COOS BAY — To be sure,there are other areas out West that would change places with us in a heartbeat. California is even discussing whether another year of drought is really part of something called a Mega-drought (someone has been watching too muchSharknado).

Thatdoesn’tchangethefactthattheSouthCoast is seeing its weather in a whole new light. The Northwest, in general, has been trending in a new direction.

Researchers looked at temperatures and precipitation from 1901 to 2012 in the Northwest,including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, western Montana and the northwestern tip of Wyoming. They examined four different factors to determine the influence of human activities, including greenhouse gases and aerosols;solarcycles;volcaniceruptions;andnaturally occurring phenomena, including El Niño events and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (something NOAA refers to as“a climate index based upon patterns of variation in sea surface temperature of theNorthPacificfrom1900tothepresent”).

Using what is called a “multilinear regression” approach, they were able to tease out the influences of the different factors. Volcanic activity, for example, led to cooler temperatures in 1961, 1982 and 1991. Likewise, El Niño events led to warming in numerousyears.

PORTLAND — Hundreds of thousands of salmon are making their way from the ocean up the Columbia River this month, a windfall for salmon eaters, and for tribal and recreational fishermen in the Pacific Northwest.

It’s one of the largest runs since dam construction blocked fishes’ river passage. The run is forecast at 1.5 million adult and young adult salmon by year’s end, although fish managers say the final number may turn out to be lower.

“It’s a huge run of fish. It’s been a really good fishing season,” said Rex Zack, a tribal fisherman from the Yakama Nation who has fished the Columbia for 25 years and was hauling in fish near the Bonneville Dam on Friday.

Zack, who runs three boats with the help of his wife, nieces and nephews, said he’s averaging two to three totes of salmon per boat a day — which translates to several thousand pounds of fish. His family keeps some of the salmon to feed themselves and sells the rest.

“It’s really good to see fish coming back,” Zack said.

■

Millions of salmon once returned to the Columbia. For millennia, the fish were central to Native American culture, sustenance and trade, but the runs were decimated by overfishing, logging, mining, agriculture and hydroelectric dams, which cut off passage to upriver spawning areas in native streams.

Fish hatcheries have been used to help rebuild dwindling fish populations, with mixed results, and millions of dollars have been spent on habitat and on dam passage improvements such as fish ladders.

Thirteen species of salmon and steelhead are now listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act in the Columbia River basin.

Some of the fish populations — notably the fall chinook salmon — have increased in recent years. Last year’s record run consisted of nearly 1.2 million adult and young adult Chinook.

By comparison, in 1938, a little over 200,000 fall chinook came back to the river. Historically, the runs have seen spikes in numbers every 10 to 15 years.

Coos Bay Speedway

BY GAIL ELBER For The World

In 1908, the first automobile arrived in Coos Bay via the Coos Bay Wagon Road. If we knew the date the second automobile arrived, we’d know for certain when auto racing began on the South Coast.

Nevertheless, the 1973 opening of Coos Bay Speedway inaugurated modern auto racing here. By the 2000s, the track was languishing. Then current owner Chuck Prather Jr., bought the facility. In 2007, in response to the results of a fan survey, Prather converted the track from asphalt to dirt. Dirt track racing emphasizes driver skills over equipment, and the change enabled local drivers to get into the game and energized the fans. Today,

Coos Bay Speedway is the Oregon Coast’s only auto racing facility.

Although the oval track’s sprint car races draw the biggest crowds, the facility also hosts drag racing on its 1/8-mile asphalt strip and mud drags in the infield. The weekend after Fourth of July is the popular “Eve of Destruction,” featuring fireworks, jumps and stunts.

The facility prides itself on familyfriendliness, said general manager Drake Nelson. Drivers take time to autograph programs for the kids. On periodic “lucky rides” nights, kids can cram into the cars and the drivers take them for a couple of laps — “let them hear the noise and feel the thunder,” Nelson said. Local nonprofits take turns operating the concession stand as a fundraiser, serving treats as diverse as Red Vines and red wines.

COQUILLE — A police officer tackled a 31-year-old North Bend woman Thursday night moments before she was about to pummel a Coquille woman with a crowbar, police say.

According to the Coquille Police Department, dispatches took a 911 call around 11:46 p.m. of a woman threat-

ening people near the Broiler Pub on North Central Boulevard.

Before officers even arrived on scene, they could hear a woman yelling obscenities outside the building.

Police say the first officer on scene saw Tiffany Marie Martinez leaning toward a group of people in an “attack position,” the tire iron gripped like a club and concealed behind her leg.

The officer managed to sneak up behind Martinez and grab her, taking her to the ground.

Police say that once placed in the back of a patrol car, she immediately tried to kick out the vehicle’s windows.

Martinez was booked into Coos County Jail on charges of unlawful use of a weapon, menacing and disorderly conduct.

County commission Woman arrested after candidates debate SCCF debates scope trying to buy gun for felon of funding streams

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

COOS BAY — The South Coast Community Foundation board is on the fence when it comes to how funding should be distributed to area school districts and what restrictions the foundation can place on those funds.

“That’s part of the discussion we need to have,” the four-member board has said at the last few meetings. The current members don’t want to make significant decisions regarding investment strategies and funding distributions until the seven-member board is set in stone.

The board has already received a few letters of interest, but members say they won’t discuss the candidates in open session until the final three are chosen.

Those three then have to be approved by all four SCCF members (Oregon International Port of Coos Bay, Coos County, and the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend).

“I’m beginning to get anxious,” said board member John Sweet. “We need to start reviewing some things like investment and spending strategies ahead of the time the other board members are appointed, otherwise I could see that dragging out until the end of the year.”

While Rick Skinner, of Coos Bay, suggested SCCF should focus funding on

deferred maintenance issues in area school districts, Sweet worried that could be construed as “subsidizing school districts who don’t take care of their own maintenance.”

Board member Terence O’Connor agreed, noting some funding should go toward facilities but that SCCF “shouldn’t become a paternalistic foundation.”

That brings the board to a key question: How detailed does the board want to be in allocating funds and requiring schools to use those funds in specific ways?

“I would prefer to have a broad scope rather than getting deep (in the weeds),” O’Connor said.

There’s a difference between holding schools accountable and micromanaging, he noted.

The board will meet again 3:30 p.m. Oct. 1 at South Coast ESD to go through letters of interest for the three vacant seats.

COOS BAY — Oregon State Police arrested a 31year-old Coos Bay woman Wednesday evening after she allegedly tried to buy a firearm for a convicted felon she had a restraining order against.

Latisha Elizabeth Rader is charged with unlawful purchase of a firearm, being a felon in possession of a firearm and providing false information in connection with the transfer of a firearm.

She’s also charged with conspiracy to commit unlawful purchase of a firearm.

The series of events leading to her arrest began after the State Police Firearms Unit reported a background check failure at Fred Meyer because of a felony conviction.

Rader had tried to buy a gun, and had marked “no” on a question on the federal background check form asking if she had any felony convictions.

In the process of looking up her information, police discovered she had a restraining order against 51year-old Robert Connolly, who had met her at Fred Meyer to have her purchase a gun on his behalf.

Connolly is also a convicted felon.

In an entry in the OSP Coos Bay Area Command log, Trooper Josh Mullins wrote that Rader readily admitted her crimes when contacted at her home.

“She admitted to holding a firearm at Fred Meyer, to conspiring with Connolly to purchase the firearm for him,

with is money, and to knowing Connolly was restrained from contacting her, and prohibited from possessing a firearm,” Mullins wrote.

Rader also told police Connolly was in her home at that very moment, and they arrested him for violating the restraining order.

COQUILLE — Two county commissioner candidates will face off in a forum next month. Incumbent Coos County Commissioner John Sweet and candidate Don Gurney will field questions from the audience 7 p.m. Oct. 8 in the Coquille Community Center’s small auditorium, 117 N. Birch St. in Coquille, moderated by David Jennings.

Call 541-396-5131 for more information.

Connolly is also charged with conspiracy to commit unlawful purchase of a firearm.

A MINUTE MESSAGE From

NORM RUSSELL

AreYou Hearing

Having a sudden hearing loss can be a frightful thing. A friend’s son came running into her bedroom in the middle of the night crying out “Mom, mom, I can’t hear anything.”

She said to him,“Well we can’t do anything about it now, go back to bed and we’ll go see a doctor in the morning.” He returned to his bedroom and spent the night perusing the internet to see what would cause a sudden loss of hearing.

We will often tell our children, “Can’t you hear what I am saying?” Or “Didn’t you hear me?” In this case, it is not a hearing loss that is the problem, it is a lack of understanding or a refusal to obey the parent.

Jesus used the ability to hear, not in a physical sense, but rather to apply what has been said. He would say something like, “He who has an ear, let him hear . . .” He was saying take what has been said and apply it to your life.

It may be that many of us are no longer listening to what God has said. We read His word, we know what He has said, but are we applying the message? Are we really listening or are we simply choosing to ignore Him? Come worship with us Sunday.

Many tools in the development box Price is a town in central Utah, the seat of Carbon County. With a name like Carbon, you can guess what fueled its early economy — coal.

Mining ruled until a a little more than decade ago. Then some mines closed and others mechanized.

Slowly but surely, 7,000 mining jobs in the region dropped to 600.

Economic disaster loomed. The average household income in 2000 was $31,600.

Today the average household income is more than $38,000.

Businesses are surviving and new ventures are coming in.

Price, and Carbon County, simply chose not to give up. Folks there finally let go of big mining and got creative.

Tami Ursenbach is the county’s economic development director.

She said that one of the first things residents did was identify existing

Our view ‘There is no magic bullet.’ Anyone involved in community and economic development should live by that mantra. local businesses and made sure their needs were being attended to, from basic infrastructure to transportation needs.

The next task was to identify assets, in this case a regional airport with land to spare. The county is currently reaching out to aerospace companies to relocate or open new facilities.

But what was really innovative was forming coalitions with neighboring counties. A seven-county economic coalition was established just last year that’s looking for regionwide solutions to infrastructure and transportation

issues. And recently, another sixcounty infrastructure coalition was established as its own governmental entity. The status as a governmental body allows the infrastructure coalition to apply for state and federal loans and grants.

“The coalitions allow us to have a lot more leverage than a single county,” Ursenbach said. “And the state and the federal government have noticed.”

The county is also starting to work with its local travel and visitors bureau to attract more tourists.

Ursenbach said that, in all, there are nearly 30 separate projects or initiatives currently underway to bring in new industry, large and small.

“There is no magic bullet,” she said.

And one other change the county made — no more tax incentives.

Instead, they offer new industry tax credits, based on the company’s performance.

“I think that we’ve all realized that incentives don’t work,” Ursenbach said.

Indeed, a recent article in PlannersWeb.com, an online magazine for civic planners, calls tax incentives “an intellectually and (until recently) politically easy way to make it look like we are doing something good.”

Carbon County isn’t taking the easy way. They’re taking the hardwork, slog-through way. Folks there are thinking outside the box, looking for opportunity in all shapes and sizes.

And, they’re succeeding.

We should think about that.

Welcome back, Buche While the Bandon School District keeps on trying to find a new superintendent, good thing the old one never left town. The school board this week asked Diane Buche to come out of retirement and take the helm on an interim basis while the search for her replacement continues. Seems the board is having a hard time finding anyone they felt could fill her shoes.

At least she won’t have to spend time figuring out where her office is.

Little Einsteins Our local schools have the right idea on how to handle state-mandated achievement tests on kindergarteners.

“I never call it an assessment,” said Blossom Gulch Elementary teacher kindergarten Carli Ainsworth this week. “We make it more like we’re playing a game.” Teachers will use the test results to see how much their students improve through the year. Understandable — they’re just little kids still learning how to tie shoes, for Pete’s sake.

Braaains Of all the news to come out of the South Coast this week to get national attention, it’s this: “Woman playing ‘zombie game’ charged with attempted burglary.”

Seriously, The Associated Press picked up our story mere minutes after we posted it online Tuesday, and, before you can take a bite of brain, it’s on the national wire.

Some national image — zombie freaks.

Cruisin’ cranberries New to the Bandon Cranberry Festival this year — a Saturday night street dance and a Cranberry Cruise-In. Cars will participate in the parade then be on display on Second Street in Old Town. Cool! Can’t get enough car shows, for our money. Sure, it’s the 68th year for the cranberry bash, but who says you can’t teach an old festival new tricks?

Not good news Yes, we know ISIL represents a huge threat in the Middle East, and yes, America is the leader of the free world. We understand the escalation is probably necessary. Doesn’t mean we have to like it — or the fact that we may never get the chance to remove the weekly military death toll you see below.

That’s sad.

A vote for Leif for commissioner I would like to take this opportunity to express my support for Gary Leif for commissioner.

I have known Gary for many years, and he has always been a hardworking, dedicated businessman. He has a great ability

to negotiate and bring people together. He was the youngest first citizen for the Winston Dillard Chamber of Commerce, where he also served in many capacities and its president. He has tirelessly volunteered for many community boards over the years and brings talent, leadership, intelligence and experience to the commission.

Douglas County would be well served by Gary Leif as our next commissioner.

It’s a great time to become engaged and participate in the democratic process of elections! With the General Election right around the corner — Nov. 4, now’s the time to ensure you are properly registered with your most current and mailing residential addresses, so that you’ll be sent the correct ballot style to vote and return to the Election office.

Sept. 23 is National Voter Registration Day. Citizens across these United States are encouraged to register to vote or update their registration.

Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown, along with all of Oregon’s 36 county clerks, are looking forward to giving every eligible Oregonian the opportunity to vote.

Registering to vote (or updating your registration) is simple and quick through an online system at www.oregonvotes.gov. Click on “My Vote.” The system prompts you through the completion of a digital voter registration card.

These records are uploaded to our election offices each

evening, so new registrations and updates are processed every morning.

The standard hard copy card is also available at every post office, most libraries and city halls, and certainly here at the county courthouse. Just complete the card in its entirety and return it to the election office.

The filing deadline has come and gone, and we are preparing the layout of the various ballot styles that will be sent to each active, registered voter for the general election — dependent on an elector’s residential address. Remember, your residential address determines your eligible ballot style. For example, if your residence address is in North Bend, you will not receive a ballot that contains a measure for the city of Bandon. This is the reason it is very important to have current residential addresses for all active, registered voters.

Hence, updating your voter registration after a move is

important. Ballots are not forwardable through the U.S. Postal Service, so if an elector moves and neglects to update their registration, the ballot will be sent to the former address and will be returned to us as When this undeliverable. occurs, your registration record is placed on an inactive status until we receive an updated record from you.

