One dead at party shooting in NB NORTH BEND — One man is dead and another in jail facing murder charges after a shooting early Sunday morning at the North Bend Community Center.

In a press release, Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said he plans to file a district attorney’s information Monday charging 29-year-old Miguel Alejandro Iniguez with murder in connection with the shooting.

Under Oregon law, the accused can be arraigned on a district attorney’s information in lieu of a grand jury

Office, Oregon State Police, South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team and Coos County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene.

After several hours of searching, police arrested Iniguez without incident shortly before 7:30 a.m. at Walmart in Coos Bay. A firearm was found two blocks away from the community center.

Iniguez, who also went by the name Alex Miguel Iniguez, is thought to be a resident of California who was visiting friends in the Coos Bay-North Bend area.

North Bend police are asking anyone with information to call them at 541756-3161.

indictment if a preliminary hearing finds probable cause to believe they committed the crime.

The chain of events leading to Iniguez’s arrest began sometime before 1:15 a.m., when police took a report of a fight with at least one shot fired at the community center. Officers found one man dead in the center’s back parking lot with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head. The man has yet to be identified.

A birthday party was being held in the building at the time of shooting.

Oregon Coast Music Festival begins

Train to remain fire safe Coos Bay Fire Rescue is holding a free class on fire extinguishers Tuesday ■

BY ALICIA A. CALDWELL The Associated Press

The Bay Area Concert Band performs “Fanfare for the Common Man” by Aaron Copland Saturday in Mingus Park. The band held a free concert in Mingus Park opening the 36th season of the Oregon Coast Music Festival. The band, which was started around 1970, has opened the festival with a free concert every season.

COOS BAY — Fire Prevention Week doesn’t arrive until October, but Coos Bay Fire Rescue is not just sitting on its hands until then.

On Tuesday night they will be holding a free fire extinguisher class at the new fire station at 450 Elrod Ave. Battalion Chief Dan Crutchfield says they are trying to do a different kind of training each month.

“We’re trying to get our prevention program to be more of a year round program,” he said.

August will focus on disaster preparedness.

This month, though, it is all about the extinguishers.

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, the majority of residential fires in the U.S. are kitchen fires. In those cases extinguishers are ideal, but they SEE FIRE | A8

Pot testing labs a budding business

BY HILLARY BORRUD The (Bend) Bulletin

“I think it’s clear that the Legislature wanted

BEND (AP) — Cascadia Labs is nestled amid ornamental fruit trees in a quiet office park on the north end of Bend. In this lab, employees with backgrounds in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries spend their days testing a variety of products with one common ingredient, consumed by thousands of patients across Oregon: medical marijuana.

Cascadia Labs co-owner Jeremy Sackett, 32, is just one of the entrepreneurs who has joined Oregon’s medical pot industry, where new regulations aimed at increasing quality and safety have helped spawn businesses headed up by people with backgrounds in science and the legal profession.

Sackett worked at biotechnology companies until a year ago, when

to make sure the products people got from a dispensary were safe.”

Tom Burns Oregon Health Authority director of pharmacy programs

he started Cascadia Labs LLC with his wife, Ashley Preece-Sackett, 34. The company now has customers across the state who send samples via a medical courier service. The couple recently opened an office in Portland to receive samples, and Sackett is building a lab in Portland, too.

It is a sign of how quickly the medical marijuana landscape is changing in Oregon that Cascadia Labs is expanding at the same time Sackett is helping to draft a law

that would grant the state authority to regulate these labs. New regulations on medical marijuana, passed by the Legislature in 2013 and implemented this year, are supposed to provide patients with safe access to cannabis products.

But a state official involved with the program said the lack of regulatory authority over labs in the law prevents the state from ensuring medical pot is safe.

DEATHS

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama can take action to relieve much of the crisis caused by tens of thousands of unaccompanied children crossing the southern U.S. border without waiting for what is likely to be a and lengthy contentious Congressional battle, say two key lawmakers, one Democrat and the other, Republican.

At issue is a provision in a 2008 human trafficking law that puts the fate of young immigrants from countries that don’t border the United States in the hands of immigration judges. The Obama administration has expressed some interest in asking Congress to change the law to give the administration more leeway in dealing with the crisis. It can take years for cases to make their way through immigration courts.

But Rep. Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that wholesale changes by Congress may not be necessary and that Obama has the authority to return the children to their native countries. Since October, more than 57,000 children, mostly from Honduras, El Salvador or Guatemala, have crossed the Mexican border without their parents.

Obama “has tools in his toolbox” to solve quickly what most officials say has become a humanitarian crisis and to deter more children from coming to the U.S., Rogers said.

“We can safely get them home,” Rogers said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He said, “And that’s where the president needs to start. So he needs to re-engage, get folks who are doing administrative work on the border. They need to make sure they send a very clear signal.”

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the author of the provision in the human trafficking law, said a change in regulations, not the law, could speed the children’s return.

The law already allows the departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human

Authority, said that the state’s lack of authority to regulate pot testing labs essentially means that no one is testing the labs that test medical pot.

“I think it’s clear that the Legislature wanted to make sure the products people got from a dispensary were safe,” Burns said.

“And without being able to assure the testing that is being done is being done by a quality laboratory, I’m just not sure I can assure the product is safe.”

“I think it puts patients’ health at risk,” Burns added.

Oregon House Bill 3460 legalized and regulated storefronts where people with medical marijuana cards can buy cannabis products. The law requires marijuana sold by retailers to be tested for pesticides, mold and mildew,

Motorist jailed after robbing, trying to kill hitchiker in Curry County GOLD BEACH — A 56year-old Washington man faces robbery and attempted homicide charges after state police say he attacked a hitchhiker he picked up in Curry County.

According to Oregon State Police, Samuel Nils

Strom, of Lynwood, was arrested Saturday evening at a home west of Brookings after troopers spotted his vehicle in the driveway.

He is charged with attempted criminal homicide, first-degree robbery and menacing.

A Canadian hitchhiker, Daniel Dedard Guau, 28, told state troopers that afternoon that Strom had picked him up on U.S. Highway 101 south of Gold Beach. Guau said that as the pair drove towards Brookings, Strom pulled a knife on him and

threatened to kill him.

After slashing at Guau with the knife and forcing him from the vehicle, Strom allegedly sped off with his passport and personal belongings.

Troopers say they found a knife and Guau’s property inside the vehicle.

Opinion theworldlink.com/news/opinion

Why Obama panics the GOP If you pay too much attention to opinion polls, as most people do, doubtless you’ve heard that a plurality of voters has judged Barack Obama the worst president since World War II. Thirty-three percent, to be precise, which as it conflates almost exactly with the number of hard-core Republicans, merely tells you something you already knew: GOP partisans dislike Obama with irrational zeal.

In short, the Quinnipiac University survey reveals more about them than about Obama.

But hold that thought.

To put the bad news about Obama in perspective, back in 2006 when George W. Bush was in his sixth year in office — typically the nadir of a two-term president’s popularity — the same Quinnipiac poll found that 34 percent of Americans judged him the worst since 1945.

Even the sainted Ronald Reagan’s job approval numbers took a sharp drop during his sixth year due to the Iran-Contra scandal — selling missiles to Iran to finance rightwing terrorists in Nicaragua.

This year, however, a reported 35 percent in the Quinnipiac survey judged Reagan the best president since World War II. Apparently all is forgiven, forgotten, or — equally likely — never known.

Bill Clinton came in second at 18 percent; JFK third with 15 percent.

Democrats, see, split their “best president” choices pretty evenly among Clinton, JFK and Obama.

Meanwhile, 66 percent Republicans chose Reagan, a sharp rebuke to GENE named ex-presidents LYONS Bush.

Columnist Indeed, some 28 percent in the 2014 survey still think that Dubya established a new low in presidential ineptitude. More significant, exactly 1 percent called Bush the best.

Historians agree about Dubya. A recent Siena College survey of 238 “presidential scholars” called Bush the fifth worst in U.S. history, and the only chief executive since 1945 to make the bungler’s Hall of Fame.

Politically, the make-believe rancher turned portrait painter has become The Man Who Wasn’t There. Because Bush’s record is pretty much indefensible — asleep on 9/11, imprudent tax cuts, an unfinished war in Afghanistan, weak jobs creation, a financial meltdown that damn near destroyed the world economy, trillion dollar budget deficits, an unjust, failed war and unfolding geopolitical catastrophe in Iraq — Republicans not named Dick Cheney make no serious effort to defend it.

Instead, they insist that the world began anew with the inauguration of Barack Obama. All references to the astonishing mess his predecessor left behind are forbidden lest one be accused of playing the “blame game.”

Rhyming slogans often prove irresistible to simpletons.

OK, so Obama asked for it. Mother Jones blogger Kevin Drum gets that part exactly right: “For years, I really didn’t believe the conservative snark about how Obama supporters all thought he would descend on Washington like a god-king and miraculously turn us into a post-racial, post-partisan, post-political country.Kumbaya! The reason I didn’t believe it was that it never struck me as even remotely plausible.”

Of course Obama promised to transform America. “That’s what presidential candidates do,” Drum adds. “I believed then, and still believe now, that Obama is basically a mainstream Democrat who’s cautious, pragmatic, technocratic, and incremental ... (But) by now, the evidence is clear that millions of Obama voters really believed all that boilerplate rhetoric.”

Hence bitter disappointment on the sentimental left. Oh, you wanted single-payer health care? So tell me where Obama was supposed to get the votes.

However, the real believers in Barack the magic enchanter have been Republicans. His presidency has driven a substantial proportion of the GOP electorate completely around the bend. To a remarkable degree, the party of Lincoln has metamorphosed into a Confederate-accented political cult on apocalyptic themes suggested by fundamentalist theology.

“The unhinged versions of this sensibility,” writes New York Magazine’s Jonathan Chait, “held that Obama had launched a sinister ideological assault on the Constitution and American freedom, perhaps in the name of Islamism, or socialism, or somehow, both.”

