AmeriCorps volunteer Adam Schaefers stops at Mingus Park on his rounds to deliver free food to children in Coos Bay.

COOS BAY — A month into its debut summer, the Coos Bay School District mobile lunch van is now feeding an average of 120 children each day during the week.

More kids could be getting free meals as the program goes into its second and third years thanks to a grant awarded this year by the Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon.

“This was a no-brainer for me,” Rose Walker said as she stopped by one of the mobile lunch sites

Free meals at fixed sites are still available in the Coos Bay School District.

Blossom Gulch Elementary and Madison Elementary serve meals 11:15 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday. The free lunch program runs through Aug. 16. Site times and locations are available at the schools and online at www.cbd9.net.

Lending a helping hand

A bucket brigade of bark mulch is passed up to Larry De-La-Crose, left, from Laurie Potts on Saturday at Mingus Park. They were part of a large group of volunteers helping the city of Coos Bay do projects in several sites in the city. The group of a couple hundred members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between Brookings and Florence gathered to do projects for the city. They work in a different city along the southern Oregon coast for a day each year.

State needs doctors for medical expansion SALEM (AP) — With 400,000 uninsured Oregonians expected to get health insurance in the coming years, the state and medical community are scrambling to make sure there are doctors, nurses and other health care providers available to treat them.

Many of Oregon’s rural and minority communities already are short of the recommended doctorpatient ratios — a problem that will only get worse when most Americans are required to have health coverage beginning Jan. 1.

With an eye on the coming tide of newly insured residents, state lawmakers this year approved scholarships and loan repayment programs designed to encourage medical school graduates to prac-

World hires new top editor COOS BAY — A Pulitzer Prizewinning reporter and former Associated Press bureau chief is taking the editorial helm of The World newspaper, the company announced today.

Larry Campbell of Anchorage, Alaska, will assume the role of executive editor at the paper Tuesday.

World Publisher Jeff Precourt said Campbell immediately stood out as a person of interest during an extensive search.

“Larry’s background as a journalist in Alaska Larry Campbell was very appealing to us,” Precourt said. “Many of the topics in southwestern Oregon — like the environment, native populations and government issues — translate well.”

Campbell began his journalism career in 1982 with the Anchorage Daily News after graduating from the University of Oregon.

While at the Daily News, Campbell became the first reporter on the scene of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. The same year, he was part of a team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for a 10-week series on alcoholism and addiction in Alaskan native communities.

From 2001 to 2009, Campbell served as the assistant bureau chief and Alaska bureau chief of the Associated Press. He’s also held editor positions at The Peninsula Clarion and First Alaskans Magazine.

“His career is filled with examples of blending high quality journalism with progressive strategies,” Precourt said. “When we combine his strengths with the talented core of journalists we already have, there is no telling how much our news team can achieve.”

The World is the only daily newspaper published on the Oregon South Coast. The paper has been owned by Lee Enterprises of Davenport, Iowa, since 2005.

COOS BAY — Next time you pass by the towboat mounted at the Coos Bay Boardwalk, you’ll see a bright new coat of paint on it.

You can thank Mormon Helping Hands for that.

On Saturday, the Latter-day Saints group hosted a service venture that had hundreds of volunteers clean up and offer services around Coos Bay, with the boat paint restoration as the headliner.

“It did not look nice without that coat of paint. That is my honest answer.

It looks a lot better,” volunteer Austin Philip Lee Davis said. “It’s a diamond in the rough.”

The group splintered off to work throughout Coos Bay, the boardwalk, Mingus Park, Empire and Eastside. Last year, Mormon Helping Hands visited Port Orford as it continues to assist South Coast cities.

The group allows Mormons everywhere to try and make a difference in their communities, lending a hand with

labor needs.

It’s an annual venture the church holds to correspond with Pioneer Day — Utah’s July 24 holiday to celebrate Brigham Young’s entry into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.

Volunteer Tim Lambson has been part of the community clean up effort for the past four years and thinks giving back is celebration enough.

“We celebrate by trying to do something for the cities,” Lambson said.“Service helps us to build relationships with other people, helps to make our cities look nicer and helps brings people together to do something productive.”

Sixteen-year-old volunteer Davis is a rookie of Helping Hands, but is a seasoned veteran of doing service projects around Coquille. He plans on doing Helping Hands next year and takes pride in the work he did Saturday.

“In my mind, as long as someone likes it, then it’s worth it.”

Keiser sees the area as gorse-covered and unuseable in its current state.

Opponents of the project say the area is filled with wildlife, plants and trees.

Keith Saylor, also of Bandon, said he appreciates the Bandon State Natural Area for what it is – untouched.

“There is a scarcity of that type of dunal system globally,” he said. “Lichen and plants grow there and are dependent on the marine environment that don’t grow other places, wildlife too.”

Claudine Hundhausen of Bandon, a city councilor who said she was speaking on her own behalf, said a more complete assessment needs to be done prior to any land trade. The burden of proof of whether the trade would

have overwhelming benefit is on the applicant, she added.

Mike Claassen, also a Bandon city councilor who said he was speaking personally, took a different stance.

“What a great benefit Bandon Dunes has been for our youth,” Claassen said, adding that he trusts the judgment of the OPRD commission.

“Bandon Dunes has had a light touch on the environment,” Claassen said after the meeting. “They have won awards for low pesticide use and they follow the contours of the land. It’s not a Las Vegas course with fake lakes.”

That type of support continued from many of the meeting’s participants.

Don Chance, who lives across from the proposed land exchange, said he supports the project and hopes Bandon Biota develops a series of trails for the public to enjoy the area.

“The gorse is taking over,” Chance said. “If we clear it out and work with the people at Bandon Dunes, I think we’ll have a win-win situation.”

Cam Perry, former Coos County commissioner, said any time gorse can be traded for anything, he’s happy.

“These people are wonderful stewards of the land,” Perry said. “They don’t bulldoze; it’s a gentle footprint and you just don’t see that with development.”

regarding development.

“Protect our undeveloped coastal area that belongs to all of us,” Waterman said.

Bandon State Natural Area, where the golf course would be built, is a 878-acre property about seven miles south of Bandon composed of dunes and seasonal wetlands. The property is plagued by gorse, an aggressive, noxious invasive plant.

Officials at the OPRD say they have spent $67,000 since 2011 to control gorse and restore native plants.

Under the proposal, 280 acres of that property between Bradley and Laurel lakes near U.S. Highway 101 south of Bandon would be traded to the corporation.

Bandon Biota intends to develop a 27-hole walkingonly golf course on the property that has been dubbed Bandon Links. In exchange, the company would pay at least $300,000 for gorse control on nearby state park properties, transfer two land parcels near Bandon adjacent to Bullards Beach State Park and the Coquille River totaling 208 acres into the state park system, and pay as much as $2.95 million to help purchase two other properties: Oceanfront property in Lincoln County known as Whale Cove, and 6,100 acres of forest, prairie and riparian bottomlands in Grant County in an area called Grouse Mountain for use as a future state park.

A decision on the trade is not expected until the commission’s September meeting.

Sticky fees may create a dry rub Our view Stifling economic development for a short-term gain isn’t the way to boost South Coast tourism.

What do you think?

The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

Reviving an economy long in the doldrums can be like fine barbeque: Adding a few ingredients here and there and having patience to see your work through can deliver amazing results.

The Winchester Bay Sanitary District correctly took that long view last week by opting to do more research on food cart vendors before walloping a successful business in the area with a fee to use the district system.

JT’s BBQ is a new food cart to the area this year, which started operating

after receiving approval from the Douglas County Health Department. John Teller’s small startup on the outskirts of Winchester Bay doesn’t have restrooms (or even seating), but it is stopping motorists along U.S. Highway 101.

