Modular meeting

The World

NORTH BEND — Lighthouse School’s move to North Bend Middle School is underway, though some say the hasty decision will hurt the district in the long run. Districtwide reconfiguration will put about 450 students in both Hillcrest and North Bay elementary schools, each housing grades 1-5 and all-day kindergarten. Grades 6-8 will stay at North Bend Middle School, with Lighthouse School (the district’s K-8 charter school) moving in to the sixth-grade wing. This switch-up means four fifth-grade classes are moving to the elementary schools; around 220 Lighthouse students are taking their place. That’s caused heartburn in the community. Some say the change doesn’t solve the district’s overcrowding problem, one of the main reasons school leaders considered reconfiguration in the first place. “Ideas were put forth, but the community input I was privy to did not reflect the current plan,” North Bend parent Lawrence Cheal said at the July school board meeting. “Four options were put on the table to be voted on at the March 17 school board meeting — none of them were chosen. The public learned at that meeting that Lighthouse had found a building. Based on speculation that everything would fall into place, the board voted that night on a new option.”

The North Bend Planning Commission will meet at 7 p.m. Aug. 18, in North Bend City Council chambers, 835 California St. School officials hope to get approval at this meeting to place a modular classroom behind North Bend Middle School, facing D Street.

The math at NBMS 630 students in grades 5-8 - 112 fifth-graders to the elementary schools + 220 Lighthouse students = 738 students at NBMS These numbers are estimates, as enrollment changes daily.

In the end, the board didn’t choose any of the options with the last-minute news that Lighthouse might move to the former ACS/Xerox call center. By the end of June, the call center deal fell through when renovation costs came in about $300,000 higher than expected. The school board went into emergency mode, quickly deciding to offer a wing of the middle school to Lighthouse. Special meetings called for decisions on Lighthouse came with no time allotted for public comment.

Lighthouse will take up eight classrooms, a gathering room, an office and a modular on the back side of the middle school. Sherri O’Connor, the district’s business and finance director, said only one modular needs to be ordered. With renovations, the final bill for the move will run about $255,000, she said. That depends on a North Bend planning commission decision Aug. 18. The district needs the commission to give SEE LIGHTHOUSE | A8

KABUL, Afghanistan — A man dressed in an Afghan army uniform opened fire Tuesday on foreign troops at a military base, killing at least one U.S. soldier and wounding 15 people, among them a German brigadier general and “about a dozen” Americans, authorities said. Details about the attack at Camp Qargha, a base west of the capital, Kabul, weren’t immediately clear. Gen. Mohammmad Zahir Azimi, a spokesman for Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry, said a “terrorist in an army uniform” opened fire on both local and international troops. Azimi said the shooter had been killed and that three Afghan army officers were wounded.

Men facing charges in MP assault BY THOMAS MORIARTY The World

COQUILLE — Two men face Measure 11 charges in a violent assault on a Myrtle Point man last week. Glenn Sears and Jason Alex Barreras-Sanchez are charged with first-degree robbery, third-degree assault, first-degree theft, two counts of first-degree burglary, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of menacing. Sears and Barreras-Sanchez were arrested July 26 after Myrtle Point police took a report that a man was assaulted and robbed of a firearm in his home on the 700 block of Willow Street. According to a probable cause statement filed in Coos County Circuit Court, an officer had seen the pair walking away from the address shortly before 6 a.m. A few minutes later, dispatchers took a report that an assault had taken place inside the home. The officer found the home’s resident, Cecil Welburn, had suffered extensive injuries to his face and neck. Welburn said two men had taken his .25 ACP semiautomatic pistol, and a friend in the house identified the assailants as Sears and Barreras-Sanchez. While the officer was at the home, dispatchers took a report of a fight with shots fired in the 1000 block of Harris Street, where Barreras-Sanchez lived in a trailer. After police arrested him at the trailer, he told officers that Sears had been firing the pistol into the ground after showing it off. Sears was arrested near Myrtle Crest Elementary School. Two different witnesses told officers that Sears and Barreras-Sanchez had forced their way into Welburn’s home. When the man pulled a gun and asked the pair to leave, Sears picked up a cast iron pan and advanced on Welburn, using it as a shield. Witnesses said that after taking Welburn’s gun, Sears held the home’s other occupants at gunpoint SEE ASSAULT | A8

NORTH BEND — Things are getting busy over at The Mill this week, which is just the way they like it, of course. It is estimated that over 500 visitors, and their RVs, will be taking part in the Monaco International RV Club’s 30th anniversary motor coach rally this week in North Bend. The national organization, part of the Family Motor Coach Association, is in town, in part, because of the success of a larger rally in 2012. That FMCA rally brought over 1,200 participants to the South Coast. “Visitors at the 2012 event were thrilled with how they were received by our communities, which helped inspire Monaco International to bring their rally to the South Coast,” said Terri Porcaro, general manager of The Mill Casino Hotel & RV Park. “Hosting an event like this is a great privilege for The Mill and an even greater opportunity for our communities to show what we have to offer travelers to our region.” Rally Master Jack Brewster said, for those who have not attended one of these events, it is best described as part convention and part family reunion. “We get together three to four times a year as a club, at various places, we’ve been all over the country doing rallies,” he said. “We are a real big family. We really go to see each other, for the camaraderie, and to have a real good time. That is what it is all about.” To help with the fun, The Mill planned a variety of activities for the rally-goers, including a poker run to shops and local venues in North Bend and Coos Bay. Tours of local attractions also give visitors a taste of what the region has to offer, while members of the Coquille Indian Tribe demonstrate native cooking techniques and discuss tribal culture at a traditional salmon bake. Those are extra benefits that the participants appreciate, Brewster added. “Normally, when we do a rally, we have a very full schedule. We have meals, they are trying to sell them

Community theater BY GAIL ELBER For The World

The South Coast supports several community theater groups. Little Theatre on the Bay (established in 1948) in North Bend, the Dolphin Players (established in 1979) in Coos Bay, Sawdust Theatre (established in 1966) in Coquille, Bandon Playhouse (established in 1976), Ellensburg Theater Company in Gold Beach, and Brookings Harbor Community Theater all delight their communities. Other theater groups may mount more serious productions,

but Sawdust Theatre represents the biggest undertaking. Every Friday and Saturday from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the Sawdust Theatre puts on an 1890s-style melodrama. The audience is encouraged to hiss the villain, cheer the hero and “Ahhh” the heroine during an extravagantly silly play. Each year’s play is created by local writers, incorporating local history and current in-jokes. In addition to the melodrama, “olio” performers cavort on stage between the acts, dancers perform the can-can, and the audience participates in a sing-

along before the show. Two complete casts alternate performances. Counting actors and support personnel, more than 1,400 people have participated in Sawdust Theatre in the past 48 years. A 1994 fire destroyed the troupe’s original home, the Roxy Theatre, and all its costumes and props, but the theater moved to its current location in 2000. World File Photo

Let’s lighten up for a moment, OK? Our view All work and no play make us grumpy and irritable. Take a moment and tune into some funtime.

What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

Time to take a break from all the seriousness of liquefied natural gas, community enhancement plans, the economy, school funding and mosquito eradication, don’t you think? We can sometimes get too wrapped up in the issues of government and commerce, fretting over money and public policy. We disagree, we argue, we get frustrated that things aren’t going our way — or going at all. All work and no play makes for a dull community. Fortunately, the South Coast still knows how to have fun — all the way into fall.

We just finished with DuneFest up around Winchester Bay, and the Oregon Coast Music Association festival and Coos County fair were just last month. Look at what else is in store: The Sunday Public Market kicked off again last Sunday in Coos Bay, next to the visitor information center downtown. That event runs every Sunday through October. This evening is the 31st annual National Night Out in North Bend — live entertainment, games, free food and fun for families. This Saturday, head to Charleston for the 25th

annual Charleston Seafood Festival at the marina. Or, head north for the 15th annual Lakeside Cardboard Boat Races at the boat launch. If you like hot cars and nostalgia, you can’t go wrong at this year’s RatRod-ORama, Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Pottsville Museum in Merlin, just up Interstate 5 from Grants Pass. It’s the group’s seventh annual, and this year proceeds benefit the Rogue Valley Humane Society. Closer to home, Kool Coastal Nights cruises through Winchester Bay the same day. And a perennial favorite, the Blackberry Arts Festival,

kicks off the same weekend in Coos Bay. Of course, September means cranberry harvest, and it wouldn’t be complete without the Cranberry Festival, now in its 68th year, Sept. 12-14. And in October there’s OctoberFish, annual celebration of the chicken of the sea and fundraiser for the Charleston Food Bank. Next thing you know, it’s Halloween, then Thanksgiving, and time to count our blessings. So, go have some fun. We’ll get back to serious stuff another time.

