Dollar General is looking at opening a location in a small Tuolumne County town known for preserving Gold Rush history — Columbia.

The discount retail store corporation is working toward openingastoreoffofParrotts Ferry Road and Howser Lane, said Mike Laird, Tuolumne County deputy community resources agency director.

Katie Kile, spokesperson for the Dollar General media relationsdepartment based out of Goodlettsville, Tennessee, said the company is working on getting permits and approvals from the necessary government agencies.

"Due diligence means they are interested in working toward the possibility of construction," she said.

Kile said when Dollar Generallooks at areas for potential locations, they take in a number of factors, including the demographics of an area and traffic patterns.

Firm Republican opposition to tinkering of any kind with the 1978 Proposition 13 is one reason voters may get no chance next year to decide whether or not to tax commercial and industrial land and buildings more than residential property.

"Very remote," was how the state Senate's GOP leader, Bob Huff of Glendora, described the chances of even one Republican voting for a so-called "split roll" measure now being carried by two Democratic state senators.

The GOP's stance might have been only incidental

*

'QSE<

last year, when Demo-

crats periodically held two-thirds majorities in both houses of the L egislature. Bu t i t can be decisive now, since the Democrats are short of that benchmark in both the Senate and Assembly.

It would take two-thirds votes in both houses to put the so-called "split roll" on the ballot without going the initiative route, with its circulated petitions and other complications.

That would tax non-residential property based on current values rather than 1 percent of their latest purchaseprice,as dictated by Prop. 13.

But so what? some ask. One recent survey often cited by backersof the split rollfound 75 percent of 104,000 voters polled favor withdrawing Proposition 13 protections from commercial property.

By a similar margin, voters also would like changes in rules and definitions that sometimes prevent reassessment of non-residential property when it is sold.

Getting this passed via the initiative route looks easy, but looks can deceive.

Vocal and well-funded opposition invariably emerges the moment any proposal arises to change Proposition 13 even in the slightest.

Every such response plays on the fears of California homeowners, many of whom would be forced to sell if they lost Proposition 13 coverage that limits basic levies to 1 percent of the most recent purchase price, plus a 2 percent increase in that amount each year.

This law, of course, causes huge disparities in most neighborhoods.

On a typical street in the San Fernando Valley district of Los Angeles, for example, a three-bedroom house last sold for $57,000 in 1975 pays an annual tax of less than $1,500. Across the street, a home with the identical floor plan purchased last year for more than $600,000 draws a property tax bill more than four times as high.

This may seem unfair, but it keeps older homeowners with fixed incomes in places they might otherwise have to leave.

Even if they are liberal-leaning voters on other issues, those homeowners often respond to fear-mongering claims that any change to Proposition 13 must certainly lead to the end of their own protections.

Then there's political and financial reality.

Circulating initiative petitions is expensive, even though last year's ultra-low voter turnout caused a big drop in the number of signatures needed to put a measure on next November's ballot. The number is based on a percentageofthe vote in the latestgeneral election.

But it will still cost sponsors about $5 per signature to qualify any proposal, the total expense generally topping $2 million for each initiative next year.

Also seeking spots on that ballot will be at least three other measures that aim to increase taxes. All will compete for money from many of the same sponsors.

One proposal would more than double cigarette taxes to $2 per pack. Another would extend the temporary tax increasesofthe 2012 Proposition 30, a major factor in pulling California out of its once-perennial budget cri'

ses.

A third measure still on the drawing board would impose an extraction levy on oil and natural gas drilled in California, putting this state on an equal footing with places like Texas and Oklahoma, where such taxes are the foundationof fatstate budgets.

Taken together, those measures could produce more state revenue than the estimated $6 billion to $12 billion that might be raised via a split roll.

Because that money would support public employee salaries and pensions, these measures draw support from the Service Employees International Union. They would also fund education, thus helping the California Teachers Association.