The harm in charging Teller for using the sanitary system in the area is simple: He’s said he’ll pull up stakes and move elsewhere if that’s the case. Winchester Bay likely can’t afford to lose customers there, who may be spending elsewhere in the town as well.

While it is understandable that mobile vendors should face similar fees to brick and mortar counterparts, the table already has been set for Winchester Bay restaurants. Those businesses have established locations and customer bases for income. Food carts are much less stable.

Because the sanitary district had no say in Teller’s approval to sell food, it seems logical for the district to come in after the fact to assess fees.

However, tackling those fees several months after

Teller’s established his business as profitable is pulling the rug out.

If the sanitary district decides to charge food cart vendors for operating in the area, a good solution may be to grandfather in JT’s BBQ under its original operating terms or coming to an agreement for a reduced fee.

Charging a mobile vendor with no restrooms the same way restaurants are billed may unnecessarily impede business growth in the area – something that won’t leave a good taste in anyone’s mouth.

Our deepest motivations were spiritual I confess I’ve been doing some yelling at the TV. I keep hearing that we have to have a “national conversation on violence” in the wake of the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial. We’re having no such conversation, at least one that means anything, until we confront who we are as a nation today.

Earlier this summer in Florida, violence of a different sort was the topic, as legislation to protect children born alive during the course of a late-term abortion was debated.

A similar debate was recently held, among much public comment, over a bill that would protect fetuses 20 weeks or older. It’s barbaric that we’d consider this a mere matter of family planning, as a former Speaker of the House seemed to say in a recent interview. But that’s what happens after 40 years of legal abortion and the KATHRYN euphemisms that come LOPEZ with it.

Whether our media Columnist focus is on Zimmerman or Planned Parenthood, the furor that’s made manifest in protests and controversy is an avoidance of addressing fundamental questions of purpose and identity.

We see this, too, in the immigration debate. While much of the media coverage seems to be whether Florida Sen. Marco Rubio hurt or helped his presidential chances by pushing a bill through the Senate that may die in the House, the debate skirts the issues that we need to be confronting.

In a new book, “Immigration and the Next America,” Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez tries to further the assessment of the national conscience. On immigration, he says, “We can’t truly resolve the political issues of immigration unless we have some common agreement or shared understanding about our country’s identity and purpose.”

Politics, he adds, “is a conversation about how we ought to order our lives together.” At least, that’s what politics should be. But in order to have that conversation, we need to agree on basic terms. In order to know what we ought to do, we need to have some shared understanding of our past and the historical project of this great nation.

Gomez points to our lack of “moral consensus.” There used to be one: “America was ‘one nation under God,’ with an exceptional identity and responsibility among the family of nations. For most of our history, we were confident that American institutions should shape moral character and instill the civic virtues required for our democracy to function.Virtues such as religion and family; individual freedom and responsibility; the work ethic; the rule of law; equality of opportunity; honesty, fair play, and the common good; the sense of politics as public service.”

There’s plenty of rhetoric about fairness, tolerance, equality, transparency, and the common good, of course, but most of it tends to be at the service of ideological campaigns, often in contrast with those institutions we’ve relied on. In this reality, it’s largely impossible to have a productive conversation, period.

In reintroducing America to Americans, Gomez proposes looking not just at the Constitution and the Founding Fathers, who “understood that our democracy’s strength depends on our citizens’ freedom to live according to their faith,” but “the rest of the story of America’s founding.” It’s a story of “Christian mission” in the late 15th and 16th centuries, at “the heart and soul of the Age of Discovery.” In documenting “atrocities of conquerors in recent years,” for which we “should feel remorse,” Gomez writes, we’ve “lost a crucial thread to our national story,” that “the deepest motivations for America’s founding were religious and spiritual.” Only in remembering this, in understanding what undergirds America’s exceptionalism, can we make any progress. Our calls for conversations are pointless until pulverizing the opposition stops being the No. 1 priority. And there’s no reform without self-knowledge.

Public Forum Flashing signs and fines needed We agree with the recent letters concerning the bikes on the bridge. It is not only unsafe for the bicycles but for the drivers trying to swerve to get away from them. I am surprised there hasn’t been a head-on collision — as I and others are trying to avoid the bicyclists.

The signs need to flash, “Walk your bike.” Failing to do so could result in an accident and/or a fine.

Linda Dean North Bend

Failure to agree could cost lives What is wrong with our local leadership?

Because of the inability of North Bend’s City Council and the airport board to come to a contract agreement, North Bend is losing two paramedic/firefighters. Two families with five children joining the unemployed. This loss puts our citizens at risk with a diminished fire department.

I want to challenge this group

to put on their grown-up pants, get over their rivalry and do the job for which they are responsible. You got within $20,000 of an agreement ... how much is a life worth to you? Keep our citizens safe and provide proper safety for our community and airport users. We need our firefighters.

Fran Lindsay North Bend

Get involved, add to LNG comments Gas plants are inherently dangerous, and I would not want Jordan Cove Energy Project here even if we were not at risk for an earthquake. However, the reality is that we are at great risk and overdue for a really big earthquake and tsunami. Dr. Chris Goldfinger of OSU has said there is a 40 percent chance over the next 50 years that we will suffer this event. He is a geophysicist and geologist monitoring the Cascadia subduction zone. Next time you go to the mall, look across the bay to the spit and see how close you are to the location of this hazardous facility that they would build in our tsunami hazard zone. The airport and

runways will be on the other side of Virginia Avenue, in front of you, and it will not be hard to envision a disaster waiting to happen. Planes have gone down on the spit before. Next, turn around and look at all the schools, stores and the neighborhood filled with North Bend residents. In fact, you would need to consider who is within a 3-mile radius of that spot on the spit. How many lives are worth a few jobs and a boom and bust building phase? The truth is that we get the risk and Veresen of Canada gets the money. Sadly, they will even get to take private property to make their profits. It has been said this is the biggest in Oregon’s history of any such proposed project. Our environment is a treasure that we have tried to use wisely and that is the reason it is unprecedented. The environmental damage from the pipeline and terminal will be huge and forever.

Moving fossil fuel from one end to the other of this tired, hot planet should be a thing of the past, not how you plan for the future. I urge you to get involved.

The role of the ‘sole military adviser’ It’s not often that a testy exchange at a hearing, followed by a senator’s statement that he would put a hold on the nomination until he got an adequate answer to his question, opens a window to a fundamental issue in our democracy. And a timely one.

Two days after brokering a deal to avoid the senatorial “nuclear option” — an effort by the majority to strip the minority of their filibuster rights by agreeing to a compromise that in grade school might win you an extra few minutes of recess and in Washington leads to accolades of utter disbelief at such good will — Sen. John McCain announced that he intended to put a hold on the nomination of Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey to serve another two-year term. The reason was Dempsey’s refusal to answer McCain’s question — or rather, to give him the kind of answer he wanted.

The question was this: “Do you believe the continued costs

and risks of our inaction a supporter and an ally in Syria are now worse in Dempsey, a voice at for our national security the table advocating for interests than the costs and not merely explainand risks associated ing the military option. with limited military He is frustrated that action?” the most powerful miliThe answer was this: tary man in the United “I am in favor of build- SUSAN States is so careful, retiing a moderate opposicent, reluctant to throw ESTRICH tion and supporting it. his power around.

He committee the pros, cons and went to Syria and met with the costs. Said Levin: “If you’ll do rebel forces. McCain favors that, it may be a step that would stronger military action. He is be a constructive, positive step.” looking for (and maybe believes I expect he will do that. I he has, if he were to speak freely) expect this particular dispute

will be resolved.

But the fact that it could be a dispute at all is one of those minor miracles of democracy and the rule of law that is easy to forget in our collective disgust with the day-to-day operations of our government.

We live in a country where the most powerful military man actually (if you share McCain’s view) has to be encouraged to take a strong position on whether the nation should resort to a military option.

