Although the Pet Bath House is not in the business of identifying potential adoptersfor lost or stray animals, the enterprise, which recently moved into a two story Victorian-style house just off Main Street, will still try to do anything it can to help one in need.

Last week, a five-month-old homeless German shepherd was starving and on the verge of death in Utica Park. On Wednesday,the puppy found a home — all because of the Pet Bath House, a business in Angels Camp that providesdog, cat and bird grooming, boarding, training and daycare. Aftera socialmedia post about the German shepherd in need of a home, a Portola Valley resident inquired and later adopted the puppy — but not before a full spa and grooming treatment

The Pacific Gas & Electric Main Canal, which consists of concretelined ditches and 11 wooden flumes, is considered a lifeline for Tuolumne County, and it is also one of the county'sgreatest vulnerabilities, Tuolumne Utilities District officials said in preliminary disaster resiliency project descriptions. Tuolumne County was selectedin December 2014 as California's sole representative in the national disaster resiliency competition because of the 2013 Rim Fire. It wasthe third-largest fire in state history and it burned more than 400 square miles, primarily in the Stanislaus National Forest and Yosemite National Park.

Water s u p pliers in Tuolumne and C alaveras counties are far exceeding mandatory cutbacks on water usage imposed by the state, accordingtonumbers released

Thursday by the California Department of Resources. In response to waning water supplies amid the fourth year of drought, the state' s goal is to reduce overall water usage by 25 percent from June 2015 through February 2016. Water suppliers that don't meet conservation targets mandated by the state are subject to penalties, including a possible fine of up to $10,000 per day. Tuolumne Utilities District reported a cumulative41.5 percent drop in water use &om June to July over the same months in 2013. The districtwas required to cutback at least 25 percent. Out of 402 water suppliers tracked by the state, TUD ranked 25th for the highest percentage of water saved during June and July. "Our customersdid a great job," said David Andres, the district's i nterim g eneral

district is still urging conservation due to limited storage in the district's two main reservoirs — Pinecrest and Lyons. The storage we have in our reservoirsis such that it requires them to refill each year with rainfall and snowpack," he said. eWe're only out of the drought to the extent that we have a wet winter and things start flowing like normal. If it's another bad winter, we may be back into full conservation mode next spring."

Were these visions imagined or were they restless spirits &om bygone years with unresolved issues attempting to deliver a message to the modern world? To help visitors understand, Biederman shares their colorful backgrounds from the early mining days

cup of memory travels south.

Ten years ago, this last stretch of August was the calm before an unimaginable storm laid bare a beguiling city and a fecklesspresident,overnight. Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans hard on Aug. 30, 2005, her fury breaking the city's levees. George W. Bush's presidency shattered in the wake when he cavalierly flew over the drowned city and dipped a wing of Air Force One. He was on his way to Washington, I guess, and had better things to do. Just like that late August day in 2001, when Bush blew oKhis CIA briefer who QIghlTI told him about the terrorist plot involving American planes. The September 11 attacks were closing in, days away. He got a pass. Frankly, my dear, Bush was gone with the wind and water in 2005. Any faith left in the Iraq War he started in 2003 collapsed. It's a usually long way from New Orleans to Baghdad, but not on that late summer day. The public suddenly connected the dots between the government failing at home and failing abroad. Just like that. The American people, who like to like their presidents, saw clearly how shallow the Bush White House was, come high

water.

