Kathryn Louise Gurney Rotelli departed this world peacefully on August 30, 2015 at Country Lane Estates in Sonora, CA. A native of Tuolumne, she was the third of four children born to Mary Sullivan Gurney and Louis Gurney. Her siblings Ellen Audrey Kelly, Mary Frances Arnold and James Gurney preceded her in death. Her husband Nelio also preceded her.

Kathryn was born January 22, 1920 and raised in Tuolumne City. She attended Tuolumne Elementary and Summerville High School, from which she graduated in 1937. She told many fond stories of life in Tuolumne before there were televisions, telephones and traffic jams.

Kathryn met Nelio Rotelli, a Sonora native (SHS Class of 1936), at a dance in Sonora, and they were married a year later, in 1939. 1hey moved to the Bay Area in 1942, where Nelio worked in the defense industry. He owned and operated retail butcher shops in San Francisco and Alameda, and began his career in waste management. Ihey lived in San Francisco, Oakland and Fremont during these years, and were blessed with two sons, Pat and Jim. Kathryn and Nelio returned to Tuolumne County in the early 1980s, purchasing a small ranch east of Sonora, where they raised vegetable gardens, roping horses and many stray dogs and cats. Kathryn loved traveling with Nelio and their son Jim to roping competitions up and down the west coast. Ihey also traveled the world with Jim and Pat Gurney and Jack and Katie Sullivan. Iheir travels included visits to Italy, Hawaii, Australia and the British Isles, especially Ireland. Nelio passed away in 2001, and Kathryn stayed on the ranch they had loved so much. She tended the horses and watered the lawn for the local deer herd until last year.

Kathryn leaves to mourn her passing and celebrate her life her sons Patrick Louis Rotelli of Moraga, and James Robert Rotelli of Knights Ferry. She also leaves her sister in law and best friend Patricia Hopper Gurney of Tuolumne. She was loved and will be missed by her many nieces and nephews. Kathryn graciously welcomed anyone who entered her home, and accepted people no matter what. You might be a stranger the first time, but never again. Kathryn was a kind, loving and generous woman. We loved her very much and will miss her even more. We are all better for having known her.

GUEST COLUMN

Davis will be a lonely footnote in U. . history Tricky business, this righteous outrage. You have to be so careful not to sound like a hypocrite while you' re deriding hypocrisy. Messes with your sleep.

In the past few days, America's news media — from the largestorganizations to the smallest blogs — have made a starof a 49-year-old woman in Appalachia named Kim Davis.

Davis is the Rowan County, K e n t ucky, CO@@I< clerk who is r efusing to issue same-sex marriage li c enses.

She is declaring a religious exemption for herself in her little patch of our amber waves of grain. And she's an elected official, so no

firing her.

I'm angry as all get-out over what Davis is doing, but I can't blame her for relishing the national attention. She' s an American woman who, at her age, is supposed to be invisible. But there she is, popping up in everybody's News Feed on her way to becoming a lonely footnote in history.

After the U.S. Supreme Court essentially told her to knock it off, Davis released an online statement through her new best friends, the far-right Liberty Counsel. An excerpt: "I owe my life to Jesus Christ who loves me and gave His life for me. Following the death of my godly motherin-law over four years ago, I went to church to fulfill her dying wish. There I heard a message of grace and forgiveness and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. I am not perfect. No one is. But I am forgiven and I love my Lord and must be obedient to Him and to the Word of God. "I never imagined a day like this would come, where I would be asked to violate a central teaching of Scripture and of Jesus Himself regarding marriage."

A brief interruption here to note what Jesus said about homosexuality.

Absolutely nothing.

Back to Davis: "To issue a marriage license which conflicts with God's definition of marriage, with my name affixed to the certificate, would violate my conscience. It is not a light issue for me. It is a Heaven or Hell decision.

For me it is a decision of obedience. I have no animosity toward anyone and harbor no ill will. To me this has never been a gay or lesbian issue. It is about marriage and God's Word."

As thatexcerpt illustrates, Davis is unreachable regarding her version of Chtistianity. Ridiculing her faith, her appearance and her multiple marriages, as so many have, only further convinces her of her rightness. She thinks God wants her to be a martyr. To her and those using her, our ridicule — our persecution — is proof that she is right.

We' ve been here before in this country, and as we have before, we will soon uproot this obstacle on the road to justice.

NPR's Robert Siegel asked Columbia University law professor Katherine Franke whether Davis' refusal to m arry same-sex couples mirrors white officials'refusalto accept racial equality in the 1950s and '60s.

"It's exactly the same situation," Franke said.

"I think that certain people in certain places are changing their view on homosexuality ... but not everyone is

there yet. And some people base their opposition to equality for same-sex couples — or for lesbians and gay men — in religion, but they can't use those values as a justification for not performing public functions.

