County considers public works merger BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World
COQUILLE — Coos County is brainstorming whether merging three of its departments into one overarching public works department would save some overhead costs. The number of employees in each of the parks, roads and solid waste departments has dwindled over the years — Commissioner John Sweet said there will only be
four solid waste staff by January. Roads operates on a $10 million budget, solid waste on $3.5 million and parks on $1.5 million, according to the county’s 2014-2015 budget. “It seemed inefficient to have three different department heads for three different departments that were that size,” Sweet said. “So we thought perhaps we could consolidate some of the management, administrative and clerical functions into one department.” The decision will ultimately
come from the three department heads, who will make a recommendation to the board of commissioners. “We don’t have a strict timeline to do this, but we certainly want to move ahead with it,” Sweet said. Since the current solid waste site operations manager is planning to move into the roads department anyway, the roads and parks leaders will have to work out how to fold staff in to the new department, he said.
The roads department is funded through public works fund revenue, about 40 percent of which comes from motor vehicle fuel taxes. Those revenues are then allocated to road survey, road maintenance, fleet services, capital projects, Oregon Resource Corp. road maintenance and an operating contingency; 21 percent of revenues go to personnel. Solid waste gets its funding from the waste disposal fund, and spends 13 percent on personnel. The majority of parks funding
comes from park fees and RV registration and more than a third of its budget is spent on personnel. At this time, no other county departments are considering a merger. “We’ll take small bites at this and see how this works out and comes together,” Sweet said.

Consumer confidence at 7-year high BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — U.S. consumer confidence this month reached its highest point in nearly seven years, boosted by strong job gains. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its confidence index rose for a fourth straight month to 92.4 from 90.3 in July. The August reading is the highest since October 2007, two months before the Great Recession officially began. The optimism suggests that Americans will be more likely to spend in the months ahead, an important boost to the economy. Consumer spending drives about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. “Enthusiastic households are more likely to open their wallets in the coming months and support solid output growth
in the second half of the year,” said Gregory Daco, an economist at Oxford Economics. The survey found that Americans’ outlook on the job market brightened considerably. The percentage of respondents who said jobs were “plentiful” rose to 18.2 percent from 15.6 percent in July. That’s the highest level since 2008. Consumers’ perceptions generally track the unemployment rate over time. The “substantial improvement in August points to another strong employment report next week,” said Ted Wieseman, an economist at Morgan Stanley. The government’s jobs report for August, to be released next week, will show whether hiring was strong for a seventh straight month. Steady and solid hiring this year has
provided more Americans with paychecks to spend. Employers have added an average of 230,000 jobs a month this year, up from about 195,000 a month in 2013. Average monthly job gains since February have produced the best six-month stretch since 2006. The unemployment rate ticked up to 6.2 percent in July from 6.1 percent in June. But that was because more Americans began looking for work. Most didn’t immediately find jobs, but the increase in people looking for work suggests that they are more confident about their prospects. Lower gasoline prices have also likely helped. The average price of a gallon of gas nationwide Monday was $3.44, the lowest in nearly six months, according to AAA. That leaves Americans with more money to spend on other goods and services.
NORTH BEND — The arrest of the suspect in July’s fatal shooting at the North Bend Community Center came after police lured him to Walmart via text message, court documents show. Now, investigators are looking to the contents of his cellphone to convict him. Miguel Alejandro Iniguez, 29, faces 25 years in prison without parole if convicted of murder in the July 13 shooting of 21-year-old Luis Mario Castillo Murillo. Castillo Murillo was shot and killed around 1 a.m. after a dispute in the community center’s back parking lot. A quinceañera — a coming-ofage celebration for 15-year-old Latina girls — was being held in the building at the time. According to a July 16 search warrant affidavit authored by Detective Jon Bohanan of the North Bend Police Department, one of the witnesses contacted by police was a man Iniguez, a California resident, had been staying with. The man told police that Iniguez, who had also been at the party, was now missing. Also missing was a .45-caliber semiIniguez automatic pistol, identified in other documents as a Vega 1911. As the man spoke to police, they noticed blood on his shirt. He gave officers Iniguez’s cell phone number. “Deputy Gil Datan of the Coos County Sheriff’s Office was assigned to see if he could get the defendant, either by text messaging or by calling the cell phone of the defendant, to reveal his location so police could arrest him,” Bohanan wrote. Datan texted Iniguez, claiming to be a friend of his host and offering help. Iniguez agreed to meet him at the Burger King in the Walmart parking lot. He’d be in custody before he could ever meet the deputy face-to-face. Police arrested Iniguez outside Walmart around 7 a.m. when they responded to a report of a tattooed man in blood-spattered clothes who had bought a new wardrobe and changed into it in a store bathroom. Iniguez had been talking on his phone when he was spotted outside the store. After his arrest, police got a warrant to search its contents. Because Iniguez used the phone while evading capture, Bohanan wrote, there was probable cause to believe it may contain text messages or call data SEE INIGUEZ | A8

WASHINGTON — The Islamic State militant group is holding hostage a young American woman who was doing humanitarian aid work in Syria, a family representative said Tuesday. The 26-year-old woman is the third American known to have been kidnapped by the militant group. The Islamic State group recently threatened to kill American hostages to avenge the crushing airstrikes in Iraq against militants
advancing on Mount Sinjar and the Kurdish capital of Irbil. The 26-year-old woman was captured last year while working with three humanitarian groups in Syria. A representative for the family and U.S. officials asked that the woman not be identified out of fear for her safety. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the issue publicly. More than a week ago, freelance journalist James Foley of Rochester, New Hampshire, was beheaded by the Islamic State

August 2012 and is believed to be held by the Syrian government. Tice was working for The Washington Post, McClatchy Newspapers and other media outlets when he was kidnapped. The Islamic State militant group is seeking to create a caliphate across parts of Syria and Iraq. The militant group is so ruthless in its attacks against all people they consider heretics or infidels that it has been disowned by al-Qaida’s leaders.

U.S. Coast Guard BY GAIL ELBER For The World
The U.S. Coast Guard is an important part of life on the South Coast. Its duties include rescuing endangered mariners and beachgoers by boat and helicopter, patrolling for law enforcement and national defense, and enforcing safety and fisheries regulations at sea. The first federal lifesaving station on the Oregon coast was built southwest of Cape Arago in 1878, and moved to the North Spit of Coos Bay in 1891 and then to By Alysha Beck, The World Charleston in 1968. Federal lifesaving stations were A U.S. Coast Guard Air Station North Bend helicopter lifts a rescue swimmer and established at the mouth of the Coquille and Umpqua rivers in the 1890s.

Firefighters and paramedics from North Bay Fire District responded to a five-car traffic accident at the north end of the McCullough Bridge Tuesday afternoon. The bridge was closed to both north- and southbound lanes as firefighters used the Jaws of Life to free the driver of the log truck. Paramedic Lt. John Aldrich said the most critically injured patient was the log truck driver who required technical extrication. “He was pinned in the cab of the truck due to the log load shifting forward,” Aldrich said.The log truck driver was taken to Bay Area Hospital.The occupants of the other vehicles were all evaluated and treated on site.
Plans afoot for work camp after plant construction NORTH BEND — The city of North Bend wants to make something of the Al Peirce property after the proposed Jordan Cove workforce housing camp packs up and leaves. The Transportation and Growth Management program, an Oregon Department and of Transportation of Land Department Conservation and Development partnership, awarded $2.5 million to transportation and land use planning efforts statewide Tuesday.
The city of North Bend received funds for an Industrial Lands Master Plan, which “will determine the most efficient way to integrate land use, multimodal transportation, and utility improvements at the 50-acre City of North Bend North Point Workforce Housing Project industrial site,” according to the application. The housing camp is expected to be used during Jordan Cove’s four years of construction for, at peak, 2,100 workers. All aboveground facilities will be torn
down once the project is complete, though underground infrastructure will remain. “When the lands used for workforce housing are vacated, the land will be the only ‘shovel ready’ site zoned for heavy industrial use within Coos County,” the city wrote. “The master plan will prepare the city for designing, engineering, and constructing any additional needed improvements to promote the economic vitality of the site when the use of the land reverts to suitability for primarily industrial use.”
The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians also received a grant for their Coos Head Area Planning Project. The confederated tribes want to rezone the 43-acre Coos Head property “to create a balance of areas and facilities to provide mixed usage to include economic development and multimodal transportation improvements.” Eighteen other projects across the state received grants from the program.

Congress takes a break while forests burn Congress is in recess,but our forests still are burning. Our senators and representatives blew out of Washington, D.C. for their annual summer vacation, without taking action on any of a number of common-sense proposals to rework how we pay for firefighting — proposals that over the long run would have helped to reduce the severity of future fires. You know how this story ends: Last week, the chief of the U.S. Agriculture Department said it would have to scale back some Forest Service projects designed to help prevent fires. The money is needed instead to fight this year’s fires, said Tom Vilsack. This has become an annual fiscal dance at the Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management,the two agencies responsible for battling fires on federal lands. The end result, of course, is that next year’s crop of wildfires will burn even hotter and fiercer because we didn’t have money for the type of forest work that would reduce the risk of fire. It’s especially crazy in that lawmakers from both parties generally agree that the funding system is broken. Nevertheless, they left Washington with a pair of proposals still on the table to help safeguard money for fire-prevention projects. Nor has Congress made a decision on a request to add $615 million to the budget to fight wildfires this fiscal year and next. The smoke and haze that will choke the mid-valley for the remainder of the fire season will be more than an annoyance: It will be a

The state doesn’t have to run everything for us Last year, the Oregon Legislature created a task force to look into the possibility of creating a state-run retirement plan open to all working Oregonians. It did so rather than simply getting the state into the retirement business,though it should have been clear that the task force would recommend going ahead with the idea. And so it has, or at least that’s the conclusion drawn in a draft of its final report to the 2015 Legislature. Too many Oregonians retire without the resources to live out their years in relative comfort, the report says. Too few employers offer retirement plans, and not all employees participate when given the opportunity to do so. The state should step in to take up the slack. Bad, bad idea. The task force does not discuss who will pick up the fees for a system in which a state board hires and oversees private fund man-
agers. Fund managers are nice folks, to be sure, but they do not work for free. The report touts the notion of portability of an account from job to job. Yet employees already have the ability to move money from one retirement plan to another without being charged taxes or penalties. Nor does the report suggest what the impact of a state-run, automatic-enrollment system would be on privately offered retirement plans. We’ll agree with the task force on one thing: Too few Oregonians have enough cash stashed for a comfortable retirement. The solution, however, is not a state-run retirement system.

