It was used to cover the casket of her uncle, David Morrissey, at his funeral in 1972. "It's your typical service flag," Mary Morrissey said. "It's a beautiful flag though, gorgeous material."

Morrissey said she doesn't know much about her uncle's service during the war, other than that he was a private in the U.S. Army and didn't serve overseas. David Morrissey moved to the area from Chicago about the same time as

On Wednesday, the potential for stormscould increase as theafternoon progresses into the evening, with a slight chance of thunder and lightning throughout both counties. Areas in the east, such as Arnold and Mi-Wuk Village might experience a higher potential for stormy weather. On Thursday, the weather will begin to resolve itself. However, areas such as Murphys and MiWuk Village and eastward could still have a probability for stormy weather. Although lightning can pose a serious fire threat in areas with many combustible surfaces, the rainfall that comes with a storm

can help limit the area of damage. The rainfall has helped contain the fires, Kurth said. A lot of fires in Northern California have been small; there's more moisture in the area. That makes the fires smaller — mostly under 100 acres. Although the fires have not burned large amounts of acreage recently, it can be wise to prepare an emergency kit containing

important documentation, vital medicines, clean drinking water and some snacks. "The emergencykitshould have enough to cover you until you get into an evacuation center," Williams said. "Centers don't start right away; there can be a lag time. It depends on the incident."

major accidents handled by the CHP last week and over the weekend — was reported to the CHP in San Andreas just before midnight Wednesday. Officers on scene determined the woman, driving a 2005 Subaru Outback, was travelling along Highway 4 east of Black Springs Road when she apparently lost control of the car and traveled down a steep and rocky embankment, rolling over and striking a tree. The woman was found wearing her seat belt. She and her dog both died in the wreck, however. The cause, time and date of this wreck are still under investigation. The woman' s

oun nee sown annin commis In years past, we' ve questioned the value of Tuolumne County's grand jury reports — often vague, passive or, like the 2013 jury's report finding of no wrongdoing at Columbia Elementary, just silly. But this year's report hit a few nails on the head. The first is the jury's recommendation that the county Board of Supervisors revive the Southern Tuolumne County Planning Commission. The board in 2013 dissolved the county's three regional planning commissions, four design review committees and two planning advisory committees saying, correctly, that the hodgepodge of boards was cumbersome and costly (about $125,000 a year). Besides, aren't planning issues like use permits and zoning generally interrelated? We are, after all, all covered by the General Plan — the county's long-range, master plan for all issues development related. Why not just have one countywide Planning Commission?

Groveland and environs are actually like another world.

The area is separated &om the rest of the county by a large lake and river (Don Pedro and the Tuolumne), has di8erent main highways than the rest of the county (120 instead of 108 and 49), a different water supplier (Hetch Hetchy and Groveland Community Service District, instead of Tuolumne Utilities District), and a distinctly different groupingofschools and feeders. The jury this year recognized this difference in suggesting the South County Planning Commission alone be resurrected. It would cost the county about $17,000. But we think allowing south county residents more say in planning decision for their unique neck of the woods outweighs the cost. A final decision rests with county Board of Supervisors. Another topic taken up by the jury: The Columbia Fire Protection District. This year's jury report recommends the district conduct LiveScan background checks for all employees and volunteers. Such background checks are common for many types of government employees and helps ensure public safety. The recommendation to the Columbia board is hardly surprisi ng,asthedistricthasfeatured intopastjury reports. Two years back, the jury accused the district of mismanagement,which became abundantly apparent when the former fire chief wound up in jail for allegedly embezzling money. Randall Allan Nickley pleaded guilty in 2013 to misappropriation of public funds and was sentenced to six months in Tuolumne County Jail and five years of probation. He was also fined $6,012. The grand jury that year suggested the three-member board of directors should improve and update policies,procedures and oversight to improve business practices. "Administrative practices are conspicuously missing in m any crit icalareas,"thereportstates. The background checks would be another important step in repairing the district's reputation and the board should follow through. Now, if only the Columbia Elementary board would get its act cleaned up. Note: Thanks are also due this year' sjurors, for their time and ejj"ort. Thejury ta composed of 19 appointedcommunity members who work hundreds hours — and are paid peanuts — researching the performance of local agencies, investigat-

ing citizens' complaints and making recommendations for improvements or reforms.