"So what we' re seeing now really in a way mirrors quite clearly what we saw in the 1950s, where many communities were more than happy to close all of their pools and playgrounds and public schools rather than having black children and white children play together. And we saw thatresistance pass in a shortperiod oftim e."

We don't need to mock Davis for justice to prevail. If we are to live our message, that all marriages are equal, then

I'd rather treat her with the respect she has denied others. She can believe whatever she wants. Same-sex marriage is the law of the land, including in Rowan County.

Davis is a flawed human, and in that, she has a lot in common with the rest of us. As various news organizations have reported, Davis has been married four times, twice to the same man, and pregnant with twins by a man who was not her husband at the time. Eventually, she turned to God, hoping to find a way out of her mess of a life.

We can point to her circuitous route to redemption and her current state of religious certainty and declare her a

fool and a hypocrite. Or we can see her as a woman who has joined that long list of humans looking for a chance to be something other than their biggest mistakes. I'm not going to get into the reasons my name is on the list.

How about you?

I am not excusing Kim Davis' bigotry. I just don't want to let it harden my own heart.

I do, however, want to know why it is that the meanest of my fellow Christians claim they get their marching orders from God while the decent ones just keep acting like Jesus, loving everyone as best they can.

I'm going to be thinking about that all evening. I expect it will be a long night.

Oil, America's inexhaustible resource "The United States of America cannot aff ord to bet our long-term prosperity,our long-term security on a resource that will eventually run out, and even before it runs out will get more and more expensive to extract from the ground."Barack Obama, 2011.

In August 1859 on the eve of the Civil War, Col. Edwin Laurentine Drake completed the first commercial oil well in the United States on Oil Creek just outside of Titusville, Pa. Over the next century and a half, oil and gas companies have extracted tens of billions of barrels of oil from the ground from California to New York and nearly everywhere in between.

During that time period, one thing has been constant: Doomsayers and declinists have predicted that we would soon drill the last barrel of oil. Famously in the 1920s, the U.S. Department of Interior projectedlessthan a few decades worth of recoverable oil in the United States.

Jimmy Carter declared in 1980 that by 2000 we'dbe nearly outofoil— running on empty.

Last month, the Department of Energy reported that the U.S. hit a new energy milestone: We produced 9.52 million barrels a day.Thatwas very close to the highest output level in recorded history.

So muchforrunning out.

Something else has happened in recent weeks that almost no one — least of all President Obama — would have predicted. The price of oil fell below $40 a barrel. Adjusted for inflation, that makes oil cheaper today than at almost anytime in history. Adjusted for wages, we work less to buy gasoline and oil today than nearly ever before.

Welcome to the age of oil and gas abundance. One of the people who predicted allofthis40yearsagowa sthe late,great economist Julian Simon. When cultural

icons like doomsayer Paul Ehrlich of Stanford University were assuring us that the end was nigh when it came to oil, food, copper, tin and farmland, and that the earth would soon be &eezing over because of cooling trends, it was Julian Simon who declared they were all wrong.

He was regarded as a lunatic, in today' s le-wing jargon, a "denier," but he was right, and the "scientific consensus" was entirely and almost negligently wrong.

The experts at the Institute for Energy Research recently published an inventory of American energy given current technological capabilities.

Their research shows that we have 500 yearsworth ofcoaland naturalgas and at least 200 years worth of oil. The wellspring of energy in America will never run dry.

The reason we never run out of finite" resources is that human ingenuity runs forwardatafarfasterpace than the rate we use up oil, gas or food. The shale oil and gas revolution — thanks to &acking technologies — nearly tripled overnight our oil and gas reserves. We now produce three times as much food with one-third as much manpower at one-third the cost than we did in 1950.

That the leftwing doomsayers have been time and again discredited in their Malthusian warnings has several policy implications. First, would you keep buying stock from a broker who kept giving you all the wrong advice and losing your money?

Then why do we listen to the same crowd of doomsayers who still say we are

ing to heat up into a fireball? Their credibility and their "scientific consensus" have rarely been right. They are like the boy who cries wolf over and over.

Second,there are high costs to false fears. President Obama has many times justified the $100 billion we' ve wasted on renewable energy subsidies by the claim that we' re running out of oil.

Third, many of the same Malthusians who told us we were running out of oil and foodare the intellectual giants behind the global warming industry. These are the ones who say that the debate is over on global warming, that they can' t possibly be wrong, that the science is settled and that those who question their religious-like conviction have been bought offby the Koch brothers or big oil.

Given their abysmal track record, is it asking too much of them to consider that they might just be wrong?

We ll,a sixth-grader might believe that tripe.