Police body cams provide a valuable tool As the digital age renders traditional definitions of privacy obsolete, it’s understandable that people feel uneasy. But there are benefits to this wired world, too. We speak of the increasingly common practice of police officers wearing compact video cameras that record their encounters with
people. Those encounters often are fraught with tension, fear, aggression and violence, and can have tragic consequences. Such an incident is in the headlines now, after police in Ferguson, Mo., shot and killed an unarmed, 18-year-old man. The officers involved were not wearing body cameras, and there is no video evidence of what took place. Police officers who do their jobs correctly, respect the rights of those they encounter on duty and operate within the law should welcome a video record. Allegations of misconduct can affect an officer’s career,and a video recording can avoid a lengthy investigation. The Talent Police Department has equipped all eight of its officers with body cameras. The equipment was provided by the manufacturer, Taser, in exchange for the department’s contracting to store the videos on the company’s servers. Talent also has dash-mounted cameras in two of its patrol cars. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department uses dash cameras, but among local departments, only Central Point uses body cams routinely. Ashland has two body cameras it is evaluating and testing. Medford does not use body cameras. Cost is clearly an obstacle, especially for large departments. Local agencies and the governments that fund them should weigh the expense against the value of an impartial record of police operations. (Medford) Mail Tribune
Ferguson: a victim of social media Soon the cameras, protesters, gawkers and tweeters will depart Ferguson, Mo., leaving the question: What will be left of this embattled city when the smoke clears? We’ve seen predominantly AfricanAmerican communities caught up in such turmoil before. What’s different this time is the role of social media in changing both how the story is told and the story itself. Twitter has made a bad situation worse — letting loose an indifferent mix of truth, lies, manipulation, good intentions and evil ones. There are those who disagree. Media critic David Carr hailed the explosion of Twitter traffic early in the conflagration as a golden age of citizen journalism.“In a situation hostile to traditional reporting,” Carr added, “the crowdsourced, phone-enabled network of information that Twitter provides has proved invaluable.” Two problems with crowdsourcing. One is the “source.” Tweeters don’t have to identify themselves. Thus, the “information” might well be the fantasy of an online adolescent in C o p e n h a g e n . Inflammatory tweets FROMA might come from real HARROP Ferguson residents expressing their rage or Columnist racists white from attempting to discredit the former’s cause. The other problem is the “crowd” — as in whether there really is a crowd. Twitter lets users set up multiple accounts. Nowadays, vendors sell fake Twitter accounts by the truckload to businesses and celebrities, enabling them to claim a massive “following.” Tech writer Nick Bilton said he recently bought 4,000 new followers on Twitter for $5. Another $5 got him 4,000 friends on Facebook. Skilled corporate marketers use social media to invent fads out of nothing. In a famously successful campaign, Verizon made a stir with questions unrelated to its product,questions such as “Will you help me find my mom?” Political consultants, activists, journalists and pranksters all have access to the same bag of social media tricks. They know how to make a topic pop on Twitter. Consider this rather revealing quote in The Washington Post by Mary Pat Hector, an organizer for Al Sharpton’s national action network: “People have been tweeting,‘We are ready to die tonight.’ It is a trending topic.” If I were a reporter in Ferguson, I’d be following the “Ferguson” hashtag on Twitter — to get some ideas on where to look. Carr is right that in a chaotic situation covering several square miles, one guy with a notebook misses a lot. But that haystack of words is no substitute for anything resembling a reliable account of what’s going on. The illusion of there being a crowd can itself summon crowd. Vying for attention amid the calls for peaceful marches in Ferguson were gleeful invitations to torch the town. Citizen journalism is not always good for the citizens. In pre-Twitter days, old-fashioned TV cameras were known to draw throngs of performers. Now Twitter draws the mobs that draw the TV cameras, which generate even larger numbers. One feels for the benighted people of Ferguson, whose city has become a stage for all kinds of online performances. Let’s hope that when the show moves on, they will have something to rebuild.
Letters to the Editor Better off with pot than alcohol These are some thoughts on the legalization of marijuana. With only the authority of my life experiences, I believe if more people used marijuana and less people used alcohol, our society would benefit a great deal. This is because so many people are violent when they consume alcohol. How many families have endured fueled violence? alcohol Marijuana is known for making people mellow. Alcohol is toxic. A healthy adult can literally poison
themselves in one session. I don't think it is possible to consume enough marijuana to kill yourself. It is interesting that people talk about brain changes with marijuana when alcohol is known for visible brain damage in an autopsy. Alcohol is addictive, marijuana is not, so much. Tobacco is by far the most addictive substance I have used. There has always been a lot of bigotry against marijuana. Millions of people have been denied work and normal services, even prison, for using a substance that by any measurable standards
is kinder to your body, intellect and relationships than alcohol. The federal government classes marijuana in the same class as heroin. This has everything to do with culture war. Those darn hippies dared demonstrate against the Vietnam war, and tricky Nixon got even. Nixon's own drug tzar went on record that marijuana was more benign than alcohol or tobacco and recommended that marijuana be legal. I am pretty sure that by putting my name on this I will lose longterm friends and be ostracized in my church. I am compelled to
speak the truth as I see it. John Fields Coquille

Attorney general rushing to judgment One thing an old Ivy League revolutionary can’t stand is people noticing that he represents the Establishment. That he embodies the System to a point where he can make it stop and make it go.He will go to great lengths to convince himself,if not others,this is not so. Take Eric H. Holder Jr., Columbia College Class of 1973, Columbia Law School Class of 1976, now into his sixth year as U.S. attorney general of the Obama Imperium. The man really wants us to think he is not also “the man.” Yes, he is “the attorney general of the United States,” as Holder told a group of St. Louis Community College students in Ferguson, Mo., last week. “But I am also a black man.” Holder took himself to Ferguson to spur the federal civil rights probe by more than 40 FBI agents into the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black, by 28-year-old police officer Darren Wilson, who is white. As the Justice chief declared at local FBI headquarters: “We’re looking for possible violations of federal civil rights statutes.” Obviously, Holder left those scales of impartiality at home. Not that he would need them in Missouri, where Democrat Gov. Jay Nixon announced “a vigorous prosecu-
tion must now be pursued,” presumably of police officer Wilson. Even the dark suits and American flags fail to obscure the 21st-cen- DIANA tury lynch mob WEST at work. According to Columnist the snap judgment of federal and state authorities, Wilson shot the 6foot-4, 292-pound man multiple times for “racist” reasons. The other story out there gathering reportorial mass is that Wilson fired as Brown charged him after having beaten Wilson to the point of fracturing his orbital socket and rendering the six-year veteran cop nearly unconscious, but, heavens, don’t let what’s quaintly known as the judicial process function unimpeded to ascertain the facts. In his “closed-door meeting” — no media — at the community college, Holder wanted students to know he understood their “mistrust” of police. In fact, he wanted the whole country to know it because the Justice Department later released excerpts of his remarks. “I can remember being stopped on the New Jersey Turnpike on two occasions and accused of speeding,”
the handout says. “Pulled over ... ‘Let me search your car’ ... Go through the trunk of my car, look under the seats and all this kind of stuff. I remember how humiliating that was and how angry I was and the impact it had on me.” Hang on a sec. As a young man, my husband was pulled over on the New Jersey Turnpike. The state trooper ordered him to take his suitcase out of his car and dump his belongings on the ground. The officer looked at everything, through the trunk, under the backseat, turning up a pebble the officer tentatively identified as a “marijuana seed.” Then he noticed an unusual object in the mess. “What’s that?” he demanded. “Avon aftershave,” my future husband replied, unscrewing the cap of the Snoopy-shaped bottle. My husband remembers only anger and humiliation over the incident, and he is neither attorney general nor a black man. Call it equal-opportunity police thuggishness. Holder’s remarks continue. “I think about my time in Georgetown — a nice neighborhood of Washington,” he added, underselling grossly Washington’s fabled section for WASP bluebloods — “and I am running to a picture movie at about 8 o’clock at night. I am run-
ning with my cousin. Police car comes driving up, flashes his lights, yells, ‘Where you going? Hold it!’ I say, ‘Woah, I’m going to a movie.’ Now my cousin started mouthing off. I’m like, ‘This is not where we want to go. Keep quiet.’ I’m angry and upset. We negotiate the whole thing and we walk to our movie. At the time that he stopped me, I was a federal prosecutor. ... So I’ve confronted this myself.” Confronted what? Another bell goes off.I think about my time in a middle-class, “diverse” neighborhood in D.C. when my daughter’s boyfriend, walking around the block to kill nothing more than time, was rousted by local police, who spread-eagled him against the squad car. The point is not simply that Holder’s experiences are not racially unique. Nor is it that he seems to be using them to feign “street cred” with young people less privileged than he. What should outrage every American is the spectacle of an attorney general serving not the principle and practice of the law, but rather using his considerable powers and influence to scapegoat a policeman who is presumed innocent, who hasn’t been charged,let alone tried. Serving to perpetuate racial animosity, not justice, the U.S. attorney general is leading the rush to judgment.

