well known in Tuolumne as a star athlete. Dossi's research is now a book, "More Than A Number: The Gabe Rice Story," a biography released last week that chronicles the life and athletic career of Gabe Rice, who died in an accident in Calaveras County in 1993. Dossi,27, a sports reporter for The Union Democrat, set out to write a book about sports but instead it became a questto tell a story of a tragedy that had a profound impact for a Mother Lode community in the 1990s. "They sayyou never want to meet your heroes, but that's for people who have the chance to," Dossi said. Rice, as quarterback for the Summerville High School Bears, led the team to its first Mother Lode League Championship in 28 years. Along with coaches Ben Watson, Dave Woods and Marlin Heldstab, he turned the program aroundduring the early 1990s. The story is told through detailed recounts of games, highlighted by a wealth of commentary from former coaches, family and friends. The book was a way "to get to know" the late sports fi gure Dossi idolized since childhood. As an 8-year-old, Dossi latched onto the "all-American Superman" he saw in his quarterback cousin. "I was getting to the age where I was starting to understand sports and thought, my cousin's a quarterback, Steve Young is a quarterback, they must be the exact same thing," Dossi

GUEST COLUMN

Donald Trump's tower of babble

AW,

SHUDD UP.'

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has a point when he talks about the need for immigrants to learn English. That's how we assimilate," he says. Which is true, as any visitor to Miami's Little Havana has observed. You can spend an en-

Kathleen

P>Ik~I Cuban section of the city and hear nary a word of English. Many never bothered to learn English because, mainly, they didn't have to. They' ve gotten by just fine in their tiny nation within a city. Nor, to Trump's point, have they assimilated. Such pockets doubtless exist elsewhere, especially in border states, and are likely to expand as more people come here illegally. To Trump and those he appeals to, these population trends pose an existential threat to the country. A nation divided by language is a nation divided. Which is also true. But it is utterly ridiculous to insist that only English be spoken at all times. This was the implication &om Trump's latest jab at Jeb Bush, who recently answered questions in Spanish during a Miami news conference. The questions were asked in Spanish, so it must have seemed natural for Bush, who is bilingual, to respond in kind. This is classic Trump. He sees his opponent's positive and converts it to a negative. One of Bush's trump cards is that he can speak directly to Hispanic voters who are crucial to winnirig the presidency. Thanks to Trump's derogatory remarks about Mexicans and his deport-'em doctrine, his net favorability among Hispanic voters is minus-51 compared to Bush's plus-11 (compared to Hillary Clinton's plus-40!). This, despite the fact that Trump persists in reminding everyone that he employs thousands of Hispanics and "they love met" Rather than modify his message to include a smidgeon of empathy for people who come here looking for work, Trump figured out a way to diminish Bush's advantage, or at least to rebrand it &om Hey, a bilingual Republican nominee.Cool! to, 'He should really set an example by speaking English while in the United States." Well, yeah. One should. But as a b~ per s on myself, I can't express how grateful I am to my father who insisted I learn the language, telling me: ''You' re going to need to know Spanish to survive in the world you' re going to inherit." Circumstances didn't prove to be quite as urgent as he had but he was prescient about future demographics. As it turns out, I speak Spanish daily, which I enjoy for its own sake. But also I enjoy warm relationships with countless new Americans who haven't yet mastered the predominant language and appreciatethe gesture ofrespect.W e connect on a levelothers

imaginee r,

can' t.

Giving Trump his due, we' re connecting because of our shared language. And, you can be sure, Bush and Marco Rubio are also connecting with those voters and reporters who address them in Spanish. Trump knows full well how valuable bilingualism is in this country, especially when it comes to his own businesses. A 2014 job posting for one of his hotels said bilingualism was "preferred." That's just plain business sense — and Bush is merely brandishing his political sense. Another positive-turner'-negative is Bush's "low energy," a trait identifled by Trump that others might recognize as maturity or calm. Trump is demonstrably high energy when it comes to talking loud and fast, which somehow in the past decade or so became conflated with being really, really smart. The motivating idea seems to be that super-smart people have to talk really fast to keep up with their super-fast brains. Tell that to the country lawyer. Bush's style isn't exactly, say, electric, but he does have actual policies in his actual brain to back his campaign points. You may not like or agree with them, but at least there's something there — a book on immigration, a legislative history on education, a longtime personal relationship with the Hispanic world. With Trump it's all later, baby. Essentially, his motto is: Trust me, I can do this. Trump is instinctively brilliant, however, as narcissists tend to be. He intuits what people want and gives it to them. When people say they like Trump because 'He speaks his mind," they really mean they like him because he speaks their mind.

