 5.9 million for the 2006 men's semifinal between Germany and Italy.

The audience was up 47 percent from the 5.7 million for the Americans' quarterfinal against China on Friday night.

And it was more than double the 3.4 million for the Americans' semifinal in 2011, which was played during the day in the U.S. with the tournament in Germany.

Sunday's final is also in prime time, giving it a chance to surpass the record of nearly 18 million viewers for the 1999 Women's World Cup final that was played in the U.S.

THE UN' DEMO CRAT

The U.S. is 24-1-6 against Japan.

Four years ago in Germany, Japan defeated the United States on penalty kicks after a 2-aH draw for its first World Cup title.

"In order to be the best team in the world at the World Cup, you have to beat the best teams," Abby Wambach said. "We just beat the No. 1 team in the world in Germany and now we face Japan, another team that we have so much respect for. They have an amazing team and they' re the reigning World Cup champions, so I think it's going to be a fantastic final. Everyone will have to bring their "A" game, and whoever finishes their chances the most will come out on top. Hopefully it will be us."

The U.S. women have won two World Cups, but the last championship came in 1999. This will be the team's fourth appearance in the final.

The team's success so far in the tournament has been boosted not only by Solo's spectacular work in goal but by a steHar backline of Meghan Klingenberg, Becky Sauerbrunn, Julie Johnston and Ali Krieger.

The United States has gone 513 minutes without conceding a goal. Only Australia, in the first half of the groupstage opener, has managed to score

Hopefully it will be us."

The United States is 24-1-6 against Japan. The 2011title game ended 2-2 and the Japanese won their first world title on penalty kicks.

"I think it's fantastic," U.S. coach Jill Ellis said. "These are two talented teams with a lot of history and rivalry, and I think it will be a classic matchup. Both teams have a lot of the same players from 2011, but that said, this is a different team on a different journey, and I know all 23 players and our staff are tremendously excited for this next challenge."

U.S. defender Ali Krieger likes the way her squad is performing heading into the final. The Americans have played, by far, their best soccer in their last two matches, w insoverChina and Germany.

"I'm excited," Krieger said. "It's somewhat of a rematch from four years ago, but you want to play the best teams and Japan proved themselves in the other side of the bracket.you always want a great game in the final, and that's why we are here.

(AP) — Bring it on.

That's how the U.S. women's soccer team reacted Wednesday night to learning that Japan would be the opponent in the World Cup final.

The Americans beat Germany 2-0 on Tuesdayto reach thechampionship game.Japan defeated England 2-1on a late own goal. The rematch of the 2011 final won by Japan on penalty kicks is Sunday in Vancouver.

"In order to be the best team in the world at the World Cup, you have to beat the best teams," star forward Abby Wambach said. "We just beat the No. 1 team in the world in Germany and now we face Japan, another team that we have so muchrespectfor.They have an amazing team and they' re the reigning World Cup champions, so I think it's going to be a fantastic final.

Solo has talked about her play via videos released by U.S. Soccer.

'Tve said it aH along, that you have a young player like Julie Johnston, who was ready for the big stage. She was readyforthis type oftournament, she's come a long way in the last year.

You put her besides somebody as calm as Becky Sauerbrunn and it makes the perfect mix,"Solo said."Obviously our wingers are incredible."

Johnston, who made just three appearances with the national team last

year beforeemerging as a starter in matches leading up to the World Cup, has undeniably been a success story in the tournament. But she admittedly made a mistake in Tuesday's match when shefouled Germany's Alexandra Popp inside the box in the 59th minute.

It was a foul that could have garnered her a red card.

But Celia Sasic, the World Cup's top scorerwith six goals,missed thepenalty kick wide. The United States went on to score twice, on Carli Lloyd's penalty kick and KeHey O'Hara's late goal.

Coke quotes

COKE Continued from PageCl

On helping younger players I want to do everything I can to help create a fluidity with the guys. The more fluidity you have, the greater chances of success you have. The greater chances of success the greater your chances are to move forward.

The more you move forward, then ultimately you will realize your dream of playing in the big leagues. To be in a position to handout ideas and thought processes and overall body m echanics and see what they do with them, it's really cool to watch the results and see the light come on with the kids.

If they have questions I try to provide the best answers I can.

Coke, 32, began the season pitching for the Chicago Cubs and new manager Joe Maddon. Coke appeared in 16 games and had a 6.30 era.

