Bob Main: SCCF still has too many unknowns

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

COQUILLE — Coos County’s 2month-old South Coast Community Foundation vote stands, but Commissioner Bob Main still has reservations about the nonprofit’s bylaws.

Main pulled SCCF from the consent calendar at the commissioners’ Tuesday morning meeting since he missed the May 2 vote.

While Commissioners John Sweet and Melissa Cribbins’ SCCF approval was upheld, Main was hesitant to cheer the county’s membership since the details of the Community Enhancement Plan are still up in the air: the amount of community service fees the Jordan Cove Energy Project would pay; where those payments would go; how grants would be allocated; and how much would be invested in endowments.

There’s another unknown: Jordan

Chronology of county’s SCCF vote May 2 work session: Commissioners Melissa Cribbins and John Sweet approved the county’s SCCF membership, bylaws and appointed Sweet to the board of directors.

May 6 regular meeting: Deadline to put work session items on consent calendar had already passed.

May 20 regular meeting: Commissioner Bob Main was unable to attend.

June 3 regular meeting: Main returned from

vacation June 2, but the deadline for the regular and consent agendas had already passed.

June 17 regular meeting: A last-minute schedule change allowed Main to attend, but the agenda deadline had passed.

July 1 regular meeting: All commissioners were present; Main pulled SCCF from the consent calendar to be discussed in the regular meeting (Sweet recused himself from the discussion since he’s already serving on the SCCF board).

Cove hasn’t agreed in writing to any part of the CEP. “People elected me to do the public’s business. I’m not really comfortable with relinquishing that authority to some other group to do ‘great, wonderful things’ when it’s not spelled out,” Main said. “All it is, is talk — it’s not spelled out in this document (SCCF bylaws). I don’t feel ethically or morally comfortable with the whole thing at this point.”

Myrtle Point resident Jamie Myers said the fees would be better used hiring sheriff’s deputies for more coverage of rural Coos County.

Currently, 42.5 percent of countywide property taxes go toward local school districts; Coos County snags 11.6 percent.

Under the CEP, half of the community service fees would still go toward education; another 9.25 percent would go to the county. Without the CEP, 99 percent of Jordan Cove’s property taxes would go

A second deadline is coming on Sept. 30 when the government’s authority to spend money on transportation programs expires.

Virginia. “That would be like Congress threatening to lay off the entire population of Denver, Seattle or Boston,” he said.

Revenue from federal gas and diesel taxes continues to flow into the trust fund, but the total is expected to be about $8 billion short of the transportation aid the government has allocated to states this year. Over the next six years, a gap of about $100 billion is forecast if transportation spending is maintained at current levels.

SOUTH COAST — More Americans are expected to be on the road this holiday week than have been over any other Fourth of July week since 2007. AAA projects, in the Pacific Region, 5 million (80 percent of holiday travelers) plan to travel by car, which is an increase of 1.9 percent over last year.

The Independence Day holiday travel period is defined as Wednesday, July 2 to Sunday, July 6. Experts also say that one of the more popular destinations for Oregonians during that time is going to be the coast, particularly with temperatures that have been rising along with the gas prices.

“The Oregon Coast is always one of the top regional destinations for the summer holidays,” says AAA Oregon/Idaho Public Affairs Director Marie Dodds.

FORECAST

BY JOAN LOWY WASHINGTON — Gridlock in Washington will lead to gridlock across the country if lawmakers can’t quickly agree on how to pay for highway and transit programs, President Barack Obama and his top officials warned Tuesday.

States will begin to feel the pain of cutbacks in federal aid as soon as the first week in August — peak summer driving time — if Congress Transportation act, doesn’t Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a letter to states. That’s because the balance in the federal Highway Trust Fund is dropping and will soon go below $4 billion, the cushion federal officials say is needed for incoming fuel tax revenue to cover outgoing payments to states.

The cuts will vary from state to

COOS BAY — A changing of the guard is taking place at the Oregon State Police Coos Bay Area Command.

As of Tuesday, Lt. Steve Mitchell, 40, has replaced Lt. Steve Smartt as head of the regional command.

Smartt, an Elkton native who took over as commander in 2003, will now lead the agency’s LaGrande Area Command.

Mitchell most recently commanded the agency’s office at Oregon State University.

Before that, he spent time with the OSP Office of Professional Standards and in patrol positions in Klamath Falls, Roseburg and Central Point.

Mitchell said the agency’s highway safety mission is critical, especially in light of a crash near Bandon on Monday afternoon that killed two people.

“It’s our big priority,” he said.

The Coos Bay Area Command, based out of offices on Airport Lane in North Bend, oversees patrol duties for more than 342 miles of highway between Elkton and the California border.

The command’s 21 sworn officers and two nonsworn employees are based out of the agency’s North Bend office and a worksite in Gold Beach.

Fish and wildlife troopers under the command enforce hunting and fishing laws, and a detective handles major investigations and serves on the Coos County Major Crimes Team.

Anther trooper is assigned to the South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team.

the state starts to turn into an oven, it becomes an even more appealing vacation location.

Dodds says gas prices are not going to make things easier on families, but they are not expected to keep them at home either.

The current Oregon average is at its highest price of the year and could climb higher. Speculative market reaction to the turmoil in Iraq has had some impact on gas prices, but the availability of plentiful supplies of less expensive crude oil from Canada and North Dakota should mean that regional refineries will produce plenty of gasoline to meet seasonal demand.

“AAA says pump prices could just as easily come down as go up during the remainder of the summer travel season,” Dodds said.

The current national average for regular unleaded is $3.67, compared to $3.48 July 4, 2013. The current Oregon average is $3.98, compared to $3.76 Independence Day last year.

In Coos Bay, the price has already eclipsed the $4 barrier.

Dodds says the South Coast average us just under $4.01, compared

Money not the root of all VA problems Responding to the burgeoning scandal at Veterans Affairs medical centers, the U.S. Senate proposes to pump untold billions of dollars into the VA health care system.

Still, it should be remembered that money is not the root of the VA’s troubles.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Senate bill passed last week would cost $35 billion over the next three years and eventually cost $50 billion a year, more than doubling current spending on the VA health care system.

Realistically, more care will take money. But attention should remain focused on changing how the VA operates. The national debate didn’t start because the VA is underfunded. The debate began over allegations that VA careerists manipulate data to keep up appearances and obtain bonuses. Obfuscation, not money, remains the VA’s most pressing problem.

The Senate bill has measures that address the VA’s underlying shortcomings. The bill would make it easier to fire incompetent managers. VA medical centers would have to publish how long veterans wait for appointments.

The VA would have to make publicly available information about patient safety and treatment outcomes. Workers would be trained to ensure appointments are being efficiently scheduled and doctors are assigned an appropriate workload.

Rather than costing, these reforms would pay.

(Roseburg) News Review

Who wins in Cover Oregon debacle? The lawyers News reports late last month said that the state of Oregon has hired an army of lawyers and has issued demands for evidence and other material that could be used in a case against Oracle Corp.

The state paid Oracle, the world’s secondbiggest technology corporation, $134 million in federal money to build the online enrollment system for Cover Oregon. But the website never fully launched, requiring staff members to process part of each application by hand. All told, about $250 million in federal funds has been spent on Oregon’s exchange.

Kitzhaber has blamed Oracle for bungling the launch. In past statements, Oracle has defended its work, saying the state did not deliver requirements in a timely manner and

failed to staff the project with skilled personnel.

The state also has lawyered up to do battle with Oracle’s suits: In addition to this flurry of activity from the attorney general’s office, the state also has retained a Portland law firm. The law firm has been paid $352,000 thus far to prepare for a potential lawsuit and its contract now allows it to bill the state up to $2.5 million.

We bet that won’t cover it — although there always is a chance that the state could collect its legal fees if it prevails in court.

Cover Oregon’s online exchange didn’t do much for Oregon’s uninsured population. But it sure is turning out to be a bonanza for attorneys.

Albany Democrat-Herald

Finding a new way to foot the firefighting bill Amid predictions of a catastrophic fire season, officials at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior, which oversee the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, respective-

ly,are warning that wildfire-fighting costs this summer could run more than $400 million over budget.

It’s hardly a new situation. The costs of fighting fires wreak havoc on Forest Service and BLM budgets. That forces the agencies to shift money from other vital programs such as road maintenance, timber sales, recreation and, most significantly, fire prevention.

Last year, the Forest Service had to redirect more than $600 million from other programs to cover the cost of fighting fires.

Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden and Republican Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho have introduced a bill that treats major wildfires the same way the federal government does other natural disasters, tapping federal disaster funds that exist outside the normal USDA and Interior budgets. The senators estimate that the proposed changes would free more than $400 million annually for fire-prevention projects.

The White House has incorporated the new funding strategy into its budget request for the next fiscal year. Lawmakers should approve the Wyden-Crapo bill and make certain that federal agencies have the funding they need to fight wildfires without sacrificing efforts intended to prevent them in the first place.

Are we old enough yet?

Sue came in complaining about her aching back and about being tired after spending a hot day weeding the garden. I said, “Well, stop acting like you’re 50.” I’m pretty sure we had something I don’t like for dinner that night, or at least I did.

I didn’t mean it as an insult; it’s just that getting older sneaks up on you. Some days you wonder, why can’t I read more than a few pages of a book at night without falling asleep? I used to be able to read for hours at a time. “I’m old” wasn’t my first thought.

When you ask someone to twist off the cap on a jar of salsa for you, “I’m old” isn’t your first thought. When people start talking about spending the winter in Florida, “I’ll never do that, it’s for old people” won’t be your first thought.

It’s not as if Sue and I are old old, but we both wish we were only 50 again — back when we could get out of a chair after watching an hour of TV without feeling like someone had rabbitpunched us in the kidneys.

Back when people passing us on the freeway didn’t flash us rude hand gestures for going so slow.

Back when we only had one doctor, and we knew his name and what we were paying him for. Now JIM we get bills from doctors MULLEN we’ve never heard of for tests we don’t remember Humorist taking.

“Was that the one where they stuck that thing down my throat, or the one where they stuck that thing up the other end?”

“No,” Sue says, “that was last month.

This is the bill for the MRI on your knee.”

“That doesn’t seem as expensive as we thought.”

“This is just the bill for the guy who took the results from the technician, walked them down the hall and handed them to the doctor. We haven’t gotten the real bills yet.”

And we’re some of the lucky ones.

Neither of us are on chemo; we can still walk, we have our own teeth and the kids aren’t asking us who’s going to get Grandma’s dishes when we croak. Yet. The surprise is how getting old sneaks up on you. The first time you get a free copy of the AARP magazine in the mail, your first reaction is to hide it from your friends and family. “I’m not old,” you think. “I’m only 50! Why are they sending this to me?

There must be some mistake.” It takes about seven years before you stop tossing it automatically into the garbage. At some point, you start reading every issue word for word. You look at the famous people on the cover and realize that they are your age.