ki&cW GUEST COLUMN

GOP immigration stance is suicide Nine years ago, aboard a National Review cruise, I debated immigration policy with my colleagues and the cruisers. It was a good discussion that touched all the familiar bases. Are there really jobs Americans won't do? Are big business and big agriculture enmeshed in a corrupt bargain with liberal Democrats whereby business gets cheap labor and Democrats get new voters? I argued then, as I do today, that there are many serious immigration

reforms we ought to be undertaking. We have a valuable commodity — the right to live and work in the U.S.A. (and in some cases to become a citizen) — and we should not be handing it out to just anyone. We should swiftly deport criminals even as we should be more welcoming to those who earn PhDs or bring other skills. But I also argue that illegal immigration, particularly from Mexico, is steeply declining and likely to continue to; that even most Republicans, to say nothing of the largerelectorate,are moderate on immigration; and that immigrants tend to work hard. I respectthe restrictionist position, but there is one argument they advance that I do not understand. They say that unless we stop immigrationlegal and illegal — there is no chance for conservative governance or for the Republican Party. I say, unless Republicans refrain from causing a stampede

to the Democrats by denigrating Mexicans as "rapists" and urging "deportation" (even of American citizens!), we will not win another national election. The demographic reality is already baked into the cake. The share of the electoratethat considers itself Hispanic grew by 49 percent between 2000 and 2012, compared with 5.8 per-

cent growth for the non-Hispanic portion. Hispanics are disproportionately young.The median age for native-born Hispanics is just 18, compared with 42 for non-Hispanic whites. The vast majority of Hispanic youths (93 percent) are native-born and thus eligible to vote when they turn 18, as 800,000 Hispanics do yearly. Generational replacement alone could double the number of Hispanic votersby 2032. While it's true that Hispanics remain only 10 percent of voters for now, their share of the electorate is growing in key swing states. In North Carolina, for example, the Hispanic share isprojected to increase from 3.1percent (2012) to 4.5 percent (2016). The white percentage is expected to drop by two points. Assuming 2012 turnout rates, North Carolina, which voted for Mitt Romney, would go to the Democrats. The picture is similar in Florida, Nevada, Colorado and Virginia. Hispanic voter participation rates are among the lowest of any race or ethnic group. Only about half of eligible voters participate in presidential years and many fewer in off years. But that could change very fast. The presence of Barack Obama on the ballot shot black voterparticipation rates through the ceiling in 2008 and 2012. A Hispanic Democratic nominee might do the same for that demographic — as could the presence on the Republican ticket of a candidatewho favors deporting American-born children of illegal immigrants.

ics vote Democrat.

In 2014, 49 percent ofHispanic voters said their No. 1 issue was the economy, which was more than the 45 percent of the whole electorate who named the economy as the top issue and dwarfed the 16 percent of Hispanics who cited immigration. But that was in a year when Republicans were not at war with immigrants. Everything depends on tone. With an inclusive message, there's no limit to what Republicans might achieve, even on restricting immigration. But if the Trump claxon comes to define Republicanism, the list of those fleeing will start with Hispanics, but won't end there. What's le will be moribund.

"Oh, please," say the restrictionists, "Republicans can't pander to Hispanics the way Democrats do." Nor should they. How about just appealing to them as Americans and not insulting them? Consider the results of recent races. Greg Abbott, governor ofTexas,won 44 percentof the Hispanic vote.Georgia's Republican Gov. Nathan Deal won 47 percent of Hispanics, as did Gov. Sam Brownback in Kansas. In New Jersey in 2013, Gov. Chris Christie got 51 percent of the Hispanic vote. They were all winners. As Pew's Mark Hugo Lopez explained in 2014, "It's not a massive phenomenon, but Latinos identified less with the Democratic Party, and a growing share identified with Republicans." It is not necessary for Republicans to win a majority of Hispanic votes to win elections. What they cannot survive is a trend in which AfricanAmerican sized percentages of Hispan-

A disentanglement team &om the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is heading to the Catalina Channel where the whale was spotted Friday afternoon.