The general election of Nov. 4 will have ballots containing federal and state offices: U.S. senator, U.S. representative — 4th District, governor, state representative — District 1, state representative — District 9. It will also include county offices: commissioner — Position 2, county clerk and the office of sheriff. Each city within the county will have the offices of mayor and city councilors on the ballot, and the Coos Soil and Water District will have positions on the ballot, as well. Each ballot will contain seven state measures

either referred to the people by the Legislature, or petitioned to be on the ballot through the initiative or referendum process.

There will also be a countywide initiative measure and a referral measure for those voters within the city limits of Bandon.

You can track your ballot and your registration status by visiting the Oregon Secretary of website at State’s http://sos.oregon.gov/voting/P ages/myballot.aspx. Visit our County Election webpage at http://www.co.coos.or.us/Dep artments/CountyClerk/Electio ns.aspx, for more information and election results on Nov. 4.

Election season has begun!

Celebrate National Voter Registration Day on Sept. 23 and register to vote or verify your current registration status. Get ready for campaign signs, phone calls, mailers and public forums! The main mailing of ballots will be Oct. 17, with military and out-of-state ballots mailed earlier.

It’s an exciting time. Be sure to join in!

Terri L. Turi is the Clerk for Coos County.

Obituaries and State Written thank yous show your appreciation DEAR ABBY: I just turned 14 and had a small party with relatives to celebrate it. A few days later my mom bought me thank-you cards and said I should send them out.

I told the people “thank you” for the gifts in person.

I don’t think thank-you cards are necessary for something as small as birthdays. Shouldn’t they be reserved for things like weddings and baby showers?

Mom and I are anxious to see your answer. — NO THANK-YOU DEAR NO THANKYOU: Listen to your mother because she’s trying to tell you something important.

When people do something nice for you — such as give you a birthday or Christmas gift — their thoughtfulness and generosity should be acknowledged with a written thank-you. It’s not a waste of your time.

People are inclined DEAR to be more generous to those who show their a p p re c i a tion, as you will learn in many situations as time passes.

JEANNE DEAR PHILLIPS ABBY: My sister has a 1-year-old baby boy we all adore. He is a cute little guy.

My sister is understandably proud, but sometimes I feel it goes too far.

She sends pictures of him with captions like, “Cutest Baby Ever,” or “He’s the BEST!” She dresses him in shirts that say, “FAVORITE” or “The Greatest.”

I feel it is rude to other parents and insensitive to other kids because it implies that other people’s children don’t measure up. Also, there are some adorable little cousins living in the same household as the “perfect” baby.

We ALL have attractive children, but not all of us feel the need to put others down in order to compliment our offspring. Am I overly sensitive, or is my sister tactless? — IDAHO AUNTIE DEAR IDAHO AUNTIE: Your sister is over-themoon about her baby boy.

Shirts like this for toddlers are very common. The children in that household are probably too young to read what’s printed on the Tshirts and feel slighted, so simmer down and don’t take it personally.

DEAR ABBY: Some time ago we were given a very expensive dining room set by relatives. No one else in the family wanted it, and we took it because our dining room pieces were old.

Now we would like to sell this set and buy something less formal and more comfortable. Do we have any obligation to the original owners? — NEEDS ADVICE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR NEEDS ADVICE: If the dining room set was “lent” to you by the relatives, you should consult them. However, if it was GIVEN to you, then you have no obligation to do so and you may dispose of it as you wish.

Two towns have too much arsenic in their water VALE (AP) — A treatment plant designed in 2005 to extract arsenic from the water in the Eastern Oregon town Vale isn’t working.

City officials tell the Ontario Argus Observer they’ve shut down the two wells that contribute the most arsenic to the water supply in the town of 2,000 people, along with the plant.

They say it’s been costing $5,000 a month to wash the filters at the plant that get clogged with sulfates.

Still, the town’s water often is above the federal arsenic standard of about 10 parts per billion.

The city has a $150,000 grant to study the water system and come up with a fix.

Lava tube near Bend getting a makeover

BY DYLAN J. DARLING The Bulletin

SUNRIVER (AP) — Lava River Cave south of Bend will have a new look next spring, in time for its 50th anniversary season.

Construction workers are busy at the popular tourist stop off U.S. Highway 97, taking out old staircases and boardwalks and preparing to install replacements. For now, the revamp is focused on the first 650 feet of the mile-long lava tube.

“This is just the first stage of it,” said Mathew Barnett, a civil engineer with the Deschutes National Forest in Bend.

While not drastic, the $320,000 reconstruction will be noticeable in the first section of the cave. On Thursday, Barnett walked into the mouth of Lava River Cave, crossing over old stone steps with the handrails already removed.

“We are keeping the stone stairs,” he said, “this being a unique feature to the cave.”

But deeper into the cave the narrow steel staircases and boardwalks will be replaced , including a portion that passes close to the right cave wall as people descend into the lava tube. There, visitors often bumped their

Inmate given early release for 1998 killing GRANTS PASS (AP) — A judge has granted early release from prison for a man convicted in the 1998 carjack murder of the owner of a Rogue River wilderness lodge.

The Grants Pass Daily Courier reports a judge ruled Friday that Trevor Walraven can be released from the Oregon State Penitentiary in 45 days, cutting in half his 30-year sentence.

The ruling by visiting Judge Timothy Gerking in Grants Pass came after a string of witnesses — college professors, prison staff, psychologists and his attorney — testified Walraven had turned his life around.

Walraven was 14 when he carjacked Black Bar Lodge owner Bill Hull on a country road near Sunny Valley, forced him to drive to a remote logging road, and then shot him in the head from behind.

heads on the rock.

Also with safety in mind, the new steps and boardwalks will be wider than before — 4 feet as opposed to about 2 1?2 feet. The wider walkways will allow people heading in and out of the cave to pass one another. The new boardwalks will be made of galvanized steel; the old ones were steel over a wooden frame.

The new boardwalks will be higher off the ground than the old ones.

The Deschutes National Forest closed Lava River Cave early this season to allow time for construction work before bats come looking for a place to stay over the winter.

“It usually closes Sept. 30, but this year it closed on (Monday),” said Cristina Peterson, lead ranger at Newberry National Volcanic Monument, which includes the cave.

The bat factor made for a unique element to this construction job, said project supervisor John Winston of Catworks in Battle Ground, Washington.

Hunt is still on for missing Kentucky men PORTLAND (AP) — Investigators hope hikers taking advantage of a warm weekend around Mount Hood will turn up clues to the disappearance of two Kentucky men who appear to have come to Oregon to camp in the woods but didn’t hit the trail.

State police said Friday the two went to a ranger station Sept. 2 and said they were interested in hiking, perhaps on the Pacific Crest Trail.

But authorities found their car abandoned along a highway with a lot of camping gear inside.

Police say 59-year-old John Kevin Wood and his 32year-old son Jason Wood of Bardstown haven’t been in touch with family or neighbors since mid-August.

Yachts need maritime pilot for Columbia ASTORIA (AP) — Just like any vessel over 100 feet long, yachts are required by Oregon law to use a maritime pilot to cross the Columbia River Bar, where the river meets the Pacific Ocean.

Nation Man wins fight to get same-sex union recognized PHOENIX (AP) — In a ruling that calls into question Arizona’s gay marriage ban, a judge handed a victory Friday to a gay man who lost his spouse to cancer last month and was denied death benefits because the state prohibits same-sex unions.

U.S. District Judge John Sedwick allowed Fred McQuire to be listed on his spouse’s death certificate, marking another development in the national debate over gay marriage as state and federal judges across the country have struck down bans in more than a dozen states at a rapid rate since a landmark U.S. Supreme

Court ruling last year.

Friday’s decision only applied to McQuire, but the judge signaled that Arizona’s gay marriage ban may not hold up after he hears a broader challenge to the constitutionality of the law.

“The court has not yet decided whether there is a conflict between Arizona law and the Constitution, but the court has decided that it is probable that there is such a conflict that Arizona will be required to permit same-sex marriages,” said Sedwick, who was nominated to the federal bench in 1992 by President George H.W. Bush.

Charges in dead babies case; neighbors soul-search BLACKSTONE, Mass.

(AP) — A woman who lived in a squalid, vermin-infested home where the bodies of three infants were found was charged Friday with covering up the deaths, while neighbors said they wish they had acted themselves to call attention to the house with the foul smell and the shades that were always drawn.

Erika Murray, 31, was arraigned on charges including fetal death concealment, witness intimidation and permitting substantial injury to a

child. But basic facts remain a mystery or aren’t being explained by authorities.

Among them: why it took authorities so long to search the home even after removing four other children from it last month; whether the babies were newborns or fetuses; whether the woman was the mother of all the children; the nature of a 2007 report of abuse or neglect at the house that was not deemed a problem; and the identity of a man who also lived there.

Prosecutors target credit card thieves overseas WASHINGTON (AP) — Criminals from around the world buy and sell stolen credit card information with ease in today’s digital age.

But if they commit their crime entirely outside the United States, they may be beyond the reach of federal prosecutors.

Justice Department officials are seeking a tougher law to combat overseas credit card trafficking, an increasingly lucrative crime that crosses national boundaries.

Authorities say the current statute is too weak because it allows people in other countries to avoid prosecution if they stay outside the United States when buying and selling the data and don’t pass their illicit business through the U.S. The Justice Department is asking Congress to amend the law to make it illegal for an international criminal to

US retail sales rise in August on auto sales WASHINGTON (AP) — Auto buying drove U.S. retail sales higher in August, a possible sign that job growth in recent months has led to accelerated consumer spending.

The Commerce Department said Friday that seasonally adjusted retail sales rose 0.6 percent compared with the prior month. Sales are up 5 percent in the past 12 months. July sales were also revised upward from flat to a 0.3 percent increase.

Motor vehicles accounted for roughly half of the August increase.

Buying also picked up at restaurants and for furniture, electronics, sporting goods and building materials.

Those gains were partially offset by falling sales at gasoline stations and department stores. that suggest The figures Americans’ reluctance to spend has faded somewhat, even though their wages have yet to increase by much.

The increase in retail sales could

boost overall economic growth because consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of the economic activity.

Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said that the sales increase points to stronger economic growth through the end of the year and start of 2015.

“With further jobs gains, rises in income growth and a loosening in credit conditions in the pipeline, consumption growth should strengthen in the fourth quarter and into next year too,” Dales said.

But there are mixed signals from other indicators regarding consumers.

The University of Michigan said its index of consumer sentiment rose to 82.5 in August from 81.8 in July. But much of that increase was due to greater optimism about jobs, rising incomes, and increasing wealth among higher-income groups.

Obama’s war plan rattles Dem, GOP Senate nominees WASHINGTON (AP) — In a nation weary of war, yet alarmed by the prospect of an emerging threat, President Barack Obama’s plan to strike Islamic State militants is ruffling the usual left-right politics in several races that will decide control of the Senate.

Republicans who have hammered the president on a variety of issues for months have tamped down their rhetoric and, frequently, are avoiding taking a clear stand on his proposal. Some of the nation’s most endangered incumbent Senate Democrats, meanwhile, have expressed skepticism to portions of Obama’s plan, saying they fear a new plunge into a new Middle East war where supposed allies can become enemies.

Others want to talk about something else, or are trying to avoid talking about the issue at all.

The complexities, leading to mixed and cautious responses from both sides, mean the issue might not matter much at all come Election Day, when Republicans need a net gain of six seats to take control of the Senate.

Can Obama wage war without consent of Congress?

The Associated Press

Supporters hug after a memorial service Friday in Amory, Miss. Police say Timothy Ray Jones Jr., 32, killed his three boys and two girls, wrapped their bodies in separate trash bags and drove around for days across several states with their decomposing bodies before dumping them on a rural hilltop in Alabama.

Slain 5 kids loved to play, wrestle with their dad child, like hanging on to you.

That was Elaine.”

Gabriel loved to watch Care Bears and “VeggieTales.” Elias — who Maranto called Eli — loved fishing and dressing up like Spiderman. Nahtahn liked to fish, ride his bike and dress up like Ironman.

Merah put on princess outfits, played with dolls and liked brushing people’s hair.

And “they all loved wrestling with dad,” Maranto said, the only specific mention of the father at the memorial.

“They loved going to the park. They loved swimming.

They loved chocolate cookies and a chocolate fountain.”

About 400 miles away in Lexington, South Carolina, their father waived his first court appearance Friday because he is being “portrayed as a monster” and needs a mental health evaluation as soon as possible, his attorney said.

AMORY, Miss. (AP) — The five children who authorities say were killed by their father loved to dress up as superheroes, play in the park and pool, and pose for the camera, always smiling.

And they loved “wrestling with their dad.”

At their memorial in this rural Mississippi town Friday, about 100 people, some who didn’t even know the Jones children, watched a slide show of their short lives.

Mourners in wooden church pews cried and soft music accompanied the images of Merah, 8; Elias, 7; Nahtahn, 6; Gabriel, 2; and Elaine, 1.

Associate minister Derrick Maranto said Elaine loved to give high fives, dance and act as a “leg ornament.”

“That is, whether you find yourself at Walmart or find yourself at the grocery store, or even at home, you feel something heavy on your leg,” Maranto said. “It’s a

WASHINGTON (AP) — On the cusp of intensified airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, President Barack Obama is using the legal grounding of the congressional authorizations President George W. Bush relied on more than a decade ago to go to war. But Obama has made no effort to ask Congress to explicitly authorize his own conflict.

The White House said again Friday that Bush-era congressional authorizations for the war on al-Qaida and the Iraq invasion give Obama authority to act without new approval by Congress under the 1973 War Powers Act. That law, passed during the Vietnam War, serves as a constitutional check on presidential power to declare war without congressional consent. It requires presidents to notify Congress within 48 hours of military action and limits the use of military forces to no more than 60 days unless Congress authorizes force or declares war.

“It is the view of this administration and the president’s national security team specifically that additional authorization from Congress is not required, that

He said there were no plans to seek consent from Congress. “At this point we have not, and I don’t know of any plan to do so at this point,” he said.

The administration’s tightly crafted legal strategy has short-circuited the congressional oversight that Obama once championed.

The White House’s use of post-9/11 congressional force authorizations for the broadening air war has gen-

erated a chorus of criticism that the justifications are, at best, a legal stretch.

“Committing American lives to war is such a serious question, it should not be left to one person to decide, even if it’s the president,” said former Illinois Rep. Paul Findley, 92, who helped write the War Powers Act. As a U.S. senator from Illinois running for president in 2007, Obama tried to prevent Bush’s administration from taking any military action against Iran unless it was explicitly authorized by Congress. A Senate resolu-

tion Obama sponsored died in committee.

