Work group reverses decision on opt-out provision

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

COOS BAY — A group of area leaders decided it was right the first time when it comes to Jordan Cove’s annual property tax exemption renewal.

Last month, the Community Enhancement Plan work group considered a clause that would have given Jordan Cove the opportunity to let their property tax exemption expire after seven years, halting community service fee payments and ending the CEP.

On Monday, the group decided the first draft of the agreement between the four Bay Area Enterprise Zone sponsors was better: Make Jordan Cove commit to the full 15 years of community service fee payments.

The renewal provision now reads: “The zone sponsors hereby set the period of the property tax exemption for purposes of ORS 285C.409(1)(c) to be 15 consecutive years, notwithstanding any shorter period that may be allowed by law.”

But North Bend City Attorney Mike Stebbins, who drafted the

Meetings The CEP work group will meet again at 1 p.m. Oct. 6, in Coos Bay City Council chambers, 500 Central Ave. The South Coast Community Foundation board will meet at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 10 ,at South Coast Education Service District, 1350 Teakwood Ave., in Coos Bay.

agreement, was concerned that this “does not put an end date to the property tax exemption period.”

“The paragraph simply allows an automatic renewal with no final end to the property tax exemption,”

Stebbins wrote to Margaret Barber at Coos Curry Douglas Business Development Corporation. “I fear that this runs a foul (sic) of the state statutes. I do not know what has been discussed with Jordan Cove about an end date, but this should be negotiated and written into this paragraph.”

A long-term rural enterprise zone property tax exemption can last seven to 15 years, according to state statute, but the proposed agreement with Jordan Cove would lock them in for the full 15 years of community service fee payments.

“The original thought was that would be something necessary to negotiate this contract,” work group chair Jennifer Groth said of the draft giving Jordan Cove an opportunity to not renew its property tax exemption. “My understanding is that’s no longer the case.”

Instead of Jordan Cove having to start a renewal process each year after the seven-year mark, the agreement will automatically renew unless one of the enterprise zone sponsors makes a move to end it.

4,500 attend Brown funeral

Mourners urge black Americans to take action ■

about $30 per month over the normal operating costs of the system,” Nicholson said. He anticipated an increase of $15 per month for the average household by the project’s completion.

The existing plant treats about 1 million gallons per day, while the new one will be able to do 4.8 million gallons per day. In addition, the new plant “will utilize activated sludge to remove biological matter from the wastewater,” Nicholson said. The current one “uses a trickling filter, which is much less effective.”

Coquille began construction of its wastewater plant in 2011, said Kevin Urban, public works/planning director for the city. He said they

ST. LOUIS — The mourners filled an enormous church to remember Michael Brown — recalling him as a “gentle giant,” aspiring rapper and recent high school graduate on his way to a technical college.

But the funeral that unfolded Monday was about much more than the black 18-year-old who lay in the closed casket after being shot to death by a white police officer. The emotional service sought to consecrate Brown’s death as another in the long history of the civil rights movement and implored black Americans to change their protest chants into legislation and law.

“Show up at the voting booths.

Let your voices be heard, and let everyone know that we have had enough of all of this,” said Eric Davis, one of Brown’s cousins.

The Rev. Al Sharpton called for a movement to clean up police forces and the communities they serve.

“We’re not anti-police. We respect police. But those police that are wrong need to be dealt with just like those in our community that are wrong need to be dealt with,” Sharpton said.

Two uncles remembered how Brown had once predicted that someday the whole world would know his name.

“He did not know he was offering up a divine prophecy,” Bernard Ewing said.

More than 4,500 mourners filled Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis for the service, which at times seemed like a cross between a gospel revival and a rock concert. It began with upbeat music punctuated by clapping.

Some people danced in place.

The crowd included the parents of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed African-American 17-year-old fatally shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida, along with a cousin of Emmett Till, a 14year-old murdered by several white men while visiting Mississippi in 1955. Till’s killing galvanized the civil rights movement.

Also in attendance were several White House aides, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, moviemaker Spike Lee, entertainer Sean Combs and some children of the Rev. Martin Luther King.

The Rev. Charles Ewing, the uncle who delivered the eulogy, said Brown “prophetically spoke his demise.” And now his blood is “crying from the ground. Crying

Wastewater facility upgrades continue throughout region

BY EMILY THORNTON The World

SOUTH COAST — Several cities in the region are getting some much needed wastewater upgrades.

In Myrtle Point, construction crews broke ground on the city’s new wastewater treatment facility in July and plan to complete the earthwork on the project by mid-September.

Construction won’t start until next year, after the city receives bids from companies.

Following the Department of Environmental Quality’s standards wasn’t an easy venture.

“It’s not a simple process,” said Barbara Carter, mayor of Myrtle Point.

The DEQ keeps changing its

requirements, spurring the need for updated wastewater facilities locally, she said.

“The new wastewater treatment plant is necessary in order to meet chemical and biological treatment limits for the water that is ultimately discharged into the South Fork Coquille River, adjacent to the site,” said Darin Nicholson, city manager.

The city received a $7.8 million loan and a $1.7 million grant from USDA Rural Development. The city also kicked in $684,000 for designing and engineering.

In anticipation of the plant, the city gradually began raising sewer rates 50 cents per year over the past 10 years, Nicholson said. The cost from the “construction and engineering loans is expected to require

DEATHS

WASHINGTON — The Veterans Affairs Department says investigators have found no proof that delays in care caused any deaths at a VA hospital in Phoenix, deflating an explosive allegation that helped expose a troubled health care system in which veterans waited months for appointments while employees falsified records to cover up the delays.

Revelations that as many as 40 veterans died while awaiting care at the Phoenix VA hospital rocked the agency last spring, bringing to light scheduling problems and allegations of misconduct at other hospitals as well. The scandal led to the resignation of former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki. In July, Congress approved spending an additional $16 billion to help shore up the system.

The VA’s Office of Inspector General has been investigating the delays for months and shared a draft report of its findings with VA officials.

In a written memorandum about the report, VA Secretary Robert A. McDonald said, “It is important to note that while OIG’s case reviews in the report document substantial delays in care, and quality-of-care concerns, OIG was unable to conclusively assert that the absence of timely quality care caused the death of these veterans.”

McDonald acknowledged that the VA is “in the midst of a very serious crisis.” He also promised to follow all recommendations from the inspector general’s report.

“We sincerely apologize to all

and turned it into a community center, where groups can meet and children can take art lessons. It raised the money to build cabins at Powers County Park and obtained funds for the translator antenna that supplies over-the-air television to Powers. It organizes children’s activities at White Cedar Days, puts on a fall music festival called Blackberry Jam, and organizes a townwide garage sale.

The group funded a children’s mural on the Powers Library and a park and picnic shelter downtown, also decorated by children.

Much of the organization’s funding comes from its thrift store at 418 Second Ave., open 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Tuesday and Saturday. The thrift store also offers kids a free back-to-school shopping day and a free Christmas shopping day.

For The World

Volunteers enrich every aspect of life on the South Coast, and Powers Action Team is a great example.

Originally called the Community Response Team, the group started in Powers around 1990 to organize the community’s participation in the Tour de Fronds, a cycling event that at the time extended from Glendale in Douglas County to Powers. When Glendale and other participating organizations pulled out, Powers Action Team took over, changed the route and revitalized the event.

Powers Action Team’s projects benefit both children and adults. It acquired Ross Hall, at 370 Third Ave., from the Royal Neighbors of America fraternal organization

Welcome respite from the battle Our view Programs like Reel Recovery help cancer patients with the mental strain, a battle in and of itself.

What do you think?

The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

Despite the remarkable advances medical science has accomplished in our lifetimes to combat cancer, the word itself continues to carry with it an underlying sense of dread. A physician merely utters the word and our minds fill with fear and helplessness.

Coping with those thoughts can be as difficult as fighting the disease itself.

That’s why the program Reel Recovery is so important, as evidenced by our story about a fly-fishing outing earlier this month in Elkton.

The national organization was started in 2003 by a

group of fly-fishers, inspired by a fishing friend’s battle with brain cancer. The idea is to give men with all forms of cancer a kind of respite from the day-to-day focus on their disease and surrender to the tranquility of a wilderness stream.

Paired with program volunteers who are waging their own cancer battle, participants enjoy nature and get to unload their thoughts. It’s a kind of natural therapy.

“We of course believe in the recuperative powers of being on the water fly fishing and discussing the affects of life changing cancer,” says

Loran Wiese, Oregon Reel Recovery coordinator.

You could try to tell a cancer patient the annual statistics from the American Cancer Society and the Centers for Disease Control that show modest success in conquering the disease.

Cancer survival rates continually climb, especially in the last decade. Incidence of diagnosis continue to decline. Medicine is making progress.

But those facts don’t completely mask the singular stigma that is the “C” word, a stigma based in the reality that cancer has become one

of the leading causes of death in America in the last 100 years, second only to heart disease.

Fighting cancer is a burden that no one should have to bear alone. That’s the value of programs like Reel Recovery.

“People come back here (to the lodge) and they’ll say I’ve had cancer for five years, this is the first time I didn’t think about it all day long.

They make our day when they say that,” Wiese says.

Dems beg for more money I’ve been getting a lot of email from Democratic fundraisers lately. They seem very worried about November’s elections.

First came the highly publicized “Impeachment Red Alert” campaign, in which the Democratic congressional committee warned that Republicans will impeach President Obama if they win control of the House and Senate. Though much ridiculed, the “Impeachment Red Alert” effort was a big winner,pulling in $2.1 million in small donations in a single weekend.

Despite that success, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s mood seemed to blacken in subsequent days as she asked for more and more money. The subject line of Pelosi’s next appeal was “Kiss all hope goodbye.” Her message was that all will be lost for the remainder of Obama’s term if Republican House Speaker John Boehner remains in power.

Then came a missive with the subject line “Byron, I’m pleading,” in which Pelosi pronounced herself “disgusted” by the prospect of Republicans “dragging the president’s good name through the mud.”