What is disconcerting is that the president of the United States, the media and many "scientists" still believe it. Paul Ehrlich once said that one thing the world will never run out of "is idiots." Alas, he was right for once.

The purpose of this letter is to express our gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to Ernie Marino. For over 35 years he has invested his time, money, energy and heart into preserving the camp and recently restoring the barn. Without the efforts of Ernie, Missy, family and friends, we would not have Yellowhammer Camp to enjoy today. The tin "registry" includes many Tuolumne families and five of my grandchildren.

How can we acknowledge his efforts?

Several ideas have come to mind such as

naming a meadow or the Big Lake trail after him, a small Clamper style marker, a ForestService plaque, or some other recognition. But, if nothing else, there is this letter to the editor in The Union Democrat saying Thank You Very Much Ernie Marino."

P.S.: Would it be too much to hope that the check dams be maintained also? The value of the dams arevery apparent in these drought years and I would especially like to have the Emigrant Lake breach repaired.

Turkish workers kidnapped in Iraq

BAGHDAD — M a sked men in military uniforms kidnapped 18 Turkish citizens in Baghdad early Wednesday, bundling them into several SUVs and speeding away in a brazenoperation that laid bare seri ous securit y gaps in the heavily defended city.

Iraqi and Turkish officials saidthe 18 are employed by Nurol Insaat, a Turkish construction company contracted to build a sports complex in the sprawling Shiite district of Sadr City. The kidnappers stormed t h e

co n s truction

site, where the workers were sleeping in caravans, breakmg down doors and disarming theguards before taking the workers away, they said.

The Iraqi officials said an Iraqi national was kidnapped along with the Turks.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider alAbadi blamed organized crime for the kidnapping, but did not elaborate.

Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesman Tanju Bilgic said those kidnapped included 14 workers, three engineers and one accountant. He said the

kidnappers specifically targeted Turkish nationals, picking them out from the rest and leaving behind workers from other countries.

WASHINGTON (AP)Overcoming ferocious opposition, President Barack Obama secured a legacydefining foreign policy victory Wednesday as Senate D emocrats clinched t h e necessary votes to ensure the Iran nuclear agreement survives in Congress.

The decisive 34th commitment came from Maryland Democrat Barbara Mikulski, who is retiring next

year after three decades in the Senate. In a statement

she said"no deal is perfect, especially one negotiated with the Iranian regime."

But she called the pact "the best option available to block Iran from having a nuclear bomb."

For all th e geopolitical ramifications, the debate in the U.S. has often seemed more about domestic parti-

san politics over a resolution that, on its own, wouldn' t be able to reverse a multicountry agreement already blessed by the United Nations. A vote of disapproval, however, could signal Congress' readiness to introduce new sanctions at the risk of causing Tehran — and other governments — to abandon the accord and blame the U.S. for the failure.

Among American lawmakers, the debate has broken along party lines.

Hungary Drug counselors charged in blocking influx of mig rants

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Tempers flared among the t h ousands trapped in a makeshift r efugee camp i n th e heart of B u dapest on Wednesday as Hungary played hardball with its unwelcome visitors for a second day, blocking train t ic k et-clutching migrants from traveling deeper into Europe.

Hungary tantalizingly opened the way Monday, allowing more than 1,000 migrants to pack westb ound trains — and i n -

spiring a migrant surge to thecapital— before it withdrew the option 24 hours later.

The question of how to defuse thehuman gridlock in Hungary is set to dominate meetings in Brussels on Thursday between EU leaders and Hungary's anti-immigrant prime minister,

$46 million fraud scheme LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eight women who worked for a company hired to counsel drug abusers in Los Angeles County schools were charged in federal court with a scheme to fraudulently bill California nearly $50 millionforbogus servicesover a decade,according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday.

The now-defunct Atlantic Health Services in Long Beach, California, earned $46 million in Medi-Cal reimbursements for treatment that either wasn't provided to poor middle and high school students, was deficient or was given to students who didn't have drug or alcohol problems, federalprosecutors said.

'The defendants and (the company) branded many innocent young people as substance abusersand addictsin order to boostenrollment numbers and billings," U.S. Attorney Eileen M. Decker said.

She wouldn'tsay who complained or describe the nature of the complaints, but she said federal prosecutors began investigating in 2011.

The eight women — six women who supervised counselors and two counselors-

Whether someone higher up in the company benefited isn't clear, though the investigation is ongoing, she noted.

A dozen others involved in the scheme have already pleaded guilty, including Dr. Leland Whitson, 75, the former medical and clinical director for the company, who diagnosed many of the students as having drug problems. He pleaded guilty to making a false statement affecting a health care program.