None of those other plans arouses anything close to the heated opposition spurred by a split roll.So labor unions have not said, but they might feel it's a safer investment to go after smaller game next year.

It all puts a vote on the split roll, once deemed virtually inevitable, very much in doubt.

In those same six presidential contests, 18 states and the District of Columbia, totaling among them 242 electoral votes (you need only 270 to win the White House), have voted every time for the Democratic ticket. This, even our good friends at Fox News would concede, is not good news for the Grand Old Party.

But wait. After the most recent national election, in November 2014, there were actually more Republicans — 247 — elected to the 435-seat U.S. House of Representatives than at any time since Herbert Hoover's landslide victory over Al Smith, some 86 years earlier. With those kinds of numbers, Republicans will be accepting congratulations, not condolences.

Now would be the appropriate time to quote the American philosopher George Santayana, who wrote, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

In 1980, the Democrats were the House majority party, holding 243 seats.

But in the presidential elections of 1980, 1984 and 1988, the three Democratic nominees — President Jimmy Carter, former Vice President Walter Mondale and Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis — collectively carried a grand total of just 17 states. In those three elections, the Republicans won 1,440 electoral

Please returnflag To the Editor: Follow-up to Service Flag Theft on July 4th.

Since the shameful theR between the hours of four and six in the morning on the Fourth of July of the service flag that draped my late uncle's casket, I have been praying for the person who stole it and for the return of the flag.

The loss of this family flag has been a shocking and painfulexperience for me. It is also very painful to think that someone would stoop to

doing such a thing with no regard whatsoever forthe effect this would have on me and my family.

If it was taken by someone who actually knows me, that is beyond despicable.

I would like to thank Eric Olsen who immediately called me to offer me a brand new flag and Judy and George Sander son who generously delivered a new flag to my house recently. Their kindness and goodness shine in sharp contrast to the coward-

ly theft of my flag in the early morning darkness.

All those I have met recently whoknow me have asked if the flag has been returned. I have sadly had to reply, "No, not yet." Maybe I am being too optimistic and naive, but I do expect whoever stole my flag to return it and soon. While I have a new flag, it is not my uncle's flag, and my heart will remain broken until I see it again at my house.

That person knows the street I live on, obviously, and my name appears below. It can be put in the US mail and my postal carrier will know where to deliver it. I can identify it.

I hope and pray the thief has aconscience atall.Itcertainly is not in evidence at the present time, and that is the saddest thing of all that someone in this town has chosen to lead this kind of a life and does not care about the hurt and suffering that his stealing causes.

'The whole medical marijuana thing was a con &om the beginning," McManus said.

"Itis a doorway to recreational marijuana and it is starting to reach kids. That's my problem."

McManus has played an active role in the fight against Pure Aloha opening a dispensary in the Murphys area. From the start, McManus originally set up six signs on private property throughout the town — all at the request of the property owners — that read "Stop the pot shop."

To date, the signs are a shadow of what they used to be; three have been stolen, leaving the remainders exposed to countless acts of vandalism.

"I have no idea who is defacing the Jason Cowani Union Democrat A "Stop the pot shop" sign in Mursigns; what crowd," McManus said.

began theprocess to apply for a rezoning of the location with the Calaveras County Planning Commission.

But the permit would never make it to hearing.

According to a Calaveras County ordinance, cannabis dispensaries cannot operate within 1,000 feet of any school, library, park or youth-oriented establishment. Pure Aloha measured 750 feet from Mind Matters Clinic, a nonprofit treatment center with a clientele that mainly serves minors that are affected

"That's the way they do things. I didn't want to question the way they measure things," Chance said. "They' ve been doing it that way for a long time."

Since Pure Aloha did not meet the county ordinance distance standards, Chance pulled the rezoning permit before the hearing. ters.

BRIEFING

Bonsai Club to meet Aug. 1 The Mother Lode Bonsai Club will give a free demonstration on accent plants presented on Saturday, August 1.