State Couple weighs 3 bodies of reconciliation family five years after members violent split
No ballot measures get GOP support STATE
found in lake
DEAR ABBY: Five years ago, my husband got drunk and physically attacked me in front of his family. It was horrible. I was in shock, and our relationship never recovered. The next four years were a series of court visits for custody of our child and eventually a divorce. Last year, his mother began requesting visits with our son. I was happy about it because I have tried to be accommodating to my ex and his family regarding our son. Finally, late last year, I called my ex to ask if we could sit down and discuss our son (something we had DEAR n e v e r done). We have met twice during the last two weeks, and each time had long conversations a b o u t JEANNE everything. PHILLIPS (Our son, our past, our relaMany tionship.) misconceptions were cleared up, and it’s obvious that we both have made many necessary changes within ourselves. Now I’m confused about what comes next. Speaking with him has brought back so many feelings. Prior to the attack, our stress levels had been high and our communication was terrible, but there had been no physical violence. I’m not sure if this is the universe giving us an opportunity to give the family we started another chance. Should we start over? — WAVERING IN NEW YORK DEAR WAVERING: What comes next might be that you and your ex can become good friends and parent your son in a congenial, cooperative fashion. What comes next might be that you rekindle your romance. Or it might be that you get back together and he assaults you again. If your ex has sought help for his drinking and anger management issues, a reconciliation could work out beautifully. However, if he hasn’t, I certainly wouldn’t recommend it. Sometimes people can care deeply about each other, but shouldn’t be married. DEAR ABBY: My 95-yearold mom feels that her age “entitles” her to speak without a filter, and she has become totally intolerant and critical. She is mentally sharp and highly intelligent, which makes her nasty comments even more hurtful to family and friends. Standing up to her isn’t an option because of her age and she knows it. She doesn’t seem to recognize how damaging her attitude has become to those who love her. If you could print this and offer some advice, she might recognize herself. — A LOVING SON DEAR LOVING SON: The fact that someone has celebrated 95 birthdays does not give the person license to be deliberately unkind to others. Negativity is an unattractive trait, regardless of how old you are. People who deliberately say hurtful things invariably find the circle of those who want to be around them shrinking. My advice to your mother would be, before opening her mouth, ask herself whether what she has to say is true, helpful and KIND. And if it isn’t all THREE, she should rephrase her comment or not say it at all. DEAR ABBY: What does one say to casual acquaintances who stop by uninvited and with no prior phone call? — NANCY IN AURORA, COLO. DEAR NANCY: Let me tell you first what one DOESN’T say. It’s “Come in!” It is perfectly acceptable to explain that the person caught you in the middle of your housework or a project you need to finish and, please, in the future to call before dropping by so you can make some plans together.

GASTON (AP) — It was supposed to be a pleasant lakeside picnic for a 42-yearold mother, her 25-year-old daughter, teenage son and 3year-old grandson. But for reasons that are still unclear it turned into a tragedy. All four family members were found drowned at Henry Hagg Lake, a popular reservoir 25 miles west of Portland. Divers on Tuesday recovered three of the bodies near a picnic area — the day after lake goers found the 3-yearold boy face-down in the water and unconscious, near the same spot. They and emergency officials performed CPR, but the boy died at the scene. No one saw what happened Monday. Law enforcement officials said they found no sign of foul play. “We’re just considering this a tragic accident,” said Sgt. Bob Ray of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies identified the three bodies found Tuesday as those of Jova IxtacuaCastano, 42, her daughter
The Associated Press
Rescue personnel search Henry Hagg Lake, a reservoir in Gaston, west of Portland, Tuesday, for family members of a child who apparently drowned Monday at the lake. “Deputies fear there may be additional drowning victims,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a press release. Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua, 25, and son Michael GarciaIxtacua, 13. The 3-year-old boy was identified as Jeremy Scholl, the son of Gabriela GarciaIxtacua. The family lived in nearby Hillsboro. Authorities said the side of Henry Hagg Lake where the four family members were found is heavily used by swimmers and has been the site of numerous other drownings and near drownings. The area is dangerous because of a steep underwater drop-off formed by the channel of a former river bed that runs into the reservoir, and due to a muddy, slippery bottom. The drop-off is especially treacherous toward the end of summer, when the water level
gets low, said the fire chief of nearby Gaston, Roger Mesenbrink, who has responded to multiple drownings at that spot. “The channel becomes deceiving because it looks like it’s not deep, and it isn’t when you first walk in. But then it abruptly drops off, and you go from 2 feet to 10 feet of water in a second,” Mesenbrink said. “If you slip off that edge, you’ll take a gulp of water and it’s hard to make it back unless you’re a strong swimmer.” A life jacket kiosk was installed at the picnic area after the 2008 drowning, but the four family members Monday didn’t use life jackets — despite the fact that relatives told investigators the four did not know how to swim, Mesenbrink said.
SALEM (AP) — The Oregon Republican Party is not recommending a “yes” vote on any of the seven measures on the ballot in November. The GOP’s State Central Committee voted Saturday to oppose five of the measures. The committee took no position on two others. Republicans say voters should reject marijuana legalization and labeling requirements for foods with genetically modified ingredients. The GOP also isn’t keen on granting driving privileges to people who can’t prove they’re legally in the United States or authorizing the state to sell bonds to provide college financial assistance.
Church knew abuser ran youth program PORTLAND (AP) — Two 50-year-old men allege the Seventh-day Adventist Church put a man known to abuse children in charge of its youth program in the 1970s and kept him in that position, even after learning he was accused of abusing a child in the program. The men filed suit in Oregon on Tuesday, seeking $15 million from the Maryland-based church and
D I G E S T its Oregon branch, alleging sexual battery, inflicting emotional distress, fraud and negligence. The men say they were abused in the 1970s but only discovered in 2012 that the church knew it had a convicted child molester in its ranks and did nothing.
Man wounded friend, shot self in groin PORTLAND (AP) — It wasn’t the first time Joseph Johnson III had shot someone, but his decision to stuff a .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun down the front of his pants as he fled had dramatic consequences. Portland police say Johnson ended up shooting himself in the testicles. Officers arrested him nearby. The Oregonian reports the man was convicted of shooting someone in San Francisco in 1994 and someone else in Multnomah County in 2006 — both over drug disputes. In this case, a jury convicted Johnson of robbery, assault and possession of methamphetamine.

MaryAnn Wilson May 5, 1934 - Aug. 16, 2014
A memorial service will be held for MaryAnn Wilson, 80, of Coquille at 1 p.m. S a t u r d a y, Aug. 30, at St. James Episcopal Church, 210 E. Third St., in Coquille. A reception will follow in the MaryAnn Wilson c h u r c h Fellowship Hall immediately after the service. MaryAnn was born May 5, 1934, to Roger and Lucille Thomas in Coos Bay, where Lucille’s family, the Sanfords, settled in the Haynes Inlet area. MaryAnn and Larry Wilson were high school sweethearts. They were married the summer after graduating high school. This year, July 5, they celebrated 63 years of marriage. Their first few years together they lived in Roseburg area, Myrtle Creek and Glide. New Year’s Day of 1954 they moved back to Coquille and have been here ever since. Together they had four children. Family was a priority for them. They were devoted to each other, their family, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews. As a woman of strong faith she was involved in many areas of the Episcopal Church. During an interim period when the church was between ministers she was the senior warden and very active in officiating the services. She would also help with the soup suppers and bookkeeping. MaryAnn was very passionate with a high standard of ethics. She devoted herself to family first, and her efforts to educate herself were diverse, extensive and selfmotivated. MaryAnn managed the Sears store in Coquille. She worked in Coos Bay as the head escrow officer for Ticor Title, and then MaryAnn entered into the political arena. She was elected Coos County clerk in 1977, and

Siempre con una sonrisa contagiosa y unas palabras de ánimo, era amigo de todos. Aunque por causa del cáncer su vida fue acortada, la aprovechó para hacer la voluntad de Jehová Dios. Por eso confiamos que held the office until May 1998, when she retired. She was a voracious reader for education, as well as for pleasure. She took several college courses to educate herself in whatever endeavor she chose to pursue. She took additional law courses at one point, because as Coos County clerk, part of her job was to work with the courts. She worked hard to empower others to reach their full potential and find their success. MaryAnn was a member of Beta Sigma Phi Master Tau, pledging in October 1960 and active through August 2014. Sorority was a highlight of pleasure, pride and everlasting friendships. Her hobby was cooking and baking with a desire to write a cookbook. Her kitchen was always full of love and creations, one would never leave the house without what she knew to be their favorite food or pastry. She was an inspiration to many and irreplaceable to all who knew her and will be greatly missed. She was surrounded by love and family when she passed.

