Move over, North Bend sign BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

The World File Photo

The North Bend sign was moved to its current location in 2011. At the same time, the letters were changed to glow red.

NORTH BEND — One of the Bay Area’s most prominent landmarks, the “Welcome to North Bend” sign, will be pushed out of the way to make room for a trafﬁc signal directing increased trafﬁc from a nearby workforce housing camp during Jordan Cove’s construction. The North Bend City Council discussed the proposal to move the sign during a work session Monday night. Councilor Howard Graham said the councilors are not happy.

This trafﬁc signal is an Oregon Department of Transportation condition within the conditional use permit application to site the housing camp on the Al Peirce property under the McCullough Bridge, said Josh Anderson, a transportation engineer for David Evans and Associates. Since the North Bend planning commission already approved that permit this spring, the trafﬁc signal is a “go” unless the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals sides with Simpson Heights residents who oppose the decision. The city of North Bend hosted a

town hall last month to try to dissuade Simpson Heights residents’ concerns about the proposed 2,100-person housing camp, which would sit less than a mile from their neighborhood. At the time, Anderson assured them that eight years of analysis had resulted in a slick transportation plan that would minimally impact the nearby neighborhood. Now, Graham isn’t so sure. He hopes ODOT “will bend to pressure.” The council is now considering SEE SIGN | A8

2014 commercial Dungeness crab season ends this week on high note The World

COOS BAY — The commercial Dungeness crab fishing season officially closes at midnight on Thursday, but the numbers are not likely to change much at this point. Hugh Link, executive director of the Oregon Dungeness crab commission, says it is proving to be a unique season, and that is a very good thing. Over the past decade, Oregon commercial crab fishermen have averaged landing about 20 million pounds of crab. This year’s numbers are expected to end below average at about 14.35 million pounds. “That said,” Link said, over the phone on Tuesday, “our value to the fishery is over $49.7 million to the (Oregon) fishermen, which is the highest value I can find on record.” He noted that even in a prior season, that was one of the best years for landings, with fishermen bringing in more than 33 million pounds of crab, the value to fishermen for that season was at $49.4 million. “So (this season) was a good, good year value-wise,” he said. Breaking the numbers down further, Charleston has brought in about 2.8 million pounds of Dungeness. That translates into more than $10 million for local fishermen in the 2013-2014 sea-

son, which officially began Dec. 16. Link noted that the commercial crab fishery is cyclical and hard to predict, over one stretch of years the average landings were at 10 million pounds. So, it was not a surprise to find the numbers down a little bit, but the financial windfall was unexpected when the fishermen first started dropping their crab pots last December. One reason for the surge, he says, is the old law of supply and demand. Another reason has to do with where that demand was coming from. “There seems to be quite a bit of export of the Dungeness this year,” Link said. “I’m looking forward to seeing the (final) numbers, but there appears to have been quite a bit of export to China.” The numbers will have to be digested in a hurry, as the commercial Dungeness crab fishery has a short off-season. Link says fishery experts are already starting to look ahead to next season, which is less than four months away. “Our ocean seemed to be really full of bait and healthy,” he said. “We’re looking forward to, maybe, another good year next year.” In the unpredictable Dungeness fishery, one learns that there is always room for a maybe.

Motorists may ﬁnd a little extra congestion on Ocean Boulevard this week, as the Coos Bay — North Bend Water Board begins a water main replacement project. Work is expected to run until midNovember. Water Board general manager Rob Schab talked in July 2013 about the reliability and redundancy it would create within the system. “The purpose is to allow us to move water from the expanded treatment plant directly into the distribution system,” he said at the time. Currently, water needs to be pumped into a 9 million-gallon clear well before going back into the distribution system. Schab said

The case dates from October 2013, when 15 people in the Cedar Valley area north of Gold Beach complained they got sick after herbicides being sprayed on nearby commercial timberlands drifted over their homes. The symptoms they reported included respiratory problems, stomach cramps, headaches, swelling of hands and eyes, and rashes.

The Oregon Department of Agriculture said Tuesday that it fined Pacific Air Research, Inc., of White City and pesticide applicator Steven Owen $10,000 each and suspended their commercial pesticide licenses for a year. Owen and the company did not immediately return a call for comment.

the new project will allow water to be sent directly into the system, in addition to the clear well. ”If there was a problem now we wouldn’t be able to get water into the system,” Schab said. “A second option also allows us to do maintenance to the line to help increase longevity.” The project is being paid for entirely through existing funds. The project covers a section of Ocean Boulevard, running from the Water Board driveway entrance to Woodland Drive — a distance of about 2,500 feet. Work will begin Thursday. Laskey-Clifton Corporation, the contractor on the project, will work Mondays through Fridays between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., and will maintain a continuous trafﬁc ﬂow. However, one westbound lane will be closed during much of the project. Brief delays may be expected at

Liqueﬁed natural gas BY GAIL ELBER For The World

Our descendants may look back on the early 21st century and say, “Thank goodness our forebears built the Jordan Cove LNG export terminal and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline, which started the Bay Area Renaissance.” Or they might say, “Alas, now we see why no other community wanted an LNG terminal. It ruined the fishing/despoiled the pipeline route/didn’t create jobs/went bankrupt/washed away in the tsunami/devastated the community in the Bay Area Blast.” Or they might even say, “The LNG plant? Oh, I remember that idea. Wasn’t that the one between the coal train and the Marijuana Enterprise Zone?” No one knows. Meanwhile, the prospect of building a liquefied natural gas export terminal on the North Spit of Coos Bay has set off a culture war. Anti-LNG champions wonder how the project has sneaked past all those regulatory agencies when the hazards are obvious to them. Pro-LNG boosters have invested in an immense number of lawn signs and are now fighting about how to spend the pile of money they anticipate getting from the plant. The best thing about the LNG controversy? It’s made thousands of people think about their priorities for the community. No matter what happens at Jordan Cove, some people will be disappointed. But they’ll be energized to help create the future they want for the Bay Area, instead of just letting it happen. FREE DELIVERY! FREE SET-UP! FREE HAUL AWAY!*

R E P O R T S Tuesday, two Coos Bay residents were involved in a rollover crash near milepost 2.5 on Libby Lane. The wet, slippery road surface contributed to the rollover, according to the Coos County Sheriff's Ofﬁce. The driver of the 1989 Honda Accord, 22-year-old Mark Socia, was not injured.

Drawing the line on service animals Months ago at the sports bar and restaurant in Wildhorse Casino, a well-dressed man walked in with two large, leashed canines. Each wore little vests that read “service dogs in training.” They were behaving ﬁne until one got up and defecated right in the middle of the restaurant. It is becoming more and more common to see a dog inside a business or in a public place, and less likely to see that same dog in a fenced yard or a kennel. Try getting on an airplane that doesn’t include a dog nestled against their owner, who refuses to let it leave their lap. They are now referred to as “comfort animals.” Now don’t get us wrong. We love our pets. But it’s clear the system is being gamed by a rapidly expanding segment of the population who like having their animals nearby. And we have real worries about hygiene, safety and manners as the number of dogs in restaurants and grocery stores and banks increases. We’re not disputing the healing power of canines. We’d all love to have our pets next to us more often. But we must also remember other people: the employees that must clean the muddy paw prints, those allergic or scared or otherwise inconvenienced. There are limits, and organizations and individuals should have the ability to ban animals from public places and private businesses unless there is a real medical need and the animal is professionally trained to provide care. Dogs have a special place in our world. For

Gov. Atiyeh was the right person at the right time Oregon hasn’t had a Republican governor since Vic Atiyeh ﬁnished his tenure in 1987,but he’s being remembered for a lot more than that — and deserves to be. Atiyeh, who died July 20, probably was Oregon’s best governor in recent decades. After defeating incumbent Gov. Bob Straub in the 1978 election, he was greeted by what may have been Oregon’s worst-ever recession. Mortgage interest rates were in the 17-18 percent range and didn’t slip below double digits for three and a half years after that and even then, it wasn’t by much. The Oregon unemployment rate was 12.1 percent in 1982, the state’s highest ever. It was a devastating time for state services which get much of their ﬁnancing through income taxes on such industries as homebuilding and other types of construction work.

Atiyeh managed the cuts with compassion and when the state could cut no more he supported a temporary increase in the state income tax. He was able to work across party lines in the interest of all Oregonians. Atiyeh, whose background was in his family’s Portland-based carpet business, plus 20 years in the Oregon Legislature, became governor at what may have been the worst possible time for any lofty ambitions he had for the state. Oregon, however, was lucky to have him. Klamath Falls Herald and News

Rules need to be enacted on e-cigarettes In light of the Oregon Legislature’s disappointing failure to approve even moderate restrictions on electronic cigarettes in this year’s session, local governments should ﬁll the regulatory void with bans on the sale and marketing of the devices to minors. E-cigarettes, which vaporize nicotine, have grown rapidly in popularity, recently hitting $2.5 billion in nationwide sales. The devices have sparked a public health debate, with supporters arguing that the devices are a less

dangerous alternative to cigarettes and critics warning that there is insufﬁcient evidence about their health risk and whether e-cigarettes help people quit smoking. Major U.S. tobacco companies have entered into the e-cigarette market in a big way. R.J. Reynolds is going nationwide with its Vuse ecigarette, and Altria plans to begin selling its own product, the MarkTen, later this year. Such developments make clear that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration dithered too long before recently proposing rules that would ban sales of e-cigarettes to minors. So far, the agency has made no effort to regulate e-cigarette makers’ marketing, which includes offering candy and dessert ﬂavors designed to attract young users and endorsements by celebrities with strong appeal to minors. Given the uncertainties surrounding the FDA’s proposals, Lane County commissioners should move swiftly to put in place a ban on sales to minors. The county board also should give serious consideration to other proposals from the county’s public health advisory committee. They include banning the use of e-cigarettes in public places where smoking is prohibited; restricting how they can be marketed to young people; imposing a local tax on the devices, and requiring “vaping” lounges to purchase business licenses.