And they don’t look so bad. Of course they don’t look bad— they have personal trainers and personal chefs and they’re wearing makeup and a $500-an-hour stylist has just fluffed their hair.

Remember, when anybody on TV says that 50 is the new 30, or that 60 is the new 40, or that 70 is the new 50, they aren’t talking about you. They’re talking about Cher.

She’s 68 and looks great — but that’s her job!

Think how fantastic you would you look if you got paid to spend eight hours a day exercising, stretching, tweezing, dieting and shopping. That’s not even mentioning nips and tucks, capped teeth and hair weaves.

Madonna’s 55. Harrison Ford is 71. Sean Connery is 83. So that’s four people — out of 6 billion — who don’t look their age. And for all we know, they all need help opening a new jar of mayonnaise when they’re at home.

I’m not relishing the prospect of becoming feebler and feebler, but the trick is not to pretend to be young. The trick is learning how to be old.

Letters to the Editor Bill actually cuts fuel costs As the author of H.R. 4848, the Repeal and Rebuild Act, I wanted to correct the reader who wrote that should a barrel tax be implemented, oil companies would simply pass the costs on to consumers. That is not accurate.

According to a RAND study, oil producers would pay 7.2 percent of the tax, 4 percent paid by foreign oil companies. Combine those savings with the fact that I set the initial barrel of oil tax rate less than the current gas tax rate, consumers would pay lower fuel taxes for two years. I am sure all Oregonians would appreciate lower fuel taxes for the next two years.

Unfortunately, the most important part of the Repeal and Rebuild Act is getting lost in the fixation on taxes.We need to find a stable source of revenue for the Highway Trust Fund within the

next four weeks or road construction comes to a halt. Millions of jobs are at stake.

Cats and cat lovers unrecognized I’m concerned why there is no coverage given to the various animal nonprofit organizations that are working hard in our area to help the discarded animals that people have accumulated, not cared for and then thrown away.

One of the great attractions of the community to me and others is surely the humanity shown by the numerous organizations that take on the burden of caring for the homeless pets. For such a small population we have a lot of people who care and share their resources of time, money and expertise, not to mention humanity. So, with no publicity of the good works of these organizations, there is also no mention of

the indiscriminate killing of cats (could be your pet or one that has been welcomed in the past) by the new port manager at Charleston.

The Port cats at Charleston have been neutered, spayed and fed for years by a local animal care facility, and in return have probably aided in keeping the rodent population down, and now they are being trapped and killed. How could the cats have served a purpose all these past years suddenly become a target for an obviously sick human being.

And there is one more mystery that has never been addressed — the missing City Kitty of North Bend. Obviously adopted years ago, (like many businesses did and still do) and in the past month or so, found to be “too old and too much trouble” by someone at North Bend City Hall and therefore killed. (Kinda makes you think that this kinda thing should happen to that individual when they become old, too?)

There were people who called

and offered to take the kitty and let it live but it was dealt with silently and secretly, and no one is talking. And we are supposed to celebrate our city of North Bend?

As a citizen of North Bend, I’m ashamed of my community government officials and the neighboring one, as well. Dirty deeds done in secret need exposure and light. I like living in a community that’s known for good works, not dirty deeds.

The right’s mistake was waking the others The tea partyers made a serious blunder in Mississippi, costing them a runoff win: They carelessly slipped their magic passion potion to the opposition.

The hard right’s strength comes from the nearly religious fervor that propels its small numbers to the polls at times when the larger numbers are snoozing. In Mississippi, the right woke up the larger numbers.

Hold that thought, will you?

What had been a race between an old Southern pork-master Republican and an insurgent small-government firebrand was turned into something bigger, much bigger.

One sensed Chris McDaniel might be in trouble when Sen. Thad Cochran asked Democrats, black voters especially, to support him. (Such crossover voting is allowed under the rules.) But when the right-wingers went into rage mode, vowing to patrol the balloting, you knew it was all over.

They had handed the opposition a crusade to march in.

Just the hint of possible intimidation of black voters sent people to the polls — even though such fears did not seem to m a te r i a l i z e . FROMA Ballots cast at some predomi- HARROP nantly black Columnist precincts jumped 500 percent or more in the runoff over the June 3 primary.

The tea party delights in targeting less ideological Republicans, but it does so fair and square. Its people show up for primaries in midterm elections — again, when other voters are scarce.

The secret to right-wing turnout is social. The movement offers members community and a sense of belonging.Fox News offers nonstop entertainment, a daily parade of photogenic celebrities from the right. The soft-spoken

Cochran was not made for the dramatics of political TV. Politics as national spectacle do not linger on local concerns.

Note how McDaniel offered his voters not road projects funded by Washington but reflected glory.

Those on the left who try to copy this model on MSNBC and elsewhere fail. These shows tend to be wonky, and yes, lefty big thinkers can take on an air of superiority and exclusion.

Moderates are less likely to vote than partisans of either the right or the left, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey. And when it comes to primary elections, far more reliably conservative adults say they always vote than do consistent liberals.

Meanwhile, moderate voters tend to be younger and therefore more distracted by family and work than many on the right.

So let’s go back to the thought we were holding. We can discuss the reasons moderates and many liberals don’t bother voting in

lower-profile races.But those reasons cannot be excuses.

It’s exasperating to read headlines such as “Hopes Frustrated, Many Latinos Reject the Ballot Box Altogether.” In this New York Times story, an immigrant advoregister to trying cate 18-year-olds to vote could not get a single positive response.

The activist told the reporter, “They were like, ‘Why? Why would I bother to vote?’” The apparent reason was disappointment with both parties over immigration reform.

Thing is, the other side never gives up.The tea partyers lose,and then they’re back. They circle the dates of every upcoming primary on their calendars.

Moderates, by temperament, are generally unsuited to emoideological tion-packed campaigns. Thus, those seeking their votes must make voting itself their great cause.

They were lucky this time in Mississippi. The tea party won’t always be so helpful.

State Husband’s ‘harmless escapade’ has broken his wife’s heart DEAR ABBY: I just found out that my husband of 30 years is having an affair. When I confronted him, he said: “I have a girlfriend. I can’t imagine the rest of my life without girlfriends, so get over it!”

Then he told me he has never been faithful, but that he loves me and would be devastated if I left. He considers his fooling around to be “safe and harml e s s escapades.”

DEAR Abby, my heart is broken. He has flaunted this woman in my face, and embarrassed and humiliated me in public. Now he’s JEANNE angry with PHILLIPS me because I told her husband what is going on.

How do I find the strength and courage to leave? I have some health issues and haven’t worked in years. What do I tell our kids? My world is crashing down around my ears. — HEARTBROKEN IN THE SOUTH DEAR HEARTBROKEN: Your husband’s “escapades” are neither safe nor harmless to YOU. His behavior is callous, hurtful and disrespectful.

It’s very important that you remain calm and do nothing in haste. You will be better able to weigh your options if you talk to an attorney and find out what you're entitled to after having been married to this man for 30 years. And if you feel it would be helpful, find a licensed counselor to talk to.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a new husband, and things I thought I could tolerate before we were married are really bugging me now. I raised a daughter with another woman, and my current wife deleted every picture of her — from sonograms to her second birthday — and won’t let me keep anything of hers.

I understand she wants our lives to be about us, but I try to keep it separate and the resentments are starting to fester. I’d confront her, but she’s pregnant and has been extra emotional about me even leaving for work.

What do I do? Should I wait eight more months for the baby and then say something?

I’m afraid I will snap before then. — NEW HUSBAND IN WYOMING DEAR NEW HUSBAND: I’m no doctor, but you and your wife need to consult one.

She appears to be suffering from severe emotional problems. Her internist and gynecologist should be told what’s going on so she can start counseling and possibly medication to help her with her extreme insecurity. That she would have problems about you “even leaving for work” is not normal behavior, and you should waste no time in dealing with this.

DEAR ABBY: My sister “Beth” has a boyfriend, “Danny.” They have a 6month-old baby girl. Neither one has a driver’s license, and they both have low-paying part-time jobs.

Beth expects us to baby-sit, take her to the doctor, etc.

Mom is now starting to refuse to do more than baby-sit on Sunday, because she says Beth needs to get her license and look for a better job, and it won’t happen until she’s “pushed to the wall.” Only then will she realize she has to.

I agree, but I feel Beth and Danny should pursue their dreams. It takes money to get a license, and where we live there is no public transportation. What’s your take on this tug-of-war? — BIG BROTHER IN CALIFORNIA DEAR BIG BROTHER: Listen to your mother. The chances of your sister and her boyfriend attaining their dreams while working at lowpaying part-time jobs are not great. What they need now is help in gaining their independence. While your mother may have put it in harsh terms, she has the right idea.

Bend fire reward reaches $43K

The Associated Press

Elephants at the Oregon Zoo cool off Tuesday in Portland. Lily, the baby, continuously dove into the water, splashing around and into her mom, Rose-Tu, and brother, Samudra.

90-degree temperatures scorch Pacific Northwest PORTLAND (AP) — Don’t tell the rest of the country, but people in the Pacific Northwest are feeling the heat.

While the South roasted under triple-digit temperatures, Portland residents sweated through their tank tops Tuesday, the city’s hottest day so far this year at 99 degrees.

That may not sound like much to hot-weather warriors in Arizona, where it was a dry 108 degrees Tuesday.

But people in swimming holes on Oregon’s Sandy River and on rocky beaches in Washington state had a message for their skeptical countrymen: If you turn up the heat, do we not burn?

Also, cut us a break, we don’t have air conditioners.

“Two days ago, we were at 67 (degrees),” Vicki Sekiguchi said while she kept an eye on her children paddling in a swimming hole east of Portland. “When we go to a 30-degree change, that’s a lot. A heck of a lot.”

Sure, people in hotter

spots might roll their eyes.

Some even brought their warm-weather superiority to the rainy region.

“I grew up in Texas, where you fry eggs on the sidewalk,” said Kira Rodenbush, who laid out in a swimsuit on a rocky shore near Troutdale. “Where I grew up, this is Thanksgiving.”

The Pacific Northwest suffered one last weather indignity: Even meteorologists declined to classify one hot day as a heat wave.

In fact, Tuesday’s high temperature in Portland didn’t come close to the record for July 1. It reached 105 in 1942.

Seattle’s high of 94 at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport did set a July 1 record, besting the old mark of 89, set last year, the National Weather Service said.

Weather in the region was expected to moderate Wednesday as a cooler maritime front pushes in from the Pacific Ocean.

Tuesday also didn’t have much on summer 2009, when a heat wave (a real one) rocked the region in late July and few were prepared.

Some froze their clothes to stay cool.

But there were upsides to the heat. At Shirley’s Tippy Canoe, restaurateur Shirley Wellton watched the crowds pack into the eatery near the river to watch the U.S. lose to Belgium in the World Cup and, well, drink.

“We’ve got to watch them when it gets dark,” she said, peeking over her shoulder at 25 rowdy soccer fans. “Right behind us is the river. You don’t want them tumbling in.”