'This gun has no safety," Gonzalez said of the .40 caliber semiautomatic pistolthat was reported stolen in June bya federal agent. Gonzalez said the gun is a common weapon used by law enforcement and police have reportedother accidentaldischarges. 'There is no evidence that he put his finger in the trigger," the lawyer said. Judge Brendan Conroy said he heard enough evidenceover a fi ve-day preliminary hearing to warrant a jury trial for Lopez-Sanchez, at Kate Steinle," prosecutor who has pleaded not guilty.

A judge ruled Friday that a man at the center of the national immigration debate must stand trial on a murder charge in the shooting of a young San Francisco woman. Juan Francisco LopezSanchez, 45, is charged with second-degree murder in the July 1 killing of 32-year-old Kate Steinle as she walked with her father and a family friend along the San Francisco waterfront. He could face life in prison if convicted. Lopez-Sanchez acknowledged shooting Steinle but said the gun he found under a bench had fi red accidentally. Prosecutors disagreed. "He couldhave fi red the gun anywhere, but he fired

mass deportations to curb il-

legal immigration. California Sen. Dianne Feinstein and presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, both D emocrats, said Lopez-Sanchez should have been detained. San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi said he was following city law when jailers released Lopez-Sanchez after a 20-yearold marijuana possession charge was dropped. The sherifF said his department requires federal officials to obtain a warrant or some other judicial notice in order for his jail to hold an

inmate facing possible deportation.

Gonzalez said Lopez-Sanchez is homeless and has a second-grade education. He was released from jail in April with no money then arrested an hour after the shooting while wearing one sock and two pairs of pants to keep warm. Lopez-Sanchez told police at one point that he was shooting at a seal or a black fish. But Gonzalez said it was an awkward effort by LopezSanchez to explain the accidental shooting. The parents of Steinle have said federal and local authoritiescontri buted to the death through negligence and bureaucratic bungling. The family alleges in legal claims that a Bureau of Land Management ranger left his loaded service weapon in a backpack in plain view in his car before the gun was stolen.

Sacramento college reopens after shooting SACRAMENTO (AP) — A Sacramento community college reopened Friday as officers searched for a gunman who fatally shot one man and wounded two others in a parking lot at the edge of campus, officials said. Sacramento police Sgt. Doug Morse said the gunman ran away after the shooting near a campus baseball field Thursdayafternoon and wasn't found in a sweep of the campus and surrounding neighborhood. The Sacramento County coroner' s

office said Friday that Roman P. Gonzalez,25, died at the scene, according to The Sacramento Bee. Another victim was hospital ized and is expected to survive, authorities said, and a third was grazed by a bullet. Their names have not been released. All three were students at the school. The shooting began as an argument between two groups of men, said

Dustin Poore of the Los Rios police, which patrols Sacramento City College. A fight escalated when a knife and gun were pulled out, said police in a news release late Thursday. Police said the shooting victim was believed to be involved in the fight. Authorities have not ruled out gang involvement. It was also unclear whether the gunman has any ties to the school, and police have not given a motive. The gunman, wearing a whiteTshirt and cargo shorts, remained at large %%day. The campus was locked down for about two hours Thursday before police officers had cleared all the buildings and allowed students and staff to leave, Morse said. Police descended on the campus shortly after the gunfire broke out,

The bill by Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon and Sen.

It's supposed tobe a good environment, and you don't want to be scared here." Jackie Flores, 50, who lives across the streetfrom the parking lot,said she heard four or five gunshots. "It all happened so fast," she told the Bee. Classes were in session at the twoyear college in central Sacramento with a student body of about 25,000. The fall semester began Aug. 22.

en azi uesions i nonai eami u i c s a WASHINGTON (AP) A senior member of Hillary Rodham Clinton's inner circle testified Friday before a House panel investigating the deadly 2012 attacks in Libya as a nasty spat erupted between a Republican staffer and a Democratic lawmaker who insists it's time for the committee to disband. Jake Sullivan,a former policy director and deputy chief of staff under Clinton at the State Department, was questioned by the panel in a daylong session of testimony behind closed doors. Sullivan said at the close oftheday that hewas proud to talk about the "extraordinary service"of his former colleaguesat the State Department. "I was happy to answer every question the commit-

3ailed Kentucky clerk's attorney:

Marriage licensesfor gays are void MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) — A jailed Kentucky clerk asserted that marriage licenses issued without her authority Friday to gay couples in Rowan County are void and "not worth the paper they are written on" because she didn't authorize them, her attorney said. Kim Davis now wears an orange jumpsuit and "has already been doing Bible studies with herself" in jail, her attorney Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel told reporters after meeting with her behind bars. He said Davis is in verygood spirits,and is prepared to stay as long as it takes to uphold her religious &eedonls.

