Jordan Cove next in line for federal review BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World
COOS BAY — The Jordan Cove Energy Project is nudging the Bay Area toward preparation, since the LNG export terminal is approaching a major federal milestone. Jordan Cove public affairs director Michael Hinrichs repeated himself throughout the Oregon Employer Council South Coast’s meeting Tuesday morning, emphasizing communitywide planning every time.
“If you prepare and it doesn’t happen, that’s unfortunate,” he said. “But if we do occur and you don’t prepare I can easily see the community getting steamrolled, and I don’t want that to happen.” A draft environmental impact statement is expected from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission sometime next month. This announcement would fall in line with FERC’s recent LNG (liquefied natural gas) decisions. FERC has approved one final EIS every month since February.
Cameron LNG in Hackberry, La., just got FERC’s final go-ahead June 19. Three days earlier, the Freeport LNG expansion in Freeport, Texas, received its final EIS, and three days before that, Cheniere-Corpus Christi LNG in Corpus Christi, Texas, received its draft EIS. FERC will meet again July 17. LNG export permit approvals have sped up in recent months, with politicians and economists blasting an approval process clogged with red tape. They say it’s slowing the nation’s ability to be a
major player in an expanding natural gas industry. “The United States has the capability and ingenuity to produce at even greater levels and to reap even greater economic benefit,” wrote Margo Thorning, American Council for Capital Formation senior vice president and chief economist, on the ACCF website last month. “But until energy and trade policies in Washington are revised to reflect the new energy reality and our new role as a global leader, we risk leaving much on the
Summer Food Service
table.” This week, the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on HR 6, a bill that would fasttrack LNG export permit approvals. For now, 90 days of public comment — including public hearings during the first 30 days in Coos, Douglas, Jackson and Klamath counties — follow a draft EIS. While this isn’t the last chance the public has to be heard, Hinrichs SEE LNG | A8

Century-old pipe in downtown Coos Bay is getting repaired ■
BY TIM NOVOTNY The World
COOS BAY — A section of North Fourth Street, between Highland and Market avenues in Coos Bay is temporarily off-limits so the city can complete an emergency sewer line repair. Jennifer Wirsing, engineering services coordinator for city, says this is not part of the major wastewater system upgrade that has been reported lately, but it is a perfect example of why such an upgrade is needed. “We had a sinkhole that was reported,” she said by phone Tuesday. “Over the course of our investigation of that sinkhole, two more sinkholes popped up. These are not Florida (-type) sinkholes. They are not more than 2 feet in diameter, but if left unattended, they could get worse.” The problem stems from the age and make of the pipe lying under that section of Fourth Street. Wirsing says it is a clay pipe that dates back to 1905, and a camera that was directed through the inside of the pipe during their investigation uncovered numerous problems. “It identified many large cracks and portions of the pipe that were missing,” she said. “Obviously, it is a problem that needed immediate attention.” The city of Coos Bay authorized Benny Hempstead Excavating Inc. to perform the sewer line replacement. The work will require street closures and detours for the duration of the project, which is only expected to last through Monday. That portion of North Fourth Street, along with a portion of Highland Avenue from

Bay Area kids line up for free meals The World
COOS BAY — In an area where the majority of students qualify for free or reduced price lunches, school districts spend the summer serving hot meals to hungry children. Volunteers packed 100 hot chicken sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, milk, apples, carrots and celery into a van Monday morning. They spent the next two hours darting around Coos Bay, putting lunch in the hands of smiling kids.
While fewer children statewide accessed free meals last summer (a 2 percent dip) due to budget cuts and lack of awareness, those communities with Inside targeted support — See a list of summer such as new fundmeal locations. ing and Page A2 partnerships in Coos Bay — saw an increase.

WASHINGTON — Nearly half of the roughly 300 U.S. military advisers and special operations forces expected to go to Iraq are now in Baghdad and have begun to assess Iraqi forces in the fight against Sunni militants, the Defense Department said Tuesday as the U.S. ramped up aid to the besieged country. On Capitol Hill, senators who left a closed briefing with senior Obama administration officials expressed hope Iraq could soon form a new government, perhaps in the next week, facilitating greater U.S. military action against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who attended that
meeting, backed what he described as an advancing American strategy. At the Pentagon, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby told reporters the troops in Baghdad included two teams of special forces and about 90 advisers, intelligence analysts, commandos and some other support personnel needed to set up a joint operations center in the Iraqi capital. Another four teams of special forces would arrive in the next few days, Kirby said. Those troops, added to the approximately 360 other U.S. forces that are in and around the embassy in Baghdad to perform security, would bring the total U.S military presence
ALBANY, Ore. (AP) — Earlier this year, authorities followed a pickup truck to a warehouse in Philomath and seized more than 13,000 pounds of salal, a leafy Northwest plant prized for its shelf life in floral arrangements. It’s shipped to the East Coast and even to Europe, and the black-market operation was an example of the wealth that thieves take from public forests, law enforcement officers tell the Albany DemocratHerald. Among the plunder: morel mushrooms, truffles, evergreen boughs for the Christmas season, bear grass for flower arrangements, sometimes whole fir trees or ferns for landscaping, Oregon grape or devil’s club for anti-inflammatories, and the white bark of a species of buckthorn called cascara that’s peeled off for use as a laxative. “If it grows out here, somebody’s probably taking it,” said timber Deputy Brandon Fountain of the Linn

No perfect solution to gun violence Local officials are urging increased measures to make schools less vulnerable to intruders carrying guns. That’s a good idea. But no one should get the idea that even the best precautions can guarantee everyone’s safety under all circumstances. Improving planning and preparedness is one logical step in response to school shootings. Another would be imposing universal background checks to limit mentally ill individuals’ access to firearms. We’re not holding our breath on the latter; despite majority support for the move among the general public, the gun lobby will fight anything they see as an infringement of the Second Amendment, no matter how reasonable. As far as security systems go, it’s simply not possible to make school buildings impenetrable under all circumstances. But some steps can be taken, such as ensuring classroom doors are lockable from the inside and installing panic buttons and buzzed entry systems. On the prevention side, identifying and reaching out to troubled students with mental health professionals is another positive step. Ultimately, it may take concerted public pressure on Congress to get any traction on sensible gun sale restrictions. And still, as the body count mounts, the gun lobby opposes common-sense efforts. As President Obama said after Tuesday’s shooting, “There’s no advanced, developed country on Earth that would put up with this.”

Pay It Forward report shows expensive, long process A proposed pilot program for Oregon’s much-ballyhooed Pay It Forward program would involve 4,000 students and take 10 years to show results. The cost is estimated at nearly $20 million for the 2015-17 biennium, climbing each biennium to nearly $40 million in 2020-21 before gradually decreasing to zero in 2038-39. It would provide tuition-free college to those 4,000 students. They would repay with 0.75 to 4 percent of their income — depending on the number of credits taken — for 20 years after completing their schooling. It’s a popular concept in a state and nation struggling with rising tuition and staggering student debt. But seeing these new details reaffirms that the idea is too expensive and too uncertain. The Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission is considering the
proposal, following the Legislature’s instruction to research the idea and come up with a plan. We share proponents’ desire to provide equal access to higher education and relieve the crushing burden of college debt. But we live in a state that has been disinvesting in higher education for years. A recent study in The Washington Post showed Oregon with a 49.9 percent drop in per student spending on higher education from 2008 to 2013, the third worst in the nation. This is also a state that struggles to support its K-12 system. We should focus on those basics, not on a fancy, new and unproven system. The (Bend) Bulletin
Roseburg VA needs independent probe to restore credibility By now the credibility of the Roseburg Veterans Affairs Medical Center is so shot only an independent investigation can repair it. Until earlier this month, the Roseburg VA distanced itself from the proposition that veterans must wait an unhealthy, literally,
number of days to see a doctor. The Roseburg VA had assured everyone of two things (facts): It promptly schedules appointments in nearly all cases and that it doesn’t falsify records. The nationwide audit of VA hospitals released this month exposed the first thing as not true and called into question the truthfulness of the second thing. Roseburg VA officials can crunch and spin the numbers all they want, but the audit found this: If you’re new to the VA and call the Roseburg hospital to see a primary care doctor, you wait an average of 51 days for an appointment. Maybe even more alarming, a veteran new to the VA health care system must wait an average of 47 days for a mental health appointment. The revelation that veterans must wait unconscionably long to see a VA doctor in Roseburg, as well as Portland and White City, contradicted what VA officials had been saying. The Roseburg VA, like other VA hospitals that fared poorly in the initial audits,faces further review, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The only hope for restoring credibility is involving another agency, such as the U.S. Office of Special Counsel or FBI. Heads may roll, but the institution, for the sake of veterans, needs to bounce back. (Roseburg) News-Review
Campus rape and the backlash The first time I ever went “online” to do a search on the “World Wide Web” (yes, we used to call it that), I figured I’d pick a subject I knew a lot about and see what was there.So, I typed in the word “rape” — a subject I learned about the hard way many decades ago and have been teaching and writing about for the past 30 years. To my surprise and horror, what popped up on my search were not sites aimed at providing resources or support for the victims of rape, but one horror story site after another about men wrongly accused of rape. Now, I am not one of those who believe rape is such a serious crime that even innocence is no defense. I am the mother of a son, as well as a daughter.I have seen that rape can destroy the lives not only of its victims, but also of those who are wrongly accused. I am a law professor, as well as a victim. I am not willing to imprison the innocent lest the guilty go free. That is why rape is a problem that colleges and universities must address. I understand why many SUSAN administrators would like ESTRICH to leave it to the criminal justice system. But the Columnist criminal justice system doesn’t deal with shades of gray. It doesn’t deal with hazy memories. It demands proof beyond a reasonable doubt precisely because the punishment to be doled out is prison. All of which means that your garden-variety campus rape,involving too much alcohol and no weapons or beatings or witnesses, and competing accounts as to whether and when anyone said yes or no, is not going to lead to a successful prosecution. That doesn’t mean the complainant was not really raped. It just means it cannot be proved to the satisfaction of the criminal justice system. Colleges and universities deal with wrongdoing that does not amount to a prosecutable crime every day of the week — from stealing and cheating to taking food that doesn’t belong to you from the dorm fridge. We have honor codes and honor boards, faculty-student committees, teams of deans and resident advisers. How is it that we can do all of these things, but we can’t fairly determine whether one student has abused another? We’ll get sued, more than one university lawyer has told me over the years. They don’t mean they’ll be sued by the victims who don’t get attention, but by those who are accused of rape and demand lawyers and due process and procedural protections before they are “branded” a rapist and their life destroyed. And they’re right. They will get sued — unless they do it right. Doing it right means being clear at the outset about what kind of conduct is expected of students. Doing it right also means providing both the accuser and the accused with advocates to help them navigate the process and assuring that the process itself is fair, that there is a meaningful opportunity to present the evidence and to seek review of any adverse ruling. Thanks to the work of activists and the involvement of the administration, the heat is on colleges and universities at least to report accurately the number of assaults on campus, if not to take action to prevent and punish them. But beware of the backlash. There is no evidence that women lie about rape any more than people lie about every other crime, and there’s much evidence that the larger problem is underreporting. But there are crazy people in the world, and one of them will report a rape that didn’t happen. It will get more attention than most real rapes do, and we had best be ready. The backlash will be coming.
Letters to the Editor An astute analysis of the news I have some complaints about television and printed news: 1. Fox News — I am so sick of the scrawny blondes with the short skirts they hire. The men are all very common looking. Their demographic must be old, common looking men who fantasize about being surrounded by young, good looking chicks. 2. MSNBC — Nothing but politics, almost all the time. Politics, politics, politics. All their programs are the same, just changing the host every hour. 3. CNN — my biggest complaint is that they tease with a story and then don’t get around to it for 45 minutes. I do like some of
the specialty shows like “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.” 4. ABC, CBS, NBC — pretty much all the same except for “60 Minutes,” which does do some investigative reporting. 5. Southern Oregon TV stations — they have hardly any news that pertains to our area here. 6. Newspapers — While I don’t always agree with The World (on things like the Jordan Cove LNG project) at least we find out what’s happening in our own county. I’ve been buying The Oregonian on Sundays but their format has gotten so weird, I might stop that. (And, no, I’m not going to read it online). Information 7. Clearinghouse.info — I do read it online because that’s the only way
I can get world and investigative news from left, right and center. I read things there long before it comes out in the other media. Now that I’ve complained, I feel better! Lorraine Pool Bandon