Mentioning Obama’s race as one cause of GOP panic is even more forbidden than bringing up George W. Bush. You want to argue about it? Check the comment lines to any online article about Obama, and then get back to me.

It’s in the Bible: “The guilty flee, where no man pursueth.”

Along with existential panic goes an inability to keep things in proportion.

Benghazi equals invading Iraq. The IRS “scandal” equals Watergate. Forty-five consecutive months of job growth and shrinking budget deficits get airbrushed out of the picture.

Over time, fear will abate. Then we’ll see what we see.

The city police department, EMTs, fire department and other emergency personnel arrived to help her in minutes! She was calmed and helped by many people. I’m 14 hours away, and they consoled her and helped her so much.

When I arrived, 14 hours later, Officer Shane Dunning “stopped” by to make sure she was OK! To me, that’s certainly above-and-beyond the call of duty! (Please take heed, Chief Robert Kappleman!) Thank you so much for caring for my sweet aunt! When I get back to the Oregon coast, I’m bringing cookies for the entire staff on the front steps of my aunt’s house! (She said she had 17 guys in her house.)

Thank you North Bend!

Who tried to reneuter my cat?

Unarguably, a low/no-cost feline spay-neuter clinic is an asset to any community. The qualification of staff at such a facility comes into question, however, when an animal is immediately prepped for surgery before determination of: 1. The cat’s gender.

2. Whether the cat has, in fact, already been neutered.

3. The cat’s status as feral and/or needy.

Recently, my 12-year-old neutered male cat had his lower abdomen shaved — exactly when, where and why constitutes a mystery I’d very much like to solve.

Rather plump, with a shining, dense black and white coat, and wearing a collar with identification tag, he is obviously a well cared for pet, not a homeless critter.

If the person(s) who subjected him to this needless (and therefore cruel) treatment was sincerely concerned about his reproductive ability, they needed only to have inquired; his owner’s telephone number is engraved into his ID tag. Or was this someone’s idea of a prank?

Animal abuse cannot be considered to be within the realm of a joke.

If anyone has any clue which might lead to an explanation of this catnapping and foolish clinic visit, please call me. I am also eager to hear from anyone

Cautionary LNG film worth seeing I think everyone around here really needs to watch the movie made by Tim and Hayden Riley, “The Risks and Dangers of LNG.” You can read about it online if you look up the name of the movie or Tim and Hayden Riley.

This movie needs to be shown in this area. Maybe the Egyptian Theatre would like to show it.

Pols ineffective on immigration I’d like to respond to our elected officials back in Washington, D.C., who have been telling us for years that our Immigration system is broken.

The only thing I can see that is “broken” is their oath of office!

If our elected officials had the intestinal fortitude to enforce our current laws, we would not have an illegal immigration problem.

They have taken an oath to uphold our Constitution and laws. They have “broken” that oath. When something is broken we replace it. I say it’s time they were all replaced.

NB residents won’t be ignored The North Bend Planning Commission did its utmost to allow Jordan Cove to restrict public notice of a public hearing on the 2,100 men housing camp to an obscure website. Oregon Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines require the governing body to seek citizen involvement, not to suppress it.

This project would affect the whole city (2,100 temporary workers exceed 20 percent of our total population) but most acutely, residents of Simpson Heights and residents adjoining Simpson Park/Ferry Park complex. Yet the commission unanimously agreed that the very minimum written notice to a handful of businesses sufficient notice to issue a permit.

To correct the travesty, I appealed to the city council for a transparent and fair hearing where all could attend.

Remember, this is just a request for an open hearing. But the council, with various commitments to Jordan Cove and having made public statements supporting Jordan Cove, agreed with Jordan Cove to dismiss me on the grounds that I did not testify at the hearing (the one done on the QT).

After going these lengths to exclude citizen participation in the permitting process, the city of North Bend now sends written invitations to a dog and pony show July 16 called “Discussion” as advertised in The World. It is a flaunting of how much city officials can do citizens. without its

Furthermore, it is a direct insult to the intelligence of its constituents. But if you can stomach it, I encourage you to go and see how much “discussion” you can muster after the permit is granted.

It is bad enough that Jordan Cove tries to ram things through, what must appear to them, a hick town with groveling hands. We do not have to oblige them. They have forced us to take legal action before just to maintain our right to speak. Just as we have again in filing a Notice of Intent to Appeal to LUBA for a right to a fair hearing. Yes, they have deep pockets, but I hope we have deeper moral courage.

Reproductive health is personal Following Wim de Vriend’s recent letter demonstrating his strong views on women’s health care, I’m curious about his stand on men’s reproductive health. Should an employer be able to exempt themselves from providing reproductive health care coverage for men? Should there be an equivalent outrage towards men who choose the option of Viagra or vasectomies?

I am pro-life in the sense that I would not include abortion as an option in my personal life, and I do not support capital punishment. However, in the case of reproductive health, this is an issue between a woman and her doctor; a man and his doctor. For those who want to see a reduction or elimination in abortion, the proven strategy is centered on a comprehensive “sex” education curriculum in our schools. The statistics are glaring — areas without comprehensive sex education have astronomical teenage pregnancy and STD rates, while those with this important intervention maintain low and decreasing numbers.

Those against sex education will argue it’s not the school’s job to teach children about reproduction and sexual issues.

Though they then say it’s the government’s job to dictate health choices for women, to include legislation presented making trans-vaginal probes mandatory. Either they want government intrusion in our life or they don’t, but it can’t be both ways!

Ultimately, if we educate our youth about prevention and healthy choices, then abortion will be eliminated. In the mean time, women deserve equal access to health care — it is a basic human right. Thank you.

Vet commitment rings hollow I just re-read your op-ed “Caring for our nation’s heroes,” (by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore.) published in The World on Monday, July 7. It was very nice but it left me with a deep feeling of disappointment in you.

You started out by telling

how you “ — have been fighting to ensure the U.S. government keeps its promise despite the fiscal challenges” to veterans.

You go on to tell how you were “ — appalled by what happened at the Phoenix VA — ,” and then how unfortunate it was “ — the VA problems extended far beyond Phoenix.” Then in the same paragraph you point to an “audit” that “confirmed what” you “had been hearing from Oregon veterans: wait times for new patients at the Roseburg VA — .”

When you heard about the wait times at Roseburg, years ago, why didn’t you inquire of your cohorts in the House if they were hearing similar stories? If you did inquire and confirmed there were similar stories, why didn’t you start an investigation long ago?

Because of your long-time struggle on behalf of veterans, why were you “appalled” when you learned of Phoenix? Had you not suspected something like this for quite some time? Is your trust of our big bloated, over spending, government bureaucracy so deep that you thought Roseburg VA was just a one-off example? When will you and your cohorts in my Democratic Party acknowledge the fact that our bloated government bureaucracy really can’t manage large, far flung, enterprises?

You go on to infer that the problem with the VA is a lack of money, and you are working on fixing that. I maintain that the problem is too much money: for example, large amounts spent on unearned bonus payments to mid and upper level VA managers, and not enough real leadership held accountable at VA units or oversight by you and your cohorts. You folks are not doing your jobs.

If the performance of the VA, over many years, is any example of big government bureaucracy miss-management in health care, what does this portend for a single payer health care system for the entire country that we are slowly drifting toward?

Will my grandchildren, shouldering a massive national debt, need to contact their Congressman when they encounter long wait times to see a doctor?

Respectively awaiting your reply.

News of the West and Obituaries Young, married and operatic

The Associated Press

Some of the hundreds of mustangs the U.S. Bureau of Land Management removed from federal rangeland peer at visitors at the BLM’s Palomino Valley holding facility about 20 miles north of Reno in Palomino Valley, Nev. The Cloud Foundation and Friends of Animas are petitioning the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to declare wild horses threatened or endangered in North America under the Endangered Species Act.

BLM to remove fewer mustangs across West RENO, Nev. (AP) — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management says it will remove fewer wild horses and burros from the range across the West this summer because of budget constraints and overflowing holding pens.

Under its roundup schedule announced this week, the bureau plans to gather 2,400 of the animals through the fiscal year ending Sept. 30.

All but 215 of them will be horses.

Plans call for removal of 1,535 horses in Wyoming, 285 in Nevada, 200 in Utah, 75 in Oregon, 50 in California and 35 in Idaho. The bureau also plans to gather 140 burros in Arizona, 50 in California and 25 in Oregon.

The announcement comes at a time when the bureau has been under increasing pressure from Western ranchers to step up removal of horses they say and livestock threaten wildlife on drought-ravaged

rangelands.

The bureau estimates 40,600 of the animals — the vast majority of them horses — roam free on public rangelands in 10 Western states.

The population exceeds by some 14,000 the number the agency has determined can exist in balance with other rangeland resources and uses.

Bureau officials said aggravating the situation is severe drought that has resulted in reduced forage for the animals. The agency also faces limits on the number of horses and burros it can remove because holding facilities are at capacity.

Some 49,000 of the animals are being held in government-funded short- and long-term facilities.

Removal of fewer mustangs from the range “will exacerbate the difficult challenges we face in nearly every aspect of the wild horse program right now,” BLM officials said in a statement.

But the bureau’s actions contradict recommendations of an independent panel of the National Academy of Sciences released last year, said Deniz Bolbol, spokeswoman for the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign.

In a report, the panel said the bureau should invest in widespread fertility control of the mustangs instead of spending millions to house them. It concluded the bureau’s removal of nearly 100,000 horses from the Western range over the past decade is probably having the opposite effect of its intention to ease ecological damage and reduce overpopulated herds.

“The BLM already warehouses more wild horses in holding facilities than remain free in the wild,” Bolbol said in a statement.

“The agency’s plan to remove thousands more mustangs and burros from the range makes no ecologi-

cal, scientific or fiscal sense.”

Horse defenders also dispute the bureau’s position that mustangs are overpopulating the West. They say the vast majority of forage on the range is being allocated to privately-owned livestock, and public rangelands are being overrun by livestock instead.

