Fear and anxiety have been in the air around California's Latino political leaders in the weeks since the U.S. Supreme Court announced it will hear arguments next fall in a Texas case challenging the 51-year-old legal and political doctrine of one-person, one-vote.

These fears may turn out to be far more correct than other recentscares foroneparty orthe other.

The Texas case challenges the notion that congressional and legislative districts should be drawn with equal populations, regardless of the composition of the populace in each.

That was the precept dictated by the Supreme Court in the 1964 case of Reynolds vs. Sims, which based i ts r easoning on

the

Ot8'tL PoA~o W AN~ E%tNe 'To ~~ A B <WioMg<

ThoITIQ$

14th Amendment to the ', Hj Q $ Constitution, guaranteeing equal protection of therights of all persons under United States jurisdiction.

The challenge maintains only U.S. citizens eligible to vote should be taken into account when drawing districts, thus leaving out children of all ethnicities, legal immigrants waiting to become citizens and many others, including undocumented immigrants. The undocumented, of course, are the m ain targets ofthiseffort. '

It'sfacile to say that because Democratic fears over creat-

ing the Citizens Redistricting Commission that designed California's current districts never panned out, the current fears won't come to anything, either. In fact, Democrats control the California congressional delegation and both houses of the state Legislature by the same or larger margins under the new redistricting system as they did when state legislators drew thedistricts.

But some basic numbers suggest the change sought in the Texas case seems likely to create enormous change. And the current Supreme Court has shown it's willing, almost eager to retreat from previous signal laws like the Voting Rights Act. In California, the consequences of a ruling supporting eligible-voters-only population counts could be enormous. They could propel Republicans into a much more equal status in California they the party now enjoys, despite the GOP's dismal performance in registering new voters.

For instance, it now takes many more votes to win election to Congress in a reliably Republican district than in almost any Democratic district now represented by a Latino politician. In 2014, for example, Lucille Roybal-Allard won election with just 24,227 votes in an East Los Angeles district with about 250,000 residents. At the very same time, less than 50 miles away on the Orange County coast, Republican Dana Rohrabacher won election with about 85,000 votes. Democrat Xavier Becerra, also &om East Los Angeles, was reelected with 34,000 votes in that election, while Republican Carl DeMaio polled more than 75,000 in San Diego, but lost his race to Democrat Scott Peters.

The pattern was same in races for both houses of the state Legislature.

If the Supreme Court OKs the Texas measure, things would change radically for the Latino politicians who now benefit from the fact that their districts have low populations of potential voterscompared to more conservative Anglo and African-American ones with many more who are eligible.

The main consequence would be that districts would shift in a major way, with parts of the currently Latino-dominated ones incorporatedinto more conservative nearby districts.

That could lead to increased competition for seats long held by the many-termed likes of Becerra and Roybal-Allard.

There's also the strong possibility states like California, Texas and Florida would lose substantial numbers of congressional seats to other state far from the Mexican border which have attracted far fewer undocumented immigrants. Because the undocumented are counted in the state's population in determining how many seats in Congress each state gets, places with large numbers of illegal immigrants would lose seats and

GUEST COLUMN

ou

a or e m ocra s

Thursday was the biggest night of thepolitical year so far,for what happened on the stage at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena and for what happened offstage as well.

The stage was the scene of the first two Republican presidential debates, hosted by Fox News, which together lasted some 200 minutes between 5 and 11 p.m. EDT. What happened there did not go unnoticed. According to overnight Nielsen ratings, the twohour prime-time debate got a rating as high as the national basketball finals — almost triple the highest rating of a Republican debate in the 2012 cycle and more than half that of the fi rst Obama-Romney debate that fall. It was apparently the most watched primary debate in history.

That may havehelped Trump, the candidate whom many presumably tuned in to watch. He has a history of getting good TV ratings and has been leading most r ecent n ational

and state polls. But it's not clear that he gained (or lost) ground in this debate. He had some unhelpful testy interchanges but did nothing to disenchant those who already liked him.

