SIMPSON HEIGHTS Sherman Avenue / U.S. Highway 101

NORTH BEND — The city of North Bend’s attempt to dispel Simpson Heights residents’ concerns over the proposed Jordan Cove workforce housing camp dissolved into groans and eye-rolling. Jordan Cove, Kiewit/Black and Veatch, and Oregon State Building and Construction Trades Council representatives fielded questions from frustrated Simpson Heights residents at an informational meeting Wednesday night. But their jabs were directed more toward North Bend city officials, who they say deliberately left them out of the workforce housing camp’s permitting process this spring. Prior to the meeting, about 20 Simpson Heights and anti-LNG folks protested outside the North Bend Community Center. Jan Dilley, who’s taken the lead on planning an appeal to the Land Use Board of Appeals, held up a sign reading, “We want a fair hearing — not a sideshow.” She wants LUBA to look into North Bend City Council’s dismissal of her appeal of the planning commission’s permits approval for the workforce housing camp. “This is a nonevent,” Dilley said of Wednesday’s

COOS BAY — The city of Coos Bay signed a Disposition and Development Agreement with the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians on Tuesday evening that centers on the nearly 4 acres of bayfront property, at the intersection of Newmark Avenue and Cape Arago Highway in Empire, that has come to be known once again as the Hollering Place. The agreement, which was greeted with applause, sets in motion the process that is expected to lead to major development on that site.

“(It’s a) huge decision,” City Manager Rodger Craddock said Wednesday. “This is the closest we’ve ever been in redeveloping that property.” The Coos Bay Urban Renewal Agency purchased the site in 2001, but it holds even more history to the Native American population. According to documents, “prior to the arrival of the first Europeans, the site was the center for transportation, commerce and communication for local Native American populations. The site was the first European settlement in what would later become Empire City and the first Coos County seat. Hollering Place was the site of the original courthouse, and it overlooked the waterfront.” Last August, the city issued a request for proposals for the site, and the Confederated Tribes

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans chastised the Justice Department on Thursday for failing to share information with Congress about its investigation into the targeting of conservative groups by the Internal Revenue Service. Lawmakers called anew for a special prosecutor to look into the matter. The criticism during a House subcommittee meeting came as Deputy Attorney General James Cole, the Justice Department’s No. 2 official, said the investigation has been broadened to include the disappearance of emails from the computer of Lois Lerner, who formerly headed the IRS division that deals with tax-exempt organizations. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chairman of the subcommittee on Economic Growth, Job Creation and Regulatory Affairs, told Cole that he had “serious

Coos Bay’s Urban Renewal Agency signs agreement with tribe ■

The region has seen severe fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russia separatist rebels in recent days. On Wednesday evening, a Ukrainian fighter jet was shot down by an air-to-air missile from a Russian plane, Ukrainian authorities said Thursday, adding to what Kiev says is mounting evidence that Moscow is directly supporting the separatist insurgents in eastern Ukraine. Security Council spokesman Andrei Lysenko said the pilot of the Sukhoi-25 jet hit by the air-to-air missile was forced to bail after his jet was shot down. Pro-Russia rebels, meanwhile, claimed responsibility for strikes Wednesday on two Ukrainian Sukhoi-25 jets. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said the second jet was hit by a portable surfaceto-air missile, but added the pilot was unscathed and managed to

land his plane safely. Moscow denies Western charges that it is supporting the separatists or sowing unrest in its neighbor. The Russian Defense Ministry couldn’t be reached for comment Thursday about the Ukrainian jet and Russia’s foreign ministry didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment. Earlier this week, Ukraine said a military transport plane was shot down Monday by a missile fired from Russian territory. The rebels are known to possess portable anti-aircraft rocket launchers, but Ukrainian officials say that kind of weapon would have been unable to reach the plane at the altitude at which it was flying. Aviation experts, however, have questioned whether the stricken transport plane was flying at the altitude Ukrainian officials had claimed.

The Hollering Place in the Empire District of Coos Bay could have a very different look in a few years. Coos Bay’s Urban Renewal Agency reached agreement with the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians to begin developing the land on which they intend to build a resort and a number of associated facilities.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — A Ukrainian official said a passenger plane carrying 295 people was shot down Thursday over a town in the east of the country, and Malaysian Airlines tweeted that it lost contact with one of its flights over Ukrainian airspace. Anton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister, said on his Facebook page the plane was flying at an altitude of 33,000 feet when it was hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher. A similar launcher was seen by Associated Press journalists near the eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhne earlier Thursday. The Buk missile system can fire missiles up to an altitude of 72,000 feet. Malaysia Airlines said on Twitter that it “has lost contact of MH17 from Amsterdam. The last known position was over Ukrainian airspace. More details to follow.”

Partnership will go forward as intergovernmental agency BY CHELSEA DAVIS

COOS BAY — For now, the Waterfront Development Partnership will likely function as an intergovernmental entity. The proposed economic and waterfront development agency’s work group reviewed a draft intergovernmental agreement Wednesday morning. “It anticipates the intergovernmental agreement will operate until the end of 2016,” said Oregon International Port of Coos Bay CEO David Koch. “During that time, the Port

will take on the administrative role for the partnership, recognizing that we’re not going to have any money coming in until the end of 2016.” The proposed Community Enhancement Plan wouldn’t start receiving Jordan Cove Energy Project’s community

service fee payments until 2016, following the 2015 valuation assessment. After 2016, the agreement would allow the board to continue the organization as either an intergovernmental entity or a nonprofit similar to the South Coast Community Foundation. “In anticipation of the fact that no revenue will be coming to the partnership through community service fees until 2016, the partners would agree that if there are any expenses that occur, each of the four partners would share equally in those,” Koch said. How the partnership would allocate its funds is up to the future board. “I don’t know that this group wants to crystal ball that and tell that group what life is going to be like 10 years from now,” Koch said. County Commissioner Bob Main worried that one member agency could decide to quit the partnership, “take its piggy bank” and run. According to the

proposed IGA, that’s not an option. Just as all four member entities have to agree to create the partnership, all four would be required to dissolve it. Port communications manager Brooke Walton also recommended participation in Urban Waterfronts 2014, The Waterfront Center’s conference in November in Washington, D.C. that brings together planners, designers, developers and more to share experiences and ideas for waterfront development. Koch said he would like one or two people to go to the conference. In the coming weeks, the partnership work group’s members will review and finalize the IGA.

Hospital gives patients access to records online THE WORLD COOS BAY — A new online service, called myCare, is allowing patients at Bay Area Hospital the opportunity to access portions of their health records online. The program “went live” on July 1. Patients can go to the hospital website, bayareahospital.org, and click on the myCare logo to gain access to some of their records. They can view, manage, download and transmit certain medical records, such as lab and radiology results, immunizations and prescribed medications. Brenda Curtner, the hospital’s clinical infomatics manager, says it is all about empowering patients and giving them ownership of their personal healthcare information. “For the first time ever, patients can look at their records whenever they want, with confidence

that their records are secure.” Part of that security includes making it an optional asset for patients. Each patient admitted to the hospital is invited to register for a secure myCare. Outpatients may choose to participate as well, and parents can sign up their minor children for myCare accounts. Bay Area Hospital provides each user a secure user name and password. Physicians and other healthcare providers use a separate secure myCare portal for accessing their patients’ records. Hospital officials say the program has been in development for months, and was built in cooperation with a national vendor that is creating similar online portals for hospitals nationwide. Hospital admissions employees have also been trained to help guide patients through the signup process. “It has gone very smoothly,” said Elizabeth Moss, admissions manager. “Not every patient wants to participate, and that’s OK. But a lot of patients are excited about having online access to their own medical information."

Two charged with assault COOS BAY — Two transients are in jail after sheriff’s deputies say the men reported being shot at by a Coos Bay homeowner whom they assaulted Wednesday morning. Joseph E. Kilingsworth, 27, and Johnny R. Moore, 25, were being held at the Coos County Jail on charges of seconddegree assault. According to the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Moore and Killingsworth had gone to a house on Stock Slough Lane armed with a baseball bat and accompanied by aggressive dogs because they thought the resident had reported them to the BLM as trespassers. The men had been camping on BLM property. Deputies say the pair inflicted extensive head, face and back injuries on the man was able to obtain a shotgun and fire two shots into the air.

How to argue with success Our view For all the visitor and convention bureau has done for the city of Coos Bay, what’s the city’s beef?

