The past three weeks have turned lives upside down in Amador and Calaveras counties. From ranches high above the North Fork Mokelumne River to ridgetop and canyon neighborhoods between Mokelumne Hill and Rail Road Flat, to Jesus Maria, Mountain Ranch and Sheep Ranch, out to Sierra Ridge Academy off Fricot City Road, people who used to live there and people who still do are confronting a changed world. The Butte Fire that broke out Sept. 9 and ravaged 110.7 square miles of watersheds, killed two men in neighborhoods under mandatory evacuations, and destroyed 818 structures including 475 homes, was said to be 96 Near the point of origin for the Butte Fire, the burn is evident on Charamupercent contained as of Wednesday. ga Ranch in Amador County.

Demolition of the former Andy's Home Center in Sonora has begun. The project will make way for Sonora Regional Medical Center's new $20 million cancer center and outpatient pavilion. The building and surrounding property on the corner of Mono Way and Greenley Road were purchased by the hospital in 2013 and will be the site of the 65,000-square-foot Diana J. White Cancer Institute, which will include state of the art equipment and medical care. The center is named for the late Groveland resident whose husband, George White, made a $3.3-million estate gift for the project. Excavator operator with Modesto Sand and Gravel Delbert Reese (above) knocks down a wooden overhang with an excavator Wednesday. Beau Dilley (below) uses a hose to wet material as the crew works to demolish the building. Rubble from the building can be seen atthe Mono Way and Greenley Road property (left).

GUEST COLUMN
ivorce not awa s There is a lot going on in the world, and most of it seems frightening, depressing and utterly beyond our control. So if you have not heard, let me tell you about a really wonderful thing that happened this week, a reminder of what matters most. It's the story of a wedding that took place in Ohio last weekend. The father of the bride was set to walk his daughter down the aisle. But in a surprise move, Todd Bachman, the father, stopped the pr o c ession to take the arm of his daughter' s stepfather, T odd Cendrosky. " For m e to thank him for all the years of helping raise our daughter wouldn' t be enough," said Bachman, and invited Cendrosky to join him in walking their daughter down the aisle. There was not a dry eye in the house. The wedding photographer, herself a stepmother, took the photographs and posted them on Facebook,where they have been "Liked" by more than
Susan Estrich
a million viewers.
With half of all marriages ending in divorce, families are not what they used to be. When I grew up, divorce was rare and often scandalous, particularlyin states that required "grounds" for divorce. The 1970s brought a radical shift, with the sexual revolution (which I' ve always thought only liberated men, and put unbelievable pressure on women), and no-fault divorce (ditto) bringing divorce to almost every neighborhood in America, including mine. Since I was all of 19 at the time, I didn't think of either of my parent's subsequent spouses as my stepmother and stepfather. That was, at least in part,because the woman my father married was a world-class jerk (the true description would not belong in a family paper) who thought she was marrying a rich guy, and was bitterly disappointed when it turned out that he wasn' t. Even small gifts to his children had to be hidden in the car. When itrained on the day ofmy college graduation (36 hours after I'd been raped) and we only got two tickets, my father didn't come, because his wife didn't want him going with my mother and without her. He kept the gift he'd bought for me in the trunk of his car, so his wife wouldn't know, and when his car was stolen, so was the gift. Three years later he died and the witch gave me back the radio I'd given my dad, but absolutely nothing of his to remember him by or to show the grandchildren he would never know. As for my first "stepfather" — the man my mother married on the rebound — the best thing I can say about him is that this abusive man didn't last long. When he came at my mother with a knife after she attended my father's funeral, she moved out.
So I'm the last person you'd expect to write an ode to stepparents. But the story of that wedding in Ohio touched my heart and reminded me that all stepparents are not alike. As an adult, I have seen many of my friends struggle to love and be loved by children who are not their own. Sometimes it doesn't work. But when it does, it is a blessing. As Todd Cendrosky, the stepfather, described it to reporters, "He came and grabbed my hand, and said, You worked as hard as I have. You' ll help us walk our daughter down the aisle.' I got weak in the knees and lost it. Nothing better in my life. The most impactful moment in my life." "Our daughter." No one ever said divorce was good for children, although sometimes it is the best option available. But as these two men showed, divorce does not have to destroy a family. It takes a big man to share his daughter's arm on that special day, and a big man to raise a stepdaughter with love and attention. Congratulations to the brideand her fathers. God bless.