The debate may also have helped, to varying degrees, the other nine candidates on the stage,each of whom had one or more memorable moments and showed hecould handle penetrating, even hostile questions with aplomb. Even as Trump held up his hand and refused to abandon the threat of running as an independent — his "leverage" — the debate may have helped the Republican Party, whose national image has suffered.

That image may havebeen helped even more for those who tuned in for the 5 o' clock "happy hour" debate and saw the assured, aggressive performance of Carly Fiorina, footage of

Michael Barone which the Fox moderators aired during the 9 p.m. main event.

Viewers hoping to see attacks on, or by, Trump were mostly (though not entirely) disappointed. What they saw instead was Trump acting more like a standard politician and his more con-

ventional rivals expanding on some of his themes.

Trump had some basis, though he exaggerated, when he said that his (unsavory) comments on immigration got other candidates talking about the issue. Ks candidacy has also prompted rivals to acknowledge the frustrations of many voters with political gridlock and economic sluggishness today.

Some frustration is inevitable, thanks to James Madison and the other delegates who wrote a Constitution full of checks and balances — and to an electorate tilting usually to Democrats in presidential elections and Republicans in congressional contests.

But Trump's campaign has prodded other candidates to expand on how they can overcome it.

Not all performed equally well. A man from Mars tuning in might wonder why Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, though competent, had been leading in pre-Trump polling. They didn't match Mike Huckabee's one-liners, Rand Paul's feistiness, Chris Christie's specifics, Ben Carson' s charm, Ted Cruz's clarity, John Kasich's ingenuousness or Marco Rubio's capacity to ad lib seamlessly from his relationship to God to the conduct of the Veterans Administration.

And none could respond to an event offstage that may have more immediate impact than the debate. That was the

announcement that Senator Charles

Schumer, Senate Democrats' leader-inwaiting, is voting to disapprove Barack Obama's deal with Iran. This was apparently leaked by the White House to the Hu%ngton Post during the debate — an even better time to bury news than apre-holiday-weekend Friday afternoon.

This came just one day after Obama's disgraceful speech where he likened Republican opponents of the deal to Iran regime supporters who chant "death to America!" A White House reporter might ask whether Schumer fits into that category at the next presidential press conference.

Administration strategists hoped that Schumer would support the deal or delay a "no" vote until it was too late to influence others. Instead he announced his position, in a thoughtful and serious statement, as members of Congress fan out to face constituents. Polls show votersare increasingly skepticalfor the reason Schumer found pivotal — skepticism about the deal will make Iran's leaders less hostile to America.

The "no" votes of Schumer and Eliot Engel,House Democrat and ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Committee (who also announced his stance on Thursday), mean there will be a large bipartisan majority against the deal.

Maybe even the two-thirds required for disapproval.

That casts a cloud on what Obama regards as his signal foreign policy achievement, even as the Cleveland debates showed the Republican race is not a clown show. It was a tough Thursday for the president and his party.

northern states like Wisconsin and Minnesota and Ohio and

Massachusetts, with relatively small numbers of immigrants of all types, would gain.

The change would also see a massive redistribution of federal grant money for everything from highways and sewers to parks and airports, all now determined in large part by state populations. Those services are used by everyone who lives in a given area, not just those eligible to vote.

Which makes many kinds of fears over this potential change seem realistic, especially when some Supreme Court justices began musing along similar lines as far back as the mid-1990s.

A fire believed to have been sparked by someone in Yosemite National Park is burning near the top of Upper Yosemite Fall, and fire crews are monitoring numerous lightning-strike fires and a hot spot le@ over from the 2013 Rim Fire in the Stanislaus National Forest.

The Upper Ere was discovered by hikers about 3:30 p.m.

Fire crews and Yosemite search-and-rescue personnel escorted hikers out of the fire area, Wuchner said. Hrefighters with Yosemite Helitack,supported by helicopter bucket drops, held the fire to 3 acres as of 10 p.m. Monday.