Pakistan: Militants secure ID cards

Calaveras County Volunteers are very special people!

some of whom are sent back abroad to conduct attacks.

Foreign governments, particularly neighboring Afghanistan, have frequently accused elements of the Pakistani government of sheltering Islamic militant groups that &equent the porous and lawless tribal regions along the Afghan border.

According to the recent reportby theInter-ServicesIntelligence or ISI, thousands of foreigners have illegally obtained Pakistani national IDs. Most of them are Afghan refugeestrying to have

a more regular status, but they also include at least dozens of Islamic militants from China, the Maldives, Uzbekistan and the United States. Pakistani militants also often secured a second national ID card under a fake name, making it harder for local law enforcement to track and apprehend them, the report says.

"If the registration authority of any country is not corruptionfree,there are serious security concerns," said Pakistani Interior Minister

Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.

Rights date to 1991 and1994 Fahey holds two water right permits, No. 20784 with a priority date of July 12, 1991, and No. 21289 with a priority dateofJan.28,1994,M rowka said.

The appropriative water right permits have allowed Fahey to divert water from Cottonwood Spring, Deadwood Spring,Marco Spring and Polo Spring, all tributaries of the Tuolumne River upstream of Don Pedro Reservoir, State Water Board staff said.

Getting private rights to waters that fiow &om public lands to sell for commercial profit was not expensive.

"Mr. Fahey applied for the water rights in the years on the permits and we issued them," Mrowka said in a phone interview. "The 1991 application fee was $100 and the 1994 application fee was $1,000."

But staying in business was not cheap. Fahey said in 2011 he'd had to jump through environmental hoops thatcosthiscompany $200,000 overthe previous decade.

One acre-foot of water is enough to flood a typical football field one foot deep.

The permit covered the development of the spring sites, and a buried water transmission line across Forest Service land.

TRIAL Continued from Page Al yers, Dana Gross, told the jury Lucero fantasized about marrying Rick Roberts, whom Lucero considered the perfect man.

After her affair with Roberts, Lucero moved on to another married man, whose controlling ways &ightened her.

The closing statements took up most of Wednesday, the 15th day of the trial.

Tuolumne County S u perior Court Judge James A. Boscoe instructed the jury on the different options they will consider: firstdegree murder, second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and not guilty when they begin deliberating at 8:30 a.m. today in Department 2 of the Tuolumne County

"You must decide what the facts are," he said.

Bedfordadded that Roberts'reports of Lucero stalking him were not documented.Yvonne Yniguez testified Monday that when she first found out about Roberts' death in a February 2014 Union Democrat article, she told Lucero the news.

Lucero did not react in any way, she said.

"Some people just don't show emotion," Bedford said Wednesday in reference to the testimony. "Ms. Lucero is one of them apparently."

During the prosecution's rebuttal, Krieg said Lucero, who worked at the McDonald's near Standard Road at the time of the Roberts' death, acted with premeditation.

"On the day Rick Roberts was murdered, she brought her gun to work that morning," she said.

Krieg ended her rebuttal by showing the jury a crime scene photograph of Robertslying on theground in a pool of blood.

Miners Mart in Big Oak Flat, Peggy Mosley, president and CEO of Groveland Hotel, and Tom Clawson, president of Don Pedro Dry Storage in Jamestown, were appointed at a special meeting Aug. 24 to serveouttheterms ofthree vacant seats on the board.

"Under circumstances like this, I praise anyone who wants to come in and change

things and make them better," said Tomas Hernandez Jr., president of the chamber's board. "I think the individuals who have stepped up so far will have a positive effect on the board and the community."

The Tuolumne County Sheriff"s Office received a report from Hernandez in June regarding funds missing from the chamber. Sheriff"s detectives are still investigating the matter, which includes obtaining evidence &om banks and other businesses.

Former Office Administrator Kevin Wilson and several board members resigned following the discovery.

Hernandez, Vice President Earl Wright and Treasurer Cathy Leetham were the only ones who remained on the nine-seat board, despite some chamber members calling fortheir resignations as well.

At Monday's meeting, the board established a new committee tasked with revising the chamber's by-laws to "clearly define separation of duties and to strengthen financial control using best known practices," a press release stated.

The chamber also established a new n ominating committee to identify candidatesforboard seatsthatare up for election in October. A closed session will be held afterthe election forthe board to appointa president, vice president and treasurer.

Hernandez said all nine seatscould possibly be up for election depending on whether the current members de-

Despite the shake-up on the board, Hernandez said everythingis in place forthe annual 49er Festival to be held on Sept. 19 in Groveland.

courtroom Wednesday as she has been every day during the trial.

Roberts, 49, of Sonora, a volunteer policeman and derby driver,was found in his Mono Way automobile shop.