Is that really my family? “Katy! It’s been so long! How’ve you been?” My God, she’s gained so much weight I didn’t recognize her. It’s a good thing we’re all wearing nametags. I thought it was some distant cousin past due with triplets. “Bob! Long time, no see.” No hair, either. Not a single hair left on his head and he’s 10 years younger than I am. He’s a cousin. Does that mean baldness runs in the family? Or can you catch it? I know there are many, many men who look manly with no hair, and a lot of men shave it now, but Bob is not one of them. He looks like a shifty accountant. Even with hair, he would look shifty, now that I think about it. If he asks me who’s doing my taxes, I’ll make up a name. If I tell him I do my own, he’ll tell me how foolish I am, that he could save me thousands. Then I’d have to admit that I don’t make thousands. All my aunts and uncles and cousins would know it in a heartbeat. “Aunt Betty! It’s been too long.” It’s Bob’s mom. She’s obviously had something done to her face. Not a facelift — there’s not a crane big enough to lift that thing — but a little work around the eyes, maybe some botox in her foreJIM head, a little collagen in MULLEN her lips. She’s 65, and her hair is jet-black and Humorist stuck to her head like a batting helmet. It’s like seeing Betty Boop’s hair on Ma Kettle’s head. She asks if Bob has done my taxes. “No? You should use him. He saved me so much that I had a little work done.” “Really? You don’t look a day over 50.” “What’s that got to do with my new kitchen cabinets?” “Uh, I’m going to go get a beer. Can I get you something?” “Still drinking?” “Only at family reunions. Who says I’ve been drinking?” “Oh, no one. We all just feel so sorry for Sue.” I wander off to look for Sue, and find her with cousin Jenny and her new baby. “Isn’t this the cutest child you’ve ever seen?” she says. Obviously, Sue was being polite. Rosemary’s baby would win a beauty contest against this child. Of course, you can’t say that. You have to be polite. But honest. “I haven’t seen that many babies,” I say, “but I’ll take your word for it.” Jenny gives us a sad look and says, “It’s such a shame that you two never had children.” “It is,” Sue says. “We had to spend that $180,000 it takes to raise a child until they’re 18 on ourselves. And we have no one to put through college, so we wasted the money on a pontoon boat and a place at the lake. But thanks for saying that. I’m so glad we get together as a family every few years.” That was a little harsh, I thought, but sometimes relatives can get on your nerves. “You ready to go?” I ask her. “We’ve only been here 20 minutes.” “It seems longer. So much longer. And everybody seems to think I have a drinking problem.” “Oh, that was me. I’ve already had two margaritas, so I told them not to give you anything to drink. You’re the designated driver tonight. I guess I could have phrased it differently.” “And we wonder how rumors get started. Be sure to mention that at the intervention. And try not to slur your words too much.” “Yesh, shir.” She makes a mock salute and walks off. Of course she’s having fun. It’s not her family.

Letters to the Editor ‘Fringe’ moniker is off base I want to know, from the folks who seem to be “in the know,” just exactly when and how I became what you have so clearly called all who vote, “the fringe?” I grew up a farmer’s daughter and was taught from the first that to have a right to complain, one must first be involved, i.e. vote! That the American dream meant hard work, honesty, integrity and involvement in community. So I grew up, always thinking I was mainstream, a good citizen, a volunteer, a forward thinking member of my community, state and country. Now it seems that because I see some ways of improving our financial and political systems, and actually attend a meeting once or twice a year, read the letters to the editor and on rare

occasion express my opinion there in, I have been relegated to what was clearly meant as a demeaning description of participation, “the fringe!” I believe in one person, one vote, one voice counts. When I read the fringe statement I was angry, hurt, incensed, insulted and felt belittled. What exactly do you consider non-fringe? Yes men, folks who only agree with you, folks who sit at home and never read a paper, watch the news or have an opinion other than to follow the leader? We are the greatest nation in the world, and I am proud to be a citizen who cares and gets involved. I do not want us to become a nation of sheep who play follow the leader. I believe I and all others who take the time to care and become involved, no matter what their opinion, are owed a huge apology. We are not criminals, nutcases, anarchists and certainly not “fringe” elements.

We are the American People and should be accorded the due respect we deserve! Suzie Biggs Coquille

Do editors know how to edit? I certainly have to agree with the letter published Tuesday, July 29, concerning the editing of The World, and I’m amazed that you won any awards at all, except for maybe cuisine and sports. What must the papers you competed against be like? Your reporters do a very good job, it is when you put their stories in the paper the mistakes happen. In that same issue on page 7 there is another story that just stops with an incomplete sentence, and we see that frequently. I see that you have a total of three editors listed at the top of the editorial page, and so would think at least one

could do a better job. And an improved headline writer wouldn’t be a bad idea. I recognize you are a small town newspaper but you could easily do a much better job. Mike Kelly Coquille

What scares us about child migrants The numbers are small for a large country like this, but the alarm is big over the influx of Central American children coming over the southern border. People are merging this special case involving about 57,000 children with generalized anxiety about a broken immigration system that has resulted in an estimated 11 million illegal residents. At bottom are fears that the United States is incapable of managing an orderly immigration program. The surge of solitary children is especially disturbing because the arrivals are so pitiful. The public knows that they are innocents escaping war-like conditions and grinding poverty. But the public also knows that vast stretches of this troubled planet are soaked in misery. If fleeing war, violence and destitution is reason enough to be granted the right to stay in the United States, distressed souls in the hundreds of millions would qualify. Are these children true refugees, as their advocates insist? To be granted asylum in much of the world, one must arrive directly from a place of

threat. The children from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador are traveling through relasafe tively Mexico. And if what FROMA we’re seeing is HARROP a flood of real refugees, part Columnist of a humanitarian crisis, where’s Canada in all this? Canada seems to be watching the whole scene from a perch of detachment. Finally, there’s the big question of what we should do about people stuck in corrupt countries with collapsed economies. The solution can’t be to simply move entire populations to the United States. Here’s where the latest humanitarian crisis and the system failure do meet: Most of the children are being united with family members, many of whom are themselves here illegally, having come for jobs. So many tough questions are nagging Americans as they watch this sad parade of kids

arriving alone at Texas bus stations. It’s not just about helping several thousand bedraggled children. It’s about loss of control, the absence of a philosophical and legal foundation from which we can deal with such crises. The recent surge is tied to a law signed in 2008 by President George W. Bush that gives child immigrants from Central America special consideration not available to those from Mexico or Canada. Bush was acting on a humanitarian impulse, as was President Barack Obama when he decided to ease up on deporting illegal immigrants brought here as children. America veers from immigration crisis to immigration crisis in large part because it lacks the structure of a wellordered system. It could have had that in the immigration reform legislation that has already passed the Senate on a bipartisan basis. Among other things, it would seriously enforce the ban on hiring undocumented workers, while legalizing millions who came in under the lax rules.

But the Republican-controlled House won’t go along because the plan would “reward lawbreakers.” The perverse result has been to preserve the jobs magnet that attracts the vast majority of illegal immigrants. If foreigners risk coming here without papers in the hopes of receiving an amnesty, as many conservatives argue, that is a product of their own refusal to grant a reprieve that — given the legislation’s strong enforcement mechanism — would be the last amnesty. We call this irony. So round and round we go. Clearly, lines must be drawn, and that’s not easy to do when humans are involved. But good laws do make the lines easier to determine. Without an effective immigration law, the public won’t feel confident that when something extraordinary happens — such as the flow of unaccompanied children from Central America — we can balance kindness with the national interest. We have a law ready to go. Let’s pass it.

