What is plan B if Jordan Cove CEP fails? BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World
Editor’s note: Wednesday, we looked at how the North Bay Urban Renewal District would impact Jordan Cove’s property tax dollars, and what would happen if the county disbanded the URD. COOS BAY — If Jordan Cove decides to back out of the Community Enhancement Plan
several years down the line, city, county and port officials will need to come up with Plan B. The proposed Jordan Cove Energy Project would be built in the Bay Area Enterprise Zone (waterfront commercial and industrial areas in North Bend, Coos Bay, Charleston and along the rail to Hauser). This rural enterprise zone is an economic development tool used to attract business to economically depressed areas, giving
companies property tax breaks for various periods of time. But Jordan Cove officials say the possibility of having more money in their pockets that would have otherwise gone toward property taxes was a non-factor in their choice to locate on the North Spit. It was the deep-water port that caught their eye. Before the Community Enhancement Plan can go into effect, the enterprise zone spon-
sors (Oregon International Port of Coos Bay, Coos County and the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend) each have to green light Jordan Cove’s long-term rural enterprise zone property tax exemption application. They would do so on one condition: In exchange for granting Jordan Cove a property tax break for 19 years, the company would instead have to pay an annual community service fee. The fee has been touted as a tool
to boost economic development, school infrastructure improvements and the North Spit taxing districts. The enterprise zone was created in 1986 by the four sponsor entities. Margaret Barber, Coos Curry Douglas Business Development Corporation’s community development director for Coos and Curry counties, said the zone will SEE PLAN | A8

Local club joins national organization’s effort to engage kids during downtime ■
BY TIM NOVOTNY The World
COOS BAY — It is not a stretch to say that all children need help and resources in order to achieve greatness. That is why a nationwide organization, with a local presence, is redoubling its effort to make sure everyone knows that they are there to lend a hand. On Thursday, the Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon announced the launch of the Great Futures Campaign to mobilize the community in support of kids and to empower today’s youth to achieve great futures. It’s part of the national effort to stress the “critical” role that out-of-school time can play in a

child’s development. Cynthia Ball, board president of the Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon, says Great Futures is trying to ensure that every child and teen has a safe place to go after school to build knowledge, skills and behaviors that place them on the path to success. So, they want to make sure they are part of the discussion as kids head back to school in a few weeks. “We’re taking a leadership role with the Great Futures Campaign to elevate the impact of out-ofschool time, a critical, yet often overlooked, part of their day,” Ball says. “When school is out, no child should go unsafe or unguided. Through the campaign, we are advocating on behalf of kids and convening public, private and nonprofit partners around our goal of ensuring all kids have access to a safe, engaging and productive SEE CLUB | A8

About leadership and opportunity Our view Real leadership means finding innovative, creative ways to make things happen.
What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.
Two weeks ago we discussed concerns held by the mayor and city council of the city of Coos Bay about their marketing image. At the time, we advised them that they might want to pay attention to the city’s curb appeal as they consider how to make the city more alluring to visitors. Perhaps the most glaring example of what we discussed lies just inside the city’s north boundary, right on U.S. Highway 101 – the Central Dock Company land. Longtime residents may be the only ones who recall the name, but anyone who’s ever ventured through here knows the spot. What used
to be a thriving industrial dock that catered cargo ships from across the globe now looks like a Hollywood set for a World War II bombing site. And it has for decades since the bottom fell out of the timber industry here. The owners, the Brunell family, say they’ve been trying for years to sell the land and see it developed. What’s so frustrating is that just a few years ago, according to Helen Brunell, there were plans for a complex of shops, restaurants and condominiums, all to be erected by a Grants Pass developer. Helen was happy to show us the plans and artists’ renderings of the develop-
ment when we visited with her earlier this week. She and her sister were also more than happy to tell a tale of what sounded like an all too familiar series of bureaucratic roadblocks. There was indecision, frustration and what she described as lukewarm support from the very governmental entities that claim they support development. The developer threw up his hands and left. To be sure, multi-million dollar deals are never a leisurely endeavor. But it’s also true that projects like this can get done with the right leadership. They are done all the time in com-
munities across the country. They get done with leadership that brings vision, determination, resourcefulness and resolve. We’re not convinced that those leadership traits were ever brought into play with this project, especially at the governmental level. So, while the mayor and city council continue to fuss and fret over the city’s image, they may want to take a lesson from the failed Central Dock deal and do better than their predecessors when another opportunity comes along. We’ll certainly be asking about their leadership skills as the fall elections get closer.
The American way of death I will readily admit that I have been all over the map when it comes to the death penalty. As a young lawyer and law professor, I was opposed to it.Actually,it was easy to be against it.The evidencethat it was being administered arbitrarily and unfairly was so overwhelming that the Supreme Court had effectively placed a moratorium on it. When it came back, in the late ‘70s, I was there, literally. The first man to be executed after the moratorium was Gary Gilmore, who wanted to die. The second was a murderer named John Spenkelink, who didn’t. His last appeal, the night before his death, was to the United States Supreme Court.He needed one justice to sign a stay before midnight to keep him alive. He needed four justices the next morning to agree that the case was worthy of the court’s review and to keep the stay in force. All the clerks were warned. It automatically went to the circuit justice, who was expected to deny it. Then they could go to one of the two justices, William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall, who were absolute opponents, but whose votes wouldn’t get him past morning. Or they could go SUSAN to one of the votes he ESTRICH would need in the morning, probably Potter Columnist Stewart. We all figured he’d go to Brennan or Marshall, and we could go home. He came to us — us being the court’s junior member. When we got there, we read it again with him, issue by issue: Was there any basis for concluding that a mistake was made? We didn’t come up with much, and then he called the other justice “in the middle” and went over it with him, and then we drove back with the unsigned papers and the windows down in case we threw up. What if we had missed something? What if his lawyers had? We hadn’t read a transcript; we just read the papers. Was he the white guy picked to go first and head off a parade of minorities? Why him? We got back to the court at 11:45 p.m. and found Marshall, then in his later years, waiting with his pen out. The execution took place the next day. By the time he retired, Justice John Paul Stevens was among the most outspoken critics of the way the death penalty is administered. Even so, I came to view that, as a matter of principle, a society has every right to punish the worst of the worst. It was the murder of a pregnant woman at an ATM that did it for me — stabbed her in the stomach for some cash. Get the right guy, and you won’t find me fighting to save him, I heard myself say. And it was true. Most of those on death row are brutal murderers. But no system is perfect, and ours doesn’t aspire to be. So what percentage of error is tolerable when death is the penalty? And just how much are we willing to pay to achieve a tolerable error rate? The work of The Innocence Project, and other organizations, seems to show pretty clearly that it isn’t enough. Now there is the newest problem. Killing people isn’t so easy. Or rather, as anyone who has lost a loved one to cancer could probably tell you, dying can be very hard. The drug companies don’t want to be a part of the debate by way of making these drugs, states are afraid to disclose what they use, and the last execution took so long that the lawyers filed for a stay. Did the dying man suffer? They’re not sure. It’s a public embarrassment, or so death penalty opponents are treating it. Is that an argument that we shouldn’t be in the business of killing people? Maybe. I just can’t help but think about how most people suffer in death, and none more than those who are viciously murdered.

