Report: Three Cal Fire employees disciplined in alleged sex scandal

By GUY McCARTHY The Union Democrat

A Cal Fire assistant chief and captain have been demoted and a fi refighter has been terminated for allegations stemming from investigation of a sex and drinking scandal involving employees at Cal Fire's Mother Lode academy.

Accordingto partially redacted recordsreleased Tuesday by the State Personnel Board: • Former Assistant Chief Scott A. Henry allegedly used his state cell phone to make appointments with escorts to engage in sexual activities in Julyand September 2013, and admitted he used his state vehicle 10 to 12 times to go to a downtown Sacramento hotel tohave sex with paid escorts.

• Former Fire Apparatus Engineer Timothy L. Edgmon allegedly made unwanted sexual advances on a woman, grabbed her hips from behind, attempted to grind his groin in her buttocks, and consumed alcohol while he was on duty at a graduation ceremony in April 2014.

• Former Fire Captain Cole J. Periera consumed alcohol while on duty and observed cadets consuming alcohol while they were on duty at graduation ceremonies in December 2013, February 2014 and March 2014.

Demotions for Henry and Periera and dismissal for Edgmon were efiective Jan. 31. Periera is scheduled to

be reinstatedas a captain on Feb. 1, 2016.

Henry, Edgmon and Periera could not be reached to comment for this report. Edgmon's lawyer said he intends to fight to get his job back.

"There's a lot more to the story," attorney Lina Cockrell, of Sacramento, said Tuesday. "Mr. Edgmon strongly denies all the charges, and he's appealed his termination to the State Personnel Board."

The probe atthe Ione academy stems from a murder investigation involving Orville Fleming, a former Cal Firebattalion chief at the academy. Fleming was arrested in May for allegedly killing his girl&iend, Sarah Douglas, 26. Authorities said Douglas was a paid escort when she and Fleming met two years earlier.

Fleming's wife, Meagan Fleming, told authorities her husband and other firefighters had sex at the academy with prostitutes. She also said she'd seen a videotape of Douglas having

Draining LakeTulloch: Asymptomof decades of failed policy In 1978, the New Melones Reservoirbegan to store water. In 1978, the population of California was 22.8 million people and now it is 39 million, a 42 percent increase.

Since 1978, not one new dam has been constructed that matches the capacities of Melones and the few that were built can store just 60 percent of Melones' capacity. California's water storage capacityis42 millionacre-feetofsurface storage.

Therefore, the state since 1978 has increasedits storage by 3.8 percent while the population has grown by 42 percent.

The problem of insufficient water storage is compounded by environmental schemes that waste water trying to save fish. It is a policy that expert analysis finds does not work.

This policy continues today while California is in a near-unprecedented drought. Over 20 billion gallons

Guest Opinion

In the last week, it has become clearthat these releases arewreaking havoc on the people who live around these reservoirs and the farmers who depend on the water.

Last week the Oakdale Irrigation District warned that Lake Tulloch might have to be drained to meet this federal environmental policy.

Even if it did work, fish have to come after the welfare of people!

Recently a reader of this newspaper wrote a letter to the editor criticizing Congressman Tom McClintock for his work on these issues. In reality it has been our Congressman and some past Congressmen like John Doolittle who have worked for real solutions to California's water needs. They have supported the construction of morewater storage and opposed environmental policies that waste of water have been released since water. The Auburn Dam was killed last spring primarily from Melones and some want to tear down Hetch

PR campaigns and lawsuits have achieved their goals with zero consideration of their impact on people, the economy and even ecology of our communities. Some environmental groups like Earth First now want the releases to "save the

fish"tobe increased by 50 percent immediately! It is noteworthy that these same groups oppose the construction of new dams in the name of saving the environment. Howev-

er,there are many conservationists including the Lake Tulloch Alliance that are sensible and support balance.

The Obama administration's paralysis is not just rhetorical. For the first time since 2001, defense spending will dip below 4 percent of GDP, as the Army, Navy and Air Force shrink to near-r ecord postwar levels.

The astronomical $18 trillion in national debt was not the only cause of military cutbacks. America's enemies understood that even massive defense cuts — and tax hikes — still did not offset vast increases in social spending, resulting in annual deficits that still run over $500 billion.

tional avoidance. The idea is that judges should avoid interpreting a law in a way that raises constitutional problems if there's any other reasonable way to view it.