Limited, specific and achievable That is how one unnamed official described the military option in Iraq, last Thursday. Of course,the war in Iraq is supposed to be over.It was called “Operation Iraqi Freedom” until its name was changed in 2010 to “Operation New Dawn.” It ended in December of 2011, in its eighth year, with the American death toll standing just shy of 5,000. It did not bring “Iraqi Freedom.” The “New Dawn” may now officially be labeled a new nightmare. President George W. Bush officially declared victory — “Mission accomplished” — little more than a month into the war, completing the initial invasion, sending Saddam Hussein into hiding,but also having found no weapons of mass destruction. That was the first phase of the war. What happened this week is that in response to death threats from the truly terrifying ISIS, some 40,000 men, women and children took refuge on a mountaintop where they are now dying of heat and starvation. We were reportedly waitSUSAN ing for the current failed ESTRICH leader to step down before taking any miliColumnist tary action, but meanwhile, these people are dying. And all of this raises a pretty basic question that is applicable not only to Iraq: What in the world are we doing? Protecting American interests, of course. The harder question, always, has been what that means. It means fighting terrorists who would kill us, wherever they are. That part of the answer — though surely not the task — is easy. “Do you believe in using military force for nation building?” is another one of those old standards in debate prep books.No,of course not, every candidate says; we are not the world’s police force. Of course — and this is the part where candidates start fudging. In some instances, the only answer to terrorism is a stable government that does not provide a refuge for terrorists or allow its country to be turned into a terrorist state. And the other benefit of such a government, of a “political solution,” as it’s sometimes labeled, is that people don’t have to flee to a mountaintop and die of heat and starvation because their town has been taken over by anti-Christian, anti-everythingbut-them killers. So that’s what we tried to achieve in Iraq, even if no one wanted to admit it, and that is also what we seem to be trying to achieve in Afghanistan, where a general was killed this past week, the highest ranking officer to be killed in combat since Vietnam. Even as he was explicitly announcing that the military option is on the table, the White House press secretary also said: “There are no American military solutions to the problems in Iraq. These problems can only be solved with Iraqi political solutions.” And therein lies the rub. We tried. If there were an American military solution to the problems in Iraq, the tens of thousands of young American men and women who served our country there would have found it. Iraq wasn’t a military failure; it was the mission — or lack thereof — that was all wrong. On the other hand, when 40,000 people are dying on a mountaintop because of their religious beliefs, threatened with death by terrorist haters, do we let them die, do we drop food, or do we drop bombs on those who are threatening them? “Limited, specific and achievable.” Maybe we can save some lives.

Letters to the Editor Obama critic clariﬁes position Wow, I don’t know where to start in “trying” to address some of Leonard Milbyer’s letter from Monday, Aug. 4. 1. I have never made my letters personal. 2. I called for his impeachment because of his illegal war in Iraq. 3. As far as his $700 billion bail out of the banks and Wall Street, that only passed with a majority vote with many Democrats voting in favor. 4. As far as Obama creating jobs, taking tax money from Americans then hiring thousands of government workers to run more entitlement programs does not count as “real” job creation, it’s a minus. 5. As far as the “right”, as he puts it, not passing any bills that Obama wants, so what! Why should Congress simply agree with the problem,as he has stalled more bills from both parties than the “right.” 6. As for Mr. Milbyer, your assuming that I’m “Republican” only goes to show your ignorance (lack of knowledge) since I have never claimed to be either party. But then I guess for an ideologue with myopic vision, I can only say calm down, get your facts right and try to be more accepting of

other views. 7. As far as the so called Dream Act allowing every child who comes here to be given a lawyer before deporting them, that was when only about 3,000 a year were coming here, not up to 1,000 a day. And I’ll ask him, since he feels so sorry for all these poor children, who will vote Democratic, will you offer to feed and house them if and when the government runs out of money? I’ll take a while guess, “not.” Socialism will never create jobs nor will it ﬁx this country’s ills. I respect every persons right to free speech, even Mr. Milbyer’s. But then that’s because I hold our Constitution sacred. I suspect he would like to have it banned. Roger Wilson Coos Bay

Making the case for new charter Just another silly “did you know” question. On Aug. 5 Commissioners Cribbins, Sweet and Main gave 84.3 miles of our Coos County Roads into the Coquille Indian Tribe Transportation Inventory. Approximately 23 different roads are impacted. The exact multiple locations on each road were requested several times, verbally and in writing, since July 1. The requests were summarily

ignored. And don’t bother to look in the BOC Aug.5 agenda or on the BOC Coos County website because the information, including the list of road areas and the agreement, is not there. You can, however, find the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) and the list of road names with their mileage in the July 1 commissioner meeting agenda, pages 18-21. Why the multiple small areas of road locations are needed specifically by the tribe for their school buses and getting to work (per the MOU) was not explained. What “upgrades” (that the county would be required to maintain) and “economic development” federal funds (per the MOU) they would then be qualified to apply for was additionally not addressed. What will the Bureau of Indian Affairs with Indian trust lands rules be? How many tribal laws (such as no firearms) and federal strings would then be in effect? The question of why the goodcondition, asphalted, 8 continuous miles of the Fairview Road are needed was ignored. No answers, no explanations and no commissioner discussion followed. Just the aye, aye, aye vote. This is not about the tribe. It is about the infrastructure and finances of Coos County being used to divide our community into

special interest groups against each other. Divide and conquer? Why are the commissionersigned agreements such as this agreement, the ORC (Oregon Resources Corp.) open ended agreement, the Bay Area Enterprise Zone Agreement, the CEP agreement, disposal of the solid waste facility agreement, etc, etc., not on the county site for the citizens to see,both before and after they sign? There are many very experienced, knowledgeable retired citizens in Coos County who can, viewing past history, read these agreements much better than the establishment few. Vote for the “Voice of the Voters” Home Rule Charter in November and bring some common sense and stability back to Coos County. Jaye Bell Coquille

Friends, hospital appreciated On May 1 of this year I experienced a serious health issue and was taken to Bay Area Hospital. I would like to thank many old friends and family members who reached out in support from

a long distance. I would also like to thank my friends locally who stepped forward and assisted me with my post hospital care, and especially the care of my animals from the ﬁrst day of my illness. My appreciation also goes to the wonderful staff at the hospital, from the kitchen to the NAs, the RNs and the doctors, for their care and professionalism. If anyone out there becomes ill, just hope you end up at Bay Area Hospital, it's the best. Joan M. Johnson North Bend

State Trooper kicked out of Autzen Stadium sues ofﬁcer and Eugene

Daughter’s obsessive stalker ratchets up his accusations DEAR ABBY: I am very concerned about my 33year-old daughter’s safety. A man in his mid-60s, someone she met at a previous job, has become obsessed with her. He has declared his love for her, divorced his wife and slathered my struggling, single daughter with gifts over the last three years. She has DEAR refused his advances on nearly a daily basis, and he is now tracking her e v e r y move. If she leaves her house for JEANNE PHILLIPS even 30 minutes, he knows and accuses her of going to have sex with someone. If she says she’s coming to my house, he drives by to verify it. If it takes her longer than he thinks it should, he accuses her of having sex with someone. She swears that she has never had sex with him. It has really intensiﬁed lately. I’m frantic about her safety. What should I do? — SCARED MOM IN FLORIDA DEAR SCARED MOM: Your daughter’s “admirer” is showing all the signs of being a stalker. Why is she carrying on ANY conversations with him and telling him where she’s going? If she accepted gifts he “slathered” on her, it may be why he feels she encouraged him. They should be returned. You and your daughter should go to the police and report what he has been doing. It may be necessary for her to take out a restraining order because this person appears to be unbalanced and may be dangerous. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I recently decided to get married. We plan to go to the courthouse next month and have a justice of the peace perform the ceremony. Since it will be nothing fancy, we have decided to invite just a few family members — his mom, grandma and brother, along with my mom and dad. What we need advice about is how to tell his mom. She feels that marriage is just a piece of paper and you shouldn’t need it to prove how committed you are. Because of her views, he wants to “surprise” her the day of the wedding when we all arrive at the courthouse. I feel it’s a bad idea, and she should have some time to get used to the thought of us being married. Any advice you can offer on when to tell her, and how to handle what she’s going to say? — FUTURE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW DEAR FUTURE D.I.L.: I agree that your boyfriend’s mother should be told beforehand, and the good news should be delivered by both of you. When she delivers the predictable “marriage is just a piece of paper” comment, you should respond that the piece of paper is an important one to you, and your boyfriend should tell her he’s doing this because he loves you and, in the event that anything should happen to him, he wants to provide for you. If she gives you an argument, remember that you’re asking for her blessing — not her permission. DEAR ABBY: Do you think people can change? — JILL IN CHESTER, PA. DEAR JILL: I assume you mean change for the better. The answer is yes, of course people can change. With motivation, determination and perseverance, people can accomplish almost anything they set their minds to.