What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

The visitor industry seems to be doing well again this year. According to the Coos Bay-North Bend Visitor and Convention Bureau, more than 200 tour buses will make overnight visits to the Coos Bay area this season, including four new tours that are adding to their itineraries the Coos Historical and Maritime Center, the Egyptian Theatre and Oregon Coast Culinary Institute. That equates to about $1 million spent in the community. That’s in addition to another $7 million already spent by travelers in local

lodging. The last comparative study shows overall spending by visitors topping $242 million in 2013, spending that has risen every year since 1991. That spending yielded nearly $63 million in salaries and employed 2,940. The visitor bureau compiles data like this because attracting visitors is its sole reason to exist. The bureau’s purpose is to drum up business and keep visitors and their money coming. And the entities that fund the bureau to reap those visitor dollars — the cities of North Bend and Coos Bay, and the Coquille

Indian Tribe — deserve to know the return on their investment. Indeed, local funding sources seem to be getting at least some bang for their buck. The local lodging tax distribution for fiscal year 2015 breaks down like this: of the $490,000 generated by Coos Bay lodgers, the city gets $350,000; the bureau gets $140,000. In North Bend, the city gets $68,750; the bureau, $27,500. And the Coquille Indian Tribe gets $180,750, while the visitor bureau gets $72,300. And on top of that, the bureau estimates that visitors

spend more than $240 million on local services. Use whatever economic multiplier you want; that’s hundreds of millions of dollars in local residents’ pockets. But at the Coos Bay City Council meeting this week, Mayor Crystal Shoji dropped a minor bombshell with a memorandum that posed the question: Is Coos Bay getting its fair due? Is the city that bears the name of the bay itself being adequately represented in this partnership? Fair question, or hubris? We’ll pose a recommendation of our own on the question this Saturday.

Darkness in the buffer zone BOSTON — “Be careful. This is a dangerous corner.” It’s not until you visit the Boston Planned Parenthood clinic at the heart of the recent Supreme Court buffer-zone case that you realize the unnecessary danger it created. And I’m not even inside. On this particular weekday morning, Mary gives me the heads up, as she does anyone walking by. Along with her practical advice, she will offer people walking into the clinic a pamphlet, rosary or a simple rose. Eleanor McCullen stands in white and black this summer day, the sun blazing down, gently encouraging the youth group that has come this morning to simply pray — and also, later on, hand out roses. One young man’s Spanish came in handy as a distraught Latino father needed a prayer and a friend. The members of this youth group are here to save lives, through prayer, counsel and willingness to walk with scared mothers and fathers — to show that it’s not too late. McCullen stands just a KATHRYN few feet outside of the LOPEZ door of the clinic. She will be the first sight for many Columnist women leaving the clinic, presumably after having gone through with an abortion. McCullen’s presence and what she represents — along with a card bearing her phone number — may just be a great help during the dark moments to come when the implications of that fateful choice gnaws at such women’s hearts and lives. Reading some of the commentary from critics of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Massachusetts buffer-zone case, it’s become quite the convention to believe that somehow McCullen “snowed” the justices into a unanimous ruling. Anyone who believes that should come here, stand on Commonwealth Avenue for a few hours and watch and learn. Just hours before, a coalition of left-wing groups protesting the buffer-zone decision, as well as the Hobby Lobby health-care ruling, organized a rally and protest at Boston City Hall. The general argument was that women’s freedom was being infringed upon. The attorney general who has lost her case defending the buffer zone vowed to undo the damage. The governor promised to protect women outside abortion clinics. Even with the buffer zone eliminated now, some of the praying still happens at a slight remove from the doors of the clinic. But you see the difference that a few feet make when a post-abortion brochure and McCullen’s number are gratefully taken as a woman exits the clinic. Something has happened here, and you see it in the eyes and the very bodies of couples and friends who walk out together. If you didn’t know it was an abortion clinic, you would see on their faces the trauma that such an intimate violence has inflicted. One woman reaches for her iPod as if to drown everything out. What the rally at City Hall and so many protesting the Supreme Court decision seem to be missing is the humanity at the center of this debate. It’s convenient to ignore the lives at stake. But as lives end, those that go on are so often lived alone, mourning, without support or even acknowledgment. People like McCullen, groups like Rachel’s Vineyard and Lumina and other post-abortion ministries and the work and testimonies of women like Anne Lastman, author of “Redeeming Grief,” exist to let women and men know they are not alone. Not as they are going into a clinic, often thinking they have no other choice, and not after they leave, either, having made that most grave decision. That’s not the stuff of political protests, but humanity. The danger isn’t McCullen and the crowd outside the clinic. The danger lies in ignoring their witness. It’s ignoring the people both going in and coming out. Kathryn Lopez is the editor-at-large of National Review Online www.nationalreview.com.

Letters to the Editor Tenmile folks need to decide It’s unfortunate that the Tenmile Lakes work group cannot come to a consensus on the boundaries for a special district to help improve the quality of the water in Tenmile Lakes. As a Lakeside resident, I have followed this issue for some time and strongly believe that non-functioning septic systems are the primary contributors to the degradation of water quality in summer. While I understand there are rules mandating functioning septic systems on all properties, there is no enforcement of these rules, no funds for enforcement. An attempt a few years ago to require inspections and remediation of faulty systems before property could be sold was beaten back by the real estate lobby — complaining about potential loss of sales. If a special “taxing”district will help with this issue, it should be formed. All residents of Lakeside should be included,as well as timber and agriculture interests

whose activities directly impact the lake and quality of the water. We need to stop worrying so much about individual interests and work together for the benefit of all of us. If our lake dies because of this pollution, if people cannot eat the fish, play in or on the lake, it will affect us all — residents and business owners alike, not just those who live on or benefit directly from our beautiful lakes. Sue Allen Lakeside

Conservatives, libs don’t fit molds I read Sharon Ramirez’s letter with great interest because I too can trace my roots back to the Mayflower and Gov. William Bradford of Massachusetts. I have ancestors who fought and died in the Revolutionary and Civil wars.I have ancestors who traveled west on a wagon train and built railroads. My father and uncles fought in WWII. Therefore, I refuse to lie down and accept the blanket assumptions made about liberals and conservatives, much of which is

fueled by Fox News. My ancestors helped build this country, not Johnny-come-lately some Australian named Rupert Murdoch (owner of Fox). I have conservative friends/relatives who don’t mind taking government handouts for an adopted child, military retirements, working for government contractors or taking union benefits. Yet they all rail against the government and liberals. Without liberals they wouldn’t have such cushy lives. I have an elderly friend who describes herself as a liberal and keeps a loaded gun by her bed. Another liberal friend and small business owner hates minimum wage increases because her business is too small to absorb the cost. I’m a registered Democrat but I don’t think our neighbors to the south should be able to just waltz over the border to escape problems in their countries. Why don’t they stand up and fight the corruption? Using their arguments, we should give the same sanctuary to those poor people in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, etc., etc.

If Americans had fought among themselves during WWII, like we do today, we would have lost that war. We would be living under the Nazis today. If you think Obama is a Nazi, I assure you it could be a lot worse. There are forces at work, here and abroad, that want us to fight like cats and dogs so we don’t notice them stealing everything we own. Pay attention to President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s parting speech, us about the warning military/industrial complex. It is here. It is strong. And it controls everyone of us. Lorraine Pool Bandon

Failing the test on basic economics Here’s a quiz: Which politician favors reauthorizing the ExportImport Bank,which aids American companies that compete in world markets and last year helped support $37 billion in exports and 205,000 domestic jobs while actually turning a profit? Is it Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the new majority leader of the House of Representatives, who voted for the agency in 2012 and belongs to a party long defined by its devotion to business interests? Or President Obama, often characterized by his opponents as a job-destroying crypto-Socialist? It’s a measure of how crazy things have gotten in Washington that the answer is Obama. He’s joined with such notorious rightwing groups as the Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers in defending the Ex-Im Bank, whose charter expires on Sept. 30. McCarthy, meanwhile, is so intimidated by the tea party faction in his own ranks that he now opposes an institution he once supported and might not even bring the reauthorization measure to the House floor. This legislative paralysis mirhappened on what rors

immigration reform, which passed the Senate with strong bipartisan support but was then buried in the House without a vote. In the case of immigration, opponents insist on branding all undocumented workers as “criminals” who don’t deserve “amnesty,” while refusing to recognize the services they perform, the jobs they create and the taxes they pay. As for the Ex-Im Bank, it is derided as “crony capitalism” and “corporate welfare.” McCarthy said on Fox News Sunday that it is no longer needed because it provides a service “that government does not have to be involved in. The private sector can do it.” But that’s just not true. As the

bank’s own policy statement puts it,“Ex-Im Bank does not compete with private sector lenders but provides export financing products that fill gaps in trade financing. We assume credit and country risks that the private sector is unable or unwilling to accept.” Moreover, the international playing field is not level. Fiftynine other countries subsidize their exporting industries, often heavily. The opposition to the Ex-Im Bank is not just about economics, however. It’s also about culture, emotion, even theology. The tea party is a populist movement that opposes “Bigness” in all its forms. Big Labor and Big Government, Big Cities and Big Media.And now Big Business has joined their roster of evil. This mindset reflects a rebellious impulse that divides the Republican Party and departs sharply from the GOP’s traditional approach. The Ex-Im Bank has been around for 80 years and has always commanded bipartisan support. Tea party types like to lionize Ronald Reagan but in fact he was far more flexible and pragmatic

than they are.He was also a strong supporter of the Ex-Im Bank,saying in 1984 that it “contributes in a significant way to our nation’s export sales.” In 2012, the House approved the bank 330 to 93, with 147 Republicans voting yes; the 72 Senate supporters included 27 Republicans. And today, Republicans who are not intimidated by the tea party or blinded by prejudice continue to understand the bank’s vital work. Take Texas Gov. Rick Perry who wrote to Congressional leaders: “Since the 2008 financial crisis, the Ex-Im bank has helped more than 1,200 Texas companies finance more than $19 billion in exports — more than any other state. More than half of these exporters were small businesses, with more than 20 percent of those being women and minorityowned enterprises.” Historically it was knee-jerk liberals who assumed there was something evil about corporations making money. Now it’s conservatives like Kevin McCarthy who are being quizzed on their knowledge of basic economic principles. And failing.