In wake of Ferguson, police try to build trust

Miley Cyrus, front, hugs Jesse Helt, right, at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The young homeless man who accompanied Cyrus to the MTV Video Music Awards has a warrant out for his arrest in Oregon. Helt gained worldwide attention Sunday when Cyrus let him accept her award for video of the year.
Miley Cyrus’ date wanted by Polk County authorities PORTLAND (AP) — The young homeless man who accompanied Miley Cyrus to the MTV Video Music Awards has a warrant out for his arrest in Oregon. Jesse Helt, 22, was arrested on charges of criminal mischief, criminal trespass and burglary in 2010. According to court records, he broke into the apartment of a man who had been selling what Helt believed to be bad marijuana. Helt, who was 18 at the time, pleaded guilty to criminal mischief and criminal trespass, both misdemeanors, and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and probation. The arrest warrant was issued in November 2011 after he violated probation. Helt moved to Los Angeles and lived on the streets while trying to find work as a model. He gained worldwide attention Sunday when Cyrus let him accept her award for video of the year. Helt, who met Cyrus through the Hollywood homeless center My Friend’s
Place, used the platform to call attention to the issue of youth homelessness. “I am accepting this award on behalf of the 1.6 million runaways and homeless youth in the United States who are starving, lost, and scared for their lives right now,” Helt said. “I know this because I am one of these people.” Polk County Director of Community Corrections Martin Silbernagel said Tuesday officials are trying to locate Helt and arrest him. He said Helt repeatedly failed to meet with his probation officer. “He doesn’t make himself available to community supervision, and he takes off,” Silbernagel said. Linda Helt, Jesse’s mother, told reporters Monday that Cyrus had given her son some money and he was flying home for a visit. Sheriff’s detective John Williams went to the mother’s Salem home Tuesday, but did not find Helt. Williams said he spoke with the family and let them know he’s looking for Jesse.
DALLAS (AP) — In the aftermath of the police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, some police departments are renewing efforts to reach out to black communities to build trust — holding public meetings, fielding questions and letting people voice the anger they feel toward officers who patrol their neighborhoods. Dallas Police Chief David Brown considers it a preventative step. “I’d much rather they shout at me at a town hall meeting at a church and get to know me afterward than not have a relationship,” Brown said. After a police shooting has already happened, “it’s too late to try to establish relationships.” Dallas has had 13 police shootings so far this year, leading to eight deaths. That follows last year’s tally of 22 shootings and six deaths, according to police. To reassure the public, Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins recently announced he would begin sending two prosecutors to independently investigate each police shooting. Both Brown and Watkins are black and grew up in Dallas. Watkins described his own mistrust of law enforcement as a young man and said more needs to be done to restore public confidence in law-enforcement agencies, particularly among blacks and Latinos. “This is a reality that we deal with in this country,” Watkins said. “And until we face it, we’re always going to have issues like Ferguson. I don’t want to have the same thing happen here.” Two Dallas officers were recently fired and indicted for separate shootings of civilians. To address the issue, the
Journalist held captive in Syria arrives in US BOSTON (AP) — Journalist Peter Theo Curtis returned home to the United States on Tuesday, two days after being freed by a Syrian extremist group that held him hostage for 22 months, his family said. Curtis family spokeswoman Betsy Sullivan said in a statement that Curtis arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport Tuesday afternoon after leaving Tel Aviv. By evening he had been reunited with his mother Nancy Curtis at Boston Logan International Airport. “I have been so touched and moved, beyond all words, by the people who have come up to me today — strangers on the airplane, the flight attendants, and most of all my family — to say welcome home,” Curtis said in the statement.

long guns, which are permitted in most public places in Texas. Several protesters said their concerns went beyond Ferguson. “A lot of people today are talking about Mike Brown,” one of the group’s organizers, Charles Goodson, told Dallas television station WFAA. “Mike Brown is not an isolated incident. We have many Mike Browns in the city of Dallas.” At a town hall meeting, the mother of a Dallas man killed by police confronted top law enforcement officials about what they were doing to protect civilian lives.
NEW HOPE, Minn. (AP) — An American man believed to have been killed in Syria was there to fight alongside an extremist militant group, most likely the Islamic State, a U.S. official said Tuesday. Investigators were aware that Douglas McAuthur McCain was in the country to fight with the militant group, but they did not yet have his body and were still trying to verify information about his death, said the official, who was not authorized to discuss by name an ongoing investigation and spoke only on condition of anonymity.

department is running a pilot program for body cameras and buying more Tasers to give officers a less-deadly option to subdue attackers, Brown said. The fraught relationship between police and black residents was evident last week when a group of black protesters marched through south Dallas chanting the name of Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old shot to death by a Ferguson officer. The group calls itself the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, after one of the co-founders of the Black Panthers. About 30 people carried signs and

Third doctor dies from Ebola in Sierra Leone
The Associated Press
Palestinians walk Tuesday in front of the damage of the Italian Complex following several late night Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City, in the northern Gaza Strip. Israel bombed two Gaza City high-rises with dozens of homes and shops, collapsing the 15-storey Basha Tower and severely damaging the Italian Complex in a further escalation in seven weeks of cross-border fighting with Hamas.
Gaza cease-fire holds as sides weigh gains JERUSALEM (AP) — An open-ended cease-fire and Israel between Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip was holding Wednesday, as many people on both sides of the conflict wondered what was gained during 50 days of fighting. The Gaza war — the third round of fighting since the Islamic militant group Hamas seized power in 2007 — left more than 2,200 people dead, caused widespread destruction in the densely populated coastal territory and paralyzed large parts of southern Israel during much of the summer. After more than seven weeks of fighting, the two sides settled for an ambiguous interim agreement in exchange for a period of calm. Hamas, though badly battered, remains in control of Gaza with part of its military arsenal intact. Israel and Egypt will maintain a blockade tightened seven years ago, despite Hamas’ longrunning demand that the border restrictions be lifted. On Wednesday, the Israeli military said there were no reports of violations since the cease-fire went into effect at 7 p.m. (9 a.m. PDT) Tuesday. Hamas declared victory, even though it had little to
show for a war that killed 2,143 Palestinians, wounded more than 11,000 and left some 100,000 homeless. On the Israeli side, 64 soldiers and six civilians were killed, including two by Palestinian mortar fire shortly before the cease-fire was announced. Thousands of residents of southern Israeli communities in range of Hamas rocket and mortar fire fled their homes in favor of safer areas as critthe over icism grew government’s conduct of the war. Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had deliberately not put the cease-fire to a vote in his security Cabinet because of opposition from ministers who wanted to continue the fighting. Tourism Minister Uzi Landau, a longstanding security hawk, lambasted the Israeli leadership in comments to Israel Radio early Wednesday for “wanting peace at any price,” an approach that he said would undermine Israel’s ability to deter militants. Netanyahu came in for particularly piercing criticism from veteran political commentator Nahum Barnea, whose columns tend to reflect mainstream public opinion.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) — A third top doctor has died from Ebola in Sierra Leone, a government official said Wednesday, as health workers tried to determine how a fourth scientist also contracted the disease before being evacuated to Europe. The announcements raised worries about Sierra Leone’s fight against Ebola, which already has killed more than 1,400 people across West Africa. The World Health Organization said it was sending a team to investigate how the epidemiologist now undergoing treatment in Germany may have contracted the disease that kills more than half its victims. “The international surge of health workers is extremely important and if something happens, if health workers get infected and it scares off other international health workers from coming, we will be in dire straits,” said Christy Feig, director of WHO communications. Dr. Sahr Rogers had been working at a hospital in the eastern town of Kenema when he contracted Ebola, said Sierra Leonean presidential adviser Ibrahim Ben Kargbo on Wednesday. Two other top doctors already have succumbed to Ebola since the outbreak emerged there earlier this year, including Dr. Sheik Humarr
930
Khan, who also treated patients in Kenema. Rogers’ death marks yet another setback for Sierra Leone, a country still recovering from years of civil war, where there are only two doctors per 100,000 people, according to WHO. By comparison, there are 245 doctors per 100,000 in the United States. The Senegalese epidemiologist who was evacuated to Germany had been doing surveillance work for the
U.N. health agency, said Feig, the WHO spokeswoman. The position involves coordinating the outbreak response by working with lab experts, health workers and hospitals, but does not usually involve direct treatment of patients. “He wasn’t in treatment centers normally,” she said by telephone from Sierra Leone. “It’s possible he went in there and wasn’t properly covered, but that’s why we’ve taken this unusual
measure — to try to figure out what happened.” WHO said late Tuesday that it was pulling out its team from the eastern Sierra Leonean city of Kailahun, where the epidemiologist working with the organization was recently infected. The team was exhausted and the added stress of a colleague getting sick could increase the risk of mistakes, said Daniel Kertesz, the organization’s representative in the country.
No sign of quick end to Ukraine conflict MINSK, Belarus (AP) — Ukraine’s president said Wednesday that Vladimir Putin accepts the principles of a peace plan for Ukraine but the Russian leader insisted that only Kiev can reach a cease-fire deal with the proMoscow separatists. Following meetings between Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that included a one-on-one session that stretched into the night, there was no indication of a quick end to the fighting that has engulfed eastern Ukraine. “This is not our business,” Putin said of any cease-fire plan. “This is Ukraine’s business.” Russia “can only help to create an atmosphere of trust for this important and necessary process,” Putin said. “We in Russia cannot talk about any conditions for the cease-fire, about any agreeKiev, between ments Donetsk, Luhansk,” the two rebel regions.

leaders who attended the summit and Putin called the sessions “overall positive,” the first substantial encounter between the two leaders did not produce a breakthrough in efforts to end the fighting. If anything, there were
signs of spreading violence. For the past two days, heavy shelling hit an area of southeast Ukraine that had escaped the intense fighting of recent weeks, and Ukrainian officials said the pro-Russia separatists it has been battling