Obituaries and State Tread cafefully when naming baby after deceased relative DEAR ABBY: What is the protocol for naming a baby after a deceased person? If the name you want to use is a deceased family member's name, do we ask his next of kin for a p p rova l ? DEAR Do we say nothing? Is it assumed that people who wish to use someone's name when naming their child should seek perJEANNE PHILLIPS m i s s i o n (whether the person is living or dead)? Obviously, some people will use the name regardless of being granted a blessing or not, but I'm wondering what is appropriate in this situation. — PREGNANT IN ILLINOIS DEAR PREGNANT: In the Jewish faith, it is traditional for a baby to be named for a deceased parent or grandparent — or at least given a name with the same first initial. However, if the person who died was a child of a close relative, I can see how that could be very painful for the parents who lost their child. The appropriate thing to do would be to first have a conversation with the surviving family member(s) to be sure it will be considered the honor it is intended to be and not open fresh wounds. If it would cause pain, perhaps the expectant parents should consider making the name of the deceased their baby's middle name instead of first name. DEAR ABBY: During my teens, I was diagnosed with depression and institutionalized following a suicide attempt. Depression is something I live with daily. Unfortunately, my parents and siblings have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy when it comes to anything that may stir up emotions. I feel that it's detrimental to my wellbeing. My doctor has suggested cutting my family out of my life. Dealing with them gives me great anxiety. My mother is a master manipulator who denies my suicide attempt ever happened, and I'm afraid she will tell my extended family members (many of whom I have relationships with) that I have "abandoned the family." No one outside my immediate family knows about my or suicide depression attempt, and I feel I may be forced to reveal that very private part of my life in order to defend my actions. I don't know what to do. — RELUCTANT TO REVEAL DEAR RELUCTANT TO REVEAL: I think you should follow your doctor's advice and not be intimidated. You have an illness — depression — that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is shared by about 9 percent of our population. It is nothing to be ashamed of. Because you're afraid of what your mother will say, explain to those relatives you feel close to what you need to do and the reasons for it. I can't guarantee that some of them won't take sides, but I'm sure not all of them will. Sadly, not all families are functional. Not all parents are good parents, and some of them are toxic. P.S. Because your struggle with depression is ongoing, I hope you are still under the care of a psychotherapist. If you're not, please consider it.

OBITUARIES Lois Ann (Moisan) Croll Feb. 12, 1926 – July 30, 2014

The Associated Press

This Aug. 3 photo provided by the Clatsop County Sheriff's Office shows Jessica Smith. Smith is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter.

Woman accused of killing 1 daughter, cutting other PORTLAND (AP) — A woman going through a divorce and custody battle is accused of killing her 2year-old daughter and severely cutting her teenage daughter at a popular inn on the northern Oregon coast, a crime that shocked tourists and residents. Jessica Smith, 40, of Goldendale, Washington, was ordered held without bail Monday during her first court hearing,in which she appeared via a video feed from jail. Her lawyer, William Falls, declined to comment, except to say the case would be tried in the courtroom, not the media. Authorities began looking for Smith on Friday after a housekeeper at the Surfsand Resort in Cannon Beach found the body of Smith's 2-year-old daughter in a room. The other daughter, age 13, was badly cut and taken to a Portland hospital for surgery, police said. She's expected to recover. On Sunday, a Coast Guard helicopter spotted an SUV driven by Smith in the woods east of Cannon Beach, and authorities soon took her into custody. The mother had been under a court order to turn

over the children to their father, Greg Smith, at 5 p.m. Friday, the day the girls were found in the hotel room, The Oregonian reported. An autopsy concluded the toddler's death was a homicide, although it didn't determine the precise cause. Investigators were awaiting toxicology reports. Smith faces charges of aggravated murder, which could lead to the death penalty, and attempted aggravated murder. At the hearing Monday, she sat at a table, said nothing and frequently looked down. She did not enter a plea, and her next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 12. Smith checked into the Cannon Beach lodging Wednesday. She and Greg Smith separated in April after 17 years of marriage, according to news reports. Greg Smith filed for divorce in June and sought shared custody of the children. Court records show Greg Smith obtained a temporary court order that prevented Jessica Smith from taking their children from the Washington area, or the Portland-Vancouver area,

The Oregonian reported. Greg Smith's attorney, Nathan Petersen, told the newspaper a judge had ordered that Greg Smith be granted limited parenting rights starting Aug. 1. A parenting plan set out in court records shows he was to have the children from Friday evening through Sunday night every other weekend. According to The Oregonian, Greg Smith in July received worrisome text and voice messages from Jessica Smith and the teenage daughter. He requested that a psychologist conduct an evaluation of where the children should be placed. Greg Smith wrote in court papers that the teen sounded in a voice message she left for him as though she was "reading from something that Jessica scripted," making statements like "I'm so sick I can hardly talk," and "It's terrifying and cruel of you not to respect us." According to The Oregonian, the father wrote in the court records that he had a positive relationship with his daughters and did not understand "why Jessica is manipulating our children into believing otherwise."

No public services will be held for Lois Ann Croll, 88, of Charleston. A private inurnment will be held at Ocean Lois Croll V i e w Memory Gardens in Coos Bay. Lois was born Feb. 12, 1926, in Eastside to Francis Ralph Moisan and Mary Catherine (McLean) Moisan. She passed away July 30, 2014, in Coos Bay.

Board gives school chief 28 percent raise PORTLAND (AP) — Portland School Carole Superintendent Smith has gotten a 28 percent raise, over the protests of two board members and teachers. The Oregonian reports the board voted 5-2 Monday for the raise. She’ll be paid $247,000 a year. Proponents said Smith has led the district of 48,000 students through a period of constrained state funding and rising graduation rates — 53 percent to 67 percent. And, they said, her pay has been relatively unchanged: $190,000 a year for her first six years, with a $3,000 raise last year.

STATE D I G E S T Teen goes for last swim of day, drowns SALEM (AP) — A teenager has drowned in a creek that flows through Salem, Oregon. Police Lt. Dave Okada says divers recovered the body of 16-year-old Matthew Tufts from Mill Creek on Monday. Friends said he was last seen Sunday evening getting into the water for a last swim in a stretch of the stream behind a mobile home development. Police say the stretch has some fast-moving water and depths of 2 feet to 15 feet.

Man slips off tube, drowns in Willamette ALBANY (AP) — A 24year-old Albany man who slipped off an inner tube has drowned in the Willamette River. The Benton County Sheriff’s Office says the man wasn’t wearing a life vest when he got onto the inner tube at a boat ramp Sunday afternoon, went underwater and didn’t come up. Divers found his body not

there. After they married, Norma and Paul traveled the country until their sons were born. As a result of a free trip to Hawaii, Norma and her family moved to Kailua, Hawaii, where they lived for the next 28 years working and playing while watching their sons grow to manhood in the surf. After retirement, Norma and Paul moved to the White Mountains of Arizona to fish, meet new friends and relax. Finding the 7,000-foot elevation challenging to Norma’s health they moved. Next stop was Charleston, where Norma and Paul and son, Butch, built Norma’s dream house overlooking South Slough. The years passed quickly with making of lifetime friends and involvement in community activities. Due to the effects of age and health, Norma and Paul moved to Valley Springs, Calif., to be near their son, Chuck. The 5-acre farm on top of a knoll overlooking Rancho Calaveras was Norma’s last home. The family, three cats and a dog truly miss her. Sign the guestbook at www.theworldlink.com.