"She's not going to resign, she's not going to sacrifice her conscience, so she's doing what Martin Luther King Jr. wrote about in his Letter from the Birmingham Jail, which is to pay the consequences for her decision," Staver said. Meanwhile, Staver said he's preparing to appeal U.S. District Judge David Bunning's contempt finding as one of several legal challenges on her behalf. At least three gay couples received marriage licenses Friday &om one of Davis'

deputies, embracing and celebrating after repeatedlybeing turned away before Davis was jailed on Thursday. Their attorneys, along with Rowan County Attorney Cecil Watkins, said the licenses are valid. Bunning said Thursday he did not know if the licenses were valid but ordered them to be issued anyway. Marriage licenses in Kentucky usually have the elected clerk's signature on them; those handed out Friday lacked any signature. The Rowan County attorney and lawyersforthe gay couples said they are legal and valid nevertheless. When the judge was asked if the licenses will be considered valid without Davis' authorization, he said it was up to the gay couples to take that chance. William Smith Jr. and James Yates, a couple for nearly a decade, were the first through the door. Deputy clerk Brian Mason congratulated the couple, shook their hands and acceptedtheir fee of$35.50.Yates then rushed across the courthouse steps to hug his mom. "Civil rights are civil rights and they are not subject to belief," said Yates, who had been denied a license five times previously.

Refugees in Hungary start moving west on foot

Those close to the second lady say she won't stand in the way of her husband's political ambitions, but her feelings about a White House bid are a major factor in Biden's decision. Only three months after losing their son, Beau, to brain cancer, the 72-yearold Biden appeared somber and weary at an Atlanta synagogue Thursday night as he pondered his family's readiness. "The honest-to-God answer is I just don't know," he said.

While the vice president's deliberations have played out in semi-public fashion, Jill Biden's have taken place away &om the spotlight. She has yet to discuss in detail with her staff her views on a possible presidential run. But she has been looking out for her husband and echoing his concerns about whether he can completely devote himself to a hard-fought campaign, according to several people who have spoken to her in recent weeks.

Animals at Calaveras County's Animals Services have new living quarters thanks to a group called Friends of Animal Services.

FOCAS focuses on improved shelters for homeless dogs and cats By JASON COWAN

While entering the Calaveras County Animal Shelter in San Andreas, it may be difficult to ignore the crowded living arrangements and the volume of the setting within the confines of the structure — originally designed as a maintenance building — that houses both dogs and cats. "It'stoo small to accommodate this county asit is,for both animals," said Debbie Beaufort, chair of Friends of Calaveras Animal Society — a non-profit

formed a year ago exclusively in support of the animal shelter. But that is all set to change in the coming weeks when the shelter opens a cat house, capping the end of a process that began in January with the transportation of two empty trailer modules. The transportation cost more than $15,000 from Hazel Fischer Elementary School in Arnold to San Andreas. 'That was a killer deal. The first deal we got was for $33,000,"said Beaufort. "They have trucks, trailers, have to get all kinds of permits. They dismantled them at Hazel Fisher school, put

them up on these big, huge trucks and brought them down here." FOCAS renovated the modularswhich will be owned by the countyin order to make them habitable for felines. Over time, FOCAS completely redesigned the interior; they put up and painted the walls, installed a plumbing system and implemented a new tile fiooring. Once the doors officially open and the modules become fully operational, the Animal Shelter will have the abilSee FOCAS / Page B2

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation. They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.corn

Shift in personali is possibly health related Annie's Mailbox I thought Rhonda might be interested. Instead, she said my kiend'8 children were ugly and make too much noise on their balcony, and added a few unkind remarks about my &iend'8 wife. Aside from allof these remarks being irrelevantand untrue,they were also rude and disr espectful. hn da's husband, children and grandchil dren are close to me.I don't want to lose this friendship. What would you do in my shoes? —UPSET IN MONTREAL DEAR UPSET: We would talk to Rhonda and ask whether she is feeling OK and if she has seen her doctor lately. Any change in personality can be from medical causes. You also can express your

