Drug dealer sentenced to 18 months
Pageant winners sent off in style
Previously convicted felon admitted to selling drugs, was stockpiling firearms for world’s apocalytpic end ■
BY THOMAS MORIARTY The World
COQUILLE — A drug dealer caught with dozens of firearms this fall will spend more than a year in prison. Leslie Alan Amsbary pleaded guilty in Coos County Circuit Court on Monday to unlawful delivery of methamphetamine and being a felon in possession of a firearm. The 61-year-old was sentenced to 18 months in prison and will have to spend 24 months under supervision when he’s released. Amsbary was arrested in December when detectives from the South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team and Coos Bay police served a search warrant at his home at 1426 Juniper Ave. They had received a tip that he was dealing out of the house and property near the Milner Crest Education Center. The house is just around the corner from Coos Bay School District offices at the former elementary school. When detectives searched the home, they found 28 grams of meth and more than 2 pounds of marijuana, along with manufacturing and packaging materials. When questioned by police, he admitted he sold drugs. Amsbary also told police he planned to grow marijuana to supplement his income. Another man found at the home, Neal Leon Wisegarver, had an outstanding warrant and also was taken into custody. In addition to the drugs, police found a 9mm Colt pistol and ammunition, which Amsbary, a convicted felon, was barred from possessing. The gun was right where he had been sitting at the time officers entered the house. Amsbary was previously charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and unlawful use of a firearm in 2012 when he allegedly fired a shot into the floor of an Empire-area home during an argument. Detectives discovered even more firearms when they served a second search warrant at a Barview-area storage facility where Amsbary had been renting two units. Inside, they found 21 rifles, which Amsbary told police he was stockpiling for what he believed to be an impending revolution. “No telling when the world (is) going to end,” he told officers.

Oregon gas prices spike
Lawmakers: IRS lost more emails in tea party probe BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press
Unstable Iraq blamed for domestic uptick ■
BY TIM NOVOTNY The World
COOS BAY — This is typically the time of year where gasoline prices start to settle down, but continued uncertainty overseas has them going in the other direction. AAA Oregon/Idaho Public Affairs Director Marie Dodds says gas prices are peaking all over the state as violence in Iraq has intensified.
“The national average for regular unleaded adds two cents this week to $3.66 a gallon, while the Oregon average gains three cents to $3.93, which is the year-to-date high,” she says. Gas prices often decline in June, with the national average falling the previous three years at an average of about 20 cents per gallon. A year ago the national average was turning lower as domestic production and distribution issues eased, although market watchers were keeping a close eye on geopolitical tensions in Syria. While
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service has lost more emails connected to the tea party investigation, congressional investigators said Tuesday. The IRS said last Friday it had lost an untold number of emails when Lois Lerner’s computer crashed in 2011. Lerner used to head the division that handles applications for tax-exempt status. On Tuesday, two key lawmakers said the IRS has also lost emails from six additional IRS workers whose computers crashed. Among them was Nikole Flax, who was chief of staff to Lerner’s boss, then-deputy commissioner Steven Miller. Miller later became acting IRS commissioner,but was forced to resign last year after the agency acknowledged that agents had improperly scrutinized tea party and

Voters flush Gardiner Sanitary District board BY STEVE LINDSLEY The World
GARDNER — All five Gardiner Sanitary District board members were recalled in a special mail-in election Tuesday night. Final unofficial results from the Douglas County elections department show board chairwoman Jackie Degman was recalled by a 31-27, and board members Cathy Kent and Dennis Conger were recalled by the same vote. Board member Charlotte Hinshaw was recalled on a 30-28 vote, and Marc Fullhart was turned away 32-16. Local business owner Mack Holman filed petitions against all five board members. “There were a lot of unhappy people because the board had gone off on its
own for so long,” Holman said last Tuesday. “I mean, they refused to let anyone comment about anything on the agenda. They decided the board should go after the IP (International Paper) plant at, literally, any cost. People wanted things over.” The board, for years, had tried to devise a way to utilize a wastewater lagoon at the former International Paper site north of Gardiner and unhook from the city of Reedsport wastewater treatment plant. The district, however, could not get the funding to hook into the IP lagoon since Douglas County refused to sign off on the loans necessary to shift the system. The board recently signed an agreement with the city to have Reedsport bill GSD customers and had to agree to stay with the Reedsport facility for 10
years. That agreement allowed GSD to acquire $2.5 million in grants from the Infrastructure Financing Authority to upgrade a faulty pipe on the bottom of the Umpqua River, which had seen at least a dozen major spills in the past decade. The grants would also allow for upgrade of the entire GSD collection system. “The board was still talking about going after the IP plant after we had, literally, paid off three-quarters of our obligation to the Reedsport plant,” Holman said. “We’re taking about almost paying off the Reedsport plant and the first thing we do is go millions of dollars in debt for the IP, if we could even get the thing going. The DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) had said, in a public meeting,
that the IP plant ... the pipe, the lagoon, everything ... was worn out.” After Holman gathered the necessary signatures to get the recall on the ballot, all five board members missed a five-day deadline to file statements — responses to the petition that would have been printed in the ballot. Under Oregon law, when a majority of the members of a board have been recalled, as is the case in Gardiner, “the vacancies shall be filled promptly by the county court of the county in which the administrative office of the district is located.” That puts the question of who will be named to the board to Douglas County courts. It’s not known when that process would begin. The election results won’t be final for two weeks.
Four more beds added to THE House BAY AREA Port seeks funding
COQUILLE — Four more beds will be added to the Temporary Help in Emergency House. On Tuesday, Coos County commissioners approved the addition to THE House in Coos Bay. THE House and Coos County Community Corrections reached an agreement to house parole and probation clients at the center when needed. The agreement runs for the entirety of the 2015 fiscal year, giving community a $1,700 corrections monthly bill. Community corrections
every night.
R E P O R T S director Mike Crim said THE House will be able to maintain staffing levels with the additional funding. Community corrections may underuse or overuse its four allotted beds, but THE House will receive $1,700 monthly no matter what. THE House director Robin Pace previously told The World the shelter sees more people during spring and summer. On average, 10 to 12 people stay there
for rail bridge rehab COOS BAY — The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay is applying for funding to fix up Coos Bay Rail Link bridges after state funding was pushed back. The Port received $10 million from the state legislature last year to continue the rail line’s rehabilitation. The availability of those funds is based on lottery bond sale revenues, therefore that $10 million won’t be available until third quarter 2015.
To meet Federal Railroad Administration bridge load ratings and inspections by the 2017 deadline, the Port needs to continue bridge rehabilitation this summer. It’s pursuing interim financing from the Oregon Business Development D e p a r t m e n t ’ s Infrastructure Finance Authority until the state funds are released next year. The IFA application requires letters of support from the three counties the rail line passes through: Coos, Douglas and Lane county commissioners have all approved letters of support.

Fees by forest owners may alienate public Weyerhaeuser’s latest strategy for wringing maximum income from its Pacific Northwest forests — charging fees for access — is the obvious outcome of the merger in the late 20th century of most community-based logging operations into a few giant multinational corporations. In Clatsop County, a 14,400-acre tract of forest bound by Highways 26, 202 and 103 near Jewell will require a fee of $155 every six months. A maximum of 125 permits will be issued. The initial permit period runs from Aug. 1 through Jan. 31, 2015. Weyerhaeuser is headquartered in Washington state, where it acquired vast forests a century ago in a still-controversial collaboration with the Northern Pacific Railroad. For decades, it made so much money by harvesting timber it acquired for $6 a acre that charging fees never crossed executives’ minds. But in the 21st century, Weyerhaeuser and other large timberland owners regard themselves not as logging companies, but as investment firms that owe shareholders a duty to make money from land in every feasible way. Weyerhaeuser didn’t have much of a presence in Oregon until it acquired Willamette Industries in 2002 in a hostile buyout. Willamette was well regarded here for its generous tradition of corporate citizenship. Weyerhaeuser has made little effort to live up to that example. Under long-established laws, all landown-