The club's meeting begins at10 a.m. and the demo will immediately follow the meeting. The meeting will be held in the former Calaveras County Water District office, at 423 E. St. Charles Street (Highway 49) in San Andreas.

Accent plants are grown in small bonsai containers and play an important visual role in this ancient Japanese art form. When displayed together, accent plants are thoughtfully placed in proximity to larger bonsai where they help to emphasize the scale of the more dominant tree and also add another dimension of interest for the viewer.

For more information, contact Bob Dean, Mother Lode Bonsai Club president at 7545887.

Habitat ta build four new homes Habitat for Humanity ofTuolumne County announcedTuesday that it has raised almost enough moneytobuild four new homes this fall.

"Habitat relies on the generous donations of individuals, businesses, civic organizations, faith groups, foundations and grants to accomplish our goal of providing affordable homes to those currently living in substandard housing.

We set a goal to raise funds to build four homes with partner families, and are only $43,000 shy of reaching this goal," According to Executive Director, Trinity Abila.

Three families have made it through the rigorous selection process and will start building their homes in the Parrotts Ferry Village subdivision in Columbia this fall, a Habitat press release said.

In an effort to select a fourth family, Habitat will host two community meetings in coming weeks.

For the opportunity to apply for a Habitat home in Tuolumne County, people must be present at one of these meetings to pick up their own application packet. The meetings are scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday August 5 and 10 a.m.

Saturday, August 8 at the Tuolumne County Ambulance Training Room at 18440 Striker Court, Sonora.

For more information on becoming a Habitat homeowner or a Habitat donor visit www.habitattuolumne.org.

Fall home and garden show set The Calaveras County Chamber of Commerce will host its 2015 Fall Home and Garden Show Oct. 2 and 3 in Angels Camp.

The show will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 2 and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Calaveras County Fairgrounds. Admission and parking are free.

Options abound when it comes to selecting deck

n

By LACEY PETERSON ec

The Union Demoernt

When it comes to choosing a deck material, the big questions local residents need to ask are what is their budget and how much maintenance they are willing and able to do.

In general, people can choose from wood — either redwood or more expensive hardwoods, concrete, composites, and aluminum coated with textured material to look like wood.

According to longtime local contractor Robert Hedgpeth, concreteis the most durable material with the least required maintenance. Price depends on whether or not the

deck is elevated high off of the ground, he said.

"If it's elevated, then it gets more expensive and that' s Maggie Beck /Union Democrat when people go to wood," A redwood deck on a home in the Phoenix Lake area shows wear and tear after a few years because it was not built Hedgpeth said. using pressure treated wood or sealed each year as is recommended by most contractors.

If someone wants a deck made from wood, Hedgpeth recommends they use pressure-treated wood. They must also treat it regularly or it doesn't stay nice and will deteriorate, he said.

Synthetic lumber or composites(for example, Trex or Timber Tech), are about onethird more expensive than redwood, Hedgpeth said.

Phoenix Lake area resident Bonnie Ritchie said she has a painted redwood deck that she had redone a few years ago. It gets direct sunlight and in t h ree years, boards

resources we have and learn to respectwater as the precious, life-giving commodity that it is. One way to respect it is to be careful with its use.

When you save water, you also save money (those com-

What can you do to reduce water use at home? Group your plants so that similar water needs are together. For example, don'tgrow lawn under the oaks — lawn needs summer water, oaks don' t.

Inside the house...check for water leaks — a leaking toilet is the most common reason for water loss. Leaks inside your toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water per day! Using toilettank leak detector tablets give you a quick, easy way to check for leaks. For TUD customers please stop by TUD's offices at 18885 Nugget Blvd., in Sonora to pick up your free toilet tank leak detectortablets.Toilet leaks may be hard tofi nd. They are normally caused by a bad flapper valve, flapper valve seat, a bad ballcock valve, an improperly positioned float

Impatiens and hydrangeas wilt easily so they need frequent watering. Junipers, in contrast, can go a long time without water. In fact, in this area most junipers die from over watering, especially if they' re planted at the edge of a lawn.