The hurricane, followed by the Biblical flood, was an utterly unforgettable event, which caused a large American city to be evacuated for the first time; which caused some to drown in their homes in the Lower Ninth Ward; which caused human misery and lawlessness in the Super Dome. These were the city's underclass, blacks who did not have the resources to escape. Many never got home again. The gale force of Katrina kept us bewildered at our screens, wondering if we had the right country. What was happening did not equal our notions about, you know, American can-do and capability. Where were the Marines and the Army Corps of Engineers? Not on CNN. Where was the president's spifFy Homeland Security department, founded after 9/11? Surely not that clownish man, Michael D. Brown (" Brownie" to a jocular Bush). A sense of haplessness governed the scene. A forthcoming book, "Shots on the Bridge," by Ronnie Greene, tells a tale of police brutality toward unarmed civilians after the hurricane hit. To the public eye, very little was being done to aid distressed people in a disaster. Where was the president of the United States? Years later, Bush admitted his unserious response was "a huge mistake." Too bad Katrina was too late for John Kerry, whom Bush defeatedforre-election ayearearlier. By the way, weren't we the country that wrote the book on emergency preparedness? Yes, the term dates back to Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross. And wasn't that where General Andrew Jackson whipped the British in the Battle of New Orleans 200 years ago in 1815? That's the America we like to think is still around. The Crescent city with a song in its heart, a lark for love, a laugh'round every corner in the enchanting French Quarter. Yes, that city broke our hearts 10 years ago. The city with the winding Mississippi River, which you can watch roll by with Cafe du Monde beignets, chicory cofFee and charming company and conversation any time of day or night. Fancyfree, the city's not meant for crying. It's supposed to bend, not break with tragedy. Bard Bob Dylan was inspired by the poetry in the air he found here: "Everything about New Orleans is a good idea." Oh, yes, Bob. And one more cup of chicory cofFee before I go. As summer surrenders to fall, few will forget seeing a beguiling city drown in the rising sun. ramie Stiehm writes about politics, culture, and history.

strong claims on their support — e.g., Robert Kennedy over Hubert Humphrey in 1968and Barack Obama overHillary Clinton 40 years later. Right now, Clinton has the kind of black support Humphrey would have had ifKennedy had not run. But what if Joe Biden entered the race with the explicit or strongly implied support of President Obama? Maybe thatcould happen. On Monday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said he "wouldn't rule out the possibility of an endorsement" in the primary and added that "no one in American politics today" knows more about running for president than Biden and that Obama considered his Biden VP pick as "the smartest decision that he has ever made in politics." Hmm. The second impossible thing that could happen is a vast expansion of the Republican primary electorate — and

cans voted in Democratic primaries and caucuses and only 21 million voted in Republican contests. Hillary Clinton, while losing the nomination, got almost as many votes as the three leading Republicans put together. Similarly, many analysts blame Mitt Romney's 2012 loss on conservatives staying home. Barack Obama got 3.5 million fewer votes in 2012 than in 2008. Usually incumbents who drop that far lose. But Romney got only 1 million more votes than John McCain in 2008. Even in a period of close partisan divisions, when one party's turnout increases it can win decisively. Democratictotal votes increased 10.5 million when Obama won in 2008. Republican total votes increased 11.5 million when George W. Bush was re-elected in 2004. One metric we have so far suggests a huge increase in Republican votes: 24 million people watched the Republican debate in Cleveland Aug.6. That's almost triple the previous Republican high and double the Democrats' record — which came in 2008, when the party's primary and generalelectorate expanded. Donald Trump accounts for much of Republicans' big audience, but perhaps not all: some 6 million watched the second-tiercandidates'pre-prime-time debate. The big question now is whether

The New York Times reported last week that other Republican candidates' strategists discount Trump's current poll leads on the grounds that the polls "rely on feedback from many Republicans who are unlikely to vote" because they aren' t registered Republicans or haven't voted in past primaries. It's true that past Republican turnout has been low. In 2008, 37 million Ameri-

You may be reading this sometime afterbreakfast,and six isa pretty large number of impossible things. But looking at developments in the 2016 campaign, I can see two impossible things — impossible in the sense that almost every pundit (including me) ruled them out — that might happen in the weeks and months ahead. The first impossible thing is that Hillary Clinton might stop being the undisputed frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. There have been two good reasons for believing this to be impossible. One is that even in the swirl of the email controversy, a very large majority of self-identified Democrats continue to have positive feelings about Clinton. That includes the 25 percent or so nationally and the 40 or so percent in New Hampshire who say they'd vote for Bernie Sanders right now. That shows that one Democratic constituency — the Birkenstock Belt — is willing to consider an alternative. What would happen if another — black Democrats — should prove willing to do so as well? The answer: disaster for the Clinton campaign. As fivethirtyeight.corn analysts have pointed out, even if Clinton loses Iowa and New Hampshire, the next big set of contests come in Southern states, where blacks make up nearly half or more of Democratic primary voters. And black voters tend to coalesce, in primaries as well in November, for one candidate. That'sa rational response for people