Iraq crisis inspires Chicken Little talk Here’s an amazing fact that most of the Chicken Little rhetoric about the crisis in Iraq fails to take into account: The city of Mosul, population 1.5 million, fell to ISIL insurgents because two divisions of Iraq’s army (30,000 soldiers) shed their uniforms, abandoned their weapons, and fled from 800 Sunni religious extremists in pickup trucks. You read that right. Eight hundred holy warriors routed 30,000 Iraqi soldiers. Large parts of Iraq’s army clearly have no trust in their officers or loyalty to the Maliki government, which is seen by most people as sectarian organized crime. Writing in the Washington Post, Marc Lynch explains: “Maliki lost Sunni Iraq through his sectarian and authoritarian policies. His repeated refusal over long years to strike an urgently needed political accord with the Sunni minority, his construction of corrupt, ineffective and sectarian state institutions, and his heavy-handed military repression ... are the key factors in the longdeveloping disintegration of Iraq.” In short, it’s a political and religious breakdown more than a military failure, and one that no amount of U.S. bombs or military advisors can fix. Been there, done that. Screwed
it up so badly that only the most perfervid TV studio commandos want to go back. So naturally, those were the only guests the TV networks GENE booked on the talk LYONS political shows: a parade Columnist of sad-sack Bush administration retreads and embittered GOP presidential candidates who blamed it all on President Obama. The whole gang was there: Mitt Romney, Sen. John McCain, even neoconservative carnival barker Paul Wolfowitz, who explained that everything would have been just dandy if we’d committed to stay in Iraq as we’d stayed in South Korea for another 60 years. “We had it won. Thanks to the surge and thanks to Gen. David Petraeus, we had it won,” explained perennial sorehead John McCain. “The fact is we had the conflict won, and we had a stable government ... but the president wanted out and now we are paying a very heavy price.” The Very Angry Senator has been so wrong so often about Iraq that putting him on national TV is
like asking Bernie Madoff to comment upon economic policy. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes compiled a series of devastating video clips — including McCain’s confident assertion that Iraqis would see American soldiers as “liberators,” that the war would pay for itself, and that “there is not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shias, so I think they can probably get along.” However, the TV networks are in the business of marketing political melodrama. They require conflict to push the narrative, the more bellicose and simple-minded the better. They don’t put McCain on despite his dismal track record, but because of it. Almost regardless of the question, you get the same answer: It’s all Obama’s fault, and Bombs Away! By now, however, the TV commandos have lost audience share. Polls show that 16 percent of Americans would support sending troops back into Iraq, while 74 percent are opposed. As reliable a conservative as Thomas Sowell writes that he’s had it with “glib and heady talk of ‘national greatness’ interventionists who were prepared to put other people’s lives on the line from the safety of their editorial offices.” Welcome back to the real world, fellows. There never was
anything remotely conservative about Wolfowitz and company’s “Project for a New American Century” to begin with, which this column long ago described as “a grandiose scheme for world domination that would have credited a James Bond villain or V.I. Lenin.” Anyway, here’s the second big thing the Chicken Little rhetoric gets wrong: A sectarian civil war between Sunni jihadists and Shiite militias in Iraq may be an appalling human tragedy, but it’s not necessarily a grave threat to U.S. security. As Steven Simon of the Middle East Institute explains in the New York Times, a few thousand lightly armed Sunni militants are highly unlikely to overrun Baghdad — a largely Shiite city of 7 million. And even if they did, they’d end up wishing they hadn’t. Lest we forget — and most Americans never knew — Iraq and Iran fought a terrible bloody war between 1980 and 1988, leaving more than a million dead but nothing changed, strategically speaking. Back then, the neocons all supported Saddam Hussein. For President Obama, the important thing is to resist being stampeded into doing something stupid,and to make damn sure the American people know why.

State Woman is puzzled by guy who refuses to get naked DEAR ABBY: I met a guy four months ago. Our relationship is new and pretty casual for the most part. We like each other’s company and spend nights together, but when we’re intimate, he keeps his clothes on — boxers and all. He is only 26, but he has told me about past relationships, so I know he has had experience. Over the past two years he has lost almost 100 pounds. He looks great now — healthy and toned. I have seen him get in and out of the DEAR shower. (I noticed a little excess skin on his stomach, but not much.) It’s really weird. I don’t feel comfortable taking my JEANNE own clothes PHILLIPS off when he doesn’t. This isn’t exactly a deal breaker for me, as I obviously am attracted to him. I just would like him to be comfortable with me. Should I address this with him, and if so, how? Or should I just leave it be for now? — AWKWARD SITUATION IN GEORGIA DEAR AWKWARD: It’s apparent that he still has body issues having to do with his extreme weight loss. If you know him well enough to spend nights at his house, you should be able to communicate with him about sex on a mature level and tell him the experience would be more satisfying for you if there was less between you when you are in his arms. DEAR ABBY: My fiancee and I work full time. We are trying to save for our wedding and a deposit for a house. The trouble is, after paying rent, bills and day-today expenses, we are left with next to nothing. I played poker when I was in college, which generated a nice income during my late teens and early 20s. A few months back, I decided to pick it up again and found a group of people who like to play. Since then, I have been playing four hours two or three nights a week, and it has generated an extra monthly income of $1,000 to $1,500. Our finances have improved a lot. There are nights my fiancee wants me to stay home. She says if I had a part-time job, she would understand why I couldn’t stay home on the days she asked. But to me, poker IS a part-time job, and it pays more than anything else I could find in this area. I play the same set schedule every week, so she should know what nights I need to go in to “work.” What do you say? — ALL-IN IN VIRGINIA DEAR ALL-IN: You appear to be a skillful card player or a very lucky one. Assuming that the games in which you are participating are legal, I see nothing wrong with what you’re doing. Because your fiancee feels lonely when you’re not with her, suggest that she do something with friends or take up a hobby. After all, you’re doing this for the both of you, aren’t you? And this “part-time job” isn’t going to be forever. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Sarah Kerwin is seen with a cat in Portland. Sgt. Pete Simpson says police were called when a woman returned home from work to find her house burglarized. When police entered the home to search for a suspect, Kerwin noted broken glass on the floors of the basement and a bathroom. Kerwin picked up the cat to make sure it didn’t step in the glass. The cat happily climbed onto Kerwin’s shoulders and stayed there as police finished searching the house.
Cat’s cradle: Pet perches atop investigating cop STATE
PORTLAND (AP) — The cat. In the bathroom. On the officer’s shoulders? Nope, not a game of “Clue.” But police say one orange tabby wanted to be closely involved when officers responding to a burglary report searched the cat’s home in southeast Portland. Sgt. Pete Simpson says police were called Monday afternoon when a woman returned home from work to find her house burglarized. When police entered the home to search for a suspect, Officer Sarah Kerwin noted broken glass on the floors of the basement and a bathroom. Because the resident cat was walking around on the floor, the officer picked up the cat to make sure it didn’t step in the glass. The cat happily climbed onto Kerwin’s shoulders and stayed there as police finished searching the house.
Wounded Rainier officer in fair condition PORTLAND (AP) — A police officer shot during a traffic stop in Rainier, is reported in fair condition at a
D I G E S T Portland hospital. Authorities say Officer Russell George was shot Monday by a motorist he stopped on U.S. Highway 30. The bullet went through the Rainier officer’s hand and hit his chest, which was protected by a bulletproof vest. The suspect, 30-year-old Christopher Elliott of Waitsburg, Wash., was found dead hours later near Clatskanie. An autopsy determined he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Samples tested for mosquito-borne virus PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon public health officials say federal laboratories are testing blood samples from two Lane County residents for a mosquito-borne virus that spread quickly in the Caribbean and is showing up in travelers from the United States. The virus is chikungunya.
It causes painful symptoms, such as fever and joint pains. It’s seldom fatal, The Eugene RegisterGuard reports that Lane County officials say local laboratory tests confirmed the virus in a man who traveled in the Caribbean. The state public health veterinarian, Dr. Emilio DeBess, says three Oregon cases have been under scrutiny: In one, the test results were negative. In the other two, results aren’t back from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. DeBess says the mosquitoes that transmit the disease aren’t found in Oregon.
Grand Ronde opening for weekend fishing ENTERPRISE (AP) — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is opening the lower Grand Ronde River to spring Chinook anglers this weekend. The department says the fishing from Friday through Monday will test the feasibility of a spring fishery of hatchery Chinook in the lower Grande Ronde River.

PORTLAND (AP) — When it comes to its no-fly list, the U.S. government has a choice to make. More than a dozen Muslims sued after learning they were likely on the list — something the government still won’t confirm — and they found their only recourse was to fill out an online appeal form. Then on Tuesday, a federal judge in Oregon ruled that the Department of Homeland Security must give people a better avenue to pursue a claim that they were wrongly put on the list. Now, the government can seek some way around U.S. District Judge Anna Brown’s order. Or, they can do what she asked. But Brown didn’t want to dictate the rules. In fact, federal prosecutors specifically told her in court, “We urge you not to take over the policymaking.” Instead, Brown set out a handful of guidelines that were issued by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in an unrelated case. She said the government must tell people what unclassified information was used to put them on the list. And if the information’s classified, at least tell them the nature and extent of it. She said it shouldn’t leave people without an option to
Early results mixed for Medicaid changes SALEM (AP) — Still smarting from the failure of the state’s online health insurance exchange, Oregon on Tuesday announced that a separate piece of Gov. John Kitzhaber’s health reforms is at least partly succeeding at improving care for Medicaid patients. Oregon enlisted so-called coordinated care organizations two years ago to oversee care for Medicaid patients. Kitzhaber secured almost $2 billion from the federal government on the promise that the program, unique to Oregon, would lead to better care and lower costs, in part by better managing chronic diseases and preventing avoidable hospital visits. A report issued by the Oregon Health Authority on Tuesday provided the first full-year data since the state’s 15 coordinated care organizations started seeing patients. It showed emergency room visits for Medicaid patients dropped by 17 percent in 2013 from two years earlier, and hospitalizations for heart and lung problems also were down. But there were lower scores on other measures, such as chlamydia and cervical cancer screenings and the admission rate for shortterm diabetes complications.

