Angela Rader wiped a tear awayWednesday as she recalled the firestormthat consumed two homes that were inher family for five generations, in Glen­coe off Valentine Gulch Road.

Rader and her family members werein the direct path of the Butte Fire twoweeks ago as it blazed up out of theNorth Fork Mokelumne River drainageand into Calaveras County.

"It's amazing how hot that fire was,"Rader, 41, said during a visit to a disas­ter-relief station set up at CalaverasCounty Government Center in SanAndreas. "It just ripped right throughthere. We left Wednesday, the day itstarted. With my 15-year-old there wasno way I was taking chances with hislife."

The Butte Fire was first reportedat 2:26 p.m. Sept. 9 near CharamugaRanch and Butte Mountain Road. Rad­er said she believes the blaze burnedher family's homes to the ground two orthree days later.

Structures destroyed by the Butte Fire are left in ruins Wednesday aboveburned forest between Jesus Maria and Mountain Ranch.

One way in, one way out''We live in a wooded area, so it's one

way in and one way out," Rader toldAmerican Red Cross volunteer DickBrown. "It was a hot fire. My great­

grandparents built these houses."Rader said Wednesday was her second

time visiting the disaster-relief station.

GUEST OPINION

vercomin arriers o rea o ioi a useBehavioral Health professionals

across the country are becoming in­creasingly concerned by the growingrates of opioid painkiller abuse andaddiction. Unfortunately, TuolumneCounty is seeing particularly highrates of opioid abuse, ranking sixthin the state for deaths from pre­scription opioids.

Opioids include prescription nar­cotic painkillers such as hydroco­done (e.g. Vicodin), oxycodone (e.g.OxyContin or Percocet), morphineand codeine.

The National Institutes of Healthdefine opioids as medications thatrelieve pain by reducing the inten­sity of pain signals reaching thebrain. Because they affect the partof the brain involved in emotionsand rewards, some people also feeleuphoria after consuming thesemedications. In o ther words, al­though opiates were developed toease physical pain, they also affectfeelings of emotional pain. The ef­fort to reduce physical and/or emo­tional pain may drive some peopleto abuse opiates and take more thanprescribed or request higher dosag­es from their physicians than maybe necessary.

Opioids can have many poten­

tially dangerous effects, includingdrowsiness, confusion, respiratoryarrest or cardiac arrest. Contin­ued use may result in physical de­pendence and/or tolerance, so theperson may need higher doses ofthe medication to get the same ef­fect. Unfortunately, the body oftendevelops tolerance to the euphoriafaster than it develops tolerance tothe more dangerous physical effects.The message is: opioid abuse canlead to serious medical complica­tions, including overdose and death.

Many people who struggle withaddiction or abuse aren't evenaware of the dependency or the po­tential harm caused by long-termdrug use. In most cases, people havebeen prescribed opiates by their doc­tor and may not realize the dangersassociated with their use until thedamage is already well underway.Not surprisingly, it is rare for peopleto seek treatment for opiate addic­tions or abuse due to the fear of thereturn of pain and the ongoing legalavailability through prescriptions.

other words, the longer the pain­killers were used and the more thedosage increased, the more the riskof developing major depression in­creased. In fact, those who took opi­oids for more than six months hada 53 percent higher risk of develop­ing depression. Again, this meansthat Behavioral Health profession­als may eventually provide servicesrelated to opioid abuse, but unfortu­nately only after more serious com­plications develop.

There are own multiple barri­ers that can prevent people fromseeking timely treatment for opi­oid abuse and addiction. Besidesmisperceptions about the level ofrisk from the use of opiates, therecontinues to be stigma associatedwith seeking help for substance ad­diction and abuse, as well as for thedepression and other mental healthsymptoms that can result. Manylonger-term substance abusers alsobegin to experience problems withother aspects of their life — rela­tionship issues, financial problems,trouble holding down a job — thatcan create barriers to seeking treat­ment.

It is very important to recognizethat, in most of the above-described

scenarios in which opioid abus­ers and addicts receive BehavioralH ealth services, those services arereceived in the context of mentalhealth rather than substance abuse.This is a key concern because, whilethere may be mental health issuesat play as well, mental health ser­vices are not oriented toward ad­diction management. In order to ef­fectively address the growing publichealth problem of opioid abuse andaddiction, therefore, it is vital to pro­vide appropriate interventions re­lated to the substance abuse issues.

Overcoming the barriers andfears to accessing treatment forpersons with either prescription orother substance abuse issues is afirst step in a healthy communityand the unique individuals who livehere. Better understanding of opi­ate abuse and addiction, recognitionthat abuse is not a personal failure,and working together with all treat­ment providers in the communitywill ultimately reduce the impactof opiate abuse on the lives of indi­viduals, families, the workforce andemergency services.

dose. Upon report of an overdose,emergency medical personnel aska Behavioral Health professional tomeet with that patient to determineif the overdose was a result of anunintentional overuse or a suicideattempt. Both situations are condi­tions for which treatment shouldbe sought. Sadly, in the case of acci­dental overdose, persons may avoidany treatment and may ultimatelydie as a result of continued abuse ofthese dangerous substances.

It is also worth noting recent re­search findings, which indicate thatlong-term use of opiates may signifi­cantly increase the risk of develop­ing serious mental health issuessuch as major depression. Accordingto the Journal of Internal Medicine(Oct. 29, 2013), not only did researchfind that opioid abuse increased therisk of developing depression, but"the risk of development of depres­sion increased as the duration ofopioid ... exposure increased."

To the Editor:The ramifications of allow­

To place any large (and un­sightly) chain retail edifice atthe entrance to this historicalsite mocks the work of Ger­aldine McConnell and Gov.Earl Warren in establishingthe park; it undervalues, notonly the millions of hours do­nated by the docents of Co­lumbia who have kept, andstill keep, history alive, butalso the work of the rangers,past and present, who havemaintained and protected Co­lumbia for present and futuregenerations, and the mer­chants who present the au­thenticity of commerce past.

But most significantly, itsends a vivid message to thethousands of children whovisit the park each year aspart of their California His­tory curriculum: the preser­vation of history is not impor­

When the tmthisa lie

Betsy McCaughey, "Obama'son Thin Ice with ClimateChange Fear Mongering." Thepeople of our community de­serve the truth about globalwarming. The McCaugheypiece willfuHy lies, intendingto deceive the public and main­tain doubt about the science.

She quotes the Alaska Cli­mate Research Center, whoseresearch doesn't support Mc­Caughey's statements. She' scherry picking their research.Alaska's climate is sufferingfrom global warming in dra­matic ways.

McCaughey also quotesWill Happer, Princeton Ph.D,who isn't a climate scientistbut who is Chairman of theGeorge Marshall Institutethat was created originally toprovide fake science claimingcigarette smoking was harm­less. Happer provides falsescience on demand; the KochBrothers and the fossil fuelsindustry heavily fund Happer.Earlier projects were denialsof the dangers of acid rain andof ozone depletion.