“The hyper-focus on mustang numbers is a concerted effort to scapegoat wild horses and distract attention away from the massive level of livestock grazing that is occurring on our public lands,” said Suzanne Roy, director of the AWHPC. After removing horses from the range, the bureau places them in short-term corrals until they’re either adopted or shipped to government-funded pastures in the Midwest where they spend the rest of their lives.

Hot, dry weather encouraging western wildfires KLAMATH FALLS (AP) — Firefighters have built a partial line around a fast-growing wildfire in southern Oregon that has destroyed structures and led to dozens of evacuations, fire spokeswoman Erica Hupp said Crews were assessing the fire near Sprague River on Monday morning. The last measurement estimated the blaze at about 41⁄2 square miles, said Hupp.

The wildfire started around 2 p.m. PDT Sunday in timber and brush and has destroyed an undetermined number of homes and structures.

Before sundown Sunday, Klamath County sheriff’s deputies evacuated more

than 100 people from homes along two roads in the area.

The blaze is just one of several major fires churning through the West.

In Northern California, a wildfire has burned 6 square miles of forested land and destroyed 18 structures, said. officials CalFire Authorities believe the fire was sparked by the exhaust from a truck driven by a man delivering supplies to an illegal marijuana plot.

The fire burning in steep terrain was just 15 percent contained on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Mills Canyon Fire burning in central Washington has grown to 35 square miles.

Firefighters strengthened containment lines around the fire near Entiat (EHN’tee-aht) on Sunday, but they’re still worried about the potential for dry lightning and wind to kick up the flames on Monday.

Three dozen homes have been evacuated and residents of another 500 houses have been told to be prepared to leave if the fire gets closer.

The South Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership said the wildfire near Sprague River was burning in the town’s Moccasin Hill neighborhood.

Hupp said crews were gathering more details about the types and numbers of

structures burned, and crews are building fire lines.

“There’s still a lot of the fire that isn’t lined,” she said.

The weather forecast calls for dry, hot afternoons in Washington and Oregon for the next week and that is expected to increase fire activity.

“It is still actively burning,” Hupp said of the Oregon fire. “We’re going to see what the afternoon brings.”

She said that the blaze has been growing steadily because of high winds and extremely dry conditions. But fire teams were hoping that higher late-night humidity would help slow its growth.

Suspected burglar falls from tree after chase SOUTH COAST

ALOHA (AP) — A suspected burglar was arrested after he fell about 40 feet from a tree after being chased by deputies from the Washington County sheriff’s office.

KATU-TV reports deputies found 46-year-old Bret T. Davis in a tree in Aloha on Saturday afternoon after chasing him through a wooded area.

Deputies said Davis refused to come down from the tree. He climbed higher instead, before finally falling.

Davis has been charged with first-degree burglary, third-degree robbery, fourth-degree assault and second-degree theft.

Authorities say he was not seriously injured in the fall.

The homeowner also suffered minor injuries.

Volunteer firefighter convicted of arson HEPPNER (AP) — A former volunteer firefighter was sentenced to five and a half years in prison after burglarizing and burning down a home in November.

The East Oregonian reports that 34-year-old Joseph Edward Kindle of Heppner pleaded no contest to arson on Thursday. He also pleaded guilty to theft,

R E P O R T S burglary and felon in possession of a firearm.

Kindle told the court in Morrow County that he had no excuse for what he did, was sorry and wanted to take responsibility for his actions.

The fire caused more than $60,000 in damage.

District Attorney Justin Nelson was unsure whether Kindle was subject to a background check before working as a volunteer firefighter.

He was in prison from 2009 through 2011 and had finished his parole three the months before November arson.

inmates transitioning back to society. But the building has high operating costs and needs refurbishment.

The East Oregonian reports that state lawmakers directed the community to come up with a plan for the site after lawmakers cut off funding.

After several last-minute saves, the 60-bed hospital closed in March. Patients were sent to other state facilities and 120 employees lost their jobs.

Veterans have higher rate of suicide PORTLAND (AP) — Military veterans account for nearly a quarter of Oregon’s suicides, even though veterans make up less than 10

percent of the state’s population.

That’s according to a report by the Oregon Health Authority that analyzed data from the state’s Violent Death Reporting System from 2008 to 2012.

The Oregonian reports that the suicides covered all age groups, including veterans of long-ended wars. The largest segment of suicide victims was men over the age of 55. For veterans under 45, the report says suicide is the leading cause of death.

Suicide victims often struggled with a variety of contributing issues, from mental health problems to alcohol abuse to relationship struggles, the report noted.

Pendleton weighs future of hospital PENDLETON (AP) — A community group in Pendleton is considering the future of a shuttered state mental hospital.

Many in the group preferred razing the former Blue Mountain Recovery Center and preparing the land for future industrial development.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Alek Shrader and Daniela Mack are having the kind of summer most young married couples would envy: working and relaxing in the mountains of New Mexico.

But when August is over, instead of heading home, they’ll hit the road. They’re both opera singers and “home” is a furnished apartment or hotel room wherever one of them — or, if they’re lucky, both of them — happen to be performing.

“We’re completely nomadic, traveling gypsies,” said Mack, a mezzo-soprano who is singing the title role of Bizet’s “Carmen” at the Santa Fe Opera, while her husband performs the tenor role of Ernesto in Donizetti’s “Don Pasquale.”

They discussed their unusual lifestyle during an interview last week at the opera house.

“We don’t own any furniture, just clothing and scores,” Shrader said.“So every three or four months we visit our respective parents, who keep our extra clothing in their garage.We change out the suitcase and get back on the road.”

Another young married operatic couple, soprano Ailyn Perez and tenor Stephen Costello, do own a home, but they rarely get to visit it together, given the demands of their careers.

They met and married (in 2008) in Philadelphia, where Costello grew up and where they studied at the Academy of Vocal Arts. When her parents moved from Chicago to Tennessee, Chattanooga, that seemed like an appealing spot to buy a house, and, as she put it: “also maybe a place we could grow into.”

Future of E. Idaho sheep research station unclear BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The of Department U.S. Agriculture plans to begin shutting down a sheep research facility on the Idaho-Montana border that has operated for nearly a century if it doesn’t hear objections from lawmakers

by Friday.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on June 17 sent letters to two U.S. senators and two U.S. representatives on appropriations subcommittees telling them of his proposal to close the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station near Dubois in eastern Idaho.

The agency’s Agricultural Research Service said it can move ahead with the closure following a waiting period.

“Congress has 30 days,” Sandy Miller Hays, director of information staff for the Agriculture Department’s Agricultural Research Service, said Thursday. “We haven’t heard back from Congress yet.

If Congress doesn’t respond at all, then we would go forth with the proposal.”

In the letter to the lawmakers, Vilsack said declining and flat budgets mean there aren’t enough scientists to conduct research at the sheep station that has been the target of lawsuits by conservation groups.

The groups contend that the sheep station is harming wildlife, including threatened grizzly bears, in the area that is considered a corridor between Yellowstone National Park and the mountainous wilds of central Idaho.

blame the station for the deaths of several grizzly bears in the area. They contend one bear was killed by someone protecting sheep.

“There’s only one Yellowstone on planet said Michael Earth,” Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity. “We have this magnificent assemblage of wildlife in this ecosystem, and the sheep station is harming them.”

Vilsack sent the letter to Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Arkansas, who is a subcommittee chairman on the Committee of Appropriations. Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, the ranking Republican on the subcommittee, also received a copy.

In the House, Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-Alabama, is the subcommittee chairman on of the Committee Appropriations. Rep. Sam Farr of California, the ranking Democrat, also received the letter.

Congress previously approved the current budget.

Chairman and ranking members on appropriate subcommittees must approve changes to that budget, said Brian Rell, chief of staff for Aderholt.

That is in conflict with the idea of the 30-day deadline and that the Agriculture Department could go ahead with the closure without the four lawmakers agreeing.

Rell said that some of the concepts lawmakers operate under are considered to be accepted practices rather than hard rules.

The couple spoke in an interview in New York last month where Costello was appearing in a concert and she was helping promote their joint album of operatic and Broadway favorites, appropriately titled “Love Duets.” From there, they flew to San Francisco, where they just completed a run of Verdi’s “La Traviata.”

“We’ve been lucky with working together,” said Costello. “Not that we’d go to a company said say, ‘Hey, you need to hire us together,’ because people don’t like that, and we don’t have that power anyway. But a lot of casting directors see us in roles together, not because we’re married but because they like us as artists.”

Yet Perez is quick to note that later this summer, Costello will head off to Japan — alone. Like Mack and Shrader, they’ll rely on phone calls or Skype to stay in touch.

“You get to tour the world and do what you love, but sometimes you realize, hey it’s wonderful but I miss my family,” Perez said. “So when you get together you appreciate it more.”

Both couples met as apprentices, and though all four are currently in demand around the world, they seem aware of the dangers of a two-career family whose careers can develop unevenly.

Shrader said that when he and Mack joined San Francisco’s Merola Opera Program, “we were given a huge lecture about how you shouldn’t date a singer.

Because eventually one of you is going to be more successful than the other one, and that’s going to create jealousy and competition in

When you’re stuck and can’t get going A question I receive nearly every day goes something like this: I’m ready to get started taking back control of my finances. But how do I get started? It’s like I’m stuck.

Don’t think you are alone if you find yourself wanting to do all the steps at once. But that could be a big mistake.

In the same way when building a house you wouldn’t pour the foundation, raise the walls and put on the roof all at the same time, with your money makeover, you need to t a k e EVERYDAY hings CHEAPSKATE tone step at a time.

First you need to lay the foundation. I call this initial step “ t ra c k ing.” You Mary cannot Hunt manage what you cannot measure.

Tracking means to write down exactly where every penny goes. If you bring home $793.42 this week, next week you should be able to account for every single cent.

Where did that money go?

I suggest that you track on a daily basis. Every morning start with a fresh sheet of paper. Throughout the day, as you spend any amount of money, write it down. How much did you spend and what did you spend it for? Do this for at least 30 days (longer may be necessary if you are really in a financial fog). Ideally both you and your partner should keep record.