Lucero has been vague about how long they were involved in an affair but the prosecution has said three years.

The two met in 2010 in Modesto, and Lucero eventually moved to Sonora.

Lucero said she believed Roberts was separated and planning to divorce his wife.

Lucero testified she did not know who shot Roberts, although during her June2014 police interrogation she accused two men — Christopher Tinkum, a former boyfriend who lives in Modesto, and Yniguez.

She has been held in the Tuolumne County Jail on $1 million bond since her arrest.

Lucero pleaded not guilty in July 2014 and, in November 2014, she recanted her confession.

NOTICES 401-415

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 pared to how much time they spend listening to others. Is there anything we can do to change this? — ARIZONA DEAR ARIZONA: Your boss, like many outwardly successful people, still harbors deep insecurities. This is why she feels the need to prove that she is the most important and interesting person in the room. And because she is so focused on her own behavior, she has few brain cells left to devote to her staff's personal lives, nor, frankly, does she need to. Your personal lives are not her business. But she is still your employer and if this is the worst thing she does, we'd put up with it. You are handling it perfectly — you

smile, listen politely and laugh when called for. It's annoying, but hamtless. Just try not to roll your eyes.

DEAR ANNH<': In general, I agree thata guestshould notputa bride or groom "on the spot" by asking to bring a date. But I'd like to mention a time when it worked.

My partnerand his daughter had been estranged for many years. One of the best things to happen was when his daughter's fiance, a wonderful man, facilitated a reconciliation. Part of the reconciliation was an invitation to their wedding.

After receiving the invitation, we had dinner with the fiance. We felt we had little choice but to confirm that, as the father's partner, I was included in the invitation because my name was not on it. The fiance said yes.

We' ll never know if that was simply his decision at the time, but had I not also been welcome, it would have undone all the work of reconciliation.

I attended with my partner, everyone was delightful, and a great, celebratorytime was had by all.— A NORTH CAROLINA GAY PARTNER DEAR N.C.: Your situation is not thesame as someone asking to bring a "plus one." Established partners should always be included in such invitations. Nor was your partner asking to bring you. He was only clarifying the situation, which is perfectly fine.

That fiance sounds like a gem. We are soglad he helped reconcile father and daughter,and that you are both welcome members of the family.

III effects from vitamin E unlikely at lower doses DEAR DK ROACH: Pm a 47-yearold female in good overall health. About six months ago, I began to take several supplements, one of which was vitamin E (200 IU). I had no noticeable adverse reactions to any of the supplements. About 10 days ago, I started taking 400 IU of vitamin E. Right about the same time as this increase, I began having painful stomach cramps,diarrhea, nausea and tiredness.

After a week of this, someone suggested that the vitamin E might be the cause.

I have stopped taking it and have even avoided foods high in vitamin E. Three days later, I'm still having the diarrhea and other symptoms. If the vitamin E was the cause of the symptoms, shouldn't they have gone away by now? — KB. ANSWER: Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, so it is possible for levels to build up in the body if it's taken in high doses for long periods oftime. However, toxic efFects are unlikely at less than 1,500 IU daily, which is far higher than what you have been taking. Bleeding is one risk at high doses, as is a theoretical deficiency of vitamin A and D.

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. I think it is far more likely that you happened to get a case ofgastroenteritis — inflammation of the stomach/intestines, often caused by a virus. It's unlikely to be due to the vitamin E. However, since vitamin E supplementation hasn't been shown to improve any of the many conditionsit has been studied for,I don't recommend that you continue to take it.

Go easyon eating for a few days after gastroenteritis: The time-tested BRAT diet(bananas, white rice, peeled apples and drytoast)is efFective.You can get enough fluid through water or apple juice, along with some salt, like chicken or vegetable broth.

DEAR DR ROACH: My doctor prescribed 600 mg of ibuprofen twice a day,

as needed,for my arthritis knee pain. I understand that there is new concern regarding possible damage with the longterm use of ibuprofen, such that there will be new w~ lab els for this drug.

Is this also a concern with acetaminophen? I am confused,because Ipurchased a bottle that says to see the new warning label on it regarding liver damage with long-term use. If it is safer, how much acetaminophen can be substituted for the ibuprofen on a long-term basis? — L.H. ANSWER: Both acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen are very safe for the vast majorit y ofpeople in long-term use; however, both have some risks.

The "new concern" you allude to probably is the Food and Drug Administration's warning &om July that "NSAIDs can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke in patients with or without heart diseaseor risk factors for heart disease."

The FDA did not state the magnitude of this increased risk, citing varying estimates, but the best estimate I can find is that, at most, one to two people will have a heartattack or stroke for every 1,000

people taking the medication for a year.