“We are quite pleased with the improvement,” said Lori Coyner, director of health analytics for the Oregon Health Authority. “We know that it’s a process...and some of the measures are going to improve a lot early on and some are going to take a little bit longer to come along.” For the first time, coordinated care organizations will earn a small portion of their pay based on their results. Each organization had 2 percent of its payments withheld over the year, creating a pool of $47 million that was distributed based on success at meeting targets on 17 of the 33 metrics studied. Ten coordinated care organizations received incentive money while five were docked pay. The care organizations showed wide divergence on some metrics, with several making significant progress while others fell back. Advocates say Oregon’s system of paying based on metrics gives doctors an incentive to focus more on their results than the number of procedures or visits. Many of the metrics measure the rate of screening for including diabetes, depression, substance abuse and various types of cancer.

challenge their status or make blanket rulings that ignore the specifics of people’s lives. “The (challenge) process falls far short of satisfying the requirements of due process,” Brown wrote in her ruling Tuesday. U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman Dena Iverson said government attorneys were reviewing the decision. “This should serve as a wake-up call to the government,” said American Civil Liberties Union attorney Hina Shamsi. “This decision also benefits other people wrongly stuck on the no-fly list because it affords them (an opportunity to challenge) a Kafkaesque bureaucracy.” Thirteen people — including four military veterans — challenged their placement on the list in 2010. Initially, Brown said she couldn’t rule on the case. In 2012, the 9th Circuit disagreed and sent the case back to her. Brown ruled in August that the 13 people challenging their presence on the list had a constitutional right to travel and, on Tuesday, found the government violated that right. “For many,” Brown wrote in Tuesday’s decision, “international travel is a necessary aspect of liberties sacred to members of a free society.”

DILBERT
Start saving, just do it! A recent column brought a flood of messages to my inbox, most of them with the same message that goes something like this: I want to save. I need to save. But I d o n ’ t have any EVERYDAY money to CHEAPSKATE s a v e ! How can I even get started when I am so close to the edge? First, l e t ’ s review: Mary When it Hunt comes to saving money, we Americans are a pathetic lot. Here we are blessed with the highest per capita income on the face of the earth, yet most recent data shows we’re saving 3.1 percent of our disposable income. Because that’s an average, that means a whole lot of you have nothing saved, nothing to fall back on in the event of an emergency or unexpected expense. It feels like you’re just one paycheck away from being homeless and that’s a terrible way to live and one of the greatest contributors to our collective stress. While not wishing to throw you into a panic, I really need to get tough on this. You must start saving! You have to see yourself as more important than your creditors. Get in line in front of them and pay yourself first! Just do it. When you get your paycheck, your refund, birthday money, etc., take the first part and stash it away. You don’t need a lot of money to start a real savings account. You can start with an envelope in your dresser drawer. Put a dollar in it. There. You’ve started saving. Make a commitment that you will keep adding to it no matter how little. The key is to save regularly, every week, rain or shine. And when you’ve accumulated $50, open a savings account at the bank or credit union. To help you get started, here are some very painless ways to get your stash off the ground: Stop using your debit card. The ease and convenience with which you use that thing is startling. You don’t realize it, but it allows money to slip through your hands like water. For your day-today spending, switch to cash. It is inconvenient and that’s the way it should be. Make it difficult for you to spend your own money. Stop spending coins. Even if the bill comes to $4.02, hand over a $5 bill and get $.98 in coins. Now, every evening empty your pockets, purse and wallet of all those coins into a container. If you think that won’t start adding up, think again. In one year my husband and I saved $1,100 in coins simply because he doesn’t like to carry them around. Take the coupon savings in cash. Next time you shop for groceries, ask the checker to give you the subtotal before deducting the value of all your coupons. Write your check for the subtotal, and then receive cash back for the difference. Go directly to your savings place and stash that cash. Now you’re really saving at the grocery store. Stash all windfa lls. A windfall is simply money you were not expecting. It might be a $1 rebate check for light bulbs, $25 from your aunt for your birthday, a quarter you found in the street or tax refund. Instead of seeing this as money to spend, save it! Automatic deduction. The most painless way to save is through automatic payroll deductions. You don’t miss what you don’t see. Sure you might miss that $20 or $50 in your check next week, even the next. But in time, you’ll completely forget about it. But your savings account won’t. Your goal should be to save 10 percent of everything you receive, without fail. Seem like an impossible dream? Not at all. Just start small, start today and keep going one coin, one dollar, one percentage point at a time!

D I G E S T Ukraine to sign EU trade agreement KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — On Friday, Ukraine will sign a sweeping economic and trade agreement with the European Union, a 1,200page telephone book of a document crammed with rules on everything from turkeys to tulips, cheese to machinery. Yet the agreement is far more than just fine print for experts — it was the catalyst of a revolution that killed scores of Ukrainians and toppled a president. The hope now is it that it will spark another kind of revolution, this one in Ukraine’s corrupt, underperforming economy. The deal holds out the promise of sweeping change in a country rich in people and resources, but which has lagged behind many of its former Soviet peers.
China sends ministerlevel official to Taiwan TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — China has sent its first ever ministerial-level official to Taiwan for four days of meetings to rebuild ties with the self-ruled island that Beijing claims as its own, after mass protests in Taipei set back relations earlier this year. Zhang Zhijun, minister of Beijing’s Taiwan Affairs Office, reached the island’s main airport just before noon Wednesday to speak privately with his government counterpart. He sidestepped scores of anti-China protesters to enter a nearby hotel for the talks. China and Taiwan have been separately ruled since the Chinese civil war of the 1940s. China sees the island as part of its territory that eventually must be reunified — by force if necessary — despite a Taiwanese public largely wary of the notion of Chinese rule.
Researcher charged in HIV vaccine fraud case IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Responding to a major case of research misconduct, federal prosecutors have taken the rare step of filing charges against a scientist after he admitted falsifying data that led to millions in grants and hopes of a breakthrough in AIDS vaccine research. Investigators say former Iowa State University laboratory manager Dong-Pyou Han has confessed to spiking samples of rabbit blood with human antibodies to make an experimental HIV vaccine appear to have great promise. After years of work and millions in National Institutes of Health grants, another laboratory uncovered irregularities that suggested the results — once hailed as groundbreaking — were bogus. Han was indicted last week on four counts of making false statements, each of which carries up to five years in prison. He was set to be arraigned Tuesday in Des Moines, but he didn’t show up due to an apparent paperwork mix-up. A prosecutor said Han will be given another chance to appear next week.
Washington prepares for marijuana sales OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — As Washington state prepares to issue the first licenses for marijuana retail stores, Gov. Jay Inslee and other state leaders on Tuesday announced steps the state is taking to keep pot out of the hands of minors, including making sure that labels marijuana-related aren’t attractive to kids. “Those who have led the effort to legalize this product understand that we’ve got to make sure that parents’ roles are respected and emphasized and that the health of our children is of our paramount concern,” Inslee said. Different state agencies are working together “to make sure the public has the information they need to make healthy decisions, and the tools that they need to keep our kids safe,” he said. The Liquor Control Board will issue about 20 retail licenses on July 7, and the stores that are ready can open the next day. More stores will get licensed in the following days.
ARRIAGA, Mexico (AP) — On the last day of school Gladys Chinoy memorized her mother’s phone number in New York City and boarded a bus to Guatemala’s northern border. With nothing but the clothes on her back, the 14year-old took a truck-tire raft across the Naranjo River into Mexico and joined a group of five women and a dozen children waiting with one of the smugglers who are paid $6,000 to $7,000 for each migrant they take to the U.S. The women and children waited by the train tracks in this small town in the southern state of Chiapas until the shriek of a train whistle and the glare of headlights pierced the night. Suddenly, dozens of teens and mothers with young children flooded out of darkened homes and budget hotels, rushing to grab the safest places on the roof of the northbound freight train and join a deluge of children and mothers that is overwhelming the U.S. immigration system. The number of unaccompanied minors detained on the U.S. border has more than tripled since 2011.Children are also widely believed to be crossing with their parents in rising numbers, although the Obama administration has not released year-by-year figures. The crisis has sparked weeks of bitter political debate inside the U.S., with the administration saying crime is driving migrants north from Central America and congressional Republicans saying Obama’s policies is leading migrants to believe children and their mothers will be allowed to stay. In interviews along the primary migrant route north to the United States, dozens of migrants like Gladys indicated that both sides are right. A vast majority said they were fleeing gang violence that has reached epidemic levels in
The Associated Press
Central American migrants use trash bags and cardboard to protect themselves from the rain as they wait atop a stuck freight train, outside Reforma de Pineda, Chiapas state, Mexico. The first leg of the long cross-country train journey, to Ixtepec in Oaxaca, typically takes 12-14 hours. On this occasion, the migrants had to endure alternate exposure to rain, cold, and heat for two full days, as the train suffered a minor derailment in a remote area halfway to Ixtepec.
Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador in recent years. The migrants also uniformly said they decided to head north because they had heard that a change in U.S. law requires the Border Patrol to swiftly release children and their mothers and let them stay in the United States. The belief that women and children can safely surrender to authorities the moment they set foot in the U.S. has changed the calculus of tens of thousands of parents who no longer worry about their children finishing the dangerous trip north through Mexico with a potentially deadly multiday hike through the desert Southwest. “The United States is giving us a great opportunity because now, with this new law, we don’t have to try to cross the desert where so
many people die. We can hand ourselves over directly to the authorities,” Gladys said, adding that she hopes to become a doctor. The smiling teenager with long black hair said she was more excited about seeing her mother again than she was scared about the trip. Her mother said she was aware of the dangers but finally decided the risk was worth it after five years apart. Reached by phone at home, the mother said she decided to send for her daughter because “if she gets across she can stay here, that’s what you hear.” “Now they say that all children need to do is hand themselves over to the Border Patrol,” said the mother, who declined to provide her name because she is in the U.S. illegally.
The migrants’ faith isn’t totally misplaced. While Mexicans generally are returned across the border quickly when they’re caught, overwhelmed border facilities leave the government with no way to care for most Central American children and their parents. The Central American minors who cross the border alone have generally been released into the care of relatives already in the U.S., while mothers with children are let go with a notice to appear later in immigration court. While many children and families may eventually be ordered out of the U.S., many are reporting in calls back home that they’re free to move around the U.S. while their cases wend through a process that can take years. The Obama administra-
tion estimates that between October 2013 and September 2014 it will have caught 90,000 children trying to illegally cross the Mexican border without their parents. Last year, the U.S. returned fewer than 2,000 children to their native countries. “The story is that you have to give yourself up to the Border Patrol, provide a contact in the United States and you’ll be freed even though they give you a court date far in the future,” said Ruben Figueroa, a member of the Mesoamerica Migrant Movement, who works in a shelter for migrants crossing the southeast Mexico state of Tabasco. “If you combine this information with the violence in the streets and extortion keeping people from living their lives, the result is a massive exodus.”
US weighs lawsuits on alleged insurance kickbacks
The Associated Press
Russian President Vladimir Putin listens to Swiss President and OSCE chairperson in office Didier Burkhalter during talks with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, OSCE, in Vienna, Austria. The United States and its European allies are finalizing a package of sanctions on Russia's key economic sectors that could be levied as early as this week, though the package might be delayed because of positive signals from Putin, administration officials and others close to the decision-making said Tuesday.
Officials: Sanctions on Russia could be delayed WASHINGTON (AP) — Sanctions aimed at key economic sectors in Russia because of its threatening moves in Ukraine might be delayed because of positive signals from Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Obama administration officials. The United States and its European allies were finalizing a package of sanctions with the goal of putting them in place as early as this week, the officials and others close to the process said Tuesday. Penalizing large swaths of the Russian economy, including its lucrative energy industry, would ratchet up the West’s punishments against Moscow. The U.S. and Europe have already sanctioned Russian individuals and entities, including some with close ties to Putin, but have so far stayed away from the broader penalties, in part because of concern from European countries that have close economic ties with Russia. But with the crisis in Ukraine stretching on, a senior U.S. official said the U.S. and Europe are moving forward on “common sanctions options” that would affect several areas of the Russian
economy. A Western diplomat said those options included Russia’s energy industry, as well as Moscow’s access to world financial markets. The U.S. and Europe have been eyeing a European Council meeting in Brussels later this week as an opportunity to announce the coordinated sanctions. However, the enthusiasm for new sanctions, particularly among European leaders, appears to have waned in recent days as countries evaluate whether Putin plans to follow through on a series of promises that could ease the crisis, officials said. The Russian leader acted Tuesday to rescind a parliaresolution mentary authorizing him to use the Russian military in Ukraine; on Wednesday, the parliament’s upper house canceled it. Putin also urged the new Ukrainian government to extend a weeklong cease-fire and called for talks between Ukraine and pro-Russian rebels who are widely believed to be backed by the Kremlin. Putin’s moves came one day after he talked by phone with President Barack Obama, their first known
conversation in more than two weeks. The threat of sector sanctions may be driving Putin to try to avoid penalties that could have a devastating impact on the already shaky Russian economy. However, there were no guarantees that Moscow would abide by the West’s requests to pull back its troops from the Ukrainian border, stop arming separatists and negotiate seriously with Kiev. Indeed, there were signs Tuesday of just how fragile the situation on the ground remains. Hours after Putin called for the cease-fire to be extended, pro-Moscow separatists shot down a Ukrainian military helicopkilling nine ter, servicemen. Vice President Joe Biden spoke to Ukraine’s new president, Petro Poroshenko, for the third time in as many days and offered his condolences for the deaths. The White House said Biden also underscored the importance of having monitors in place in Ukraine to verify violations of the cease-fire, as well as the need to stop the supply of weapons and militants from flowing across the Russian border.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is considering whether to sue banks and other mortgage servicers to recover its losses from alleged insurance kickbacks that may have cost government-controlled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac hundreds of millions of dollars,according to an internal report. The Federal Housing Finance Agency, which is responsible for guarding Fannie and Freddie’s finances, told its inspector general’s office that it will consider filing the lawsuits and will make a formal decision over the next year. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which have been under the FHFA’s conservatorship since 2008, lost an estimated $168 million from the fees in 2012 alone, according to the report by the FHFA’s inspector general. The FHFA didn’t accept the inspector general’s estimate of damages, but the agency’s official response
to the report said it “does not object” to the recommendation that it consider suing. Banks and other mortgage servicers that might be subject to such lawsuits did not immediately respond to phone calls and email messages seeking comment on the threat of litigation. Though the FHFA barred banks and other mortgage servicers from collecting payments from insurers on June 1, the agency does not normally discuss prospective litigation and has not previously indicated that it might consider suing over past misbehavior. Should the FHFA decide in favor of such litigation, the lawsuits could reopen a controversy over how the country’s biggest banks profited from what is known as “force-placed insurance,” a high-cost version of property insurance that protects the homes of uninsured borrowers.
Palestinian prisoners in Israel end hunger strike JERUSALEM (AP) — Dozens of Palestinian prisoners on Wednesday ended their 63-day-long hunger strike after reaching a deal with Israeli prison authorities, a Palestinian official said. The development comes against the backdrop of a broad Israeli ground operation in the West Bank in search of three Israeli teens who went missing in the Palestinian territory nearly two weeks ago. There have also been near-daily rocket attacks from Gaza, prompting Israeli airstrikes in retaliation. Earlier Wednesday, a rocket fired by Palestinian militants toward Israel exploded in the northern Gaza Strip, killing a 3-yearold Palestinian girl and wounding three other people, a Gaza health official said. A Gaza security official said the militants’ rocket exploded prematurely inside the coastal strip. Both Palestinian officials spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized to talk to media. Since 2012, Palestinian prisoners have staged a series of hunger strikes, sometimes as individuals and sometimes in larger groups to protest “administrative detention,” a policy that can keep some prisoners in custody for months without charges. Israel has defended the practice as a necessary tool to stop militant activity, including attacks. About 5,000 Palestinians are imprisoned in Israel for offenses ranging from rock throwing to deadly militant attacks. Of those, some 190 are administrative detainees,while another 143 Palestinians detained in recent raids have also been held under the policy. The latest hunger strike was launched April 24 and involved 77 prisoners, according to Qadoura Fares, an advocate for Palestinian prisoners. It ended Wednesday after the deal was struck with Israel Prisons Authority, said Minister of Prisoner Affairs Shawqi Al-Aissa.

