Proposal presents new what-ifs for Jordan Cove financial windfall Bulk of LNG property taxes would flow to urban renewal district ■

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

Editor’s note: Thursday, we’ll look at the history of the Bay Area Enterprise Zone and where Jordan Cove’s property tax dollars would go if the enterprise zone ceased to exist. COOS BAY — If the Jordan Cove Energy Project backs out of the Community Enhancement Plan, its property tax dollars could flow in a few different directions.

On Monday, the Community Enhancement Plan work group discussed a draft agreement outlining when Jordan Cove would pay its annual community service fee, how much that fee would be and who would get the check. One clause changed substantially: The company has an out after the plan turns 7 years old. At that point, Jordan Cove could choose to not renew its long-term rural enterprise zone tax exemption, halting all future community service fee payments and essentially tossing out the CEP. “We didn’t participate in any conversations regarding that paragraph,” said Jordan Cove public affairs director Michael Hinrichs.

“In fact, we don’t have a role in the actual crafting process at all and haven’t seen any iterations of it. I’m not sure how it came about, but we’re leaving it to the working group and the enterprise zone entities to figure everything out.” Chris Claflin, Business Oregon’s business development officer for Coos, Curry and Douglas counties, said Jordan Cove has the right not to take the incentive. “The sponsors want you to use the incentive longer than maybe you want to,” he said. “It’s not something that’s anticipated in statute or rule.” Seven years into the plan, the taxing entities and proposed South Coast Community Foundation and

Waterfront Development Partnership would already have seven rounds of community service fee revenues and, if things go as planned, thriving endowments. But without this exemption, Jordan Cove would resume paying property taxes as usual and since it would sit in the North Bay Urban Renewal District, 99 percent of property tax dollars would go into its urban renewal agency — if it still exists. Voters put the district in place in 1985 as a way to cure blight, directing some property tax revenues to improvements — mostly infrastructure — within the district. SEE WINDFALL | A8

Scammers net more victims in phone fraud Caller claims to be Coos County law enforcement official ■

THE WORLD COQUILLE — A telephone scam from callers claiming to work for South Coast law enforcement has netted more than a dozen victims in a little more than a week. According to the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, a suspicious caller claiming to be an employee of the Coos County Sheriff’s Office and Coos County Circuit Court has been telling residents they missed jury duty, and that they must pay up or face jail time. Deputies say the caller, who has a Southern accent, is telling people they missed jury duty and that Coos County Circuit Court Judge Richard Barron has issued a warrant for their arrest. The caller is, of course, not affiliated with those agencies. The victims have been instructed to go to Walgreens or Fred Meyer to purchase a gift card, and then read the card’s number back to the caller. Sheriff’s dispatchers first began taking reports of the suspicious calls Thursday afternoon. The calls first came from a number with a 541-205 prefix, but have since come from 541591 and 541-217 numbers as well. According to information released Monday by the Sheriff’s Office, authorities are aware of one victim who lost money in the scam, though at least 14-16 others have received calls. The Sheriff’s Office is investigating and says it’s also forwarded the information to the Department of Justice. Anyone with information about the origins of the calls should call the Coos County Sheriff’s Office at 541-3967800.

BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — After a dismal winter, the U.S. economy sprang back to life in the AprilJune quarter, growing at a fast 4 percent annual rate on the strength of higher consumer and business spending. The rebound reported Wednesday by the Commerce Department followed a sharp 2.1 percent annualized drop in economic activity in the January-March quarter. That figure was revised up from a previous estimate of a 2.9 percent drop. But it was still the biggest contraction since early 2009 in the depths of the Great Recession. Last quarter’s bounce-back was broad-based, with consumers, businesses, the housing industry and state and local governments all combining to fuel growth. The robust expansion will reinforce analysts’ view that the economy’s momentum is extending into the second half of the year, when they

The government on Wednesday also updated its estimates of growth leading into this year. They show the economy expanded in the second half of 2013 at the fastest pace in a decade and more than previously estimated. The revised data also show that the economy grew faster in 2013 than previously

COQUILLE — Coos County commissioners will consider a home rule charter in an upcoming work session. Commissioner Melissa Cribbins said at the commissioners’ Tuesday meeting that she would like to form a committee to review the home rule charter process. Fairview residents Ronnie Herne and Jaye Bell are at the forefront of “Voice of the Voters,” Coos County Home Rule Charter 2014, an effort to reorganize county government and “create a local government that is responsive to, responsible to, and representative of the people of Coos County by promoting transparency and active voter participation,” according to the proposed charter. They have asked the county commissioners at numerous meetings to put their charter on the fall ballot. The commission-

ers have denied their requests every time. “It’s never a bad idea to relook at the county’s system of governance,” Cribbins said. “I don’t agree with some of the stuff in your charter, but I don’t think a charter is a bad idea.” Cribbins clarified that while she thinks a charter is worth considering, she has no interest in Herne and Bell’s proposal. Commissioner John Sweet said it would be a good idea to review charters in an upcoming work session. Herne and Bell’s home rule charter effort failed in Coos County in the 2012 election. Most recently, Curry County’s home rule charter, Measure 876, didn’t make it through the May primary.

Grand jury clears officers in Reedsport shooting ROSEBURG (AP) — The Douglas County district attorney’s office says a grand jury has found that an officer’s fatal shooting of a Reedsport man was justified. Glenn Glancey was shot July 17 at a mobile home park off U.S. Highway 101 in Reedsport. The 71-year-old died of his injuries three days later. The attorney’s office has scheduled a news conference Wednesday to discuss the grand jury’s investigation.

COOS BAY — The price of a gallon of regular unleaded has dropped since last week, and it is expected to continue on that downward path as long as nothing unexpected crops up.

prices at the pumps have fallen in the last week, led by several Midwestern states where prices have tumbled more than a dime per gallon. Not all is rosy in the northwest, however, as Pacific states continue to lead the market with the highest prices per gallon. The top five most expensive states are Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington. Oregon is also one of just four states where the current average is still more than it was a year ago. Still, as long as mother nature or world events don’t send things the other way, the prognosis is good for local motorists. “Looking into the crystal ball, prices should continue to drop over the next couple of weeks,” Dodds said. “Knowing what we now know, I would venture to say that our gas prices will be less on Labor Day than they were on the 4th of July — barring unforeseen events.”

dropped back below nine million barrels per day. Dodds says there are a few secrets to that success, starting with an ability to keep refineries up and running. “That’s the big part of it,” she said by phone Tuesday. “Often there are a number of refineries that are down for one reason or another. Basically, we have most functioning at capacity. Knock on wood, we have not been hit by major storms this year that can close them down. “The other big factor is that demand is relatively low. Fuel efficiency has been increasing for the last several years, and it looks like we are starting to make a dent.” The national average price for unleaded gasoline has dropped every day in July and has fallen on 32 consecutive days, which is just short of the multi-year record of 36 straight daily declines registered last fall.

Oregon needs food stamp reform A recent story in The Oregonian about a long-running (and extremely slow-moving) investigation into food stamp fraud in Klamath Falls should prompt renewed calls for reforms to strengthen the ability of caseworkers and others to ferret out fraud. In the Klamath Falls case, 65 people have been charged with trafficking in food stamp benefits. Most of the charges accuse defendants of illegally taking cash instead of food by selling their Oregon Trail cards to a Klamath Falls meat market for 50 cents on the dollar. When the charges were filed, the director of the Oregon Department of Human Services sent an email to Oregon legislators boasting about her department’s role in cracking the case. In fact, state workers had watched the fraud continue for more than two years before arrests were made. In 2013, an investigator warned the fraud was growing at an “alarming rate.” Arrests followed — 17 months later. It should serve as a reminder that relatively simple changes in laws and procedures can make a big difference. Printing recipients’ names on the Oregon Trail card would help reduce fraud, and would cost only about $1.3 million.Tightening procedures when cards are reported lost or missing — an issue in the Klamath Falls case — could help as well. The state estimates fraud in the program at half of 1 percent, and we have no reason to

On the other hand: Last year, the state paid out $1.2 billion in benefits. Half of 1 percent adds up to about $6 million. That’s a lot of money that could be going to people who really need it.