Later came “I’m pleadBYRON ing (again)” and “Bad news YORK to share” and “Please, Byron.” More than a little Columnist desperation had crept into Pelosi’s tone. Each message noted that I hadn’t sent any money, and the minority leader’s disappointment seemed to deepen by the day.

Vice President Joe Biden got in the game with a few emails, although he didn’t grovel like Pelosi. Finally, Obama himself began emailing. With everything the president of the United States has on his plate right now, you’d think he’d have more pressing things to do. Apparently not.

The president’s role is to apply a little discipline to uncooperative prospective donors like me. “Nancy Pelosi has emailed you,” Obama wrote. “Joe Biden has emailed you.

And now I’ve emailed you. We wouldn’t all be asking if it wasn’t so important.” The message was clear: Get off your butt and give us some money.

Hoping to get a better look at Democrats’ small-donor technique, I finally clicked the $5 contribution box on President Obama’s email.

You’d think that would have made them happy. But no.

First they tried to get me to increase my contribution. I declined. Then they asked that I make my contribution an automatic monthly donation. I declined. And then, when it looked like $5 was all they would get, they asked for a “tip” for the pro-Democratic fundraising group ActBlue.

“We’re building an army of small dollar donors to defeat the Koch brothers and their fat checkbooks,” they said. “Your tip of 10 percent or more will help us build the next generation of our tools so the Kochs don’t have the final say.”

I still said no, but at the end of all the hectoring, I hit “contribute” to send the $5.

A few minutes later, I learned my contribution had been accepted. Then came a “priorities survey,” in which Democrats wanted to know whether I thought the most compelling reason to remove Republicans from power was 1) They shut down the government; 2) They gave tax breaks to the Koch brothers; or 3) They voted to defund Planned Parenthood. I didn’t answer.

At the very least, I thought my $5 would buy a tiny respite from the crush of email. It did not.About an hour later came a note from Pelosi with the subject line “Must Read (DON’T DELETE).”

“President Obama wouldn’t have emailed you earlier if we didn’t need your help,” Pelosi wrote, apparently trying to suggest that Daddy would be angry with me if I didn’t give more.

Can this continue until November?

Yes, it can. But if Democrats already sound this frantic in August, it’s going to be a very long fall.

Letters to the Editor LNG: We need to heed warnings Putting two bullets into the gun for Russian Roulette is how someone described building the LNG terminal in our earthquake/tsunami zone. I hope Emergency Manager Michael Murphy takes time to think that through and to contact our geologists at OSU. Dr. Goldfinger and Dr. Trehu were very clear about their opinions that it should not be built here. Mr. Murphy said that the gas plant would be the least of our worries when we experience an event. This remark, printed in The World, was glib and even could be said to be careless for a paid professional.

Our yearly risk assessment is around 40 percent, but that is rising every year, since we are already overdue. This information comes from the OSU Cascadia study that took 13 years to complete. Every politician and person tasked to keep these communities safe, should be rethinking their support for Jordan Cove, and that includes the Port of Coos Bay commissioners. The study came out in 2012, and the geologists made their statements this summer.

Those in charge have the information and advise, so now that they know better, they should do better.

But, the sad truth is that with dollar signs in their eyes and dazzling promises from Veresen, no one wants to acknowledge the

danger to the public or the environment. None will discuss how much this could cost and who will pay for it, if there is an explosion with or without the earthquake/tsunami.

Veresen is still trying to slap some lipstick on this pig to sell it. Perhaps that is why they are in court with EFG, who possibly wants a cut if it is sold to the Chinese. You know, the same China that sent us that pet food, wall board, baby formula and toothpaste. It is not acceptable that we absorb the risk for a foreign company to send foreign gas to foreign nations. To our paid and unpaid leaders, thank you for your service and please protect us!

Can we wait to debate Hilary?

I once knew a curmudgeonly physician whose wife practiced family therapy. In her off hours, she often counseled a small army of girlfriends through romantic entanglements. One evening at dinner, the grumpy doctor decided he’d heard enough secondhand tales of woe.

“Look,” he said. “I know people have got to (bleep). It was covered in the medical school curriculum. But they certainly don’t have to talk about it to the exclusion of all else, do they?”

That’s my attitude toward the 2016 presidential race. I’m assuming that Hillary Clinton’s running because of how ostentatiously she’s not made up her mind. By sitting tight, she basipotential freezes cally Democratic rivals in place, passively using her lead in opinion polls to prevent others from raising money.

Otherwise, can’t we please, please wait until 2016 to obsess about it around the clock? There will be three World Series, two NBA championships and a couple of NCAA football seasons between now and then.

Politically speaking, we’ll be in a different world.

But no, we’re not going to get even an August recess if the Washington infotainment industry gets its way. Witness the recent stir over Clinton’s illadvised interview with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, a colloquy quickly cartoonized into a rebuke of President

that Obama never actually happened.

For now, the only important thing is to recognize how these media quasi-events take shape. GENE Guided

by LYONS Goldberg, headline writ- Columnist ers focused on a throwaway line characterized by the inimitable Maureen Dowd as “a cheap shot at President Obama ... calling him a wimp just as he was preparing to order airstrikes against ISIS.” Clinton said this: “Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle.”

Actually, President Obama’s version of the slogan was earthier. However, turning Hillary’s paraphrase into an insult required ignoring almost everything she said about his administration’s foreign policy.

Why had Obama used the phrase?

“I think he was trying to communicate to the American people that he’s not going to do something crazy,” Clinton said.

“I’ve sat in too many rooms with the president. He’s thoughtful; he’s incredibly smart, and able to analyze a lot of different factors that are all moving at the same time. I think he is cautious because he knows what he

inherited, both the two wars and the economic front, and he has expended a lot of capital and energy trying to pull us out of the hole we’re in. So I think that that’s a political message.”

Does that sound like a slam to you?

Elsewhere, Clinton added, “It was stupid to do what we did in Iraq and to have no plan about what to do after we did it. That was really stupid.”

She’d voted for the Iraq war, you may recall. Dowd certainly remembered. The erratic New York Times columnist bitterly blamed Hillary for the death of her friend Michael Kelly, the first “embedded” journalist to die there. Dowd neglected to mention Kelly’s own September 2002 column calling Al Gore “vile,” “con“wretched,” temptible,” and worse for opposing the invasion.

I guess she forgot.

But did Hillary really argue that if Obama had armed Syrian “moderates” as she’d recommended as secretary of state, that the United States wouldn’t have to be bombing ISIS fanatics in Iraq today — blowing our own tanks and APCs to smithereens that they captured from fleeing Iraqi soldiers?

That was another headline take from The Atlantic interview. Once again, no, she did not. Indeed, she reminded Goldberg that the chapter on Syria in her recent book was entitled “A Wicked Problem.”

“I can’t sit here today,” Clinton said, “and say that if we had done what I recommended, (then-U.S. and what Ambassador) Robert Ford recommended, that we’d be in a demonstrably different place ... I don’t think we can claim to know.”

Obama’s position was that the idea of an effective fighting force of Syrian “moderates” is essentially a fantasy. He said exactly that to “CBS Morning News” last May, although he’s since asked Congress for $500 million to help train and equip this fantasy army — money he’s unlikely to get.

James Fallows argues that people who thought the U.S. could stage-manage the Syrian civil war were deluding themselves: “Yeah, we should have ‘done something’ in Syria to prevent the rise of ISIS. But the U.S. did a hell of a lot of somethings in Iraq over the past decade, with a lot more leverage than it could possibly have had in Syria. And the result of the somethings in Iraq was ... ?”

Well, it was the mad fanatics of ISIS. Actually, The Atlantic interview is fascinating, if not for the ballyhooed reasons. Hillary Clinton has provocative things to say about U.S. foreign policy — some alarming, and others more about political positioning than anything else.

Come 2016, there will be plenty of time to discuss them.

State Ring from broken engagement gets another chance to shine DEAR ABBY: I was engaged several years ago, but the engagement didn’t last. We broke up and I gave him back his ring. We remain close friends, however, and hang out at least once a week.

I have been dating another guy for a couple of years, and we’re thinking about getting engaged. I am wondering if it would be improper to ask my ex if we could buy my old ring from him. It was — and still is — my “dream ring,” and I know my ex has kept it in the glove box of his car ever since I gave it back to him.

DEAR I don’t want to commit a faux pas, but it seems silly to buy another identical ring. What do you think?

— JEANNE HEADED PHILLIPS D O W N THE AISLE DEAR HEADED DOWN THE AISLE: If you haven’t discussed this with your current boyfriend, you should. It might bother him to see you wearing an engagement ring that was given to you by someone else.

If he says it’s OK, I can’t see why you shouldn’t ask your former fiance if he’d be willing to part with it.

Frankly, he might be glad to get the money.

DEAR ABBY: I have a love problem I could use your help with. I go to college, and I met an amazing girl, “Lorena,” here. She’s very religious, which I like about her. We have been talking, but I’m afraid to ask her out.

I don’t have the best morals, and I’m afraid I would corrupt her if we did go out.

I don’t want to make her into something she isn’t.

Should I let her be who she is, or take the risk of dating her and hope she’ll be happy?

When I think about Lorena, I realize I’d do anything for her — even change my life. Please tell me what to do. — WILD MAN IN KENT, OHIO DEAR WILD MAN: Feeling as you do about Lorena, I think you should take the risk and ask her out.

Because you would do “anything” for her, make it your top priority not to push her into anything you know wouldn’t be good for her.

You wouldn’t be the first “wild man” to meet someone who made him want to be a better man. I wish you luck.

DEAR ABBY: I am a woman in my 50s. My sister, who is also in her 50s, lives with me and has for several years. Could you please settle a dispute we are having?

She says that mail is private and when I bring my mail in from the mailbox, I should leave hers in the box. I say it is just common courtesy to bring all of it in at once and place it in a predetermined spot for the recipient.

I am not saying that mail is not private, because it is. And I would never dream of opening anyone’s mail, but don’t you have to look at the envelope to know which person it belongs to?

So what do you think?