Happy ending to engagement ring dilemma DEAR ABBY: On July 26, 2011, you posted an answer to "Jittery Future Bride in Boston." I am that woman. I had asked you how to get my boyfriend of five years to use my deceased grandmother's ring as an engagement ring. I followed your advice and told my boyfriend-atthe-time that I DEAR wanted to use a family ring. I spoke with my father about it a n d checked with my sister to see if she JEANNE w o u l d PHILLIPS mind if I used it. We got engaged seven months ago, and my nowhusband told me he had been hoping to take the stone from my paternal grandmother's ring, a stone from my maternal grandmother's ring and one from his family to make a new "joining of the families" ring. We haven't made it yet, but we all look forward to the special meaning that it will embody. We even plan to make a new setting out of the old setting. It's a fairy-tale ending. — BLUSHING BRIDE IN BOSTON DEAR BLUSHING BRIDE: Actually, it's more like a fairy-tale beginning. I love the idea. Thank you for letting me know how things turned out. Not many of my readers take the time to do that. I wish you and your husband a lifetime of happiness together. ABBY: DEAR The mother of a friend of mine died recently. I offered my condolences, and since then I haven't been the same. I am nine months pregnant, and even though I should be excited and celebrating the anticipated arrival of our baby, all I can think about is that my mother is going to die one day. She's 52, healthy and happy, but I can't get it out of my mind. I have become a different person, crying at the most trivial things and often panicking that Mom's OK. I don't think I could make it through if anything happened to her. Dwelling on this is affecting my relationship with my husband and my friends. How do I stop obsessing over this? — ANXIOUS IN ALBUQUERQUE DEAR ANXIOUS: A with your discussion OB/GYN would be helpful. By the last months of pregnancy, a woman's body is swimming in hormones. Those increased hormone levels have been known to have a profound effect on a woman's emotions. The solution to your problem may be as simple as understanding that once your baby arrives and your hormones return to normal, you will be back on a more even keel. If that doesn't happen, you may have to talk with a mental health professional although I doubt that will be necessary. In the meantime, your mother is healthy, happy and about to be a grandmother, so dwell on the positive.

Oregon field fire races 5 miles; no homes lost GRANTS PASS (AP) — A highway through the Ochoco Mountains of central Oregon remains closed by a wildfire, but the threat to about 10 scattered homes and ranches eased. Fire officials said Wednesday the Bailey Butte fire — part of the Waterman Complex — had burned more than 2,000 acres west of Mitchell and was moving south into the Ochoco National Forest. A stretch of U.S. Highway 26 remained closed west of Mitchell, but the evacuation notice for homes along West Branch Road was dropped to the lowest level. Two other fires near Service Creek and Kimberly brought the Waterman Complex to more than 4,000 acres. The three fires started from lightning strikes on Friday and were burning in timber, grass and brush. They were expected to grow in the hot and windy weather. Elsewhere, a fire that started in a northeast Oregon field west of Heppner raced quickly across as much as 20,000 acres, or some 30 square miles, before fire-

fighters from two counties got it stopped, the Morrow County sheriff's office said. Undersheriff Steven Myren said no homes or other structures were lost Wednesday although he says the fire "did get uncomfortably close to some." Some power poles and phone lines were damaged. Early estimates put the area burned at between 15,000 and 20,000 acres, Myren said. The fire raced nearly five miles through standing wheat and other fuels. The cause is under investigation. A wildfire that broke out Sunday in an off-the-grid subdivision near the Klamath County community of Sprague River was more destructive than authorities initially believed. After the fire ignited in the Moccasin Hill subdivision 4 miles south of Sprague River, officials reported six houses destroyed along with 14 outbuildings — barns, garages, shops and the like. But when fire managers toured the burn area Tuesday, spokeswoman Ashley Lertora said they found 17 residences and

16 outbuildings destroyed. The cause was under investigation. Lertora said a containment line was around the 4-square-mile burn area, and crews were working toward its center, putting out hot spots. Kim McIntyre, co-owner of Whistlers Trading Post in Sprague River, told the Herald and News newspaper that many of the people in Moccasin Hill live off the grid with no electricity or telephone. Resident David Pool told the newspaper he left the cabin where he lives with his wife and young daughter when he saw the approaching flames were twice as tall as the trees they were burning. His wife and daughter were away. When he returned, the cabin and solar panels were destroyed. "I could tell that if you would have stood there with a shovel and a hose, even with an airplane dumping water on you, you wouldn't have made it out of there," he said Tuesday. "There was so much fuel, so densely stacked up, I don't think it could have been stopped."

He attended North Bend High School and the University of Oregon. He served two years in the U.S. Army, spending most of that time in Germany. He said he was in the “typewriter brigade.” He married Jeanette Brown Nov. 8, 1963, in Springfield. They had seven sons, Steven, Thomas, Matthew, Peter, James, Andrew and Jeremy. Terry started working for Georgia-Pacific at the Springfield fiberply plant in 1960. In 1971, he and his family moved to the south with GP and lived in North

Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and back to Georgia in 1993. Along the way he earned numerous promotions with increasing levels of responsibility within GP. He served as foreman, plywood plant manager, regional division manager for structural panes and finally vice president of GP’s structural panel division. He retired in 2006 and enjoyed hunting, fishing and playing with the grandkids.

Ashland ready to lift ban on medical pot shops ASHLAND (AP) — The Ashland City Council is getting ready to lift a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries. It gave initial approval Tuesday and expects to take final action Aug. 5, Daily Tidings reported. The Legislature has approved medical marijuana dispensaries but allowed cities and counties to impose moratoriums lasting as long as a year. The Oregon Health Authority lists 146 cities as having imposed bans, out of a total of 242, along with 26 of 36 counties. Most jurisdictions imposed the bans lasting until May. The agency doesn't keep track of cities that are ending their moratoriums quickly. A spokesman for the Oregon League of Cities, Kevin Toon, said the organization is aware of only one other place that has acted as quickly as Ashland.

In the Southern Oregon town Gold Hill, council members who voted to end a moratorium are targets of a proposed recall election. Dispensaries existed for years in a legal gray area until the Legislature acted to put them on a legal footing. But many local officials objected, and the Legislature then voted to give local officials authority to delay the openings. The state has given provisional licenses to two dispensaries in Ashland, but city officials say one is too close to houses to open. The second will need to get a conditional use permit. The new regulations would be effective 30 days after the council gives final approval. A conditional use permit could take at least 45 days. The council has given a tentative OK to a tax of up to 5 percent on medical marijuana and a tax of up to 10 percent on recreational marijuana.

Oregon Man admits aiming lasers at airliners PORTLAND (AP) — A Portland man charged with aiming a laser beam at two commercial airliners flying toward Portland International Airport has pleaded guilty in federal court. When the beam struck a United Airlines flight Oct. 13, one of the pilots reported that it "lit up the entire cock-

The man arrested after an is aerial investigation Stephen Francis Bukucs, 40, a former security guard. He entered his plea

Tuesday in federal court, The Oregonian reported. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 24, and the government plans to seek a two-year term. The laser beam Bukucs used was a high-powered version, Peifer said, not the type used as a pointer in an office presentation. Investigators looking into

reports of laser attacks flew two airplanes as decoys in August 2013. One, a Portland police aircraft, was targeted by a laser beam and relayed the location of the light's origination to officers on the ground, Peifer said. Officers saw a laser light coming from an apartment complex.