Don’t give Oregonians more health care whiplash All of the health care changes have been enough to give Oregonians whiplash. And in Oregon there’s another change coming. This one could be very good for consumers — as long as it’s done right. The new problem targeted by the Oregon Insurance Division is this: Consumers can have a hard time figuring out just how good a health insurance network is when they are selecting health insurance. The Oregon Insurance Division — in consultation with providers and insurers — is tackling this issue of network adequacy and trying to come up with legislation to propose for the 2015 session. The draft language sug-

gests Oregon may adopt rules for network adequacy that already exist, such as those for Medicare. That’s a good approach. Oregon is still reeling from trying to invent its own health care website. Let’s keep things simple for network adequacy. If insurers, providers or consumers believe they need more flexibility than the national standard Oregon adopts, then there can be discussion about Oregon coming up with its own standards in addition to a national standard. More transparency for consumers in picking a health plan should be a good thing. The state’s goal should be to achieve that with zero whiplash for consumers,providers and insurers.

Feds effectively limit Oregon’s timber industry The Oregon Department of Forestry’s annual report on timber production shows the need to increase logging on federal lands. The report contains good news and restates

a troubling trend. On the plus side, timber harvests in 2013 topped 4 billion board feet for the first time since 2006. Oregon produced enough timber to build 419,920 houses. The troubling trend is Oregon’s overreliance on private timberlands to the detriment of the environment and economy. Privately owned forests make up 34 percent of Oregon’s timberlands and produced 77 percent of the timber. The federal government manages 60 percent of the timberlands and yielded 13 percent of the harvest. It’s an old story. The federal government sells a fraction of the timber that grows each year on the lands it manages, putting pressure on private lands to meet demand. Gov. John Kitzhaber’s task force on Oregon & California Railroad lands concluded in early 2013 that Oregon’s private timberlands would be insufficient in flush times. Private forests still have untapped capacity and may be able to meet demand. Still, communities surrounded by federal forests won’t benefit as much as they should from the good times. Mills that depend on federal logs will miss out, too. Also, private timber can be exported as raw logs, diminishing the number of jobs created. Yes, the timber industry is bounding back. Right now, though, the federal government has a ceiling over how high the rebound can be. The Roseburg News-Review

Why it’s called the boob tube There is a TV series about an entire town trapped under a giant, mysterious crystalclear dome that appears out of the blue one day. The dome is impenetrable; no one can get in, no one can get out. Who made the dome? Aliens? God? A super-secret branch of the U.S. government? No one knows. It’s a mystery. No one under the dome can communicate with the outside world and vice versa, except by putting your hands against it and looking soulfully at people on the other side while your mouth flaps silently. No radio, no TV, no voice, no smart- or dumb-phones. I suppose they could write things on pieces of paper and show it to people on the outside and vice versa, or bring by some lipreaders or find people on both sides who know American sign language, but no one inside or outside the dome seems to know how to do anything but text,which is now useless. Besides, what would you say? “We’re trapped under a big dome and can’t get out”? Most people can figure that out without JIM anyone telling them. MULLEN Stephen King wrote this, and he has written Humorist some of the most creepy, chilling and terrifying books ever, so it’s a puzzlement how the only mysterious thing about this show is why anyone watches it. Even if you can get past the unappealing, stereotypical, cartoonish characters, life under the dome makes no sense. Where does their food come from? Where does their garbage go? Where does the gas for their cars come from? Why doesn’t their air run out? Why don’t they have smog? Why isn’t it as hot as a greenhouse in there? Why is the grass green with no rain? Why does no one under the dome have a sense of humor? Even in the darkest days of World War II, we had Bill Mauldin cartoons and Bob Hope. Rather than some kind of eerie,cosmic,sci-fi thriller, this is more like “The Young and the Restless” under glass with soap opera-ish plot lines. Pretty soon I expect to find out the bad guy is really the evil twin of the good guy who is tied up in a room somewhere, and that three husbands ago one of characters was abducted by aliens, but since she’s had amnesia for the last five years, she forgot all about it. One of the promotional spots for this show bragged that it’s perfect for summer viewing. What does that mean? That we wouldn’t watch this show if it were on in the winter? Do network executives think our brains go soft in the summer and then harden when the cold weather returns? Do people who live in the South have different TV brains than those in the North? But maybe the climate does change our brains. I’ve heard the most popular show in Norway is the “Yule Log.” This could have been a wonderful show and a gigantic hit if King had changed one little thing: if the dome appeared over the Kardashians’ home while all the housewives from Orange County, Atlanta, New Jersey and everywhere else just happened to be visiting that day. And just by coincidence, the Bachelor and the Bachelorette, Gordon Ramsay, all the people who were ever on “Survivor” and “Big Brother” as well as a few of the most egotistical but completely untalented contestants from “American Idol.” Now that would be a show. And in this version, the food does run out, the garbage starts to smell, and maybe the air starts to get a little thin. Tune in next week to find out what happens when there’s nothing for the Kardashians to buy.

Letters to the Editor Obama caused border problems Concerning the AP article “2008 law unexpectedly at center of border debate” I read on The World’s national page of July 22, it is true that President George W. Bush signed H.R. 7311, the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, on Dec. 23, 2008, thinking he was fighting the global traffic in sex slaves, many of them children. The Democratic Congress that passed the bill agreed. But the article fails to mention the unintended consequences of the additional catalyst behind the mushrooming numbers of children making a beeline for our border. Conveniently omitted is President Obama’s June 15, 2012, announcement that DHS will

use discretion to halt the deportations of eligible immigrant That day, Janet youth. Napolitano, secretary of DHS, had issued the memorandum: Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion with Respect to Individuals Who Came to the United States as Children. Predictably, Obama administration officials deny that lenient policies, including it’s 2012 program, have encouraged the sudden surge. Once again they are saying, blame it on Bush! But the numbers don’t lie. In FY2012: 6,775 unaccompanied alien children were detained. In FY2013: 24,668, in FY2014: 60,000-plus estimated total. ICE numbers show only 1,669 deportations of immigrants under age 18 in 2013 (LA Times: Deportation data won’t dispel rumors drawing migrant minors

to U.S.). That’s only 6.8 percent! On “Fox News Sunday,” July 20, Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz largely pinned the border crisis on Obama’s 2012 executive memo. “The cause of this crisis is the promise of amnesty,” he said. Cruz argued the number of children trying to enter the U.S. illegally has “skyrocketed” since 2012, when Obama allowed some young illegal immigrants to be eligible for delayed deportation. He says roughly 6,000 children were apprehended in 2011 coming into the U.S. illegally, compared to an estimated 90,000 coming this year and 145,000 in 2015. Cruz said that the way to help the children is to “eliminate the magnet, which is President Obama’s amnesty.” The new “shot heard around the world” is send your children anyway you can to the USA.

They will be allowed to stay, be well taken cared of, get free legal help and education. What happens when the bill for that care comes due? Veterans Affairs, Medicare and Social Security funding, among others, can all take a back seat for this newest Obama fiasco. Raymond Straub Charleston

The over-policing of America I want the police to be better armed than the bad guys, but what exactly does that mean today? Apparently it means the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security equip even the tiniest rural police departments with massive military vehicles, body armor and grenade launchers. The equipment is surplus from the long wars we fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. To a hammer, everything resembles a nail. SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) teams were once used only in emergencies such as riots or robberies where hostages were taken. But today there are more than 50,000 “noknock raids” a year. It’s not because crime got worse. There is less crime today. Crime peaked around 1990 and is now at a 40-year low. But as politicians keep passing new criminal laws,police find new reasons to deploy their heavy equipment. Washington Post reporter Radley Balko points out that they’ve used SWAT teams to raid such threatening haunts as truck

with stops video poker machines, unlicensed barber shops and a frat house where underage drinking was reported. In New York City, these men JOHN in black raided STOSSEL standup come- Columnist dian Joe Lipari’s apartment. “I had bad customer service at the Apple Store,” Lipari told me in an interview for my upcoming TV special “Policing America.” “So I bitched about it on Facebook. I thought I was funny.I quoted ‘Fight Club,’”the 1999 movie about bored yuppies who attack parts of consumer culture they hate. “People (on Facebook) were immediately responding that it was obviously from ‘Fight Club,’” says Lipari. “It was a good time, until 90 minutes later, a SWAT team knocked on my door. Everyone’s got their guns drawn.” It took only that long for

authorities to deem Lipari a threat and authorize a raid by a dozen armed men. SWAT raids are dangerous, and things often go wrong. People may shoot at the police if they mistake the cops for ordinary criminals and pick up guns to defend their homes against invasion. Sometimes cops kill the frightened homeowner who raises a gun. Because America has so many confusing laws, and also because cops sometimes make mistakes, it’s harder to assume — as conservatives often do — that as long as you behave yourself, you have nothing to fear. The raids should also trouble libertarians who sometimes believe that government can mostly be trusted when it sticks to “legitimate” functions like running police, courts and the military. Government always grows, and government is force. Force is always dangerous. It’s healthy for conservatives, libertarians and liberals alike to worry about the militarization of police.Conservatives worry about

a repeat of incidents like the raids on religious radicals at Ruby Ridge and Waco, Texas. Liberals condemn police brutality like the recent asphyxiation death of a suspect at the hands of police in New York. This is a rare issue where I agree with left-wing TV host Bill Maher. On his TV show last week, Maher ranted about no-knock raids “breaking up poker games, arresting low-level pot dealers.” “It’s a guy who sells weed,” says Maher. “You don’t need to shoot his dog and crash through his window.” But they do. If cops continue to take a warlike us-versus-them approach to policing the population, they just might bring the left and right together. Government is reckless, whether it is intruding into our lives with byzantine regulations that destroy a fledgling business or with a flash-bang grenade like the one that critically wounded a child in a recent SWAT raid in Janesville, Ga. Regardless of our political leanings, we should be wary of big government in all its forms.