2013, according to a report by Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon. That doesn’t necessarily mean more kids are hungry, said AmeriCorps member Luke Rushing, who’s working with Coos Bay schools’ summer lunch program this year. “The economic data hasn’t changed,” he said. “Access has increased, not the problem.” Coos Bay’s mobile meal delivery is in its second year. The district took a van to 12 sites last year, and snagged grant funding for a second van this summer. During test snack runs last week, around 75 children showed up in one day. Those numbers will only increase as the summer goes on. Rushing is mapping homes of children who qualified for free or reduced price lunch this school year. He wants to see if there are pockets of children the system is missing in order to possibly add more delivery routes. While 60 percent of Coos Bay students qualify for free or reduced price lunch, that spikes to nearly 80 percent on the west side. Many parents don’t fill out the application due to disability or illiteracy, said Coos Bay schools accountant Diane Follansbee, who oversees the summer meals program. “A few years ago, kids were not coming out to the meal sites, not because they weren’t hungry but because they couldn’t get here,” she said. Many of the kids who show up at the mobile meal sites do so alone. Their mothers and/or fathers have to work long hours to make ends meet, Rushing said, so their children sometimes have to get lunch on their
it,” said timber Deputy Brandon Fountain of the Linn County Sheriff’s Office. “And it’s overlooked how big of an issue this is.” Firewood is commonly taken illegally, as is moss. Fountain said he stopped a suspect a few weeks ago with 600 pounds of moss in his pickup. Eventually, that illegally harvested product was to make its way to a national retailer for sale at $9 for less than a pound, he said. “Think of the market value of that,” he said. Forest deputies such as Fountain and a counterpart in Benton County, Brent Iverson, aren’t alone in the woods. They’re in contact with federal land managers and timber company workers. They say people who want to harvest forest products should generally call the U.S. of Land Bureau Management, U.S. Forest or Oregon Service

Luke Rushing loads up chicken patty sandwiches at Blossom Gulch Elementary School on Monday morning. When the cases and van are loaded, he heads out on a summer lunch route around Coos Bay. Rushing is an Ameri-Corps volunteer helping with the program this summer in Coos Bay through the school district. own. In terms of the percentage of kids eating free or reduced price lunch during the school year, who also eat free summer lunch, Coos County ranks ninth statewide with 34 percent participating. Curry County ranks second, with 60 percent participating. Follansbee hopes the fruit and vegetable snacks students get during the school day will expose them to healthy eating they don’t see at home. As Rushing and Follansbee drove up to Taylor/Wasson Park on Monday, children scattered across the playground lined up single file, waiting patiently for their lunch. “Some never see their parents or live in trailers half-burnt out,” Rushing said. “It can be really nightmareish.” The mobile sites are also providing free books, athletic equipment and toys this summer. The North Bend School District also oversees Coquille and Reedsport’s food service programs, providing summer meals to kids at 33 sites in the three communities, plus Myrtle Point.
Bandon is also providing free meals this summer. This fall, both the Myrtle Point and Reedsport school districts will enter into the Community Eligibility Provision for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. All students, regardless of family income, will be able to get free breakfast and lunch at school every day. In the 2013-2014 school year, 54 percent of Oregon students were eligible for free or reduced price lunch, an 11 percent increase in 10 years. “For some students, the meals they receive at school may be the only reliable, nutritious food they can count on,” said Oregon Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Rob Saxton in a news release. “The arrival of summer can increase concerns over food insecurity as families struggle to put food on the table. These meals help provide vital nutrition so that our students can stay healthy and hunger-free over the summer months.” Find more information at www.summerfoodoregon.org or www.whyhunger.org/findfood.

IRAQ No timeline for withdrawal Continued from Page A1 in Iraq to about 560. Kirby also said the U.S. was conducting up to 35 surveillance missions over Iraq daily to provide intelligence on the situation on the ground as Iraqi troops battle the aggressive and fastmoving insurgency. President Barack Obama last week announced he would send as many as 300 advisers into Iraq to assess and advise Iraqi security forces. Part of that plan involved setting up two joint operating centers — one in Baghdad and the other in northern Iraq, where a lot of the fighting has taken place. The teams, largely made up of Army Green Berets, will evaluate the readiness of the Iraqi troops and their senior headquarters commanders in an effort to determine how

Department of Forestry for information on permits. Some timber companies also will issue permits. Iverson stressed that not everyone harvesting forest products is a crook. “There are also legit people out there that are doing this work and making a living,” he said. Some of those harvesting illegally do so in camps marked by trash and the rubber bands and twine used for bundling their products, Iverson said. Sometimes the large camps will even hire poachers to provide food for the harvesters, Iverson said. “They are a huge criminal network,” Iverson said. In the salal investigation, Iverson said, the suspects had harvest permits but were over their weight limits by thousands of pounds. A Washington state man was accused of theft and three others were accused of illegal cutting or transport. Iverson said a dump truck hauled the salal from the warehouse, but couldn’t do it in one load. “That’s the biggest (salal case) in the state in the last 20 or 25 years that anybody’s heard of,” he said.
best the U.S. can bolster the security force and where other additional advisers might be needed. Kirby said the initial assessments from the teams could be completed in the next two weeks to three weeks, but he said there was no timeline for how long the troops would be in Iraq. “I don’t have a fixed date for you as a deadline or an end date, but it’s very clear this will be a limited, shortterm mission,” he said. He said the insurgency was well organized and aided by foreign fighters and Sunni sympathizers in the country. The briefing for all senators Tuesday evening was led by Anne Patterson, the top U.S. diplomat for the Mideast, and included military and intelligence officials. “There is some hope that a new government can be formed fairly soon,” Graham told reporters afterward. He said U.S. airstrikes probably would be necessary at some point.
LNG Veresen funding follows permits Continued from Page A1 urged people on any side of the issue to attend the hearings. FERC only circulates the final EIS, rather than holding additional public hearings. Hinrichs expects a final EIS to appear around five months after public comment is received. That means construction wouldn’t begin until second quarter 2015, a few months later than Jordan Cove originally anticipated. “That’s a year from now,” he said. “That’s a big shift to go from a theoretical idea to breaking ground on a nearly $8 billion project.” Inc., Jordan Veresen Cove’s parent company based in Calgary, Alberta, needs to secure financing through banks and equity partners. No bank would gamble on a project of this magnitude now without seeing permit approval and established contracts with LNG customers, he said. If Jordan Cove gets the goahead, it will be the first LNG export terminal on the West Coast of the continental U.S. and the closest to Asian markets. “Three years ago, we were trying to chase down customers,” he said. “Now they’re lining up. This is strategically viable for them.” The finish line, if and when Jordan Cove receives its perfinancing, equity mits, partners and customer contracts, is Veresen’s Final Investment Decision. That decision won’t happen until “a few weeks before we break ground,” Hinrichs said. “When the Veresen board says go, it won’t be a soft go,” he said. “They will start spending hundreds of millions of dollars immediately. Yes, there will be a groundbreaking ceremony and that’s nice, but an hour later, once those gold shovels are gone — the big machinery will come in, start working, and it won’t stop for four years.” Reporter Chelsea Davis can be reached at 541-269-1222, ext. 239, or by email at chelsea.davis@theworldlink.com.