Should it be left in the box or should I bring it all in? — STUMPED SISTER IN HOUSTON DEAR SISTER: I think what you have been doing is both wise and prudent. Unless the mailbox has a lock on it, I would recommend bringing all the mail into the house as soon as possible after it’s delivered to prevent theft.

However, because your sister is sensitive about it and asked that you leave it in the box for her to retrieve, you should do as she has requested.

Salem: Downtown parking free but in shorter supply STATE

The Associated Press

Morgan Tien, 14, holds his quadcopter that he flew to film and photograph the Two Bulls Fire from his backyard near Awbrey Glen Golf Club in Bend in June. Earlier in the fire season, Tiensent, sent up an $800 drone to shoot video of a wildfire threatening the western edge of the city. He didn’t get into trouble because his flights didn’t get into restricted airspace.

Teenager’s drone worried firefighting crews BEND (AP) — It cost a Bend teenager about $800 in revenue from chores, yard work and birthday gifts to buy a miniature aircraft and a camera he sent aloft to capture video of a forest fire this summer that was threatening the western edge of the city.

The images were a YouTube hit, but they were also a source of worry for fire bosses concerned about the possibility that drones could interfere with firefighting and possibly bring down a big aircraft.

Morgan Tien, 14, told The Bulletin newspaper of Bend that he had read federal guidelines on when and where he could fly his DJI Phantom, a small quadcopter he fitted with a GoPro camera.

Tien’s not in trouble for the flight, which went up

from his patio on June 7, followed by a second flight the next day. They didn’t get into restricted air space.

But federal authorities cited the flights, along with others this summer in state and Washington California. They called them an “emerging hazard.”

Drones may be a problem for firefighters if the drones fly into restricted airspace over and near a wildfire, where air tankers and helicopters could be in the air, Mike Ferris, a said spokesman in Portland for the U.S. Forest Service.

If firefighters spot a drone close to a fire, they may suspend the aerial delivery of retardant and water from air tankers and helicopters, Ferris said.

The number of drones flying around wildfires is expected to increase, he said.

“We just want people to be aware and know the rules and know that it could become a hazard,” Ferris said.

There have been no collisions reported between airplanes or helicopters and drones in central Oregon or the rest of the country, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The Forest Service itself is interested in using drones to collect information about wildfires, such as determining their perimeters and checking for small fires.

Tien said no federal agencies have contacted him about his flights near the Two Bulls Fire. He said he’d fly again near another wildfire, after making sure he was following rules, and he expects to see more people flying drones near wildfires.

“We are just entering this realm of drones,” Tien said.

‘Simpsons’ mural unveiled in Springfield SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Hundreds of people turned out for the festivities as a mural honoring “The Simpsons” was unveiled in Springfield, Oregon.

On hand for Monday’s big event was actress Yeardley Smith, the voice of Bart Simpson’s little sister, Lisa, on the animated sitcom.

Smith was more than happy to land on both sides of the ongoing controversy: is

Oregon’s Springfield the REAL Springfield that provides the setting for “The Simpsons” family adventures?

The Register-Guard reports that at a news conference prior to the official ceremony, Smith told reporters, “Um, well, I don’t want to burst your bubble, but ... it is true that the name Springfield was chosen because it’s the most common

name for a town in the United States.”

Later, as Smith stood in front of the waiting crowd,she declared, “We have always said that Springfield is every town in America. But that is a dirty lie. Springfield is obviously in Oregon.”

By then she was reading from a script but the crowd was happy.

SALEM (AP) — Business owners and the City Council are taking a second look a decision last fall to open the downtown core in Salem to free, unrestricted parking.

The result, say owners, is that parking spots are harder to come by these days, and they’re losing business.

Residents of Oregon’s capital city have long resisted paid parking, and last year a group launched a petition drive to make sure parking meters weren’t installed.

The petition also eliminated the two-hour limits that were in place.

The measure would have gone on the May ballot if the council hadn’t acted.

Members of the group that organized the petition drive say parking is sparse because the city hasn’t enforced a law that prohibits downtown employees from parking there during their shifts.

Naked man fought, beat cars at hemp fest GRANTS PASS (AP) — State Police arrested a naked man who was beating on cars and getting into fights at a Southern Oregon music festival that promoted the benefits of hemp.

Troopers went to the Jefferson State Hemp Expo in the Josephine County community of Provolt early Sunday found four men holding the naked man on the ground. Troopers took him into custody.

State police say 27-yearold Timothy A. Seaux was later taken to jail and held on charges of criminal mischief, menacing, assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.

Walden, Roberts speakers at memorial SALEM (AP) — Republican Congressman and Greg Walden Democratic former Gov. Barbara Roberts are slated to speak at a memorial next week for former Oregon Gov. Vic Atiyeh.

Speakers at the Sept. 3 memorial will also include Republican state Rep. Jackie Winters of Salem, Gerry Thompson, who was Atiyeh’s chief of staff, and the former governor’s two children.

Atiyeh died July 20 at the age of 91. He served two terms as governor beginning in 1979, and was the last Republican to hold the position.

The memorial will be held in the House of Representatives chamber at the state Capitol in Salem.

Police: Trucker stabbed by car driver ONTARIO (AP) — Oregon state troopers say a man driving a car stolen in Pasco, Washington, attacked a commercial truck driver in eastern Oregon on Monday, stabbing the driver multiple times.

Lt. Gregg Hastings says the truck driver, 63-year-old Charles VanZante of Jerome, Idaho, was flown to a Boise, Idaho, hospital where he was being treated for injuries that were not considered lifethreatening.

Police say the attacker first used his car to ram the truck’s diesel tanks as the vehicles drove along Interstate 84 west of Ontario, Oregon. After the truck stopped, the attacker entered the truck and started stabbing the driver.

Troopers arrested a man for investigation of attempted murder and assault. They say they haven’t yet positively identified him.

4-year-old boy pulled unconscious from lake FOREST GROVE (AP) — A dive team and boats have searched an Oregon lake for possible other victims after a young boy was pulled unconscious from the lake Monday evening.

Former inmate suing for nearly $50K PORTLAND (AP) — A 32year-old former inmate who claims he injured his knee while climbing down from his prison bunk bed is suing the state of Oregon for $49,637.

The Oregonian reports the lawsuit was filed Friday against the Oregon Department of Corrections.

Mitchell Ray Johnston claims the department was negligent in failing to provide ladders or another safe way for inmates to climb on an off of bunks at the Columbia River Correctional Institution in Northeast Portland.

Johnston, of Beaverton, was serving an 18-month sentence for credit card fraud at the 595-bed minimum security prison. On Aug. 28, 2012, he claims he was climbing down from his upper bunk when his foot slipped, causing a torn ACL and meniscus tear to his knee.

Johnston was released about two months later and had surgery in January 2013.

Nation Burger King buying Tim Hortons for about $11B MIAMI (AP) — Burger King says it struck a deal to buy Tim Hortons Inc. for about $11 billion, a move that creates the world’s third-largest fastfood company and could accelerate the international expansion of the Canadian coffee and doughnut chain.

The corporate headquarters of the new company will be in Canada. The two brands will continue to be run as stand-alone chains, with Burger King still operating out of Miami.

Some analysts have suggested that Canada’s lower tax rates stand to benefit Burger King over time. But Burger King said that’s the not main motivation for the deal.

Hearings planned after call for closure LOS ANGELES (AP) — A senior federal nuclear expert is urging regulators to shut down California’s last operating nuclear plant until they can determine whether the facility’s twin reactors can withstand powerful shaking from any one of several nearby earthquake faults.

Michael Peck, who for five years was Diablo Canyon’s lead on-site inspector, says in a 42-page, confidential report that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is not applying the safety rules it set out for the plant’s operation.

The document, which was obtained and verified by The Associated Press, does not say the plant itself is unsafe.

Instead, according to Peck’s analysis, no one knows whether the facility’s key equipment can withstand strong shaking from those faults — the potential for which was realized decades after the facility was built.

Soldier dies after shooting herself FORT LEE, Va. (AP) — An enraged soldier barricaded herself in a building at a Virginia Army base, threw objects around the office and then fatally shot herself in the head Monday as law enforcement officials tried to negotiate with her, authorities said.

The soldier, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead after being taken to Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, according to a news release issued by Fort Lee, where the Monday morning shooting took place. No other injuries were reported.

The heavily trafficked base went on lockdown while the soldier was barricaded on the third floor of the four-story building that houses the Army’s Combined Arms Support Command.

‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Modern Family’ win Emmy Awards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Modern Family” and “Breaking Bad” triumphed at Monday’s Emmy Awards, proving that established broadcast and cable fare retains the power to fend off challenges from upstart online series such as “Orange Is the New Black.”

The ceremony’s emotional high point came with Billy Crystal’s restrained and graceful remembrance of Robin Williams, who was found dead Aug. 11, an apparent suicide.

“He made us laugh. Hard.

Every time you saw him,” Crystal said of Williams at the conclusion of a tribute to industry members who died within the past 12 months.

“Robin Williams, what a concept.”

ABC’s “Modern Family” won a fifth best comedy series Emmy, tying the record set by “Frasier,” while the final season of AMC’s “Breaking Bad” captured the

top drama award and a trio of acting honors for its stars.

Netflix’s freshman “Orange Is the New Black,” which competed for best comedy series despite its dark prison setting, failed to sway Emmy voters, as did Netflix’s sophomore series “House of Cards.”

Bryan Cranston was honored as best actor in a drama for “Breaking Bad,” proving that “True Detective” nominee Matthew McConaughey’s movie-star appeal couldn’t conquer all.

“I have gratitude for everything that has happened,” Cranston said. His victory ties him with four-time best drama actor champ Dennis Franz. Cranston’s co-stars Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn were honored in categories for best drama supporting acting — he for the third time and she for the second straight year — and the series won its second consecutive best drama award.

“Thank you for this wonderful farewell to our show,” “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan said of the series about a teacherturned-drug kingpin that ended with a bang.