Name one other country in the world where that is a “problem.”

Meanwhile, a majority in the Senate was in fact able to craft a deal to address the problem of stalled nominees (for as long as two years), which should not have been a problem in the first place. But, hey, we are still talking about Washington, D.C., in 2013.

State and Nation Beach house is no picnic for this wife D E A R A B B Y : My husband retired and we thought we were fulfilling our lifetime dream when we moved to the beach, but our dream has turned into a nightmare.

Our family never wanted to visit us this often before.

When they come, no one even brings along so much as a bottle of water. My grocery bill has skyrocketed, and I’m sick of playing the role of cook and maid while they have a wonderful time.

I’m ready to move back to our hometown. At least there I had a life besides cooking and cleaning. My husband wants to DEAR live here because it’s his dream, but I can’t take another year of this. The workload is killing me.

I have been a fool JEANNE PHILLIPS for putting up with everyone having a carefree vacation at my expense. I’m so angry I’m ready to leave my husband with his dream. The last three years have been hell. When friends and family ask why I left, should I tell them, or keep my mouth shut and build a peaceful life by myself? — RUNNING FOR MY LIFE DEAR RUNNING: Leaving your husband is not the solution. Telling the individuals who are taking advantage of your hospitality that the rules have changed is. Set rules before guests arrive. If it’s not convenient for you to entertain, speak up and say so when the relatives call to say they’re coming. Make it clear that they will be doing their own laundry, buying their own groceries, etc.

And while you’re at it, understand that the reason this has gotten out of hand is partly your husband’s fault. He’s retired; he can lend a hand.

The Good Lord gave you the gift of speech. For the sake of your sanity and your marriage, I’m suggesting you use it.

DEAR ABBY: Seven years ago, I was in a relationship with a man I thought was my soul mate. (I’ll call him Louis.) We were together for two years and had planned on getting married right after college. Louis ended up breaking the engagement and six months later married another woman. I was shocked and heartbroken.

We went our separate ways.

Louis contacted me recently. He apologized for the past and said he was out of his mind for losing me.

He also said he was recently divorced and wants to see me to “catch up.”

I have healed from the heartache and moved on, but I am not currently in a relationship. I am content with my life. The problem is, my curiosity and my heart are tripping me up.

I’m wary of falling back in love with Louis and don’t want to reopen any old wounds.

What do you think, Abby? Should I meet him and see what happens, or let the past stay where it is? — OVER HIM? IN NEW YORK DEAR OVER HIM?: Louis may be a cad — or he may have become more mature in the last seven years.

Because you are curious, I think you should go. But if he starts wooing you again, do not get serious unless you have had couples counseling.

It’s important that you clearly understand what went wrong in your romance the first time so it doesn’t happen again.

Mayor: Ohio man to be charged after 3 bodies found

The Associated Press

Teams work diligently to create their temporary sculptures for the Sand in the City contest in Pioneer Courthouse Square, Friday in Portland.

House flippers flip fewer, do better SALEM (AP) — House flippers appear to be doing better this year in Oregon with fewer flips.

About 950 single-family homes were flipped in the first half of 2013, according to the latest data from RealtyTrac.

That means somebody bought those homes, perhaps fixed them up, and then sold them at a higher price within six months.

The number was down 47 percent from the first half of 2012, but the Salem Statesman Journal reports that last year home flippers were losing money.

This year, the average purchase price was about $187,000, and once sold, the houses brought in $37,000 more.

Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac, says the numbers suggest that flippers were adding value by making improvements in the houses, rather than just waiting for prices to rise.

Suspect returned to US had built life in Canada PORTLAND (AP) — An Oregon woman who spent more than a decade in hiding after a fatal crash built a life with her two children while living illegally in Canada.

The Oregonian reports

STATE D I G E S T Jean Keating was living in a rural Manitoba town of about 2,500 people about 300 miles north of Grand Forks, N.D. She is accused of firstdegree manslaughter in connection with the 1997 death of 65-year-old Jewel Anderson.

Police say Keating, then 38, sideswiped Anderson’s car on Interstate 5 near Albany, sending it careening through the center lane and into another car. Anderson died at the scene.

Keating fled while awaiting trial, taking her children, then ages 1 and 3, to Canada.

Portland CityHall readies eviction of protest PORTLAND (AP) — A campout protest at Portland’s City Hall began after the 2011 disbursement of the Occupy Portland encampment just blocks away. Now, Portland Mayor Charlie Hales says the protest has to go.

KGW-TV reports there have been 113 calls to the block around City Hall during the last six months.

Hales says he will change the zoning around City Hall to a high-use pedestrian zone which they said makes

it illegal to camp.

Protesters say they are rallying against a system that leaves the homeless nowhere to go.

Springfield man badly hurt in paraglider crash SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say a Springfield man was seriously injured when the paraglider he was operating lost power after taking off and crashed to the ground at Santiam Pass.

The Eugene RegisterGuard reports that 55-yearold James M. Carter had just lifted off and was at tree level about 100 feet up Sunday morning when he lost power and crashed near a state transportation compound.

St. Charles Medical Center in Bend reported him in critical condition this morning.

EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man will be charged with aggravated murder after three bodies wrapped in trash bags were found in suburban Cleveland, the mayor said today.

East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton said a call to police led authorities to a home and a standoff with the man, who was eventually taken into custody. The mayor has said the suspect indicated he might have been influenced by the earlier case of Cleveland serial killer convicted in the deaths of 11 women.

Norton announced today that 35-year-old Michael Madison will be charged with three counts of aggravated murder.

Police and volunteers scoured about 40 empty homes Sunday until their search was suspended,with no immediate plans to resume.

Authorities said they had identified only one of the victims, Angela Deskins, who was believed to be 38 years old. The other two bodies were too badly decomposed to identify. The medical examiner also said he couldn’t determine a cause of death because of the bodies’ conditions.

The first body was found

in a garage Friday. Two others were found Saturday — one in a backyard and the other in the basement of a vacant house. The bodies, all women, were found about 100 to 200 yards apart, and authorities say the victims were killed in the previous six to 10 days.

Each body was wrapped in a plastic bag in the fetal position. “It didn’t look like a person could actually fit in the bag,” said East Cleveland Police Chief Ralph Spotts.

Police and volunteers scoured about 40 empty homes Sunday for more evidence until their search was suspended, with no immediate plans to resume, Spotts said. Norton said today that no bodies were found, but Spotts stressed that the investigation remained open.

It’s the third recent highprofile case in the Cleveland area that involves missing women.

In May, three women who separately vanished about a decade ago were found captive in a run-down house.

Ariel Castro, a former school bus driver, has been charged with nearly 1,000 counts of kidnap, rape and other crimes and has pleaded not guilty.

2 rescued from Cannon Beach coast cliff CANNON BEACH, Ore. (AP) — Two people stuck on a cliff near Cannon Beach have been rescued.

The Daily Astorian reports a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew hoisted one of the women off the cliff Sunday afternoon.

No serious injuries were reported.

This 2010 photo shows Jeffrey Uno, right, and his father, Peter Uno, the son and husband of Noriko Uno, seen in framed photo, who died in an alleged “sudden unintended acceleration” crash in a Toyota Camry in August 2009, after a news conference in Los Angeles.

Toyota sudden acceleration trial Oregon Court of Appeals expands starts today in Calif.

warrantless vehicle searches PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon Court of Appeals has broadened the reach of warrantless vehicle searches, adding to a controversial area of state law that has expanded police powers considerably since it was first taken up in the 1980s.

The court ruled this week that everything connected to a car, including a trailer, is available to a warrantless search. In doing so, it sided with prosecutors who had appealed a trial court’s decision to invalidate a search.