Search for a home court Perceive this as a little gentle pandering, but this place is gorgeous. Coos Bay. North Bend. The Bay Area. We live inside a Bob Ross painting. And if it wasn’t for playing pick-up basketball, I doubt I’d ever go outside, let alone experience the coast. So here’s my question: Why haven’t we married the two with an outdoor basketball venue that shows off the coast? There’s really not a single court that even hints at the body of water an earshot away? No singular home base for errant ballers to flock to? The only consistent games I know about in the area are at 6 p.m. Sunday at North Bend High School. And they’re inside. “A nice outdoor court with lights would be nice,” four-year local pickup vet Nate Dodd explained. I like to call him “Instant Offense” since he’s one of the only tall and polished true post players in the area. Never to his face though, the added hubris could give his shot a hitch. “There are no true places in this town where you can randomly show up for a true pick-up game like I did when I was a kid.” This is not Venice Beach. You won’t see Billy SPORTS Hoyle heaving half-court hook shots at a Sudanese flag like in White Men Can’t Jump. But we do live in a coastal community that somehow skates without a repoutdoor GEORGE utable court for spontaARTSITAS neous pick up games. Put it this way: There’s a better chance of the real Rosie Perez making it on Jeopardy than ever seeing a 5-on-5 game outside in the Bay Area. It’s infuriating, especially considering the Bay Area isn’t without interested players willing to run a game. I play basketball everyday. (Please restrain your urges and stay seated while you applaud). Most days I go by myself and find a kid or two shooting by themselves. Almost every time they came willing to play a game, they just needed more bodies. Take Patrick Hindle, a 24-yearold fishery observer from Plantation, Fla. Hindle went from the refinished outdoor courts at Florida Gulf Coast University to slogging though a three-person game of 21 at Southwestern Oregon Community College’s Recreation Center. “I’m down on any game. 2 vs. 2, 5 vs. 5. (I) just want to workout,” Hindle said. He shopped around for a place to play when he moved here three months ago. “I scoped out the area for a week and decided the college was the best place to get a competitive game.” Still, on Monday, Hindle was taking mid-range jumpers by himself at SWOCC before I came up and asked him to run 1-on-1 (He beat me every time). And there are dozens of Hindles in the Bay Area. Plenty of guys and gals, ages 16-through-70, who want to run pick-up but don’t know how. Or more accurately, where. “There’s a solid group for sure,” Max Thompson said, a stocky point guard-type who owns Bay Area Property Management outside the lines. “I think that if we could get more organization in the form of information passing, we would fill any court really.” Getting people organized is just an issue of proactivity. That’s easy. Sustaining interest requires a desirable venue, and the choices around here simply don’t live up to a reasonable standard. Blossom Gulch Elementary School and Sunset Middle School both have great outdoor courts, but they’re underneath roofs. What on Earth is the point of having an outdoor hoop under a roof in the summer? To keep people pale? So stray bats have a home? Heaven forbid the city manu-

United States' goalkeeper Tim Howard, center, reaches a ball ahead of Portugal's Bruno Alves, right, during a match between the USA and Portugal on Sunday.
U.S. hopes are in his hands Americans can advance with a win or draw against Germany on Thursday at 9 a.m. BY JANIE MCCAULEY The Associated Press
RECIFE, Brazil — Tim Howard rarely makes it through a game without accepting multiple celebratory embraces from relieved American teammates. It happens almost every time the U.S. goalkeeper launches his solid, 6-foot-3 frame to make spectacular saves — diving, leaping and even punching the ball away for difficult stops. There were a number of such moments Sunday night in a 2-2 tie against Portugal, and the Americans are counting on more of the same when they face three-time champion Germany on Thursday with a berth in the World Cup’s knockout round at stake. The 35-year-old Howard will reach an impressive milestone in the process: The Group G finale will be his 103rd international appearance, passing Kasey Keller for the most by an American goalkeeper. Not that it’s even on Howard’s mind with
the U.S. trying to reach the knockout stage of consecutive World Cups for the first time. The Americans were in position to advance Sunday before they surrendered a goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time in buggy, muggy Manaus. When Varela’s header sailed into the net off a beautiful cross from two-time world player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo, Howard instantly put his hands on his head and sighed. If only the game had ended about 30 seconds earlier. “Football’s cruel sometimes. It ebbs and flows,” said Howard, who has seven saves through two games. “We try and take every result as it comes. Our training sessions have been light and lively. We’ve got a great chance in the Group of Death, they say, to go through and advance, so we’re excited. I think we had one foot in the door, so there’s a small bit of disappointment.” One of the best goalkeepers in the world and a star with Everton in England’s Premier League, Howard had 15 shutouts — one behind co-leaders Petr Cech of Chelsea and Wojciech
Szczesny of Arsenal — in 37 league matches this season before joining the Americans last month for training camp in Northern California. A back four of defenders that was scrutinized ahead of this World Cup for its lack of experience is quick to hug the big man. Howard’s hollering is something each player considers one of the most important factors in keeping everybody organized. “He had three or four huge saves. That’s what we expect from him,” central defender Matt Besler said. “One of Tim Howard’s biggest qualities is his communication. He gets the best out of everybody. Everything starts with him. The organization. The confidence. He’s talking to us almost too much it feels like, but it’s great. I tell him I never want him to stop talking. Even if I know what to do, he’s still telling me what to do. Everything kind of starts with him.” Portugal certainly peppered him with shot SEE HOWARD | B2
Uruguay’s Suarez bites opponent BY JIM VERTUNO The Associated Press NATAL, Brazil — Biting opponents, racist comments — all that looked to be behind Luis Suarez, as soccer’s bad boy was maturing into a star for his club and country. Then, the old habit that most people leave behind in nursery school cropped up again in front of an audience of millions. Faced with a smothering and frustrating Italian defense in a must-win World Cup game Tuesday, the Uruguayan superstar responded with his front teeth. It came about the 80th minute when Suarez and Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini got tangled up in
front of the Italy goal. The apparent chomp happened in an instant, but caught by television cameras, it became a worldwide sensation and could lead to Suarez being kicked out of the World Cup. The referee didn’t see a bite, and no foul was called despite Chiellini pleading and pulling down his jersey to show a red mark on his shoulder. About a minute later, Uruguay scored the winning goal in a 1-0 game that sent Italy home. Uruguay will continue playing, but the federation that runs the World Cup will investigate and may suspend Suarez, who has SEE BITE | B2

Venus overcomes a slow start to advance BY STEPHEN WILSON
BY DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press
BETHESDA, Md. — About two dozen photographers lined up in a row on the range Tuesday at Congressional, a reminder that golf is different when Tiger Woods is around. And that was before Woods even arrived to hit balls for 35 minutes. He was last seen wearing golf shoes on March 9, when he walked gingerly off the golf course at Doral with back pain that had been bothering him off and on since August 2012 and finally reached a point that he chose surgery over playing two majors. Woods returns at the Quicken Loans National with big hopes and realistic expectations — and with no pain. Asked for an opening comment on where he is with his recovery, Woods smiled and said, “I’m right here.” “It’s been an interesting road,”
Woods said. “This has been quite a tedious little process, but been one where I got to a point where I can play competitive golf again. And it’s pretty exciting.” Dressed in black, with shoes the company colors of his new endorsement deal (MusclePharm), Woods turned the routine into news. After each booming tee shot, he casually walked forward a few paces, stooped to pick up his tee and to reload for the next shot. Woods, who had back surgery on March 31, said the British Open was his target all along. He was candid in saying he might not be playing the Quicken Loans National — this is the first year for a new title sponsor — if it did not benefit his foundation. That’s not to suggest he is coming back too early. Woods said he has been in constant contact with doctors and trainers as he slowly expanded his swing from chipping SEE WOODS | B2

LONDON — Five-time champion Venus Williams overcame a slow start to beat Japan’s Kurumi Nara 7-6 (4), 6-1 on Wednesday to reach the third round of a major for only the second time in her last 10 Grand Slam tournaments. The 30th-seeded American won six straight points in the tiebreaker and ran off six straight games in the second set to beat 41st-ranked Nara on Court 3 at the All England Club. “In the tiebreaker that’s when it comes down to who’s going to be more consistent and more aggressive,” Williams said. “In the beginning she was, but thankfully I was able to turn it around.” Williams’ next opponent could be 2011 champion Petra Kvitova, the sixth-seeded Czech left-hander who was playing Mona Barthel later Wednesday.
“I think we both play similar games, really go for it,” Williams said. “She’s one of the kind of players who can get kind of hot against me.” Williams, winner of seven Grand Slam titles, lost in the first round in her last appearance at Wimbledon in 2012. The only other time she has made it past the second round in her last 10 Grand Slams was at the 2013 Australian Open. She hasn’t reached the fourth round at a major since Wimbledon in 2011. The 6-foot-1 Williams towered over Nara, the shortest player in the women’s top 100 at 5-foot-1. The American served seven aces and had 43 winners. Nara had only five unforced errors, but just 16 winners. Nara took a medical timeout at the end of the first set and received treatment from the trainer on her upper left leg durSEE WIMBLEDON | B3