DILBERT

You need a vacation Forget the excuses. You need a vacation, and for more reasons other than it’s just fun to get away. Research shows that regular getaways may increase longevity by preventing heart disease. In fact, men in a nine-year study who took at least one vacation per year were almost 30 percent less likely to die from a heart-related cause compared with the men who kept their noses to the grindstone. Family vacations are one of my best childhood memories. Being together away from the normal EVERYDAY routines CHEAPSKATE of life creates a n atmosphere just right for bonding and for making memories to Mary last a Hunt lifetime. If you can manage the time, I’ve got some tips and ideas to make it happen: Be realistic about the cost. Consider the money you have first, and then design a vacation that will realistically fit within that financial boundary. If you have a family of five and $500 to spend, don’t even think about a couple of days at Disney World. Be realistic about time. Divide what you can spend by a reasonable daily budget to determine how many days you can be gone. Carefully consider all the costs, not only the admission fees and overnight accommodations. Instead of full weeks, consider day trips or a weekend vacation. Camping. If you’re careful, camping can be nearly as cheap as staying at home — provided you already have the basic equipment or can borrow it. Kids love to camp! A nice campsite costs about $15-$35 a night. Many campgrounds now require reservations, so don’t wait until the last minute to make your plans. The National Park Service website, www.nps.gov, has all the information you need about every national park in the country. Gas up the car. Road trips are an American tradition, a wonderful way to see the country and an inexpensive vacation alternative for families with young children. Even if your goal is to get somewhere and stay there, make the drive itself a special part of the vacation. Stop often. Take in every Visitor Center and historic site. When it’s time to fill up, visit GasBuddy.com or GasPriceWatch.com to find the cheapest gasoline price. Hint: Sunoco gives an immediate $.05/gallon discount at the pump with its gas card. No strings attached! Meals. Look for familyfriendly, residential-style accommodations that include a complimentary breakfast. Take full advantage of it, and then make lunch your main meal of the day in a restaurant. Pick up food in a deli or grocery store for a dinnertime picnic. Stay-at-home vacation. If your bottom line says you just don’t have the money available to leave town on vacation this year, don’t let that get you down. Take your vacation at home. Visit your own city as if you’ve never been there before. Go to the museums, theme parks — all those places that tourists visit when they come to your town, but you’ve only driven by. Check with your local Chamber of Commerce. Google your city plus “tourist.” Take day hikes. Visit all the parks within a five-mile radius of your house. Clever and creative parents can turn even a tent in the backyard into an amazing camping experience. Change all the rules for your stay-at-home vacation. Sleep in, unplug the phone, stay up really late, endure movie marathons. You can email Mary Hunt at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630.

US companies to invest $14B in Africa WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Tuesday announced $14 billion in commitments from U.S. businesses to invest in Africa, as representatives from nearly 100 American and African companies gathered in Washington to discuss ways to boost economic partnerships. During a panel discussion with CEOs, former President Bill Clinton declared that the U.S. has “only barely scratched the surface” of Africa’s economic potential. Indeed, Africa’s economy is enjoying rapid advancement. The continent is home to six of the world’s fastest-growing economies. And a decade of solid growth has created a middle class with increased spending power — 350 million

strong in 2010 by the African Development Bank’s count, up from 220 million in 2000. Other nations, most notably China, have been moving aggressively to tap into growing African markets. China surpassed the U.S. as Africa’s largest trading partner in 2009. “We also realize we have some catching up to do,” said Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor and a billionaire businessman. “We are letting Europe and China go faster than the U.S.” Barack President Obama was scheduled to address the business summit Tuesday afternoon. The American companies represented at the daylong meeting include Coca-Cola Chevron,

Company, IBM and Mastercard. Also participating in the forum was Jeff Immelt, the CEO of General Electric. During the panel moderated by Clinton, Immelt appealed to the U.S. Congress to renew the charter for the Export-Import Bank, which helps finance American exports. Some Republicans want to shutter the bank when Congress returns from recess next month, arguing that the bank’s spending is politically motivated and unnecessary. But Immelt said Tuesday that the bank signals to other countries that the U.S. government is interested in investing overseas. “The fact that we have to sit here and argue for it is just wrong,” he said.

LUDIAN, China (AP) — About 10,000 troops used pickaxes and backhoes to clear roads and dig residents from collapsed homes Tuesday after an earthquake in southwest China that killed 410 people. Groups of volunteers, meanwhile, used their bare hands. Jackson Zeng joined about two dozen classmates who headed to Yunnan province’s Ludian county, where Sunday’s 6.1-magnitude earthquake collapsed thousands of homes in an impoverished region of mountainous farmland. “I grew up around here and these are my people. I’m not sure what I can do, but I will help any way that I can,” said Zeng, a third-year student at Kunming University of Science and Technology. Zeng’s black T-shirt contrasted with the scores of green fatigue-clad troops along the main road into the quake zone. Paramilitary personnel with a backhoe and other heavy equipment pushed earth from a stretch of road affected by a landslide, while Zeng and other students used their hands to push rocks over a cliff. Many hundreds of volunteers have converged on the nearby city of Zhaotong en route to the quake-hit areas — a typical phenomenon during disasters in China. Many came empty-handed, but some were formed into company-sponsored units complete with uniforms and their own relief aid to distribute. The government also has sent thousands of tents, quilts, sleeping bags and

The second confirmed case in Nigeria is a doctor who treated Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian-American man who died July 25 days after arriving in Nigeria from Liberia, said Nigerian Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu. Three others who also treated Sawyer now show symptoms of Ebola and their test results are pending, he said. Authorities are trying to trace and quarantine others in Lagos, sub-Saharan Africa’s

Quake hits South Africa, 1 killed JOHANNESBURG (AP) — An earthquake shook buildings in Johannesburg and surrounding areas in South Africa’s most populous province on Tuesday, killing one person and injuring at least 17 at mining operations near the epicenter. The magnitude-5.3 quake was centered in Orkney 105 miles southwest of Johannesburg, the U.S. Geological Survey said. One man died when a wall of a disused mining building fell on him, said Werner Vermaak, a spokesman for emergency responders working in the Orkney area, a center of gold-mining operations. Mine managers ordered the evacuation of workers from shafts, Vermaak said.

Jury should know execution method FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — The Guantanamo detainee accused of orchestrating the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Yemen says his trial jury should know how he would be executed if he’s sentenced to death. An attorney for Abd al Rahim al-Nashiri made the argument Tuesday at a pretrial hearing in Cuba. A video feed of the proceeding was shown at Fort Meade, near Baltimore. Defense attorney Richard Kammen asked the military judge to order the secretary of defense to publish the execution protocols it would use. He says jurors should know if al-Nashiri would die by lethal injection, hanging or some other method.

Wealth gap is contributing to a slower recovery WASHINGTON (AP) — Economists have long argued that a rising wealth gap has complicated the U.S. rebound from the Great Recession. Now, an analysis by the rating agency Standard & Poor’s lends its weight to the argument: The widening gap between the wealthiest Americans and everyone else has made the economy more prone to boom-bust cycles and slowed the 5-year-old recovery from the recession. Economic disparities appear to be reaching extremes that “need to be watched because they’re damaging to growth,” said Beth Ann Bovino, chief U.S. economist at S&P.

AFGHAN ‘Insider attacks’ had slowed down Continued from Page A1 want to see Afghanistan have strong institutions,” Karzai said in a statement. Qargha is known as “Sandhurst in the sand”— referring to the famed British military academy — as British forces oversaw building the officer school and its training program. In a statement, the British Defense Ministry said it was investigating the incident and that “it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.” After the shooting, a soldier in a NATO convoy leaving Camp Qargha fired his pistol in an apparent warning shot in the vicinity of Associated Press journalists and pedestrians nearby.

No one was wounded. The Qargha shooting comes as so-called “insider attacks” — incidents in which Afghan security turn on their NATO partners — largely dropped last year. In 2013, there were 16 deaths in 10 separate attacks. In 2012, such attacks killed 53 coalition troops in 38 separate attacks. Such “insider attacks” are sometimes claimed by the Taliban insurgency as proof of their infiltration. Others are attributed to personal disputes or resentment by Afghans who have soured on the continued international presence in their country more than a dozen years after the fall of the Taliban’s ultraconservative Islamic regime. Foreign aid workers, contractors and other civilians in Afghanistan are increasingly becoming targets of violence as the U.S.-led military coalition continues a withdrawal to be complete

Civilians increasingly find themselves under fire as the 2001 U.S.-led war draws to a close, as Afghan forces take the lead in operations targeting the Taliban. The civilian death toll in the war in Afghanistan rose 17 percent for the first half of this year, the United Nations reported in July. The U.N. said 1,564 civilians were killed from January through June, compared with 1,342 in the first six months of 2013. Insurgents were responsible for 74 percent of the casualties, the U.N. said, pro-government while forces were responsible for 9 percent, government forces 8 percent and foreign troops just 1 percent.