YOUR VIEWS Volunteer firefighters needed To the Editor: The Hekeke Fire (Tuolumne County3 homes), Oak (TC- 1 home), the Butte (Amador and Calaveras County- 2 deaths, 500 homes), the Valley Fire (Lake and Napa Counties- 4 deaths, 2000 homes), and fires yesterday in Mono Vista and Chinese Camp, should remind us of the continuing risk of disastrous fires every summer, and especially in a drought year. Each homeowner needs to prepare defen-
siblespace, plan for evacuation and contribute to local fire protection. The relatively quick containment of the Oak Fire is a credit to locally based firefighters. But other factors also contributed: the fire soon ran out of uphill slope;a shaded fuelbreak was in place on the ridge; the outdoor learning center and camp maintained defensible space; they also planned for evacuation and maintained a second escape route; no local fires competed for r esources;

thirds majority of 27 votes was needed, and all 14 Republicans voting went in PG&E's favor, so the big utility won out. The no-deduction bill's sponsor, Democratic Sen. Jerry Hill of San Mateo, called the vote a demonstration "of political influence by a major utility which spends a lot of money...on campaigns and lobbying." Almost simultaneously came PG&E's latest filing with the utilities commission, an application for a $2.7 billion rate increaseoverthree years.Ifthe decades-old dance pattern of the PUC and the utility ensues, PG&E will end up getting about $2 billion, and the PUC will brag about saving consumers $700 million — when the company hasn't shown it deserves any new profit at all. Worse, any big rate increase would essentially pay PG&E back in less than a year for the approximately $640 million in San Bruno fines it will actually pay. The net result will be that PG&E comes out ahead, just as Edison and SDG&E figure to come out ahead in their questionable San Onofre settlement with the PUC, one the commission so far shows no sign of rescinding despite the questionable legality of how it was reached. All of which would demonstrate there' s been no real change at the PUC, despite talk from the commission's new president, Michael Picker, who has said he means to make his agency more consumer-oriented

W ASHINGTON — The Education Department says there's been another drop in the percentage of people who are defaulting on their student loans in the first years of repayment. More than 5.1 million borrowers began paying back their loans in the 2012 budget year, and about 611,000 defaulted— about 11.8 percent. The rate was 13.7 percent in 2011 and 14.7 percent for 2010. ''We' re seeing real progress," Education Secretary
Arne Duncan said Wednesday in a phone call with reporters. The drop was seen across all sectors of higher education — public, private and forprofit institutions.