State Obsession over six-pack abs puts swimmer in unsafe water DEAR ABBY: I’m a 21year-old man who has been a successful swimmer in high school and now in college. Over the past few months, I have become obsessed with develDEAR o p i n g six-pack abs. I have never had much success with women, and I thought that looking like a JEANNE movie star PHILLIPS m i g h t finally get me noticed and make me feel good about myself. As a result, I have become obsessive about my diet. I have dropped 10 pounds, mostly muscle, and my performance in the pool has suffered. If I don’t see perfect definition between every ab and don’t exercise 1 for at least 2 ⁄2 hours a day, I feel fat and guilty whenever I eat. I have awakened in the middle of the night worrying about what I’ll eat the next day. I’m concerned for the future when my metabolism will inevitably slow down. I have begun to think that death is a better scenario than being fat, or feeling that way. I want to be able to enjoy eating again and get my life back. I don’t want to tell my parents or friends for fear of seeming weakminded. Where can I go for help? — FEELING LOST IN NEW MEXICO DEAR FEELING LOST: Physical perfection is no guarantee that you’ll find love. Liking yourself and accepting yourself for who you are is what attracts others. Although “looking like a movie star” can be an asset — depending upon who the movie star is — unless you are secure about who you are and what you have to offer, you can’t maintain a healthy relationship. (If you don’t believe me, look at the tabloids and start counting how many movie star romances resemble a game of musical chairs.) If you truly think that death might be preferable to being fat, then you are in trouble. You may have a serious eating disorder, one that could shorten your life. Most people who have an eating disorder need professional help to overcome it, so the place to go is to your student health center. Ask to speak with a mental health counselor about what you’re doing and how you’re feeling. It is important that you understand what has caused this so you can be successfully treated. DEAR ABBY: My parents’ 25th wedding anniversary is coming up. I thought it would be nice to have a dinner with the 12 to 14 people who were in their wedding party. If I had it at a nice restaurant, would it be rude to ask them to pay their own way for dinner? I am only 21 and just graduated from college, so I can’t manage it on my own. Any advice? — SON OF “SILVER” PARENTS IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR SON: I think the sentiment is sweet, but if you are going to have this kind of an anniversary party for your parents, you should wait until you can afford to host it. For this one, invite your parents out for dinner, and give them the kind of party you’re planning on their 30th.

Once-forgotten plaques placed by Kruger in a city park to honor five Nazi-era German soldiers have come back to haunt the city. The officer, Capt. Mark Kruger, threatened to sue the city last year over texts sent by a top police official to an officer characterizing him as a Nazi sympathizer. Instead of going to court, the city settled, agreeing to give Kruger 80 hours of vacation and $5,000.
Searchers find no sign of missing Dundee woman MCMINNVILLE (AP) — It’s been a week since 38year-old Jennifer Huston of Dundee disappeared, and searchers are running out of leads. Newberg-Dundee Police say searchers in the air and on the Willamette River looked without success Wednesday for an oil sheen that may have indicated a car in the water. Searchers also checked roads around Gaston and Bald Peak. They plan an air search Thursday and Friday of central and West Yamhill County. Police in all western states have been asked to be on the lookout for Huston. She was last seen last Thursday withdrawing a small amount of money from an ATM, fueling her SUV and buying a Gatorade, trail mix and a non-lethal amount of sleeping pills. Her husband reported her missing Friday.
Suit settled by officer who honored Nazis PORTLAND (AP) — Once-forgotten plaques placed by a Portland police officer in a city park in 1999 to honor five Nazi-era German soldiers have come back to haunt the city.

80 hours of vacation and $5,000. For some, what came next was too much: His record was wiped clean of the discipline he faced for putting up the plaques, and the chief apologized to him. Protesters called it an “injustice, and a celebration of white supremacy.” The mayor said he agreed with the outrage, but that the settlement helped avoid costly litigation.

Portland OKs Airbnb-type rentals
Authorities search for missing man
PORTLAND (AP) — The Portland City Council has voted to legalize short-term rentals in single-family homes, giving added legitimacy to rental websites such as Airbnb. Homeowners will be allowed to rent one or two bedrooms once a safety inspection is done and neighbors are notified. The city is requiring rental websites to collect lodging taxes. Airbnb says it started doing that July 1 in anticipation of Wednesday’s vote.
BEND (AP) — Authorities are searching for an 18-yearold man who was reported missing from a wilderness program in a remote area of Lake County in central Oregon. State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings says Kevin Mulert, from Deerfield, Ill., was last seen Wednesday morning at about 4:30 a.m. He was reported missing from the therapeutic nature camp at about 8 a.m. Hastings declined to name the wilderness program at the request of program officials. He says Mulert was not wearing shoes, wasn’t dressed for the weather and was unfamiliar with the remote area.

Matthew David Goodnature, 21, of Phoenix, Ore., was dead when another firefighter found him Tuesday evening near Four Mile Lake in FremontWinema National Forest, Klamath County Sheriff Frank Skrah said. Goodnature had walked away from fire camp while on the break and apparently lost his balance climbing over a rock before falling backward over a downed log and breaking his back, Skrah said. The death was the first of a wildland firefighter in Oregon this season and the seventh nationwide, National Interagency Fire Center spokesman Mike Ferris said. One of the others was killed in a plane crash, and five died in medical emergencies such as heart attacks. The center website lists three firefighters who died in Oregon last year, one from a falling tree, another in a truck wreck, and another from a medical emergency.

SALEM (AP) — Cuts in retiree benefits and investment returns that beat expectations have eased the pressure on rates that governments pay to finance public pensions in Oregon.

That systemwide average includes extra payments that some employers have made into so-called side accounts. Excluding side accounts, the average base contribution rate is expected to rise 1 percentage point. The rates vary substantially among public employers such as city and county governments and school boards. Precise rates are calculated in September.

about 100 acres and is considered to be human-caused, fire spokesman Kevin Abel said. A total of 12 large fires were burning in Oregon across 755 square miles of timber and range mostly east of the Cascades. The coordination center in Portland said eight were at least 50 percent contained. But hot dry weather and more lighting were forecast through the end of the week, particularly east of the Cascade Range, which could spark more fires in coming days. The prospect prompted Oregon fire officials to revise their estimate of containment on the Reeves Creek fire, 15 miles southwest of Grants Pass, from 90 percent to 50 percent. Crews have fire line and hoses stretched around the 232-acre perimeter but were worried that weather could cause a flare up, spokesman Brian Ballou said. That fire threatened seven homes, but none have been lost. Firefighters have fully contained the Shaniko Butte fire after it burned 66 square miles of grass and brush 15 miles north of Warm Springs. The Center fire was also contained after burning four square miles of timber and grass about 25 miles southeast of Prineville.