State Family’s dirty little secret is better left unexposed DEAR ABBY: My husband’s family are hypocrites! They talk about everyone and their problems, yet when something arises in DEAR their family, they want it kept hushhush. My sister-in-law, “Gina,” had a baby r e c e n t l y. Her husb a n d , JEANNE “Allan,” was PHILLIPS suspicious because their sexual relations had stopped years ago. He did a store-bought DNA test (twice) and realized the baby was not his. When he confronted her, she wouldn’t tell him who the father is, but said she had discussed the pregnancy with the father, and they had decided it would be best for her to raise the baby as her husband’s. Well, Allan and Gina are now being divorced, and he’s having his name removed from the baby’s birth certificate. Of course, everyone but me wants this to stay quiet. I want the wife of the man to know, and I want ALL the people my in-laws trash all the time to know! Perhaps this seems mean, but DANG IT, why shouldn’t everyone know that Gina isn’t Miss Perfect? What do you think? – TICKED OFF IN LOUISIANA DEAR TICKED OFF: Please don’t act on impulse. I think that as disgusted as you are with your in-laws, you should keep your mouth shut. If you spread this around, it could become the talk of the community and eventually embarrass the CHILD, who is blameless in all this. DEAR ABBY: I am a man who has recently fallen in love with a beautiful maleto-female transgender. She considers herself a woman, but on social media lists herself as male. I am wondering whether I should consider myself gay, bisexual or straight? I always considered myself straight until recently. — NO LONGER SURE IN TEXAS DEAR NO LONGER SURE: Because the person presents herself to you as female, then you are a straight man who has fallen in love with a transgender woman. If you were attracted only to members of the same sex, then you would be a homosexual. People who are attracted to both men and women are bisexual. DEAR ABBY: I use public transportation to commute to and from work. I use the time to read and unwind from my day. People often start talking to me, and I find myself trapped for the next 45 minutes listening to an unwelcome monologue about their lives. The fact that I have earplugs in and a book on my lap is no deterrent. I don’t want to be rude. What’s the best way to tell someone I prefer to chill out and not listen to his/her ramblings? — BOOKWORM IN CALGARY, CANADA DEAR BOOKWORM: Smile at the person and say, “I need this time to catch up on my reading.” That’s asserting your right to privacy, and it’s not rude.

People gather on the shores of Lake Selmac near Selma, on Monday, to watch the Reeves Creek fire. The fire burned about 200 acres of drought-parched woods and threatened seven homes in a rural area about 15 miles southwest of Grants Pass. By Tuesday, a fire line was built around 70 percent of the fire, according to Oregon Department of Forestry.

Fire threatens 7 homes outside Grants Pass GRANTS PASS (AP) — Firefighters have nearly contained a wildfire that threatened seven rural homes in drought-parched woods about 15 miles southwest of Grants Pass. Oregon Department of Forestry spokesman Brian Ballou said the Reeves Creek fire was spotted Monday evening between the communities of Selma and Kerby a few miles east of U.S. Highway 199. It sent up a column of smoke visible from Grants Pass. Ballou said by Tuesday morning, there was a line around 70 percent of the fire, which had burned about 200 acres. No one was evacuated, but firefighters were stationed around the homes and a nearby trailer park. Retardant bombers, helicopters and

bulldozers joined hand crews. The cause was under investigation, but there were no lighting strikes in the area, Ballou said. Red flag warnings were in effect because of hot temperatures, wind and isolated lighting across southwestern Oregon on both sides of the Cascades. Intense lighting was predicted from central Oregon east to the Idaho border through the end of the week. Across eastern Oregon, 11 large fires were still burning on 822 square miles of timber and rangeland, according to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland. Eight of them were 80 percent contained or more. They were all touched off by lightning storms over the past two weeks. A total of 2,912 people were fighting them.

One small fire erupted Monday on Crater Lake National Park, apparently touched off by lightning the previous week. The Pumice Flat fire was burning through about 25 acres of mixed conifers in the south central part of the park. There were 55 people fighting it but no estimated date for containment. The park and facilities remained open, but hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail were warned to expect delays in coming weeks. Another new fire was burning high in the Cascades in the Sky Lakes Wilderness on the Fremont-Winema National Forest about 24 miles west of Klamath Falls. The fire was reported at 100 acres, 9 miles north of Lake of the Woods. Some trails and campgrounds near the fire were closed.

Cover Oregon rehires manager to help with lawsuit PORTLAND (AP) — A manager of Cover Oregon who resigned after the failure of the state’s online insurance exchange came to light has been re-hired to help with litigation over the botched website. The Oregonian reports former chief information officer Aaron Karjala has signed a $70,000 contract with Cover Oregon to provide information about the history of the exchange project. The state is considering suing Oracle Corp., accusing the main developer of its failed exchange of shoddy work. Oracle blames the state for mismanaging the project. The state paid Oracle $134 million in federal funds to build the online enrollment system. Karjala resigned in late March, the fourth top Cover Oregon official to resign. The state ditched the Oracle-built website and is switching to the federally run exchange.

U of O assault records can’t be released EUGENE (AP) — The Lane County district attorney has rejected an appeal from journalists for records of an investigation into sexual assault allegations against University of Oregon basketball players. The Eugene RegisterGuard and The Oregonian argued that the public is entitled to learn what university leaders knew about the allegations and when they knew it. But District Attorney Alex Gardner sided with the university Monday. The school said federal law forbids it to release records that identify an individual student.

STATE D I G E S T The Register-Guard’s general counsel, Wendy Baker, said it would sue for the records. After a student reported in March that she was assaulted, three players were dismissed from the team and barred from campus. They said the sexual contact was consensual. The district attorney said there wasn’t enough evidence to bring charges.

Homeless woman accused in jail fire MEDFORD (AP) — Medford police say a homeless woman charged in three arson cases and the top suspect in several more has been accused of setting a small fire in a public restroom at the county jail. Lt. Mike Budreau tells the Medford Mail Tribune surveillance video of the Jackson County jail lobby shows 57-year-old Debra Irene Johns was in the women’s restroom for about 50 minutes last week when the fire was set. Officers say that a few hours later, they were investigating fire reports at Hawthorne Park when they caught her as she fled while

discarding pieces of tissue paper. She’s accused of arson and reckless burning. Police say they’re trying to assemble forensic evidence in 19 other fires from the last month. Nobody has been hurt.

Ex-cheerleader caught in San Francisco PORTLAND (AP) — The FBI says an Oregon woman accused of sex trafficking a minor has been arrested a month after she removed an ankle monitoring device and failed to show for a court hearing. Agency spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele says San Francisco police arrested 19year-old Julia Lynn Haner on Monday. She’s charged in California with sex trafficking and possession of a concealed weapon. In Oregon, the former competitive cheerleader was indicted in April on accusations that she recruited for prostitution a 17-year-old girl with whom she used to ride the school bus to Lake Oswego High School. Haner pleaded not guilty and was allowed to live at home while wearing the monitoring device as the legal proceedings continued. The FBI did not release details about her arrest in San Francisco.

