Shooter left notes Examination of a notebook uncovered potential ‘suicide notes’ BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

The bullet-riddled rental car in which a Michigan man was killed at Bastendorff Beach early Tuesday.

CHARLESTON — Zachary Brimhall may have left some reasoning behind after all. The man who, authorities say, killed his father and a stranger had a notebook in his vehicle that shed some light on his state of mind. Those notes, however, still do not answer the biggest question. Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier says the one certainty, coming in the aftermath of the

Aug. 18 -19 shootings, is that this was a tragic event that could have been much worse. “Two innocent people lost their lives,” he wrote in a lengthy press release Friday. “Families have been devastated. The ability to determine why this happened disappeared when Zachary Brimhall took his own life. Despite these circumstances, it could have been much worse. “Directly to the east of where this shooting started is the popular Bastendorff Beach County

Campground and Park. There were a lot of people in that campground on the night of Aug. 19. If (he) had started there instead of just down the hill on the beach access road there would have been many more fatalities and injuries.”

Filling in timeline As part of a 35-page press release, that included photographs and charts, Frasier was able to fill in more details of the events that led up SEE NOTES | A8

Burnout is Kool

By Lou Sennick, The World

Andy Woodward, in his 1968 Chevy Camaro, lights up the tires burning out lots of white smoke to the crowd Friday evening at the return of the Burnouts as part of the Kool Coastal Nights in Winchester Bay. Several hundred people gathered at the end of the marina spit to watch seven cars and trucks burn rubber and cheer the smoky results. The event continues today with a Show and Shine featuring 300 cars.

Easier access to medical records BY EMILY THORNTON

Online access

The World

SOUTH COAST — Patients now have more access to their health records at area hospitals. A new online service now allows patients to get their information from any computer by logging on to a website provided by each medical facility. Before, doctors printed out information while the patient was still in the office or they had to visit the records office. Now, patients can view, manage, download and transmit certain medical records, such as lab and radiology results, immunizations and prescribed medications. They first must sign a consent form and receive a username and password. At North Bend Medical Center, the portal, called Follow My Health, went operational last month, said Dr. Kent Sharman,

medical director. “It’s all part of driving further into activating patients in their own care,” Sharman said. He said he didn’t know how much the service cost, but the facility had been working on the infrastructure for the past eight years and would be reimbursed by the federal government. It was part

of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, he said, so pre-dated the Affordable Care Act. Sharman said patients don’t need to worry about their information getting into the wrong hands. “It’s identical to the banking industry,” he said. “You get your own username and password.” In the future, facilities likely would be linked together, so a doctor could access a patient’s records from anywhere. He said NBMC and Bay Area Hospital were working on possible breaches in security. The portal service began under different names at BAH and Coquille Valley Hospital. It soon will be in place at Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center. For now, patients must register separately at each location where they receive services, said Barbara Bauder, chief development officer

Bay Area Hospital's main web page has a link on the top for MyCare, an access site for your personal health information. for BAH. The facilities also hoped to include both inpatient and outpatient information, Sharman said, since it was “rolled out exclusively for outpatient.” BAH and NBMC officials reported the service was growing

in popularity with patients. “They’re actively registering and initiating for the service,” Sharman said. Reporter Emily Thornton can be reached at 541-269-1222,ext.249 or at emily.thornton@theworldlink.com or on Twitter: @EmilyK_Thornton.

Roosevelt elk BY GAIL ELBER For The World

Roosevelt elk are the largest elk in North America, found in the coastal forests of the Northwest. Because winters on the coast are mild and forage is abundant, Roosevelt elk don’t migrate the way other elk do. Those stay-athome habits enabled creation of the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area on Oregon Highway 38, 3 miles east of Reedsport. When the property was a ranch, a herd of Roosevelt elk competed with the cattle for grazing. Drivers would pull over to watch the elk, creating a traffic hazard. After the federal Bureau of Land Management acquired the property in 1991, a parking area and an interpretive display were created. Today, BLM manages vegetation to maintain good forage

for the elk herd, which can number 120 individuals. The 923-acre site is one of just two official Roosevelt elk-viewing areas in Oregon. With 4,200 vehicles a day passing this easily accessible area, it’s an opportunity for many people to learn about these animals and their place in the coastal ecosystem. Other South Coast elk contribute to the local economy in a different way. About 5,000 hunters a year pursue elk in the South Coast’s hunting units with bows and guns, with one out of four succeeding. Coos Bay is home to its own herd of elk. Between 40 and 100 animals are based in the forested Coos Bay/North Bend Water Board property, but they sometimes wander through residential neighborhoods to Mingus Park.

Obituaries Have you ever attended a funeral or read an obituary that described a person who has passed and you wonder if they were talking about some other individual? The name is familiar but those things written seem to be about someone else. There are reasons for what appears to be a discrepancy. The first of which is you may have not really known that person. Your associations with the individual provides limited knowledge of them. The description of the person may not be what you remember about them, but it does not make what is said false. Another reason is that when a family describes their loved one, they tend to point out the good things about them. Things such as “A loving father” or “A great mother and wife,” or even “A fine Christian individual who loved the Lord.” People will rarely point out their deceased loved one’s faults. Maybe that is as it should be. But what about your obituary? If you passed on, what would your loved ones and friends say about you? Would others recognize you from what is said? How is your life? Come worship with us Sunday.

SCCF seeking board memebers COOS BAY — The South Coast Community Foundation’s partial board of directors is looking for three more people to round out the decision-making body. SCCF is the educational component of the proposed overarching Community Enhancement Plan. The CEP was devised to handle the flood of community service fee payments Jordan Cove would make every year if it receives a long-term rural enterprise zone property tax exemption from the four Bay Area Enterprise Zone sponsors (the Oregon

International Port of Coos Bay, Coos County, and the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend). All four entities have signed on as members of SCCF, and each sent a representative to serve on the board. County Commissioner John Sweet, North Bend City Administrator Terence O’Connor, Port Commissioner Brianna Hanson and Coos Bay City Councilor Tom Leahy currently serve on the board. The letters should detail executive management

experience, skills and current or past community involvement. While the board will review the letters and recommend three names, their respective member entities will have the final say. SCCF expects a decision will be made in October. Letters of interest are due by 5 p.m. Sept. 29. Submissions can be mailed to South Coast Community Foundation c/o South Coast ESD, 1350 Teakwood Ave., Coos Bay, OR 97420, faxed to 541-266-3942, or emailed to kathleenm@scesd.k12.or.us.

Company penalized by DEQ LANGLOIS — The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has penalized a Langlois company for underground storage tank violations. Van Wormer Service LLC was fined $3,053 for underground storage tank violations at the company’s facility, 94244 Kerber Dr. DEQ found three viola-

tions during an April inspection: release detection methods were not followed, spill buckets contained water and possibly petroleum, and the tank system didn’t have an overflow alarm. Leaking underground storage tanks can contaminate groundwater, in turn putting human health and the environment at risk,

according to the DEQ. DEQ also ordered Van Wormer to correct the violations and bring the tank system into compliance by Sept. 15. Van Wormer could alternatively choose to apply to decommission the tanks. DEQ also offered to reduce the penalty if Van Wormer completes a project that benefits the environment.

Like a lot of American towns in the Rust Belt, it had fallen on hard times when the U.S. Steel industry declined in the 1980s. The town bumped along that way for years, barely surviving. Folks there knew it was election season when the roads and sewage systems that had been neglected suddenly started getting fixed. Pretty much a status quo situation that everyone just shrugged their shoulders at. About 10 years ago, a young lawyer who’d sat on the city council took a run at

Our view We can learn a lot from other communities that have turned their fortunes around. unseating the incumbent mayor. He won, and since Jon Costas has been running Valparaiso, the city has slowly turned itself around. First, he attended to the basics, not waiting for the next election season. He spent the first two years of his administration fixing roads and getting the buses to run on time. In a bold move, he convinced the city council to start a bus service to Chicago. Why bus residents out of town? To make it easier for folks who worked

there to bring their paychecks back home to Valpo. Then, Mayor Costas turned his attention to the downtown. With a combination of various funding sources the city bought a downtown eyesore — a parking lot and abandoned building. The city tore the building down and turned the acreage into a city center, with shops and restaurants and an amphitheater. Another idea — the city was able to get the state legislature to create and issue a new kind of limited liquor license, restricted to the historic downtown, to encourage more restaurants to move in. As we said, this all started 10 years ago. And no one

would say everything’s now perfect in the former steel mill town. But the city’s development director, Patrick Lyp, says that other towns call him all the time to ask what the secret was. For one thing, Lyp tells them, get the basics right. Build the city’s infrastructure and follow through on what you promise the residents. That starts building trust. Get a great grant writer. Federal and state grants abound, but you have to know where and how to look for them. A great grant writer is worth his or her weight in gold. Practice the art of politics. Land condemnation and

eminent domain are available, but they should be tools of last resort. Most important — have a vision. Not just a plan, but a vision. Vision is one of the qualities of leadership. Vision is what separates leaders from able administrators. By now you get where we’re going with this. If your reaction is: “We’re not Valparaiso; Things are different here; We can’t do the same thing;” well, you’d be right. But you’d be missing the point. We can take care of infrastructure. We can find other funding sources. We can find vision. We can do all that — if we have the right leadership.

Letters to the Editor

Shake,rattle and roll Word last week was that the head of the Oregon Senate will propose big increases in state grants to improve schools that might collapse when the big quake hits. A 2007 study cited more than 1,000 schools that could fall in, and said fixing all the schools could cost almost $10 billion. This, after lawmakers were considering spending $250 million for seismic upgrades to the state Capitol. Glad they finally remembered the kids, too.

Test scores, schmest scores The latest attempt by education wonks to make us feel dumb is the recent report that Oregon high school seniors score just OK, but still aren’t ready for college. The ACT of annual Condition and Career College Readiness came out this week. Oregon’s ACT average was barely above the national average. This comes on top of Common Core State Standards, which state officials say will result in even lower assessment results. Hey, kids; take this with a grain of salt.

Twice the fun Something for everyone this weekend. Either head to Winchester Bay and see cool classic autos at the 22nd annual Kool Coastal Nights car show, or wander downtown Coos Bay for the 31st annual Blackberry Arts Festival with food, crafts and music.

FOCCAS there for vets and pets While The World's Aug. 16 coverage of the recent Veterans Stand Down was appreciated, an important contributor to the event was not mentioned — Friends of Coos County Animals (FOCCAS). FOCCAS volunteers were at a booth outside the Armory offering dog sitting for veterans' pets while the vets went inside to obtain services (no pets allowed inside the Armory). In addition to providing doggy care for two dogs during the event, FOCCAS volunteers distributed the following pet care products and services to veterans: n Eight spay/neuter vouchers. n Sixty-six packs of flea treatment. n Two pallets of cat and dog food, generously donated by

Currydale Farms in Bandon and Coos Grange. (FOCCAS volunteers rented a U-Haul to pick up the donated food!) Participation in the Veterans Stand Down is just one of many valuable services FOCCAS provides to pets and their families in our community. Thank you, Friends of Coos County Animals.

Tests not end-all in education Thank you for the editorial: “Testing our patience with tests.” It is the responsibility of parents, teachers and administrators to make sure that students not see themselves as failures because they can’t get a certain number on a test! More important than a set of numbers for success is how

they feel about themselves! Is this part being forgotten by administrators as they push for better numbers for their schools? Students need tools to deal with bullying, self-esteem and home issues such as alcoholism, etc., in their homes! To these students, numbers on tests are not the most important thing. They are doing the best they can with what they have in their “toolboxes.” Make sure kids feel self-worth in the midst of being seen as failures on “tests.” Dianne Harrison Coos Bay

Let Congress vote on Iraq war III Last week, we were told there were 40,000 Yazidis on Sinjar Mountain facing starvation if they remained there, and slaughter by ISIS if they came down. But a team of Marines and Special Forces that helicoptered in has reported back that, with a corridor off the mountain opened up by U.S. air strikes, the humanitarian crisis is over. The few thousand who remain can be airdropped food and water. The rest can be brought out. The emergency over, President Obama should think long and hard about launching a new air war in Iraq or Syria. For Iraq War III holds the promise of becoming another Middle East debacle, and perhaps the worst yet. America would be entering this war utterly divided. We are not even agreed on who the enemies are. Hillary Clinton thinks we should be tougher on Iran and that Obama blundered by not aiding the Syrian rebels when they first rose up to overthrow President Bashar Assad. Ryan diplomats Veteran Crocker, William Luers and Thomas Pickering argue that Assad is not the real enemy. The Islamic State is, and we should consider a ceasefire between the Free Syrian Army and Assad. “It makes no sense for the West to support a war against Assad as well as a war against the Islamic

State,” they write, “Assad is evil but ... he is certainly the lesser evil.” CrockerLuers-Pickering also argue that the crisis calls for the United PAT States to accept BUCHANAN the nuclear deal with Iran that Columnist was on the table in July and work with Tehran against ISIS. Iranians and Americans are already rushing weapons to the Kurds, who have sustained a string of defeats at the hands of the Islamic State. “A new strategic relationship between the United States and Iran may seem impossible and risky,” the diplomats write, “yet it is also necessary and in the interests of both.While an alliance is out of the question, mutually informed parallel action is necessary.” If we could work with the monster Stalin to defeat Hitler, is colluding with the Ayatollah beyond the pale? Other arguments shout out against a new American war. How could we win such a war without the U.S. ground troops Obama pledged never to send, and the American people do not want sent? Air power may keep ISIS from

overrunning Irbil and Baghdad, but carrier-based air cannot reconquer the vast territory the Islamic State has occupied in Iraq. Nor can it defeat ISIS in Syria. If Obama did launch an air war on ISIS in Syria, our de facto ally and principal beneficiary of those strikes would be the same Syrian regime that Obama and John Kerry wanted to bomb a year ago, until the American people told them no and Congress refused to vote them the authority. For such reasons,the demand of Sens. Tim Kaine and Rand Paul — that before Obama takes us back to war in Iraq, or into a new war in Syria, Congress must debate and authorize this war — is a constitutional and political imperative. The questions Congress needs to answer are obvious and numerous. Who exactly is our enemy? ISIS only, or Assad, Hezbollah and Iran as well? Will our involvement be restricted to air power — fighterbombers, gunships, cruise missiles, drones? Or should the president be authorized to send U.S. ground troops to fight? If we are to be restricted to air power, is it to be confined to Iraq, or can it be used in Syria — and against Assad as well as ISIS? If U.S. combat troops cannot be used, what are the prospects of expelling ISIS from Iraq? And if we should drive them out, what is the

probability they will come back as soon as we leave, especially if we have left them in control of northern Syria? Is annihilation of ISIS the only permanent solution? How long and bloody a war would that require? Will the president be authorized to coordinate war planning with Tehran? And if Assad is to become our de facto ally, should we end our support for the Free Syrian Army and negotiate an armistice and amnesty for the FSA? Congress must be forced to debate and vote on this war, first, so we can hold them accountable for what is to come. Second, so we can force them to come to consensus on just what kind of outcome in this region is acceptable, and attainable, and at what cost. What will victory look like? What will be the cost in blood and treasure? How long are we prepared to fight this war, an end to which does not today seem to be anywhere in sight? How reasonable is it to expect that the Kurdish peshmerga and an Iraqi Army that fled Kirkuk, Fallujah and Mosul, will be able to recapture the Sunni regions of Iraq? Finally, why is this our fight, 6,000 miles away, and not theirs?