Kentucky clerk seeks permission to deny gay marriage licenses FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Two months after it legalized gay marriage nationwide, the U.S. Supreme Court is being asked by a Kentucky county clerk for permission to keep denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who objects to gay marriage for religious reasons, asked the nation's highest court Friday to grant her "asylum for her conscience." The Supreme Court ruled in June that the Constitution guarantees gay people the right to marry. But Davis contends the First Amendment guarantees her the right of religious freedom. She stopped issuing all marriage licenses in the days after the Supreme Court's landmark decision. Two gay couples and two straight couples sued her, arguing that she must fulfill her duties as an elected official despite her personal Christian conviction. A federal judge ordered Davis to issue the licenses and an appeals court upheld that decision. Davis' lawyers said they filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court Friday, asking that they delay the mandate to issue licenses until her appeal is finished, a process that could stretch for months.

More than 300,000 people have sought to cross the Mediterranean Sea so far in 2015, up from 219,000 in all of last year, as European authorities grapple with the largest influx since World War II.

Pentagon ties after Iran deal implemented funding high-tech venture Obama expects better US-Israel

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Friday compared tensions between the U.S. and Israel over the Iranian nuclear deal to a family feud and said he expects quick improvements in ties between the longtime allies once the accord is implemented.

"And sometimespeoplegetangrieraboutdisagreements in families than with folks that aren't family." The president's comments came as momen-

The concept for the Pet Bath House for Faye, who is among the 19 best groomers in the world, came from an interaction with another groomer in Texas in the early 1990s. The back and fourth, in which the groomer instructed Faye to put her dog in a wire cage, prompted her purchase of a plot of land forapet-grooming service asw ellasher pursuit of her grooming license. After several years of work in Texas and Arkansas, Faye brought her services to Angels Camp in 2013 to a house

"By law, we have to have kennels for 50 dogs, and we do. But it doesn't mean we have to kennel them, and we don' t," said Vonna Faye, founder, who is also a Westminster-trained groomer. "It' s their home. It's not ours."

months, however, she outgrew the propertyand needed to search for a larger property that would sustain her grooming business. "We were just so cramped there. We really couldn't do too much of anything," said Faye. 'We couldn't board at all." On Feb. 1, Faye took over the property on Main Street and began renovations. To date, construction is still underway to change what previously was

an apartment building to something more animal compatible.

Through the past couple of months, renovations include a surveillance system, a grooming station, dog kennels and higher fences outside, said Christenson. Faye sits down and thinks from a dog's perspective. She knows what they need to be safe. In recent months, now that the location has become more habitable and operational, Faye and co-owner Pat Crowley have been living on the second floor, watching over the dogs who dominate the ground floor. When both are out of town, Christenson inherits the duties. "We spend the night so that the dogs are safe and are getting attention. So that they' re visually seeing someone," said Christenson. "In other words, the dogs are being checked on all the time — they aren't just alone. We make sure they have everything they need, that they can go potty and that they are not scaredor lonely oranything else."

Becky said. The policy comes during a summer riddled with theater violence. In July, a gunman killed two and wounded nine others at a showing of "Trainwreck" in Lafayette, Louisiana, before turning the gun on himself. Roughly two weeks later, a man wielding a pellet gun, hatchet and pepper spray wounded three at a Nashville showing of "Mad Max: Fury Road 2D," before police shot and killed him.

And Wednesday, James Holmes, who killed 12 and injured 70 others in a 2012 theater rampage in Aurora, Colorado, received 12 life sentences and 3,318 years in prison. Also in support of the policy Friday was John Flinchum. "I think they should do it and be very thorough, because when you open up a purse like that, a .38 revolver isn't very big, and you know it could be down at the bottom, so they should go through the purse really good," Flinchum said. But, Pat Cervelli, who had a bag inspected at the theater Friday,described the search as "cursory." "I don't think bag searches atthe movie theater is going to stop gun violence. It's a much deeper problem of alienated people and people able to get guns ... anybody can get a gun ... that's the problem," she said.

