North Bend airport receives $1M grant toward paying off terminal

Arizona execution drawn out two hours

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

NORTH BEND — Southwest Oregon Regional Airport is one step closer to paying off the $20 million bill for its terminal building. The airport received a $1 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday, another chunk of its multi-year grant to pay off the construction six years ago of its terminal building. “It’s the last million dollars of our entitlement that we’re using toward the debt reduction,” airport Executive Director Theresa Cook said. The rest of the debt will be paid over 20 years out of the airport’s operating revenue. Those payments could stretch out to 2024 or 2025, she said, unless the airport is

PHOENIX (AP) — A condemned Arizona inmate gasped for more than an hour and a half during his execution Wednesday before he died in an episode sure to add to the scrutiny surrounding the death penalty in the U.S. Arizona Attorney General Tom Joseph Wood Horne’s Executed office said Joseph Rudolph Wood was pronounced dead at 3:49 p.m., one hour and 57 minutes after the execution started. Wood’s lawyers had filed emergency appeals with federal and state courts while the execution was underway, demanding that it be stopped. The appeal said Wood was “gasping and snorting for more than an hour.” Gov. Jan Brewer said later that she’s ordering a full review of the state’s execution process, saying she’s concerned by how long it took for the administered drug protocol to kill Wood. Press An Associated reporter who witnessed the execution saw Wood start gasping shortly after a sedative and a pain killer were injected into his veins. He gasped more than 600 times over the next hour and 40 minutes. An administrator checked on Wood a half dozen times. His breathing slowed as a deacon said a prayer while holding a rosary. The 55-yearold finally stopped breathing and was pronounced dead 12 minutes later. “Throughout this execution, I conferred and collaborated with our IV team members and was assured unequivocally that the inmate was comatose and never in pain or distress,” said state

“It’s the last million dollars of our entitlement that we’re using toward the debt reduction.” Theresa Cook Airport executive director

able to pay off more early to save on interest. The next annual entitlements the airport receives will go toward construction of a new firefighting station, she said. Construction likely won’t begin for a few years as

the airport saves those grant funds. Cook wasn’t at the helm when the terminal project began, but it fell in line with trends across the industry, she said. “Generally, there is a shopping list of items an airport tries to do to be competitive: have a nice control tower, a terminal to accommodate your traffic,” she said. “At the time this was completed, it was in a peak around the country where everyone was experiencing traffic growth, from 2007 to 2008. Since then around the country (during the Great Recession), they have all experienced the same reduction, but it’s starting to climb up again.” SkyWest Airlines and SeaPort Airlines currently operate out of North Bend’s airport.

EUGENE — Lane County commissioners pondered possible county regulations for electronic cigarettes Tuesday, and weighed whether to require tobacco retail outlets in unincorporated Lane County to buy county business licenses. The use of e-cigarettes, known as “vaping” because nicotine is delivered to users through vapor rather than tobacco smoke, has grown rapidly in the past few years, with more stores selling the battery-powered devices and the flavored chemical-based liquids that are vaporized. Dr. Patrick Luedtke, the county’s public health officer, said e-cigarettes — and their health effects — have not been “fully studied” yet.

STATE

WASHINGTON (AP) — After spending nearly $300 million on a new computer system to handle disability claims, the Social Security Administration still can’t get it to work. And officials can’t say when it will. Six years ago, Social Security embarked on an aggressive plan to replace outdated computer systems overwhelmed by a growing flood of disability claims. But the project has been racked by delays and mismanagement, according to an internal report commissioned by the agency. Today, the project is still in the testing phase, and the agency can’t say when it will be operational or how much it will cost. In the meantime, people filing for disability claims face long delays at nearly every step of the process — delays that were supposed to

But the vapor they emit has been found to contain known human carcinogens including benzene, propylene glycol, formaldehyde and lead, he said. That’s a concern, he said, even though studies have not yet established whether the chemicals typically reach dangerous concentrations in e-cigarettes. Larry Dunlap, a Eugene doctor, testified that the medical community is concerned about e-cigarettes. “They have nothing to do with cessation of smoking (as manufacturers and many users claim) and everything to do with the possibility of addicting another generation to nicotine,” he said. “E-cigarettes should be regulated like other tobacco products, at the very least.” SEE E-CIGARETTES | A10

Animals offered for sale on Saturday, July 26, during the Coos County Fair, will have met several criteria. All animals in the sale must receive a blue ribbon in the show ring, have a live grade suitable for top quality meat, maintain an average daily gain from the spring weigh-in, reach a minimum weight and be presented in show condition throughout the county fair.

FFA and 4-H members are required to maintain records on their auction project animals, solicit buyers for the auction and provide follow-up Thank You letters to buyers. The auction committee supports youth by providing a public sale that earns top prices for a quality product. Members who stay in the program are eligible for scholarships up to $1,000 to assist with their education beyond high school.

Businesses and individuals wanting to participate in the auction may do so by purchasing an animal, sharing in the purchase of an animal, donating to the scholarship fund, or participating as a bidder during the sale. Support can also be providing high quality stock for youth to purchase and raise, or provide feeds and feeding programs that assist in producing a top quality meat animal.

FFA and 4-H members participating in the livestock auction program must commit time and energy to their project. A high quality meat animal is not produced without planning, care and concern.

State Day care operators holding medical marijuana cards told to choose SALEM (AP) — Five Oregon home-based, daycare centers are owned by people who have medical marijuana cards, officials said, prompting Gov. John Kitzhaber to say they should have to choose between their business and their pot. The state Office of Child Care has long viewed medical marijuana use as a private health matter that isn’t disclosed to the general public or parents of children at the centers. Providers have conditions attached to their care licenses allowing them to use marijuana as long as they lock up the drug and paraphernalia, avoid smoking it in front of children, and have another adult present while under the

influence. The state, however, changed course following media scrutiny. Parents of children at the five centers were notified last month that the owners had pot cards, and the names of the centers were made public. “The governor’s priority is making sure children in child care and early learning programs are in healthy environments and actively engaged in learning,” said Melissa Navas, a spokeswoman for Kitzhaber. Navas said the governor is asking the Early Learning Council, which he appointed to oversee early childhood education, to take action so medical marijuana cardholders are prohibited from being

licensed child-care providers. The council meets Aug. 6 and could adopt new rules, although it’s unclear whether the panel has authority to ban marijuana cardholders from owning child-care centers without legislative action. Kitzhaber’s Republican rival, state Rep. Dennis Richardson, had seized on the issue, saying last week that “the governor has a responsibility to make sure provisions like this don’t slip through the cracks and put our children in danger.” Applicants for child-care licenses are not currently asked whether they have medical marijuana cards, so the state knows only about those who volunteer the

information. The application will change after the Early Learning Council meets in August, said Crystal Greene, a spokeswoman for the Department of Education. Child-care providers who give up their medical marijuana card and meet all other requirements will be allowed to keep their child-care license, Greene said. One of the child-care centers, Alphabet Academy in Salem, was shut down for multiple unspecified violations, state officials said. The other four centers received surprise inspections last month and were found to be following the conditions on their licenses, said Jada Rupley, Oregon’s director of early learning.

