City ranked No. 36 on Bloomberg list of 'micropolitan areas'

Sonora is on a list of the "Richest Small Towns in America" put together by Bloomberg Business and bloomberg.corn.

The list, published Aug. 19, lists Sonora as No. 86 in the nation, based on statistics including median household income and median home values.

That puts Sonora in company with famous small towns like Jackson,Wyoming, Vineyard Haven on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, and Key West, Florida.

It's a pleasant surprise to find Sonora listed with communities that appeal to the well-heeled, some Sonora-areabusiness and real estate professionals said Monday.

But the Bloomberg list does not account for some widely acknowledged realities here, especially the challenging local economy.

The unfunded total for improvements over 5.5 years listed is $19,885,926. As a draft plan, it is subject to change. The final plan total of unfunded improvements for water and sewer will likely be a key figure in an upcoming study the district is planning to justify raising ratesforitscustomers.

Bob Holton Not that I believe in fairy tales myself, but it would be hard to dismiss as idle myth the following stories of lost gold mines, hidden treasure and vast fields of yellow wealth gone missing.

For instance, there's the Lost Lode of the Sierra — an unspeakably rich deposit of gold-bearingquartz said to be located a few miles southwest of Sonora Pass, bordered on one side by Highway 108 and on the other by the far reaches of Yosemite National Park.

Perhaps you' ve heard of Gold Lake.Thought to be situated in Sierra County — or it might be Butte County by some accounts — its shores are allegedly strewn with gold-laced boulders and giant nuggets of all shapes and sizes as far as the eye can see.

There's the lost Goose Egg Mine of El Dorado County, the missing Humbug Mine of Siskiyou County, the elusive Waterfall Mine of Shasta County, and so forth.

In the 1920s, during Prohibition, a bootlegger supposedly used water from Gold River to secretly run an underground still until revenuers shut him down.

More recently, it has been rumored that anunnamed scuba diver swam all the way from near the Springfield trout farm to Columbia using air tanks.

Ralph Squires, 86, says he has located a sizable lake beneath Columbia's main parking lot by using a divining rod. Long-time cave explorer and master dowser, Squires bought Marble Quarry RV Park in 1978 for the express purpose of finding Gold Lake through a series of cave openings on the property.

Sesame Street: The churning of market forces in television are once again forcing the question of why Americans are spending hundreds of millions of tax dollars a year on public broadcasting. On August 13, HBO announced it was buying all-new episodes of the iconic PBS show "Sesame Street," delaying their debut on PBS for nine months.

Decades of liberal mockery of Republicans f or = wanting to "kill Big Bird" just collapsed in an ugly pile. The s h ow that was supposedly dedicated to poor kids in "underserved" communities was just sold to the highest-bidding paywall in Yuppie Land. Before that they were negotiating with Amazon and Netfiix as well.

Conservatives have said it fo r decades: "Sesame Street" is a commercial property that could be shopped for big bucks. There never was a need for government funding. Both broadcast and cable networks would pay a pretty penny to get their hands on this program.

They knew it, too. But it was so much easier to stay at PBS and live off the generosity of the unsuspecting American taxpayer. And here's the most insulting fact: PBS refuses to release the financials showing exactly how much money Sesame Workshophas been raking in selling their merchandise. How many Americans know that "Sesame Street" comes from a privately owned company?

Yes, America. You paid to produce it. The hypocritical hucksters in this Sesame scam have milked the product for hundreds of millions of dollars in merchandising, while producing just 18 new episodes each year. Under HBO, this will almost double to 35.

How many hundreds of millions? That question's been asked by many people, including members of Congress, and "Sesame Street" refuses to answer. Now, according

L. Brent

to The New York Times, the secrecy continues: "It is not

clear how much HBO is paying, as financial terms of the deal were not disclosed."

The dealhappened because young kids today don't wait fora show to air at a set time.

They live-stream them on tablets at their whim. Sesame Workshop bigwigs claimed two-thirds of children now experience their show first on a video-on-demand or live-streaming service. So HBO, with a new HBO Now live-streaming service, just went out and bought the highest-prestige property in children's TV. "If this is where the children are, we have to recognize that shift and have more than a home on PBS," said Sesame Workshop CEO Jeff Dunn. But they insisted on keeping a home base on PBS, since that's always a crucial part of Sesame branding. As usual, they want to have their "public" TV cake and eat it, too.