Obituaries and State Girl suspects her grandpa has become a dirty old man DEAR ABBY: I am a 12year-old girl, and my grandpa is 75. I love him very much, but I have noticed lately that he stares at women’s breasts when they are jogging, and he smiles when a gust of wind blows a girl’s skirt up. This embarrasses me, and I am embarrassed for him. He must have realized it by now. Is my grandpa a creepy, dirty old man? I hope it’s not true. Please answer this in the newsp a p e r DEAR because I don’t want my family to see it. — CARRIE IN CLEVELAND D E A R CARRIE: I’m sorry, but the fact JEANNE that your PHILLIPS grandfather would be so unsubtle as to act this way when you’re with him IS creepy, and I’m sure it is embarrassing. Tell your parents about it so your mother or father can tell him to tone down his “enthusiasm.” And if it doesn’t happen, spend less time with Grandpa. DEAR ABBY: My fiancee, “Caitlyn,” and I are in our 40s and have been living together for a year. My family has invited us to go on a cruise for New Year’s, all expenses paid. Because Caitlyn can’t get time off from her job at the hospital, she doesn’t want me to go, either. Also, in the fall I will be traveling to Europe with my dad to visit relatives. (He’s 80.) These trips don’t happen all the time; it’s an unusual year. Should I refuse the cruise and miss out on being with my extended family to stay home with her while she works? I think Caitlyn’s being selfish to expect me to. We spend all our free time together. We have been to Las Vegas and on a cruise recently. Please advise. — HELD BACK IN OHIO DEAR HELD BACK: You and Caitlyn are adults in your 40s. At that age, Caitlyn should be independent enough to tell you to go and have a good time with your family. And you should be mature enough to discuss this with her without involving me. DEAR ABBY: My sister loaned me her car when she went out of town so I could drop her at the airport and pick her up. (I don’t have a car of my own, but share one with my husband.) While I was driving her car, one of the tires blew. She says I should pay for the replacement tire because I was driving the car on an errand that was unrelated to picking her up when the tire blew. I disagree. Who is right? — JENNIFER IN FLORIDA DEAR JENNIFER: If the agreement between you and your sister was that her car was to be used only to take her to the airport and pick her up, then you owe her a new tire. However, if her tires were so worn that they could cause an accident, then she should replace her own tire — and the other three as well.

Woman set fire to give friends work PORTLAND (AP) — A woman is to be sentenced next month for setting a wildfire on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in central Oregon because her firefighter friends were bored and needed work. The U.S. Justice Department said Friday that 23-year-old Sadie Renee Johnson of Warm Springs pleaded guilty in May to one count of starting brush and timber on fire, and is to be sentenced Sept. 3. She was riding in a car with two little brothers in July, 2013, and lit a small firework and threw it out the window, where it ignited brush, court records say. Johnson was arrested days after posting on Facebook, “Like my fire?” The fire spread to about 80 square miles and cost nearly $8 million to put out. She told investigators she never thought the fire would get so big, court records say. Sentencing is set for Sept. 3. Prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed to a recommendation that Johnson spend 18 months in prison, followed by 180 days of alcohol and drug treatment. The maximum sentence is five years in prison, plus a $250,000 fine. The Justice Department said it released details of the case Friday, while the wildfire season is underway, to underscore the danger of such reckless actions, TKTVZ-TV reported.

Judge blocks challenge to gun ban PORTLAND (AP) — A Multnomah County Circuit Court judge has ruled that residents who challenged the county’s gun control ordinance have no legal grounds to sue. Judge Kathleen Dailey said Thursday the five plaintiffs were in no danger of arrest. The Oregonian reports the ruling is a victory for the county but leaves the constitutionality of the ordinance up for debate. The ordinance approved in April of last year makes it illegal to possess a loaded gun in public in the county, with a few exceptions for hunters, law enforcement and people with a permit to carry a concealed handgun.

Agency to release extra water for salmon GRANTS PASS — A federal agency says it will release more cool, clean water into Northern California’s Klamath River to prevent a repeat of a 2002 fish kill that left tens of thousands of adult salmon dead. U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Regional Director David Murrillo said Friday the drought has produced low and warm water conditions very similar to those in 2002. Murrillo said the agency recognizes how valuable each drop of water is during the drought, but the conditions pose a threat to fall Chinook that have

Oregon sues Oracle over failed website SALEM (AP) — The state of Oregon filed a lawsuit Friday against Oracle America Inc. and several of its executives over the technology company’s role in creating the troubled website for the state’s online health insurance exchange. The lawsuit, filed in Marion County Circuit Court in Salem, alleges that Oracle officials lied, breached contracts and engaged in “a pattern of racketeering activity.” Oracle was the largest technology contractor working on Oregon’s health insurance enrollment website, known as Cover Oregon. The public website was never launched, forcing the state to hire hundreds of workers to process paper applications by hand. The website’s failure became a political problem to Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber, who is running for re-election. A related project to modernize functions for social services also was

been entering the lower Klamath River in Northern California earlier than normal to spawn. The extra water will begin being released on Saturday and continue to the middle of September. Indian tribes have been pressing the bureau to change its July decision to hold off on extra releases.

Jumbo ship, dock parts on Columbia River PORTLAND (AP) — A jumbo shipment is headed up the Columbia River this weekend. A Dutch heavy-left vessel named Blue Marlin will be

carrying a load of Chinesebuilt parts for a dry dock expected to be assembled this fall in Portland. Vigor Industrial says the Blue Marlin is 738 feet long, and the three dock pieces will be more than 960 feet long when assembled. The Oregonian reports that the dry dock is for repairing big vessels such as cruise ships. The shipment is expected to cross the Columbia bar Sunday morning and arrive at Swan Island Monday. Vigor Industrial says people along the river can get current information on its progress from the company

Twitter feed. The company is asking boaters to keep their distance to ensure safety.

Police: Man died after fight outside 7-Eleven EUGENE (AP) — Eugene police say a 23-year-old man who died Wednesday after being found unconscious in a downtown alley had been in a fight earlier that morning. Spokeswoman Melinda McLaughlin said Friday that investigators determined that Dean Eric Sweeden was in an altercation between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. near the 7-Eleven at 7th Avenue and Jefferson Street.

The state paid Oracle $240 million for both projects. “Today’s lawsuit clearly explains how egregiously Oracle has disserved Oregonians and our state agencies,” Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, a Democrat, said in a statement. In addition to the company, the state’s lawsuit individually names six executives, including Oracle Corp. President and Chief Financial Officer Safra Catz, and Mythics Inc., which acted as a middleman between Oracle and the state in early stages of the project. The state is seeking damages as high as $240 million and penalties as high as $480 million for each allegation of wrongdoing. In a statement, Oracle called the lawsuit “a desperate attempt to deflect blame from Cover Oregon and the governor for their failures to manage a complex IT project.”

Washington New birth control fixes for religious groups WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to quell a politically charged controversy, the Obama administration announced new measures Friday to allow religious nonprofits and some companies to opt out of paying for birth control for female employees while still ensuring those employees have access to contraception. Even so, the accommodations may not fully satisfy religious groups who oppose any system that makes them

complicit in providing coverage they believe is immoral. Effective immediately, the U.S. will start allowing faithaffiliated charities, colleges and hospitals to notify the government — rather than their insurers — that they object to birth control on religious grounds. A previous accommodation offered by the Obama administration allowed those nonprofits to avoid paying for birth control by

sending their insurers a document called Form 700, which transfers responsibility for paying for birth control from the employer to the insurer. But Roman Catholic bishops and other religious plaintiffs argued just submitting that form was like signing a permission slip to engage in evil. In a related move, the administration announced plans to allow for-profit corThe Associated Press porations like Hobby Lobby Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications and Inc. to start using Form 700.

Friday in Edgartown, Mass., on the island of Martha's Vineyard. Rhodes spoke on issues concerning the situation in Iraq and Ukraine.

US won’t let borders hamper fight vs. extremists WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior White House official raised the possibility Friday of a broader American military campaign that targets an Islamic extremist group’s bases in Syria, saying the U.S would take whatever action is necessary to protect national security. “We’re not going to be restricted by borders,” said Ben Rhodes, President Barack Obama’s deputy national security adviser. The White House said the president has received no military options beyond those he authorized earlier this month for limited airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Iraq and military aid to Iraqi and Kurdish forces. Thus far, the United States has avoided military involvement in Syria’s threeyear civil war. But faced with the Islamic State making gains across the region and the beheading of an American journalist, the administration’s resistance may be weakening. Rhodes spoke a day after Obama’s top military adviser warned the extremists cannot be defeated without “addressing” their sanctuary in Syria. Many prominent and some Republicans Democrats have called on

Obama to hit back harder at the Islamic State militants. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a prospective 2016 presidential candidate, said in an interview Friday that attacking their supply lines, command and control centers and economic assets inside Syria “is at the crux of the decision” for Obama. The risk of “getting sucked into a new war” is outweighed, he said, by the risk of inaction. To hit back at the group, Obama has stressed military assistance to Iraq and efforts to create a new, inclusive government in Baghdad that can persuade Sunnis to leave the insurgency. He also has sought to frame the Islamic State threat in terms that convince other countries — not just in the Mideast but also in Europe — of the need to create a broad coalition against the extremists. In an op-ed for The Washington Post, Vice President Joe Biden said the U.S. was prepared to help Iraq pursue a federal system that would decentralize power away from Baghdad. While saying that Iraq is making progress in forming a new government, Biden warned that sectarian divisions were fueling extremist movements like the Islamic State.

Hackers hit up to 25,000 fed workers WASHINGTON (AP) — The internal records of as many as 25,000 Homeland Security Department employees were exposed during a recent computer break-in at a federal contractor that handles security clearances, an agency official said Friday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details of an incident that is under active federal criminal investigation, said the number of victims could be greater. The department was informing employees whose files were exposed in the hacking against contractor USIS and warning them to monitor their financial accounts. Earlier this month, USIS acknowledged the break-in, saying its internal cybersecurity team had detected what appeared to be an intrusion with “all the markings of a state-sponsored attack.” Neither USIS nor government officials have speculated on the identity of the foreign government. A USIS spokeswoman reached Friday declined to comment on the DHS notifications. USIS, once known as U.S. Investigations Services, has been under fire in Congress in recent months for its performance in conducting background checks on National Security Agency systems analyst Edward Snowden and on Aaron Alexis, a military contractor employee who killed 12 people during shootings at the Navy Yard in Washington in September 2013. Private contractors perform background checks on more than two-thirds of the 4.9 million government workers with security clearances, and USIS handles nearly half of that number. Many of those investigations are performed under contracts with the Office of Personnel Management, and the Homeland Security and Defense departments.

Nation NATIONAL What happens in Ferguson if no charges? D I G E S T

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Conditions calmed this week in Ferguson after nights of sometimes violent unrest stemming from the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police officer. But a delicate and crucial question lingers: What happens if the grand jury now considering the case doesn’t return a charge against the officer? The fear among some local residents and officials trying to maintain peace in Ferguson is that failure to charge the officer could stoke new anger among a community profoundly mistrustful of the legal system. Many say they just hope the grand jury’s decision, whatever it is, has irrefutable facts to back it up. U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill told The Associated Press she’s pushing for federal and local investigations to be completed around the same time so that all evidence in the case can be made public — a step many consider important should prosecutors decide not to charge the officer. Her office said Friday that the Department of Justice hasn’t given a timeline for the federal investigation, which centers on whether a civil rights violation occurred when officer Darren Wilson fatally shot the unarmed Michael Brown Aug. 9. McCaskill, a former prosecutor in Missouri, said she’s hopeful the physical evidence in the case — including blood spatter patterns, clothing and shell casings — will provide “incontrovertible facts” about what happened during the shooting. She said whatever local prosecutors decide, it will be important to explain the decision by providing that

Artist says river project at a standstill CANON CITY, Colo. (AP) — The artist Christo says his plan to suspend nearly 6 miles of silvery fabric in sections over the Arkansas River is in a “stand-still situation.” The 79-year-old artist updated supporters on his “Over the River” project during a luncheon in Canon City, Colo., on Thursday. The Daily Record reports his visit also included a rafting trip down the Arkansas. Christo and his late wife Jeanne-Claude began scouting for a location for the temporary installation in the 1990s. After visiting 89 rivers in seven states, they chose the Arkansas River between Salida and Canon City.

Object turns out to be Star Wars toy JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Call Luke Skywalker for backup. Police in Juneau took a call Tuesday to check out a suspicious device spotted on the side of a road. The Juneau Empire reports the first officer on the scene wasn’t sure what to make of the object. A dispatcher sent out a second officer with expertise in bombs. Wise in the ways of Star Wars toys was he. The second officer determined that the device was a plastic light saber toy taped to a stick. The laser swords were the preferred weapons of Jedi knights.

50,000 bees living in NYC ceiling

The Associated Press

In this photo taken Thursday, Theo Murphy, left, of Florissant, Mo., and his brother Jordan Marshall, 11, light candles at a memorial on Canfield Drive in Ferguson, Mo., where where unarmed Michael Brown was fatally shot by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. A small group of people, who preferred to remain anonymous,laid roses along the middle of the road that stretched about 60 yards. physical evidence, and that won’t be possible if the federal investigation is ongoing. McCaskill said she urged Attorney General Eric Holder during a meeting earlier this week to speed up what is typically a lengthier federal process. “What we want to avoid is a decision being made without all the information being available to the public also,” McCaskill said, adding that not being able to do so could “create more stress and certainly much more fear that we would be back to worrying about people being able to protest safely.” “Obviously all of us are concerned not just about that this process be fair, but what does this next six months look like?” she said. Gov. Jay Nixon, in an

interview Friday with The Associated Press, didn’t say if he agreed with McCaskill’s call to conclude both investigations at the same time. He said the full focus is on seeking justice. “To me it’s one you’ve got to get right. Just got to get it right,” he said. Many residents who live in the Ferguson, eager to end the disruptions to their lives caused by protests and police presence, say they fear the community’s anger will explode anew if Wilson isn’t charged. “This officer has to be indicted. I’d hate to see what happens if he isn’t. The rioting, the looting, man ...,” said resident Larry Loveless, 29, as he stopped at the memorial for Brown where he was killed.

Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who has been in charge of keeping watch over the protests in Ferguson, declined to say whether he is concerned about the potential response should no indictment be returned. “I really don’t deal in what ifs,” Johnson said. “If I were going to put negative what ifs on this community, that’s not fair, and it becomes a matter of pre-judging.” St. Louis County prosecutors this week convened a grand jury to begin hearing evidence in the case, despite concerns among some in the community — including Brown’s parents — that the office would not be impartial because of District Attorney Bob McCulloch’s ties to law enforcement.

Parole denied yet again for John Lennon’s killer

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City woman had some unexpected roommates living in her apartment: 50,000 bees. WABC-TV reports beekeepers removed the swarm from Frieda Turkmenilli’s ceiling this week after her neighbors in Queens alerted the building manager. Turkmenilli says she saw only a few bees buzzing around over the last few weeks and never realized how many had taken up residence right above her head. The beekeepers say the bees and the 17 honeycombs they built are headed to an upstate farm.

NEW YORK (AP) — John Lennon’s killer was denied release from prison in his eighth appearance before a parole board, correction officials said Friday. The decision on Mark David Chapman by a threemember board came after a hearing Wednesday, the of Department state Corrections said. Chapman fired five shots on Dec. 8, 1980, outside the Dakota apartment house where Lennon lived on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, hitting the ex-Beatle four times in front of his wife, Yoko Ono, and others. He was sentenced in 1981 to

20 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to seconddegree murder. An attorney for Ono said Friday that she had no immediate comment. The panel wrote to the 59year-old Chapman that it concluded that if released,

“you would not live and remain at liberty without again violating the law.” It added: “This victim had displayed kindness to you earlier in the day, and your actions have devastated a family and those who loved the victim.”

At his previous hearing in 2012, Chapman described how Lennon had agreed to autograph an album cover for him earlier on the day of the killing. “He was very kind to me,” he said.

Job market makes Fed hesitant on rate hike JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming (AP) — If anyone thought Janet Yellen might clarify her view of the U.S. job market in her speech here Friday, the Federal Reserve chair had a message: The picture is still hazy. Though the unemployment rate has steadily dropped, Yellen suggested that other gauges of the job market have become harder to assess and may reflect persistent weakness. These include many people jobless for more than six months, millions working part time who want full-time jobs and weak pay growth. Yellen offered no clarity on the timing of the first interest rate increase, which most economists still expect by mid-2015. Investors had been anticipating any firmer sign from Yellen about whether an improving economy might prompt the Fed to act sooner than expected to start raising rates. She instead offered further uncertainty. Damage inflicted by the Great Recession had complicated the Fed’s ability to assess the U.S. job market and made it harder to determine when to adjust rates, Yellen said. “Uncertainty is the key word,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Economics. “Yellen is not about to leap from the fence at the next (Fed) meeting.” Yellen said that for now, a broad assessment of the job market suggests that the economy still needs Fed support in the form of ultra-low rates and that inflation has yet to become a concern. “The assessment of labor market slack is rarely simple and has been especially challenging recently,” Yellen said at the conference, which the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City sponsors each year at a lodge beside the majestic Grand Tetons.

