Lakeside algae issue is not going away

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

LAKESIDE — The squabbling over solving Tenmile Lakes’ bluegreen algae problem shows no sign of stopping, even as a committee is trying to get a water improvement district on the May ballot.

The debate continued Tuesday morning at the Coos County Commissioners’ meeting. Tim Bishop, who’s leading the charge to put a water improvement district to a vote, asked the commissioners

Commissioners to Tenmile Lakes water district committee: Quit bickering and come to an agreement for their blessing.

But all three were hesitant to sign on since there’s still discord between Lakeside residents over what exactly causes the blue-green algae outbreaks and how they can be stopped.

The committee would need 100 signatures or 15 percent of the proposed district’s registered voters to

get the measure on the ballot — and that would be nearly impossible, Bishop said, since there are only about 140 residents living within the proposed district boundaries.

There are about 950 properties on the lake that would fall into the district, he said, which would generate around $95,000 a year in taxes to help improve the lake’s

water quality.

The committee is looking for “neighbor-friendly ways of curing the problem,” and asking the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to “bring the hammer down” isn’t a good idea, he said.

Property owners are required to maintain their onsite septic sys-

tems according to state law.

Lakefront homeowner Richard Litts said DEQ should come down on those who don’t keep their septic systems up to date.

“I think the cornerstone of this commitment should be a mandatory (septic) inspection right off the bat, so we know which homes need to be fixed and which are OK,” he said. “It’s been sidelined to ‘We’ll just check them as (properties) sell down the road.’

First Ebola case in Texas

also disclosed that shortly before the alleged intruder, Omar J. Gonzalez, scaled the fence at least two of her uniformed officers recognized him from an earlier troubling encounter but did not approach him or report his presence to superiors.

On Aug. 25, Gonzalez was stopped while carrying a small hatchet near the fence south of the White House, Pierson said.

Lawmakers were aghast, too, about a fourday delay in 2011 before the Secret Service realized a man had fired a high-powered rifle at the White House, as reported by the Post on Sunday.

Pierson told the hearing the security plan for protecting the White House was not “properly executed” on Sept. 19 when the intruder sprinted across the White House North Lawn and through the unlocked front door of the mansion, knocking over a Secret Service officer and then running past the staircase that leads to the first family’s residential quarters. He ran

DALLAS — The first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. has been confirmed in a man who recently traveled from Liberia to Dallas, sending chills through the area’s West African community whose leaders urged caution to prevent spreading the virus.

The unidentified man was critically ill and has been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital since Sunday, federal health officials said Tuesday. They would not reveal his nationality or age.

Authorities have begun tracking down family, friends and anyone else who may have come in close contact with him and could be at risk. Officials said there are no other suspected cases in Texas.

At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Director Tom Frieden said the man left Liberia on Sept. 19, arrived the next day to visit relatives and started feeling ill four or five days later. Frieden said it was not clear how the man became infected.

“I have no doubt that we’ll stop this in its tracks in the U.S. But I also have no doubt that — as long as the outbreak continues in Africa — we need to be on our guard,” Frieden said, adding that it was possible someone who has had contact with the man could develop Ebola in the coming weeks.

“But there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here,” he said.

Stanley Gaye, president of the Liberian Community Association of Dallas-Fort Worth, said the 10,000-strong Liberian population in North Texas is skeptical of the CDC’s assurances because Ebola has ravaged their country.

“We’ve been telling people to try to stay away from social gatherings,” Gaye said at a community meeting Tuesday evening. Large get-togethers are a prominent part

Details of presidential security lapses evolve

BY EILEEN SULLIVAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The embarrassing disclosures about lapses in presidential security just keep coming for the Secret Service.

Despite more than three hours of questioning

by House lawmakers on Tuesday, Secret Service Director Julia Pierson neglected to mention another security breach that occurred just days before a knife-carrying Army veteran climbed over the White House fence and sprinted into the executive mansion.

On Sept. 16, an armed security contractor with three convictions for assault and battery rode on an elevator with President Barack Obama and his security detail at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, violating Secret Service protocol. The Washington Examiner and The Washington Post reported the details of that breach just hours after Pierson left a House hearing.

A Secret Service spokesman confirmed the Atlanta elevator incident late Tuesday but did

not elaborate, citing an ongoing investigation of the episode. It was not clear whether the president or Pierson herself knew about the incident until recently.

Pierson got a vote of low confidence from the lawmakers, who called for additional reviews into the agency’s poor response. The chairman of the House committee with oversight responsibilities for the Secret Service called for an independent commission to do a “top-to-bottom” review of the agency.

“I am deeply concerned with the lack of transparency from the Secret Service regarding the recent security breach at the White House,” Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said of the Sept. 19 incident. “This latest episode adds to the growing list of failures from an agency plagued by operational challenges, cultural problems and reporting difficulties.”

At Tuesday’s hearing, Pierson said she is the one who briefs Obama on threats to his personal security and said she had briefed him only once this year, “for the Sept. 19 incident.” She

Some medical pot users wary of legalization in Oregon

INSIDE

PORTLAND (AP) — Alex Pavich is the last person you’d expect to be on the fence about marijuana legalization.

The 39-year-old is a longtime marijuana consumer, using it to treat old injuries and calm his nerves. Pavich and his girlfriend, Aligra Rainy, 28, opened one of the first medical marijuana dispensaries in Portland, helping to launch what is now a regulated industry in Oregon. Today their

shop, Collective Awakenings, is among the more well-known medical marijuana retailers in the state and bustles with patients.

But Pavich isn’t sure whether he’ll vote for Initiative 91. The measure on November’s ballot would open the door to recreational marijuana in Oregon and make the state one of only three in the U.S. to allow anyone over 21 to possess pot.

Pavich, a medical marijuana grower, worries recreational pot will shift the focus from patients to profit.

“We are in the 21st century gold rush,” he said. “I see a lot of dollar signs in people’s eyes.”

Medical and recreational marijuana users may seem like natural allies in the campaign for legalized pot, but Pavich’s ambivalence underscores mixed feelings and even misgivings among members of the medical cannabis community.

Some worry recreational marijuana will overshadow and sideline the state’s medical marijuana program. They worry small-scale medical marijuana growers who

focus on producing high-quality cannabis for the chronically ill will be squeezed out of the market.

They fear if recreational pot turns into a money-maker for the state, lawmakers may take a hard look at medical marijuana’s relevance.

Then there’s the bottom line concern about more competition.

“The growers like the status quo,” said Don Morse, who operates Human Collective II, a Southwest Portland dispensary. “They are able to maintain certain price points and (Initiative 91) could open up too much competition.

In Oregon, one of 23 medical marijuana states, patients may possess up to 24 ounces of cannabis at any time. They can grow up to six mature marijuana plants and 18 immature ones, or have someone do it for them. With few exceptions, medical marijuana sold in Oregon’s dispensaries is not taxed.

Patients must see a doctor annually to renew their medical marijuana card and they must have one of a

Paid sick leave: yes or no?

Paid sick leave for all is long overdue A coalition of activist organizations seeking to boost the minimum wage and require paid sick days for all workers has a better shot at the second goal, at least in Oregon.

Whether you believe the minimum wage in this state is adequate — and there is plenty of evidence that it is not — Oregon’s minimum is the second highest in the country, behind only Washington. A push to raise Oregon’s even higher is unlikely to gain much traction.

Accepting for the moment that a higher minimum wage is not likely to happen in Oregon anytime soon, paid sick leave is long overdue.

Sick leave is a cause the restaurant industry ought to embrace, not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also to protect its paying customers.

Workers who do not have paid sick time frequently must choose between working while sick and paying rent, and in many cases can risk losing their job entirely if they call in sick.

Limiting contact with sick people is the best way to stay healthy, but it’s hard to do that when so many people are forced to go to work serving the public when they’re under the weather.

Your kids may have brought home that latest cough and fever from a classmate who had to go to school sick because his mom could not afford to miss work to stay home with him.

Some local jurisdictions have begun enact-

Oregon Views Oregon Views offers edited excerpts of newspaper editorials from around the state. To see the full text, go to theworldlink.com/new/opinion. ing paid sick leave laws, most recently in Eugene, where a new law takes effect next July.

The Restaurant and Lodging Association opposed that law, saying it did not want to see a patchwork of local rules.

In that case, the industry ought to support a statewide law to provide consistency.

The (Medford) Mail Tribune

State should not set sick leave policy It appears a measure to require all or most of the state’s private employers to give their workers paid sick leave will likely be introduced in the 2015 Legislature. A similar proposal died in the 2013 legislative session.

Let’s be clear: We encourage employers to offer paid sick leave, if they can afford it. But there are times when Oregon doesn’t need to be an innovator, and this is one of them.

Currently only two states, California and Connecticut, and seven U.S. cities, including Portland and Eugene, require private employers to offer sick leave, and that’s innovation enough. For small employers, in particular, paid sick leave could be the added expense that

make the cost of doing business too costly.

