Duck Commander

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

EUGENE — Mark Helfrich has no problem admitting he has his dream job.

The new head football coach at Oregon has got his nameplate on the corner office of the palatial new athletic operations building and has been given the reigns of the burgeoning national empire that is Ducks football.

But for the living pride from Oregon’s Bay Area, it’s the VIDEO people of Coos Bay and See the video interview the way they for this story online at helped along theworldlink.com the way that makes forgetting his roots impossible.

“You’re around people that are just solid to the core, hard working, fun people,” Helfrich, 39, said.

“The blue collar mentality. We have a lot of fancy stuff but if you don’t work hard, it doesn’t matter.

“A lot of people I grew up around worked really hard and earned everything they got.”

Growing Up Born in Medford, Helfrich moved to Coos Bay when he was 3

His father was a mainstay around Coos Bay even after Mark moved and was not hard to spot.

Michael Helfrich was an offensive lineman at Oregon before transferring to Southern Oregon and was — as most Division 1 linemen — a massive man.

While Helfrich said they didn’t have many “touchy-feely” kind of conversations, his dad literally wore on his huge frame how proud he was of his son. While the son bounced around coaching jobs from Oregon to Boise State, to Arizona State, to Colorado and back to Oregon, the father would wear the team’s jacket wherever he went.

As Helfrich worked his way up the coaching ranks, dad attended every game he could. Helfrich said his dad “wore out” the early 5 a.m. flights out of North Bend airport traveling to his games. A few years ago while checking out one of Helfrich’s games at Arizona, Mike Helfrich passed away in Tucson.

When asked how proud his dad would be of his office now, Helfrich visualized his dad sitting in the corner of his office with a smirk on his face, embarrassed and awed at SEE HELFRICH | A8

Budding romance Gardening helps love grow over decades

BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

NORTH BEND - It is remarkable that Herb and Betsie Kinney, members of the Coos Bay Garden Club, won this year’s Oregon State Federated Garden Clubs 2013 Horticulture Award. It is, however, just one of many remarkable things about these two high school sweethearts.

Their daughter, Katie Wash, says the couple just recently celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary. It’s safe to say that, of that nearly seven decades of wedded bliss, a good amount of their time was spent in the garden. In

DEATHS

CHARLESTON — Coos Bay’s only public ice dock has broken down, leaving commercial fisherman without enough ice to cool their catch.

Martin Callery, chief operating officer for the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay, said the compressor motor for the plant’s ice-making machinery failed. Callery said the port has ordered a new motor, which is supposed to arrive tomorrow.

In the meantime, the lack of ice has left local fishermen in dire straits.

Jeff Reeves, vice chairman of the Oregon Salmon Commission, said the lack of ice is especially hurting smaller boats like his that haven’t been able to fish in recent strong winds.

“I’ll be bankrupt in less than 10 days if I can’t fish,” Reeves said.

“That requires like three tons of ice.”

Reeves said independent fishermen have turned to Hallmark Fisheries plant in the past, but that they don’t currently have ice available for non-affiliated boats.

“This community is losing a lot of dollars — I’m talking big dollars and a lot of jobs — because the Port of Coos Bay has let them down,” he said.

Callery said the port first began assuming control of ice dock operations in 2010.

“We took the plant over for a while and rehabilitated it,” Callery said. “Once we finished, (former owner) Pat Houck continued to operate it for a while.”

He said Houck decided he didn’t want to be in the ice business and the port acquired his interest in the machinery and facility.

Callery said the plant should be back to full operation by early next week.

fact, for their 50th anniversary, Wash made a photo montage of some of those gardens under the caption, “Making the world prettier, one garden at a time.”

Both are children of farming families, which may be the source of their mutual love of gardening.

The Kinney’s have cultivated land in a variety of climates over the years, from Tennessee to Maryland, and from the Mojave Desert to the Oregon Coast. Each region, they say, presents its own gardening challenges.

For instance, Herb notes that when they left the Mojave 11 years SEE GARDENING | A8

Cheers Jeers

& Artful effort

Cheers to Bandon artist Vicki Affatati for her efforts to restore a movie mural on the side of the Savoy Theatre in Port Orford.

Double cheers for including local students from the After School Arts and Culture Club in the project.

The club is Affatati's brainchild, and she runs it during the school year at Harbor Lights Middle School.

Better things to do?

We're all for constitutional freedoms, but could there be more pressing local issues for the Coos County Commissioners to deal with.

Tuesday's 2-1 vote to adopt a resolution voicing disapproval of the National Defense Authorization Act certainly makes a statement, but to who? And for what?

We can't help but agree with Commissioner John Sweet, who said, “I believe I was elected to deal with county issues.”

Public Forum Animal abuse at parks saddens family Receiving The World newspaper today I was so saddened on the article, “Group fights for fowl at Mingus Park.” How could anyone be so insensitive to such beautiful geese and ducks that call the park home?

While my grandson Bryan visited me in June, he wanted to go to Empire Lake to visit a beautiful large goose we called Charlie. A friend who lived by the lake told me someone had shot and killed him. I thought this violence may have been just a random act, but now feel it is happening too often. I think the parks department should do all they can to stop this. The Friends of Mingus Park should keep the watch up, and the Coos Bay police should prosecute anyone for any animal abuse. This has got to stop.

One way to check for spotted owls On an elder hostel program, we went to Arcata, Calif. We were birding. One of our days was spent with a wildlife biologist. He took us into a second growth forest. We were going to see the northern spotted owl. He said he had found 50 nests of the spotted owl. We drove some back roads. We stopped, he said we will see the owl soon.

The biologist reached in his truck, into a bucket, and brought up a white mouse. He placed the mouse at the tip of a stick. Then

What other people say about LNG “Fearmongering”? Jon Barton’s July 27 letter, with a cavalier attitude toward our many neighbors concerned by the hazards of a nearby LNG factory, 200-mile pipeline and humongous transport vessels who oppose local LNG, is interesting.

You alone must decide if LNG is good for you. Don’t be bamboozled by any pro- or con-LNG supporter. Consider what other people have said: ■ “You want to have these (LNG terminals) away from population centers ... for safety issues, for issues of noise, visual impact” — Don Felsinger, CEO of $11 billion annual sales (imported LNG and exported natural gas) Sempra Energy ■ “LNG presents risks and residents have to determine if they are willing to accept those risks” — William Kramer Jr, LNG Chairman for the National Association of State Fire Marshalls ■ “Any gas that is confined is explosive” — Richard Swartz, Massachusetts Firefighting Academy ■ Tank failure “would be the world’s largest Roman candle” — Gordon Shearer, CEO with extensive LNG experience ■ “We know that Al Qaida has targeted our ports for attack in order to inflict massive economic losses on the U.S.” — U.S. Rep Peter DeFazio.

Most experts consider at least 1 mile to be the hazard zone — that mile includes Sunset and Madison schools. Isn’t it Mr. Barton’s SCDC colleague pushing LNG and arguing for the pipeline to be on others’ property, not theirs? Strange.

Barton writes about 28 LNG factory/vessel deaths worldwide (one in U.S.). There are at least 66 documented LNG factory/natural gas pipeline/piping related deaths ( and hundreds of documented injuries) without

counting the LNG tanks catastrophic events of Staten Island in 1973 (37 dead); or Cleveland in 1944 (128 dead with 1 square mile incinerated). Consider also the double hulls of the tanker Limburg were breached by terrorists.

Correct, you will not taste, see, or smell the methane cloud while LNG is returning to a gaseous state and searching for an ignition source. LNG on water vapor cloud is denser than in air. Unlike us, the multi-billion dollar LNG factory, in an enterprise zone, will not be paying tax for several years and there is no enforceable agreement that schools will get one cent in lieu of taxes. Nothing guarantees any local unemployed person a temporary or permanent job. Most jobs will be filled by outsiders working hard by day and partying harder by night.

Better safe ...

Kudos to Reedsport police and other first responders in how they handled the suspicious device found along U.S. Highway 101 last Saturday.

Some folks initially called the temporary road closure and appearance of the state police bomb squad an overreaction. Skeptics quieted down, however, when authorities confirmed the devise was a pipe bomb.

Life begins at 40 Cheers to Circle the Bay, the premier event of the South Coast Running Club, which marks its 40th year with today's event.

Besides the estimated 150 who will run, the event draws up to 100 volunteers.

That’s community building.

“We will have a few people participating and supporting that ran it 40 years ago,” said race director Anthony Collins.

“That makes this event special.”

This ain’t cool Disappointing that Coos Bay’s only public ice dock broke down late this week. Local independent fishermen have already been hampered by recent high winds. Repairs are coming, of course, but days of lost fishing are days of lost income. Not good.

What do you think?

Politicians, heal thyselves The other afternoon President Barack Obama gave what the White House described as a “major speech.” When political aides describe their boss’s forthcoming perorations as “major,” they almost always are speaking in hope rather than in reality. By employing the five-letter intensifier, they are saying to press and public: Please pay attention to this one.

This one, in truth, deserved some attention. The president is seeking to change the conversation, away from what he called “short-term thinking” and “the same old stale debates.” Six times he invoked the word “bargain,” suggesting that his new bargain was a riff off the New Deal.

White House aides did more than portray the president’s speech as major, though they might have done well to describe it in that manner rather than the way they did, which was to say it was part of a campaign-style effort by the president.

That may have been a major (that word again) tactical mistake — voters are turned off by a president on a campaign, particularly when he has just won re-election.

But that wasn’t the only misstep. The White House also made it as clear as a July afternoon that there wouldn’t be much new in these speeches, no new political initiatives, no new economic proposals, which is not exactly the way to build anticipation, or an audience.

This political initiative, disparaged and dismissed bitterly by Obama’s Republican rivals, comes at a difficult passage for the president. He cried wolf over the sequester,

blaming Republicans for setting off a new crisis, when in fact most of the country has carried on pretty well during the sequester, though in part because so few pay attention to the troubles of those terrorized by the wolves, particularly if they are poor and virtually voiceless.

Besides, the sequester, which he excoriated in his speech on Wednesday, can fairly be laid as much at his door as at the Republicans’.

(The sequester grew out of a scheme conceived in the White House as a threat so odious that no one could possibly embrace it, a DAVID strategy that backfired terSHRIBMAN ribly. It was passed by Congress — where one Columnist house is controlled by the Democrats — and signed by the president.)

Obama, whose policies and priorities are being undermined systematically in obscure corners of Capitol Hill, is registering poll ratings that aren’t exactly robust. The latest Marist Institute survey puts Obama’s approval rating at its lowest in nearly two years, 41 percent, a drop of nine points since April. Only 37 percent said they approved of the president’s economic performance.