There is not a single earths cience institution in t h eworld that supports what TheUnion Democrat published;it's pure bunk. It wouldn' tm atter if the topic were hair­styles; but global warmingis literally driving us fromour homes with wildfires,drought, loss of wells, loss ofsnowpack as we await thenext climate driven catastro­phe: El Nino. How much pun­ishment do we need before weface reality?

In 16 years reading TheUnion Democrat I have neverseen a feature article doneon Global Warming. Insteadspace is given to McCaugheywho even the most cursoryresearch can be shown to bethe worst kind of fabricator ofdeceit. Real news people havelost their jobs for far less.

No wonder public officialsin our region make preposter­ous statements about globalwarming with impunity. Themedia is asleep at the wheel,allowing unsupportable non­sense to become common cur­rency. Well-funded denier scan buy speech, even whenit has no resemblance to thetruth.

GUEST COLUMN

He is the only man in the world withthis job title, but from the moment PopeFrancis was hired, he eschewed the fan­cy trappings of his predecessors to avoidthe isolation of privilege. So there hewas Wednesday, pulling up to PresidentBarack Obama's rental house on Penn­sylvania Avenue in a boxy little Fiat.

After the pope's brief speech on theWhite House lawn, he switched cars andheaded for the parade, where he wavedto thousands of admirers from his pope­mobile, a modified Jeep Wrangler madeby union workers in Toledo, Ohio.

Surrounded by emergency vehiclesand swarmed by security, Pope Francisnonetheless managed to persuade grim­faced Secret Service agents to fetchbabies from the crowd so that he couldkiss them. My favorite moment duringlive coverage came when agents tried toshoo away 5-year-old Sophie Cruz. Thelittle girl in pigtails made eye contactwith Pope Francis, and he waved for herto come to him. An agent lifted her sothat the pope could kiss and embraceher.News organizations later reported

that Sophie had traveled from Los An­geles with her parents and a group thatadvocates for American-born childrenof immigrants. I confess I read that andthought, "Nice work, God."

Pope Francis is only 5 feet 9 inchestall, but he is a towering figure thisweek in a country — in our country— full of people yearning for signs ofgreatness in those who think they' reentitled to center stage. Millions ofAmericans, most Catholic but surelynot all of them, are hanging on his ev­ery word.

And why not?

Pope Francis goes to Washington

I'm not Catholic, and I am mindful ofthose who continue to suffer because ofthe Roman Catholic Church's failings.But there is something about this pope.His respectful ease with our presidentand his words of gentle optimism in­vited immediate contrasts with whatsome presidential candidates havebeen trying to pass off as leadership inrecent weeks.

The difference is so stark.Pope francis: As the son of an

immigrant family, I am happy to be aguest in this country, which waa largelybuilt by such families.

Donald Trump: '%hen Mexico sendsits people, they' re not sending their best.... They' re sending people that have lotsof problems, and they' re bringing thoseproblems with (them). They' re bringingdrugs. They' re bringing crime. They' rerapists."

Ben Carson: "I would not advocatethat we put a Muslim in charge of thisnation. I absolutely would not agreewith that."

Pope francis: Mr. President, I findit encouraging that you are proposinganinitiative for reducingair pollution.Accepting the urgency, i t seems clearto me, also, that climate change is aproblem (that) can no longer be left to afuture generation. When i t comes to thecare of our common home, we are livingat a critical moment of history.

was in college, we were told that (the)climate was changing but we wereabout to go into a deep freeze and, if wedidn't make urgent changes in the waywe live, we were all going to be Popsi­cles within another generation."

Ted Cruz: "If you look at satellite datafor the last 18 years, there's been zerorecorded warming. The satellite says itain't happening."

Pope Francis: During my visit, Iwill have the honor of addressingCongress, where I hope, as a brotherof this country, to offer words ofencouragement to those called to guidethe nation's political future in fidelity toits founding principles.

Ah, Congress — where Ted Cruz isthreatening to shut down the govern­ment. And his classmate Marco Rubionow claims that women get abortionsjust to drive profits from fetal tissuesales he knows do not exist. Handoffto Jeb Bush, who said, "I'm not sure weneed a half a billion dollars for women' shealth issues." End this round withOhio Gov. John Kasich, who's made asecond career of ridiculing teachers. "IfI were, not president, but if I were kingin America, I would abolish all teacherslounges, where they sit together andworry about 'woe is us."

These men want to be our next presi­dent.

On Wednesday, thousands linedthe street to welcome Pope Francis toWashington.

Small wonder why.

SEATTLE — Chinese Pres­ident Xi Jinping on Wednes­day addressed Amazonfounder Jeff Bezos, billionaireinvestor Warren Buffett andother top American and Chi­nese business leaders, vowingthat his country would workto remove barriers to foreigninvestment and improve in­tellectual property protec­tions.

Xi's conference with thebusiness leaders in Seattlemarked the beginning of abusy day. He also toured theBoeing production facility inEverett and was to visit theMicrosoft campus along witha high school in Tacoma.

The decision was polarizing. Serra isrevered by Catholics for his missionarywork, but many Native Americans inCalifornia say he enslaved converts andcontributed to the spread of disease thatwiped out indigenous populations.

In his homily, Francis defended Ser­ra, characterizing him as a kind andopen-hearted man who protected ¹tive Americans &om colonizers.

"He was excited about blazing trails,going forth to meet many people, learn­ing and valuing their particular cus­toms and ways of life," Francis said. "Ju­nipero sought to defend the dignity ofthe native community, to protect it &omthose who had mistreated and abusedit. Mistreatment and wrongs which to­

During a visit to South America in July,Francis offered a broad apology for thesins, offenses and crimes committed bythe churchagainstindigenous peoples.

Many Latinos in the U.S. view the can­onization of a Spanish-speaking mission­ary as a badly needed acknowledgmentof the Hispanic history of the Americanchurch, and as an affirmation of Latinosas a core part of the U.S. Catholic future.Latinos make up about 38 percent of US.Catholics, but are well above the major­ity in several dioceses.

He was at work when hestepped into a hot stump holeand sustained first and second­degree burns, Mike Mohler,of South Ops and Butte Fire'spublic information team, said atFrogtown.

"That's a big safety hazard be­cause they' ve been burning fordays now," Mohler said. "Theycan build up a crust on thesurface and it looks like you' rewalking on ash. It's like fallinginto an oven."

The bodies of two men werediscovered last week in neigh­borhoods that were under man­datory evacuations at the time.No other injuries or fatalitiesdue to the Butte Fire had beenreported as of Wednesday eve­ning.

More than 2,150 fire person­nel remained assigned to theButte incident, according to CalFire. An additional 600 PacificGas & Electric crew memberswere in the burn area, a utilityspokesman said.

"We have 150 customerswithout power and expect to re­store all of them tonight," PaulMoreno of PG&E said Wednes­day evening. "Before midnightis our ETA for restoration. Theseare folks right in the burn area.These are homes where it's safeto restore power, all in CalaverasCounty."