Biologist: New collar for wolf OR-7 no easy matter BY JEFF BARNARD The Associated Press GRANTS PASS — Biologists trying to put a new GPS tracking collar on Oregon’s famous wandering wolf, OR-7, could be camping out in the southern Oregon Cascades for weeks before they are successful. U.S. Fish and Wildlife biologist John Stephenson says the upcoming operation involves setting out leg-hold traps with padded jaws in likely locations, then checking every morning to see if a wolf has
stepped into one — a process that could take weeks. “The capture is not all that glamorous a thing,” he said. “It usually involves a lot of days of getting up at the crack of dawn and going out and finding nothing in the trap.” The morning they do, biologists will use a syringe mounted on a pole to inject a tranquilizer to immobilize the wolf, weigh it and take a blood sample, all the while monitoring its vital signs to be sure it is OK. If it is OR-7’s mate that steps in the trap, the blood sample could
reveal what pack she is from through DNA analysis. If it is one of the pups, biologists will keep trying to catch an adult. OR-7 set off in search of a mate in September 2011, covering thousands of meandering miles from his birthplace in northeastern Oregon to northern California before settling in southwest Oregon. Against the odds, he found a mate last winter, and by September their pups should be big enough that they won’t be hurt in case they step into one of the traps. If OR-7 hadn’t found a mate, no
one would be trying to put a new collar on him, Stephenson said. Though the public has been fascinated by OR-7’s movements, wildlife managers are more interested in the movements of his pack. Oregon’s wolf management plan calls for collaring at least one individual from each pack. And if they make it into winter with a pair of surviving pups, they will be the first pack in western Oregon in more than half a century. Besides offering data on their habits, locations are vital in determining whether they have attacked
livestock — something OR-7 has yet to do. Rob Klavins of the conservation group Oregon Wild said people have mixed feelings about collaring wolves. Wolves have died in collaring operations, and while collars help scientists understand wolves better, collars make it easier to track wolves down if they prey on livestock. Any wolves may be somehow less wild wearing a collar. But the fact remains that without his collar, OR-7 would never have become the celebrity he is.
Bend college faces 2015 budget struggle BEND (AP) — As OSUCascades battles a legal challenge to break ground on the first phase of its planned four-year campus, funding for later development may be in danger of being delayed. For every legislative session, the state’s public universities and the Higher Education Coordinating Committee work to put together a university capital request prioritization list. Because state money for capital projects is limited, the list offers the Legislature and governor an idea of what projects are most important. University leaders meet to present their “tier one” projects — those they hope to see funded with the greatest urgency — which the Higher Education Coordinating
Committee then orders into a prioritized list. State When Oregon University — which oversees OSU-Cascades — submitted its list of projects, funds for the Bend branch ranked below three other projects. As a result, the $30 million OSU-Cascades request for state support didn’t even break the top 14, falling into an unordered second tier with eight other projects. In the second tier, funding is far from guaranteed. “We would prefer to be in the top tier,” said Becky Johnson, an OSU vice president and the leader of OSU-Cascades. “I know there’s a lot of requests, and it’s always a matter of prioritizing, and I’m disappointed we’re not in tier one. But the
process isn’t complete; there’s still a lot of discussion between the universities and HECC to be had with the governor and Legislature. It’s not over until the last day of the Legislature.” Depending on how money is allocated in the state’s budget, it’s possible funding could cover tier one and beyond. However, even projects in the top tier may not be funded. Both scenarios have happened before, though the latter has been seen more. OSU-Cascades has already received $16 million in state bonds, backed by $4 million in university funds and just under $5 million in philanthropic support. That money is earmarked to develop a 10acre parcel with dorms and academic buildings on Bend’s
Quake is a major test for Vallejo VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) — The historic blue-collar town of Vallejo is a short distance but a far cry from the touristy Napa Valley vineyards and quaint towns. So when Sunday’s earthquake struck, the damage to the wine industry took center stage and the rubble in Vallejo got scant attention. The bayside city that twice was briefly the capital of California sustained millions of dollars in damage and dozens of people were injured, with a couple hospitalized. Just 10 miles from the quake’s epicenter, parts of the town suffered broken windows and collapsed masonry.
On Vallejo’s Mare Island, the first U.S. naval shipyard on the Pacific, numerous century-old buildings used today by more than 100 businesses and other enterprises suffered damage, mostly to their facades, officials said. The quake — although it exacted a greater toll in damage and injuries in Napa Valley — was the latest blow to a hard-luck community that has weathered years of bankruptcy and is now beset by poverty, gangs and crime. For City Manager Daniel Keen, the magnitude-6.0 quake posed the first major test for this city of about 100,000 people since it
emerged from bankruptcy three years ago with budget, staff and public services pared back. Vallejo is less than 15 miles south of tony Napa, the wining, dining and tourism center hardest hit by Sunday’s quake, but Vallejo is in some ways a world away. While the wine country thrived, financial mismanagement and the collapse of the housing bubble meant Vallejo took one of the hardest dives of any city in the recent recession. Bankruptcies, mortgage defaults and joblessness soared. The city’s poverty rate stands at 16 percent.
west side, unless a pending land use challenge from residents is able to thwart the project. Johnson said the $30 million request, which would be complemented with $10 million in university funds,would be used to turn an adjacent 46-acre pumice mine the university is considering for purchase into a workable campus. Money would also be used for an additional academic building, the placing of which hasn’t been set, and to support the master planning process, which will be required by city code. “The 10-acre campus will get us through 2017, at which point we will reach capacity for the buildings we are planning right now,” Johnson said. “If we want the new building
in place, we need bonds in the 2015-2017 session. If we can’t do that, we’ll need to figure out a plan B to accommodate our student population in 2017-2018.” Johnson said the goal is to try to receive funding this session regardless of being placed in the second tier “without displacing anything else on the list.” Ahead of the OSUCascades project in tier one are requests for a $60 million forest science complex — ranked No. 2 overall and funded evenly by the state and OSU — and money for a planned marine studies campus in Newport. There is also a request for $10 million in state funds to support accessibility improvements in Corvallis.

The CPJ described the widespread seizure of journalists as unprecedented and largely unreported by news organizations in the hope that keeping the kidnappings out of public view may help to negotiate the captives’ release. The group reported 52 journalists have been killed since Syria’s civil war began in early 2011 and documented at least 24 other journalists who disappeared earlier this year but are now safe. Separately, the Parisbased Reporters Without Borders last fall cited higher figures, saying at least 60 “news providers” are being detained and more than 110 have been killed.
52 journalists killed since 2011 Continued from Page A1 President Barack Obama said in a speech in North Carolina on Tuesday that “America does not forget” and vowed justice for Foley’s murder. In its annual report last November, the New Yorkbased Committee to Protect Journalists estimated at least 30 journalists have been kidnapped or have disappeared in Syria — held and threatby ened with death extremists or taken captive by gangs seeking ransom.

INIGUEZ Next court date set for Oct. 6 Continued from Page A1 related to the shooting. A separate warrant authorized police to take oral swabs for DNA. Investigators hoped the results of forensic DNA analysis would tie Iniguez to the .45, the presumed murder weapon, which was found several blocks away from the scene by a Coos Bay police K9. They also photographed his tattoos. “A common theme from the witnesses who at one point or another had actually observed the shooter of the deceased is that the shooter of the deceased had tattoos on various parts of his body, most notably his head, neck and arms,” Bohanan wrote. Iniguez has multiple large tattoos on his head, including the words “So Cal” and “Reyes” — Spanish for “kings.” According to a probable cause statement filed after his arrest, the latter was specifically identified by a witness to the shooting. In addition to murder, Iniguez is also charged with first-degree theft and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He’s next scheduled to be back in Coos County Circuit Court at 8:30 a.m. Oct. 6 for a status conference.

Sports proves polarizing
The Associated Press
CiCi Bellis celebrates after scoring a point against Dominika Cibulkova during their first-round match at the U.S. Open on Tuesday.
Teenager has big U.S. Open debut NEW YORK (AP) — While 15year-old American CiCi Bellis was in the process of stunning a Grand Slam finalist to become the youngest player to win a U.S. Open match since 1996, her father did his best to conceal his emotions courtside. Like many a teen, CiCi has strict rules for Dad in public — even if his 1,208th-ranked daughter is pulling out a back-and-forth 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 victory Tuesday over 12th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova in the first round at Flushing Meadows. “I’m told I cannot sigh and I cannot move or say anything (because) that distracts her, so I
just have to sit there like a Sphinx and just smile and pray,” the elder Bellis, Gordon, explained with a deadpan delivery. “She hears me when I sigh. So I can’t sigh.” Ah, yes, the joys of raising kids. And make no mistake, Bellis is a kid. She is home-schooled and about to start 10th grade. Her first memory of the U.S. Open is watching on TV while Maria Sharapova played. She likes to hang out at the mall with friends back home in California. Asked whether she’s a fan of pop star Justin Bieber, Bellis answered, “I used to like him when I was younger, a couple years ago.” Her victory was part of a 9-4
showing by American women Tuesday, including 8-0 against unseeded opponents. In an allAmerican match at night, another teen, Taylor Townsend, lost quickly to two-time defending champion Serena Williams 6-3, 6-1. “We have such an amazing future,” Williams said about U.S. women’s tennis. “We have so much to look forward to.” Her win came after Roger Federer beat Marinko Matosevic 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (4) with Michael Jordan sitting in Federer’s guest box in Arthur Ashe Stadium. “Growing up, he was my big sporting idol,” Federer said.
“Having him here is unbelievably special.” Aside from the Williams sisters, American tennis fans have not had much reason to cheer for their own in the latter stages of major tournaments in recent years. That’s why the occasional run by a young U.S. player — think Melanie Oudin, wearing “Believe” on her sneakers in 2009 — stirs interest at Flushing Meadows. “Believing was the No. 1 thing that I had to do today,” said Bellis, whose nickname CiCi is derived from the initials of her first and middle names, Catherine Cartan.