SALEM (AP) — Oregon insurance regulators are seeking the authority to require private insurers to have enough doctors and other health care providers to adequately serve all their customers. The move comes as a growing number of insurance companies seek to save money by shrinking the number of providers in their network. Regulators also say consumers need more transparency when shopping for insurance, including information about which doctors are covered and whether they are accepting new patients. The Oregon Insurance Division has created a task force that is working on a bill for the 2015 Legislature to consider. The group, which includes representatives from many of Oregon’s insurance companies and from various sectors of the health care industry, will meet Thursday. “We’re looking to make the shopping experience — and also using your health plan — a better experience for consumers, so they get accurate information and can make decisions that are appropriate for their own care,” said Gayle Woods, a senior policy adviser at the Insurance Division. Nationally, some insurance companies are lowering costs by culling their list of contracted doctors and hospitals, shedding higher-cost providers and gaining negotiating leverage with those that remain. The task force is still negotiating the specific proposal to be presented to lawmakers. The current draft suggests two ways for insurers to meet the mandate for

Visitors duck parking fee at wildlife areas — (AP) MEDFORD Oregon officials imposed a parking charge at a dozen wildlife areas two years ago, hoping to raise money for improvements and trail maintenance from “nonconsumptive users” — mostly birdwatchers, hikers and anglers. The result: A lot of people are parking a little farther away, outside the area where permits are required, such as along the shoulders of roads leading to the preserves, and then walking in. That gets them out of parking charges of $7 a day or $22 for the year. At the E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area outside Corvallis, a couple of inspections showed about half the cars bringing visitors had parked outside the permit area, said Keith Kohl, wildlife area program coordinator for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. “There is a user group there that has a blog telling people where to park to avoid the fees,” he told the Medford Mail Tribune. “We get telephone calls from people who buy the permits asking why other

people parking their cars can get away with this,” he said Now the agency is proposing to tweak the rules by including vehicles parked by anyone entering the wildlife areas, including those parked on the shoulder of a road outside the marked parking spots. The state Fish and Wildlife Commission will take up the proposal Friday in Salem. As currently drafted, the proposal would go into effect late next week if adopted. The parking permit program was developed to find a way for nonhunting visitors to help fund the wildlife areas that were bought with taxes on guns and ammunition and run with money from hunting license fees. Oregonians who buy hunting licenses get a parking permit as well. Before 2012, the only parking permit needed at a wildlife area was on the Columbia River’s Sauvie Island, by far the most visited of the 16 state-run wildlife areas. It worked so well at Sauvie Island that the commission in 2012 decided to phase in an expansion.

network adequacy. They could meet a standard based on existing federal requirements for companies offering Medicare Advantage plans. The Medicare requirements look at the number of providers as well as the travel time and distance, but state officials say they would likely modify them to fit the needs of the commercial insurance market. Alternatively, insurers could meet the mandate through another method, such as measurements of the health of their customers. If lawmakers sign off, insurance regulators would then decide on specific criteria for measuring compliance. Insurers are hoping state regulations don’t add new red tape or prevent them from selling so-called narrow-network plans. “Our hope is that any new state network adequacy requirements would add additional value for members and work with the existing federal requirements without adding any unnecessary complexity,” said Peter McGarry, vice president of the provider network at Pacific Source Health Plans. Cheryl Vandemore, chief marketing officer for Health Republic, a small nonprofit health plan in the Portland area, said overseeing network adequacy “seems like a legitimate role” for insurance regulators. “We definitely think the public needs someone looking out for them, at least so they know what they’re buying and somebody isn’t using a strategy that’s going to deny them care when they need it,” Vandemore said.

Nation and World Landslide traps over 150 people in India NEW DELHI (AP) — A landslide hit a village in western India following torrential rains Wednesday, sweeping away scores of houses and raising fears that more than 150 people could be trapped, officials said. Federal rescue workers were being hampered by continuing rains and poor roads leading to the village of Ambe in Pune district in Maharashtra state, where the landslide buried about 40 houses, said local commissioner Prabhakar Deshmukh.

Palestinians collect body parts in a classroom at Abu Hussein U.N. school in Jebaliya refugee camp, northern Gaza Strip, hit by an Israeli strike Wednesday.A Palestinian health official says 15 people were killed after tank shells hit the U.N.-run school where hundreds of Palestinians had taken refuge from Israeli attacks.

Shelling of UN school kills 15 as Gaza war rages JEBALIYA REFUGEE CAMP, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli tank shells slammed into a crowded U.N. school sheltering Gazans displaced by fighting Wednesday, killing 15 and wounding 90 after tearing through the walls of two classrooms, a spokesman for a U.N. aid agency and a health official said. Israeli airstrikes and shelling also killed 40 Palestinians elsewhere in the coastal territory Wednesday, including multiple members of two families struck in their homes, health officials said. The Israeli military said mortar shells had been fired from near the school, and that soldiers fired back. Later Wednesday, the military declared a four-hour humanitarian cease-fire in parts of Gaza beginning at 3:00 p.m., but Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri

said it lacked any “value” because it excluded border areas from where Hamas wanted to evacuate the wounded. The Israeli military said forces were still working to demolish tunnels in certain areas of the Strip. It said at least two rockets were fired at Israel following its declaration to partially hold fire. The latest violence further dimmed hopes of a sustainable truce in the fighting, now in its fourth week. The strike at the U.N. school in the Jebaliya refugee camp came on the heels of Israel’s heaviest air and artillery assault so far in the conflict. Israel escalated its campaign on Tuesday, with airstrikes destroying key symbols of Hamas power, including the home of the top Hamas leader. Gaza’s only power plant was shut down after shells set its

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The quiet summer campus of UCLA found itself suddenly steeped in water and chaos after a major water pipe burst and spewed some 8 million gallons, stranding people in parking garages and flooding the school’s storied basketball court less than two years after a major renovation. The 30-inch,nearly century old pipe burst Tuesday afternoon under nearby Sunset Boulevard, sending water 30 feet into the air, opening a 15foot hole in the street and inundating part of the campus that soon was swarmed with police and firefighters.

D I G E S T impersonators — Times Square costumed characters who often demand money for posing in photos with tourists. The city wants to rein in a summertime spike in badly behaving characters such as the Spider-Man accused of punching a police officer recently. “This has gone too far,” a frustrated Mayor Bill de Blasio said this week. “It’s time to take some real steps to regulate this reality.”

Mississippi to decide on abortion ruling JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi’s governor and attorney general will have to decide whether to challenge a federal appeals court ruling that is keeping the state’s only abortion clinic in business. A panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 Tuesday to block a 2012 Mississippi law that requires abortion doctors to obtain admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. When Republican Gov. Phil Bryant signed the law, he said he hoped it would end abortion in the state. In defending the law, state attorneys said women with unwanted pregnancies could always travel to other states. But the appellate judges ruled that every state must guarantee constitutional

DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — International observers turned back Wednesday after making another attempt to reach the site where Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 went down in eastern Ukraine, and a government official said the area near the zone had been mined by pro-Russian separatists who control it. Observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe set out in two vehicles — without frustrated crash investigators from the Netherlands who have been trying to reach the site for four days.

Ex-security czar Zhou under investigation BEIJING (AP) — China’s ruling Communist Party announced an investigation into a feared ex-security chief, demonstrating President Xi Jinping’s firm grip on power and breaking a longstanding taboo against publicly targeting the country’s topmost leaders. If he goes to trial, Zhou Yongkang would be the highest-level official to be prosecuted since the 1981 treason trial of Mao Zedong’s wife and other members of the “Gang of Four,” who mercilessly persecuted political opponents during the chaotic 1966-76 Cultural Revolution.

Senate likely to come up short on border bill WASHINGTON (AP) — A bill to deal with the immigration surge at the border appears headed for procedural defeat in the Senate as lawmakers trade blame over their inaction on the crisis. Days ahead of Congress’ five-week summer recess, Senate Democrats’ $3.5 billion emergency spending bill designed to help deal with tens of thousands of young migrants crossing the border illegally has yet to draw the necessary support to move forward. A vote in the Senate was expected Wednesday. The inclusion of hundreds

of millions of dollars to fight Western wildfires and provide aid for Israel’s defense hasn’t been enough to win over Republicans, who changes demand legal rejected by Democrats to return the young migrants more quickly to Central America. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said it was Republicans’ fault that the Senate looked set to adjourn for August without addressing what both parties have called a humanitarian crisis. Republicans “oppose everything the president

wanted. Here is an example of that,” he said. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., disputed that, saying, “The problem is the Democratic Senate.” With polls showing the public paying close attention to the immigration crisis, House Republicans were hoping they could act on their own solution, a slimmed-down, $615 million measure that leaves out the money for wildfires and Israel but includes the contentious policy changes rejected by Senate Democrats.

NATIONAL FORECAST SATURDAY

At the same time, a higher trade deficit slowed growth as imports outpaced a solid increase in exports. Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said that given the solid rebound last quarter, he’s boosting his estimate for growth this year to a 2 percent annual rate, up from a previous 1.7 percent forecast. Ashworth said the rebound also supported his view that the Federal Reserve, which is ending a two-day meeting Wednesday, will be inclined to start raising interest rates early next year. Most economists have been predicting that the Fed would wait until mid-2015 to start raising rates. “At the margin, this GDP report supports our view that an improving economy will persuade the Fed to begin raising rates in March next year,” Ashcroft wrote in a research note. Ashcroft is among a group of economists who think growing strength in the job market and the overall economy will prod the Fed to move faster to raise rates to make sure inflation doesn’t get out of hand.