Although sectors of the state’s economy are improving, we still trail the nation where unemployment and per-capita earnings are concerned. The solutions — more and betterpaying jobs — will come in no small part as new businesses move in, and as long as we’re seen as unfriendly in that regard, the pace of growth in that area will lag.

Some business owners honestly believe paying people when they’re ill is simply too expensive. Neither we nor they should be required by law to do so.

Legalize marijuana? No. But it if is? Tax it.

We’re talking about the Oregon Ballot Measure 91 that voters will decide at the Nov. 4 election. We say no. For us, it comes down to whether Oregon should open a new avenue for people 21 and over to abuse drugs and the risky behavior that can come with it.

There’s ample arguments on both sides of whether marijuana serves as an introduction to worse illegal drugs such as cocaine or hero-

in, and we want to err on the side of caution — and it may not even be an error. With a couple of years of experience in seeing what happens in Colorado and Washington, where recreational use of marijuana has been approved, we might even have a change of mind.

But not right now and besides, let’s look at the reality of Oregon politics.

Measure 91 will fail in Klamath and Lake counties. We’re sure of that. But the issue will be decided in the Willamette Valley, where support is much stronger. It probably has an excellent chance of being approved statewide.

What cities and counties should be doing is getting ready for legalization. They should approve ordinances to tax marijuana sales, with the hope that if the taxes are approved before the election, they will be grandfathered in. Once Measure 91 is approved, it will be too late. Only the state could tax the sales after that.

At least a couple of Oregon cities already have approved tax measures on sales. Klamath Falls and Klamath County should do the same and earmark the revenue for law enforcement.

Our recommendation is to register objection to the recreational use of marijuana with a no vote on Measure 91, and get ready to deal with it when a majority of the Oregon’s voters go the other way. At least get a piece of the tax revenue that might be available for cities and counties to help enforce the new law.

Holiday madness already Each year, the retailers start pushing the holidays on us earlier and earlier.

This year, the ads started showing up in September. Kids are already talking about what they want to get; parents are already putting up lights and decorations outside, planning big dinners and spending money like there’s no tomorrow.

Of course, I’m talking about the biggest holiday of the year: Halloween.

Who doesn’t fondly remember their parents spending hours hanging up fancy, expensive outdoor Halloween lights, addressing and mailing their Halloween cards and buying fancy, Broadway-musicalquality costumes for all their kids before putting out bowls of $2 candy bars for the neighborhood trick-or-treaters?

The way I remember it, we carved a pumpkin the night before. A big toothy thing, obviously done by enthusiastic but unskilled children, not something that looks like Martha Stewart spent a week on it. Not something that looks as if it came out of a 3D printer.

The scariest thing about Halloween today is what it has become.I don’t want to sound like the JIM Ghost of Halloween Past, MULLEN but when did this fun, minor holiday get blown Humorist up into New Year’s Eve, Christmas and Thanksgiving combined? If the greeting card companies and the retailers can do it to Halloween, they can do it to any random day of the year.

How long before we have to start buying our kids presents for the summer solstice?

How long before we have to decorate the house for Arbor Day? How long before changing the clock to and from Daylight Saving Time becomes a couple of new threeday weekends?

And don’t forget, if retailers have their way, you’ll have to buy presents for every one of these holidays. Not just for your children, but for your spouse, your siblings, your inlaws, your co-workers and your boss. Not just any old present, but something you had to obsess over for weeks and weeks.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Halloween. It’s the perfect holiday for kids — even better than Christmas. You’ve been naughty all year? So what? You’ll get just as much candy as the nice kids. I speak from personal experience. And unlike all those other holidays, you don’t have to get in a car and drive for hours to visit some relatives, only find out you’re still sitting at the kids’ table. You just walk out the door and the world is the way it should be everyday: People give you candy.

When I was a kid, if you were lucky, you’d get some miniature chocolate bars or some tiny Tootsie Rolls, but that was rare. I think my mother gave out candy corn one year.

One piece per child. I don’t remember anyone complaining.

Not that my brothers and sisters were there to see her dole it out; we were all long gone trying to score as much swag as we could. The good houses, the ones that gave away malted milk balls or wrapped candies, we’d hit two or three times. I would visit first as a ghost with an old sheet over my head, then as a Roman senator in a sheet toga, and a third time as Lawrence of Arabia with the sheet secured to my head Bedouin-style with a belt.

So now, in the holiday spirit, my wife and I turn out the lights, close the curtains and pretend our house has been abandoned for many years, probably because it’s haunted.

For some reason, we don’t get as many trick-or-treaters as we used to.

Letters to the Editor A Sousaphone is not a tuba A couple of days ago you published some of Lou Sennick’s wonderful photos, one of them being a young man playing a brass instrument. The caption called the instrument a tuba, which it is not. It is a Sousaphone.

Sousaphones are used mostly in marching bands because they are much easier for the musician to carry than the tuba. Prior to the Sousaphone was the helicon.

John P. Sousa designed an improvement on the helicon for use in his famous band, and this improvement was named the Sousaphone, in his honor.

The first “bell-front” Sousaphone was built in 1908.

One advantage in using the

Sousaphone in marching bands is that the bell can be turned around to face the rear. This was used in military bands which marched in front of the soldiers and helped to keep them in step.

Say no to the LNG plant Is the Jordan Cove energy project worth the price we will pay?

Shall we, after a season of record-setting hot weather, act to inform ourselves of what is happening to our planet and then take appropriate action?

Please watch a documentary video called “Gasland,” available on Netflix and from the library.

Then let’s ask ourselves whether or not this country should sup-

port an industry that is literally helping to destroy our Earth.

Are temporary jobs and temporary incomes really worth being a part of the messy destruction? Surely citizens of Coos County can come up with more creative and beneficial ways to live than being bought by coal/oil/gas monopoly that is poising the earth with its extracting, fracking, burning and piping.

The proposal to pipe an explosive-prone mixture from devastated, fracked areas in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado across the land to Jordan Cove is, in the long run, a dangerous, harmful and futile exercise.

I grew up in Coos County, own property there, and love this place above all others. Do we really want to welcome Jordan Cove energy project pipeline and terminal with open arms? Shall

we instead join hands with other informed Oregonians, including our governor, who are standing up and saying, “No!” Let’s think again and make life enhancing choices. If not for ourselves, then for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Both political parties anti-choice Democrats often call themselves “pro-choice.” Republicans defend “freedom.” Unfortunately, neither party really believes in letting individuals do what we want.

When Democrats say they are “pro-choice,” they are talking about abortion. Some act as if a right to legal abortion is the most important freedom in America.

But Democrats aren’t very enthusiastic about other kinds of choice. They don’t want you to have the right to choose your kids’ school, work without joining a union, buy a gun, pay people whatever you contract to pay them if they choose to work for you, buy things you want to buy without regulations constantly interfering and so on.

Liberals, such as my Fox colleague Alan Colmes, say individualism is not enough. “‘Collective,’ sounds like communism,” says Colmes on my TV show this week (yes, Alan, it does), “but we do work and live in a society where there is a collective well-being.”

He thinks I should be grateful for regulations that limit access to guns and that force people to negotiate via labor unions instead of individual contracts. But if we

were really grateful, it wouldn’t be necessary to force us to abide by those rules.

I want to try doing things my own way. I should be able JOHN to. As long as I STOSSEL don’t harm someone else’s Columnist body or property.

Democrats constantly increase limits on individual choice.

President Obama won’t let people work in unpaid internships, and health officials in liberal cities ban trans fats from restaurants.

I like the way Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) summarized liberals’ love of crushing choice: “It’s light bulbs. It’s toilets. It’s cars. You name it. Your freedom of choice is gone. For a party that says they are the pro-choice party, this is the most anti-choice administration we’ve seen in a lifetime.”

Republicans have their own list of ways in which they want to control us. Many are not just antiabortion (as is Sen. Paul); they’re also anti-gay marriage, anti-

drugs,anti-gambling and,in a few cases, anti-free speech.

Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, says most of these rules are needed to protect society as a whole. When I challenge the war on drugs, asking,“Don’t I own my own body?” he answers, “It is your body, John, but the consequences are paid for by the broader society.”

For example, when he was a police officer, Perkins “had to go into homes (such as in) one case where there was an infant that was on the mother’s body, and the mother was dead from an overdose. I had to wait for child protection to come.And that child became a ward of the state, which we all pay for.”

The neglect of that child is a terrible thing, but where does this logic lead? I asked him if he’d ban alcohol and cigarettes, since those kill far more people. He said, “We restrict who can buy cigarettes, who can use them.”

But we impose those restrictions only on children. Adults are free to smoke. Adults should be free to do anything we damn well want to do — as long as we don’t directly harm others.

Perkins worries that controlled substances can be habit-forming.

I worry more about people becoming habituated to being controlled.

I wonder just how many things social conservatives would outlaw if they thought the public would accept the bans. Perkins doesn’t approve of gambling, gay marriage, plural marriage, sex work or making a political statement by burning a flag.

And some of those things harm people. But we should use law to punish those who harm others, not to micromanage their lives.