The cost of fighting the ButteFire is $56 million and rising, ac­cording to Cal Fire.

time she was principal of Toyon Middle Schoolin Valley Springs, testified that she met the de­fendant during a "failure to thrive hearing." Thehearings are typically geared toward studentswho are underachieving, she said.

At the time, the defendant was in the processof transitioning from sixth-grade at Jenny LindElementary School to seventh-grade at ToyonMiddle School.

McInturf said she would hold meetings withthe boy to review his grades, attendance andbehavior. During the meetings, the boy was "al­ways respectful," McInturf said, and would "al­ways answer honestly."

McInturf said the defendant was "bright" andhad "strong abilities" — but was "underachiev­ing."

"The grades would not refiect his level of in­telligence," she added.

A 16-year-old boy who said he considers thedefendant a friend testified Wednesday that hespoke with the defendant the week after themurder.

The boy said the defendant told him that,on the day of the murder, he saw Leila beingstabbed by a man when he came out of a bath­

The teen said he told the defendant that daythat some people believed he was the killer, towhich he said the defendant replied, "That iswhat I' ve heard, but they swabbed me."

Heather Wailer, who was a deputy probationofficer at El Dorado County Juvenile Hall at thesame time the defendant was in custody there,was also called to testify Wednesday.

Wailer said she heard a "disturbing" exchangebetween the defendant and another minor inNovember 2013.

She said she heard the defendant tell anotherboy that the boy could beat another boy to deathwith a baseball bat and "get away with it." Theother boy seemed "standoffish" in response tothe defendant's words, Wailer said.

The crime was reported at 12:15 p.m. April27, 2013. Leila was taken to Mark Twain Medi­cal Center in San Andreas, where she was pro­nounced dead at 1:01 p.m.

The defendant was arrested May 11, 2013.He is not being tried as an adult.His trial, which began Sept. 15, is being held

in open court due to a statute that allows juve­nile murder trials to be public.

No jury will decide the case. Instead, Calav­eras County Superior Court Judge Thomas A.Smith will deliver a verdict.

The trial is scheduled to resume today.

erat reported Sept. 18 that several residentsbelieve they know where it started, under apower line that crosses Charamuga Ranchsouth of Butte Mountain Road.

In the steep-sided North Fork MokelumneRiver canyon, the Electra Powerhouse andother hydropower facilities owned by PG&Edid not sustain significant damage in theButte Fire, utility spokesman Paul Morenosaid.

Pacific Gas & Electric has agreementswith agencies including East Bay MUD tomove water downstream for their use.

Crews with PG&E have inspected pen­stocks that convey water to the powerhouse,and the powerhouse itself, and found no is­sues due to the Butte Fire, Moreno said.

There are hazardous trees, killed or dyingfiom the Butte Fire, near Electra Road andother roads that will need to be cut down.

PG&E owns about 1,000 acres impactedby the Butte Fire, and crews will be pa­trolling that land, Moreno said. The utilitymay replant trees in the burn with saplingsgrown from a seed bank that has seeds fromnative trees in the same elevation band.

East Bay MUD

East Bay Municipal Utilities District re­lies on snowmelt from the Mokelumne Riverwatershed to provide drinking water for 1.3million customers in Alameda and ContraCosta counties. Below the Butte Fire burnand Highway 49, the North Fork MokelumneRiver is impounded at Pardee Reservoir.Pardee has a capacity of 197,950 acre-feet,

equivalent to a 10-month supply for EastBay MUD's customers. The utility claims ithas water rights for up to 325 million gallonsdaily fi'om the Mokelumne River watershed.

People with East Bay Municipal UtilitiesDistrict estimate about 3 percent, or 12,000acres, of the watershed was burned anddamaged by the Butte Fire, utility spokes­person Abby Figueroa said. East Bay MUDdoes not own any of the land that burned.The primary concern in the wake of the fireis possible impacts on water quality, not wa­ter supply.

"We do have concerns," Figueroa saidWednesday. 'The fire originated about 10miles upriver fi'om Pardee, along nine milesof river. That first night it jumped the river,and it did burn on both sides of the river.

"Definitely we are thinking ahead on ero­sion concerns," Figueroa said. "Anythingthat has an impact on the watershed anderosion, that's a concern. Do we need to clearanything, do we need to clear trees and logs?They' re saying this wintermaybea very wetone. If you don't have trees in the watershed

what holds back the snow? Anything thatmight decrease the snowpack is a concern."

East Bay MUD has about 60 people whowork in Amador and Calaveras counties,Figueroa said.

"Ten of them were evacuated, and three ofthem lost homes," Figueroa said. "So there' sa human factor."

No known water quality impacts yet

There have been no impacts to water sup­ply or water quality to date, Figueroa said.

"In general, fire can increase surfaceerosion in burnt areas and can generateincreased pollutant loads of nutrients, sus­pended and dissolved solids, and taste andodor compounds," Figueroa said.

East Bay MUD rangers still need to assessthe damage to the watershed and determinewhat erosion risks there are for this winteras well as what mitigation measures will betaken, Figueroa said. Utility personnel planto sample and monitor river and reservoirwater quality through the winter to deter­mine if there are any fire-related impacts.

The utility has experience with previousEl Nino winters, and erosion was a concernfor East Bay MUD in the 1990s, Figueroasaid.

"There was a lot of rain and snow,"Figueroa said. 'What happens is that whentoo much stuff flows into the river and thereservoir, it increases turbidity in the river,the water is more cloudy.

"We do have filtration, and that muchdebris can max out our filtration system,"Figueroa said. "There's not much you can dowhen there's that much turbidity. You haveto wait until it settles out."

including trademarks it holds for iconic namessuch as the Ahwahnee Hotel, Curry Village andBadger Pass.

The 10-page complaint argues that the parkservice should have required Aramark to pur­chase all intangible and intellectual propertyfiom Delaware North, which valued the assetslast year at $51 million.

"We expected that the NPS would treat usfairly in this process, but instead it feels like weplayed by the NPS', rules and the NPS unilater­ally changed the game," Delaware North said in awritten statement.

Delaware North claims it was required to buyall of the assets from Yosemite Park and CurryCompany, the previous concession operator formore than 100 years, under the terms of its origi­nal concession contract in 1993.

According to Delaware North, the company'soriginal contract included an agreement for anysucceeding concession operator to buy out all ofits assets.

The park service put the contract out to bid inJuly 2014 with a requirement for the successorcompany to purchase Delaware North's "otherproperty," which included furniture, trade fix­tures, equipment and vehicles.

During the bidding process, Delaware Northclaims to have sought and obtained an amend­ment to the bid document that required a succes­sor company to also purchase all of its intangibleassets, including "intellectual property, customerdatabase and Internet-related intangibles."

The park service announced the selection of Yo­semite Hospitality, LLC, a subsidiary of Aramark,as the new concession operator on June 16. Ac­cording to the lawsuit, the park service allegedlybreached its contract with Delaware North by nolonger requiring Aramark to purchase DelawareNorth's intangible assets and intellectual prop­erty.