At the end of a month pull out all of those daily records.

Categorize your spending.

You will begin to see patterns. Perhaps you spend $3.49 a day on lattes. Of course there are no right or wrong answers here. But you might want to point out to yourself that if you keep this up for a year, you will shell out $1,273 on coffee drinks.

Apply this multiplication to all of your spending categories. Where are things really out of line? Can you see why you are spending more than you earn? How much of your spending was done with cash?

Debit cards?

Checkbook? Credit cards?

What might you have done differently to come out with a more favorable end?

It is not going to take the assessment of a professional financial planner to point out problems in your spending.

You will see that instinctively. Putting things in black and white has a way of clearing the fog.

You may find this to be the activity that keeps you going in the right direction month after month. Some people find they need to do this for the rest of their lives as a normal part of their personal finance management. It can’t hurt.

Cutting expenses in every way possible is the next logical step. The goal is to get your outgo to be less than your income by trimming expenses. The best way to trim is to do a little bit in every area. Little things really add up when it comes to trimming just as they do when it comes to foolish and unaccounted spending.

Just think: If you had your lattes just three days a week rather than seven, you would trim more than $700 from your annual spending. It takes time, but little by little you will be amazed how well you can do.

OK, there’s your jumpstart. I would love to know how this is working for you.

NATIONAL Ebola crisis in West Africa deepens; 500+ dead D I G E S T Israel downs drone along southern coast JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said it downed a drone on Monday along the country’s southern coastline, the first time it encountered an unmanned aircraft since the campaign against Gaza Strip militants began last week.

The drone was launched from Gaza and was shot down near the southern city of Ashdod, the military said.

Hamas claimed it launched several drones Monday at Israel, without immediately providing details on their missions.

Kerry, Iranian diplomat to hold talks VIENNA (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry will hold in-depth discussions Monday with Iran’s top diplomat in a bid to advance faltering nuclear negotiations, with a deadline just days away for a comprehensive agreement.

The scheduled talks come a day after Kerry and the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany failed to reach a breakthrough on uranium enrichment and other issues standing in the way of a deal that would curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for the end of nuclear-related sanctions on Tehran.

Japan wrestles with nuclear waste HORONOBE, Japan (AP) — Reindeer farms and grazing Holstein cows dot a vast stretch of rolling green pasture here on Japan’s northern tip. Underground it’s a different story.

Workers and scientists have carved a sprawling laboratory deep below this sleep dairy town that, despite government reassurances, some of Horonobe’s 2,500 residents fear could turn their neighborhood into a nuclear waste storage site.

Juncker set to be EU’s new chief executive BRUSSELS (AP) — The incoming leader of Europe’s most powerful bureaucracy is a master of the backroom deal — and an outspoken and witty career politician who once advocated the right to lie in times of crisis.

Jean-Claude Juncker, who was prime minister of Luxembourg for almost two decades, was a controversial pick as the 28-nation European Union’s new chief executive, not least because the British government vociferously opposed him.

The British tabloid The Sun portrayed him as “the most dangerous man in Europe.”

Yet the 59-year-old conservative politician is set to be elected by overwhelming majority Tuesday as the next president of the European Commission. He will succeed the incumbent, Jose Manuel Barroso of Portugal, in November, and assume key responsibilities for steering the world’s biggest economy during the next five years.

Artist creates wearable sculptures NEW YORK (AP) — Linda Stein wants people to armor themselves in her art.

She creates full-length wearable sculptures embedded with all manner of found objects, including driftwood, engraving plates, steel wire, zippers, pebbles and comic book imagery of superheroes.

Her idea grew out of her sense of vulnerability after the Sept. 11 attacks, with the aim of giving wearers a sense of empowerment and protection.Her targets are any form of institutionalized oppression, such as sexism, racism and homophobia.

Shipwreck floated for tow to Genova GIGLIO, Italy (AP) — The shipwrecked Costa Concordia was successfully refloated Monday in preparation to be towed away for scrapping, 30 months after it struck a reef and capsized, killing 32 people.

Authorities expressed satisfaction that the operation to float the Concordia from an underwater platform had proceeded without a hitch.

Technicians were preparing to shift it some 30 meters and then anchor the massive cruise ship before ending the day’s operations.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Deep in the forests of southern Guinea, the first victims fell ill with high fevers.

People assumed it was the perennial killer malaria and had no reason to fear touching the bodies, as is the custom in traditional funerals.

Some desperate relatives brought their loved ones to the distant capital in search of better medical care, unknowingly spreading what ultimately was discovered to be Ebola, one of the world’s most deadly diseases.

Ebola, a hemorrhagic fever that can cause its victims to bleed from the ears and nose, had never before been seen in this part of West Africa where medical clinics are few and far between. The disease has turned up in at least two other countries — Liberia and Sierra Leone — and 539 deaths have been attributed to the outbreak that is now the largest on record.

The key to halting Ebola is isolating the sick, but fear and panic have sent some patients into hiding, complicating efforts to stop its spread. Ebola has reached the capitals of all three countries, and the World Health Organization reported 44 new cases including 21 deaths on Friday.

There has been “a gross misjudgment across the board in gauging the severity and scale of damage the current Ebola outbreak can unleash,” the aid group Plan

The Associated Press

Ebola advocacy group Crusaders for Peace, spokesperson Juli Endee, right, educates people on the deadly virus in Paynesville, east of the city Monrovia, Liberia. Ebola, a hemorrhagic fever that can cause its victims to bleed from the ears and nose, had never before been seen in this part of West Africa where medical clinics are few and far between. The disease has turned up in at least two other countries, Liberia and Sierra Leone, and 539 deaths have been attributed to the outbreak that is now the largest on record.

Officer slain by killer who sought fame JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Family and friends say Melvin Santiago had dreamed of being a police officer since he was a boy, seeking to follow in the footsteps of his uncle.

When Santiago accomplished his dream last December and joined the Jersey City force as a rookie officer, he asked to serve in what the city’s public safety director describes as its The Associated Press “toughest district.” Seven A Jersey City Police Department cruiser is seen with bullet holes on the months after he graduated windshield at the scene where an officer was shot and killed while from the police academy, the responding to a call at a 24-hour pharmacy Sunday in Jersey City, N.J. 23-year-old was dead after a gunman shot him in the head.

“Melvin was an officer who represented everything one would want to see in a police officer,” Fulop said. “I know the entire city’s thoughts and prayers are with the Santiago family during this difficult time and we mourn together.”

Santiago’s longtime friend, Gary Nahrwold, said it was about a decade ago that his pal told him he wanted to become a police officer.

Nahrwold, 24, also hopes to join the force and said he won’t be discouraged by Santiago’s slaying. If he joins a police department, he will serve in Melvin’s memory and the memory of others killed in the line of duty.

“It just gives me more purpose to do it,” he said.

“I’m not going to be deterred by some senseless crimes.”

Activist Malala in Nigeria: ‘Bring Back Our Girls’ ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s president promised Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai that he would meet with the parents of some of the 219 schoolgirls held by Islamic extremists for three months, she said Monday.

Malala is celebrating her 17th birthday in Nigeria in an effort to work for the release of the girls from Boko Haram.

Nearly 40 were reported in a single village in the country’s east.

using the social media slogan that has been picked up around the world to demand freedom for the girls kidnapped from a school in the remote northeast Nigerian town of Chibok before dawn on April 15.

Boko Haram attacks continued over the weekend with witnesses blaming them for the bombing of a major bridge on a northeast Nigerian highway that further limits access to its base camps in the Sambisa Forest, where some of the kidnapped girls are

believed to be held captive.

Gunmen destroyed most of the bridge on the road between Maiduguri and Biu on Saturday night, making it impossible for vehicles to cross, the spokesman for the Nigerian Vigilante Group, Abbas Gava, told The Associated Press.

Malala, who escaped a Taliban assassination attempt in 2012, met with Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan Monday and told reporters afterward that “he promised me that

the girls will be returned as soon as possible.”

She described an emotional meeting Sunday with some of the parents of the girls.

“I could see tears in their eyes. They were hopeless.

But they seem to have this hope in their hearts ... and they were asking that: Is it possible that they could meet the president.”

She is hopeful that the meeting, and the release of the girls, will happen “really soon,” she said.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — A Ukrainian military transport plane was shot down Monday along the country’s eastern border with Russia, the defense minister said.

Rebels in conflict-wracked eastern Ukraine immediately claimed responsibility for downing the Antonov-26 but Ukrainian Defense Minister Valeriy Heletey said the rocket may have been fired from Russia.

Heletey said the plane was flying at an altitude of 21,300 feet, which he said was too high to be reached with the weapons used by the separatists fighting government troops.

Ukrainian authorities say plane may have been carrying around 20 people but there was no immediate word on casualties.

In the last two weeks, the government has halved the territory held by pro-Russia separatists, who have been forced back into strongholds around the eastern cities of Luhansk and Donetsk. Those two mostly Russian-speaking regions have declared independence from the government in Kiev.

Mubarak party leaders can run for elections CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian appeals court ruled Monday that leaders of the former ruling party of ousted President Hosni Mubarak will not be barred from running for elections, opening the door for old regime figures to return to the country’s stifled political scene.

The decision by the Cairo Appeals Court for Urgent Matters overturns an earlier ruling that banned leaders of Mubarak’s National Democratic Party from taking part in any elections.

The party was dissolved following the uprising that toppled Mubarak in 2011. A number of the party leaders formed new parties,while others joined existing ones. In 2012, an Islamist-dominated committee drafting the country’s new constitution pushed an article in the charter that bars the NDP leaders from taking part in political life for 10 years.

WASHINGTON — Citigroup announced Monday that it will pay roughly $7 billion to settle a federal investigation into risky subprime mortgages, the type that helped bring on the financial crisis.

The bank, one of America’s largest, revealed the deal as part of its quarterly earnings report. At a news conference later, Attorney General Eric Holder said the bank’s behavior had “shattered lives and livelihoods throughout the country and around the world.”

