Coquille schools in overhaul overdrive

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

By Alysha Beck, The World

A demolition crew from Benny Hempstead Excavating Inc. guts the inside of the former Lincoln Elementary School building in Coquille on Monday. The Coquille School District is planning to build a playground on the site next to Coquille Valley Elementary School, which will house grades 1-6.

COQUILLE — Coquille’s three schools are getting spiffed up as the district and families prepare for new grade configurations this fall.

By the time it’s done, the Coquille School District will have undergone a $3.5 million makeover. The largest chunk of that, $2.18 million, will reroof all three schools.

On Thursday, the smell of tar wafted through Lincoln School of Early Learning’s hallways as crews repaired its roof. Coquille JuniorSenior High and Coquille Valley Elementary’s roofs will be repaired next summer.

This expensive overhaul is thanks to a Qualified Zone Academy Bond that will fund everything except for $150,000 to replace 26-year-old buses (the district will pull funds from maintenance to cover the bill). The district will get 70 percent reimbursement from the state, said

Superintendent Tim Sweeney.

Acquiring the bond was a relief, he said, since its low interest rate means the district will have to pay back less than $400,000 in interest over the bond’s life. In comparison, when the district went out for a $3.5 million bond 14 years ago, interest would have totaled $2.4 million.

There will be several repairs districtwide: ■ All three parking lots will be repaved ($300,000).

■ New textbooks ($60,000).

■ Fencing upgrades ($48,000).

■ New student furniture ($30,000).

■ New signage ($20,000).

“We’re scrambling,” Sweeney said, “but the vast majority will be ready to go by the time school starts (Sept. 2).”

and 20 Head Start kids will walk through Lincoln’s doors this fall.

Head Start is moving in to the building’s basement. It requires several updates, but they’re footing the bill: creating a bathroom out of a former custodial closet, expanding the kitchen and turning the library into a classroom.

The upstairs hallway will house a combined computer lab and library room, three kindergarten rooms, one preschool room, two early intervention rooms, and two Head Start rooms.

Walking out Lincoln’s doors, Sweeney points toward the baseball field, where fences are bowing and the backstop is in shambles. A new $5,000 backstop is on its way, and the field’s fences will be replaced.

“They’re a tetanus shot and a lawsuit waiting to happen,” he said.

The playground will be fenced in (a Head Start requirement) and

WASHINGTON — Bleeding from both legs and his arm, Ryan Pitts kept firing at about 200 Taliban fighters, even holding onto his grenades an extra moment to ensure the enemy couldn’t heave them back. On Monday, President Barack Obama draped the Medal of Honor around his neck, in a somber White House ceremony that also

paid tribute to his nine platoon comrades who died that summer day in Afghanistan.

Pitts, a 28-year-old former Army staff sergeant from Nashua, New Hampshire, is the ninth living veteran of America’s wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to receive the nation’s highest decoration for battlefield valor. Obama praised Pitts for holding the line as his comrades fell in one of the bloodiest battles of the Afghan war.

“It is remarkable that we have young men and women serving in our military who, day in and day out, perform with so much integrity, so much humility and so much courage,” the president said.

“Ryan represents the very best of that tradition.”

Pitts’ mission that day in June 2008 was supposed to be his last before returning home from his second tour of Afghanistan. After all, Pitts and his team had been in the

COOS BAY — The three points that make up the crown jewel of the annual Oregon Coast Music Festival are set to shine this week in Coos Bay. The 36th edition of the festival winds down with classical music concerts at Marshfield on Tuesday and Saturday night, and a Pops concert Thursday.

Ron Metzger, an Oregon Coast Music Association board member, says it is a remarkable week that showcases world class musicians creating beautiful music in a brief amount of time together.

The musicians get three days to rehearse for each of the orchestra nights, and just one day for the Pops concert.

“We’ve got our 80-piece professional orchestra, (with members) coming from 13 or 14 states, as well as a Canadian province,” Metzger said. “These musicians come to town and they perform only in Coos County. It’s a one-shot thing. You can’t go over to Eugene, go over to Seattle, San Francisco — if you want to see it, you’ve got to see it here. And Pops always amazes me, they do one rehearsal and then put it on the stage Thursday night and they are always amazing.”

They come to play for two world-class conductors, James Paul and Jason Klein, but also for the opportunity to perform in a very unique setting.

Marshfield Auditorium, site of all three concerts, is known to many musicians around the world. Really.

Metzger says he has been told by some musicians that they rank Marshfield as one of the 10 best concert halls in the country.

“As far as the sound goes, it just is an amazing acoustic place,” he said.

Tuesday’s concert, with Paul conducting, kicks the week off with a bow to the Bard. “Salute to Shakespeare” features ‘A London Symphony’ by Ralph Vaughan Williams, described as “one of the most characteristically British of all classical composers.”

The concert, as with the other two, starts at 7:30 p.m.

“Murder, Mayhem and Mystery” is the title of this year’s Pops concert, conducted by Klein. It includes the Lemony Snicket offering, ‘The Composer is Dead.’

The Festival wraps-up with Paul conducting an evening titled “The Russians Are Coming,” with

Opinion theworldlink.com/news/opinion

We’re on our own now with CEP Our view Gubernatorial candidates won’t block the Community Enhancement Plan — so it’s squarely on our shoulders now.

What do you think?

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

One issue became clear in the gubernatorial debate last Friday in Salem between Gov. John Kitzhaber and his prime challenger, state Rep. Dennis Richardson.

Whoever wins, our region’s Community Enhancement Plan won’t face challenge from the governor’s office.

That means we’re on our own, and it makes the task of pulling together a successful plan all the more vital.

The plan proposed earlier this year is meant to distribute public revenues from the proposed Jordan Cove Energy Project’s liquefied natural gas plant, to be constructed on Coos Bay’s north spit. Under the plan, the company would agree to

begin making contributions immediately when construction begins, in exchange for a 19-year-long tax exemption.

One nonprofit corporation, the South Coast Community Foundation, has already been formed to accept part of those contributions to distribute to local schools and endow an ongoing fund. According to the plan’s architects, contributions given to a nonprofit will not count as tax revenues to the local school districts, which would otherwise trigger a reduction in school funding from the state.

From the beginning, state intervention, especially with the novel school funding portion, has been a concern

— until last week’s debate.

To be sure, neither Kitzhaber nor Richardson weren’t enthusiastic about the plan. Both were fully aware that it is an attempt to sidestep the state school funding formula. And yet, both candidates said that, as governor, they’d wait and watch, and see what happens.

For the moment, that leaves the door open for any other county to follow our lead. Should a major manufacturer decide, say, that Josephine County is a perfect place to build a multi-million dollar facility, residents there might well like to shield the resulting revenues in similar fashion.

That means every county in Oregon, especially the rural counties struggling with too-little revenues, will be watching us with increased anticipation.

Should the final plan work to our benefit, you can bet that other counties will be looking to replicate it.

Impacts on state revenues?

Too bad: it worked in Coos County, it can work in other counties.

Should the final plan fall apart? We’ll look inept, and we doubt that the state will be so hands off should some other counties start down the same path.

For all our sakes, we shouldn’t mess this up.

Obama suit is summer rerun On television, summer reruns are becoming a thing of the past. Noting a jump in demand for fresh entertainment in the hot months, TV execs are responding with original programming.

In Washington, however, suing Obamacare gets played over and over and over again, whatever the heat index. These summer reruns don’t get much audience,but that hasn’t deterred the House Republicans.

This is their latest attempt — they’ve tried more than 40 times — to wreck the Affordable Care Act. This suit revolves around the president’s decision to delay the employer mandate.

That show wasn’t so hot the first time around.

The employer mandate requires medium and large employers to provide health coverage to their workers or pay a penalty. It was to go in effect Jan. 1, but the administration extended the deadline to give companies more time to get with the program.

The complaint, as stated by House Speaker John Boehner, is that President Obama changed the health care law without a vote by Congress.Obama was illegally “waiving the employer mandate and the penalties for failing to comply with it.”

FROMA You’ve got to give him HARROP credit for twisting the plot.

It happens that House Columnist Republicans last year themselves voted to delay the employer mandate and,by extension,penalties for failing to comply with it.

Call it “Blue Is the New Red” — or should that be the other way around?

You’d think our elected officials would have the decency to not waste legal resources — taxpayer dollars, actually — suing over an action they’ve supported. Obviously, this is a case not of picking and choosing objections to Obamacare but of hurling lawyers at it with a water cannon. Whatever happened to summer vacations?

As the story of Obamacare develops, the townspeople originally hostile to the health reforms are warming up to the newcomer.

Hardly a week goes by without another fear about his getting shot down by reality.

For example, average premium costs are not spiking; they’re rising more slowly than before the law. Healthy young people are not refusing to obtain coverage; they’re signing up. Meanwhile, the great majority of the newly insured say they are happy with their coverage.

Now it appears that federal spending on health programs is growing more slowly than earlier predicted, and cost savings written into Obamacare are part of the reason. We’re talking $1.23 trillion in lower expected spending for the 10 years starting in 2010,the amount supplied by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

So polls show a national audience increasingly content — and given the mud thrown at it, pleasantly surprised — with Obamacare.

Republicans won’t seriously dismantle the reforms, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make a show of hammering at the law.

Call it “Bad Breaking.”

To be fair and balanced, let it be noted that respectable legal scholars stand on both sides of the debate over the delayed mandate.

Some say Obama exceeded his authority.

Others say he just did it to implement a program that Congress approved, which is part of his job description.

The broadcasters and cable channels are hollering for new material because their audiences want it, and audiences feed their bottom line. Members of Congress don’t have to care about audience interest, because they get paid anyway, by the public.

Hence the reruns of the Obamacare demolition derby in which Obamacare never really gets hurt, and people don’t really watch. Not very entertaining.

Letters to the Editor LNG means trouble unending The Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas facility proposed for the North Spit would have profound impacts on our bay.

The Waterway Suitability Report for the Jordan Cove Energy Project on the Internet, issued July 1, 2008, by F. G. Myer, captain, U.S. Coast Guard, federal maritime security coordinator, indicates that LNG tankers with a maximum size of 950 feet in length, 150 feet wide, and a loaded draft of 40 feet would be “permitted to transit through the Port of Coos Bay ... .” These behemoths stretch longer than three football fields.

The Jordan Cove website states that these tankers would enter the bay and travel for approximately 90 minutes from the “K” buoy, 2 miles outside the bay, to the Jordan Cove dock at a speed of 5 knots. All small craft would be asked to move out of the channel for “approximately five minutes” before resuming their activities. But given the necessary Coast Guard presence required for the LNG tankers, the accompanying three tug boats, and the 500-foot “safety/security zone” surrounding the tanker as it proceeds to the dock, the time of five minutes seems a gross underestimate.