ov'ts Ut ownavoi e ornow WASHINGTON (AP) — Just hours before a midnight deadline, a bitterly divided Congress approved a stopgap spending bill Wednesday to keep the federal government open — but with no assurance there won't be yet another
shutdown showdown in December. Democrats helped beleaguered House Republican leaders pass the measure by 277-151— a lopsided voteshrouding deep disagreements within the GOPafter the Senate approved it by a 78-20 tally earlier in the day. The votes sent the bill to President Barack Obama for his signature, but not without White House carping. "The American people deserve far better than last-minute, short-term legislating," said spokesman Josh Earnest in pressingfor a broader,longer-lasting budget deal. Approval of such stopgap measures used to be routine, but debate this year exposed acrimonious divisions between pragmatic Republicans such as House Speaker John Boehner and more junior lawmakers in the party's tea party wing who are less inclined to compromise. The tea partyers had demanded that
the must-pass measure be used to pun-
ish Planned Parenthood, stripping it of federalmoney because ofitspractice of supplying tissue from aborted fetuses for scientific research. House Republicans opposed the measure by a clear margin, but Democratic support was unanimous. The legislation finances the government through Dec. 11, providing 10 weeks to negotiate a more wide-ranging budget deal that would carry past the 2016 presidential election. But the talks promise to be difficult, and success is not assured. Boehner is resigning from Congress at the end of October, a decision he announced last week after informing Republicans he would not risk a government shutdown over Planned Parenthood. A similar fight over implementing Obama's health care law sparked a 16-day shutdown two years ago that Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and other top Republicans did not want to repeat in election season. McConnell is seeking to protect embattled incumbents in Demo-
cratic-leaning states such as Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, while some GOP conservativesaremore apttousethebattle to appealto the party's core voters on the right. "Today was awin for the Washington cartel, and another setback for the American people," said Rep. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who is using combat with Washington GOP leaders to help define his presidential campaign. "Republican leadershipchose to abandon its constitutional power of the purse and to fund 100 percentofPresident Obama's failed agenda." Support from Democrats also helped power the measure through the Senate, all of the opposition coming from conservative Republicans. Longtime lawmakers bemoaned the chronic dysfunction on Capitol Hill and the collapse of the annual appropriations processthat issupposed to be wrapped up by now. Democrats demanding a new budgetdeal have blocked work in the Senate, while a fight over the Confederate flag halted work in the House with only six of the 12 annual spending bills having passed.
Palestinian Amnesty program offered on
flag raised traffic debt for poor residents for first time at UN
UNITED NA T I ONS (AP) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas raised the Palestinian flag at the United Nations for the first time on Wednesday with a promise that it will be raised soon in Jerusalem,"the capital of our Palestinian state." More than 300 ministers, diplomats and wellwishers who crowded into the rose garden at U.N. headquarters where a temporary flagpole had been erected forthe ceremony
applauded his words. Abbas told the crowd it was an historic moment on the Palestinian road to independence. Palestine was designated as a nonmember observer state at
the United Nations in ¹ vember 2012 and Palestinian statehood also has been recognized by many countries across Asia, Africa
and Latin America. As the black, white, green and red flag went up the flagpole, cheers and shouts of "Peace! Peace! Palestine!" erupted. The Palestinians campaigned for a General Assembly resolution that was overwhelmingly approved on Sept. 10 allowing UN. observerstates to fly their flags alongside those of the 193 U.N. member states. The Holy See and Palestine and are the only two non-member U.N. observer states. In contrast to the Palestinians, the Holy See flag was raised outside U.N. headquarters alongside flags of the 193 U.N.
S ACRAMENTO ( A P ) — California is instituting an amnesty program for residents who can't afford to pay off spiraling traffic fines and court fees that have led to millions of driver's licenses being suspended. The program p u shed by Gov. Jerry Brown and adopted as part of his annual budget goes into effect Thursday and runs through March 31, 2017. Ahead ofthe program, the Democratic governor announced Wednesday signing a bill by state Sen. Bob Hertzberg, D-Los Angeles, that allows people to schedule a court appearance evenifthey haven't paid fines and traffic penalties. Under t h e a m n esty plan, drivers with lesser infractions would pay either 50 or 80 percent of what they owe, depending on income. Certain drivers would also be able to apply for installment payments for outstanding tickets. Drunken-driving and reckless-driving violations are not eligible. Civil assessment fees would be waived for some tickets. Residents who have had their licenses revoked would be able to apply to have them reinstated.
Only violations due to be paid before Jan. 1, 2013, are eligible for discounts. Since 2006, the state has suspended 4.8 million driver's licenses after motoristsfailed to pay or appear in court, the Department of M otor Vehicles said earlier this year. Of those, only about 83,000 licenses were reinstated.
When he announced the program in May, Brown called the traffic court system a "hellhole of desperation" for the poor. T he push b y B r o w n h ighlighted conc e r n a mong lawmakers a n d court administrators that California's justice system
is profiting off minorities and low-income residents. Trafficfi nes have been skyrocketing in the state, and courts have grown relianton fees as a result of budget cuts during the recession. Twenty years ago, the fine for running a red light was $103. Today, it costs as much as $490 as the state has established add-on fees to support everything from c o ur t
c o n s t ruction
to emergency medical air transportation. The cost can jump to over $800 once a person failsto pay or misses a traffic court appearance.