Rodenbush, who believed Tuesday was a Texas said Thanksgiving, Oregonians will briefly embrace that yellow orb in the sky. But not for long.

“Pretty soon people are going to be wishing for the rain again,” Rodenbush said.

“As soon as it gets too hot, they’re saying, when is fall coming?”

Oregon hires firm to link to federal health site PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon has hired a tech firm to help transfer the botched Cover Oregon health insurance exchange to the federal exchange website and finish building the state’s Medicaid system.

Health The Oregon Authority will pay Deloitte Consulting LLC up to $18.4 million to be the “system integrator” that oversees the transition.

It’s the same company that was hired to do an analysis and build a roadmap for the transition. In April, Deloitte recommended the state abandon its troubled exchange because it would be cheaper to switch to the federal site than to fix it.

Cover Oregon officials heeded its call and decided to switch to the federal portal.

Oregon’s exchange was the only one in the nation that didn’t let the public enroll in coverage in one sitting. Instead, Oregonians had to use a time-consuming hybrid paper-online appli-

cation process to get health insurance. Six top officials connected to the Cover debacle have Oregon resigned.

The decision to forego a system integrator on the original Cover Oregon website was widely blamed for contributing to the site’s failure to launch.

An investigation ordered

by Gov. John Kitzhaber also found that state managers failed to heed reports about problems that hindered the launch, and that contractor Oracle Corp. did a shoddy job in building the exchange.

Deloitte will create a new website that will redirect Oregonians to HealthCare.gov to enroll in private plans and to the OHA website to enroll in Medicaid. And it will facilitate the transfer of information between OHA and the federal exchange.

The company also will transfer the current Cover Oregon technology for Medicaid to the state’s

Medicaid system.

The state solicited bids from 10 contractors for the integrator job, and Deloitte was one of three that submitted a bid.

Testing will begin in midAugust. State officials say the transition will be finished by the next open enrollment in November.

Despite the technology problems, Oregon has enrolled about 315,000 people in coverage through Oregon.

Nearly Cover 90,000 of those enrolled in private health plans, while the rest enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan, the state’s version of Medicaid.

The state enrolled an additional 137,000 people in Medicaid through a fasttrack process not connected to the exchange.

A grand jury is investigating Oregon’s exchange, as is the federal Government Accountability Office and the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Sheriff: Teen dies at Wildwood Falls COTTAGE GROVE (AP) — A Lane County sheriff’s officer says a 16-year-old boy died after he tried to rescue his younger brother, who had slipped on rocks near the top of Wildwood Falls near Cottage Grove. The younger boy survived.

Sgt. Carrie Carver says the victim was walking on rocks near the falls Tuesday afternoon with his brother when the younger boy slipped and began to slide down the rocks into the water.

of the falls.

Witnesses say the older boy went into the water to save his brother and both went down a narrow chute of water.

Carver says the younger boy emerged from the water

but the older boy did not.

The spokeswoman says the older brother’s body was recovered after a tow truck was brought in to remove a large log from the water chute, allowing access to the victim.

BEND (AP) — A reward for information about a fire that threatened west Bend earlier this month has grown to $43,000.

The Bulletin newspaper of Bend reports investigators are still conducting interviews about the Two Bulls fire.

The Deschutes County sheriff’s office has described it as human caused, and possibly a case of arson.

On June 7, a fire lookout spotted two separate fires near Tumalo Reservoir that eventually merged, resulting in the evacuation of about 200 homes. Eight days later, the fire was declared contained.

The fire burned in an area of 6,908 acres, nearly 11 square miles.

Cascade Timberlands, a timber holding company, owns most of the acreage.

Company forester Bill Swarts says he’s evaluating whether to do salvage logging.

Man killed in Klamath County town

PENDLETON (AP) — One of three men accused of killing an 80-year-old Eastern Oregon woman in a home invasion robbery has pleaded guilty to lesser charges in a deal with the prosecution.

Umatilla County District Attorney Dan Primus says 20year-old Jacob Lee White has pleaded guilty to robbery and burglary.

The East Oregonian reports he’ll be sentenced after the trials of two other suspects in the killing of Joyce Key near Milton-Freewater.

Authorities said she was tied to a kitchen chair, blindfolded and beaten. She died months later.

Awaiting trial in December is 22-year-old Caleb Leon John Scott. He’s accused of murder.

KLAMATH FALLS (AP) — in Klamath Authorities County say a woman has been arrested in the shooting death of a man in Bly, a small town east of Klamath Falls.

District Attorney Rob Patridge said in a statement the shooting happened Monday but released few details about it.

He identified the victim as 23-year-old Blake Anthony Brazeal. He said 58-year-old Marilyn Ann Harding was in custody.

PORTLAND (AP) — A Lake Oswego man facing a possible death sentence for killing his mother and nephew has made a bargain with prosecutors: a life sentence without possibility of parole and no appeals to higher courts.

The Oregonian reports that Adrien Graham Wallace was sentenced Tuesday.

Last week, a jury took about 12 minutes to convict him of aggravated murder.

After conferring with his attorneys, Wallace decided not to go ahead with the sentencing phase in which the jury could have sentenced him to die.

Wallace did not deny killing 71-year-old Saundra Sue Wallace in 2012, along with 16-year-old Nicholas Brian Juarez. They were shot at close range with a militarystyle rifle.

His lawyers made an insanity defense, and a psychologist said he had paranoid schizophrenia.

Facing execution — man takes life sentence

SCIO (AP) — A Linn County sheriff’s officer says a missing 91-year-old man with dementia has been found dead in a creek.

Undersheriff Jim Yon says Ashby “Al” Getz was reported missing late Monday night from a residence outside Scio.

The property backs up to Thomas Creek. Getz had last been seen earlier in the evening reading a book inside the home.

The sheriff’s office used deputies, county search and rescue responders and the county dive team to search for the man. The Oregon Air National Guard sent a helicopter.

Yon says the man’s body was found by the Oregon Air National Guard on Tuesday morning in the middle of the creek. The dive team recovered the body.

MEDFORD (AP) — A 40year-old southern Oregon man accused of stealing valuable packages, including thousands of dollars in cash, when he worked as a FedEx driver has been sentenced to more than three years in federal prison.

Mail The Medford Tribune reports that Victor Manuel Chavez was sentenced Monday in Medford after earlier pleading guilty to single counts of theft from an interstate shipment and money laundering.

Court papers say that during four years of work for FedEx, Chavez helped sort packages flown to Medford and routed to delivery trucks driven by Chavez and others.

Prosecutors say Chavez would identify packages he believed contained large amounts of cash and make sure those items wound up on his truck. Police say he took those packages home.

Officials suspect the packages contained payments for out-of-state sales of Oregon-grown marijuana.

Court documents say he is also suspected of rerouting and stealing electronics and sporting equipment.

The newspaper says federal investigators conservatively estimate the amount of cash and loot taken in the scheme at $200,000.

Do-it-yourself pet meds and more reader tips I love to read my mail because so much of it contains great ideas and tips from my awesome EC readers. Take a look at this small sampling and tell me if this just doesn’t make you happy, too!

DIY pet meds. Trips to the veterinarian for puppy and b o os te r shots can EVERYDAY very CHEAPSKATE be expens i v e .

M o s t reliable pet stores a n d grooming shops sell the medications Mary and offer instrucHunt tions so you can inject your pets at home. It is easy and cheap. You can find instructional videos online that will teach you exactly how to inject your pet.

Veterinarians in my area charge from $25 to $45 for each injection. The same shots from the same manufacturers purchased from grooming shops or pet stores can be more like $5 to $10 each. It is legal in most states to administer these medications to your pet. Be sure to check yours. — Tracey H. Travel light and save. It may sound like mission impossible, but if you learn to travel light with only your carry-on you will save a tremendous amount of time and money. You can ride the bus instead of hiring a cab.

You won’t have to tip porters to carry all your suitcases.

And if your flight is overbooked, you can volunteer to get bumped (you’ll get a voucher for a free ticket), and not worry about whether you will ever catch up with your checked luggage. — Joe D. Forget the dump method.

Thankfully at my house we all help with the laundry.

However, I noticed that my boys used way too much detergent, filling the plastic cup enclosed in the box to overflowing. I read the box to determine the amount of detergent recommended, and noted that their plastic cup held almost twice that amount! When filled to overflowing, the box would hardly wash half the number of loads indicated on the box. I replaced their cup with my own 1⁄3 cup dry measuring cup and now we get twice as many loads per box of detergent as before. — Pat W. Turn the hanger around.

When hanging suit jackets or blazers on a commercial wooden hanger that has a curved shape, place the hanger backward with the curved side toward you. Then hang the suit jacket or blazer facing you. Placing the hanger backward keeps the shape of the shoulders in a sturdier tighter position, and that means fewer professional pressings required. — Judy G. Tennie tune-up. I have a 2-year-old daughter who is very hard on tennis shoes.

Whenever her shoes start looking a little ragged I use 1 tablespoon of Soft Scrub cleaner on a clean smooth rag and wipe the scuff marks, chewing gum, play dough and dirt from the smooth parts of shoes. (This also works well for white cloth shoes, but not colored shoes because there is a small amount of bleach in the Soft Scrub.) I add a new pair of shoelaces and that extends the useful life of her shoes that I might otherwise have discarded because they looked so shabby. — Sharai K. Quick fix for static cling.

In the winter season static cling is always a problem.

Keep a dryer sheet in your purse (half a sheet is plenty).

When your hair gets static cling lightly stroke the ends of your hair with the dryer sheet. No more cling! Works great for skirts and trousers, too. Simply run that sheet across your legs and the problem will be solved. One sheet lasts for many uses; it also smells great! — Nancy M. 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.

Nation and World Boy Scout brought gun from Nevada Islamic state is threat to region N EWS D I G E S T

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Police say a 12-year-old boy who died from a gunshot wound at a Boy Scout camp in San Diego brought the handgun with him from his hometown of Las Vegas.

San Diego County coroner’s investigators performed an autopsy Tuesday, but neither they nor police would say whether the shooting was self-inflicted or accidental.

Police Lt. Mike Hastings tells the Los Angeles Times the gun wasn’t registered.

Initial reports said he was shot The Associated Press in the head,but police now say Palestinians throw stones during clashes with Israeli border police in Jerusalem on Wednesday.The suspect- it was the upper torso.

Suspected revenge killing sparks Jerusalem clashes JERUSALEM (AP) — The suspected abduction of an Arab teen followed by the discovery of a body in Jerusalem on Wednesday ignited clashes between Israeli police and stone-throwing Palestinians, who saw it as a revenge attack for the killing of three Israeli teens in the West Bank.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said authorities were investigating the teenager’s disappearance and trying to identify the body, found in a forest on the outskirts of town.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to calm the situation, urging authorities to swiftly investigate the “reprehensible murder” and calling on all sides “not to take the law into their own hands.”

Tensions have mounted between Israel and the Palestinians since the bodies of the three Israeli teens were found in the West Bank on Monday, more than two weeks after they went missing. On Tuesday hundreds of right-wing Jewish youths marched through Jerusalem calling for revenge.