Tiger Woods catches a ball at the driving range as he practices at the Quicken Loans National on Tuesday in Bethesda, Md.
WOODS British Open is three weeks off From Page B1 and putting to irons to wedges, all the way through the bag until he started swinging the driver a few weeks ago. He tried to add 10 yards of distance every couple of days, taking a break and getting treatment on days it didn’t feel quite right. When he started putting, he would fill the holes on his practice green with sand to keep from bending over to pluck the ball out of the cup. When he felt strong enough to play, he said he would ride while standing on the back of the cart to avoid too much sitting. Woods always has said he doesn’t play if he doesn’t think he can win. That’s still the objective, sprinkled with some reality. It will have been 109 days without PGA Tour competition when he tees it up Thursday morning with
Jordan Spieth and Jason Day. “Expectations don’t change,” Woods said. “That’s the ultimate goal. It’s just that it’s going to be a little bit harder this time. I just haven’t had the amount of prep and reps that I would like. But I’m good enough to play, and I’m going to give it a go.” The British Open is July 17-20 at Royal Liverpool, where Woods won in 2006 after missing the cut in a major for the first time at the U.S. Open. It also was his first major since his father died. Woods collected his 14th major two years later while playing on a shattered left leg at Torrey Pines. He hasn’t won another since then, leaving him four short of the standard set by Jack Nicklaus. He can’t win if he doesn’t play, so this would be an important first step. “I think there’s always a fascination in terms of watching Tiger play golf and the run that he’s been on throughout his career and what he still has to achieve in terms of his goals,” Justin
Rose said. “I think golf will get really exciting if he starts winning a couple more majors and the race to 18 becomes incredibly on again. I think that’s incredibly exciting for the game of golf and will draw a lot more interest in the game once again.” There’s already more interest. Organizers said ticket sales were double what they normally are on a Friday before the tournament, the day Woods announced his return. This is the second time in four years that Woods has missed a three-month portion of the season because of injuries. He played only nine holes from April to August in 2011 while letting his leg injuries fully heal. The difference this time was his lifestyle. Woods said he couldn’t function in the weeks leading to his microdiscectomy surgery at the end of March. “Anyone that has had any kind of nerve impingement, it’s not a joke,” he said. “That part was relieved as soon as I got out of the surgery. That
nerve impingement, that pain that I was feeling going down my leg was gone. “I’ve heard numerous people talk about it, and I’ve had people come up to me and say they had the same procedure and got their life back and that’s basically how I felt. I was able to do things, and do things that I normally took for granted.” Woods jokingly said he broke 50 when he played at home, just like he did when he was 3. “My prime is coming up,” he said. He has looked like an old 38 in recent years because of injuries and surgeries, though he is learning how to gauge his training. He recalled his younger days when he would run 30 miles a week, even if he was hurt, unaware the damage he was doing to his body. “I have to now pick my spots when I can and can’t push,” he said. “Before, when you’re young, I just pushed it all the time. But now I’ve got to listen to my body, listen to my therapist and then get treatment. When I was younger, I didn’t need it.”
Toledo coach leads PGA Professional MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — University of Toledo coach Jamie Broce shot a 1-under 71 on Tuesday to increase his lead to three strokes in the PGA Professional National Championship. The 37-year-old Broce had three birdies and two bogeys at The Dunes Golf & Beach Club to reach 5-under 211. He opened with a 68 at The Dunes and had a 72 on Monday at Grande Dunes. “It was a long day and I didn’t have a lot of rhythm,” Broce said. “I hit some loose iron shots today, but made up for it by getting everything up and down. I’m absolutely happy with how I played.” The top 20 Wednesday will get spots in the PGA Championship in August at Valhalla in Louisville, Kentucky. “I don’t know what tomorrow will bring or necessarily what a good score
BITE Not the star’s first incident From Page B1 twice before been disciplined for biting opponents in league games. FIFA officially announced an investigation early Wednesday, saying the Urguayans had until late the next afternoon to present evidence. A ruling will be announced before Uruguay plays Colombia on Saturday. Suarez didn’t confirm or deny the bite, but said he was angry that Chiellini — one of the best defenders in the world and known for his physical play — had hit him in the eye during the game. “These are things that happen on the pitch, we were both in the area, he thrust his shoulder into me,” Suarez said in Spanish. “These things happen on the pitch, and we don’t have to give them so much (importance).” Suarez, 27, should be celebrating a career year. After asking to be sold before the season, he stayed with Liverpool, won the scoring title and was named English Premier League’s player of the year. Now, he’ll have to try to
will be, depending on the wind and the conditions,” said Broce, who got into the field as an alternate. “But hopefully, whatever they may be, I will just go out and execute.” Michael Block was second after a 72. He’s the PGA head professional at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California. Karen Paolozzi, the third female player in tournament history, made the 54-hole cut by two strokes. Playing from tees in front of the men, she was tied for 60th at 8 over after a 78. A former Indiana University player, the 31-year-old Paolozzi is a PGA assistant professional at Druid Hills in Atlanta. She isn’t eligible to earn a spot in the PGA Championship because she didn’t play from the men’s tees last fall when she qualified by beating Broce on the fifth extra hole in the Northern Ohio
start rehabbing his reputation again. Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez and Suarez’s teammates immediately defended their star. “I want to say that if he’s attacked, as it has begun in this press conference, we’ll also defend him, because this is a football World Cup, not of cheap morality,” said Tabarez, who said he didn’t see a bite. Suarez was suspended following biting incidents in the Netherlands in 2010 and in England in 2013. He also was suspended for racially abusing an opponent. British tabloids have teasingly called him a vampire, and social media artists have had fun manipulating his photo into images of Dracula and Hannibal Lecter. And he was responsible for one of the most talked-about moments of the 2010 World Cup, when he purposefully used his hand to prevent a Ghana goal near the end of the quarterfinals. Suarez received a red card and was banned for the next game, but Ghana missed the penalty kick and was eliminated. Uruguay defender and team captain Diego Lugano suggested Suarez was a victim of his past. “You need to show me because I didn’t see any-
PGA Section Championship.
Li meets her favorite player Lucy Li’s favorite player is Webb Simpson, mainly because The Olympic Club is her favorite course and Simpson won the U.S. Open at Olympic. So it shouldn’t be surprising that before the U.S. Women’s Open began, the 11-yearold said her coolest moment was meeting Webb Simpson. How they met is even better. It was the opening round of the U.S. Open, and Simpson said there were several kids outside the clubhouse wanting an autograph. He noticed one young girl with braces who stayed there, not holding out anything to be signed. “I said, ‘Do you need me to sign something?”’ Simpson said Tuesday. “She said, ‘No, I’m playing in the tournament next week.”’
thing. Did you see it today or did you see what happened in other years?” Lugano said. “The worst of all was Chiellini’s attitude ... as sportsmen leaving the field, crying and appealing against a rival.” On the field immediately after the match, Suarez looked relieved to have pulled out the victory in the heat of this tropical coastal city. If Uruguay had lost, it would have been knocked out of the World Cup After taking off his jersey, Suarez walked to a corner of the stadium, clapped and flashed his toothy smile as he waved to the thousands of Uruguay fans chanting and cheering his name. FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, can sanction players with bans of up to two years. FIFA had no immediate comment. FIFA Vice President Jim Boyle said on British television that Suarez had let himself down again. “There is no doubt Luis Suarez is a fantastic footballer but, once again, his actions have left him open to severe criticism,” Boyle, who is also chairman of the FIFA referees’ committee, said from his home in Northern Ireland. “FIFA must investigate the incident seriously.” Chiellini said Suarez
should have been kicked out of the game. “Not sending off Suarez (was) ridiculous,” Chiellini said. “It was absolutely clear. There’s even a mark.” Suarez’s status for the World Cup had been in doubt after he had left knee surgery just a month before it started. He missed Uruguay’s 3-1 opening loss to Costa Rica, but returned with a flourish to rescue Uruguay with both goals in a 2-1 win over England. After the victory, he claimed vengeance against some of the British media he accused of treating him badly. This was supposed to be the World Cup where Suarez repaired his reputation. He tried to rebrand himself as a family man after the birth of his two children, a son and daughter. Suarez said he regretted his previous biting incidents, telling the Mirror newspaper in London recently that he worried what his children will think. “That thought almost hurts me more than the actual deed. The fact, as well, that I will have to explain one day to my kids that it was me, their father,” Suarez said. “That has kept me awake at night many times ... I want to be a father they can be proud of.”
Costa Rica finished first in what many considered the World Cup’s toughest group after a dour, scoreless draw against England. Costa Rica only needed a draw to top Group D and played that way, setting up in a defensive 5-3-2 formation. The result gives Costa Rica its best World Cup performance, winning a group that contained former three world champions. “We will have to keep fighting,” Costa Rica coach Jorge Luis Pinto said. “Whatever happens we are willing to fight.” England lost its first two matches to Italy and Uruguay, while Costa Rica surprisingly won its first two. Uruguay also advanced from the group after beating Italy 1-0. England had already been eliminated and will go home without a win after striker Daniel Sturridge missed a number of chances throughout the match. One of Sturridge’s best opportunities came in the 65th after a nice one-two with midfielder Jack Wilshere. But the forward’s curling shot from the right just missed squeezing inside the far post. Greece 2, Ivory Coast 1: Georgios Samaras scored an injury-time penalty to send Greece into the second round of the World Cup for the first time, eliminating Ivory Coast in the process. Samaras was adjudged to have been tripped in the area by substitute Giovanni Sio, and calmly slotted in the spot kick for the win. Ivory Coast would have advanced with a draw. “This means so much to me, to us ... Tonight we had energy,” Samaras said, dedicating the win to Greeks suffering through financial crisis. “We really hope we can make the people happy back home. We are a team. A team — that’s it.” The Greeks had taken the lead just before halftime through substitute Andreas Samaris, who punished Ivorian Ismael Tiote for a
careless pass backward. Substitute Wilfried Bony equalized for Ivory Coast in the 74th, beating goalkeeper Pangiotis Glykos from close range after being set up by Gervinho. That goal looked like it would put the Africans through until the late drama. Samaras met a cross in the area and tried to shoot with his left leg, which got caught against the leg of Sio. Samaras’ foot then hit the ground and he fell to the turf, drawing a penalty. W i t h his count r y ’ s WCup hopes on Recap the line, S a m a ra s sent his spot kick past goalkeeper Boubacar Barry, who guessed the right way but couldn’t keep the ball out. Colombia 4, Japan 1: James Rodriguez scored a brilliant goal and set up two more for Jackson Martinez as Colombia routed Japan 4-1 on Tuesday to confirm top spot in Group C and eliminate the Asian champions from the World Cup. Already assured of advancing, Colombia guaranteed first place with its third straight win, setting up a second-round match against Uruguay. Japan finished with a draw and two losses in a disappointing campaign. The Colombians started with a virtual second-string lineup but still went in front when Juan Cuadrado — one of the few regular starters — drilled in a 17th-minute penalty. Japan equalized with the last touch of the first half through Shinji Okazaki’s header but Martinez scored in the 55th and 82nd minutes — both from superb passes from substitute Rodriguez — to put the result beyond doubt. Rodriguez capped it off with his stunning solo goal in the 89th, turning his marker inside out before chipping the advancing goalkeeper with a deft finish that bore all the hallmarks of the great Lionel Messi.
Norwegian wins bet on Suarez World Cup bite BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Uruguay striker Luis Suarez’s practice of biting opponents seems to be a safe bet. More than 150 people across Europe put money down that he would do it again during the World Cup, and raked in winnings 175fold, a Swedish gambling company said on Wednesday. The biggest win went to a punter in Norway whose bonanza amounted to 2,000 euros ($2,700), while someone else in that Scandinavian country took home $916, Betsson group spokesman Mikael Mellqvist said. In Sweden, Mats Johansson posted his betting ticket on Twitter and thanked Suarez for the 1,750 kronor ($260) he
HOWARD Not thinking about future From Page B2 after shot from every angle. Despite the near miss and late-game disappointment, coach Jurgen Klinsmann has all the confidence the U.S. will be ready to go again Thursday against his home country. He helped West Germany win the 1990 World Cup and then coached Germany to an improbable semifinal run on home soil in 2006. “That’s what a World Cup is all about, and you live through those emotions positively and negatively,” Klinsmann said. “You’ve just got to kind of cross it off then and move on. And we’re going to move on quickly.
got after putting up 10 Swedish kronor. The company received bets on a Suarez bite amounting to “six figures in Norwegian kroner,” Mellqvist told The Associated Press. “We have people from all of Europe playing but mainly in Scandinavia.” Norwegian media identified one of the winners as Thomas Syversen, who reportedly was asleep during the Uruguay-Italy game on Tuesday when Suarez allegedly bit Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini on the left shoulder. “This is probably the sickest bet I have made, not to mention the sickest bet I have won,” Syversen was quoted as saying by the Norwegian Dagbladet daily.
We’re going to take this point now and we’re going to do everything now gearing toward Germany.” There is some thought this could be Howard’s final World Cup. He signed a twoyear contract extension with Everton in April that takes him through 2018 and a likely finish to his career with the club. Backup Brad Guzan is the U.S. No. 1 goalkeeper in waiting. Before Howard contemplates his future with the national team, he hopes to extend this run for as long as possible. “Realistically we’ve given ourselves every chance to advance, so we’re optimistic,” Howard said. “We’re pretty much right where we wanted to be when we started this whole process. We wanted to be going into the last game feeling like we have a chance, and we do.”

