Reserve fund to support NB athletic facilities BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World
NORTH BEND — The North Bend school board approved an athletic facilities reserve fund this month, an effort to sock away money every year to pay for future needs. North Bend School District business and finance director Sherri O’Connor brought the idea to the board in July, with input from athletic director Mike Forrester. They totaled about $400,000 in
projects coming up in the next few years. In the last month, Forrester finetuned the idea and dropped the total cost estimate to $177,000. It includes: ■ $100,000 to replace the bleachers. ■ $50,000 to reseal the track. ■ $27,000 to recondition the wrestling mats. Forrester said the track won’t need repairs for three years, but resurfacing it now would add another 15 years to its life. It was
resurfaced 15 years ago. Reconditioning the wrestling mats will also give them 15 years, he said, and the 35-year-old bleachers should last at least two years before they need to be replaced. They were reconditioned eight years ago. Participation fees and gate receipts support the student body fund, which in turn funds athletics and activities. Last school year, revenues exceeded expenditures by about $31,000, O’Connor said last month. The athletic facilities reserve

fund will take the net check from the student body fund every year, the board decided. That will be about $25,000 a year, O’Connor said, but “participation and gate receipts won’t be where they are now because enrollment is down and the number of games has been lowered.” From 2000 to 2007, North Bend’s athletic facilities underwent major renovations: a new FieldTurf surface on the football field, new west and east grandstands, stadium lights, public address system,
entryways, concession stands, restrooms, a fully automated timing system, Legends Court and Hall of Champions. The majority of these projects were funded through thousands of dollars in anonymous donations — including $250,000 donated five years ago that led to the Jumbotron video scoreboard.

WASHINGTON — With impeachment threats and potential lawsuits looming, President Barack Obama knows whatever executive actions he takes on immigration will face intense opposition. So as a self-imposed, end-of-summer deadline to act approaches, Obama’s lawyers are carefully crafting a legal rationale they believe will withstand scrutiny and survive any court challenges, administration officials say. The argument goes something like this: Beyond failing to fix broken immigration laws, Congress hasn’t even provided the government with enough resources to fully enforce the laws already on the books. With roughly 11.5 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally — far more than the government could reasonably deport — the White House believes it has wide latitude to prioritize which of those individuals should be sent home. But Republicans, too, are exploring their legal options for stopping Obama from what

COOS BAY — It’s not the list that Oregon motorists want to be on top of, but the news could be worse. The national average for the price of a gallon of gas is at a six-month low, while Oregon’s average approaches a threemonth low. Still... “For the second week in a row, Oregon has the most expensive gasoline in the 48 contiguous states,” AAA Oregon/Idaho Public Affairs Director Marie Dodds said this week. The national average for regular unleaded has dropped to $3.43 per gallon, while Oregon is down a penny, to $3.89 per gallon. “The national average is at its lowest price since February of this year,” Dodds added, while noting that the Oregon average is at its lowest price since late May. “Drivers in the Pacific states continue to pay the highest retail

The classes Camp will offer are in conjunction with Cardinal Services Inc. They will take place at 10 a.m. every Wednesday in September. The first session focuses on how to fill out a job application and the anxiety related to job hunting. The following classes will be about how to write a resume and how to be interviewed, as well as a question and answer period. Camp’s plans include a re-entry support group at 9 a.m. every Wednesday as well as other therapy services, which he hopes will be in cooperation with the Coos County Community Corrections and the Coos County Mental Health departments. Some of the people Camp helps are current inmates with a couple of weeks left in jail. He approaches them and lets them know where to find him on the outside. Others are those he meets at the center. “Devereaux is like a home,” Camp said. “A lot of people who come here truly are homeless.” Those people can get their basic needs met almost instantly, said Felicia Garland.

COOS BAY — Going from life behind bars to a functioning member of society can be a difficult process. A program to help transition inmates from jail or prison to the “real world” is just beginning at The Nancy Devereaux Center. “It’s a relatively new thing. It’s in its infancy stage,” said Mike Camp, consultant and licensed therapist who is starting the program. Camp drives from Ashland to work at the Coos County Jail twice a week and volunteer at the center every Wednesday. His company, Correct Care Solutions, is under contract with the county for him to provide therapy to inmates. He began volunteering at the center about a month ago after a co-worker suggested it. The Devereaux Center is a “haven” for those needing food, clothing, shelter and employment. It also offers showers and laundry facilities, ceramics and quilting classes, as well as therapy and self-help classes. Many folks who use the center are either exconvicts, homeless, addicts, have mental issues or a combination of those things, Camp said. They have a hard time building connections, he said. “They’ve either burned a lot of bridges or a lot of bridges have been burned,” Camp said.

The Dunes BY GAIL ELBER For The World
The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area stretches 40 miles from Florence to Coos Bay. Until the middle of the 20th century, the dunes were largely flat and bare. Drifting sand buried roads and buildings near the dunes. People camped and fished on the dunes, and an early bus route ran along the beach from Coos Bay to Florence. After World War II, people began modifying military vehicles and Volkswagens for roaring around on the dry sand. The dunes themselves began to change as the U.S. Forest Service planted European beachgrass to stabilize the sand. Soon, the dunes assumed their modern profile, with a tall, grassy foredune that collects sand blowing in from the beach. Behind it, a low, swampy forest grows where the wind
has eroded the sand away to the water table. In 1972, President Richard Nixon created the Oregon Dunes NRA, the nation’s first such area. With the development of better off-highway vehicles, the area soon saw hundreds of thousands of dune-riding visitors a year. The sport gained a reputation for unruly behavior, but in the 1990s, alcohol was banned and camping was restricted in the dunes, and OHV riding is now a family-friendly sport. Organized racing is available, with the ReedsportWinchester Bay Chamber of Commerce organizing a five-day DuneFest every year. The spread of beachgrass and the encroachment of forests are making the dunes smaller, and OHV riders must coexist with other human and animal users of the By Benjamin Brayfield, The World dunes.