Mannion matures as leader for Beavers BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press
CORVALLIS — The difference in Sean Mannion is marked: The once soft-spoken and reserved quarterback for Oregon State has blossomed into a confident full-fledged leader in his senior season for the Beavers. “I think it’s just growing older and getting more comfortable in your surroundings,” said Mannion, a fifth-year senior. “At this point I’ve been here four, going on five years. You get comfortable with everyone and you get a feel about how to talk with your teammates about whatever is going on, good or bad. It happens with experience.” A perfect fit in Oregon State’s pro-style offense, Mannion set a Pac-12 season record for yards passing last season with 4,662. He threw an Oregon State-record 37 touchdown passes, third-most for a single season in conference history. Mannion, who has 10,436 career yards passing, needs 1,839 more this season to pass USC’s Matt Barkley as the all-time Pac-12 leader. The Beavers open the season at home Saturday against Portland State. His favorite target last season was Brandin Cooks, who became the Biletnikoff award winner as the nation’s top receiver, setting a league record with 128 catches and a national-best 1,730 yards. Cooks declared for the NFL draft a year early and went to the New Orleans Saints in the

Turf war brews before 2015 Women’s World Cup BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press
Even actor Tom Hanks has an opinion about whether the athletes at the 2015 Women’s World Cup should play on artificial turf or grass. A group of players from the U.S. women’s national team, who will vie for a spot in the World Cup in October qualifying, have joined with several international players in protesting the turf surfaces for next summer’s big event in Canada. And they’re getting rapidly growing support from the sport’s fans, including Hanks. Last week Hanks, a big soccer fan, voiced his support on Twitter: “Opinion: Women’s World Cup is the best Soccer of the year. Hey FIFA, they deserve real grass. Put in sod. Hanx.” The athletes say that it’s not just a safety issue because turf is less forgiving than natural grass, it’s about equity. They argue the men weren’t asked to play soccer’s top international tournament on a fake surface. “It really goes down to this: The
men would never play a World Cup on turf, so why should the women? It’s the same tournament. It’s the World Cup,” U.S. forward Sydney Leroux said. “It’s the biggest thing that we have for soccer. Why would we play on something that’s not real?” The athletes have formally joined in a letter of protest penned to FIFA, the sport’s international governing body, and the Canadian Soccer Association. If they don’t hear back soon, legal action could be taken in Canada based on that country’s laws against gender-based discrimination. Boies, Schiller & Flexner, the law firm involved in the recent lawsuit filed by former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon against the NCAA, drafted the letter on behalf of the players and is prepared to go to court. “I think it resonates with a lot of people,” said Boise Schiller & Flexner attorney Hampton Dellinger. “It’s important in and of itself, but it’s also important on a symbolic level, that if SEE SOCCER | B2
thought I could still make improvements at the college level. I know someday I want to go to the NFL, but I want to know I became the best college player I could first,” he said. “From there it was an easy decision — I love it here at Oregon State. There’s nowhere that I’d rather be right now, improving as a player and helping our team win games this season.” Oregon State coach Mike Riley couldn’t be happier. “I’m really proud of him just because he’s a great young man in our program, (going) from a guy that was probably what I would call relatively shy when he was a freshman into being now a guy that is not only a leader by example, but a vocal leader, too,” Riley said at Pac-12 media day. Just a season ago in fall camp, Mannion was competing with Cody Vaz for the starting job. Mannion came out on top, but got off to a rocky start when the Beavers fell 49-46 at home to lower-division Eastern Washington in the season opener. The Beavers rebounded and reeled off six straight wins to become bowl eligible seven games into the season. Along the way, the 6foot-5 Mannion was widely considered a Heisman hopeful. But Oregon State lost its remaining five regular-season games. The slide ended with a 3823 victory over Boise State in the Hawaii Bowl, giving the Beavers a 7-6 finish. SEE MANNION | B4
Bay Area schools hold athlete nights tonight, Thursday THE WORLD The Bay Area’s two high schools will hold their athlete nights today and tomorrow. There is no admission for either event and parents and fans are encouraged to attend. Meet the Bulldogs is tonight at Vic Adams Field with a barbecue featuring a $5 hamburger meal starting at 5 p.m. The meal is provided by the North Bend Booster Club, which feeds all the athletes for free. The program, which includes introducing all the fall athletes and their coaches, as well as the band and cheerleaders, starts at 6 p.m. Marshfield, meanwhile, will hold its annual Meet the Pirates night on Thursday at Pete Susick Stadium. The Marshfield Booster Club barbecue begins at 5 p.m., with a $6 price for the hamburger meal. Like at North Bend, the club will provide dinner for the athletes. The program begins about 6:30 p.m. in Pete Susick Stadium and will include scrimmages by the soccer and football teams and performances by the cheer and dance teams.
Polarization. Five syllables that have woven their way into the fabric of American talking points. Politics cling to it. Sports has welcomed it. It’s why First Take exists, and frankly, it’s why I try to evade sports arguments like they’re Ebola. There’s always a moment in most arguments, and I think this may be somewhat universal, where I just can see both parties don’t agree on a topic. I usually sneak out, using something to the effect of “agree to disagree” and move on. But it’s not that easy anymore. Arguing from opposite sides is now just a part of sports. Its prevalence, I’d argue, is a scourge. Watching two relatively normal people inanely spout out facts to cajole someone into their mindset is an exercise in lunacy. These type of arguments strike SPORTS me as practically identical to politics. There’s topics, then there’s the people who identify with those topics, then there’s a party to represent those people and give them a GEORGE unified identity. ARTSITAS Let’s do that with sports. Politics and sports go together like lamb and tuna fish, but this isn’t a political discussion. This is a discussion about discussions. Who is on what side? Instead of Pro-Choice and Pro-Life, we’ll talk Pro-Tebow and Pro-Manziel. Your party shouldn’t affect the fiber of your being (nothing in a sports argument should) but it would be nice to know if you’re part of a certain category of fan. There’s a comfort in knowing who you intersect with in a Venn diagram. Progressive and conservative influences are rampant in sports. Across the board, that seems to be the biggest divide for fans. People can usually be separated by two rudimentary things; numbers and intuition. Do you reason with stats over feeling? Ingest statisticians Tom Haberstroh and Bill Barnwell like a glutton? Go on FiveThirtyEight.com incessantly? Do OPS and slugging percentage mean more than batting average and RBIs? Are pitcher wins irrelevant? You’re part of the New School. Or do you welcome the mystery in sports? Do the outliers in the numbers intrigue you more than the mean? Do you listen to oldtime players who went through the gauntlet over statisticians who just watched from the press box? Does a single play in a big spot hold more credence than combine numbers? Can a guy just be a “winner”? Then you’re Old School. The most polarizing topics in sports at the moments are, in order, whether college athletes should be paid and, of course, Jonathan Paul Manziel. Some use numbers to point out the revenue football programs bring in, how much is generated by each athlete and how much those athletes should be paid. Others value experience over tangible rewards and consider the benefits around an athletic college scholarship as priceless. Both legitimate arguments, but both on separate sides of the sensibility spectrum. Manziel’s flash makes him magnetic to the eyes, but his raw facts — combined with his cockiness — make his likability as player limited. If you like watching the manifestation of a gridiron cowboy scamper around, you may be inclined to Old School tendencies. If you think the overt arrogance can’t disguise the facts of being short and inaccurate, you’re not. And it goes on throughout sports. In basketball, the age limit for the draft is a premier problem. If you think the age should increase to extract a more mature, better refined player from college like in the ’80s, you’re Old School. If you like seeing the Lebrons of the world succeed out of high school, you’re New School. The biggest chasm for baseball is familiar — sabermetrics and the Eye Test. Numbers versus intuition. Two poles that haven’t found a middle in 35 years. It’s sports. They don’t have to.

times. Rose had three points.
LOS ANGELES — Southern California coach Steve Sarkisian says the school is investigating defensive back Josh Shaw’s claim that he injured both of his ankles jumping off a balcony to save his nephew from drowning. Sarkisian said USC has received several calls contradicting Shaw’s story about the circumstances leading to his two high ankle sprains. Shaw’s story was told in a detailed post on the Trojans’ website Monday hailing the team captain’s heroism, but Sarkisian acknowledged USC isn’t exactly sure what happened. Lt.Andy Neiman of the Los Angeles Police Department also said that a man named Joshua Shaw was mentioned — but not as a suspect — in a report involving a Saturday night break-in at a downtown apartment building. Sarkisian said he had “no history to not believe Josh and his story,” but acknowledged the situation was increasingly murky. The first-year USC coach declined to discuss the discrepancies in detail, or the identity of the callers who contradicted the story.

NFL Seahawks will forfeit workouts next year RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks will forfeit two days of on-field minicamp practices next offseason after being penalized by the league for excessive physical contact during their 2014 minicamp. The league confirmed the penalties on Tuesday. ESPN.com first reported the violation and that Seattle would be fined $300,000 for the infractions. Seattle will be docked the first two days of its 2015 mandatory minicamp and will be permitted one 2 1/2hour practice on the final day. Seattle’s players will be paid for all three days of the camp. The minicamp this past June was highlighted by a fight between All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman and wide receiver Phil Bates that was caught by television cameras. Seattle also lost a pair of organized team activities during the 2012 offseason due to excessive contact.
NBA Americans win final tune-up contest LAS PALMAS, Canary Islands — Anthony Davis scored 18 points and teamed with forward Kenneth Faried to dominate the inside, leading the U.S. national team to a 101-71 victory over Slovenia in its final exhibition game before the FIBA World Cup of Basketball. Faried finished with 14 points for the Americans, who next head to Bilbao, Spain for their tournament opener Saturday against Finland. The defending world champions will also face Turkey, New Zealand, the Dominican Republic and Ukraine in pool play. The Americans weren’t particularly impressive throughout the last of their four warmup games, their first since picking their final 12-man roster on Saturday. But they were aggressive, with Davis and Faried wearing out the Slovenians. Kyrie Irving added 13 points while starting at point guard for the Americans ahead of Derrick Rose, and they played together at

MILWAUKEE — Small forward Jared Dudley is going to the Milwaukee Bucks. The seven-year veteran was dealt by the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday in exchange for forward Carlos Delfino, backup center Miroslav Raduljica and a 2015 second-round draft pick. The Bucks are also receiving a conditional 2017 first-round pick. Dudley averaged 6.9 points last year in his only season with the Clippers. The former Boston College star is averaging 8.7 points a game in his career. Delfino signed as a free agent last year with Milwaukee but never played a game because of a foot injury.

