A small squad was placing a large, heavy-duty tarp over a gaping hole on the roof of a building so badly beaten by time that it looked like it had been hit by a tornado.

As the thick sheet stretched over the structure — the 163-year-old Romaggi Adobe just outside of Angels Camp — 81-year-old Adrian Nestor winced.

It was the third time since 2006 the chairman of the Romaggi Adobe Association has placedatarp overthehistoric home of James Romaggi, an Italian immigrant who came to the states during the 1850s.

Clinton camp alleges Sanders stole voter info WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic race for president unexpectedly exploded with rancor Friday as Hillary Clinton's campaign accused rival Bernie Sanders of stealing millions of dollars worth of information about potential voters.

Sanders' team, meanwhile, accused the Democratic Party of holding his White House bid hostage by temporarily barring it from accessing its own voter data. His campaign filed a lawsuit to get it back and aggressively tried to turn the allegations into a political advantage.

"This information is really key to our campaign and our strategy," said Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook. 'We are particularly disturbed right now that they are using the factthat they stole data as a reason to raise money for their campaign."

The reaction to the data breach, the depth of which was debated by all involved, tore open an ugly fault line between two camps that had so far engaged in a relatively civil White House

People with the Tuolumne County solid waste division are urging residents to reduce holiday trash and garbage by reusing and recycling.

Statewide, people throw away 25 percent more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day than the entirerest of the year,according

to the California Department of Resources Recovery and Recycling.

In addition, an estimated 100 million plastic water bottles will end up in California's landfills this holiday season, CalRecycle people say. Across

the United States, holiday waste creates 1 million extra tons per week from late ¹ vember to early January.

Reusable shopping bags cut down on waste throughout the holiday season, according to HolidayRecyciing.corn. The same bag works equally well at all stores.

Residents can help reduce the holiday crush on local landfills by reusing holiday gift wrapping materials and by recycling them. Greeting cards, junk mail, gift boxes, magazines and catalogs are all OK for recycling. Recycling 100 million plastic water bottles can produce enough material to make 48,000 sweaters or

Even so, many Americans still need to be remind-

ed that Muslims, rather than our enemies, are our

&iends, neighbors,colleagues,scholars,leaders,doctors, mechanics. They' re our fellow Americans. Even so, we continue to struggle even with the terminology we use to distinguish between everyday Muslims and radicalized terrorists.

This is particularly distressing given that language and communication are so crucial to winning what is in the long term an ideological war. None too soon, we' re beginning to hear reasonable voices rise above the din of nationalistic jargon from some of our lesser, if glaring, lights.

One such voice belongs to South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. In his finest debate hour, Graham issued a passionate apology to Muslims for Donald Trump, who has said among other things that we need a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. "Donald Trump has done the one single thing you cannot do — declare war on Islam itself ...," Graham said. "To all of our Muslim friends throughout the world, like the King of Jordan and the President of Egypt, I am sorry. He does not represent us."

Graham then thanked Muslim Americans for

Marco Rubio is the future of the GOP

A full-page headline on the Washington Blade, a gay newspaper, similarly caught my eye recently: "To All Muslims: Trump Does Not Speak For Us." These sentiments, still relatively expressed, are crucial not only to civility but also to national security. Anti-Muslim rhetoric merely buoys the terrorist narrative that the U.S. is the enemy of Islam. Thus, demonizing or marginalizing Muslims leads not to greatersafety but to greater numbers of recruits willing to self-detonate in the service of something no sane person recognizes.

It is also rude and un-American.

Marco Rubio may be the most gifted natural politician to come out of the GOP since Ronald Reagan. But the GOP base seems in no mood to rally around a principled conservative who happens also to be an optimist. That may change, but it hasn't yet. The problem is, Rubio is competing in a primary with two demagogues willing to say pretty much anything to win; several other candidates long on experience but with little personal appeal; and one neurosurgeon who should stick to medicine.

Donald Trump tapped into a deep well of anger in the Republican grassroots, driven by fear and insecurity. Trump tossed red meat to the angriest among them, raising the specter of Mexicans crossingthe border to stealjobs and rape

It's funny, in an unfunny way. We seem to have no

women, of Chinese cheating us on trade,

trouble demanding that moderate Muslims condemn the radicals, but we' re less than impressive when it comes to moderate Americans taking a stand against our own extremists. It isn't really as painful as it looks and should be viewed as an act of patriotism, something the individual citizen can do as part of the nation's war effort.