The dispute focuses on four words in the massive health law, "established by the state," which the challengers say is clear evidence that Congress intended subsidies to go only to people in states that created their own health insurance marketplaces, or exchanges. The idea was tohave a carrot-and-stick approach, the challengers' lawyer, Michael Carvin, said. Congress wanted states to establish their own exchanges and held out generous subsidies to the residents ofthosethatdid.

But Kennedy said such a scheme would raise a serious constitutional question about whether the federal government was trying to coerce the states

The outcome after Wednesday's argument appearstobein thehands oftwoconservative justices — one who voted with the court's four liberals to uphold the law in 2012 and the other who joins the liberals more often, but who would have killed the whole thing three years ago.

If Justice Anthony Kennedy had his way in 2012, there would be no health care case because there would be no Affordable Care Act. Kennedy, whose vote oAen is decisive in cases that divide the court'sliberals and conservatives, was one of four dissenters who would have struck down the entire law. to act.

But on Wednesday, Kennedy at least Kennedy told Carvin that "if your left open the possibility that he would argument isaccepted, the states are not vote the same way again because

He repeated his concern when Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. defended the administration's view that subsidies are available everywhere because Congress did not want a law designed to reduce the number of uninsured Americans to leave people unable to afford insurance based on where they live.

If Carvin is right,"this is just not a rational choice for the states to make and ... they're being coerced," Kennedy said.

"And that you then have to invoke the standard of constitutional avoidance."

Verrilli agreed with Kennedy that he was raising yet another reason for the court to adopt the administration's view.

Not everything the justice said, though, cut in the administration's favor. He told Carvin there may be no other reasonable way to read the provision at issue."It may well be that you're correctas to these words, and there's nothing we can do. I understand that," Kennedy said. He also did not sound being told either create your own ex- persuaded by Verrilli's portrayal of the change or we'll send your insurance law to allow subsidies nationwide.

Two of them had to have their left legs amputated, and all of them spoke in graphic detail. It gave the jury a glimpse of the kind of agonizing testimony they can expect to hear in the coming months.

Washington, which backed the South during the 1950-53 Korean War against the communist North, still stations nearly 30,000 troops here and holds annual military drills with Seoul.

Threatened with a l awsuit, the board reconsidered the resolution in July, but did not substantially change it.

The ACLU argues the resolution endorsed a particular religion, breaching the state constitution.

The board had taken no action since then, before add-

ing the resolution to next Tuesday's meeting agenda, released Wednesday afternoon.

The recommended action, signed by County Administrative Officer Shirley Ryan and County Counsel Megan Stedtfeld, is to rescind the resolution entirely.

Those early olive crops went into olive oil production, but in the early 1900s the industry shifted, as canning technology resulted in higher returns for table olives than for oil. Today, 90 percent of California's olive production is fo r c anned olives, and only 10 percent crushed for oil.

Spain is just the opposite.

It is the world's leading olive producer and grows 90 percent ofits crop for oil and 10 percent for cured olive products. Spain has 5.6 million acres of olives compared to California's 40,000 acres. In California, healthconscious consumers have led a revival in olive oil as a flavorful alternative to vegetable oils.

Our soil is marginal in many areas, but olive trees are very forgiving and tolerant of their growing conditions. Some trees grow for a few hundred years. There are manyvarietiesofolives;

Page mixes peat moss, commercial potting soil (without fertilizer) and vermiculite. She uses a 60/40 mix of the soil and vermiculite.

The vermiculite is included for both water retention and drainage.

It allows water to absorb while maintaining good drainage.

Adding peat moss is good formoisture and givesthe rootssomething tograb ahold of, Page said.

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.com

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, ITMAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IFYOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On March 18, 2015 at 03:30 PM, at the front entrance to the Administration Building, at the County Courthouse complex, 2 S. Green Street Sonora, CA 95370, MTC Financial lnc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on August 14, 2003, as Instrument No. 2003020489, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Tuolumne County, California, executed by BARBARA J. GOETHE, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for AMERICAN MORTGAGE NETWORK, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 12068BRECKENRIDGE ROAD, GROVELAND, CA 95321 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to

pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses ofthe Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee's Sale is estimated to be $154,343.22 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale.