NOTES Notebook found inside vehicle Continued from Page A1 to the killings. Zachary, who was unemployed at the time,had told his parents, Ray and Patricia, that he had decided to move to Alaska. The trips that the family had taken to the Powers area Sunday, and Middle Creek on Monday, were part of a sending off celebration with Zachary. Patricia Brimhall has told authorities that everything was fine between her son and his father, and nothing had changed during these trips. Both men were the owners of several firearms. Zachary had, in fact, collected several firearms and a considerable amount of ammunition. Frasier notes that Zachary Brimhall had no criminal record and held a concealed handgun license from the Douglas County sheriff. “At this point, outside of the mother’s opinion that Zachary was at times depressed, there appears to be no evidence that (he) was ever diagnosed with any form of mental disorder or disease.” As he prepared to leave for Alaska, he told his parents that he could not take all of the ammunition accumulated with him. So, the family outings were designed to include target practice for father and son to use up as much as possible before he left. During the Powers trip, Patricia indicated that her son had brought along an old laptop computer. It was one that he indicated he did not want to take with him, but he also didn’t want anyone to be able to access information from it. It was used as a target instead, and shot several times. Investigators later recovered that computer and tried, unsuccessfully, to get information off its hard drive. They continued target shooting in the Middle Creek area of Coos County the next day. When the parents left, Zachary stayed behind to camp. Again, with no apparent indication of any ill will towards the family. Later that night, around 8:45 p.m., he called to say his car broke down and his father agreed to drive back to help him out. If he left right away, he would have arrived about 10 p.m. “For reasons unknown, Zachary murdered his father,” Frasier writes. “Ray Brimhall was shot multiple times in the chest and probably twice in the head.” Forensic evidence suggests that he was shot outside of his

vehicle, likely soon after he arrived. Zachary then took his tent and placed it over his father’s body, hiding it from view. Zachary Brimhall then drove his own vehicle, which was not broken down, over to Bastendorff Beach. The first 911 call of shots fired came in at 1:06 a.m.

Troubling picture Investigators found the small notebook in the vehicle at daybreak. Soon after finding the notes, they found the small explosive’s, called “seal bombs,” and other bomb making material. Oregon State Police Bomb Squad teams responded from Salem and Medford, as investigators pulled back for safety. As to the notes themselves, Frasier stated that neither one was dated. In the first note, Brimhall claims that he has always been mentally ill. It starts by claiming he “originally had about 50 pages typed up explaining how I got to this point and why I chose to do this. I decided to delete it though, because the reasons I decided to end my life are irrelevant. The only thing that is relevant, however, is that I’m mentally ill, and have been my entire life.” He then apologizes for the heart ache he has caused, but then says he honestly doesn’t care and that he will soon be free of his “suffering.” “I reached a point where it was either kill myself, or kill a bunch of other people first, and then kill myself. I chose the latter,” he writes. Then signs off by writing “I wish I could have done it sooner, and that I could take more people me with me (sic). See you in hell.” The second note acknowledges, in a chilling matter of fact style, that he just killed his father and he would kill others before committing suicide. But, he also expressed a profound concern over how this would affect his mother. He starts the second note by writing that he had just killed his father, and wishes he could go back in time and just drive off a cliff instead, to make it easier on his parents. But, then the cold, unfeeling Zachary returns in the next line. “I can’t go back in time though. My life ended as soon as I fired the first round. This is not what I wanted. Unfortunately, there’s no reason not to try and kill at least a few more people before I shoot myself.” He then asks for someone to take care of his mother, noting that his sister had already died in 2008 and his grandmother died earlier this year. He also notes that his

Mom says shooter was ‘at times depressed’ BY EMILY THORNTON The World

Zachary Levi Brimhall, 32, was “a normal child and adult,” but was a “private person with very little, if any, friends” according to his mother, Patricia Brimhall. The mother’s words were Photos courtesy of the Coos County District Attorney included in a press release The man in this van survived despite several bullets being shot into the from the Coos County District Attorney’s Office released vehicle. Below, a map of the crime scene at Bastendorff Beach. Friday. District Attorney Paul Frasier’s final account lays out details of the crime and reveals handwritten notes Brimhall left behind. Patricia Brimhall told investigators that her son was “at times depressed,” but “that he was not under the care of a doctor, or of a mental health professional,” and “had never been prescribed or taken any form of medication for mental health issues.” He was also thought to not have a girlfriend, or any drug or alcohol issues. Zachary Brimhall had served in the military, accord-

mom is in ill health. “She can’t drive most of the time, and I can’t imagine how awful my actions today will be for her. Please try and find a caregiver or someone to help.” Those appear to be his final words of record.

Weapons of destruction Frasier says a total of 10 firearms were found in the vehicle, all of which were legal to possess and own. Not all were used in Zachary’s final fury. The list of weapons included a 12 gauge shotgun, found on Bastendorff Beach road, which was used to shoot the first vehicle, a blue van. A Romanian AK-SAR-1, 7.62 caliber semi-automatic rifle is believed to be the weapon that killed David Hortman. The Walker, Mich., man was the only one Brimhall killed at Bastendorff Beach. There were three 9 millimeter semi-automatic handguns that he may have used to kill his father. He may have also used a Smith and Wesson .44 magnum revolver to commit suicide. There was also plenty of ammunition still available to Zachary Brimhall, as investigators uncovered more than 1,000 rounds of different calibers still in his vehicle. All were legal to possess.

Why? The District Attorney concludes with the sad truth that, while the notes appear to show his state of mind they do not indicate what pushed him over the edge. Toxicology test results will not be available for several weeks. Frasier says some things can be determined in the preliminary investigation. One, due to the number of times he was shot, it appears that Zachary was angry at his father for some reason. Second, Zachary suffered some sort of undiagnosed mental illness that led him to plot his suicide over several days. Much of what he told his parents, including a move to Alaska, was a ruse. Finally, he says, there is no doubt that Zachary Brimhall acted alone. Again, people are left to ponder why, but the district attorney cautions that likely will remain a mystery. “The notes left behind do not explain his motivation,” Frasier writes.“We have found no one at this point to whom Zachary confided what he was going to do and why. With his computer hard drive destroyed, there is no way to know why Zachary Brimhall wanted to kill his father, kill other people or to kill himself.”

ing to a document on file at the Douglas County Clerk’s Office; however, which branch and other details were undisclosed. He also worked for Roseburg Forest Products in Dillard from January 2003 to February 2003. He was unemployed at the time of the homicide/suicide, according to the press release, but he had said he was going to move to Alaska on Aug. 19 or 20. He had moved into his parent’s home and had boxed up most of his belongings in preparation for the move. Patricia Brimhall said in the release that “there were no issues” within the family and didn’t know “why Zachary would want to kill his father, or for that matter, any other person.” She also said she was unaware Zachary was suicidal. The release also said Zachary had no criminal record and held a valid concealed handgun license from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

US housing recovery appears back on track WASHINGTON (AP) — A fourth straight monthly increase in sales of existing homes provided the latest evidence Thursday that the U.S. housing market is rebounding from a weak start to the year. Housing has been a drag on an otherwise strengthening economy, in part because a harsh winter delayed many sales. But Americans are stepping up purchases as more homes have been put up for sale. And low mortgage rates and moderating price gains have made homes more affordable. “The momentum is in the right direction,” said Andrew Labelle, an economist at TD Bank who noted that the past four months have marked the fastest four-month sales gain since 2011. “Sustained jobs gains, as well as the fall in mortgage rates since the beginning of the year, appear to have unleashed at least some pent-up demand.” Sales of existing homes rose 2.4 percent in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.15 million, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. That was the highest annual rate since September of last year. The increase follows other encouraging signs that the

housing market is improving. The pace of home construction starts surged 15.7 percent in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.1 million homes, the government said this week. Applications for building permits, a gauge of future activity, also strengthened last month. And a survey of homebuilders released Monday showed that they were more confident about future sales. The encouraging readings contrast with reports earlier this year, when weak sales and limited building led economists to characterize housing as a faltering piece of the economic recovery. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer had pointed to housing as an economic weak spot. Economists noted that housing still hasn’t fully recovered from its slowdown earlier this year. The annual sales pace remains 4.3 percent below last July’s rate. And construction has merely returned to its pace in October; it has yet to exceed it. Yet economists say they’re encouraged by signs that the latest sales gains are sustainable.

WORLD D I G E S T Costa Rica to investigate program SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — The Costa Rican government will investigate undercover U.S. programs operated from the Central American country and using its citizens in a ploy to destabilize the government in Cuba, the director of intelligence and security said Friday. Mariano Figueres told The Associated Press that the new administration, which took office May 8, has found no records or information from their predecessors about the U.S. Agency for International Development project, which starting in 2009 sent young Venezuelans, Costa Ricans and Peruvians to Cuba in hopes of stirring opposition to the island’s communist government.

More than 191,000 killed in 3 years GENEVA (AP) — The death toll from three years of Syria’s civil war has risen to more than 191,000 people, the United Nations reported Friday. The figure, covering the period from March 2011 to April 2014, is the first issued by the U.N.’s human rights office since July 2013, when it documented more than 100,000 killed. The high death toll is a reflection of the brutality of Syria’s conflict, which has transformed into a complex, multi-layered war where various factions fight against each other.

Bodies returned as Malaysia battles fallout KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Carried by soldiers and draped in the national flag, coffins carrying Malaysian victims of Flight MH17 returned home Friday to a country still searching for those onboard another doomed jet and a government battling the political fallout of both tragedies. The bodies and ashes of 20 victims from the Malaysia Airlines jet that was shot down over eastern Ukraine in July were given full military honors and a day of national mourning was declared, the first for civilians in the country’s five-decade history. Many people in offices in the nation of 30 million observed a minute’s silence as the hearses were driven from the tarmac of Kuala Lumpur International Airport to private funerals. Some public trains in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, stopped operating.

India’s new leader faces backlash NEW DELHI (AP) — When Prime Minister Narendra Modi swept to power in India’s most resounding election victory in decades, he promised to revive the sluggish economy, rein in rising food prices, tackle corruption and overhaul his predecessor’s lackluster foreign policy. Many Indians, long accustomed to political stagnation, believed him. But in recent weeks, critics — and even many supporters — have started to accuse him of squandering his powerful mandate in this boisterous country of 1.3 billion people, where such overwhelming election victories are exceedingly rare. While acknowledging that Modi only took office in May, they say they see no change, just more of the same.

Airlines, cruise ships monitoring system KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Airlines and cruise ship companies are monitoring the progress of a tropical disturbance approaching the Lesser Antilles at the eastern end of the Caribbean. Forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said the system of low pressure had a 50 percent chance of developing into a tropical depression or possibly a tropical storm within 48 hours. Jennifer de la Cruz, a spokeswoman for Carnival Cruise Lines, said the Floridabased company has one ship that will have its itinerary slightly modified to steer clear of the system's predicted path. That ship, the Carnival Splendor,will drop a port call in the Turks and Caicos Islands and stop instead at Florida's Port Canaveral.

West condemns Russia over convoy to Ukraine Mexicans find new life at call centers LUHANSK, Ukraine (AP) — Tensions between Russia and Ukraine escalated sharply on Friday as Moscow sent more than 130 trucks rolling across the border in what it said was a mission to deliver humanitarian aid. Ukraine called it a “direct invasion,” and the U.S. and NATO condemned it as well. In another ominous turn in the crisis, NATO said it has mounting evidence that Russian troops are operating inside Ukraine and launching artillery attacks from Ukrainian soil — significantly deeper involvement in the fighting than the West has The Associated Press previously alleged.

Interpol seeks clues to Thai ‘baby factory’ BANGKOK (AP) — Interpol said it has launched a multinational investigation into what Thailand has dubbed the “Baby Factory” case: a 24Japanese year-old businessman who has 16 surrogate babies and an alleged desire to father hundreds more.

Police raided a Bangkok condominium earlier this month and found nine babies and nine nannies living in a few unfurnished rooms filled with baby bottles, bouncy chairs, play pens and diapers. They have since identified Mitsutoki Shigeta as the father of those babies — and seven

others. “What I can tell you so far is that I’ve never seen a case like this,” Thailand’s Interpol director, police Maj. Gen. Apichart Suribunya, said Friday. “We are trying to understand what kind of person makes this many babies.” Apichart said that region-

al Interpol offices in Japan, Cambodia, Hong Kong and India have been asked to probe Shigeta’s background, beginning last week. Police say he appears to have registered businesses or apartments in those countries and has frequently traveled there.

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Henry Monterroso is a foreigner in his own country. Raised in California from the age of 5, he was deported to Mexico in 2011 and found himself in a land he barely knew. But the 34-year-old Tijuana native feels right at home as soon as gets to work at Call Center Services International, where workers are greeted in English. Monterroso supervises five employees amid rows of small cubicles who spend eight hours a day dialing numbers across the United States to collect on credit card bills and other debts. He is among thousands of deported Mexicans who are finding refuge in call centers in Tijuana and other border cities. In perfect English — some hardly speak Spanish — they converse with American consumers who buy gadgets, have questions about warrantees or complain about overdue deliveries. At Monterroso’s office in one of Tijuana’s tallest buildings, managers bring meals from Taco Bell in nearby San Diego to reward employees because the fast-food chain has no outlets in Mexico. Workers are off for the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving but labor on Mexican holidays. “The end of your shift comes at 6 and you get hit by reality out there: You’re not in the U.S.,” Monterroso said above the din of buzzing phones.

World SCIENCE Continued from Page A1 oped, Oregon fifth-, eighthand 11th-graders will continue to take the science portion of the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) every spring. That exam lines up with the 2009 Oregon Science Content Standards. OAKS tests rely heavily on multiple choice questions, which Smarter Balanced tries to weed out. Instead, students will have to explain their answers in writing, requiring more analysis and critical thinking. “It’s too early” to speculate what a Next Generation-aligned assessment will look like, Greene said, but it will probably focus more on “constructed response,” too. “Because there are so many similarities between the previous Oregon science standards and the new standards,there’s a lot of overlap,” she said. “It’s hard to say” whether

Greene said. “There’s been a lot of confusion around what a standard is as opposed to what curriculum is.” Common Core and Next Generation dictate standards, not curriculum. But curriculum usually has to change to align lesson plans with new benchmarks. That means districts are spending thousands of dollars and countless hours poring through alreadyestablished curriculum and incorporating the standards. “I haven’t got a sense from anybody or heard that there will be any pushback, since (Next Generation) is pretty close to what we have,” said Chad Putman, Coos Bay schools coordinator of school improvement. “They’re just reorganized somewhat.” Incoming juniors and seniors will be able to take OAKS this spring — “which is what I would suggest,” Putman said — since the bulk of their high school career was based on Oregon’s old standards, not Common Core.