People who take higher doses, especially everyday,are more likely to have an adverse event than are those who take the medication only occasionally. NSAIDs have many other risks, including stomach ulcers and kidney damage.

Acetaminophen probablyis safer for most people than NSAIDs; however, it, too, might cause problems. The biggest concern is overdose, which can cause terrible liver damage. People with chronic liver disease of any kind, or who drink alcoholto excess,are athighestrisk forthis and should limit intake to 2,000 mg per day. Chronic use of acetaminophen rarely causes kidney disease, and might elevate blood pressure.

South starts with six top tricks: two diamonds and four clubs. Normally, one would assume thatthe diamond queen was onside, but the auction made a diamond lead almost Openinglead:t 2 inevitable, whatever West's holding in the suit.

Declarer should take the first trick in his hand and attack spades by leading low to dummy's jack. Here, when that wins, South returns to his hand with a club and leads another spade. With this layout, overtricks pour in.

At the table, South won with dummy's diamond jack, cashed his club winners, unblockedthe diamond ace, played a spade to dummy's king,took the diamond king (trick eight), and led a heart to the queen, king and ace. West cashed the spade acequeen and diamond queen, then led a heart to East's jack for down one.

Establish winners first; top tricks won't run away.

He was in Vail, Colorado, on Wednesday to be examined at the Steadman Clinic and discuss the issue with hip specialist Mare Philippon.

San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy says the team would meet with Lincecum upon his return and decide what the next step is.

Lincecum went on the disabled list in late July after being bothered by what the Giants have said is a degenerative condition in his hips.

The problem has affected the 31-year-old pitcher's velocity, and he has already sought multiple opinions in an effort to find a solution.

Lincecum is 7-4 with a 4.13 ERA this season.

He has helped the Giants win three World Series titles.

The Bears are feeling good after their 34-13 home drubbing of Denair last Friday.

However, Mariposa is better and more talented than Denair.Since 2004, Summerville leads the series against Mariposa by a 6-5 advantage.

The Bears won a shootout last year on the road 47-41. ''We always have a winning attitude and we are always going out there to compete," said senior tight end/safety

"We take everybody seriously, 'eei,. whether it's Denair, Mari. ..' k~ ~ posa, Amador, or Sonora, it doesn't matter. We take everybody seriously and nothing ever changes."

Rodgers was outstanding in the opener, throwing for 202 yards and two touchdowns. He showed a strong command of the offense, and perhaps most importantly, didn't turn over the ball. With every completed pass, the first-year starting quarter-

Kenekew knew he was safe to finish off the San Francisco Giants.

Mattingly wanted to check on his ace, who after rolling through the first five innings, gave up two two-out hits.

Kershaw assured Mattingly he wasjustfi ne and heproved it, striking out Marion Byrd to close out a 2-1 victory Wednesday night that increased the Dodgers' NL West lead to 6 '/2 games.

"These guys are great hitters," Kershaw said. "They made me work the last inning.

It's definitely different than a normal game because you' re playing the team behind you."

Kershaw struck out 15 to set a season career high with 251 and Chase Utley hit a goahead homer in the sixth to complete a three-game sweep of the Giants.

NCAA Harbaugh +turn looms over MichiganUtah seasonopener SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — After eight months in the spotlight as college football's latest rock star, Jim Harbaugh is ready tom ovepast the hype and get gritty on the football field.

Michigan travels to Utah on Thursday night for their season opener, a game that has to some degree, been overshadowed by the hype

returntothe college ranks.

Not that all the interesting stuff will be on the sideline.

Both teams opened fall camp with questions about theirquarterbacksandonly one has given fans a definitive answer. refused to publicly name a starter, but says the players know who it is. Junior Shane Morris is the lone (nIB to return to Michigan's roster with s~ exp e rience — two games. Senior Jake Rudock transferred fium Iowa with 25 start sunder hisbelt.He threw for 2,436 yards with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions in 2014.

"I want both of them going into this game with the mindset that they' re one play away or they' re starting," Harbaugh said."It's the mindset I always want our quarterback and backup going into the game with.

"If (keeping Utah in the dark)is a byproduct of it, we' ll take that as well."

Utah coach Kyle Whittingham had a different issue. Senior Travis Wilson is a four-year starter who has struggled with consistency throughout his career. He lost the job twice in 2014, but still had an edge on senior Kendal Thompson, who replaced Wilson last season beforesuffering a season-ending knee injury.

Whittingham said the job was Wilson's to lose at the beginning of camp and there was never an indication that he lost it. The Utes made it official Monday.

Blue 3ays maintain lead over Yankees in East TORONTO (AP) — R.A. Dickey pitched a four-hitter to win his seventh straight decision, Josh Donaldson had three hits and Toronto beat Cleveland.