Israel has accused Hamas of abducting and killing the three teens, and has arrested hundreds of its members across the West Bank. Rocket fire from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip has meanwhile

intensified, and been met with Israeli air strikes.

The missing boy, Mohammed Abu Khdeir, 17, was approached by a car early Wednesday in a Palestinian neighborhood of east Jerusalem and then forced into it before it sped off, his cousin Saed Abu Khdeir said.

He believes his cousin was murdered by Israelis in an act of revenge. “It’s a clear crime by settlers in revenge for the killing of the three,” he said.

Rosenfeld said police received a report early Wednesday that an Arab teen was “forcibly pulled into a vehicle” in an area of east Jerusalem and that an hour later a body was discovered in a separate part of the city.

As news of the youth’s disappearance spread, hundreds of Palestinians in east Jerusalem torched light rail train stations and hurled stones at Israeli police, who responded with tear gas and stun grenades.

At midafternoon, masked men holed up in a mosque in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina lobbed rocks toward Israeli security forces in the street below.

Police responded by firing stun grenades toward the mosque, as a small group of Palestinian youths stood to the side.

The street was largely deserted and littered with rocks and debris, as a small fire set next to a large green trash bin spewed black smoke into the air. There were no reports of injuries.

Rosenfeld said security was heightened following the clashes, with extra units dispatched and light rail service cut short to avoid the violence. Police also closed a key holy site in Jerusalem’s Old City to visitors after rock throwing there.

Israeli officials urged calm as police investigated the incidents.

“Everything is being examined. There are many possibilities. There is a criminal possibility as well as a political one,” Israel’s public security minister, Yitzhak Aharonovitch, told Israel Radio. “I am telling everyone, let us wait patiently.”

We s t e r n - b a c k e d President Palestinian Mahmoud Abbas called on Netanyahu in a statement to condemn the death.

Nabil Abu Rdeneh, a spokesman for Abbas, said Israel was being held responsible for the death and called on it to “find the killers and hold them accountable,” according to the Palestinian official news agency Wafa.

Buses with migrant families rerouted amid protest SAN DIEGO (AP) — Homeland Security buses carrying migrant children and families were rerouted Tuesday to a facility in San Diego after American flagwaving protesters blocked the group from reaching a suburban processing center.

The standoff in Murrieta came after Mayor Alan Long urged residents to complain to elected officials about the plan to transfer the Central to migrants American California to ease overcrowding of facilities along the Texas-Mexico border.

Many protesters held U.S. flags, while others held signs reading “stop illegal immigration,” and “illegals out!”

“We can’t start taking care of others if we can’t take care of our own,” protester Nancy Greyson, 60, of Murrieta, told the Desert Sun newspaper.

Many of the immigrants

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Throughout California’s desperately dry Central Valley, those with water to spare are cashing in.

As a third parched summer forces farmers to fallow fields and lay off workers, two water districts and a pair of landowners in the heart of the state’s farmland are making millions of dollars by auctioning off their private caches.

Nearly 40 others also are seeking to sell their surplus water this year, according to state and federal records.

China leader sends message north SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Xi Jinping’s first visit to the Korean Peninsula as China’s president is to Seoul, not Pyongyang, meaning that North Korea’s best friend has snubbed it for its most bitter rival. A flurry of recent rocket and missile tests, the latest on Wednesday, has made the North’s displeasure crystal clear.

Xi’s choice to meet

Court agrees that your privacy matters WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court justices found more common ground than usual this year, and nowhere was their unanimity more surprising than in a ruling that police must get a judge’s approval before searching the cellphones of people they’ve arrested.

The term that just ended also had its share of 5-4 decisions with the familiar conservative-liberal split, including Monday’s ruling on religion, birth control and the health care law.

But the 9-0 cellphone decision last week may be the most consequential of the justices’ 67 rulings this term. It signaled a high degree of skepticism about the government’s authority, without any need to satisfy an impartial judge, to sweep up vast quantities of information that individuals store on computers and cellphones, as well as other records that companies keep online.

VA secretary nominee not an expert WASHINGTON (AP) — Robert McDonald is a onetime Army Ranger and former CEO of consumer products giant Procter & Gamble. Now he may face his toughest challenge yet in fixing the scandal-plagued Veterans Affairs Department.

The longtime corporate executive was nominated by President Barack Obama to lead the VA and overhaul an agency reeling from revelations of widespread treatment delays and falsified records to cover up monthslong waits for appointments.

Veterans groups worry that McDonald may have trouble adjusting to a farflung bureaucracy of more than 300,000 employees, where hundreds of hospital directors and other career executives wield great power far from Washington.

After the buses were blocked, federal authorities rerouted the vehicles to a freeway and then to a customs and border facility in San Diego within view of the Mexico border.

The three buses were trailed by a half-dozen news crews during the two-hour

trip. People near the San Diego facility were surprised by the caravan.

Juan Silva, 27, a welder in Chula Vista, said he thought officials were transporting drug traffickers. Then he heard the buses were carrying migrant families.

“I don’t think people in that town should be against little kids,” he said about the protesters in Murrieta.

Iraq can’t wait for US military aid WASHINGTON (AP) — Iraq is increasingly turning to other governments like Iran, Russia and Syria to help beat back a rampant insurgency because it cannot wait for additional American military aid, Baghdad’s top envoy to the U.S. said Tuesday.

Such an alliance could test the Obama administration’s influence overseas and raise risks for the U.S. as some of its main global opponents consider joining forces. Moreover, such a partnership could also solidify a Shiite-led crescent across much of the Mideast at a time when the Sunni-led insurgency in Iraq is trying to create an Islamic state through the region.

Thursday with South Korean President Park Geun-hye over North Korean leader Kim Jong Un upends past practice — ever since Beijing and Seoul forged diplomatic ties in 1992 — to make Pyongyang first. It highlights Beijing’s interest in nurturing booming economic ties with Seoul, while sending Pyongyang a message about its destabilizing pursuit of nuclear weapons.

BAGHDAD (AP) — An extremist group’s declaration of an Islamic state in territory it has seized in Iraq and Syria poses a threat to the entire region, Iraq’s prime minister said Wednesday, warning that “no one in Iraq or any neighboring country will be safe from these plans.”

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant announced this week that it has unilaterally established a caliphate in the areas under its control.

It declared the group’s leader, Abu Bakr alBaghdadi, the head of its new self-styled state governed by Shariah law and demanded that all Muslims pledge allegiance to him.

Faily stopped short of describing enduring military relationships with any of the other nations that are offering to help Iraq fight the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

And he said Baghdad would prefer to work with the U.S. But Faily said delays in U.S. aid have forced Iraq to seek help elsewhere. He also called on the U.S. to launch targeted airstrikes as a “crucial” step against the insurgency.

“That choice is primarily from the need, rather than the desire,” Faily told an audience at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington. “Further delay only benefits the terrorists.”

So far, the Obama admin-

has resisted istration airstrikes in Iraq but has not ruled them out.

Faily’s comments came as chaos in Baghdad continued.

Despite a constitutional deadline to name a new parliament speaker, minority Sunni and Kurdish lawmakers walked out of the first session of the newly seated legislature on Tuesday, dashing hopes for the quick formation of a new government that could hold the country together in the face of a militant blitz. Hours later, ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi called on Muslims worldwide to join the battle and help build an Islamic state in land that the extremist group controls in Iraq and Syria.

indicated the administration doesn’t believe there is enough support in Congress to pass a gas tax increase.

“We have said if Congress acts on something, we’ll keep an open mind,” Foxx said.

Instead, Obama is pushing a plan to close tax loopholes and use the revenue to pay for increased transportation spending for the next four years.

“We have a proposal we think is politically acceptable,” Foxx said.

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Michigan, floated a similar proposal in April. But many Republicans say they’d rather offset increases in transportation spending with cuts to other government programs rather than tax increases. And many lawmakers say they want to continue to the trust fund’s “user pays” principle by raising money from people who most use the roads, if not through a gas tax then some other means.

Nitpicking the SCCF bylaws is “redundant” at this point, said Coquille resident Mary Geddry, since “the whole plan is flawed.”

“The fact that you haven’t gone to the attorney general to see if this is all legal, makes me question your leadership,” said Rob Taylor, of Bandon. “You’re promoting a scam to take advantage of a flaw in the system (school funding equalization formula).”

Main and Cribbins appointed Cribbins as the member proxy to represent the county at SCCF’s annual meeting.

Sweet sat out the entire discussion, citing a conflict of interest since he is already serving on the SCCF board.

“I wish I could’ve said something because there’s so much misinformation out there that’s just absurd,” Sweet said after the meeting.

Those steps include “minimization” that leaves out the names of Americans from intelligence reports unless they are relevant.

“Overall, the board finds that the protections contained in the Section 702 minimization procedures are reasonably designed and implemented to ward against the exploitation of information acquired under the program for illegitimate purposes,” said the report. “The board has seen no trace of any such illegitimate activity associated with the program.”

NSA’s Internet monitoring said to be legal WASHINGTON — The first time the bipartisan Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board dissected a National Security Agency surveillance program, it found fundamental flaws, arguing in a January report that the NSA’s collection of domestic calling records “lacked a viable legal foundation” and should be shut down.

But in its latest study, the five-member board takes the opposite view of a different set of NSA programs revealed last year by former NSA systems administrator Edward Snowden.

The new report, which the board was to vote on Wednesday, found that the NSA’s collection of Internet data within the United States passes constitutional muster and employs “reasonable” safeguards designed to protect the rights of Americans.

The board, whose members were appointed by President Barack Obama, largely endorsed a set of NSA surveillance programs that have provoked worldwide controversy since Snowden disclosed them. However, the board’s report said some aspects of the programs raise privacy concerns meriting new internal intelligence agency safeguards.

Under a provision of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act known as Section 702, the NSA uses court orders and taps on fiber optic lines to target the data of foreigners living abroad when their emails, web chats, text messages and other communications tra-

If the CEP falls through, the URD would have to be dissolved or the urban renewal agency would have to decline property tax payments in order for 15.82 percent of property taxes to go to county coffers.

But that’s unlikely to happen, Main said, since the URD has a debt of $300,000 to $400,000 that needs to be paid off.

There’s still wording in the SCCF bylaws that irks him.

Funding should go toward education only, he said.

Section 6.5 of the bylaws says funds can go to governmental bodies, school districts, education service districts, cities, community colleges or charitable 501(c)(3) organizations.

A majority of SCCF’s four members can amend the bylaws, according to Sec. 6.1.1. Main echoed Coos Bay councilor Mark Daily’s concerns at the council’s May 6

Mania for WCup lacking locally If it takes a big man to admit his mistakes, call me Hagrid.

Two weeks ago, I devoted this side of the sports page to complaining about the World Cup. I droned on and on about lamesoccer this, and boring-timing that.