WINDFALL URA could reject revenue Continued from Page A1 Now that infrastructure is in place, nixing the need for the urban renewal agency to continue, Coos County Commissioner Bob Main said last fall. Coos County alone has the power to disband the URA, but can’t do so until all indebtedness has been paid, according to ORS 457.075. If an urban renewal agency doesn’t have debt, it’s not supposed to exist, Main said. But these URAs often “stay in debt intentionally” to continue existing, said county Assessor Steve

The GDP report showed that one measure of inflation rose 2 percent last quarter, up from a 1.3 percent rise in the first quarter. The Fed’s inflation target is 2 percent, and for two years the GDP measure of inflation has been running below that level. Low inflation has given the Fed leeway to focus on boosting growth to fight high unemployment. The economy’s sudden contraction in the first quarter of this year had resulted from several factors. A severe winter disrupted activity across many industries and kept consumers away from shopping malls and auto dealerships. Consumer spending slowed to an annual growth rate of just 1.2 percent, the weakest showing in nearly three years. Last quarter, consumer spending, powered by pentup demand, accelerated to a growth rate of 2.5 percent. That was double the pace of the first quarter. Spending on durable goods such as autos surged at a 14 percent annual rate, the biggest quarterly gain since 2009. Analysts said that was an encouraging sign of consumers’ growing willingness to increase purchases of big-ticket items like cars. Consumer spending is closely watched because it accounts for more than two-thirds of economic activity.

Jansen. If Jordan Cove were to opt out of the property tax exemption and if the county were to disband the urban renewal district after that 120-day notice, about 55 percent of the property taxes would go to the Coos Bay School District, South Coast Education Service District and Southwestern Oregon Community College, all of which would be subject to clawback through the school funding equalization formula. In this case, 15.82 percent of the pie would go to the county; the rest would go to the North Spit taxing entities.

South Coast’s dream teams For the life of me, I can’t think of a single thing I’ve wanted to talk about pertaining to the Major League all summer. Four months in and I can’t come up with a single topic that piques my interest. But it’s a pretty solid hump day to be following the summer league baseball teams around the South Coast. We have three local teams still alive and one that just barely made its exit this past weekend. First the obituary. The Three Rivers Sandblasters got their final ticket punched Sunday in their super regional in Roseburg after losing their final two games. First year manager Ryan Fobert and his mix of talent made this team consistently fun to follow, even if they played their home games up in Florence. Kids from neighboring cities like Taylor Travess from Springfield, Connor Qualley From Siuslaw and Tyler Dordan from Newport were a welcome change. Zach Inskeep was a beast SPORTS behind the plate for North Bend this season, but add two years of varsity experience with the older pitchers he’s been facing — Inskeep’s only going to be a junior next year — GEORGE and he could be a ARTSITAS force next season. On Tuesday, my boss, John Gunther, previewed the North Coos Waterfront as they prepare for their first game at the state tournament in Medford. I’ve known Jon Bennison as a monster on the mound for awhile now. He’ll be the ace on North Bend’s staff next year (again) and should compete to be one of the best in the Far West League. What I didn’t know was how viable an option he’s going to be replacing Tylan Corder’s power in the middle of the order. Emmett Cook is playing well enough to force me to remember how to spell his name. Marshall Rice has developed into a solid leadoff option and should grow to be one of the studs for North Coos/North Bend head coach Brad Horning next year. I don’t know why, but Jared Hampel reminds me of a pit bull, in a good way though. Youngster Trey Cornish seems to have the right skills. It’s a lineup chock full of future studs. Plus old kids like Hunter Jackson and Robert Martino get the chance to possibly bid their baseball careers adieu with a deep run into the state tournament. Then there’s the REAL young ‘uns. The South Coast Babe Ruth all stars are sending two teams to different tournaments in two different states. The 13- to 15-year-olds were so confident heading into the state tournament in Klamath Falls, they thought they should’ve been favored. After validating their confidence with a title, they’ll now play teams from the entire Pacific Northwest in Baker City next week. They aren’t the odds-on favorite this time, but the experience should be a blast for the kids. I got to watch the Babe Ruth all star 13-year-olds punch their ticket to Helena, Mont., in person. When they won their championship game at home against Umpqua Valley, the crowd rivaled the best I’ve seen at Clyde Allen. They had reasons to cheer. A skyscraper named Cory Stover nearly hit a 300-foot homer before hitting high school. (Stover was taller than me in cleats, which is emasculating but probably a good thing for whatever high school roster he ends up on). And it wouldn’t be even a summer memoir if I didn’t mention Walter White, the 13-year-old’s coach. Other than being a very personable guy, White shares the name with one of the greatest characters in television history. I just hope White and the rest of the local teams don’t take his “Breaking Bad” character’s advice. The next few weekends, don’t tread lightly.

Babe Ruth team now dressed for success BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

NORTH BEND — On Tuesday, a Jeep Wrangler whipped into the parking lot of Clyde Allen Field, and before the driver shifted it into park, the entire 13-year-old Babe Ruth all-star team smothered it. The trunk flipped open and inside were stacks of brown boxes packed with the South Coast’s new uniforms for their trip to regionals in Helena, Mont., this weekend. And the new uniforms aren’t going to be hard to notice. The T-shirt style jerseys are neon green, with the words “South Coast” split between two baseball seams ripping down the chest. The names on the back are in a gothic font that look inspired by the energy drink Monster’s logo. Their custom helmets — equipped with an “O” on the forehead — had Gabe Simington saying that they’re “comfier than my pillow.” “It’s something different,” South Coast’s coach Walter White said. ”I think we’re ready to go now.” The team will each be making the over 15-hour trip up by themselves for the most part, but action kicks off with the opening ceremony on Thursday. The team will be in full uniform for the banquet, hopefully mingle and get some of the jitters out while they settle into a new time zone. The game action starts Friday,

beginning with a matchup against Alberta, then Southern Washington, followed by Northern Washington and hometown Helena on Saturday. None of the South Coast kids have experience in a tournament this size, and except for some of the bigger tournaments they’ve had over the few years around the Oregon valley, this will be a new type of competition. “(It’s) nothing compared to what we’re gonna see with the amount of teams and the competition,” White said. “I think our pitchers staff is solid.” Pitchers like lefty Simington, Corbin White, Griffin Lavigne and Jayden Frank make for the a key chunk of the staff. The size of the tournament isn’t lost on them. “I’m probably just going to be nervous,” Simington said. “I can’t even help it.” Mane Freeman will be doing the catching and knows his pitchers strengths — Simmington has a good curveball, Jayden and White are consistently accurate. They make his responsibility much easier. “(My job is) to stop bad pitches,” Freeman said. “Everyone throws pretty good (though).” White plans on having an unusual approach for picking his pitcher the day of. He wants to check and see who’s ready to go and who might be thinking too much,

then make his decision off that. “You can see if they’re ready to go or if they’re nervous,” White said. What White can plan on is having Frank as his closer. This might be the biggest stage Frank has ever had to pitch on, but pressure is just an occupational hazard for a closer. “I just have to try and do my best every time,” Frank said. “(Closing is) what I do and what I like doing. I’m excited. It’s going to be fun.” On the offensive side of the ball, South Coast will lead off with Frank, then have probably Freeman follow, with Lavigne and Cory Stover filling into the three and four spots. After that, White has a “bunting core” to advance the top of the order, then ideally cleans up the base paths with Corbin and Kyle Barnes at the bottom of the lineup. The plan is set, it’s just staying focused and executing that will be their biggest hurdle. “We’re pretty rowdy normally in the dugout (during games),” Simmington said. “We definitely need to get our heads in the game.” White said he’d like to get the chance to play Sunday, which will probably take going 3-1 in the first two days. Even though just getting the chance to go to Montana is an experience in itself, the goal is still the same. “We had a good year,” Freeman said. “Hopefully we win though.”