The more complex question is whether Weyerhaeuser and other forest owners are politically smart to alienate taxpayers, voters and legislators. The Daily Astorian
Rural Oregon shouldn’t face mental health issues alone Eastern Oregon is not immune to the dangers of mental illness. But it does have a dearth of mental health professionals. And that can exacerbate the problem — when people in need don’t seek help and there are a lack of professionals available to serve those who do. There are stigmas on both sides that are currently keeping the needy and the providers apart. First, the stigma in seeking mental health care.No one would ever fault someone seeking treatment for a broken leg or a serious disease, but we can begrudge or look down on a person
seeking treatment for their mental well-being. They can be considered “mentally weak” when we wouldn’t dare consider that person with a fractured fibula as “leg weak.” But there is also a stigma on the other side of the coin. Professionals are rarely willing to move to smaller cities. They face significant financial burdens. And if you aren’t in the bigger urban areas, colleagues just don’t think you are up to snuff or are suspect for embracing a place where you can be isolated. That certainly isn’t true. We hope both sides find some middle ground. And we also hope rural Oregonians can shed the stigma that surrounds mental health issues. East Oregonian
Oregonians haven’t joined the ‘state of Jefferson’ bandwagon Voters in two Northern California counties have declined to join the thundering herd calling for the formation of a new “state of Jefferson,” proving that common sense has not entirely departed from the region. Meanwhile,
most of the clamor for secession seems to be coming from south of the state line. The sentiment behind the recently rediscovered movement is not hard to understand. The predominantly rural counties are suffering financially after the decline of the timber industry, and voters feel ignored by lawmakers in Sacramento, where the state legislature is dominated by representatives of big-city districts who focus on big-city problems. Leaving aside the fact that secession would have to be approved in both state legislatures and in Congress — a virtual impossibility — there is one big problem with the concept of carving a new state out of portions of Southern Oregon and Northern California: money. Even if secession were approved, the new state would instantly become the poorest in the country when the flow of dollars from Sacramento and Salem dried up. Thinking the new state would just make up the difference with all those public-land resources now “locked up” by bureaucracy and regulation? Think again. That bureaucracy and regulation is federal — and the land would remain federal, even within a new state. All of this could explain why the secession idea hasn’t gained much traction north of the border, but not why so many Northern Californians have embraced it. Maybe it’s something in the water. (Medford) Mail Tribune
A child’s scary online world What is the most shocking takeaway from the story of the two 12-year-olds who repeatedly stabbed their friend — nearly to death — on the imagined orders of a fantasy character? Is it the preteens’ apparent disconnect from the truth of what they were doing? One of the assailants childishly described her actions to police in their comfy Milwaukee suburb as “stabby, stab, stab.” Is it the girls’ seeming belief in the reality of a cartoonish character known as Slenderman, a faceless being in a tie, jacket and hat? The girls reportedly found him on a harmless-fun-sounding website called Creepypasta Wiki. Slenderman resembles the Invisible Man, played with evil lunacy by Claude Rains in a 1933 movie. “Slendy,” as his “followers” call him, exists in an online subculture in which fans elaborate on a legend. (His creator,Eric Knudsen, says he’s “deeply saddened” that his character inspired this terrible crime.) Or is the most alarming part of the story that parents in Waukesha had never even heard of FROMA Slenderman, much less HARROP that this fictional presence had become an obsession Columnist of their sixth-graders? The most jarring item in this list has to be this last one. Heartless crimes fueled by delusion are not new. In the ‘70s, the infamous “Son of Sam” shot and killed six people in New York, he said, on the orders of a neighbor’s dog. From what we know so far in the Wisconsin case, the girls, charged as adults with attempted murder after stabbing their friend 19 times, haven’t shown they understand the seriousness of their actions. One told police in a fairy tale cadence: “The bad part of me wanted her to die. The good part of me wanted her to live.” And as already noted, there isn’t anything especially realistic about Slenderman. What makes this case very modern is that the parents seemed unable to act as intermediaries between their children and their children’s darkest fantasies. And how could they when the imaginings were hidden in their kids’ online lives? The fairy tale goblins of yore were passed on through books the parents read — or at least put on their shelves. When the Creature From the Black Lagoon appeared on the television screen the family shared, the parents could say, “He’s not real.” In a paper-based past, evidence of an unhealthy fixation, written or drawn, would be found strewn around a child’s bedroom. There would be comic books. Young people might reveal their preoccupation in semipublic phone calls, not messages quickly tapped out and silently sent by electronic means. I offer no answers here. It’s hard to expect parents to monitor the every interaction of children approaching adolescence. And how many could find these deep cyber-recesses if they wanted to? Furthermore, how many would have seen danger in a fascination with such a silly character as Slenderman? (Some might have seen value in the creative activities he seemed to spawn.) As I said, no easy answers here. These days, we are communicating in less physically public ways. Banning teens from participating in the online culture would seem impractical, unfair and a handicap to their development. Perhaps this is just a repeat of those rare but awful crimes involving children in the past, with a 21st-century update. Perhaps. But these girls should be studied carefully.
Letters to the Editor Charter could fix government All countries’ constitutions are the fundamental law of their nation and each is uniquely different. Due to the experiences and reasons for coming to this new land our founders chose a republic form of constitution for our nation. Our Constitution was set forth as a representative form of government with fundamental law to control the federal government and give equal treatment to all citizens. Over time the citizens allowed the Washington, D.C., career politicians to ignore the Constitution and create a spider web of unelected administrators over departments which have created special interest rules and regulations. Thus our federal gov-
ernment has became controlled by those individuals who selectively benefit from the citizens’ assets and labor. Unfortunately, the Oregon Constitution has suffered the same fate. We are ruled by special interests making special interest administrative regulations and rules which control our assets and our labor. We here in Coos County are, however, lucky because one part of our Oregon Constitution remains intact — we can vote to have a Home Rule Charter. Here in Oregon that is the same as a constitution and,as long as it does not go outside of Oregon fundamental law, it is the fundamental law of the county. In 2011, some citizens got together and decided to utilize this wonderful tool. They created a document unique to their expe-
riences with local government and what they felt were the needs of their county. They called it “Voice of the Voters.” Thus, the 2012 Home Rule Charter on the 2012 ballot. While the 2012 “Voice of the Voters” charter did not become law it did acquaint many citizens with what a home rule charter is and how it can assure them a voice in their community. In 2013, many Citizens told ARRRG (Americans for Responsive, Responsible, Representative Government) that they would like to have more of a voice in a 2014 Home Rule Charter. Thus ARRRG set, through emails and radio ads, the entire month of January 2014 as time for citizens to make as many suggestions as they wanted and all would be sent to the attorney. Many people responded. The
outcome is your “Voice of the Voters” 2014 Home Rule Charter. It is set for the November ballot and will be available, for free, at many local locations soon. ARRRG’s only request is that you read it and vote! Jaye Bell Coquille

Hilary Clinton and the ‘warmth’ gap As Hillary Clinton prepares to run for president, she should remember the words of her husband’s campaign theme song in Stop” by “Don’t 1992: Fleetwood Mac. “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here It’ll be better than before Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone.” As Bill Clinton knew very well, American politics is always about the future, not the past. Yesterday’s gone. Hillary Clinton’s new book, “Hard Choices,” is a detailed account of her years as secretary of state. But it tells voters little about the questions that concern them the most: Who is she,really? Remember, Clinton has run for president before and lost. She lost to Barack Obama, who deeply understood the power of stories and told them very well. That’s true for candidates as well as presidents. Clinton’s book focuses on policies — toward Russia and China, Syria and Iraq. And of course “that’s important.” But it’s not how most voters choose a president. They want to gauge her tone and temperament,

her character and values. And Hillary Clinton has always faced a warmth gap. A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll just before the 2008 campaign tried to measure this gap. Fiftythree percent gave her positive marks on “experience and competence,” but her rating fell to 44 percent on “values and character” and 39 percent on “warmth and compassion.” Obama was certainly taking a sexist slant when he cracked during one debate, “You’re likable enough, Hillary.” He was also identifying one of her biggest weaknesses — then and now. Likability alone is not enough, however. It has to be combined
with the quality mentioned by Obama: the ability to convey “a sense of unity and purpose and optimism.” Look at the three most successful politicians of this era. Ronald Reagan told his favorite story a million times, about the boy who saw a pile of manure and immediately grabbed a shovel, saying, “There has to be a pony in there somewhere.” Corny, yes, but that story captures an essential American quality: a spirit of resilience and hopefulness, “especially during tough times.” Bill Clinton learned a lot from Reagan. His campaign video in 1992 was called “The Man from Hope,” and he reveled in his “Comeback Kid” nickname. Obama learned from both of them, adopting the resonant slogan “Hope and Change” and telling countless stories about his mother, who depended on food stamps, or his grandmother, who faced gender discrimination. How often did he and Michelle talk about straining to pay off their student loans? All those tales made a powerful point: We understand your lives. We’ve faced the same problems. We’re just like you.
By contrast, Hillary in 2008 liked to say, “I grew up in a middle-class family in the middle of America in the middle of the last century.” Not exactly “The Man from Hope.” Her book contains a few, such as signing a memo “MOTB,” Mother of the Bride, as she juggled plans for daughter Chelsea’s wedding while negotiating with China. Or binge-watching the TV series “House of Cards” with Bill. She also offers a moving tribute to her mother, who suffered through a childhood marked by “trauma and abandonment” and went to work as a housekeeper and nanny at age 14. Expect to hear a lot more about her mother — and daughter and grandchild — once the campaign heats up. But in interviews about the book, she stumbled on a personal question, telling Diane Sawyer on ABC that she and Bill had been “dead broke” after leaving the White House. Technically true, but the Clintons quickly wiped out their debts by earning millions in book deals and speaking fees. So the question remains: Can Hillary convince the country there’s a pony in there somewhere?

Oregon coordinated care expands to state workers

Steve Reid, research director, shows a test plot of grass that DLF Pickseed in Philomath, is supplying for use at the World Cup in Brazil. Reid said DLF’s PhD perennial ryegrass mixture has been over seeded on every field that will be used during the World Cup tournament, being held in Brazil.
Oregon grass seed helps out on World Cup fields TANGENT (AP) — DLF Pickseed will have its grass seed on familiar ground during soccer’s World Cup games. Only this time, it will cover a lot more area — as in all of it. Steve Reid, research director for the company, said DLF’s PhD perennial ryegrass mixture has been overseeded on every field that will be used during the World Cup tournament, being held in Brazil. DLF, an international company that has its U.S. headquarters and numerous research facilities in Linn and Benton counties, seeded specific fields during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but this time around it is the only distributor. “There are 12 venues for the World Cup in Brazil,” Reid said. “Most of Brazil’s fields are Bermuda grass-based, overseeded with various DLF perennial ryegrasses.” DLF shipped 300,000 pounds of seed in April and it was dispersed among the soccer fields as soon as it arrived. The games began last week. The tournament will feature 64 matches in all, featuring 32 teams from all
over the world. DLF began working with FIFA, the international organization that manages the World Cup, on managing and developing pitches there almost as soon as the 2010 events ended. Reid said DLF varieties matched the environment in Brazil. The fields will likely rest three days between matches, getting water and fertilization as needed. Conditions in the stadium have been modified to meet the ideal. “Some will have artificial lights in shaded areas of the stadium to keep it as close to perfect as it can get,” Reid said. A training seminar was conducted in March to detail final field preparations and maintenance before the World Cup. The fields will be mowed daily — they are cut under an inch, according to Reid — and will be top-dressed with sand for divots. Each stadium has a pitch that will range in size from an acre to an acre and a half. Grasses were tested first with trial mixtures at DLF’s Philomath research site. Reid said 18 different mixtures were tested before deciding
which to use. “We looked at every possible environment, so we have a pretty good idea of what the components can handle,” Reid said. Additional tests were conducted at DLF’s Kentucky facilities, which provided climate closer to that of Brazil. International testing also took place. “Grasses need to be tough for this climate: Heat resistant, disease tolerant and wear tolerant,” Reid said. There will be plenty of need for all those properties. DLF has a machine that simulates wear from various types of cleats that athletes use. “It’s extreme,” Reid said. “It will provide more of a pounding than the grass will see at the World Cup.” The goal, Reid said, is to create grass that will “withstand a pounding and support the athletes.” Outside of the World Cup, Reid said the company doesn’t seed a great number of athletic fields, but it’s an area that company plans to explore further. He said DLF seed is used at Dodger Stadium and the University of Kentucky.
Latest federal plan for Columbia salmon challenged GRANTS PASS (AP) — Conservation groups and salmon advocates have challenged the Obama administration’s latest plan for making Columbia Basin dams safe for salmon. The challenge was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Portland against the National Oceanic and A t m o s p h e r i c Administration’s Fisheries Service, which oversees salmon protection, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which operate the dams. It was the seventh challenge since the lawsuit was originally filed in 2001. Joseph Bogaard of Save Our Wild Salmon said the plan is “virtually indistinguishable” from the one
overturned by a federal court three years ago. A federal judge rejected that plan because it relied too heavily on habitat-restoration plans that were not specific. Bogaard said efforts to develop a better plan through collaboration, rather than litigation, were rebuffed. NOAA Fisheries said in a statement that the agency has made “clear and demonstrable progress in rebuilding salmon and steelhead runs throughout the Columbia Basin,” and it expects progress to continue. “We are not surprised, but we are disappointed at the prospect of yet another cycle of litigation, which only distracts from imple-