HBO is not an innocent kiddie brand. It's infamous for extreme sex, violence and the most vicious baiting of traditional moral values (See Bill Maher.) Tim Winter of the Parents Television Council put it just right in The New York Times. "In order to watch original episodes of the most iconic children's program in television history, parents are now forced to fork over about $180 per year and subscribe to the most sexually explicit, most graphically violent television network in America. I can't imagine a greater juxtaposition in television than this."

For "Sesame Street," PBS is now just a dumping ground for reruns, which PBS will get for free. It should now be impossible for PBS stations and PBS brass to say tax dollars are essential to keep "Sesame Street" on the air. But if they' re as cynical about money as the Sesame Workshop, they may keep trying that shameless pitch.

GUEST COLUMN

Pot harm ignored in legalization push Four potential ballot initiatives completely legalizing marijuana are in the works for California's next general election, with pot advocates yet to choose the variation that will get their concerted push.

But one thing for sure: Whichever one they send out for signature gathering will say nothing about the detrimental effects of the mind-altering weed, well known a proven demotivating factor for heavy users.

The eventual pot legalization initiative (its official name is yet to be determined) will likely tax pot producers and dealers just like other businesses. And it will contain rules against anyone under 21 obtaining it, like measures adopted in Colorado and Washington.

There will also be no nonsense about doctors' recommendations, now required for medical marijuana use under Propo-

sition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996. Those recommendations, often faked, now facilitate cannabis use for plenty of folks with no discernible medical problem. This, of course, does not change the fact marijuana has helped plenty of cancer patients and others who need their pain alleviated, as well as helping vision problems and other ailments marijuana often eases.

Essentially, all this means there is no longer much, if any, stigma attached to using marijuana. Entrepreneurs all over California are already gearing up to market everything &om bongs to cannabis-laced fudge the moment legalization arrives.

But as acceptance of marijuana has increased, both nationally and in California,the dangers also have risen.A 2014 study in the medical journal Current Addiction Reports (http J/link. springer.corn/ article/10.1007%2Fs40429-014-0019-6)

found that using pot only once a week can lead to cognitive decline, lower IQ and memory problems. Other studies published in the New England Journal of Medicineand other peer-reviewed medical magazines report a link between recreationalpot use and brain abnormalities in young adults. Some law enforcement officials report more serious problems, too.

Not to worry, say legalization advocates, because the age limit will keep marijuana away from teenagers. The identical rule, of course, applies to alcohol, and how successful is that in preventing teenage and college drinking?

Acceptance of pot is so widespread that two of California's most conservative Republican congressmen, Tom McClintock of Roseville and Dana Rohrabacher of Orange County, along with liberal Democrat Sam Farr of Monterey County, are now pushing to prevent any federal interference with legalizing the weed.

The GOP dominated House of Representativespassed the so-called Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment earlier this year on a non-partisan vote, seeking to

prevent the federal Justice Department from stopping legalization anywhere.

And a McClintock-sponsored amendment that barely failed in the House wouldhave forbidden federalprosecution of pot dealers and users anyplace where state laws allow recreational marijuana.

All this ignores the sometimes fatal effects of pot use reported in a new study &om the Arizona Department of Health Services. Examining all deaths of Ari-

zona children under age 18, the department concluded 128 fatalitiesin 2014 resulted from substance abuse. Marijuana was the most prevalent substance associated with child deaths, linked to 62, far more than alcohol or methamphetamine.

This, when just 7.5 percent of Arizonans use marijuana regularly, compared with 52 percent who use alcohol. So there' s little doubt pot is a more serious problem for youngsters who use it than beer or liquor.

Translate the Arizona numbers to California, six times as large but with no similar tracking of teenage deaths, and the likelihood is that more than 300 youthful fatalities here were tied to pot use last year.

Says Sheila Polk, county attorney for Yavapai County, Ariz., northwest of Phoenix, "Legalizing an addictive drug that is linked to...increased psychosis and suicidal ideas, lowered IQ, memory loss, impaired learning and academic failure means more damaged lives and lost opportunities for our youth. It's unconscionable to experiment this way."