The Union Democrat on Friday purchased a ticket and entered the theater with a backpack. The employee checking ticketsasked for the bag to be opened, glanced at the contents from behind his kiosk, and allowed entrance into the theater. The contents of the backpack were not moved around.

Frank said. "Unfortunately, we were all set to put this on our short list for final consideration. But once ownership was determined it w asn' t TUD, it's PG&E, we had to pull it. "We did work several weeks with TUD to see if ownership could be changed before submission of this application, didn't have enough time to fix that," Frank said. County disaster competition officials did not meet with PG&E officials to discuss transferring Main Canal ownership from PG&E to TUD, Frank said.

"It's unfortunate, the county agrees with TUD, it's a very vulnerable asset in the county," Frank said. 'We hope to find a solution for this in the future. Not NDRC, but thereareother possible ways to fund something like this. We' ll continue to strive to look for those opportunities." The estimated $28 million cost for the South Fork Tunnelprojectwas nota factorin the county decision to exclude the project from its NDRC entry, Frank said. There are 40 municipalities nationwide in the second phase of the competition, Frank said. California and Tuolumne County officials intend to target a grant funding total below $500 million.

Tuolumne native John Feriani, 57, said the downtown area was full of thriving bars and restaurants and people buzzing around at all hours of the day throughout the logging era ofthe'40s,'50s and early'60s. "Tuolumne used to be a very lively and vibrant town," he said.

However, things quieted down considerably when Pickering Lumber Company ceased operations after its mill burned down in 1962. The property where the mill sat was originally purchased by West Side Flume and Lumber Company in 1899. "It hurt quite a bit," Feriani said of the mill closing. "That's where most of the people worked." In 1976, the Westside property was purchased by Glen Bell, founder of the Taco Bell restaurant chain. Bell had plans to develop the site as a logging and railroad-related theme park, leading to another brief boom period for Tuolumne. The work that Bell completed

The tribe, which owns the nearby Black Oak Casino and Resort, wants to build a residential subdivision and golf course at the site, but constructionhas been delayed because of the economic recession that began in 2008. Jim Briscoe, project manager for the tribe's Tuolumne Economic De-

Off-the-beaten-path interests will converge today at Columbia State Historic Part for the fifth annual Dadgum Button Show — buttons and bigfoot. Yes. Bigfoot. Tuolumne County has the second highest bigfoot sighting rate in California, said event co-organizer Clare Bazley, owner of Columbia Kate's Teahouse. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Angelo's Hall. Clare Bazley, past president of the California State Button Society, and Janelle Giles, owner of Button Central, in San Jose (and the button show's Bigfoot expert), are sponsors of the event, which celebrates, exhibits and offers discussion on buttons of all kinds. "Enjoy the bigfoot and button displays, and have your picture taken with the hairy legend himself," Giles said. "He doesn' t bite, but we recommend that you count your fingers on the way out."

Giles said she is one of California's most devoted button collectorsand is a follower ofthe bigfoot legend. She also has a collection of bigfoot memorabilia. Exhibits that tie buttons to bigfoot will be on display. There will also be tables full of buttons by dealers from throughout California who will sell period buttons &om the 1700s and 1800s along with many modern buttons. People can bring their own buttons to be appraised for free by a professi onal button expertwith more than 40yearsofexperience, Bazley said. "Spend the day buying antique and vintage buttons, explore the legend of bigfoot, and get your squatch-on," she said. "Come on down, spend a family friendly day." The Dadgum Button Show is an annual Regional Button Show for button enthusiasts, seamsters, history buffs and crafl ers. Bigfoot displays will include local sighting information with a pin board map. There also will be local lore about bigfoot, including the American Indian name for him, Bazley said. There alsowillbe castingsofbigfootprintsand otherartifacts. Bazley said she and Giles discovered that many people go to events that are about bigfoot, and if there is enough demand, the two may put on a separate bigfoot event each year in addition to the button show. This year, Bazley said she is hoping the the addition of bigfoot will draw more men. "I think it's going to be great fun," Bazley said. Admission and parking are &ee. Door prizes will be offered, and the first 10 people who come to the show wearing a bigfootthemed shirt will get a prize. Bazley said bigfoot will "scream" when it's time for door prizes.