This website does not address the issues of the huge wakes and washes these vessels create, or their effects upon water craft, the shoreline and its wildlife habitats.

According to the Jordan Cove website, the tankers would load

in “less than 24 hours.” Loading these tankers with liquefied natural gas is a complicated process involving, among other actions, the burning off of excess gas in huge flare stacks. When ignited, these flares emit carbon dioxide, methane and other polluting, dangerous gasses into our atmosphere.

The Jordan Cove website envisions LNG ships entering and leaving the bay perhaps every three or four days with the attendant disruption and pollution.

The size of the ships and their effects upon both our bay and the non-LNG bay users, the flares and their effects upon the men, women, children, pets and wildlife of our area, and the polluting of our natural environment require thoughtful inquiry and consideration. In the long run, would we really benefit from a fossil fuel, polluting facility owned and operated by the “for profit” Canadian company Veresen, the parent company of Jordan Cove? Wouldn’t most people prefer a home or holiday in a different seaside community from one with a huge LNG complex dominating its bay? We would.

make the most. What the rest of us incur as a result of this “grand economic opportunity” is of little concern to those who are in the driver’s seat.

The supporters of this energy function sells the product via the holy word “jobs,” regardless of the tenuous nature of that outcome. In a letter to The World signed by two local state legislators, they gave examples of major corporations’ positive affect on Oregon communities.

The only ones named, however, were Google and Intel, hardly the type of industries that carry such dire, dangerous threats to a local area.

Recently, a writer said if a tsunami came, he would take his wife and children directly to the Jordan Cove facility, as it will be able to withstand such a disaster (as did Japan’s nuclear plant).

The writer neglected to identify he is the owner of one of the local large businesses hoping to score when the construction crews hit town.

And, so it goes. Now we have the diverted funds from the tax roles being divided up by the appointed (aka “anointed”) few political-entity leaders serving as the SCCF board. Interesting that before the at-large seats have been filled, that board forges ahead on how to placate the public with the ante of “school funds.” That money may ultimately be deducted from the state’s level of school support.

The recent audit examination report of the General Motors Corp. debacle coined a term so very applicable in this Jordan Cove situation; “The GM nod,” wherein the various decision-

making boards accede to the preordained outcome. Way to go, port, county commissioners and city councils. Don’t hurt your necks doing the “GM nod.”

Fracking not worth the risk Before any decision is made to approve a fracked gas export facility, the Department of Energy (DOE) should put the health and safety of our communities before the interests of companies looking to profit from fracked gas exports. This means DOE needs to look at the bigger picture — from the impacts of fracked wells to transport through pipelines across the country, to building giant export terminals along our coasts.

Send your letter today, and tell DOE we must know the environmental impacts to our communities, air, water, climate and coasts before any decision can be made on fracked gas export facilities.

State Younger couples weigh in on how they handle money DEAR READERS: On April 11, I printed a letter from “Wondering in Washington,” a man asking why young men in general today have the attitude that “any money I earn is mine” in a marriage or live-in situation. He said when he married, he and his wife considered what they earned to be “theirs” — not his or hers.

When I asked my “younger readers” to chime in, I was inundated. Some excerpts: D E A R ABBY: My DEAR husband was 26 and I was 24 when we got married. To me, how young couples h a n d l e money says a lot about their attiJEANNE tude toward PHILLIPS marriage.

M y m o t h e r always said, “If you can’t trust a man with your money, why would you trust him with your heart?” I kept that in mind when I was dating, so when my boyfriend and I married, we didn’t have serious underlying issues like addiction, compulsive spending, etc. — MOM OF 2 IN SEATTLE DEAR ABBY: My first husband controlled all the money, my pay and his. He bought what HE wanted, but didn’t always pay the mortgage or utilities.

In my second marriage, my money is my money and his money is his. If I earn 60 percent of the income, I pay 60 percent of the shared bills.

Whatever is left is up to my own discretion to spend, and the same goes for his paycheck. — LEARNED MY LESSON IN FLORIDA DEAR ABBY: I’m a man in my mid-30s; my wife is in her mid-20s. Many of our friends keep their finances separate, and the reason usually involves hearing their parents argue over money. What I find interesting is that the wife usually came up with the idea.

I believe the separation of incomes starts with young women embracing messages of empowerment they heard growing up and applying them not only to the workplace, but home, as well — plus a healthy dose of entitlement that seems common to their generation. — JUST SAYING, IN WISCONSIN DEAR ABBY: Male reader here. Gone are the days of the stay-at-home wife who takes care of the house and raises the children. I’m as guilty of those preconceptions as anyone.

I thought marriage meant being totally devoted to your spouse and you discussed everything.

I now believe both parties in a relationship have financial responsibilities to the other. In my first marriage, the majority of financial responsibilities fell on me.

The financial obligations in my second marriage are different. We have a separate maintenance agreement. I pay only part of our living expenses. I can spend whatever I want, when I want, on whatever I want. This has prevented many disagreements.

I think the way to handle finances in a relationship is a rock-solid legal agreement and a lot of premarital counseling. Then there are no surprises. — J.G. IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: I’m 32, recently married. I earn more than my husband, and I’m better at managing money.

We plan to set up a joint account for household expenses, joint vacations, etc., and maintain individual accounts for whatever money is left.

That way, we have a certain amount of independence and freedom.

We don’t consider our relationship to be disposable. But when you grow up like we did and don’t marry until your 30s, you live a considerable amount of your life independently. We are happy with this arrangement. — MODERN MARRIAGE IN MICHIGAN

Cry for help leads hitchhiker to crash

The Associated Press

Fawns are fed from bottles on racks to reduce human interaction with the animals at a deer rehabilitation site at the Greenspings in southern Oregon on Friday. Rehabilitation centers train deer to have a helathy fear of humans so they can be successfully returned to the wild.

Fawns taken from wild get tough love to survive MEDFORD (AP) — This is the time of year when some people end up loving deer to death.

Earlier this month, a baby buck was scooped out of the woods near Hyatt Lake by a Medford man who took it home, fed it goat’s milk and habituated it to people before an Oregon State Police trooper eventually confiscated it. Though the man probably meant well, his actions tamed the deer, making it nearly impossible for the animal to survive when returned to the wild.

The Mail Tribune newspaper reports that in the Rogue Valley of southern Oregon, these deer end up with Jody Raines, the region’s only deer rehabilitator. It’s her job to make real deer of Bambified animals — with a healthy diet, a healthy immune system and a

healthy fear of humans.

“When they’re here, they get no human handling,” said Raines, of Selma. “We need to make them as untamed as possible when we release them. Tame deer die.”

Last month the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife logged eight cases in which residents picked up deer they found around their homes, mistakenly believing these animals were abandoned.

What the residents failed to realize is that it’s common practice for does to leave fawns to go off and forage for hours at a time, then to return and feed their offspring, says Steve Niemela, an Oregon wildlife biologist.

“People often perceive them as abandoned, but 99 percent of the time they’re not,” Niemela says.

Those who handle fawns

are told to return them to the spot where they were found.

In other cases, those discovering a deer will call Niemela, who tells them simply to leave the deer alone.

Raines has a dozen fawns in her care. If past success rates are a guide, then only six will survive at least a month after being reintroduced to the wild.

“It’s simply not optimum to have them come into care,” she said.

While cases of people taking fawns from the wild has dropped over the past two decades, there are still more than enough who mistakenly believe a lone fawn is abandoned, interject themselves into the ways of the wild and turn their caring heart into a death knell.

“I blame Disney,” Raines said. “A lot.”

Vandals smear cars with baked goods HILLSBORO (AP) — There’s mischief afoot in one suburban Portland neighborhood, but police say it doesn’t involve the typical spray paint or broken windows. No, we’re talking pastry here — maple bars smeared on cars, doughnuts left atop windshield wipers, pastries littering a yard.

One woman told officers she’s seen more than a dozen

incidents of food smeared on cars. Not just pastry, but yogurt, cakes and eggs. She alerted police July 11.

The next day, another woman told police her vehicle had been hit six times — twice with a maple bar, once with a cinnamon doughnut, once with pink yogurt, once with “bread soaked in a white slimy liquid” and once with red potato salad.

The crime wave in a northeast Hillsboro neighborhood has been going on for six weeks, The Oregonian reported Monday.

Police think the victims of the night-time vandalism are chosen at random and kids are likely behind it.

Lt. Mike Rouches says officers are investigating and extra patrols have been added.

PORTLAND (AP) — A man trying to hitch a ride north of Cannon Beach, found a fatal traffic crash instead.

Oregon State Police say the hitchhiker was walking along Highway 101 Sunday night when he heard a cry for help and saw the wrecked vehicle about 40 feet down an embankment.

Inside the vehicle were an injured driver and her deceased passenger.

Lt. Gregg Hastings says the vehicle appears to have crashed at least 12 hours before the hitchhiker arrived on the scene.

He identified the deceased passenger as 23year-old Ruth Delgado of Los Angeles. The injured driver, 21-year-old Gabriela Rayon of Vancouver, Washington, was in fair condition Monday at a Portland hospital.

Hastings says the fourdoor Chevrolet was traveling southbound when it went off the road.

Wolves kill calf in northeastern Oregon PENDLETON (AP) — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says wolves killed a domestic calf on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.

The carcass was found last week in the Cougar Creek area, about 30 miles north of Enterprise. The East Oregonian newspaper reports wolf activity had been reported in that remote part of the forest, but never confirmed until now.

ODFW believes at least two or three wolves were present when the calf was killed. Biologists will try to collar one of the wolves to learn more about the group’s behavior, including information on territory, breeding and pups.

Algae toxins spur health advisory OAKRIDGE (AP) — A high level of blue-green algae has triggered a health advisory for Odell Lake in Klamath County.

Health The Oregon Authority said Monday that swallowing or inhaling water droplets from the lake can make people sick, and children are at increased risk because of their size.

The toxins can’t be removed by boiling, filtering or treating the water with camping-style filters.

Boating is OK as long as speeds do not create excessive water spray.

The lake is located off Highway 58, about 31 miles southeast of Oakridge.

Battery fumes send workers to hospitals

HILLSBORO (AP) — Firefighters in Hillsboro, say 18 workers needed medical treatment after breathing battery fumes.

Pot dispensary operator appeals state decision ASHLAND (AP) — The owner of an Ashland medical marijuana dispensary is appealing a state decision that closed his business.

The state denied Mike Welch a dispensary license because Oregon law requires dispensaries to be located at least 1,000 feet from a school, and Puff’s Smoke Shop in 990 feet from one.