Delaware North is now seeking damages in anamount to be determined at trial, including attor­ney fees.

"We are now confused and disheartened thatNPS seems unwilling to honor its contractual ob­ligation by failing to require the new concessionerto buy and pay fair value for the assets that weuse to operate Yosemite," Delaware North stated."Simply put, NPS has breached our contract andleft us with no choice but to take legal action."

Yosemite spokesman Scott Gediman said thepark service does not comment on pending litiga­tion.

Aramark is set to take over concession op­erations at the park on March 1, 2016. A 60-daycongressional review period for the new contractexpires Oct. 6, though Gediman said the park ser­vice hasn't received any comments so far.

Despite the lawsuit, Delaware North vows toensure a smooth transition next year.

"Regardless, we stand ready to do our part toensure a smooth transition of concession ser­vices at Yosemite National Park and remaindedicated to caring for Yosemite National Parkand making each Yosemite guest experience,moment and memory the best it can be," thecompany stated.

East Bay MUD has other water stor­age reservoirs that can compensate for anypossible delays caused by erosion affectingPardee, Figueroa said. Utility officials arenot aware of any damaged or destroyedhomes located in the North Fork Moke­lumne watershed.

Bureau of Land Management

The federal Bureau of Land Managementowns about 20,000 acres of the MokelumneRiver watershed, said David Christy ofBLM's Mother Lode Field Office.

"We administer part of the watershed,"Christy said. "There is concern, I can tell youthat. Because of the fire, that burns vegeta­tion off the slopes and, if there is erosion,that could end up in the river.

"The Mokelumne River watershed isabout a half-million acres," Christy said.aWe're about 20,000 acres that we own in thewatershed, and about 4,000 of that we figureburned in the fire. It's on the lower water­shed where people are, so we are concernedabout erosion, and we' re planning what to doabout that."

The Bureau of Land Management alsooversees about 8,000 acres farther souththat burned in the Butte Fire, west of Moke­lumne Hill and Mountain Ranch, Christysaid.

"Weal be coordinating with the counties,Amador and Calaveras, and a number ofcommunity agencies concerned about thewatershed, and the fire agencies and, in thiscase, PG&E and East Bay MUD."

What to do aboutsmoke-filled skies

Everyone from the JerryGarcia Band to Eartha Kitthas recorded the JeromeKern song "Smoke Gets inYour Eyes," and the classiclyrics aptly describe howteary a fiery end to a ro­mance can make you. Butfolks from the West andSouthwest to the Midwestand beyond are dealingwith eye irritation, breath­ing difficulty and asthmafrom rampant w i l df ire sthat've burned more than7.5 million acres so far thisyear.

The skies in many locales

Volunteers from Amador-TuolumneCommunity Action Agency's MentoringWorks program participated in a cDon'tBe A Stat" presentation recently by theFriday Night Live program staff. Theactivity simulated alcohol impairmentwith goggles created by the "Fatal Vision"

"These goggles alter the wearer's vi­sion, making their view that of someonejust under the legal limit for alcohol con­sumption, at the legal limit, twice thelegal limit and over the legal limit atnight," said Mentoring Works Coordina­tor Elena Linehan.

The mentors were then given simpletasks such as tossing bean bags at a tar­get, matching shapes by size and color ona mat, or walking down a hallway whileavoiding hazard cones.

Smoke-filled skies can be a health risk to anyone withheart disease or lung problems. Even healthy peopleshould avoid strenuous outdoor activity when the airis visibly smoky.

And everyone shouldavoid strenuous outdooractivity when i t 's v isiblysmoky or if the air qual­ity index is rated as "un­healthy."

This is also a good time tomake sure you drink plentyof water and stay hydrated

"It's amazing how simple tasks canbecome so complicated when wearingdrunk goggles. The first thing I did waswalk into the wall," Linehan said.

Mentors were given tips on preventingunderage drinking and learned statisticsfrom Olivia Sorensen, Friday Night LiveProgram assistant coordinator.

The "Don't Be A Stat" presentation in­cluded information from the most recentCalifornia Healthy Kids Survey of Tu­olumne County students.For example, 36 percent of ninth-grad­

ers reported having used alcohol at leastonce in the past 30 days.

Sorensen also included information ondistracted driving, including that 45 per­cent of Californians said they have madea driving mistake while talking on thecell phone.

Both the Mentoring Works programand the Friday Night Live program arefunded through Tuolumne County Be­havioral Health grant funding to theAmador-Tuolumne Community ActionAgency.

The equipment for the "Don't Be AStat" presentation was provided throughthe Behavioral Health grant funds, Line­han said.

Mentoring Works matches communityvolunteers with children in the commu­nity in need of a friend through a one-on­one mentoring program. More than 300youth have been served since 1997.

Pat on the backis important for ADHD kids

Several years ago, whenHank Aaron was asked,"What would you do differ­ently if you played baseballtoday?" the always-gracefulhome-run king (at the time)replied: 'That's easy. I'd askfor more money."

Well, the need to be reward­ed for good performance isn' texclusive to big-time athletes.In fact, recognition for a jobwell done turns out to meana whole lot more to childrenwith attention deficit/hyper­activity disorder than it doesto adults in any profession orto typically developing kids,say researchers at the Uni­versity at Buffalo. That's be­cause kids with ADHD — acommon childhood disorderthat includes symptoms suchas hyperactive behavior, dif­ficulty staying focused andinattention — demonstratean increased sensitivity toreward. Verbal and other re­wards increase their motiva­tion to master cognitive tasksand control their erratic be­haviors, plus they help themfeel more comfortable sociallyand emotionally.

This is welcome news to thethousands of parents, familyand &iends who are lookingfor ways to help kids withADHD feel more comfortablein their own skin and devel­op effective ways to managetheir difIiculties in and out ofthe classroom.

So if you have a child withADHD or you know one whohas the disorder, pay atten­tion to what your child does,and find positive things to sayabout his or her behavior. Don' tlie (kids know when you are),but identify their efFort andpraise their hard work. Withgood cognitive behavioral ther­apy, positive reinforcement, theproper medication and supportin school, kids with ADHD canthrive and even excel.

fice in Jamestown.The National Highway

TrafIlc Safety Administra­tion said in 2012 an averageof three children age 14 andyounger were killed and 462were injured every day inthe United States in motorvehicle crashes.

Research shows that, incars, child-safety seats re­duce the risk of fatal injuryby 71 percent for infantsand 54 percent for toddlers,Norton and AAA said.

Improper in s tallationcould be something small,like the retainer clip not be­ing property installed or arange of other things, Nor­ton said.

Children must be in rear­facing car seats until theyare both 1 year old and 20pounds, Norton said. Thereis legislation being con­sidered in California thatwould change that to 2 yearsold and 40 pounds, Nortonsaid. Rear-facing installa­tion can help reduce head,spine and neck injuries.