Two new Ebola cases in Nigeria ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Two alarming new cases of Ebola have emerged in Nigeria, widening the circle of people sickened beyond the immediate group of caregivers who treated a dying airline passenger in one of Africa’s largest cities. The outbreak also continues to spread elsewhere in West Africa, with 142 more cases recorded, bringing the new total to 2,615 with 1,427 deaths, the World Health Organization said Friday. Most of the new cases are in Liberia, where the government was delivering donated rice to a slum where 50,000 people have been sealed off from the rest of the capital in an attempt to contain the outbreak. New treatment centers in Liberia are being overwhelmed by patients that were not previously identified. One center with 20 beds opened its doors to 70 possibly infected people, likely coming from “shadow-zones” where people fearing authorities won’t let doctors enter, the U.N health agency said. “This phenomenon strongly suggests the existence of an invisible caseload of patients who are not being

detected by the surveillance system,” the agency said. This has “never before been seen in an Ebola outbreak.” The two new cases in Nigeria were infected by their spouses, both medical workers who had direct contact with Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, who flew into Nigeria from Liberia and Togo and infected 11 others before he died in July. The male and female caregivers also then died of Ebola, Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said Friday. Nigerian officials initially claimed the risk of exposure to others was minimal because Sawyer was whisked into isolation after arriving at the airport. Lagos state health commissioner Jide Idris later acknowledged that Sawyer was not immediately quarantined. The two new cases were quarantined two days ago while being tested, Chukwu said. They had previously been under surveillance, meaning they were contacted daily to see if they developed any symptoms, but their movements were not restricted. Once they showed signs of the disease, they were brought in.

Hamas kills 18 suspected informers to deter leaks GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza militants Friday gunned down 18 alleged spies for Israel in an apparent attempt to plug security breaches and deter others, a day after Israel killed three top Hamas military commanders in an airstrike likely guided by collaborators. In one incident, masked gunmen lined up seven men, their heads covered by bags, along a wall outside a Gaza City mosque and shot them to death in front of hundreds of people, witnesses said. A note pinned on the wall said they had leaked information about the location of tunnels, homes of fighters and

rockets that were later struck by Israel. In Israel, a 4-year-old boy was killed when a mortar shell hit two cars in the parking lot of Nahal Oz, a small farming community near Gaza. Five Israelis were hurt, one seriously, in several rocket strikes, the military said. One rocket damaged a synagogue. The child’s death was bound to raise pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from an increasingly impatient public to put an end to rocket and mortar fire from Gaza — something Israel’s military has been unable to do after 46 days.

Mariners rally to top Sox Seattle scores all five of its runs with two outs in the ninth ■

BOSTON (AP) — Down to their final strike, the Seattle Mariners put a dramatic end to more than three years of futility at Fenway Park. Austin Jackson hit a basesloaded double with two outs in the ninth inning and Dustin Ackley followed with a two-run, bloop single as the Mariners rallied to score five times and beat the Boston Red Sox 5-3 on Friday night. “The first three hours of that game we didn’t look very good,” Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said. “Then all of a sudden, with two outs, we turned it on. I can’t figure it out.” Red Sox closer Koji Uehara (54) held a 3-0 lead with two outs and a runner on first before the Mariners broke loose. Seattle ended a nine-game losing streak at Fenway that began in May 2011. The Mariners had managed only two hits through the first eight innings, then got five against Uehara in the ninth and extended Boston’s losing streak to six. Dominic Leone (6-2) pitched one inning of relief for the victory and Fernando Rodney got his 37th save. A night after being held to one hit in a 2-0 loss to the Angels, the Red Sox chased Seattle ace Felix Hernandez in the sixth inning after Yoenis Cespedes’ three-run homer. Hernandez was in line for the loss before the ninth-inning rally, which he said he watched from the clubhouse. “I didn’t even move. I did not move because I did not want to change anything,” Hernandez said. “It’s huge for us, man. We needed this one.” Boston starter Joe Kelly limited Seattle to one hit in five solid innings and three relievers preserved the shutout until Uehara’s collapse in the ninth. Uehara had an 0-2 count on Jackson, who drove the next pitch down the line in left to cut the lead to 3-2. Ackley was next and hit a blooper to shallow left just out of shortstop Brock Holt’s reach as he made a diving attempt. “I thought I was pretty close. He hit it kind of far up there. I was hoping I could get to it and end the game. Unfortunately it fell,” Holt said.

Serena Williams is the top seed for the U.S. Open as she pursues her 18th major title in the tournament that starts Monday.

Williams chases another U.S. Open NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams stopped hiding from history and started making more of it. Up until a couple of years ago, she practically plugged her ears at any mention of records or firsts. Now she says it out loud: Coming into the U.S. Open, her next goal is matching two tennis greats for the second-most major titles in the Open era with 18. “Obviously just getting closer to tying with Chris (Evert) and Martina (Navratilova),” she said. Then she added: “But been doing that all year and still hasn’t happened. Not going to stress out about it anymore.” Williams has been stuck on 17 since winning the U.S. Open a year ago. When she started working with coach Patrick Mouratoglou in mid-2012, he urged her to embrace the record chase. Williams went on to capture four of the next six Grand Slam titles, an Olympic gold medal and two straight WTA Championships in a scintillating 16-month run. But in the first three major tournaments of 2014, she didn’t even make the quarterfinals. Her

ranked player for 204 weeks in her career. The two previous times, she won the championship. Williams’ five titles in 2014 are the most on the WTA tour; nobody else has more than three. Over the last seven Grand Slam events, the five titles not won by Williams went to five different players, and two of them won’t be at Flushing Meadows: the retired Marion Bartoli and the injured Li Na. Five-time major champ Maria Sharapova makes by far the best case to fill the void, but she hasn’t looked that sharp since winning her second French Open title in June. Petra Kvitova is coming off her victory at Wimbledon, but she’s always struggled at Flushing Meadows — never even reaching the quarterfinals. After her first Wimbledon title in 2011, she promptly lost in the first round at the U.S. Open. And Victoria Azarenka, the runner-up to Williams the last two years, has been stymied by injuries all season. This state of affairs isn’t too uncommon on the women’s side

last appearance on the Grand Slam stage took a bizarre turn when an out-of-sorts Williams pulled out of a Wimbledon doubles match, blaming a viral illness. Evert, for one, figured she’d be looking up at Williams by now. Or that maybe Williams would be chasing Steffi Graf’s Open-era record of 22 major titles. Evert won her 18th and final major title at 31, the same age Williams was when she played at Flushing Meadows in 2013. Motivation gets harder with time because of the mental fatigue season after season. “You just are not as fresh,” Evert said. “Some days you just don’t want to get out of bed.” For all that, Williams still has to rate as the heavy favorite at Flushing Meadows when the year’s last major tournament starts Monday. She’s seeking to join Evert as the only women to win three straight titles here in the Open era, which began in 1968. Williams is seeded No. 1 in New York for just the third time, a surprisingly low number for someone who has been the world’s top-

in recent years. What’s unusual is that the men’s draw looks a bit similar. With Rafael Nadal unable to defend his title because of a wrist injury, the top players come in uncharacteristically shaky. After winning Wimbledon and getting married, top-seeded Novak Djokovic was, in his own words, “emotionally a little bit flat” in losing early in two hardcourt tournaments. “I was a bit slow, I have to say, to get into the competition mode,” Djokovic said. “It was a very unique five, six weeks that I had with the wedding and winning Wimbledon and getting back to No. 1 in the world. I couldn’t ask for more. I was extremely fulfilled and happy with where I am in my life.” Meanwhile, Andy Murray has yet to rediscover his championship form after back surgery. Perhaps this is 33-year-old Roger Federer’s last, best chance to win another major title. For more than two years, he’s been stuck on No. 17 — a number Williams is also all too familiar with.

Thorns begin NWSL title defense at Kansas City BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

In the space of about a week, a group of players from the U.S. team wrapped up the regular season with their National Women’s Soccer League teams, got together for an international friendly against Switzerland, and now face off in the NWSL playoffs. The country’s top players are maintaining a delicate balance between supporting the NWSL at home while gearing up for a busy two years that include the women’s World Cup in Canada next summer and the 2016 Rio Olympics. And it’s just the beginning of a schedule that’s guaranteed to become more challenging. The Portland Thorns play an NWSL semifinal match at FC Kansas City today, and the Seattle Reign host the Washington Spirit on Sunday. After the league championship on Aug. 31, the women on the U.S. team — as well as those from Mexico — will head off to train for World Cup qualifying. NWSL Executive Director Cheryl Bailey praised the profes-

sionalism and dedication of the national team players, who she said “love to play the game and want to be pushed to help raise the level of play with their club teams.” Among the 10 players on the recent whirlwind are Thorns forward Alex Morgan and teammate Allie Long, Seattle goalkeeper Hope Solo and teammates Megan Rapinoe, and Sydney Leroux, Kansas City defender Becky Sauerbrunn and teammates Amy Rodriguez and Lauren Holiday and Spirit defenders Crystal Dunn and Ali Krieger. Morgan missed the first part of the NWSL season because of an ankle injury, but her return sparked the defending champion Thorns, who advanced to the postseason with a 1-0 victory in the regular-season finale last Sunday against the Reign. Morgan scored the game-winner for Portland (10-8-6) in the 68th minute. The match against the Blues (12-7-5) is a rematch of last season’s semifinal, which the Thorns won 3-2 in extra time en route to the inaugural NWSL title.

GREAT BUY!

Kansas City had a longer break than the rest of the playoff teams, wrapping up its regular season on Aug. 9, but the Blues played five matches in two weeks to end the season. Coach Vlatko Andonovski didn’t expect fatigue to be a factor. “Portland is going to be in the same situation, too. All these players are used to playing Wednesday then Saturday games, or Wednesday-Sunday games,” Andonovski said in a conference call with reporters. “I don’t think anything is going to stop them from playing their best games.” The Reign, who had the league’s best regular-season record at 16-2-6, play the Spirit (10-9-5), the league’s mostimproved team after a last-place finish with just three total victories last season. The U.S. national team was widely criticized for scheduling the friendly against Switzerland the same week as the NWSL semifinals. There are 26 players from the national team on NWSL rosters, and U.S. Soccer pays the salaries for those women. The Canadian and Mexican federations

Chicago stays alive at LLWS WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Joshua Houston had a clutch two-run single, reliever Cameron Bufford pitched a tense scoreless sixth inning, and Chicago held off gritty Philadelphia 6-5 on Thursday night in a matchup of inner-city teams at the Little League World Series. The loss eliminated Philadelphia and prevented star pitcher Mo’ne Davis from getting one last shot to put another stamp on what had become her personal playground. Chicago’s Jackie Robinson West, comprised of all back players, is making its first appearance in 31 years in the Little League World Series. The victory sends the Great Lakes champs into the U.S. title game today against Las Vegas. Las Vegas, the West champions, beat Philly 8-1 on Wednesday and humbled Chicago 13-2 in four innings in a mercy-rule game last Sunday behind five homers, including a grand slam by Brad Stone and two home runs from Austin Kryszczuk. Davis, just the 18th girl to play in the Little League World Series and the only one to win a game on the mound, played first base the first two innings against Chicago before re-entering the game at third base in the bottom of the fifth. She had

become the darling of the sports world with her amazing success and poise. Bufford walked Scott Bandura to lead off the top of the sixth, putting the tying run at first. He then struck out Jahli Hendricks, induced Jared Sprague-Lott to hit into a fielder’s choice and walked dangerous Zion Spearman before getting Jack Rice on a fly to right to end it. Philly trailed 6-2 after two innings but clawed back within a run on Tai Cummings’ long home run to center leading off the fifth. The grassy hill beyond the outfield fences at Howard J. Lamade Stadium was jammed Wednesday night with 34,128 fans who craned their necks to see every pitch from Davis. With the star right-hander playing the field and not eligible to pitch until today, attendance dipped to 21,119 against Chicago. The 5-foot-4 Davis and her teammates gave the Taney Youth Baseball Association Little League in Philadelphia an amazing dose of publicity. In her first outing, Davis pitched a two-hit shutout to become the first girl to win a game in the Little League World Series. In splitting her two starts, Davis pitched 8 13 innings, allowed eight hits and three earned runs, and struck out 14 with only one walk.

Minnesota will get Young in big trade MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves secured the final piece they wanted in a blockbuster Kevin Love trade. A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that the Timberwolves will receive Philadelphia 76ers power forward Thaddeus Young as part of the deal that will send Love to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The person requested anonymity because an official announcement has not been made. The Wolves agreed weeks ago to send Love to Cleveland, where he will team up with LeBron James and Kyrie Irving to make the Cavaliers an instant favorite in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs agreed to send No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins, former No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett and a 2015 No. 1 draft choice they obtained from Miami to Minnesota to land Love, but Wolves President Flip Saunders and GM Milt Newton immediately went to work to try to get the 76ers involved in the deal as well. The Wolves have wanted the 26-year-old Young to help them replace Love in the

starting lineup, and the teams came to agreement on Thursday to make that happen. Young averaged a career-high 17.9 points last season and gives the Wolves another athletic player to put around point guard Ricky Rubio. He also gives the young team another veteran presence in the locker room. Young had two years and more than $19 million left on his contract, but he can become a free agent after next season if he chooses. The rebuilding Sixers will get guard Alexey Shved and forward Luc Mbah a Moute from the Timberwolves and Miami’s No. 1 pick next year from the Cavaliers in the deal, which will not be officially announced until Saturday when Wiggins becomes eligible to be traded. A seldom-used NBA rule prevents any rookie from being traded for 30 days after he signs his rookie contract. Shved and Mbah a Moute are entering the final year of their contracts, which gives the 76ers sought after financial flexibility going forward as GM Sam Hinkie continues to gut the roster in an effort to build a long-term winner over the next five years.

Friday & Saturday August 22 - 23

San Francisco’s Joe Panik, center, is congratulated by Pablo Sandoval after hitting his first major league home run during the fourth inning Friday.

Giants stop Nats’ win streak THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals’ winning streak ended at a team record-tying 10 games as San Francisco rookie Joe Panik hit his first major league home run and sent the Giants to a 10-3 romp on Friday night. Panik went 4 for 5 in his first four-hit game, highlighted by his three-run shot to center field. Tim Hudson and four relievers quieted the bats of the Nationals. During its streak, Washington had seven onerun victories, five come-from-behind wins, and five walk-offs. Hudson (9-9) allowed one earned MLB run over 5 1-3 innings for his first win since Recap July 19. Javier Lopez, Jean Machi, Sergio Romo and Juan Gutierrez finished for the Giants, who have won six of eight. Doug Fister (12-4) threw six innings and uncharacteristically gave up a pair of homers — Nos. 12 and 13 this season. Phillies 5, Cardinals 4: Ryan Howard drove in a pair of runs, and Kyle Kendrick overcame a rocky first inning to lead Philadelphia over St. Louis. Ben Revere, who entered the day second in the National League in hitting, went 3 for 4 to raise his average to .315. Chase Utley and Marlon Byrd also drove in runs for Philadelphia, which won its third in four games. Matt Adams homered and Matt Holliday drove in two runs for the Cardinals, who lost for the second time in nine games. Kendrick (6-11) increased his firstinning ERA to 9.69 this season by allowing three runs. He left after giving up four runs overall and eight hits in 6 13 innings. Adam Wainwright (15-8) failed in his bid to become the first 16-game winner in the big leagues. He allowed five runs, four earned, and six hits in six innings. Wainwright is 2-3 with a 6.49 ERA in five starts this month. Pirates 8, Brewers 3: Josh Harrison homered and drove in a career-high five runs, leading Pittsburgh past Milwaukee. Andrew McCutchen also homered for Pittsburgh, which had lost nine of 12 going into the series against the NL Central-leading Brewers. Jeff Locke (5-3) pitched six strong innings, giving up two runs and two hits. He walked six, but stranded five runners. Braves 3, Reds 1, 12 innings: Justin Upton hit a two-run homer in the 12th inning, rallying Atlanta over Cincinnati after Braves left-hander Mike Minor came up four outs short of a no-hitter. Upton’s 25th homer off Manny Parra (0-1) gave Atlanta its seventh victory in eight games. David Hale (4-4) pitched out of a two-on threat in the 11th. Craig Kimbrel got the last three outs for his 38th save in 42 chances. The Reds managed only two hits — a pair of singles by Billy Hamilton — in their seventh consecutive loss. Padres 5, Diamondbacks 1: Josh Collmenter came two outs away from a complete game, holding San Diego without an earned run on four hits over 8 1-3 innings in Arizona’s win. The Diamondbacks snapped a six-

game losing streak. Collmenter (9-7) also tied his career high for strikeouts with eight and didn’t walk a batter. Marlins 13, Rockies 5: Marcell Ozuna hit a grand slam for his third homer in three games, Giancarlo Stanton had three hits and three RBIs, and Miami beat Colorado. Henderson Alvarez (10-5) withstood a pair of homers over six innings to win his fourth consecutive decision. He was making his second start since returning last week from a stint on the disabled list because of right shoulder inflammation. Dodgers 6, Mets 2: Dan Haren overcame a leadoff homer by Curtis Granderson and a pair of failed sacrifice bunt attempts to help the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the error-prone New York Mets. Haren (11-10) allowed a run and three hits in seven innings, striking out six and walking none. The victory was his third in four starts after going 0-5 with a 10.03 ERA in his previous five outings. Jonathon Niese (7-9) allowed five runs — two earned — eight hits, and three walks in 6 2-3 innings. The unearned runs were the result of a throwing error by shortstop Wilmer Flores on a routine grounder by Adrian Gonzalez. It was one of four Mets errors, matching a season high, including two by Flores.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Yankees 4, White Sox 3: Martin Prado hit an RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning, lifting the New York Yankees over the Chicago White Sox. Facing a full-count pitch from Daniel Webb (5-4) with the bases loaded, Prado lined a hit up the middle to complete the Yankees’ comeback from three runs for their fourth win in 11 games. Prado hit a two-run homer in the third, and Jacoby Ellsbury had an RBI double in the fifth off John Danks after Chicago’s Jose Abreu connected for a three-run shot in the first against Shane Greene. Rays 8, Blue Jays 0: Drew Smyly pitched a two-hitter and retired his final 19 batters for the first complete game of his career, leading Tampa Bay over struggling Toronto. Evan Longoria homered and drove in three runs, and Wil Myers also connected as the Rays began a stretch of 26 straight games against AL East opponents. Smyly (8-10) allowed a leadoff single to Jose Reyes, who was erased on a double play. After Steve Tolleson’s two-out single in the third, Smyly didn’t permit another runner. He walked none and struck out four. Smyly is 2-1 with a 1.55 ERA in four starts since being joining the Rays in the July 31 trade that sent David Price to Detroit. Price pitched a one-hitter against the Rays on Thursday, but Tampa Bay won 1-0. Royals 5, Rangers 3: Rookie righthander Yordano Ventura struck out six in six innings for his 10th victory, and Billy Butler and Josh Willingham had inning-starting homers in AL Centralleading Kansas City’s win over Texas. The hard-throwing Ventura (10-9) allowed one run, four hits, and three walks.