Murder, arson charged in fatal Creswell fire STATE EUGENE (AP) — Lane County prosecutors filed murder and arson charges Wednesday against a 42year-old Eugene man accused of killing two acquaintances and setting fire to their rural home at Creswell. Eugene Merton Whitehall could face the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder. The Register-Guard reports he did not enter a plea Wednesday at his arraignment in Lane County Circuit Court but is expected back in court next week after a grand jury reviews evidence in the case. Sheriff’s Lt. Cliff Harrold says investigators suspect Whitehall killed 65-year-old Dennis Michael Kelley and 69-year-old Carl Robb McFarland. Their remains were found in the July 16 fire. Whitehall was provided room and board while working on Kelley’s pig farm on the property.

GMO labeling initiative qualifies for ballot PORTLAND (AP) — An initiative to require the labeling of genetically modified foods in Oregon has qualified for a statewide vote in November. The Secretary of State’s Office said Wednesday that it certified 118,780 signatures — well above the 87,213 needed to qualify for the ballot. If adopted, the initiative by Oregon GMO Right to Know would require manufacturers, retailers and suppliers to label raw and packaged foods produced entirely or partially by genetic engineering. The measure would not apply to animal feed or food served in restaurants. It would be effective January 2016. Labeling measures in California and in Washington state failed in recent years. A similar measure was defeated in Oregon in 2002. Three states — Vermont, Maine and Connecticut — have enacted laws that require labeling of GMOs.

PENDLETON (AP) — A recently retired police dog for the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office has died, and investigators are checking to see if poison is the cause. Undersheriff Jim Littlefield said Wednesday that a veterinarian suspects the 9-year-old German shepherd named Yosh died from poisoning, but detectives still need hard evidence. He says the Umatilla city police department will handle the investigation. Yosh retired from the sheriff’s office last month and was living at the Umatilla home of the deputy who handled him during his career. The sheriff’s office says Yosh faithfully served the department and played a key role in the capture of murder suspect Lukah Chang in August 2013. Chang was in the Pendleton Convention Center and surrendered moments after the dog entered the building and began barking.

Killing suspect finally arrested PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon State Police detectives have arrested the suspect in a Josephine County killing who eluded them last week. Lt. Gregg Hastings says a tip from the public led them to 44-year-old Daniel Martinson, who was arrested Wednesday morning at a Cave Junction park. Martinson was wanted on a felony warrant for murder in connection with the November 2013 death of 39year-old Aaron Lee Clouser of Cave Junction. Police said last week that Martinson gave law enforcement officers the slip on a motorcycle during a manhunt in the forests near the California state line.

Good journalism begins at home Our view If it weren’t for you, our audience, we wouldn’t have an award-winning news organization.

What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

Indulge us just a little today. Last Friday, The World became an award-winning newspaper once again. We have to admit, we haven’t been in much of a competing mood in recent years. But earlier this year when the call came from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association for entries, we thought — we’ve had a pretty good year. Why not jump in? Let’s see how we stack up against other Oregon news organizations. Seems we stacked up pretty well. We earned 15 individual and staff awards in 13 cate-

gories, including seven in first place, six in second two in third place, one of those in general excellence. (Congrats to our sister newspaper, the Corvallis Gazette-Times, which took first.) Notable first place finishes included best overall website, best multimedia element and best online coverage of breaking news (for coverage of the Coos Bay Prayer Chapel bombing), beating both The Oregonian and the (Medford) Mail Tribune. Heady stuff. And yes, we feel pretty proud. It was doughnuts all around in the office Monday morning.

And almost immediately, it was back to work. Journalism is one of those professions where you are judged by what you’ve done today, not just what you did last week or last month or last year. We remember that Caesar ordered a slave to stand behind conquering Roman generals to whisper in their ears, “all glory is fleeting.” What keeps us humble is this — we can’t even begin to produce award-winning journalism without the stories to tell. A news organization is like a mirror, reflecting back at you your triumphs and failures, challenges and successes. That means you, our audience, are

also our sole source for outstanding stories. We’re telling your stories, and they make for fascinating, awardwinning journalism. We wouldn’t be winning anything without you. In a way, you all are award-winners, too. So, give yourselves a pat on the back. And if you know folks who don’t read their hometown source for local news, folks who stopped reading awhile ago for whatever reason, tell them what they’re missing. They’re missing their own awardwinning stories. OK, enough bragging. Back to work ...

Who’ll build the roads? “Tea party members don’t think there’s a federal role in transportation!” complained Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, last week, near the site of a $5.8 million highway project. If only most tea party members were that radical. While Brown and other big-government folks worry that Republicans will cut spending,Republicans debate adding another $10.5 billion to the Highway Trust Fund to keep it going another year — without deciding how to reform it. Now, there’s no doubt some roads and bridges need work. But too little transportation money spent by government goes to building and repairing roads. As Cato Institute transportation analyst Randal O’Toole points out,the construction of the nation’sfederal highways was largely complete in 1982, but instead of reducing the gas tax that helped pay for them, Congress raised the tax and spent much of the money on things like bicycle trails and “mass” transit. “Building an interstate highway system,” writes O’Toole, “has been replaced by a complex and often contradictory set of missions: maintaining infrastructure, enhancing mobility, reducing air poldiscouraging lution, driving, supporting tranJOHN sit, building expensive rail STOSSEL lines,promoting economic development, stimulating Columnist the economy, stopping climate change and ending urban sprawl, among others.” Then, when roads deteriorate, the federal government laments that it doesn’t have enough money. Urban planners, who work closely with government and distrust markets, are convinced that people will leave comfortable suburban homes and flock to dense urban areas with walkable streets, if government just pours money into mass transit. But even after Congress spent billions on public transportation projects, even rebuilding the downtowns of some cities to make them more pedestrian-friendly, it turned out most Americans wanted to stay in their suburban homes. It turns out that government spent your billions on urban transit based on surveys that asked people if they want to live in “walkable communities.” Of course people said yes! Who doesn’t want to live in a neighborhood where you can “walk to shops?” But if they’d asked, “Are you willing to spend about four times as much per square foot to live in a city instead of a spacious suburban home?” they’d get different answers. Now, I live the way bureaucrats want you to live. I have an apartment in New York City, one of the most densely populated places on Earth. I take the subway system to get around and sometimes ride my bicycle. I like living this way. But bureaucrats shouldn’t try to force you to live the way I live. In fact, herding people into denser urban areas sounds suspiciously like something that makes life easier for the bureaucrats themselves. It was a popular idea with communist planners in Romania and North Korea. Mass transit and “planned spaces” appeal to the bureaucratic mind. How about going the opposite route? Let people live where they choose, let private entities build roads and mass transit (many roads and even most of New York City’s subways were privately built), and let user fees from commuters pay for roads and transit. There is justice in that idea: People who love to drive will pay for it, and those who don’t want to pay have an extra incentive to move to those urban spaces planners like so much. In a market, everybody wins. With government planners, it’s always “My way or the highway.”

