A different kind of kickoff

BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

COOS BAY — One half of the next high school football season will already be in the books at North Bend Vic Adams Field, on Friday night, when another kind of kick-off will take place.

United Way of Southwestern Oregon is using the occasion of the Bulldogs’ first football game Friday to launch its annual “Give Where You Live” fundraising campaign.

Executive Director Bill Harsh says the high school football game environment is the perfect place to

United Way of Southwestern Oregon is launching their 2014-2015 campaign at North Bend on Friday night kick things off.

“You know, it’s great,” Harsh said. “There is a lot of energy at the game, and we get the word out to a lot of people.”

Two years ago, he said, the program rounded up about $199,000.

This year they are looking to hit the end zone with $200,000.

The campaign’s theme is “Give Where You Live,” to help remind people that money raised in Coos

and Curry counties stays here helping local people. To stress that, one point they are trying to keep hitting is that, for every dollar donated, 99 cents stays in the local community.

The money also gets spread around the community, to help in a variety of ways.

“You are not just giving to one program, you are helping many to make our community stronger and

more caring with just one gift,” Harsh added. “We have 20 member agencies providing a little over 50 servers in the community.”

Among the programs supported are the Women’s Safety & Resource Service, Salvation Army services, food and shelter programs for the homeless and hungry, senior nutrition and health programs, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and programs for adults with mental and

physical disabilities.United Way also is known locally for its community service projects, including the Day of Caring held each spring that helps seniors and persons with disabilities by performing yard and household chores individuals can’t do themselves.There is also a Kids’Coats and Shoes program to help needy local elementary school children.

So, Harsh said, the local United Way is asking businesses, employee groups, professionals and individuals to contribute to the effort.

Alaskans trained as secret agents

BY ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press

Democrats outnumber Republicans in Oregon, but the party has struggled to get some supporters to cast a ballot in the midterm elections.

“Right now, Republicans seem to be interested in the election

WASHINGTON — Fearing a Russian invasion and occupation of Alaska, the U.S. government in the early Cold War years recruited and trained fishermen, bush pilots, trappers and other private citizens across Alaska for a covert network to feed wartime intelligence to the military, newly declassified Air Force and FBI documents show.

Invasion of Alaska? Yes. It seemed like a real possibility in 1950.

“The military believes that it would be an airborne invasion involving bombing and the dropping of paratroopers,” one FBI memo said. The most likely targets were thought to be Nome, Fairbanks, Anchorage and Seward.

So FBI director J. Edgar Hoover teamed up on a highly classified project, code-named “Washtub,” with the newly created Air Force Office of Special Investigations, headed by Hoover protege and former FBI official Joseph F. Carroll.

The secret plan was to have citizen-agents in key locations in Alaska ready to hide from the invaders of what was then only a U.S. territory. The citizen-agents would find their way to survival caches of food, cold-weather gear, message-coding material and radios. In hiding they would transmit word of enemy movements.

This was not civil defense of the sort that became common later in the Cold War as Americans built their own bomb shelters. This was an extraordinary enlistment of civilians as intelligence operatives on U.S. soil.

This account of the “Washtub” project is based on hundreds of pages of formerly secret documents. The heavily censored records were provided to The by the Press Associated Government Attic, a website that publishes government documents it obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. The Russians never invaded, of course.

So the covert cadre of “staybehind agents,” as they were known, was never activated to colwartime lect and report information from backwoods bunkers. It was an assignment that federal officials acknowledged (to each other, if not to the new agents) was highly dangerous, given that the Soviet Union’s military doctrine called for the elimination of local resistance in occupied territory.

Will low turnout plague November election?

INSIDE

SALEM — Oregon’s voter participation rate hit a near record low for the modern era in the May primary. That begs the question: Why? Did voters sit out because there weren’t many high-profile races, something that’s naturally fixed in a general election? Or are they turned off from politics and uninterested in engaging?

The answer, and the likelihood that the campaigns can motivate people who agree with them, has implications in any of the races that have the potential to be close this November.

Those include ballot measures to legalize pot and label genetically engineered food; top-of-the-ticket races for governor and U.S. Senate; and especially the much lower profile state legislative races that will determine control of the state Capitol.

Just 36 percent of registered voters turned in a ballot in May, the lowest participation rate for a primary since Oregon eliminated polling places in 2000 and the second-lowest since 1960. By contrast, 42 percent of voters participated four years earlier.

“There’s a lot of time spent trying to model and profile voters,” said Len Bergstein a political consultant who has worked on ballot measure campaigns. “You model who’s likely to come out for these various issues, and then what other

Police reports . . . . A2 40 Stories . . . . . . . A2 South Coast. . . . . . A3 Opinion. . . . . . . . . . A4

issues are they likely to vote on.”

Oregon has historically had among the highest voter turnout rates in the country, but the state this year is mirroring a national downward trend in participation.

Campaign experts attribute the low participation in May in part to a boring election season. Aside from a marginally competitive Republican primary for U.S. Senate, there were no high-profile statewide races nudge voters to fill out their ballots. There were fewer television ads that remind voters it’s election season, and the campaigns didn’t have the aggressive statewide field operations to get their supporters to participate.

“Getting voters to realize that there’s an election going on is part of the challenge,” said Stacey Dycus, a Democratic political consultant who’s worked on ballot measure and candidate campaigns.

The general election, by contrast, has plenty to get people excited.

The races for governor and Senate have the potential to be competitive. Ballot measures on marijuana legalization and labeling requirements for genetically modified crops both have the potential to motivate on-again, off-again voters. So does a referendum that would grant driving privileges to people in the country illegally.

The pot and labeling ballot measure campaigns look to be well funded, which means they’ll have the cash for television ads and expensive get-out-the-vote

5 things to know about Oregon’s 2014 elections SALEM (AP) — By the time Oregonians cast their ballots, the issues and candidates will be well-known.

Gov. John Kitzhaber’s cowboy boots and Senate candidate Monica Wehby’s surgeon scrubs will be all over television. But here are five things you might now know about the upcoming election:

Under-the-radar ballot measure Oregon’s constitution says a single person can’t hold a position in more than one branch of government. The governor can’t be a legislator. The Senate president can’t sit on the Supreme Court.

These separation of powers requirements, however, have led to some interesting consequences. Judges can teach at the efforts.

Of course, television can be a double-edged sword. Effective ads can make an emotional connection with voters, Dycus said. But relentless negative advertising — as has already begun in the Senate race — can turn off voters who are fruswith politics or trated unenthusiastic about choosing

private Willamette University law school, but not the University of Oregon law school, which is an arm of the executive branch. They can’t serve for pay in the National Guard.

Measure 87 would ease up on the separation of powers, allowing state judges to serve in the Guard or teach at a public university.

The measure was put on the ballot by state lawmakers, not signature-collecting petitioners, and it’s received very little publicity.

Republicans and Democrats agree on something Another ballot measure is getting much more attention, in large part because it has monSEE OREGON | A8

Beachcombing

BY GAIL ELBER For The World

Seeing what a high tide has left on shore never gets old for tourists and locals alike. After spending time in the sea, junk transforms into cryptic messages from beyond the horizon.

How long has that glass float been circling the Pacific? How did this light bulb survive in the surf? Who is missing a shoe, and is he or she OK? The 2011 Fukushima tsunami prompted concern that a wave of debris would wash over our shores. The bigger objects — boats, docks, part of a Japanese temple gate — seem to have arrived already, but light debris is still arriving.

Of course, we generate plenty of beach junk right here, and Bandon artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi has created the Washed Ashore Project (washedashore.org) to educate people about marine debris and plastic pollution through art. Pozzi and her volunteers have created whimsical sculptures of plastic beach junk that travel along with educational material about the problem of plastic pollution.

Not everything on the beach is junk, of course. Beachgoers can marvel at great drifts of Velella jellyfish, long whips of kelp and a variety of bones, shells and carapaces. Agates are plentiful on the South Coast, and fossil shells, bone and petrified wood are also common here. A concise and interesting guide to common things found on the beach is “Flotsam, Jetsam, and Wrack,” downloadable at http://seagrant.oregonstate.edu/sgpubs/onlinepubs/ g01002.pdf.

For the Kaiser’s Germany, it was the “blank cheque” to Austria after Sarajevo. For Great Britain, the 1939 war guarantee to Poland. For the Third Reich, it was the June 1941 invasion of Russia. For the Empire of the Sun, the decision to attack Pearl Harbor.

And for the Soviet Empire,it was the invasion of Afghanistan.

As for the United States, historians may one day concur with the late Gen. Bill Odom.

For the lone superpower to survive that century, the decision to invade and occupy Iraq was the most disastrous blunder in its history.

George W. Bush held out the promise of a peaceful Mesopotamian democracy as a magnet for all Arab nations. What we produced is a broken land awash in blood, a country severed by tribe and faith: a Kurdish north, Shia south and a Sunni west controlled by the savages of an “Islamic State” even al-Qaida hates and fears.