Beneficiary's bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee's Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05001248-14-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Wife's wish for better life not just a phase D EAR ~ : My hu s band and I have been married for 10 years, but I sometimes wonder whether I love him

or am just used to having him around.

We have no kids, and I've started thinking ofhow my life would be without him.

This all began when he first displayed an awful temper. He never gets physically violent, but he hurts me tremendously with the things he says. He pays some of my bills, but always puts his wants and needs before household things that are more important, like fixing the car or filling my prescriptions. I have to walk on eggshells most of the time. When it's a holiday or Valentine's Day, he expects me to get him something, but he never does anything special forme.

My friends think I'm still with him because I'm a&aid to be alone. There are times when I enjoy his company, but not that often. Fm not even sexually attracted to him anymore. Should I continue on because it just might be a phase I'I going through? —TIRED OF IT DEAR TIRED: While all relationships go through ups and downs, yours includes verbal abuse and

what appears to be a total lack of eonsideration. This is not acceptable behavior between loving spouses. If your husband is wiHing to go with you for eounseling and work on this, there is hope for the relationship. If not (and we suspect not), please talk to a counselor on your own and tryto clarify your feelings enough to make decisions about your future. There are worse things than being alone.

DEAR ANNIE: I have a &iend who dominates every conversation. Upon sitting down to eat, she immediately starts talking about whatever is on her mind and never pauses to let anyone else get a word in. She never asks how anyone else is doing. If not interrupted, she can go on for hours.

Ironically, she complains about how her sister talks on and on about herself.

She can see these traits in her siblings,

but doesn' t realize she isjust as bad.

Some days, I feel more like her unpaid therapist than a &iend. Evenings out have become unpleasant to the point that we don't socialize much anymore.

I have two other friends who behave in a similar manner. I notice that all threecome from very large fam ilies,so I wonder whether that contributes to their need for attention. Still, we are in our 50s, and they should be more socially mature by now.

Don't suggest con&onting these people. They would be so offended, I would lose their &iendship forever. I am not looking to change the relationships.

I am writing because I wish each person reading this would ask themselves, "Could this be me?" When you sit down with people, ask how their day was. Listen intently until they are done. Don't interrupt with something you"just have to" tell them. Maybe their conversation isn't fascinating, but neither is yours.

Everyone should be allowed to share and be heard. —BORED IN THE USA DEAR BORED: Amen. Some folks ramble on and on beeause they need to be the center of attention.

Othershave hearing problems and cannot clearly make out the conversationof others.Some fear they will forget what they intended to say if they don't blurt it out immediately. We hope they appreeiate your tolerance.

Anxiety treatment often improves sleep quality DEAR DR. ROACK I need your advice on a new prescription my primary doctor hasgiven me;it'scalledtrazodone, 50 milligrams. I have mild anxiety and trouble staying asleep at night. I've had these pills for almost two weeks, and I'm leery of taking them; I really am concerned about the side effects. Plus, I really am more concerned about the anxiety than not sleeping. There are over-thecounter pills for that. My pharmacist told me these pills are more for sleeping; I really want something that is more for my mood. — KV. ANSWER: There are many medications for anxiety and for sleeping, and the particular choice depends on many factors. The Foodand Drug Administration's indicat ion for trazodone isfor treatment ofdepression;however,many physicians use it "ojI' label" (meaning, without an FDA-approved indication) for sleep disturbance.

Elvis Presley was discharged from the U.S. Army.

Yes, perhaps South can discard his club loser on dummy's fourth diamond.

The best line is to win with dummy's club ace, cash the heart king, and play a heart to declarer's ace. When everyone follows but the queen does not appear, South switches to diamonds. He will get home as long as the opponent with the heart queen has at least three diamonds.

eyes perceive as red absorbs every color except red, which it reflects.

Frequently, white is described as the reflection of all colors, while black isdescribed as the absorption of all colors.

Hue refers to the attribute by which we recognize and describe a color, such as yellow or blue.

Value is defined by the degree of lightness or darkness of a color in relation to white and black. Saturation is the brilliance or dullness of a color; this depends on the amount ofhue in a color.