The president’s remarks Wednesday came at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill. Obama has made scant use of the Oval Office, which his predecessors sometimes used for major addresses. Ronald Reagan spoke there 16

times (including his memorable remarks on the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle), Obama only twice.

One truth of our time is that presidential speeches aren’t what they used to be — not what they were in the FDR or Reagan years.

And presidential campaign-style efforts in non-campaign years have not fared especially well.

The public is increasingly pessimistic about Obama’s prospects for the remainder of his term; last week’s Wall Street Journal/NBC News Poll showed more than a third of Americans expressing that pessimism, exactly double the rate of the public who expressed optimism — a chilling sign for the White House. But Obama possesses an advantage his predecessors lacked — a public that has even less patience for the Congress than for the president. The legislative branch’s disapproval rate, according to the same poll, is an astonishing 83 percent, as opposed to only 12 percent who express approval for congressional performance.

So this summer is developing into a terrible season, as bad in its way as winter was. A struggling president has begun a campaignstyle offensive with no campaign in sight against a discredited Congress still 15 months away from its own midterm elections. The word from the public, however, is clear: Heal thyselves. We’re not going to help.

An endangered 10-month-old western pond turtle, native to Washington, is examined, weighed, sized, tagged and marked for identification in preparation for its release into the wild in an undisclosed location on July 31 in Seattle. The turtles were collected from the wild as eggs, hatched and “head started.” They’re back from the brink of extinction from a low of about 150 in the early 1990s to around 1,500 now because of a programs at Woodland Park Zoo and the Oregon Zoo.

Google-funded research vessel sets sail SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A $60 million research ship funded by a Google executive was scheduled to set sail from San Francisco on Thursday, on its way to study a “dead zone” in the Pacific Ocean and other mysteries of the sea.

The 272-foot vessel, Falkor, carries an unmanned submarine that will travel deep into the ocean off Vancouver Island to study an area where sea life dies each year from a periodic lack of oxygen, called hypoxia.

Researchers speculate that the cause may be a changing climate or caustic runoff like sewage from land.

And scientists working aboard the Falkor are treated to amenities not found on the usual research ship: a sauna and down-filled bunks among them, the San Francisco Chronicle reported .

“It may not be needed up here,” Victor Zykov, the institute’s director of research, told the newspaper about the sauna. “But when we’re up in cold Canadian waters, the scientists and crew will surely appreciate it after a long day on deck.”

The Falkor is funded by the Schmidt Ocean Science Institute, which was cofounded by Google executive

STATE D I G E S T Eric Schmidt and his wife, Wendy.

After stopping to study the dead zone, the ship named for a flying creature in the movie “The NeverEnding Story” will move on to study a submarine volcano, the Axial Seamount, about 300 miles west of Oregon.

A microbiologist will study the tiny organisms living for millions of years inside fissures in the volcanic rock, and another scientist will study viruses that have adapted to the unique habitat.

The parasite is cryptosporidium, which causes severe diarrhea. A common source is animal feces.

LEBANON (AP) — The Linn County sheriff’s office says detectives are investigating the murder of a Lebanon man whose body was found at a remote campsite.

While standing on a dock, he urinated and fell over a railing. At the hospital, he registered a blood-alcohol level of 0.25 percent.

Schwirse sued for workers’ compensation benefits and at first was victorious, when an administrative law judge ruled that workplace hazards had

been a factor in his fall. But the judge later reversed his ruling when Schwirse backed off a claim that he tripped over an orange cone.

The worker appealed it to U.S. District Court, where he lost, and the case landed in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which denied a petition for a review of claims this week. The court said his injuries were due solely to intoxication and his employers could not be held responsible.

Schwirse later tried to argue that the very concrete onto which he fell, and not his intoxication, was responsible for his injuries. That argument also lost.

Global travel warning: US cites al-Qaida threat

BY BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The United States issued an extraordinary global travel warning to Americans Friday about the threat of an alQaida attack and closed down 21 embassies and consulates across the Muslim world for the weekend.

The alert was the first of its kind since an announcement preceding the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This one comes with the scars still fresh from last year’s deadly Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, and with the Obama administration and Congress determined to prevent any similar breach of an American Embassy or consulate.

“There is a significant threat stream and we’re reacting to it,” said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

He told ABC News in an interview to be aired Sunday that the threat was “more specific” than previous ones and the “intent is to attack Western, not just U.S. interests.”

The State Department warning urged American travelers to take extra precautions overseas, citing potential dangers involved with public transportation systems and other prime sites for tourists and noting that previous terrorist attacks have centered on subway and rail networks as well as airplanes and boats. It suggested travelers sign up for State Department alerts and register with U.S. consulates in

A MINUTE MESSAGE From NORM RUSSELL

The Associated Press

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, left, speaks to staff members at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan Thursday. The Obama administration hasn't sent its top diplomat to Pakistan since 2011, and Kerry's trip is a chance for the former senator to get to know the newly elected prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, who came to power in Pakistan's first transition between civilian governments. the countries they visit.

The statement said that al-Qaida or its allies might target either U.S. government or private American interests. The alert expires on Aug. 31.

The State Department said the potential for terrorism was particularly acute in the Middle East and North Africa, with a possible attack occurring on or coming from the Arabian Peninsula.

U.S. officials pointed specifically to Yemen, the home of al-Qaida’s most dangerous offshoot and the network blamed for several notable terrorist plots on the United States, from the foiled Christmas Day 2009 effort to bomb an airliner over Detroit to the explosives-laden parcels intercepted the fol-

While camped out at the fair, we noticed a small piece of corn chip moving across the mat on the ground. It was being transported by an ant which was half the size of the chip. We watched in amazement as the ant struggled to move his burden to its intended destiny. I was reminded of a passage of scripture that says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard, observe her ways and be wise, which, having no chief officer or ruler, prepares her food in the summer and gathers her provisions in the harvest.” Proverbs 6:6-8 and in Proverbs 30:24 and 25 “Four things are small on the earth but they are exceeding wise: the ants are not a strong folk, but they prepare their food in the summer.”

The American people used to be just like the ants. They worked hard, and prepared for the days ahead. But something happened.

What started out as a good thing appears to be doing serious damage to our individualism and self-reliance. It is killing our pride and our self-worth.

Let us learn from the ant, who has no other means of caring for itself than its own determination.

Even if it means attempting to take on a load much bigger than itself.

Come worship with us Sunday.

“Current information suggests that al-Qaida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks both in the region and beyond, and that they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August,” a department statement said.

The alert was posted a day after the U.S. announced it would shut many diplomatic facilities Sunday. Spokeswoman Marie Harf said the department acted out of an “abundance of caution” and that some missions may stay closed for longer than a day.

Sunday is a business day in Muslim countries, and the diplomatic offices affected stretch from Mauritania in

northwest Africa to Afghanistan.

“I don’t know if I can say there was a specific threat,” said Rep. Eliot Engel of New York, the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s top Democrat, who was briefed on the State Department’s decision. “There is concern over the potentiality of violence.”

Although the warning coincided with “Al-Quds Day,” the last Friday of the Islamic month of Ramadan when people in Iran and some Arab countries express their solidarity with the Palestinians and their opposition to Israel, U.S. officials played down any connection.

They said the threat wasn’t directed toward a specific American diplomatic facility.

FDA links stomach bug to Mexico WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration says an outbreak of stomach illnesses in Iowa and Nebraska is linked to salad mix served at local Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants and supplied by a Mexican farm.

The outbreak of cyclospora infections has sickened more than 400 people in 16 states in all. The agency says it is still working to determine whether the salad mix is the source of illnesses in the other 14 states.

“It is not yet clear whether the cases reported from other states are all part of the same outbreak,” the agency said in a statement. “The investigation of increased cases of cyclosporiasis in other states continues.”

groups, in connection with Monday’s one-year anniversary of the killing of six Sikh worshippers in Oak Creek, Wis. Attorney General Eric Holder made the announcement Friday in a blog post, which The Associated Press obtained ahead of its official release. Holder said FBI Director Robert Mueller had approved a recommendation from the agency’s advisory policy board to track hate crimes against Sikhs, Hindus, Arabs, Buddhists, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Orthodox Christians.

“Having accurate information allows law enforce-

ment leaders and policymakers to make informed decisions about the allocation of resources and priorities — decisions that impact real people, and affect public safety in every neighborhood and community,” Holder wrote in the blog post.

“Today, I am proud to report that we have taken steps to collect this information.”

The addition had long been sought by members of the Sikh community.

Holder also announced a $500,000 grant for mental health and trauma services to those affected by the Oak Creek shooting, including survivors and family members.

A year ago Monday, Wade Michael Page, who had ties to white supremacist groups, walked into the Milwaukeearea Sikh Temple of Wisconsin and opened fire. He killed six priests and worshippers and wounded five others, and then fatally shot himself after he was wounded in the parking lot by a police sniper.

Holder on Friday called the attack a “heinous act of hatred and terror.”

Pardeep Kaleka, son of former temple president Satwant Singh Kaleka, who died in the massacre, said he appreciated anything that can draw attention to people being victimized for things like their race, religion or gender.

“Progress is sort of a climb, and it takes a step at a time. This is one of those steps toward progress,” he said.

World Lawyer: Snowden has a place to live MOSCOW (AP) — National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden has a place to live in Russia after being granted temporary asylum, but he still hasn’t decided what he wants to do next, his lawyer said Friday.

The big question may be how much choice he actually has.

Russia granted a year of asylum to Snowden on Thursday, allowing him to quietly slip out of the Moscow airport where he had been holed up for almost six weeks as he evades charges of espionage in the United States. Authorities have suggested he will have wide freedom to work, but Kremlin watchers believe his moves are likely being closely controlled by Russian intelligence.

Snowden “is in a safe place,” but the location will remain secret out of concern for his security, his lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, told Russian news agencies. The systems analyst who revealed himself as the source of reports in the Guardian newspaper of a vast U.S. Internet surveillance pro-

gram needs time after his ordeal in airport limbo to figure out his next steps.

He was seen only once in his weeks in the transit zone of the Sheremetyevo airport.

Despite troops of photographers and reporters camped out inside and outside the airport, no one apparently saw him leaving, except for someone who snapped a photo of Kucherena talking to blurry figures who the attorney later said were Snowden and Sarah Harrison, a WikiLeaks staffer who has been advising him.

Kucherena said he expects Snowden to speak to journalists soon. “As soon as he decides what he will do, I hope he will announce it himself,” the ITAR-Tass news agency quoted the lawyer as saying.

The move to grant Snowden asylum infuriated the Obama administration, which said it was “extremely disappointed” and warned that the decision could derail an upcoming summit between President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Kitzhaber to visit wildfire areas

Oregon weather Today's Forecast

Aug. 3 Saturday, City/Region

High temperatures | Low temps Underground Weather forecast for daytime conditions, low/high Aug. 3 Forecast for Saturday,

PORTLAND (AP) — Gov. John Kitzhaber will visit southwest Oregon to get a firsthand look at the wildfires that have threatened homes and made the air unhealthy to breathe.