Suppression efforts were expected to continue Tuesday.

Two helicopters and 14 firefighters on the ground were assigned to the Upper Fire.

All trails to Yosemite Falls are temporarily closed.

Feds: DMV employees traded casb for licenses SACRAMENTO (AP) — As many as 100 commercial truck drivers paid up to $5,000 each to bribe state Department of Motor Vehicles employees for illegal California licenses,federalauthoritiessaid Tuesday.

Up to 23 trafficaccidents could be related to the fraud, officials said, though there were no fatalities.

Emma Klem, a 45-year-old Salinas DMV employee, and trucking school owner Kulwinder Dosanjh Singh, 58, of Turlock, both pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy to commit bribery and identity fraud, U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner said.

Two other DMV employees in Salinas and Sacramento and two other Central Valley trucking school operators have been arrested on similar charges.

Courtrecords say the employees changedcomputer records to falsely show that drivers had passed written and behind-the-wheel tests after they were bribed by the owners of three truck-driving schools between June 2011 and March 2015.

"Individuals who use their positions to obtain commercial drivers' licenses for unskilled and untested drivers jeopardize our nation's se-

Construction has begun on the first of several new artisan homes slated for development on Myers Hill in Sonora.

The homes are being built by the owners, brothers Marty Minners, of Sonora and Denny Minners, of Jamestown. They were designed by a new business, High Point Design Group, a collaboration of similarly design-minded friends who got together under unique circumstances.

The group consists of Jennifer "Jen n(Palhegyi) Owen, of Sonora, a former homeschool art teacher and clothing design industry staffer; Tim Finicle, of Sonora, who was trained in architecture and has 20 years experience in home/commercial design; and Anthony Frazier, of Murphy's, who is also trained in architecture and has 20 years experience in design, including graphic and web-based media.

The first house, now in the fram-

ing phase, will be a two-story Tuscan Mediterranean villa (complete with neighboring chickens), on a quarter acre on Minners Lane.

Retirement: the allure of renting

By JANE BENNETT CLARK Kipli nger's Personal Finance

I' ve always fi gured on buying a condo with cash when I downsize.

The idea of living without a mortgage seems liberating. But it turns out that buying rather than rent ing when you downsize is far from a no-brainer. For starters, renting is more flexible than owning. If you decide you hate your new digs, you can move again without a hassle.

Renting also allows you to keep

Dickey's Barbecue Pit restaurant will soon open in the Crossroads Shopping Center in Sonora.

It is going into the space vacated by Radio Shack, which closed earlier this year.

The barbecue grill will offer lunch, dinner, catering and take out, said owner Karl Reasoner, of Twain Harte.

This is Reasoner's first franchise venture and this Dickey's is not affiliated with the Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Jackson.

"We' re hoping to be open in November," Reasoner said Tuesday.

The Dickey's catering van was parked outside of the old Radio Shack at 1197 Sanguinetti Road this weekend and Tuesday.

Shelving fixtures fi'om Radio Shack are still on the walls inside the space. Reasoner said he hopes to start construction in the next few weeks to build the restaurant.

Retirement a lid on housing expenses. True, rents go up, but rental prices have to stay competitive with the local real estate market. By contrast,

homeowners association fees can rise significantly based on the costs of maintaining and upgrading the property. Plus, repairs and maintenance for a condo are on your dime; forrenters,they are someone else's problem.

Even if you buy your condo out right, you still have to come up with property taxes and homeowners insurance. Meanwhile, the money you used to purchase the unit is tied up. If you pay cash for your condo,you won'thave mortgage interest to deduct. If you do take out a mortgage, you may discover that such deductions don't have as big an impact on your tax bill as they did during your peak earning years.

Since the design group formed in 2013, the company has taken on 25 to 30 projectsfrom ScottsValley to Lafayette,to Calaveras County, Sacramento, to Pine

As a small firm, it offers what very few large companies do, and can do many things in house, Owen said.