Our failure to communicate with each other can only lead to the sort of frenzied embrace of isolationism and marginalization we' ve witnessed of late. And though interfaith ministries often meet for these purposes, their message doesn't reach deeply enough into the secular community to have much effect.

Thus, I had hoped the president might call on Americans to do their part and issue a call to specific action. As I imagined it, he would have said something like: "I'm calling on all America's mayors, of towns and cities large and small, to join the war on terror by hosting a public forum in your community bringing Muslims and non-Muslims together for con-

of Muslims all wishing we were dead and many willing to kill us if allowed in.

Now Ted Cruz is trying to dip into that same well, with twice the intellect but half the charm of Donald Trump. Cruz would like the nativist wing of the party to feel he's no different from Trump on immigration — and that he's always been there with them.

Cruz no doubt hopes his listeners won' t check out statements he made in 2013,

He told NPR in June 2013, "11 million who are here illegally would be granted legal status once the border was secured — not before — butafter the border was secured, they would be granted legal status. And indeed, they would be eligible for permanent legal residency."

Rubio still personally supports allowing those who make it through any future legalization hurdles (fines, taxes and background checks) to be eligible to become citizens. Agree or disagree with him about the policy, Rubio showed real character by not obfuscating or changing his position in Tuesdaynight'sdebatetocurry favor.Some supporters, however, worry that his answer may cost him the nomination. I hope notless because of what it would do to Rubio's future than what it means for the future of the Republican Party.

I became a Republican 35 years ago because of Ronald Reagan. I didn't agree with him on everything, but he offered me a vision of America that was hopeful and uplifting. When he encountered those who disagreed on policy, he attempted to persuade them. He didn't compromise his principles, but made the case for why those principles mattered. As a former Democrat, I found myself convinced, as did millions of others.

If the Republican Party ever hopes to become the majority party in this country again, it can only do so with leaders that reach out to, not push away, those who don't yet agree with us, and persuade them using the best arguments. Ronald Reagan built a Republican majority by drawing people in. Marco Rubio could do it, tooif enough primary voters can tune out the demagogue s.

He reiterated this position in an interview with the Texas Tribune in 2013, saying: "The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight." Cruz opposed a path to citizenship, a position remarkably close to Jeb Bush's 2013 in a book Bush co-authored, "Immigration Wars: Forging an American Solution." Cruz also told a group of Princeton students that year, "I want to see common sense immigration reform pass.... I believe that if the amendments I introduced were adopted, the bill would pass. My effort in introducing them was to find a solution that reflected common groundand fi xed the problem."

Cruz has changed his position since then — which happens. People change their minds. But why lie about it?

Unlike Cruz, Marco Rubio admits he' s shifted his position on immigration reform since 2013. Rubio says the framework of the 2013 legislation lacked enough teeth.

Now he wants some proof that the border has been secured before he would allow legalization.

Secondly, but most importantly, Rubio wants to fix our broken legal immigration system, which is the only real solution to stemming illegal immigration. The reason that the Reagan amnesty didn't work was Linda Chavez is an author, columnist becausethe 1986 law provided no way for and news analyst.She waa a high-ranking enough skilled workers — without whom official for both the Reagan and G.H.W. our economy cannot grow and prosperBush administrations.

"The operating principle should be that communication is key to understanding and that understanding iscentral to peaceful coexistence and a better fu-

ture. The objective is to allow people to speak &eely (in an orderly fashion) about their thoughts, fears, hopes and ideas."

Something like that.

There arealready several models available for replication. The "Welcome Table" created by the University of Mississippi's William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation has been extremely successful in healing the wounds of the civil rights era. If blacks and whites can pull this off in places like South Carolina and Mississippi, then surely Muslims, Christians, blacks, whites, Hispanics and Asians can do it in Detroit or Los Angeles.

The VillageSquare, begun several years ago in Tallahassee, Florida, and now in a few other cities, brings citizens together to a bipartisan, formal debate on issues crucial to the community. The square alsoholds "speed-dating" occasions to connect citizens and elected leaders.