Philadelphia picks up Thabeet from Thunder OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded center Hasheem Thabeet and cash to the Philadelphia 76ers for a protected second-round draft pick in 2015 and a trade exception. The deal was announced on Tuesday. The Thunder have a year to use the trade exception. Thabeet, a 7-foot-3 defensive specialist from Tanzania, played in 66 games in 2012 and averaged nearly a block per contest. His playing time was reduced last season when first-round pick Steven Adams emerged as the backup center. The Grizzlies made Thabeet the second overall pick in the 2009 draft. The former Connecticut star also has played for the Houston Rockets and the Portland Trail Blazers.
AUTO RACING Darlington will get race on Labor Day weekend CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Darlington Raceway will return to its traditional Labor Day weekend date next season in one of the few significant changes to NASCAR’s 2015 Sprint Cup Series schedule. To get Darlington back to Labor Day weekend after an 11-year absence, Atlanta Motor Speedway gave up the date. Atlanta now goes to the second race of the season on March 1. Darlington will be run on Sept. 6, according to the schedule released Tuesday. The season will still open at Daytona International Speedway with the Daytona 500 on Feb. 22, and then go to Atlanta. Then it’s a threerace West Coast swing through Phoenix, Las Vegas and Fontana, California. One of the bigger changes came to Daytona’s second race date, traditionally held on the Saturday night of July 4th weekend. That race will now be on Sunday, July 5. That change is for 2015 only, though, as track President Joie Chitwood said the date would return to Saturday night in 2016. There were no changes to the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, which will again begin at Chicagoland Speedway and end at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Next season marks the first year of NASCAR’s new $8.2 billion television package, which is split between Fox and NBC. There had been hope by many fans that the return to NBC would bring a shake-up to the schedule, but moving Darlington to its traditional date was the only major change.
time — it’s a cliche I know. But really you’ve got to focus on what you can do each day to improve and only have your one opponent in mind,” Mannion said. “I think taking that approach will help us avoid some of the pitfalls we had last season.” As for Mannion’s goals? That’s pretty simple. “A Rose Bowl,” he said. “That’s it. That’s all that matters to me.”
Bumgarner flirts with perfection THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Madison Bumgarner pitched a one-hitter and the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 3-0 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak. The two-time All-Star retired the first 21 batters before Justin Morneau doubled down the right field line to end the bid for perfection. “I was going to try to bounce a curveball,” Bumgarner said. “I think it would have probably bounced if he MLB (wouldn’t have) hit it. He’s a good hitter Recap and he was in there being aggressive. He happened to hit it pretty good. No regrets on throwing it.” That was the only baserunner Bumgarner (15-9) gave up. He fanned the next three hitters and matched his career high of 13 strikeouts. San Francisco’s husky left-hander was attempting to follow T im Lincecum’s no-hitter at AT&T Park on June 25 against San Diego with another milestone. His 103-pitch gem helped the Giants remain in a wild-card spot. “That game was probably more impressive than a lot of no-hitters, that’s how well he threw tonight,” San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. “You look at the strikeouts, his stuff, the command ... it was a very, very impressive evening for him.” Buster Posey homered twice for San Francisco. Phillies 3, Nationals 2: Freddy Galvis and Darin Ruf homered and Carlos Ruiz drove in the go-ahead run with an eighth-inning sacrifice fly. Asdrubal Cabrera homered for the Nationals, who lost consecutive games for the first time since Aug. 4-5. Pirates 5, Cardinals 2: Pinch-hitter Ike Davis launched a tiebreaking, three-run homer off Seth Maness in the eighth inning. Mets 3, Braves 2: Juan Lagares hit a two-run homer, sending Dillon Gee and the Mets to the win. Gee (5-6) stopped the longest losing streak of his career at five games. Cubs 3, Reds 0: Travis Wood (8-11) pitched six innings of two-hit ball against his former team for his first win in two months, leading the Cubs past Johnny Cueto (15-8) and Reds.
Dodgers 9, Diamondbacks 5: Matt Kemp homered and the Dodgers scored six runs in the fourth inning, thanks in large part to two overturned out calls. With the game tied at 2, the Dodgers hit five consecutive singles off starter Trevor Cahill (3-9) in the fourth. The Dodgers led 4-2 when A.J. Ellis singled to center field. The throw beat Carl Crawford to home plate, but an umpire initiated a review on whether catcher Miguel Montero was blocking the plate. That led to the crew seeing that the ball was in his other hand. The initial out call was overturned. The next batter, pitcher Roberto Hernandez, was called out at first base on a bunt past the pitcher’s mound. But Mattingly challenged that call, and Hernandez was ruled safe, allowing Justin Turner to score. Padres 4, Brewers 1: Tyson Ross (12-12) pitched 6 1-3 strong innings, Abraham Almonte had two RBIs and the Padres snapped the Brewers’ five-game road winning streak.
AMERICAN LEAGUE Mariners 5, Rangers 0: James Paxton pitched into the seventh in a bounce-back start, and Robinson Cano hit his 12th home run. Paxton threw a career-high 118 pitches and came an out away from tying his career high with seven innings pitched. The rookie lowered his ERA to 1.71, the best mark for a pitcher in his first 11 major league starts since 1990. Cano’s towering two-out home run in the first opened the scoring and was his 71st RBI of the year. Seattle broke open a two-run game in the fifth, with the big blow coming on a double by Endy Chavez, which drove in a pair. Dustin Ackley scored Austin Jackson later in the inning with a single. Royals 2, Twins 1: Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning, helping the Royals avoid their first three-game skid since mid-July. The Royals had been shut down all night by Ricky Nolasco, who scattered three hits over seven innings. But after going quietly in the eighth, the AL Central leaders managed to break through against closer Glen Perkins (31) in the ninth. Alcides Escobar led off with a bloop-
er to shallow right for a single, and Gordon followed by swatting the second pitch he saw over the right-field wall for his 10th homer. Astros 4, Athletics 2: Chris Carter hit his 32nd homer, a three-run drive in the eighth inning that lifted Houston over Oakland. Orioles 4, Rays 2: Jonathan Schoop singled in the go-ahead run in the sixth inning and Caleb Joseph had two RBIs as the Orioles beat the fading Rays. Nelson Cruz had two hits and drove in a run for the AL East-leading Orioles, who improved to 10-4 against Tampa Bay. Baltimore relievers gave up one hit over the final 4 1-3 innings. Tigers 5, Yankees 2: Rick Porcello pitched eight impressive innings to set a career high for victories, and the Tigers snapped New York’s five-game winning streak. Porcello (15-8) joined teammate Max Scherzer as the American League’s only 15-game winners, allowing two runs and nine hits. The 25-year-old righthander threw a shutout in his previous start against Tampa Bay, and he blanked the Yankees until Jacoby Ellsbury’s homer in the fifth. Ellsbury added another solo shot in the eighth. Red Sox 11, Blue Jays 7, 11 innings: Mike Napoli and Allen Craig both homered in a seven-run 11th inning, and Dustin Pedroia homered and had four RBIs for the Red Sox. Toronto fell to 6-16 in August and, at 66-66, dropped to .500 for the first time since May 15. Indians 8, White Sox 6, 10 innings: Zach Walters hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning to lift Cleveland. Pinch-hitter Lonnie Chisenhall doubled to lead off the 10th against Jake Petricka (0-4), and after failing to sacrifice Chisenhall to third, Walters hit a 32 pitch well into the right-field bleachers to give the Indians the lead.
INTERLEAGUE Angels 8, Marlins 2: Mike Trout had an RBI double and Albert Pujols added a two-run single during Los Angeles’ five-run fourth inning. The Angels regained sole possession of the majors’ best record. Matt Shoemaker (13-4) yielded two hits over seven scoreless innings as the Angels (78-53) moved one game ahead of AL West rival Oakland.
Patriots send veteran lineman to Bucs THE ASSOCIATED PRESS On the NFL’s first preseason cutdown day, a trade and several key players going on injured reserve overshadowed other moves. In an unusual transaction for its timing, New England sent six-time Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins to Tampa Bay on Tuesday for tight end Tim Wright and a draft choice. The Patriots apparently are satisfied with a young group of blockers, and the Buccaneers were desperate to improve their offensive line. “He has a history of a certain type of play in the league,” new Bucs coach Lovie Smith said, adding that the 10th-year pro will bring leadership on and off the field. “We got better, kind of simple as that.” Bringing in a tight end could mean the Patriots are particularly concerned when Rob Gronkowski can return to the lineup. The injuryprone Gronkowski, coming off right knee surgery, only recently began to take part in contact drills. While Gronkowski works to come back, gone for the

Both went on injured reserve Tuesday, Bradford after tearing his left ACL for the second straight year, Raji with a torn biceps. Also on injured reserve is Bills linebacker Kiko Alonso,
who hurt his left knee before training camp began. Alonso was injured while working out in Oregon. He’s a former standout for the Ducks. Other veterans placed on IR were Colts running back Vick Ballard, Seahawks linebacker Heath Farwell and Browns offensive lineman
Michael Bowie. Put on the physically unable to perform list were Colts fullback FB Stanley Havili and Raiders cornerback DJ Hayden. Players on PUP must miss at least six weeks of the regular season. The first wave of cuts down to the maximum 75 players saw veterans quarterbacks Thad Lewis, Brady Quinn and Trent Edwards released. Buffalo cut Lewis when it signed Jordan Palmer, while Quinn was let go by Miami and Edwards by Oakland. Also released were veteran linebacker Victor Butler, who played for Oregon State, and tight end Travis Beckum by New Orleans. The next cut, to the 53man roster for the regular season, will be Saturday. Meanwhile, another former Duck, Geoff Schwartz, has a dislocated right big toe and will be in a walking boot for a week to 10 days. The left guard for the New York Giants signed a fouryear, $16.8 million contract in the offseason. The team did not give a timeline for his return.