Here it comes — election time Our view Time to exercise our patriotic duty and participate in the republic — express your opinion and vote.
What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.
The Labor Day weekend is coming up. We in the journalism biz know what follows every even numbered year — an election campaign season. As we approach Election 2014, we think it’s an appropriate time to let you know how we’re going to handle our coverage and, especially, how we’re going to handle campaign material on this page. In news coverage, noncontested seats will likely receive less of our attention, since uncontested candidates already represent the electorate’s preference. We’ll focus our news coverage on contests – either
between candidates or on opposing sides of an issue. As the saying goes, there are always two sides to a story, and lots of time there are many more. We’ll try to cover them all. On the Opinion page we’ll continue to print almost all letters submitted, even when it appears that there are more letters for one side of an issue or for a candidate than for the opposition. We don’t impose a quota, so if you see a higher volume of letters for a particular candidate or issue, it probably means those writers care to write more. Don’t like it; write a letter yourself. All we ask for in letters is civility, family-friendly lan-
guage and no obvious falsehoods. Our 400-word limit applies, and, as always, give us your real name, an address and a phone number. During the campaign season, OP-ED pieces will still be welcome except from political candidates or their representatives, or from backers of issues that will be on the ballot. Our OP-ED section isn’t intended to be used as a campaign tool. In Coos County, election ballots are expected to be mailed out after arriving at the Coquille post office Friday, Oct. 17. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 4. We will accept letters to the editor concerning the election until
Thursday, Oct. 30. OP-ED pieces concerning the election will be accepted up to Friday. Oct. 17. One last caveat: lastminute letters that make accusations, especially against individuals, may find themselves held or left unpublished if, in the opinion of the newspaper editorial board, there is not enough time for the accusation to be answered. Questions? Call any of the editorial board members listed in the upper-left corner of the page. Other than that, get to writing, voters.
What about that VA scandal? The unofficial end of summer, Labor Day, may serve as a bookend to a scandal that exploded around the unofficial start, Memorial Day. We speak of the very long wait times to see primary care providers at veterans hospitals and, more seriously, the doctoring of records by some hospital administrators to hide that reality. Back in May, this writer erred in underestimating the wrongdoing at hospitals run by the Department of Veterans Affairs. She’d been swayed by friends who had nothing but praise for their VA hospital experiences — and independent studies by the likes of RAND showing higher patient satisfaction in VA hospitals than in privately run ones. Also, the blast of outrage bore all the signs of another right-wing attack against “evil” government and, with it, a call to privatize another of its services. The media, meanwhile, were facing the news desert of a quiet, long weekend. So what perfect timing — especially over a holiday honoring those who served — to flog the accusation that the government was killing FROMA veterans by the thouHARROP sands. That incendiary Columnist charge has thus far proved to be unfounded. The VA inspector general’s office has been investigating the deaths of veterans waiting for primary care appointments. So far, it’s failed to find evidence of veterans dying because they were on those lists. The inspector general did uncover some worms, however: Hospital administrators were faking data about those delays. Punishment is being meted. At the bottom of this emotional story sits a very plain vanilla villain: the nationwide shortage of primary care medical professionals. In a highly market-based system such as ours, providers go where the money is. That would be the more lucrative medical specialties — and in hospital settings rather than doctors’ offices. In most other countries (though not Canada), patients have shorter waits to see primary care providers. Reliance on expensive specialists to treat conditions that a family doctor could handle helps explain why America spends so much more on health care than do other rich countries. The reason we know more about the waits at the VA than the ones in the private sector is governments require that such records be kept. The private system does not. A $16 billion fix for the VA’s primarycare problem was signed this month by President Obama. Thousands of such doctors, nurses and other health care professionals are being hired. Most of the money, however, will pay for veterans on long waiting lists — or who live more than 40 miles from a VA facility — to see private providers. Thus, conservatives got some of what they wanted and some of what they didn’t. In their plus column, the system is now somewhat more privatized. In the minus column, conservatives had to approve spending these billions — and after they had blocked a vote in February to spend large sums on some of the same things. A handful of Republicans refused to vote for the bill, insisting that the entire VA system needs a multiple bypass. “We need structural changes,” said Rep. Jack Kingston, a Georgia Republican, “a purge of those who made this mess, and more choices for our veterans.” “More choices” is code for privatization. Turns out government can’t promise good health care to the growing numbers of veterans — whether through public or private facilities — without spending a lot of money. That’s the way it goes.
Letters to the Editor LNG is just a bill of goods There have been numerous letters from town and county officials, and citizens throughout Oregon, urging our senators and representatives to support the proposed Jordan Cove LNG Project in Coos Bay and help speed up the “cumbersome” federal approval process. Whether or not this effort succeeds, you are unknowingly aiding and abetting the applicant, Veresen, in violating federal law. This foreign company has been contravening the National Environmental Policy Act for seven years by attempting to fast-track the project through the Coos County permitting process prior to issuance of the EIS by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. If your efforts do succeed, here
is what you will accomplish: ■ Several hundred temporary jobs for a few years, most performed by transients and only a few by local residents; ■ Increased disturbance of the peace, threats to personal safety, pollution, congestion and traffic problems brought to the community by these outsiders; ■ Destruction of much of our marine habitat, including disturbance of oyster fisheries, major impediments to marine navigation, pleasure boating and other recreational enjoyment of our natural environment; ■ Significant increases in the price of natural gas as our domestic gas is fed into the world economy and the domestic supply is reduced; ■ Substantial pollution and disturbance of many natural areas of the United States caused by fracking and other destructive
methods of gas extraction; ■ Arbitrary taking of private lands by eminent domain, without recourse, for routing a 240-mile pipeline to export our precious resources, in many cases altering the topography to the point of rendering it useless for gainful purposes; ■ Potential danger all along the route of that pipeline from possible explosion, to say nothing of the danger to residents of Coos Bay and North Bend from a probable tanker explosion or inevitable earthquake-induced tsunami; ■ With the volatility of the world energy markets, the possible collapse of demand in a few years, the shutting down of Jordan Cove, and the community left to deal with the mess and pick up the pieces (see “The Job Messiahs,” by Coos Bay author Wim de Vriend for numerous other examples of such boondoggles);
■ In any case, major economic windfalls to a group of outside investors who could care less about our coastal communities, and who will be laughing all the way to the bank. You are being sold a bill of goods. Think about it. John MacGregor, Ph.D. Tucson

Immigration from two points of view This is a tale of two cities. Murrieta, in southern California, attracted a lot of TV cameras last month when protesters blocked three busses carrying illegal immigrants to a processing center. The crowds bristled with racially tinged hostility. “What kind of criminality will happen?” demanded a demonstrator. One woman wore a shirt bearing the legend, “If You Can’t Feed Them Don’t Breed Them. Utica, an aging industrial center in upstate New York, takes exactly the opposite approach. It welcomes immigrants, especially refugees from political persecution in countries like Burma and Bosnia. “The immigrants have been an economic engine for the city,” The New York Times reports, “starting small businesses, buying and renovating down-at-the-heels houses and injecting a sense of vitality to forlorn city streets.” Both storylines reflect our history. Americans have always embraced immigrants and resented them at the same time. Signs urging “Send Them Back” are as familiar as the poem on the Statue of Liberty that reads, “Send these, the homeless,tempest-tost to me.” Washington has totally failed to confront the immigration issue because nativist Republicans in the House have adopted the “send them back” mindset and blocked every effort at reform.
COKIE AND STEVEN V. ROBERTS Columnists
As a result, 11 million undocumented immigrants still lack legal status. Employers cannot find enough fruit pickers or software designers. Other countries are courting our best foreign-born grad students because we make it so hard for them to stay and work here. But in the end, the optimism of Utica is stronger than the fear of Murrieta.Immigrants have always injected our national life with “a sense of vitality,” and while Washington abdicates, cities across the country are begging newcomers to move there. A good example is St. Louis, which created a civic campaign called the Mosaic Project to attract new residents.The effort is based on a study by Jack Strauss, an economics professor at Saint Louis University, who wrote: “There is one clear and specific way to simultaneously redress the region’s population stagnation,
output slump, tepid employment growth, housing weakness and deficit in entrepreneurship. Immigration.” One part of the campaign: putting signs on the city’s buses and trains in 17 languages. “We’re talking about how (to) look and feel more welcoming,” the project’s director, Betsy Cohen, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “Signs on the bus are a very tangible thing that help people understand we’re a globally welcoming community.” A similar effort called Global Cleveland is using social media and online messages to reach potential recruits. “It’s really going to be a one-stop shop: Everything I’d want to know about what life here is like,” said Joy Roller, the group’s president. Richard Herman, co-author of the book “Immigrant, Inc.,” emphasizes the benefits of job creation. “This demographic has demonstrated their over-performance in entrepreneurship, whether that’s a neighborhood bodega or a big tech company,” he told Cleveland.com. “Economics is driving the whole piece. We’re basically talking about welcoming immigrants to grow the economy.” Philadelphia suffered decades of decline before initiating the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians.“We had 60 years of losing population, and if hadn’t been for immigrants, it would
have been 65,” says Amanda Bergson-Shilock, the outreach director. The key, she told the Post-Dispatch, is tapping into the “immigrant grapevine” and generating word-of-mouth advertising. We both know firsthand the value of new immigrants. Cokie grew up in New Orleans, a city founded by French traders in the 18th century that has always thrived on the energy and innovation of a widely diverse population. Steve’s hometown of Bayonne, N.J., was once dominated by immigrants from Europe, including his own grandparents. Today, the stores on Broadway are run by Indians, not Jews. The old Catholic churches that once offered masses in Italian and Polish have been joined by the True Light Korean United Methodist Church and the Arabic Assembly of God. But the spirit of Utica is not just about creating commerce; it’s about creating a culture. “If you respect me as a Muslim and as a good man, I’ll respect you too,” Ahmedin Mehmedovic, imam of a mosque converted from a Methodist church,told the Times. “In Utica, there is a big harmony between different religions and different congregations.” Two towns.One stands for turmoil, the other for tolerance. We’ll take tolerance.