These approaches may seem like tiny pebbles tossedinto a sea of distrust and fear,but they've proved effective often enough that they' re worth a try.Even pebbles cause ripples,and words have a way of spreading.

The rooftop tarp is just a temporary fix, said Nestor, who in 2004 became the primary owner of the building and 0.89 acres.

He formed a nonprofit organization in 2006 and hopes to completely restore and renovate the building near the Calaveras County Fairgrounds on Highway 49.

The project isestimated to cost$800,000.

Nestor said he would love to have the full amount at once, but believes he can organize and execute the restoration efFort, with the San Francisco-based Lewis Restoration and Consulting firm, on a step-by-step basis.

"Say if, for instance,we got $100,000 tomorrow, we could have him come up and maybe do one wall," Nestor said. "Then, $200,000 could do the second wall; $800,000 could do the third wall. Then $400,000 could do the fourth wall."

As of Friday afternoon, Nestor said he has about $120,000. Recently, he asked Lewis Restoration and Consulting to visit and estimate the amount of work that can be done, but he has not been able to speak with them.

"I think he's like any other contractor," Nestor said. "He wants to know I have the whole ball of wax because his men are going to have to come up from San Francisco. He' s going to have to put them up in a hotel and they' ll probably have to work here for two weeks."

Thus far, Nestor has spent $120,000 on the project. He said most of the money has gone toward office supplies, a $1 million liability insurance policy on the structure and the people that work on it, fencing, a driveway and a cultural resource survey.

Nestorsaid historians or archaeologists have searched the site for relics that may have value elsewhere.

"The best thing about it is the people with Calaveras Lumber and the people that did the (cultural resource study), they all gave me, what they call, 'In kind,' " Nestor said.

"Ifthe true cost was going to be $10,000, they would only charge me $5,000. It helps

A $400,000-plus investment to install a snowmaking system at Leland High Sierra Snow Playnear Strawberry isexpected topay off bi for the business this winter, as well as many others along the Highway 108 corridor in Tuolumne County.

Owner Lance Vetesy worked for the past four years on obtaining the necessary permits and water rights to install the machines, which should allow him to stay open consistently throughout the winter regardless of how much snow falls naturally this season. sWe're really looking forward to an exciting winter holiday this year after the past four dismal winters," said Vetesy, who has owned the business for 23 years.

November storms brought enough snow for Vetesy to open this year on the day aRer Thanksgiving.

Though the business has only been open on weekends until this week, Vetesy said he plans

"For a snow-play hill, you don't need to make all that much snow to make a big difference, because we have a pretty small footprint comparedto a large skiresort,"hesaid.

Billed as the largest sledding snow park in the Sierra Nevada, the business offers 15 acres of groomed snow for tubing, sledding and mini-snowmobile rides. A 4,000-squarefootlodge also provides a warm placeforpeople to take a break and grab a bite to eat.

Vetesy gave special thanks to Simunaci Construction in Sonora for installing the machines, and Tuolumne County officials for helping see the project through the approval process.

The ability to make snow at Leland has broader implicat ions for other businesses along Highway 108 that rely on snow-driven tourism during the winter. Tourism officials have described it as a "game changer" for the county.

Businesses such as Pinecrest Lake Resort have felt the impact from the loss of visitors, accordingtoHeidi Lupo, the resort's director of operations.

The hope is that Leland's ability to make snow will help the area remain a destination for visitors in the event of future bad winters, Lupo said.

Applegate's class instituted a "random acts of kindness calendar" this month.

Similar to an advent calendar, each day of December contains a small way for the students to give back. Student donations of canned food, towels and blankets for animal shelters, and other items are collec ted most days.

As th e c alendar year draws to a close, hopefully we can find time to reflect on things for which we can be grateful. Following is a short list of some of my "gardening gratitudes" for 2015: 1.

Janice and Bob Cantley, of Twain Harte (top), decorate their home every Christmas, lighting up their neighborhood with their extensive collection of lights and decorations (above).

Couple's decades-long hobby lights up Twain Harte

BY LYDIA BROWNING The Union Democrat

Robert "Spider" and Janice Cantley have been collecting and creating Christmas decorations formore than 50 years and love to decorate. Their Twain Harte home each year attracts hundreds of drive-by visitors.