If you are a TUD customer you might also be eligible for a rebate for replacing your toilet. Here is the website for additional information: httpJ/ www.tudwater. corn/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/ToiletRebate 2014.pdf If you' re in the market for

a new dishwasher or washing machine, check out the new low water use models. New washers use 18-25 gallons of water perload, compared to 40 gallonsforstandard washers. Not only will you save water, but electricity as well.

If we all treat water like the precious resource it is, we may just be able to pull through this historic drought, the worst in over a century.

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 h©uniondemocrat.corn

lHCE

omi e DEAR ANNK: I have a problem with my oldest daughter. She has always been a selfish child. For years, we did not get along, and many times, we stopped speaking.

She popped back into my life last October through a Facebook chat.She was separated from her husband and had left her teenage children. She blamed everything on him and I believed her.

She visited me one day and asked to borrow my mother's ring, but I said no. I always wore it. Mind you, it's not worth any money. It only has sentimental value. But when she dropped by another night and asked, I said OK. She promised to give it back. After a few weeks went by, I asked her to return it and she claimed I had given it to her to keep. I corrected her and said I only let her borrow it.

She has since blocked me from her phone and Facebook page. Her hus-

au Annie's

! Mailbox band has informed me that she is seeing a man at her job who is 20 years younger, and that she has started partying, drinking and possibly using drugs. He says he barely knows her anymore. I asked her husband to tell her that I want my mother's ring back, but she refused his request as well. I am heartbroken. What can I do?HURT MOM DEAR MOM: Not toomuch. You v oluntarily gave her t h e r i n g, which makes it her word against yours that it was only intended to be temporary.You could threaten her with legal action, but actually doing so would cost both of you and might make the relationship

er' s s e is acions irreparable (although we know some readers would think that's a positive outcome).

Some children don't turn out the way we hope, no matter how much we love them. Your daughter sounds like an irresponsible, selfish person. You may need to consider Grandma's ring to be her inheritance,and for your own peace ofmind, please try to forgive her.

DEAR ANNIE: I read the letter from "Had Enough," the 68-year-old woman who was tired of her husband' s demand for sex. She asked how other seniors handled this.

My husband also had a robust sex drive. I lost interest aRer menopause, but for his sake, pretended all was well. When his progressing Parkinson's disease made it difficult for him to complete the act, I let him know that I had no interest, but I did agree

to havesex once a week.Idreaded it, as it became arealchore,butIkeptmy bargain until he died.

I did this because I understood how great his need was, I loved him and he loved me, and he was a considerate sex partner who was always faithful. I came to understand that sex for him was a security blanket. I am glad I made the effort, because I would not want to be living with regrets now that he is gone. P.S. The night before he died, his last words to me were, "I love you andIwant to have more sex."BEEN THERE IN FLORIDA Annie'8 Mailbox is written by Kathy

Calcium sources differ, needs remain the same DEAR DK ROACH: I am a 64-yearold woman with a thin frame who was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis. In thepast 10years,my bonedensity has declined despite regular exercise, a diet high in dairy products and taking calcium carbonate supplements. My doctor prescri bed Forteoinjectionsforoneyear to hopefully improve my bone density, and then transitioned me to Prolia.

From what I' ve read, calcium carbonate supplements are not easily absorbed and didlittle to preservemy bone density. I now take a plant-sourced calcium supplement (from algae lithothamnion calcareous and corallioides) that claims to be more "bioavailable" than calcium carbonate.