Terrain, utility shaped history of Irish homes In my last article, I mentioned that I'd recently traveled to Ireland. While there, I took time to study the history of its residential dwellings. I thought you might enjoy reading some of my notes.

r t

Outside the house Walls were thick and solid and roof materials were bulky and heavy. Because it was cost-prohibitive to transportlarge loads over long distances, local materials were used. The types and qualities of these materials varied considerably from one region to another giving rise to local styles and building methods. Since resources were pulled &om the environment, the finished structures integrated well into their surroundings. This symbiotic relationship, between dwellings and locale, enhanced Ireland's picturesque landscape. Climate was another critical environmental factor. Sloped roofs and thick, well-plastered lime-washed walls protected occupants from the damp and rain. Beneath the plaster the most typical wall material used was stone, &equently bedded and pointed with mortar of sand and lime, or clay and lime. However, in Ireland's midlands and southeast where suitable stone was hard to find, the technique of building clay walls was perfected. Along the west coast where neither lime nor usable clay was available, the art of building "dry walls" (stonework without any binding material) advanced. On bogs and moorlands,where noother material could be found, walls were constructed of sod. The choice of roof covering was dependent, too, upon local available materials and the income and skill of the occupant. The farmer would have good straw &om wheat or oats for thatch, while the landless laborer would suffice with rushes. In wilder areas where no grain grew, there was sedge

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.

She is perhaps 40 pounds overweightwith blood pressureofaround 145/80.I do not think she eats an excessiveamount of carbohydrates. She does take a iot of nutritional supplements.

Dealing with controlling friends requires tact DEAR ANNIE: My husband anti I aresnowbirdsin our late 60s.M ost of oursnowbirdfriends are severalyears older. We have neighbors in the North and in the South and we normally trade off taking turns driving back and forth. Our dilemma is, we have a set of neighbors in our North home and one in our South home who will not let us drive them. I am an excellent driver. (My husband seldom drives.) Every time we plan a dinner out, one tells us that he "loves" to drive and the other claims it hurts her back to ride in someone else's car. They refuse to get in our vehicle, which is a luxury car and quite dependable. I know this is a control issue, but I don't know how to handle it. To make up for being given a ride, I have treated one couple on occasion, but the other refuses any overs. Both parties live across the street from us and their stubborn refusal is putting a damper on our get-togethers. Any advice?-

(However, I would still be loath to bid four

spades.) After North bids two spades, South's jump to four spades is slightly aggressive with no short suit, but any time you smell garn, bid garn. At first glance, South, with three club losers, must find the diamond queen — but not so, if he understands elimination and endplay. Declarer wins the first trick, draws trumps, cashes his second heart winner, and exits with a club. The defenders take three tricks in the suit, but then the opponent on lead must either lead a diamond, finding the queen for South, or concede a ruff-and-sluff, on which declarer's diamond loser disappears.

BRIEFING

Stewart claims he didn't see man NEWYORK (AP) — NASCAR star Tony Stewart said he didn' t see a driver walking on a dirt track in upstate New York last year before he struck and killed him, and noted the racer was impaired by marijuana and shouldn't have been outside his car, according to court papers filed Friday. Kevin Ward Jr.'s family filed a lawsuit this month that accused Stewart of gross negligence, saying he gunned his engine and put his card into a skid as the 20-year-old Ward walked on the track after a crash at Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Aug. 9, 2014. Stewart's attorney, Brian Gwitt, argued in an answer to the Wards' lawsuit that the racing star didn't see the crash Ward had been involved in and didn't realize anyone was standing on the track. The court filing says a toxicology report showed Ward had smoked marijuana within five hours of the competition.