Nearly seven years later, U.S. fighter jets and unmanned drones armed with missiles have flown 150 airstrikes against the Islamic State group over the past five weeks in Iraq under Obama’s orders — even though he has yet to formally ask Congress to authorize the expanding war. Obama told the nation Wednesday he would unleash U.S. strikes inside Syria for the first time, along with intensified bombing in Iraq, as part of “a steady, relentless effort” to root out Islamic State extremists. Obama has not said how long the air campaign will last.

The White House has cited the 2001 military authorization Congress gave Bush to attack any countries, groups or people who planned, authorized, committed or aided the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Earnest on Thursday described the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, generally known as the AUMF, as one that Obama “believes continues to apply to this terrorist organization that is operating in Iraq and Syria.”

CHICAGO (AP) — In a stunningly fast decision, a federal appeals court in reinstated Chicago Wisconsin’s voter photo identification law on Friday — just hours after three Republicanappointed judges heard arguments on reactivating the hotly debated law in time for the November election.

In a brief order, a threejudge panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago said, “The State of Wisconsin may, if it wishes ... enforce

SALMON 67,501 fish over ladder in 1 day Continued from Page A1 460,000 adult chinook have passed over the Bonneville Dam’s four fish ladders, and the run is a little more than halfway done. About 49,000 jack chinook — the young adult fish — also have made it back over the dam. Bonneville is the first dam salmon cross in their migration upriver.

Monday’s 67,521 Chinook were the largest single-day

return since the dam was built in 1938. The daily count of chinook dropped by Friday, leading fish mangers to predict the run may not be as large as originally forecast. On Thursday, the last available daily count, 26,034 fish passed over the dam.

Despite the sizeable numbers, some fishermen say the fish aren’t biting because of hot, windy weather.

“Fishing has been spotty considering the number of fish in the river,” said Josh Frederick, a fishing guide out of Hood River. “If it cools down, it might pick up.”

Fish managers attribute the

large run to excellent ocean conditions, improved habitat for juveniles heading out into the ocean, and better fish passage over the dam.

“It’s an indication that a lot of work we’re doing has been benefiting the fish,” said Jason Sweet, fisheries biologist with Power the Bonneville Administration. “It’s thanks to the partnership between federal, tribal, state and nonprofit organizations in the region.”

Sweet concedes that a lot of the returning fish are hatchery-bred, a criticism by some environmentalists who say wild runs are nowhere near

being recovered.

That could pose a challenge for long-term success of the runs, because hatchery fish lack the life history diversity and genetic diversity that wild fish have — and hence lack the resiliency to changing environmental conditions, said Bill Bakke, director of the Portland-based Native Fish Society. That results in “boom and bust” runs, with periodic large returns every 10 years,he said.

“If there’s good habitat and good ocean conditions, they’re successful,” Bakke said. “Otherwise, they languish.”

Cobbling coalition for Iraq, Syria no easy task

The Associated Press

Boda resident Bashir Bebe stands March 5 near where a dozen Muslims were buried in the town of Boda, Central Africa Republic. More than 5,000 people have died in sectarian violence in the Central African Republic since December, according to an Associated Press tally.

AP: More than 5,000 dead in C. African Republic GUEN, Central African Republic (AP) — More than 5,000 people have died in sectarian violence in Central African Republic since December, according to an Associated Press tally, sugthat a U.N. gesting peacekeeping mission approved months ago is coming too late for thousands.

The AP found at least 5,186 people were killed in fighting between Muslims and Christians, based on a count of bodies and numbers gathered from survivors, priests, imams and aid work-

ers in more than 50 of the hardest-hit communities.

That’s more than double the death toll of at least 2,000 cited by the United Nations in April, when it approved the mission. There has been no official count since.

U.N. peacekeepers prepare to take over from African forces on Monday, bringing about 2,000 extra troops to the country. That will fall short of the almost 7,000 more that were authorized in April, with the rest expected by early 2015. Yet violence in the Central African Republic has only spread since.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Assembling a coalition to fight the militants from the Islamic State group is proving to be a complicated affair.

France is all in, but would like to invite Iran — against the wishes of the United States. The U.S. is pressing Turkey, which has resisted publicly endorsing the global strategy against the extremists, who are holding 49 Turkish hostages.

Many world leaders want to act quickly, before the Islamic State group gains more territory. But it’s crucial to reach agreement on what the coalition is doing and why, particularly after bitter diplomatic divisions created by the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq a decade ago.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said as many as 40 countries have offered various levels of support — from humanitarian aid to cracking down on illicit cross-border funding and fighters that are flowing to the insurgents — to providing intelligence and supplies to rebels in Syria and security forces in Iraq.

But after more than a week of meetings with top NATO and Mideast officials, Kerry refused to say

The Associated Press

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, left, and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry speak before a meeting Friday in Ankara, Turkey.

Kerry is in the region to speak with leaders about strategies to address the threat from the Islamic State, a militant extremist group.

Friday precisely how a global campaign that is being pieced together by the U.S. would succeed in destroying the Islamic State group, which has taken over large parts of Iraq and Syria.

The U.S. needs serious support from regional players if it hopes to weaken the militants over the long term.

Kerry has persuaded key Arab allies to join a coalition of Mideast nations that pledged to curb the extremists’ resources, repudiate their ideology, provide humanitarian aid to its victims and potentially

contribute to a military campaign.

He’s had less success in getting Turkey to join in.

Visiting Ankara on Friday, he pressed Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu to harden borders against fighters and funding flowing to the Islamic State militant group.

Turkey sits on the front line of the Islamic State group’s battleground in Iraq and safe haven in Syria. It already has helped refugees and cracked down on suspicious cross-border traffic from both countries.

Oscar Pistorius convicted of culpable homicide PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — A judge convicted Oscar Pistorius of culpable homicide Friday in the death of his girlfriend, ruling that the former track star was negligent when he opened fire in his home after hearing what he said sounded like an intruder in a bathroom in the middle of the night.

The judge acquitted Pistorius of a more serious murder charge, a day after saying that the onetime Olympian could have called security guards or screamed for help on the balcony instead of grabbing his handgun and blasting multiple rounds through the door of a toilet stall.

Under South African law, culpable homicide is the illegal killing of someone through irresponsible behavior. The charge is comparable to reckless homicide or manslaughter.

Toronto’s Rob Ford withdraws re-election bid TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford withdrew his re-election bid Friday as he seeks treatment for a tumor in his abdomen, dramatically ending a campaign he had doggedly pursued despite a stint in rehab and calls for him to quit amid drug and alcohol scandals.

But he announced his brother Rob Ford would run in Toronto Mayor his place, saying “we cannot go backwards.”

Analysts say the decision is unlikely to change the outcome of the mayoral election that Ford had been widely expected to lose after a string of revelations involving cracksmoking, public drunkenness and outrageous behavior.

But Toronto won’t see the last of Ford anytime soon. He said he has opted to seek a City Council seat representing a district in his home suburb of Etobicoke, where his brash everyman style and conservative fiscal policies first gained a faithful following that became known as Ford Nation.

Doug Ford, a city councilor who has been the mayor’s most fiery defender, submitted his papers to run for mayor Friday, the deadline to sign up. He will face two other major candidates.

Pakistan nabs militants linked to attack on Malala ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s army said Friday that it has arrested 10 militants suspected of involvement in the 2012 on attack teenage activist M a l a l a Yo u sa fza i , won who w o r l d acclaim she after was shot in Malala the head by Yousafzai the Taliban for advocating gender equality and education for women.

Army spokesman Gen. Asim Saleem Bajwa said the detained men attacked Yousafzai, then 15, on orders from Mullah Fazlullah, the head of the Pakistani Taliban.

The army is currently waging a major offensive against the extremist group in North Waziristan, a tribal region along the border with Afghanistan that has long been a militant stronghold.

“The entire gang involved in the murder attempt... has been busted,” Bajwa said, adding that the “terrorists” were part of Tehrik-e-Taliban, an umbrella group encompassing militant organizations across the tribal areas.

Bulldogs crush Lions THE WORLD

Coquille quarterback Zach Breitkreutz gets away from Anthony Stoddard of Myrtle Point and has time to pass to the end zone for a two-point conversion after Coquille’s first touchdown Friday night.

Coquille edges rival Myrtle Point

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

COQUILLE — The emotionfilled rivalry football game between Myrtle Point and host Coquille came down to errors.

Myrtle Point’s defense was outstanding all night, but the Bobcats couldn’t overcome a few mistakes as the Red Devils prevailed 16-8 Friday night.

“It’s an ugly win, but it’s a win,” said Coquille coach David Thomason. “It’s something we can learn from and improve on.”

Coquille managed just seven first downs all night and had just 101 total yards when the seven sacks of quarterback Zach Breitkreutz by the aggressive Bobcats were added in.

But the Red Devils also forced four turnovers, the biggest a fumble recovery by Dustin Davis inside Myrtle Point’s 10-yard line in the final minute of the third quarter.

Two plays after that, Keith Christensen plowed through a big hole in the line and got to the end zone for an 8-yard scoring run to break an 8-all tie.

“It was good blocking,” Christensen said of the touchdown. “Everyone did their assignments.”

Christensen added the twopoint conversion and the Bobcats never threatened in the fourth quarter.

But the Bobcats earned plenty of praise from their coach and opponents for their effort in the game.

“They played good,” Coquille quarterback Zach Breitkreutz said of the Bobcats. “They came out ready and we didn’t. They did a good job.”

Austin Layton grabs an interception from Myrtle Point in the first half of their game Friday night in Coquille. The Red Devils forced four turnovers in the win.

The Red Devils were much better last week, in a loss to Gold Beach, Breitkreutz said.

“We just came out flat,” he said.

And the Bobcats took advantage.

Myrtle Point harassed Breitkreutz nearly every time he dropped back, with Damon Price and Jared Chamley doing much of the work.

“Defensively, I thought we were awesome,” Myrtle Point coach Marty Stallard said. “That’s the best effort we’ve had in a long time.”

The Bobcats also moved the ball better than Coquille most of the night.

Anthony Stoddard had more yards than the Red Devils himself, with 31 carries for 125 yards. But he also was held to 3 yards or less on 16 of his final 21 carries.

“Our defense, we gave up some

big plays,” Breitkreutz said. “But in the end, we held them.”

The turnovers were a big part of that.

The Red Devils got an interception by Austin Layton on Myrtle Point’s second possession, taking over near midfield. They moved 52 yards in 11 plays — by far their best offensive drive of the night — with Breitkreutz scoring on a 1-yard keeper with 2:35 to go in the first quarter.

They later added a fumble recovery by Tyler Newuschwander and an interception by Clayton Dieu.

Myrtle Point also forced two turnovers — fumbles sandwiched around Dieu’s interception in the opening two minutes of the third quarter.

The Bobcats got their touchdown after Chamley sacked Breitkreutz on a fourth down play at Myrtle Point’s 38-yard line.

Stoddard rambled 39 yards on the Bobcats’ first play of the ensuing drive and Isaac Godfrey later finished it off with a 3-yard run.

But the Bobcats only had two first downs in the final quarter. “ O u r offense sputtered and More online: s p u r t e d ,” See the gallery at Stallard said. theworldlink.com.

Still, he was encouraged by his team’s effort.

“I’m proud of them,” he said. “We’re going to get better and better.”

Coquille expects the same.

“I’m excited for the rest of the season, because our team can get a lot better,” Christensen said.

Christensen played a huge role in Friday’s win, filling in for running back Mo Faith, who suffered a shoulder injury in the loss to Gold Beach.

“I was a little nervous,” he said.

“Once it started, it was just practice.”

Christensen finished with 57 yards on 14 carries to lead the Red Devils.

“He did a heck of a job,” Thomason said, adding that the team hopes Faith will be able to return in the coming weeks.

“Mo Faith is the heart and soul of this team,” Thomason said.

Next week, Coquille visits Bandon and Myrtle Point travels to Powers for a game in which the Bobcats will play 11-man on offense and Powers will play its traditional eight-man when it has the ball.

North Bend got a slice of revenge Friday, trouncing rival Cottage Grove 56-15 on the road.

The Bulldogs dominated the game from the get go, jumping out to a 35-0 lead after just 15:06 of gametime.

“I felt like the kids came out the first quarter ready to play,” North Bend head coach Gary Prince said.

“We executed well on offense and defense and made things happen.”

North Bend last played Cottage Grove in the state semifinals last year, falling in a devastating 37-34 loss that the Bulldogs led deep into the fourth quarter. The Lions have handed North Bend three of its four losses the past two seasons.

“Last year was last year,” Prince said. “Anytime you play on the road you will face some challenges and we did. Cottage Grove is a proud program and I have nothing but respect and admiration for how they play the game.”

North Bend’s surge started with a 73-yard pass from Cam Lucero to Levi Rider that took the ball down the 10. The next play, Lucero ran in the first of many North Bend scores Friday.

The next drive, Lucero took part in another touchdown, this time through the air, with a 60yard pass to receiver Drew Matthews on a deep post route.

Lucero went right back to Matthews the next possession, finding him on the second play of the next drive on another deep post from 34 yards out.

Two plays later, on the first play of the second quarter, Cottage Grove quarterback Blake Sentman tried to hit Payton Presley, only to have the ball slip through his hands and into Trey Woods who returned it for a pick-six.

After another Cottage Grove three-and-out, Luke Lucero punched in a 7-yard run to close out North Bend’s scoring in the first half and balloon the lead to 35-0.

“A lot of credit to our offensive line,” Prince said. “They had a tough task of blocking an active defensive front that blitzed nonstop. Defensively our front seven did a great job on stopping the inside run. (Nose tackle) Hunter Harden, (linebackers) Jake Buck and Michael Hannah played great making stops. (Defensive end) Anthony Hawk also did a great job getting to the ball.”

At the skill positions, Cam Lucero finished 10-for-14 for 288 yards and four touchdowns. His two targets on the night had equally massive nights with Matthews grabbing five balls for 171 yards and Levi Rider getting four catches for 116 yards. Both finished with a pair of touchdowns.

The Bulldogs dominated the play clock in the third quarter.

North Bend ran 13 times on a 14play drive — the last five to Buck — before capping the drive with a SEE BULLDOGS | B3

Sutherlin hands Marshfield first loss of season THE WORLD Sutherlin topped visiting Marshfield 20-6 on Friday to hand the Pirates their first loss of the season.

