COOS BAY — A new proposal would allow the Jordan Cove Energy Project to pull out of the Community Enhancement Plan any time after the plan’s sevenyear mark. The CEP work group pored over a second draft of an agreement between Jordan Cove and the four Bay Area Enterprise Zone sponsors Monday afternoon. If Jordan Cove gets the go-ahead and if the four sponsor entities each approve a long-term rural enterprise zone property tax exemption, Jordan Cove wouldn’t

have to pay property taxes for 19 years. Instead, it’s proposed the liquefied natural gas export company would pay a community service fee during that same time period. But new language in the proposed agreement shows that if Jordan Cove chooses to “do nothing” after seven years into the plan, its property tax exemption would not be renewed, halting community service fee payments from that point forward. In the first draft agreement, Jordan Cove would have been locked into those payments for the full 15 years of the enterprise zone property tax exemption.

“JCEP shall have the option to renew the property tax exemption on an annual basis at the end of the seven-year term set out by this paragraph,” according to the proposed agreement. Work group member John Sweet said the change came from a discussion between Oregon International Port of Coos Bay CEO David Koch and Jordan Cove. The agreement was drafted by North Bend City Attorney Mike Stebbins. The work group decided Jordan Cove would have to give the four sponsors at least 120 days’ notice SEE CEP | A8

35 percent face debt collectors

INSIDE

WASHINGTON — More than 35 percent of Americans have debts and unpaid bills that have been reported to collection agencies, according to a study released Tuesday by the Urban Institute. These consumers fall behind on credit cards or hospital bills. Their mortgages, auto loans or student debt pile up, unpaid. Even pastdue gym membership fees or cellphone contracts can end up with a collection agency, potentially hurting credit scores and job prospects, said Caroline Ratcliffe, a senior fellow at the Washingtonbased think tank. “Roughly, every third person you pass on the street is going to have debt in collections,” Ratcliffe said. “It can tip employers’ hiring decisions, or whether or not you get that apartment.” The study found that 35.1 percent of people with credit records had been reported to collections for debt that averaged $5,178, based on September 2013 records. The study

Southern, Western states have most delinquent debt points to a disturbing trend: The share of Americans in collections has remained relatively constant, even as the country as a whole has whittled down the size of its credit card debt since the official end of the Great Recession in mid 2009. As a share of people’s income, credit card debt has reached its lowest level in more than a decade, according to the American Bankers Association. People increasingly pay off balances each month. Just 2.44 percent of card accounts are overdue by 30 days or more, versus the 15-year average of 3.82 percent. Yet roughly the same percentage of people are still getting reported for unpaid bills, according to the Urban Institute study performed in conjunction with researchers from the Consumer Credit Research Institute. Their figures nearly match the 36.5 percent of people in

collections reported by a 2004 Federal Reserve analysis. The delinquent debt is overwhelmingly concentrated in Southern and Western states. Texas cities have a large share of their populations being reported to collection agencies: Dallas (44.3 percent); El Paso (44.4 percent), Houston (43.7 percent), McAllen (51.7 percent) and San Antonio (44.5 percent). Almost half of Las Vegas residents— many of whom bore the brunt of the housing bust that sparked the recession— have debt in collections. Other Southern cities have a disproportionate number of their people facing debt collectors, including Orlando and Jacksonville, Fla.; Memphis, Tenn.; Columbia, SC; and Jackson, Miss. On the other side of the ledger, just 20.1 percent of Minneapolis residents have debts in collection. Boston, Honolulu and San Jose, Calif., are similarly low. The Urban Institute’s Ratcliffe said that stagnant incomes are key to why some parts of the country are struggling to repay their debt.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite some good news, Medicare and Social Security still face long-term financial problems as millions of baby boomers reach retirement. Social Security’s disability program is already in crisis as it edges toward the brink of insolvency. Getting relief from a slowdown in health care spending, Medicare’s giant hospital trust fund won’t be exhausted until 2030, the government said Monday. That’s four years later than last year’s estimate. As for Social Security, its massive retirement program will remain solvent until 2034. The disability trust fund, however, is slated to run dry in just two years. At that point, unless Congress acts, the program will collect only enough payroll taxes

to pay 81 percent of benefits. “The fact is, without bipartisan action, benefits will be cut,” said Rep. Dave Camp, RMich., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. The trustees who oversee Social Security and Medicare issued their annual report Monday on the financial health of the government’s two largest benefit programs. Together, they accounted for 41 percent of all federal spending last year. Though both programs are secure,” “fundamentally Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said, “the reports also remind us of something we all understand: We must reform these programs if we want to keep them sound for future generations.” SEE PROBLEMS | A8

Les Bowen, Digital Editor Ron Jackimowicz, News Editor

Opinion theworldlink.com/news/opinion

Your chance to help us help you As some of you may have noticed, we recently launched an initiative to find out more about you. We thought we should give you a little explanation as to what we’re up to. Whether you read The World on paper or on a screen, we’re interested. We want to know what you like, along with what you don’t. We’re interested in where you plan to shop for the products and services you need. We even want to hear about other places you find your information.

Why, you PUBLISHER may ask? Because it will help us serve you better. If you think this is sounding familiar, it JEFF is. We conPRECOURT ducted this very survey in 2005. But those of us in the media world know that data loses value over time. Therefore, we’re ready to hit the refresh button and see what’s changed.

The partner we use is Pulse Research. It was founded in 1985 by a former newspaper publisher who realized the need to provide our industry with better information. That information not only helps us at The World, it helps all of you. When you tell us what you plan to buy in the near future, we have a better idea of who we should be introducing you to. And of course, more dollars spent locally mean more for those who live and work here.

The survey we are asking you to complete captures shopping patterns and purchasing intentions that span thousands of products, services and business types. It will help us understand what you plan to spend your hard-earned dollars on, as well as where you think you’ll spend it. If your survey answers reveal that a specific section of The World proves to be more popular than others, we’ll bulk it up for you. Please visit www.theworldlink.com/survey and

take the survey. Your answers are completely confidential. We’re even selecting three participants at random to receive a $100 gift card from Fred Meyer. Last week we said that without you and your stories we couldn’t begin to produce award-winning journalism. It seems as though we need you again. Here’s hoping that never changes.

This is no way to travel The online rental booking service Airbnb is a fast-growing empire that pairs travelers with people wanting to profit off a room in their house — or the whole house. Like VRBO, HomeAway and similar platforms, Airbnb occupies the lodging sector of the “sharing economy.” I come not to address the legal concerns such services raise. They do compete with motels and hotels, which are subject to a variety of regulations, while often depriving cities of the taxes the hostelries must charge. They frequently break local laws governing short-term rentals. And contrary to the image these corporations cultivate, many of the “hosts” are running not homespun little sidelines to wring some cash from a spare bedroom but large operations controlling many rooms in numerous buildings. To call them “illegal hotels” would not be inaccurate. But I’m here to discuss this trend from the consumer’s viewpoint. That part is also problematic. I’ve used these online rentals a number of times and never had a hideous experience. But I’ve never had a first-rate one, either. The official line sugFROMA gests a certain vagabond HARROP freedom. Isn’t it cool to live like a native — and Columnist outside motel chain conformity? Well, that depends on the native you’re boarding with. You may want to get up close and personal with the stranger on whose sofa you’re spending the night. I don’t. To be totally upfront, I’m not even wild about staying with relatives. When doing these temporary rentals, I’ve made a point of accepting only highly private setups. Still... Here’s a recent example: For a week’s visit to Los Angeles, I rented a homey-sounding cottage in Venice via HomeAway. The reviews were typically glowing and, also routinely, glossed over the hassle factor. I had to arrive with a certified check covering the entire stay. No chance would be taken on a bounced check. Of course, the convenience of using a credit card was not an option. This was not a mi-casa-es-su-casa relationship. The owner was affable enough, but this was just one of several properties he rents to tourists as a business. There was the inevitable initial period of suspicion, during which the host tried to size up the alien with a suitcase. And who could blame him? Temporary rentals have been hired for unruly orgies. The accommodations were a mixed bag. Lovely garden, but the electric wiring would have kept a fire inspector up nights. The cutlery was below cafeteria-grade, the plates scarred by chips. And it would have been nice had someone pushed a vacuum under the couch once in a while. Obviously, only token expense and sweat had been applied to what was really a cash business renting to a revolving parade of temporary tenants. They call this an example of the sharing economy, but I wasn’t sharing this guy’s home at all. Now that would have been a whole difference experience. The place was not cheap. I could have stayed at a modest motel for less. In sum, I find more freedom staying in a chain hotel. Check in and out anytime. Slap down a credit card. Assume a certain standard for housekeeping. Know that wi-fi will flow like Niagara and that the breakfast room will supply corn flakes and milk with various fat contents. And at the desk, day or night, you’ll find locals invariably happy to recommend a place to eat. If you want to share life stories with them, they usually have the time. Meanwhile, there are no neighbors resenting the pageant of visitors coming and going. No Byzantine rules for street parking. Minimal fuss is the ticket. That’s my idea of cool.

