Columbia College course to focus on water industry jobs

The Union Democrat

In the midst of a four-year drought, Columbia College will offer a new course aimed at bringing a younger generation into the Mother Lode water industry.

In August, the college, in partnership with San Joaquin Delta College, will offer a course that introduces students to the differenteducational and career opportunities available through its Water Resources Management Program — part of the school's Career Technician Education division, which offersseveralcareer-specifi c training courses thatprepare students to directly enter the workforce.

prepare studentsfor several state certifica-

trained work force.

tions needed for positions in the water industry.

"Water has been a very hidden industry, but the drought has brought it front and center," said Steve Christianson, a certified water system operator who will teach the class. "In the past people thought as long as waterwas coming out clear— it'sallgood."

The new class, "Introduction to Water Resources Management" will be held at Calaveras High School and is primarily geared toward high school students.

"By going to the high school, we' re planting the seed earlier," said Klaus Tenbergen, Dean of Career Technical Education and Economic Development. "Calaveras County was added so we could spread our wings.

There's not much offered there."

The college already teaches an identical course on its Columbia campus, said Tenbergen.

The main goal of the Calaveras course is to provideawareness and generate interest in the larger program offered at Columbia College.

"It's the first step of many to come," said Tenbergen.

The college also offers an associate in science-occupational education, Water Resources Management degree to pursue higher education applicable to the field.

Christianson has provided similar education and training through his organization, The Water School, which offers a 13-month program thatleads to state certification in

Part of his job will be to establish connections within the local industry, aiming to connect students with internships while taking courses at Columbia.

Video shows traffic stop escalate into confrontation HEMPSTEAD, Texas (AP) — A police dashboard video released Tuesday shows that a Texas state trooper drew a stun gun on a black motorist and said, "I will light you up" when the woman refused to get out of her car during a traf5c stop.

The roadside encounter swiftly escalated into a shouting con&ontation as the of5cer tried to pull 28-year-old Sandra Bland &om her vehicle. Days later, she was found dead in jail in a case that has caused her family and supporters to dispute that she hanged herself with a plastic garbage bag in her cell, as authorities have said.

The video posted by the Texas Department of Public Safety shows the trooper stopping Bland for failure to signal a lane change. After he hands her a written warning, the trooper remarks that Bland seems irritated. The Il-

linois woman replies that she is irritated because she had changed lanes to make way for the trooper's car.

The conversation quickly turns hostile when the of5cer asks Bland to put out her cigarette and she asks why she can't smoke in her own car. The trooper then orders Bland to get out of the vehicle. She refuses, and he tells her she is under arrest.

Further refusals to get out bring a threat &om the trooper to drag her out. He then pulls out a stun gun and makes the threat about

lighting Bland up.

When she finally steps out of the vehicle, the trooperorders her to the side ofthe road.

There, the confrontation continues off-camera but is still audible. The two keep yelling at each other as the of5cer tries to put Bland in handcuffsand waits for other troopers to arrive.

Out of the camera's view, Bland goes on protesting her arrest, repeatedly using exple-

tives and calling the of5cer a "pussy." At one point, she screams that he's about to break her wrists and complains that he knocked her head into the ground.

The trooper said in an affidavit that after handcuf5ng her for becoming combative, she swung her elbows at him and kicked him in his right shin.

In the af5davit released Tuesday, trooper Brian Encinia said he then used force "to subdue Bland to the ground," and she continued to fight back. He arrested her for assault on a public servant.

The trooper has been placed on administrative leave for violating unspecified police procedures and the Department of Public Safety's courtesy policy. The agency would not address questions about whether the trooper acted appropriately by drawing his stun gun or pulling her out of the vehicle.

"Regardlessof the situation — it doesn't matter where it happens — a DPS state trooper hasgot an obligation to exhibitprofessionalism and be courteous ... and that wasn't the case in this situation," said Steven McCraw, the department director.

Encinia has been a trooper for just over a year.

A law enforcement expert from Maryland said he was troubled by the video "from start to finish."

Vernon Herron, a senior policy analyst with the Center for Health and Homeland Security at the University of Maryland, said if the trooper intended to give her a warning, that' s what he should have done, no matter what the woman said to him.

"A person's attitude or their demeanor is not probable cause to make an arrest," said Herron, who has more than 35 years of experience in public safety and law enforcement.