Babe Ruth

All-stars learn at regional ■ The South Coast’s 13-year-old players have a bright future

THE WORLD The South Coast’s 13-year-old Babe Ruth all-stars left the Pacific Northwest Regionals in Montana with their heads held high and excitement for next year. The squad won one of its four games at Helena, Mont., which wasn’t good enough to reach the semifinals. But two of the losses were close. “It was a great experience for the boys, I think, just knowing they really weren’t outgunned there,” coach Doug Woolsey said. “They just didn’t get the breaks. They came away knowing they can play with anybody.” South Coast won its opening game against Calgary, Canada, with a strong effort through the lineup, Woolsey said. “Everybody seemed to be hitting or getting a walk for the most part,” Woolsey said. Jake Simmons went 3-for-4 and Cory Stover, Griffin Lavigne and Corbin White each had two hits. White and Kyle Barnes pitched the bulk of the game, with Gabe Simington finishing it off. “It was a pretty good outing for the group,” But the second game Friday didn’t end as well, with SedroWooley of Washington edging South Coast 4-2. The highlights in the game were the pitching of Simington and the defense at second base of Grant Woolsey, Doug Woolsey said. “(Simington) pitched an outstanding five innings in that game,” Doug Woolsey said. “He had us in the lead. We gave up two runs in the seventh.” Meanwhile, Grant Woolsey had seven assists on grounders hit to him at second in the first six innings and also was in on two plays at second base. “The umpire came up to me and said he was a magnet,” Doug Woolsey said. The only game that wasn’t close was the 8 a.m. Saturday game against Longview, Wash. “(We had) a little hangover from the tough loss,” Doug Woolsey said of the game against Sedro-Wooley. “If we had won that, the momentum would really have been rolling with us.” Longview scored three runs in both the first and second innings and never looked back. “We just were kind of flat in that game as a whole,” Doug Woolsey said. But South Coast bounced back against Kalispell, Mont., the host team. South Coast led most of the way, but gave up a couple of runs late. In the bottom of the seventh, South Coast got the potential tying run to third base, but couldn’t push it across. “We were ahead most of the game,” Doug Woolsey said. “The boys knew where they stood at that point (unable to make the semifinals). It was tough for them to stay on top.” The local squad chose to stay in Montana to see the action on the tournament’s final day. “We stayed and watched the championship game,” Woolsey said. “There wasn’t anybody there we couldn’t play with.” That gives the squad excitement for next year, when all of the players could be on the 14-yearold all-star team after the regular Babe Ruth season. “It was a great stepping stone for them,” Woolsey said. “Now they’ve got a little taste. Let’s go back next year. We know we can do better. We know the type of mentality we need every game to be competitive.” Woolsey said he was happy that the players were able to get over their loss quickly and keep a love for the game. “They were playing Wiffle ball in the parking lot on Sunday afternoon after the games were over,” he said. “That was a good sign for me.” The squad has a lot to be proud of, including its Southern Oregon state title. “They worked their tails off,” Woolsey said. “They did great.”

PGA gives club pros shot at big time Tiger Woods might not be able to play in the year’s final major this week at Valhalla ■

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Brian Norman can be excused for not getting all worked up over whether Tiger Woods plays in the PGA Championship. Norman qualified for his first major at age 32. He’s going to have the time of his life, with or without Woods. “Hitting balls next to some of the best players in the world is awesome,” said Norman, one of 20 club professionals who earned a spot in the final major of the year. Norman was especially giddy Monday after finishing up a practice round at Valhalla Golf Club. This is a homecoming for the native of Henderson, Kentucky, and he actually attended the last PGA Championship at this course back in 2000, when Woods beat Bob May in a playoff for the third in what would become four straight major championships. “It was an incredible atmosphere,” Norman recalled. When Woods won the Masters the following April, they called it the Tiger Slam.

This time around, it’s not even known if there will be a Tiger in the field. About four months removed from back surgery, Woods reinjured himself last weekend after playing a shot off an awkward lie at the Bridgestone Invitational. His caddie, Joe LaCava, went through his normal Monday routine, walking the entire golf course and jotting notes in his yardage book. But there was no sign of Woods. Even if he does turn up, it seems unlikely he would be able to make any sort of serious run at that longdelayed 15th major title, considering he’s barely played at all this year — and not very well when he does. “I’m optimistic,” LaCava said after he finished charting the layout about 20 miles east of downtown Louisville. “I’m hoping he plays. So I’m just doing whatever work I would normally do.” Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, said Monday was too early for doctors to decide whether Woods could or even should try to play this week. The PGA of America said that Woods would not have his previously scheduled news conference Tuesday morning, but provided no other details. “Obviously, I feel bad for him,” Rory McIlroy, the world’s top-ranked player, told the BBC. “The game of golf really needs Tiger. He’s had a few withdrawals the past couple of years.

I think the first thing is just to get fit and 100 percent healthy, even if that means taking the year off and coming back next year ready to play golf.” Woods had back surgery March 31 to alleviate the pain from a pinched nerve. Since returning, he failed to make the cut in his first tournament, had his worst 72-hole finish in a major at the British Open, and didn’t even make it to the finish at Firestone. He was last seen riding off the course in a cart, struggling to even remove his shoes before LaCava drove him to the airport for a flight back to Florida to be evaluated. If Woods doesn’t play the PGA Championship, his season would be over. Woods has to win the final major of the year to qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs. He would also need to win to clinch a spot on the Ryder Cup team. And by the sound of U.S. captain Tom Watson, he would have to play at Valhalla to even merit consideration as a wild-card selection. “Tiger would be a great addition to our team,” Watson told SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio. “I’ve said all along, I would pick Tiger Woods if he’s healthy and playing well. This doesn’t bode well right now. I just hope that maybe it’s just an isolated problem that he can turn around and possibly play this week at the PGA.”

Mariota keeps Ducks’ optimism level high BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

EUGENE — Oregon opened fall camp on Monday as the early favorite in the Pac-12. There’s good reason: Quarterback Marcus Mariota is back. Mariota averaged nearly 282 yards passing per game and threw for 31 touchdowns with only four interceptions last season. He also rushed for 715 yards and nine scores. His 4,380 yards of total offense set a school record. There was speculation last season that he’d jump to opportunities in the NFL, but Mariota announced early on that he was sticking with the Ducks. On Monday, Mariota said his decision didn’t have all that much to do with “unfinished business” after Oregon lost two games last season to fall out of national championship contention. “For me I wanted to come back and get my degree, come back and enjoy another year with the guys and experience college for another year,” he said. Experiencing college for another year for

The Associated Press

Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota talks about the start of the new season on the first day of practice Monday. Mariota means taking classes in — seriously — yoga and golf. The junior quarterback already has his degree in general science, wrapping up his studies in three years. In large part because of Mariota’s return, Oregon has been picked in the annual poll of

reporters who cover the conference to finish this season atop the Pac-12 North and claim the league’s championship. Oregon was ranked No. 4 in the preseason Amway coaches poll. The AP Top 25 will be released Aug. 17. Mariota was a Heisman contender last season before struggling with a left knee injury. The Ducks had climbed to No. 2 in the AP rankings and were seemingly on course for a national championship bid. Then came Stanford. It turns out Mariota had partially torn the medial collateral ligament in his left knee against UCLA the week before and the Cardinal beat the Ducks 26-20. The Ducks rebounded to beat Utah, but then fell 42-16 to the fired-up Arizona Wildcats in Tucson. The loss dropped Oregon to No. 12 and skewered the Ducks’ chances of a national championship bid. The Cardinal went on to claim the Pac-12 North and beat Arizona State in the league championship to earn a spot in the Rose Bowl. SEE DUCKS | B3

Beavers boast QB security with Mannion back BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

Sean Mannion went into last year’s fall camp uncertain whether he would be the starter. This season, the uncertainty centers on who will emerge as his go-to receiver. Mannion set a Pac-12 season record for yards passing with 4,662 and threw an Oregon Staterecord 37 touchdown passes, third-most for a single season in conference history. The fifth-year senior has 10,436 career yards passing and could break Matt Barkley’s Pac-12 record of 12,274 before the end of the season. A drop-back passer who fits perfectly into coach Mike Riley’s pro-style offense, Mannion is on the preseason watch lists for a slew of honors, including the Walter Camp, Davey O’Brien and Maxwell awards. But he’ll need a new favorite target now that Brandin Cooks has moved on to the New Orleans Saints. Cooks won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top wide receiver. As a junior last season, he