Letters to the Editor Award-winners need editing help I read that “The World” received another award! I don’t think that award was for editing! Over time, in my opinion, this newspaper has had lots of problems with editing. Lots of misspellings, column lineup problems and misuse of grammar! I would guess it may be the dependence on spell checks and other technological “fixes.” I have ignored it until I got to an obituary, and tried to read it, and found that pieces of it are missing and the columns don’t

line up! Loved ones and friends don’t want to be distracted by trying to find the “rest of the story.” Maybe it is time to have a living, breathing editor that will do the mundane job of physically checking the paper rather than relying totally on technology! Dianne Harrison Coos Bay

And get the weather right, too On Wednesday, we had quite an amount of rain here in North Bend. How is it that The World

weather reported no rain? I checked the NWS three-day history for the airport. They reported a total of only 0.01 inches of rain. Yet the streets were flooded all around the airport. Did the airport have a malfunction of the rain gauge? There should have been more rain reported than 0.01 inches. Your article on the fair did support that there was heavy amounts of rain in the area in the morning and early afternoon. We should, at the very least, report accurate weather. Worth checking into to find out why? Robert Schalck North Bend

Intolerance of diversity corrupts us We’re past the July 4 celebrations and the All-Star Break. NFL training camps haven’t started. Congress is poised to recess for August — the pause before the storm leading up to the midterm elections. “Pause” is the operative word. Right now, I want to pause and consider where we are and where we’re going. I want to pause and consider the state of our national dialogue, especially as we discuss important issues like the crisis at the border, the turmoil in Gaza and the tragedy in Ukraine. Have you ever watched a baseball or football game without the play-by-play and expert analysis? Without it, the game seems boring. And you can miss a lot of the action. But we expect the commentators to be accurate and to be civil, even while being critical. Do those of us who do political play-by-play or analysis help the reader, or viewer, know what’s going on, to see deeper into the issues? Do we try to strengthen the national dialogue and improve its quality? Does the quality of our civic discourse not reflect the quality of the conversation in Washington? Having paused and reflected, I think we need to change the tone. Analysis of the past should lead us toward choices — choices that help us form “a more perfect Union.” In sports, they go on to the next play; in politics we should be finding solutions, together.

But we can’t move forward and we can’t find solutions until we do two t h i n g s : acknowledge that we as a nation are changing, and change how we talk about each other.

DONNA BRAZILE Columnist

Accommodating and managing change is built into our federal system. Thomas Jefferson wrote (and these words are inscribed on a panel in the Jefferson Memorial): “ ... laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind ... with the change of circuminstitutions must stances, advance also to keep pace with the times.” Our federal system recognizes that people are, almost universally, a mixture of good and bad. That’s its beauty, and the truth it works from. The Founders created an electoral system that is responsive to change. They designed institutions that, through checks and balances, would be flexible, that would allow change, but would also encourage deliberation and due diligence. Change should come, but not all change should come quickly or easily. Elections — fair elections — are the vehicle of change. The people’s voice is heard through

elections; the pundits’ favorite term, “mandate,” becomes manifest through elections. Our Constitution, our electoral system, our institutions require trust — trust in the principles behind them, trust in our foundations, trust that if we pay attention, if we hold each other and our leaders accountable, and if we communicate, we can move forward toward forming that “more perfect Union.” But there’s a hysterical fear of change in this land. It’s undermining our trust in each other and it’s corroding our foundations and institutions. Those who subscribe to that fear are destroying the Constitution — through the very words and deeds by which they say are saving it. This fear is fueled by an infatuation with incivility and a monstrous hubris. Jefferson said that we chose self-government because we did not find angels in the form of kings to govern us. Those driven by this fear of change and mistrust of others have gone to the opposite extreme: seeing elected officials as devils. Dialogue, conversation, compromise, argument — in its truest sense of testing ideas — cannot take place when those on the other side, those with a different position, or perspective or ideology, are not to be trusted — ever. The greatest danger to our nation is a political strategy that says your party must never say anything good about the President, ever. That your party

cannot cooperate with or acknowledge the concerns or values of the opposition party, ever. That everyone has to approve of everything you believe, always. The result of such absolutism is not refinement, but betrayal — betrayal of “we the people,” and betrayal of the ideals being trumpeted. Besmirching the reputation of others soils our own. We must change how we talk to and talk about each other. We must find a way to get the gutterlanguage out of our national conversations. In his first inaugural address, Jefferson said: “... let us reflect that, having banished from our land that religious intolerance under which mankind so long bled and suffered, we have yet gained little if we countenance a political intolerance as despotic, as wicked, and capable of (just) as bitter and bloody persecutions.” He knew whereof he spoke. The growing intolerance of diversity of opinion is corrupting us. Let us, as citizens, as commentators, as analysts, as journalists, adopt a different course. Let us heed the words of Benjamin Franklin who, in addressing the Continental Congress to adopt the Constitution, said, “the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment of others.” Instead of assuming we, or our party, or our sect, is in possession of “all truth,” let’s give each other — and ourselves — the benefit of the doubt.

News of the West Son’s clumsiness may have a physical cause DEAR ABBY: In short, my son is a klutz — to the point that it affects his self-confidence. He’s different from everyone else in the family. Is being a klutz genetic? Is it permanent? He’s not doing well academically, DEAR either. How can I help him? — PARENT W H O CARES D E A R PARENT: One way to help your son would JEANNE be to stop PHILLIPS other family members from making fun of him and labeling him as a klutz. When people laugh and ridicule others, it makes them only more selfconscious and more clumsy. Another way to help would be to have him examined by an ophthalmologist and a neurologist. His problem may be poor depth perception or a neurological or balance issue. And while you’re at it, consider having him evaluated for a learning disability, which may be the cause of his academic difficulties. DEAR ABBY: I have a pet peeve. I hate it when people ask to “try my meal” or to have a taste, especially when I haven’t had one myself. When I say no, my boyfriend calls me selfish. If we’re with friends, I feel obligated to say yes to avoid appearing rude. I seldom trade bites with my boyfriend because I don’t eat meat and he usually orders something I don’t want. Some nights we cook our own separate meals, and he still asks to try mine (even though he’s a better cook than I am). Abby, how can I say no without looking or feeling selfish and rude? I just want to enjoy my entire meal without hearing, “Can I have a bite?” — PET PEEVE IN PORTLAND DEAR PET PEEVE: Many people regard sharing food to be an act of intimacy. Because it makes you uncomfortable, all you have to do is say, “I’d prefer not to.” If these folks are friends, they must know how you feel about this by now. And as for your boyfriend, I can’t help but wonder why he would persist in doing something that he knows annoys you unless he’s doing it to tease you. DEAR ABBY: Are night owls born or raised to stay up late? Can a night owl successfully become a morning lark? — TIRED NIGHT OWL IN OTTAWA DEAR TIRED NIGHT OWL: Night owls are usually born that way, but the pattern can be changed. If it creates problems for you, you may have a condition called “delayed sleep phase disorder.” The most effective way to find out if this is your problem would be to consult a sleep (disorder) specialist. Therapies are available, and a specialist can help you determine which one would be the best for you. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

The Associated Press

Sand Fire evacuees Doc Bassett, and his neighbor Bev Matson take care of his dog Sophie while waiting for fire updates from officials at the evacuation center in Shingle Springs, Calif., on Monday.