I turned into a typing cliché, dismissing soccer a few days in because I wasn’t as familiar with the viewing experience as some of the more seasoned fans.

I’ve now seen the err of my ways. I take it all back. Even the stuff about the playclock counting up.

An hour after turning in my first column I got swept away by the Netherlands comeback of Australia. Since then, the World Cup has been producing powerhouse endings like a young Shyamalan.

I forgot how awesome the exuberance in Martin Tyler’s voice when he blurts out, “with the equalizer!” It’s only rivaled by Gus Johnson’s, “cold-blooded!” in the world of excitable sports play-by-play. (Coincidentally, Johnson will be taking over head duties for Tyler when Fox takes over the Cup in 2018. It’s like replacing Jordan with LeBron, only with guys who get excited when a net ripples.)

My interest may have peaked Sunday when I ran around the office like a overly-caffienSPORTS ated child when my Greeks scored their lone regulations goal.

I caught World Cup fever and expected the Bay Area too, as well.

Not the case.

At least not in GEORGE public.

Ratings are ARTSITAS high nationwide, but at establishments around the area the sets are on and nobody’s watching.

There aren’t any businesses using their signs to say “Go U.S.” or showing any kind of support for the Cup — Nassburg Insurance gets a pass for consistently bringing rock solid puns.

I haven’t seen any American flags flying on cars, even with Independence Day a few dozen hours away.

We just don’t seem to care about the U.S. Men’s National Team around here like in other places.

Back in 2010, I did a story about a bar owner in San Diego that had to sleep on an air mattress in her office so she could open her bar before 4:30 a.m. when the games started. People were lining up around the block before sunrise in San Diego. And that wasn’t an outlier, that came from me just picking a bar in the phonebook and calling.

Believe it or not, Coos Bay is not San Diego.

I called up eight of the most popular local bars in the area and no one was planning anything remotely special for the game. No parties or events, just keeping the channel on ESPN like usual.

I decided to check out four of the bars anyway, see if I could find a pack of fans in red white and blue screaming at the television.

I got nothing — or I guess nil.

I’m not shocked. People have jobs, they can’t be watching soccer and finding the bottom of beer bottles in the afternoon. I get that, but I guess I just expected more. We’ve run stories in The World about how people are taking off work to watch the games around the country. Somehow that collective lapse in judgment skipped the Bay Area.

Throughout all the bars I went to, I only found one guy wearing a USA jersey. Ben Morris, a Coast Guardsman, was decked out in a white Michael Bradley jersey with a white headband and skinny red, white and blue arm bands stacked up on his left forearm.

I had to ask him why he was the only guy I had seen around here watching the game with a jersey.

“That’s what I’m wondering,” Morris said.

Me too, Morris. Me too.

Sprint car series invades Coos Bay

By Lou Sennick, The World

A group of sprint cars are lined up and start to speed up for the green flag at the start of a heat Tuesday evening at the Coos Bay Speedway for the American Sprint Car Series Speedweek Northwest series stop. Top, Josh Bearden, No. 05, leads Gary Bearden, in the blue car behind, during the races.

Local drivers mix it up during Speedweek

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — At Coos Bay Speedway on Tuesday, local drivers shared the track with some of the pros as the American Sprint Car Series-Northwest Regional visited town for part three of its Speedweek tour.

Hundreds of South Coasters came out to watch Colin Baker of Cottage Grove win the Feature A main More online: event, with See the gallery Kyle Hirst theworldlink.com. coming in second and Rico Abreu rolling into third. Baker is the third different winner in the past three ASCS Speedweek events.

“That was incredible,” said an ecstatic Baker to Ben Deatheridge for the ASCS in victory lane. “I had some of the best in the business behind me and to do it like that, I can’t say enough for my team.”

In the Feature B main event, Chase Johnson won with Jared Ridge following behind him in second and Phil Dietz coming in third.

Drivers and crews check out the dirt track Tuesday evening at the Coos Bay Speedway prior to the start of racing in this stop of the American Sprint Car Series Speedweek Northwest series.

Sandwiched between the two sprint races, four locals came away with first-place trophies.

The headliner for the local races was the Sportsman, which was taken easily by Ryan Baker.

The second place finisher, Wayne Butler, didn’t finish until more than 9 seconds later. Alicia Post finished third.

Ryan Baker is only 15 years old and goes to Coquille High School.

He is on his second year competing at the Speedway and has been racing since he was eight. He says racing is, “all I know,” and just let his instincts take over Tuesday.

“I would say (I was a little more

patient),” he said as his team strapped down his green 18 car into the trailer behind him. “I feel that I just waited it out and saw how everything was going to go and took it from there.”

John Keen won the Mini division as Carl Johnson and John Henry followed in second and third, respectively.

The Minis shared a track with the Hornets, where Dylan Siwell cruised to an easy victory. Siwell was the only Hornet car to finish the full 20 laps and was followed

by Mike Simmons in second and Nic Frost in third. Bandon local Siwell, 19, has won the past three

races at the Speedway and is pleased with the success consistency has brought him recently.

“It was the shoes,” Siwell joked after getting a pair of inflammable Speedway boots for Tuesday.

“I ran about like the last three times,” Siwell explained. “The track was nice and I was smooth.”

In the Street Stock division, Ken Fox took the top prize in a squeaker. Gary Bearden finished less than a half-second behind Fox and Tom Williams finished third.

Fox was the rookie of the year driver last year. His goal this season is to get three wins and a championship. Tuesday was his first win of the year and he thinks his grit and grind is what ultimately got him the checkered flag.

“I didn’t do anything abnormal or normal,” Fox said. “I’ve been working hard and it pays off.”

After winning their races, Siwell and Fox both left their cars to watch the sprint cars. When they walked back after watching Johnson win, each had a trophy waiting for them on the hood of their cars.

The ASCS will travel to Lebanon today for its fourth race during Speedweek. The next scheduled event at the Speedway will be the Eve of Destruction V Fireworks Extravaganza on July 12.

United States' goalkeeper Tim Howard saves a shot by Belgium during the World Cup match between Belgium and the USA at the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador, Brazil on Tuesday. Despite Howard’s record 16 saves, Belgium advanced with a 2-1 victory.

Belgium dashes U.S. hopes

BY RONALD BLUM The Associated Press SALVADOR, Brazil — They captured the hearts of America — from coast to coast, big towns and small, all the way to the White House.

Capturing the World Cup will have to wait.

Just like four years ago, the United States is going home after the round of 16, beaten when

Belgium scored twice in extra time Tuesday and then held on for a 2-1 win.

“Thirty-one teams get their heart broken,” goalkeeper Tim Howard said. “It has to end sometime. It ended a little bit early for us.”

Playing the finest game of his career, Howard stopped a dozen shots to keep the Americans even through regulation and force an

additional 30 minutes. He wound up with 16 saves — the most in the World Cup since FIFA started keeping track in 2002.

Before exiting, the U.S. showed the spunk that won America’s attention. The Belgians built a twogoal lead when Kevin De Bruyne scored in the 93rd minute and Romelu Lukaku in the 105th.

LONDON— Simona Halep of Romania and Eugenie Bouchard of Canada will meet for a place in the Wimbledon final after winning quarterfinal matches in straight sets Wednesday.

The third-seeded Halep, down 4-1 in the first set, won 11 games in a row to beat 2013 finalist Sabine Lisicki of Germany 6-4, 6-0 in 57 minutes on Centre Court.

The 13th-seeded Bouchard defeated No. 9 Angelique Kerber of Germany 6-3, 6-4 to reach the semifinals at a third consecutive Grand Slam.

“I’m just excited to be in the semis again and I want to go one step further for sure,” Bouchard said.

Halep, runner-up at the French Open, is the first Romanian woman to get this far at the All England Club since the Open era began in 1968. Bouchard, who hasn’t dropped a set in five matches, is the first Canadian woman to reach the Wimbledon semifinals.

Their progress to the final four has underlined the rise of a new crop of players in the women’s game. Former champions Serena

Wacky haircuts standout at WCup

Missed chance in final minutes From Page B1 But then Julian Green, at 19 the third-youngest player in the tournament, stuck out his right foot to volley in Michael Bradley’s pass over the defense in the 107th, two minutes after entering.

“I was sure that we would make the second goal and we would go to the penalty shootout,” Green said.

The Americans nearly did.

In the 114th, Clint Dempsey peeled away on a 30-yard free kick by Bradley, who passed ahead to Chris Wondolowski. He fed Dempsey, and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois bolted off his line to block the 6-yard shot.

At the final whistle, the U.S. players fell to the field in their all-white uniforms like so many crumpled tissues.

“They made their country proud with this performance and also with their entire performance in this World Cup,” said Jurgen Klinsmann, the former German World Cup champion who took over as coach three years ago.

The Americans advanced from a difficult first-round group to reach the knockout rounds of consecutive World Cups for the first time. Four years ago, they were eliminated by Ghana 2-1 on a goal in the third minute of extra time.

“Getting to the round of 16, if we don’t do that, we’re very, very disappointed,” U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said. “We get here and it’s kind of the swing game. We get beyond here, then it’s generally viewed as very successful — this year was a little different because of the group we had in the first round, so that I think is already a success.”

The crowd of 51,227 at Arena Fonte Nova appeared to be about one third proU.S., with 10 percent backing the Belgians and the rest neutral. Back home, millions watched in offices, homes and public gatherings that included a huge crowd at Chicago’s Soldier Field.

President Barack Obama joined about 200 staffers in an Executive Office Building auditorium to watch the second half.

“I believe!” he exclaimed as he walked in at the front of the hall. “I believe!”

Belgium outshot the U.S. 38-14. The 35-year-old Howard kept the ball out with slides, with dives and with leaps. But he never felt it was his special night.

“If this continues, then we’re in trouble,” he recalled thinking.

With forward Jozy Altidore still not recovered from the strained hamstring that had sidelined him since the June 16 opener, Klinsmann inserted Wondolowski as a second striker in the 72nd minute.

He appeared to have a chance to win it in stoppage time when Jermaine Jones flicked the ball to him at the top of the 6-yard box, but with Courtois coming out, Wondolowski put the ball over the crossbar. While the linesman put out his flag, it was unclear whether he was signaling goal kick or offside.

In the third minute of extra time, Matt Besler tried to intercept a pass to Lukaku but fell down as the Belgian striker fought free. Lukaku sped in alone, crossed, and the ball rebounded off defender Omar Gonzalez.

Kevin De Bruyne controlled it, took three touches as he spun and beat Howard just over his right foot.

“I thought I could make a play on the ball. I took a shot and missed and lost my balance,” Besler said.

Twelve minutes later, with the U.S. pushing for an equalizer, Bradley’s shot was blocked and De Bruyne burst ahead on a counter. He fed Lukaku, who sent the ball over the left shoulder of Howard, his Everton teammate, and seemingly put the game out of reach.

But Green, among five German-Americans on the U.S. roster and a surprise pick, woke up the team and its fans with his first touch, setting off raucous chants of “U-S-A! U-S-A!” There would be no final comeback this time, though.