The state law that gave police the power to search cars suspected of criminal involvement is rooted in a 1986 case that said police must first pull over a vehicle in order to search it without a warrant. That was later challenged and updated: Police had only to see the vehicle moving, or “encounter” it, to later search it.

The appeals court ruling this week stemmed from a drug bust in Silverton in 2011, when a detective watched Jerry E. Finlay sell methamphetamine to a police informant. Finlay drove to the meeting in a pickup truck towing a trailer, which he used to run his landscaping business.

In a second meeting later that year, the detective watched Finlay park at a restaurant. Finlay walked inside but quickly decided to leave and was arrested 100 feet from his truck. Police searched Finlay and found no drugs, but the detective ordered a search of the car and trailer, where police found methamphetamine.

At trial, Finlay’s attorneys successfully suppressed the

evidence obtained from the warrantless search, saying police didn’t “encounter” Finlay’s truck until they arrested him, when the truck was parked. Therefore, neither his truck nor his trailer was subject to search. The appeals court remanded the case back to the trial court, with the understanding that the evidence can be introduced at trial.

The Oregon Supreme Court has ruled that parked cars are not mobile and therefore require warrants to search.

Advocates of warrantless searches say they are among the most useful tools available to police. By their nature, roadside stops or investigations of movable vehicles require immediate action from law enforcement. To let people drive away is essentially leaving suspects alone with a crime scene, free to destroy evidence.

National case law on vehicle searches dates back to the dawn of the massproduced automobile, when a bootlegger ferrying liquor across Michigan was stopped and his car searched without a warrant.

In the 1925 case, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling: Given probable cause, police did not require a warrant to search a vehicle.

Opponents of the expansion of the automobile exception say the Oregon courts have repeatedly allowed prosecutors and police to broaden their rationale for searching vehicles.

The situation, critics say, has allowed for a “permanent emergency,” in which police and prosecutors can summon any reason for searching a car, and courts will later nearly always rule that the warrantless search was justified.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Noriko Uno was afraid of driving fast, often avoiding the freeway and taking the same route every day from her Upland home to and from her family’s sushi restaurant.

She had put only 10,000 miles on her 2006 Camry in about four years.

So when her car unexpectedly accelerated to speeds up to 100 mph on a street with a posted limit of 30, the 66-year-old bookkeeper did everything she could to slow down, stepping on the brake pedal and pulling the emergency brake handle as she swerved to avoid other vehicles.

Uno was killed when her car went onto a median and struck a telephone pole and a tree.

Hers is the first so-called “bellwether” case to go to trial that could determine

whether Toyota Motor Corp. should be held liable for sudden unintended acceleration in its vehicles — a claim made by motorists that plagued the Japanese automaker and led to lawsuits, settlements and recalls of millions of its cars and SUVs. Toyota has said there was no defect in Uno’s Camry.

The automaker has blamed such crashes on accelerators that got stuck, floor mats that trapped the gas pedal and driver error. The company has settled some wrongful death cases and agreed to pay more than $1 billion to resolve lawsuits where owners said the value of their vehicles plummeted after Toyota’s recalls because of suddenacceleration concerns.

The Uno trial, starting with jury selection today, is expected to last two months.

Nation and World Royal baby is on the way LONDON (AP) — Prince William’s wife, Kate, is in the early stages of labor in a private wing of a central London hospital, palace officials said today.

It is a historic moment for the British monarchy — the couple’s first child will become third in line for the British throne, after Prince Charles and William, and should eventually become king or queen.

William and Kate entered St. Mary’s Hospital in central London through a side door early this morning, avoiding the world’s media. Palace officials confirmed her arrival about 90 minutes later.

Brazil anticipates Pope Francis’ return RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Pope Francis lands today in a Brazil electric with anticipation for the pontiff’s first international trip, heading into the open arms of his home continent where mammoth crowds are expected to celebrate Mass on Rio’s Copacabana beach.

The pope is coming to meet with legions of young Roman Catholics converging on Rio for the church’s World Youth Day festival, believers whose behavior so far hasn’t been typical of the normal tourists in this seaside Sin City known for hedonistic excess.

More than 1 million people are expected to pack the white sands of Copacabana to celebrate Mass with Francis. He also will visit a tiny chapel in a trash-strewn slum, and grassroots Catholics love that he plans a

CINCINNATI (AP) — With the survival of a species on the line, Cincinnati Zoo scientists are hoping to mate their lone female Sumatran rhino with her little brother.

The desperation breeding effort with the rhino siblings follows a recent crisis summit in Singapore where conservationists concluded as few as 100 of the two-horned, hairy rhinos might remain in their native southeast Asia. The species numbers have fallen by up to 90 percent since the mid-1980s as development takes away habitat space and poachers hunt them for their prized horns.

The Cincinnati Zoo has been a pioneer in captive breeding of the rhino species, producing the first three born in captivity in modern times.

Its conservationists this month brought back the youngest, 6-year-old Harapan, from the Los Angeles Zoo and soon will try to have him mate with the zoo’s female — his biological sister — 8-year-old Suci.

“We absolutely need more calves for the population as a whole; we have to produce as many as we can as quickly as we can,” said Terri Roth, who heads the zoo’s Center for Research of Endangered Wildlife.

Unsettled Weather Continues For East

LUNCH Mobile sites are working Continued from Page A1 year they were going down to two fixed locations, but they were starting this brand new mobile program.”

Walker is the manager for child hunger prevention with Hunger-Free Oregon.

“Across the state, and even across the nation, we have seen that these mobile sites really work,” she said.

“Coos Bay has 12 new locations, which is fantastic.”

The group awarded a grant to the school district to help purchase carts to safely transport hot and cold food items.

Diane Follansbee has been heading-up the effort for the school district. She says the goal is to get free meals to the kids, from ages 1 to 18, during the summer months.

Spreading the word can be the biggest challenge for starting summer lunch programs.

Follansbee and Walker helped round up kids at the Mingus Park playground Thursday, many of whom didn’t know they could get a free meal.

EXPANSION Rural areas need doctors Continued from Page A1 tice in underserved areas instead of the flashier urban centers. State officials also hope Oregon’s effort to improve coordination and preventive care will make it easier for the existing providers to handle more patients.

But there will still be growing pains.

“It’s going to be difficult to go from where we are to where we want to be overnight,” said Bruce Goldberg, director of the Oregon Health Authority, the state agency that administers Medicaid.

Some patients will probably have trouble getting speedy access to see a doctor, he said, but the state has taken steps to minimize the

Pentagon chief can’t offer hope in budget cuts

Rena Mahy is one parent who didn’t know about the program. The mother of three recently moved to the area and was excited to hear about the availability of healthy meals during the week. “I think it’s great. It makes sense and is better than fast food.”

“First years are really, really hard,” Walker said. “Diane has done a fantastic job with outreach and getting the word out, but it still takes time to sort of build that momentum and to let families adjust to knowing that this is here for my kids.”

Walker says one draw is that the meals are USDA-certified nutritious, but it also doesn’t hurt they’re free.

“It’s a great way to supplement a family’s budget during the summer when a school meal is not available,” she said. “It is one of the most vulnerable times for kids who may be on the edge of food insecurity.”

BASE JOINT CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The audience gasped in surprise and gave a few low whistles as Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel delivered the news that furloughs, which have forced a 20 percent pay cut on most of the military’s civilian workforce, probably will continue next year, and it might get worse.

“Those are the facts of life,” Hagel told about 300 Defense Department employees, most of them middleaged civilians, last week at an Air Force reception hall on a military base in Charleston.

Future layoffs also are possible for the department’s civilian workforce of more than 800,000 employees, Hagel said, if Congress fails to stem the cuts in the next budget year, which starts Oct. 1.

On the heels of the department’s first furlough day, and in three days of visits with members of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, Hagel played the unenviable role of messenger to a frus-

disruption.

“We’ll be ready,” he said.