Greg Holland worked a scoreless ninth for his MLB-leading 40th save in 42 opportunities after Wade Davis retired all three batters he faces to extend the majors’ longest active scoreless streak to 22 2-3 innings. Lorenzo Cain shook off a 2-for-14 slump with three hits for Kansas City, which won for the 23rd time in 29 games. Twins 20, Tigers 6: Eduardo Escobar had a career-high five hits, including a homer and a triple, and Minnesota batted around twice in a rout of Detroit. The 20 runs are the most by a team in a major league game this season. Danny Santana had a homer and four RBIs, and Oswaldo Arcia and Trevor Plouffe also homered for the Twins, who scored six runs in the second inning and nine in the sixth to drop the Tigers to 21⁄2 games behind Kansas City in the AL Central race. Robbie Ray (1-4) lasted just 1 1-3 innings, giving up six runs and six hits. Ian Kinsler led off the game with a homer for Detroit, but the team with the vaunted starting pitching staff was reduced to using infielder Andrew Romine on the mound in the eighth inning. Arcia and Plouffe homered off Romine. Athletics 5, Angels 3: Sonny Gray (13-7) ended a monthlong losing streak, pitching into the ninth inning and leading Oakland over the Los Angeles Angels. Coco Crisp hit his 15th career leadoff home run, and Stephen Vogt added a solo shot for Oakland in the opener of a three-game series. Sam Fuld hit a goahead triple in the sixth inning, and the A’s pulled within one game of the AL West-leading Angels. Mike Trout and Josh Hamilton homered for Los Angeles.

INTERLEAGUE Cubs 4, Orioles 1: Jake Arrieta shut down his former team, holding Baltimore to four hits in seven innings, and Javier Baez homered again as the Chicago Cubs beat the Orioles. Baez hit his sixth homer in his 18th game since getting called up from Triple-A, Luis Valbuena also homered, and Logan Watkins and Arismendy Alcantara each drove in runs with singles as the Cubs snapped AL East leading Baltimore’s four-game winning streak. The Orioles traded Arrieta to Chicago with reliever Pedro Strop in a multiplayer deal last season. Baltimore’s Nelson Cruz hit his major league-leading 34th homer, a solo shot off Arrieta (7-4) in the seventh. Astros 5, Indians 1: Jon Singleton hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning, and Houston took advantage of sloppy defense to beat Cleveland. Singleton’s home run off Cody Allen (4-3) capped the four-run inning that began with two errors by the worst defensive team in the majors. Catcher Roberto Perez’s throwing error allowed the go-ahead run to score in a rally that started with a throwing error by first baseman Carlos Santana. Tony Sipp (4-2) pitched the eighth inning in which the Indians had two runners thrown out on the bases. Houston, which has won four of five, snapped a six-game losing streak to the Indians in which the Astros were outscored 41-15.

Sports Phelps helps American squad win gold

The Associated Press

Britain’s Adam Peaty celebrates setting a new world record as he wins his 50-meter breaststroke semifinal at the Swimming European Championships on Friday.

British swimmer sets new world record BERLIN (AP) — Adam Peaty of Britain set a world record in the 50-meter breaststroke on Friday, finishing in 26.62 seconds in a semifinal heat at the European Swimming Championship. Peaty appeared amazed at the end of the second of two semifinal heats and needed a few moments to realize that he had set a new mark. The old record of 26.67 belonged to Cameron van der Burgh of South Africa, set on July 29, 2009, in Rome, when swimmers were still using high-tech, performance-enhancing full body suits.

“I feel absolutely amazing. I had to look at that scoreboard about five times before I knew I had broken it,” Peaty said. At the recent Commonwealth Games, Peaty finished second to Van der Burgh over 50 meters, but beat the Olympic champion in the 100. Peaty won the 100 breaststroke gold medal on Tuesday in Berlin and added another one in the new mixed relay event with Britain. Florent Manaudou of France won the 100-meter freestyle race in 47.98 to clinch his third gold medal of the competition.

GOLD COAST, Australia (AP) — Michael Phelps is back on top of the podium. The 29-year-old American, swimming in his first international meet since coming out of retirement, helped the United States win the 4x200-meter relay Friday at the Pan Pacific championships. “Being able to get back on the podium — it feels amazing,” Phelps said. “It’s a good first day. Good first international meet back. There’s no better way to finish this, lovely, rainy night then being able to step up with your teammates and win a gold medal.” Phelps finished fourth in his first final — the 100 free — but he later swam the second leg of the relay and watched as Matt McLean overhauled Takeshi Matsuda of Japan on the last lap. In the 100, 20-year-old Cameron McEvoy of Australia won in 47.82 seconds in pouring rain at the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre’s outdoor pool. Olympic gold medalist Nathan Adrian of the United States was second in 48.30 and James Magnussen, the two-time world champion from Australia, was third. “What more could I ask for?” McEvoy said. “I just felt great the whole way. It was an honor to be in a race with such great men — so much

Kosuke Hagino of Japan swims in the 400-meter individual medley final at the Pan Pacific swimming championships in Gold Coast, Australia, on Friday. Hagino won the race. those guys have accomplished. It was great to be in their company in that race — the whole night was awesome.” Phelps, who retired after the London Olympics but returned to competition four months ago, was just off the podium in 48.51. He took a more long-term view, saying he was “learning all the time” and knew what he needed to improve before the world championships next year and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Before taking the Americans right to the wire in the relay, Japan picked up

two gold medals in the men’s competition with Kosuke Hagino winning the 400 medley and Yasuhiro Koseki winning the 100 breaststroke in 59.62. Australian sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell finished 1-2 in the women’s 100 free, with Simone Manuel earning her first international individual medal when she held off American teammate Missy Franklin for bronze. Cate Campbell swam the fastest time of the year to qualify first for the final in 52.62 seconds, and went a shade slower to win the gold at 52.72.

After the 100 free, the Americans picked up the other three women’s gold medals on the second night of competition, with Jess Hardy winning the 100 breaststroke, Elizabeth Beisel holding off teammate Maya Dirado in the 400 medley and Katie Ledecky anchoring the 4x200 relay team to a comeback win over Australia. It was the third gold medal of the meet for the 17year-old Ledecky. And it was the first for Franklin, who won six titles at last year’s world championships but has been hampered by a back injury at the Pan Pacs.

Oregon running back Thomas Tyner carries the ball during the first half against UCLA in Eugene on Oct. 26, 2013. Tyner is ready to live up to the expectations that were heaped on him when he joined the Ducks. He was third on the Ducks with 711 yards rushing last year, and he scored nine touchdowns.

Tyner looking to step up for Ducks EUGENE (AP) — No more rookie excuses for Thomas Tyner. Oregon’s sophomore running back is ready to live up to the expectations that were heaped on him when he joined the Ducks last year. “It’s time to grow up,” he said. “It’s time to step up and do it big.” As a freshman Tyner was third on the Ducks with 711 yards rushing, and he scored nine touchdowns. He steadily improved and had a breakout in the Civil War rivalry game against the Oregon State Beavers, with 22 carries for 140 yards and a score in Oregon’s 36-35 victory. The Ducks finished the season 11-2 with a victory over Texas in the Alamo Bowl. This year they’re ranked No. 3 in the nation heading into the opener Aug. 30 at home against South Dakota. Tyner says he’s ready, having matured as a player since last season. “Now it’s just more natural. Last year I think was I was thinking way too much,” he said. “Now I’m just thinking about the play, and what I have to do in the moment.” Oregon’s expected starter at running back this season is Byron Marshall, the Pac-12’s top returning rusher who ran for 1,038 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. Tyner is competing in fall camp with

promising freshman Royce Freeman, considered one of the top prospects in the nation out of high school. Freeman, who is from Southern California, also had offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, and Stanford before settling on Oregon. He ran for 2,824 yards and 41 touchdowns as a high school senior, drawing comparisons to former Ducks LeGarrette Blount and Jonathan Stewart. Like Freeman, Tyner was a star in high school. Nicknamed Dash, Tyner was a homegrown recruit from Aloha High School, west of Portland. He rushed for 3,415 yards as a senior, setting a new single single-season rushing record for the state. He scored 47 touchdowns, 43 on the ground. On his 18th birthday his senior year, Tyner smashed state records with 643 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns in an 84-63 victory over Lakeridge High School. It was the third-most rushing yards ever for a prep player, behind John Giannantonio’s record of 754 yards in a game for Netcong High School in New Jersey in 1950, and Paul McCoy’s 661 yards rushing for Matewan High School in West Virginia in 2006. All eyes were on him as a freshman last year, but Tyner admits that at times

he wasn’t fully engaged. Because he’s from Oregon, he went home a lot. And everything about football was new — he went from a more pro-style high school offense to the Ducks’ speedy spreadoption. In addition to spending more time in Eugene this season, the 5-foot-11, 215pound back is focusing on improving physically. “This year I’m working my conditioning,” he said, adding with a smile: “I’ve been working on getting stronger — and getting meaner. ‘’ Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said he’s seen Tyner’s improvement — but he still has a ways to go. “The guy is an excellent protector and an excellent blocker when he’s fully cut loose. He just needs to have a little more confidence in what he’s doing,” Helfrich said. “Part of that is experience.” Because of its option offense, Oregon has become known for its running backs in recent years, including LaMichael James, Kenjon Barner, Blount and Stewart. Tyner would like to follow their lead. “I’ve got a lot to work on,” Tyner said. “There’s been a lot of great running backs at Oregon and they’ve all stepped up. I think it’s time for me to step up too.

More schools are selling beer at stadiums BY ERIC OLSON The Associated Press Walk through the tailgate area at a college football stadium, and beer drinking is as common a sight as fans adorned in jerseys of their favorite players. A growing number of schools are bringing the party inside, opening taps in concourses that traditionally have been alcohol-free zones. North Texas, SMU and Troy University will begin beer sales to the general public this season. They’re among 21 oncampus football stadiums where any fan of legal age can grab a brew. That’s more than twice as many as five years ago. Most schools continue to keep alcohol restricted to premium seating areas, if they allow it at all. But offering alcohol is increasingly attractive for some campuses, especially for cash-strapped athletic departments outside the Power 5 conferences. Those schools, especially, are looking for ways to keep fans coming to their stadiums instead of sitting in front of

their HD TVs at home or at sports bars. They’re also encouraged by the schools that were among the first to sell alcohol and didn’t report an increase in bad behavior from students and other fans. “Every institution is looking at how they can increase revenue streams, and alcohol is one of those,” said Jeff Schemmel, president of the consulting firm College Sports Solutions LLC. “Everything is on the table.” There are 11 municipal stadiums where FBS teams are tenants and alcohol is available to the general public. The municipality usually keeps most, if not all, of the alcohol proceeds. The NCAA does not sell alcohol to the general public at its championship events. Schools and conferences are allowed to make their own policies. According to an Associated Press survey of the 21 beerselling schools that own and operate their stadiums, about half their concessions revenue is derived from alcohol. All but four of those schools are in conferences outside the Power

5 that don’t earn significant television money. Troy athletic director John Hartwell estimated beer would bring his Alabama school about $200,000 in commissions this season. According to its contract with concessionaire Sodexo, Troy will receive 43 percent of gross beer sales at its 30,000-seat stadium, or better than $2 for every $5 beer. “That’s more impactful to a bottom line for a Troy than it is for a Texas or West Virginia or institutions similar to that,” said Hartwell, whose program runs on a $20 million budget. Alcohol proceeds will be used to pay debt on a $25 million expansion of Troy’s football facilities. The Big 12’s West Virginia, with a budget of more than $80 million, began beer sales in 2011 in part to counter a problem with drunken fans coming and going from tailgate parties during games. Fans no longer are allowed to re-enter the stadium once they leave. Beer sales have produced no less than $516,000 each of the last three years for West

Virginia, and campus police report alcohol-related incidents at Mountaineer Field have declined sharply. Troy football season ticket holder Brian Ross, who also attends the Trojans’ road games, said he sees worse behavior at stadiums where alcohol isn’t sold. Troy is among five Sun Belt Conference schools selling beer this fall. Ross said a lot of tailgate partiers chug as much beer as they can before entering noalcohol venues so they can “keep their buzz” throughout the game. “Now these people will realize they can get one in the stadium and they don’t need that last beer at the tailgate,” Ross said. Selling alcohol at college football games might seem counterintuitive at a time when there is so much concern about binge drinking on campuses. Mothers Against Drunk Driving national president Jan Withers said her organization opposes any alcohol in a college environment because most of the students are under 21.