He’ll be joined this morning by U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley. The trip comes after the death of a firefighter who was hit by a

falling treetop Thursday while removing fuels near a small wildfire in Central Oregon.

The governor is likely to find an improving situation on the five major wildfires in the southwest part of the state.

Cooler temperatures and higher humidity Thursday slowed the blazes that have charred about 40,000 acres

of forestland. Nearly 4,500 firefighters are on the scene and more are on the way as the relatively mild U.S. fire season has freed firefighters and equipment to come to the Pacific Northwest.

The politicians plan to visit Glendale, close to where the lightning-sparked Douglas Complex of wildfires ignited last week. Those

blazes have burned more than 28,000 acres, or 44 square miles. Residents from 105 houses got evacuation notices last week, but the improving situation allowed 45 to return late Thursday.

Smoke from those wildfires has worsened air quality to unhealthy-to-hazardous levels across southwest Oregon.

GARDENING Contrast makes life fascinating Continued from Page A1 ago their total rainfall for the year was 64/100ths of an inch. The year they arrived in Oregon they saw 64 inches of rain for the year.

“Everything in Oregon grows twice as big and twice as fast as it is supposed to,” Betsie said.

“We quickly found out the coast was unique,” Betsie said. “Because of the cool temperatures we were able to grow some things that we had never been able to be successful with before. I couldn’t believe when we brought the legendary Blue Poppy of the Himalayas into bloom. That’s what makes it fascinating with these garden tours. When you go from place to place and see how people have brought out their potential. That’s what makes life fascinating and interesting: contrast.”

It can certainly be said that the K inney’s have brought out their own potential, both in gardening and in life. Their recent award, both say, was the culmination of a lifetime of planting, learning and then sharing with others. Herb also describes it as a shared award, “98 percent to my wife and 2 percent to me.”

Betsie, though, says that may be a little too lopsided.

“It’s wonderful to me,” she said, “He does the hard work, shifting the rocks, digging the holes, while I have the fun part of it. We wouldn’t be able to do it unless we worked as a team.”

Both say there is something about gardening that can help add great benefits to a persons life, perhaps even prolonging it.

“There is something so wonderful about being close to nature and I think you have to work harder at it than ever in today’s world,” Betsie said. “There is something about the silence in a forest, the wildlife, the native plants in different places across the

Garden Tour today The Coos Bay Garden Club's annual Town and Country Garden Tour will be going on around Coos Bay and North Bend on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tickets are $10 and proceeds go toward a Marshfield High Schools Scholarship. They can be purchased in Coos Bay at Farr's True Value, Coos Grange Supply, Garden Elements, and 3B’s Nursery, in North Bend from Bev's Flowers, and from Hwy 101 Plants, Bandon.

Club President Cheryl Rae Drumheller says this is just one of many community projects that the 40 members rally around each year. Pennies for Pines is another one, where garden club members’ donations go toward a National Garden Clubs Inc. project. For every $68 donated to the project an acre of pines is planted, with two acres planted over the last year.

To find out more, or to get involved, Drumheller suggests checking out one of their monthly meetings.

They meet on the first Wednesday at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Coos Bay at 1 p.m., though they suggest arriving a little earlier. Recent topics have included things like how to grow native plants, how to identify mushroom species and their importance to our health, coastal gardening, and how to make hanging baskets.

country. And there is a great spiritual quality about it also. I found out if I have anything worrying me at the moment, I go out and dig and dig and dig and it vanishes.

It’s just wonderful. I can’t imagine living without digging and planting.”

You can also expect this dynamic gardening duo to keep on growing. There are always new challenges to

tackle, and a wish list for a variety of plants they want to grow that never goes blank.

“I’m 91 — she’s 90,” Herb added. “Gardening is what gets you there.”

“Yes, it’s definitely contributed to harmony and goodwill,” said Betsie, before adding with a twinkle and a laugh, “and to 68 years of being together.”

All-Stars reach semifinals THE WORLD

The Associated Press

Former Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden reacts after falling to the floor in the first half of a Dec. 5, 2009, basketball game against the Houston Rockets in Portland.

Oden tries to revive career in Miami MIAMI (AP) — Greg Oden still needs some time to get ready for the rigors of playing in the NBA. He no longer needs a new team, however.

The former No. 1 overall draft pick has chosen to sign with the two-time defending NBA champion Miami Heat, ending months of suspense over where the center whose career has been decimated by a series of knee problems would be attempting his comeback. The Heat were long perceived as the frontrunners to land Oden, and now have a 7-footer to help them try for a third straight title.

Mike Conley Sr., one of Oden’s agents, said Friday night that the former Portland center accepted an offer worth about $1 million for this coming season and would

have a player option for 2014-15.

“He just thought that it was the best fit for him, where he’s at and especially for how it relates to him coming back,” Conley said. “He can be on a winning team and be working his way in slowly.”

The contract is expected to be formally signed early next week, Conley said.

“I think a 7-footer can help any team,” Heat point guard Mario Chalmers said. “They’re hard to find. I’ve known Greg since our high school days, talked to him a couple of times about this and you just hope for the best.”

Oden told ESPN.com on Friday that he still has “a lot of work to do.”

And during their recruiting process, the Heat were obviously cognizant of that. Oden has not

played in the NBA since fracturing his kneecap in a game on Dec. 5, 2009, but the Heat surely will not expect him to play big minutes right away, given that they are bringing back most of the rotation that won the last two league titles and will almost certainly be favored to win a third next season.

When meeting with Oden last month in Indianapolis, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra laid out what Miami’s plans would be as far as potential roles and the former Ohio State star’s ongoing rehabilitation, and whatever got said in that conversation resonated throughout the remainder of the decision-making process.

“The fact that Coach Spoelstra said all the right things, understood where he was at and what he

wants, that impressed Greg quite a bit,” Conley said.

Oden is the second No. 1 pick on the Heat roster, joining LeBron James, the top overall draft selection in 2003 — and someone who developed quite an affinity for Oden’s game when the center was at Ohio State. Oden wound up leaving college after one season, then was taken by Portland at the top of the 2007 draft.

It was a spectacular failure, thanks to an array of injuries. Oden played in just 82 games — the equivalent of one full NBA season — during his four-plus years in the Blazers’ organization, averaging 9.4 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks on 58 percent shooting.

Iconic group set to join NFL Hall of Fame CANTON, Ohio (AP) — While his six other classmates for this weekend’s enshrinement sported blue golf shirts given them by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Cris Carter was dressed in suit and tie.

He might never take them off.

“Man, I am in the Hall of Fame. I am wearing a suit every day,” Carter said Friday as the 50th anniversary festivities for the hall began.

Carter will join Jonathan Ogden, Larry Allen, Bill Parcells, Warren Sapp, Dave Robinson and Curley Culp as the newest inductees on Saturday night.

He was, by far, the most emotional during a news conference Friday as festivities began for the 50th anniversary celebration of the hall.

The only member of the Class of 2013 who didn’t win an NFL title, Carter used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears when asked about his career and the fact it took six tries to get elected.

“Minnesota fans didn’t judge me when a lot of bad things were being said about me,” Carter said, frequently pausing to regain his composure.

“They always cheered for Cris. The

only thing I really wish is we could’ve won that championship for those people. What they did for my life, every day I went out there, I played for those people.”

Carter was exiled from Philadelphia in 1989 after off-field problems, including drug and alcohol issues. The first one to call him and offer a job was Parcells.

Carter ever told his agent he wanted to go to the Giants, but he wound up with the Vikings, who had a stronger need for a wide receiver. All Carter did the rest of his 16-season career was wind up second at his retirement in 2002 behind Jerry Rice for all-time receptions and touchdowns. He’s fourth in those categories now.

As he mentioned, though, he doesn’t have that championship. For the other six, those Super Bowl rings will have a blinding shine to them tonight.

Parcells was a winner of two NFL titles as a coach and master of the franchise turnaround. Ogden, one of the premier offensive tackles of his time, grabbed a Super Bowl ring in 2000.

Bulldogs, Pirates and Braves host volleyball camps THE WORLD With the fall sports season quickly approaching, three South Coast schools will hold volleyball camps next week.

Marshfield hosts the annual Sports Performance Volleyball Camp, led by a group out of Chicago from Monday through Friday.

The camp for Marshfield High School volleyball players runs from 9 a.m.-noon and 13:30 p.m. each day. The cost is $190 for the week.

Meanwhile, Sports Performance also will hold a camp for any South Coast students in grades 5 through 8 from 3:30-6 p.m. each day.

Cost for that camp is $80.

Both camps will be held on the Marshfield campus.

For more information, contact Marshfield coach Tammie Montiel either by phone at 541404-6401 or email at tammiem@coosbay.k12.or.us.

For more information, call North Bend coach Les Willett at 541-756-0189.

Reedsport Reedsport will hold two camps next week, both starting Monday.

The school’s high school camp will go from 5 to 7 p.m. each day and is for players who will be on the high school teams this fall. There is no cost for the players.

Meanwhile, the youth camp for students in grades 3 through 8 will be held from 10 a.m. to noon each day. The cost is $30 and includes a camp T-shirt.

For more information on either camp, call James Hixenbaugh at 541-271-3414.

North Bend North Bend will hold its annual skills camp for any students from fifth grade through high school next week, starting Tuesday.

The camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Tuesday through Friday and will give players intense instructions on various volleyball skills. The instructors are veteran coaches from outside the area.

CENTRALIA, Wash. — The South Coast All-Stars will play for a spot in the championship game at the Pacific Northwest Babe Ruth 13-15 Regional Tournament today, despite suffering their first loss in the event Friday.

South Coast fell 8-6 to Grays Harbor on Friday night, which left the local squad as the No. 2 seed out of its pool.

South Coast plays tournament host Twin Cities in the second semifinal today. The two winners today face off at 5 p.m. Sunday for a spot in the Babe Ruth World Series in Virginia.

On Thursday, South Coast edged Kennewick, Wash., 3-2 to improved to 3-0 and guarantee a spot in the semifinals. That gave manager Rob Laskey the luxury of saving some of his pitching for today’s round.

“Our goal was to save a couple arms back for the championship type play,” Laskey said after Friday night’s loss.

Cory Chattelle, who pitched the opener, will start today’s game, with Andrew Sharp and Garrett McCoy available if necessary.

In Friday’s loss, Ricky Jones, Austin Soria, McCoy and Tyler Laskey all took turns on the mound.

South Coast trailed 8-5 entering the final inning and loaded the bases, pushing across one run on a walk before the final two batters struck out.