Oregon Zoo rehires veterinarian dismissed in May PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon Zoo has re-hired a senior veterinarian who was dismissed in May after an investigation found mistakes were made in the death of a 20-year-old orangutan. The zoo said Wednesday that Mitch Finnegan will return next week as staff veterinarian and will not be in a management position. Interim director Teri Dresler said in Wednesday that in May the zoo “made a decision based on the information we had at the time.” She says since that time, she realized that it would be a mistake not to have someone of Finnegan’s “caliber on our staff.”

Suspension deleted from captain’s file

Portland police captain who was suspended for posting a plaque that honored Naziera German soldiers will have the disciplinary action removed from his personnel file. The city of Portland agreed to that after Capt. Mark Kruger threatened a lawsuit. Kruger claimed a city official repeatedly slandered him in text messages by referring to him as a Nazi. Kruger posted the plaque in a city park in 1999 and removed it about five years later. He described himself as a military history buff, and denied any admiration for Nazis.

For US and Europe, divisions over Russia penalties

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States and Europe are seeking to maintain a united front against Russia with coordinated announcements of new economic sanctions, but divisions persist over how aggressive the West should be in punishing Moscow for its threatening moves in Ukraine. The penalties announced by the White House on Wednesday were broad in scope, targeting two major Russian energy firms, a pair of powerful financial institutions, eight weapons makers and four individuals. Leaders in Europe, which has a far deeper economic relationship with Russia than the U.S., were more restrained, ordering investment and development banks on the continent to suspend financing agreements with Moscow. They also asked EU foreign ministers to consider targeting people or companies involved in the unrest in Ukraine — a decision that could affect Russian oligarchs or members of the Kremlin inner circle. Even the U.S. penalties stopped short of the most stringent actions the West has threatened, which would entail fully cutting off key sectors of Russia’s economy. But officials said those steps were still on the table if Russia fails to abide by the West’s demands to stop supporting pro-Russian insurgents who have destabilized swaths of eastern Ukraine. “What we are expecting is

that the Russian leadership will see once again that its actions in Ukraine have consequences, including a weakening Russian economy and increasing diplomatic isolation,” President Barack Obama said as he announced the U.S. penalties from the White House. Russian President Vladimir Putin, sounding unperturbed, said the U.S. was only hurting itself by putting American companies that want to operate in Russia at a competitive disadvantage. At a news conference in Brazil, Putin said through a translator, “They are undermining the positions of their energy companies.” “They made one mistake, and now they insist on making another one,” he said. Until now, the U.S. and Europe have limited their sanctions on Europe to travel bans and asset freezes aimed at individuals and entities, including some with close ties to Putin. But those measures have done little to change Putin’s calculus, with the Pentagon announcing Wednesday that Russian troops were again massing along the border with Ukraine. In Ukraine itself, pro-Russian rebels in the east have lost much ground but now seem to be hunkering down for what could be extended urban warfare. Ukraine and the West have accused Russia of fomenting the insurgency by sending troops and weapons across its border with the former Soviet republic, something Moscow denies. The insur-

gency was sparked by Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine earlier this year. While Obama has put a premium on responding to the provocations in coordination with Europe, the White House has grown increasingly frustrated with the continent’s reluctance to impose sanctions on Russian economic sectors. EU leaders fear such penalties could have negative impacts on their own economies, given their close financial relationships with Russia. U.S. officials summoned European diplomats to the White House on Monday to discuss the matter and warn that Obama was prepared to take unilateral action if the EU did not take stronger measures during a meeting in Brussels on Wednesday. After meeting late into the night, the EU said it was asking the European Investment Bank to sign no new financwith ing agreements Moscow. The EU also agreed to suspend financing of the new European Bank for Reconstruction and Development operations in Russia. European leaders also signaled for the first time their willingness to go after Russian companies “that are materially or financially supporting actions undermining or threatening Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence.” They ordered their foreign ministers to draw up a list of such people or entities by the end of the month.

Microsoft cutting 18,000 jobs, signals new path LOS ANGELES (AP) — Microsoft announced the biggest layoffs in its history Thursday, saying it will cut 18,000 jobs or 14 percent of its workforce as it streamlines its Nokia mobile device business to focus on using the Windows Phone operating system. The news sent Microsoft’s stock up nearly 2 percent in morning trading. Although the job cuts had been expected, the extent of them was a surprise. It’s the boldest move by CEO Satya Nadella since he took the reins from Steve Ballmer in February. In a public email to employees Thursday, he said the changes were needed for the company to “become more agile and move faster.” Nadella indicated that Microsoft will largely abandon low-price Nokia Asha phones, and reverse a strategically questionable move by Nokia in February to launch a line of phones called “X” that supported rival Google Inc.’s Android platform. “The first-party phone portfolio will align to Microsoft’s strategic direction,” Nadella said in the memo. “To win in the higher price tiers, we will focus on breakthrough innovation that expresses and enlivens Microsoft’s digital work and digital life experiences.” Nadella added the changes are “difficult, but necessary.”

Of the job cuts,about 12,500 professional and factory jobs related to the Nokia acquisition will be eliminated, including 1,100 in Finland. Some 1,350 Seattle-area workers around Microsoft’s Redmond, Washington headquarters were also notified Thursday, as were 1,800 workers in Hungary. Microsoft expects charges of $1.1 billion to $1.6 billion over the next four quarters, largely for severance payments. The move puts the company on track to meet the target it set in September, when it announced the Nokia purchase, of saving $600 million in annual costs within 18 months after the deal closed. FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives said the cuts were about double what Wall Street was expecting. But he said they were necessary to streamline operations and clean up a bloated management structure. “Microsoft needs to be a ‘leaner and meaner’ technology giant over the coming years in order to strike the right baland of growth ance profitability around its cloud and mobile endeavors,” he said. The move dwarfs Microsoft’s previous biggest job cut, when it cut about 5,800 jobs in 2009. That was the company’s first ever widespread layoff.

Gunmen attack airport in Afghan capital KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gunmen carried out a predawn rocket attack on Kabul International Airport on Thursday, temporarily shutting down the facility and setting off a gunbattle with security forces in which four attackers were killed, officials said. The militants occupied two buildings which were under construction some 700 yards north of the facility, and were using them as a base to direct rockets and gunfire toward the airport and international jet fighters flying over Kabul, said Afghan army Gen. Afzal Aman. Kabul Police Chief Mohammed Zahir Zahir later said four of the attackers were killed and that the attack was halted without

any civilian or police casualties. The airport was later reopened and operations returned to normal, Zahir said, after security forces inspected the runways for shrapnel and explosives. The pre-dawn attack comes during a tense time in Afghanistan, as a recount is underway from the disputed second round of a presidential election seen as key to insuring a peaceful transfer of power ahead of the withdrawal of most foreign troops by the end of the year. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the airport attack in a call to The Associated Press. Aman said several rockets hit the airport but no planes

were damaged. The airport hosts civilian traffic and serves as a base for NATO-led forces that have been fighting the Taliban and other insurgents for more than a decade. Rocket attacks near the airport are not rare, but are not usually this close. Alarms sounded at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, as they usually do when there is an attack in the city, as ISAF jet fighters patrolled overhead. The attack came nearly a week after U.S Secretary of State John Kerry helped broker a deal to carry out a full audit of last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential runoff following allegations of fraud by supporters of both candidates.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld had earlier said two rockets fell in open areas in southern Israel, causing no damage or injuries. He said the rockets landed at 12 p.m. local time, two hours after the cease-fire began. The army later said in a statement that the attack consisted of three mortar shells.

FERC sets timeline for Jordan Cove EIS process

about the email loss until after it was reported in the news media, wouldn’t commit to investigating the two-month lag but said it could be an area of interest if there is reason to think a crime had occurred. Lerner, who refused to answer questions at two House committee hearings, has become a central figure in several congressional investigations into the handling of applications for tax-exempt status by tea party groups. At both hearings, Lerner cited her Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate herself. In May, the Republican-led House voted to hold Lerner in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify. The IRS revealed last month

that it lost the emails in 2011 when Lerner’s computer crashed. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has said he’s seen no evidence that anyone committed a crime in connection with the lost emails. There is no evidence that Lerner intentionally destroyed them, he said, adding that IRS has gone to great lengths trying to retrieve lost documents on her computer. Lerner’s attorney, William Taylor III, declined to comment. Koskinen said he first learned there was a problem with Lerner’s computer in February, but he didn’t learn that emails were lost until April. The IRS notified Congress on June 13, and Koskinen testified that he wanted to learn the scope of

the problem before telling Congress. For example, he said, technicians were able to locate 24,000 Lerner emails on other IRS employees’ computers. The disclosure by Lerner in May 2013 that the IRS had engaged in “inappropriate” targeting of conservatives set off a political firestorm that continues to flare in this election year. Word that investigators are broadening their inquiry to include the missing emails comes as lawmakers Republican accuse the Obama administration of not cooperating with their investigation and failing to take the matter seriously enough. Attorney General Eric Holder has resisted their calls to appoint a special prosecutor.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission released a timeline for the Jordan Cove Energy Project’s environmental review. According to documents filed by FERC on Wednesday, Jordan Cove and the Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline projects should receive their final environmental impact statements Feb. 27. Federal authorization is then required within 90 days, pushing FERC’s final Jordan Cove decision to May 28. This is much later than Jordan Cove officials predicted. Last month, they expected a final EIS by the end of 2014, with construction starting during second quarter 2015.