Letters to the Editor Why no respect for port cats? Here we go again! Why is it that every time new blood comes to town our local cats are the first to be targeted. Remember City Kitty, a little old cat who had lived peacefully at North Bend City Hall for 13 years. A new administrator arrives and kitty must go, was trapped and then was lost on the streets of the city, probably starving or dead by now. A similar situation is now taking place at the Charleston Boat Basin. Another new “boss” has moved in; and a small colony of old cats, some as old as 15, have lived there for 10 years; and it has been determined that they must go. These animals and the people who care for them are being constantly harassed on a daily basis. And to the menacing man with the shovel, that includes you. Their food is dumped in the water, their water dishes are overturned and their shelters destroyed, and traps are set where they feed. Why? What have they done to deserve this? And where is animal control in all of this? Because without their help, we have no way to resolve the situation. All we can do is continue writing letters, as we have been doing, in the hope that someone will come to their senses. Perhaps you would rather live with rats. Cats are excellent at rat control. I once observed my little Lynx-point Siamese kill a wood rat bigger than she was. You cat haters should know your day will come. I wonder how you will feel when you are old and frail and can no longer care or fend for yourself. Maybe you should think long and hard about this because it’s in your future, too. Joan M. Johnson North Bend

LNG will harm neighborhood I have been following the housing issue for the Jordan Cove workers that is planned for Simpson Heights, and I have to agree with the residents that it will be a problem for them. There is the increased traffic, of course, but has anyone considered what having that many single people living temporarily

in a large housing unit may be like for noise and other issues? Perhaps people should talk to people in Olympia, Wash., about the influx of workers for the Satsup Nuclear Power Plant back in the 1980s. The men and women were there as temporary workers for some 5 years. Then, when the plant was mothballed, they left, leaving empty apartment buildings and businesses that had opened to serve their needs, suddenly without customers. Simpson Heights will be left with a very large (empty) housing unit that someone (city or private enterprise) will want to fill with people. Since it will be in the inundation zone, you won’t find families who want to live there. So who will fill those units? This housing unit is not a good option for either the people of Simpson Heights, the residents of the Bay Area, or the workers who would live in the inundation zone. Carol Acklin Bandon

Why increase the chaos with LNG? Your July 15 editorial advising your readers to worry more about the earthquake than an LNG plant left me without words. But I have recovered now and respond. What kind of misguided and irresponsible reasoning would have us “worry” about an inevitable catastrophe that we have no control over and neglect doing what we can to stop projects like LNG that will compound the catastrophe? A mega-earthquake will liquefy anything but bedrock. That means the (sand) spit will swallow up the plant, cutting off power and allowing the liquid to heat up and blow. The insane idea for an auto shutdown given by Jordan Cove does not address the super cooled gas processed, merely to cut off power sooner. If the liquid was released like a spill before returning to the natural state of gas it would flow close to ground, across the river to the airport and mall in minutes (kill zone). If it catches a spark (you know how easy that is in a city), it will turn into a river of fire. What kind of emergency equipment or manpower do we have to

respond to that? But why would you listen to me while ignoring the overwhelming science. Are we still promoting that there is no global warming as the coasts fall into the seas and we are ravaged by uncommon storms and deadly heat? Maybe we should all read Ted Sickinger in The Oregonian for a reality check. The World has a saving grace in a reporter that tells it like it is. Thank you Chelsea Davis. Others may do well to get off the Jordan Cove bandwagon. Jan Dilley North Bend

LNG encourages harmful fracking This letter was sent to the secretary of DOE. Dear Mr. Secretary, I just read an article about German government officials’ proposal to place a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing (fracking). The main concern, and one I am paraphrasing here, is that the people of this European country don’t want to sacrifice water for the sake of heating their homes and powering their industries. Germany is a leader in alternate energy transition (solar and wind), so I have respect for their views on this matter. In our country, we are accelerating the practice of fracking to increase supply of natural gas at such a rate that export of the surplus is looking good to investors. I would like to make it clear that I do not think it wise to allow markets to dictate the potential degradation of aquifers for profit. Fracking is sizing up to be a very dirty process, and we are allowing it without first understanding the results to the land, water and air. I am hopeful in the decision of the Department of Energy’s proposal to end the practice of conditionally approving liquefied natural gas (LNG) export applications. In my community of Coos Bay, Ore., where an application is in process to build an LNG facility, this is very much in my mind. There are many other concerns regarding siting an LNG plant here, not least of which is having the plant located essentially on a beach near the Cascadia Subduction Zone, with a 40 percent chance of a

megathrust earthquake event in the next 50 years. My point is the larger issue of going down this road of exporting natural gas that will then encourage further production through fracking. Your own analysis supports this trend. The environmental impacts from fracking must be considered as part of your analysis and should include the evaluation of LNG export facilities. James Fereday Coos Bay

SC Food Share says thanks Many thanks to our community for attending the recent children’s event at the Egyptian Theatre and donating over 100 pounds of food for the hungry families served by the South Coast Food Share! We also received a cash donation of $35, which equates to an additional 245 pounds of food for our hungry families! Laura Hunter Coos Bay

Neighbors live a historic irony Instead of complaining about a future housing development nearby, the residents of Simpson Heights who are complaining should open a history book. They live and own homes on the site of workers’ housing in what was a company town. Deal with it. Danny Stoddard Coos Bay

NATIONAL D I G E S T Ryan to streamline anti-poverty programs WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Paul Ryan proposed a new plan Thursday to merge up to 11 anti-poverty programs into a single grant program for states that he said would allow more flexibility to help lift people out of poverty. Programs that would be merged include food stamps, cash welfare, housing subsidies, and heating aid for the poor, among others. The Wisconsin Republican and 2012 vice presidential nominee is a respected voice within his party. His new “Opportunity Grant” plan would impose work or job training requirements on aid recipients and require states that choose to participate to set up at least two service providers, a move he says would encourage partnerships with locally-based nonprofits and community groups that may better know the needs of their communities.

US unemployment aid applications drop WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits fell last week to its lowest level in more than eight years. Weekly applications for unemployment aid dropped 19,000 to a seasonally adjusted 284,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s the lowest reading since February 2006, nearly two years before the Great Recession began. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, declined 7,250 to 302,000. Claims for jobless aid have been falling for the past three months. Recent reports have coincided with the temporary summer shutdowns of auto plants, yet the impact of those closures is addressed through seasonal adjustments.

FAA lifts ban on US flights to Isreal WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration has lifted its ban on U.S. flights in and out of Israel. The end of the ban, which the agency had imposed out of concern for the risk of planes being hit by Hamas rockets, was effective at 11:45 p.m. EDT Wednesday. “Before making this decision, the FAA worked with its U.S. government counterparts to assess the security situation in Israel and carereviewed both fully significant new information and measures the government of Israel is taking to mitigate potential risks to civil aviation,” the FAA said.

House, Senate advance competing proposals WASHINGTON (AP) — At an impasse on immigration, House Republicans and Senate Democrats advanced competing proposals Wednesday for dealing with tens of thousands of young migrants showing up at the southern border. Each side quickly ruled the other’s approach unacceptable, leaving any solution unclear with Congress’ annual August recess looming. Unless Democrats capitulate, “We’re going to be at an impasse and we will have earned even greater disdain from the American people than we already have,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said.

Colorado gay marriage ban struck, appeal awaits DENVER (AP) — For years, gay rights activists in Colorado repeatedly said it would only be a matter of time before they would be allowed to marry. They repeated that even as they struggled for years to get civil unions passed through the Colorado Legislature. Then, less than a year after civil unions became law here on July 1, 2013, state courts began to topple gay marriage bans across the country, albeit with stays pending appeals to higher courts. On Wednesday, a federal judge in Denver struck a blow to Colorado’s voterapproved gay marriage ban, calling it unconstitutional but issuing a temporary stay to give the state a chance to appeal. The ruling could be another step toward a showdown in the U.S. Supreme Court to settle the question of gay marriage bans once and for all. Judge Raymond P. Moore’s decision was in response to a lawsuit filed July 1 by six gay couples who asked the court for an injunction ordering that the state’s ban no longer be enforced.