The settlement stems from the sale of securities made up of subprime mortgages, which led to both the housing boom and bust that triggered the Great Recession at the end of 2007.

Citigroup and other banks downplayed the risks of subwhen prime mortgages packaging and selling them to mutual funds, investment trusts, pensions, as well as other banks and investors.

The securities, which contained so-called residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations, plunged in value when the housing market collapsed in 2006 and 2007. Those losses triggered a financial crisis that pushed the economy into the worst recession since the 1930s.

The bank separately agreed in April to pay $1.13 billion to settle claims by investors seeking that the lender buy back billions of dollars in residential mortgage-backed securities.

In the deal announced Monday, Citigroup will make a $4 billion civil monetary payment to the Justice Department, and another $500 million in compensatory payments to state attorneys general and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

The bank will provide $2.5 billion in consumer relief, which will include financing for construction and preser-

Citigroup to pay $7B in subprime mortgages probe

vation of affordable housing, as well as principal reduction and forbearance for residential loans.

CEO Michael Corbat said the settlement ends all pending civil investigations related to its handling of mortgagebacked securities.

The two sides had earlier been far apart in their negotiations. The Justice Department had warned last month that it would sue after the bank offered to pay under $4 billion to resolve the matter, a sum substantially less than what the government was seeking.

The bank will take a pre-tax charge of about $3.8 billion because of the settlement during its second quarter.

Citigroup shares rose $1.67, or 3.6 percent, to $48.67 in morning trading Citigroup said that its net income dropped in the second quarter after the settlement was arranged.

That charge pushed down Citigroup’s net income to $181 million from $4.18 billion a year earlier.

On a per-share basis, net income was 3 cents, compared with $1.34 in the secondquarter a year earlier.

Excluding the charges and an accounting gain, the bank’s second-quarter profit rose 1 percent to $3.93 billion, or $1.24 a share. A year earlier, the bank earned $3.89 billion, or $1.25 per share.

Revenue was $19.4 billion, excluding the accounting gain, compared with $20 billion a year earlier.

The Citigroup settlement comes months after a similar deal between the Justice Department and JPMorgan Chase & Co., the nation’s biggest bank. After months of negotiations, the bank last year agreed to pay $13 billion after an investigation into toxic mortgage-backed securities.

As part of the deal, which included settlements with New York, California and other states, JPMorgan agreed to provide $4 billion in relief to homeowners affected by the bad loans.

“and unfortunately, that’s all it said,” Burns said. When the state adopted rules to implement House Bill 3460, it included a requirement that labs meet a set of international standards for operations.

However, the state lacks the authority to check for compliance. As a result, state officials currently must take dispensary operators at their word that they use labs that meet state requirements.

Oregon Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, one of the chief sponsors of House Bill 3460, said lawmakers did not intend to withhold authority for the state to reglabs.

“That is ulate something we will need to rectify in the 2015 (legislative) session,” Buckley wrote in an email.

“Professionalizing the medical marijuana program will take time. We need to work out how to regulate the labs, and how to regulate growers as well. The main goal of (the bill) was to establish safe access as the state’s policy, and to focus on the regulation of the dispensaries that now offer safe access,” he said.

Oregon is not alone in playing catch-up when it comes to regulating the labs that test marijuana.

Colorado and Washington, the only two states that have legalized recreational pot, have also scrambled to come up with lab regulations. Voters in both states approved measures in 2012 to legalize recreational pot, but neither had adopted lab regulations by the time Oregon officials began to write rules last year to implement the state’s new marijuana regulations.

Brian Smith, a spokesman for the Washington State Liquor Control Board that regulates recreational pot, said state law charged the agency with accreditation of marijuana labs. The board eventually developed a checklist of lab requirements and contracts with Columbia Basin College in Pasco to check compliance with the standards.

Colorado adopted its lab regulations in May, state Department of Revenue spokeswoman Natriece Bryant wrote in an email.

“Requirements cover personnel qualifications, standard operating procedures, analytical processes, proficiency testing, quality control, quality assurance, security, chain of custody, specimen retention, records retention and results reporting,” Bryant wrote.

In Oregon, Sackett and the Oregon Cannabis Industry Association are involved in writing a proposal for a bill to regulate labs that test marijuana. The group plans to propose that

the Legislature in 2015 pass a law to require all marijuana testing labs to meet lab standards set by the International Organization for Standardization and use accreditation third-party groups to check lab compliance. They hope to publish a blueprint for the law — called a legislative concept — in August.

Sackett estimated there are at least 10 labs in Oregon that test marijuana products.

“I believe that additional regulation will weed out flyby-night labs,” Sackett said.

Anthony Johnson, executive director of the Oregon Cannabis Industry Association, said he knew of five labs.

Before state regulations took effect, customers were most interested in tests to determine the potency of various cannabis strains, Sackett said. Cascadia Labs continues to develop new tests and recently began offering a test for residual solvents left over from the process of extracting cannabis oil.

For now, Cascadia Labs’ procedures by-the-book could give it an edge if the state begins regulating the labs. Employees at Cascadia Labs keep records on product samples from the minute they arrive at the office, weighing them to establish the amount of cannabis product in their custody. Strict lab procedures could position the company to succeed if there is ever an end to the federal prohibition on marijuana.

gency budget request from the White House to deal with the growing crisis on the border.

Feinstein did not elaborate on what changes to the current system she believed the law already allows the president to make.

Under the current law, the Security Homeland Department has 72 hours to transfer child immigrants traveling alone to the Health and Human Services Department’s Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Amid the crush of children traveling alone, more than 39,000 other people traveling with their families, mostly mothers and young children, have also been caught in South Texas. An undisclosed number have been released into the community with notices to report back to

immigration officials or in court at a later date.

Obama said the $3.7 billion in emergency spending would help the government deal with the flood of unaccompanied child immigrants crossing the border in South Texas. Some of the money would go to help fund about 40 additional immigration judge teams.

Federal immigration courts have a backlog of more than 375,000 cases. It can often take several years for an immigrant to receive a final ruling.

Republicans have balked at the size of Obama’s spending request, arguing that he needs to do more to secure the border and do more to stop immigrant children from making the trip from Central America in the first place.

FIRE Class includes hands-on drills Continued from Page A1

recommend that fire extinguishers only be used by adults who have been trained on how to safely use them.

Crutchfield says Tuesday’s class will be a two-hour focus on the safety, use, inspection, and placement of fire extinguishers. It will include discussion, as well as hands on training.

“It’s an important fire safety tool for people to have,” he said. Just having one isn’t going to save lives, he warns, but making sure you know how to use it and keeping it functional will make a difference.

“That’s why this kind of training is important,” he said. “They should be checked regularly. Fire extinguishers do require some maintenance and should be checked by a professional at least once a year. Don’t just buy one and put it in your house and think you are good forever.”

A fire extinguisher is also just one part of the fire safety equation.

Along with an extinguisher, each home should have a working smoke alarm on each floor, and a fire escape plan. Smoke alarms should be tested monthly, and it is recommended that only smoke alarms with 10-year lithium batteries be used. A home fire escape plan should be reviewed and discussed with the family on a regular basis and you should conduct home fire drills.

Tuesday’s class is offered for any adult citizens of the Bay Area. The training will be held on July 15, from 6-8 p.m., and you must call to reserve a seat for this class as space is limited.

Crutchfield says Coos Bay Fire Rescue is committed to keeping the community safe, and folks can check their website, on the city’s coosbay.org address, for announcements on any future training opportunities on fire safety, CPR, and disaster preparedness.

If you would like to reserve a seat, or have questions, call the Coos Bay Fire Department at 541-269-1191.

Contador drops out of Tour PLANCHER-LES-MINES, France (AP) — Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali has stamped his dominance on the Tour de France by winning the 10th stage in the Vosges mountains today — shortly after his biggest rival for the title, two-time champion Alberto Contador, crashed out due to injury.

Nibali regained the overall race lead from France’s Tony Gallopin, who had taken the leader’s yellow jersey from the Italian a day earlier.

The departure of Contador, a 31-year-old Spaniard with Tinkoff-Saxo Bank, follows that of defending champion Chris Froome of Britain who crashed out in Stage 5. Before the race began this year, Froome and Contador were seen as the top two favorites.

Contador dropped out after crashing in a high-speed mountain descent — the second big withdrawal that blows the race wide open and ensures that cycling’s greatest event will have a new champion this year.

The departure of the 31-yearold Spaniard with Tinkoff-Saxo Bank follows that of Froome.

British sprinting star Mark Cavendish crashed out, too.

According to his spokesman, Contador said he wasn’t exactly sure what caused the crash — which happened while he was speeding downhill at over 70 kph (about 40 mph). The descent came about halfway through the 161.5kilometer (100-mile) trek from Mulhouse to La Planche des Belles Filles in the eastern Vosges mountains.

“He explained to me just a few minutes ago that he (hit) a stone, or a hole in the road, or something — and he crashed,” spokesman Jacinto Vidarte told The Associated Press by phone during the stage. “He couldn’t do anything about it.”

Babe Ruth teams gear up for state tourneys

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

NORTH BEND — Three South Coast Babe Ruth All-Star teams held a round robin scrimmage Sunday at Clyde Allen Field, prepping for their state tournaments this weekend.

The 13-year-old prep, 14-yearold prep and 13- to 15-year-old teams played each played the other two during the day. The primary purpose for the games was to get the kids who haven’t played together as much in-game experience as possible to build chemistry before state.

The 14 and 13-15 teams will both be traveling to Klamath Falls for their tournament. The 13year-old team hosts its event at Clyde Allen Field.

All three tournaments will be Saturday and Sunday, with the winning team from each division advancing to the regional tournaments.

“This is a lot of pressure,” 14year-old coach Mike Campbell said of Sunday’s games. “Even if this is a scrimmage, you’re playing all the people you’ve played all year.”

They did keep score, and in the first game, the 14-year-old team lost to the 13-year-old squad 10-9.