“They came through with their pitching in the end,” Rob Laskey said. “We knocked one pitcher off the mound and they brought in his twin brother.”

Both twins stand 6-foot-5, Laskey said.

Tyler Laskey drove in two runs in the loss and McCoy also had an RBI. “We had a couple minor injuries where we had to play people out of position a little bit,” Rob Laskey said. “That hurt us a little bit, but the kids did real well stepping up. That’s what we’re proud of. They showed a lot of character.”

South Coast should be at full strength today, he said.

Friday was the first time in the tournament South Coast failed to come through in the seventh inning.

Against Kennewick, Marshall Rice scored the winning run in the seventh, when he walked, stole second base, moved to third on a single by Jones and scored on a wild pitch with two outs.

South Coast got another stellar pitching performance, this one from Sharp, who combined with J.J. Hubbard to limit Kennewick to three hits.

Sharp pitched into the seventh inning before Hubbard got two outs for his second straight save.

South Coast also played an error-free game, finding a way to win despite getting only four hits.

One of those came in the first, when Sharp beat out a grounder for an infield single, stole second and third and scored on a passed ball.

South Coast’s other run came in the fourth, when Hubbard doubled and later came home on a grounder by Colton Olson that Kennewick misplayed for the only error of the game.

Sharp had four strikeouts and Hubbard added one. Kennewick’s Gerald Hein was nearly as effective, also pitching into the seventh.

“It was quite a pitching duel,” said Rob Laskey.

Davis hits 40th HR in victory

Johnson grabs pole in Pocono THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONG POND, Pa. — There was no bumping Jimmie Johnson this week.

Johnson set a track record with a lap of 180.654 mph to win the pole Friday at Pocono Raceway. Johnson seemed poised to win the pole last week at Indianapolis until Ryan Newman topped him on the last qualifying attempt of the day.

Johnson would not be denied at Pocono. He’s now in position to go for the season sweep at Pocono, where he won from the pole in June.

Kyle Busch was third and Carl Edwards third. Newman, last week’s race winner at the Brickyard, starts fourth. Kurt Busch is fifth.

Johnson has four wins this season and leads the points standings as he chases his sixth championship.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 40th home run and Nate McLouth contributed his first career grand slam to a power display that carried the Baltimore Orioles past the Seattle Mariners 11-8 Friday night.

Ryan Flaherty also homered and had a career-high three hits for the Orioles, who never trailed but had to withstand four homers by Seattle.

McLouth connected off Brandon Maurer to make it 11-6 in the sixth, and that was enough offense to fend off the Mariners, who closed the gap in the eighth with solo shots from Kendrys Morales and Michael Morse.

Jim Johnson worked the ninth to earn his 38th save and secure the win for Chris Tillman (14-3).

Davis drove a pitch from Aaron Harang (5-10) over the right-field wall and onto Eutaw Street to give Baltimore a 5-3 lead in the third inning. The solo homer traveled an estimated 442 feet and gave Davis a major-league high 101 RBIs. He is the fifth Oriole to hit 40 homers in a season, joining Brady Anderson (50), Frank Robinson (49), Jim Gentile (46) and Rafael Palmeiro (43).

Tigers 2, White Sox 1: Doug Fister (10-5) pitched eight impressive innings, Austin Jackson homered and Jose Iglesias drove in a run in his Detroit debut to lead the Tigers over Chicago.

The White Sox lost their eighth straight, while AL Central-leading Detroit has won 10 of 11.

Twins 4, Astros 3, 13 innings: Brian Dozier’s third hit of the game scored Clete Thomas in the 13th inning to lift Minnesota to a win over Houston.

Right-handed pitcher Kevin Correia pinch-hit in the 13th to sacrifice Thomas to second base. Dozier followed by punching a single to right field to snap Minnesota’s four-game losing streak.

Rangers 8, Athletics 3: Nelson Cruz shook off talk of a pending suspension to hit a tying two-run homer, Jurickson Profar added another tworun shot and the surging Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics for their fifth straight win.

The Rangers, who were six games behind Oakland in the AL West earlier this week, are only 2 1⁄2 games back.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Dodgers 6, Cubs 2: Mark Ellis extended his hitting streak to 13 games before both he and manager Don Mattingly were ejected, and the Los Angeles Dodgers matched an 89-yearold club record with their 12th straight road victory, beating the Chicago Cubs.

Ellis doubled and scored in the third before being tossed when he and Mattingly argued a called third strike in the fourth, but the Dodgers still improved to 12-2 since the All-Star break.

Points leader Dillon aims for first win of season

The Associated Press

Baltimore’s Chris Davis follows through on a solo home run against the Seattle Mariners in the third inning Friday.

The NL West leaders remained unbeaten on the road since a loss at San Francisco on July 6 and matched the 1924 Brooklyn Robins for the longest streak in franchise history.

Rockies 4, Pirates 2: Jhoulys Chacin (10-5) allowed one run on six hits over eight innings and Colorado snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over Pittsburgh.

Cardinals 13, Reds 3: David Freese set the tone with a bases-loaded double in the first inning, and Daniel Descalso hit two of St. Louis’ three homers in a win over Cincinnati.

The Cardinals have emerged from a deep hitting slump by scoring 13 runs in each of their past two games. It’s the first time this season they’ve had doubledigit run totals in consecutive games.

Braves 6, Phillies 4: Brian McCann and Chris Johnson hit consecutive homers in a five-run fifth inning to lead Atlanta over Philadelphia for its eighth straight win.

Nationals 4, Brewers 1: Jordan Zimmermann earned his career-high 13th win and Bryce Harper homered to lead Washington to a win over Milwaukee.

INTERLEAGUE Giants 4, Rays 1: Madison Bumgarner struck out 11 in seven innings, Brandon Crawford hit a two-run homer and San Francisco beat Tampa Bay. Diamondbacks 7, Red Sox 6: Cody

Ross capped his four-hit return to Fenway Park with a tie-breaking homer that gave Arizona a win over Boston.

Ross, Boston’s regular right fielder last season, drove in three runs, doubled twice and singled once. His big hit came with the score tied at 6 when he led off the seventh inning against Pedro Beato (1-1) with his seventh homer of the year.

Marlins 10, Indians 0: Jose Fernandez Fernandez (8-5) pitched eight innings and struck out 14, the most by an NL pitcher this season, to help Miami snap Cleveland’s eightgame win streak.

Miami’s All-Star became the first major league pitcher to strike out at least 13 in consecutive games since Randy Johnson in 2004. He’s the first rookie to do so since Kerry Wood in 1998.

Padres 7, Yankees 2: Everth Cabrera, facing a 50-game suspension, tied his career high with four hits and Logan Forsythe hit one of San Diego’s three solo homers in a win over CC Sabathia and New York.

Mets 4, Royals 2, 11 innings: Eric Young Jr. homered with two outs in the 11th inning and New York overcame a blown lead to end Kansas City’s winning streak at nine.

Young slammed a 3-1 pitch from Luis Mendoza (2-6) over the right-field fence for his first career game-ending hit and just his second home run of the season.

Lochte wins two more golds at worlds BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Wearing fluorescent orange sneakers, Ryan Lochte eased out of his seat and moved gingerly toward the exit of the Palau Sant Jordi.

It was the first time he was slow all night.

“My whole entire body is hurting,” Lochte moaned.

“There’s no other way to put it — I’m sore.”

No kidding.

On a night when Missy Franklin finally lost, Lochte turned in an epic performance at the world championships Friday. He swam three races in less than two hours, coming away with two gold medals and the top time in an event he’s competing in for the first time at a major international meet.

Certainly, this grueling triple was worthy of a “Jeah!”

— Lochte’s silly catchphrase that echoed through the arena every time he dove in the water.

“Unbelievable,” said no less an authority than Bob Bowman, Michael Phelps’ former coach. “An incredible night of swimming.”

No one could find any record of someone competing in three races in the same session at either the worlds

or the Olympics. Phelps, for all his accomplishments, never did it at one of the major international meets.

Bowman was asked where Lochte’s performance ranked in swimming history. He immediately thought of the night in this same arena, a decade ago, when Phelps broke world records in different events on the same night.

“It’s up there with stuff like that,” Bowman said.

Lochte won the 200meter backstroke, posted the fastest time in the semifinals of the 100 butterfly, and put the Americans ahead to stay with a strong leg in the 800 freestyle relay. Not bad for a guy who took a long break after the London Olympics and slacked off on his training while filming a reality television show, “What Would Ryan Lochte Do?” Lochte finished his big night in the relay, taking over with the Americans trailing both Russia and France after Conor Dwyer’s opening leg.

Lochte took care of that, turning in the second-fastest 200 (1:44.98) of anyone in the field. Only Sun Yang of China, one of the world’s greatest freestylers, went faster — and he hadn’t

already competed in two races.

“When you get together for a relay, you don’t care about the pain,” Lochte said.

Franklin also had a busy night, but the first race didn’t go as she hoped. The 18year-old American finished fourth in the 100 free behind gold medalist Cate Campbell of Australia, ending a run of four straight victories in Barcelona.

“I’m a little bummed,” Franklin said.

She quickly shook off the defeat, however, coming back about 25 minutes later to easily post the top qualifying time in the semifinals of the 200 back, her favorite event.

She’ll be a heavy favorite in that race tonight — she’s the Olympic champion and world-record holder — which leaves her still on course to at least match Tracy Caulkins of the U.S. and Libby Trickett of Australia as the only women to win five events at worlds.

Caulkins won her five at the 1978 meet in Berlin, while Trickett did it in her home championships at Melbourne in 2007.

Franklin will have one more event after the back-

ODEN

long-awaited NBA debut on Oct. 28, 2008, and sprained his right foot in that game, sidelining him for two weeks.

His next major injury issue came in February of that season, when he chipped his left kneecap and missed about a month. Oden returned for the final 21 games of that season — 15 before the playoffs, then six more in the postseason,

when Portland was ousted by the Rockets.

He’s played in a total of 21 games since, and the fractured kneecap in 2009 came just as he seemed to be hitting his best NBA stride.

Another microfracture surgery awaited him in November 2010, and a third one was needed early in 2012, essentially ending his career with the Blazers. He was

From Page B1 Oden’s health issues have dogged him since he was drafted.

Right knee microfracture surgery — a procedure used to develop new, healthy cartilage — ended what would have been his rookie season before it ever started. He made his

stroke — Sunday’s 400 medley relay — so she’s got a shot at joining Phelps and Mark Spitz as the only swimmers to win as many as six golds at either the worlds or Olympics.

In the relay, Lochte joined with Dwyer, Charlie Houchin and Ricky Berens to give the Americans their fifth straight world title in the 4x200 free.