"We offer a holisti c approach to residential design using old school principals with today's technology-custom designs, master planning, g raphic r e ndering — visual, thoughtful and personal," Owen said.

Finicle brought many contacts to the group and Owen too had many friendsand family who the group networked with. Word of mouth has worked so well, they haven'tdone any marketing to date, Owen said.

Both Finicle and Frazier are in the testing process for getting their architecture licenses in California.

Owen said the group also differsfrom large companies because the members establish an intimate relationship with clients and help them visualize and realize their dreams.

Continued from Page Bl Don't get me wrong: Owning a condo has real advantages. You can rip up the carpeting and knock out walls as you like (within reason) and enjoy the satisfaction of ownership. You also enjoy whatever priceappreciation the property gains over time, assuming you stay long enough for the appreciation to cover the closing costs (typically at

Jen Owen, of Sonora, talks about designing a Tuscan style home to be built on Myers Hill in Sonora.

"It's responsible design," Owen said.

For Owen, the new firm is a new beginning for her and an exciting, fulfilling one.

"I feel extremely privileged to be able to do this," Owen said.

The group learned about the Minners Way project through Owen's dad, contractor Ron P alhegyi, a friend of the Minners,' who

least five years).

Before you decide one way or the other, see how the numbers line up by going to one of the rent-versus-buy calculators available o nline. (I tried The New York Times calculator.) Based on the calculator' s analysis of my circumstances, I'd be better off buying a condo that lists for $350,000 (my optimum amount) than spending $2,500a month on rent for the dream apartment I

checked out in my neighborhood not long ago. That assumes I stay put for several years in the condo and that homeowners fees (and other variables) stay r e latively static.

Renting still makes sense if I find a more affordable apartment or want to keep my options open for a few years. It's nice to know I' ll have both options when I start looking seriously for my next new home.

HOME AIDE NEEDED;

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

Annie's Mailbox '~~> contactinformation.Instead,Igave our

son his biological father's contact information. He had no interest and tossed it away. He considers my husband to be his father.

To appease my ex (and hopefully stop him &om trying to track our son down), I told him I would send him general information about our son's life, along with a few pictures. But now I'm having second thoughts, because I know neither my husband nor our son would approve.I have done nothing so far and am stressed about the situation. I would appreciate your opinion. —SECOND THOUGHTS D EAR SECOND: If y our e x wanted to track down your son, he could probably do so without any appeasementkom you, but we understand why you are willing to

indulge him with photos and information. Nonetheless, you should not have made such a promise without consulting your son. It is his decision,sotalk to him. Explain that you don't expect him to want a relationship with his biological father,nor does he owe him any information. But it would be a kindness to give the man some peace of mind after all these years. Whatever decision your son makes, please abide by it.

DEARANNIE: I'm in a similar situation to "Not Jealous, Just Hurt," whose husband's ex-wife turned up at all the family funerals.

I've been married for 25 years antI

my husband'smother and daughter think it's perfectly OK for his ex-wife to be included in family gatherings.

His mother visits with his ex-wife now and then, and the woman is also welcome in her home. None of them, including my husband, seems to care how I feel about the situation. I don' t feel welcome. I'm ready to call it

Aspirin signij1cantly increases bleeding risk when added to Xarelto (or warfarin, or any of the other newer anticoagulants).

Throwing up blood is potentially a medical emergency, and you should at leasttalk to,ifnotsee,yourdoctorthat same day. If you threw up more than just a little blood, you should be on your way to the emergency room.

It means your mother-in-law will invite the ex because her granddaughter wants her there. It means your husband will tolerate this for his daughter's sake. You don't have to like this situation, but after 25 years, we are surprised you haven' t found a way to deal with it.

Son's wishes take priori over estranged ex DEAR ANNIE: I was divorced in 1972 and was given custody of our 2-year-old son. As much as I didn't want the divorce, my husband was an alcoholic who refused help. I finally realized it was the only way to protect my son.

My ex did not use his visitation rights and never paid child support.