A broadcast win was scored by ABC’s “The Good Wife” star Julianna Margulies, honored as best lead actress in a drama series. “What a wonderful time for women on television,” Margulies said.

McConaughey was the object of too-handsome jokes by presenter Jimmy Kimmel and adoration by winner Gail Mancuso, honored as best director for an episode of “Modern Family.”

It was one of the better gags of the night.

“If you don’t mind, Matthew McConaughey, I’m gonna make eye contact with you right now,” she said from the stage, making good by holding the actor’s gaze for much of her speech.

Napa rattled by 3.9 aftershock NAPA, Calif. (AP) — Napa County has been rattled by a small aftershock to the strong and damaging earthquake that hit California’s wine capital over the weekend.

The US Geological Survey says the 3.9-magnitude quake struck at 5:33 a.m.

Tuesday about 7 miles south of the city of Napa.

A sheriff’s dispatcher says the station shook a little, but there have been no calls reporting damage or injuries.

California’s wine capital is still recovering from Sunday’s 6.0-magnitude earthquake, which is estimated to have caused at least $1 billion in property damage.

There have been a series of small aftershocks, mostly in the 2.0-magnitude range.

WORLD Palestinian officials: Cease-fire made with Israel D I G E S T Liberian president fires ministers MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — Liberia’s president has fired all Cabinet ministers and other top officials who defied her order to return to the country as it struggles with an unprecedented Ebola outbreak.

A statement from Ellen Johnson Sirleaf’s office late Monday did not say how many officials or which ones had been fired. The order to return and remain in Liberia came a few weeks ago as part of a state of emergency.

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed more than 1,400 people in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria. Liberia has been hardest hit and has the most severe measures, including sealing off an entire neighborhood of the capital.

US surveillance flights underway over KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The U.S. has begun surveillance flights over Syria after President Barack Obama gave the OK, U.S. officials said, a move that could pave the way for airstrikes against Islamic State militant targets there.

While the White House says Obama has not approved military action inside Syria, additional intelligence on the militants would likely be necessary before he could take that step. Pentagon officials have been drafting potential options for the president, including airstrikes.

One official said the administration has a need for reliable intelligence from Syria and called the surveillance flights an important avenue for obtaining data.

Weapons convoys seen rolling in Ukraine Ukraine KRASNODON, (AP) — For several evenings this month,convoys of military weaponry passed with clockwork-like regularity through Krasnodon, a rebel-held town in eastern Ukraine near the porous border with Russia.

The convoys were seen three times last week by Associated Press reporters, and one of them carried about 30 units of weaponry and supplies. All were coming from the direction of Russia and heading west to where pro-Moscow separatists were fighting Ukrainian troops. fighter One rebel described how easy it was to cross into Ukraine through a Russian-controlled frontier post in a convoy that included a tank, adding that the border officer appeared unfazed at the deadly cargo.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Officials from Hamas and Islamic Jihad, the main groups fighting in Gaza, said Tuesday they have reached a deal with Israel to end a seven-week war that has killed more than 2,000 Palestinians.

There was no immediate Israeli comment.

Ziad Nakhala, a senior official in Islamic Jihad, said the deal calls for an “openended” cease-fire, and an Israeli agreement to ease its blockade of Gaza to allow relief supplies and construction materials into the war-battered territory.

Talks on more complex issues, such as Hamas’ demand to build an airport and a seaport for Gaza, would begin in a month, he said.

Egypt planned an announcement later Tuesday.

The Hamas official, who spoke on condition of anonymity pending the announcement, confirmed

Putin sits down with Ukrainian president

BERLIN (AP) — Maybe he got hungry?

A moose on the loose in the eastern German city of Dresden evaded capture before getting stuck inside an office building, tantalizingly close to the canteen.

A spokesman for Dresden police says the young bull walked into the building housing German industrial giant Siemens shortly before lunchtime Monday.

Marko Laske says officers and wildlife spent six hours trying to shoo the moose into a container but eventually had to resort to using a tranquilizer gun after he refused to follow orders.

Under pressure to seek a negotiated settlement and not a military victory, the Ukrainian president said the purpose of his visit was to start the process of searcha political ing for compromise and promised that the interests of Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine would be taken into account.

Putin devoted most of his opening remarks to trade, arguing that Ukraine’s decision to sign an association agreement with the EU would lead to huge losses for Russia, which would then be forced to protect its economy.

Russia had been counting on Ukraine joining a rival economic union that it is forming with Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Ukraine is set to ratify the EU association agreement in September.

China’s broadcasting authority has been offering awards and an unspecified amount of financial support to domestic documentaries to boost their production, according to its website. In

October, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television ordered provincial satellite channels to broadcast at least 30 minutes of domestically produced documentaries a day. In addition to state broadcaster CCTV’s documentary channel, two documentary channels run by local broadcasters in Beijing and Shanghai became available nationally in June.

MINSK,Belarus (AP) — The presidents of Russia and Ukraine sat down for talks Tuesday,meeting face-to-face for the first time since June on the fighting that has engulfed Ukraine’s separatist east.

Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s Petro Poroshenko were joined by the presidents of Belarus and Kazakhstan and three senior officials from the European Union in the Belarusian capital of Minsk.

The meeting came as Ukraine said its forces had captured 10 Russian soldiers in eastern Ukraine and the shelling spread to a new front in the far southeast. Ukraine has repeatedly accused Russia of supporting and arming the rebels, which Russia denies daily.

Israel and Egypt imposed the blockade in 2007, after Hamas seized Gaza by force in 2007. Under the restrictions, virtually all of Gaza’s 1.8 million people cannot trade or travel. Only a few thousand are able to leave the coastal territory every month.

Six silly gadgets that make life easier I am nothing if not a gadget lover. Ingenious items that make my life easier are great, but when I find something that’s cool and has the potential to save money? Well, that’s cause for some kind of tiny celebration. Here are my current fun finds.

Sugru. I don’t know where this stuff has been hiding (maybe I’m the one who’s been missing?), but my recent discovery has me giddy with joy. It’s called Sugru, or perhaps a better name would be Miracle in a Package.

Think: EVERYDAY s i l l y CHEAPSKATE p u t t y without the silly p a r t .

Sugru is self-setting rubber for fixing, modifying and Mary making Hunt stuff.

Y o u apply it, shape it and watch it transform into a durable, waterproof rubber with amazing properties. It comes in a bevy of colors, which makes it a crafter’s dream come true. I have so many DIY projects crying out for Sugru, I just don’t know where to start.

WakeUp Light. Call it a lamp or call it an alarm clock, either way you’ll be right on.

This gadget wakes you up by simulating sunrise — not with a blasting, loud, annoying noise. You set the time that you want to wake up, and then it gradually increases light for 30 minutes, allowing you to wake up naturally. And when you turn it off, the lamp stays on so you can get out of bed without having to turn on another light. This thing is quite amazing, and I love it.

WakeUp Light has 20 different settings so you can choose the intensity.

Velcro Zip Ties. It would take a long time for me to count how many of these babies hold my life together.

They manage my cord clutter, which is extensive; just trust me on that. They bundle and organize small stuff in my kitchen junk drawer so I can quickly find what I need. These ties are simple one-piece design wraps and just the right size for almost everything.

Aqua Notes. I get my best ideas and solutions in the place I’m least likely to be able to remember them: the shower. Seriously! Maybe it’s because for a few minutes my brain can relax. Whatever it is, those great ideas and solutions used to go right down the drain, lost forever. But not any more! Now I have Aqua Notes — a waterproof note pad and pen right there in the shower. Hooray for such a clever gadget.

Lock Laces. Oh my, this is so perfect for shoes with laces and people who are tired of lacing up and tying those shoes. You have to see this because it’s more of a “system” than what you might be thinking. You can toss the laces that come with the sneakers and use Lock Laces instead. They come in a wide range of colors and turn any lace-up shoes into quasi slip-ons. They can be pulled tight or left loose. Simply fabulous!

Big Ice Cubes. It’s a long story, but here’s the bottom line. My refrigerator’s icemaker is currently hooked up to our tap water. While I’m sure it’s safe, our tap water tastes awful. That’s OK now that I have these awesome ice trays that make big, beautiful ice cubes. I just fill them with filtered water. They stack perfectly and take very little space in the freezer. I love the big cubes because they melt slowly.

Washington Obama addresses vets in trip laden with politics

The Associated Press

President Barack Obama speaks about the situation in Iraq in the State Dining Room at the White House in Washington, on Aug. 7.

US surveillance planes fly over Syria WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. has begun surveillance flights over Syria after President Barack Obama gave the OK, U.S. officials said, a move that could pave the way for airstrikes against Islamic State militant targets there.

While the White House says Obama has not approved military action inside Syria, additional intelligence on the militants would likely be necessary before he could take that step. Pentagon officials have been drafting potential options for the president, including airstrikes.

One official said the administration has a need for reliable intelligence from Syria and called the surveillance flights an important avenue for obtaining data.

Two U.S. officials said Monday that Obama had approved the flights, while another U.S. official said early Tuesday that they had begun. The officials were not authorized to discuss the matter by name, and spoke only on condition of

anonymity.

The U.S. began launching strikes against the Islamic State inside Iraq earlier this month, with Obama citing the threat to American personnel in the country and a humanitarian crisis in the north as his rationale. Top Pentagon officials have said the only way the threat from the militants can be fully eliminated is to go after the group inside neighboring Syria as well.

Obama has long resisted taking military action in Syria, a step that would plunge the U.S. into a country ravaged by an intractable civil war. However, the president’s calculus appears to have shifted since the Islamic State announced last week that it had murdered American journalist James Foley, who was held hostage in Syria. The group is also threatening to kill other U.S. citizens being held by the extremists in Syria.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday

that Obama has demonstrated his willingness to order military action when necessary to protect American citizens.

“That is true without regard to international boundaries,” he said.

The White House would not comment on Obama’s decision to authorize surveillance flights over Syria.

“We’re not going to comment on intelligence or operational issues, but as we’ve been saying, we’ll use all the tools at our disposal,” said Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council.