One in 10 pregnant women in the U.S. still consume alcohol, a new study found.
RISKS Continued from Page Al not the advice that all the medical organizations are standing by," Ortiz said. 'We don't have any proof that such and such amount is totally safe." American medical societies including the Centers for Disease Control are saying there is no known safe alcohol use during pregnancy, Ortiz said. There is also no known safe time during pregnancy for drinking, Ortiz said.
"We know that alcohol use during pregnancy can cause birth defects and developmental disabilities in babies, as well as an increased risk of other pregnancy problems such as miscarriage, stillbirth and prematurity," said Coleen Boyle, Ph.D., director of CDC's National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities. "This is an important reminder that women should not drink any alcohol while pregnant. It's just not worth the risk." Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) are a group of conditions that can happen in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. FASDs are completely preventable: If a woman does not drink alcohol during pregnancy, her child has zero risk of having FASD complications. The study used data from CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a state-based, landline and cell phone survey of the U.S. population. To estimate the prevalenceofalcohol use and binge drinking, researchers used 2011-13 BRFSS data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia for women ages 18 to 44. In pregnant women, alcohol use was highest among: • Those age 35 to 44 (18.6 percent); collegegraduates (13 percent);and unmarried women (12.9 percent). For comparison, 1 in 2 (53.6 percent) non-pregnant women in the U nitedStates ages 18 to 44 reports drinking alcohol in the past 30 days, and 18.2 percent of non-preg-

nant women report binge drinking. Among women who reported binge drinking in the past 30 days, pregnant women reported a significantly higher frequency of binge drinking than non-pregnant women (4.6 and 3.1 episodes respectively). The prevalence of any alcohol use and bingedrinking among pregnant and non-pregnant women is slightly higherthan estimates reported for 2006-10. However, this is likely due to methodological changes to the BRFSS in 2011, such as the addition ofcellphone surveys,ratherthan actual shifts in the prevalence of alcohol use, the CDC said. Alcohol can cause changes to the way a baby's skull and face develop, their head may be smaller than average, and they could be shorter and weigh less, Ortiz said. The neurological effects can be seriousand include hyperactive behavior, memory and attention difficulties, speech delays, and hearing and vision problems, Ortiz said.

Calaveras County landfill is not accepting burned debris, hazardous materials or ash from the blaze. The Calaveras County Environmental Management Agency is initiating efforts with the CalRecycle-Calaveras County Butte Fire Debris Removal Project. They are sending in teams from the Department of Toxic Substances Control to remove household hazardous waste. Teams will also do asbestos assessment and sampling from all residential properties in areas affected by the Butte Fire. Work was expected to progress from the west section of Jesus Maria Road to the south section of Mountain Ranch Road. A primary focus is removing household hazardous wastes like paints, batteries, electronic wastes and propane tanks under 30 gallons. When that preliminary work is done, more teams will start removing debris and ash from sites where owners have signed up with the CalRecycle-Calaveras County Butte Fire Debris Removal Project. For more information, or if you do not want Department of Toxic Substances Control workers on your

'The firefighters forcibly evacuated me, but they didn't do anything to save the house. We had some brush clearance. I don't know if it was a miracle or an act of nature.

People who lost their home in the Old Gulch Fire gave us the trailer. Things could be better, but we' re doing the next best thing." The house and all its contents were just stuff, Terry Stiner said.

cancer patients need chemotherapy

"Patients love theidea f oa test...I' vehad chemotherapy.It' snot pretty."
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE The Associated Press
Many women with early-stage breast cancer can skip chemotherapy without hurting their odds of beating the disease — good news from a major study that shows the valueofagene-activity testtogauge each patient's risk. The test accurately identified a group of women whose cancers are so likely to respond to hormoneblocking drugs that adding chemo would do little if any good while exposing them to side effects and other health risks. In the study, women who skipped chemo based on the test had less than a 1 percent chance of cancer recurring far away, such as the liver or lungs, within the next five years.
"You can't do better than that," said the study leader, Dr. Joseph Sparano of Montefiore Medical Center in New York. An independent expert, Dr. Clifford Hudis of New York's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, agreed. "There is really no chance that chemotherapy could make t h at number better," he said. Using the gene test "lets us focus our chemotherapy more on the higher risk patients who do benefit" and spare others the ordeal. The study was sponsored by the National Cancer Institute. Results