PORTLAND (AP) — Elements of Gov. John Kitzhaber’s effort to improve the health care system are expanding from Medicaid patients to state employees and their families. A board that oversees benefits for state workers on Tuesday approved new rates that were negotiated with insurance companies. Insurance companies agreed to adopt changes required of the coordinated care organizations that oversee Medicaid coverage for the poor. Insurance companies covering state workers will have to collect data on the quality of health care delivered to their customers, and they’ll eventually have to show improvements. Since he re-entered the governor’s office in 2011, Kitzhaber has been trying to improve care and lower costs in the health care system. He persuaded state lawmakers and the federal government to create coordinated care organizations for Medicaid, and he celebrated Tuesday’s move as the first expansion of that effort into the private insurance market. “The exciting thing about this is not only are we going to provide better care at a lower cost for state employees, but this is the first step in bringing this care model” to private insurers, Kitzhaber told The Associated Press. The decision by the Public Employees’ Benefit Board affects health care for state workers and their fami-
Ashland paying residents to replace thirsty lawns STATE D I G E S T
ASHLAND (AP) — In Ashland, city officials are trying to reduce water demand by offering residents rebates on their water bills if they replace sprinkler-irrigated lawns with less-thirsty landscaping. The city averages 20 inches of precipitation a year but it’s in the middle of a drought. It depends on the snow pack for its water supply, water demand more than triples in the summer, and snowfall was so light last winter the local ski area didn’t open. City officials say that droughty conditions are moving north from California, so they’ve adapted the idea of rebates from that state and others in the Southwest. Under Ashland’s plan, converting a lawn of 3,000 square feet could result in a $1,500 rebate.
Big load to slow I-5 traffic Wednesday night
COTTAGE GROVE (AP) — The Oregon Transportation Department says drivers should expect Interstate 5 delays late Wednesday night between Cottage Grove and Sutherlin as an oversized load moves through the area. The agency says that between 10:45 p.m. and midnight Wednesday, northbound traffic could be delayed as long as 45 minutes. Southbound traffic is likely to be delayed for a half hour. The big load is a massive dam gate bound for the Folsom dam near Sacramento, Calif. When loaded onto a 142Lakeside, died June 7, 2014.

Cold, wet Chicago hikers rescued BEND (AP) — A Deschutes County sheriff’s officer says two women hikers from Chicago who called for help along the Pacific Crest Trail in central Oregon have been rescued. Deputy Liam Klatt says 29-year-old Johannah Hail and 23-year-old Andra Sturtevant had been hiking a 500-mile section of the trail from Willamette Pass, bound for Mount Rainier in Washington. Klatt says they encountered a large snow field Monday and decided to turn around. They had been using their phone as a GPS device but the phone died and rainy weather kept them from using their solar charger. A rain storm soaked all their equipment Monday night and they awoke Tuesday to snow. Klatt says the two were able to charge the phone sufficiently to call 911 for help.

lies, about 130,000 people. Insurance companies with contracts to serve state employees will have to report data such as emergency room utilization and the rate of screening for colorectal cancer. In future years, a portion of their payments will be tied to improvements in those metrics. The state is also pushing insurance companies to contract with so-called patient-centered primary care homes, which are clinics that coordinate care between mental health and medical providers and provide easy access to appointments. The combined premium for full-time employees and the state will range from $911.95 to $1,441.25 per month, depending on the insurance plan chosen and the size of the family covered. Employees will pay 3 percent of the premium if they choose the cheapest plan available to them or 5 percent for all other plans — an effort to lower the state’s overall insurance bill by encouraging workers to choose cheaper options. Public-employee unions welcomed the results. “We’re pleased that we’ve been successful in providing more options, bending the cost curve, helping the state budget and also providing some economic benefits to members,” said Paul McKenna, research director for the Service Employees International Union Local 503 and the incoming chairman of the benefits board.

Should we lease or purchase a new car? Dear Cheapskate: My wife and I are having a disagreement. I want to lease a new car now because ours is old and paying for repairs is like flushing money down the drain. She wants to keep it until we can afford to buy a better car. I hate car trouble and think peace of mind is something to be considered. I’m sure we can afford the payment but she’s not. What should we do? — James R., Alabama Dear EVERYDAY James: I’d CHEAPSKATE r a t h e r shove toothp i c k s under by fingernails than ever lease a new car again, which is a Mary story for another Hunt time, but enough about me. Here’s my advice to you: Do whatever you must to keep the old car running for now. But for the next 12 months live as though you are making $300 monthly lease payments — but make those payments to yourselves. Don’t even think about being late, just as if you were under a stern leasing contract. At the end of a year you will have two things: A good idea of your comfort zone for big lease payments and $3,600 cash. Now you’ve got options. You can sell the clunker and, together with the cash, buy a better used car or you can make a down payment on a newer car. To me, buying a car is far better than jumping into a lease where you will spend a fortune and have nothing, not even a car, to show for it at the end of the lease period. Thanks for writing and for calling me “Cheapskate.” I love that because, as you may know, I used to be a worldclass spendthrift, and that nearly ruined my life. Learning to live frugally turned my life around, so I wear that cheapskate moniker with pride and joy. Dear Mary: I’m so confused by laundry products, particularly detergents. Are powders better than liquid? Is the word “ultra” just hype? Thanks. — Cindy P., Pennsylvania D ea r C i n dy : Here’s the scoop on laundry detergent: Typically the word “Ultra” means the product has been concentrated to fit into a smaller box. The problem is, unless you read the label and carefully measure and experiment to find the least amount that works for you, you’ll probably dump in the same amount you have in the past. Not good. A product that has fabric softener added isn’t going to clean or soften as well, but generally is cheaper than buying two different products. If a product says it has more stain fighters, it contains enzymes to dissolve stains better, but you’ll still have to pretreat heavy stains. Detergents with enzymes usually cost more than those without. Typically, liquids detergents are more expensive and work better on greasy stains, but the cheaper powdered detergents are better on clay dirt and mud stains. Both liquid detergent and liquid bleach will get a boost and work better if you add one-half cup of baking soda to the wash cycle, which means it’s possible you’ll be able to use less detergent. This is only cost effective when your soda products are less per ounce than the detergent. And now for my superduper laundry detergent savings secret: I make my own laundry detergent. Seriously. And it’s so cheap — about 5 cents per wash load. It has no perfumes or mystery ingredients and works better than any commercial laundry products I’ve purchased in the past. Give it a try. I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised! Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630. Include your first and last name and state.

Ukraine president offers cease-fire
D I G E S T Michael Jace due in court for arraignment LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Michael Jace is scheduled to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday for arraignment on a murder charge filed after his wife’s shooting death last month. The actor, who played a police officer on the television series “The Shield,” did not enter a plea during his initial court appearance last month. Police say Jace shot his wife April multiple times in the family’s Los Angeles home on May 19 while their young children were present. The boys were unharmed and are now living with relatives. Police have not released a motive for the slaying but have said they are looking into whether financial or other domestic issues may have been involved. Jace’s attorneys have said the case is still in its early stages and their investigation is ongoing.
Work ban puts focus on Gulf labor rights DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An annual midday work ban goes into effect this month across much of the Arabian Peninsula to protect construction workers and outdoor laborers from the risks of direct sunlight and extremely high temperatures during the hottest summer months. The ban, which stands out as one of the most strictly enforced laws aimed at protecting migrant workers in Gulf Arab countries, sheds light on the often difficult working conditions for millions of expatriate laborers who make up the bulk of the workforce here. They provide the manpower to build highrises, shopping malls, highways and other megaprojects construction sweeping through the region.
Pakistanis flee tribal area as curfew eased BANNU, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani officials say hundreds of families have begun to leave a northwest region where the military is carrying out an offensive after a curfew was eased. Dil Nawaz Khan, an official with the disaster management authority for the tribal regions said it did not have an exact count of the number of refugees who left Wednesday after the curfew was eased but estimated it was hundreds of families. An estimated 63,000 left the North Waziristan tribal region before the offensive began Sunday, fleeing previous airstrikes and from fear of a larger offensive.
Break-in highlights gun-possessing clergy
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — The Ukrainian president Wednesday announced a plan to end the fighting in eastern Ukraine, promising a unilateral cease-fire after discussions with the Russian and German leaders, a potential major development to bring peace to the country. Petro Poroshenko’s plan would offer pro-Russian insurgents in the eastern provinces that form the nation’s industrial heartland a chance to lay down weapons or leave the country. It could also help ease the worst crisis between Russia and the West since the Cold War, which was triggered by Moscow’s annexation of Crimea that followed the ouster of Ukraine’s pro-Russia president. Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed a possible cease-fire in a phone conversation with Poroshenko late Tuesday, the Kremlin said. Poroshenko also discussed his peace plan with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, their offices said. “The plan will begin with my order for a unilateral cease-fire,” Poroshenko told reporters in Kiev. “I can say that the period of the ceasefire will be rather short. We anticipate, that immediately after this, the disarming of the illegal military formations will take place.” He said that those who lay down arms and haven’t committed grave crimes will

Lavrov had said he would never speak again to Deshchytsia after he joined in an obscene antiPutin chant as he tried to calm protesters who besieged the Russian Embassy in Kiev last weekend. Poroshenko didn’t say when the cease-fire could be declared, but the country’s defense minister, Mykhailo Koval, was quoted as saying it could begin “literally within days.” Poroshenko has said previously that a cease-fire should follow securing the The Associated Press border with Russia, and Miners march during a rally in support of peace in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, on Wednesday.