Nation and World Suing Obama: GOP-led House gives the go-ahead WASHINGTON (AP) — A sharply divided House approved a Republican plan Wednesday to launch a campaign-season lawsuit against President Barack Obama, accusing him of exceeding the bounds of his constitutional authority. Obama and other Democrats derided the effort as a stunt aimed at tossing political red meat to conservative voters. Just a day before lawmakers were to begin a five-week summer recess, debate over the proposed lawsuit underscored the harshly partisan tone that has dominated the current Congress almost from its start in January 2013. The vote to sue Obama was 225 to 201. Five conservative Republicans voted with Democrats in opposing the lawsuit. No Democrats voted for it. Republicans said the legal action, focusing on Obama’s implementation of his prized health care overhaul, was designed to prevent a further presidential power grab and his deciding unilaterally how to enforce laws. “Are you willing to let any president choose what laws to execute and what laws to change?” asked House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio. The Republicans also scoffed at Democratic claims that the lawsuit would be a waste of taxpayers’ money. “What price do you place
GOP is chomping at the bit to impeach the president.” And White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer emailed supporters, saying, ‘This is the least productive Congress in decades. And instead of doing their job, they are suing the president for doing his.” The Republican Party also went to work.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional investigators say this is why they want all of Lois Lerner’s emails. Newly released emails show the former IRS official referring to some right-wing Republicans as “crazies” and more, a revelation that is fueling GOP claims of a political conspiracy at the tax agency to target conservative groups. Lerner headed the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status. In a series of emails with an associate in November 2012, Lerner made two disparaging remarks about some members of the GOP, including one remark that was vulgar. Rep. Dave Camp, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, released the emails Wednesday as part of his committee’s investigation. The Michigan Republican says the emails show Lerner’s “disgust with conservatives.” In one email, Lerner called some conservatives crazies. In the other,she called them “ass-

Lerner’s lawyer, William W. Taylor III, did not respond to a request for comment. His office said he was traveling.
Ebola outbreak tops 700 deaths DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — The deadliest recorded Ebola outbreak surpassed 700 deaths across West Africa on Thursday as the World Health Organization announced dozens of new deaths reported in the last several days. In Sierra Leone, President Ernest Bai Koroma vowed to quarantine sick patients at home and have authorities conduct house-to-house searches for others who may have been exposed as the country struggles with families resisting treatment at isolation centers. Some have kept loved ones at home given the high death rates at clinics where Ebola patients are quarantined. His announcement late Wednesday came as neighboring Liberia also ramped up its efforts to slow the virulent disease’s spread, shutting down schools and ordering most public servants to stay home from work. The U.S. Peace Corps also was evacuating hundreds of its volunteers in the affected countries. Two Peace Corps workers are under isolation outside the U.S. after having contact with a person who later died of the Ebola virus, a State Department official said. Ebola now has been blamed for 729 deaths in four West African countries this year, and has shown no signs of slowing down particularly in Liberia and Sierra Leone. On Thursday, the WHO announced 57 new deaths — 27 in Liberia, 20 in Guinea, nine in Sierra Leone and one in Nigeria. Among the dead was the chief doctor treating Ebola in Sierra Leone, who was to be buried Thursday. The government said Dr. Sheik Humarr Khan’s death was “an irreparable loss of this son of the soil.” The 39year-old was a leading doctor on hemorrhagic fevers in a nation with very few medical resources. Ebola cases first emerged in the nation of Guinea back in March, and later spread across the borders to Liberia and Sierra Leone. The outbreak is now the largest recorded in world history, and has infected three African capitals with international airports. Officials are trying to step up screening of passengers, though an American man was able to fly from Liberia to Nigeria, where authorities say he died days later from Ebola.

APPOINTEE Pourtal-Stevens replaces Zogg Continued from Page A1 After graduating with degrees in public law and international humanitarian assistance, she hopped on at Pharmacists board Without Borders in the Clermont-Ferrand area in France. A year later, she moved back to Morocco to work for Planète Enfants in Marrakesh and Safi. In 2006, she became the emergency human resources and finances coordinator for Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) in South Sudan, Nigeria and Burundi. By 2009, she was in Ngara, Tanzania, working for Médecins du Monde (Doctors of the World). Three years ago, she moved to Portland to live with her husband, a Coos County native she met while working in South Sudan. In Portland, she was a program and grants manager for Hands to Hearts International. In all of these nongovernmental organizations, she has held program management and administrative positions. She said working with these extremely vulnerable populations opened her mind to other cultures and the health and social issues that impact their day-to-day lives.

Improvement Plan outlined several key areas to focus on: access to health care, chronic illness management, chronic illness prevention, dental health, fall prevention, maternal and child health, mental health, and socioeconomic disparities. “The areas I would like to concentrate on are the prevention aspect and access to health care,” PourtalStevens said. “I want to make sure we’re preventing people from getting sick in the first place.” Nikki Zogg resigned from Coos County Public Health in March due to “a difference in leadership philosophy within the organization.” She had taken the lead in April 2013 from Frances Smith, who retired after working for public health for 26 years. Pourtal-Stevens moved here just three weeks ago (though she and her husband have lived here off and on since 2008), started as Coos County Public Health’s administrator July 7 and at the same time is enjoying being the mother of a 4month-old. “Coos County is one of the most beautiful places I’ve got a chance to not only work, but live in,” she said. “People in Coos County are extremely friendly and outgoing. It reminds me of other places I’ve lived.” Reporter Chelsea Davis can be reached at 541-2691222, ext. 239, or by email at chelsea.davis@theworldlink.com. Follow her on Twitter: @ChelseaLeeDavis.

“The Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon has been serving the community with afterschool and summer programs for 32 years,” Ball says. She adds that, during that time, they have seen the positive impact that occurs when young people have access to a safe place with caring adult mentors and enriching programs during out-of-school time. “We want today’s generation to be successful in school and in adulthood, to be healthy and active, and to develop strong character skills they need to become future leaders for our country.” For more information about the Great Futures Campaign, visit www.greatfutures.org.

haps to millions more people, in the wake of the House’s failure to act this year on a comprehensive immigration reform bill passed by the Senate. Republicans warn that would provoke a constitutional crisis, and a few conservatives have said it would be grounds for impeachment. The White House issued a statement assailing House Republicans for their inaction on comprehensive legislation and then willingness to target a program that “has benefited more than 500,000 young people who are Americans in every way except on paper.”
PLAN JCEP claims no input on CEP Continued from Page A1 sunset in 2018. Unless it’s renewed, the LNG facility will be assessed and taxed normally at that point. Should Jordan Cove decide to pull out of the CEP earlier, though, the bulk of its property tax dollars would go to the North Urban Renewal Bay District. If that district is disbanded, about half would go to local education entities and be taken away through the state funding equalization formula; the rest would go to Coos County and the North Spit taxing entities. If the county were to disband the URD and if the zone sponsors terminated the enterprise zone, those property tax dollars would be spread out more evenly among education, the county and the taxing entities. The Oregon Business Development Department (Business Oregon) has the final say in terminating an enterprise zone, and would need a resolution requesting termination from the zone sponsors. In this case, Coos County stands to benefit the most from ending both the urban renewal district and enterprise zone: It would get 16 percent of the company’s property tax dollars, projected to be nearly $4 million a year. Jordan Cove public affairs director Michael Hinrichs reiterated that the company has had no influence on the CEP discussions. “It might have been something that came up a long time ago, but we’re certainly not driving anything on the CEP,” he said. “It’s truly a communitydriven effort. It’s not on our end that we’re requesting anything.” Port CEO David Koch is out of town and could not be reached.