In Syria, where the United States has been aiding rebels to bring down Bashar Assad, that Islamic State now controls the northern and eastern half of the country. In Libya, where we delivered the air and missile strikes to smash Col. Gadhafi’s PAT forces, Islamist fanatics BUCHANAN have gained the upper hand in the civil war for Columnist control of that country.

In all three countries, the United States, which claimed to be battling dictatorship to bring democracy, helped to create the power vacuum these Islamists have moved to fill.

We are the enablers of the Islamic State.

How grave is the threat?

ISIS is a “direct threat to our homeland” says Rep. Peter King. “An existential threat” echoes Sen. Lindsey Graham, “I think of an American city in flames.”

The Islamic State “is beyond anything we’ve seen,” says Sec. Chuck Hagel, an “imminent threat to every interest we have.”

America is “in the most dangerous position we’ve ever been in,” says Sen.Jim Inhofe, “They’re crazy out there. And they are rapidly developing a method to blow up a major U.S. city.”

Undeniably, these are bloodthirsty religious fanatics who revel in beheadings and crucifixions and have exhibited battlefield bravery and skill.

But are 17,000 jihadi fighters in landlocked regions of Iraq and Syria really an imminent and mortal threat to an America with thousands of nuclear weapons and tens of thousands of missiles and bombs and the means to deliver them?

How grave is this crisis? Consider the correlation of forces.

Who are the vocal and visible friends and fighting allies of ISIS? They are nonexistent.

The Turks, Saudis, Qataris and Kuwaitis who, stupidly, have been aiding ISIS in bringing down Bashar Assad and blowing a hole in the “Shia Crescent” of Tehran, Baghdad, Damascus and Hezbollah, have lately awakened to their idiocy and are cutting off aid to ISIS. Moderate Sunnis detest ISIS for its barbarism and desecration of shrines. The Christians and Yazidis fear and loathe them.

The Kurds, both the Syrian YPG and PKK, which broke open the exit route for the Yazidis from Mount Sinjar,and the peshmerga despise ISIS. Lebanon’s army, Syria’s army, Hezbollah and Iran have been fighting ISIS with Russian assistance.Vladimir Putin himself warned us of the absurdity of our attacking Assad last year, arguing that we would be allying ourselves with the same terrorists who brought down the twin towers. Was Putin not right?

Even al-Qaida and Hamas have repudiated ISIS. We need no boots on the ground in Syria, for it is the presence of “Crusaders” on Islamic soil that is the principal recruiting tool of the jihadists.

What we need is diplomacy beyond the simple-minded, “Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists!” a diplomacy that invites old enemies into a coalition for a cause on which we all agree.

If Assad is willing to go in for the kill on ISIS, let us work out a truce and amnesty for the Free Syrian Army and call off that part of the rebellion, so Assad’s army can focus on killing ISIS. George H. W. Bush made an ally of Hafez al-Assad in Desert Storm.

Why not make an ally of his son against ISIS? We should next tell the Saudis,Qataris and Kuwaitis that any more aid to ISIS and they are on their own.We should inform the Turks that their continued membership in NATO is contingent upon sealing their border to ISIS volunteers and their assistance in eradicating the terrorist organization.

We should convey to Iran that an end to our cold war is possible if all attacks on the West stop and we work together to exterminate the Islamic State. Why would they not take the deal?

As for Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the selfproclaimed successor to Muhammad,my bet is that he closes out his brief career as caliph at an unscheduled meeting with Seal Team 6.

Letters to the Editor Constitutional reform necessary I missed congressman DeFazio’s Coos Bay town hall but had the chance to question him in Reedsport about his position on amending the Constitution to reform campaign finance and end corporate constitutional “rights.” I was glad to hear him say that he supports an amendment to ban corporate campaign contributions (for profit, union and nonprofit) and another that would declare that as corporations are not people, they are not entitled to constitutional rights.

He went on to say that this is one of three critical reforms that are necessary to get America back on track to representative government. The other two being ending media consolidation and ending gerrymandering of congressional districts.

After hearing this, I was disappointed to hear him say that he does not plan on championing the fight for constitutional reform necessary to end the gridlock he described in detail his talk. He seems so focused on doing what is possible in our dysfunctional Congress that he doesn’t see the absolute necessity to deal with the core problem, even if it will take years.

The Constitution has been amended 27 times. We can do it again, but not without champions in Congress. If the Oregon congressional delegation is ready to do what the Oregon Legislature and city councils around Oregon have called on them to do, they need to say so loudly, clearly and regularly.

Oregon Democracy Coalition formed to help them get that message out. In solidarity for peace and justice.

DeFazio’s hands in your pockets I was surprised by one of the quotes on your front page story about DeFazio and LNG. He said, “I’m not a big fan of people preempting someone’s private property.”

Now, are we talking about the same Peter DeFazio? Are we talking about Peter “I never saw a spending bill I didn’t just love” DeFazio? Just where does he think that money comes from.

Does he not think that the taxes used for those spending bills wasn’t pre-empted?

Every time I put on a pair of pants I can feel his hands in my pockets, and it feels like something of mine is being pre-empted.

CB downtown group unfair Coos Bay Downtown Association discriminates.

For the past several years, a group of many local volunteers have worked tirelessly to both operate and restore the historic Egyptian Theatre, truly a landmark in downtown. With the assistance of the Coos Bay UAR and our fundraising, the theater was reopened in June. During those years, the Egyptian

Theatre Preservation Association volunteers set up a booth at the Wednesday Farmers Market, the Blackberry Arts Festival and the Fun Festival. The proceeds from those events went into the restoration of the theater.

For 2014, the Coos Bay DTA accepted our application, and then a few days ago we were told that our merchandise promoting the theater and Coos Bay was not acceptable as it was in several past years.

During a 10-minute stroll down Central Avenue on Saturday, I discovered at least three nonprofit groups and one for profit business selling the same merchandise we were told we could not bring, and at least two or three empty booth spaces in every block. In addition, there appeared to be more food and candy booths than arts and crafts.

I would like to know the percentage of vendors whose profits will be kept in Coos County.

Shame on you, Coos Bay Downtown Association.

Another war is looming Can you feel it? Can you feel the tail starting to wag the dog?

We are being prepared for another pre-emptive war, aren’t we?

President Obama’s cronies are everywhere predicting doom and gloom as the president gleefully tries to make pars out on the golf courses.

After taking his eyes off the ball, pardon the pun, a civil war in Syria has expanded into a civil war in Iraq. Now we are being prepared for Obama’s decision that our military must come to the rescue. But whose rescue?

Syria’s President Bashar Assad’s government? Or whoever that is in charge of Iraq today? Hmm, let’s try to wag an emotional oldie but goodie. Those 50,000 Christians that were on a mountain? But that humanitarian “mission” disappeared when American “boots on the ground” went to look and found only goat herders that actually lived on the mountain. Oops, err, where is the next wag? Oh, oh, there is a city that the “bad guys” are going to attack with Americans living there! Yes, and although the American employees at the consulate could have been transported out of danger and that threat eliminated, what about the American oil companies located there? Wag, wag, the city must be protected!

So, President Obama ordered the vaporization of selected “bad guys” by dropping 500pound bombs on them, we got to pictures purposely watch “fuzzed up” on TV. Then the “bad guys,” in high definition video posted on the Internet, executed an American journalist, or as General Sherman called them, “spies,” as a “tit for tat.”

Now we are being told that all the “bad guys” are on the way here to America to put their flag on the White House, and we must kill them all first, “Intelligence Chairman on ISIS: ‘They Are One Plane Ticket Away’”!

Can you feel it, that tail has the dog shaking now!

Police criticism undeserved A response to “Need Funding?”

The World Newspaper, Saturday, Aug. 23.

As a retired police officer, proud to have served my community for nearly 26 years, I am appalled that Mr. Puglia from Myrtle Point believes that the mission of the thousands of police officers in America is to “kill Americans.” Believe it or not, Mr. Puglia, most police officers consider their work to be their duty, an honorable profession, a job they chose, to serve and protect!

These officers have been carefully screened before employment. They are rigidly trained in not only laws of our state and country but the application of force and how and when to use it. Any candidate not capable of completing this training will be washed out before ever going on the street.

You are probably not aware that even drawing a gun will result in a departmental and possible FBI investigation. Police officers are held to a higher standard than the average person. They should be, and expect to be. But not falsely accused!

Mr. Puglia, you have apparently never been faced with any kind of dangerous, violent, homicidal, drug freaked, ultra depressed suicidal person or situation. I’m glad you didn’t have to. When you need help you can just call 911 and the police will do their duty for you. Or would you like to face those situations alone?

Our police officers need the best of equipment (even if what can be afforded came from the military), because, Mr. Puglia, you may not have noticed but the bad guys already have those automatic guns and equipment, and are using them against all of us!

I sincerely request that we at least give these officers the respect of learning the real truth about each event before convicting them all.

Real knowledge lacking on LNG I read an opinion by Claudia Craig, regarding “Cautionary LNG film worth seeing.” I’m afraid that Ms. Craig is uniformed regarding LNG. Since 1944, there have been only 21 incidents/accidents related to LNG, and only six in the U.S., and none were attributed directly to LNG. The accidents were related to other causes. I feel it is important that people have their opinions about things but when they publicly state them without factual backup, that is unethical and wrong. The LNG industry is one of the safest on record. Let the facts speak for themselves.