Marshfield struggled to get anything going offensively, with the lone Pirate score coming in the third quarter on a 1-yard Matt McCallister run.

“We need to be more physical,” Marshfield head coach Josh Line said. “They out physicaled us up

front and we couldn’t move the ball.”

The Pirates used two quarterbacks, Andrew Sharp and Jake Miles in the game.

Sharp finished with 11 carries and 49 yards and his coach said he was “very admirable through a lot of adversity.” Miles had 27 yards on three carries.

“We need to work more on focusing on offense. We have a good offense, we’re working on it, we have good potential.

We need to get in a mindset that we can score and we can be in the game too.”

On defense, despite giving up eight goals, the Pirates did see improvement in certain areas. Junior center defense Bridget Thurman said she was pleased with how her defense held their line and started to communicate better with each other.

“We just need to work on sending the ball and reading were it’s going to fall at so we’re not chasing the ball,” Thurman said.

Elmira edges Pirates on late goal

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — Fatigue finally caught up with the Marshfield boys soccer team in its first home game of the season Thursday, as two second half goals led Elmira to a 2-1 victory over the Pirates at Pete Susick Stadium.

After playing four games in the past eight days and two in the past three, Marshfield started to wear down in the second half against the Falcons, eventually losing on a heartbreaking goal in the 78th minute from Elmira’s Griffin Meyer.

Pirate captain Sergio Osorio could see the wear and tear affecting his team, but also found another issue that kept his team from properly clicking.

Millan-Figuero is one of 10 seniors at Eastwood’ disposal and 19 kids total, a far cry from the five kids Marshfield had to start the season three years ago.

Eastwood lamented that he wished he would’ve gotten a practice in to familiarize his team with Pete Susick Stadium’s field turf, but while he shuffles the lineup around, making adjustments will be key for the Pirates for the foreseeable future.

Sports Ferry takes leave from Hawks

BULLDOGS From Page B1

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Hawks general manager Danny Ferry took an indefinite leave of absence Friday, making the move under fire for his racially charged comments about a player.

Hawks CEO Steve Koonin has resisted calls for Ferry to be dismissed, but said the 47-year-old GM asked for the leave.

“My hope that this time away from the Hawks organization allows him the privacy he needs to listen to the community, to learn about his mistakes, and to begin the long process of personal healing,” Koonin said in a statement.

Ferry issued his own statement, saying he plans to undergo sensitivity training and meet with local leaders.

He gave no indication that he plans to step down.

“My focus moving forward is to tirelessly work to rebuild trust with this com-

munity and with our fans,” he said.

Ferry made an inflammatory assessment of Luol Deng during a conference call with the Hawks’ ownership group in June as the team was pursuing the free agent. The GM described Deng as someone who “has a little African in him.”

“He’s like a guy who would have a nice store out front and sell you counterfeit stuff out of the back,” Ferry said on the call, which was recorded.

Deng, who was born in what is now South Sudan, signed with the Miami Heat but didn’t know if Ferry’s comments until this week.

Deng said he was proud of his African roots, while adding he was “saddened and disappointed that this way of thinking still exists today. I am even more disturbed that it was shared so freely in a business setting.”

Koonin said Ferry was disciplined for his comments, but refused to disclose the punishment. Both Ferry and Koonin have said the GM was merely repeating statements made by others in scouting reports on Deng.

Former NBA great Magic Johnson is among those who have recommended that Ferry step down.

An internal investigation into Ferry’s comments uncovered an unrelated email sent two years ago by the team’s controlling owner, Bruce Levenson, who theorized that black fans were keeping suburban white fans from attending games.

Levenson said he was embarrassed by what he called an ill-advised attempt to improve the team’s attendance and that he intends to sale his share of the Hawks.

Americans reach World Cup title game BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — James Harden and the U.S. sprinted into the championship game of the Basketball World Cup, riding a huge third quarter to a 9668 victory over Lithuania on Thursday night.

Harden scored all of his 16 points in the lopsided third quarter of a near carbon copy of the Americans’ quarterfinal victory over Slovenia, when he awoke from a scoreless first half to help turn a close game

into a blowout in a split second.

The Americans will travel to Madrid to face Serbia on Sunday as they try to repeat as world champions for the first time. Serbia beat France 90-85 on Friday.

RECAP From Page B1 Braves running back Joey Herr had 13 carries for 86 yards, including a 31-yard first quarter touchdown scamper.

Reedsport quarterback Tyler Tresch added a 2-yard run in the third quarter and Nelson said he did a good job not forcing anything, with his only interception coming on a tipped pass.

“We knew they were a really good football team and that we were going to have to play really well to beat them and we didn’t,” Nelson said.

Buck’s partner in the backfield, Luke Lucero, had 14 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown.

North Bend’s only turnover came off the hands of Buck, with a fumble on a kickoff in the second quarter (which would be bailed out

by Matthews, who had an interception in the end zone to squelch the drive).

In the fourth quarter,

Buck vindicated himself with a 73-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

“It felt good to get the win,” Prince said. “Our kids were excited about the win, but they also understand that we have bigger goals and challenges that lie ahead of us.”

The Vikings’ Billy Jones had two touchdowns in the first quarter, one 26-yard run and a 75-yard kickoff return.

Scott Gordon caught Dotson’s only passing touchdown on the night, a 31-yard strike.

Scio had zero yards passing on the game.

Gold Beach 50, Vernonia 0: The Panthers earned the shutout on the road.

“We need to work on some stuff but it was good,” first-year Gold Beach head coach Justin Storns said.

“We’re getting better each week.”

In the blowout, Storns

highlighted the play of backup running backs Rocky Lilly and Morgan Ryan. Both took advantage of their time by each scoring a touchdown.

Ryan at tailback makes people miss while fullback Lilly is a little more bruising, Storns said.

“Terrific job carrying the ball for the first time for our program,” Storns said, adding they need to do a better job of holding onto the ball.

Gold Beach plays St. Mary’s next week, and as the season begins to get rolling, Storns said the 2-0 Panthers need to stay sharp.

“The level of competition gets better and better every week so we have to step up and get better or we’re going to get caught,” he said. “I couldn’t ask for a better start as a new head coach.”

Kyle Busch gets pole for Chase opener

BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press JOLIET, Ill. — With rain in Friday’s forecast at Chicagoland Speedway, the only time on track became a strategy session for the championship contenders.

If qualifying was rained out, the field for Sunday’s opening round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship would be set by practice speeds and teams had to decide if they wanted to focus on simply posting a fast lap to grab a strong starting position.

It worked out perfectly for Kyle Busch, Ryan Newman and Carl Edwards, who all shot to the top of the speed chart in practice and were rewarded with the top three starting spots in Sunday’s race when rain indeed washed out qualifying.

“We definitely saw the radar and the forecast,” said Newman, who will start second on Sunday. “Made one (practice) run and switched it over, spent the rest of the time doing mock qualifying runs, knowing we had a chance of that being our actual qualifying position.”

Edwards said crew chief Jimmy Fennig made one final adjustment late in practice that found him additional speed and moved him to third on the sheet.

“We started the day thinking this might happen and Jimmy did a great job with a strategy,” Edwards said. “I think that’s what all of us are going to have to do thought the Chase — we’re just going to have to get every little bit you can every race weekend.”

The 10-race Chase opens at Chicago under a radically different format introduced this year by NASCAR. Using an elimination method for the expanded 16-driver field, four drivers will be knocked out of contention every three races.

The first round of cuts comes Sept. 28 at Dover, and all 16 drivers came into Chicago just trying to make it through the first round. A victory earns an automatic advancement into the next round.

Busch, who finished sec-

Trucks race postponed by rain JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — The NASCAR Truck Series race at Chicagoland Speedway has been postponed by rain.

Friday’s showers also washed out qualifying for both the Trucks Series and Sprint Cup races.

The Trucks Series race was pushed back to Saturday at approximately 4 p.m. PDT after the Nationwide race.

Johnny Sauter will be on the pole for the Trucks stop, followed by Brennan Newberry and Jeb Burton. ond in the Chase opener last year, will start from the pole and was buoyed by a strong practice session with his Joe Gibbs Racing team. The organization has lagged behind Hendrick Motorsports and Team Penske all season, and doesn’t seem to have the same pace as the championship favorites.

He’s hoping Gibbs has turned it up for the Chase, and his practice session was the sign of big things to come on Sunday.

“Having a good (speed) there in practice means a lot, but there’s obviously a lot of things that need to happen in the race this weekend for us and getting off to a good start and being able to carry that into the next 10 weeks,” he said.

Matt Kenseth, his Gibbs teammate, will start fifth, while defending champion Jimmie Johnson will start seventh, one spot ahead of Hendrick teammate Jeff Gordon.

Kevin Harvick will start 12th, Dale Earnhardt Jr. 13th, Kurt Busch 14th, A.J. Allmendinger 17th, Kasey Kahne 19th, Greg Biffle 20th, Aric Almirola 23rd, Denny Hamlin 24th, and Penske drivers Brad Keselowski 25th and Joey Logano 28th.

“He’s been working probably more hours since he’s been away from the track than he does when he comes on the road.”

Denny Hamlin, Sprint Cup driver

Hamlin gets crew chief back for race JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Denny Hamlin got his crew chief back for the start of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and he is hopeful Darian Grubb spent his six weeks away building fast race cars.

Grubb was suspended by NASCAR after Hamlin’s third-place finish at Indianapolis when NASCAR found issues with several covers in the rear firewall of his driver compartment during post-race inspection.

Loose or missing covers could vent the driver cockpit to create more downforce.

Joe Gibbs Racing initially said it would appeal the penalty, which included a $125,000 fine for Grubb, but decided to have him serve the six-race suspension and return in time for the opening round of the Chase on Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway.

Grubb on Friday said the failed inspection was over “a 27-cent part and it came loose. It wasn’t torqued correctly.”

“It’s not a gray area, it’s not anything intentional, no real performance gain there,” Grubb said. “Everybody in the garage has those same covers and they came loose a week that they shouldn’t

have come loose.”

Grubb said he took just two days off during his suspension and worked long hours at the race shop preparing for the 10-race Chase. Hamlin is the ninth seed in the 16-driver field, and he’s been vocal that JGR needs to build some “beast race cars” to get the organization on the same level with Hendrick Motorsports and Team Penske.

He knew Grubb had been putting in time at the race shop that Hamlin hopes pays off big the next 10 weeks.

“He’s been working probably more hours since he’s been away from the track than he does when he comes on the road,” Hamlin said.

“We have been preparing for this Chase for a really long time.”

Hamlin spent the last six weeks working with team engineer Mike Wheeler, who guided Hamlin to three top10 finishes. Hamlin was also racing for the lead at Bristol when he was wrecked by Kevin Harvick.

He praised the communication he had with Wheeler, and thought the return of Grubb would bolster the No. 11 team. Grubb won the Chase in 2011 with Tony Stewart.

The Associated Press

Sprint Cup Series driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. signs autographs after qualifying for Sunday's Oral B USA 500 NASCAR race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Friday in Hampton, Ga.

Earnhardt not looking too far ahead

BY JIM LITKE The Associated Press CHICAGO — Dale Earnhardt Jr. turns 40 in a month, and much of his adult life is still a blur. It’s just one more reminder there isn’t much time for reflection inside a race car.

“I’ve always wondered what happens to a person as they age, physically and mentally, that changes their performance,” Earnhardt said. “Mark Martin, into his 50s, was still as quick as Day 1. Harry Gant, guys like that ... there’s something inside, a passion to do the details, the extra work. I’ve often wanted to talk to other drivers about what the experience is like.

“It would be cool,” he added, “to have that kind of conversation someday.”

But Thursday was not that time. Instead, Earnhardt flitted from interview to interview as part of a whirlwind launch for NASCAR’s playoff series, which is loosely modeled on the NCAA’s basketball tourney — including a bracket — and begins Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway.

Most of the questions, not surprisingly, were some variation of whether this would be the year Earnhardt finally breaks through and claims

the Sprint Cup championship that plenty of people once assumed was his birthright.

Junior inherited plenty from the old man: fast reflexes, fearlessness and the biggest tribe in NASCAR. But along with those came outsized expectations and, so far, too little of the staying power Dale Sr. showed while plowing his way to a recordtying seven series titles.

Junior had plenty of success early but basically fell off the grid in 2005. His three wins this year, beginning with the season-opening Daytona 500, are only one fewer than he totaled the previous nine combined.

There’s no denying NASCAR is a different place when Earnhardt is relevant.

CEO Brian France once compared him to the Los Angeles Lakers, because he’s one of the few guys on the circuit who can move the TV ratings needle by himself. There are more than a few theories circulating about what sparked this latest resurgence — maturity has become a recurring theme — but Earnhardt argues it was simply his win in the opener at Daytona.

That amounted to automatic qualification for the

playoffs, easing what had been the season-long pressure — “a heavy weight for me personally,” is how he put it — to be in contention at the end. Now that he’s here, it’s begun ratcheting up again.

“I’ve been reading all year long, ‘This is your year,”’ he said, glancing down at his phone. “I can definitely sense the urgency.”

Earnhardt also knows good counsel is easier to come by these days than it was when he first joined Hendrick Motorsports.

Teammates Jimmie Johnson, a six-time champion, and Jeff Gordon, who’s won four, had already carved out sizeable pieces of turf. Earnhardt is close in age to his friendly rivals, if not quite in accomplishments, and after his rocky start in the Hendrick garage, he usually names those two as models for any young driver to emulate.

Johnson, 38, acknowledged Thursday that he, too, finds himself in quiet moments wondering how long a driver can stay at the top of his game.

Asked what quality he worries most about losing, he didn’t hesitate.

“Bravery,” Johnson said.

“Then probably commitment. We’re lucky in the sense that our bodies don’t

pile up the same kind of wear and tear that athletes do in other sports. ... But somewhere in the back of your mind, you know the window won’t stay open forever.”

Gordon, who’s also won three times this season and is enjoying a late career resurgence of his own, thought seriously about retiring eight years ago because of a bad back. Now 43, he regrets even broaching the topic.

“If somebody had asked me to pick the ... age where your body and your experience as a driver peak, I probably would have said 35,” Gordon recalled. “But because we’re dealing with a machine in our sport, being adaptable, being willing to learn plays at least as big a role as any in how long you can be competitive.”

The last thing Earnhardt wants to do is get caught looking too far ahead or behind. Where he is at the moment feels like the sweet spot.

“I’m running great. I feel like I’m as competitive as ever,” he said. “I’m not too concerned about it right now.

“But there will come a day,” he added, “when you’ve got to make some pretty serious decisions about what you want to do.”