State Wife is unwilling to shoulder burden of mother-in-law’s care DEAR ABBY: My motherin-law is 80 and in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. She lives alone an hour and a half from us. She also has a professional who takes care of her once a week. My husband, “Fred,” goes to help and entertain her every weekend, and I sometimes accompany him. She DEAR has enough money to stay in an assisted living facility, but Fred wants to build a mother-ina w l apartment JEANNE for her on PHILLIPS our property. Abby, I DON’T LIKE HER. She was a bully when she was younger, and she’s still manipulative. She has made some comments about me hitting her, which never happened. Of course, Fred believed me. If she lives with us, I will be her main caregiver because I have a home-based business and a flexible schedule. I have already said no to Fred’s idea, but I don’t want to be the bad guy. His two brothers live states away and don’t want to be involved because of the way their mother treated them during their teens. Fred is the only son willing to overlook past issues and has made peace with her. Could you help me to sort this out? — Three’s a crowd in Maryland DEAR THREE’S A CROWD: I’ll try. Caring for has who someone Alzheimer’s disease is a fulltime job because the disease is PROGRESSIVE. While Fred’s mother can live alone with the help of a professional once a week now, that will soon not be the case. She will become increasingly helpless and so confused that should an emergency arise in her apartment she will be unable to think sequentially enough to know what to do. She may no longer recognize who you are and become agitated and combative. For these reasons your mother-in-law should be in an assisted living facility staffed with caregivers who have been trained to take care of people with Alzheimer’s. Because you have a business to run, it can’t be you. Since Fred has made peace with his mother, he should visit her often to ensure she is welltreated. But he should NOT expect the responsibility of caring for her to be yours because it is unrealistic. DEAR ABBY: My wife likes to leave money hidden in the house or car as her little ATM. The problem is, one or both of our teenagers discover her stashes and the money disappears. We have had a family meeting about it, yet it continues. I have argued for years with her that part of the problem is leaving money around, not cleverly hidden. My wife blames one kid who she wants to kick out, but what if it’s the other? Now she’s blaming me for not solving the problem. Yes, it’s terrible, but she has fed the impulsiveness and refuses to change her ways. She wants us to be on the “same page,” but that usually means her page. Any ideas? Family counseling? — DAD IN THE MIDDLE DEAR DAD: Your wife may want to place the blame on you, but there is more than one problem happening in your household. The first is her insistence on leaving money where it’s tempting a teen (or two) who steals. Second, you don't know who is taking the money and what it's being used for. Third is your wife’s idea that a quick fix would be to throw a dependent child out. It may take the services of a licensed marriage counselor to mediate an agreement between the two of you to work cooperatively together.

Iconic Klamath bucket moved from county building
The Associated Press
The Bucket Brigade memorial bucket, right, is shown with its sibling at the Klamath County Fairgrounds in Klamath Falls. Thirteen years after protesters put it on the steps of the county government building in Klamath Falls, a 10-foot-tall bucket that was a symbol of outrage at the federal government and a water cutoff has been moved.
KLAMATH FALLS (AP) — Thirteen years after protesters put it on the steps of the county government building in Klamath Falls, a 10-foot-tall bucket that was iconic for one side in the basin’s water struggle has been moved. It was taken recently to the county fairgrounds so a movie company can film in front of the county building. That kindled a question the county commissioners want the community to help answer: Should the bucket return to the steps? Or should it be moved, and to where? In 2001, Klamath Basin irrigators and
their supporters formed a symbolic “bucket brigade” to transfer water when a severe drought led the federal government to curtail water deliveries. That set off protests, and later negotiations began among Native American tribes, farmers and others involved in the complex water struggles. As for the bucket, opinions about where it should reside vary, even among the commissioners, the Klamath Falls Herald and News reported. Commissioners said they’d hear people out on the topic at their meetings and take email comments at: bocc@klamathcounty.org.
Judge won’t stop water for Klamath salmon
Oregon close to triggering income tax rebates
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A federal judge Wednesday denied a request by irrigation suppliers in California’s Central Valley to stop emergency water releases intended to help salmon hundreds of miles away in the Klamath Basin survive the drought. U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O’Neill in Fresno, California, denied the temporary injunction sought by Westlands Water District and the San Luis & DeltaMendota Water Authority. Westlands is the nation’s largest supplier of water for agricultural use. The judge ruled that the potential harm to salmon from drought conditions right now outweighs the potential harm to farmers next year. Dan O’Hanlon, attorney for the irrigation suppliers, did not immediately respond to a telephone call and email seeking comment. The bureau routinely refuses to comment on pending litigation. At issue is water in a reservoir on the Trinity River in Northern California, which has long been shared with farmers in the Central Valley. The river is the main tributary of the Klamath River, where sharing scarce water between fish and farms has long been a tough balancing act marked by lawsuits and political battles. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation ordered the emergency releases to prevent a repeat of a massive fish kill in 2002. The agency has said the salmon releases were not expected to reduce the amount of water exported to the Sacramento River this year, but would likely mean less water stored for next year. Indian tribes that depend on the salmon for subsistence, ceremonial and commercial fisheries had pressed the bureau to reverse an earlier decision to only release more water once significant numbers of fish began to die. “The court again recognized the scientific basis for the supplemental releases, and the best decision was made for the resource and the fishery,” said Susan Masten, vice chairwoman of the Yurok Tribe. “Klamath (Basin) water is meant to support Klamath River fish, not industrial agriculture in the Central Valley.” In his ruling, O’Neill cited a statement from tribal fisheries consultant Joshua Strange that the extra water was needed to prevent an outbreak of disease from a parasite known as Ich, short for Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, that attacks fish crowded together in drought conditions. The parasite was the prime killer of salmon in the 2002 drought.

Intel to get local tax breaks worth about $2B STATE HILLSBORO (AP) — Local officials have approved a tax break for Intel that could be worth about $2 billion during its expansion in Washington County west of Portland. The Oregonian reports that Intel is the state’s largest private employer, with 17,500 employees. In recent years, the chipmaking giant has been building manufacturing capacity at an accelerated rate. A 1993 state law is designed to attract hightech manufacturers, whose tools and equipment depreciate rapidly. Intel has previously negotiated four agreements with local officials under the law and said it’s now bumping up against the limits in the current one. Some residents and tax

Another 700 Oregonians — who should have been enrolled in Medicaid, but were instead found eligible for a commercial plan — will be automatically switched to the Oregon Health Plan. It’s still unclear if they will have to refund the IRS all the tax credits they received incorrectly.

PORTLAND (AP) — A swelling state treasury is on the verge of triggering “kicker” rebates for Oregon taxpayers, according to state economists’ quarterly revenue forecast unveiled Wednesday. For the third time this year, economists revised their revenue forecast upward, leaving it just $27 million shy of the kicker threshold. That means even a small improvement over expected employment and wages could send at least $290 million in rebates to individual taxpayers. Under a tax law unique to Oregon, if personal income tax collections exceed expectations during a two-year budget cycle by at least 2 percent, the extra money is kicked back to taxpayers. Steady economic improvements have led the state to collect slightly more than projected in both corporate and personal income taxes. Much of the increased revenue came from last year’s special legislature session, when lawmakers voted to raise taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals. Because the action came after lawmakers adjourned the regular session, the additional revenue they created counts toward the 2 percent kicker threshold. The forecast projects that corporate income tax collections will exceed the threshold, but voters decided in 2012 that excess corporate revenue should be earmarked for primary and secondary schools. Oregon’s kicker law was created as a check on government spending, ensuring the Legislature can’t spend money they didn’t expect to receive.

Gun tourism gaining popularity LAS VEGAS (AP) — The death of an Arizona firearms instructor by a 9-year-old girl who was firing a fully automatic Uzi displayed a tragic side of what has become a hot industry in the U.S.: gun tourism. With gun laws keeping high-powered weapons out of reach for most people — especially those outside the U.S. — indoor shooting ranges with high-powered weapons have become a popular attraction. Tourists from Japan flock to ranges in Waikiki, Hawaii, and the dozen or so that have cropped up in Las Vegas offer bullet-riddled bachelor parties and literal shotgun weddings, where newly married couples can fire submachine gun rounds and pose with Uzis and ammo belts. “People just want to experience things they can’t experience elsewhere,” said Genghis Cohen, owner of Machine Guns Vegas. “There’s not an action movie

39, was standing next to the girl Monday at the Last Stop range in White Hills, Arizona, about 60 miles south of Las Vegas, when she squeezed the trigger. The recoil wrenched the Uzi upward, and Vacca was shot in the head. Prosecutors say they will not file charges in the case. The identities of the girl and her

Obama was barreling toward strikes last summer when he abruptly announced that he first wanted approval from congressional lawmakers. But Congress balked at Obama’s request for a vote and the operation was eventually scrapped. This time around, the White House is suggesting it may not be necessary to get a signoff from Congress for airstrikes. While cautioning that Obama has made no final decisions, officials say there is a difference between

A look at the Islamic State in Syria
D I G E S T UN: Ebola cases could eventually hit 20,000
BY ZEINA KARAM The Associated Press
GENEVA (AP) — The Ebola outbreak in West Africa eventually could exceed 20,000 cases, more than six times as many as are now known, the World Health Organization said Thursday. A new plan released by the U.N. health agency to stop Ebola also assumes that the actual number of cases in many hard-hit areas may be two to four times higher than currently reported. If that’s accurate, it suggests there could be up to 12,000 cases already.
BEIRUT — As the U.S. strikes Islamic State targets in Iraq, extremists belonging to the same militant group across the border in Syria are capturing new territory and becoming bolder by the day. There, in its power base, the Islamic State group controls thousands of square kilometers (miles) of territory, including most of Syria’s oil-producing region. In the areas under its control, it has established an elaborate governing system that oversees every aspect of people’s lives. The U.S. has begun surveillance flights over Syria as a possible precursor for airstrikes against Islamic State targets there. U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said the group cannot be defeated “without addressing that side of the organization which resides in Syria.” A look at the Islamic State group in Syria:

Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s National Security Council, and other statements from NATO, the pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine and the United States left no doubt that the Russian military had invaded southeastern Ukraine.
a Chechen and one of its most prominent military figures.
Scope and size By some estimates, the Islamic State group occupies up to 35 percent of Syria, or about a third of the country. It has consolidated its hold over an impressive stretch of territory from its westernmost end on the outskirts of the city of Aleppo, across northern Syria and most of the east. It spreads into most of the Sunni-dominated areas of northern and western Iraq, right up to the edges of Baghdad. That terrain includes the oil fields of Syria’s eastern Deir el-Zour province and parts of Hassakeh. It also includes parts of Aleppo province, including the major towns of Manbej and al-Bab, where the group’s black flags flutter over government buildings and main squares. Because it controls territory on both sides of the border, the group can move fighters, weapons
Muslims outraged at UK sex abuse report ROTHERHAM, England (AP) — Members of Britain’s Pakistani community reacted with outrage Wednesday amid reports that officials failed to act on sex abuse cases because of concerns about racism in the northern English town of Rotherham. Report author Alexis Jay said between 1997 and 2013, some 1,400 children were sexually exploited in the town of 250,000, mostly by Pakistani men. Charities that deal with abused children have expressed shock not just at the number of victims but by the apparent reluctance of town authorities to address the fact that people of Pakistani heritage were involved for fear they would be labeled racists.

Military strength The group is a formidable fighting force in Syria, battling anyone who stands in its way. Since about the beginning of the year, the group has been engaged in a war of attrition with Westernbacked rebels, overwhelming their outposts and picking off towns and villages one by one through force and intimidation. Hundreds of people have been killed in the fighting, which has detracted from the rebellion’s main goal of toppling President Bashar Assad. More recently, the jihadists have turned their attention to Assad’s forces, seizing a series of military bases, including the Tabqa airfield in Raqqa province. Following its blitz in Iraq, the group has moved tanks, cannons, Humvees and surface-to-surface missiles into Syria, parading the hardware recently in Raqqa.

Assad has recently stepped up airstrikes against strongholds of the Islamic State group, perhaps to try to ward off U.S. involvement, to show he can do the job himself and to portray himself as a partner for the international community. The Syrian government has opened the door for potential cooperation with the U.S. to contain the Islamic State group but says any strikes should be done in coordination with Damascus. That’s a problem for the U.S., which risks appearing on the same side as Assad, whose ouster the Obama administration has sought for years. U.S. strikes against the Islamic State group in Syria may help Assad by legitimizing his government at the expense of those seeking to topple him. Any U.S. airstrikes would likely focus on areas near the Iraqi border and militant targets such as training camps in Raqqa, where Assad’s air defense capabilities are almost nonexistent.
Complications U.S. airstrikes in Syria against the Islamic State group would be much more complicated than in Iraq, where they are sanctioned by Baghdad and where battle lines are more clearly drawn. The picture in Syria is more complex, with a host of military players operating in close proximity to each other, including the Islamic State group, the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front, Westernrebels and backed pro-government forces. While the Western-backed rebels have urged the U.S. to extend airstrikes to target the Islamic State group, more hard-line groups in Syria oppose any U.S. involvement.

Obama’s goal had been to announce his decision around Labor Day, before leaving on a trip next week to Estonia and Wales. But a host of national security crises have pushed the announcement back, likely until after Obama returns, said the officials, who weren’t authorized to comment by name and demanded anonymity. After resisting calls to act alone in hopes Congress would pass a comprehensive immigration fix, Obama in June bowed to immigration activists and said that “if Congress will not do their job, at least we can do ours.”
The most sweeping, controversial step under consideration involves halting deportation for millions, a major expansion of a 2012 that program Obama deferred prosecutions for those brought here illegally as children. Roughly half a million have benefited from that program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. But while prosecutors are routinely expected to use their discretion on a caseby-case basis, such blanket exempting of entire categories of people has never been done on the scale of

prices in the nation for regular unleaded, however prices in each of these states have ticked down in the last week. The top five most expensive states are Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, Washington and California. Drivers in South Carolina are paying the least per gallon at $3.15, a savings of $1.15 compared to drivers in Hawaii.” A couple factors have kept pump prices in the Pacific region higher than in other parts of the country. First of all, experts say, this region is somewhat geographically isolated from the cheaper crude oil products that are available in the central part of the country. Secondly, refinery issues on the West
Coast have kept supplies tight in this region, which kept pump prices elevated for much of the spring and summer. If there are no additional refinery or distribution issues in the region, drivers here should start to get some relief in the coming weeks. The annual shift to the cheaper winter blend of gasoline starts Sept. 15. Demand normally drops off after Labor Day, as the kids head back to school, and the busy summer driving season comes to an end. Oregon is one of only seven states where gas prices are more expensive now than a year ago. The year-over-year largest increases are reported in Nevada and Oregon, where drivers are paying 16 cents more than a year ago. The state is below its year-to-date high of $3.99 that it reached July 3. Geopolitical tensions,
particularly in the Middle East, could still create issues at the pump. In recent years, violence and unrest in the Middle East has triggered higher global crude oil prices and ultimately higher prices at the pump; however, this has not been the case this summer. In recent weeks, oil markets have largely shrugged off reports of violence and tensions overseas and have instead moved steadily lower as analysts assessed the potential for a disruption in oil supplies to be limited. This is largely due to the relative stability of global supply projections, attributed to the U.S. approaching its highest annual level of oil production since 1972 and Libya’s returning to previous production levels. Hawaii has the most expensive gas in the country for the 96th consecutive week at $4.30, followed by Alaska at $4.07.
what Obama is considering — potentially involving many millions of people if he extends relief to parents of DACA children, close relatives of U.S. citizens or immigrants with clean criminal records. “The question is how broadly can the president extend the categories and still stay on the side of spectrum of ensuring the laws are faithfully executed?” said Cristina Rodriguez, who left the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel in 2013 to teach at Yale Law School. Other options under consideration, such as changes
to how green cards are distributed and counted, might be less controversial because of the support they enjoy from the business community and other influential groups. But Derrick Morgan, a former adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney and a scholar at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said Obama will still face staunch opposition as long as he attempts an end run around Congress. “Any potential executive action the president takes will be rooted in a solid legal foundation,” White House spokesman Shawn Turner said, but Obama’s actions
will almost surely be challenged in court. Republicans are already hinting they’ll consider legal action to thwart what they’ve denounced as a violation of the separation of powers. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in a conference call this month with GOP House members, accused Obama of “threatening to rewrite our immigration laws unilaterally.” “If the president fails to faithfully execute the laws of our country, we will hold him accountable,” Boehner said, according to an individual who participated in the call.

There were ways around it, he said, including appealing a no-hire decision or applying for a less desirable job first to gain experience and references.