Jessica Smith, 40, is arraigned by video in the courtroom of Clatsop County Circuit Judge Cindee S. Matyas in Astoria, on Tuesday. Smith, accused of killing her infant daughter before trying to slit her teenage daughter’s throat, has pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted murder.

Documents detail death of toddler at Cannon Beach motel ASTORIA (AP) — Notes left by a mother accused of drowning her 2-year-old and cutting the throat of her teenage daughter recounted the attack and said the “baby didn’t suffer as she fell asleep in the water,” according to an arrest warrant afﬁdavit unsealed Tuesday. The document was released as a Clatsop County Circuit Court judge accepted not guilty pleas from Jessica Smith to charges of aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder. The murder charge could bring the death penalty if Smith is convicted. Smith, 40, of Goldendale, Wash., appeared in court via video and smiled on several occasions during the 20minute hearing. She nodded and winked when asked whether she understood that

she would remain in jail at least until a Sept. 30 hearing. Authorities have said Smith checked into the Surf Sand Resort in Cannon Beach on July 29 under her own name with her two daughters in tow. Three days later, a cleaning crew found the drowned body of the 2-yearold girl. The still-breathing teenager was covered in blood with her throat cut. According to the afﬁdavit, Smith gave her teenage daughter a double dose of a sleeping agent, then used a numbing compound on her neck before her throat was slashed. Smith considered cutting the toddler’s throat, her 13year-old daughter told an Oregon State Police detective, but chose to drown the child instead. The state medical exam-

iner, Dr. Karen Gunson, told The Oregonian that the 2year-old had been heavily sedated with an over-thecounter antihistamine. Gunson told the newspaper that asphyxiation by drowning was the main cause of the 2-year-old’s death and the drug was a “contributing cause.” The teen was identiﬁed in the afﬁdavit but her name is being withheld by The Associated Press because of her age. Prosecutors have declined to provide further details on the attacks. In court Tuesday, Smith’s attorney William David Falls said the case is complex and he would need time to prepare for several possible defenses, including one based on Smith’s mental health.

EUGENE (AP) — A state trooper who was kicked out of Autzen Stadium during Oregon’s football game against Washington State University last October is suing the officer who ejected him and the city of Eugene for $400,000. The Register-Guard reports the lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in Eugene. Trooper Marc Boyd says it was a case of mistaken identity and that he was roughed up and wrongly detained after a fight that didn’t involve him. He was banned from the stadium from 18 months. A police department spokesman said Monday he could not comment on the pending litigation. The 49-year-old Boyd worked as a fish and wildlife officer in the Springfield office. Lt. Gregg Hastings says he has been re-assigned to the patrol division and is currently on approved leave.

Ex-Sheriff is new Prineville police chief PRINEVILLE (AP) — Former Deschutes County Sheriff Les Stiles has been named interim police chief in Prineville. He takes over for Eric Bush, who was dismissed last month after nine months on paid leave. Stiles was Sheriff from 2001 to 2007. He told KTVZ he was asked by the city to take the interim job, and expects to serve for between six months and 18 months. Bush recently ﬁled a $2.5 million lawsuit in which he said the ﬁring was unjust.Bush

STATE

D I G E S T is also a brigadier general in the Oregon Army National Guard, and his lawsuit states he was undone by an ambitious deputy who had eyes for his job and a city government that resented the leave he took for military service.

Sheriff’s Office seeks info on homicide victim OREGON CITY (AP) — The Clackamas County Sheriff’s office is hoping tips from the public will provide more information on a male homicide victim whose body was found in a field between Wilsonville and Aurora. The Sheriff’s office says the body of the unidentified man was found Monday. An autopsy showed he died from a gunshot wound. The man, described as in his 20s or 30s, was wearing a distinctive cross with blue stones on a neck chain.

Gov. OKs state aid for S. Oregon wildfire GRANTS PASS (AP) — Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber has authorized the state fire marshal to send structural firefighters and equipment to help local fire crews battle a new wildfire that is threatening more than 130 homes in southern Oregon’s Jackson County.

Nation and World Palestinian negotiators mull Egyptian proposal CAIRO (AP) — Palestinian negotiators were mulling over an Egyptian proposal to end the monthlong IsraelHamas war as the latest 72-hour cease-fire in the Gaza Strip was due to expire on midnight Wednesday. Since the truce went into effect Sunday, Israel has halted military operations in the coastal territory and Gaza militants have stopped firing rockets. The cease-fire was meant to give the two sides time to negotiate a more sustainable truce and a roadmap for the coastal territory.

Sharpton says police must identify officer FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The Rev. Al Sharpton pressed police Tuesday to release the name of the officer who fatally shot an unarmed black teenager in suburban St. Louis, and he pleaded for calm after two nights of violent protests over the young man’s death. Police said death threats prompted them to withhold the name of the officer, who was placed on administrative leave after fatally shooting 18year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, where the incident has stoked racial tension, rallies and a night of looting.

Troops step up Baghdad security BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi troops imposed heightened security in Baghdad Wednesday as international support mounted for a new prime minister to replace Nouri al-Maliki, who has called on the armed forces to stay out of politics amid fears of a possible coup. Tanks and Humvees were positioned on Baghdad bridges and at major intersections on Wednesday,with security personnel more visible than usual. About 100 pro-Maliki demonstrators took to Firdous Square in the capital, pledging their allegiance to him.

AP video journalist, translator killed in Gaza

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Associated Press video journalist and a freelance Palestinian translator were killed Wednesday when ordnance left over from the Israeli-Hamas war exploded as they were reporting on the conﬂict’s aftermath. Simone Camilli and Ali Shehda Abu Afash died when an unexploded missile believed to have been dropped in an Israeli airstrike blew up as Gaza police engineers were working to neutralize it in the northern town of Beit Lahiya. Police said three police engineers also were killed. Four people, including AP photographer Hatem Moussa, were badly injured.

Moussa told a colleague that they were ﬁlming the scene when an initial explosion went off. He said he was hit by shrapnel and began to run when there was a second blast, which knocked him out. He woke up in a hospital and later underwent surgery. Camilli, a 35-year-old Italian national, had worked for the AP since 2005, when he was hired in Rome. He relocated to Jerusalem in 2006, and often covered assignments in Gaza. He had been based recently in Beirut, returning to Gaza after the war began last month. He is survived by a longtime partner and a 3-year-old daughter in Beirut, as well as

his father, Pier Luigi, in Italy. Camilli is the 33rd AP staffer to die in pursuit of the news since AP was founded in 1846, and the second this year. On April 4, AP photographer Anja Niedringhaus was killed and veteran AP correspondent Kathy Gannon was badly wounded by a gunman in Afghanistan. He is the ﬁrst foreign journalist killed in the Gaza conﬂict, which took more than 1,900 Palestinian lives and 67 on the Israeli side. Abu Afash, a 36-year-old Gaza resident, is survived by his wife and two daughters, ages 5 and 6. He often worked with the international media as a translator and news assistant.

Deadline to clear up health law eligibility near WASHINGTON (AP) — The clock is ticking for hundreds of thousands of people who have unresolved issues affecting their coverage under the new health care law. The Obama administration said Tuesday that letters are going out to about 310,000 people whose citizenship or immigration details don’t match what the government has on ﬁle. These consumers need to send in their documentation

by Sept. 5. Otherwise their coverage will end Sept. 30. Of the 8 million people who signed up for private coverage through President Barack Obama’s law, more than 2 million at one point had discrepancies of some sort that affected their eligibility. That number has been greatly reduced — but the remaining cases are proving difﬁcult to resolve. People living in the country illegally are not allowed to get coverage. Ofﬁcials at

the Health and Human Services Department said the letters will notify consumers with unresolved citizenship and immigration issues that they can upload their documents to the HealthCare.gov website, or mail them in. Most haven’t responded to repeated outreach efforts, ofﬁcials said. Hispanics, who historically have lagged in health insurance coverage, may account for a big share of the group.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki said Wednesday he will not relinquish power until a federal court rules on what he called a “constitutional violation” by the president to replace him with a member of his own party. The embattled premier has grown increasingly isolated, with Iraqi politicians and much of the international community lining up behind Haider al-Abadi, a fellow member of his Shiite Dawa party tasked by the president with forming a new government that can unite the country in the face of an onslaught by Sunni militants. “Holding on (to the premiership) is an ethical and patriotic duty to defend the rights of voters,” he said in his weekly televised address to the nation. “The insistence on this until the end is to protect the state.” Al-Maliki on Monday vowed legal action against President Fouad Massoum for carrying out “a coup” against the constitution. “Why do we insist that this government continue and stay as is until a decision by the federal court is issued?” he asked, answering: “It is a constitutional violation — a conspiracy planned from the inside or from out.”

