Established in 2013, Parrot Planet evolved from a parrot rescue service, the Wing Foundation (www.thewingfoundation.org). Dana Strome, an ardent parrot lover and parrot advocate, is a founder of both services. Over a period of 20 years, Strome has rescued and rehomed over 800 parrots at her sole expense, with no re-homing fees required. Strome saw that too often parrots were sold with little to no regard for either their or their human counterparts’ compatibility, welfare, or environment. This often contributed to many of the parrots ultimately having to find new homes. From this came a call to action resulting in the advocating of “The Parrot Bill of Rights,” exclusion of certain parrots for sale, and the evolution of a completely new breed of parrot retail venue—Parrot Planet. “The store is amazing and parents always bring their children in because it is really like a zoo and fun for them to interact with the parrots and get some education from the staff, including me, who volunteers and I absolutely love it. It is very therapeutic for me to be there helping and bathing birds and giving them attention,” said Walter. Parrot Planet has a cage-free philosophy and allows the birds, rescues, and babies raised in house to be out on manzanita stands where they can socialize and interact will store visitors. There is a section for the rescue birds called Rescue Island where people specifically looking to adopt can visit and get to know these birds. Walter volunteers at Parrot Planet about 20 hours a week on top of working full time because she really feels there is a need to help these parrots. At Parrot Planet, these birds are taken in, cared for, housed, and taken to the vet. Potential adopters are interviewed and have to fill out an adoption contract; often, a home check is conducted to make sure the new home is suitable for the parrots. There are also parrots available for adoption that are handicapped or damaged in some Continued on page 4 Maya Spiteri (above) is the niece of Parrot Planet volunteer Sara Walter.

Carroll first took office as the first Rancho Cordova Postmaster. Martel will raise her right hand to take the official oath of office as the new Rancho Cordova Postmaster at a 10 a.m. ceremony at the Rancho Cordova Post Office, 10923 Progress Ct., Rancho Cordova, CA 95670. In her last official act as the Sacramento District Manager, Barbara Plunkett will administer the oath of office. Martel began her postal career in 1979 as a city letter carrier in New York, one of the first females to carry mail there. In 1982, she began her management career as a supervisor in Novato, CA. She held numerous management positions in mail processing, customer service, and marketing. As the new Rancho Cordova Postmaster, Martel oversees 87 employees who process and deliver a daily volume of more than 125,000 pieces to 30,631 delivery points (addresses) on 49 city routes and to 1,699 Post Office boxes. Photo courtesy of United States Postal Service “I feel honored to be an integral part of this community,” said Martel. “Serving the community of Rancho Cordova and providing the best possible mail service will be my focus.” Martel enjoys cycling, cooking, traveling, reading and skiing. She and her husband, Mike, reside in Rancho Murieta. They have two sons, Michael and Marc. Continued on page 12 Churches Conclude Four-Week Winter Shelter Story and photo by Margaret Snider RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - The Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter of Rancho Cordova is all about the people being served. Dono Mitchell (65) is a Vietnam veteran and was a welder for 25 years; he has been homeless for three years. “This is a top-ofthe-list program,” Mitchell said. “They get into your spiritual part. They want to know what you’re doing. A lot of places don’t care.” Mitchell said that it has been difficult for him to stay in one place, but he’s not getting any younger. “Although the program stops tomorrow, it’s not going to get any warmer,” Mitchell said. “It’s just the beginning of winter, so I don’t know what I’m going to do.” Inez Reyes of St. John Vianney Catholic Church and Fay Kerekes of United Methodist Church of Rancho Cordova, and others, provided intake processing during the four weeks of shelter at Rancho Cordova host churches. The program began on schedule and ran for four weeks, providing food, comfort, and shelter from the cold for some of the local homeless and overcoming several challenges including being without a central intake site. Undeterred from their goal, the group processed their guests each day at the host sites. Inez Reyes of St. John Vianney Catholic Church and Fay Kerekes of United Methodist Church of Rancho Cordova handled the evening intake every day of the program, helped by Nan Traud of Sun River Church, and others, working at the different sites each week. Karen Edwards of Sun River Church, one of the main organizers and promoters of the program, said that having a central intake site would have provided a stable location for patrons to gather and a set time for beginning and ending each day’s shelter. It would also have avoided the confusion of the patrons about where to go each week. “I really believe we cannot operate next year without an intake site,” said Edwards. The program was able to cover only four of the eight weeks they had planned, with only four churches volunteering to be host sites: St. John Vianney Catholic Church, Cordova Neighborhood Church, Sun River Church, and Cordova Church of Christ. However, the group hopes to increase the span of time covered next year. “There are 50-something congregations in the Rancho Cordova area,” said Larry Stafford, associate minister specializing in outreach and involvement for Cordova Church of Christ. “Right here on Coloma Road we have 12, so we should be able to make very good inroads on the problem.” Stafford invited other church Continued on page 13 www.RanchoCordovaIndependent.com 2 • The Independent January 30, 2015 Taekwondo Championships IRS Phone Scams Continue to Be a Serious Threat at Memorial Auditorium SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - The Martial artists from schools across the western states, including students from 17 regional Robinson’s Taekwondo locations will compete in the event and spectacular special guest are set to demonstrate techniques and weapons.

Sustainable seafood is either caught wild or farmed in ways that consider the long-term vitality of harvested species and the wellbeing of the oceans. Raley’s new sustainable symbol indicates that seafood has been sourced from certified fisheries or farm programs. Raley’s does not purchase species that are threatened and have no credible improvement plan such as sharks, tuna from certain nations, and spiny lobsters, to name a few. Raley ’s new sustainable symbol indicates that seafood has been sourced from certified fisheries or farm programs. Image courtesy of Raley’s “As part of Raley’s ongoing efforts to infuse life with health and happiness, our sustainable seafood involves working with trusted fisheries and fishermen, ensuring that seafood is sourced responsibly and ethically,” said Koen Vermeylen, Raley’s seafood expert. Currently, approximately 80% of all seafood sold at Raley’s is sustainable, with a goal of December 2017 for all fish to be 100% sustainably sourced. The company’s seafood staff has undergone extensive training to answer customer questions about sustainability.