OUR VIEW

accina ion vaci a ion rown "A foolish consistency," the philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson once noted, "is the hobgoblin of little minds," and no one has ever accused Gov. Jerry Brown of being small minded. So why be surprised when he completely reverses himself as he did the other day on vaccinations?

L ess t h a n t hree ye a r s a go Bro w n e ~ „ Thp m g S signed into law T;1 • Elle.S a plan allowing parents to place in public schools children who had not been vaccinated for diseases like polio, measles, mumps, smallpox and whooping cough. These once were plagues that killed thousands of children yearly, but by the end of the last century they had been virtually eradicated from industrialized countries. Vaccinations did that job.

The bill Brown signed in 2012 required parents not wanting to meet schools' vaccination standards to present written proof they had heard from a health professional the pluses and minuses of getting the shots, which are often dispensed free, at public expense. But he attached a signing message that essentially negated the law he had just helped create: it ordered public health officials to craft a form where parents could simply claim vaccinating their children violates their religious beliefs.

Never mind that no organized or even quasi-organized religion, from Roman Catholicism to Christian Science to Orthodox Judaism to Hinduism, Scientology and Wiccanism, opposed vaccination then and only the black Muslim Nation of Islam does now.

The next 30 months saw two outbreaks of pertussis (whooping cough) and one — much more publicizedburst of measles that allegedly began at Disneyland, which has no vaccination rules.

No one blamed Brown for those disease flare-ups. But there's no doubt he keeps track of the news and realized that if a similar outbreak ever reached epidemic proportions, he would be blamed. Disease, not construction projects like bullet trains or water tunnels, could become his most prominent legacy.

So when a much tougher public school vaccination law reached his desk this month, he signed it instantly. It takes effect next year.

"The scienceisclear that vaccines dramatically protect children against a number of infectious and dangerous diseases," went his latest signing message, "...the evidence shows that immunization powerfully benefits and protects the community."

Where in 2012 Brown spokesmen rationalized his move by saying he aimed "to take into account First Amendment religious freedoms through an extremely narrow exemption," this time there was no mention of either religion or an exemption, other than for homeschooled kids and children with medical reasons not to be vaccinated.

No form this time where parents too lazy or too fearful to get their kids vaccinated can easily lie by checking a box saying they are religiously opposed to the shots.

No foolish consistency here from Brown, who has not just vacillated, but completely reversed himself in the space of three years. It's not the first time he's done that, the most famous prior occasion coming after the June 1978 passageof the Proposition 13 property tax limits.

Back then, Brown had spent the spring as the chief opponent of the initiative, sponsored by anti-tax gadflies Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann.

When it passed — by a margin of about 30 percent — Brown instantly became its most active proponent, quickly meeting with Jarvis and Gann and signing enabling legislation that still plagues the state with nonsensical definitions of what constitutes a change of ownership.

Back then, there were no crazies to dog Brown's path toward embracing Proposition 13. This time, there are plenty of misinformed parents still determined not to vaccinate their kids. They may qualify a referendum for next fall's ballot, trying to cancel the new law. They' re still staging vocal protests.

But don't expect Brown to change his mind again. He' s far too practical (some call it opportunism). He knows, as he did when he issued his signing message in 2012, that oppositionto vaccination is based primarily on the widely circulated myth of a link to autism, since recanted by the British academic whose flawed study is at its base.

Also, don't expect Brown ever to acknowledge his signingmessage of three years ago was a big-time error.

While he's prone to reversing himself, public mea culpas are not a habit for this onetime seminarian.

This reversalwas strictly a practical matter, and as Jarvisand Gann discovered long ago,Jerry Brown can be pragmatism (or opportunism) personified.

Liberals: Human nature is unchangeable Human nature is unchanging, predictable— and can be dangerous ifignored.

manage to borrow so much money? And why, well afler their two children's graduations, have they not paid these staggering sums back?

Again, it is someone else's fault. But did the OMalley's have to send one child to $67,000-peryear Georgetown University rather than have her spend her first two yearsat ajunior college?

Could they have cut back on their vacations and other expenditures to pay down more on the loans?

Why should taxpayers — the overwhelming majority of whom make less than the O'Malleys and do not choose to send their children to tony schools like Georgetown — lament the family's staggering debt?

In allthese cases,progressivism assured us that human nature — selfcenteredand predictable — could be improved.

Enlightened new theories and policies promised to change behavior by no longer ensuring hurtful punishments or consequences for bad behavior and unwise choices.