The couplemoved toTuolumne County full time 11 years ago,

beut their love of Christmas and decorating began in the Bay Area, where they partnered with a local radio station to raise money for localcharities and cancer research.

Spider, who got his nickname from working in the Insulation business for many years and being able to wrap his long arms around bundles of pipes while others couldn' t, has collected Santa Claus figures all his adult life.

home and arechanged out from

year to year.

Some of the decorations, including their cabinet display full of Santa Clauses, stay up year round.

Outside of the Cantley home are strings of snowflake and icicle lights, red-and-green striped candy canes alongside potted flowers, large Christmas "presents," Mickey Mouses and snowmen sit propped on a large table out front, and the home's porch boasts a Christmas foxand large decorated tree.

The couple estimates they have about 400 Santa Claus figures in their indoor collection.

The couple waits until the day after Thanksgiving to decorate and usually leave it up until New Years.

Inside the Cantley living room, a skylight illuminates a large Christmas tree decorated with pink bows and pink-and-silver strands of garland. Inside the home there are atotaloffour Christmas trees decorated in lights.

That pesky Bermuda grass that insists on c r awling into my vegetable garden is easierto remove from damp soil. Shoots of miner's lettuce, Claytonia perfoliata, are coming up everywhere.

Hurray for winter salads!

2. Drip irrigation. Having a low-water-use source of irrigation on a timer allowed my vegetablegarden to flourish while I was gone from California for much of the spring and summer.

That same drip irrigation allowed the growth of giant zucchinis that added moisture and flavor to unconventional cornbread and cookierecipes.It also fueled the growth of tomato plants whose fr uits, h a r vested just beforefrost set in,are still ripening on the window sill. For this bountywhen I wasn't even around to providethat proverbial fertili zer of the "gardener's shadow" — I am extremely grateful!

3. Toyon, H eteromeles arbutifolia, my newest "favorite plant." Toyon is a California native plant known as Christmas berry and California holly — that grew so thickly on the hills of Southern California that it gave Hollywood its name.

More than 50,000 people would visit the neighborhood each year, and volunteers would hand out candy canes and accept donations to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), SAVE (Safe Alternatives to Violent Environ-

In Fremont, the couple each year teamed up with a popular radio station during the holidays and helped raise more than 20 million dollars for cancer research.

Now the couple mainly raises their money for charities through letter-writing campaigns and by keeping in touch with previous donors.

The couple donates about $300,000 a year doing so.

ily good, according to advocates of net neutrality, the concept that Internet access providers shouldn' t discriminate against some Web traffic in favor of others. They say innovation could be curtailed if smaller video providers couldn't afford topay for an exemption.

The exemptions come as mobile video booms. But video eatsup a lot ofdata.

On a smartphone, an hour or two of video consumes about 1 gigabyte.

Even home Internet providers are testing data caps. About 13 percent of Comcast's customers are in a market with caps, according to research firm MoffettNathanson.

Comcast exempts its own video, but not video from rivals like Netflix.

'obs© ower- Ius.corn or Fax: 209-532-0747 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

Palo Alto donkey, character model a true screen gem "He treats his public very well."

The Associated Press

Some celebrities are known to be completeasses.None of them, however, wears the label as well as Perry, a miniature donkey who resides in Palo Alto's Barron Park neighborhood.

Perry's claim to f ame?

He served asthe model for the happy-go-lucky Donkey - voiced by Eddie Murphy — who stole scenes and hearts in the wildly popular computer-animated "Shrek" films.

"You can look at t hose movies and really tell that it's him," says Don Anderson, one of the two dozen or so volunteers who tend to the animal. "They shortened his legsa bitand mixed traces of Eddie Murphy's face in with his, but he's still Perry."

Born in 1994 and as photogenic as ever, Perry — short for Pericles — lives with fellow donkey Miner Forty-Niner (known as Niner) behind Bol Park. They are the most recent in a long line of donkeys who have hung out here since the early 1930s, when theirturfwas part ofa pasture owned by the late StanPUBLIC NOTICE FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME STATEMENT TUOLUMNE COUNTY CLERK 2 S.

tures.

1. Ordinance No. 29 be amended as follows:

The tradition continues, thanks to the generosity of current landowner James Witt and the volunteers who oversee the feeding and welfare of the donkeys. Every Sunday, Perry and Niner are trotted out to meet visitors young and old. On occasion, they will make appearances at localgrade schools and kids' parties.