Wrote Republican William Bennett, the nation's first drug czar and a former secretary of education, "Overseeing or encouraging more marijuana use is just about the last thing a government trying to elevate (living conditions) would do. At stake is the safety of our youth."

Sadly, it's unlikely voters will hear anything much like this when the drumbeat for legalization begins in earnest late next year.

Wine train issues apology to women SAN FRANCISCO — The Napa Valley Wine Train issued an apology Tuesday to a book club that includes mostly black women who said they were booted from a tastingtour because oftheir race.

The company also promised additional training for employees on cultural diversity and sensitivity, and offered the group free passes for50 peopleforafuturetrip.

"The Napa Valley Wine Train was 100 percent wrong in its handling of this issue," CEO Anthony "Tony" Giaccio said in a statement. "We accept full responsibility for our failures and for the chain of eventsthat led to this regrettabletreatment of our guests."

The 11 members of the book club, all but one of whom is African American, said rude employees ordered them ofF the train on Saturday, midjourney,and marched them down severalaisles to their embarrassment.

LAS VEGAS — President Barack Obama is putting people on notice: He's back from vacation feel ing "refreshed, renewed, recharged" — and "a little feisty."

Obama said that as he' d ridden to the fundraiser with Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, they'd done some reminiscing and spent some time "figuring out how we are going to deal with the crazies in terms of managing some problems."

He didn't identify exactly who the two of them had defined as "crazies."

"El-Khazzani watched a video of Islamicpreaching onboard" on YouTube on his mobile phone shortly before he got up to start walking through the train with the weapons, Molins told reporters at a news conference. The suspect's phone was found in a bag left on the train.

The gunman was subdued by a group of three American &iends and a British businessman. Another man who tried to stop him — a French-American named Mark Moogalian — remained hospitalized with a gunshot wound.

With the formal investigation opened, investigatingmagistrates are expected to file numerous preliminary charges against El-Khazzani.

Mower cause of Columbia College to spare some Fraguero Road fire classes with lower enrollment

By SEAN CARSON The Union Democrat

A riding lawn mower started a fire Monday off Fraguero Road in Sonora that hurt the property owner and destroyed a barn.

The fire, reported about 10 a.m., also burned about a half-acre of dry grass and threatened a nearby home before crews contained the

spark and said he was told this by Pontious' son, Daniel, who lives next door.

Over the summer, Columbia College student Brad Sullivan hung posters to boostenrollment for a fall semester class he needed to graduate by spring.

At that point, only three students had signed up, and Sullivan, a member of severalstudent advising services and the ASCC Student Body president, knew the class could be cut due low enrollment.

Though the course enrollment remained low, it was spared to accommodate the needs of a small major and move those students through in a timely manner, according to Columbia College President Dr. Angela Fairchilds.

Peggy Mosley, owner of the Groveland Hotel, said 2015 has been a very good year for the business.

Businesses hard hit by 2013's Rim Fire and government shut down are making great gains

By SEAN CARSON The Union Democrat 'in

Business owners in Groveland are reporting high profits and growing confidence this summer, two years after one of the worst wildfires in the history of the Sierra Nevada decimated wildlands that draw millions annually through the community dependent on tourist dollars.

Two years ago this month, the Rim Fire broke out and ultimately burned 402 square miles of land, 111 structures, and forced the evacuationofresidents and visitors,before containment in late October 2013.

Grovelandwas overrun with fi re crews, and several businesses were shut down during the nearly twomonth battle of the blaze.

A government shutdown in October2013,furtherstymied tourist trafllc with the closure of Yosemite National Park.

The result: A local economy's busiest season was cut short by months and left without the scenic attractions to bring back visitors the next year.

"I started this year with over $100,000 in debt, but I' ve been able to paythat alloffand I'vegota few acorns put away for winter," Peggy Mosley, owner the Groveland Hotel, said about this summer.

Mosley has owned the hotel for 15 years. It staffs 27 in peak summer months and features 17 rooms, the Cellar Door restaurant and a courtyardforspecialevents.

Another, local business Dori's Tea Cottage and Cafe also pulled itself out of debt in 2015. ''We got behind and had to put inventoryon creditcards, "said owner Greg Jones. "We never knew from one dayto a nextifwe'd be busy.W e kept on employees, but cut hours."

slump since 2011, dumping stocks now or pulling back on contributions to your plan is likely to hurt your prospectsfor higher retirement income in the long run, financial advisers say.