Drone almost blocks California firefighting planes SHINGLE SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — A private drone trying to record footage of a Northern California wildfire nearly hindered efforts to attack the flames from the air, but firefighters made enough progress to allow most of the 1,200 people under evacuation orders to return home Monday. An unmanned aircraft that aimed to get video of the blaze burning near vineyards in the Sierra Nevada foothills east of Sacramento was sighted Sunday, two days after the fire broke out, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokeswoman Lynne Tolmachoff said. Authorities told the man controlling the drone to stop it from flying because of the potential danger to firefighting planes. The man, whom Tolmachoff did not identify, was not cited. “This is the first one that I’m aware of,” she said. “These unmanned aircraft are becoming very popular with people, and there’s a possibility we will see more of them.” Crews held the fire to a little under 6 square miles, increasing containment to 75 percent by Monday evening, state fire Battalion Chief Scott McLean said. Most evacuees were allowed to return home except those

who lived in a roughly square mile patch of land. “We’re not going to get complacent, but it’s looking very good,” McLean said. Amy Russell, 35, was among those given the OK to go home. The location of her home on the outskirts of the fire gave her hope it was still standing. “It’d be very hard to lose everything. It’s a fixer-upper house, so we could rebuild it if it burned down, but it would be a real emotional loss,” said Russell, who was at a Red Cross shelter set up at a high school with her two daughters, Abigail, 3, and Anneliese, 2. She managed to pack essentials, including a safe with legal documents, as well as sentimental items such as wedding photos and a wooden jewelry box her husband made. The fire has destroyed 13 homes and 38 other structures near wine-growing regions in Amador and El Dorado counties since it started Friday, as it burns in rugged grassland and timber. Some grapevines did burn, but crews were able to keep the fire from spreading to the main grape-growing area, Tolmachoff said. The Sierra foothills fire is one of two in California that has forced people from their homes, underscoring the

state’s heightened fire danger this year after three years of drought created tinderdry conditions. Firefighters have responded to more than 3,600 fires so far this year, about 1,000 more than the average of the previous five years, Tolmachoff said. The fires have burned nearly 63 square miles. With several months still remaining in the fire season, more big blazes are expected. The other fire about 100 miles away had burned through a little more than 4 square miles of brush and trees in Yosemite National Park, the neighboring Stanislaus National Forest and private land as of Monday morning and was into smoke sending Yosemite’s famed valley. It grew by about 500 acres overnight and was 5 percent contained, with a relentless air attack limiting its spread, park spokesman Scott Gediman said. The park itself — home to such sites as Half Dome mountain, Yosemite Meadows, a grove of Giant Sequoia trees and other wonders — remained open, and none of its treasures was threatened. But park officials warned hikers with respiratory problems to be careful because of the smoky air.

GRANTS PASS (AP) — Most of the large wildfires burning east of the Cascade Range in Oregon for the past two weeks were at or near containment Monday, but a new round of intense lighting storms was forecast later this week, particularly across the central part of the state. Six of the 11 large wildfires still active were at 80 percent or more containment after burning across 926 square miles of timber, brush and grass, the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland reported. A total of 4,063 people were fighting the fires, down from 6,730 last week. The largest wildfire in the nation, the Buzzard Complex, is 98 percent contained after burning 618 square miles of rangeland about 45 miles southeast of Burns. Isolated lightning was forecast Monday and Tuesday in southern Oregon, particularly east of the Cascades. Lightning storms were expected to become more intense Wednesday through Sunday from central Oregon to the Idaho border, with moderate to heavy potential for starting large fires.

Eugene city council passes sick leave law STATE

EUGENE (AP) — The Eugene City Council has joined cities such as Seattle, Portland and San Francisco in approving a mandatory sick leave law. The ordinance passed Monday on a 5-3 vote requires employers to provide workers with one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours work, up to a maximum of 40 hours a year. The Register-Guard reports the law will go into effect next July. It applies to all Eugene businesses and nonprofit groups. Supporters say the ordinance protects low-wage workers who need to stay home to take care of themselves or their sick children. Critics say it would add costs for businesses. Lane County commissioners last week passed three ordinances meant to limit or totally block the proposed Eugene city law, setting up a potential legal battle.

Group: no Fukushima radiation in Oregon SALEM (AP) — A group testing West Coast waters for radiation from a damaged Japanese nuclear power plant says no evidence of contamination has been found in Oregon. The Statesman Journal reports Monday massive amounts of contaminated water were released from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Scientists say the radiation will hit the U.S. this year at very low levels that won’t harm humans or the environment. But no federal agency is monitoring it.

“The lightning itself is a concern, because we are going through this warming and drying period,” said Carol Connolly, spokeswoman for the coordination center. “If there is an ignition, there is a high potential for large fires, especially in central Oregon.” Though some firefighters were being released for reassignment elsewhere, initial attack crews were still on hand to go after new fires, Connolly said. Among them was the Shaniko Butte Fire, which was 90 percent contained after burning 66 square miles of grass and brush 15 miles north of Warm Springs. The Bridge 99 Complex, which had forced evacuations along the Metolius River 20 miles north of Sisters, was 88 percent contained after scorching 9 square miles of timber. The Pine Creek Complex near Fossil was just short of containment after burning 102 square miles of grass and timber. And the Center Fire 3 miles northeast of Post was 90 percent contained after charring 4 square miles of timber and grass.

DILBERT

Rebate or rip off? You know what irks me? Rebates. Take the vacuum cleaner for example. I bought it because with the $30 rebate, the final price beat all the competition. And I’ll admit I was quite proud of myself when I crammed the receipt and rebate form into my purse. The problem is I completely forgot about it. Just this morning I was looking for something else when I ran into it. I was stunned to discover I have only a tiny 30-day window of opportunity to claim my rebate — and 25 have passed. That got m e EVERYDAY thinking: CHEAPSKATE H o w m a n y people d o n ’ t re m e m ber just in the nick of time? H o w m a n y $30 vacMary u u m Hunt cleaner rebates will never be redeemed? Why are they making it so difficult for me to get my money? The rebate theory is simple. Manufacturers and retailers offer rebates to stimulate sales. We buy, we mail and they send us money. At least that’s the way it’s supposed to work. But the conditions can be so rigid that it becomes nearly impossible for the average consumer to comply. And that’s exactly the way they want it. Manufacturers have a vested interest in making the rebate process difficult. They’re hoping we won’t bother — that we’ll lose our proofs-of-purchase and miss our deadlines. They’re hoping to return as little money as possible. If they really wanted to give us the great deal, they’d just reduce the price on the shelf and be done with it. The Federal Trade Commission, whose job it is to police and oversee consumer matters, estimates that at least half of all rebates go unclaimed because consumers lose the form, fail to comply with the rigid conditions or just plain forget to file. Unredeemed rebates become a windfall for the manufacturer. So, does all this mean we should become rebate-phobic, doing all we can to avoid them in the first place? No. Just that we need to increase our rebate intelligence and then decide to bite the bullet, follow the rules so we always win at the rebate game. Know the terms. Read the fine print before you make the purchase. Know the exact conditions and assess your chances of complying with them. Don’t procrastinate. Apply for your rebate at the earliest possible time, not the last minute. Follow the rules. Assume that the company is trying to trip you up. Approach filling out the form and providing the required proof of purchase as you would an important test. Keep a paper trail. It’s a pain, but you need a copy of everything. If you have not received your rebate within 30 days of submission, go to work. Follow through. If you are not satisfied, file a complaint with the manufacturer and the retailer, sending copies to your state’s Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau. Above all, file a complaint with the FTC online at ftc.gov or call toll free 877372-4357. Save the windfalls. Instead of letting them evaporate into your daily spending, stash your rebates in a special account. Watching the balance grow will give you a greater incentive to make sure you collect every dime of every rebate to which you are entitled. As for my $30 rebate, I sent it in. Sure hope it doesn’t get lost in the mail. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com, a personal finance member website.