the tumor's growth is fueled by estrogen or progesterone; and not the type that the drug Herceptin targets. Each year, more than 100,000 women in the United States alone are diagnosed with this. The usual treatment is surgery followed by years of a hormoneblocking drug. But many women also areurged to have chemo, to help kill any stray cancer cells that may have spread beyond the breast and could seed a new cancer later. Doctors know that most of these women don't need chemo but there are no great ways to tell who can safely skip it. A California company, Genomic Health Inc., has sold a test called Oncotype DX since 2004 to help gauge this risk. The test measures the activity of genes that control cell growth, and others that indicate a likely response to hormone therapy
Of the 10,253 women in the study, 16 percent were classified as low risk, 67 percent as intermediate and 17 percent as high risk for recurrence by the test. The high-risk group was given chemotherapy and hormone-blocking drugs. Women in the middle group were randomly assigned to get hormone therapy alone or to add chemo. Results on these groups are not yet ready — the study is continuing. But independent monitors recommended the results on the low-risk group be released, because it was clear that adding chemo would not improve their fate. After five years, about 99 percent had not relapsed, and 98 percent were alive. About 94 percent were free of any invasive cancer, including new cancers at other sites or in the oppositebreast. "These patients who had low risk
"I was convinced that there was no indication for chemotherapy. I was thrilled not to have to have it," and has been fine since then, she said.
Mary Lou Smith, a breast cancer survivor and advocate who helped design the trial for ECOG, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, which ran it, said she thought women "would be thrilled" to skip chemo. "Patientslove the idea ofa test"to help reduce uncertainty about treatment, she said. "I' ve had chemotherapy. It's not pretty." The test costs $4,175, which Medicare and many insurers cover. Others besides Oncotype DX also are on the market, and Hudis said he hopes the new study will encourage more, to compete on price and accuracy. "The future is bright" for gene teststo more precisely guide treatment, he said.
Registration will begin at 7 a.m. at the Tuolumne Veterans Memorial Hall. A 10K will begin at 8 a.m., and a one-mile fun-run will begin at 8:30 a.m. An awards ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. The 10K costs $39 per person, and the one-mile fun run costs$25, if registration is done today.

Recently, researchers at the University of Kansas learned a little something extra while searching for a link between humor and intelligence. (They never did find thatl) Seems that if you meet a person you find romantically appealing and try to break the ice with humor, you' re set up for a fast thumbs-up or thumbs-down. (The study looked at guys using that approach, but we say man, woman, gay, straight, it matters not.) You see, if the other person laughs at what you' ve said, chances are very good that he or she is interested in getting to know you better. The real deal-sealer? Ifthe two ofyou end up laughing together. What's the magic in mirth? The theory is that laughter releasesfeel-good neurotransmitters such as endorphins, reduces stress, benefits the cardiovascular system Oisten to your heart beating just a touchfaster)and is a source of positive energy. So, if you' re going solo and want some laugh-time benefits, we suggest you consider Laughter Yoga! That's right: pose,stretch, giggle,repeat! And if you and a potential love interest have a howling good time at laughing yoga class together, well, we think it might be time to start measuring for new curtains!