The U.S. had already stepped up its air surveillance of the Islamic State inside Iraq earlier this year as Obama began considering the prospect of airstrikes there. And the administration has run some surveillance missions over Syria, including ahead of an attempted mission to rescue Foley and other U.S. hostages earlier this summer.

THANK YOU for your commitment and dedication to delivering compassionate patient care to our community!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three months after a veterans’ health care scandal rocked his administration, President Barack Obama is taking executive action to improve the mental wellbeing of veterans. The president was to announce his initiatives during an appearance before the American Legion National Convention that is fraught with midterm politics.

The president’s address to the legionnaires Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, is the latest administration response to the health care lapses that led to the resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki in May. The White House says Obama will announce administration steps to strengthen access to mental health care by members of the military, to improve the transition for those leaving the military from care administered by the Defense Department to that run by Veterans Affairs, and to foster suicide prevention and better treatments for posttraumatic stress syndrome.

For Obama, however, the visit to North Carolina has a

heavy political subtext as well. The state’s Democratic senator, Kay Hagan, is in a difficult re-election race and Obama is not popular in the state. Hagan was scheduled to speak to the American Legion too, but her spokeswoman declined to say whether she would appear on stage with the president.

The campaign of Hagan’s Republican opponent, Thom Tillis, accused Hagan of being a “rubber stamp” for Obama and “compliant with the administration’s failure to provide our veterans with the health care that they deserve.”

Obama also could face a skeptical audience. In a July Associated Press-GfK poll, Obama’s approval rating among veterans and veterans’ households lagged behind his overall approval rating at just 33 percent, with 66 percent disapproving.

Eager to distance herself from the president, Hagan issued a statement Friday ahead of the Legion convention saying the administration “has not yet done enough to earn the lasting trust of our veterans.”

Obama’s address to the veterans also comes as his

administration considers whether to confront Islamic State militants by taking military action against them in Syria. U.S. officials said Monday that Obama has authorized surveillance flights over Syria, and a third said they have already begun, a move that could pave the way for U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State militant targets in that country.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama was not likely to offer any details about his policy in the region.

Earlier this month, Obama signed a $16.3 billion law aimed at easing the long waits that tens of thousands of military veterans had endured to get medical care.

The law, a product of rare bipartisanship in the House and Senate, followed reports of veterans dying while awaiting appointments to see VA doctors and of a widespread practice of employees covering up months-long wait times for appointments. In some cases, employees received bonuses based on falsified records.

UPGRADES Continued from Page A1 received a loan from the DEQ for $1.2 million, with a 75 percent forgiveness rate. Wildish Construction from Eugene completed the project last winter.

Urban said they asked for the loan to include a dewatering unit, as well.

“DEQ initially didn’t want to do it,” Urban said. “They felt it was less cost-effective.”

However, Urban said the unit, which uses a fan press system, will save the city about $50,000 a year.

“It’s really honestly about saving money,” Urban said.

“That’s the real long and short of it.”

Consumers won’t be charged more than the current $55 per month for a singlefamily house, thanks to the dewatering unit, Urban said.

The rate was gradually raised over the years and was $44.65 at the beginning of construction, he said.

In addition, the new system allows the city to stop shipping waste to Roseburg. Now they ship it to Beaver Hill, the county’s disposal site, twice weekly, he said.

The dewatering unit has to be run more in wintertime due to increased rainfall, Urban said.

upgrade. Work began in 2007, but the city has been under a mutual agreement order with the DEQ since the 1990s, said Stephanie Patterson, city recorder.

“It’s been an ongoing issue,” Patterson said. “We’ve had inflow and infiltration problems for decades.”

She also said they needed to eliminate putting wastewater in the Coquille River.

The city received a loan of $672,000 and a grant of $4,272,608 from USDA Rural Development, Patterson said.

The city applied for a second round of funding to meet potential cost, according the city’s website on the project, powersoregonsewer.wordpress.com.

Patterson said the sewer rate for a typical household would increase up to $20 from its current $81.20 over the upcoming years. Those interested may see the preliminary proposed drawings and get flyers of the treatment plant and collection system at City Hall.

The city will receive a lowpressure grinder pump system with a new treatment plant that will meet or exceed requirements, Patterson said.

She expected the city would receive bids from contractors this fall or next spring.

tery, was unarmed when he was killed. A grand jury is considering evidence in the case, and a federal investigation is also underway.

Police have said a scuffle broke out Aug. 9 after officer Darren Wilson told Brown and a friend to move out of the street and onto a sidewalk in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. Police said Wilson was pushed into his squad car and physically assaulted. Some witnesses have reported seeing Brown’s arms in the air in an act of surrender. An autopsy found he was shot at least six times.

Relatives denounced a video released by police, who say it shows Brown snatching cigars from a convenience store just before he was killed.

In the video, the person said

Sharpton also took the black community to task, saying it should be as upset about black-on-black crime as it is about police violence: “We have to be outraged by our disrespect for each other.”

Money and possessions mean little, he said, “if we can’t protect a child walking down the street in Ferguson” and bring justice.

within the VA. In an interview with The Associated Press, Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson stressed that veterans are still waiting too long for care, an issue the agency is working to fix.

“They looked to see if there was any causal relationship associated with the delay in care and the death of these veterans and they were unable to find one. But from my perspective, that don’t make it OK,” Gibson said. “Veterans were waiting too long for care and there were things being done, there were scheduling

improprieties happening at Phoenix and frankly at other locations as well. Those are unacceptable.”

In April, Dr. Samuel Foote, who had worked for the Phoenix VA for more than 20 years before retiring in December, brought the allegations to Congress.

Foote accused Arizona VA leaders of collecting bonuses for reducing patient wait times. But, he said, the purported successes resulted from data manipulation rather than improved service.

He said up to 40 patients died while awaiting care.

CEP Continued from Page A1 The work group also needs to set in stone a process for how the multimillion-dollar checks will flow after they leave Jordan Cove’s hands, said work group member John Sweet.

The county assessor will determine how much Jordan Cove pays every year once it’s operational. The community service fee will be based on the facility’s annual assessed value. The work group also needs to determine how that money will be distributed to the various CEP entities so CCD can cut checks as quickly as possible, Sweet said.

Jordan Cove will write one check annually to the CCD (the enterprise zone manager). CCD will then cut checks to the entities outlined in the Community Enhancement Plan: the South Coast Community Foundation, Waterfront Development Partnership, Coos County and the other North Spit taxing entities.

SCCF and WDP’s boards need to independently determine how to spend those dollars, on education or economic development needs, respectively.

Work group member Mike Erbele said it’s important to minimize the number of agencies who have their hands on the money.

Murray overcomes cramps at U.S. Open

The Associated Press

Andy Murray returns a shot against Robin Haase during their match at the U.S. Open on Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Spinning in 70 mph second serves, grabbing at his hamstring during points, Andy Murray gritted his way through head-to-toe cramps to win at the U.S. Open.

Murray outlasted Robin Haase 6-3, 7-6 (6), 1-6, 7-5 in the first round Monday during an afternoon that was hot but not particularly humid. He was mystified that the cramps came on so early — at the start of the third set after only about an hour and a half on court.

“When it starts to kind of go everywhere, you don’t know exactly where it’s going to creep up next,” he said.

“When you stretch one muscle, something else then cramps, too.”

It started in the back of his left shoulder, and then quickly spread to his forearm. The right-handed Murray couldn’t toss the ball high enough to get any pace on his serves.

Between points, he’d twist his body to awkwardly stretch his left side. After hitting a winner, he’d reach for his quad.

Murray was twice down a break in the fourth set, but the 70th-ranked Haase unraveled with a string of unforced errors. He wasted three break

points in the final game, when a missed call also cost him.

The eighth-seeded Murray had felt confident in his conditioning after productive training sessions in Miami, where he weathered far more heat and humidity than this. He wondered if something was amiss in his nutrition.

“Cramping in my left forearm?” a bewildered Murray said. “I mean, I didn’t use my left forearm a whole lot today.”

Haase, also bothered by some cramping, said he didn’t eat and drink enough beforehand because of an earlier-than-expected start — the first match on Louis Armstrong Stadium lasted just 47 minutes. But Murray said dehydration didn’t seem to be his problem.

Serving for the fourth set at 5-3, Haase double-faulted on break point to allow Murray to get back on serve.

Murray then went up 6-5 when he took Haase’s second serve high and whacked a forehand winner.

With Murray trying to serve out the match, Haase smacked a deep return on

his second break point that might have set him up to win the game. But the ball was called out, and after it was overturned on review, they had to replay the point. This time, Haase hit a volley into the net.

Murray is notorious for suddenly clutching at an ailment after a poorly played point. On this day, though, the misery was clearly real. The two-time major champion went after winners to shorten points, tried to stay upright to keep the strain off his legs. It was just enough to eke out the victory.

“I don’t think if it would have gone to five sets I would’ve been the favorite,” Murray said.

Three years ago, he and Haase did go five in New York, with Murray rallying from a two-set deficit to win in the second round.

After Monday’s loss, Haase planned to complain to the ATP that he was denied treatment during the match for a sore foot. But the Dutchman insisted he wasn’t distracted by Murray’s shows of discomfort.

Petersen is set for big debut

first week in December.

He does not have a coach and said there was no timetable to hire one.

“My time spent with Tiger is one of the highlights of my career so far, and I am appreciative of the many experiences we shared together,” Foley said in a statement posted on Woods’ website.

Foley was the third coach Woods hired as a professional.

Woods began working with Butch Harmon as a teenager, and they changed his swing twice. The biggest overhaul was after Woods won the Masters by 12 shots. Many believe the new swing produced Woods’ most dominant golf, though he also was in his early 20s and had not had serious issues with his knee. Woods won eight majors while with Harmon, including seven in 11 attempts and an unprecedented sweep of them in 2000-01. They parted in 2003.

SEATTLE (AP) — Chris Petersen insists the opener for No. 25 Washington against Hawaii on Saturday carries no greater importance than any other season opener in his coaching career.

Except that for the first time as a head coach, Petersen will be leading a team other than Boise State.