FERGUSON, Mo. — Nights of unrest have vied with calls for calm in a St. Louis suburb where an unarmed black teenager was killed by police, while the community is still pressing for answers about the weekend shooting. Hundreds of residents packed two churches Tuesday evening for community meetings about the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was confronted by a Ferguson officer while walking with a friend in the street near his grandmother’s home. People also gathered in the streets Tuesday night, shouting at police. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that police again fired tear gas into a crowd. One person was injured in a drive-by shooting, although it was not clear if the shooting was related to the protests. The Post-Dispatch also reported that a St. Louis County police officer shot and critically wounded a man who authorities said pulled a handgun on the officer. The fatal shooting of Brown has exposed deep racial and economic fault lines in the community. At one church gathering with dozens of clergy members and elected officials, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon urged calm “in the face of crisis.” “We stand together

The gathering at the church was in response to the police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown on Saturday. tonight, reeling from what feels like an old wound torn open afresh,” Nixon said. “A wound that hadn’t quite healed right in the first place, and now the pain is just as searing as when the injury first occurred.” The other church rally featured the Rev. Al Sharpton, who earlier in the day pressed police to release the name of the police officer involved — but also pleaded for calm after a night of looting and vandalism and instances of police using tear gas.

“The local authorities have put themselves in a position — hiding names and not being transparent — where people will not trust anything but an objective investigation,” Sharpton said at a news conference with Brown’s parents. Ferguson police initially planned to release the name of the ofﬁcer, who is on administrative leave, on Tuesday. But they said death threats to its ofﬁcers prompted them to withhold it. Computer hackers have also targeted the

city’s website and released details online about individual city employees. “If we come out and say, ‘It was this officer,’ then he immediately becomes a target,” Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said. “We’re taking the threats seriously.” Police have not disclosed the race of the officer, but witnesses said he was white. The Ferguson police force has 53 officers, three of whom are black. Jackson said the city has had trouble recruiting and retaining black officers.

Other potential violations revealed by the investigation would be addressed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, he said. They include allowing pesticides to fall on properties other than the intended spray site, and applying a heavier dose than instructed on the label guidelines when spraying one of the commercial timberland sites.

“If we had gotten accurate information in a timely fashion from the get go, this thing could have been wrapped up very quickly and we could have provided the best information to the community,” Pokarney said. “We do know we need to do a better job of communication with the community in cases like this.” Lisa Arkin of the pesticides watchdog group Beyond Toxics said the overspray could have been prevented if earlier complaints about the operator had been prosecuted as fully by the department.

Ducks NB, Marshfield announce practice times suffer losses THE WORLD

In case you may have not noticed, hidden at the bottom of the front page of Tuesday’s sports section, another Duck was hunted down. After an offseason full of depressing news for Oregon football diehards, starting lineman Tyler Johnstone will miss the entire 2014 season with an ACL tear. An offensive lineman getting ruled out might typically go unnoticed, but for me, this loss may have broken the mallard’s spine for the Ducks’ season. Bralon Addison — who is for my money the most exciting player on the Ducks team, including quarterback Marcus Mariota — tore his ACL in spring practice, completely deflating a solid portion of my excitement for the season. Rahim Cassell became a sneaky asset in the secondary for the Ducks last year, but after a DUII arrest in May, he’s parted ways with the team. Promising recruit from a year ago Tyrell Robinson, whose twin bother Tyree is also on the team, has decided to transfer away. Johnstone, who tore his ACL in the Civil War last year as well, was one of the most personable kids on the team last year. Johnstone endears himself to fans everyday on his Twitter feed, where he’s much SPORTS more clever than your average athlete. A local Eugene television station picked him to run a weekly “exclusive” segment, and he was notawkward enough for me to actually GEORGE watch. He seemed ARTSITAS like you’re atypical “glue guy” in the locker room. (To be fair, Andre Yruretagoyena— who is poised to fill Johnstone’s spot — is just as gregarious and can also make local media salivate at his prolific Twitter. His name is just harder to spell). At some point the losses add up. I get asked all the time how I feel about the Ducks, and I always answer the same way: scared. Since taking down Texas in the Alamo Bowl a day before New Year’s Eve last year,Oregon has been a program plagued with questions. Can Mariota’s knee hold up? Do they have enough weapons for Mariota to really thrive? How will their defense adjust to new defensive coordinator Dom Pellum? For a team coming into the year ranked No. 4 in the USA TODAY’s coaching poll, these questions don’t coincide with overwhelming national success. Yes, they were very fortuitous to have kids forgo the NFL Draft and come back to school. Mariota, Hroniss Grasu and Ifo Ekpre-Olomu turned down potentially lucrative rookie NFL contracts to compete for a national title. But you have to feel for these kids as they watch their teammates fall one after the other. New hires include Pellum, who will have to replace the indomitable Mike Leach-detesting Nick Allioti as he rides his loquacious self into the abyss of retirement. How will the longtime Duck staffer adjust to a bigger role? The Bay Area’s own Mark Helfrich is coming into this year — remember last year’s Colt Lyerla and his “circumstances” — with a season of adversity under his belt. There’s a lot more questions than answers, but the feeling is that Mariota compensates for the other flaws. I won’t lie. Mariota’s versatility makes him the personification of dynamic. But I don’t know that all the Duck’s questions are automatically answered with how incredible Mariota is, especially considering how big of a question Mariota’s knee is itself. This season seems much too much like a formality for the Ducks. After a half decade of prominence on the national scene, Oregon has the reputation of a Top-10 team, but may not have the steak to back up the sizzle. Oregon has been running off reputation — quick pace, lots of plays, brisk offense — since I graduated high school, but now they could be operating off hype. Their first game is against South Dakota on Aug. 30. All due respect to the Coyotes, the Ducks practice squad could cover the opener. But Sept. 6, against Michigan State, is the big one. That’s when the questions get answered.

With the start of fall practice next week, Marshfield and North Bend high schools are asking athletes to get their paperwork filled out by the next few days. The first day of official practice for fall sports under Oregon School Activities Association rules is Monday. Marshfield’s athletic office is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. this week for parents to fill out paperwork so their students can get gold cards. In addition to paperwork and the athlete participation fee of $100, students also must have a current physical (within the past two years). North Bend’s athletic department is open from 7:30 a.m.-noon and 1:30-4 p.m. for parents to fill out necessary paperwork and pay the participation fee of $75 ($50 for students on free or reduced lunch).

Next week starts the busy preparation period for the teams, many of which have been in team camps this week or last. Starting this year, teams can’t hold daily doubles on consecutive days, and when they do have doubles, they have to have at least three hours between the practices. Marshfield’s football team will have single practices from 9 a.m.-noon each day. The volleyball team, meanwhile, will have tryouts or practice from 9-11:30 a.m. and 3-5 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, from 9-11:30 a.m. Tuesday and from 9 a.m.-noon Thursday and Friday. The boys and girls soccer teams both will practice at Golden Field from 5 p.m. all week. And the high school cross country team practices from 8-9:30 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. The sixth- through eighth-grade cross coun-

try team practices weekdays from 5:30-7 p.m. until school starts, while the eighth grade football team practices from 9 a.m.-noon next week. The participation fee is $50 for junior high students. North Bend’s football team practices from 8-11 a.m. and 3:30-6 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and 3:30-6 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.

All eyes will be on Oregon's Marcus Mariota when the Ducks take the field this season. The junior quarterback could have bolted for the NFL this spring but he decided to stay with the Ducks, who were ranked as high as No. 2 last season before two losses took them out of contention for the national championship.

North Bend High School will host the Summer Basketball Event Tournament on Aug. 23. The tournament will welcome all participants high school age and older. Teams will be separated by the decade they graduated high school. The teams will meet at 9 a.m. and quit at about 5 p.m. in time for North Bend football’s Brown and Gold game. Around eight players are suggested per registered team, but the tournament will accept single players that will be placed on a team. Entry is free.

Mariota is the focal point for Oregon BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

EUGENE — Here’s all anyone needs to know about Oregon’s upcoming season: Marcus Mariota. OK, maybe not entirely, but Mariota will certainly receive a better part of the attention each time Oregon takes the field this fall. The junior quarterback could have bolted for the NFL this spring but he decided to stay with the Ducks, who were ranked as high as No. 2 last season before two losses took them out of contention for the national championship. When asked what Mariota’s return means for the team, coach Mark Helfrich was succinct: “A ton.” “On the field Marcus’s contribution and dynamic nature, and the way he plays, speaks for itself,” Helfrich said. “The behind the scenes thing is deciding to come back and his leadership. He’s 100 percent true. He’s 100 percent dedicated to the team, and 100 percent credible.” Mariota and the Ducks are looking for redemption this season. Just don’t call it “unfinished business.” “We want to take it and see how far we can go with it. We want to be

part of the Pac-12 title game, we want to be part of the playoff picture,” he said. “For you to say it’s national championship or bust, that’s an outside opinion.” Oregon has been picked to win not only the Pac-12 North but also the league championship by the media who cover the conference. The Ducks rank consistently in the top five in most preseason polls. A top reason is Mariota, who averaged nearly 282 yards passing per game and threw for 31 touchdowns with only four interceptions last season. He also rushed for 715 yards and nine scores. His 4,380 yards of total offense set a school record. He was a Heisman Trophy candidate until he partially torn the medial collateral ligament in his left knee nine games into the season. Oregon went on to fall to Stanford and Arizona and the Pac-12 North title went to the Cardinal. The Ducks finished 11-2 after a 30-7 victory over Texas in the Alamo Bowl. Fully healed, Mariota is among nine offensive starters from a team that ranked No. 2 in the nation with an average of 565 yards a game and also averaged 45.5 points per game. Here’s five things to know about Oregon for the upcoming season:

Who stayed, who left? Top returnees include cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu and center Hroniss Grasu, who also could have gone early to the NFL but decided to stay another season. Also returning is Byron Marshall, the Ducks’ top running back last season with 1,038 yards and 14 touchdowns. Running back De’Anthony Thomas and cornerback Terrance Mitchell left school early, while wide receiver Josh Huff and defensive tackle Taylor Hart graduated. Wide receiver Bralon Addison is still recovering from surgery this spring to repair a torn ACL.