Reasons exist behind shooting This paper’s supposition (Aug. 21) “Sometimes, there is no explanation,” was unedifying and deceptive. In the face of increasing “senseless” shootings and suicides in America, all committed by young males, we can identify the root causes and

“suppose” they supply an explanation.

Inadequate parenting by often stressed out adults working too much, with few advancement prospects and skewed priorities (no qualifications needed to be a parent nor a politician); underfunded and discriminatory public education systems and no technical job training facilities; minimum wages that won’t support a 40-hour a week worker, let alone a family; minimal upward mobility and inflating costs of basic needs; a violence saturated media and excessive gun availability not only presents a hopeless future but encourages a final acting out.

These juveniles and young men see themselves as losers.

They can’t attract good females and can’t protect nor provide for them. No one needs them.

Establishment family values are out of reach and/or alien, just as they are with virtually all ISIL and fellow terrorists.

Depending on Medicaid, housing subsidies, energy support, food stamps (if you can get them), etc., does not instill selfconfidence and a sense of worthiness in the face of our government-is-bad, greed-isand good it’s-every-man-for-himself Reaganite culture that Republicans have been running with for decades. If they had their way, those programs would be eliminated along with Medicare and Social Security in order to eliminate taxes on the super rich. Meanwhile, they have been compliant about shipping middle-class jobs off shore, if not facilitating the process, while hiding out when vaunted business competition is elimistress Economic nated. proliferates.

We could improve our economy and brighten prospects, reducing such shooting outbursts. Our economists know that a federal stimulus would not only slow the deterioration of our physical infrastructure but it would provide good jobs.

Republicans stop any such action citing deficits and debt.

But we don’t have to borrow the money from big banks who just create it, the government could just print the money itself, bypassing the debt (read Web of Debt) and interest payments.

But you won’t hear any politician suggesting that, as Wall Street owns them all.

But don’t say that there is no explanation for what figures to be a growing phenomena of violence. The explanation is all around us.

State Day care operator needs a timeout for her mouth DEAR ABBY: My neighbor has a registered day care business, and every day I hear her screaming at young children and infants. They are all 4-year-olds and younger. We live in a rural area outside a small town. She uses profanity and says mean things DEAR to them. It makes me want to cry when I think of how scared those kids must be.

Who do I contact with this JEANNE informaPHILLIPS tion?

I c o u l d record her with my phone if evidence was needed to shut down her business. This woman has a really bad anger management problem. She also knows I can hear her because we have spoken about how our voices travel.

I don’t think she is being physically abusive, but her words must be damaging to those kids. Please help me find someone to tell. I’m afraid the local police won’t be able to do anything. I can’t even take my own child in our backyard because she swears so much. — DAY CARE DRAMA IN INDIANA DEAR D.C.D.: Ideally, you should try to tell the parents what you have been hearing because they should be aware that their trusted caregiver loses control of her emotions and takes out her frustrations on their children. If the situation is as ugly as you describe, those kids must be terrified of her.

If that’s not possible, Child Protective Services should be notified because the environment is not emotionally healthy for little children.

P.S. By the age of 4, children usually have started to repeat the language they hear around them. I’m surprised these parents haven’t noticed the change in their vocabulary and questioned their little ones about where they heard those “bad words.”

Nonetheless, on the chance that the parents are clueless, what you have observed should be reported.

DEAR ABBY: I have a friend, a contractor working for the U.S. government, who thinks he’s in love with a Ukrainian girl. The pay is really good. He recently came back from a visit to see this “girlfriend.”

He has been sending this girl almost all his money for the last nine months. He was never alone with her, and she showed no emotional or physical attraction to him. In fact, a male friend of hers asked him for $800 to give as a bribe so he wouldn’t be drafted into the Ukrainian military. We believe this male friend is, in fact, the girl’s real boyfriend.

My friend paid $300 to send flowers to her for their nine-month anniversary, for which she expressed no thanks or appreciation. What advice can you provide us here? — FRIEND IN AFGHANISTAN DEAR FRIEND: Your friend’s “romance” seems suspicious to me, too. That he is giving all his money to someone who appears to be so emotionally distant is worrisome. I also have to doubt that $800 would keep an able-bodied man from being drafted into the Ukrainian military since the country is now involved in military conflict. It appears your friend is being treated more like an ATM than a suitor, but he may have to arrive at that realization on his own.

Campaign Watch: The week in Oregon politics SALEM (AP) — Gubernatorial candidates accused each other of not being sufficiently supportive of issues important to women, and Republican Dennis Richardson grabbed some big checks from the timber industry. After backing the Republican last time, the firefighters union is throwing its support to Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley. And Republicans came out against most Oregon ballot measures.

A look at some of the week’s more interesting developments in Oregon politics:

Richardson and Kitzhaber spar In a theme that’s likely to carry through the election, Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber and state Rep. Dennis Richardson traded barbs over their support for women.

Richardson, a Republican

from Central Point, went first, releasing a 15-second ad that his campaign says will run online. It accuses Kitzhaber of paying women in his administration less than men.

“Dennis Richardson believes in equal pay for equal work and experience,” a narrator says.

Hours later, the Democratic Party of Oregon followed up with a website, StuffDennisRichardsonSays. com. The Democrats highlight controversial statements Richardson has made on abortion, gay rights and other issues.

“Richardson’s record shows he clearly does not grasp the basic issues of fairness and equality,” said Amy Wojcicki, Kitzhaber’s campaign spokeswoman.

Richardson pulls in timber money Richardson lags far behind Kitzhaber in the hunt

for campaign cash, but a handful of timber executives gave him a bit of a boost in August.

Campaign finance records show that three sisters who own the Eugene-based Seneca family of timber companies — Jody Jones, Becky Jones and Kathy Jones-McCann — gave a combined $100,000.

Richardson also took in $50,000 from Freres Timber Inc., of Lyons.

The money helps Richardson narrow the fundraising gap with Kitzhaber, but he still trails the incumbent. Kitzhaber has pulled in $1.9 million so far this year, compared with Richardson’s $735,000.

Richardson has also been spending his money at a faster clip.

Kitzhaber has his own big timber donors, including Timber Products Co. of Springfield, Hampton Lumber Sales of Portland,

and Roseburg Products Co.

Forest

Firefighters back Merkley Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley picked up an endorsement from a firefighters union that endorsed his opponent in his last campaign.

The Oregon State Fire Fighters Council said Merkley “has proven himself a leader on the issues that are most important to fire fighters and our families.”

The firefighters backed incumbent Republican Gordon Smith in the 2008 campaign. Helped by a national wave of new voters supporting Barack Obama for president, Merkley narrowly defeated Smith and is now seeking a second term.

Republicans oppose ballot measures Members of the GOP’s State Central Committee looked at the Oregon ballot

measures and didn’t see any they liked.

The GOP came out against five the seven measures on the November ballot and took no position on the others.

Republicans say voters should reject marijuana legalization and labeling requirements for foods with genetically modified ingredients. The GOP also isn’t keen on granting driving privileges to people who can’t prove they’re legally in the United States, or authorizing the state to sell bonds to provide college financial assistance.

Republicans had previously come out against a measure that would replace the party primary elections with a top-two primary, in which the top two vote-getters in the May election advance to November. On that one — and only that one — they agreed with Democrats.

3 Baker County residents likely had West Nile STATE

BAKER CITY (AP) — Health officials say three Baker County residents were likely infected with West Nile virus this summer.

The Oregon Health Authority and the county health department are calling the cases “presumptive” because final test results are not in.

The Baker City Herald reports that these would be the first human cases in the eastern Oregon county since 2007.

One case involves 70year-old Martha Pennock, who lives in the unincorporated community of New Bridge. She told the newspaper she went to the hospital Aug. 5 because of dehydration and kidney problems.

Man fatally shot in Eugene neighborhood EUGENE (AP) — Police say one man died and anoth-

D I G E S T er was taken into custody after gunfire in the Santa Clara neighborhood of Eugene.

KVAL-TV reports that Lane County deputies took Brian Irving Sears to the sheriff’s office for an interview after Friday’s shooting, and he was booked early Saturday on a murder charge.

Police responded to the scene after getting a report of a dispute involving gunfire.

The victim was found dead on a front lawn.

The Register-Guard reports about 20 people were at the scene Friday evening.

Neighbor Deanna Thomas said she heard a lot of gunshots and screaming.

When Thomas got out-

side, she said she saw a man in handcuffs who was telling a law enforcement officer that he was just defending himself.

Developer requests extension for wind farm

BEND (AP) — A defendant in the notorious “Redmond 5” murder case will seek a lighter sentence when he returns to court Tuesday after more than a decade behind bars.

Justin Link, 31, was a teenager in 2001 when he and four friends in Central Oregon killed Barbara Thomas, 52, of Redmond.

The cruelty of the case attracted national attention, particularly because one of the attackers was her son.