Old clubs increase respect for pros “These guys are good.” That’s a catchphrase used by the PGA Tour to promote its players in commercials for tournaments on television. It’s true. The pros are good. But I’ve come to really appreciate the guys who came before the current players. Scoring now isn’t a whole lot better than it was 30 years ago, especially when you realize how much the equipment has improved. Think about how many different types of balls there are now, designed to fly farther or straighter or have more spin. I readily admit that I’m not nearly a good enough golfer that the SPORTS type of ball I hit makes any difference. As long as it doesn’t have a big crack in it and I can still read the label, it’s good enough for me. Then there are the clubs. JOHN For a couple GUNTHER of decades now, drivers have been made of metal instead of wood. And gradually, the heads of those drivers have gotten bigger. I’ve never been able to figure out those drivers with huge heads. A comedian who probably has similar skills to me once said the problem with the newer drivers is that he hits the ball much farther out of bounds than usual. The metal woods I use are still the first ones I got, which have heads relatively tiny compared to today’s best models. The technology for irons for regular golfers also has improved, with cavities in the back that give the irons a bigger “sweet spot” so hackers like us can hit the ball straighter and, sometimes, farther. While I can’t use the big drivers, I enjoy the improvements in the irons. But a part of me has always enjoyed woods that are actually made of wood. I have collected a number of them over the years at thrift shops, and subsequently broken most of them because they weren’t in great shape to start. My eyes lit up when I saw an old set of clubs with wooden woods at Coquille’s recent citywide garage sale. I was just going to get the driver, 3-wood and 5wood, but the owner said he wanted to get rid of the whole set and offered me a deal for the works — the clubs, the bag, its pull cart and a pair of old leather spikes. He said he hadn’t used the clubs in 20 years, and I believe him after looking at them. The irons are an old Jack Nicklaus model made by MacGregor. They are tiny and have very little cavity. Pros use irons with no cavities, called blades. They can hit the ball better, but you have to hit them just right. And the putter has a very heavy head that feels like lead. I took the new clubs out for a test run last week, hitting a bucket of balls on the range at Bandon Crossings. While the ball soared off the new woods, I found that the irons were effective when my swing was good, and not good the rest (majority) of the time. I got to where I was happy with how I was hitting the clubs and decided to play a quick nine holes with just them. The result was a number of great drives, at least by my standards, and a bunch of sub-standard second shots where I either didn’t hit the ball the right distance or miss-hit it and put it offline. When I did get to the greens, my putting was atrocious at best. After I wrote my sixth seven on the scorecard, I had a much higher score than normal (and my scores usually aren’t particularly good). What did I learn? The new old clubs have potential — the woods will replace my regular ones in my bag. Beyond that, though, I gained even more appreciation for the golfers who shot par or better with the same style of clubs long before today’s technology. Those guys were good, too.

Maria Sharapova returns a shot to Alexandra Dulgheru during their second-round match at the U.S. Open on Wednesday.
Sharapova survives three-set battle NEW YORK (AP) — A year ago at this time, Maria Sharapova was sitting out the U.S. Open, getting checked by doctors and having tests on the surgically repaired right shoulder that has troubled her off and on. On Wednesday, Sharapova found herself down by a set and facing a break point early in the second at Flushing Meadows, bothered by the whipping wind, her own off-target strokes and an opponent who wasn’t backing down. As dusk fell and the Arthur Ashe Stadium lights came on, Sharapova came through the way she so often does in the crucible of a third set, beating 95th-ranked Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the second round of the Grand Slam tournament she won in 2006 but has missed twice in the past six years. Sharapova won in part because of her big shots, yes, but also because she had more in the tank when it mattered. “Overall I felt like in the end I was in much better shape than she was, and I could have played another few sets,” Sharapova said. “Mentally that helped me a lot.” It helped that Dulgheru had played one set over the past five weeks because of inflammation in her right wrist, which was operated on in May 2013 and flared up recently. Dulgheru, though, pointed to Sharapova’s grit as a key factor, too. “The thing is that she’s smacking the ball and she’s a fighter. ... It can seem that she’s down, that she’s tired, but she’s there,” Dulgheru said. “She can get mentally really tough. She hangs in there with you until the end.”
Sharapova improved to 17-6 in three-setters this season, including four wins in a row that went the distance en route to the title at the French Open in June, her fifth Grand Slam trophy. “It’s really good to get through,” said Sharapova, who faces 2013 Wimbledon runner-up Sabine Lisicki next. “Put yourself in a really tough position, but then you’re able to find a way to get back and finish really strong.” She managed to do that on a day that was not easy for some other seeded women in the second round, although No. 19 Venus Williams, the 2000-01 champion in New York, advanced with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over 78th-ranked Timea Bacsinszky at night. That match was followed by Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka’s 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (1) victory over 91st-ranked Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil. As the match stretched past midnight, the third-seeded Wawrinka got into a tiff with a spectator, saying: “Shut up, man! Seriously, shut up.” He’s into the third round in New York for the fourth time in five years. He was a semifinalist a year ago. Williams got to the third round at Flushing Meadows for the first time since 2010. “As the tournament goes on it will get tougher,” Williams said. No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, a finalist at Wimbledon two years ago, became the first man or woman seeded in the top 10 to lose, defeated 6-3, 6-4 by 39th-ranked Peng Shuai of China. And No. 21 Sloane Stephens of the
United States had her earliest exit at the U.S. Open, eliminated 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 by 96th-ranked Johanna Larsson of Sweden. Stephens was largely her own undoing, compiling a whopping 63 unforced errors. She was in such a hurry to get out of there that she briskly walked around the net to Larsson’s side of the court for a handshake. Stephens has failed to get past the second round at 11 tournaments in 2014, including the past two Grand Slam events. That follows a streak in which the 21-year-old American made it to the fourth round or better at six consecutive majors. “I haven’t had that great of a season,” Stephens said. “But ... I’m not going to dwell on it.” The U.S. Open is the only Grand Slam tournament at which Radwanska never has made it to the quarterfinals. That includes another second-round loss to Peng, four years ago. “I really want to know the answer,” Radwanska said. “Then maybe I will find a way to play better here and just try another way to be in the second week.” After three days of action, the men’s tournament has yet to have a significant surprise, and the only seeded players to lose Wednesday were No. 27 Santiago Giraldo of Colombia and No. 30 Jeremy Chardy of France. The man who beat Chardy, 92nd-ranked Blaz Kavcic of Slovenia, now faces Wawrinka. Otherwise, No. 6 Tomas Berdych, No. 7 Grigor Dimitrov and No. 14 Marin Cilic were among those advancing.
Leonard has no regrets for family-first weekend Pro’s season ends early after spending week at camp for children with cancer ■
PARAMUS, N.J. (AP) — Justin Leonard ordinarily would have played the final week of the PGA Tour’s regular season, and this is one time he probably should have gone. He likes the Wyndham Championship and typically plays well, having never missed the cut. And at No. 108 in the FedEx Cup, it would have been his last chance to improve his standing heading into the playoffs, where it’s all about moving up the list and advancing to the next week. But then he got an offer he couldn’t refuse. His wife and four kids had spent a week in Colorado the last previous two years at Camp Mati, where children with cancer and their families are afforded a brief escape from the emotional, physical and financial strain of coping with cancer. Leonard had been involved in fundraising, though his golf schedule always kept him from going.
The Associated Press
Justin Leonard holds his trophy after winning the St. Jude Championship in 2008. He won’t have a similar success story this season. “Last summer my kids came back and said, ‘Dad, you’ve got to go with us,”’ he said. Leonard couldn’t recall his children (ages 4, 8, 9 and 10) wanting him to do anything this badly. “Other than play Disney, and
we don’t have that tournament anymore,” he said with a laugh. “No, that was probably the first time. So I said that whatever I need to do, I’ll do. There are more important things (than golf). And it was an amazing week.”
Leonard called it the best trip of the summer. He returned to work last week having slipped to No. 115 in the FedEx Cup, and then he missed the cut at The Barclays to end his season earlier than he would have wanted. Had he played the Wyndham Championship? He still might not have been among the top 100 who advanced to Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston this week. That was irrelevant. This was important. Over the years, Leonard and wife Amanda have quietly gone about their involvement in charity. From the seven President Cup and Ryder Cup teams he has played that had a charitable component, he has shared the wealth. Leonard has channeled his donations to the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and to Camp Esperanza, to the Visiting Nurse Association and to the Ark House, to the Les Turner ALS Foundation and to H.O.P.E. Farm, Inc. “For some organizations, $20,000 is not a big deal and for others it can be half their budget,” he said. “We try to stay local and spread it around pretty good.” SEE LEONARD | B3
Football teams will kick off season in jamborees THE WORLD A number of area football teams will face competition for the first time this season Friday, though not in official games. Starting this year, the Oregon School Activities Association banned official games until after three weeks of practices, putting an end to the traditional “zeroweek” games that had become popular in recent years.
But OSAA still allows jamborees, which come with a structured number of plays. Coquille hosts one of the jamborees Friday, while Marshfield and North Bend travel to the Willamette Valley to participate in events at Junction City and Cascade, respectively. The varsity and junior varsity teams from Bandon and Reedsport will be in Coquille, along with the JV team from Myrtle Point.
The Reedsport and Coquille varsity teams face off at 5 p.m., followed by the Bandon and Myrtle Point JV teams at 5:30, the Reedsport and Bandon varsity teams at 6, the Coquille and Myrtle Point JV teams at 6:30, the Reedsport and Myrtle Point JV teams at 7 and the Bandon and Coquille varsity teams at 7:30. Under the OSAA guidelines, each team can participate in a total of 36 offensive snaps (including
punts and extra point or field goal kicks) during a jamboree, meaning the offensive units from Reedsport will have 18 snaps against both Coquille and Bandon. The Junction City jamboree, which includes Marshfield, starts at 6 p.m. The Cascade jamboree, which includes North Bend, Mountain View and Dallas, begins at 7 p.m. at Cascade High School in Turner, southeast of Salem.