Kevin Love holds up his jersey with general manager David Griffin at Cleveland’s practice facility Tuesday.
Love is ‘commited’ to Cavs INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Kevin Love’s phone rang in July and LeBron James asked the All-Star forward if he wanted to play with him in Cleveland. “I’m in,” Love told James. For the long haul. Getting used to a new city and new team after being acquired by the Cavaliers on Saturday, Love said he’s committed to winning an NBA title with the Cavaliers — however long it takes. Love, who didn’t make the playoffs during six sometimes rocky seasons with Minnesota, can opt out of his contract and become a free agent next summer. But 25year-old Love, regarded as the game’s top “spacing” forward, said he intends to stay with James and the Cavs. “I’m committed to this team, committed long term to the end goal and that’s to win championships,” he said. Cleveland is smitten with its newest superstar. Love was introduced Tuesday by the Cavs, who
acquired him in a blockbuster, three-team trade that instantly turned Cleveland, which won just 33 games last season, into an NBA championship favorite.The deal also gives the team a star-powered trio in Love, James and Kyrie Irving. Love and James became friends two summers ago as U.S. Olympic teammates in London. It was there, while chasing a gold medal together, that James began recruiting Love, who wasn’t sure what to make of the fourtime league MVP’s overtures. “Sitting next to me, a locker really close to me and he would always tell me how good he thought I was,” Love said. “For me I would just kind of brush it off and shake it off because I was standoffish because I didn’t know him well.” James persisted and after more conversations, Love realized there could be a time when their careers could intersect again. “I thought that one day maybe I could play with
LeBron James,” he said. And now that Love is gone, the Timberwolves are left to rebuild around No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins and last year’s top pick, Anthony Bennett, two young players they were able to pry from Cleveland. Love didn’t leave the Timberwolves on the best of terms. He was the face of the franchise, and Minnesota is where he developed into one of the game’s top rebounders and scorers, a dual threat from inside and out. But the years of losing wore on him and it was no secret that he wanted out. Still, Love said he’ll look back on his first NBA home as a positive experience. “The people of Minnesota were great,the fans were great, they showed up, win, lose or draw, and I really developed a lot of relationships all the way down through the organization,” he said. “It was a great six years, and I enjoyed my time, and I can’t say enough good things about it.”
Bellis plans on playing in the U.S. Open junior tournament. She lost in the third round of that event last year; she lost in the first round of the Wimbledon juniors last month. But on Tuesday, there she was in front of a supportive, overflowing crowd on Court 6 at Flushing Meadows, taking it to Cibulkova, the Australian Open runner-up. “I went into the match thinking it was going to be such a great experience,” said Bellis, whose rapid-fire sentences tend to finish with a gurgle of laughter, “but I never thought I would come out on top winning.” “I didn’t expect her to play so aggressive today. I thought she’s kind of a player who’s just putting the ball back and running around,” Cibulkova said. “That didn’t happen today. She was really aggressive on the court and that maybe surprised me in the first set.” Bellis was making her main-draw tour-level debut, having earned a wild-card invitation from the U.S.Tennis Association by winning the USTA Girls’ 18s National Championship, the youngest to do since Lindsay Davenport also won it at 15 in 1991. Not since Anna
SOCCER From Page B1 some of the world’s greatest athletes can be treated this way, it’s a real setback for gender equity in sports. It should have never gotten to this point, but it’s not too late for Canadian soccer and FIFA to do the right thing.” In an email to The Associated Press, FIFA acknowledged receipt of the letter, but declined further
Kournikova was 15 in 1996 had someone so young won a match at the U.S. Open. And not since Mary Joe Fernandez was that age in 1986 had an American done it. Next up for Bellis is a second-round match against 48th-ranked Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan. In another first-round match, No. 8 seed Ana Ivanovic continued her strong season by beating American Alison Riske 6-3, 6-0. Ivanovic has won 48 matches this year, more than anyone else on tour. The 24-year-old Riske made a breakthrough at last year’s U.S. Open, reaching the fourth round after an upset of Petra Kvitova. She reached a career-high ranking of No. 40 this summer. Samantha Stosur, the 2011 U.S. Open champ, also quickly dispatched a young American, beating Lauren Davis 6-1, 6-4. The 49thranked Davis fell to 0-3 at her home Grand Slam event. Svetlana Kuznetsova lost her first-round U.S. Open match for the first time since 2005, the year she was the tournament’s defending champion. Kuznetsova, seeded 20th this time, was beaten 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (3) by 82nd-ranked Marina Erakovic of New Zealand. John Isner, a former top American college player, beat this year’s top American col-
lege player. The 13th-seeded Isner won 7-6 (5), 6-2, 7-6 (2) against Marcos Giron, who earned his first spot in a Grand Slam tournament when he won the NCAA title for UCLA in May. Fellow American Sam Querrey improved to 3-9 in five-set matches with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Argentina’s Maximo Gonzalez. Another American, Jack Sock, retired from his match because of a right calf injury. Sock was trailing 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 to Pablo Andujar of Spain when he decided he couldn’t continue. Fourth-seeded David Ferrer beat Damir Dzumhur 6-1, 6-2, 2-6, 6-2. Tenth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan cruised to a 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 victory over American Wayne Odesnik, showing no apparent effects from a toe injury that hampered his preparations. The 176th-ranked Odesnik earned a wild card into the U.S. Open, his first appearance in five years. He served a yearlong ban after pleading guilty for importing human growth hormone into Australia. Victor Estrella of the Dominican Republic earned his first Grand Slam victory at age 34, beating Igor Sijsling 26, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2. Estrella hadn’t played in a major tournament until this year.
comment. The Canadian Soccer Association deferred to FIFA for reaction. But Victor Montagliani, president of the Canadian federation and chairman of the national organizing committee for the World Cup, addressed the issue during a press conference in advance of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup final last Sunday in Montreal. “I know players in other tournaments with natural grass have complained about
the quality of the surfaces there. That’s the nature of players. The truth is that our bid went in according to FIFA regulations, and we’re focusing only on this current tournament and next year,” Montagliani said. FIFA changed its rules in 2004 to allow sanctioned matches on certain artificial surfaces. A few games at the 2010 men’s World Cup in South Africa were played on grass that had been reinforced by artificial fibers.

DILBERT
The truth about extended warranties Recently I stopped into Toys “R” Us to get a little something for Eli. Yes; I am one of those grandmothers. We found the cutest toy shaving kit, just perfect for bath time. The price was under $10. At check out, and without missing a beat, the sales clerk inquired if I would like to add an extended warranty for just $4.79. Seriously. I laughed. She winced. I apologized, but really, I couldn’t help it. An extended warranty sounds like a good thing, and that’s because it’s designed that way. While I EVERYDAY cannot CHEAPSKATE say that e ve r y extended warranty would be a rip off, that’s the way I want you to start thinking Mary of them. Hunt Every time you a r e offered and extended warranty, think: Rip off! Then if you have doubts, make that warranty prove to you otherwise. Failure rates. Products for which there is an extended warranty always come with a manufacturer’s warranty. We know that if a product is going to fail, most of the time it happens at the start of that product’s life, not in the time after the original warranty expires. That means you do not need the extended warranty. As a rule, rely on the warranty that comes with the product. Then rely on your own independent research. Profit margins. Ever wonder why retailers are so diligent in offering extended warranties? Wonder no more. It’s all about — now here’s a real shocker — money. Extended warranties average a 70 percent profit for the retailer. Plus, if they can get you to finance the cost of the extended warranty, the retailer ends up profiting even more. Suppose you buy a $750 extended warranty on a new automobile, and you include it in the amount to be financed. Here’s an estimate of the dealer’s profit: The dealer will receive $764 from you including interest you will pay on the financed extended warranty after taking into consideration the 30 percent payout on claims. Now do you see why retailers push their extended warranties? Here’s a novel idea: Instead of buying extended warranties, set up your own “Repair & Maintenance” savings account for all of your fixed assets — cars, boats, RV’s, appliances, toy shaving kits and so on. Now make payments to your own extended warranty program every month. That way, if you do need major repairs once the regular warranty expires, you will have the money set aside and ready to go. On the other hand, if it turns out you never require major repairs (statistics are in your favor, by the way), the “extended warranty” funds become your profits, not the retailers’. On a personal note, there are only two products for which I have and will continue to buy the extended warranty, because both of these are notorious for failure after the manufacturer’s warranty: Apple products (iPhone, iPad, MacBook, MacPro and so on) and treadmills. Maybe I am the only one who beats up my electronic devices, but that’s a pretty solid rule for me. As for treadmills, my experience and research suggest they are also notorious for breakdown with extended use. You should create your own, well-thought-out very short list of items for which an extended warranty may be a wise decision. Then stick to it. Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630. Include your first and last name and state.

Let go of uncertainty and doubt, and trust in your skills. Any challenges can be conquered if you don’t let situations fester.

Take all the time you need to investigate the details of a pending financial, legal or medical matter. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Your popularity is growing within your peer group.

ding is the first piece of evidence. In today’s deal, look at the auction and West’s hand. What should West lead against four spades? North’s three-heart response was a transfer bid, showing five or more spades and at least zero points. His three-no-trump rebid offered a choice of games. Here South would have done well to settle for three no-trump, which has nine top tricks. But it was normal to bid four spades with such weak clubs and the potential blockage in spades. It is very dangerous to lead around to a big balanced hand. West ought to select a trump. (A club is safe here, but I dislike leading from a jack.) South can make his contract if he plays with mirrors, catching West in a red-suit endplay. The curious may work out the details. But declarer is likely to use his two club entries to dummy to try each red-suit finesse and go down when they both fail. He would lose one heart, two diamonds and one club. However, if West leads actively, picking the heart four, he concedes the contract immediately.