I remarried when my son was 4. My new husband wanted to adopt him, but my ex at first refused to relinquish his rights. When my son was 6, my excalled early in the morning (drunk) aild said adoption was OK. When our son turned 10, my ex called wanting to see him. I refused, saying itwould be too disruptive to his life.

When my son was 18, I asked whether he wanted to know anything about his biological father, but he declined.

I asked him again at 21, saying that people can change and that he should be prepared for the day when his bio dad shows up on his doorstep. He didn' t care.

Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha and an enEast thusiastic bridge player, said, "I don't look to jump 4 J98 over seven-foot bars. I look around for one-foot bars 0 Q 10 6 3 that I can step over."

VKQ J10 V974 Thisweek,weare looking at New MinorForcing. J J g 6 4 0 Q1072 We have stepped over the textbook start to an y 4 4AKQ NMF auction: one of a minor - one of a major - one South no-trump - two of the unbid minor. The responder's 4 A K54 rebid is artificial, promises at least game-invitationV 82 al, and asks opener for more information. But what t 3 does responder's three-club jump-rebid mean in this deal?

With a strong hand, responder would first use Dealer: North NMF, then continue with three clubs. So three clubs TI/LI]llePabie East gest should be a weak signof, showing six or more South West N orth E a st clubs and no interest in game.

One no-trump would go down two. How should South plan the play in three clubs after West leads 3+ Pass P a s s Pa s s the heart king? Did West have a more effective opening salvo?

South starts with six losers: two spades, one Opening lead: V K heart and three clubs. Here, if declarer immediately plays a trump, hoping for a 2-2 trump break, East will take three club tricks, and the contract will fail.

Instead, declarer should immediately cash dummy'stop diamonds and discard hissecond heart. Then he should take his top spades, ruff a spade in the dummy, ruff a red suit back to his hand, and ruff his last spade. East may overruff, but the contract is safe.

West would have defeated the contract with a trump lead — tough to find.

When you have a weak hand with a long suit, bail from no-trump into your suit.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

The Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors shall conduct a public hearing at 1:30 p.m., or shortly thereafter, on Tuesday, the 1st of September, 2015 at the Board of Supervisors Chambers at 2 South Green St., Sonora, CA. The hearing is being called by the Board of Supervisors for the purpose of soliciting citizen's views to set priorities for the potential submission of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to the State Department of Housing and Community (HCD) in 2015. Citizen participation is encouraged throughout the grant process, the requirements for which are explained in Section 7080 of the State Community Development Block Grant program regulations.

The dollar amount of the Community Development and Economic Development Allocations varies each year, and is listed in the State Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). Last year, the maximum allowable under the Community Development Allocation was $2,000,000. The Economic Development "Over the Counter" (OTC) Allocation requires a separate application with a maximum limit of $3,000,000 per year. The NOFA also includes Native American and Colonias Allocations. The Native American Allocation is only for areas of high concentrations of low-income Native American residents, who are not part of a federally recognized Native American Indian tribe or Rancheria. The Colonias funding is only for designated communities within 150 miles of the Mexican-American border.

The major activity categories under the allocations in the NOFA are homeownership assistance, housing rehabilitation, community facility and public work projects, business assistance and microenterprise activities, planning studies and public service programs. Eligible activities paid for with state CDBG funds must meet one or more of the three national objectives listed in CDBG federal statutes as follows: benefit to low income households or persons; elimination of slums and blight; or meeting urgent community development need (a need from a state or federally declared disaster).

There is no guarantee that an application submitted by the County will be funded as there are always more proposals submitted than there are funds available. Interested citizens, civic organizations and citizen groups are encouraged to express their opinions and ideas at this hearing.

Any proposed application to HCD will be submitted to a public hearing before its submission to afford citizens an opportunity to examine its contents and submit comments on it.

The Board will also discuss the final Grantee Performance Report for grant ¹12-CDBG-8421 including the Jamestown Sewer Project ($973,310), Housing Stabilization ($338,960 ), Homeless Services ($161,040 ), and Meals on Wheels ($100,000).