He also broke the school record with 16 touchdown receptions. The heir apparent appears to be Richard Mullaney, who caught 52 passes for 788 yards and three touchdowns as a sophomore last season. Sophomore Victor Bolden is expected to slide into Cooks’ spot at flanker, and redshirt freshman Hunter Jarmon could also see

playing time. “I think that we’ve got quite a few guys with capabilities. And frankly, it’s gonna be a matter of who plays the best in camp,” Riley said last week in a conference call with reporters who cover the team. “A lot of them haven’t played very much, so they gotta come fast and make plays in camp and become reliable.” Oregon State opened fall camp

on Monday. Last season, the Beavers finished 7-6, capping off the year with a 38-23 victory over Boise State in the Hawaii Bowl. This season opens at home on Aug. 30 against Big Sky opponent Portland State. Mannion competed for the starter’s job in camp last season with Cody Vaz, although it became quickly apparent that Mannion would get Riley’s nod. He stumbled at the start when the Beavers lost at home to lowerdivision Eastern Washington in the opener, but rebounded to lead Oregon State to six straight wins. Mannion was considered a Heisman hopeful until a fivegame losing streak closed out Oregon State’s regular season. There were questions following the season about whether Mannion would turn pro like Cooks. The 6-foot-5 quarterback said he consulted the NFL Draft Advisory Board and was projected as a third-round selection. Mannion, who has his degree in liberal studies, decided to stick with the Beavers, and spent the summer making himself better. SEE BEAVERS | B3

Bengals give QB Dalton a big extension

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Caleb Joseph homered and drove in three runs, J.J. Hardy had four hits and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Washington Nationals 7-3 on Monday night in a duel between neighboring first-place teams. Nick Markakis homered for the Orioles, who trailed 31 before rallying for their eighth win in 11 games. Hardy and Ryan Flaherty opened the seventh with successive doubles off Tanner Roark (11-7) to tie it at 3. Delmon Young followed with an RBI single — making him 9-for-17 as a pinch-hitter this season — and Adam Jones capped the uprising with a run-scoring single. The game was a makeup of a rainout on July 8. A sellout crowd of 42,181 — many of them wearing Oriole orange — showed up to watch teams located just 38 miles apart on I-295. Indians 7, Reds 1: Corey Kluber allowed one run in 7 1-3 innings to win his fifth straight decision and lead the Cleveland Indians over Cincinnati. Kluber (12-6), who hasn’t lost since June 30, held the Reds to six hits, struck out seven and walked two. Lonnie Chisenhall hit a three-run homer in the fourth off Alfredo Simon (12-7).

Baltimore’s Caleb Joseph is greeted by third base coach Bobby Dickerson as he rounds the bases after his home run during the third inning Monday. Albert Pujols had RBI doubles in a four-run first inning, and the Los Angeles Angels opened the Freeway Series with a 5-0 victory over the Dodgers. Josh Hamilton homered in the sixth for the Angels, who improved the majors’ second-best record to 67-44 with their seventh win in 10 games. Richards (12-4) was dominant in his first nine-inning complete game, striking out nine and retiring 15 of 16 in the middle innings with a fastball regularly hitting 98 mph.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Yankees 2, Tigers 1: Brandon McCarthy won his fourth start in a row with a gritty effort, and the New York Yankees took the first of three straight matchups against Detroit’s Cy Young Award winners, beating Max Scherzer and the Tigers. Brian McCann hit an RBI single and Jacoby Ellsbury

had a sacrifice fly in the third inning. Center fielder Ezequiel Carrera made a sensational catch on Ellsbury’s deep drive with the bases loaded. McCarthy (4-0) allowed five hits and an unearned run in 5 2-3 innings. The Yankees have won each of his five starts since being acquired from Arizona. Scherzer (13-4) gave up nine hits over seven innings in losing for the first time since June 17, a span of eight starts. White Sox 5, Rangers 3, 7 innings: Tyler Flowers homered and drove in three runs and Jose Abreu had two hits and two RBIs to lead the Chicago White Sox to a rainshortened victory over Texas. The game was called in the bottom of the seventh inning following a 57-minute delay. Flowers went 3-for-3 and was a double shy of a cycle.

He scored two runs as the White Sox snapped a twogame losing streak. Athletics 3, Rays 2, 10 innings: The Athletics’ Derek Norris singled up the middle to beat Tampa Bay with two outs and the bases loaded in the 10th inning against former Oakland closer Grant Balfour. The AL West-leading A’s remained one game ahead of the Los Angeles Angels and avoided losing consecutive home games for just the second time this season.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Giants 4, Mets 3: Pablo Sandoval drove in three runs and got three hits, including an RBI double with two outs in the ninth inning that sent the San Francisco Giants over the New York Mets. The Giants took three of four at Citi Field. The Mets lost a home series for the first time since June 10-12 against Milwaukee.

DEA officials arrest Bosch, ARod’s cousin MIAMI (AP) — A cousin of Alex Rodriguez who injected the baseball star with steroids and a onetime clinic owner accused of providing the performance-enhancing drugs to several players have been arrested in connection with a drug conspiracy, authorities said today. Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Mia Ro said Yuri Sucart was among nine people arrested. Also arrested was former clinic owner Anthony Bosch, who was charged today with conspiracy to distribute steroids, according to court records. The documents do not specify whether the charges are directly related to the Major League Baseball scandal. It was not immediately clear what

Sucart had been charged with. Sucart was banned from the Yankees clubhouse, charter flights, bus and other team-related activities by Major League Baseball in 2009 after Rodriguez admitted he used steroids while with Texas from 2000 to 2003, saying Sucart obtained and injected the drugs for him. Court documents say that from October 2008 through December 2012, Bosch willfully conspired to distribute the anabolic steroid testosterone. Bosch surrendered Tuesday morning, and eight other people also have been arrested, including Sucart, Ro said. A Miami New Times report from January 2013, which sparked MLB’s investigation, said Rodriguez had

bought human growth hormone and other substances from 2009 to 2012 from Bosch’s clinic, Biogenesis of America. The newspaper said it had obtained records detailing the purchases by Rodriguez and other ballplayers. Fourteen players associated with the Coral Gables clinic were disciplined last year by MLB, including a season-long 2014 suspension imposed on Rodriguez. MLB had sued Bosch and his clinic but withdrew the lawsuit in February. The lawsuit had accused them of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned substances. Although the lawsuit sought unspecified damages, it also provided a way for MLB to subpoena clinic records.

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals are making Andy Dalton one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league. Dalton signed a six-year extension on Monday. According to multiple re p o r ts, the deal is worth up to $115 million and will prevent Dalton playing out the final year of his rookie contract. Dalton says he is relieved to have the deal signed before the season. The deal was announced at a news conference on Monday. Dalton has passed for more than 3,000 yards in each of his three seasons. He led the Bengals to an 11-5 record and AFC North title in 2013. He set career highs with 33 touchdown passes and 20 interceptions. Despite his regular-season success, Dalton has been criticized for throwing six interceptions with only one touchdown in three postseason losses.

Packers will honor Favre during 2015 season

National team down to 14 players after cuts NEW YORK — The U.S. men’s national team has trimmed its roster to 16 players by cutting Washington’s John Wall and Bradley Beal, and Atlanta’s Paul Millsap. The Americans are off this week after training last week in Las Vegas, where Indiana All-Star Paul George was lost to a broken right leg. They will resume practice for the World Cup of Basketball on Aug. 14 in Chicago. Players remaining who hope to make the final 12man roster for Spain are Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant, Chicago’s Derrick Rose, Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving, New Orleans’ Anthony Davis, Golden State’s Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, Houston’s James Harden, Atlanta’s Kyle Korver, Sacramento’s DeMarcus Cousins, Dallas’ Chandler Parsons, Utah’s Gordon Hayward, Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan, Portland’s Damian Lillard, Denver’s Kenneth Faried, Detroit’s Andre Drummond and Brooklyn’s Mason Plumlee.