concern to her husband and children and ask whether they have seen negative changes in Rhonda's behavior. Othenvise,good kiends are honest, while being compassIonate. Tell Rhonda, nicely, that you 6nd her remarks surprisinglyunkind and disrespectfuL Ask whether there is more going on that is causing her stress or unhappiness. She may have issues that are not connected toyou, but which are causing her pain that she is taking out on those closest to her. DEAR ANNK: For a number of years, I worked with a man who shared words of wisdom spoken to him on his wedding day. His brand new father-inlaw told him that he could either be right or he could be happy, but not both. So my pal developed a reply to his wife which went something like this: "You' re right, Honey, I don't know how you put up with me. Fm a jerk." He re-

alizedearly on that he didn't have to "win" an argument. Instead he "wonN

his happiness. Arguments solve nothing. A difference of opinion is OK If two peoplealways agree,then only one of them is doing their own thinking.NOW I KNOW DEAR NOW: While we realize that many husbands find this advice to be worthwhile, we find it a bit condescending to women. But you are absolutely right that many arguments canbe resolved ifone party simply says, 'You' re right. Fm sorry." And it doesn't matter which person.

Special packaging for meds important in summer DEAR DK ROACH:I get all of my medicine by mail. Since the manufacturersstress keeping the pills at cool room temperatures, I wonder what the excessive heat does to them. The medicine must cook all day in the mailbox — way over 100 degrees here in Florida. I wonder how much the pills or liquids are deteriorating, and how the effectiveness is influenced.— F.N. ANSWER: You are right to be concerned. All medicines should be stored in acooland dark place,asdirect stm light and heat can damage their effectiveness. Hormones, such as oral contraceptivepills, thyroid hormone and insulin, are among the most sensitive. Nitroglycerine is as well. Although some are shipped in packaging with cold packs and insulation, that's not always the case. I recommend using a local pharma-

cy,but many people have prescription plans that require them to use mail order.Ifthat's the case foryou,try to make sure the medicine will be deliveredwhen you are available to receive it. If you have a temperature-sensitive medicine, such as the ones I mention

DEAR ANME: I have been ITIends with '%honda" for decades. She has always been a dear friend, but lately, she seems to have no sympathy for anyone. Either that, or she is so angry with me that she has become disrespectful. I don't know why, and it is having a very negative aft'ect on our relationship. Recently, I was ill. I did not inform Rhonda, nor was I asking for her assistance. Shehappened tocallaskingfora ridetoa concertand proceeded to ridicule me for being sick. Since I am a physician, she apparently thinks I should avoid all illness. Then she said I must be sick because I am getting old, which I found neither comforting nor helpful, and rather rude. Last week, a dear ITiend died. hnda didn't know this person well, but they did live in a neighboring condo. After the funeral, my husband and I were invited to Rhonda'8 home for dinner. I brought along the rather distinguished obituaryand order of service,because

DEAR DR ROACH: My 59-yearold sonhas ci rrhosis,probably from a blood transfusion he had as a teenageR His gastroenterologist tells him he is two years away from going on the transplant list for a new liver. Do you know if someone with compatible blood coulddonate a pieceofhisorherliver? Would that provide him with enough healthy liver? Also, he heard that you live only about five years with a new liver. Is that true? — B.M. ANSWElt Cirrhosis after a blood transfusion makes me suspect that yourson'sliverdisease isdue to hepatitis C. If that's the case, his gastroen-

terologist has had or will have a discussion with him about new treatments for hepatitis C that will hopefully keep him ITom needing a transplant. However, ifhe does need a transplant, it can be done from a family member or even from a nonrelated person. There are risks to the donor, but major complications happen in only 1 to 3 percent of cases. The transplanted lobe of the liver doesrapidlyregenerate.Theresultsfor the recipient are comparable to thatof deceased organ donors. Only the transplant surgeons can recommend whether a living donor is possible. For adults itt your son's age group, the likelihood of surviving five years a&er liver transplantation is about 70 percent. The booklet on hepatitis explains the three different kinds.

sia. I had never heard of this. My primary care doctor sent me for further testing, which included an MRI and MRA with contrast, and a CT scan. All were normal. Can you elaborate further on this condition? — M.T.M. ANSWER: Transient global amnesia is acause ofretrograde amnesia ("retrogradea meaning you don't remember

things from the past, usually the past day to a month, but sometimes longer; "anterograde" means memory loss forward from the time of the event). Its cause is unknown, but it occurs more &ettuently in men and women over

50. Your doctor ordered the appropriate tests to make sure it wasn't a TIA or stroke. Epilepsy sometimes can look similar to TGA, so sometimes an EEG is obtained. As scary as it sounds, TGA usually doesn't happen again and doesn't predict a higher risk of developing memory troubles, stroke or epilepsy in the tuture. Readers may write Dr. Roach, j/I.D.,