US economy, though sluggish, may now be sturdier WASHINGTON (AP) — Out of a seemingly hollow recovery from the Great Recession, a more durable if still slow-growing U.S. economy has emerged. That conclusion, one held by a growing number of economists, might surprise many people. After all, in the five years since the recession officially ended, Americans’ pay has basically stagnated. Millions remain unemployed or have abandoned their job searches. Economic growth is merely plodding along. Yet as the economy has slowly healed, analysts say it has replaced some critical

weaknesses with newfound strengths. Among the trends: — Fewer people are piling up credit card debt or taking on risky mortgages. This should make growth more sustainable and avoid a cycle of extreme booms and busts. — Banks are more profitable and holding additional cash to help protect against a repeat of the 2008 market meltdown. — More workers hold advanced degrees.

— Inflation is under control. Runaway price increases would be destructive. Low inflation can lay a foundation for growth. — Millions who have reached retirement age are staying on the job. This lessens the economic drag from retiring baby boomers and helps sustain consumer spending. Over the long run, such trends could help produce a sturdier economy, one less prone to the kind of runaway growth that often ends in a steep and sudden slump. The downside? At least in the short term, these same

trends have prevented the economy from accelerating. When consumers borrow and spend less freely, for example, they restrain growth. And when people seek to work longer or become more educated, often there aren’t enough jobs for all of them, at least not right away. People with advanced degrees can often find lowerpaying jobs that don’t require much education. But when they do, they tend to push some people with only a high school education into unemployment.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — President Barack Obama is tapping into growing misgivings about tax-driven overseas mergers by U.S. corporations, issuing a new call to end the practice quickly and questioning the patriotism and citizenship of those companies.

He put his ruling temporarily on hold, however, giving Colorado Republican Attorney General John Suthers until Aug. 25 to seek a stay from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, or from the U.S. Supreme Court.

The excuse was, “Well, the wedding was at the beach.” The pre-dinner and dancing were inside a high-end resort on the beach. The dog was taken inside these establishments. After a guest — a family member of the dog's owner — asked the owner to remove the animal because the occasion was not about DEAR her and her dog but the bride and g ro o m ’s day, the owner put the dog in a carrying case and the d o g returned to JEANNE the wedPHILLIPS ding for the rest of the night. Only this one couple made an issue of it and they weren’t in the wedding party, but relations of the dog owner. What do you think? — DOGGONE DISGUSTED DEAR DOGGONE DISGUSTED: The rule of etiquette states that nothing should distract attention from the happy couple — and especially the bride — at the wedding. However, IF the dog owner had first asked for and received permission to bring the animal to the festivities, then it wasn’t rude and the relatives of the dog owner were wrong to intervene. DEAR ABBY: We were recently at dinner with longtime friends whose political views are different from ours. I believe in the rule of etiquette about avoiding the topics of politics and religion in mixed company. Well, somehow the conversation turned political. Voices were raised and I stood up and ended it. There are now many hurt feelings with the parties involved still disagreeing about what happened and how it was handled. I know my actions were extreme, but things were out of control and I was upset. How do I deal with this if we are invited to future events? — KEEPING THE PEACE DEAR KEEPING THE PEACE: You may be worrying needlessly, because you may not be invited to future events — at least until the next election is over. Whatever your friends were arguing about, while you had a right to speak up and say it was making you uncomfortable, because your reaction was “extreme,” you may have been as rude as the others. If you caused hurt feelings that evening, you should apologize, if you haven’t already. DEAR ABBY: A sibling died recently and I have received numerous sympathy messages in the form of cards, gifts and online posts. Do the people who send them typically expect a response? I feel a little overwhelmed with the amount of attention, and I worry that they’ll think I’m not appreciative if I don’t respond in kind. What is your advice? — GRIEVING BUT GRATEFUL DEAR GRIEVING BUT GRATEFUL: Their kindness should be acknowledged. To those who sent gifts and cards, a short note saying how much their support meant during this difficult time would be a gracious response. The online condolences could be handled with one email “blast” conveying the same thing, which shouldn’t be offensive to those who sent their sympathy that way.

World 60 killed in attack on prisoner convoy BAGHDAD (AP) — Gunmen attacked a prisoner convoy north of Baghdad on Thursday, setting off a gunbattle with troops in which 52 prisoners and eight soldiers were killed, officials said. The attack came as Iraq’s parliament was set to elect a president, part of a troubled political transition that has seen repeated delays despite the lightning advance of Sunni militants across much of northern and western Iraq last month. U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon The Associated Press arrived in Baghdad earlier Indians stand on top of a bus that was crushed when a train crashed into it in Medak district in the southern Thursday to encourage lawIndian state of Telangana on Thursday. makers to form a more inclusive government that can address the crisis.

18 children, 1 man die in train-bus crash in India

HYDERABAD, India (AP) — Eighteen children were killed Thursday when a train crashed into their school bus at an unmanned railroad crossing in southern India, police said. The bus driver also died while another 20 children ages 7 to 14 were injured and hospitalized, 15 of them in critical condition, said Telangana state education minister G. Jagdishwar Reddy. They were on their way to school Thursday morning when the train hit the bus,

dragging it several hundred feet (about 100 meters) along the tracks, according to the Hindustan Times newspaper. Hundreds of angry villagers rushed to the scene in Medak district, 95 kilometers (60 miles) north of Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana state. Some of them hurled stones at police as shocked parents grieved their loss. A father who lost both of his children suffered a heart attack and died after hearing the news of the collision,

said state Irrigation Minister T. Harish Rao. Accidents are common on India’s railroad network, one of the world’s largest with 23 million people riding daily on about 11,000 passenger trains. Most accidents are blamed on poor maintenance and human error. There are hundreds of unmanned crossings across the country, especially in remote areas. Poor finances limit efforts by rail authorities to staff the dangerous crossings around the clock.

Iraq elects Kurdish politician as president BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi lawmakers elected a veteran Kurdish politician as the nation’s new president on Thursday, hours after an attack on a prison convoy killed dozens of people, bruunderscoring the tally challenges faced by the country’s leaders as they struggle to form a new government. The 76-year-old Fouad Massoum, one of the

founders of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan party led by Iraq’s previous President Jalal Talabani, accepted the mostly ceremonial position after winning two-thirds of the votes in parliament, noting the “huge security, political and economic tasks” facing the next government. Massoum’s election comes as Iraq is facing its worst crisis since the 2011 withdrawal

of U.S. troops amid the blitz offensive last month by alQaida breakaway Islamic State group that captured large swaths of land in the country’s west and north, including Iraq’s second largest city of Mosul. The militants have also seized a huge chunk of territory straddling the Iraq-Syria border, and have declared a self-styled caliphate in the territory they control.

Air Algerie plane disappears from radar ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — An Air Algerie flight from

Burkina Faso to Algiers has disappeared from radar on a flight from Burkina Faso to Algiers, the official Algerian news agency said Thursday. Air navigation services lost track of the plane 50 minutes after takeoff early Thursday, last sited at 0155 GMT, the agency said.

outside, Palestinian officials said, as Israel pressed forward with its 17-day war against the territory’s Hamas rulers. Pools of blood stained the school courtyard in the northern town of Beit Hanoun, amid scattered books and belongings. There was a large scorch mark in the courtyard marking the place where one of the tank shells hit. Dozens of people, including children were wheeled into a nearby hospital as sirens wailed.