Though prosecutors called Link the mastermind, the Oregon Supreme Court in 2009 tossed three of his five aggravated murder convictions because he was not the one who physically killed Thomas. In December, the high court said the reduced set of charges entitled him to a resentencing.

Link has been serving a sentence of life in prison without possibility of parole.

Link’s appeal states that in a resentencing hearing, the defense would cite a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that determined mandatory true life sentences for juvenile defendants are cruel and unusual.

THE DALLES (AP) — Developers seeking to build the Summit Ridge Wind Farm near The Dalles are asking to shrink and delay their project.

The Oregon Department of Energy said Friday it will take public comments on the proposal until Sept. 19.

Girl, 9, dies; trapped in sand at beach

School’s $100M donor is Columbia Sportswear chair PORTLAND (AP) — The anonymous donor that gave $100 million to Oregon Health & Science University last month has been revealed as Columbia Sportswear chairwoman Gert Boyle, and the donation was made to honor her late sister.

Boyle’s gift means the university has to raise $70 million more to trigger Phil and Penny Knight’s matching $500 million donation, which the Nike co-founder pledged a year ago. The effort aims to make the university’s Knight Cancer Institute one of the leading cancer research facilities in the nation, The Oregonian reported Friday.

Boyle was not available to discuss the gift Friday, but Brian Druker, head of the Knight Cancer Institute, told the backstory.

In 2007, Druker met Boyle’s son, Tim, the CEO of Columbia, and discovered Tim Boyle’s aunt, Hildegard Lamfrom, had been Druker’s mentor while he was a grad student at University of California, San Diego.

“Gert wanted to hear about her sister, how she helped me through my truly formative years in the labo-

ratory,” Druker said.

Lamfrom had been a research scientist, who worked with trailblazers like Francis Crick, the biologist who helped discovered the DNA molecule’s structure, the newspaper reported.

Lamfrom died in 1984 at the age of 62 from a brain tumor.

“She was an extremely skilled scientist,” Druker said, noting that Lamfrom worked at a time, in the 1960s and ’70s, when female researchers faced barriers.

The Bend Bulletin and KTVZ report that Link has been returned to the Deschutes County jail and will be in a Bend courtroom on Tuesday.

The Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office declined to comment on the case.

Mike Dugan, who was Deschutes County district attorney from 1987 to 2010, said Link’s “best-case scenario” is the possibility of parole after 30 years.

Two other teens, Seth Koch and Adam Thomas, also were sentenced to life without parole. Koch fired the fatal shot from a rifle stolen from Thomas’ father.

Two girls who accompanied the boys, Lucretia Karle and Ashley Summers, were sentenced to 25 years in prison.

The group had stolen a Cadillac from Koch’s mother and driven to the Thomas home, where they lost the keys and ransacked the house looking for them while they looted it. The teens then hatched a plot to kill Barbara Thomas to cover up their other crimes, steal her car and drive to Canada.

Will traffic deaths rise as states legalize pot?

BY JOAN LOWY The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — As states liberalize their marijuana laws, public officials and safety advocates worry that more drivers high on pot will lead to a big increase in traffic deaths. Researchers who have studied the issue, though, are divided on the question.

Studies of marijuana’s effects show that the drug can slow decision-making, decrease peripheral vision and impede multitasking, all of which are critical driving skills. But unlike with alcohol, drivers high on pot tend to be aware that they are impaired

and they try to compensate by driving slowly, avoiding risky actions such as passing other cars, and allowing extra room between vehicles.

On the other hand, combining marijuana with alcohol appears to eliminate the pot smoker’s exaggerated caution and it seems to increase driving impairment beyond the effects of either substance alone.

“We see the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington as a wake-up call for all of us in highway safety,” said Jonathan Adkins, executive director of Governors Highway Safety Association, which represents state highway safety offices.

House, Senate intel chiefs flag Islamic State risk WASHINGTON (AP) — Leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees on Sunday prodded President Barack Obama to take decisive action against what they say are growing threats from Islamic State militants on U.S. soil.

The lawmakers, one Republican and one Democratic, offered bipartisan pressure on the White House to turn back the hazard of Islamist fighters who have taken control of vast swaths of Syria and Iraq.

Those militants now are looking toward the U.S. or Western Europe for its next targets, lawmakers said. offering Without specifics on any threats or suggestions how to confront them, the lawmakers said Obama soon needs to develop a comprehensive strategy to crush the fighters.

“His foreign policy is in absolute free-fall,” said Rep. Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican who heads the House Intelligence Committee.

In another TV interview, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the

California Democrat who leads the Senate intelligence panel, said Obama is perhaps “too cautious” in his approach to combatting the Islamic State group.

“This is a group of people who are extraordinarily dangerous,” Feinstein said. “And they’ll kill with abandon.”

The pair of lawmakers, who have access to some of the nation’s most sensitive secrets and receive regular and detailed briefings from the nation’s spy agencies, offered dire predictions of an attack on the United States or its European allies if the militants are not confronted.

“They have announced that they don’t intend to stop,” Feinstein said. “They have announced that they will come after us if they can, that they will, quote, ‘spill our blood.’”

The threat, Rogers said, could include Americans who have trained with Islamic State fighters. He said there are hundreds of Islamic State-trained Americans who can return to the U.S. with their American passports.

“We don’t know enough about the scope of marijuana-impaired driving to call it a big or small problem. But anytime a driver has their ability impaired, it is a problem.”

Colorado and Washington are the only states that allow retail sales of marijuana for recreational use. Efforts to legalize recreational marijuana are underway in Alaska, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon and the District of Columbia.

Twenty-three states and the nation’s capital permit marijuana use for medical purposes.

It is illegal in all states to drive while impaired by marijuana.

5 things to know about driving on marijuana WASHINGTON (AP) — The legalization of recreational marijuana in two states — Colorado and Washington — and medical marijuana in more than 20 others has raised concern that there will be more drivers stoned behind the wheel. What’s not clear is whether that will translate into an increase in fatal crashes.

What we know While marijuana users can perform simple tasks well while they are high, brain imaging has shown that they have to use more of their brain to do so. Their reaction times are slower, peripheral vision is decreased and multitasking impeded. As a result, when sudden or surprising things occur to complicate those tasks — such as when a pedestrian steps in front of a car — they cannot respond as well. On the other hand, marijuana users tend to be aware they are impaired and try to compensate for it.

What we don’t know It’s not clear how much marijuana use contributes to crash risk. Some studies have found that marijuana can double crash risk, but others have found virtually no increase.

How high is too high Traces of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, can be detected in the blood of some habitual marijuana users days or weeks after they last used the drug, making it hard to use blood tests to discern a current level of impairment. Most states haven’t set a THC threshold for

impairment, but Colorado and Washington have settled on an intoxication blood level of five parts per billion. There’s no roadside test for THC like those for alcohol, but some states are experimenting with a saliva test.

Real-world experience In 2013, the first full year after Washington state legalized pot, nearly 25 percent more drivers tested positive for marijuana than before legalization. But there’s been no corresponding jump in accidents or arrests for intoxicated driving. A University of Colorado Medical School study found that the share of drivers involved in fatal motor vehicle crashes in Colorado who tested positive for marijuana more than doubled between 1994 and 2011. A National Safety Council study looked at the prevalence of drivers involved in fatal crashes who tested positive for marijuana in 12 states from 1992 to 2009 — before and after implementing medical marijuana laws. Only three states showed an increase — California, Hawaii and Washington — and those appeared to be a one-time increase possibly associated with differences in testing.

What next?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is conducting research to get a better idea of how pot affects driving. NHTSA and Washington state officials have also teamed up to assess change in marijuana use by drivers before and after the state allowed retail sale of the drug, with results due next year.

Obama on Labor Day: Don’t take rights for granted WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is asking Americans this Labor Day to think about the rights and benefits that people often take for granted.

In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says he’s optimistic about the growing economy. He says decisions made now will determine whether the recovery will pick up speed.

Obama says workers and unions fought for things like Social Security, Medicare, workplace safety laws and the right to organize. He says those fights built a stronger middle class.

Obama says to strengthen the modern middle class, the U.S. must raise its minimum wage. He says states and businesses have raised wages already and Congress should, too.

In the Republican address, Rep. Larry Bucshon of Indiana says Republicans are focused on creating jobs,lowering costs and restoring opportunity.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A federal judge has temporarily blocked Louisiana from enforcing its restrictive new abortion law. But lawyers and advocates appeared to disagree about whether the judge’s order affects doctors at all five abortion clinics in the state or only those at three clinics whose lawsuit challenges the measure.

U.S. District Judge John deGravelles wrote that authorities cannot enforce the law until he holds a hearing on whether an order to block it is needed while the case remains in court.

The law requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges to a hospital within 30 miles of their clinics. The lawsuit claims doctors haven’t had enough time to obtain the privileges and the law likely would close all five clinics.

World Islamist militia now guards US Embassy in Libya

China anti-dissent playbook may fail in Hong Kong HONG KONG (AP) — China’s Communist leaders have pulled out their usual playbook to suppress resistance to their plans to tightly limit the first direct election of Hong Kong’s leader, but are likely to find that the results are quite different.