Berens touched in 7:01.72, while Russia took the silver and China — with Sun swimming 1:43.16 on the anchor leg — rallied for the bronze.

In the women’s 100 free, Campbell pushed the pace from right the start, making the flip more than a half-second under world-record pace.

That gave her a big enough lead to hold on for a time of 52.34, a half-body length in front of silver medalist Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden.

Ranomi Kromowidjojo of the Netherlands edged Franklin for the bronze by 0.05.

“I don’t think it really sunk in until I got out of the pool and I heard all the Aussies in the crowd chanting,” Campbell said. “In the water I was just like, ‘Why are all these people hugging me?

What’s going on?”’

NEWTON, Iowa — Austin Dillon knows the Nationwide race in Iowa tonight might be his best shot yet at a victory.

But it’s not necessarily because Dillon is running so well.

It’s mostly because Kyle Busch is staying at Pocono Raceway.

Dillon, who took over the Nationwide points lead last week despite going winless through 19 starts, headlines a field almost exclusively made up of Nationwide regulars.

Brad Keselowski, who won the inaugural Nationwide race in Iowa four years ago, will be the lone Sprint Cup driver in the field as NASCAR’s top series runs Sunday in Pennsylvania.

BASEBALL A-Rod homers as big suspension looms NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez was back with the Trenton Thunder on Friday and hit what might be his last home run in a while.

With a lengthy suspension looming, the New York Yankees star hit a two-run homer to left in the third inning of a 6-2 win over the Reading Fightin Phils.

Rodriguez is among 14 players facing discipline in Major League Baseball’s Biogenesis investigation, and suspensions are expected on Monday — with Rodriguez facing the longest penalty.

“I am mentally prepared to play for five more years,” he said, later adding, “It’s not time for me to hang it up. I have a lot more fight in me.”

Coming back from hip surgery and a quadriceps injury, A-Rod hopes to rejoin the Yankees for Monday’s series opener at the Chicago White Sox, what would be his first time back in the major leagues since last October.

“I think it’s possible,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said in San Diego.

Rodriguez is counting on it.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL NCAA announces plan to change seeding process

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA announced changes to the way it will select teams for the men’s basketball tournament, adding flexibility in hopes of keeping teams properly seeded.

Previously, conference teams couldn’t meet until the regional final — unless a conference had nine teams in the field.

The changes will not affect which teams get into the tourney. But they will allow conference teams that have played only once during the season — including league tournaments — to meet as early as the third round.

Teams that have played twice waived in March 2012. will not face one another until “Time will tell,” Heat the regional semifinals and president Pat Riley said earli- teams that have played three er this summer, when asked if times cannot meet until the Oden could still be effective. regional championship.

pended without pay for the first eight games of the regular season for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Jackson received a fourgame suspension as a rookie last season for the same reason. This suspension is for eight games because it’s his second violation.

Drafted in the fifth round out of Cal Poly, Jackson played in only two games last season for the Super Bowl champions.

Jackson will be eligible to return to the active roster Nov. 4 after the team’s game against Cleveland on Nov. 3.

He is eligible to participate in all preseason practices and games.

‘Whizzer’ White dies on way to Phoenix hospital PHOENIX — Wilford “Whizzer” White, the father of former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Danny White and a member of the Arizona State hall of fame, has died at the age of 84.

The former Sun Devils running back died Thursday after falling unconscious while awaiting a doctor’s appointment, White’s daughter-in-law, Michelle White, said Friday.

White passed away while on an ambulance headed to a Phoenix-area hospital, possibly of a heart attack, but family members are still awaiting tests.

White was an ASU running back from 1947 to 1950 and finished his career as the school’s all-time leading rusher with 3,173 yards, one of only four players in school history to rush for more than 3,000 yards. He now ranks fourth among the school’s all-time leading rushers.

“Whizzer embodied all of the attributes of the Sun Devil Way that we teach our players,” head football coach Todd Graham said in a statement. “The mark he left on this program will always echo through Sun Devil Stadium.”

White led the Sun Devils to nine wins for the first time in the school’s history, and his 1,502 yards rushing in 1950 remain the secondhighest mark in a single season at ASU. White’s 48 career touchdowns are the second most in school history. He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1951.

Hawaii fires coordinator on eve of first practice HONOLULU — Hawaii coach Norm Chow says offensive coordinator Aaron Price has been dismissed from the football program.

Chow announced the decision Friday at the start of fall practice, but did not give details or a reason for Price’s departure.

Chow says the decision was difficult, with unfortunate timing at the start of fall camp. Chow says “some issues have arisen” and the team is choosing to move forward without Price.

Price had been with the Rainbow Warriors since February. He served as offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach.

Team officials say Chow likely won’t fill the position this year. Chow will oversee the positions and two graduate assistants will expand their roles with the quarterbacks and wide receivers.

Montreal fires former Colorado, Boise coach MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes fired coach Dan Hawkins on Thursday, ending the former Boise State and Colorado coach’s run with the CFL team after only five games.

General manager Jim Popp is taking over as coach.

The Alouettes are 2-3.

“I won’t get into specifics, but there are some issues that we felt should be moving along quicker than they are,” Popp said. “We feel it’s going very slow. We’re a veteran team. We’re looking for results now. Hopefully, we can get ourselves back to the Alouette way.”

Hawkins was hired Feb. 19 to replace Marc Trestman, who left to coach the NFL’s Chicago Bears. In five seasons, Trestman took the Alouettes to three Grey Cup games, winning twice.

Tiger flirts with 59

From Page B1

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AKRON, Ohio — Tiger Woods had a shot at making history with a magical 59.

He swore he wasn’t disappointed to come up short.

“Disappointed?

Absolutely not,” he said.

Then he cracked, “A 61’s pretty good. I’m not bummed.”

Woods could console himself by tying his career best and building a sevenshot lead Friday through 36 holes at the Bridgestone Invitational.

Pursuing his eighth victory at Firestone Country Club, Woods opened birdie-eagle — stuffing an approach to 3 feet at the first hole and holing a 20-footer for 3 at the par-5 second. He had two more birdies on the front nine, and had four in a row to start the back nine in a light rain.

Needing to go only 2 under over his last five holes, he missed birdie putts inside 10 feet at 15 and 17. He saved par on the last with a 25-footer after an errant drive and a shot that hit into the trees and ended up in a bare spot short and right of the green.

The 61 — matching his career best at the 1999 Byron Nelson, 2005 Buick Open and on the same Firestone course back in 2000 — left him at 13-under 127.

Defending champion Keegan Bradley and Chris Wood, playing the tournament for the first time, were

Romero birdied his last four holes to take the secondround lead in the Reno-Tahoe Open with 22 points in the modified Stableford scoring format on the edge of the Sierra.

The Argentine player who finished third last year had nine birdies, a bogey and a double bogey on Friday for a one-point lead over Gary Woodland.

The scoring system awards eight points for double eagle, five points for eagle, two for birdie, zero for par, minus-one for bogey and minus-three for double bogey or worse.

Woodland had a chance to take the lead on his last hole when his 90-yard approach glanced off the pin, but missed a 5-foot birdie attempt.

Stuart Appleby, Rod Pampling and former University of Nevada player Charlie Wi were three points back at 19. David Toms had 17.

Larry Allen, a 1995 champion with Dallas, was the rare equal of Ogden on the offensive line in their era.

Sapp, an outstanding defensive tackle with a personality as big as any football stadium, won the 2002 championship in Tampa Bay. Robinson, a major cog in Green Bay’s championship machine under Vince Lombardi, won the first two Super Bowls. Culp, one of the original pass-rushing demons at defensive tackle, got his ring with the 1969 Chiefs.

Quite a group, and a record 121 hall members are expected to attend the ceremonies.

“It’s somewhat overwhelming,” said Ogden, the Baltimore Ravens’ first-ever draft choice and the first team member elected to the hall.

“You look around and there’s Joe Greene and Joe Namath — heck, they are all there, you can’t stop naming names.”

Ogden, Allen and Sapp have the distinction of making the hall in their first year of eligibility. It’s all the more impressive considering all three were linemen.

Allen became the anchor of the Cowboys’ blocking unit for a dozen seasons, then finished his career with two years in San Francisco. He made six All-Pro teams and 11 Pro Bowls, playing guard and tackle.

“It’s great, great company to be in,” said Allen, who Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones believes “would have been a Hall of Famer at guard or tackle, and either side. He was special like that.”

Adds Curtis Martin, the Jets and Patriots running back who was inducted last

year: “If there were two guys I would have wanted to run behind, it would be Larry and Jonathan.”

Sapp, whose induction speech might be the most anticipated because he’s liable to say anything, was a cornerstone of Tampa Bay’s powerful defense that was the key to winning the Buccaneers’ only title after decades of futility.

“We took a place where they said careers came to die to a place that’s become a destination,” Sapp said, noting the Tampa 2 scheme is now played by defenses everywhere.

As for his speech, Sapp said he has “been trying to imagine how everything will feel and still haven’t gotten it. My anticipation is nowhere near complete.”

Like Sapp in Tampa, Parcells also was heavily involved in making popular — and successful — a specific alignment. The 3-4 defense came to life under Parcells with the New York Giants, and he led them to the 1986 and 1990 championships.

Parcells, who also took the Patriots, Jets and Cowboys from the bottom to near the top of the NFL as head coach, says it was his duty to provide a prosperous environment.

“You give the players a chance to succeed to the best of their ability,” he said.

“That’s your job as a coach, your responsibility.”

Parcells mentioned his coaching tree, which includes the likes of Tom Coughlin, Bill Belichick and Sean Payton — all Super Bowl-winning coaches planning to be on hand Saturday — as among his proudest achievements. He promised to bring that up during his induction speech.

Robinson and Culp were voted in as senior members.

Unions get creative to halt decline in membership

BY SAM HANANEL

SBA can assist small businesses

Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — With union membership on the decline, labor leaders are getting more creative — and some say more desperate — to boost sagging numbers and rebuild their waning clout.

Unions are helping nonunion fast food workers around the country hold strikes to protest low wages and poor working conditions. They are trying to organize home day care workers, university graduate students and even newly legalized marijuana dealers.

Members of a “shadow union” at Wal-Mart hold regular protests at the giant retailer, which long has been resistant to organizing.

Labor leaders say unions must create new models and new ways to represent workers to reverse a steady slide in the union ranks. Those efforts have taken on greater urgency since the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported earlier this year that union membership had declined to just 11.3 percent of the workforce — its lowest point in nearly a century.

“To be blunt, our basic system of workplace representation is failing to meet the needs of America’s workers by every critical measure,” AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said in a recent speech.

The most high-profile tactic has seen hundreds of low-wage workers at McDonald’s, Burger King and other fast food chains walk off their jobs this week in a series of one-day strikes to demand better pay and the right to unionize. Workers are demanding wages of $15 an hour, more than double the current federal minimum wage of $7.25.