Officials seek new members Have you ever sat at a football game and wondered what it’s like to be between the sidelines? Have you ever watched a volleyball match and questioned why the officials made a call that made no sense to you? Did you catch World Cup fever and feel like you can’t get your soccer fill now because you’re not emotionally attached to one of the high school teams? If any of those scenarios describe you, it’s time to consider becoming an official. The local associations for all three fall sports will have their first meetings in the next few weeks. And all would happily welcome newcomers. You don’t need to know everything. They’ll teach you along the way. And you’re SPORTS not committing to anything by showing up for the first meeting — or the first several meetings. There’s a few things you should know, though. Refs are paid, JOHN though that’s G UNTHER not why they do it. Many are former athletes and most feel they are contributing a service to the community or giving back to a sport they grew up with. In football, for example, they are genuinely concerned about the safety, which is why they are constantly vigilant about equimpment players are wearing. Officials take pride in what they do, but they also know they’re not perfect. They’d probably be the first to admit their own mistakes — at least that’s what my coworker Russell Hartley said. He knows first-hand, because he’s one of several guys in the area who are officials for a sport in the fall, winter and spring. And they’re not interested in impacting the outcome of a game. They’re not allowed to officiate varsity contests for the schools their children attend. Officials do hear what you yell at them from the stands, and often it’s not very complimentary. Russell said the veterans learn to have a thick skin — they have to to avoid letting the fans get to them. If you’re nervous about joining the local officials because you don’t want to be reffing at an important game, don’t worry. New refs aren’t put in charge of varsity contests, and there’s lots of levels to learn at, especially in football and basketball. In addition to the high school games, the Southwestern Oregon Football Association also provides officials for the South Coast Youth Football League and for the local middle school contests. Reffing at the younger levels can be rewarding because the officials can help players learn the rules during the process of the games. The training is thorough. Weekly meetings are held to go over the rules (and any rule changes for the new year) and also to discuss specific situations that come up. Officials do have to buy their uniforms, though the football association provides financial incentives to help newcomers offset the cost of equipment and membership in the association. If you are interested, the first step is attending the first meeting, which can be intimidating. But I know enough of the people involved with each of the fall groups — including all three commissioners — to know they’re great folks. The first football meeting is at 6:30 p.m. Monday at Pirate Hall on the Marshfield High School campus. Call either Emery Phillips (541-297-0677), Russell Hartley (541-260-0023) or Mark Stephens (541-404-4480) for more information. The volleyball group will first meet at 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 11, at Coquille High School. If you’re interested, call David Oliver at 541-290-2089. And the soccer officials have tentatively scheduled their first meeting for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19, at the Coos Bay Public Library. For more details, give Sharon Usselman a call (541-2973218) or shoot her an email (susselman@frontier.com). You could find yourself watching the contests from a whole new perspective, and providing a valuable service at the same time.

Deven Ferner runs the final leg over the McCullough Bridge during the Circle The Bay run Aug. 4, 2012. This year’s 30-kilometer race is Saturday.
Runners ready to Circle the Bay BY JOHN GUNTHER The World
NORTH BEND — The South Coast Running Club has long called the Circle the Bay its premier event. The 30-kilometer race celebrates 41 years Saturday, when runners and walkers will make their way around Coos Bay. The walkers begin at 6:30 a.m., with the runners starting their trek at 8 a.m. at Ferry Road Park in North Bend. For those who haven’t yet signed up, registration closes at 7:30 a.m. Saturday. This year’s race should feature about 150 participants, either completing the 18.6-mile course as individuals or members of three-person relay teams. What is impressive to race director Anthony Collins, though, is that the number of volunteers will rival the number of participants. “What makes this unique, of course, is the community involvement,” said Collins. “Every road is open. Every intersection is open.” And at all of those places, people will be in place to make sure the runners get through safely. The course starts and ends in Ferry Road Park. Runners and walkers will travel south along U.S. Highway 101 through Coos Bay, then head through Eastside and out the Coos River Highway. After crossing the Chandler Bridge, they will follow East Bay Drive through Cooston
and Glascow before joining U.S. Highway 101 again just north of the McCullough Bridge. The participants finish the course by crossing the bridge and heading back into the park. Helping out during the race will be the police and fire departments from both North Bend and Coos Bay, the North Bay Fire Department, Bay Cities Ambulance, the Coos County Radio Club and the Coos County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue team. “There will be literally dozens of volunteers marshaling the course,” Collins said. The North Bend High School cross country team will be manning six water stations on the course — both runners and parents, with several of the athletes taking part in the race as part of relay teams. Additional volunteers provide a post-run feast in the park for the participants.

BY BOB BAUM The Associated Press PHOENIX — Aeneas Williams spent most of his NFL career on bad teams. But that didn’t prevent him from pursuing excellence, becoming one of the best cornerbacks in the league and earning a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In his 10 seasons with Arizona, the Cardinals had one winning season. But despite that, he either led or shared the NFL lead in interceptions three times and made six Pro Bowls. Williams never missed a game and started all but one. He had a streak of 157 consecutive starts. And he never let the poor play around him affect his performance. “Just refuse to become a loser even though we weren’t winning a whole lot of games,” Williams said.

Busy time for sports camps THE WORLD With the start of practice for fall sports just a couple of weeks away, several area schools have team camps in the next few weeks. At Marshfield High School, the Sports Performance Volleyball Club of Chicago will have its annual camp next week. The high school camp, for incoming freshmen through seniors at Marshfield, runs from 8 a.m. to noon and 1:30-3:30 p.m. Aug. 4-8, at the main gym. Girls interested in trying out for the volleyball team are encouraged to attend. The cost is $190. Sports Performance also puts on a junior high camp open to any South Coast girl in grades 6 through 8. That camp is Aug. 4-7 from 3:30-6 p.m. in
weekend. Sera Matthewes of Gold Hill is taking the year off to become a mom, Collins said. One runner who will be back, though, is 2012 champion Brent Hutton of Bandon. Collins also hopes to draw in a few new runners since the race was featured in The Oregon Distance Runner magazine, a publication of the Oregon Road Runners Club. So far, runners have signed up from Washington, Idaho, Utah and California. Some runners might not race this year since the Eugene Marathon was just last weekend, but Circle the Bay traditionally has drawn some people training for the Portland Marathon held each fall. In addition to the volunteer groups, Collins extended thanks to his wife and “co-race director” Kay, as well as their children and longtime race sponsors Bigfoot Beverage, Farr’s True Value Hardware, Ken Ware Automotive and Umpqua Bank “among many other sponsors.” For runners who have not registered, the fee to sign up Saturday is $35 for individuals and $75 for three-person relay teams. Individuals receive a long-sleeve shirt and finisher’s medal. Relay team members get a short-sleeve shirt. All participants are welcome to the post-race feast.

North Coos faces an uphill battle in the American Legion state tournament after losing its opener to the Salem Senators 10-3 at Medford on Wednesday. The Waterfront faces Jake’s Crawfish of Portland at 9:30 a.m. today in the double-elimination tournament. Jake’s fell to North Medford in another first-round game Wednesday. North Coos got off to a great start, with three hits in the first inning, but managed just a single run. Marquece Williams had a lead-off single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Robert Martino. After an infield single by Marshall Rice, Williams scored on a double by Jon Bennison. But Trey Cornish struck out and Bennison was picked off second to end the inning. North Coos had two hits in the second inning — singles by Austin Soria and Tyler Laskey — but couldn’t score. The Waterfront got a run in the fourth when Soria singled, Griffin Kaufmann hit a fielder’s choice and Williams had a two-out RBI single. The other run came an inning later, when Rice had a lead-off double and Bennison hit an RBI single. For the game, Soria had three hits and Williams, Rice and Bennison had two each. But North Coos was hurt by an inability to turn enough of its hits into runs, something the Senators did do, scoring three runs in the second, one in the third, four in the fourth and two in the sixth. Trevor Burnell had a two-run single in the second inning and later scored two runs. Harrison Witwer-Dukes and Garrett Coffey also had two runs each. Sam Arnold had two hits, a run and an RBI. In its biggest inning, Salem had five runners reach base by either walks or being hit by a pitch — North Coos pitchers gave up nine free passes in the game and Salem had just eight hits. To win the tournament, North Coos now would need to win five straight games, starting with this morning’s contest.