Switzerland's Gelson Fernandes, left, tries to stop Argentina's Lionel Messi during the World Cup match between Argentina and Switzerland at the Itaquerao Stadium in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Tuesday.

Argentina wins in extra time

BY KARL RITTER The Associated Press SAO PAULO — Angel Di Maria scored deep into extra time Tuesday to give Argentina a 1-0 win over Switzerland and a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals.

With a penalty shootout looming, Lionel Messi made a surging run toward the Swiss area in the 118th minute and laid the ball off to Di Maria on the right.

The winger struck a leftfoot shot past diving goalkeeper Diego Benaglio, prompting the Argentine bench to jump out on the field to celebrate the goal.

Swiss substitute Blerim Dzemaili nearly equalized right before the end but his header hit the post, and the rebound bounced off his knee and wide of the goal.

The result at Sao Paulo’s Itaquerao Stadium continued Argentina’s record of scraping by with narrow wins at this World Cup. Coach Alejandro Sabella’s men will play the winner of Belgium

and the United States in the quarterfinals.

Di Maria said the Argentines knew from the start that there was a good chance that the game would go into extra time, like three of the six previous secondround matches.

“We know that this could happen to us, but we gave our souls out there on the pitch, we fought with our lives for each ball and we ended up as the winners,” Di Maria said.

It was a dramatic ending to what had been a tight match, with Argentina struggling to break through Switzerland’s disciplined defense.

Granit Xhaka and Josip Drmic had clear chances to put Switzerland ahead in the first half, but after that the Swiss mostly focused on repelling Argentina’s attacks and closing down space for Messi.

“We made life very tough on them,” Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld said. “They managed to keep their cool. It shows Argentina has a good team.”

Hitzfeld, whose brother

died at age 81 on the eve of the match, said that the match was his last as a football coach.

“It was a great honor working for Switzerland. I’m therefore proud to say goodbye to Switzerland with heart full of emotions,” Hitzfeld said.

Though Argentina dominated possession from the start, it was Switzerland that had the best chances in the slow-paced first half.

Xherdan Shaqiri cut in from the left in the 28th and found Granit Xhaka in the middle of the penalty area, but Sergio Romero stopped Xhaka’s shot with his left foot.

Alone with Romero, striker Josip Drmic wasted a chance to score 10 minutes later with a botched attempt to chip over the Argentina goalkeeper. attack Argentina’s improved after the break when fullback Marcos Rojo launched raids down the left flank, feeding crosses to the Argentine attackers.

Just after the half-hour mark Gonzalo Higuian finally

got an attempt on target as he connected with Rojo’s cross, forcing Benaglio to a fingertip save.

In the 78th, Messi tested Benaglio again as he dribbled into the area and struck a low shot that the Swiss goalkeeper stopped at his right post.

Benaglio kept Switzerland in the game when got a hand on Di Maria’s shot in 109th minute, but had no chance on Argentina’s winner.

Second-half substitute Rodrigo Palacio won the ball in midfield and fed Messi, who dribbled down the middle in trademark fashion, escaping a challenge from Swiss defender Fabian Schaer before poking the ball to Di Maria.

Unmarked, the Real Madrid player beat Benaglio with his 10th goal in Argentina’s colors.

“It was a match that we deserved to win,” said Sabella, the Argentina coach.

“The first half was very even.

They had two clear chances and after that the match was ours.”

Long faces, but chins up for USA fans RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — It was all long faces, but heads held high, for the legion of American fans who traveled to Brazil for the World Cup, only to watch their team lose 2-1 to Belgium in extra time.

Upward of 20,000 people, mostly Americans, packed the golden sands of Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro in front of a giant TV screen set up in the FIFA Fan Fest watch area in Rio. Fans stood and cheered the entire time, packed tightly and with barely any wiggle room to get through the crowd.

Like many fans, Travis Rood, a 28year-old from Seattle, his face painted red, white and blue and an American flag draped around his shoulder, started to leave the beach after Belgium went up 2-0.

But Rood froze in his tracks and turned around after the U.S. scored a late goal to spark hope that ultimately faded with the final whistle.

“This World Cup was a turning point for us,” he said. “People around the world are beginning to respect us as a team.”

A common refrain, Rood said there was no shame in losing to the young, talented Belgian team, who now move on to a tough quarter-final match with Argentina.

“They’re a small country but on paper,” he said of Belgium. “But they’re twice as good as we are at soccer.”

At a pub in Sao Paulo, Brazil’s biggest city, it got so packed people were sitting on the floor to watch the match. They

shouted every time U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard made a spectacular save — which he did 16 times.

Many of the American faithful in Sao Paulo were shouting the U.S. chant of “I believe that we will win” throughout the game. Some added emphatically “We love you!” for their team.

But in the end, most acknowledged that Belgium played a much better game, saying the U.S. waited too long to go on the attack.

“Belgium just played much better.

They deserve it,” said Nick Venditti, a 26-year-old from New York. “I am still happy we made it out of the ‘group of death.’ That wasn’t easy.”

He added, hopefully: “In the next four years, we will be so much better.”

Michigan referee dies after being punched DETROIT (AP) — A man who was punched in the head over the weekend while refereeing an adult-league soccer match in suburban Detroit died Tuesday, authorities and a longtime friend of the referee said.

John Bieniewicz, who was attacked Sunday at a park in Livonia, died at Detroit Receiving Hospital, said hospital spokesman Alton Gunn, Livonia police and the man’s longtime friend, Jim Acho.

Police Lt. Tom Goralski said a 36-year-old man punched Bieniewicz in the head after the referee indicated he planned to eject the man from the game. Baseel Abdul-Amir Saad of Dearborn was arraigned Monday on a charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm. The Wayne County prosecutor’s office said the charges would be reviewed and possibly amended when it had the necessary documentation.

Bieniewicz, 44, was a dialysis technician at Mott Children’s Hospital who lived in the Detroit suburb of

Westland with his wife and two sons, said Acho, who was a classmate of Bieniewicz’s at Catholic Central High School.

“I speak for all his friends when I say we are devastated. Crushed. Just a senseless way for a great guy to go out,” Acho said. “He deserved better.”

Bieniewicz, Acho said, was the only student-athlete in the class of 1988 to letter in both football and basketball at the ultra-competitive Detroit-area parochial school. Acho, who ran a basketball camp with Bieniewicz for four years after high school, said his 6foot-5 friend would “wow the kids with dunks.”

But much to the surprise of his friends, Bieniewicz gravitated to soccer. He had been a well-respected referee for two decades.

Another friend, Anthony Arrington, said he would often seek Bieniewicz’s advice when coaching his sons’ youth soccer teams.

“We have a special bond,” said Arrington, who added that Bieniewicz’s passion for

soccer spurred members of their group of friends to watch the World Cup in Brazil.

“Just heartbroken. Just a good person, good family man,” Arrington said.

Bieniewicz was doing what he loved on Sunday when he was attacked, Acho said.

Saad was not at Mies Park when police arrived, but surrendered Monday, Goralski said. At Saad’s arraignment in Livonia District Court, bond was set at $500,000 and a probable-cause hearing was set for July 10.

Saad’s lawyer, Brian Berry, said his client was cooperating with police and was not guilty of the charge.

“As the case progresses we expect to learn the cause of the referee’s injuries,” Berry said.

Acho said a fund was being set up to help pay for his friend’s funeral and burial expenses as well as his children’s futures.

Bieniewicz’s organs were being donated, Acho said.

Violence is not unheard of in soccer and other sports.

The recorded telephone message at the National Association of Sports Racine, in Officials Wisconsin, says, “For NASO insurance or assault information, press 3.”

Barry Mano — the president and founder of NASO, which has 21,000 dues-paying members in sports ranging from football and soccer to rodeo and water polo — said his group spends 20 percent of its time on assault and liability-related issues, up from around 3 percent 20 years ago.

“When we’re unhappy with sports officials, irrespective if the calls are right or wrong, the idea that we believe that we can go smack somebody because we’re unhappy is disturbing,” he said.

In April 2013, a 17-yearold player punched referee Ricardo Portillo after being called for a foul during a soccer game in Taylorsville, Utah, near Salt Lake City.

Portillo, a father of three, died after a week in a coma.

The teen pleaded guilty to a homicide charge.

CUIABA, Brazil (AP) — It was an odd place to find three international footballers on the eve of a crucial World Cup game, inside a small hair salon located on the forecourt of a gas station on the outskirts of a remote Brazilian city.

But there they were, Nigeria stars Emmanuel Emenike, Kenneth Omeruo and Ahmed Musa, eager for a new style and color touchups for the big match against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

“They are very vain,” said Dirce Cardoso, owner of the Salao de Beleza Aeroporto in southern Cuiaba. “They wanted to be pampered.”

So Cardoso obliged. She canceled her other appointments, closed the salon and gave the footballers the full VIP treatment. Two of them got a Mohican and two of them had their hair dyed black.

Total cost: $71 — and Cardoso was even treated to a ticket for the match.

It seems like we have a new addition to the footballer’s pre-match routine — healthy meal, massage, a few media interviews ... and a new haircut.

This World Cup has been a tournament full of goals, surprise results and breath-taking skills, but also some of the wackiest, most outrageous hairstyles you’ll find in sports.

Rat tails, mohicans, dreadlocks, braids, bleached blond, outlandish side-partings, the “Afro” — you name a hairstyle, and at least one player is certain to have had it. And it’s been the talk of Twitter during games.

Footballers appear to be pre-occupied with their hair like never before.

“I found out that my haircut got quite a lot of people talking on social media,” France defender Mathieu Debuchy told The Associated Press, sporting a hairstyle that can best be described as shaved on the sides with of comblizard-shaped over/side-parting.

“So much the better if people talk and communicate about it. I feel good this way, I like it and that’s the main thing, no?”

Ever-changing hairstyles used to be domain of David Beckham, who experimented with the shaved head, the cornrows, the Fauxhawk and bleach-blond look, among others, in the blink of an eye.

Now everyone is at it, and the styles are getting bolder and bolder.

Take Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, for example. The world player of the year had a different hairstyle for each of his three games at the World Cup — for the second, against the United States, he had a zig-zag-style engraving in the right side of his head.

Similarly, Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan had a blond No. 3 dyed into the side of his black hair to represent the number of his jersey that had been handed to him by his brother, Baffour.

“It’s my favorite number,” Gyan said. “It’s a powerful number.”

The mohican is becoming increasingly popular among players and has been best demonstrated at the World Cup by enigmatic Italy striker Mario Balotelli, France midfielder Paul Pogba and Portugal’s Raul Meireles.

In fact, Meireles’ overall appearance has been one of the sights of the tournament, complementing his wacky hair with a bushy beard and tattoos that appear to cover almost all his body.

When Meireles and U.S. midfielder Kyle Beckerman — famous for his messy dreadlocks — collided in a challenge during their teams’ groupstage match, it was more a clash of the haircuts. U.S. Soccer posted on Twitter: “Dreads vs. Mohawk/Beard” with a photo.