Primary colors are groups of colors that, when mixed, can produce all other colors. Primary colors cannot be made by other colors.

Red, yellow and blue are examples of primary colors. Secondary colors arecolors that result from a 50 percent mixing of any two primary colors. Orange (red+ yellow), green (yellow + blue), and purple (blue +red) are examples of secondary colors.

A tint is the result of adding white to a color. A shade is the result of adding black to a color. Add gray to a color and you get a tone

colors and their attributes into a visible order. These systems can range from the more simple type, such as the Brewster/Prang color wheel many of us are familiar with that organizescolor pigments into primary, secondary, and tertiary hues. (A tertiary hue is the result of mixing a primary color with a neighboring secondary color. For example, red-orange is the result of mixing primary red with secondary orange, and so forth.)

A more comprehensive color system was developed in the early 1900s by Albert H. Munsell.

Based around hue, value, and chroma (another word for saturation), Munsell created a threedimensional model in the form of a sphere. The hues are arranged a round the perimeter of t h e sphere.Value is designated by a pole that runs through the sphere from top to bottom with the lightest value at the top to the darkest value at the bottom. Chroma iden-

color temperature has more to do with the undertone of the hue. A hue with a yellow or brown undertone tend toward warm colors

as opposed to a hue with a blue undertone that tends toward cool colors. Compare the warm visual temperature of a luscious lime green (with undertones of yellow) to the cool visual temperature of a refreshing mint green (with undertones ofblue). Whites and grays have color temperatures, too.

Color schemes are formulated by turning color combinations into a set of rules for an interior palette. When color is not tied to a material (more on this in a moment), there are six "classic" color schemes.

• Monochromatic uses a single color in a variety of saturations and values.

• Analogoususes colors directly adjacent on the color wheel to the chosen color. The prime color serves as the dominant color in tifies the color as it moves inward this scheme. from the perimeter band to the • Complementary is a high-convalue pole.

• Split Complementary is a variation on the complementary scheme that pairs the chosen color with two adjacent colors of the chosen color's complement.

• Triadic is another high-contrast scheme that uses colors equally spaced around the color wheel.

• Tetradic uses two complementarycolorpairs.Proportions ofthe colors for a complex scheme such as this must be chosen thoughtfully in order to maintain visual balance.

Materials have qualities of absorption, reflectance, and luminance that the abstract systems

of color do not take into account.

Materials might contain many layers of colors, with a variety of colors occurring within a single material sample (picture a granite countertop). To simplify, color in interior design can be divided into two distinct categories:color as an applied surface (like paint) and color as integral to a material (like concrete).

OLIVES Continued from Page Bl this area. Ascolano has large fruit and is the most cold hardy. The oil is very aromatic. Manzanillo, which is the main variety used for the black "California" style olive, is also grown in this area. This medium-sized tree is susceptible to cold injury.

If you want oil, try Arbequina. This variety from northern Spain produces a very high quality of fruity oil.

Frantoio, an Italian variety, is used as one of the main ingredients in gourmet olive oil production.

Many olive oils are blends of several varieties of olives. The Mission varietyof olive can be used foreither table fruit or oil. This tall tree is very coldtolerant.

If you do decide to grow olives, here are a few tips for backyard olive production: • In the winter dormant season, spray with fixed copper to prevent peacockspot,especially in wet years.

• Trees should be pruned during the bloom period. To reduce alternate bearing, remove more shoots from trees with heavy bloom and skip trees with light bloom.

• Fertilize mature trees with 2 pounds of urea or 50 pounds of compost.

• Begin irrigating trees so there is no water stress during bloom.

• As the season moves to summer,

control weeds with organic mulch or cultivation, especially on young trees.

• Fertilize young trees with one ounce of urea under each drip emitter once per month from May to September. Apply drip irrigation every day accordingto water use requirements.

• Harvest season is in the fall. For table fruit, harvest when the fruit is still green, just before the straw-yellow stage. For oil, harvest when the fruit has turned black on the outside but the flesh is still green/yellow.

• Continue irrigation right up to harvest if weather is dry; do not allow fruit to shrivel.

• Again, applyfixed copper to prevent peacock spotbefore the first m ajor fallrains.Wash copper offfruit priorto processing or apply copper to treesafterharvest.