TOdayin hiStOry Today is Saturday, September 5, the 248th day of 2015. There are 117 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On September 5, 1945, Japanese-American Iva Toguri D'Aquino, suspected of being wartime broadcaster "Tokyo Rose," was arrested in Yokohama. (D'Aquino was later convicted of treason and served six years in prison; she was pardoned in 1977 by President Gerald R. Ford.) On this date: In 1939, four days after war had broken out in Europe, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a proclamation declaring U.S. neutrality in the conflict. In 1957, the novel "On the Road," by Jack Kerouac, was first published by Viking Press. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed legislation making aircraft hijackings a federal crime. In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford escaped an attempt on his life by Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a disciple of Charles Manson, in Sacramento, California. In 1984, the space shuttle Discovery ended its inaugural flight as it landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In 1995, France ended its three-year moratorium on nuclear tests, setting off an underground blast on a South Pacific atoll. In 1997, breaking the royal reticence over the death of Princess Diana, Britain' s Queen Elizabeth II delivered a televised address in which she called her former daughter-in-law "a remarkable person." Mother Teresa died in Calcutta, India, at age 87; conductor Sir Georg Solti died in France at age 84. In 1774, the first Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia.

Thomas Fuller, a 17th-century English est scholar and preacher, said, "Get the facts, or Q 10 7 4 KJ 53 the facts will get you. And when you get'em, get 'em right, or they will get you wrong." Y Y K10 8 2 That sums up rather well what happened K 10 9 6 5 3 2 0 A4 when this deal was played in a social game. J63 4A52 What do you think of the auction?

After a Dealer: South weak jump overcall, responder may bid one Vulnerable: North-South level higher than he would have done in an South West N orth E a st uncontested auction. Here, North's three-heart 1T Sl 3Y Pass bid showed the values for a single raise. With 4 V Pass P a s s Db l . a game-invitational hand, he would have Pass P a s s P a ss jumped to four hearts.

Here, East would have done well to bid three no-trump, which was unbeatable given the 2-2 diamond break. But she did even better when South went on to four hearts with no extra values whatsoever. East happily doubled. West led the spade seven, and East cleverly put in the jack to find out who held the queen. South won with her ace and ran the club queen. The defenders took that trick, two diamonds, one spade and, eventually, one trump for down two, plus 500. South did not face up to the facts and paid a steep price.

BRIEFING

Nadal blows 2-set Slam lead NEWYORK IAP)For the first time in his career, Rafael Nadal lost a Grand Slam match after taking a two-set lead. And for the first time since 2004, he will end a season without winning at least one Grand Slam title. "The only thing it means," Nadal said about that streak coming to a close, "is l played amazing the last 10 years." Once soseemingly invincible, able to run down every last ball and tough to slow down once out in front, Nadal was beaten 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 by 32nd-seeded Fabio Fognini of Italy in the third round of the U.S. Open. "To win like that — against him, from two sets down — is something incredible," Fognini said, calling it a "mental victory." The eighth-seeded Nadal's defeat, which finished at nearly 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, follows exits in the quarterfinals at the Australian Open and the French Open, then the second round at Wimbledon.

Williams' extends Grand Slam try NEWYORK IAP) — Even if her latest troublesome first set had finished only an hour earlier, it seemed a distant memory by the time Serena Williams smacked a cross-court forehand passing winner on the run and wound up doing the splits behind the baseline. She leaned forward, yelled and shook both fists, victory nearly hers. Yes, Williams knows as well as anyone that you can't count her out, no matter the deficit, no matter how the pressure might be mounting as she closes in on completing tennis' first true Grand Slam in 27 years. Eight times this season at major tournaments, Williams has dropped the opening set. Eight times, she has won.

They almost saw Petersen and Washington pull off a stunning upset on the field where he providing so many thrilling moments when he was in charge at Boise State. Washington rallied from a 16-0 halftime deficit, but Cameron Van Winkle's 46-yard field goal attempt in the closing seconds went wide right and No. 23 Boise State escaped with a 16-13 win over Petersen and the Huskies on Friday night.