Nation and World Israel hits symbols of Hamas rule GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel escalated its military campaign against Hamas on Tuesday, striking symbols of the militant group’s control in Gaza and firing tank shells that Palestinian officials said shut down the strip’s only power plant in the heaviest bombardment in the war so far. Hours after the power plant was hit, a tall column of thick black smoke still rose from the plant’s burning fuel tank. The station’s shutdown was bound to lead to further serious disruptions of the flow of electricity and water to the 1.7 million peoThe Associated Press ple packed into the narrow The Arwa clinic, center, that was closed after the clinic doctor got infected by the Ebola virus in the capital Palestinian territory.

city of Freetown, Sierra Leone. Ebola, a hemorrhagic fever that can cause its victims to bleed from the ears and nose, had never before been seen in this part of West Africa where medical clinics are few and far between. More than 530 deaths have been attributed to the outbreak that is now the largest on record.

New fears about Ebola spread after plane scare DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — No one knows for sure just how many people Patrick Sawyer came into contact with the day he boarded a flight in Liberia, had a stopover in Ghana, changed planes in Togo, and then arrived in Nigeria, where authorities say he died days later from Ebola, one of the deadliest diseases known to man. Now health workers are scrambling to trace those who may have been exposed to Sawyer, a 40-year-old Liberian Finance Ministry employee, across West Africa, including flight attendants and fellow passengers. Health experts say it is unlikely he could have infected others with the virus that can cause victims to bleed from the eyes, mouth and ears. Still, unsettling questions remain: How could a man whose sister recently died from Ebola manage to board a plane leaving the country? And worse: Could Ebola become

the latest disease to be spread by international air travel? Sawyer’s death Friday has led to tighter screening of airline passengers in West Africa, where an unprecedented outbreak that emerged in March has killed more than 670 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. But some health authorities expressed little confidence in such precautions. “The best thing would be if people did not travel when they were sick, but the problem is people won’t say when they’re sick. They will lie in order to travel,so it is doubtful travel recommendations would have a big impact,” said Dr.David Heymann,professor of infectious diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. “The important thing is for countries to be prepared when they get patients infected with Ebola, that they are isolated, family members are told what to do

and health workers take the right steps.” The World Health Organization is awaiting laboratory confirmation after Nigerian health authorities said Sawyer tested positive for Ebola, WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl said. The WHO has not recommended any travel restrictions since the outbreak came to light. “We would have to consider any travel recommendations very carefully, but the best way to stop this outbreak is to put the necessary measures in place at the source of infection,” Hartl said. Closing borders “might help, but it won’t be exhaustive or foolproof.” The risk of travelers contracting Ebola is considered low because it requires direct contact with bodily fluids or secretions such as urine, blood, sweat or saliva, experts say. Ebola can’t be spread like flu through casual contact or breathing in the same air. Patients are contagious

The heavy strikes were a new blow to international efforts to reach a sustainable truce in the fighting, now in its fourth week. At least 100 Palestinians were killed Tuesday, including 26 who died in airstrikes and tank shelling on four homes, according to Palestinian health officials and the Palestinian Red Crescent. That pushed the overall death toll since the conflict began on July 8 to at least 1,156, according to Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Kidra. Israel has reported 53 soldiers and three civilians killed. In the West Bank, a top PLO official offered a 24-

hour truce Tuesday, saying he also spoke in the name of Hamas, but the Islamic militants said they want to hear from Israel first. Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev declined comment. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday warned of a “prolonged” campaign against Hamas. But it was not clear if Netanyahu has decided to expand the Gaza war into an all-out effort to topple Hamas or planned to limit Israel’s operation to the previously stated goal of ending Hamas rocket fire and destroying Hamas’s sophisticated network of cross-border tunnels.

Abuse suspect dead; marshals, policeman hurt NEW YORK (AP) — A California man who skipped town after being accused of molesting a boy was killed and three law enforcement officers trying to arrest him were wounded in a daytime shootout inside a small smoke shop in one of New York’s most bustling neighborhoods, officials said Monday. The man, Charles Richard Mozdir, was recently featured on a CNN show about fugitives. He was wanted in a San Diego case and was charged with lewd acts upon a child younger than 14, a criminal complaint said. The shootout between Mozdir and members of the New York/New Jersey

Regional Fugitive Task Force happened just after 1 p.m. in Greenwich Village not far from New York University in a highly trafficked tourist area bounded by jazz clubs, restaurants, a subway station and a basketball court. Mozdir’s handgun was recovered at the scene, and 20 extra rounds of ammunition were found in his pocket, Police Commissioner William Bratton said. A police detective first entered the narrow smoke shop and identified Mozdir, who apparently was alone, Police Commissioner Bratton said, before leaving and returning with the U.S. marshals.

The detective was shot at least twice, in the stomach below his protective vest and in the right chest, which could have been deadly were it not stopped by the vest, Bratton said at a hospital. One U.S. marshal was shot in the elbow and another in his buttocks, he said. All three were in stable condition and had been visited by city and federal officials. The detective didn’t fire his weapon, but the federal agents fired multiple rounds, authorities said. “They do what law enforcement personnel do every day,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said. “They have to put their lives on the line to protect the rest of us.”

Lawmakers try to seal aid package for Israel WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic and Republican members of Congress scrambled Tuesday to seal a $225 million boost to Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system before they break this week for a month-long recess. As the Gaza war escalates, Israel is proving to be among the few subjects uniting lawmakers. Members of both parties have introduced legislation backing the Jewish state, condemning the Palestinian militant group Hamas and seeking a tougher Iran policy. Iron Dome is the priority, but the House and Senate are at odds over process.

No money for Israel will be included in a larger House spending bill focused on border security, Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., the Appropriations Committee chairman, said Tuesday. He said military support for Israel would be addressed separately, though not necessarily this week. That means the effort could slip to September. The GOP-led House’s approach is at odds with the De m o c ra t i c - co n t ro l l e d Senate, which wants the Iron Dome money approved with border security and wildfire assistance in a single package before lawmakers take their

break on Thursday or Friday. Israel escalated its operations against Hamas on Tuesday as the conflict entered its fourth week.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of a “prolonged” campaign. Amid a daily barrage of Palestinian rocket fire, Iron Dome has been credited with knocking hundreds out of the sky. Even as the Obama administration presses for a ceasefire, it has backed Israel’s request to replenish its missile defense stockpiles while it is fighting, with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel asking Congress to approve the measure.

FBI defends search for bombing video SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The FBI thoroughly searched its archives and found no evidence that more videos of the Oklahoma City bombing exist, agency employees told a judge Monday in a trial that has rekindled questions about whether any others were involved in the 1995 attack. Additional searches for videos that Salt Lake City lawyer Jesse Trentadue believes are being withheld would be burdensome and FBI attorney fruitless, Kathryn Wyer argued during the first day of a bench trial.

Immigration fight makes political waves LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — In the whitest U.S. state, thousands of miles from the Mexican border, the debate over immigration is quickly becoming a central issue in one of the nation’s most closely watched governor’s races. With its close-knit communities and a practice of labeling non-natives as “from away,” Mainers have a reputation for being insular. But they have also embraced the need for immigrants as the state’s population ages and declines. So Republican Gov. Paul LePage roiled the cultural waters when he criticized the federal government’s placement of eight immigrant

US says Russia violated nuclear treaty WASHINGTON (AP) — In an escalation of tensions, the Obama administration accused Russia on Monday of conducting tests in violation of a 1987 nuclear missile treaty, calling the breach “a very serious matter” and going public with allegations that have simmered for some time. The treaty confrontation comes at a highly strained time between President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin over Russia’s intervention in Ukraine and Putin’s grant of asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. An administration official said Obama notified Putin of the U.S. determination in a letter Monday. The finding will be included in a State Department annual report on compliance with arms control treaties that will be released Tuesday.