Welch told the Mail Tribune newspaper he has an appeal hearing on July 29 in Salem.

Welch says Puff’s might be less than 1,000 feet from the school as the crow flies, but kids would have to scale rooftops to get there in less than 1,000 feet.

NW Wildlife refuges phasing out pesticide PORTLAND (AP) — Federal wildlife refuges in the Northwest and Hawaii are phasing out pesticides similar to nicotine because they pose a threat to bees and other pollinators.

Kim Trust, deputy regional director of refuges for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said Monday the agency pest management policy calls for methods posing the least risk to wildlife, and there is scientific evidence that neonicotinoids kill bees and other pollinators.

The region covering Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Hawaii is the first in the agency to ban neonicotinoids. They will be phased out by January 2016.

Neonicotinoids are commonly applied as a coating on seeds such as corn planted on refuges both as a commercial crop and to benefit wildlife.

Neonicotinoids sprayed on trees recently at a Eugene apartment complex killed a thousand bees.

Jail work crew inmate escapes, is recaptured BEND (AP) — The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office says an inmate who escaped from a work crew near the jail has been recaptured after an encounter with a police dog.

The Sheriff’s Office says 38-year-old Keith Allen Schmidtke of Tumalo ran through the parking lot Sunday night and scaled a fence.

On Monday afternoon, detectives acting on a tip tried to arrest Schmidtke at a home but they say he ran. He was bitten after a police dog found him in a backyard. After another foot chase involving law enforcement officers, he was taken into custody.

The sheriff’s office said he was being taken back to the county jail after a detour to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

State and News of the West Two ag-gag laws facing federal court challenges

Cooler weather helps contain Oregon wildfires

BY JEFF BARNARD The Associated Press GRANTS PASS — Cooler temperatures have helped firefighters make progress against a dozen large fires burning across Oregon, but officials said Monday that more lightning with the potential to start other blazes was expected in north-central Oregon in the days ahead.

Nearly 9,400 firefighting personnel were battling the fires that have burned 760 square miles in Oregon.

A low-pressure area moving in from the coast was expected to pass over northcentral Oregon on Tuesday, bringing significant lightning from Hermiston south through John Day and Prineville, coordination center spokeswoman Katie Santini said.

“We had 108 new strikes Sunday in southeastern Oregon and are expecting to see more,” she said from Portland.

On Sunday, fire managers lifted a ban on rafting on a popular stretch of the Deschutes River near Warm Springs after a crews strengthened containment lines on the Shaniko Butte fire, fire spokeswoman Carol Connolly said.

Started by lighting a week ago, the fire was 50 percent contained after burning through 66 square miles of grass, brush and junipers mostly on the northeastern corner of the Confederated

Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation.

Elsewhere, residents of 37 homes in the Ochoco Mountains south of Mitchell were allowed to return home after danger eased from the Waterman Complex fires.

U.S. Highway 26 remained closed at the Ochoco Summit east of Prineville.

The fire was 35 percent contained after burning nearly 20 square miles of timber, brush and grass.

The Moccasin Hill fire, which burned 17 homes in a subdivision in Klamath County a week ago, was fully contained at 2,500 acres of mostly private timberland near Sprague River. The cause remained under investigation.

About 20 miles northwest of Sisters, about 45 homes along the Metolius River remained under an evacuation advisory due to the Bridge 99 fire, and residents of more than 800 others around Lake Billy Chinook were told to be ready to leave on short notice.

The fire was 20 percent contained after burning through about eight square miles of timber, brush and grass.

In the rugged rangelands east of Burns, the Buzzard Complex fires were 75 percent contained after burning across 576 square miles.

Some scattered ranches were still under a low-level evacuation advisory. Some cattle have been found dead in the fire area.

Human remains found in wooded area near Salem SALEM (AP) — Police are investigating human remains found in a wooded area of Salem.

Police say the remains were discovered Sunday evening. On Monday, detectives aided by state police crime lab workers recovered the skeletal remains for

transport to the state medical examiner’s office.

Lt. Steve Birr says there is a tentative identification of a 48-year-old man. No name was released pending confirmation. Birr says there was no initial indication of homicidal violence.

An evangelical Christian group, called the Good News Club and aiming to convert children as young as 5, interacts with kids as they play in a park Monday in Portland. Some parents upset by the effort banded together in recent weeks to warn parents about the Child Evangelism Fellowship’s Good News Club, buying a full-page ad in the local alternative weekly to highlight the group’s tactics.

Evangelical group sets sights on secular Portland PORTLAND (AP) — An evangelical Christian group plans to try to convert children as young as 5 at Portland apartment pools, public parks and dozens of other gathering spots this summer — a campaign that’s got some residents upset.

They’ve banded together in recent weeks to warn parents about the Child Evangelism Fellowship’s Good News Club, buying a full-page ad in the local alternative weekly to highlight the group’s tactics.

“They pretend to be a mainstream Christian Bible study when in fact they’re a very old school fundamentalist sect,” said Kaye Schmitt, an organizer with Protect Portland Children, which takes issue with the group’s message and the way it’s delivering it.

CEF says Protect Portland Children is a shadow group run by atheists who seek to dismantle Christian outreach. The group said its methods above are

reproach.

“Children are easy to manipulate, we all know that,” said CEF’s vice president Moises Esteves. “We don’t use any of the schemes and high-pressure tactics that we’re accused of.

Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Esteves’ group decided to hold its annual summer mission program in Portland because of the area’s irreligious leanings.

Trying to reach young people in Oregon presents the group with two strongly secular demographics.

Gallup polls in 2008 and 2012 have consistently indicated that Oregon is among the least religious states in the country, with one of the fewest populations identifying themselves as “very religious.”

Furthermore, focusing on young people opens the group up to an increasingly demographic. irreligious Millennials, or those born in or after the early 1980s, are

CEF has encountered controversy before.

It won a 2001 U.S. Supreme Court case that decided they could hold chapter meetings on school grounds.

The organization was also the subject of a critical book that asserts the group advances a fundamentalist agenda and uses public spaces like schools to make children believe such views are endorsed by authority figures.

In schools, the group obtains permission slips to speak with children, but it is not required to do so in public spaces.

CEF spent last week training its volunteers, Esteves said, and will span out through the area this week trying to reach children.

“We do teach that children are sinners, but we’re not nasty about it,” Esteves said. “If we were nasty about it, the kids wouldn’t come back.” He said that they don’t try to coerce the children, as “coercion leads to false conversion.”

At a park on Monday, the group laid out a tarp for children and chairs for their parents. A pair of volunteers led about 12 kids through Bible verses and songs that praised a Christian god.

“My heart was dark with sin,” they sang, “until the savior came in.”

Mia Marceau, a mother of two in the Portland suburb of Vancouver, Washington, said she was intrigued when the group approached her apartment complex pool last week. She said she, too, believes in Jesus Christ.

Within a few hours, however, she didn’t like what the group was telling her 8year-old son and his friends: They were headed to hell, needed to convert their friends and were dutybound to raise money for the organization.

“I raised a free thinker,” she said. “He didn’t buy in.

All of a sudden, he’s having arguments with his friends over salvation.”

Man accused of shooting officer hanged himself VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — Medical examiner Dennis Wickham confirmed that the man accused of shooting a Washington, Vancouver, police officer during a traffic stop committed suicide.

James Sapp was pronounced dead Friday, almost 24 hours after jail deputies intervened during the suicide attempt. Wickham said Monday that Sapp hanged himself.

Sapp had pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other charges in the June 30 shooting of Officer Dustin Goudschaal.

The motorcycle traffic officer was shot seven times, but was protected by a ballistic vest. He was hospitalized for a few days before being sent home to recover.

DES MOINES, Iowa — The years-long fight between farm organizations and animal rights activists over laws prohibiting secretly filmed documentation of animal abuse is moving from state legislatures to federal courts as laws in Utah and Idaho face constitutional challenges.

Half of U.S. states have attempted to pass so-called ag-gag laws, but only seven have been successful. Among them are Idaho, where this year’s law says unauthorized recording is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine, and Utah, whose 2012 law makes it a crime to provide false information to gain access to a farm. Both states now face separate but similarly worded lawsuits that say the measures violate federal statutes offering whistleblower protections and free-speech guarantees.

Farm organizations and livestock producers say ag-gag laws are aimed at protecting their homes and businesses from intruders, and some plan to use social media to assure the public they have nothing to hide.But animal rights groups, free-speech activists and investigative journalists want to throw out the laws because they say the secrecy puts consumers at higher risk of food safety problems and animals at higher risk of abuse.

Numerous investigations have taken place on farms in the past decade, leading to “food safety recalls, citations for environmental and labor violations, evidence of health code violations, plant closures, criminal convictions, and civil litigation,” the Idaho lawsuit says.

One such investigation was conducted by the Humane Society of the United States in Chino, California, in 2007, and led to the largest meat recall in U.S. history. Undercover video at a slaughterhouse showed cows too weak or sick to walk dragged by chains, rammed by forklifts and sprayed with high-pressure hoses. It was released after three attempts to get the facility’s USDA inspectors to do something, and the government ended up recalling 143 million pounds of meat, including 37 million pounds intended for the school lunch program.

“These ag-gag laws are putting the public at risk and they further erode what trust there is among Americans for the meat industry,” said Paul Shapiro, the society’s vice president of farm animal production.

Well aware of the image and trust problems that the investigations and subsequent laws have created, some farm groups have decided to change their strategy — forgoing the usual political channels and instead communicating to the public the scope and use of animal care standards.

“We’re going to step up now and figure out how to address the issue within our own community rather than relying on legislation to block information,” said Ryan Goodman, spokesman for the Montana Association.

Stockgrowers “We do want to be open and transparent with the public and not come across as if we’re trying to hide something because we’re not. We’re just trying to protect our own families and businesses.”

The livestock group has various social media accounts, including on and YouTube Twitter, Pinterest. He also writes a blog. “That comes across communicating the message a lot better than saying we went to the Legislature and lobbied on this issue,” Goodman said.

Another concern about some undercover investigations is that video is edited down to short clips and narrated to distort the truth, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said.

“People were essentially creating false narratives and getting on farms and actually not even representing what was happening on those farms,” he said. “We want to make sure bad stuff isn’t happening out there. If somebody is doing something wrong it needs to stop, but some will try and paint the whole industry as those handful of outliers.”

My fourounce travel buddy Air travel is not what it used to be. Having flown 1.5 million miles in the past 20 years, I’ve seen things go from enjoyable to downright challenging. I’ve had to learn a few lessons the hard way, but learn them I have. Because of the things I’ve witnessed on airplanes, in airports, taxis, subways and hotels, I’ve gone from being a passive passenger to a purpose-driven traveler.