HOLLERING Work starts as early as 2016 Continued from Page A1 responded with a plan to build a three-story resort, upscale restaurant, meeting rooms and conference facilities, along with a visitor museum. center/cultural Negotiations began in earnest between the two sides in December, culminating with this week’s agreement. The lengthy agreement is just the start of the serious work that still needs to be done before ground can be broken, possibly as early as 2016. Among other things, the agreement requires the Tribe to invest at least $15 million in the project, and to pay property taxes for at least 20 years after completion. The city’s URA would pay back $1.5 million from those taxes, also over 20 years, to help pay for offsite improvements. Craddock said the latter may have been the final piece of the puzzle to clinch an agreement. “There are impacts to offsites that have to be mitigated. Such as Newmark Road, between South Empire Boulevard and the Bay, is in pretty poor shape and they are going to create a lot of trips. So that the road would

have to be brought up to some standard,” he said. “That wasn’t within their budget. The fact that the city is willing to do that, and actually the Urban Renewal Agency is able to do that, will help make it feasible. But it is all contingent.” Contingencies abound, he said. For instance, they have to actually invest the $15 million, pay their property taxes on time and, if something were to happen to that site over the next couple of decades, they have to rebuild. The city manager says they also have to pass muster on an environmental assessment. “Even though one was done when the cleanup was completed years ago, DEQ still requires another assessment to see if there has been any changes,” he said. “Obviously, a lot can happen between now and the actual closing date. Who knows what can happen with the economy, which (also) plays a big role.” Still, for all of the ifs, ands, or buts, this deal is creating a buzz around city hall, and boosting hopes for the future of the Empire district in Coos Bay. “This is a big deal. This fits our master plan that we’ve had for that area,” Mayor Crystal Shoji said.“The council is really excited about the possibility of the Hollering Place development and what it will do for Empire.”

Babe Ruth state championships begin Saturday BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

NORTH BEND — This weekend, the best 13- to 15-year-old baseball studs from the South Coast will see if they can bring a state championship back to the Bay Area. Another group of 13-year-old locals will be trying to keep the trophy in town. The Babe Ruth All Stars kick off this weekend, with the 14-year-old prep and 13- to 15-year-old prep teams traveling to Klamath Falls to compete in the Southern Oregon State Championships and the 13year-old prep team hosting at Clyde

“It’s a big deal for us to host the state tournament and it’s a big deal for the kids to be in their comfort zone.” Walter White, coach of 13-year-old Babe Ruth team

Allen Field. “That’s a great deal for us. Home field advantage is always nice,” 13year-olds coach Walter White said during the three local teams’ round robin scrimmage Sunday. “When you have the ability to sleep in your own bed, get up in the morning — rather than the distractions that come with a hotel or camping — it will be really good for the boys.”

“It’s a big deal for us to host the state tournament and it's a big deal for the kids to be in their comfort zone.” White’s team kicks off against Umpqua Valley at 10 a.m. Saturday and have had some in-game experience playing together besides the Sunday scrimmage. They finished second in a tournament in Eugene two weeks ago, losing to West Linn

in the final. White’s roster is loaded with talent. He has consistent catching from Mane Freeman, a great shortstop in Jayden Frank and solid talent with Grant Woolsey, Teron “T” Catanzaro and Corbin White. “We’re sound through the board,” White said. Jake Simmons is a speedster in centerfield but is versatile enough

to play different positions up the middle. He likes the idea of playing in a familiar spot for the tournament but knows it starts and ends with offense. “We're used to it. We know the wind and stuff here,” Simmons said of Clyde Allen. “Our bats, we just need one person to get it going and then we’re good. Bats are a big key.” The older kids are much more confident. The 13-15 team has pretty lofty expectations for itself. “I think were expected to win,” head coach Bill Roderick said. “I SEE BABE RUTH | B2

FLORENCE — Three Rivers marched one step closer to the American Legion Super Regionals on Wednesday, coming back from an early 6-0 deficit to win 13-12 against first place DeMarini Post 20 Dirtbags. The win Wednesday puts Three Rivers in fourth at 5-8 in Zone 3, essentially locking up a top five finish and a trip next weekend to the Super Regionals. Three Rivers would need to be swept in its doubleheader against Corvallis today and have 3-8 Mid Valley win three of its final four games to be out of the playoff picture. “We’re really coming along,” Three River’s coach Ryan Fobert said of his team’s fifth win in its last six games. “This win really solidified it for us. Unless there’s some big upsets tomorrow, we should be fine.” The Dirtbags jumped on Three River’s starter John Dodson early, climbing to a six-run lead by the middle of the third inning. Dodson was relieved by Brad Snow in the fourth, but four errors behind him helped dig the hole in the first half of the game. In the bottom of the third, the Sandblasters helped out Dodson and exploded for 10 runs, bringing 15 batters up in the inning and nine of their first 10 rounding to score. Tyler Campbell smacked two singles in the inning — on his way to a 3-for-4 night — and by the end the seven-hit third, the Sandblasters had amassed a 10-6 lead. “You just stay focus and don’t get too goofy because you’re getting runs,” Connor Qualley said of the big third inning. “You just try to stay focused and keep hitting the ball. “It got real close towards the end.” The Dirtbags responded aggressively. After Andrew Sharp turned a one-out walk into a run in the fourth, DeMarini chopped the lead to 11-10 behind a four-run fifth. Three Rivers — and Tyler Dordan in particular — kept expanding its lead over the next few innings. In the fifth, Dordan got Three River’s only extra base hit with a double and scored, then in the seventh he walked and scored again to give Snow a threerun cushion. Dordan, along with Campbell and Kyle Springer, were the only Sandblasters with multiple hits. Springer and Dordan had three RBIs apiece. Up 13-10 going into the ninth, DeMarini had two of its first three batters score in the ninth to cut the lead to one. Snow was able to retire the final two Dirtbags, stranding Jarrett Peterson on third as the tying run to notch the win. “They’re the first place team so beating them is always gong to help,” Qualley said. The recent streak has been a long time coming for the Sandblasters. After struggling early on, Three Rivers has found a bit of consistency as of late and Fobert says that he’s finally been able to “round out our lineup.” On Wednesday, Fobert saw plenty to be optimistic about moving forward.

Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland plays out of a bunker on the 16th hole during the first day of the British Open at the Royal Liverpool golf club, Hoylake, England, on Thursday.

McIlroy shoots 66, Woods 69 early at British Open BY PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press

HOYLAKE, England — On a day when Tiger Woods made an impressive return to the majors, Rory McIlroy got off to another blistering start at the British Open. Now, can McIlroy keep it going? The two-time major champion took advantage of prime scoring conditions to shoot a 6-under 66 on Thursday, putting him in what has become a familiar position: the first-round lead. McIlroy has played the opening round in a cumulative 55-under par this year, including three 63s and a course-record 64 at last week’s Scottish Open. But he’s failed to win any of those events, largely because of what he calls his “second-round thing.” His total score on Fridays — 15 over. Woods is just happy to be playing after back surgery kept him out of the first two majors of 2014. He got off to a shaky start with bogeys at the first two holes. Down the stretch, he looked more like the player who romped to victory the last time golf’s oldest major was held at this course along the Irish Sea. Playing the back nine in 4-under 33, Woods finished with a 69 that put him right in the midst of a bunch of red numbers. He rolled in a 30-foot putt from the fringe at No. 11, sparking a run of five birdies in six holes. For the early starters, it couldn’t have been better day for scoring — mild and sunny, with only a slight breeze rippling the flags. It was a far cry from 2006, when Woods won on dry, fiery course that made the

grass more brown than green. This time, Royal Liverpool was lush and relatively soft after intermittent rain on Wednesday. Matteo Manassero made only one bogey and also shot 33 after the turn, taking advantage of a quirk in the course which puts three par-5s in the closing nine. He birdied them all for a 67. He wasn’t the only Italian off to an encouraging start. Brothers Edoardo and Francesco Molinari opened with matching 68s. “I saw the leaderboard,” said Francesco, the younger of the siblings. “But it’s a tough course, so you have to focus on what you are doing rather than the others are doing — even if it’s your brother.” Also at 68 were Spain’s Sergio Garcia and a pair of Americans, Jim Furyk and Brooks Koepka. Sweden’s Robert Karlsson, Marc Leishman of Australia and Japan’s Koumei Oda were tied with Woods and Ricky Fowler another shot back. “I didn’t play fantastic, but the course is out there to make some birdies on,” said Karlsson, who teed off in the first group of the day at 6:25 a.m. He described the breeze as “tricky,” but acknowledged it wasn’t much of a defense against those going out in the morning. “I’ll take this tricky,” Karlsson said. After his opening shot settled safely in the fairway, Woods ran into trouble when his next swing sent the ball into one of the treacherous pot bunkers. His wedge out of the sand scooted through the green and led to bogey. At No. 2, the three-time Open champion knocked a long putt about 6 feet past the hole, then missed the comebacker to take