Some children are tall,and parents aker age 1

AAA TIPSAAA has identified the

most common hazardousshortcuts and provides thefollowing tips to ensurechild safety while riding in avehicle:

"I'm only driving a milefrom home, so my sondoesn't need to be securedin his car seat sinceit's ashort trip."

Tip: You should buckle upproperly on every trip-nomatter the distance-sincemost crashes occur close tohome.

"I'm picking up severalkids after soccer practice andI'm going to put my 8-year­old daughterin the frontseat so all the children can fitinto the car."

Tip: All children under age13 are safest when riding inthe back seat and restrainedin the appropriate childrestraint system.

"We will be driving morepeoplein our car than wehave seatbelts. Sinceit's ashort trip, it's not a big dealfor someone to ride onanother person's lap."

Tip: It's never safe to rideon a person's lap. Each pas­senger should be properlyrestrained on every trip.

"My son is 10 years oldand 4'6" tall. It's safe for himto stop using his boosterseat and only use a seat beltnow."

Tip: Children age 8 orolder, or who are 4'9" ortaller, may use the vehicleseat belt if it fits properlywith the lap belt low on thehips, touching the upperthighs, and the shoulder beltcrossing the center of thechest. If children are not tall

or car seat.

enough for proper belt fit,they must ride in a booster

Children under age 8must be properly buckledinto a car seat or booster inthe back seat.

BOOSTER SEATSFor many parents, the

decision to move their childout of a booster seat andinto an adult safety beltsystem is often confusing.Booster seats allow a lap/shoulder belt to properly fita child. Without this seat, achild is at great risk of beingejected or seriously injuredin a crash, because the seatbelt alone cannot securethem properly. But when is achild ready to move into theadult belt system?

Parents should use thisfive step test to determine iftheir child is ready to moveout of a booster seat into theadult seat belt system.

• Does your child sit all theway back against the autoseat?

• Do your child's kneesbend comfortably at theedge of the auto seat?

• Does the belt cross theshoulder between the neckand arm?

• Isthe lap belt as lowas possible, touching thethighs?

• Can your child stayseated like this for the wholetrip?

and 20 pounds face themforward because they don' thave much leg room, Nortonsaid, but it's easier and fast­er for legs to heal after anaccident than heads, spinesand necks.

Many other countriesrequire children to be rear­facing until they are 3 and4 years old, then they gostraight into booster seats,Norton said.

Installation tips

Norton said, when in­stalling a car seat, adultsshould put their weight onthe vehicle's seat to com­press the cushion, thencinch the car seat down.When the adult's weight isremoved, the cushion willexpand back up and tightenthe car seat more snugly.The goal is to have it beas tightly installed as pos­sible, Norton said, so thereis no more than 1 inch ofmovement in the seat fromwhere it's secured.

Parents also need tomake sure they secureharness straps snugly toa child — straps shouldn' tbe so loose that they can befolded over."If you can get a finger

under, it's good, but youdon't want to be able to foldit over," Norton said.

Also, the retaining clipon the harness should beclipped up under the child' sarmpits.

For installation in pick­ups with back seats, adultsmust make sure at leasttwo-thirds of the car seatfits on the seat cushion it­self. Otherwise, it must beinstalled in the front seat,with the pickup's seat in thefarthest back position, andairbags must be disabled,Norton said.

"Seeing a child that's in­jured from something thatcould have been easily tak­en care of is the worst forus," Norton said. "And weknow parents don't wantthat either. It doesn't takelong to have us just check itout. They are such preciouscargo for all of us."

IIUICE

DEAR ~ : I w as se verelyabused, physically and emotionally,when I was growing up, mostly by mymother and older sister. After manyyears of therapy, I have turned my lifearound and finally am able to feel likea worthwhile person.

The trouble is, my older sister con­tinues to be verbally abusive everytime we get together, which, fortu­nately, is not too often. I recently bit thebullet and tried again, getting togetherwith her and my two other sisters. Sureenough, "Betty" took the opportunityto taunt and yell at me, and ended upswinging her fists at me. This resultedin a PTSD episode for me.

I' ve finally decided to have nothingfurther to do with Betty, but it leavesme wIth feelings of guilt, since she ismy sister. Am I justified in cutting ofI'our relationship? — TIRED OF BE­ING ABUSED

DEAR TIRED: Yes. Your abusivemother obviously left Betty with

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a healthy58-year-old fem ale. One year ago, I wassitting on a &iend's porch when sud­denly it was as if someone had pouredthick oil over my left eye. After consult­ing with my eye doctor and my fam­ily physician, the occurrence was diag­nosed as an ocular migraine. Bloodworkand a routine physical turned up noth­ing abnormal. Both doctors said it wasnothing to worry about and that it mostlikely would not occur again. However,I have an episode about every three tofour months. Always the left eye, and italways clears up within five minutes.What is your take on this? — J.M.

ANSWER: Your doctors may beright, but I'm not 100 percent convinced,based on what you have told me. Tem­porary loss of vision (called amaurosisfugax, from Greek anti Latin roots) canbe caused by several conditions, som e ofwhich are sight-threatening. But thereare three particularly important causesthat I think of in your case.

The first is a blood vessel problem,most commonly an embolus (a smallpiece of debris, such as cholesterolplaque or blood clot) that blocks the

artery to the retina. This usually lastsfrom a few seconds up to 15 minutes,and people classically describe it as acurtain coming over the eye, sometimeswith complete blindness and sometimeswith only grayness over the vision.

Ocular or retinal migraine is a sec­ond possibility. These usually first occurin people who are under 40, often thosewith a family history. Some people de­scribe "scintillation" in the visual field.These last five minutes to an hour or so,and are followed by a headache withinan hour. You are older than most peoplewhen diagnosed by this, and you didn' tdescrIbe the headache, which makesthis diagnosis less likely, although stillpossible.

In addition, I would be concernedabout temporal arteritis, also called

some anger issues of her own, butbeing related to someone doesn' tmean you have to put up withabuse. Ever. You were wise to gettherapy so that you could improveyour life. It might help to ask yourtherapist to work on developingcoping strategies for situationsthat could be triggers for you.Overcoming abuse can be an ongo­ing process.

DEAR ANNIE: My 22-year-old son&equently has his buddies drop overfor a visit. Sometimes I'm a captiveaudience to their conversations. Theseguys (and sometimes gals) don't seemto understand that they should showsome respect in their conversation dueto the age difFerence between us.

giant cell arteritis. Vision loss is notusually the first symptom of this in­flammatory disease (headache anda painful sensation after chewing ashort while are the usual symptoms),but vision loss can be permanent andis almost always preventable if the di­agnosis is made and treatment begunpromptly.