Isalgae-sourcedcalcium better than more-traditional calcium supplements? I have found no studies that address this, and I want to take the calcium supplement most likely to improve bone density. — C.H. ANSWER Although calcium supplements by themselves do little to prevent osteoporosis, for men and women taking medication for osteoporosis, the body

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. needs calcium to put into the bones. The ideal source is from the diet(supplements increase kidney stone risk and may increase calcium in arteries), but it can be diflicult to get enough calcium from diet, especially if you don't like or don't want to ingest dairy products. Hence, many people rely on supplements.

Calcium carbonate is the cheapest and most frequently taken supplement, but it is not particularly well-absorbed.

Itneeds to be taken with food tobe absorbed well at all. Calcium citrate is betterabsorbed and better tolerated than calcium carbonate. It is what I usually recommend for people who take supplements and who don't tolerate calcium carbonate.

Algal calcium has a difFerent crystalstructure from calcium carbonate.A 2010 studyfrom Japan did show a 57 percent increase in absorption of elemental calcium compared with calcium carbonate. However, it is significantly more expensive, and requires many pills a day.

Calcium is absorbed better when it' s taken m smaller amounts, so I would say it isimportanttospaceoutsupplement use. It is hard to absorb more than 600 mg at a time. I still recommend calcium carbonate taken with food as the first choice, but calcium citrate or algal calcium are reasonable alternatives if

the calcium carbonate isn't well-tolerated.People with osteoporosis should aim fora totalof 1,200 mg elemental calcium from a combination of diet and supplements.

DEAR DR ROACH: During art attnual physical, my primary physician discovered a soft lump on the top center of my head. He was not concerned other Readers may write Dr. Roach, M.D., at than to say that I will need to have that 628Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32803or removed someday.

Today in history

Today is Saturday, July 25, the 206th day of 2015.

There are 159 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan drew boos from some spectators at the Newport Folk Festival as he performed with a rock band. (The cause of the negative reaction is in dispute, with some citing Dylan's use of an electric guitar, others blaming poor audio quality and still others complaining about the shortness of Dylan's set.)

On this date: In 1918, the musical revue "The Passing Show of 1918" opened on Broadway, featuring a cast that included Fred Astaire and his sister, Adele, and the song "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles."

In 1952, Puerto Rico became a self-governing commonwealth of the United States.

In 1956, the Italian liner Andrea Doria collided with the Swedish passenger ship Stockholm off the New England coast late at night and began sinking; at least 51 people were killed.

In 1975, the musical "A Chorus Line" opened on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre, beginning a run of 6,137 performances.

In 1985, a spokeswoman for Rock Hudson confirmed that the actor, hospitalized in Paris, was suffering from AIDS. (Hudson died in October 1985.)

In 2000, a New Yorkbound Air France Concorde crashed outside Paris shortly after takeoff, killing all 109 people on board and four people on the ground; it was the first-ever crash of the supersonic jet.

BRIDS two-day domestic phase. Home and family have your attention. Events over the next five months, with Uranus retrograde, could surprise or upset the status quo. Make plans for resilience, and adapt to changes. Save resources.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today is a 7 — You can afford to be gracious. Rebellious urges could impact your partnerships over the next five months, with Uranus retrograde. Make big plans for end-of-year launch. Concentrate on your studies today and tomorrow. Organized communications pay off.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today is an 8 — Bring in the money today and tomorrow. Work surges can pre-empt health practices and routines. Spontaneous outbursts and surprises affect your workload over the next five months, with Uranus retrograde. Balance with meditation and exercise. Prioritize love.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 6 — Practice what you love. You' re strong and creative today and tomorrow. Guard against overspending or overeating. Play games you know how to win for the next five months, with Uranus retrograde. Revise and refine. Consider family before making big changes.

Capricorn (Dec. 224an. 19): Today is a 5 — Wait on a confusing issue. Be gentle and respectful. Rest and recuperate today and tomorrow. Surges of independence can arise at home, with Uranus retrograde. Plan big home changes for after year's end. Draw upon hidden resources.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5 — Outbursts of invention, emotion and brilliance erupt over the next five months, with Uranus retrograde. Talk about how you want it to be. Envision thriving. Choose love over money.