Source: Raley’s H Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced that aggressive and threatening phone calls by criminals impersonating IRS agents remain near the top of the annual Dirty Dozen list of tax scams for the 2015 filing season. The IRS has seen a surge of these phone scams in recent months as scam artists threaten police arrest, deportation, license revocation, and other things. The IRS reminds taxpayers to guard against all sorts of con games that arise during any filing season. “If someone calls unexpectedly claiming to be from the IRS with aggressive threats if you don’t pay immediately, it’s a scam artist calling,” said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. “The first IRS contact with taxpayers is usually through the mail. Taxpayers have rights, and this is not how we do business.” The Dirty Dozen is compiled annually by the IRS and lists a variety of common scams taxpayers may encounter any time during the year. Many of these con games peak during filing season as people prepare their tax returns or hire someone to do so. This year, for the first time, the IRS will issue the individual Dirty Dozen scams one at a time to raise consumer awareness. Phone scams top the list this year because it has been a persistent and pervasive problem for many taxpayers for many months. Scammers are able to alter caller ID numbers to make it look like the IRS is calling. They use fake names and bogus IRS badge numbers. They often leave “urgent” callback requests. They prey on the most vulnerable people, such as the elderly, newly arrived immigrants, and those whose first language is not English. Scammers have been known to impersonate agents from IRS Criminal Investigation as well. “These criminals try to scare and shock you into providing personal financial information on the spot while you are off guard,” Koskinen said. “Don’t be taken in and don’t engage these people over the phone.” The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has received reports of roughly 290,000 contacts since October 2013 and has become aware of nearly 3,000 victims who have collectively paid over $14 million as a result of the scam, in which individuals make unsolicited calls to taxpayers fraudulently claiming to be IRS officials and demanding that they send them cash via prepaid debit cards. Protect Yourself As telephone scams continue across the country, the IRS recently put out a new YouTube video with a renewed warning to taxpayers not to be fooled by imposters posing as tax agency representatives. The new Tax Scams video describes some basic tips to help protect taxpayers from tax scams. These callers may demand money or may say you have a refund due and try to trick you into sharing private information. These con artists can sound convincing when they call. They may know a lot about you. The IRS reminds people that there are easy ways to tell that a supposed IRS caller is a fake. Here are five things the scammers often do but the IRS will never do; any one of these five things is a tell-tale sign of a scam: The IRS will never call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill. The IRS will never demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe. The IRS will never require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card. The IRS will never ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. The IRS will never threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying. If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money, here’s what you should do: If you know you owe taxes or think you might owe, call the IRS at (800) 829-1040. The IRS workers can help you with a payment issue. If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to believe that you do, report the incident to the TIGTA at (800) 366-4484 or at www.tigta.gov. If you’ve been targeted by this scam, also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at www.FTC.gov. Please add “IRS Telephone Scam” to the comments of your complaint. Remember, too, the IRS does not use email, text messages, or any social media to discuss your personal tax issue involving bills or refunds. For more information on reporting tax scams, go to www.irs.gov and type “scam” in the search box. Additional information about tax scams is available on IRS social media sites, including YouTube at www.youtube.com/ irsvideos and Tumblr at www.internalrevenueservice.tumblr.com, where people can search “scam” to find all the scam-related posts.

This luncheon features a business guppy that grew to be a big fish and how every entrepreneur can benefit from the lessons Chris learned along the way. The lessons include perseverance (Mark Cuban called him a fool early on), persuasiveness, knowing your numbers, the value of getting out and pitching your own product, and as his father taught him, always have two dreams. Chris will talk about being an entrepreneur at an early age in the Sacramento region and how his faith in Jesus Christ drives his passions to help others.

Walter herself recently rescued an abused Macaw in poor health and is slowly nursing him back to health with the help of a wonderful Avian Vet. “We consistently receive, on average, one bird per week every month that are surrendered to us. On occasion, they are left in boxes in front of our store. We do ask that people wait until we open to bring them safely inside. Some of the reasons they are surrendered are because they have behavior problems, their owners have died and the family brings them in, or the owners’ life circumstances have changed and they can no longer care for the parrots, and some parrots we receive are rescued because of abuse and neglect.” Parrot Planet volunteer Sara Walter loves caring for birds. She is pictured here with Ariel the Toucan. Photo courtesy of Sara Walter Marshall and Marty are both Blue and Gold Macaws who were recently adopted. They actually both chose their owners and demanded in their own ways to be taken home, which is a very common action for parrots. Blue and Gold Macaws are native to South America. Marty was found hanging around in a backyard missing a lot of feathers, which are now growing back, and Marshall was surrendered to Parrot Planet. They are both enjoying life being spoiled in their new homes. Photo courtesy of Sara Walter Parrot Planet doesn’t receive many donations, so volunteers run the program with their own money.

From the Mayor’s Corner Operating in the Black Bob McGarvey Looking back at our first 11½ years, it is easy to say that the City of Rancho Cordova has set some records that will be very hard to beat for a long time. We won the title of "All America City" in competition with cities across the nation – and that was only seven years after we incorporated and became a city. “Fortune” magazine has chosen our city as one of the top 25 places to work (small business category) in the United States for three years in a row. We have been operating in the “black” all 11½ years of our existence. Even with the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, we kept our heads and balanced our budgets. This year we are going to open the Folsom Lake College campus on Folsom Boulevard and Paseo Drive and we will be opening the new Performing Arts Theater on the Cordova High School campus. We are building the Mather Veterans Village where there are going to be 100 new apartments for Veterans. There will be critically needed housing options and supportive services in the building. The Mather Veterans Village is in an ideal location because it is only one block from the VA Hospital. In addition to the permanent housing apartments, there will be 60 temporary beds on the second story of the rebuilt infirmary building as a place for Veterans to rest and to learn what is available for them and what they, as Veterans, are eligible for. All the above mentioned and more are offered and received by the business owners and the residents of the City of Rancho Cordova. There is, unfortunately, another record that we are receiving (and sharing with the rest of the State) and that is a record drought. It is forcing all of us to be very creative and cautious about how we are to move forward with our current and future plans. The current plans include building new businesses and new homes as well as offering our help to those businesses and residents who are already here to continue to be successful in all their endeavors. All of us need to pay attention to the hackers who continually try to take the lives we have built over the years away from us. We are very fortunate to have our IT people, Jay Hadley and his crew, who continually work to protect our City from those who will do whatever they can to destroy as much as they can. You never know when you might be surprised. I read in a magazine about a customer who went to a very expensive restaurant and asked the waiter, "What is the catch of the day?” The waiter with a big smile said, “You are!"