Big test early After the season opener against South Dakota on Aug. 30, the Ducks will host defending Rose Bowl champion Michigan State. Both teams, which will likely be ranked, were anticipating the game as a measuring stick for where they stand on the national stage. “Win or lose, we’ll have a better understanding of how we need to improve after that game,” Spartans defensive lineman Shilique Calhoun said. “As a kid, I feel like everyone looks at

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Professional football is not a career that encourages sabbaticals. Hundreds of fresh rookies arrive every summer ready to grab a roster spot from any veteran who wanted to take a season off. A handful of players — some who took religious missions, others who tried coaching, journalism or acting — are trying to make the comeback this season. “When you get out, it’s so hard to get back in,” said offensive lineman Ryan McKee, one of a handful of players trying to get a second chance in Kansas City. “Really hard.”

McKee was so fed up with football after getting cut by the Rams two years ago that he spent last season coaching at North Carolina. When he decided to give the game another chance, he realized that earning a job would be more difficult the second time around. “The NFL really is about once you’re with a club, doing everything you can to stay with that club,” he said. “A lot of it is timing, staying healthy and making the most out of a chance.” Players who spend a season off a roster are often forgotten. And rookies are easy to find and less expensive than veterans. “You need to go somewhere where someone is going to give you a legitimate chance,” said safety

LOS ANGELES — Steve Ballmer finally has an NBA outlet for his rah-rah displays of emotion as the new owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. The former Microsoft CEO’s record $2 billion purchase of the team was confirmed by a Los Angeles judge on Tuesday, clearing the way for the avid pickup basketball player to take over the team from Donald Sterling, who unsuccessfully fought his estranged wife over the sale. The sale achieves Ballmer’s longtime goal of owning a team. He made a bid last year before owners chose to keep the Kings in Sacramento, rather than allow them to be sold to a group that included Ballmer and moved to Seattle. Now the man with the booming voice and energetic high-fives, who was Microsoft’s biggest booster, has got his own team to share with his wife and three sons. “We’re a family that likes basketball,” he told The Associated Press in a phone interview. Ballmer, who lives in the Seattle area, said he hopes to attend a lot of Clippers games next season. He said interim CEO Dick Parsons has agreed to stay on for the time being. “That gives me a chance to fig-

Sports Broncos lose LB 6-8 weeks ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos leading tackler Danny Trevathan is out six to eight weeks after fracturing his left knee during a particularly intense padded practice Tuesday. The Broncos said their weakside linebacker has what’s called a medial tibial impaction fracture but, fortunately, no torn ligaments. “Well, we were hoping it was a bruise. That would have been the best news,” coach John Fox said after the team’s evening walk-through. “But obviously, that’s better than ligament damage. Those are out-for-the-season types of things. So, at some point we will get him back.” Trevathan, who didn’t put any weight on his left leg after being carted off the field during team drills, is expected to return to the Broncos right around their bye week in late September, meaning he’d only miss three regular season games, at most. He was hurt on an 11-on-11 run play in which center Will Montgomery rolled over him. Trevathan, a sixth-round draft choice out of Kentucky in 2012, is coming off a breakout season in which he led the Broncos with 124 tackles and intercepted three passes before leading the team with two dozen tackles in the playoffs. “You just hate it,” Peyton Manning said while Trevathan was being examined by the team’s medical staff. “You hate it in a game when you see that. And you hate it out here in practice. So, our prayers are with Danny. We’re praying for positive results and hopefully he’s OK. He’s an important part of our football team.” The Broncos were hoping for a repeat of what happened last October, when Trevathan

FCC’s Pai supports repeal of blackout rules BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Ajit Pai called the NFL’s television blackout rules “outdated,” and urged his fellow Federal Communications Commission representatives to vote in favor of having them repealed to address fan concerns. “Right now, the FCC is officially on the side of blackouts. We should be on the side of sports fans,” Pai said during a news conference in Buffalo on Tuesday. “The FCC shouldn’t get involved in handing out special favors or picking winners and losers. And in my view, there is no reason for the FCC to be involved in the sports blackout business.” Pai, one of five FCC commissioners, became the first The Associated Press to speak out in favor of elimiDenver Broncos' Danny Trevathan runs a drill against Lerentee McCray nating the NFL policy the (55) during training camp Tuesday in Englewood, Colo.

in advance of kickoff from being broadcast in the home team’s market by cable and satellite providers. The FCC first weighed in on sports blackout policies in December, when commissioners voted unanimously to seek public input on the issue. Pai is now calling for FCC chairman Tom Wheeler to put the issue to a vote. A simple majority from the five commissioners, which include Wheeler, is required. Wheeler has not indicated whether he intends to bring the issue to a vote. Pai was joined by U.S. Rep. Brian Higgins, who has argued against the NFL’s blackout policy and how it has specifically affected Buffalo Bills fans over the past few years. The Bills had one home game blacked out last season, two in 2012 and three more in 2011.

The NFL is against having the policy repealed by arguing it would undercut blackout agreements the league has with its network broadcasters. Two weeks ago, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell questioned whether a lifting of the policy on cable and satellite providers would potentially lead to fewer games broadcast for free on over-the-air networks. “We are 99 percent sold out, so it has very little impact on our business,” Goodell said. “But it could have an impact on the overall business model for free television. We think that’s devastating to our consumers and consumers in general.” The NFL and its network broadcasters have established a “Protect Football on Free TV” campaign, and appointed Hall of Fame receiver Lynn Swann as its spokesman.

Raiders-Cowboys practice gets heated

KIDS DAY

But even that brawl and a smaller one on the other field involving Cowboys running back J.C. Copeland and Raiders linebacker Justin Cole couldn’t mar the day. “I don’t like the fights. I want to come out and practice football,” Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. “We don’t have any time for that, and we certainly don’t want to get anybody injured in fisticuffs. I thought both teams came out and competed and got a lot of good work in.” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones praised the enthusiasm and atmosphere of the practice that was watched by 8,326 fans, many of whom lined up early in the morning for the chance to watch. “It was hard to believe that this was a practice,” Jones said.

The practice was more physical than anticipated with players frequently being brought down to the turf despite both coaches saying before it started that they did not want any live tackling. But after nearly three weeks of practicing against each other, the players were excited for the chance to hit players in another jersey. That’s how the first brawl started. Claiborne felt as if Rivera lowered his shoulder to try to break a tackle so he responded by throwing Rivera to the ground. That raised the ire of Raiders receiver Greg Little, who came flying in to protect his teammate, leading to the fight on the sideline in front of a boisterous group of Raiders fans.

Djokovic advances; Venus, Tsonga lose

The Associated Press

Britain's gold medal winner Jo Pavey is flanked by France's silver medal winner Clemence Calvin and France's bronze medal winner Laila Traby, right, after the women's 10,000-meter final during the European Athletics Championships in Zurich, Switzerland on Tuesday.

Pavey, mother of 2, wins 10,000 at Euros at age 40 ZURICH (AP) — Jo Pavey won the first major title in her career at 40 and as a mother of two — still breastfeeding her daughter Emily during the spring when her rivals were in the midst of self-centered, focused preparation. Yet, the British veteran took the lead in the last lap to outkick two Frenchwomen chasing her and claim the gold medal in the 10,000 meters at the European championships on Tuesday. After Olympics, world championships and Commonwealth Games failed to produce gold during a frustrating career, Pavey could not be denied to set the crowd at the Letzigrund alight and become the oldest female champion at the Euros. It would have been truly unbelievable a few months ago, when she dragged herself through sleepness nights so many young mothers go through. “I kept plugging away. And

when I was breastfeeding and going down the track doing sessions, my times were terrible,” she said. “I was lying on the floor exhausted, and I was thinking:’ how on earth will I be able to run?”’ In the end, it was with eyes closed and teeth gritted in exhaustion that she crossed the line in 32 minutes, 22.39 seconds, holding an edge of 1.19 seconds over Clemence Calvin. Laila Traby took bronze in 32:26.03. Moments before Pavey’s win, defending champion David Storl of Germany won the first title of the competition, taking the shot put with a heave of 21.41 meters, with Spain’s Borja Vivas taking silver behind the double reigning world champion with 20.86. Olympic champion Tomasz Majewski took bronze with 20.83. On the track, Dafne Schippers successfully started her week by cruising into the semifinals of the 100

meters, the first of three titles the Dutchwoman is chasing. Despite a bad start and a leisurely finish, she crossed in 11.10 seconds, second only to Myriam Soumare of France’s 11.03. Soumare is expected to be Schippers’ toughest opponent for Wednesday’s title. “I had to put on the turbo for a little while and relax afterward,” said Schippers, who is looking for a sprint triple in the 100, 200 and team relay. Defending champion Ivet Lalova was third-fastest in 11.17. In the men’s 100, Christophe Lemaitre of France is trying to rekindle the form which earned him a sprint triple at the 2010 Euros. The defending 100 champion was second-fastest with 10.16 seconds, trailing countryman Jimmy Vicaut by .10 seconds. Three Britons, led by Dwain Chambers filled the rest of the top five qualifiers.