Meanwhile, liberals keep adding new things to their own list of items to control: wages,hate speech, high-interest loans, plastic shopping bags, large cars, health care, e-cigarettes, Uber, AirBnB and more.

One choice America needs urgently is an alternative to politicians who constantly want to ban more things.

State Truck driver spreading herpes is out of ex-wife’s control DEAR ABBY: Last year I found a bottle of Valtrex in my husband’s car. He had been taking the medicine for months.

When I asked him about it, he lied. I was devastated when I realized I had been exposed to herpes. He actually tried to say he got DEAR it from me, but later he admitted that he had been stepping out with rand o m w o m e n w h i l e working JEANNE out of PHILLIPS town. (He’s a truck driver.)

I had a blood test and thankfully I didn’t catch it.

What is the doctor’s responsibility in informing the spouse? I’m sure my ex is going to sleep around and infect others. We are divorced now, so I’m free of his lying and cheating, but I am fearful for others. He’s so lowdown that he will spread it to other women and not care. Should I be concerned, or should I just leave it alone since he’s not my problem anymore? — HEARTBROKEN IN ALABAMA DEA R HE AR T B R OK EN : Unless your husband gave his physician permission to reveal his medical status to you, the doctor was bound

by HIPAA regulations, and by law could not warn you that your husband had an STD. (Yes, I agree this aspect of the law is disgusting.)

Much as you might wish to, there’s nothing you can do to control your former spouse’s behavior. My doctor tells me that herpes is most contagious during an outbreak. The risk is far less when the person is not shedding the virus. Valtrex the further decreases chances of spreading it, although it’s still possible.

If the result of the blood test you were given was negative, then you have been exposed. never However, if you have any symptoms, such as itching or swollen lymph nodes in your groin, you should let your OB/GYN know right away.

DEAR ABBY: My 57year-old sister has had many career problems.

She’s well-educated, personable, professional and punctual, but she quits or is let go from one job after another within weeks because “it wasn’t a good fit.” She seems to be holding out for what she had 25 years ago — a well-paying position supervising clerks.

But jobs like that don’t exist anymore.

She’s excellent at working with small children and the elderly and has significant experience doing so, but she believes such jobs are “beneath” her. I’m her only close relative, and I’m afraid she’ll eventually turn to me for financial support — something my husband and I cannot afford to provide. What can I do or say to make her realize that a STEADY JOB is what she really needs for the next 10 years? — SENSIBLE SIB IN ARIZONA DEA R S EN S I BL E S I B: Tell your sister exactly what you have written to me: “Sis, what you need is a steady job for the next 10 years, because if you’re counting on support from me, I’m telling you now my husband and I can’t afford to give it to you.” It’s short, sweet, and it may be the wake-up call she needs before it’s too late.

Biologists identify pot gardens as salmon threat

The Associated Press

Airport passengers pass by Norm Thompson retail outlet at Portland International Airport in Portland. The Federal Trade Commission announced this week that two companies have agreed to refund $1.5 million to consumers who purchased “shapewear” that supposedly can reduce cellulite and fat because it’s infused with caffeine, vitamin E and other things.

Plagiarism allegations focus of new Merkley ad STATE

PORTLAND (AP) — Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley has turned plagiarism accusations against his Republican rival, Monica Wehby, into a television ad.

Merkley’s campaign released the ad Tuesday, two weeks after news reports showed her health care and economic proposals closely resembled statements made by other Republicans.

Wehby, a doctor, has run on her expertise in health care and describes herself as an independent thinker.

Merkley has tried to pierce her image as a moderate, and uses the plagiarism allegations to link her to national Republican figures, including Karl Rove and the Koch brothers. The ad says “Monica Wehby made their agenda her agenda.”

Panel: Spend $100 million to prep for quake SALEM (AP) — A panel of experts is recommending that Oregon spend at least $100

developing building codes.

FTC: Drop your caffeinated drawers

D I G E S T million a year to prepare schools and emergency buildings for a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake.

The recommendation is among nearly two dozen sent to state lawmakers Tuesday.

The Legislature last year created a task force to recommend immediate steps that can be taken to improve Oregon’s ability to withstand a massive offshore quake.

The panel says the money should be used to retrofit unsafe buildings, tear them down or replace them.

Other suggestions include hiring an earthquake adviser to the governor and developing education programs for schoolchildren, businesses and the public.

The panel says local governments also should take into account the latest tsunami inundation maps when

PORTLAND (AP) — If you purchased caffeine-infused underwear because of promises it will make you thinner, federal regulators say you were hoodwinked — but at least you can get your money back.

The Federal Trade Commission announced this week that two companies have agreed to refund $1.5 million to consumers who purchased “shapewear” that supposedly can reduce cellulite and fat because it’s infused with caffeine, vitamin E and other things.

The FTC says there’s no scientific evidence to back up those claims.

In a settlement, Norm Thompson Outfitters of Oregon, and Wacoal America Inc. of New Jersey agree not to make claims that their products cause weight loss or a reduction of body size.

GRANTS PASS (AP) — Water use and other actions by the marijuana industry in the Emerald Triangle of Northern California and Southern Oregon are threatening salmon already in danger of extinction, federal biologists said Tuesday.

Concerns about the impact of pot farming were raised by the NOAA Fisheries Service in its final recovery plan for coho salmon in the region. The full plan was to be posted on the agency’s website.

A copy obtained in advance calls for determining then decreasing the amount of water that pot growers illegally withdraw from creeks where young fish struggle to survive.

Pot is legally grown in the region for medical purposes and illegally for the black market.

Other threats from the unregulated industry include clear-cutting forests to create pot plantations, building roads that send sediment into salmon streams, and spreading fertilizer and pesticides that poison the water.

Coho salmon have been listed as a threatened species since 1997 in the region. Like salmon throughout the West, they have suffered from loss of habitat from logging, agriculture, urban development, overfishing and dams.

The recovery plan also calls for steps to address many of those issues.

The spotlight on marijuana stemmed from a California Department of Fish and Wildlife study that estimated pot growers suck millions of gallons of water from salmon streams.

“Logging is regulated.

Vineyards are regulated. It is

time this industry was willing to be regulated,” said Scott Bauer, an environmental scientist on the watershed enforcement team of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and lead author of the study.

Armed with new authority from the Legislature, the department is imposing fines for illegal water withdrawals for use on pot plantations, Bauer said.

The recovery plan points specifically to marijuana as a threat in river basins of Northern California, but the same issues exist in southwestern Oregon rivers, said Clarence Hostler, south coast branch chief for NOAA Fisheries in Arcata, California.

The plan marks the second time that Endangered Species Act actions have pointed to marijuana as a threat. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been looking at rat poison left around illegal pot plantations in California as a factor in whether to list the Pacific fisher as a threatened species.

The Emerald Growers Association represents a few hundred marijuana farmers in the region known as the Emerald Triangle due to the prevalence of pot plantations. Executive director Hezekiah Allen said bringing the industry under regulation would allow legitimate growers to compete more evenly with illegal growers, who have a financial incentive to cut corners.

“We need regulation that’s going to make sense to the farmers on the ground,” he said. “That is also going to achieve the public safety and environmental goals that we all share.”

NEWS D I G E S T Airstrikes launched amid intelligence gaps WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is grappling with significant intelligence gaps as it bombs Iraq and Syria, and it is operating under less restrictive targeting rules than those President Barack Obama imposed on the CIA drone campaign in Pakistan and Yemen, according to current and former U.S. officials.

The U.S. military says its airstrikes have been discriminating and effective in disrupting an al-Qaida cell called the Khorasan Group and in halting the momentum of Islamic State militants. But independent analysts say the Islamic State group remains on the offensive in areas of Iraq and Syria, where it still controls large sections. And according to witnesses, U.S. airstrikes have at times hit empty buildings that were long ago vacated by Islamic State fighters.

More bodies found on summit of volcano OTAKI, Japan (AP) — A dozen more bodies were found Wednesday near the ash-covered summit of a Japanese volcano as searches resumed amid concern of toxic gasses and another eruption.

The death toll from last Saturday’s surprise eruption at Mount Ontake stands at 48 after Wednesday’s additions, Nagano prefectural police said.

Prefectural and police officials said most bodies were found around the summit, where many climbers were resting or having lunch.

The Ground Self-Defense Forces helicopters brought more than a dozen bodies to the foot of the mountain Wednesday.

Forensic link at center of missing student case CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Virginia police aren’t saying much at all about their evidence against a suspect in the disappearance of a University of Virginia student, but they seem to be working systematically to link his DNA to an expanding circle of attacks on women, a criminal defense expert suggested Tuesday.

Between searches of Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr.’s car and apartment and his arrest on a charge of abducting Hannah Graham last week, police had ample opportunity to obtain genetic evidence connecting him to multiple attacks, said Steve Benjamin, past president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

The Virginia State Police announced Monday that Matthew’s arrest had provided a “forensic link” to the unsolved 2009 slaying of Morgan Harrington, a 20year-old whose remains were found in a hayfield three months after she disappeared from a Metallica concert on the Charlottesville campus.