By Pam Young The definition for “loser” depends on the circumstance in which a loser finds him or herself. One definition has to do with losing at a sport, gambling or some kind of game or competition. I’m the first one to say it sucks to lose, but if we’ve been raised by loving people who taught us how to be good losers, we spare ourselves being the “bad sport.” So you lost at Monopoly and landed on Park Place laden with hotels, or you didn’t win the Miss America contest; boo hoo, big deal. It’s not like you fell off or climbed down from some social ladder, but you’re still considered a loser. Anyway, that’s not the kind of loser this column is about. SHEs Lose I know for sure we SHEs (Sidetracked Home Executives) are losers, because we spend a lot of our valuable time looking for stuff. As SHEs, we’ve had a lot of experience calling the Lost & Found department in various establishments like hotels, restaurants, theatres, airports etc. and like the guy who doesn’t take car maintenance seriously and becomes known by the local towing company in town, SHEs usually get to know the Lost & Found people in familiar institutions like the building at work, the kids’ school, your school, your gym etc. I want to share two ways to curb the search for your stuff. Curb the search by establishing a home for the stuff you most frequently lose. Just think how much time you spend each year looking for your stuff! (It’s probably at least a couple of days.) It seems easier at the time to just put those items down somewhere, or out of sight in a drawer, because there aren’t dedicated places to put them. When you establish homes for each individual item, you’re on your way to curbing those mad searches, usually when you’re in a hurry. If we minded the rule “A place for everything and everything in its place,” we’d never have to search for our glasses, car keys, purse, coat, cell phone, shoes, scissors, or tweezers again. To break the cycle of losing things and finding homes for stuff you want to keep, I suggest you use your imagination. 1. Use Drama and be a Romantic If you’re a romantic, you could pretend to be Cupid. For example, take an item that you tend to spend a lot of time looking for, your car key for instance. Pretend you’re a matchmaker and you’re going to hook up Miss Car Key with Mr. Wooden Peg and Mr. Right Pocket (that place in your purse where you are going to put Miss Key whenever you’re out with your car). As a matchmaker, you can relish seeing them together and be so happy for the new couple, that every time you see them together you feel like Cupid. Awwwww. 2. Be the Care-Giver Or, here’s another idea. If you think of Miss Key as a real person who’s directionally challenged, or a child who needs your compassion and help to on Saturday, February 14th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The sales will be at the Rancho Cordova Library located at 9845 Folsom Blvd. in Sacramento.

Think of it as a “keysare-people-too” concept. Say to your car key, “Okay Miss Key, I’m going to find two homes for you this very minute. At home, it’s going to be a convenient spot so when I head for the car you’ll be right there in my face. When I get out of the car after I’ve driven somewhere, I’m going to choose a home for you in my purse where you’ll always go.” Once you’ve established homes for the common things you tend to lose, the stories you’ve attached to them will help you practice using the new homes until they are second nature for you. Once you’ve considered yourself as a caregiver for your often lost items, leaving any of them in the wrong place would be like a mom leaving her toddler at the mall. It may take about 21 days before you’ll stop leaving things where they don’t belong, but if you keep remembering you’re Cupid or the Care-Giving, you’ll gradually establish the habit of putting things back where they belong.

Before you complete your online purchase, please establish a “secure” connection. Buy this alarm system or firearm to keep your loved ones “secure.” Our borders are porous and must be “secured.” Terrorists are planning horrendous acts, thus, everyone has to go through “security.” Buy this software; it will keep your passwords, personal identity, and banking information safe and “secure.” This election vote for the President, Senator, Congressman, or Dogcatcher that will keep the nation “secure.” So much for the days when there was “nothing to fear but fear itself.” Now there is everything to fear. Thus cars, computers, houses, politicians, pharmaceuticals, and wars are all marketed with fear as the motivating factor. Nowhere is this more evident than when it comes to economics. But to tell you the truth, if you are trusting your money to keep you “secure,” you probably should be afraid; it will never give you peace of mind. Don’t get me wrong. We all need a few dollars to keep food on the table, a roof over our heads, and pay the bills. Even a handful of investments, mutual funds, and IRAs are good for as far as they go. They just can’t go far enough. Why? Because once you have a little pile of dough you have to go on guard duty. You go into perpetual protection mode, always on the wall, always peering out at the economic boogeymen, always defending, hedging, and hoarding. This produces mind-racing, palmsweating, turf-defending worry, something about as far from contentment as one can get. It’s as elemental as this: Our level of peace will depend upon what we depend upon, no more and no less. If the source of our security and well-being is this world’s economic promises, we should hire better money managers, take more medication, and stuff more gold coins under our mattresses. But if our subsistence is Christ, then no, life will not be easy, but the source of his strength is endless and the peace he offers surpasses all understanding. Now, this doesn’t mean we build a bunker, stack canned goods, and buy an arsenal. That’s nothing but fear and anxiety run amok. No, we joyfully live in this world, but recognize it for how fragile it is. We see that ultimately it cannot meet our deepest needs. That responsibility belongs to God, because it’s not a matter of “if” our stockpiles will fail us, it’s a matter of “when.” That’s not fear mongering, it’s simply stating that trusting Christ to give us what we need and sustain us is not near as dangerous as trusting a system that is bound to collapse. To that end, a late friend of mine was a Word War II veteran who fought for General Patton. He helped liberate a number of concentration camps, was in Germany when the unconditional surrender was tendered in 1945, and on those rare moments when he spoke of the war, he told mind bending stories. One such story involved his tank unit, late in the war, after it had crossed the Rhine River and was deep into Germany. Patton was moving at blazing speed, as was his style, so US forces had to forage from the land around them, as they were often without basic supplies. One severe shortage was paper goods, and war or not, this was a crisis. So the servicemen began using German Reichsmarks, the German currency, as toilet paper. twenties, fifties, thousands - it didn’t matter the denomination - it was just paper. The currency that had driven the finances of Europe, that had financed the effort for world domination was now worthless, useful only for the latrines and as kindling to start fires. My old friend would tell that story, belly laugh at the memory of it, but would then make the same point each and every time: “Money, in the end, ain’t worth much, ‘cept for wipin’ your end.” I think he was right.