Johnson begins run at seventh NASCAR title at Chicagoland CHICAGO (AP) — It’s been 11 weeks since Jimmie Johnson’s last victory and he suffered through one of his typical summer swoons.

But as the defending NASCAR champion prepares for the start of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, he feels as confident as ever that he’ll once again be hoisting the prize at the end of the year.

Johnson goes into the Chase opener Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway attempting to kick off a record-tying seventh title run. Only Hall of Famers Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt have won seven.

“I feel good.We’ve come through some tracks that historically aren’t good for us with top-10s, top-five runs,” he said. “I feel like we’ve gotten rid of the bad luck; we’re running where we should. We’re getting to the finish line and coming into seven or eight of my best tracks. We’re definitely going in the right direction.

“I honestly feel better about our chances this year than I did last year on this same day.”

Johnson, who won three races this season and is tied for the second seed in the Chase, stumbled through July with consecutive 42nd-place finishes at Daytona and New Hampshire and was 39th at Pocono and 28th at Watkins Glen.

He’s since rebounded as he prepared for the Chase with four consecutive top10 finishes, including his eighth-place run last week at Richmond, where he had to be treated for dehydration after the race because of a problem with his helmet cooling system.

So had Johnson been playing possum over the summer and lying in wait for the Chase to begin? He scoffed at the idea Thursday that he or crew chief Chad Knaus would deliberately sabotage a portion of the season.

“Chad would kill me if he thought I was playing possum,” Johnson said. “It hasn’t been fun. The truth of the matter is some of the tracks are just tough for us and frustration sets in and it just drags us down and affects us.”

Yet it seems to be the same story every

Matt Kenseth opened the Chase last year with back-toback wins, but Johnson surged ahead of him for the title with nine top-10 finishes in the Chase.

When everything is on the line, Johnson and the No. 48 team seem to always kick it into a higher gear.

“It’s nothing conscious that we do,” he insisted. “But truthfully, we respond well to pressure and we make good decisions when pressure is put on us. We’re trying just as hard in the Chase as we do in the regular season.”

So he prepared Thursday to open the Chase, which for the first time features a 16-driver field and will have three rounds of eliminations. The entire field will be trying to grab one of the four slots for the season finale at Homestead, where it will

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson is confident he won’t have any issues with hydration or cramping as he heads into the opening race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

The six-time champion cramped after last week’s race at Richmond and received 5 liters of intravenous fluids in the infield medical center to treat dehydration. His Hendrick Motorsports team found that the cooling system connected to his helmet had malfunctioned and warm air was being blown onto Johnson during the race.

The cooling system has been replaced with a former system Johnson used in time for Sunday’s race at Chicagoland Speedway. be winner-take-all for the title.

His Hendrick Motorsports organization has all four of its drivers in the Chase, which Johnson acknowledged could bring an intensity to the race teams he’s never seen before.He’ll be seeking a record title, while Jeff Gordon wants a fifth championship and Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne are each vying for his first Cup. Johnson said the communication and data sharing at Hendrick is as “open and helpful and team-oriented” as it’s ever been. He pointed to how all the drivers went to Victory Lane at Atlanta two weeks ago to celebrate Kahne’s Chasequalifying win. But as the Chase progresses, it could get tense.

“Championship battles are difficult among teammates,” he said. “I’ve been in that situation a bunch and we’ve always handled it well. But it is so much harder to race a teammate for a championship than someone else.”

Orioles’ Davis is suspended for 25 games

The Associated Press

Baltimore’s Ryan Flaherty slides into second as New York Yankees second baseman Stephen Drew tags him after Flaherty hit a run-scoring double in the second game of a double header Friday.

Orioles sweep Yankees BALTIMORE (AP) — Bud Norris pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Yankees 5-0 Friday night to become the first team since 2006 to sweep a doubleheader from New York.

In the first game of the day-night twinbill, Jimmy Paredes hit a two-run double with two outs in the 11th inning for a 2-1 victory.

Orioles slugger Chris Davis began a 25-game suspension without pay for a positive test for an amphetamine. The suspension will cover the final 17 games of the regular season and run into the playoffs, or perhaps into 2015.

Undeterred, Baltimore extended its winning streak to a season-high six games, moved a season-best 29 games over .500 (88-59) and increased its lead over second-place Toronto in the AL East to 111⁄2 games.

The Orioles lowered MLB their magic number clinching the Recap for division to five.

New York is five games back for the second AL wild card and appears in danger of missing the postseason in consecutive years for the first time since 1992-93.

Norris (13-8) struck out 10 and walked two. He outpitched Bryan Mitchell (0-1), who allowed two runs over five innings in his first big league start.

In the opener, after Chris Young homered off Brad Brach (7-1) in the top of the 11th, Baltimore countered in the bottom half against Adam Warren (36).

Giants 9, Dodgers 0: Madison Bumgarner struck out eight and took a share of the major league lead with 18 wins, and San Francisco moved within one game of NL West-leading Los Angeles.

Pinch-hitter Travis Ishikawa splashed a three-run homer into McCovey Cove, and Brandon Crawford hit a two-run drive in the fifth to help Bumgarner win his fifth straight start.

Buster Posey and Crawford hit RBI doubles in the first as the Giants jumped on Hyun-Jin Ryu (14-7).

The Dodgers’ left-hander exited after only one inning because of irritation in his pitching shoulder.

San Francisco, which leads the NL wild-card race, is one game back of Los Angeles for the first time since Aug. 4.

The Giants have won a season-best 10 straight home games.

Bumgarner (18-9) reached 200 strikeouts for the first time in his career.

Tigers 7, Indians 2: J.D. Martinez homered, tripled and drove in four runs for Detroit, and David Price pitched into the eighth inning.

Martinez broke a 1-all tie in the fourth with a two-run homer, and then drove in two more runs with his triple in the seventh. Price (14-11) allowed one run and eight hits in 7 2-3 innings.

Ryan Raburn homered for Cleveland.

Carlos Carrasco (7-5) allowed four runs and seven hits in 6 1-3 innings.

Tigers catcher Alex Avila helped out with the defensive play of the night.

When Mike Aviles hit a foul popup behind the plate in the fifth, Avila made the catch while jumping into the screen, which provided a soft landing spot.

Red Sox 4, Royals 2:Allen Webster pitched six solid innings and Jemile Weeks stroked a pair of doubles and scored two runs as Boston beat the sputtering Royals.

Kansas City lost for the fourth time in five games and fell out of first place in the AL Central for the first time since Aug. 10. The Royals, who are 0-5 against the last-place Red Sox, dropped a halfgame behind Detroit.

Webster (4-3), hit hard in his previous three starts, limited the Royals to four hits — including Eric Hosmer’s two-run homer in the fourth.

Tommy Layne, Burke Badenhop, Koji Uehara and Edward Mujica held Kansas City hitless for the final three innings.

Mujica earned his sixth save.

Angels 11, Astros 3: David Freese hit a two-run homer and Mike Trout had an RBI triple during Los Angeles’ seven-run fifth inning, and the Angels beat Houston for their ninth consecutive victory.

Kole Calhoun had a tiebreaking, tworun single in the fifth for the major league-leading Angels (92-55), who began their final homestand by reducing their magic number to five for their first AL West title since 2009. They lead spiraling Oakland by 11 games with 15 to play.

Cardinals 5, Rockies 1:: Adam Wainwright won his 18th game to tie for the major league lead, Matt Holliday hit a long three-run homer in the first inning and St. Louis defeated Colorado to stop a three-game losing streak.

Wainwright (18-9) allowed one run and six hits in eight innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. He retired his final 16 batters, improving to 7-1 against Colorado.

Pirates 7, Cubs 3:: Gerrit Cole won consecutive starts for the first time since early June, NL batting leader Josh Harrison had three hits and the surging Pirates earned their seventh win in eight games.

Cole (9-5) improved to 5-0 against the Cubs, allowing three runs in six innings with six strikeouts. He also won at Wrigley Field last weekend.

Rays 1, Blues Jays 0: Nathan Karns got his first major league win in his Tampa Bay debut, Ryan Hanigan homered for the first time in almost three months and the Rays stopped Toronto’s four-game winning streak.

Karns (1-0) allowed two hits in seven innings. He struck out a career-high eight and walked two.

Phillies 3, Marlins 1, 10 innings: Cody Asche hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning to lift the Phillies to the win.

Cole Hamels scattered nine hits over seven innings, and Philadelphia handed the Marlins their third straight defeat in their first game since Giancarlo Stanton was injured.

Mets 4, Nationals 3: Juan Lagares hit a go-ahead double and the Mets made it stand up, ending a 12-game home skid against Washington.

The Mets’ losing streak at Citi Field versus Washington dated to last season, and was their longest in team history against a visiting club.

Brewers 3, Reds 2: Lyle Overbay hit a game-winning single off Jumbo Diaz with one out in the ninth inning to lift Milwaukee over Cincinnati.

Overbay sent the first pitch from Diaz (0-1) into left-center, giving the Brewers their third straight win.

Milwaukee stayed 11⁄2 games back of Pittsburgh for the second NL wild card.

Rangers 2, Braves 1: Robinson Chirinos hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning to lead Texas past Atlanta.

Adrian Beltre and Ryan Rua had two hits apiece as the Rangers won for only the second time in 13 games. They improved to 2-5 under interim manager Tim Bogar.

Padres 6, Diamondbacks 5: Eric Stults snapped a string of three straight losses, Rene Rivera homered and San Diego extended Arizona’s losing streak to seven games, its longest of the season.

Stults (7-16), tied with Philadelphia’s A.J. Burnett and the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Kevin Correia for most losses in the majors, allowed five runs — two earned — and seven hits in six innings.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Orioles slugger Chris Davis was suspended 25 games without pay Friday following a positive test for an amphetamine, a punishment that will extend into the postseason and perhaps 2015.

Baltimore started Friday leading the AL East by 10 games with 17 left in the regular season, so the team will be without the 2013 home run champion deep into the playoffs.

“I apologize to my teammates, coaches, the Orioles organization and especially the fans,” Davis said in a statement. “I made a mistake by taking Adderall. I had permission to use it in the past, but do not have a therapeutic use exemption this year. I accept my punishment and will begin serving my suspension immediately.”

Adderall is a drug often used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy, and 119 TUEs were issued for 40-man roster players in the year ending with the 2013 postseason. It is, however, also known as a performance and cognitive enhancer.

Initial positive tests for a banned stimulant result in the player being given an additional six unannounced urine tests over the 12 months following the violation. The 25-game discipline is the penalty for a second positive test.

The 28-year-old Davis informed manager Buck Showalter of the suspension on Thursday night. Davis is prohibited from entering the clubhouse during the ban.

Davis has denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs.

The Orioles are already without catcher Matt Wieters and third baseman Manny Machado, both of whom sustained seasonending injuries. The loss of Davis further hampers Baltimore’s chances of advancing in the playoffs.

“First of all, we got to get to the postseason,” Showalter said. “Our goal right now is to get there. It just means we will be without him for the rest of the regular season.”

Davis is batting .196 with 26 homers and 72 RBIs in 145 games, quite a dropoff from

his numbers last year: .286 with 53 home runs and 138 RBIs. “A lot of people would like to hit 25 to 30 home runs and drive in 80 runs,” Showalter said, projecting what might have been Davis’ final numbers for the season.

Davis loses 17/183rds of his $10.35 million salary, which comes to $961,475. He already has earned a $150,000 bonus for reaching 500 plate appearances, and the suspension costs him the chance to earn another $150,000 for reaching 600.

If he serves any part of the penalty during the 2015 regular season, he would lose part of next year’s salary.

Because a team can’t make roster changes in the middle of a postseason series except to replace injured players, Davis likely would be inactive through the league championship series.

The suspension does not apply to spring training games.

During spring training this year, Davis scoffed at accusations that his power surge came from PEDs. “It was frustrating when it first came up last year, because what happened to me was the culmination of a lot of hard work over the years,” Davis said. “It was funny because people who didn’t even know me were accusing me of using PEDs. My response was: I’ve always had power. You go back to high school, Little League, minor leagues, college, I’ve always had power. It was just a matter of putting the ball in play consistently.”

The Orioles immediately set out to make adjustments to cover his absence.

“I’ve got a lot of confidence in our guys,” Showalter said. “I’m always looking at the what-ifs. We’ve had to plug some people in and they’ve done a nice job for us.”

Having already been forced to cope with the loss of Wieters and Machado, Showalter didn’t complain about the situation.

“You have to learn to deal with the problems and challenges along the way,” he said. “If they are self-inflicted, there is no woe is me. And this is self-inflicted.”

Marlins’ Stanton says he is feeling better MIAMI (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins says he’s feeling “much better,” one day after sustaining facial fractures and other injuries when he was struck in the face by a fastball.

Stanton took to Twitter on Friday, saying “I’m much better today & deeply appreciate your prayers!”

A frontrunner for the NL MVP award, Stanton’s season likely ended Thursday

night when Milwaukee’s Mike Fiers lost control of a pitch. Blood poured from Stanton’s mouth before he was taken to a hospital.

The Marlins say Stanton was expected back in Miami on Friday. The team has not definitively said his season is over, though manager Mike Redmond strongly suggested he does not expect Stanton back in 2014.

Stanton leads the NL with 37 home runs and 105 RBIs.

Seattle goes deep, tops A’s

BY TIM BOOTH The Associated Press SEATTLE — Robinson Cano, Kendrys Morales and Logan Morrison homered, and the Seattle Mariners beat Oakland 4-2 on Friday night to pull within a half-game of the Athletics for the top spot in the AL wild-card chase.

Oakland has seen nearly all of its wild-card lead disappear, going 3-12 over its last 15 games. Kansas City and Seattle are tied.

Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 45th save despite giving up a pair of singles to open the inning. Rodney tied Kazuhiro Sasaki’s franchise record for saves in a season.

Cano’s homer skimmed the top of the leftfield wall and gave Seattle a 1-0 lead.

Morrison’s drive curled inside the right-field foul pole, breaking a 2-2 tie. Morrison’s homer came at the same time fireworks erupted across the street at CenturyLink Field when the Seattle Sounders scored in their MLS match with Real Salt Lake.

Seattle also got a bloop RBI double from Mike Zunino that Oakland left fielder Jonny Gomes appeared to lose in the lights.

Hammel was lifted after the fifth despite throwing just 78 pitches, partly because of issues with Oakland’s batting order. The A’s lost their designated hitter in the bottom of the third inning when Geovany Soto left with back spasms. Derek Norris took over behind the plate but the A’s lost their DH in the move.