Deadly brawl is latest test of self-defense laws DENVER (AP) — A Colorado prosecutor said he’s frustrated that the state’s “Make My Day” law prevents him from charging a man who killed an during a acquaintance drunken brawl that spilled into his home, becoming the latest test to self-defense gun laws nationwide. The New Year’s Day shooting involving “foolish, drunken children” likely was not what lawmakers had in mind when they adopted Colorado’s law, Mesa County Pete District Attorney Hautzinger said. It protects homeowners from prosecution for using deadly force when someone illegally enters their home and there’s reason to believe that person will commit a crime. Self-defense laws like Colorado’s have received renewed attention recently after deadly shootings in Montana, Minnesota and Nevada. After a six-month investigation, Hautzinger decided last week not to file charges against Joseph Hoskins, 36, in the death of Randy Cook, 47. After a night of drinking at a party in the western Colorado city of Grand Junction, Cook and another man went to fight Hoskins

Darren Cook, center left, thanks friends and family of Randy Cook for their support at a candlelight vigil at the old Mesa County Courthouse in Grand Junction, Colo. A single gunshot can be heard on a handheld video that helped persuade Mesa County prosecutors not to file charges in the fatal shooting of Randy Cook. outside his house. The fight moved inside and to Hoskins’ bedroom, where the homeowner said Cook tried to snatch away his shotgun. Hoskins tackled Cook and shot him, according to Hoskins’ account of the night, which was relayed to investigators through an attorney. “These grown men, otherwise basically upstanding, law-abiding citizens, are acting like drunken children, and as a result, a good man got killed, and I can’t hold anyone accountable for it in the criminal justice system,” Hautzinger told The Associated Press.
He said Cook apparently had no involvement in an ongoing Facebook feud between Hoskins and the other man that had been brewing for days before they decided to square off. “It sticks in my craw to be unable to hold Joseph Hoskins accountable for his actions,” Hautzinger said.“But it’s not a very close legal call.” Hoskins did not return calls seeking comment, and his attorney, Terry Ryan, said he could not talk about the case. Beginning with Florida in 2005, at least 22 states have
expanded the self-defense principle known as the “castle doctrine,” the premise that a person has the right to defend their home against attack. Colorado was not among them. The broadened laws say the doctrine can be applied to confrontations outside the home, with language such “stand your ground” and “no duty to retreat.” The laws make it easier for a person to shoot someone and avoid prosecution by saying they felt an imminent danger, which has increasingly placed the burden on prosecutors to prove selfdefense did not occur, said Steven Jansen, vice president of the Washington, D.C.Association of based Prosecuting Attorneys. “It has created an increase in investigation and an increase in frustration among prosecutors when trying to make decisions,” he said. “You have to proactively anticipate that self-defense is going to be claimed.” The concept came under national scrutiny in the 2012 shooting of an unarmed Florida teenager, Trayvon Martin, by a neighborhood watch volunteer who was following him. George Zimmerman was acquitted last year after arguing selfdefense.

Investors to seek clues from Fed WASHINGTON (AP) — A stay-the-course message is expected from the Federal Reserve on Wednesday after it ends a two-day policy meeting. The Fed will likely approve a fifth cut in its monthly bond purchases because the job market has steadily strengthened. But no clear signal is expected on when the Fed will start raising short-term interest rates from record lows. The meeting will end with a statement outlining the Fed’s plans. The central bank will also update its economic forecasts, and Janet Yellen will hold her second news conference since becoming Fed chair in February. The Fed got some further cause for discussion just before it started this week’s meeting with a report Tuesday of a surprising jump in consumer inflation. Yet most economists aren’t altering their view that the Fed’s first rate increase is at least a year away. Analysts cautioned that that time frame could change if inflation were to accelerate.
CIA facing gaps in Iraq WASHINGTON (AP) — The CIA and other spy agencies are scrambling to close intelligence gaps as they seek ways to support possible military or covert action against the leaders of the al-Qaidainspired militant group that has seized parts of Iraq and threatens Baghdad’s government. The lack of clear intelligence appears to have shifted President Barack Obama’s immediate focus away from airstrikes in Iraq because officials said there are few obvious targets. However, officials said no final decisions had been made and suggested Obama ultimately could approve strikes if strong targets do become available. As the U.S. intensifies its intelligence collection efforts, officials are confronting a diminished spying capacity in the Middle East, where the 2011 departure of U.S. troops and the outbreak of civil war in Syria left large swaths of both countries largely off-limits to American operatives.

Experts say that the recent turmoil in Iraq is likely to prevent that trend from repeating this year. “AAA predicted that drivers would pay relatively high prices for gasoline this summer, with the national average ranging from $3.55 to $3.70 a gallon and Oregon’s average from $3.75 to $3.99,” Dodds said. “However, these The Associated Press prices could climb higher if President Barack Obama speaks about the capture of Libyan militant suspected of killing Americans in unrest in Iraq escalates or Benghazi, during his visit to TechShop in Pittsburgh, Pa., on Tuesday.

His capture marks the first apprehension of an alleged perpetrator in region.” The Oregon average could the 2012 attack that killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

It condemned the seizure in a statement read on television Wednesday. The statement said: “The government stresses its right to try Abu Khattala on its territories and according to its laws.”

Minutes into the procedure, he took some heavy breaths and blew air out through his lips as if snoring. There was no visible movement minutes later. Wellons was pronounced dead at 11:56 p.m. EDT Tuesday. Winfield took four or five deep breaths as the drug was injected at 12:01 a.m. CDT Wednesday, puffed his cheeks twice and then fell silent, all in a matter of seconds. He was pronounced dead at 12:10 a.m. CDT, a spokesman for the Missouri Department of Public Safety said. Before his execution, Wellons said he hoped his death would bring peace to
the family of India Roberts, a teen neighbor whom he raped and murdered in suburban Atlanta in 1989. “I’d like to apologize to the Roberts family for my crimes and ask for forgiveness,” he said. Winfield was executed for a jealous rampage in 1996 in which he shot three women in the head. Arthea Sanders and Shawnee Murphy died, while Winfield’s former girlfriend, Carmelita Donald, survived but was blinded. Winfield had fathered two of Donald’s children. Winfield declined to make a statement Wednesday. Florida inmate John Ruthell Henry, who was convicted of killing his estranged wife and her son, is scheduled to be executed at 6 p.m. EDT Wednesday at a prison in Starke, Florida.

Nine executions nationwide have been stayed or postponed since late April, when Oklahoma prison officials halted the execution of Clayton Lockett after noting that the lethal injection drugs weren’t being administered into his vein properly. Lockett died of a heart attack several minutes later. Georgia, Missouri and Florida all refuse to say where they obtain their drugs, or if they are tested. Lawyers for Wellons and Winfield had challenged the secretive process used by some states to obtain lethal injection drugs from unidentified, loosely regulated compounding pharmacies. Georgia and Missouri both use the single drug pentobarbital, a sedative. Florida uses a three-drug combination of midazolam hydrochloride,

GOP pushes for trial at Gitmo
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Georgia and Missouri have carried out the nation’s first executions since a botched lethal injection in Oklahoma in April revived concerns about capital punishment. Neither execution had any complications. noticeable Another execution, the third in a 24-hour span, is scheduled for Wednesday evening in Florida. Georgia inmate Marcus Wellons, 59, who was convicted in the 1989 rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl, received a single-drug injection late Tuesday night after the U.S. Supreme Court denied his late appeals. About an hour later, John Winfield, 46, was executed in Bonne Terre, Missouri. Winfield was convicted in the 1996 killing of two women.