H Annual Sacramento Museum Day Back With Discounts SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - Imagine. Explore. Discover. To the delight of the greater Sacramento area community, 25-five local museums will offer free or halfpriced admission from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, February 7th during the 17th Annual Sacramento Museum Day. During the highly anticipated event, most of the nearly 25 museums will offer free admission while two additional destinations located in residential areas — the Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town — will offer halfpriced admission to offset traffic control and security costs. Coordinated by the Sacramento Association of Museums (SAM) and the Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau, Sacramento Museum Day is a popular cultural tradition designed to encourage all members of the community to experience the capital city’s incredible wealth of art, history, science, and wildlife at little or no cost. Many of the museums are within walking distance of each other and easily accessible via public transportation. Event coordinators suggest that guests plan to visit no more than two or three different museums throughout the day in order to allow adequate time to enjoy the experience and to travel between individual sites. In addition to offering free or reduced cost admission, many of the destinations are offering special activities during Sacramento Museum Day. These offers include an open cockpit day at the Aerospace Museum of California where most aircraft will be open for viewing (weather permitting). The Aerospace Museum will also hold a children’s art contest. Also, the Masonic Service Bureau will be onsite at the Discovery Museum Science & Space Center, providing free electronic fingerprints of children for their parents while the Sacramento History Museum will offer handson gold panning activities for kids, and the crowd favorite Sacramento Children’s Museum mascot, Leo, will make special appearances throughout the day. The Old Sacramento Schoolhouse Museum will get into the spirit by serving cake to celebrate the birthday of Laura Ingalls Wilder and marking the anniversary of Sacramento’s first public school in February 1854. “Every year is unique and offers new discoveries for guests to explore on Sacramento Museum Day,” said Sacramento Association of Museums Chair Kristina Swanson. “With a variety of participating museums located from Woodland to Roseville, we’re pleased to introduce interested community members to the amazing array of arts, culture, and museum offerings available in the greater Sacramento region.” While admission will be free at most of the participating museums during Sacramento Museum Day, admission to two destinations located in residential areas are half priced as follows: Sacramento Zoo will cost $6 for adults, $4 for children ages 2-11, and free for children under two; Fairytale Town is $2.75 per person and free for children ages one and under. Due to the popularity of Sacramento Museum Day, some locations must limit the number of admissions for safety reasons. The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. but the last guests will be admitted to museums at 4 p.m. More detailed information about participating museums, addresses, limitations, suggested parking, and public transit options are available at www.sacmuseums.org (click on “Events”) or by calling the Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau at (916) 808-7777. “We’d like to thank our new sponsors—Bank of America and Sacramento Covered—for helping us to present this important event and introduce the community to the amazing array of arts, culture, and museum offerings available in the greater Sacramento region,” said Swanson. Sacramento Museum Day 2015 is also supported by active and engaged media partners including KSEG 96.9 FM, Outword Media, and STAR 106.5 FM.

The network chiefs fully realize that FOX now languishes in fourth place and its ratings are challenged, but nonetheless Newman expressed optimism, noting the way to turn things around is to “do the hard work, get in business with the best talent, support their visions, focus on one time period at a time.” Though the hip-hop music industry drama “Empire” just recently debuted, the network chiefs were only too pleased to inform the winter gathering of the nation’s TV critics in sunny Pasadena that the freshman show has already been renewed for a second season. Not all is bleak at FOX as “Gotham” has proved to be one of the rare hits that keeps growing its audience, while the wacky dysfunctional crew in New York’s 99th police precinct in “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” now in its second season, delivers one of the true bright spots in the comedy lineup. “Bones” has been on the air longer than anyone can remember, and the fact that Hart Hanson, the creator of that series, is hoping for another knockout success with the comedic crime procedural “Backstrom” is not out of the realm of possibility, even though it may be a challenge for a series to thrive where the central character is so patently unlovable. Loosely based on a series of books written by Swedish author Leif GW Persson, “Backstrom” is an Americanized version of a subversive crime procedural in which the titular character is an offensive, irascible and unhealthy detective who just happens to see the worst in everyone as he goes about the business of solving crimes. Lt. Everett Backstrom, played effortlessly by Rainn Wilson, who managed to torment his colleagues in the long-running series “The Office” as an obsessive paper salesman, has returned from disgrace to lead Portland’s newly-minted Special Crimes Unit, which is tasked with navigating the city’s most sensitive and serious cases. Oddly enough, Backstrom seems to be completely incapable of handling sensitive matters of any kind. This is a man with no filter, taking an offensive attitude to a new level with his persistently loutish behavior. An unrepentant misogynist, Backstrom has no qualms about expressing sexist and racist opinions. The interesting dynamic is that, though Backstrom doesn’t play well with others, the outlandish detective must work with a diverse team of colleagues, from the idealistic young female detective Nicole Gravely (Genevieve Angelson) to veteran case-closer and part-time pastor Sgt. John Almond (Dennis Haysbert). Backstrom is not only grumpy and ornery, but he’s been given orders by his doctor to “make a friend” so as to improve his health. Well, he’s also told to Kevin Kitrell Ross A positive path for spiritual living Senior Minister/CEO Unity of Sacramento Host, Design Your Life on UnityOnlineRadio.org Coach to America’s Rising Stars eat more vegetables, and neither instruction is likely to be followed. If Backstrom has any friend at all, it may be his roommate Gregory Valentine (Thomas Dekker), a weird character in his own right, who appears to be the detective’s connection to the seedy underworld of Portland flowing with drugs and prostitution. Other colleagues in Backstrom’s orbit include the quirky forensics expert Sgt. Peter Niedermayer (Kristoffer Polaha), good-guy Officer Frank Moto (Page Kennedy), and civilian informant Nadia (Beatrice Rosen), a Russian native oddly well-connected. The success of “Backstrom” seemingly depends on the ability of Rainn Wilson’s character to be funny enough with his sarcasm and quips so that he’s not completely eclipsed by the detective’s offensive behavior. He’s not so politely described as coming from a nether region. I doubt anyone would really want to knock back several beers with Everett Backstrom. After all, he’s not likable. The challenge for the series will be its ability to sustain ongoing interest in the flawed detective’s sleuthing. For now, “Backstrom” deserves a chance for several viewings. At the press tour conference, Rainn Wilson, dutifully trying to sell the series, observed that he found his character more interesting because his life is falling apart and that he would rather “hang out with that person than a slick procedural detective who’s got all the answers.” Later in the conference, Wilson asked the audience to “take a little ride with us.” Admitting his character is a jerk, Wilson noted that we will learn “some really interesting things about him and his coping mechanisms, about his family.” Again, the challenge for “Backstrom” is finding an audience willing to hang in for the 13 episodes for the arc of the darkly comic story that is unknowable at this point.