Toronto won for the fifth time in six games and maintained a 1 V2-game lead over the New York Yankees in the AL East.

Dickey (10-10) threw 92 pitches, including 68 strikes, in his second complete game of the season and 15th of his career. He's unbeaten in 10 starts, dating to a July 9 road loss against the White Sox. Dickey set down 14 straight before Jason Kipnis hit a one-out single in the ninth.

Francisco Lindor ended it by grounding into a double play.

Donaldson went 3 for 4 with three RBIs, raising his ML-leading total to 111.

Yankees 13, Red Sox 8 BOSTON (AP) — Greg Bird, John Ryan Murphy and Carlos Beltran homered during an eight-run second inning and New York beat Boston.

Stephen Drew doubled during New York's big inning and added a three-run homer in the third. Didi Gregorius later homered for the Yankees.

Masahiro Tanaka (11-6) pitched into the seventh inning to help the Yankees won for the fifth time in six games. New York improved to 7-2 against the Red Sox at Fenway Park this season and 10-5 overall this season against their longtime rivals.

The win was the 800th of Yankees manager Joe Girardi's career.

Reds 7, Cubs 4 CHICAGO (AP) — Joey

Votto hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning that was set up by third baseman Kris Bryant's two-out error, and Cincinnati beat Chicago.

Bryant hit a two-run hom-

er in the eighth that made it 4-all. The rookie has 22 home runs and 84 RBIs. Cubs closer Hector Rondon (5-3) retired the first two batters in the ninth. Jason Bourgeois, who homered earlier, followed with a single.

Jay Bruce then hit a hard grounder that went through Bryant's legs for an error, and Votto connected for his 27th home run.

"I feel that it's always a learning experience regardless of what level you are at," Rodgers said. "I'm really enjoying it and I'm feeling comfortable. I have all my confidence. The question is, right now, if the team and my coaches have the confidence I have behind me, to be able to get the job done? And I hope they do."

With no regular season game film of the 2015 Grizzlies, it is tough to know exactly what Summerville will see tonight from Mariposa.

But, if history is any factor, it will be a tough, physical game.

"I expectto see a lotofintensity from Mariposa," said senior defensive lineman Kenney Warnock. "But our defensive line is prepared and have been practicing really hard. Our scout team has given us a good look this week and we are ready. Last year, they were really good and had a lotof athletic players.

They spread the ball around and did a good job moving the ball through the air. I think that this year we might see a bit more running from them."

If Mariposa sticks to the ground game, the Bears want as many hats to the ball carrier as possible. Summerville surrendered 251 yards on the ground last week, and too many of those yards came off a missed tackle. eSwarming to the ball, to me, is the biggest deal out there on defense," Rodgers said. "Anybody that is a real football player can make one

or two guys miss. Some guys like JT (McCready) can make three guys miss. But, swarming to the ball is what defense is. I mean, you are lucky if one guy can come in and make a solo tackle like (McCormic) Banks did last week. You always need multiple guys to the ball."

''We expect them to play at the same level that they have been playing through the workweek of practice," said Bears head coach Sean Leveroos. "Because we practice program wide, we are able to see those kids go against varsity kids already.

So we just expect them to play the same way they have been practicing. They strengthen our varsity program."

"Esquivel is the fastest kid out here," Rodgers said. "He holds a few track records. He' s crazy quick. Dawson Robles has only played two years, but hedoes a goodjob ofplaying the ball and has great hands. And I haven't seen a sophomore play as nasty as Brick. He reminds me a lot of Nathaniel (Ulvevadet). Both of them play really nasty."

Back on time The one slight bug-a-boo that came from the opening week win over Denair, was the blank Thorsted Field scoreboard. With the board not working for both the JV and varsity game, it made coaching, watching — and reporting — slightly more difficult. It did, however, not play a factor in the end result of either game. So, what was the issue?

Serena Williams moves forward in Slam bid NEW YORK (AP) — The enormity of what is at stake for Serena Williams at the U.S. Open — the first true Grand Slam in tennis in more than a quarter of a century — hit her Wednesday.

That, she said, is why her play was so uneven in the second round at Flushing Meadows, despite facing a qualifier ranked only 110th.

And it's why, after the 10 double-faults, two dozen other unforced errors and an allaround sloppy first set, Williams got pointers &om coach Patrick Mouratoglou and headed strai ght to a practice court to put in work, hoping to repair what plagued her during a 7-6 (5), 6-3 victory over Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands.

She got broken early. She double-faulted four t i m es — yes, four — in one game.

She didn't manage to earn a break point against the strongserving Bertens until the 10th game. Williams trailed 5-3 in the first set, finally broke for 5-all, butthen needed toerase a 4-0 deficit in the tiebreaker.