LeBron and sons help with house project AKRON, Ohio — LeBron James and his two sons are getting their hands dirty in helping to rehab a house in the NBA star’s Akron hometown. James took the controls of a backhoe Monday to help fix up a crumbling house for the family of a sixth-grader in his Wheels for Education mentoring program. His sons — LeBron Jr. and Bryce — pitched in to help remove the front steps, a retaining wall and some porch railings under the direction of reality TV show host Nicole Curtis. Work on the house will be featured later on Curtis’ show “Rehab Addict” on the HGTV network. The Akron Beacon Journal reported that work on the house in the West Hill neighborhood began Sunday. Businesses donated materials and labor for the project.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre will be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame and have his jersey retired next year. Favre writes on his official website that it will be an honor to have his name placed among others such Bart Starr, Curly Lambeau, Ray Nitschke and Vince Lombardi, to name a few. Favre says it wouldn’t be possible if not for the foresight of former general manager Ron Wolf, who he says is the greatest GM in the history of the NFL. The team planned an official announcement Monday afternoon. Favre will join by teleconference. It’s been six years since Favre ‘retired’ from the Packers, tried to return, then went on to play for the New York Jets and rival Minnesota BASEBALL Vikings.

Redskins place Rice’s son on injured reserve RICHMOND, Va. — Jerry Rice Jr. has been placed on injured reserve after tearing the labrum in his left shoulder at Washington Redskins training camp. The Redskins initially designated Rice as “waivedinjured.” He was moved to IR on Monday after clearing waivers. The Redskins replaced Rice on the roster by signing defensive lineman Jeremy Towns, an undrafted rookie from Samford. Rice was hurt last week when he fell on his shoulder while trying to catch a pass in the end zone. Rice was undrafted out of UNLV. His father played 20 NFL seasons and is in the Hall of Fame.

Phoenix Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby says the organization believes Tucker’s remorse is sincere and is convinced he will take the necessary steps to avoid such incidents in the future. Police say Tucker had a blood alcohol level of .22 after he was arrested May 10 in Scottsdale. Tucker agreed to put an interlock device on his car for 18 months, undergo substance abuse counseling, and pay fines of $2,750. He was placed on probation for up to five years.

Cain will have surgery to remove bone chips

NEW YORK — San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain will have seasonending surgery next week to remove bone chips in his right elbow. Manager Bruce Bochy said “it was inevitable” that Cain would have surgery. Bochy said after Monday’s 43 win over the New York Mets that Cain would have the operation and look forward to getting ready for spring training. The 29-year-old Cain hasn’t pitched since July 9. The three-time All-Star played catch at Citi Field on Friday to test out how he was feeling. Cain was 2-7 with a 4.18 ERA in 15 starts.

SOCCER Orlando comes up with new plan for stadium ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando’s mayor says the city is dropping eminent domain proceedings against a church that was holding up construction of a new downtown Major League Soccer stadium. Mayor Buddy Dyer announced the decision Monday. The city is instead purchasing an additional parcel of land that will allow it to move the location of the new stadium one block west of the original site, leaving Faith Deliverance Temple untouched. Church officials said last month they didn’t want to sell their property, which sat in the middle of the planned development for the $100 million stadium. The city filed eminent domain proceedings in May. It had offered the church as much as $4 million for its land, but it was rejected. Orlando City Soccer Club plans to open the stadium in 2016.

Sports Homegown Game ends in scoreless tie

The Associated Press

Portland Timbers fans celebrate a win against Seattle in a 2013 Major League Soccer game in Portland.

Portland embraces role as Soccer City PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Legend has it that Portland laid claim to the title “Soccer City USA” back in 1975 when the Timbers played their first NASL season. The nickname was later captured on an expansive banner displayed during a visit by Pele. Nearly 40 years later, the city is primed to solidify the moniker it hosts Major League Soccer’s All-Star game. The match Wednesday night will pit MLS players from across the league against Bundesliga power Bayern Munich. Portland’s affection for the Beautiful Game has grown in the last four decades — pushed also by the success of the University of Portland’s soccer program — but it has exploded since the Timbers made the jump to MLS in 2011. “All I know is that once the flame started, it kept building and building,” Timbers owner Merritt Paulson said, joking that he has given up trying to explain the phenomenon. “It’s something unique in and of itself, and bar none one of the best professional sports atmospheres, I believe, in North America. And the most authentic.” In awarding Portland and Vancouver franchises, MLS wisely capitalized on the ready-made three-way Cascadia Cup rivalry with the Seattle Sounders that stemmed from the North American Soccer League days. Early supporters passed their love of the teams to the next generation, creating a burgeoning

fan base. But the league never could have anticipated the surge that resulted in the game’s popularity in the Pacific Northwest, with young urbanites jumping aboard and lending a kind of hipster-cool vibe to being a supporter. The Timbers also tapped into the city’s fierce civic pride, a hallmark of the Portland Trail Blazers’ fan base since the team won the NBA championship in 1977. The result? The Timbers have 10,000 fans on the waiting list to buy season tickets. Portland has sold out 62 regular-season matches — all of its home games since joining MLS. “Honestly, the people here love to come out at support their town and their team,” said John Nyen, a Timbers supporter and a freelance writer who has covered the team. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that people would embrace the Timbers like they have.” So even though Providence Park is more intimate with room for just about 20,000 fans, the decision to bring the All-Star game to soccer-crazy Portland was understandable. The match has long been a sellout and secondary market tickets were going for as much as $1,500. “One of the great stories in Major League Soccer over the last number of years has been the enormous fan passion, civic support and stadium atmosphere in Portland,” MLS Commissioner Don Garber said earlier this year. “We

look forward to showcasing this phenomenon to the rest of the world.” There’s good reason for MLS to promote the success that Portland has had. Major League Soccer is in the midst of its 19th season. While the league has shown steady growth — it is preparing to expand to 24 teams in the coming years — it remains somewhat of a feeder league with young American prodigies still leaving for the fame and lucrative contracts offered in Europe. But there are signs of a shift, including the return of such stars as Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley, new television contracts and the interest generated by the success of the men’s national team at the World Cup this summer. Dempsey, who plays for the Sounders, and Bradley, a midfielder for Toronto FC, are among the players on the MLS All-Star team. Other players from the U.S. World Cup team on the All-Star roster include Kyle Beckerman of Real Salt Lake and Graham Zusi of Sporting Kansas City. L.A. Galaxy forward Landon Donovan, left off the World Cup roster, is making his record 14th All-Star appearance. The Timbers will be represented by Will Johnson and Diego Valeri. Bayern Munich, which won five titles last year, features six players on its travel roster from the World Cup champion German national team.

young receivers and fellow quarterbacks. “I think the course that he took when he looked into coming out put him on the radar as far as people talking more about him, whether it was to be in the NFL or you

folks in the media,” Riley said. “But I think the biggest factor is he’s a good player with a lot of good numbers, so he belongs in any conversation about quarterbacking in this country right now.”

PORTLAND — Steven Evans got the biggest cheers Monday night at the inaugural MLS Homegrown Game. Evans grew up in Portland and was on the Timbers’ U23 team before playing at the University of Portland. After college, he signed with the Timbers as the team’s second homegrown player. He served as captain of the group of players who, like him, came from the MLS program to develop and keep young talent. They played the Timbers U23 team to a 00 draw. The event, sponsored by Chipotle, was part of the MLS All-Star festivities. The All-Star game is scheduled for Wednesday night at Portland’s downtown Providence Park. The homegrown players had just 24 hours and a walkthrough to prepare. But the idea was to give the league’s young stars a showcase. “It was a tough thing to do, because I played with some of them (the Timbers).So I had to keep that in mind and just look

for the white jerseys tonight,” said Evans, who is currently on loan to the Sacramento Republic of the USL. Portland’s Andy Thoma challenged homegrown goalkeeper Jon Kempin of Sporting KC in the 52nd minute but the shot went wide right. Miguel Aguilar looked to have another good shot at beating Kempin in the 61st minute, but it also sailed wide. Kempin, who played the second half, was named MVP of the match. “It was a lot of fun,” said Kempin, a member of the U.S. national U20 team. “It’s always good to get 45 minutes and it turned out to be a competitive match.” The Timbers’ U23 team just wrapped up its PDL season with a 5-4-5 record. The team has produced 16 players who have gone on to MLS clubs, including Evans. Homegrown players can be signed to a professional contract to the team that developed them without having to go through the draft process.