In fact, for everyone but those who are planning to retire in the next two or three years, the m arket decline could be a good opportunity to boost 401(k) contributions and get more for your money.

"Avoid making knee-jerk emotional reactions," said David Shotwell, a certified financial planner at Rutter Baer in Lansing, Michigan.

"That volatility that we face now is the price we pay to have better r e t u rn s o v er time. And the ones that lose

are the ones that get out at the wrong time, when things are low."

For investors looking to retire within the next two or three years,resist the temptation to sell all your stocks in favor of bonds.

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 call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.corn

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: lf 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.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: Thesale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

Living conditions more than wife can handle DEAR Altlml<' My h u s band,

Annie's Mailbox '~~>

"Ben,a and I each lost a spouse and

then found each other. We live in the same house with one of his daughters and a granddaughter. Ben is quite attached to this house. The two daughters are the owners now, but their father bought it originally and has always maintained it.

The daughter who lives here has a neurological disorder, which keeps her from accepting me. She has only spoken to me by name two or three times, although she knows how to blow up at us when something makes her angry.

I try to greet her every morning with a family nickname that she likes, but she still only grunts in reply.

It seems that she has influenced the granddaughter to resent me, as well. I have tried to put my foot down on occasion, but mostly, I just meekly defend myself from her criticism. My husband feels sorry for her and she fawns over him, so he believes that she can do no wrong. He cannot hear well, so he is

unaware of how she speaks to me.

I' ve asked Ben about moving to a place of our own, but he won't do it.

He also doesn't like the idea of paying rent when he has a place to live for free. And his daughter wants him to staybecause he does alloftheupkeep and pays the bills.

Annie, I cringe when I hear one of these girls coming, and I hide if I can.I have prayed about my anger and tried to overcome the fear I feel at an encounter. Ben would not condone my going for counseling, as he is a minister himself. Is there anything I can do? —COMING IN THIRD DEAR TIIIRD: You do not need Ben's permission to get counseling to help you deal with an un-

fair and unpleasant situation that he is perpetuating. Was the living situation discussed in advance?

Did you agree to live with his daughter forever?Your minister husband should be aware that spousespromise to put each other firstwhen they marry. He has not done this. Please get counseling with or without Ben. You also may need toget a place ofyour own to find peace, and if Ben refuses to relocate with you, suggest that he visit often.

DEAR AN N I E: S o me c l o se friends of ours have become lazy hosts. When we have a party at our home, we provide the food and other items. If we have a potluck, each guest brings a dish and we provide the main course and the drinks.

For these friends, the last few birthday partieshave been at restaurants where we paid for our own meals. The "hosts" might bring a cake, but the rest of us are expected

to bring a gift to the honoree.

This seems cheap to me. We enjoy getting together, but would appreciate a little more effort. Otherwise, they aren't hosting the party at all. We are. —NOT SO SOCIAL IN LOUISVILLE, KY. DEAR NOT SO: If you are paying your own way, then they are not hosting the event. However, it is not uncommon for a bunch of friends to get together to celebrate someone's birthday, in which case, there is no host at all.

We hope theyreciprocate foryour lovely home hospitality in some other way.

Finding the best BMI for a long life is complicated DEAR DIL ROACH: I am an 81-yearold man in good health. I atn 5 feet, 11 inches tall and now weigh 175 pounds after intentionally losing 15 pounds through a combinationofdiet and exercise.Ifeelbetter at this weight than I did at my former weight, but my doctor says the studies he has read show that if a person is slightly overweight, he is likely to live longer than a person who weighs less. Do you agree with his position? — D.N.K ANSWER: This is an area of research that has created a great deal of controversy.