In mid May, he was designated for assignment by Chicago and for the husband and father of two, the timing could not have been worse.

"When we went out there with the Cubbies, we found that it was cheaper to buy than to rent," Coke said. "So we bought a house and six weeks later I found out on a Thursday that we closed on the house, and Sunday I got DFA'd by the Cubs. It was an interesting moment."

It wasn't a lack of production on the field that was the reason the Cubs parted ways with Coke, rather than the numbers game and he was the odd man out.

"We moved astarter to the pen and that gave us four lefthanders in the pen and I guess that was too many," Coke said. "On the same token, I'm looking at it like,

the other side of the field and you' re not going to like it."

Coke didn't remain a free agent for long. There were numerous teams interested

in the hard throwing lefty.

The Toronto Blue Jays made the strongest offer, and Coke agreed to return to the American League East where he won a World Series with the New York Yankees, and suited up for the Jays.

He only pitched 2 2/3 innings in two games for Toronto. Aside from one home run, Coke didn't allow a base

"They told me that they were going to give me every opportunity to get as many innings as possible when I signed, which is why I signed there," Coke said. "They told me that I wasn't going to be in a specialist role and that I would geta lot of opportunities. That aH sounded great, grand, and wonderful, and inthe grand scheme of things that is what you want to have. You want to have an opportunity to showcase your skills and an opportunity for the win and make sure the ball passes to the next guy and finishes out the game, whatever role that may be.

I just know that I showed up ready and I got to watch a lot of baseball games in a big league bullpen. I pitched twice in a 10-day time frame, and that was it. AH of a sudden, they were telling me, 'Hey man, we' ll see you later.'

That's fine. I' ll take my services elsewhere."

After two appearances, the Blue Jays informed Coke that they sending him back down to Triple-A Buffalo. The eight year veteran declined the demotion and once again tested

As far as I know, I'm a bullpen guy. There hasn't been any discussion. Do I have the ability?

As a competitor then answer is 100% yes. As far as the mentality, I think I have allowed myself to be a lot more geared towards the bullpen. But that was some of the thoughts and feelings that I was battling when I was starting in 2011. What made my starting career in the big leagues so short was I was I was fighting through those, young bull, old bull feelings.

again fighting for Coke were the San Diego Padres and the A' s. The opportunity to play so close to hometown Sonora was too much to pass up.

"I don't typically use the cliche like 'I'm blessed' very often, but honestly, I really do feel that way," Coke said. "I feelthat I have been blessed to have the opportunities that I' ve had. Whether I' ve had to create them for myself, or I was allowed the opportunity to play against the Giants in the World Series. I was able to perform and do my job to the best of my ability at the highest levels. I honestly feel very blessed and very thankful for those opportunities.

To say it's aH part of the job, I mean, we' re people. We are not machines. The human element is always there. For me to be in high Single-A in the Oakland A's organization, so close to home ishonestly a blessing."

Coke is working on little things to make sure he is ready when he gets the call from the big club. Numbers

Coke said. "I was throwing in the pen earlier, and the pitching coach was asking what he should be looking for. I told him that if I'm not standing tall, then I'm not getting around it in the front. If I don't stay on my backside and allow my arm to work in the back, I'm going to be around it in the front and I'm not going to be throwing strikes. I know that about myself and to be able to sit here and say that is a crazy, full circle experience for me. Especially in high school, I couldn't have told you what I was doing out there. It was see glove, throw hard."

It's a rare occasion when a player gets picked up from freeagency and immediately gets put on a 25-man roster.

Coke's tenure in the minor leagues allows Oakland some time to figure out what they are going to do with specific players to eventually open up a roster spot. Until then,

Coke will play the waiting game. While not in the majors, he will fill his time in are not as important as mak- Stockton to help groom fuing sure his mechanics are ture big leaguers.

"I try to do the best I can perfect.

"It's aH about getting reps," to provide the most feedback

I can," Coke said. 'When I see something that looks like it could be an issue, I try to start a dialog, and with a dialog comes an ability to talk about cretin ideologies within the mechanics of pitching. AH the guys on the team are very receptive."

"He seems to be highly energized and he is motivated and willing to reach out and embrace the young players and share his experiences with them," said Ports manager Rick Magnante.