"It's hard to describe why it's a thing, but it is," Anderson says of the attachment he and others have to the donkeys. "It's really a quaint and distinctive neighborhood tradition — something that setsthe neighborhood apart."

Inge Harding-Barlow, another donkey handler, has been at it long enough to recollect how Hollywood came calling in the l ate 1990s.

That's when artists from DreamWorks Animationthen headquartered in Redwood City — visited Barron Park to sketch and shoot

"Niner didn't have a good rapport with one of the artists. He kept trying to eat his very expensive boots," she says. "So Perry got the role, mostly because he behaved himself and Niner didn' t."

The rest is showbiz history. "Shrek" went on to win the first Academy Award for best animated feature and grossed close to $500 million in worldwide box-office receiptsbefore spawning three sequels.

Perry? Well, his handlers were paid a measly $75 by DreamWorks for two lengthy modeling sessions. That, and no royalties to speak of.Apparently, he didn't have a great agent.

Not that Perry is bitter.

Harding-Barlow d escribes him as a "little sweetie" who adores being petted, and loves kids, dogs and posing for photos.

"He treats his public very well," she says.

it or what I can do to prevent it from happening to me again. I was given two medications,promethazine for nausea and meclizine for vertigo, but still the problem persists. Can you offer some kind of help?

— J.G. ANSWER: Vertigo is the sensation of movement when not moving. Although it is classically described as a spinning sensation, some people feelas ifthey orthe world is moving in other ways.

There are many causes of vertigo, but we generally break them down into two groups: peripheralcauses,from the vestibular nerve, which connects your brain

common cause is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and I suspect that is what you were being treated for, having received a nonspecific treatment for vertigo.

Although it is commonplace, I disagree with this treatment if it is used for more than a day or two, and then only in people

whose symptoms are severe.

and central causes, from the brain itself.

Peripheral causesaremuch morecommon and generally are labelled "benign," even though they can be quite severe. Central causes are most commonly attributed to vestibula rmigraineandpoorbloodfl ow to the brainstem.

Only a carefulexam and,occasionally, more sophi sticated tests can revealthe underlying cause of the vertigo. The most

Most people getrelieffrom an office treatment called the Epley maneuver. They can continue at home with other exercises. I would suggest that you ask your doctor about these procedures, and if he or she isn't familiar with them, it might be wise to consult with an expert. In any event, vertigo is a symptom that can arise from several distinct medical conditions. You should

DEAR DR. ROACH:I have been taking statin medications for about 18 years.

I found out from a CTscan (donefor something else) that I have fibrosis of the liver.

I understand that statin medications are not advi sed if a person has a diseased liver. My blood tests are normal, I drink no alcohol and I take no other medicines. My cardiologist said that I should keep taking the statin unless my liver tests comeback abnormal. What would you do if this happenedtoyou? — M.K. ANSWER: Like so many others, this is a question of competing risks. Ultimately you have to weigh how much benefit you will get taking a statin against the risk of taking a statin in the presenceofliverfibrosis.(I'm notyou,

so what I would do isn't relevant.)

I don't have enough information to answer the first part. The benefits of statins range from quite significant in high-risk people(preventing a heart attack or deathin perhaps one out of40 people who take it for five years) to almost none in people at low risk of heart disease.

On the other hand, it is very unusual (perhaps one in a thousand) to have significant risk of liver disease due to statin treatment, and most casesseen were due to drug interactions. This is not an issue for you. Fibrosis of the liver is not a problem in itself so much as it can progress to cirrhosis in some cases. It's not clear to me why you have fibrosis, but hepatitis C and fatty liver disease are the most com-

mon causes I see.

I would recommend staying on the statinifthereisa goodreason foryou to be on it in the first place. You may need further evaluation to determine the cause ofyourliverfi brosis.

Today in history Today is Saturday, Dec. 19, the 353rd day of 2015.

There are 12 days left in the year.

Today's Highlights in History:On Dec. 19, 1915, legendary French chanteuse Edith Piaf was born in Paris. German psychiatrist Alois Alzheimer, who discovered the pathological condition of dementia, died in Breslau (now Wroclaw), Poland, at age 51.