Maxwell gets chance to start RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks cornerback Byron Maxwell has waited patiently for his opportunity to excel in a secondary loaded with talent. After three years being buried in the depth chart, Maxwell is determined to prove he belongs. Maxwell is the favorite to replace Brandon Browner and Walter Thurmond as the starting right cornerback in Seattle’s defense. Maxwell took over as a starter late last season after Browner and Thurmond were suspended for violations of the league’s substance-abuse policy. In five regular-season starts opposite All-Pro Richard Sherman, Maxwell had four interceptions and 12 passes defended as teams frequently challenged him. “Whenever we put him in he has done a great job and he really seized the opportunity last year when given the chance and just was competitive and The Associated Press productive as you could hope a guy to Seattle Seahawks' Byron Maxwell reaches for a ball at practice Tuesday. be,” coach Pete Carroll said.

“Obviously they’re going to challenge the guy on the other side of Richard (Sherman) and they did. He stood up to it, he handled the pressure of that really well.” Maxwell’s four interceptions were tied for 11th most in the league last season despite the limited playing time. He also forced a fumble in the Super Bowl as Seattle cruised to its first title with a 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos. “Everybody gets an opportunity and he gets his opportunity to shine now just like everybody else was afforded,” Sherman said. “I’m really happy he gets to shine and show his talents because he’s a tremendous player and makes a tremendous impact on the game.” Maxwell, a sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft, was selected just one round after Sherman. While both players showed potential early on, it was Maxwell that made the biggest impressions early in that first training camp with the Seahawks. However, a handful of nagging injuries hindered Maxwell as Sherman

Cowboys give tackle 8-year extension OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — Tyron Smith has a new contract that will probably make him the most important blocker for the next Dallas quarterback after Tony Romo. The Pro Bowl left tackle signed an eight-year, $98 million extension Wednesday that pushes the total value of his deal to $110 million over 10 years, locking him up through 2023. The extension includes a $10 million signing bonus and $40 million in guaranteed money. Smith joins Romo as the only Cowboys with contracts valued at more than $100 million. Smith has started all 47 games in his career, missing one game with a sprained ankle in 2012. He played right tackle as a rookie before moving to the left side, and this year he’ll be protecting Romo’s blind side with the 34-year-old coming off back surgery.

Greene, the fourth overall pick in the 1969 NFL draft, helped Pittsburgh win four Super Bowls during his 13-year career. The 10-time Pro Bowler was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1987.

passed him on the depth chart and became a star for the Seahawks. “It’s just everything happens for a reason,” Maxwell said. “I was meant to be in this situation so I’m just taking it and running with it.” Maxwell quietly developed in the background as Sherman and Browner assumed starting roles. When Browner was suspended and Thurmond injured late in 2012, Maxwell got his first chance for more playing time. He rotated in as a part of Seattle’s nickel package and proved he had the potential for an increased role. “I think he is one of our most technically sound guys so as he keeps getting into his technique, he just keeps getting sharper and sharper,” defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said. “Even though he’s a veteran player now, he keeps improving with the more work and more reps he gets.” Maxwell’s play late last season gave the team the confidence to let Browner and Thurmond leave in free agency.

HALL From Page B1 rent (Cardinals) organization is experiencing now,” Williams said. But the Cardinals slipped back into their inept ways and, after a decade in the desert, Williams left to join a winner. On draft day of 2001, the Cardinals traded him to the St. Louis Rams for draft picks. That year, for just the second time in his career, Williams was in the playoffs.
has rejected an attempt by seven former professional football players to intervene in a tentative class action settlement of concussion claims that would cost the NFL at least $765 million. Senior U.S. District Judge Anita Brody issued an order in Philadelphia late Tuesday denying the NFL retirees’ motion to intervene in the case. The players object to the settlement, calling it a “lousy deal” for ex-players whose symptoms don’t qualify them for compensation. Brody’s order said that players who object to the deal can raise their concerns at a fairness hearing scheduled for Nov. 19, or opt out of the settlement.
Ex-player’s domestic case closed LAS VEGAS (AP) — An attorney for former NFL running back Larry Johnson says the player’s Las Vegas domestic violence case is now closed after a judge determined he successfully completed community service and counseling requirements. Attorney Gregory Knapp says he appeared in court on Johnson’s behalf Wednesday and provided documents showing that the 34-year-old former Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins star completed his sentence. Knapp said the athlete volunteered for several nonprofits, including the American Heart Association. Johnson was arrested in October 2012 at the Bellagio after he was accused of beating and choking his 32-year-old exgirlfriend.
He started at left cornerback, helping transform a woeful Rams defense, and St. Louis reached the Super Bowl, where it lost to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots 20-17. Williams was moved to safety in the final years of his career, retiring in 2004, leaving a trail of admiration. “Everything he did, whether it was on or off the field, he did with a tremendous amount of honesty and dignity,” said Dave McGinnis, who coached Williams in Arizona. Williams had 55 interceptions, including eight seasons with at least four. He made the Hall of Fame in his third time as a finalist. Now a pastor in St. Louis, Williams will be introduced at the Hall of Fame induction by his father, Lawrence, whom he credits for molding him into the man he became. “I didn’t have to look outside my home for a hero,” Williams said. Growing up in a strict but loving family in New Orleans, Williams said school was more important to his parents than athletics. He played football in high school, but didn’t draw any interest from colleges. So he followed his older brother to Southern University. As a junior, he decided to join the football team as a walk-on. The following season, he led the Southwestern Athletic Conference with seven interceptions. Williams still remembers, and often repeats, what Southern defensive coordinator Percy Duhe told the New Orleans newspaper, that “Aeneas is a good player, but I don’t think he’ll ever go pro because he runs a 4.6 (second) 40-yard dash.” Williams said he joined the track team that year and worked with a fellow football player to improve his speed.
“I ran a 4.28 for scouts that spring,” he said. The then-Phoenix Cardinals picked him in the third round. While the team lost year after year, Williams said he bears no animosity. Quite the opposite. “I can say my time in Arizona was fulfilling, rewarding,” he said. “I’d never trade it for the world.” McGinnis, who was the defensive coordinator, then head coach, at Arizona, said every game plan would be developed around Williams. “I pulled him aside one day and told him ‘Having you play corner reminds me of having Mike Singletary at linebacker,”’ McGinnis said. Williams and Singletary are two of six Hall of Famers McGinnis has coached. “The one common thread that they all possessed is they elevated the play of everythem,” around body McGinnis said. “They had a different presence.” Williams said he was overwhelmed by the congratulations he received from former teammates and others who had been part of his football life. “I never wanted to just be a great player on the field,” he said. “I wanted people to experience joy off the field as well.” He carries with him a congratulatory note he got from Jay Zygmunt, former Rams president of football operations. Williams read it aloud, his voice cracking with emotion. Zygmunt started by saying he had been associated with many great players in his 27 years with the Rams. “You’re at the top of that list with your incredible play,” Williams read. “But your exemplary life as a man even surpasses your performance and accomplishments on the field.”