The County promotes fair housing and makes all its programs available to low and moderate income families regardless of age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual preference, marital status or handicap. If you need special accommodations to participate in the public hearing please contact Maureen Frank at (209) 533-551 1.

A public information file, including the annual reports and the State regulations, will be available at the County Administrative Office during normal working hours from August 25 to September 1, 2015. Written comments by County residents are invited in addition to comments at the public hearing. Please mail to: CDBG, Tuolumne County Administrative Office, 2 South Green St., Sonora, California, 95370.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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.

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.

MLB Former 49ers Davis talks comeback SANTA CLARA — Former San Francisco 49ers right tackle Anthony Davis is now talking about an NFL ret urn year

next at

some point, just two months after he announced his early retirement atage 25 following a head injury last season.

"When I return I' ll be the best RT in the league again. H a nds D o w n. ¹Know Yourself," Davis posted on his Twitter account Tuesday. He has said heexpected to take a year off to allow himself to fully heal.

On June 5, Davis announced his retirement from the Niners in another surprising offseason departurefor the team.

San Francisco's 11th overall pick in the 2010 draft out of Rutgers was affected by a concussion latelastyear.He became the fourth p r ominent 49ers playerto retire in three months — joining linebackers Patrick Willis and Chris Borland and defensive end Justin Smith. The a nnouncement came just four days before the team's mandatory June minicamp, and he hadn't participated in the organization' s offseason program.

On Dec. 4, Davis said he was able to drive home following a cross-country flight from New York in November despite feeling "loopy" from a concussion he didn't initially realize was so severe. Davis was experiencing symptoms after he took an elbow to the head during the Nov. 16 victoryover the Giants. He missed the next four games before returning for the Niners' last two contests.

Raiders rookie makes campdebut NAPA (AP) — Clive Walford practiced for the first time in training camp with the Oakland R aiders o n Tuesday.

The third-round pick m issed the fi rs t n i n e days ofpractice with an apparent leg injury he suffered during the rookie portion of camp. The team has not disclosed the nature or extent of

the injury but the training staff was cautious with him during his rehab.

Back onthe fi eld Tuesday for an evening workout, th e 6 - foot-4-inch, 250-pound Walfordwent through several individual position drills, took part in a handful of team s crimmage plays a n d also spent time working on specialteams before sitting out the final 20 minutes of practice.

Minutes later, he completed a five-hitter with 12 strikeouts, backed by Brandon Belt's two solo home runs that broke up a pitcher's duel as the San Francisco Giants beat the Houston Astros 3-1 on Tuesday night. sWe've seen now he definitely can sense a big moment and seems to pitch his best inbig games," catcher Buster Posey said.

Belt's homers, in the fourth and sixth innings, gave him 17 this season to match his career high also done in 2013. It was his third career multihomer game and second this year for the defending champion Giants, who bounced back at home after being swept by the Cubs in four games over the weekend at Wrigley Field.

"Huge lift," Bochy said.

"You get in a tough deal like we get in losing four straight there and it's usually a wellpitched game that gets you out of it. He threw a beautiful game."

Bumgarner (13-6) outpitched fellow s outhpaw Scott Kazmir (6-7) in an anticipated interleague matchup of top lefties for the World Series MVP's eighth career complete game and second this season. He didn' t walk a batter in the 105-pitch gem and at one point struck out seven consecutive hitters.

Kazmir, who had allowed only one earned run for a 0.44 ERA in three starts since joining his hometown Astros in aJuly 23 trade from Oakland, committed two throw-

ing errors while losing his second straight start.

B umgarner posted h i s 23rd career double-digi t strikeout game and fourth this season. He surrendered a triple to Evan Gattis in the seventh on a ball center fielder Gregor Blanco had in his glovebut dropped after crashing into the wall. Chris Carter drove home Gattis

It's the first time in Blue Jays history the team has recorded two nine-game winning streaks in a season. Toronto won a season-high 11 straight in June.