YOUR VIEWS The Confederateflag stoodfor slavery To the Editor: In response to Wally George's letter regarding the issues surrounding the status of the Confederate Flag, there needs to be some clarification and corrections regarding the issues he stated supporting his position. In stating that the Confederate States of America represented "a simple, God-fearing way of life for a peoplethat did notoptfor industrialism, colonial law (what ever that means) or a centralized religion..." he ignores the fact of the horror of slavery. The fact that human beings could, and were being bought and sold with no rights was being threatened by a "new order" in the North.

Slavery was not a social issue, but rathera practicethatwas evilin every way. While it is true that a small percentage of Southerners were slave holders, it is the fact of slavery that was the overriding issue which heavily defined the Southern Way of Life. In the late 1850s, the Republican Party was created in the North, and by 1858 it was dominating the Congress, and laws were being passed that would threaten the spreadingofslavery to the rest of the nation, especially the new territories and states in the West. With Lincoln's election in March of 1861,the die was cast, and southern states began to join together in a coalition to oppose the Federal Government which led to the firing upon Fort Sumter. The Confederate States had attacked the United States — not the other

way around. And the Confederate flag came to represent that attack on our nation and the horror that followed. What is not said in Mr. George' s letter was that fact that the North did not demand the end of slavery where it existed. That would come later.

os se ae women orsex PHILADELPHIA (AP)Bill Cosby admitted in 2005 that he secured quaaludes with the intent of giving them to young women he

depositionin a sexual-abuse case filed by former Temple University employee Andrea Constand, the first of a cascade of lawsuits against him that have severely damaged his good-guy image. Cosby's lawyers had objectedto the release of the material, arguing it would embarrass him. Ultimately, a judge unsealed just a small portion of the deposition. "The stark contrast between Bill Cosby, the public moralist and Bill Cosby, the subject of serious allegations concerning improper (and perhaps criminal) conduct is a matter as to which the AP — and by extension the public — has a significant interest," U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno wrote. Cosby, with hi s o f t-es-

that he gave the sedative to at least one woman and "otherpeople, " according to documents obtained Monday by The Associated Press. Cosby's lawyers insisted that two of the accusers knew

they were taking quaaludes from the comedian, according to the unsealed documents. Nevertheless, attorneys for some of the numerous women

suing Cosby seized on the testimony as powerful corroboration of what they have been saying all along: that he drugged and raped women. The AP had gone to court to compelthe release of a

poused views on topics including childrearing, family life, education and crime,"has voluntarily narrowed the zone of privacy that he is entitled to claim," the judge wrote. Cosby, who starred as Dr. Cliff Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show" from 1984 to 1992, settled Constand's lawsuit under confidential terms in 2006. His lawyers in the Philadelphia case did not immediately return telephone calls seeking comment on Monday. Constand consented to be identified but did not want to comment, her lawyer said. "This evidence shows a pattern in which defendant 'mentored' naiveyoung women and introduced drugs into the relationship, with and without the woman's knowledge, in order for him to

achievesexual satisfaction," Constand's lawyer, Dolores M. Troiani, argued in court papers. Cosby, 77, has been accused by more than two dozen women of sexual misconduct in episodes dating back more than four decades. Cosby has never been charged with a crime, and the statute of limitations on most of the accusations has expired. "Iftoday's report is true, Mr. Cosby admitted under oath 10 years ago sedating women for sexual purposes," said Lisa Bloom, attorney for model Janice Dickinson, who says she was drugged and raped."Given that,how dare he publicly vilify Ms. Dickinson and accuse her of lying when she tells a very similar story?"

SF status as'sanctuary'now criticized SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The killing of a woman at a sightseeing pier has brought criticism down on this liberal city because the Mexican man under arrest was in the U.S. illegally, had been deported five times and was out on the

streets after San Francisco officials disregarded arequest from immigration authorities to keep him locked up. San Francisco is one of dozens of cities and counties across the country that

do not fully cooperate with federal immigration authorities. The city goes so far asto promote itselfasa "sanctuary" for people in the country illegally. In a jailhouse interview with a TV station, Francisco Sanchez, the 45-yearold repeat drug offender arrested in the shooting Wednesday of Kathryn Steinle, appeared to confirm that he came to the citybecause ofitsstatusasa sanctuary.