“They’re all big. Just like I told you guys way back, when I started coaching in front of 300 fans I had the same exact feelings. That doesn’t change,” Petersen said Monday. “You’re competitive, you want to do best for your guys. It doesn’t matter what stage you are on, where you’re at. My focus never changes on that.”

Petersen, one of the biggest names to change programs during the offseason, said the feeling when the Huskies begin their season at Aloha Stadium won’t be any different than in his first game as a head coach in 2006, when he led Boise State against Sacramento State.

But now there’s an expectation of success that Petersen created while at Boise State, where he went 92-12, won a pair of BCS bowl games and raised the Broncos’ national profile. It’s a level he’s expected to meet at Washington from the start.

“It’s going to be interesting just because we haven’t been in any real games with these guys to see who is going to respond, who is going to step up, if somebody makes a big play on us, if things don’t go right on offense, how do we respond?” Petersen said.

“Curious, excited, and ready to go.”

Petersen’s tenure with the Huskies will begin with a question at quarterback, where sophomore Jeff Lindquist will get his first collegiate start. Lindquist beat out redshirt freshman Troy Williams for the starting nod against Hawaii, but there’s uncertainly beyond that. Sophomore Cyler Miles was the presumed starter when Petersen arrived last December, but he was suspended for spring practice and the season opener after his involvement in an off-field incident in February.

The job could be Miles’ beginning Sept. 6 against Eastern Washington. But Lindquist will get a chance to make it a competition.

“I think the understanding of the offense got a lot better for me.

I think it helped that our team, too, kind of grew with it. It was not just me, but everyone got together so the fluidity increased with the offense,” Lindquist said. “That made it a lot easier to operate. I think my accuracy has gotten a lot better. Again, I’m still working on that but I think from where it was in the spring I made good strides.”

Lindquist redshirted in 2012 and spent last season backing up both starter Keith Price and Miles.

His only action came in mop-up duty during blowouts and he has yet to attempt a college pass.

His decision-making won him the starting job against Hawaii.

Petersen cautioned that the Huskies don’t need Lindquist to try to go beyond what he showed in practice. Making solid, simple decisions is all Lindquist needs to do.

Marcus Mariota is focused primarily on football for the Duccks this fall after finishing all of his difficult classes so that he can graduate early in December.

Mariota keeps his focus on football

BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

EUGENE — Marcus Mariota takes a lot of ribbing over his course load this semester: yoga and golf.

For those joking that Mariota need only add underwater basketweaving, the reality is that the quarterback for No. 3 Oregon finished his degree requirements in just three years.

Oh, and opponents should also take note that those easy A’s mean Mariota is going to be able to spend a lot more time focusing on football this season.

“With the amount of free time I’ll have, it will mean being early in the treatment room, remaining healthy and doing recovery stuff, and along with that film work and being around the building more to

do that kind of thing. To be able to have a little more time for football it will really be beneficial to me,” he said.

The Ducks open at home on Saturday night against South Dakota.

Mariota averaged nearly 282 yards passing per game and threw for 31 touchdowns with only four interceptions last season. He also rushed for 715 yards and nine scores. His 4,380 yards of total offense set a school record.

All the while he was also taking 20 units. Toward a science degree, no less. He graduates (early) in December.

“He was taking all these upper division biology, upper division science. He had 20 credits and aiming to get done in time to graduate. It was just impressive. He’s managed his media obligations

and still doing everything he has in the community, which is substantial by anyone’s measure,” coach Mark Helfrich said.

There was speculation last season that he’d jump at opportunities in the NFL, but Mariota announced early on that he was sticking with the Ducks.

Mariota, a redshirt junior, said his decision didn’t have all that much to do with “unfinished business” after Oregon lost two games last season to fall out of national championship contention. It had more to do with finishing school and the Ducks. He said he’s interested — someday — in pursuing a career in sports medicine.

“For me I wanted to come back and get my degree, come back and enjoy another year with the guys and experience college for another year,” he said.

In large part because of Mariota’s return, the Ducks enter the season at No. 3 in the AP Top 25. Oregon has been picked in the annual poll of reporters who cover the conference to finish this season atop the Pac-12 North and claim the league’s championship.

Mariota has never led the Ducks to the Pac-12 title; Darron Thomas was the quarterback when Oregon won in 2011.

Mariota was a Heisman contender last season before struggling with a left knee injury. The Ducks had climbed to No. 2 in the AP rankings but Mariota tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee against UCLA and the next week Oregon fell to Stanford 26-20.

Tiger will switch swing coach again PARAMUS, N.J. (AP) — Tiger Woods is leaving swing coach Sean Foley after four years and no majors.

Woods said on his website Monday he will no longer work with Foley, the Canadian whom he hired when his game was at its low point following the upheaval with his marriage. The announcement came one day after another Foley pupil, Hunter Mahan, won The Barclays.

“I’d like to thank Sean for his help as my coach and for his friendship,” Woods said. “Sean is one of the outstanding coaches in golf today, and I know he will continue to be successful with the players working with him.”

Woods has been coping with back problems for more than a year. He had surgery March 31 to alleviate a pinched nerve, forcing him to miss two majors during his three months of recovery. He missed two cuts, withdrew from another tournament and had his

Baltimore’s Nick Markakis watches his two-run home run in the third inning against Tampa Bay on Monday.

Baltimore bats bomb Tampa Bay THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — Delmon Young, J.J. Hardy and Chris Davis homered in succession during a six-run fifth inning, and the Baltimore Orioles cruised past the Tampa Bay Rays 9-1 Monday night to end a three-game losing streak.

Baltimore hit five homers in all, four off rookie Jake Odorizzi (9-11). Nick Markakis and Steve Pearce delivered back-to-back shots in the third to spark the Orioles to their ninth win in 13 games against Tampa Bay this season.

After totaling four runs and 13 hits in three road losses to the Chicago Cubs, the Orioles got 14 hits against a Tampa Bay staff that had a major league-best 2.28 ERA since the All-Star break.

Yankees 6, Royals 1: Derek Jeter drove in two runs in his final scheduled trip to Kauffman Stadium, backing a sharp outing from Michael Pineda (3-2) and helping the Yankees beat the Royals for their fifth straight win.

Jacoby Ellsbury drove in a run in the seventh inning with the 1,000th hit of his career, then added a two-run homer

in the ninth. Stephen Drew and Martin Prado also homered for New York.

Athletics 8, Astros 2: Jeff Samardzija (4-3) pitched eight solid innings and Josh Donaldson drove in three runs to lead Oakland over Houston.

Red Sox 4, Blue Jays 3, 10 innings: Yoenis Cespedes singled home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and the Red Sox survived a ninth-inning collapse to beat the Blue Jays 4-3, snapping their losing streak at eight games.

Cespedes has 19 RBIs in 22 games since being traded to Boston on July 31.

Seven of those 19 RBIs have given the Red Sox a lead.

Rockies 3, Giants 2: Tyler Matzek (3-9) struck out seven in seven innings to end a five-start losing streak, and Colorado capitalized on San Francisco’s mistakes. The Rockies have won four straight in San Francisco for the first time in club history.

Brewers 10, Padres 1: Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez homered to back Kyle Lohse’s six effective innings as Milwaukee routed San Diego for its fifth straight road win.

Lohse (12-7) allowed a run and four hits in his first start since spraining his right ankle on Aug. 13. He beat the Padres for the fourth straight time.

Giants move struggling Lincecum to bullpen SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Right-hander Tim Lincecum has been moved to the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen as he tries to work through his latest struggles.

Yusmeiro Petit will replace him in the rotation, manager Bruce Bochy said Monday. Bochy met with Lincecum (10-9) on Sunday about the decision.

“He’s fine,” Bochy said

before his team opened a four-game home series with Colorado. “He’s going to work on some things. It’s no problem with him.”

Lincecum, the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, is coming off the secondshortest start of his career Saturday at Washington. He was tagged for six runs, four earned, on six hits with four walks in 2 2-3 innings.

He pitched his second nohitter against San Diego in less than a year June 25, but has lost four out of his last five decisions with just one win in his last seven starts.

That comes after a four-start winning streak beginning with the no-hitter.

Lincecum received a $35 million, two-year contract in late October to stay with the Giants, his only franchise. He

is earning $17 million this season.

The 30-year-old Lincecum has experience pitching in relief, going 1-1 during the team’s 2012 run to its second World Series title in three years. He pitched the Game 5 World Series clincher at Texas in 2010 as the franchise won its first championship since moving West in 1958.

SEATTLE (AP) — Roenis Elias has been a pleasant surprise for the Seattle Mariners this season. Lately though, the rookie hasn’t been able to find his early season form.

That is cause for worry.

Elias labored through five innings, struggling to find his command, and Seattle dropped the opener of a three-game set against the Texas Rangers on Monday night, 2-0.

“He was his own worst enemy tonight,” Seattle skipper Lloyd McClendon said.

“He battled all night with his stuff, his command. I’m not sure what’s going on — can’t quite put my finger on it, but we’ve got to get it straightened out.”

Despite walking four, Elias (9-11) was able to limit the Rangers to one run. The rookie stranded runners in scoring position in three innings before giving way to the bullpen after tossing 101 pitches.

The Seattle bats were unable to find a groove, too.

Texas starter Miles Mikolas allowed three hits in eight scoreless innings. He faced two batters over the minimum, erasing two of the three hits he allowed with double plays. The right-hander struck out five and walked one. It is the first time Mikolas (2-5) has not allowed a run in 10 career starts.

“I was more busy with myself, and I was struggling myself,” Haase said. “I tried to play my game. It didn’t bother me what he did.”

No such struggles for topseeded Novak Djokovic, who breezed past U.S. Open novice Diego Schwartzman 6-1, 6-2, 6-4. Djokovic wrapped up the final match on opening day at the year’s last Grand Slam event as the hour grew late, with fans calling out to him from the far-away seats at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

“I hope it was a midnight delight for all you guys,” he told them in an on-court interview.