“I don’t think we’ll be as ready as we want to be, but it’s a pretty great opportunity to change all these life circumstances for everybody and make them healthy.”

About 1 in 6 Oregonians, 550,000 people, are uninsured, according to state data from February.

State officials project that 120,000 people will become eligible for Medicaid on Jan. 1 under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. Another 160,000 are expected to buy health insurance through Cover Oregon, a health insurance marketplace where individuals and small businesses can compare plans and access federal subsidies if they’re eligible.

By 2016, the state projects the number of uninsured will drop to 170,000. All those newly insured people will enter a health care system that’s already struggling to

keep pace with demand for primary care, particularly in rural areas.

Oregon on the whole may have enough physicians to meet current demand, “but we have a terrible distribution problem,” said Mark Richardson, dean of the Oregon Health and Science University’s medical school.

Doctors are heavily concentrated in the Interstate 5 corridor, he said, and some areas that are considered adequate now may experience a shortfall when people currently without insurance start going to the doctor.

“We need more primary care practitioners in Oregon, but we need them to be in the right place,” Richardson said.

Multnomah County has 19 percent of the state’s population but 35 percent of its doctors and nurse practitioners, 32 percent of nurses, 38 percent of psychologists and 41 percent of licensed social workers, according to

a report this year by the Office for Oregon Health Policy and Research.

Counties along the northern border and south-central Oregon had the highest physician-to-population ratios. In some cases they were five times larger than the statewide ratio.

Even as retiring baby boomers and the coming wave of newly insured patients increase demand for health care, the number of providers is falling.

Between 2010 and 2012, the number of primary care physicians practicing in Oregon dropped by 320, nearly 8 percent, and the number of physician assistants dropped 2 percent, according to the state report.

There were 189 more primary care nurse practitioners, a 20 percent increase, but not enough to keep pace with the loss of physicians and physician assistants.

The number of dentists also declined 9 percent, and

Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon traces its roots to 1989 and the creation of the Oregon Hunger Task Force, established by the state Legislature.

According to the group’s website, the 28-seat task force serves as an advocate for the hungry, studies hunger, makes recommendations, and helps local communities implement changes.

The private nonprofit organization was created later by members of the task force.

Rose Walker, manager with Hunger-Free Oregon, says the group is a “tiny organization doing a lot of work.” Therefore, even self-education is a worthwhile donation to the program.

“Becoming more aware is something you are doing to help us fight hunger,” Walker said. “The more people that can be aware of what is going on in our state, the greater chance we have of gaining successes with these projects.”

The first step is as simple as logging onto the Hunger-Free Oregon website at oregonhunger.org and clicking on the “Take Action” button to become a partner. Hunger-Free Oregon emails a newsletter every other week to inform partners of the group’s efforts.

Walker says that the bottom line is you can make a difference without having to donate any money to the cause. Although, she added while flashing a bright smile, “We won’t send it back to you if you do donate.”

trated and fearful workforce coping with the inevitability of a spending squeeze at the end of more than a decade of constant and costly war.

The fiscal crunch also lays bare the politically unpopular, if perhaps necessary, need to bring runaway military costs in line with most of the rest of the American public that has struggled economically for years.

“Everybody’s bracing for the impact,” Army Master Sgt. Trey Corrales said after Hagel spoke with soldiers during a quick stop at Fort Bragg, N.C. Corrales’ wife, a military civilian employee, is among those furloughed, and they have cancelled their cable TV and started carpooling to work to save money.

“The effects of the economy have started to hit the military,” Corrales said. “It was late in coming to us.”

The furloughs have hit about 650,000 civilian employees but also have slowed health care and other services for the uniformed military, which has stopped some training missions and

faces equipment shortages due to the budget shortfalls.

Troops were told this month they will no longer receive extra pay for deployments to 18 former global hot spots no longer considered danger zones.

Troops already are facing force reductions, and the Army alone has announced plans to trim its ranks by 80,000 over five years.

Officials agree that the military has undergone cycles of expanding and shrinking of the force over generations.

Hagel said this time is different, and worse, however, because of what he described as a “very dark cloud” of uncertainty hanging over the Pentagon as Congress considers whether to reverse $52 billion in spending cuts that are set to go into effect in 2014.

At the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Fla., Hagel told an estimated 100 civilians gathered in a bustling jet maintenance hangar that the military had not been prepared for the $37 billion in cuts that took effect this year, forcing the furloughs.

three northeastern counties had no dentists — Giliam, Morrow and Sherman.

Even so, state officials insist Oregon is better prepared for the challenge than most states. A 2011 report by the Association of American Medical Colleges says Oregon had 93 primary care physicians per 100,000 residents, 10th best in the nation.

Oregon has a strong network of low-income clinics known as federally qualified health centers and has been investing in incentives to convince medical professionals to practice in rural areas, Goldberg said.

Also, Oregon has experience with rapidly expanding the health care population, having absorbed thousands of new patients when it created the Oregon Health Plan and loosened eligibility requirements in 1994. Goldberg, who was a family physician then, said the medical community is better

prepared this time around.

The Legislature this year voted to expand funding for several scholarship and loan repayment programs for health care providers who practice in underserved areas — an effort to diminish the gap between the lifestyle of a rural primary care doctor and a classmate who pursues a lucrative specialty in Portland.

Oregon’s effort to change the way the state pays for Medicaid will also help, officials said. It’s supposed to allow more flexibility for primary care providers so they don’t have to schedule an office visit just to get paid.

“Not every patient needs to see a physician, or even a nurse practitioner or PA, every time they go to their health office,” said state Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, D-Portland, an OHSU family physician who’s pushed for expanding incentives for primary care providers in underserved areas.

Americans advance in Gold Cup BALTIMORE (AP) — The passes were sharp, the defense sound and the goals plentiful.

The United States couldn’t have played much better, and the timing could not have been more perfect.

Clarence Goodson and Joe Corona scored during an eightminute span of the first half, and the U.S. cruised past El Salvador 51 Sunday to advance to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Eddie Johnson, Landon Donovan and Mix Diskerud added second-half goals for the Americans, who will play Honduras in Arlington, Texas, on Wednesday night.

Honduras beat Costa Rica 1-0 on Sunday night as part of a doubleheader before a sellout crowd at the home stadium of the Baltimore Ravens.

Assists aren’t an official statistic in the Gold Cup, but Donovan set up three scores in a dazzling performance.

“I think Landon proved again today how valuable he is and how he can make a difference,” coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “This game was important for coaches to see who is a difference maker.

Overall, we see our team clicking more and playing better and better.”

To say the least.

The U.S. has won nine straight full internationals — a record for the country’s national team. The Americans have also prevailed in seven of their last eight Gold Cup matches, the exception being a 4-2 loss to Mexico in 2011 final.

“We are trying to catch up with the big teams in the world,” Klinsmann said. “It’s all about speed. I’m not talking about physical speed. I’m talking about mental speed, passing speed with every player going both ways. That’s what we’re working to. This is a process and I think that process is coming along.”

Rodolfo Zelaya scored for El Salvador, 1-19-7 overall against the U.S. “Collectively, they’re a very good team,” El Salvador coach Agustin Castillo said through a translator. “They almost play by memory. They can find the spaces.

It almost seems like every time they pass the ball into a space it’s going to nobody, then somebody appears and actually meets the ball. Good work, good movement.”

North Coos drops two THE WORLD North Coos struggled with scorching heat while dropping both games of an American Legion baseball doubleheader at Medford against Cascade Christian on Sunday.

North Coos fell 9-4 in the opener and then lost 12-11 in the nightcap after rallying from an 8-3 deficit by scoring seven runs in the sixth inning.

The thermometer reached 101 degrees during the doubleheader.

North Coos also was without some of its younger players, who were in the Southern Oregon State Babe Ruth Tournament at Klamath Falls.