Prosecutors on Monday charged Sanchez with murder as San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi strongly defended his office's release of Sanchez and pointed the finger back at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He said the federal agency should have issued an arrest warrant for Sanchez. "ICE knew thathe had been deported five times," Mirkarimi said. 'You would have thought he met a thresholdthat he required a court order or a warrant. They did not do that." The case has prompted a flurry of criticism from ICE officials, politicians and commenters on social media, all of whom portrayed the slaying as a preventable tragedy. "Most of the blame should fall squarely on the shoulders of the San

Francisco sheriff, because his department had custodyof him and made the choice to let him go without notifying ICE," said Jessica Vaughan, directorofpolicy studies attheWashington-based Center for Immigration Studies, which wants tougher immigration enforcement. Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Virginia Republican who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, blamed sanctuary practices and the Obama administration, saying: "The tragic murder of Kate Steinle once again underscores the need to end these reckless policies." Mayor Ed Lee issued a statement saying city policy was never intended to protect"repeat, serious and violent

Egypt Crude oil tumbles 8 percent; points to low gas prices this fall pushes NEW YORK (AP) — A slew of global economic and geopolit icalfactors are working to p ummel the price of oil and set up U.S. drivers for very low gasoline prices later this year. The price of U.S. crude dropped 7.7 percent Monday to close at $52.53 a barrel and is now down nearly 15 percent from the high

Trump standson his immigrant comment NEW YORK — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stood firm Monday on his description of Mexican immigrants as criminals. The businessman, under

fire from critics in and out of hisparty,issued a lengthy statement refusing to back off comments he made in the speech launching his presidential bid last month. In it, he called Mexican immigrant criminals and rapists, promptingseveral businesses, including NBC, Univision and Macy's, to cut ties with Truiilp.

In hi s n e w s t atement, Trump said "the Mexican government is forcing their most unwanted people into the United S t ates" and claimed that in many cases, they are "criminals, drug dealers, rapists,etc." He said later Monday, during a charity golf tournament at oneofhiscourses,thathis standing in some polls is proof that many Americans share his views. "I think the polls are a testament," said Trump, one of more than adozen Republicans running for president. "In the old days, they used to use a term, 'the silent majority.' We have the silent majority back, folks."

CHABOT Continued from Page Al "What can you do in a small town...sell life insurance, or go into teaching," said the 57-year-old who moved to Sonora with his wife and young children two decades ago. Chabot said the foothill community was a safer place to raise his three daughters, than Los Angeles, where he was working in the aerospace industry. Chabot worked in the industry for 12 years and had to figure away to protect equipment from shock, vibration, moisture and corrosion during shipping. In 1993, he and wife Karen bought a home in east Sonora and Chabot took a job as a math teacher at Sonora High School. The couple live in the same house and were remodeling the home Monday with no plans to leave the area.

"He never got marriedand was kind of a loner.He was the family character." Mary Morrissey is a retired teacher who worked at Curtis Creek and Sullivan Creek elementary schoolsfor 21 years. She has lived on Camino Del Parque Road South since 1978, and never before had a problem with theft or burglary. "This ismy street and itfeels like anassault for somebody to do this," she said.

The only other time Morrissey displayed the flag was in her backyard during a family gathering in 1988. Morrisseysaid she contacted the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office to report the flag's theft.

since we moved into the area almost

40 years ago. Whether it was our honeymoon stay there decades ago, or its nearby old style Italian restaurants, it seemed we regularly made a number of trips to this wellpreserved gold rush region. With nearby Jackson taking the brunt of the sprawling commercial growth and eventually a bypass eliminating the usual downtown drive thru on the way to the Amador wine country, Sutter Creek is back to its quiet, almost secret getaway, reminiscent of years ago. But with one new attraction; seven win-

ery tasting rooms in the heart of this historic mining town. Several weeks ago we made a point of returning to this sweet town to check out

Sides of onion marmalade can add flavor to many hot weather recipes and can be pre-made.