AIRPORT May get service to Los Angeles Continued from Page A1 the regional operator for Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and sometimes Alaska Airlines. SeaPort provides service to and from Portland, regularly carrying passengers making their way to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. “Whoever we’d go after for air service, SkyWest would be the provider,” Cook said. “That said, we do have some things on the horizon I’m not able to speak publicly about because airline negotiations are not public until they are announced. If one airline knows what another is going to do before they do it, it’s kind of like in the stock market where people do insider trading because they know what’s going to happen.” The airport is “working

closely” with SkyWest and Seaport to expand air service, she said, and a Small Community Air Service Development Program grant could help the airport leverage expanded service to California. “Right now, we have a 5050 chance to get that through LAX or another city in midCalifornia or the Southern California area,” she said. “For instance, LAX is predominantly the traffic that comes through San Francisco to get here.” Oregon Southwest Regional Airport is one of two in southwestern Oregon that received FAA Airport Improvement Program grants this week. The city of Roseburg also received $1.3 million to repair apron and pavement at taxiway Roseburg Regional Airport.

agement consulting firm. As a result, agency leaders have decided to “reset” the program in an effort to save it, the report said. As part of that effort, Social Security brought in the outside consultants from McKinsey to figure out what went wrong. They found a massive technology initiative with no one in charge — no single person responsible for completing the project. They issued their report in June, though it was not publicly released. As part of McKinsey’s recommendations, Acting Social

Commissioner Security Carolyn Colvin appointed Terrie Gruber to oversee the project last month. Gruber had been an assistant deputy commissioner. “We asked for this, this independent look, and we weren’t afraid to hear what the results are,” Gruber said in an interview Wednesday. “We are absolutely committed to deliver this initiative and by implementing the recommendations we obtained independently, we think we have a very good prospect on doing just that.”

that e-cigarettes are “the healthy kind of cigarette.” Several commissioners said they support the idea of a local ordinance that would ban sales of e-cigarettes to minors. The state Legislature considered a statewide ban on such sales this year, but it didn’t pass because of disagreements about tying it to other new restrictions on e-

cigarettes. Many retailers testified at the time that they don’t sell e-cigarettes to minors anyway, even though they legally can do so. “The place the Legislature fell down is that they didn’t at least pass something that prohibited sales to minors,” said Commissioner Jay Bozievich. “That’s something we could do.”

EXECUTION Continued from Page A1 Department of Corrections Director Charles Ryan. Defense lawyer Dale Baich called it a botched execution that should have taken 10 minutes. “Arizona appears to have joined several other states who have been responsible for an entirely preventable horror — a bungled execution,” Baich said. “The public should hold its officials responsible and demand to make this process more transparent.” The case has highlighted scrutiny surrounding lethal injections after two controversial ones. An Ohio inmate executed in January snorted and gasped during the 26 minutes it took him to die. In Oklahoma, an inmate died of a heart attack in April, minutes after prison officials halted his execution because the drugs weren’t being administered properly.

Inclusion can’t be a bad thing It’s been a great summer for baseball on the South Coast, and several cities can celebrate. The South Coast’s 15-year-old and 13-year-old Babe Ruth allstar teams both advanced to the Pacific Northwest Regional tournaments. Meanwhile, both of the area’s American Legion teams also are in the postseason. The Three Rivers Sandblasters, which play at the AAA level, compete in a super regional tournament at Roseburg this weekend for a chance to play in the state tournament at Grants Pass. And North Coos will be in the Legion A State Tournament at Medford, after winning the Area 4 North Division title. All the local teams have had contributions from several different communities. Players from five high schools were on the field for the second win in Monday’s doubleheader against the Roseburg Umpqua Lions, a victory that clinched the division title. As I watched the game, I ended up in a Twitter conversation SPORTS with a gentleman in the Roseburg area. I realized right away he was unhappy that North Coos had claimed the league title, primarily because the cast includes JOHN three players GUNTHER who graduated this spring — Hunter Jackson of North Bend, Robert Martino of Bandon and Victor Lahr of Marshfield. In various terms, he said it was convenient that North Coos was using players who were done with high school while several of the other teams in the league restrict their rosters to players still eligible for their high school teams next year. And he didn’t like my reasoning that it was fine for the trio to play because it’s allowed in the rules. He even suggested that North Coos intentionally holds some players back from the Three Rivers team so that the Waterfront can be the best A-level team in the league. One of his biggest zingers when he was convinced I wasn’t sympathetic: “All unicorns and rainbows on the south coast. Don’t expect you to see it from the other side ... why should you even care.” I don’t think he realized that I do care — just not the way I think he cares (in the win-loss column). To me, summer baseball is about improving, having fun and getting an opportunity to play. Victories are great, and I’m thrilled for North Coos. What a treat to get to go play on a fabulous field and see how you stack up against the other teams from the state. But the biggest point I made to him is if a player wants to play, they should be given the opportunity as long as they are eligible. Could the oldest North Coos players help Three Rivers? Probably. But playing for a team in Florence isn’t convenient, especially if you live in Bandon and have a job like Martino. It’s not the first time players who have graduated have played for North Coos. And, as I found out with a quick roster check, the Roseburg Umpqua Lions have a couple of recent graduates, too, and there’s one on the Grants Pass Miners squad. But North Coos also has a number of players who were freshmen or sophomores this school year. It’s not like the team is trotting out a lineup dominated by graduates. Summer baseball is when players can make great strides for the next season. Clearly, North Coos head coach Brad Horning has helped his own North Bend squad through the American Legion program. But he’s also always welcomed the players from other schools and helped them develop, too. Next summer, some of the North Coos players might graduate up to the Three Rivers roster. The players from the 15-year-old team that will play in the regional tournament at Baker City might be competing for spots in the North Coos lineup. And if one or two of the players who are seniors this coming year want to come back and play for North Coos, I say great.

“That’s all I ever wanted, just rodeo. That’s been my goal since I was little and it’s the same now, just rodeo for a living.” Brayden Schmitt, team roping competitor

Competitions across the state

Playful Pole wins Tour stage, as Nibali marches on PLA D’ADET, France (AP) — On the last of four Pyrenees ascents, Rafal Majka winked at a French TV camera and tugged playfully at a motorcycle’s antenna. Even this late in the Tour de France, the Polish rider made winning look easy as he took Stage 17 on Wednesday. For Vincenzo Nibali, the second ride in the mountains on France’s border with Spain was more serious. “The Shark” nibbled yet more seconds away from several of his closest challengers, and the yellow jersey that he has worn for all but two days of the race seemed to fit just a little more tightly ahead of the finish Sunday in Paris. Nibali was even businesslike with his own prime minister, imploring him not to get too ahead of himself in celebration. “It’s true that I received a text message from Matteo Renzi, who

invited me to Chigi Palace to celebrate my victory,” the cautious Sicilian said about the premier’s official residence. “I replied that only after winning — if I do so — I’ll be able to say that I’ll be present.” The 77-mile trek Wednesday was the shortest stage in this year’s Tour. It covered three hard Category 1 ascents from SaintGaudens and a final push up to Pla d’Adet ski station above the town of Saint-Lary-Soulan. Majka, who also won Stage 14 in the Alps, again showed he’s the best climber in this Tour and tightened his grip on the polka dot jersey awarded to the race’s King of the Mountains. Giovanni Visconti got the action going on the last climb with a solo breakaway with about 5 1/2 miles left, but could not hold off Majka. Visconti, who also is Sicilian, was second, 29 seconds back, and Nibali

was third, 46 seconds behind. With a last Pyrenean day ahead Thursday, Majka could ensure that he takes the red-dot jersey home. His closest rival for it when the stage started was Spain’s Joaquim Rodriguez, who swatted the air in frustration at Majka when the Pole broke away on the last climb. Majka said he felt “comfort” in the last five kilometers in part because he’d been saving up energy a day earlier by riding easier. He finished in a bunch 24 1/2 minutes behind Australian teammate Michael Rogers, who won Stage 16. By Wednesday, “I felt really, really good in the last climb,” Majka said, after tapping his chest, thrusting his arms skyward and shouting in joy at the victory. “For me, when there are a lot of climbs, it’s the best.” Nibali gained just under a minute on four of his closest rivals.