Blue Jays starting pitchers have held the opposition to three earned runs or fewer in 15 consecutive games.

Hutchison (11-2) allowed t wo runs and four h it s i n

seven-plus innings. The righthander hadn't completed seven innings since a completegame victory over the Chicago White Soxon May 25.

Oakland's Marcus Semien said Hutchison "got quick outs when he needed to" against the last-place Athlet1CS.

"I had one at-bat where I got 0-2 pretty quick and it seemed like he had the ability to do that all night," Semien said.

Hutchison is 9-1 with a 2.68 ERA in 12 home starts and 2-1 with a 9.00 ERA in 11 road outings.

After the first two Oakland batters singled in the third, Hutchison got Crisp to ground into a double play, starting a streak in which he set down 14 of 15.

"It's pretty fun to watch when he gets like that," Toronto's Chris Colabello said of Hutchison. "He was pretty impressive today."

Hutchison left to a stand-

He is 19 for 42 in his past 12 games.

Soler extended his hitting streak to 10, and Chicago took advantageof three errors along with some wild pitching on the way to yet another win.

Cain, who raised his average to .316,led off the sixth with his 12th homer, a mammoth shot to left field.

Mike Moustakas snapped an 0-for-18 drought with a homer to right field with Kendrys Morales aboard in the same inning.

OLYMPIC BASKETBALL

US men's basketball starts road t0 Ri0 with minicamp LAS VEGAS (AP) Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul were in the gym. LeBron James could join them Wednesday.

Dwight Howard came back in hopes of playing in another Olympics. Stephen Curry showed up to register his interest in playing in his first.

Though still nearly a year away, it's clear the U.S. has plenty of players who want to go to Rio de Janeiro.

The two-time defending gold medalists opened a brief, light minicamp Tuesday under coach Mike Krzyzewski with nearly three dozen of the NBA's best players who want to be considered for the 12 spots on the final roster.

Gone are the days when the Americans couldn't even find enough interested players in an Olympic year. Even though some of them still aren't even healthy enough to compete, 34 accepted an invitation to Las Vegas.

"Over the years there's been continual buy-in and a lot of success, so where it was not an 'in' thing to play for USA Basketball back in 2005, today, as indicated by who's here, and the great interest in wanting

to be part of USA Basketball, it just says that our players really did buy in to the whole program and that makes you feel pretty good," USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said.

Durant and Anthony, whose seasons were cut short by injuries, participated in drills that were little more than shooting. Anthony and James could make U.S. history if they play in a fourth Olympics in 2016. Along with Paul, they could become the first men's basketball three-time gold medalists.

"I' ve been part of USAB since I was 18 years old. It's like, you look back at all of it, I have a chance to do something special here, playing in my fourth Olympics, going

for my third gold medal," Anthony said. "Myself, LeBron, CP, can go for three, so there's some history here to be made."

Howard played with them in 2008 but was forced to withdraw from the 2012 team because of back surgery. Even though he' s battled a number of injuries since, the 29-year-old center seems ready to give up part of another summer next year.

"That's kind of tough to do but Ijustwant to be able to be a part of somethingspecialthat's bigger than myself, which is playing for the Olympic team," Howard said.

"It's something that once you get older you can tell your kids, your grandkids that you were part of the Olympic team that did such and such."

Curry hasn't yet, winning two world titles and an NBA championship but not making the roster in 2012. So even though the NBA's

MVP isn't playing this week, he game in South Africa and said he, came anyway for what was essen- James and Anthony have talked tially a m andatory appearance, about making history in Brazil.

"It's something that could be since Colangelo says the Americans likely won't hold another camp next pretty special and all of us are here summer before selecting their final for the opportunity to be part of the roster. team next summer," Paul said. "I'm "Whatever 12 guys they select here just like the rest of the guys to next summer, I just hope to be one show Coach K my commitment." of them," Curry said.