We have long known that being very thin is associated with a high mortality, and being morbidly obese also is associated with a high risk. The optimum level of BMI (body mass index, an imperfect way of expressing weight adjusted for height) for longevity has changed over time. Previous studies postulated a very thin BMI of 22, as the one associated with lowest risk of death. However, your doctor is right that most of the newer research has identified that what was formerly considered slightly overweight, a BMI of 26 to 28, has a lower overall mortality risk than a lower BMI. In your example, your

portant, and that listening to your body is critical. I don't recommend that people who are mildly overweight lose weight just to lose weight. There are unhealthy ways to lose weight, which probably do more harm than good. I would recommend a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, whole Keith Roach, M.D. grains, nuts and fish, and modest amounts of red meat. I also strongly recommend a BMI went from 26.5 to 24.5. regularexercise regimen, which need be However, the situation is far more com- no more complicated than a daily walk, plex and nuanced. A healthy diet probably building up to at least an hour a day (but it has more impact on mortality than a small doesn't have to be all at one time). Pay more change in BMI. Exercise almost certainly attention to diet and exercise, and let the has a more beneficial effect. Most important weight take care of itself. of all, the relationship between BMI and Please note, though, that I am talking mortality does not imply causation; that is, about those who are mildly overweight. itmight notbe thatbeing too thin increases Most people with more serious weight isthe risk of death.

Today in history Today is Wednesday, August 26, the 238th day of 2015. There are 127 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing American women's right to vote, was certified in effect

by Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby.

On this date: In 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa began cataclysmic eruptions, leading to a massive explosion the following day.

In 1939, the first televised major league baseball games were shown on experimental station W2XBS: a double-header between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field. (The Reds won the first game, 5-2, the Dodgers the second, 6-1.)

In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson was nominated for a term of office in his own right at the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

In 1978, Cardinal Albino Luciani (al-BEE'-noh looCHYAH'-nee) of Venice was elected pope following the death of Paul Vl. The new pontiff took the name Pope John Paul I. (However, he died just over a month later.)

In 1985, 13-year-old AIDS patient Ryan White began "attending" classes at Western Middle School in Kokomo, Indiana, via a telephone hook-up at his home after school officials had barred Ryan from participating in person.

In 2009, authorities in California solved the 18-year disappearance of Jaycee Lee Dugard after she appeared at a parole office with her children and the Antioch couple who'd kidnapped her when she was 11.

Agencies vulnerable to IT security breach S ACRAMENTO ( A P ) — Many California state agencies are not complying with the state's information technology standards, leaving them vulnerable to a major security breach of sensitive data such as Social Security numbers, health information or tax returns,the state auditor reported Tuesday.

"Our review found that many state entities have weaknesses in their controlsover information security. These weaknesses leave some of the state' s sensitive data vulnerable

suring compliance with IT standards, the Department of Technology, has failed to ensure agencies are complying; a voluntary "selfcertification" of compliance was confusing and poorly worded, she wrote, leading many agencies to report that they were complying when they were not. She also criticized the department for its slowness in auditing agencies.

"At its current pace, it would take the technology departmentroughly 20 yearsto audit allreporting

to unauthorized use, disclo-

Erlin called the auditing time — three months for a small entity and 10 to 20 months for a large entity"prettyexceptional."

"Could they do more with actually implementing information security controls with some of the budget that they have spent on authting?" he asked.

The Department of Technology said in a written response to the audit that it is committed to improving oversight and to "improving the state's overall information security posture."

The department has already taken steps to better train staff on compliance reporting, updated itsforms and is updating its internal procedures, Secretary Maribel Batjer wrote. A spokeswoman for the department declined to answer further questions about the findings.

"We need to start prioritizing security. The government has a vast amount of critical information, a vast amount of personal information and it's our responsibility to protect it," said Assemblywoman J a cqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, chairwoman of the Assembly Select Committee on

She notes that the state is aprime target for information security breaches as government agencies keep extensive amounts of confidential data. Many agencies also have not sufficiently planned for interruptions or disasters, she found.

In June, the federal Office of Personnel Management announced a major hack that exposed personal information of about 20 million current and former federal employees and job applicants.

"Given the size of California's economy and the value of its information, if unauthorized parties were

to gain access to this information, the costs both to the state and to the individuals involved could be enormous," Howle wrote.

California likely also is not alone in its security gaps,with some statesfaring worse and some better, said Tim Erlin, a director of security and IT risk strategist for Portland, Ore.-based security firm Tripwire.

"Governmenthas a much more robustaudit process that's public," Erlin said.

'You never get a report like this from a Fortune 500 company unless something bad has already happened."

Given t h e sk i r mishes around the league so far in such two-team training-camp scenarios, the Niners and Broncos want to keep things classy in the Mile High City.