NCAA settles head-injury suit, will change rules BY MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif.— Ray Guy built a Hall of Fame career of making other people wait. Those anxious seconds for punt returners awaiting his booming kicks were nothing compared to the more than two decades Guy had to endure before finally getting the call that he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The seemingly interminable wait will come to an end Saturday in Canton, Ohio, when Guy gets to put on the Hall of Fame blazer for the first time as he becomes the first true punter to get inducted into the exclusive club. As much as Guy wanted personally to be a Hall of Famer, he also wanted it for his position, which he believed got disrespected every time he was passed over for the honor. “That kind of bothered me because they were saying that’s not a positon, it doesn’t take an athlete to do that, it’s not important,” Guy said. “That’s what really got under my skin. It wasn’t so much whether I did or didn’t. I wish somebody had. It was just knowing that they didn’t care. “That’s what kind of frosted me a little bit.” Guy was a finalist seven times starting in 1992 SEE GUY | B2

CHICAGO — The NCAA agreed on Tuesday to help athletes with head injuries in a proposed settlement of a class-action lawsuit that college sports’ governing body touted as a major step forward but that critics say doesn’t go nearly far enough. The deal, filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, calls for the NCAA to toughen return-to-play rules for players who receive head blows and create a $70 million fund to pay for thousands of current and former athletes to undergo testing to determine whether they suffered brain trauma while playing football and other contact sports. A lead attorney for the plaintiffs who spearheaded nearly a year of talks culminating in the agreement said the provisions would ultimately improve players’ safety and leave open the possibility of damage payments later. “I wouldn’t say these changes solve the safety problems, but they do reduce the risks,” Chicago attorney Joseph Siprut said. “It’s changed college sports forever.” Others strongly disagreed. Unlike a proposed settlement in a similar lawsuit against the NFL, this deal does not set aside any money to pay players who suffered brain trauma. Instead, athletes can sue individually for damages; the

CLEVELAND — Hisashi Iwakuma kept his road record spotless with one minor blemish. Iwakuma pitched seven strong innings to stay unbeaten in road games since last July, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 5-2 win over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night. Iwakuma (9-5) improved to 9-0 with a 2.17 ERA in his last 14 road starts, the second-longest such streak in club history. The Japanese right-hander is 5-0 outside Seattle this season. “I didn’t even know that,” Iwakuma, speaking through a translator, said of his road perfection. “I don’t what the secret is.” Dustin Ackley hit a two-run double in Seattle’s four-run fourth against Trevor Bauer (4-6). Mike Zunino homered in the fifth for the Mariners, one of six teams scrapping for the AL’s second wild-card spot. The Indians are 5-7 since the All-Star break and are trying to decide whether to be active before Thursday’s trade deadline. Once again, Iwakuma didn’t do anything to hurt himself. He allowed two runs and six hits, and only walked one — his first free pass in six starts. The right-hander has walked just nine all season. “I’m a little disappointed he walked a batter,” joked Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon. “He’s pretty good. He did a nice job for us.” Iwakuma went 35 2-3 innings and 139 consecutive batters without giving up a walk before he put Michael Brantley on with four consecutive balls in the first. McClendon laughed about Iwakuma’s stunning loss of control. “He doesn’t mess around,” McClendon cracked. “He gets it done and gets it out of the way.” Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his league-leading 29th save, and 18th in 19 tries. The Mariners, who came in with the fewest runs scored in the AL, took a 4-0 lead in the fourth when they hit three doubles off Bauer. Kyle Seager opened the inning by bunting against the shift, push-

Sports ESPN suspends Stephen A. Smith

NBA players union elects female executive director

NFL Notebook

BY BRIAN MAHONEY NEW YORK (AP) — ESPN has suspended outspoken sportscaster Stephen A. Smith for a week because of his comments about domestic abuse suggesting women should make sure that they don’t do anything to provoke an attack. Smith’s commentary occurred during a discussion on ESPN2’s “First Take” last Friday about the NFL’s twogame suspension of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice following charges he assaulted his now-wife. The remarks attracted widespread attention, including a stinging r e b u k e online from a fellow ESPN personality. S m i t h issued an Smith on-air apology Monday, saying it was the most egregious mistake of his career. A day later, ESPN took action. The network’s chief executive, John Skipper, told ESPN’s staff in a memo it was done after a “thoughtful discussion” about appropriate actions with men and women in his company. “I believe his apology was sincere and that he and we have learned from what we’ve collectively experienced,” Skipper said. Smith will not appear on “First Take” or ESPN radio until Aug. 6, the network said. During the Rice discussion, Smith alluded to women in abuse cases when he said, “Let’s make sure we don’t do anything to provoke wrong action ... we got to also make sure that you can do your part to do whatever you can do to make, to try to make sure it doesn’t happen again.” Shortly after Smith’s remarks, colleague Michelle Beadle responded on Twitter that “I was just forced to watch this morning’s First Take. A) I’ll never feel clean again B) I’m not aware that I can provoke my own beating.”

Flooding on UCLA campus LOS ANGELES (AP) — The quiet summer campus of UCLA found itself suddenly steeped in water and chaos after a major water pipe burst and spewed some 8 million gallons, stranding people in parking garages and flooding the school’s storied basketball court less than two years after a major renovation. The 30-inch, nearly century old pipe burst Tuesday afternoon under nearby Sunset Boulevard, sending water 30 feet into the air, opening a 15-foot hole in the street and inundating part of the campus that soon was swarmed with police and firefighters. “Unfortunately UCLA was the sink for this water source,” UCLA Chancellor Gene Block said. The break came amid a historic drought when residents are being threatened with $500 fines for overuse. “We lost a lot of water, around 35,000 gallons a minute, which is not ideal in the worst drought in the city’s history,” City Councilman Paul Koretz said. The flooding hit the part of campus that is home to its athletic facilities, with the greatest danger coming in a pair of parking structures that quickly began filling with water. Firefighters, some using inflatable boats, saved at least five people who were stranded in the structures where more than 100 cars were stuck, city fire officials said. No injuries were reported.

Seattle Seahawks' Anthony McCoy carries the ball at practice Sunday in Renton, Wash.

Seahawks may lose TE for the season RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Tight end Anthony McCoy left Seattle Seahawks practice on Tuesday after being helped to a cart and the team fears he could have a serious Achilles injury to his left leg. McCoy was hurt late in the practice. He was face-down on the field for several minutes before limping to a cart. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said the initial diagnosis is that McCoy’s injury is significant and that it’s on the opposite leg of a previous torn Achilles that cost him all of last season. McCoy injured the Achilles on his right leg during offseason workouts before the 2013 season. Left guard James Carpenter (calf) and linebacker Bobby Wagner (hamstring) were both pulled out of drills on Tuesday after feeling discomfort. Carroll did not believe either was serious.

Arizona LB charged with DUI ATLANTA (AP) — Authorities say Arizona Cardinals linebacker John Abraham was arrested on a drunken driving charge a month ago in the Atlanta area. Abraham has been absent from the team’s training camp since Friday. DeKalb County Jail records show that the 36-year-old was taken into custody June 29 and released the same day. Abraham was driving a black, 2013 Dodge Challenger that had stopped in the center southbound lane of a suburban Atlanta road the afternoon of June 29, Brookhaven, Georgia police said in an incident report. Abraham smelled of alcohol and failed voluntary sobriety tests — including reciting a portion of the alphabet. Police said Abraham remained asleep for several minutes after police arrived, despite an officer shouting and pounding on his doors and windows. After Abraham woke up, he told investigators he was coming from the Pink Pony — a local strip club — and the person who was supposed to pick him up hadn’t arrived, police said in the report.

Sanders helps with Heads Up Football INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Barry Sanders and Randy Gradishar have joined the growing list of former NFL players who want to promote USA Football’s safety program, Heads Up Football. The program is designed to teach football coaches in youth leagues and at the high school level how to reduce the amount of head injuries in the game. Over the years, former players such as Sanders and Gradishar have played a role in spreading the message. Of this year’s 78 trainers, 17 played in

He finally got in as a senior’s nominee this year, joining placekicker Jan Stenerud as the only kickers in the Hall. Guy is the perfect player to get the honor because he is credited with revolutionizing the position after being the only punter ever taken in the first round when Raiders owner Al Davis drafted him 23rd overall in 1973. His kicks went so high that one that hit the Superdome scoreboard 90 feet above the field in a Pro Bowl helped put “hang time” into the football vernacular. His ability to pin the opponent deep with either high kicks or wellpositioned ones was a key part of the success for the great Raiders teams of the 1970s and 80s. “It was something that was given to me. I don’t know how,” he said. “I’m really

Ambassadors are asked to help strengthen awareness of the program while reinforcing the program’s standards as they visit practices and games of participating teams and leagues across the country.