World’s 1st bullet train turns 50 TOKYO (AP) — It was, retired Japanese railway engineer Fumihiro Araki recalls, “like flying in the sky.”

Zipping cross-country in a super-high-speed train has become commonplace in many countries these days, but it was unheard of when Japan launched its bullet train between Tokyo and Osaka 50 years ago Wednesday.

The Shinkansen, as it’s called in Japan, gave a boost to train travel in Europe and Asia at a time when the rise of the automobile and the airplane threated to eclipse it. It also was a symbol of pride for Japan, less than two decades after the end of World War II, and a precursor of the economic “miracle” to come.

Construction spending down 0.8 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. construction spending fell in August, the second decline in the past three months, with housing, nonresidential and government projects all showing weakness.

Construction spending dropped a seasonally adjusted 0.8 percent after a 1.2 percent increase in July, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. The July increase followed a 1.6 percent June decline.

Taliban suicide bombers kill 7 in Kabul, wound 21 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Taliban suicide bombers struck two buses carrying Afghan soldiers in Kabul early Wednesday, killing seven people and wounding 21, just a day after the signing of a key U.S.-Afghan security pact.

The long-awaited deal allows U.S. forces to remain in the country past the end of 2014, ending the uncertainty over the fate of foreign troops supporting Afghans as they take over the fight against the Taliban insurgency.

Wednesday’s attacks suicide two involved bombers targeting buses carrying Afghan troops in the country’s capital.

The first attacker hit a bus with Afghan National Army

officers in west Kabul, killing seven and wounding 15, said the city’s criminal investigation police chief Mohammad Farid Afzali.

The second attacker, who was also on foot, blew himself up in front of a bus in northeastern Kabul, wounding at least six army personnel, Afzali said.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying the security pact with America has only motivated the group and given the Taliban “more morale” to fight the enemy.

“They need to give more sacrifices to make their homeland free,” Mujahid said, referring to Taliban fighters.

Oklahoma man charged with murder in beheading NORMAN,Okla.(AP) — An Oklahoma man apparently uttered Arabic words during an attack in which he allegedly severed a co-worker’s head, and had “some sort of infatuation with beheadings,” but the killing appeared to have more to do with the man’s suspension from his job than his recent conversion to Islam, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

Alton Nolen, 30, could face the death penalty after being charged with firstdegree murder in the attack Thursday that authorities say appears to have been an

act of revenge for a co-worker’s complaint that got him suspended.

The FBI also is investigating the attack, given Nolen’s interest in beheadings and a recent surge in Middle East violence.

“There was some sort of infatuation with beheadings.

It seemed to be related to his interest in killing someone that way,” Cleveland County Prosecutor Greg Mashburn said. “Other than that, it seemed to be related to his being suspended earlier in the day.”

caster CCTV said all Hong Kong residents should support authorities to “deploy police enforcement decisively” and “restore the social order in Hong Kong as soon as possible.”

The student leaders have played a key role in organizing the protests to press for greater electoral reforms. The demonstrations pose the stiffest challenge to Beijing’s authority since China took control of the former British colony in 1997.

Lester Shum, vice secretary of the Hong Kong Federation of Students, said the students would welcome an opportunity to speak to a Chinese central government official.

Obama seeks traction on economy amid foreign tests WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s escalating military campaign in Iraq and Syria has drowned out the economic pitch he hoped would help salvage a midterm election that has been favoring Republicans.

But the airstrikes against Islamic State extremists have also introduced a new complicating factor into the fall campaign, forcing both sides to reassess their closing political messages.

Obama is drawing new attention to the nation’s recovery from the Great Recession with a speech Thursday at Northwestern University, linking U.S. stature abroad to economic strength at home. It is a delicate argument for a president whose handling of pocketbook issues remains unpopular and who acknowledges many have not benefited from the upturn.

Senior administration officials insist that unlike George W. Bush in 2002, Obama does not plan to make national security and the threat of Middle East extremism the centerpiece of his message for the homestretch of the fall campaign. Yet they acknowledge the matter will be impossible for Obama and Democrats to ignore.

“You’d like to be able to be talking about the economy in September, but this is a really important piece of business for the president of the United States to do,” said Jennifer Palmieri, the White House communications director. “I don’t think it’s time lost.”

Republicans, too, have had to confront the new dynamic posed by the airstrikes.

Wes Anderson, a Republican pollster advising several candidates in close contests, said Obama’s job approval ratings appear to have improved after his military campaign against the Islamic State group. But he said voters still disapprove of his job combating terrorism.

“So they are telling us they like the fact that he’s doing something they think he should be doing,” Anderson said. “But they don’t trust him on the issue.”

One of Anderson’s Senate candidates, North Carolina state Rep. Thom Tillis, has a new ad accusing incumbent Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan and Obama of keeping quiet while the Islamic State threat grew. “The price for their failure is danger. To change direction, we have to change our senator,” the narrator says.

LAKESIDE Will septic tests be required?

Continued from Page A1 “One of the things that keeps popping up is the idea of dredging, but dredging is incredibly expensive,” he said, noting it would cost more than $16 million to dredge the lakes’ shoreline.

“At $90,000 the tax district would collect (annually) ... it would take 177 years to save up enough money to pay for it.”

The WID committee has steered too far from the septic issue, he said. Since there’s little to no precipitation during the summer, there isn’t any runoff from surrounding agricultural land. He said that leaves only one cause of the algae outbreaks: the properties directly on the lake.

Instead, the committee is in the weeds — literally.

Bishop said while failing septic systems likely contribute somewhat to the algae outbreaks, the district should also look at beating back weeds and sedimentation.

Lakeside Mayor Dean Warner said his city council is also against the proposed district. The vote on a memorandum of understanding keeps getting tabled to look at alternatives.

“After more discussion and public input ... (the council) expressed strong opposition to the formation of a water district,” Warner said of Thursday’s council meeting.

Bishop said the district’s elected board would priori-

tize the lake’s issues and solutions, but Commissioner John Sweet wants a plan now.

“It seems a shame to me that we’re all so close together on this issue and yet we’re miles apart,” Sweet said. “It’s difficult for us as a commission to impose something on citizens when we don’t know where it’s going.”

Litts agreed a plan needs to be in place before it’s put to a vote.

“We need to get the septic issue taken care of first as our No. 1 priority,” he said. “I’m tired of swimming in someone else’s poop all the time.”

But if you have mandatory septic inspections and find some not in compliance, “are you going to kick out the 90year-old grandmas who can’t fix their septic systems?” said Commissioner Melissa Cribbins.

Commissioner Bob Main worried voters would quash any ballot measure for a tax increase, as they’ve done in Curry and Josephine counties.

County counsel Josh Soper said Oct. 14 is a safe deadline for the committee to bring a final proposal to the commissioners for ballot consideration.

“I’m realizing the only way it’s going to get done is if we do it ourselves,” said committee member Debbie Newman. “For years it’s been talk and talk and talk to get something done. It’s just been talk. For the first time, I’m seeing steps being taken to get the lake cleaned up.”

After hours of questioning Tuesday, it remained unclear what and when Pierson and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson knew about the incident. The Secret Service is part of the Homeland Security Department.

Three days after the breach, Johnson described it as “events on the North Lawn of the White House.”

No one has been fired or demoted since the Sept. 19 White House intrusion.

Pierson said she was conducting an internal review to determine the facts.

POT May have effect on patients Continued from Page A1 handful of qualifying conditions, such as pain or cancer.

Their names are included in a cardholder registry maintained by the Oregon Health Authority.

By contrast, Initiative 91 allows anyone 21 and older to possess up to eight ounces of pot and grow up to four marijuana plants. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission would oversee the retail market for recreational marijuana and anyone 21 and older could purchase up to an ounce of pot, which would be taxed.

Alex Rogers, who owns a medical marijuana clinic in Ashland and has organized informational conferences about the state’s burgeoning marijuana industry, speculates that if pot is legalized, medical marijuana will eventually fade away.

“It’s the beginning of the end,” said Rogers, who said he will vote for the initiative.

Organizers of Initiative 91 have tried to deliver the message to opposite Oregon’s medical marijuana community, insisting that the program will not be affected by legalized pot.

They repeated the pledge to a gathering of dispensary owners in Portland late last month. At one point during

the private event, Anthony Johnson, chief petitioner for the initiative, asked a reporter for The Oregonian to leave, saying the presence of the press prevented a “frank and open” conversation between the campaign and medical marijuana dispensary owners.

“I think what they are afraid of is that word will get out that some of us are not for this law,” said Bee Young, who owns Wickit Weedery, a Springfield dispensary and attended the campaign event. “That is what they don’t want people to hear, that we have concerns.”

In Washington, advocates for Initiative 502 offered a similar reassurance to that state’s medical marijuana community.

“And literally that was untrue,” said Hilary Bricken, a Seattle attorney whose practice focuses on marijuana businesses. “Although in theory it may have been true, once I-502 went through, the Legislature immediately said, ‘What about medical marijuana? Why is it not regulated? Why is it not taxed? Do we really need it?”’