My purpose is to arrive at my destination safe, healthy and happy. That’s why I always travel with an assistant — a travel buddy. My buddy Nok-Out weighs just 4 ounces and travels in my handbag.

EVERYDAY Buddy is CHEAPSKATE with me wherever I go.

I have come to assume that my space on any airplane is a germ pit, Mary due to what I Hunt h a v e observed over the years. I have seen people change dirty diapers on the pull-down tray table.

I’ve seen sick children sneeze and smear all manner of bodily debris on the seat, armrests and table. I’ve seen people clip their toenails, gather up the bits and deposit them into the seat pocket. I’ve observed a seat mate using that throw-up bag for the purpose it was created, and then stuffing it back into the seat pocket. Do I have your attention yet? Gross, disgusting! I’ve learned to never assume that a plane is cleaned and sanitized between flights.

Never.

Because of these things I know to be true, here’s my plane routine: 1. Locate my seat. 2. Take Buddy from my handbag. 3. Quickly spray down all of my surfaces. 4.

Take my seat and wait about 10 minutes to allow everyone around me to get into their seats and stow their luggage and for Nok-Out to fully engage. 5. Wipe all surfaces dry with the paper towel I bring with me. (I consider that pocket to be 100 percent off limits. I don’t touch it, use it or any of the magazines in it.)

Here are the simple reasons I use Nok-Out and no other kind of antibacterial spray or wipes. I trust NokOut. I’ve done the research.

Nok-Out is non-toxic. It is totally harmless to me and anyone sitting close by. It has no fumes, perfume or fragrance. You’d think I was spritzing water on my tray table. But it’s not water! NokOut is powerful against all manner of bacteria. It is antibiotic and antiviral. It kills H1N1, cold and flu viruses and MRSA. It is stable, which means it has a long shelf life. And it’s liquid, so when I wipe it off, I can quickly remove boogies, smudges, smears and spills.

I plan and program myself in such a way as to avoid that airplane restroom at all costs.

However, I am not always successful. You can be sure I bring Buddy with me. And trust me when I say that I leave that restroom in better condition than I found it.

Everything gets a spritz of Nok-Out before I touch anything.

On to the hotel.

Researchers from the University of Houston concluded from their study that television remotes in hotel rooms are one of the most heavily contaminated with bacteria, second only to the hotel housekeeping carts, which are veritable crosscontaminating trolleys for germs.

I believe that I owe my excellent travel health to Nok-Out and my willingness to keep my Buddy busy.

Honestly, I won’t travel without it. Wait, I won’t live without it. That’s how much I believe in and trust Nok-Out. Our friends at Nok-Out love it when I talk about how important it is in my life. To say thanks, for a limited time they’re offering EC readers 15 percent off any purchase plus a FREE travel size 4-ounce bottle of Nok-Out with the coupon code: DPL at NokOut.com.

Nation NATIONAL American Jews, other ‘lone soldiers’ serve Israel D I G E S T Detroit retirees endorse pension cuts DETROIT (AP) — A year after filing for bankruptcy, Detroit is building momentum to get out, especially after workers and retirees voted in favor of major pension changes just a few weeks before a judge holds a crucial trial that could end the largest public filing in U.S. history.

Pension cuts were approved in a landslide, according to results filed shortly before midnight Monday. The tally from 60 days of voting gives the city a boost as Judge Steven Rhodes determines whether Detroit’s overall strategy to eliminate or reduce $18 billion in long-term debt is fair and feasible to all creditors.

Health subsidies will continue WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court delivered a potentially serious setback to President Barack Obama’s health care law Tuesday, imperiling billions of dollars in subsidies for many low- and middle-income people who bought policies.

The Obama administration immediately declared that those policyholders will keep getting financial aid for their premiums as it seeks review of the ruling. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the decision would have “no practical impact” on tax credits as the case works its way through further court appeals.

In the case, decided by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a group of small business owners argued that the law authorizes subsidies only for people who buy insurance through markets established by the states — not by the federal government.

Gay, transgender workers gain protection WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday ordered employment protection for gay and transgender employees who work for the federal government or for companies holding federal contracts, telling advocates he embraced the “irrefutable rightness of your cause.”

“America’s federal contracts should not subsidize discrimination against the American people,” Obama declared at a White House signing ceremony.

Obama said it was unacceptable that being gay is still a firing offense in many places in the United States, and he called on Congress to extend the ban to all employers. But legislation that would extend the ban has become embroiled in a dispute over whether religious groups should get exemptions.

Friend convicted in marathon probe BOSTON (AP) — The conviction of a friend of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for impeding the investigation into the bombings has his lawyers wondering if anyone else who faces charges connected to the 2013 attack stands a chance of acquittal.

A federal jury on Monday found Azamat Tazhayakov guilty of obstruction of justice and conspiracy for trying to protect Tsarnaev by agreeing with another friend to get rid of a backpack and disable fireworks they took from his dorm room.

Man in NYC chokehold case ’gentle giant’ NEW YORK (AP) — Eric Garner was a familiar figure on the streets near Staten Island’s ferry docks: to his friends, a congenial giant with a generous gesture or a calming word; to police, a persistent face of the smalltime crime of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.

Garner’s last run-in with police spiraled into a confrontation in which an officer applied an apparent chokehold, leaving the married father of six dead and police tactics under scrutiny. And it left some who knew him wondering why such conduct was used against a man they describe as a neighborhood peacemaker.

“That’s the ironic part about it. He’s the most gentle of everybody over there,” friend Irvine Johnson said.

The Associated Press — The two Americans killed in fighting in the Gaza Strip followed in the footsteps of scores of Jews from around the world who have volunteered to fight for Israel.

Israel calls them the lone soldiers: They are men and women in the prime of their lives who have left their parents and often comfortable lives behind in places like Sydney, London, Los Angeles and elsewhere to join the Israel Defense Forces, marching in the desert and taking up arms to defend the Jewish state.

There were about 5,500 lone soldiers serving in the military in 2012, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Groups for families of lone soldiers have recently started in Los Angeles and other cities, providing a support network as the fighting intensifies.

For Jews who left Israel before the age of 15 or who never lived there, their service is voluntary. For many, it is a calling, a way to get back to their roots and unite the world’s Jewish population.

Some have dual citizenship.

Others speak little to no Hebrew and have only recently been to Israel.

Max Steinberg, 24, who grew up in Southern California’s San Fernando Valley, joined six months after he visited Israel for the first time on a Birthright Israel trip with his younger brother and sister in June 2012, said Jake Steinberg, who spoke to The Associated Press hours after learning his brother, a sharpshooter in the Golani Brigade, was among 13 Israeli soldiers and scores of Palestinians over the weekend who died during the first major ground battle in two weeks of fighting between Israel and Hamas.

The Jewish Journal was first to report Steinberg’s death.

“He got there and felt a

Nissim Sean Carmeli, 21, the second American killed, was from South Padre Island, Texas, and he felt that same strong connection to the country he had only moved to four years ago.

“Lone soldiers are a kind of star in Israel,” according to the Jewish Journal in a report.

“For Israeli kids, army service is a rite of passage. But because it is a choice for the young members of the Diaspora who re-direct their own life paths to protect Israel, those enlistees are given a hero’s welcome — and a lifetime of Shabbat dinner invitations from their fellow soldiers, who become their surrogate families.”

Thousands of people attended Carmeli’s funeral in

the northern Israeli port town of Haifa after a Facebook status called for Israelis to come in droves so that the lone soldier would be not be alone at this final resting place.

Tearful mourners rested their heads on his coffin, which was draped in an Israeli flag.

Before it was lowered into the grave,piles of flowers were set upon the coffin, as mourners cried beside it.

Mike Fishbein, who grew up in Los Angeles, said he felt like he was missing a connection to his Jewish identity in California. He spent a year volunteering and studying in Israel,but that experience only deepened his desire to do more.

“I believe in that country.

I believe in the Jewish people and the country’s reason to exist, so I thought I can’t just go back home to Los Angeles,” said Fishbein, who

served about two years with the Israel Defense Forces starting in 2009.

After Fishbein enlisted, he spent 30 days learning Hebrew along with more than two dozen others from Panama, South Africa, Australia and other nations. He then went through basic training, which included a 40-mile nighttime march through the desert. He lived for almost four months inside a worn tent from the Vietnam War era.

Israeli troops wondered why he would leave the palm trees and beaches they had seen in movies.

“They didn’t understand why a kid from Hollywood was there,” he said. “But after you stuck around, they would respect you and understand (that) we’re here together to try and protect the same thing.”

Working-class whites lose voting dominance in Ohio COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — For the first time, workingclass whites make up less than half of Ohio’s eligible voters, part of a demographic shift in a key Midwestern swing state that is pushing political parties to widen their appeal beyond the once-dominant bloc. workingNationwide, class whites — defined as those ages 18 to 64, with less than a bachelor’s degree — are more likely to be socially conservative, less optimistic about their futures and skeptical of big government.

But in Ohio, the group has been much more politically encompassing divided: deeply religious, GOP-leaning conservatives in rural areas as well as unionized blue-collar Democrats in cities.

Now, those voters are getting older, moving some of them into a 65-plus group that is more likely to back the GOP. The shift is one facet of a changing political order — and both parties say they are getting the message. The state, which a Republican National Committee panel is backing to host the 2016 GOP convention, has gone with the winning presidential candidate in every election since 1964. In 2012, President Barack Obama won Ohio by fewer than 200,000 votes out of more than 5.6 million cast.

“You can’t ignore any

quarter in Ohio, it’s too balanced. If you put too much effort in one part over another, you lose,” said Greg Haas, a long-time Democratic strategist who ran Bill Clinton’s winning 1992 Ohio campaign.

About 4.1 million, or 48 percent, of eligible voters in Ohio are working-class whites, according to unpublished 2014 census data.

That’s down from 50.5 percent in November 2012. As recently as 1980, that number was 66 percent.

Most of the change is because they’re aging out of the workforce: Eligible white voters 65 and older in Ohio increased from 17.1 percent to 18.9 percent in 2014. In contrast, whites with at least a college degree edged up from a 17.4 percent share to 17.7 percent, and nonwhite eligible voters rose from 15.1 percent to 15.3 percent.

William H. Frey, a Brookings Institution demographer who analyzed the census data, said the narrow GOP-Democrat divide makes the shifts notable.

“Working-class whites in Ohio are not nearly as strongly Republican-leaning as those in most other states,” he said.