In the second game, the 13-yearold team wasn’t able to keep the momentum going, losing to the 13-15 squad 15-5. The 13-15 team won the final game 15-1 over the 14-year-old group and looked very sharp.

With how many kids are able to excel in multiple spots, 13-15 coch Bill Roderick said the squad is “overloaded” at some positions and used Sunday to gauge who are the best fits.

He also highlighted the play of two of the kids from Reedsport, Wayde Doane — one of the “load” of power hitters Roderick has — and Joe Hixenbaugh. The team’s starting pitcher was Mason Jussila, a monster on the mound at 6-foot-3. He has a bit of a lumbering delivery but shut the youngest team down after giving up four runs in the first inning.

Germany’s Mario Goetze, who scored the winning goal, holds the World Cup trophy following his team’s 1-0 victory over Argentina in the championship match Sunday.

Germany wins World Cup RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Mario Goetze produced the piece of individual skill that Lionel Messi couldn’t muster.

With two quick, deft touches, Goetze ended Germany’s 24-year wait for another World Cup title with an extra-time winner against Argentina on Sunday — denying Messi the one title he needs to forever take his place among the game’s all-time greats.

It was the moment of brilliance that ensured Germany’s 1-0 victory in a tight and tense final.

Goetze, who wasn’t born when West Germany beat Argentina in the 1990 final, controlled a cross with his chest in the 113th minute and in one fluid motion volleyed the ball past goalkeeper Sergio Romero and inside the far post from five yards out.

It delivered Germany its fourth World Cup title, equal second with Italy on the list of all-time champions and just behind Brazil’s five.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling. I don’t know how to describe it. You just shoot that goal in, you don’t really know what’s happening,”

Goetze said. “And then at the end Spain a 1-0 extra-time win over of the match, having a party with the Netherlands.

It went entirely to script, the team, the whole country ... it is according to Germany coach for us, a dream come true.”

At the final whistle, Germany Joachim Loew.

“I said to Mario Goetze, ‘OK, players fell into a pile in a midshow to the world pitch celebration. that you’re better Messi walked past than Messi and you them with his It is an can decide the hands on his hips — World Cup. You still in the shadow unbelievable have all the possiof his compatriot bilities to do that,”’ Diego Maradona, feeling. I don’t Loew said. “I had a who led his country know how to good feeling with to the 1986 title. him.”

The 22-year-old describe it.

in the last three World Cups.

“This was our chance, and we felt that way. We couldn’t do it. We have to lift our heads and suffer the pain,” Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano said. “Obviously, the pain is tremendous.”

It is Germany’s first World Cup title as a unified nation, having won as West Germany in 1954, 1974 and 1990.

The Germans faced Argentina in both the 1986 and 1990 finals, during Maradona’s heyday. This time, they were up against Messi, the four-time world player of the year who has set a slew of scoring records in leading Barcelona to every major club title and is widely considered the best player since Maradona.

But in the biggest game of his career, Messi came up short.

He had one good chance to score when he was sent free in the area just after the halftime break, but sent his shot wide. It was a difficult angle, but still the type of chance he so often converts for Barcelona.

Keselowski wins New Hampshire race LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Brad Keselowski hopped out of his car and grabbed an oversized broom to give a playful sweep of all the confetti already collected around his Ford.

He then truly savored his victory, snagging a New England lobster and raising it in triumph.

Keselowski survived without a cut, splinter or pinch. He didn’t even fumble his championship crustacean. For once, his victory celebration was as perfect as his performance on the track.

He completed a flawless weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and won Sunday under a green-white checkered finish.

Keselowski followed up Saturday’s Nationwide Series victory with his first Sprint Cup win at New Hampshire, dominating in the No. 2 Ford for his third victory of the season.

The 2012 Sprint Cup champion is now tied with Jimmie Johnson for the series lead in wins.

“This was just such a phenomenal weekend and these don’t happen that often,” he said.

Keselowski had been in a slump with, of all things, his Victory Lane fun.

He needed four stitches to close a wound he received during his Victory Lane celebration in the Sprint Cup race at Kentucky. He tried to open the bottle of champagne by hitting it against a podium, and the bottle broke and cut his hand.

Keselowski dropped the American flag out of his No. 22 Ford on Saturday and it was retrieved by an official to let the frivolity continue.

He joked he brought Kevlarreinforced gloves that were touted as cut-proof.

The Associated Press

Brad Keselowski celebrates with his girlfriend, Paige White, holding a lobster, in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday.

Good thing. The New Hampshire winner traditionally receives a live lobster in Victory Lane.

“Apparently, I’ve got to win more and I’ll get better at it,” he said. “I think everybody got to

hold the lobster. We’re looking forward to eating the lobster later this week. I hear they’re going to overnight the meat.”

He’ll get a taste of Loudon the Lobster — yes, that’s its name — a 20-pounder caught off the coast

of New Bedford, Massachusetts.

And Keselowski won driving the Redd’s Apple Ford Fusion, truly making the win a Redd Lobster photo opp.

Keselowski keeps pilling up wins and has proved he may be even better than he was during ‘12 championship run.

“I think in a lot of ways, we’re stronger than that,” he said. “I don’t think we’ve had this much speed before.”

After the last caution came with four laps left, Keselowski pulled away on the final restart to become the first driver to sweep the weekend in track history. He had the fastest car most of the weekend, even leading the speed charts during both Sprint Cup practices on Saturday.

“You can’t have a great car if you don’t have the best driver,” team owner Roger Penske said. “I can tell you today, there was nobody that could beat him.”

Keselowski and Dale Earnhardt Jr. clinched spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, provided they attempt to qualify for the final seven races before the cutoff.

Pole sitter Kyle Busch was second. Kyle Larson, Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman completed the top five.

Busch said the No. 18 Toyota never had enough to mount a serious challenge.

“I don’t think anybody did,” he said.

Keselowski led 138 of 305 laps (four more than the scheduled 301) and helped Ford to its fourth straight win. Ford last won four consecutive Sprint Cup races in 2001.

Mets surge into break THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Jacob deGrom had a tiebreaking single and again shut down the Marlins with seven impressive innings, David Wright doubled twice and drove in two runs, and the New York Mets completed a three-game sweep of Miami with a 9-1 victory on Sunday.

A double by Bumgarner helped set up Posey’s slam in the fifth. Bumgarner homered the next inning — he also hit a slam on April 11 against Colorado.

Dutch beat Brazil for third place BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — When it was all over, it was the Netherlands receiving a standing ovation from the Brazilian crowd. Brazil walked off the field to boos, after another demoralizing loss to end its home World Cup. The Netherlands’ remarkable campaign ended on a high note after Robin van Persie and Daley Blind scored early goals to help give the team a 3-0 win over Brazil in the third-place game on Saturday.

“We can look back at a very successful tournament,” Dutch coach Louis Van Gaal said. “I’m proud of my players.”

The Netherlands finishes a World Cup unbeaten in regular play for the first time, having lost to Argentina on penalties in the semifinals.

After finishing runner-up in 2010, the third place is the best position for the Dutch squad since it lost the final in 1974 and 1978.

The Brazilian fans loudly greeted the Dutch players after they received the thirdplace medals, applauding on their feet.

“I would like to thank all people in Brazil for their great support,” Arjen Robben said.

“For us it was the best way to end this tournament. We fully deserved third place the way we played. It’s a very big achievement.”

The loss added to Brazil’s frustration at the home tour-

Daley Blind celebrates with his teammate Georginio Wijnaldum, right, after scoring the second goal for the Netherlands during the World Cup third-place match against Brazil on Saturday. nament following the disastrous 7-1 defeat to Germany.

After the final whistle, the team was loudly booed by the nearly 70,000 fans that attended the match at the National Stadium in Brasilia.

Many had already left even before the late third goal by the Dutch. It’s the first time since 1940 that Brazil lost two consecutive competitive games on home soil.

“It’s a terrible feeling, I don’t know what to say,” Oscar said. “After a huge loss to Germany, today we tried our best from the beginning to win third place but it wasn’t our day. We have to see what went wrong so we can improve for the future.”

Brazil conceding 14 goals

in the tournament, the most ever for the team. The previous worst had been 11 goals in the 1938 World Cup. Now it conceded 10 in its last two games.

“It was supposed to be an even match but after the early goal things started going their way,” Scolari said. “I don’t think we played that bad. The players fought hard from the start. They created chances, so it’s difficult to lose 3-0. But they deserve all the credit in the end, they reached the semifinals.”

Van Persie converted a penalty kick three minutes into the match after Robben was brought down by Brazil captain Thiago Silva on the edge of the area. Blind added

to the lead in the 17th with a shot from near the penalty spot after defender David Luiz made a mistake while trying to clear a cross in front of the goal. Georginio Wijnaldum rounded off the win in injury time with a shot inside the near post.

“The most beautiful was our resilience. We were knocked out but we came back and finished third,” Wijnaldum said. “We wanted to close it out well.”

Brazil looked lost from the start, making many of the same defensive mistakes that marked the historic defeat to the Germans four days ago.

The Netherlands took advantage with quick passes and speed in the attack.

Silva had to foul Robben after being beaten on the run, leading to van Persie’s firm left-foot shot into the right upper corner to put the Dutch ahead.

The Dutch wanted a red card for Silva for a professional foul, but Algerian referee Djamel Haimoudi only gave him a yellow. Silva had missed the semifinal against Germany because of a yellow card suspension.

Blind added to the lead after Luiz failed to clear a cross, heading the ball right back to the Dutch defender for an easy goal.

Wijnaldum closed the scoring in injury time with a goal from inside the area after a cross by Daryl Janmaat.

Rockets send Lin to Lakers for Lishchuk EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Jeremy Lin has joined the Lakers in a trade with Houston along with firstand second-round draft picks in 2015 for the rights to center Sergei Lishchuk.

The Lakers made the deal official Sunday.

Lin will make about $15 million this season in the last year of a deal that counts only $8 million against the salary cap. The Lakers have cap room to absorb Lin’s contract.