Onion marmalade is a savory addition to summer By DIANE ROSSEN WORTHINGTON Tnbune Content Agency

Come summertime, onion marmalade is a condiment that I use in many dishes. My Seriously Simple motto is: Seek out maximum flavor and spend minimum time in the kitchen. Even though it takes some time to cook this marmalade, you will have it on hand for a variety of different dishes. It can take the place of traditional sauces, like ketchup or mustard, or can be an extra layer of flavor in a sauce or dip.

Onion Marmalade Makes about 1 1/2 cups This recipe may be doubled or tripled. Just make sure to use a large, deep casserole dish to accommodate the larger amount of onions.

1/4 cup olive oil 4 large yellow, red or Maui (or a combination) onions, thinly sliced 3/4 cup red wine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon sugar tersweet flavor. Salt and freshly ground white pepper I like throwing in pitted and finely chopped black Makes about 1 1/2 cups There is a lot of room for you to personalize this favorenhancer.Feelfreeto add a few sprigsofrosei mary or thyme. You can also choose your favorite onion varieties like Maui, yellow or red onions. Use port or beer instead of the balsamic and wine. (Just keep the same proportions in the recipe.) Add shredded Belgian endive or fennel for a slightly bitor green olives to add an earthy taste. You can keep this for a month in your refrigerator.

Here are 11 ways to use onion marmalade: 1. Glaze grilled steaks with a thin layer; then slice the steaks. 2. Spreada tablespoon on the bread for a better grilled cheese. 3. Serveas an accompaniment togrilled sausages, pork tenderloin, veal chops and tri-tip steak. 4. Sti r a tablespoon into scrambled eggs. 5. Use as a filling in omelets, frittatas and in dips. 6. Topsliced toasted baguettes with goat cheese, blue cheese or brie and marmalade 7. Use as a stuSng for chicken breasts or pork chops. 8.Add toground turkey forjuicy burgers. 9. Top sauteed scallops with a teaspoon of marmalade and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. 10.Add to cooked vegetables like green beans, spinach, broccoli or caulifiower. 11. Use as a topping on pizza.

1. Heat oil in large, non-aluminum casserole dish on medium high heat. Add the onions and saute for about12 to15 minutes or until well softened. Stir frequently. 2. Add the wine, balsamic vinegar and sugar to the onions and simmer on low heat until almost all of the liquid has evaporated and the onions are very tender and caramelized into a deep golden brown, about 30 minutes. Watch carefully toward the end to avoid burning the onions. Add the salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning. Cool and serve at room temperature. Advance Preparation: May be prepared up to a month ahead, covered in an airtight container and refrigerated.

this group of properties who call themselves Wine On 49. 'We realized we are stronger as a team rather than compete with one another," offered Ann Kraemer, owner and winemaker at Yorba Wines. Ann is also a renowned viticulturist who has gained national recognition for her nearby Shake Ridge Ranch Vineyard. Her fruit is sourced by several local wineries as well as a few highly acclaimed Napa and Sonoma operations. But you can taste her wines just off the Main Street in Sutter Creek and hopefully they will be pouring their Tempranillo or if you are lucky, her very low production 2013 Yorba Greco di Tufo, an important white grape found in southern Italy. But for some reason the BATF, who approves labels, would not let Ann call it Greco di Tufo, so you will have to look for her Greco di Oro. It is a wonderful dry mineral driven white that shows why her vineyard is so special. Speaking of whites, don't miss stopping by BellaGrace on Main Street, which is located in an historic house in the center of town. Sourced from their nearbyvineyard,their 2014 Sauvignon Blanc had just the right dose of lemon and lime aromatics that gave way to terrific ripe pear fruit in the fiavors that finished crisp and clean. As part of a special wine and food pairing offering that day, nearby Taste Restaurant and Sutter Creek's own new Element Restaurant provided bits and the Sauvignon Blanc matched perfectly with a Goat Cheese Tartlet garnished with a cucumber salad. The BellaGrace 2014 White Rhone Blend is also not to be missed. A Best of Class of Region" winner at last month's 2015 CA State Fair, it is a blend of 41 percent Grenache Blanc, 34 percent Vermentino, and 25 percent Roussanne.