Second-placed Alejandro Valverde of Spain, who made a valiant recovery on the last ascent to avoid even more damage, now trails by 5 minute, 26 seconds. The exception was JeanChristophe Peraud of France, who hugged closely on the leader’s back wheel and finished fourth. With his performance, the 37-year-old Frenchman made it an even closer race for the podium spots. He is fourth overall, 6:08 behind Nibali, but just eight seconds slower than fellow Frenchman Thibaut Pinot, in third. American Tejay van Garderen, in sixth, also lost about a minute to Nibali and trails by 10:19. It came a day after his hopes for a podium spot were dealt a big blow when he lost several minutes to the other aspirants for a top-three finish in Paris. “Yesterday was a pity, it was an

off day,” the BMC leader said. A podium spot is still possible, he added, “but it will be hard.” Stage 18’s finale in the Pyrenees takes the pack on a 90-mile loop from Pau to Hautacam, featuring two ascents that are so hard that they defy cycling’s ranking system — one of them an uphill finish. Then it’s a flat stage heading northward Friday before an individual time-trial a day later, and then what’s likely to be the largely ceremonial ride for the yellow jersey in Stage 21 on Sunday to the Champs-Elysees in Paris for the finish of the race’s 101st edition. While well-positioned to be in yellow then, Nibali was still attacking Wednesday. “I preferred to go and gain a few more seconds and to be even more serene, just in case something could happen,” he said.

American wins 100 at junior worlds EUGENE (AP) — Incoming Florida State freshman Kendal Williams won the 100 meters at the IAAF world junior championships at Oregon’s Hayward Field on Wednesday night, besting fellow American Trayvon Bromell. Williams finished in a personal-best 10.21 seconds, and Bromell followed at 10.28. Williams’ gold was the first for the United States at the international track and field event. “It was the best race I’ve ever had in my life,” Williams told reporters afterward. Bromell, a freshman at Baylor, set the junior world record in the 100 at the NCAA track and field championships last month, breaking the 10-second barrier with a 9.97 finish. Dina Asher-Smith of Britain won the women’s 100 in 11.23 seconds. Florida high school junior Kaylin Whitney was third in 11.45. In other finals, Anezka Drahotova of the Czech Republic won the 10,000 race walk in a world junior-record 42:47.25. Countryman Jiri Sykora won the decathlon with 8,135 points, a junior worlds record. Britain’s Morgan Lake won the youth heptathlon with 6,148 points. The 17-yearold athlete was the youngest in the field. Ethiopia’s Alemitu Heroye won the women’s 5,000 in 15:10.08.

Under the drug agreement between MLB and its players’ union, 25 games is the penalty for a second positive amphetamine test. A first positive results only in six unannounced The Associated Press follow-up tests over the next year.

Roma wins Fenway match BOSTON (AP) — Marco Borrilleo scored in the 90th minute to give Roma a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in an exhibition game Wednesday night at Fenway Park. There were limited chances until Borriello volleyed in a corner kick from in front. “Both teams played with young players,” Roma coach Rudi Garcia said via a translator. “I am quite happy with the development we had.” For the second time in three years, Fenway, the home of the Boston Red Sox, was transformed into the home of Liverpool, which is owned by Fenway Sports Group. John Henry, owner of the Red Sox, also is the controlling partner of Fenway Sports Group. Roma beat Liverpool 2-1 at Fenway two years ago. “It’s the second time in the last couple of years,” Liverpool coach Brendan

Rodgers said. “It was a great atmosphere. The support was great. I think it was for both — fantastic. For a preseason game, it was a very, very good game.” Roma is owned by Boston Celtics minority owner Jim Pallotta. Roma goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski made a diving save near the post on Rickie Lambert’s kick from just outside the box in the 57th minute. Roma seemed to have the territorial edge in the first half and Liverpool a slight edge in the second in a match that had just a handful of shots on goal. There was limited contact until Liverpool’s Adam Phillips was given a yellow card late in the match. Liverpool sat a number of its star players, including captain Steven Gerrard, but the mostly red-clad crowd didn’t seem to mind.

“It’s going to be great for me to see our young players gain experience,” Rodgers said. Fans entering the park on a steamy night with temperatures in the mid-80s could walk through gates — on either end of Yawkey Way — with a sign above that read: “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” which is a reference to the club’s anthem. It had the flavor of a match at Anfield. Bagpipers played outside the 102-year old park about 2 1/2 hours before the match and the team’s official souvenir store, usually stocked with white home jerseys with the names and numbers on the backs that read: “Ortiz 34,” “Lester 31” or “Pedroia 15” were out of sight in a section that was transformed into a gift shop for Liverpool items. There, the walls were filled with red jerseys of “Gerrard 8,” “Coutinho 10” and “Sturridge 15.”

The team announced her decision Wednesday. Hammon is the Stars’ career leader in assists, points per game, and 3-pointers made. The 37-year-old Hammon is a sixtime All-Star who ranks seventh in WNBA history in points (5,756), second in threepoint field goals made (817), fourth in assists (1,663), sixth in games played (440) and first in free-throw percentage (89.6 percent, minimum 300 attempts).

FOOTBALL

Jim Brown sues for 1964 title ring NEW YORK (AP) — Hall of Fame football star Jim Brown — running out of time to retrieve his 1964 NFL championship ring — has sued a memorabilia dealer. The 78-year-old Los Angeles resident filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Manhattan federal court against Lelands.com and Lelands Collectibles Inc. The lawsuit seeks to halt the sale of the ring in an online auction that ends Friday. It also seeks unspecified damages over broadcast remarks that Lelands’ founder, Joshua Evans, made about Brown. Evans said Wednesday that Brown’s claims “are entirely without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them.” According to the lawsuit, the ring was stolen from Brown’s Cleveland home in the late 1960s and the robbery was reported to police. The lawsuit also accuses Evans of making statements in print and broadcast interviews in recent weeks that implied Brown has diminished mental capacity as a result of taking thousands of hits as a football player. On at least one broadcast, though, Evans could be heard describing Brown as the greatest football player of all time and saying Brown was aware that a family member had sold the ring in the 1990s. The lawsuit said the ring is priceless to the former Cleveland Browns player. The highest bid was $58,948 Wednesday afternoon.

New York Mets starting pitcher Bartolo Colon throws against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday in Seattle.