Beijing is blaming radicals and foreigners and showing off its military might, all things unlikely to go down well in the freewheeling capitalist bastion where a sizeable middle class accustomed to freedom of speech and the rule of law plans to push back with acts of civil disobedience.

Rowdy protests on Monday against a visiting Beijing official who was explaining the central government’s decision signaled a new stage in Hong Kong’s battle for democracy.

The ruling came after months of reminders from Beijing that it is ultimately in charge of the city despite its substantial autonomy. But the reaction in the former British colony is shaping up to be

A commander for the Dawn of Libya group, Moussa Abu-Zaqia, told the AP that his forces had been guarding the residential compound since last week, a day after it seized control of the capital and its international airport after weeks of fighting with a rival militia.

Abu-Zaqia said the rival militia from Zintan was in the compound before his troops took it over.

A senior State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly, said the department is seeking additional information but believed the embassy compound “remains secure.”

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday called on Ukraine to immediately start talks on a political solution to the crisis in eastern Ukraine.

Hours later, Ukraine said a border guard vessel operating in the Azov Sea was attacked by land-based forces. ProRussian rebels have recently opened a new offensive along the seacoast.

Putin’s comment, made to national TV network Channel 1, said Ukraine should “hold substantive, meaningful talks, not about technical issues but about the question of the political organization of society and statehood in southeast

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — An Islamist-allied militia group in control of Libya’s capital now guards the U.S.Embassy and its residential compound, a commander said Sunday, as onlookers toured the abandoned homes of diplomats who fled the country more than a month ago.

An Associated Press journalist saw holes left by small-arms and rocket fire dotting the residential compound, reminders of weeks of violence between rival militias over control of Tripoli that sparked the evacuation.

The breach of a deserted U.S. diplomatic post — including images of men earlier swimming in the compound’s algae-filled pools — likely will reinvigorate debate in the U.S. over its role in Libya, more than three years after supporting rebels who toppled dictator

ALASKA Operation ran for eight years Continued from Page A1 compensate for To expected casualties, a reserve pool of agents was to be held outside of Alaska and inserted by air later as shortterm replacements. This assignment was seen as an easier sell to potential recruits because “some agents might not be too enthusiastic about being left behind in enemy-occupied areas for an indefinite period of time,” one planning document noted dryly.

“Washtub” was not, however, a washout.

It operated from 1951-59, to Deborah according Kidwell, official historian of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, or OSI. “While war with the Soviet Union did not come to Alaska, OSI trained 89 SBA (stay-behind agents), and the survival caches served peacetime purposes for many years to come,” she wrote in an OSI magazine last year.

With the benefit of hindsight, it would be easy to dismiss “Washtub” as a harebrained scheme born of paranoia. In fact it reflected genuine worry about Soviet intentions and a sense of U.S. vulnerability in a turbulent post-World War II period.

As the plan was being shaped in 1950, Sovietbacked North Korea invaded South Korea, triggering a war

power in control.”

Recruiters pitched patriotism and were to offer retainer fees of up to $3,000 a year (nearly $30,000 in 2014 dollars). That sum was to be doubled “after an invasion has commenced,” according to one planning document. The records do not say how much was actually paid during the course of the program.

At least some recruits were fingerprinted and all were secretly screened by the FBI for signs of disloyalty.

The FBI linked one candidate, a resident of Stony River, to a list of names in a 1943 bureau file on “Communist Party activities, Alaska” that tracked U.S. subscribers to a magazine called “Soviet Russia Today.”

Another candidate was flagged — falsely, it turned out — as a likely communist sympathizer based on an FBI informant’s tip about membership in the “Tom Paine Club, Communist Party, Spokane, Washington.”

One was described in a May 1952 OSI memo to the FBI office in Anchorage as the postmaster in Kiana, Alaska; another was manager of a hotel in Valdez. One agent

candidate worked for a tinmining company at Lost River on the Seward Peninsula, one of the higher-priority areas for placing “Washtub” staybehind agents.

The peninsula is named after Secretary of State William H. Seward, the primary negotiator in the 1867 purchase of the Alaska territory for $7.2 million from czarist Russia.

The FBI tapped its local contacts, including federal judges, the head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Anchorage, an Anchorage physician and others for names of reliable Alaskans to be approached.

“Washtub’ was crafted in painstaking detail. But just as the first trained agents were to be put in place in September 1951, Hoover pulled out, leaving it in OSI’s hands, even though one month earlier his top lieutenants had advised him the FBI was “in these programs neck deep,” with an “obvious and inescapable” duty to proceed.

Hoover worried that when the shooting in Alaska started the FBI would be “left holding the bag.”

“If a crisis arose we would

be in the midst of another ‘Pearl Harbor’ and get part of the blame,” Hoover wrote in the margin of a Sept. 6, 1951, memo from an aide, to whom Hoover added one final order: “Get out at once.”

Three years later, Hoover was pulled back in, briefly.

In October 1954, an envelope and a typewritten letter containing a coded message were turned over to the FBI by a woman in Anchorage. It had been misaddressed by the anonymous sender in Fairbanks. Espionage was suspected, triggering flurries of FBI internal memos.

Hoover was informed that bureau code breakers were urgently trying to decipher the message.

They never broke the code but eventually declared the crisis over. The mystery message, they determined, was not from an enemy spy.

It was a “practice message” sent errantly by one of the “Washtub” agents.

state Legislature.

Democrats currently have a 16-14 edge in the state Capitol’s upper chamber. A Democratic-held seat in Medford and a Republican seat in Albany and Corvallis will be ground zero in the fight for control of the Senate, and both parties are trying to find a handful of other races where they might be competitive.

State House unlikely to flip For all the intrigue over control of the Senate, the state House is unlikely to flip.

Democrats have a healthy 34-26 advantage and the help of district boundaries that favor their incumbents.

They could gain or lose seats in the election, and Republicans are fighting hard to make inroads. But absent a massive Republican wave, flipping up five seats to grab the majority is a tall order for the GOP. The battlegrounds, as is typical, will be centered primarily in the Portland suburbs.

This year’s campaign chair is Jeff Street, the regional manager for Banner Bank.

Harsh and Street are willing to bring their message directly to the people in order to provide a better understanding of where the money will go. There is even, he said, a polished 10-minute presincluding a entation, three-minute video, that is ready to travel.

“We’d be tickled to go talk with them,” Harsh said.

Kahne joins Chase

By George Artsitas, The World

Oregon freshman Royce Freeman celebrates in the end zone after scoring a touchdown against South Dakota on Saturday.

Young players shine in Oregon rout

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

EUGENE —Nothing breathes optimism into a college football program like great freshmen.

In Oregon’s 62-13 evisceration of South Dakota on Saturday, the new crop of first year Ducks — both true and redshirt freshmen— stole the show in Oregon’s 2014 opener.

True freshman running back Royce Freeman was the headliner, with 75 yards on the ground on 10 carries and a pair of touchdowns.

Redshirt freshman Darren Carrington led the Ducks receivers with four catches for 68 yards.

True freshman Charles Nelson added a punt return touchdown while wearing the No. 6, looking very reminiscent of former Duck punt-return assassin De’Anthony Thomas. Redshirter Juwaan Williams added a sack in the fourth quarter. Kids from the recruiting trail like Justin Hollins, Jimmie Swain, Arrion Springs and Tyrell Crosby all impressed in their first taste of collegiate ball.

After season-ending injuries to

lineman Tyler Johnstone and receiver Bralon Addison, having young guys step up wasn’t just vital for the Ducks against the Coyotes, but will be throughout their 2014 campaign.

“This is a really mature group of young players,” Marshfield graduate and Ducks head coach Mark Helfrich said. “The credit goes to Hroniss Grasu, Marcus Mariota, Keanon Lowe. They really embraced those guys. We knew we were going to be a young team in a lot of ways.”

The game Saturday was a great opportunity for the youngsters to ease their way into Division I speed. The Ducks scored on a Dwayne Stanford 62-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Mariota on the first series of the game and cruised from the 13:26 mark of the first quarter on. The score was 41-13 by half.

The outcome was a formality.

South Dakota was a 51-point underdog coming into the game and the Coyotes received a $525,000 payout for the trip. As with all sports, in blowouts, the kids down the depth chart get more

playing time. On Saturday, the Ducks used a total of 70 players.

The game was similar to last season’s home opener against Nicholls State — down to the away-colored white uniforms at home — but there was one big difference.

This was Helfrich’s second goaround. He’s dealt with opening day expectations twice now, and it’s hard for him to quantify how he’s grown as a coach.

“Oh, I’m much better,” Helfrich said, tongue firmly in cheek.

Heisman hopeful Mariota impressed, going 14-for-20 through the air for 267 yards and three touchdowns and adding a running score in just two quarters of play. Mariota and backup Jeff Lockie, who went 11-for-12 while playing the entire second half, found 11 different Duck receivers on the day.

Mariota remembers the freshman feeling. The Hawaiian was handed the keys to the Duck’s sports car offense as a redshirt freshman. Being antsy or anxious is normal.