Nationally, that demographic broke for Republicans by about 20 points on average in recent

The Associated Press

David Vernon, 18, takes a break while reading on his porch in Columbus, Ohio, on Monday. Both Republicans and Democrats are seeking voters like Vernon, a self-described moderate and an avid social media user who says he has seen a steady increase in tweets from both parties aimed at attracting younger African-American voters to get involved in political campaigns. presidential elections. But in Ohio, it’s a narrower 10 points, according to exit polls.

As the working-class white vote shrinks, Ohio Democrats are working to paint themselves as the party of diversity — their 2014 statewide ticket features three white men, two white women and one black woman, compared with the Republicans’ allbut-one-male, all-white line-up — and appeal to women of all economic groups. The party staged a bus tour last month

through Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo, led

by U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Chris Redfern, Ohio’s fiery Democratic chairman, said his party has long sought to expand outreach by hiring African-American voting coordinators around the state, which Obama won in 2012 thanks in part to strong black turnout.

“We’re investing in those communities, we’re not just paying lip service one month out of four years hoping we can turn out the vote,” he said.

Obama urges immediate access to crash site WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama sternly called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to compel Kremlin-backed separatists to stop hampering the probe at the Ukraine site of a downed passenger jet and allow international investigators unfettered access.

“What exactly are they trying to hide?” Obama said Monday from the South Lawn of the White House.

Obama also warned Putin that he could face additional economic costs if he fails to take steps to resolve the crisis in Ukraine, but officials said new American sanctions were not imminent.

Instead, much of the White

House’s focus was on gaining access to the crash site and shoring up European Union sanctions, which have lagged behind U.S. penalties.

EU foreign ministers planned to discuss the prospect of deeper sanctions during a meeting in Brussels on Tuesday. A European official said the discussions were expected to focus on targeting Russian individuals and businesses, as well as possible arms embargoes.

The official said the downing of the passenger jet last week has shifted the calculus among some European nations that had been reluctant to impose tougher sanctions, including

two Americans killed, it touched him deeply, he said.

He has struggled to post on his Facebook page his emotions or even give an explanation to his friends in California as to why he felt the need to serve. He never wanted to join the U.S. armed forces, Fishbein said.

For the 25-year-old commercial production assistant, serving in the Israel Defense Forces was the culmination of milestones in his life, he said. In ninth grade, he accompanied his father with a documentary crew filming the unearthing of Jewish artefacts in a once largely Jewish town in Poland that was destroyed in the Holocaust.

“That was a surreal experience for a ninth-grade kid to go through, but it set me up to go to Israel and serve,” he said. “Every lone soldier has had something similar.”

and the Germany Netherlands, which lost more than 190 people in the crash. However, the official said there remained splits in the European coalition, with other countries concerned that deepening sanctions on Russia now could harm efforts to gain access to the crash site.

Both the U.S. and Britain, which has been pushing for aggressive European sancsome indicated tions, frustration in particular with France, which is pressing ahead with the sale of warships to Russia. British Prime Minister David Cameron publicly questioned that decision Monday and U.S. officials said they continue

to raise the matter in conversations with the French.

While earlier rounds of Western sanctions appear to have had little impact in shifting Putin’s calculus, U.S. officials said Monday that Russia risks being pushed into a recession by the penalties. Officials repeatedly have cited data from the International Monetary Fund downgrading Russia’s growth outlook to nearly zero this year.

Just one day before Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot out of the sky by a missile, Obama announced broad unilateral U.S. sanctions on some of Russia’s biggest banks and weapons firms.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Dianne Feinstein recalls turning on her television and seeing a young Chinese girl crying before a judge, without even an interpreter to help her after surviving a harrowing journey to the U.S. That was the genesis of a law six years ago that is now at the center of an immigration crisis at the nation’s Southern border. More than 57,000 youths, mostly from America, have Central crossed into the U.S. illegally since October. Fewer than 2,000 of them have been sent back.

Immigration advocates and many Democrats insist on preserving what they describe as important protections in the 2008 law for unaccompanied youths who flee their home countries or are smuggled to the U.S. Most Republicans and a few Democrats want to change the law to address circumstances far different from six years ago, when no more than 8,000 kids arrived at the border each year without their parents.

“The 2008 law creates a process that made sense when you’re talking about a limited number of children, the victims of sex trafficking.

It doesn’t make sense when you talk about 50,000 unaccompanied minors,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. “The 2008 law wasn’t designed to deal with this situation.”

Sen. Robert Menendez, DN.J., countered, “The best interest of the child would be what the law says: Hold them in a safe and clean shelter, rather than returning them to face possible death.”

The dispute has held up congressional action on President Barack Obama’s billion emergency $3.7 spending request for more immigration judges, detention facilities and other resources for the border.

Prospects for a compromise are dim, and Congress may leave for its annual summer recess in two weeks without doing anything to deal with the unfolding crisis.

World Parents of kidnapped girls die from attacks, stress LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — About a dozen parents of the more than 200 kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls will never see their daughters again.

Since the mass abduction of the schoolgirls by Islamic extremists three months ago, at least 11 of their parents have died and their hometown, Chibok, is under siege from the militants, residents report.

Seven fathers of kidnapped girls were among 51 bodies brought to Chibok hospital after an attack on the nearby village of Kautakari this month, said a health worker who insisted on anonymity for fear of reprisals by the extremists.

Crash victims’ remains reach Ukraine-held city

KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — Bodies of those killed in the Malaysia Airlines crash reached Ukrainian government-controlled territory Tuesday, leaving a war zone en route to the Netherlands after delays and haphazard treatment that put pressure on European foreign ministers to impose tougher economic sanctions on Russia.

The crash site itself, in farmland held by the proRussian separatists whom the West accuses of shooting down the plane, remained unsecured five days after the disaster — another source of frustration for officials around the world eager to establish what happened.

The crash last week in eastern Ukraine has heightened diplomatic tensions over the conflict in Ukraine and focused anger at Russia, from Washington to EU headquarters in Brussels to protesters in Malaysia. But

Russian President Vladimir Putin remained combative Tuesday, lashing out at Ukraine’s military Tuesday for trying to dislodge the rebels.

After a 17-hour journey from the town of Torez in rebel territory, the train carrying the bodies pulled into a station in Kharkiv, a government-controlled city where Ukrainian authorities have set up their crash investigation center. The train gave a low-pitched blast from its horn as the grey corrugated refrigerator cars slowly rolled through weed-choked tracks onto the grounds of a factory where the bodies were being received.

Government spokesman Oleksander Kharchenko said Ukraine “will do our best” to send the bodies to the Netherlands on Tuesday. Of the 298 people who died aboard the Amsterdam-toKuala Lumpur flight, 193 were Dutch citizens.

But Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte says his government aims to have the first bodies returned on Wednesday. “It is our aim — and at the moment our expectation — that sometime tomorrow the first plane carrying victims will leave for Eindhoven,” he said.

Rutte said that the identification of some bodies will be quick. But he has warned grieving families of victims of Thursday’s crash that the identification of some others could take “weeks or even months.”

In Brussels, European Union foreign ministers were discussing Tuesday what action to take response to the disaster. Europe and the United States have imposed targeted economic sanctions against Russia for supporting Ukraine’s five-month insurgency that began after President pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovych was ousted by protesters in

February.

In Moscow, Putin said Russia would do “everything in its power” to facilitate the investigation including putting pressure on the rebels.

But he said that “was not enough” to resolve the situation. During a meeting with Russia’s Security Council, he again criticized Kiev for its military offensive to dislodge the rebels.

Putin again challenged the legitimacy of the Ukrainian government, saying, “people came to power in an armed, anti-constitutional way.”

“Yes, after the coup there were elections, but strangely, for some reason, those who either financed or carried out that coup became leaders of the government,” he said.

Yanukovych was declared removed by vote of parliament after fleeing the country. A special election was held May 25 to replace him, won by candy company owner Petro Poroshenko.

Jakarta governor wins Indonesian presidency JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Jakarta Gov. Joko Widodo, who captured the hearts of millions of Indonesians with his common man image, won the country’s presidential election with 53 percent of the vote, officials said Tuesday.

A former furniture exporter known to most as “Jokowi,” Widodo was the first candidate in a direct presidential election in Indonesia with no ties to the former dictator Suharto, who ruled for 30 years before being overthrown in 1998.

Soldier missing as Gaza fighting rages on JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli soldier is missing following a deadly battle in the Gaza Strip, a defense official said Tuesday, as Israeli airstrikes pummeled a wide range of locations along the coastal area and diplomatic efforts intensified to end the two week war that has killed more than 600 Palestinians and 29 Israelis.

It was not immediately known if the missing soldier was alive or dead, the Israeli

WORLD D I G E S T defense official told The Associated Press. The disappearance raised the possibility that he had been captured by Hamas — a nightmare scenario for Israel. In the past, Israel has paid a heavy price in lopsided prisoner swaps to retrieve captured soldiers or remains held by its enemies.

EU imposes new sanctions on Russia BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union agreed Tuesday to impose new sanctions against officials deemed responsible for Russia’s actions in Ukraine, amid mounting international anger after a Malaysia Airlines plane was shot down over rebel-held territory.

European foreign ministers stopped short, at least for now, of more forceful sanctions that would hit full sectors of the Russian economy.

The decision came soon after bodies of those killed in the crash reached Ukrainian government-controlled territory, leaving a war zone en route to the Netherlands after delays and haphazard treatment that put pressure on the Europeans to inflict tougher pressure on Russia.

McDonald’s, KFC in China face scandal BEIJING (AP) — McDonald’s and KFC in China faced a new food safety scare Monday after a Shanghai television station reported a supplier sold them expired beef and chicken.

The companies said they immediately stopped using meat from the supplier, Husi Food Co., Ltd. The Shanghai office of China’s food and drug agency said it was investigating and told customers to suspend use of the supplier’s products.

Dragon TV said Sunday that Husi, owned by OSI Group of Aurora, Illinois, repackaged old beef and chicken and put new expiration dates on them. It said they were sold to McDonald’s, KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants.

Peace talks eyed after Israel, Hamas cease-fire CAIRO (AP) — The U.S. and Egypt sought Tuesday to find an end to two weeks of bloodshed in the Gaza Strip, and officials raised the possibility of restarting stalled peace talks between Israel and Palestinian authorities as a necessary step to avoid sustained violence.

It’s unlikely that Washington is ready to wade back into the morass of peace negotiations that broke off last April after nearly nine months of shuttle diplomacy

by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. But the new round of fighting between Israel and Hamas militants who control Gaza has reached the level of violence that U.S. officials warned last spring would happen without an enduring truce.