Bolt upset over report GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — Even before stepping on the track, Usain Bolt caused a stir at the Commonwealth Games. A day after mingling with British royalty at the Glasgow athletes’ village, Bolt scrambled Wednesday to deny that he made derogatory comments about the so-called “Friendly Games.” The Jamaican sprint star, who is only competing in the 4x100 relay here, was quoted as telling The T imes of London on Tuesday that he was “not really” having fun in Glasgow, and using a word that derided the caliber of the games. Bolt took to Twitter to complain about the comments attributed to him, posting: “I’m waking up to this nonsense ... journalist please don’t create lies to make headlines.” The Times defended its reporting, claiming on its website that Bolt performed a “U-turn” when he described the games as “awesome” on Wednesday. “We stand by this story 100 percent,” said Angus Macleod, the newspaper’s Scottish editor. “We have utter confidence in this story.” The paper also published an apparent transcript of the interview, starting with reporter Katie Gibbons identifying herself as being from The Times. Asked if the event was like the London 2012 Olympics, the six-time Olympic gold medalist is reported to have
Stern predicts Sterling issue will “end well” NEW YORK (AP) — Former Commissioner David Stern praised the NBA’s handling of the Donald Sterling controversy and predicts it will “end well” for the league. Stern said his successor, Adam Silver, has been “forceful” but also “demonstrated a compassionate side” in his reaction to the racist remarks that were made by the Los Angeles Clippers owner. Silver fined Sterling $2.5 million and banned him for life after the recorded comments became public. Sterling’s wife, Shelly, later agreed to sell the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for a record $2 billion, a transaction the league believes will close shortly even as Donald Sterling continues trying to fight in court. Stern retired after 30 years as commissioner in February. He will be enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame next week.

The 33-year-old running back signed a one-year contract extension with Buffalo, placing the Bills’ unquestioned leader on offense under contract through 2015. Following an injury-plagued 2012 campaign, Jackson rushed for 890 yards and nine touchdowns last season while battling two separate knee sprains. Jackson has rushed for 5,121 yards and 28 career touchdowns while adding 2,139 yards and six touchdowns as a receiver.

The left-handed hitting infielder, on the disabled list since June 9 because of a sprained left knee, spent 13 seasons with the Oakland Athletics, two with the New York Yankees and was in his second season with Arizona. Chavez won six AL Gold Gloves from 2001-2006. In 1,615 career regular-season games, he hit .268 with 260 home runs and 902 RBIs. This season, he hit .246 with three homers and eight RBIs in 69 atbats.

Games organizers were quick to defend Bolt, who is due to make his first track appearance of the year in

Cop once drew gun on squirrel-hunting QB Winston TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston and Florida State teammate Chris Casher were held at gunpoint by campus police nearly two years ago while hunting squirrels with a pellet gun, police say. Officer Anthony Gioannetti responded to a call and found the pair near a campus bike path with a long-barreled pistol. He drew his gun, pointed it at the players and shouted several times for them to get on the ground. One of the players dropped the gun and Gioannetti kept his weapon draw until another officer handcuffed the players. The officers then determined the pistol was a pel-
let gun. “They said they were shooting at squirrels along the bike trail,” Gioannetti wrote in his report. The gun was confiscated and the players were released with no charges. The November 2012 incident was reported by USA Today on Wednesday. Contacted after the report, Winston said, “Sorry sir, I’m not talking about that.” When contacted by The Associated Press to comment, Casher originally hung up. But he called back and wanted to know why this was being reported now. He then used obscenities as he criticized USA Today for running the report.