All attributable, at least in part, to thinking about what she is trying to accomplish these two weeks.

She has won the past four major titles, a streak that began at last year's US. Open, and 21 overall. If she can win five more matches at Flushing

Meadows — starting in the third round against Bethanie Mattek-Sands in an all-U.S. matchup Friday — Williams would complete the fi r st calendar-year Grand Slam in tennis since Steffi Graf in 1988.

time in four starts this season. He allowed

one run and six hits and walked one on a career high-tying 132 pitches for his third complete game of the season.

'That's what you want to see &om one of your horses," catcher Yasmani Grandal said.

"He wanted to finish out the game."

Kershaw leads the National League in strikeouts, surpassing his career-best of248 set in2011. His 15 strikeouts tied a career high after having 14 against the Cubs in his previous start.

THOMPSON Continued from PageCl in 1997. And Bowman proves to be the heart and soul ofa 49ersdefensebuilton speed and toughness. He leads this unit like Ray Lewis led the 2003 Baltimore Ravens.

Yeah, Lewis had five Pro Bowlers with him.

But pass rusher Aaron Lynch, free safety Eric Reid, a healthy version of corner Tramaine Brock and a solid year from linebacker Corey Lemonier help gives Bowman some adequate supporl.

In this world, Colin Kaepernick throws for 3,000 yards, 20 touchdowns and rushes for 1,000 yards.

No, it hasn't been done before. Russell Wilson nearly did it last year, falling 151 rushing yards shy. Robert GrifBn III was 185 yards shy in 2012.

The closest was Randall Cunningham, who rushed for 942 yards in 1990 while throwing for 3,466 and 30 touchdowns.

Kaepernickthrew for3,369 lastyear and rushedfor639 yards.He also led theleague in sacks (52) and played in an offense that mistook him for Jeff George.

With the 49ers offensive line shaping up as one of the most suspect in the NFL, it is a safe bet that Kaepernick will take off more. And if offensive coordinator Geep Chryst is of the mind to use all of Kaepernick's skills, No. 7 rushingfor800 yardswouldn'tbemiraculous.

The big question is the 3,000 yards. But in 2013, Kaepernick threw 60 fewer passes, completeda career-low 58.4 percent and still totaled 3,197. With a new deep threat in Torrey Smith, Kaepernick should be able to im-

Lincecum of the Giants fanned 261 in 2009.

"He just pounded the strike zone," Bochy said. 'We were behind in the count it seemed like every hitter. He's got some weapons out there."

Mike Leake (9-7) gave up two runs and five hits in seven innings, struck out three and walked none. He is winless in five starts since the Giants acquired him from Cincinnati on July 30.

"He's going to keep it to a one-run game," Leake said of Kershaw. "It's not added stress, but it's a fun challenge. Unfortunately, we came out on the losing end."

Kershaw's performance gave the Dodgers' oft-shaky bullpen a rest after it came up big in the series' first two games, a 5-4, 14-inning win Monday and a 2-1 victory Tuesday.

Utley's first homer as a Dodger put the team ahead for good, 2-1.

The Giants tied the game 1-all in the sixth on a RBI single by Angel Pagan.

Los Angeles led 1-0 on Carl Crawford's RBI double in the second.

Bochy was ejected in the dugout afler Brandon Belt struck out leading off the eighth. He claimed it was a checked swing and appealed to third base umpire Mike Winters, who tossed Bochy before the manager came onto the field to argue in person.

In this world, Jarryd Hayne is Devin Hester on Vegemite.

In this world, Carlos Hyde holds up as the reliableback the 49ers desperately need to replace Frank Gore. Hyde has more burst than Gore and looks to be in the ballpark in terms of physicality. But the heart and the resilience are what made Gore special. That' s what the 49ers get from Hyde to resurrect the groundgame thathad them oneofthetoughest teams in the NFC. It would help if Arizona took a step back and St. Louis stopped its incline. If the NFC South remains an embarrassment, if the AFC North — which the 49ers play this year — is again disappointing, if Dallas suffers from the loss of stud back DeMarco Murray.

Such a perfect storm greatly helps the 49ers chances.

Because in this world, the 49ers hang in there through the heart of the schedule, stay competitive and in the mix. All the while Jim Tomsula, whose hiring had 49ers haters laughing and 49ers fans befuddled, learns the ropesand leans on hispersonality to inspire and bond of the team.

Then, down the stretch, the 49ers clean up on the bad teams on the back end of their schedule and clinch a playo6' berth with an emotional home win to close the regular season.

Stop laughing at me.

You want old-school Darlington? How about David Pearson on the pole in 1975?AP Will rebirth work for Darlington?