A few doors down we stopped in at Le Mulct Rouge where their Grenache Blush was a full bodied rose that was rich but not overbearing and finished dry.We also tasted their 2012 CaberSee WINE / Page B6

A eal with sweet nei hbors to stifle noise Annie's

) Mailbox want the girls to stop having fun. I'd just like them to keep other people in mind, too. But trying to tell someone else how to discipline their kids is a very delicate subject. This has been going on since the weather has warmed up. I can't even entertain outside because of the shrieking. Please help, Annie. — A FRUSTRATED NEIGHBOR DEAR FRUSTRATED: You say your neighbors are sweet and good-hearted.Surely they would not want people to think their children are so annoying and disruptive. There is nothing rude or hurtful about saying to your neighbors, "We're happy the girls are having such a great time out-

side,but we would deeply appreciate it if they could tone it down a bit. I'm sure they don't realize how loud they are." Unless they are breaking some local noise ordinances, there isn' t much more you can tIo.But you can repeat to yourself that "this, too, shall pass." Soon enough, those shrieking teenagers will be off to college (or adulthood) and this will no longer be a problem. Until then, you might want to invest in some noise-blocking headphones and a fan. DEAR ANNll<: Two of us work with a woman in our office who sleeps propped up at her desk. She snores lightly and wakes herself up numerous times. We have spoken to her about this, to no avail. We don't want to tell the boss and get her into trouble. But as you can imagine, it is both irritating and distracting. How should we han-

die it? —VERY FRUSTRATED DEAR FRUSTRATED: Your co-worker is not getting enough restful sleep at night. She may be burning the candle at both ends, or she may have a sleep disorder. Suggest toher that she see a doctor immediately because you are worried about her. And please don't feel guilty about reporting her to the boss. She is sleeping on the job, which affects your ability to work and your boss'bottom line. But more importantly, she may have a serioushealth issue that should be addressed, and that is how you should approach it — WITH GENUINE CONCERN.

How the skin infection cellulitis is contracted DEAR DR ROACH:What is cellulitis, and how does one get it? I live in a retirement facility, and two ladies at my dining table have it. It seems to be very painful and difficult to heal. Should I take any precautions? — R.G. ANSWER Cellulitis is an infection of the skin. It involves the full thickness of the skin, so it differs from the related infection erysipelas, which is an infection of just the outer layer. Most cases ofcellulitisare caused by Streptococ ci,but Staphylococcus aureus (astaph infections") are increasingly problematic, especially thosecaused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, also called MRSA. The biggest risk factor for developing cellulitis is a lack of skin integrity. Trauma to the skin, such as a simple abrasion, a sm allcutor an insectbite, is a common way for the bacteria, which normally live on a( colonizeal the skin, to get through the skin barrier and cause an infection. Skin conditions such as eczema, or an infection with, say, a fungus areotherways the bacteria can getin. Chronic edema — from heart, liver or

DEAR ANNIE: How do I tell my neighbors that it's annoying and &ustrating to listen to their teenaged daughters shrieking and screaming as they' re having fun outside? Often, I want to go out and play with my dog, but I can't because these girls are behaving like 5-year-olds, screaming their heads ofK There are things I need to do outside, but the noise makes it impossible. And it' s horrible to have to listen to it inside as well. The mother says she doesn't like to interfere with the girls when they' re having a good time. Well, they may be enjoying themselves, but the rest of the neighborhood is not. People are just too polite to say anything. I don'twant to be offensive, rude or hurt my neighbors' feelings. These parents and their girls are sweet, good-heartedpeople,but it seems that the discipline and consideration for others is simply not there. I don' t

Proper skin care is the key for people at high risk, which includes anyone with a history of cellulitis as well as anyone with the risk factors above.

Cellulitis can occur anywhere on the body, but it is most commonly seen in the legs and feet. Having a weakened immune system — from any cause, includingdisease or treatments thataffect the immune system — predisposes one to developing cellulitis. Longstanding diabetes, which affects small blood vessels, is another risk factor. Just plain dry skin can cause subtle cracks. As the immune system tends to wane with age,advanced ageitselfisarisk.

ROACH: In a recent article, you answered a woman in her 80s whose physician was no longer ordering mammograms or colonoscopies forher,and your response mentioned a possi blerisk ofdamage from colonoscopy. Can you clarify what you meant? All we hear is how important they are and how painless the procedure is, etc. — C.S.L. ANSWER: All medical procedures have risk. The risk of a serious complication from a colonoscopy is low, about 25 in10,000 procedures;thatrisk probably is higher with advancing age.