President Barack Obama called “the full weight of the American justice system.” The Benghazi attacks, and the Obama administration’s conduct in the aftermath, have long been a source of festering political discord. And some Republicans on Capitol Hill were quick to voice skepticism about the administration’s plans to try Abu Khattala like a civilian. They urged the administration to get as much intelligence out of him as possible before anyone reads him his rights to remain silent, supplies him with a lawyer and prepares him for trial in a U.S. courtroom. In fact, Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said interrogation of the Libyan already was underway and “we hope to find out some positive things.” Some Republicans said Obama should be sending Abu Khattala to the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, instead of U.S. soil, so that he could be interrogated at length. “The president is more focused on his legacy of closing Guantanamo Bay than

IRS Techs knew of loss months ago Continued from Page A1 other conservative groups when they applied for taxexempt status. Documents have shown some liberal groups were also flagged. Investigators from the House Ways and Means Committee interviewed IRS technicians Monday. The technicians said they first realized that Lerner’s emails were lost in February or March — months before they informed congressional investigators, said a statement by two top Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee, chairman Dave Camp of Michigan and subcommittee chairman Charles Boustany of Louisiana. The two lawmakers called on the Justice Department to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the IRS, something Attorney General Eric Holder has declined to do in the past. “It looks like the American people were lied to and the IRS tried to cover up the fact it conveniently lost key documents in this investigation,” the statement by Camp and

Boustany said. “The White House promised full cooperation, the commissioner promised full access to Lois Lerner emails and now the agency claims it cannot produce those materials and they’ve known for months they couldn’t do this.” The IRS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “It is unfortunate that the IRS experienced equipment failure that resulted in several computers crashing and some email data being lost from Lois Lerner’s hard drive between 2009 and 2011,” said Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, the top Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee. “But every equipment failure is not a conspiracy. The IRS has taken every step to restore the data, and has already retrieved the emails sent internally during that time period from nonimpacted computers.” IRS Commissioner John Koskinen was scheduled to testify before the Ways and Means Committee on Friday. He was originally scheduled to appear next Tuesday, but the hearing was moved up because of a scheduling conflict. The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Koskinen to testify at a rare evening hearing Monday.

Vaughn advances in Oregon Amateur
The World Cup could use a little caffeine
THE WORLD It’s the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and ... zzzzzzz. We’re smack-dab in the middle of the two week dalliance Americans have every four years with soccer, so typically, sports fans are coming out of the woodwork to proclaim their undying love to an event they conveniently forget during the 1,447 Vuvuzelaless days in between. The World Cup has become a personal obligation. I’m supposed to be a good sports fan, so I need to watch it. But since when has something being important demanded my attention? If that were the case, I’d watch C-SPAN regularly and change my smoke alarm batteries on time. But I don’t, because I’m an American. So why should these two weeks be any different? I’ve tried so hard in the past to enjoy it. This is my sixth World Cup I’ve been old enough to SPORTS remember. In the past five, my favorite memory was when France’s Zinedine Zidane went fullrhino and headbutted Italy’s Marco Materazzi in the 100th minute of the GEORGE 2006 final. My second ARTSITAS favorite? Does every time it’s over count? Certain mini-traditions I do like reliving. The three vertical stripes adidas subliminally plasters everywhere is aesthetically pleasing for me. I like seeing names with umlauts on the back of the eastern European team’s jerseys. I love the way the Italians do their demonstrative gesturing to the referees. Oh, and you refer to players by their nationality in an accidentally pseudo-racist way. “The Americans are destroying the British. Again.” And the single-name Brazilians. They never stop delivering. You know how funny the name Kaka was for my adolescent years? It was hilarious then and it’s still funny now. But after that, I’m over lying to myself. My World Cup interest is entirely artificial. During the Olympics, I don’t try to pretend to know what I’m talking about. I just watch archers arch, hurdlers hurdle and weightlifters juice. I don’t get that luxury with the World Cup. It’s too important internationally to not keep up with. Instead, all my sports fan buddies dive into these disingenuous soccer conversations that, honestly, would make everyone sound stupid if an actual soccer fan was eavesdropping. And I’m as guilty as anyone. I throw out jargon. I say “pitch” and “match” and “dribble” and “tackle.” I called an own goal and “OG” over the weekend like I knew what I was talking about. But I’ll be honest, I get all my soccer information from playing the video game FIFA. And if we’re being really honest, I think the majority of 20-something dudes in my demographic with Gap V-necks and Cristiano Ronaldo quaff haircuts do, too. The irony is that I live in a tremendous soccer area. I think there’s a fair argument to make that both North Bend’s boys and girls teams are the most promising programs on the South Coast. They both made the state semifinals this past season and will return last year’s two Far West League MVPs — Ian Bream and McKenzie Edwards. But they do nothing for me the next two weeks. Instead, I get to watch the only popular sport where the play clock runs up. (International sports have no flair for suspense. It must be why the world imports all our action movies). As much as I’ve tried to distance myself, I did catch the kickoff of USA vs. Ghana on Monday. I was lucky enough to watch Clint Dempsey’s opening goal, and I’ll admit, it was exhilarating. The only problem is now I know how long my World Cup attention span is: 31 seconds. Maybe at the next World Cup in Qatar, I can get up to a full minute. Then I’d be a real sports fan.

US turns attention to game vs Portugal BY RONALD BLUM The Associated Press SAO PAULO — After arriving back at their rooms at 4:45 a.m., victorious American players skipped breakfast Tuesday, slept late, went for medical tests and turned their attention to Portugal. The U.S. opened the World Cup with a thrilling 2-1 win over nemesis Ghana on John Brooks’ 86thminute goal. But Jozy Altidore, Clint Dempsey, Matt Besler and Alejandro Bedoya all got hurt to various degrees. Altidore, taken off on a stretcher after straining his left hamstring, appears unlikely to play against the Portuguese this weekend. “We’ve got to see how he now reacts the next couple days,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “We’re full of hope that he comes back still in this tournament.” Players hope to become the first American team to win consecutive World Cup games since a 2-0 start at the very first tournament in 1930. “Woke up today, this morning, and you look at your Instagram and Twitter and you see the videos that people posted,” Bedoya said of fans back home celebrating Brooks’ goal. “It’s really cool, and I’m sure everybody feeds off this energy.” The match drew 11.09 million viewers on ESPN, a record for men’s soccer on the network. And after decades when U.S. soccer fans felt outnumbered — even at home games — players took notice of the
14 killed at WCup view site in Nigeria DAMATURU, Nigeria (AP) — Hours after a suicide bomber detonated explosives packed into a tricycle taxi at an outdoor World Cup viewing site in northeast Nigeria, police said the death toll was 14 with 26 people wounded. Witnesses said the tricycle taxi was driven into the outdoor area in Damaturu, capital of Yobe state, soon after the Brazil-Mexico match started Tuesday night. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but Boko Haram, an armed Islamic group that wants to turn Nigeria into an Islamic state, was suspected. raucous red, white and blue-clad crowd at Arena das Dunas in Natal. “It was an incredible feeling, the support we had from the fans in the stadium along with the fans in every part of the country. We felt that,” said midfielder Graham Zusi, whose corner kick was headed in by Brooks. “It just makes me want more of it.” But before the next game, the U.S. needs to heal a little. Dempsey, who set the tone when
he scored 30 seconds in, had his nose broken by a shin to the face from defender John Boye when they battled for a header. Klinsmann expects him to play Sunday in the Amazon rain forest capital of Manaus. “I don’t know how much a mask can protect him,” Klinsmann said. “It was tricky during the game. He barely could breathe. He struggled with that. But once it’s broken, it’s broken. It will take time to heal completely.” Dempsey will be paired up front either with Aron Johannsson, who was ineffective as Altidore’s replacement, or Chris Wondolowski. Besler, like Altidore, went for an MRI. The defender felt soreness in his right leg late in the first half and was replaced by Brooks for the start of the second. “Matt is no problem. All fine for the next game,” Klinsmann said. Bedoya was hobbling before Zusi replaced him in the 77th minute. He said he had a hip pointer, the reoccurrence of an old injury, then also cramped up in his hamstring. Portugal also has injury issues and will have to change the right side of its defense. Pepe was ejected in Monday’s 4-0 loss to Germany after he appeared to head butt Thomas Mueller. Right back Fabio Coentrao was taken off on a stretcher and forward Hugo Almeida limped off.

Qualifier, 11, just wants to have fun BY DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press
PINEHURST, N.C. — With pigtails and plenty of giggles, Lucy Li just wants to have fun like any 11-yearold girl. Except that she’s playing the biggest event in women’s golf. Li, a sixth-grader from the Bay Area who doesn’t appear to be the least bit overwhelmed by the attention around her, became the youngest qualifier in U.S. Women’s Open history when she shot 68 at Half Moon Bay last month to win her sectional by seven shots. She celebrated by having dinner at her favorite restaurant and watching “The Amazing Spiderman 2.” Now it’s time for the amazing Lucy Li show. “She looks so darn cute,” said Michelle Wie, who didn’t make it to her first Women’s Open until she was 13. “I was like, ‘I don’t think I looked that cute when I was 11.’ But she just looks so excited, so wide-eyed. ... And I’m just really so excited for her to be out. It’s a memory that will last her a lifetime. What other 11year-old can say that they played in the U.S. Open at Pinehurst? And she got to see the men play, too.” Life is moving at warp speed for little Lucy Li. She only became serious about golf four years ago when she set up shop in Miami to work with Jim McLean. Just two months ago, the precocious 11-yearold with a mouth full of braces won her age division in the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt Championship at Augusta National. And now she’s at Pinehurst No. 2, ready to take on the course where Martin Kaymer won the U.S. Open on Sunday. “It’s awesome, right?” she said. “I mean, Pinehurst
Former Reedsport standout Monica Vaughn tied for second in qualifying for this week’s Oregon Amateur golf tournament at the OGA Golf Course in Woodburn. Vaughn shot even par for the two rounds, finishing behind just defending champion Kendall Prince, who finished at 3-under. The match play portion of the tournament starts today, with the women needing to win five matches over four days to take the title. Vaughn tied current University of Oregon golfer Caroline Inglis for second. The top 10 also features other familiar names Gigi Stoll, Ashlee Pickerell, Haleigh Krause and Lindsay Harmon, all outstanding current or former high school golfers in the state. Vaughn opens against Kelsey Whiles of Brush Prairie, Wash. Ironically, both Vaughn and Prince now play their college golf in Arizona - Vaughn at Arizona State and Prince at the University of Arizona. Both also are former champions in the event. Vaughn won her title in 2010. Montana Frame, another Reedsport graduate, tied for 31st in qualifying for the men’s tournament. Frame, who just finished his freshman year at Southwestern Oregon Community College, shot rounds of 72 and 74 on the par-71 course to join five others at 4-over. Also in that group is Coos Bay resident Tim Tucker, a longtime employee at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort and fixture of the amateur golfing community. Since 64 men reach the match play portion of the men’s tournament, the winner will need to beat six foes over the next four days. Frame opens match play against a past champion, Scott Hval of Portland, who won the tournament back in 1997. Hval’s brother, Tim, was the first head pro at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. Tucker will play Joel Johnson of Portland, another of the players who finished 4-over. University of Oregon golfer Zachary Foushee took medalist honors among the men, shooting a 65 Tuesday to edge fellow Duck Thomas Lim, Oregon State’s Kevin Murphy and two former SWOCC golfers, Justin Kadin and Justin Wiles, by a stroke. If Frame can win his first match, he likely will go against Lim. With a win in his match, Tucker likely would face Foushee in the second round.