The actions in New York, Chicago, Detroit and other cities are being coordinated by local worker centers, nonprofit organizations made up of unions, clergy and other advocacy groups. While not technically labor groups, they receive generous financial support and training staff from the Service Employees International Union and other unions.

“Our primary goal is to help workers boost wages,” SEIU President Mary Kay Henry said. “We think a key part of that is helping workers form organizations where they can directly bargain for wages with their employers.”

Labor strategists say the fast food campaign has longterm potential for unions. If unions can’t organize

The Associated Press

In this July 29 file photo, demonstrators in support of fast food workers march towards a McDonald's as they demand higher wages and the right to form a union without retaliation in New York's Union Square. Labor leaders are getting more creative _ and some say more desperate _ in trying to boost their sagging numbers. Unions are helping non-union fast food workers around the country hold strikes to protest low wages and poor working conditions.They are organizing home day care workers, university graduate students and even newly legalized marijuana dealers.

through traditional methods, they see the smaller mobilizations through worker centers as a way to show low-wage workers how coordinated action can win some concessions from employers. That might make workers in the rapidly growing fast food industry more sympathetic to the idea of joining a union later on.

“The fast food and WalMart strikes are exciting examples of workers reinventing the strike, going on offense and challenging inequality,” said Stephen Lerner, a labor and community organizer and architect of the Justice for Janitors campaign in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

But the tactic has raised the concern of business groups, which say these organizations are merely

“union fronts” designed to operate outside labor laws so they don’t have to follow restrictions on secondary picketing, boycotts or file reports with the Labor Department. House Republicans wrote a letter to the Labor Department last week asking officials whether the groups need to abide by labor laws.

“An advantage of these groups is they allow unions to gain entry into a block of workers without them realizing this is just a front for a traditional union,” said Glenn Spencer, vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Workforce Freedom Initiative.

The number of worker centers has grown from five in the 1990s to more than 200 today, including the Restaurant Opportunity

Center, National Day Laborers Organizing Network and the National Domestic Workers Alliance. The AFLCIO and member unions are trying to leverage alliances with those groups, as well as progressive groups that have similar goals. At the AFLCIO’s upcoming convention in Los Angeles next month, the federation is expected to announce stronger partnerships with the NAACP, Hispanic advocacy groups and the Sierra Club.

“The worker centers are obviously springing up to address an unmet need in geographic areas or in particular industries,” said Craig Becker, general counsel at the AFL-CIO. The AFL-CIO is also seeking to expand its Working America affiliate, which has more than 3 million members sympathetic to unions but who don’t work under collective bargaining agreements and pay only token dues or nothing at all.

As businesses have become more aggressive and successful at battling union organizers, unions are also increasingly targeting nontraditional workers for membership. In Minnesota, lawmakers this year authorized unions to try organizing some 12,700 home day care providers whose care of children is subsidized by the state. Similar measures affect home care workers in Vermont and Rhode Island.

Unions claim collective

bargaining will help home day care workers earn better wages and benefits for health care and retirement. But critics say the added costs will be borne by parents who can’t afford it.

Unions also hope to target thousands of graduate students at private universities.

Labor advocates are urging the National Labor Relations Board to overturn a 2004 decision that said graduate assistants are more like students than employees under federal labor laws.

The NLRB indicated last year that it would reconsider the question, and with the board’s newly confirmed Democratic majority this week, unions may have a chance. Some universities are wary, though. Peter Weber, graduate school dean at Brown University, told lawmakers at a House hearing last year that unionizing grad students would “damage the fabric of graduate education.”

One surprising area where unions have had success recently is organizing marijuana dealers in states that have legalized the drug for recreational or medical use.

The United Food and Commercial Workers Union, the nation’s largest union for retail workers, helped support ballot measures to legalize marijuana in Colorado and Washington last year and now counts about 3,000 members in the industry.

Pot farm pollution: Too dangerous to deal with?

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) — With parts of Northern California’s scenic hillsides illegally gouged by bulldozers for marijuana grows, frustrated local officials asked the state for help to protect streams and rivers from harmful sediment and the chemicals used on the pot plants.

They hoped to charge growers under federal and state clean water regulations with tougher penalties than the infractions local officials could impose. But they were rebuffed.

It’s too dangerous, the state agency in charge of protecting the region’s water said in a letter to county supervisors.

“We simply cannot, in good conscience, put staff in harm’s way,” wrote Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board Executive Director Paula Creedon.

As in many rural counties in California, marijuana farms are becoming more and more plentiful. They proliferate in the high Sierra, where armed Mexican cartel operatives clear wilderness areas, divert creeks and poi-

Q: I keep hearing the SBA can help my business. What do they do and how do I access the resources?

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) www.sba.gov was officially established in 1953 to DOWN TO assist small businesses in the United States to be more competitive. In the Small Business Act of July 30, ARLENE 1953, Congress creatSOTO ed the Small Business Administration, whose function was to “aid, counsel, assist and protect, insofar as is possible, the interests of small business concerns.” The charter also stipulated that SBA would ensure small businesses a “fair proportion” of government contracts and sales of surplus property. Current SBA programs include financial assistance (loan programs, surety bonds and export financing), counseling and training, government contracting, online resources and tools, disaster assistance, advocacy and civil rights compliance. A good starting place to learn more about all of the resources available through SBA is the National Resource G u i d e http://www.sba.gov/content/resource-guides.

The definition of what is considered a small business might surprise you. SBA defines a small business concern as one that is independently owned and operated, is organized for profit, and is not dominant in its field. Depending on the industry, size standard eligibility is based on the average number of employees for the preceding twelve months or on sales volume averaged over a three-year period.

Examples of SBA general size standards include the following: ■ Manufacturing: maximum number of employees may range from 500 to 1,500, depending on the type of product manufactured.

■ Wholesaling: maximum number of employees may range from 100 to 500 depending on the particular product being provided. annual ■ Services: receipts may not exceed $2.5 million to $21.5 million, depending on the particular service being provided.

■ Retailing: annual receipts may not exceed $5.0 million to $21.0 million, depending on the particular product being provided.

■ General and heavy construction: general construction annual receipts may not exceed $13.5 million to $17 million, depending on the type of construction; ■ Special trade construction: annual receipts may not exceed $7 million.

■ Agriculture: annual receipts may not exceed $500,000 to $900,000 million, depending on the agricultural product.

SBA resources can be accessed through the website http://www.sba.gov, through commercial lenders, through the regional SBA office, through the local Small Business Development Center or SCORE office and through other SBA funded providers such as women’s business centers and procurement technical assistance centers.

The Associated Press

In this undated photo released by Butte County Department of Public Works, marijuana grading violations are seen on a hillside less than 1,000 feet from the west branch of the Feather River off of Jordan Hill Road in the Concow area in Butte County, Calif.With parts of Northern California’s scenic hillsides illegally gouged by bulldozers for marijuana growing, frustrated local officials asked the state for help to protect tributaries of the Sacramento River from runoff of sediment and the chemicals used on plants. son wildlife. Other smaller gardens are planted by people operating as collectives by pooling dozens of permits under the state’s medical marijuana laws, though many of those are traffickers

attempting to skirt the law.

State law allows a person with a medical permit to grow roughly a dozen plants.

Butte County Supervisor Chairman Bill Connelly — frustrated that even photos

of illegally scraped and terraced hillsides in sensitive watersheds didn’t convince the water quality board to act — accused the board of not applying the law equally.

“My concern is that legit-

imate business people get harassed (by the agency), but illegal people will not be harassed because they get a pass,” he said. “They go after the timber industry and farmers.”

Penalties can range from cease-and-desist citations to fines of $5,000 for each day of the violation to more than $1 million, said state water board spokeswoman Kathie Smith.

The issue of large-scale marijuana enforcement and the damage some pot farms cause is not new in a region known as the Emerald Triangle, for the marijuana that has been produced there for decades. Marijuana is the state’s biggest cash crop with an estimated $14 billion in legal and illegal sales annually.

California wildlife wardens and hikers in the state’s remote backcountry occasionally happen upon gunmen guarding multimilliondollar pot farms. It’s one of the reasons the California Department of Fish & Wildlife recently issued its wardens more powerful weapons.

It’s All in the Materials

BY ALYSSA KARAS CTW Features

Outdoor spaces can be just as comfortable and inviting as indoor spaces if you choose the right materials. Here’s how to select products that will weather the elements – and the pets, the people and the occasional ketchup stain that make up the joys of the outdoor experience.

Decking When it comes to outdoor decking, there are several material choices: wood, composite decking or PVC, a type of plastic.

Composite decking is a mixture of real wood and other ingredients, such as wood flour, rice hulls and glue. Because composite decking contains some wood material, it can be prone to the pitfalls of real wood, like stains and mildew.

Many manufacturers are switching to PVC from composite ingredients, says Steve Pozo, sales manager at Lakeside Lumber in Tualatin, Ore. While PVC can be a more expensive choice, people consider it money well spent.

“It seems that PVC on the outside is the best way to go,”

Pozo says. “It doesn’t stain, it doesn’t take on moisture.”

Wood-alternative decking company Trex offers a 50 percent plastic, 50 percent wood decking product, which it says will not rot, warp or splinter.

Recognizing that aesthetics matter as much as physical durability, the Winchester, Va.-based company also says its product is scratch-, stain-, fade- and mold-resistant, and several lines carry a 25-year warranty.

The allure of real wood, however, is still strong.

“Around here, a lot of people like natural wood,” Pozo says. “We still sell a lot of wood decks [like] cedar, mahogany.”

In some cases, natural wood can be less expensive, but the tradeoff is that it requires more maintenance.

The more sun exposure a deck receives, the more upkeep it will need. It needs to be cleaned regularly.

Plus, most wood decks need a new coat of stain once every two years, if not before. That’s more often than the siding on a house, which only needs to be stained every five years or so.

Pozo says that people tend to forget that decks take a lot

more wear and tear than other exterior surfaces: “Dogs are walking on it, people are walking on it, stuff from trees is falling on it.”

On the other hand, composite and PVC decking requires less attention. Trex products, for example, can be washed down with a garden hose.

Furniture The most popular outdoor furniture materials include aluminum, wicker, wrought iron and wood. Aluminum furniture is rust-resistant and lightweight, making it easier to rearrange and store.

Cast aluminum, which is heated down and poured into a mold, offers a more ornate outdoor touch.

“Aluminum doesn’t rust, so that’s perfect for pool areas where it has the potential to stay wet,” says Tonya Johnson, store manager at Holiday Patio and Wicker in Hudson, N.C. Johnson recommends applying a clear coat of wax to outdoor aluminum furniture once a year in order to maintain it.

Wicker furniture is another lightweight option.