Reedsport graduate Monica Vaughn cruised to a victory in her first match at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links tournament Wednesday, beating Wanasa Zhou of California 3 and 2. Vaughn had just one bogey, on the last hole, and was 2-under for her round. She faces Eimi Koga of Hawaii in the round of 32 this morning on The Home Course in Dupont, Wash. “I got my putter rolling again today,” Vaughn said. “I made a crazy par on the first hole and that really got me going and gave me confidence throughout my round.” If Vaughn wins her match this morning, she could face top seed Eun Jeong Seong, a 14-year-old golfer from Korea, in the round of 16 this afternoon. Seong rallied from 4-down to beat No. 64 seed Samantha Gotcher of Tennessee in a match that was extended to 19 holes Wednesday. The quarterfinals and semifinals of the tournament are Friday, with the 36-hole championship match Saturday. Vaughn would love to still be alive then, but is taking things one match at a time. “I have a really early start tomorrow morning and I’m just hoping to keep playing like I have the last two days and I’ll do just fine,” she said after Wednesday’s match. Vaughn, who just finished her freshman year at Arizona State University, is playing her first United States Golf Association adult tournament. She played in two USGA junior girls events growing up. This is the final year the Publinx will be contested. Next year, it will be replaced by a new pairs tournament, the U.S. Amateur Four Ball Championship.

Talansky shows tenacity before he drops out of race

The Associated Press

Andrew Talansky of the U.S. strains as he rides alone with more than 20 minutes delay on the pack because of back pain during the eleventh stage. Talansky did not start the 12th stage on Thursday.

OYONNAX, France (AP) — Sitting on a roadside guard rail, wincing and rubbing his lower back, Andrew Talansky looked ready to quit the Tour de France in the middle of Stage 11. The Tour’s Web site and French TV commentators said his race was over. So did some English-language Twitterati. The “Pit Bull” proved them wrong. With a show of toothgrinding grit and determination to repay his Garmin Sharp teammates who had ridden hard to help him, the 25-year-old Miami native got back up on his bike, wiped his eyes and pedaled on to the finish far behind the pack — and just in time. Two days earlier, the pain and damage from two recent crashes had already ended Talansky’s outsider hopes of

victory. He began Wednesday’s 116.3-mile hilly ride from Besancon to Oyonnax in eastern France in 26th place — nearly 15 minutes behind race leader Vincenzo Nibali. The Italian retained the yellow jersey Wednesday by finishing right behind France’s Tony Gallopin, who won Stage 11 in a bold late breakaway. Talansky, nursing a sore back, had bad luck compound his misery early in the stage: He blew a tire and got left behind. Because he was no longer in contention to win the Tour in Paris on July 27, his teammates didn’t wait up. Straining, he couldn’t make up the difference alone, but pressed on anyway. When Talansky, clearly in agony, stopped on a roadside and sat down with about 60 kilometers left, Garmin-

Sharp sporting director Robert Hunter — who as a rider became the first South African to win a Tour stage — and other two other staffers pulled up in a team car. “He thought that maybe it was time to stop the Tour. He sat down ... thought about it, and decided to continue,” said Hunter. “If he wants to fight on and get to the finish, the only way we’re going to get there is by fighting. That’s his character and the way the team works as well.” Hunter continued to pour on encouragement from the car as Talansky resumed riding. Under race rules, Talansky — who would’ve liked to be a journalist if not a cyclist — faced a deadline: Because it was a hilly, relatively long SEE TOUR | B2

Anything could happen.” “I will be disappointed if we don’t get first place. I think everyone will be disappointed.” Roderick is only the head coach “on paper,” but they’re really using a “threeheaded monster” of him, Mike Rose and Rob Laskey. “This is the fastest team we’ve ever seen,” he said. Eleven of the 14 kids on the roster can pitch. Catcher Braden Denton is fast, dependable, doesn’t get flustered and will probably be their leadoff batter. Roderick also expects big things from Will Roderick, Tanner Rhoades and Nicholas Minton as well as Reedsport kids Joe Hixenbaugh and Wayde Doane. Mammoth 6-foot-3 Mason Jussila pitched Sunday and will split time on the mound, playing at first and third as well as doing a little DH-ing. “I think we’ll do pretty good,” Jussilla said, echoing Roderick’s confidence. The team sandwiched in between the two are the 14year-olds, coached by Mike Campbell. Campbell anticipates Kody Clark to be vital at first and pitching, centerfielder Jacob Post’s speed to be crucial to cover space on defense and August “Auggie” Baker to be consistent at shortstop and catcher. Anthony Catanzaro, Corgan Cox and Kenyon Kohl are all expected to be key contributors as well. Triston Messenger got in a motorcycle accident earlier in the summer and hasn’t been able to play, but will hopefully be in the lineup this weekend. Pitcher Jordan Mazzucchi started a game on the and Sunday mound Campbell takes it upon himself to lead Mazzucchi toward success on the mound. “He’s a good ball player to begin with,” Campbell said of his pitcher. “The thing with him is he has a really strong arm, but he gets frustrated really fast.

He didn’t need extra holes against Thomas, clinching the victory with a two-putt from 30 feet on the 18th hole. Six of the first seven matches were decided on the 18th hole. Thomas led 2 up through 13 holes, but bogeys at 14 and 17, as well as a drive out of bounds on 16, ruined the 20year-old Las Vegas resident’s chances. “Anybody out here can beat anyone else on a given day,” said Lee, 19. “That’s what made (Tuesday) so scary in the playoff, but it’s what makes this championship so exciting.” The other three comedalists won.

Defending champion Jordan Niebrugge, 52nd seed, beat Dou Zecheng of China, 4 and 2, in a rematch of their quarterfinal in 2013. Niebrugge made six birdies and no bogeys over 16 holes. “I hit a lot of fairways and a lot of greens and kept the pressure on him,” said Niebrugge, 20, a junior at Oklahoma State. “That’s how I want to play in match play.”

Now, he’s 44th in the overall standings — more than 47 minutes behind Nibali. Because he made it, he and the team were able to think over whether it’s really worth it for him to carry in a similar

pions have all been in their early 40s. Koepka, a 24-yearold American who began his pro career in Europe, wants to end that streak. “I hope someone in their 20s wins,” he said. “I hope it’s me.” Five-time champion Tom Watson took the scenic route around Royal Liverpool on Thursday. “My driving today was pretty pitiful, I was in the rough, or out of bounds, or lost,” said Watson, who shot a 1-over-par 73 in a round that included four birdies, three bogeys and a double-bogey. “I hit some decent iron shots, but with the driver, just getting the ball in the fairway was not very good. I am going directly to the practice range so I can work on something I thought about on the 18th tee.” Watson, the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, has said Woods was no certainty to make the team — the 14-time major champion is No. 72 in the Ryder Cup standings with only five weeks remaining to earn one of nine automatic qualifying spots. “I would like to see Tiger do well for selfish reasons to see him get on the team,” Watson said. “And 3-under right now is a good start.”

From Page B1 his score to 2 over. Woods took advantage of the only par-5 on the front side for his first birdie. Then, the 14-time major winner rolled in a long putt from the fringe of the green at No. 11 for another, which sparked a run of three straight birdies. After another bogey at the 14th, set up by an errant tee shot into the hay, Woods bounced back with two more birdies. Woods has gone six years without a major title and this season was interrupted by back surgery on March 31. He missed the Masters for the first time, and then the U.S. Open, before returning three weeks ago at Congressional. He missed the cut by four shots, though he was happy that he felt no pain. Woods’ threesome included Sweden’s Henrik Stenson, who is among four players with a shot at replacing Adam Scott at No. 1 in the world if he wins.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Lance Stephenson is bringing his swag to Charlotte. The controversial shooting guard has agreed to a $27 million, three-year deal with the Hornets, according to a person familiar with the contract. The deal includes a team option for the third season. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal has not yet been made public. The person says Stephenson is expected to be introduced at a press conference Friday. Stephenson met with Hornets owner Michael Jordan and other members of the organization Tuesday night in Las Vegas to make sure he was a good fit before agreeing to the deal. The Pacers had offered Stephenson a fiveyear, $44 million contract but he chose to sign for fewer years.