Shelling adds to mounting civilian toll DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — Shelling in at least three cities in eastern Ukraine has hit a home for the elderly, a

school and multiple homes, adding to a rapidly growing civilian death toll Tuesday. The use of unguided rockets in fighting between government troops and proRussian separatist rebels has been causing a notable increase in casualties in recent days and drawn criticism from the U.N. and rights groups. And with turmoil raging across a swathe of Ukraine’s troubled east, international investigators were again prevented Tuesday from visiting the site of the Malaysia Airlines jet shot down earlier this month.

jetty to Horsfall Lake). Coos Bay City Manager Rodger Craddock said this agreement is typical of commitments the city makes with other area businesses, though they’re a small fraction of the size of this $7.5 billion project. The group also proposed that Jordan Cove send its annual CSF check to Coos Curry Douglas Business Development Corporation, the Bay Area Enterprise Zone manager, which would then distribute those funds based on the CEP’s distribution plan. Work group member Mike Erbele cautioned the group not to “reinvent the wheel unless we have to,” asking them to look at how Hillsboro’s Intel pays its community service fees.

Washington County communications officer Philip Bransford said Intel writes its community service fee checks directly to the county. Strategic Intel’s Investment Program agreement is similar to the draft agreement between Jordan Cove and the four sponsor entities, but not identical. Intel is not in an enterprise zone, and its payments are fixed (and capped at $2 million a year), whereas Jordan Cove’s community service fees would be based on assessed valuation.

However, many advocates oppose any cuts to benefits, while many Republicans in Congress oppose any increase in taxes. “The president will not support any proposal that would hurt Americans who depend on these programs today, and he will not support any effort that slashes benefits for future retirees,” Lew said. In 2030, when the hospital trust fund is expected to

be depleted, Medicare will collect enough payroll taxes to pay 85 percent of inpatient costs. is adding Medicare 10,000 new beneficiaries a day as baby boomers reach age 65. But the report said costs per beneficiary were essentially unchanged in 2013, for the second year in a row. That is a contrast with previous years, when both per-person costs and overall enrollment were growing. Experts debate whether the health-spending slowdown is the result of a sluggish economy or repre-

sents a dividend from Obama’s health care overhaul, which cut program spending to finance coverage for the uninsured. Social Security’s disability program could be shored up in the short run by shifting tax revenue from the much larger retirement program, as Congress has done in the past. However, that would slightly worsen the retirement program’s longterm finances. If the two trust funds were combined, they would have enough money to last until 2033, the report said.

said, “but it would be a disincentive for them to do that.” At that point, the company would again revert to paying property taxes, but would pay more in the long run, since community service fees are proposed to be frontloaded to benefit the region immediately after construction begins. “This (not renewing the agreement) is not something they would do willy-nilly to get out of something,” Sweet said. “If they did this, it would cost them more.” In both cases, the CEP’s funding stream would be cut off. At that point, it’s back to square one: 99 percent of Jordan Cove’s property tax payments would go to the Coos County Urban Renewal District (the North Spit’s rural area from the north

THEATER Continued from Page A1 in college, and loved doing it,” she said, as some of her young performers zipped by after a recent rehearsal. “I think children learn a lot from theater, and children learn a lot from being involved in theater.” It should be noted that while there are some children in the cast and the material is suitable for younger audiences, children’s theater typically has something in it for every member of the family to enjoy. “The Bad Children” is taken from a Shirley Jackson short story about the Hansel and Gretel story, but in this version Hansel and Gretel are really awful little brats and the witch is college educated,” explained Carlson. “She doesn’t really want anything to do with the children and wants to send them home to their mother and father, who don’t want them either.” There is also a talking rabbit and an enchanter, who lives in a hollow tree and has a friendly spell-casting competition with the witch. Theresa Erskine, in her first Dolphin production, plays the witch and brings a long resume of memorable roles in local theater. Most recently, Erskine directed the popular “Oliver!” musical at Little Theater On The Bay. She shares this stage with a new generation of communi-

ty actors, including Naia Duggan as Gretel and Moira O'Bryan as Hansel, with McKenzie Rescorla filling in for both roles. Friday performances are at 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m., with one Thursday performance Aug. 7 at 7 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and students, and $5 for children 12 and under. Reservations can be made by calling 541-808-2611, or going to the website at thedolphinTickets players.webs.com. will also be available at the door, but the Dolphin Playhouse has limited seating. The theater is a nonprofit organization, with all money raised going back to its programming. At least some of which will be going toward more programs for young actors. “We’re just hoping to broaden our programming so that we can provide quality children’s theater,” Carlson added. “I think this is something we will try to do again, at least once a year, and maybe more.”

Clippers are eager for new owner to take over Judge rules against Donald Sterling ■

North Coos has high hopes for state BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

NORTH BEND — North Coos knew it was in for a special summer when it split its season-opening doubleheader at Roseburg Pepsi. Legion Field and Roseburg Pepsi have been a bad combination for the Waterfront over the years, but the split that evening set the tone for North Coos winning the Area 4 North Division title and earning a spot in this week’s state tournament at Medford. The Waterfront went on to win the season series against Roseburg Pepsi and all three of the other league foes — Sheldon, Roseburg Umpqua Lions and Grants Pass Miners — three games to one. The same keys have provided the formula in many of the wins. “We’ve got strong bats; we’ve got strong pitching; we’ve got strong fielding,” said Robert Martino. Martino fits in all three categories, as do a number of the other players. When he’s not taking his turn on the mound, Martino usually can be found in the infield. Jon Bennison is the first baseman when he’s not pitching. Hunter Jackson most often is at catcher if it’s not his turn in the rotation. Having three solid pitchers is a luxury. North Coos goes beyond that, with a fourth strong starter in Griffin Kauffman. Heading into a tournament that ideally will include games five straight days, having that quality of a rotation is a valuable asset. So is having a solid lineup. North Coos has shown a knack for coming up with big hits at key moments with the group, led by Marshall Rice, Marquece Williams, Martino, Bennison, Kaufmann, Austin Soria and Trey Cornish.

Colton Olson rounds third as coach Brad Horning waves him around to home during a July 15 game against Grants Pass. Hitting will be at a premium this week. “We’ve got to hit the bats well and not make mistakes,” Rice said. During most of the league season, the Waterfront was solid in the field. Rice and Williams have spent the season trading off at short-

stop, each proving adept at making tough plays in the hole. Others have rotated into the other spots — Martino and Jared Hampel at second base; Kaufmann, Soria and Emmett Cook at third; Cornish, Rice, Williams, Colton Olson, Tyler Laskey, Colby Long and John Lahr in the outfield; Shallon Zehe

behind the plate; and Victor Lahr in relief. “I have confidence in everyone in the field,” Bennison said. Occasionally errors happen — that’s baseball — but the team’s response has been great. “What’s nice about this team is if someone makes an error, nobody gets down on them,” Rice said. That’s because of a strong chemistry the team has built, despite the players coming from five different high schools. “We feel like we’ve come together a lot,” Bennison said. That has the players excited about this week. “I think we’re going to do pretty good,” Williams said. All of the elements have combined to help the team to its strong league performance. And many of those wins have come in close games. “There’s a lot of tight baseball games they had to fight in,” North Coos head coach Brad Horning said. “Those were good experiences.” North Coos is in for another good experience this week. Harry & David Field is one of the top facilities in Oregon, a professional-sized ballpark. “How fun is that,” Horning said. “That’s a great field.” North Coos opens the tournament at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday against the Salem Senators. The foe Thursday will be either North Medford or Jake’s, a Portland-area team. With a win Wednesday, North Coos plays at 4:30 p.m. in the winner’s bracket. With a loss, the Waterfront will be in action at 9:30 a.m. in a loserout game in the double-elimination tournament. The four teams on the other side of the bracket are Roseburg Pepsi, Central Point, La Grande and tournament host South Medford.