The Three Rivers American Legion team struggled over the past two days, losing four straight games as the Sandblasters try to get their bearings for the summer season. On Monday, Three Rivers lost a doubleheader to Willamette Valley, dropping the first game 5-1 and the second 13-9. In the first game, Sandblasters’ Brad Snow pitched a solid six innings, giving up one run and only three hits. Offensively, Andrew Sharp and Tyler Dordan both went 4-for-7. In the second game, John Dodson and Peter Lahti went 2-for-4 and Kyle Springer was 2-for-2. Three Rivers head coach Ryan Fobert said the team has only been together four days,so chemistry and positions haven’t been solidified. “We're still working some things out and trying guys in different positions, figuring out what is going to put us into the best position to win a ballgame,” Fobert said. On Tuesday, Three Rivers was swept again in a doubleheader, this time by the Mid-Valley Rockets out of Albany. The first game finished 13-7 after the Sandblasters gave up eight runs in the ninth inning. Dordan went 3-for-4 while Sharp and Dodson were 2-for-5. The second game was an 5-1 loss for Three Rivers. Snow went 2-for-3 from the plate, while Dordan and Lane Johnson both went 2-for-4. “I think we are coming along,” Fobert said. “Great group of kids, fun to be around, lots of potential that I think once we get everyone there on a consistent basis, we'll have a pretty solid team.”

Diving becomes popular debate

Mexico goalie shuts out Brazil FORTALEZA, Brazil (AP) — Goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa made a series of outstanding saves to help Mexico hold Brazil to a thrilling 0-0 draw at the World Cup on Tuesday. The result leaves both teams with four points each after two games in Group A, but Brazil is ahead on goal difference going into their decisive final matches. Croatia and meet on Cameroon Wednesday for their second g a m e s after both opened w i t h defeats. Ochoa’s f i r s t remarkable save prevented Neymar from scoring in the 26th minute. The Brazil striker’s powerful header looked set to fly just inside the post when the goalkeeper dived to his right to push the ball wide. Ochoa also made three other difficult saves to keep the hosts from breaking the deadlock — a shot by Paulinho in the 44th, a second-half effort by Neymar from inside the area and a close-range header by Thiago Silva in the 86th minute which produced a remarkable block by the Mexico goalkeeper. “It was the match of my life,” said Ochoa, who was visibly moved after the match. “To do it in a World Cup, in front of all the fans, it’s incredible.”
Fans of the Belgian national soccer team cheer after Belgium beat Algeria 2-1, during the match broadcast live on a giant video screen at the Ghelamco soccer stadium in Ghent, Belgium. The Brazil squad tried to focus on the positives after the disappointing draw. Although the hosts couldn’t manage to score, coach Luiz Felipe Scolari and his players said they think Brazil improved from the opening match, staying on track for a successful home tournament. Brazil was outplayed through parts of the match against Mexico on Tuesday, when it was held to a 0-0 draw in the northeastern city of Fortaleza. Scolari said he thought Brazil played better than in the 3-1 win over Croatia in the opener. He says “the result wasn’t what we wanted, but I’m happy with the improvement that I saw from my team.” Russia 1, South Korea 1: Alexander Kerzhakov scored with one of his first touches after coming on as a substi-
tute to earn Russia a 1-1 draw with South Korea on Tuesday in a World Cup match marked by the first big goalkeeping error of the tournament. Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev spilled Lee Keunho’s speculative long-range shot into his own net to gift South Korea a 68th-minute lead at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba in Group H. But Kerzhakov bailed his teammate out, turning in a shot from close range in the 74th — three minutes after coming on as a substitute — to rescue a point for Russia in a poor-quality match. Akinfeev stayed on the ground inside his own net, head in his hands, after making his blunder, clearly embarrassed after dropping what was a routine save from a shot from about 30 yards. He was consoled by a couple of teammates, who patted
him on the back, but could soon join in the celebrations when Kerzhakov equalized soon after. The explosive six-minute spell that featured both goals was not in keeping with the rest of a fairly mundane game characterized by slow buildup play, poor passing and wayward finishing. Belgium 2, Algeria 1: Belgium opened its World Cup campaign with a 2-1 comeback win over Algeria on Tuesday, relying on second-half goals from two substitutes after a tense start in Group H. Algeria opened the scoring with a penalty in the 25th minute and the surprising lead stood for 45 minutes until Marouane Fellaini’s strong glancing header, with his back to goal, from a Kevin De Bruyne cross. Fellaini, who many had considered would start the match, had only come onto the pitch five minutes earlier and was coach Marc Wilmots’ final substitution. Dries Mertens’ right-foot strike beat Algeria’s goalkeeper in the 80th after Eden Hazard saw him free on the right and set him up for the decider.Mertens,who went on at the start of the second half, sent his shot high in the net outside of Rais Mbolhi’s reach. “We knew it would be tough, that there would be no space,” Belgium coach Marc Wilmots said. “We made one error and we paid for it. The bench made the difference. We showed mental strength and we came back.”
now doesn’t mean I should change (team),” McIlroy said. “So I’m very happy with my decision. It means I can look forward to the Olympics in a couple of years’ time — you know, if I qualify, obviously, for the team. “I just thought it was the right thing to do. It was the right time to let everyone know. Now I’m really looking forward to Rio in ‘16.” McIlroy announced his decision ahead of next month’s International Golf Federation meeting that will finalize the eligibility criteria for the 2016 and 2020 Olympics. “There’s no point in delaying it and letting it linger any longer,” he said. “Watching the World Cup in Brazil, thinking about Brazil in a couple of years’ time, it just sort of got me thinking, maybe I should just go ahead and get it out of the way.” Still, McIlroy said, winning an Olympic medal would not match winning a major championship. “The majors in our sport are the biggest and best prizes in the game,” he said. “But as hopefully golf grows in the Olympics and becomes, say, bigger in four or five games down the line,
Remy, who played two seasons with Fred for Lyon from 2006-08. “Experience comes into it, and it’s important to fall at the right time. For me, the striker should be punished for this kind of wrongdoing.” Players can be disciplined later for diving, though Fred wasn’t, and it rarely happens at the highest levels of the sport. In basketball, the NBA has tried to crack down, and its policy was on display during the league’s recent finals. Miami’s Dwyane Wade was hit with a $5,000 fine June 9 for flopping in Game 2 on a foul by the Spurs’ Manu Ginobili. “The ‘soccer dive’ has been perfected by our South American friends,” said Todd Yeagley, a former MLS player and executive who’s now the soccer coach at Indiana. “Unfortunately, diving is utilized by some of our finest attackers to create free-kick opportunities and penalty kicks. The officials have a tall order to determine whether it was a true foul or a wellorchestrated dive. The potential yellow for diving is calculated by many as a risk worth taking to get a key PK call by the official.” It sure appeared that way for Fred in his team’s 3-1 victory. Youth soccer coaches hope youngsters don’t attempt to mimic the World Cup way after watching the tournament. “The diving is certainly translated to the youth game, unfortunately,” said Rob Risley, a former player in the UK and at Marshall University who has coached youth soccer for 15 years, currently at FC Los Angeles. “Players learn to anticipate contact and take that as a foul rather than using their body to protect the ball and work through the contact.”

McIlroy chooses to compete for Ireland in ’16 Rio Olympics CORK, Ireland (AP) — After months of indecision over who to represent, Rory McIlroy announced Wednesday that he will play for Ireland — not Britain — at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The 25-year-old McIlroy, who is from Northern Ireland, was eligible to play for either Ireland or Team GB when golf makes its return to the Olympics in Brazil for the first time since 1904. Having played all of his amateur golf under the auspices of the Dublin-based Golfing Union of Ireland, the two-time major winner opted to stay with Ireland for the Olympics. “I have been thinking about the decision a lot and remembered all the times I represented Ireland as an amateur,” McIlroy said on the eve of the Irish Open in Cork. “I was always very proud to put on the Irish uniform and play as an amateur and as a boy, and I would be very proud to do it again.” McIlroy has twice played in golf ’s World Cup for Ireland, both times alongside fellow Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell. “Just because I’m getting paid to play this great game
SAO PAULO (AP) — Fred denies diving in Brazil’s World Cup opener that led to a disputed, go-ahead penalty kick. France’s Loic Remy considers the fall a disgrace and has called for punishment. The debate over diving began on Day 1 of this World Cup, and it has people everywhere talking about whether simulation is simply part of the game or bad for the sport altogether. Coaches at all levels and players young and old are questioning the motives and sportsmanship of global stars on the sport’s biggest stage — and how such examples of flopping might affect the onfield behavior of the next generation. Even 2012 U.S. Olympic diving coach Drew Johansen is taking notice. “I have been watching the World Cup and have been very impressed with the dives I have seen,” said Johansen, who coaches at Indiana University. “Similar to the sport of diving, it’s all about getting the judges’ (referees’) attention. I think Fred’s use of his arms really got the job done on that dive. I would score at 9.5 on the Olympic scale.” Fred went down in the area under minimal contact from Dejan Lovren in the 71st minute last Thursday, leading to Neymar’s penalty kick that put the Selecao ahead 2-1. A day later, Remy called for Fred to be “punished” for the move — one that incensed the Croatians and put referee Yuichi Nishimura of Japan in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. A furious Lovren scoffed, “We can give the World Cup directly to Brazil.” “He does it well, throws himself at the right time because you can see that there’s no foul at all. Lovren doesn’t pull him back,” said