"We can always benefit from

having a big leaguer around the younger guys. You would think that it would be a huge advantageforustohave abig leagueron our staff,regardless of how long he is here. He can help us win on the field, and help us win in the clubhouse."

As the Ports took on the San Jose Giants Tuesday night at Banner Island Ballpark in Stockton, Coke watched the game from the left field bullpen. He didn't spend his time isolated from younger teammates, rather, he w as

giving free pitching lessons to aH who were willing to learn.

Pitcher Sam Roberts, 26, was

one of Coke's pupils, and he walked away with a n ew pitch to his repertoire. ''We were playing catch and he asked me to throw him a breaking ball, so I did," Roberts said. "It wasn't very good andhe taught me a few things about a cutter. I threw it and it looked a lot better and hopefully I can continue to make an improvement to the pitch. It is a great experience for each pitcher to have Phil around. He brings a ton of experienceto the bullpen and he's been great helping each and every one of us."

As Coke continued to teach the young pitchers, he was positive and intense. He could be heard saying, "trust yourself," and "that was a nasty pitch." When he was finished with his teaching lesson, he looked to fans who were taking it in and said with a Cheshire Cat grin, "That's how easy this stuff is."

Coke still has plenty of tread on his major league tires, but when he says goodbye from the game, he has the attitude, knowledge, and drivetobea successful pitching coach.

"I think it would be really fun," Coke said. But the only thing that really scares me about being a pitching coach is aH the paperwork that goes hand-in-hand with it.

But there is no paperwork if you are doing it on the side at home. I would love to have the opportunity to help kids learn solid mechanics to keep from hurting themselves. It would be awesome."

He already has a glowing

"I think he would make an excellent pitching coach," Roberts said. "He's very helpful and ever since he came here he has worked with everyone about anything and everything. He lets us know how things work in the big leaguesas wellastheme ntal side of the game."

But right now, becoming a pitching coach is the last thing on Coke's mind. He pitched an inning of relief Tuesday night with his fastball in the mid 90's.

"It's so much fun," Coke said. "I relish the opportunity because you don't know when this ride is going to end. I'm thankful for every opportunity I have been given. I love to compete and that's probably why I' ve bounced around. The teams that I' ve signed with know that I'm a competitor."

While Coke is pitching in Stockton, he stays in a team hotel in Lodi. He visits Sonora anytime he has the opportunity, and hopes to remain playing in Northern California for aslong aspossible. For the first time in his career, Coke is safe at home.

"It's so different, but nice playing in California," Coke said. "I have a comforting feeling being so close to home.

It's only an hour away, it's an easy drive and I will gladly make it whenever I have the opportunity. To be totally honest, thefactthatIam soclose to home, I don't think there is a better situation I could ask for. To play in front of a hometown crowd ispretty special and I'mhonored to have the opportunity."

BRIEFS Redskins' name hinders DC's efforts for stadium site lease

Butler triples; Hahn, A's get past Rockies

WASHINGTON (AP)The National Park Service won't grant the District of Columbia a new lease for the site of the Washington Reiskins' old stadium in part because Interior Secretary Sally Jewell opposes the team's name.

Jewell reiterated that position during a meeting in late April with Mayor Muriel Bowser, Interior Department spokeswoman Jessica Kershaw said.

Bowser's administration has been in preliminary talks with the Redskins about moving the team back to Washington and building a new stadium.

The team currently plays its home games at FeKx Field in Landover, Mar yland,but the Redskins'lease there expires in 2026.

The Redskins previously played at RFK Stadium in Washington. The stadium sits on land owned by the National Park Service that is leased to the city. The lease expires in 22 years. The city

OAKLAND (AP) — Billy Butler's first triple in nearly three years was the talk of the clubhouse.

Butler also singled, Jesse Hahn pitched six solid innings and the Oakland Athletics beat the Colorado Rockies 4-1 on Wednesday.

"I was a little out ofbreath," Butler said. "The only way I'm getting a triple — I'm glad he's all right — is if he goes down. The only thing I thought about was it took away from my doubles total."

A's manager Bob Melvin said it was an unusual way to startthe offense.

"It's probably going to be the only triple we see out of him this year," Melvin said.

Hahn (6-6) improved to 4-1 over hislast six starts after giving up one run on four hits.

He walked two and struck out

Butler, Josh Reddick, Mark Canha and Eric Sogard drove in runs as the A's won the series. Billy Burns added two hitsand scored twice.