241 Hospital Road Tentative Parcel Map, General Plan Text Amendment in the MDRMedium Density Residential District and the HDR- High Density Residential District, and a rezone of the property from CG, General Commercial to R-3, Multi-Family Residential and R-1, Single Family Residential
The applicant is requesting to split the parcel located at 241 Hospital Road into two separate parcels. Currently the property is developed with a single family residential structure on one part of the parcel and a multi-family structure on another part of the parcel. The site is designated as High Density Residential (HDR) on the City' s GeneralPlan Land Use Map and is zoned General Commercial (CG). The proposed project is located on Assessor Parcel Number: 056-150-23. The General Plan Text Amendment would remove the minimum parcel size in the MDR- Medium Density and HDR-High Density Residential District, but would not alter the density of the district. The result parcels are proposed to be rezoned to R-3, Multi-Family Residential and R-1, Single-Family Residential. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State and City Guidelines for implementation of CEQA which states that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that the Planning Commission will hold public hearings on these items at the City Council Chambers located at 94 North Washington Street, Sonora, CA on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 at 5:30 pm or as near as possible thereafter, at which time and place interested persons may appear and be heard thereon.
At the above time and place, all persons interested in the above, either for or against, will be given the opportunity to be heard. The project staff reports and all supporting documents are available for review at the City of Sonora Community Development Department, 94 North Washington Street, Sonora CA 95370, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:OOPM. Questions regarding the project may be directed to Community Development Director Rachelle Kellogg at the Community Development Department, (209) 532-3508, or to Planner Paula Daneluk, at (916) 206-1871. Pursuant to State law, challenges in court to actions on the above proposal may be limited to issues raised at public hearings or meetings conducted on the matter, or in correspondence submitted at, or prior to, the hearing or meeting. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, if you need special assistance to participate in this meeting, please contact the Community Development Department at (209) 532-3508. Notification of at least 48 hours prior to the meeting will enable the City to make reasonable arrangements to ensure accessibility to this meeting (28CFR35.102-35.104ADA Title II). Materials related to an item submitted after distribution are available for public inspection in the Community Development Department.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company,either ofwhich may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The saledate shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

On this date In 1932, Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees made his supposed called shot, hitting a home run against Chicago's Charlie Root in the fifth inning of Game 3 of the World Series, won by the New York Yankees 7-5 at Wrigley Field. In 1955, the situation comedy "The Honeymooners," starring Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph, premiered on CBS-TV. In 1957, the motto "In God We Trust" began appearing on U.S. paper currency. In 1961, Roger Maris of the New York Yankees hit his 61st home run during a 162-game season, compared to Babe Ruth's 60 home runs during a 154-game season. (Tracy Stallard of the Boston Red Sox gave up the roundtripper; the Yankees won 1-0.) In 1964, the Free Speech Movement began at the University of California, Berkeley.

Kaepernick won't alter his approach, either, aside from finding ways to adjust on the fly when necessary. cWe goout,werun ourplays.We have play designs for a reason. It's not going outside our offensive scheme to try to make a play," he said. Kaepernick watched the game film Sunday and Monday, and he now gets a chance against unbeaten Green Bay (3-0) at home Sunday knowing that two of his best performances have come against the Packers. He has taken off out of the read option to burn the Packers and passed his way to wins in the rivalry, too. Even beaten them in a deep freeze. Yes,Green Bay has seen way too much of No. 7 in recent years. "He's a dynamic player," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "Obviously we' ve had some issues with him in the past."

It was October2013, after a race at Fontana.When he walked into the hospital room, he found Justin Wilson lying in bed, awake and alert with a bunch of tubes attached to his body. As the CEO of IndyCar's parent company talks about it now, a little more than a month after Wilson died from a head injury sustained in another racing accident, there's a pause to gather his thoughts and remind everyone
that IndyCar's first mission is to make the high-risk sport of openwheel racing safer. "There's been a lot of sadness," Miles said Tuesday aRer nearly 600 people gathered to give Wilson one final salute at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "On safety, I think the drivers know the work is ongoing. It's our highest priority." The recent series of wrecks and scary moments has left series officials with no choice. In August, Wilson was fatally injured at Pocono aRer being hit by apieceofdebris from another
car. Four years ago, two-time Indianapolis 500 champ Dan Wheldon was killed during a race in Las Vegas after his car went airborne and hit a support pole along the catch-fence. In 2013, a horrific crash in Houston left four-time IndyCar champ andthree-time 500 winner Dario Franchitti with such a severe concussion he was forced to retire. Two weeks later, Wilson broke hispelvis and bruised a lung when he got T-boned by another car — an image Miles has neverallowed to fade away. See INDYCAR / Page C3