The NBA and the Los Angeles Clippers are ready to move on, even if Donald Sterling wants to keep fighting. Move on to Steve Ballmer, who paid a record price for the team and is now a step closer to finally owning it. The Clippers are a potential powerhouse team next season, with two All-Star players and one of the league’s best coaches. The only thing that could’ve messed it up was ownership. That no longer appears to be a concern after Monday’s ruling in Los Angeles, where Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas sided with Sterling’s estranged wife, Shelly Sterling, who negotiated the sale to Ballmer for a record-breaking $2 billion. Donald Sterling was trying to block the sale. Now it could all be completed within two weeks. “We look forward to the transaction closing as soon as possible,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement. The league wanted to work with Ballmer, who made clear his desire to own with the astonishing price he paid. The former Microsoft CEO was nearly an NBA owner last year before owners chose to keep the K ings in Sacramento, rather than allow them to be sold to a group that included Ballmer, and moved to Seattle. He got another chance after Donald Sterling was recorded making racial remarks to a female friend. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver then banned Sterling for life and fined him $2.5 million, and said he would urge owners to force Sterling to sell. Instead, Shelly Sterling made the deal with Ballmer, which could have fallen through if Levanas had ruled she didn’t have the authority. And the Clippers’ high hopes might’ve crumbled just as quickly. Doc Rivers would possibly have quit as coach if Sterling remained the owner, interim CEO Richard Parsons had testified. All-Star point guard Chris Paul, who also is president of the Players Association, might have sat out and convinced other players to join him. Sponsors who already started to flee after Sterling’s recording was released might have stayed away for good. “The Clippers would suffer a massive loss of value if the team survived at all,” Levanas said.

Wheaton looks to take next step Injuries hampered former Beaver during his rookie season ■

LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — Markus Wheaton realizes the pressure is there, but he doesn’t mind. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ second-year wide receiver figures to be the best shot to replace departed starter Emmanuel Sanders, so Wheaton is OK with the early elevated expectations despite a bumpy rookie year in which he struggled to stay healthy. “I feed off the pressure and embrace it,” Wheaton said. “Pressure is always good, I feel. Pressure can push you to get a lot better or it can break you. I feel that the pressure is always good for me because it always pushes me to get better.” The rejuvenated Wheaton welcomed the start of training camp after a lost rookie season that resulted in two broken fingers and just six receptions for 64 yards. “It was frustrating not being able to progress like you want to progress,” Wheaton said. “Having a setback, it feels like you’re starting over a little bit.” Wheaton is indeed starting over, but that might not be a bad thing. He has full mobility of his

pinkie finger, which required minor surgery, and said he’s healthy. Wheaton, a third-round pick out of Oregon State in 2013, also went through full offseason workouts for the first time and feels comfortable entering his second training camp. “I’m just more relaxed,” Wheaton said. “I can go out there and play whereas last year I was thinking a lot. I feel like when you’re thinking you can’t play at the speed you want to play at.” He’s working on his relationship with Ben Roethlisberger too, joining his quarterback and a group of teammates in California during the spring. The extra work already appears to be paying off as Roethlisberger floated a deep pass down the left sideline during practice on Sunday and Wheaton sprinted between two defenders to track it down. Roethlisberger expects more of the same this season. “I’ve put a lot on him,” Roethlisberger said. “The expectation level is high. He was doing some really good things last year until he got hurt and kind of lost some confidence I think in himself, but he’s got it back.” And he’s got an opportunity to turn that confidence into significant playing time. Sanders left for Denver a sea-

son after finishing with productive 67 catches for 740 yards and six touchdowns. Jerricho Cotchery, an 11-year veteran, quickly followed suit to Carolina. The Steelers brought in Lance Moore, who spent his first eight seasons in New Orleans, and speedy six-year veteran Darrius Heyward-Bey. They also used a fourth-round draft pick on 6foot-4 Martavis Bryant, who starred at Clemson. Wheaton looks to have the early inside edge on the starting job, lining up with the first team throughout organized team activities and minicamp, but he is still motivated to earn his spot. “Whether you’re a veteran that’s been here for a long time, or you’re an undrafted free agent, you still have something to prove,” Wheaton said. “You still have a lot to prove to hold onto your spot or to get a spot.” The veteran Moore feels it’s a good outlook to carry. “This is the time where it really counts,” Moore said. “You can show up in the offseason when we’re in shorts and do a lot of great things, but once you really start to put stuff on film in training camp, that’s when the coaches are going to be like ‘ok, this guy is ready.

Sports Lakers say Scott is team’s new coach

Arizona thrives in extra extra innings

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — Nick Ahmed’s RBI single with two outs in the 15th inning kept Arizona perfect when games go really long as the Diamondbacks beat Cincinnati 2-1 on Monday night. The Diamondbacks improved to 13-0 all-time in games of at least 15 innings. Ahmed’s single off J.J. Hoover (1-8) gave the Reds their ninth loss in 10 games since the All-Star break, a slump that has dropped them below .500 for the first time since June 21. The MLB offense been Recap has the problem, scoring only 17 runs in those 10 games, by far the fewest in the majors. Oliver Perez (1-1) gave up a hit and a walk in two innings. Addison Reed got his 25th save in 30 chances. Cincinnati’s Aroldis Chapman fanned the side in the ninth, extending his major league record for a reliever to 44 consecutive games with at least one strikeout. Braves 2, Padres 0: Ervin Santana threw eight scoreless innings, Evan Gattis homered for the first time in more than a month and Atlanta blanked San Diego. Santana (10-6) allowed just five hits and matched his career high with 11 strikeouts. Craig Kimbrel struck out the side in the ninth for his 32nd save. Gattis led off the seventh with a drive into the left-field seats off Jason Lane (0-1), a 37-year-old former outfielder making his first big league start as a pitcher. Called up from Triple-A to fill in for ailing Ian Kennedy, Lane shut down the Braves through six innings. But when the left-hander hung an 0-1 breaking pitch, Gattis hit his 17th homer of the season and first since

Cincinnati second baseman Kris Negron is upended by Arizona’s Didi Gregorius at second base during the seventh inning Monday. Gregorius was forced out at second and Negron threw to first to complete a double play. The Diamondbacks won 2-1 in 15 innings. June 18, before he went on the disabled list for nearly three weeks with a bulging disk in his back. Marlins 7, Nationals 6: Jeff Baker hit a two-out RBI single to cap a four-run rally in the ninth inning as Miami won its fifth straight. The Marlins trailed 6-1 in the seventh and Washington’s Rafael Soriano (2-1), who earned his 200th career save Sunday, took the mound in the ninth with a 63 lead and blew a save for the fourth time this season Casey McGehee led off with a four-pitch walk, Garrett Jones doubled and Marcell Ozuna hit an RBI single. Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s sacrifice fly made it 6-5, and a wild pitch advanced Ozuna to second base. Adeiny Hechavarria ended an 11-pitch at-bat with a tying triple and pinchhitter Donovan Solano was hit by a pitch. Left-hander Jerry Blevins replaced Soriano and struck out Christian Yelich. Baker, who entered in the eighth, then lined a hit over left fielder Bryce Harper that hit the base of the fence. Cubs 4, Rockies 1: Tsuyoshi Wada earned his first big league win, pitching seven strong innings to lead the Cubs past Colorado. Anthony Rizzo drove in two runs to back Wada (1-1), who was making his third career start. Mets 7, Phillies 1: Travis d’Arnaud went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and Bartolo Colon made his second straight strong start for

the Mets. The 41-year-old Colon (10-8) retired the first 20 batters in his last outing Wednesday against Seattle, eventually allowing two runs on three hits in 7 1-3 innings in a 3-2 win. He wasn’t as dominant Monday. But staked to a big lead, he was never in much trouble either, scattering 10 hits over 7 2-3 innings. the Pirates pounded Madison Bumgarner (12-8) early in a 5-0 win over the struggling Giants. Worley (4-1) struck out three and walked one. His only other complete game came in a 7-2 win over the Giants on July 26, 2011, in Philadelphia.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Rangers 4, Yankees 2: Yu Darvish struck out eight in seven innings for his 10th victory and J.P. Arencibia had a tiebreaking two-run single for the Texas Rangers in a victory over the New York Yankees. Darvish (10-6) shouted out and pumped his fist after his final strikeout, when Brian McCann swung and missed to end the seventh with two runners on base. Brett Gardner homered twice and Derek Jeter had three hits — to pass Carl Yastrzemski on the career hits list — off the All-Star right-hander, who threw 80 of his 108 pitches for strikes five days after losing a rainshortened game in New York. David Phelps (5-5) lost for the first time in nine starts, allowing four runs

and eight hits over six innings. The right-hander, like Darvish, was credited with a complete game last Wednesday in the 2-1 Yankees victory that didn’t resume after rain in the bottom of the fifth inning. Blue Jays 14, Red Sox 1: Melky Cabrera homered from both sides of the plate and drove in five runs and R.A. Dickey (9-10) pitched threehit ball for seven innings as Toronto romped past Boston. The Blue Jays won for the sixth time in seven games while the Red Sox lost one day after stopping a fivegame slide that began in Toronto with three losses. Astros 7, Athletics 3: Chris Carter, Jason Castro, Marc Krauss and Matt Dominguez each hit a home run to help Houston snap a five-game skid. Carter hit a monstrous three-run shot to center field in the third to give the Astros a lead, and Castro and Krauss went back-to-back in the sixth, with Castro’s homer a two-run shot. Krauss’ homer found the upper deck in right field and chased A’s starter Jesse Chavez (8-7). Two batters later, Dominguez sent a drive onto the railroad tracks in left field off reliever Dan Otero.