One reader wrote in to ask me about CT colonogTaphy, sometimes called a "virtual colonoscopy." I think this technique may replace colonoscopy for some people. Perhaps eventually people will have a CT scan and, if an abnormality is found,willgo for a colonoscopy the same day to evaluate the abnormality.

TOday in hiStOry Today is Tuesday, July 7, the 188th day of 2015. There are 177 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On July 7, 1865, four people were hanged in Washington D.C. for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln: Lewis Powell (aka Lewis Payne), David Herold, George Atzerodt and Mary Surratt, the first woman to be executed by the U.S. federal government. On this date: In 1846, U.S. annexation of California was proclaimed at Monterey (mahn-tuh-RAY') after the surrender of a Mexican garrison. In 1898, the United States annexed Hawaii. In 1919, the first Transcontinental Motor Convoy, in which a U.S. Army convoy of motorized vehicles crossed the United States, departed Washington D.C. (The trip ended in San Francisco on September 6, 1919.) In 1948, six female U.S. Navy reservists became the first women to be sworn in to the regular Navy. In 1954, Elvis Presley made his radio debut as Memphis, Tennessee,station WHBQ played his first recording for Sun Records, "That's All Right." In 1981, President Ronald Reagan announced he was nominating Arizona Judge Sandra Day O' Connor to become the first female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1987, Lt. Col. Oliver North began his longawaited public testimony at the Iran- Contra hearing, telling Congress that he had "never carried out a single act, not one," without authorization.

Now West, correctly judging that this was not a singleton, put in her jack. South won with dummy's queen and led a trump, but East dashed in with her ace and played her second heart.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-827-4822 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http: //www.qualityloan.corn, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-626372-CL . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

Serena tips Venus in Wimbledon sister battle

OAKLAND (AP) — A person with knowledge of the details says the Golden State Waniors and veteran guard Leandro Barbosa have agreed <RR'} to a $2.5 million, one-year deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on Monday night on condition of anonymity because contracts can' t be completed until the NBA's moratorium on free agency endsThursday. ESPN first reported the agreement. The 32-year-old combo guard is one of coach Steve Kerr's favorites from their time together in Phoenix, where Kerr was the general manager. Barbosa averaged 71 points and 1.5 assists in 14.9 minutes last season with the NBA champion Warriors.

LONDON (AP) — Decades ago, when the Williams sisters were kids in California, taking tennis lessons from Dad on a municipal court and imagining playing at G rand S l a m 'll!I ! tournaments one day, it was Venus — older, taller,stronger — who usually beat Serena. Never a fan of losing to her sibling — who would be?Serena cheated a tad every so often, lying about whether Venus' shots landed in or out. "That's the past," Serena jokes now with an eye roll. "I was young." As professionals, on the sport'sbiggest stages, Serena hasbeen better,especially lately. On Monday at Centre Court, in the 26th all-Williams contest on tour but first at a major in six years, No. 1-seeded Serena played solidly enough to beat No. 16 Venus 6-4, 6-3 and reach the Wimble•

If Lloyd believed she still had some anonymity in the UnitedStates before,there's a good chance most of that is gone now. "I think it's definitely gone to another level," Lloyd said. "I'm not sure I'm ready for that, but it's great." Lloyd later joked she would love to find a beach to take a break. 'Tm p r e tt y me n t ally zapped right now. I would love to not think about anything," she said. Part of the reason that facelessness might be gone is the record ratings the American women set.

according to Julie Johnston — the U.S. team took part in a special event put on by Fox Sports. Players received their first jerseys that included the third star above the crest, the latest title adding the ones earned in 1991 and '99. It was a celebration filled with about 1,000 American fans surrounding the set overlooking Coal Harbor on the

Vancouver waterfront. "It hasn't honestly sunk in. It really hasn' t," American head coach Jill Ellis said. "You' re on this media thing and doing all this, but at some point it will sink in." Perhaps no player was coming to grips with her newfound stardom more than Carli Lloyd, whose hat trick in the first 16 minutes gave

the Americans a 4-0 lead. Lloyd went from being one of thetop female soccer players in America to one of the country's biggest sports stars in less than two hours. She was tweeted at by President Barack Obama and even had her Wikipedia page changed briefiy to say her position was "President of the United States."