Hernandez sets record, but Mariners still lose CLEVELAND (AP) — Felix Hernandez’s record-setting night ended with another road loss to the Indians. The Mariners’ ace right-hander only allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings Wednesday night, but was outdueled by Corey Kluber as Cleveland beat Seattle 2-0. Hernandez (11-3) became the first pitcher in baseball history with 14 consecutive starts of at least seven innings and two or fewer runs allowed, breaking the mark of Tom Seaver of the New York Mets from July 17-Sept. 16, 1971. Kluber (11-6), however, was even better in throwing a three-hitter for his first career shutout. Kyle Seager, Robinson Cano and Logan Morrison accounted for Seattle’s only base runners with singles.
“It was a tough game against a tough pitcher who did a great job tonight,” said Hernandez, who struck out five. “Setting the record means a lot to me because I’ve got to be consistent,but I’m not happy because we lost. That’s just baseball.” Cleveland only managed one hit in eight innings against Hernandez on June 29 in Seattle, but beat the former American League Cy Young winner at home again. In 10 career starts at Progressive Field, Hernandez is 3-6 with a 4.27 ERA. He is 118-83 in every other ballpark. “Felix is a little down because he believes he let the team down, but I’m pretty proud of him,” Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. “Once you get past the loss, it was a historic night and a great individual
accomplishment for him.” Hernandez carried a perfect game into the fifth, but Carlos Santana led off with a walk and Lonnie Chisenhall followed with a double. Both scored on a double by Yan Gomes that bounced directly over first base, resulting in the only runs. Hernandez took the blame for failing to cover first base on Nick Swisher’s infield that that loaded the bases earlier in the inning. “That was terrible,” he said. “It was all my fault.” It was Hernandez’s first loss since June 13 at Texas, and dropped Seattle three games behind Toronto for the final AL wild-card spot. “Both starters were great,” Seager said. “Felix only had that one rough inning, and that was on a
great pitch to (Gomes). We didn’t do our part, but that shouldn’t take anything away from him setting a pretty impressive record.” Deadline discussion: McClendon said he wasn’t concerned about how his roster could change before the non-waiver trade deadline Thursday. “I just focus on what I’ve got because it’s the only way you can operate,” he said. Status quo: Mariners left fielder Dustin Ackley batted leadoff for the second straight game and the second time this season. Right fielder Endy Chavez, who had been atop the order before jamming his left little finger, hit second. “Dustin is swinging the bat good, so it would be hard to take him out of that spot,” McClendon said. Ackley went 0 for 4 to snap his seven-game hitting streak, while
Chavez was 0 for 3. Trainer’s room: Seattle lefthander James Paxton (left back muscle strain) threw a 45-pitch bullpen session and declared himself “ready to compete.” Paxton has been on the disabled list since April 9,but went 20 with a 2.25 ERA in two outings before his injury.“To be able to throw as hard as I can felt really great,” he said. Paxton could be activated to start Saturday in Baltimore. On deck: Mariners right-hander Chris Young (9-6) takes on Indians righty Zach McAllister (3-6) in the three-game series finale Thursday. Young has won both of his career starts against Cleveland, posting a 0.69 ERA with 11 strikeouts in 13 innings. McAllister’s 5.65 ERA is the highest of the eight starters used by the Indians this year.
Kemp singles in winning run as Dodgers win in 10 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matt Kemp singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, Zack Greinke struck out a season-high 13 and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 on Wednesday night for their season-best fifth straight victory. Kemp scored the Dodgers’ first two runs of the game, including his 11th homer leading off the second. Pinch-hitter Justin Turner singled to open the 10th and took second on a wild pitch by David Hale (3-3). Kemp followed with the winning single to left. J.P. Howell (3-3) got the win in relief, walking two and striking out one in one inning. T h e Braves tied the MLB game 2-2 Recap on Justin U p t o n ’s home run off closer Kenley Jansen leading off the ninth. Greinke allowed one run and five hits in eight innings while walking one. He was making his first start at home since June 28. Giants 7, Pirates 5: Reliever Jean Machi and San Francisco took advantage of a huge baserunning blunder by Pittsburgh, tagging out two runners who wandered away on the same play and beating the Pirates to end a six-game losing streak. The Giants stopped a skid that matched its longest of the season, and avoided the club’s first winless homestand of at least seven games in the 15-year history of AT&T Park. The Pirates, who had won three in a row, led 5-4 in the sixth when Chris Stewart drew a one-out walk with runners on second and third. Machi (6-0) got the ball back from the catcher and noticed Travis Snider had left second base, thinking it was a basesloaded walk. Machi threw to shortstop Brandon Crawford to trap Snider in a rundown. Crawford tagged out Snider, then threw to Machi to catch Gaby Sanchez in a rundown when he broke home from third. Machi tossed back to third baseman Pablo
Sandoval for the tag. Rockies 6, Cubs 4: Brandon Barnes hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the 10th inning, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Chicago Cubs. Colorado loaded the bases on two walks and Michael McKenry’s third hit of the game before Barnes singled with one out against Wesley Wright (0-2). Drew Stubbs then scored on a wild pitch, helping the Rockies stop a three-game slide. Brewers 5, Rays 0: Yovani Gallardo gave up four hits in seven innings, Martin Maldonado tied a career high with four RBIs and the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers avoided a threegame sweep by beating David Price and Tampa Bay Gallardo (6-5) retired 13 in a row at one point. Price (11-8), the subject of trade speculation heading into Thursday’s deadline for non-waiver deals, had his bid to win a team-record seventh consecutive start dashed after allowing four runs and seven hits over seven innings. Orioles 4, Angels 3: Kevin Gausman pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, Adam Jones homered and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels for their seventh win in nine games. Gausman (5-3) retired his first 14 batters he faced. Darren O’Day struck out two in a perfect eighth and Zach Britton gave up a single in the ninth before earning his 21st save. Astros 8, Athletics 1: Dallas Keuchel pitched a four-hitter and Robbie Grossman homered to cap a six-run first inning that sent the Houston Astros over Oakland. Keuchel (10-7) threw his fourth complete game of the season, tying Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw for the major league lead. The Astros won the series from the AL West-leading Athletics. Keuchel struck out five and walked three. Josh Donaldson hit his 23rd homer for Oakland’s only run. Jason Hammel (0-4) remained winless in four starts since the A’s acquired him with pitcher Jeff
Samardzija from the Cubs earlier this month. Hammel was 8-5 before the trade. Tigers 7, White Sox 2: Max Scherzer pitched seven impressive innings, and the Detroit Tigers scored six runs in the first inning to beat the Chicago White Sox. Nick Castellanos hit a three-run homer in the first and added an RBI single in the seventh for the Tigers, who snapped a four-game losing streak. Scherzer (13-3) allowed a run and five hits. Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 1: Mark Buehrle pitched 6 2-3 innings to earn his first win in almost two months and Dioner Navarro had three hits and three RBIs to lead the Toronto Blue Jays over Boston for their fifth consecutive victory. Brandon Workman (1-4) fell behind quickly after being called up from TripleA to replace trade bait Jon Lester. Lester was originally scheduled to start for Boston, but the All-Star was scratched while his name is bandied about ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. As the Red Sox went down in the ninth, fans remaining from the sellout crowd chanted, “Jonny Lester!” Rangers 3, Yankees 2: Colby Lewis retired his final 13 batters in seven strong innings and the Texas Rangers clinched their first series victory in a month, beating the New York Yankees. Brett Gardner led off the game with a homer for the second straight night, after homering twice in the seriesopening loss for New York. The Rangers had lost seven consecutive series since taking two of three against Minnesota from June 27-29. Texas went ahead to stay with three runs in the first off Hiroki Kuroda (7-7). Lewis (7-8) allowed four hits. Neftali Feliz worked the ninth for his third save in as many chances since reassuming the closer role after Joakim Soria was traded to Detroit. Derek Jeter was 0 for 4 in his final game in Texas. Nationals 4, Marlins 3: Tanner Roark won his fourth consecutive start and Washington averted a series
sweep by snapping Miami’s six-game winning streak. For the fourth start in a row, Roark (11-6) allowed one run in seven innings, lowering his ERA to 2.74. Drew Storen allowed two runs in the ninth before retiring Reid Johnson on a forceout with two on for the final out to earn his first save since August 2013. Jayson Werth, back in the lineup after missing one start because of a sore right ankle, put the Nationals ahead to stay with a sacrifice fly in their three-run eighth. Mets 11, Phillies 2: Daniel Murphy hit a threerun homer to back up Zack Wheeler’s sixth straight strong start, and New York routed Philadelphia. The Mets sent 10 men to the plate in the seventh inning, scoring five insurance runs off the Philadelphia bullpen to take two of three in the series. Lucas Duda homered and had three RBIs.
Diamondbacks 5, Reds 4: Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer that kept Alfredo Simon winless since the All-Star game, and Arizona held on to take a series between two teams struggling to score runs. Goldschmidt’s 19th homer off Simon (12-6) gave the Diamondbacks two of three in the series. Simon has gone 0-3 since his first All-Star selection. Didi Gregorius added a two-run homer in the ninth. The Reds fell to 2-10 since the All-Star break. Devin Mesoraco’s three-run homer in the ninth off Addison Reed ended a streak of 11 straight games with three runs or fewer, Cincinnati’s longest such stretch of futility since 1967. Wade Miley (7-7) gave up seven hits and four walks in 6 2-3 innings, improving to 4-1 in his past five starts fpor Arizona. Reed earned his 26th save in 31 chances.
Royals 3, Twins 2: Salvador Perez triggered a go-ahead rally with a double in the sixth inning and made several spectacular plays behind the plate, helping Kansas City top Minnesota. Jason Frasor (2-1) earned his first win since arriving from Texas by striking out Chris Colabello to leave the bases loaded in the sixth inning. Padres 12, Cardinals 1: Rookie Jesse Hahn held St. Louis to one run and four hits in seven innings and Jedd Gyorko and Will Venable each homered and drove in four runs to lead San Diego. Solarte, Yangervis obtained from the New York Yankees in the trade for Chase Headley, had four hits and the Padres tied their season high with 16. The Padres fell one run shy of their season high. Will Venable hit a threerun homer to right to cap the eight-run seventh.
Farewell for Jeter in Texas is presidential
Former San Diego Padres’ all-star outfielder Tony Gwynn was given his own day by acting governor Toni Atkins on Wednesday.
The Associated Press
Acting governor declares Tony Gwynn Day SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A San Diego lawmaker who briefly filled in as governor declared Tony Gwynn Day in honor of the late Padres baseball player. Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins proclaimed Wednesday as a day to remember the Hall of Famer who spent his entire career with the Padres. Gwynn had 3,141 hits in 20 seasons and served as head baseball coach at San Diego State. He died of oral cancer at age 54 in