Kerry, meeting with

Egypt’s president and other high-level officials, stopped short of advocating a new round of peace talks. Still, he left the door open for broad negotiations between Israel and Palestinian officials once a cease-fire is in place.

“Just reaching a cease-fire is clearly not enough,” Kerry told reporters after meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. “It is imperative that there be a serious engagement, discussion, negotiation, regarding the underlying issues and addressing all the concerns that have brought us to where we are today.”

Egypt has proposed a cease-fire plan that is backed by the U.S. and Israel but been rejected by Hamas.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri said Tuesday’s talks were focused “to not

only resolve this issue, but also to set in motion once again the peace process that Secretary Kerry has been so actively involved in so as to end this ongoing conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis.”

In a separate meeting with Kerry, Arab League President Nabil Elaraby called the Gaza bloodshed a “massacre.”

More than 600 Palestinians and 29 Israelis have been killed since the new war began July 8.

“People are dying in the streets in large numbers,” Elaraby told Kerry. “And what is needed is for all hostile acts should end as soon as possible. Just like someone is bleeding, and you need a Band-Aid, but that is not enough. You need more to be able to survive.”

“It’s not a very picturesque building,” Sweeney said.

The district is trying to eliminate that image, which parents often compare to a prison due to its drab interior, leaky ceiling and few windows.

Now, the walls are fresh compared to the old dingy yellow: They were brightened with coats of white paint (they hadn’t been painted since the school was built 42 years ago), and each teacher got to choose a color for his or her classroom’s accent wall.

“Painting this was just a booger,” he said, since the

What Pitts couldn’t know was that all of those buildings were concealing enemy fighters. Some 200 of them soon launched a full-scale assault on the outpost, their machine-gun fire puncturing the early morning silence.

A cascade of rocket-fired grenades, gunfire and hand grenades fell on the troops, quickly killing two paratroopers.

Shrapnel from grenades struck Pitts in both legs and his left arm. Unable to walk, he crawled to a comrade, who put a tourniquet on his leg.

Sweeney wants to install Solatubes once the ceiling is repaired next year, to let in more natural light.

With younger students moving in, the school board was concerned about the bus waiting area. When it rains, older kids huddled up under a small alcove. Now, the elementary students will have a long covering to stand under while they wait.

The playground “is not fantastic,” Sweeney said, looking toward a sparse collection out the back doors.

The plan is to expand access

protect the remaining troops and defend the post, the Army said. Propping himself up on his knees, he blindly fired a machine gun over a wall of sandbags, loading more bullets into his weapon despite his loss of blood.

He radioed back that he was alone, his teammates having all relocated or been killed. Enemy forces were so close to Pitts that those listening on the other end of the radio could hear them.

That’s when Pitts accepted he was going to die, Obama said. But he decided to keep fighting anyway.

“That little post was on the verge of falling, giving the enemy a perch to devastate the base below,” Obama said.

“Against that onslaught, one American held the line.”

Pitts made a full recovery.The Army said but for his determination to fight while wounded, the enemy would have gained ground and killed more American troops.

to the lower fields, hooking up to existing pipes and installing landscaping and a walkway.

The most noticeable project over the last week was the demolition of Coquille Valley’s neighbor, the old Lincoln school. It was built in 1926, but hasn’t been used for 15 years.

“It had asbestos, lead paint and it wasn’t ADA accessible,” Sweeney said as Benny Hempstead Excavating Inc. workers knocked down the building in the distance. “It was a huge eyesore.”

In its place, the district will install $105,000 of new playground equipment.

Coquille Junior-Senior High School Thankfully, nothing has to change on the high school side. The district is revamping one wing to house the incoming 110 seventh- and eighth-graders.

The junior high wing has a new bathroom and there’s a divider separating the junior high and high school hallways, meaning seniors still have their own section of lockers.

A junior high basketball court will be installed along the front side of the school, outside what will be the junior high student entrance.

That section of the parking lot will be turned into a par-

ent and bus drop-off area.

A covered walkway will also lead junior high students from their wing to the library.

The 7.5 acres behind and below the high school will be revamped for football practices, Little League games, classes along biology Cunningham Creek and more. The bridge along Central Avenue will be replaced and trees and bushes will be planted along the creek.

North Coos clinches title with sweep

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

NORTH BEND — With two very different wins Monday, the North Coos American Legion baseball team capped a run to the league title.

The Waterfront swept visiting Roseburg Umpqua Lions to complete a 124 run through the Area 4 North schedule.

North Coos took the season series from each of the other four teams in the division to earn a spot in the state tournament at Medford.

“It feels awesome,” said Marquece Williams, who had a big night for the Waterfront.

North Coos won the opener 9-8 in 10 innings, scoring the winning run when

Williams walked with the bases loaded to bring in Hunter Jackson.

In the nightcap, Williams pounded three doubles and scored three runs in a 9-3 victory, completing a night with five doubles between the two games.

“It felt way better,” said Williams, adding that he has been in a slump in recent games.

Robert Martino, meanwhile, pitched a gem in the nightcap, a five-hitter with 10 strikeouts.

“I was pretty happy,” said Martino, who didn’t allow a run until Shawn Rigsby hit a pitch over the right field fence in the fourth inning. The other two runs for the Umpqua Lions came in the seventh, when Rigsby had an RBI double and later scored on a wild pitch.

“Martino pitched extremely well,” North

Coos coach Brad Horning said. “He was up in a lot of counts.”

Martino had a pair of walks in the sixth inning — he only had one batter reach three balls in the first five. His only major selfcriticism was that he hit four batters.

That didn’t pose a problem since he was pitching with a lead and making big pitches when he needed to.

His defense helped. North Coos did not commit an error in the nightcap — after three miscues in the opener — and shortstop Marshall Rice and Williams, playing center field, each had outstanding defensive plays.

“It makes it easier knowing they are going to make plays,” Martino said.

On offense, Trey Cornish drove in three runs with grounders and Martino had a pair of RBIs.

North Coos nearly won the opener in regulation, but the Umpqua Lions scored in the top of the seventh without a base hit, aided by a passed-ball third strike.

The Waterfront then had a runner thrown out at the plate after a single to center by Colton Olson with two outs in the bottom of the seventh and loaded the bases with one out in the eighth, but couldn’t score.

Roseburg scored two runs in the top of the ninth, but North Coos rallied to tie the game when a big two-out single by Jon Bennison plated the tying runs.

Bennison also picked up the win on the mound in relief of Hunter Jackson, who pitched 8 2-3 innings.

Yacht racers compete at Tenmile Lake

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

LAKESIDE — Coos Bay Yacht Club hosted the Geary 18 International Sailboat Regatta, with a fleet of sailors and their boats competing for the championship on Tenmile Lake on Saturday.

Mike and Michelle Rodde of Canada won the Regatta, with local father-and-son duo Sean and Jacob Randle getting second and Coos Bay sailors Tom and Laura Mills coming in third.

“It was nice, peaceful sailing out there,” competition commodore Scott Randle, Sean’s brother, said. “It was an absolutely great event.”

The local sailing community is tight knit and the 14 participants this year — with hometowns ranging from British Columbia to California — were familiar with each other coming into the event.

The winners received an intricately engraved wooden plate on top of year-long bragging rights, but the piece de resistance is the antique trophy of a sailboat that has been handed down to the winner since 1935.

“We’re all here for one thing

Sailors compete during one of the races Saturday afternoon. and that’s the trophy,” Randle said. “It’s a family. We get together once a year, we all know each other and look forward to our time together, but at heart, we’re all competitors.”

The Randle family is a fixture at

the event. Scott and his wife, Shannon, are a team and their 16year-old daughter, Dominique, also competed, as did Sean’s wife, Jessica, who was paired with Dannett Johnson.

Dominique, paired with Steven

Dailey, skippered her first international.

“She’s the youngest one the Geary Association has seen in years,” Randle said of Dominique.

“She handled winds most people wouldn’t even go out in.”

Dominique started sailing when she was 10 and has gradually moved her way up from sailing school to crew to skipper. She doesn’t plan on taking her first international for granted.

“It’s a little scary, but it’s really exciting,” Dominique said. “I am the youngest, so I kind of feel proud at times because I’m doing what all the older guys are doing.

From my perspective, I’m like ‘Oh my gosh, I’m actually doing it!’ and it builds my confidence in sailing.”

On Wednesday, the sailors had tuneup races. They then kept scores from two 6-mile races a day from Thursday through Saturday to determine the winner.

A Geary 18 is a type of boat that all competitors use. It’s an 18-foot flat bottom boat that looks a lot like Nautica’s logo. Randle snapped his jib in half Friday with the winds at about 30 mph, but that’s just an occupational hazard.

BAGNERES-DE-LUCHON, France (AP) — Michael Rogers of Australia led a breakaway to a downhill finish in winning the longest stage as the Tour de France entered the Pyrenees today.

1 Vincenzo Nibali, about 8 ⁄ 2 minutes back, reined in his top challengers and retained the yellow jersey after Stage 16.

But the contest for the podium spots below him was shaken up: Thibault Pinot of France rose to third in the standings, bumping aside compatriot Romain Bardet, while Tejay van Garderen of the U.S. lost more than 31⁄2 minutes — and fell from fifth to sixth overall.

Rogers, a three-time world champion, took a bow as he crossed the line alone to collect his first career Tour stage win after the 237.5-kilometer (147-mile) leg from Carcassonne to Bagneresde-Luchon featuring an ascent up the super-tough Port de Bales.

Rogers came close not to riding on this Tour for Tinkoff-Saxo Bank team.

In a ruling announced in April, the International Cycling Union accepted that meat Rogers ate in China last year likely caused his positive doping test at the Japan Cup shortly afterward. Rogers, a crucial teammate of two-time Tour champion Alberto Contador, convinced the UCI he wasn’t intending to cheat, and said the episode was “a very difficult time” for his family.

Rogers raced last October in China, where clenbuterol is widely administered to livestock to build muscle and reduce fat. The UCI said it disqualified Rogers from the Japanese race but consulted the World Anti-Doping Agency before deciding “he should not be sanctioned any further.”

He won two stages in this year’s Giro d’Italia.

As the day began, a breakaway group of 21 riders jelled within the first two hours, and stuck together for much of the day, chiseling out a lead of more than 12 minutes.

But their unity began to disintegrate along the 12-kilometer Port de Bales climb, which was ranked hors categorie. In its steepest patch, the gradient reached 11 percent.

Before the stage, the LampreMerida team said world champion Rui Costa of Portugal would not start due to pneumonia. The Portuguese rider had been in 13th place, about 13 minutes behind Nibali.