The teams wil l p r actice together Wednesday and Thursday before they face off in a preseason game Saturday night.

"In terms of what other peopledo in these,I'd be extremely disappointed if anything like t hat h appened where we were," Tomsula said. "I don't expect it."

son.

"We are definitely going to be throwing the ball a lot more,"Ziehlke laughed. "We worked on the passing game all summer. I feel we have those plays down pretty well."

With teams focused on stopping Ziehlke and the Bret Harte rushing attack, it may be the receivers who benefit.

"Michael rushed for nearly 1,000yards lastyear,soteams aregoing to be expecting him to run the ball," said junior receiver Bucky Sewell. "So that will make it easier for me to getpastthedefense and score touchdowns. I feel like we can take advantage of any team.

I know that we are viewed as a running team, but I think we can pass on any team we want."

Sewell, Austin Hig, Luke Pinney and Zeke Renner are

all solid targets for Ziehlke in the passing game.

"Bucky and Luke have been greattothrow the ballto and they make great catches," Ziehlke said. "We have a lot more skilled position players than we had last year."

Bret Harte will line up 6-foot-5, 260-pound Preston at tight end. Preston spent his sophomore season on the

varsityroster,and the junior knows what is expected of him this year.

'Tve been working on my footwork speed and working on getting my hands up to catch passes," Preston said.

"Even though I'm lined up at the tight end position, that doesn't mean I will always go out fora pass.So it's alm ost like an extra blocker."

With Preston as an extra lineman, that will help Dalton Kaua, Jordan Porras, Anthony Silva, Recce Paris, and Jacob Cunningham with the blocking duties.

"We want our linemen to be nasty," Kester said. "I want them to be nastier than the defensive line they are going up against. Just because we run the triple option doesn' t

mean that we are a finesse team. We' ve got beefand experience on the offensive line.

We' ve got guys who are fast and strong. We want them to get up and get after their man and don't surrender."

DEFENSE In 2014, Bret Harte gave up the most points in the MLL. But the defensive unit this year has been flying around and making plays in practice.

"So far, defensively we are doing really well," Howard said. "We are ready to hit and we feel like we can be the best defense in the league this year. We have a bunch of new guys that want to hit who are notafraid ofanybody.We want to win the league. We think that we can beat anybody and that we are just as good as any other team."

Kester hopes that a missed tackle, or a blown coverage will not be something that will mentally take the 'Frogs out of a game.

"They'd hold them and do well, hold them and do well, and then they would miss one tackle and he'd be gone," Kester said. "It wasn't much in the way of the defensive schematics. It was the, there was someone taking the play off and they (the opponent) always found them."

This year, through summer practice, defense has been an emphasis. The unit, which has been built with two-way impact players that will rest primarily on offense, will be coached by those who have a defensive mindset.

"A team could get the ball on their own 1-yard line and drive down to the other 1-yard line. If they (the opponent) don't score, the defense has been successful," Kester said.

"The defense is allabout survival. It's get after the ball, it's pursuit, it's be aggressive, it's take some risks. It's attack, attack, attack."

Bret Harte's defense starts with its defensive line. Preston, as well as Porras and Nick Osborn are making a huge impact for the 'Frogs defense.

"As a defensive lineman, you have to feel like you are the most dominating person on the field," Preston said.

"You have to think like that if you wanna be a good de-

fensive lineman." ''We have some very good, solidand aggressive players on the defensive line," Kester said. "We have guys who are hungry for success. They want to do well, so badly. They have beenfl ying around the defense. We have had to dial them back during practice so we could run an offense."

Bret Harte hopes its linebackers can make the same impact as the defensive line.

Hunter VanVilet, sophomore Javon Gilbert, Westberg and Howard will handle the middle of the Bullfrog defense.

Howard has been the standout linebacker thus far.

"Howard is physical and he hits really hard," Ziehlke said. 'You don't wanna step in front of him when he's coming at you. That's the bottom line.

He reads well and will make plays."

The Bullfrogs have a much improved defensive secondary. Joey Kraft, Sewell, Pinney and Ziehlke will be the ball hawks in the defensive backfield. ''We have a lot more skilled position players, and that makes our defensive backfield better," Ziehlke said. 'We are more athletic and we have guys who are just ready to go."