DUCKS

after a good spring, Lockie is up for the challenge. “He needs to trust himself a little bit more, believe in himself a little bit more,” Helfrich said. Like Mariota, center Hroniss Grasu and cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu also decided to return to the Ducks for another season. Running back De’Anthony Thomas and cornerback Terrance Mitchell decided to leave the team early for the NFL draft. Helfrich, who grew up in Coos Bay and played for Marshfield High School, is embarking on his second year as head coach after his promotion from offensive coordinator when Chip Kelly made the leap to the Philadelphia Eagles. While many of the players said last season’s losses have them eager to get back on the field, Helfrich said last year doesn’t change what the Ducks are doing this year. “As long as our guys believe in our process and trust our process, everything will fall into place,” he said.

From Page B1 After wrapping up the regular season with a 36-35 victory over Oregon State in the Civil War, the Ducks beat Texas 30-7 in the Alamo Bowl to finish 11-2 and ranked No. 10. “Injuries happen,” Mariota said on Monday. “We’re not going to let my knee be an excuse for what happened last year. All we can do is try to learn from it and try to get better.” Going into fall camp, Jeff Lockie appears most likely to earn the job as Mariota’s backup. Jake Rodrigues and Damion Hobbs transferred, so the team has sophomores Lokie, Taylor Alie and promising incoming freshman Morgan Mahalak competing for second-team reps. Lockie came off the bench in nine games last season, completing eight of 13 passes with an interception and no touchdowns. Coach Mark Helfrich said he believes that

When it comes to summer entertaining, it’s not hard to impress. But it’s easy to get yourself in over your head trying to do so. Which is why I have a few rules about summer gatherings. About all entertaining, actually. But this menu is better suited to summer, so we’ll call it that. My rules are thus: ■ I don’t bake. Not even seasonally appropriate berry pies, or cupcakes or muffins or quick breads. Baking is a fall and winter activity. In summer, that’s what bakeries are made for. ■ I don’t fuss with individual cocktails. If I can’t make it by the pitcher or in a blender, or if it doesn’t pour directly from a bottle into your glass or your mouth, it doesn’t get served. ■ I make judicious use of the grill. It’s kind of a nobrainer, but still. There’s no cleanup! ■ I don’t worry about mains and starters and sides and such. I make what I feel like making. I put it out. You

eat it. Done. If that means we nibble on five starters and drink a bunch of wine, that works. If it means we graze over several slabs of juicy meat off the grill while tearing hunks of baguette to sop the juices, that works, too. ■ Anything that can be prepped ahead should be prepped ahead. A summer gathering is for chilling out, not getting hot and bothered in the kitchen. To show you how it all looks in action, I’ve recreated a recent menu I assembled — mostly on the fly — when I found out a bunch of family was coming over on a toasty Saturday afternoon. It was simple, delicious, effortless and everyone left satisfied. Depending on the size of your crowd, add some chips, hummus or guacamole, maybe a hunk of cheese and some fruit, and you’re good.

It’s tomato season On-the-vine tomatoes go on grill for a stunning appetizer

Celebrate the season with salad BY SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

BY ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

Often, the best dishes are the simplest. A common feeling among chefs is that if you use the best-quality ingredients and treat them lightly, you will be rewarded. I couldn’t agree more. This is illustrated perfectly by this recipe for grilled tomatoes on the vine with burrata. Tomatoes with mozzarella is one of my favorite combinations, and I love it even when the tomatoes are less than perfect and the mozzarella is a little bland. But take a bunch of cherry tomatoes on the vine, grill them and serve them with burrata and some grilled bread and you’ve got an amazing dish! The hardest part of this recipe is treating the fragile tomatoes carefully so that they don’t fall off the vine. You want to brush or rub them with a little olive oil to protect them, then season them lightly with kosher salt. Place the tomatoes vine side up on the cooking grate and do not turn them. The heat of the grill will intensify the natural juices and sugars, making the sweet tomatoes even more flavorful. The warm tomatoes can be served immediately with the burrata, a touch of extravirgin olive oil, and a bit of salt and pepper. I like to serve this as a shared plate with grilled ciabatta bread. Smear a little burrata on the ciabatta and top with a grill-roasted tomato. You can either spread the tomato, breaking the skin and smoothing out the juice on top of the cheese and olive oil, or keep it whole. Personally, I like to smear the two together, making a soft, rich juicy bite!

Cheese stuffed tomatoes.

Holding on to tomato season with a spicy-sweet jam BY ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

Slice ‘em and salt ‘em. That’s really all a seasonally delicious tomato needs. Though if you really want to gussy it up, you could add a bit of pepper, a splash of olive oil, maybe a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar. Just enough of each to highlight the sweetly acidic flavor of the juicy tomato flesh. Still, summer tends to bring an abundance of tomatoes, and after a while we find ourselves hankering for something with a little more oomph. And a salad just isn’t cutting it. So we couldn’t help but dream up a few other ways to play to a tomato’s strengths. We started by turning them into a spicy-sweet jam that is a perfect accompaniment to GRILLED TOMATOES cheeses and cured meats.

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro 4 large tomatoes Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. In a medium skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic and coriander. Cook for 5 minutes, or just until tender. Stir in the breadcrumbs, cheese, salt, pepper and cilantro. 1 Cut a ⁄2 inch slice off the top of each tomato.

At the peak of ripeness, an in-season tomato is one of the things that makes life worth living. Happily, that season is upon us. And this recipe is my ode to that summer tomato. All kinds of tomatoes are at the best just now, big and small, beefsteak and cherry. At the base of this salad are sliced beefsteak tomatoes, which are topped with chopped small tomatoes and drizzled with a tomato-based vinaigrette. Given that this is an essence-of-tomato salad, it’s crucial that all of the tomatoes in the line-up be as ripe as possible. The best place to find them is at a farm stand or farmers market. How do you know if a tomato is ripe, ripe, ripe? Smell the stem end; its perfume should fairly shout, “Tomato!” And once you get them home, do not put them in the fridge. It will kill both flavor and texture. You also can heighten that flavor by pre-salting your tomatoes and letting them drain for 15 to 20 minutes, as I have done here. The salt not only seasons them, but also pulls out water, thereby contheir centrating tomato-ness. I’ve teamed up the tomatoes with one of their best friends, an avocado, the creaminess of which contrasts beautifully with the tomato’s acidity. Come to think of it, tomatoes have many best friends. Certainly, there’s not a fresh herb that doesn’t play nicely with tomatoes. So if you don’t have mint in the house, feel free to substitute basil, cilantro, chives, oregano, dill, parsley, tarragon or any other fresh green herb. I took the dressing in an Asian direction, adding ginger, soy sauce and rice vinegar to a small chopped tomato. Because the chopped tomato adds so much body to the dressing, you can cut back on the usual amount of oil without any problem. The dressing still seems rich. SEE SALAD | C2

Cuisine SALAD My ode to tomatoes Continued from Page C1 Topping the salad are some thinly-sliced serrano chilies, which provide a jolt of heat to counterbalance the tomato’s sweetness. Obviously, it you worry that they might be too hot, just leave them out. The final touch? Some chopped peanuts for crunch. And that’s my ode to tomatoes.

Declarer takes East’s king with his ace and attacks diamonds. North added one point for his decent five-card diamond suit and raised to three no-trump. South starts with only five top tricks: two spades (given the first trick) and three clubs. However, four more winners are readily available from the diamonds. So, if East has the diamond ace, the contract is guaranteed. If West has that ace, maybe he will not find a heart shift; or if he does, it will not prove lethal. Here, though, as you can see, if West leads the heart jack, then when he gets in with his diamond ace, the contract can be defeated. But how does West know to lead a heart rather than a club? West should duck the first diamond to get some help from his partner. East should play first the two to show an odd number. But on the second round, he could play either the eight or the three. By following suit with the eight, the higher card, East is expressing interest in the higher-ranking of hearts and clubs, the two unplayed suits. This points West in the right direction — if he is watching.