Most of the Protestant majority is British, most of its Catholic minority Irish. McIlroy, while raised a Catholic, grew up in the predominantly Protestant town of Holywood east of Belfast and once said he considered himself more British than
Irish. His 2012 comments — suggesting he might prefer to join the British team — provoked strong ill feelings from Irish golf fans. McIlroy initially said he might skip Rio entirely to avoid alienating fans further.

it returned to Pine Needles in 2007. Too young? Both went on to win major championships. “Look, if you’re good enough, you’re old enough — or young enough, whichever way you look at it,” Laura Davies said. “If you can play the golf and you can qualify, then have a go. What’s the worst that can happen? She shoots a million this week and everyone says, ‘Wasn’t it great she was here?’ So I don’t think anything bad can come out of it because she’s too young to worry about the pressure. “She’s just having fun. She’s got a week off school. It’s perfect.” Li went nine holes with a local caddie Tuesday. Then, it was time for a press conference, which drew the largest crowd of the day. Her pigtails in braids, held by clips the shape of hearts, she twirled in her chair waiting for it to start. She giggled before just about every answer, including one about whether her father could beat her. She laughed. She laughed again. And then she moved closer to the microphone and said, “No.” But the kid made one thing clear. She’s not out to prove anything. She not out to make history. “The perfect week? I just want to go out there and have fun and play the best I can, and I really don’t care about the outcome,” Li said. “I want
to have fun and learn. I want to learn a lot from these great players.” She is not the youngest player in Women’s Open history. Beverly Klass was 10 when she played in 1967, before there was qualifying. The youngest player to make the cut was Marlene Hagge, who was 13 in the 1947 Open at Starmount Forest in North Carolina. Among the favorites this week is Lydia Ko, the youngest LPGA Tour winner in history at 15 in the Canadian Women’s Open two years ago. Age is becoming irrelevant, though something about the number “11” grabs the attention. “I saw her on the range this morning for the first time and didn’t really watch her hit any balls — just how little she was, and the pigtails kind of caught me off guard,” Stacy Lewis said. “But I’m not a big fan of it. She qualified, so we can’t say anything about that. You qualify for an Open, it’s a great thing. I just like to see kids be successful at every level before they come out here.” Li played in the U.S. Women’s Amateur last year at 10. She was the youngest to qualify for match play at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links. The idea to try to qualify for the Women’s Open was “mine.” “Because I wanted to go out there and get the experience,” she said. “Because it’s 36 holes and I didn’t care if I qualified or not. I didn’t think about it. I just wanted to go for the experience.”

Sports Yankees’ Tanaka continues to roll, winning his 11th BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Masahiro Tanaka gave up a home run to Jose Reyes on the first pitch of the game, then earned his major league-high 11th victory as the New York Yankees beat Toronto 3-1 Tuesday night for their 14th straight home win over the Blue Jays. Brett Gardner hit a tworun homer off the right-field foul pole and the Yankees sent the AL East leaders to their seventh loss in 10 games. Tanaka (11-1) struck out 10 in six innings and left with an AL-best 1.99 ERA. The Japanese rookie has made 14 starts this season — he’s gone at least six innings in every outing and never permitted more than three earned runs. Dellin Betances worked two innings and David Robertson closed for his 17th save. Pitching about 50 miles from his L o n g MLB Island Recap ht oo wm en -, Blue Jays rookie Marcus Stroman (3-2) threw 98 pitches in 3 2-3 innings on a sticky night. Mariners 6, Padres 1: Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer and Jesus Montero got his first big league homer in more than a year to help Seattle sweep a two-game set with San Diego. Roenis Elias (6-5) allowed three hits and struck out six without a walk in seven strong innings. Dominic Leone and Danny Farquhar each pitched an inning in relief. Cano’s fourth home run of the season gave the Mariners a 4-1 lead in the fifth and was enough to chase San Diego starter Eric Stults after the inning ended. Stults (2-9) allowed four runs, six hits and a walk. Red Sox 2, Twins 1: Brock Holt scored both Boston runs, Jon Lester weathered a shaky start and pitched six-plus strong innings as the Red Sox held off Minnesota. Lester (8-7) has a winning record for the first time this season. The Red Sox have won two straight and four of six. After needing 33 pitches to get out of the first inning on a hot, muggy night at Fenway Park, Lester settled down and took a shutout into the sixth. He left with one out in the seventh after striking out six and holding the Twins to
one run, four hits and a walk. Edward Mujica pitched the ninth and earned his second save. Phil Hughes (7-3) took the loss for the Twins, who have dropped four straight. Phillies 5, Braves 2: Ryan Howard homered and Kyle Kendrick won consecutive starts for the first time in 11 months for Philadelphia. The Phillies, winners of two straight and six of eight, got a solid start from Kendrick (3-6), who had gone 2-11 in his previous 20 starts since last Aug. 11. Kendrick allowed six hits and two runs with one walk and six strikeouts in seven innings. Atlanta has lost seven of 11 and 13 of 21. Ervin Santana (5-4) continued to struggle, giving up eight hits and four runs with three walks in six innings. Santana, who struck out five, is 1-4 with a 6.17 ERA in his last seven starts. Brewers 7, Diamondbacks 5: Jonathan Lucroy homered twice, including a grand slam in an eventful seventh inning, to lead Milwaukee past Arizona. Lucroy’s slam to center came on Brad Ziegler’s first delivery after Arizona reliever Evan Marshall was ejected for hitting Ryan Braun with a pitch. Marshall (2-2) took the loss, facing three batters without getting an out after relieving starter Mike Bolsinger, who was called up from Triple-A Reno. Lucroy had a solo homer in the sixth. Aramis Ramirez also hit a solo shot for the Brewers. Kyle Lohse (8-2), who had hit three batters all season, plunked two in his six innings, apparently leading to retaliation by Marshall. Royals 11, Tigers 4: Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas homered as part of a sevenrun second inning, and Kansas City took over first place in the AL Central with its ninth straight victory. Gordon and Moustakas hit two-run shots off Max Scherzer, and Kansas City has won the first two games of this four-game series emphatically. The Royals, who trailed the Tigers by seven games after a May 20 loss, now lead Detroit by a half-game atop the division. Scherzer (8-3) yielded a career high-tying 10 runs in four-plus innings.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka throws to first to put out Toronto’s Dioner Navarro in the sixth inning at Yankee Stadium in New York on Tuesday. Mike Trout homered twice and drove in four runs, and rookie Matt Shoemaker remained unbeaten as a starter as Los Angeles beat Cleveland. Trout’s three-run homer in the fifth broke a 3-all tie and capped a four-run inning. He added a leadoff homer in the seventh. The two-time All-Star was 3 for 5, extending his hitting streak to 12 games, and has reached base safely in 35 of his last 36 contests. Shoemaker (4-1) allowed two runs in a career-high eight innings. The righthander is 4-0 in seven major-league starts, six this season. He also had a careerhigh 10 strikeouts. Marlins 6, Cubs 5: Garrett Jones hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning and Miami rallied to beat Chicago. Adeiny Hechavarria started the Marlins’ seventh with a bunt single for his fourth hit. Rafael Furcal had a twoout, two-run single in the fourth for his first RBIs since 2012. Hard-luck Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija allowed three runs, two earned, in six innings but was again denied a victory. The Cubs are 4-11 when he starts even though his ERA is 2.78. Luis Valbuena’s RBI double in the seventh gave Chicago a 4-3 lead, but Miami rallied against Brian Schlitter (2-2). Marlins rookie reliever Sam Dyson (1-0) pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings for his first career win. Orioles 7, Rays 5: Chris Davis hit a replay-delayed grand slam to lead Baltimore past Tampa Bay. Davis was awarded a slam
off Erik Bedard (3-5) during a five-run third-inning after a video review showed his drive struck the foul pole. He reached second base on an opposite-field shot down the left-field line. The review that lasted 1 minute, 18 seconds revealed the ball hit the pole a few feet above the wall, and Davis was given a home run. The Orioles also got a tworun homer from Steve Pearce. Sean Rodriguez and Desmond Jennings homered for Tampa Bay, which is 5-16 in its last 21 games. Nationals 6, Astros 5: Anthony Rendon doubled twice and drove in three runs, and Washington opened a six-game homestand with a win over Houston. Ryan Zimmerman added two doubles and two RBIs as the Nationals snapped a four-game losing streak. Tanner Roark (6-4) pitched five innings in winning his third straight start. Rafael Soriano worked the ninth for his 14th save. Houston’s Jose Altuve returned to the lineup, going 4 for 5 with two doubles and two RBIs. Dallas Keuchel (8-4) came in 6-1 with a 1.33 ERA over his last seven starts, but struggled with his command. Dodgers 4, Rockies 2: Hanley Ramirez homered before leaving with a hand injury, and Zack Greinke pitched Los Angeles to a win over Colorado. Matt Kemp also went deep and Carlos Triunfel hit his first major league home run after replacing Ramirez. Greinke (9-3) gave up a run and three hits with five strikeouts in six innings, and tied St. Louis’ Adam
Wainwright and Cincinnati’s Alfredo Simon for the NL lead in wins. Brian Wilson pitched a scoreless eighth and Kenley Jansen got three outs for his 20th save. X-rays on Ramirez’s right hand were negative. Cardinals 5, Mets 2: Michael Wacha escaped a pair of jams with strikeouts, Yadier Molina hit his first homer in nearly four weeks and St. Louis won for the eighth time in nine games. Wacha (5-5) gave up a run and five hits in six innings and Molina got his first homer since May 24. David Wright hit his first homer since May 28, and Lucas Duda also connected for the Mets, who have lost 11 of 14. Mets manager Terry Collins batted the pitcher eighth with Eric Young Jr. hitting ninth for the second straight game in an effort to stimulate the offense. During the 14-game slump, the Mets have scored two or fewer runs seven times. White Sox 8, Giants 2: Gordon Beckham and Dayan Viciedo hit two-run home runs, John Danks pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the White Sox snapped a four-game losing streak. The slumping White Sox had managed a total of six runs during their skid. Viciedo, who was just 2 for 23 on the homestand coming in, went 2 for 4. His fifthinning blast ended a stretch of 51 at-bats without an RBI. Danks (6-5) settled down after a somewhat slow start and gave up two runs — one earned — and five hits in 6 13 innings. In his last five
starts, the left-hander is 3-1 with a 1.51 ERA. Hunter Pence went 2 for 4 with a home run for the Giants, who have dropped four straight and seven of eight. Reds 6, Pirates 5: Todd Frazier led off the ninth inning with a tiebreaking homer, lifting Cincinnati past Pittsburgh after the Reds’ bullpen blew a threerun lead. Frazier’s team-leading 16th home run to center field came off closer Jason Grilli (0-2) and gave the Reds third fifth win in six games. Cincinnati (34-35) also got within one game of .500 on its ninth try. Billy Hamilton had three hits and two stolen bases for the Reds, while Joey Votto had two hits and three RBIs. Frazier, Brandon Phillips and Ryan Ludwick added two hits apiece. Athletics 10, Rangers 6: Derek Norris homered and drove in five runs, Stephen Vogt was 3 for 3 with two RBIs and Oakland held off Texas for its third win in four games. Tommy Milone (5-3) won his fifth consecutive decision, matching his careerbest, for the A’s. Milone gave up three runs and five hits over 5 2-3 innings in improving to 5-0 over his last eight starts. He walked one and struck out three. Yu Darvish (7-3) lost his eighth straight to the A’s and the Rangers lost for just the second time in six games. Darvish allowed seven runs — four earned — and eight hits over 5-plus innings. He walked five and struck out eight, including Brandon Moss in the first for career strikeout 600.
Virginia outlasts TCU in 15 at College World Series OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Given the windy conditions and size of the ballpark, TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle wondered if the College World Series game against Virginia would ever end. It took 15 innings, but Nate Irving and Daniel Pinero finally got the job done for the Cavaliers. Pinero’s sacrifice fly scored pinch-runner Thomas Woodruff in the bottom of the 15th and sent the Horned Frogs to a 3-2 loss Tuesday night. It was t h e longest CWS game, as Recap measured y b innings, s i n c e Southern California beat Florida State 2-1 in 15 in the 1970 national championship game. Two other CWS games had gone 15. This game went 4 hours, 51 minutes, making it the fourth-longest by time. TCU pitchers retired every Virginia batter in extra innings before Irving’s fly to left to start the 15th got over Boomer White and bounced over the wall. Woodruff entered as a pinch runner and moved to third on Branden Cogswell’s sacrifice bunt. Pinero fouled off two squeeze-bunt attempts before he lofted a fly to center. Cody Jones’ throw
toward home never had a chance to get Woodruff. The Cavaliers bench and bullpen emptied, with everybody mobbing Pinero near second base. Before that, Schlossnagle said, “I was looking down the bench at our coaches (wondering) how is either team going to score? Until at least somebody comes out of the bullpen and gets tired enough just to leave one pitch up. Irving did a great job of working the count to 3-2. “We had to give in to him with the wind blowing in, and he hit it hard enough and kept it low enough to get over Boomer’s head.” Virginia (51-14), which had a walk-off 2-1 win against Mississippi on Sunday in nine innings, will play Friday in its bracket final. TCU (4817) will face Ole Miss in an elimination game on Thursday, with the winner matched against Virginia again. Artie Lewicki (8-1) got the win with two innings of nohit relief. Trey Teakell (6-1) worked 2 1-3 innings and took the loss. Players on both teams, swinging the restricted bats that entered the game in 2011, struggled to generate any offense with the wind blowing in at up to 30 mph at TD Ameritrade Park. “It’s hard to get offense when you’re facing that kind of pitching, especially ...