Said Bricken: “It called into question the legitimacy of medical marijuana and the need for two systems.”

Unlike Colorado, where a regulated medical marijuana program runs alongside the recreational one, Washington only regulates its recreational marijuana industry. The state is home to medical marijuana dis-

pensaries, but they aren’t subject to state oversight.

Bricken predicts that a new recreational pot industry will want the medical program to face the same regulations. Oregon’s recreand ational growers producers of marijuanainfused edible products, for instance, may push for rules for their largely unregulated counterparts in the medical industry, she said.

“The recreational industry is going to go, ‘What the hell? We are heavily regulated and you are telling me the gray market competition is going to undercut me?”’ she said. “They will lobby for it.”

Vivian McPeak, a longtime cannabis advocate and executive director of Seattle Hempfest, said he voted against Washington’s legalization initiative in 2012, calling it “one of the hardest votes in my life.”

McPeak opposed the law’s impaired driving standard, its ban on home cultivation of recreational marijuana and he worried about the implications for the state’s medical marijuana program. (Oregon’s law, by contrast, doesn’t impose an intoxicated driving standard for marijuana.)

Even now he’s torn.

“This is complicated stuff,” he said. “There is no way to change 80 years of bad prohibition policy. If it happened today, I might actually vote for it.”

Oregon legalization advocates argue Washington is different. First, Oregon

already has a regulated medical marijuana dispensary system. And, said Portland lawyer Leland Berger, the Oregon Legislature generally supports medical marijuana, setting it apart from Washington, where policymakers have considered a series of medical marijuana reforms, including doing away with patients’ ability to grow their own cannabis.

“We are determined to not make the same mistakes that Washington made,” said Berger.

Kris Hermes, spokesman for Americans for Safe Access, a Washington, D.C.based medical marijuana patient advocacy group, said the organization doesn’t oppose recreational marijuana laws, but worries about their effect on patients. Medical marijuana for instance, patients, shouldn’t have to pay the same taxes on marijuana purchases as recreational consumers, he said.

“Taxes that are imposed on adult (recreational) users are significant and onerous for patients who may be low income or unable to afford that extra cost on a medication that is already in many cases prohibitively expensive,” said Hermes.

Morse, the Southwest Portland dispensary operator, said even though recreational marijuana means uncertainty for the future of medical marijuana, he’ll vote for legalized pot this fall.

may have come in contact with the virus to visit a doctor and she warned against alarm in the community.

“We don’t want to get a panic going,” said vice president Roseline Sayon. “We embrace those people who are coming forward. Don’t let the stigma keep you from getting tested.”

Frieden said he didn’t believe anyone on the same flights as the patient was at risk.

“Ebola doesn’t spread before someone gets sick and he didn’t get sick until four days after he got off the airplane,” Frieden said.

Four American aid workers who became infected in West Africa have been flown back to the U.S. for treatment after they became sick. They were treated in special isolation

facilities at hospitals in Atlanta and Nebraska. Three have recovered.

A U.S. doctor exposed to the virus in Sierra Leone is under observation in a similar facility at the National Institutes of Health.

The U.S. has only four such isolation units, but Frieden said there was no need to move the latest patient because virtually any hospital can provide the proper care and infection control.

The man, who arrived in the U.S. on Sept. 20, began to develop symptoms last Wednesday and sought care two days later. But he was released. At the time, hospital officials didn’t know he had been in West Africa. He returned later as his condition worsened.

Bobcats grab lead in Sunset volleyball race

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

REEDSPORT — After several seasons trying to catch Reedsport in the league title race, Myrtle Point’s volleyball team put itself at the top of the Sunset Conference standings by sweeping the Braves on Tuesday.

“I’ve never beat them,” Myrtle point setter Morgan Newton said. “It feels so good.

“We’ve always been close. This time we have more confidence to finish games.”

The Bobcats topped the Braves 25-15, 2521, 25-22 to move to 4-0 in the league standings. Reedsport fell to 3-1, tied with Bandon for second place heading into a match

against the Tigers on Bandon’s home court to finish the first half of league play Thursday.

Myrtle Point’s squad, which has just eight varsity players, but significantly all juniors and seniors, has improved not just from last year, but since the start of the season, Myrtle Point’s Grace Hermann said.

“We definitely have grown mentally,” she said. “Our confidence has grown a lot.”

That’s why the Bobcats didn’t panic even after Reedsport built a 17-11 lead in the second game, the only one Myrtle Point didn’t control all night.

“We got down in the second game and we still fought through it,” Newton said.

Newton and Hermann both played key roles in the rally. After a kill by Kayley Leslie gave the Bobcats the serve, Newton served up four straight points, including three aces.

Reedsport still led 21-19 after a kill by Mariah McGill, but the Bobcats got the serve back and Hermann had three straight kills before Christynn Evans finished the game with a stuff block.

Though the score in the third game was close, the Bobcats had a lead of several points until a late rally by the Braves.

Aided by a couple of hitting mistakes by the Bobcats and an ace by Natalie Nelson, the Braves pulled within 24-22, but Evans finished the match with a kill.

Myrtle Point coach Tami Brown singled

out the junior outside hitter for her play.

“She had her best game,” Brown said.

Fortunately for Newton and the Bobcats, Evans is just one of several options the team has for offense.

Hermann pounded 12 kills, Leslie added nine kills and three aces, Evans had eight kills and middle blocker Nicole Seals added three kills.

“It feels good,” said Newton, who finished with 32 assists along with six aces. “Even if we have a bad pass, I always have a safety in the back row. They all can put it down.

“It’s nice. I don’t have to rely on one hitter.”

Pirates, Tigers, & Braves, Oh my!

A month into the season and I’m pretty close to wearing out my welcome at Vic Adams Field.

For the past four weekends I’ve made it out to North Bend High School, and all four of my past Fridays, my eyes and ears have been focused on North Bend’s football team.

No favoritism. It’s just worked out that way with scheduling.

Now, I’m practically on a firstname basis with their concession workers.

And it’s not like North Bend football shouldn’t get its share of attention. The Bulldogs are 4-0 with a bullet, whomping teams by an average of 39.7 points. For all intents and purposes, they’re in the middle of the most promising season I’ve seen SPORTS living on the South Coast and we at The World should offer robust coverage of their 2014 campaign.

But every Friday night — and inevitably seeping into Saturday GEORGE early morning — I give ARTSITAS the game recaps we offer around the South Coast a nuanced and thorough read.

And I promise the Bulldogs are certainly not the only local team of note — or only players for that matter — worthy of praise this season.

Instead of going to watch North Bend try and extend its win streak against Siuslaw to three Friday in Florence — the Vikings 27-21 loss to South Umpqua last week turned a somewhat tantalizing matchup markedly more bland — I’ll be traveling about a dozen blocks from my office to Pete Susick Stadium.

Marshfield will be taking on Douglas, and from what I saw from the Trojans in their 56-6 loss against the Bulldogs last Friday, the 3-1 Pirates should have a solid shot at starting Far West League play 20 (they beat Brookings-Harbor 397 in their league opener Friday).

The kid I’m most intrigued to see play is Pirates quarterback Andrew Sharp, who is 2-0 as a starter after taking over for injured Jake Miles in the middle of Game 2 at Sutherlin. When I saw Sharp last year, he was a special teams stud — I called him a ‘special teams savant,’ which looking back was kind of lame phrasing, but definitely accurate. He’s still returning kicks back for touchdowns — he had one against Cottage Grove in the season opener — but it’ll be great to see how he’s handling the offense as the unquestioned leader.

Lance Grigsby seems to be killing it out of the backfield for Marshfield with Rylee Trendell still nursing a lingering knee injury.

After getting his first reps at running back eight days earlier in practice, Grigbsy went for 170 yards on 19 carries against the Bruins.

Reedsport has turned into a weekly highlight. The Braves are ranked No. 4 in the state according to OSAA, and just as my colleague John Gunther called before the season, seem to be GOOD. The Braves are 3-1 with their only loss coming to Class 3A Amity, the ninth ranked team in state, while standouts like Marquece Williams, quarterback Tyler Tresch and running back Joey Herr consistently make noise in the box score.

Pirates cruise to Civil War sweep

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

NORTH BEND — After Tuesday’s Civil War, North Bend head volleyball coach Les Willett lurched his head up slightly, peered over toward Marshfield head coach Tammie Montiel and started to repeat himself.

“Marshfield is really well coached. And Marshfield is really well coached. AND MARSHFIELD IS REALLY WELL COACHED!” It was a pointed compliment.

Royals open playoffs with wild win KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — It had been 29 years since the Kansas City Royals had last been to the postseason — nearly three decades spent mostly in baseball’s backwater, a small-market organization on a shoe-string budget trying in vain to compete with the big boys.

On Tuesday night, they returned to the game’s grand stage in dramatic fashion.