The Waterfront managed just four hits in the opener, and scored all its runs in the third inning.

Tyler Campbell, Drew James, Jonathan Bennison and Zach Inskeep each had one hit. Inskeep drove in two runs with his single.

Kyle Ferguson had two triples and drove in two runs for Cascade Christian.

In the second game, Inskeep had three hits and drove in two runs for North Coos. Campbell, Bennison and Hunter Jackson each had two hits and James hit a triple.

North Coos took an 11-10 lead in the top of the seventh inning, but couldn’t hold on for the win.

Kellen Rohr went 3-for-3 and drove in two runs for Cascade Christian.

North Coos finishes its season with a doubleheader at South Eugene on Tuesday.

Phil Mickelson celebrates after his final putt on the 18th green during the British Open at Muirfield on Sunday. Mickelson birdied the hole to finish his round of 66.

Mickelson masters Muirfield GULLANE, Scotland (AP) — Phil Mickelson wondered if he’d ever win this venerable trophy, the one he proudly posed with on Muirfield’s 18th hole as photographers snapped away and fans chanted his name.

Raised on the lush, manicured courses of America, Lefty crafted a game that required one to look toward the sky. Booming drives.

Soaring iron shots. Chips and wedges that floated, then spun improbably to a stop.

Beautiful to watch — except when Mickelson was trying to win the claret jug.

Links golf is played along the ground, a version of the game he fretted about ever mastering.

“It took me a while to figure it out,” Mickelson said late Sunday, another step closer to a career Grand Slam. “It’s been the last eight or nine years I’ve started to play it more effectively. But even then, it’s so different than what I grew up playing. I always wondered if I would develop the skills needed to win this championship.”

No need to fret about that anymore. He’s the British Open champion.

He did it with the greatest round of his life.

Heck, it was one of the greatest closing rounds by anyone in major championship history.

While crusty Muirfield took out the other contenders — Down goes Tiger Woods! Down goes Lee Westwood! Down goes Adam Scott! — Mickelson blazed to the finish with a 5-under 66, match-

Phil Mickelson holds the Claret Jug trophy and poses with his family after winning the British Open on Sunday. ing the lowest score of the week in the pressure cooker of a final round.

Most impressively, he saved his best shots for the end, making birdies on four of the last six holes.

The only challenge left was not to celebrate while eight of his rivals were still out on the course.

When Mickelson hit two exquisite 3-woods at the par-5 17th, the ball rolling onto the green

for what he knew would be, at worst, a two-putt birdie, the championship was his to lose. Not that he hasn’t pulled defeat from the jaws of victory before — most infamously in the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot. So there is still a bit of trepidation among the Philnatics when he strolled to the 18th tee.

This time, he was right on the mark.

He drilled a hybrid down the middle, then ripped a 6-iron perilously close to the edge of the left bunker, the ball kicking right just as he intended. It rolled to a stop 10 feet behind the flag, and he rolled in the last of his birdies even though he didn’t need it.

Mickelson thrust his arms in the air and let out a yell. His caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay, began sobbing. Just off the green, his wife Amy and their three children waited to dole out some hugs.

“He works real hard and he wants it,” Mackay said, explaining why the tears came so easily. “He really, really wants it.”

Mickelson is 43 years old now, closer to the end of his career than the beginning, but he still has a passion for the game and a desire to tie up some of the loose ends. This was one of them, something to add to his three Masters wins and a PGA Championship. Only 13 golfers have won more major titles; only five of those have won all four legs of the Grand Slam.

Froome celebrates title in 100th Tour de France PARIS (AP) — I won’t let you down like Lance Armstrong. This Tour de France champion is for real.

That, in so many words, is the promise Chris Froome made as the newest winner of cycling’s showcase race so badly hurt over the years by riders who doped to win it.

Because of their deceit, Froome faced a series of questions as he dominated rivals over three weeks of racing, all centered on the same key concern: Can we believe in you?

Yes, he insisted. The sport is changing, he argued. He handled the scrutiny politely and adroitly. He said he understood the skepticism.

And on the podium in Paris, his wiry frame wrapped in his canary yellow jersey, Froome asked the guardians of the 110-year-old race and all those who love it to trust him.

“This is one yellow jersey that will stand the test of time,” he said.

In two years, Britain has had two winners: Bradley Wiggins in 2012 and now Froome, a cooler, calmer, more understated but no less determined character than his Sky teammate with famous sideburns.

Froome rode into Paris in style: Riders pedaled up to him to offer congratulations; he sipped from a flute of champagne; a Tour organizer stuck an arm from his car window to shake Froome’s hand. He dedicated his victory to his late mother, Jane, who died in 2008.

“Without her encouragement to follow my dreams I would probably be at home watching on TV,” he said.

Froome took the race lead on Stage 8 in the Pyrenees, never relinquished it and vigorously fended off rivals whose concerted challenges turned this 100th Tour into a thriller. Froome and his Sky teammates linked arms as they rode for the line.

“This is a beautiful country with the finest annual sporting event on the planet. To win the 100th edition is an honor beyond any I’ve dreamed,” he said.

Five-time winners Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain joined Froome on

Tour de France winner Chris Froome celebrates on the podium in Paris after the final stage of the race Sunday. the podium. Missing, of course, was Armstrong. Stripping the serial doper of his seven wins tore a hole in the Tour’s roll of honor as large as that left by World War II, when the race didn’t take place from 1940-46.

None of the 100th edition’s podium finishers — Froome, Nairo Quintana and Joaquim Rodriguez — have ever failed a drug test or been directly implicated in any of cycling’s litany of doping scandals. That is an encouraging and notable departure both from the Armstrong era and many other Tour podiums before and since.

“In a way, I’m glad that I’ve had to face those questions. That after all the revelations last year and just the tarnished history over the last decade, all that’s been channeled toward me now,” Froome said. “I feel I’ve been able to deal with it reasonably well throughout this Tour,

and hopefully that’s sent a strong message to the cycling world that the sport has changed — and it really has.”

“The peloton’s standing together, the riders are united and it’s not going to be accepted anymore.”

The spectacular nighttime ceremonies, with the Eiffel Tower in glittering lights and the Arc de Triomphe used as a screen for a flashing lightshow, capped what has been a visually stunning Tour.

It started with a first-ever swing through Corsica, France’s so-called “island of beauty,” before veering through the Pyrenees to Brittany and then across France to the race’s crescendo in the Alps — 2,115 grueling miles in total.

BASEBALL Seattle pitcher pulls himself from no-hitter HOUSTON — Astros manager Bo Porter defended Erik Bedard’s decision to remove himself from Saturday night’s game against Seattle with a nohitter in the seventh inning because of a high pitch count and said he wouldn’t have let the left-hander stay in much longer.

Bedard, who has had three shoulder surgeries, chose to leave the game after working 6 1-3 innings because he had thrown 109 pitches. Porter said before Sunday’s game against Seattle that he would have pulled Bedard at 120 pitches. He said he trusts that the 34-year-old Bedard knows his body and how far he can push himself.

Bedard was replaced by Jose Cisnero, who gave up a two-run double to Michael Saunders, Seattle’s only hit in a 4-2 win over the Astros.

A-Rod’s return to Yankees will be delayed by strain BOSTON — New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez isn’t ready to rejoin the team any time soon.

The team said in a statement issued Sunday night that Rodriguez has a Grade 1 strain of his left quadriceps muscle and won’t be able to return this week in Texas, as had been planned.

Instead, Rodriguez will return to Tampa, Fla., “for rest and rehabilitation.” The three-time AL MVP will remain on the disabled list.

The team said it may petition Major League Baseball for an additional rehab assignment because of the new injury.

Rodriguez had said he was hoping to return for Tuesday night’s game against the Rangers.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Gators suspend player following second arrest GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison has been suspended for at least the first two games of the regular season after being arrested for the second time in five weeks.