Colon perfect into the 7th against Mariners SEATTLE (AP) — Bartolo Colon came within seven outs of a perfect game, giving up a single to Robinson Cano with two outs in the seventh inning, and the New York Mets held off a late rally to beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Wednesday. The 41-year-old Colon retired the first 20 batters he faced before Cano lined a 2-2 pitch into left field. Colon (9-8) improved to 13-1 all-time at Safeco Field. Seattle had no answers for the rotund right-hander, who gave up two runs and three hits in 7 1-3 innings. Taijuan Walker (1-2) walked six and struck out five in his first start in the majors since July 7. Tigers 11, Diamondbacks 5: Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run homer, Austin Jackson a three-run double and the Tigers wore out the Diamondbacks in a slugfest. Detroit roughed up Trevor Cahill (17), going up 7-0 after four innings behind Jackson’s big hit and three RBIs by MLB Alex Avila. Arizona clawed its Recap way back against Anibal Sanchez (74), scoring three runs off him in the fifth and two more over the next two innings. Didi Gregorius homered and had two RBIs for the Diamondbacks. Twins 3, Indians 1: Anthony Swarzak pitched five sharp innings in a fill-in start, Oswaldo Arcia homered and the Twins beat Cleveland. Danny Santana scored after two of his three hits for the Twins, and five relievers totaled six strikeouts over four scoreless innings. When Kyle Gibson developed a sore back the day before, Swarzak (2-0) was summoned from the bullpen to replace him in the rotation. He threw 75 pitches and allowed just two hits and one walk while striking out three. Royals 2, White Sox 1: Mike Moustakas scored the tiebreaking run in the top of the ninth inning when White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers couldn’t handle a throw home, and Kansas City beat Chicago 2-1 in the rubber game of a three-game series. Moustakas triggered the decisive rally with a lead-off single off Zach Putnam (3-2), the last of four White Sox pitchers. Alcides Escobar bunted Moustakas over before Nori Aoki flared a single to center field. Adam Eaton’s strong throw beat Moustakas to the plate, but Flowers lost control of the ball when the runner slid into him. Rockies 6, Nationals 4: Jorge De La Rosa struck out a season-high 11 as he pitched efficiently into the eighth inning and the wobbly Colorado bullpen held off Washington’s late rally, helping the Rockies snap a seven-game. LaTroy Hawkins got out of a bases loaded jam in the ninth to protect De La Rosa’s fine effort. De La Rosa (11-6) was one strikeout away from matching his career high set

CAMP Finish with scrimmages From Page B1 third year participating in the camp, and even though he has a pretty good idea of what to expect, he still realizes the challenge of these semi-double days. “It’s really hard,” Wagner said. “It’s definitely intense. More intense than any prac-

in 2009. The hard-throwing lefty allowed two runs — one earned — before being lifted for a reliever with one out in the eighth. Brewers 5, Reds 1: Mark Reynolds homered twice and the Brewers completed a three-game sweep of the Reds. Kyle Lohse pitched 6 2-3 innings to hand the Reds their sixth straight loss since the All-Star break. Lohse (11-4) walked two, struck out three and allowed four hits. Yankees 2, Rangers 1, 5 innings: Brett Gardner hit a tiebreaking homer off All-Star ace Yu Darvish, and New York won the rain-shortened game called in the fifth inning under bizarre circumstances. David Phelps (5-4) pitched out of a jam just before the storm, and Francisco Cervelli doubled twice to help the Yankees win for the fifth time in six games on a 10-game homestand. Play was halted with one out in the bottom of the fifth, and the game was called after a delay of 1 hour, 49 minutes. It appeared the teams were ready to resume at one point, but managers Joe Girardi and Ron Washington expressed concern about the dangers of a soft, wet field. After much discussion, a light rain returned and the tarp was put back on the field. Less than 10 minutes later, the game was stopped for good — giving the Yankees the victory. Pirates 6, Dodgers 1: Josh Harrison had two hits with two RBIs and Pittsburgh jumped on Dan Haren early in the win. Harrison’s two-run double capped a four-run outburst in the first against Haren (8-8). Pittsburgh has won five of six since the All-Star break to move a season-high seven games over .500 (5447). Travis Snider added two hits, including his fifth homer, for the Pirates. Francisco Liriano (2-7) allowed one run and four hits over seven innings to pick up his first victory since May 30. Giants 3, Phillies 1: Hunter Pence drove in all of San Francisco’s runs with a double in the ninth and Madison Bumgarner pitched eight scoreless innings. Bumgarner (12-7) gave up five hits while striking out six and walking none in a pitchers’ duel with A.J. Burnett. It was the sixth win in seven games for first-place San Francisco, which moved two games ahead of Los Angeles in the NL West. The Phillies managed just seven hits. They lost their fourth straight and seventh of eight. Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 4: Jose Bautista homered and drove in two runs and R.A. Dickey won for the first time in three starts for Toronto. Bautista hit an RBI double in the first inning and added a leadoff homer in the seventh, his first since July 2. David Ortiz hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox, his fourth in three games, but Boston lost its second straight after winning the previous five.

tice I’ve been through.” The teams have a simple routine. They have two 90minute practices — one in the morning and one in the afternoon— before they get to the really fun stuff; the scrimmages. Each team finishes off the session with both offense and defense getting a seven-minute running clock to stuff full of plays. The 14 total minutes of game time per scrimmage gives each squad about 40 snaps.

Ortiz’s 455th homer tied him with Adam Dunn of the Chicago White Sox for 35th on the career list. The three RBIs gave Ortiz 1,501 for his career, making him the 53rd player in major league history with 1,500 or more. Braves 6, Marlins 1: Freddie Freeman hit a three-run homer and Ervin Santana won his second straight start for Atlanta. Freeman, an All-Star first baseman, broke out of a slump in the season series against the Marlins, ending a 2-for-44 stretch by hitting his 14th homer as the Braves took a 5-0 lead in the four-run third inning. Santana (9-6) won for third time in four starts, giving up six hits and one run with three walks and 10 strikeouts in 7 1-3 innings. Rays 3, Cardinals 0: Alex Cobb struck out 10 and drove in a run with his first major league hit, leading Tampa Bay to its seventh straight win. Cobb (6-6) blanked the Cardinals on five hits over seven innings. It was the fourth time he has thrown at least seven innings without an earned run this season. Cobb missed 50 games last season with a concussion after he was hit near the right ear by a line drive off the bat of Kansas City’s Eric Hosmer. The Rays have won 25 of their last 36 games and are 13-4 in July. Padres 8, Cubs 3: Tommy Medica hit a go-ahead RBI double in the fifth inning and Ian Kennedy pitched six strong innings for San Diego. Kennedy (8-9) won his third straight decision. He allowed three runs and three hits, while striking out six and pitching around a season-high five walks. He worked out of a bases loaded jam in the fifth inning. Medica finished with three hits and drove in two runs for the Padres, who came into the game with baseball’s worst batting average at .215. Angels 3, Orioles 2: Kole Calhoun drew a bases-loaded walk from reliever Brian Matusz in the eighth inning after a tying RBI double by Erick Aybar for Los Angeles. Jered Weaver (11-6) allowed two runs and six hits through eight innings, striking out six and walking none before the Angels recorded their major leaguebest 31st come-from-behind win. Huston Street pitched a hitless ninth for his first save since joining the Angels last Friday in a trade with the San Diego Padres. Athletics 9, Astros 7:Oakland’s Yoenis Cespedes homered twice and tied a career high with five RBIs before leaving with an apparent right thumb injury. Cespedes hit a three-run homer in the second inning and a two-run shot in the fourth off Brad Peacock (3-7), his 15th and 16th this season. Cespedes was replaced in left field with the A’s leading 8-1 in the seventh. But the Astros almost pulled off an improbable comeback, scoring five runs in the eighth before the back of Oakland’s bullpen shut them down.