Salvador Perez singled home the winning run with two outs in the 12th inning, capping two late comebacks that gave Kansas City a thrilling 9-8 victory over the Oakland Athletics and sent the Royals to a best-of-five Division Series against the Los Angeles Angels.

The Royals will meet the AL West champions in the opener on Thursday in Los Angeles.

“We’re going to enjoy this one,” said Eric Hosmer, drenched in champagne, who sparked the final Royals rally with a one-out triple.

“We realize we’re playing a team that had the best record in baseball, but it’s a five-game series and anything can happen.”

After Tuesday night, there is no

Making their first postseason appearance since winning the 1985 World Series, the Royals fell behind by four runs, only to race back with their speed on the bases — they led the majors with 153 steals this season. Kansas City swiped seven in this one to tie a postseason record shared by the

1907 Chicago Cubs and 1975 Cincinnati Reds, according to STATS. The biggest one came in the 12th.

Hosmer scored the tying run on a high chopper to third by rookie Christian Colon, who reached on the infield single and then stole second with two outs.

Perez, who was 0-for-5 after squandering two late chances to drive in key runs, reached out and pulled a hard one-hopper past diving third baseman Josh Donaldson. Colon scored easily, and the Royals rushed out of the dugout for a mad celebration.

Sitting upstairs in a suite, Royals Hall of Famer George Brett put his hands on his head in near disbelief at the frenzied and jubilant scene that was unfolding below.

“It was unbelievable,” Perez said.

So unbelievable that the Kansas City Police took to Twitter with a message for folks across the city, and it was hard to believe that anybody disobeyed the request: “We really need everyone to not commit crimes and drive safely right now. We’d like to hear the Royals clinch.”

For the A’s, it was a stunning and heartbreaking finish. They had the best record in baseball before collapsing in the second half, and needed a victory on the final day of the regular season just to squeeze into the playoffs.

Sports Tigers top Irish in volleyball THE WORLD

By Lou Sennick, The World

Hailee Woolsey and Abby Clough team up on defense at the net for Marshfield as North Bend’s Olivia Peck spikes the ball during their match Tuesday evening.

CIVIL WAR From Page B1 “We had a couple of downers but they picked themselves up,” Willett said.

“They stayed up the whole match and that’s all I was asking for.”

The Bulldogs came away from the match encouraged.

“We wanted to play to our top and the best abilities we have,” said North Bend senior Brooklyn Dunham, who finished with three kills and four digs. “We played our hardest. We knew coming into it that Marshfield is really competitive and we wanted to play to their level.”

For Marshfield, Woolsey led the way with 19 kills and seven digs.

Jensen had 18 assists and three aces while Tavernier

BOBCATS Braves struggle in passing From Page B1 Also fortunately for the Bobcats, Newton didn’t have to worry about bad passes much of the night, especially off Reedsport’s serve.

“In the beginning, our serve receive was terrible,” Newton said. “In practice, it’s all we work on sometimes.”

Myrtle Point’s strengths Tuesday were Reedsport’s weaknesses.

“We had a lot of serve receive errors,” Reedsport coach James Hixenbaugh

had 18 assists and three aces.

Clough had three aces, seven kills and two blocks, but wasn’t too happy with her performance and thought the whole game was “just kinda messy.”

“Honestly that win was very unsatisfactory for me,” Clough said. “I feel like I lost because I’m so disappointed in how I played. All-in-all the team didn’t really pull it together.”

For North Bend, freshman middle Brittany Kubli played outstanding, leading the Bulldogs with seven kills.

Amanda Powley had 16 assists and 10 digs, which impressed Willett coming from the setter position. Codi Wallace also had two kills and two digs.

“The result still wasn’t what we wanted, but the effort was there,” Willett said

of his team’s performance.

“We still have a lot to work on, I told them that, but I think all this is going to do is help us.”

The Pirates move to 11-2 overall and have still only lost four sets on the entire season, in tournament losses against Crater early in September and Creswell last weekend.

The Pirates next host Douglas on Thursday.

North Bend is now 1-2 in the Far West and 2-9 overall.

The Bulldogs host Siuslaw on Thursday.

On Tuesday, with everyone gone and the gym empty, Willett and Montiel sat down and had a personal chat for 10 minutes.

It was very civil.

“It’s always a nice win with the Civil War,” Montiel said. “We were just lucky enough to come away with the victory tonight.”

said, adding up on his stat sheet 22 bad passes. “That’s practically a whole set. That’s like giving them a 7-0 lead every game.”

Reedsport’s offense primarily came from Mariah McGill, who had 12 kills and three stuff blocks. Julia Analco added four kills and two aces. Setter Kaylynn Hixenbaugh had 16 assists.

“We’re just relying on Mariah to do all the work,” James Hixenbaugh said.

When the Braves did manage offense, Myrtle Point was frequently in position to dig up the attacks, especially libero Nikki Miller, who finished the night with 22 digs.

The result left Myrtle Point in control of the league

race nearly halfway through the season.

“This group has been working for three years to get to where they are now,” Brown said.

Reedsport, meanwhile, can help itself get into playoff position with a win at Bandon, though Hixenbaugh said that won’t come easily.

“I told them ... they’re not going to roll over,” he said.

He hoped the Braves, who have several freshmen playing key roles in the rotation, would gain momentum from the match with the Bulldogs.

“I was hoping we’d get a set there,” he said. “Overall, I thought they did OK. “They’re playing juniors and seniors.”

Phelps faces DUII charge THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps was arrested on a DUI charge early Tuesday, and officials said he was speeding and failed field sobriety tests when officers pulled him over.

Phelps, 29, was charged with driving under the influe n c e , excessive speed and crossing double lane lines in the Fort McHenry Tunnel on Interstate 95 in Baltimore, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.

An officer was using radar about 1:40 a.m. when Phelps’ white 2014 Land Rover came through at 84 mph in a 45mph zone, the transportation authority said in a statement.

The officer stopped Phelps just beyond the tunnel’s toll plaza.

Phelps, an 18-time gold medalist, was arrested and taken to a transportation authority station, from which he was later released.

This is Phelps’ second DUI charge in Maryland. The first was in 2004 on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and he received 18 months’ probation and a $250 fine.

NFL Raiders name Sparano team’s interim coach ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders promoted offensive line coach Tony Sparano to interim coach on Tuesday, a day after firing head coach Dennis Allen.

General manager Reggie McKenzie announced the move to Sparano after cut-

ting ties to Allen four games into his third season as coach.

Sparano had a 29-32 record as head coach in Miami from 2008-11. He took over a one-win team in 2008 and led the Dolphins to an 11-5 record and an AFC East title. That was his only winning season and he was fired with three games remaining in 2011.

Sparano has been offensive line coach the past two seasons in Oakland. He is the Raiders’ eighth coach in 12 seasons. They haven’t made the playoffs or had a winning record since winning the 2002 AFC championship.

The Raiders are off this week after losing 38-14 to Miami in London on Sunday for their 10th straight loss, dating to last season.

BASEBALL Atlanta’s hitting coach steps down after season ATLANTA — The changes keep coming for the Atlanta Braves.

Already in the market for a general manager, they’ll have to hire a new hitting coach as well.

Greg Walker resigned from the coaching staff Tuesday, a move that was expected after the Braves struggled through a miserable season offensively.

Atlanta batted .241 as a team and scored only 573 runs, the second-lowest total in the majors. Only seven teams hit fewer homers than the Braves (123), an especially troubling number because the team had the fourthmost strikeouts (1,369) and was supposedly built for power.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL United States sets record for blowout in win Altuve, Morneau join ISTANBUL — Nneka roster for Japan tour Ogwumike scored 18 points to lead the U.S. women’s national team to a record 119-44 rout of Angola and close out preliminary play at the women’s world championship.

The U.S. (3-0) will next play Friday in the quarterfinals against either Canada and the Czech Republic.

The Americans took it right to Angola, scoring the game’s first 12 points. By the time Angola (0-3) had its second basket with 3:36 left in the quarter the lead had ballooned to 24-6 and the rout was on.

The lead kept growing in the second half and the U.S. broke the team record for margin of victory, surpassing its 70-point win over Senegal in 1990.

NEW YORK — Houston’s Jose Altuve and Colorado’s Justin Morneau, the two league batting champions, will be on the roster for the Major League Baseball allstar postseason tour of Japan.

Washington’s Bryce Harper also was added Tuesday for the trip, which includes a five-game series against Japan’s national team from Nov. 12-18 that will be preceded and followed by exhibition games.

Boston’s John Farrell will manage the MLB all-stars.

Seattle’s Robinson Cano, Baltimore’s Adam Jones, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig and the Los Angeles Angels’ Albert Pujols have previously been announced for the roster.

Bandon’s volleyball team topped Waldport 25-8, 27-25, 25-12 on Tuesday.

The Tigers got 13 aces, six kills and 13 digs from Raelyn Freitag in their win over the Irish.

Kate Fereri had four aces and seven digs, Toni Hall had four kills and Kaylynn Pickett had 15 assists and two kills for the Tigers. Maria Nicieza Mendez de Andes added four aces.