Call us at 916-773-1111 The Independent • 7 January 30, 2015 Seas on Titan and Your Heating Bill ROCK DOC By Dr. E. Kirsten Peters Like most regions of the country, the area where I live suffered through colder than average temperatures in mid-November. If you pay for your heating bill month by month, you are now facing the sticker shock that results from those bitter times. Happy holidays. I heat my home with a natural gas furnace supplemented by a woodstove in the living room. It’s a small stove, really designed only for emergencies and for fires built for fun on a Sunday afternoon. In other words, it doesn’t heat the whole house, and it works only with constant tending. But during our cold snap, I built some fires in the woodstove to try to take the edge off the natural gas bill I was incurring. The woodstove is in the same room as the thermostat for the house, though, so heating with it caused the temperatures in the rest of the house to crash. Still, I was doing what I could to lessen what I would later owe the power company. The main ingredient in natural gas is methane. It’s colorless and odorless, so utility companies add a “rotten egg” smell to it. That way, if there is a leak, your nose becomes aware of it and you can evacuate your home, then call 911. Methane occurs elsewhere in the solar system besides the Earth. It’s abundant on Titan, one of the moons of Saturn. On Titan, methane is a liquid because temperature there is almost 300 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Scientists have now plumbed the depths of three frigid seas of methane on Titan. An article online at sciencenews. org told me that the second largest of the seas, called Ligeia Mare, holds enough methane to fill Lake Michigan three times. NASA’s Cassini probe reached the neighborhood of Saturn in 2004 and it’s still sending back data. The spacecraft was told to send radar pulses directed toward Titan’s seas. Results in some places included two sets of reflected energy. The first set of waves were from radar bouncing off the surface of the methane sea. The second, weaker, set of waves were from radar bouncing off the floor of the methane sea, under the surface. Together, these indicate the depth of the liquid methane. The shallow parts of the sea are some 20 to 40 yards deep. In other parts of the Ligeia Mare, however, the methane is so deep no reflections from the bottom were detected, indicating places that are more than 200 yards deep. It’s amazing to me what we are continuing to learn about our solar system -- information ranging from data beamed back from a spacecraft landing on a comet to this information about Titan’s methane seas. I’m also amazed by what I owe the power company for methane I used in November -- but I’m trying to keep some perspective about it. Dr. E.

NBS Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 03/30/2007 as Book No.: 20070330, Page No.: 0682, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Sacramento County, California, executed by: ULF JONAS EKEROTH, A SINGLE MAN, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by 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 Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. Sale Date & Time: 02/09/2015 at 02:00 PM Sale Location: At the main entrance to the County Courthouse, 720 9th Street, Sacramento, CA. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2336 MORAINE CIRCLE, RANCHO CORDOVA, CA 95670 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 in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed 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 of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $184,195.79 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www. nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9448-4254. 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. 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.

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.

Howard and Cheryle Hicks of Rancho Cordova are both 57 and have been homeless for around three months; they were grateful for the nights they were able to spend in the shelter. “Without it,” Howard Hicks said, “you just keep moving. Or you freeze like a popsicle.” Every person’s situation is different. Five years ago, Kim Swope (35) was making $80,000 a year. “I have a Bachelor’s degree,” Swope said. “I was a normal, functioning member of society just like everybody else. But my daughter ran away and I had a breakdown, and I lost everything.” Now she is struggling to get back everything she lost. “It’s been eye opening, and a humbling experience that I needed to go through,” Swope said. “This is my first time in this experience. I’m like a fish out of water.” Some of the homeless have been able to receive counseling and find resources while at the shelter. “Sacramento SelfHelp Housing came to our place one night and they found aid for one person and housing for three others,” said Mike Mitchum, pastor at Cordova Neighborhood Church. “That was a highlight. And to be able to perhaps provide more resources for them, I think I would like to see that happen next year.” Volunteers responded enthusiastically at every shelter host site. Claudia Beigel, parish coordinator for St. John Vianney host site, said she was pleased with the response. “So many people came forward to volunteer and to give money, to give of their time,” Beigel said. “I’m looking forward to doing it next year.” With all its challenges and difficulties, organizers, volunteers, and guests all feel the effort was worth it. “I think that we were able to connect with some of the homeless population in Rancho and have conversations, make them feel not invisible,” Edwards said. “We did a little good and we may never know how far it goes. We were one link in their chain back to getting on their feet. So yes, it was, I think, totally, totally worth it.” H Living Trust Senior Special with this ad If you have a house, you need a Trust.