Fifth-seeded Maria Sharapova, who missed last year’s tournament because of an injured right shoulder, made a successful return by winning the final 10 games to beat Maria Kirilenko 6-4, 60 in a matchup of 27-yearold Russians and longtime friends. Actor Alec Baldwin got into the action, too, catching an out-of-bounds shot that sailed over Sharapova and bounced into the seats.

TIGER From Page B1 Woods went to Hank Haney and produced another memorable stretch with an entirely different swing. In a two-year period covering 34 tournaments, Woods won 18 times (including four majors) and was runner-up six times.

That ended with the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, right before his fourth and most invasive knee surgery.

That was his 14th major, and Woods has not won another since. He remains four short of the record held

by Jack Nicklaus.

Haney announced he was leaving Woods, although those close to Woods felt a split was imminent. Woods went through most of 2010 without a coach until hooking up with Foley for the first time at the PGA Championship in 2010 at Whistling Straits.

Woods won three times on the PGA Tour in 2012, and then delivered a five-win

to go out there and kind of ignore that fact, pitch my game and get us a win,” Mikolas said. “Get the road trip off on the right foot.”

J.P. Arencibia gave Mikolas the only run he needed with an RBI single in the fourth and Rougned Odor padded the lead with an RBI groundout in the seventh, scoring Leonys Martin from third.

“They got pitching and we (were) able to take advantage of some things that we created, and we just got to continue to do that,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said.

The Rangers’ best opportunity to break the game open came in the fourth, but Adam Rosales flew out to end the threat with the bases loaded. Texas left five men in scoring position.

Neftali Feliz pitched the ninth for his seventh save in eight attempts.

TRAINER’S ROOM Mariners: 2B Robinson Cano was in the lineup and batting third on Monday, a day after removing himself from the field due to the effects of an illness. Manager Lloyd McClendon said before the game that Cano was feeling better and it didn’t appear the bug hit anyone else on the team.

Rangers: Texas placed OF Shin-Soo Choo on the disabled list Monday, ending his season. Choo will have surgery to remove a bone spur in his left elbow in the next couple weeks.

injured left hip.

Ninth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga also needed four sets to beat Juan Monaco 6-3, 46, 7-6 (2), 6-1. Nick Kyrgios — the Australian teen who stunned Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon — came back from three code violations, just one outburst away from default, in a 7-5, 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-6 (1) upset of 21st-seeded Mikhail Youzhny.

Julien Benneteau, seeded 24th, was upset in five sets by fellow Frenchman Benoit Paire.

Third-seeded Stan Wawrinka and fifth-seeded Milos Raonic both advanced in straight sets.

Top-seeded Novak Djokovic played later under the lights at Arthur Ashe Stadium in the first night session of the year’s last Grand Slam tournament.

Earlier, Venus Williams, 34, beat 43-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm 2-6, 6-3, 6-3.

The combined age of 77 was believed to be the oldest for a women’s Grand Slam pairing, the WTA said.

Along with the 19thseeded Williams, 21st-seeded American Sloane Stephens also advanced by routing Annika Beck.

Second-seeded Simona Halep rallied from a set down for a 6-7 (2), 6-1, 6-2 victory over 20-year-old Danielle Rose Collins, who was playing her first main draw match at a tour-level event. As a sophomore at Virginia, an unseeded Collins won the NCAA title to earn a wild card into the U.S. Open.

season in 2013 when he returned to No. 1. But he rarely challenged in the majors, some of that because of injury.

He missed two majors in 2011 while letting leg injuries fully heal. Woods had a share of the 36-hole lead in the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in 2012, but he was not a factor on Sunday. He was two shots off the lead going into the final round of the 2013 British Open and fell back quickly.

He missed two more majors this year because of injury.

Foley, who first worked with Stephen Ames, has Mahan and former U.S. Open champion Justin Rose among his clients.

“It was a lifelong ambition of mine to teach the best player of all time in our sport,” Foley said. “I am both grateful for the things we had the opportunity to learn from one another, as well as the enduring friendship we have built. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him.”

New Washington coach Chris Petersen coaches the Huskies in their first game this weekend.

HUSKIES From Page B1 “Just stay within yourself.

MARIOTA From Page B1 The Ducks also lost 42-16 to Arizona in Tucson, dropping Oregon to No. 12 and out of the running for a national championship bid.

Oregon wrapped up the season ranked No. 10 at 11-2 after defeating Texas 30-7 in the Alamo Bowl.

“Too many times we were relying on Marcus, especially in the Arizona game or Stanford. We were relying on Marcus to make big plays and that shouldn’t ever happen again,” center Hroniss Grasu said when Oregon opened fall camp. “A lot of that comes

Another anticipated debut will come from highly touted freshman Budda Baker, who won the job at safety and will start against Hawaii. Baker was the top prospect in Petersen’s first recruiting class and his focus and effort made an impres-

We just gotta take the slack off his shoulders.”

The Ducks’ primary concern at the position this season is who will be Mariota’s backup.

Sophomore Jeff Lockie appeared most likely to earn the job, but Oregon’s practices are closed so it’s uncertain if anyone else has emerged during fall camp.

Lockie came off the bench in nine games last season, completing eight of 13 passes with an interception and no touchdowns.

“If it’s wind sprints, he tries to win them. Seven-on7, it looks like a game rep.

Backups aside, Helfrich said Mariota’s decision to return for the season made a major statement for the entire team.

“If I’m the backup guard and I see that guy forgo what he could have made, it’s not some lip service dream, this is a reality of a ton of money.

It’s like, ‘That guy turned down how much? OK, I’ll watch him.’ That’s huge,” Helfrich said. “I think it speaks to the type of guy he is, the type of team we are, and certainly, hopefully, to the type of program that we have.”

injured both ankles after leaping from a second-story balcony to save his 7-yearold nephew, Carter, from drowning in a pool.

Shaw was named a team captain on Saturday and later that night was attending a family function at a cousin’s apartment in his hometown of Palmdale when he saw his nephew, who can’t swim, struggling in the pool.

With no one around, Shaw told USC’s website that he instinctively jumped from the balcony onto the concrete below and crawled to the pool, where he pulled Carter to safety. Unable to step out of the pool because of the pain in his ankles, Shaw lifted himself up the ladder with his upper body.

“I would do it again for whatever kid it was, it did not have to be my nephew,” Shaw told the team website. “My ankles really hurt, but I am lucky to be surrounded by the best trainers and doctors in the world. I am taking my rehab one day at a time, and I hope to be back on the field as soon as possible.”

Shaw was taken to the hospital where he was diagnosed with two high ankle sprains and will be out indefinitely. He said Carter was traumatized, but physically in good shape.

PRO FOOTBALL NFL hands Meriweather another suspension ASHBURN, Va. — The NFL once again has suspended Washington Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather for his latest blow to the head of an opponent, which the league said is his sixth violation of player safety rules.

The league announced Meriweather will be suspended for the first two regular season games for his helmet-to-helmet hit on receiver Torrey Smith in the second quarter of Saturday night’s preseason win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Meriweather will miss the opener against the Houston Texans on Sept. 7 and the Sept. 14 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He will not be allowed to attend team meetings or practices or appear at the team’s facilities

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Matt Cassel was named Minnesota’s starting quarterback over first-round draft pick Teddy Bridgewater for the regular season opener against the St. Louis Rams, an achievement that resonated with a player who has evolved from no-name rookie to backup sensation to embattled starter and then to a journeyman veteran scratching and clawing to get another shot.

Cassel has been sharp while starting all three preseason games. He has completed more than 66 percent of his passes for 367 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.

Tampa Bay considers adding Incognito TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are trying to determine if Richie Incognito is a good fit for their struggling offensive line.

Coach Lovie Smith confirmed he was going to meet with one of the central figures of the bullying scandal that engulfed the Miami Dolphins last season, but also cautioned the “visit” might not necessarily end with the free agent guard resuming his career with the Bucs.

Smith said it would be “jumping the gun” to assume the Bucs will sign Incognito but that he would enter the meeting late in the day with an open mind.

CHICKEN STUFFED PEPPERS

Here’s the thing about baked stuffed peppers...

Plenty of people hate them.

And when you consider the classic approach to this dish, it’s hard to argue. Tasteless ground beef mixed with white rice and some sort of tomato product? Not particularly exciting.

So we decided to create a version with plenty more appeal. We started by ditching the ground beef in favor of chicken, then replaced the flavorless white rice with the more robust japonica, a colorful Japanese variety. Now add shiitake mushrooms, fresh herbs and goat cheese, and you’ve got a stuffed pepper worth getting excited about.

Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 6 6 large red bell peppers 1 cup japonica rice 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons butter 5 ounces shiitake mushroom caps, thinly sliced Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 ⁄4 cup chopped shallots 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 ribs celery, diced 1 small yellow onion, diced 2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken 2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram or oregano 4 ounces goat cheese, SEE STUFFED | C2

Where in The World? — Orlando, Florida

Easy way to get more vegetables

BY ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

Want to get the most out of your late summer tomatoes and eggplants? Try the simple two-step prep we use for these easy crostini.

We start by salting and draining the eggplants and tomatoes. This removes excess water, which not only makes for a meatier texture, it also concentrates the flavors. After the draining, the vegetables are roasted, which caramelizes their natural sugars, further deepening the flavors. The result is incredibly rich and naturally sweet. The whole thing gets tied together with a sweettangy balsamic glaze and bit of salty Parmesan.

If the rest of your dinner is being cooked on the grill, you could skip the oven step and roast the vegetables on there. Prepare them according to the recipe, but set the baking sheet over the cooler side of the grill (turn down one or more of the burners, as needed). And this same topping also would be delicious over pasta, or even spooned onto a burger.

TANGY TOMATO-EGGPLANT CROSTINI Start to finish: 30 minutes SEE VEGGIES | C2

While attending the 62nd Zonta International Convention in Orlando, Fla. (June 27-July 1) local Coos Bay Area Zonta members, Carol Ventgen, Debbie Schade, Margaret Melvin, Dora Daniels, Lindi Quinn and Genelle Hanken, enjoyed dinner at the Mikado Japanese Steak House at the Orlando World Center Marriott Hotel.