"We put Ziehlke out at corner and he showed he is a very good press corner," Kester said. 'The DB's are working really hard and they are

competition significantly in the MLL the past three years, Kesterbelieves the program is close to competing and challenging league leaders for a playoff spot in the coming years.

"We' re going to give a lot of teams a lot tougher game than expected,"Kester said.

"I fully expect us to pull out a couple of those games that nobody expects us to win."

"I think that we are going to do really well this year, especially compared to last year because I don't think we could do any worse," laughed Preston. But, I think we are goingto be great and it's because of the change in the culture. The past couple of years guys would come out to play justforthe jersey.This year, coachhas made itclearthatif you don't put in the work, you are not going to play. That is something that has changed the culture here quite a bit."

SCHEDULE Bret Harte will start the year athome, Sept. 4, against Orestimba at Dorroh Field. The Bullfrogs will hit the road just four times, and only one of those games is more than 45 minutes away.

MLB Developer: Oakland stadium is feasible OAKLAND — A San Diego businessman says his latest plan for a new Raiders stadium in the city of Oakland has a 50-50 chance of succeehng, but he's revealing little else about it.

Floyd Kephart's proposal first called for the Raiders, the NFL and future stadium revenues to finance the proposed $900 million facility.

The Oakland Tribune reported an u ndeterred Kephart refused Tuesday to releasehis latest proposal, buthinted atseveral changes &om his origmal plan.

He says that there would be no attempt &om his investors to p~ e a p iece of the Raiders. Originally, he proposedthe team selling a 20 percent stake for $200 million with half of the sale price going toward stadium construction.

The Raiders also are working with the San Diego Chargers on a $1.7 billion stadium in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson.

Second-year head coach Rob Hoyt is not only looking at Adams and Egger to be leaders on the court, but off the court as well.

"Caitie and Toni have a lot of experience," Hoyt said Tuesday after practice. "The other girls are somewhat ap-

Though at this point, Hoyt is more known for his success on the basketball court, he does notview his basketball men any differently than his volleyball women. In his eyes, they are neither men or women, rather student-athletes.

Columbia College sophomore Toni Adams (left), and freshman Chelsea Wertz (above), practice Tuesday afternoon.

"You treat them like student-athletesbecause that' s who they are," Hoyt said. "I treat the volleyball players the same way I treat the basketball players. Right now the priority is with the volleyball players. But, they are goingtobe really sore tomorrow because ofthe practice we had today. We had some early roster issues, but we got that squared away and now we are really getting really competitive as far as practice is concerned."

For a team that is looking to move up &om finishing seventh place in the CVC, they will do so with grit and determination rather than style points and finesse.

"We are definitely a really scrappy team, which means we get every ball up, we are diving on the Hoor and will do whatever we have to do to make the play," said &eshman Whitney Borrego. "I think that is a major strength that we have."

Hoyt can already see the change &om year one to year

ing to reach each little goal one at at time."

For the freshmen Jumpers, they are starting to see fi rst hand how much different volleyball is at the collegiate level rather than in high school.

From the speed of the game, to the power of the spikes, everything is different. The &eshmen will adapt and become betterplayers because of the level of their competition. That is what happened with Abenth.

"As a college team the skill level is way higher," Abenth said."I came out ofhigh school

"Success is getting your group as good as you can get it based on the people you have," Hoyt said. "If we are as good as we possibly can be and we are still losing games, we are still a success as a team. I think &om an outsider looking in they just look at wins and losses, but there is so much more to it. Success

is just seeing them grow into a responsible and successful person in the classroom and the society.It's baby steps, but it' s also baby steps with me and my learningcurve.

I feel a lot more comfortable now than I did last year. Getting everybody as good as they could possibly be would be a success."

"The girls are willing to sacrifi ce their bodies to keep the ball off the floor," Hoyt said. "They communicate very well with each other. I think the overall chemistry is really good. We have strong sophomore leadership. Not that we didn't in the past, it' s just in a different direction this year."

The Jumpers will compete in the MJC tournament Saturday in Modesto, and they are working on polishing up the little things before facing an opponent.

"At this point, the main thing that we need to work on beforethe season starts are the fundamental things," Abenth said. "Working as a team is a huge thing because volleyball is a big team sport.