Rush lands with Warriors OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Rush and the Golden State Warriors are headed for a reunion. Rush and the Warriors agreed to a twoyear, $2.5 million contract. Rush’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, said the small forward will hold the option in the second year of the deal. Rush was Golden State’s top reserve and best perimeter defender during the 2011-12 season before tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the team’s 2012-13 home opener. He was traded to Utah last summer as part of a salary shedding move that allowed the Warriors to sign Andre Iguodala away from Denver. Rush played just 38 games for the Jazz last season after returning from that devastating knee injury. He held a workout for teams in Las Vegas recently before signing with the Warriors, who had pursued Rush from the start of free agency July 1.

He showed real flashes early on in his career, averaging 7.7 points and 7.1 rebounds in under 25 minutes per game during his rookie season. Two years later, Davis was shipped to Memphis as part of the trade that sent Rudy Gay to the Raptors, and he struggled to find consistent playing time on a Grizzlies team loaded with talent and experience in the frontcourt. When the Grizzlies re-signed Zach Randolph this summer, it made Davis expendable.

The Rangers assigned him to Triple-A Round Rock. Frasor was 1-1 with a 3.34 ERA in 38 appearances this season, his second in Texas. The right-hander spent nine seasons with Toronto (2004-12), returning to the Blue Jays after being traded to the White Sox in July 2011 and finishing that season in Chicago. Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said catcher Geovany Soto will be activated from the disabled list before Friday’s game at Toronto and set for his season debut in the majors after knee surgery.

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — Prosecutors have spelled out what they say is “direct evidence” that the fiancee of former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez lied to the grand jury that indicted him on a murder charge, including about a box she discarded at Hernandez’s direction. The prosecution listed in a court filing Tuesday where it claims to have direct evidence contradicting Shayanna Jenkins’ testimony. The judge ordered the additional information following defense complaints. Jenkins has pleaded not guilty to perjury, a charge her attorney has sought to dismiss. Prosecutors say Jenkins told the grand jury she couldn’t recall where she disposed of the box and that she didn’t try to conceal the action.

Durant, Rousey win top athlete honors at ESPYs LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kevin Durant won two ESPY Awards, including male athlete of the year, and mixed martial arts star Ronda Rousey earned female athlete honors, becoming the first UFC fighter to claim a trophy in the biggest category at the show honoring the year’s best performances Wednesday night. Durant also won best NBA player, ending LeBron James’ two-year reign in both categories. “Everybody helped me out along the way,” the Oklahoma City Thunder star said. “My beautiful mom watching at home who couldn’t be here. My favorite teammate, Russell Westbrook.” Durant beat out fellow male athlete nominees Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers, Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos and boxer Floyd Mayweather during the show hosted by rapper Drake at the Nokia Theatre. Rousey, the first female UFC champion, won over WNBA star Maya Moore, Olympic champion skier Mikaela Shiffrin and Brenna Stewart of national champion Connecticut. The winners in most categories were determined by fan voting. Rousey didn’t attend, with presenter Chrissy Teigen saying the fighter had surgery a day earlier. Manning didn’t go home empty-handed. He collected two trophies: best NFL player and record-breaking performance. Manning won his fifth MVP award last season, when he set single-season records by passing for 55 touchdowns and more than 5,500 yards. The Super Bowl champion

Seattle Seahawks won best team. Their All-Pro cornerback, Richard Sherman, won breakthrough athlete. The best game was the Iron Bowl matchup between No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Auburn, with the Tigers winning 34-28 on the final play to spoil the Tide’s BCS hopes. Led by goalie Tim Howard, the U.S. men’s soccer team won best moment for its run to the round of 16 in the World Cup. Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal won best international athlete. Drake zinged Howard and Sherman in his opening monologue. The rapper joked about banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling, saying, “We’re a few hundred yards from Staples Center, which is as close as Donald Sterling is allowed to get.” Clippers star Blake Griffin laughed until the camera caught him and he acted serious, drawing laughs. Griffin and Drake teamed up for a funny pre-taped bit in which they pretended to be each other while spewing insults, with rapper Chris Brown joining in. Brown, who has been in and out of jail, jokingly introduced himself as “America’s sweetheart.” James wasn’t on hand, but Drake noted the superstar’s recent decision to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers after winning two NBA titles in Miami. “You know what 40 million gets you in Miami? A really nice house,” Drake said. “You know what 40 million gets you in Cleveland? Cleveland, you get the whole thing.” Drake mixed in song, too. He crooned “Honorable Mention,” a tune he said was dedicated to the runner-ups, including Triple Crown loser

Russell Wilson and Seattle Seahawks accepts the award for best team at the ESPY Awards at the Nokia Theatre on Wednesday in Los Angeles. California Chrome and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick. Lil’ Wayne cracked up as Drake sang “Side Pieces,” full of references to the on-theroad cheating that goes on in sports. Drake noted a lot of men in the audience wanted the song to be over. Drake revisited Sterling with a rap accompanied by video of the Clippers owner saying he isn’t a racist. The screen displayed the hashtag of Sterlingneverlovedus. Later, Drake teamed up with WNBA star Skylar Diggins for a sketch. She went in to kiss Drake, who has acknowledged his affection for her, but the smooch landed on his forehead and

not his lips. Gregg Popovich won best coach-manager for guiding the San Antonio Spurs to the NBA championship. Spurs player Kawhi Leonard earned the championship performance award to go with his MVP award from the NBA Finals. Westbrook won best comeback athlete, having overcome his latest knee surgery to help the Thunder reach the Western Conference finals. Stewart won best female college athlete, while Creighton basketball star Doug McDermott won male college athlete. Olympic snowboarders Jamie Anderson and Sage Kotsenburg won best female

and male Olympian. Kotsenburg won the first gold medal of the Sochi Games in men’s snowboard slopestyle. The Arthur Ashe Courage award went to St. Louis Rams draftee Michael Sam, who announced earlier this year that he is gay. The former Missouri defensive end will be trying to make the Rams’ roster when training camp opens. If he does, Sam would be the NFL’s first openly gay player. Sam teared up throughout his speech and his voice faltered at times. “Great things can happen when you have the courage to be yourself,” he told the audience. Hall of Famer Jim Brown hugged Sam on his way to the

stage. The Ashe award is named for the late tennis player who died in 1993 after contracting AIDS from a blood transfusion. The Jimmy V Award for Perseverance was given to ESPN “SportsCenter” anchor Stuart Scott, who is fighting a recurrence of cancer first diagnosed seven years ago. The Pat Tillman Award for Service was given for the first time to Josh Sweeney, a retired Marine who lost both his legs after an explosion in Afghanistan. He scored the lone goal for the U.S. sled hockey team that beat the Russians for gold earlier this year at the Paralympics in Sochi.

Jones breaks through ahead of NASCAR Nationwide debut DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Erik Jones has discovered that driving the No. 51 truck isn’t nearly as easy as Kyle Busch makes it look. Last weekend, Jones finally pushed through the adversity that had dogged him all season with a run that showed why Busch and others are so high on his potential. Jones led 131 of the 200 laps in a NASCAR trucks race at Iowa Speedway on Friday and cruised to his first victory of 2014 and the sixth for Busch’s No. 51 team. The win came at a perfect time for the 18-year-old Jones, who will make his NASCAR Nationwide debut this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway. “It was definitely a great win in a lot of ways for everybody over here at (Kyle Busch Motorsports) and for myself just to get some momentum going. Hopefully we can carry it into this next weekend and keep going on the Nationwide side of things,” Jones said. Busch has set a nearly impossible standard for Jones to match by winning all five of his trucks starts in 2014. Jones is still learning how to drive — and deal with the bad breaks that are inherent to motorsports.