But the former Los Angeles Raiders fullback won’t be returning for the upcoming season. The Grapevine Independent learned that Mueller has resigned as coach. In an email, he would not specify reasons for his resignation other than “personal.” “That is true,” said Mueller when asked through email about his resignation. According to Michele Brown, assistant principal at CHS, Mueller “notified us (this month) that he was resigning due to personal reasons.” This past season, Mueller led the Lancers to a 6-0 mark, one of program’s best starts since Max Miller ran the program during his second tenure in the 2000s. During the win streak, Cordova shutout two of its six opponents and held the others to a touchdown. Cordova beat Galt 36-8 last October in the Sierra Valley Conference opener, which also was the Lancers’ homecoming game. In its SVC finale at Rosemont, Cordova fell short of its bid to earn a playoff berth by losing a heart-breaking 10-8 contest to the host Wolverines. The tough loss had the Lancer finish their season at 6-4 and 1-4 in the SVC. High school football teams in the section need at least two wins in conference play in order to advance into the playoffs. The two seasons prior, the Lancers had a combined record 3-17, including only two wins in CAL action and losing most of their games by three or more touchdowns before returning to the SVC this school year. “He has done a remarkable job at CHS, and has Vance Mueller talks to his Cordova High School football players after a home game last season. After three seasons, Mueller, who guided the Lancers to a 6-0 start and was one game shy of qualifying for a SacJoaquin Section playoff berth, resigned as head coach. Photo by Rae Lynn Flippo made a positive impact on our football program and on our students through his character-first coaching,” said Brown in an email. “We are sad to lose him but respect his decision and wish him the absolute best.” Mueller preached academics over athletics. Each week during this past season and the first two seasons, he conducted study hall before practices. Brown said that the coaching position was posted on www.edjoin.org for internal and external candidates to apply. “We’ll begin screening applicants once the position closes (earlier this week),” said Brown via email. A follow-up on Mueller’s sudden resignation, plus the process of hiring a new Lancer grid coach will run in an upcoming issue of the Grapevine Independent. H Cordova Boys Basketball Team Remains in First Place in SVC By Mike Bush RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - In a key matchup against two of the Sierra Valley Conference’s (SVC) top teams, the Cordova High School boys basketball team got an early edge on Liberty Ranch to secure first place. The Lancers used a first quarter run over the Hawks in their first meeting on January 22nd that finished with a 97-82 win. Along with another win over El Dorado early last week, Cordova is 5-0 in the SVC and 17-5 overall. This also includes Tuesday’s 75-34 conference road win over Rosemont. In its game at Liberty Ranch, Cordova jumped out to a 23-8 lead in the first quarter. That ignited to a 49-30 halftime lead. “We just came out real intense (in the first quarter) ready to play,” said Cordova head coach Fletcher Johnson. “We pushed the ball up the floor.” The third quarter started with the Hawks outscoring the Lancers 30-24 to trim their lead to 63-51 entering the fourth quarter. Foul trouble hurt Cordova, which switched to a zone defense that allowed Liberty Ranch to score often before the final quarter. Then in the fourth quarter, Cordova returned to its scoring ways on offense with a 31-24 advantage for the win. Jordan Roberson surpassed his average scoring per game for Cordova with an amazing 44 points. This included 16 shots from the field and 8 of 10 from the free throw line. This is the second time this season Roberson has scored 40 or more points in a game. Following Roberson in scoring was JaQuan Lewis with 20 points and Christian Munoz with 14. EJ Turner had six points, Chris Johnson had five, and Kyle Correction In last week’s issue of the Grapevine, the photos for “Cordova Boys Basketball Too Much for Union Mine” and “Lady Lancers Improve to 2-1 in SVC Action” were incorrectly credited to another photographer. The photos should have been credited to Rick Sloan. We regret the error. Cordova guard JaQuan Lewis (No. 24) glides through the paint for some of his 13 points in the Lancers’ SVC win over El Dorado. He also had 20 points against Liberty Ranch toward the end of last week. Photo by Rick Sloan Lorena and Damion Baldwin had four each. Cordova grabbed 40 rebounds, with Munoz ending the game with a double-double as he pulled down 14 boards. Lewis had eight and Johnson had six. Roberson and Lewis had three steals each, and the Lancers had eight as a team. Coach Johnson had a hunch his team would go undefeated in the first half of conference play. Now it’s just a matter of playing with the same or higher intensity entering the second half of SVC action. “I’m just hoping we can sustain the high level of concentration in the second half,” Johnson said. Cordova 86, El Dorado 32 The Lancers also had another big first quarter in their January 20th home game against the Cougars. Cordova outscored El Dorado 27-9 and ran to a 44-21 halftime lead. The Lancers’ defense held the Cougars to only four points in the third quarter and dropped 25 points on their end to expand their lead to 69-25 entering the fourth quarter. Roberson had 30 points in the Lancers’ win. He was one of four players who scored in double figures. Other Lancer players with double-digit scores were Lewis with 13 points, Johnson with 12, and Turner with 11. Movses Avagyan followed with six points, Munoz and Lamont Guidry had four each, Baldwin and Ben Danielyan had two each, and Joseph Gomez had one. Cordova had 33 rebounds, with Roberson, Baldwin, and Munoz scoring five each. Roberson also had four of the Lancers’ 19 steals. On Thursday, January 22nd, Cordova opened the second round of SVC action at Galt. On Tuesday, February 3rd, the Lancers host Union Mine and next Friday, February 6th, they play at El Dorado. Game times are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. H Lady Lancers Split SVC Contests By Mike Bush RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - As it entered its Sierra Valley Conference (SVC) home game earlier this week, the Cordova High School girls basketball team produced a winning record. The Lady Lancers were 3-1 in the SVC and 14-7 overall as they hosted Rosemont. On January 23rd at home, Cordova was too much for Liberty Ranch, 59-34. Against the visiting Lady Hawks, the Lady Lancers jumped out to a 21-4 first quarter lead and coasted to a 30-11 halftime lead. Cordova outscored Liberty Ranch 29-23 in the second half. Kelsie Graf was one of two Cordova players who scored in double figures with 13 points, followed by Cauje Curney with 12. Alyssa Moreno was next in scoring with seven points; Adrienne Hammond joined teammates Jullissa Reis and Nikki Jones with five points each; Chevyela Howard, Midori Mekata, and Alyssa Wilson had three points each; and Leila Cooper had two and Brianna Clark had one. Cordova had 47 rebounds in the game. Reis had seven boards, Graf had six, and Curney and Cooper had five each. El Dorado 62, Cordova 51 In an SVC road game on January 20th, the Lady Lancers scored 21 points in the fourth quarter and held the Lady Cougars to 14 points. But Cordova was hurt when it scored only five points in the first quarter and trailed 23-15 at