Bronco CB will return to practice ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The last of the Denver Broncos’ defensive starters who missed the Super Bowl has been cleared to return to practice. Cornerback Chris Harris Jr., who tore his left ACL in the playoffs and underwent surgery after the season, passed his physical and was taken off the PUP list Tuesday. Second-year pro Kayvon Webster has been getting the bulk of the first-team snaps during the absence of Harris, who will ease back into the mix, doing individual and 7-on-7 drills at first. Harris’ ligament wasn’t completely torn when he got hurt against San Diego and the Broncos are optimistic he’ll be able to return to the starting lineup by the season opener Sept. 7 against Indianapolis and resume his role as a leader on Denver’s defense.

Romo skips full-pad session OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are taking it easy with Tony Romo’s back. Romo sat out a competitive practice for the first time at training camp Tuesday, although coach Jason Garrett said it wasn’t because of any setbacks from surgery for a herniated disk in late December. Garrett said the Cowboys are making daily decisions on workload, and Romo is in on them as well. Romo said after the practice that camp was going as planned. “Feeling great,” Romo told The Associated Press. “Everything’s on schedule. Just got to be smart. It’s going exactly like I thought.” Executive vice president Stephen Jones said it was the 34-year-old quarterback’s idea when he skipped Friday’s full practice, which was lighter work without pads. Romo did all the competitive work in the first two practices with pads Saturday and Sunday. The team was off Monday, and Romo was part of the morning walkthrough session earlier Tuesday. “There’s an old adage in football: A day off can be really valuable, two days off can be life changing,” Garrett said.

blessed in that category. It’s something I really appreciate and I advanced it and I made it into something great.” Guy’s statistics look somewhat pedestrian compared to today’s punters. His career average of 42.4 yards per kick ranks 61st all-time and his net average of 32.2 yards (excluding his first three seasons when the statistic wasn’t kept by the NFL) isn’t even in the top 100. Yet, he still is considered by many as the best to ever play the position and is widely respected in the fraternity of punters, including about 20 who plan to attend the induction. “He should be first because he played his position in an outstanding manner in his era, and more important than that, he brought great notoriety to the position,” said Sean Landetta, who punted for 22 seasons in the NFL. “You’re talking about the Hall of Fame and the most famous punter is Ray Guy.” Guy also earned the respect of his teammates on the Raiders, who considered him much more than a specialist and a key component on three Super Bowl champions with his ability to change

field position every time he kicked the ball. “It should not have taken this long to recognize him,” former Raiders defensive back George Atkinson said. “He was quite a weapon for us. Not only could he get the ball up high with hang time, but he also had great placement.” Those are some of the reasons why Davis bucked conventional wisdom and took Guy out of Southern Mississippi in 1973. One of the sad byproducts of Guy’s long wait to get into the Hall of Fame is that one his biggest backers, Davis, won’t be there to see it. The former Raiders owner died in 2011. Guy also said he will be emotional thinking of his deceased parents and his college coach, P.W. Underwood. With Davis not there, Guy has chosen his Hall of Fame coach, John Madden, to introduce him. Guy also said it is comforting to know that Davis’ wife Carol and son Mark will be in the audience, along with many of his former teammates. “That will make it a little bit easier, but the leader won’t be there,” he said. “But he will be. All he’s gonna say is, ‘Just win, baby.”’

Michele Roberts has watched basketball for as long as she can remember. It was an easy choice growing up in a home with one TV and two older brothers. When she saw an interview last year with an NBA player and noticed how passionately he talked about trying to improve his embattled union, she wanted to be more than a fan.She wanted to be involved. Now the Washington trial lawyer is the first woman to lead a North American pro sports union. Roberts was elected Tuesday as executive director of the National Roberts B a s ke tba l l Players Association, and she’s eager to provide the leadership it needs after a few difficult years. “They were looking for, not a man,not a woman,they were looking for a personality,” Roberts said in a phone interview. “I think I’m that personality and I intend to be what I have been in my entire practice, singularly devoted to this union. And that’s what they were looking for. “Someone, whether it be a boy or a girl, who understood that this was their union, and they intended to run it, and they were looking for someone who appreciated that and was not going to deviate from that.” Roberts received 32 of 36 votes at a meeting of players in Las Vegas, defeating tech industry CEO Dean Garfield and Dallas Mavericks CEO Terdema Ussery in the final vote. It capped a long and arduous process to replace Billy Hunter, who was ousted in February 2013. Roberts was one of the finalists initially offered to the rank-and-file during All-Star weekend in February, but the process was re-opened under another

CONCUSSION Athletes get access to tests From Page B1 NCAA-funded tests that would gauge the extent of neurological injuries could establish grounds for doing just that. One plaintiffs’ attorney not involved in the negotiations called it a “terrible deal” that lets the NCAA off the hook far too easily. Jay Edelson called the agreement “window dressing,” saying the NCAA will be able to settle one-off suits for several thousand each. He estimated that a single, class-action damages settlement could have been worth $2 billion to players. “Instead,” he said, “it’s worthless.” The settlement is primarily directed at men and women who participated in basketball, football, ice hockey, soccer, wrestling, field hockey and lacrosse. There is no cutoff date for when athletes must have played a designated sport at one of the more than 1,000 NCAA member schools to qualify for the medical exams. That means all athletes currently playing and those who participated decades ago could undergo the tests and potentially follow up with damage claims. Tuesday’s filing serves as notice to the judge overseeing the case that the parties struck a deal. At a status hearing later in the day, U.S. District Judge John Lee said he wanted more time to consider whether to give the deal preliminary approval. If he does, affected athletes will have a chance to weigh in before Lee decides about granting a final OK. The NCAA, which admits no wrongdoing in the settlement and has denied understating the dangers of

search committee at the urging of some players and agents. More than 100 players reconvened in Las Vegas this week, and after some tense moments leading up to the vote, Roberts emerged as the winner. “Obviously, I would’ve preferred that it happen sooner rather than later, but I completely understood when there were questions raised about the process,” Roberts said. “Frankly, I would not have wanted them to ignore those questions and not affirmatively address those concerns. I wanted the job in February, but I wanted the job where there would be no questions about the fairness or the process, so I completely endorsed the executive committee to address these questions, and they did and now best I can tell they’re very pleased.” The players considered more than 300 candidates during their 17-month search before picking Roberts, who has been called the finest trial lawyer in Washington by “Washingtonian Magazine.” She said her new job will feature straight, honest talk, just like she delivers to a jury, and the strategizing that made her such a successful lawyer. The search to replace Hunter, who led the NBPA from 1996 until a review of the union was critical of his business practices, leaves players with less than two years to prepare for the next potential collective bargaining talks. Either the union or the league can opt out of the current agreement in 2017. The union has struggled for years with in-fighting and a lack of organization, and the players took a significant cut in their guarantee of basketballrelated income — 57 percent to about 50 percent, a drop of hundreds of millions annually in salary costs — in the contentious lockout in 2011. League revenues are on the rise,a new TV contract is set to be negotiated in 2016 and franchise valuations are skyrocketing.

concussions, hailed the deal. “This agreement’s proactive measures will ensure student-athletes have access to high quality medical care by physicians with experience in the diagnosis, treatment and management of concussions,” NCAA’s chief medical officer Brian Hainline said. Siprut added that stricter rules and oversight should help ensure the viability of football by allaying fears of parents now inclined to not let their kids play. “Absent these kinds of changes, the sport will die,” he said. To keep the NCAA from having to hold unwieldy talks with multiple plaintiffs, 10 lawsuits filed nationwide were consolidated into the one case in Chicago, where the first lawsuit was filed in 2011. The lead plaintiff is Adrian Arrington, a former safety at Eastern Illinois. He said he endured five concussions while playing, some so severe he has said he couldn’t recognize his parents afterward. Another named plaintiff is former Central Arkansas wide receiver Derek K. Owens. His symptoms became so severe he dropped out of school in 2011, telling his mother: “I feel like a 22year-old with Alzheimer’s.” Among other settlement terms, all athletes will take baseline neurological tests to start each year to help doctors determine the severity of any concussion during the season; concussion education will be mandated for coaches and athletes; and a new, independent Medical Science Committee will oversee the medical testing. Robert Cantu, a Bostonbased clinical professor of neurosurgery and a longtime critic of the NCAA, said the deal is a huge shift by the organization. “It’ll make collision sports much safer,” said Cantu, who was one of the plaintiffs’ experts.

As far as Sam goes, there has been no visible dissent in camp whatsoever regarding the NFL’s first openly gay player. Nowadays, players asked how Sam is fitting in might answer with a question themselves: Why is this still a big deal? They are liable to respond with a shrug w h e n a s k e d what it’s like having an openly gay teammate in the locker room, or whether it’s an issue having Sam showering next to them.