Olive trees generally do well here in the Mother Lode. You can find several estates with plentiful trees that produce very good products for the consumer.

Best of all,the olive tree isdrought tolerant.

Darian Skellenger recorded a hat trick and Mali PetersonWood added a pair of goals to lead the Summerville Bears girls' soccer team to a 7-2 victory on Tuesday over Bear Creek, of Stockton, at Thorsted Field in Tuolumne.

The Bears got their season started fast. Just three minutes into the match, PetersonWood booted a wellplaced through ball to Skellenger, who finished with a shot to the left post on the ground.

Skellenger added her second goal 20 minutes in on a penalty kick. Libby DustinRimmer earned the foul in the penalty box.

DustinRimmer got her own goal five minutes later after she one-touched a PetersonWood pass.

Bear Creek got on the scoreboard a few minutes later, but Summerville answered before the end of the first half.

Skellenger attacked the right side of the field and crossed a pass to PetersonWood, who had madea run,and shefi nished fora 4-1lead at intermission.

Eighteen minutes into the second half, Bear Creek trimmed Summerville's lead to 4-2.

But 4 minutes later, the Bears repsonded with PetersonWood's second goal. After the senior dribbled around a defender, she smacked a hard grounder into the net from around 12 yards. Teska Hapig-Ward set up PetersonWood with a cross-field pass.

A few minutes later, Hapig-Ward hit a corner that got deflected back to her. She then one-touches a shot over the goalie &om around

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Buster Posey gotoffto a strong startas he doubled in two runs and walked in his first appearance of the SprlIlg.

But Josh Reddick had three hits and drove in a pair of runs in leading the Oakland Athletics to a 9-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.

"There's always that anxiousness to the first time," Posey said. Everything felt good. To me, it's about mentally being there more than anything, try to get something out of it and not go through the motions."

Jake Peavey worked an inning for the Giants, giving up two runs and four hits. Casey McGehee added two hits.

Marcus Semien had two hits and drove in three, giving him seven RBIs in his first two exhibition games, all against the Giants. He has more RBIs than the Giants have as a team.

Jesse Chavez went two scoreless innings for the A's. He gave up two hits, walked one and struck out one.

For the second straight day, the A's jumped on a Giants starter early. In the top of the first, Sam Fuld, Reddick and Ike Davis each singled

MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Pat Venditte is used to it by now.

Teammates, coaches and others regularly stop him for a chance to check out ' his one-ofa-kind glove, the same one he has used foryears featuring space for either hand.

Venditte is a rare switchpitcher. He hopes that versatility will make him a perfect fit for an Oakland club that values it so much.

While there is i n trigue with his unique ability, Venditte is determined to make his mark at Athletics spring training with little fanfare and do whatever he can to find a spot at the highest level in the organization.

Melvin played in Boston with ambidextrous pi t cher Greg Harris, the only one in the modern era to throw in a major league game with both hands.

New A's designated hitter Billy Butler stood in against Venditte the other day.

"He's got every arm angle there is, they say," Butler said.

"I've only seen him throw from the left side. I haven't met any ambidextrous guys.

I've been playing baseball for a long time now, and it's one of those things that's very unique. I can't do anything left-handed, and I'm really good at doing stuff righthanded. That just shows you the type of talent he has to be able to do both."

The 29-year-old Venditte has done his share of explaining his fancy mitt and talent to do his job with both arms.

He would rather show everyone by finally earning his shot to pitch in a big league game.

Korach sent an open letter to the A's community. "I've been holding out hope that I can make it to Arizona for the first spring training broadcast, but now I know that I won't make

There's even a rule inspired

by Venditte, who pitched in college at Creighton.

In his 2008 debut with the Staten Island Yankees, Brooklyn switch-hitter Ralph Enriquez came to the plate to hit right-handed, so Venditte prepared to throw with his right. When Enriquez switched to the left side, so did Venditte.

The infuriating back-andforth went on until they each were told to go &om the right.

A day later, baseball ruled that pitchers using both hands must decide which arm they're going to use before an at-bat.

So, how'd Vogt do against Venditte back in the day?

"I don't remember," Vogt said, then added, "probably not good, because he's really good left-handed. The way he has continued to do it over the years, it'sreally fun towatch."