Sports Arbitrtor upholds Gordon suspension THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — Josh Gordon’s wait is over, and so is his 2014 season. Now the star wide receiver’s career is in peril. The Browns learned Gordon’s indefinite suspension by the NFL has been upheld and he will miss at least 16 games for another violation of the league’s substance abuse policy. A repeat drug offender, Gordon had appealed the penalty, hoping it would be reduced so he could play this season. The NFL, though, came down hard on Gordon, who must now pay the price for stepping out of bounds. The league announced that arbitrator Harold Henderson supported Gordon’s yearlong suspension for marijuana use. The Pro Bowler, who was subject to more frequent testing, will begin serving his suspension immediately and the league said in its statement that his “eligibility for reinstatement will be determined following the 2014 season.” In the meantime, Gordon is not allowed to practice with the team, attend meetings or other club functions. While he’s out, Gordon, who served a two-game suspension for a drug violation last season, will need to pass drug tests, comply with treatment and apply for reinwith statement Commissioner Roger Goodell before he plays again. Gordon could possibly return inside a year if he stays clean. “I’d like to apologize to my teammates, coaches, the Cleveland Browns organization and our fans,” Gordon said in a statement. “I am very disappointed that the NFL and its hearing office didn’t exercise better discretion and judgment in my case. I would like to sincerely thank the people who have been incredibly supportive of me during this challenging time, including my family, my agent, my union, my legal team, and the Cleveland Browns staff.”

Pittsburgh’s Ike Davis bats against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. Davis hit a go-ahead home run for the Pirates.
Surging Pirates top Cardinals THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — Ike Davis hit a tworun homer off a speaker above the seats in right-center field, Jeff Locke outpitched Adam Wainwright and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 Wednesday. Pittsburgh took two of three from the MLB defending NL champions and has won Recap five of seven overall. St. Louis (71-61) leads the NL wildcard race, with San Francisco (70-62) trailing by a half-game and the Pirates (69-64) 11⁄2 games back of the Giants for the second wild-card berth. Davis hit his 10th homer in the second after Wainwright hit Russell Martin on the left elbow with a pitch that Martin barely tried to avoid. Davis sent an 88 mph pitch clanking off a speaker raised on a pole about 15 feet above the seats, a drive estimated at about 433 feet. A night earlier, Davis had a pinchhit, tiebreaking three-run homer in the eighth inning of Pittsburgh’s 5-2 win. Locke (6-3) allowed one run and six hits in 7 1-3 innings, giving up Matt Holliday’s third-inning homer. Locke also singled in the third and scored on Andrew McCutchen’s sacrifice fly, just the 11th hit for the pitcher in 98 career at-bats. Dodgers 3, Diamondbacks 1: Clayton Kershaw allowed only an unearned run in eight innings to become the first 16-game winner in the majors. Kershaw (16-3) allowed six hits, retiring 12 of the final 13 batters he faced, seven by strikeout, to improve to 13-1 in his last 16 starts. The left-handed ace struck out 10 and walked two. Giants 4, Rockies 2: Buster Posey hit a game-ending two-run shot for his third homer in two nights, sending the Giants to Bruce Bochy’s 1,600th managerial victory. Posey sent an 0-1 pitch from Juan Nicasio (5-6) just inside the left-field foul pole for his 18th homer of the year and second career walkoff homer. He also had one on May 3, 2013, against the Dodgers. Phillies 8, Nationals 4: Pinch-hitter Grady Sizemore hit a go-ahead tworun homer in the sixth inning, helping
the Phillies complete a three-game sweep. Marlon Byrd hit a two-run homer and Jimmy Rollins hit a solo shot to back Kyle Kendrick (7-11). The last-place Phillies went 7-2 on their best homestand this season. Braves 3, Mets 2: Jason Heyward hit a leadoff home run off Zack Wheeler, and Julio Teheran (13-9) won his third straight start. Reds 7, Cubs 5: Skip Schumaker drove in a pair of runs with a double and a single, and the Reds withstood Jorge Soler’s first at-bat homer and his RBI single. Soler, a 22-year-old prospect from Cuba, was called up Wednesday after getting a nine-year, $30 million deal from the Cubs in 2012. He started in right field and batted fifth. After Luis Valbuena led off the second inning with a homer off Mat Latos (5-3), Soler hit a 2-1 pitch into the Reds’ bullpen in center field. The last Cub to homer in his first at-bat also did it in Cincinnati: Starlin Castro off Homer Bailey on May 7, 2010. Padres 3, Brewers 2: Rene Rivera tied the game with a home run in the ninth inning, then won it with an RBI single in the 10th for San Diego.
AMERICAN LEAGUE Rangers 12, Mariners 4: Rougned Odor hit a third-inning grand slam to back Colby Lewis, and the last-place Rangers beat Seattle. Erasmo Ramirez (1-6), recalled from Triple-A Tacoma for the start, allowed 10 runs and nine hits in three-plus innings. Seattle had been the only major league team not to allow 10 or more runs in a game this season. Lewis (9-11) allowed seven hits, struck out seven and walked one in his second complete game of the season. He had been 0-3 since pitching a five-hit shutout at the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 5. Yankees 8, Tigers 4: The Yankees chased David Price with nine straight hits in the third inning. The Yankees scored all eight of their runs in the third off Price (12-10), who had pitched a one-hitter in his previous start. Jacoby Ellsbury started the barrage, and New York went all the way through the batting order until the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner was pulled after the ninth hit of the inning.
Royals 6, Twins 1: Nori Aoki drove in the go-ahead run during a six-run eighth inning. Billy Butler and Salvador Perez each drove in a pair of runs during the surge, which came after the Twins’ Phil Hughes (14-9) had stymied the Royals for the first seven innings. Athletics 5, Astros 4: Sam Fuld hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the ninth inning to win for Oakland. The A’s trailed by one entering the ninth before Eric Sogard’s RBI single, and Fuld’s two-out shot off Chad Qualls (1-4) landed in the seats in right field to put Oakland up 5-3. White Sox 5, Indians 2: Rookie Jose Abreu hit a pair of run-scoring singles against Cleveland ace Corey Kluber (13-8), and Chicago stopped a seasonhigh, seven-game losing streak Abreu put Chicago ahead for good in the seventh with his third hit of the game. Abreu drove in his AL-high 96th run. Rays 3, Orioles 1: Drew Smyly allowed two hits over seven innings in his second straight overpowering performance. Evan Longoria had three hits for the Rays, who won for only the fourth time in 11 games. Tampa Bay scored all its runs in the first two innings and Smyly (9-10) made the margin stand. Blue Jays 5, Red Sox 2: Pinch-hitter Danny Valencia had a go-ahead, three-run homer in the seventh inning. With Boston leading 2-1, Edwin Encarnacion doubled off Joe Kelly starting the seventh, and left-hander Tommy Layne (0-1) relieved. Dioner Navarro singled after catcher David Ross dropped his foul popup for an error. Right-hander Junichi Tazawa came in, and Valencia turned on a 2-0 pitch for his first home run since Toronto acquired him from Kansas City on July 28. Eight of 20 home runs off Tazawa in his big league career have been hit by Blue Jays batters.
INTERLEAGUE Angels 6, Marlins 1: Mike Trout tied a career high with his 30th home run, and Gordon Beckham homered for the first time with his new club. Hector Santiago (4-7) ended a string of six consecutive no-decisions in a starting role, helping the Angels maintain their one-game lead in the AL West over Oakland and improve the major leagues’ best record to 79-53.

They lost to Oklahoma City in the second round of the playoffs. Rivers has a career regular-season record of 644498 and a 70-64 playoff mark, with previous head coaching stints in Boston, where he won the 2008 NBA title, and Orlando.
Miami signs veteran guard Shannon Brown MIAMI — Shannon Brown signed Wednesday with the Miami Heat, the ninth team the veteran guard has been part of in his career. Brown appeared in 29 games last season with New York and San Antonio. He has appeared in 403 games for seven different clubs, and was briefly with Washington last season though never appeared in a game. Brown played for the Los Angeles Lakers when they won NBA titles in 2009 and 2010. He has averaged 7.7 points on 42 percent shooting in his career. He made 33 percent of his attempts from 3-point range. Brown was drafted by Cleveland in 2006. He also played with Chicago, Charlotte and Phoenix.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL North Carolina suspends four players for opener
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina coach Larry Fedora announced the team has suspended four players for this weekend’s season opener, a day after a report of an alleged hazing altercation that left a redshirt freshman walk-on receiver with a possible concussion. Fedora said the four players were suspended for a “violation of team policy,” but offered no other details about what rules were broken. The players suspended were sophomores Des Lawrence and Brian Walker, redshirt freshman Donnie Miles and true freshman M.J. Stewart.