In bidding, one is told not to rebid a five-card suit on the second round, Dealer: South but West's spades certainly look like a Vulnerable: Both six-carder. And three clubs is short on South West N orth E a st appeal with such a poor suit. North was right to rebid three, not four, hearts.

2Y 24 SV All Pa s s South was a passed hand and rated to have only a five-card suit because he had not opened with a weak two-bid.

Opening lead: 4 A West leads the spade ace: five, nine, seven. How should West continue?

The defenders need five tricks. East's spade nine must be from a singleton or a doubleton. If so, West can cash three spade winners and have the heart ace in the background. But where is the fifth trick?

East is unlikely to have a club winner. West's best hope for success is gaining a diamond ruff. At trick two (or three), West should shift to his diamond.

Declarer will probably win in his hand and lead a low heart, but West rushes in with the ace, cashes the spade king (if he led his diamond at trick two), then leads the spade 10 (or jack). East will ruff the trick and return a diamond. West's ruff is the fifth defensive trick.

Hulk Hogan was fired Friday by WWE for using racial slurs.

Giants jump on

WWEcuts ties with Hulk Hogan STAMFORD, Conn.

(AP) — World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. has severed ties with Hulk Hogan amid a report that one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling history used racial slurs in a conversation caught on a sex tape.

The company deleted most references to Hogan on its website and issued a statement Friday saying it had terminated its contract with him.

WWE did not give a reason, but issued a statement saying it is "committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide."

On Friday, a joint report from RadarOnline. corn andThe National Enquirer said that Hogan had used racial slurs in a conversation caught on a sex video that is the subject of an invasion of privacy lawsuit.

Hogan, perhaps the biggest star in WWE's five-decade history, was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years in its signature events.

The league has required all 32 dubs to notify their fan bases before the regular season begins that they can reservetickets for any postseason game the team might host in that season. The resolution was passed in Marish at the owners' meetings.

Fans will have the option to be included on the list for purchasingpostseason tickets or to opt out. Essentially, each team can build a waiting list for playoff' tickets, which then will be processed once a team clinches a berth and/or a home game.

A moment later, a pair of UFC officials brought up a pair of beach towels to provide coveras Barao stripped off'all his clothing. Once bare, Barao got back on the scale and made the required weight.

Dillashaw criticized Barao, who once was one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the UFC, for struggling to make weight.

"I had to switch my opponent in 24 hours, which is a crazy feeling," Dillashaw told the Associated Press. "But I let it go, there is nothing to it now. He's the one unprofes-

sional and couldn't make the weight so I'm not really worried about it."

The 28-year old Brazilian said told the AP before his weigh-in, that he's grown up since that incident.

"I learned a lot, but the important thing I learned is to be more professional and train more like a professional fighter," Barao said through an interpreter. "All I can say to him is that I come much more aggressive to this fight and I have changed a lot."

Barao's last fight came in December, a three-round win against Mitch Gagnon. There was another attempt at a rematch in March, but that fight was postponed after Dillashaw broke his rib during training.

The card for Saturday' s event also has Miesha Tate (16-5) against Jessica Eye (11-2), with Tate hoping to get a third chance at facing Ronda Rousey.

"I think that if anyone is going to beat Ronda, it's going to be me. I feel like I need to get past this fight and I feel like I need to have a strong finish in the fight," Tate said. "Before I talked too much about Ronda, I need to go out there Saturday and prove why I deserve that fight. I have to stay focused on Jessica and she has to have my full attention."

Tate will also spend time ringside earlier in day, when her boyfriend Bryan Caraway (19-8) faces Eddie Wineland (21-10-1) in an u ndercard bantamweight fight.