BULLFROGS Continued from PageCl Then, Bret Harte reverted tothe Bullfrogs of old. Following a touchdown by Orestimba in response, the 'Frogs put the ball on the ground two times on the next drive — a recurring theme in 2014 — losing one. The Bullfrogs would fumble again just prior to entering the half with a 31-6 deficit in an eventual 45-6 loss. "The players started losing focus. That's the thing I have to really get with these guys — they have to retaintheir focus," said Kester. "They can't just have a couple of good plays then just take time off; stop forgetting what they' re doing. It was just mental errors, that's all it was." Despite the lopsided loss Friday, Kester said he was happy with the way the Bullfrogs fought to the end, a characteristic that has not been common in years past. "The biggest takeaway from tonight was that the guys did not give up. We' ve s een them do t ha t b e fore," said Kester. "They' ve seen that things work and they know that it was just those silly, stupid mistakes they' ve made in the past. We just have to drill that out of them."

"He was just huge tonight. I haven't seen somebody intercept four passes in a long time." Early in the contest, it was eerily quiet on the Wildcat side of the field. No fans were allowed to sit behind the visiting team due to an ongoing lawsuit involving handicap accessibility. So the couple hundred traveling Sonora fans were asked to sit in the corner of the stadium, near the end zone on the far side of the field. "It was kind of different," Craig said "It' s kind of weird not having any fans behind us. We' re used to having that noise so the atmosphere was different."

The Athletics' manager is running out of ways to describe his ballclub's epic fallfrom threetime div i sion champion to owner of the worst record in the AL.

"It's always nice to get off to a good start but it wasn't enough," Valencia said. "It' s frustrating but that's how it goes sometimes. It's tough when you' re not winning."

Mike Bolsinger (6-3), who spent August with Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowed just two hits in five innings, but they were both home runs.

first drive of the game. That is exactly what happened. A 49-yard pass from Byrd to Ramirez helped move the ball to the Escalon 5. With 7:19 remaining in the first quarter, junior running back Anthony Giangregorio capped a 74-yard drive with a 5-yard run right up the gut, and Calaveras led 6-0. " Scoring on t h a t fi r s t drive was really big for our confidence," said Weatherby. "We did a similar thing last year, and then continued to play offensively really well. Tonight, it was like we did the best on our first drive and then after that we kinda slowed down. Escalon might have changed some things defensively that we didn' t recognize in the second or third drive." The Calaveras defense, the same defense that surrendered 74 points to McNair a week ago, looked as if it had been reborn. Linebackers Nick Quinday, Elijah Stockdale, Shane Torre, and Wade McCann werefi ying all around the field and laying devastating hits on the Escalon ball carriers. "Our intensity was just way higher this week," said senior JJ G onzalez."We were making plays, and everyone was rallying to the ball." Torre unleashed the fury late in the firstquarter, sacking quarterback Dylan Azevedo for a seven-yard loss. Torre brought the wood again in the second quarter,

Quarterback Dylan Byrd (5) calls a play in the huddle against Escalon Friday night at Engel Field. driving running back C.J. G umbs five yards in t h e backfield before slamming him to the ground like John Henry would slam a hammer.

"Getting to the quarterback is a pretty big confidencebooster because itjust puts your mindset in the attitude that you own the football field and you can control what happens on it," said Torre. "It's always fun making the other team look bad." Though the 'Skins defense was running on all cylinders, the offensebegan to leak oil in the second quarter. Everything they did, Escalon had an answer for. Giangregorio, as well as Cameron More and Gonzalez, did t h eir best to move the ball on the ground, and every inch they ran, was with a defender on their back. "Escalon is a really physical team and they are big up front," Torre said. "They are

really well coached and they do what they are taught. They don't fall for all the sucker plays." Escalon put a drive of their own together the final minute of the first half, which culminated in a 11yard touchdown pass from Azevedo to Dustin L awrence. Escalon led 7-6 heading into the locker room. The score didn't take the wind out of the Redskins sails. Gonzalez made an open-fieldtackle on receiver Sam Latting on third down, which forced an Escalon punt. Two drives later, McCann sacked Azevedo for a seven-yard loss. The sack ignited the Calaveras bench as well as its San Andreas supporters. In the third quarter, Calaveras abandoned the pass and went with it s power running game. Though they had more success moving the ball, the 'Skins couldn' t make that one big play to

lead to 14-6. Calaveras had one final hope, and it rested on the arm of Byrd. The 6-foot-4 quarterback had no timeouts to work with, and no room for error. He connected with Giangregorio for eight yards, and later wit h G o nzalez for 28-yards. Gonzalez made a circus-style catch, and fell out ofbounds — or so it appeared. The refs ruled him in bounds and the clock continued to run. "I thought I got out of bounds, but they kept running the clock," Gonzalez to the occasion and save the said.