After Pinero failed to get a bunt down, he went to his
two-strike approach. “He threw me a high curveball,” he said, “and I stayed back and put it in the air.” Nick Howard, Whit Mayberry and Lewicki shut down the Horned Frogs in
relief of Brandon Waddell before the Cavaliers broke through. “These guys were into it and just trying to find a way,” Cavaliers coach Brian O’Connor said. “You look at the pitching on both sides that was thrown out there. There were some really special arms. It was a matter of someone finding a break.” TCU had been involved in the longest game in college baseball this season less than three weeks ago, when it beat Sam Houston State in 22 innings in regionals. Each team had chances to win before the 15th. Virginia center fielder Brandon Downes threw out Kyle Bacak at third in the 12th, Jones’ diving catch robbed Mike Papi of extra bases in the ninth, and the Cavaliers failed to push a run across after having men in scoring position in the eighth and ninth. TCU left-hander Brandon Finnegan scattered nine hits over eight innings. The Kansas City Royals’ firstround draft pick allowed two runs, one earned, making it the 15th time in 17 starts he has given up two or fewer. Ole Miss 2, Texas Tech 1: Pinch hitter John Gatlin’s single into short right field over a pulled-in, five-man infield in the bottom of the ninth inning gave Mississippi a 2-1 victory over Texas Tech
in a College World Series elimination game Tuesday. The exciting finish came after Texas Tech had tied it in the top of the ninth. Ole Miss (47-20) plays TCU or Virginia Thursday. The Red Raiders (45-20) went 0-2 in their first CWS. Ole Miss won after Colby Bortles walked with one out. Brantley Bell hit a comebacker to Cameron Smith, who tried to force out Bortles at second. But he threw high into center field, allowing Bortles to go to third. Dominic Moreno came on to face Gatlin, with Texas Tech shifting an extra player to the left side of the infield and going with only two outfielders. Gatlin punched a 1-2 pitch over second base, and the celebration was on.

Goodell, Steeler greats honor Hall of Famer Noll PITTSBURGH (AP) — Hall of Fame coach Chuck Noll is being remembered at a funeral mass by dozens of former players and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Noll is the only coach in NFL history to win four Super Bowls while leading the Steelers from 1969 to 1991. He died last week at 82. Steelers President Art Rooney II and Hall of Fame defensive lineman Joe Greene were among Noll’s pallbearers Tuesday. Greene credits Noll as the biggest reason the Steelers were transformed from one of the league’s biggest losers into the “City of Champions” during the 1970s. Hall of Fame safety Mel Blount says “Steeler Nation has lost one of its pillars,” but Noll’s legacy will live on through the lives he touched.

THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 2014 Abandon the dead weight that is holding you back. Learn from past experience and set new goals. Identify what’s important to you and how you can use your skills to suit your dreams, hopes and wishes for the future. Positive action is the answer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You will not get a lot of cooperation today. Be prepared to do as much as you can on your own, without worrying about what others are up to. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You will get along well with others today. Share your hopes and dreams to elicit some interesting suggestions. This would be an ideal time for a getaway. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Money matters appear favorable. Financial aid will appear from an unexpected source. An intriguing offer will lay the groundwork for a change of direction. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Resist the inclination to give up when faced with an obstacle. Don’t let stubbornness lead to a missed opportunity. You will discover that things aren’t as difficult as you thought. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t get flustered by the changes taking place lately. Things will calm down in good time. Ride out the storm and show maturity and leadership. After all, the situation is only temporary.

MARIE LUSK PAYNE; JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION; AND OCCUPANTS OF THE PREMISES, Defendants. TO THE DEFENDANTS:
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You will be rewarded for your hard work. Your skills and common sense are valuable qualities, so make sure you are available to attend as many career functions or get-togethers as possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Get in touch with someone you haven’t seen in a long time. Whether it’s an old business acquaintance or friend, re-establishing the connection will be eyeopening. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If your routine has become too predictable, try doing something new. Consider learning a new skill or language, or look for valuable information that could spark an interesting endeavor. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Bring your feelings out into the open. Let those close to you know what is distressing you. The longer you postpone discussing what’s bothering you, the more difficult it will be to resolve issues. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t reveal a piece of information that was given to you in confidence. It’s time to update your filing system. Sort through all of your documents and purge any that are no longer relevant. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Do your best to be a successful advocate for a worthy cause. Your compassion, coupled with your knowledge and skill, will help you achieve positive reforms.

BRIDGE Robert Fritz, who developed Structural Dynamics, said, “If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want.” I have mentioned before that it pays to pause and consider your options, not just play on autopilot. This deal is another good example. South is in four spades. How should the defense proceed after West leads the heart ace? When you have 5-4-2-2 distribution and the right count for one no-trump, open in your five-card
PUBLISHED: The World - June 18, 25, July 02 and 09, 2014 (ID-20254381)
suit when it is a major. If the fivecard suit is a minor, open one notrump with strong doubletons or when your rebid might be uncomfortable if you start with one of your long suit. Here, if North opens one diamond and South responds one heart, North has an easy one-spade rebid. So North should open one diamond. After South actually bid one spade, North had just enough to raise to four spades. But if North had settled for three spades, South would probably have raised to game, although he might have rebid three no-trump, the game contract that is unbeatable. After taking the first trick, West will continue with the heart king. But what does he do next? There are two answers to that question: Cash the club ace to save the overtrick or take two club tricks! It all depends upon East. He should realize that his side needs two heart and two club winners. So it must be right to ruff his partner’s heart king and shift to a club. As you can see, this is the only way to defeat the contract.
If you have any questions, you should see an attorney immediately. If you need help in finding an attorney, you may contact the Oregon State Bar’s Lawyer Referral Service online at www.oregonstatebar.org or by calling (503) 684-3763 (in the Portland metropolitan area) or toll-free elsewhere in Oregon at (800) 452-7636.