ATLANTA — This isn’t another column about Florida State or Alabama. They get enough attention. With the start of college football right around the corner, we’d like to give a shoutout to the Bottom 10, those schools where optimism is about as appropriate as refusing to dump a bucket of ice water on your head. Schools such as Georgia State, losers of 16 in a row and one of only two FBS teams that failed to win a game, any game, in 2013. When the Panthers take the field in the very first contest of the season, next Wednesday night against Abilene Christian, they won’t be thinking about championships. A win would be worthy of a parade. “Our kids are just excited to play, to go out and try to get the taste of victory and put the demons away,” coach Trent Miles said Friday. With a nod to the occult, let’s count ‘em down, the poll where no one wants to be No. 1: 10. Southern Mississippi. The Golden Eagles are a recent addition to the ranks of the decrepit. Just three seasons ago they finished 122 and made another poll — The Associated Press Top 25. Since then, Southern Miss is 1-23. But maybe things are looking up. The Golden Eagles come into the season on a winning streak, closing 2013 with a 62-27 victory over UAB. Speaking of which ... 9. UAB. The letters supposedly stand for University of Alabama at Birmingham, but we know better. It actually means “U Ain’t Bama,” as in that program down the road in Tuscaloosa. With only three winning seasons since launching in 1996, the Blazers play to sparse crowds at creaky Legion Field, where they actually had to remove the upper deck a few years ago because of fears it would collapse. Not that UAB needed the extra seats. 8. California. The Bears can’t blame a behind-thetimes stadium for their woes, having spent $321 million to renovate their home field. Though they haven’t done much in those spiffy new digs. Cal is 1-11 at home against FBS teams the last two years. In 2013, Cal gave up a staggering 45.9 points a game, prompting secondyear coach Sonny Dykes to crack: “I paid more attention to defense last year than I ever have before, so maybe I’ll pay less attention this year.” 7. Kentucky. Yes, they play football at Kentucky. Long overshadowed by the Big Blue basketball team, the Wildcats really stepped up their putrid play in recent years: a 16-game losing streak in the mighty Southeastern Conference,

back-to-back losses to state directional foe Western Kentucky, and zero wins over major-conference teams since 2011. The good news? It will soon be basketball season. 6. Purdue. This has never been a Big Ten powerhouse, but it wasn’t so long ago the Boilermakers put together a streak of 10 bowls in 11 seasons. No talk of bowls at the moment. Purdue went 1-11 last year and turned back the clock offensively, averaging a paltry 14.9 points a game in this high-scoring era. 5. Temple. The Owls are a program that keeps outkicking its coverage. A decade ago, they were booted out of the Big East for incompetence and wound up in the Mid-American Conference, where they managed a couple of bowl appearances. When the imploding Big East changed its membership standards to basically any school with a pulse, the Owls were invited back. Last season, they morphed into the American Athletic Conference with a familiar result: 2-10. 4. Eastern Michigan. Coach Ron English was fired in November for using vile language during a secretly taped meeting with defensive backs. Some may say he got off lucky at a school that’s 28-90 over the last decade. Then again, one of the Eagles’ two wins in 2013 came against Western Michigan (1-11), so maybe we’ll make Eastern 5a, Western 5b. 3. Idaho. The Vandals have one winning record in the last 14 years, going 1-11 each of the last two seasons. This school is located in Moscow, a small town near the Washington state border. They would be getting roughly the same attention if they were playing in that other Moscow. 2. Georgia State. The Panthers are likely the worst program in the country, but we’ll give them a bit of a break since they started in 2010 and this will be just their second year in FBS. (Full disclosure: As a graduate of GSU, I know the Panthers have never been No. 1 in anything.) Which brings us to No. 1. (Or should we say No. 128?) Drum roll, please. 1. New. Mexico State. Ohhh, where to begin. The Aggies have the nation’s longest active streak of losing seasons (11 in a row) and the worst record of any FBS school over the last decade (28-94). Since 1968, they have a grand total of four winning seasons. But the Aggies (along with Idaho) are moving to the Sun Belt Conference, which already includes Georgia State. Keep an eye on New Mexico State’s Sept. 6 showdown against the Panthers in Atlanta. Or maybe not. We won’t blame you for getting back to Florida State and Alabama.

Lindquist to start for Huskies at Hawaii SEATTLE (AP) — Sophomore Jeff Lindquist will be the starting quarterback for No. 25 Washington when the Huskies open the season at Hawaii on Aug. 30. Washington coach Chris Petersen announced the decision after practice Friday. Lindquist and redshirt freshman Troy Williams had been competing for the starting job after expected starter Cyler Miles was suspended for the opener for his

involvement in an off-field incident last February. Miles will be eligible to rejoin the team for its home opener on Sept. 6 against FCS power Eastern Washington. Petersen said Miles and Williams will be in competition for the starting job. Lindquist has not thrown a pass in college, but has appeared in a couple of games. He was a prep standout at nearby Mercer Island High School.

Fifth-year senior becomes Arizona State’s undisputed leader TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Taylor Kelly remembers feeling the doubt around him at an early age, when he and a group of scrappy teammates played in a basketball tournament in Las Vegas. It hovered over him again during his senior year in high school when, despite all that he had accomplished, the scholarship offers were almost nonexistent. Once he got to Arizona

State, the skepticism continued with two years of waiting and a prolonged competition to become the starter. Even now, as a proven winner and undisputed leader of the 19th-ranked Sun Devils, the fifth-year senior still finds himself as an afterthought in conversations about the nation’s best quarterbacks. It’s a mistake. No matter how many times he’s

been marginalized or overlooked, Kelly has found a way to win by outworking, out-thinking and out-performing his opponent. “He’s a tremendous competitor,” Arizona State offensive coordinator Mike Norvell said.“Whether it was in high school or here at ASU, he’s always won, always had an edge to him. He doesn’t need all the extra attention, but he knows and he plays

with a chip on his shoulder.” When a three-way battle for the starting job emerged before his sophomore season, Kelly was considered the third-best option before beating out Michael Eubank and Mike Bercovici just before the start of the season. Even after filling up Arizona State’s record book and leading the Sun Devils to a pair of bowl games, he

often gets overlooked among the best quarterbacks in the Pac-12, much less the country. The consistent lack of respect could wear on Kelly. Instead, it motivates him. “I’ve always been an underdog, whether it’s in a QB battle or something else,” Kelly said. “For me to have that chip on my shoulder and stay hungry and has always pushed me.”

Steelers pair “pitched in” to buy pot

The Associated Press

Seattle Seahawks running back Christine Michael, left, jumps over a teammate as Chicago Bears defensive tackle Stephen Paea moves in during the first half Friday in Seattle.

Wilson, Seahawks trap Bears SEATTLE (AP) — Russell Wilson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another score, helping the Seattle Seahawks to the easy 34-6 victory over Chicago. Already with a defense expected to be among the best in the NFL again, Wilson and the Seahawks can only hope the offensive efficiency of the past two weeks continues into the regular season. Seattle scored touchdowns on its first four possessions, and Steven Hauschka hit a 59-yard field goal — what would be a franchise record in the regular season — on the final play of NFL the first half. It was Recap the ninth straight possession Seattle had scored with Wilson on the field. Jay Cutler played the first half for Chicago and was 12 of 20 for 157 yards and an interception. Wilson completed 15 of 20 passes for 202 yards, including scoring plays of 12 yards to Jermaine Kearse and 7 yards to Christine Michael. Wilson also had a 7yard touchdown run. Marshawn Lynch got his first taste of the preseason with three carries for 16 yards and capped Seattle’s opening drive with a 7-yard TD run before putting on basketball shoes and a baseball hat. Patriots 30, Panthers 7: Tom Brady’s offense and the New England Patriots’ defense dominated the Carolina Panthers. Brady threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns, Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 60-yard field goal and the Patriots shut down Cam Newton and

the visiting Panthers. The third preseason game for both teams was no contest as the Patriots outgained the Panthers 405-271. Brady led the Patriots (2-1) to scores on three of his five series and completed 17 of 21 passes. Newton was 8 for 12 for 88 yards and was sacked three times. All five of his possessions for the Panthers (1-2) ended in punts. Both quarterbacks left after their first series of the third quarter. Coach Ron Rivera would like to limit Newton’s running, despite his skill, and one dash appeared to stun him. He was tackled after running 7 yards when he couldn’t find a receiver. Trainers went on the field to check on him, and he was replaced by Derek Anderson before returning after one play. Giants 35, Jets 24: Geno Smith and Michael Vick each threw for a touchdown with the New York Jets’ starters, and the defense mostly shut down Eli Manning before the Giants’ backups rallied. Rex Ryan announced that Smith will be the starting quarterback for the Jets (2-1) after a solid preseason. He was 9 of 14 for 137 yards, including a 1-yard scoring toss to rookie Jace Amaro. Vick replaced Smith to start the second half, and after a rough first series in which he was sacked and then lost a fumble, led an 11-play, 76-yard drive that was capped by a go-ahead 3-yard TD toss to Eric Decker against the Giants’ backups. Vick finished 4 of 5 for 35 yards in his two series against the Giants (4-0). Manning, still adjusting to new coordinator Ben McAdoo’s offense, struggled most of the way but hit Rueben Randle for a 15-yard touchdown with 5

seconds left in the first half. Manning was 12 of 21 for 139 yards, including his first scoring pass of the preseason. Giants backup Ryan Nassib threw three touchdown passes. Packers 31, Raiders 21: Aaron Rodgers threw for two touchdowns, Eddie Lacy rumbled for a 1-yard score on the Green Bay Packers’ opening drive and prized free agent acquisition Julius Peppers recorded his first sack of the preseason in a victory over the visiting Oakland Raiders. The game was stopped for several minutes in the second quarter after Raiders linebacker Sio Moore was taken off the field with a neck injury. He gave a thumbs-up sign while the crowd gave him a standing ovation. Moore was taken to a hospital. The Raiders (1-2) also lost two other defensive starters to head injuries in cornerback Tarell Brown and linebacker Nick Roach. Matt Schaub played into the third, finishing 13 of 27 for 110 yards. Lions 13, Jaguars 12: Reggie Bush broke free for an 86-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, one of only a few offensive highlights as the Detroit Lions edged the Jacksonville Jaguars in a penalty-filled game. Calvin Johnson played for the first time this preseason, catching two passes for 27 yards, but Matthew Stafford was intercepted once and the Lions (2-1) struggled in the red zone. Blake Bortles threw for 158 yards and a touchdown for the Jaguars (1-2). Jacksonville started Chad Henne, but Bortles — the third pick in this year’s draft — was impressive in relief. He completed 10 of 16 passes, including a 13-yard touchdown to Allen Hurns.

Martin looks to earn 49ers roster spot SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Early in his career, Jonathan Martin had a harder time keeping plays straight while shifting from one side of the offensive line to the other. That ability and versatility now might help earn him a job with the San Francisco 49ers after what coach Jim Harbaugh considers an impressive first training camp with the team. Martin feels fit and well adapted in the offense and his new surroundings, having moved past a three-week bout with mononucleosis this spring and his tumultuous departure from the Miami Dolphins last October amid a bullying scandal. These days, it’s all about football. “I have clear eyes looking forward, focused on being a part of this team,” Martin said Friday. “I’m just looking forward and doing my best to continue my NFL career and

contribute to a team that’s as good as the 49ers.” The 25-year-old Martin is concerning himself with all that he can control to earn a spot on the 53-man roster when final cuts are complete Aug. 30. He has started both preseason games at right tackle in place of starter Anthony Davis, who is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. Martin also has played snaps on the left side. He is at full strength after the May bout with mono and the weight loss that came with it. “That’s how I look at it: control the controlables. I’m doing my best to play well in these last two preseason games and whatever happens happens and I’ll have no regrets in the effort I put out and in my film study and work ethic,” Martin said. “There’s still stuff I’m cleaning up technique wise,” Martin said. “I’m starting to think less and play faster and

that’s kind of the goal heading into Week 1.” Harbaugh has called this another important week for Martin and all his players. “Jonathan Martin has done very well. Been a great addition to our football team. Sure glad we got him,” Harbaugh said. “Like everybody else on our football team, working to improve in certain areas. He’s been very effective and efficient.” Harbaugh said a slippery field wouldn’t affect him letting his starters go deeper into the game, as is the usual plan with the third preseason game. That could mean Martin has a longer stint against the Chargers. He has played 57 snaps so far, and he’s ready to mix it up at different spots again if asked. “It’s been good, just trying to do my best so I can flip all the plays in my head left to right and right to left and be ready to go wherever I’m

Jim Harbaugh said of the field. “What more can I say about it? We can count on our organization to always do things at the highest level. It’s that simple. ... I’m sure the field is going to be good and playable. I think I’ve done well talking about grass.” 49ers Chief Operating Officer Al Guido said the team, league officials and other experts and consultants are working to solve the issue and determine why the initial sod laid in April failed to hold up at least well into the regular season as was expected. There had been plans to re-sod at some point this season when it was deemed neces-

thereafter all three occupants told the officer “they just picked up the marijuana and that they each pitched in to buy it.” Advised that he would be charged with driving under the influence, Bell said, “I didn’t know that you could get a DUI for being high. I smoked two hours ago. I am not high anymore. I am perfectly fine.” Bell continued, explaining, “Why would I be getting high if I had to get on a plane to make it to my game?” the officer wrote. After that, Bell told the officer he played for the Steelers and had to catch a 3:00 flight to Philadelphia. The Steelers played the Eagles on Thursday night in Philadelphia. The officer said Bell did not appear capable of safely operating the vehicle, so he had him taken to the hospital for a blood test. The suspected marijuana and Bell’s blood were to be submitted to the Allegheny County crime lab. Police said they seized about 20 grams — or threefourths of an ounce — of marijuana in a plastic bag found in the car’s console. Online court records don’t list attorneys for the Steelers or their friend. A district judge mailed out the complaints Friday and scheduled a preliminary hearing for all three on Oct. 15. Team spokesman Burt Lauten said Friday that the team had no comment on the charges.

Manziel hands over $12K for the finger CLEVELAND (AP) — Johnny Manziel has been slapped on the finger. The NFL fined the Browns rookie quarterback $12,000 on Friday for flipping his middle finger at Washington’s sideline, a person familiar with the penalty told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the ruling has not been made public. Manziel said he was reacting to incessant taunting by the Redskins during Monday night’s nationally televised game when he made the gesture while running back to Cleveland’s huddle. “I had words exchanged with me throughout the entirety of the game, every game, week after week,” Manziel said. “I should have been smarter. It was a Monday Night Football game and the cameras were probably solidly on me, and I need to be smarter about that.” Manziel has never shied away from other gestures on the field, notably the fingerrubbing “money” sign he made famous while at Texas A&M. Manziel expects the trash talk to keep heading his way. “Since my name has grown bigger and people have known who I am, it just continues to go as the games continue to go on,” he said following Cleveland’s 24-23 loss to the

Make sure I’m sharp and know what I’m doing out there.” Each day he pulls on a 49ers uniform and takes to the practice field is another that puts him further from last season. Martin left the Dolphins in late October, accusing teammate Richie Incognito of bullying. An NFL investigation determined Incognito and two other Dolphins offensive linemen engaged in persistent harassment of Martin. “It’s been great, everything expected and more,” Martin said of his new home. “It’s a talented team, a great group of guys and it’s fun to be part of something special.” Safety Antoine Bethea is expected to be medically cleared for the game after last Sunday’s concussion, but Harbaugh said he probably KANSAS CITY, Mo.

49ers’ new stadium already needs new sod SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers re-sodded the field at Levi’s Stadium from goal line to goal line and sideline to sideline with longer grass Friday and they expect no problems for Sunday’s preseason game against the San Diego Chargers. Two high school games that had been scheduled for next Friday night in the $1.2 billion venue will instead be played in October or early November, giving the field plenty of time to be prepared for a Sept. 6 soccer match between Chile and Mexico. “We’re refitting, regrouping, retooling and the new field is going in,” coach

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers running backs Le’Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount told police they “pitched in” to buy a bag of marijuana with a female friend shortly before they were pulled over — and Bell acknowledged smoking some, though he told the officer who pulled them over he felt OK to drive, police said in court papers. The criminal complaints against Bell, 22, and Blount, 27, were made public Friday morning. The complaints charge Bell, Blount and 21year-old Mercedes Dollson, of Elk Grove, Calif., with possessing a small amount — or less than 30 grams — of marijuana. Bell was also charged with driving under the influence. A motorcycle officer in the Pittsburgh suburb of Ross Township pulled over Bell’s Chevrolet Camaro when he smelled marijuana coming from it around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, the complaints said. At first, Officer Sean Stafiej wrote, “Bell told me that he did not have any marijuana in the vehicle.” The officer said he then asked Bell, whose “eyes were red and glassy,” and the others whether they had smoked pot that day. “It was about a minute ago,” Bell replied. When the officer asked what he meant, Bell said, “We smoked within the last two hours,” and shortly

I just need to let it slide off my back and go to the next play. “I feel like I did a good job of holding my composure throughout the night and you have a lapse of judgment and slip up.” His finger flipping didn’t help his chances of winning Cleveland’s starting job,which went to veteran Brian Hoyer. Browns coach Mike Pettine felt Manziel should have known better than to react to Washington’s insults. He wants his high-profile rookie — and Cleveland’s other players — to make mature decisions on and off the field. Pettine said the 21-year-old’s behavior factored into the team’s decision in naming a starter. “We talk about ‘Play like a Brown.’ We want our guys to act like a Brown,” Pettine said. “We want to be a first-class organization. We have hundreds, thousands of kids come to our training camp practices, and look up to our players. That type of behavior is unacceptable. It’s something that’s part of football that you have to maintain your poise and your composure, especially at that position, and he should know better than anyone that all eyes are on him.”