Westbrook 1st since M3 with 4 straight triple-doubles OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Russell Westbrook became the first player since Michael Jordan in 1989 to have four consecutive triple-doubles, according to STATS, and the first since Jordan that year to have back-to-back t r i ple-doubles with at least 40 points.

Westbrook set career highs with 49 points and 16 rebounds, and added 10 assists, helping the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Philadelphia76ers123-118 in overtime Wednesday night.

Jordan had seven straight triple-doubles and 10 in an 11-game span in 1989 for Chicago.

It was the most points by any player with a triple-double since Larry Bird also had 49 in 1992.

Westbrook wore a mask and a headband after &acturing a bone in his right cheek Friday night against Portland. He had surgery Saturday and missei a game Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask —ourselves

Jimmie seems OK with the start of the 2015 season.

Did NASCAR's train leave something behind at the station?

Gordon's hit at Atlanta exposes an ongoing problem

Yes, and unfortunately, inside that steamer trunk is all the momentum NASCAR was carrying from the end of 2014. The Boys in the Corner Offices were riding a big high after Homestead in November, which is natural,

What is the one thing NASCAR really, really dislikes?

Having an elephant in the room. And right now, there is a pachyderm onthe patio.

We're talking about the lack of steel and foam energy-reduction structures — better known as the SAFER barrier.

Kyle Busch fractured a leg and foot when his Xfinity Series car struck a concrete wall at Daytona on Feb. 21. The 29-yearold driverrequired surgery in Daytona Beach before being flown backhome to Charlotte for more surgery last week.

Make no mistake,every major NASCAR oval track has SAFER barrier installed in obvious crash areas, but for the second week in a row, a driver found oneconcrete bald spot thought to be impervious to wreckage.

Jeff Gordon found that little exposed area during the Cup Seriesrace Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Adding insult

to non-injury, his No. 24 Chevy struck at a point of infield concrete wall just beyond where the SAFER barrier ends.

You couldalmost hear Agent Maxwell Smart musing, "Missed it by THAT much!"

It was Lap 256, and this car got into that car and got into Gordon, who kissed pure, Grade-A, American concrete.

He was not injured. "It (the hit) wouldn't have been too bad except that I found that one spot where there's no SAFER barrier," Gordon said. "I can't believe it. That's amazing to me."

Atlanta race winner Jimmie Johnson has a solution to NASCAR's wall woes.

"We just need to send Jeff out on the track and find the places to put them," Johnson said with a grin. "That guy will find the openings."

Track bar: Cup drivers play with their new cockpit toy at Atlanta NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers got a new toy to play with at Atlanta Motor Speedway. For the first time in stock-car history, drivers could adjust the track bar from their seat in the cockpit. Here was some of the driver feedback from Sunday's race.

DALE EARNHARDT JR.:"I've been messing with it a lot. I haven't found it to be anything that sets the world on fire. Actually moving

it down really just hurts my car.

Moving it up made the back swing a little bit too much. I never used it and got happy about it. It might work a little better at some other tracks, particularly the ones that have a ton of grip where you can kind of tweak it a little bit here and there, feel the balance change. At a place like this, moving it didn't seem to make abig deal."

CARL EDWARDS:"I was actually

really pleased with the track bar adjustment stuff. I thought that was pretty fun, and it worked for us — our Toyota responded to it. I didn't think that would be much of a big deal, but it really was."

JOEY LOGANO:"Yeah, we used the heck out of it today, and I'm sure everybody did. I was able to fix most of it, not all of it, but most of it I could fix in the car and the rest of it is up to (crew chief) Todd

Gordon, and hegot me a decent

balance by the end."

TREVOR BAYNE:"Itm akes some difference, but not for what I needed today."

MARTIN TRUEX JR.:"I thought it was great. I used it all day. I thought it was something neat to play with.

We made a decision last night to drop ours a little bit for the start of the race. Had we not had that adjustment,we would have been

in big trouble. It helped us a lot today just having that. We were up and down, back and forth, with it.

It depended on what we were doing with tires and stuff. I thought it was a great little tool. It wasn't like you were going to go from a 10thplace car to winning the race with it. But it was something there that you couldtune on to make your

car more comfortable on shorter and longer runs."