Eugene hosts world junior meet Event is being contested in United States for first time ■

BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

The Associated Press

Baylor freshman Trayvon Bromell celebrates his 100-meter win in the NCAA championships at Hayward Field. Bromell is back in Eugene for the IAAF world junior championships.

Trayvon Bromell is making bold predictions for the junior world track championships this week.

The Baylor freshman set a junior world record in the 100 meters at the NCAA track and field championships last month. He broke the 10-second barrier, running in 9.97 at Hayward Field.

Oregon’s historic track facility is also hosting the IAAF world junior championships — marking the first time the event has been held in the United States — starting today. Nearly 1,600 athletes from 170 countries will take part in the six-day event which runs through Sunday. Most finals are set for this weekend.

Hayward Field also hosted the U.S. junior championships earlier this month, with the top finishers there

moving on to worlds.

After breaking the world junior record at the NCAA championships, becoming the first freshman to win the 100 since Florida State’s Walter Dix in 2005, Bromell went on to win gold at the U.S. juniors in 10.07.

“I feel like I’ve got a lot more,” he told reporters gathered at a preview event in Eugene on Monday. “I’m not going to run any slower. My heart won’t let me.”

Bromell’s 9.97 at the NCAA championships bested the junior record of 10.01 that he himself matched earlier in the year at the Texas Relays.

Also taking part in the junior worlds is teenage phenom Mary Cain, who will run in the 3,000 meters. She won the event at the U.S. championships in 9 minutes, 15.81 seconds for a spot at worlds.

Cain made the finals in the 1,500 at the senior world outdoor championships last year in Moscow, at 17 becoming the youngest woman to run the event.

“I chose the 3,000 meters because I thought it would be fun to mix it up,” Cain said Monday.

Cain eschewed a college track career

and decided to join the Nike Oregon Project, training under decorated U.S. marathoner Alberto Salazar. The 18year-old plans to study — just not compete as an athlete — at the University of Portland.

The U.S. team also includes sprinter Kaylin Whitney, an incoming junior at East Ridge High School in Clermont, Florida, who will run in both the 100 and 200 meters.

Earlier this month at the U.S. junior championships, Whitney broke the world junior record by running the 200 meters in 22.49 seconds.

The 16-year-old bested the world 17and-under mark of 22.58 set by Marion Jones in 1992. Whitney also surpassed the prep low-altitude mark of 22.51, set

by Allyson Felix at the 2003 Mount SAC Relays.

She also set a high school record of 11.10 in the 100.

The event, sanctioned by the sport’s international governing body, includes athletes born between 1995 and 1998.

Countries can enter two athletes in each event.

Sports Manziel’s jersey is NFL’s top-seller

Mariners top Mets in Seattle

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — Johnny Manziel is No. 2 on Cleveland’s depth chart but No. 1 as the NFL’s top-selling jersey.

The league said Monday the rookie quarterback’s No. 2 jersey outsold all others from April 1 to July 17 on NFLShop.com.

Manziel is followed on the list by three quarterbacks: Seattle’s Russell Wilson, San Francisco’s Colin Kapernick and Denver’s Peyton Manning.

Seahawks cornerb a c k R i c h a rd Sherman is fifth followed by St. Louis rookie Michael Sam, the league’s first openly gay player.

The league did not say how many Manziel jerseys — priced at $99.95 a pop — sold during the period.

The Browns drafted the former Texas A&M star with the No. 22 pick. He’ll enter his first training camp as Brian Hoyer’s backup.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — Kyle Seager drove in two runs, Mike Zunino homered into the second deck at Safeco Field and Dustin Ackley stole a home run with a leaping catch at the wall as Seattle beat the New York Mets 5-2 on Monday to open an interleague series.

After losing two of three to the Angels after the All-Star break, Seattle got a solid start from Roenis Elias and improved to 8-2 all-time against the Mets.

Elias (8-8) threw 5 1-3 innings before leaving with cramping in his left forearm.

Seattle’s bullpen was stellar the rest of the MLB way, helped by outstanding Recap Ackley’s grab to rob Travis d’Arnaud of a home run in the sixth.

Seager had RBIs singles in his first two at-bats and Zunino hit his 14th homer of the season, an estimated 415foot shot off starter Jonathon Niese (55) into the second deck in left field.

Tigers 4, Diamondbacks 3: Torii Hunter and Austin Jackson homered, Justin Verlander (9-8) moved into third place on Detroit’s career strikeout list and the Tigers opened their interleague series in Arizona by beating the Diamondbacks.

Miguel Cabrera drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning with a booming single just below the home run line on the Chase Field porch in left-center.

Seattle left fielder Dustin Ackley leaps at the wall and reaches over to steal a home run from New York’s Travis d'Arnaud in the sixth inning Monday.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Orioles 4, Angels 2: Adam Jones hit a pair of two-run homers, including a tiebreaking shot in the sixth inning, and the Orioles beat the Angels.

Bud Norris (8-6) won for the fifth time in his last six starts as the Orioles increased their AL East lead to four games over the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays.

Red Sox 14, Blue Jays 1: David Ortiz hit the 452nd and 453rd home runs of his career, moving past Boston great Carl Yastrzemski into 36th place on the all-time list, and the Red Sox won their fifth straight game.

Ortiz matched Yastrzemski with a two-run blast to center off left-hander Brad Mills in the fourth, then broke the short-lived tie with another two-run shot off Mills in the fifth, his 21st and 22nd homers of the season.

It was the third multihomer game of the season for Ortiz and the 44th of his career.

Rangers 4, Yankees 2: Miles Mikolas earned his first win as a starter, pitching into the eighth inning and leading the Rangers to a victory over the sloppy Yankees.

Trailing by a run with none on and two outs in the sixth, Texas got runscoring singles from Geovany Soto, Rougned Odor and Shin-Soo Choo to go ahead in only its third win in 17 July games.

Adrian Beltre drove in the Rangers’ first run with a fielder’s choice in the

third inning on one of New York’s five errors — three by starting pitcher Shane Greene (2-1). Second baseman Brian Roberts and shortstop Derek Jeter made the other errors for the Yankees, who had not committed five in a nine-inning game since Aug. 20, 1998, against Minnesota.

Twins 4, Indians 3: Josh Willingham’s tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning sent the Twins to a victory over the Indians.

White Sox 6, Royals 3: Chris Sale (9-1) pitched seven effective innings in his first outing since the All-Star break and Adam Dunn had two RBIs and scored a run to lead the White Sox to a victory over the slumping Royals.

Pittsburgh that came back negative Monday.

Giants 7, Phillies 4: Adam Duvall hit a two-run homer to spoil Cliff Lee’s return from the disabled list and the Giants beat the Phillies.

Making his first start since May 18 because of an elbow injury, Lee (4-5) allowed six runs and 12 hits in 5 2-3 innings in this one.

Marlins 5, Braves 3, 10 innings: Garrett Jones drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the 10th inning, lifting the Marlins to a victory over the Braves.

Brewers 5, Reds 2: Milwaukee scored three runs on two misjudged balls in the outfield by Chris Heisey, and Wily Peralta (11-6) pitched seven strong innings in the Brewers’ win over the Reds.

Ryan Braun hit a two-run double in the third on which Heisey took a couple of steps in before retreating as the high liner went over his head. The four-year veteran with 134 career starts in left field apparently lost Carlos Gomez’s high fly ball to the warning track in the fourth inning that turned into an RBI ground-rule double that made it 4-0.

Nationals 7, Rockies 2: Ian Desmond tied a career high with five hits, including a two-run homer, and Doug Fister (9-2) threw effectively into the sixth to help the Nationals beat the sinking Rockies.

DENVER — Broncos safety T.J. Ward is scheduled to be in court for charges stemming from an incident at a strip club.

Ward faces misdemeanor assault and disturbing the peace charges for allegedly throwing a glass mug at a female bartender May 10 at PT’s All Nude Club. Ward’s hearing in Denver County Court was scheduled for this morning.

The 27-year-old Ward, a former Oregon standout, signed a four-year, $22.5 million deal with Denver this spring. He is coming off a Pro Bowl season in Cleveland, where he also earned secondteam All-Pro honors last year.

The Seminoles were picked as the overall league champions by 104 media members and received 109 first-place votes in their division to put them far ahead of Clemson, which had three.

Four Coastal teams were separated by 44 points: Miami had 614 points to 597 for Duke, 571 for Virginia Tech and 570 for North Carolina.

Both the Blue Devils (33) and Tar Heels (27) received more first-place votes than the Hurricanes (26) — the Coastal favorites for the second straight year.

BASEBALL Hall of Fame officials cancel August concert COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — The National Baseball Hall of Fame says next month’s gala concert featuring the Boston Pops and Paul Simon has been canceled. No reason was given.

The Aug. 2 event was to have been part of the museum’s 75th anniversary celebration.

The Hall of Fame said Monday that LGH19 Productions has asked ticket holders to go to www.cooperstownconcert.com for more information. Hall spokesman Brad Horn is referring questions to LGH19 Production.

Hall of Famers Rod Carew, Rollie Fingers, Carlton Fisk and Ozzie Smith were among those to have attended the concert at Clark Sports Center.

NBA Sacramento squad wins Summer League crown LAS VEGAS — Ray McCallum scored 29 points and Sacramento rallied from an eight-point deficit in the final minutes, as the Kings topped the Houston Rockets 77-68 Monday night in the NBA Summer League championship game.

The Kings went 6-1 at Las Vegas, and McCallum more than saved his best for last.

He scored a total of 55 points in his first six games in the tournament, then connected on 9 of 15 shots from the floor in the title game.

Ra’shad Jones scored 12 points and Nik Stauskas added 10 for Sacramento, which closed the game on a 27-10 run.

Nick Johnson scored 17 for the Rockets, who got 16 from Donatas Motiejunas and 15 from Isaiah Canaan.

WNBA Atlanta coach Cooper has tongue cancer ATLANTA — Atlanta Dream coach Michael Cooper has been diagnosed with early stage tongue cancer.

The team says Cooper is taking a temporary leave of absence and will have surgery this week in Atlanta. The Dream say a full recovery is expected.

Cooper is expected to miss about two weeks, and assistant coach Karleen Thompson will fill in..

In a statement released by the team Monday, Cooper says he is fortunate to have an early diagnosis. He says his case “illustrates the importance of screening and early detection.”

Atlanta leads the Eastern Conference with a 15-6 record. Cooper, the former Lakers guard, coached the East to a 125-124 overtime victory at the WNBA All-Star game Saturday.

Coos Bay’s is his favorite “by far.”

“You got good winds and sunshine, that’s what it takes,” Vincent said. ”For a sailboat race, that’s 90 percent of it. Good winds and good sunshine.