Chiefs tackle nabbed for PEDs violation they were informed of the positive test on Friday and expressed disappointment in losing Stephenson. Stephenson said in a statement issued through the NFL Players’ Association that he took a medication that requires a therapeutic-use exemption and failed to properly investigate it. “The rules are strict, and without a TUE, the consequence is a four-game suspension,” Stephenson said in the statement. “It is not a mistake I will ever make again. I will train extremely hard during my time away from the team and I will be ready to contribute to my team’s effort to win a Super Bowl as soon as I return.”

Community Sports Stuntzner sets state record Fall bowling season starts during Scott Poore meet soon at North Bend Lanes THE WORLD Denise Stuntzner set an Oregon Masters record for her age group to highlight local efforts during the Scott Poore Memorial Meet at North Bend Municipal Pool last weekend. Six South Coast Aquatic Team members, and one from Gold Coast Swim Team, were top point earners for their respective age groups during the three-day meet. Stuntzner set the 50-54 age-group record for the 200 butterfly with her time of 2 minutes, 24.15 seconds. “That made me very happy because not only is it

two seconds faster than I swam at Nationals in May when I expected to get the record, it was a much-better executed race than any of the 200 flys I’ve swum since I started training one year ago.” The time also was 15 seconds faster than the same meet a year ago, she said. It is her second state record. She set the 200 freestyle record earlier this year and just missed four others between the meet this weekend and the recent World Masters Championship meet in Canada. Stuntzner swims for the South Coast Aquatic Team.

SCAT swimmers who had the most points in their age groups last weekend included Grace Knutsen (girls 1112), Vianka Hoyer (girls 13-14), Alyssa Bennett (girls 15-and-over), Finley Cheal (boys 8 and under), Jerrad Perez-Duncan (boys 13-14) and Karl Stuntzner-Gibson (boys 15 and over). Gavyn Tatge of Gold Coast Swim Team was tops in the boys 9-10 division. The meet included swimmers from 10 different clubs. Results for the South Coast Aquatic Team and Gold Coast Swim Team are listed in today’s Community Scoreboard.

Tringale, Scott lead at Barclays PARAMUS, N.J. (AP) — Now that the majors are over, Adam Scott is going after the only big prize left this year — a shot at the $10 million FedEx Cup title. Scott ran off four straight birdies in the middle of his round Friday, and then closed with an approach that settled a foot from the cup for a tap-in birdie and a 6-under 65. That gave him a share of the 36-hole lead with Cameron Tringale at The Barclays. Three dozen players were within five shots of the lead, a group that includes British Open and PGA champion Rory McIlroy. The world’s No. 1 player, going after his fourth straight victory, shook off some rust on the range and was nine shots better than his opening round with a 65. Scott won The Barclays a year ago at Liberty National, and it felt like a bonus in a year in which he won his first major at the Masters. He never had a serious chance at any of the majors this year, and he is looking at the FedEx Cup playoffs differently. “There’s so much to play for, and for me to be satisfied with the year, I need four really great weeks,” Scott said. The Associated Press Scott and Tringale were at 8-under Cameron Tringale watches his shot on the third fairway during second 134. Kevin Chappell (67), Brendon Todd round play at The Barclays golf tournament Friday in Paramus, N.J. (69) and Jim Furyk (69) were one shot

behind. The group two shots back included Henrik Stenson (64), Jason Day (64) and Ernie Els, who is playing his sixth straight tournament and shot a 68. Some scorecards needed more than just numbers, starting with Phil Mickelson. Lefty took a bogey on the “five-anddime” fifth hole, thusly named because Byron Nelson always used a 5-iron and a wedge. Mickelson, like so many other players, tried to drive the green and took a wild detour. His shot bounced into the grandstand, behind a row of seats on the thin carpet of the hospitality area. Instead of dropping into deep grass, he chose to play it out of the bleachers, right next to a half-filled glass of beer on a table. It went too long, over the green and into a bunker, though it gave the crowd a thrill. “It wasn’t hard to make contact. It was hard to hit it on that skinny little green and get it to stop,” Mickelson said. He compared it with trying to hit a shot off the cart path, except the carpet “doesn’t scrape up your club as much.” Mickelson birdied his last hole for a 72 to make the cut on the number. Seung-yul Noh made a bogey by playing off the wrong green — except it

Ryu pushes Canadian lead to 5 LONDON, Ontario (AP) — So Yeon Ryu used a second straight bogey-free round to pull away at the Canadian Women’s Open. Ryu shot a 6-under 66 Friday at the London Hunt and Country Club to get to 15 under, the best two-round start in the tournament’s history. She was five strokes ahead of fellow South Korean Na Yeon Choi, playing partner Anna Nordqvist and Danielle Kang. “A lot of birdies is still a good sign, but no bogeys is more (of) a great sign because it means I play really consistent and when I was in trouble I handled it pretty well,” she said. “That’s my goal. I aim for the bogey-free round all four days.”

“So Yeon is probably making everything she looks at,” said Cristie Kerr who shot a 4under 68 Friday to get to 9 under. She was the champion in London in 2006. American Brittany Lincicome, who was a runner-up to Inbee Park at last week’s LPGA Championship, had the best round of the day with a 65 to move to 8 under. Lincicome said her confidence level was “really high.” “I felt really confident when I stepped on the first hole,” she said. “It was a very smooth day and it was nice to get some putts to fall.” Joining Lincicome at 8 under were Lizette Salas, Lindsey Wright, Mi Hyang Lee and Xi Yu Lin.

Donaldson retains lead at Czech Masters VYSOKY UJEZD, Czech Republic (AP) — Jamie Donaldson shot a 3-under 69 Friday to retain a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Czech Masters and keep alive his hopes of a spot on Europe’s Ryder Cup team. Seeking his third European Tour victory, the Welshman was in a position to stretch his lead after producing six

birdies and a bogey before finishing the second round with two bogeys on the last three holes for an overall 9under 135. “I won’t dwell on the poor shots,” Donaldson said. “I played two pitches at seven and eight and misjudged them both so one’s come out hot and one’s come out dead. That slowed the run down,

up until that point I was really motoring.” Donaldson currently has a qualifying spot for his debut Ryder Cup but still needs a top-seven finish to have a place guaranteed for next month’s match against the United States at Gleneagles. Gregory Bourdy of France is one stroke back after carding 67.

turned into a triple bogey because he didn’t know that he wasn’t allowed to hit off the putting surface from a different hole. His tee shot on No. 11 was so far right that it landed on the third green. Noh took a divot off the green, and a rules official drove up and told him the rule, which comes with a two-shot penalty. McIlroy kept his excitement to birdies. The 25-year-old from Northern Ireland said he took a week away from golf to celebrate his big summer — two majors and his first World Golf Championship — and paid for it with an opening 74. But the range session Thursday afternoon did wonders, and he went from below the cut line to within five shots of the lead. He also made those “Freaky Friday” rounds that ruined so many tournaments a distant memory. His last four second rounds have been 66, 64, 67 and 65. That’s more like “Fun Friday,” and they’ve put the No. 1 player back in the mix. “It’s a very bunched leaderboard,” McIlroy said. “I’m still five shots behind, but there’s a lot of players between me and the leaders — obviously, a few quality guys at the top, Adam being one of them. So I’m going to have to shoot a couple of rounds similar to today to maybe win this thing.”

Drivers outside Chase face tense final races BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — It’s the kind of jumble that can make even the most seasoned driver nervous. Matt Kenseth stands fifth in the points standings and seems a lock to make in into NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup championship when the 10-race playoffs begin in three weeks at Chicagoland Speedway. But the 2003 series champion is still winless this season. With three races remaining in the regular-season, including two on unpredictable short tracks, he’s not banking on anything just yet. “I never feel like you’re a lock for anything until you’re really a lock for something,” Kenseth said Friday at Bristol Motor Speedway, the first of those short tracks to be navigated in the next three races. “Until it’s mathematically impossible to be out, I never feel like you’re in. We want to win.” He’s still in a lot less pre-

carious position than, say, Greg Biffle. Twelve drivers are already locked into the playoffs as race winners. Kenseth’s 709 points put him 13th in the Chase standings, 49 points ahead of Biffle, who is in the final qualifying spot. Three drivers — Kasey Kahne, Austin Dillon and Kyle Larson — are within 24 points of Biffle, and the list of non-winners also includes very capable drivers like Kahne, Paul Menard and Jamie McMurray. In NASCAR’s new format, a win by any of them, or by one of several other drivers, would allow the race-winner to jump into the championship field. “You’ve got to really be on offense and defense” at Bristol, Biffle said. “You come in here and run as hard as you can. We’re here to win and we feel like we run in the top 10 about every time we’re at Bristol, and that’s the

His victory

was cemented by an inadvertent caution to end a rainsoaked race. “I feel it’s going to take a win still to get in this thing,” Biffle said. The dicey nature of the jumble gets all the more

intriguing with rookies Dillon and Larson among those hot on Biffle’s heals. Dillon trails by 22 points for 16th place, Larson is 24 back. “Being a rookie, I don’t have much to lose,” Dillon said. “There has never been a rookie make the Chase. This would be a great opportunity to do that. ... I don’t feel a huge sense of urgency.” Plenty of others do, though, or at least a sense of uncertainty. Two-time race winner Joey Logano is delighted to be out of jeopardy and firmly locked into the playoffs. “There are guys out there with a lot of different agendas,” he said. “Some guys are going to try to be consistent and try to get it in by points because there aren’t going to be that many more different winners, and then you have guys that kind of have nothing to lose — the same way I’m going to race. ... I think this is going to be one of the

first races where that panic mode is really going to set in like, ‘OK, we have to win or we’re out,’ and I think that’s going to start coming into play in our races quite a bit.” It’s all why Kenseth remains cautious. He added that any notion that only Chase contenders expect to be factors Saturday night is probably wrong. “There’s a lot of incentives if you win races, so I don’t really buy the fact that anybody is really folding it in and getting ready for the Chase and saying, ‘OK, we don’t care about the next three weeks,”’ he said. “I think it’s a huge event and everybody wants to win at Bristol — it’s the Bristol night race. I think it’s one of the most hyped, intense, entertaining races that we have all year and I think that all 43 guys are fired up for that and they’re going to go out and race to win no matter what they’re telling everybody.”

Blaney wins with blazing restart BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Ryan Blaney bolted past Kyle Busch on a restart with six laps remaining and won Friday night’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway for his second career victory. It was a surprising finish after Busch, seeking to become the first driver to win four consecutive races in the series on the 0.533-mile oval, had dominated, especially on restarts. Battling at various times against the youngest and brightest stars in the series, Busch generally made quick work of them. He led 161 of the 300 laps and seemed poised for his record 67th victory in the series. But on the final restart, he was holding back, as was his prerogative as the leader, until Blaney suddenly darted to the lead from the inside line, cleared Busch’s car and sailed off to the victory. “Kyle didn’t go on that last restart,” Blaney said, referring to the marked area on the track wall inside which the leader is supposed to accelerate, with the rest of the field following his lead. “He said his tires were jacked up and we got to the second line and we just went,” Blaney said. Busch managed to get close to Blaney’s bumper, but that was it. “I was driving my guts out trying to stay ahead of him,” Blaney said. Busch, meanwhile, seethed like he had something taken away from him. “My rear tires weren’t on the race track and I couldn’t accelerate,” he said, suggesting Regan Smith, restarting behind him, had lifted Busch’s car off the track to eliminate his traction. “NASCAR doesn’t police

it and so everybody keeps jacking around on it and one of these days I’m just going to lock all four (tires) down and stack the whole field up,” Busch said. Chase Elliott, who finished third, saw it differently. “I saw Kyle make a rare mistake,” Elliott said, adding that Busch was spinning his tires. Elliott finished third and remained the series points leader by 13 over Smith. Ty Dillon finished fourth, followed by Smith. The night began with a 1 hour, 20 minute rain delay after a shower arrived just after driver introductions. The last half of the race was run with teams watching radar as a storm moved in, and it was a total washout for Elliott Sadler, too. The Virginia native began the night third in points and seeking his third Nationwide victory on the track that bills itself “the world’s fastest half-mile.” Sadler was running in the top five until his problems began. He was involved in three of the night’s 10 caution flags, the first after an accident with Timmy Hill, and limped to the finish in 29th place. He fell from 16 points off the lead to 42 behind. Earlier, Kyle Larson and Busch dueled extensively, and Larson was the only one able to get the better of Busch, until Blaney slipped into him and Larson spun into the wall, ruining his night. “I thought he was just going to chase me to the top, but instead he ran us into the wall,” Larson said. “I know Ryan’s a good kid. It’s just frustrating. It’s Bristol. It’s just short-track racing.” Larson wound up 26th despite leading 46 laps.

The brothers Koch

Define a company culture

4 Kochs took genes, money in different directions BY NANCY BENAC The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — They are an outsized force in modern American politics, the best-known brand of the big money era, yet still something of a mystery to those who cash their checks. Meet the Koch brothers. (Pronounced like the cola.) Perhaps the first thing you need to know is that there are four of them. Charles is the steady, driven one. He’s grounded in the Kansas soil of their birth. David is his outgoing younger brother. He’s a New Yorker now and pronounces himself forever changed by a near-death experience. William is David’s freespirited twin, a self-described contrarian whose pursuits beyond business include sailing, collecting things and suing people, including his brothers. And then there’s Frederick, the oldest, who’s as likely to turn up in Monte Carlo as at his apartment on New York’s Fifth Avenue. He doesn’t have much to do with the rest of the lot. They’re all fabulously wealthy, all donate lavishly to charity, all tall — Frederick is the shortest at 6-foot-2 — and all are prostate cancer survivors. Beyond that, there are plenty of differences. Charles and David are the billionaire businessmen who are pouring millions into politics. Bill and Freddie, as they’re known in the family,

cut their ties to the family business decades ago and don’t display the same passion to change the world.

Q: What is meant by “company culture” and how is it important to my business? A: Company culture is defined as the shared values, beliefs and practices of company DOWN TO employees including management. This is not the written policies, procedures or strategic plan; it’s the actions and attitudes of each individARLENE ual who is a SOTO part of the organization. Knowing the culture in any business is important to ensure the long term health of the business. Company culture changes as the employees in the business change, as management makes strategic decisions and as the business environment shifts. The most successful businesses have an adaptive culture. A study co-sponsored by Crawford International and HR.com in Palo Alto, Calif., in 2006 found that “companies that create adaptive corporate cultures outperform companies with non-adaptive cultures by a factor of 900 to 1 as measured by long term net income and stock price growth.” An adaptive culture is defined as one that is aligned with the business mission and strategic goals. How can a business owner assess their company culture? Look for common employee behaviors. How do employees act with customers and with each other? Listen with an open mind to employees, suppliers, customers, the media and members of the community. What is being said about the company in public, on social media and in the hallways of the business? What employee actions are rewarded or punished? Are sales growing or shrinking? Once the assessment is completed, the next step is to determine what you want the company culture to look like in the future. Review corporate mission, vision, values and goals to make sure the company culture you are inventing is supportive of them. Develop an action plan considering what is working well and what needs to be improved. Brainstorm changes in formal policies and business practices that enhance the desired improvements. Make sure to include employees at all levels of the organization in the brainstorming sessions. Develop models anticipating the changes and communicate with all employees about the expected outcomes. Monitor the results of any changes that are initiated to see if they are impacting the company culture in a positive way. Company culture cannot be dictated by management, only modeled. Reward behaviors that align with strategic goals. Celebrate accomplishments and communicate regularly with all employees about the progress towards reaching the strategic goals of the company. The bottom line: to change the culture of a business, leaders must start acting differently and enlist enough support within the organization that others act differently as well. Arlene M. Soto is the director of the SWOCC Small Business Development Center, www.BizCenter.org. She can be reached at 541-756-6445, asoto@socc.edu, or at 2455 Maple Leaf, North Bend, OR 97459.