Jones emerged as something of a stock car wunderkind in 2012, becoming the first 15-year-old to run an ARCA race. His early success caught the eye of Busch, who gave him five starts in the No. 51 last year, and Jones rewarded Busch’s faith in him with a victory in Phoenix that made Jones the youngest winner in series history. Busch’s support has been crucial so far for Jones, who unlike many of NASCAR’s young stars is a first-generation racer. “Kyle has been a big influence on me and pointing me in the right direction and helping me out. I think he’s been the biggest person in my career,” Jones said. Jones never finished outside the top 10 in 2013. Until Iowa, Jones hadn’t finished inside the top 10 this season. Jones was fifth at the start of a green-white-checkered finish at Martinsville when Joey Coulter sent him into the wall. Jones then held a lead at Gateway in Illinois with less than 10 laps left when he got hit from behind and turned around. But in Iowa, Jones was able to dictate the race from the

front, and he rode through clean air while holding off Ryan Blaney. Jones was later docked 10 points when his truck failed a post-race inspection for height, but that did little to dull the sensation of a breakout win for 2014. “We did have some trouble at the beginning of the year, really none of our own doing, but I was happy that we could finally really put it all together,” Jones said. Saturday’s race in Chicago will be the first of run three Nationwide events in Matt Kenseth’s No. 20 car this season for Jones. Jones isn’t expected to do much more than gain experience in NASCAR’s second-tier circuit this season, especially since his time in a Nationwide car has been limited to a single test in Memphis. But a promising showing could lead to more Nationwide opportunities in 2015. “The main thing is for me, and we’ve talked about it, is just making laps honestly at this point. It’s a really big step for me getting into a Nationwide car,” Jones said. “At first I’m just going to be looking to make laps and get to the end of the race and hopefully running up in the top 10.”

Encouraging sign for LPGA’s Recari SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) — Some like to see their name in lights. Beatriz Recari was thrilled to see hers bolted to a light pole. The name of each year’s winner of the Marathon Classic is placed on the signs along the main drag of this Toledo suburb. “It’s really cool,” said Recari, a 27-year-old Spaniard who has won three times on the LPGA Tour. “It’s obviously a great bonus not only to get this trophy and everything that comes along with it. But to get your own street for a year, that’s pretty special.” Recari has become a more of a household name as her career blossomed in the last year. After winning the Kia tournament, she outdueled Paula Creamer down the stretch to also win the Marathon. While collecting more than $1 million in checks, she placed sixth in the tour’s player of the year standings, finished 3-1-1 for the victorious European side at the Solheim Cup and contended at last week’s Women’s British Open. She began the final round at Royal Birkdale three shots back of the leader but faded to a tie for 17th with a 79. “I had a little bit of a slow start first half of the year, but feel like everything is coming

along,” she said, referring to lower back and hip problems. “I’m working on things that feel good for me. I’m healthy and fit. I had a very good performance last week, and I’m very happy with my practicing.” Mo Martin, who won the Women’s British Open with a closing 72, is still adapting to the title of major champion. “It’s definitely been a whirlwind,” she said of arriving in Ohio after several connecting flights and lots of frequent-flier miles. “I hadn’t even turned my phone on. When I eventually did get here, I turned my phone on and it kind of exploded, everybody just congratulating me.” She also got a pat-on-the-back letter from no less than legend Arnold Palmer. Recari and Martin aren’t the only prominent players to keep an eye on this week. Creamer, who won the tournament formerly known as the Jamie Farr in 2008, always plays well at Highland Meadows. She is one of the most popular players in the field every year. “Yeah, I love this golf course,” she said. “I shot 60 here (in the first round in ’08). I have a lot of really good memories. This just fits my game.”

The small-budget Oakland Athletics are baseball's best team at the break in a division featuring some of the highest-paid stars.The Giants are right in the chase for the NLWest crown despite some recent stumbles. It's only mid-July and there is already talk of a special October and, perhaps, a Bay Bridge Series.

A’s, Giants give Bay Area high hopes for playoffs OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The small-budget Oakland Athletics are baseball’s best team at the break in a division featuring some of the sport’s highest-paid stars. The San Francisco Giants are right in the chase for the NL West title despite recent stumbles. Bay Area baseball has delivered a stellar first half. It’s only mid-July and there is already talk of a special October and, perhaps, the first Bay Bridge Series since 1989. California could have four teams still playing into October. The two organizations in Northern California have set the tone. “It’d be hard to find two teams in the same city doing as well as we are,” said Giants right-hander Tim Hudson, who began his career with the A’s. “It’s really exciting for all of the fans from both sides of the bay. They’ve had the opportunity over the years to have some really fun teams to watch, World Series-caliber teams every year. New York can’t say that, L.A. can’t really say that. It’s been fun.” Oakland, a major leaguebest 59-36 and the two-time defending AL West champion, produced a pair of sixgame winning streaks behind its reliable starting pitching. And general manager Billy Beane pulled off a July 4 trade with the Cubs that brought Jeff Samardzija and Jason

Hammel to a deep rotation that lost Jarrod Parker and A.J. Griffin to season-ending elbow injuries that required surgery. “We could probably go seven deep,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said. “Tommy Milone’s in Triple-A right now and with the numbers he’s put up, it means we’re creating a lot of depth to withstand whatever could potentially happen coming up in the second half.” Several offseasons ago, Beane committed to building from the bottom of the minor league system on up to make sure his club had the depth to withstand injuries, and that philosophy is working — even in a talented division that includes Robinson Cano in Seattle and power hitters Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols of the Angels. Oakland had its most wins ever before the All-Star break, and its six All-Stars were most for the A’s since 1975. “They’ve done a great job of stacking this team and this organization with guys who can get the job done at this level,” Oakland right fielder Josh Reddick said. “With the last two and now a third year, we’re proving that we’re here to be a true competitor and we’re showing that with the best record in baseball right now. It gives us confidence to

know that he (Beane) is wanting to go for the whole thing just as much as we are.” In each of the past two Octobers, the Tigers have eliminated Oakland in division series that went the fivegame maximum. The Giants, winners of the 2010 and ‘12 World Series, missed the playoffs last year and hope they can get back on a roll like the team across the bay. At 52-43, they are one game behind the NL Westleading Los Angeles Dodgers, and Tim Lincecum has won four straight starts for the first time since April 2010. “No question, the Giants have really established something here for a long period of time,” Melvin said. “It’s difficult to not only win a World Series, win two out of four, and be in the position they’re in right now. It could be really exciting for the Bay Area.” The Giants are counting on some reinforcements in the second half. Center fielder Angel Pagan and second baseman Marco Scutaro come back from injuries to give San Francisco the roster it envisioned. It led the NL West by 9 1/2 games when it was 42-21 on June 8, but has struggled since then. The Giants were outscored 19-7 in losing three out of four in their recent interleague series with the A’s.

FRIDAY, JULY 18, 2014 Put your best effort into your pursuits in order to rise above the competition. Refuse to let an unsettled situation curb your productivity. Focus on the positive, take the path of least resistance and find success in all of life’s detours. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Relatives and friends should not be allowed to meddle in your personal affairs. Your emotions will run high, but that doesn’t mean you should make assumptions. Get the facts before you cause a scene. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Take a leadership position. Your skills, compassion and ability to communicate will sway others to join whatever cause, fight or promotion you try to launch. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You will be enticed to spend more money than you should. Take a close look at your upcoming expenses and reconsider your plan for the day, with a mind to tightening your purse strings. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Keep the peace regardless of what others may do or say. The less said, the better. You don’t want to have regrets. Listen, but refrain from judgment. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t allow your stubbornness to hold you back. Co-workers may try to place the blame for a careless error on your shoulders. Stick to the truth, but don’t point fingers. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You need to take control of your life. Fight boredom by checking out activities that will help you meet new people and experience new ways of doing things. Embrace change. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Disagreements will get overheated if you aren’t willing to back down. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and giving everyone due consideration will show that you can be gracious. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Explore new places today. Make plans to travel somewhere you have never been before. Don’t stay home just because you don’t want to go somewhere alone. You’ll meet someone special if you venture out.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Put some effort into inexpensive projects. Your imagination will spark a few innovative ideas that won’t break the bank. Show others how versatile and inventive you can be. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — It will be tough to get along with everyone today. Take a back seat and avoid potentially contentious situations. Move on to a tranquil, relaxing setting. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t abuse the trust that others place in you. Being deceptive or dishonest could cause a lot of friction. Don’t risk losing a valuable friendship. Sit tight and let someone else make the first move. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You will face criticism if you are too outspoken. Don’t waste your energy on people who don’t share your vision. Collaborate with those who think along the same lines as you. SATURDAY, JULY 19, 2014 To see matters through, you’ll need to take on only what you know you can handle. If you are rushed or pressured, you will lose focus and fall short of your goals. Your discipline must be as strong as your desire to reach the top. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Your daily routine will suffer if you are overwhelmed with personal issues. Clear up any outstanding problems before you jeopardize your position, status or reputation. Put your best foot forward. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — An older or younger friend or relative will need help keeping up. Plan outings that make allowances for any weaknesses or disabilities that others have. Looking out for people will lead to greater popularity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Be very clear about what you can and cannot offer. Protect your peace of mind and back away from a problem that is unfixable. Don’t lend or borrow money or possessions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Reflect on your current relationships. Take some time to reconsider