Lin averaged 12.5 points and 4.1 assists last season but lost his starting job. The Harvard player was born in Los Angeles and figures to be popular with the city’s large Asian community.

Lishchuk played for Valencia in Spain last season.

He was drafted by Memphis in the 2004, dealt to the Rockets in 2008 and traded to Lakers in 2010.

BASEBALL Hudson is late addition to All-Star game roster MINNEAPOLIS — San Francisco’s Tim Hudson, Cincinnati’s Alfredo Simon, San Diego’s Huston Street and Washington’s Tyler Clippard have been added to the roster for Tuesday’s AllStar game at Target Field as the National League changed about one-third of its pitching staff.

They replace a quartet of pitchers who started Sunday: the Giants’ Madison Bumgarner, the Reds’ Johnny Cueto, the Padres’ Tyson Ross and the Atlanta Braves’ Julio Teheran.

Hudson, a four-time AllStar, is 7-6 with a 2.87 ERA, and Simon is 12-3 with a 2.70 ERA. Street has 24 saves and a 1.09 ERA, and Clippard is 6-2 with a 2.03 ERA in 43 relief appearances.

“It’s a give and take.

Obviously, I’m honored and happy in that sense,” Clippard said before laughing and adding, “I’d like to go get some rounds of golf in, but I’ll take one for the team.”

On Saturday, Miami right-hander Henderson Alvarez and Seattle closer Fernando Rodney were added.

Alvarez will replace injured Washington pitcher Jordan Zimmermann.

Rodney will take the spot of Tampa Bay lefty David Price.

Because of an illness, Price was pushed back in the Rays’ rotation to start Sunday, making him ineligible for the game.

GOLF Harman wins with three birdies late in round SILVIS, Ill. — Brian Harman won his first PGA Tour title on Sunday, using three straight birdie putts in the final five holes to pull away from veteran Zach Johnson to win the John Deere Classic.

Harman had a 5-under 66 in the final round for a 22under-262 total and a onestroke victory over Johnson to win $846,000, along with the last exemption for next week’s British Open.

Harman, a 27-year-old Georgian in his third full season on the PGA Tour, withstood Johnson’s challenge by making three birdies beginning at No. 14 to get to 23 under with two holes to play.

Johnson, playing four pairs ahead of Harman, birdied the 17th to get within a stroke, but ran out of holes.

Jhonattan Vegas raced into a tie for third with a closing 65, ending up tied with Jerry Kelly at 265. Scott Brown and Tim Clark tied for fifth at 266.

Rose captures victory in Scottish Open ABERDEEN, Scotland — Justin Rose won the Scottish Open by two shots after a final round of 6-under 65, sealing back-to-back victories on either side of the Atlantic and bolstering his confidence ahead of next week’s British Open.

The 2013 U.S. Open champion turned the last day into a procession, rolling in six birdies and going bogeyfree on a windless Royal Aberdeen links course.

Unheralded Swede Kristoffer Broberg finished second on 14 under after a 66. That secured him a place at the British Open at Hoylake, along with other top-10 finishers Tyrrell Hatton and Scott Jamieson.

Sounders top Timbers in front of 64,207 fans SEATTLE (AP) — The intent was for Clint Dempsey to go 65 or 70 minutes and not push too hard in his return from the World Cup rejoining the Seattle Sounders.

Dempsey didn’t want an abbreviated appearance. Not against Portland. Not in front of another massive crowd.

Dempsey scored off a wild scramble in the 71st minute, and the Sounders beat rival Portland 2-0 on Sunday night, their second victory over the Timbers in four days.

After getting a week to rejuvenate following the U.S. being eliminated, Dempsey was ready. He was subbed off in the final seconds, but his influence was made.

said. “I was just glad to play a part helping the team win and just excited to get back playing with this team.”

Dempsey’s goal finished a lengthy buildup of pressure by the Sounders.

Dempsey and Obafemi Martins were both denied by Portland goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts earlier in the sequence with sprawling kick saves. The ball eventually landed at the feet of Gonzalo Pineda and his diagonal pass found Dempsey open in front of the net for his first goal with Seattle since April 26 against Colorado. Dempsey was kept onside on the play

by Portland’s Will Johnson.

Martins and Dempsey did not play in Seattle’s 3-1 extra-time win over Portland in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals earlier this week.

Seattle’s Clint Dempsey celebrates after scoring a goal against the Portland Timbers during the second half Sunday.

Having a pair of fresh legs leading Seattle’s attack was noticeable in the second half.

“It really gave us a lot of problems when (Martins) and Dempsey went up top,” Johnson said. “It was a tough

matchup that we did our best to contain. But eventually, they broke us down.”

Marco Pappa added his second goal of the season in the 86th minute on a counter attack moments after

Portland’s Gaston Fernandez hit the outside of the goalpost with his attempt. It was Pappa’s second goal this week against the Timbers after scoring the final tally in the U.S. Open Cup victory.

Dempsey’s return after two months away for World Cup duty came before a crowd of 64,207, just shy of a sellout at CenturyLink Field.

It was the only visit to Seattle this season by the Timbers and Seattle moved 10 points clear of second-place Real Salt Lake in the MLS Western Conference with the victory.

While there lacked the fireworks of the 4-4 draw the sides played in Portland in early April,there was plenty of chances in the final 45 minutes and most of them coming at Seattle’s offensive end.

Ricketts was tested repeat-

edly, including the second minute of the second half on a shot by Pineda. He smothered multiple shot attempts by Lamar Neagle and denied Dempsey off a quick throw-in in the 55th minute when the United States captain tried to sneak a right-footed shot past Ricketts.

But Ricketts could only watch as Dempsey scored his ninth goal of the season, including four coming against the Timbers. Dempsey scored a hat trick during the first matchup in April.

Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei was rarely challenged, but came up with a key pair of saves three minutes into the second half. He first blocked Steve Zakuani’s shot from the top of the penalty area, then deflected the rebound attempt by Fanendo Adi.

Sports Montgomerie wins U.S. Senior Open

The Associated Press

Mo Martin celebrates after finishing her round at the Women's British Open on Sunday. Martin won the tournament with an eagle on the 18th hole.

Martin wins with dramatic eagle SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — This wasn’t quite the “shot heard ’round the world,” though Mo Martin did hear it.

Thinking only about the quality of the shot — not that it might be the winning shot in the Ricoh Women’s British Open — Martin hit a 3-wood from just under 240 yards on the par-5 18th hole at Royal Birkdale and watched it bounce along the links toward the flag.

“When it was rolling on the ground, I said, ‘Sit!’ And then I said, ‘Go!’ And it looked perfect, so I didn’t have anything more to say,” Martin said.

And then came a sound she won’t soon forget.

“I heard it hit the pin from the fairway,” Martin said, the

silver trophy at her side.

“That was a pretty fun feeling.”

The ball rolled against the middle of the flagstick and settled 6 feet away for an eagle. She didn’t realize just how important it was until an hour later, when Shanshan Feng of China and Inbee Park of South Korea couldn’t stay under par, and then couldn’t make birdie over the two par5 closing holes to catch her.

Martin closed with an even-par 72 — no one broke par in the 25 mph wind Sunday — and finished at 1under 287 for a one-shot victory over Feng and Suzann Pettersen, whose birdiebirdie finish was too late to atone for a pair of double bogeys earlier in the round.

Americans now have won

the first three majors of the LPGA Tour season for the first time since 1999, with Martin following Lexi Thompson at the Kraft Nabisco Championship and Michelle Wie at the U.S. Women’s Open.

The beauty of links golf is that it can be so unpredictable, and the biggest surprise turned out to be Martin.

She had never won on the LPGA Tour in 63 previous attempts, and her first win made her a major champion.

“It’s still soaking in, along with champagne in my jacket,” Martin said, doused by other players when she returned from the range to collect her trophy. “This is just unbelievable. It’s literally a dream come true.”

She won with an eagle —

her first of the year, not unusual considering she is among the shortest hitters in women’s golf. She doesn’t get many chances. The timing for this one could not have been any better.

And she was never closer than within two shots of the leaders — until one shot changed everything.

“An absolutely perfect 3wood,” she said. “It’s definitely one to remember.”

Feng made eight straight pars — that constituted a charge on this difficult day — until a bogey on the 16th. A playoff still looked likely with two par 5s still to play. She missed a 15-foot birdie putt on the 17th, and hit into a bunker on the 18th and missed a 10-foot birdie putt.

She closed with a 75.

Hunter-Reay wins with late pass in Iowa NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Ryan Hunter-Reay blew past the field with two laps to go and won the IndyCar race at Iowa Speedway on Saturday for his first victory since the Indianapolis 500.

It was the fifth straight win in Iowa for Andretti Autosport, and the second in three years for Hunter-Reay.

Hunter-Reay hadn’t led a lap since Indianapolis, and he spent most of Saturday’s race far from contention. But he got new tires on a late pit stop and stormed past Tony Kanaan for his third victory in 2014.

Josef Newgarden finished second, followed by Target Chip Ganassi teammates Kanaan and Scott Dixon. Ed Carpenter was fifth.

Helio Castroneves finished eighth, taking sole possession of the series points lead.

Kanaan started on the front row with Dixon, the pole sitter, following promising qualifying sessions for a team that has struggled all year.

Down the stretch, the only question was which of the Ganassi drivers would break a season-long skid.

No one saw Hunter-Reay coming.

Hunter-Reay surprised the field following the night’s last caution, snapping a miserable six-race stretch for one of the top drivers in the series.

Once again, Team Penske walked away from Iowa’s .875-mile bull ring empty-handed.

Penske entered the weekend with

BABE RUTH From Page B1 He said the team used Sunday as an opportunity to work out some of its issues.

“We are just getting settled into what we we’re doing,” Jussila said. “I think we figured some stuff out.”

The 14-year-old squad’s strategy was simple: Campbell just wanted to throw as many pitchers as possible. He understood that — with Sunday being his team’s first in-game experience together

EDMOND, Okla. (AP) — Colin Montgomerie is getting used to winning these big events.