A complete physical is a good start.An exam by an ophthalmologist is es­sential. Blood testing for temporal ar­teritis may not have been part of theroutine blood work you received. As youare 58, most experts would obtain anultrasound or MRI of the carotid arteryto look for a source of embolism, andwould at least consider an echocardio­gram and MRI of the brain. The diag­nosis of retinal migraine is made onlyafter being sure there isn't somethingelse causing the vision loss.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have atwitching of my left eye. My face drawsup when it happens. I went to a doctorand he gave me 15 Botox shots aroundmy eye and said I will need them everythree months. They help some. Can youtell me what it could be? — F.G.

I realize that they 6equently usevulgar language when in the companyof their peers, but am I out of line ask­ing them to curtail their potty mouthsin my presence?

Not only does it annoy and some­times embarrass me, but also it makesthem sound like illiterate heathens. Iguess they' re not out to impress. — AN­NOYED MOTHER

DEAR ANNOYED: Some par­ents would find it fIattering thattheir children's kiends feel com­fortable enough around them tospeak &eely. But you are rightthat it is also disrespectful, treat­ing you as though your sensitivi­ties don't matter. It is OK for youto say, 'Your language is makingme blush. I would appreciate it ifyou would keep it under control."Or you can speak to your son andask him to tell his friends that theyneed to be more careful in your

But you also do not need to be inthe room when they are visiting.If your son lives with you, then heshould be able to invite his kiendsover without his mother listeningto the conversation. In fact, theirvulgar language may be their wayof getting you to leave the room.Unless you are willing to tell yourson that his friends are not wel­come, we suggest you absent your­self as much as possible, even if itmeans taking a long walk or goingout to a movie. It also might betime to encourage your son to finda place of his own.

ANSWER: This is a special type ofdystonia, a movement disorder, calledblepharospasm (blef-a-row-spasm).It's an involuntary contracture of theorbicularis oculi muscle, which goesaround the eye. Other muscles may beinvolved, giving your face the "drawnup" appearance.

The botulinum toxin the doctor in­jects you with partially paralyzes themuscle, preventing the spasms, but thetoxin wears off. The condition is com­mon, but in most cases is mild enoughor intermittent enough that such pow­erful treatments aren't needed. In a fewcases, surgery is required.

You can get more information aboutblepharospasm and other dystonias atwww.dystonia-foundatioruorg.

Study: Diagnosis wrong too often, change neededWASHINGTON (AP) — Most

people will experience at least onewrong or delayed diagnosis overtheir lifetime, a report predicts,calling diagnostic errors a blindspot in modern medicine thatsometimes cause devastating con­sequences.

Getting the r ight d iagnosis,at the right time, is key to goodhealth care. But despite lots offocus on health care quality overthe past 15 years, Tuesday's In­stitute of Medicine report founddiagnostic errors have gotten toolittle attention and said urgentimprovements are needed.

The report is a "serious wake­up call," said Dr. Victor Dzau ofthe National Academies of Sci­ence, Engineering and Medicine,which oversees the institute.

Possibly the most well-knowndiagnostic error in recent mem­ory occurred last year when aLiberian man sick with Ebolainitially was misdiagnosed in aDallas emergency room as havingsinusitis. Thomas Eric Duncan re­turned two days later, sicker, andeventually died.

Diagnosis problems seldommake such dramatic headlines.The person whose colon cancerdiagnosis was delayed by severalmonths, or whose early signs ofappendicitis were mistaken for avirus, may not even realize theyexperienced an error. Others arefortunate enough to recover de­spite a misdiagnosis.

In fact, Tuesday's report foundthere's no good count of diagnosticerrors, or of how often they leadto serious consequences — it's notpart of standard medical report­ing.

But among the evidence thatled the committee to concludemost people eventually will expe­rience this problem: By one con­servative estimate, 1 in 20 adultswho seeks outpatient care eachyear experiences a diagnostic er­ror, a number that adds up overtime. Diagnostic errors make upthe leading type of paid malprac­t ice claims and are almost twice

as likely as other claims to haveresulted in a patient's death.

"This is an issue that matters topatients, and we' re shining a lighton it," said Dr. John Ball, execu­tive vice president emeritus of theAmerican College of Physicians,who chaired the IOM committee.

Even among the committee's med­

ical specialists, "many of us had ex­perienced what we would define as adiagnostic error," he added.

This is not about blaming and pun­ishing doctors, added committee mem­ber Dr. Christine Cassel, president ofthe National Quality Forum.

Some tips for patientsto reduce odds of being

misdiagnosed

The Institute of Medicine sayspatient input is critical as healthproviders try to figure out the rightdiagnosis. Here are tips from theIOM's reportTuesday, adaptedfrom the National Patient SafetyFoundation and the Society toImprove Diagnosis in Medicine:

• Don't hesitate to ask ques­tions: What could be causing myproblem? What else could it be?When will I get test results? Whatif my symptoms worsen?

• Be clear and complete in de­scribing your illness. Bring notesso you recall when symptomsbegan, what makes them betteror worse, or if they seem relatedto medications, meals or certaintimes of day.

• Know your family medicalhistory; relatives may have hadsimilar symptoms.

• Keep records of test results,referrals, hospital admissions.

• lf the doctor doesn't callpromptly with test results, call toask for them.

• Bring an up-to-date list of allmedications to each doctor visit.Know the doses, what each is for,and learn what side effects andinteractions may occur.

• Learn about your illness, testsor procedures through reliableonline sources or the library.

"It's not like I' ll go in and try to im­plement a post game, work on a hookshot or things like that," Curry said."I' ve just got to be able to take whatI do well and make it even better."

His Warriors knocked out Davis'New Orleans Pelicans in the firstround and Harden's Houston Rock­ets in the Western Conference finals.Now those stars are anxious to see iftheir teams have closed the gap.

Davis has seen one preseasonranking of the Pelicans as the No. 8team in the NBA, which gives himconfidence it can be done quickly.

"It can happen in a matter of ayear, couple of years," he said. "Imean, we were 12th in the West com­ing into the season last year, madethe playoffs in the eighth spot. Justoff las year they got us No. 8 overallin the league, so to go from 12th in

Taft battled back, andeventually took a 11-7 lead.Columbia couldn't keep anyof the momentum on its side.The Jumpers would take onestep forward, and then twosteps back.

"We are stil l l earningabout each other," Hoyt said."So, it's tough. We are learn­ing, but it is momentum. Youhave to control the tempowith your passing and hit­ting, and we just d idn' thave the opportunity to getenough down balls and putthem on their heels. For themost part, we improved alot."

When the Jumpers neededa big play, or a key block,it was Egger, who was inthe middle of things. Play­ing with a bandaged rightthumb, which was hurt dur­ing a weekend tournament,Egger continuously foundholes in the Taft defense.

"Caitie is a phenomenalvolleyball player," Abenthsaid. "I' ve been working withher since freshman year inhigh school. I' ve never beena setter until now.

"It's just sacrifice for theteam," Abenth said. "The ballshould never hit the floor,so if I have to throw myselfon the ground to keep it up,that's what I am going to do.As a volleyball player, it's allabout heart. You never giveup on a ball, no matter what."