MASON, Ohio (AP) — Top-ranked Novak Djokovic beat Gilles Simon 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 in his opening match at the Western & Southern Open on Tuesday night. It is the only Masters series event he has never won, finishing as the runner-up four times. If he wins this week, he will become the first with titles at all nine ATP Masters events. Djokovic has beaten Simon eight straight times. The opening game of the third set went 20 points and 15 minutes, with Simon turning aside six break points. Djokovic finally broke through for a 4-3 lead and served out the 2-hour, 9-minute match. The last set took 59 minutes. Djokovic had 36 unforced errors in the breezy evening conditions. The tournament lost its other defending champion on Tuesday when Victoria Azarenka withdrew because of an injured right knee. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Venus Williams made quick exits after leaving their winning touch in Canada. Two days after he beat Roger Federer for his second Masters title in Toronto, Tsonga fell to Mikhail fell to Mikhail Youzhny 6-1, 6-4. Williams knocked off sister Serena while reaching the finals in Montreal on Sunday, finishing runner-up. She lost to Lucie Safarova 67 (2), 6-3, 6-4 in the first round Tuesday. Fifth-seeded Maria Sharapova broke Madison Keys to go up 3-0 in the final set and held on for a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 win.

McCoy medalist at U.S. Amateur JOHNS CREEK, Ga. (AP) — Taylor Moore and Lee McCoy were at 8-under 135 to earn medalist honors after stroke play Tuesday at the U.S. Amateur Championship. Moore, a junior at the University of Arkansas, birdied four of his last five holes to shoot a 69 on the par-71 Highlands course. McCoy, a junior at Georgia, overcame a double-bogey with a stretch of five birdies in seven holes for a 68. Cheng-Tsung Pan, Jimmy Beck, Sam Burns, Jonathan Garrick and Will Zalatoris were at 5-under 138. The top 60 players have qualified for match play, which will lead up to the championship on Sunday. A playoff involving 17 players for the final four spots in the field will be held Wednesday on the Riverside Course. Burns, an 18-year-old high school senior from Shreveport, Louisiana, shot a 66, the day’s low round, on the par-72 Riverside Course. He had seven birdies and one bogey. Ollie Schniederjans of Powder Springs, Georgia, the No. 1-ranked amateur in the world, shot a 3-under 69 on the Riverside Course. He finished at 1-under 142 and advanced to match play. Also advancing to match play was No. 2ranked Robbie Shelton of Wilmer, Alabama, and Taylor Funk of Ponte Vedra, Florida, the son of eight-time PGA Tour winner Fred Funk. The cut was at 2-over 146. Among those who missed was 13-year-old Will Thomson of Pittsford, New York, the youngest player to qualify for the U.S. Amateur Championship. Thomson finished at 12-over 155.

Davis Cup moves matches LONDON (AP) — The International Tennis Federation ruled Tuesday that Davis Cup matches will be moved out of Ukraine and Israel because of security issues in both countries. The ITF board of directors rejected an appeal by the Israel Tennis Association against last week’s decision to switch the Sept. 12-14 World Group playoff against Argentina to a neutral venue because of the conflict in Gaza. The match had been scheduled to be played in Tel Aviv. The ITF said Israel has until Thursday to nominate a venue in another country. The board also upheld an appeal by Belgium against the decision to play its World Group playoff against Ukraine, also on Sept. 12-14, in Kiev. Ukraine has five working days to nominate a neutral venue. If Israel and Ukraine propose neutral venues that are accepted by the Davis Cup Committee, they will be considered the home nations and can choose the court surfaces. If they refuse, the committee has the right

Braves’ skid continues in Los Angeles ATLANTA (AP) — Dan Haren pitched six solid innings and sparked the go-ahead rally with a single, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to another win over the skidding Atlanta Braves, 4-2 on Tuesday night. Haren (10-9) allowed a fourth-inning homer to B.J. Upton that put the Braves up 21, but the light-hitting pitcher came through with a one-out single to right in the fifth. Carl Crawford followed with a double, and Haren scored the tying run on Yasiel Puig’s grounder to third. Matt Kemp hit a little blooper to right that just got over the glove of second baseman Tommy La Stella, bringing home Crawford. That was enough for the Dodgers. Mike Minor (4-8) matched his longest outing of the past month after being skipped his previous turn in the rotation. The Atlanta lefty went 6 2-3 innings, allowing eight hits and all three Dodgers run. Pirates 4, Tigers 2: Edinson Volquez allowed two runs over six innings and the Pirates jumped on the Tigers early in a victory. Volquez (10-7) struck out five and walked two against five hits to improve to 6-1 in his last seven decisions. Travis Snider went 2 for 4 with an RBI for the Pirates. Gaby Sanchez and Ike Davis added RBI doubles and Jordy Mercer chipped in a run-scoring single. Alex Avila hit his ninth homer of the season for Detroit. Robbie Ray (1-2) gave up four runs in fiveplus innings while making a spot start for the weary Tigers. Detroit has lost six of seven as it battles surging Kansas City for the lead in the AL Central. Cubs 3, Brewers 0: Rookie Kyle Hendricks pitched 7 1-3 innings of six-hit ball in his third consecutive win, and the Cubs cooled off Wily Peralta and the Brewers. Hendricks (4-1) struck out five and walked one in his third consecutive win, continuing an impressive opening run for his major league career. Anthony Rizzo hit his 26th homer for Chicago, which had lost three of four. Trying for a major league-high 15th win, Peralta (14-7) allowed three runs and seven hits in 6 1-3 innings. Nationals 7, Mets 1: Michael Taylor homered in his big league debut, setting off a silly sequence to retrieve the souvenir, and the Nationals backed Doug Fister with four long shots in a romp over the Mets. Bryce Harper homered early, then Anthony Rendon, Ian Desmond and Taylor connected in the sixth inning as the NL East leaders won their ninth straight at Citi Field. Promoted from Triple-A over the weekend, Taylor singled in his first at-bat and later hit a two-run drive the opposite way at one of the majors’ most spacious parks. Marlins 3, Cardinals 0: Jarred Cosart pitched seven innings in a duel with Adam Wainwright to earn his first victory for the Marlins, who beat the Cardinalsy. Cosart allowed three hits and one walk to win for the first time since July 7. The victory came in his second start for Miami after being acquired from Houston in a trade for prospects. He’s 1-1 with Miami and 10-7 overall. Wainwright (14-7), making his first start against the Marlins since 2010, missed a chance to became the first 15-game winner in

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dan Haren follows through with a pitch in the second inning against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday, in Atlanta. the majors. He went seven innings and allowed three runs, with two coming on a home run off the foul pole by Donovan Solano. Red Sox 3, Reds 2: Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning, lifting the Red Sox to a win over the Reds. One pitch after ducking away from Jonathan Broxton’s high-and-inside fastball, Cespedes launched a no-doubt, 433-foot drive to center field with two outs and Brock Holt on second base to give Boston back-toback victories for the first time since a fivegame winning streak from July 13-20. Cespedes hit his 19th homer of the season and second with Boston — one in each of the last two games. Rangers 3, Rays 2, 14 innings: Carlos Ramos walked Adam Rosales with two outs in the 14th inning to force in the winning run and the Rangers beat Tampa Bay. Ramos (2-5), the Rays’ seventh pitcher, walked Rosales on four pitches, allowing pinch-running pitcher Nick Martinez to score. Texas’ sixth pitcher, Scott Baker (1-3) earned the victory with two scoreless innings. The Rangers had lost all 20 games in which he appeared before Tuesday. Astros 10, Twins 4: Chris Carter homered twice and tied a career high with five RBIs to lead the Astros over Minnesota. The game was tied in the third inning when Carter’s two-out, two-run drive to the Crawford Boxes in left field put Houston up 31. Carter connected again on his next at-bat with a three-run shot in the fifth which chased Minnesota rookie starter Yohan Pino (1-5). Athletics 11, Royals 3: Jon Lester pitched six strong innings and Josh Donaldson homered twice and drove in four runs as the Athletics beat Kansas City, snapping the

Royals’ eight-game winning streak. Lester (13-7) has won all three of his start since the A’s acquired him in July 31 trade for All-Star outfielder Yoenis Cespedes. Lester struck out nine and allowed three runs on six hits and two walks. White Sox 3, Giants 2, 10 innings: Gordon Beckham hit an RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning and the White Sox beat the Giants after blowing a two-run lead in the ninth. One batter after Jordan Danks was thrown out trying to score from third on a fielder’s choice, Beckham hit an 0-1 pitch from San Francisco reliever Santiago Casilla (1-2) past shortstop Brandon Crawford into left field. Sierra, who entered the game as a late defensive replacement, scored easily. Adam Dunn hit a two-run home run off Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong in the first for Chicago, which wasted another strong start by Chris Sale when reliever Jake Petricka gave up four hits in the ninth. Angels 7, Phillies 2: Cole Calhoun homered and had an RBI single during a seven-run sixth inning, and the Angels’ struggling offense rebounded for a victory over the Phillies. David Freese had a two-run double during the lengthy rally, which propelled Los Angeles to just its second win in seven games. Calhoun bookended the rally with two of his three hits for the Angels, who had scored just nine runs in their previous 61 innings. Padres 4, Rockies 1: Odrisamer Despaigne pitched five-hit ball for seven innings, leading the Padres to a win over the Rockies for their fourth straight win. Despaigne (3-3) struck out eight and walked two for San Diego, which has won 10 of 13. Chris Nelson drove in two runs in the eighth inning for the Padres.