“Our serving was so much better tonight,” Bandon coach Courtney Freitag said.

“The second game kind of got away from us. I’m proud of the girls for not giving up and continuing to fight.”

The Tigers improved to 31 in the league standings, which leaves them tied for second with Reedsport.

Bandon hosts the Braves to wrap up the first half of the league season on Thursday.

Panthers top Toldeo: Gold Beach got its first league win, topping host Toledo 259, 25-9, 25-19.

Mountain Valley Conference Eagles edge Devils: Harrisburg tipped visiting Coquille 27-29, 25-23, 24-26, 25-19, 16-14, handing the Red Devils their first loss in the new league.

Coquille coach Dondi Howard said the loss was a learning experience for her squad, especially about how to play in tight matches.

“They learned that you

can overtry,” she said. “You can want something and not just let it happen. They need to just let it happen.”

The Red Devils lost a couple of points where they tried to make a risky play, rather than something they were familiar with.

Still, Howard was pleased with her team’s effort.

“They did fabulous,” she said. “I’m really proud of them.”

Trisha Ray had 19 kills for the Red Devils. McKenna Wilson had 16 kills and 10 digs, Jessica Hall had 32 digs, Bailey Waddington had 30 assists and Esabella Mahlum had 13 kills.

Harrisburg and Creswell are tied for first place in the league at 3-0, while Coquille is 2-1. The Red Devils host Glide in another big match Thursday.

Skyline League Hornets beat Cruisers: Camas Valley beat Powers for the second time in eight days, topping the host Cruisers 2512, 22-25, 26-24, 25-11.

“It was an exciting game,” Powers coach Heather Shorb said. “We played really well, especially the second and third games. We just couldn’t come out with the win in the fourth game.

“I was proud of how they played tonight.”

Emilie Fandel had 10 kills for the Cruisers in the loss.

Riley Middlebrook had 12 assists and 12 digs, Brianna Mowe had five aces, and Kay

Martinez had 11 digs.

Warriors top Pacific: League-leading North Douglas swept the visiting Pirates 25-8, 25-14, 25-4 to stay perfect in the standings.

“North Douglas was a tough team to play against,” Pacific assistant Heather Valentine said. “They had some really good servers and their hits were hard, but the girls had a really good attitude about making that next ball a personal challenge to create a perfect rally.”

Jasmine Hardcastle was the leading hitter for the Pirates and Jessica Martinez led the defense,Valentine said.

Far West League Vikings beat Bruins: Siuslaw beat BrookingsHarbor 25-21, 25-21, 25-14 to improve to 2-1 in league play.

The Vikings are tied with Douglas for second place behind Marshfield.

Trojans tip Lancers: Douglas outlasted visiting South Umpqua 25-22, 17-25, 25-22, 22-25, 15-13.

“The thing I love about these girls is that they never give up,” Douglas coach Carl Bone said. “We were down 13-6 in the fifth game and they just kept working hard and it paid off.”

Darian Mitchell had 16 kills for Douglas. Molly Lavin had 36 assists and Ally Schofield had 46 digs.

Mackenzie Davis had 14 kills and Emilee Mueller and Tiffany Tilton added 10 each for the Lancers.

Bulldogs and Bruins win to set up Thursday showdowns THE WORLD The North Bend and Brookings-Harbor boys and girls soccer teams won their games Tuesday to set up a doubleheader Thursday that will determine the early league lead in both boys and girls races.

The win was Marshfield’s second in league and third overall on the year and strengthened the Pirates’ hold on third place.

“Coquille showed lots of heart and played hard to the end,” Eastwood said. “We will see if we can bring some of the confidence to our next games on Thursday against Douglas.”

Conference play this week Myrtle Point, riding the against Pleasant Hill, and momentum of a 32-19 win with my favorite name on against Glide, plays at Bandon in a vital showdown the South Coast Mo Faith this Friday. Bandon’s throw- getting better from a disloing offense is geared around cated shoulder injury along

with Joe Scolari’s offensive versatility, they should be able to hit stride soon.

Then there’s Powers. The only game I covered all year without North Bend was, ironically enough, still at Vic Adams when the Cruisers beat Yoncalla at the 8-Man Football Showcase in September. Powers is 3-1, and with sneaky-great interviews like Tye Jackson, Jackson Stallard and Devin MacKensen at skill positions, the Cruisers should be fun to watch all year.

Hopefully I get to see them again, in Powers, one day. Just need to save my seat at Vic Adams.

McIlroy earns top PGA honors ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — One incredible month of golf was enough for Rory McIlroy to be voted PGA Tour player of the year.

The award was announced on Wednesday and surprised no one.

McIlroy won the award, which is a vote of PGA Tour members, for the second time in three years.

He joined Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and Nick Price as the only multiple winners of the Jack Nicklaus Award since it began in 1990.

“I’d like to win a lot more in my career, and I feel like I can,” McIlroy said from St.Andrews,

where he is playing in the Dunhill Links Championship.

McIlroy and Jimmy Walker each won three times on the PGA Tour, though the size of the trophy tilted heavily in favor of the 25-year-old from Northern Ireland.

McIlroy went wire-to-wire to win the British Open, rallied from three shots behind on the final day at Firestone to capture his first World Golf Championship, and won the PGA Championship with a sterling back nine at Valhalla.

He became only the seventh player to win the final two majors of the year, and the first since Padraig

Harrington in 2008.

Chesson Hadley of the U.S. was voted PGA Tour rookie of the year.

McIlroy led the PGA Tour with 12 finishes in the top 10, and he never finished worse than 25th. He also won the PGA Tour money title with just over $8.2 million, and he won the Vardon Trophy for the lowest adjusted scoring average.

He won the award over Martin Kaymer, who won The Players Championship and U.S. Open; Masters champion Bubba Watson; FedEx Cup champion Billy Horschel; and Walker.

Sports James joins Miami practice squad

Ducks aim to avenge defeat EUGENE (AP) — Things got ugly for the Oregon Ducks very quickly the last time they played Arizona.

Marcus Mariota was intercepted on the first play from scrimmage. Bralon Addison dropped a pass near the sideline and Arizona cornerback Shaquille Richardson grabbed the carom, flipping it back to teammate Scooby Wright as he was falling out of bounds.

That ended Mariota’s Pac-12 record streak of passes without an interception at 353. The Wildcats would go on to win 42-16 in Tucson, handing the Ducks their first loss to an unranked team since 2009.

It dashed any hope that Oregon still had for a shot at the national championship after an earlier loss to Stanford. It also effectively put an end to a four-year run of postseason BCS bowl games.

So do the No. 2 Ducks want a little revenge on Thursday night when they host the Wildcats? The players have tried to say all the right things about focusing

on themselves and not the opponent, but Keanon Lowe hinted that there was some payback at play.

“It’ll be a fun game, it’ll be a challenging game,” Lowe said. “We got our butts whooped last year so it will be fun to get another shot at them and play on a Thursday night.”

Mariota was sticking to the script that it’s “just another game.”

“We’re not even worrying about it,” he said. “We’ve just got to continue to execute what we have to.”

It wasn’t the first time Arizona had surprised the Ducks. Back in 2007, Oregon was ranked No. 2 and bidding for a national championship when quarterback Dennis Dixon’s injured knee gave out and Arizona won 34-23.

Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said he expects Oregon to be hyped up no matter what has happened in the past.

“I think they’re going to be fired up because there is a lot at stake. It’s a home game, a Thursday night, and their blackout game,” Rodriguez

The Associated Press

Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich and the Ducks face Arizona on Thursday night. said. “I don’t know if last year’s game will be extra motivation. It may be more motivation for preparation, but once the ball is kicked off, what happened last year is in the past.”

The Ducks (4-0, 1-0) had last weekend off after a 37-31 victory over Washington State that many have suggested exposed Oregon’s weaknesses, especially on defense. Injuries on the Ducks offensive line were also evident.

The Ducks used the off week, dubbed “improvement week” by coach Mark Helfrich, to work out the kinks.

Arizona has started 4-0 for the first time since 2010.

The Wildcats haven’t gone 50 to start a season since 1998.

Arizona is also coming off a bye. The Wildcats’ last outing was a 49-45 victory over California — won when Anu Solomon hit Austin Hill on a 47-yard Hail Mary on the game’s final play. The pass has been dubbed the “Hill Mary” Arizona scored 36 points in the final quarter, including 19 points in the final 3:30 alone.

Oregon cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu has studied the film.

“They’re 4-0 and have a great offense and just came off a great comeback win so they’re going to have a lot of confidence and they know what they’re capable of doing,” he said. “They played us great last year and I’m sure they’re planning on trying to do the same this year.”

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Running back and kick returner LaMichael James agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins to join their practice squad.

The deal Tuesday came after James was released Sept. 8 by the San Francisco 49ers, who took him in the second round of the 2012 draft.

The Dolphins have five other running backs under contract, including

Knowshon Moreno, who has missed the past two games because of an elbow injury.