What makes Abenth's per­formance more impressive, isthat she was playing a newposition, one that she hadnever played. For the firsttime in her volleyball career,she was the main setter in­stead of her more comfort­able role as a libero.

"We made some adjust­ments to the roster over thelast five days," said headcoach Rob Hoyt. "Anniestepped in and played setterfor the first time in her life.She did amazing for it beingher first time."

Chelsea Wertz helped cutthe Taft lead to 11-7 with abrilliant soft kill. That wouldbe as close as the Jumperswould get in the first set.

'Vile couldn't dig theirhits," Adams said. "We wouldmove to one place to wherethey hit it a previous time,and then they would go tothe other side. Every time wewould just miss it. We alsostruggled with tips tonight."

late in Sunday's 43-18 loss at Pitts­burgh, bouncing back from 61 yardspassing in the first half to finish with835 yards in the air. That included a75-yard touchdown pass to new targetTorrey Smith and six completions inall to Smith.

Still, Kaepernick was vulnerableand took five sacks. That comes afterhe was sacked 52 times last season,second-most in the NFL behind thenJaguars rookie Blake Bortles' 55.

Smith is San Francisco's top off­season acquisition after he signed afive-year deal with $22 million guar­anteed that could pay him as muchas $40 million. Yet he and Kaepernicknever connected during the preseasonand finally seem to be getting in syncon game day as they have regularlyshown on the practice field.

"It's actually easier in games be­cause it's new people," Smith said ofthe opposing defense. "You just workhard and get it down and just trans­late to the game."

The 49ers (1-1) will be under morepressure to protect Kaepernick onSunday at first-place Arizona.

a great — a slugging catcherwho earned three AL MVPawards and won a record 10World Series titles. Or fullytake in that this soft-spokenperson had spawned such loreand a legacy.

Of course, everybody whocrowded around him hopedto hear a Yogi-ism. Just one.They'd ask him questions andget him to tell stories, earsalert for something funny.

Maybe a "thank you formaking this day necessary."Or a "when you come to a forkin the road, take it."

More often than not, nope.He'd talk for a bit, make ob­servations about a player or agame, and that was it.

Nothing hilarious, noth­ing new to post on Twitter

or go viral on Vine.Not that anyone seemed

disappointed. Far from it.Former Yankees fan favor­

ite Paul O' Neill fondly recallsone of his best days at theballpark. It was the time hespent with Yogi in an equip­ment manager's office.

O' Neill said he sat mesmer­ized as Yogi talked about be­ing aboard a Navy gunboat atthe D-Day invasion. No boast­ing, just telling how it was.That, and reminiscing aboutspring training in the 1940sand the way things were.

I can remember approach­ing Yogi in spring training in1988, working on a story aboutthe dearth of good catchers inthe majors. He was a coachthen for the Houston Astros.

On a morning in Haines City,Florida, hours before an exhi­bition game against the Roy­als, he was standing by him­self in the dugout.

He didn't have an auraaround him, like a SandyKoufax or Reggie Jackson. Hewasn't a huge physical pres­ence, like Dave Winfield orWillie Stargell.

A couple of questions, acouple of quotes — "Maybethey' re scared to catch. Wedidn't know any better" ­

and an impish smile.Simply Yogi, right there.A day after he died, the

tributes poured in from thesports world and beyond.

Atlanta Falcons coach DanQuinn, a New Jersey native,began his regular Wednesday

news conference with a nodto him, even before talkingabout a big upcoming gameagainst the Cowboys.

"I'd like to give a little rec­ognition to Yogi Berra today,"Quinn said. "Anytime you' re a10-time world champion, thatshows what a good careeryou' ve had. That's a stellar ca­reer. What a neat guy."

And as fans traded theirfavorite Yogi-isms, it was niceto see another one emerge,thanks to Johnny Bench. TheReds Hall of Famer posted apicture of a telegram he gotfrom Yogi right after toppinghis mark for home runs by acatcher.

"I knew my record wouldstand," Berra wrote Bench,"until it was broken."

The Sonora Wildcat ju­nior varsity boys' waterpolo team defeated vis­iting Tokay of Lodi 9-1Tuesday night.

Levi Houghton lead theWildcats with five goals.Keanu Perez scored twiceand Connor McCluskeyand Ethan Wright eachscored once.

"We came out from thebeginning with a strongpress on defense andnever looked back," saidWildcat head coach JoshMartin. "Our counterat­tack was solid and wewere very effective out ofthe center."

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A rape in­vestigation involving Chicago Black­hawks star forward Patrick Kane tooka bizarre turn Wednesday when theattorney for the accuser said an emptypaper bag that once held the woman' srape kit had been secretly placed inthe doorway of her mother's home.

Kane's attorney said both sidesin the case have been told that noneof Kane's DNA was found 'from thewaist down" on the woman.

Police officials responded that nopackaging is missing from the rapekit.

"Something seriously has goneamiss," attorney Thomas Eoannoutold reporters during a news confer­ence, where he held up the wrinkledbrown bag that he said pointed to thepossibility of evidence tampering.

He said the woman's mother discov­ered the bag Tuesday afternoon whenshe came home from work for lunch.She found the bag folded up between astorm door and her front door, he said.

It was the first time Eoannou hasspoken publicly about the case that

Pilots blinded by49ers stadium lights

has been the source of intense specu­lation and rumor since early August,when Kane was accused of assault­ing a young woman in his waterfrontmansion after they met at a night­club.

Kane last week said he did nothingwrong and expected to be absolved. Healso apologized for the distraction hehas caused his family, teammates, theBlackhawks organization and fans.

Eoannou said the person that lethe evidence bag did not knock on thedoor or ring the doorbell.

"It could have been there a day anda half," he said, because the womanused the back door when she left forwork that morning.

He said the bag is authentic, labeledwith personal identifying informationfor the woman, details on where therape kit was used and the initials ofthe nurses who administered the kit.

"I have never seen an evidence bagoutside of a police lab, a prosecutor'soffice or a court room, let alone findone in a doorway of a rape victim' smother's home," he said.

Lawyer for Kane accuser: Evidence bag secretly left in door"We' re hoping to find out how this

happened and who had the incentiveto modify or tamper with the evi­dence," he said.

Erie County District AttorneyFrank Sedita said Eoannou's claimwould be investigated. He declinedfurther comment.

The head of the county agency re­sponsible for maintaining evidencein such cases, meanwhile, said every­thing given to the agency by the inves­tigating Hamburg Police Departmentis accounted for.

'This includes the evidence in therape kit and the packaging itself,"Erie County Commissioner of CentralPolice Services John Glascott said ina statement. "This evidence has beenanalyzed and reports of that analysissent to the appropriate agencies."

Hamburg Police promised to coop­erate in any investigation, but stoodby its handling of evidence.

'The Hamburg Police Departmenthas documentation that unequivo­cally demonstrates that its handlingof the evidence and the integrity of

its chain of custody of evidence inthis case is unassailable," a statementfrom the suburban Buffalo depart­ment said.