BALTIMORE — Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig is looking forward to writing a book, teaching history and taking it easy when he retires this winter. Before that happens, however, he hopes to introduce his successor — perhaps as soon as Thursday. Baseball’s 30 owners will meet in Baltimore this week to vote on Selig’s replacement. A seven-man committee whittled down an expansive list to three candidates: MLB Chief Operating Officer Rob Manfred, Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner and MLB Executive Vice President of Business Tim Brosnan. “The process has worked just the way I thought it would,” Selig said Tuesday at the Orioles’ home ballpark. “I gave them a great list of names, and these names were on it.” To win Thursday’s vote, a candidate must receive approval from at least 23 owners. “A lot of other people are making predictions,” Selig said. “I’m staying out of that business because I don’t know.” Asked what would happen if there is an impasse, Selig replied, “This seven-man committee has done really good work. We’ll see what happens.” This is what won’t happen: Selig changing his mind and sticking around. “I thought long and hard before I made my announcement in October of last year,” he said of the announcement, actually made Sept. 26. “I just celebrated my 80th birthday. In life, there’s a time to come but there’s also a time to go. I’m looking forward to that. I have a lot of things planned.” Those plans include writing an autobiography, teaching at two or three universities and “maybe a little peace and quiet.” “It’s time for baseball to move on and it’s time for me to move on,” he said. “If anybody would have told me back in September of 1992 I’d be here 22 1/2, 23 years, that would have not been conceivable. So, I’m done.” Before he leaves, Selig hopes to see the feud resolved between the Orioles and Washington Nationals over their broadcast rights. The Orioles own a controlling stake in MASN, which televises Nationals games as a result of an agreement when the team moved from Montreal. The Nationals want higher annual broadcast rights payments from MASN, and the network isn’t willing to pay the desired amount. “MASN is an inner-club dispute,” Selig said. “It’s an important goal before I step down. We’ve tried very hard, and we’ll continue to try. We’re doing everything we can.” As far as Thursday’s vote goes, Selig has only one priority. “The only goal I’ve really had all along is, when it’s all over that people can say, ‘Well, it was really fair,”’ Selig said. He was delighted to see that, even though the sport doesn’t have a salary cap, small-market teams such as Kansas City, Oakland and Tampa Bay have flourished.

Power surge in Seattle SEATTLE (AP) — Kyle Seager and Kendrys Morales hit solo home runs, Dustin Ackley added a key two-out two-run single, and the Seattle Mariners moved into a tie for the second wild card spot in the American League with a 6-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday. Seattle won for the seventh time in eight games to catch Detroit in the wild card race. Seattle got another solid performance from veteran Chris Young, who earned his 11th victory, and the Mariners also continued their recent offensive punch. Seager’s 18th homer gave

Seattle a 2-1 lead in the fourth. Ackley followed an inning later, going to the opposite field to drive in a pair. Morales capped the night with his first homer since being acquired by the Mariners in a trade with Minnesota in late July. It was Morales’ first homer since June 24, snapping a career-high, 41-game drought without a long ball. Young (11-6) pitched six strong innings, allowing just two hits. He yielded a firstinning run after walking Jose Reyes on four pitches and giving up Melky Cabrera’s RBI double to start the game. Young retired 14 straight after

Cabrera’s double, the streak snapped when Juan Francisco doubled in the fifth. Young struck out three and walked two, and won his third straight decision. Charlie Furbush got four outs with ease but Brandon Maurer gave up three hits in the eighth, capped by Jose Bautista’s RBI double. Toronto added another run on Nolan Reimold’s sacrifice fly, but Francisco Rodney pitched the ninth for his 33rd save. Logan Morrison extended his hitting streak to 13 games, The Associated Press with a single in the third, and scored on Austin Jackson’s Seattle Mariners' Kyle Seager, center, celebrates with teammates after he hit a solo home run in the fourth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, in Seattle. hit-and-run single.

CLIPPERS

“Donald Sterling’s petitions are patently frivolous,” said Pierce O’Donnell, Shelly’s attorney. “Donald’s request for relief is moot.” O’Donnell said his side filed an opposition urging denial of the petitions. He said the Sterling Family Trust received money from the sale earlier Tuesday. Donald Sterling’s attorneys weren’t available to comment. The NBA Board of Governors had previously approved the deal. “Really excited — in a pretty hardcore way — to continue the path to making the Clippers a better and better basketball team, and a better and better citizen of the Los Angeles community,” Ballmer told the AP. The sale was welcome

news to All-Star power forward Blake Griffin. “I look forward to having Mr. Ballmer as the owner and continuing our pursuit of a championship,” he said. Mayor Eric Garcetti said he had urged Donald Sterling to sell the team after a recording surfaced in April of the owner scolding his girlfriend for bringing black men to Clippers games, and he welcomed Ballmer. “We have somebody who’s going to keep the team here, who has the resources to continue to build the Clippers,” the mayor said. Shelly Sterling lamented losing the team, but Ballmer gifted her with the title of “owner emeritus.” She will receive two floor seats, 10 other seats and parking at Staples Center for games.

Shelly Sterling is ‘owner emeritus’ From Page B1 ure this all out,” he said. The sale ousted Donald Sterling as the NBA’s longest-tenured owner. He bought the team in 1981 for $12 million and presided over decades of losing seasons before battling his estranged wife in probate court to hold on to his most prized asset. Adam Streisand, Ballmer’s attorney, said Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas signed the order authorizing the sale even if Donald Sterling’s attorneys filed an appeal, which they did late Tuesday.

“I am confident that Steve will bring the city a championship team in the very near future,” she said. Ballmer takes over what could be a powerhouse team next season, led by coach Doc Rivers. By agreeing to the record purchase price, he has already proven he is willing to spend in contrast to the famously frugal Sterling, long regarded as the worst owner in the NBA. “The topic of conversation with Doc earlier was to focus in on what does it take and how can I help support him in achieving our mutual mission and in a pretty intense way continue to improve, be tenacious,” Ballmer said. “If we do all that, good things will come our way.” Ballmer said he wants to put the Sterling controversy in

the past and focus the team on being “a great citizen in the community for a diverse set of folks,” including the NBA’s predominantly black players. “We’re going to do our best on that,” he said. “I know that is high on Doc’s list, it’s high on my list to do that. We also have to be a phenomenal basketball team, play really well as a team and have great success on court. We’re going to work on all those things.” After the Sterling audio became public, the NBA banned him for life and fined him $2.5 million. Sterling was apologetic, but his mea culpa backfired when he criticized Lakers great Magic Johnson, who had been photographed with Sterling’s girlfriend, as a bad role model for kids because he had HIV. The 80-year-old real

estate mogul was roundly condemned around the league. With the NBA threatening to seize the team and auction it, Sterling initially gave his wife of 58 years permission to negotiate a sale but then refused to sign the Ballmer deal. He said he would sue the league instead and then revoked the trust, which his lawyers said effectively killed the deal. Shelly Sterling removed Donald as a trustee after doctors found he had symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Streisand said even if Donald Sterling seeks an emergency order directing the judge to vacate his order, the attorney is confident an appellate court would agree that Levanas made the correct decision.