Redskins' Griffin to miss Ravens ASH BURN,Va. (AP) — WashingtonRedskins quarterback Robert Griffin III will miss Saturday's exhibition game at Baltimore because of a concussion, reversing an earlier decision to let him play. In a statement released Friday by the Redskins, NFL independent neurologist Robert Kurtzke is quoted that Griffin "should be held from game play this weekend and be retested in one (to) two weeks before a firm conclusion to return to game play can be made." Griffin left last week' s exhibition game against Detroit with what Redskins coach Jay Gruden said afterward was a concussion. The Redskins announced Thursday that Griffin had been cleared to play this weekend.

Cardinals' Rosenthal on paternity list SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal was put on the paternity leave list Friday as the club opened a weekend series at San Francisco. The NL Central leaders recalled righthander Sam Tuivailala from Triple-A Memphis, and he could be used late in games. Rosenthal is 2-1 with a1.52 ERA in 58 games and earned his 41 st save Thursday night at Arizona as the Cardinals won their fifth straight. He began the day with a share of the NL saves lead with Pittsburgh's Mark Melancon.

The Sean Leveroos era was less than than three m inutes old when t h e Summerville Bears gave the Thorsted Field fans something to cheer about.

Tomlinson lined a basesloaded single up the middle with one out in the ninth against previously unbeaten Kevin Siegrist, and the Giants topped the Cardinals 5-4 on Friday night to snap St. Louis' five-game winning streak. "He just seems comfortable here," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's hit everywhere he's gone, Double-A, Triple-A and he's continuing to do that." Left fielder Brandon Moss grabbed another glove from thedugout and moved in to make a fi ve-man infield, then Tomlinson found a hole against Siegrist (5-1).

in the ninth and Tomlinson quickly fired to first to double up Stephen Piscotty, who was off the bag. Byrd's e i ght h c a r eer grand slam gave the Giants eight for the season, a franchise record. Byrd last hit one on July 9, 2013, while with the Mets facing the Giants at AT&T Park. "This one'sa lot bigger," Byrd said. "It's a pennant race and the Dodgers already won. We needed this win tonight to stay on pace." The scoreboard went out for about four minutes and the ballpark lights briefly flickered twice. B yrd, previously 0 f o r 17 against Wacha, sent the first pitch he saw in the third over the wall in center field moments after Buster Posey was hit on the left elbow to load the bases against the team with baseball's best record. "I' ve had a tough time against Wacha," Byrd said. "That's my only hit in my career,a lot of strikeouts. He's tough. I got one pitch to do something with and put a good swing on it."

Housing for 2024

games in question LOS ANGELES (AP) — The centerpiece of the proposed 2024 Olympic Games in Los Angeles would be a $1 billion village where thousands of athletes would eat, sleep and stroll on tree-lined walks and clipped lawns. But with a deadline to submit a U.S. candidate for the 2024 Games just 18 days away, the plan remains a mystery in many ways.

The sprawling Olympic Village, which would be built near downtown with mostly private funds, is tethered to a series of financial assumptions and question marks. The city doesn't own the land that is now used as rail yard or know how much theproperty would cost. Details of financing also are elusive. City analysts warned Thursday that coststo acquire the 125 acres and build the structures may s ignificantlyexceed theprojected cost. The village proposal "is very hard to pin down," said Chicago-based sports finance consultant Mare Ganis. 'There's not enough information to base a judgment on." Looming questions also include whether the developer would be given tax incentives to build the village, and what that might cost local government. However, doubts about runaway spending were put on hold Friday when a City Council committee advanced a proposal to authorize Mayor Eric Garcetti to execute agreements related to the city' s Olympic bid. The move, which sets up a vote by the full council next week, came after Chief Deputy City Attorney James P. Clark assuredmembers itspassage would not expose taxpayers to unchecked spending or debt. The U.S. Olympic Committee cut ties in July with Boston, which was initially selected as the U.S. contender. With Los Angeles the likely stand-in, the USOC faces a Sept. 15 deadline to enter a U.S. bid. The head of the privately run 2024 committee described the Olympics proposal as a work in progress. The city's final plan is not expected to be submitted until late 2016, if a preliminary bid is entered next month. "It's obviously a first dry," businessman Casey W asserman told reporters after the committee meeting. Earlier this week, the bid committee released its first detailed plans for 2024, describing events from volleyball in Santa Monica to mountain biking in the Hollywood Hills. Itsbudget projected a $161 million surplus. Over the years Olympics have been notorious for cost overruns, and stud-

ies have questioned if host cities benefit economically. Russia has been struggling with costs &om the 2014 So chi Olympics, which have been called the most expensive Olympics of all time.W