Morrison was arrested early Sunday for barking at a police dog and resisting arrest. Both charges are misdemeanors. Later Sunday, Gators coach Will Muschamp announced that Morrison would be held out of the opener against Toledo (Aug. 31) and the road game the next week against Miami.

Morrison played in 13 games as a freshman and is expected to have a bigger role this season. The sophomore also was arrested June 16 for allegedly punching a bouncer. He received deferred prosecution on a simple battery charge and was ordered to stay out of

OPEN From Page B1 The last one eluding Mickelson is the U.S. Open, a championship where he’s been the runner-up six times — most recently last month at Merion.

“He’s resilient,” Mackay said. “He looks forward.”

Most certainly, Mickelson hasn’t given up on adding that other Open to his resume. No matter what, he’ll go down as one of golf’s greatest players.

Mickelson began the final round at Muirfield with a lot of ground to make up. He trailed Westwood by five shots, the 40-year-old

WASHINGTON — Matt Kemp GOLF returned to the lineup with a home run Playoff win makes Austin and a double in the same inning Sunday, eighth-oldest champion and the Los Angeles Dodgers completed MADISON, Miss. — Woody Austin won the Sanderson Farms Classic for his first PGA Tour victory since 2007, beating Cameron Beckman and Daniel Summerhays with an 8-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff.

The 49-year-old Austin is the eighth-oldest winner in PGA Tour history and the oldest since Fred Funk at 50 in 2007. Austin was making his fourth PGA Tour start of the year. He has four career victories.

Austin came into the final round two shots behind Summerhays and Nicholas Thompson, but made up ground with a 5-under 67 to finish at 20-under 268.

Recardi edges Creamer to take LPGA tourney SYLVANIA, Ohio — Spain’s Beatriz Recari outdueled Paula Creamer in a head-to-head battle to win the Marathon Classic for her second LPGA Tour victory of the year and third overall.

The 26-year-old Recari closed with a 5-under 66 to finish at 17-under 267. She missed a 6-foot birdie putt on the 17th, but made a clutch 5-footer for par at the 18th. Creamer finished with a 67. The American is winless since the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open.

Activated from the 15-day disabled list before the game, Kemp led off the second with a homer and then doubled home Andre Ethier in a seven-run inning against Jordan Zimmermann (125), quickly turning a much-anticipated matchup of All-Star aces into a rout.

Clayton Kershaw (9-6) allowed only two hits — solo homers by Jayson Werth — over seven innings with nine strikeouts and no walks, putting his major league-best ERA at 2.01.

The Dodgers have won 20 of 25. This game marked the first time all season that Kemp, Hanley Ramirez and Carl Crawford were all in the lineup together.

But it might be a few days before it happens again because Kemp hurt his left ankle sliding into home plate on a force play in the ninth.

Miami has gone a club-record 37 innings without a run, the longest drought by a major league team in 28 years. The Houston Astros were held scoreless for 42 consecutive innings in July 1985, according to STATS.

Logano wins Nationwide Series race THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STATELINE, Nev. — Billy Joe Tolliver won the American Century Championship for the fourth time, beating fellow former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien with a par on the third hole of a playoff Sunday.

They finished regulation at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course tied at 67 in the modified Stableford format that awards graduated points for pars or better.

On the par-5 18th hole in the playoff, they had matching pars and birdies on the first two extra holes. Tolliver then took advantage of Rypien’s pitch shot into the water, winning with a twoputt par from 25 feet.

Former pitcher Mark Mulder was third with 66 points, and Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry tied for fourth with former NFL quarterback Chris Chandler at 64.

JOLIET, Ill. — When “The Captain” asked, Joey Logano answered.

Did he ever.

Logano held off Sam Hornish Jr. to win the NASCAR Nationwide race at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday, leading a sweep of top two spots for Roger Penske after the owner asked him to drive the No. 22 car on a rare weekend off for the Sprint Cup series.

“Really big for us to get a 1-2 finish for Penske. That’s awesome,” Logano said. “To come out here, our goal is to win this thing. That’s why I came out here on my off week, it was to come out here and win.”

Penske, nicknamed “The Captain,” approached Logano this month during the NASCAR stop at Daytona and asked if he would drive in the first of two Nationwide races at Chicagoland this season.

Penske wanted a boost in the

race for the owners’ championship, and Logano sure delivered on the request.

“How do you say no to R. P.?” Logano said, grinning.

“I’m glad I did it.”

Logano, the lone Sprint Cup regular in the race, earned his second Nationwide win of the year and No. 20 for his career. He also won at Dover in June. Hornish held on for second and moved into the top spot in the series standings, seven points better than Regan Smith.

Austin Dillon led two times for a total of 24 laps and finished third to earn a $100,000 bonus. Dillon is third on the points list, but is still looking for his first victory of the year.

“We just keep inching on this first win,” he said.

“We’re getting closer and closer. These top-threes, we’ll take them all day, we just want to get that win here pretty soon.”

Elliott Sadler had the lead on a restart with 24 laps

Englishman never in a better position to pick up his first major. Woods was two shots behind, eager to end the longest major drought of his career. Masters champion Scott was also in the mix, as well as Hunter Mahan.

Westwood managed only one birdie all day, his strong putting touch finally undone by a bunch of errant shots.

Woods was happy with the way he hit the ball, but never figured out Muirfield’s slick greens, which he insisted got slower as the week went on.

Scott held the outright lead on the back nine for the second Open in a row, but was doomed again by four straight bogeys.

But this didn’t feel like

Lytham, where Scott threw away an almost-certain victory on the last four holes and eventual winner Ernie Els was almost apologetic.

Mickelson earned this title.

He described it as “probably the best round of my career,” complete with “some of the best shots that I’ve ever hit,” and threw in that he “certainly putted better than I’ve ever putted.”

Not a bad combination.

Playing five groups from the end, Mickelson crept into contention on the front side as those ahead of him began to falter. He had a couple of two-putt birdies on the par 5s, made par on everything else, and went to the back side even for the tournament

— a score he felt might be good enough to win.

A bogey at the 10th, where Mickelson hit his second shot into a bunker and couldn’t get up-and-down, briefly halted his momentum. But the best shots were still to come.

At the par-3 13th, Mickelson knocked a 5-iron to 8 feet and rolled in the putt. At the next hole, a 9iron curled up 18 feet from the flag and he made that. A par save at the 16th — after the tee shot rolled back off the front of the green — was crucial. When Mickelson went to the tee box at the 17th, he was tied for the lead.

By the time he got to the green, 40 feet away after two swings of the 3-wood, the

inning in his return from the All-Star game, and Baltimore beat Texas to sweep a three-game series between 2012 playoff teams.

Tigers 4, Royals 1: Miguel Cabrera and Andy Dirks homered as the Tigers beat the Royals to avoid being swept.

Indians 7, Twins 1: Justin Masterson took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning, Michael Brantley hit a bases-loaded triple and the Indians beat the Twins to avoid a three-game sweep.

Masterson (11-7) had faced the minimum through six, allowing only a hit batter, when Brian Dozier led off the seventh with a broken-bat blooper to center field that dunked in under the glove of a sliding Drew Stubbs for a double.

Rays 4, Blue Jays 3: Luke Scott and Kelly Johnson hit back-to-back home runs, Evan Longoria also went deep and the Rays survived a late scare to beat the Blue Jays, completing a three-game sweep.

Mariners 12, Astros 5: Nick Franklin hit his first career grand slam in Seattle’s big second inning to back up a scoreless start by Felix Hernandez, and the Mariners rolled past the Astros for their season-best sixth straight victory.