“It makes a huge difference.”

Randle isn’t actively recruiting, but he’d be happy to see the local sailing community swell a little. It would just make next year’s Geary 18 International better.

“We’re constantly trying to get people out here,” Randle said. “It’s such a fun comfortable boat to sail, and the more people up here racing them, the more enjoyable it is.”

Seahawks look forward after taking first title RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Soon after the parade and television appearances and celebrations were over, the message changed for the Seattle Seahawks.

Winning the first Super Bowl in franchise history was just that — history.

“What’s happened before is obviously significant, but it doesn’t mean anything unless we go out and keep working,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said.

Seattle begins training camp Friday with mostly the same roster that raised the championship trophy last February in New Jersey. The Seahawks’ offseason priorities were focused on keeping their own, and they accomplished that task by signing safety Earl Thomas and cornerback Richard Sherman to long-term extensions, wide receiver Doug Baldwin to a shorter deal, bringing back defensive end Michael Bennett before he reached free agency and keeping Carroll in charge through 2016.

The attrition that came with being the Super Bowl champ created position questions Seattle must solve in training camp to help it remain on top of arguably the toughest division in football.

“I definitely believe we’re way further ahead. It’s exciting. You have an itch because

you know how to do it at a very high level, and the best part about it is we can continue to do it better,” QB Russell Wilson said. “There’s a lot more ways that we can be better, there’s a lot more ways that I can be better, and that’s the great part about it.”

Some things to watch for as Seattle opens camp: MONEY TALKS: Running back Marshawn Lynch nearly skipped June’s mandatory minicamp because he wants the final two years of his contract reworked. He ultimately showed to avoid a hefty fine, but that doesn’t change his desire for a little more cash.

Lynch is scheduled to make $5.5 million in 2014.

Lynch has been the workhorse Seattle has leaned on the past three seasons. He’s helped bring the team its first Super Bowl title, and despite his quirks, has wide-ranging respect in the locker room.

The last thing the Seahawks would seem to need is Lynch unhappy heading into the season.

DOUBLE NICKEL: The depth in Seattle’s secondary is one of the strengths of its defense. But it will be stretched this season. The Seahawks have no true backup for Thomas and they must replace nickel cornerback Walter Thurmond, who signed with the Giants. The

LEGION From Page B1 Cornish had two hits, a run and an RBI, and Rice had had two hits and two runs in the opener.

North Coos already had secured a spot in the state tournament before Monday’s doubleheader, but the sweep meant the league title as well.

“It’s pretty sweet,” Martino said. “It’s the first time since I’ve been with North Coos.”

The pitcher from Bandon is on the team for a third season, and looks forward to seeing how the squad will do in Medford.

Thirst for US craft beer grows overseas

BY MICHAEL FELBERBAUM The Associated Press

Helping to quench a growing thirst for American craft beer overseas, some of the United States’ largest craft breweries are setting up shop in Europe, challenging the very beers that inspired them on their home turfs.

It’s the latest phenomenon in the flourishing craft beer industry, which got its start emulating the European brews that defined many of the beer styles we drink today.

The move also marks a continuing

departure from the status quo of mass market lagers or stouts, demonstrating a willingness of American breweries to explore — and innovate — old world beer styles from Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom.

The U.S. craft beer scene is so fresh and dynamic, Europeans are becoming as excited about it as Americans, says Mike Hinkley, cofounder of San Diego-based Green Flash Brewing Co. “Even though they’re used to all these amazing European beers, now there’s just more variety.”

U.S. craft beer exports grew sixfold during the past five years, jumping from about 46,000 barrels in 2009 to more than 282,500 barrels in 2013, worth an estimated $73 million, according to the Brewers Association, the Colorado-based trade group for the majority of the 3,000 brewing companies in the United States. Of course, it’s still a fraction of overall production; U.S. craft brewers produced a total of 15.6 million barrels last year.

Just last week, Green Flash became the first U.S. craft brewery to begin making and selling fresh

beer in the European market under a deal with Brasserie St-Feuillien, a Belgian brewery founded in 1873.

Under the watchful eye of Green Flash brewmaster Chuck Silva, the brewery is making and selling fresh West Coast IPA for distribution in the U.K., Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Italy.

Meanwhile, 500 miles away in Berlin, Stone Brewing Co. is taking a different approach to meeting overseas demand — spending about $25 million to renovate a historic gas works building into a brewery, packaging and distribu-

tion center, restaurant and garden set to open late next year or early 2016. Escondido, California-based Stone — one of the top 10 biggest craft breweries in the U.S. — will make beer for its bistro and distribution throughout Germany and Europe.

“The idea that we’re going to go across the pond as it were to brew our style of beers fresh in Europe is an exciting prospect for us,” said Stone CEO and co-founder Greg Koch, who announced the overseas SEE BEER | C2

Plan ahead for dinner

Where in The World? — New Orleans

Louise Hannaford and her daughter, Lisa Magill, took in some good times at the eighth annual Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival in beautiful Louis Armstrong Park in downtown New Orleans.

EASY OVERNIGHT

Where in The World?

If you are going on vacation, take an edition of The World with you.

When you find yourself in a picturesque spot as Louise and Lisa did, snap your family/group with the paper. Then, when you visit a local restaurant, get a picture of your meal.

Those first few weeks when the kids head back to school can be among the most hectic for families. The lazy days of summer quickly give way to crazy schedules, homework and afterschool activities. And don’t forget somehow managing to slip dinner into the middle of all that.

This is why a do-ahead dinner can be a lifesaver as families get accustomed to their new routines. So we created this easy, kidfriendly ham and cheese casserole that can be prepped and refrigerated the night before, then just popped in the oven the next evening.

Another bonus — the leftovers make a great breakfast the next day.

A tuna sandwich by way of Mediterranean bruschetta

BY SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

Sometimes the last thing you want to do at the end of a long hot summer day is turn on the oven and make a meal.

So here’s a delicious solution that requires no more heat than is necessary to grill up some bread.

The grilled bread in question, rubbed with garlic, is the sturdy and satisfying basis for bruschetta, an Italian appetizer that can carry many toppings but most often is graced with nothing more or less complicated than chopped fresh tomatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper.

In this case, I’ve topped a large bruschetta with a mound of no-cook tuna salad. In American terms, it’s an open-faced sandwich, and it takes just 30 minutes to prepare. And by the way, if you don’t own a grill, don’t despair: just toast the bread in a toaster.

Canned tuna is everywhere, of course, but I’d Tuna and white bean bruschetta. advise you to look for the brands that are sustainably instead.

oil and fresh lemon juice.

The tuna’s partnered with white beans, a great source of protein and fiber that also provides a nice creamy contrast to the tuna’s fishiness.

Mashing up some of the beans helps to bind the salad and keep it from falling all over the plate.

I’ve added celery for crunch, but celery-haters will find that chopped fresh fennel is a fine substitute.

I’ve also tossed in some red onion, which I love in salads but only after they’ve been tamed. Soaking them in ice water does the trick, significantly reducing the onion’s bite, as well as its staying power on your breath afterward. Remember to put the finely-chopped onion in a strainer before you lower it into the ice water, which saves you from having to fish all the little loose pieces out of the bowl.

The finishing touches?

Fresh oregano and some chopped olives mixed with arugula or your favorite dark green lettuce. It’s so simple you may be tempted to whip

BEER A new thirst for American beer Continued from Page C1 expansion plans over the weekend. “When we started out at Stone 18 years ago, we were inspired by a lot of the European brewers ... and now to see an inspiration bounce back around the world, that’s amazing.”

Brooklyn Brewery’s brewOliver master Garrett agreed, saying what used to be a one-way street in the beer world is coming fullcircle: “The creative spirit and ideas that have been developing in the U.S. are flowing back in that direction. Now it’s a two-way street and we all have something to offer.”

In the spring, New York’s Brewery and Brooklyn Carlsberg Sweden opened a craft brewery and restaurant making new beers that are being distributed throughout Scandinavia. The staff of

Nya Carnegie in Stockholm was hired by Brooklyn Brewery and trained by its brewmaster.

Brooklyn Brewery is still exporting its own beers to more than 20 countries in addition to its joint venture and also is looking at similar projects in other European capitals, South America and Asia.

Around 30 percent of its business is exports.

But the thirst for American craft beer hasn’t always been there.

When the Brewers Association first gave presentations overseas about the American craft beer scene about 10 years ago, people would laugh aloud.

They’d even quote a Monty Python skit comparing American beer to water.

“They’re not laughing anymore,” said Bob Pease, chief operating officer for the U.S. beer trade group. “The word is out now that the highest quality beer, the most diverse beer, is coming from American craft brewers.”

Triple fennel sausage sandwich.

A summer sausage roll with a triple dose of fennel

BY ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

Bringing in Tuna......Get Yours Now!!!!

Fennel loves fat. That’s why fennel seeds are such a common seasoning in sausages. They contribute a mildly peppery, fresh flavor that cuts through the delicious heaviness of the rich meat.

So we decided to play up that balance by creating a grilled sausage sandwich with a triple dose of fennel — fennel seeds in the sausage, fresh fennel bulb shaved and piled on top, and more fennel seeds in the dressing. We blend the fresh fennel with shaved red bell pepper and a Dijon-mayonnaise dressing to create a cooling slaw that adds a crunchy sweet contrast to the warm sausage.

Want to dress up these rolls even more? Slice sweet onions into thick slabs, coat them with oil and slap those on the grill, too. The grilled onions will provide a delicious bed to nestle the sausages into inside the rolls.

BRIDGE James Thurber, a cartoonist, playwright, author and wit, asked of an unknown voice, “If I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?”

In bridge, working out the right number is a big help. In this deal, South and East have to come up with the important figures.

South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart four. How should South plan the play?

South’s two-no-trump rebid is in principle game-forcing. North may

pass only with fewer than six points and no long suit. This agreement gives the responder the three-level to suggest alternative strains, or to start a slam investigation.

South has eight top tricks: three spades, three hearts (given the lead) and two diamo nds. Obviously, he should hope for a 3-2 diamond break to generate the extra winner that he needs. But since dummy has no entry outside diamonds, South should lead a low diamond from his hand and play low from the board. What should happen after that?

It will be tempting for East to win the trick and return his second heart. But with this layout, South runs home with an overtrick.

Since West is known to have only four hearts (he led a fourth-highest four, and the two and three are in the dummy), East should realize that even if West has strong hearts, one diamond and three hearts will not produce the number of tricks needed to defeat the contract. Instead, East should hope his partner has good clubs. After overtaking West’s diamond nine with his jack, East should shift to the club six. Here, that works perfectly.