“Some of the guys were putting on their pads three hours before the game even started,” Mariota said. “They had the typical freshman jitters, but once they got out there and played, they did a great job for us and we’re going to continue to need that from them moving forward.”

If the season looks anything like Saturday, Oregon will be working with a three-headed hydra in the backfield.

The triumvirate of tailbacks consists of Thomas Tyner, Byron Marshall and Freeman, who all proved to be fruitful Saturday, combining for 229 yards on 29 carries.

“We got a lot in talent in this backfield, some of the most talent Oregon’s had,” Marshall said. “To be able to hit like that from three different people throughout the game, a lot of people are going to stay fresh and a lot of plays are going to happen.”

Tyner, who developed into a vital part of the Duck running attack last season, finished with 64 yards on 11 carries.

Wozniacki outlasts Sharapova at U.S. Open NEW YORK (AP) — Caroline Wozniacki trusts her stamina so much that she plans to return to New York in two months to run a marathon.

Maria Sharapova, usually the one wearing down opponents in the third set, sure couldn’t keep up on a steamy Sunday at the U.S. Open. Wozniacki won 6-4, 2-6, 62 in 2 hours, 37 minutes to get back to her first Grand Slam quarterfinal in more than two years — and get back in the headlines for reasons other than her personal life.

“The season for me has been a little bit up and down,” she said in quite an understatement, “and it’s so nice to kind of start feeling like I’m playing the way I want to.”

Because of the heat, the players received a 10-minute break before the final set; Sharapova returned to the court late, arguing with the chair umpire after receiving a time violation warning. Perhaps sensing that she was fresher than the fivetime major champion, Wozniacki later complained that Sharapova was dawdling between points.

Her tardiness seemed to swing the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd’s support squarely in Wozniacki’s favor. When the 10th-seeded Dane broke Sharapova at love to go up 3-1 in the final set, she got a standing ovation from the fans

Caroline Wozniacki celebrates after beating Maria Sharapova during the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Sunday. and waved her arms to egg them on. Sharapova had appeared to hit a winner three times on that game’s final point only for Wozniacki to somehow chase down the ball. Finally, Sharapova put a volley into the net.

Wozniacki mixed in just enough aggression with her signature defense to keep the pressure on Sharapova in the final set.

“She’s very good at getting a lot

of balls back and making you hit another one,” Sharapova said. “In the end, I went for a little too much.”

She insisted the conditions didn’t bother her. Sharapova had been 17-6 in three-set matches this year, including her comefrom-behind second-round victory here.

The fifth-seeded Sharapova’s loss leaves No. 1 Serena Williams

as the only woman remaining of the top six. Ninth-seeded Jelena Jankovic was also upset, losing 76 (6), 6-3 to 17-year-old Swiss Belinda Bencic.

With mentor Martina Hingis cheering from the stands, Bencic became the youngest U.S. Open quarterfinalist since Hingis herself in 1997.

After a sloppy first set, Sharapova was painting the lines in the second. Wozniacki seemed to spend most of it watching in dismay as one of Sharapova’s 22 winners whizzed by.

Wozniacki said she told herself before the third set to go for her shots.

“If I’m going to lose,” she recalled thinking, “at least I’m going to do it with dignity.”

She closed out the match by breaking Sharapova’s serve again with a backhand winner. About a half-hour later, thunderstorms halted play with second-seeded Roger Federer down a break in the first set to Marcel Granollers.

Federer acknowledged the two-hour delay helped him regroup. While Granollers won the first set, Federer dominated the rest of the way, winning 4-6, 6-1, 6-1, 6-1.

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — There is pressure that comes with b e i n g pa r t o f t h e p owe r f u l Hendrick Motorsports team with NASCAR superstars Jeff Gordon, J i m m i e Jo h n so n a n d Da l e Earnhardt Jr. For Kasey Kahne, the pressure grew as he feared he would be the only driver on the team left out of the Chase for the Sprint Cup. That changed when Kahne earned his spot in the Chase by charging past Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin in a two-lap shootout to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday night.

“That was just an unbelievable way to make the Chase,” Kahne said.

Meanwhile, Tony Stewart’s much-anticipated return to racing ended a little more than halfway through the race.

Stewart hit the wall for the second time after his right front tire blew out on Lap 172, ending his night with a 41st-place finish.

After Atlanta, next week’s race at Richmond would have been Kahne’s final chance to earn his spot in the Chase.

“It was all I could think about,” Kahne said. “I knew Atlanta was a better opportunity for myself than going out to Richmond. I just knew that tonight we needed it.”

Rick Hendrick beamed after the race as he talked about his team’s chances in the Chase.

Gordon, who finished 17th, still leads the points race. Earnhardt, who was 11th, is second. Johnson, who finished fourth in Atlanta, is sixth.

“I think we’ve got better balance this year than we’ve had in the past,” Hendrick said.

Johnson, Earnhardt and Gordon celebrated with Kahne on the victory stand.

“I looked up and saw them all standing there and I was really proud of the organization when I saw that happen,” Hendrick said.

It was Kahne’s first win of the season and his third career victory in Atlanta.

Kenseth, who finished second, also qualified for the Chase on points. He began the second restart in first place, but couldn’t stop the charge from Kahne.

Hamlin was third, followed by Johnson, Carl Edwards and Danica Patrick.

Patrick’s sixth-place finish was the best of her career, the highest for a woman at Atlanta Motor Speedway and the second-highest for a female in NASCAR history. Sarah Christian finished fifth in a Sprint Cup race in 1949 at Heidelberg (Pa.) Raceway.

It was Stewart’s first race since the car he was driving struck and killed 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr. in an Aug. 9 race at a dirt track in upstate New York. The fatal wreck is still under investigation.

With only two laps remaining and Kahne holding a solid lead over Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch collided, forcing a caution flag and the first shootout. Harvick, who led 195 laps, had contact with Joey Logano in heavy traffic and hit the wall on the restart, bringing another caution flag and a second shootout.

Kahne, who had four fresh tires, started behind Kenseth and Hamlin on the final restart.

Harvick, who also won the Nationwide Series race on Saturday night, started from the pole and led the first 80 laps, but was denied his attempt for a weekend sweep.

Brad Keselowski was fourth when a collision with Josh Wise ended his night with 28 laps remaining.

Ty Dillon, making his Sprint Cup debut, finished 25th.

Lakers get off to solid start for volleyball season THE WORLD The Southwestern Oregon Community College volleyball team got the season off to a good start, reaching the semifinals in the Highline Fall Classic at Des Moines, Wash., over the weekend.

“I am very proud of how they played,” SWOCC coach Stephanie

Willett said. “Normally, we start lower and work our way up during the season.

“We started pretty strong and beat some good teams from the other regions. It was a nice confidence boost before we head to California on Tuesday.”

The Lakers make their annual preseason trip south this week to get matches against schools in the

northern part of California and also bond as a team.

On Friday, the Lakers beat Green River 20-25, 25-21, 15-9; topped Big Bend 27-25, 21-25, 1715; and lost to Treasure Valley 2520, 25-20.

In the elimination bracket Saturday, SWOCC beat Skagit Valley 25-18, 23-25, 15-11 to reach semifinals, then lost to eventual

champion Highline 25-22, 25-10.

“Overall, I was very happy with how we played,” Willett said. “It was fun to watch.”

Willett said freshman setter Christine Wing has already developed into a leader on the court and did a good job connecting with the team’s hitters.

Alyssa Sprague, Brandi Wilson and Brea Mosieur were strong in

serve-receive all weekend, Willett said.

“Another big thing was our blocking,” she said. “Hayley (Sturgeon), Tori (Foutz) and Gabby (White). They are all over it. The back row enjoyed that help.”

Among the hitters, Willett was most pleased with Sturgeon, a transfer who can “just pound the ball on that right side.”

Ernst earns first LPGA win in Portland PORTLAND (AP) — Austin Ernst won the LPGA Tour’s Portland Classic on Sunday with a par on the first hole of a playoff against South Korea’s I.K. Kim. It was the first professional victory for the 22year-old Ernst, who shot a 5-under 67 in the final round to get to 14 under at Columbia Edgewater. Kim, the first- and second-round leader, carded a 68.

Kim missed an 8-foot par putt in the playoff that handed the win to the American.

A year ago as a rookie in Portland, Ernst shot a thirdround 62 on the way to a ninth-place finish. In Ernst’s mind, Columbia Edgewater was a likely place for her first career win.

“A lot of good memories coming into this year. I was very confident coming in, knowing I could make a lot of birdies,” Ernst said. “I knew that I didn’t have to do anything special today because I had three really good rounds to start with. Coming down the stretch, I was very proud of how I handled everything.”

Ernst pulled into contention with a 5-under 31 on the front nine, highlighted by a chip-in eagle at the par-5 fifth. Kim made four birdies and no bogeys.

South Korean’s So Yeon Ryu and Chella Choi tied for third at 12 under. Ryu, last week’s Canadian Women’s Open winner, shot 70, while Choi had a 68.

Austin Ernst urges her putt as it rolls to the pin on the 18th green during a playoff at the Portland Classic golf tournament on Sunday.