Hernandez (11-4) scattered four hits with seven strikeouts over six innings to lower his AL-leading ERA to 2.43. He is 6-0 in his last 10 starts and hasn’t lost since May 25. The Mariners completed a three-game sweep.

remaining. But the defending race winner faded as Hornish moved in front on the track where he won consecutive IndyCar races in 2002 and 2003.

Hornish looked in position to secure the victory when Logano roared into the lead and went on to the win.

“I’m glad it wasn’t three or four more laps longer, because he was catching us,” Logano said.

Sadler finished fourth, and was followed by Brian Vickers, Parker Kligerman and Trevor Bayne. Illinois native Justin Allgaier, Brad Sweet and Matt Crafton rounded out the top 10.

Johnson tops Pro Stock field in Colorado again MORRISON, Colo. — Defending Pro Stock champion Allen Johnson won the Mile-High NHRA Nationals for the fifth time Sunday, holding off Colorado native V. Gaines in the final round.

Johnson raced to his

lead was all his.

Mickelson lagged his putt right up next to the hole and tapped in for another birdie.

The lead was two shots.

By the time he rolled in that last birdie, the engraver was already etching Mickelson’s name on the claret jug, even though the last four groups still had to finish.

The only possible challenger, Westwood, needed an eagle at the 17th just to have a chance. But he was done when his second shot sailed off into knee-high rough.

By then, Mickelson was accepting hugs and signing autographs. He’d already signed his card for a 3-under 281 — the only player to finish below par.

fourth victory of the year with a 6.989-second run at 196.87 mph in a Dodge Avenger.

Spencer Massey won the Top Fuel division, Cruz Pedregon topped the Funny Car field, and Shawn Gann won in Pro Stock Motorcycle.

Massey raced to his third victory of the season and 13th of his career, beating Bob Vandergriff in the final.

Graf, Luhr team up to win Le Mans Series race BOWMANVILLE, Ontario — Klaus Graf and Lucas Luhr won the American Le Mans Series race at Canadian T ire Motorsport Park on Sunday, and Marino Franchitti and Scott Tucker topped the P2 prototype class.

Franchitti, the younger brother of three-time Indianapolis 500 champion Dario Franchitti, teamed with Tucker to edge Scott Sharp and Guy Cosmo, giving Level 5 Motorsports its fourth victory of the season.

Henrik Stenson shot 70 and took the runner-up award at 284. Ian Poulter shot an early 67 and thought he might have a chance at 285. Instead, he wound up tied with Scott (72) and Westwood (75).

Woods was among those another shot back after a 74, his major drought still intact.

Sports TOUR Team Sky has second champ From Page B1 Because of the unique late-afternoon start for the final Stage 21, the riders raced on the cobbles of the Champs-Elysees as the sun cast golden hues over the peloton and shadows lengthened over the dense, cheering crowds. Marcel Kittel won the final sprint on the avenue, the German sprinter’s fourth stage win

of this Tour.

French Air Force jets in fo r m a t i o n t ra i l e d re d , white and blue smoke in the skies. The riders circled like a necklace around the Arc de Triomphe in their bright colored team jerseys.

After setting off from the magnificent Versailles Palace, the former residence of three kings and their seat of power until the French revolution of 1789, the riders were granted the privilege of meandering through the chateau’s manicured gardens, past lakes like mirrors, spurting fountains and stat-

ues looking on stonily.

Before the pace picked up sharply on the ChampsElysees, Sunday’s 82-mile ride was largely leisurely. The 169 finishers — from 198 who started — savored the pleasure of surviving the threeweek ordeal.

Quintana, the 23-yearold Colombian who secured second place behind Froome with an impressive win on Saturday’s penultimate Stage 20, laughed as third-placed Rodriguez tried to spark up a cigar in the saddle.

Froome’s clear physical superiority made him the overwhelming favorite going

into the Tour and carried him through it.

His winning margin of 4 minutes, 20 seconds was the largest since 1997, when Jan Ullrich — who has since admitted to doping — beat Richard Virenque — who also confessed to using performance-enhancers — by 9:09.

Armstrong had larger margins of victory than Froome but those no longer count.

Froome’s three stage victories — in the Pyrenees, on Mont Ventoux in Provence and in a mountainous time trial — were the most for a Tour winner since Armstrong

got five in 2004, results now annulled.

Sky team manager Dave Brailsford said the Tour is seeing “a new generation” of young riders who “ have never lived in an era of doping.”

Cycling’s future “is in good hands with Chris, because he is an exceptional rider and an exceptional character.”

Unlike some other riders who cut short questions about doping and bristled, Froome said he was happy during the Tour to discuss the issue that has so poisoned his sport. He said he, too, felt

let down by his cheating predecessors.

Froome argued that his success demonstrates that cycling’s anti-doping system — now among the most rigorous, invasive and sustained of any sport — must be working, because otherwise he wouldn’t be able to win.

At 28, Froome is entering his peak years as a bike racer.

His prowess on climbs and in time trials gives him the essential ingredients to win more Tours. At Sky, he’s backed by one of the bestfunded, organized and smartest teams.

What do you need to be happy?

I n a Un ive rs i ty o f Michigan survey, interviewers asked people what t h ey b e l i eve d wo u l d improve t h e i r EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE qo fu a lliifet y.

T h e answer g i v e n m o s t o f t e n w a s “more money.”

In the Mary b o o k “ T h e Hunt D a y America Told the Truth,” surveyors asked, “If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?” The No. 1 response at 64 percent was “greater wealth.”

We k n ow f ro m o t h e r studies that fewe r A m e r i ca n s a re “ ve ry happy” today than in the 1950s, despite having far more money, bigger homes and more stuff. By 1950, 3,000 shopping malls dotted this country, a number t h a t g rew to 45,02 5 by 2000. Greater affluence has not translated to greater happiness.

Are there any circumstances under which more money will bring happiness? Of course, if you are living in poverty, having more money will make a huge positive different in your quality of life, and yes, you will be happier. But if your basic material needs a re m e t , h av i n g m o re money might be nice, but it's not likely to make you happier.

T h e p ro b l e m i s t h a t money mystifies us. We can’t live with it, yet we can’t live without it. We wa n t m o re o f i t , eve n though spending more of it won’t necessarily make us a ny h a p p i e r a n d o f te n makes our lives more difficult.

I believe the answer to this predicament is found in u n d e rs ta n d i n g h u m a n nature. Each of us has three distinct parts, each with its own distinct need for fulfillment: emotional, spiritual and physical.

To ignore any one of these or to attempt to satisfy them inappropriately is to live a life that is confused, needy and forever in search of fulfillment.

E M O T I ON A L . Research shows that happiness and co n te n t m e n t i n l i fe i s strongly affected by the quality of our relationships, especially marital and family relationships.

Based on 10 years of research, the authors of “The Case for Marriage” co n c l u d e d t h a t a l l t h e money in the world cannot take the place of meaningful, personal relationships.

SPIRITUAL. Every person is created with what some have characterized as a “God-shaped hole” in our hearts that only he can fill.

If you are attempting to fill your spiritual needs with human relationships or with money, you will be left feeling empty, unsatisfied a n d u n f u l f i l l e d . T h ose things will never “fit,” so you will be left with a gaping void that cries out to be filled.

P H Y S I C A L . Just as we are emotional and spiritual beings, we also have physical needs. This is where money comes in — to fulfill our needs for shelter, food and comfort. I’m the first to admit that I thoroughly enjoy working hard to earn a living and I enjoy spending money like most anybody else. Wealth is good.

Financial security is cruc i a l . We s h o u l d n o t b e opposed to work or money.

Money has its place in our lives and, when used responsibly, can certainly bring a great deal of satisfaction. That kind of satisfaction is much deeper than simple happiness, which comes and goes dependent on how much money we have at any given time. It is the joy and contentment t h a t co m e s f ro m u s i n g money in a personally fulfilling manner.

That is what wealth is meant to be.