Heisman repeat will not be easy BY KAREEM COPELAND The Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston has the opportunity to accomplish what only one other player has achieved — win the Heisman Trophy twice. Twenty-three underclassmen have won the award, but Ohio State running back Archie Griffin was the only one to pull off the feat. He is shocked that he remains the lone double winner since the award’s inception in 1935. Until recently, the majority of winners were seniors or juniors that could turn pro. But five of the last seven winners have been sophomores or redshirt freshmen. Griffin,the Heisman trophy winner in 1974 and 1975, believes it is more difficult to win the award in back-toback years than it was 40 years ago. For him, the off-the-field distractions were more stressful than any defense. “I’ll never forget that I was trying to do everything for everybody and (coach) Woody (Hayes) called me into his office,” Griffin said. “He told me, ‘You know what? It’s going to make you soft. You can’t do everything for everybody.”’ But unlike Griffin, who admitted it was a goal, Winston said he hasn’t even thought about a second Heisman. Winston said he is more concerned with a second national championship. “I’m going to be great, even better than I was last year,”

Winston said. “I’m going to continue to be myself.” Coach Jimbo Fisher said he and Winston have talked about the award, but not about winning another. “I do (talk to him) from the point of the responsibility that goes with it with your character and the things you do,” Fisher said. “Not about winning another one. If he just goes and plays well, that will take care of itself. “He never thought about winning a Heisman going into last year. You can’t worry about that.” There will be plenty who will. The demands and expectations are higher than when Griffin made history. Winston is the leading candidate heading into the season with the defending national champion Seminoles likely beginning the year ranked No. 1. Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, the 2012 Heisman winner, said that was the most difficult part for him in 2013. “There is a lot of pressure,” Manziel said. “You’re the one that’s on TV every week. You’re the one who at the beginning of the year is already at the top of everybody’s Heisman list. ... It’s everywhere because it’s the biggest trophy in college football. “For me, I never really let it get to me too much, but at the same time, it was always around and it was always lingering no matter what went on throughout the season.”

From Page B1 kid, I feel like everyone looks at Oregon, and you see the jerseys, and everyone loves all this. I really can’t wait to play there, because I want to see how it is.”

Allen’s summer break Redshirt freshman receiver Devon Allen apparently takes Oregon’s reputation for speed very seriously. He placed second at the Pac-12 outdoor track and field championships in both the 400 and 110 hurdles, then won the 110 hurdles title at the NCAA track and field championships in 13.16, a meet record and the secondbest collegiate time ever.

The Seminoles and Winston have tried to manage his off-the-field commitments. Winston made few public appearances during the offseason. He was the closer on the baseball team, finishing with a team-best 1.08 ERA, and accepted a handful of football awards. Winston was honored in his hometown of Bessemer, Alabama, and his Hueytown High School jersey was retired. There was also a trip to the ESPYs. The Florida State signalcaller said he has learned to be more guarded, but still loves having “all eyes on me.” Griffin said that isn’t necessarily a good thing. “They’re in a fishbowl,” Griffin said of Heisman contenders. “I mean, anything they do, Johnny, every move he made it was talked about.

Jameis, same thing. They’ve got to be extremely careful how they handle themselves because whatever they do, people are going to know about it.” The QB will also have a few on-field challenges. The Seminoles lost two of their top three receivers and their top two running backs to the NFL. Those four accounted for 52.6 percent of the offense and 44 touchdowns. Nonetheless, because of Winston, the Seminoles will be one of the teams to beat. Despite his talent, Winston has continued to downplay questions about the NFL. He insists that playing college baseball remains a priority. It would be a challenge to prepare for the 2015 NFL draft while playing for Florida State’s baseball team.

UCLA WR leaves practice in ambulance SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — UCLA receiver Devin Lucien left practice in an ambulance Tuesday after injuring his head. Bruins coach Jim Mora was visibly concerned about Lucien after the afternoon practice at training camp in San Bernardino. Mora didn’t immediately know the extent of Lucien’s injury.

“As always, we’re going to be overly cautious with anything that has to do with the head, neck or spine,” Mora said. “That’s not a toughness issue, but we’re praying for him and thinking about him. He’s in good hands.” Lucien started three games as a sophomore last season, catching 19 passes for 339 yards and two touchdowns. He is a strong candidate to be a starting receiver

for quarterback Brett Hundley this season opposite Jordan Payton. Lucien is an athletic junior known for acrobatic catches in practices and games. “I believe it was when he was making one of his rather spectacular, but sometimes typical, Devin Lucien catches that we’ve kind of grown accustomed to seeing,” Mora said. “It shook him up a little, so we’ll find out the extent of it.”

NFL From Page B1 the work, proving you want to be there,” Husain Abdullah said. “You can’t lose faith, and you have to be confident in yourself.” Joe McKnight was released by the Jets last season, spent a year away, and now is trying to catch on in Kansas City. Brandon Lloyd was cut by the Patriots and is trying to make it with the 49ers, the team that originally drafted him. Fellow wide receiver Derek Hagan spent a year away doing radio work and is trying to earn a job with the Titans. “I put the same amount of pressure on myself as I did when I was younger,” said Lloyd, who dabbled in acting during his hiatus. “There’s always been a couple things that I say to myself — not to let the playbook defeat me, to give maximum effort every time and to make the plays.” Danny Lansanah played five games for Green Bay in 2008. After spending time in the UFL, he began working for a rehabilitation program for troubled teens, and had nearly given up on playing in the NFL again. When the Jets

tandem in the nation. Could Byron Marshal and Thomas Tyner be the Ducks’ next super duo? Marshall ran for 1,038 yards last season, averaging 6.2 yards per carry. Tyner ran for 711 yards, a school record for a true freshman.

Defense Oregon moved Don Pellum from linebackers coach to defensive coordinator when Nick Aliotti retired following the Alamo Bowl after 24 years with the Ducks. Pellum inherits five returning starters, including senior Ekpre-Olomu, the only returnee on the Ducks’ secondary. While it doesn’t get as much attention as Oregon’s flashy offense, the defense allowed just 204.5 yards passing per game, top in the league. Overall, the D ranked second in scoring in the Pac-12 last season with an average of 20.5 points allowed per game.

called out of the blue last season, he gave it a shot. It didn’t work out in New York, but he was signed by Tampa Bay and appeared in one game last season. Now, he’s listed as the Buccaneers’ second-team linebacker. “When I got that second chance, I just made the best of my opportunity. Now I’m here,” he said. “I’m just enjoying the game of football, enjoying my teammates. They’re all great guys. I’m coming out here and giving my all every day.” Packers defensive tackle Johnny Jolly also made the most of a second chance. After serving a prison term for narcotics possession, he managed to earn a job in training camp after three full seasons away. He started eight times and played in 13 games last season before getting hurt. Not all comebacks work out nearly as well, though. After playing for three teams in 2010, former All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss was out of the league for a year. He came back in 2012 with San Francisco but was hardly the same player, playing in 16 games but catching only 28 passes for 434 yards.

Peterson, Husband and Wife, as grantor, to Ticor Title, as trustee, in favor of Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. as nominee for First Franklin A Division of National City Bank, its successors and assigns, as beneficiary, dated 09/13/06, recorded 09/15/06, in the mortgage records of Douglas County, Oregon, as 2006-022437 and subsequently assigned to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee for the holders of the First Franklin Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-FF17 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-FF17 by Assignment recorded as 2013-005514, covering the following described real property situated in said county and state, to wit: Lot 138, Mont Claire Subdivision, Phase 6, Douglas County, Oregon. PROPERTY ADDRESS: 2571 Parkway Avenue Sutherlin, OR 97479 Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the real property to satisfy the obligations secured by the trust deed and a notice of default has been recorded pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes 86.752(3); the default for which the foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sums: monthly payments of $1,101.19 beginning 06/01/11 and $1,100.17 beginning 7/01/11; plus late charges of $0.00 each month beginning 06/16/11; plus prior accrued late charges of $0.00; plus advances of $3,461.85 that represent paid bankruptcy and foreclosure fees and costs, property inspections, preservation and property valuation; together with title expense, costs, trustee’s fees and attorney’s fees incurred herein by reason of said default; any further sums advanced by the beneficiary for the protection of the above described real property and its interest therein; and prepayment penalties/premiums, if applicable.

BRIDGE Kin Hubbard, a journalist and humorist who died in 1930, said, “Everything comes to him who waits, except a loaned book.” I assume he means that if you lend someone a book, you will never get it back. I agree with that. However, the word “except” applies to this deal. What should West lead against four hearts? East opened with a weak two-bid, showing a respectable six-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. Then, after

South overcalled three hearts, West raised spades, applying the Law of Total Tricks. With nine trumps, bid to the nine-trick level. However, in this instance, it was perhaps not the best choice. It effectively pushed North into bidding four hearts. And if West had then bid four spades, he would have given the opponents a fielder’s choice — double or bid higher. Here, though, he allowed the prevailing vulnerability to keep him quiet. There was a strong case for jumping straight to four spades over three hearts, to pressure North. And pressured him it would have. He might well have gone to five hearts. Now to West’s lead. It is normal to select partner’s suit — except when you have an ace-king holding in an unbid side suit. Here, West should definitely lead the club ace. East will signal with the eight, starting a high-low (an echo) with his doubleton. West will cash the club king and lead a third round. East will ruff it and the diamond ace will defeat the contract. Note that after a spade lead, declarer will ruff his low spades in the dummy, draw trumps and lose only three tricks.

plicable. WHEREFORE, notice hereby is given that the undersigned trustee will on November 10, 2014 at the hour of 10:00 o’clock, A.M. in accord with the standard of time established by ORS 187.110, at the following place: inside the main lobby of the Douglas County Courthouse, 1036 SE Douglas, in the City of Roseburg, County of Douglas, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by grantor of the trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or grantor’s successors in interest acquired after the execution of the trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee.