Decorating touches help retreats sparkle DALLAS (AP) — From airy beach houses filled with light to rustic retreats tucked into the mountains, vacation homes can lead to inspired decorating. “You love that place, that’s why you’re there. That’s the place you want to go to relax,” says Dallas interior designer Jan Showers, author most recently of “Glamorous Retreats” (Harry N. Abrams). “You want it very user-friendly.” Homes detailed in her book include a seaside cottage in Nantucket with decorating touches in cool blues and greens; shells that the family collected are placed throughout the house. An artist’s getaway in Marin County, California, features the owner’s photorealist work, and a studio that is a riot of color, with shelves filled with books and antique toys. The master bedroom of a Texas lake

house takes inspiration from the colors of the water, with walls painted in what Showers describes in her book as a “pond green.” Showers, whose signature style is adding glamour to interiors, talked to The Associated Press about decorating vacation homes. (The interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.) AP: How do you add glamorous touches to a retreat that is more casual than a year-round home? Showers: My glamour is a very relaxed glamour. It’s not about satin, furs and all that stuff. My idea of glamour is Katharine Hepburn in a black turtleneck and black pants and a red cardigan sweater. I think most of my clients love the fact that I use really fun glass, and maybe it’s glass that’s not as expensive or as important as they’d use

in their primary residence. But we do use groups of glass because it brings such an interesting element to a room. I’m a big believer in everything looking comfortable. And to me, if it’s comfortable and inviting, that’s glamorous. Another way is good lighting. There’s nothing worse than overhead lighting. Lamps add to the glamour of a room because everybody looks better. AP: How would you suggest sprucing up a retreat that looks tired? Showers: An easy, fast way to change things up — one of the easiest — is pillows. There are so many different fabulous pillows, and they’re not expensive. It’s nice to do seasonally. If you go to your retreat in the summer, you may want linen pillows that are lighter colors, more summery, and if it’s winter, you might want

some plaid pillows. Another thing that’s easy to change is throws. I love throws — they just sort of say “take a nap.” And now there are all kinds of wonderful rugs at all kinds of prices, and washable. It can change your whole look in a room to do a new rug. AP: What about outdoor spaces? Showers: People now want their outdoor spaces to be like their indoor spaces. There are even outside air conditioners — you can find anything to be outdoors. You’ve got to have outdoor fabrics. There are even outdoor lamps now.

Summer veggies were just the first round BY LEE REICH The Associated Press In the heat of summer, it’s hard to imagine that the weather will ever be cool again. And with dry weather it’s hard to imagine it becoming rainy again.

But of course the weather does change, and you’ve got to plan what vegetables to grow for the cool and rainy days ahead that sap the vitality from tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and other summer vegetables. Growing fall vegetables is

like having another whole growing season in the garden. Cool weather brings out the best flavor from vegetables such as kale, broccoli and carrots. And the harvest season is long; fall vegetables just sit pretty, awaiting harvest at your leisure. In spring and

summer, cool-season vegetables like spinach, radishes and lettuce bolt, sending up a flower stalk and becoming poor for eating if not harvested quickly enough.

Commit yourself Before beginning to plan for fall vegetables, you need to make three commitments. The first is to maintain soil fertility. Remember, you are getting another growing season out of your garden, so apply fertilizer and liberal amounts of compost or other organic matter to the soil. Fall’s predominantly leafy vegetables are heavy feeders. Second, don’t forget to water. Seedlings beginning life in summer often cannot get enough water for themselves. Natural rainfall and cooler temperatures eventually will lessen or eliminate watering chores as fall approaches. And third: Weed. Summer weeds compete with vegetable plants for water, space and nutrients.

You know who’s good, who’s bad It’s easy to tell who’s a good neighbor. A good neighbor shovels his or her walks — maybe sprinkles a little salt after a sleet storm so you don’t slip when you walk the dog. A good neighbor rakes up leaves that might blow into your yard. A good neighbor offers to lend a hand when you haul home a truckload of firewood. Or shingles. Or patio blocks. A good neighbor takes care of your dog — or cat, or canary, or turtle, or hermit crab — while you’re on vacation. He or she also brings in the mail and at least makes a pass with a snowblower as the situation warrants. A good neighbor shares flowers from his or her garden and always is happy to take two or three or 35 zucchinis off your hands. A good neighbor invites you over for coffee or a beer — depending on the time of day. A bad neighbor: ■ Has raucous parties on Wednesday night (and Thursday morning). ■ Keeps his or her trash bins at the curb all week — and occasionally adds mattresses and rump-sprung sofas to the pile. ■ Has three very lonely and loud hounds that get out of their backyard kennel only during hunting season. ■ Butchers deer in his or her … well, pretty much anywhere. ■ Repairs sprint cars in the driveway. ■ Parks on the street in front of your house because there always are sprint cars in the driveway. ■ Has been ignoring the paint flaking off the side of his or her house for the past 20 years. ■ Treats the entire street to loud examples of sexually provocative marital disharmony, generally during or Wednesday after night/Thursday morning parties. ■ Apparently has decided the Christmas lights might as well stay up. The bulbs all burned out long ago. ■ Had the same idea about the inflatable Santa until it blew away during that wind storm last spring. ■ Never came over to claim the inflatable Santa that wound up in your maple tree. ■ Never brings back your lawnmower, or drill, or barbecue, or … well, you get the idea.

■ Never mows the meadow that passes for his or her yard — even though your mower is in his or her garage. ■ Displays an HOUSE ever-burgeoning collection of garden gnomes. Or flamingos. Or windmills. ■ Is especially proud of STEVE the display BATIE that features a gnome scrunched down behind a windmill with a toy rifle, taking potshots at the flamingos. ■ Obviously thinks a thick coat of mud and street tar will protect the paint on his or her truck — although it’s possible the mud and tar are, in fact, holding the rust in place. ■ Stops in the middle of

WORKS

the street to carry on loud and sexually provocative discussions with his or her buddies, spouse and perplexed passersby. ■ Has created a backyard bunny habitat with wrecked sprint cars, rusted bed springs, musk thistle, volunteer cedar trees and what may or may not be a baby buggy (it’s hard to tell under the bindweed). ■ Has never, despite his or her deer-hunting prowess and obvious love of the sport, slain even one lone bunny. ■ But does delight in listening to the hounds howl at them from their kennel while he or she drinks beer on the crumbling slab of concrete that passes for a patio. ■ And, in case it wasn’t clear before, never invites you over for a beer.

Timing is important To figure out when to sow any fall vegetable, look on the seed packet for the “days to maturity.” Cool weather and shorter days dramatically slow growth as fall approaches, so count on any vegetable being fully grown and ready for harvest around mid-September in northern

gardens, and a few weeks or months later the further south you garden. For vegetables that usually are transplanted, such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage, add three weeks, which is how long they need to grow to transplant size. In northern climes, it’s too late to sow fall broccoli, endive, cabbage, carrots, beets and parsley, all of which need a relatively long season to mature. Mark your calendar for next year. Enough time remains, though, even in northern regions, for a second wave of planting of such vegetables as lettuce, Chinese cabbage, kale and collards. Check the days to maturity for Chinese cabbages; there are many varieties, and quicker maturing ones will bolt if sown too early. This sowing of lettuce should be the first of a few. Sow small amounts every couple of weeks and you will have a continuous supply of tender leaves for your salad bowl. Include some extra coldhardy varieties, such as Winter Density, Rouge d’Hiver and Arctic King. Vegetables in this second wave of planting for fall might follow your earlier plantings of bush beans or sweet corn, or you can sow in seed flats for transplanting three weeks later. The nice thing about using transplants is that there is no need

A final sowing, for your soil The final crop for the fall vegetable garden — sown any time before the end of September — is not for you, but for the soil. This would be a so-called cover crop, usually rye grain or oats, sown to protect the soil from rain and wind, conserve nutrients and improve tilth. Legumes, such as peas or alfalfa, add nitrogen to the soil via symbiotic bacteria in their roots and garner it from the atmosphere. A cover crop also looks nice, a verdant blanket over the ground late into fall. Local seed racks are often cleared out after midsummer. If this is the case, or if you seek varieties that are unavailable locally, you can order seeds by mail.

to plant a whole row at once — you can tuck plants in here and there as space becomes available. Later this month, when you have gathered up mature onions and perhaps dug up cucumber vines that finally succumbed to bacterial wilt, it’s time for yet a third wave of fall planting. Sow directly in the ground seeds of spinach, mustard, arugula and turnips. Also plant small radishes, the kind you normally sow in spring. And consider trying some offbeat fall greens, such as mache, miner’s lettuce and shungiku, an edible chrysanthemum.

Religion Ohio diocese discourages ALS ice bucket challenge CINCINNATI (AP) — A Roman Catholic diocese in Ohio is discouraging its 113 schools from participating in the ice bucket challenge to benefit the ALS Association, saying the group’s funding of embryonic stem cell research is “in direct conflict with Catholic teaching.” Jim Rigg, superintendent of Catholic schools for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, told the schools in a letter Tuesday to “immediately cease” any plans to raise funds for the association or

to instead direct donations to another organization that combats ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease that causes paralysis and almost certain death. The Catholic Church relates the use of embryonic stem cells in research to abortion and says it violates the sanctity of human life. The use of adult stem cells in research is not forbidden by Catholic teaching. “We certainly appreciate the compassion that has

caused people all over the country, certainly including many Catholics, to be interacting and engaging in a fun way to support ALS research,” diocese spokesman Dan Adriacco said Thursday. “But it’s a well-established moral principle that not only the ends be good, but the means must be good, too.” The diocese said schools could participate in the ice bucket challenge, but any money raised should be directed to groups like the John Paul II Medical

Research Institute in Iowa City, Iowa, which conducts “pro-life driven” research, according to its website. Carrie Munk, a spokeswoman for the ALS Association, said her group largely funds adult stem-cell research but does fund one study involving embryonic stem cells using money from one specific donor. She said all donors to the ALS Association can stipulate where their money goes and can ask that it not pay for embryonic stem cell

research. The group hasn’t heard of any other Catholic dioceses in the country recommending against donating to the group, Munk said. Adriacco said the Cincinnati diocese’s superintendent wrote his directive to the schools after consulting with the Catholic Conference of Ohio. The Philadelphiabased National Catholic Bioethics Center affirmed the decision Thursday, he said. Spokespeople for both groups didn’t immediately

return calls for comment Thursday. Don Clemmer, a spokesman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said that the group views the Cincinnati diocese’s actions as “a local matter” and that his organization has not issued any directives to its bishops discouraging donations to the ALS Association. Since the ice bucket challenge took over the Internet, the ALS Association received $41.8 million in donations from July 29 to Thursday.

The dirty dishes dilemma comment As you might imagine, I get a lot of mail. And since I could never respond to all your messages, questions and comments EVERYDAY p e rso n CHEAPSKATE ally, I love to reach into the mail bag once each w e e k selecting some of your letters to answer Mary r i g h t Hunt here. Dear Mary: Is it cheaper to wash dishes by hand since I wash most of my pots and pans by hand anyway, or use the dishwasher? Thanks. Audrey Dear Audrey: According to the folks at EnergyStar.gov, using a dishwasher versus hand washing can cut your utilities bills by $40 or more annually. That’s because washing by hand uses more hot water, which is both a waste of the water (it takes 5,000 more gallons in a year to wash by hand) plus the energy to heat it. That’s just how efficient dishwashers are these days. But that’s not all. Using a dishwasher will save you about 230 hours of personal time in a year–nearly 10 days! And if your dishwasher boosts water temperatures to 140 F., (Energy Star rated machines do), you enjoy improved disinfection compared to hand washing. That means better health, fewer doctor visits. Dear Mary: I love some of the products you recommended in your makeup regime (“How I Stopped the M.A.C. Attacks”). I purchased the Prestige Eyeliner and love it but I can’t figure out how to extend it (sharpen?). I would appreciate your help. Doris D e a r D o r i s : Prestige Waterproof Eyeliner comes in two versions. The pencil version can be sharpened with a standard-size pencil sharpener. The “automatic” version is retractable and never needs sharpening. Just twist to roll the product up as you would a mechanical pencil. Glad you’re enjoying this eyeliner. It really is a fabulous, inexpensive option. Dear Mary: How can I stop buying stuff I can’t afford? Honestly, I can go to Target determined to buy only a few things I need, and end up with $100 of stuff in my cart. It’s disgusting. Maybe I need to turn myself in to the shopping police. Thanks. Jennifer Dear Jennifer: Well, you have a friend in me. I know exactly what you’re talking about because I have that same “gene.” Here’s how I got that little monster under control. 1) Cash only. Do not go to Target (or any store) with any plastic or a checkbook in tow. Take only cash. Now, unless you plan to rob the place, there is no way you can spend more than you have in cash and that will change everything. You won’t be quite so cavalier with throwing things into your cart. You’ll pay a lot more attention to price tags, too, to avoid potential embarrassment at the checkout. 2) Don’t wander. Plan your route so you go directly to the location of the items you need, then get out of there. 3) Wear sunglasses. Seriously. Indoors nothing looks that great through sunglasses. 4) Make-a-wish. Take a long a small notepad. If despite items 1-3 above you happen to see things that are not your list–things that you really want, think you need or must have–put them on the list. When you get home you can make plans for how to save for those items. Funny, once you’ve saved for the things on your makea-wish list, you may discover you can live without them. That’s cool. You’ll have a little cash stashed for something more important. 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.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 24, 2014 You can’t start at the top. Learn all the ins and outs of your objective first. You won’t see good results if you are too impatient to listen to the voices of experience. Steady progress will ensure that you get the rewards you are after. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t let negativity take over your spirit. Implement simple changes that help you feel good about the way you look and what you have to offer. Focus on your needs. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Be discreet. Someone is trying to impede your progress by watching your every move. Share little, and work quietly on your own until you are ready to present what you have to offer. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Make yourself and others feel good by offering help to a cause that you believe in. The use of your talent and insight will bring you into contact with people who are like-minded. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — A misunderstanding will occur if someone tries to twist your words. Be clear and concise in your conversations and listen carefully to how others respond to what you say. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You will feel anxious and confused. Take a short vacation to take your mind off your troubles. Your outlook will improve with a change of scenery. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There is someone who needs your help. Your offer of assistance will be greatly appreciated. You will learn a lot from the experience if you are openhearted. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Share your dreams and desires with someone special. It’s a great day to rekindle an existing romance or to start a new relationship. Enjoy what life has to offer. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’ll be hard to beat. Get involved in competitions that will provide both physical and mental stimulation. The resulting rush will inspire you to take on a new project. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You should pay attention to minor

health complaints. Taking care of personal, financial and medical matters will ease stress and help you move forward with greater enthusiasm. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Someone you know will be shorttempered. Take any opportunity that comes along to get out and do something that you find engaging — this will lessen the friction. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Entertainment or group activities will boost your morale and confidence. Meaningful friendships and romantic relationships will improve your personal life. Make adjustments to the way you live or where. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t let others hold you back. Resolve pending issues and find a way to improve your earning potential. You have the resources, so do what you do best. MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 2014 A friendly attitude will lead to interesting proposals that will result in greater prosperity if you are prudent and practical. Exercise high standards regarding your personal and career goals. The path may grow indistinct once in a while, but if you concentrate on what’s important to you, success will follow. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — A day that starts full of promise may end up being less than satisfactory. A rash decision could turn out badly. Be mindful of the deals you are offered. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You may be sent on a wild goose chase. Make sure to do your homework. Unless you get agreements in writing, you could end up with less than you bargained for. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Broaden your horizons, and acquaint yourself with clubs or groups in your area. You will discover that you share a passion with someone you encounter at an event. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Channel your energy into completing tasks and honoring