The Spurs agreed to terms with Aldridge on a four-year, $80 million deal, Leonard for five years and $90 million, and Green for four years and $45 million in a f'renetic opening to free agency. But the unusual expenditureshave forced the Spurs to say goodbye to some mainstays as well. They traded Tiago Splitter to Atlanta to help create the

cap space for Aldridge, and had to let valued backup point guard Cory Joseph and swingman Marco Belinelli leave in free agency for bigger deals than the Spurs could afford. The departures have created a need for more help on the bench,especially for a Gregg Popovich-coached team that likes torest its veterans as

Frightening wreck puts NASCAR saf in spotlight DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Riding bumper-tobumper atnearly 200 mph, Austin Mlon was smack in the middleof a pack of cars headed tothe checkered fl ag when he was suddenly sent on the ride of his life. A wreck that began three rows ahead of him sent cars spinning all over the track. When one turned into him, the forceofthehitfhpped his car up and over two others. Dillon sailed nearly upside down into the Daytona International Speedwaycatchfence with such a hard hit that it nearly brought his 3,500-pound car to a sudden stop. The fence acted like a slingshot, sending the sheared race car back onto the track, where it landed on its roof and was hit again while the engine block smoldered nearby. Left behind were a handful of fans who received only minor injuries from the debris, and a gaping hole in the fence, the mesh tom away. And Dillon? Nearly everyone in NASCAR feared the worst looking at what remained of his car. Instead, he was helped out by rival crews and he gave the "I'm OK" two-handed wave used by late bullrider Lane Prost to the stunned crowd. "It happened so quick," said Dillon, the grandson of car owner Richard Childress and the first driver entrusted to drive the famed No. 3 that had been out of use since Dale Earnhardt's fatal 2001 crash at Daytona. "You' re just holding on and praying that you get through it, get to race again," he said. "I had just got done stopping and I had crew members everywhere. I thought that was really special and cool. It com-

forted me pretty quick. And then I just wanted to get out of there and let the fans know that I was OK, let my parents and grandparents know that I was all right." Dale Earnhmdt Jr. was near tears as he pulled into victory lane at nearly 3 a.m. Monday after watching the last-lap wreck in his rearview mirror. Runner-up Jimmie Johnson said Mlon was lucky to be alive. That Mlon walked away with only a sore arm and tailbone,and only fi ve fans suffered minor injuries, was a testament to NASCAR's evolving safety improvements. Kyle

Larson walked away kom a similar accident in a 2013 race at Daytona. The fence also was shredded, and the debris field injured 28 fans. Daytona has since reinforcedits fencing, and part of the track's ongoing $400 million renovation project has moved seating back a bit from the fence. "Fm really proud of the fact that the fence worked and the additional safety enhancements of the 'Daytona Rising' project did its job," track President Joie Chitwood said. Six-time NASCAR champion Johnson likened fencing to a "cheese grater" when a race

we are going to have hard crashes," France said. eYou learn from every single one of these things. The real good news for us is this is what we do: We have an entire group of people who woke up today trying to figure out how to make things better." But no solution will likely ever be perfect. Although Johnson agreed with Dillon that slower speeds might help, "there's no guarantees." NASCAR, track operators and race teams work daily on safety initiatives. Last weekend was Daytona's first major

event since Kyle Busch broke his right leg and left foot when he crashed into a concrete wall here in February. It led to the installation of 4,100 feet of additional SAFER barrier and the replacement of about 200,000 square feet of grass with asphalt. Busch's crash led all tracks to review their walls, and Dillon's wreck likely will force a tougher look at fencing. Earnhardt, who admitted he questioned his mortality afterhis father' s 2001 death and after a pairofconcussions sidelined him in 2012, said it' s impossibleto everbe 100 percent safe. These cars are going fast, and when you putthem in odd,rare circumstances like that, they' re going to go up in the air," he said. "We do everything we can and have made a lot of changes and incorporated a lot of things into these cars to try to keep them on the ground, but you never can in those imperfect situations. It' s very dangerous. Racing has always been very dangerous. Fortunately for us, we' ve gotten betterand saferin thelast (several) years. It's changed tremendously."