“I love that they all have their unique styles,” Cardoso said. “They all are very modern. I wouldn’t choose one over the other.”

Jets help injured Army Triple play survives reviews by both teams vet get ‘smart home’ NEW YORK (AP) — An Army veteran who lost both legs and an arm in Afghanistan three years ago is having a “smart home” built on Staten Island with the help of a $1 million donation from New York Jets owner Woody Johnson.

Army Sgt. Bryan Dilberian, wearing a Jets jersey, received a hero’s welcome at a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday — three years to the day that he was injured by an improvised explosive device. The 2,800-foot home will have three bedrooms, including a master suite with a customized bathroom, and features throughout that can be run off an iPad. The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation is building the home through its “Building for America’s Bravest” program in a partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation. Johnson and the Jets donated $1 million to build two smart homes, including Dilberian’s.

Alonso had hip surgery this offseason, which limited him in participating in spring practices.

After playing in the middle last season, Alonso was moving to the outside linebacker spot as part of the Bills’ shift to a 43 defensive scheme under new coordinator Jim Schwartz. The switch was also sparked in part by the Bills’ signing of run-stopping specialist Brandon Spikes, who is better suited to play in the middle.

No charges for 49ers’ Smith in Los Angeles airport incident LOS ANGELES (AP) — San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith will not face charges related to his arrest earlier this year at Los Angeles International Airport.

The city attorney’s office said in a statement Tuesday that it declined to charge the 24-year-old but will require him to come to a meeting to discuss what happened and be admonished about applicable laws.

Smith was taken into custody April 13 after authorities said he became belligerent during a random security screening and threatened that he had a bomb.

The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office subsequently referred the case to the city attorney’s office for misdemeanor consideration.

In May, Smith pleaded no contest in San Francisco to three felony weapons charges and two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence.

NFL Notes

Bills LB Alonso hurts knee while working out in Oregon BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills can’t get a break even when they’re off.

Starting linebacker Kiko Alonso sustained what the team fears to be a serious knee injury while working out in Oregon.

General manager Doug Whaley announced Alonso had been hurt, in a statement released by the team Tuesday night.

“We do not have the details at this point, but early indications are that it may be significant,” Whaley said.

Alonso’s agent, Stephen Caric, said he was unable to comment.

It’s unclear when or how the injury occurred. During the team’s mandatory minicamp two weeks ago, Alonso had indicated he planned to spend part of the offseason working out at Oregon, where he played college and maintains a home.

The Bills are off until July 18, when players are scheduled to report for the start of training camp in suburban Rochester.

Alonso was an NFL defensive rookie of the year contender last season after being drafted Buffalo in the second round out of Oregon. He led Buffalo with 159 tackles, two fumble recoveries and tied for the team lead with four interceptions while barely missing a snap in playing all 16 games.

Judge won’t dismiss cheerleader suit against Bills BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A New York judge has refused the Buffalo Bills’ request to dismiss a lawsuit brought by five former cheerleaders over pay and working conditions.

Supreme Court Justice Timothy Drury’s decision Tuesday clears the way for the lawsuit to move forward.

The Buffalo Jills cheerleaders say they were paid less than minimum wage and often worked for free at public appearances at which they were subject to groping and sexual comments.

The Bills argued they shouldn’t be included in the lawsuit because they contracted with outside companies to operate the cheerleading squad.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Cleveland Indians executed an unorthodox triple play in the fourth inning against the Dodgers that required two video replay reviews to sort out.

With runners on first and third, Adrian Gonzalez lifted a fly ball to left fielder Michael Brantley, who threw out Dee Gordon at the plate. Catcher Yan Gomes then fired to second baseman Jason Kipnis for the tag on Yasiel Puig as he slid headfirst.

Cleveland manager Terry Francona challenged the original safe call at second and got the play overturned after a replay delay that lasted 1 minute, 29 seconds. Dodgers skipper Don Mattingly then challenged the call at the plate, but that call stood after another wait of 1 minute, 34 seconds.

Cleveland went on to a 10-3 win.

TENNIS

Nadal, Sharapova out

Christian Ehrhoff to a one-year, $4 million contract.

The team announced the deal a few hours into the start of the NHL’s free agency period.

The Penguins, under newly hired general manager Jim Rutherford, are restocking on defense with Brooks Orpik signing with Washington and Matt Niskanen also a free agent.

Vanek signs with Wild ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Wild have made another splash in free agency.

Thomas Vanek, one of the top players available when the NHL market opened, agreed to terms on a three-year contract with the Wild shortly after free agency officially began. The left wing will get a chance to settle in after playing for three teams last season.

Vanek has 277 goals in 663 career NHL games.

LONDON (AP) — Rafael Nadal ran out of comebacks at Wimbledon, losing to a brash, bigserving, between-the-legs-hitting 19-year-old kid who might just be a future star.

Maria Sharapova, somehow, seemed on the verge of a turnaround despite a flurry of unforced errors, saving six match points before finally succumbing on the seventh with — what else? — a missed shot.

And in the most striking sight of a memorable day of departures by past Wimbledon champions, Serena Williams couldn’t get the ball over the net in a doubles match with her sister Venus, stopping after three games because of what was called a viral illness.

HOCKEY

Stars acquire forwards

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Jason Spezza and Ales Hemsky are going to find out if what they started in Ottawa can lead to something special in Dallas.

Briefly teammates with the Senators last season, both forwards were acquired by the Stars — Spezza in a trade just before free agency opened and Hemsky on a three-year contract after deals could be done.

Spezza agreed to the Dallas deal a few days after using his no-trade clause to turn down a proposal from Nashville.

The Stars also signed goalie Anders Lindback and forward Patrick Eaves to oneyear contracts.

Avalanche add Iginla Coyote sign Vitale GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Coyotes made their big offseason move before the free agency period started, trading for a playmaking center to replace the one they lost.

Once they could sign free agents, the Coyotes filled a couple of holes.

Arizona signed center Joe Vitale to a threeyear contract and goalie Devan Dubnyk to a one-year deal, adding depth two days after trading for center Sam Gagner.

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Avalanche added a big-name scorer in Jarome Iginla shortly after losing a fan favorite in Paul Stastny.

The Avalanche signed Iginla to a threeyear, $16 million deal, bringing in a forward with 560 career goals.

Seattle pounds Houston

Porcello has back-to-back shutouts

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Rick Porcello pitched a four-hitter for his second straight shutout, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 3-0 victory over the Oakland A’s on Tuesday night.

Porcello (11-4) only had one career complete game before blanking the Rangers on June 26, but is now the first Tigers pitcher since Jack Morris to throw back-to-back shutouts.

Morris threw three in a row in July 1986.

Porcello is 3-0 with 24 scoreless innings over his last three outings. He also became the first pitcher since Baltimore’s Jeff Ballard on Aug. 21, 1989, to throw a shutout without a walk or strikeout. No Tigers pitcher had done it since Dizzy Trout in 1944.

Torii Hunter had an RBI grounder in the fourth inning and J.D. Martinez hit a two-run homer in the sixth.

Brad Mills (1-1) took the loss for Oakland, allowing three runs and six hits with three walks in six-plus innings.

Giants 5, Cardinals 0: Tim Lincecum followed his second career no-hitter with another vintage performance, pitching eight sharp innings to lead San Francisco to the shutout.

Lincecum (7-5) allowed four hits, struck out six and walked two. He worked out of a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the fourth and stayed out of trouble the rest of the way, helping San Francisco snap a fourgame losing streak since his latest gem against San Diego.

Pablo Sandoval hit his 100th career homer to cap a three-run fourth, and the Giants scored twice in the fifth to chase Marco Gonzales (01) in the left-hander’s second career start.

Gonzales gave up five runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. St. Louis has lost three straight and four of five.

Rays 2, Yankees 1: David Price came within one pitch of extending his remarkable strikeout streak in leading resurgent Tampa Bay past New York.

James Loney hit a go-ahead home run in the sixth inning and the Rays matched their longest win string of the season. Derek Jeter tied Lou Gehrig’s team record for doubles as the Yankees equaled their worst skid this year with their fourth loss in a row.

Price (7-7) struck out nine — he fanned at least 10 in each of his previous five starts, and was trying to join Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson and Nolan Ryan as the only pitchers to accomplish the feat six straight times.

Nationals 7, Rockies 1: Stephen Strasburg bounced back from his worst outing of the season with 7 2-3 dominant innings, and Jayson Werth had two doubles and three RBIs in Washington’s fourth straight win.

Anthony Rendon added a two-run double for the Nationals.

Strasburg (7-6) tied his career high by allowing seven earned runs in 4 23 innings in his last start, and was 02 with a 7.27 ERA over his last three.

Christian Friedrich (0-3) allowed five runs in 3 1-3 innings for Colorado, which has lost 13 of 15.

Padres 8, Reds 2: Seth Smith hit a home run and scored three runs and Carlos Quentin homered and drove in three runs to lead San Diego.

Smith had three hits as the Padres finished with a season-high 16 one night after managing just one hit in a 1-0 win over the Reds.

Ian Kennedy (6-9) pitched six strong innings, giving up one run and seven hits with a walk and three strikeouts to get his first win in nearly a month.

Quentin’s two-run homer in the four-run, seventh inning was the key blow when the Padres extended their lead to 7-1.

Mike Leake (6-7) allowed three runs and 11 hits in 5 2-3 innings.

Angels 8, White Sox 4, first game; Angels 7, White Sox 5, second game: Kole Calhoun homered and scored twice in the nightcap to help Los Angeles complete a doubleheader sweep of Chicago.

Howie Kendrick added two hits and scored two runs as the Angels won their second straight and moved to within 3 1/2 games of first-place Oakland in the AL West.

The Angels beat the White Sox 8-4 in the opener of a twin-bill quickly arranged after Monday’s game was rained out and are 5-0 against Chicago this season.

Jered Weaver (9-6) worked 5 2-3 innings for the win, allowing nine hits while striking out six. Chicago starter Scott Carroll (2-5) took the loss after pitching six-plus innings and giving up seven runs on 10 hits.

In the early game, Albert Pujols hit his 509th home run, Mike Trout connected for a three-run drive and Garrett Richards (9-2) allowed two hits in eight innings.

Pujols’ solo shot, his 17th homer of the season, came off starter Hector Noesi (2-6) and put the Angels ahead in a four-run fifth. Trout’s homer tied the score earlier in the inning.

Jose Abreu hit his 26th home run in the first to give Chicago a 3-0 cushion.

Marlins 5, Phillies 4, 11 innings: Ed Lucas’ single scored the winning run from second base with one out in the 11th inning, snapping Miami’s four-game losing streak and sending Philadelphia to its fifth straight loss.

The Marlins won their ninth consecutive game when Henderson Alvarez starts, matching the longest such streak with a pitcher in franchise history. Alvarez allowed two runs in seven innings.