In truth, if humans do not face bridles on their often dangerous appetites and recklessness, they are emboldened to do a great deal of damage, not just to themselvesbut alsotoothers.

Those who borrow sums that they cannot pay back usually blame those who lent them the money — not their own appetites.

And elites never seem to pay firsthand for the consequences of their own naive — and selfish — theories about human nature.

cisco has long boasted that it would not turn over unauthorized immigrants to federal immigration authorities.

Can it be that announcing such exemptions actually draws in foreign citizens who have arrived in the U.S. illegally and committed crimes?

What istrue compassion — deporting a repeat felon like Lopez-Sanchez back to his home country, or turning him loose on potential victims such as Kate Steinle?

Baltimore just fired its police commissioner, Anthony Batts, for his supposed inability to stop an epidemic of violent crime.

But not long ago, after the riots that followed suspect Freddie Gray's death while in police custody, Batts and Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake had promised to rein in the police.

They seemed to blame Baltimore's police culture for Gray's death even before

ible, and police less visible?

Given human nature, people also like to blame their self-created dilemmas on cosmic forces not of their own making.

Take Greece.

The Greek government cooked its books tofinagle streams of borrowed Northern European cash.

The Greeks spent what they could not earn faster even than it could be lent.

Now, Greece is broke and cannot pay back what it owes.

But do not suggest to the Greeks that their own endemic tax avoidance, featherbedding and corruption caused their financial collapse.

It is so much easier for humans to blame "them": in this case, German creditors who either loaned Greeks too much money, or made too much money on the loans, or who had Nazi grandparents who once occupied Greece 75 years ago.

Former Maryland Gov. and current presidential candidate Martin OMalley deplores staggering student-loan debt.

He himself has borrowed almost $340,000 to put his two daughters through college.

O' Malley wants a new taxpayer-supported plan of subsidizing college students to ensure that they graduate debt&ee and avoid the sort of mess he is in.

I-i0 at washed out bridge to reopen LOS ANGELES — The main highway connecting California and Arizona, which was closed when a surge of floodwaterdamaged several bridges spanning small desert gullies, is set to partially reopen Friday — far sooner than officials first estimated.

The California Department of Transportation had expected repairs on Interstate 10 to take weeks but announced Tuesday that traffic would flow again less than a week after the span were damaged.

The hardest hit were bridges over Tex Wash, a normally dry gully that filled with rainfall Sunday amid the kind of sudden, intense storm that can happen in the desert.

No deal reached on highway bill

WASHINGTON — With a deadline looming for a cutoff of highway aid to states, Senate Republicans failed Tuesday to muster enough votes to take up a bill that would extend transportation programs for six years.

Democrats c o m plained they'd had only an hour to read the 1,040-page bill. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he would give Democrats more time, but added he intends to push forward with the bill even if it means keeping the Senate in session over the weekend.

on ress ursues e isaive c an es o owin ier s oo in WASHINGTON (AP) — Urged on by anguished testimony from the father of a murder victim, Congress plunged into a heateddebate over immigration on Tuesday as GOP lawmakers vowed to shut down funding for so-called sanctuary cities like San Francisco that shield immigrants &om deportation by federal authorities.

Immigrant advocates denounced the

approach, accusing Republicans of following presidential candidate Donald Trump in demonizing Latinos.

But after 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle was shot this month, allegedly by an immigrant with a criminal record and without legal status, even some Democratswere calling for action to address the ineffective tangle of federal and local laws and policies that left the man on the street.

If they are right, Turkey would be a particularly vulnerable target for the extremists.

Trump-GOP feud escalates after rival goes after him BLUFFTON, S.C. (AP)Donald Trump pushed back ever harder Tuesday against Republicans fed up with his provocations, disclosing one opponent's cell number in a fiery speech and lashing out at an influential newspaper as part of an in-your-face escalation of the feud.

Fellow GOP presidential contender Sen. Lindsey Graham called him a "jackass," only to see floods of Trump supporters jam his phone line after Trump read Graham's number toan audience.

Trump is now at odds with much of the Republican establishment after a series of incendiary comments, topped by his weekend mocking of Arizona Sen. John McCain's

experienceas a tortured pris- about Mexican immigrants

oner of war in Vietnam.

Since then the real estate developer and reality TV host has intensified his criticism of McCain and his record on veterans issues in the Senate, even as politicians &om both parties and veterans groups have rushed to McCain's defense.

In a speech to hundreds of supporters in BlufRon, South Carolina, on Tuesday, Trump kept on McCain, accusing him of being soft on illegal immigration.