Canadians to play big NHL hands out awards role in the NBA draft BY CLIFF BRUNT The Associated Press Roy Rana remembers the signs suggesting that Canadian basketball might be ready to explode. He coached the Canada squad that finished third at the 17-and-under world championships in 2010. His No. 2 scorer, Anthony Bennett, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft. The youngest player on that team, Andrew Wiggins, might be the No. 1 pick in Thursday’s draft. Nik Stauskas, who played for the squad during qualifying in 2009, is a likely lottery pick. “At the time, none of us realized the long-term potential of this group,” Rana said. Folks are getting it now. Eight Canadians could be drafted Thursday, a stunning development for a hockey-crazed country that had only eight players selected after Steve Nash was taken in the first round in 1996. Wiggins (Kansas), Stauskas (Michigan) and Tyler Ennis (Syracuse) are expected to go in the first round. Dwight Powell (Stanford), Khem Birch (UNLV), Melvin Ejim (Iowa State), Jordan Bachynski (Arizona State) and Sim Bhullar (New Mexico State) also are possible selections. The class gives Canada aspirations of becoming a world power in the sport. “Our young basketball players no longer see themselves as second-class citizens in basketball,” Rana said. “They see themselves as equal to,if not better,than many of the best in the world, and they aspire to be the best in the world.”
Canada hasn’t had more than two players drafted in any of the previous 20 years, and from 2001 to 2010, not a single Canadian was selected. Leo Rautins, Canada’s former national coach who was picked by the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the 1983 draft, said that kind of drought likely won’t happen again because a strong system is finally in place to develop talent.There are more Canadian teams than ever playing AAU ball and prospects are finding homes at major U.S. colleges. “We’re entering a cycle that’s not going to stop,” Rautins said. “Before, there were reasons for the ups and reasons for the downs. But now, there’s only reason to continue to go up.” Rautins believes Canada’s national team could make noise at the 2020 Olympics. It would be quite a change for a country that hasn’t medaled at the Games since earning silver in 1936. Many point to the Raptors joining the NBA in 1995 as the turning point. Their presence created a generation of Canadians that grew up with the NBA. “It definitely had an effect on me,” Stauskas said. “I went to five or six games a year and I watched every one I could on TV. It had a lot to do with my love for the game.” The national program took advantage of the budding interest and bolstered its efforts.Bennett and Wiggins have been part of Canada basketball’s Targeted Athlete Strategy, which started in 2009. Canada’s Junior Academy, unveiled in 2013, helps seventh and eighth graders develop. The national program holds camps to identify top prospects, then puts them in more specific training.

Brothers tie record HOUSTON (AP) — Brothers B.J. and Justin Upton tied the major league record for brothers homering in the same game as teammates, accomplishing the feat for the fourth time, in Atlanta’s 3-2 win over Houston. B.J. Upton’s homer was a
solo shot off Scott Feldman in the third inning that put Atlanta up 2-1.Younger brother Justin connected off Feldman the next inning to push the lead to 3-1. It was a nice bounce-back game for the brothers, who were coming off a four-game series against Washington in which they went a combined 2 for 27. Other brothers who have homered in the same game four times are Jeremy and Jason Giambi for the Oakland A’s and Vladimir and Wilton Guerrero for the Montreal Expos.

WIMBLEDON From Page B1 ing the second set. Williams was several minutes late in arriving on court, and also left the court after the warm-up. She looked sluggish at the start, falling behind 3-0. She then won five straight games, but was broken serving for the set at 5-4. Nara raced to a 4-1 lead in the tiebreaker, but Williams
won the rest of the points. Williams was broken in the opening game of the second set, then won the next six. Also advancing to the third round was second-seeded Australian Open champion Li Na, who beat Yvonne Meusburger of Austria 6-2, 6-2 on Court 2. Meusburger had only four winners in the match, compared to 33 for Li. Fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland opened play on Centre Court and needed less than an hour to
down Australia’s Casey Dellacqua 6-4, 6-0. The man who shocked Roger Federer at Wimbledon a year ago, Sergiy Stakhovsky, pulled off another surprise Wednesday. The 90th-ranked Ukrainian used the same serve-andvolley style that worked against Federer in 2013 to beat 12th-seeded Ernests Gulbis 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (5). Defending champion Andy Murray dropped just two games as he over-
whelmed Blaz Rola of Slovenia to reach the third round. Murray trounced the 92nd-ranked Slovenian 6-1, 6-1, 6-0 on Court 1 in a commanding performance as he seeks to become the first British player to retain the Wimbledon crown in 77 years. Murray broke eight times, saved the only three break points against him and had only 13 unforced errors.

Arizona St. hires Indiana coach TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Tracy Smith, who led Indiana to back-to-back Big Ten championships and to the Hoosiers’ first College World Series appearance last year, has been hired as Arizona State’s head coach. Athletic director Ray Anderson on Tuesday announced the hiring of Smith, who replaces Tim Esmay. The 48-year-old Smith was head coach for nine years at Indiana, where he won more than 40 games each of the past two seasons and led the Hoosiers to back-to-back Big Ten championships. Knope when you need her? There’s literally lots of places that would work, but my personal pipe dream is across the street from Pony Village Mall, staring back at the McCullough Bridge. It’s my favorite view in the zip code. It’s gorgeous, picturesque, sublime, exquisite and all the other words that make me sound pretentious. It would make an even better backdrop for me to go 3-for-11 from the field. But for now, I’m stuck hearing the echoes ring through the North Bend gym Sunday evenings. I guess at least I won’t get a sun burn.