James was frustrated by his lack of playing time with the 49ers and has 41 career carries while averaging 4.5 yards per attempt. He was used mostly on returns, averaging 10.9 yards on punt returns and 28.4 on kickoffs.

James finished third in Heisman Trophy voting in 2010 and 10th in 2011 at Oregon.

Bridgewater might not be ready for game EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.

(AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have not committed to quarterback Teddy Bridgewater playing at Green Bay on his sprained left ankle.

Two days after the injury he was “doing much better,” according to coach Mike Zimmer, but Bridgewater didn’t participate in practice Tuesday.

“If he can play, we’ll play him,” Zimmer said.

Christian Ponder would

start if Bridgewater isn’t cleared.

Zimmer said Bridgewater’s work Tuesday would be more mental than physical. The team planned to have Bridgewater try running on the ankle he hurt against Atlanta in his first career start. Bridgewater said he had yet to throw the ball.

The Packers have said they’re preparing for Bridgewater to play Thursday.

Volquez gets start in big game

From Page B1

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Edinson Volquez’s renaissance began with a simple game of catch.

During his brief session with Pittsburgh Pirates pitching coach Ray Searage on that January day at the team’s training facility in Florida, the talented but erratic right-hander listened as Searage outlined a plan to help the 31-year-old regain the form that once made him an All-Star.

“He felt wanted,” Searage said. “That builds trust.”

Ten months later, Volquez will try to repay that trust by sending the Pirates into the NL Division Series for the second straight year when he starts tonight’s wildcard game against San Francisco.

The raucous scene that awaits Volquez at PNC Park is in stark contrast to his ignominious exit from San Diego last summer, when the floundering Padres released him after a miserable stretch in which his ERA ballooned to 6.01.

“It’s kind of sad a little bit,” Volquez said.

“You feel like your career is over.”

He ended 2013 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he showed minor improvement before hitting the free-agent market.

But most teams hardly seemed interested in signing a pitcher who spent a half-decade struggling with his command and composure.

Yet he found a home in Pittsburgh, where the clubhouse has become an Ellis Island of sorts for players looking to regain something they’ve lost.

A year ago it was left-hander Francisco Liriano, who signed with the Pirates and put together a 16-8 season that included a victory over Cincinnati in the wild-card game. Liriano and Volquez are good friends, and while the $5 million flier Pittsburgh took on Volquez to be a

The Associated Press

Pittsburgh starting pitcher Edinson Volquez answers questions during a press conference at PNC Park in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.Volquez will be the Pirates starting pitcher in today’s National League Wild Card game against the San Francisco Giants. back-of-the-rotation guy raised eyebrows, he remained confident he could make the changes necessary to become competitive.

“People (who) know about baseball, they knew I was really close to getting ready to go,” Volquez said.

Searage tweaked Volquez’s delivery.

Pirates catcher Russell Martin worked with him to set a steady pace during games, often hustling to the mound when Volquez starts working too quickly. When Volquez gets out of rhythm, his mechanics run amok.

“Early on he couldn’t control it. He had elbows and knees flying all over the place,” Searage said. “Now he’s able to control it better. That’s the biggest thing between a major leaguer and a minor leaguer — they basically have the same stuff, but it all comes up to (their mental approach).”

Volquez responded by going 13-7 with a 3.04 ERA in a team-high 32 starts, the lone constant in a rotation that saw Liriano, Gerrit Cole and Charlie Morton spend a significant amount of time on the disabled list.

Volquez went 5-0 with a 1.64 ERA in his last 11 starts, his consistency one of the main reasons the Pirates sent Cole to the mound in the regular-season finale against Cincinnati in a last-ditch bid to win the NL Central.

Cole was brilliant but Pittsburgh lost 4-1, putting its hopes of an extended playoff stay in Volquez’s maturing hands.

It’s the biggest start of his career, but Volquez isn’t exactly sweating it. He spent Monday laying around his house napping.

On Tuesday he traded jokes with other Latin players before playing long toss and shagging flies during batting practice.

“I’ve got to pitch my game and be myself,” he said.

It’s unlikely it can go any worse than his other postseason start. The Philadelphia Phillies tagged Volquez for four runs in 1 2-3 innings during Game 1 of the 2010 NL Division Series when he played for Cincinnati. Phillies starter Roy Halladay threw a no-hitter that day to start a threegame sweep.

Oakland had chances to put all that in the past. Instead, the season ended abruptly for a team that has failed over and over again in the postseason — the A’s lost their seventh straight winner-take-all playoff game since 2000.

“It’s a one-game deal. You know coming in that anything can happen,” said Brandon Moss, who drove in five runs with two homers for Oakland. “I don’t think many of us will go over things in our head very much at all. We may re-watch it but I wouldn’t second-guess anything we did or they did. Both teams went out, put some pressure on the other team, played good baseball.”

Even Yost, who rarely cracks a smile, had to grin after this one.

“That’s the most incredible game I’ve ever been a part of,” he said. “Our guys never quit. We fell behind there in the fifth inning, sixth inning. They kept battling back. They weren’t going to be denied. It was just a great game.”

The Royals trailed 7-3 at one point but scored three runs in the eighth inning and the tying run in the ninth — on a sacrifice fly by Nori Aoki — to force extra innings.

A much-anticipated pitching showdown between Oakland ace Jon Lester and Kansas City counterpart James Shields instead turned into a high-scoring game and a battle of attrition between bullpens.

That seemed to be just fine with the two starting pitchers, who watched in rapt attention after they exited the game as the innings ticked by and midnight approached.

“It was awesome to be a part of,” Lester said. “Loud, good atmosphere, just a good baseball game. The fans, the teams, the competitiveness, the will to not lose.

Obviously, we’re on the bad side at the end but you couldn’t ask for a better game for a one-game, play-in game.”

Or, in the words of Shields, “It was absolutely epic. You don’t write a story like that.”

DILBERT

More ways to slash your food bill Could you use an extra $50 or $100 next week? If you get motivated, there’s a big chance you can slash your family’s food bill by $50 a week without sacrificing health and nutrition.

And that will be tax-free cash you have in your hand ... not money that requires more overtime or a garage sale before you can get your hands on it.

Notice I said “food” bill, not grocery tab. Unless you’re keeping careful track of your spending, you might EVERYDAY know CHEAPSKATE not just how much is b e i n g sucked out for restaurants, fast f o o d , school and busin e s s Mary lunches, Hunt coffee shops and on and on.

There’s not one single way to reduce food costs significantly and consistently. It has to be a combination of strategies: buy right, eat out less, and cook at home more.

Coupons. These days shopping with coupons requires more than clipping them from the Sunday paper. You can still do that, but you need to know how to grab digital coupons, too. Even with the explosion of ways to add coupons to your grocery dollars, lots of people don’t do it because it’s just not their thing. Or they don’t have the right information or knowhow. Two great resources to get you up to speed: 5DollarDinners.com and TheGroceryGame.com.

Think seasonal. We know that fresh fruits and vegetables are necessary for a healthy diet — five servings a day for optimal health. Pound for pound, fresh produce can be much cheaper than fast food, chips, cookies, candy, soda pop or pre-packaged, pre-processed convenience items. There is a catch though. You have to buy what’s in season. How do you know? Look around the produce department. If it’s $4.99 a pound, chances are good that it’s not in season. When apples are 2 pounds for $.99, bananas $.49 a pound and red-flame seedless grapes $1.77 a pound (just took those numbers off my shopping list), you know they’re in season.

There are always bargains in the produce department.

Adjust your tastes and expectations to fit them.

Know your prices. Devise some kind of system that will let you become intimately familiar with the shelf price and sale price of food items you buy on a regular basis. It might be a small notebook you carry, a spreadsheet you maintain in your computer or app on your smartphone. Marketing campaigns take advantage of the ignorance of the buying public.

You need to be smart enough to know a real deal when you see it and also detect a counterfeit.

It’s difficult to find the humor in a sign that announces “Two for $2” unless you know the regular price is $.89 each.

Set limits. Based on what you learn from knowing your prices, determine the per unit price above which you will not spend. For instance, I’ve learned I don’t have to spend more than $2 for a box of cereal.

It’s not always available at that price — but when it is,I stock up to last until the next time.

My personal limit for boneless skinless chicken breasts is $2.79 a pound. Sometimes I get it for less, but won’t pay more; $3.50 for 100 oz. liquid laundry detergent, $1.50 for 16 oz. salad dressing and so on. For the record, I typically count on coupons paired with sale prices to get these prices. However, really great sales can net really low prices, too.

Control portions. Dr. Dean Edell of radio fame and the author of “Eat, Drink and Be Merry” says the healthiest diet is not one that is low-fat or high-carb. The healthiest way to eat is to eat less — small amounts of a large variety of foods. It’s hard work for our bodies to digest and convert food. Dr. Edell maintains that we wear our bodies out prematurely when we over eat. You can learn what constitutes a “portion” on the package label.

A single portion of breakfast cereal is 4 ounces.

Tomorrow morning meas1 ure out ⁄2 cup. Get prepared for that single serving to look a little puny.