Chad Bettis (4-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings. Nolan Arenado went O-for-4, ending his 17-game hitting streak. Carlos Gonzalez recorded his 14th multiple hit game.

Kershaw said the depart-

Ingredients in place for exciting Tour PARIS (AP) — The Tour de France is like a good bouillabaisse, the traditional Mediterranean seafood stew. Take out one ingredient, and it does not tastethe same.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

SPEED FREAKS

THINGS WE LEARNED AT SONOMA

A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Excited to see NBC take over?

ROB'S RAMBLING: Of course. Jeff Burton, Kyle Petty, Dale Jarrett as announcers ... it's like an

a I I-star line u p of former

JARED C.TILTON/GETTY IMAGES

drivers Ken's age.

KEN'S CALL: Not sure, but excited to be rid of boogityboogity for six months.

What should we expect from Jeff Gordon's final Daytona race?

ROB'S RAMBLING: Days of hype, race day of hype, first 20 laps of hype and hopefully Victory Lane hype.

KEN'S CALL: He's so happy to put plate-racin' behind him, the only guarantee is that he' ll be first to the airport after the checkers.

Any chance that the "fix" is in for Jeff?

ROB'S RAMBLING: I' ve been labeled a conspiracy theorist so many times I think it's a conspiracy, and even I don't buy a scripted finish.

KEN'S CALL: Aside from "forgetting" to give him a restrictor plate, there are too many moving parts for a scripted finish.

NASCAR chair Brian France has called for the 'insensitive symbol' of the Confederate flag to be eliminated at races.

Some of the base, yes. But it's better to call the Confederate flag an "offensive symbol,"as France did,and lose some more of the old-school, Deep South base, than be perceived by Corporate America as out of touch with the current social and political climate. The "base" had already been bloodied by the losses of North Wilkesboro and Rockingham (not to mention the arrival of Toyota).

Kyle Busch celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday.

1. Kyle legs out a win

2. Brother Kurt on the real roll

3. J u ry still out on D i l l on

Not sure if the two are related, but Sunday's victory may signal Kyle Busch's leg and foot are getting better.

You pretty much knew it was just a matter of time until he got a victory. He's not Chase eligible yet (37th in points), but fear not, he' ll get there.

The last two weeks, Kurt Busch has pulled a miniKevin Harvick: two races, two top-2s. Kurt came up just short to Kyle at Sonoma after picking up his second win of the season the week before at Michigan. He also has three straight top-5s.

We' ll have to wait to see if putting Slugger Labbe atop Austin Dillon's pit box was a good move. Dil lon'sSonoma finish (17th) was just slightly above his average finish for the season (23rd), but was his second-best finish in the last eight races.

Purely political moveP Listen, you can't become an Officially Licensed Cynic unless you initially assume EVERYTHING is politically motivated. This was also a bit of social awareness. NASCAR has done it before.

EthanolP Yep, ethanol. NASCAR has spent a ton of resources in playing the modern "green game," largely through its promotion of ethanol, which, best I can tell, is mostly responsible for padding the bottom lines of corn farmers, small-engine repairmen and the Iowa political class.

THINGS TO WATCH FEUD OF THE WEEK

@nascardaytona

1. Gordon's Daytona finale

FEEDBACK Questions? Contact Ken Willis at ken.willis@news-jrnl.corn

He could exit Daytona on Lap 3 and his name still will be mentioned more than the winner. All eyes will be on JeffGordon's Daytona swan song, and not just his fans'.

Even the non-Gordons may be rooting for the No. 24 to reach Victory Lane.

2. The next best thing

MARTIN TRUEX VS. DAVID RAGAN: After a bunch of sheet-metal slugging, Ragan sent Truex into the tire wall at Sonoma. Truex suggested Ragan "probably has one coming."

Well that would be Junior, of course. A battle to the wire between Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr.? Can you picture it? Here's how the two stack up going into the race: Gordon has six wins, 13 top-5s and 20 top-10s; Junior has three wins, 11 top-5s and 17 top-lOs.

KEN WILLIS' TAKE: No paybacks at Daytona without igniting the Big One. Be patient, hoss.

3. Tony's time?

This is Tony Stewart's place. He leads all active Cup drivers with four wins in the summer Daytona race and has the fourth-best driver rating here. But it's getting really hard to pick him, even after his 12th-place finish Sunday.