Vikings’ Adrian Peterson accused of child abuse MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Authorities in Texas issued an arrest warrant Friday for star Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson after he was indicted on a charge of child abuse for using a branch to spank his son. He was swiftly benched by his team for this weekend’s game against New England.

Peterson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, said that the charge in Montgomery County, near Houston, accuses Peterson of using a switch to spank one of his sons. Hardin said Peterson didn’t mean to hurt

the boy, whose injuries and age were not disclosed.

“Adrian is a loving father who used his judgment as a parent to discipline his son.

He used the same kind of discipline with his child that he experienced as a child growing up in East Texas,” Hardin said.

“Adrian has never hidden from what happened. He has cooperated fully with authorities and voluntarily testified before the grand jury for several hours,” he said.

“Adrian will address the charges with the same respect and responsiveness

he has brought to this inquiry from its beginning. It is important to remember that Adrian never intended to harm his son and deeply regrets the unintentional injury.”

The Vikings, about an hour after issuing a statement acknowledging the case, said Peterson would be on the inactive list Sunday for their home opener against New England. Houston police and authorities in Montgomery and Harris counties declined comment.

Peterson will have to surrender to authorities, but

Decision may help Browns’ Gordon BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Suspended Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon’s locker is still filled with his belongings, his orange helmet hanging on a hook while he’s been kept away from the team.

Perhaps a positive sign?

Maybe not.

“We’ve just got some lazy guys in our equipment room,” coach Mike Pettine joked on Friday.

All kidding aside, it appears Gordon, a repeat drug offender who was banned for a year for another failed test for marijuana, will play with the Browns at some point this season.

Friday’s vote by player representatives to the union to implement testing for human growth hormone for the 2014 NFL season might have cleared the way for Gordon to have his suspension reduced. The union agreed to significantly increase the threshold for positive marijuana tests, but hours later an NFL spokesman said there were unresolved issues and more negotiating ahead.

Under provisions of the new drug policy the union reps approved, Gordon’s suspension likely would be cut to 10 games. The league has not yet announced which of the suspended players could have their penalties reduced.

However, Gordon appears to be on his way back to the Browns.

Gordon’s convoluted saga has hung over the Browns for months, making it difficult to move forward and depriving the team of its top playmaker.

Despite being suspended two games, Gordon led the league with 1,646 yards receiving and nine touchdowns last season, when he emerged as one of the game’s top big-play threats.

And although there may

there is no timeline for when he will appear in Texas, Hardin said.

“We are just obligated to try to get it done as soon as possible, which we intend to honor,” he said.

Peterson is in his eighth season, all of them with the Vikings.

The allegations against one of the NFL’s biggest stars came during a week in which the NFL has been under heavy criticism and scrutiny The Associated Press for the way it handled a domestic violence case The Minnesota Vikings benched running back Adrian Peterson for involving former Baltimore Sunday's game after his attorney said he had been indicted by a Texas grand jury on a charge of child abuse. running back Ray Rice.

Players’ union reps OK HGH testing for 2014

BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press

The Associated Press

Overall changes are retroactive for players who are suspended under previous policies, and for those in the appeal process. Those players, presumably including Browns receiver Josh Gordon, who is suspended for the season, and Broncos receiver Wes Welker (four games), would be subject to standards of the new policies. be a glimmer of hope for the Browns, Pettine remains cautious.

“Just because we’ve heard everything and seen everything, until we get official word from the league and then start to respond, you don’t get your hopes up, it’s rumors and innuendo,” he said. “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

The 23-year-old Gordon, who was in an advanced stage of the league’s drug program, was suspended for again testing positive for marijuana. Gordon contends he failed the test earlier this year due to secondhand smoke, and his appeal was recently upheld by arbitrator Harold Henderson.

Gordon had practiced and played in limbo during training camp and the preseason.

The league announced on Aug. 27 that he would miss all 16 games and his eligibility for reinstatement would be determined after the season.

Now, his situation is on the verge of changing again.

Gordon’s case is further complicated by a DUI arrest in North Carolina this summer.

The Browns have

remained supportive of Gordon during his ordeal. His teammates would love to have him back for any length of time.

Following practice, Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel said the reports about Gordon have been encouraging, but there are still many unknowns.

“That situation, obviously, is one right now that’s kind of in a flux because you don’t know,” Manziel said.

“There’s so much talk and so much speculation about ‘what if’ of what could happen. But at any point in time if we got Josh back you look at the type of caliber player that does nothing, but only make this offense get better and makes us better.

“And I know for him, he wants to be playing football and as us being his teammates we want him back around here. At the same time, it’s a delicate situation and one that has a lot of certainty for sure.”

Manziel was asked if he’s being apprised of the latest developments.

“I think that’s way higher than the backup rookie quarterback,” he said, smiling.

NEW YORK — Hours after the players’ union voted Friday to accept an NFL proposal on drug policy changes that included HGH testing, the league says it is not a done deal.

Player representatives to the union also voted for changes to marijuana testing, classification for amphetamines, punishment for driving under the influence, and neutral arbitration on appeals.

But NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email to The Associated Press: “There are unresolved issues. More negotiation ahead.”

Aiello did not specify which issues are not resolved, but called them “significant.”

Testing for human growth hormone was originally agreed upon in 2011, but the players have balked at the science in the testing and the appeals process for positive tests. If the proposal they voted on Friday is put into action, testing would begin for this season.

The player reps also

violations.

A two-game suspension would be issued for a player convicted of driving under the influence. But a proposal to immediately suspend a player, owner, coach, team executive or league employee for a DUI was rejected by the union.

The players approved arbitration for appeals under the substance abuse and the PED policies. The NFL and NFL Players Association would hire between three and five arbitrators.

The league and the union also would retain independent investigators to review cases in which player confidentiality under the drug policy had been breached. Punishment for leaks could range up to $500,000 and/or termination.

“This is an historic moment for our players and our league,” NFLPA President Eric Winston said long before the NFL basically put matters on hold. “We have collectively bargained drug policies that will keep the game clean and safe,but also provide our players with an unprecedented level of fairness and transparency.”

49ers to test out new turf SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers will practice in Levi’s Stadium on Saturday, a step that might be more about footing than getting familiar with the surroundings.

The 49ers host the Chicago Bears on Sunday night, the first time the stadium will be used for an NFL regular-season game.

“The reports are positive,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday. “We’ve had three practices and two preseason games and we’ll practice there tomorrow.”

The difference is the field has been resodded three times, and the 49ers (1-0) will be getting their first look at the latest version.

Punter Andy Lee and kicker Phil Dawson are the only players to have experienced the latest transformation.

“What it is now, from what it’s been, it’s perfectly fine,” Lee said. “I don’t know how the big guys will do, but it seems like it will be

great.”

The 49ers tore out the turf following their first exhibition game against the Denver Broncos and Harbaugh ended a public practice early when players slipped on the grass.

The field was redone after the 49ers played the San Diego Chargers in an exhibition game. An international soccer match between Mexico and Chile took place a week later and the grass seemed to hold up.

The sod has had another seven days to take hold for Sunday night.

“We were on the grass for the first time yesterday (Thursday),” Lee said. “Until then we weren’t too sure about it. We’ll spend time in pregame, like we always do, and get things figured out.”

The grass could pose a problem with several players, including Lee, who has been limited this week due to a knee injury. He’s listed as probable.

Wilson has a little history with Chargers

Ravens dispatch Steelers BALTIMORE (AP) — The dismissal of Ray Rice wasn’t a distraction for the Baltimore Ravens.

Ultimately, it served as inspiration.

Playing a pivotal divisional game three days after the release of the star running back, Baltimore got a pair of touchdown passes from Joe Flacco and rolled past the rival Pittsburgh Steelers 266 on Thursday night.

Rice was reaching the end of a two-game suspension for domestic violence when a video of him striking his then-fiancee surfaced Monday. By the end of the day, the three-time Pro Bowler had been cut by Baltimore and suspended indefinitely by the NFL. “We had a tough family situation this week,” coach John Harbaugh said. “I thought our guys handled it tremendously — with class, with character. They responded.”

Coming off a seasonopening loss to AFC North

approved an increase for the threshold for positive marijuana tests. Some players have complained that the NFL threshold of 15 nanograms per milliliter is so low that anyone within the vicinity of people smoking marijuana could test positive. The threshold was increased to 35 ng/ml in the league’s proposal.

Overall changes are retroactive for players suspended under previous policies, as well as for those in the appeal process. Those players, including Browns receiver Josh Gordon (suspended for the season) and Broncos receiver Wes Welker (four games), are subject to standards of the new policies.

Their suspensions could be reduced — no immediate announcements were made regarding those suspensions, probably because the NFL doesn’t consider anything official yet.

Welker was suspended for amphetamine use in the offseason, but punishment for that is being switched from the performance enhancers policy to the substance abuse program — except for in-season

The Associated Press

Baltimore Ravens tight end Owen Daniels (81) gestures next to Pittsburgh Steelers strong safety Troy Polamalu (43) during the second half Thursday in Baltimore. foe Cincinnati, the Ravens (11) held Pittsburgh to two field goals and forced three turnovers.

“We was all about getting the win. We wanted to kind of give that to Ray,” rookie linebacker C.J. Mosley said. “We all wish the best for him.

Even though he messed up, every man got to go through their mistakes to get better.

We wish him the best, but as a team we’ve just got to keep moving forward.”

Bernard Pierce took over for Rice to gain 96 yards on 22 carries as part of a ground

game that finished with 157 yards. Flacco went 21 for 29 for 166 yards and two TD throws to tight end Owen Daniels, and Justin Tucker kicked four field goals.

Asked if he was curious how the team would fare after the tumultuous short work week, Baltimore defensive lineman Chris Canty shouted, “We weren’t curious at all. We knew how this was going to go. This was going to go one way, our way, tonight.

No question about it.”

Pittsburgh (1-1) finished with only 22 fewer yards than

Baltimore, but the turnovers made the difference. One Steelers miscue halted their opening drive, another set up a fourth-quarter field goal by Tucker, and an interception Ben by thrown Roethlisberger with 1:51 remaining ended any hope.

“Obviously, a disappointing effort for us,” coach Mike Tomlin said.

Roethlisberger completed 22 of 37 passes for 217 yards.

It was the first time since Nov. 26, 2006, that Baltimore held Pittsburgh without a touchdown.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Russell Wilson knows a lot more about the San Diego Chargers than you might think.

His late father, Harrison Wilson III, was a wide receiver invited to training camp with the Chargers in 1980. He roomed with future Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow.

Unfortunately, he was one of the final players cut.

So Wilson is looking forward to leading the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks (1-0) into Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday to play the Chargers (0-1) in their home opener.

“Oh man, I can’t wait,” Wilson said. “I just think about all the stories my dad told and he used to sing the ‘San Diego Super Chargers’ song around the house and the football I used to throw around. Really the first football I ever touched was a Chargers football.”

Wilson’s father died in 2010.

“To go back in that stadium and play there, it will be a cool moment for me,” Wilson said. “I played there preseason once before, but to go back there and play the

Chargers will be a very, very special moment. I always believe he’s there with me, no matter what stadium I’m playing, home or away. I believe my dad’s in the best seat in the house.”

As for the song, “I don’t want to sing it for you,” Wilson said with a laugh during a conference call with San Diego reporters.

He did anyway, but just the first four words of the disco ditty from the Air Coryell years.

The Seahawks opened the season with a dominating 20-point win against the Green Bay Packers. The Chargers blew an 11-point fourth-quarter lead and lost 18-17 at Arizona.

Double trouble: The Chargers have to worry about Wilson’s passing and scrambling as well as try to contain Marshawn Lynch.

“Stop No. 24 and stop Russell Wilson and go from there,” inside linebacker Donald Butler said. “Easier said than done.”

Said fellow inside linebacker Manti Te’o on Wilson: “Just don’t let him scramble.

Keep him in the pocket. It’s harder done than said, but that’s what you’ve got to do.”

Coach juggles schedule for daughter’s wedding

NEW YORK (AP) — You think fall weddings are inconvenient for college football fans? Imagine being a coach with a daughter who has her heart set on a Saturday in late September.

That was Wagner College coach Walt Hameline’s dilemma,when his youngest daughter, Kelly, told him last fall the place she chose as the site of her big day had few dates available — and the one she picked was Sept. 20, the same day Wagner was scheduled to play Monmouth University.

“How can you do this?”

Hameline said was his reacARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS tion. “What are you thinking about? It’s football season.

Ever since she was a baby she went to every football game.”

With the help of an old friend, Hameline was able to reschedule the game. Wagner, an FCS school in Staten Island, OREGON STATE BEAVERS

visits its old Northeast Conference rival on the Jersey Shore on Saturday, giving the Seahawks an open date on Sept. 20 and keeping peace in the Hameline family.

“It’s her wedding present and a lot of presents to follow throughout life,” Hameline in a phone interview Friday.

Hameline is in his 34th season as head coach at Wagner. He has a career record of 217-136-2, fifth among active FCS coaches in career victories, and is also the school’s athletic director.

Sometimes it pays to be RAMS COLORADO STATE your own boss.

said. “Once football season starts, my wife, my family, they go to the games and we do nothing else.”

Not this time.

After last season was over, Hameline reached out to Monmouth coach Kevin Callahan. The two had crossed paths and become friends as young assistant coaches in the late 1970s, and when Hameline became head coach at Wagner, Callahan was the first coach he hired.

“It was kind of funny,” Callahan said, recalling the conversation with a laugh. “In typical Walt fashion he goes, ‘Hey, hey, hey, you gotta help me out.’ My first thought was, what’s he up to here? Let me figure this out.”

Callahan was in the process of filling Sept. 20 on Monmouth’s schedule, but was able to move the Wagner

game, lock it in and build the team’s remaining schedule around it.

“We had the flexibility to make it work. I was more than happy to do it,” said Callahan, who has been coach at Monmouth for 22 years.

So while Callahan won’t be attending the wedding — the Hawks play at Duquesne that day — he’s covered for a gift.

And Kelly Hameline, who lives in the Chicago area, will be at the Wagner-Monmouth game Saturday.

As for Hameline, he’s just happy his daughter’s wedding didn’t conflict with Wagner’s game last week at Florida International, an FBS school.

He said Wagner was paid $240,000 for that trip to South Florida.

“Let’s get this straight,” Hameline said, “I wasn’t calling FIU up.”

Handling abusive customers

Sponsors keep close watch on NFL investigation

BY MAE ANDERSON AND TOM MURPHY The Associated Press

Major brand sponsors are watching closely to make sure the National Football League doesn’t fumble the investigation into how its executives handled evidence in the Ray Rice domestic violence case.