"That all better be in the right place or one game leads into two games, leads into three games, leads into four games." As far as Kaepernick being angry, frustrated, or whatever other emotion might come to mind, he doesn't have time to dwell on any failures — however magnified the mistakes might be. "I'm not too big on feelings. Feelings aren't going to help me win a game," Kaepernick said Wednesday. "I'm focused on doing what I can to help this team win." He's done that before against Green Bay. In a sensational playoff debut i n J a n uary 2013, Kaepernick used his speedylegs to run for a quarterback playoffrecord 181 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Realit ycheckforthe Ducksas they prepare for Colorado Its post-Utah reality set in, Oregon is moving on with some uncertainties. Now unranked for the first time since 2009, Oregon heads into this weekend's game atColorado looking foranswers to the many questions that the 62-20 loss to the Utes brought forward. Oregon had never before allowed 62 points by an opponent at Autzen. The Ducks' overall defense is ranked 110th among FBS-level teams, with opponents averaging 474.8 yards a game. Oregon's opponents are averaging 40.8 points through the first four games, and the Ducks have allowed 301.5 passing yards per game. Colorado (3-1) heads into Pac-12 play riding its first t h ree-game winning streak in seven seasons.
With two losses, Oregon's chances of returning to college football's playoffs look dim. According to research done by STATS, a team from a Power Five or BC S automatic-qualifying conference has lost at home by 40 or more points 50 timessince 2005. But only three teams from a Power Five or BCS AQ conference that have had a 40-plus-point home loss have managed to win at least eight games during that season.

Kelly said at his weekly news conference Tuesday that what he is most confi-
dent about is team chemistry. "It's a close team. They' ll play hard for each other. There's no quit i n t h em. They' ll overcome adversity," he said. The Irish already have overcome adversity with six
players out with season-ending injuries, including quarterback Malik Zaire and running back Tarean Folston. Kizer at quarterback and C.J. Prosise at running back have done well replacing them. Prosise has rushed for 600 yards — the most ever by an Irish back in the first four games of a season. But both lack experience at their positions. "We' re still learning about the players that have had to come in and step in after these injuries," Kelly said. Injuries f inally c aught up with the Irish last season after a 6-0 start and a near-upset at No. 2 Florida State. Notre Dame lost five of itslast six regular-season games. But the Irish know they can run the ball, ranking 12th in the nation at 285 yards a game. They are 15th in total offense, averaging 531 yards, which is on pace to break the school record
of 510.5yards a game setin 1970. They know they have an elite receiver in Will Fuller, ranking third in the nation with six touchdown catches, eighth with 454 receiving yards and 11th in receiving yards per game at 114. What they don't k now is how they will do on the road. The Irish had lost five straight road games until Kizer threw a 39-yard TD pass to Fuller with 12 seconds le to give Notre Dame a 34-27 victory at Virginia three weeks ago.

Refs inmyhyaenlerwil make nllings on rwi6)ls NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA says current referees will staff its replay center thisseason and be able to make decisions in certain situations. All replay reviews will still be triggered by the three reviews on the court.
However, they will no longer make all the calls after the reviews, as some will now be done in the Secaucus, New Jersey facility thatopened lastseason. Those will include determinations such as whether a shot was a 2- or 3-pointer, or whether it beat the shot clock or end of quarter buzzer. Out of bounds calls and goaltending rulings also will be handled by the replay center. T he NBA s ays t h e modifications were unanimously approved by owners Wednesday. The league believes the changes can speed up games. Rulings on fiagrant and clear-path fouls, and player altercations will continue to be made by the three game officials.