Everyone is p retty f resh and everyone is getting up to speed. We have really big goals and we have minor goals and we are just try-

"It wasn't like we settled for local girls. If there is local talent in basketball or volleyball, that's what we want. Fortunately, there is

USC's coach Sarkisian apologizes for drunken speech LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California coach Steve Sarkisian publicly apologized Tuesday for his drunken appearance at a team rally last weekend, attributing his slurred,profane speech to a combination of alcohol and medication.

Sarkisian plans to seek unspecified treatment, but the second-year Trojans coach doesn't believe he has a drinking problem.

"I was not right, and I think the moral of the story is this: When you mix meds with alcohol, sometimes you say things and/or do things that you regret, and I regret it," Sarki-

49ERS Continued from PageC1 Oxnard. Before that, tempers flaredbetween the Texans and Redskins in multiple sideline-clearing brawls that forced coaches to separate practiceattheend.

Otherwise, it's been a fairly peaceful preseason with opponents sharing a practice field. Part of that is because coaches have spoken out about the consequences for their players if it were to happen.

sian said. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all of our fans and donors and all the people that were in attendance, but I'mgoing to move forward, and we' re going to be great.I can'tw ait to start coaching again today."

Sarkisian was penitent in his comments before the eighth-ranked Trojans practiced on campus, but he expressed confidence in his ability to remain in charge despite his embarrassing performance in front of his players, fans and alumni at the Salute to Troy.

Sarkisian slurred hi s w ords, disparaged some of USC's upcom-

"I would like everybody to quit talking about it, to be honest with you," Kubiak said last week. "I want players to worry about playing and getting ready to play the game."

Players from the Dolphins and Panthers kept t h eir poise, and so did the Colts and Bears. Now it's the Niners' and Broncos' turn to follow suit.

Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman is counting on it.

"I think that you get a lot of good work out of it as long as you have responsible people

ing opponents and used profane phrases before leaving the podium.

The coach hasn't been suspended or publicly disciplined by USC athletic director Pat Haden beyond a scolding in a brief public statement.

Sarkisian doesn't believe he has substance abuse issues that would require him to step away from the Trojans, who open the season Sept.

5 at the Coliseum against Arkansas State.

"I don't know if I even need rehab," Sarkisian said. "That's part of the process, and I credit Pat Haden for this, that he has put things in

on both sides," Hillman said.

"A lot of those fights could've been avoided.

You really don't want to fight because you' re tired the rest of the practice."

Tomsula expressed appreciation for Kubiak and the Broncos staff for the planning that already has been done for the teams to get the most out of this intense week.

"No. 1,it excites me because I feel like that's a classact organization," Tomsula said. "Everything in our preparations, their organization and our people have worked together. It's been great. The

place for me to have meetings to figure that out, and Ill address them as they come. I' ve got a great staff that can support me along the way, and well see what comes out of it."

Sarkisian declined to specify what medication he is taking, but said he was impaired after combining it with "not a lot" of alcohol. The program is banning alcohol from campus and the Coliseum for the coaching staff Alcohol was never available to players' locker room, Sarkisian confirmed.

"There won't be alcohol in our building ever again," Sarkisian said.

Sarkisian also said he was personally done drinking for the season.

Quarterback Cody Kessler and linebacker Su'a Cravens believe the players support Sarkisian, who went 9-4 lastseason after rejoin-

ing the program where he spent two stints as an assistant coach un-

der Pete Carroll. The Trojans are a popular preseason pick to win the Pac-12 title in their first season after the expiration of heavy NCAA sanctions.

The 41-year-old Sarkisian's wife, Stephanie, filed for divorce in April.

They have three children.

'Yeah, we handed out a couple citat ions yesterday," Tomsula said.

Kubiak knows how successful such sessions can be when everybody stays focused and on task.

"I' ve been a partofa lotof those through the years. I' ve been a part ofsome great

will be a little bit different for us trying to mix the two, but it' ll be a good group to work against."

Then he joked last week that "I thought I was going to be a tow truck" as he dealt with one of defensive lineman Tank Carradine's scuffles on the practice field. Carradine was punched by wide receiver Quinton Patton at one point, prompting Tomsula to briefly halt the workout.