"He's totally about open borders and all this stuff"

had brought out the "crazies." McCain said Tuesday he would no longer respond to Trump's comments.

Graham, a McCain &iend and one of the 16 notable Republicans running for the presidential nomination, betrayed the growing exasperationand anger of many in the party when he appeared earlier on "CBS This Mornmg.

"Don't be a jackass," Graham said. "Run for president.

But don't be the world's biggestjackass."

San Francisco is among hundreds of jurisdictions nationally that decline to honor federal immigration requests, or "detainers," which have been successfully challenged in court and which advocatessay can unfairly target imm igrants who've done nothing wrong or committed only minor crimes.

The House will vote on legislation by Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., this week that would shut down two different types oflocal law enforcement grants to cit ies that don't cooperate with federal immigration authorities, and cut offtheir reimbursements for the costs of jailing immigrants in the country illegally who commit crimes.

Testifying before a somber Senate Judiciary Committee, Jim Steinle described his daughter as &iendly, happy, adventurous and full of laughter and love. Shot at random before his eyes as they walked arm in arm, she had time only to utter the words "Help me, Dad." Those are the last words I will ever hear &om my daughter," Steinle said.

"If you have six months of inventory, it shows there's a balanced market with the same amount of buyers as sellers," said Kathie Burby, president of the Tuolumne County Association ofRealtors."The market isn't a buyers' market or a sellers'market. It'sjustbalanced.

Which is good for everybody."

Calaveras County has 329 active listings, compared with 260 atthistime lastyear.

The average number of days on the market for the second quarter in Tuolumne County was 120 days, Burkhardt said.

In Calaveras County it was 93.

The average number of days on the market in Tuolumne and Calaveras counties was 148 and 133 respectively. The average is between 120 and 140 days, Burby said.

During the first two quarters of 2015,the median sale price of homes in Tuolumne County was $225,000, a 1 percent increase from the first two quarters of 2014. The median is the price at which half the homes on the market are priced higher and half lower.

"Looking back, the median sales price increased 26 percent when we compared Q2 2014 with Q 2 2 013," Burkhardt said.

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation.

They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau hOuniondemocrat.corn

Man frustrated by lack of intimacy with friend DEAR ~ :I a m a divorced male in my mid-50s. A couple of years ago, I met a divorced woman through a mutual friend. We share a common hobby, which led to us spending hours of time together, often just the two of us.

I asked my lady friend early on if she another guy who already has a live-in was interested in dating. She told me girlfriend. When I confronted her, she she had recently been through a bad neither admitted it nor denied it. Inbreakup with her live-in boyfriend. She stead,she said hersex lifewasnone of thought it would be nice to have some- my business. one with whom to go out for dinner, but I think I' ve been used for two years. she wasn't interested in a sexual rela- I enjoyed our time together, but I never tionship with anyone. I accepted that. would have spent so much of it with this As time went on, however, we became woman if I'd known she had a sexual closer. Although there was never any- partner. We are no longer seeing each thing physical between us, we had what other, and although that is probably for I considered "dates," where I would pick the best, it is awkward since we have her up and we'd have dinner. I thought mutual &iends. itwas only a m atter oftim ebefore our What do you think? — FEELING relationship became romantic and inti- USED mate.

DEAR FEELINGS. We think this I recently learned that, for the entire woman de6nitely took advantage time I have known her, my lady friend of you, but we also believe you went had been having a sexual affair with into this with different expecta-

tions.

The woman needed someone to squireher around for dinner and such, and could not do so with her already-attached boyfrientL You were a convenience, and she misled you. You, however, assumed there would be an eventual sexual relationship with a woman who told you upfront that she wasn't interested (the reason is irrelevant).

If youhad instead considered her to be simply a friend, with no other agenda, you could have enjoyed dinners out and hobby time without feeling used.

It's time to let it go. You madea mistake getting involved with her, but it shouldn't shame you into avoiding your mutual friends. Hold your head up, be civil around her, and lookforromantic companionship elsewhere.

DEARANNIE: I thought I was being respectfulby addressing ladies using the title "Ma' am." Recently, I said

that to a woman and she responded,

"My name is Mrs.X. I am not a Ma' am!'"