Ernst was in control after she converted a long birdie putt at the par-4 14th to get to 16 under and a two-stroke lead. But she stumbled down the stretch, missing the green at Nos. 17 and 18, resulting in bogeys.

That opened the door for Kim and Ryu, but only Kim capitalized. At the par-4 18th, Kim missed the green long with her second shot, but chipped to 3 feet and made the par putt to force a playoff. Ryu, at 14 under

heading into 18, made double bogey after hitting her second shot from a fairway bunker into a greenside pond.

Ernst finished about 20 minutes before Kim and Ryu. First thing Ernst did, after signing her card, was call her father Mark.

“Those are probably two of the hardest holes on the course. When I talked to my dad, he said if you made those bogeys anywhere else in the round, no one would

say anything different. So, really solid round,” Ernst said.

In the playoff, Ernst rolled a 35-foot putt to within 18 inches. Kim missed the green with her second shot, chipped to within 8 feet, and then missed the par putt.

Kim, a three-time LPGA winner, was bidding for her first victory since 2010. After playing the entire final round without a bogey, Kim made one during the playoff.

“I’ve been missing quite a few of those. I think it’s just the speed of the green,” Kim said. “I played in a lot of playoffs, but I haven’t won one yet. So it was in the back of my mind. But she deserves it.”

At 18, Ryu was in position to win the tournament outright or earn a spot in the playoff, but her tee shot landed in a bunker. It got worse when Ryu hit her approach into the water.

“These days I have been struggling with hitting fairway bunker shots. As you saw, my result was really bad,” Ryu said. “It feels great to be in contention again, and I saw a lot of positive things this week, so honestly, I’m disappointed with my finish, but still happy with my result.”

The three third-round leaders faded. South Korea’s Mi Jung Hur shot 73 to finish at 10 under, while defending champion Suzann Pettersen of Norway and Spain’s Carlota Ciganda were at 9 under after 74s.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When he was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs last offseason, quarterback Alex Smith professed his admiration for coach Andy Reid and his excitement at playing for the storied franchise.

Now, he could have that opportunity for at least four more years.

Smith and the Chiefs agreed Sunday on a $68 million extension that should keep him in Kansas City through the 2018 season, a person familiar with the contract told the Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced.

BASEBALL Oakland picks up slugger Dunn from Sox CHICAGO — The Oakland Athletics acquired slugger Adam Dunn from the Chicago White Sox, hoping to boost their lineup for the final stretch.

In return, the White Sox acquired minor league pitcher Nolan Sanburn on Sunday.

Second in the AL West, the Athletics were looking to add a hitter after trading Yoenis Cespedes to the Boston Red Sox for starter

GOLF Henley leads going into final day of tournament NORTON, Mass. — Russell Henley made five birdies in a seven-hole stretch Sunday on his way to a 6-under 65, giving him a one-shot lead in the Deutsche Bank Championship going into a Labor Day finish loaded with possibilities.

And that includes Rory McIlroy.

Coming off a week that was pedestrian by his standards, McIlroy got right back into the mix at the TPC Boston with his power and great iron play for a 64, leaving him just two shots behind on a crowded leaderboard.

Couples wins playoff after final-round 61 CALGARY, Alberta — Fred Couples won the Champions Tour’s Shaw Charity Classic, chipping in for eagle for a course-record 9-under 61 and beating Billy Andrade with a tap-in birdie on the first hole of a playoff.

The 54-year-old Couples also eagled the par-5 11th and had five birdies in his third straight bogey-free round at Canyon Meadows.

B4 •The World • Monday, September 1,2014

Sports FIFA will discuss World Cup dates ZURICH (AP) — FIFA will step up the search for new dates to play the 2022 World Cup in Qatar at talks with football officials next Monday.

Consultation was promised last year after FIFA President Sepp Blatter insisted the tournament cannot be played in the summer desert heat.

FIFA said Monday the six continental confederations plus clubs, leagues and players’ unions from around the world will be represented at its Zurich headquarters on Sept. 8. The meeting will be led by Asian Football Confederation President

Sheik Salman bin Ebrahim al Khalifa of Bahrain.

A second session is scheduled for November, FIFA said.

Blatter has suggested his executive committee should make a decision next March.

Blatter and FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke have repeatedly said in interviews that only a November 2022 kickoff will work.

Qatar was awarded hosting rights in a December 2010 vote of FIFA’s ruling board.

The local organizing committee has stood by a bid promise of hosting a traditional June-July tournament in air-cooled stadiums.

TENNIS From Page B1 Unlike the women’s draw, the men’s side didn’t lose a top-10 player until Sunday, when fourth-seeded David Ferrer was upset by Gilles Simon in the third round 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. Sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych and No. 7 Grigor Dimitrov also advanced.

Dominic Thiem, 20, made his first Grand Slam round of 16 with a straight-set win over 19th-seeded Feliciano Lopez. Another first was achieved in the women’s draw by Peng Shuai, who had never been to a major quarterfinal before beating 14thseeded Lucie Safarova 6-3, 6-4.

Wozniacki will next face 13th-seeded Sara Errani, who ended the run of qualifier Mirjana Lucic-Baroni with a three-set victory.

As a 19-year-old, Wozniacki made the 2009 U.S. Open final, losing to Kim Clijsters, and reached No. 1 in the world the next year. But she hadn’t been back to a Grand Slam quarterfinal since the 2012 Australian Open.

In the meantime, she was best known for getting engaged to star golfer Rory

McIlroy — then getting dumped in late May after wedding invitations had gone out.

Wozniacki lost in the first round at the French Open soon thereafter and was upset in the fourth round at Wimbledon. She had been playing much better since, though, winning her first title in nine months at Istanbul then dropping a pair of three-set matches to Williams.

Wozniacki also announced a month ago that she planned to run the New York City Marathon on Nov. 2 for charity, somehow squeezing in training during a busy fall season. Seems to be working out well mentally and physically on the tennis court.

“Kind of clears my head,” she said of the extra running.

“I feel more free when I go on court.”

Wozniacki plans to stick around New York after the U.S. Open to attend Fashion Week — including her pal Williams’ show — and get in some running in Central Park. The marathon prep has gone on hiatus the last few days, though.

As Wozniacki deadpanned, “I have a pretty big tournament here that I kind of want to try and win.”

Oregon State linebacker Rommel Mageo (46) points downfield after his team recovered a fumble against Portland State on Saturday.

Beavers pull away from Vikings

BY KEVIN HAMPTON Corvallis Gazette-Times CORVALLIS — It would be easy to pick apart the problems a day after Oregon State’s 29-14 win over Portland State.

Yes, the Beavers struggled in the red zone and wound up attempting seven field goals (making five).

Yes, the Beavers gave up a few big runs by PSU backup quarterback Paris Penn.

Then there were the 13 penalties, some clock management issues and a few assorted miscues.

There are a few red flags, but most can be dealt with in the coming week.

It was another slow start for an OSU team under Mike Riley, but not so slow that the Beavers are 0-1.

“We’ve been in this boat before and lost these games, so it’s good to win,” Riley said after the game. “A lot of things to examine in what we need to do better, though.”

To put the game in perspective, the Beavers rolled

up 505 yards of total offense.

The run game was solid with Storm Woods piling up 126 yards. Woods also scored on a pass from Sean Mannion.

“I thought he played well,” Mannion said.

“Obviously the screen for a touchdown and a couple of big runs. Both him and Terron (Ward) when we were in the four-minute mode, that’s important yardage right there when you need just two first downs to close the game out and I thought they handled it well.”

Mannion had another big day throwing the football with 328 yards. Sure, there were red zone problems, in part due to an offensive line made up of several players still learning their positions and that definitely misses center Isaac Seumalo.

“In the meantime, this group has got to do it,” Riley said.

Offensive line breakdowns in the red zone caused Mannion to press at times, often resulting in misfires.

Mannion said the Beavers take pride in their ability to score touchdowns in the red zone and know they have to capitalize on those chances.

“A lot of it is just basic execution,” Mannion said. “I think there are things we can clean up, but nothing crazy.”

The defense allowed 215 yards, but just 40 in the second half.

The Beavers also came up with three fumble recoveries and two interceptions by Tyrequek Zimmerman.

After settling down in the second half, the Beavers’ defense lived up to its billing.

There was a matter of broken containment of Penn in the first half.

Penn, who is considered to be one of the fastest players on the PSU roster, escaped defenders for a few big runs, including two for touchdowns of 58 and 11 yards.

Penn did not play much last season, so the Beavers weren’t able to see him a lot on film.

PSU starting quarterback

Kieran McDonagh split time with Collin Ramirez in 2013.

“They had another quarterback that was just like Penn last year and we saw that scouting-wise,” defensive end Dylan Wynn said.

“Penn threw the ball maybe three times and rushed over nine, 10 times and at that time we understood that it was more of a wildcat formation, but he could throw the ball so he was that dualthreat quarterback. We just had to adapt to it and we really did that in the second half.”

The Beavers realize they will face several similar quarterbacks down the road.

“Our defense started to get in the right direction of where we should be when it comes to how we would like execute stuff,” Wynn said.