INTERLEAGUE Rays 2, Brewers 1: Jake Odorizzi (7-8) won his third consecutive start and James Loney had two RBIs to lead Tampa Bay past Milwaukee. Pirates 5, Giants 0: Vance Worley tossed a four-hitter for his first career shutout.

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Lakers confirmed Byron Scott is their new coach, finally making the long-anticipated announcement in a news release. Scott was to be introduced at a news conference today at the Lakers’ training complex. Scott told reporters during the weekend he had been hired by the Lakers, who have been without a coach since Mike D’Antoni resigned April 30. Scott is the 25th h e a d coach in the 16time NBA champions’ franchise history. Scott is 416-521 as a head coach for New Jersey, New Orleans and Cleveland, reaching two NBA Finals with the Nets. He has won three division titles, and he was the NBA’s coach of the year in 2008. Scott also was a shooting guard for the Lakers for 11 seasons, playing alongside Magic Johnson during the Showtime era. He was a teammate of Lakers star Kobe Bryant during his final NBA season, and Bryant has endorsed Scott for his new job.

Former Blazers Williams finds spot in Minnesota MINNEAPOLIS — Mo Williams is on his way to Minnesota, which means J.J. Barea could be on his way out. The Timberwolves and Williams have agreed to a $3.75 million, one-year contract, the player’s agency, Priority Sports, announced. The agreement gives the Timberwolves an experienced and versatile combo guard to play behind Ricky Rubio. Williams turns 32 in December and is coming off a season in Portland in which he averaged 9.7 points per game for his lowest output since his rookie year in 200304. But his ability to shoot — he is a career 38.5 percent shooter from 3-point range — and handle the ball made him an attractive target for the Timberwolves, who were looking for a quality veteran to play behind Rubio and alongside rookie Zach LaVine next season.

PRO FOOTBALL Lions delay Suh talks until after the season ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions are postponing contract talks with All-Pro defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh until after the season. Suh is entering the final season of his contract, and team president Tom Lewand and general manager Martin Mayhew said negotiations are being tabled. Lewand and Mayhew both expressed optimism that a deal can eventually be reached. The Lions selected Suh with the second overall pick 1 in 2010, and he has 27 ⁄2 sacks in his four pro seasons.

Players fight during practice in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA — For the second straight day a fight broke out between an offensive and defensive play-

er at Philadelphia Eagles training camp. Cornerback Bradley Fletcher took on wide receiver Jeremy Maclin one day after linebacker Trent Cole got into it with All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy. The Eagles’ defense ranked 29th in the NFL last year during Philadelphia’s worst-to-first season and was the main reason the Eagles lost to New Orleans in a wild-card playoff game.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Cincinnati is favored in new-look AAC race NEWPORT, R.I. — Cincinnati has been picked to win the American Athletic Conference, with defending champion Central Florida second. The Bearcats went 9-4 last season under coach Tommy Tuberville and returns 16 starters. They received 17 of 30 first-place votes from the media panel and 311 points. UCF, which went 12-1 and beat Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl last season, received seven first-place votes and 296 points. The Knights return 17 starters but must replace quarterback Blake Bortles. Houston was picked third with six first-place votes, followed by conference newcomer East Carolina. SMU was picked fifth, South Florida sixth and Memphis seventh. Temple came in eighth. UConn was tied for ninth with Tulane, also in its first season in the American. Tulsa was picked last in its first season in the conference.

COLLEGE SPORTS NCAA agrees to settle lawsuit over injuries CHICAGO — The NCAA has agreed to settle a classaction head injury lawsuit. A federal court filing obtained by The Associated Press says the NCAA will create a $70 million fund to test current and former college athletes for brain injuries. Players can use the results later as grounds for suing for damages. The NCAA also agreed to implement a single returnto-play policy spelling out how all teams must treat players who receive blows to the head. The settlement applies to multiple sports, including football, hockey, soccer, basketball, wrestling, field hockey and lacrosse. It covers both men and women. The filing Tuesday in Chicago notifies a judge that the parties have struck a deal after nearly a year of talks. Ten similar suits filed nationwide were consolidated into this lawsuit.

Dodgers trade for former Beaver Barney THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired second baseman Darwin Barney in a trade with the Chicago Cubs. Barney won a Gold Glove in 2012 after tying the major league single-season record with 141 consecutive errorless games. But the former Oregon State standout was designated for assignment last week after hitting .230 with 16 RBIs in 72 games this season. The last-place Cubs sent Barney and cash to NL Westleading Los Angeles for a player to be named. The trade was announced on Monday. Barney, who turns 29 in November, is a .244 career hitter with 18 homers and 146 RBIs in 542 games.

Blue Jays and Royals swap three players BOSTON — The Toronto Blue Jays have traded righthander Liam Hendriks and catcher Erik Kratz to the Kansas City Royals for infielder Danny Valencia. The 29-year-old Valencia hit .282 with two home runs and 11 RBIs in 36 games for Kansas City. He also has played for Minnesota, Boston and Baltimore. The 34-year-old Kratz hit .198 with three homers and 10 RBIs in 34 games for Toronto. Hendriks, 25, who will be assigned to Triple-A Omaha, was 1-0 with a 6.08 ERA in three starts for Toronto. He was a Triple-A All-Star this year at Buffalo, going 8-1 with a 2.33 ERA.

Female official earns her stripes BY ERIC OLSON The Associated Press

Cat Conti never played sports, let alone had any interest in them, when she was growing up in Southern California. She wanted to be a Hollywood star. Like many wannabe actors, she found herself waiting tables after college. And had it not been for her getting to know a high school coach at the sports grill where she worked, she wouldn’t be among the four women who will be on-field officials in the Football Bowl Subdivision this season. The 38-year-old Conti had been assigned to the Southeast Missouri StateKansas game on Sept. 6, making her the first woman to work a football game in the Big 12 Conference. “The ultimate goal is to be able to do it at the highest level,” Conti said. “Tennis players want to play Wimbledon, golfers want to play Pebble Beach, and football players want to get to the Super Bowl. The reality of it is, I’m hoping I get a second Big 12 game ever in my life.” Conti will work mostly as a line judge in the Mountain West for the second straight year. She landed the Big 12 gig through the league’s officiating partnership with the Mountain West and FCSlevel Southland Conference. Mountain West supervisor of officials Ken Rivera said Conti has moved up on merit and hasn’t drawn much notice from coaches — which is a good thing. “Usually coaches don’t call me to tell me how good an official is,” Rivera said. “They call because they have an issue, and we haven’t had any blowback with Cat at all.” Conference USA has three female officials in Sarah Thomas, Maia Chaka and Amanda Sauer. Thomas and Chaka also will work some NFL preseason games as part of the league’s developmental program. C-USA supervisor of officials Gerry Austin said he’s noticed more women work-

ing high school and smallcollege games the past decade. Austin said the women he hired in C-USA have proved to be every bit as good as their male colleagues when it comes to field presence, knowledge and ability to apply the rules. “If they get the call right, I don’t care if they’re women or mutants,” Austin said. “In the end, that’s what I’m judged by — do they get the call right, do they manage the game right. It behooves me to put people on the field who can make that happen. The fact we have diversity, is that a thought-out process? In reality, yes. We should have diversity.” Conti, from Thousand Oaks, California, said she knew nothing about football before she dated a boy in high school who was a San Francisco 49ers fan. She developed a passion for the game in college and became fascinated with the chain crew on the sideline. “As a theater arts major, I started lying to everybody for my own entertainment, telling them I’m going to move to San Francisco and be a yard-marker for the 49ers,” Conti said, laughing. “Every time the chain crew would go on the field for a measurement, I’d punch the guy next to me in the shoulder and say, ‘I’m totally going to do that someday.”’ She was waitressing the day she met local high school coach George Contreras and asked him, half-jokingly, how one gets a job on a chain crew. He suggested she pursue on-field officiating instead. A few months later he brought her a newspaper clipping about an upcoming orientation meeting for prospective officials. “I thought, ‘Why not?”’ Conti said. That was in 2000. Conti ascended through the high school and junior college ranks and, by 2010, had to resign from her job as a ninth-grade English and drama teacher so she could go all in on officiating. She now does personal training to