halftime. Curney had 14 points and Clark had eight to lead In a recent home Sierra Valley Conference game, Cordova girls basketball player Cauje Curney (No. 10) drives toward the basket. She scored in double figures in two Lady Lancer games last week. Photo by Rick Sloan the Lancers. Jones had six points and Moreno had five. Reis had seven of the Lancers’ 34 rebounds, and Cooper and Hammond had six boards each. After closing out SVC play against Rosemont, Cordova opened the second round on Thursday, January 22nd at home against Galt. On Tuesday, February 3rd, the Lady Lancers play at Union Mine and host El Dorado on Thursday, February 5th. All games are scheduled to tip off at 7:30 p.m. H END of the BENCH by Gerry Scholl A Golden Age Revisited, For Some It was Sunday, May 25, 1975. Most of our small, brotherly group —- scattered around Northern California by the forces of the passing of time —- had made a pilgrimage, of sorts, to “sit simply in that room again.” We gathered together to share the choicest moments of a Golden Age. It was the wish from Bob Dylan’s Dream come true —- for just a few unforgettable hours. If any of us had had the money, we would have given “ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat” to be there to share an everlasting memory. Based in a joy for the game we had shared and loved, followed and watched and played many times together through four years —- for a day, the little room was our basketball mecca. The game had been one of the many things that had joined us together and bound us at our core, for a space in time. For an improbable climax to the 1974-75 NBA season, and to the surprise of the entire basketball world, “our” team of Warriors was only four quarters away from a crowning achievement —- a world championship, a Golden State Age. The Golden State Warriors finished that regular season with a Western Conference-best record of 48-34, and survived hotlycontested playoff series over the Seattle SuperSonics (remember them?) and the powerful Chicago Bulls to reach the finals. They went into it as heavy underdogs that were predicted to be swept away by the dominant Washington Bullets (60-22), that had beaten the Boston Celtics (also, 60-22) to get there, led by point guard Kevin Porter, All-Star guard Phil Chenier (Cal), and two huge future Hall of Fame front court men in Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld. The Warriors were comprised of the great HOF forward Rick Barry (No. 24, in honor of Willie Mays), who was named MVP of the series, averaging 29.5 ppg., and a bunch of other guys. Led by coach Al Attles, the other guys —- older veterans Jeff Mullins and Bill Bridges; younger veterans Butch Beard and Clifford Ray; young guards with Bay Area roots, Charles Johnson (Cal) and Phil Smith (a rookie from USF); rookie forward Jamaal Wilkes (UCLA); youngsters Derrek Dickey (“double-D”) and Charles Dudley (“Hopper”), and long and lean 6-11 shot-blocker George Johnson —- were key. Attles was considered a pioneer in the tactics of using all of the players on the roster as instrumental pieces of the team’s success on the floor throughout the season and even into the playoffs, when most coaches typically reduce the number and minutes of players in their rotations during games. Shockingly, the Warriors won the first three games of the series by a combined total of 15 points. Two of those wins came at the Cow Palace in Daly City, because there was so little faith in the Warriors ever advancing so far that their home court, the Oakland Coliseum, was booked up with other events and the games had to be moved. We sat watching and bemoaning the events of the early minutes of the finale, as the Warriors trailed by ten points at the end of the first quarter. While Barry struggled, at times, and Attles was ultimately ejected from the game after drawing a pair of technical fouls for complaining about the atrocious officiating (inducing, as was our custom, a flurry of rolled-up, dirty socks thrown across the room at the TV screen), it was the team’s depth that kept them close and able to pull the game out in the closing minutes. The Warriors’ bench players outscored the Bullets’ bench, 32-8, as they held on for a 96-95 win and a 4-0 sweep of their own in what is still considered by many (40 years later) to be the biggest upset in the history of sports —- still the W’s one and only title since moving west from Philadelphia in 1962. But, what have we here?! Could that change this season? Are this year’s Warriors a team of destiny? In much the same manner as that championship team, the 201415 W’s are complimenting their star guards tandem of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson by using their deep and productive roster to sustain unparalleled success thus far during the regular season, as the team is on a record-setting pace with an NBA best record of 36-6 through Sunday’s win over Boston. Several days ago, a Warriors game was televised on one station, while a Sacramento Kings game, simultaneously, was on another —clicking back and forth, it was a ready-made study in contrasts. If the Warriors’ style is one that the Kings’ brass —- owner Vivek Ranadive, general manager Pete D’leasandro and three other members of the basketball operations staff, Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond and Mike Bratz (all five with former ties to the Warriors) —- wants to emulate, they have a long way to go. Good luck, fellas. Hope you see it in your lifetime. In one game, the Kings were jacking up jump shot after jump shot, while the Brooklyn Nets were making lay-up after lay-up. The Nets scored twenty points in the paint while building a 36-24 lead after one quarter, eliciting boos from the Kings’ home court fans. The fans have seen the show before —- for the last decade, or so. The Kings reached the playoffs eight straight seasons ending in 2005-06, but haven’t been close since. Beleaguered interim coach Tyrone Corbin watched as the Nets’ lead grew to twenty points in the second quarter. The Kings rallied, but true to their form they couldn’t close the deal. Again, it was too little, too late. When defeat was assured in the waning seconds, along came the all-too-familiar refrain from Kings broadcaster Grant Napier, “That should do it.” On the other channel, the “Splash Brothers” were doing their thing and center Andrew Bogut was stuffing Dwight Howard twice in a row while the fans in the 103rd consecutive sellout at Oracle Arena were going wild. First-year coach Steve Kerr confidently watched his team build a twenty-point lead by the half on the strength of 21 fast break points, while holding the Houston Rockets to 30-percent shooting. The Warriors had been as bad, or worse, than the Kings for some time (generations of fans of the two have had few golden moments), but the most recent influx of talent in Oakland has evolved into, possibly, the best team in the league. The W’s are the top-rated offensive and defensive team, and rank at, or near the top, in most statistical categories, while the fast-fading Kings do not. It came as no surprise that the Warriors ran out to an early big lead when the two teams faced each other last Friday, 26-8, six minutes in. To the Kings’ credit, they rallied again to a tie-score early in the third quarter, but Klay Thompson was suddenly “on fire!” and scored an NBA-record 37 points in the third period in an unbelievable, all-time shooting display (13-for-13, including 9-for-9 from three-point range). The Warriors won going away, 126-101. The Warriors are on their way; the Kings are going away.