Pinch hitter Jeff Baker singled to start the 11th inning against Justin De Fratus (2-1), advanced on a sacrifice and scored without a play on Lucas’ opposite-field hit.

The Phillies overcame a 4-2 deficit in the eighth with back-to-back two-out homers by Marlon Byrd and Cody Asche off Kevin Gregg.

Bryan Morris (6-0) pitched two innings for the win.

The Marlins’ Giancarlo Stanton singled home a run to increase his RBI total to 61, which leads the NL. Orioles 8, Rangers 3: Nelson Cruz hit his 26th home run, and Steve Pearce and Caleb Joseph also went deep against rookie Nick Martinez to help Baltimore breeze past skidding Texas.

Pearce and Cruz delivered solo

Court to reconsider Bonds’ conviction SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court will reconsider Barry Bonds’ felony conviction for obstruction of justice.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that a limited en banc panel of 11 judges will review a 2011 jury verdict finding Major League Baseball’s career home run leader guilty of giving evasive testimony to a grand jury investigating elite athletes’ use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Arguments have been scheduled for the week of Sept. 15 in San Francisco.

“Mr. Bonds’ challenge to his conviction is alive and well,” Dennis Riordan, one of his lawyers, wrote in an email to The Associated Press.

A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit last year upheld the April 2011 conviction,

which stemmed from a rambling answer Bonds gave in response to a question about whether he received injections from anyone other than his doctor.

A majority of the active judges on the 9th Circuit voted to have the en banc panel hear the appeal and set aside the decision of Senior Circuit Judges Mary M. Schroeder and Michael Daly Hawkins and Circuit Judge Mary H. Murguia.

Riordan has argued that Bonds’ answer was, in fact, true: He felt the pressure of being a child of a celebrity.

Bonds already has served his sentence of 30 days’ house arrest and paid a $4,100 fine. He also was sentenced to two years of probation and 250 hours of community service in youthrelated activities.

The Associated Press

Detroit Tigers pitcher Rick Porcello delivers against the Oakland Athletics during the first inning Tuesday in Detroit. shots in the first inning and Joseph connected with a man on in the second. It was the third homer in two nights for Pearce, and Cruz hit his third in seven games on his 34th birthday.

Signed as a free agent to a oneyear contract, Cruz is closing in on his career high of 33 home runs with Texas in 2009. He is already one homer short of matching his total last year with the Rangers, a season cut short by a 50-game suspension as part of the Biogenesis performanceenhancing drug scandal.

Indians 10, Dodgers 3:Cleveland turned an unorthodox triple play that required two replay reviews, and David Murphy broke out of a 1-for44 slump with three hits against Los Angeles.

Lonnie Chisenhall hit an early two-run homer off Josh Beckett (55). Murphy, Nick Swisher and Yan Gomes also drove in two runs apiece for the Indians, who had been held to one hit in back-to-back shutout losses to the Mariners and Dodgers.

This was the Dodgers’ seventh attempt at their first four-game winning streak of the season. Instead, they were knocked back into second place in the NL West one night after overtaking San Francisco.

Rookie left-hander Kyle Crockett (2-0) came on after Justin Masterson failed to get through the fourth inning with a 5-2 lead. All three of Crockett’s outs came on the 7-2-4 triple play.

Adrian Gonzalez homered for Los Angeles.

Pirates 3, Diamondbacks 2: Starling Marte hit a two-run double to tie the game with one out in the ninth inning and then scored on pinch-hitter Ike Davis’ single two batters later to propel Pittsburgh.

The Pirates were shut down for eight innings by Arizona starter Wade Miley before rallying in the ninth. Neil Walker and pinch-hitter Gregory Polanco started the inning with singles against Miley. One batter later, Marte hit a drive to the wall in center off closer Addison Reed (14).

Andrew McCutchen was intentionally walked and Davis singled to right, scoring Marte easily.

Ernesto Frieri (1-3) earned his first

win with the Pirates after working a scoreless ninth.

Miley allowed four hits in eightplus innings, striking out 10. He is winless since May 10.

Cubs 2, Red Sox 1: Luis Valbuena broke a ninth-inning tie with a sacrifice fly that carried Chicago past Boston.

Anthony Rizzo started the inning with a single off Koji Uehara (3-2) and went to third on a double by Starlin Castro. Valbuena then lined a shot to medium right field. Mookie Betts made the catch, but his throw was off line and Rizzo scored easily.

The double was the 37th extra-base hit for Castro, who entered the game tied with Troy Tulowitzki of the Colorado Rockies for the major league lead among shortstops with 36.

Twins 10, Royals 2: Joe Mauer drove in two runs before leaving with an injury, Eduardo Nunez homered and Minnesota beat Kansas City.

Mauer extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a two-run double down the left-field line in the fourth inning, but was noticeably limping as he ran to second base. The team said he has a strained muscle on his right side and will be evaluated Wednesday.

Braves 5, Mets 4:Andrelton Simmons’ two-run single sparked a three-run fourth that sent streaking Atlanta past Daisuke Matsuzaka and New York.

Curtis Granderson and Daniel Murphy hit two-run homers for the Mets, who have lost three straight and six of seven.

The Braves overcame a shaky start from Mike Minor to protect their half-game lead over Washington in the NL East. Atlanta has won six straight, its longest streak of the season.

Blue Jays 4, Brewers 1: Jose Bautista and Colby Rasmus hit solo home runs, and Drew Hutchison struck out a career-high 10 to snap a two-start losing streak for Toronto.

The Blue Jays ended a three-game losing streak, one shy of their season high, and won for the third time in 14 meetings with Milwaukee.

The Brewers had their four-game road winning streak end as they lost away from home for just the third time in 13 games.

WIMBLEDON From Page B1 and Venus Williams and Maria Sharapova are all out of the tournament.

“I think it’s a normal evolution of things as the great champions get a bit older the new ones start coming in I think it’s a really exciting time for women’s tennis,” said the 20-year-old Bouchard, who will break into the top 10 in the rankings next week.

Halep and Bouchard are both 15-2 in Grand Slam matches this year.

The other semifinal is an all-Czech matchup between 2011 champion Petra Kvitova and Lucie Safarova.

Halep and Bouchard have played each other only once, with the Romanian winning.

Bouchard was in control against Kerber — who beat Sharapova on Tuesday — The Associated Press after saving four break points Eugenie Bouchard of Canada celebrates winning a point against while serving at 3-all in the Angelique Kerber of Germany during their women's singles quarterfinal first set, a game that lasted match at Wimbledon on Wednesday. nearly 10 minutes.

HOUSTON (AP) — Robinson Cano had wondered what would happen if rookie James Jones started getting on base consistently for the Seattle Mariners.

His suspicions were confirmed Tuesday night.

Cano and Kyle Seager had three RBIs apiece, Jones added two more and a sevenrun sixth inning propelled the Mariners to score a season high in a 13-2 win over the Houston Astros, giving Seattle its second straight game scoring in double digits.

Cano drove in two runs to give Seattle the lead in the first and hit the first of the five doubles in the sixth inning that tied a franchise mark and pushed the lead to 10-1.

Jones’ three hits included a triple. The rookie, who hits in front of Cano, has seven hits in the first two games of this series. The Mariners won the opener 10-4.

“I was telling Howard (Johnson), the hitting coach: ‘We’ve been winning games and he’s not getting on base,”’ Cano said. “Watch how many runs we’re going to score when he starts getting on base.’ And look what happened the last two days.”

Manager Lloyd McClendon has been impressed with the Jones’ progress.

“He’s getting a lot of big hits for us, he’s hitting left-handers, he’s running the bases well,” McClendon said. “I’ve been very pleased. He continues to get better every day.”

Hisashi Iwakuma (6-4) went six innings, giving up a run on seven hits while striking out seven as the Mariners improved to eight games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2009 season.

Seager doubled and hit a solo homer in the ninth as the Mariners also set a seasonhigh with 18 hits.

Jarred Cosart (8-6) tied a season-high by allowing six runs on nine hits with four walks in 5 2-3 innings to end a four-game winning streak.

“A lot of pitches up in the zone,” manager Bo Porter said. “When he was on the streak that he was on, he was really finishing his breaking ball and inducing weak contact, but today, there were just a lot of pitches up in the zone.”

Darin Downs relieved Cosart and allowed five consecutive hits, with four doubles.

All of the Mariners’ runs in the sixth came with two outs to mark the first time they’ve had six straight run-scoring hits with two outs in an inning in franchise history, according to STATS. It’s also the first time they’ve scored at least 10 runs in consecutive games since June 19-20, 2012.

Jose Altuve had two hits for his MLB-leading 36th multihit game and Matt Dominguez drove in a run for Houston.

Jones singled in his first two at-bats to give him a hit in six straight plate appearances.

“I was really trying to stay in the moment,” Bouchard said. “I knew I couldn’t think ahead and things like that and that’s what I’ve been working on for a while now to try to stay mentally in the moment. I few bad errors but at the same time I hit a few good aggressive shots and that’s my game.”

Halep, meanwhile, took command of her match by attacking Lisicki’s weak second serve. The German won only eight of 26 points on her second serve. She also had 20 unforced errors, compared to 11 by Halep.

“She had 4-1 and then I came very well back,” Halep said. “I played my best today and I was enjoying every moment because it was incredible on Centre Court.”

Wednesday’s schedule also featured all four men’s quarterfinals. Defending champion Andy Murray was up against Grigor Dimitrov; and seven-time winner Roger Federer faced fellow Swiss Stan Warwinka.

MARIE LUSK PAYNE; JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION; AND OCCUPANTS OF THE PREMISES, Defendants.

TO THE DEFENDANTS: MARIE LUSK PAYNE: In the name of the State of Oregon, you are hereby required to appear and answer the complaint filed against you in the above-entitled Court and cause on or before the expiration of 30 days from the date of the first publication of this summons.

BRIDGE Most bridge deals are a battle.

One side is trying to execute a plan, while the other side is trying either to do the same or to thwart the opposition’s scheme.

In this deal, South was in three notrump. What was the East-West strategy and how did South counter it? As a secondary issue, what do you think of the auction?

This deal occurred after the organized part of one of my “bridge camps without tents” (details on my web site). Four of my students were

just shuffling, dealing and playing.

In the auction, I think North ought to have used Stayman to try to find a 4-4 spade fit. Here, that would have resulted in a contract of four spades.

With the trumps 3-2 and the heart ace onside, this would have made easily, South losing one spade, one heart and one diamond.

In three no-trump, declarer started with only six top tricks: two spades, one heart (given the lead) and three clubs. He planned to play on diamonds to establish the extra tricks he needed, but that was going to give the lead back to the defenders.

East and West were hoping to establish and run the heart suit. To that end, West led the heart queen and East signaled encouragingly with her six.

South correctly did not win the first trick. He had to cut the communications between the defenders.

West continued with another heart. East won with her ace and returned the suit, but South won and played a diamond, hoping that either East would take the trick or that the hearts were splitting 4-4. As you can see, declarer was home with an overtrick.