“The big problem is their average rushing yards was over five yards a carry and that’s absolutely unacceptable for our defense. That can’t happen. So we have a bunch of stuff to work on and fix going in the Hawaii game.”

Power clinches first IndyCar title FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — Will Power won his first IndyCar Series championship Saturday night, finishing ninth in the final race and claiming the season title after a career filled with agonizing misses.

Tony Kanaan won the 500-mile, double-points race under the lights at Fontana for his first victory of the season, but Power drove an intelligent race with just enough aggression to preserve his healthy points lead.

After briefly taking the lead late, Power comfortably held off second-place teammate Helio Castroneves and wrapped up Team Penske’s first IndyCar title since 2006.

“That’s 15 years of hard work,” Power said. “Started taking it seriously in 2000, and that’s 15 years of hard work. ... It’s just surreal, man. I can’t believe it.”

Starting from the back after a poor qualifying run, Power patiently picked his way through the field to the front. After a restart with 62 laps to go, the Australian roared into the lead with authority, showing he wasn’t about to back into his first title.

With much more relief than elation, Power celebrated overcoming his still-fresh memories of heartbreak in recent seasons. He led the IndyCar points standings heading into the final race in 2010 and 2012, and he led with two races left in 2011 — but he failed to claim the title each time.

“That was one of the hardest races ever,” Power said. “Oh my God, I was crying. It just went on and on. I slowly made up position, and it was great. ... I’m so mentally exhausted right now. My hands are numb from holding onto the wheel so tight.”

Roger Penske’s team completed a dynamic season by claiming three of the top four spots in the overall standings, with fourth place wrapped up

by Juan Pablo Montoya, who led the most laps at Fontana.

Power and Penske jointly held up an Australian flag on the victory podium before Power raised the Astor Cup. “Tonight shows you the strength of the team and what we did all year,” Penske said. “What a night. Couldn’t ask for anything more.”

Castroneves was essentially finished after a drivethrough penalty for a pit

entry violation with 31 laps to go, sliding out of the groove onto the track on his way into the pits. The penalty paved a championship finish for Power, who has been dinged numerous times this season by pit road penalties.

For the sixth time in his career, Castroneves missed the title despite entering the final two IndyCar races in the top two in the points standings.

“It stings a little bit, but that’s what motivates me,” Castroneves said. “It’s good to be upset when you finish second in a championship. It gives me another reason to come back stronger next year and fix what we can fix to win a championship.”

Power beat Castroneves by 62 points for the title.

Scott Dixon, the 2013 series champion, ended up third in the standings after a strong finish to the season.

Power intentionally dropped back to last on the opening lap, avoiding any chance of early trouble before attempting to work his way up the field. He moved ahead steadily and cautiously during the first 100 laps, cracking the top 10 with little drama while other teams struggled with downforce and speeding penalties.

Kanaan earned his first victory of the season for his new Target Chip Ganassi Racing team, and the 17th of his career. The Brazilian is the 11th driver to win a race this season, tying the North American open-wheel record set in CART in 2000 and 2001.

behind the two-time NFL MVP. Garoppolo was a secondround pick in this year’s draft — the highest coach Bill Belichick has ever selected a quarterback in New England.

Mallet was 14 for 26 for 161 yards and a touchdown this preseason, and his fate seemed decided when

Garoppolo played the entire exhibition finale on Thursday night against the New York Giants. Originally a thirdround draft pick from Arkansas, Mallet played four regular-season games in three years with the Patriots, completing one pass.

In Houston, Mallet will move into the backup role

created when the Texans cut Case Keenum later Sunday.

Keenum had been competing with rookie fourth-round pick Tom Savage for the No. 2 role behind Harvard product Ryan Fitzpatrick.

In the preseason, Garoppolo was 46 for 79 for 618 yards, five touchdowns and an interception.

Tricks retailers use to get us to spend more Who knew that the male brain is hot-wired to believe if a price tag is printed in red, it’s a bargain — even if that item’s not on sale and it’s just the regular price? I didn’t, but I don’t doubt the Oxford University study that found m e n m o s t EVERYDAY o f t e n CHEAPSKATE b e l i e v e that if the tag is printed in red they are saving twice as much as when the very s a m e Mary price tag Hunt is displayed in black and white.

That red tag thing isn’t the only game that retailers play to boost their profit margins.

Every year, the retail industry spends gazillions of dollars to learn how our human minds work and then uses that information to trick us into spending more.

Take a store’s floor coverings for example. Smooth floors guide you in, and then carpet makes you more likely to slow down and browse.

And the deeper the carpet’s pile, the longer you’ll linger.

Next time you’re in a supermarket, pay attention to the flooring. See those large floor tiles in the open areas, but smaller ones in front of the pricey seafood and meat counters? That’s by design.

As you roll your cart over the small tile, the wheels click more often fooling you into walking more slowly.

Check out that area just inside the front door. See the beautiful fresh flowers, perhaps today’s newspaper, flanking some of today’s sale items? That’s by design to coax you through the door.

Once in, you become much more likely to spend some money.

Piped in music can have a huge impact on sales. One researcher reports that when French and German music is placed in a supermarket wine aisle, sales of French and German wines increase respectively. Retailers know that shoppers appeal to the music they grew up with.

When you hear the music you grew up with as a teen, you’re much more likely to buy.

Expect to hear more romantic music in a beauty department, frenzied, high-energy tracks play in a young fashion store.

Unsuspecting customers are easily lured in by common scents. Bakeries rely heavily on powerful aromas to make shoppers feel hungry.

Piles of merchandise all jumbled up and messy sends a signal of “clearance” and rock-bottom prices. Neat piles and displays suggest no one has been looking, so there can’t be any bargains in there.

End aisles in supermarkets represent the best real estate in the store because this area is seen by shoppers to be packed with too-good-to-refuse special offers. Regardless what the signs say, the aisle ends are seen by most shoppers as killer bargains. And when one shopper sees another shopper pause and pile the promotions into his or her cart, that seals the deal.

So, does all of this mean we should stop shopping because every store has some kind of gotcha! trap set to get us? Not at all. In fact, the more you know about how retailers attempt to trick customers into spending beyond what they’d planned before going in, the more savvy you’ll become. And why not?

After all, it really is a game.

And getting a peek into your opponent’s playbook can only improve your odds of coming out a winner.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 Before saying yes to everyone, it will be necessary to get your priorities straight. Your high energy level will cause you to miscalculate how much you can accomplish this year. Put your responsibilities first and foremost to avoid jeopardizing your health or your position.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Someone close to you will cause disappointment. Speak up if you feel you’ve been taken for granted.

Harboring resentment will not solve the problem. Deal with such matters openly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — A travel opportunity is apparent.

Check out locations that you find interesting or that could lead to a lifestyle change. A break from your routine will give you a fresh start.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Be resourceful when it comes to impressing people who can help you further your career.

Networking will lead to an interesting conversation with someone influential. Share your ideas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Prepare to face not only your troubles, but everyone else’s grievances as well. Don’t allow someone’s bad mood to get to you. Plan an activity that brings you joy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Expect to face some dishonest dealing. Keep your plans and intentions a secret to avoid having someone take credit for your ideas. Don’t take sides if an

argument breaks out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Your ability to absorb and utilize information is the key factor that will help you reach your goals. Your skills, insight and innovative approach will generate positive attention and recognition.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t get drawn into a battle of the wills today. Keep a low profile and avoid a situation that could explode in your face. Stick to your own agenda.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you join a variety of groups or participate in numerous activities, you will get to share your feelings and beliefs with interesting individuals. A day trip will help you gain perspective regarding future employment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Moneymaking opportunities are within your reach. An unexpected windfall is apparent. Real estate or investment ventures have the potential to yield a tangible return.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t let a negative person dampen your spirits. Get out and socialize or do some entertaining with lively, fun-loving people, and see how quickly your mood turns around.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Changes are happening in the workplace. Sign up for a business course or conference that will help further your vocational goals. If you want something, you have to go after it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Participate in activities that are conducive to expanding romantic opportunities. Whether you want to spice up an existing relationship or start a new one, now’s the time to act.

BRIDGE Lillian Eichler Watson said, “Don’t reserve your best behavior for special occasions. You can’t have two sets of manners, two social codes — one for those you admire and want to impress, another for those whom you consider unimportant. You must be the same to all people.”

Similarly, don’t reserve your best bridge for special occasions. You must play the same against all opponents.

The deals this week occurred during a social game of bridge, but all four were trying to play their best.

What do you think of the auction?

The first seven calls are fine (although if North-South had been using the support double, South could have doubled one spade to show three-card heart support and any point-count).

With nine points and three spades, West should have raised to two spades.Yes, partner was a passed hand, so game was impossible, and West’s hand was as flat as a pancake, but he ought to have made life harder for North. To bid two spades on the next round gave his opponents a fielder’s choice because North had been able to describe his hand.

Finally, South should have passed out two spades because he also had a pancake. True, that contract can be made, but three diamonds had no chance. South lost two spades, two diamonds and two clubs to go down two — luckily, but understandably, not doubled by West.

Bid your hand immediately and be cautious with 4-3-33 distribution when not in no-