What do you think? — LAFAYETTE, LA. DEAR LAFAYETTE: We think some people are too easily offended. We all havea preferred term of address,but we cannot expect others, especially strangers, to know what that is. One doesn't chastise a person for being polite. For those of youwho have been unintentionally insulted and feel the need to respond,simply correct the person ina gentle manner so they will know for next time.

Health information: What does your doctor share?

DEAR DR ROACH:If I share confidential information with my doctor, how much of that information is reported to my insurance company? I am required to sign the HIPAA form that allows

To Your Good Health /

information tobe shared in order to

provide treatment. What are the limits and boundaries of insurance companies' knowledge? Your answer determines how honest I can be with a doctor.

S.EL. ANSWER Your insurance company hasaccesstoyourm edicalrecords.Itreceives the billing information from your doctor and can review the medical recordsto ensure appropriatebilling and quality. It may not disclose this informationexceptasprovided forin theHealth Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

Ithappens occasionally to me thata patient asks me not to put some personal facts about him-or herself into the m edical record,and Ialways agree not to doso,with thecaveatthatthere area very few situations in which I, as a physician, am required to divulge privileged information. The most important is if a -

Keith Roach, M.D. patient tells me he or she has a plan to injure a particular person.

In my experience, the most common situations in which a person doesn' t want something in his or her record relatestoapsychiatricdiagnosis,ahistory of assault and illegal activities, especially drug use. These all are important for your doctor to know, so I hopeyou will be honest with your doctor about whatever situation you are concerned about, but I wouldencourage you to discussprivacy, including your desire for the information not to be entered into the medical record.

You also have the option of paying for the visit yourself, in which case the insurance company gets no information.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Plastic pill

Then my aging brain had a moment of lucidity — an electric coffeegrinder!It works perfectly and can handle several different pills at the same time. Please letyourreaders know. — S.L.P. ANSWER I think it's brilliant; however, do make sure the machine is clean, and I would use it only for medicine. Use a brush(also,usedjustforthistask)to remove all the powdered medicine after each use. Finally, check with the pharmacist to make sure the pills can be safel y crushed.Some cannot be,es-

Denis Diderot, an 18th-century French phi4K losopher, art critic and writer, said, "Watch out for the fellow who talks about putting things in $ yp 4987 5 order. Putting things in order always means getting other people under your controL" When you are a bridge defender, you hope to getdeclarer underyour control.Then you will probably be able to defeat the contract.

Sometimes, it must be admitted, it will be more T Q54 important to get partner under control, either by I 532 signaling clearly or by getting on play to make the lethal lead.

4Q764 Which applies in today's deal? South is in Dealer: North three no-trump, and West leads the club jack.

Vulnerable: North-South North, knowing of a combined 25-28 points, was right to raise to three no-trump.

South West N orth E a st West's opening lead marks South with the 1t Pass c lub queen. So, if East takes the first trick with 1NT Pass SNT AHP a s s his club ace and returns the suit, declarer will take at least nine tricks: one club, six diamonds Opening lead:4 J and two spades. If South needs the spade finesse, East knows it will succeed.

The defenders must win the first five tricks.

And the only way to do that is with one club and four hearts. But to which heart should East shift at trick two?

If East leads a low heart and South plays low, the contract makes. Instead, East should switch to his heart jack. This is called a surrounding play because East has dummy's top heart, the 10,surrounded by hisjack and nine,and he has another,higher,nontouching heart honor in the king.

Then South has no answer; he must lose those five tricks.

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 this property.

ATLANTA (AP) — Forward Michael Seaton says J amaica advanced to t h e CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals for the first time in 17 years because the Reggae Boyz enjoyed surprising the doubters.

With fivetime champion United States waiting in Wednesday night' s semifinal, Jamaica coach Winfried Schaefer is playing up the underdog role once again.

"It feels like David versus Goliath," Schaefer said Tuesday. "But that's fine. We will try everything to hit the giant when it counts the most."

Mexico, which has six Gold Cup titles, will play Panama in Wednesday night's other semifinal.

Prosecution of Barry Bonds ends without conviction SAN FRANCISCO (AP)After a nearly decade-long steroids prosecution, Barry Bonds emerged victorious Tuesday when federal prosecutorsdropped what was left of their criminal case against the career home runs leader.

The government's pursuit

of Bonds ended quietly with a one-paragraph motion by the U.S. Department of Justice announcing Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr. will not ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the appellatedecision that overturned Bonds' obstruction of

justice conviction.