At this Teppanyaki-style restaurant, guests are seated around a hibachi grill and entertained by the twirling of sharp knives, the sizzling sounds of food cooking on the grill, smoke, flames and delicious aromas, as their chef prepares an authentic Japanese meal. The five-course meal began with Dashi Miso soup, bitter greens salad with ginger vinaigrette dressing, Teppan of chicken five spice, and ginger marinated filet mignon, sides of rice and stir fried vegetables, ending with dessert of green tea cake, five spice cream and fruit carpaccio with vanilla anglaise sauce.

“The food was delicious, the company great and the noise level energetic!” said Zonta Club President Debbie Schade.

The Zonta International Convention drew over 2,000 members to Orlando from 67 countries.

Zonta International is a global service organization focused on improving the lives of women and girls in their local communities and around the world. Working closely with the United Nations, Zonta International supports service projects funded by member donations to end obstetric and traumatic fistula for women in

Liberia, towards an HIV-free generation in Rwanda, and delaying early marriage in Niger along with educational awards and scholarships.

While in Orlando, the Zonta Club of the Coos Bay Area was recognized as a top contributor to the Zonta International Foundation by donating over $20,000 during the biennium to ZIF. Local projects of the Zonta Club include the Little Red School House school supply program for low income elementary school children, college scholarships for women, and local financial

support to such programs as the Women’s Safety and Resource Center, the Women’s Health Coalition, T.H.E. House, Maslow Project, and CASA. Local club donations to these projects total well over $50,000 during the biennium.

The terroirist manifesto of Anselme Selosse

BY DAVID WHITE

WHITE’S WINE

“Nature is larger and bigger than all of us. It’s crazy to think that man can dominate nature.”

Anselme Selosse issued this profound statement while explaining his winemaking philosophy one recent morning at his small property in Avize, a village in Champagne’s Côte des Blancs.

“Wines must show the characteristics of the place,” he continued. “Illuminating the vineyard is my obsession.”

For Selosse, wine has a higher purpose. A wine must translate place, clearly expressing the characteristics of the soils and climate in which it’s grown.

This concept — the notion of terroir — is hardly unique.

Winemakers across the world wax poetically about how “wine is made in the vineyard.” When Selosse took over his father’s winery in 1974, however, such talking points weren’t yet clichéd. In Champagne, especially, few producers cared about such things.

There were exceptions, of course. But most of the large producers that dominated the

region sought simply to deliver a consistent product each year.

They purchased grapes from thousands of growers across Champagne and paid by the ton. So growers sought to “dominate nature,” maximizing yields by utilizing fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.

The results were predictably atrocious, but it didn’t matter.

For most producers and virtually every consumer, Champagne wasn’t about wine; it was about luxury.

So Selosse’s philosophy wasn’t just unusual, it was downright revolutionary.

Is it worth it to chop your own burgers? You bet!

Savory delicious chop your own burgers. The trick to chopping the beef is to cut it into 1-inch chunks, then freeze it for about 15 minutes until it is just firm. These partially frozen chunks chop perfectly in the processor without becoming overworked.

BY J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press I’m not going to tell you how to dress your burger. I’m not going to tell you what sort of bun to put your burger on.

I’m not really even going to tell you very much about how to cook your burger.

But I am going to tell you how to make the best burger.

So let’s start there.

Ground beef tends to be overworked during processing. And overworked beef is tough beef. Instead, you

The Associated Press

WINE Characteristics in the soil Continued from Page C1 where he was inspired by the legendary vignerons at Domaine Coche-Dury, Domaine Leflaive, and Domaine des Comtes Lafon.

Shortly after taking over his father’s vineyard holdings, Selosse began moving toward organic farming, obsessing over his land, and managing yields with a focus on quality. He started to push ripeness to its physiological extreme, a difficult feat in France’s northernmost wine region.

In the cellar, Selosse chose to focus on his vin clair — the still wine that’s created before secondary fermentation — because “(it) shows that all the flavors are there; bubbles are just an accessory.”

Although soft-spoken, Selosse speaks with the fervor of a firebrand preacher, the charm of a practiced storyteller, and the passion of a zealous philosopher.

As we chatted in his cellar, Selosse talked at great length about the microorganisms that live in a vineyard’s soil — and the unique characteristics they bring to his wines.

To illustrate this theme, he pointed toward the ceiling, where the hindquarters of several pigs were hanging, slowly curing. For Selosse, the difference between Prosciutto di Parma, Jamon

Iberico, and Jambon de Bayonne can be explained entirely by the flora, fauna, and fungi the pigs feed on in different regions of the world. He quickly extended the argument to cheese, milk, and saké.

A moment later, Selosse pulled out a cigarette lighter, found a piece of paper, and lit it on fire. Within seconds, he was left with a small pile of ash. Since all living things resolve to little more than carbon, he said, the identity of everything we consume is found in the ground.

“Nowhere else in the world can you make wines with the flavors we have here,” he explained, bringing it all back to Champagne.

Scientific? Perhaps not.

But with wines that are so extraordinarily expressive, I’m a believer.

Selosse’s wines aren’t easy to find. Miniscule production and a cult-like following have brought the prices skyhigh. When available, his least expensive offering retails for $165 per bottle.

His impact can’t be overstated. Selosse has inspired a whole generation of growers to pursue wine’s higher purpose. And he has inspired a whole generation of consumers to see Champagne as a vessel, fully capable of expressing a vineyard.

want to grab yourself sirloin steak tips, which are tender, meaty and full of flavor. But you’re not going to grind them. You’re going to chop them in the food processor.

Not only does this prevent the beef from being overworked, it also gives the finished burgers a big beefy, tender steak-like texture.

The trick to chopping the beef is to cut it into 1-inch chunks, then freeze it for about 15 minutes until it is just firm. These partially frozen chunks chop perfectly in the processor without becoming overworked.

For seasoning, you want a blend of finely ground Parmesan cheese and Asian fish sauce. Don’t worry...

The finished burgers will taste neither cheesy nor fishy. Both ingredients disappear into the steaky goodness of the beef without leaving behind noticeable flavors of their own. Yet they still impart tremendously savory flavors that produce an incredibly rich burger.

Once your burgers are formed, how to cook them is your call. I like to grill them briefly over high heat, then finish them over cooler flames until just mediumrare.

Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.

Cut the steak tips into 1inch chunks, then arrange them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pieces of beef are firm, but not frozen solid.

Once the beef is firm, place half of the pieces in the processor (there is no need to wash it out after the Parmesan), then pulse until well chopped, but not ground. This should take about 1 minute of on-off pulsing.

Transfer the chopped beef to the bowl with the cheese, then repeat the procedure with the remaining beef.

Drizzle the fish sauce and soy sauce over the chopped beef, then use your hands to mix everything together.

Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed, but try not to knead or overwork the meat.

Divide the meat into 4 portions, then form each into a burger patty. As you form the patties, use your thumb to press an indentation into the center of each burger. This prevents the burgers from bulging in the center during cooking. The burgers can be grilled immediately or refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Grill the burgers over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until well seared, then either move the burgers to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the flame and cook to desired doneness.

LOCA L N EW S

BRIDGE First, listen closely to the bidding.

If the opponents bid aggressively, but stop in game, be active. If they inch up to game, stay passive, almost certainly leading a trump (or from a strong honor sequence).

In today’s deal, what should West lead against four hearts?

Note that North is right to respond one diamond. With a good hand, responder bids his longest suit first.

North’s four-club rebid is a splinter, showing four-card heart support, at least game-going values and a singleton or void in clubs. (If South has very weak clubs, a slam is a distinct possibility.)

Since North has made a slam suggestion, West should lead actively, selecting the spade two, not a passive trump or diamond queen (especially as dummy rates to have at least five diamonds).

Leading low from length guarantees an honor in that suit. So East should know that he can take dummy’s spade nine with his jack, cash the spade ace, and lead a third round to his partner’s king.

Then East will gain a trump trick for down one.

After a red-suit lead, South can win 11 tricks — quite a difference.

Your intuition will not let you down. Coming to terms with past regrets, your present situation and your plans for the future will give you the confidence you need to succeed. Others may question your beliefs and plans, but you’re the one in charge.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t try to keep up with what others are doing. Spend time on your own projects and take things as they come. If you trust in your abilities, you’ll rise to the top.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you are doubtful about a new offer, reserve judgment until you have all the relevant details. Ask questions and find out what you are dealing with before making a commitment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A partnership will develop and complement what you have to offer, if you are assertive enough.

Be clear about boundaries and honest about your expectations.

Move forward with confidence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Make a point not to lend, borrow or gamble.You will be further ahead if you observe without participating. Love is on the rise, and romance will make your day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t jump at the first offer that comes your way.Wait until you find the most attractive deal and negotiate until it fits your agenda. A savvy show of knowl-

Daniel J. Boorstin, a historian at the University of Chicago who died in 2004, wrote, “The traveler is active; he goes strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes ‘sight-seeing.’ ” At the bridge table, the active defender goes strenuously in search of tricks. The passive defender hopes that tricks will have to be given to him.

edge will lead to success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Financial benefits are possible if you take advantage of a promising deal.You may learn some valuable lessons by helping take care of another’s financial affairs.

Plan a romantic evening.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t be fooled by appearances.The person or deal that seems so attractive at the moment will turn out much worse than anticipated.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t settle for second best.

Your leadership qualities can propel you to the top of your career, so make sure that everyone knows you mean business.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — A personal change will boost your confidence. Look after details that bring you closer to your goals.

Once you feel that you’ve achieved what you want, you will be able to help others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Hard work is good for you, but once in a while you need to take a break. Open your home to friends and colleagues for a night of socializing or networking.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Stay calm and avoid coming on too strong. A demanding approach with others will alienate you. Keep emotions in check and avoid discord.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Someone you have worked with in the past will be the key to a lucrative partnership now.Your moneymaking ideas, propelled by experience and expertise, will take flight if you collaborate.