On this date: In 1777, Gen. George Washington led his army of about 11,000 men to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to camp for the winter.

In 1843, "A Christmas Carol," by Charles Dickens, was first published in England.

In 1907, 239 workers died in a coal mine explosion in Jacobs Creek, Pennsylvania.

In 1932, the British Broadcasting Corp. began transmitting overseas with its Empire Service to Australia.

In 1961, former U.S. Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., 73, suffered a debilitating stroke while in Palm Beach, Florida.

In 1974, Nelson A. Rockefeller was sworn in as the 41st vice president of the United States in the U.S. Senate chamber by Chief Justice Warren Burger with President Gerald R. Ford looking on.

In 1975, John Paul Stevens was sworn in as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1985, in Minneapolis, Mary Lund became the first woman to receive a Jarvik Vll artificial heart. (Lund received a human heart transplant 45 days later; she died in October 1986.)

In 1998, President Bill Clinton was impeached by the Republican-controlled House for perjury and obstruction of justice (he was subsequently acquitted by the Senate).

ARIAS A double may suggest a bad trump break

Against four +AK52 spades doubled, West leads heart king and continues with the heart queen. East overtakes with his Vulnerable: East-West ace and shifts to a low club. How would you plan S outh W e s t No r t h Ea s t the play?

Pass 3 % East's pre-empt was in the modern style — open 34 Pass 44 Pass high with a long suit and a weak hand, almost Pass Dbl. All P a ss regardless of suit quality and vulnerability.

Unless you are sacrificing, a double often tells Opening lead:V K you that the trumps are breaking badly. This can help you with the play — ashere. What can West have for his double but all four trumps?

Suppose you run the club to dummy's 10, cross to your hand with a diamond, and lead the spade two. If West crazily plays his four, cover with dummy's five. A rational West will put in his spade 10, thinking this assures him of two trump tricks. However, you can endplay West.

You must reduce your trump length. Win with the spade ace, cash the diamond ace, ruff a diamond, play a club to the queen, ruff a diamond, and cash the club ace, bringing everyone down to three cards. Now lead the club king. West must ruff high, but then has to lead from his spade queen-four into your king-eight.

The Bears (&3) won their third straight game for the second time this season. They started the season with three victories snd followed those with three losses.

Wiggins lifts Wolves overKings MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Scoring hss always come fairly easily for Andrew Wiggins.

The reigning Rookie of the Year knows that if he is going to help the young Minnesota Timberwolves out of the morass of the last two weeks, he's going to have to do more than just put the ball in the basket. And he did so much more to bury the Sacramento Kings.

Wiggins had 32 points, 10 rebounds snd six assists to lift the

strugglingTimberwolves to s 99-95 victory on Friday night.

It was the 20-yearold's first double-double of the season and he joined LeBron James, Kevin Durant sndTobiss Harris as the only players 20 or younger to record at least 30 points, 10 boards snd five assists in a game over the past 15 years.

Karl-Anthony Towns fought off foul trouble for 15 points snd eight rebounds, and Shsbazz Muhammad added 16 points snd seven boards for the Timberwolves, who had lost eight of their previous nine games. Minnesota outrebounded Sacramento 49-31 in its fourth home victory of the season.

"We had to be punched before we reacted," Kings coach George Karl said. "I don't know if we' re good enough to do that on the road."

DeMarcus Cousins had 24 points, 11 rebounds and four assists for the Kings in their first loss in four games.

Rajon Rondo had 13 assists snd 11 points in his return from s one-game suspension for directing a gay slur at referee Bill Kennedy, who later came out as gay in sn interview with Yahoo Sports.

The 31-year-old Vonn, who has fought back brilliantly from a c a reerthreatening knee injury in 2013, has been joking about her age recently.

Still, she was incredibly quick: .01 down at the first and s~nd time splits on the Oreiller Killy course.

It makes you wonder how good Vonn would be if she spent more time on slalom, but there are other priorities. She has a GS coming up on Sunday in Courchevel, a short trip away in the French Alps.

But first of all she has a downhill here on Saturday, where she will be oddson favorite to extend her women's record to 72 career wins.

Calaveras led 50-10 after three quarters.

A running clock in t h e fourthquarter kept the scoring down, but the Rams were able to put up five more points.