Virginia wins to even CWS BY ERIC OLSON The Associated Press
The Associated Press
Seattle Mariners' James Jones, right, celebrates with Robinson Cano after beating the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. The Mariners won 8-2.
Mariners hammer Red Sox — again SEATTLE (AP) — Something about Safeco Field is bringing out the best in Kyle Seager. While most hitters find Seattle’s park frustrating, the Mariners third baseman is thriving at home this season. Seager had an RBI double in the first inning and hit a three-run homer in the fifth off Boston starter Jake Peavy as the Mariners won their fifth straight, 8-2 over the Red Sox on Tuesday night. Seattle matched its longest winning streak of the season thanks to another offensive outburst making up for a shaky performance from starter Erasmo Ramirez. One night after putting up 12 runs on the Red Sox, Seattle hit two homers and handed Boston its fifth loss in six games. And Seager continued a hitting tear at home. Through 37 games at Safeco Field, Seager is hitting .328 with 10 of his 11 home runs and 36 RBIs. Seager’s run at home has helped make up for his miserable first three weeks of the season. “It’s one of those things where you get feeling good, you go through your little runs and they have been at home for me,” Seager said. Mike Zunino followed Seager with a
solo shot as part of Seattle’s four-run fifth inning. It was Zunino’s 10th home run. The victory was Seattle’s 15th in June and secured consecutive winning months for the first time since 2012. The Mariners (42-36) are six games over .500 for the first time this season. “There is a really good feeling in the clubhouse,” Seager said. “We know what we have in here. We feel good about it and we feel like we’ll be able to sustain it.” Seattle has mostly been winning with pitching but the bats have shown up against the Red Sox. Logan Morrison had the big blows in the series opener with two home runs. Seager’s double in the first scored Endy Chavez and Morrison followed with a sacrifice fly for an early 2-0 lead. Chavez tripled for the second straight night in the second inning to score Brad Miller for a 3-0 lead. It was Seager’s turn again in the fifth. Robinson Cano’s single with one out put runners on the corners and Seager turned on an inside pitch from Peavy just inside the right-field foul pole and off the windows of the cafe in the outfield. Seager was barely back in the
dugout when Zunino lined his homer into the Mariners bullpen, nearly hitting reliever Danny Farquhar for a 7-2 lead. “We’re not trying to go out there and do too much. ... It’s just a trust and a confidence that I think is growing and hopefully can stay that way,” Zunino said. Joe Beimel (2-1) got four outs in relief of Ramirez to get the victory. Ramirez again failed to get deep into the game and was done after 4 1-3 innings. Control was again the problem for Ramirez. He ran his scoreless innings streak to 19 1-3 before giving up a tworun homer to Brock Holt in the fourth inning. But it was five walks and a number of long at-bats that ended his night early. While not giving up many runs, Ramirez pitched more than five innings only once in his past five starts. Peavy (1-6) has allowed 16 homers in 16 starts this season. He was pulled after the fifth and the seven earned runs were a season high. Peavey has lost six straight decisions, his only win this season coming on April 25 against Toronto. In the 11 starts since his victory, Peavy has left the mound with the lead only once.
OMAHA, Neb. — The offense has been there for Virginia in the College World Series finals. The pitching is back now, too. With the Cavaliers’ season on the line, Brandon Waddell pitched a five-hit complete game in a 7-2 victory over Vanderbilt on Tuesday night that forced a decisive Game 3. The teams meet Wednesday night at TD Ameritrade Park, where the winner will earn its school’s first national championship in baseball. Projected starting pitchers are Josh Sborz (6-4) for Virginia against Carson Fulmer (7-1). Waddell’s first nine-inning complete game came a night after Nathan Kirby imploded in Vanderbilt’s nine-run third inning in a 9-8 loss to the Commodores on Monday. Waddell seemed to get better as the game went on, with the fourth inning a turning point. Vanderbilt (50-21) held a 2-1 lead and had a chance to add to it with John Norwood on second base. But Rhett Wiseman couldn’t get a bunt down to move him over, and he struck out looking. Waddell then picked off Norwood at second. “The pick play was put on, and we just executed,” Waddell said. “It was a huge momentum swing. They go from a guy in scoring position to nobody on. So I think it was something that was definitely big for us.” Virginia coach Brian O’Connor said his Cavaliers (53-15) responded like he thought they would after Monday’s loss. “I know the bounce-back this team has shown all year long,” O’Connor said. “You know when you go through a season with a team, you start to learn and understand what they’re made of and what the fiber of a team is. I told the team after the game last night that there is no panic in this ballclub. Come out tonight and play a great ball game, and we’d have a chance to win.” Waddell (10-3), who pitched a solid seven innings with no decision against TCU a week ago, was even better against the Commodores. He walked three and struck out five.
“He basically suffocated our offense for most of the night,” Vandy coach Tim Corbin said. The sophomore left-hander didn’t allow a hit after Norwood’s double until the ninth inning. He retired 12 in a row before he issued a walk with two outs in the ninth. “I didn’t know how long I’d be in the game,” Waddell said. “I tried to keep going until they told me to stop.” Waddell didn’t stop until he threw 115 pitches and Wiseman had grounded out to end the game. Teammates rushed out of the dugout to congratulate him for his first conventional complete game. He was credited with one for going six innings in a rainshortened game against Monmouth in March, and it was the Virginia staff’s third of the season. “I felt good from the start,” Waddell said. “I felt in the beginning I was trying to do too much, put too much behind the ball, spraying it here and there.I settled in later in the game. I put the pitches where I needed to.” Kenny Towns and John La Prise drove in two runs apiece, and the Cavaliers finished with 13 hits against Tyler Beede (8-8) and three relievers. Virginia has a total of 15 runs and 28 hits the last two games. Through five innings, Beede looked sharp in limiting the Cavaliers to one run on three hits and two walks. The 14th overall draft pick by the San Francisco Giants had been struggling with his control and didn’t make it out of the fourth inning in his previous CWS start against UC Irvine. He left with two outs in the seventh after allowing six runs on 10 hits and three walks. “Execution was a little poor the third and fourth times through the lineup,” Beede said. “I was working with only two pitches, fastball and changeup. It was kind of 5050. They were finding holes. They’re a talented hitting team.” The Cavaliers will be playing for the Atlantic Coast Conference’s first national title in baseball since Wake Forest in 1955. Vanderbilt will be going for the Southeastern Conference’s fourth championship in six years.
Zimmerman homers as Nationals beat Brewers in 16 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE (AP) — Ryan Zimmerman’s two-run home run in the 16th inning lifted the Washington Nationals to a 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night. Zimmerman hit a 2-0 pitch off Mike Fiers (0-1) over the wall in left field to score Adam LaRoche for the Nationals fourth consecutive win. Tyler Clippard (5-2) pitched a scoreless 15th for the win. Rafael Soriano pitched the 16th for his 18th save. With one out in the 16th, LaRoche hit a sharp single that bounced off the wall in right field. Zimmerman then hit his MLB third home run of the year Recap to give the Nationals the lead in a game that took 5 hours, 22 minutes. The Brewers threatened in the 13th, 14th and 15th innings, but couldn’t score.‘ Diamondbacks 9, Indians 8, 14 innings: Aaron Hill singled in Gerardo Parra from third in the 14th inning to lift Arizona past Cleveland just past midnight in a game that matched the longest in Chase Field history. Parra tied his career high with five hits in a game that saw Cleveland tie it with a run in the ninth and both teams score two in the 11th. At 5 hours, 32 minutes, the game matched the Diamondbacks’ 10-9 win against St. Louis on April 3, 2013. Dodgers 2, Royals 0: Clayton Kershaw followed his first career no-hitter with eight marvelous innings, amd Adrian Gonzalez and Andre Ethier drove in a run apiece to lead Los Angeles. Kershaw (8-2) allowed six hits and a walk while striking out eight. The two-time Cy Young winner hasn’t allowed a run in 21 1-3 innings, spanning his near-perfect game against Colorado on Wednesday — the only runner occurred on an error — and his previous start against Arizona. Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his 23rd save. Pirates 6, Rays 5: Andrew McCutchen drove in two runs, Jeff Locke pitched into the eighth inning, and Pittsburgh beat Tampa Bay.
The Pirates have the NL’s best record (2718) since May 6, and moved above .500 (3938) for the first time since starting the season 7-6. McCutchen had an RBI single during a three-run third inning that put the Pirates ahead 4-0. Chris Archer (4-5) gave up five runs and seven hits in seven innings for the Rays, who have lost 20 of 28. Blue Jays 7, Yankees 6: Jose Reyes atoned for a pair of misplays by hitting a leadoff double in the ninth inning and scoring when Yankees third baseman Yangervis Solarte threw away a bunt, lifting Toronto past New York. The Yankees trailed 6-0 before tying it, then lost their fourth in a row. Casey Janssen (2-0) worked one inning for the victory. White Sox 4, Orioles 2: Jose Quintana allowed one run in seven innings, Gordon Beckham homered and Chicago snapped a five-game losing streak. Alexei Ramirez had two hits and scored twice for the last-place White Sox, who had lost nine of 11 overall and eight straight on the road. Quintana (4-7) gave up six hits — including a solo homer by Steve Pearce — struck out eight and walked three. The left-hander was 0-3 in four starts since May 26. One night after blowing a ninth-inning lead in the series opener, White Sox closer Ronald Belisario entered in the ninth with no outs and a runner on first. He surrendered a pinch-hit RBI single to Delmon Young before getting pinch-hitter Ryan Flaherty to bounce into a double play for his eighth save. Mets 10, Athletics 1: Slumping outfielder Chris Young homered twice, Travis d’Arnaud hit a three-run shot in his return from a demotion and the towel-waving New York Mets roughed up Scott Kazmir and Oakland. Bartolo Colon (8-5) shut down the team that didn’t want him back this year despite an 18-win season, pitching four-hit ball for eight innings against the AL West leaders. Curtis Granderson homered, he and David Wright had RBI groundouts, and Daniel Murphy added a run-scoring single for the Mets, who scored at least 10 runs in consecutive games for the first time since June 28-29, 2011, in Detroit.
Phillies 7, Marlins 4: Marlon Byrd hit a two-run homer, David Buchanan threw five effective innings and Philadelphia beat Miami. Buchanan (4-3) allowed two runs and six hits to help the Phillies snap a three-game losing streak. The rookie right-hander struck out Marcell Ozuna on a 3-2 changeup with two runners on and two outs in the fifth, preserving a 4-2 lead. He pumped his fist and shouted as he walked off the mound. Miami’s Garrett Jones hit a two-run homer off B.J. Rosenberg in the eighth. Braves 3, Astros 2: Brothers B.J. and Justin Upton tied the major league record for brothers homering in the same game as teammates, accomplishing the feat for the fourth time, to lead Atlanta past Houston. B.J. Upton’s homer was a solo shot off Scott Feldman (3-5) in the third inning that put Atlanta up 2-1. Younger brother Justin connected off Feldman the next inning to push the lead to 3-1. Aaron Harang (6-6) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings. Craig Kimbrel pitched a scoreless ninth for his 22nd save. Houston rookie George Springer hit his team-leading 14th home run and Jose Altuve added two hits to give him a major leaguebest 105. Tigers 8, Rangers 2: Ian Kinsler homered in the first at-bat of his return to Texas as an opponent and J.D. Martinez had a tiebreaking two-run shot as the Detroit Tigers beat the Rangers 8-2 on Tuesday night. The AL Central-leading Tigers won their fifth consecutive game. Kinsler spent the first eight seasons of his career in Texas before being traded for Prince Fielder in a swap of All-Stars last winter. Kinsler got more cheers than boos when he was introduced in the first inning, then sent a pitch by Colby Lewis (5-5) into the left-field seats. Martinez homered to center off Lewis in the seventh, a pitch after Victor Martinez doubled, for a 3-1 lead. Adrian Beltre went 4 for 4 for Texas, pushing his career total to 2,503 hits. Cubs 7, Reds 3: Jake Arrieta retired his first 18 batters and struck out nine in seven impressive innings for Chicago. Arrieta (4-1) was working on a perfect game before rookie Billy Hamilton started the seventh with a single up the middle. The
right-hander allowed two runs and three hits while improving to 3-0 with a 1.14 ERA in five June starts. Anthony Rizzo belted a solo homer for the second straight night for the Cubs, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Welington Castillo drove in two runs, including a sacrifice fly in Chicago’s three-run eighth. Devin Mesoraco homered for the fifth straight game for Cincinnati, matching a franchise record. Mesoraco’s 14th homer came with one out in the ninth against Neil Ramirez. The start of the game was delayed 53 minutes by rain. Homer Bailey (7-4) retired his first 11 batters, striking out five, for Cincinnati. Padres 7, Giants 2: Alexi Amarista drove in three runs on three hits and San Diego handed stumbling San Francisco its 12th loss in 15 games. Will Venable drove in two runs and Jesse Hahn (3-1) earned his third straight victory for the Padres, who won their fifth in the last seven games. Tim Hudson (7-4) lost for the first time at home this season, allowing six runs — four earned — on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out four. Angels 8, Twins 6: Mike Trout hit a tiebreaking two-run homer after Los Angeles and Minnesota exchanged five-run innings, and the Angels went on to get their fourth straight victory. C.J. Wilson (8-6) barely navigated through five innings and left with the lead after allowing six runs and nine hits, including back-toback home runs for the second time in his last three starts. The left-hander, who came in 50 with a 1.58 ERA in his previous six outings at Angel Stadium, blew a 5-0 lead in the second before Trout hit his 17th homer in the bottom half. Rockies 10, Cardinals 5: Justin Morneau hit a three-run homer and drove in six runs as Colorado snapped a seven-game losing streak. Jorge De La Rosa (7-6) allowed five runs, four earned, in seven innings. He is the first Rockies starter to earn a win since June 12. The Rockies finished with 17 hits one night after managing just three when they were shut out at home for the first time in nearly a year.

James Carville, a political commentator, said, “The best time to plant an oak tree was 25 years ago. The second best time is today.” In yesterday’s deal, East used the bidding and early play to place the missing high cards and to work out the best defense against four hearts. Here is a second deal along the same lines. South is in four hearts. West leads the spade queen. South wins with his ace and plays a trump to dummy’s queen. What should East do? South rebid three no-trump
PUBLISHED: The World - June 18, 25, July 02 and 09, 2014 (ID-20254381) NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the Coos Bay City Council will hold a public hearing to consider a proposed ordinance providing recreational vehicle sewerage discharge to the City Wastewater System. The hearing will take place during the City Council’s regular meeting held on July 1, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. or soon thereafter in the Coos Bay City Hall council chambers at 500 Central, Coos Bay, Oregon. The hearing is opened to the public and any resident of the City may appear and be heard.

because North might have raised hearts with only three-card support if he had a minimum opening bid with, for example, 1-3-5-4 distribution. Here, though, North corrected to the heart game because he had two unstopped suits and four strong hearts. East should wonder which four tricks his side might win. Since West’s opening lead marks South with the spade ace and king, there are no spade winners available. East has one heart trick.There are no diamond winners, because even if South is missing the king, the finesse is working. So the defenders need three club tricks, or two clubs and a club ruff. This should make East’s path clear. He must win with his heart ace and shift to the club five. Now the spotlight falls on South. If he rises with his club king, he will make the contract (with an overtrick if he draws trumps, cashes his spade and diamond winners, and endplays West with his club queen). But if South finesses his jack, West wins with his queen, returns the club two and receives a club ruff for down one.
If you have any questions, you should see an attorney immediately.