Suzann Pettersen hits out of a sand trap during the recent Wegmans LPGA golf championship. Pettersen defends her title in Portland this week.
LPGA makes annual stop in Portland PORTLAND (AP) — Defending champion Suzann Pettersen looks to make tournament history as the headliner in the LPGA Portland Classic starting today at Columbia-Edgewater Country Club. The 33-year-old Norwegian hopes to join Nancy Lopez as the tournament’s only three-time champion. Pettersen won the Portland tournament in 2011 and 2013. Lopez claimed her titles in 1985, 1987 and 1992. Pettersen rallied with a final-round 5-under 67 to defeat Stacy Lewis by two strokes in the 2013 Portland tournament. The Portland Classic, renamed after Safeway dropped out as its title sponsor after an 18-year stint, started in 1972 and is the longest-run-
ning non-major tournament on the LPGA Tour. Only four of the world’s top 10 players are in this year’s field, including No. 4 Pettersen and No. 5 So Yeon Ryu, who won the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open last week. No. 1 Stacy Lewis and No. 6 Michelle Wie, out with a finger injury, are among those skipping the Portland Classic. Pettersen scored her Portland wins at two different courses. In 2011, it was Pumpkin Ridge, and last year at Columbia-Edgewater. “Pumpkin Ridge, I never really liked, and this one, I never really liked either until I won,” Pettersen said, smiling. “You’ve got to drive the ball well here, and I guess in the past, it was always the straight hitters who did really well around this place.”
Last year’s Portland event kick-started a big finish to 2013 for Pettersen, who won the Safeway Classic, Evian Championship and Taiwan LPGA Championship during a two-month stretch. Pettersen hasn’t won this season, but has been close of late, posting five consecutive top-10 finishes. “I always seem to play well in the fall,” Pettersen said. “I’m playing well, so it’s just about being patient enough to let it come. I’m hitting the ball fantastic. I’m rolling the putts better than I have.” Joining Lopez as a threetime Portland winner “is cool. It’s nice to be in a position like that, but you don’t really want to get too ahead of yourself. But definitely a list I would be quite proud to possibly join,” she said.
While several top players are resting this week in preparation for The Evian Championship, the season’s final major Sept. 11-14, Ryu is in Portland, hoping to continue momentum she created winning the Canadian Pacific last week. It was Ryu’s first LPGA win in more than two years. “It was a bit struggle with my putting for a while, but it looks like my putting feels really great. . if I stop play after last week, it could be I have a chance to have lost feeling. So I think this tournament is really important to going to play Evian,” Ryu said. Also in this year’s field are former Portland champions Mika Miyazato (2012) and Ai Miyazato (2010), as is Women’s British Open champ Mo Martin.
They stumbled into Camp Mati without even looking, courtesy of a peculiar chain of events. Jean-Mari Alpert came up with the idea for families who have a child with cancer to spend a fun week together. She cared for her mother (after whom the camp is named) for 14 years until she died of cancer. One year, Alpert went to Young Life’s Trail West Family Camp in Buena Vista, Colorado with a group of Dallas families and loved it. As her mind wandered during the long drive home to Dallas, she was moved to do something for families torn apart by cancer. “They’re financially destroyed, marriages are falling apart, it’s as horrific as you can imagine,” Alpert said. “A lot of them haven’t been on a vacation in a year. A lot of them have never been on vacation. A lot of them have never been a family.” She raised what money she could, tried to seek out families that might be interested and effectively rented the camp for a week. A birthday party changed everything. Alpert’s children go to the same school as the Leonard clan. She knew Amanda Leonard as little more than one of the parents.They met at a birthday party for one of the kids at school, and the festivities included a hike. The two women kept up the same pace. And they started talking. “She was telling me they wanted to find a charity close to their hearts,” Alpert said. “I told her about my camp.” Alpert says she could tell Amanda Leonard wasn’t immediately sold, so she challenged her to spend one week at Camp Mati to check it out for herself. That was three years ago. The Leonards now have an auc-
tion geared around a spin class in Dallas, with all proceeds going to the camp. “We probably funded about 90 percent of it,” Justin Leonard said. He didn’t provide an amount in dollars, only in impact. Because of the support, Alpert this year was able to book another week at Trail West. She called it “Camp Nate” for families who have lost a child to cancer. That was named after Nate Oxford, a young boy who was one of the first to attend Camp Mati. “If they didn’t fund-raise as much as they do, I couldn’t have started the second week,” Alpert said. The families go whitewater rafting. There’s a BB gun range, a ropes course and a Jeep tour. The families grow closer. They stay in touch through Facebook when they get back to Dallas. Alpert said the men have a chance to share emotions they typically keep to themselves. It can be powerful. Leonard wasn’t in Greensboro two weeks ago, where he wanted to be. He was in Colorado, where his kids wanted him to be. “Dad, you’ve got to go with us.” To listen to him talk about his week at Camp Mati is to suspect that Leonard’s week in Colorado brought the same measure of satisfaction as being an NCAA champion at Texas, a U.S. Amateur champion, a British Open champion at Royal Troon, a Ryder Cup hero at Brookline or anything else he has done on the golf course. “In the beginning, I don’t know if he was skeptical, but he was kind of sitting back,” Alpert said. “Sometimes it takes people a little bit to warm up. For sure, he made some big connections with the kids. And by the time the week was over, he was engaging with the families. He was the last person there, talking with them into the night.”

USC suspends Shaw for fabricating rescue story LOS ANGELES (AP) — Josh Shaw has been an exemplary teammate and a valuable leader at Southern California, earning his fellow Trojans’ trust and praise after transferring home to help his family two years ago. His teammates and coaches say they had no reason to doubt the cornerback when he explained his two sprained ankles with an elaborate story about saving his nephew from drowning. Shaw’s tale turned out to be fiction, and USC is left wondering exactly what drove a team captain to such deception. Shaw confessed Wednesday that he lied to school officials about how he injured his ankles last weekend, retracting his story about jumping
off a balcony in a rescue bid. The school swiftly suspended him from all team activities and acknowledged his heroic tale was “a complete fabrication.” “We are extremely disappointed in Josh,” USC coach Steve Sarkisian said. “He let us all down. As I have said, nothing in his background led us to doubt him when he told us of his injuries, nor did anything after our initial vetting of his story.” Shaw is a fifth-year senior who would have been a key starter in USC’s defensive secondary. He was expected to play a major role for the 15th-ranked Trojans, who begin their first season under Sarkisian at the Coliseum on Saturday against Fresno State. Now his college football career
could be finished, and his teammates must figure out how to replace a player who willingly filled any role for the USC defense over the last two years. “We were pretty shocked,” USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams said Wednesday morning. “Josh Shaw is a pretty loyal guy. I would never expect him to make up a story. I would never expect that out of him as a team leader.” After playing his freshman season at Florida, Shaw transferred to USC for the 2012 season, receiving a hardship waiver because he said he needed to assist his ailing father and grandfather with the family landscaping business in his hometown of Palmdale, California. Shaw was a steadying influence
on the USC defense, playing cornerback and safety while starting 14 games during a tumultuous 2013 campaign that included coach Lane Kiffin’s midseason firing. His teammates chose him as a captain for his senior year. Off the field, Shaw has been equally solid. He earned his coaches’ praise for steady leadership and his teammates’ respect during a humanitarian trip to Haiti. He completed an internship at a commercial real estate company in the offseason. He was even selected to speak last May at the school’s studentathlete graduation ceremony, where he gave a rousing speech after athletic director Pat Haden introduced him as “a wonderful, wonderful kid.”
Shaw issued a short statement through criminal defense attorney Donald Etra on Wednesday after being suspended. “On Saturday, August 23, 2014, I injured myself in a fall,” Shaw said. “I made up a story about this fall that was untrue. I was wrong not to tell the truth. I apologize to USC for this action on my part. My USC coaches, the USC athletic department and especially Coach Sarkisian have all been supportive of me during my college career and for that, I am very grateful.” Etra didn’t respond to a request for further details about the cause of Shaw’s injuries, but the attorney told several media outlets that Shaw’s injuries didn’t involve any criminal activity.
Neutral-site games highlight first weekend BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press
Look beyond campus for the big games this weekend: College football’s seasonopening extravaganza features four marquee matchups in NFL stadiums. No. 1 Florida State begins defense of its national championship against Oklahoma State at A T & T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the billion dollar home of Dallas Cowboys — and the first College Football Playoff title game. At NRG Stadium in Houston, No. 13 LSU faces No. 14 Wisconsin in an SECBig Ten matchup. In Atlanta, the Chick-filA Kickoff Game has done so well since its debut in 2008 that this season they’ll play two at the Georgia Dome. Boise State faces No. 18 Mississippi tonight. No. 2 Alabama, making its fourth appearance at the Chick-filA Kickoff game, meets West Virginia. Atlanta was at the forefront the growing trend for neutral-site games, with ESPN helping to play matchmaker. As teams try to fortify their schedules without signing up for too many home-and-home series that require true road games, neutral site matchups and the paydays they offer to both teams have become even more appealing. “This format of kickoff games is only going to expand,” said Gary Stokan, president and CEO of the Chick-fil-A Bowl Peach Bowl. Charlotte, North Carolina, is getting into the act starting next season when South Carolina and North Carolina play at the home of the NFL’s Panthers. West Virginia and Tennessee are slated to play at Bank of America Stadium in 2018. Orlando, Florida, hopes to join the crowd in 2016 after the Citrus Bowl is reconstructed. The picks:

College season starts with wild finish BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press
ATLANTA — The first season major college football’s champion will be decided by a playoff began Wednesday night in a mostly empty Georgia Dome, with one of the newest members of FBS taking on a team starting its second season in Division I. The road to the College Football Playoff started here and Georgia State got a head start on the rest of the competition — which only seems fair given the Panthers’ credentials — with a wild 38-37 victory against Abilene Christian in front of announced crowd of 10,140. Today, the heavyweights start to join the race. The Georgia Dome crowd will swell significantly when No. 18 Mississippi faces Boise State tonight. On Saturday, No. 2 Alabama fans figure to pack the home of the NFL’s Falcons for its opener against West Virginia. No. 1 Florida State begins defense of its national title in Texas against Oklahoma
State at the home of the Dallas Cowboys. By the time Labor Day night rolls around and Miami welcomes Louisville to the Atlantic Coast Conference, every ranked team will have played. There will be a few big games: The post-Manziel era begins for No. 21 Texas A&M at No. 9 South Carolina on Thursday night, and No. 16 Clemson is at No. 12 Georgia on Saturday. And there will be plenty of mismatches: No. 8 Michigan State against Jacksonville State; No. 3 Oregon vs. South Dakota; and No. 19 Arizona State facing Weber State, to name a few. But it all started rather humbly Wednesday night in Atlanta. At a small parking lot across the street from the Georgia Dome, a few dozen students tailgated. There was a football being chucked around. A game of cornhole being hotly contested. Most were wearing Georgia State’s royal blue somewhere on their bodies. A huge grill and a DJ were set up, courtesy of Georgia
State, and the marching band and cheerleaders came by to help with the entertainment. Brandon Rosenstein, 21, a senior at Georgia State, and his group of friends were doing their own cooking under a small tent. “I’ve always been a ‘Dawgs fan,” he said, referring to Georgia’s Bulldogs. “But when I came here I became a Panthers fan, too.” This is Year 4 of Georgia State football and the first as a full-fledged member of FBS and the Sun Belt Conference. Playing against a full FBS schedule for the first time last year, the Panthers went 0-12. “One win,” 19-year-old sophomore Emil Nirkis predicted for the Panthers. “I don’t even know who we’re playing (tonight).” In the heart of SEC country, this felt a long way from the SEC. A few thousand fans dotted the lower tier of the dome at kickoff, some wearing Abilene Christian purple. The Wildcats moved up a division to FCS last year and fared OK, going 6-5. The first touchdown by an
FBS team of the 2014 season was a 34-yard pass by Nick Arbuckle to Joel Ruiz, who did a mini-somersault into the end zone to give Georgia State a 7-3. Arbuckle was sensational in his first start for Georgia State. The junior college transfer passed for 413 yards and four touchdowns, and led a 72-yard drive in the final 2:41 that included two fourth-down conversions. Wil Lutz lined through a 26-yard field goal with 4 seconds left and Georgia State snapped its 16-game losing streak. “We have a one-game winning streak now,” secondyear coach Trent Miles said. No, the Panthers won’t be contending for a spot in the College Football Playoff. If Florida State is No. 1 in the 128-team FBS, Georgia State is still likely to finish much closer to No. 128 than the final four. But for a night, the Panthers had the stage — and ESPNU — all to themselves. Hopefully for their sake, the playoff selection committee was watching.
Player from Cameroon shines for Colorado BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The colossal Cameroonian right tackle for the Colorado Buffaloes is a raw talent with a big heart. Stephane Nembot left his family and came to America as a teenager to play high school basketball, only to switch to football because he kept making people bleed whenever he pulled down a rebound. Really, though, the 6-foot-7, 295pound Nembot is a peaceful pass protector. He serves meals at a food shelter, collects used shoes for a charity to ship to Africa and someday wants to open an orphanage. The 23-year-old junior also sends some of his stipend to his parents in Cameroon to help pay for his little sister’s schooling. It’s the least he can do. After all, his mom and dad helped launch his career nearly seven years ago. “My parents, they sold their house and everything they possess for me to come here,” said Nembot, whose team opens the season against Colorado State on Friday in Denver. Each Sunday, Nembot checks in with his family. Just little updates on how his brother and sister are doing and how he’s getting along (he’s not a fan of American food, but does like pasta). He’s hoping that someday, before he graduates, they might even attend a game at Folsom Field. He misses home. He misses them. In May, Nembot went back to Cameroon for the first time since he was 16.
The Associated Press
University of Colorado tackle Stephane Nembot poses for a photo after practice Aug. 13. His sister didn’t even recognize him at the airport. Nembot grew five inches and gained nearly 100 pounds since the native of in Douala, Cameroon, last set foot in the country. “It was just fun to see my sister run around to look for me,” said Nembot. “My mom used to complain how skinny I was, used to take me to the hospital to see if anything was wrong. I’m not (skinny) anymore.” Nembot was discovered while attending a basketball camp in Cameroon. His parents scraped together enough money for a plane ticket and he was sent to prep schools in Maine
(didn’t like it) and Illinois (too cold), before eventually landing at Montclair Prep School in Van Nuys, California. It was there that he ran into Reggie Smith Jr., a football coach at the school back then. One glance at Nembot’s bruising strength on the court convinced Smith that football was more of his calling. He invited Nembot to give the sport a try. At first, Nembot took his lumps, once even getting flattened by a fullback almost half his size. But Nembot asked for another chance. “The next play Stephane hit the fullback so hard the kid’s helmet swung around,” said Smith, the son of former major league All-Star Reggie Smith. “That’s when we all said, ‘Yeah, he’s going to be all right at this.”’ The easygoing Nembot blossomed into a tenacious defensive lineman by his senior year of high school. He had 61 tackles and 11 sacks, earning his way onto some national recruiting lists. USC was interested. So was UCLA, which wasn’t too surprising since Nembot’s cousin is Luc Mbah a Moute, a former Bruins forward who was recently traded to Philadelphia in the deal that sent Kevin Love to Cleveland. “My cousin would call me when I was in high school just to say, ‘Hey, good job,”’ Nembot said. The Buffaloes lured Nembot to town through one simple gesture — they actually called his mom and dad. That made a big impression.

BRIDGE Livy, a Roman historian who died in A.D. 17, said, “The troubles that have come upon us always seem more serious than those that are only threatening.” This week we are looking at active and passive defense. The defenders either strive to take winners (active) or sit back and wait for declarer to give them tricks (passive). First, the defenders listen to the auction. But when that does not help them to know which plan to adopt, they must take the dummy
into account. Is it threatening or not? Threatening is a dummy with a short suit, giving declarer ruffing tricks, or a long side suit, offering declarer a second source of winners. Unthreatening is a balanced hand. In this example, how should East defend against four spades after West leads the diamond two and East takes dummy’s queen with his king? I would have raised to three notrump with that North hand because of the strong doubleton — and gone down in flames after a diamond lead. East, since the dummy is so flat, should return a diamond at trick two, which removes that dummy entry. If declarer is psychic, he can make the contract: heart to the queen, two rounds of trumps, diamond ruff in the dummy, second heart finesse, cash the heart ace, and run the club nine. East wins with his 10 and returns a low club, but South plays low from his hand to lose only one diamond and two clubs. However, he is unlikely to find that line and will go down. With a relatively flat dummy, stay passive.