Raiders ride triplets to early season success ALAMEDA (AP) — The Oakland Raiders have spent most of the past decade searching for big-play options at quarterback, running back and receiver. Three weeks into this season,itlooks asifthey have finally found them in Derek Carr, Latavius Murray and Amari Cooper. The three are home-grown emerging stars who have quickly gone from unproven draft picks to possible foundation pieces for the rebuilding franchise. With Carr and Cooper developing into a dynamic passing duo and Murray's gamebreaking speed as a runner, the Raiders (2-1) are off to theirbeststartin fouryears. "It's an exciting thing," Carr
said Wednesday. 'We set a standard of what we want to be, and we' re not even close yet. We have so much more to do, but we have
the blueprint laid out for us. We' ve seen it work these last two weeks. We just have to continue." After a lopsided lossto open the season, the Raiders gave notice that they could be in for aturnaround thisseason when Carr engineered a late touchdown drive to upset Baltimore at home in Week 2. A deep touchdown pass to Cooperstarted the offensive breakthroughthat game and it just continued last week against Cleveland. Carr threw for 314 yards for his second straight 300-yard
passing game, Cooper had 134 yards receiving and Murray ran for 139 yards as Oakland won back-to-back games for the first time in three years. It was the most combined
yards passing, rushing and receivingby a trio ofplayers25 and younger in NFL history. The Raiders became just the 11th team to have players so young reach 300 yards passing, 100 yards receiving and 100 yards rushing in a single game,according to FootballPerspective.corn. "That little stat we had was prettycool, " Murray said. "I think there's so much room for improvement. Needless to sayit' sexciting going forward because I think we' re just scratchingthesurface."
Carr has built on an upand-down rookie season to play his best football yet the past two weeks. Murray, after sitting out the first year and a half of his career, is showing thathislate-season spark last season was no fiuke. For Cooper, success has come more quickly. He joined DeSean Jackson as the only receiversto top 100 yards in

T hat k n o wledge h a s helped Carr become the least frequently sacked quarterback in the NFL this season with his one sack coming on a scramble when
he stepped out of bounds for no gain. "You come in, you' re not sure of what you' re getting." Del Rio said. 'You hear good things, but to see him approach it that way, I think that's good for us, because having been around some real good ones, being around Peyton (Manning) the last three years in Denver, you
see the guys that really attack it and how they approach it and the work ethic that it takes and the commitment that it takes."
Colts confident Luck will play vs. Jags dispite sore shoulder INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — T he beating Andrew Luck has taken this season on the field is taking a toll. Coach Chuck Pagano decided to give Luck most of Wednesday's practice ofF so he could rest his sore throwing shoulder. Pagano said it was only a precaution and that he expects Luck to play Sunday against Jacksonville. 'Tm not a witch doctor, I don't have a crystal ball. I just listen to the trainers and the doctors, but I wouldn' t betagainst12,ever,"Pagano said,referring to Luck's jersey number. Just seeing Luck out of action was odd. Since the Colts drafted him with the top overall pick in 2012, Luck has been one of the league's most durable players. He has started all 57 games, including the playoffs,
and hasn't showed up on an injury report since late in his rookie season when he was listed with a knee injury. He doesn't even like taking playsoffin practice. Luck insists this injury is no big deal. 'There's always bumps and bruises that show up in high school, college and the NFL You deal with stuff you manage it," Luck said. "It' s
Luck, who was hit more than any quarterback in the league in 2013 and 2014, has already been sacked five times this season and taken 21 additional hits, according to STATS. The only quarterbacks hit as frequently as Luck are Philip Rivers (24), Ryan Tannehill (22) and Russell Wilson (21).

utes to play, Luck directed a 98yard touchdown drivethat may have saved their season. Less than a minute later, he threw the goahead TD pass to Donte Moncrief. Indy scored once more time and eventually held on for a 35-33 victory.
He may have done all that with the injury. "I'm not going to talk about when it happened," Luck said, confirming only that he was hurt during the Titans game. The first indication of a potential injury came when backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck tapped Luck aRer one of his two touchdown
passes, and Luck appeared to wince in pain. Following the game, Luck looked and sounded uncharacteristically drained. As speculation grew Monday about a possible rib injury, Luck downplayed the rumors and told reporters he didn't expect to be on this week's injury report. On Tuesday, the Colts made a surprise move by adding quarterback Alex Tanney to the practice squad. On Wednesday, Hasselbeck said he did most of the throwing while Luck did some work with the startersand tried to let his sore arm heal. "It's probably not the first time they' ve tried to do it,"H asselbeck said when asked about giving Luck some rest. "It'sprobably the first time he gave in."

The Chase playoff field will be trimmed from 16 to 12 drivers based onthe outcome of Sunday's AAA 400. There could