Eoannou said he wants the FBI orstate police to probe how the bag leftthe custody of investigators. It's notclear how the bag got to the mother' shome or what effect it may have onthe investigation, he said.

An FBI official in Buffalo said theagency does not conduct independentinvestigations on local matters.

"Absent a specific allegation of afederal crime or a request from a lo­cal agency for assistance, the FBI willnot be opening an investigation," As­sistant Special Agent in Charge HollyHubert said.

Kane's attorney, Paul Cambria, saidhe would welcome an investigation ofthe bag incident.

"Only someone who is unhappywith the DNA results would have amotivation to claim that it's compro­mised," Cambria told The AssociatedPress. "We are obviously quite pleasedwith the DNA results."

SANTA CLARA (AP)­Pilot Christina Kurowickiwas preparing to land atSan Jose Mineta Interna­tional Airport in Marchwhen bright light floodedthe cockpit, impairing hernight vision and makingit difficult to see outside.

Kurowicki is one of atleast six commercial pi­lots who have filed com­plaints with the FederalAviation Administrationafter being blinded bybright light coming fromthe 49ers' Levi's Stadiumin Santa Clara, saying it' sa safety hazard, NBC BayArea reported Wednesday.

Last year, the FAA is­sued a safety-alert bulletinfor pilots about the lights.

FAA public affairs man­ager Ian Gregor wrote ina statement that most ofthe reports it reviewedwere when the stadium'sscoreboard was being cali­brated, making it brighterthan usual.

Although the team saysit was not aware of anyincidents since the score­boards were being initiallytested, there was a reportmade in December 2014,after football season waswell underway, the televi­sion station reported.

Players who hit refin alternative school

SAN ANTONIO (AP)­A Texas high school foot­ball coach acknowledgedhe directed two of his play­ers to hit a referee duringa game early this month,according to the school'sprincipal.

In an internal schooldistrict statement, JohnJay High School principalRobert Harris said assis­tant coach Mack Breedtold him he directed thestudents to hit the ref­eree because the ref hadused racial slurs and hadmissed calls. Details fromthe statement were firstreported Wednesday byESPN.

The referee, RobertWatts, has denied usingany slurs.

The coach "wanted totake full responsibility forhis actions. Mr. Breed atone point during our con­versation stated that heshould have handled thereferee himself," Harriswrote in his statement.

The two suspended stu­dents, Michael Morenoand Victor Rojas, appearedWednesday at separatedisciplinary hea r ings,which were closed to thepublic. Both were orderedto complete 75 days in al­ternative school before be­coming eligible to return totheir regular classes Jan.15, according to their at­torney, Jesse Hernandez.Their punishment hadranged from assignmentto an alternative school toexpulsion.

Speaking with reportersafter Wednesday's hearing,Hernandez cited the Breedstatement, saying thatif the two players hadn' tbeen died by the coachand if the referee hadn' tused such language, "theywouldn't have done thisand they regret it."

QUESTIONS dh ATTITUDECompelling questions ... and maybe afew actual answers

I

a Irl.

SPEED F R E A K S

A couple questionswe had to ask — ourselves

Should they put the four Gibbsdrivers in the Homestead finaleand be done with it?

KEN'S CALL: Let's at least gothrough the motions first.ROB'S RAMBLINGS: How about

three and Ryan Newman.Come on, you have to rootfor Newman.

Which non-Chaser, if any, winsone of the final nine races?KEN'S CALL: I'm going withGreg Biffle.ROB'S RAMBLINGS: Let's go

out on a limb here. KyleLarson gets first Cup win atDover.

You keeping up with the XfinitySeries points race?

KEN'S CALL: I know JackRoush is. One of his cars isactually leading that thing.ROB'S RAMBLINGS: ChaseElliott, agruably the bestname for a driver, is just 28points from the lead. I'mrooting.

1. Opportunity knocks

Matt Kenseth holds the points lead after a fifth-place finish thanks to 12 bonus points he earned for hisregulai season victories. UsA TooAY SPoR15 i MIKE oINovo

8 THINGS WE LEARNEDAT CHI CAGOLAND

A restart on Lap 263 of 267shook up the entire race field,and it helped few drivers asmuch as Matt Kenseth. Hespent most of Sunday's racetrying to avoid going a lapdown, but the late restart pro­vided the opportunity for himto rally for a fifth-place finishand the Chase lead. "They gotall bottled up on Turn 1, andI think I passed about eightof them on the first corner,"Kenseth said.

2. The Grand Canyonof holesReigning Sprint Cup cham­pion Kevin Harvick starts thisyear's Chase in a ... well, actu­ally a canyon. Contact fromJimmie Johnson's car follow­ing a Lap 135 restart causedsome damage to Harvick'scar that eventually led to atire losing pressure, and Har­vick wound up in a wall. Hefinished 42nd and would shoveJohnson in a confrontationnear Harvick's motor homeafter the race.

3. Newman again?

ONLIN E E X T R A S

facebook.corn/nascardaytona

Yep, the Winless Wonderis back. If you recall, RyanNewman missed last year' sChase title by about half asecond after making the play­offs without a regular-seasonvictory. We may have to startcalling him Mr. Playoffs,because he's right back in thethick of things again this year— and again without a win.Newman was 14th on the lastrestart, and passed 10 cars towind up in fourth place.

From Chicago to rural New Hampshire? Forthe playoffs?

Yeah, I know, it's hard to get excitedabout the 1-mile New Hampshire MotorSpeedway, which just doesn't seem toarouse much passion among race fans.But sometimes you have to cave to themarketing angle, and you know, Loudonis only about an hour or so from Boston.

'Bostonland'?

We' re buying that one. Absolutely, ifChicago can actually mean Joliet, whichis about 40 miles away, and you adjustby calling it Chicagoland, then why not?Has anyone copyrighted "Bostonland"?No? Even better!

Will Harvick calm down by Sunday?

Let's get this straight. If he'd wanted tofight with Jimmie in Joliet, he could'vedone it. But these guys simply don' tfight. Too rich (i.e., soft) for that. Andmaybe that's a good thing. But still,an aggravated Kevin Harvick is alwaysworth some entertainment points, andalways worth a few extra horsepower,so look for him to contend this weekend.

3. More shoving?

everything in sight (three offour races, to be exact). Kes­elowski actually led the mostlaps in that one.

If Kevin Harvick is out ofcontention early, you haveto ask the question, "Will hestrike back at JJ?" Harvickand Jimmie Johnson had aconfrontation near Harvick'smotor home after Sunday'srace, which was triggeredby contact following a Lap135 restart. Sometimes thesethings are put aside once thenext green flag falls. Some­times not.

Harvick

KEVIN HARVICK VS. JIMMIE JOHNSON:They bumped on the track, and nearlybumped some more in the RV lot afterthe race.KEN WILLIS' TAKE: These are the emo­tions that keep the home fires burningif you' re NASCAR. The Chase will bringplenty of hurt feelings. Just make surethe cameras are focused.