The Scotsman defeated Gene Sauers in a playoff to claim the U.S. Senior Open title Sunday at Oak Tree National.

Montgomerie failed to win in 71 PGA Tour majors and four Champions Tour majors until May, when he won the Senior PGA Championship. Now, he has won two of his past three majors to become just the fifth golfer to win both the Senior PGA Championship and U.S. Senior Open in the same year.

The 51-year-old said he has become more patient with age.

“You have to play intelligent golf, and I think I’ve matured enough to realize that and play more within myself sometimes, including today — to play away from some pins so you don’t make bogies, and you realize that in major golf, pars are usually good enough, especially in the USGA events,” he said.

Montgomerie reached another milestone by winning his first professional playoff in nine tries. Most famously, he lost to Ernie Els at the 1994 U.S. Open and to Steve Elkington in sudden death at the 1995 PGA Championship.

“I’ve been close in these USGA championships a couple of times,” he said. “I’ve lost in a playoff and been one shot behind a couple of times, and you have to wait to (over age) 50 to finally win one.”

On the 18th hole of regulation, Montgomerie parred, then waited. Sauers’ second shot landed about 10 feet from the hole, giving him a chance to win the tournament with a birdie. His putt lipped out, and he parred to force the playoff.

“I guess I just may have misread that putt the first time around, didn’t play enough break,” Sauers said.

“Hit a good putt, broke right at the hole at the last second.”

Montgomerie led at the end of the first and second days of the Senior Open, but entered Sunday’s action four shots behind Sauers. He shot a 2-under 69 to force the playoff and now feels he is capable of playing just as well

Hunter-Reay passed Kanaan and went on to win the race. three of the series’ top four drivers; Castroneves, Will Power and the surging Juan Pablo Montoya. But Penske had struck out in each of its previous seven trips to Iowa — and Power (ninth) and Montoya (19th) started from less than optimal positions.

Power finished 14th.

Montoya slammed into a wall after an incident with Ed Carpenter and failed to finish the race for the first time this season. IndyCar reviewed the sequence and took no action, but Carpenter apologized after dooming Montoya to a 16th-place finish.

The start of the race was moved up 30 minutes to avoid storms that peppered much of Iowa on Saturday

Messi threatened intermittently throughout the match, but was effectively smothered by the German defense. His free kick in the 120th minute went well high.

Messi, who scored four goals in the group stage but none in the knockout rounds, then had to trudge alone up the stairs of the Maracana Stadium to accept the Golden Ball award for the tournament’s best player, shaking hands with German Chancellor Angela Merkel along the way.

“At this moment I don’t care about this prize — only lifting the trophy matters,” great. They were sound all Messi said. “I’m hurt for losday and I’m proud of them for that, especially for being 13s.”

Takuma Sato and Russian rookie Mikhail Aleshin then got tangled up for the second time in three weeks. Both were checked, cleared and released from the infield care center.

Sebastian Bourdais’s night was ruined by an electrical issue midway through the race.

— it was key to find out where his talent works best.

“This is huge,” Campbell said. “We haven’t had any games until now. (We wanted) just to see how the kids react. They haven’t played together all year.”

Kody Clark was supposed to pitch the first game but jammed his finger, opening up an opportunity for lefty Jordan Mazzucchi.

Playing with a bunch of kids from different teams has been a little odd for Mazzucchi, but he’s been able to make the most of it.

“It’s somewhat weird,” Mazzucchi said. “The people you don’t now, like say people from Reedsport that come on the team, it’s kind of weird. But they play with North Bend and Coos Bay kids and we get to know each other more.”

The youngest team fared well for itself, but still found plenty to improve on.

The Associated Press

Colin Montgomerie waves to the crowd on the 18th green during the final round of the U.S. Senior Open on Sunday. on the PGA Tour.

“My golf is as good as it was in the ‘90s, when I was No. 2 in the world,” he said.

“It really is. I can’t see any difference between that.”

Montgomerie and Sauers entered the playoff at 5 under. Montgomerie entered the third extra hole with a one-shot lead, then sank a putt on 18 to par the hole and claim the win.

It was the first playoff at a U.S. Senior Open since 2002, when Don Pooley beat Tom Watson in a five-hole playoff.

This one was held in temperatures that exceeded 100 degrees. Sauers often used a towel to wipe his face and at times rolled it and placed it on the back of his neck.

Montgomerie’s face was red from the sun, and he carried a towel to the interview podium while still sweating well after he made his final putt.

“For my wife and three kids to be here is fantastic, and I’m just sorry for them,” Montgomerie said. “It was very hot for them to walk around. They had to walk 21 holes today. Eighteen is enough.”

David Frost and Woody making his Austin, Champions Tour debut, tied for third at 1 under. Jeff Sluman, Vijay Singh and Marco Dawson tied for fifth at even par.

Bernhard Langer, who was among the leaders for most of the tournament and entered the final day at 4 under, faltered on the back nine. He double bogeyed 16 and finished at 6 over for the day and 2 over for the tournament, tied for ninth.

ing the way we did. ... I think we deserved a little better, we had chances. As well as they controlled the ball, we still had the clearest chances.”

After Messi received his award, the German team made its way up the stairs for captain Philipp Lahm to raise the hallowed 18-carat gold trophy.

Until Goetze’s winning goal, the game was more notable for top-class defending than creative attacking, but both teams had their share of chances.

Gonzalo Higuain fired wide when gifted a chance in a one-on-one with goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, and later had a goal ruled out for offside. defender Germany Benedikt Hoewedes hit the post just before halftime with a header.

“It’s an accident. Those things happen,” NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said. “It could happen to anybody. It could happen with any competitor.”

Johnson, the six-time NASCAR champion, was knocked out of the race early after two rear left tire issues. The first time the tire was flat; the second time, the tire exploded and slammed the No. 48 Chevrolet into the fence. He finished 42nd.

Goodyear said the tires weren’t the problem.

“The tires failed in a manner consistent of low inflation pressure,” Greg Stucker, Goodyear’s director of racing, said.

Four fully functioning tires might not have helped catch Johnson even Keselowski.

“I think we have a lot of potential still left in our team,” he said.

TUESDAY, JULY 15, 2014 As your popularity increases, remember to give praise and thanks to those who have helped you along the way. The limelight will be yours, and a leadership position will come your way. Make the most of your ability to think quickly and find workable solutions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Good fortune is within reach, and opportunities will be offered to you. Take charge of your life, your future and your money. It’s up to you to control your destiny and find your way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — It’s a favorable time to move house or fix up your surroundings. Listen carefully to advice offered you, as well as to the concerns of those affected by your decisions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You will experience friction with a friend, relative or neighbor. If you stick to a set budget, you will be able to afford something you’ve wanted to do for some time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Successful relationships depend on honest communication. Share your personal and professional goals. Talk to your superior about your ideas for useful changes to your workplace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Consider other people’s points of view. Overdramatizing your problems will not help your situation or persuade others to see

things your way. Try to reach a compromise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You will become interested in something or someone that isn’t good for you. Don’t risk your position by being too aggressive or demanding. Think matters through.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Worrying about older family members will cause you stress.

Keep a positive attitude in order to put everyone around you at ease.

Do what you can to uncomplainingly make life more comfortable for others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t brag. You will be questioned if you pretend to know more than you do. Listening to others can help you gain valuable information, enabling you to appear interested, concerned and easy to talk to.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It’s time to focus on your career.

Trying to change the way others think or do things will be a waste of time. Do your own thing, and you’ll have no regrets.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Reach out to those with experience in your chosen field. You can turn your dreams into reality with the right network of people around you for support.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Success is the best revenge. Now is not the time to labor over what’s happened in the past. Stand tall and do what you do best, and you will have the last laugh.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Quench your thirst for knowledge by learning more about interesting subjects. Some time devoted to doing research at the library or on the Internet will be well-spent.

BRIDGE John Wesley, an 18th-century English preacher, said, “Once in seven years I burn all my sermons; for it is a shame if I cannot write better sermons now than I did seven years ago.”

Last week I mentioned the Rule of Seven. In a no-trump contract, when a defender leads a suit in which declarer has only one top-trick stopper (usually the ace), the Rule of Seven tells declarer how long to hold up that stopper. He subtracts from seven the total number of cards his side has in the suit and holds up for that number of

Bidding documents may be examined at Reedsport City Hall; 451 Winchester Ave; Reedsport, OR and the following locations: Bay Area Plan Exchange; Daily Journal of Commerce Plan Center; Douglas Plan Center; Eugene Builders Exchange; McGraw Hill Construction Plan Center; Medford Builders Exchange; and Oregon Association of Minority Entrepreneurs (OAME).

One copy of the Bidding documents, including specifications and drawings, may be obtained from the City of Reedsport.

A pre-bid conference will be held at Reedsport City Hall on July 23, 2014 at 2:00 p.m., PDT. Attendance is mandatory.

Bids will be received on a unit price basis for all of the work. No bid will be considered unless fully completed in the manner provided in the Instructions to Bidders, and accompanied by a bid security executed in favor of the Owner in the amount not less than 10% of the total amount of the bid.

rounds.

When declarer is only worried about the suit led, the Rule of Seven works fine. But it needs careful handling.

In this deal, how should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the spade two?

The Rule of Seven is primarily useful when the opponents have eight cards in their suit dividing 5-3. Declarer holds up his ace for two rounds (seven minus five is two), so that the defender with the long suit can cash his two remaining winners only if he has an entry.

What if their eight-card fit is breaking 4-4? Then there is no point in holding up, because declarer cannot break the opponents’ communication in the suit.

They will always get three tricks (unless declarer can immediately run for home).

In this deal, if South takes the first trick and drives out the diamond ace, he loses only one diamond and three spades. But if he ducks his spade ace at trick one, East might notice the interesting heart situation and shift to the heart king. Then South will lose one spade, three hearts and one diamond to end down one.