Scott introduced as Lakers coach EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Byron Scott was a key component of the Los Angeles Lakers’ Showtime teams, a smooth shooting guard with sizzling competitive fire. He believes his purple-and-gold championship pedigree makes him the ideal coach to return the struggling 16-time champions to NBA contention. Scott’s fellow Lakers greats are already backing that notion. Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Jamaal Wilkes surprised Scott before he was formally named the 25th coach in franchise history, standing behind him in a towering show of support. The Lakers finally hired a new coach almost three Mike months after D’Antoni’s resignation on April 30. General manager Mitch Kupchak opened the news conference by thanking Scott for his patience: Los Angeles first interviewed Scott two months ago, but kept him waiting through the draft and the unsuccessful free-agent signing period.

Legendary announcer to return LOS ANGELES (AP) — Vin Scully is staying in the booth for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 86-year-old Hall of Fame announcer will return for his record 66th season with the team in 2015. The announcement was made in Korean, Spanish and English by players Hyun-Jin Ryu, Yasiel Puig and Justin Turner on the Dodger Stadium video board in the second inning of Tuesday night’s game against Atlanta. The news was greeted with loud cheers and a prolonged standing ovation for Scully, who stood and waved to fans from his The Associated Press booth, where he hugged his wife, Sandi. Broadcaster Vin Scully, left, embraces his wife, Sandi, at Dodger A decision about Scully’s future has Stadium on Tuesday. The Dodgers announced that Scully will remain become an annual rite of passage in recent with the team for the 2015 season. years as he evaluates his health and his

family’s wishes in considering whether he wants to continue. “God willing, I will be back next year,” he said in a statement released by the team. “Naturally there will come a time when I have to say goodbye, but I’ve soulsearched and this is not the time.” Scully’s consecutive years of service make him the longest-tenured broadcaster with one team in sports history. He calls all nine innings of the team’s home games and road games in California and Arizona for the Dodgers’ new television home on SportsNet LA, while the first three innings of his games are simulcast on the radio. Scully began his professional broadcasting career in 1950 with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Machado homer lifts Orioles in 12th BALTIMORE (AP) — Manny Machado homered off Cory Rasmus leading off the 12th inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night. Machado hit a 1-2 breaking ball from Rasmus (2-1) into the seats in left field to end the backand-forth duel between AL contenders. Ryan Webb (3-1) worked out of a two-on, twoout jam in the top of the 12th for the Orioles, who improved to 12-3 in extra innings. Adam Jones and Nick Markakis homered for Baltimore, playing its first home game since the All-Star break. Josh Hamilton homered and had three RBIs for the Angels, who have dropped eight of their last 11 against the Orioles. A potential pitching duel MLB between Jered Weaver and Tillman turned into a Recap Chris slugfest, as both former AllStars left after the fifth inning with Baltimore leading 6-5. Yankees 12, Rangers 11: Brett Gardner had four hits to go with a tremendous sliding catch and New York overcame J.P. Arencibia’s seven RBIs for Texas. Gardner had a leadoff homer and two doubles, and he reached base twice in a seven-run sixth that put the Yankees ahead to stay. Arencibia homered twice, including a grand slam. Rays 5, Brewers 1: Alex Cobb struck out 12 in eight innings and Ben Zobrist drove in two runs to help Tampa Bay gets its 11th win in 12 games. Zobrist hit his ninth home run in the sixth inning for the only run off Milwaukee starter Matt Garza. Zobrist’s double in the eighth off reliever Will Smith (1-3) put the Rays ahead for the first time. Pinch-hitter Logan Forsythe followed with another RBI double and the Rays went on to a fourrun inning. Cobb (7-6) gave up three hits and two walks in

winning his third straight start. The right-hander is 5-0 in his last six starts. Garza gave up five hits and two walks in seven innings, striking out two. The Brewers have lost four of five. Phillies 6, Mets 0: Cole Hamels pitched eight shutout innings and finally got some run support when Chase Utley hit a grand slam to lead Philadelphia. Hamels (6-5) has won three straight starts for the first time in almost two years. He retired the final 13 batters to lower his ERA to 2.55. In his last three outings, he has 27 strikeouts and one walk. For a while, it looked as though this one might end like his last two, 2-1 wins over the Braves and Giants. But with the Phillies up 2-0 and two outs in the seventh, Mets starter Dillon Gee (4-4) suddenly lost his control. Gee left with the bases loaded and Josh Edgin came on for a lefty-lefty matchup. Utley drilled a 2-2 pitch into the upper deck in right field for his fifth career grand slam and first since 2010. Reds 3, Diamondbacks 0: Mike Leake pitched into the eighth inning and singled home a run for Cincinnati. The Reds won for only the second time in 11 games since the All-Star break. The offense has been the biggest problem, scoring only 20 runs — by far the fewest in the majors over that span. Leake (8-9) had a single off the glove of diving third baseman Martin Prado that drove in a run in the second off Trevor Cahill (1-8), who has yet to win as a starter this season. Todd Frazier and Brayan Pena had RBI singles off Cahill, who fell to 0-6 in seven starts this season. Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for 23rd save. He extended his streak of at least one strikeout in 45 consecutive appearances, a major league record for a reliever. Athletics 7, Astros 4: Slumping Brandon Moss hit a go-ahead single during a six-run rally in the ninth inning to lift Oakland past Houston.

Josh Reddick homered for the AL West-leading A’s and Yoenis Cespedes had three hits, including two doubles. Oakland trailed 4-1 in the ninth before pinchhitter Alberto Callaspo had a two-run single off closer Chad Qualls (1-2). After Houston couldn’t turn a potential gameending double play on John Jaso’s grounder, Jed Lowrie walked and Cespedes tied it with a single. Moss ended an 0-for-14 rut with an RBI single off Tony Sipp and then Josh Donaldson hit a tworun double off Jose Veras. Twins 2, Royals 1: Kyle Gibson bounced back for a rocky start to shut down Kansas City, and Minnesota held on through a shaky ninth to beat James Shields and the Royals. Gibson (9-8) allowed only a single by Alcides Escobar in the third inning and another by Nori Aoki in the sixth over seven dazzling innings. Marlins 3, Nationals 0: Henderson Alvarez outpitched Stephen Stasburg and surging Miami won its sixth straight. Giancarlo Stanton drove in two runs as the Marlins won for the ninth time in 10 games and evened their record at 53-53. Strasburg (7-9) allowed one run and four hits in seven innings. White Sox 11, Tigers 4: Jose Abreu and Adam Dunn hit consecutive home runs during a sevenrun seventh inning that sent Chicago past Detroit. The White Sox sent 12 hitters to the plate in the seventh and broke the game open against Anibal Sanchez (7-5) and Joakim Soria. Alexei Ramirez added a three-run double in the inning. Blue Jays 4, Red Sox 2: Marcus Stroman (7-2) had his second solid start against Boston in five days and Colby Rasmus hit a solo homer to lead Toronto. Anthony Gose had a tiebreaking two-run double for the Blue Jays, who won for the ninth time in 11 games and improved to 9-3 against the Red Sox this season.

39-10 when they score at least 4 From Page B1 ing a ball down the thirdbase line. Bauer hit Zunino, and one out later, Corey Hart hit an RBI double. With two outs, Ackley ripped his double off the right-field wall to make it 3-0. Chris Taylor added another RBI double just over the glove of leaping left fielder Chris Dickerson. Zunino’s 16th homer gave the Mariners a 5-0 lead in the fifth and chased Bauer, who had gone at least six innings in each of his previous four starts. Iwakuma dominated the Indians through four, but Cleveland got two runs in the fifth on an RBI single by Yan Gomes and Jason Kipnis’ run-scoring groundout.

Running amok The Mariners, who hadn’t scored five runs in their past six games, improved to 39-10 when scoring four or more in a game. “That’s a good position for us,” Ackley said. “When we get ahead, it gives us a better feeling and puts the pressure on them.”

Busted Seattle snapped a sixgame losing streak in Cleveland. The Mariners’ last win at Progressive Field was Sept. 19, 2011.

Nice grab Seattle center fielder James Jones ran down a drive by Nick Swisher and made a leaping catch before crashing into the padded wall in the seventh.

On deck Two of the AL’s top pitchers match up in the second game of the series when Seattle’s Felix Hernandez takes on Cleveland’s Corey Kluber. Hernandez (11-2) has allowed two runs or less and pitched at least seven innings in 13 consecutive starts, an AL record. King Felix, though, is just 7-5 in his career against the Indians, with all five losses coming in Cleveland.