June. Atkins’ proclamation praises Gwynn for formidable skills on the field and an exuberant personality. The San Diego Democrat became California’s fourth governor in four days while Gov. Jerry Brown led a trade mission to Mexico this week. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Senate leader Darrell Steinberg also served as governor before leaving the state for other reasons.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Derek Jeter got a surprise presidential farewell before playing his final game in Texas, when former President George W. Bush took part in a pregame ceremony Wednesday night. Retired Rangers All-Stars Michael Young and Ivan Rodriguez first presented Jeter a pair of cowboy boots inscribed with the New York team logo, his name and No. 2. A video was then shown of Bush at Yankee Stadium before Game 3 of the 2001 World Series. “I did have one good reason to leave Washington for a few hours. The New York Yankees had invited me to throw out the first pitch,” Bush recalled in the video.
“Seven weeks after 9/11, it would send a powerful signal for the president to show up at Yankee Stadium.” Bush, recounting the story from an excerpt in his 2010 book “Decision Points,” then spoke about going into an indoor batting cage to loosen his arm. “After a few warm-up pitches, the great Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter dropped in to take some swings. We talked a little,” Bush said, adding that Jeter told him to throw from the mound, “Or else they’ll boo you. ... But don’t bounce it. They’ll boo you.” When the video ended, showing Bush throwing a strike, the former president came on the field. He gave a
surprised Jeter a framed signed picture of the two together in the batting cage that night nearly 13 years ago. The photo was from the archives of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in nearby Dallas. Rodriguez played against Jeter and was his teammate at the end of the 2008 season with the Yankees. Young, like Jeter, was also an All-Star shortstop. “Obviously from a competitive standpoint, the guy’s off the charts, a Hall of Fame player,” Young said. “He stayed his entire career in one place, a very demanding place, and was basically an impact player from the day he stepped on the field.”

BRIDGE Dorothy Miller Richardson, an English novelist, said, “If there was a trick, there must be a trickster.” I suppose all bridge players could be called tricksters, even though some are more skillful at prestidigitation than others. In this deal, South is trying to bring home nine tricks in no-trump. After West leads the diamond queen, what should declarer do? And suppose dummy’s hearts were A-Q-10. Would that change South’s plan? After South opens two no-trump,
showing a balanced hand with a good 20 to a so-so 22 points, North is right not to use Stayman with 4-3-3-3 distribution and such weak spades. Even if South has four spades, it is unlikely that four spades would make and three no-trump fail. The reverse would be more probable. South starts with six top tricks: one spade, three hearts and two diamonds. Obviously, declarer should try to collect three club winners — but how should he play the suit? This is a great example of “lead up to honors.” South should plan to cross to dummy three times with a heart and to play a club toward his hand. Whenever East has the club ace or the suit splits 3-3, the contract will come home. Note that leading a club honor from hand leads to defeat with this layout. If dummy’s hearts are AQ-10, it is a much tougher problem. If East has acefourth of clubs, South needs three heart entries, so should play a heart to the 10, hoping West has the jack. But that risks going down when clubs are 3-3. The odds of each line are almost equal — guess well.

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF OBJECT OF COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR RELIEF Umpqua filed this action for the judi-
THURSDAY, JULY 31, 2014 Inactivity will be your downfall this year. Make a point to keep moving ahead until you reach your goals. If you surround yourself with reliable and supportive people, you will be able to fulfill your dreams and achieve your desires. Participation will make a difference. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — The opportunity to form your own business looks favorable. Take the first steps with pride. You will find that small victories will lead to bigger and better possibilities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Career matters should be at the top of your list today. You can take advantage of a lucrative financial deal if you are ready to act. Put social engagements on the back burner for now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Show off your best qualities. Your improved appearance will make you feel more confident and assured. You will earn more respect from others if you feel better about yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Others may try to influence you, but don’t do anything that could compromise your health today. Overindulging will lead to troublesome health concerns or embarrassment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Use a friend as a sounding board for your ideas. By voicing your dreams, you are likely to attract help that could take your plans and spin them in a favorable direction. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Business dealings and negotiations will not be fruitful today. Set aside time to work on your own tasks, and avoid being drawn into any disagreements with your peers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — By joining in discussions with people from different backgrounds, you will find a space to share novel and creative ideas. You will broaden your prospects and find compatible partners. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — The health concerns of an older relative must not be overlooked. Take a close look at this person’s surroundings to help safeguard against accidents. Being responsible will result
interest through February 20, 2014, in the amount of $5,418.54, plus interest accruing thereafter at the rate of 8.75 percent per annum ($9.17 per day) until fully paid or the date judgment is entered (whichever occurs first), plus late charges of $361.39 as of February 20, 2014, plus additional late charges and costs as set forth in the Note until the date judgment is entered, plus Umpqua’s reasonable attorney fees, costs, and disbursements incurred herein, plus post-judgment simple interest on all the foregoing amounts at the maximum rate allowed by law from the date judgment is entered until fully paid; 2. That the foregoing amounts for which judgment is sought be declared a valid lien against the Real Property; 3. That Umpqua’s lien on the Real Property be foreclosed and the Real Property be sold by judicial sale in the manner prescribed by law and that the proceeds derived from the sale of the Real Property be applied first to the costs of sale and expenses incurred,
in an unexpected reward for you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Stay away from the spotlight today. Unless your opinion is asked for, keep quiet. You could end up in a verbal tug-of-war or a vulnerable position. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t let restlessness or irritability get to you. Instead, catch up on unfinished chores that have been nagging at you. Focus inward and stay out of trouble. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Consider modernizing your look. You can be more stylish without falling prey to the latest fashion trends. Ask your friends for help and advice if you get confused. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You will benefit if you put more effort into achieving harmony at home. Being agreeable and offering assistance will help you build strong relationships and family ties. FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 2014 Put past unpleasantness behind you. Rehashing former mistakes or disappointments will sap the energy you need to move forward. Hard work and a positive attitude are the best tools to help you move forward. Live in the moment and aim to build a brighter future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A charity or volunteer event will provide the backdrop for an interesting meeting. A new acquaintance will be more attracted to you than you realize. Handle with care. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Include children in your plans today. A picnic, a day at the beach or a camping trip will boost everyone-s spirits and provide a welcome change from daily routines. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Your personal life will be in turmoil. You would be wise to re-evaluate your motives and explore your feelings regarding certain close relationships. Be honest with yourself and others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Your creativity and imagination are

That defendants and all persons claiming an interest in the Real Property by, through, or under them, whether as purchasers, owners, encumbrances, or otherwise, be barred and foreclosed of all right, title, interest, lien, or claim of every kind in and to the Real Property, and every part and parcel thereof, including the tenements, hereditaments, appurtenances, and fixtures, if any, thereunto belonging or appertaining, except for any statutory right of redemption that defendants may have in and to the Real Property; 5.

working at full strength today. Look into activities that challenge your talents and your mind. Romance is on the rise and will improve your personal life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It’s a great day to socialize with friends or relatives. Don’t be disappointed if someone doesn’t want to be included. Enjoy the people who do participate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You will gain the upper hand if you ignore negative comments. The person playing mind games will be seen as spiteful and not be taken seriously. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Your plans will become more of a reality once you get the information required to move forward. Consult whoever has the means to help you follow your dream. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It’s impossible to change everything you don’t like, but acceptance can make it easier to move on to new enterprises. Devote your time and effort to working hard and being a caring and considerate person. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — A charitable institution or cause will benefit from your giving nature. Get involved and make a difference for those less fortunate. Forget about people who have let you down in the past. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You will feel pleased about your current prospects. Make use of opportunities to interact with peers in your field. Your hard work will soon pay off. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You are not using your potential fully. Hone your skills by joining a group that can help you to master your talents. A mental challenge will prove stimulating. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — This is not a good time to lend or borrow money. Don’t be deceived by someone claiming to have the power to quickly increase your cash flow. Play it safe to avoid a loss.