"Ifeltvery comfortable out there tonight," Rodgers said. "It was my first time starting at quarterback on the varsity team. Thanks to my line and Ulvevadet, I feel really comfortable in the pocket. I feel confident in my receivers to be able to put the ball out there for them and let them do their job." L everoos said h e w a s thrilled with the way Rodgerscontrolled the offense. "Rodgers handled hims elf a n d ma d e so m e throws when h e n eeded to," Leveroos said. "He got in and out of the huddle, and I believe that his team startedto rally around his execution."

Fulkerson had 87 yards receiving on three receptions. Brewster hauled in two passes for 32 yards, and Noonan had 11 yards. Fulkerson led all Summerville rushers with 72 yards on 16 carries. Ulvevadet added 27 y ards o n seven carries with t w o

Ulvevadet paved the way for the backs, and helped pick up key blocks for Fulkerson's team-high 72 yards. "Fulkerson is like a brother to me and I would block anyone for him," Ulvevadet said. "I know that he is going to make the right read behind me. I know he is always going to run his hardest, so I feel it's my duty to do the best job blocking that I can for him because I know he can take it to the house."

he had "a procedure" a few weeks ago. LSU opens its season Sept. 5 at home against McNeese State of the second-tier Football Championship Subdivision.

On the opening play of the season, McNair wide receiver, Derrion Grim — a Boise State U niversity commit — r e turned the kickoff nearly 90-yards for a score. "It hurts," said Calaveras head coach Jason Weatherby. "You' re in catch up. You' re on your heels instead of playing on your toes. Trying to wait for them to make a move and then trying to tackle, those type of things." S ix minutes i nt o t h e quarter, Grim scored again on a 40-yard touchdown re-

"Maybe it (his effectiveness) was his ability to finish the runs, get that extra three-or-four yards that

"We didn't give up those early quick scores like we have in past games," said Wildcat head coach Bryan Craig. "We moved the ball, but we turned it over on 10, 25, 24, and 37, we need to convert those and finish. We need to find a way to finish with points. We can't give a team like Oakdale those kinds of opportunities. And then they were able to move down the field and score." The Mustangs scored another touchdown just before the end of the half to make it 21-0. "At the start we were all pumped up and we came out hard in the beginning, but they scored a couple of touchdowns," said Wildcat fullback/linebacker Bradley Canepa. "They' re fast, big and strong just like Oakdale always is.

Illinois fires coach Tim Beckman CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Illinois abruptly fi red coach Tim Beckman one week before the start of the season Friday after an investigation of player mistreatment allegations revealed he had meddled in medical issues and inappropriately treated athletes who remained on scholarship after leaving the team. With three of his programs under scrutiny, athletic director Mike Thomas said the timing was unfortunate but "it was in the best interests of student-athletes to act now." Thomas said the final report of the investigation would not be completed and publicly released until during the season. Illinois said Beckman will not receive $3.1 million remaining on the final two years of his original five-year

contractor the $743,000 buyout. Offensive coordinator Bill Cubit, who was head coach at Western Michigan from2005-12,has been named interim coach. The Illini face Kent State at home Sept. 4 to start the season. Beckman was 12-25 at Illinois, improving theteam's record each season. The Illini went 6-7 last year and reached the Heart of Dallas Bowl. He did not immediately respond to a phone message left by The Associated Press. Citing t h e i n v estigation b eing handled by a law firm, Thomas said he learned of efforts to deter injury reporting and infiuence medical decisions that pressured injured players to avoid or postpone treatment and continue playing. In some instances, he said, athletes were treated inappropriately with re-

"I think most everybody' s desire as a running back is to get involved with a rhythm because that's such a big part of the position," he said. "At the same time, my last couple of years I' ve been in the NFL I was designated in that role. Whatever role I'm playing and whatever that looks like I' ll do my best at it."