The card also features a pair of lightweight fights. Edson Barboza (15-3) will face Paul Felder (10-0). Barboza will try to rebound after losing to Michael Johnson in February. Joe Lauzon (24-11) is scheduledto fight former Pride lightweight champion Takanori Gomi (35-10).

The man then lit the toilet paper on fire but lost control of the embers in the dry grass while trying to extinguishing the waste. Firefighters contained the flames several hours later.

Investigatorssay the m an c ontacted t h em Thursday morning and his story matched the evidence found at the scene.

The BLM says he will be fined for causing the fire.

UND will consider no nickname asoption FARGO, N.D.— Selecting a new nickname for the University of North Dakota has been so fraught with backlash that the school's president said Friday he' d reconsider another option

— none at all.

A committee submitted a list of five potential nicknames earlier this week for UND President Robert Kelly to approve for a public vote, but didn't include the possibility of going forward as "just North Dakota." That prompted people who want no nickname to

make angry postings on social media and organize a petitiondrive and at leastone protest.

Kelley believes a new nickname would be in the best interest of the Grand Forks school, he said in an email Friday morning to the campus community.

The school has been without a nickname for the last three years afler

the state Board of Higher E ducation retired t h e Fighting Sioux moniker that the NCAA deemed hostile and abusive.

Chavez didn't survive the fourthbut at least avoided a beaten ERA after leaving the bases loaded with no outs.

The Giants created the prime chance with some savvy, as Blanco singled and Peavy pulled back the bat after squaring to bunt.

"Enormous, enormous tal-

"We' re going to keep on developing young players, keep looking into the future," Klinsmann said. 'Two, three years down the road — what does this team look like? ...

You have to keep developing a team that you have in mind toward 2018 that's hopefully better than you did in Brazil."

Panama, reel ing &om the chaotic finish to its semifinal loss to Mexico, will be without five players because of suspension or injury. On the verge of victory Wednesday, the Panamanians, playing with 10 men, were called for a disputed hand ball. Mexico tied the game on the penalty kick and went on to win 2-1 after another penalty in extra time.

Midfielders Valentin Pimentel and Gabriel Gomez and forward Blas Perez are hurt, while forward Luis Tejada and goalkeeperJaime Penedo were each suspended two games by CONCACAF on Friday. Penedo was disciplined for pushing the as-

pass to start a double play.

It was the kind of chance that the Giants often regret wasting as they contemplate a loss. But they kept starting rallies, and the A's contributed a defensive lapse in a threerun fifth.

Posey singled, advanced on a wild pitch and scored when Pence doubled to the base of the arcade. Left-hander Eric O'Flaherty entered to face Brandon Belt, and there

was no second-guessing the strategy of A's manager Doug Melvin. Belt was batting .164 in 61 at-bats against lekies, perhaps leading club officials to contemplate acquiring a right-handed platoon partner for him via trade.

But Belt is showing signs of life of late. He lined a double o6' the bricks to score Pence, and the Giants added another run when A's third baseman Brett Lawrie threw away a routine grounder by Peavy.

After a season-long drought of runs at home, the Giants are dealing with a snowpack of late.

They were averaging just 3.39 runs at AT&T Park, the

fourth lowest average in the major leagues, afler scoring four runs in three games against the Meta on July 6-8.

But Pence returned to the lineup during that series, and there's no discounting his presence in their lineup.

The Giants scored 27 runs in their three-game home series against the Phillies to enter the All-Star break, and they came out swinging against the A' s.

Peavy benefited &om the run support while pitching effectively into the seventh inning for the fourth time in four starts since returning &om the disabled list. He allowed three runs on five hits, including Zobrist's blast in the seventh that hit the promenade and bounced into the water.

Peavy allowed just one run in the first six innings, and he would've avoided it if Blanco hadn't slowed up on Sam Fuld's foul fly near the line in the third. Fold followed with a double, advanced when Peavy fumbled Chavez's sacrifice bunt and scored on a ground ball.