“Short and sweet,” Prince said. “We want to play football but keep it realistic, they’re not in great shape, so seven minutes is a good balance for them.” The way the week at camp operates makes bonding essential. Between practices the kids go swimming, bowling and eat meals together. Dallas stayed at the North Bend mat room and Newberg stayed in the North Bend middle school gym, most counting sheep in sleeping bags, air mattresses and cots

on the floor. BrookingsHarbor stayed in the North Bend gym before leaving after lunch. Even North Bend stayed on campus in the sophomore hall classrooms. It makes the process of getting to know new teammates like Newberg’s transfer from Aloha, Alonzo Miles, effortless. Newberg plays some basketball in the gym in its down time, but the focus mostly is geared toward football. “It’s kind of like a little

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jonathan Duncan understands that a perfect NCAA enforcement division won’t catch every cheater in college sports. He still believes his team is getting the job done. Two days after Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby called the NCAA enforcement system overwhelmed and “broken,” the NCAA’s top cop fired back by defending his staff ’s work and acknowledging the impossible mission of policing more than 1,200 schools. Yes, sometimes, teams or schools might get away with breaking the rules for a while, Duncan said, but eventually most are caught. “We don’t pretend to be able to catch every violation in any given year,” Duncan told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “So the next question is, do we have a handle on it, and the answer is yes, I think we do. The people who violate the rules will be found out and we will report them back to the committee on infractions.” Duncan took over the enforcement division on an interim basis in March 2013 when the department was embroiled in its own embarrassing scandal. An internal investigation found the NCAA improperly collected evidence against the University of Miami, which led to the ouster of Julie Roe Lach. Duncan took over a department that was losing experienced investigators and saw morale wane as it came under intense public criticism — criticism that hasn’t diminished and has lately included leaders like Bowlsby, a former athletic director at Iowa and Stanford. Bowlsby put NCAA enforcement back in the spotlight Monday when he suggested the lack of highprofile cases over the past year are indicative of the problems within the current system. “Enforcement is broken,” he said. “The infractions committee hasn’t had a hearing in almost a year, and I think it’s not an understatement to say cheating pays presently.” He added about the NCAA: “They’re in a battle

with a BB gun in their hand. They’re fighting howitzers.” Duncan, an attorney whose private practice work included representing the NCAA, said statistics show roughly 20 schools are formally charged with major infractions each year — and he expects this year’s number to hit 21. In addition, Duncan said investigators have looked into roughly 5,000 secondary infractions, a record. Numbers only tell part of the story. A year after NCAA President Mark Emmert boasted that tougher penalties had “upped the ante” on schools and coaches doing risk-reward analyses when it came to cheating, Duncan said the perceived slowdown in major cases in Division I is a result of an increased caseload in Divisions II and III and investigators’ attempts to focus on more complex allegations that threaten the current collegiate model. He also said schools are going to greater lengths to avoid punishment and that it’s difficult to obtain evidence when third parties are not compelled to testify. The NCAA lacks subpoena power. Duncan still expects the logjam to be broken next year when he estimates the infractions committee could hear an average of one major case per month. While Bowlsby declined to comment further on the issue again Wednesday, Gerald Gurney, president of The Drake Group, an NCAA watchdog, didn’t hold back. He said the NCAA relies far too much on media reports and competing schools to do the legwork on investigations, and suggested outsourcing investigations could speed things up. “Bob Bowlsby says the enforcement unit is broken and my reaction is, ‘Duh, of course, it took you that long to figure it out?”’ Gurney said. “If we’re interested in fairness, it starts with giving schools and individuals real due process. Right now, once you get a notice of inquiry, you’re presumed guilty and we’ve seen schools fire coaches regularly without due process. People don’t have much confidence in this (system).”

Chiefs, running back reach deal KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles has agreed to a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs announced the deal Wednesday night. The two-year extension runs through the 2017 season, a person familiar with the contract said. The six-year NFL veteran ran for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns last year to help the Chiefs reach the playoffs. He also had 70 catches for 693 yards and seven more TDs as Kansas City went 11-5 before losing to Indianapolis in an AFC wild-card game. “Jamaal is an elite player in the National Football League,” Chiefs General Manager John Dorsey said in a statement released by the team. “It was important for us to keep him here in Kansas City long-term.” Charles was expected to take part in the first practice

scheduled for Thursday. “I had no intention on holding out,” Charles tweeted. “I just ran out of gas on the way to camp and my cellphone battery died. It was a long walk I tell ya.” Charles comes off a season with career highs in yards from scrimmage (1,980), rushing touchdowns, total touchdowns, receptions, receiving yards and receiving TDs. Charles’ earned a base salary of $1.75 million in 2013, according to NFLPA records. He was set to earn a base salary of $2.65 million, which ranked 11th among NFL running backs, before the contract extension. Various media reports, including from NFL.com and ESPN, put Charles’ two-year extension at $18 million. With Charles secured through 2017, the Chiefs can shift focus to quarterback Alex Smith and outside linebacker Justin Houston.

vacation, but it’s just not very fun,” Newberg linebacker Andrew Creighton said. “It’s a lot of football. “It’s more work than play.” This year was Dallas’ second year making the nearly five hour trip to the South Coast. For Dallas’ state honorable mention linebacker Spencer McCarron, he knows the trip should be a lot more than a vacation. “It’s business to us,” senior McCarron said. “We come here to get better. We have swimming and bowling after

this, but when we’re on the field, it’s business. We’re not here to lollygag around.” All in all, the camp’s purpose isn’t about finding standouts and getting a comprehensive scouting report. It’s too early for that. The week is simply a jumping off point to get the players’ football juices flowing for the season. “They came here this week to compete,” Prince said. “It’s all you can ask for from them.”

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Roman philosopher, statesman and dramatist, said, “Life’s like a play: it’s not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.” A bridge deal is often not like a play, because it is the length (of a suit) that matters. In this example, how should South plan the play in four hearts after West leads the club queen? South, with two aces and 11 points, was right to open one heart, not two hearts. North’s jump to four hearts was aggressive. A game-invita-

tional three hearts would have been normal. But South would surely have passed and ruined the play ... er, column. South starts with four losers: one spade, one diamond and two clubs. He has nine winners: six hearts, two diamonds and one club. His only realistic chance is to establish dummy’s spade suit. For that, he needs to find the spades splitting 4-3 and to have four dummy entries: three for spade ruffs in his hand and one to get back to the dummy (after drawing trumps) to cash the 13th spade. South must act immediately, winning the first trick with his club ace and leading his spade. Let’s assume East takes the trick, cashes his club king, and plays his last club. West wins and shifts to a diamond. Declarer wins in the dummy, ruffs a spade, plays a low heart to dummy’s 10, ruffs a spade high, leads another trump to dummy’s king, ruffs a third spade, and cashes the heart ace. When everything passes off perfectly, South leads a diamond to dummy and cashes the remaining spade, discarding his last diamond. Excellent!

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF OBJECT OF COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR RELIEF Umpqua filed this action for the judicial foreclosure of a deed of trust executed by Jeff Ray Jeffs, as grantor, in favor of Sterling Savings Bank (“Sterling”), as beneficiary, that was recorded on July 30, 2007, as Instrument No. 2007-9950 in the official real property records of Coos County, Oregon (the “Trust Deed”). The Trust Deed encumbers real property commonly known as 63505 2nd Street Loop, Coos Bay, Oregon (the “Real Property”). The Trust Deed secures repayment of a promissory note executed and delivered by Mr. Jeffs to Sterling on or about July 19, 2007, in the principal amount of $43,000 (the “Note”). Umpqua, as successor in interest by merger to Sterling, is the sole owner and holder of the Note and the Trust Deed. Defaults exist under the Note and Trust Deed that remain uncured.