Outdoor wicker is made of vinyl, while indoor wicker, or rattan, is constructed of reed material. Melinda Frazee

Rehabbing your outdoor space is an investment.

Outdoor materials get a lot of wear and tear, so choose low-maintenance options that fit your personal style

says customers are drawn to her shop, Frazee’s Wicker in Searsport, Maine, in search of the nostalgic, antique feeling that wicker gives off.

“They like to come in and get sofas so they can sit down and relax, read and watch the birds,” Frazee says.

Wicker is easy to maintain and can simply be hosed off.

However, wicker can mildew, she says, which can be cleaned with bleach and water.

On the other hand, wrought iron furniture is heavier, so it’s a better choice for windy outdoor areas.

Of the outdoor furniture materials, wood requires the most maintenance, Johnson says. Teak is one of the most popular outdoor woods, and if left alone, it weathers and takes on a silver hue.

“A lot of people want to get that silvery gray color,” she says.

“When it first comes, it’s a tan color, but… if you want to maintain it, you have to keep it clean.”

980 Blanco, Coos Bay

“are essential for fade resistance and prevent the fabric from degrading over time,” Wicker says.

The key to decorating an outdoor living space is to take your indoor aesthetic outside. “If you like bright colors, select brightly colored fabric for the furniture,” Wicker says. “If neutrals feel safer, then select neutral fabrics for your outdoor furniture and accent it with pops of color in accent pillows, outdoor throws and rugs.”

For a fun touch, mimic the flowers and colors of your landscape and garden with the colors and patterns on your outdoor fabric.

NEW EXECUTIVE EDITOR LARRY CAMPBELL

DIGITAL EDITOR LES BOWEN

The World welcomes its new digital editor, Les Bowen.

The digital editor position is also a new one. Responsibilities include overseeing the newspaper’s website and social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter.

Those kinds of duties are not foreign to Bowen. He said digital media has always been important to him since he’s “kinda been a geek anyway.”

World publisher Jeff Precourt said he was looking forward to the changes in digital media.

“In the past seven months, we’ve made significant improvements in our digital products. Les will add to that progress and help us grow even faster than before,” Precourt said.

Bowen was born and raised in the suburbs of Salt Lake City, Utah. After high school he decided he wanted to be a writer in order to make a mark in the world. “What drove me to journalim was I wanted to do something that makes a difference in the community,” Bowen said.

He studied journalism at the College of Eastern Utah, which is now part of Utah State University. While still attending college, he was hired as a paginator at the Sun Advocate in Price, Utah. He was later promoted to reporter. From there, Bowen became editor of the Vernal (Utah) Express in May 2007. He was there for one year.

He then became editor of the Lake Chelan Mirror and Quad City Herald in central Washington state. He was with the paper until September 2010, when he moved to upstate New York and was named editor of the Genesee Country Express in Dansville, N.Y. He accepted the additional responsibilities of general manager in 2012, a position he held until May. He lives in Empire with his wife of almost seven years, Heather Myers, and their two dogs, Jet and Luna. The furry kids are a combined 170 pounds.

Precourt said Bowen was a great addition to The World’s news team.

“Les has a track record of helping news sources move information quickly, through a variety of traditional and social media channels. We are excited to have been able to recruit him to Oregon’s South Coast.”

Bowen said he’s happy with his career choice, even with its challenges because “every day is different.” He also enjoys “informing the community to help them make better decisions.”

wrench or socket wrench to give the large nut a firm counter-clockwise twist.

If it’s been a while since the nut was removed, a couple of spritzes of WD-40 may be needed to get it loose.

Remove the nut and assorted washers and washer-like gadgets (it varies with brand) until you can take HOUSE off the blade itself.

Keep the gadgets in order so you can put them back later; a p h o t o might be a good idea.

STEVE Put the BATIE blade in a vise and use a hand-held 4-inch grinder to remove any nicks in the cutting edge, maintaining the angle of the factory edge. You can use a bench grinder, but I prefer the smaller hand-held tool because it lets me see the cutting edge while I’m working.

Another chapter from “Homeownerin0g 101.”

COOS BAY - Larry Campbell has always wanted to live on the Oregon Coast. Now, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist has gotten his way. Campbell, 30-year journalism veteran and reporter and former Associated Press bureau chief is taking the editorial helm of The World newspaper. On July 24 Campbell left his Anchorage, Alaska, home to assume the role of executive editor at The World.

“I can’t believe this is really happening,” Campbell said this week. “My wife (Melissa) and I have always kind of hoped we’d be able to relocate to the Oregon Coast. Now, it’s reality.

We’re quite simply ecstatic.”

World Publisher Jeff Precourt said Campbell immediately stood out as a person of interest during an extensive search. “Larry’s background as a journalist in Alaska was very appealing to us,” Precourt said. “Many of the topics in southwestern Oregon like the environment, native populations and government issues translate well.”

Campbell began his journalism career in 1982 with the Anchorage Daily News after graduating with a journalism degree from the University of Oregon. While at the Daily News, Campbell became the first reporter on the scene of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. The same year, he was part of a team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for a 10-week series on alcoholism and addiction in Alaskan native communities.

From 2001-2009, Campbell served as the assistant bureau chief and Alaska bureau chief of the Associated Press.

He’s also held executive editor positions at The Peninsula Clarion and First Alaskans Magazine, a publication devoted to telling stories of Alaska’s indigenous peoples.

“His career is filled with examples of blending high quality journalism with progressive strategies,” Precourt said.

“When we combine his strengths with the talented core of journalists we already have, there is no telling how much our news team can achieve.”

Campbell is more than happy to take on the new challenge.

“I think we can practice the kind of journalism that folks will appreciate,” he said. “When it’s done right, real journalism tries every day to give you the facts, give you the points of view and give you the information you need to make informed decisions about your community and your lives. That’s our responsibility. And we’ll meet our responsibility.”

The World is the only daily newspaper published on the Oregon South Coast.

The paper has been owned by Lee Enterprises of Davenport, Iowa since 2005.

Empty the bowl One of the first challenges faced by anyone who has to remove a toilet is getting the last water out of the bowl before you lift it.

Stuffing absorbent towels into the bowl is traditional, but even simpler is applying the “wet” feature of your wet/dry shop vacuum to the problem.

Sometimes you also can use a wet/dry vac to suck a clog out of a sink’s drain line.

It’s a lot more effective and easier on the plumbing than those chemical drain cleaners — and often much faster.

Ladder laws Everyone learned how a ladder works the first time they opened kitchen drawers and scaled them to get at the cookie jar, so we’ll confine ourselves to a few of the “don’ts” of ladder use.

• Don’t stand on the top tread of a step ladder. It’s not yours. It belongs to the ladder, and it’s where it keeps its hinges.

• Don’t lean out to the side to paint the last few inches of wall. Always keep your weight centered over the ladder.

• Don’t “jump” an extension ladder, i.e. try to shift it to one side to get at those last few inches of wall. Get down, move the ladder and go up again.

• Don’t wear flip-flops or tennies. It’s not a safety issue, but standing on rungs gets very tiring. You’ll be a lot more comfortable in boots.

Blade sharpening A sharp mower blade clips the grass neatly; a dull blade tears the grass, making it harder for it to recover and often leaving the lawn with a brownish sheen.

The blade of a lawnmower ought to be sharpened at least once a year, but twice is better (some even say monthly) — perhaps at the end or beginning of the mowing season and around Independence Day. To sharpen a blade, disconnect the spark plug cable and flip the mower over.

Wedge a block of wood against the blade so it doesn’t spin, then use an adjustable

Smooth off the grinder marks with a file, then flip the mower blade over and do the other side.

Replace the blade on the mower and reconnect the spark plug cable.

Sticky drawers When things stick together, our tendency is to oil them. When it comes to wood, however, that’s a mistake. Oil attracts dust, and when it inevitably dries, it actually can make matters worse.

Wax is the perfect lubricant for two pieces of wood that are rubbing together, such as a drawer and the guides it’s supposed to be sliding on. A beeswax candle is best, but an ordinary child’s crayon works in a pinch.

So does a bar of soap, which is why I always hang onto a couple of those slivers that are too small to use in the shower.

NEW EXECUTIVE EDITOR LARRY CAMPBELL

DIGITAL EDITOR LES BOWEN

The World welcomes its new digital editor, Les Bowen.

The digital editor position is also a new one. Responsibilities include overseeing the newspaper’s website and social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter.

Those kinds of duties are not foreign to Bowen. He said digital media has always been important to him since he’s “kinda been a geek anyway.”

World publisher Jeff Precourt said he was looking forward to the changes in digital media.

“In the past seven months, we’ve made significant improvements in our digital products. Les will add to that progress and help us grow even faster than before,” Precourt said.

Bowen was born and raised in the suburbs of Salt Lake City, Utah. After high school he decided he wanted to be a writer in order to make a mark in the world. “What drove me to journalim was I wanted to do something that makes a difference in the community,” Bowen said.

He studied journalism at the College of Eastern Utah, which is now part of Utah State University. While still attending college, he was hired as a paginator at the Sun Advocate in Price, Utah. He was later promoted to reporter. From there, Bowen became editor of the Vernal (Utah) Express in May 2007. He was there for one year.

He then became editor of the Lake Chelan Mirror and Quad City Herald in central Washington state. He was with the paper until September 2010, when he moved to upstate New York and was named editor of the Genesee Country Express in Dansville, N.Y. He accepted the additional responsibilities of general manager in 2012, a position he held until May. He lives in Empire with his wife of almost seven years, Heather Myers, and their two dogs, Jet and Luna. The furry kids are a combined 170 pounds.

Precourt said Bowen was a great addition to The World’s news team.

“Les has a track record of helping news sources move information quickly, through a variety of traditional and social media channels. We are excited to have been able to recruit him to Oregon’s South Coast.”

Bowen said he’s happy with his career choice, even with its challenges because “every day is different.” He also enjoys “informing the community to help them make better decisions.”

wrench or socket wrench to give the large nut a firm counter-clockwise twist.

If it’s been a while since the nut was removed, a couple of spritzes of WD-40 may be needed to get it loose.

Remove the nut and assorted washers and washer-like gadgets (it varies with brand) until you can take HOUSE off the blade itself.

Keep the gadgets in order so you can put them back later; a p h o t o might be a good idea.

STEVE Put the BATIE blade in a vise and use a hand-held 4-inch grinder to remove any nicks in the cutting edge, maintaining the angle of the factory edge. You can use a bench grinder, but I prefer the smaller hand-held tool because it lets me see the cutting edge while I’m working.

Another chapter from “Homeownerin0g 101.”