Jasper had a game-high 17 points and was 3 for 4 from behind the arc. Brookelyn Larkin had nine points, four steals and three assists. Tori Wood and Evans each scored eight points while Evans pulled down eight rebounds and had two blocked shots.

Dana Jump scored six and Kate Lumely scored four.

Even with the big win, Malamed makes sure to keep his team grounded and doesn' t let them get too high with their strong preseason. But all that the Redskins can do is play whoever is next on their schedule and hope the wins continue to fall.

"We go into every game and respect every opponent and

not take anyone for granted," Malamed said. 'We are looking to give everyone out best.

I think the girls knew early on that this team really isn' t on our level. We talk a lot in practiceto not be overconfident. We talked yesterday (Thursday) in practice that we are happy with the way they are playing, but certain things like complicity and overconfidence could get in the way of us continuing this once league starts. If we stress it enough, they will believe that every game is a challenge and that if you show up and don't bring your best, anyone can beat you everynight.We wanna make sure they stay humble and focused every game."

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Ottawa got chances when they were most needed.

Bobby Ryan had a goal and an assistand the Senators scored three times in the third period to beat the San Jose Sharks 4-2 on Friday night for their fourth straight home win.

Craig Anderson made 31 saves to help Ottawa win for the second time in five games. The Senators have won just two of their past five games.

Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Chris Wideman and Erik Karlsson all scored in the third period. ''We had chances," Ryan said. 'We got a lot of shots in there and there a lot of positives for us to build on."

Joe Thornton and Brent Burns had the goals for the Sharks, and Alex Stalock made 31 saves.

Pageau started and finished the play that gave the Senators a 2-1

control of the sport.

Amaury Sport Organisation, the organizer of the Tour, last month rejected the UCI's proposed reforms forthe 2017 WorldTour, and has the support of amajority ofrace organizers in its bid to be &ee ofcycling'sgoverning body.

ASO said in a statement on Friday it told the UCI "ithas opted for the registration of its events on the Hors Classe calendar for season 2017," meaning it will have more freedom to invite the teams of its choice to its events.

ASO described the UCI i+. form of the 2017 WorldTour as "aclosed sportsystem."

Stalockgot a piece ofDziurzynski's shot but left the rebound right on the goal line for Pageau to poke in.

"I don't know if I stole it &om (Dziurzynski), I wish he would have scored but when it's 1-1 like that you want to make sure it's in," Pageau said. "He made agood play to spin around and take a shot on net, but I guess I stole it."

Wideman got the eventual winner and Karlsson provided some insurance with goals later in the period.

"Feels good to get anything at this point," Wideman said of his first goal in 15 games. "I' ve had a lot of shots the lastcouple ofgames, Isaw a littleday light and it got through. I think it was a huge win."

Burns closed out the scoring with 2:24 left. The Sharks also lost 5-4 to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.

"We came out, for back-to-back games theway we wanted to,"Sharks defenseman Paul Martin said. 'We were able to control some of the play and we had our moments but in the third we gave them some opportunities with some odd-man rushes and they capitalized."

The first period had no goals but plenty of action. The teams combined for 25 shots amid odd-man rushes, struck goal posts, brilliant saves and several scoring chances.

Thornton opened the scoring just 29 seconds into the second with a powerplay goalafter he took a pass from Burns and beat Anderson with a wrist shot &om the slot.

The lead was short lived. Ryan scored just over 4 minutes later by

cutting in front of the net and jamming a puck through Stalock.

Continued from PageCl

NEW YORK (AP) The Los Angeles Dodgers have been hit with a record luxury tax of nearly $43.6 million for a payroll that fell just shy of $300 million.

For the first time, four teams exceeded the spending threshold and owe tax.

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will pay along with the San Francisco Giants, a firsttime offender.

Los Angeles finished with a recordpayroll of $291 million this year, according to final calculations made by Major League Baseball on Friday and obtained by The Associated Press. For purposes of the tax, which uses a different calculation method and i ncludes benefits, the Dodgers' payroll was $297.9 million.

The Dodgers' three-year tax totalcomes to $81.6 million.

New York owes $26.1 million, raising the Yankees'total since the tax began in 2003 to $297.9 million. Boston owes $1.8 million for this year and the Giants $1.3 million, a recordtax total of $72.8 million for a single year.