For big companies like Anheuser-Busch, General Motors and Procter & Gamble, an NFL sponsorship is a coveted prize. The deals can cost up to $10 million per brand, but they deliver eyeballs. An average of 17.4 million viewers watched professional football games during the 2013 season, according to Nielsen.

Now that the NFL is investigating how its executives handled a video showing Baltimore running back Ray Rice hitting his then-fiancee, sponsors are forced to balance the exposure NFL games offer with the risk of alienating customers.

On Wednesday, the NFL said it hired former FBI Director Robert S. Mueller to lead the investigation. League

Commissioner Roger Goodell previously said no one at the NFL had seen the video before it surfaced on Monday,but the AP reported Wednesday that a law enforcement official sent the tape to the organization in April.

With the investigation just beginning, experts say there is little else sponsors can do but wait and see.

“These situations often develop and change direction very rapidly, so sponsors need to be incredibly agile,” said Allen Adamson, managing director of branding firm Landor Associates. “What’s true right now may not be true in two hours, so (sponsors) will have to monitor how the NFL reacts, and then how consumers react to the reactions.”

When a scandal hits an individual athlete, brands usually move swiftly to cut ties. Nike severed its relationship with Rice after the video surfaced. Video game maker Electronic Arts said it would scrub Rice’s image from its latest Madden 15 release.

But no sponsor company has said it will end its relationship with the NFL — yet.

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice speaks during a news conference Jan. 16 at the team's practice facility in Owings Mills, Md. At least four television networks say they plan to stop or minimize airings of video showing football player Rice striking his fiancee, footage that has called into question how the NFL disciplines players involved in domestic violence. The video from a casino elevator showing Janay Palmer crumbling to the floor after a punch has already been seen many times on TV since TMZ released it Monday.

“Obviously all the sponsors are incredibly worried, but it’s hard for a sponsor to disconnect from the entire NFL. It’s so important to business,” said Atlantabased marketing consultant

US threatened Yahoo with huge fine over emails WASHINGTON (AP) — Yahoo’s free email service could have cost the company an extra quarter of a million dollars a day.

The government called for the huge fine in 2008 if Yahoo didn’t go along with an expansion of U.S. surveillance by surrendering online information, a step the company regarded as unconstitutional. At stake, according to the government, was the nation’s security.

“International terrorists, and (redacted) in particular, use Yahoo to communicate over the Internet,” the director of national intelligence at the time, Mike McConnell, said in a court document supporting the government’s position. “Any further delay in Yahoo’s compliance could cause great harm to the United States, as vital foreign intelligence information contained in communications to which only Yahoo has access, will go uncollected.”

The outlines of Yahoo’s secret and ultimately unsuccessful court fight against government surveillance emerged when a federal judge ordered the unsealing of some material about Yahoo’s court challenge.

Sections of some of the documents were redacted, such as the names of the terrorists McConnell cited.

In a statement Thursday, Yahoo said the government amended a law to demand user information from online services, prompting a challenge in 2007 during the George W.

Q: What can I do about abusive customers?

A: Working with angry customers is a difficult task faced by most business owners at some time or another. First, don’t take it personally and don’t DOWN TO make the situation worse by becoming angry yourself.

Try to find out exactly what the issue is by askARLENE ing the SOTO customer to explain their point of view. Often they want to vent their frustration and just have someone listen to them.

Make sure you understand the situation by paraphrasing what the customer has said. Some customers will reveal symptoms, but not tell you the real issue. You will need to make sure you have identified what is important and what is just venting by asking questions.

Ask the customer what would make them feel you have done your best to take care of the problem and keep their business in the future. Maintain a calm, supportive attitude and use a normal tone of voice. Offer an apology on behalf of the company and let the customer know you are truly sorry they have been inconvenienced.

Some customers will feel better just having the chance to be heard, others may ask for a refund or a new product, sometimes the customer has not even thought about how to resolve the situation. If the customer has not thought about the resolution they expect, offer possible solutions. Once you have agreed on a solution, act immediately to resolve the issue. It’s always a good idea to follow up in a week or two to make sure the customer feels the issue was resolved to their satisfaction.

Listening to the customer is the best way to determine how to help them. If possible, find a place that is private to hold the conversation so it does not impact other customers and employees.

If the customer is threatening, you may need to contact the police to have the person escorted from your business for the safety of staff and other customers. If they refuse to calm down, you may need to ask them to leave and come back at a time they are able to discuss the situation rationally.

Customers are not always right, but they do need to feel they have been heard and have received satisfaction for their complaint. The good news is if you can resolve their problem to their satisfaction, they may become one of your best advocates in the future. Great customer service starts and ends with you.

Feds tighten rules on workplace death reporting

BY TOM RAUM The Associated Press

The Associated Press

This file photo shows a sign in front of Yahoo! headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif. Yahoo says the government threatened to fine the company $250,000 a day if it did not comply with demands to go along with an expansion of U.S. surveillance laws by surrendering online information, a step the company regarded as unconstitutional.

Bush administration.

“Our challenge, and a later appeal in the case, did not succeed,” Yahoo general counsel Ron Bell said.

The new material about the case underscores “how we had to fight every step of the way to challenge the U.S. government’s surveillance efforts,” Bell added. “At one point, the U.S. government threatened the imposition of $250,000 in fines per day if we refused to comply.”

Bell said the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court upheld the predecessor to Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act. Section 702 refers to the program called PRISM, which gave the government access to online communications by users of Yahoo.

Former National Security Agency systems analyst Edward Snowden disclosed the program last year.

WASHINGTON — The federal government on Thursday moved to tighten its rules on the reporting of workplace deaths and severe injuries, declaring that employers beginning Jan. 1 must report any fatalities within eight hours of the accident or incident.

Work-related hospitalizations, amputations or losses of an eye will now have to be reported within 24 hours, under the final rule announced by the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Previously, OSHA’s regulations required such reports to be filed only if three or more workers were killed or hospitalized while on the job.

The agency said no company will be exempt, no matter how small.

“We can and must do more to keep America’s workers safe and healthy,” Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez said in a statement.

“Workplace injuries and fatalities are absolutely pre-

ventable, and these new requirements will help OSHA focus its resources and hold employers accountable for preventing them.”

The new rule follows the release earlier in the day of the annual report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on fatal occupational injuries. It reported that 4,405 workers were killed on the job in the United States in 2013.

Reporting single hospitalizations, amputations or loss of an eye was not required under the previous rule.

Hospitalizations and amputations because of workplace incidents can be clear signals “that serious hazards are likely to be present at a workplace and that an intervention is warranted to protect the other workers at the establishment,” said Dr. David Michaels, assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health.

The new rule maintains the current exemption for any employer with 10 or fewer employees from the requirement to routinely keep records of worker injuries and illnesses.

Envoronmental groups sue over oil shipments in older rail cars SEATTLE (AP) — Environmental groups sued the U.S. Department of Transportation on Thursday over the shipment of volatile crude oil in older railroad tank cars.

Accident investigators for complained have decades that the cars are too easily punctured or ruptured

when derailed, leading to spills.

The lawsuit filed by the Sierra Club and ForestEthics says the agency failed to respond to a legal petition the groups filed in July. That petition sought an emergency order to prohibit crude oil from the Bakken region of North Dakota and

Montana and elsewhere from being carried in older tank cars, known as DOT111s.

A spokesman with the Department of Transportation, Kevin Thompson, declined to comment, citing the pending litigation.

Since 2008, there have

been 10 significant derailments in the U.S. and Canada in which crude oil has spilled from ruptured tank cars. The worst was a runaway oil train that exploded in the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic a year ago, killing 47 people.

The federal government in late July proposed rules

that would phase out tens of thousands of older tank cars that carry crude oil and other highly flammable liquids.

But that process could take several years, and in the meantime, shipments of crude oil in older rail cars are putting small towns and major cities along the rail

lines at risk, the groups said.

“That’s just far too long given the risks,” said Patti Goldman, a lawyer with Earthjustice, which is representing the groups.

The groups had asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to order the agency to respond to its July petition within 30 days.

Right at Home: Sellers, give every room a role

BY KIM COOK The Associated Press Many of us have one room in the house that doesn’t really have a job. Maybe we set it up with an air bed once in a while for guests, or shove out-of-season clothing boxes in there, or use it as a holding zone for stuff we’re not sure what to do with.

But when your house is on the market, every room has a role to play to make the sale. Next to fixing whatever’s broken, staging — decorating rooms in an inviting way to help people imagine living in them — is important.

“The purpose of home staging is to draw the buyers into the house emotionally so they say, ‘Wow, we want to live here!”’ says Melinda Bartling, a real-estate agent and home stager in Overland Park, Kansas.

“Buyers must be able to see themselves living in the house, not questioning why it looks the way it does. For example, if you use your finished basement as a catch-all, buyers will wonder what’s wrong with the space.”

New York-based realestate agent Nathalie Clark’s motto is “minimalism with personality.”

“The owner’s presence

must be as discreet as possible, but the rooms have to feel inhabited and should clearly state their function,” she says.

Some ideas from stagers on what to do with an unused space:

Make it a closet Everyone wants good storage. Turn a potential shortcoming into a valuable feature by transforming a small room into a large closet or dressing room.

Install a shelving system; if money’s an issue, just outfit one long wall to achieve the purpose. Add a chair or ottoman and a large mirror, perhaps, so buyers can imagine a dressing room.

If your home is short on storage, consider outfitting an under-stair niche or other “dead” space with shelving, and stock the shelves with smart-looking boxes and bins.

But leave some empty space in a closet, too.

“Closets filled with items other than clothes send the message there isn’t enough storage in the house,” says Bartling.

Make it creative Transform a bedroom with a tiny closet into creative workspace. Suggest a

Stage an extra bedroom or section of the basement as a craft room to show potential buyers the usability of the space. A worktable and storThe Associated Press Photos age can be upcycled from rummaged furniture or bought new; paint Turn a smallish bedroom with no closet space into a plus by staging it as everything in coordinating hues. a home office. craft or art studio with a table and some neatly displayed materials. Line up a series of identical bookshelves and make a small yet inviting library by adding a rug, a comfortable chair and a side table.

Make it an office Real-estate agents tend to

prefer that bedrooms be staged as bedrooms, because buyers usually want lots of those. But depending on your market, it may pay off to stage one of those rooms as a home office.

If you’ve got more than four bedrooms, Clark says, turn one into a home office.

In a four-bedroom home,

“use the room farthest from a bathroom,” she advises.

Add a desk, chair and lamp, and lay down a fresh new rug in either a chic neutral hue or a style-savvy pattern that ties it into neighboring rooms.

Make it a workout space Empty nesters often have basements that once were

playrooms. Clark suggests converting a space like that into a cozy TV room or gym.

“For a gym, you don’t need a lot of fancy equipment,” she says. “A bench, some neatly stacked weights, a few ropes or bands hung on pretty hooks, a mirror and a mat can all easily be arranged to create a powerful visual effect.”

How low should your home price go?

ERIK J. MARTIN CTW Features

The goal of every home sale is to sell high, but when a house lingers on the market for longer than anticipated, the sellers may need to consider a price reduction.

Reducing your asking

price, however, is a move that has to be handled carefully and timed appropriately, say real estate experts.

Ask different real estate agents when they advise making a price cut, and you’ll get a variety of recommendations - although the general consensus is within a

few weeks of listing a home for sale.

“It depends on the local market, how many days on the market that are typical for the region, how the property compares to other similar homes that have received offers, and other factors,” says Cori McGrath,

Realtor with Olde Port Properties in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. “If a home has had several showings with no offers and has no other stigmas, then it’s time to drop the price.”

For Greg Williamson, senior vice president at Douglas Elliman Real Estate in New

York, a solid month is the rule of thumb.

“If there is no offer in four weeks, then it’s most likely not priced right,” Williamson says.

If the seller needs to move quickly, a price reduction may be necessary much sooner - every 10 to 14 days,

suggests Sue Goodhart, an agent with McEnearney Associates, Inc., in Alexandria, Virginia.

When it comes to deciding the amount to discount, agents equally differ in opinion.

Kindness to wildlife can pay off in the garden

BY DEAN FOSDICK The Associated Press Competition and conflict have existed between people and animals since the first gardeners began sowing seeds on the ground. The critters just as quickly carried them away.

But coexisting with wildlife in farm fields or gardens can be a winning proposition if you’re willing to alter your habitat. Even nuisance animals can become plant partners with a little planning.

“You can steer your way around a lot of the usual wildlife-property owner confrontations,” said Robert Pierce, an extension fisheries and wildlife specialist with the University of Missouri.

“Do some homework about animal behavior,” Pierce said. “Know where raccoons or deer traditionally utilize cover or use traffic lanes. It’s common sense that you wouldn’t want to plant gardens in those areas.”

And sharing property with wild birds and animals doesn’t necessarily mean reducing the size of your said Tammi harvest, Hartung, author of the new “The Wildlife-Friendly Vegetable Gardener” (Storey Publishing).

“Welcome pollinators into the garden,” Hartung said. “Invite animals that can do your pest management. That will actually increase your yields in many cases.”

Almost any wildlife species can become a nuisance, Pierce said. Canada

■ The hose. “We use a motion-detector apparatus that hooks up to a hose,” Hartung said. “It sprays water when it detects motion. When raccoons come at night, they get a hard spray of water. It doesn’t do them any harm but they stay away.”

Wildlife-friendly gardening has its challenges, but you can co-exist for the most part, she said.

“Something like a bear may show up and you’ll have to deal with it,” Hartung said. “Maybe then it’s as easy as picking up some fallen fruit and discarding it someplace else.

“You don’t really need to trap animals, use toxic chemicals or shoot them,” she said.

“You can find other solutions.”

goose droppings are messy and potential health hazards. Moles damage lawns.

Squirrels eat freshly planted bulbs.

Small rodents like voles will strip the bark from grapevines. Feral hogs damage pastures.

“Tolerance levels vary,” Pierce said. “Lots of folks just enjoy wildlife and like having them around. Much depends upon whether you have the money to invest to keep them away from your plants.”

The most benign ways to keep wildlife away from the garden include repellents, frightening techniques, rotating crops, decoy plants, fencing, netting and other barriers.

Consider: ■ Being proactive.

“Before the raspberries ripen, put up some tape or nets so the birds will never taste them and won’t know what they’re missing,” Hartung said.

■ Modifying food and cover. “We have 30 deer coming through our property every day,” she said. “The deer wouldn’t leave my tulips alone, so I don’t grow tulips anymore. I grow (deer-resistant) daffodils instead.”