A jury found the former San Francisco Giants star guilty in 2011 for giving a m eandering answer to a federal grand jury in 2003 when asked whether his personal trainer gave him anything that required a syringe for

self-injection. An 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that conviction in April, and the government had until Wednesday tofile for a Supreme Court review.

The jury deadlocked on three counts accusing Bonds

of making false statements when he denied receiving steroids or human growth hormone or any substance that r equired a s y r inge for self-injection from the trainer, Greg Anderson. The See BONDS/Page C3

NFL Peterson, Vikings agree to redo last 3 years of deal MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings agreed Tuesday to restructure the final three years of his contract, giving the six-time Pro Bowl running back $20 million in guaranteed money.

The Vikings announced the agreement four days before players will report to training camp, clearing away any lingering haze that surrounded their relationship with Peterson. Initially disinterested in returning to the team following his reinstatement by the NFL, Peterson sofl'ened this spring and took part in several offseason practices with the Vikings last month.

That alsois a matter for another day. For now, the Vikings have their franchise playerback in the fold after a tumultuous year away, yet another example of money resolving a conflict in this ultra-competitive league.

Peterson, who turned 30 in March, can let himself loose without worrying about getting hurt. He' ll be aiming to help the Vikings improve upon their 7-9 record from last year and rise up the ranks of the NFL's career rushing leaders along the way.

"I feel like I'm blessed," Peterson said last month, when asked about his longevity at a demanding position that churns up some of the best.

"I feel like just my mindset that I have, my work ethic, as well."

BRIEFs Titans announce deal with Mariota

Blue 3ays hit 3 homers, power past A's 7-1

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota signed with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday, becoming the last of the NFL's first-round draft picks to finalize his deal.

The former O r egon quarterback is expected to start immediately, with the timing of the contract keeping the No. 2 overallpick on track to open the season Sept. 13 at Tampa Bay against Jameis Winston — the No. 1 overall selection from the draft.

The T i tans s t arted three quarterbacks while going 2-14 in coach Ken Whisenhunt's debut season. They were so excited about adding M ariota that Whisenhunt began tweaking his offense to fit the quarterback's skills w eeks before the draft.

Mariota left O r egon after his redshirt junior season. In 2014, the 6-foot-4 222 - pounder from Hawaii directed the -

most efficient offense in

the country and led all quarterbacks with a 90.9 rating. Mariota threw for 4,454 yards and 42 touchdowns, while rushing for 770 yards and 15 scores.

He was only intercepted

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)Josh Donaldson began the day reminiscing about his former team and ended it by t a lking about th e t a l ented teammates on his current club.

Russell Martin, Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion homered to power the Toronto Blue Jays past the Athletics 7-1 on Tuesday night in Donaldson's return to Oakland.

Donaldson doubled twice and drove in a ru n after starting0 for3.

"I have my teammates doing their thing, which made it easier for me," the All-Star third baseman said. "They' re dangerous and they' re just good hitters. You look at our lineup and you go one through nine and you go, 'Where's the out at?"'

Martin hit a three-run shot to chase former Blue Jays right-hander Kendall Graveman (6-6) in the sixth. Bautista and Encarnacion both connectedfor a solo shot.

Mark Buehrle (11-5) allowed one run and eight hits in seven innings. The lefthander struck out three and walked none as the Blue Jays improved to 3-1 since the AllStar break.

Buehrle has given up two

earned runs or fewer in nine straightstarts.

But thegame belonged to Donaldson, a former fan favoriteat the Coliseum who has blossomed into one of baseball's best players. The A's surprisingly sent Donaldson to Toronto last November for Graveman, third baseman Brett Lawrie, lefty Sean Nolin and minor league shortstop Franklin Barreto.

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Donaldson was amped up and motivated as soon as the team arrived in

the Bay Area. aDonaldson said to me last

night on the bus, he said, This is my town.' I looked outside and I said, 'I'm glad it's yours not mine, Gibbons said.

Donaldson admitted he had some nerves. He was cheered during pregame introductions and pulled the bill of his batting helmet down to acknowledge the crowd when he was announced at the plate in the first inning.

That combination of size, mobility and efficiency prompted the Titans to make him their third quarterback drafted within the first eight selections since 2006, and a franchise with only one winning record in the past six seasons has been busy selling Mariota since the moment he

was announced as their newest player.

But the timing of Mariota'scontract caused a bit

of apprehension for fans of the t eam. Whether or not the Titans would have Mariota signed in time for the first practice of camp July 31 had been a hot topic on talk radio the past few weeks.