SUPER BOWL XLIX Why the Seahawks will win 1. RUSSELL WILSON The 26-year-old Wilson is the youngest quarterback to start two Super Bowls and also the first to start two Super Bowls in his first three seasons to begin his career. His 42 wins in three years, playoffs included, are the most by a starting quarterback in his first three NFL seasons. Wilson, who had three 100-yard rushing games this season and led all QBs with 849 yards, is taking on a Patriots team that has not allowed a quarterback to run for 100 yards in 268 games under coach Bill Belichick. However, three of the Pats’ four losses this season came against QBs that were top eight in rushing yards among QBs. Wilson is 10–0 against Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks, including a comeback win against Tom Brady in 2012. 2. BEAST MODE Marshawn Lynch and Wilson helped the Seahawks to the No. 1 rushing attack in the league this season at 172.6 yards per game. Lynch averaged 4.7 yards per carry for 1,306 yards and was tied with DeMarco Murray for a leagueleading 13 rushing touchdowns this season. He added another four receiving TDs on 37 catches. Lynch has had 20-plus carries seven times in the 11 games since the start of November and has averaged 109.9 yards in those seven games. He has averaged 5.5 yards per carry on 39 carries during the postseason, including season highs in carries (25) and yards (157) in the NFC Championship Game. The Patriots had the league’s ninth-best rush defense (104.3 ypg) in the regular season but did allow Baltimore’s Justin Forsett to carry 24 times for 129 yards and a receiving score in the Divisional round. 3. U MAD BRO?! Rated as Pro Football Focus’ third-best cornerback during the regular season and its second-best during this postseason, Richard Sherman is a nightmare matchup. He’s picked off six passes and allowed just one TD pass this season, according to PFF. Sherman has only been thrown at seven times, allowing three catches for 51 yards and no scores through two playoff games. When he last faced Brady, Sherman allowed just two catches on seven targets with an interception and an infamous "U Mad Bro?" Tweet after the game as trash talk to Brady. After the game, Sherman told Brady, “We’re better than you. You’re just a man — we’re a team.” Sherman, who injured his elbow in the NFC Conference Championship, said he will be 100 percent for the Super Bowl. He will likely draw Brady’s favorite target, receiver Julian Edelman, in coverage. It will be a very interesting matchup to watch Sherman on Sunday. Won 32–29 vs. Carolina Panthers Athlon Sports Why the Patriots will win 1. BRADY & BELICHICK This is the sixth Super Bowl appearance in 13 years for the quarterbackhead coach duo of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, the most for a pairing in NFL history. They won the first three the played in before a pair of losses to the New York Giants in 2007 and 2011. Seattle, however, is 6–0 against regular-season MVP quarterbacks since 2012, including Brady. The 62-yearold Belichick will face off against the 63-year-old Pete Carroll in the first matchup in Super Bowl history where the head coaches of both teams are 60 or older. Carroll, who was fired by the Patriots in 1999 and replaced by Belichick, can become the first coach to win back-to-back Super Bowls since Belichick did so in 2004 and 2005. 2. GRONK SPIKE New England tight end Rob Gronkowski pulled in 12 touchdowns during the regular season to tie for the league lead amongst tight ends. He’s added another two trips to the end zone in the postseason, and has scored in each of the last five games — emphasizing each trip to paydirt with his signature spiking of the ball in the end zone. The Patriots’ receiving yardage leader and second-most targeted pass catcher, Gronkowski draws a Seahawks team that allowed 11 touchdowns to tight ends in the regular season, tied for third most in the league. Seattle safety Kam Chancellor should draw much of the coverage against Gronkowski. According to Pro Football Focus, Chancellor allowed just one touchdown this season. Gronkowski caught six balls for 61 yards on nine targets when he faced off against an injured Chancellor in Seattle in 2012. 3. BLOUNT FORCE The Patriots are riding high with LeGarrette Blount as their power running back. After just three attempts for one yard in the Divisional Round against Baltimore, the 250-pounder carried 30 times for 148 yards and three scores in the AFC Championship Game win over Indianapolis. He is going against a Seattle defense that has not been lights out against the run in the postseason, allowing Green Bay to rush for 135 yards on 4.5 per carry and Dallas to run for 145 yards on 5.2 per carry. This is after having the third-best rush defense during the regular season — allowing 1,304 yards on 3.4 yards per carry. If the Seahawks’ secondary plays well, the Pats may ground and pound. OUTSIDE THE HUDDLE AIRING OUT DEFLATEGATE The news leading up to the Super Bowl has been dominated by the under-inflated footballs used in New England for the AFC title game blowout win against Indianapolis. Whether it was Bill Belichick having little to say on the matter, outside of seemingly throwing quarterback Tom Brady under the bus about the matter, or Brady saying he and his head coach are on the "same page," DeflateGate is not going away. This week, FOX Sports reported that the NFL's investigation has turned toward a Patriots locker room attendant who was seen on surveillance video taking the footballs from the officials' locker room to another room in the stadium before taking them to the field. Attorney Ted Wells, who is leading the investigation, said in a statement this week that he expects the investigation to take at least several more weeks. … More head coaching hires have come down the pike with a lot of recycling going on. John Fox parted ways with the Denver Broncos and landed the same position with the Chicago Bears, where he replaced Marc Trestman. Gary Kubiak, the longtime backup quarterback to John Elway in Denver (1983-91), is back in the Mile High City as the Broncos' new head coach. This is his second NFL head-coaching stint after having been the head man of the Houston Texans from 2006-13. Jack Del Rio, leaves his job as Denver's defensive coordinator to take over the AFC West-rival Oakland Raiders. It is also Del Rio's second run at being an NFL head coach after leading the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2003-11. First-time head coaches include the San Francisco 49ers promoting defensive line coach Jim Tomusla and the New York Jets hiring Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles. The Atlanta Falcons are the only team left without a head coach, but are expected to hire Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn after the Super Bowl. ... The Walter Payton Man of the Year finalists are San Francisco receiver Anquan Boldin, Carolina linebacker Thomas Davis and Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The award recognizes a player's offthe-field community service as well as his playing ability.