CLIPPERS From Page B1 Now they will go into next season flying high, just the way they play with Paul throwing alley-oop passes to big men Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. They will have an owner who’s already proven he won’t be afraid to spend, a sharp contrast to the famously frugal Sterling, who never particularly cared to spend his billions on his basketball team. That’s just part of the reason Sterling was long considered one of the worst owners in sports and his team one of its biggest laughingstocks. But the Clippers had zoomed past the Lakers as the best team in Los Angeles in their three years since acquiring Paul and are perhaps on their way to becoming one of the best in the league. They won 57 games last season, their most ever, before the Sterling recording was released during their firstround playoff series against Golden State. The Clippers pulled that out in seven games but who knows what toll, if any, dealing with the Sterling fallout took, and they were ousted by Oklahoma City in the next round. An unusual provision of the ruling bars Donald Sterling from seeking a court-ordered delay of the sale as he appeals. His lawyers plan to seek permission from an appellate court to file an appeal, and with lawsuits pending in state and federal courts, Monday’s ruling is unlikely to end the bizarre saga. But it gave the NBA, the Clippers and Ballmer hope that it all could be finished soon.

WHEATON

Line Judge Catherine Conti signals a touchdown at the Legacy Bowl Women’s Football Championship on Friday at District Three Stadium in Rock Hill, S.C. From Page B1 supplement her officiating income. Conti said she’s taken no more abuse than a male official would and that no one has outwardly questioned her ability based on her gender. Kansas coach Charlie Weis joked last week that he would have to watch his language in the presence of Conti.

Weis needn’t worry. Conti won’t be able to hear him because she’ll be working as center judge, the eighth official who stands in the offensive backfield opposite the referee. She will watch the interior line for holding and ready the ball for play. Conti said all she wants is to be treated like one of the guys.

“If everybody has to watch their language, or if everybody has to watch how they conduct themselves and I’m ‘super sensitive Suzy,’ then I don’t belong out there,” Conti said. “I’m in their world. That’s the reality. I am inserting myself into their universe, and I’m just happy to be there.”

“He definitely has the ability and the skills. He is going to be an emerging player.” Wheaton said it doesn’t matter where he plays. He learned intricacies of the outside and the slot and is OK with no matter where he lines up as long as he’s healthy. “I just want to be on the field and make plays for my team,” Wheaton said.

Beaujolais: The greatest secret in wine BY DAVID WHITE

My only real qualification for being able to judge the Coos County Fair’s apple pie contest is that I really like apple pie.

What to do with all that zucchini in the garden BY J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Zucchini bread is fine and all, but when you’re staring down a mountain of summer abundance, how much of it can you really eat? Convinced we could find more — and more creative — ways to use up a bounty of zucchini, we decided to explore out-of-the-box ideas for summer’s most notorious love-hate vegetable. The result? Some delicious ideas that will have you if not embracing then at least better tolerating your zucchini.

and only recently handed off the winemaking responsibilities, insists on traditional methods and a light touch — he wants the character of his vineyard, where many plantings are over 100 years old, to come through. As Diochon’s importer, Kermit Lynch, has written, “(the wine) is juicily delicious yet there is a majesty to it. It is full-blown and fullbodied, yet it has a lush, supple, swallowable texture. No hard edges. No astringency. No heat . . . it’s hard to imagine a world without wine like this.” Diochon isn’t the only producer in Beaujolais who belongs in any conversation about the pantheon of great wines. From the village of Morgon, Jean Foillard, Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Guy Breton deserve similar praise. Known as the “gang of four” — a moniker given to them by Kermit Lynch — these producers have held onto Beaujolais’ ancient practices of viticulture and vinification and today make rustic, mineral-driven wines with sappy fruit and tremendous intensity. In the appellation of Côte de Brouilly, Château Thivin has been producing exceptional wines for over a century. In Fleurie, fifthgeneration winegrower Cédric Chignard is safehis family’s guarding minimalist approach and producing distinctive, delicious wines. The list goes on. Across Beaujolais, an increasing number of producers are enhancing the reputation of

We tried 11 pies and there were 11 distinct taste profiles. Some had more or less sugar or cinnamon. Some crusts were thicker or thinner and some were flakier than others. Forty-six Coos County residents entered this year’s contest. That’s a significant increase from last year. I commend them all. If I could, I think I’d try entering next year’s contest. The idea of winning a new

electric range would be cool, but thinking about being named the top apple pie in the county would be great. After we tried all 11 pies, we did have three that we considered to be better than the others and passed them along to be judged by the expert panel that judges the finals every year. You have the same chance of getting onto that panel as you do to be selected pope or to the Supreme Court. And

PIES Continued from Page A1 Davis Brockman. Diane still comes down from Seattle for the fair every year and serves up the pie. Capeheart says that she’s

been using the same serving knife for years. “There are times when it’s gone missing, and she says, ‘I can’t cut a pie without my knife.’” No problems on this day. All the slices were perfect and the knife never left the table.

Each of the pies was identified only by a number. We decided to try the pies in numerical order, lowest number first. You’d think that we would have tried at least a few similar pies, but that wasn’t the case.

once you’re there, you’re pretty much there for life ... or as long as you want to do it. This year’s final judges were local television anchor David Walker, World sports editor John Gunther, Coos County Commissioner Bob Main, Russ James, Karen Tucker of Tucker Superstore in Coquille (next year’s sponsor of the stove for the winning pie), Timm Slater, the executive director of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce and World reporter Tim Novotny subbed in for Tracy Train. They had the tough job. They had to pick from 11 good pies to select the best in the county. And this year’s winner was ... drum roll please ... June Jennings of Coquille. And believe it or not, this was Jennings first attempt at making a pie for the fair. First runnerup was Kathy Schnur of Myrtle Point and the second runnerup was Dianna James of Broadbent. If this makes you want to enter next year’s contest, you don’t have to wait until next July to get started. The pies have to be frozen for the contest, so you could bake your pie next week and put it in the freezer for safekeeping over the winter. Sometimes life is tough, so when life gives you apples ... go ahead and make a pie.

the region by keeping yields low, rigorously sorting their grapes, avoiding manipulation in the cellar, and making real wine. Producers like Daniel Bouland, Jean-Paul Brun, Louis-Claude Desvignes, Jean-Louis Dutraive, and Julien Sunier are also worth seeking out. Purchasing wines of equal quality and consequence from any other region would quickly drain most bank accounts. Top wines from Beaujolais, however, can easily be found for under $25 per bottle. If you’re scratching your head, then you’re probably thinking of Beaujolais Nouveau, the easy drinking, fruity wine that floods ashore every November. Once just a local beverage to celebrate Beaujolais’ new harvest, Georges Duboeuf introduced the wine to the U.S. marketplace three decades ago and it became incredibly popular. Quality plummeted and Beaujolais gained a reputation for mass-produced, gimmicky plonk, hurting the reputation of everyone in the region. In 1914, when the Wine Society put Moulin à Vent on offer, oenophiles everywhere knew that Beaujolais could produce some of the world’s most complex, aromatic, and lively wines. The region still produces gorgeous wines in the world, but they’re mostly ignored. It’s no wonder why Michael Madrigale, one of the nation’s top sommeliers, recently told Eric Asimov of the New York Times that Beaujolais is “the greatest secret in wine.” He’s right. So before word gets out, stock up. David White is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com, which was named “Best Overall Wine Blog” at the 2013 Wine Blog Awards.