Venus moves closer to possible matchup with Serena NEW YORK (AP) — All in one fell swoop, Venus Williams eliminated one of the only two women who beat her younger sister this season and moved closer to a possible U.S. Open quarterfinal showdown against Serena. Gathering herself after a midmatch dip in play Friday, Venus reeled off the last five games and beat 12th-seeded Belinda Bencic of Switzerland 6-3, 6-4 to reach the fourth round at Flushing Meadows for the first time since 2010. Did Venus get any family advice before facing Bencic, who defeated Serena last month en route to the ti-

Hingis, who was sitting in the front row of her guest box in Arthur Ashe Stadium on a cloudy, breezy afternoon. During an on-court interview after the victory Friday, Venus was asked about having reached her first major final in her U.S. Open debut back in 1997 — about six months after Bencic was born. Venus happened to lose that match to Hi ngs. "Why do you have to bring all that stuff up? It makes me feel old," Venus replied, chuckling. "I love the game. I love the U.S. Open. I love how everyone got behind me, even

tle at a hard-court event in Toronto?

Venus trailed 4-1 in the second set beforegrabbing the lastfive games againsta player she called "tena-

"Yes, but that's between us,"Venus said, breaking into a wide smile. "I think it worked." At 35, Venus was the oldest woman in the field. At 18, Bencic was the youngest to make it to the third round. She is mentored by Martina

cious.

Bencic takes the ball early, plays angles Hingis can appreciate, and is considered a likely future star of the game.

"I feel like the people recognize me a little bit more sometimes, like, 'Oh, she's the girl who beat Serena.' I don't think they know my name," Bencic said, "but they just know I beat her." Serena is seeking to complete a calendar-year Grand Slam at the U.S. Open and brought a 50-2 record in 2015 into her match against Bethanie Mattek-Sands on Friday night. Rafael Nadal was scheduled to face Fabio Fognini after that. In other action, 2014 Wimbledon runner-up Eugenic Bouchard got past 2014 Australian Open runnerup Dominika Cibulkova 7-6 (9), 4-6, 6-3, giving the Canadian her first three-match winning streak since January.Ekaterina Makarova of Russia, seeded 13th, was rebuffed in an attempt to get attention from a trainer for cramping in her tapedup right thigh while serving for the match, but eventually held on to

beat 17th-seeded Elina Svitolina of Ukraine 6-3, 7-5. "I was so scared," said Makarova, who will play 40th-ranked Kristina Mladenovic of France. No. 1 Novak Djokovic and defending champion Marin Cilic moved into the fourth round. Djokovic was broken for the first time in the tournament — twice, actually — but

beat No. 25 Andreas Seppi of Italy 6-3, 7-5, 7-5. Cilic put in a lot more work to edge Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan 6-7 (5), 7-6 (1), 6-3, 6-7

(3), 6-1. Djokovic will play No. 23 Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain, whose opponentFriday,No. 14 David Go%n of Belgium, became the 13th man to stop playing a match because of injury or illness. Djokovic improved to 11-0 against Seppi, who stunned Roger Federer at the Australian Open in January, but insisted this one was not easy.

"He wasn't playing," Djokovic said, ''like he came out with the white flag." After getting broken late in the first set Friday, Bencic looked to be making headway in the second against the 23rd-seeded Venus, breakingfor a 3-1 lead with a running, down-the-line backhand passing shot that drew an errant volley. But Venus won 21 of the last 29 points. Looking head, she could face Serena early next week. Asked on court how aware she was of that, Venus said: "At this point, if you don't know, you' re — I'm not even going to say. I hope we both get to the quarterfinals. I do." Venus will face 19-year-old Anett Kontaveit of Estonia, a qualifier ranked 152nd who beat Madison Brengle of the United Sates 6-2, 3-6, 6-0.Kontaveit hadn't won a Grand Slam match until Monday.

Pats coach Belichick on having Brady back: 'He never left' FOXBOROUGH, M ass. (AP) — Like every game, Patriots coach Bill Belichick says he's focused on his next opponent. But he doesn' t feel like he's got a new edge with star quarterback Tom Brady able to play in the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "He never left," Belichick said Friday when asked how it felt to have Brady back with his four-game "Deflategate" suspension erased.