COOS BAY - Larry Campbell has always wanted to live on the Oregon Coast. Now, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist has gotten his way. Campbell, 30-year journalism veteran and reporter and former Associated Press bureau chief is taking the editorial helm of The World newspaper. On July 24 Campbell left his Anchorage, Alaska, home to assume the role of executive editor at The World.

“I can’t believe this is really happening,” Campbell said this week. “My wife (Melissa) and I have always kind of hoped we’d be able to relocate to the Oregon Coast. Now, it’s reality.

We’re quite simply ecstatic.”

World Publisher Jeff Precourt said Campbell immediately stood out as a person of interest during an extensive search. “Larry’s background as a journalist in Alaska was very appealing to us,” Precourt said. “Many of the topics in southwestern Oregon like the environment, native populations and government issues translate well.”

Campbell began his journalism career in 1982 with the Anchorage Daily News after graduating with a journalism degree from the University of Oregon. While at the Daily News, Campbell became the first reporter on the scene of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. The same year, he was part of a team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for a 10-week series on alcoholism and addiction in Alaskan native communities.

From 2001-2009, Campbell served as the assistant bureau chief and Alaska bureau chief of the Associated Press.

He’s also held executive editor positions at The Peninsula Clarion and First Alaskans Magazine, a publication devoted to telling stories of Alaska’s indigenous peoples.

“His career is filled with examples of blending high quality journalism with progressive strategies,” Precourt said.

“When we combine his strengths with the talented core of journalists we already have, there is no telling how much our news team can achieve.”

Campbell is more than happy to take on the new challenge.

“I think we can practice the kind of journalism that folks will appreciate,” he said. “When it’s done right, real journalism tries every day to give you the facts, give you the points of view and give you the information you need to make informed decisions about your community and your lives. That’s our responsibility. And we’ll meet our responsibility.”

The World is the only daily newspaper published on the Oregon South Coast.

The paper has been owned by Lee Enterprises of Davenport, Iowa since 2005.

Empty the bowl One of the first challenges faced by anyone who has to remove a toilet is getting the last water out of the bowl before you lift it.

Stuffing absorbent towels into the bowl is traditional, but even simpler is applying the “wet” feature of your wet/dry shop vacuum to the problem.

Sometimes you also can use a wet/dry vac to suck a clog out of a sink’s drain line.

It’s a lot more effective and easier on the plumbing than those chemical drain cleaners — and often much faster.

Ladder laws Everyone learned how a ladder works the first time they opened kitchen drawers and scaled them to get at the cookie jar, so we’ll confine ourselves to a few of the “don’ts” of ladder use.

• Don’t stand on the top tread of a step ladder. It’s not yours. It belongs to the ladder, and it’s where it keeps its hinges.

• Don’t lean out to the side to paint the last few inches of wall. Always keep your weight centered over the ladder.

• Don’t “jump” an extension ladder, i.e. try to shift it to one side to get at those last few inches of wall. Get down, move the ladder and go up again.

• Don’t wear flip-flops or tennies. It’s not a safety issue, but standing on rungs gets very tiring. You’ll be a lot more comfortable in boots.

Blade sharpening A sharp mower blade clips the grass neatly; a dull blade tears the grass, making it harder for it to recover and often leaving the lawn with a brownish sheen.

The blade of a lawnmower ought to be sharpened at least once a year, but twice is better (some even say monthly) — perhaps at the end or beginning of the mowing season and around Independence Day. To sharpen a blade, disconnect the spark plug cable and flip the mower over.

Wedge a block of wood against the blade so it doesn’t spin, then use an adjustable

Smooth off the grinder marks with a file, then flip the mower blade over and do the other side.

Replace the blade on the mower and reconnect the spark plug cable.

Sticky drawers When things stick together, our tendency is to oil them. When it comes to wood, however, that’s a mistake. Oil attracts dust, and when it inevitably dries, it actually can make matters worse.

Wax is the perfect lubricant for two pieces of wood that are rubbing together, such as a drawer and the guides it’s supposed to be sliding on. A beeswax candle is best, but an ordinary child’s crayon works in a pinch.

So does a bar of soap, which is why I always hang onto a couple of those slivers that are too small to use in the shower.

Pay-as-youearn repayment plan may offer relief DEAR MARY: At age 46, I went back to school and chose University of Phoenix because I could go to school online and continue to work full time.

Five years later I received my bachelor’s degree at age 51.

I was proud of myself, but I work at a grain elevator in a s m a l l town and EVERYDAY discovCHEAPSKATE ered that my new degree meant nothing to my employer.

So it has done me no good.

Now I Mary face all Hunt the stud e n t loans. I just discovered that it will take 30 years to pay off my $71,000 in school loans.

The current $236 monthly payment is already stretching me. I can’t afford to pay more each month, and the thought of throwing away all that money on interest and paying till I die has me superstressed.

Is there any way that I can get at least some of this debt forgiven? I just don’t know where to turn. — Susie, Illinois DEAR SUSIE: Reading your letter made my heart hurt.

Oh, how I wish you’d written before you made the decision to take on so much student debt. I would have offered you my Rule of Thumb for student debt: Do not borrow more for college than you expect to earn the first year out of school.

I can tell you that repayment plans for federal student loans have become more generous recently, as some new rules have gone into effect.

Ask your loan servicer about the “Pay as You Earn” option, which became available to borrowers at the end of December 2012.

This plan improves on the current income-based repayment program, pegging the amount you pay to your discretionary income (the amount by which your income exceeds the poverty line), and lowers the percentage of income you pay from 15 percent to 10 percent and the number of years over which you pay from 25 to 20 years. At the end of that period, any remaining amount is forgiven.

To qualify, you must have taken out your first federal student loan after Sept. 30, 2007 and received a disbursement from at least one loan after Sept. 30, 2011. Only direct loans are covered. You can learn more about whether you are eligible for this at StudentAid.ed.gov. Type, “Pay as you earn,” in the search box.

DEAR MARY: I currently have $37,000 in credit card debt. All of the accounts are current, and I’ve stopped using the cards. Settling is not an option for me. I am close to signing with a DMP (debt management program), which would resolve this in four years. I have $10,000 that I can apply to these balances now. Can you suggest a better way? Thanks. — Rick, email.

DEAR RICK: From what you’ve told me, it appears the steps you’re taking are exactly what I would advise: Keep your payments current, stop using the cards, buckle down, and do whatever you must do to get these things paid off as quickly as possible.

My only caution is that the DMP you’re considering should be with a reputable credit counseling organization that is certified by NFCC (National Foundation for Credit Counseling).

I want to make sure you understand that once you’re accepted into the DMP, your counselor will work with your creditors to reduce your interest rates and get you onto a plan that will get your debt paid off quickly — in your case, four years. That’s good.

While enrolled in the DMP, you will make your payments to the DMP, who will in turn send the agreed-upon payments to your creditors. This is why you want to make sure you’re working with a reputable DMP that has a good track record and testimonials from satisfied graduates of its management program. Good luck!

SUNDAY, AUGUST 4, 2013 A number of pleasant surprises could be in store for you in the year ahead. One might involve your work, while a few others are likely to pertain to your social life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’ll figure out how to reach someone whom you’ve thought of as being cold and aloof.

You’ve been misreading this individual, and will now find him or her warm and welcoming.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — This is an excellent day to make a long-contemplated change that could improve your finances. Once you iron out any wrinkles, make your move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you feel that you have to make an important decision that involves others and could have far-reaching effects, it’s important to have the courage of your convictions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A situation in which you’ve worked hard for something that is being denied you is likely to be rectified today. It pays to keep the faith.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) — Although you have established a valuable contact, thus far you haven’t handled a relationship to the best of your advantage, or even to the other party’s. Try to make up for lost time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t give up on something worthwhile that you’ve been pursuing. The results you’ve been hoping for could be much closer than you think.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Your mental acuity can be your greatest asset. If you think resourcefully, there’s no doubt that you’ll have the ability to interest the right people and get the help you need.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You’ll have the rare knack of being able to turn an unusual development to your advantage.

Victorian 3 bdrm, 2 bath. Very clean.

Natural gas. All appliances incl., W/D, deck, landscaped fenced backyard, single car garage. Close to amenities.

No smoking/ pets. $1100/mo + $1500 sec. dep. 541-756-2408.

BARVIEW $695.00 2bdrm. 2 bath remodeled, decks, fenced storage, w/d hook ups,lawn service, No smoke/ Sm. Pet with Deposit Application and Credit Ck fee 541-888-3981 695 LEASE WITH OPTION. NEW studio 2 story 900 sq ft., plus garage. Lake front / ocean view. Covered RV with hook-ups. References 1155 13th St. Port Orford. Call 208-263-9845

Once you get on a roll, you might do this in two or more instances.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t delegate an important chore to a less-talented person.

This can be a rewarding day for you, provided you select the right person to do the job — it might have to be you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Allow your extremely perceptive mind to spot where your best chances for making a good profit lie.Your instincts should be right on the money, so pay attention to them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Because you’ll work effectively in most group involvements today, try to avoid solitary pursuits. When all is said and done, the results will be exceptionally gratifying.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t be hesitant in attempting to fulfill an important ambition. Numerous challenges will awaken all kinds of latent talents that you may not have known existed.

MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 2013 Your involvements with resourceful and progressive individuals should come off well in the coming months. However, don’t expect the same results with those who lack your imagination and go-getting qualities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A disagreement with either a family member or a good friend needs to be settled as speedily as possible. If fences aren’t mended quickly, a small rift could get much worse.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If someone recently did something that you resent and you’re still holding a grudge, you need to get over it.You need to let bygones be bygones and move on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — This is an especially good day to review how much time and money you’ve been spending on inessential items and activities. Once you identify the waste, you’ll find ways to weed it out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Objectives you set for yourself might not be easy to reach. If you’re aware of this fact from the get-go, you won’t be inclined to quit the moment things get rough.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) — You might have too many doubts for your own good. Being cautious is one thing, but just being negative is detrimental and prohibits progress.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t overlook or ignore an old financial obligation to a friend just because he or she is a pal. The quickest way to end the relationship is to fail to do what you promised.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If at all possible, avoid friends who tend to be pessimistic. Sadly, they will have a negative effect on your outlook and end up putting a damper on your day.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Your way of doing things is likely to turn insignificant tasks into major undertakings. Do your best to plan your moves in advance before you swing the hammer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t waste time worrying about things that have little chance of happening. If you want to succeed, concentrate on your goals and not on nonexistent problems.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If things go wrong in your household today, don’t try to pin the blame on any one person; view the entire picture. It usually takes more than one cause to make things go askew.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Stick to the facts if you’re trying to promote something special. The worst thing you could do would be to embellish your wares.Your deception will quickly be discovered.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you need to make a purchase of financial consequence today, be certain that you’re getting exactly what you want.

Don’t let yourself be saddled with something that’s not perfect.