■ Distractions. “Parsley redirects rabbits from salad greens,” Hartung said.

“Plant some sunflowers next to your berry patch. Many birds prefer their seeds to the fruit.”

■ Growing a surplus for sharing. Add hedgerows outside the garden that include fruiting trees and shrubs.

PRICE Continued from Page C2 “The reduction has to be meaningful but not necessarily a set number,” says Glenn S. Phillips, CEO of Lake Homes Realty in Birmingham, Alabama. “It’s often based on how off the market the home is prior to a reduction, so a set percentage can be dangerous. For example, a 10-percent reduction on a home that is priced 20 percent above the market is not as meaningful as 5 percent off a home that is already at expected market pricing.”

McGrath says most properties in her area sell within 5 percent of the listing price, “so I typically recommend a reduction of about half that (2.5 percent).”

The Associated Press

This blacktail doe and fawn are steered away from these backyard gardens by some appealing-to-the-eye fencing in Langley, Wash. Many people are wildlife watchers and enjoy having them around but any species can become a nuisance in the garden. A variety of benign control and prevention techniques are available including repellants, frightening techniques and distracting them with other plants.

However, many professionals caution that listing prices (including reduced prices) should fall within big, round number-search parameters so that house hunters shopping online where most home shopping begins - can more easily find the property for sale.

“A home priced at $412,000 would not appear in searches for homes priced at $400,000 and less, so a reduction to $402,000, for example, still does not introduce the home to buyers that top out at $400,000,” says Phillips.“ Given the current real estate climate, which favors

sellers in many markets, a price cut may not be needed at all - especially if the home was priced correctly from the start based on comparable properties, low inventory/high demand conditions, and the patience of the seller.

But sellers that are considering a discount should consult closely with their agents.

“The consideration should never be, ’Let’s cut a little and hope it gains attention.’ It should always be, ’What positions this house over the competition for buyers’ attention and money,’” Phillips says.

Enough to keep me busy It was another summer of odd-ball projects in the workshop — projects that have taken quite a toll on the scrap wood supply at the HouseWorks Project House.

Amo n g t he m: ■ A rack to hold a giant roll of plastic wrap for a “blooming idiot”— actually a buddy who went into the flower peddling business — as well as replacement legs for a dress form. She sews, too.

■ Two giant baseball plaques that I assume are destined to hang on the front doors of rabid fans.

■ A toy train, complete with coal tender.

■ A cylindrical black walnut box that I had to plane and sand for three days so a very pretty bronze lid would fit on it. It all would have gone much easier if I owned a lathe — and knew how to use one.

■ A drawer for an instrument case. Actually, all I had to do was copy a drawer from one that hadn’t been broken. I spent more time messing with the table saw and router setups than I did milling the parts.

■ Legs for a loveseat and matching chair, made from some 120-year-old yellow pine stair treads that I salvaged from the new-old house about 18 years ago.

■ A new shake shingle roof for a mailbox. That time, I adapted a bunch of leftover shims.

■ A dragon ship. I’d always wanted one to add to my ever-expanding collection of mythical beasties, then I found a photo of such a vessel in an old magazine and decided to reproduce it for myself. I fiddled with it all summer; the sails and rigging alone occupied me for two weeks.

■ A series of repairs to assorted garden-related stuff: damaged bunny fences, new caps for fence posts that the squirrels love to gnaw, replacement slats for the compost bins and still more chicken-wire row covers to protect baby flowers from the varmints.

Finally, I spent one sultry afternoon dismantling the sliding door on the shop itself. A too-mighty shove late last fall bumped it off its rollers, and my quickie repair that day left it hanging a tad askew.

You’ll be relieved to know it’s all better now.

Apparently, I wasn’t the only one with a summer to

One other thought: The finish could be shellac. In that case, the remover is alcohol. Try dabbing a seldom-seen spot with rubbing alcohol and see whether that softens the finish.

If it does, the entire surface can be removed fairly easily, although you should to get denatured alcohol at the home center. The stuff they sell in the paint department is stronger than rubbing alcohol.

Before making a reduction, think about how it might impact the ultimate sales price, be aware of your bottom line, and allow for some wiggle room in negotiations.

Lastly, realize that there’s no shame and little risk in having to lower your price.

“One or two price reductions are fine - it shows that you are a real seller,” Williamson says. “However, three or more price cuts suggest a desperate seller, lack of confidence and that the property was priced incorrectly from the onset. So, it’s better to do one substantial price cut rather than two or more.”

Religion Christian leaders urge Obama to address plight of religious minorities FAITH & BELIEF WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. and Middle East Christian leaders hope President Obama won’t overlook the plight of religious minorities when he tells Americans how he’ll respond to the Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria.

On the eve of Obama’s address to the nation, Cardinal Donald Wuerl welcomed the Middle East’s Christian patriarchs to a Washington summit.

Nina Shea director of the Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom, said it’s not enough for the U.S. and allied forces to degrade and destroy the Islamic State group. She said President Obama also should address the plight of religious minorities who are being killed, kidnapped or exiled from their historic homelands.

French imams to use pulpit against Islamic State

CHICAGO (AP) — Cardinal Francis George says a new clinical trial of an experimental drug to treat cancer has left him feeling good, but not great.

The head of the Archdiocese of Chicago spoke to reporters Monday after blessing a newly expanded religious retirement center.

George, who is 77, started the trial to treat a recurrence of cancer near his right kidney.

George, the spiritual leader of the Chicago area’s more than 2 million Roman Catholics since 1997, said he would travel to Europe in November to meet with archbishops in Barcelona, Spain, and then go to the Vatican.

PARIS (AP) — French Muslim leaders are urging imams to preach against the Islamic State group and offer a message of support for Christians in the Middle East.

Christians there are fleeing the militant organization by the thousands as they face a choice between conversion to Islam or death.

Moderate Muslim leaders called on French mosques nationwide Tuesday to offer prayers for endangered Christians and send a message to young people that the Islamic State group is neither Muslim nor a state.

Grab a can of this cheap product to get out ink stains Dear Mary: HELP! I just pulled a load of dried, white clothes out of my dryer and discovered a blue ink pen was in that load. How do I get blue ink out of already dried white clothes? Thank you.—Jenny Dear Jenny: Go to the drug store and buy the cheapest can of hairEVERYDAY spray you CHEAPSKATE can find.

Cheap is the operative word because t h e cheaper it is the more acetone it will contain.

Mary T h a t ’s what you Hunt w a n t h e r e .

Aqua Net is one example of a very cheap, mostly acetone hairspray product. Saturate the ink stains with that cheap hairspray. If those stains can be removed, you will see the ink begin to dissolve and run.Great.

Let it sit and soak for a bit, and then hit the stains with your regular laundry detergent, and launder as usual.

On a personal note, I was ready to walk on stage to speak at a large convention many years ago, wearing a pale blue wool blazer. I didn’t realize the Sharpie pen handed to me did not have a lid attached and, you guessed it, somehow I laid a big black permanent-ink mark right across the lapel.

Fortunately someone had a can of hairspray handy.I sprayed it liberally (how could it get any worse, right?) and it was amazing.That ink dissolved and actually disappeared by the time I reached the podium. While my ink stain was very fresh, it was permanent ink! I hope you have equally good luck with your ink stains.

Dear Mary: What is an AMT card,and how does it differ from a debit card? — Nancy Dear Nancy: Many people think of them as the same, but an ATM card is quite different than a debit card.

ATM cards operate over a network of different banks that are connected together to service their customer’s needs. Look on your card to find out which network(s) it can access. The most common are STAR, LINK, Cirrus, PULSE, PLUS, Interswitch,Interac and so forth.

You will know you are making an ATM purchase/transaction because when you do so,you will be required to enter your PIN. ATM cards are used mostly with ATM machines to either withdraw or deposit money. Some retailers that have PIN processing machines and are part of a bank network (some gasoline, grocery and convenience stores),often accept payment by ATM card.

Debit cards are more common these days than ATM cards. With a debit card you have the ATM capability mentioned above and also the ability to make purchases without a PIN over the Visa or network, MasterCard processed the same way as a credit card transaction. That’s why you have to select “credit” instead of “debit” to do this.

That doesn’t mean your debit card is also a credit card, only that it can be processed over the credit card network.

So,you may be asking,which is better? That depends on your needs and how convincingly I can advise you. What you need to know is that you might be liable for fraudulent transactions if your PIN was used to commit them. That’s why you need to be very, very careful to keep your ATM or debit card PIN secret.

If fraud is committed without a PIN (as a credit transaction over the Visa or MasterCard network),then usually you have similar protections as a credit card — not by law, but by the terms offered by Visa and MasterCard.

However, I must to point out that the fraud protection laws in this country are for credit cards.

Debit card transactions that are processed as credit are not considered the same,so technically, you are at the mercy of your bank or credit union if your account is hacked or compromised.

You get the best fraud protection with an actual credit card. Pairing that with an ATM card allows you to use any ATM in your bank’s network without having to pay a fee or surcharge and enjoy federal fraud protection as well.

Jennifer Hudson, an actress and singer, said, “Extreme exercise doesn’t save you from poor food choices.”

All week we have been looking at deals in which the declarer or a defender wanted to make good play choices to maximize the chance of making or breaking a contract. Today’s deal seems to be another — but is it?

Look at the North and East hands.

After South opens one spade, he ends in four spades. West leads the heart ace, under which East encourages with his nine — always signal as high

as possible. West cashes his heart king and plays his third heart. What should East do after winning with his queen?

South, with such a weak six-card suit, might have raised to three clubs, but four spades would still have been the final contract. It was hard — impossible? — to stop in three no-trump, which cannot be defeated.

It is tempting for East to shift to a club at trick four. However, if East does that, South wins the trick, draws trumps and claims.

East should pause and count up the high-card points. He has seven, there are 13 in the dummy, and West has already produced seven.

That leaves 13 unaccounted for, but since South opened the bidding, surely he has the club ace-king, diamond ace and spade queen. So, from where might a fourth defensive trick come?

If the defenders have taken every possible sidesuit trick, they must try for a trump trick. Then, giving a ruff-and-sluff cannot cost and might gain. East must lead his last heart.

When West ruffs with his spade nine, it effects an uppercut, generating a spade trick for East.

The day the cruise control died Dear Tom and Ray: Did I kill our cruise control by listening to baseball? Driving in the mountains, we listen to the San Francisco Giants’ home station on the car radio. In our 1993 stick-shift Honda Accord with 203,000 miles, the game reception is bad in the mountains. But I realized that if I put a foot on the brake pedal just slightly, the reception clears up! Touching the brake pedal also turns on the brake lights and disconnects the cruise control (if it’s on). Now the cruise control has died. (1) Was it old age, or did my riding the brakes just slightly kill it? (2) What can we do under the hood to improve reception so we don’t miss the games? (3) How does triggering the brake lights (or hitting the cruise-control switch) improve reception? — Connie RAY: Great questions, Connie. You would think that two guys who have been on the radio for 30-odd years would have a clue how it works.

TOM: But you’d be wrong.

RAY: Generally speaking, AM radio reception often is disturbed by a type of interference called RFI — radio frequency interference. And yes, we’re sure the “F” stands for “frequency,” despite your frustration with it creating static during a key at-bat in the bottom of the ninth inning.

TOM: RFI in a car can be constant, intermittent or related to the engine speed. Depending on which type it is, different components can be suspect.

RAY: For instance, if the noise changes with the speed of the engine, it could be the ignition, a fuel injector or the alternator. If it’s constant, it could be something like the fuel pump, or a fan motor if you leave it at the same speed all the time.

TOM: Who knows why your problem goes away when the brake lights are engaged? Maybe something is getting grounded by that connection, or an additional wire gets incorporated somehow as part of the antenna.

RAY: But in our experience, these problems are very, very difficult to eliminate. So I’m going to suggest that

you circumvent the problem entirely.

How? Get satellite radio.

TOM: You’ll get every ballgame, everywhere in the country, and your reception, particularly in the mountains, should be perfect all the time.

RAY: Satellite radio has more trouble in dense, urban areas with tall buildings.

But on CAR a mountain, yo u ’d have a clear shot right to the satellite.

TOM: In terms of your c r u i se TOM AND RAY conMAGLIOZZI trol, t h e first thing to check is the fuse. That would be the simplest and cheapest thing to fix.

RAY: If the fuse is fine, then the switch at the brake pedal could be worn out, or out of adjustment. A bad switch (stuck permanently in the “open” position) would prevent you from engaging the cruise control.

TOM: Did it have anything to do with you riding the brake pedal while listening to ballgames? It could have. But it also could have something to do with the 203,000 miles you’ve got on the car.

RAY: In any case, your mechanic can test that switch for you, and replace it if necessary. And that should get you through at least the next few seasons, Connie. Good luck.

TALK

How two safely handle a stuck accelerator Dear Tom and Ray: I’ve always heard that if your accelerator sticks, you could turn the key off (not to the locked position) to kill the engine, and then gently apply the

brakes and steer car to safety. But with these new push-button starters in cars now, how can you do that? My 83-yearold mom has a Chevy Cruze LTZ with a push-button ignition switch. The only way to turn off the car is to stop and put the transmission in park first, and then push the STOP/START button. Any suggestions? Why did the manufacturers stop making ignitions requiring keys, anyway? Cheaper? — Dan RAY: What you “heard” is wrong, Dan. You should never turn off the ignition if your accelerator sticks.

TOM: When you turn off the ignition, you lose your power steering and power brakes, making the car very difficult to steer or stop.

RAY: Instead, shift the car into neutral and leave the ignition switch alone.

The engine will keep revving, but it will no longer be moving the car. And you’ll still have full use of your steering and brakes so you can safely pull over. Then you put the car in park and turn off the ignition.

TOM: Some people worry that the engine will rev to the point where it will blow. We have two responses for those people: One, modern engines are computer-controlled, and the computer won’t let the engine exceed its “red line” limit.

RAY: And second, if by some rare chance the engine does get damaged, so what? It’s an engine. It can be fixed or replaced. If you’re dead because you couldn’t stop or steer the car, that’s traditionally been a lot harder to fix.

TOM: And by the way, the reason manufacturers have switched over to push-button stop-and-start systems is for convenience.

RAY: With “keyless” ignition systems, the car checks and makes sure that the key fob is within a few feet (in the driver's pocket or pocketbook) before allowing the push button to start the car.

TOM: That saves us the back-breaking work of having to find the key, insert the key and turn the key. I don't know how our ancestors managed all that.
